f Correspondence of The Frees. ]
Nkw Yonir, Bee. 23,
PASSPORTS REVIVER
The latest result whioh has grown out of the
seizure of the steamer Chesapeake Ib the revival of
the passport system, Hereafter, no one will' be al
lowed to take passage from this port uponany Ame
rican vessel without being provided with one* of
these descriptive documents, furnished by the Uni
ted States marshal for this district. The system in
volves grave inconveniences, and its application
will, of necessity, result in grumbling on the part of
those who will find it requisite to give this species
of reference; but the security growing Jrom it will
more than repay the trouble and expense inourred.
I t will be noticed that the system does not apply
to passengers upon foreign ships, and the fact la
fortunate. When passports were generally de
manded the trans-Atlantic steamers were frequently
subjected to vexatious delays, and a world of pains
taking was incurred by their patrons. All this is at
present avoided, and the burden will fall principally
upon those who are taking passage for .ggathern
ports now in possession of the United States forces.
By these means not only will the safety of our ships
be conserved, but Secessionists will find their busi
ness voyages Berlously interrupted, and the current
«f disloyal travel will, by the contracting force of
|e system, be concentrated upon a few foreign
vessels, where it can be more thoroughly and suc
cessfully scrutinized by the proper authorities.
Apropos to the same subject, it may be mentioned
that certain measures have been adopted, which will
tend to break up the correspondence now so gene
rally carried on between disloyalists in the North,
in Nassau, and the South. How the end is to be
brought about, the public- may not ascertain, until
the forces brought to bear have been thoroughly
tested, or the desired result attained. Suffice it at
present, that the authorities have awakened to the
necessity of some specific action in the matter; and
it will be peculiarly appropriate for the disloyal to
know that the business letters which they have
been unsuspectingly mailing to their colleagues at
Nassau and the South, may, one of these days, be
produced as evidence against them.
A DAY OF INFELICITY.
There are a great many grave faces to-day in the
haunts of the sporting fraternities. Early this morn
ing the newsboys dashed frantically through the
streets, announcing the result of the “ International
Prize Fight,” and the demolition of the redoubtable
Keenan. All newspaper accounts to the contrary,
notwithstanding, the fistic encounter has caused but
little excitement, except in pugilistic circles. The
grave interest which the people, as a mass, took in
Heenan’s previous battle has not found its parallel
in this case. The fact is, that this repetition has
given us too much of a good thing. There was a
novelty about its more fortunate progenitor which
naturally aroused curiosity in the minds of a
community always jealous of English superiority,
and anxious to behold the humbling of London,
even by the emulation of a vicious characteris
tic. The “fancy,” however, were enthusiastic, but
cautious, and seemed to repose very little confidence
in the prowess of the Benicia person. The reason
of this distrust rests only in their own manly bo
soms, and it is only of its results that we can speak
with confidence. The betting was favorable to King,
although there were many who, from principle or
obstinacy, ventured their assets upon the brawny
party who had pitted himself against the English
champion. These gentlemen are to-day in the dole
ful dumps, and in urgent need of a few grains of mo
ral sympathy, and, perhaps, of pecuniary assistance.
Disputes have already arisen among the knowing
ones, and we may expeot the usual budget of en
counters in consequence thereof—that “Daddy”
Somebody has chewed off the cheeks of “The
Young Pegger,” and that “Patsey” is now
walking about in a state of noseless serenity or eye
less oblivion.
SKATING AND SPEAKING.
The bracing atmosphere of the past few days has
sent “the ball” up again, and all Glasses are abroad
on the skating ponds, “doing the skate some ser
: vice.” New York, in the winter season, is the re*
sort of the prominent artists in this line; and the
promise of yesterday enticed a Boston belle from
her local habitation to the scene of excijoment.
This young lady produced a palpable sensation upon
the Central Park pond two years ago, and as soon
as the noise of her fame became bruited about,
there was an immediate consignment of emulative
ladies, all anxious to secure the palm bf superiority
to themselves. In consequence of the competition
among these fair artists, the public received much
edification and amusement, and throngs were wont
to assemble upon the banks for the purpose of wit
nessing their graceful evolutions. We have now
among us those who style themselves professors of
the art, under whose supervision ambitious youths
go spinning off like so many pairs of compasses
tracing out a geometrical problem upon the ice.
