AbOIitionists Cart Stand if.

The STAR is down on Abolitionists, and
in consequence, since The breaking out of
the war, we have got rid OF the niggardly
few Of that stripe who were patrons 10 our
paper II there are any more of that per-
suasionn we invite them 10 step forward,
while we have pen in hand, ready TO erase
their names. Those who discontinued, did
so upon the plea that we were 'sopposing
and embarrassing the Government ~ a
charge which every sane man, who has
ever read our paper, knows 10 be utterly
without foundation. The GoUernme,d itself
never needed any Embarrassing" at our
hands, but the Administration, Lincoln and
parry, needed, al certain times, much ':em-
barrassiBg," which they Gid not fail to get,
and that, too, without the fear of Fort War
rem looming up before our eyes.
We would ask our Abolition friends, did
either Dawes or Washburne, both members
of Congress, s'embarrass the government"
when they made speeches in The House,
showing the vast amount Of corruption and
enormous frauds practiced By this party in
power! Did Lincoln have them arrested,
and placed within the walls OF Fort Lafay-
ellie or Fort Warreni Were they denoun-
ced by The Republican Abolition party as
traitors! No, siri They were both Re-
publican members, had right to talk -
Had Democrat delivered either Dawes or
Washburne's speech on the corruptions of
this Administration, he would have been
expelled from the House; yea more, lock-
ed up in some dark and dreary old Fort
Under the pressure of these exposes, Con-
tractors were made to feel uneasy, Simon
Cameron 10 resign, and Fremont TO be re-
moved. All this was done in a short time,
looking as though the nest Of thieves who
were sapping the very LIES blood from this
nation, was to be broken up and destroyed.

did not continue more than day, when all
returned 10 their old practices again. Free

REPORTED AssAssIKArI TON OF Gov. ANDREW
JOHNSON AND GEN. BUTLER-We have re-
por from Richmond, Published in The Rich.
ulond Examiner of the 9Th, thai telegraphic
dispatch had b cen received from Augusta,
Ga, dated Jane 7th, stating that Governor
Andrew Johnson was killed in Nashville,
by man named George Brown, who, in
turn, had been killed The same dispatch
states that Gen. Butler had been killed in
New Orleans, but adds that The report lacks
confirmation.
We do not believe that either of these
repons deserves any credit. That in regard
10 Governor Johnson is certainly false. We
have direct telegraphic communication
with Nashville, and as late as yesterday,
we had news from Washington that Repre-.
sentative Maynard, of Tennessee, had re-
ceived telegram from Gov. Andy Johnson
on Thursday night TO the effect that the reb-
els were reported TO be retreaiing from
Cumberland Gap toward Chattanooga. AS
for Gen Butler, we think he s too wary 10

How TO carry no Party"

1.-THE Abolition Republicans desire to have
no party organization, during the period OF
the war. they can accomplish il very easily.
All they have 10 do is 10 abandon the Aho-
iiiion schemes pending in Congress and re-
peal those they have already passed. II
they will be honest. and confine the war TO
what ibey>professed overa year ago-to a
struggle for the Union and the Constitution
parry dissensions will cease II is they
who are reviving old party feeling and old
party issues. The Democracy are only act
ing on The defensive. II is moi they who

The Defeat Of the French Army-Arivai at
HaUaad from Charleston.
NEw YORK, June I3lh.-The steamship
British Queen, with Havana dates 10 The
7ih, and Nassau dates TO the 9th, arrived
this evening. Among the passengers is Mr..
Plumb, the bearer of the ratified postal con-
venlon and extradiiion treaty with Mexico
The news from Mexico is TO The lst inst,
and confirms the defeat of The French
troops by the Mexicans. Five hundred of
the former were killed, and 700 taken prs-
oners, but the latter were released, as The
viciors had not food for them. The Nexi-
cans were actively foritying the capital,
and the French will march against il when
endorsements arrive.
The statement current in Havana is that
the French designs are not so much against
Mexico as against the United States.
There is great disaffeclion among the
French officers, leading 10 appeals to Ma
poleon. The English minister had conclu
ded treaty with Doblado, and il is said
that CsbalIas, The agen, of General Prim,
had also concluded the ratification OF The
Almone treaty.
Zaragoza has force OF IA, 1000 men. and
Oriega was expected in Mexico with 5000
more, and recuTts were coming 10 from all
points.
Marquee was in Vera Cruz, and was
about imposing forced loan on the For
eign merchants, and it was supposed that
the English admiral would protest, though
some thought he would not, as it would
displease the French.

that there had been an outbreak of the SOL
diers al Laguayra, but il had died out.

THE editor Of the Aboltion circular u town

in some things not worth mentioning. He
is good at making sweeping and left hand
charges, but misersbly poor at substantial
ling them By facts, hence his neglect TO Try
We don't intend you 10 back out in that
kind of sty le, as you have done several
times heretofore, but we want you 10 toe
the mark, and if we have published treas
onable articles and practised disloyat,y, you
should have the honesty, which characters
ses every true journalist, TO clearly make it
appear. How do you expect to get ver-
dict if you don'I prove the facts in the case?
The people of Columbia are the Jurors, and
they most assuredly won't take your word
without backing it up with good substantial
proof "Traitor, liar, and blackguard-a fit
ting trinity to make up an editor of an Abo-
t,tion newspaper in The North" How well
the above sentence suits the occasion. Ii
