The destructive hand Of rebellion which wants
to be " let alone" has destroyed the little viii
age of llampden. a large Confederate force
advanced from Yorktown on Thursday last, and
with torch in hand consummatrl their patriotic
work of destroying private property belonging
to unoiicndiug citizens. To add to the glory Of
the heroic deed, we may state that it was done
at @ii"igdt by order and in presence OF General
Magrudcr Five hundred houses it is said were
swept away by the Aames and many of the
dwellings, had in them at the time, sleeping wo-
men and children, who were unconscious of the
iiendish work that was going On around them
The account tells us that Gcn. Butler immediate
ly upon hearing Of the affair, FASTENED to Hamp
ton Bridge, where he remained for some length
of time. Col. Weber erected b0rricada near
the Hampton end Of the bridge, and placed d
strong guard at various points this side of the
creek. Several Of tho whites and also Of the
negroes were hurried away to be pressed into
the confederate service. Mr. Scofcld, mcr
chant, took refuge III a swamp above the town.
Two negroes were drowned while attempting
to cross the creek. A company Of rebels at
tempted 10 force The passage Of the bridge, Int
were repnlsed with "a loss Of three killed and six
wounded
The fire ragged all right The greater po,t Of
the conlcderatcs Withdrew toward morning. anC
but seven or eight buildings were left standing
The object of the destruction is stated to have
been to prevent the Federal troops from usiua
the buildings as quarters during the coming
winter Gen. Nlagrudcr was encomrcd neal
New Market bridge.
Who, after NIL these repeated acts Of barbnrp
and cruelty, would not be willing to let thes,
Infamous rebels alone, and cry peace at once Il
they thus prosecute ipnoceut persons with fire
aud sword, surely they should he :" let alone
with the hangmau on the scaifoli.

THE NEW TAX Law.

Persons naturally are led to make inquiry
as to the natare and extent of the new tax bill
passed by Congress last week. The whole
amount authorized to be raised by taxation is
twenty millions Of dollars in the thirty four States
and territories of ,he Union. If however, the
entire sum had to be raised ia the north aloue
It would only amount to about one dolor he'd
for every man women and child Ccitaiuly net
very hea'y tax, when We consider that nearly
all the vital prosperity, industry and wealth OF the
country lie in the northern States. But indepet-
dent of oil this, what is n dollar per head com
parcd with the great results to be accomplished
by its pay ment live would protect our OWN
interests of whatever character, we must maa
tain lhe Union and no matter what ii may cost,
in blood and treasure, it Will be worth the sacI'
ice
Peace men are already counting the cost in dol
lars and cents but peace, men are seccssionisls
in disgriae, and think to deter the patriotic
people from defending their rights in he Union
and under the constitution by telling them that
the effort is too expensive. Cost what it may,
the urion must be preserved. Read what the
lion. Joseph Holt, a Kentucky democrat and MIR
Bucheuau'a Postmaster General says, to such
mean spirited traitors:
"Now that the booming Of the cHrnon O.
'qreason aud the cry Of men stricken unto deatt
"for fidelity to or flag are borne to us on almos
"eyery breeze, it is narrowing to the soul to b
"jragged into companionsbip with those VIII
s'still vacilitate, who are still timidly balancing
''chances and colily calculating losses and gain
''struggle for National existence petty Ques
"tion of commerce, and deliberately take on
"the'r scpics and weigh in our presence the beg
"gary jewels of trade against the life of oui
s'country.

We take the following from Washington
correspondent of the Philadelphia american, Of
yesterday
-" Il appears that the recent agreement of the
members Of the Press with Gen. Mcclellan is
daily violated, and in consequence of this, the
government, as last resort, has issued in
'structions to its agents to withhold Il ON trans
mission by telegraph any dispatches that may
'aliude to army movements or The contemplated
plans of the government for the prosecution Of
the war.
This movement will, of course, throw the
correspondents Of the press back upon the
mails, but SO far as the most prominent cite,
are concerned, there VII be scarcely days
difference between the publication of the iutel-
'ligence Ivy mail and tlnt hitherto received by
telegraph"
Thus we see that set of unprnciped scamps
whom Gen. Mcclellan mistook for honorable
men-haye already violated their faith with the
General, in reference to the publication of I'M
portant secret matter relative to the movements
of the aiiny.
Washington is infested with these political
pirates who prowl about in the various eroe.
shops, and occasionally poke their noses into
the offices of the Departments for the purpose
of sterling news to send to the papers of the
large cities, in whose employ they are These
hlreling knaves arc generally well dressed and
are mscnlled editors; title which they assume
as passport to decent society, in order the
more readily to facilitate their mean designs
They are Disgrace to the respectable newspa
per press of the country and ought, every one of
them, to be hung if caught under any pretence
within the army lines.
gentleman, recently from Washington, in
conversation day or two ago informed us tina,
every stranger who enters that city and who is
known to have any connection whatever with

Bu; il is in Missouri, another of The respected

strange way which the Confederate Government
takes to demonstrate its friendship. Nealluded

Jackson was arraying force from Tennessee anu
Arkansas and the Indian tribes of the Southwest
for the purpose OF invading the State and making
war on It's citizens. The st. Louis Republican
Of the Sd instant announces that "there Is NO
longer any reason to doubt that several thousand
troops from the Southern Coutcdetacy have con
ceutrated on its southern border for purposes
that are very we'll known Eucamped at New
Madrid, they are said to number lIUUO men,
under the command of Gen. Pillow who, pre-
imnary to his invasion oftheir Statc, has issued
a proclamation to the people of Missouri, in
which he holds the following language:

1t will be remembered by our readers that in
the act passed by the South IN Congress- sitting
at Montgomery, in Alabama, recognizing and
declaring the existence of war between the United
States and the Confederate States" nm excep-
ton was made in favor Of the States of Mary
land, Kentucky, Missouri, and Delaware, to-
gcther with the Territories of Arizona and
New Mexico, and the Indian Territory south of
Kansas. These States and Territories whether
because Of some similarity in their constitutions"
or of IL supposed sympathy for the secession
cause, equally with the States of North Carolina.
Tennessee, aud Arkansas. which at the date of
the declaration of war had not "sCceded," were
excluded from the category of States against
which the Confederate Government proposed to
assume hostile attitude.
It in singular contrast with these words of ex-
ceptiona friendship that the political and mill
tary authorities of the Seeded States seem to
have made the loyal States Of Maryland, Ken
lucky, and particularly Missouri, the objects of
special outrage and resentment--of outrage, MS
shown in the invasion of their SOIL and of resent
ment MS shown in the wanton destruction of their
property. In Kentucky our readers will re-

AN IMPupEET TRAITOR

John c. Breckenridge, the pet lamb Of the
Observation-Disclosures of the country, had
the bold impudence to stand up, on Friday, and
attempt tic preach treason into the ears OF The
loyal people Of Baltimore Notwithstanding his
native State Kentucky just rcbuked him
by most decided vote in favor OF the Union.
Verify these traitors 10 their coun ny are becom-
ing decidedly more and more bold, and unless
the government pursuesa more rigid policy in
regard to them they will ere long, do infinite
mischief to the cause of the Union. Why should
such Infamous traitors he permitted to vomt
forth their treason, at will, WIDER the Plea of
freedom Of speech aud Of the press? How long
will it be tolerated
