Don't want TO see Them.

Letters from Baltimore and other cities
now threatened by the invading army show
that the secessionists do not care to see their
rebel friends. 1t is fact that the secession
fever cools as the rebels advance. A large
proportion of the northern secessionists are
wealthy and they know that the men of Lees
army have way of entering stores and even
private houses and appropriating clothes,
hats, boots, shoes, &C., and leaving in their
stead heap Of rags styled Confederate
scrips.' The secessionists are much like the
man who gave an acquaintance the following
equivocal invitation "Joe, if you ever come
within half mile of my house stop" They
say, Brother traitors, We sumpathize with
you; We want you to succeed; We will help
you what We can, but when you &c: within
fifteen or twenty miles of this city you had
better stop" This action on the part of tie
northern secessionists is contrary to the adj
vice of the Richmond Enquirer which tells
the northern traitors to shout " deliverance
and not Union as the rebel army advances.
But thanks TO the wise provision of Hooker
the rebel army will not come much further
north, and it may be that the disciples of Val
landigham and Seymour and the Woods and
other traitors and peace men think that "dIs-
cretion is the better part of valor," and that
it is better not to haIoo until thay are out of
the woods.

POSTSCRIPT.
Hard Fighting.

By a despatch received Thursday morning
we learn that battle took place on Tuesday
between Gen Peasanton and the rebel caval-
~. Result: The enemy lost 400 killed
wounded and prisoners. Our loss is rep
orted at 200. Official advices state
that portion of our cavalry under
Fitzpatrick had fight with rebel cavalry at
Hanover Junction in which our forces were
successful.
1t is believed in Washington that battle
was fought Wednesday between Gems. Meade
and Lee as heavy firing was hearl the whole
evening in The direction of Carlisle. A spec
ial dispatch to the New York Times dated a,
Gettysburg, July l, says fight has been 60
ing on between the rebels under Longstreet
and Hill and our LIST and 11th corps under
Reynolds and Meade, in which Gen REYNOLDS
was killed. There was heavy loss, but it is
SAID our two corps were successfully resisting
the attack, and that the Sd and 4th corps
were moving up to the place of conflict.

That Copperhead Convention.

That loyal democrats may see how the
proceedings Of the Montpelier convention
are regarded by the people out of this state
we copy the following from the Springfield
Republican
d" The copperheals Of Vermont who style
themselves democrats. and met in convention
at Montpelier On Friday to nominate state
officers, haven't any power. but what they
lack in this direction they make up in malig-
nifty. They adopt as their platform resolu-
tons passed by the Ohio convention which
nominated Vallandigham. No one of the
speakers from first to last, had anything to
say against the rebels. who are now invading
the North but denunciations of the admin
istration, which is doing all in its power to
turn back the rebe! horde, were noisy AID
frequent. The native copperhead talent Of
the state was not thought sufficient for the
occasion, and jim Brooks of the New York
Express was imported to do the dirtiest
work, which he did as though he was used
to it, as he is.
Valiandigham, Mcclellan, Fitz John Por-
ter and others of that stripe were cheered
and the name of the President was received
with groans. In fact no where at the North
has treason been more loudly talked or thor
oughlv acted, than in the little Green Noun
tain state. We know there is not corpo-
rails guard in the state which will vote in
endorsement of such men and such princi-
piles, but We are sorry there are copperheads
Ell Ough to get up such a convention. This
is their last peep, however. The republican
convention next week will give the true SEN
timents of Vermont, and nominate the tick
ct which will be carried at the coming cleo
ton; and by another year we shall have
things so fixed that no man, in New England
at least, will dare own himself copperhead.

Rear Admiral Foote, who has been living
very i'll at New York for several DAYS past.
died Friday evening at few minutes past
ten. He was native of New Haven. CT.
born in 1906, entered the navy in 1922. in
1894 was warranted midshipman, in 1927
was passed midshipman. in 1880 a lieuten-
ant, in 1862 a captain, and 1892 rear admi-
raj. His etfolts to secure temperance in the
navy, to Suppress the slave trade, and 10
protect American property in the Chinese
seas, no less than his brilliant services al
Fort Henry and Fort nonelson, have given
him an enduring and most honorable place in
American history. He was recently appoint
ed to succeed admiral Dupont in the South
Atlantic blockading squadron, and was on
the point of em5arking when he was seized
with the illness which has terminated fatally.

juno l6,

We are evidently at another very critical
point in the war The coming days and
hours are pregnant with events which we al
mast fear to have transpire. By bold
stroke Lee has thrown his army upon free
soil. By this move he risks much and also
threatens con siderable If the Federal ar
mics are not sufficient to check him he will
doubtless sack some of our Northern cities,
p;llage and devastate large area of terrific
nv. If our leaders are up to the emergency
they can strike more deadly blow to the
Rebellion in Pennsylvania and Maryland
than could possibly be done in Virginia
If our general commanding is equal to the
crisis, Lees army will never 60 back across
the Potomac. Although the occasion is
most critical it is no time to lose heart and
despond. In momentous times like the pres
ent great deeds are performed and giant
strength shows itself. We are apparently on
the eve of another great hattie # We win it
will be the greatest success of the war. Let
us have faith in and stand by the govern
ment, hurry forward the heavy battalions,
and trust the iosuc with the God of al bat
ties.
BY postscript which we give elsewhere it
will be seen that the great conflict has begun,
and that Gen Reynolds, one Of our best Off
GERS, has been killed. There are no details
yet, as the fighting commenced yesterday.

