Washington, Aug. 27, 1866.
The promulgation of the recent Proclama
tion of the President in relation to the block
ade of Matamoras, lias given rise to serious
misapprehension. The peculiar friends of
the defunct Mexican republic have taken it
as a sure indication that it would be followed
by the departure of Mr. Campbell for the
headquarters of Juarez, and by other execu
tive acts in direct aid of the Liberal cause
in Mexico. But there is no such intention
'n the part of the President. The policy of
n *'taality on the part of the Government,
towa-l s Mexico, will not be changed; and
Mr. Caupbcll ba9 been directed to return to
his home -a Olii*- The proclamation in re
gard to the blockaG) was just such a procla
mation as would be i^ued in regard to any
part in any commercial <ountry, from which
American vessels were exo udcd bj a paper
blockade. The United Stau, Government
would have failed in its plainest dl ,ty to its
own citizens, if this proclamation it»regard to
Matamoras had not been issued. The laws of
nations require blockades to be enforced by
the actual presence of ships-of-war; and in
this case it is said that there was no such
blockade as the rules of international law re-
S ire. The proclamation simply set forth
s fact: nothing more.
Besides this, Mr. Seward has recently stat
ed that Maximilian has not got a
sufficient naval force to render his declared
blockade effective, and probably would not
have fior some years: but thi“ if he had had
—if he had really raadctbe blockade of Mat-
amoras effective before declaring it, then no
such proclamation would have been issued
by the President. The fact Is, on no subject
are the law* ot nations more plain or more
settled tfaav on this very subject of block-
ados, and a moment’s examination of the
1 >ooks will show that this rather startling
declaration of Mr. Seward's is founded upon
unquestioned authority. The whole matter
resolves itself into this: If a blockade is
merely so on paper, wo may disregard it. If
it is an actual blockade, supported by the
presence of ships of war, we must respect it,
unless we have made up our minds to go to
war with the power by whom it is enforced.
In this case, although we do not yet rec
ognize the present government of Mexico,
yet there is no intention on the part of the
President to go to war with it. Mr. Sewqrd
lia9 stated, within a week past, that the
French troops in Mexico would unquestion
ably evacuate that country, at the periods
specified by Napoleon; and this is confirmed
by the Last despatch from Paris by the Atlan
tic telegraph, dated Aug. 24th. But Mr.
Seward does not shore in the opinion that
tho Mexican empire will not survive the
departure of those troops. All of his iniorma-
ation from Mexico, both that brought l>y Mr.
Wm. n. Corwin, a few months ago, and that
which ho has received 11 egular intervals
since, has. led Mr. Seward to entertain the
firm conviction that the present government
of Mexico is firmly established, and must,
eventually,be recognized by the United Btates
and that the unhappy discussions among the
Liberals in Mexico, have rendered it impossi
ble lor the reuublic to be restored there with
out the direct intervention and materiel aid
of the U. S. Government.
R to your Tenders that I should state
that the recent dispatches from Paris, dated
August 20, 32 and 25, announcing that the
mission of the Empress Carlotta has failed,
snd tbnt Maximilian would soon abdicate
and return to Europe, are regarded here with
g reat distrust. Napoleon docs not wear his
cart upon his sleeve, nor does he thus pro
claim his purposes months in advance so
publicly that they may be flashed over the
wires. If it has been given out in Paris tliat
the mission of Carlotta has failed, and that
Napoleon has refused to extend any aid to
Maximilian, it may Le considered certain that
tho atoryhas been purposely set afloat, in or
der to throw tfce public off the scent, and to
veil the interior purposes of Napoleon. Why
almost the last public act of Maximilian
was to make an entire change of his cabinet,
and to appoint Frenchmen to every one of

The people of the South manifesting so; — .. . . —
great a desire for information as to the state
of feeling North, wc are induced to give the
impressions made on our mind during a re
cent visit.
At "Washington. Philadelphia and New
York, as well as on the route of travel, we met a
large number of gentlemen whose views arc
in accord with the great National move
ment. As is usual with mankind, their judg
ments differed. Some men are hopeful al
ways of a great deal; others ot less, but not
despondent The Radicals are strong, bje-
causc they have had pntronnge and power
for a long time in their hands. The contest
in the coming campaign promises to be a very
bitter one. and a great struggle for power must
occur. The conservatives, who do not let
their desires aflcct their judgments, and
whose opinions are, therefore, to be relied
upon, confidently expect to gain a number
of Congressmen at the next election—enough
at least to prevent the Congress from over
ruling the vetoes of the President Their
great, final struggle with the Radicals they
expect to occur at the next Presidential elec
tion, when the principles of the great Conser
vative National party, as set forth in the res
olutions and address adopted at Philadel
phia, will be triumphant There is a proba
bility of electing, though, a majority of the
Congress, on account of the moral effect of
such a body of men assembled in the late
Convention from all sections of the Union,
who so harmoniously, enthusiastically, and
so well did their patriotic work.
In addition to this, the Convention of sol
diers and sailors of tho Union army, which
is called by tlie leading officers of the army
to assemblo at Cleveland, bids fair to be a
great, success.
Tt is last movement, inaugurated, as it has
been, by men whose position during the war
commend them to tho Northern people, will
cause to assemble a large number of those
who bore the honorable and heavy burthens
of the late war, in whose hearts exist feelings
of admiration and kindness for their oppo-
and Constitution, and when their actions and New York Market*. Russian Blew*,

