integrity. In short MAnoNY is one of a
class Of northern men who are devoted
body and soul, TO slavery. They stood
by II in the strife of parties, and they
now stand BY II in the strife of armies
They were for the government when
slavery ruled thehation-lhey are aga
inst the government when slavery is in
arms against The nation On the side of
slavery, in their view, are arrayed all the
virtues Of civilization-all The elements
of great national life. To oppose
slavery and treason, in the language OF
MAnoNY, is to degenerate into the de-
basement Of barbarian seJaom. To be
for treason, as is DENNIS MAnoNY and O.
H. p. RoszELL, is to be noble. TO be
for the government, for the unity of the
nation, for the integrity of the conslilu
ton Of WASHINGTON and JEFFERSON, is tc
be barbarian serf. Was ever a GOV
eminent forgiven by poslerlty for letting
such men go unhung?

The Tory Programme.
ELI PEAsE.

After general pilgrimage to Spring
field by the Tory conspirators Of the
West, (including d. A. Mahony,) and a
general consultation, plan of operations
has been agreed upon, and officially an
nounced IN The Illinois Legislature. Last
Thursday the Committee on Federal
Relations in both Houses introduced res
olutlons substantially justifying secession.
They declared that the Union has no
existence from coercion that when the
provisions of the Constitution are sus
pended. IN war or peace, North or South,
that is dlsunion that The Constitution
cannot be maintained, nor the Union
preserved, in opposition TO public feeling,
by the coercive power OF the General
Governments that in case OF difference
or conflicts between States and the Fed
eral Government, too powerful Tor adl just,
ment by civil departments, the appeal is
not TO the world, bat 70 the people peace
fully assembled in conventions They
oppose arbitrary arrests say soldiers
have been deceived 10 the object OF the
war; say the Northwest never shall be
separated from the Mississippi valley !;

The Blood of Revolution.
ES' RoszELL, in last weeks Civilian

70,
says;
= 10 continue the war during the two Years
necessary TO overthrow, pedcdbly, this party of
discold (Rerublican) is but worse than use
less waste of blood and treasure"
RoszELL is evidently, like MAHoNY, un
willing to await the time when the ad
ministration can be peaceably overthrown.
He doubtless agrees with his Saint, Ma,
HoNy, that the blood Of revolution will
affect the desired consummation sooner.
MAHoNY, in a letter to the Herald, dated
Pittsburg, 31st ult., says:
You may be prepared to hear that the
blood of revolution flows, at any moment, for
unless the people have become entirely lost to
sense of their rights as freemen, and the dan
gers which threaten their liberties, they will
not much longer tolerate the usurpations OF
power which have been so common at Wash
ington and so alarming throughout the coun-
try I advise the people of Iowa to prepare
for the work Action cannot delay much long
er to conform to sentiment. One rash act OF
the Administration will light the fire of civil
war in the North and from its past course, IT
is not very rash to Judge that it will commit
that act Be ye in Iowa, therefore prepared
for the worst. Those of you who may think
me an alarmist have but to study transpiring
events to arrive at my conclusions. Prepare
and by preparation, mean organize yourself
YES, in such q manner as TO act when the time
for your action will have come, as it soon must
unless reason and common sense shall resume
their legitimate influence in the councils OF
the Gov eminent"

many parents have sent away an only
son, in answer TO their coutry's call and
many others, like myself, have given up
all our sons to fill the army, TO sustain
the government, and TO crush wicked
rebellion. But we have cause TO fear
that it will be in vain that their lives are
jeopardized in high places, or sacrificed
on the bloody battle field, unless we
humble ourselves as nation, and turn
from cur evil ways. The judgments OF
God are upon us, because we have be
come a wicked people. Ii is more than
time for us to break off our sins by
righteousness, and our niquiles, by
turning unto the Lord. Among our
numerous violations of the Divine com
mands, Sabbath dissertation has become
a prominent, leading and growing sin in
our land, involving us all in its national
guilt. The common people and civil
rulers have their share.
Our military commanders, who have
required, CT permitted, the violation oil
the Sabbath in our armies, are very
criminal in this thing, and we have
reason to expect defeat, or disaster, 10
our troops, as just rebuke for this trns-
erosion. 1t is hoped and believed, that
your important order, Of Nov. 18th, as
Commander in Chief, has done, and will
do, much 10 restrain and remove this
great evil.
1t is a truth ever to be remembered,
that those individuals and Nations, who
honor the Sabbath by keeping it holy,
the Lord Of the Sabbath will honor with
his blessing and those who desecrate
this sacred day, will assuredly bring on
themselves the Divine rebuke and dis
pleasure. We have thus transgressed
and, whiie there IS a hope for oar country,
we should put away this sin from us
with slavery, profanity, drunkenness,
and their attendant vices, lest they
bring upon us the wrath Of the A lmgh-
ty, TO our destruction. We ought sure
ly to humble ourselves as a Nation, and
ask for pardon. And | would, for my
self, and in accordance with the long
chelis desire Of many others, re,
spectfully request you, as our Chief
Magistrate, to appoint and recommend,
a time for public humiliation, fasting and
prayer, that all people may have an op.
portunly TO unite in public confession,
and penitence for our sins, with humble,
earnest prayer for Divine mercy, and
deliyerence from present and prospect
i've evils. Let not the day be too far
distant lest our case become hopeless,
and our destruction sealed, before we are
prepared, unitedly to ask, and receive,
and from the Lord o! Hosts, the " God
who judgeth in the earth"
Humiliation and reformation, with a
consequent blessing from on high, are
the great lhings we need, and unless these
are experienced, we shall, bring on our
selves fearful destruction, or prolong a
wre,ched national exstance, in course
of wickedness, and inevitable degrade
ton and suffering, which will form a
miserable counterpart 10 our former ma
tional prosperity and happiness.
Please TO accept, Dear Sir, the assur-
ance Of great respect, with an earnest
desire for your personal happiness, and
public usefulness, in the high station in
which you are placed.

