THE VAGABONDS. "We are two travelers, Roger and I. Roger's my dog. Gome here, you scamp! Jump for the gentlemen —miati your eye ! Over the table—look out for the lamp !

There is n't another crealure living Would do it, and prove. throus.h every disaster, So fond, so faithful, anil so forgiving. To euch a miserable thankless master! No, Sir!—see him wag his tail and ttrin ! By George! it makes my old eys water! That is, there's Ftomething Lo this gin That chokes a fellow. But no matter. We'll have some music, if you're willing. And Roger (hem! what a plague a cough is, Sir!) Shall march a little. Start, you villain! Stand straight! 'Bout face! Sallute your officer! Put up that paw! Dress! Take your rills!

Chicago, June 2.—The following ia a corrected account of the federal repulse at Vicksburg, on May 2d. By 2 o'clock in the morning of the 22d, our artillery fired and destroyed three service magazines in the rebel forts; one on the centre and two on the loft of the centre. The 1st and 3d brigades of Logan's division, commanded by Generals Smith and Stevenson, advanced at 11 o'clock. Two rets of Stevenson's brigade were provided with g ladders, 10 feet long, but had no opportunity to use tbem, being driven back before reading the rifle pits. Logan's men went ou bravely, but were met by overwhelming numbers of tbe entrenched foo. Hundreds of tbem jumped iuto lbe ditches, but the number who reached the parapet was small. Nearly two companies rushed into the fort and were captured. The flag of the Seventh Missouri regiment was placed on lhe parapet, after seven colorbearers had been shot down. Amid a terrific storm of bullets and grape shot, the 3d brigade maintained its pt ilion until they rallied. They advanced holding their fire to pour into the rifle pits After their as cent of the parapet, tbe enemy gave them volley after volley, as tbey approached, Bonding terribl devastation among their ranks. Tbo lossofStev" enson's brigade will reach iuni*ly 300. To the left of Logan, in the centre, Gen, Quitnby's division joined tho assault. Like their brave comrades under Stevenson and Smith their valor and courage were groat, but tbey could not accomplish ie work aesigned to them. We were driven back ith heavy loss. On tho left. McClernand commenced his assult earlier than any other commander. The first advance was made by McCleniand's center, Smith's divisions of the two brigades, under Colonel Land- d General Ben bridge. As early as 11 o'clock, Landrum took the fort and was in actual possession of it. General Osterbaus, on their left, made a breach on thc soutli side of their works wilh Lee'a artillery. There were two companies of rebel soldiers in it; one ran away, and the other surrendered. Landrum, on obtaining possession ol the fort, put a force at wotk to throw up earthworl in tbe rear, eo as to bring tbe guns of the Jort to boar upon the rebels. In constructing their fortifications, the rebels left the rear ofall their forts open, to give an opportunity to assail our men iu the event ofour success iu driving them out. The flags of the Forty-eighth Ohio, Seventy- eeventh Illinois and Nineteenth Kentucky floated from the inner slope of the parapet from half-past i) A. M. till four P. M. At the latter hour the rebels were seen preparing for a charge to retake the fort, 0*f men did not receive the support whicli had been promised, and were compelled to fall back leaving the enemy again in possession of the fort. The gunboat Cincinnati was sunk bv the rebels opposite Vicksburg. Does it nol Freedom of thc Press. The troubles of the editors in Knrope are manifold. The last number of the Madrid Conlempo- ranco replaced its first article by the following lines: "First at nine o'clock tbis morning, a Gov em ment agent came and suppressed three para graphs of our leading article. Secondly, at halt; past nine another agent came and prohibited six other paragraphs. Thirdly, at a quarter to ten, a third agent called nnd suppressed the remainder of article. This incident is entirely new in the annals ol lhe press. Yet it Is said Spaiu possesses a constitutional government." Wa find the above in the Lafayette (Ind.) Courier a Republicau print. We do not hesitate to Bay that tbe Spanish method of attacking the liberty of the press, despotic and outrageous as it iB, is an improvement upon that adopted by the Couriers party in the United States in the last two years- Here we have uo censor legally appointed, but papers are suppressed by the Administration without note or warning of any kind. The boundary between what is legitimate to print and what is not legitimate, in tbe eyes ot the men in paper, is not defined, and a paper is liable to be suppressed by the ignorance of the editor ou that point. It is very easy to get along under the Spanish method, bnt not so easy uuder ours. The Courier's party also goes for destroying i papers by mobs, when an obnoxious article to them appears—for we have bad a number of instance? of that within the last few weeks. Although our Constitution guarantees entire liberty of the press, and givea the Federal Government no power whatever in the subject and though our authorities rn to support the Constitution, we have a system in vogue in thin heretofore land of liberty that is every way worse than that ofdespotieal a*--"*** monarchical Spain—Cincinnati Enquirer.

