Major General John Fulton Reynolds.
Brig. Gen. Commandil

The country has to mourn the loss, in
battle, of another valuable citizen and
brave man. Major General Reynolds fell
in the battle of Gettysburg, July 1. His
death was caused during volley fired by
the Confederate infantry, John Fulton
Reynolds was born in Lancaster, Penn
sylvania, in the year 1920 He gradua-
ted at West Point in 1S41, and was ap-
pointed second lieutenant in the Sd artil-
lery. He become first lieutenant in 1916.
In the war with Mexico he served with
distinction; was brevetted captain for
Monterey and major for Buena VISTA
Subsequently he rendered good service
in California and in the Indian country
When the civil war broke out he was cap
tain in the Sd artillery but in May, 1861,
he was appointed colonel of the l4th in
fantry. He was appointed brigadier gen
eral of volunteers in the following Au-
gust, and within the last year major gen
eral of volunteers. In September, 1861,
he commanded at Cheat mountain, Va, I,
when the Confederates, under Gen. Robert
e. Lee, attacked him in strong force and
tried to drive him from his position. -
They were repulsed handsomely several
times, and finally retired. Iu 1862 Gen
eral Reynolds was attached to the Army
of the Potomac. q He served with gallant
ry in q all the battles of that memorable
year. In September, when Pennsylvania
was threatened with invasion, he was
placed in command of the forces organ
lied for the defence of the State, and to
his skill and energy we were greatly in
debted for the check given to the enemy.
He commanded division under Burnside,
and when General Hooker was placed in
command he was assigned the first army
corps which he has commanded ever since

General Order Against Secret Societies.

Gen. Wilcox, commander of the Dis
trict of Indiana, has issued the following
order against secret political societies,
dated Indianapolis, June 30:
The peace of Indiana has lately been
disturbed by'violence, murder and other
acts contrary to law, and having their orig
gin in certain. secret political societies,
clubs. or leagues. The common safety
now demands that all such associations
should be discontinued, no matter to what
political party they may belong. They,
are constant source Of dread aud mis-
trust-they divide and provoke hostility
between neighbors, weaken the dignity
and power of courts of justice, expose the
country to martial law, and discourage
the people from enlisting in defence of
the nation. "ea,& H., e>
No matter how honest or worthy may
have, been the reason for such societies in
the beginning, their very secrecy and the
oaths they impose do enable wicked men
to use them unto unlawful ends, and per-
vert them into public nuisances. All
good objects can be accomplished openly,
and none but the enemies of their coun-
try ever need DISCUSSES. 1t is perfectly
plain that such secret organizations are
both dangerous and beyond the ordinary
graspof the law; they are therefore de-
clared hostile, and will be put down by
all the military power Of the district if
need be. 5}r . #t ''.
l invoke against such secret societies
the good influence and active aid of all
men who are friendly to the Union-to
discontinue and peaceably break up such
organizations within the limits of this dis
trict; and call upon the members thereof
speedily to withdraw from their dark
meetings and openly show that their in
tentions and acts are such as may we'll
become the true and loyal citizens of
country whose freedom and integrity they
will maintain against all enemies whatso-
ever, and before the eyes Of all the world.

triotic outbursts of her people when Sum-
,terswas attacked, the fanatics at first ac-
quiesced in the war for the Union but,
having control of the Government, they
soon managed to transform the, contest
into a. war against slavery. Led on by
Sumner, Wade, Wilson, Chandler, Gree
ley, Cheever, Garrison, Wendell Philips,
and other such madmen, the Abolitionists
rejected all means of conciliation, and en-
deavored to crush out every spark of
Union sentiment at the South. Their
threats, speeches, resolutions and acts of
4 Congress at last eliminated in Emancipa-
tion proclamations.
The Constitution of the United States
was torn to tatters. The South was united
and the North divided. Our best gener-
ais were removed because they would not
subscribe the Abolition creed. .Victo-
ry then left our banners and perched upon
the rebel standard. The war is no longer
a. war to subdue the secessionists OF to an
initiate the shareholders, but a bitter
struggle for the existence Of the nation
For all this the Abolitionists are RESPONSE
BILE, Their leaders still walk in, high pla-
ces and fill their pockets from the nation
al Treasury, and their journals are still
supported by official patronage and Gov
ernment contracts; but the end of these
things is at hand. Cowed by the infer
nal storm they have raised, these fanatics
now cry out for help against the rebel in
vasion, and preach that the duty of the
hour is to forget the past and save the
country. This delusive call has been
heard once too often. The duty of the
hour is to remember and to punish
First, let the rebels be defeated and driv-
en- back, and then, without hesitation or
delay, let those Northern Abolition trai-
tors who are responsible for the rebellion
and for the success, it has achieved be
held to strict and final account.

