States for whatever available force O
Militia they could command, to be for.
warded for the defence of the Capital
In day or two the telegraph brought
us the following, showing how gloriously
enthusiastic are the people in the cause
Of The country. The country now seems
little more than awakened, and there is
no doubt that hundreds Of thousands o.
men are still ready TO respond with alac
rity to the necessities Of the Government
The patriotism and the resources of the
North have been beyond the conception
of the most sanguine, and the facility
and alacrity with which her men rally
to the defence OF the old flag, are in won
derful contrast 10 the forced service, By

els.
The responses TO which we allude are
rs follows:

Of April 1851 is renewed. Regiments, battal
lions and companies are rapidly arriving from
various parts Of the State.
Newburyport sent ninety men, enlisted since

Slavery and Loyalty.

GR- Wherever, in the United States
there is community that has discarded
Slavery, there will be found unadulter.
ated, unqualified loyaity to the old flag
and TO the government. Western Vir.
GINA, Eastern Tennessee and Kentucky
various Sections Of Delaware, Maryland
Missouri and North Carolina, are ex.
amples of this. Wherever, on the con-
trary, Slavery is cherished, and rules
supreme, there is just as surely found
hatred and disloyaity to the govern
ment. Does il require any ar
gument, then, to prove that Slavery is
the dividing cause, the element of antag
onism and ofsrife We should think
not Then how Datural, how imperative,
it should appear to every man who de-
sires Union and harmony, to urge for
ward every measure calculated to root
out, to destroy the source Of our dscord.
The ca.se Of disease is what the physi-
eli n strives to reach and to remove and
the cause Of difficulty is what every man,
in his various physical operations, en-
deayors to overcome, and 10 destroy
Why not strike al the cause Of our diff
Guilty, and seek, as we may, to remove
that? Ii Slavery has been the cause Of
strife and division heretofore, and is now
the cause Of conflict and of bloodshed
what course SO natural, so proper, and so
necessary, as 10 remove it out Of the
way ? There are difficulties in the way
of this, perhaps, and the remedy may
have to be applied with care and crcum
specton but should not this object be
constantly aimed at y? 1t certainly seems
SO to us, and we know of nothing to
extenuate the course of those men, who,
acknowledging Slavery to be the cause
Of our trouble. re fuse to lend their
counteEance to measures calculated TO
do away with that cause.

Only $50 men out of 500 or 900 en-
gagged, escaped from the Front Roya-
fight. Forty of our soldiers, mostly sick,
were captured at Newton. One, named
David Dickerson, of the Goth Ohio, was
killed in the skirmish on Saturday. The
Maine and Vermont cavalry suffered Sc
verely. Co. A of the Vermont cavalry
were all lost, captured or killed, except
Capt. Plat, his Lieutenant and half a
dozen men, who made good their escape.
Major Collins is among the captured, and
Major Sawyer, whose horse fell under
him and injured his foot, made good his
escape with no further injury.
During the Sunday fight, which con-
tnued two hours, be fore the retreat from
Winchester, Donnelly's brigade behaved
admirably, and repulsed the enemy, but
being outflanked by superior numbers,
they were compelled to withdraw. Our
forces, Donnelly's brigade on the left and
Gordon's on the right, were in position
along gorge between two hills. The
enemy are said to have fought well. AT
one point they came up in a large hol-
low square, single file on the front and
back and double file on each side.
Marching up thus to within a certain
distance, they were ordered to halt, fix
bayonets and charge, which they did in
good order. Colonel Gordon and staff
are safe, also Gen. Williams and staff
While retroating through Winchester,
women from houses opened fire with pis-
tolls on our soldiers and killed grea,
many of them. Lieut.. Brown, Of the
28th New York, is said to have been kill
ed, and Col. Kinspe, of the 10th Penn,
woundt d and taken prisoner. Col. Muir
ply, of the 28th Pa, and many others
were killed. The column retreated in
good, order pursued by the enemy be-
yond Martinsburg. The baggage trains
proceeded as far as the Potomac, and
many Of the teams have been conveyed
across on ferry boats.
The operator at Martinsburg had left
tie town on the first rumor of battle at
Winchester, and taken the instruments
with him. The whole town seemed de-
serted. The stores were closed. Many
Union people came along with US, also
several negroes.
Gen Banks was in the rear Of the re-
treat, and shell exploded only four
feet from him, fortunately without injur-
ing him.
Winchester is reported 10 be burned.
The enemy had stationed force al
Berryville to prevent our retreating to-
wards Harper's Ferry. and we were com
PEELED to take the road to Martinsburg
The Baltimore Union of May 81 says :
Gen. Banks has already received rein
forcement of at least 10000 well disci
pined troops at Harper's Ferry.
Several car loads Of siege guns, each
weighing about 6 tons, have also been
sent up from the Washington Navy
Yard.
In one Of the trains for Harper's Fer
ry was the Assistant Secretary of War,
Watson, and General Hamilton and staff,
Of the regular army.

