Accused are the traitors that raise to rebel
Their names are mildew, their presence pollu-
tion!
When men raise the sword to battle oppression,
Kind Heaven propitiously smiles on their
cause; g
But tyranny turks where unholy ambition
Hath struck At the power of the popular laws.
Then up with oolumbia's Gag let it wave
In the face of the foe that would rend it
BY the blood Of the brave, by our Washington's
grave,
With God on our side we'll defend it!

MORE OF OBTAINING SUPPLIES FOR TIE REBEL
ARkY.-We would specially recommend to
Aminadab Sleek, Hon. Jeremiah Wood and all
other advocates, defenders and secret agents OF
the rebels in our midst as well as those who
are complaining about the violation of the Con.
stitution by the President, to carefully read and
inwardly digest the three prOclamations Of Gen.
Beauregard, COMMANDMENT Chief of the Rebel
army at Manassas issued since the first day of
June; and il they are then convinced that the
only wrong that has been committed has been
on the part of she North, and their consciences
will still permit them to praise and uphold the
tyranny and military despotism Of the South,
We would advise them to pack up their traps
and pitch their tents in that portion OF the Old
Dominion coming directly under the supervision
of Toutant Beauregard.
On the first day Of June, Beauregard, in great
anxiety for reinforcements, issued his proclama-
ton, sending it forth from his masked batteries
1t Manassas Junction to the peope Of Loudon,
Fairfax and Prince William Counties, command.
ing them to rally to his assistance To drive out
the "unprincipled tyrant, Abraham Lincoln"
who had sent his hosts among them with the
Z" war cry Of beauty and booty" The proclama.
ton was filled with similar absurd and ridiculous
statements, hone of which reflect any credit on
the talents of the man who is so loudly praised
by his secession friends of the North, and is
not at all calculated to leave an impression on
the mind of an impartial reader of any great.
genius on the part of its author. The second
document which we refer to is the letter to Gen.
Bonham, signed by Beauregard in his official
capacity, directing him to arrest the following
persons, viz ALFRED Recher, Ebin Mason, John
Mason, r. F. Roberts, Jonathan Roberts and
Levi Deming, their offence being that they pre-
ferred the United States government to that of
the socalled Confederate States and had ex-
pressed themselves as being opposed to seces-
sion. :" You will" says Beauregard, "obtain
secret information proving the above charges.
If the testimony should be deemed sufficient,
you will have them arrested and forwarded to
Governor William Smith. at Warrenton; but
should the testimony amount only to suspicion,
they will be allowed twenty-four hours to leave
the country, not to return until after the war;"
At the end Of the war they will certainly have
nokdesire to return for according to the laws
of the Rebels, the property of all such persons
is to be con6scated.
The last proclamation was issued on the Esd
of July, when he sent forth his foragiDg parties
for food and wagons to supply his army. In this
document, after stating that all classes must
contribute their quota "-leaving no loophole-
" if they do not" he modestly adds, "constraint
must be employed with all who are forgetful of
their obligations" This excels the tyranny of
the despots of the Old World, and is perfect
violation Of all constitutional rights, personal
liberty or freedom OF speech. 1t shows beyond
q question that the Southern government is
simply military despotism on grand scale.
Yet we suppose, from the course of the croak-
ers and stickiers for the constitution in our
mi st, since they continue to uphold the South,
that it is just the kind of constitutional liberty
they are longing for. 1t is q beautiful illustra'
ton of the consistency of these sympsthizers
with secession who applaud such despotic out
RACES of the South and cavil at the slightest
necessary application of martial law at the
North.
Every trivial success on the part Of the rebels,
lusVcdu Vi CdustuS uVuluCdsiOA Va SuSt' M
nv, only makes them the more arrogant. The
idea of freedom, under the rule of the leaders
of the rebellion, is perfectly preposterous. Sc.
cession commenced with robbery, has been
carried on with tyranny, carrying blight, ruin
and devastation to every section that it touched,
and, unless put down by the patriotism of the
freedom loving people in the North, will end in
anarchy, before which the deeds of the dark
ages viii! sink into insignifcance-INew York
