77171 WAR lies been full of incidents and
changes, tad some of them are unite amusing.
A year ago the North was on the defensive
and the South on the offensive. An exultant
foe was proclaiming its triumph in every por
tion of the country and boldly planning the
capture of the Northern cities and the devasta
tion of the Northern States. rebel army
swarmed along the banks of the Potomac,
ml
litia men guarded the Long Bridge, and the
heights o' Washington were traced by rebel
engineers for rebel batteries. BEAturacienn
established his headqunters within a day's
ride of Washington, and was massing his
recruits abouttbe fastnesses of gull Rua.
St. Louis was considered to be in danger,
and fortificatons were built around it. Keb
tacky was still tremblidg in.the balance, and
Many good citizens of Louis;ille were dread
ing a visit from the rebel General &maim-
Maryland was still tilled with active conspira
tors, and armed uprisings were dreaded by
the Union men.
Look at the change ! Instead of a rebel'
army being within five miles of Waitangi:on,
a Union army is *Jilin five miles of Rich.
mond. Instead of a foe. triumphantly invad
ing the city of Washington, the foe lies
trampled under the walls of Richmond. la..- .
stead of concentrating the rebels for the de
struction cf the Federal capital, JOHNSTON has
received the severest defeat of the war. In
stead of proclaiming his purpose to attack
Philadelphia and New York, .TIFFERSON Days
Is despatching his wife and children to the
Cotton States, and preparing for a fight or.
flight. St. Louis is the centre of a great Union
community. Pares has been driven from
Missouri; Kentucky is represented by her
loyal legions in the battle-field; Maryland has
redeemed herself by the bravery of her Keit-
LET, and Tennessee and Arkansas, Texas and
Louisiana, have been snatched from the fearful
abyss to which they had fallen, and are now
•
repentant members of the Crnion;
This year has brought with it changes in •
politics, as well as in country. A year ago,
we bad a defiant party whose leaders were
boldly proclaiming a humiliating peace and a
compromise with traitors. BLEOICINRIDGE
walked the Senate chamber defiant and full of
menace, the loader of the Northern Secession
party, aid the representative of their brothers
In arms against the Union. The leaders of a
great political organization were boldly bar
gaining their country's honor for the purpose Of
gratif ing personal ambition. Schemes of
peace, plans for conventions and compro
mises, the degradation of the North and the
exaltation of the Smith, were plentiful as the
leavep upon the trees. It seemed as if we had • ,
yet to learn the lessons of personal and politl
cal self-respect, and in the hearts of all good
inert there was a feeling of sadness and •
despair. Treason was in arms against the
country, it was in arms against our peace and
our pride ; it fullowed us into the church,
into our homes, into our domestic circles,
Into every relation of business and lite. It
murdered our brothers upon the field, and .
divided and distracted us at home. Now we
see the enemies of the country disheal•tened
and dismayed—their chosen leader, BOSOMS
ROO; following the logical conclusion of his
position. An enemy of his country, but
braver and bolder than thousands of his truest
friends and most trusted followers, he has
drawn the sword against the Republic which
be conspired in vain to slay as a Sinter.
There is no longer that active devotion
which manifested itself in open and dishonora
ble prOposals for a settlement of the war. We
do not know whether we have entirely crushed
the feeling of dissatisfaction and disaffection,
but we know that we have virtually hushed it.
We see it bobble up occasionally in social cir
cles, manifesting itself in smiles over our dis
comfiture, and shrugs over our triumphs in
coldness and inhumanity, in platitudes about
the Conatitation and generalities about tha
113HiOti, in sneers at Mr. LINCOLN and the Ad
ministration, in scoffing at our soldiers and
scowling over their successes. But it is under
the bushel—it does not seek the light of day—
it haunts inner chambers and dark recesses,
and lives by the glimmering light of the dark
lantern. Its followers meet, as assassins only
meet, away from the association and knowledge
of honest men. We hear it •in whispers, as
something mysterious, dreadful, incomprehen
sible, and hardly to be believed. We know its
midden ebullitions of feeling, in small political
triumphs which can be traced to extraneous
causes, and in unceasing spirit of intrigue
against the friends of the Administration.
