Against Reconstruction Forever

The following excellent article from the
| views and feelings Of all those in the South
who were for the Union until it was effectu-
ally broken up by the Lineolnites. They
are for separation now and forever, and the
wider the better:
Thurlow Weed says that Lincoln express
ses deep regret that he did not urge his
friends in Congress to adopt the Crittenden
Compromise, We labored, to the extent of
our ability, for the adoption of that measure
as q means OF averting the troubles now
cursing the country, but fanaticism proved
too strong for justice; the compromise was
contemptuously rejected, and the war is The
consequence. But as earnestly rs We la
bored for the Compromise and the Union,
We are glad that the first failed, and the last
il severed forever. We have lived, for years,
as one nation, with 8 people who are ROW
displaying ell The characteristics Of the
brutal sav&ge-disesrding al the obligations
OF humanity in war, az readily as they dis
regarded the Constitution and the rights OK
the South, IN pesce. Theif professions Of
piety are but the cloak OF hypocrisy; their
views Of liberty extend not beyond the priv
iiege OF. making money, without regard TO
the means. ami aII their motives OF 6ctloD
are the offspring OF ayarice and fsnsticism.
With such 8 people, the South have no sym
psthies and nc controlling interests, and had
the compromise been adopted, il would have
been but hollow truce postponing, but not
ayerting the separation which is as eternal
as time.
Well may Lincoln regret his own and the
folly Of the North in violating the Constitu-
ton and trampling upon the rights Of the
South, because that folly must result in the
ruin OF those who perpetrate6 it and the
ruin IS rendered the moro irreparable by the
additional folly of continuing war that can
serve no other purpose than TO erect between
the North and the South an impossible bar
rier Of mutual hate. The wider the separa-
tioD, the better for the South, and as if to
accomplish this to the fullest extent, the
North is giving to the war character of
savage bruta lily and wanton insult calcula.
ted to arouse and perpetuate all the bitter
ness that wrong can engender. But the
shame and the punishment Of such policy
must fall upon those who inaugurated it
and whilst the South cannot fail to suffer in
its material interests, its honor and liberty
will survive the contest, and its future be
the brighter for its eternal separation from
a people debased by avariee and maddened
by fanaticism.

CLARKsBURG Aug. 10th, 1861.
To the Loyal Inhabitants Of Western Virginia:
You are the vast majority Of the PEG
pie. 1t the principle of self govern.
mcnt is to be respected, you have the
right to stand in the position You have
assumed, faithful to the constitution and
laws of Virginia as they were before the
ordinance of secession.
The Uonfederates have determined at
all hazards to destroy the government
which, for eighty years, has defended our
rights and given us a name among the
nations. Contrary to your interests and
your wishes, they have brought war upon
your soil Their tools and dupes told
you You must vote for secession as the
only means to insure peace; that, unless
you did SO, hordes Of aboitionists would
overrun you, plnnder your property, steal
your slaves, abuse your wives and your
daughters, seize upon your lands, and
hang all those who opposed them.
By these and other atrocious falsehoods
they armed you, and led many honest and
uususpecting citizens TO vote for seces-
sion. Neither threats, nor fabricatlons,
nor intimidations suiiiced to carry West
ern Virginia, against the interests and
wishes of its people, into the arms Of Sc
cesson. fl g's- "a 5Elf rs Ct ,-lI.H
Enraged that You dared to disobey
their behests, Eastern Nirginians, who
had been accustomed to rule you, end
count your votes, and ambitious recie-
ants among yourselves, disappointed that
you would not make good their promises,
have conspred to tie you to the despe-
rate fortunes of the Oonfederacy OF drive
you from your homes. aa
Between submission to them and sub
jugation or expulsion they leave you no
alternative. You say you do not wish to
destroy the old government under which
you have lived 80 long and peacefully;
they say you shall breux it up. You say
you wish to remain citizens of the United
States; they reply, you shall join the
Southern Confederacy, to which the Rich.
mond junta has transferred you, and, to
carry their will, their jenkins, Wise,
jackson, and other conspirAtors, proclaim
upon your soil relentless and neighbor.

