INFORMATION WANTED.

ADs
No people on the face Of the earth
seem so ready to be hrmbugged by
quacks and impostors as the American:
Quacks in patriotism, quacks in states.
manship, quacks in philanthropy, in
morality, in virtue, in political truth
and integrity have more reputation and
receive more consideration and respect
than the men whose advice if needed
would have saved our naticn the dis.
grace and humiliation to which in the
eyes of the world it is reduced. Those
who for the last quarter Of a century
have denounced the Union without stint
because they despised the constitution,
are now vaunting their deep reverence
and devotion for the Union. So dis
interested are they: that after securing
to themselves and friends all the offices
of trust and emolument in the country,
they absolu'ey y aid IN the formation of
"Union Leagues" ignoring party en-
tirely, and calling upon democrats to
unite with them in the patriotic object
Of perpetuating their tenure. As the
generous and spontaneous outburst of
patriotism that cannot tolerate any
opposition to thcneelvcs and the adj
ministration, they absolutely form secret
societies ali over the land to perpetuate
the present state of things, and declare
every man q "traitor.', "secessionist."
and a ''copperhead," not agreeing with
them. These no-party- -partizans hold
their midnight orgies, deluding and
hoodwinking some weak Eneed or sore
headed democrat into their scheme of
voting iato Office none but "Loyalmem-
bers of the Union League" And so
bare faced are they in their proceedings
that they proceed after ignoring party
entirely, to call Republican county
Convention for sending delegates to
the Republican State Convention, at
which to nominate candidates for those
democrats joining these Leagues to
support. The democrat who has not
natural shrswdness enough to SEQ the
fraud and the cheat they are practicing
under the cloak of virtuous patriotism
is just where he should be. That they
will be called upon to vote for the most
radical men belonging to the republi-.
can party, at this falls election there is
no more doubt, than that they will cheer
fully do the bidding of their masters.
They are used by the Republicans,
who see themselves floating out into
the great ocean of oblivion and i.famy
to swim ashore on.
Now we should like to know why
these 'Union Leagueists" who are too
pure and patriotic to be partizans are
sending delegates to a Republican
State convention. The whole thing is
a fraud, lie, and cheat.

The Approaching Campaign.

All reasonable men have come to the
conclusion that another year of war, at
least, is before them, and perhaps more.
The peace delusion has blown away. Meth
er from foreign intervention, nor from the
imperious DEGREES of King Cotton. nor from
the imagined friendship Of the Northwest,
nor from the stupid rumors about the de-.
moralization of the Yankee armies, does
any hope of peace dawn upon the lsnd.
We must fight or submit. What balucina-
tion soever may be cherished by politicians,
the soldiers in the field want to know, aud
want to be told, the plain truth, and the
truth is that We are right in the middle of
the war. and during the spring and summer
the war is to be more fierce and unrelenting
than ever before. The Yankee enemy is
only beginning to fight. To buy provisions
for the army at current rates would call for
the imposition of . great debt upon our
posterity, such as would cause our children
to cu.se US iu our graves.-Riehnsond E1-
aminer.

A Cairo dispatch, dated April 4th, says
BY arrival of steamer Bostona No. 2, we
have news from Young's Point to Thursday
night 1t is stated upon the authority of
scouts and deserters that the enemy moved
q large part of their force within the past
week from the Point to the rear of the
city, to meet an expected attack from the
Fcderals at Yazoo Pass or Haines' Bluff.
Yazoo city has also been formidably rein.

strengthened. The large guns formerly
used in the batteries along the river, in

of the canal, at high elevation, command

HOW TO MAKE A FENCE.

After suitably preparing the ground with
the plow, plant small cottonwood trees, three
or four feet apart. Between these trees plant
wild grape vines. From time to time, as the
vines grow to suitable length, weave them
together like network, and give them q turn
or two around the trees. After while perhaps
vine is not strong enough to resist cattle, get
one as large as your finger, and pull away at
it to your hearts content. All that can now
say is that l am making the experiment.
Perhaps you may hear the result after few
years. In the meantime, suppose you make
this OF some other experiment. W.T..

writing from Cairo. says: " recently had long

plantations, from an intelligent black who
both reads and writes, and who having been
with our army nearly two yeau. took pains to
inform himself on the subject. He says that
when our troops frat occupied Tennessee and
other slave regions, the slaves expected they
would be called upon to fight, and that
they were very anxious to enter the service.
When they were not called upon their ardor
abated, and they were directed by those Of their

and increase his forces. He would do both.

The most startling feature of late South.

