Administration, venomouSly attacks the
calm, disniticd, truthful and patriotic ad-
dress Of the Democratic members Of Con

Of falSehoods. Nothing else was expected
from that vcnal sheet. The people under
stand and appreciate its deadly hostility
to the Democratic party. That party it
has per>iStently and habitually and ma
lignantly misrcpreSentcd and villitied and
cringcd to for years. Every false state
ment, every vile SANDER, every base in
situation against it, the Union searched
for with avidity and published with glec
Never has it had the fairness or honesty
to say a word in its favor. 1t takes fero-
cious JOY in slandering it. Fortunately
the Union has acquired, by long and
ceaseless efforts, an unenviablc reputation
for venality and mendacty and servility /;

WHY CONES IT HERE Now ?-CongrcSs
has been almost exclusively occupied,
since tie first day Of their meeting, in
discussing propositions for the benefit Of
the negroes. All other business, even
that Of the most pressing importance, has
been neglected. They have appropriated
vast sums OF money for negroes, while
the army of the West cannot get their
pay. Said Mr. VOORHEES,, of Indiana, in
Congress the other day, speaking of the
Abolitionism
why comes it bere NOW? Il never WAS a
friend to the Cnlrn, and IT is not suto-day. 1t
never wanted Union with slave States, "r Il
fellowship with shareholders, and does not now.
1t is at war with the Constitution it Is an Gu
envy To the Government; il is the twin monster

of the Union, born Of the Constitution, rise up
between them like bright angel and Danish

fight at prosperity and renown. Then will

FLORENCE, June l, 1862.

cinity to our old friend CruSon, We believe
to be correct:
FLORENCE, June /, 1862.
We arrived here on the Goth of May,
after a long and tedious journey. The
mines are as good as reported in Calilor-
MIA, but are not extensive. think they
do not exceed over two miles square,
We were. out four days prospecting and
sunk several holes, but did not raise more
than the color. But there are claims here
that pay from one to fifty ounces to the
hand, and sell as high as, five thousand
dollars for one fourth. But | think not
one man out of every hundred will make
EXPENSES by coming here, unless some
thing new is found.
The snow is not all off yet it is from
one TO three feet deep one mile from town,
but will soon bc gone. About 5000 poo.
pic are here and ihorc coming. Flour is
worth 80 Cts. per pound; bacon, beef and
pota toes the same; onions S., and every
thing else in proportion. Wages are from
six to ten dollars per day; work hard to
get. will stop here three or four weeks
longer, and if ! cannot find anything in
that time, will leave this God.forsaken
country. 1t is as cold here now as it was
any time last winter in California, and
rains every other day.
This is quite place. More persons are
here to day than ever saw in Placcrville
in one day, and as much gambling done.
My advice to all who think Of coming here
is to stay at home.
S. C. HENDERSON.
WHAT CoNGREss HAS DoNE.-Congress
has distinguished itself 1t has set itself
above the Constitution and ignored its ex-
istence. Mr.. Davis, of Kentucky, stated
on the floor of the Senate, with unusual
boldness, that "a great deal of the legis-
lation had been Of the most mischievouS
character. You have addressing the
Republicans-"paSsed measures at this
session which Ar GHcOnsSitutionni, and
iniquitous, and unwise, and which will be
resisted by the whole white population Of
Kentucky, and such as will counsel my
people to resist by every mode of resist
ancc they can devise" Davis is a Union
man, but evidently disgusted with his
Congressional associates. What do the
people think of party that passes, at
such time as this--at time requiring
prudence, moderation and patriotism
unconstitutional, and iniquitous, and
unwise measures"? Arc the representa-
tives of such party worthy ofconfidence?
Are they capable Of legislating for the
country at this critical period? Are they
not fanatical partisans and not enlighten-
ed statesmen? Such men John CONFESS
and his slavish followers desire to keep
in oftice-men who have trampled upon
the Constitution and violated their oaths.
How many Democrats will follow John
into the Republican camp? How many
Of them have sufficient manliness to spurn
his dictation? They will soon be forced
to show their hands and then the people
will see who arc dupes or knaves.

