FANATICISM at the NORTH. IJ^i£KZE! , - , ““““**“ 4
Camps, Near Richmond, f
October, 18th, lb0‘2. i
Fanaticism, in all ages, has ever been most
rampant during a revolution. Jt is then the
masses, like individuals, lose sight of reason,
and plunge deeply into lolly. Blinded by zeal,
and deluded by a false appearance of success
which sweeps everything before it, they hurry
headlong to utter ruin, to sure destruction.
They listen not to the promptings of reason,
and in the blindness of devotion is smothered
the voice of conscience. Their bigotry is devo
tional, even to the degree of martyrdom, and
self sacrifice, a constitutional element of all their
passionate zeal. Truly Republican in princi
ple, they portray, in all their actions, the mon
archical character of the vilest of despots. They
will listen to no compromise, but a blind, un
conditional adherence to their principles, is the
cardinal base from which all their actions
spring. They hurry on in their madness from
extravagance to folly, and from folly to de
struction. *
To such a state of affairs our unhappy
“brethren” of the North seem rapidly drifting.
The tjood of fanaticism, which seems destined
to overwhelm them, has been accumulating (or
upwards ol thirty years. Slowly, hut surely,
the portending cloud, fraught with elenn nts,
destined to rain torrents of blood upon the
many lair fields <f ,he wide Republic, rose in
the hoi rid hlackncns of midnight. No one
doubted its coming; it was too clearly recog
nized in the distance. The terror of its com
ing surp. ised many, but none so utterly as
those wlii> agitated the elements that wafted it
hither. Horrified at the evil they had created,
they stood aghast, irresolute through despair.
Hopeless of dispelling the ominous disaster
they had summoned, they \ielded submissive
obedience us the only policy remaining; and
in the blindness ot their devotion rose a liuialic
zeal, win Mi a-toriished even themselves. They
were joined to their idol, and a spirit arose
unong them, which said, “let us nlone.” In
the madness ol their zeal they continue to per
sist ; and the crowning act of all thei* - folly,
viz: sell dest. uetion, is staring them ill the
face.
Near Camp Breckinridge, Ky.,)
Saturday, Oct. 11, 1862. )
I am now writing you from Gen. McCown’s
camp, which is one mile from Camp Breckin-
ridge, (formerly Camp Dick Robinson) seven
miles northeast of Danville, in Garrard county,
on the Danville and Lezington Pike, and thirty
miles from Lexington. It was near 6 o’clock
when I closed my last letter on the evening of
the 8th instant. At that time I was writing
in a brick schoolhouse, (which I alluded to in
my last; on the east ridge of the valley front
ing Perryville, and about five hundred yards
from the town. It was evident that the con
test had been a most bloody one, but we had
steadily driven the enemy back on our right
and centre, and prevented a tlank movement on
our left. About this time cheering was heard
from the centre, and it was supposed that we
were completely routing the enemy. Soon af
ter, however, the enemy opened a battery from
their centre line, and commenced throwing
shell on the school house ridge, where a large
number of citizens were assembled to witness
the battle, and where also were a number of
wagons, ambulances, Ac. The shell fell thick
and fast, and a general stampede took place
among the citizen horsemen and teams, on the
road leading to Danville, as soon as the first
one exploded by the side of the school house.
Considering the position rather a warm one,
your correspondent concluded to retire also,
but not before Oapt. Semple’s Battery got in
position, and which soon silenced the enemy.
My horse was unsaddled at the time, under a
shed adjoining the side ot the school house,
where the shell came whirling and whizzing
through the air, striking very near; and you
may imagine now uncomfortably vexatious 1
felt in attempting to bridle my horse, when the
poor animal, who was much frightened, refused
to take the hit in his mouth, thus detaining me
and himself in a very unpleasant position. I
succeeded at last in getting on his gear, and had
hardly turned into the road, when as tot struck
within five feet of me. I went on for a mile
and a half, and stopped for the night at the
house ol a Mr. Durham, who furnished me, for
seces-ion money, good hoard and lodging.
The forces opposed to us at Perryville con
sisted of the right wing of the “army of the
Ohio,” composed of Buell’s veteran army, with
Major General Geo. W. Thomas as Command
er in Chief of the field, (Buell being in com
mand ol the Department of the Ohio at Louis
ville,) and Gen. Alex McCook commanding the
is coming to the radical abolitionists of the
North. They have agitated the question of
slavery until the ^ils they sought.to entail
eted out to tlicui-
kp mancipation, so
, developed in the
it august Kxet
Certainly, it appears that a day of retribu- first corps. We fought three divisions of 16,000
men against nine divisions of the abolition
army, composed at least of 46,000 men. Gens.
Rousseau, J. S. Jackson and Sill were among
the division commanders. Our forces consist
ed of Brig. Gen. Patton Anderson’s division
composed of Col. Powell’s brigade of the 24th
Minsist.ippi, 1st Arkansas, 45th Alabama, ‘29th
Tennessee ami Barrett’s baiteiy; Gen. Adam’s
brigade of the 18th, 16th, 20tli, 25th Louisiana,
and SloCOUib’s battery ot Washington Artille
ry, who took position on our left; Col. Jones’
brigade of the 26th, 3Uth, 37th Mississippi, and
if his Lamsden's battery; and Gen. Brown’s brigade
pation seems ot the 1st and 8d Florida, 41st Mississippi and
h iiiin, jand if not, Palmer s batiery formed our center. General
Buckner’s division, which was posted on our
extreme right, with Anderson’s division, formed
the “lelt v» ing on the army of the Mississippi,”
under Major Gen. Hardee. Cheatham’s and
Withers’ divisions formed the “right wing of
the army of the Mississippi,” under Maj. Gen.
Polk; Withers’ division was absent, being
with Maj. Gen. Kirby Smith—thus we had but
three divisions in the field. Before the battle