13ut it is no longer what it was. It no longer
possesses the power, the substance, the mean
ing, the forca of other days. It is the shadow
of the organization of a year ago; the mere
dregs in the wino cup, the debris of an aban-
doned and polluted political sanctuary.
If the Year has its contrasts, it has also its
lessons. If, in many respects, the tables are
turned, it is our duty to keep them from
balancing over. Because we have triumphed
by the help of God, and our own good
soldiers, we must make that triumph en
during by self devotion, self-denial, courage,
and candor. ' We must conciliate one another
in order that we may be strong enough to re
ject the conciliations, of a deceitful foe. We
must compromise our minor differences that
we may combat the great difference that now
,arrays treason againat loyalty. We must no
longer see through a glass darkly. We must
.cast away the shadows of old partisan faith
.and party proclivities of discipline, tradition,
said education. We must see the path that
lies before ns brightening with the sunshine
of our coun 4 ry's common glory, and leading
to a hereafter beyond the conception and the
imagination of man. This is the truest lesson
the year brings to us, and we read it in its
changes, its contrasts, and its great events.

LETTER FROM " OCCASION AL."
Wesninarox, June 2, 1862.
The fall of Corinth will be followed by the
fall of Richmond. The bead of the serpent
will not only be bruised, but. crushed, and'ivhat
vitality is left must linger feebly in the extre
mities. The battle of yesterday, before Rich-
mond, was precipitated by the rebels, in
the desperate . hope of breaking the coil
of General McClellan's anaconda, and
their repulse and slaughter leave the
Union army ' solid' and confident, and
themselves demoralized and panic-strioken.
I write. early in the morning, before the ex
pected details of Sunday's conflict, and the
operations which undoubtedly succeeded it,
have reached Washington. But enough is
known to render certain the complete success
of our arms, and to prove that the traitors can
no longer keep the field save in small bands'of
marauders and murderers. A gentleman just
in from the column of Halleck gives it as his
opinion that Beauregard will be forced to dis
band his troops and to seek safety in flight.
alleges that be is completely hemmed in, and
that he cannot escape tho net-work that has
been thrown around him. If these theories
are sustained by the events of the next few
hours or days, the rebel chiefs will hasten from
the scenes of their depredations and defeats to
avoid the vengeance of the Federal Govern
ment. It is believed that many of thorn have
made preparations for this exodus. They
will attempt to escape into A6xico or
South America, and au idea is thrown obit
that they may make a last stand in Texas.
But all of them cannot get away. McClellan
ought to secure Davis and the chief conspira
tors, who, if their deeds are half as bold as
their, words, will remain at Richmond and
sharti the fate of their armies. Should they
be caught, and sent to prison to await the fate
they have_ so industriously courted and de
served, the rebellion will be left an object
of the pity and contempt of the civilized
world. It is barely possible 'that they may
prefer death at the bead of their columns to
the punishment 'that will be surely meted out
to them by the - Government.
When these wretched men are captured and
disposed of, tbe Southern people will have an
opportunity of recovering from the delusion
of SeCession. The Whole conspiracy will be
unveiled. The means adopted 'to bring it
about will be disclosed ; for it cannot be other
wise than that the knowledge of the secret
friends and machinery, upon which they relied
to carry on their war, must come into the
bands of the Federal authorities., Movements
have been comparatively gradual heretofore,
but, now that the great blow has been struck,
the whole treason will rapidly crumble to
pieces amid the acclamations of all good men.