Wnr is tug North Disloyal ?: strike those republican journalists who are constantly crying out tbat the democratic majorities of tlie North are "disloyal" tbat the question must arise in every mind tbat accepts lhe charge, why are they disloyal ? The people of the North were never accused of indifference to their obligation to their country ; aod of all the Northern people the democrats were supposed to be the most in- I tense in their feelings of nationality, and so zealous in patriotism as to be accused of disdain of all interests that stood in the way of their country's rights and progress. It is admitted that in the beginning of the war' the masses were united, with little regard to party in the purpose of standing by the government and upholding the Union, at all hazards. Now we the strange spectacle ofthe minority arraigning the majority ou charge of disloyally ' Disloyalty to what and to whom? To the Constitution ? No, the majority are only too true to that ; It ia the minority, holding possession of lhe Government, Wlity Exaggerations* There is a species of humor peculiarly American whicb consists in grotesque hyperbole, the caricature of some (act whicb expresses it better than a faithful portrait would do. Some people take the snake and kill it when they wish to show It to ns. but the lively Yankees humorist just catch It by the as it passes, and stretches it into ludicrous proportions, as actors in panto-mines do tbe tails of those famous ductile dragons, which so astonish aod delight children. Instances of this wild and extravagant humor are ascommon as proverbs. Everybody has heard li of the weather which wns so cold that Uie mercury fc I went out of sight and which no doubt would have y been a good deal colder if the thermometer had ,. been long enough.—A similar exaggeration was He that a young man took calomel on a morning 'n'a so cold that the mercury ran dowo-jhis boots. And j*J speaking of boots reminds ua of the stage-driver (a who wore such large ones thai, he had to use the M forks of the road as a boot-jack. " The following passages are illustrations.

TEMMS, CASS. frV2H Tlie It Whou Dnpont, efytAnm months ago, electrified the country with lm lirilliant success in tb*> capture of Port 'Royal, thus securing in South Carolina a hnrbor for our nhi[>**-of-war nnd transport.-, and at the same time a base of operations against thut State, tht: news sounded like a death knell tothe bopes of the; rebellion. No doubt the insurgent letttlerfl fait that it would soon be the turn of Charleston and. Savannah to share tlio same EtttB, And who can doubt that, if ibe blow then atruck had been followed up iuimeili.rLteW by an aa-riiult on Charleston by hind aad water, that citv would bave fallen, as certainly as did Beaufort by the capture of the fortifications which protected it*? At that time Charleston was not fortified to any great extent. Now it is a stronghold greater than Sebas- topol and Cronst-idt. Bot why was not lho victorv in Port Royal harbor taken advantage of, and a fleet collected there at once to operate agaiu.-t Charleston '. or why whs Dot a sufficient army eent to se- ; a base, and take it in tbe rear, as it was taken the Rritsh rouinnuuler ? Why were the en- rera of the rebel army pennited dalibenrtely to make it impregnable? And, when that worse than irime was committed by tbo authorities at Wfish- ngton, why were the work a at Charleston attacked it all ? Thia was was only to heap blunder upon iluniler, like Pei'ion upon Ossa. is tha 8t>e$ blunder perpetrated, tbat ie parent of so many others? "Why was not Cb-irle;"ton, when it was weak, aasuUed lm mediately af:er the captui'o of Port Royut? It was because Mr. Chase and hma'.ies. of whom he is the representative iu ihe Cabinet, conceived the Idea of elevating the negro to a social and political equality with tlie whiia races in tbe United States, and determined that experiments should be made on the coast under tlie guns of one war vessels and the fortiflea tie us at Tlii ton S.Iead. Tee negroes. young nnd old, must be taught tbe -alphabet and ducated so us to rend Hintou Bo\van Helper's book nd tlie Tribune newspaper before Charleston is attended to, or any other naval or military opera tions undertaken in South Carolina. To make white men out of blacks dyed in the wool was Far more im portant lhan the military and naval results which would flow from the fail ofthe city where the rebel banner was first raised aud the Sag of the Union the dust. Teachers ai.d preachers of both eonites, members of the Freed in erf a As- et hoc genus oiiuie, from Boston, New Philadelphia, took the iiegfoes iu hand, under the auspices of th'e War Department and ■■retary of the Treasury. The generals ofthe find the army itself, were made subservient tothe grand design—helps to missionaries and evangelicals—instead of marching against the enemy, Meantime the people have to pay tha piper. All this felly is consummated at the expense ot Uncle Sam, and Sambo begins to think be is uot only as good aa a wbite man, but a great deal better. Gentlemen of color, about whom the government and thc array were mating such a fuss, surely could not be expected to work.