is a powerful weapon to use against the weak,
while hope and flattery lend a brightness and
a keniess to the blade, which will work a way
to the heart. “Hope deferred maketh the soul
sick ;" ami the lai- e prospect of sudden joy en
tails disaster. So procrastination sickened
the Northern mind even to madness, and the
sudden realisation ot their darling hope is
overwhelming them almost to despair.
If an illustration of the direful effects of par
ty -puii and fanaticism is wanting, the world's
history is open to us. From it we may read
lessons of profit. Who can say that the threat
ening revolution at the North may not equal
in fury the fanatic zeal which swept over the
Netherlands, during its struggle for independ
ence ? The Iconoclasts, polluting the temples
of worship, and destroying the goods of the
church, but illustrate the passionate ebullition
of phrensy, that may follow from the religious
finalicism ol the North, (if all lanatic.sm,
that which partakes ot a religious character, is
the most disastrous. And may not the per
secutions of Spain, with her horrible dungeons
and terrible tribunals ofthe autode-Je, tore-
shad >w the coming evils arising from the re
ligious fanatic zeal of the North V May not the
church of God be turned into an instrument ot
hell, and unutfending men and women bunted
down with the same unholy zeal, the same
maddening phrensy, that Proiestant Europe
received at the h.yuds of Catholicism? Truly
there is a lesaoti of truth aud terror to be read
in the pages ol history, which we cannot pass
unheeded with impunity. The lessons of the
past are voices of warning ta the present and
the future.
The North is approaching that slate in her
political histoiy, which may hurry her into a
revolution more dreadful, more horrible and
more disastrous than that which prostrated
France. The fierce contentions of the Jacobins
and Girondists will grow pale before the awful
struggles of a hundred factions striving for
power. The uiixtuie of her population will
serve to increase the hatred of the many con
tending parties. Then a perfect “reign of ter
ror," with the legitimate crusade against all
law, virtue ard -vligion, utterly prostrating
the last energies of a dying people, will only
suffice to purge the nation lor regeneration.
Once divided, who can tell the ixleni ot the
evils that may follow? Destruction will then
rush with “glad precipitance" to the relief ol
ruined hope. “One swallow doesn’t make a
summer;” hut many summers will bring many
swallows. Rebtukk.
GEN. SCOTT’S LETTER.
The letter of Gen. Scott to Mr. Sew ard, pub
lished in this paper of Kriday, will go far to
redeem the reputation ol the old soldier for mil
itary wisdom and judgment, and to place his
character in a more amiable light than it has
recently occupied. This letter, written March
8, 1861, is, in its sagacity andgenerel tone, far
above anything that we ever conceived Gen.
Scott to be capable of, and proves him to have
been, at the tin*3 of its writing, both a sUtes
man and a soldier. lie seems to have been the
only man in the United Slates who at all ap
preciated the magnitude ot the enterprise
which Mr. Lincoln has since undertaken in en
deavoring to subjugate the Southern States,
and yet that even he underestimated its diffi
culties, is shown from the lact that, large as
the amount of treasure and forcu which in
hia^kion, was necessary for Southern sabju-.
gatiW; that amount lias been already quad
rupled, and the United States is as far from its
objects as ever ! The conciliatory spirit of the
letter, which not only recommends compromise
ami forbearance, but goes so far as to suggest
as one of the mean# of meeting the exigencies of
the times—“Say to the seceded States wayward
sisters depart in peace,” exalts General Scott
from the abyss into which he has been dragged
by Seward, and makes us regaet the more that
he had t.ot the moral courage to be guided hy
the clearness ot his perceptions and the die
tales ol his consciene.
With such a letter ns this belore the Lincoln
Administration, what will their own people
think of the madness of their Government in
precipitating a war upon the country the end
of which no man could or can see ? What of
Mr. Seward’s repeated predictions that the war
would end in thirty or sixty days, when he had
before him the declaration of the moat experi
enced military man in the United Slates that
•ven under the best military guidance a war of
invasion would be a war of year*, attended by
frightful destruction of life and property, and
ending, if successful, in the destruction of a free
lorui of Government.—hick. Dupactk.

