DICKINSON ON SEYMoUR.-In a recent speech,
the Hon. ID. S. DICKINSON said
tGovernor Seymour has not unfrequently
reminded the public that he has taken an oath
OF rare solemnIty to execute the laws That
oath he has now fulfilled, if not before. He
has certainly executed the laws upon this oc-
casion, for he has literally crucified them be-
tween thieves. Although this murderous and
thieving outbreak will not prove available as
Copperhead capital, the rebels, with savage
ferocisy, already gloat over what they term
the sblood- soaked ashes of our commercial
metropolis, and France and England, anxious
to aid the rebellion against our Government
by all the means in their power, will probably
recognize theNew York mob as a sbeligerent
power.' They can do SO with as much propri-
ETY. as they recognized the rebellion as such.''

FROM MONTH CAROLINA we have emphatic
testimony to the deep seated fee ling of oppo-
sition to the tyranny of JEFF Davis which ex-
sIst among the people of that State. 1t has
found expression in strong words /; it will soon
find stronger expression in action. Jefferson
Davis is denounced as unworthy OF any conf
dence, and the rebellion is declared to be a
failure. When leading journal OF State in
rebellion dares to advise that delegation be
sent to Washington to offer submission to the
Government, We may know how near the
great conspiracy is to its utter ruin. North
Carolina has spokan boldly, and has half un-
iocsed her chains, and other States will profit
by her example. Proof after proof is literally
thrust upon the nation that intelligent
people of the Southern States are growing
weary of a war which they know to be
useless, sick of a cause which has brought
them nothing but misery, and anxious to re-
turn to the Union which but for false leader
they never would have sought to leave.

AN ACT OF vILLAINY.

A correspondent of the Boston Trareller,
writing from Sharpsburg account of Gen.
kiipatrick's charge on the enemy's rear guard.
near townsville, relates the occurrence of a
dastardly act, as follows:
son Tuesday Gen. Fitzpatrick got within
I haH mile OF the enemy's rear guard, near
townsville, when our spies discovered that
lines of rife pits were ready to contest their
| advance. These works were erected on the
brow of quite large hill, and General Kill
patrick at once resolved to feel the strength
sofshis foe. Two com panies OF the 9th Micbi
gan cavalry, and F were ordered to charge
up the hill to the earthworks which was done
In fine style. As our men dashed in sight, the
rebels were seen to throw down their arms and
hoist flag of truce.
Supposing, of course, the enemy had sur
rendered, they continued on and when within
hfty or sixty feet the entire rebel force, which
mnst have numbered from 700 to 900 men
seized their rifles and fred upon our men. TAX
ing them completely by surprise.
Finding the force so much larger than they
anticipated, our men gave them volley and
ieii back to the main body of the cavalry.
. fhe rebels, after completely stripping the vic
Tins OF their infamous treachery of shoes and
stockings, fled to dense piece of woods three
mites bey ond carrying off their dead and woun
ded. visited the scene of their hellish plot
in order to obtain list of the casualties. and
more revolving spectacle never presented
itself.
In all directions, as far as the eve couId
reach on the top of the hill, lay the lifeIess
remains of our brave defenders, the warm
blood oozing from their mortal wounds ic
streams that formed in pools am id the grass.
while at their side, bleeding, lay their faithful
chargers, stiff in death the sharers of their fate
A knot of soldiers gathered around the bod. |

ed them. This is horrible fact, which I |
witnessed personally-after killing our men. |
they pierced their bodies with bayonets and |
swords, robbed the dead of their inger-rings, |
boots, stockings hats and every article of fvaIue.

UNION SENTIMENT In NORTH CAR.
80


The following extracts from North Carolina
papers shows that there is in the Old North
State a growing sentiment in favor of the
Union and against the bogus confederacy:
A SECRET POLITICAL ASSOCIATION AMONGST
u rs.
From the Raleigh State Journal, June 30l
On the eve of the late election in Virginia the
Richmond Examiner awoke the people of that
State 10 what ii believed to be a fact-viz: that
there was amongst them secret oath bound
political organization: The disclosure dosht-
less led to the defeat of Fiournoy and the tri-
nmph of Gen. Smith, Notwithstanding the trick
attempted in the withdrawal OF Mr. Gogsiu;
but the matter attracted little or no attention
outside of Virginia. Since that time a matter
hos transpired which leads us to the con yictIon
thatthe Examiner was correct A secret organ
ization Goes exist, and its object is much more
/ damnable than the Examiner supposad. OF
that hereafter. Another evidence of this Sec
ond secret political move is furnished by the
letter of our Goldsboro correspondent. We
caution the patriotic people of the State TO b.
ON The alert. Not place and power merely a! e
involved in this movement; it embraces the lib
erty and the property, and even the lives of the
Z hone ST patriots of the confedpracy Develop
ments may shortly be made which will startle
the most apatheiic.
The Raleigh IN. c. Standard is in favor
of a reconstruction OF the Union, and thinks
= the pl ohab terms of reconstruction between
rhe North and South will be the adoption of a
gradal emancipation system by all of the
bpfIous Stat which North Carolina, in COM
mon WIN me otheT Save states, Will accept IL
The government insists upon the same as the
only terms that can be granted, notwithstand-
ing the life of the institution is not in the least
impaired by this war, as is generally believed
at the North.
Nothing but great standing army between
the masters and the slaves could impair the ill.,
etitution over which is thrown the shield OF the
State and municipal laws, together with the
inherent Will OF the Southern people. hence
these terms the cheapest the government
can offer, and the bes the South can accept.
The Wilmington IN. CO. Journal, an origin
of the North Carolina Legislature upon the
call of Governor Vance, ostensibly to consider
the question of rebel currency, charges that
other and more important objects occasion this
called session. and bitterly denounces thu re-
eonstraCionists with intending to use the Leg
islature as means of accomplishing their
purpose.
