Colton Thren|h Washington.
Commenting on Mr. Seward’s letter of
the 28th of May, and Earl Russell's ro
ply to it, the New York Herald says:
“He (Russell) was evidently pleased with
the results of the late battles before
Richmond, and they justified to some ex
tent his doubts of our ultimate succes*
(in putting down the rebellion); but with
the new campaign inaugurated under
Gen. llalleok, we expect soon to convince
Earl Russell and Her Majesty’s Govern
ment that their only way to our South
ern cotton leads through the City of
Washington.”
It is due the Herald, however, to say
that the above paragraph wee written on
the 271 h of August—a day or two pre
vious to the second “Dull Ituu disaster”
and before Proclamation Pope found it
necessary to “change Ihe base of his
operations.”
Karl It ■•• sell and Ibe Press.
One of the most delicate sarcasms of
the day appears in Russell’s reply lo
Seward's long, nonsensical letter of the
28th of May. Referring to Seward’s
complaints against tho English press uuJ
statesmen for “encouraging the rebol
bellion,” Earl Russell slates, in sub
stance, that inasmuch as the freedom of
the press is a recognized principle in the
English Constitution, and that freedom
of speech cannot be abridged in a free
government, Her Majesty had not seen
fit, like the rail-eplitting king iu Amer
ica, to cstablieh a censorship over the
press and circumscribe tho limits of free
speech merely because certain purlies in
England had failed to appreciate the
Christian benevolence of Mr. Lincoln in
waging a war of extermination for tho
“restoration of the Uuion.”
The Now \ ork Herald, in its comments
on Earl Russell’s letter, inßisls that the
newspapers under the Lincoln govern
ment enjoy as much freedom as those of
any other country, England not excepted.
This is decidedly rich when we remember
that no paper is allowed to exist at the
North a single day unless it endorsos
and sustains the Administration. A man
daro not raise his voioo against the Abo
lition parly now in power at Washington,
without being in imminent danger of Ihc
Destile, and even women and children
must eee to it that they wear no dresses
or other personal decorations of a “con
traband” nature. Only a few weeks
sinoe a young lady in Maryland was ar
restod and placed iu close coufiuomuut
because she had (he vulgar taste to work
with her own hands, an artiole of bed
clothing, the colors of which approxima
ted those es the “rebel ilag.” Prouii
nout citizens have beou arrested in Mary,
land for saying that Lincoln was an Abo
lition pimp, and that his Administration
was little bettor than an absolute despot
ism. Ministers of the Gospel havo been
dragged from the sacred desk and con
signed to filthy dungeons merely because
they refused lo pray for Lincoln and his
free negro administration. Yet this is
“liberty” quoth the Herald.
What the Yankees Salt! Before tlie
Battle.
On the 128th of August, tho New York
Times said:
“Tho rebels now aland in our front,
numbering, at the outside, 125,000, while
to moot them we have already 200,000,
which will very speedily be increased to
250,000 or 300,000, and can be increased,
if necessary, to 400,000 men. Our posi
tion is strong, and although the enemy
seems to be making desperate attempts
to turn our flanks, or break our line,
there is not one chanoo in ten of his
aohioving any important success, lly
destroying the bridge across the Rappa
hannock, wo have rendered their passage
of that river impossible, and have secur
ed for ourselves all the time needed for
preparation. The remainder of the army
of the Potomac will speedily take its
position, and then without waiting to be
attaoked or putting himself upon the
defensive even for a day, tho country
expeots General Ilalleck to put himself
at the hoad of this magnitioetit and irre
sistible national army, and march over
the rebels into Richmond.’’
We ask the reader to take especial
notice of what this writer says in regard
to the forco and position of the Yankee
army. Aooording to his own showing,
our army of 125,000 has cut to pieces
and completely routed theirs of at least
200,000, and probably 250,000. This
grand “Union” army cf subjugation
which was to march over the “rebels,”
rough shod, into Richmond, is at this
moment, either hiding behind its ram
parts at Alexandria, or cowering under
shelter of its gunboats at Occoquan, or
tljing for life before tho avenging squad
rons of Stuart and Robinson, or the in
fantry of Jackson and Longstreet. It is
hoped, therefore, that we shall hear no
more whining, whimpering excuses for
cowardice on the plea of being “over
whelmed” by “superior numbers.”
But it appears, further, that it was
“impossible to cross tho Rappahannook,”
yet the Rappahannock has been crossed.
Neither was there “one chance in ten”
of Jackson’s turning Pope’s flank. Yet
old “Stonewall” did turn it. According
therefore to tho showing of the Times,
when read by the light of subsequent
events, our troops have performed im
possibilities, whioh is more than we
olalm for ourselves.

ICast. Tennessee Correspondence.
Ni:.ut SEviKitmiE, Te.vjj., Sept. Ist, ISG2.
