Mr. James E. Harvey. Lincoln’s Am
bassador to Portugal, has written a long
letter to Secretary Cameron in vindication
of himself from the charge of treasonable
complicity with the South Carolinians in
the Fort Sumter affair. Our readers,
doubtless, recollect the nature ot the accu
sation. We copy the conclusion of the
letter, from which it will he observed that
notwithstanding Mr. Harvey refers with
great particularity to his despatches sent
prior to the determination ot Lincoln,
Scott & Co., to rein fore or prevision Sum
ter, he says nothing of his despatch sent
after the Government had changed its pur
pose, which, it we understand the matter,
is the. one complained of.
However, as the Government encour
aged Mr. Harvey to give assurances to the
authorities at Charleston, when it changed
its mind resolved on inaugurating a new
policy wholly inconsistent with those as
surances, Mr. H. owed it to the Carolin
ians, to truth and to himself, to communi
cate that change, whether with the knowl
edge or consent of his Government or not.
But to the letter, of which the following is
an extract;
But it is hardly necessary to refer to
such incidents to refresh your recollection
of events so recent, as no one knows better
than you do the reasons which actuate me
throughout. Since, however, I rely upon
you to see justice done me, and the pres
sure of public affairs may have displaced
some of the material facts in your mind, I
propose to recite them briefly for that pur
pose. You were promptly informed of the
communications which passed between Mr.
Magrath and myself, and of the considera
tions which lead to them. I never had,
directly or indirectly, a line of correspon
dence with him except what you have seen
inthe telegrams referred to. He was a
schoolmate of mine, and an old friend. I
had pood reason to believe that he was
averse to a collision, and would du every
thing to prevent it by personal and other
influence. You must remember perfectly
well how all the information at the time I
took tills part threatened a daily attack
on Fort Sumter by the so-called Confed
erate army, which all good men in Wash
ington and Charleston desired to prevent.
When it was considered settled that Major
Anderson Mould be withdrawn, I tele
graphed the fact to Mr. Pettigrew. Mr.
Magrath, and others, hoping to avert what
then seemed to be the impending calamity
of bloodshed, and to postpone, at least,
the inauguration of civil war. A few days
elapsed, and he was not withdrawn, when
Mr. Magrath inquired of me if my pre
vious information was correct. I carried
his despatch to you at Willard’s Hotel, in
forming you, at the same time, of my tele
graph to him. You suggested that I should
take it to Mr. Seward, which I did, at the
Department of State, and in reply to my
question, “What answer I should send to
Charleston,” he said substantially, “That
time would vindicate my previous as
surance.” I returned, stated what Had
occurred, and you then informed me that
Major Anderson would be withdrawn.
1 telegraphed Mr. Magrath accordingly,
without giving any authority but my own,
and I felt glad at being the medium of a
communication which I then thought
would preserve the peace, and give mis
guided men a chance to retrace their steps.
It was then or soon after reported that the
authorities in South Carolina would not
consent to the voluntary withdrawal of
Major Anderson, but would demand a for
mal capitulation Knowing that such a
concession never could and never ought to
he made by the Government, and fearing
it might interrupt the peaceable retirement
of Major Anderson, I stated the rumor by
telegraph to Mr. Magrath, asking if it
were true, and saying, “If it was, the
friends of peace would be rendered power
less.”
He sent me an authorized and decided
assurance to the contrary. I sought you
immediately at tlie War Department, and
submitted the dispatch. It made so much
impression on your mind that you request
ed me to take it forthwith to the President,
and gave me a note to him, which I still
retain, to facilitate my admission in case
of delay. I inlormed the President hastily
of all the antecedent circumstances which
culminated in that despatch, and he pro
posed to retain it, as the object was still
undetermined in his mind, in order to have
the information before him with the ether
papers, I cor.S3nted, and left it.
You know better than I do what cause
the change of purpose in regard to
Maj. Anderson’s withdrawal. * * *
My whole action in this matter was
voluntary, and inspired by a sense of the
highest patriotism. I can appeal to God,
honestly and fearlessly, for the rectitude
of my intentions and for their perfect purity
and disinterestedness. And 111)611 we all
meet before the bar of Eternal Justice,
and our hearts are exposed, I have an
abiding trust that the one act of my life
which will plead most successfully for
mercy and the forgiveness of many errors
and infirmities will be that which has so
unjustly provoked this cruel calumny. 1
shall not indulgence in crimination, or per
mit my natural feeling of indignation
against such an outrage to find expression
now. Indeed it has saddened me too
deeply for any such emotion, and I fear
almost to receive my Dext letters, dreading
the effect which may have been produced
on those who are less able to bear up
against such affliction. Although 1 have
never been a partizan of yours, I have felt
from your repeated declarations some lit
tle claim for services voluntarily rendered
you in the course of the last fifteen years,
and for which, you well know I have
never asked or received recognition in any
manner or form. It has been my misfor
tune to disagree often and radically with
some of your professed friends, still I have
never failed to do your public position
justice, or to heed your calls upon me when
ever they were made. This is all I ask
at your hands now; I desire no sympathy
from anybody. My reputation has been
shamefully slandered, and I trust to your
knowledge of the facts to have me righted
with those whose good opinion is entitled
to respect. I appeal to you as one of the
strictest justice. J. E. KarvkV.