The skating season promises ,to be one of uncom
mon gaiety, always providing that the weather is
not persistently feverish, as it was last year.
Our sensations for the week, as far as it haß gone,
have been extremely weak and uninteresting. Last
night the annual dinner of the “New England So«
ciety” was suitably discussed by the members and
the invited guests, among whom were numbered
Henry Ward Beecher, Admiral Farragut, Generals
Dix and Burnside, Hale, of New Hampshire, and
Mayor Opdyke. The toasts'were unusually felici.
tous, and the comestibles worthy of the digestions of
the great and good who honored it.
Wendell Phillips delivered an oration upon the
President’s amnesty proclamation, at the Cooper In
stitute, on the same evening. It was one of Wen
dell’s genuine, old-fashioned philippics, and was
aimed especially at Mr, Lincoln and Secretary
Chase. Nobody hurt! STUYVESANT.
Mr. Greeley and Mr. Phillips.
'in the Tribune of the 26th, Mr. Greeley defends
the Proclamation of the President, and noticing Mr.
Phillips’ attack on Governor Chase, takes occasion
to give a correct report of the speech, in which the
editor of the Tribune vindicated Mr. Chase:
Mr. Phillips, after sharply .criticising President
Lincoln’s plan of “reconstruction”—in our judg*
ment, an exceedingly wise, feasible and safe one—
saw fit to close with a savage attack on Governor
Chase as a possible candidate for next President,
coupled with an expression of preference for other
worthy and true patriots who could hardly fail to be
harmed in the public estimate by such a conjunc
tion. Loud and persistent calls being made from the
audience for Mr. Greeley—who was unwell, and had
determined not tcf say a word on this occasion—he
was finally impelled to speak substantially as fol
lows:
Mb. President, Ladies and Gentlemen : It
seems to me that the time has not yet arrived for
opening a popular canvass for our next President.
I would prefer first to determine conclusively that
we are to have a President of the whole country.
Thatpoint settled, we may proceed to the next in
order. And, when the proper time shall have ar
rived, I think it may be demonstrated, notwith
standing what we have just heard in his disparage
ment, that about the largest brain and the steadiest
arm that have given their best efforts to preserve the
life of the nation throughout the gigantic struggle
forced upon ui bp tlfl-raholdin# twiuaii am
of the iuteMh&h who h&fiheen tt&de the obje&t dfsp&-
olal assault in the eloquent address to whioh we have
just listened. In a contest {which has taxed the
energies and the resources of all patriots, his has
been the most difficult and undesirable task—that of
providing the ways and means required to meet the
enormous, ever-increasing cost of this tremendous
war. * The campaigns of a Ministry of Finance are
bloodless—hhtachieveinenu fail to dazzle the vulgar
eye or thrill the popular heart—yet none are more
essential, or more exacting in their demands of
capacity, integrity, and indefatigable industry.
And, unlike those of most ypther leaders in our
great contest,'the battles of Governor Chase have
all resulted in victories for the national oause. And,
despite all we have just heard to his prejudice, I
deem him one of the sternest and most trusty an
tagonists of the Slave Power.
But I speak not so much in behalf of any man as in
urgentappeal for charity and harmony. Though our
prospects have greatly improved, so as to justify san
guine hopes of an early ahd complete national tri
umph, we are by no means so far cut of the woods
that we can afford to quarrel among ourselves and
divide into cliques, as the partisans of this or that
great man. I have always admired, though I have
not always shared, the confidence and trust with
which our loyal millions, undismayed by the gravest
and most unexpected disasters, have regarded the
overthrow of the rebellion as merely a question of
time. You are well aware that I have not always
so regarded it, though my apprehensions have con
templated rather Northern defection than Southern
triumphs in the field. Knowing as I did that at
one time a majority of twenty-five thousand might
have been had in this city for a reunion under Jeff
Davis and the Montgomery Constitution, I have
often lain down at night, doubtful whether I should
awake in the United States or in the Slaveholders’
Confederacy next morning. And, though those dark
hours have passed, I feel that wo cannot yet afford
to distrust and disparage our leaders in the momen
tous struggle which is not yet ended. I honor and
am grateful to them all, envying not even the ocou
pant of the White House, whether for the present
or the ensuing term, and feeling that whoever has
worthily filled a poet in the Cabinet throughout this
trying convulsion has made a great personal aacri-

in view of the inffiffferenoe or hostility to that tu*
urnph hitherto evinced by so large a portion of the
people even of the loyal States, we shall be indebted
for that consummation to the overruling benignity
of God rather than to the wisdom and valor of man.
