NEW York, May 6. The reconnaissance of
Gen, Palmer from Newburn to Kingston, N. c.,
In which he drove the rebels from their entrench-
ments at the bayonet's point, is given in the
Herdta. Ii is evident from the result of their
expedition that large portion of the rebel force
has gone to reinforce Lee in his conflict with
Hooker
1t is believed that Longstreet has withdrawn
from before Suffolk, and gone to reinforce Lee.
WASHINGTON, May 6. Yesterdays rain storm

DespOtic Arrests.

The telegraph has appraised our readers that in
the New York Legislature the party of the AID
ministration have just arrayed themselves against
the s,ernly expressed determination of the great
majority of the American people, by voting TO
uphold and indorse the infamous arbitrary arrests
perpetrated by those who abuse their trust in the
places of power at Washington. On the direct
question of upholding or c~ondemning the conduct
Of the present Administration at Washington, in
seizing men without the process of law, and hur
rying them to prison without granting the hear
ing to which, under the Constitution, they are
entitled, the Republican Abolition party in the
New York Legislature have just voted to sustain
the arrests. No such arbitrary stretch of power
in defiance of the peoples liberties is ever ven
tured upon by the monarchial Government of
Great Britain.
It was these outrageous arbitrary arrests, in
fact. which contributed more than any other one
cause to arouse and exasperate the American
people. and, by producing the great political rev
olutiOn that has overthrow the Administration
party in all the great Western and Central States,
arrested the monstrous acts of the infatuated men
at Washington, and brought the perpetrators of
them to u dead pause. To illustrate the incredible
extent of their infatuation and insolence, We quote
from the diplomatic correspondence of Secretary
Seward a shameful but characteristic passage.
The Secretary's whole official correspondence
was, by Congress, last winter, ordered to be
printed and snch another mass of official writing,
whether for its ~voluninous amount, OF the char
acter of a large portionsof the dispatches them
selves, was never before seen in the transactions
of this Government. We may add, that this
country was never before so disgraced in its
diplomatic correspondence. Here is the passage;
il is taken from a dispatch to the British Minister:
MR. SEWARD TO LORD LYONS.
Ny lord, | can touch a bell on my right
hand. and order the arrest of a citizen in Ohio.
| can touch the bell again and order the impris
onment of IA citizen in New York; and no power
on earth. but that OF the President. can release
them. Can the Queen of England. in her do
minions. do as much?"
This is the very intoxication and madness of
official iusolence and folly on the part of those
who, in the wild whirl of civil war, felt power.
and forgot right. But that party now begins to
see that they have rung that bell too much.
They hear echoes and reverberations that they
never expected. That bell is now tolling the
knell of the Iiberty-crushing fanatics who rashly
dared TO awaken It's slumberng tones. Mr. Sew
ard rung it in Connecticut. He will hear its re
verberations come crashing about his ears on the
first Monday of April.

/ have watched with particularly this whole
Yazoo Pass Expedition, which has been gotten
up with such a flourish of t%rumpets. Generals
have almost fought for its paternity. Until this
moment, it has accomplished nothing.
All the fighting done, was that by Captain j.
p. Fosters boat, the Chillicothe. This boat en-
gagged the Rebel fortifcations four times. Until
she was utterly used up, until her guns crew were
killed and her ammunition fired away-not until

Three generals were within FIVE hundred yards,
but they q passed. "
When the Chillicothe was knocked to pieces. il
was concI ided to withdraw. Orders were given
so to do-they were OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
after three alterafions-now they stand rescinded.
Now, we are more than one hundred miles from
Fort Greenwood, which the Rebels call Fort
pemberton.
We start down the river in the morning, to
again attack the Fort. Captain Foster of the
Chillicothe flies the broad pennant and commands

The Navy and Army ought never to co operate;
one will bother the other, or one be jealons of
the other, or one charges the other with all the
delays.
The destruction of property, particularly of
cotton, has been frightful; but the Rebels did it
themselves. II the Rebels burn their cotton and
cotton gins. and houses and negro quarters, theirs
be the privilege to do as they please with their
own goods.

