How Can We End the War ?
.It would be an insult, to our humanity
and a slander upon'the civilization of the
age, to suppose that • the people of the
Northern and Southern States were not
anxious to end• the war. EVery day and
hour, we find . ourselves discussing the pro
babilities of peace, and endeavoring to dis,
cover some method by which . it can: beob,
tallied. How, then, are We to end - this war, •
and 'return again to peace? It must end
some time. We cannot make it a mutual
massacre; nor continue to raise armies and
send them into - the field;, nor is it possible
that the future .of these States is to be like
some African province, whose feuds are.
continued through ages, and the first duty.
of oitizenehip is to murder or, enslave the
citizens of a neighboring island or peninsula.:
The only interests which continued ' war ,
ean'serve arc those of glory and` aggrandize=
• r
ment-c We may continue war to• gratify the
ambition or passion of those to whoin war .
is.a profession, and Who 'gladly risk death
An obtain promotion.. We may continue war
to enlarge our territorial limits—to conquer
Mexico, Canada, or Cuba, or the British
Islands in the sea. We may continue war
as a nomadic or 'predatory people, for gun
,
der or new homes, el): the privilege of the
wilderness and the ocean.' None of these
•considerations, however, can have any part
in the future policy of this Republic. We
'are not a martial people, and glory to us in
times of is as tinsel or brass, or the
noise of cymbals. We are not a conquering
people, for while We maintain our own in
tegrity intact, we accept no allegiance from
other States or countries unless by the peo
ple's will. We live by the arts and mea
sures of peace, and add to our greatness by
fostering our industry, our comnierce, Our
agricultural resources, and the treasures and
blessings that. God has bestowed upon our
soil. Therefore, war to us is a calamity,
and the true patriotism is that which shows
us how to end the war. .
The war was begun to defend the inte
grity of the American Republic, and it will
end when we have succeeded in that Pur
pose, or shown our inability to gain suc
cess. Therefore, to end the war, we must
prosecute the war. We might
,have avoided
these contests in the beginning, and saved
the country the calamities of battle and in—
vasion, and the sorrows that weigh upoin
many 'happy homes, but in doing so we
should have passed out of the family of na—
tions, and become as the provinces of Lora- -
hardy-and Venice to Austria, or of Monte
negro to the Ottoman.---Empire___lf r wd had
granted the demands of the South when the
rebel commissioners entered Washington
with their terms of accommodation, we
would have given it all the territory that
lies south. of - Mason and -Dixon's line, the
Ohio and Missouri. rivers . extending west
wardly to the Pacific' Ocean., We Should
have placed upon our borders a great con
federacy,--proud, imperious, successful; and
led by.the. experience and traditions of a'
former umon to 'iegard the Northern people
.as an _inferior race,--sordid money-get
.
ters, and fit subjects for invasion; plun-,
-der, or. intimidation. We should have.
had Southern counsels controlling the.
North as absolutely _as Russian counsels
control, Greece and Asia Minor ; 'our tariffs
would be dictated by Southern interests,'
arid our social laws and systems _would be.
srubject to the apprdval of this Power. Sla
very and Cotton would still have mastered
us, and we' should have becoine abject and .
despised among the nations of the earth.
There can be no doubt that these considera
tions entered into the councils of the South
ea.n. leaders, and that those in the North who
agreed With their scheme's were anxious to
aid them, and, -if possible, throw the weight
of Pennsylvania into the . Scale, by making
that State an active member of the Confede
.
racy. We all remember the cry of "no
coercion" that succeeded the election of Mr.
LINCOLN to the Presidency, And that thou
sands of good-men; and the organization
calling itself -the Democratic party, were
opposed to coercion, and willing to avert
war by compromises that would have gra
tified the South. There was, danger that
such counsels would prevail, but the North
arose as one`man, and answered the attack
upon Fort Sumpter by drawing the sword
and Smiting the enemies , of the nation.,
Peace was impossible then because it'
would have been humiliation, and shame,
and dispace, and a surrender of our nation
afrighrs. It would have been the peace of
the traveller with the highwayman after he
had surrendered his money, and weapons.
Has it been pOssible since ? There has - not
been a day since the war began when peace
might not have been made by the rebels
withdrawing their unjust and criminal de
mands and re-entering the family of the
Union, for the awOrd and olive-branch have
always.gone together. If that hope is dy
ing away or no longer exists, it must be at
tributed to the criminality of the leaders of
the rebellion, and to their success in deceiv
ing and oppressing the people of the South,
and fittinggthem with animosity towards the
North. War never pacifies a people ; and
when the blood is seen to flow men . b&
come angry and furious, and do not reason
as those that are cool and temperate and
peaceful. Two years of war, with the de
vastation and grief that it must necessarily
bring, have estranged the South and the
North More and more, until we might
say with Mr. COLBRIDGE "a dreary
sea now flows between." These two
peoples of one blood -- with one his
tory, cne literature, and one language
—bound together by ten thousand de
licate and tender ties of feeling—these' two
peoples who, when they meet as they did at
Vicksburg, become warm and true friends—
are now fighting each other with hearts that
seethe and bubble with hatred, merely be
cause a few ambitious traitors in Richmond
have become possessed of the governing
power in eleven States, and have gone so
far in blood and crime that they cannot re
treat. Their necessities and misfortunes the
Southern people are atoning, and the people
of the North, by a'sad necessity of self-pre
servation, are visiting upon the heads of the
betrayed masses -all, the, penalties that men
inflict upon an enemy and a traitor. We
say it is the
.sad necessity of self-preserva
tion, for our armies meet armies of
and innocent Soyppip---Trynct red and suf.
and ja a,....-rearfirimmals who rest securely
. - fiigh places. And no matter what may
be the condition or the terms of a re-union,
the honor and faith of the North, the victo
ries of our armies, the struggles we have
undergone, the sacrifices we have made, the
hopes that we give to the future, all demand
that there shag be no rettoration of the Ame
rican Republic, without freedom as the corner
stone. Let this never be forgotten ; or the,
spirit of the Northern people—we might
say, the spirit of the loyal everywhere—
would rebel against a peace which brought
with it only continued dishonor and shame.
We,,take Western Virginia, br even the
great'State of Missouri, as the type of our
future re-union and prosperity ; and we pro-
claim what we believe to be inevitable truth
when we say that the American flag in fu
lure times shall float over a - redeemed and
regenerated land, and that under it no slave
shall ever lift his shackled limbs to make
the freedom that is symbolled in its folds a
mockery.
How, then; can we end the war? By
picfsecuting the war with fierce and Imre:
tenting energy. Every man • that we can
enrol; every dollar that we can raise, every.
