Shocking disregard of the Feelings Of on
Southern Brethren.

The Government has steadily persisted
in its original purpose of prosecuting the
contest upon the broadest possible grounds
of humanity and magnapimity. The ut
most Difference and respect have been
shown to the rights of persons and prop
erty. No. spy has been executed-no:
a deserter shot-nor hardly traitor hung
Rebel property has in every case been re:
spected, preserved and protected from pill
age by the Union troops. The rebel
wounded have been attended carefully and
skillfully by our surgeons and nurses
No distinction has oeen made between
them and our own soldiers, in the hospital
or on the field. And in every possible
way the Government has sought to fulfill
the pledge made to foreign powers by Mr..
Seward at the beginning of the var, that
this contest should present an instance of
magnanimity and forbearance without ex.
ample in the history of all civil vars.
In return for all this. sSe rebels have

WHAT TO Do WITH THzM.-A good
many worthy people are anxious in regard
to the future disposition of the liberated
slaves-those escaping and freed by the
present war-and are exercising their
minds as to the method best calculated to
be of service to our own race and the ne
gro also. What appears to us as very
good scheme is proposal made by the
Spanish Government 10 ours, short time
since, to the effect, that that Government
woald take all the negroes who escape from
thar masters and remove them to St.
Croix, or some of their possessions in the
tropics, free of charge. 1t then proposes
to put them under an apprenticeship of
three years, permitting them to receive
regular wages; and at the expiration of
their apprenticeship to free them uncon-
ditionally. The correspondence in refer
ence, or accompanying the proposition,
was referred by the State Department to
the House Judiciary.

A LEADER OF THE DEMocRAcY.-Val-
landigham, of Ohio, who, with thirteen
other members Of Congress, recently is
sued an address to the Democracy, is thus
shown up by Edgerton, Of the Sixth Dis
trict:
"My colleague, during the dark days
of the last session of the Thirty Sixth
Congress, when this House was filed with
traitors State after State had gone
out of the Union-my colleague, in my
presence, and in the presence of others,
said that the troops of Ohio, before they
should march through his District to CO.
cree the South, would have to march over
his dead body. True it is, that he denies
it; but in that his memory is at fault
There are others who heard it, who are
now members of this House"

A Front Roya! correspondent of the
Gloucester Advertiser says that a few
nights since as General Nc Dowell was ex.
amining the picket lines, he narrowly es-
capped being shot. When the guard de-
maDded the eoantersigR he merely re.
piled that he was Mcdowell, and insisted
on passing the lines, when the pickets
fired upon him. The shot passed by him
harmless, but struck one Of his aids,
wounding him in the leg and killing his
horse. No blame was attached to the
guard, and the General thanked hem for
doing their duty. They belonged to the
New York 26th.

The Democracy are cut up into three
factions. One, under the leadership Of
JEFF Davis, is making war upon the gov
ernment and nation. Another under the
leadership of Vallandigham, (Je6's right
hand man in Congress) is rendering aid
and comfort to Jeff's party, as it can con-
veniently under the guise of the " Demo
cratic Union" party. The third, under the
leadership of Dickinson, (slnce the death
of Douglas) is working and fighting for
The Union. 1t remains to be seen wha,
shape these different factions will take.

of it was an iteration of the sentiment
pronounced by Mr.. Lincoln at Springfield

opposing forces and it means that the Uni

become either slaveholding nation, or

FHH CELEBRATION YESTERDAY
500 PEOPLE PRESENT.


The Barbecue and Celebration of the
Fourth at this place was participated in by
goodly number of patriotic people, old
and young. A delegation was in attend
ance from Irving, and other parts of the
county and adjacent country was we'll rep
resented. Some FIVE hundred persons, it
was estimated, joined, either by their pres.
ence or more active efforts or both, in the
proceedings of that ever memorable An
adversary Day. the Fourth Of July.
The procession was formed and accord
ing to programme marched to the grove
near the Barb ecue grounds, where had
been prepared the stage for the speakers
and readers Of the day and seats for the la
dies. The exercises we're then commenced
by an address and the reading of the Dec
laration of Independence by DR.. j. H.
McDougall. An Grafton was then deliver
by Rev. C. F. Parker, of Irving. We
were not present at the commencement of
the address, but from what we did hear of
it we can say twas most excellent one.

age of the United States to be sufficient
to triumph over traitors, to crush out of
existence their foul rebellion. Allhough b
The loyal army is composed of yankees
and mudsills," it has the ability and un-
swerving determination to prosecute the
war successfully and regain for the nation
a lasting peace. Delivered in an easy and
natural manner, it was, throughout, an
earnest, effective, able and patriotic ad-
dress. w. W. Jerome, Esq, from Ir-
wing, was called on and replied in short
and spirited speech, after which the as

journing to the rostrum, toasts were next in
order, and several very worthy ones were

and we'll responded to by gentlemen pres.
ent. Volunteer toasts and speeches were
offered by G. F. Brooks and DR., G. J. Lee.

slightly-they danced all night, till nearly
the break Of day, and wenshome with the

THE wAlRsEws.