In that faith I hope and trust.
lord Palmerston on Scotland.
In a speech recently delivered in Scotland, Lord
Palmerston said:
“I feel a deep interest in Scotland, and a deep
sense of gratitude towards its people. There is
poetry and proee in all things. My learned friend,
Sir Roderick Murchison, will tell you in proae that
a part of Scotland has within historic periods risen
greatly in the world—that it is twenty*five or thirty
feet higher than it formerly was. Scotland, how
ever, has risen in other ways besides the geological,
and I would! say that there is a difference on
this point between poetry and prose. One of your
great poets gives a description or Scotland by no
.means encouraging, but somewhat gloomy—.
“ ‘Land of brown heath and shaggy wood.
Land .of the mountain and the flood. ’
“ He afterwards talks of the rugged strand, and
altogether gives a very unpromising picture of the
country. But when we come to prose, we find that
your brown heath swarms with grouse— [laughter]—
that your mountains are teeming with deer, and
that your floods are alive with salmon. [Renewed
laughter and cheers.] All these heaths and moun
tains and floods are sources of great wealth; but
taking Scotland in a purely prosaic aspect, I would
say that it is a country remarkable for the eduoated
intelligence of its people—for the high state ol
scientific agriculture which is there practised—for
the great prosperity of its manufacturing industry,
and: for its successful commercial . enterprise.
[Cheers.] I say, therefore, that Scotland has
risen beyond its mere geologioal elevation, and that
it is entitled n&t anly to the love and affbofcioiL of
these who hive derived benefit from being resident
in the country, but also stands high in the reaped
wid ©stem of tta civilize wow*

At thtf banqttst of the Sons of New England, ferfU'
in the As tor House on Tuesday evening, speeofcor
were made by HCfi. James T. Bzady, senator Halted
Kev. Mr. General B&fcrfde, Thurlb**'
Weed, General SiMilea, and Admiral

tributive justice, respect for the principle of sta
bility in established system*;. a proper regard
for the generations which are 3e> come after os,
and whose political organizations will derive
strength or weakness from tile issue of the
mighty conflict we are engage in—all these
considerations demand that the* architects of
disorder, who have violated the paWio peace and
broken the social contraot theyhad* sworn to Ob
serve, Bhall have no part in our future government.
With them we can never even negotiate for oeace.
When they shall have been expelled from the coun
try they have devastated and dishonored; when
their military power shall have been broken and
their forces dispersed, and the deluded masses of the
South shall have.been liberated from the tyranny
under which they have been crushed, it will be time
to make terms, not with the guilty leaden, but with
those whom they have defrauded, plundered, and
oppressed.”
Senator Hale alluded to the faot that for the first
time in their history the gentlemen of the New Eng
land Society—all respectable men—had cotioed 1a
their lists of toasts the race which had been exolu
ded by the decision of a high court from oitizenshtp*
By their sentiment they had been guilty of suggest
ing to the men of that race that they should strike
for liberty [applause], and it was then fitting that
they should do so. In the struggle against slavery,
he regretted that the church, which should be lead
ing every good work, had to be led. In the Episcopal
chureb, which was conservative, a bishop of Penn
sylvania found it necessary to answer another
bishop who undertook to defend him in bondage (a
voice, Hopkins.) Was it not strange that, when the
question involved the life or.death of the nation, its
perpetuity and dignity, or its everlasting shame,
that there .should be two parties in the country? It
would be well to have peace, and he would be ready
to make honorable sacrifices to obtain it, but there
were worse calamities than war. [Applause.]
