HOW WE STOOD AFTER BULL RUN.

The war was just beginning. 1t
was our first conflict that approached
che dignity of battle. As our shat
tered little army poured back. terror
stricken rabbIe. the enemy advanced
upon our capital til! its flag foated
over batteries planted in fair view from
the Presidents windows. From those
batteries his lines stretched northward
along the Potomac: all Virginia, save
half of the section west OF the AL
leghanies. was in his hands; in Ken
tucky he disputed possession with US
at Green river; at Columbus on the
Mississippi he blockaded the river and
menaced Cairo; in Missouri he threat
ened ST. Louis; south OF this line the
whole country was in his undisputed
possession; he held every port, and
well-nigh every fort on the coast, and
along the lower Potomac he further
disgraced US before the world by
blockading our capital.
We have failed sadly to come up to
the full measure Of our possibilities in
this war; but look at the result Of the
two years fighting since Bull Run.
and say whether it affords evidence
that I'VE can never conquer the
South"

Correspondence of the Cincinnati Gazette.
WAsHIEeroE. July 81.
Two years ago to-day the Nation
received the 6rst rude lesson of The
war. Two years ago to-day our
"Grsnd Army Of the Potomac," as,
in childish imitation of European
habits. we called our little force Of
twenty-five or thirty thousand men,
came drifting back over Long Bridge,
beaten. demorslized. disgraced.
Then followed the most sieken ing
folly that had ever disgraced the Press
Of this or any other country. 1t was q
bsttle in which our total killed were
48l, our total wounded, 1,OIl; vet, ac.
cording TO our newspapers. Waterloo
in all its disaster. was nothing By the
side Of the carnage Of Bull Run -
1diotic drivel about masked batteries, !,
and black Horse Cavalry, and terrific
charges, and fields OF men mown as by
reaper, filled ell eur columns for
weeks; and at last, 10 the very frenzy
of our folly. we turned upon the man
who faithfully. and only too kindly.
described the panic and retreat. and
sought to transfer our disgrace to him
by giving him its name Bull Run Rus
sci.
1t is period Of our history we may
well blush to look back to; and yet the
retrospect is not discouraging.

tary authorities tend toward the disin

any remonstrance made by us, or by
the political party for which we speak
is utterly in vain. We have not the
ear Of the administration. Any repre-.

JUDGE MILLER ON TREASON.
From the Dubuque Hereld.


In charge to the Grand Jury of the
U. s. Circuit Court for the District of
Iowa, in session recently at Des Moines
Judge Miller, one of the Justices Of the
Supreme Court, and Presiding Judge
of this Circuit Court, took OCCASION to
define the crime of treason, and to ex-
press some sentiments, on collateral
questions. ~ "a a. I, I|,,a.r.5a
We call the special attention of our
readers and of the people of Iowa in
general to this portion of the Judges
charge. 1t applies equally to public
functionaries who may wantonly violate
the laws ofthe country, as it does to
private citizens who may fconsp,re to-
gether to overthrow the. Government.
Judge Miller, We may premise, is re-
cent appointee Of, Mr.. Lincoln. We
agree with his definition Of treason, and
in his depreciation of any attempt being
made to overthrow the Government.
II 'Treason against the United States
consists only in levying war against
them. or in adhering to their enemies,
giving them aid and comfort. To con-
stitute the crime Of treason, some overt
act is necessary. That is something
more than mere expression of thought
or opinion. Some act mu t be perform
ed toward carrying the reasonable pur.
pose inro execution. And before con-
viction can take place this &C, must be
proved BY two witnesses. There can
ne no doubt that all those now or here
tofore engaged in this rebellion, are
guilty of treason, and that their lives
are forfeited to the law, but / am happy
in the opinion that no actual treason
has been committed in Iowa. If, howev-
er, your researches should unfortunate
ly prove the contrary, it will be your
duty to bring the fact before the court.
/, Very soon after the rebellion broke
out. the Congress Of the Union, finding
that the nation was engaged ina strug-
gle which seriously threatened its ex-
istence, passed alaw concerning con-
spiracies. By this statute it is provid-
ed that when two or more persons shall
conspire or confederate together for
the purpose of destroying or overthrow
ing TIL" government Of the United
States, or fprcibly resisting the execu-
ton Of its laws or any officer Of the
government in the lawful, exercise Of
his authority, they shall be guilty of a
conspiracy, and punished by fine and

