Hon. HENRY L. DAWES of the Berkshire
district has addressed letter to his constitu-
ents explaining his vote against the emanci-
patton and confscation bills. He states that
the bill for which he did vote was nearly, if
not entirely, identical with the one reported
by the select committee of the senate, and
adds cit may not be so rigorous as Mr..
Elliots bill, but with the known opinions of
the president and present supreme court,
felt that there was more certainty in obtaining
this much than there would be in going tarth-
er and encountering the obstacles which it is
known here lie in the way of that BILL" He
further assures his constituents that since the
first gun of Sumter he has had no pulsation
or desire except to see this war ended and its
authors hanging; and he had had no expecta-
ton that either would be possible, leaving one
stone upon another of the institution of
slavery

THERE is reason to believe that the report-
ed development of Union sentiment in the
North Carolina convention was premature. or
greatly exaggerated One explanation is that
the story was a pure forgery imposed upon
the credulity of the correspondents, for the
purpose of deceiving Gen. Burnside into some
ill-advised movement. 1t is certain that the
government has received no assurances of re-
turning loyalty from the people there, and all
letters from our volunteers in that state agree
that the citizens still manifest, whenever pos
sible, the same sullen and persistent hostility
as in the beginning. The mean and humili-
ating conduct Of Gov. Stanley has not sue
ceeded in winning back single rebel to his
duty, except for time long enough to kidnap
fugitive. There as elsewhere the disloyal
sentiment-which is the controlling senti-
ment, or Gen. Burnside would not be needed
there an hour-still abuses the mistaken gen-
tleness Of the government, rejecting the olive
branch as it has defcd the sword.

MONDAY. JUNE o. 1862


The rebellion is resolving itself into a Sc
ries of dissolying views at every point except
Richmond. Its strongholds which ''never
would surrender, whose defenders would
die first in 1.-THE last ditch" are coming into
our hands as fast as they can be conveniently
cared for. Wherever the rebels have made
the most boastful assurances of strength and
proves, they have almost invariably surren-
dered or run at the first approach of the mis-
sionaries we have sent to meet them by land,
or of our peace-persuading gunboats on the
great rivers The singular and unpleasant
fact connected with this remarkable success,
is that it is only by superior power that
the government makes progress in the
disloyal states, and that no extent of humilia-
ton and disaster has yet taught them in the
slightest degree the necessity of change of
purpose and newness of life. South of lati-
tude $3.50, except only in portion of Tennes-
see, there has not yet appeared the first prom
Use of loyal Union sentiment, upon which a
hope of their peaceful submission can rest
1t is said that in the mountain region of the
gulf states, where slavery has never flourish
ed, and the soil is cultivated by its owners, the
people all this time have been loyal and are
loyal to-day. But the evidence does not ap-
pear. The people who have always ruled
those states by a kind of prescriptive
right, who rule them more fercely than
ever during this hurricane of war, for
kind of insane respect, and to whom the
government itself seems to pay degree of
Difference to which they have no claim
they exhibit the same bitter and relentless
hatred of the government as in the beginning,
intensified by the increasing desperation of
their cause. This whole class are natural
enemies of republican institutions. They
have been educated in school whose whole
discipline and tendency is incompatible with
the large and intelligent freedom of such
government as ours. They may be subjects.
but after the terrible wrong they have
committed, the astounding perjuries they
have taken upon their lips and into their
hearts, it is impossible that they should be
friends again with the government they
would have destroyed. When the govern
ment has approached them with kindness, it
has invariably been repulsed with indignity.
Wherever it has proceeded against them, as
society proceeds against maefactors, with the
intention OF subdulIg u.e-.- tho securitv
Of the whole, it has conquered them and COM
manded the respect if not the gratitude of all
the nations of mankind. Treason is a crime
of such terrible magnitude, that for the sake
of the example the world has always consented
to the justice of short, swift. and terrible pun
ishments. Why should there be an exception
in favor of that slavcholding treason which is
to-day numbering brave and good men by
thousands, and causing thousands more to
waste away in the weary captivity of sickness
or of wounds?

