The Exodus from Erin.
A paragraph is going the rounds of ths press,
concerning the correspondence between Ksrl
Russell and the U. 8. Minister at London, respect
ing the large lewards offered to induce Irish
emigrants to embark for the United .Slates-
Mr. Adams ageutes the Qreea’s Mini: ter that
neither he nor his government,nor any agent of the
vovernment, has paid their premiums to emi
grants, and that the American Consuls have been
spicially instructed to avoid everything of the
kina. And he adds, to deceive Earl Russell and
and at the tame time to advertise for more emi
grants, that the railroad companies and other
industrial enterprises are very deficient in labor,
and that these companies may possibly be paying
these extra piemiums.
This ingenious deception practiced on tbe noble
E«rl is wortby oi Yankee cuoning and mendacity.
Mr. Adams well knew the or gin of these rewards
offered to emigrants. It is a public notor.ous
fact, heralded in the newspapers, repeated every
where in New Lngiund and New York, iu tbe
cities, in the towns, and the country, that sub
scriptions have been taken np to procure volun
teers for the army by offering rewards or boun
ties. \_t. ese are not substitutes, though volunteers
in name only. Under the order for a draft, Gov.
Andrews or Gov. Curtin called on a particular
town for fifty or sixty or eighty soldiers. If they
were not ctlered in a certain time, they were to be
levied by draft. The people to avoid this levy
raised large funds to farm a bounty fjr volun
teers. This bounty is offered to all, and therefore
to English, and Irish, and Bcotcb, and German
emigrants. When five hundred dollars are ottered
at New Haven, for example, an agent in Boston
Binds three hundred dollars to Liverpool, pays
this to tbe emigrant, gives him a tree passage to
Boston, and pockets tbe balance of tbe five ban
dred lor his own patriotic services. When he is
on board tbe Amerii an ship, tbe enlistment is
completed, and the British law prohibiting foreign
enlistments evaded.
Thus, Mr. Adams is innocent, the British Gov
ernment deceived, and we injured. The meroe
uariet are really hired abroad. Every wo;k anew
supply of Hessians is landed at New York.
Northern capital, but not Northern blocd is sper.t
ft r our subjugation. George the Third tried the
same plans as the Northern tyrants. He gather
ed from the German shambles his detestable hire
lings who disgrac.d their name und their country
in an unholy cause. He employed his Indian al
lies to stoure the union between the mother
country and the. colon es. Tbe Government at
Washington has its agents and friends to reernit
its regiments, not only in Germany, but in Ire
land and Englund. It employs the negro allies
like Georgo tbe Third. It burns, ravages, mur
ders sad oppresses with more than savage feroci.
ty. History will, hereafter, brand its conduct of
this war with every infamy that has followed
George the Third, and with every other stain that
oas dyed the garments of barbarous or despotic
tyrants, whether Indian or vandal, Austrian or
Neapolitan, from the earliest annals of our race
down to the bombardment of Palermo or the
grinding oppression of Naples, Yenetia and Hun
gary.
An Apostle of Urotheily Lore.
Not long ago, at a publio meeting in Chester,
Pu , that arch l enegade Forney was congratula
ting Lis Yankee hearers tbui the desolations of
war hud fallen only upon the wicked “rebels.”
Forney had done all he could to bring the war
upon the Sou h. He abandoned the Democratic
parly in its hour of trial, and at once grasped at
tho fattest pickings of the Biack Republican
spoils. As Clerk of the House of Representatives,
no work was too dirty for him to perform. He
fawned upon Abe Lincoln and licked his boots,
and obtained at ht.me the sobriquet ol “Lincoln’s
poodle,” and “Forney, the Dog.” He prostituted
his newspaper at Philadelphia, called “The Press,”
to the purpose of stirring up strife, and of hound
ing on Northern men against the South ; and
when its space could not contain all the anathe
mas and revtlings and tirades that emanated from
his pen, he increased his facilities for invective by
issuing the Washington Chronicle, the meanest
und most unprincipled of all the Abolition press.
His name has long been a synonym of dishonor.
Latterly, he has turned up as an itinerant drum
mer of recruits for the Abolition army and the
Abolition party, and a lecturer before Union
League meetings and other associations for cur
tailing tho liberty of the people. Hero is what
he said before the Chester meeting :
“This evening, passing from Philadelphia, in
order to respond to your invitation, 1 was struck
with the maniiold evidences of your prosperity.
Here, at least, war has not channeled our fair
fields, or bruised our llowrets with the trenching
armed hoofs of hostile paces. Here, all men
set m to realize that we are ut peace among our
selves, or ought to be; and then, as I passed
along, J saw heating from more than one horne
steu.l, and from many a spire, that emblem ot
my country, which, a little more than two years
ago, awiimned the admiration and envy of the
nations of the earth, and the pride and gratula
linn of the masses of our people. Turning from
this pictuie, I reverted to that other scene wnere
war is witnessed and experienced in its whret
aspect; where all the lortunes, all the agonies,
where all the remorses that ecu and tall upon u
guilty people have been coLcmtruted in one terri
ble aggregate. While I ;.r. f .uui'ly enmuusserato
tbe sufferings ot the Southern people, regarding
them still—the masses of them—as my fellow
couuliytneu, I could not help saying to mysell
that if God has not given us alt the victories we
deserve, He has at least beiu giod to usia keep
ing oil the hell-hounds ot slavery from the soil oi
freedcin, and in deciding that the storm of bit tie
shall descend upon the firesides where the rebel
lion begin.”
Secure iu his own position, aloof from the arena
of strife, and fattening upon the blood of bis
oonntrymen and the woes ot the widow and ot
phau, he caucklcs because “ war has not chan
neled our fair fields, or bruised our llowerets
with the trenching armed hoofs of host le
paces.” Ta;s was only a fortnight ago. liow
stands the case now f Does the loul-.tiouthed
coward quake in his boots as be watenes the vic
torious march ot Qen. Lee towards his peaceful
home and his hoards of ill-gotten gains I Has
he no misgivings that the horrors and miseries
which he has helped to entail upon the suffering
people of the South, in .y now speedily he brought
home to his own doors ? that his curses are com
ing home at last to roost ? Oaf it is sweet to
mete out to such creatures as this the measure of
wrong and outrage which he has meted out to
others 1 Dees any citizen of this Confederacy
hesitate to sinke, while the arm of Tengeance is
even now uplifted ever the devoted heads of those
who hay e shrouded our land in gloom, and brought
warlmg to eySry house t Are there any who ad
vecste a mildet policy, or who, fearful of worse
calamities than we have sudered, would forbear
to make reprisals upon the toe ?
There is a class of men at ths North, and a
large class 100, of whom this Foraey is a htting
representative, who haTe need of a taste of jnst
such wholesome punishment as, we feel assured,
is now m store fer them. There is no other cor
rective to administer save fire and sword, tor as

