newspapers recently called Democratic, show that tho liberty of the press Is not entirely monopolized by the Republican party: From the Albany Argus It is nil one scheme, to end In a central despotism, before which Stare rights and individual liberties win be crushed. The war for the restoration of the Union is not pursued with more vigor and efficiency than the war against the Constitution. The people will soon wake up to see it. From the Bridgeport (Ct.) Advertiser. We are friends to righteous-government' To a government conducted iu accordance with the provisions and principles of tho ConslitutionI But, we glory in publicly avowing our eternal enmity to tyrrany to military despotism! As Patrick Henry said, when assailed with outcries of "Trea-sou, Treason," If this be treason, make the most of HI" From the Chicago Times.

"This government has well nigh become a military despolism, but it wilfsearcely go thelcnthgot abrogating theCivil Authority or the land. Such au act would change tlii) features of this war at once. It would be difficult in such a ease to tell which was the most revoluliouary ol" the two conteud-ing parties. From the Milwaukee Democrats have engaged in this war with the sole and exclusive purpose of maiu-talmngthe Constitution and Union, and not with a view of subverting ihem. Binca this has been forced upon us, we have been willing to ignore panv End stand by the President in all e'i'ins to defend the Government, i we cannot go.

KENTUCKY. "Jnst send for as Kentacky boys, And we'll protect yon, ladies." Old Song. Then leave ns not, Kentucky boys, Tbo' thick upon thy border. The vulture flips hi, restle.s wing, And scowls the dirk marauder. Kentucky blood fi jnst as proud, Kentucky powder ready, Kentucky hearts are jnst as brave Kentucky nerve as steady, As when the flag we once revered Unfolded o'er hcrprondly.

And for the South, Kentucky's voice, Vnduate6, echoed loudly. The lion-hearted hero then. Who led that gallant number, Host EUrely feel a sad unrest Disturb his death-cold slumber. And one whose sire on history's page, Is blont in proudest story. Fell on a Southern field, and bathed His dying brow in glory.

Pell overcome bv savage foes, Yet still their 'race cfefving. 'These, give my falher 'cried the Bon, "And tell him how I'm dying." But now that flag Is vilelv stained Its sacred rights invaded Wrong and dishonor wield the staff Its glory's sadly shaded. And when we would its dying spark. Snatch from the blackening ashes, And worship once ngain its light, As thro' the world it flashes, Kentucky leans upon her arms, And coldly looks about her. Till hirelings at her very door.

Dare threaten and to flout her. Desert us now. Kentucky boy, And 'in the future dawning, -Thy faded glory scarce will streak 1 he first grey light of morning. Heed not the Btsrvellng crew who hng Upon the blue Ohio, A craven heart each traitor bears, And dare not venture nigher. And should they: know ye not the blood Within our foil hearts beaming, At once ten thousand scabbards fly, Ten thousand blades are gleaming.

Then waken from thy nervelees sleep, Gird on thy well-tried armor. And soon the braggart North will feel, That right has strength to harm her. Kentucky boys and girls have we Troin us ye may not take them, nsa nearteu win ye give taem up. And for the foe forsake them Oh, Tennessee, twin-sister, grieves, To take thy hand at parting, And feel that from its farewell grasp, A brother's blood is starting. It must not Kentucky come Virginia loudly calls theo, And Man-land defenseless stands, To share what fate befalls thee.

Come ere the tyrant's chain is forged, From out the war-cloud looming, Come ere thy palsied knee is bent. To hopcle.s ruin dooming. Mat 24th. ES TELLE. The Troubles of the Yankees A correspondent of the New York World, writing from Fortress Monroe, soys A member of the First Regiment pur- cuascu a pie irum tne oi a negro woman who was permitted to vend cakes, in the camp.

In a short time he was afflicted with all the symptoms of arsenical poisoning, and taken to the hospital, where the usual antidote was administered successfully. The surgeon who attended him considered the case a clear one. The woman who sold the poisoned article has not since been seen. Our pickets on the outposts have an op portunity every nignt oi witnessing a per fect system of signals between the posts of the enemy. They usually commence at about 11 o'clock, and continue till early In the morning.