engine of destruction that we.san fashion,
must be thrown into this WOrk.' Nor do we
wish this from any desire to commit blood
shed, nor fromany hatred, to the Southern
people. We must be cruel only to be kind.
We can only obtain peace by such au exhi
bition of power and 'roiliest) , that the eop
trivauce called the Confederacy will fall
before it, as the palace of ice' in the sunny
days of spring. It is in our power to do
this, and we shall be criminal before God
and dishonored through the ages, if we hesi
tate or fail. We implore:the Almighty soto
move the hearts of the men who are now
possessed with authority, that they do not
falter, or hold back, or permit themselves
to be betrayed. Peace is ours—speedy,
triumphant, glorious, permanent peace—if
we are true to ourselves and our country—if
we but arise to the dignity of true and pa
triotic statesmanship. Push on the con
scription, double or 'treble the quota, answer
the call of JEFFERSON DAVIS by a similar
call throughout the North, strengthen
MEADE, and GRANT, and RosEcnaris, and
in a feW weeks we can not only re'-establish
the union and secure liberty to the people,
but again
, pursue our policy with reference
to Mexico, and Canada, and Central Ame
rica; and, with our army and navy and the
military- experience we have gained, assume
a far higher position among the nations of
the world than we ever held before.
The Terms of Victory in the Next Cana
. paign.
•
The country is about-to enter upon a-new
campaign. The conquest of tte Southwest
is a glorious - termination of that which is
,
past, and the army of Gen. GRANT has little
more to do than to enter into the enjoyment
of its reward. There may be a battle in the
West, for Banoo and RosEcnaxs possess
fresh and well-disciplined armies, and seem
to be eager for the fray. We do not know
what effect the capture of Joan . MORGAN
may have upon the rebel manceuvres, but to
us it is a gratifying thing, as showing to the
South that invasion in the West fared as
badly as invasion in the East. Gen. MEADE
seems to be pursuing LEE with energy, and
the rumor that he has thrown a pontoon
bridge across the Rappahannock seems to
come from good authority. If this be true,
then we have the summer campaignagainst
Richmond almost under the walls of that
city, and we do not see how a great battle
for its possession cam be avoided: This is
the military situation of the coming; cam
paign, but it possesses other features that
should not be neglected. During these sum
mer and early-autumn months we are to
fight a great political campaign against the
enemies of the country, the results of
which cannot be .
less important than those
coming from victories in the field.. When
the enemies of the Administration fought
their last fight, their hostility to the coun
try was hidden under the most intense pro
fessions of devotion to the Union- and to a
war for its preservation. In the New York
campaign, especially, we found Gov. SEY
MOUR and those who aided him in canvass
ing the State, arraigning the Administra
tion for indecision and laxity in the prose
cution of the war. In Pennsylvania the
same arguments were used with foree,—and
we saw the result in those parts of the
State like the southern counties, where war
had visited, and a plundered people were
disposed to visit upon the Government their
wrath and vexation.
Events and'opinions have changed since
the last campaign. We are another people
in our mannermr - corAuottrqs-the.Avar=we
are another people in our manner of using
the elective franchise. We have recovered
from the false and foolish prejudices that
clung to us in the beginning, and prevented
us from prosecuting the war with justice
and power. We have given the negro a
musket, and sent him to the front. We
have abandoned hero-worship and laurel•
gathering, and shown to the -world by the
late victory at Gettysburg, that it is not un
der the leadership of men we fight, but un
der the leadership of a great idea,—that
the attachinent of the army is not to men
but to the country, and that the advancing
followers of HOOKER to-day, may be the
congliering followers of MEADE to-morrow.
With this spirit animating the army, we feel
confident of victory. A similar spirit animates
the people at home. They feel bitterly and
earnestly that in 1862 they were betrayed
into believing the loyal protestations of such
men as HORATIO SF:Jr - moult. The specta
cle of a Governor so chosen, and presiding
over a great people, becoming an ally and
champion of the most brutal mob that ever
disgraced civilization, shows how basely the
people were deceived. There, will be no
such deception in the coming campaign.
The enemy has drawn the line closely. He
has made the issue on high and unmistaka
ble ground. Opposition to the conscription
-the embarrassment of the war—a desire
for foreign intervention—sympathy with
riot and treason—all these are avowed by
the so-called Democratic party—and in Mr.
Justice Woof:I - wino they have made a felt
eitous choice of a leader, for to him belongs
the shameful credit of being the first Penn
sylvanian of distinction to raise his voice in
favor of the South, and, against the country.
When we look at these things in their true
light, we shall see that the prospect of suc
cess was never •more brilliant. Let us
strengthen the army by conscription, and
raise every regiment to its full standard.
Thus gathering strength, we shall fight with
the assurance of victory. Let us place in
nomination at Pittsburg men who have the
confidence of the people, and give them a
bold and loyal platform, and. Pennsylvania
sus t u in-tas..--Aduisitustration - pritta bver
whelming majority. Let us be constant,
prudent, and firm, and:victory will be ours
in the coming campaign.
Let us Wait a Litle Longer.
Those who have sustained the A.dminis
tration from the beginning with affectionate
and confiding trust, will find in the general
triumphs of these proud summer days a
just reward for their faith and constancy.
They will learn another lesson which we
cannot too earnestly commend to the loyal
—and that is the duty of further confidence
in the Administration The enemies of the
Government have again arrayed themselves
against it, determined that its overthrow
shall be accomplished. They failed, at Get
tysburg, in Mississippi, in New York, and
they are now making a bolder and more ex
tended attempt. We cannot imagine anything
more shameless and unjust than the means
they bave adopted to withdraw confidence
from the national authorities. They assail
conscription with every term of odium and re
proach, and .tell us of France and Poland
as the only-nations on the earth where simi
lar horrors are witnessed. Those who as
sail this measure now were its most violent
advocates a year ago: We 'were told that
the Government was timorous and afraid,
because it did not call a million of men in
the field. " Give us a million of men," it
was said, "and let us fight the war with
proper vigor." The GovePan
etr
„,„) ,
log to increase_,....the l lafflit the war to Inter
with the social and business relations of
the Northern people, preferred to use the"
agencies in its power, without asking great
er strength and numbers ; it preferred to
trust to the loyal spirit of the people to sus
tain its efforts, rather than resort to a direct
requisition. Thus lar, we have proudly
succeeded. We haVe virtually fought the
war without the aid of conscription; for, so
far as the great' battles are concerned, we
may venture to assume that the war is
already fought, and that the Government
merely proceeds to enforce the draft, to ena
