A DastardIy Outrage.

(From the Huntingdon Monitor, July 3D.
On last Saturday morning, about three
O'Clock in our absence from town, the
office of the MONITOR was torclbly en-
tered by some cowardly scoundrels, by
knocking out the panels of one of the
doors. and three cases of type were car
ried away and destroyed, and seven col
umns of matter were thrown into PIE.
4 niece of a bavonet was found in front
of the office in the morning, and the win
dow shutters bore numerous marks winch |
proved that an effort had been made TO |
enter by forcing them open. 1he DAM
ace done 10 the office amounts to about
two hundred dollars, and will be repaired
in few days
This most wicked, cowardly and un-
provoked act of brutality was witnessed
bv two or three person, from adjacent
buildings. who had been awakened from
their sleep by the oaths which the rioters
uttered. There was a military guard
patroling the streets at the time, and the
soldier nearest the Office, ran to the Court
. House for assistance, but before he re-
2 turned supported by number OF bayo-
5 uete the miscreants had taken warning
and fled.

would mako some other disclosures, and suggested
that a time be agreed upon for another hearing.
Mr.. Jones contendcd that his clients were all re-

eating them they might be discharged.
Mr.. O'Ncill asked that his client be discharged,
as there was no evidence of conspiracy.
Some time spent in conversation on these
points and finally the district attorney agreed to

FROM CHARLESTON.
TWO DAYS AFTER THE FIGHT.

Correspondence of the Baltimore American
STEAMSHIP Ericsson, OFF CHARLESTON, I
April o, 1868, J
l closed my last letter yesterday, immedi-
ately after hearing of the determination of
Admiral Dupont TO disappoint the nation
by retiring from before Charleston, acknowl-
edging his inability TO perform the duty
delegated to him. Al later hour in the
evening, visited the iron-clads on the
steam-tug Dandelion, and more broken
hearted set OF men never had the misior-
tune to encounter. Each man appeared to
regard himself as personally disgraced by
the act of his superiors, and aboard the
Ironsides tine state of feeling among the
younger officers and crew was that of su-
preme disgust.
visited several OF the Monitors during
the morning, when all expected to renew
the conflict at one O'Clock, and all were in
high glee at the prospect, and full Of conf
dence that the cracked walls of Sumter must
yield under a repetition of the pounding it
received on Tuesday. Confidence was every
where felt. The gallant Fairfax, of the
Nantucket, asserted that he had put twenty
seven OF his immense projectiles against and
through the walls of Sumter: and was conf
dent that if all would do as well in the at
tack they were then momentarily expecting

were signalled back and forward during the
whole action in such a nervous manner that
they were kept idle most of the time they
were under fire. The Patapsco, Captain
Ammen, fired twenty-seven shot and the
Nantucket twenty-one the Weehawken
fired twenty-seven times the Nahant,
believe, fired nineteen, and was in position
within four hundred yards of the fort. The
other Monitors fred from seven to twenty
guns. The Ironsides fired but six guns at
Fort Moultrie, and was at no time nearer
than eighteen hundred yards of Sumter.
The Keokuk fred but three guns, the rid
ding she received having silenced her guns
and rendered escape necessary almost as soon
as she got under fire.
THE ARMY RETIRED.
About eight thousand troops were landed
by General Hunter in the Stono simutane-
| ously with the appearance of our fleet before
CHARLESTON. So soon, however, as Admiral
Dupont abandoned the naval movement
these troops were withdrawn, and are now
on their way back to Port Royal. The
| troops landed on Seabrook's Island, at the
mouth of the Edisto, have also been taken
back to Port Royal Thus ends this farcicaI
attempt to take Charleston by land and
water.
| STILL BEFORE CHARLESTON.
AT sunset this friday evening the feet
still holds its advanced position, within two
miles of Sumter. Nothing has been done
to-day, the same slowncss in getting away
from here being evinced as there was il
getting here.
The flag Of truce from Charleston OIL
Thursday was to convey a requistion from
the captain of the captured steamer Isaac
Smith on the Admiral for money, which wa
of course sent to him.
The explosion of the Keokuk will doubt
less take place tomorrow.

SATURDAY, APRIL IS, 1868.

eY" The PEACE PARTV.-It is well
known that the rebels refuse to make any
peace that will not secure their indepen-
dence and separation from the Northern and
Western States. With full knowledge of
these facts, the Peace party amongst us are
willing to accept their propositions and end
the war upon such terms. And what would
be the result of such a coward!y and vii
lainous peace Why, the North would
have to pay the whole expense of the war.
Our farmers, mechanics and others must be
taxed to pay the enormous expenses which
have been caused by the South alone. On
the other hand, if the Southern rebels are
subdued, as they will be, the greater portion
of the debt can and should be paid by them.
A moderate tax of four or five cents per
pound on all cotton exported, would alone
pay the interest on the debt. The greatest
sufferers would be the English, who deserve
nothing better for their support of the rebels
in their piracies, and running the blockade.
But this view will not suit the peace
party" and hence such papers as the Nor
Mumberland Co%nty Democrat and other
papers of that character cry out foace peace,
when they know there can be no peace
except on the terms proposed Ivy the rebels.
Out of a tender regard tor the rebels, they
would make our farmers, mechanics and
business men pay the expenses of the whole
war. Will our people countenance such
infamous propositions to accommodate a
few designing politicians whose object is
