GEN. POPE TAKES GORDONS-
OFF REBEL SUP
PLIES.

WASHINGTON, July 1s.-We feel at lib
erty to state that yesterday portion of the
army of Gen. Pope entered the important
town of Gordonsville, Va, unopposed, and
nearly destroyed all the railroad parapher-
MALTA at that point, the junction of the
Orange & Alexandria g. Virginia railroad.
Three fourths of the troops. munitions and
supplies of every description for the rebel
army at Richmond, of necessity passed
through Gordonsville by rail- The blow
is therefore most important one, more
especially as it is the first of series which
We trust will do more to cripple the effici-
ency Of their rebel Richmond army than
aught that has yet occurred.

A HINT.

. A contemporary observes that Major
Jack Downing once said to Gen. Jackson !:
"Gin'ral, l have always observed that
those persons who have great deal to say
of blood, are amazin' purtic'lar about the
first drop"
There are some of the same class of
people left in this country. They are
wonderful valiant in telling what should
be done to the rebels, favor the raising of
armies by thousands, plead earnestly for
others to enter the service Of the country,
but never offer THEIR OWN precious bodies?
You can,generally tell them by their noisy
habits, and clustering method of attack
ng better people than themselves. Poor
fellows, they don't know what laughing
stock they are for sthers.-Er.

TIE Effect of the Abolition

EuCCO vi tIc AOOtIGlOll
Measures Of Congress Upon the Ar7ny.
A Corinth correspondent of the New AL
bany Ledger says:
'sThe drift matters have taken in Con-
gress find distasteful to the officers and
men in the army. The general expression
is that Congress should have met and trans
acted the business that alone relates to the
successful prosecution of the war, and ig-
noring all questions that have heretofore
disturbed the relations between the North
and South until the Government had re-
stored its legitimate authority in the land,
crushed the rebellion, and punished the
instigators Of the vile plot The course
pursued by Congress is having the effect
to discourage the loyal and patriotic sol
dier, as it appears to be a departure from
the doctrines laid down by Mr.. Lincoln
when coming into power, and under which
they consented to enter the service. 1t
will be found, upon examination, that the
soldiers of the North west are here from
no mercenary motive, but upon principle
which they be 'ieve involves the perpetuity
of the only free government in the world,
and they can not be induced to look with
any degree of favor upon any mere section
al action of the National Legislature

No Paltyisln.

The telegraph states that the Republi-
can members of Congress met in caucus on
Saturday night and the spectators present
were requested to retire, which they did.
We hear no o5jecti from the Repub-
licans to this secret political organization.
It is patriotic for Republicans to meet in
secret conclave to discuss public affairs
but it is pronounced treason for Dem
ocrats to openly meet to consider the i'm
portant issue before the country. Repub-
licans, it appears, can adhere to their par
ty organization and be loyal, but the same
Judgment pronounces it disloyal in Dem
ocrats to stand by their party organization
and political principles.- Indianapolis

The angel land he'd tread!

Our Father sadly misses him,
His blue-eyed little one;
Our mother thinks with sigh and tear
Of the curly head that's gone.
We resign him to The Father,
For one more gem in his crown,
And now we can less sadly say,
Thy will, not ours be done.
