THE GATE CITY, .ramta— K E O K U K THCRSDA Y, MA Y 21. FT. PILLOW MMTEL, *tke telegraph operator informed ua that Ft Pillow lias been evacuated by tbe rebel*. He was unable to pet particulars or to pblftia any fuitLer dispatches last night. "'tin ©«.i» Soon after themodi6cation of Fremont's proclamation last year, when a deeper gloom than ever seemed to shroud the prospect* of tbe country, we gave ex pression to ati exhortation to look up to one who is mighty to help. Here is the sentiment, somewhat awkwardly express ed, but easily understood: "The emasculation of that proclama tion, and the repudiation of its policy by the President, ban cast a general gloom of mingled grief and indignation aqd des pair, over all countenances on the streets. Tho prospect i» dark and dreary, and he that would »eek a ray of hof* for our afflicted country, must raise his ryes to a power higher than earthly potentates and Presidents snd a law higher than that of Congress." This sentence has been many times quoted, and i* once again going the rounds of tbe fastidiously loyal Vstlandigbftm press, as incontrovertible eridenee of a treasonable intent on our part to over throw the Government. We remember in our reading, one nota ble cace, that of the Prophet Daniel, who was condemned for treason, on the charge of looking for help in his troubles to a higher than earthly Potentate. But we supposed that that case was brought about by the machinations of very wicked men, and at all events we never had tbe re motest suspicion tbat it was unpatriotic^ let alone treasonable, to put our trust in God and His righteous law. We believe that Ood is mighty and man is mean.— Ws believe that our present troubles apring from the violation of the laws of God, and not from tbe evasion of tbe Fugitive Slave Liw. And we trust rather to the goodness of Ood than to the wisdom and power of man, for the resto ration of the authority of the Govern ment aod the rtturn of peacc and pros perity to the land. We fear that those who object to this sentiment sre so hard ened in their inirjuiticH that they really do regard loyalty to God as treason to the Constitution, simply because to their minds *laveiy i« the sum and substance of the Constitution, nnd slavery they know to be contrary to the law of God. Tfce Hualtt tk« Play. What a set of ninnies and knaves are theywho keep up a (lack about dropping the nigger und attending to the business of the oountry. Why, the interests of four millions of human beings, on account of whom the Confederate States have sought to form an independent Govern ment, and plunged into a war with the l_ nit&d States have become the business of the country. It is a sorrowful busi ness, a dreadful business, a tremendous business. Hundreds of thousands of hu man lives are being sacrificed in it, hun dreds of millions of dollars arc being ex pended in it. The existence of this Con stitutional Republican Government, the hopes of freedom for millions of the op pressed in all lands are staked on the is sue. The world are interested spectators, the God of Hosts Himself regardeth it. The war can not progress, the war can not close without constant reference and regard to the cause, motive and object of the war and say what you will, these all cluster around and center in the negro. That is humiliating, is it? Very well, so be it, but it can't be helped. The hum ble negro, the oppressed black man of America baa cried to Him who hath promised that He will hear the cry of the humble and deliver the oppreased. And in the providence of tho Mighty God vast armies are marbhaled on tn&ny battle fields—it may be in answer to the plain tive wail of the humble negro, rather than 10 pompous adoration of and Bishop Polk. We don't know, but we shall see and in the meantime it is mere knavery and nonsense to attempt to hiss the negro off the stage. The negro may be like Bsn^uo s ghost, a very un welcome guest at the National Board, but like that sturdy visitor, he will not "down" at tbe bidding of the guilty plotters of his injuries. Why, those who object to the talk about the negro in conneotion with the measures of this war, might as well demand that the drauia of Hamlet snail be brought on the stage with the character nf H«»*.]«• lc* o i^The entire "frse" population «f eotith Carolina, by the ccns.ua of 18G0 was 301,271 the slaves were 402,541.