In the letter which I wrote you from New York, on the olst of July, I informed you of my intention to see more closely the po litical men in whose hands are placed the destinies of the United States, and to exam ine, if possible, the positions of the bellig erent armies. I avail myself of the sailing of the steamer to ci.ivey to you my impres sion, and I shall do so with all the sincerity imposed upon me by the most iively faith iu the future of the American nation, and by the desire of seeing it emerge quickly from the crisis in which it is plunged. It was < n the 4th of August that I came here, and halted, not at Washington itself, but fit Georgetown, a small city which is a suburb of the Federal capital. Georgetown is a most delightful situation. The house which I occupy is removed from the noise of the city, and may pass for a villa. It is well shaded and quiet. The surrounding sceuery is rural and peaceful. Magnificent trees — real trees of the New World, remnants of the old forest —project their gigantic shad ows over a meadow of a lively clear green, which fulls in a gentle slope. At about a mile distance, a river of silver appears to How through the foliage; it is the Potomac, an arm of the sea, four times as wide as the llliiuc. On the oppisite shore extend beau tiful wooded hills, which, inclining towards the left, allow the spires and roofs of the little city of Alexandria to be seen iu a dis tant horizon On the plains and slopes beyond the Po tomac are scattered numberless small white spots, and the tops of the great white trees are bathed in a whitish smoke which relieves admirably the rawish tones of the landscape. The spots are the tents of the Northern ar my— f the army of the Union —which protects Washington on the right shore of the Potomac. The white smoke is that of the bivouics of a camp of 20,000 men. I have crossed, at the rate of thirty-six miles the hour, the distance which separates New York from Washington. I have had the spectacle of those great works of Americau industry, which are to ours what the great cities of lJabylou and Ninovah were to our t<wns. I have crossed arms of the sea with :t frightful rapidity on two iron rails sus pended over the abyss. I have arrived at full steam, on the top of immense edifices, the lower stories of which were occupied by people or applied to uses unknown to me; then I have felt the edifice move and have perceived that I was on a steamboat, and that they had run on it the train of ears just as a bale of cotton would be placed iu on ordinary vessel. To vary these Sidendid, but somewhat frightful, spec tacles 1 have had along the route the sight of an army in the field—everywhere tents, wagons, convoys of sick or wounded, dark and soiled uniforms, gloomy and grave faces if soldiers, who with their guns between their legs, and with indifferent and sad ex pressious, watch you as you pass. Balti more gave me somewhat the idea of a be sieged city; as to W ashington, I imagined myself, while tiaversing it, in it town invad ed, overrun, stained bv war at the moment if the passage and sojourn of great armies, or just as two years ago, in Italy, I have seen Alexandria, Brescia and Milan. The peaceful Federal city has appeared to me almost under the aspect of a camp, with streets encumbered with horses, wagons, guns, and resounding with the rattle of j drums, with the houses transformed into j hospitals and barracks, their open windows i exposing scenes of suffering, uncleanlineafl and disorder. Well, as a resting pi ice from til these things, grand, or terrible, or pain ful, not to speak of a dog day heat and a Saharian dust, I find myself suddenly at Georgetown, in the midst of verdure, in the bosom of quiet, trauquil nature, taking from its contact with the most prosaic works of man, only some feature calculated to set oil its poetic beauty. We will speak some other time of pic turesque America. At this moment our j concern is with America political, warlike— I a prey to civil war and most terrible revoln- i tions, neither more nor less than are the old nations of the Old World. 1 will speak to j you to-day of the men of the Government; ! but first, it will be well to recall, in a few words, some facts of cotemp iraueous history. You know that the old American parties, Loyalists, Federalists, Whigs, Democrats, Know-Nothings, after successive dislocations, fusions and transformations, ended by being massed into two great divisions—Democrats and Republicans. It is useless to state that j these names, almost arbitrary, do not at all I corresp >nd in America to the ideas which they would represent iu France. H re the Republicans are completely j Democrats, and the Democrats entirely Re publicans, in the sense we generally attach to these words. Really, the distinction be tween the two parties rests almost exclusive ly on the manner of regarding the slavery question. The Democrats—L speak of North ern Democrats, for in the South the slavery interest dominates and controls all politics —accept slavery, and seek, at most, to con fine it to the States where it exists. Buc hanan and Douglas have