Ia The Nincennes Sea and its cead-
tutors, in order to blaat the poignancy
of the expression Of the detcstation in
which they are held by the loyal Union
soldiers, now in the army, as manifested
by the late Demonstration at Henderson,
charge that the demonstration was insti
gated by abolition officers.
This is the favorite excuse of traitors
and their copperhead sympathizers.
ValIandigham, the great Mogul of the
peace sneaks, when snubbed by the New
York World, a paper VIGOROUSLY pro-
slavery in its sentiments, and the organ
Of Fernando Wood, rendered himself
ridiculous by branding that paper as au
abolition sheet That argument rs play
ed out, has lost its point and is now only
useful in enabling people to distinguish
between ioyal .nen and traitors.
The Sullivan Democrat ventures the
opinion that the rank and file of the

A more villainous SANDER was never
perpetrated against the brave men of

The resolutions and addresses coming
up from the Indiana, Illinois and Ohio
troops from every division of the army
of the Union, give the lie to all such
assertions, and the refusal of the Demo
cratic Legislature to grant these sol
diers in the field the right to vote, proves
that they do not believe the soldiers sym
pathize with them.

The U. S. steamer Sciota, off the coast of
T-xas, reports that on the Sth she made two
small vessels, (schooners,) both of which, on
8 icing the Sciota, ran ashore, when they were
boarded and burned, there being no possible
chance of saving them. Their cargo consisted
of about go bales of cotton.
On the following day, while passing Corpus
Christi, two vessels were discovered at anchor
behind Mustang Island, apparently loaded
with cotton, &c, awaiting an opportunity to
escape the blockade. A gun was discharged
at them by the s., when both got under way,
and stood up the bay about six miles, when
they grounded. An expedition was sent to
capture them if possible, and if they could not
be saved, to burn them, which was done, after
an unsuccessful attempt to float them.
The officer in charge of the expedition, Lieut..
Davenport, accidentally shot himself while re-
turning. The ball passed through his right leg
q little below the knee and his left arm above
the elbow.

ENORMOUS FRAUDS UPON THE GOVERN
MEET.-Considerable excitement has been Gre
ated in Harrisburg, Pa, by the discovery of
enormous frauds upon the Government during
the recent army movements in that region con-
sequent upon the rebel raid. The amounts are
stated at millions of dollars. number of
prominent State politicians have been placed
under arrest, and the subject will receive the
most searching investigation by the War De-
partment. The most corrupt practices have
prevailed in horse contracts and in clothing
and subsistence supplies. They throw the
81 shoddy" operators at Harrisburg in the sum-
mer Of 1861 entirely into the shade. Many of
the same parties are implicated, and the gangs
who have infested the State capital in the win
ter have reaped rich summer harvest. 1t is
matter Of record that while contractors were
receiving enormous sums, many of the gallant
soldiers were placed on allowances of cracker
a day for several days together.

THE CASE OF THE Boy DEMONSTRATION
Lancaster, whose arrest we noticed a few
weeks since, on the charge of having opened
military dispatches and read the contents,
which he communicated to parties at the
South, and also with having opened and
destroyed private dispatch about the 10th of
January last, while in the employ of the Tele.
graph company, has been released. General
Martindale partially examined the case and
turned it over to Justice johnson, before whom
it was proved that Lancaster was never in
trusted with military dispatches, and if he had
been, he could not have made use OF them, as
they are in cipher. 1t was also proved that it
was another boy named Van Bussom who
opened the private dispatch on the 10th of

foisted as a candidate by his Office. holders in

reference to his withdrawal and his reappear-
ance, but they may be without foundation.

Orleans papers have come up the old river, we
believe, since the spring of lS6l-more than two

feet of both, was the trusty and willing messen-
ger that exec dted their behests."