-' The ratio of slave to free it therefore very neaily four to three. A majority of the inhabitants of the Palmetto State may be counted as loyal to the Government, or at least tbe enemies of the rebels of the »«a't Waat Ik* Betels IsMMi. Loyal men have olten had occasion to note that the sympathisers and Vallan digbammera seldom rejoioe on any of the crushing victories achieved by our troops over the enemy. They rejoice over the evacuations and retreats of the enemy, and we think *fe have sometimes seen evi dence* that they rejoiced over the partial victories which the enemy bad nehieved.1'Junction Now the explanation of these facta is simply this, the Vallandighammer.* do not wish tbe Government to triumph over the rebels, neither do they now wish tbe traitors to overthrow the Government They want tbe struggle to continue till both parties are exhausted, when they hope that the dread of taxes will impel the people to demand a compromise and the restoration of t^e traitors to power again. Such is the programme, the policy of the Vallandighammers throughout the oountry, and such is the specisl aim of the Mahonyites of Iowa, under the lead of Dodge and Jones. Of this latter fact we have striking evidence in the views of Senator Jenningr, of Dubuque, a leading lawyer and locofoco of that sympathizing city. That desttnguished individual wa charged with uttering very treasonable sentiments whereupon he published a card toning his views down as much as pos sible, but leaving them just in the shape that we have presented the policy of the Yallandighsmmers. Mr. Jennings represents that during the course of conservation in regard to the evacuation of Yorktown he was asked "If I was not glad that the rebels had been compelled to evacuate To which I replied, no, 1 was not. Then he asked ine, if I would have been glad, if they had been bagged To which replied, no, I would not have been glad at that either. Then said Mr. Goodrich or Mr. Covell, would you have been glad, if we (meaning the Northern troopt) had been bagged No, said I, uor would I have been glad at that either. Then what would have suit ed you, atked Mr. Covell? At this last interrogatory, I turned aside from my petition, on which I was engaged all this time, or trying to be, an addressing my self to those present, said, I will tell you gentlemen, just where I stand in this matter. I do not wish to see tbe people of the South crushed to the earth. I do not wish to see them tiampled under foot, or hunted down as a hare pursued by the hounds. T^ey arc Americans, and I wish to see them acquit themselves in a manner wur'hy of American citizens and soldiers. I wish to see them eouduct themselves with such vigor, as to compel the AoitA to yield to t*ch eom^romitet in the end at will ecu re to them their con.ti tutional rijll*—that the Constitution was founded in compromise and by cum promisc only could it and the Union be preserved. In conclusion permit me to say, that my reasons for tbe sentiments nnd feel ings that I have expressed, are (and I ray it with the utmost deference and respect to those who honestly differ from me) that I regard the Abolitionists of the North, and their allies the Republicans, and all the disciples of the Higher Law school of politicians, as the primal cause, solely and alone, of all our present dreadful national calamities. JOHN D. JENBINOS. That is tbe keynote of tbe Vallandig ham movement. The Yallandigham party is organized if not to help the rebels at least to prevent the Government and the loyal people of the oountry from giving the traitors too aevere a drubbing. •tat* RlaH«C«avDatira la Hitirarl. The friends of the war and emancipa tion policy of the President in the Stale of Missouri are to hold a Mass-Convention at Jefferson City on the 16th of June. The country at large, and Southern Iowa in particular, should feel a very deep interest in the success of the emancipa tion movement in the State of Missouri. It would detach that great State forever from any participation in the schemes of Southern traitors. The blood of Lyon and of the brave Iowans who have so nobly sacrificed themselves for their country will not have been shed in vain, if Missouri shall thus be forever guaranteed to the cause of freedom and the Union of the Slates. upon Missouri should slavery be exter minated from the soil of the State and extend its benefits to Southern Iowa in opening up avenues of trade and travel connecting the two States in indissoluble bonds of commercial reciprocity, and establishing indispensable railroad con nections, aod outlets southward for the interior and Southern sections of Iowa. THOS. SWAN*.