WASHINGTON, July 28.-Ths mail
steamer John Brooks, arrived here this
morning from City Point, which place she
left yesterday morning at 10 o'clock. At
that hour all was quiet in front of Peters
burg, but on Tuesday evening move
ment of the rebels was discovered, which
although not fully Developed, indicate
thai they were attempting to flank Gen.
Buffers position on the right, or were
endeavoring to gain Harrison's Landing,
for the purpose of getting in his rear.
| The Star learns that the proper DISPOSE
ton of troops was Immediately made to
check them and find out their intention.
Artillery firing commenced at the Point
of Rocks early in the evening OF Tues
day, and continued all night. Our in
fantry, batteries and gunboats were said
to have been engaged, but most OF the
6riug was doubtless done by the gunbosts.
Fighting was also going on near Ber-
muda Hundred, aud it was reported the
rebels were posted three miles from that
place. as

For several days past the rebels have

on Richmond from that quarter, and the

an attack on Fosters position, to antici-

Is THIS TREAsoN?-We find in re-
ports of Congressional debates the
following:
"Mr. Garfield said he remembered
when two armies stood face to face in
the west that, under a white flag he
went up to the man in the uniform Of
the Confederaey and reached out his
hand, and told him he respected him
as a brave and honest man. Though
he wore the emblem of disloyalty and
treason, under his yestments he be.
held a brave and honest SOUL"
This blatant "loyalist" here boldly
avows that if he met Buckner, or John
son, or John Morgan, he met brave
and HONEST people. How tender he
is! How complimentary lie is. Would
it do for a Democrat to expatiate SO
eloquently upon the courage and hon
es,y of rebels in arms? Would it not
smack of Observation-Disclosures
man.

More Intoleraace.

A few days since Mr.. Long, MEM
Der Of Congress from Cincinnati, made
a speech in the House, giving his opin-
ions of the present war policy. And
because his opinions disagreed with
those OF Mr.. Colfax, the Speaker, he
IlColfaxl introduced q resolution to
expel Mr.. Long from Congress-
Was ever intolerance and tyranny
more bold? Because a nan cannot
see and think just as the party in pow
er sees and thinks, he must be pros
cribed and treated as an outcast and
enemy to his country. If man is
not an ultra Abolitionist, and fails to
endorse every act of the Administra>
ton, he is at once the object of bitter
and malignant persecution, and
worthy of expulsion from his rightful
position, where the people placed him.
Yet, people call this a free Govern
ment! Like the play of Hamlet with
Hamlet left out, this may be a free
Government with freedom left out.

BALTIMORE. April 13.-Mr. Pendlston
SAID he would not reply to the charge against

| These considerations do not tonch the mar

not only the personal interest OF Mr. Long,
not only the personal relations each OF US

The President has issued his Proclamation

He replied at length to the speech of Winter
Davis, showing that without fair delibera-
ton there could be no safe legislation, or Tree
government, or wise measures.
In conformity with his declaration tbs

introduction of Mr.. Chase's financial

withdrawal of the local bank issues is
not going to do a particle of good so
long as the national banks are ready
to pour their currency into all the
channels of trade. If Mr.. Lincoln

Ha7s~ Gen. Butler has just furnish
ed another instance of the truth of the
proyerb that 1.-TWO of a trade can new
er agree by depriving a lying scamp
named Charles Henry Foster of his
shoulder>straps. This person was a
lieutenant colonel in the Second North
Carolina, and is understood to be the
author Of most of the false dispatches
which reach us from the Old North
State, through the medium of the AS
ISOLATED Press. He claimed several
times to be a member of Congress
from North Carolina, but the House
committee proved his claim to be a
fraud. The Washington Chronicle
gives the following account of his ad-
ventures in the capital:
"He had with him an admirable
witness, named Carpenter, to swear
him into Congress, Carpenter and
Foster had written a series of highly
interesting letters for the New York
Tribune during the summer of 1861
FROM various points in North CARROLL
ma. In them glowing particulars of
"Colonel' Fosters popularity, his tri>
umphant election, and of his raising a
brigade of loyalists, were given. These
letters we're written with the best in
tentions in the world, viz: to encour-
age the spirit of the nation, and to fill
up Congress with good men; but, un-
luckily, the curiosity of Mr.. Dawes,
the Chairman of the House Commit
tee Of Elections, spoiled the pleasant
romance by eliciting the confession
from Carpenter, under oath, and from
Foster upon his voire dire, that the
we're not written in the State
of North Carolina.
These letters in the Tribune, by
the way, were widely copied, and help
ed to feed the insane decisions of the
Republicans that North Carolina was
ready at any moment to return to the
Union. Whatever the motive, But
Ter has done a good thing in clipping
this Fosters wings. Let the Associ-
ated Press give him a wide berth here's
lie has been allowed to hnm-
bug the county with his villainous in,
ventious long enough.-[N. Y. World.

question:
"What do you mean, Horace, by
writing daily articles to prove to the
people that the war must be vigorous

prove that 'the restoration of the old