OCCASIONAL.
eI:LADLES TIIE SECOND lay dying. That sin
gular compound of profligacy and urbanity,
refined breeding and flagrant dissoluteness,
religious sentimentalism and utter moral cor
ruption, was drawing weak and weaker breaths
amid the luxurious paraphernalia of royalty,
which a bribe from France to suppress the
natural instincts of the people towards Pro
testantism and unshackled worship, bad ena
bled him to lavish on Whitehall Palace: Those
outrageous attacks upon the lives, liberty, and
properly of subjects which characterized the
latter part of bis reign, those disgusting scenes
of party intrigues, plots, and conspiracies,
were closing, as far as concerned this amiable
. executioner of Russitzt and 'SYDNEY. The
•criminal prodigality that had made his court
Vane in such splendor could not save bins ;
the exhaustion of an apoplectic attack his life
;was oozing away. "The morning light," says
liacatinkr, "began to peep through the win,,
dews of Whitehall, and Cniaass desired the
Attendants to pull aside the curtain, that he
. might have ono morn look at the 'day. Ho re
marked that it was time to wind up a cloak
Which stood near his bed. He apologized to
those who had stood around him all night for
the trouble which he had caused. He had
been, ho said, a most unconscionable time
dying, but he hoped that they would ex
cuse it. This was the last glimpse of that
exquisite urbanity, so often found potent to
charm away the resentment of a justly in
censed nation." .
A CHARLES the Second is now dying this
Bide of the ocean—a power whose riotous mi
nistry might well be called Cabal—an oligar
chical tyranny that has long hidden its profli
gacy and despotism under the g trb of courtly
etiquette. It has summarily decapitated every
representative of human progress, every
champion of political freedom. It has yielded
to the virtual bribery of foreign Powers to
suppress the natural impulses of the people.
It has pampered its sensuality by extortionate
vassalage of its subjects, by arrogance and
impertinent petulance towards itafriends. Hav
ing a sense of its hmato rottenness, it has con
trived to bolster itself up by executive patron
age, and to demoralize the national conscience
by making itself respected. As unscrupulous
of ends as of means, the official power thus
acquired it has never renounced, perverting it,
all the while, to the foulest of purposes. To
make its immediate court and-body-guard rich
and resplendent, it has brought the national
finance to the verge of ruin, and has enforced
new claims by renewed clamors. But now it
Iles dying: Neither its lordly iniolerice nor
the pomp of its lordly surroundings can save
it ; it is dying in the palace of its own c:eation,
and encompassed by aristocrats, whose elegant
sensuality, supported by avarice and human
degradation, will not avail it. We of the North
are opening the windows and drawing the
curtains, that the fresh young light of a new
'day may flash bate the glazing eyes of the
gasping voluptuary. It is paring Into the
southwest through Corinth, into the southeast
through Richmond. One evacuation after
another has given room for the clear sunlight
of a new order of things to flood with
radiance that chamber of death, and reveal
the true nature of the tinsel and gewgaw
with which it has been so heavily hung. is It
is time," moans the servile roué, the worn
out gambler in hearts and lives, cc to wind up
the little black banded clock which I have so
long kept behind the stroke of civilization.
It' is approaching high noon; when all the
rest of the world chimes it, let these
hinds also help to be its chronicle." He
has the impertinence to satirically apolo
glie, at every fortification he makes and
leaves, for the trouble he has given, and
the unconscionably long time he has taken to
die. "It is the last glimpse of the chivalrous
arrogance so often found potent—alas!—to
charm away the resentment of a justly-in
censed nation." Die he must, dying he is.
Swollen by indulgence, over-fullness carries
him away. Let him answer as he can for
the enormity of his sins against his country
and the race—this voluptuous tyrant, the Ame
rican CUARLES the Secorid.
