The New York Tribune, reiweiienting the radical Republican, 1 very much trouhletl over the meeting of tlie Democratic mentlera of Congress, which wai also attended by most of the member from the Jlurder States, called fur the purple of reorganizing the Democratic party. The object ia certainly m patriotic one, and no Republican should object to it who believes that the purpose of the war should be con lined to the restoration of the Union as it was and that the Constitution sIhjuM continue the supreme law of the laud. This is a platiorm upon which all . patriotic citizens cati stand and unite for the preservation and perpetuity of the Government. But this rcsu't the Tribune and that acliool of politicians d not desire. They fear, and they so say, that the Democratic party upon euch an Issue will be restored to power to (juote the language of the Tribune, such a position will so direct the prosecution of the war that it will give "a military candidate to the Democracy, and a Democratic President to the restored Uuion." The sole purpose of the Democratic caucus referred to was to unite the conservative sentiment of the country in a vigorous and determined effort to restore the Uuion aud constitutional liberty.

Th city is filled to day with painful rumors of reverses to our arms at Winchester, near Harper's Ferry. The official bulletin published this morning, contains tlie bare announcement that, in ad ditton to the battles of Saturday and Sunday, another desperate engagement look place yesUrday (Monday), in which we lot ten men killed and a distinpuished officer of the Topographical Kngineers taken prisoner by the Confederates; while their loss is not slated. It is addH, however, that we pained another glorious victory. All the facts connected with the-e three engagements, however, have been carefully upjses.ed, and every avenue of information m strictly guarded by a file of soldiers. It is impossible now not only to communicate facts that have become history, but even to ascertain those lacts. If any possible good should result from such superabundant caution the newspa pers would have no cause of complaint. But it has been demonstrated that the enemy do not get their intelli pence of paasiftg events, and intended movements, and movements in preparation from the newspapers, but from other sources far in advance of even the most enterprising journals. The New York Timet, a dsy or two ago, in a lending editorial article, said that it wai notorious that the plans ot Gen. McClellan, or at least the movements indie itive of his plans, were shown to the rebel leaders as soon as they were made. And it is true. The result of this keeping newspaper correrpondents in the dark is that the town is tilled with rumors, and it is impossible to tell how much of them are true. It is ecn nt once that the stories of the "otlicial bulletiu" do not h.ut well together, and that they are, thetcfote, unre liable. It was stated in regard to Saturday's

