XAt CSIO IT MCT B rKE'KaVRU. Jack itOXDAT MOHXINO. MAY 2.1 ICecklet acrlflceof Life. Tk telegraph states that the withdrawal of BcTixft' arts from ita advanced position to our ntrcccbstota at Bermuda Hundred cannot b regarded aa a dafett. It i stated further that "the oljeci aimed at wai fully attained, acd wai deciel upn by Bctle even if b'a whole command had to be a?rifieed." What waa tht object? Ilneflj to mak a di tfraion In fator of Grant. The country wa dTiaed. through ht-h official poore. tht BcTW had ao array sufficiently ntrorg to lkt Richmond while Gat as engine, Lie In fact It wai given ont through the aame channela of informitton that Bctlie would occupy the rebel capital vn the 16th Inat. Iotead of accomplishing th it orject we are now told that the Per.ir.noUr army, eistj thousand strong, were Mi;:! to withdraw to the entrenchments at Bermuda Hundred. Th referse cannot be regarded defeat, and the apolo;T i that it waa only eipected that I'ctlkk would keep the ene my engaged around KichmtMi'I, ao a to prevent supplies and reinforcements reaching Ltf. To accomplish thia object the Administration and General Bltlkk were willing to acrißce ixty thouaand wen, for that ia the number, to the telegnph täte, of the Army of the Peninsula And beeaoe these sixty thousand men bare not all been sacrificed, and General BrTLia has been able to reach hi fortifications, hence his reverse must not be regarded as a defeat. We aslc the country to look at the entire indifference with which the men who now have the control o public aflYira regard the lires of the gallant sol diers who bare responded to their call for the avowed purpose of preserving and maintaining the government. The ajology for the reverse of Hutl ehow a heart!esnes and recklessne which are with out excuse. The blunders and incapacity of a mil tary leader, costing the sacrifice of thousands of valuable lives is made to appear a necessity which never existed, and is an after thought to excuse the failure of a campaign which bad different Dorpose in view than those now nuted and which mipht have been auccesaful with compe-! tent generalship. Complaining from a llepublirau Source. ' ' The Cincinnati Gazette ia not satisfied with the Administration. In nn eh"orate article in IU isue of S4turday last it complnins that the actual results which the country h id the riht to expect would follow the emancipation proclamations have not been attained, and it plce? the responsibility of the failure upon the shoulders of Mr. Limcolx We copy two extrncts from its article to show that we have not misstated the poaitiou of this loyal paper. It say: The emancipation proclamation put a weapon in the har.ds of the enemy, North and South, while it did wt emmrjpite a single alave. The measures t.-iken thus far for its execution have ben the continuation of srrf.lra by military force, to await the time when by a loose system of restoration, the laveholding class shall recover the control of the State. As in it remarks: "The people must inevitably come to the judgment of purposes by results; and a conviction that their earnest patriotism has been betraved by Indirection In the conduct of affairs, and that it la to be continually acrißced by unfaithful ubonlinates, will be dangerous not only to the success of the Government in the war, but to the re election of Mr. Lincoln, no matter what conventions may do, and most likelv to the election ofsnyloval man to the Presidency. All this danger Mr Lincoln has it in his power to remove by mkiit his Cabinet, his policy, ami all his S'.ibonüi.ites, in sympathy and earnest co-onera-tion with his declared principles and measures " If had made these charges against the Administration it would have been pronounced the quintessence of copperheadism, but a "loyal" puper can etnrge that the President has failed in his policy, and even intimates that the failure la owinjj to "disloyal" influences in the Cabinet and the trechery of Republican or "Union" subordinates in the employ of the Government, and the"lvalty" ot the paper is not questioned by the faithful. No Democratic piper ri said h.irsher things of the Administration than is contained in thv two extrat-Ls we give from the Gazette, but we presume not a word will appear in n:iy Kepub'icnn pspcr condemning this" ciiticisin of the conduct of "the Government" when its life is being threstened by rebel foes The Gazette is rilit in stating that the Emancipation proclamation has proved a failure There never was any lieeeity for it. It united the South, or the States in rebellion, while it did not consolidate the North It was a tub thrown out to the abolition whale, which even the better judtneiit of the President regarded as a costly amusement And no good cit zen will dis-ent from the proposition of the Gazette that the earnest patriotism of the people ha been been betriyed by indirection in the conduct of affairs. The hitory of the Administration from its organization to the pcetit time best attests the truthfulness of the conclusions of the Gazette. It has been a terrible failure.