— Henceforth labor wins be for the white man, and the negro was to eat the bread o! idleness. The schools failed, the negro was neither willing to work nor to fight. Attempts were made to organize brigades ol blacks; but that device broke down. Cotton raising was inaugurated; but tbat. too, was a tail ure. Meantime no small amount of private immorality aod public plunder were carried on at Hilton Head by the agent** of the process f&P whitewashing the negroes, The experiment to change tha laws of nature totally sailed. But meantime, while the array and ita generals were engaged iu this business, or were rotting from inaction, or demoralized and divided in sentiment by tbe firebrand of the negro question sent in among thero, the rebela were working hard at their fortifications in Cnarleston harbor, and the opportunity to take thecity passed awny. By the result ofthe late futile attempt to capture it, onr army, navy and conntiy ate disgraced in the eyes ol the civilized world. "Sueh are acme of the bitter fruits of the fanaticism which horn first to last has controlled the war, and rendered its history one ot eontinued disaster and shame. The railroad depot at Terre Haute, Ind.. was struck by lightning* on the IS ult. The agent of the voad (Charles Cocbaue,) who who was deaf in OQ6 ear, was knocked from his seat, and rendered for a lew moments iti'sensible. When he recovered he found his bearing reslored.

CL] "With deep grief the Commanding General announces to the army the death of Lieutenant Geu. eral T. J". Jackson, who expired on tbe l(H.h instant, at a quarter past 3 p. ii. The daring skill and energy qf this great aud good soldier, by an all-wiae Providence, ere now lost to us. But wliilu ne mount his death, we feel that his spirit Mill live*, and will inspire the whole army with his indoin.- table courage nnd unshaken confidence in God as our hope and strength. Let bis name be a watchword to his corps, who have followed him to victory on so many fields. Let tba officers &11*d >ol- diers imitate his invincible determination to do everything iu the defence ofour beloved country fl. £. Ltu.;, Genera). Since the death of Washington, no similar event Imb'fo profoundly impressed the people uf Virgin as the death of Jackson. The surprise and aiimi- ration with which bis earlier feaU in the war wen regarded had long since ripened into cordial (frail tude for his -services, boundless confidence in his capacity, enthusiastic afleciion for his person, and sincere ven era tier, for liis character. They hud come, too, to regard him as one of those men who have a mission to tullill, and who bear a charmed life. The providence 09 wbich he had bo firmly retied had seemed to shield him Irom harm, and there was a sort of superstitious faith that he would pass nii^eatbed through all dangers to the ei,d Thoy yvere not however, prepared for the crnei mischance that struck him down, and still less for th fatal result which has -speedily followed. There i not one loyal heart in all thki commonwealth, not one in all this confederecy, that has not, or will not sicken and sink with griel at his fall. Were it possible to restore him, we beiieve there ara thou, sands who would give their own lives to ransom him from the captivity of death. For all this love tor him living, aud all thia grief for liim dead, there was reason etiough ; for in the great struggle -.vliicli now engages all hearts und hands, he was himself a power equal to many regiments of armed meu. He had thrown into it the energies of a mighty spiiit, the resources of a greftt Intel' leet. What others did or attempted from impulses of ambition, patriotism, or a sense of duty, he did Irom compulsion of conscience end a reverential conviction of obligation to his Mailer. He did i t with all the strength ot mind, soul, and body. So actuated, he thought not qf cou.sequences to himself—of dangers to be encountered or glory to be won: and, so acting, he left nothing undone that was possible of accomplish j-jjent. There is no need new to rehearse his deeds, they are IVesii in the memories ofall. But memorable a-j those deeds are, and destined to become lessons for military aludents for long ages to come, it was not perhaps so union whai Ul his brief b:;t srowclet) career he accomplished, as themauuer in which he did what ever most liif'fj-mlt feat lay before, and the ability I'e thus manitesti-d for more arduous and mouien- t.ci.is acbieveinei.Us : that ixpfeliila vliu wonderful growth ofhis fame, and will i_-ive him a place in history among the most renowned heroes* and captains of ail ages.