Southern Peace party, led by Henry s.
Foote, the editor of the Richmond Whig,

Mitchell denounces it. The Enquirer's
course is disapproved BY the money lend

ance with our hopes and expectations, Colonel
Anthony has been chosen Mayor Of this city,
by the largest majority ever given. The ma
jority is about IA. 1t is an unmistakeable
index to public sentiment in that place, for
everybody knew the Colonel to be, as the Con-
serratiue states it, "our most radical, most
abolition man." The Conservative styles it a
"Vindication of John Brown" and adds that
"Colonel Anthony never knew fear, and he
will make Leavenworth the most orderly city

Junction Citv, Kansas,
THE NEWS.

There is no confirmation, by the last mail,
OF the report OF the fall Of Charleston. We
publish elsewhere all that is known Of the
matter Yet there are those who believe it.
We are in hopes it may be so-it would but be
o step to other victories, which would speedily
result in glorious peace. Gold would then
come down to its real value, and the confidence
thus established would sweep the Rebellion
into the Gulf.
Admitting the report Of the fall Of Charles
ton to be false, the reports we have Of recent
elections throughout the North betoken the
unanimity of the people, and the death Of
Copperheadism St. Louis has elected a radi-
cal Republican ticket. The Republicans have
also carried Connecticut. Cincinnati also
elects straight-out Union ticket, as does also
Sandusky; indianapolis, and other parts of
Indiana, give large Union gains. In Missouri
gains are given the Union cause-Jeferson
City, Kansas City and Weston having wheeled
into the ranks Of loyalty.
The President has issued his proclamation
designating Thursday, the 3Cth Of April, as a
day of national humiliation, fasting and
prayer.

Rumored Capture of Charleston

ASNSAAVAS~A SoIVOAO Va VAAoA AOOVVAAs
The New York HeralGs Washington
special states q report has reached there by
the way of Fredericksburg, derived from
rebel sources, that Charleston was bom-
barded by our feet, and attacked by our
land forces on Thursday the I'd inst, and
is now in the possession of the Federals
under Gen. Hunter and Admiral Dupont.
This report is fully credited by promi-
nent officers of the Government, who are in
possession of facts in reference to the con.
templated attack on Charleston, but which
is not yet prudent to divulge. 1t is certain,
however, that those who possess this infor-
matioh are confident that our sailors and
soldiers will celebrate the second anniver.
sary of the fall of Fort Sumptcr in the cap
tured city of Charleston.
The restrictions on publications in South.
ern papers are so stringent that 1t Is not
expected to find much in them in reference
to the capture of Charleston until the dis.
aster can no longer be concealed, but reports
which have arrived at Washington are
definite and positive, and are believed by
those who have the best right to know what
foundation there is for them.
Another dispatch says that Washington
is nervous over news derived from rebel
sources, that Charleston had fallen that
our attack commenced Friday, and was
overwhelmingly successful.

Affairs in Richmond,

Paroled prisoners direct from Richmond
state that the actual want Of bread aud meat
begins to press upon the Rebels. Families
of the poorer and middle classes in the
vicinity of Richmond actually suffer for the
necessities of life. The regular army ration
with the rebels is twelve ounces of -four
aud quarter Of pound of meat per day.
Our own army ration is twenty-five ounces
of -four and pound and q quarter of meat
Union prisoners IN Richmond receive the
same rations as the rebel soldiers, and are
not permitted to purchase even bread in ad-
dition.
Released prisoners, just arrived in Wash.
ingtou from Richmond state that all that
buoys the rebels up now is the aid and
comfort which they receive from the DEM
onstration of the Copperheads, and the
belief that the North. West is tired of the
war, and will soon refuse to contribute
further aid to its prosecution. If once con-

rebel Government could not hold their army

six of the number arrived in Washington,
having been sent to Fortress Monroe under
flag of truce. The others, it is supposed,
escaped from prison. Since then, by re-
quest, the returned soldiers had an inter
:eresting interview with the Judge Advo-
cate, General Holt, and also with the
Secretary of War, in the presence of a
large number of army officers. The Secre-
tary presented each Of them with . medal,
such as was authorized by the late Congress,
for meritorious conduct, these being the
first bestowals of that character In addi-
tion to this, he gave to each of them .
hundred dollars, and ordered the payment
of the arrearages, and sum equivalent to
that taken from them by the rebels. He
also requested Gov. Tod to appoint these
men as lieutensnts in the volunteer service.

be brevetted lieutenants iu the regular ser
vice. They afterwards had an interview
