Tss report of VOOBHECS' speech at Sullivan a few days since, and which we publish this morning, should be read by every Union man in the District. Sergeant BBOWH has given the points of the speech, and they should be noted by the constituents of Mr. VOOEHBES, He has gone farther than has FERNANDO WOOD or VAIXANDIGIIAM, and his record is becoming more shameful.

in their sovereign capacity assist in patting a good ticket in the .field. We feel assured in saying that there is not a Union Irian in the city that has any personal preference for any candidate but only fl^sir^s* to see good, loyal, true and honest men placed in nomination. ir

It is no.time to be talking -about party or party issues,—there is but OHO 'issue beforethe people aw? 'that is to save j,iie Government. We hope to see a ticket, nominated xepresentingUhe true Union sentiment of the city. Let us have some of Republican and some of Damooratic antecedents, and we know that none will be nominated but what have the Jefferaonian qualifications of "honesty anu capability," With such a ticket we will sweep the city like a whirlwind. -v,

.Hebcl Movements What they Mean. The movement of rebel troops towards *he coast, is a significant one, and involves an interest to the Confederate Government, of a more momentous character than that which lias hitherto pressed upon its consideration.

By grouping together, a number of facts and ovents which are before us and which the recent movements have brought to the surface, we are enabled to forecast, to some extent, the futurn conduct of tho rebellion leaders.

It appears that the Confederate Government is massing troops in all directions around New Qrloans. It is evident that city fs to be retaken if it be possible for the robel forces to accomplish that rosult. It is not altogether improbable that a desperate conflict may, at an early day take place there between the contending forces for the pos sostion of that city. But we believe the Federal forces amply sufficient for its protection. Should we lose it, bowoycr, with Forts Jackson and St Phillip in our possession, wo still command the outlets of the Mississippi river, and the Crescent City must at all events, remain closed to Confederate commerce. Tho movements of rebel forces in that direction, proves to thG observer that the rebel leaders understand that point well, and fully appreciate its importance. Tlioy are calculating at the same timo to wrest tho country from Fodcral'possession, between New Orleans and Brashcnr City, or Berwick's Bay, the terminus of the New Orleans and Opelousa Railroad, whero it onco connected with several lines of Occan steamships to Sabine Pass, Galveston and Indianola. Also, circumstances go to show that simultaneous movements will be made to expel the Federal forces from Ship Island, which commands tho shore line, of water communication between New Orleans and tho city of Mobile. These matters are oortainly worthy tho consideration of the Federal Government, and wo presumo the necessary preparations have, been made to thwart the execution of rebel movements aud plans in that direction.

But this is not tho only indication w'e have that tho object of tho Confederate power is to regain tho coast. Several movements of a similar charactcr aio taking place. The rebel forces aro moving from tho interior towards llis coast at Suffolk, Norfolk, and at Washington and Newborn in North Carolina, nnd wo know what has occurred at these points within the Inst two or three wocltS.

These movements and indications havo a doepcr meaning than might bo supposed.— TlieBG operations havo been commenced just at tho timo whert tho Confederal agents havo mado heavy sales of cotton In Euro" peau markets They aro mado at a time when there is a good prospoct for a rebel Navy to bo sent to our coast from British Navy Yards at a timo when the announcement is made that a squadron of British Btoam gunboats is about to be sold to privato contractors also at a time when two of tho Auglo-rcbel steamors havo boon launched one on tho Clyde aud ono on tho Tecs they aro mado also when the intelligence is received that crews aro being mustered for these gun boats by tho huudrod at Liverpool and at (irocuock they are mado, lastly, when privation and famine Are abroad in fearful aspect within rebel domiuious, making it a vital quostion that food must bo procured at some point beyond tho Confederate lines.

