These causes of Com plaint are well known to every school boy in the land, and are a fearful catalogue of what the men of '76 suffered before they deter mined to draw the sword against the crown of Esigland. how different has been the eourso of the rebels in commencing the present war.— They have never shown, in any manner, the causes which:have impelled them to take up arms against a government which was- ee -1 knowledged by their most eminent men to have been the most paternal which ever ex fated, and under which they hut lived and prosperei beyond any other people upon the thee of the globe. Their own usurping gov etnment, as we have recently shown, through its own recognized agents to Europe, Yanoy &Co most authoritatively announced to the world that they had no fears for the safety of their slaves, for they pointed to the laws which had been adopted, and the measures taken, to prove that there was no fear of that species of their property being endangered— and that was the only reason- •ever assigned for the attempt to• disrupt the Government. They do not, like our forefathers, rebel against a goveroment in which they had no hand in establishing, or against laws with which they had nothing to do in enacting. They were, in fact, part and parcel of the Government—had in reality controlled its policy and its measures for more than three fourths of the time which it existed, although their section waslar in the minority in point of numbers and other important requisites; and it was only because they feared they could not longer control it to suit Voir pride, ambition, o r supposed interests, that they determined to sever it, and at the risk or cost of rivers of blood and thousands of the lives of their own fellow-eitize. , • , severed in their diabolical efforts. Not one single charge have they made, or can make, of any act committed by the Gen eral Government against their rights or in- forests, as recogn:sed under the Constitution their fathers as well as ours had solemnly formed,. up to the time they commenced this bloody contest. They have never shown that any oppresFion had been exercised to wards them, and they distinctly declared that they feared none; therefore those who pretend to justify such a rebellion, can give no justification for their course until :they can show as the men of the revolution had done, that their oppressions requirel them to resort to the last refuge of the oppressed. relland(qhant and an Ugly Acquaintance, —The Ohio Journal has the following inci dent of Mr. Vallandigham's late visit to Mans field, Ohio.

During the night we encamped in a graveyard in the town. • In the morning the Rebels shelled the town for a couple of 'hours. On the 15th our Brigade was order ed out on picket, our Regiment doing duty outside and within fifty yards of the rebel pickets. By daybreak we were withdrawn and marched back to Fredericksburg and by daylight re-crossed the river, covering the retreat of the whole corps. There again our escape from destruction was miraculous for the rebels with their batteries _might have cut us to pieces. • - —Three Disastrous Fires.—On Wednesday night the massive building, erected but Sev eral years ago by the Caledonia Springs Company, situated in South Mountain, aboUt 15 miles from this place, was totally-destroy ed by fire, together with, as we have under stood, some $l5OO worth of furniture. We believe the building was unoccupied at the" time, and the fire was therefore the work of au incondiriry. Fortunately, a large amount of bedding had beeu taken from the bUild ing some time ago, otherwise tho loss. would have been much greater. There is 'an insu rance on the paoperty, but to what amount we have not learned, The main building we suppose, coudi not have cost less than $20,00, and the loss over and abeve insu rance, must be heavy. On Thursday night following, a large Brick are, t o prop r of Mr. John- Sol 19herger, residing near Furtkstown, Guilford township, ,tae also destroyed by fire, together with some 1200 steels of wheat, about r - 1500 bushels of oats and an immense amount of hay, which was in and stacked about the building. This fire wat also the work of an incendiary. All the live stook was got out safely, but other valuable property was con sumed, making tho total loss very heavy. The fanners in that ocknuuttuiti have organi mei a kind of mutual insuranco ocrthpany a mong themielves, and in this way Mr. S. is insured, but to what extent we do not as yet know. On Saturday last the extensive Straw Sheds, &e., belonging to the Straw Paper Mill, of Messrs Haber & Lambert, located in the Northern part of the toweJogether with several hundred tons of straw, wore consum ed by fire. Part of the building was, occupi ed by a family, who was eniployeci 'on the premises. The origin of the fire is not ex actly known, but. as there had been baking done in the oven that day, it is supposed that sparks from the oven were communicated to the straw, which 'was nat very fur off. The flames spread rapidly, and consumed every thing on the lot, but through the efforts of the firemen they were prevented front ex tending to other buildings. Although the buildings were not very valuable, it will cost a good deal to replace them. The personal effects of the German family, were, no be lieve, wit h few _exceptions, destroyed. The loss of Moans & Lambert, will not fall far short of $l5OO. No insurance. —Chamberibury Dispatch. GETTING TIRED Or Tug WIIII,O--The Ma atn (Ga.) Telegraph of the 10th has a long article on peace.

He alludes in eloquent terms to their successors . in the field, and in restoring order and quiet to New Orleans, to the feeding of the starving wives and children of their enemies, and states that the expedition had cost the Gov ernment less by four-fifths than any other.

A Difficult and Daring Raid Made by the U. S. Forces—Uapture of Van Buren, FAYETTEVIL P ., Ark., Deo.- 29.—One of the Most difficult and . dating raids of the war has just been made by a part of the Army of the Frontier. — ^-Qp Saturday, General Herron started with a portion of his cavalrjv and infantry forces for the other side of the Boston Nountitins. General Blunt :eft Cane Hill at the same time by another route, the two columns be ing about six thousand strong. •They started in light marching order, with six days' cooked rations, and marched forty-two 'miles Without= stoppage. General Horron took with him two batter ies without caissons. 'The artillery and bag gage wagons were drawn acmes the mountains by twelve-horse teams. At daylight yesterday morning the two commands joined at Lee's Creek, three miles south of the mountains, from whence the cavalry and. artillery, numbering 2,000 men, started for Van Buren, leaving,- the infantry to follow as fast as possible. Two rebel regiments of cavalry wore en countered at Dripping Spring. After u sharp skirmish, they were put to flight, leav ing seven killed and a npnber of wounded on the field. Our forces immediately followed , the reb ols-ileeing-to-Vait-Buren,_whelk_a_spleadid charge was made, led by Generals Blunt and Herron in person, resulting in a complete victory over the nervy. The rebel Miry rushed aboard sonic team-boats-which-were-lying-at-the-wharf and escaped to the other side of the river.— Two of the steamers, with over a hundred prisoners among them, were captured. A third boat was run ashore, which, with the others, will be destroyed: A largo quantity of corn, camp equipage, transportation. antra number off - mules and horses, wore also seized. Irho - full extent of the capturesis not yet known. When the messenger left, the infantry and artillery were about eight miles in the rear, hastenin g ; forward as fast as the nearly impassable roa ds would allow.' The people of that section were taken en ply by surprise and terribly frightened 'Reneral Hindman is on the other side of the river with his whole force, unable and unwilling to engage us. The pathway to the Arkansas river has now been opened, and if the gunboats will open the lower end of it,.the, win•er's work. of the Army of the Frontier is clearly marked out.