Tho messages pass in regular order, lrom the vicinity of York-town, from post to post down to the posts back of Newport News. At first bright lights are seen, apparently rendered intense by reflectors, steadily for a space of perhaps fifteen minutes. Then they are extinguished, aud a pause ensues, when one again appears giving wavy motions, and evidently spelling out a message. In a few moments the lignt at the next post goes through the same motions, repeating it. Then thenext, and thus this signal telegraphing is kept up at- intervals through nearly the entire night.

Only a night or two since three rockets were seen to be fired from the house of a Mr. Kelly, one of tho-e dangerous oath-of-allegiance Virginians who reside not a hundred rods from the camp. I cannot say enough in condemnation of this method of licensing spies in our very midst. Every single day and night adds alarming testimony lo the fact lhat the oath of allegiance is a farce and a sub terfuge eagerly employed by the rebels as a protection ior itieir spies around and among us. I have watched the movements of these L'nion converts and of the foe carefully, and I deem it no exaggeration of the truth to say that every act and position of our forces is promptly conveyed to Yorktown, and that it is impossible for us to move without a speedy aud full report of the movement being conveyed promptly to the headquarters ol Col.

Magruder. The "Only Northern Tories in Congress." The telegraphic dispatches to-day inform the public lhat the "only Northern" Tories in Cougi oss" are "Ben Wood, of New York, and Clement L. Yallandigham, of Wonderful, isn't it Simply the fact that both of ihese gentlemen have declared themselves opposed to the war policy of Abraham Liucolu because they prefer Peace to Civil war because they prefer the prosperity of the people to their ruin because ibey desire to first exhaust all honerable means to bring about a reconciliation between the sections, rather than embroil the country in a war which can only result in the oimpleto distraction of the happiness and trade ol the American people both North and South. This is their offending. Simply a determination to pursue the only eourse wliich can save the couutry from destruction, is now evidence of "torylsm." Such a charge comes with a bad grace from the men who have been instrumental in bringing on the very troubles which now indict the country from men who have labored for years to bring about the dissolution of theUnion who have time and again violated the Constitution of the country who have trampled upon the laws of tne land who have preached the "irrepressible conflict," the Tcy conflict now upon the eountrv we say it comes with a bad grace men to talk about "tories" and "trators." If ever there were men who were responsible for their country's ruin, Republican leaders who now control the destiny of our Republic are responsible for our troubles.

As for Messrs. Vallandigham and Wood being the "only members" from the North in favor of a peaceful settlement, the telegraph, as usual, lb s. Six Northern members to our knowledge, have already taken such a position. Bui there will be more as the debates and votes in Congress will show. Dayton (Ohio) Empire.

Dull Times in New York. The following is an extract of a letter from New York city: The fa-hionable hotels continue to Buf fer severely from the pressure of the times. The suspension of Southern traTel, of course, is almost total in consequence of tne war, ano as mat sort ot patronage was always the most profitable, the Jack of it now is severely felt. The lew arrivals daily recorded hail principally from the New England and Western States, but even tnese are iiko angels- visits "lew and lar between." The newpapers, too, continue to suffer from the state of the times. The Courier and Enquirer, on the lit of July, it is said, -n-iil a IL.

'm. uc uioicu iubu me xnedour-nal of Commerce, like the Courier, a mer cantile organ, has also been compelled to curtail its dimensioas, owing to a lack of advertisements. Newspaper Movements. Common mor has it that the daily newspapers ot this cit meditate an increase in theirprice. It is proposed to sell them at three instead oi two cents, so as to mate the pronts on ineir circulation atone ior tneir diminished profits upon advertisements.

Business so deplorably dull, at present, in every branch of art and industry, that few dealers can afford to advertise at all, and the remainder advertise but sparingly To be sure, uarnnm lays it down as a rule, in his wors: on "The Art of Making monev, that proper time to advertise judiciously is thers don and Bamnni nnn-hr to be the "proper wtten oiners a sound adviser on that subject; but everybody is not a Barnum in shrewdness, and nence tne newspaper arrangement in contemplation.