btien the last heads of that party to which the interested adhe sion of the South has given, in these latter times, a constant and marked preponderance in the direction of affairs. The Republican party, of later date, without exactly inscrib ing on its banner the principle of the aboli tion of slavery, has a manifest tendency to seek that result. The skillful men of the party are far from acknowledging that pretension, but its adventurous and reckless members (lex en /ante* terrible*) do not make any conceal ment of it. Hence the horror which the Republicans inspire in the South; hence, in fine, the present revolution, the South hav ing quite simply separated from the Union because the nomination of a Republican candidate and tbe advent of that party to power have appeared to it to be the inauguration of a policy of which the last word ia tke abolition of slavery. Perhaps Ukere y#k wrtaide qf Uua, uHtfodiarj question, a shade of difference betweei Democrats and Republicans in their im*d. of understanding the political and social or ganization of the Uni:ed States. The Dem ocrats, no ma ter how far advanced in the ideas which their name recalls, are still at tached to a certain past, to Joffersou, amon others, who, quite hostile, as he was, to the principle of authority, had, ueve.thcless, a fund of ideas in common with the first and most illustrious founders of the republic— Washington, John Adams, Franklin—stater lu.'n who would pass to day for aristocrats of the first order. Thus the Democrats have not driven back, but have rather yield ed to that immense ultra Democratic current. (I should say demagogical, if that expres sion was not often employed in a sense which would not convey my idea,) which, since twenty years, has transformed the physiogo rny of the United States, and altered pro foundly the social conditions of the country. It is that current which has, by degrees, brought the principle of elections to a ridic ulously short term—one year, for example, two years, at most, for the highest offices— those of Governor, Judge, Representatives. It is that current which has opened the doors of election halls to all foreigners, to that crowd of emigrants who, almost every where, enjoy the rights of citizens as soon as their f,>ot has touched the soil of the United States—a tendency menacing to the conservatism of the Anglo-Saxon blood and character. It is that popular wave which has drawn with it the last prestige of Fede ral authority uuder the pretext of preserving State sovereignty, and which has consequent ly weakened authority in the Stites them selves, under the pretext of preserving indi vidual independence, so that in all degrees of the hierarch, public office is considered as the spoils of a small number of men, who dispute about them and share them among themselves, aud so that honest and capable citizens keep aloof through the same senti ment of self-love which would ni tke them seek them in another country. These are the movement# which the political institu tions and social habitudes of the United States have followed —a movement which is! interpreted to the eye of the most superficial observer by a deplorable exaggeration of t carelessness in manners, and by the most complete abandonment of the usages and forms of the world. It is under the admin istration of the Democratic party that this development has been wrought, for it may be said that, since Jefferson, all the Presi- dents—Jackson at their head—have belonged to that party. Then came the Republicans, who have wished to exaggerate that which was already an excess, and to accelerate a movement which had already attained a frightful rapidity. They have just come in to power for the first time with Mr. Lincoln. , Likewise all the men whom party advance ; uient has elevated to the highest offices, are • new men, strangers, for the most, part, to the routine of public business, still greater j strangers to those external forms with which statesmen arc accustomed to surround the exercise of authority. The Democrats had, to a certain extent, 1 among them an uninterrupted tradition, 1 : which, although much weakened, runs back,! however, to some illustrious personages.— The Republicans have come, at tbe first jump, and without any apprenticeship, to the Government, having everything to learn’ jas diplomats,as financiers, as administrators,’ as economists, as men of the world—all that requires practice and study; statesmen; ; are hot improvised. Mr. Abraham Lincoln is the first-born of the Republican party; he was first a school master, afterwards a lawyer, or rather an : attorney, then a deputy for two years, and : was, besides, perfectly obscure and unknown. When, then, the Republican party was reck i oned at the beginning of this year, and it ! became known that by acting unanimously, they might have a majority in the Presiden tial election, the leaders assembled for the great and legitimate operation of dividing , the offices aud funds, in the event of suc- I cess. All went well in regard to what concerned the offices of Secretaries of State, Ministers,! Diplomatic