Mtj Dear Sir.»
I read with anusaal interest -tnd satisfac
tion the debate wbicb occurred in the Senate
on tbe l 16th ultimo, upon tho resolution of
Mr Trumbull, and desiro to express my
thanks for tho sentiments and thoughts Which
tbe occasion elicited from yon. My convic
tions and sympathies are with yon thoruugh-
when you say, “I do not believe that it
(imprisonment upon lettres tie eachct) pro
motes the purposes of those who desire to see
this Union brought together again, an object,
of all others to me the most desirable, if if
be possible."
In my estimation, the mover of the inquiry
deserves the gratitude of freemen everywhere,
and only nttera truth with foroe when be de
clares that “tho power* without charge, with
out examination, without opportunity of re
ply, at the cliek of the telegraph, to arrest a
man in a peaceable portion of the country
and imprison him” is “of the essence of des
potism ” And yet the publto mind thuB far
would seem to have been scarcely moro roused
by current events of this character than it
was years ago when we reoeivod accounts of
similar incarceration* ordered by the father
of the now deposed King of tho Two Sicilies.
How incredible it will appear hereafter, when
history shall be written up, that at this period
of the Republic, the constitutional safeguards
of personal liberty could have been so easily
and wiji so little apparent eoncern swept
away. 9
The Secretary of State, on tho 20th ult., four
days after the debate in which you participa
ted, addressed an official note to me, which
seems to illustrate, in a striking manner, the
slight grounds, or rather the groundless sus
picions, upon which, in'these times, citizens
are liable to suffer in reputation, if not in loss
of liberty. 1 replied without delay, and, so
far a* 1 am personally affected, may, I trust,
well leave the matter in qaiotness upon the
files of tbe department. It is my belief, how
ever, that no reoent measure has been fraught
with mote mischief than the issuing of Ultra
da cachet, and oonscqnent arrests and impris
onments in violation of the provisions of the
Constitution; and that tho earlier the system
is effectually checked, the better it will be for
the Government and the oonntry, as well as
for the subjects of oppression. The evidence
is a’bondant to show that the plea of ntctuiiy,
except in the presence or immediate neigh
borhood of hostile armies, where the admin
istration of law, under its usual forms, may
be inevitably suspended, is not graciously ac
cepted by the mass of tbe people Union,
without security for personal liberty, is not
tho Union which they have cherished, and to
tho restoration of which they look with earn
est hope and desire. Nothing, perhaps, could
could express more clearly their views on this
pout than the language of the great modaru
ristorian, who died at a comparatively recent
mriod, leaving his work Incomplete In trac
og tbe slices*eive step* in the progress of
British liberty. Mr. M*c*uley says: “We
have been taught by long experience, that we
cannot without danger suffer any breach of
the Constitution to pass unnoticed.” “ A3 we
cannot, without the risk of evils from which
imagination recoil?, employ physical force as
a check on misgovernment, it is evidently our
wisdom to keep all constitutional obccks on
lisgovernment in the highest state of efficien
cy—to watch with jealousy the fi’St hrgin
nings of encroachment, and never to suffer ir
regularities, even wbenharmb-ssin themselves,
to pass unchallenged, lest they acquire the
force of precedents.”

Reqimeht, ]•
Murfreesboro’-, Tentt., April 10, 1863. J
My Dear Regina :
Your welcome communication, of 31st nit.,
arrived in due time. It gave me muoh pleas
ure to hoar you Art in good health. We have
just returned from a grand thieving expedi
tion; some may dal!it a scouting party, bat
the most appropriate name is the former. We
captured about a thousand horses, five hun
dred negroes and two hundred prisoners. It
was the first trip I had been on of the kind.
We would go into the field where the negroes
were plowing and make them unharness and
get on the horses and strike out; enter the
smokehouses and take all the hams we oould
oarry and then barn the rest. The women
would cry and beg, bnt to no purpose. One
of our men was shot, and Dr. VertreeB and I
amputated his leg, at a Mr. Anderson’s. We
took all bis horses but one. This belonged
to a young lady, Who gave me, the mare, and
told me she would sooner make me a present
of her tha» to let the soldiers steal her. I
have got her; she is the finest animal I ever
saw I could talk about incident's for a
month th*t happened on this trip, but I will
refrain. I have got a very fine silk dress for
you and Nelly. I will send them as soon as
possible, tbe black one is for ygu and tbe
green one for Nelly. Yonr dress pattern is
worth $30 00: and also a fine scarf, red, you
may do as you please with it; I do not know
what the latter is for. Tom Cox, the man
that took the ci-ffee stole the silks and gave
them to me. He run out of money going
home, and sold the coffee.
I bave got a shot gun for Walter; a nice car
bine that will shoot a thousand yards for yonr
father; if I gets chance I will.send them
home. Officers are resigning every weak. I
will send yonr dresses next week by Capt.
Cox, be will express them fromOlney lam
not caring whether I get borne oruot; I coaid
only slay there a few weeks if 1 wwe to go,
and it will not cort any more for you to come
to *ro me, than for me to go and sea yon. Get
yonr olothing made and when you are ready
cum.-, let too know I want you to travel some
and this will be a ni» trip. When ever you
see l.VI Wilders’ Mounted Brigade mentioned,
look out for hre kers; they run the Rebels in
to tbe mountains and catch them. It is the
Brigade that tbe Moody 98ih belong to

