MASSEY A
Tesachrrt ANI* iT« Rkwabd.—The Rich
mood “Examiner” of the 1st of August says :
There is no doubt that tho vilest treachery
was practiced on the Manassas Railroad, to
defeat a junction between the forces of (ienp.
Johnston and Beauregard. The train cou-
ductor, when seized and obarged with his
treason, confessed to having been tampered
with by the enemy, and to have received the
sum of eight hundred dollars to contrive to
defeat the union of our forces, tio soon ns he
reached Manassas, he was tried, and ordered
by Gen. Beauregard to be shot. It is only by
such stern and severe examples, that treason
oan be put down, and our soldiers preserved
from destruction. Our informant learned
that, on the same day, a like stern visitation
of justice was meted out to a lecreant Geor
gian, oaught in the act of piloting the enemy
in (heir march on our lines.
A Rich Hpeclmen of the Aurora Horeall*.
From the New York Herald, July 31.
How to End the War by next May.—Con
gress has voted 600,000 men and $500,000,-
000 to carry on the war in whioh the govern
ment is embarked to put down the great re
bellion. There is nothing left for us but to
go through it; but the questiou is, bow it can
be carried to a speedy termination; for a long,
languishing war would be destructive to every
interest. The plan, then, is to raise 600,000
men instead of 600,000, and to raise a loan of
$600,000,000 instead of $500,000,000. The
defeat at Bull Run will make the war coat us
$100,000,000 more than would have been
necessary had not that foolish advance on
Richmond been made. Under the organizing
mind of McClellan, let the 600,000 meu be
sent to some twenty or thirty camps of in
struction, and, after being duly drilled and
formed into corps under the best officers, let
200,000 be placed on the line of the Potomac
by next October, and then let 200,000 be sent
down the Mississippi, capturing all the cities
on its banks, including New Orleans. Then
let 200,000 more be sent by sea to operate in
sundry columns from the Atlantic coast, cap
turiog Charleston, Savannah, Mobile aud
Pensacola. As nearly the whole fighting el
ement of the South is now in Virginia, the
ootton States would be rapidly conquered; for
the rebel army between Richmond and Vir
ginia could not go to their relief, with 200,-
000 Union troops in their rear, on the banks
of the Potomac, ready to march after them,
taking Richmond on the way.
As the slaVs are mostly to be found in the
cotton States\these contraband goods would
become spoils of war, together with all the
real and personal estate of the secessionists,
in pursuance of toe act recently introduced
into Congress confiscating all the property of
the rebels—houses, lands, horses and negroes.
The slaveholders in the revolted States num
ber about 800,000. ’J heir slaves number
about 3,000,000. There are about 750,000
poor whites, heads of families, in those States,
who have no slaves and no intereat in slavery.
Let the slaves be sold to them at $25 per
head, the price of a live Yankee oaught at sea
by the privateer* of Jefferson Davis—the
terms to be either cash or credit, to be re
deemed in cotton. This sale would at once
create a majority of Union men throughout
the South, while it would realize a sum of
seven hundred and fifty millions of dollars,
whioh would pay the expenses of the war.—
Then the cotton of the present slaveholders,
which will be found accumulated at the sea
ports and other points, must also be seized
and sold to England aud France. - Tho pro
ceeds of this sale would give us a handsome
profit on the war, filling the treasury and
saving our government the necessity of tax
ation by revenue, or iu any other shape, for
years to come. Thu* would the war be fin
ished, peace established and the Union restor
ed. And all this may bo done before the 1st
of May, 1H62. If it be not done, it will only
be because we have not the right kind of meu
to comprehend the plan or to carry out the
programme.
Greeley Fledged to give up tlie struggle.
Some two weeks ago the New York Tribqjie
published an article containing the following
passages:
The simple question to be decided is—arc
Northern men the equals of Southern ? or are
they poltroons, who will run at the sight of a
line of advancing bayonets? And one fair
battle will settle this conclusively. There is
no need of a long war—no chance for it, un
less policy and craft will *o havs it. Lst fifty
thousand dtfendera of the Union beat as many
rebela in fair battle, and the wur will he sub
stantially ended.
If, as we rejoice to hear, Gen. Scott is now
ready to try conclusions with Jeff. Davis and
Beauregard, the war is near ita end. We say
this in no boastful spirit—we concede the
possibility of the rebels proving the stronger
party; but, if they do, let us frankly own it,
and promptly arrest the wanton effusion of
blood. And if they cannot keep the field
against us, they will do likewise.”
In another editorial which appeared subse
quently, the Tribune says:
“ This war is costing the Government from
twenty to forty millions of dollars per month,
and the country—in the disruption and stag
nation of its industry—a good deal more. We
are naturally anxious—being ouraelvea heavy
sufferers along with onr neighbors—to see
this deplorable state of things brought to an
end at the earliest noasihle moment. We be
lieve the misery endured every week through
out the land, because of idleness and want,
outweighs the suffering that would result
from twe or three smart battlns. In short,
we believe the patriot soldiers are to day able
and eager to whip the rebel*, and we want to
*«* them allowed to try. If they art not able
to thrash the trailers in a fair, stand up fight,
ourpride revolt* at the idea of alowly starv
ing them into subjection, or whipping them
by virtue of money borrowed in Europe. W'e
■ay, challenge them to meet the patriot volun
teer* in fair fight; if they qnail they are ruin
ed ; if they fight and are beaten, they must
give it np; while if they beat m, we ongkt to
do the same. Let ns have this matter decided
foithwith, so that our brave men may quit
•oldleriog and return to more profitable vo
cation*.”