signs. They have set neighbor against
neighbor, and friend against friend; they
have introduced among you warfare only
known among savagcs. In violation oil
the laws of nations and humanity, they
have proclaimed that private citizens
may and ought to make war. g p sen.
Under this bloody code, peaceful citi
zens, unarmed travellers and single sol

wounded and defenceless have been killed

bALLlfOLis, W., Aug 20
The battle at Cross Lanes, near
Swonnerrille, on the Goth inst, proved
to be a bloody affair The following are
all the particulars we have learned
The Seventh Ohio regiment, Col. Ty.
Ter, was surrounded while at breakfast,
aud attacked on both TANKS aud in front
simultaneously. Our men Immediately
formed for battle, and fought bravely
while they saw but little chance of sue
cess, the enemy being too powerful.
Col. Tyler sent forward to the baggage
train which was coming up three miles
distant, and had it turned back toward
Ganley, which poiut it reached in safety.
Companies b, &, and i, suffered most
severely, they particularly were in the
hottest of the fight, and stood mp to it
brayely, and finally fought their. way
through fearful odds, making dreadful
slaughter in the enemys ranks.
The rebel force consisted of 1000 in.
fantry, 400 cavalry and 10 guns,
The ene,r, ,,rces scattered after they
had cut their way through, but soon
formed again and fired, but received no
reply or pursuit from the enemy.
Our loss is not definitely ascertained
though not over 300 are missing out OF
the 900 engaged.
The rebel loss is fearful

THE GREAT UNION GUN.
FORTRESS MONROE. va. Aug. %.

roHIhEss "oNhoE, Va, aug. 20,
There was considerable excitement at
Monroe yesterday, on account of the of.
fetal firing of the Union gun in the pres.
ence of Generals Wool, and Butler, and
other officers. The monster is mounted
on the spot formerly occupied by the
Floyd gun, which now lies overshadowsd
at its side. So may the Union overtop
treason everywhere. fGl utI|8
The firing was at three different points
"a target some distance up the beach,
the sea, in the direction of the govern
ment lightships, and a sand embarkment
provided for the purpose. The weight Of
the gun, you are aware, is 63 900 pounds,
aud it throws shot of nearly 500. Some
idea Of the range of this immense missile
may be formed from the fact that it fired
this huge ball as if il were rifle bullet
at least a mile beyond the lightship,
which is five miles distant from tho
shore. ft .o
The effect Of the shot on the beach was
tremendous, showing its power to carry
away everything before it. Shells were
thrown clear through the long sand bank
or temporary parapet, coming out on tho
opposite side, and curveting along the
shore beyond, and exloding at fearful
rate. Fragments of the exploded Shells.
of the size of common, bali torn and
shattered in various shapes, wero picked
up at a great distance. The force of the
firing shook the ground in the vicinity
causing vibration among the buildings,
as no other gun had ever done before.
The grains Of powder are as large as the
largest size almonds, being eonical in
their shape. They are hard and smooth
like pieces Of black anthracite, covered
with thin coating of lead. 1t Is said
they burn slowly, and that in this con-
sists their usual power-augmenting tho
| calorie or meteoric force until the ball
is projected with momentum that Is
terrible to behold and annihilating to
feel. trs
The firing was conducted with marked
skill by Lieut. Baylor, Of the regular or
diuance corps. This gentleman is IN en-
ti,asiast in his profession, and gives to II
all tie energies of an active scientific
mind.
.There seems 10 have been two objec-
tons suggested by this experiment. First,
that it requires too much time and too
many men to load and fire the gun. Sec
ond, that the projectile used is defective.
| give You these objections as they are
named, without being understood to
vouch for their authenticity. The men
who handled the gun on this occas on
were mostly inexperienced, being nearly
all Of the "contraband' persuasion. 1t may
be that regularly drilled gunners, with
constant practice, can load and fire more
rapidly, and without emoloying so much
:orcc 1t may be, also that projectile
! ola different and much improved charac-
ter can be used-ensuring more precision
of aim, more directness of motion, and .
still longer range"
! We shall see. The mammoth weapon
is in competent hands. If it hits seces-
sion anywhere between wind and water
it will be pretty apt to hurt its tender
feelings.
