Lee. issued to bis army from Chambersburg, Pa., Juno 27th. pays that officer tbe highest compliment that md assert their manhood, and to the women to j commander. It declares that Gen. Lee had every recollect their-duty in this our hour of trial. The j temptation to retaliation upon tlio non-eomha- belicvc this difficulty will be very hard to I e:,r . ll<>sl and eloquent appeal to the people to rise i could be bestowed upon a brave and Christian settle. Negro soldiers are likely to prove a “pandora’s box” from which will issue many evils. If-we recognise them as sol diers by taking them prisoners in arms, we acknowledge their equality with us, be sides, we must exchange them as prisoners of war for our Southern soldiers. Such a which 1 received a week since, and read j course would degrade us, as a nation, be neath contempt. If we refuse to take them, but shoot them down over the field, onr own prisoners in their hands, will he butchered. If we deal with them accor ding to the statutes of the several States ; an equal number of our soldiers will be dis posed of in a like manner. What shall we do with them ? I say shoot them down and let the “ black flag” go up. Our Gov ernment by one season of hesitating,doubt ing policy, in regard to retaliation, is now impotent to shield itself from the conse quences. Even now President Davis is with sincere pleasure. It was the first 1 had heard from any of you, for more than two months. I am glad of my ability to inform you of my excellent health, and most sincerely wish this may find yourself and the family, also, well. I have very little in the way of war news t0 g',v e you. Mead has withdrawn his main avm y back to the north side of the upper Rappahannock, and as Gen’l Lee .lias not made any effort to follow him, but on tlie contrary is granting a limited number of furloughs, the prevailing impression is, ad verse to an earlv conflict of arms. 1 he I afraid to ha.c executed, two lankec cap- Xorthern papers inform us that Mead has ; tains, condemned to death, in lctaliation sent twenty thousand of his army to the j for two Confederate officers Burnside hung Xortli, principally to New York, to enforce j for recruiting in Kentucky, because Lin- the draft and to collect and forward con- coin threatens to ban scripts. I am inclined to think Mead will act strictly on the defensive, until his army is largely recruited, and if he waits to col lect and drill the new levies, and Gen’l bee chooses to let him alone, we may have a long season of inaction. I should be glad to see such a state of quiet in this ar- mv, unless, indeed, we could, by attacking, rout the Federal army and drive them back on Washington before he has time to recruit. We have nothing to lose by in- act i hi . j appeal closes with the following eloquent para graph: Oh, freeborn Southern men, women and cliil- • ilren, coi.ie like Roman Curtius, willing to devote j heart, soul and body on Ihe shrine of Lit^rty!

A Ki-proiliiction oi Pompeii. A recent visitor to tlio burned city says: “One day, inside a house, amid falien roof, pud ashes, the outline of a human body was perceiv ed, and M. Fiorelli, the chief of the works for ex cavation, soon ascertained that there was a hol low under the surface. He accordingly made a small hole through its covering, and filled it up with iiqued plasters of Paris, as ii it were a mould. The result was that he had obtained a com plete plaster statue of a Roman lady of the tiist centuries of the Christian era. Close by were found the remains ofa man, another woman, and a girl, with 1)1 pieees of silver money; four ear rings and a finger ring, all gold; two iron keys, and evident remains ol a linen bag or purse. The whole of those bodies have been carefully mould ed in plaster. The first body discovered was a i- . . i-i , - • i woman lying on her right side, with her limbs adjustment, than any likely to arise prew- ■ contril< , t ^,ts ifshe had died in convulsions, The ous to a termination ot the war. But 1 have j form of the head diess and the hair are quite distinct. On the bone of the little "finger were two silver rings, and with this body were the remains of the purse above mentioned with the money and keys. The girl was found in an ad joining room, and the plaster mould taken of the cavity clearly shows the tissue of her dress. By her side was an elderly woman, who had an iron ring on her lil^e iingtr. The last personage I shall describe was a tall, well made man lying full length. The plaster distinctly shows his form, the folds of lus garment, his torn sandals, his beard aud hair. I contemplated these human forms with an in terest which defies expression. It is evident that aU these unfortunate s had made great efforts to escape destruction, ihe man appears to have perished in a vain attempt to rescue the terrified women, w ho thought they could he nowhere so Brig.