Important i.mr.uita in Washington
Washington, August 13,1861.—Yester
day M. Grandbelli, Confectioner on Penn
sylvania Avenue, brought suit against
Senators Wilson, Wade, Sumner, Hale
and Foster, Secretaries Seward, Blair and
Chase, and several distinguished officers
in the late Grand Arrny for the amount
of two thousand live hundred and forty
seven dollars and twenty-five cents, for
wines, liquors, fruits, meats and pastries
furnished to their order at Centreville, on
the 21st ult., to celebrate the destruction
of the rebels at Manassas. Wilson, in be
half of defendents, plead that no such
meats, &c., were furnished. Grandbelli
rejoined that the dinner was there per or
der at three o’clock, P. M., but about that
time the defendants took a sudden fright
and made off'in a hurry, and dinner and
dishes were shortly thereafter seized and
carried away by Bonham’s South Caroli
nians. He offered to prove upon the tes
timony of witnesses, that all the defen
dants had passed invitations to the dinner
at three o’clock, but before that time
were seen traveling toward Washington
at a fearful rate, mostly on foot their hair
and coat tails streaming in the wind. Wil
son had run himself off his legs nnd ‘for
that reason appeared in court on crutches.
Bumner’s spine for the firit time since
1S56 was well and strong on that day
without cauterization. Blair had gnash
ed out his own teeth with rage and mor
tification. Grandbelli stated that he had
presented his bill to Wilson, next day, hut
the Senator said he had lost his pocket
book in the race, and asked him to carry
the bill to Cameron, who would pay it out
of the appropriation for army supplies.
Upon bearing this, Wilson swore like a
Puritan, and raised his crutch to strike
Grandbelli over the head, but the French
man dodged, and in turn, doored \\ ilson
with a blow on the nose. Botli were fined
five dollars for contempt, and the case
held over for advisement.
Some forty hackdrivers also brought
suit against sundry members of Congress
for broken carriages, cut harness, blowed
and lost steeds, which they had hired in
good condition for the Fairfax races, and
now refused to pay.— Telegraph

We are indebted to the Mftcon Tele
graph for the following information:
A planter in Mississippi states that seven
years ago he commenced giving his ne
groes two pounds of bacon and two pints
of molassas per week, instead of four
pounds of bacon as before. Ilis negroes
soon began to like the molassas better than
the meat and he now looks to Lonisana
for one half the meat used on his planta
tion. The Medical Faculty of London
several years since, decided that those
who live on molassas as a part of their
diet never have the Typhoid Fever. The
Mississippi planter’s experience corrobo
rates this decision, for his negroes have
not had a single case of Typhoid Fever
among them,although frequently in the
neighborhood and once in his own family.
Let the planters of Georgia try this ex
periment. It nill save more than one
half. So much fat bacon and grease in
our climate is injurious and unhealthy.—

ways healthy and sound.