ble it to finish * up, with promptitude, a work
thus far so well done. Defeated in the east,
in the, west; in the south, on the coast, and
in the gulf; their Confederacy> severed in
twain, driven to universal conscription as a
last resort, the rebellion is so much
.at our.
mercy, that We have. only .to strike, ;and it
will fall. Is it not strange and sat that,.
"with the rebellion , thus at our feet, and the
poWer in our hand to slay it, men should en
deavor to stay the hand, and give it new
life and,power ?
But in_their ambition to accomplish these
objects, the enemies of the Goveintnent are
not content with assailing• its domestic
policy in the conduct of the war. Their
conservatism is • of too radical and violent
a Stamp to permit them to rest here, and
they now go - farther and assail its foreign
policy. It is wrong, because it enforces
the Conscription act ; it is wrong, becanse
it ,does not enforce the Monroe doctrine,
These are the two main charges in the indict
ment against the Government, which its
enemies have prepared and which disloYal
papers all through the land, North and
South, taken
,up as the texts for invective,
calumny, and misrepresentation. Because
the Administration enforces the draft
it is charged with tyranny; because it
does not enforce the broad and comprehen
sive principles of polity enunciated by
President NI ON.ROR in 1823, ,it is charged
with timidity. The, general inference_frorn
these charges is, that the Government
can never, by any possibility, do anything
that is right, or fail to do anything that is
wrong ; and this is now accepted as the
political platform upon which its enemies
establish themselves ; it is the sole creed in
their catechism of political faith. Speaking
for such a faction, the New York World, re-'
ferring a few days since to the erection of a
French empire in Mexico, characterized it
as "a bitter.humiliation Which might have
been averted if the diplomacy of the coma:
try had been under the guidance of courage,
foresight, vigor, and high national spirit."
The World added : "It is not easy to over
estimate the ominous character of the resuit
toward which the French proceedings in
Mekico have been steadily tending for the
last sixteen months." Can it be believed
that this is the language of a journal,
which, until within a month past, has per. :
sistently affected to regard with favbr
the filibustering Mexican .scheme, and has
professed to regard NArbLEow less as an
ambitious conqueror thirsting for empire,
than as a royal benefactor, solicitous mainly
for the peace, prosperity, and perpetuity of
the Mexican republic ? Such, however; is
the fact, remarkable as it may seem, and we
.
can only account for it on the presumption
that the Ifor/a believes, with its peace-lov
ing cotenaporary, the Daily News, that " it
remains for the North to decide whether
this civil strife, which threatens to be fatal
to the progress and stahility of republican
ism, shall still go on," or whether the dan
ger of French intervention shall be averted
by . " conciliation and compromise. "„ These
are the only alternatives now left us, if the
enemies of the Government are to be be
lieved. They hope to make the invasion of.
Mexico a pretext for dishonorable peace.
In this hope they are destined to be disap
pointed. Foreign intervention, whether it
shall come as an infraction of the Monroe
doctrine, or in a still more direct and tan
gible shape, will never be brooked- by the
American people. Honor is still sweeter to
us'than peace ; our national integrity is still
sweeter to us than peace ; and when the
honor and the integrity of the nation are at
stake, peace and submission will not Pur
chase their security. If we would escape
the 'dangers of foreign intervention which
now menace us, we must prosecute the war
to an honorable and speedy close ; and when_
we have crushed the rebellion, we shall at
the same time have crushed the hopes and
schernes of its foreign abettors, and given to
the Monroe doctrine our adhesion and prac
tical support-,
The Palmerston Ministry.
MACBETH must have been bitterly grieved
when he exclaimed, "The Thanes fly from
me !" Some such feeling must now cast
gloom upon:_ Lora e - Aldblkatb OD.
DO - resumed office, as Prime Minister, in
June, 1859, then having a small working
majority of about thirty in a House of Com
mons elected, two months before, under his
predecessor's influence. -This majority
gradually increased during the, next, two
years, but, after that, it was noticed that
most of the newly-elected 'members were
decidedly anti-ministerial, and this led to
the impression that, early in the session of
1862, the Government,must lie reorganized
or entirely broken up. But, a few daj s
before - Christmas, 1861, • the unexpected
death of Prince •ALBERT occurred, which
was followed by Queen VidioßlA's almost
total abandonment of her routine duty;•as
ruler, for nearly eighteen months. It is
only of late that she has even , shown
herself in public. In this interval, which
almost deserves to be called a volun
tary interregnum, the State-coach, wholly at
the disposal of PALMERSTON, was . left very
much to itself. Parliament men were not
satisfied with the Premier and his Ways, but
-
a feeling of delicacy prevented their taking
active measures to oppose him. Whenever
any question came up likely to cause the de
feat of the Ministry, a convenient go-be
tween. would insinuate the unkindness as
well as the irnpolicy of doing any thing
likely to effect a change, because that` would
disturb the sad contemplations of "the wi
dowed Queen." It really was suggested
that, in her state of mind, the trouble of su
perintending the formation of a new Minis
try would be too much for her Majesty, and
this may account tor the recent tolerance of
the Palmerston Cabinet. Now that the
Queen has somewhat -resumed the perform
ance of her regal duties, there need be no
further occasion for any exhibition of any
false delicacy.
Lord PALMERSTON is very weak in the
House of Commons, where a Premier ought
to be very strong. With the exception of
Mr. GLADSTONE, who is too excitable' and
irritable to be of much. use, PALMERSTON
is the only effective speaker_now on the
ministerial benches. The Foreign, Colonial,
and War Secretaries of State, as well as the.
Firmt-Lord of the Admiralty, the President
of the Council, Lord - Privy Seal, and Post
master General, are all in the House of Lords.
Sir CHARLES Woo]) and Sir GEORGE GREY,
who are heads of the India and Home De
partments, are wretched and confused speak
ers. MILNER GIBSON 'and CHARLES VIL
LIERS, respectively presiding over. the Board
of Trade, and the Poor Law Board, are
lazy, and speak only on subjects connected
with their own departments. Lord CLA
REECE PAGETT and Mr. LAYARD, able
Under-Secretaries for tt e Admiralty and for
Foreign Aftairs, do their work very well,
but are only underlings at best. Mr.
PORTEN:CIE, who represents the Colonial
office, scarcely ever opens his mouth in the
House. Sir ROBERT PEEL, now the very
Hotspur of debate, confines himself to Irish
matters, and does not get into a quarrel
about them oftener than twice or thrice a
- week. If any thing has to be said or done,
all is confused or at a stand-still until PAL
MERSTON comes down to calm the troubled
waters. When the Ministry wanted. Run
-BUCK to withdraw his, motion, on the 13th
July, PALMERSTON himself, albeit suffering.
with'gout, had to hobble down to the House
of Commons, and, leaning on a crutch, per
sonally solicit RohnUcK's acquiescence, as a
personal favor. It is rather too much fora