A tetter from London to tbe Philadelphia In ■ quires allude* to facts wliich tiie Kuglish newa- papec chunubly suppressed, as follows : I ats sorry to see that a very unpleasant demonstration wasiuade ac .Vanci* v-t'-T, las: Tee-day, concerning which it is well that you should hav* full particulars, It appears that a meeting of the operatives in Manchester had been called lor that day, and it was announced tbat Ret, C. .W. Dennison, Chaplain of the George Griswold, would be present. Tins was all very well, and the Manchester operatives would gladly have listened to an address from that gentleman. But the managers of tli* meeting, very ill-advisedly, nlso announced that on the occasion fifte-.ni thousand loavfs of bread would be distributed, composed of ths flour brought by iheGeoige G;:--.wo V, aa£ rr-[*r..:-:.cntiiig lha number of barrels ofthe st&lfof lif« that composed bur cargo. This is a purely English way of dolutf things, lo the very d is bin semen t of charity there must be a "fuss" ubont it. They overlooked the fact that'while the Mauchester operatives would thankfully participate in the American contribution, when presented to them in tbe proper maunor. tbey were still men and women enough to resent the idea of being paraded like so many paupers and sent home each witb a loaf of bread under bis arm. The managers may have meant wdl enough, but were sadly mistaken in their policy, Possibly h I'.o'.er, if let albno, the operatives would havu submitted to this public system of charity, but il waa too good an opportunitv for the Liverpool Secessionists to lose. Taking advantage ot tbe circum- siances, their emissaries were sent down BOTOBg the Manchester masses, aud lbe result was that when lhe hour (or Ihe mooting arrived, instead of an anxious and grateful assemblage of men and women, there was only an excited and almost infuriated mob. I cpar e you the details but tbe end waa tbat fifteen thousand loaves of breed, eacb weighing two pounda —thus representing some one hundred and fifty barrels of Hour—were taken from tbe pans and thrown into the mud, wliere it was trampled under foot. Tbe mob pelted each other with the convenient missilea, and a scene of excitement aud confusion ensued, better imagined than deacribed. Of (romse, tbe meeting, as such.was broken up, and the day terminated in tbis disgraceful row. Theia are lhe facts, for whicli I have no comment. Tus: Public Men ci* the United States—The Edinburgh Review, speaking of tho pubic men of the United States, indulges iu the following remarks: "Pew things have more suprised the world than the deterioration of the public men of the United States, When the Statea were a mere agjjregltttj of scantily-peopled colonies—when their principal citizsns were planters, shopkeepers or traders, traiued up iu tho narrowness and prejudices and petty employments of provincial lif-i, tbey produced statesmen, negotiators, embassadors and legislators, whose names will be forever illustrious iu history. Now tbat thoy form a great empire; that they possess -a. large class «f men, born in opulence, lo whom all schools and \vE\- versiiies of each hemisphere are open—wbo have leisure to pursue their studies, and to acquire the habits of political life, few of their pubiic men would pass in Europe for second rate." A bearer of dispatches Irom Ptmberton to Johnston, who left tbe rebel Hues last Thursday, came directly to our lines and communicated their contents to G-en. Grant, It is stated that the Federals numbers and position will be absolutely impregnable in a lew days. 1 cannot give Lbe particulars, but they are ol the inoet cheering character. Geo. Banks moved from point lo point with perfect cooluesa. The fight without doubt will bo renewed ou the 20th. The most perfectcouttdenco is felt that the rebels stronghold will succumb to the Union forces. Reinloreemeiits are being sent forward from New Orleans. The rebel Governor, Moore, of Louisiana was arrested by the Provost Marshal of Plaqueiuiue District, and is now in mil itary custody io New Orleans. The Raid-;!) (N. C.) Standard, which came out against the 'Richmond authorities, speaka ua follows in a recent arlic.le : "If their cause should become merely the cause of Davie and Seddou; if partyism should take the place of patriotism in tha aduiinistrfition of the government, the cry in thia S:ate will be 'To your tenis, 0 Israel.' North giro I ina will never hew wood and draw water lor those who delight to underrate her. She must be equal to the other Stales of the Confederacy, or she will leave it, and endeavor to take caro of Ni*:w Yok:-*;. June 4.