ters THEY talk right out The Essex County Anti
Slavery Society held a meeting the 18th June,
and passed The follow ing resolutions:
Res0tced That Aboiitionists, devoted to the
great work of overthi owing slavery we renew and
repeat our old pledge, "No Union with Slavehold-
ers. No support Of amy Administration or Govern
ment that permits slavery amy portion of its
soil; aud We value this only as we believe it
must lead 20 emancipation by order OF the Federal
authorities, or TO dissolution of the Union. which
must speedily produce the SAME result
Resotce5, That the war As hitherto prosecuted is
but wanon waste of property, a dreadful sacrifice
OF life. and, what is worse than all. ut conscience
and character, to preserve and perpetuate Union
and Constitution which should never have existed
and W hch, by al. the laws of Justice and humanity
should, in their present form be al once and for.
ever overthrown.
These are the resolutions of men who dcnounce
Democrats As traitors. aud who get up nobs tar
and feather citizens who contend for the Constitu
ton it is and the Union it was and whose
only other otfence is that they denounce Abo
tonists enemies OF The country. Ii such resolu-
tOns resolutions, we meun, equally reasonably
had been passed in Democratic mectin. OF con.

By the Central train yesterday
we received the following letter,
and Shreveport papers Of the 18th
and 18th, from which we CLEAN the
following items of interest;
NAcoGDocHEs, May, 18th, 1862.
Mr.. ". II. CpsHING--Dear Sir !:
Knowing that the news must reach
you through very uncertain chan
pels, ] take for granted that you are
glad to obtain for the publicall such
information as may DO interesting
that comes from any quarter, and 1
therefore drop you o few lines to
give you what we have just receiv-
ed, which seems to'come more di-
rectly and is altogethermoro salts
factory than any which we have
lately had.
1 viii give it you MS wo get it,
and you can take il for what it is
worth. The Postmaster at Alexan-
dria writes to our p. M. that Capt.
Wise, who had Just reached there
from Norfolk (and who was engaged
in the battle OF which he speaks)
and who can be relied on implicitly,
says that battle was recently
fought on the Peninsnla; results,
5000 Of the enemy killed and 5000
taken prisoners, with comparatively
slight loss on our side.
That tho Morrimac (Yirginia)
was blown up to prevent her falling
iu>o the hands Of the encmv. That
Norfolk Was evacuated by our troops,
who fell back to Join the main body
Of Johuson's army.
He says that an engagement oc-
Cured between the left wing Of our
army, under Price, near Corinth,
and the enomy's right wing under
Buell-Price attacking, routing the
enemy, driyinglthem to the river,
and taking 800 prisoners, Loss on
neither side stated.
A general engagement was hour
ly expected to take place, bo.h at
Corinth and on the Peninsula.
The letter came through in two
days from Alexandria, and the wri-
ter is said TO be gentleman in ev-
cry way, worthy Of credit. Yours
respectfully, r., S, w.