Upon

(be

examination of thoso facts and

.circumstances, it is hard to escape tho con viction that the moremonts of tho rebel forces toward the seabord at tho places referred to, »a for tho purpose of retaking their

Available ports if possible that their nonfleet is to hold them if taken, and destroy the blockade, and as a consequence enablo the cotton contractors to fulfill their obligations aud to mako a lurther loan an easy njatterThe Confederate Government must open old ports or mako new ones, or be driven to abandon its cause.

The

it this

movements

ered

rebel loaders aro

desperate in tho last degree, and will exhib

desperation iu their efforts to accomplish the dosigns of their recent movements. But if the Federal Government, does its duly well, as wo believe it will, its enemies will be foiled in their, undertaking, and the efforts will avail them nothing. The meaning

these

has certainly been discov

and provided for by the War.Department at tho proper time.

Gen. MCOLECLAN, used language which may be applied to the subject before us. Those over-cautious commanders, who-do not dare to make a dash at the rebels*1 lines of communication, may well take bis words to heart. "Are you not over cautious when you assume that you cannot do what the enemy is constantly doing Should you not olaim to be at least his equal in prowess, and act upon that claim

We ca|l the attention of our readers to the following order by General CABUIWOTON. It ia important, and we trust will .iueot the approval of all the .loyal people .of tho State. The press, without regard to party, should do its duty in/condemnation of the riots and disturbances which are becoming ao frequent in different parte.o/ the. State. Valuable lives have already been lost, and we fear the worst has not yet come to pass.

The order condoms the organization xif the Knights of the. Golden Circle, and the habit of wearing, butternut badges in ^truthful language. Its admonitions should be heeded. Tho following is tho order:

HEADQUA'RTEfcS DISTRICT OF INDRANA, DEPARTMENT OF THE OHIO. INDIANAPOLIS, April 19th, 18G3.

OliNBUAl. ORDER NO. G.

I. In thefaco of appeals to the people to givo up the illegal practice of wearing 990cealed woapons,, and to abandon secret and armed associations, tho practices continues. The inevitable result has been the loss of valuable lives. It is the clear .duty of every good cili7.au of whatever party, to maintain order and stop these things at once. It is as clearly tho duly of tho press to concur in such action. There cau be uo half aud half policy. No pa.rty can gain character by the recognition of such societies. 1 hey aspire to local power., independent of both State aud general government. They imperil, but cannot insure the rights of any.

II. Marked among such associations are tho Knights of the Golden Circle. Their oaths aro disloyal. Their signs and and signals aro disloyal. Lot all cahn and reasoning citizens who have entered their lodges ronounco them. They havo met with arms in their hands, They have guarded tho approach to those meeting with armed sentinels. They havo used their influoucq to protect desertors. They have passed resolutions to defy United States law aud (ho Government of. tho United States which protoct them. They who shall still adhere to their obligations and continun t!\oir secret drill are denounced as public enemies, to be dealt with as such.

III. The habit of attending public meetings armed is another evil too comujou and porteatous of mischief. Let every citizen go with the right temper lo his political mooting, uor fear that any will interfere with his rights, nor. doubt that ho will bo protect ed iu their enjoyment. But it should novcr bo forgotten that iu Limes of public peril it becomes tho absorbing interest of every citizcu to subordinitio everything to the general good, and direct all party issues so that the preservation of the Government iu its integrity. ,nnd .entirety shall bo unqualified and sure.

IV. In .Lhis pnnncution let if.jiot bp forgotten that violent partisan harangues do no good,, but. iinhitler all other issues. Emblems. .that in other times might be adopted at pleasure, only incite animosity whou they are borrowed from SHOII as are recognized by rebels, and had their origin with thu firstprisoners brought to tho north I hey, from their dress, wure denominated '^B|U(eruuts." They early adopted tho Copperhoad upon their banners, and it is still maintained upon the flags of several rebel States,

It is a very sliyhl sacrifice, to forbear their use as a party emblem, whou it is undeniable (hat (heir early association with the rebel cause has given them a character which complicates relations and p.irty, and creates constant conflict and alarm in more than half tho couutit'S of this at He. Their uso gives no prestige to. the, party with which their wearers"assume to identify themselves, but compromise it with tho people.