of the country around Oiunp’Breckinridge, near

rear by the Manchester Pike. In that case we

Another Balt Lake and another Sea Ser
pent.
Our fellow townsman, Dow Huntsman, who
has lieen out on the American Des rt, between
the Carson and Humboldt rivers, looking up
cattle, has furnished us with a few items in re
gard to a new salt lake on the aforesaid desert
that bids fair to eclipse that one possessed by
our Mormon brethren farther east On the
American desert, about sixty miles from this
city, and some four miles from Carson river,
and about one mile from the old emigrant road
crossing the desert, there is a small lake of ex
tremely salt water, said to be almost, if not
quite, a third saltier than the water of thefa-
inous Salt Lake in Mormondoin. Persons who
have visited both places pronounce it so. Thun;
lake is a basin of the desert, and the surface cl, j
it is probably 200 feet lower than the surface
of the desert
There appears to have been natural banks to
it higher than the desert, and the drifting of
the sand has made it still higher. The lake is
some three miles in circumlerence, andlias been
sounded to the depth of some fifteen hundred
feet without finding bottom. The persons who
sounded it had only fifteen hundred feet of line,
and therefore were unable to go further and asj
certain its true depth. There is no vegetation
surrounding the lake, except a few bushes and
willows that grow near several springs adjacent
und flowing into it One of these is a fine
spring ot sulphur water, and the others are
said to be cool and excellent fresh water. At
present there is a road running by the lake,
and many of the emigrants slop there to avail
themselves of the pure fresh water to be obs
lamed from the springs.
If this lake has not some subterraneous com
munication with the ocean, there is a chance
tor some scientific gentleman to display his tal
ents, by giving us a satisfactory reason why it
has a tide that ebbs and flows. We are posi
tively assured that during twenty four hours
the water in it rises am. fal s two feet. If what
we have beard is correct, some of the enter
prising scientific men of tiie Pacific coast had
better visit that iocality and give us some trusty
information in reference to the lake. But the
most remarkable story is yet to be told. They
have a sea serpent there which is hard to
eclipse. A few days ago some men tmeamped
on the banks, near one of the springs, bad
slaughtered a sheep and lelt it lying on the
bank.
During the time they were there, the inon
ster serpent made his appearance, attracted,
doubtless by the dead sheep. He did not
emerge entirely from the water, but came out
commenced, Gen. Chealatn, who bad been in | where it was very shallow, and was then
position oil our extreme left, was ordered to freightened off at the appearance of the men who
our rear, between Perryville and Harrodsburg. are supposed to have been as badly frightened
Gen. Bragg having anticipated that the great
est force of the enemy was pressing on our
right to cut us off from connection with Har
rodsburg. The reverse, unfortunately proved
the case, as the greatest torce of the enemy
w as on our left. As 1 have stated, the lion
hearted Liddell opened the fight on our right,
the supposition being that we were fighting the
i ighi w ing only oi Buell’s army. Gen’s. Jones
und Brow n, on the center, acted with General
Liddell, and Gen. Brown being wounded early
in the action, the command of his brigade, the
first, devolved on Uol. W. Miller, ol the 1st
Florida regiment, who fought most gallantly,
being the last to leave the ground on the next
morning towards 2 o’clock.
The engagement on our left did not com
mence until about noon, and then it was only
skirmishing for a considerable time, Col. Pow
ell’s brigade holding the extreme left of our
liDes, and galla illy driving the enemy back for
about a mile, against superior forces. It was
about this tune, towards 4 P. M., when Gen.
Smith’s brigade, belonging to Cheatham’s di
vision, was ordered back to our assistance, that
Gen. Adams, with his brave Louisianians, was
holding the enemy in check against fearful
odds, »lien he was forced to la.ll back from his
position. Gen. llardee, seeing the importance
of holding the point, ordered Gen. Adams tore-
take it, telling him he would be supported by
raintorcemeats. It was while advancing again,
and anxiously looking lor the reinforcements
that Gen. Adams, seeing that the gallant young
Major Austin (commanding a battalion of Sharp
Shooters,') was picking off, behind a stone
ience, whnl Adams supposed to be our own
men, ordeTcd him to cease firing. “I tell you,
sir, they are Yiuik* es,” cried the excited Aus
tin. “1 think not, and you bad belter go for
ward first, and ascertain," replied Adams. “I’ll
go, sir, but I don’t think it necessary, for I
know they are Yankees,” insisted Austin.—
“Well,” said Adams, “I’ll go myself," and dash
ing forward on hns charger, be had not pro
ceed one hundred yards when a furious storm
of mime balls whizzed by his ears fiom the
enemy, who were shooting from a rest at him
from behind the stone wall. The General turn
ed immediately, and riding up, cried out,
“You’re right, Major*-fAcy arc Yankees, and
you may give them goss.” Austin then pour
od in a deadly tire, the Washington Artillery,
Slocotub’s battery also, doing terrible execu
tion,driving the enemy bark with fearful slaugh
ter. Towards six o’clock, as 1 have said, the
firing became incesiant on both sides. There
stood Adams, with his little brigade, holding
back a division of the enemy, lelt, as it were
alone to bis late, until, seeing no chance of be
ing reinforced, he g; . .ur.l'y tell oau-, .a most
excellent order, buz uol without considerable
loss.
It was at this Lime the chcetiag was beard
on the pai l of the en» my, iu the centre, and
which was returned by our troops, which led
us to believe that the enemy was being routed,
when they opened a battery and shelled us
from the School house ridge. Soon after this,
night came on and closed the scene of strife,
our troops sleeping on and remaining victors
of the battle field, besides captur.ng over 500
prisoners. Our loss is estimated at between
two and three thousand killed and wounded.
The enemy's loss, at a low estimate, is between
five and six thousand. Among the killed is
Major Gen. J. S. Jackson; Brig. Gens. Ratcliff
and Terrill wounded. We took eleven pieces
of the enemy’s cannon, destroyed four, and
brought seven off the field. It was another bat
tle ot Shiloh, without any decisive results.—
Ilad we have had five thousand more men, or
had Withers been with us, we would have com-
pletcly routed and annihilated the enemy,
leaving us the way clear to Louisville. No
troop- in the world ever fought with such des
perate courage as ours. Whole regiments of
our men went into that fight barfaooted, fou ht
barefooted, and had inarced barefoot. <1 from
Chattanooga! The First Tennessee, Colonel
Field, formerly Gen. Money's Old regiment,
went into the fight with 380 men, and lost all
but 9o! Lieut. CoL Patterson was killed, and

