New ORLEANS, Feb. 7, 1868.
Since writing yesterday a very painful
collision has been reported here between
some members of the Maine 18th regi
ment and the Louisiana lst, colored. This
latter regiment, with two compani les OF
tho former, were stationed on Ship Island.
For some time past there has been much
disSatifaction and trouble between these
two regiments, arising from the dislike
of the down Easter to obey colored off
GERS or associate with their men. Iester-
day news came here that the negroes had
fired on and killed six OF the Maine men,
and that much m ore trouble was anticipa-
ted. Com. Farragut was ordered imme.
diately to Ship Island with his flag ship

a gentleman who was present at the
departure of the drafted regiment for
Camp Washburn, informs me that Col.
Anncke refused to grant permission to the
wives of drafted men, many of whom were
present to speak with their husbands be-
fore their departing: after which a large
number Of those drafted gave three cheers

thinking
All are traitors who believed the South
would secede
All are traitors who did not believe the
South could be forced back with rs, 600
men in three months.
All are traitors who did not believe the
South were almost exhausted at the end
OF the first thrc months of the war.
All are traitors who did not believe
that 25O, 900 men would speedily end the
war.
All are traitors who did not believe that
SOC, 900 additional men would deal the
death blow to the rebellion.
All those who did not believe the sus
pension of the haJeaS co,pus wise and
Just measure are traitors.
All those who did not Justify the sup.
preston OF the press and restriction OF
speechare traitors.
All those who believe that the corrup-
tions of contractors and certain officials
ought TO have been kept before tho people
are traitors.
All those who did not believe slavery
to be an element Of Southern weakness
are traitors.
All those who do not believe slavery to
be an element of Southern power are trait
ors.
All those who believe that the Union
can be preserved without direct reference
to the institution of slavery are traitors
All who do not believe the PreSident's

All those who believe that the past
nineteen months have developed the fact

The Union, II shall be Prcscrv-


The Aboitionists fearing that the Demo
Gratis will acquire the power and bring about
the restoration OF the old Union Of our Faith
ers, by first inaugurating peace measures, are
continually keeping before tho people extracts
from some OF the leading spirits of the rebel
lion, Ia the South, in which it is asserted that
the South oes not desire a reconstruction OF
the old Union on any tcrms-that the South
cannot and will not ever consent to live under
the old flag. OF course the leaders OF the re-
bclion do not want to come back into the old
Unions and they are determined that it shall
not be restored il they can prcvant it. The
AJolitionists are Of the same opinion. Both
are plotting against the Union. JErE. DAVIS
and ABE LlxooLN, W. l.. YASCY and lIoRAcE
GnEELHY; RoDERr TooMps and BES. WADE.
The Richmond Enquirer and the Chicago Tri-
bune, are all against the Union all arc oppos'
cd to its construction. But there is pow
cr in the North aud in the South, that is above
all these, and the mutteriugs Of its thundcrs
are heard coming from the eastern shores of
New Jersey and sweeping with irresistible
force to the Northern Nississippi-its sound
is caught up in the south west, and is kindling
there a liamo that will burn with fury more
terrible than pen can describe OF tongue can
tell. 1t is the voice Of the people reccho'
ing the immortal words Of ANDREW JACKSON;
"1hc Union, it shall be preserved" =" All OPP
position to it will be as chat before the
wind. JEFF. DAVIS will not be asked If he
will permit the Union to be preserved. ABT
/ LINCOLN will not be asked if the glorious fab
rc our fathers reared for us shall be prcscrv
ed. No But they and their aiders and
obettors will be supplicants for mercy at the
feet Of an injured and enragcd people. Scccs'
sion and Abolition, twin children Of hell aud
olIsprings Of damned spirits, will retire to
their paternal haunts and reason, justice and
constitutional liberty will resume their mild
dominion over this once favored land.
