The Rebel Force Opposing McDowe1l' Is
Advance.

WASHINGTON, April 28
Several deserters who have lately come
within General McDowell's lines, report
the enemy ten thousand strong eight
miles south Of Fredericksburg. The
information is confirmed byseveral loyal
blacks.
A detachment of the 1st New Jersey
Cavalry last Friday brought into Gen
McDowell's camp ten rebels, belonging
20 the 9th Virginia Cavalry, which they
say is about to be changed into artillery.
They were captured twenty miles south
Of the Rappahannock.
All the church bells in Fredericks-
burg were sent South to be cast into
cannon, in accordance with Beauregards 8
order.
Private letters from General Hunter

John G. Breckinridge.

This conspirator, who had filled tn
second highest Office in the Government
aud turned traitor, or, rather, threw OF
the mask with which he tried to con
ceal his traitorous designs, was Gen
eral in the rebel army at the battle o
Pittsburg Landing. The Southern
papers are filed with fulsome rhapso
dies of his bravery. He was reported
badly wounded, which we presume i.
, not true.
! II ever a criminal on earth deserved
to be hung, it is John c. Breckinridg ge
For years he has been plotting with
Wise, and DAVIS, and Mason, and Sli.
dell, and the rest, to subvert the Consti
tuition to the purposes of an irresponsi.
Bile oligarchy. For this purpose they
used, as their instrument, a great party,
whose corrupt Northern leaders could
be bought, and their followers blinded
by passion and prejudice, to further
their nefarious schemes.
With Pierce and Buchanan as their
puppets, they had played the game un-
til success seemed just within their
grasp. Another four years of the Gov
ernment in their hands, and the people
would have been manacled past redemp-
ton.
The unexpected uprising of the peo-
pie at the Presidential election, showed
these men that their plan of using the
forms of the Constitution for its subver
ton were blasted Their Northern ac-
completes had failed to keep them in
power by rotes, but they believed they
would aid them to a more congenial,
because despotic power, by bullets
And in this belief they raised the
bloody standard Of treason against their
country.
And this man, Breckenridge, from
the seat of the Senator and the chair of
the Vice President, seizes the sword of
the traitor, and at the head of his fren-
zled partizans, aims, through the des-
olation of his country, and the butchery
OF his countrymen, to destroy the Con
stitution which he had SO often sworn
to support. The crimes Of the robber
the pirate, the common murderer, are
innocent pastimes in comparison with
the deeper-dyed villainy of such man!

Recovery of Stolen Goods.

At the commencement of the rebel
lion, or rather before the actual war be-
gan, the conspirators, through the
leading members of Buchanan's Admin.
lstration, stole from the Government all
the cannon they supposed they would
need in their reasonable project. Of
this stolen property the Union forces
have captured from the rebels, since the
first OF January, over sic hundred, beside
an innumerable number of small arms
The loss is very severely felt by the req
els. They have made military requisi-
ton for all :he bells on Southern planta-
tlons, and all old iron, to be cast into
cannon; while our supply has been in
creased almost without limits from our
founderies.

BALTIMORE q OHIO RAILROAD

Some week or two ago we wrote and
published an article, rejecting upon the
loyalty of the officers of this company.
Oar remarks were founded upon the
statements of papers, East and West,
which we believed to be true.
We have just been handed copy of
the "American and Commercial -ddyer-
tiser, of the 18th inst, published at
Baltimore, paper of undoubted loy-
atty, which fully explains the action of
the Company upon which the statements
referred to were predicated, and estab-
fishes, beyond the shadow of doubt.
that the Directors of the road are true
and loyal men-that they have been
doing all they could to aid the opera
tions of the Government, and enjoy the
entire confidence of every member of
the Cabinet at Washington.
We would gladly publish the whole
statement, with the conclusive evidence
furnished, but it is too lengthy for our
columns. But it gives US unfeigned
pleasure to announce, that the charge
of aisloyalty, so widely circulated and
generally believed, is wholly without
foundation, having originated in mis-
apprehension, and its circulation, slim
ulated by the selfish interests Of rival
roads.
We made the charges which have ap-
peared in our columns, with regret, in
the firm belief Of their truth. We now
take them all back, voluntarily, and
with great pleasure, fully satisfied of
their injustice.

Characteristic.

There is q class Of papers in the Free
States which seem to have formed
league With the orr iginal source of al
talsehood in which they have sunk hon
esty, character, self-respect, and even th,
appearance Of decency in the deliberat,
undertaking to lie down the Governmen
and its friends in their efforts to save the
Union and Constitution frora the blood7
hands of their murderous assailants.
! When our forces took possession oi
Roanoke Island and its surroundings,
the rebel shareholders ran away, leaving
r'ore than ten thousand slaves without
direction, and without the means of sup
port. These slaves came to cur camps
and offered their services in any manner
that our Government might choose to
employ them. But the present policy
Of the Government did not admit of arm
ing them, and to furnish them labor was
impractica BILE All that our command
ers could do, therefore, was to let the
slaves run at large, to get living as
they could, or to starve.
In this state of til ings the benevolent
people of New York, Philadelphia, Bos
ton, and other places, raised what funds
they could by charitable contributions;
and some fifty persons, male and female,
volunteered to go to this strange scene
of confusion, to instruct and guide the
abandoned slaves in such labors as would
secure them support. 1t would seem
that such an exhibition of disinterested
labor for the sake Of humanity alone,
ought to have secured the respect of ev-
cry human being. ...
Not only is the movement intended to
keep the slaves from starvation, but to
keep them from rising in the despera-
ton Of want upon the white population
beyond our lines. Nothing else could
possibly save the lives of the whites
IN South Carolina. For it is not to be
supposed that these thousands of ne |
,roes would starve to death without an |
effort to satisfy their hunger. But these !
went to them with the Cos |
pei Of peace, and have organized them |
nto bands of willing laborers; and they /
ire now quietly at work raising the /
means OF support, instead of devastating
he land and drenching it in blood! /
Yet these papers pursue these self-de-
'oted missionaries Of peace and indus
ry with malignity and torrent of false
'ood that would shame the spirits of
arknoss themselves.
The gloomiest picture in all our sad
respects, is the fact that these papers
aust have the support of large nun.
er of people in the Free States or they
ou.d not be sustained. And when par
san hate can so possess the minds Of
lelr readers as to induce them to sus-
lin such sheets, it needs but the oppor-
unity which prospect Of fsuccess would
resent, to rally them to the carnival of !
eason and N assaere in which their fol .
'''s In the South are engaged.
