Fernando Wood.

Fernando is a peace man. In letter
to meeting held recently, he said, "let
US declare for peace and against war. :"
Can this be the same man who two years
ago addressed his fellow citizens in Union
Square, New York, in favor of the con-
tiict which had then been inaugurated by
the firing upon Fort Sumter? He then
said:
l throw myself entirely into this contest,
with all my power and all my might. * * *
We must stand by the government, we must
obey the laws, we must respect official author
ity, we must respond with alacrty to the calls
of patriotism, and, SO long as we may have the
strength, support the Constitution and the
Union. l have no hesitation in throwing
whatever power l may possess in behalf of the
pending struggle. / am prepared to
say here and through the press, to our friends
of the South and before that (rebeD flag shall
float over the National Capitol every man,
woman and child would enlist for the war.
The New York COmnserciM Advertiser
said Of his speech:
The speech, which was in words fairly up
to the intensely patriotic standard of the meet
ing, was warmly applauded throughout and at
its close, Mr. Wood, quoting and using the
language of Senator Baker, called upon the
public to proceed to conquer peace" The
Elk Mayors views have changed since this
speech was made, and it is very evident to all
who read his letters and addresses, or who un-
derstand the company kept by him.

General Van Cleve,s Staff.

The Cincinnati Commercial contains a
letter from its correspondent in VAN
CLEvE's Division of the Army of the Cum
berland, from which we extract the fol-
lowing:
General Van Cleve who is now in command
of this division, was formerly Colonel of the
Second Minnesota Regiment, of which 1 have
so frequently spoken. The General was wound
ed at the battle of Stone River. On his staff
are names well known to thousands of your
readers, Wis Captain e. A. Otis, A. A. G.;
Captain D. Haney, A. @. NJ; Captain L. H.
Drury, Chief of Artillery; Capt. j. G. Strange
A. c. g.; Captain G. A. Scheate, Captain r. F.
Murdoch A. C. NJ. Major s. d. Turney, Med
ical Director; Captain G. B. Harrison, Adju-
tant General; Lieutenant Ed. Noble, A. D. C.;
Lieutenant H. d. Williams, A. D. c.; Lieuten-
ant H. D. Sheets, Ordinance Officer; Captain
Startling, Typographical Engineer; Lieutenant
E. G. Sinks. A. O. NJ. You will perceive that
our noble hearted fellow-citizen, James E.
Murdoch, has a son in the list, and, Also there
is grandson of General Harrison upon the
staff Captain Drury, Chief of Artillery, is a
regular old typo and editor, has ',jefed" for
the lemonade lots Of times, and says he is

are ready at all times, (of which he has eigh-
teen) capable of knocking rebel matter" into

of the State of New York, at their meeting in
Albany. In a series of resolutions they reaf.
tirmed the positions taken by the State Com
vention last fall. They declared first that they
will sustain the Government with men ard
means in the prosecution of the war by all con-
stitutional means, believing that Instrument
furnishes sufficient power for that purpose:
second, that while they were anxious that peace
should again be restored to the country they
were opposed to settlement on any basis that
does not restore the whole country under the
Constitution as it Is and denounced all and any
attempts to bring about u settlement on dis
solution Oh the Union; and said they had no
more confidence in the ability of the present
Administration to bring abouta peace beneficial
10 the whole country than experience has
shown they had ability to wage a successful
war. They opposed the peace movement fear
ing that the party in power would take advan-
tage OF such 4 movement as preteXt for dis
honorable peace; they denounced the system
OF arbitrary arrests on the ground that it eStab-
lished an unsafe and dangerous precedent
one that would be ruinous to the country.
They also indOrsed Governor Seymour's late
letter. Here is ground which conservative
men can stand upon with honor. We believe
it represents the feeling OF the people
As matters stand, we view it to be as certain
as anything can be, that the duty of selfpres-
ervatiOn requires further war; that duty to
country cannot be discharged but by supply
of men and means to carry it on. We cannot
but think. therefore, that the regular Democrat
ic State Convention of New York acted Justly
and wisely, as true men and true patriots, and,
we repeat, laid down the ground that not only
Democrats, but all who contributed to the last
fall victories can stand on and win fresh victo-
ries for their country. Indeed the fate of the
nation depends, under God, ON the thorough
union of conservative men, with the object in
view of winning back first the States and then
the nation, from the dominion of radicalism
that threatens to Overwhelm our rights, liber-
ties aud prosperity. Is the course laid down by
this PEACE Convention calculated to promote
such union? In view of the Unreasonable
interests at stake, we cannot suppose that con-
servatives can design to divide, and thus to de-
feat, this only party OF the country But we
are certain that this is the direct tendency of
this Peace Convention; of the course laid
down; and hence we implore conservatives to
follow the course so admirably recommended
by the regular Democratic State Committee,
until the National Convention meets

THE WEEKLY PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT.


