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 !
The rogue is growing a little old ;
Five years we've   tramped   through wiud and
weather,
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

al meant,
with thinking.
Why not reform ?    That's easily said .
But I're gone through snch wretched treatment,
Sometimes forgetting iho taste of bread.
And scarce remembering what m*   '
That my po<sr stomuch's past refor
And there are times when, mad '
I'd sell out heaven for something warm
To prop a horrible inward sinking.
:Is there a way to forget to think?
At your age. Sir, home, fortune, friends,
A dear girl's love—bat I look to drink ;
The Same old story ; you know how it ends.
If-you could have foi.ii these classic features—-
Yon. need n't laugh, Sir ; tliey were not then
Such a burning libel on God's creatnree ;
I waa ono of your handsome men 1
If you had seen HKB, so fair and young.
Whose head was happy on tbis breast!
If you could hawe heard the pongs I sung
When the wine.waut round,
guessed
That ever I, Sir. should.be straying
From door to door, with fiddle and dog
Ragged and penniless, and playing
To yoU'to to-night for a glass of grog !
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.

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*--"***

The New York   World thus alludes to   tho telegraphic falsehoods of the last week.     It says :
Within the past few weeks we have been told
that tbo Yazoo Pass Expedition was a success, whieh
was fulse ; that twenly-odd transports and seven
thousand men had been captured at Yazoo City
which was false ; that Haines' Bluff had been takom
and Vicksburg evacuated, which waa false; that
Admiral Farragut's whole fleet had passed the Port
Hudson batteries, wbich was false ; that the In-
dianola had been recaptured as good as new, which
was false; that Lake Providence canal was "all
right,'' which was falsa; that tbe (among "cut off"
was ready for service, which was false ; and finally,
that a Union fleet had reached tbe Yazoo by means
of the Sun Flower River, which was also false."

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 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

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.   The Di
man out West whose legs are so long that he had  J*
to go down cellar to take off his shoes.   The  man
who is so large that he has to get   out of doors Is.   a
turnover.    The man who snored  so loud   that  he I JJ
had to sleep in the next street to keep from waken" i

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.

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

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

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

"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

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

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. The old Mother Stale thai, bore
liim is not sterile. The eourederacy lor whicli he
fought is fruitful of men; bnt it is not to he expected
that this war will produiw, or this generation see
one who in all resiiecls wili fill tiie groat space he
has lelt void- Gibers may have his genius
devise, others bis energy to execute, others liis pu-
ri!y ol life, aud others his stern and solemn "sell

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