loss and suffer ng, so long willth.-y « amor for
war and for the desolation of Son.berm hemes.
Oa the other hand, we leel convinced that a Utile
retributiTe justice like this will bring them to
terms sooner than any otfceur means that we can
employ. They are arrant cowards as well as
knaves, and are the first to See st the approach
ot danrer. They hurry off their property to
places of safety, and call upon the militia to rush
to arms, but they take no musket themselves,
and buckle on noknapsaek. They ring the alarm
bells at midnight, while yet the enemy is hun
dreds of miles away, and are willing to contribute
large sums of money for local defense, but none
of them take the field. They are willing to see
the needy soldiers perish by thousands, and the
the negroes whom they profess to love so much
slaughtered like cattle in the trenches; but they
themselves are content with making Union

Fruits or vegetables in some shape are abso

the general rule, we can only Fend these forward
succ- ssfully in a dried or presefved slate. And
no good measure of them can be cbtained by tbe
army unless you now prepare these with dili
gence and energy.
To an appeal of this sort, onr people responded
last year with promptness and considerable effi
ciency. I wish that we could teil you how much
of health, and strength, and satisfaction was con
tributed to onr brave men ly tha response, the

cause appeales to you, the same ripening sun,
and similar genial showers are vouchsafed id aid
of your efforts, and a similar invitation is now
made to yon by us.
We confidently hope that the families cf our
State, who by the services end sacrifices of tar
gallant soldiers —tbeir fathers, brothers and sons
—are still in tbe enjoyment < f peaceful, i ui py
and fruitful homes, will energetic illy respond tj
this call, prepare fruits and vegetables ca e