—It Iuliuu Pott, is gratifying to hear tbat his wealthy and influential citizen has declared in favor of Mr. Lincoln's policy of emancipation, as developed in the reso- auopMsd oy congress. He urged one of our Representatives in Congress to vote for this resolution, and wuen it waa objected tbat the sentinent of his constituency on the subject was not known to him, Mr. Swann thought it was the duty of the Representative, to lead his constituency where the principles of eter nal right called, as this waa one of i u e s i o n s a i o e o N Arair C«r!a(i Headquarters 1st Brigade, Davis* Div., 4* Miles from Corinth, May 14, EDITOB GATE CITY I sent you let ter Sunday morning, giving the position of our army at that time. Yesterday we moved to tbe new line three miles nearer Corinth. While sitting here at my desk I hear the ears coming in from Grand Sherman, Oil our right, has been build ing a bridge to-day under cover of his ar tillery. The enemy has been annoying him constantly. Even since dark an oc casional shot is heard. It is supposed that Beauregard is run ning all the forces from the Mississippi into Corinth. When the battle oomes off, it will be an artillery fight unless the en emy uses more strategy than we give him credit for at present. We have 700 pieces of artillery on this (outer) line, about 150 of which are the celebrated Parrott guns. The prospect now is tbat Grant's forces will open the ball, as the enemy will not suffer us to approach too nettr the C. k M. R. R—their way of escape—without fighting. McKean'sDivision is on our left. We believe that General Halleck is master of his position. This oblique front draws nearer and nearer. If any one hlauics General Halleck for his tardiness, it is cause they know nothing about the great and mighty effort he is making. The salvation of our oountry is almost staked upon this throw. We must secure vic tory beyond a doubt. The enemy may outnumber us, but they bavn't the artil lery nor the number of well drilled troops that we have. 15TH, 4 A. M.—The bugles sre sound ing the morning oall along the line. Re markably quiet during the night. The mail goes shortly. Have Clagett's Con stitution of the 5th. The more intelli gent citizens here are olamorous for pa pers, but in my heart of hearts I cannot consistently ar.d conscientiously give them Kuch papers as his or the infamous Chi cago Times. I have seen the effect of such things. Andy Johnson could do nothing in Nashville if such a paper as the Times was published there. A North ern dooghfaoe fire-in-tbe-rear traitor, who covers his dark designs by singing poans to the Constitution is a thousand times more execrablo than those arrayed under the Rattlesnake Flag. We know exactly liow to understand the latter. H. S. Parson Brownlow in New Yarlc. We make the following extracts from the speech of Parson Browuluw recently delivered in New York THE KOBTH IKHOCENT—THE SOUTH GU1LTT. The people of the South, the dema gogues and leaders of the South, are to Ijlurue for having brought about this state of things, and not the people of the North, [Cheers.] We have intended down South finr thirty vears to break up this Government. It has been our set tled purpose aod our sole aim down South tu destroy the Union and braak up the Government. We have hud the Presi dency in the South twice to your once, and five of our tneu were re-elected to tbe Presidency, tilling a period of forty years. In addition to that we had divers men elected for the one term, and no man at the liorth ever was permitted to serve any bat tbe one term and in addition to hav ing elected our men twice to your once, und occupied the chair twice as long as you ever dul, we seized upon and appro priated two or three miscreants from the North that we elected to the Presidency, aud plowed wilh them as our heifers.-~ [Great laughter and Applause, We ask ed of you and obtained at your bands a Fugitive Slave law. You voted for and helped us to enact and to establish it. We asked of you and obtained the repeal of the Missouti compromise line, which nev er ought to have been repealed. I fought it to the bitter end, and denounced it and all concerned in repealing it, and I re peat it here again to night. We asked and obtained tbe admission of Texas into the Union, that we might have slave ter ritory enough to form some four or five more great States, and you granted it.— You have granted us from first to last all wo have asked, all we have desired and hence I repeat thia thing of secession, this wiokea attempt to dissolve the Uni on, has been brought about without the worst men that God ever permitted to live on the faeeof the earth. [Applause.] It is the work of a set of men clown South, who, in winding up this revolution, if our Administration and Government shall fail to hang them as high as Haoian~—hang every one of them—we will make an ut ter failure. 