battle that it w as a mere fekiriuish, in which the rebels took to flight in an agony of terror. Yet on Sunday they had Bufliciently reentered to lie able to put the mettht ot our soldiers to a pretty severe lot. Sunday's battle was represented as a mere holiday tik on our side, in which the Scriptural prophecy wis litertlly fulfilled: "A hundred shall kill a thous.tad and u thousand shall put ten thousand to tlight." Kight thousand of our men, it was said, had enugrd and put to tlight fit teen thousand of the enemy, chasing them from Wlnchestei to Strasburg, whence they tied in precipitation to Mount Jackson. Yet triebe fleeing rebels, it stems, doublet aud came back yertenlay, having "iuii away" only that they might "live to tiht another day." The, quidnunc hate it that these ll lining clhcial bulletins, like tho-e i.-stied after the battle of Bail's Bluff, are only intended to cover up some nrious reverse. How much wier would it be to let the pimple truth be know n. The project of setting free all the slat -s in the District ot Columbia, under the flimsy pretext of compensation totheowners (300 each for negroes worth $1.000, who bring to their inaaiur liom $:i0 to $50d annually.) received a stunning blow in the Seriate yesterday from Mr. Salisbury, of Delaware. Alt honor to lite men who iu this dark hour of our national history, when the fabric of constitution tl libel ty is Leiii uudecuiined by traitors in the gart of Senators, have the courage to protect at least (they h ive the power to do no more) against the deed. For it is a fact that one by one the provisions of the Constitution are being set aside by the dominant party. First, by tlie wple (as Wendell Phillips well calls it) of emancipation in the txjider slave States. Then, by the passage of the bill m iking it felony for any oliicer in the United Spates nnuy to execute the fugitive slave law, viol it rig one of the solemn principles of the compromise of l?äb. And now, by alxlifliinj; alaveiy in the District, they seek to violate another. All the acts, too, are i:i direct violation of the pledges on which Ue Kepublioan party came into power. Of the four thousand slaves in the District, fully halt are old and infirm, und young children. The support ol these, when emanciMled, will fall upon Congress. Their condition can be well imagined. The tax bill, already partial, and unjust in all its provisions, is every day becoming more so under the tinkering it is receiving. Tho obvious principles of justice and expediency have been entirely ignored by the committee, whose eifoita have been devoted to the task of making the bill ns unjust and oppressive as possible, while, at the same time, the taxes are laid upon those articles which will yield the least revenue. The tax um newspapers and advertisements is only a specimen of the ignorant blundering displayed in tiie concoction of the bill. Articles of luxury are very lightly taxed, while those who use them would not feci a heavy tax; while articles witnout which the poor man's family cannot live in comfort are heavily taxed. Think of taxing umbrellas, parasols, hoop skirts and petticoats! Think of taxing the old mm's salt; and vet laving so light a tax on the rich man's wine that he does not fee! it. Think of reducing tlie tax on tobac. co ami on billiard tables (the tax on the latter has been reduced to $10 a ye tr, when they can wella'l'ord to pay $3ü,) and laying it heavy on (lour. 1 hink of taxing gas, and taxing pleasure carriages aud fancy lion.es so lightly us to be scarcely nny tax at all. For these and other equally wise measures the present Congress will go doa u to posterity with com and execration. The country owes a debt of gratitude to the Hon. W. A. Richardson, of Illinois, who remains at his se.tt in Congress, preferring "to tight the battles of constitutional liberty" here than to accept the appointment ot Brigadier (ten era I tendered him I.y the IVeidcnt. "Old D.ck" has servel his country faithfully in the field. His deeds of gallantry and bravery in Mexico are recorded in history, lbjt he has a harder fiht before him here than he had on the plains ol Clmrubusco. He und the gallant few who still cling to tlie Constitution as the fathers made it are bat tlin; ahipM hoie!e!y against an unprincipled .and unscrupulous m ijovily, who hate both, who repudiate the former, and hj are unwilling to sr e I lie litter restoied. In leod, the Union ;is the ftthers nude it can never bj restored, unless lt:c'rtrdson, Vollief-, Cox, Stulsbury, Carlile, Willty, Harding. Pendleton and the other Demo eratic members, can succeed in stemming the tide of fanaticism until the next election tor members of Congress. The prediction m y be stt'ely made that when that event takes place the people will hurl from their seits their servants here who hate been fo unfaithful, and witi fiil their places with men who have been educated to worship the Constitution.

P. Morton. As the communication corrects sundry misstatements that have been circulated through the newsparers concerning our regiment, I most respectfully request that you will give it a place in your columns, and that other papers in the State friendly to our regiment will copy the same. Respictfully, yours, 4c, Johjt P. DrrrrcT, Capt. Co. U 30tU Regt. Ind. Vols. corT.J Camp Ajtdt Jomsos, near Nashville, Tenn.,) March !25ih, lbQ2. $ Hon. O. P. Morton, Governor of Indiana: Sir: The undersigned commissioned oßicers of the 1st Irish (35ih) Regiment Indiana Volunteers, beg leave most respectfully to euter our solemn protest against the appointment of John K. Ba'fe to the oftice of Lieut. Colonel of this regiment. The undersigned did yesterday petition Major Balfo not to accept the appointment of Lieut. Colonel of this regiment, stating as a reason for the rwjue-t (hat we did not consider him qualified to discharge the duties of that office, and

that iu consequence of this belief, we were unwilling to serve under him while acting iu that capacity. The undersigned would most respectfully state

