A ray of Trntb,
Mr Conway, Member of the U S Congress from
Kansas, made the following admission, on the
lluur of the //ouse of Representatives, a few days
ago.
Mr Conway (Rep ) of Kansas, contended that
the conflict which has been progressing for nine
months has changed its original character. From
oi attempt to put down an insurrection it has set-
!:•"! into deliberate war We beve not encouuter-
e 1 the enemy in any battle in which we have won
an ui.questionable victory. With the exception
of the advantages gained by two expeditious on
the Southern coast, our arms have everywhere been
overborne, notwithstanding our volunteers hive
displayed a gallantry rarely cq tailed The gener
al purposes ot the government tiave been defeated,
and the rebels have secured with nations a bellig
or- ntcharacter, in derogation of their responsibili
ty to the Federal Union.
CHow this plain statement nails to tho counter all
xhs lying accounts of the northern Telegraph,
newspapers, aud official Federal reports of the bat'
tics between the Federalists and the Confederates '

Opinion of (hr Ollierr* of (he Crown.
The London Observer says :
‘‘The Queen’s Advocate, Sir John Harding, At
torney General Sir William Atlierstnne, and the So
licitor General Mr Rowndall Palmier, have been in
frequent personal communication with the govern
ment during the last few days.
The Times ot the 28tb says the depositions of the
officers of the Trent hav u been submitted to the
lavv officers of the Crown, and their opinion has
been given that the proceedings of the American
frigate are not justified b.v the law of nations. It
is, we understood the opinion of these jurists that
the right of the Federal Government, acting by il
officers, was confined to the visiting and the search
ing of the mail packet; and if any men or things
believed to be contraband of war had been found
• >n board of her. the proper course was to take her
nto port and submit the question to the Prize
Court, which would hear evidence and argument
on both sides, and would have decided the case ac
cording to precedent and authorities. The Times
observes that this proposition seems so clear that
it requires only to be stated to obtain universal as
sent. The Cabinet meets on Friday to consider
what action shall be taken on the opinion of the
law officers. We do not wish to speculate as to
what steps they may consider necessary. If Ma
son and Slidell were wrongly taken, they must be
restored, with sufficient apology.
Death of Col. E. C. Bullolk.—It is our mel
ancholy task to record the death of Col. E. 0. Bul
lock, of the 13th Alabama regiment, stationed near
Mobile. He died this tnoruing, of typhoid fever,
at the residence of Dr. Win. O. Baldwin in this city.
Col. Bullock was. wo believe a native of Charles
ton, S. C. He lmd resided in Barbour county,
Ala., a number of years, and was highly esteemed
throughout the Srate. In point of intellect his po
sitiens as a member of the Bar, of the State Sen
ate, and of the Press, (he was long the editor of
the Eufaula Spirit of the South,) abundantly at
tested that a longer life was only necessary to
have enabled him to attain the loftiest rounds of
the ladder of fame. He was a leading member of
each of these callings.
The age of deceased was probably 35 to 40 years.
We learn that the remains will be taken to Bar
bour for interment.

A Stray leaf from Memory’* P»|t.
“Do you know that lady on the opposite side of
the street 7” asked my friend of me, as we sat in
her vine-covered porch, trying to while away the
hours of a sultry summer’s day.
Immediately I turned my eyes in the direction
mentioned, but not being able to cateh a glimpse
of the face, and failing to recognise the form, re
plied. in a careless tona:
“No, I believe not.”
‘Well, yon ought to know,” responded my
friend, “for. if I mistake not, it is one of whom you
thought a great deal in day* gone by.”
“Ah. indeed !” returned I. my interest awaken
ed, and scanning with a closer eye the neatly-
dressed lady who walked slowly tip the street.—
“Pray . do satisfy my curiosity, for I have not the
least idea who she can be, and really, I am too
lazy to try my hand at gues*ittg : the intense heat
this afternoon having unfit me for the least men
tal exertion.”
“Well.then.it is no other than Mrs. D , former
ly Miss Kale R , the music-teacher in our Female
Instituie.”