1 have confidence myself, and thank Qod I have always had faith and confidenoe, in the government crush ing out this rebellion. [Applause.] We have the men at tbe head of tffjurn who will do it! and that gallant man McCleK Ian—a man in whose ability and integri ty I Y have all the time had confidence, and prjphesi«d be would oome right side up. [Laughter and applause.] My own dis traoted and oppressed sec lion of tbe coun try, East Tennessee, falls now by the new arrangement into the military district of that hero Fremont. [Cheers.] Wo re. joioed in Tennessee when «e heard that we had fallen into his division, [applause,] and although 1 have always differed with him in polities, yet, in a word, he is ay sort of a man. He will either make a in the attempt. When he gets ready to go down into East Tennessee, 1 hope he will let nip know. I want to go with hirn iside by side, on a horse, with epaulette, a cocked hat aud a sword and our friend Briggs of New York, a former member of Congress, who is now on the platform, has promised me a large coil of rope, nnd 1 want the pleasure of showing them who to hang. [Great applause.] We have had experiments in this tiling of crushing out rebellion. We had a long time ago one on a small scale in Massachusetts, and the Government crushed it out. After wards we had the whisky rebellion in the neighboring State of Pennsylvania, and the Government applied the screws and crushed il out. Still more recently we had a terrible rebellion In South Carolina, and, with Old Hickory at the helm, we orushed it out—[applause.] REBEL BABHAB1T1K8. After the battle at Manassas and Bull Run the officers and privates of tbe Con federate army passed through our town on their way to Dixie, exulting over the victory tbey had achieved, and some of them had what they called Yankee heads, or the entire heads of Federal soldiers, some of them with long beards and goat ees, by which they would tike them up and say, See nere is the head of a damned soldier eajftured at Bull Run." That is the spirit of secessiou at the South. It is the spirit of murder of the vile un tutored savage it is the spirit of bell, and he who apologizes for them jp no bet ter than those who perpetrate the deffL- v STILL MORE HOFTRIBLB. In the town of Greenville, •here An drew Johnson resides, they took out of the jail, at one time, two innooent I'nioti men, who had committed no offense on the face of the earth, but tbat of being Uni on men—Nasby and Fry. Fry was a poor shoemaker, with a wife and half a dozen of children. A fellow from way down East in Maine, by the name of Daniel Leudbeater, and the bloodiest and most ultra man, the vilest wretch, the most un mitigated scoundrel that ever made a track in East Tennessee. This is Colonel Daniel Leadbeater, late of the United States army, but now a rebel in the se cession army. He took these two mm, tied them with his own hands upon one limb, immediately over the railroad track in the town of Gioenville, and ordered them to bang four days and nights, and directed all the engineers and conductors to go by that hanging concern slow, in a kind of Bnail gallop, up and down the road, to give the passengers an opportu nity to kick the ri^id bodies and htrike them with a rattan. And they did it. I pledge you my honor that on the fropt platform tbey made a business of kicking the dead bodies as they passed by and the women (I will not say ladies, fur down South we make a distinction between la dies and women)—tbe women, the wives and daughters of men in high position, waved their white handkerchiefs in tri umph through the windows of the car at the sight of the two dead bodies hanging there. Leadbeater, for his murderous courage, was promoted by Jeff. Davis to the office of Brigadier General. He had an encounter, as their own papers at Richmond state, at Bridgeport, not long ago, with a part of Gon. Mitchell's army, where Lead boater got a glorious whip ping. His own party turned round and chastised him for cowardice. He had courage to hang innocent, unarmed men. taken out of jail, but he had not courage to face the Yankees and tha Northern men that were under MiteheH and Buell. He took to his heels, like* a coward and scav enger as be is. Our programme is this, tbat when we get back into East Tennessee we will in struct all our friends everywhere to sc curo and apprehend this fellow, Lead beater and our purpose is to take him to that tree and make the widow Fry tie the rope around his infernal neck. UNIOB MBXHCBO. In the jail where I lay they were ac customed to drive up with a cart, with an ugly, rough, flat-topped coffin upon it, surrounded by fifteen to forty men, with bristling bayonets, as a guard to march in through the gate into the jajl yard, with steady, military tread. We trembled in our boots, for they never notified us who was to be hanged, and you may im agine how your bumble servant felt for if any man in the jail, undor their law, deserved the gallows, I claim to have been tbe man. I knew it and they knew it.