Eds Sun : Since 1 labt wrote you, the
Kjiirit of reneyudiny has been revived. 1
hear it stated Jhat one thousand have re
cently gone from this region. Many of
them, it is said, leave families. Is not
this a singular position lor a man to place
himself in—to leave his family in the
midst of a people aud to be supported by
those whom ho has gone to help subju
gate — whoso country and tho sacrcdnoss
of whose homes he wishos to see invaded ?
Now, it is high time that this evil was
remedied. So far os the tories leaving
the country is concerned, we do not object
to it, if it were only dono in the proper
manner. If they would only take their
families with them, so as not to leave
them a burdcu to the country, their room
would be of infinite more value than
thoir company. And wo would heartily
rejoice if our’authorities would issue a
proclamation allowing all the disaffected to
leave at once, and furnish them an escort
to see that they did pass our lines, provided
that they would take their families with
them. They would do ns a great deal
less harm within the enemy’s lines than
ours—they could give them little or no
important information that they do not
non- give them. Thoy would then be out of
the way—the foul blot would bo removed
from East Te’nn., and tho citizens who are
for the South could feel that themselves
nnd families wero in some security. Will
not tho press call attention to this ? let
it be insisted that a proclamation be at
once made, permitting all the disaffected
to leave, it would be a gracious riddance ;
it would be lifting an incubus from the
heart of this struggling country. We
do not clamor for their blood; wo hope
never to see the blood policy adopted with
them ; many of them are poor deluded
wretches, and it would boa mercy to
tho country to send them away. I have
miDglcd enough among the pooplo here
to know what I am talking about.
Our forces are lately picking up some
renegades, some of whom represent them
selves as sick and tired of their trip;
but what effect this will havo on their
tory brethren, wo shall not undorlnke
to predict. They are hard to convince ;
they are pursuing a phantom and seem
bent on pursuing it to (heir ruin.

l’ariou Brown low on the Affair, at
Cumberland Gap.
. New York papers of the 29th andSOth
ult. manifest much uneasiness oonoern
ing tho situation of affairs at the Gap.
Among other letters giving a dolorous ac
count of Fedoral disasters in East Ten
nessee, we find one from tho traitor
Brown low, in which he has positive in
formation through a “Union clergyman,”
that the “Union foroes” had been sur
rounded, and would either be cut to
pieces or forced to surrender. He says
that Gov. Morton, of Indiana, started a
large force to relieve Gen. Morgan at the
Gap, but that they had been detained at
Lexington. This detention is well un
derstood by Gen. Kirby Smith, and our
readers havo already heard the particu
lars of that remarkable “detention.”
The renegade parson winds up by say
ing ;
“I have Leen for months disgusted with ihe
management of affairs in Kentucky and Ten
nesi-e*. and 1 have this day started a messen
ger to Washington, with . "letter to Secretary
htanton, making known this state of things
If our Government dee* not intend a more
energetic and sensible course of conduct I ad
vise the authorities to surrender to Jeff'. Davis
and ins plundering and perjured hordes.” '
The Ktw Htbcl Steamer <‘A’o v Ji9o.”
According to the following statement,
furnished by the London correspondent
of tho Dublin Evening Mail, the new
“rebel” steamer “No. 200,” which has
just given the Tuscarora the elip, is an
iron clad and a very formidable vessel:
She can steam from 10 to 18 knots an
hour; is perfectly seaworthy; for all
practical purposes invulnerable, and will
prove to any vessel she may encounter as
formidable an antagonist as our own War
rior, the boa9t of the British navy. This
is tho “No. 200,” as to whose whereabouts
Union cruisers have with reason betrayed
such anxiety. It had been known for
some timo that a large and powerful iron
vessel whs constructing at the dockyard
of Messrs. Laird & Birkenhon 1; but mon
sters of the deep are so tam-eii the order
of the day at that establish ok it that no
one troubled his head much out this
new production, or cared to i e-nark the
great thickness of the plates w:.ich were
being used.
At the very last moment the Federal
authorities seem to have had their sus
picion aroused, for the Tuscarora whs
despatched to keep watch in the neigh
borhood of the dock where she lay, and
tho southern coast of Ireland was also
strictly watched. “No. 290,” mean
while, apprised of all that was going on,
dropped down the river quietly one day,
and steamed out into the bay, nominally
for her trial trip—with a party of ladies
and musicians on board Instead, how
ever, of returning to moorings at Birk«
euhead, where she would have been kept
in duranco vile by the Tuscarora, she
quietly landed her passengers, avoiding
Cork, Waterford, &c., in the neighbor
hood of which she might have heard of
something not at all to her advantage.
“No 290” steamed round by London
derry and Donegal, and was joined off the
went coast of Inland by the steamer
which had previously sailed, having on
board the armament intended for the
“Ironsides.”
Proclamation hy the President.
