The Southern Traitors and their North
ern Sympathizers.


From the course pursued by the Vallan-
digham papers and politicians, it is evident
that the same system OF debauched lying
which placed that living monument of in
fanny, James Buchanan, in the Presidential
chair, is again to be followed by those who
are endeavorIng to lead the masses of the
democratic party into favoring the destruc-
tlon of our nationality and the disruption
of this Union. Losing sight of the his
torical fact that this war was commenced
by South Carolina, with the connivance OF
James Buchanan-a State which never had
lost dozen slaYes through abolitionists-
many well-meaGing men take the danger
Gus ground that the Southern traitors are
no worse than the Northern abolitionists,
and throw the blame Oh the latter as the
authors Of the war. In this they are un-
Willingly following the traitors, for it is a
TACT that no matter whether our soldiers
are from the east, west, north, CIR south, tue
s-e6eLS cali them all a6oltttonists! OUGHT
not this fact afford food for reflection to
those who are misled by this villainous cry.
Ihe great body OF men in the North hold
lng abolition sentiments, are leading exem-
piary lives and imbued with virtues that
would put to shame many a professing
Christian man in this State who speaks of
them as no better than traitors. AS an
instance of their doings, we cite the fact
and it is not an unusual one-that some
600 liberated slaves in the District of Co.
lumbia were few weeks ago each furnish
ed with two complete suits of clothing and
many agricultural and other implements
before emigrating to Hayti. No display
OF names was made, no ostentatious speech.
es, no published list in all the paper. of
the land. To confound men thus carving
out the precepts of our religion with that
small portion of fanatics who enticed awav
the slave or followed John Brown in his
mad undertaking, is as unchristian as it is
ungenerous. The day is evidently not dis

ty to be called by the precise word which
the rebels use to designate our brave SOL
diers, whether that word be Vandal, Hes
sian, or Abolitionist.
1t seems to US that when man finds
himself using the slang of the blackguard,
he ought to catechise himself whether ne
has not been in bad company; and when a
man protesting to love his country and its
institutions finds himself using the argu-
ments of rebels and traitors against the
party opposing them to man, whether he
ought not to scrutinize his conduct and
see whether he is not giving indirect aid
and comfort to them However political
knavery may have been iustifable in
years gone by, there car be no palliation
for the falsehood now. Our country every
thing is now at stake, and he who is not
for it, first, last and all the time, is against

rA.The arrest last week of G. c. Full
ton, Esq, Of the Baltimore American, on
the nonsensical plea that he had obtained
information of the recent events before
Richmond at Washington, was at best an
outrage on the part of Secretary Stanton.
To arrest a man who has stood by the In
ion in the worst of times in that city,
while hundreds of open seeessionists, as
we'll as late rebel officers and soldiers, are
spreading their pestilential opinions on the

Important Correspondence Between the
Governors of the Loyal States

WASHINGTON, July l.
The following correspondence between the
President and the Governors of several States
will explain itself:
To THE PREsIDENT-The undersigned, Gov
ernors of States of the Union, impressed with
the belief that the citizens of the States
which they respectively represent are OF one
accord in the hearty desire that the recent
successes of the Federal arms may be follow.
ed up By measures which must insure speedy
restoration of the Union, aud believing that
in view Of the present important military
movements now in progress, and the reduced
condition of our effective forces in the field
resulting from the usual and unavoidable
casualties of the service, that the time has
arrived for prompt and vigorous measures to
| be adopted by the people in support of the
great interests committed to their charge, we
respectfully request, if it meet with your en-
tire approval, that you at once call upon the
several States for such number of men as
may be required TO fill up the military organ
izations now in the field, and add to the ar
mics heretofore organized such additional
number OF men as may, IN your judgement,
be necessary to garrison and hold all the num-
and military roSiti1OS that have
been captured by our armies, and to speedily
crush the rebellion that still exists in several
of the Southern Stat. :, thus practically re-
storing to the civilized world our great and
good government. We believe that the deci-
siye movement is near at hand, and to that
end the people of the United States are de-
sirous to aid promptly in furnishing all the
reinforcements you may deem needful to sus
tain our Government.

THE BATTLE on TUESDAY,

The fight was renewed early on Tuesday

ed to crush our army. 1t lasted about three
hours, resulting in considerable loss On both
sides The enemy then retired, leaving the
field to our troops. They again adyanced
about three o'clock P. NJ, in considerable
force, but retired after being shelled by the
gunboats and artillery for about two hours,
without coming near enough for the use of
musketry.
The loss of opr army during these seven