Nashyile The Resources of the South. A great many people, even in the South, are not aware of the extent of their resources in the way of means for supporting human life. A correspondent of the Balti more Sun has done the country good service by compiling some valuable statistics from the census of 1S50 the tables of the census of 1860 being as yet unavailable, or rather not obtainable. We make freo use of the figures and compilation, and direct the attention of our readers thereto. According to the census of 1850, South Carolina produced five-sixths nearly of all the rice grown.

Besides nearly all the rice, she produced wheat to within 3,000 bushels of all produced by the six New England States. She produced almost as much corn as the State of New York, and 6,000,000 buFhels of that grain more than all the New England States. She produced more oats than Maine; more by 1,000,000 of bushels than Massachusetts; more than 1,000,000 bushels of potatoes over and above what Maine produced; more beans and peas by 1S0.000 bushels than all the Northern States together, except New York; more beef cattle than Pennsylvania by 1,740, and almost at manj as all the New England Str.tes; more sheep than Iowa and Wisconsin by more hogs than New l'ork by 47,251, more than Pennsylvania by 25,137, and 86,000 more than all the New England States, with New Jersey, Michigan, Wisconsin and California in the bargain. What a splendid showing for the often slandered, but glorious little Palmetto State! The remainder of the statistics compiled by the correspondent of the Sun are equally interesting. Virginia ami North Carolina produced jointly 13,303,000 bushels of wheat, or 241,000 bushels more than the great wHeat stae oi jsew lork, or a qnantity equal to the whole prodnet of the six New England States, with New Jersey, Michigan, Iowa and Wisconsin all pnt to-gether.

Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee produced 115,471,593 bushels of corn, a quantity exceeding by 300.0JO bush-elB the joint product of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersoy, Connecticut, Massaehusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine. Tennessee, alone, produced 10,300 more hogs than all the six New England States, with New York Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Iowa and Michigan for that Stat produced 3,104, b00 hogs, while tho eleven Northern States named produced but It will unqnastionably astonish many people to be told that the six Gulf States of South Carolina. Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, produced 45,102 more beef cattle than the six New England States, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey, Indiana Michigan and Wisconsin, altogother but such is the fact, lor the census of 1850 tells us that these States produced beef cattle, while the thirteen Northern States named produced but 1,312,327. From this it will be seen that it will be a very difficult job, to starve out the Cotton States. And, according to the census of 1850, the Southern States produced four millions of bushels of corn more than the Free States produced and in many other pre- ducta the superiority of the Soulh, popu lation considered, was surprisingly mani fest.

We presume the census of 1S00, if it ever is allowed to go before the world, according to the returns made by the different Marshals, will show a still greater preponderance in Civor of the South, as the constantly continued aggression of the North stimulated Southern farmers to in crease their growth of year by year. For this year, il the seasons continue propitious, they will raise breadstuff's, sufficient to last at least two years, while every other department they will be strenlhened immediately, and in another year will become completely independent of the world will be able to clothe and feed themselves, and then have full cotton, sugar, rice and tobacco crops on baud worth at least $275,000,000, as a surplus to go upon. How absurd and ridiculous: then is the talk about starving and bank rupting such people Anti-War Party in the North. bile the leaders are flattering them- selvts with the idea that the people of Kentucky have snnk into abject shivery forfeited their lnr.nl-.ood surrendered thefr liberties at the bidding ol corrupt tricksters and unprincipled managers, the peo ple of the North aro becoming alarmed at the extent and audacity of Lincoln's usur pations, and are demanding that the independence of the Confederate States shall bs recognized, and the restoration of peace to the country. It is being realized even in the free States that the separation is now complete nud perfect, and hat been made irremedable by the policy of the Administration; that the South oannot be whipped back; that the certain result ol the attempt to subjugate the slave-holding States will be bloodshed, ruin ol business, an enormous public debt, and grindingtaxes for a'l time to come; that the war is beisg used as a pretext for usurpations which if acquiesced in will destroy the government; that peace caa only be obtained by acknowledging the independence of the now Confederacy; and that if the war is not ended soon, constitutional liberty will soon be swept away: and a peace party, large in numbers and influence, is rapidly assuming form; and, composed of men who arenotafraia to speak their sentiments and defend their rights, whatever may appear to be the cowardice of Southern submisslonism, it will be heard by the time of the regular meeting of Congress in December.