EDINBURG, March 81, 1908.
EDITOR SENTINEL: The so called Union meet
ing held in this town on Saturday, the 2Sth inst,
was a grand fzzIe. both in numbers and in the
speaking. so much so that the Republicans them
selves concede the fact. The best efforts were
put forth to get up what they termed a grand
rally. Flaming hand bills we're circulated far
prominent speakers would be present. that the
brass band Ofthe 18th regulars would be on hand,
and that arrangements had been made with the
railroads for half fare tickets. But all this did
not win, and the reason of this is the people un
derstand too well that the radical party are at
tempting to humbug the people by their probes
sions of UDionism. The policy Of this aarty is
so well defined as to leave no doubt on the minds
of the people. This policy does not suit them,
as they are opposed to infractions upon the Con-
%stitution and usurpations Of power. They know,
too, that their main object is to retrieve. if posi-
BILE. their late misfortunes, by misreDresenting
and slanderiDg the great conservative Democrat
ic party; hence the people are not disposed to
affiliate with a party whose policy is ruinous TO
the country. Less than 200 non residents were
present, a large portion of whom were Demo
Gratis.
The principal speaker was n Methodist preach
er, as he represented himself, from the State of
Brown.
Every indication in these parts is highly fiat
tering to the gallant Democracy. Let US be faith
full to our time-honored principles, and manifest
our devotion to the Constitution, the Union and
obedience to law and order, not by boastiug as
others do, but by our actions which speak louder
than words, and our future will be as glorious as
the past. A CITIZEN.

..rhe affa,r AZ nroomlnrton. ;,

We see an article under the a owe caption,
published in the indianapolis and cincinnati pa
pers. giving an account OF fan attempt being made
in Bloomington, on Saturday last. by some
"Copperheads," to rescue the Rebel prisoners
that passed through here on the train that day.
which they were only prevented from doing cat
the point of the bayonet." Now. this is news to
to us. and, we presume, to all the citizens of
Bloomington. The train passed through here,
as stated, and stopped for a short time. but we
have YET to learn Of any disturbance with the
prisoners, or any attempt to rescue them, by any
party whatever. There might have been Cop
perheads" in town. and they might have had
arms concealed under their clothes, for all we
know, but they certainly did not attempt to use
them on that occasion.
As to the meeting spoken of that day, its OBJ
ject was to give our Senator aud Representative,
Messrs. Dunning and Buskitk, a chance to give
an account of their stewardship whilst at In
dianapolis last winter. AS TO Mr.. Buskirk's
speech. we have heard bit little said concerning
it-indeed. we believe il was but short. owing TO
the indisposition of the speaker. Mr. Cummings
speech we have heard spoken we'll of by men OF
both parties. We should not have noticed this
%"affair." but for the slur that 1t attempts to cast
upon the fair fame of our place. No such thing
would be allowed in Observation-Disclosures

Meeting of the Democracy of Monroe
County.

A large and enthusiastic meeting Of the Demo
cracy and conservative citizens of Monroe coun-
" was held at Bloomington on the 24th day Of
January last. IL was addressed by Judge EcKLEs
in a speech full of devotion to the Union and the
Constitution as the fathers made them. A reso-
luton was passed indorsing his speech HUeH
MARLIN, Esq, offered the following series Of
resolutions. which were adopted by a vote that
fairly shook the walls of the building in which
the meeting was assembled lat least FIVE hun
dred persons voting for them and none against
them. The resolutions were furnished US soon
after the meeting. but were mislaid, and hence
they we're not published at the time they should
have been; but we give them now. as an express
ion Of the Democracy Of Monroe county upon
questions which are deeply exciting the attention
of the country
1. Resolrsd, That slavery I'm its present form is CO.
existant with cur Government, and therefore the charge
that it is inimical to the peace and the Union Of the
States. is false and unjust; on the contrary, we solemnly
believe that to the unconstitutional interference with that
institution may be justly attributed much Of our present
troubles.
2. That we claim no fellowship with any man who is at
heart OF in practice a disunIonist; and that we condemn
every doctrine having a tendency to widen the breach
now existing between the sections Of our country.
3. That we can never consent to a separation OF the
States, nor to any adjustment Of our present difficulties,
which would make two or more nations out of territory
which we believe God and Nature designed for one
people.
4. That we are utterly opposed to the abolition Of
slavery by the President, Congress. or any other power
than the States respectively in which il exists; and that
we condemn, most emphaticalIy, the Presidents procia-
mat on freeing the negroes in the rebellious States, and
his compensated emancipation scheme, rendered to the
border States
5. That we ardently desire to see the end Of the present
unnatural strife, but only upon such basis as will restore
each State to its former position in the Union, with all its
Institutions, rights and privileges unimpaired-
6. That we are opposed to foreign Intervention in the
affairs Of the United States; but that we favor an armis-
the and the calling of a Convention of all the States, in
order TO a settlement Of our present troubles.
Z. That we demand Of the Legislature now in session
the enactment of such laws as will efectualy carry out
the will Of the people as manifested in their almost unan-
imous vote ON the 18th Article Of our present Constitu-
ton, prohibiting the immigration of negroes and mulat-
toes into our State.
s. That the right Of free speech is an invaluable right,
formidable to tyrants only, and should be maintained at
every hazard.
o. That to those who have lost friends in the present
war we extend our warmest sympathy, and 10 those still
exposed to the dangers Of the field our prayers for their
lives and honor.