"Th doctrine that State has right under the Constitution to lenve the Government at its own pleasure is a doctrine of suicide, and cannot b defended " Letter of Hon. D. W. Voorhees to hi j cocaiitueiitj. Taking the foregoing passage with ita context, there is no difficulty in arriving at the meaning which the author intended to convey. The deign is to affirm the abflute indi viaibiltt v of the Union formed under the Constitution of 17e7, irresec;ive of the wishes or the interests of the parts of which it is composed. The Union ia a legal trap into which there is frc-edora to enter, but from which there is no freedom to withdraw. Consent is exhaus'd by the act of going in; and the Dme "liberty," ii.ted of being dencriptire of any quality in our possession, is dimply a patronymic which we have inherited, without inheriting the corresponding attribute. The proceis of admission into the Union is one of emas culation: those who sre admitted becme thereby deptived of the emblems of that political manhood which can never be replaced, either in them selves or their posterity. The proposition of Mr. Voorhees which we have copied above is a study, and worth reading over and over again. s a lesion on psychology. It shows how instinctively they who have under taken to sustain an untrue doctrine adapt their premies to the exigencies of their argument. We do not suppose that, intellectually, Mr. Voorheea is convinced of the unsoundneas of his position; ud jet he. involuntarily perhaps, con fes-es its unsoundness by the fallacies which his su'.ement include. He places "government" exclusively in the central polity shutting out the biet that is exists in the States. He hides the idea that government is simply a reflection of the will of" the people, by making the only Government who-e exi-tence he recognizes depend' upon the Consritution. He places "government" upon one side, aud erecting a svm)ol ol dicontent which he calls "a State" upon the other, imagines; a lawsuit nn 1 decides in favor of the former. The central Government is everything, the people, their liberties, local polities, wills and interests nothing. States preceded the Union. They prececed it not only actually but logicallv not only intime but in authenticity and importance. The nearer the Government is to the peoplethe more fully it includes their interests, their avocations, their daily Iile, and their personal protection, the more essential and valutble it is to them, and the more tacred in it.-elf. The more spontaneous and less conventional it was, in its orig'i; and character growing out of facts and exigencies instead of compacts and deliberation the more authentic. In all these respect.-. iu time, intimacy, variety ot function, spontaniety and necessity, the local is superior to the central polity. If cither, irrespective of the popular cou.-ent, were lo be annihilated, no one can doubt th;ttthe inconvenience to the people would be infinitely greater from the destruction of the former, than from the dissolution of the latter. The Canstitution is the instrument under which the States may, not under which they must re main in partnership. There is no mu.t in the Constitution. There is no must in the inalienable rights of man to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. M in is man and thing is thing; and the true object of free government is to provide that the two shall in no case be confounded; that thing shall not be transformed into man. nor man into thing. This is done wherever law is set a.bove right, or constitution above hum mity. The day that government comes to have interests peparate Irom those of the people, or to exercise powers not derived from them or used expressly lor their benefit, the process of transformation has commence. The essence of a tn.iu that which distinguishes him from a thing is that he has a will. Liberty consists in leaving that will tree to act in all things which relate to the man's condition. To say that there h;is been est.ibli-died a government which put fetters upon the will is to say that man has been politically enslaved chattel'zed. Concurrent wills constitute power which htsever the right to act, through existing organiznions if convenient; if not, through such such as it may construct. This is all there is in State rights" The man underlies the whole; like the primitive rock of the geological system, he is at once the substratum and ihe summit, the shell of the interior fire, and the snow capped peak upon the tops of the mountains. His paramount Uw of conduct is the law of his own interesi; hts sole rule of restraint, th tt he shall pursue his intcrcs in such a way as to do no unnece-aary it-jury to the interests of others; the only standard lor the adme ksurenient of hi acts, justice; that justice whirh allows to others all the rights which he claims for himself. ll he, standing alone, dissents from the government under which he lives, and finds it intolera ble, he in iy relieve himself by expatriation. If he. with a in jor.ty of his fedow Citizen, dis-ent, they may employ tha proper means to work the desired ch mge iu the government; if he and the peopte of his State find themselves inconveni euced by a relation in which their State, as a State, is involved, they may decree a dissolution of those relations, ami carry it into eft'ecl. This is all there is in the matter. It is simply a question whether men, becoming parts of a free ttor ernment, lay down their freedom or retain it; a question which needs only to be stated to sug test the only an.wer of which it is capable. Mr. Voorhees beats the wind when he enies that "a State has n right, under the Constitution to leave the Governmen." There is no (iietion either of Constitution or Goverumet in the mat ter. To iiume a, he appears to da, that Con press and the I're.-ident ia nil Government; Ihe Constitution an inventory of every exisfiiig human right, and the Slates simply ubjects of Congress and ihe President under the Coustitu Hon, is a process which logicitus call beggibg the question an easy mode of argument, but one that waa never known to decide a oiepute betoud the power ol revision.