The Bangor (Maine) Democrat of June 25th, says: What Shall Democrats Do Hardly a day passes but wc are met with the inquiry, over and over again, both by letter and by word of mouth: "What are "the Democracy of Maine going to do in the coming September election The masses ol the paty want to take a firm and deeided stand in opposition to the unconstitutional and despotic warfare waged by Abraham Lincoln on Sovereign States. "There are to-day in the State of Maine FORTY THO U8 AND DEMOCRATS whe are totally and nnalteraolv OPPOSED TO THI; DESTRUCTIVE CIVIL WAR. York county gave the Democratic candidate for Governor, last year, 6,000 votes, and we have the best authority for stating that those Bix thousand are to-day, ncarl to a man, united in opposition to the war. Oxford county gave last year, about 3,500 Democratic votes, and we learn that they, too, almost unanimously hold the same views in regard to the war as their brelh ren in York. We have just received letter from a thoroughly informed gentleman iu Washington ccunty, who writes: "The Democrats, except and two or three who cling to his skirts, are all opposed to tht war, in this county.

A candidate for office of cny kind, with the Abolition view of the war, could not obtain 200 Democratic votes in this county. I am not mistaken." Another well informed gentleman, wri ting us from Waldo county, says: "Tin-idea that there is but one party is quite a mistake. Old L. will cast a large I Democratic vote in September," Another gentleman residing in Hancock county, and who kuows the people there thoroughly, says that the masses of the Democracy there entertain but one sentiment in regard to the war, and that Is uncompromising hostility to It; Ot the 5,000 Democrats in this county who voted last September, we unhesitatingly say that there are not at this hour 200 who sustain the war. The instances we have cited are but indications of the general sentiment ol the Democracy of the entire State.

They are ever whelmingly opposed to the war. As they review the history of the past few weeks they burn with indignation at the fresh recollection of the outrages that have been perpetrated with impunity on their individual righu by tho abolition advocates of this barbarous war. They remember how attempts were made to muzzle their press by threats of mob violence how good citizens were threatened with hemp and halter for the sentiments they honestly entertained how Democratic papers were stripped from the flies of public reading rooms by Aooiiuon rninans in broadcloth, who have since been takeninto the pay of the Administration for the ser vice tuey tnus rendered now an oio gentleman in the town of Corinth, a Christian litrmer, whose whole life has been without spot or blemish, and whose only orime is a firm belief in the principles of Jefferson and Madison, was hung iu effisy; how another old man of 70 years, in Orrington, who has in days gone by sat in our Senate, and whose character is without a stain, was threatened with having his hone torn down about his head how- a lame man was ridden on a rail, and cut and bruised iu the town of Dexter. All these outrages, as well as the inherent wickedness of the war itself, have tired the Democratic he-art of Maine and they demand an opportunity to be heard at the polls. What, then, is to bo done We answer A Convention is to be held.

In the meetings for the choice of delegates to that Convention, every man, with whatever party he has been connected heretofore, who desires to make Opposition to tub War the paramount is.ue of the campaigB, will be welcome, and there can vote nud act. The cill for such a Convention will be put forth at an early day, and a vigorous uampiHtm will follow its deliberations aud nomination. "What they will do with Slavery. We have been permitted to make the following extract from a letter written by distinguished gentleman, who occupies a high poslticu in tho Northern army, to a personal friend in this State. We know the position of tho writer, and copied the extract given ourself from the original letter.

Well, we have positive information that said tobacco is to be forwarded direct to Louisville.

Tho tobacco was not shipped cither to Air. Atkinson or to Louisville, but wa6 consigned to New Albany to be forwarded North by rail. Gov. Harris, of Tennessee, on ascertaining that the tobacco was the actHal property of a citizen of Kentucky, issued an order to let it go forward to Louisville. Tobacco has been rapidly advancing in price iu this market, owing in part to the interdictions of shipments from Tennessee, and it now commands 30 or 40 per cent, more than it did when Mr.

