GEN. BANKS AND THE CoNTRABANDs.-
1t is stated, in reply to the charge that Gen.
Banks transported contrabands on his army
wagons, while his soldiers went afoot, in the
flight down the Shenandoah valley, that the
only pretext for this charge is the permission
given to little girl, who had travelled on
foot thirty miles in one day, to ride upon
one of the caissons, and no soldier, either
wearied or wounded, was left behind in the
march from Winchester, except one, who
was too badly wounded to bear even trans
portation IN an ambulance. Along the
whole mar Oh, Gen. Banks himself was with
the rear guard, and all stragglers of every
description were picked up and carried
along.

ONE OF THE ORATIoNs.-The N. Y.

the Phi Beta Kappa Society in that city,
intimates that the production was some
what lengthy. 1t says-"The Grafton oc-
cupied full two hours in its delivery, and
would fill at least sixteen columns in the
Times. 1t was almost entirely historical,
and embraced period commencing ante

CANADA LEFT Our IN THE Cold

CANADA LEFT Our IN THE CODA
recent editorial article 10 the London Times
informs the people OF Canada that they
must defend themselves from American in
vasion, as England cannot do it. The Times
says:-" 1t is out of our power to send forth
from this little island a military force suffi-
cient to defend the frontier of Canada
az inst the numerous armies which have
learnt arms and discipline in the great school
OF the present civil war" And again -
Should the colony wish to put an end to it
the connection We would never draw the
sword to defend it, and if Canada will not
fight to protect its independence from foreign
invasion, neither will England"

"a The secesh women still rampage

V The secesh women still rampage
over the famous order, and one of them
addresses saucy letter to Gen. Butler
in the Delta, in which she says -
81 am the wife OF a foreign subject,
who has sworn that if, during the contin-
uance Of your command of the Yankee
troops in this city, | am insulted or annoy
ed in the manner set forth in your order,
he will have your life-may be not for a
day, week month, or year after the
indignity has been offered, and perhaps
not here-but none the less surely will
his vengeance follow you wherever you
may 90. Neither the war of the colonies
for independence, nor the war of 1912
with great Britain, furnishes a parallel to
your brutality, and were it not that the
city contains not a single native-born
Southerner, or naturalized foreigner, who
has the least spark of manhood left, your
career would soon be cut short. But
among the unnaturalized foreigners there
is spirit enough to resent the least at
tempt to interfere with their rights. As
for you, individually, had you come here
among US as friend, instead of an enemy,
it would not have changed our opinion of
you-for your villainy is too apparent in
your face to have deceived any one of or
binary discrimination. You would pass
we'll for an off-shoot to that squirting,
arch fiend, James Gordon Bennett"

ernor of South Carolina enter into cove
nant with Uncle Sam that the latter
shall have certain piece Of land owned
by them in common, in perpetuity, to
build fort upon, in consideration that the
grantee shall render protection to the
grantors in person and property. After
a while Greeley becomes dissatisfied with
his bargain, because he thinks Uncle Sam
is partial to the Governor, and gives no.
tice that he shall from and after date be
entirely absolved from its obligations, and
shall enter upon the land, and occupy
the fort for himself, He has seeded from
the "Union." What is the effect of
that' Surprising Greeley for the mo-
ment, to be sort of corporation sole,"
analogous to State" has he broken his
neck by giving notice that he will break
his corenant? Is he teio de ses Or is
the covenant abrogated, even? We rather
suspect that if Uncle Sam were to put his
covenant in suit and summon Mr.. Gree
ley before the court to answer for the
breach, he would find that the covenant
was still valid and binding upon him, that
all his obligations remained as at first
and his head still upon his shoulders, tho
it might be in "chancery."
A State is but an aggregate of individ-
uals acting through corporate machinery
and agencies. As well therefore might
you say that every individual who repu-
dates his contract thereby commits sui
eide, as to say a state commits suicide by
attempted secession. At least so it
seems to us.