V. Will leading men, and the press, of all parties, believe that the commanding oflicor of this District trgly represents his government and theirs, in expressing his purpose to regard the rights of, all, while holding absolutely and unqualifiedly to the maintenance of qur common country For inen who plot ojjr oyerthrpw, tlu'r^uis but ono issue. Wii.ii this, naithor of the leading .political paities^,410 charged.— Of this- Lhe Ki.ights of the Golden Circle, iu their leadois, aro, guilty. This appo&l, preceded by repeated notice of their .existence and aims, and, while denouncing them, is coupled with the earnest hope that all good men will unite in the objects expressed, toadhero to the habits of pe*«« and forbear the uso of words or emblems that embitter parties compromise,, or outrage .the loyal SQMtiroenta of any. .,

Treason in Pennsylvania. A precious nest of Copperhoads has -just been .unearthed in Berks county, Pennsylvania. On Thursday, Philip Hubor, Dr. Augustus F. Illig, Gabriel Filbert, and Harrison Ovensides —theUrSt named arrested by Detective Lyon at. Reading, and the others by Detectives Sharkey and Schuyler at Starkstown, Bucks bounty—were examined beforo the U. S. Commissioner at Philadelphia, and held to bail.

These. parties are charged with forming certain seditious and treasonable combination lodges or societies, the object of which is to create dissatisfaction with the Government of the United Statps, to resist and prevent the execution of the laws of the Unit6d States, and particularly the act'of Congress providing for a conscription or draft for soldiers.— Tho said lodges meet at night. The members pay.an initiation fee arid take, lin oath, tho tenoi1 of which Is ti resist the laws of tho country Those parties were first taken to Reading and confined in the jail there, when an attempt was made by a number of their comrades in iniquity to release theui. A scene of great excitement ensued, and a riot threatened!

From the evidence it appeared that Iluber was a ringleader, and his bonds were accordingly fixed at $4,000 for a further Hearing, those of the other? at $2,000.

Mr. Liyon, the dotoctive, testified that on the 21st of March he received information that (i.n^eeting was to bo held near Reading in a barn, and that he accordingly went to the'barn before tho doMguated hour, and concealed himself under tho straw. Shortly, after a party of men entered, Mr.: Huber among them, whom he reeogn.ed by his voice. There might have been one hundred persons there. Shortly alter entering the barn Huber gave orders to Search the build ing to to seo if. any person was there in tho character of a spy. Witness could not, tell who had spoken, being hid under the straw Mr. Hubor directed the men to run hay and straw forks through the straw, which was done, but without discovering the locality of the witness. They then placed what they called Ihcir pickets aiound the barn, and went into B-cret session! This was about 9 o'clock.. After the picket* were placed Huber. administered the obligation to a number present, aud did all the talklug himself ho denouueed tho war as uuholy, aud proceeded to spoak in *tron terms about the conscription, &c he siaid tho organiaatioji wiw, over ono- million strong, and .'started in the South ^thatthoy had signs, passwords, grips, &c. Tho wit ness suited ho believed some eighty thier persons .took tho obligations o.l the- society at the ipoeting jn question.., The.hiHoWiiig was tho obligation given after the qrgani zation had gone into secret se.-iun A ro you in favor of abducting Abraham Lin coin by force, if nocessuiy Aro yoii in lavof of a Northwest Oflnfederai-y Aro you in favor of resisting the draft or conscription aet In regard to Dr lltig, Filb}. and Ovcnsides, witness said he fpuld not siy pos itiv'ely that they were in I ho barn 1'ilblic meetings wore lield at a house,'and th« secret sessionp at the "barn. There waji na.reg ular discussion at tho harH mpoMng cicef^ the speech made by iluber.

Annecdote of it Bear.'