On the same day Gen. Kirby Smith whipped
lien. Tom Crittenden’s forces between Law-
rencehurg and Salvisa, Gan. Withers with Gen.
Morgan capturing 740 prisoners and an am
munition tram ol wagons. On the next morn
ing, the 9th, our infantry fell back from Per
ryville towards llarrodahurg, and our cavalry
on (he Danville Pike. At 12 noon the enemy
hoisted a white flag over the town, and sent a
flag of truce asking a cessation of hostilities to
bury iheir dead, which was granted. Gen.
McCown was ordered to Camp Breckinridge to
command the forces there, and returning to
Danville I stopped in one ot the churches, now
a hospital, to see if I could recognize any old
friend. I jiujMi- isr of glorious angels ad

length, but assert that they saw as much as 6o
feet ot h.ra, aud believe Unit he was, from ap
pearances, at least let) feet in length, and larger
around the body than any medium sized man.
The Indians in that vicinity corroborate the
story of the large serpent, and assert he has
frequently heightened them away from the
lake.
The ducks and geese visit llie lake and lay
their eggs in parts of it, where they can make
nests in the rushes. The Indians have been in
the habit of building small boats for the tules
and going and getting the eggs. While thus
engaged they say the serpent has several times
made his appearance and driven them off. Ef
forts will be made to capture the old fellow,
and if they prove successful we shall have an
opportunity to give a better .account of him.
There is a strong probability of extensive coal
fields being discovered in the vicinity ofthe
lake. Several small veins have already been
found.— Carson (Netarla) J fatly Silver Aye.
GOT. TROUP—CONSCRIPTION.
It is generally admitted that Governor Ttoup
was an orthodox constructionist. He was jeal
ous of the grants of power, and bis practical as
gertion and maintainance of State Rights in
1825-6, when the successfully opposed Presi
dent Adams and bis Cabinet in regard to the
Old and the New Treaties, gave him the very
highest position, and has since rendered his
name good authority. His uniform teaching
acd example had a consistency which was un
impeachable to the day of his death.
We have thus introduced the subject to pre
pare our readers for an extract from the speech
of Gov. Troup, delivered in Congress, in 1814,
on the bill “authorising the President to call in
to service 80,450 militia, to serve two years, for
the defence of the frontiers.” In the course of
his remarks, he said :
“I do not mean to say, sir, that the recruiting
system, with the present high bounty and en
couragement, would not eventually fill our
ranks; I am not disposed to say that it would
not (provided the power of the enemy had con
tinued broken and divided by the troubles of
the continent,) have answered our purpose; but
I do say, that under existing circumstances and
for our present purpose, the recruiting system
ought not to be relied on; it cannot be relied
on to fill our ranks by the opening of the next
campaign, and to risk the loss of tbe next cam
paign is to risk tbe loss of everything. Rut is
there no mode to which you can resort for till
ing the ranks but voluntary enlistment? 1
would be extremely sorry if we could not. I
have always thought this Government, when
a Iministered in the true spirit of tbe Constitu
tion, the strongest government in the world,
even for the purposes of war; but if the doc
trine set up of late be true, this is the weakest
and most contemptible government on earth ; it
is neither lit for war nor peace; it has failed of
all the ends for which governments are estab
lished. It cannot be true that this Government,
charged with the general defence, authorized to
declare war and to raise armies, can have but
one mode of raising armies, whilst every other
government that has ever existed has had an
absolute (lower over tbe population of the coun
try for this purpose, aod has actually exercised
it But this question is not properly before the
House, and I will not go into an argument to
show that you can, like other governmeifts,-re
sort to other modes of raising armies than that
of voluntary enlistment; that you can resort to
classification and draft, to classification and
penalty, or any other mode which a sound dis
cretion may in a particular state of the country
dicta'-e and justify. All I intend to say at pres
ent is, tha. you have an-absolute power over
the population of this country for thi* purpose,
and that in the present state of the country it is
wiser to resort to classification and draft, than
to resort to tbe bill from the Senate ; the one
will give the men certainly and expeditiously,
the other will not.”—MilUdyevUU Recorder.
Brown eh zoa Giving a Conkxdzrate Prisoszr
a Fiscs or Tobacco.—A well known gentleman,
who ran tbe “blockade” from Baltimore, and ar.
rived here yesterday, informs us that a few dayi
before he leit, while a number of paroled Confed
erate prisoners were embarking on the steamer
for conveyance to Fortress Monroe, a man named
Dennis E. Driscol, stepped from tho crowd and
banded one of the prisoners a piece of tobacco.—
Tbe exhibition of this small piece of kindness so
exasperated a rowdy gang of Yankee sympathizers,
that they seized Drincol and threw him into the
dock. A small boy in a boat attempted to rescue
him, hut the wretches drew their pistols and warn
ed him off, and Driacol sank, and was drowned.—

