Senator Trumbull.
Our readers have not forgotten, probs.
bly, the eloghent and scathing speech of
Senator TatrimuLL, of Illinois, published
in the Observer, a couple 'weeks ago. As,
might be expected, it has- caned. , a great
sensation in Republican circles, and Mr.
TRUMBULL Is getting his full share of abuse.
He is called a renegade, a "traitor," a
"copperhead," and all the rest of the
pleasant titles which our political enemies
know so well ho* to apply. The Chicago
Tribune, blood and thunder Abolition, is
especially bitter. Read what it says : •
"He (Senator Trumbull) takes his stand
by the side of Vallandigham and Fernan
do Wood! Freedom of speech to utter
treason and destroy the Union now is his
doctrine.
"It is just such conduct as that of Mr.
Trumbull, in Chicago, that will put a cop
perhead in the Presidential chair] It is
this contemptible, mak*" estoordies of leading
.n, who should stand up for the right,-
that makes the cause of the traitors 'strong.
"Mr. Trumbull is recognised 02 the champion
Qj copperheadiam ; and .he can have the sat
isfaction of reflecting that he and his
friends have cone more injury to the au
thority of the President in one hour than
they can ever remedy in the balance IV their
worthlcas lives." •
~.oft is plain as the light of day that the
Federal' officeholders, who tolerate no
criticism of the acts of the Administration
by Democrats, will neither allow - it by their
own party friends. They have resolved
to throw Mr. Trumbull overboard at once,
"where," as sue organ says, "he can drift
to thoftitle he belongs." Their conduct
in this instance calls to mind a passage in
the famous letter of Tivasow Wun--sar
castically called his "dying speech. and
confession"—on taking leave of political
Life, where the veteran leader declared i ,

and entirely different one, 'With all the
mo4ern improvements.' "
Isehood Refuted.
Anoth
The Republican papers, almost without
exception, have/ published the following
extract from the. Harrisburg Telegraph,
with contments in their peculiar vein :
_ "One bUthe on dire of the rebel' occupa
tion of Chambersburg was the refusal of
'General Jenkins to take the hand of the
'late postmaster of that borough. The
rebel declared that he was ready to take
the hand of an, open foe in frank greeting,
but he scorned to touch the flesh of those,
who were known as 'copperheads,' term
ing them 'sneaks and hypocrites unworthy
tie recognition of brave med."
. A correspondent of the Harrisburg Pa
triot explodes this fresh lie, in a manner at
once brief and convincing. He says :
"'The late Postmaster at Chambersburg'
—Mr. John Liggett—a dead, and be. been
bmied \ sbout six months: t - He died of dis
ease contracted while he was serving un
der the flag of the United States, with a
musket en his shoulder and a knapsack
on his back : whilst that cowardly Hessian
liar and scoundrel, the Postmaster at Har
risburg, and publisher of the Tory Tele
graph, was staying it home, growing rich
on Government pickings-and hugging his
money-bags closer than his Bible. "

NrIPALPIII.3 INTHZ Aititi-z-The award
of t e privilege of selling newspapers in
the Army of the Potomac has been made
to a person from New York, who. pays
$l,BOO a month for the right' to sell to
newsboy! at a fixed advance upon Nei(
York prices. Papers to the soldiers will,
be five Cents a copy, which will give each
newsboy a fair profit upon every sheet sold.,
- 7 Exclunige.
We think it is a-deep disgrace that the
soldiers of our armies should be obliged to
pay a tax for the privilege of reading. It
Is bad enough that 'the Administration
should first exclude what papers they de
not want them to. read, but to cruse
them - to Pay double prices for such as they
are allowed 'to have, is adding outrage to
outrage. The high ppm at which papers
are sold In the Army of the Potomac must
deprive many a brave soldier oflykpriv
liege of reading, unless he borrows of his
neighbor.'
Sous or 'the Republican journals rejoice
over the fact that the rebels, while id-this ,
State, •robbed a number of Democrats of
their property; and otherwise treated them
in a disgraceful manner. The editors of
these papers have not the shrewdness to
see in what an inconsistent **Eon the
recital of such instances places them. Ever
since the war began, they hate been re
peating the charge that a synnatiby exist
ed between the rebels and Democrats, but
no sooner do the former enter the State,
than they give the lie to theie Abolition
assertions, by wantonly dest'roying . the
property of gentlemen connected with our
party. We do not know what better proof
could be given of the sound Union senti
ments of Democrats than the fact that
they are equally hated by rebels and Abo
litionists. • ;