,K"-

The following annecdote goes far to prove that a bear has only room for one'idea at a time in ,li^s bead. A.party of overland emigrants on their way across the plains from St. Louis, Missouri, to El Passe, anil thence to California, had arrived aomewhore-oh the Green River. From this train a hunter had strayed off in search of game, and he came upon a bear in a creek bottom, who was up a pmsimmon-treo loaded with ripo fttiit, of .which he was busily eating, whilst a wild bW^cneath was reyelUng .in the overripe daimfes which fell in' showers from the old bea,*TTclumsy operations in the tree, ft was eyf&Bnt from the glances brflirt threw below from time to time that bo was jealous of the hog, and by no means.relished playing provider ovou involuntarily for the other and ho often expressed his displeasure by short and savage growls which ihe boar* only answered by an occasional satisfied.grunt.— Tne huutcr noted all these signs, and., saw that very little.qmrq, wjs.necessary to make Cuffee's wrath boil, over, which he would be certain to vent tifion tbo pig he therefore drew the buck-shot from One barrel of his gun, and substituted for it .a loa,d of-dost" shot, with which, from,his ambush, ho stung the bear pretty severely. Down came the bear instantly to Chastise'the bour for adding this injury to insult, fully convinced that the smart he suffered .was caused by tha pig.' The battle was a sharp one, though not of long'duration, and brtlin speedily killed hisi antagonist, but not'befoW the hog had inflicted,a mortal wound, by gashing open with his, sharp tusks, tbo, belly ?f .his opponent, who speedily bled to .death, "i'lius," said tho hunter, with pardonable vanity, "I killed a bear and a wild boar with a charge of No. shotj which I be'ievo nobody else has over done."

THI RKVKNUK,—-It may not.be well knowu that the.penalties for ueglecting or resisting theReynuc Law arc severe—thre^timoa tho original tai, or fiae or imprisouniont, or both. Many merchants and Bjani^facturers have, promptly complied with U10 provisions of the law. and therefore the few, who are dofiant or iiogligent, after the cppeated: warnings given them, should be punished.

are now asked to assist, by their contrabutidns, In establishing. A loarf is to be negotiated on the English "Exchange,1 for the sole purpose of rivetting the. fetters of the slave and establishing the military supremacy 0/ a slaveholding oligarchy. It is right W^pyak plhinly, ftfdtf^'the tr'de character of this infaindiiS prdject', tills barefaced attempt to convert tlie centre of English commerce linto a slave drivers' auctipn jnart Those who commit themselves1. to it must know what they ore about, and must therefore do&ire fend intend to support a system of audacious anU unexampled wickedness, No one of even ordinary information can, now pre tepd ignorance as to. the truo character and designs of the Slave Power. That character has been openly declared in formnl declarations nnd authoritative acts thoso, designs are not only avowed but gloried in. The officialrepresentatives of,tho Southern. Gov'leriimeut have declared slavery to be thd cor-ner-stone, the central principle, the very life-blood of the. Confederation. The Southern pre?^ljas uniformly lield,.tho same language. The public men arid piiblic orgitns of the Confederation hivfr ridiculed and repudiated the apologies for slavery made by their friends in this country For a tame th'e English patrons of the South attempted to maintain that tbb connection of the Southern Government with slavery was accidental aud temporay, and that the progress ,of the war would put an end to it. Exactly the reverse has happened. As the war goes on the South becomes moreinsolent and aggressive in its crusade against freedom,iu every form—more truculent aud bloodthirsty in the carrying out of a resolute and vihdictive slaveholding policy. -Tho Southorn Congress has just passed an act authorizing the sale of all captured person^ of color, whether they had ever been slaves or not in a word, has condemned by a State otdinancea multitudefcf free persons •to hopeless slavery. Whilo tho Southorn Legislatuie is .thus pursuing a policy that reduces all persons of color to servitude, the