The Two Proclamations-A Bold Bpeach
at the North.
A bold speech has been made in New York
by Hon. James Brooks against tbe two procla
mations of Lincoln. It is published in the
Weekly C*ucasizn, the only paper that seems
to have had the courage to report, and, is copied
into Brook’s own paper, tbe Express. The
speaker commenced by referring to the lact
that in this “hitherto proud land of liberty,”
he felt as if what he was about to say made
him a candidate for the bastile. He contended
that the “Constitution” is now the supreme
law of the land, above the President and the
Cabinet, and the only source from which they
could derive their power.
MAN ALLEGIANCE A TORY POWER.
These are constitutional facts; this is the
written law of the United States; this is the
embodied government of the United States, and
the only Government to which I, or you, or
any Democrat, or any Whig, have ever sworn
allegiance. |Great cheermg.J This Beecher
idea of government is twelve or fifteen hund
red years old, a product ofthe feudal ages, the
darkest ages of Europe. Braxton, the lawyer,
enunciated it in Latin: "hex esl vicarious et
Minister Dei in Terra omrtisquidem sub eb est,
et ipse sub nullo, nisi tantumsub Deo." The
kingly idea of government, in one man, or un
der one authority, with certain Divine rights,
irresponsible to man on earth and scarcely re
sponsible to God in Heaven, is the Tory idea of
Government; the despotic, monarchical idea,
never before, till in this crisis, this new era, in
troduced and forced upoi the unhappy people
of these United States of America. [“Good,”
and applause.] The President himself is but
the mere creature of th» Constitution of the
United States. lie never was elected by the
popular will of the popijar voice of the people
ot the Uiflted States. [ 4 No, never,” and great
applause.] No, never, nfar, never! [A num
ber of voices, “Never.”] 1
MR. LINCOLN NOT I'RESIDENT BY THE POPULAR
vo£e.
Of the four millions end two-thirds of a mil
lion of votes cast at tin last Presidential elec
tion, Mr. Lincoln was fi the minority of nearly
a million, among the people ; [applau e;J and
though in California and Oregon, under the
plurality system, he f-eceived their electoral
votes, in New Jerseyt glorious New Jersey,
[cheers lor New Jersef,] he did not receive the
vote popular or the vote electoral. Thus, in
these three Northern States of the Union, a
majority of the peoplt were against him. while
from the Susquehama to the Rio Grande, in
fifteen other States, l^ot a popular, nor an elec
toral vote was given him.
MR. LINCOLN ONLY PKtSIDENT A8 CREATURE OP THE
COISTITUTION.
Nevertheless, under our constitutional sys
tem in the Electorial Colleges, of the 303 electo
ral votes there, thoi^h in a pupular minority of
nearly a million of votes, he did receive 180
electorial votes, 28 more votes than were neces
sary to elect him the President of the United
States under the Constitution. I repeat, then,
the President does not represent, and never has
lepresented the popular will of die people of the
United States. (A voice—“And never will.’]
He is the mere creature lof the Constitu
tion of the United Stales, and ou.~ obedience to
him as Executive, our fidelity to him as the Ex
ecutive is through and under the Constitution
alone. [“That is all,” and cheers.] Hence when
these declaimers tell me that the President is
the Government, and his Cabinet at e the Gov
ernment, I show them the popular vote, and 1
repeat to them that the President himself could
not be President but as he waselocted and up
held by the Constitution oi the U oited States,
and in defiance ot the popular voice of the Uni
ted States. [Applause.) Tell me no then, that
I may not, and shall not, discuss the measures
of an Administration, or, that this Administra
tion is the Government, and that in criticising
the Administration I am guilty ol treason to the
Government. Government is a thing eternal,
and springs from God as well as born of the in
stinct of man; but Mr. Lincoln is but a crea
ture of tbe Constitution lor lour years o: lly.and
the Cabinet are out creatures of Lincoln. And
yet the reverend Brooklyn expositor t ells us
that the President and the Cabinet are tl le Gov
ernment of the United States. [A voice - “They
are pretty nearly played out.”J 1 shall, there
fore, as I have a right, discuss freely all the
measures of the Administration.
THi: TWO PROCLAMATIONS—TIIE PROVOST MAR
SHAL WAR ORDERS.
There have recently appeared from ithe Ad
ministration of this Government three docu
ments ofthe greatest impoimace, win cl i it may
be dangerous lreely to discuss, but v.’hich it is
not the less our right and duty freel y to dis
cuss. These ave the first proclamation, the
second proclamation, and the last, bu t not least,
the war order from the War I)i spartment,
abolishing, to a considerable extent., the civil
jurisdiction of the Courts, and establishin
lieu tboreof a system of Provost Marshals
throughout the whole of the United States of
America.
The first proclamation of tho President has
in it three elements, three points, worthy of
consideration. Tk e first is emancipat ion. the
second is a propos ,tion for the compcns ation of
slaves, and ihc thi rd is a colonization of these
slaves. I propose as briefly as possible to ex
amine these points in order. Tbe first thing
which strikes a in. an is, to ask, where is the
grant of power in t he Constitution of the U. S.
which gives the Pi esident, but the creature of
the Constitution, authority to annul whole
States ofthe Union , or the laws and institutions
of whole States in t hat Union, and to override
all laws for the pro lection of loyal men, even if
in disloyal States. No man can rise und say
that there is, anywhere, in our written Consti
tution, any such au thority for the Pre sident of
the U. S. to exercise any such power »,s he as
sumes or usurps in his proclamatio u. The
only authority claimed is, that he, itsCom-
uander-in-Chief of the army—of the army not
in the field—-JUxgrante hello, but as theoreti
cal Commander-in-Chiefof the army, sitting in
the Whjte.Hou.se at Washington, has tl le power
to exercise any a uthority which appeal's to him
best, or which he deems right. Now, ii this he
law, there is no security that he may not exer
cise tke same pov rer, if he deems it bes t for the
people of the Unit ed States, to annul the rela
tion of parent andi child, of ward and guardian,
of debter and cre< litor, of mortgager and mort
gagee—aye, all t he rights and obligations of
society—for he has. the same right as Cominan-
der-in-Chief to e tercise all powers over the
Northern States o f the Union. [“Hear, hear,”
and cheers. J
THE LAWS OF WAR.
Who created tl lis creature of the Constitu
tion, the otfsprin g of a popular minority ?—
who vested and appointed him wiih this arbi
trary power ovi it thirty millions ot human
beings ?—[great cheering,]—a power, the like
of which, if exer rised in England, without an
act of Parliame it, would create a revolution
there in forty-ei| ;ht hours, among all classes of
people; a powei • which Napoleon never dared
to exercise upon hia imperial throne, apd one
which the Freni ,h people would never submit
to if attempted oTer the people of France ?—
[Cheers J But .here is no such military power
under the insli unions of the United States.—
There are mart ial rights, laws of war, but well
known and we 11 recognized, laws written of in
Grotious, in V xttel, in Puffendorf, in our own
Wheaton, and in our own Kent, and nowhere
is .there recorded as giving to any nominal com
mander of a’.i army, any such authority as the
President r.tteuipLs to exercise not only ovffr
the people, at large, but over this Constitution
of the Uijited States. I do not hesitate to say,
cost wh At it may, the use of such power us an
arbitrary and despotic exercise of illegal and
unconditional power. [Tremendous cheering.]
1 wi',1 not cite a hundred authorities that 1
cou'id cite in Latin, in French, and in German,
under the civil law, as old as the days of Jus-
tiu«n, but I will come down to what has been
deemed high Republican authority, that of
John Quincy Adams. We had like controver
sies with Great Britain in 1788 and in 1816,
upon the subject of slave emancipation, that
we have now. Great Britain, pending the
revolution, emancipated and abducted many
slaves from Long Island and elsewhere, and
carried those slaves to Nova Scotia or to the
West Indies, thereto lie re-enslaved; and in
the war of 1812, Great Britain exercised a like
power over this slave preperiy ol the United
States. John Quincy Adams, as a .Minister to
England, as Secretary ol State of the United
States, wrote to the British authorities that—
“They (the British) had no right to make
any such emancipation promise to the negro.
The principle is, that the emancipation of the
enemy’s slaves is not among the acts of legiti
mate war; as relates to the owners, it is a de
struction of private property, nowhere war
ranted by the usages of war.
“No such right is acknowledged as a law of
war by writers who admit any limitation. The
right of putting to death all prisoners, in cold
blood, without special cause, might as well be
pretended to be a law of war, or the right to
use poisoned weapons, or to assassinate.”
This is the language of John Quincy Adams,
in his correspondence with the British Govern
ment upon the subjects of slaves emancipated
during the war of the revolution and the war
of 1812. Under this remonstrance, and through
the treaty of Ghent, one million two hundred
thousand dollars were paid by the British Gov
ernment to the Southern slaveholders for prop
erty thus abducted and emancipated during the
war of the Revolution and the war of 1812.—
[Applause.J Hence, as the proclamation is not
right under the Constitution, it is no more sight
under the laws of war ; nor is it right to tbe
loyal men in the disloyal States of the Union.
NO A ECHO—GOVERNMENT PARTNERSHIPS.
For one, 1 am ready to say that if the time
ever arises when Georgia, or Alabama, or Vir
ginia, or Louisiana, is governed by negroes,
with a negro judiciary, negro senators in Con
gress, and negro representatives, it is quite
time for the white people of the North to dis
solve partnership with any such State. (Loud
cheers.) All these, however, are dreams of ne
gro liberty, equality, and fraternity; and if the
schemes of the President are carried out there
must inevitably follow what the Abolitionists
now demand of him, the arming of the slaves,
their adoption into the army of the United
States, and our recognition of them, not only
as fellow-soldiers, but as fellow-citizens also.
(Applause and laughter.) In Louisiana there
are now thousands of slaves supported on Gov
ernment rations, and every negro costs the
United States forty cents a day for his rations.
Something must be done with these negroes.
The Abolitionists propose to bring them into
the army of the United States. This is no new
proposition. A like proposition was made two
years ago iu the State oi New York—the be
ginning of that idea, to give negro suffrage to
negro voters, and though this was a Republir
can State, going for Mr. Lincoln by fifty thou
sand majority, the Republicans themselves had
good sense enough to vote down that proposi
tion by an immense majority. But what mean
these propositions ? They are nothing new.—
Let us see.
THE NULLIFICATION OF HABEAS C0RPCS.
There followed, in the reign of the two
Charleses of England, (despotic kings,) what is
called the writ of habeas corpus—the right
which an English subject had, whenever he
was taken prisoner and incarcerated in a jail,
to have a writ from a Judge of the Court of
King’s Bench, commanding the jailor to bring
the, body of that subject before him, to have
hhyhse abjudicated upon according to the laws
of ftmgland. And yet, that which has been
English liberty since the days of the dark ages,
(1215;) that which the despotic kings of Eng
land, the two Charleses, accorded—one of whom
was executed for his tyranny and his Govern
ment suppressed by Cromwell—that wh^ our
fathers have had since their reign, is now sub
verted, overthrown, destroyed, by a mere pro
clamation from the President of the United
States, annulling both the right of trial by jury
and the habeas corpus, by which every person
has a right to know, before some judge, why
he has been incarcerated. The President
claims that he has authority, under the Con
stitution, to issue this power of suspending the
habeas corpus. Believe you that Washington,
rebelling against the tyranny of the executive !
power of King George; that Madison, Jeffer- j
son, Franklin, old John Adams, or any of the j
fathers of the Revolution, ever created a Con
stitution by which one mere man, having the
same tlesh and blood that you and I have, is,
without act ol Congress, to have authority over
thirty millions of people ?—that he can take
any of you, by day or by night, l'rooi your
wives and children, and incarcerate yo i in
Fort Lalayette or Fort Warren, beyond all
hope of redemption? (“Infamous.”) Never
did the framers of the Constitution give or
graDt such powers to the Executive of the U.
S. (“We will never stand it.”) If it were giv
en, there is no liberty any longer in the U. S.,
for that Executive has but tbe exercise of ar
bitrary power to involve this country in war
with England or France, and in the suspension
of the habeas corpus, alter creating an army of
a million of men to ride, rough shod, over thir
ty millions of hitherto free white men. (“Nev
er, never.”) Our own Judge Hzll, in the wes
tern part of the State, but the other day liber
ated a person, a reverend gentleman—who
may, or may not, have been guilty of some
thing, I know not what—on a habeas corpus,
and in doing so, declared that, as Congress had
given the President no such power, he had no
such power. (Applause.) Notwithstanding
this decision of Judge Hall, this person was ta
ken, the moment he was liberated (a white man
kidnapped) to the Central Railroad depot, put
in a freight car, isolated from the people, and
secretly, and stealthily taken from Buffalo to
Albany, thence to Washington, a State pris
oner. (Shame.) And they tell me that for
this Iree speech, this free and fundamental dis
cussion of all these things, I may be imprison
ed and incarcerated. (“No you won’t.”) But
I do not at all feel certain that one or two
thousand policemen may not take me any hour
of the day from the midst of mv fellow citizens
and incarcerate uic. (“Never,” and protracted
cheers.)
,[A man in the audience proposed three cheers
for Judge Hall, which were enthusiastically
given.]
WHAT IS TO BE DONE—A LAST CHEER FROM CAPT.
RYNDERS—PROCESSION TO THE BASTILE WITH
THE LIBERTY CAP.
Now, fellow-citizens, I dare say 1 shall be
asked by Republicans, after these complaints
against the Administration of the Government,
“What are we to do?” If this country was
not in the midst of a civil war, I would have
no hesitancy in saying, as Patrick Henry said,
in the Revolution, “Resistance to tyrants is
obedience to God.” (Enthusiastic and long
continued cheering.)
Capt. Rynders— “Three cheers for th *, : l
is the last cbeers that freemen have to give.”
(The cheers were given.)
What are we to do ? (An audiior—“Where
are the tyrants ?” “Put him out”) All I pro
pose to do is to appeal to the ballot bnx. That
has hitherto been a sufficient court of appeal
for all the people of the United State. If they
will permit us to have it, arouse and inspire
yourselves for action at the ballot box. (Ap
plause.) The ballot box is your only your
lofty and sublime remedy. (“ Will they
let us have the ballot-box “”) Go to the bal
lot box r.nd make a trial there for the redemp
tion of this people from all impending slavery.
For the present protest loudly against all this
arbitrary exercise of power. (We will do it”)
If 1, or any oi your tellow-citizens be impris
oned, do as the French did in the midst of the
Revolution, form large processions, with the
red cap of liberty lifted over every freeman’s
head (great applause,) march to the Bastile uu-
armed, and on bended knees, if necessary, im
plore the commander to liberate your fellow-
citizen. (“No, never in America.”) Freemen
should always, before resorting to any ultima
ratio, petition, beg, and implore. There are
rights and obligations in a country like this
as long as the ballot box is open for the re
dress of wrongs. (“You are right.”) When
you have assembled before the bastile read to
the epaulettes, in the lofty sonorous Latin of
the dark ages, the Magna Uharla of your Eng
lish fathers, thunder the habeas corpus in the
ears ot your fellow-ctizens and soldiers, and
then read and re-read there tbe Constitution of
the Uniied States, which guarantees to every
man the right of free speech, of free discussion
trial by jury, and security for his property and
person. (Cheers.)
Fellow-citizens, I did not come here only to
complain against the Administration of the
Government this evening, but also to lay before
you, in this free speech that 1 am makiDg, my
ideas upon the subject of this war. I have no
sympathy with rebellion in any shape or form
whatsoever. The Constitution of the United
States once was enough for our Southern coun
trymen ; the Congress of the once United
States afforded every remedy for the redress of
their grievances under the Constitution. They
were terribly provoked and goaded; but their
duty was, with the Senate ofthe United States
theirs, with the House of Representatives, al-

