Camp ALL2oßAirr,_ j
Pocahontas County, Va,, r
Bth December, 1881, )
Mb. Editok—As you have been kept pretty well
advised of the situation and movements of the
army an this lice, by correspondents in the First
Georgia Regiment, (soixe of whom are from your
city, l l have not thought it neoeesary to write to
yon Is often as I would otherwise have done.—
My letters would necessarily have containedmany
things that have beeD more interestingly commu
nicated by other correspondents. Since the First
Georgia have removed from here, however, (we
understand to Winchester,; I have thought it not
amiss to furnish you »aeh items of information
here as may prebably lot ■ »st our friends at
boms.
The order for removal from Camp Bartow, first
em braced the 12th, along with the Ist Georgia
Regiment, and it gave much pleasure to our
whole command, fcjome thought It was a move
towards Georgia, others, cot so hopeful, were
atilt delighted to get out of these mountains, no
ma'ter where we might go. The order was
chaug* and, however, before we moved, the Twelfth
Oooig.a to remain on the top of the Alleghany,
and one of the Virginia Regiments to take our
place with the First Georgia, This was sad news
to us ail, and our spirits tell from—almost the
boiling j oint, to several degrees below zero.
It seemed unjust to place us, some ol whom are
from a climate, almost tropical, upon these bleak,
snow-ch and mountains, and send Virginia troops,
whose homes are here, and who are accustomed,
by life-long training, to the seasons here, into
other portions of the service. Obedience, howev
er, is ti. so (tier law, and we are here “upon the
top mas', height” of the Alieghaajs, to do or to
Bother whatever “the powers that be” may re
quire. Toe mo tarns tower magnificently arouo'*
us, and the ar.ow upon tbvir summits glistens in
the sunshine with a beauty to which our South
ern eyes are unaccutto i ed. Thie seems vary
pltasnut, doubllei-s, to thosa who only think of it,
and who have the love ol nature very prominent
ly developed in their organism But with us,—
such hae been our experience—the mountains
ha -e Inst their romance, and degenerated into
huge heaps of vulgar earth; and we perceive ootb
:r f 111 th* snow, hut its power to obill and freeze.
The ott-quoted, beautiful, and truthful liue.
i distanc* lends enchainment to the view,”
flnus a moat upt, uud striking ll ustratiori, in its
application to snow-covered mountains.
I incline to thin, boweveu that the present, is
va* a permanent arrangement. The camp bus
been in. with rumors of our removal from this
p av , lor stveral days, and there are movements
going ou about Head quarters, that look very
significant on this connection. What will be our
destination, if removed, is entirely uncertain '
whether into winter quarters, elsewhere, or into
some portion of thu service where we may par
ticipate in an active winter campuign, of course,
we would all prefer to go to Georgia It would
be more pieassut, because of a more cougeoial
climate, and as our beloved Georgia is threatened
with invasion, we are anxious to be there, that
we may aid in the defenoe of our own homes and
families against their ruthless assailants.
Another consideration it seems to me, renders
It eminently proper that we should b j sent to
Georgia. Our regiment has been so weakened
and reduced by the laborious and exhausting
summer campaign through winch we have gone,
and the camj> diseases which have preyed so
disastrously ’ upon us, that we need recruiting
and recuperation. Dis out of the queßtiou to
reouver it in this climate, and if we remain hero,
next spring will hud us almost inefficient, and
unfit for service Yet, we will take the part that
may bo assigned us, under the conviction that
the eau.-e in which we are engaged, and the stake
we have involved in this struggle, is entitled to
uuy sacrifice thul may be necessary to our suc
cess. Anselm.
A Yanxee Letteh wkit*h Down OK A Ken
tucey Editor.—The Louisville correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial is down upon the
Uniou shrieking editor oi the Louisville Demo
orat in the following decidedly sharp style s
The Daly Democrat of this city has lately dis
tinguished ltßelf iu discreditaole attempts to ex
oite and foster pro slavery prejudices by indectnt
attacks and misrepresentations of the unti-slave
ry portion ol (he North. In the face ol the ob
literation of all party ties in the North by tbo
war, Us editor has the meanness to speak of that
element as Black Republicans. The good taste
and policy of his course will bo readily appre
ciated from the fact that at least one half of the
Union soldiers now in Kentucky belong to the
category hu attempts to lower in the opinion of
the jieople of this State. His puerile war upon
what lie terms the Northern abolitianists will rts
sul in no good either to his paper or those ha
endeavors to influence. If he is at all capable of
grasping at events he must see that the abolition
of slavery, although uot the direct object of the
war, will necessarily follow it. ills efforts to con
vince his re iders that the main cause of the re
moval of Fremont was his famous proclamation,
and that the Federal government will shape its
policy with a special view to the preservation of
the peculiar institution, are entirely fallacious.
He cannot deny that there is no essential differ- j
enco between the essence of Fremont’s procluma- <
tiou and the course presented to the commander
of the land forces ot tbo Southern expedition by
Secretary Cameron. Or will he contend that the
government is going to turn slave holder aud
slave trader, by continuing in or returning to in
voluntary servitude those it invites under its pro- i
taction ? Does he believe that Union soldiers I
will allow themselves to he degraded by being re- j
dueed to sluve overseers? If ho read his ex- j
changes during the last week, he must be aware,
furthermore, that General Hunter has adopted a j
oourse more unfavorable to the tutur© of slavery
in Missouri than even Fremont himself, by de
clining to return fugitive slaves over to Union
men, ami simply giving them certificates of loss,
with a view of iiieir possible indemnification by
Ooegns-. It would be muon easier, indeed, on
his part, to prepare his readers for the ultimate
perils of the rebellion, viz : the abolition of
slavery, than to excite expectations in them that
cannot fail to prove grevious hallucinations.

Gex. Hallecx’s Peak.— The usually TveiMuform
ed St. Louis correspondent of the Cincinnati Eu
quirer, writes as so! to thut paper :
The newspapers ot this country are continually
oh rluiif to the expedition down the Mississippi
tie, r, i,> H that was ar'ually the csnlemplatcil
prouruuime of the movement noderGen. H.illeek.
The rovenn nt will not be down the Mississippi
riv-r, but go on tho Tennessee, where Gen. Hal
leek's foi o-s - 76,000 strong—will cave the river
and uittroh in the tear of Columbus, llickman
and other points toward Memphis. This uiuuoeu
ver w’il compel the rebels at Columbus and other
points to tall back on Memphis, thus leaving the
river clear tor the gunboats and transportation
vessels to pass up and down unmoleste .
The Conte crates are-oocupyiug tber time in
forming New Madrid, Columbus, and other

communication with the South, the Confederates
will have to all back. N'o defenses have been
thrown up on the Tennessee river, and the con
tinual running up and down that stream of gun
boats has kept tae shores entirely clear of masked
batteries aud fortifications. Our urmy will meet
with no resistance, aud will by this movement
accomplish tbe same result without loss of life
ana property that the river expedition might
have doue after severe loss on both sides, and a
fearful destruction of property, both private and