Gallakt Chaboc or Tax Home Gcakd I'aiLLiAT VicToaT Kmght ok the G. C, Lc On ti e 12:h dy of April, 1G4, the Randolph County Journal published, with a flourish of Uuoiuetü, pretended account of the meetiura of the Knijht of the Golden Circle in the ne:;hborhood of Emmetsville, in Randolph county, which it was alleged that Capt. J. K. Martin and some hon guards had valiantly captured at the house of C. II Cool, near Kmmetsville. This pretended record was forwarded to Col. Baker. Provost Msfshal of the State, and to Major Kinley. Provost Marshal of the Fifth Congressional District, for their inspection and advice in the premises, and they being satisfied, as it is said, of the genuineness of said pietended record, it was by the advice of the latter published in said Journal. It was copied into the Urion City Eigle, the Indianapolis Journal, the Cincinnati Gaierte.and perhaps other napers of the same type. Learned and most patriotic comments were made by these Republican editors to show that the Democrats of ibis portion of the Stale were engaged in secret treasonable organizations.and though t at last they had got the evidence of the fact so plain that no one could deny it. Alas for the instability of all things below! The atory which was so greedily received by the more fanatical portion of the Republicans, needed but to be touched by truth to show it to be a vile alander, without the least foundation in fact, and that it belonged to the category of Meal Tub and Rye House plots, with which history so much abounds. The Democrats residing in the vicinity of Emmetsville, whose names appeared iu said pretended record, knowing that the same was wholly false; and that they had never at any t'me been members of such an organizition, and that so far as they knew, no such organization existed in that part of the country, et on foot an inquiry to ascertain the facts ot the eise The true facts of the case were soon collected, and we give the subsunce ot them in this article, and he who after reading them still persists, for partisan pur poses iu giving;ircultion to the story, should be branded as a slanderer ana a disturber of the peace. The Mr. Cool, at whose houe the "capture" was made, has since left the couutry, and still leinains absent, but before going, and at the iiistsnce of several of his neighbors who desired lo know of him his reasons lor his strange con duet, he gave to them a statemeut in writing, at full length, drawn up and signed by himself, of II the tacts of the case so far as he had nnv knowledge of them. This wri'ten statement, now belote us, will be deposited in the hands of Judge James Ilrown, of Winchester, lor the inpeciiou of any aud all persons who may be desirous of seeing it. and satisfying themselves of its genuineness, and th.tt it is in the handwriting of Mr. Cool himself. Mr. Cool at the time of miking said statement in writing, also stated orally to several citizens of that part of the country the same facts as those set out in his written statement. Should this be denied we hold ourselves ready to prove them by the affidavits of as respectable and good men us live in Randolph aud Jay counties. It is due to the Democrats named in the pretended tecord Htid to ihe Democratic party, and to the peace and welfare of the country, that this statement of Mr. Cool should go to the public that thoy may be enabled to judge as to the true character of the evidence bv which the Republican papers seek to identify Democrats with secret political societies. The pper is too long for us to copy entire, and we will therefore condense it. The statement bears date of March 4, lfcG4 He begins by acknowledging a failing he has, that is a strong desire for illicit intercourse with women. That about twelve mouths before the time of making his statement he was tempted to try Irs power over a particular married woman of that neighborhood, whose name, for obvious lesson, we do not publish; lint he failed in his t ur.ose, and for a time abandoned the intrigue. After some time had elapsed he thought "from certain signs and actions on the part ot the lady," that the intrigue might be renewed and successfully carried out, and his purpose accomplished. btiebeiug an aboIiliouUt, he approached her on that tack, "by so doing," he sajs, "1 would be sure of her confidence. G lining hei confidence upou that point, it would allow me the greater excuse for more frequent visits, and the liberty to eek more private conversations. Having done so. I proflered her ray assistance in helping her to take her revenge upon those she wot hated, provide! she would prepay me in my wishes." "Tins arrangement," he continued, was entered into between her and myself on Friday, ihe day ot February, led. The plan was, I w to give her a letter upon that evening; she was to answer it as soon as possible, and by keeping up this correspondence we w ould set the trap lo catch her game. This privato letterwriting was c.irried ou until ceveral letters were exchanged I then thought afl'tirs had advanced far enough for me to be sate in calling for a private meeting I intended to h;ive nskid lor an interview that evening, but she was too fast for me; she handed me a letter tint Mime evening, in which she informed roe her hubatd might attend meeting that night, and she would Ulk to ine I called again elter meeting ii.td opened; she then s.iid if I would go around to the back door she would let me into the back room. I; done so, and she was there waiting. We were in the hack room perhaps an hour and a half, during w hich time everything connected with our all'.iir.- was clearly and calmly, and of course passionately discussed, I polling in- my most weighty pleas, and she putting in her most virtuuuk protect.' He did not then succeed, and at the conclusion of their interview, she "said there aas only one) way" for me to succeed; -od that w is. "I must i tell her all about the Knigbia of the Golden j Circle, their officers, members mimes. ps words, ' Sic' "I knew" be says, "this would be u diflicult payment lor oe ti) mtke, hiving no I know lede of auch an organizition in my neighborhood.