most theirs, with the Judiciary theirs, their
duty was to do what I urge upon you this eve
ning, to petition and to go to the ballot box.
The right of petition is the birthright of every
American. The ballot box is the remedy for , ery stable ot tbe under? 1 mu-d‘ unleTg'pnva’
every American. Arms, artillery, the cartouch I '"JljVapJiam Termsc "“ il -
box, are not elements of American progress or 1
civilization. (Cheers.)
A WAR OF SUBJUGATION CANNOT SUCCEED—EVEN
MAINE COULD NOT BE SUBJUGATED.
I have my own ideas on this war. I wish I
could express them freely here. (“Speak out.”)
No, no, I shall not speak out, when armies are
contending, when fraternal blood is being shod.
But (nere the speaker paused some time as if
considering) this I will say, I was born in the
State of Maine. On one side is the British
Province of Nova Scotia, and on the other is
that of Lower Canada, with wide, navigable
rivers, opening the State to the navies of the
world; and yet there is such an unconquerable,
invincible, Anglo-Saxon spirit, and such a high
sense of independence there, that I do not be
lieve that England, France, and the United
States together could ever subjugate the people.
Subjugation or extermination is not an Ameri
can idea ; it is not a theory to which the Anglo
Saxon bloGd in our veins will ever surrender.—
If the oath of subjugation were forced upon
the citizens of the State of Maine, he would
strike at the administrator of that oath in the
rear; ^ut whoever held out to him the rights
of self-goaernment, according to the Constitu
tion of the United States, be, with a single reg
iment from New York, or elsewhere, would
bring back all the people of Maine to theii obe
dience. I do not propose, if any may draw
such an inference, that wc shall ever surrender
our Constitution and government to the rebels
of tbe Southern States. But I propose to car
ry on the war upon a different principle—with
the sword in the right band, and the Constitu
tion in tbe left; (great applause) and under that
panoply and protection, not a million of sol
diers, but two hundred thousand will crush out
and exterminate all southern rebellion. If it
be necessary for the subjugation of that cradle
of rebellion, where this unholy war first began,
where the proud flag of our country was first
struck down by rebel cannjn, if volunteers be
called, to re hoist that flag there I think I may
say, two millions of volunteers would go from
the Northern States. (Cheers.)