— They came sometimes with two coffins, one on each cart, and they took two men at a time and marched them out. A poor old man of sixty-five and his son of twenty-five were marohed out at one time and hanged oa tbe same galfowa. They made that poor old man, who was a IVfeth odisi class-lcsder, sit by and see his TBE CASK BOU hung till he was dead, and then called iathe work of the kincolpite Union shrieker, and said, "Come on it is your turn next. He sank, but they propped him up and led him to the halter, and swung both off on the same gallows. or BAUH. They came, after that, for another man, and they took J. C. Haun out of jail—a young man of £ne sense, good address, and excellent character-~a tall, spare-made man, leaving a wife at home, with four or five helpless children, My wife passed the farm of Haun's tho other day, when tbey drove her out of Tennessee and sent her on to New Jersey—I thank them kindly. for doing so—and saw his wife plowinc. endeavoring to raise eorn for her suffering and starving children. That is the spirit of secession, gentlemen. And yet yoji have a set of God-forsaken, un principled men at the tfQrth who are apologising for them and sympathizing with them. When they took Haun out and placod him on the scaffold they had a drunken chaplain. They were kind enough to notify him an hour before the hanging that be wss to be huffg. Haun at OMS mad* an application for Mtlh- odjst preadtor, a Union man, to come and pray for him. They denied him the privilege, and said that God didn't hear nny prayers in be half of any damned Union-shrieker, and he had literally to do without the benefit of the clergy. But they had near the gal lows an unprincipled, drunken chaplain of their own army, who got up and un dertook to apologize for liaun. He said: "This poor, unfortunate man, who is about to pay the debt of nature, regrets the course he took. He said lie was misled by the Union papers.' Haun ro«e up, and with a clear, stentorian voice, said: "Fellow citizens—there is not a word of truth in that statement. I have author ized nobody to make tmch a fctateiuent What 1 hove said and done I have done and said with u,y eyes open, and if it were to be done over, 1 would do it airain. I am ready to hang, and you can execute your purposes.*' He died like a man lie died like a Union man, like an Kast TonneMseean eughtto die. As God is my judge, I would sooner be Haun in tbe grave to-day than any one of the scoun drels ooncerned in his murder. BlUir WAITED FOR. Hanging is going on all ever TVwnMWe.* They shoot them down in the fields, they whip them and, as strange as it may Keen* to you, in the countieK of Campbell and Anderson thev actually lacerate with switches the bodies of females, wives and daughters ,pf Union men—clever, re spectable women. They show no quarter to male or female they rob their houses and they throw them into prison. Our jails are all full now, and we have com plained and fought hard that our Govern ment has not come to our relief, for a more loyal, a more devoted people to the stars and .stripes, never livod on the face of God's earth than tbe Union people of Tennessee. With tears in their eyes they begged me, on leaving East Tennessee, for God Almighty's sake, to see the Presi dent, to see the army officers, so as to have relief sent to them and bring them out of jail. I hope, gentlemen, you will uso your influence with the army and navy, and till concerned, to relieve these people. They are the most abuw d, down trodden, persecuted and proscribed peo ple that ever Hved on tne facc of the earth. HORTHFRX noronrACES. Such actions as these show tbe spirit of secession in the South. It is the spirit of murder and assassination—it is tbe spirit of hell. And yet you have men at the North who sympathize with these in fernal murderers. If I owed the devil n debt to be discharged, and il was to be discharged by the rendering up to him of a dozen of the meanest, most revolting and God-fur*aken wre'.cbes that ever pould be culled from the ranks of de praved human society, and I wanted to pay that debt and get a premium upon the piyment, 1 would make a tender to his Satanic Majesty of twtlre Northern men who sympathized with this internal rebellion. [Great cheering.] If I am severe and bitter in my remarks—[Cries of "no, no, not a bit of it"]—if I am, gentlemen, you must consider that we in tho South make a personal matter of ihie thing. [Laughter.] We have no teepeet or cAtid-jiicp in any Northern man who sympathises witii this internal rebellion— [Cries of "good, good''J—nor should any be tolerated in walking Broadway at any time. Such men ought to be ridden upon a rail and ridden out of the North.