truth more clear than that which IS
taught BY every local Democratic organiza
lion IN this Commonwealth. From one

when plain, blunt words will besl express

vote, free and untram mmeled, is sacred and
inTiolable /; and any attempt to infringe
upon it, in the slightest degree, by men
willing to wound but yet afraid to strike"
would aveke and justify resistance in every

From the OH Regiment.
Yorktown. Va. June

iWhtoWH, va, june 10,
Your readers will doubtless observe that
the 9th has lately made radical "change
OF base.n We left Suffolk last evening
by rail for Norfolk, and came here by
transport, arriving just before noon. Our
tents are up--we have had our tea or
cotiee--our beds are spread and we are
ready to rest, expecting to be on the move
again IN few hours at most. Oh, "who
would not be soldier 2" through South
ern summer.
Your readers may be curious TO know
what we are here for, but | have two
reasons for not gratifying their curiosity {:
first, it would not be policy to state the
why's and whereiores of our coming here,
for Lee might get hold of copy of the
Herald; and again do not give reasons
because do not know them so | will
only throw out hints, as subject for medi-
tation. And first, | will hint that may
be the 9th is expected to turn Lees right
tank and take Richmond. If Lee gets
into New England, it will not be hard
Job for us to turn his flank, and we feel
that Richmond may be taken by judicious
management. One thing is certain, the
9th would be delighted to attend that GER
emony.
We have now Colonel-Colonel Rip
ley-and hope 10 have other field officers
soon; we ought to, surely, for in hot, dus-
ty, stirring tunes like these the entire
charge of regiment is too much for one
one man, unless he is made of genuine
"boiler iron No. l." The Colonel, how
ever, endures it like hero, and Go. B is
proud Of its old Captain.
The regiment is at present in high
state Of efficiency, We have had some
opportunities for drill of late, and have
improved them, and the various captains
along the line seem to vie with each other
IN having their respective companies ap-
| pear as well, and be as efficient as posi-
bic. There is reason to hope that we may
yet have good report to make of the 9th.
The health of the regiment Is generally
good, but it is tough set of men that can
stand this weather and be perfectly well
at all times. We are getting in very light
marching order-leaving knapsacks and
extra clothing in store in this place. 1t
is very evident that we are "golng on to
-" and you may rest assured that
it's very pleasing thought
In haste, B.

Living IN THE DISMAL SwAMP.-Ihe
progress of the war has developed the
ability of our soldiers to surmount almost
any physical obstacle, and to live IN places
hitherto regarded as uninhabitable. Now
we learn that not only is the Great Dis
NAL Swamp habitable, but even salubrious
according to the war correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press, who says;
"The name of the Great Dismal Swamp
starts the feeling of ill-defned dread and
horror in the breasts Of those who have
become acquainted with its soft and Shiny
labyrinths only through the medium Of ro-
nance. 1t IS impossible to conceive OF
any one but black, herculean, enthusl-
astlc bred who could exist amid the nox-
ious miasmas of the Great Dismal Snap.
They believe man who attempts to live
beneath the shade of these upas-like trees
is sure as destiny of certain death, Yet
this Great Dismal Swamp is actually
healthy, is occupied by eur soldiers, and Is
pronounced salubrious by our soldiers
The 177th Pennsylvania regiment went
there with almost two hundred on the sick
list, and how they have scarcely two
dozen. This is miraculous, when we con-
slider how they have to contend against
frogs, snakes, lizards and wood ticks
The Salt Sui phur Springs of Magnolia
were favorable resort Of the caen1e de 10
creme of Virginia and North Carolina
yet this beautiful watering place is almost
upon the margin of what ] would call the
northwest lobe of the swamp, on the road
leading from Suffolk to Portsmouth. Ju
niper water can alone be found IN the
depth of this waste. 1t is Of light claref
color and very wholesome"