Southern press is discussing the expediency of bringing tho: lower classes of whites in to. the same condition. Tho Richmond Enquirer, in a recent article on the subject, oponly,takes this ground: "Until recently the apologists for slavery took half-way grounds. They confined the defence of to negro slavery, thereby giving up the slavery principle, admitting other fyrms of slavery to be wrong. The South now maintains that slavery is right natural, nnd necessary. While it is far more obvious that negroes shall be slaves than wbite»^-for they aro only fit to lobor, not to direct—yet ike principle of slavery, is itself right, and does, not depend on difference of complexion." The South, therefore, has not only declared its character and designs to all. the world, but glories in thom. It glories in being a slaveholding Confederation formed for the purpose of extending the area and securing the permanence of that accursed Institution. Nay, it boasts still further that •t will compel civilized and Christian countries to recognize slavery as the ba?is of its 'jjcial and political denization, and thus silence the indignant protest they have hitherto raised against this gigantic form of social iniquity aud public wrong. Those who openly assist a Power which thus explicitly declares its charactcr and dosigns must of necessity sharo tbo guilt of its doings. T'lose who subscribo to this Confederate Loan are aiding and abetting the Slave Power in the most dircct and emphatic manner. They. may hope to be in part sheltered by tho sectional sympathy for tho Confederates which exists iu this'country. But they cannot escape tho moral judgment of the great body of their fellow-citi^ijtVJ, or tbe.de isivo condemnation of enlightened Europe. Opinion in Europe is thoroughly informed »s to tlic truo character of this gi cat conflict, and marks with wonder and scoru the partial support afforded to the Slavo Power in ibis country .and it will visit this slaveholding loan 011.tho Eng~ fish Eicliaiigo with the execration ii so just ly deserves. All who have enligbtAed regard J'or the trip reputiiibu.of England, will regard this open assistence to the traffickers in'human flesh as a desecration, aa ii pollution to tho English Exchange.

1^A8ON CABINET ORGAN.—The recent improvements introduced by Messrs. Masoi & Hamlin into .their Harmoniums have increased wonderfully tho popularity of iusjirunients of thiafclass. Admirers of true Qrgan.music, of sustained harmonics, aro no longer confined to the asthmatic or icrak lunged Melodeon, or tho noisy, ear-tearing reed-organ. An instrument is now obtainable, which is much more pnder tho controf of the performer, is cgpible of producing the softest tones, and yet possesses many times the.power of any .Melodeon. As the Mason and Hamlin instruments having thoso new improvement (we may specify as particularly valuable tlie- Automatic Swell) are sui gengrit, lifco tjipse ofjno ,9tl)er maker,—and since tlierp &re..otlier instruments called Harmcaiums without these cxcelleucics, Messrs. Mason ait| Hamlin have adopted and copy rightel tho name of, ''CABHUKT,. OBOAMS'' as as their special trade-mark.

As we have said,. the great. advantages possessed by these Cabinet. Organs make t^em.very desirable for the drawing-room, and they are rapidly becoming a necessity Ipr the family. Tbotow price at which tbey .are afforded b/inga them within the means of almost.every household and, as lovers of music, we welcome the popularity they have already attained.—JV. IR.

was but following out the old notions ,.e Whig pa-tv. The tax bill and the fiptioa, were mentioned, but he would die them at tlie proper time rt'er descanting upon matters and things general and nothing in particular, he •Led his.battery upon the Administration ,urncst. and thus paid his resects to ktliam Xjincoln and his proclamation to 'the slaves: ibralinm Lincoln had committed a fUrnt vioktiou of Uie Constitution aud his ih of office when ho assumed control of domestic institulions of the States These, thought, remained sacred under the Coni .utioD, and he had no right to interfere •h them. Ho had been elected by mirity vote of the people, upon the "Chicago itform and in his inaugural message, he ad promised the people "bread, but gave

a stone he promised them aH »b, but ivc them a serpent." And now\ Lincoln, fWith his legions of followers, were nothing but ihr. murderers of our brethren of lhe South.