The fact is, the Palmerston Ministry is
weakest in the Commons, where it ought to
be strongest. The effect of the Reform Bill
of 1832 has been gradually to give increased
importance and power to the House of Com
mons, and to reduce the House of Lords
into a sort of register-office in which the
Common's proceedings are, endorsed. Two
years ago, when the two Chambers guar;
relied on the abolition of the tax on paper,
the Lords exercised their old privilege of re
jecting a measure of which they disap
proved. The Commons rose against them
inwrath, and insisted that this was an inter
ference with their , peculiar right of impoiing
taxes. The Lords argued, shrewdly enough,
that to retain a tax (which they •wished), was
not at all identical with imposing it.
But the House of Lords had to submit in
the end—a submission which would never
have been demanded _nor made before the
Reform Bill. There are several excellent
speakers in the Upper House, who have
very little to speak about. We may scarce
ly count , in Lord LYNDHURST, the Nestor
of the HoUse, though his last speech, two
years ago, was delivered after he had at
tained the age of ninety., But BROUGHAM
is still to be heard, and Lords DERBY, GRAN
VILLE, ARGYLL, CARLISLE, MALMESBURY,
silver. tongued ELLENBOROUGH, sensible
NkNYCASTLE, and others, could get up a
brilliant debate—provided they could start
a fresli subject. But when a subject, has
been discessed over and over again in the
Commons, who can expect that any thing
new can be said about it in the Lords ?
Nearly every single election since 1861,
except where the seat was directly und i er
Government influence, (and sometimes even
THE PRESS.-PIIILADELPHIA, SAI
then,) has resulted in the return of a mem
ber hostile to the' Palmerston Ministry.
The latest instances, just reported, are Lis
burn and Berwick-on-T weed, where Con
servative members have been returned.
The graduarwearing away of his majority
must very painfully impress Lord PAL
MERSTON with a sense of the instability of
power.
A singular circumstance, to which we re
ferred at the • time,- shows the caprice of a
legislative assembly. PauvrratsTort, by dint
of much "whipping-in" of errant mem
bers, by official influence, and by hints that
an affirmative vote would be personally
gratifying to the Queen, obtained a majority
of 135 to vote for the purcha ie, by the na
tion, of the land upon which the Interna
tional Exhibition of 1861 had taken place.
A few nights after this, he moved that the
Exhibition building itself - 7 -a singularly ugly
and barn-like edifice, crowned with a couple
of ugly domes, which obtained the name of
"the Brompton Boilers"—should also be
purchased. To his great surprise, his pro
position was negatived by the tremendous
majority of 166, One night
,he had a ma
jority of 135 with him, and at the next vote,
166 against him. After this, he may well
distrust, the stability of his administration.
It occurs, too, when. England is drifting
into difficulties with France BusSia, and
the United States.
Some English journals hint at a general
election. It is more than four years since
such a trial of political strength took place.
A Parliament may last for seven years, but
its average duration, in the present century,
has not been much more than three years.
Would a general election give F'iraatimnsmorr
more strength in the Commons? If not, he
might as well go on with the present Par
liament, even though his prestige there
seems to be gradually fading "oft The
Thanes are flying from him, mfd•he may
find it difficult to lure them back.
A Democratic meeting held at Elbridge,
Edgar county, 111., on the 4th ult,, passed
the following resolutions :
&solved, That we hereby undividedly pledge our
selves one to another that we will not render sup
port to the present Administration in carrying on
this Abolition crusade against the South. That we
will resist to the death all attempts to draft any of
our citizens into the army, and that we will permit
no arbitrary arrests to be made among us by the
minions of .the Administration. .-
Resolved, That we regard the emancittarthn procla
mation as the final blow that has destroyed all hopes
of reconstructing the Union as it was. We also
view it as the entering wedge which will ultimately
divide the Middle and Northwestern States from our
mischlef-making, puritanical, fanatical New Eng
land brethren, and finally culminate in the forma
tion of a Democratic republic out of the Middle,
Northwestern, and Southern States ; and for this we
are thankful.
These resolutions are not difficult to ap
preciate. Briefly rendered, they mean
"We will not support the Government, be
cause we favor the South ; we will resist
the draft, because we are opposed to fight
ing against slavery ; in a word,.we are re
bels." 'There is a certain candor in this in
dicative expression, but it is the candor of
shamelessness; the. impatient utterance of
treason that ignores remorse or modesty.
These resolutions must be registered AS a
part of the rebellion of the South.;- 9f . tile"
sameAplyit of candorA-nicli; after intriguing
for a quarter of a Century, seized upon the
national property and_ made attempt. upon
the national life. -.The question presented,to
the Elbridge meeting was simply, " tWo
masters, whom will ye serve ?-L--the''South,
which of necessity has rebelled against the
institutions of freedom, or the North, whiCh
of great& necessity must war upon slavery."
The answer has been emphatic—" The
South." This is candid, as far as such ex
pression can go ; but still; gross enough in
falsehood. It is the prejUdice of VAL Law
-iiionAm and WOOD in its true statement=
the perverse and monstrous lie of slavery
opposed to Union. The restitutions we have
quoted are not free from the:Cant hypocrisy
of restoring the "Union as it was." No
.
power.-in the world,: Abolitionist or pro
slavery, could restore:the Unica as it was,
after such a rebellion as the present._ lii
further comment, we can only remark the
bad taste of mentioning Union with refer
ence to the South in rebellion and disunion
opposed to New England. The whole state
ment, in brief, is an utterance of treason,.
slavery, and disunion, - without apology or