The Dubuque HERALD repeats the truth when
it rciterates that Mr.. Vandever is holding a
seat in Congress and a Coonelcy in the army
and that he is drawing aud will draw while he
is permitted, pay for both positions, with per.
quistes and steaings added. The Guardian
must take its readers to be fools. as they proba-
bly, are, when it tries to deceive them with the
belief that Mr.. Vandever has no personal obi ect
in retaining his seat in Congress, and that it
is all for pure love of country nothing more
nothing else that he holds on to the two offices
The people at large cannot be fooled into such
a belief, however they know Vandever toe
well for that.-HeraH.
GE- MAHoNY is one of the loudest-
moulhed men in the State in his de
mands for candor, and fair play, but GER
tainly no editor in the State is so thor
oushly unfair to his political opponents
as himself. MAH)NY will not pretend
that Col. VANDEvER has drawn a cent OF
Fay as Congressman, since the latter left
his seat in January, and yet he iteraes
and reiterates the lie that Col. VANDEvER
has and is drawing pay as Congressman
and as Colonel, and persistently holds
him up as swindler. Col. VANDEvER
has not, as we say, drawn any double
pay, and how dare MAHoNY charge him
with robbery on an assumption as to
what he will do in the future ? DENIM,
must be very hard pushed for cause of
complaint against Col. VANDEvER when
he draws upon his actions thus in ad
vance. Besides, DENNIS knows that
even if COL VANDEyER was inclined to
draw his pay as Congressman, he. by
law, forieits SO per day for every day he
is absent, which seems likely, in this
lengthy term, to exhaust his pay as a
member. AS TO Col. VANDE, ER's patriot
ism, we hope he has very little, guaged
by the MAHoNY standard.

Gen. Banks Retreat.

GE- The cause Of Gen. BANKS re.
treat from the valley of the Shenandoah
seems to have been through bad piece
of policy, in SO weakening his force as tc
leave him powerless against such strong
attacking column as was hurled agains,
him. Gen. MoCLELLAS's urgent appeal
for reinforcements prompted the Presi-
dent, even against the advice of Secre
tarv STANTON, to detach FRANKL1N's di.
vision of McDowELL.s army to York
town. To render Mcdowell able to
hold his position, Gen. BANK's division,
with the exception Of about 1000 men,
were transferred to his command. BANKS
had, therefore, no force to repel the at.
tack made against him, but was COMPEL
ed to fall back, which he did in an able
manner, saving his train, though closely
pursued, and fighting repeatedly.

Rebel Barbarity.

The mutilation Of bodies, the manufac
ture of drinking cups and articles o
various kinds, from the bones of North

of our wounded, and the inhuman treat
menl Of Union Prisoners, are parallelec
by no people on earth claiming TO BE-
civilized. Nothing further, certainly, car
be asked TO show that Slavery brut.

RE Because Of the following order,
issued by the President after General
BANKS defeat, with view TO the speedy
transmission Of troops for the defence of
the Capital, the Dubuque Herald dubs
Mr.. LINCOLN, /" King Abraham l." All
efforts taken by the Administration for
the suppression of the rebellion, are ex-
tremely "ungentlemanly and unchival-
ric," as we'll as unconstitutional" in
the eyes Of the Herald, JEFF. DAVIS, and
secessionists Of the various stripes, and
therefore it is hardly to be expected that
MAHoSY would relish the following;
Ordered, BY virtue of the authority vested
in him by an act of Congress, the President
takes military possession of all the rail roads in
the United States, from and after this date, un-
til further ordered, and directs that the respec-
tive Rail Road Companies, their officers and
servants, shall hold themselves in readiness for
the transportation of troops and munitions of
war, as may be ordered by the military author
tiles, TO the exclusion Of other business By
order of the Secretary of War.