the laws, and brought them to a recogni

members may then safely substitute the

Privateersmen and Prisoners of War.—
The New York Times comments as follows
upon the letters from President Davis to
Abraham Lincoln, relative to our priateers-
men now in the hands of the enemy.
Davis, unfortunately, has it in his pow
er to make this threat effective. He has
in his hands a very large number of our
prisoners, and will unquestionably retali
ate upon them whatever treatment we may
extend to these privateers. President
Lincoln in his proclamation, has announced
his purpose to treat all who may accept
letters of marque and reprisal from the
Confederate Government as pirates; and
the general sentiment of ihe public M-ould
unquestionably sustain him in so doing.
It cannot be concealed, however, that the
current of events may render it necessary
to act with caution in this matter, .and not
take a position which may augment great
ly the horrors—great enough at best—of
this civil war.
By taking and holding prisoners at all,
it ivould seem to be recognizing the South
ern States as belligerents.
We do not, therefore, concede to them
any civil rights, nor in the slightest degree
commit ourselves to a recognition of their
political existence. But we do concede
that they are entitled to the benefit of those
usages which obtain among all civilized

contracted at the North of telling the
truth (!) u hich our Southern brethren seem
to have effectually subdued, and the un
bridled license of our Northern press, free
from the wholesome censorship which
keeps that at the South in due subordina

this local and transitory M-ant during the war,
but for the use of all nations in coming time dur
ing peace. His method, patiently and skillfully
imitated by ltritish speculators, is now carried on
so great a scale near Liverpool, Glasgow and
New Castle, that England seems to have built on
her chemical products the foundations of her man
ufacturing superiority.
American speculators, too, have been aware of
tho profits of such an industry, and numerous
Chemical Banks have been cliarteied in the North
for the Americanizing the same pursuit. But
several of these A'aukees have taken a much
greater care of making directly money than chem
ical products, and therefore their banks have been
of no chemical avail. As to the other, forgetting
always that their first condition of success was
to have at home their prime matter, trie common
Salt, they have made nearly a similar failure.
Now, you see that you cannot recommend a
Sulphuric Acid Manufactory, without recommend
ing at tlie same time a Southern Salt Manufacto
ry. Many other pursuits could be enumerated,
but it is enough to give an idea of the immense
manufacturing interest calling every day for a
domestic, supply ot this vital article.
Indeed, the Salt applied to industrial pursuits
opens a field without limits for internal improve
ment; but a field where no strp, no progress can
be done without having at first a cheap Salt pro
duction. The cheapest is taken from the sea and
conducted by a solar evaporation. Therefore,
when the Southern people avail themselves of the
sea brine, either on the Atlantic coast or on the
Mexican Guif, they will have at home several
producing centres of this vital article; and the
traveler will say of this national production what
Hugh Miller, the Scottish geologist, tells us about
the Salt Works of Droitwich and its saltiferous re
gion.
“It forms,” says he, “the inexhaustible store
house of our household Salt—all that M-e employ
in our fisheries, in our meat curing establishments
for the army and navy, in our agriculture, in So
da manufactories—all that fuses our glass and
fertilizes our fields, impart the detergent quality
to our soaps and gives us salt herrings and salt
pork, and everything else—Salt that is the best
for being so. down to our dinner celery and our
breakfast eggs; it forms, in short, to use a Scot
ticism, the great Salt-basket of the empire ; and
the hand, however frequently thrust into it, never
finds an empty comer.”
Thus tho Atlantic coast will be inexhaustible to
us, and tho sea brine the great Salt-basket of tbe
Southern Confederation.