Envoys, Directors, Ac. They agreed easily. But the great question—the reserved question —that of choosing a Pres ident, provoked several storms. Each name put forward raised violent protests. Success was endangered for want of agreement, upon whom to fix the nominal leadership. Then it was that Mr. Seward, I present Minister of Foreign Affairs, who, j as a man of mind and capacity, might have had the greatest claims on behalf of himself, and did raise the liveliest opposition, said to his friends; “You must have, I see plainly,! a man who has no enemies; I have the very; thing—let us take Lincoln.” And in this way it was that Sir Abraham Lincoln has come to seat himself in the chair of Wash-, ington. I have told you what Mr. Lincoln was before his election. Physically, lie is a gi ant; he has a pleasant face, with a look of embarrassment and timidity; a slow walk, and his back arched, like the greater part of those whose height surpasses the propor tions of human stature. Futurity will in form us whether lie has no other merit than that of having no personal enemies, as Mr. Seward said. The latter personage is about fifty years of age, of a small figure; he has a little head on a neck, of wh ; ch the habit of not wearing a cravat, sets off the extreme length.’ His entire person denotes cunning and in-’ teUigence, and also a little conceit. Like the greater part of the Americans of this school, he speaks English exclusively; he 1 has traveled in Europe, anti possesses some sterling qualities. Ho is, next to the Prcsi- : dent, the most important min in the civil administration of the United States. I have been present at sessions of the Senate and House of Representatives. I have hail pointed out to me the most influen tial members of both parties. Mr. Breck-i inridge is the Kentucky Senator, leader of the opposition, whose opinion and wishes are almost equally divided between the North and South, like the jieople of tbe State be represents. Mr. Sumner, Massichusetts 8 n ator, acknowledged 1< ador of the Abolition ists, an educated, amiable man, having trav eled much in France, the friend of l>e Tocqueville, and very well versed in our lit erature. Contrary to what has b>en so often writ-! ten about the tumultuous appearance of the ! Chambers, the dress and eccentric habits of the honorable members, I found in the Sen lato and 11 use of Representatives an aspect very usual and decent. Without the fashion yf the jpreuJt uuaabe? of white ushith^ woru by a number of \\ estern members, de geuerate, by their extraordinary cut, into a species of garment ol tbe middle ages, we might fancy ourselves in one of our French political assemblies. I have seen no one with feet on his desk, not the least bit of re volver, and I have looked in vain for those little blocks of white wood, the cutting of which with a penknife, forms one of tbe fa vorite diversions of the statesman, the judge or the American attorney, iu the exercise of his duties. Doubtless, in the United States, some de tails of secondary movement shock out Euro pean ideas and habits; but I do not wish to dwell on these details without real impor tance, which should not blind us as to wliat is good and great in this country. I declare to you, that arrived in America with prepos sessions extremely favorable to the United States, the reality has proved to be far be yond those prepossessions, at sight of cyclopian cities and those miguificent work shops, proportioned to a condition of things where everything has dimensions unknown to the Old World. I have found in the United States that which despites my inclination to admire eve rything, l did not expect to meet with, on the word of even the most favorable dispos and traverlers, and that is perfect honesty, order, eagerness to be of service, if not urbanity, life comfortable, easy and regular; iu fine, an habitual intercontact by all classes of so ciety which neither soils, wounds nor chills any one. I will add that I have been struck and touched by the ardor, in some sort chivalrous, with which tbe people of the North, contrary to their most immediate and most imperious material interests, have thrown themselves into a war in which they have but one end —that of vindicating the honor of the Hag of the common country, which they believe to have been outraged by the South. This is what I have seen and what I am very hap py tn say and to repeat. But T must also be permitted to give, with the same sincerity, the impression which the very (I need not say) superficial coutaet with the political men of the Union assembled at Washington h is made on me. I have found them on every step of the ladder which they could successively reach, a jealous and unbridled Democracy, inquest of men sufficiently mediocre to inspire neith er envy, hatred, esteem nor love ; everything which wounds the sentiment of equality, once that it has passed the bounds of reason and common sense. For a long time, in the United States, p olitical careers and public offices have ceased to be a vocation in order to become a trade, and one of the trades least esteemed in a country where, according to