Xhjs was the only timo iu tho course of two httu.rs and a half, (hat Voorhecs condescendwP to speak the word South, iu any sense what'dvetv

He contended Kidt Massachusetts and the New England Stat&,

I would not, if I could, preserve this Union —outside of ihe Constitulinn!" In reply to this peculiar and pointed remark of Daniel, I beg leavojto say, as the attorney says—"TmpotenUa^ncusal legem— impoteucy does aw.iy with tho law so, in like sense, tliq imputency of* Dan. Voorhees Democracy does away with tho Government.

I.wish to introduce a short extract here from Jeff Davis'Message of April 26, 18GI, for the purpose o! showing the difference between Davis and Voorhees, as to the cause of the war. Davis saj: "Tho peoplo of the Southern States, whose altnost exclusive octeupatioii was agricnlturo, early perceivcd a tendency in the Northor States to render tho common Government subservient to their own purpose, by imposing burthens on corinuerce as a protection to their manufacturing aifl fhipping interests. Long aud angry controversy grew out of these attempts, often .SIHCCSSIUI, to benefit one Section of the country at the expense of tho other. And the danger of disruption arising from this oanse was enhanced by tho fact that tho Northern population was increasing by immigration and other causes in a greater ratio than tho population of the South

Here is the true cnuso of the Sooth's desire to withdraw from tho Union. It was not New England, as Dan. Voorhees says neiitheir wa.- it old Ben. Bntlcr tt Co., its Mr IJ F. Lindjjr, of III., says. Davis is tho father of tho present troubles, aud knows why he thus took his stand better than "Northern men with Southern principles." Vet each point may be used to accomplish the same object—tho ouly difTercnce being in the seo tiun in which it is urged.

Voorhecs next pictined ont the horrors of taxation, and his argument socmcd to corre* pond,so woll with ,1011'. Davis' in relation to tho same point, that I shall quote Jeff, instead of Dai:. In Davis'inaugural message ho says "Tho period is near at hand when our foes must sink under the imnionse load of debt which they have incurred, a debt which, in their-efforts to subjugate us has already attained such fearful dimensions as will subject them, burthens which must coutinue to oppress them for generali«ns to come."

If there were any difference betweon tho language used, I certainly would concede lo Jeff. Davis the most gentlemanly course for what Voorhees.said was biitor and uttorly devoid of courtesy.

The "Conscription bill" w:^s denounced as being- •unconslituticmal, and itn exciting picture drawn as to its workingsi He followed it into the quiet family, and there saw it drag the father from the bosom of his family. Uo heard tho cries of tho moiJu-r as her last son was torn from her. Torn away from all that is'dear to them oh earth For whit? For what ho asked To fight an unwilling fight —to fight their brothers, through whose

veins coursed the same blood. Could an army raised'thus fight No. You could not make them fight any more than you could make a hole stay iu water qfttr pulling a stick thrrefrom! But, fellow-citizens, I advise you to be quiet—do not resist'lhe draft until the Suprefhe Gblirt has decided upon it—you will lose nothing bj waiting—you will gain strength.all.the timo. Ho kucw it would be declared unconstitutional, and he never would submit tb any law after it teas declared to be unconstitvtional, let come what mayt 1. He was aware that a man occupying the position he did was liable to be singled out, and when an arbitrary arrest was made such men were generally the victim*. But so long as be llved lie would continue to denounce the usnrpers of power—the muzzlers of the press and tho freedom of speoch. It was time these arbitrary arrests wero slopped—the people would suffer them no longer, and he advisod his friends to stand firmly by their rights.

In this report of what Daniel W. Voorhees said at Sullivan, I do not clnlin to have given his language verbatim, yet I am confident that I have given tbo sense of it and, in conclusion, I wish to say that no strictly loyal man can speak two hours and a halt, these days, without giving tho anthors of the rebellion a pretty strong piece of their mind, fn fact a loyal preacher cannot do it. Then, I ask, how is it that Voorhees can bold an audience that length of time without even making a reference to the infamous treachery of the South?