that we constitute all the company officers now present with the regiment; that perfect unity of sentiment and feeling exist among us; and that we hate t ery reason to believe the company Hirers ah-ent think and feel as we do on all subjects which concern the welfare of the, regiment. In order that your Excellency may understand the motives that govern us in taking the action we do, the undersigned will avail themselves of this opportunity to make a few statements of facts, which we hope will correct any false im pressions which may have b'M.m made by mi.-re presentations circulated by malicious persons to the discredit of our commanding of!u;ex.and the regiment with which we have the honor to be connected. Your Excellency will pardon us, if for this (Mirpose we enter somewhat into detail, particularly w hen we assure you that we do so as an act of justice to our regiment. Your Excellency is undoubtedly aware that much has been paid through the newspapers at Indianapolis about the discharge of certain officers of our regiment from the military sertice of the United States; and that Col. Walker's ollicial conduct in connection with those discharges has been censured by persons w ho had little means of informing themselves correctly of the meriu of the questions involved. .The undersigned have every reason to know th.it Lieutenant Colonel Ryan was not cited to appear before a Military Board for examination, by any report made by Colonel Walker to DeCtttment headquarters, but that the onier citing ieut. Col. Hyaii for examination was issued without any previous notice of the fact being given to the Commander of our reg'ment. Many of the undersigned have heard Colonel Walker say, time and again, that he did not desire that any Captain of our regiment should be cited before a Military Hoard or discharged; but when a Captain did not possess much military knowledge or military talent, it was absolutely necessary that he should have the support of good Lieutenants. Of the Lieutenants that were reported by Colonel Walker for examination by a Military Board, t so were reported for that purpose by the Captains of their repedive companies, swid two w ere reported by the Colonel from Capt. Tobiu's company, for the purpose, if possible, of giving the Captain such efficient aid in the management of his company as might enable htm to have it creditably drilled nnd disciplined. In regard to Colonel Walker's nction as a member of the Military Board, the undersigned can say that the Colonel expressed grett annoyance at his apMintuient, nnd earnestly urged upon General Wood, then commanding at Bardstown, that he would apply at Department headquarters for his (Colonel W.'s) relief, which re quest was refused It is a well known fact, however, that Colonel Walker was excused by the President of the Military Board from taking part in the examination and from voting in those cases where officers of his ow n regiment were concerned. The undersigned would further state though they do it with the utmost reluctance that sub sequent events have uroved the wisdom of the citation of Lieut. Col. Ryan for examination by a Mi.itarv Hoard, und the propriety of his Iis charge. Yhile. as is well known. Lieut. Col.

Ryan is a gentleman of intellect and education, et en is have proved that he is utterly deficient in military talent and destitute of the military taste essential to the qualification of himelf for tesponsib'e milUary duty. To sustain this statement the undesigned will reluctantly cite your Excellency to a very few incidents in the history of the Irish regiment. When our corps was ordered from Bardstown to B icon Creek, Colonel Walker was confined to his bed by sickness, and as a consequence the command devolved upon Lieutenant Colonel Ryan. The march of the regiment was little better than the march of an organized mob. But little effort was made by either the Lieutenant Colonel or Major to preserve order or discipline cn the march, and tlie condition of the regiment was humiliating to the company officers. In disobedience of written orders. Colonel Kvan con-

' ducted the regiment directly to Munlordsville I instead of to Bacon Creek. The latter part of

j the inarch w as made in such a manner that the i

i command came into Munlotdsvilie more like a 1 b md of stragglers th in an organized regiment. Most ot the wagons and camp equipage had been i left behind, and several days were required to collect the same together. A large number of the men w ho could not be provide-1 for by their company ofheers in stibles and out-houses, were

1 compelled Ut pass an entire night without shelter j ' . I . . I Ii.....: :.. .

r;ei iu a com aim ue.uiuj; ram, w consequence of which unnecessary exposure maffv were mule sick, and now remain behind the regiment, the i

j inmttes of hospitals, and two of which belonging I i to Captain Dennis's company have since died. ! j As a specimen of M-ijor Halle's capacity to i ; commiml the regiment, tht undersigned ill call 1 i tiie attention of your Excellency to the following j ; incidents: j ! While the regiment remiined at Munfords- , , vd'e. Colonel Walker wns detached from it as '. commander of the Post. On one occasion Ma- ' jor Balfe, who was left in command of the corps, ; j cau-e I a false alarm to be given during the night, ; aad caused the bittaiiiii to i:ish.;rge their' p eve-, in pal.V le violation of military law. t Oa another occasion, the Major took a large ' number of the i llicers, including the officer of t'ie i gu. rd at the hi I ge over Gieeu liver a most re- , ' sponsible p t and the bind of the regiment, on , ' au excursion to Mimmoth Cave, all without leave ' of ab-ence. j When tlie regimer.t started on its march to ' : Nashville, Colonel Walker's duties as a com- i j minder at Munfordsvil'e. requited him to remain I for a few days at his post. The march of the regiment Iiuru Munlordsville to Bowling Green. ; : unier the com mind of Major Balfe, was even j worse th m its march from Hard town to the latter places, no order or discipline miintaiuM i bv the commuidihg oilioe, and anarchr and' . , , contu-ion reigned trnimphint.