the expression of DcToequeville, all honest professions are honorable professions. Ministerial portfolios, seats of judges, senators and deputies, the very presidental chair, belongs to a limited class of citizens, who use them, so to speak, like a monopoly. I think that, in consequence of the estrange ment which puhlic, even municipal duties, inspire men of weight and capability’, the re public of the United States is found to pos sess a governmental personnel far belo w the real worth of the nation. It is plain to eve rv one that there is there an extreme term which cannot, possibly be passed, and that, the evil by it own excess, carries with it its remedy. T do not doubt, that tbe present, crisis, which exposes the wounds of government, its importance, its incapacity, and its thorough unpopularity, will be tbe beeinning of a sal utary and regenerative re-action. Tdo not pretend to predict the new political form un der which America will pursue the career of her destines ; but this people has a vitality too great, a practical sense top powerful, re sources too vast, for us to fear that she will not profit, tviselv from tbe experience of tbe past ; and that, like the extinct, races, she will not be immovable in errors, her nor, to avoid them, throw herself into the opposite extreme. Tbe crisis will pass ; the elements of ‘vi tality which America bears within her will give her strength to surmount it. Soon von will see this country greater, more full of future, than ever. T end here for to-day this letter, already quite long, and promise to send you the re mainder of it by the next mail. Capture of the Fanny. A correspondent of the Augusta Chroni cle gives the subjoined account, dated Oct. 4, at Elizabeth City, N. 0.: And first of all: on yesterday, 40 prison ers from Hat eras were placed on a barge in front of the camp, who, the night before, bad been taken by an expedition comman ded by Colonel Wright, and composed of tbe Dawson Grays, Athens Guards and Wilkin son Rifles. The command were on board the steamers Raleigh, Curlew and Junalus ka, a part of Com. Lynch’s squadron.— These steamers were armed with cannon. — On Tuesday last, at 2* p. in., the whistles sounded, and off the little army went—Com modore Lynch commanding all the steamers. In two hours and a half the deep mouth ed dogs of war let loose, told us in the camp the work was going on. Presently, quicker and quicker aDd soon several together, and then at regular intervals ; and thus it was, until the white flag went up on board the steamer Fauuy, a part of the U. S. N. off Hatteras, and she was ours. , She made all the resistance she could, but was taken. Armed with two pieces (one a rifle cannon) and those 40 men (one a con traband of war in uniform), she was carry ing immense army stores in the 14th Indi ana Regiment, then establishing a camp 1 about 20 miles from ours. Yesterday the captured Fanny was unload ed anl before now has, in all probability, June us good service. For as we came away the cannon, at l\ M., when wc were 15 miles off, apprised us that the fleet and ar my were again in motion. The Fanny’s cargo is very valuable, prob ably worth $76,000 or 880,000. One item is 1,000 army overcoats. The prisoners are detachments from vari ous companies at Hatteras. and were com manded hy Captain Hart, of the 14;h Indi ana regiment. Twelve of them are from the New York oth regiment, and were acting as ! artillery-man. They are safe, in good hands, and treated as prisoners of war. Lieut. Harris, of the Home Guards, had them in charge when we left, and aU bands on the barge were desmtus to find R the co,pi forts its open afforded* VOLUME XXXIX—NO 30. 1 Timely Article—Where do tiie good* come from ? The following timely and j o nted article W3 ake from the Richmond Examiner. It is stiauge indeed that certain articles disap pear, and are straightway supplied, aud it is equally strange that a few men generally have the articles ueeded, and charge any price fur them they can squeeze oat of the customer. Where do they get their good* from? We agree with the Examiner that the subject ought to be brought before the public for action : There is little doubt that the business of smuggling is going on at this time on as large a scale as we ever known before in the ■history of the world. Nobody meets with my difficulty in finding any article of goods provisions that he desires. Whatever the article may be, it can be had ; but it can only be had at a tremendously high price.