“Indeed! ready!” said I much astonished:
and now I wondered at my own obtuseness, for—
as I gazed at the retreating form with a look so
bold, 6o penetrating that it probably would have
met with a relink* had the owner been aware of the
fact—my mind was fully satisfied that it was the
very same being whom, years ago I had so ardent
ly so devotedly loved. True, the form had lost its
girlish trimness, but there was the same winning
toss of the little head, the same light, elastic tread ;
and as she di-appeared from view, I turned eager
ly to my friend, inquiring :
“How did she marry, and whom—and where
does she live ?’’
‘ Oh.” responded she, “she married Charlie D.,
the object of her choice. He is a young lawyer of
great promise. They have two interesting little
sons—are doing wed, and live in the large white
house upon the hill in our rear.”
Having thus briefly and explicitly answered my
inquiries, my friend retired into the house to at
tend to some household affairs, while I, left to my
self. reclined lazily in the chair ; my mind, in the
meantime, wandering with lightning speed back,
far b«'-k, into the dteamy, misty past. The leal- f
lets ot memory were unclasped, and with-u their
pages were pencilled b-'fore my mental vision, the
thousand incidents that colored the pathway of my
childhood hours; pictures, life-portraits of those 1
loved, came up before me, and 1 forgot the preseut
while musing of by gone days. Miss R was n u
sic-teaciier in the college at 8. Although passi- n-
ately fond of music, I was not one of her pupils
that science, for iny parents felt unable to incur the
expense ; hut, in common with the w hole school. 1
enjoyed tho privilege of receiving daily instate
tions from her in vocal music. Well do I retnem
her the first time I entered Miss K's. presence, ana
the impressions my mind received while gazing
with childish curiosity upon her sweet expresstv
features. Tnere was always in my nature a chord
strongly attuned to whatever was sad and plain
live I dearly loved the sighing of the wind
among the trees ; it seemed to breathe a language
my heat t understood. To my ears there was some
thing pleasant in the continued patter of the rain
drop. against the window-glass ; and the melan
choly notes of the whip-poor-will at eventide
awoke in my bosom an answering echo. Music
poetry and paintings at all times elictited my child
ish admiration, but far more when they breathed or
reflected something sweet and sad. Amongst my
companions I was gay and fr.fficksome, lond ut
sport, and entering with zest into all their schemes
for amusement; but it was only when some skilful
hand touched aright the plaintive chord in my na
tore that I was found to be other than a wild and
careless creature. It was this sad and undetinable
expression upon the countenance of Miss R. which
drew me first so irresistibly towards her, and en
ded in creating in my young heart an interest, an
affection for her, as pure aud holy as it was las
ting A shade of sorrow continually rested upon
her brow, as if something troubled h. r. How 1
longed to comfort and console ! My childish pity
at length ripened into love, and the tendrils of my
little heart kept twining closer and yet closer
around my teacher, until each waning day fouud
me impatiently longing tor the welcome hour to en
ter her presence. But this strange, mysterious
feeling was all a secret in my own heart. She was
totally unconscious with what reverence the plain-
looking little girl, who so often ceased singing to
gaze upon Iter face, regarded herself, she never
dreamed wbat music there was to me in the sound
ot her approaching tootsteps, what magic in the
gentle touch of her soft hand, or how my young
heart thrilled with delight to hear my name pro
nounced by her sweet lips I was considered a
good singer fora child, aud was extremely fond of
the exercise ; but often in a capricious mood my
voice wou.d cease to warble with my companions ;
then one soft glance from her loving eyes would
instantly charm away all unpleasant humor, and
cause my tongue to send forth again its melody.—
The sweeiest flowers I could find were gathered
for Miss R , and oh, how my little heart gladdened
when, in offering them, my own sunburnt hand
touched hers, so soft and white!
Upon one occasion a friend gave me a reward—
a large, nice, rosy pipkin. The fruit was carried
to school and displayed, and ray companions ea
gerly waited to share with me its juicy, tempting
sweet*. But, no ; it was for my singing te-cber.
Miss R.; and with, what delight did 1 bound for
ward, as siie descended the steps after school, amt
place in her hand my rosy apple: Far sweeter to
my heart was her pleasant ‘Thank you,’ accompa
nied with that winning smile I so loved to see.thau
a thousand such apples to my childish palate.—
Time roiled ou. I left the Institute, but I never
ceased to remember the sad, loving face that so of
ten sat at the piano, looking wearied and troubled.