North, and was there at tho time of the at
tack on Charleston, tells us-of-the way the
Yankees received the news from Charleston.
The first report that reached tho North was
that Charleston was taken and the city occu
pied by tbe Feilerals. The efl'-'Ct of this
nows was tremendous. Toe telegraph wires
flashed it in nn instant to every town and
village t in a half hour thousand-* of news
boys were out with their “extras,” screaming
themselves hoarse with tho cry, “Charleston
taken—Beauregard played out!” Fora while
the Yankees were wi'd with joy and delight.
New Y»rk was in ecstacies ■ Business was
for the time sn-pended, and tho streets were
crammed wi>h person; exchanging oongratu
lationB, adding, with a cordial shake uf tho
hand, “iB’nt it glorious news ?” All. the
newspaper offices were besieged by crowd* of
men anil ?«llinp -ayi, IwoafrUtff .irod
even Greeley in * his white coal.”- in his ex
ceeding great joy, was visible at the window
of his office, the scene in the snoots was
indosoribahle—one wild, Barging ma-B of bu
man beinge, frantic with joy and exoitement,
and jabbering away with a thousand discord
ant tongues.
The scene, our informant thinks, can be
likened to nothing but what we might imag
ine wquld be the effect of the pews of a de-
i-.’aration of peace, and threw into the shade
anything ever witnessed in New York, not
excepting the furore over the visit of the Ja
pantBo Embassy. In .thin ecataey of delight
New York fell to repose that night, butpn the
following morning, about 11 o’olook, came a
very different tale' The news came • hat they
had been repulsed at Charleston ! It fell like
a death-knell on the oity. At first it was not
believed, but graiually it became cmfirm^d
by later dispatches that morning. The tide
of joy changed, and New York looked as so
rioua and gloomy as a grave yard. Every one
wore a dejeoted look and passed along silently,
biting their lips with a kind of feeling alter
nating between disappointment and auger.-—
“Secesh” grew triumphant, and, by aside
glance,and smile, reminded the “ Yanks” of
their exultation on the day before, when they
had “Charleston taken ” This recollection
made the disappointment mors keen, and the
humiliation the more crushing The Yankees
were fairly blue.
They were as mute os a milo stono. The
very name of Charleston was a horror in’thelr
ears. Tbe whole city was paralysed under tho
depression. Every department of trade was-
flat, and the markets fairly wilted under the
effects of the newa. D : ssppointiuent anil
gloom hung like a pall over the oity, and the
change of New York from the day before; was
as great as from the marriage feast to the
death bed. One day all. joy and delight—an
other all grief and sorrow. To hide their hu
miliation tho papers got up the story that the
attack was but a “ reconnoiaance,” but this
was so ridiculous that it was openly confessed
the next day that the altaok was a failure, and
the movement against Charleston was indefi
nitely postponed.
The effect of the reverse at Charleston has
been to greatly discourage the Northern peo
ple?- They looked to iu capture next to that
of Biobmond. Now that it is shown that it
cannot be taken, and the expedition that was
fitted out on expense of millions of dollars,
turns out an utter failure, they despair of the
result of the coming campaign. Iu fact,
with their armies and fiesta held in check at
tbe most vital points, they know not what to
do, or against what place to move. Our in
formant thinks that they huve settled upon
tbe policy of inaetian, in the hope of .starving
as out. The accounts that have been taken
North of the “bread riots” bave caused them
to believe that we are on tho verge of starva
tion, and that if they will keep ns blockaded
and cut off from all foreign resources for six
months longer, our people will bo compelled
to capitulate and abandon the straggle This
delu-ion has fastened Itself apon some of the
most prominent men of the North, and they
are advocating it in preference to running
the risk of an active and offensive campaign.
Tbe recent reverse* seem to have convinced
the N-.rth that the South cannot be conquered
by the sword, and the Yankees now fall book
upon the idea started and encouraged by the
distorted reports that bav<»reached them of
our “bread riota,” that they wfll subjugate
os by starving us out.—Richmond Examiner

A human flower will bloom no more
On earthly shores, and the painful throbs

Weep softly—ree, she’s telling’sleep,
From every sin her pure soul's shriven—
The last breath has flown, the pearly gates epea.
And an other angel enters Heaves.
Fold the fair hands on the lily breast,
Kiss the aweet lips so palo and still—
Tiabetter that flowers shenid bloom In Heaven
Than droop on earth at human will; ,
Tis better that in the opening bloom . •
Of womanhood, so sweet and pore.
The spirit should find it* natire skies,
Where Iotb and Joy, and life endure;
Where hearts may be forever one,
And household bands be all complete—

The bitter’s mingled with the sweet t •
Bring roiea white to strew on her gntve,
Bring lilies with their scented bloom,
They typo the purity of her heart,
And softly gleam through all this gloom.
Let the turf be blooming over her now,
