I'hc object of sußjicnding ihc draft iu
Neir Vork was doubtless to afTord time
in collect a sufficient military force there
to enforce it. That object has been
partially accomplished; the city is uow
under military rule. Lincoln is triumph
ant ; Seymour and his “Democrats” have
quailed, “gone under,” “subai fed,' 1
simmered down
Tbisi* one of the greatest triumphs of
Abolitionism during the war. The
•■Democrats” (office seekers,) with Sey
mour at their head, had made furious
threats of what they intended to do in
case the enforcement of the draft should
be attempted ; they were going to uphold
“Constitutional Liberty they intended
to “spill their blood,” they intended to
reach the lllack Puritans that “white
men should i ule America they wanted
the “Union as it vat," and would have
it on no other terms: All this meant
• tjice, and now their dupes have been
iuilied over to ihc tender mercies of
Lincoln. Property holders, who have
hail a slight foretaste of anarchy in the
three day riots, have weighed “Democ
racy" in the balance and found it want
ing. It will do very well to-seek office
under, but it wont protect property ; it
will not stay the torch of the incendiary;
ii will give uo security of life or prop
i rly. They have learned llio value of
tiorerMnenl ; they cure not what the
“Democrat ” call ii Despotism, Abso
lute m, Terrorism, lligherarcliy, Ili
;;'ircliy. Monarchy or what not—they
prefer it alllo Anarchy, lo Mobocracy,
in ‘ Democracy,” such ns they have
found it.
Let Lincoln now garrison tiotliain ; he
oiay soon have to garrison Cincinnati,
i hi. ago, Philadelphia, Detroit and even
Ihe . lintly Hartford. It is all a part
and pan el of Ihc programme in a “war
loathe integrity of the Union,” a War
lor ihc perpetuity of “Constitutional
liberty, ’ “a war lor civilization;” aye, a
war for the “Union as it teas;” Let
“Democracy” understand the proceed
ing; it wanted Union “at all hazards,"
let it now set. itself about enjoying it,
uli! “Democracy!” glorious “Democ
racy !” “National Democracy!” we hail
i bee blessed !

Most of the Southern people remem
ber Mrs. Fanny Kemble Duller, the pop
nlar Miss Fanny Kemble, who used to
personate Juliet in the theatres at New
Orleans, (liarlcalon, Richmond and other
Southern cities. Never was passionate
and self sacrificing love liioro powerfully
represented. Sighing for a bliss more
real (ban that found in the brain of the
Dramatist, she one day found a real
Romeo of her own choosing, and well
did she make the poor victim rue the day
he was born. A more complete terma
gant never nlllictcd an unhappy son of
Adam. Juliet finally betook lierself to
separation, and, like Funny Fern, Mrs.
“lows, and other horny whipcord speci
mens of the female Vankee, went lo
scribbling. She has just published a
book iii which she caricatures Southern
iciely, and, of course, invokes the ven
reaucu of Iloaveu on the “sin of slavery.
I or the disgusting blasphemies and indel

been toasted all over Abolition England,
and is at prescut tlio reigning deity of

Till* FmU'li Tobacco ill Richmond
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune is writing up Secre
tary Welles, who is ill rather had odour
pi.a now with the New York merchants
on account of his inability to catch the
Florida and the Alabama He shows
ilmt however imbecile that officer may
be mi the sea, he is very good ashore,
and even succeeds iu laying out Seward
now and then. The latter says;
The country will not know in how
iiuiiiy instances its honor Ims been saved
1 1 mu unnecessary concessions to toreigu
Powers by the firmness of Secretary
Welles, until the history of the war shall
have been written from official records.
In at least two of these instances Mr.
tVelles has been more successful in com
bailing the views of the Stale Depart
ment, ihan lie was In the Veterholf ease.
Tli French Minister, the burden of
many of whoso dispatches, as the Yellow
R id; .-'nows, concerned the tobacco own
• i tie French Government and stored
i- Richmond, requested permission to
nip i' on board vessels to sail direct
• i!i. rebel capital; tin- blockade lo
■ r.uM'il at that point for the purpose.
