A Noteworthy Omission.

1t will be observed that in the address Of
the Locofoco members OF Congress, there
IL not one word OF condemnation for tho
rebels in arms against the Union. On the

an effort to make it appear that they had
cause for their revolt. They are spoken OF
as oppressed men, fighting to maintain their
rights-acting purely in self.defense. And
this address, reeking with falsehood, satur-
ated with treason, was published approving.
ly in tho Hancock Courier OF last week.
Last Sabbath the wall OF anguish was

son and brother gave his life for his cou ntry

Secession from Secession.

Gov. Rector of Arkansas hss is-
sued an address TO the people OF that
State, which Is a rather interesting
document as show ing the IN, v;table
goal at which Secession must arrive
when left TO itself. In the midst Of
a great deal OF coarse rhetoric. OF the
true Arkansas stamp, about 'subiu-
CATION by the Hessians of the NORTH, !"
domination by the 'detes!able and
execrable Lincoln Government" etc.
we find the following unlocked for
words:
ut was for liberty she struck, and
not for snbordination to any created
secondary power North or South.
Her best friends are her natural al.
lies. nearest at home, who will pull
safe when she bleeds, whose utmost
hope is not beyond her existence.
II the arteries of tho Confederate
heart do not permeate beyond the
east bank OF the Mississippi, let
Southern Missourians, Aikansians,
Texans, and ibe great West know it
and prepare for the future. Arkan,

she remain Arkansas a Confederate
State. desolated as wilderness, her
children fleeing from the wrath to

This is treason to the Southern
Confederacy, treason to jeff Davis,
treason to the South. 1t ie, in short,
treason 10 treason. 1t is just what
was predicted. at tho outset. would
be the end OF the career OF Seces'

mate course Of the movement. 1T

The headquarters OF the Mountain

The guerrilla psrties in this re.

by guerrillas between Moorefield
and Petersburg, and the whole par.

after the bushwhackers with a guard

New YORK, May l0.-News from
North Carolina states that Governor
Clark has refused TO furnish any
more troops to jeff. Davis, and has
recalled all the North Carolina sol
1lers now in tho rebel army. North
Carolina has held a convention of
its citizens and pronounced against
giving further aid to The rebellion,
thus virtually returning to the
Union.

Davis, for additional troops and
means of transportation for his ar.
my to and through the cotton States.
Gov. Clarke said that Davis had re.
ceived all the a;d from North Caro-.
lima that he could expect, and that
hereafter no more troops would be
permitted to leave the State, and
has ordered all the North Carolina
State troops home. Gov. Clark al.
80 informed the rebels that they
could use the railroads in retreating
homeward, and that they would run
their own risk Of being intercepted
bya Union force at any part OF the
State.

How the Soldiers Like II.

The following is an extract from
a letter of q commissioned officer in
the 49th Regiment, to q gentleman
Of his place:
1--WE are here peyiling our lives
and health, and enduring all kinds
Of privations for the suppression of
this wicked rebellion. and the resto.
ration OF the Union. Silence those
miserable cowardly traitors in your
own midst ] feel so indignant
when ] got hold OF a. Courier, o,
other papers OF the same character
(of which there are. many) that
have resolved TO do some fighting
when | get back, If | should be spared.
You should hear the boys curse when
they read their treason. 1t makes
no difference whether they were
Democrats or Republicans when at
home-they realize hero the damage
such men do the cause, for the papers
find their way into the South, and
the Southern people are encouraged
to fight on. hoping still for divided
North. You should suppress them
at once" .... .....
We wonder what the thoughts Of
the writer Of the above would have
been had he seen the Courier that
contained the address Of Vsllandig'

running to Richmond by way Of
New Bridge, yesterday, where he
found the enemy to be in force.
He drove their pickets into with
in two miles OF their main body, and
encamped for the night.
Everything indicates that the reb,
els intend to defend Richmond with
all the available force they can
bring forward. Congressman and
representatives from every Southern
State are there, encouraging their
troops by their presence and coun.
Gil, to a determined resistance to the
advance of the Union troops.
Richmond papers Of the 9th have
been received. They contsin a cor
respondence between the Virginia
Legislature and JEFF. Davis in rela
ton to the recent movements of the
rebel army. lie stated that he had
never entertained thought Of with
drawing the army from Vireinia,
and abandoning tn State; that il
in the course OF events, the Capital
should fall--the necessity OF which
he did not see or snticipate--that
would be no reason for withdrawing
the army from the State. The war
conld be carried on and maintained
on Virginia soil for twenty years.

