IMpORrANT TESTIMONY.

IMPORTANT TEsTlAONX.
L has often been said, and With .
degree of truth that no one will call in
question, that there are few men living
who better understand the condition Of
this government, and its general work
inQs. than Thurlow w eed, Of the Albany
evening Journal. His opinion in polit
ical matters is generally valuable.
In Az editorial article published in the
above named paper since the return Of
M. Weed from Europe, we find the fol.
lowing opinion touching the cause Of
our present difficulties:
"The chief architects Of rebellion,
before it broke out, avowed that they
we're aided in their internal designs by
the ultra abolitionists of the North.
This was too true, for without such aid
the South could never have been united
against the Union. But for the incen.
d sry recommendations which rendered
the otherwise useful Helper book fire.
brand, North Carolina could not have
been forced out Of the Union. And
even now, the ultra abolition press and
speech makers arc aggravating the hor-
rors they helped to create, and thus, by
playing into the hands Of the leaders Of
rebellion, aud rendering reunion d'ff'-
cult if not impossible"
There ia no mistaking the language.
1t is direct and to the point. 1t is just
what the Democracy of Iowa and OF
the country at large are charg
ing upon the ultra. Republican abo-
lition element. The Union would never
have been subjected to the awful scenes
and disasters of the present hour but
for tho hearty cooperation of abolition.
lists in the North and di-union FIRE eat
ers in the South. They worked, plan
ned and plotted together and behold the
result.
AT an abolition convention held in the
city of New York in ls59-only three
years ago-the following reasonable
sentiment was promulged:
"WHEREAs, The dissolution of the
present and imperfect and inglorious
Union between the free and slave States
would result in the overthrow Of slavery,
and the consequent formation of more
perfect and more glorious Union with
out the incubus Of slavery /; therefore,
"Resolved, That we invite free cor
respoudence with the disunionists Of
the South, IN order to devise the most
suitable way and means to secure the
consummation so devoutly TO be
wished"
The record is plain one; the facts
stand out too boldly for successful con-
tradiction. Mr.. Weed is correct in
his conclusions, and he can in no way
discharge his duty to his country SO
we'll as to join with the Democratic par.
ty in crushing out these enemies and
traitors.

THE RANKEsT TREAsoN.-"I declare
it upon my responsibility as Senator
Of the United States" said John p.
Hale month or two ago, "th~t the lib.
critics OF this country are IN greater dan
ger to-day from the corruptions and
from the profiigacy prscticcd in the va
rious departments of the Government
than they are from the open enemy in
the field"
Not an opportunity is allowed to es-
cape wherein these same departments
do not seek to reward political friends,
by enabling them to steal from the re-
sources Of the Government. Southern
rebels take an attitude that cannot be
mistaken, but those consummate scoun-
drels who, under the cloak OF patriotism
and strong desire to serve the country,
steal away the country's substance and
cripple it at every turn, arc the most in.
tolerable curses Of the present day. An
open enemy always commands degree
OF respect to which secret toe is never
entitled. But the President informs us
that it is all right; that the responsible
ity OF the cheating, swindling and steal
ing rests with him.

ST. LOUIS, April lS-A correspondence of the
Missouri Republican writing from Apache Glen,
New Mexico, between Santa Fe and Fort Union,
under date of March 30th, says:
Since wrote YOU. Col. Slough's column 300
strong, mas advanced to Hogan's Rancho, TWEEN
ty-fve miles north of Santa Fe. where they en-
cOuntered the enemy whose strength is not known
and Immediately engaged them.
Major Crittenden. lst Colorado regiment, and
two companies of United States infantry under
Capt. Lewis, sent across the main TO fall
upon their rear. Col. Slough, according 70 pro-
gramme, gave way gradually, which left the
supply train of the rebels unsupported, which Ma
jor Crittenden and Capt. Lewis easily captured
together with about fifty loaded wagons which
were burned. and twenty prisoners and one two
pound howizer taken from US at Fort Craig,
which was spiked by troops
Colonel Slough's command then fell back to
a strong position.
Our trophies are one hundred prisoners, prisates
and officers, fifty loaded wagons burned, one
piece of artillery of the enery spiked, from one
to two hundred killed and wounded, one Major,
two Captains, &c.
Our loss is about eighteen or twenty killed. in
GLIDING Lieutenant Baker of the Colorado volun-
teers, and thirty or forty wounded-three or four
officers were also wounded.
1t is supposed that the rebel General Sibley
will advance upon Colonel Slough's column with
his entire force from 1900 to 5000 strong, and
that Colonel Slough will fall back upon the
trenches at Depot Union.
At last accounts Colonel Candy had not left
Fort Craig.
With Colonel Slough's command it is believed
he can hold Fort Union against any force the
rebels can bring against it.
The whole command engaged on our side be
haved with signal gallantry and coolness-both
volunteers and regulars.
Postscript.-Ninety five prisoners with eleven
officers of the rebel army have just passed uDdel
escort and will arrive at Fort Union to night Of
early in the morning.
Colonel Sloughs entire command has fallen
back to Beucai Springs, forty -four miles from
Fort Union, and within supporting distance.