The column of Major General Halleok will move
forward in conjunction with Gen. Buell’s division

party the enemy are annoyed at the uncertainty
of the points our commanders shall attack ; for
instance Memphis will not be taken via Columbus
and the river: Richmond will not be captured
via Manassas ; nor will the naval fleet make its

Speculating Georgian*.
A correspondent of the Louisville Courier gives
the following account of the trade transactions of
the Georgia soldiers stationed near Centreville,
ha. The Georgians may have got the better of
the Kentuckians in the whiskey line—they took
advantage of the well known penchant of their
customers for the article-bat had they encoun
tered them in a horse trade, our boys would have
been put up to a Yankee trick or two they never
d, earned of. That game of cards mentioned
proves that Kentuckians can deal in stoci of other
kindstban live stock. We have a great respect
fer Daniel Boone, and as for Kentuckians, we
won’t be “ slanderous of a brave and noble peo
ple.”
W e cannot hope to attain the speculating talent
ol the Georgians (who are in our Brigade.) In
cidental y, Imight as well mention an instance of
their genius in this line. Recently two of them
(officers) received each a five gallon demijohn of
p :.ch brandy from home. Over ten gallons were
sold of the pure stuff at per quart, what was
1, t was resolved into genuine Cognac and brought
|2 per bottle, while a considerable remainder was
s .id as whisky at |2 per pint Including all these
sales (mostly mads to Kentuckians) there was a
sufficiency left to supply the hospital board of a
certain Captain, who invited one of our Regiment
to a game of cards. Result of said game—Geor
gian minus half a month’s wages. The Georgians
are our Yankees and no mistake. For bartering,
trading, dealing, dickering, chaffering, or by
w hatever name you choose to call it, they “ beat
all creation.” Whiskey they manufacture in
camp, the requisite for their distilleries being two
kettles and the intestine of a hog. In apples,
pies aud all sorts of things they trade vehement
ly, aud I know but few who would not sell yon
the uniform off his hack. This may he consider
ed slanderous of a brave and noble people. I
grant the bravery of the Georgians, and I yield
to no one iu the respect ad deference I bear

Tan Teocbx.es in East Tennessee—Noeth
CaeoEixa Invaded.—The Asheville (N. C.) News,
of the "th lust., say* .
A terrible state of affairs exists in the border
counties of Tennessee. A fight occurred last
week at Parrottsville, Crike county, about fifty
miles from this place, in which Captain Gorman
and two privates of tne Confederate oavalry were
killed. A messenger reached this place day be
fore yesterday froQi the commanding officer at
Greenville, Tenn., urgently requesting that a
force be immediately dispatched to the aojoining
couDty of Madison to intercept some two or three
hundred Tennessee aud North Carolina tories
who had fled before the Southern troops and
takeu refuge in the mountains of Madison county.
About one thousand tories, the messenger in
formed us, were at Newport, in Cocke county,
armed and organized. Col R. B. Vance’s regi
ment had been ordered to disperse them, aud
would, i was supposed, reach Newport last Tues
day. Nothing definite has been heard since, but
it is presumed a collision has taken place before
now.
We learn that a great many arrests havo been
made, and no little old-fashioned hanging has
been done at Greenville. The authorities having
exhausted all mild remedies, are determined to
oruah the rebellion by force, and te&ch the trai
tors that the Southern Confederacy is a Govern
ment with ample power to enforce obedience to
the laws.
A Faithful Negho. — A correspondent of the
Troy (Ala.) Advertiser, who was engaged in the
late bombardment near Pensacola, relates the
following noteworthy incideut of a faithful negro
during the action :
“ I must now tell you about our old servant
Jim. Jim is about sixty yearß of age, and be
longs to a Mr. Siaquetield, near Perote. Jim has
been in our company lor some time as a cook,
besides several others—but when the firing com
menced every negro left camps in doable quick
time except Jim, and he stood up to us like a
man, and offered his services to the company iu
any way that they thought proper, and he was
put to cooking. The pieces of bombs would lre-
I quentlv strike Jim’s cook-house, but to no pur
pose; he would cook the victuals and then carry
them to the boys at their guns, during the hot
test of the battle. While passing from the cook
house to the battery, a ball struck the ground so
near him that it knocked him down and nearly
covered him with sand, but be got up, brushed
off the dirt, made some slight remark, and went
ahead.”

The J ankkks off Poet Royal—The Coming in
of the Slaves to Them.—The New York Journal
of Commerce, in speaking of affairs at Port
Royal, says :
The newspapers have published most exagge
! rated accounts of the coming in of slaves at Port
Royal. From several geutlemen, who have re
cently returned from that port, we learn facts
which are to be relied on as true. The negroes
have come to the fort to sell provisions, poultry,
Ac., and their supplies havo been bought
Others havo come from curiosity, and loitered
; around awhile, going away again when they
I pleased.
About one hundred and fifty remain in the fort,
having been employed to work, receiving rations
and eight dollars per month. The total number
! that have come in, on any aud every pretext,
does not exceed three hundred and fifty. No in
dioation has been given of any desire to accept
liberty as a permanency. Their attachment to
their masters and the families to which they be
long, does not seem to be diminished, and there
are large numbers, probably thousands of them
in the neighborhood, who have uot come into the
fort at all It is said that a visit to South Caroli
na has already opened the eyes of many gentle
men, of former abolition inclinations,"to some
few facts in slavery.
Vessel Beached on Cumberland and then
Burnt by the Enemy. —The following dispatch
was received in this city last night by the Cuban
telegraph :
Feenandika, Dec. 15th, 1881. —This morning an
unknown vessel was seen making for this bar.—
The blockaders attempted to cut her oft. Finding
no salvation, the vessel beached herself on Cum
berland Island, about six miles north of this bar.
Tue crew took to their boats and are supposed to
have gone safely ashore. The enemy fired some
four or six shots at her while aground. A de
tachment was sent to their aid from this place.—
Have not heard whether the crew got safely
ashore or uot.
Later —The enemy’s launches boarded the ves
sel aud after an uusuocessful attempt to get her
off they fired her and returned to the blockade. —
&3V. Rep. 17 th.
mfoktant, if Truk —A Maryland Regimen
Deserting Lincoln. —We find the following im
portant paragraph in the Lynchburg Virginian of
the 12th lust. :
IVo have received intelligence through an offi
cer attached to Gen. Clark’s staff, who arrived
hero last night by the Orange aud Alexandria
train from Centreville, that an entire Maryland
regiment had deserted Lincoln’s army ; bringing
with them their arms and equipments. Our iu
lormaut says he saw them at Centreville before
he left there yesterday.
Since writing the above, we have received in
formation from a reliable source corroborating
the above. The particulars of the desertion were
these : The regiment were sent out on picket
from Alexandria, and when they reached the
front of our lines they hoisted the Confederate
flag and marched into Centreville. They were
accompanied by their Colonel aud the officer* of
the regiment.
Coxsolipation of Coxpaxibs.— The Washing
ton correspondent of the New York Herald,
says t
It is the intention of Gen. McClellan to consoli
date the different companies of each regiment of
the regular army.
The exigencies of the service hitherto have
made it necessary to scatter this force, so that
there is hardly anywhere a whole regiment of the
old army together. To effect this consolidation,
a number ot companies of infantry are to be sent
to Pickens, where tbe rest of the regiments are
stationed, and other companies are to be brought
from Fort Pickens here to fill up tbe regiments to
which they belong. Thus, in a little while, each
of tbe regimeuts will be ail together, for tbe first
time since the Mexican war, and in some in
stances for the first time since they were organ
ised.

