talities Of the city and the honors we are al
ways ready to shower on all friendly and dis
tinguished strangers.
Treachery or the Tribune.
The chief organ of abolitionism in this city,
conducted by Greeley & Co., glories in the de-
feats of our arms, because, it contends, every
reverse helps emancipation. Hence it is that
it gloatcd with malicious satisfaction over the
repulse Of Hooker's division at williamsburg
Of Casey's division in the recent battle at Fair
Oaks, near Richmond. In both cases the Union
General, Mcclellan, has been assaled by the
Tribune, and the misfortune of war attributed
to his want Of Skill if not to treason. The OBJ
ject Of Greeley & Co. is to destroy the conf
dence of the army in their generals, that thus
tn ey may be overthrow, emancipation help
ed" and the dissolution of the Union finally
contaminated. Hence it was that when the
news Of the rebel chief Jackson having driven
Banks out of the valley of the Shenandoah
reached this city, Greeley exulted in the disas-
ter in the following language, for which see
editorial article in Tribune of Thursday last
We, who stand for emancipation, have clear
that we afford to wait Every march in the rebel
region showing our soldiers who are their friends and
who their enemies, makes some converts TO emancpa
tion Ecery defeat, ih its rebel treGcheyis and bcher
helps Il still mere.
1t is said that candid confession is good for
the soul. Now, here is frank confession on
the part Of the leading organ Of the negro abo-
lition conspirators, In and out Of Congress,
that rebel butcheries Of loyal troops are in
tended to help emancipation; in fact that
every defeat IL designed to help it. Hence
these conspirators plotted and contrived to
have the division Of General Banks so
weakened that it might be betrayed into the
hands of its enemies and butchered without
mercy, and this foul murder was done. The
white men of the North were caused to bite
the dust, and their wives and children made
widows and orphans, in order that the blacks
of the South should be let loose upon society.
And the loyal Union men in the valley of the
Shenandoah were left to be again maltreated
and slaughtered by the rampant rebels because
it "helps emancipation"
This was the motive of the "On to Rich
mond" cry, which resulted in drawing the
Union forces into a snare at Manassas, which
was followed by the disastrous rout Of Bull
run last July 1t was oil right thus to sacrifice
white men, because the treachery, butchery
and defeat helped along emancipation 1t was
with the same purpose that Mcclellan
was assailed during the last fall and
winter because he would not run his
head into the same trap. The design of the
bloody minded and treacherous abolitionists
was to have his army slaughtered. When he
insisted upon carrying out his own plans and
marched upon Richmond by different route
from that Of Manassas, the conspirators sue
ceeded by their intrigues in SO weakening his
force that it was in danger of being cut to
pieces on the peninsula, till he insisted on
having the troops of which he was so suddenly
deprived restored to him. When that plot
failed, then they resorted to the plan of having
the division Of Banks 50 reduced that the
rebels might annihilate IL, and regain possession
Of the Shenandoah valley. That the whole
force was not killed or captured seems almost
miracle and is owing to the extraordinary
GOODNESS and activity Of Banks. That his column
escaped is held by the fanatics to be misfor-
tune; for, according to the reasoning Of their
organ the more Union mon who are betrayed
butchered and defeated, the more emancipation
Is helped.
This is the reason why, in the editorial
columns and the correspondence Of the Tribune
for the last two days, touching the recent battle
on the Chickahominy, Turk profound regret
and disappointment that the disaster to the
division OF Gen. Casey did not become dis
aster to the whole army; for such terrible
defeat and butchery would "help emancipa-
ton still more" But for this satanic treachery
there il day Of reckoning and vengeance to
come.