selves as to the real issue, so fully eiplored

IN FORT WAGNER rebel officers Were in
dignant that negroes were permitted- to
ij ght against gentlemen. This, they thought,
was, to say the least, unchivalrous. In a
word, it was wrong to set the slave against
his master. With this view or justice and
chivalry, We are credibly ii.formed that
after the battle of Fart Wagner wounded
negro soldiers were tortured by the gentle
manly surzeons of the Confedkacy, and in
several cases barbarously put to death by
the rebel soldiers. Here, as at lkelena, Mil

was given to the blacks.
This fate the blacks aceepta\l and who
shall say that they have not fouZlitq nobly ?
Treatment such as we ha , ;4 rAntioned

is reversed. Instead of the slive murder

mob in New York and the garrison at Fort
Wagner. ,

THE ATV
• PARDON OF BLUMENBERG.--Our readers
will recollect the case of'-Rudolph Blumenberg,
who was sentenced to the state prinon in 1861, for
piracy ; In the cane of the slave trading ship Orion.
The accusedwas tried three times. On the first
two trials the jury disagreed. He was then ar;
reigned .a third time by the present United States
District Attorney, E. Delefield Smith, who procured
a conviction. Yesterday Mr. Smith received from
the President a pardon, granted at the request of the
District Attorney and Marshal, because of important
information given by Blumenberg in aid 'of their
plans to prevent any revival of a traffic which a
series of convictions have so thoroughly suppressed.
The person thus restored to his liberty has two
brothers in the military service of the Union. They
ate both Marylanders ; and one of them, Colonel
Leopold Blumenberg, has been twice wounded.
Both are distinguished for their, loyall'g, emirate,

HARRISBURG, July .31.—A. telegraphic despatch
appeared in one of the Philadelphia papers this
morning,. under date of Harrisburg, alleging — that
certain frauds on the part of the State officials_have
been detected in the supplies of clothing; fOod So
to the militia lately called into the field by the Go.
vernor. It is based on incorrect information. All
the supplies of these troops have been furnished by
the - United States. The State supplied nothing but
the men. The error may possibly have arisen from
certain reports in relation to a United - States officer
who ha's been placed under arrest within a few days.
It is alleged that in complicity with other officials
and contractors, the Government was defrauded
,in
large,ainounta upon contracts for horses-,furnished
Our, troops were not sufficiently supplied with
subsistence, and we understand that the Governor
has Osked.the Searetary , of War to investigate the
subjec;tin order that those who are liable may be
exposed and punished. ' • '
Arrangements have been made to purchase a part
of the battlefield.at Gettysburg fora cemetery, in
which it is proposed to gather the remains of our
dead.' The ground embraces the point of the despe