THE NORTH ASD SOI TH.
Sir : —A letter of your American correspon
dent, from New England, in the Times, of Octo
ber 30, concludes wild an extract irom a speech
of Mr. JohnsoD, a Senator from Tennessee, which
contains so much misrepresentation as to the
state of feeling and condition of the people in the
Southern States, that I am induced to ask you to
insert a refutation of misstatements which, from
late personal experience, lam able to afford. I
will not follow Mr. Johnson through his details
of the cold-blooded shooting of a woman further
than to say that 1 totally disbelieve the occur
rence; but I will inform "him, should he peruse
these lilies, that he will, if he enquires, hear well
authenticated stories of violence and brutalities
on the part of soldiers .n the Federal furces—to
Southern resident ladies iu Maryland—far sur
passing the one he ua: rates. Atrocities may oc
casionally he committed in the sad state of things
now existing on the other side of the Atlantic,
but it is as unfair .o brand the Southern came
with the terms of “coercion, outrage, insult, blas
phemy and crime,” as it would bo to stigmatize
tne Northern cause with similar epithets ou ac
count ot a case of dreadful violation, which I
know was committed by some men of the so-called
Excelsior Brigade.
What I more particularly wish to disabuse
your readers 01, who hare read Mr. Johnson’s
speech, is the statement that the whole secession
ist career has been one of coercion, and that they
never got anything except by coercion. He says:
“They" coerceed Tennesree, Georgia, Alabama
and Virginia out of the Union. They attempted
it in Maryland, and the Governor stopped it.”—
New, this is notoriously incorrect. These States
all passed Ordinances of Secession ; and, as to
Maryland, does nut Mr. Johnson know that noth
ing hut Fort McHenry’s guns keep Baltimore
quiet, and no thing but the large Federal force in
Maryland, and the absence ot arms, prevent a
unanimous rising ?
Again, he says ; “They (the Confederates) are
attempting coercion in Kentucky, but the Gov
ernment have- prevented them.” This is as in -
cDirect as the rest; the Confederates moved into
Kentucky in seif-defence. Ai.y one looking at
the map will see that the 8 th could not aliow
the North to occupy Kentucky, as they meant
gr .ully to a.- mplieb, w ithout exposing their
wbcie frontier i attack. But what are the facts?
Why, ijre.n. B. tncc-r, the Confederate genci-l,
publicly proclaimed that 1..,- would withdraw the
Confederate troops simultaneously w ith ti.e with
drawal of the Federal army, proclaiming also
that eve;/ inhabitant, w hatever were bis opin
ions. should be protected, which, having been in
Kentucky at the time. I can vouch lor as having
been strictly observed.
Now, a few words on coercion generally in the
Confederate cause. From ample experience I
completely deny it. I was iu ail the States Mr.
Johnson mentions, and, so far from there being
coercion, I can bear my testimony that there
never was a more united people, nor a more fixed
determination in any people to achieve their in
dependence. A gentleman of Louisiana said to
me: “The Northerners do not know what they
have undertaken ;to succeed, it must boa war of
extermination, not only of every man, but of
every woman aud child.” To judge of the unani
mity of the feeling in the States Mr. Johnson al
ludes to, it is only needed to pass through them.
Secession flags flying from every house, women
and children cheering aud waving flags to the
trains passing filled with soldiers, and from every
part sending clothes and supplies to their rela
tions and friends in the army. I traveled with
one gentleman who had charge of one hundred
boxes for one regiment from Alabama, aud I
know myself that all the railway and pots were eu
cumbered with similar contributions, and these
not so much luxuries, but real home-made neces
saries, such as knitted goods, home-spun clothes;
in which patriotic work most of the Southern
women are now occupied
I cannot give a better proof of the absence of
coercion, and a most forcible instance of the con
fidence of the people in the Government, than the
fact that the Confederate notes are taken at par
throughout the whole confederacy. Let Mr. John
son contrast this with the fact of the Washington
Bank having refused the Northern treasury notes,
and the report that on this account they are to be
suspended as a disloyai establishment.
While in the Northern Status the Government
have suspended the habeas corpus, a suppressed
trial by jury, interfered with the liberty of the
press, and imprisoned • ;curively both men and
women for political offi-aes even on suspicion,
the South'--ru Governmerr have maintained both
the habeas corpus and trial by jury. In no case
has there been suspension of a paper or imprison
ment for political opposition ; and though confis
cation of Northern property has been adopted ju
the South, it has Only been in retaliation of the
course first widely adopted by the Federal Gov
ernment. These are facts—let any one read
them uud say whether Mr. Johnson is justified in
his assertion as to the coercion of the Confeder
ates, or iu his statement that secession is robbery,
rajiine and murder.
For myself, X cau fully sympathize with the
feelings of a Northerner, who sees with regret
the division of this great federation ; but, at the
same time, I cannot but admire the judgment,
courage uud determintion that the Southern
States have shown in the present lamentable
struggle. It. is impossible to travel iu their States
without recognizing the admirable law aiid gov
ernment that they have maintained since their
separation, or to entirely withhold sympathy from
a people who, cut off, or nearly so, from all for
eign resources, with naught but their own ener
gies and will, have hitherto successfully main -
tained a defence of tho independence they are
determined to achieve.
With these feelings, I deeply deplore the con
tinuance of the contest, so pregnant with disaster
to the combatants, so fruitful of loss ami misfor
tune to the world entire. It. is unfortunately now
continued by the North under an erroneous idea
that there is a strong Union feeling slill existing
in the Southern! States. Alas I the w ish with
them Is fattier to tho thought, which bus other
wise no basis. Jt only needs to go there to find
out that Union feeling has ceased to exist, and
has been replaced by a bitterness of hatred that I
could not have credited had I not personally be
come convinced of it.
There is another equally fallacious aid that the
North have counted on—namely, disaffection, uot
to say worse, among the slave population—the
facts being, on the contrary, that they never were
iu a more peaceful condition. Instead of an ele
ment of weakness in the Southern cause, it is
proved to be one of slrengtb, as the whole tidings
and culture of the country go on uuiuteriupted
by the drain of the whole population to the
scene of war. In the South their limit is, not as
to men in the army, but in number of arms to
equip them; while m tho Northern States they al
ready talk of having to tesort to drafting or con
scription, and have at jireseut their pay lor pri
vates up at sl4, or £2 Ids. a motuh, with SlCu, or
£2O bounty, and the promise of one hundred aud
fifty acres of laud at the end o! the war. So
much for “patriotism” aud “the Norib rising
as one man for the Union.” Take also finance.
Mr. Chase’s popular loan has only obtained $40,-
000,000, while tlie Southern pluuteis have jilaced
their whoie crops, if needful, at the disposal of
the Government, and will, I feel sure, burn every
bale rather than dispose of their cotton to tne
Northerners.
There is much more I could write ou ail these
points, but I must not eucroaoh too much ou your
space. I will only, ou the question of the Cotton
supply, express my satisfaction iu the perusal of
the letter of youi correspondent, “C. S. A.,” Lou
don, also in the Times of the 3uib, which so ably
and tiuly controverts the error that the Southern
Government entertain any i Ua of endeavoring to
coerce Europe into recognition of their indepen
dence by iuyin* au embargo of Cotton. One of
the most, leading men of their Government ex
pressed tome his surprise that such a statement
should have been credited in England. One of
the main causes of secession has been the deter
mination-of the South to adopt the principles of
free trade; and one of the greatest inducements
to the North to prolong this contest is the desire
again to enchain them with a protective, of not
prohibitive, tariff. The South are longing for the
day when they may freely exchange* their raw
materials for the manufactures of England and
France, uneuhanced by the dues of the Northern
poits. As one of their Government said to me ■
"We shall look to Euglaud to be oar workshop
aud our carriers; it is not our lutercst to be eith
er a manufacturing or a naval power. We, there
fore, are surprised, in thes - days of indepeudeu; e
of nationalities, that you do not give us encour
agement to accomplish ours, by which you will
so largely profit.”
Since i commenced this let', r I have read Mr.
Fay’s letter in you: journal of Friday, which I
need not dwell upon, as it is so admirably answer
ed in your utter of the same date. I will only
say that. I am not surprised to read Mr. Fay’s ap
peal to the anti slavery feeling iu ihis couutry. It
is not the hist instance of the insincerity that
endeavors to represent this as an emancipation
war, when those very disclaimers know that the
Federal Government would give fresh guarantees
ou slavery if the South would return to the I. uion.
How will Mr. Fay explain Mr. Lincoln’s cancel
ling General Fremont's emancipation proclama
tion, and the general condemnation that Massa
chusetts afforded to Mr. C. Sumner’s abolition
speech oi last month I This much, however, I
will add as to slavery. I believe it has been the
il-judged movements of the small abolition party
in the North that has partly contributed to pro
duce this severance, and has also delayed amelio
rations iu the slave condition, which would have
been before this introduced iu the Southern
States but for unwise Northern interference.
Os this your readers may be convinced ’that
Lord Russell's definition of tae contest is the cor
rect one, tbe North are fighting for empire ; but
in that empire ee included the government of the
minority by numbers, ergo tfie coercion of the
Southern States to the interested commercial
policy. Tbe South are fighting for independence,
but in that independence is the wish to lree them
selves from the tyranny of Republicanism, the de
sire to conservat'se their institutions, and to es
tablish a system of free Trade with Europe, as the
cne most fitted to the requirements of their coun
try and the enlightened views of the day.
When I saw Gen. Beauregard at Manassas,
while staying with Gen. Johnston, who, by the
bye, I may her* say now commands the Confed
erate army, Gen. Beauregard and Gen. Smith,
commanding each a corps under him,) General
Beauregard expressed his satisfaction that I
should not have returned to England without see
mg something of the South, and further, his re- j
gret that more Englishmen did not come to judge
lor themselves. !
“W e wish, ’ be said, "we lived in a glass bouse, i
as to our feelings and motives, that Europe might 1
see and judge us; and we would wish that tbe
North sent a commission to enquire into our !
unanimity, deteiinitiation aud gtneral slut?. W e
would give them every facility on condition that
they told the truth ou their return. I w'ieh y ® n ‘
Be iurerard’s desire could he accomplished, loi 1
feel that this might lead to the North being con
vinced of the hopelessness of ihe.contest that taey
arc waging—they might buve u paper given them
euding thus “The advice we offer is only what
the Americans have given to ail the world it is
a shank of the their own Cotton —a pipe of their
own tobacco.”
Let them consider what they can do, and what
neither they and the woild can do. At jwesent
they aie giving a triumph to many a toe, for
there is not a circle of abolitionist ststesmen and
diplomatists who do uot read the stories of their
difficulties and reverses with a bitter smile. They
will bear with at least respect, perhaps with dis
appointment, that the North and bouth have
agreed to part friends. Would that this much
wished for solution could be brought about, it
13 in no hostility to the North that 1 write. lam
convinced, as the sun shines, that it is ’he only
possible ending. How m ch better to arrive at
it, if it is inevitable—as all impartial judges know
it is—without ttie further inflictions ot this sad
and gigantic contest.