.'VciT-iaiy isewaid was willing to grant
■ o favor asked, but was obliged to refer
ibe ease to Secretary Welles, whose an
wer was to the effect that the United
ales had opened the ports in Virginia
an t North Uarolina, from which the
french Government could export its
tobacco if it desired, and that the United
States would not agree to interfere with
tts transit to Alexandria or Unfort for
the purpose of shipment to France, lie
added that it was asking too much of our
Government to require it to raise a
blockade when nothing but the obstinacy
of the rebels prevented the shipment of
tobacco. To this reply Mr. Nlercier had
no answer to make. To the Spanish
Minister Secretary Seward was willing
10 make a concession, which Secretary
Welles steadily refused.
Tuts Vickcbwko GAttn ison. —We ob
serve from the papers that persons for
merly of this garrison are now scattered
all over the country —some in Macon,
Atlanta, Mobile, Montgomery, Chatta
nooga, and other points. Is the entire
torce scattered and thus lost, tempora
rily, to the service at a time when our
armies are being driven iu for want of
men ? An exchange, it seems, might
have been effected before this time, as
we had a large balance iu our favor.
Georgians Killed. —We notice in a
letter addressed to the Richmond Enqui
rer, dated at Martiusburg, Virginia, the

The Crossing of the rotorac by ;
Lee’s Army.
The Herald’s correspondent, who was |
captured by our cavalry near Hagers- |
town and released after Gen. Lee Crossed ,
the river, telegraphs from Hagerstown,
July Uth. to that paper as follow- : j
After the fight was over 1 was taken, j
amid mud and darkness, to Williams j
port. 1 found the rebel forces rapidly
inarching to the river The crossing
commenced on Saturday afternoon ]
Previous to Ibis Iheenemy hod succeeded
iu constructing a sort of raft, which re ■,
scudded a floating bridge. The wound
ed, who had been placed in houses used i
as hospitals at Williamsport, were put in
wagons and sent over. Then followed
the ammunition train. Rome of the
wagons went by the ford ; for it must be
slated that the rebel force crossed in two
columns, one on the bridge and the
other through the water The retreat
was conducted in the most orderly man-,
ner. The Southern troops are iu no
manner disorganized. They are eager
for fresh encounters. The principal
part of the rebel infantry crossed yes
lerday.
In order to blind the Unionists the
enemy built a long line of high earth
works, built camp fires, and during all
the heavy rain that fell during the night,
drenched as they were with rain, finish
ed their works and marched to Williams
port and crossed before daylight. At
about 6 o’clock this morning nothing re
mained on this side but a brigade of in
fantry, with a few pieces of artillery.
1 got away from the enemy this morn
ing at daylight. Gen. Kilpatrick left
Hagerstown at un early hour Ihiß morn
ing and attacked the rebel brigade on
this side. A brisk fight ensued, the en
emy holding his position fora long lime.
He was near wiough to be supported by
troops from the opposite bank if neces
sary, these again crossing the river for
that purpose. Ido not know what was
the end of this last fight, bul think it
probable the enemy left this side alto
gether, taking his raft over with him.
In conclusion, let me remark —Do not
think that Gen. Lee’s uriny has been
defeated, though this campaign has
ended iu tjie manner stated. I write
this from facts, without, being influenced
by any other consideration than a desire
to report (lie pure auil simple truth,
known to be truth from actual observa
tion, and an unprejudiced criticism of
what 1 saw and heard.
A dispatch from Washington, dated the
1 lilt, says:
This has been a gloomy day in Wash
ington. The 'joyous anticipations of
bagging the whole of Lee’s army were
ibis afternoon dissipated by the official
information that the rebel army had es
caped and succeeded in crossing the Po
tomac without another battle. Much
chagrin is expressed in official circles at
Gen. Meade having permitted the enemy
to escape without another fight.
The disappointment was aggravated
by the intelligence coming every hour of
the increasing virulence of the people
in New York and the spreading of the
mischievous spirit among the towns in
New Kngland. Nothing else has been
talked or thought of here to-day. The trou
ble in N. York is regarded here os the re
sult of deep laid plans of disloyalists and
rebel refugees, who made resistance to
the draft only a pretext for an effort to
cause embarrassment to the Government.