FRIGHTENED.-The Abolition Republi-
can Union Amalgamatng organs in this
State, are manifesfing exquisite uneasi-
ness at the prospect Of the Democracy
uniting. They don't seem to like it. No
wonder. Neither does convicted crimi.
nal like to see or hear of halter. II
makes them squirm. 1t sours their TEN.
per and blights 1hsir prospects. With
engaging childishness they denounce pc.
liticians and political parties while at the
same time they aspire to be one and or
ganize the other. Without brains, with
out character, without principle, stability
or ability, they rush rashIy into any or
ganization that promises to reward them
for their treachery. And these political
mendicants, driven from State to State
and party to party, have the impudence
to talk of their patriotism and devotion to
the Union! What baseness and hypoc-
risy!

Coop FOR ILLINOIS. Richardson,
the cherished friend Of Stephen A. Doug
las, declared at the second meeting Of the
conservative members Of Congress, that
he was satisfied that when the next Con.
gress assembled, the Abolition party
would not have enough members on the
floor to make roll.cail. Public senti-
ment in his gallant and patriotic State
had wonderfully changed within the last
six months, and thousands of conserva-
tive Republicans were joining the Demo
cratic party.

NoTIcEABLE.-The delegates from one
county to the late Abolition State Con-
vention were all Federal officials; and
from other counties large proportion
were Federal, State or county officials
Why did not the Union denounce them ?
1t used to denounce Democratic officials
for attending Conventions, but it has not
a word of censure for its Abolition official
brethren for doing the same thing-"only
little more So" Is this not sufficient to
show the Unions Abolition proclivities {?
What was exceedingly wrong in Demo
Gratis is eminently good in Abolitionists,
according to the Unions estimate.

That portion of the army of the Potomac

Gen. Porter's Division, two companies Of
the Sd Penn. Cavalry and portion Of
Berdan's Sharpshooters acting as skirmish-
ers.
Nothing Of interest took place until their
arrival at Big Bethel, twelve miles distant,
where they met the outer pickets of the
rebels. The troops were delayed here two
hours constructing bridge which had been
destroyed. The rebels retreated before the
advance of our skirmishers 10 Howard's
Creek, where they had somo abandoned
eauhworks. Shots were fred here by the
rebels from two field pieces, which were
soon silenced by the 4th Rhode Island bat
terry, when the rebels beat hasty retreat,
taking their pieces with them.
The main body Of the army rested here
for night, while Morrlps Brigade advanced
miles to Cuckleyillc, miles from York.
town.
BY 7 o'clock this Saturday. morning
the column was again in motion, and by
10 o'clock was in front of the enemy
works at Yorktown. The first shot was fred
by the rebels, the she'll passing over the
heads of Gen. Porter and staff, without ex-
ploding. The batteries of Griffin's lst and
Sd R. l. and 5th Mass. were placed in posi-
ton, replying TO every shot sent from the
rebels.
Tho caDnonading continued with but
slight interruption until dark; about 400
shots were fired by both parties during the
day. The loss on our side was three killed
and some five wounded. The position Of
the rebels is strong one. From present
indications their Notifications extend some
two miles in length and mount heavy guns
The ground in front of their guns is low
and swampy.
The latest news from Yorktown by tele
graph, April 8, is that everything is pro
crossing satisfactorily, and battle is MOI

hottest fire of the enemy. Jackson's force

The Great BaltIe.

Another great victory has been achieved by
the Union forces, near corinth. All tho details
of the battle that has been received up to the
time we go to press. will be found in another
column.
The 72nd Ohio Regiment was in the battle,
but we have received ne information as TO what
extent it suffered, other than that Lieut. Colonel
Canfeld, who commanded the Regiment, (Col
Buckland having command Of Brigade) was
mortally wounded, and has since died. Col.
Garfield was a very prominent citizen of Medi-
na county, n lawyer Of great worth, a citizen
very much esteemed, and his loss is a severe
one not only to his Regiment but to the State.
He has been in the Ohio Senate, and at the time
of his death was one ofthe Directors in the As.
ylum for Idiots. His body passed through Cal
ro on the 9th inst. for his home for interment.
Further information from the Regiment vii
be waited for with great anxiety.

On the 18th day of April, 1851, the reb
els opened FIRE on Fort Sumter, in Charles

leaders has greatly abated. The stride,
now making by the Federal army is graft
flying to Uniou men. aud crushing to tb,
rebels. Complste victory must crown ou