CAMP REED, NEAR JACKSON, TEYy.,l
Jan. 2lst, 1863.
FRIEND RICu We are yet in camp
here. Since | wrote my last, there has
been nothing TO cheer US. Even the
greater light made to rule by day, has
refused its presence. Dark, gloomy
cherries clouds have overspread the sky,
shutting out cheering rays Of wholesome
light. The nymphs have gained full
possession of this land. They sit en-
throned on vast clouds summoning TO
heir p:es nee every aid in old Aquarius'
department.. The Storm King rules,
greatly at the expense Of our Army
The location Of camp is a fine one in
dry weather, but now, Oh We Gods !
Our tents are placed on side bill, which
is thoroughly soaked, rendering il deci,
dedly unpleasant, but the boys of the
9Th are getting quite accustomed to un-
pleasant living, and consequently take it
uncomplainingly. We are doing moth
ing here to expedite the war, as | can
observe Most we do is to guard each
other, sometimes little secesh, and oc-
casionally go on foraging expeditions.
W Il
am frank to say | would like to move,
and from all | can see, from which it is
proper to Judge, think we shall move
shortly. The breastworks of cotton, at
Jackson, are being tom up and shipped
away, and soldiers are leaving on almost
every train. 1t is reported that Jackson
is TO be evacuated, and that this whole
country hereabouts is 10 be abandoned
There would be many exultant hearts if
such should be the case We want TO
be little handful in that grand army
chat shall move irresstably forward to
shatter the de(ences Of the Gibraltar Of
the West. We are anxious to be present
at the grand battle soon TO be fought at
Vickoburg, and from all events we may
be there. The place, which, il taken,
the .supercllous Jeff declares would sew
er in twain the Confederacy, for which
they must all fight as the last hope Of
deliverance, must be torn from Rebel
clutches, and the rotton wreck of aris
tocracy hurled beyond the confines Of
freeman's country, never again to raise
its detained head. Vick,burg shall be
ours, and the pride of our nation be rem
dered permanent and lasting Our rights
are to be vindicated ere long, and woe to
that man at the North who gives all TO
The enemy here. Could Indiana soil
be made the battle ground for two great
armies, she would then know
how TO prize the blessings Of peace
Better far die here, than have the war
carried to our land OF Iowa There is
much dissatisfaction in the army, not
because Of the struggle for liberty, but
because Of the poorly conducted plans.
Soon, | hope, our efforts will meet ;he
long earned prize Of decided victory.
The boys are all as we'll as could be
expected under the circumstances Capt.

PHILADELPHIA, April IA special dispatch
to the Bulletin says the news from Vicksburg
and vicinity has an untavorable aspect. Dis
patches received here state that the expedition
through Steeles's and Black bayou into the
Upper Yazoo, is failure. Admiral Porter
succeeded in getting through both bayous
with the gunboats and proceeded 25 or 80
miles further in Deer and Rolling Forks,
when he encountered a small force of rebels
who so annoyed him with sharpshooters and
Instructions in the channel, that further pro-
progress was impossible without the co-opera-
ton of the infantry which came up next day.
The enemy had in the meantime put trees into
the stream, making it impossible. They an
noyed the gunboats otherwise, and seemed to
be gathering in considerable force.
Reinforcements of infantry were marched
to the assistance of the boats on Monday.
Coming up with the beleaguered boats they
found them hemmed completely by obstruc-
tons in front and rear. Skirmishng contin-
ued all day, when, the rebels being reinforced,
the gunboats were withdrawn and commenced
to retreat, the whole force having embarked
on transports near the head of Black bayou
for their return to Young's point. The feder-
al loss is ten or twelve killed and wounded,
| including Mr.. Sullivan, an engineer, killed by
a she'll. The rebel loss is unknown, but is
supposed to be considerable.