— ["Good, good.''] They should either be tor or against the "tniH-dam and 1 would make them show their hands. [Laughter and applause.] A Dansflsi Iftp* We out tho following significant item from the Shilo correspondence of the New York Times. The writer was in the bat tle ol Wilson's Creek, and was at that lime corresponding for the New York Times and the Dubuque Herald. Doubt less tbe Jones family is very loyal, but it has been exceedingly unfortunate. Our illustrious ex-Senator aod si-Minister has been guilty of writing a "love letter"— that is what he styles it—to Jeff. Davis. One son was bagged at Fort Donelaon, fighting against his country in the secesh army, The other son, always claiming te be loyal, has sent s valuable recruit to Dixie, from the Mabony Democracy of the lovely city of Dubuque, with a most affect ionatc introductory letter. One would think that a person, standing in a position so unquestionable, would keep himself a little in the background. But no: Jones is apparently upon a pilgrim age among tbe people, holding himself up as a martyr, and seeking to organize a par ty in this State, the evident purpose of which is to aid tbe rebellion and assist in making satisfactory terms for Jeff. Davis & (Jo. when they are beaten and s*b pued." But to the letter introductory to Mr. Quigly In roaming about the Woods I found a well worn lettor, whose contents may prove of interest. It is dated, "4 Dubuque, Iowa, July 1,1861. DEAR HUNTIH By this I intro duce to you my friend, Daniel O. C. Quigly, of this town, and bespeak your kindness and attention to hitn. I believe he will prqve himself worthy of your friendship, With every wish for your prosperity and happiness, your friend, CHARLES D. JOWRJ. To Captain S. E. Hunter, Hunter's Rifles, Clinton, Louisiana.' The particularities of this document oonsist. in th fnet that tho writer is son of Gen. Geo. W. Jones, of Dubuque (late Minister to Bogota, Fort Lafayette, sc.), and a brother of the Lieut. Jones who was bagged at Ft. Henry. The Quigly spokeq of is a gon of a prominent citizen of Dubuque, and one who, soon after the war commenced, bolted to the South and offered his services to the scoundrels who are trying to break up thi« Government. I offer the letter for pftblieaUon from the &et that tit* writtr now lives ia Dubuque, and pretends, s* he ever has pretended since the war be gan, to be loyal. How far such loyalty will be tolerated by a Government whose burdens are already heavy enough, should be tested. The letter was given, and for a treasonable purpose, at a time when the gallant Lyon was struggling against the traitorous uprifeingN in Missouri—at a time when hundreds of Jones' townsmen in the First Iowa were toiling and suffer ing beneath the burning sun of Missouri, inspired only by motive* of patriotism, by a wish to preserve intact their beloved Constitution—it was at| such a time that Jones chose to perpctnrte his treason and H*iia in the work of breaking up the (ioveinment. Protecting tkf Yv«ywr1)r mt The correspondent of the N. Y. Trib une says Gen. McClellan has issued the following order v Headquarters Army of Potomaq, Ilopcr's Church, May 10. Spccial Orders No. 144.] The Commanding General learns with regret that notwithstanding the orders al ready issued on the subject, the men of the command have committed many dep redations since leaving Yorktown. The General has trustworthy informa tion that some of the officers connected with the command, not only do not try to prevent these outrages, but are guilty of them themselves. The attention of the Division Commandere is called to this sui ject, and the strictest measures will be taken to prevent all kiiids of depredations. Any of the men hereafter found guilty of stealing, will be immediately placed in irons, tried by a Military Commission, and punished to the extent of the law. Divisiou Commanders will be held strictly responsible that the rdcrs are strictly obeyed- The ordetswitb rcspect ntraggk ra and rear guard have not been obeyed. Division and Brigade Com manders wiil be held responsible that the orders are carried out in future.