Tlie Louisville Journal on Cameron’s
Iteporl.
The following is the leading article in the Lou
isville lournal of the 6th tost. It confesses to
the atrocious policy of the Liucolu Government,
which it basely calls on its countrymen to sup
port :
Wo this morning publish the official report of
Secretary Cameron. As respects the question of
slavery, the report confirms our worst apprehen
sions. And the most grievous fact of all is that
the report ou this beau can be regarded only ss
expansion of what ibe President says in the same
relation. The rcj>ort of tho Secretary is us course
sanctioned by the President. What 13 said by
one is the illumination of what is said of the other.
The ,Secretary iu this respect is no worse than
the President; and the President is no better
than the Secretary. The country has little tu
•hone lioui cither, except in the disposition that
We trust both have to heed the counsels of the
CGUiiti.v’s owu better judgment and better nature
But these counsels must be heard unmistakably
to be heeded. When so heard wo believe they
will be be bed. We now, however, dismiss he
secret..y, and shall hereafter deal with the prin
cipal in ti.o case.
The conviction we expieseed m our columns
yesterday, and the course ot action we then pro
posed gather additional stieugtb irorn the de
velopments of every hour. The radicals iu Con
gress appear to have things their own asay. The
character of the propositions they introduce and
the favor the wildest of their propositions re
ceive are positively frightful. Congress has opeu
ed w ith a fanatical howl, and seems ready with
out, a pause to leap into the furthest depths of
radicalism. The winds of sectiiial passion are
unchained. The tempest is abroad.
Tho billows of aati-slaveryism are running
mountain high at Washington. Their tierce roar
i is stunning the ear of the nation. The lashed and
raging sea of fanaticism is thundering against the
barrier of the Constitution, an threatens lo
sweep them utterly away. Behind these barriers
stands the President alone; and be, instead of re
buking the storming waves, throws over them the
witching moonlight of his countenance. He bends
before the storm. It is not manifest, that, it the
President is not promptly and resolutely support
ed bv the conservative sentiment of the nation ;
by that beneficent aud mighty genius whese real
spelt has yet, we fear, been felt only piartially at
Washington, there is the most serious danger
that the uproarous sea of anti slaverylsm wi t
presently hurst through all constitutional harriers
and carry away him and them alike upon its
rushing waves? Nothing appears more mani
fest lo us. It appears too plain for rational dis
pute.
Let, tlier, the conservative sentiment of the
nation come up promptly and resolutely to the
support of tho President. Let the great genius
of conservatism shake off his slumbers, and at
once lay Ins spell truly and deeply otj the officer
charged above a ! l others .with the conservation of
this glorious ark of human hope. We repeat
what wo said yesterday with the added emphasis
of strengthened conviction.
Movements of Gfv. McCulloch—f» is wel
known among those Who are posted in-regard to
war matters in Missouri, that Gens. Pries mid
McCulloch have not been acting very harmoni
ously in the prosecution of thoir plans since the
battle ol Oak Hills. V.'ith a consciousness of this
fact, wo published a rumor in our last issue that
McCulloch bad refused to obey Price’s orders to
co-operate with him in his late expedition North
ward, preferring to return to Arkansas and go
into winter quarters. Upon the strength of this,
we venture to inquire why ho had gone' to Little
Rock, where he was a lew days since, en route
for Richmond, and why he had withdrawn his
sprees from Missouri. The following from the
Avalanche, of yesterday, which wc trust may be
true, servos to throw some light on the subject:
We conversed yesterday with a gentleman for
merly attached to Churchill's Arkansas rigiment,
and wbo was in the battle at flak Hill. He in
forms ua that great injustice has been done Gi-n.
McCulloch in certain partial statements which
have been made in the public press. Ho says
that. (fen. McCulloch’s difficulties commenced
with interference of the commander of the State
forces of Arkansas, who persuaded the Stale
troops to disband, and that the day after the Oak
l Hill affair, every regiment aud company in the
Arkansas service had started home. He says
tbat Gen. McCulloch, being left with a force num
bering at times less than 1000 men, called for
more troops. aDd that Texas, Louisiana and Ar
kansas failed to furnish them; and that ne was
even without the means of arming the few compa
nies which came to his assistance.
Nevertheless, McCulloch snuffed w ith Ins fere*
to Kansas—bat on *■ will, Price. , t
was agreed that he should come back to Benton
county, Arkansas, to protect Confederate sto.c-s
at Fayetteville, and to approach Springfield, while
Price should move from Cassvjila to tho same
destination. This was Gen. McCullbch’s first re
treat.. Ou a consultation held about the Ist of
November, it was agreed that McCulloch should
fall back to Beutonville, arid Price go to Cassville
for winter quarters. There, according to our in
formation, they remained till Fremont retreated
toward St. Louis, when Gen. Price commenced
moving toward the Missouri river. According to
our informant, it was not Price’s intention to go
toward St. Louis when ho left McCulloch, though
it is probable, from hia having issued a proclama
tion for 50,000 men, that he has since changed
his Blind, aud resolved to go forward.— Memphis