Drying Vegetables and Fruit*.
Editor of Southern Cultivator The import
ance ot providing an abundant suprlycf vege
tables for the troops in the ti.ld and tbe hos
pitals. is so great, that the following sug.es'.ioas
are offered in the hope th.t they may conduce
to that end: , . , ~,
The great destroyer of animal arc! vegetable
substances is the oxygen of the air, aid and oy heat
and moisture. Dry oxygen will not produce de
composition. The procees of heim -ticaliy seal
ing, consists in excluding the air. Tomatoes and
all similar traits may be preserved for any length
of time, by stewing them, removing the sk ; i.saud
introducing the pulp and juice, while boi'iag, in
to bottles or jugs of convenient s zi. Tue ves
sels must be perfectly clean, heated to the boil
ing point before the fruit is introduced, and cork
ed tightly, while steam is issuing from them.—
Common stone jugs or ale bottles answer perfect
ly well. Glass requires care iu heating, or it
will crack. The cork should ba well coated with
sealing-wax, or a mixture of five part of rosin
with one ol bees wcx.
Almost every kind of vegetabl es may be pre
served by the simple process of drying at low
temperature. I’eas and Beans require no prepa
ration. Okra ant tomatoes should be sliced th.n
and dried thoroughly in the sun. Fleshy r, os,
such as beets, carrots, potatoes, Parsnips end
even cabbige, may be preserved in the io.lowing
way :
Wash the roots clean, and grate them on a
coarse grater, such as is used for horse-radish.
Spread the pulp thinlg on trays and dry in the
sun, or in an oven heateA to a temperature not
above 125 to 130 deg. F. A greater heat will in
jure the result. When perfectly drv, the muss
should be compressed into as small asp ee s
possible, and packed in p iper like sot king to
bacco. A coat ot varnish would render the paper
water-proof. Green corn coull probably be kept
in the tame way, though the writer has never
tried it. Vegetables, thus preserved, lose none of
their nutritious properties, and make an excellent
ingredient in soups. Everything depends on the
entire exclusion of moisture. Frequent exposure
to the snn, is very desirable.
In tbe preservation ol all animal and vegetable
substances, it is of prime importance that they
be perfectly fresh. Decay once begun can uardly
be anested.
The want of vegetable food produces a tenden
cy to scurvy, rendering very tr.flmg sores or
wounds liable to result in dangerous ulcers.
Many valuable lives are thus lest which might
otherwise be saved.
Those who have abundance of vegetables, can
not render a better service to the country than
bv thus preparing them for the use of the army.

[The suggestions ol the above article are very
valuable, and wa hope they will ba promotly ac
ted upon throuabout thccoun’ry generally. The
duying of all kinds of Fiuit should, also, receive
speci-J attention; and kilns or drying houses
must be conatruct-d without delay. Tne ordi
nary me’hod of drying on roo's and scatlolds, in
the sun, is so well understood that no i eser ption
is necessary ; but extensive fruit growers wi 1
find it of great advantage to have a regular Fruit
Drying House, for the purposed pr. p-ring large
quantise*. An oblong room, with a brick flue,
lurnace, or iron stove in the centre, and open
slatted drawers or shelves arranged on each side,
will answer ; and the ingenuity of our leaders
will enable each to adopt such a plan as is best
suited to his own requirement i. Reeled fru t al
ways commands a higher pr.ee than unpee-ed ;
and great care shohla be token in packing and
storing away after drying. The remark of Dr.
Easter respecting the thorough drying aud c re
ful packing of vegetables, apsties equally to
fruits. If dried in the sue, tne fruit snould be
taken into the house at 4 or 5 o’clotk P. M., to
prevent the attache of the worm-producing
moth, which is said to lay its eggs la e in the af
ternoon ; unci, when packed,away, a small quanti
ty of China berries or leaves may b. mixed wiih
the fruit to aid still further in keeping out in
sects. It is, also, of groat advantage to expose
the brga of dried fruit occasionally in a suuny
place, and to avoid placing them in acy close or
damp situation. The demand for dried Fruit ia the
army is certain to be large, and tne price highly
remunerative; and both patriotism and intcrebt
should impel onr people—especially the ladies —
to enter upon the goad work earnestly and ex
tensively.—Editor of Cultivator.