— It is not that the supply of merchandise is limited, tor like the oil in the widow's cruise, it does not diminish in the hands of the few provident dealers by the drafts made upon it: but it is, that those who are fortunate ■Dough to posses unfailing stocks, have a monopoly ot the trade, and can exact what prices they chose to put upon their goods. It is given out that, as to those brought into Richmond. Maryland is the source from which these constant supplies of goods and merchandise are procured. It is said that they are brought into Virginia by small schooners plying from Baltimore, which know how to run up into the creeks of the Potomac and the Bay. Bvi this as it may, certain it is that the goods do come in large quantities into Virginia, and that the trade is in tue bauds of a few enough men and firms to enable them to command what pri ces they may choose to fix upon their prop erty. No matter what may he the channel through which these goods are brought iut > the South, it is quite certain that they are procured from the North. They are brought in in defiance of our revenue laws, and they are paid tor in defiance of our sequestration act. The business is fraudulent from he ginning to eud ; and the high prices exacted by the smugglers of the goods operate as a slave to the consciences of smugglers. But this is not the only form in which a large class of the community are manifes ting a disposition to speculate upou the con dition of the country. r l here is a general tendency among all classes of dealers, in all classes of articles, to demand exorbitant pri ces for their commodities. And this tenden cy is not confined to the dealers in those ar ticles that are not produced in the South, and would naturally become scarce during the suspension of external trade. It is the case as to every article that is bought aud sold, except those produced by the farmer and the husbandman. lie aloue, of all the people who have commodities to sell, is for ced to take half prices for his farm produce, while he is compelled to pay double prices for the supplies for which he goes into mar ket. It is a very curious phenomenon that a farmer may hud any article of trade which ho can possibly desire in the market, from a hogshead of sugar to an ounce of quinine, from a camel’s hair shawl to a paper of pins, aud can command it by paying double pri ces ; but the moment he offers his own farm products for sale, at ouce he must drop his prices to half rates, and listen to ingenious arguments to convince him that he may thank his stars that he can get even them. This disposition to speculate upou the yeo manry of the country on both sides of the account book is the most mortifying feature :>t the war. It is a species of Yankee trick that ill assort with the nobles cause in which the country is engaged. The “army worm” never appeared iu the country in such for midable array, with so ferocious an appetite, or so destructive a voracity, as it has appear ed iu the South within the last mouth or two. \V idle the speculators are devouring the substance of the people, and defrauding the Government of its revenues, the Govern ment itself is unwittingly aiding and abet ting them in their voracious work. The ex cuse alleged for the high prices of sugar, salt, molasses, meat, fuel, and all kinds of provis ions, is, that the Government has taken pos session of the railroads to do its own trans portation, aud that the transportation of the public is at a stand still. Hundreds of car loads of sugar aud salt and merchandise ot many descriptions are said to be lying in the depots of the West, unable to make their wjty to Eastern markets, by reason of the action of the Government. There is doubtless some truth in the nu merous allegiatious on this subject; but it is simply incredible to suppose that the railroads could not bring down these articles, if they used the proper energy, in sufficient quantities to meet the current demands of the community. The fat t that what ever articles a person may want can be readily found, and can be procured by paying the enormous prices demanded, proves that they exist in sufficient quantity in market for the wants of the community, and are made to command the elevated prices at which they are sold by combinations of speculators.— We will uot fay that the body of speculators is largeaud powerful enough to influence the policy of the railroads and to obstruct their freight operations, for we do not know the facts, and could not designate the names of the conspirators or the railroads; but we do state the uudeuiable fact that the public firm ly believe that such combinations and con spiracies exist. Whatever obstruction the Government oc casions in the freight operations of the rail roads is hut temporary, and will be removed wheu the necessity for it ceases. We have no doubt that Government has laid its hand luite heavily upon the roads running from this city to >lauassa c . aud that a peofle dependent upon these loads for supplies have suffered greviously from the necessity Government was under to monopolize ti e trains ; but this fact does not hold in rega.d to the roads running Southward in connec tion with the Southern markets ; aud it is these latter roads against which the public feeling is more particularly directed. There have been various convocations and Oonventions held in the South, since the war, with reference to currency, Government loans and other mutters of public moment. It seems to us that the prevailing high pri ces, the unconscionable speculations goiog on in the necessaries of life, the deficient ti a importation of the railroads and the Waobsaje smuggling that is rife also ass id mat.. we ig fitly enough fur tfwt delibgw* <4 * CN&ygitoa* 4 the
