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.” Who in our land will affirm that any other doctrine is worthy ef those who hold their rights under a solemn, written charter T It i* Tli< Intolerable Yankee and nis t'rl-vate Epistles. have received the Yankee mail lately eapmrod by our cavalry, on itB way from Murfreesboro*; we havo devoted many hours to nu at ion live perusal of its contents; wo have rend page after page irom tho nffioer of rank down to the rankloss private; and the iinlirii iTiiiss now lies before us in one strange salmi*: uiidic.f depravity, ignorance and shame- lets blasphemy; never, ftjthe whole course of out life, have-we witnessed such a heap of irr- niiioa. uhatraot nr. human.

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.

I A gentleman who has just arrived from tbe 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 For tho Confederacy IB MEMORY.