—A Peaee Convention wta held at Cooper Institute yesterday p, a. The priu cipal speaker was Fernando Wood. Tho resolutions declare fealty to the constitution and the sovereignty ofthe people; that under the coustitution there hi uc power to coerce a State, or any of Ihem, by military force; that it was contrary to the constitutiou.aud should be put ao end to; that the attempt to do away wilh the provisions of the coustitution which points out bow crimes are lo be punished, are a high-handed violation of the BW( torial i duti ofo tilers; the cla ms ol dieta- )d the trial ane enbn ecrable; that the dogma of uul ^^^^^^^^ to the Executive branch oS the government is unworthy of American citizens; lhat they protest against the cowardly, despotic, inhuman uud accursed act Of the banishment of Vallarrdigbr.ni; that they recommend the suspension of hostilities and the holding of a convention to settle the manner ofa reconciliation ot the contending sections, and appointing a State Committee for calling future conventions of the peace Democracy. The Times' special says the enemy's movemeute have taken a positively defined shape. During the last twenty-four hours their columns have been in motion iu a southerly directioo. Constant balloon ascensions yesterday discovered heavy clouds of dust occasioned by the marchiug of coulinuotii bodies of troops, on the Gordonsville, road aa well as the disappearance of many camps heretofore in sight, and the doubling of their pickets along the Rappahannock. An nrfiele on Tennessee affairs says, on lhe fate of Vicksburg depends the (ale of Tennessee : if we play eternal smash with Grant, then good byo to Loseeracs ; but if Grant givea Pembhirton hia quietus, then a long farewell to tbe proposed reoeeopacion of Nashville, nnd Southeru Kentucky. The Mobile Register, of the __7ib, likewise admits the fate of our empire hangs ou the struggle iu M i-sissippi. The Era, ot the 29th, says our information from Port Hudson is not very full, but we are in possession of enough to assure our readers that there ia every reason to take a cheering and hopeful view of events. "We bave no hesitation in saying lhat the result of the fighting there has beeu decidedly favorable to our arms. That the result will be such as to gladeti every loyal heart, we have no doubt. War Lech;ukit.—A leuer from Mr. Crossette to the Butte Rceord, bas the following items: "Miss llartv.ell," the •'patriotic" young lady who turned a child out ol school at ludiauapolis, aud punished liim severoly for wearing a '■Copperhead pin, on Friday uight last eloped to Canada wiih a negro preacher by the name of Ward.

And slept out-doors when nights were cold ;
Aud ate and drank—and starved
-togetlie:
We've learned what comfort is, I tell you!
A bed on the floor, a bit of rosin,
A fire to thaw our thumb*, {poor fellow I)
(The paw he holds up there's been frozen,)
Plenty of catgut for my fiddle,
(This out-door business is bad for strings,)
Then a few nice buckwheats, hoi from lhe griddle.
And Roger and I set up for kings !
No, thank ye. Sir—I never drink ;
Roger aud 1 are exceedingly moral—
Are n't we Roger? See him wink I
Well, something hot, then—we won't quarrel.
He's thirsty, too—see liim nod bis head !
Whal a pity, Sir, that doge can't talk 1
He understands every word that's said—
And he knows good milk from watur-and chalk.
The truth is. Sir, now I reflect,
I've been so sadly giv**flh 10 grog,
I wonder I've not losi the respect
(Here's to you, Sir!) even of my dog.
But he clicks by, through thick and thin;
And this old coat, witti its empty pockets,
And rags that smell of tobacco and gto.
He'll follow while he has eyea in his sockets.
There is n't another crealure living
Would do it, and prove. throus.h every disaster,
So fond, so faithful, anil so forgiving.
To euch a miserable thankless master!
No, Sir!—see him wag his tail and ttrin !
By George! it makes my old eys water!
That is, there's Ftomething Lo this gin
That chokes a fellow. But no matter.
We'll have some music, if you're willing.
And Roger (hem! what a plague a cough is, Sir!)
Shall march a little. Start, you villain!
Stand straight! 'Bout face! Sallute your officer!
Put up that paw! Dress! Take your rills!
(Some dogs havo arms, you soe!) How hold your
Cap while tlie gentlemen give a trifle
To aid a poor old patriot soldier!
March! Halt! Now show how the rebel Bhakea,
Wheu he stands up to hear his sentence.
Now tell us how mauy drams it takea
To honor a jolly new acquaintance.
Five yelps—that's five; he's mighty knowing
The night's before us, fill the glasses!
Quick, Sir ! I'm ill —my brain is going '
Some brandy—thank you
-there !■

Why not reform ? That's easily said .
But I're gone through snch wretched treatment,
Sometimes forgetting iho taste of bread.