On passing out of Viet end of the
town the enemy was ; o ed advancing
rapidly from the Chinn burg turnpike
in the line of battle toward the town,
evidently endeavoring to hold an advan
tageous position commending the valley.
The First Corps, under Gen: Re=

enth Army Corps, under General Howard,
was also soon in possession, and for a time
quite a heavy battle raged. Several charg
es were made by the, enemy to dislodge
our forces, all of which were unsuccessful.
At three o'clock, the enemy massed his
entire forces, and endeavored to turn our
right wing. Gen. Reynolds advanced to
meet them, and a heat* infantry fight en

poaition for which the struggle was made
at the close of the fight, which ceased for
the day at about 4 b'Oock in- the after

Nothing during the war has equalled
this six hours of carnage. In front of
Geary 4 position were more rekteT deed
than the number of the entire list of casu
alties in the 12th corps. The dead were
lying literally in heaps, many bit in all
-manner of &wreak feint' a clean shot
through the head, to bodies torn to pieces
by exploding shells.
At 10 o'clock Slocum had »pulsed and '
driven back the enemy at every point,
and reoccupied his original position. The
battle ceased at 11 o'clock, and a pause
like to the stillness of death rested for 3
hours on the living and dead.
At 2 o'clock on Friday afternoon Lee
,opened a line of artillery fire from about
one hundred guns, concentrated against
Cemetery Hill and the position along the
center held by the 2d and a part of the
lstcorps.
The fring was responded to by all the
batteries on • the hill, and then ensued
hours of cannonading unstftessed lit in
cessant fierceness by any artillery battle
on this Continent. The artillery fire con
tinued till 4 o'clock, when the solid col
umns of rebel infantry were again seen
moving in the wood in. front of the cen
ter. held by the ist and 2d corps.
The head of the column was directed
against a position held by Gen. Webb,
'commanding a brigade in the 2d corps.
His troops *re old, and bravely with
stood the charge. The steady fire of the
National troops staggered the enemy, and
the rebel' Gen. Armistead, who lead the
charge, wishing to steady his column,-
halted it for a moment at a fence.
Gen. Webb seeing the movement palled
out to his brigade, "Charge! the enemy
is ours." And true enough he was. The
commanding Gen. - Armistead and 4,500
men were captuied by the closing in of
the 2d corps on the right, and the Ist on
the left.
The enemy was ;driven. back over the
Bela` with
,grest slaughter. The enemy
then withdrew from the geld and the bat
tle ended.
The . slaughter on both sides has been
terrible. 15,000 will scarcely cover the
casualties in killed and wounded in the
National army. The rebels are said by
correspondents to have _suffered a loss of
25,000 in killed, wounded and prisoners.
Four of their Generals—Armistead, Arch
er, Garnett and llarksdide have beezi
killed. The reported capture of Long
street is not confirmed.
The above accountii mainly taken from
the N. Y. Tribune's correspohdenoe. Since
preparing it, we have received the Har
risburgPatriot,which contains a letter from
a gentleman who it says is perfectly reli
able, giving the - collowing :, left Gen.
lfeade's headquarters at 5 o'clock, p. m.,
Sunday, and have zidiable information.
The fight on Friday was a decided repulse
of Lee. The battles of the let and 2d
were against us. .The General estimates.
the losses as nearly equal, to wit: abiait
14,000 killed and wounded on each side.
He thinks his prisoners will count about
5,000; and Lee' hie taken about 3,500 of
our men.
The rebels have entirely left Pennsylva
nia, and are endeavoripg to make their
way-South as ,rapidlyt'is possible.' The
Potomac River is quite high and it is said
that they caniot cross. Oen. Meade's
army is following them up cloeely, and
another battle is daily expected. Dispatch
es say that Lee will either have to fight'or
surrender; the former, almost certain
defeat is before hths. We cannot sea how
the rebel wily will escape total rout. .
A late' dispatch as that Oen.. Meade
ce
rently made an address to his army in
which he• claimed to have taken 30,000
prisoners and 60 pieces of artillery. Our
cavalry have harassed the rebels during
their retreat, and captured many prison
ers and destroyed large.portions of their
supplies. The rebel troops that-have been
captured claim that the original farce with
which they entered Pennsylvania was
75,000 men, and say the army is greatly
dispirited. We have earnest hopes that
before we go to press we • may be able to
announce that the whole army of Lee his
been destroyed.