It. is stated that Gen. McDowell is to be
ordered to New York city. Gen. Hooker
had a long consultation with tlie Secre
tary of the Treasury this morning.
From the Mntiile i:n*titer.
Ira linker.
It is sometimes difficult to hit upon an
appropriate heading for newspaper arti
cle, bill we have no hesitation in the
present instance, our purpose being to
immortalize the aforesaid Ira, giving his
hopeful son William, at the same time a
chance fora share of the same immortal
ity. The latter is now a prisoner, hav
ing been captured in the neighborhood
of Vicksburg, and the precious document
which we subjoin was taken from him by
a young soldier from Baldwin county,
whoso lather has forwarded it to us for
publication. Wedouotknow what State
can claim the honor of Ira Baker’s resi
dence ; possibly from his notice of the
“United Brethren” —it is Pennsylvania,
as there are five places of the name of
Newtown iu that State. But Ira is a
representative man, and thousands more
ofthe same stripe are to he found every
where. Here is the letter;
“Newtown, January 21, 1803.

To William Baker.
Mean People. —A Yaukce corres
pondent says "there are some of the
most intensely mean persons in the
neighborhood of Gettysburg, that the
world produces. He cites the following
instances:
On Thursday, a bill of seventeen hun
dred dollars was presented to Gen. How
ard for damage to the Cemetery during
the tight. One man presented Gen
Howard a bill for thirty s.-ven oeuts for
four bricks knocked oti the chimney ot
his house, by our artillery. Our wearied,
and, in maDy instances, wounded soldiers
found pumps locked, so that they could
not get water. A hungry officer asked
a woman for something to eat, and she
first inquired how much lie would pay.
Another begged for a drink of milk, and
the female wished to know if he had any
change. These persons, it should be
remarked, were not posr, but among the
most substantial citizens of the towu and
vicinity.
A Horitur Romant tt-
A HCSBANR im.m»ui Ii A
A Salt Lake corr.*t.pondent of the New
Vo; Tims writes ofthe following ex-
Irauid oar / c of Murmonisin and per
sistence in it. A Mrs. Agnes Pack was
a Miss Ague-. L,wiy, aud her moilier a
Mrs. McMillan This mother employed
six men lu bring her borne from licr
Mormon husband, as a daughter under
age :
(hi Friday ihc six aiders and abettors
of Mrs. McMillan. Ihe mother, were cx
atniacd before a military court of inqui
ry, at U'auip Douglas, consisting of Col.
Ellis, C'apts. Wallace and Black, and
Lieutenant Silliman, when some curious
testimony was elicited. George D. Grant,
for the prosecution, stated that he asked
the men who were air sting the daughter
what writ or authority they had, and
one of them replied; "We are ordered
here by Col. Evans ; Agnes is under age,
and we are going to have her, dead or
alive.” The mother, on being closely
cross-questioned as lo her authority for
taking the volunteers with her replied ;
“I applied lo the Governor to get some
assistance to fetch my daughter away,
and he told me to go to Gen. Connor, and
he (Gen. Connor) would send with me
such confidential men as were necessary.
I accordingly went to Gen. Connor, and
he said that he was willing that the men
should go, but they must go in citizens’
clothes, and said that I might choose
such confidential men as I desired. They
went as citizens, and 1 received my or
ders from Gen. Connor, with permission
to choose such men as would suit me,
and such as were willing to go as volun
teers.
It appears that. Miss Agnes was a Mor
nion, and firm in the faith, aud, consid
ering herself competent to choose her
own destiny, hail been united lo Mr.
Ward E. Pack, after the Mormon fashion,
not being his only wife but liking him
none the less on that account. The
mother, having become gated with Mor
mcnism, withdrew to Camp Douglas, and
was determined to have her unwilling
daughter there too. This Mrs. Agnes
would by uo means consent 10. Hence
tho attempt to obtain her by force.
On application of the mother, Judge
Drake issued a writ of habeas corpus,
commanding Mr. Pack to appear and
show cause why he restrained Agnes of
her liberty. It is staled that, the writ
was orgiuially placed in the hands ot a
resident of Camp Douglas for execution,
who was unable lo find Mr. Pack. The
writ was then placed in the hands of
United Elates Marshal Gibbs, who served
it.