HON. JOHN A. Gamut, OF NORTH CARO
TINA.—Thure is Sonia light amid ail the
gloom. With our improved 'facilities for
communicating with the Southern States, it
becomes more certain that through all that
part of the country there is still a con
siderable number of prominent men who
have never lowered their knee to the image of
Baal, and are certain to prove staunch sup
porters of the Union. Quite a 'number of
such have been heard from. The boldest is
Hon.. Mr. Guam, of North Carolina, who,
in a State Convention lately in session at
Raleigh, thus expressed himself while speak
ing in reference to the new law taxing slaves :
" I also, while I am up, desire to call the atten
tion of those gentlemen who are opposing this
measure to the fact that they, and they alone, wero
chiefly instrumental in carrying North Carolina oat
of the Union. Ye; gentlemen, it is you who were
in favor of contracting a great debt by carrying on
a war with the Union. Yon claimed that secession
was neceleary, in order to give better security to
the institution of slavery; hence, it was for the
exolusive benefit of your property that secession
teok place, and this enormous debt was contracted,
and all of this misery and slaughter brought upon
the country. At the commencement of , seoession
you were exceedingly patriotic, and said that the
South must secure her independence, at whatever
sacrifice of blood or treasure.
"Gentlemen, you have succeeded in forcing the
State out of the Union ; yon have also succeeded in
eaddlin a great debt upon the State; - thus faryour
wishes have been realized. You have had your way.
In gratifying your wishes thie debt has been in
curred: You lave remained at your.firesides while
. the fearful struggle was going on, sad obliged those
who represent no property to fight your battles.
Now that the debt has been contracted by you,
who represent the slave interest of the State, you,
nevertheless, have the coolness, with all these
foots staring before you in the face, to rise in your
places and refuse to be taxed. By objecting to pay
your share of this great debt, YOU are obliging those
who fought your battles to pay it for you. I de
sire to .know if there can be anything more un
grateful and inhuman than this? I had no hand
in bringing about. this unholy war. I was not in
favor of emersion, and am not now. I love the
old Union, and long to return to its -folds. I had
no voice in contracting this debt;. I have been op
posed to it all along. Notwithstanding this, I sin
willing that my slaves shbald be heavily taxed to
liquidate this unjust debt. Yea, I would gladly
emancipate them all if et would restore us back
as we were before. The slavery question is the
cause of this war, and we shall rimier have peace
until a gradual emancipation measure is alopt.
a . , I
These are the words of a Southern patriot.
Let the sympathizers with Secession in our
midst read and ponder_them. Do they sup
pose, when such nob% courage is shown by
slaveholders like Jour: A. GILMER, that the
peotle of the free North will again bow their
necks under the yoke of any party that re
fuses to sustain the Government in its war for
the Union?

Negro Insurrecuon in Baltimore
The private jail Of Meagre. D. M. ds W. L. Campbell,
located on Pratt street, near Sharp, was the scene "
of considtrable excitement on Saturday evening last,
(monitorial by about fifty negroes, runaway slaves, who
bed been put there by their several mestere for safe-keep
ing, attempting to escape from the yard attached to the
jail, which is about fort, feet wide by eighty in leneth.
The first intimation given of the difficulty was when hlr.
Campbell. in company with his assistant, kir. Wheeler,
stir mated t. 3 pass into the yard—which the negroea are a'.-
lowed to occupy daring the day--for the purpose of
locking them in their cells for the night. The negroes
made a rush for the gate, hot were unable to reach it ore
it was closed. They then commencei yelling and shriek
ing, intermingled with coma . end threats, when a met
miler was despatilod to the Southern pollee station for
Captain Manly, who shortly arrived at the scene of the.
difficulty with a posse of twenty-two policemen. Upon
attempting to enter the yard, with a view of giving tho
'regrets warping of the consequences of the step they had
undertaken, Captain Manly end. hie men were met at the
gate by the infuriated crowd in a threatening attitude.
The officers drew their revolvers, when the most of the
negroea fell back in they and;' but as soon as the officers
bed gotten fairly io, the negroea made an onslaught,
with the appeartuice of It desperate resistance to the an.
Dimity and pow er albs police. Orders had been given
to the album to avoid killing er ser orely wouoding
any one or them if erasable, but the fight was so terrific
that the CAMP had to tire levered shot• in the direct( in
of the Degrees, but above their heads. before they would
succumb, std then only grove way after several of them
had been pretty ronehly handled by the policemen. The
negrota were principally armed with stools, clubs, Ma
trons. portions of the benches which they bad broken up,
and the slaves of a tub ahich bad been torn to piece,.