AVe learn, on good authority, that Com
modore Barron of the Confederate Navy,
has been assigned to duty, by President
Davis, on the coast of North Carolina and
Virginia. AVith the armament already at
his command in connection with our land
batteries on the coast, it is thought that
he will give the Yankees a warm recep
tion.
It M-ill be seen by this that the Confeder
ate government has assumed entire control
of our “coast defences,” and to allay all
anxiety on the subject, we can assure
our friends on the sea coast and elsewhere,
that Gov. Clark is omitting no opportunity,
but is employing all tbe means at his com
mand, to have them rendered not only se
cure against attacks, but prepared thor

DEATH OF THOMAS HARDEMAN, SEN.
A good, well known, and prominent citizen
was lost to Macon and A'ineville last Sunday,
in the person of Thomas Hardeman, Esq. He
was buried yesterday fiorn the Methodist Church,
in this city, with Masonic honors, the whole town
suspending business on the occasion. Mr. Har
deman had been an invalid for a long time, and
for the past four or five months coutined to his
house His disorder was inflamatory rheumatism,
from which be was a great suffeier for years. No
man, not occupying a public position was more
widely and favorably known in Middle Georgia.
To the highest social qualities, he added a purity
and ardor of Christian character, which made
him a man of mark and influences in the religious
world He was a strong pillar of Episcopal Meth
odism in this State, and he has closed a long life
of usefulness mid consistent piety to enter upon
a better and brighter career.— Teh graph.

Mr. King lias recently published a pamphlet de
tailing the ad vantages of a direct trade with the
South to European powers, aud urging tlie estab
lishment of steamship liue.s from Savannah ? and
other ports in the South. Some of ttie salient
points in the argument are embraced in the fol

