New York, 2st. A special dispatch to
the Herald from Hagerstown 21st, says
reports are to the effect that great dis
affection exists among the troops at Har
pers Ferry on acconnt of the existanceof
several factions, one favors the annexa
tion of Va to the Confederate States, one
the unconditional separate independence
of Va, and the third unconditional Union.
Soldiers of both of the last two classes
refuse to take the oath of alleigance to
the Confederate States. The people of
Sharpsburg 13 miles southeast of the road
to Harpers Ferry swear that no more
soldiers of the Confederate States army
shall pass through their town.
The Tribune says yesterday by a bold
stroke the government obtained posses
sion of most invaluable documentary evi
dence against the sympathizers with trea
son in the North. At a given time the
officers of the law visited every consider
able telegraph office in the free States,
seizing the manuscripts of the dispatches
for a year past. The government can
now trace the secret opperation of the
rebels and their aiders and abettors, and
henceforth hold the northern enemies to
the republic at its mercy.
The Tribune's Washington correspon
dent says it is understood Gen Butler has
orders lo proceed at once to active move
ments in Va. and will directly remove the
obstructions in Norfolk harbor.
Gov Letcher has met with a loss, he

The small pox had broken out amon the
troops there.
A special from Chambersburg to the
Herald says a reliable Union man living
in Maryland says he was at Harpers
Ferry Friday night and saw 16 Indians
in one squad but did not see more. He
bleieves the soldiers are being scattered
over Berkley, Jefferson, Loudon, Frede
rick and Clark counties to carry them for
secession. The adjourned meeting of the
Wheeling Convention, June 4th, will be
attended by delegates from ccumips w-Pst
of the mountains, and the convention will
be urged to declare the conduct of the
authorities of Va usurpations of power
and the actors rebels and traitors. In.
stead of dividing the State the policy will
be proposed of forming a provisional gov
ernment for the whole State and an elec
tion will be proposed of a governor and
State officers.
St. Louis, May 22, A. M.
The treaty entered into yesterday be
tween Gen Price on the pan cf the State
and Gen Harney on the part c-f the Gen
eral Government, seems to please all
parties. The understanding between the
two governments seems to be to the effect
that the public peace throughout the State
shall be preserved, cither party doing
nothing to irritate the other. In order to
more effectually bring this abcut the laws
pasted by ihe Legislature in secret ses

THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 23, 1861.
The Eeal Issue.
We have great respect for the opinions
of those who differ wjth us politically or
upon any sensible question having two
sides. But we have no patience with, or
confidence whatever, in intelligent men
who at this day, and in the present state
of affairs; when the "hoofs and herns"
of the monster treason are unmistakably
'visible to the naked eye," talk about this
"war of sections," "this political war,"
"this aggress'ive war of the Administra
tion," ,this war against slavery," and all
thai kind of stuff. Its all bosh, and he
who utters it we can but regard as either
w)fully ignorant of the true causes of
the present unhappy condition of the
country, or is at heart a traitor. The
real issue is, that Jeff Davis & Co., al
ways traitors are seeking to destroy this
government and give us a monarchial one
in its stead ; while the administration,
sustained, thank God, by patriots of ev
ery political stripe, are endeavoring to
uphold and sustain it. Nobody wants or
intends to fight the South as a section, or
any oiher section, or to interfere with
property or rights of individuals or states,
be that slaves or cattle. But simply to
enforce the laws and maintain the Con
stitution. In doing this no man's rights,
liberties or property are interfered with ;
but, on the contrary, are protected and
preserved. -As American citizens we
have been taught to regard our relig
ious, educational, social, and political
liberties and privileges as sacred as life
itself. These cannot be enjoyed under
any other than a tree, republican form of
government. To perpetuate these, then,
our government must be upheld and pre
served. Our position is, that it matters not
what party is in power, or who is Pres
ident, or from whence or when the at
tack against the Government came it is
the duty of every patriot to sustain it and
crush out treason.
. i -
cline. We hope to see tnem nowever in
stead of leaving, stand firm for their rights
This is no time for yielding or backing
down. - This thing is going to be settled
in favor of the Union, and when settled
will be forever settled. Mark that!
Treason will never raise its head -in cur
land again.
It is a mistaken notion a great many
naturally Union men in Missouri have
fallen'into. They have concluded that
Missouri was bound to seceede anyhow
and as they were residents, and all their
property was there, it was policy to fall
in the current and go in for secession too.
The idea of Claib Jackson handing
Missouri over to Jeff. Davis may as well
be given up first as last. It never can be
done. The general government intends
that Union men and interests in Missouri
shall be protected ; they need have no

Kentucky out of the Union. It will not
do. The true issue is: Shall this govern

What Is Treason?
Those who sympathize with the South
ern Confederacy, as they are pleased to
term the rebel association, complain that
papers in support cf the Government ap
ply harsh epithets in using the terms
"traitors," "treason," &c. So far as we
are concerned, we are not disposed to
use harsh expressions in speaking of men.
The Constitution of the United States,
however, defines treason to be "levying
war against the Government." and a
traitor to be one who "gives aid and
comfort" to the enemies of the govern
ment. Now, v;hen we speak of the war
against the goremmcnt we can find no
other expression in the English language
to convey our meaning than the word

Joseph, Mo., of May 13. of making the necessary arrangements
The millitarv movements at St Louis for holding: an annual Fair the coming
has knocked the starch out of the rebels Fall. R. W. FURNAS,
in this vicinity. The State troops, ubout
200 in number, mostly armed with arms
stolen from the government arsenal, near
Liberty, have been encamped in this
place since the 3d of this month.
This morning quite a stir was observed
in tneir camp, ana iuaior omiin wno
was in command, scud and left Jeff
Thompson in charge. One-lhird of their
men seceded also, and the rest became
frightened, struck their tents and put out
for the couniry, where they could have a
better chance to run if anybody should
get after them. I think the movement
at St. Louis has had a happy effect, and
has saved the State.
Victory.