IMPORTANT FROM TEXAS.
We have information from Houston, Texas,
as late as the 3d, which we are placed in pos
session of by the urbanity of Dr. Holland, who
is on his way toRichmond. From a telegram
received from (Jt Vos ton just before the train
started, the Doctor had reason to believe that
the Yankees had landed on the Island and ta
ken possession of the town soon after his de
parture. This they may do by means of their
gunboatR, without our being able to make any
effective resistance, but shoul t they ever at
tempt to come to main land we will receive
them with “bloody hands to hospitable graves.”
The capture of Galveston by the enemy, al
though mortifying to us, with a fruitless victo
ry to them, as nearly the whole population,
stocks of goods, furniture and even cattle, had
been removed from the place a long time be
fore. More seriously will we be inconvenienced
by their having taken Sabine Pass, as that port
had been frequently and successfully used by
our vessels in running the blockade. Meas
ures are being taken, however, to prevent tlieir
ascending the Sabine and Neehes rivers on pil
fering expeditions.
He was very sorry to have to report the
disgraceful conduct of the citizens of Lake
Charles City and Glendenning’s Ferry on Cal-
cassieu river in Louisiana, who permitted 12
or 14 of the enemy >o ascend tbe river in an
open launch some eighty-five miles, sink two
sail vessels and capture a steamboat called the
“Dan." which from its light draught, they in
tend, no doubt, to use in their marauding vis
its to the rivers, lakes and bayous on the coasts
of Louisiana and Texas.
Half a dozen true men would have prevented
this shameful exploit, and as he passed the Fer
ry in the stage a short time before the Yankees
returned, finding the people apathetic, he and
a few passengers offered to do the job for them
if they would only furnish them arms, but even
this they refused to do, under the pretext that
they had none. They were thus reluctantly
compelled to continue their journey and noth
ing remains for them to do than to deplore the
undeniable fact that even in our midst, traitors
and cowards are not so scarce as the general
patriotism and gall intry of our people would
lead us to believe.—Jackson Mississipinan.
Salting Bekf ok Pork by Injecting Brink
into the Arteries.—This is the cheapest and
most expeditious way to sr.lt meat even in

