a friend handed us q copy of that
sterling, unconditional Union paper,
the Nashville Union. AS ususal its
articles arc full of barbcd and pointed
truths: directed at traitors, traitor
sympathizers, Copperhcads and Con
sCrvativcs. In an article ON the war,
it says it labors for results, and the
only question is by what instrument
they can be best affected. 1t speaks
thus of the arming of blacks:
"These Constitution breakers will
call it unconstitutional, these law
breakers will call it lawless; these
savagcs will .eXclaim at this as The
elimination of Federal barbarity
that a loyal slave should shoot his re
bel master. But what care we fol
this? Il If we were
to see a slave black as Ercbus itself
drawing a fine bead with a Minnie
musket upon the head of Jeil. Davis
we would lift our eyes to Heaven ant
fervently calculate: God speed that
bufet to the traitors brain We
are for results, and we want the help
of all men, white, red, black or yellow
who can 10y any means help us to ut
tain these results.

The Great Seeessionist is in Dixie
among his friends. The rebel papers
are advising him to run the blockade,
90 to Canada, Uia Cuba, and announce
himself as Democratic candidate
for Govcrnor.AWe hope he may fol
low the advice, and that the Copper
heqiefaction of the Democratic party
will adopt him.
Vallandigham will play a deep game
lie will announce himselfin the Soutl
as for the Union, and the rebels, by
arrangement, depuncc him, and il
may be, sham hobs will be gotten
Iup. His friends in the North viii
raise howl, in the hope that he may
be permitted to come home with tn,
odor of martyrdom clinging to hi'
garments. JEFF. Davis would mucl
prefer his being in the North, for here
he was of assistance to him, there h,

The Butternut papers are filed
with lamentations over the exile of
Nallandigham. TO read their howl
ings one would suppose that the per
son and property Of every citizen was
in danger--that there was hencclorth
to he no law but military law. Val
landigham was arrested on charge
Of disloyalty-was fairly tried, and
found guilty. Recourse was had to
the civil courts, but they affirmed the
legality of the arrest and refused to
interfere in the matter. Judge Leav-
tits decision ought TO be law to the
Democracy, who have always claim
ed to believe in courts.
We have just one word to say in
regard TO military arrests. 1t would
be idiotic on the part of the govern
ment, TO allow man or set of men to
advocate its destruction in the loyal
States. There is but little wisdom in
sending arms South of the Ohio 10
put down rebellion, and allow men
North to advise rebellion These men
have been trouhlcd-nouc others
In no instance has any man who has
not given aid to the rebels been mo-
Tested. Those who counsrlled armed
resistance to the government have
been arrestcd--and if every one of
them had been hung, ninc-tcnths OF
the people would have cried amcn.-
The shortest, cheapest and best way
to avoid trouble is to give the Gov
ernment the support it needs, and
must and viii have; to put your heels
on the necks of the disloyal tribe, and
conduct yourselves like patriots and
men. None such have been arrested
nor will they be.

Johnston, who with 10000 men is
seeking an opportunity to relieve the
beleaguered city. Grant has been
reinforced, d,Iand is abundantly able to

Treason in Illinois.

The Chicago Tribune says that the
plotters against the Government are
throwing Off all disguise, and in some
localities, companies of armed men
meet and parade in open day and in
popnlous villages, with the avowcd
purpose Of preparing for resistance
to the Government. In one county
some six hundred men recently as,
scmbled on horseback, ostensibly for
a political meeting, but really to drill
and prepare for war. Indeed, in all
the counties of the center of the State.
in which the Slavery party used
to look for and get its large majori-
ties, the boastlng that this war shall
not go on; that this Administration at
Washington shall be dispersed; that
Governor Yates shall be driven out of
Illinois; that the Federal taxes shall
not be paid; and that the Conscrip-
tion law shall not be enforced, is eve
rywherc loud and defiant; and the
preparations to make these words
good are actively and increasingly
going on!

a correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial gives some interesting
facts concerning the contrabands at
Corinth, Mississippi. There are in
the encampment some z, 400 persons
about enough able bodied men among
the number to make regiment
Several companies have already or
ganized, with commissioned of
iicers of white regiments us officers.
Chaplain Alexander is to be Colonel.
The organization of the regiment has
already been completed. They have
for some months guarded their own
camp. Every person about the camp
is required to work. They have
planted 800 acres of cotton and 10C
acres of garden. They have put out
10000 sweet potato sets, 10000 to-
mato sets, 10000 cabbages, 1,00C
hills cucumbers, 20 acres sweet corn
. acres Irish potatoes, acres peas
now in blossom, and several NOR,
sown at different times since; acres
beans, q acres onion sets, ,'and of beets
crcss, radishes and lettuce, now read,
for use, 8 acres. Each cabin has it,
private garden, and the officers o
camp have one also. There is ;
small cotton field cultivated by th,
school children, aud hospital gardcr
cultivated 10y convalcsccnts. Fo
their seed they are indebted to tn,
different aid societies. The contra
bands have also blacksmith shop, d
shoemaker shop, carpenter shop
and clothing depot. There are goot
worhmcn in each. The women as
scmble at the clothing depot to make
clothing for the community. There
is n school in which some five hun
drcd children are taught There are
four teachers now here, and two OF
three more are coming. The teach
ers are practical philanthropists who
receive no pay. Three hundred pu
pills have learned TO read. 1t takes
on an average, about six weeks fol
them to learn TO read in the first
reader. The establishment is by nC
means burden upon the govern
ment. According to the estimate o
Chaplain Eaton, there is Il positive
gain to the Government from the Cor
inth Camp of from $4,000 to 5,00C
per month above all expenses.