U. S. SrKAMkU San Jacinto, i
At Sea, November, 10. i
Sm —ln my dispatch by Commander Taylor. 1
confined myself to the reports of the movement
of this shift, and the fact# connected with the cap
ture of Messrs. Ma on, Slidell, Eustis and Mac
tat land, as I intended to write you particularly
relative to the reasons which induced my action
itt making these prisoners.
When 1 heard at Cienfuegos, on the South side
of Cuba, of these Commissioners having landed
on the Island of Cuba, and that they were at lfa
vans, and would depart in the English steamer of
the 7th ot November, I determined to intercept
them, and carelully examined a;i the authorities
on international law to which I bad access, viz :
Kent, Vi he a*, mi, Yatel, beside# vs rious decisions
■l Sir Vi illiam Scott, and other Judges of the Ad
miralty Court o! (treat Briiain, which bore upon
the rights of neutrals and their responsibilities.
The Governments of Great Britain, France and
Spain have issued a proclamation that the Confe
derate States were viewed, considered and treated
as belligerents, and kuowing that the ports of
Great Britain, France, Spain and Holland, in the
W esl Indies, were open to their vessels, and that
they were admitted to ail the courtesies and pro
tection vessels of the United States receive, every
a>d and attention being given them, proved clear
ly that they acted upon ibis view uud decision,
and brought them within the international law of
search and under the respousibiliiies. I therefore
felt no hesitation in boarding and searching ull
vessels ot whatever nation I fell in with, and have
done so.
The nutation arose in my mind whether I bad
tae light to capture the persons ol these Commis
sioner# —whether they were amendable to capture.
There was no doubt i had the right to cantuie
rt.iscls with written despatches—they are ex
pressly referred to in all authorities, subjecting
i ic vessel to seizure and condemnation if the
> lp’aiu ol the vessel had tac knowledge of their
b.ijg onboard. But these gentlemui were not
dispatches iu tho literal sense, and did not seem
to come under that designation, and nowhere
could I hud a ease in point.
That they wee Commissioners, I had ample
pi of from their own avowal, and bent on mis
chiev.ms and traitorous errands against our coun
try—to overthrow its institutions and euter iuto
treal.es and alliance with foreign States, express
ly l'orbiddeu tu the Constitution.
They had been presented to the Captain Gen
eral o! Cuba by H. L>. M. Congo -General, but the
Captain-General told me he had not received
them in (hat capacity, but as distinguished gen
tlemen and strangers.
1 then considered them as the embodiment of
despatches, and as they had openly declared
themselves as charged with ull authority from the
Confederate Government to form treaties aud al
liance tending to the establishment of their inde
pendence, I became s .tisfled that their mission
was adverse aud criminal to the Union, and it,
therefore, Leeunie nay duty to attest their progress
and capture them, if they had no passports or pa
per# from the Federal Government, as provided
for under the law of nations, viz r “ That foreign
ministers ot a belligerent on hoard of neutral
ships are required to possess papers from the
oilier belligerent to permit them to pass free.”
Report and- assumption gave them the title ot
Ministers to France and England, but inasmuch
as they bad not been received by either of these
powers, I did not conceive they had immunity at
tached to their persons, aud were but escaped con
spirators, plotting and contriving to overthrow
the Government of the United States, and they
were, therefore, not to be considered as having
ally claim to the immunities attached to the char
actor they thought tit to assume.
As respects the steamer m which they embark
ed, 1 ascertained in Havana that she was a
merchant vessel plying between Vera Cruz, the
Havana and St. Thomas, -carrying the mail by
contract.
The agent of the vessel, the son of the British
Consul at Havana, was well aware of the charac
ter of these persons, that they engaged their pas
sage end did embark in the vessel; liis father
had visited them, and introduced them as Minis
ters of the Confederate .States, on their way to
England and France.
T hey went in the steamer with the knowldge
and consent of the captain, who endeavored after
wards to conceal them by refusing to exhibit the
passenger list and the papers of the vessel. There
can'be no doubt he knew they were carrying
highly important despatches, and were eudowed
with instructions inimical to the United States.
This rendered his vessel (a neutral) a good prize;
and l determined to take possession of her, and,
as I mentioned in my report, send her to Key
West for adjudication, where, 1 am well satisfied,
she would have been condemned for- carrying
these persons, and Tor resisting to be searched’
the cargo was also liable, as all the shipper', were
known to the embarkation of these live despatch
es, and their traitorous motives and actions to the
Union of the United States.
1 forbore to seize her, however, in consequence
of my being so reduced in officers and crew, and
the derangement it would cause innocent persons,
there being a large number ol passengers, who
would have been put lo a great loss aud inconve
nience, as well as disappointment, from the inter
ruption it would have caused them in not being
able to join the steamer from Bt. Thomas for Eu
rope. 1 Therefore, concluded to sacrifice the in
terests of my officers aud crew in the prize, aud
suffered the steamer to proceed after the necessa
ry detention to elfect the transfer of these Com
missioners, considering 1 had obtained the im
portant end I had in view, and which affected the
interests of our country, and interrupted the, ac
tiou of that ol the Confederates.
I would add that the conduct of her British Ma
jesty’s subjects, both official and others, showed
but little-regard or obedience to her proclamation,
bv aidincuwxi obota.g the views and endeavor
ing to conceal the persona of the Commissioners.
I have pointed out sufficient reasons to show
you that ray action in this case was derived from
a firm conviction that it became my duty to make
these parties prisoners, and to bring them to the
United States.
Although, iu my giving up this valuable prize, 1
have deprived the officers and crew of tae well •
carried reward, I am assured they are quite con
tent to forego any advantages which might have
accrued them under the circumstances.
I may add that, havlug assumed the responsi
bility, 1 am willing to abide the result,
I aui, very respectfully,
J our obedient servant,

