All those who oppose confscation are rebels
they give aid and comfort to the enemy. We
know this, for we read it in every radical Repub-
lican newspaper. and read it in every printed
speech from that same political organization.
Under the law passed at this session. none of
these people who oppose confscation can ever
hold Office. We know this. for we read that in
depreciation every day in these radical newspa-
pers. Hon. JACOB CoLLAMER, Republican Sena-
tor from Vermont. is a rebel, as is prov ed by his
speech in the Senate. He said of the leaders:
These men have established de facfo govern
ment over that people. Ii man finds himself
in a de facto government which he cannot resist,
and has power to control, what the limits
and measures of his obligations? Ii requires
brave man 10 say that he will war upon il. be
cause he thinks il is usurpation. Ii would be a
bold man who should say now, 1.-The United States
made rebellion against England, and all the
present power you have, National and State, is
itself usurpation; | do not owe il any obedi
ence. and will not obey it," How idle it would
be for an individual, weak man, 10 talk in that
way.
Just so is il with the people in these States.
However loyal their feelings, Government de
faefo is over them: they not get away; they
have nowhere to co. they have nothing to go with.
What would you have man there to dor What
has this nation a right to demand of him? What
right have we to demand of these people loyalty
allegiance and obedience to this Government. and
To war on the Government de facto which is eS-
tablished over them. when we do not relieve them

do otherwise. Ii may suit the notions of equity
and right OF some, but TO my mind il looks
more like taking counsel from our resentments
than from our judgments.

Ii appears that General Butler has written to
Washington for specific instructions about runa-
way negroes coming to his camp. All the in
structions that are needed may be dictated by
ordinary common sense. and it is totally unnec-
essary to ask the President or Secretary of War
any questions on the subject. The simple course
to be pursued is to do nothing, and just to act as

bound to support them. is their support to fall

has nothing to do with them and ought not to

white men, women and children should come
to the lines of our army, is it the business of the
army to take charge of them, feed, clothe and
defend them, and provide them with Transports

on the face of it. Ii the army could not embar

quently it is as much as the army can do to feed
and take care ofitself. The course of General
Phelps IN inviting runaway negroes TO his camp
Is therefore clearly wrong, and deserves to be
more severely reprimanded than the proclamation
of General Hunter. The business of the army is
to fight and defeat the rebels in the field and let
the negro alone. Wren the insurgent armies are
whipped then the question of the disposal of the
negro may be in order; now it it is clearly out of
order, and is only calculated TO embarrass the
Government and the operations of the army
while it cannot be attended with the slightest
practical good etfect.-N Y Herald

Yesterday. during the excitement following the
first reports of the fight before Richmond. the
particular enemies Of Gen. Mcclellan betrayed
their bitterness very decidedly. Excited groups
collected at every corner. In front OF this oihee,
n very large crowd collected, anxious 90 ascer-
tain the news An excited controversy soon
sprung up. In an animated conversation between
Messrs. Milton ). Patrick and Il. 4. Hadduck,
the former expressed himself very freely and un-
reservedly against Mcclellan. Mr. hadduck re
joined warmly Mr. Patrick, as a clincher. then
declared that within a very short period, "Secre-
tvry Stanton had told Mr.. John II. Durham that
Mcclellan was the greatest traitor in the North,
and that all the material information obtained by
the rebels of Federal movements, was furnished
them by McClellan's family"
Mr.. Patrick is we'll known citizen of Chicago,
a man Of strong political prejudices il may be.
but still so far above suspicion that we dare not
question his word without further evidence de
asserted the fact without any equivocation or
reservation that Secretary Stanton had told Mr..
Durham that Mcclellan wa. traitor Mr.. Pat
rick is OF course only responsible for the story as
IL comes from or through Mr. Durham. Mr..
Durham is a responsible and highly respectable
merchant of this city, lately President OF bank,
and We do not believe that he would state that
Stanton had accused Mcclellan of treason unless
he was sure of the fact. Now, If Mr.. Durham
did not hear Mr.. Stanton say that Mcclellan was
a traitor let him say so. The charge has been
made publicly on the streets, and Mr. Dunbar
has been named as the party to whom the Secre-
tary unbosomed himself Ii the story is false,
justice to the Secretary of War well as to
Mcclellan requires that il should be promptly
branded as falsehood. If true. and the Secretary
OF War did that Mcclellan was traitor
then the Secretary of War is himself criminal
by allowing traitor 10 have the command OF the
army. Let the facts come out.-N. Y Herald.

rB The Instructions in the James river are
of such character as to render any CO opera
ton of the gunboats in an attack directly upon
Richmond out of the question. 1t is ascertainei
that there has been sunk above Fort Darling
thirty vessels in three lines rows some of them
of the largest size. though others are not larger
than canal boats The space between these three
lines of obstruction is filled with rocks and other
material. 1t is not to be supposed. however, that
the fleet is kept at City Point without purpose.
1t may yet play part in the movements to be
made across the james river.

The late news from Gen. McCLELLAs's army
is more favorable. The evacuation of White
House and the selection OF the new base of opera
tons on the James river. il appears premed-
tated and successfully accomplished, with but
little loss of Government property. Gen. Nc
CLELLsS claims in his latest dispatches, which
are cOroborated by army correspondence, that
he victorious over the enemy, aud that with
expected reinforcements the reduction of the re
bel capital could not long be delayed. We
greet 10 see disposition to decry the young com
mander upon the mere report of disaster 10 his
army. He has the entire confidence of General
Scorr. whom every American with pride re-
CARDS as the great Captain of the age, and our
best military men. The Administration. after
every opportunity to test his merits, committed
this most important military duty into his
hands. And we have no evidence yet that
he has failed. or that the movement he has made
will not hasten the object in view. We have
heard prominent Republicans question not only
his ability for the task he has undertaken, but
even his patriotism. IL we can not place conf
dence in the loyalty of the men who risk health,
life and reputation in behalf OF their country, we
certainly can not in the stay-at home patriots
whose main business is to crticise and find fault
with the acts Of those who are laborng to pre-
serve the integrity of the Government. If Gen.
MCCLELLAN has met with serious reverse. which
we do not believe, or if he has been compelled to
change his plans for want of necessary aid, wo
betide the men who have been willing to see him
sacrificed. An indignant people will visit those
thus guilty with the punishment they richly
merit. In the language of the correspondent OF
the New York Tribune, they ''are doomed
men"

That Independence they gained after seven
years war with powerful Government. The
reasons that impelled the men Of the Revolution
