An incident oi the most palpable robbery and mean ness was related us by one of the crew of the Petrel: Previous to the departure of the crew, a number of noble-hearted la dies in Baltimore, made up a supply o1 excellent clothing, and sent it to them at New York, in the care of First Lieut. Harvey, of the Petrel. When the crew reached “Pea Patch Island,” ^ off the Delaware coast, where the\ • . were to be shipped for home, the cloth ing was handed over to the charge of Capt. Gibson, the Yankee command ant of the post, who, upon the appli cation of the men to whom it belong ed, refused to give if to them, saying that they all had enough clothing without wanting an}* more, and inform ing them that he should distribute it among his own men, or those who had taken or would take the oath o; j , allegiance. One of the crew, Hefln I A. Rowan, of Charleston, S. C., re monstrated with the Commandant, and 1 boldly stated to him that the clothing i did not belong to him nor to the Fed-1 eral Government, but was bought and i Thr IVay to War ami Ihr Way to K’cncc.

But if he should be compelled to fight a bloody battle to regain the strong position at tin Gap, which he evacuated two month ago, or shall suffer the enemy to escap. without capture, he will take position as a bad strategist.

The delusions are exploded by facts. Why does not the war, there fore. cease? There are many answers to this ques tion; but we will propose but one. The men and the party in power in the l niteil .States can never coluntarihj make a peace with the Confederate States.

But neither the elements of peace at the North, nor the commercial and industrial interest of Europe, can rise to potency or exercise any command ing influence in this struggle, until tlui the Confederate States satisfy the work] of military power competent to inde pendence. We should not deceive ourselves by laying too much stress upon the party talk and opposition at the North. The opposition must get strong enough to defeat at the polls the party in power, and before that can be done a great change will have to take place. We are the people to and it can be done only by a vigorous and successful I conduct of the war. The elections at ! the North come off this fall.

The people of the South should assid uously seek out, and hold up to public scorn and reprobation, those miserable and soulless extortioners—and their name is legion—who are swelling their coffers by a heartless speculation on the necessities of the people. Many of these persons “take .in” money until it almost ceases to have value even in their eyes—they make it so easily!

The Southern States have not trespassed upon the rights of the people of Indiana, nor do they propose to do so.

X blast from NewardN Organ—I.fr-sson for Ihc U nr r l Iif* Albany Evening Journal (Seward’s organ) thinks‘the war has been astern -clioolmasfer to the people of the loyal States.’ It says: We have learned (lie folly of underra- ing our enemies. We have learned that hey are equally brave, equally hardy, equally quick witted, equally endowed •frith martial qualities with ourselves. We rive learned that they are torliblv in •iimest in tlieir efforts to achieve tlieir •nds; that they are desperate in their re- odve to divorce themselves from ns : that hey are determined to resist our efforts to •onquerthem to the hitler end. We have earned that they are as wary as they are itiscrupulotis ; that they are as cunning as hey are depraved ; that they are as quick o take advantage of our weakness, our 'danders a,nd our indecision. We have icarued that they aie fully our peeTs in nilitary capacity, and that as soldiers, hey make up in dash what they lack in -.olid hardihood. W have learned that lie very despotism that exists among them gives them a compactness and unity which ve d<> not and cannot possess. We have learned how little active eo- meration we are to expect from the Union dement of the extreme {south. We have earned that that element, even rvliere nost prevalent, is timid, torpid, doubtful, icgative ; that it needs watchers to sit *} and nuise it; that it is often tieacher- *us and couir.erieit; that in many instin- •es it is rather a stumbling block in our ray than a prop aud auxiliary. \\ e have earned that, little by little, the poison of ecession has spread among the people— hat lirtle hy little it has possessed and ■razed them, until public sentiment has in many sections become almost a unit. Wc have learned the folly of expecting -ympathy from foreign Governments and roreign people. We have learned that wo ire iiated most cordially where we had reason to look for moral support ; that we stand to-day apart and. isolated. We lave learned that we must not only fight he good fight unassisted, but under the shadow of the frowns of Europe. We have learned that slavery, instead of being an element of weakness, is an ele ment of strength to the reluds. We have learned that it is one of their chief props a fid staffs of support; that the four million i>f blacks held in bondage are used as ef fective weapons with which to light and oppose us. vv e have learned that we can not successfully fight the enemy and pro tect the ‘the institution’ at the saute time; and that if we ever hope to succeed we must leave the latter to its fate. We have learned that the contest be tween us and the Confederates is reduced to a question of pure brute force. We have learned that the arm that can strike hardest, and the foot that can stand firm est. and the brain that can plot surest, "ill win the day. We have learned that it '■.ill no longer do to ‘play war;’ that it "ill no longer do to administer emolients; that the uisoa-e is of that virulent nature, that it demands the most active remedies. We have learned that there is no middle ground—no half-way* house between ab- solute triumph and absolute vassalage.