Green Tea.—A friend handed us a small bunch
of green tea—the bona fide green tea of China—
grown in Hyde county, which we have tried and
find excellent. With the exception of a slight
fresh green taste, it was decidedly superior to the
tea brought all the way from the Celestial Empire.
Aud this taste we are satisfied, was the result
of its not being sufficiently cured. We know
not how much can be grown to the acre, nor the
time care anj expense necessary to cultivate and
raise it. But we suppose that it might be sue-’
cessfully and profitably grown and prepared for
market. As one of the luxuries that people will
have, though wars may come and high tariffs
have to be paid, and though the money must be
•ent out of the country, it would be well to give
it a fair trial. We hope the gentleman who culti
vated that that we drank with pleasure, will con
tinue to cultivate it, and others win try. Let us
make everything at home that we can profitably
make.- VtMufm (AT, Q ) JHspU*.
“We hope to be able to demonstrate,'’ writes
Mr. King, “in a rapid view of the question, the
necessity of establishiug, with as little delay as
possible, a direct line ot transatlantic sleamships
between France and the Confederate States of
America.
“ The secession of the Southern States lias de
prived New York ot her influence over tin? com
merce and business of the South, to which tho
powers of Europe may now aspire. Tbe immense
export and import trade of the Southern States,
the largest number of travellers who have hither
to visited the North lor health, pleasure, and,
above all, business ; the great amount of corres
pondence which'wili result from tlie commercial
and individual revolution now takinsr place, will
amply^'suffice to furnish a very profitable support
to several lines of steamships plying between the
Southern Confederacy and Europe, and more par
ticularly France.
“To these considerations may be added the re
peal of alt tonnage duties, thus throwing open the
coasting trade of foreign shipping, and tho adop
tion of a tariff which, being based upon free trade
principles, is exceedingly moderate.
“What a contrast is presented by these condi
tions, compared with those imposed by the North,
whose tariff is so highly protective that it ex
eludes the importation of foreign manufac
tures, and lays upon foreign slapping such ex
cessive tonnago duties as to reserve to the
North alone au exclusive monopoly of the coast
trade i
“The Cunatd lines, from Liverpool to New
York and Boston, and tti9 line from New York to
Havre and the other European ports, provided a
sufficient steam tobnage to answer the necessities
of New York in her prosperous days. But since
the Southern States have sundered all connection
with the North, they have wrested from New Yurk
the monopoly she has heretofore enjoyed of the
immense commerce of the South. The result is,
on one hand, that it may safely be affirmed that
these lines of steamers will no longer obtain re
munerative freights, and that any new line be
tween France and New York would not only fail
to pay, but it would not actually be able to sus
tain itself; while, on the other hand, direct inter
course with the Confederate States offers to steam
and sailing vessels a free, wide, and almost unlim
ited field.
“The exportations- of the Confederate States
will amount to about $150,000,000 per annum,
and their importations will nearly balance that
sum. Who, then, can doubt, tor one moment.,
that vessels trading directly between Franco and
the Confederate States will obtain the most abun
dant freight ? The commercial activity arising
from railways and trans-atlantic steamers will as
sure to France the command of the import and ex
port trade of the countries which bouud her on
the north and east, as well as the postal service of
those countries.
“During tbe winter months, when trade is most
active, when immense quantities of cotton and
tobacco arrive from the Southern States, the ports
of Baltimore are closed by ice, while those ol
France remain open and accessible.
“Before the discovery of the telegraph the en
tire correspondence between Europe and North
America was transported by the steamers running
between Liverpool aud New York, and largely con
tributed to the profits of the companies. Bui now
that the telegraph transmits the most impo-tant
news, before the arrival of the. steamers at tlieir
destination, tbe rapid transportation of mail mat
ter has become far less a necessity. A direct ser
vice bet ween France and the Confederate States,
while assuring a sufficient postal dispatch,-would
effect a considerable economy in transporting the
mails directly to their destination, instead of
going out of their way through Liverpool and
New York.
“Altbongh it is clearly evident that the im
mense import and export trade about to be es
tablished between Europe and the Confederate
States will yield magnificent profits to a. steam
ship company, it nray nat be without utility
briefly to recapitulate the principal elements
which will tend to secure the success of such au
enterprise.
“Nearly the entire export and import intercourse
of the United States (almost three fourths) will
be carried oh directly between Europe and the
Confederate States. This intercourse iias hitherto
been of great aid to the steamers running between
New York aud Boston and Europe. About itkt,-
GUO inhabitants of the South have hitherto an
nually troT-elled iii the North. Admitting that
only one fifth of tho number (20,000) wilt now
visit Europe instead, at a rate of 8130 passage
fare, to and from Europe, we arrive at the sum of
twenty-six millions of francs ($5,200,000) from
passengers atone.
“If to tliis be added the transportation of the
mads and full cargoes, going aud coming, it is
evident that tlie first lines which shall be estab
lished. aud shall, by advantageous contracts with
the railways, assure to themselves continual and
regular freights, which will be easy of accomplish
ment, will command the commercial position and
realize splendid profits.
“As regards the question of coal, I may state
that the Baltimore Company, which supplies the
best coal to the Cunard line, at New York,
has offered to deliver the same coal at the same
price ($4 50, or U-2& francs, per ton.) at Savan
nah.”

Capt. Thomas F. Meagher, we are credibly in
formed, has undergone a complete conversion. A
gentleman who has been on a visit to Rio, hao-
peued to he in Washington on the memorable 21st,
and conversed with a Roman Catholic clergyman,
who had then just parted with Mr. Meagher.—
The latter is represented as stating that he had
never seeu or heard of such determined bravery—
nor did he believe it was equalled in history—as
that manifested by the Southern troops. They
were evidently actuated by a love of liberty, felt
that they were defending their liberties, deserved
liberty, and rather than fight again against them,
lie would volunteer in their cause. Our inform
ant states, iu audition, that the telegram which
represents the Sixty-ninth Regiment as ready and
willing to re-enlist, is totally false. Of all the
“Grand Army,” th s regiment bore itself the most
gallantly at Manassas; but it is satisfied. Its
members have been shamefully misled and delu
ded. and they return home to New York imme
diately, sorely repenting of ever having placed
confidence in (Republican falsehoods. Our friend
adds that the consternation in Washington, upon
the arrival there of the “Grand Army” of tha
Illinois Xerxes, was indiscribable. Every new ar
rival added to tho terror of prominent Republi
cans. Yon could meet men, who, in the morning
were loud for war, now witli blanched cheeks and