Wherever I have roamed it has haunted me, and
my child-love, though cankered by the rust of years,
its memory still comes over me like some pleasant
dream, some vision too bright, too pure to last —
She, perhaps, has torgotteu my existence. Alas !
what changes old Time ca
But right then the cheerful sound of the supper-
bell awoke nte trom my reverie ; the past fled like

conld have been devised to supply the St*to with [ seizure bjr enemies within, as well as from
capture by foes without. Uy agreement
by the States named, such as was effected
for similar purpose by Michigan and Ohio
and by Missouri and Iowa, their bounda-
daries could be so changed as to render
the capital more romote than at present
from the influence of State governments
which have arrayed themselves in rebel
lion against the Federal authority. To
this end, the limits of Virginia might be
so altered as to make her boundaries con
sist of the Bine Ilidge on the east and
Pennsylvania on the north leaving those
on the south and west as at present. By
this arrangement two counties of Mary
land (Alieghany and Washington) would
be transfered to the jurisdiction of Vir
ginia. All that portion of Virginia which
lies between the Blue Ridge and Chesa
peake Bay could then be added to Mary
land, while that portion of the peninsular
between the water of the Che-apeake and
the Atlantic, now jointly held by Mary
land and Virginia, could be incorporated
into to State of Delaware. A reference
to the map will show that those are great
natural boundaries, which for all time to
come, would serve to mark the limits of
these States. To make the protection
of the capital complete, in consideration
of the large accession of territory which
Maryland would receive under the arrange
ment proposed, it would be. necessary that
the State should consent so to modify her
constitution as to limit the basis of her
representation to her white population.
A reference to a map of the United
States will show that this proposition
amounts to neither more no'r less than the
ipingout of the rebel State of Virginia
and the parcelling out of its tevitory among
the loj al States of Kanawha (Western
Virginia), Maryland and Delaware The
map of the repion in question which we
publish to-day will enable cur readers
to see this at aglattce. The Blue
Ridge is to be the eastern boun
dary of the State It is nowthe
eastern boundary of Kanawha, and tho
two Maryland counties of Alleghany and
Washington, now lying between Pennsyl
vania and Virginia, are to be added to th •
new State, so as to run the teritory
straight to the Pennsylvania line. But.
as a large recompense to Maryland for this
cession of teritory that State is to have
its teritory extended westward throughout
Eastern Virginia till it meets the Blue
Ridge, which is proposed as its western
boundary. This will enlarge Maryland
into a great and populous State, which
will include Norfolk, Fredericksburg,
Petersburg. Richmond and all the tobacco
growing and slave raising region. Dela
ware is also to come in lor a share of the reb
el States, and is to have the two peninsula
counties of Accomac (formerly Wise’s
shire) and Northamton, now in possession
of our troops and manifesting loyalty to
the Federal Government.
The portion of Virginia thus proposed
to be ceded to Maryland is known in the
local geogtaphical distinctions in the State
as the Tide-water districts and the Pied
mont district. The former contains thirty
seven counties, bordering on the Atlantic
and Chesapeake Bay, and the latter thir
ty-two counties The Tide-water lands are
represented by that venerable rebel, Ed
mund Ruflin, in an address which be de
livered some years ago to have increased
in value §12,000.000 in twelve years. It
bv far the wealthiest portion of the
State, producing the great bulk of the
tobacco crop, which is Virginia’s princi
pal staple. The chief manufactures of the
State are comprised within this region.
The counties of Accomac and Northamp
ton from the southern portion of the pen
insula, lying between Chesapeake Bay and
the Atlantic, of which the northern coun
ties constitute the State of Delaware.—
'J hey belong geographically to that State
and for that reason, if there were no other,
they should be annexed to it. They con
tain, together, some 16,000 inhabitant, and
are principally valuable for their fisher
ies.
On the other hand, Alleghany and Wash
ington counties, which are sandwiched in
between the northern boundary of Penn
sylvania, belong geographically to Virgin
ia. The former has an acre of 800 square
iles. Its extreme length is sixty-five
miles, its breadth varying front seven to
thirty-five miles. It is principally adap
ted to grazing and dairy farms; but it has
great mineral wealth in the celebrated
Cumberland coal mines. Its population is
about 25,000, including some GOO slaves.