THE BARBARITEs AT PORT HUDSON
A correspondent of the Boston Journal
describing the indignities heaped by the
rebels at Port Hudson ON the negro sol
diers, says:
" Prisoners taken by the rebels on the
day of the late battle were deliberately
murdered and piled up on the earthworks
in sight OF the negro skirmishers, and more
than one brutal rebel bit the dust at the
bid of the Negroes unerring rifles. AT
night the rebels came down from the
earthworks and stripped the slaughtered
negroes of their clothing and valuables,
and offered indignities to the inanimate
bodies. During the flag of truce on the
following day, the negroes were not allow
ed TO take advantage of it, and to-day
their bodies can be seen stripped and
stark, lying up close under the guns of the
enemy. Oh. but the perpetrators and
advocates of this inexpressibly damnable
iniquity are storing up to themselves
wrath against the day of wrath

A FEARFUL RECoRD.-An army Off
Ger writes from Louisiana to the Boston
Transcript that the camps of the black
regiments in Gen. Banks army are mod
els of neatness and order, and that but
one man in the command has been pun
ished for misconduct. Never were men
seen to fight with more dauntless courage
and devotion than these raw recruits. He
adds:
"Every man presenting himself to be
recruited strips to the skin, to be surveyed
by the surgeon. We do not accept one
half that offer. On Tuesday, cut of 80,
only 80 were accepted. l have directed
my surgeons to keep accurate lists of the
causes of rejection. They report to me
that not one in fifteen is free from marks
of severe lashing. More than one-half
are rejected because of disability arising
from iashing with whips and the biting Of
dogs on their calves and thighs. 1t is
frightful. Hundreds of them have welts
on their backs as large as one of YOU
largest fingers. l intend to have these
memoranda collected and published, with
certificates of surgeons"

REBEL VIEWS or NORTHERN PEACE
MovEMNNTS,--The Richmond ENQUIRER
of June 10th says that in two years they
may possibly hope to obtain peace, ii they
continue to repulse and defeat the invading
enemy, In continuation, the editor says :
The Yankee democracy" is certainly
rousing itself and preparing for new
struggle Cat the ballot box) in the great
cause of the ''spoils," or, as they call it,
the cause of constitutional liberty. Those
democrats are evidently beginning to raise
peace platform for their next Presiden-
tial election; and if they have the good
luck to be helped on and sustained by
more and more serious disasters of the Yau-
kee army in the field, there is no doubt
that the present devourers ofthe said spoils
at Washington may soon be so discredted
and decried, that our enemy's country
would be ripe for such peaceful ballot box
revolution.
II is nothing to us which of their fac
tons may devour their "spoils y just as
little does it signify to us whether they re-
cover or do not recover that constitutional
liberty which they so wantonly threw away
In the mad pursuit of Southern conquest
and plumber. But it is of the utmost inn
portance to us to aid in stimulating disaf-
lection among Yankees against their own
government, and in demoralizing and dis
integrating society in that od-abandoned
country.
In vain is net spread in the sight Of
any bird. We are ware OF them; and we
will watch them well, and the friends OF
the Union, "wheresoever found" Our
views go little further than theirs. We
have to SO disorganize and disintegrate So
ciety in their country that they will rush
into armed revolution and anarchy. We
spit upon their ballot box, We care not
what they demand" in resolutions, nor
what helpless trash they proclaim on the
housetops.
We do not believe IN their power to at
! tam so much as an armistice for two years
to come. If an armistice, indeed, were
offered, and the invading troops were with,
drawn, of course we should not object to it
and good use could be made of it.
But, mark well, ye armistice mongers
During that suspension of hostilities al
negotiations must be between government
and government. No negotiations or fra,
formations Of parties by public meeting:
or private conferences; no bargaining with
the "calm voice OF reason;" no secret
pockeung of Wallis common Christian
ity."
But armistice there will be NONE, anC
we are glad of it. Our sovereign indie
pendence is already won and paid fol
with treasures of brave blood. 1t shall
not be sold by peddlers, to be built into
a Yankee platform.
