Light Wanted on a Dark Spot.

PHILADELPHIA, June IL, 1861.
The time was that when light was called for,
it came. But the command was uttered by ON
impotence. Our own calls, though constant and
loud, are puny; yet not more 50 than the ans.

in the dark. We do not understand this cam
paign. l. may be that it Is better for the coun-
try that we are thus kept in ignorance. Yet we
are itching to be admitted behind the curtain
One thing in particular we want to know How
is it that every Major-General who ventilates
himself in proclamation on taking up the line
of march to the enemy's country, comes forth
with superserviceable zeal with a pledge that
"insurrection shall be put down with an iron
hand :" or as Gen. Patterson more specifically
says, "at once to suppress scribe insurrection."
We want to know from whom gentlemen receiy-
ed their orders to promise the doing of this
dirty work for the miserable wretches whose
treason has broken up the foundations of bust
ness among twenty millions of people who need
no such work done for them. Butler began
these pledges in Maryland, then McCelland fol.
lowed him in Virginia, and now comes Patterson
in Pennsylvania. 1t is true that all Patterson's
antecedents are of the cotton stripe, for thence
came his pile. THIS may account for him, but
not for Others. How many other dirt eating
proclamntions Of the same abominable charac.

the infamies heaped upon US, that the drt-eaters
are not all dead yet. You may say that nobo.

this. The plain English of the matter is that
we don't like it. Now let us have fair under.

that the object OF the North in pouring out it's
wealth of men and money as it has done, was

WASHINGTON, June lS-The attack COM

counts for the failure Of the enemy TO pursue,
doubtless expecting strong Federal force near.

himself between the batteries and his men, Civ

and telling the boys that Ohio expected them to