The disastrous results of the assaults on
Vicksburg and Port Hudson bring out in
the strongest light the wisdom of MoCLEL-
Lam in not attempting to carry Yorktown
in the same manner. Because General
MCCLELLAN did not.rush on similar bloody
business, a host of Abolition scribblers and
orators let loose all manner of stuff to
poison the public mind against him. After
the Vicksburg repulses, spades have been
sent for! Would that the brave General
GRANT had exercised his own good judg-
ment and RETAINED from this murderous
work. But it was not possible. In his
rear is the Secretary War, with his
anti-stragetic letter unrecalled. In his
rear is also the same reckless, heartless
faction that is absolutely murderous in it's
demands and commands on our noble SOL
diery. But they are not worse in military
affairs than they are in civil affairs. The
counsel of this faction, if completely fol-
lowed, would render this country mass
of ruins. God give the people the wisdom
and the firmness to turn from them with
lOathing,

The latest accounts from Cherbourg,
France, state that large reinforcements
are leaving there for the French army in
Mexico. The transport frigate Eutepre-
naute was under orders to sail for Vera
Cruz on the 23d ult., with fifteen officers
and four hundred rank and file, together
with several naval officers and large
quantity Of ammunition. Gen. CoURToIs
RoUssEL D'HURBAL, of the artillery, is to
60 to Mexico to replace the late General
VERNHEr DE LAUM1ERE, killed in the
trenches before Puebla. The second bat
terry of the third regiment of artillery,
forming part of the garrison at Vim
cennes, left Paris on the 18th ult, by rail,
for Cherbourg, to be embarked there on
the first opportunity for Mexico.

Gen. Thomas w. Sherman.

The New Orleans correspondent OF the
Herald, it a letter dated the lst inst,
gives some interesting particulars of the
terrible assault on Port Hudson, in which
Gen. SHERMAN was severely wounded:
All accounts agree in stating that the attempt
ed assault on the left was most desperate The
bravery exhibited by the 9th Michigan, 13Sth
New York, Second Battalion Zouaves and the
Second Native Guards, was never eXcelled, and
butOeldom equalled. The assault was led by
w. T. Sherman, commander of the division, in
person. and it was here that our greatest loss
occurred. When the detailssof this affair are
given to the public they will afford one of the
most brilliant chapters ever written in military
history, so far as the bravery of the assaulting
column is concerned. have it from authority
that cannot be questioned, that Gen. Sherman

Gen. Penn berton.

When the rebels became aware that
Gen. PEMBERToN had failed in preventing
the attack on Vicksburg from the rear, the
bitterest denunciations were launched
against him by the rebel press. In answer to
these assaults, we find in tie rebel papers
the following speech made by him after
the repulse of GRANT on the 22d ult.:
You have heard that was incompetent and
traitol, and that it was my intention to sell
Vicksburg. Follow me and you will see at
what cost 1 will sell Vicksburg When the
last pound of beet, bacon and flour: the last
grain Of corn: the last COW, and hog and horse
and dog shall have been consumed. and the last
man shall have persisted in the trenches, then,
and only then, will sell VicksburS.
1t must be acknowledged that PEMBER-
TON has thus far made an obstinate defence
and justified tie favorable opinion enter

clined to i!'e heliet, however, that he will
succuIlb ivl.g before "the last horse and
dog shall have been consumed, and the

trenches. ~

The New York Press a Unit for
Liberty.

The leading editors of New York city,
irrespective of party, held meeting on
Monday last, and asserted the right of the
press to criticise freely and fearlessly the
acts of those charged with the administra-
ton of the government and of their civil
and military subordinates, and that any
limitations of this right, created by the ne
cessities of war, should be confined to To-
calities where hostilities exist or are threat
ened.
This emphatic utterance, we believe,
will be needed by the administration, back
edFas it is by all the respectable journals
of the country, which merely reflect the
popular sentiment that sweeps through
all classes of citizens, and in one voice
addresses itself in warning tones to the
President of the United States. 1t is no
party voice, no political clap-trap, no cry
of demagogues which now goes forth; it
is the utterance of a free people, united in
sentiment, united in defence ofancient prin-
ciples Of liberty, of which we, before all
nations on earth, are the defenders.
One after another of our most sacred
rights had been stricken down by the in
famous Stanton and his military satraps,
until all the old landmarks of liberty were
well.nigh effaced. Whoever dared to warn
or demonstrate, was denounced as disloyal
Backed by miserable horde of wild ia
natics, who were continually clamoring for
victims to their insensate party hate, it
seemed as if there was determination to
drive the people into rebellion, or AFFECT
acquiescence in despotism. But happily,
the dreadful alternative was averted by
forbearance. The crisis, we trust has
passed. The soundest men of the domi-
nant party shrink back with horror from
the votex into which they were being
drawn. Party differences have vanished
in what is felt to be national peril, and
all are uni ed to defend the principles of
constitutional liberty.