State Convention.

By a notice which will be found under the
editorial head it will be seen that there is to
be convention at Burlington next "edneS-
day of the Freemen of Vermont to nominate
State officers. Gall who are In favor OF
sustaining the government In its efforts to
suppress the Rebellion are cordially invited"
Those who support the Rebellion by words
and acts as far as they dare 60, have just
held convention at Montpelier. Their res
olutions and reasonable spee ches have gone
forth broadcast, disgrace to our State and
lasting infamy to the participators. Now
the loyal people of our pre-eminently loyal
State propose to meet, not for the purpose
of villifying our government and giving aid
and comfort to the rebels, but for directly
the opposite purpose. Let there be grand
rally of the loyal masses from our hills and
valleys. Let Caledonia County show by a
good delegation next Wednesday that there
is patriotism yet left among US.
AS regards the nominee for governor, We
have already expressed in these columns our
preference for John Gregory Smith of St.
Adams, as man who by his great business
capacity ard executive ability is particularly
fitted for that position; and we say this
without disparagement of the several other
gentlemen whose names have been mention
ed in connection with this Office. But who
ever the convention brings forward as Our
standard bearer in the coming election will
receive our cordial support, if We believe
him to be loyal man.

The total demand on York by the rebels
amounted to 100000. The citizens raised
$780, 900 in cash and subsistence, and the
rebels allowed them twenty days to raise the
balance. The citizens were all treated with
respect. The railroad property was not dis
turbed with the exception of about thirty old
cars that were at the shops awaiting repairs.
The railroad south of Glen Rock was not in
iured in any way. The rebel force at York
was not over 5000, with Is pieces of artillery.
The rebel force at Wrightsville was 5000,
with pieces of artillery.

THE NEWS OF THE WEEK.

Admiral Porters official report of the cap
ture and destruction of Richmond, La, and
also that of Gen Ellet, have been published.
Their substance is that 1000 rebels were
routed, the stores captured and the town
completely destroyed. The enemy lost sew
eral men. Our loss was only three wounded,
one of them dangerously. The rebels thus
beaten were the same who made the attack
on Milliken's Bend, and were under command
of McCuloch, who was at Delhi with 10000
men.
Go! Spear of the llth Pennsylvania cavalry
made rid into Virginia last week and des-
troyeG the bridge over the South Anna,
captured Gen W. +. Lee and Col Hearrable,
leu. captains, lieutenants and 100 privates,
and bought them in. He also brought in
thirty I've wagons with six mules, and $50
mules in addition, and from seventy-fve to
enc hundred horses. He took $4,000 in
Confederate bonds, Just issued from an agent
OF the authorities at Richmond. 1t was all
public property. No private property was
touched. Col Spears loss was three killed
end eight wounded"
A dispatch from Tennessee says General
Rosecrans' army is on the move, and has
occupied Shelbyville, which has been aband-
oued by the forces of the rebel Bragg
Where has Bragg gone is now the question.
1t locks as though the rebels were abandon
ing every other point for the relief of Port
Hudson and Vicksburg, and for their des-
perate venture of the invasion of Pennsyt
vania. The telegraph says that Bragg is
falling back as RoSecrans advances and there
is no prospect of battle at presentr.
The assault on Port Hudson on the Nth
proved quite disastrous. Our forces fought
with great enthusiasm, but were repulsed
with loss of from 700 to 1000. No list Of
casualties is yet forwarded. 1t is stated that
We gained something in position by the fight,
but the works appear to be too strong to be
taken by direct assault Another attempt
however was contemplated, and probably
occurred on the 18th, as a dispatch states
that two Wisconsin regiments in the advance
were captured on that day. The inference
is that this assault was also repulsed. The
Massachusetts regiments are mentioned as
having distinguished themselves.
1t is reported that Price with about 6 900
rebels has taken possession of Island No.
50 with the purpose of interrupting navisa-
ton Of the Mississippi at that point. Capt
Pennock of the navy will look after Price
and will probably entrap him if he attempts
that game.
Brig Gen Pleasanton has been made a
Major General by the President He has
~ortlily earned his honorable stars.
The agreeable news is announced that our
forces on the Peninsula have been moved by
way of York river towards Richmond. A
large force landed at white house last Thurs
day and a cavalry force previously sent out
returned there on Saturday evening, having

The Pirates of the Tacony Captured
The Revenue Cutter Siezed and Destroy
ed by Them at Portland.
THE ROMANCE OF REBEL PIRACY.

The crew of the rebel pirate craft Tacony
have been captured, and are held as prise
ners in Fort Preble, Portland harbor. Learn
ing that they were pursued, they removed
their armament to the captured schooner
Archer on the 24th, and entered Portland
harbor, where they secretly took possession
of the revenue cutter Caleb Cushing, and
were taking her down the harbor when the
steamers Forest city and Chesapeake pur-
sued her and her crew took to the boats and
were pursued and captured.