Atkinson's shipment was made at New Orleans, and he gains largely by the venture. The Kentucky farmers, and Kentucky dealers iu tobacco by the position of the Slate, us uctitral between the belligerents, arc now reaping the beuefits of tho tobacco trade, nud enjoying a monopoly.

LCarrennondence Louisville Camp Vincent, in siobt or I Newport Newb, June 23d, 1861. Editors Louisville Courier: It has just came to my knowledge, through two ct our men who visited Richmond last week, (who were informed by members of Fitzhue and Thompson's ccmpanles) that the Davis Guards, Capt. Ben Anderson's company, which left Louisville April 17th last, for New Orleans, have bean represented as having been pcorlv provided for in regard to rations and clothing since their departure from Louisville.

The expression used being "half starved, dirty, and almost naked." As an officer of this company, and being now in command in our Cspuiiu'a absence, I think it my duty (injustice to the friends of eur cause who so generously contributed to the fnnd for our ia justico to the officers of the steamer Peytona and our gallant Captain) to deny these reports and declare such, to be false and without the least foundation, and will be indorsed in same by the whole of the Company. On out way down the river, the officers of the Peytona were extremely attentive to our wants' and comforts; by the citizens of the river towns we were warmly received, and many a "God speed" went with us when we left them. While in New Orleins, we had the best of quarters and subsistence. On eur way from New Orleans to Richmond, the citizens of the places where we changed cars, or were delayed, were tireless ln'their exertions to render ns comfortable fcr the time we remained with them. Wherever we stopped of any note, they turned out in masses to welcome us, and many wero the cheers that went up lor Old Kentnck aud the Davis Guards, accompanied by the waving of handkerchiefs in the fair hands of the ladies, who showered ms profusely with boquets.

Such demonstrations, Messrs. Editors, made us feel that we were not among strangers, and that when that coveted time arrived to meet the Vandals of the North, we would give the blow with three-fold force. We are encamped in a beautiful crovein sight of Newport New3 and the enemy's snipping, ana iiavo advantage ot fine salt water bathing, fresh fish, crabs.

A Sharp Skirmish Rebels Repulsed Ten or Fifteen KiUed A Brave Indiana Corporal Wounded Whereahouts of the Bebels and their Reinforcements Advance Movement of our Troops To-morrow. Prom the Cincinnati Commercial. Grattot, June 27. A sharp skirmish took place near Cumberland yesterday. A mounted scout of 13 Zouaves came in collision with 18 mounted rebels at Davis's Creek, ten miles from Cumberland.

A sharp contest ensued. The rebels were driven from their horses to the hills and the horses captured. In the fight, Corporal Hayes, of Company Indiana 11th, was wounded in ibe groin and shoulder, and received a sabre-thrust on the head and was placed hors du combat. He fought lying on his back, and is resorted to have killed five of the enemy. The Zouaves were delayed In their movements by waiting to procure a wagon to carry off their wonnded eomrade.

The rebels, meanwhile, were reinforced by forty mounted men, and the had te leave their horses ana take to the hills, reaching Cumberland at 11 o'clock last night, with two missing, one of whom was killed. They report from ten to fifteen rebels killed, and among them CoL Parsons, a noted Confederate. Col. Wallace sent out a considerable force to intercept the rebel scouts, but they had not returned when my informant left Corporal Hayes' -wounds aro flesh wounds. He is one of the bravest men in the regiment, and was noted lor personal daring in the Mexican war.

All qniet between this and Cumberland. The reDels are encamped between Bealing-ton and Laurel Hill, 13 or 14 miles from Phillippi. They are strongly entrenched on beth sides of the Bevelry Pike, with cannon in position. They have been reinforced, and their strength is variously estimated at from 5,000 to 7,000. I am net permitted to moke known the plans of attack, and can only say lhat if the rebels will stand, you will soon hear of the most decisive conflict of the war thus fax.

Movements have been delayed by the non-arrival of Government stores and means ot transportation, but everything is new nearly in readiness, and the "columns will soon move Brigadier Generals Morris and Schleich, and probably Gen. McClel-lan, will advance to Phillippi to-morrow. Gen. Dix te Take Command of McDowell's Division Slaves Returned Mrs. Lincoln.
