COSrRABAND TRADE--lNPoRTANT AR
RESTS. AT three o'clock yesterday after.
noon the Ar. ests of four men, charged
with having been engaged in contraband
trade with tina rebels from this port, was
completed tr United States Marshal Muir
ray and before night all of them were under
guard at Fort Lafayette. Some goods
prepared for shipment were seized, and
more than seventy letters, many of them
from well known men, who are implicated
in the alleged crimes of the prisoners.
The fact, concerning these arrests,
which are very important in their conse-
quences, are not yet made public by the
authorities concerned, but there have
been disclosures from various sources. -
1t appears that one of the mes arrested
was Ease patentee and manufactures,
namely, Mr.. Gomez; the three others
we're named Mckee, Crocert and Oliver
two of whom were commission merchants
and the other captain Of n vessei. 1t is
charged that the well knowI4 uses, which
bear the name OF he manufacturer, have
been furnished to the rebels. Their use
would of course be mainly to the explo
sion Of mines aud torpeGoes.
The commission merchants, il Is alleged
were engaged in extensive operations
some Of which we're prospective, for the
benefit Of the rebel authorities. The cap
tain was to do his part in Transporting 9
some of the goods. But the special i'm
portance of the ar, estS lies in the fact
that a regularly prepared scheme of trade
with the south lies uncovered.
1t appears that for few months past
the contrabsnd trade with the rebels has
much increased, and that many men who
enjoy fair regulations have been engaged
in it. The methods employed 10y Marshal
Murray 10 detect these people are under
stood to include system quite as perfect
as that by which he broke up and do
stroyed the slave trade. Confidential a
gents were instructed 10 represent them
selves as "Copperheads' and secession
lists, aud 10 engage in trade with the sus
pected men.
In no other way could the required
proof have been obtained. The letter.
captured are from rebels and from mer
in the North. Some of the letters hay,
already run the blockade, while other
were intended for Southern destinations
They inaplicate persons against VII ON ther,
has hitherto been no suspicion, and VIII,
can easily be found when wanted.
II is understood that all the facts re
quired in stopping the trade are now il
the hands Of the authorities. Many arrest
here and elsewhere are yet 10 be made.

Herschel v. johnson on the War.

Herschel V. johnson, the Douglas can
didate for Vice President In 1860, and
now member Of the Confederate Senate,
concluded late speech with words which
might we'll be addressed to Nortbern
audience. THE virtues Of our forefath-
ers" are as much forgotten by us as by
the people whom he sdmonished and
nothing is now 30 imperatively needed as
that We should return with humility to
the practice OF those great virtues which
our fathers cherished"
when is this struggle to end! Shall
we conquer the Northl No; we nave no
desire to do this Shall the North conquer
us? Forbid it, Heaven But tell you
that this war will never be ended till we
are all conquered by the chastising hand
of Providence, and we are brought back
to the virtues Of our forefathers. Though
our armies have been victorious in nearly
every battle, yet almost every man and
woman is bathed in tears and cast down
with sorrow at the loss of some friend or
kinsman most dear. Every hearthstone
is reft Of its enjoyments by mourning and
weeping, and the walls of sadness are
heard all over the land. This is the ehas
tisement of God. inflicted upon us for
departure from the paths OF virtue. This
is the lesson Of the hour. Then let US
return with humility TO the practice of
those great virtues which our fathers
cherished, and without which our liberties
cannot be maintained"

i" War Democrats -

Much empty praise is bestowed upon
what are called War Democrats" by the
Abolitionists. These "War Democrats"
are wondrous fine fellows, in their estima-
ton, because they help to retain power in
the hands of those men who are doing
their best to destroy the country. But
let one of those "War Democrats" COME
up for Office, and see how no fares. The
recent election in Iowa affords brilliant
example. Tuttle, the Democratic candid
ate for Governor Is o Colonel, and in ac.
tive service-a War Democrat" in every
sense Of the word-yet he was beaten by
more than 20,000-the vote of the army
being quite as large against him proper
tionately, as il was against Vallandigham
in the State OF Ohio.
Thus we see that his War" Democracy
was OF no benefit to Col. Tuttle. He
will do we'll enough to fght-like all
Corperheads" but if be wants political
promotion he is given to understand that
the Jacobiu powers that be-will first re-
quire Of him an unconditional endorse
ment Of their entire policy,-past, present.
and what 10 to come -confiscstion, eman-
cipation and State anpihilstion,

THE WAR NEWS.