On Monday Judge Drake sat lo hear
the case. The writ was returned as
follows: “X return this writ, ihc with
in named Agnes Lowry being, now be
fore court, she being of lawful age, and
the lawful wife of Hie within Ward E.
Pack.”
Witness proved the marriage accord
ing lo usage of the Territory. Agnes
swore that she had never been restrain
ed of her liberty, that she was 20 years
of age the day before her marriage to
Ward E. Pack, April 17th last, that she
was lawfully married to him, aud that
she wished to remain with him.
“The mother swore Agnes was but just
turned of seventeen, though she, the
mother, could not recollect the day,
month, nor year, of the girl’s birth, nor
could she tell the date of the birth of her
other children.
"On Tuesday Judge Drake gave his
decision, which was in substance as fol
lows : At the time of Mr. Pack being
married to Agnes, he had another wife,
and, therefore, Agnes, by the law of
Congress, could not be his wife. A girl
was a minor until the extreme term ot
twenty-one years. The prosecution did
claim that Agnes had not attained that ma
jority. Therefore, the custody and con
trol of said Agnes belonged to her moth
er, her father being dead, and the Mar
shal was ordered to place Ihc girl in such
custody.
“The Marshal then gave Agnes into
the custody of her mother, but the girl
was determined not to stay there, aud
declared ; '1 will die right here before 1
will go with her.’ Mr. Pack, seeing she
was determined to stick to him, whom
she had chosen for her lord, offered her
his arm, which she promptly accepted,
and the pair walked out ol court amid
the acclamation ofthe spectators.”
Gen. Ewell a Pbofkssohof Religion.
—Many officers aud soldiers of the Con
federate army, says the Chaiianooga
Confederate, have become soldiers of
Christ since Hie war began. This fact
aud the general disposition of civil and
military officers, and of our people to
refer to their successes, not alone to the
courageous, patriotic heart, and the
Stout arm of flesh, but to tho favoring
providonco of Almighty God extended
to a just cause, have afforded’ us the
strongest assurances of ultimate suc
cess; although we shall be tried as by
fire, and through much tribulation must
enter into the blessedness of froedom and
independence. It affords ns pleasure,
therefore, to chronicle the fact that Gen.
Ewell, to his skill, endurance, valor and
patriotism, evinced iu numerous instan
ces of hardship and trial, has added the
crowning eqcellenee of faith and trust in
God, i hrough Christ, as we learn from
the following extract from a letter from
Charlottesville, Va., July lfith, published
in the North Carolina Presbyterian:
Hut the Lord has prospered us so far.
Alt incident on the train : Said one sol
dier, "John, have you noticed how Gen.
Ewell seems to be aping Gen. Jackson?”
"How?” said the other. "Why, since
Jackson’s death Ewell always has God
in his dispatches.” There is, however,
a better explanation, which, no doubt, is
the true one. Gen. Ewell has lately pro
fessed conversion, and is now a very dif
ferent man from what he was iu the be
ginning of the war. This change is said
to tie owing in a great measure to the
Godly example and Christian influence
exerted by Gen: Jackson upon all around
him.
Cot ntciu'kit Money in Aiu niiant*K. —
We find the following item in the Atlanta
Confederacy. It is not slt t-d by that
paper where it gut its information ;
After the surrender of Vicksburg, Gen.
Grant detained the garrison for several
days, during which time he was exces
sively kind, giving them everything they
wanted, and particularly as much Con
federate looney as they would accept.
This money lurntf out to he counterfeit,
and the people are now being imposed on
with it in every section through which
these paroled soldiers are passing. A
considerable amount of it lias already
been thrown into circulation in this city.
We have b>en shown some of the e
counterfeits. They were the lake tinted
Ill’s and the ol 1 lloyer & Ludwig 50’s.
We learn that the officers of Grant’s
army were tuppltcd with millions of these
counterfeit Confederate notes, and dis
tributed them by wholesale to ignorant
Confederate soldiers. This, of course, is
done with the knowledge and consent, if
not by the instructions and at the expense
of Lincoln and the War Department at
Washington. None but cowards would
be guilty of takiug such a btvse advan
tage of a manly antagonist. The depths
of unfathomable infamy cannot reveal
anything more contemptible, unprinci
pled and cowardly than this.