In oruer tn.it your EiceUenev may understand that the Irish re'uient i composed of no worse material thn that which enters into tlse composition of other tegiment. but, on the cwdraiy, that it possesses the e!e ments w hich constitute it a first class corps, when . in charge of a good comraandet-, the undersigned

would inot lespectfully direct the attention ofj yotr Excellency to a few facts in juxupohitioa to . those related above. . j The march of the regiment Irota Louisviüe to : ' BirJs:own was made under the command ofj Colonel Walker; perfect order prevailed in the j ! regiment on the entire route. We arrived at ; Bardtownifi the best poihle condition, and were unit ersally complimented for the fine ap pr.rance of our corps. During most i f the time J that we were located at Bardstown, Colonel Walk j i er was on detached duty yet he gave persona!; ' attention to the internal'manage ment of the regi- i j ment, and, as a convenience, good discipline and ; ierlect harmony p-. evaded in our camp. The j rth regiment while B-irltwn, tinder thedi I

cipline enforced by it Colonel, earned for itHf the reputation of tiie best, the most orderly, and the most reliable jegiment among the many that1 wer tatioi.eü at tht post. At Bowling Green Col. Waller rejoined his regiment, and, in a shorter time thin anv one supposed it could be done, iccoustrut te I the poutoon bridge acios the river, and conducted the march of the regiment to Nashville iu as j-erfect order and with as little difficulty as he couducted it from Louisville to B-irdiiown. Our regiment is now brigaded, and our men are in fine condition for action in the field. As already stated, per feet harmony exists among the officers and among the men, with the single exception of tlie disslifaction which has been occasioned by the appointment of John E. Balfe to the Lieutenant Colonelcy of the regiment. Judging by the past, we have no retison to suppose that the Colonel of the regiment may not at any moment be placed on detached service, and we feel it our duty to say to jour Excellency, in most explicit terms, that we are unwilling to he commanded on the march or in the field by M-j. Balfe. In addition U this fact, Col. Walker, we are informed, has tendered his resignation to the Commander of this Military Department. It he insists upon the acceptance ot his resignation, the undersigned will, in justice to themselves, tender their resignations also. In conclusion, the undersigned officers of the Irish regiment feel it our duty to say that we are in all respects perfectly satisfied with the personal and official conduct of our commanding officer. He has discharged the duties of every position in which he has been placed faithfully and efficiently and, we are iuformed, to the satisfaction of his superiors in command. His bearing towards the officers of the regiment has been universally courteous, und we have never heard of his using harsh language towards the men under his command, or of his doing anything that could be considered oppressive. He is as humane an officer as we have ever seen, and we are happy to bear testimony to the fidelity he has exhibited in protecting the health of the men and providing for the physical comforts of the regiment. We express it as our bincere conviction that nine tenths of the regiment have perfect confidence in the capacity of Col. Walker, and that they esteem him personally so highly that they would not exchange him if they could for any other commtnder. In view of all the-e facts, the undersigned do most earnestly request that your Excellency

actuated as we know you will be by a desiie to promote the efficiency of our corps will annul the commission of Lieutenant Colonel issued to Major Balfe, and cause Capt. John G. Hughes, in whose capacity we have perfect confidence, to be aptaiinted to that office. We will add that it is our sincere conviction that thete are not ten men in the regiment who desire Major Balfe to command them in any capacity whatever. Respectfully submitted. John P.

The Cincinnati papers can't be reconciled to the treatment Phiilifisecmeil hi that city. Well, it was all wronjj. of course, but tlie venliot of four-fifth of the United States is served hi tu right. The truth i, Phillips' antics just now, w lien th rame of blood nnd uirering ia jzUi on, are tho.-'e of a monkey in a china shop. The public instinct ia shocked nt such an exhibition. Blood and treasure are flowing, and jibes, je.t, nii'l Hipoant rhetoric on impracticahle theories are awfully out of pl.ice nnd out of t:ite. Free speech aye, tree speech; we lmve heard a teat ileal of that; hut when words cost blood, we don't admire their freedom. Phillips mi?tep regents the free States, and tlie fake impression his tirade have made still nerves thousand of r.rtns to ti;ht against the Government. Do the people of the free State, who are pouring out blood and tte;iMire to restore the authotity of the Ciovernment, want the difliculties iu their way augmented, by deepettinir the false impression of their leins nnd purposes? One speech of Phillips' scattered through the South will cost ii.il lions of treasure, and hundreds of the live? of son nnd brothers in the free States. Ijouigtille Democrat.