praiseworthy feeling of patriotism,—and

rendered in the field, and believe the time for
peace then came, and peace and quiet in our
whole land they are determined to have.—
Great numliera of them, therefore, may be re

us all.
The President may be trusted as a friend
and well-wisher to us in our distressed con
dition. Hq is determined to succeed in the
great struggle for constitutional principles.
Endorsed, as he is, by a large majority of the
people of the Union, bo will devote all his

Let our people be patient, neither expect
too much, nor expect results to be worked out

SPEECH FROM THE PRESIDENT.
SPEECH FROM MR. SEWARD.
New York, Aug. 30.—In response to the
Mayor's address, yesterday, the President, in
a voice evidently affected by emotion, re
marked, as follows:
“To make a reply to whai you have just
given utterance to, under the circumstances,
would be more than I could undertake. I am
overwhelmed at the reception you have ac
corded to me. [Applause.] Language is in
adequate to give expression to my feelings.
I accepted your invitation and I now beg
you will in return accept my most sincere and
heartfelt thanks. Such an invitation from
this great Metropolis ought to encourage, aud
it does encourage, me in the faithful dis
charge of my duty. [Cheers.] It is pecu
liarly acceptable at this time, fresh as we are
from the battle-field. But there is still a
greater battle before us. [Cheers.j In refer
ence to wbat I have done, it is betore you,
and it is for you to determine what my con
duct has been. [Applause.] In conclusion
let silence speak for me what I
ought to say and what I intend to
do. [Cheers.] In accepting these resolu
tions, accompanied by sentiments so grace
fully uttered, I again returnc you my sin
cere thanks.”
At the conclusion of the President’s re
marks he was greeted with three times three
cheers.
Loud calls were then made for Secretary
Seward, who said:
“I feel that I am at home. I thank you for
tho welcome you have extended me. [Ap

Macon, Ga. Aug. 00th, 1806.
Editor* Telegraph: In your issue of the
18th, I noticed an article headed Indian
Springs, which I presume is from your pen
as it appears under your column—"stating
that a short visit to the Springs enabled you
to give a few facts that may interest those
desiring to imbibe -the health-bestowing
water.” In the first place yon say “the sup
posed case of Small Pax—hastily and injudi-
ciovthj so pronounced, which created a panic
among the visitors, turns out not to have been
Small Pox; such is the decision of Physicians
both st the Springs and at Macon, where the
gentleman now is.” There were two other
articles in your paper of the 6th, reflecting
upon my decision. You speak as one having
authority, consequently I deem your last
statement of sufficient importance to notice.
Dr. J. H. Bryant, n resident Physician, and
myself were the Physicians who pronounced
the case Varioloid, which is modified Small
Pox.. Now for the facts. I was a visitor
nlso at the Springs at the time the case in
question was there. I was solicited by several
gentlemen whose apprehensions had been
aroused by certain signs and indications to
see the suspected case with Dr. Elder, tho at
tending Physician. At the urgent request of
Dr. Harvey, Dr. Elder reluctlantly invited me
to see Capt. Anderson, then confined to his
room. After careful examination, I gave it
as my opinion that he had Varioloid, (molli
fied Small Pox,) Dr. Elder however, dissent
ing. This was on the afternoon of tlic 28th
of July. On Sunday, as there was much un
easiness manifested by the guests ot the Hotel,
and Dr. Elder end myself disagreeing in
opinion, it was suggested by myself as well
os others to call in a consulting Physician to
set matters at rest and quiet the fears of
the visitors. Whereupon Dr. Bryant, a
Physician of high srauding, unde
niable ability aud large experience in
the treatment of -mall pox—who lmd been
appointed by the Court for many years to
treat all such case*, and must have been very
familiar with the disease, was called to see
Captain Anderson and decide wbat was the
matter. The Doctor examined minutely and
carefully the case, and gave bis opinion un
hesitatingly and positively, that it was modi
fied small pox, thereby triumphantly sustain
ing my decision. At the time I saw the case,
as well as Br. Bryant, the patient was
in a convalescent condition, and about
the 12th or 14th day of the disease, and if
Other physicians were called to see Capt. An
derson, and gave an adverse opinion. I have
united by the arms of our heroes, by the
tne of onr citizens, and by the wisdo
energy of our Chief Magistrate, tcnnyti?
wanting, it is the certificate which we loo£
for at the coming polls, to bear ns out in our
opinions, that the United States should con
sist of thirty-five instead of twenty-five States.
[Great applause.]
“In the city and State of New York the
people should be faithful, first to their wives,
then to their fchildren, then to the City and
State, and then to tho country. To this du
ty I adhere, nnd if persons were to interfere
with me in faitbtully carrying out this prin
ciplc I could overbalance them and still be
faithful to the country,” (Great cheering.)
The President, Secretary Seward, General
Grant, Admiral Farragut and Secretary Wel
les were quartered at Delmonico's while the
remainder of tho party were provided for at
Fifth Avenue Hotel. The President received
many visitors last evening.
Banks Telling Lie* at Portland.
Boston, Aug. 30th.—At a Radical Mass
Meeting in Portland, on Alonday, General
Banks intimated that the President was a

