CowARDICE OF GENERAL SCOTT
In speech delivered at Newark, N.
j., Judge Conrad, of Philadelphia, in
answer to charge of cowardice made
against Gen. Scott, produced a docu-
ment which was sworn to a year since,
as part of the evidence of a soldier at
Lundy's Lane, who stated in his affida-
Wit that Gen. Scott, after he was woun-
ded, rode to where the soldier was sta
toned, "his neck, breast, and arm in a
gore of blood, which ran down his
legs, and trickled from his boot to the
ground" and said to the commander
of the line: 81 am wounded and very
weak want one of your young men to
get up behind me and hold me on my
horse" A young man threw down his
musket, and at one spring leaped upon
the horse, and they swiftly galloped
away to the main body of the army.
The excitement produced by reading
the document was tremendous. Hun
dreds rose on their feet and gave most
vehement cheers, so that it was some
minutes before the speaker could pro-
coed.

An Outrageous Traitor.

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune writing from Mr.. II. A. Bur-
nett's District, the disunion member
from Kentucky, relates the circum-
stance of his having no longer ago
than last Spring, in public address at
Princeton, denounced the national flag,
as the INFAMOUS BLACK REPUBLICAN
LINCOLN BANNER, and said it was an
outrage and an insult that such a flag
should be suffered to pollute the air of
Kentucky. He called on the croaod to
tear 1T doaon and tran,aole at into dust
A large number Of ,UJiiion men, many
VI them old men, instantly gathered
round the flag staff, with pistols and
knives, determined to kill the first one
who should attempt to follow the coun-
sells of Burnett. Mr.. Breckenridge
who was near by, was called and acted
as pacifcator, averting what came near
being serious encounter. Burnett is
one of the five men who voted against
the appropriation to carry on the war.
We are not surprised that he opposes
the administration in its efforts to
maintain the Constitution.

A relationship is said to have
existed between the late Sultan of Tur-
key and the present Emperor of France.
The grandmother of Abdul Mediid was
a creole of Martinique, Mile. de Rive
ry, and connection by blood of jose
phine de la Pegerle, the maternal an.
cestress of the French Emperor. Mile.
de Rivery, after finishing her education
in France, was returning to Martinique
at the age of eighteen years, when the
vessel which conveyed her was captured
by an Algerine pirate. She was taken to
Algiers, and bought by the Dey, who
found her so lovely that he sent her to
the Sultan. She became the favorite
Sultana Of Abeul Hamed, father of
Mahmoud, and grandfather of Abdul
Medjid. 1t was the European educa-
ton which she gave to Mahmoud that
made him so superior man.

The Position of Manassas.

That one readers may the more fully
understand the immence disadvantage
under which the Union army labored
in the attack upon Manassas, aside
from the vast superiority of numbers
on the part of the enemy, and the bet
ter appreciate the cool bravery and gal
lantry of our troops, it is necessary to
comprehend the position and its de-
lenses. The clearest description of it
we have seen is from correspondent
of the New Orleans Picayune, writing
from Manassas. 1t will be seen that
the position is by nature very strong
one, and made almost impregnable by
the immense defenses thrown up around
it. Ten thousand men ought to have
defended it against forty thousand.
The Picayu'ae correspondent says:
"By nature, the position is one of
the strongest that could have been
found in the whole State. About half
way between the eastern spur of the
Blue Ridge and the Potomac, below
Alexandria, it commands the whole
country between so perfectly that there
is scarcely a possibility of its being
turned. The right wing stretches off
toward the Occoquan, through a wood
ed country, which is easily made i'm
passable by the falling of trees. The
left is rolling table land, easily COM
manded from the successive elevations,
till you reach a country so rough aud
so rugged that it is defense to itself.
The key to the whole position, in fact,
is precisely that point which Gen.
Beauregard chose for his center, and
which he has fortified so strongly that,
in the opinion of our military men,
5000 men could there hold 10000 at
bay.
"The position, in fact, is fortified, in
part, by nature herself. 1t is a seces-
sion of hills, nearly equidistant from
each other, in front of which is ra-
vine so deep and so thickly wooded
that it is impossible only at two points,
ana tnOSe through SOrSeS WHICH My
men can defend against whole army.
"Of the Notifications superadded
here by Gen. Beauregard to those of
nature, it is of course not proper for me
to speak. The general reader, in fact,
will have sufficiently precise idea of
them by conceiving line of forts some
two miles in extent, zig-zag in form,
with angles, salients, bastions, case
mates and everything that properly be-
longs to works of this kind"
Behind these complete intrench-
ments, which, as the correspondent
states. more than quadrupled their
strength, the chivalry were gathered
to the number, probably, of not less
than 10000 with every supply that the
exhausting of the whole country could
fusnish, and with the flower of the
troops of the cotton States who had
been more than six months under drill.

The Rebel Loss.

All accounts indicate that the rebe
losses at the battle of Sunday were
much more severe than ours. Their
lowest estimate places the number Of
killed and wounded at two thousand
while more reliable authority says they
lost from three to four thousand. A
gentleman who has for years resided
in Virginia, and was inside the rebe
lines during and after the battle, and
who has since arrived in Philadelphia
gives his estimate from actual observa
ton. He states, also, that we have had
no adequate idea of the number of the
rebel army assembled at Manassas, OF
of the extent of their preparation in
the way of entertainments.