Liz.colnism Declining in Kentucky. —Recently
Mr. Cameron, Lincoln’s Secretary of War, made
a speech in which he enunciated the doctrine that
the slave property of the South ought to be for
feited to'the government, and the slaves so for
eited should be armed and used in crushing the
rebellion. Referring to this speech the Louisvillo
Democrat. used this language t
It is reparted and believed ail over the count 1
that he had countenanced and approved the arm
ing of negroes, and the lilack Republican and
Democratic papars have been discussing it for
the last two weeks. We have expressed as strong
ly as we can our utter condemnation of the
scheme. - It has uofc.eyen the excuse of aiding in
quashing the rebellion; but is, in fact, more hostile
to the Uuion than a million Je£f..Davisea in arms,
uud equipped from top to toe. It is savage and
butcherly, and, like all savagery, the instinctive
outbreak of cowardice.
II Mr. Cameron can relieve himself of the bus
picion, well uud good ; but he ought not to bold
the position in the government which he does
when he is suspected of it. It changes the whole
aspect of the ooLtest—from a relief of the oppress
ed people ot the South to a war of conquest, sub
jugation and assassination. Mr. Secretary Smith
did right iu so promptly reproving and eondemn
ng it on the part of the administration, and we
foretell prompt action by tbe President.
The loyel men of Kentucky, those who have
the interest oft.be Union at heart, should use
every effort to prevent any such Intai action 03
the part of the government as the Cameronian
idea.
We speak it plainly, tbe scheme for genera!
emancipation, or arming the blacks, will lose
every slave State in the Union. It would take a
standing army of two hundred thousand men to
retain Kentucky in the Union, and then the sol
diers would he compelled to uM in exterminating
the blaek race. If they ara emancipated, there
is but one thing to be done with them : they must
be wiped out—utterly obliterated. It musi he a
merciless, savage extermination ol tbe whole
tribe. There will be no question of humanity, or
justice, or mercy. Ii will be nature's tirst law
self defence. The two races, as has been arnpiv
shown by the whole history of the world,
from the days of the Egyptian to our own
limes, cannot exist in the same couutry, un
less the black race is in slavery, it is no question
for theory, argument or discussion. It is the
direct law of final and conclusive Tbe Pres
ident, himself a Kentuckian, knows and appreci
ates tbe condition of affairs, and will act for the
best, and it ought to be the duty of tbe State Leg
isiature to aid him by expressions of condemna
tion of tbe Cameron policy.

“ Very scandalous’repoits are rife concerning
COl. Scott, nephew aDd secretary of the old Gen

who has done so much mischief by revealing
Cabinet secrets and tbe plans of the Commander
in-Ch’ef to the enemy. Tbe failure of the scheme
agaiust the rebel camp at Munson’s Hill, which
was known only to Gen. Scott, Gen. McClellan
and Col. Scott,' is attributed to the latter. It is
intimated that tbe suspicions against Col. Scott
were so strong that his friends advised him to
quit the country, and that this had something to
do with the sudden resignation of Gen. Scott and
his departure with his nephew and others for