Ingolsby informed Cromwell that the Parliament Mas setting, and had come to a resolution not to dissolve themselves, but to till up theIIouc by new elections; and was at that very time engaged in delil)crations with regard to this expedient. Cromwell, in a rage, immediately hastened to the House and carried a body of three hundred soldiers aloru: with him. Some of them he placed at the door, some in the lobby, and some on the stairs. He Srst addressed himself to his friend Sir John, and told him that he had come with the purpose of doing wht grieved him to the very soul, and what he had earnestly, with tears, besought the Lord not to impose upon him; but there was a necessity, in order to the glory of God and the good of the nation. He sat down for some time and hoard the debate. When the question was rcadv to Ik? put he said to Harrison: "This is the time. I must do it." And suddenly starting tin, he loaded the Tarliment with the vilest reproaches for their tyranny, ambition, oppression and robbery of the public. Then stamping with his foot which was the signal for the soldiers to enter, "For shame," said he to the Parliament, "(Set vou gone; give place to honest men; to those w ho will more faithfully discharge their trust. You arc no longer a Parliament. I tell you, yon arc no longer a Parliament. The Lord hath done with you. lie lias chosen other instruments for earn ing on his work." Sir Harry Vane exclaiming against this proceeding, he cried with a loud voice "O! Sir Harry Vane, Sir ILirrv Vane! the Lord deliver me from Sir Harry Vane!" Taking hold of one by the cloak, "Thou art an mittlrerer," said he; to anothef: "tlwu art a drunkard and 0 glutton;" and then "an extortioner" to a third. II? commanded a soldier to seize the mace. "What shall we do with this bauble? Here, take it away. It is you," said he, addressing himself to the HoU'C, "that have forced me upon thi. 1 have sought the Lord, night and day, that He would rather slay me than put me upon this work." Having commanded the soldiers to clear the hall, he himself went out last, and ordering the doors to 1 locked, departed to his lodging in White-hall. Humes' Ihstnnj of Engbind, Vol. 5. SXEERS AT THE CöSSTITCTIOX IN THE SEXATE. Judge Collamer. Senat r f. ora Vermont, is one of the few statesmen left of the Clay and Webster school. In the matter of .ability and experience in public life he leads the present senate. From his seat in that degenerated lody he lat week testified to the character of his partisan compeers in these words: "I do not wih to occupy the time of the senate by making- any remarks on the constitution ofthe United States. I think it a subject almost of derision here with many gentlemen it is an object of dcrwon. A man is sneered at for mentioning the constitution, and if he has a decent respect for it and for his own oath he is called a 'timid' man. I do not wish to take np much ofthe attention of a body where such a subiect is treated in such a manner." No man of intelligence will deny the justice of this rebuke. And yet these men who daily sneer at the constitution who habitually deride the only and the fundamental law of oar Union claim to lc the exclusive friend of the covernmont and arc sustained ii their works of blasphemy and ruin by a majority of the people of the northern states! Olt Abe's Last Joke We do not know what joke Old Als? made whenhc heard ofthe surrender of Plymouth. In regard to the Fort Pillow affair he made a Uuby speech, but no joke. Ilia Iat joke, of which we have any knowledge, occurred when Secretary Chae was starting on hi trip to New York. "Old Abe is like Cromwell, without hi millitarv cemti, and i very fond of playing practical jokes ujon his associates. It is said that after Cromwell had igned the warrant for the execution of King- Charles be turned round to one of his colleagues and smeared hi face with ink. This he thought capital fun. Old Abe's jokes are of about the same quality. When Chae called upon him to say good bye, the secretary of the treasury akcd for some information ahorxt the probable end of the war, saying that it wonld help him greatly in petting more money in Wall ftrrct. "Do you want more money f asked Old Abe, and then quickly added, "What! has the printins machine pin out?" This joke is fullvcoual toCromwcllV. AMUSEMENTS. M i:T ll Oi'OIil T 32 A L li.