During the tight, Mr. Campbell received a blow to the
back of the head, and another over the left eye, both of
which were given by a stout negro with an iron shovel.
Officer Geo. Taylor had one of his feet badly hurt. Officers
Arnold, Springer, McLean. and one or two others, wore
Hnochid down and received 'several 'severe bruises. Du
ring the melee, while Officer Arnold was down, several of
the negroea caught bold of hie earantoon, which was fas
tenrd to his wrist by n string, end bad nearly suoceedod
in dragging him into one of the rooms, when be drew a
knife and cut himself imse. One of the neromes was so
badly beaten that Dr. Gough was summoned to his aid.
The tome physician attended Officer Taylor. The ac
tion of the officer', under the circumstances, reflected
great credit tiron themselves, and their deter pined man
ner had the effect, apparently, of convincing the negroea
that their 0 time," as they expressed it, had not yet.
come. There has not been any further difficulty with
them.'

Mr. GOOOR (Bop.), of Maasachnsette, reported from
the Cotetnittee on Foreign affairs the Senate bill for the
recognition of the independence of 'Genf and Liberia,
and the establishment of diplomatic relations with them.
He quoted thetweertion of Preeideut Lincoln, in hie an
neal message, that a any good reason existed why Wa
should persevere longer in withholding our recognition of
Hayti end Liberia, be wee nimble to discern it. Justice
teat:dreg this act on the part of this Government. There
is certainly no reople on whom it is more incumbent to
de all tint can be done to educate, develop, and im
prove the moral, intellectual, and social condition
of the African race than our own, and no Govern
ment or people have it so much in their power to aid and
resist these two republics in their struggle to obtain a
hipher intelligence, a better civilization, or more perfect
government. Each of them bas a Government like our
Own i institutions (listened and intended to be like 0111%
The estattlistmeut of diplomatic relations bet;vnen our
Government• and these republics will afford them .the
•
meet favorable opportunities to familiarize thomeelvee
with the theory, and practice of our Government, and
Ihet eby enable them to improve and protect their own.
Mr. GOOCIi then stated the political reasons for
ettablithing intimate diplomatic relations with them re
publics, °leeching with Boyd, which should not be per
mitted to fall back into any European Power. The expe
tier ce of the pest few months has taught us very forcibly
that the ruling Powers of Europe leave little ammeter
with us, or our institutions, and that they will not heti
tate to improve what aeeme to them a favorable hew
tunlty to recover lost power and jurisdiction over Ameri
can territory. The rebellion has, for the time being,
almost silenced the voice of our Government among the
Powers of the world If anything were needed to unite
or strength. tt the people of the loyal 3tates, in the deter-
Minatiure to effectually crush out the rebellion, it would
be the present position of our Government in this respect.
Nr. Gooch proceeded to demonstrate that the com
mercial interline of our people demand the recognition of
-Bald and Liberia, quoting numerous statistics showing
our trade with theist republics,. The adaptation of Hayti
for cotton culture was dwelt upon, and its Gelds will fur-
Web brumes to the blacks of this country who desire to
better their condition by emigrating to a more congenial
climate and sell, where they will be relieved of all the
politics' and social disabilities to which they are here
subjscl ed. In recognizing the independooce of Hayti
end Liberia, me loliew the example of the leading Powers
of the wield. Petition after petition has whet it, and
there is no valid reason why the prayer of the petitioners
should not be granted. Men of all parties desire the re
cognition of these two Governments. Justice, slued va
lley, political-wisdom, and the example of other Goes in
inept's, demand that we recognize the hrierentlence of
Hayti and Liberia, and that in our intercourse with them
we place them ou the same footing as other independent
nations. ,
Mr. COX (Dom.), of Ohio, offered a substitute that
there be appointed corbel generals to negotiate treaties
of commerce with Hayti and Liberia. The object de
signed was not somincli to increase commerce, but to
give a sort of dignify and equality to these republics be
cause their citizens happen to be blank. He argued that
consuls wet e the more appropriate agents to promote the
littorals of collate T.