At a lime when the price of tin.-, neccasaiy
Bttide aud the question ot future supply me
attracting so tuoco attention, some remarks'upon
the sources aud momitacluie of salt may be ot
interest. J
Balt is obtaiued from salt mines, salt springs
inland lakes and the cc.an The salt, from mines
is, however, very impure and requires to be dis
solved in. water, and alter the deposition of the
impurities, recovered by evaporation. Salt
springs arc- supposed to ot igiuate from streams of
water passing through saline strata. By far sue
most important source of salt is the ocean. The
cause ot the saltness ol the ocean has beau con
siderably discussed, but the most probable ex
planation is, that the streams (lowing from the
laud bear with them every variety ot soluble mat
ter, which being incapable of return, is rendered
sensible by the constant process of evaporation,
aud that salt, p operly so called, being the most
abundant ol these products, gives its character to
the mixture. This %xplauation is rendered pro
bable bv the fact that lakes having no outlet are
always saline, aud a# evaporation, owing to the
shallowness, is more rapid there than iu the sen,
the brine is generally stronger than thattif the
ocean.
A saturated solution of fait contains at ordina
ry temperatures, about 77 per cent, of salt; tew,
if an v, salt springs or lakes are nearly so strong
as this. Some of the wells at Onondaga, N. Y ,
yield as b gh as one bushel (of 70 lbs.) of salt to
40 gallons of water, while at requires SSO gallons
of sea water at Nantucket to produce the same
amount. The strength of sen water varies at Git -
ferent points’ owing to the effect of currents, and
the influx of fresh water from the land, and the
process of evaporation constantly going on. In
tho tropical regions of course the’water is strong
er than it is iu high latitudes, and in mid ocean
stronger than it is near shore The specific grav
ity of sea water is generally stated at I A3O. but
that of water take i from the Fast River at New
York in a very high tide was only l.offOO. Os
this 1000 grains contained '_'i 8 graiii.-s of dry saline
matter, of which z 0.3 grain:, was cloloride ol so
dium, ot common salt. In this ratio, it would re
quiro about B*2B/*' gallons of water to produce a
bushel of 3alt It tho whole could be. separated. It
is brobable that upon our coast, allowing for
waste, uo larger product than three bushels to
1000 gullous ot v : ter could be calculated on
Thera are two methods ot producing sail from
brine, one bv boiling, the other by spontaneous
evaporation. That produced by the latter process
is alone fit for curing m rus, uud no meats cured
with boiled salt are purchased for navy or army
use by the great powers ot the world In Eng
land, whence our ordinary supply of salt is oh
tuiued, their own article, produced by boiling, is
not used for domestic purpose,a. The reason of
the difference is that the different saline sub
stances hold iu solution by the brine are all ob
tuined together when boiling is resortad to, but
by spontaneous evaporation the least so.uble of
these are first deposited, and the brine being then
conveyed toother reservoirs the salt is obtained
leaving the most soluble salts still dissolved iu the
residual liquid, to which, from its taste, the name
of “bittern” is given. Much of this matter still
remains with the suit when the process is care
lessly conducted, and this gives to some salts —as
those of Bpain and Portugal—a disagreeable
sharpness aud acridity, which they only lose by
draining and drying for a year or more, and not
entirely even then.
At Key West, by the construction ol a series of
embankments, the water, admitted from the sea,
is caused to flow by a circuitous course through a
chain of lagoons, for a distauco of fifteen miles,
after which it is pumped up by windmills into
shallow reservoirs, varying in size from 60 feet
square to au aero or more. It is well known to
all observe!s that liquids of different densities do
not mix rapidly, and the column of water which
flows through this seri is of lagoons pushes for
ward, so lo spunk, the water before it, which
gradually becomes atronger as evaporation pro
gresses, besides which it i# found that this moder
ate motion accelerates the evaporation. The
same circulating process is continued through the
series of reservoirs, until the brine, besides de
positing au immense mass of impurities, becomes
conceuirated to tho point of saturation, ufter
which it is pumped up into covered wooden pans,
there to crystallize. This process is necessarily
slow, never occupying less than six weeks, and
from that to sixty days or more.
Different methods are used in dillerent places
to accelerate the process of evaporation, hutjall
substantially the same in principle, that principle
being by minute subdivision to increase the ex
posed surface. In some places the water is thrown
into the air Rom an engine worked by the same
windmill which does the pumping, and falls upon
high piles ot brush ; in others it is made to now
down (he surface ot rocks, or to percolate from
elevated tanks through a kind ot wall or hedge
of faggots Frobab’y the best of these methods
is that used in Germany, which ia thus described
by Mr. Dennis, of Key West
“After the saturated brine is heated, it is pump
ed into small tanks, which are arranged around
the top o r a frame from 20 to 30 feet high and of
suitable size, on the ground, from which ropes
are suspended perpendicularly, about ti inches
apart. On theso the brine from the tanks is caus
ed to flow in small streams, whore it rapidly crys
tallizes. In twenty- four hours, the ropes become
so loaded with salt that it leqnires to be knocked
off. One would think this a wasteful process!; but
Dr. I re says : that, with care, it is not so, and
my own experience confirms this statement, lie
further says that as much can lie effected by this
plan in 24 horns as by the other in three days.—
And this procers of crystallizing must turn out a
purer article than even bv the slow, careful man
tier of effecting this in '.lie pans, for the reason
that all impurities of other salts are immediately
drained off from tho ropes when rejected by The
forming crystals of salt aud have no chance to
adhere to the surface, nor to fill a usual inter
stice, as is likely to be the rase m other plans of
crystallization.”
it would seem that by snch a process as this
every lamil.v living a..ri««ment lo Mtvltwater might
easily manufacture their own salt with little ap
paratus, and almost without expense. All (hat is
needed would lie a barrel with a perforated bot
tom through which the ropes might hang, and a
tub beneath. The bottom of the barrel should
be packed with some substance—a layer of sand,
with a cloth beneath it, would be sufficient—to
prevent the brine passing through 100 rapidly.
The brine, by being repeatedly passed through
this apparatus, would soon evaporate , or, if one
chase to conduct the process on a more extensive

It might also be concentrated at no cost but that

thus,- should make about half a peck of salt—

The London News says the American Govern
ment is tiying to fasten a quarrel on England in
order to obtain a standing ground for abandoning
its own design of subjugation itself. The London
Shipping Gazette says tiuittho American Govern

madness. The English journals, generally, are
very bitter against tbe United States. The'Ger