remove Grant from office, and place one of

He nlso said General Grant and himself
had fought for the Union at one cad of the
line, and now they were fighting for it at the
other, and if General Grant was not in the
field, he was doing equally good service.—
(Laughter and applause.) He said that our
three thousand million of debt could be paid
only by the consolidation of our Nationality
and the prosperity of the union of the
States.
In conclusion, he said the demonstration
in Npw York confined him in his opinion
that the pe; vie will take care of tho Govern
ment, and ft,-’. who would attempt to check
theic.purposff^ 1 1 better stand out of the
way. Fpr hmiJelf, he had reached the sum
mit of his ambition, with one exception ;
he said there is but one thing wanting—
would you hear it ? (Cries of yes.) At this
particular crisis and period of our history,
when the Sates are in peril, if I can bo the in
strument in the hands of the people of restor
ing their Union and making it complete,
causing the Government to re-commence its
glorious and miglity career of prosperity and
greatness, I will be willing to exclaim, as
some one did of old, when he saw the babe
born in the rnangtr: “I have seen tlic glory
of thy salvation—!et thy servant depart in
peace.” (Enthusiastic applause.) That be
ing done, nfy ambition is complete. I ask
nothing more. I would rather 'ive in history
and live in the affections of my countrymen
as having consummated this great end, than
bo President forever. Here tho audience
broke into an irrepressible burst of applause,
and on the call Gen. Sandford gave three
cheers for Andrew Johnson, the restorer of
the Union.
After a drive through Central Park, the
President and Ccn. Grant took a boat at Man-

Among these prerent were Gen. Grant, Ad
miral Farragut, 3Ir. Seward, 3Ir. Welles, the
Russian, Mexican and Braziilian Ministers,
A. T. Stewart, Wm. B. Astor and upwards of
two hundred prominent citizens. The Presi
dent spoke at great length, and said, in the
course of his remarks, that the Government
went to war for the express purpose of pre
serving the Union of these States, and the
Government had established the great fact
that the States have not the power or the
right, either by forcible or peaceful means, to
separate from each other ; but the Con
gress has practically assumed, and up
to the present time carried out,
the doctrine that the Government was dis
solved, aud these States were out of the Un
ion. We denied their right to secede, even
peaceably, and now wc find, when these States
seek again to renew their practical relations
with the Union by sending their representa
tives to Congress, there are men in tliat body
who, in violation of our Great Charter of
liberty, refuse to admit them. The question
is:—will we submit—will we American peo
ple submit—to this practical assertion of
doctnnc that wc repudiated and overthrew
by the war? Tliat L-uc is before you. If
we submit to thi*. we give the lie direct to
every position taken by us since the war com

Vict 0 ,
Washington, Sept. 1.—Durant, of New
Orleans, and Brownlow spoke at a mass
meeting at Philadelphia last night. The for
mer said Gov. Welles, under directions from
Washington, filled every office with men who
had given aid and comfort to the rebellion
either in the field or the Cabinet, and so well
did lie succeed, that in the following year
no one was elected to the Legislature who
would not have considered it an unpardona
ble insult to have been called a union man.—
Immediately were seen the direful conse
quences. Odious distinctions were made in
every direction, emancipated slaves were op
pressed, and justice or right in the case of a
citizen of African descent, or of Union princi
pies in most quarters, could not be obtained
and this wa9 one reason why loyal men turned
their attention to the thought of re-conven
ing the Convention of 1804.
He declared that the President’s interfer
ence in the affairs of New Orleans produced
the terrible results of July 30; and that loyal
men were fleeing to the North for protection
and free speech. Ho asked for the enfran
chisement of the negro, without whose aid,
he says, the loyal white men of Louisiana
cannot re-create a loyal Government.
Here Wm. Kelly said he wished to intro
duce the great and valiant Gov. Brownlow,
(oh! oh!). In the course of his brief remarks
he said that the present Congress was the most
patriotic body in the world, and never had
been excelled by any but the present Legisla
ture of Tennessee. He further said, *• If an
other war comes, I want you to divide your
army into three portions. Let the first and
largest come around with harpoons and do
the killing. Let the second come around
with lighted torches and do the burning.—
Let the third come with surveyor’s lines and
re-mark out and re-settle the country. These
are my sentiments.”