Diseases of the Liver.

You may always know when your liver is
out OF order, or when you are what is called
bilious, by any of the following symptoms -
pain in the side and back, dizzineis, dull head
ache, bad taste in the mouth in the morning,
sallow colored complexion, yellowish tint in
the eyes, costiyeness, or diorrhoea Of Shiny dark
color, low spirit and dismal forebodngs. 1t is
acknowledged by all physicians and others
who have seen their action, that JUDSON'S
MOUNTAIN HERB PILLS are a perfect cnre
for all bilious affections. So pleasantly do
they search out and drive away the seed of
disease, that all personr living IN a country
whore Fever and Ague, and all other bilious
diseases are prevalent, will find they should
never be without them. From two to four Pills
each night on going to bed, will in n short time
drive sway the sickly yellow look of bilious
persons, and bning to their checks a beautiful
glow Of perfect health.
Judson's Mountain Herb Pills ACE sold by all
Dealers in Medicine.

less in, and blatant of his hatred Of the

came of Gen. BANKS repulSe, and the
prospect Of a rebel advance on the Capt.
tai Listen to his lucublaions in last
Wednesdays paper:
THE GOVERNMENT \ DIsPoTIsM
The President and Congress, servants of the
People, have become their masters, and Dss-
potism of the most odious intolerant, and in
supportable character, has been adopted at
Washington. Yes readers
and friends, our Glorious Government under
which we as ii people, grew great and prosper
Gus and became the envy and the admiration
OF the world, has been subyerted and destroy
ed, and in its place, Str0tccracy--a Military
Despotisln-has been established, without the
consent OF the People. Abraham Lincoln rules
not rs . President but as Il Stratocrat, his will
not the Constitution under which he was cleo
ted, being the law.
HE CHARGES THE ADMINISTRATION WITH TREASON.
We have charged the ruling powers, and we
charge them again, with having committed
treason against theircountry. We have charg
ed them, and we charge them again, with hay-
ing melted rebellion in one section of the coun-
try by panderng the fanatcism Of another sec
lion.

Yes, but the people will not do it. They could,

Self.Education.

Oboys, try to educate yourselves. Knowl-
edge in your head will never come amiss; it
may be better to you than money some day.
Perhaps a loving sister may nov whisper
good word in your ear, or in after days a
gentle wife may try to interest you in that
which will be for your good. Do not turn
away, for the word or smile Of love may save
yon.
Dear youths, especially you who are poor,
who are trying TO struggle up in the world,
you do not know howmany hearts sympathze
with you. There is not noble nature any
where that will not rejoice to see the aucceas
Of IL noble, self-made man. Boys as poor as
you, some OF whom had drunken fathers,
some of whom had widowed aothefs or lslp-
less sisters to claim their support. having
fulfilled these duties. or surmounting dis.
grace, have risen to competence and honor.
They have been professors in our colleges,
lawyers at our bar, ministers in our pulrits,
writer's of our books, nohle-heartcd mer-
chants in our warehouses. Why should not
you persevere through difficulties till you
reach like elevations
have spoken thus far Of one sort Of edu-
cation that Of the miad. THERE'S another
the education Of the heart, of the soul. With
ont this, the other will be comparatively
useless. Cultivate your mind, but educate
your heart also. Train it to kindly feelings,
Undue itSi'h true principles. Choose always
the right and net out always the right.
Bat more than all, seek to have your soul
educated. Here you must call in superior
help. The Bible must be your text book =
The Holy Spirit must be your teacher
Prayer must be tae habit CT Jour life. You
may know much; you may have benevolent
and tender feelings toward your fellow men;
but without love to God and character
such as he approves, You viii fail Of the high
end of your being. Oaly he VINO knows what
the Bible points out, who seeks the Spirits
power to make him new creature in Christ.
only he is fitted for the truest usefulness
here or fer happiness hereafter. Therefore,
my young friend, make dligent efjrts for
the education of mind and heart, whose bene-
G,s may be partially reaped on earth; bu''
most of all, seek the education of the soul,
tfat which will fit yo1 for heaven.