ciety Solomon must have had in his

see rebel regiment on Sunday and
Monday, at the battle OF Shiloh, we
obtain the following items:
We have no doubt as to their cor.
rectness, as several dcserters and
refugees have arrived here to day,
and all report in substance the same.
He left Memphis Saturday May 10th
and was at Corinth for three weeks
etter the battle Of Shiloh. lie says
the rebel army was only 80 ,O00
strong when they made the attack
on our forces, and when they return
ed to their enirenchmcnts at and
around Corinth, they had but twen.
ty thousand effective men. They
have since been reinforced by Gen.

Gen. Lowell from New Orleans with
1000 more, ard have some few ad.
ditional rcin.orcoments - making
their forces at and about Corinth no,

not more than G0,000 effective

There were one hundred desertions
in one day. There are no troops al
any point except Fort Pillow, hav
ing all been cent to Corinth. The
force at Fort Pillow is about SOC
infantry and some 200 artillery.

BEFc RE CoRINrH, May 17.-The
skirmishing caused by the general
contraction of onr semicircuar on
the cnemy's pickets to day was
quito lively on the right and left.
Both wings were briskly engaged
although only with the skirmishers
thrown forward.
The loss in Sherman's division
was about 12 wounded; that in most
of the others engaged is supposed to
be about the same. The rebels de
volved an unexpected superiority OF
firearms. 1t had been supposed
that our Springfield and Enfeld ri
fles with Minnie ball were equal to
any weapon forss sshsip,shooters the
rebels could have, but they made
capital shots twelve hundred
yards where We couldn't touch them
at all.
On the right the troops are lying
within 800 yards of each other.
1t would seem that in moving,
the rebels must retire to give us q
brisk engagement.
Thomas headquarters are now in
a house, two days ago held by the
rebels in force.
Liberated prisoners concur in the
tatement that the rebel works are
formidable, but say also that for sew.
eral days they have been sending
large supplies Of commissary stores
down tho Mobile and Ohio railroad
They still however, report recruits
coming in, and incessant activity or
the railroads.
The Hancock Jeffersonian. [volume] (Findlay, Ohio) 1857-1870, 1862-05-23

BEFORE CoRISrn, May 10.-It is
impossible longer to resist the belief,
that We are to have protracied
siege. Our entire line is now ad-
vanced to within three miles of
Corinth. The enemy's ioriifica.
tions are understood to be about a
mile outside OF town. Their ont.
posts and pickets are of course be-
yond these.
Along nearly the whole distance
the enemy's picket line and onrs are
not more than 500 yards apart
For two or three days firing has been
constant during the day time, and
occasionally sharp at night. Our
whole position now lie entrenched.
Working parties are busy through
the whole day and part of the night,
throwing up breastw orks. Unless
the enemy attacks or evacuates, we
are thought pretty certain to advance
now only by regular approaches.
1t is now ascertained that there
are only very few weapons in the
hands Of rebel sharpshooters of long
er range than ours. These few keep
mp CALLING fire, and at first it was
naturally supposed that there must
be more general supply of them.
AS yet, our losses are quite tri.
fling, we have heard OF none killed,
except in yesterdays skirmish in
(Ohio) Sherman's front, and wounds
are mostly eight. The rebels have
thrown few shells into our camps
but as yet they don't seem much in
clined to their artillery.

If a Democratic paper sees tit to com

ton. the conduct of the war, or the inca
pacity of officials, it is regarded as rank
treason by the Republican press. But
such papers as the Cincinnati Commer.

the President as "simplc-mindcd," do
nounce Stanton as a "bigote6 and brag-

things about Hallcck. Mcclellan and

Republican papers think that none but
Republican papers spould be allowed free

kaow it to be a fact, that the bit.erest as
saults made upon the conduct Of tho war
are being made by Abolition writer's and
papers and yet they are not hurried off to
