mod the causes which impelled our fathers to
the not, are presented in detail in thet„itn
mortal paper which they ushered to the
world—a long list of grierances are thus
shown to,have been suffered by them, for
which they had , taken up arms as a last re
sort, then they found that them was no
hope of any alleviation from • the policy of
the mother country. 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.

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

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

- —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.

After the introdu io of the staff offiegra
to each other, Genearl Banks and his staff
withdrew. __ _ _
General Butler then addressed his officers
requnstin ,, each member to take pains to en
lighten and assist their successors. He spoke
in the most generous manner of Gen. tanks
and staff.
General Butler's parting address to the
.troops bears. date on the loth. 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

other members of his staff, was to sail on

General Bank was pushing things with
characteristic ediogy. Five thousand of the