Ho asked the gentleman from Matisachusette whether
be expected a minister In return from Hayti?
Mr. GOOCR replied thet be arl.hod to put Hayti ou
the same footing with other indep•ndent nations, and, if
that republic sopd a minister, to receive him just the same
as Englaim and Fi ante do.
Mr. COX raid the laws of Hayti debarred all whites+
from office. As a coneeonence, she would send a negro
ministrr here with all the rights and dignities enjoyed by!
Lord Lynne end Count Mercier. ' -
Mr. YESSibiDEN (Bep.), of, Maine, wished to know,.
what objection the gentleman from Ohio had to that.
Mr. COX replied.thet he objected because it raised the
black man to an equality with the white. lie had
thought that this GOTerlit , tint was for the white man. He
recollected that the gentleman Irons Maine [sr. Feasen
den] bad said something like this the other day—emelt,
tint he would girder that the Hilton should not be re
stored then that slavery eliould be continued. The gen
tleman would destroy the Commonwealth for the purpose .
of getting at the black men. Mr. Cox, in his argument,.
said the people of Hayti bad not the power to rise above
the ignorance, corruption, end auporstitlon of the race
for the last seventy years. The only object of this bill
wait to dress np the negro minister who might be sent
hither in gold and lace, with the light leggings and shoo
buckles of the old style, and perhaps put a Wig on his
bead, and send him to the White Howie, to be the latigh
ing stock of all also congregate there: Flo was not to be
ceneidered so much the representative of He'd as of the
free negroes of this city, a being to wtom they would
look to the trod of their idolatry. .
kr. HIDDL3.(Dem.), of Pennsylvania, said theltrii—
sent condition of the African race, and the momentous
political aueetion connected with it, should induce the
Hones to reject this bill, which wag a pert of a policy
which had contributed to sever the Union, and is the
greatest obstacle to Its restoration and to the succeeds"
prate ut ion of the war. Title wean° day of double danger
to the Constitution from the Secessionists and Abolition
ists. It was no pert of the latter's policy to send the
negroes away. They want to keep them to support their
pow er, which is waning among white men. This was
not the time to gide an inch to those who would take an
ell. He would not stick a new feather in the cap of Abo
litionism. To peas this bill would be an acknowledge
ment of the cquallty of the races.
MT 'Kelley, of Pennsylvania, obtained the door.
Without concludingthe question, the House adjourned.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
The arrival of papers from England by the Bay of
New York brings the intelligence that the, Southern Con
federacy is einkiog to its proper level, even in the big
roarcr's estimation. That dainty sheet, being unable
longer to deny the power of the Borth to saccessfally
battle with the South, tune its weapon in another di
rection, and discourses thus: "If Richmond is coetured,
it will be a tremendous victory to the United Stater,"
and then goes on to discuss "the difficulties that must
arise in governing the South when the United States by
continual victories, have brought the rebels within their
power." Having already dashed one cup of anticipated
dishonor to the North from the lips of the Times, very
soon this new concoction will share the same fate; for, if
the United Statee can overcome the Sontbrons, they can
govern them. It they get the axe within an inch of the
nock of rebeldom, as now soon will be, what power bet
re beldom can save it felling if the rebels prove trou
blesome? This tacit moot by the big men of
the rebels in England, that nothing now remains but in
dividual obstinacy on the part of Secessionists, mud be a
terrible blow to that iofatuated class of human bsinge.
The Daily News conies out strongly for the North. Tho
.Horning Herald faintly imagines that New Orleans wilt
Ito recaptured. The Liverpool Post " is ready at any
moment to hear of she proclamation of pewee." All of
which speaks conclusively that the English are beginning
to get their eyes open.
The firm feeling at the Stock Board this morning was

on the street, but the demand was equal to the supply,
and it was all absorbed at 6-10 discounts.