From the Norfolk Day Book of the P>tb, we
take the following
DESPATCHES EIt0VI" THE COMMANDER „F IBr IR„
qoois.
The Navy Department has received despatches
form Capt Palmer, commanding the steamer 110-
quois, in which he minutely 1 elates his movements
in order to capture the pirate Sumter.
Tbe government at Muiiißiqne, he says, refused
to give the Sumter coal, but allowed her to come
to St. Pierre, where she obtained » supply from
English merchants. The Sumter had been re
ceived with courteey at the seat ol government,
aud Captain Palmer discovered, to use bis owl
language, that "this farce of non-recognition of
the Confederate flag by France and England, is
played out.” He had a correspondence with the
Governor, the result of wbiob was he referred to
a paragraph of Wheaton’s Internatsonal. Law, to
the effect that one belligerent could not depart
from port until twenty four hours aider another
had left. Tbe Sumter was at that time in port,
and the Iroquois obliged to anchor one marine
league from shore.
The majority of the citizens of Port Royal were
in favor of tbe Sumter, and therefore anxious for
her escape. Being French, they sympathize with
Louisiana, to which State’ they thought the Sum
ter belonged. Throughout bis proceedings Capt
Palmer was apprehensive aud fearful the Bumtei
would escape him, and wished she were anywhere
elan than under tbe French protection/as the.
authorities were thi owing every obstacle iu his
way. *
the Governor, however, repudiated everything
like unfriendliness iu reply to Captain Palmer’s
complaint. Owing to the distance from shoie
which the Iroquois was obliged to occupy, and
tbe fact that tbe bay is fifteen miles wide, and
for the reasons above stated, the Huuiter sue
ceeded in escaping. Jfie Iroquois followed her,
but found no vessel visible on the back ground of
the sky.
TEE COMHAXDEB Os THE IROQUOIS TO BE HELD RE
SPONSIBLE FOR THE ESCAPE OF THESI'MTF.R
It is understood here that the Captain of the
United States gunbeat Iroquois will be brought
to rigid account for not capturing the privateer
Sumter at Martinique. Hie extraordinary r-gard
for Captain Semmes, of the Sumter, because' the
iatter was his schoolmate, and had once been his
superior officer, is looked upon as a display oi
isfltctiou and respect of such exalted and unusual
eh a: acter as to require investigation.
THE NEWS l-HOM ELROI’K.
Washington, Monday, Dec. lti.—The latest
news fioui England lias occasioned uo marked ex
citement among public men, the indignation of
the British Press having been anticipated. Hone*
the absence of expressions of surprise. As pen
cling disputes Letweeu the United States aud
Gi eat Britain heretofore, the augry public voice
has subsided, to await the result of diplomatic
l: ltnuiifiee, so will it be aguiu. The particular
claim of the British Government, growiug out of
the removal of Messrs. Mason aud Slidell from
the Trent, haviug yet to be presented, tbe argu
ments in its support must become a quesliou ot
controversy, ,nd it ia not unreasonable to as
sume that our own Government will have at least
! equal advantage and skill m the discussion. When
| the British Government shall have maiio a for
mal demand for the restitution of the rebel Mill
j inters, the time will have arrived for such ie
sponse as will show that, although we are engaged
with the insurgents, there is still integrity ia the
Government to furnish such a reply as will not
he at variance with our heretofore amply sus
tained chaiacter of Nstional independence. The
Diplomatic Corps seemed to be more concerned
m the important qnestion at issue than out ow n
civil functionaries.
Questions are generality asked, what will he the
result of the controversy, rather than the expres
son of individual opinion upon the 'sublecl. As
to the Administration, there is reason to believe
that neither tlio President nor any member of the
Crbinet will be diverted in the least degree from
their present course of conducting the w ar.
The Wall Greet panic is telegraphed here to
day, and excites much amusement in Admiuistra
tiou circles. The falling of stocks in Wall street
on newspaper reports of Cabinet councils ia
London is considered rather 2 matter of specula
tion than of wisdom. It is thought that stocks
will rise to morrow in New York. The Admiuis
lion is understood to be expecting possibly a war
with the Navajocs, but it has not beguu to think
a war possible with either England or France,
NO I LTIM.IT! II FROM ENGLAND.
ilm tumors ota messenger, arriving post
lusty, with dispatches for Lord .Lyons, are false.
No ultimatum from the English Government in
i.g.trd to Slidell and Mason is expeetde at the
beginning of diplomatic correspondence on the
subject.
Plilaoei PBi.i, Monday, Dec. Id.—The money
articles of the Bulletin, of this city, says
“The foreign news caused a feverish amt ex
cited Stock market to day, with a downward ten
d ncy, particularly in ‘iaucies. Reading decli
ning one per cent The better classes of securi
ties sa.ypathize with this downward movement,
but in the absence of transactions, prices are en
tirely nominal. The best bids for State loans are
one per cent, below Saturday's prices. In mone
tary circles there is much distrust, and capitalists
are holding off' until the bluster and excitement
subsides. ’
Detroit, Mich , Monday, Dee. IS.- -The Euro
pean news creates a deep feeling, and the proba
Liltlies of a war with England are freely discuss
ed. There is a general desire tor out Government
to place itself right as regards tbe law, when it
will be sustained at every sacrifice
Cleveland, Ohio, Monday, Dec. Di.—The news
from England has produced a decided sensation
iu this section. 1 lie general sentiineui is that
our Government must maintain its rights and
dignity, regardless of English bluster.
Baltimore, Monday, Dec. Iff—Tbe effect ot ttie
English news in Baltimore has been to call forth
a warm Uniou sympathy with the position of the
President, while tho rebels are rejoicing at the
prospect of the aid of England to overthrown the
Union. Nearly alt tiie Irish in Baltimore have
been secessionists, but they are now' rallying for
the Union against England.
Pittsburg, I’a., Monday, Dec. lit.— -The English
news was received here with genera! astonish
meet and profound indignation at the tone of the
English press nn.l (he alleged policy of tho Brit
ish Government. There is only one sentiment
here, that the honor ot our country must bemuin
taiued ai;d no concession made to British bluster.
Cincinnati, Monday, Dec. B 5 English
news produced a profound sensation iu commer
cial and financial circles, and the impression
•seems general that there is danger of a war with
Grent Britain : but while all admit that it Captain
Wilkes did wrong in the Trent affair, dueupology
should lie made, but if right, no humiliating cou
cession ought to be entertained lor a moment to
England os to any other power
The news greatly unsettled the markets and
produced a temporary cessasion of business, so
that there was little done in any department.
Hartford, Monday, Dec. 16. —The European
news caused great excitement in this city for a
ciroe, but tho unanimous feeliug was that En
glaiPs demands for Mason and Slidell could not
be listened to for a moment. The sober second
thought is that our Government should be firm
but conciliatory, but if the alternative is, give up
the Commissioners or tight, then tight.
Buffalo, Monday, Dec. 16.—The English news
leceived here last night caused considerable ex
citement on the street. Tho prevailing opinion
is ti ut vve have nothing to fear from a war with
England. The Express says. “But we speak
from aud tor a point terribly exposed to the hor
rors of war, we earnestly entreat our Government
to sacrifice not one jot of its dignity in this pci iod
of trial. Whatever sacrifice may be thrown upon
us, ull will be home more pationtly than the mor
tification of national disgrace!
Chicago, Monday, Dec. 18. -The news from
England by the Europa created a profound sensa
tion in political circles. It is not credited that
Ifei Majesty’s Government has determined to de
mand the release of the rebel emissaries, Mason
and Hlidcll. It, however, such be the case, the
feeling seems to be that the Government shall be
sustained in its efforts to sustain the uaiioual
honor ami National integrity, lbe Tribune and
Times will suggest the, propriety ot submitting
(he questions of arbitration to some impartial
neutral Power.
Milwaukee, Monday, Dot. In. 1 here seems to
be hut one feeling here as regards the English
news—that i.s, the hope that the Administration,
if right, will maintain the position taken with
firmness, lot the issues b« what they may. No
one is frightened but the wheat buyers.
V ALL ANDIGRAM'B RESOLUTIONS.
The tollmving are the proceedings of the Feder
al Congress on the let itrsl in reference to Valian
digbam'a Resolutions .
Mr. Vullandigham, of Ohio, (Opp.) introduced
the following preamb'e and resolution :
YYTiereas, The Secretary of the Navy lias re
ported to ihia House that' Capt Charles M'ilkea,
in command of tho Han Jacinto, an armed public
vessel of the United States, did on tire 6th of No
veaiber, IS6J, on the high seas, intercept the
Trent, n British mail steamer, and forcibly remove
therefrom JamesM. Mason ard John Slidell, dis
loyal ctlizeoß, leading conspirators, febel enemies
ned dangerous men, who, with their suites, were
on their way to Europe to promote the cause of
insurrection, claiming to be Ambassadors from
the seceded Confederate States , and,
Whereas, The Hecretarv of the Navy lias fur
ther reported to this House that the prompt and
decisive action of Captain Wilkes on this occa
sion, merited and received the emphatic approv
al of the. Department, and, moreover, 10 a public
letter, bus thanked Captain Wilkes for the act;
and.
Whereas, This House, on the first dav of the
session, did purpose to tender the thanks of
Congress to Captain Wilkes for his brave, adroit
and patriotic conduct, in tbe arrest of the traitors
James M. Mason and John Slidell; and,
Whereas, F’urther, on the same day, this House
did request ihe President to contine'tbe said Jas
M. Mason, and John Slideli in the ceils oi convict
id felons until certain military olliceis of the
I uited States, captured aud held by the so called
<’ onlederaleXtutca, should be treated as prisoners
of war, therefore, be it
Resolved, As the sense of this House, it is the
duty of the President to now firmly maintain the
stand thus takeu, approving and adapting the act
of Capt, Wilkes, in spite of any menaces or de
mand of the British Government, and that this
House pledges its full support to him in uphold
ing now the honor and vindicating the courage of
the Government and people of the United Staten
against a foreign Power.
Mr. Valiaudigbam moved (he previous quesrion.
They had heard the first giowl of the Biitiah
Lion. It i entrained to be seen who would cower.
Mr. Fenten, of New York, ( Rep.; hoped that
the resolutions wou’d be referred to Ihe Commit
tee on Foreign Affairs.
Mr. Valiaudigbam remarked that a for mer reso
lution, approbatory of Capt. Wilkes, was passed
without being so referred He 1 Vallandigbarn
oad offered this resolution in good faith, and
would stand by it.
The House then refused to second the demand
for the previous question.*
Mr. teuton again moved that the preamble and
resolution he referred to the Committee on tin
ni,ni All ail s.
The motion was agreed to, by ayes lh,', Days In.