Washington is a great wheat growing coun
ty, having an area of about 480 square
miles. Its annual product of wheat
averages about a million bushels. Its
principal minerals are iron and lime-stone.
There are several cotton factories located
on its streams. Its population is some
34,000, of which over 2,000 are slaves.
Mr. Cameron, in presenting this propo
sition to Congress, simply puts it upon
the ground of propriety and expediency.
He suggests that this reconstruction of
State lines will withdraw from the Federal
capital the influence of State governments
which have arrayed themselves in rebel
lion against the Federal authority. And
he adds, as an additional reason, that the
lines proposed trom great national bounda
ries, which, for all time to come, would
jections to the proposition—the former; snch a territory by military power. And’*
receiving such e large accession of rich,can such a work, accomplished by such
and populous territory, and little Dela-i means, be made to agree with Republican
ware being also enlarged into something
like a respectable size. The only condi
tion precedent which Mr. t'ameron seeks
to have imposed upon Maryland is, that,
in exchange for this boon,she should con
sent to modify her constitution so as to
limit the basis of her representation to her
white population. Iu other words, she
must forego her claim to have her slave
population rated on the three-fifth basis.
That is a slight concession to ask—a con
cession which, in fact. Western Virginia
had all but wrung trom Eastern Virginia
and the dispute about which was one of the
ogreat causes of contention between tbe two
sections of the State.
The wonderful change of sentiment
that has taken place in Maryland since
April last, and her present attitude of
loyalty, furnish proof that she can safely
be calculated to do her share in this mat
ter. The message which the Governor of
Maryland sent yesterday to the Legisla
ture is instructive on the score of her po
sition. The Governor takes the ground
boldly’ and squarely t!.at tho rebellion
must be put dowu, no matter at wliat just,
and that tbe State must, bear Iter full
share ofthe burden of doing so. He ur
ges the immediate raising and equipping
of the State quota of volunteers for the
war, and the payment of her portion of
the national tax. In other words, Mary
land places herself, so far as the position
of her Governor can do so, on as high a
standpoint of loyalty asany r free State of
the North.
(if course the position of the Secretary
of \\ ar assumes no practical positions un
less Congress shall take it up and act upon
it. If C ongress do so, the proposition may
undergo many important changes and
modifications. It will give rise, if taken
up at ail, to very’ grave and important
discussions. We have no doubt that the
proposition, iu its general features, com
mends itself to the sanction and approval
ofthe community at large, as the best and
fittest measure of retributive justice that
can be inflicted on a lcbellious communi
ty. In that view there will be few loyal
men that will regret its consummation.

COURT CALLENDER FOR 1802.
SUPERIOR COURTS.
The forward Movement said to have begun—The
Cincinnati Commercial says that tbe grand forward
movement tor a winter campaign, as contemplated
by Gun McClellan, has actually begun, and for
proof refers to tbe advance of Gen. Buell's array
(6,1,000) strong) to Green river. It adds :
That a general advance is in progress, is further
indicated by the marching from Louisville, on
Monday, ot the 2d, 31st, 24th, 6th, 9th. loth, 2tsf.,
aud 33d Ohio regiments Gen McCleliau’s plan
is well understood to be that a simultaneous ad-1 serve to mark the limits of these States,
vance shall take place-on tho Mississippi, against The rea j mot iv 0 which has induced the
Columbus, Kentucky; in central Kentucky, upon
Bowling Green ; from Romney, upon Winchester;
from the Potomac into eastern Virginia ; from For
tress Monroe upon Yorktowu or Norfolk ; and that
Butler’s, Burnside’s, and Shi rman's coast expedi
tious shall iiu.ko demonstrations at the same time.
If this be the caso—aud we do n..t profess to have
other official or semi official information—move-
m 'its at all important points may be expected
when one takes place ; aud the forward movement
in Kentucky is tiie signal of a general advance.