Federal Lossks at Vicksbcrg —The Richmond
Examiner tvidently does not credit the state
ments about the many tl ousand Vatkees killed
in the repeated assaults on \ cksburg. I. saya:
At one time 60,000 of Gram’s men are klf and ;
then 50,003 more; last Saturday ano-her s.na.i
batch, 10,000 or so, were deposed of; and on
Wednesday the work of death was still a-doing.
It appears, therefore, that at least one hundred
thousand of his original seventy thousand troops
have been butchered; and unless they get up to
be killed again, like J»ck-i’-the box, the siege of
Vleksburg ought to be shortly and h&ppiiy con
cluded.

was the most severe, and one of the hottest cf

Roads, at the same lime moving on his left and
endeavoring to cut him off from the mountains.
The mdm body of the enemy, in front on the
turnpike, consisting of 10',0M) covalry, three bat
teries, and two brigades ot lnianiry. advanced with
spirit, and deploying their in an try as sharp
shooters, made it necessary for onr cava r 7 to fall
back. Tre batteries on both sides were, duriug
this time, hotly engaged, mid one piece on oor

on the left at the ■ amo time, end thus drew them
on nearly to Ashby’s Gap, the day winding up
wiih a bi of but hot charge at Upper vide, in which
they were driven b ck sad tiaaly hurt.
Yesterday Gen. S uart advanced in his turn,
and the enemy continued to reneat before his

he establ.shed his pick ts near A’die, and return

considerable—among others, Lt. Uot. Lewis, 3th

“ P. W. A.,” the ever reliable corregfiopAtint of
the riavannah Republican, gives a satisfactory in
sight into ass urs as they stood at the date of his
writing. His first ieiter is dated June 19 :
I write from the town of Paris, whioh is situa
ted in Ashby’s Gap in tue Blue Ridge, and jnst
on the bcundary line be'.rsen Fauq lier a_d
Clarke counties, in the v,cinity of which and
Snicker’s Gap Longstreet’* corps is now encamp
ed. Hill’s corps was at Cu'peper Court Honse
two days ago, with orders to fdUow on, and it is
supposed that he will reach Chester's Gap near
Front Rovai to-day, should he take that route ;
or this vicinity, if he took the route by which
Longstreet came.
A courier juat in from the Potomac, informs
me that Ewell was at Williamsport last mght.—
Oae ot bis divitions (Edward Johnson’s) had
crossed the river at Shepfrdstown,and was hold
ing the ford at that place. Another division
(R iode’s) had crossed at Willmmsport on the
lffitb, ami was holding the ford at taat point.—
Early’s division ot the same corps was in the vi
cinityof Martiusb'r r, in supporting distance of
tbe forces at the two lords.
Such is the present position of the army, exo»pt
the cavalry, which occupies a line passing through
MidJleburg end between Ashby’s and Snicker’s
Gars on the west, and Manassas and D 4 ntreville
on tbe east. An Aid-de-camp of Hooker was
capluied yesterday with important dispatches, by
aio by, Ih' in the rear oi tho enemy’s cavalry
forces, and the report he makes and tbe dispatches
found upon him, induce tte belief that the Fede
ral army uno ir Manassas and Centreville, and
in and dly'expectation ol an attack from us. There
can be no impropriety iu communicating the
forpgoing lactr, since oar whole position will have
b;c: completely cnanged tong before tins letter
can reach your reade*s.
Allusion was mede in one of my last letters
from Culpeper to tho brilliant strategy of General
Lee, and by which he was actually maccouvering
Hooker out of the State of Virgmia without a
battle. Tffis letter will inform you how success
fully the plans of the great Con ederate leader
ave worked. First, he moved Longstreet’s
corps from Fredericksburg up to Culpeper Court
Honse, forty mil s above. This move on the
military chess-boa'd called for a counter more
on the part of Hooker; but he had just begun to
make it, when Ewell was ordered to Culpeper
also, wherce he advanced by rap'd marches
across the Blue Ridge, and fell Ike a clap of thun
der upon Miiroy at Winchester aod Martiasburg,
captaring the greater part of his forces, many
guns and heavy supplies cf graiD, ammunition
and other military stores. Having done this, 1 e
moved promptly up to the Potomac and occupied
fords as we may de-ire to use, in ths event it
shall be deimed proptr to advance into the ene
my’s country. The sudden appearance of Ewell
iu the Valley ol the Shenandoah, coupled with
the demonstration at. Culpeper, made it necessary
for Hooker to abandon Fredericksburg entirely,
a-d to occupy the streg positions at Centreville
aed Manassas, so as to interpose his army be
tween us and Washington, and thus prevent a
sadden desc mt from the Blue Ridge by Gen. Lee
upon the Federal capital. Meanwh )e, Longstreet
aud Hi!l were following fast npon Ewell’s racs.,
the lorruer reaching Asiiby’s and Snicker’s Gaps
in time to prevent any movement upon Eae.l’s
rear, and the latter (Hill) getting to Culpeper iu
good season to protect Lougstreet’s reap, or to
co-cpe v ate with him in the event of an attack
upon his flmk, or to guard against any demon
st-Vion in the direction of Richmond.
Thus yon will perceive that Gen. Lee, having
got the start of his antagonist, has managed to
keep it, and that whenever and wherever Uookir
apnrouched onr lines, he found Lee not only in
advance ot him, but the head of his column still
pushing forward. It is a noteworthy fact in this
connection that Gen. Lee moved along the foot of
the Blue Ridge on the eastern side, and continued
to make demonstrations by his cavalry as if be
intended to move' upon Manassas by tbe same
route that he look last year. These feints em
embarraas and and delayed Hooker’s movements,
and kept him in a state of uncertainty at a time
when the head of our column wus advancing
swiitiy and secreßy upon thß fords of the upper
Fotowao.
The march from Culpepper C. H. to this place
was very trying, the reads being dry aud dusty
and the weather hot. Many ol the
men fell by the way eide from gun stroke, and
h and to be left behind to be brought op by the am
bulances. Some of them died in a few minutes
after they were struck dowu; others who hod
simply fainted away, recovered after a night’s
■eat and resumed the march. A: Piedmont,
twelve mi'e3 from this place, we encountered a
ihuuderstorm, which swept down from the sum
mit of the Blue Ridge with tremendous violence.
The men slept upon the wet ground in their wet
ciotbep, and next morning marched to Ashby’s
Gap, where it has been raining ever since their
arrival. We are now encamped among the
clouds, drenched to tho skin wi'h rain and near
ly sw pt away by the wind which rushes through
the Gip withgreat force. Nowand then there is
an opening in the clouds, end we discern patches
of sunshine on the plains below.