The Nashville Union brings the
negro question right home to the cop
perhcads thus:
1--WE are for the negro where he is
say the coppcrheads. Very well,
'copperheads, let us see where the ne
gro is. He is at work on rebel forts
and intrcnchments; he is on the plan
'tation raising meat and breadstufl,s
for the rebel army; he is in the factory
weaving butternut jeans for the rebel
soldiers; he is in the tOundries casting
rebel cannon; he is in shops making
rebel shoes, hats, sabres, boots, bri-
dies and saddles; he is in camp wait
ing on rebel officers: he is in the fort
working rebel guns; and he is in
guerrilla bands to murder Union men.
Had we not better take the negro into
our hands, copperheads, or do you
prefer to let the negro stay where he
is and aid powerfully in destroying
this Government.

CnICAGo, June 1st.--Special to the
Times from headquarters in the field
near Vickshmg the 23d, says but lit
tie has been effected for the last 3G
hours. Over one hundred pieces OF
field artillery and several siege guns
rained shot and she'll on the enemy's s
work yesterday. The mortar feet al-
so took position behind Desoto Point
and bombardcd the city the entire
day and night. Gen Sherman has
pushed Steele's division squarely to
the foot of the parapcts. Our men
lay in ditch and on steep parapet
outside one Of the principle forts, I'M
able to take it by storm and determin-
ed not to retire. Federal and rebel
soldiers are not more than % feet
I" art, both powerless to inilict much
harm. Each watches the other, and
Il dozen muskcts are fired the instant
n soldier exposes himself above the
works on either side.
Nearly the same condition ofthings
exists in McPhcrson's front, his sharp
shooters prevent the working of the
encmy's pieces in one or two forts.
a charge was made yesterday morn
inc on one of them by Stephenson S
brigade and repulsed. Two compa-
nics Of one regiment got inside and
a few got out again, but most of them
were captured. The forts are all fill
cd with infantry. Our artillery has
dismounted few guns and damaged
tho works in some places, hut they
are sti : strong. Gen. McClcnand
was hard pressed on the left yesterday
and sent for rcinforccmcnts. Quinbys
divisions went to his assistance Mt 4
O'Clock. The contest continued till
z o'clock. One OF our flags was
planted at the foot of the earthworks
outside of one rebel fort and kept
there four hours, but the fort was not
taken.
McClernand's loss is estimated at
1000 in killed and wounded. The
fighting grows moro desperate each
day.
Transports now bring supplies
by water, to within three miles OF
our right
Gen. Joe Johnson is reported near
Big Black River, in our rear, with
reinforcements for the besieged city.
Grant can detail men enough from
the operations here to keep Johnston
in check.

Court Journal, 'that as soon as the

MAJ. GEN. RosECRANs has issued IN
important General Order, recurring
all rebel officers now in his hands, OF
hereafter captured, to be closely con-
lined. The object of this is to pro
tect Union officers now in the rebels
hands, who are held by them as hos
tagcs for spies shot by order of Gen
burnside, or who are threatened with
death because of connection with ne
gro regiments. Captain Mckee, oil
Kentucky, is one of the hostages in
rebel hands. jeff Davis will come to
terms. This order also provides thai
officers hereafter rcsigning on the
plea or disability, are to be transfer
red to the invalid corps, if found, up
on examination, to be fit for that
branch Of the service. A very good
arrangement.
ACCORDING to official returns, Hin
ois has raised under the last two calls
an excess of six thousand men over
its quota. This added to the nineteen
Thousand excess under the previous
call makes total excess of about
twenty-three thousand. Besides these
about eight thousand Illinois soldiers
have enlisted in Missouri regiments.
y few districts are, however, deiic-
ient--Cook county, Chicago, being
seven hundred and fifty four behind
its quota.
a singular circumstance in the his
tory Of the rebellion, and additional
evidence of the straits to which the
rebels are reduced for supplies, is
furnished in the fact of which advices
have been received by the Navy De-
partment, that on the '25th ult., the
steamer Gladiator sailed from Liver
pool with 1900 barrels Of bread and
lob barrels of bacon, ostensibIy
cleareu for Nassau, but undoubtedly
intending - run the blockade OF the
Southern ports.
Large quantities of cotton molasses
and sugar, were captured by our

and his son living gnear Moent Vernon,
visited that place to transact some
business-the son wearing a Butter
nut emblem. Officer Welsh arrested
the son when the father interfered,
but he was also arrested and they
were both taken before justice of the
peace, who administered to them the
oath of allegiance which they took
with as much compiacency as the
circumstances would allow. After
this interesting and patriotic ceremo-
ny was performed the old man threat
ened to shoot officer Welsh, and en-
deavored to borrow pistol for that
purpose. He was again arrested and
was bound over to appear for trial
yesterday, the result Of Which we have
not yet learned. The affair caused

- town of Mount Vernon.