THE TREATY WITH LIBERiA.--It is not
generally known that the treaty our
Executive Government" lately made
with the negro Republic of Liberia, pro-
vides that "Liberians (full blooded nc
groes) coming into the United States,
shall enjoy all the rights and privileges
which are or may be granted to any
other foreigners, subjects or citizens of
the most favored nation" This at once
places the African negroes upon level
with the Irish and German and French
and other respectable emisrants, and en-
titles them to letters of naturalization.
Thus our new Executive Government"
slowly unfolds its policy, and has hired
things, in the shape of men, to indorsc
its policy. Having decrced all the me-
groes of this country the equals of white
men, it now extends the privilege to all
Africans. A worthless negro from Ii
IBERIA takes precedence of a white, free
born American at the public receptions
of the President Of the United States =!
How immeasurably, as far as in his
power, has Abe Lincoln degraded the
American name and character.

Government agents traversed the State,

contracts, and good positions to the
sovereigns, if they would support the Ad-
ministration. What an outrage on de-
cency and honesty for such fellows as
Hamilton and Phelps to be employed by

make violent Abolition speeches! Some

MEssRs. EDIroRs There is much excitement
in this vicinity about the reported discovery of
copper in various parts Of the country. Now
there may be copper leads and leads that Will
pay to work, but none of such have been lound
in this neighbOrhood to the present time; yet
every man in town has his pocket full oi rocks
taken from the various $50 called copper leads
in this vicinity, and said TO contain from forty
to sixty per cent. of pure copper, but when
tested and no copper found, as is invariably the
case, they come TO the conclusion If 1t IS not
just copper it is mighty good indication any
how. The Georgetown Copper Lead Company,
which was reported to have struck it so rich, is
all humbug. Instead OF being rich lead 1t
is no lead at ALL only indications, but these are
said to be good.
The Wo0dside quartz lead, found in the log
yard Of Shanklin & Woodsde's steam saw-mill,
is a very rich ledge, but has not yet been thor
oughly prospected. This is quartz lead par
italy decayed, and containing much fine, pure
gold.
Spring is here and the peach trees are in full
bloom. We have fine prospect for an abun-
dance of fruit of all kinds Our citizens are
engaged in improving and cultivating their
gardens. Many of the gardens, if not the larg-
est, are among the most beautiful in the cOnn-
try. These, with the viue clad cottages, give
Georgetown the appearance of an old settled
town.
The citizens of this neighborheod have form
ed themselves into a military company for the
purpose Of learning the arts Of war and 10 pre-
pare themselves for any emergency that may
arise.
Politics are rather dry, but it is with much
satisfaction that witness the daily increase of
the Democratic party. May God speed the De-
mocracy in their holy mission! May they take
the Constitution down from off the shelf where
it has been laid by the Vandals now in posses
sion of the Government, and have it the ruling
power instead Of the military despotism which
is now instituted in Its place.

A NOBLE VINDIcAnoN.-It will be re-
collected that, some months ago, when
arbitrary arrests were common and Abo-
lition mobs, backed BY the military, were
encouraged by those in power, the Frank
lin IN. W Gazette, published in a strong
Abolition county, was suppressed and its
editors, for daring to advocate Democratic
principles, were sent to Fort Lafayette
At the recent election in that county the
Democrats elected ten and the Republi-
cans six Supervisors. In 1861 the county
gave over thirteen hundred majority for
Lincoln-now it gives Democratic ma
jority. Is this the reaction the Sacra-
mento Union speaks of! Such reactions
are common in the Eastern States, and
show that the masses, with "fearful stead
iness," are turning against the Admins
tration. Well may the advocates of mob
violence-the Union, Bee and Alta, ct
omne hic genus-tremble. A day of
settlement is coming, and when it.comes
the Abolition traitors will meet their re-
ward.
