GE' The rebel Congress at Richmond,
has gone into a rage over the Presidents
recent proclamation. Much Of their talk
is in the same vein Of their sympathizers
in the free States. They threaten hugely,
and resolutions have been introduced to
raise the black flag whenever they go into
battle hereafter; and any officers Of the
national army who may fall into their hands
are to be hung. &c. &c. We look upon
this as good sign. 1t not only shows their
desperation, but also shows that the Presi-
dent has hit them in the tender spoi,-the
very spot which should always be aimed at
in contending with an enemy. The howl
raised by the pro-slavery sympahizers at
the North, shows the same and, therefore,
it may be set down as settled fact, thai the
President has struck the vital spot of the
rebellion.

A touching scene is related as having
transpired ia Philadelphia hospital re-
Gently. Some benevolent ladies had dis
trbuted ice cream to the invalid soldiers,
and all gladly partook Of the refreshment
save one young, pale, handsome boy. His
eyes were closed, aud one OF the ladies OBJ
serving him softly whispered, The poor
little fellow is asleep, we must not disturb
him." No, maam, am not asleep" he
answered, in silvery voice, full Of the
sweetness OF innocence and boyhood. We'll,
my little fellow continued the lady, as she
drew nearer, are you fond of ice cream 7"
/" Very much so" he replied. Didn't
you see me place this on your little table r
reaching for the plate Of cream. On.
yes" he answered, TREMENDOUSLY, but l
shut my eyes and cried to myself" " Cried,
my child why, what made you cry, my
dear?" "Oh, madame if you viii pull
the quilt down little you will see" The
lady did so, and found that he had no arms.
Both of them he had lost in battle.

election as speaker, and Hon. John G

Egy The Port Royal Ne,0 South halls the
presidents proclamation with great enthu-
siasm. 1t says, 80 Now glory TO the Lord
of Hosts, from whom all glories are We
cannot, if we would, repress our exultation
at one of the grandest victories of this, or
any other time" This is important, as
coming from our experienced army in South
Carolina. The border states are beginning
to respond favorably. The Missouri Dem
ocrat favors it heartily, and in North Caro-
lima, in that part where federal authority
reigns, the Wilmington Journal says it is
well received. The same is true in Western
Virginia. One old Virginia farmer said
:" the government had put its heel on the
sore spot of the rebellion at last" A SOL
der in the Vermont 9th writes, that at a
large ratification meeting in Chicago, it was
heartily endorsed, and it was remarkable
that all the speakers but two were old line
democrats.

the honorable course pursued by him, we

sion Of feeling upon the occasion Of such re-

TAX STAMPs.-The internal tax law.
which went into operation on the LIST instant,
requires that stamp be placed upon all
checks, drafts, deeds and other documents Z;
but the Government has not been able to
provide sufficient quantity of these stamps
in time, and therefore they cannot be had
as yet, in the ordinary way of purchase,
anywhere. there is a penalty of fifty dol
lars for neglect 10 use them, but Commits
sioner Boutwell, has notified the public that

NlnsSncLlllSctts.

Politics in Massachusetts this year, will
be unusually mixed. Coy. Andrews for
governor, and Senator Sumner, have both
teen put forward for reelection. General
Deveraux was also put forward for governor
by a Peoples Convention at Boston on
Tuesday, and it is understood that the DEM
osratic Convention of Wednesday win put
up the same ticket The Peoples Conven-
ton also put in nomination portion of the
Union Republican State ticket, aud from
now till the day Of election they will have
lively time. We need not say that we
deeply regret this state Of things. This
political division at the North at this time,
forebodes great danger to the true interests
Of the country. Indeed, we have more
to fear from the political disunion Of the
loyal States, than Of the rebel armies. In
Massachusetts, all the old parties are broken
up, and you will find Republicans, Demo-
Gratis, and Bell-Everetts in each of the
movements, working with all the ardor Of
former political campaigns. Each claims to
outstrip the other in support of the Admin
istration, and the Peoples movement would
be likely to receive more sympathy but for
the fact that its handspring seems TO be
the old " sentiment responsibility" of Boston,
whose tenderness towards rebels and sla-
very in particular has become chronic, and
so far as they are concerned, this Peoples
movement is their annual spasm in behalf
of their misguided brethren of The South"
They are the men who think the wheels of
Government can't move right, unless they
have a hand in linen who, time and
again, have been rejected by the people of
that State. In short, ii is the Boston, Bea-
con street aristoracy.
This, however, is not true oGrhem all.
We recognize some good men in the move
ment, and should they 81 cceed in the cleo
ton, it is difficult to see what course Of pol
icy they could pursue different from their
predecessors. They avoid any expression
upon the Presidents Proclamation of free
dom, which of course is to be interpreted
that they are opposed to it, and that will
operate against them. Joel Parker, one
OF the chiefs in this movement, says they
support the President, but not his proclama-
ton or acts, which is very much like the
man who said he was in favor Of the Maine
Liquor Law, but opposed to its enforcement
We are free to say that a peoples move
ment ought to succeed, and that all political
parties should be set aside, and while we do
not intend TO NEEDLE with the political af-
fairs of any other state, we may safely say
that good example has been set here in
Vermont, and we regret that it has not been
more generally followed in other states. 1t
is no time for party contests, and we owe ii
to the army in the field, to Danish all political
divisions at home.

position in relation TO the proclamation, and
he proposed to tender congratulations to The
President, and TO express The hope that as
he had spoken The great rord- he would fol-
low il by striking he grea, bto,c; and to
assure him that they, backed by their re-
spective states, were ready, willing, and
anxious to help him. No man was more
prompt to second Gov, Tod's proposition
than the noble hearted pierpolnt, Of Vir-
ginia. He and his people had talked the
matter over, and knew IL must come to this

To Major General Halleck:
Yesterday the rebels under Price, Van

attack on Corinth with great slaughter.
The enemy are in full retreat, leaving
their dead and wounded on the field.
Rosencrans telegraphs that the loss is Sc
rious on our side, particularly in officers,
but bears no comparison with the loss OF
the enemy. Gen. Iiackleman fell while
gallanily leading his bris ade. Gen. 0 .les-
by was dangerously wounded.
Gen. Mcpherson, with his command,
reached Corinth yesterday.
Gen. Rosencrans pursued the retreatine
enemy this morning. and should they at
tempt TO move towards Bolivar will follow
to that place.
Gen. IIurlburt is at the I!atchie river
with FIVE or six thousand men, and is no
doubt with the pursuing column.
From 700 to 1000 prisoners, besides the
wounded, are left in our hands.