1t is difficult TO get AT a correct under
standing Of the situation of military affairs
within the limits Of the command of the
Army OF the Potomac. The Orange Il Al
exandria Railroad so effectually destroyed
by the rebels in their recent advance, is
nearly repaired, and our forces are again
moving towards the Rsppahannock. Ere
quent ,kirRishes take place, but Of no
serious importance and rebel guerilas
are as numerous and bold as ever, and one
day las, week captured train G 80 odd
six-mule teams-ths rebels having permit
ted the guard TO pass, when they pounced
upon the drivers and forced them TO
change their course TO the relel camp.
Advices from the army Of the Cumber
land arc somewhat contradictory. Our
forces still occupy Chattanooga, subsistisg
upon halt ratioLs, depending upon sup
plies from Nashville, $50 miles, by wagons.
This long line is much exposed to gueril-
Ia attacks. The rebels occupy Lookout
Mountain, which commands Chattanooga.
On the night Of the 2Sth ult.. they attack
ed Gen Gerry's division, which ended iu
the rebels being driven from their breast
works across Lookout creek.
We have advices from in front of Charles
TO the 9th ult. The bombardment Of
Forts Sumter, Moultrieand Johnston and
also upon Charleston, had recommended,
alter a cessation of many weeks
Hes- One day last week we were surpris-
ed to see team Of horses coming down
the hill from the direction of Bradford, at
full speed, endangering the lives of the
occupants at fearful rate. On being re-
monstrated with he exclaimed in stento-
rian tones loud enough TO be heard above
the roar of Niagra, Well, you see l get
the Republican, and Betsy was reading it
this morning, and she told me that Boyn-
ton & Showers must be selling their good'
very fast and cheap, and said | must 60
quick and get some before they are all

mer laid the whip on his horses and start
ed for the above named establishment, at
locomotive speed.

From the New YORK Iribune,I
Those who should be well informed
concerning the probable result of the cleo
tions in Maryland, next week, declare
that the Unconditional Union men will
carry every Congressional District, defeat
ing even Calvert in the Lower Potomac
counties, and Chrisheld in the Eastern
Shore counties, which are more full OF
sy ympathizers with the rebellion and of
slsveholders than any other portion Of the
State. Pains piH Be taken 10 prevent all dis
loyal men from exercising the right Of suffrage.

remarks that, being interpreted, it
means that

the Republicans, las it certainl, will, if
only truly loyal men vote then certain
people are 10 be charged with disloya atty

A. g. CURTIN.
BY the Governor.
ELI SLlFER,
Stc'y. Of Commonwealth.

pESSsYLvANn.- Over half million OF
votes were cast al the election in Penn
sylvauia Of these .54 900 were Demo-
cratic votes. We are satisfied. Nothing
was at stake in tins election which con-
cerned outsiders at all except the morale
of rtc,ory That is ours. True, Curtin is
reelected but there is not living well
posted man who does not know that 254,
900 Democratic votes cast under present
circumstances, in Pennsylvania, is n large
majority of the legal votes given at th :
late election. No man knows this better
than Abraham Lincoln. unless it be biz
dog Forney. Think Of the influences
brought against us in that states See
the host, of contractors who are getting
rich out Of the public calamities the iron
mongers supplying shot and shell ito pros
ecute the war"-the thousand of tax gath
erers and consciptlon agents the ten thou
sand clerks sent home from Washington
to vote for Curtin, (admitied) the clear
ing out of the hospitals for the same prr-
pose-the discriminating draft upon the
armies in the tield-the greenbscks--the
intimidation OF voters, and the frauds Of
every kind and then talk Of an admins
traton victory!
Curtin has about $4,000 majority. On
sccout o Judge Woodward and his friends
we are sorry; on other accounts. glad. The
local advantages ofsuccess are doubtless of
some importance, but the immense re-
sponsibility. without much power, may
well be summed at such II time as this
We hardly know what Judge Woodward
could do, il he had been elected, to miti-
gate the horrors of the situation. To exc
cute the behests of this infamous admins
tration would be fatal disgrace to rebel
would perhaps be equally fatal; and either
course would tend to throw the State
against us when its great power will be
needed 10 restore the peace and integrity
of our troubled country. God bless the
Pennsy sylvanians! They fought noble
battle-they won a noble victory and it
is hoped that Mr.. Lincoln will be wise

and receive instruction honest judgment