The COLUMBIA BRIDGE.-This bridge
which was destroyed by our forces, was one
of the most extensive structures Of the
kind in this country. The first bridge
erected at Columbia was destroyed by
freshet in 1882. 1t cost upwards of $780,
900. The one lately burned was built by
the Columbia bank. 1t cost $l50, 900 on
which there was an insurance of $50, 900.
The bridge answered a three-fold purpose,
as it had passenger track, railroad
track and towingpath outside, on which
boats navigating the Tide Water Canal
were towed across the Susquehanna. The
government is responsible for whatever
loss may ensue from the burning of the
structure. .-PAaza. Ing

Letter to the President.
THE vALLANDIGHAM CASE AGA1

The committee of the Albany meeting
ON the 18th of May to consider the arrest
Of Mr.. Vallandigham, having received
from President Lincoln reply in answer
to their communication on the subject re.
fer it to the committee on resolutions for
consideration. This body, of which Jno.
V. L. Pruyn is chairman, has adopted a
letter to the President reviewing the ar.
guments which his Excellency submitted
to the bar Of public opinion in vindication
of his conduct. .7 ''.i,.
After setting forth the provisions of the
constitution guaranteeing freedom of
speech and of the press, and the rights Of
personal liberty, except for crime or just
cause, the letter alludes to the suspension
of newspapers and the illegal arrest Of
many persons, eliminating at last in the
midnight arrest of distinguished citizen
of Ohio, and states that these great
wrongs assert the principles of supreme
despotism. The Presidents claim that
he found the authority for these acts not
outside but within the constitution, is de-
nounced as dangerous heresy. ... ~.
81 The committee then allude to that por-
tion of the Presidents letter where he
states: '"The man who stands by and
says nothing when the peril Of his govern
ment is discussed, cannot be misunder-
stood. If not hindered (of course by ar
rest he is sure to help the enemy, and
much more if he talks ambiguously talks
for his country with "buts," and aifs," !"
and "ands."' According TO this doctrine
sIthe committee, the Presidents justi-
fication is that the victims Of arbitrary ar
rest were obedent to every law, guiltless
of any offence, and are therefore placed
beyond the pale ofthe' constitution.
q The committee contend that the often
ses charged against Mr. Vallandigham,
according to act Of Congress-, should have
been tried by the United States District
Courtahd not by court-martial, and as
sert that there is no power in this coun-
try which can dispense with it's laws, and
that for this crime our ancestors in Great
Britain brought one mouarch to the scat
fold and dethroned another tf 4 ,5iu
on The committee, after vindicating the
loyalty Of the democracy, conclude with
the hope that the President will review
his. decision on this grave subject ~ Sun

CANADA AND MONARCHY. Mr. rrh

CANADA AND MONARCHY. Mr. Tho
mas darcy McGee, who has so long fig
ured prominently in the politics of Cana
da, has just written letter, in which be
proposes a. Canadian nationality, under
one of the sons of1Queen Victoria, and
the introduction Of the monarchial princi.
pie in the Government of Canada. Elk
pressing himself more clearly, he says
that, in his opinion, tttho dtime has come
on this continent when it would be wise
and proper to establish our power under
the immediate custody Of a royal prince"
In order to carry out his IDEA be suggests
that Canala shall, in the organization Of
the upper Legislative chamber, readopt the
principle Of life membership. He also
recommendsl q modification Of land ten
ures, by infdsing the hereditary principle
infthe transmission of property, and also
a reform of the existing system Of popular
education. Mr.. McGee, thinking that
these views are, not likely TO meet with
the favor Of the people, adds this qpalifi-
catioh: Understand me, I do not, un-
dervalue the Delnoc principle as one
Of the living and essential forces Of every
free, society; but must haveta counter-
poiseI even for its own sake, otherwise it
runs wild into anarchy, to be caughti and
tanned down. by the first strong-handed
despot who may arise"

RECAPTURE. OF BRAsHEAR CITY BY TIL
CONFEDERATES.

RECAPTURE OF BRASHEAR CITY BY THE
CONFEDERATEs.
J The steamship Morning Star arrived at
New York from New Orleans on Friday
night. She brings intelligence to the
9th Of June The New York Times
says,
For some days prior to the sailing of
the Morning Star there had been rumors
that Magruder, from Texas, was in the
Attakapas country with large force of
cavalry, &c. BY the arrival of the
schooner Tip Tip, from Boonsville, Texas,
June 5, this would appear to be confirm
ed, as all the forces of General Bee, late
ly there, had been withdrawn by Magru-
der. 1t is now fully confirmed by an ar
rival from Berwick Bay, which announces
that the rebels took possession of Brasbear
city, with stores, subsistence and forts,
made many prisoners, and captured
large number of contrabands. The cars
which left the city ON the Goth for La
fourche returned, so they, must have also
possession of the railroad, thus breaking
the connection. The transport steamers
St. Mary and the Crescent were at New
Orleans by sea from Berwick's Bay to
prevent capture. The u. S. sloop of war
Portsmouth had also arrived from the
Passes, her place being taken by five gun
boats which arrived from Baton Rouge.