A TRAITOR HUNG.-The Tribune
correspondent gives an account of the
hanging of man who pulled down the
flag of General Butler, upon the mint in
New Orleans. He was tried by court
martial, found guilty and hung. A large
concourse of citizens were present to wit
ness the execution. THIS has one traitor
to his country paid the penalty. We
think it will exert salutary influence
among the people of New Orleans, and in
fact, throughout secessiondom, and will
give them to understand that the Govern
ment has been trifed with long enough,
and is determined to assert the suprema-
cy of the Stars and Stripes in every part
of Southern territory at all hazards.

FROM THE SoUTH.-Captain Drew
writes to the Burlington Free Press from
Salisbury, N. c., under date of May 30,
an interesting letter. Among other things
he says he has positive knowledge that,
"had our fleet attacked Charleston, as the
people there expected, it would have fall
len at once. There was not 5000 troops
there, and the troops were entirely unpre-
pared. | say this on absolute knowledge"
He says further Had our gunboats run
up the James River as soon as the Merri-
mac was destroyed, they could have come
to Richmond, for no Instructions were in
the channel of the river, and the ammuni-
ton had not been taken down to Bluff 5
Point Battery. This know to be true.
They would have found hundreds of Union
men in prison and out, and a city glad
to be captured"
The Capt. wrote upon knowledge which
doubtless he deemed reliable; but our re-
collection is that the Galena and other
gunboats did 60 up the James River some
time before the Merrimac was DESTROYED.
Perhaps had they pushed alone more
rapidly they would nave arrived at Dru-
RVS Point before the ohstruct ions were
completed, and yet they may have felt
their way along as fast as was possible
Never mind, we shall be in Richmond in
good time, and we sincerely hope it will
prove true that there are hundreds of
Union men ready to greet our army, and
that it is really city waiting to be cap
tured."
Captain Drew says that he has sold
$40 u. s. Treasury note for two $40
Confederate notes, showing the conf
dence Of the people of the South in the
United States currency rather than in
their own. He says when he was sent to
Charleston, at every stopping place, the
crowd would shout for jeff Davis but
when he returned, they were either silent,
or said they "wished the war aOas over."

sE 1t is now positively asserted that
Gov. Stanley did not order the negro
schools at Newbern to be closed, but sim
ply stated that if the State returned to the
Union, and resumed her loyalty, the local
law of North Carolina forbidding the
teaching Of slaves, would be enforced, and
that MIR. Collyer Inexperienced the Gov
ernor. Mr.. Collyer, it is said has return
ed to Newborn with the intention of re-
opening the schools.

The rebels are exceedingly anxious to
provoke conflict in which they would have
our men at disadvantage, and the object of
their frequent assaults upon our wings, is to
tempt the troops away from their batteries
and redoubts. They will hardly succeed,
however. Mcclellan has taken great pre-
cautions against being drawn into fight be-
fore he Is ready.

DEAR B,-I have been trying to write
home for several days, but have not been able
to write two pages without being called off,
However, l commence anew TO day, and if
am not detailed to go across the Chckahom-
my "Rebel hunting" will write at least a
sheet
Since We left Yorktown we have been liv-
ing quite an erratic iie-staying rarely more
than two days in one locshty-march,ng,
camping, and occasionally fighting, has been
the order of the day. We have now brought
up about eight miles from the rebel capitol,
and are in readiness to repel, nut think not
quite ready to make an attack.
"George," we have every reason to believe
understands his business, and will not act on
the offensive ill he has men and means at
his disposal to warrant a victory without
great loss OF life.
He is the "great dirt digger of the sge,
and is the rebels are not careful he will SHOW
ell them out Of Richmond, as he did out OF the
forts at Yorktown.
Our forces are now throwing bridges across
the ickshomany, and building corduroy
roads IN the swamps, the right wing at pres.
ent occupying the left bank OF the river.

Yesterday was friendly day on the out
posts. We did not fire on them nor they on
us, although we were quite near each other.
A little conversation passed, exchange of
papers, &c.
As we approach the rebel capital the face
of the country improves in beauty, more
hard wood and clear springs eff water, less
pine land and sandy bottom, bog and swamp
land.
Planters houses, with broad acres Of wav-
ing wheat around them, tell of the good
husbandry of the negro. Peach and apple
trees bend under the weight OF the half-grown
fruit.