Beret’s Ferry, Shenandoah River, )
Jane 21, 1863 j
At four o’clock yesterday afterr on, the forces
at Paris received orders to cross the Shenandoah
aod go into camp on ihe west bank. The ram
was pouring down in torren s when the column
commence 1 the descent of the mountain, but
when we reached the Valley and crossed the river,
we found that tbe-ehad been but little rain in the
Valley during all the time it had been storming
on the mountain. The men waded the river,
which cane up to their ermpits, some with their
clothing on, others carrying it on their bayonets,
and all of them shouting and et-joyirg the scons.
Meanwhile, the bands arawa up on either bank,
played 11.xie anti other spirited airs. The river
runs just at the foot of the mountain at this point,
and is one of the most beautiiul streams in this
land of be witching scenery.
It wrs at this for that Johnston crossed when
he marched from Winchester to the assistance of
Besuri g rd at Manassas.
At * o’c oek this » ternoon couriers came in
from the front and reported that Stuart had been
hotly engaged all day with a large Federal force
of cavalry and infantry, and that he had been
compelled to retire upon Ashby’s Gap, badly cot
up. In a short time several wounded men were
brought back, and they confirmed the previous
reports. Buts w details have been received, but
it would appear that the conflict wss hot and
severe lor cavalry. Many of our own wounded
and of such prisoners as we took bore the marks
ot the sabre upon their heads and arms. The
greater partol our wounded however, and all our
dead, fell into the hands of tt e enemy. It was
no‘. unusual for our cavalry who were unsup
ported by infantry, to charge and drive back the
enemy ; but when they would do so, it was ODly
to their own loss. The Federal infantry were
frequently posted along the sides of the hills and
behind stone fences, and when our cavalry would
charge forward, they would open a murderous
fire upon them from their coverts. The Confed
erate "loss was considerable, and cor forces admit
that they got the worst of the tight.
Immediately upon the receipt of the above in
telligence, McLuws was di-ected to recross tha
Shenandoah and defend Ashby’s Gap, to which
point our cavairy hod fallen back, lie now oc
cupies the Gap with bis whole division, and
should the enemy attempt to storm it, they will
catch a terrible punishment. . .
We hear also that Hood was engaged at bnicK
er’a Gsp to-dav, thirteen miles oelow, but we
have no details.' - The enem T is probaoly trying
to ascertain our real portion, and to
pass the gaps and cut oil Hill’s corps above, or
Ewell’s in Maryland ; he is too late. Our forces
are a ready in a position to be concentratea when
it shall be deimed advisable. We have remained
here thus long only to enable Hill »o get up, which
he oas dene.