Death to Traitors |!

1t is high time for the Administra
ton to adopt some decisive and effec
tual measures to cleanse Washington
of the infamous gang of traitors who
infest that city. Every department: Of
Government, every hotel, and almost
every private house in the city is pol.
luted with the presence of these de-
graded wretches, either male or female
Many of them are acting as spies, and
others keep up reasonable cores.
pondence with the enemy. Through
their means the rebel leaders are kept
thoroughly posted as to the number
strength, position and movements OF
our troops. Every item of information
that may be of value is promptly com.
municated to them. This is done with
the utmost impunity, and chiefly
through the agency of female spies
women passing for ladies in Washing
ton and mingling with all classes of so.
ciety there. Papers and maps left by
rebel officers in their flight from Cen,
terville, proved that the rebels had been
advised of our march to Manassas.
Thus far the administration seems to
have made very little effort to rid the
city of these spies and traitors. Every
man in the department found to have
been in correspondence with the rebels,
and every spy, even though she should
be the wife of Davis or Beauregard
should be hung without remorse. The
country has already suffered too much
from these base wretches, and it is time
it was brought to an end. The public
safety requires it. Nothing but the
summary execution on the gallows Of
every such traitor and spy who may be
arrested, will accomplish fhe object
If the Administration longer neglect
this precaution, it will be held respon
sible for the consequences.-AdU.

The Rebel Force Three Times Ours.

The New York Tribune, of Friday,
states that it is established that the
secessionists had $1,000 men within
their lines at Bulls Run, on the morn.
ing of Sunday last, and that jeff. Davis
in person brought up $4,000 more
from Richmond, who reached there
about noon. They had, therefore, fully
three times as many as Gen. Mcdowell,
and four times as many as were brought
into action on our side. On the other
hand, it must be admitted that the pre-
ponderance of spectators on our side
was very great.

We are permitted to copy the follow
ing extract from a private letter from
Kansas to a gentleman in this village :
OssAwAroME, Kansas, June, 1861.
FRIEND II. 4 4
Crops of every description look fine
and promise an abundant harvest, the
people are in good spirits in anticipa-
ton of again enjoying the fruits Of
their labors. There is much larger
area sown and planted in Kansas than
ever before and present prospects in
dictate that we have not sown and
planted in vain as we did last season.
1t was generally provided that there
would be little or no emigration to
Kansas this season on account of the
hard times, consequent upon there be-
ing no crop raised last year. Our
population however, is daily being aug
mented by hundreds of emigrants from
our neighboring State, Missouri, who
are driven out by the Secessionists,
they are mainly good, peaceable citizens,
who prefer to leave their homes and
start anew in new country, than to
follow in the wake of Claib. Jackson
and his cohorts.
Business of all kinds is fast reviving
from the lethargy into which it had
fallen, and the prospect ahead seems to
breathe new life and vigor into every
branch of industry.
The war spirit RACES here as else
where and you may rest assured that
Kansas will do her share towards vim
dicating the honor of our Flag.
Respectfully Yours, K.

Important Action of Congress.

We have entered our protest against
exciting slavery issues during this war,
but we must express our entire appro-
val of the resolution of Senator Trum.
bull that slaves employed by the rebels
against the Federal troops shall be for.
feited to their masters. This is right.
1t has been the universal expression
that the army shall not interfere with
slavery, and slaves must not be en-
ployed against the loyal men of the
North. The yeas and nays taken upon
this question show most gratifying
state of facts, but six members having
been found to vote against it. The
passage of the manly resolutions of Mr..
Crittenden are a sign scarcely less sig
nifcant.-Det. Tribune.

The Colored Hero william TiIIman.

We observe by the New York pa
pers that the negro William Tillman,
who succeeded in retaking the schoon-
err s. H. Waring from the prize crew OF
Eve men who had been put on board
her, by killing three of them and in
timidsting the other two so that they
worked under his orders, together with
che sailor, William Tedding, who stood
at the wheel, pistol in hand, while the
deed was going on, have been induced
by Mr.. Barnum to appear at his muse
nm in that city. The achievement of
the colored hero is of a character that
entities him to the higher rank than
Chat enjoyed by the general category of
Barnum's curiosities. 1t appears by
the statement of Tillman that he SUBJ
mitted meekly to the injuries heaped
upon him by the pirates, until he saw
them defacing the flag of the {" stars
and stripes" and Transforming it into a
vile thing ornamenting it with the
stars and bars" This he says made
a "thumping IN has 6reast," and he re-
solved if possible to avenge the indig-
nifty. The result shows how well his
noble resolution was carried out.
A negro, eutitled to no higher esti-
mate than that usually placed upon his
character, would not have had the cour-
age nor the intelligence, least of all the
patriotism, to have conceived and exc
cuted this achievement. Although his
skin is dark, Tillman is no less hero
than many whose deeds fill glowing
HAPPIER in the worlds history, and his
me deserves to be remembered
ong those honored ones who have

inct of patriotism as pure as any