Reception of Geneial TAgan at Rome.
DUQUOIN (III.), July 31.—Major General Logan
arrived here this morning. and was met at the (idea
by a large. concourse of citizens. The committee
bade him welcome as an honored son of Illinois and
admired, of all loyal men.
In a speech which he made at Carbondale, yester
day, General Logan said he had no disposition to
discuss politics, for he was not a politician, and
thanked God for it. He only wanted to consider
what was for the good of the country. When war
was over we can ask who is the villain Now the
house is on fire, and we must put it out. He showed
who began the war. That - the President was
forced at every step to take the measures he had,
and yet some cried " unconstitutional." -We
fought the Mexicans, because they made war on the
Government, and if that was constitutional why
was not this? He ridiculed the sentimentalism of
those who objected to the war because it was against
our brethren. He was no apologist for the Presi
dent, but he would stand by him in all his efforts to
put down the rebellion, even if he sent elephants
South TO trample them down. All the exigencies of
a war like this could not be enforced and provided
for by the Constitution. The President was em
powered to raise armies, and that was 'sufficient. If
this war is unconstitutional, then Jeff Davis must be
right. He defended and explained the conscription
act, end denounced the New York rioters.
If the leaders were hung to the first- tree there
would have been no mob. He had seen- men smile
when we were whipped, and frown like angry clouds
when we were victorious ; but he expected that they
all would do themselves hut justice not to die trai
tors on account of the infamy they would bring on
their famillei. We must be for our country, right or
wrong. A man who is not for this Government
would hate heaven, if he lived in it, and showed
bow ridiculous was the," peace " cry, and said the
%only way to peace was to soundly thrash the rebels,
'anti they would come back as humble as need be and
,ibis whipping they would get as sure as God was in
heaven. He spoke ofthe condition of the Government
.at the time of the breaking out of the rebellion.
, Its armies were nearly all shipped South. With
this disadvantage, what success had not been
achieved? With regard to the emancipation pro
clamation, be said, if the rebels wanted their ne
gloes, let them stop fighting. If the proclamation
was wrong, let them lay down their arms and appeal
to the courts. If the question were left to the wo
rsen and- children of Mississippi - and Louisiana,
they would say they wanted no more negroes,
for
the rebel army had demoralized them, and ours had
made them no-better. The institution would be
worthless, whether they gained their independence
or not.
Be spoke three hours, completely carrying his au
dience with.him. and many times affecting them to
tears by hie manly and hearty defence of our brave
soldiers. At the close of the meeting three rousing
cheers were given for the Union and three for Lo
gan, and a series of Union resolUtions were passed.
About three thousand persons were — present.
DUQUOIRE, ILL., July 31.—Gen. Login addressed
about 6.000 persons assembled here to.dayto:greet
him. He was enthusiastically . raceivedrami ap
plauded throughout his speech. The drift of his
speech was similar-to that delivered'at Carbondale
yesterday. Be.argued that it is the duty of every
one to, stand by the Government, and was espe
cially. severe on those who find so' much - fault
w ith the President, the army; the war, and every
nag else except Jeff Davis & Co. He referred to
the Springfield peace resolutions, and said if the
sentiments expressed therein be correet, then all our
glorious victories of July have been tending to sub
vert the Constitution and the Government. If men
are loyal they will favor the prosecution of the war t
if not, they will find all manner of.excuses. ' If
men oppose the war, it must be because they
fear their friends will get hurt. Some objected to it
because the soldiers committed depredations. When
we started, he said, from J3ruinsburg, for Jackson
and Vicksburg, with five rations, we fought five
battles, and were reduced to one cracker apiece.
The men were hungry and footsore. He told them
to help themselves, and whenever his troops got into
such a Position they should have what they could
get. The rebels do the same. They steal every
thing, even the negroes,.to keep us from getting any.
But we never heard of that being denounced as a
wrong. insisted that all citizens should be for
their country, right or wrong, and that the people
should give the soldiers their sympathy anti support.
At the close of the speech, the following resolu
tions were presented by. Gen. Harvey and adopted
unanimously
RfsoPeed. That we will stand by the constituted an
thezitles of the country in their efforts to maintain, me
t erve, and perpetuate the Union and the Constitution, at
whatever coot, and against whatever power..domeatic
or foreign. that may assail it: and that althongh,tve de
plore ihe calamities of a civil war. yet all the States
most be restored to the Union, and the laws must be ex
ecuted alike over our country, and peace moot be se
cured by victory, until. the last rebel lays down his
- .
.
Resolved, That We tender to all ou r , brave and gallant
soldiers. from the highest to the lowest: our warmest
sympathies, and•scknowledge our gratitude to them For
their heroism, their sacrifices, and for the imperishable
renown eked upon ourerms by their glorious deeds.

blockade from Mobile. They areloaded with cotton.
The United States steamer &iota, when off the
coast of Texas, on the 7th instant, chased two small

Their cargoes also consisted of cotton.
On the Thursday following, while passing Corpus
Christi, two vessels were discovered at anchor be
hind Mustang Island. They were apparently loaded
with cotton, and awaiting an opportunity to escape
the blockade.
A rifle twenty-pounder was fired at them, when
both got under weigh and stood up the bay about
six miles, where they grounded.
An expedition, in charge of Lieut. Davenport,
was at once sent across the island to capture them
if possible, and if they could not be saved to destroy
them by fire, which was done after an 'unsuccessful
attempt to float them.
While returning, Lieut. Davenport accidentally
shot himself with a rifle ball, the ball passing
through the right leg below the knee, and his left arm
above the elbow.
THE PIRATE FLORIDA.
NEW YORK, July 31.—A. letter from Bermuda,

in port, her departure having been delayed by the
refusal of the naval authorities to furnish fuel; but
she is now getting a supply from the rebel steamer
Harriet Pinckney, and will sail in a day or two on
a voyage of destruction. Any American war