beg leave to rep. rt that, in the absence of any
ref. rence to Fore gn A Hairs in the message of the
President, on the opei iug of Confess, and with
out access to the archives of the State Drpr-i
ment, your Committee deemed it due to ihe im

The House, accordingly, adopted the following
r. solution of inquiry.
Resolved, That the President b 9 respectfnlly
requested to communicate s o the Bouse, if not
incompatible with the publ.o interest, ti e number
and names of all persons engaged in the service
oi the Confederate States iu foreign countries,
either as diplomatic, consular, and commercial
agents, or in any other capacity, stating thp p aces
to which they had been sent, the date of. their ap

correspondence as may have been had with other
Governments, either through the Secretary of
Slate or our Commissioners ab.cud, rs will aid
Congress in its legislation regarding foreign na
tions, and their citizens reßiu.ug in our miast.
To this resolution, on the 16ih in -taut, the fol
lowing response was received from iffi: lluio De
partment, and referred to the Committee :
Confederate States of J mer.ua, )
Department of Stave, >■
(Richmond, September 35, l r ßo. j
The Secretary of Statu, to whom ~as referred
a o.rtnin resolution of the House of Representa
tives, adopted on the Ist i .stant, has the honor to
report to the President—
That it would be imuosaible to communicate to
the House, without vt.y great detriment to the
public interest, “the number and names 1 all
persons engaged in the serv ce of the Confeu '.rate
States in toreign countries JlUeras diolnmatic,
consular or commercial agents, to which they
have been sent, the date of m.ir appointment,
the salaries they receive, the duties .aey qro ex
pected to discharge”. It is presumed that tbe
House is acquainted with the purt.e i ars call-d
for in the foregoing extract from ths .esclu.ion,
so far as diplomatic agents are concerned, but a
tabular statement marked A, hereto annexed, mny
prove convenient for ;eference. During the un
den sy of hostilities, the very objects lor which
other than diplomatic agents have been sent
abroad would be exposed to defeat by divulging
the details called tor in the resolution, and these
objects are of great national importance.
The resolution further inquires how far the
agents aforesaid have been olhatally or otherwise
recogaized by any foreign Gove'rment. The
extracts of the correspondence ot the )epnrlm3in
hereto annexed i arkad B, fur ish toe o-.ly in -
formation on this subject con uioed "fficu.l
communications.
The resolution furtb.r inqui t> tu “*unm
her and character of Foreig. Age.., .i.r •
consular, commercial or ether, km. .. to oi.
Government, represen in any capacity '’’oreigL
Governments, within the limits of tue.Uoufeder
ate States, and whether ;n cummunicati'-m wit 1 ,
the Government tbej do so under an e x-qua.n
from our own Government or that of the Uni.ec
States.”
The annexed list, ma had U. shows the names
of theoniy agents of Foreign uorernments known
by the D: partment with,n tfie limits of tbe Con
federate States. All tht -e agents, except one,
had been recognized by . e Government of me
United States by exequ&t es the duly authcr
thorized agents of the Fo. qn Governments by
which the) were respective., appointed, at a pe
riod antecedent to that when nescveial Confede
rate Sates revoked the powers previously dele
gated to the U. States, and uncer wbfoh the Gov
ernment of i aU. States controlled . s relations,
whether dip., matio or com nercial, which gre?,
up between these States aud foreign coun' ries
According to well recognized principles, both of
public and private 1& theee agents ot Fore gc
Governmentu hav, lg bu n recognized as iuou u y
the agent of the several Confederate States, prior
to the revocation of the power delegated to nat
tgent, remained so recognized after the revoca
tion.
It was, and is undoubtedly within the power of
this Government, as it ’v with.n that of all Gov
ernments, to decline pt. citing the above-m n
tioned agents to remain Within our tmils; I'M
for obvious reasons the exorcise of i.uch power
has b en deemed unwise and impolitic.
The one agent who i„ e -spied >om these re
marks is Brest Raven, L.. ;., who vas appo.
CoL-ml for the State of- res, by ids H ghness
the Duke of uaxa Cobur »at ° 'tha, * i who
applied t' this Government for.a ex,q ur on
the3olh ci July, 1816, which wee 'asm - .o h,:i
on the 21st of August, 1861.
It is proper i j add, that a short f me ago it
came accidental f to the knowledge of the De
par ment that a certain Baron de St Aadro hrd
assumed the functions of Consul or Consu.ar
Agent for the French Governm nt at tha port of
Charleston, since the es.ablistmeut of tha Con
tederatd Government, and witnout applying for
an exequatur to this Department But, just at a
time when this information was received, intelli
gence was also received tha. Baiun St. A idre bad
felt Charleston with his family for the United
States, with the probable intention of returning
in tbe autumn. In the event of such return,
proper action will be promptly taken by the De
partment to repress tbe otfc sive assumption of
consular functions by a foreign agent without the
sanction of this Government.
« ( lhe resolution further inquires whether said
agents “ are subordinate or subject to the control
and direction, or m any way and to what degree,
of tbe ministers of their respective countries ac
credited to the Government of the United States.”
The Depaitm.nthaß no information en tbis sub
ject, but it is thought not improbable that the in
structions sent by foreign (iovemmenta to their
Consular Agents within the Confederacy are
transmitted tniough diplomatic agent r sid ng n
Washington. It is not thought probable that the
foreign consuls within the Confederacy are un
der tne , ontrol and direction of foreign ministers
accredited to the Uaited States in aDy other man
ner thau is above indicated, but no positive .n
formation on the subject has reached the Depart
ment. It is known to the Department that the
foreign consuls within the Confederacy communi
cate with their Governments in Ku >pe by send
ing despatenes to the care of the minister of their
respective Government! residing in Washington,
and tbe Department ha,* thus been enabled on
different occasions to cause correct information to
re&Ln loreign countries on matters, which it was
highly importer ato the public interest should
be widely disseminated and pioperly under
stood. . . ..
The resolution of the House further reque" >tbe
President “ to communicate such lLo.ructions as
may have been given 10 ;ur loreign agents, and
suen eorrespouaence as may have been bad w.in
other Governments, either through the Secretary
of State or our Commissioners abroad, as win aid
Congress in iis legislation regarding lore’gu na
tions and their citizens reel, ng in our mmet.
Tbe accompanying uocum mt, marked b con
tains ail tbe communications called lor, not rith
erto submitted to Congress, except suer as caa
not, for tbe present, be divulged without i.jury
to the public aerTica.