To the People oj the Confed.rate Slates:
Once more upon the plains of Manassas
have our armies been blessed by tho Lord of
Hosts with a triumph over our enemies. It
is my privilogo to invite you once more to Ilia
footstool, not now in the garb of fuming and
sorrow, but with joy and gladness, to render
thanks for the great mercies received at Ilia
hand*. Alow months since, and our enemies
poured forth their invading legions upon our
soil. They laid waste our fields, polluted our
altars, and violated the sanctity ot our homes.
Around our capital they gathered their force*,
and with boastful threats claimed it as already
their prize. Tha bravo troops which rallied to
its defence havo extinguished these vain
hopes, and, under the guidance of the same
Almighty hand, have scattered our enemies
and driven them back in dismay. Uniting
these defeated armio* which had been rava°-
ging our coasts with the army of invasion in
Northern Virginia, our enemies have renewed
their attempt to subjugate us at the very place
where their first eit'un was defeated, and the
vengeance of retributive justice has overtaken
the entire host, in a second and complete
overthrow.
To this signal success accorded lo our arms
in the East, lias been graciously added anoth
er equally brilliant in tho West. On tho very
day on which our forces wero led to victory on
the plains ot Manassas in Virginia the same
Almighty arm assisted us to overcome our
enemies at Richmond, in Kentucky. Tims at
ono and tho same time, have the two great
hostile armies been stricken down, anti the
wicked designs of our ouemies sot at naught.
Iu such circumstances, it is meet and right
that, as a people, we should bow down in ador
ing thankfulness to that gracious God who lia*
been our bulwark and defence, and to offer
unto Him the tribute of thanksgiving and
praise. In his hand are the issues of all evonts,
and to Him should wo, in an especial manner,
, a wii>» dis Jio»«r deliverance.
Now, therefore, I, Jefferson Liavis, President
of the Confederate tjtatos, do issue this, my
proclamation, setting apart Thursday, the lfitli
day of September, instant, as a day of prayer
and thanksgiving to Almighty God, for the
great moroies vouchsafed to our people, and
more especially for the triumph of our arms
at Richmond and at Manassas ; and I do here
by invite the people of (he Confederate States
to meet on that day at their respective places
of public worship, and to unite in rendering
thanks and praise to God for these great mer
cies, and to implore Him to conduct oureouu
try safely through the perils which surround
us to the final attainment of the blessings of
peace and security.

Complimentary to Somebody,
Butler, in his highfaludng address to
his troops on tho occasion of the awful
licking they got at Baton Rouge, (they’ll
hate the sight of a red stick as long as
Ihoy live,) says:
“Michigan stood by Maine, Maesacli*
usetts supported Indiana, Wisconsin
aided Vermont, while Connecticut, rep
resented by the sons of the evergreen
shamrock, fought as their fathers did at
Boyne Water.”
Who, asks the Mobile Advortiser, waß
the father of Zebedee’s children? When
that question is answered we shall be in
a fair way to find out who were the fath
ere of the sons of the “perpetually ver
dant counterfeit mass of mineral mat
ter” of which he speaks. However,
there were two sides at Boyno Water as
at Baton Rouge, ono that whipped and
one that ruu Now, to which side does
this sweet creature of bombast—Picay
uue Butler, Beast Butler, Haynan But
ler, lloop-polc Butler, or whatever title
suits his ear—this Yankee Ealstaff,
whose men havo been tnado food for
powder which he never ventured within
smell of either at Bethel or at Baton
llougo—to which does he allude ?
It is surprising, by the way, that But
ler never dares lo go where bullets are
fiyiug. What is he afraid of? Towder
and ball will never kill him; at least
not so loug ns ho is on Southern soil.
From tho Richmond Enquirer.
Yankee Villainy,
We are informed by J. M. Forbes, Esq ,
of Fauquier county, that the enemy, on
their retreat, committed the most atro
cious and wanton injuries at hie mansion,
situated on the road from the Fauquier
Springs to Warrentou. They took the
utmost pains to destroy his furniture,
tearing doors from hinges, breaking
locks, destroying or stealing his beds and
bedding, gashing aud defacing bureaus,
X.C. They broke open his secretary and
soattered to the winds al! his private pa
pers. They did the sama with his books.
Mr. Forbes attributes this violence to
the fact that some of his slaves, who
were attempting to escape, had been ar
rested through the opportunity afforded
by Gen. Stuart’s expedition and brought
within our lines. The Yankees resented
this in the manner we have seen. They
further attempted to induce the remain
ing servants to leave the farm and g" off
with them, nnd, on their refusal, treated
them as they had treated their master
destroying their furniture, ripping open
their beds, carrying off the corn which
had been left for their support, &c. They
also drove off farm horses, killed the
stook, &c. These are the deeds of the
creatures who came to win us back to
the Union !