The questions of stolen and destroyed property, and the national boundary, will he more difficult of not the time, nor is it necessary to speak of them now,—“ sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” If Congress will enact a law, and the au thorities rigidly enforce it,to prevent block ade funning by any one, except the Gov ernment for Government purposes, with We are gathering strength every day j any power whatever, prohibit speculations by the return of deserters, and the volun- j in Yankee “ greenbacks,” or, articles nc- t.-iry enlis'ments of men from 40 to 45 years.

But “Gen. Lee has disdained to copy after so foul a model, or to com pete with Butler, and such as he, in tho struggle for undying infamy. In doing so, “lie has gain ed the noblest victory the Confederates have won from us—the vitcory they havo achieved on our own soil, aud more damaging to our reputa tion than any gained by them from Bull Run to Chancellorsvilic.” « » * “Gen. Lee has (in this) done more for his own fame aud his country’s glory than by all his military achieve- meats:'’ The Record continues; He knew that Jackson had bceu given to the flames, aud Darien laid in ashes; he knew that Southern towns had been shelled without being called upon to surrender, and Southern planta tions levelled in very wontonness—and yet no answering flames flung their fiery glare upon the Pennsylvania sky; no emulative wrecks cum bered, with their unsightly masses, Pennsylvania soil, and no unheralded shells carrying death within it, fell bursting amid the maids and mat rons, the old men aud hloomiug children of Penn sylvania. Before you endeavor to undertake the magnanimity of this conduct, ask yourself. O rea der, could you, under like circumstances, have acted in like manner. Could you have turned (from the blighted fields of your devastated sec tion and left the fruitful, smiling valleys of the South uninjured. The man that could, can un derstand the noble conduct of Gen. Lee; the man that could not can at least admire it. Who could blame the Confederate commander if, with these remembrances rankling in his mind, lie had yielded something to the temper of his troops and the weakness of human nature? Cer tainly not we. Gen. Lee could have taken terri ble revenge for all the excesses committed by Fed eral soldiers, and we were debarred by our own conduct from appealing to the public opinion of the nations. He would have been justified by ihe laws of war in retaliating. Humanity is his debtor for having forborne to do so. God iorb'd the time should ever come when the North will be insensible to the magnamity of such conduct that will do more for Lee's glory than if ha had overrun the North from the Potomac to the Lakes. He has “crushed out” retaliation, he has made it impossible lor any Union officer who does not desire to : be consigned to eternal infamy to do as Montgomery and others of that stripe hive done, lie lias beaten us on a field where to be beaten is indeed disgrace, and he has set us au example which we must follow or be "damned to everlast ing fame.” He has read our radicals a lofty les son, and we thank him for it. The lex tulionis will be henceforth a dead letter; for who among them would dare to revive it? In the name of our common humanity and common country, we thank Gen. Lee for having divested the war of half its horrors. A. T. July 3, 1B()3. PUTNAM. Adin’r. 7 tds* Kxccutor's Sate.

It encourages the en emy, while it discourages our own soldiery, l’o doubt our final success is bad enough ; L. publicly express such doubt is Treason to the cause, because it gives “ aid and '■ imfort” to the enemy, and goes further to whip our armies than the Federal legions. It is passing strange that the people at home, arc whipped before the soldiers. They, who have endured all, suffered all. u ‘ hardships, privations, battles &c,at lc«TSt far as this army is concerned, are just a- hopeful of the result as they were the <hy they left their homes and arrayed themselves under the Confederate flag.