To tbe President.
Your Committee have examined carefully this
letter of the Secretary of State, with the docu
ments accompanying it, and are not prep .red,
upon the data lurntshed, to recommend either
tbe adoption or rejection ot the original proposi
tion submitted to mem, and without entering at
large into the reasons that have induced this
conclusion, state briefly that the facts comnuni
eated are so limited and of Bach a character as to
have aided them but little in their investigation.

that as the recognition of our independence cy

and, second, whether it would bs w to refuse to
recognise the consular agents oi oth :r govern
ments openly exercising their privileges • ur

with whieh we ate at war.
Without lurther remark upon the res rve ot the
State Department on this subject, your commutes
will merely add that they are net allowed to be
ignorant of the tact made known th- ugh |uib
iiahed official correspondence. o T i irti.u Govern
ments and the debates in tho Lrition Parliament,
that some such agents cf cur Government in
eome capacity, either consular or commercial, lo
txiot abroad ; but of their number, or the coun
tries to which they have been sent, or the powers
they have been permitted to. exercise, yeur com
mittee are ignorant, und the CDmoiLntcaiiou of
the Secretary of State gives no lntcrmauon on
tbe subject. We are, however, incidentally made
aware ol the fact that a regular correspondence
is oarried on between the consuls ct Foreign
Powers, residing in our midst, and the ministers
of those Powers, accredited and rusidiug ut Wash
ington, tt rough a regular established channel of
communication, which the United States Govern
ment has succeeded in inducing those powers,
notwithstanding the remonstrances of our Secre
tary of State, to close effectually against u 1 cor
respondence ot our Government wi'h its amts
abroad. It is also made known by the communi
cation from the State Department th«t one of cur
Conmr leioners, Mr. Rost, has resigned ! s posi
tion, aud that b;fore doing so, he -übmit'ed t.)
the Pres dent whetaer ii was consist< n* v. th our

Another, Mr. Mason, dated June 2i>i, writes :
“ 1 have conferred frequently and freely with