the scientific ought to be experimenting. In

salted throughout with one quart ot salt. It
will be plenty salt for table use but not for
bacon.
Who will discover some way to make water
hold more salt in solution, or some additional
curing condiment, to make out the defici
ency, so that meat will need no more salting
after the one simple injection ? J. H. C.

Lt. Col. Sloan.—We regret to hear that
intelligence has been received which leaves but
little doubt that this gallant youDg officer is
dead. He died within the enemy's lines, of

memory and deplore the sad fortune of war by
which he was so early cut off in his career of
usefulness and promise.—Columbns Enquirer.
DEATH OF COL. THOMAS G. LAMAR.
The telegraph brings the sad aunouucement of
the death of Col. Thomas G. Lamar, at Charleston,
at 1 o’clock this morning. He had been sick but
a few days, from an attack of the low country fe
ver ; but his friends hoped that he would be spared
to give his gallant services to bis country once
more. Alas! their fond hopes have beeu disap
pointed, and hia brave spirit has been called away.
Col. Iaimar was a native of Edgefield District,
South Carolina, and was about 40 years of age at
the time of bis death. He leaves a wife and chil
dren, and numerous relatives aud admiring friends
to mourn his loss.
During the secession troubles he quickly arrayed
liiuis If on the side of the South, and devoted him-
himsell to ihe service of his native State when she
had shaken off the shackles which bound her to the
Union.
At 'lie battle of SecessionviUe, near Charleston,
last J uue, ho greatly distinguished himself by his
bravery and -oolness, and the admirable and suc
cessful maimer in which he managed the battery
which he had tbe honor to command. In that en
gagement, he received a severe wound in the neck
and ear, which disabled him but a short time from
service; and, as soon as possible, lie returned to
his command.
He was an accomplished and gallant officer, and
his loss will be felt not only by bis own family and
friends, but by the whole country. Peace to his
ashes!
The remains of Col. Lamar will be brought to
Hamburg to morrow-morning, aud will be taken
thence to the family burying ground tor inter
ment. »
His friends are respectfully invited to attend
the funeral services at tl o’clock, A. M., to-morrow
(Saturday) morning.—Augusta Constitutionalist.
Lincoln’s own Construction of his Proc

how m» y legs would it have f ‘Five.’ ‘No,

to the slaves, ‘you are free,’ they will be no
more free than at present.