Gen. Eosecrans, animated, in all prob
ability. with a desire for the assuring
influence of an approbation of the con
templated aggressive operations by the
Generals commanding under determined
to address a circular to the corps and
division commanders, containing four
inlet rogatories touching upon the main
strategic points of lbe proposed campaign.
Th" questions addressed Io each were in
'substance as follows:
I What is your opinion or knowledge j
of the numeral strength of the forces
lately detached for service elsewhere j
from the rebel army in our front ?
11. Do you deem an advance upon the j
eneuiy, at this lime, and with onr pres
ent effective force, advisable aud pracli- i
cable ?
111. Do you believe that we shall be
able to achieve a decisive victory ?
IV. Do you believe that the result of s i
victory will out balance the risk au
sacrifices involved '!
In regard to the weakening of Bragg’s
army by the withdrawal of troops for the
relief of Vicksburg, there was some di
versity of opinion expressed by the in
terrogated Generals; but to the other
questions the answers of all seventeen
were of a decidedly negative character.
The ground upon which they rested
their indirect remonstrances against an
immediate assumption of the offensive
by the army was congruous in the main,
although, they varied in some details. —
They considered an advance inadvisable
; because:
I. If the enemy be not weakened
enough to decliue the issue of a pitched
general action, our advance would ena
ble them to fight on the defensive in a
chosen, entrenobed position, which ad
vantage was likely to compensate for
any superiority of numbers we may en
• -
-11. If the enemy are 100 much weak
ened by the draft for reinforcements to
other parts of the theatre of war to ac
cept the overture of battle, they would
undoubtedly fall back to their next nat
ural line of defence on Hie Tennessee
river.
111. In the former contingency, that
is, if the enemy were to tight us, we
would incur ou the one hand the risk to
lose, iu case of defeat, not only what
cost us vast sacrifices of life and limb
in the battle of Stone’s river, but much
more. A victory, on the other hand, un
less resulting in the destruction ofthe
whole rebel army, (which the advanta
geous character of its present position
hardly allows us lo expect,) would give
us as gain only a rough mountainous
country, of no stragctic importance, the
possession of which could not hold the
balance, in point of benefit, to the draw
back of the lengthening of our lines of
communication along a single, much ex
posed railroad track which its occupa
lioli would unavoidably necessitate.
IV. In the latter contingency, that
is, if Iheenemy were to retreat to the
Valley of the Tennessee upon ourndvance,
oitT gain would again be only a negative
one of territory, with the drawbacks al
ready stated. What it would the ex
perience of General Buell last summer
fully demonstrated.
All the objecting argumentation, al
thoug not carried directly to, yet drifted
towards the general conclusion that the
country south of the present, front of
operations of the army of the Cumber
land—South, Middle and Eastern Ten
nessee, Northern Georgia and Alabama—-
was impracticable lo an offensive cam
paigu.

Personal.—We had the pleasure of an
interview’ yesterday with our attentive
and agreeable correspondent “Orderly”
(Sergeant It. M. Gray, of the Ist Ga.
Regt.) who left the Army of Tennessee
a few days since on short leave of ab
sence. He appears to be iu tolerable
health, though his features bear many
traces of the hardships and toils incident
to camp life. He says the spirit of de
spondency has not yet found its way into
the army. The “boys” are determined
and hopeful. Some of our home friends
ought, to join the army and endeavor to
imbibe the spirit of true manhood. It
does one’s soul good to shake one of our
brave soldier boys by the hand in these
days of faint hearts and weak knees.

Eds. Sun : I wish to contradict a report which I
learn is circulating in tho lower portion of Russell
county, Ala It is that I would not bo able to give
a bond if elected to fill the office of Tax Colloctor,
and that lam not 21 years old. Said reports are
false. I am 21 years old, and have friends that
have assured me they will make the bond, and if
it were half a million it would be approved. My
friends consider me competent to perform the du
ties of the office or they would not have urged me
to apply for it; and if I LuA not been rendered
incompetent to perform military duty, by wounds
received at the battle of Cedar Run, I could not
have been induced to run for office.