Iu addition to the above, we have the following,
from the Chicago Journal of Tuesday evening:
We learn that Capt. Paulding, who has charge
of the recruiting service of the Northwest, with his
headquarters in Chicago, received orders last night
(hat d -feat, and only defeat, has attended the Fed
eral Army, ill all of its encounters with the Con
federal-* on land. Let the South possess its son*
in patience, after this.. Even Bull Run was called
a Federal Victory ; and now we have the a th'ority
of a Federal member of Cotigtess for saying that
the bi.ttc of Belmont, where we fought against
great oods, was a Confederate victory ! The truth
wil. ,eak out after awhile.

tage to holders and intended speculators. The fact
that the Bermuda arrived with cotton is due solely
to the circumstance that site took out an immense
cargo ot clothing, arms, and ammunition to the
Confederates—articles in which the Southerners

d*-r to Capt. Paulding, taken in connection with
the fact that the Western naval flag officer has,
within a day or two, transferred his headquarters
from tst. Louis to < airo, would seem to indicate bu
siness.
The St. Louis Democrat sees no indications of a
their service to the Confederates, the owners and
Captain of the Bermuda were given gratuitously
the whole of the cotton they brought to Havre It
was expressly intimated to them that no cotton
would he allowed to go to Europe, except in ves
sels which brought into Southern ports articles of
prime necessity.
In proof of this we may state that the Captain
of the Helena, which arrived ar Liverpool yester
day. direct from the South, was obliged to take out
of his vessel no less than 25(1 baits of cotton, the
j private property of the owners of tho vessel, whose

The SHatc Bond Change Bills.
The act passed by the Legislature of Georgia,
and approved bv the Governor, “to authorize the
Superintendent of the W. & A Railroad, o- this
State to issue change bills,” provides for the issue
of $200,000 in bills of one dollar, fifty, twenty-
five, ten and five cents, which bills are made re
ceivable in payment of taxes and all other dues to
the State, as well as dues to the railroad ; and for
their redemption, the railroad, its fixtures, property
and revenues, together with the faith of the State,
are pledged. The bills are made redeemable in
current bank notes whenever presented in sums of
five dollar* and upwards, and their is*ue is to
cease upon the resumption of specie payments by
t be banks of the State. The So perintendent is re
quired. on demand, to furnish to the Treasurer of
each eonnty iu the State as much as $50 in these
change bills, in exchange for current bank notes.

The Northera Press and the War.
Wc have complete files of late North
ern papers.— We make from them some
interesting extracts as showing the North
ern temper and spirit on the subjects of
the war. We begin with the following
remarkable article:
[From the New York Herald.]
Dismcmbo merit of rebel Virginia—the old
dominion to be cut up and partitioned
among loyal states— Virginia to suffer
the same destiny as Poland—description
of the regions proposed to be divided
up, Sfc , tyc.
In the report of the Secretary of War,
the following strikiug, nova! and highly
important proposition is made:
The geographical position of the metro
polis of the nation menaced by tbe rebels
and required to be defended by thousands
of our troops, induces me to suggest for
consideration the propriety and expedien
cy of a re-construction of the boundaries
of the States of Delaware; Maryland and
Virginia. Wisdom and true statesmanship
would dictate that the seat of the nation
al government, for all time to come, should
be placed beyond reasonable danger of
recommendation, and which will commend
it to the warm approval of the whole
country, is not even hinted at. It is kept
sedulously out of sight. Why, we can
not say. The Secretary should have
strengthened the reason assigned with
this one which he has not assigned, but
which is, nevertheless, the all powerful
one —namely, that a dismemberment of
the rebel State of Virginia, and a partition
ing "f her territory among States that have
remained loyal to the government, is the
most effective, appropriate aud memorable
punishment that can be inflicted upon
iter. Faithless to her Federal duties, re
gardless ofthe memories of her great men,
false to her own and to the national in
terests, she cast her lot in with those wild,
reckless, fanatical visionaries ofthe cotton
States, and made her soil the battle-ground
between civilization and barbarism. Hav
ing done so, she deserves no sort of com-
misscration. The sternest punishment
that can be inflicted on her is still far too
mild for her crimes. But yet that one
v ltich is suggested in the report of the
Secretary of War is just the one of all
others that will most humble the pride of
her sons, and that, will stand to all future
ages beacon light to warn other States
off the rocks on which she split.