Treason In Illinois.
Great extitement is prevailing at Olney and in the
counties contiguous to the provost Marshal's office
of the Eleventh Congressional district. On 'Wednes
day evening. a courier hastened with the news that
an armed mob was advancing on--the town of
Olney from the direction of Edwards county, and
simultaneously word- was brought that a large
force was slso advancing from Crawford and
Jasper counties. The news proved to be too
true. The citizens Of the town and surrounding
country immediately assembled at the court
house, in which was thd marshal's office. A. com-
mittee was quickly chosen to devise ways and
means for defence, and to the shame and disgrace of
the county, certain men appointed on that commit
tee, apparently panic stricken, advised the immedi
ate surrender of the office with all the books and
papers, in order, as was said, to avoid the shedding
of blood and the destruction of property. The peo
ple outside of the committee room getting wind of
this infamous and treasonable proposition, began
immediately to organize into companies, armed with
fowling pieces and revolvers, determined to defend
the enrolling lints to the - last extremity. Thus
organized, the citizens, under-- the leadership of
Captains Berry, Higgins, Studor, and others,
were stationed to the beat advantage to meet the
traitors and give them a warm reception. In the
meantime, Couimissioner Archer, the marshal be.
ing absent on business, secured the books, papers,
Am of the office, and took them into the country.
The scouts of the attacking mob made their appear
ance in town to reconnoitre, or confer with their
friends. The danger was imminent, and an attack
momentarily expected. But by the following night
the people were thoroughly organized. An armed
foroe of some 600 or 800, aided -by a train running
hourly between Sumner and 'Olney for the speedy
transportation of troops, succeeded in protecting
the papers from capture until the Commissioner
had them safely on the way to Springfield.
The Philadelphia Hospitals.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette gives
high praise to the hospital management of Phila
delphia. He says :
"Be courteous," is a divine precept which many
office-holders ought to learn and practise. And they
do practise it in the Philadelphia hospitals. This
made my mission to them exceedingly pleasant. The
uniform testimony of every Ohio soldier, and of
many others, was that everything was conducted as
well as they could wish in these hospitals. The
order, cleanliness, and quietness, are of the highest
order, and make the hospitals a pleasant home for
the thousands of their inmates._ There are 4,600
patients in the hospitals of West Philadelphia and
Chestnut Hill. One of the great excellences of the
Chestnut Hill Hospital is its rural charms; being
ten miles from the city, and surrounded with trees
and picturesque scenery.. This hospital is the
largest in the world, and capable of taking care,
with ease and comfort, of six thousand invalids. Its
culinary and sanitary arrangements seem perfect.
It cost $160,000.
The. West Philadelphia Hospital is about four
miles from the centre of the city, and'has an ener
getic and satisfactory administration. It moral and
intellectual regime are admirable. It has a library
of fifteen hundred volumes, a- reading room, inno
cent amusements, a piano, a printing establishment,
where a weekly paper is issued, printed and edited
by soldiers, which does all the printing for the esta
blishment. The lady librarian- told-me-that the
largest portion of the books taken out were histori
cal, scientific. and literary, thus indicating that our
soldiers can think as well as fight.
I cannot close this hasty sketch of the Philadel
phia hospitals without commending the disinter.
ested and unwearied work of the loyal ladies of the,
city in behalf of the roldiers. A thousand of these
.noble women make it their daily business to attend
to the wants of all soldiers who pass through the
cdty. and those in the hospitals. They have pre
pared in the refreshment saloon sumptuous meals
for 600,600 men since the war__he.san.. . atltlttlo ti to
constant attendance - upon - the sick arid wounded. As
I passed to and from the- West Philadelphia hospi
tals for several days, I met large numbers of these
patriotic women going to the hospitals with well
tilled baskets and flowers for the soldiers. So con
stant and unselfish' have they done this work, that
the New 'School General Assembly, which met in
May in this city, tendered the ladies of Philadel
phia a vote of thanks, Heaven bless these good
Samaritens—theim silent yet powerful helpers in
the glorious - work of saving the Republic from this
wicked rebellion.
A KENTUCKY. SLAVEROLDER ON EMAN
CIPATION.—At the dinner of the Alumni of Dart
mouth College, on the 23d ult., Mr. Jacob Dins
more;-of Kentucky, a member of the clase of 18i3,
made the following remarks :
"If in crushing out this accursed rebellion
slavery must go overboard, then for God's sake let
it go.- I am at the present time a Kentucky slave
holder; I have been such for more than forty
years, but I assure you -that during all that
time I have been a firm and unwavering
emancipationist. [Applause.] Under existing
circumstances I cannot well set free my
slaver, , but I pay every one of them the same
daily wages that I should give corresponding white
laborers. I want this war to be prosecuted ; and if
slavery shall be crushed, then I cheerfully abide by
its destruction. I ant a loyal Kentuckian ' and
whatever fate in the course of the war shall befall
the domestic. institutions of my State, I shall give
way to no murmurings, but under all circumstances
shall stand up for my country and her- flag. [Great
spplause.] There is but one course for the loyal
North to pursue, and that is to put down this wick
ed rebellion. We must defeat the rebels, or they
will conquer us. [Renewed cheering.]"
THE CAPTOR OF SOHN MORG-A.N.—Briga
dier General Shackleford,wbo was prominent in the
pursuit and capture of John Morgan and his gang,
fully deserves the commendation which the Western
journals are, lavishing upon him. He performed his
wm k with an energy and completeness indicating no
mean capacities as a - commander; indeed, many
higher officers might study, with profit, his example
of blended daring and unflagging vigor. It is no
small thing to hunt down and annihilate a veteran
body of cavalry, such as Morgan commanded, with
raw and imperfectly organized militia; yet General
Shackleford achieved, with such material, this very
result, leaving nothing whatever undone which 'the
occasion demanded to be -done:: General Shackle
ford is a native of Kentucky, and has risen' to his
position from the command of a regiment
. of Ken