Feer OF Raids In Georgia.

The rebel papers publish proclamation
from Governor Brown, Of Georgia, calling
upon the people to "organize military
companies of volunteers, infantry and
cavalry throughout the State, at least one
in each county, and more where the pop
ulation is sufficient, and to arm themselves
with the best weapons they can command.
AT present." says the Governor, 81 have
nothing but knives and pixies to give, but
I have appealed to the Confederate Gov
eminent to return part of the arms in it's
possession belonging to the State of Geor-
gia, and / trust its response to my appeal
may soon enable me to arm all who vol
unteer." This action is suggested in view
of the danger of raids from Federal cav
airy. The Governor continues:
l address you with more than usual earnest
ness, as l am satisfied that never since the COM
mencement of this struggle has the danger to
our State been so imminent. Heretofore the
din of battle has been heard in the distance
and has been echoed among us only in the
heaving bosoms of the bereaved. Now the
thunders are rolling towards our borders, and
the storm threatens to burst with fury upon our
heads. In solemn adjuration, therefore, pray
you to prepare to meet and withstand it.
The Governor also announces that he
has received dispatch from General Jo-
sEPH E. JOHNSON, commanding the army
in Mississippi, stating that he is informed
that number of stragglers from the army
are reported going east through Georgia,
especially the northern part, and requests
all commanding officers to have them, Off
GERS as well as men, arrested and sent
back to jackson, employing for that
purpose associations of citizens as well as
State troops"

MIR. Seward on Free Speech.

In the United States Senate, on the 9TH
day of August, 1856, Mr.. VIM. H. SEW
ARD, the present Secretary of State, de-
livered a speech in which he asked the fol-
lowing questions:
Where on earth is there a free government
where the press is shackled and free speech is
strangled?
When the Republic of France was first sub
verted by the First Consul, what else did he do
but shackle the press and stife speech?
When the second Napoleon restored the En-
pire on the ruins of the Republic of France,
what else did he do than to shackle the press
and strangle debate?
When Santa Anna seized the government of
Mexico, and converted it into dictatorship,
what more had he to do than shackle the press
and stide political debate?
The above questions, propounded by
Mr.. SEWARD some years since, are very
pertinent now. The destruction of the
press and the right to discuss, with the ut
most freedom, all the measures and acts
of the administration, is the first act to-
wards establishing a despotism.

Eive-'gsyenty United States Gold
RgONGS.

Messrs. THOMPSON Bros. are receiving
large subscriptions to these excellent secu-
rites. Those who contemplate investing
should recollect that the limit for subscrip-
tons is the LIST of July-designated by act
of Congress-and cannot be extended be-
You'd that period. In proof of this, we
quote from letter of JAY Cooke, ESQ.,,
United States Loan Agent at Philadelphia
"The last clause of section 5, of act OF
Congress to provide ways and means, &C.,
provides that after the 1st of July, 1868,
the right to exchange United States notes
into bonds, as by acts of February % and
July II, 1862, shall cease and determine. +"
So that parties who wish to possess these
six per cent. bonds, interest payable semi
annually in gold, must take them before
the LIST of July, OR run the risk Of paying
for them, after this date, probably six to
eight per cent premium.

The Negro Troops at Port Hudson.

An assault upon Notifications is the
most desperate work to which soldiers can
be put. The assault upon Port Hudson
seems, from the accounts we have of it
to have been made and withstood with
singular obstinacy and bravery. In this
hot work the Second Regiment of Louis
lana Native Gnards-a black regiment
took a prominent part, and the colored
soldiers bore themselves so CALAMITY that
the correspondent of the New York Her.
AID writes:
1t is said on every side that they fought with
the desperation of tigers. There are incidents
connected with the conduct of this regiment
that have raised them very much in my opinion
as soldiers After firing one volley they did
not deign to load again, but went in with
was all up with the rebels.
The correspondent OF the 1ribune
writes:
The Second Regiment Louisiana Native
Guards. Col. Nelson attracted great attention
for their undannted bravery. Their bearing
upon this occasion has forever settled in this
department all questions as to the employment
of negro troops.
The blacks led the assault at one point;
and there the combat appears to lave been
hand to hand, and of The most severe char
acter OF nine hundred men in the regi-
ment only three hundred returned alive
and unhurt; six hundred were killed or
wounded, So say the published accounts.
Gen. Banks speaks to the same effect, and
gives the credit to the colored regiment Of
having behaved in very gallant manner.