There are constitutional difficulties in
the way of dismembering and partitioning
States. The act must be acceeded to by
the States concerned as well as by’ the
Federal Congress. But Secretary Cam
eron recognizing this, still see how it can
be done without violating the constitution.
He adduces precedents in the cases of
Michigan and Ohio, Missouri and Iowa,
where State boundaries were changed by
mutual agreement, and he suggests that
the same can be done here. And so it
can. The new State of KaDawha will
readily give its assent, receiving, as it
will, the counties of Maryland and Wash
ington, and having its State existence
recognized and established by the gener
al government. It may assume the ap
pellation of the parent State, so that the
once honoured name of Virginia, the moth
er of statesmen and presidents, may not
be effaced from the national escutch
eon.
It is not to be supposed that either
Maryland or Delaware will interpose ob-

The Orand Army of llie Fotonanr and its
“Young IVapolroUo”
The inactions of the army* before Wash
ington must have disappointed America as
it has astonished all Europe. We know
not the force of that army : it may be, it
probably has been, greatly* exaggerated.—
It is often talked of as 180,000 or 220,000,
or 250,00q men. It may be, practically,
less than half of the smallest of these num
bers—it may be only* 80,000. Still, to
Europe, it is a new and strange sight to see
an army of even 80.000 men, commanded
by a young and aspiring general, lying for
a whole month in a state of absolute inac
tion, with the enemy* immediately in its
front. The Americans are fond of imagin
ing that, in General McClellan, they have
found another Napoleon. But it was not
after this fashion that Napoleon conducted
his first campaign. When lie set forth at
the head of a force of about one-half of SO,-
000 men, he said, i‘In a month 1 shall eith
er be at Milan or back in Paris.” And he
kept his word. “But the American army
consists of new levies ” Well, and so does
the army on the other side. And fully
one-half of Wellington’s little army of 67,-
006 men at Waterloo consisted of English
and German militia, who had never before
6eeu a battle-field. Our trans-atlantic
brethren must te aware of these facts,
and must feel as we have said, disappoint
ed at an inaction and fruitless waste of | Mol,t R omur >
money which has astonished all Europe.—
But the new course which they have just
adopted must lead, we suppose, to some
immediate and important results A lar.
licet, carrying some 20,000 soldiers, has
just left New York for some port in the
South—probably for New Orleans, and
now, with their usual sanguine anticipa
tions, wc arc assured that the Mississippi
will be in the possession of the United
States Government in November, and that
cotton will be loading at that port for Liver
pool long before Christmas. It will be
nothing at all surprising if the former part
of this anticipation should be realized.—
Apparenfly the strength of the armament
sent forth is far greater than the Southern
Government can be prepared to resist at
any single point.
Hence, to hear before the second week
in November that New Orleans has been
bombarded and taken, need surprise no
one. But it does not follow, as sanguine
New Yorkers imagine, that this first suc
cess will end the war. About fifty years
ago England sent forth an armament, and
6eized the island of Walcheren, in the
Scheldt. But, after staying there three
months, the troops re-embarked and came
home again, bringing with them "the Wal
cheren fever.” In 1852-4 a united force
of English and French landed in Sebasto
pol; but many* a weary month passed over,
and fully 30,l>00 men were buried in the
trenches, before the whole power of Eng
land and France could obtaiu possession
of so much as one-half of the beleagur-
ed town. In 1812 the French marched,
almost unopposed, into the aucient capi
tal of Russia; but, after staying there
two or three months; they were glad
enough to decamp, and did not succeed in
carrying back even one fourth of their ar
my into Poland. So wise was the warn
ing given of old, “Let not him who is only
putting on his armour boast as if he were
putting it off.” The expedition to New
Orleans will succeed, fully and finally, if
the Southern Confederates are not thor
oughly in earnest, but nothing else. All
that wo can clearly see is, that if the
Southern States are really in earnest, it
is impossible for the North to obtain any
success worth having. Ten millions of
people may be kept in subjection by twen
ty millions; but the task of keeping them
down is a terrible one. and “the game is
not worth the candle.” As Mr Smith O’
Brien remarked tbe other day, “the South
ern States occupy a territory larger than
the continent of Europe,” and it woald re
quire an army of 500,000 men to hold