Among the celebrated and prominent officers of
General Grant's army is Brigadier General Lawler,
or, as he is known among the troops, "the °heck
shirt general," and by others as the "Garibaldi of
the West." General Lawler is from Illinois, where
he owns an extensive farm, from which, by his in
dustry as an agriculturist, he has attained a position
of opulence. When the rebellion broke out, he was
at work in the field, and, musing on the matter
while following his plough, he determined to give
his personal services to the Government. He raised
a regiment of troops, and subsequently was elevated
for meritorious services to his present rank. Gene

Colonel „Tames C. Beecher, writes from Newbern, Chicago and Northw'n.
North Carolina, where he has gone, under General
Wilde, to assist in raising a negro brigade: 'The
Degrees had been expecting, praying for them, week
after week, and the first three days five hundred men
enlisted. In each soldier's tent you may see a spell
ing-book for each man ; in the Intervals of drilling
they are cleaning their camp ground ; and, when all
is done, they Fit down and study their spelling
hooks. The colored women of Newbern who, last
year, were slaves, met and subscribed, in ten and five
cent pieces, a hundred dollars, their offering for a
flag for the brigade.' * My dear friends, a thou
sand grateful and pleasant recollections of good days
in Scotland crowd upon me as I write, hut I am
cramped and confined by neuralgia, which is brought
on by writing, and cannot say much."-

-- The New York Comwrcial Advertiser says:
"-Many of our readers will remember the Rev. :fag.
H. McNeil, who was formerly one of the secreta
ries-of the American Bible Society, and who fre
quently and acceptably occupied the pulpit in this
city and vicinity. That gentleman was from North
Carolina, and soon after the capture of Fort Sump
ter he resigned his office at the Bible House and re
turned to the South. He entered the rebel army,
and, we learn, was dangerously wounded at the
battle of Gettysburg, where he held the commission
of lieutenant colonel. When acting ae secretary to
the Bible Society Mr. McNeill's residence was at
Elizabeth, N. T. Only a short time before he left he
lost two
most interesting children by scarlet fever,
which created great sympathy. While at Elizabeth a
warm and devoted friend of Mr. McNeill was the
late Rev. Dr. Murray, and in.the battle of Gettys
burg, and of course opposed to Col. McNeill, waa one
of Dr. Murray's sons."
—Of Gen. Too. Morgan, Col. Estvan, late of Con
federate cavalry, has written : "Of vulgar extrac
tion and no education, hut gifted with extra.a.dinary
courage and selt-poetteseion,ffou. ruiffgen had form
ed a body of 'own_ stamp, who preferred
e g hti ng _ a ,,..a*lne hardships of a roving life to any
, T) ,, , ifful occupation. This band roamed abnut the
- country with such audacity as to become a perfect
dread to the enemy. Scarcely a day passed without
some daring act being recorded of Tohn Morgan and
his horsemen. Although he and his hand belonged,
properly speaking, to General Hardee's division,
and his duty was to watch the enemy's movements,
he preferred doing a little business on his own ac
count. His adventures made his name well known,
and acquired for him a widespread popularity."
Gen. Wadsworth was recently received with
great cordiality, at his house in Genesee, New York.
Replying to a speech of welcome, he said he had
offered his resignation to the President , assigning as
his reason that there were too many generals for
the number of men. His resignation was not ac
cepted. He never heard a word of complaint from
the "soldiers—they are patient and of the most lofty
courage and patriotism . . His descriptions of the
battles of Gettysburg were of the most thrilling
character.
"I found myself first a freemanwhen on British
soil," says Vallandigham In his address. Any Irish
men could tell him that he lies. Any "Englishman
could tell him that the exercise in Britain of a tenth
part of the freedom with which he assailed his own
country would have caused him to be hung - as high
as Raman. The traitor boasts that be is "under
the protection of the British flag." A.mericans un
derstand that this is by no means the first time that
the British flag has &Worded protection to their ene
mies. Benedict Arnold boasted that he was pro
tected by the British flag.
The absurdity of the story does not prevent the
currency among the newspapers of the report set a
going by some Washington " Jenkins," that the
Secretary of the, Treasury and-his daughters are on.
their way t • WileWport, there to meet a Rhode Island
Senator, who,fit that fashionable watering place, is
to marry one of them. Miss Chase is betrothed to
Senator Sprague, but it is not likely that they will
hi married in such a way as "Jenkins" describes.
The lady's father has a house in 'Washington, and
when his daughter is married, it will probably be
under his roof.
Colonel Shaw, of a Massachusetts coloret regi

FINANCIAL IND COMMKRCIAL
THE MONEY MARKET.
PHILADELPHIA, Jnly 31, 1863
The main features of the money-market remain
the same as yesterday, with the exception of gold,
which advanced about one per cent., and closed firm.
The indications are that gold will remain floating
between 150130 until the work at Charleston is
settled, when, as that is decided, it will advance or
recede. Money is remarkably easy, the absence of
many operators from the city preventing the surplus
being absorbed. This state of things may last a
couple of weeks yet.
Government securities are very firm, the demand,
with the exception of the five-twenties, being some
what meagre, but no one is willing to buy under the
present figures. Sixes, 1881, are steady at t063 : 40
107 ; seven-thirties at 106;4.01107; new certificates at
9934' ; old at iioo3olol ; quartermasters' vouchers
are 3;01 discount; foreign exchange at 1400141,
firm.
Sales aft the Stock Board continue to show the
same lack of interest so much lately noticed. Very
few orders coming from the public. Reading shares
were steady at 55; North Pennsylvania at 17; Penn
sylvania at 63% ; Little Schuylkill at 47; Camden
and Atlantic preferred at 17; blinehill at 62%;
37% was bid for Long Island ; 35 for Elmira ; 41 for