Our latest papers give an account Of a
desperate two days strugsle before Rich
mond, which commsnced Jane Goth. The
account says that over $4,000 men were
engaged. The loss on either side is Civ
en- with no certain accuracy. A cores
pondent Of the New York Times In max.
ing an estimate of the Federal loss in the
first days fight, says: 1.-THE list Of over
200 hundred names of those killed and
wounded, which I have, will show that
the estimate Of 200 as the cum of the loss,
is wide of the mark. Our loss is, indeed,
slight, considering the amount Of fighting
done during the day, and tho result ac-
complished. But it cannot fall below 500,
and may be found nearer thousand 1
should estimate it at six or seven hundred" !"
Below are the telgraphic details:
From Tribune extra, New York June
ga company of Bucktails was sur
rounded and captured. Retreat Of our
right wing. Over $4,000 men engaged.
All civilians ordered away from the
White House, which was afterwards burn
ed.
A most determined battle was fought on
the right wing, Thursday and Friday,
which is claimed by some of our officers as
. successful strategic movement, into
which the enemy had unwillingly been
drawn, and which will soon result in the
capture Of Richmond and the entire rebel
army.
The attack was made by the enemy in
immense force, who crossed the Chicka-
hominy near the railroa6above Mechanics

desperately, but were unable to drive our

ed us ten to one. The only forces engag
ed that day was Gen. McCall's DIVISION
The battle lasted from two till nine, P. NJ,
when the divlsion.was ordered back.
Gen. Mcclellan was on the field and ex-
pressed himself satisfied with the result.
Annother correspondent says of Fri
days battle twice all along. the front did
the rebels attack our lines, our rife pits,
and redoubts. Porter, with fifty cannon,
and Summers Hooker's and Ayres,s guns
mowsdlthem down with death harvest.
Their loss in killed and. wounded was
horrible.
At Asnight ten guns were taken from US by
sudden flank attack, covered by tie thick
smoke which hung around.
Cosatde Paris captured rebel Major,
who belonged to. Jackson's army. He
said he had been in the Valley of the
Shenandoah all winter, and came here yes
terday with part Of Jackson's army. The
rest of it arrived this morning, and the
whole of it was here.
Thomas Meagher's- Irishmen came over
the hill stripped to the bare arms, and
were ordered to 60 in~ They gave yell
and went to work, and the result was, the
enemy fell back to the woods. Thus mat
ters stood up to II o'clock yesterday (Sat-
urday) morning.
Major Russell, Of the regulars, kins-
man Of Gen. Mcclellan, is killed. Col.
Pratt, of New York regiment. is also
killed, and Lieut.. Coils. Black and Switzer.
Our loss in officers is very marked in
deed. The disproportion in numbers was
so extraordinary, and the obstinacy of our
troops SO unyielding, that our losses we're
inevitably large.
The artillery in both Porter's and
Smiths divisions piled the rebels in heaps.
The fire vas terribly effective.

MILIxAA1 CRiTrcIsAs.-Under this
heat, the Missouri Democrat says:
The campaigns of Napoleo. have been
critisised by many military men by his
own Marshals and Generals, and By thos.
who served against him. Over and over
again, it has been demonstrated that if-
why must that i be alwaps in the wayi-
that n he had done thus, or SO, he would
have escaped the humiliation Of Elba, and
certainly the indignity of exile at St. Hell
ena. Criticisms and opinions We have
had on the campaigns Of the great Captain,
enough, quite. Let rs bow to them with
all Difference, we who "never seta squad
ron in the field, nor the division Of bat
tie know, more than spinster." But the
criticisms which We daily see upon the
conduct Of the campaign in Virginia, COM
ing from veterans of the quill, put US still
more in reverential mood. The President
or his Secretary of War, which is the
sane thing-has done nothing but blum
der; blundered in meddling with. Nc
Clellan, blundered in the route to Rich
mond by the Yorktown peninsula; blum
dered in placing so many troops for the
defense Of Washington; in not withdrav-
ing more from the Shenandoah valley; in
leaving Mcdowell at Fredricksburs;
blundered in al! things done, in all thiass
not done. He should have had q larger
force in the Virginia valley; be should.
have Withdrawn more for the advance
on Richmond. Mcclellan should have
had twice the force he has; Banks ought
to have been strengthened so as to hold
Stonewall Jackson in check, and &C.
operate effectively by an advance
Washington, the capital, should have
been protected by an adequate force En-
the Rappahannock; yet all the troops
in the various commands should have been
put in McClellan's column for the advance
on Richmond.
We are patient in reading or listening
to all these miscellaneous and coptradicto-
ry cavils. Why should anybody be other
wise. Whas has been will be hereafter.
Men will talk with the assumption Of