PUNISHMENT OF A MUTINoUs CAPTAIN
On Tuesday last our regiment (Col Bakers
California; and all of the division not on du-
ty, witnessed a very interesting but very
solemn ceremony-that of disgracing cap
tain publicly. 1t appears at West Point, Va.
company l, of the 34th New York volunteers,
was color company, and the disgraced officer
captain. The colonel wanted to assign
the colors to another company, and at dress
parade the captain refused to parade his COM
pany, and even stacked arms and told the
men to refuse to take them. He was arrested
and tried by a court martial for mutiny, con-
victed, and would have been shot had not
General Mcclellan committed his sentence
The ceremony took place in a large field.
The regiments were formed in columns of
divisions; each column was close to the
next, that it made an unbroken front.
They were then formed into hollow square;
commanders of regiments, brigades and divi-
sions and staf1s were in the centre. The
prisoner was brought in under heavy guard,
and handcuffed. They marched to the center
of the square. The prisoners stepped two
PAGES to the front of the guard; the officer
commanding the guard then came forward and
told the prisoner to take off his hat. He then
read in loud voice the charges, specifica-
tions, and the sentence of the court martial,
which was :-''Ihat his sword be broken be-
fore his face, that he be publicly disgrace be-
fore the division, and serve one year in the
District of Columbia jail; and that it shall be
disgracetu for any soldier of the Potomac to
associate with him hereafter" After this was
read sergeant came forward and cut all the
brass buttons from his coat, and then took his
sword and broke it in half, saying as he did
so Il hereby declare it disgraceful for all
men of the army of the Potomac to associate
with this man hereafter" and then threw the
pieces on the ground The prisoner was
marched off under the same guard, and we
were marched back to our camp.

Gov SANKEY'S CoNDUcr.-The cores
pondent of the New York Evening Post at
Washington says there is hitch somewhere
IN the Stanley affair. The report that coun-
demanding order upon the subject was writ
ten by the secretary OF war, is correct; but it
Is argued that this order was merely an infor-
nal draft, and that the president has conclud-
ed to await official knowledge of the facts be-
tore deciding upon his action. In the mean
time the subject is being agitated in congress,
and there is no doubt that that body will. as
Mr. Sumner recommends, declare the ap-
polntment Of a military governor unconstitu-
uonal, if the infamous conduct of Gov. STAN
ley should compel them to pronounce an
OPINION. There is a firm determination in all
circles not to suffer policy to be continued
which so outrages humanity, and dispraces
the civilization Of the age.

spirited scrimmage occurred in Hunts
vile, Ala, few days since. between Col.
Lew. Harris, of one of the Ohio regiments,
and Col. Davis, law partner of Jere Glenn
ems, and formerly an earnest Union man. but
more recently an officer in the rebel army.
The meeting took place at the quarters of
Mayor MeCook. Some champagne was OPEN
ed and the discussion of the state of the coun-
Try presently grew warm. The Alabama col
ohel tOId the Ohio colonel he was liar, with
the customary qualifying epithet, and Ohio
told MN that II he werenot the guest of Major
McCook, he would knock him down. Alabama
begged Ohio not to have any scruples of that
Sort and repeated the epithet. So at it thew
went. Fair play was shown, and Ohio soon
made his word good, knocking Alabama down
and giving him a severe beating when he was
down. Omos damage consisted chiefly in
badly torn shirt. Alabama received a nair of
black eyes and enlarged nose and mouth.
Jere Clemens met the Ohio officer few DAYS

the particulars of the ARRAY and that his
partner (Dayis) had been served exactly

in front, and bringing his regiment for
ward advanced boldly to the edge of the
woods, upon reaching of which, and on en-
tering it, received their fire, without return
ing it and charging headlong upon the enemy
who had in very large force followed up the
gallant 32d regiment, when forced to retire
by such superior numbers. 1t was here OBJ

Tending must be carried and Col Pratt,
with a gallantry emitting him to great
praise, boldly pushed on and forced the enc

was one of the most desperately contested
battles of the war, alternating between defeat
and victory several times during the day-and
not till the 3lst New York regiment, Colonel
Pratt, had driven the enemy, who had follow
ed the sd New York so closely, who were
reluctantly compelled to retire, did the opera
tons of the day assure us the victory"