They wanted peace such as two men might make
with each other without either being ashamed of the
agreement they had effected.
The South and the Wat-,
[From the New I oik Herald.]
A letter has lately been published, written by
Hon. T. Butler King, in June last, in refutation of
the rumor that he was in favor of reconstruction.
Mr. King, in his letter, “defines his position.” He
claims to have always maintained the right of a
State to secede from the Union, and to have urged
Georgia to exercise that right upon the election of
Mr. Lincoln. He says he regretted the necessity
for such an act, and even hoped, after the ordinance
of secession had been adopted, that the Federal Go
vernment would adopt such measures as would
permit their return. The war, however, put an
end to these expectations, and he has sustained it
to the utmost of hiß ability—having given every
male member of his family to the field, and two,
who were moat dear to him, to a soldier’s grave.
Mr. King tben proceeds:
“ But war must end in peace; and sooner or later
both parties must agree to terms upon which they
will lay aside their arms. The events of the past
two years should be sufficient to convince every
reasonable man, both North and South, that it is
impossible for the Federal Government to subjugate
our people ; and statesmen of the South cannot fail
to perceive that the Federal Government cannot
abandon the war, except on a restoration of the
Union, without danger of the farther dismember
ment of the nation.
“ Then, unless both parties can be influenced by the
spirit of concession and compromise, ‘ when,’ in the
language of one of our distinguished Senators, ‘is
this struggle to end!’ No man can answer as to the
years; but he may safely answer, ‘not until both
parties are exhausted and ruined—not until the
North is reduced to a condition worse than it would
have been if the had quietly acquiesced in our sepa
ration, and not until the South is worse off than she
would have been by remaining in the Union under
an Abolition Administration of the Government.
“ These considerations would lead me to favor any
terms of peace that the South could, with a proper
regard for her interest and honor, accept.
* * * “If the people of the North would now
concede our rights, and the Federal Government se.
cure them to us, the danger with which we were
threatened by remaining in the Union, and the ob
jection we had to it, would be removed, and we might
with honor and advantage return to it. *
“The Federal Government has proceeded so far
with the war that these are the only terms of peace
to which we could reasonably expect it to agree; and
I regret to say that I have no expectation that suoh
terms will be proposed, or would be accepted by that
Government while the Presidential chair is occupied
by the present Abolition incumbent. But if fortu
nately, duiing bis administration, or within a rea
sonable time afterward, such terms should be offered.
I am free to say that I should prefer their acceptance
by our people to the continuance of the !war, which
must result in the desolation bf our country, and the
ruin of both North and South. A peace on suoh
terms would be eminently honorable to both partie*
—neither could claim the victory—while the strength
and valor each has exhibited would command the
respect and admiration of the other.
“To thiß extent I am a ‘reconatruetionistJ But
it must not be understood that I would prefer re
construction and peace on the terms indicated, to a
fpeedy peace recognizing our independence—it that
were pocßible; nor must it be understood that I
doubt our ability to achieve our independence if the
conflict is continued. Butl believe it would be bet
ter for ourselves, for our posterity, and for mankind,
that we should accept peace with our rights secured
within the Union, than to continue the war many
years, giviDg oceans of blood, millions of treasure,
and ruining our country, for independence.
“ And yet the North has manifested no inclination
to make peace on any reasonable terms ; and until
she evinces a pacific disposition, and hostilities are
suspended for negotiation, nothing remains for us
bnt to devote all oiA* energies, skill and resources to
the conflict,”. -v
This is the first intimation we have seen from any
influential quarter in the South bf a desire for peace
on any terms short of the conoei sion of Southern
independence, Mr. King does not hesitate to say
that he would prefer peace within the Union to a con
tinuance of the war, if the rights of the Southern
States could be secured. What those rights are,
and how they are to be seoured, would probably be
points of difference so great and so vital as to defeat
every attempt at reconstruction on that basis. We
insist that the rights of the South were never in
vaded'by the National Government. We have the
evidence of the rebel Vice President Stephens that
the South never suffered any wrong from the
Government of the United States. Even Mr. King
does not assert that it ‘had; his advooacy of Seces
sion began when Mr. Lincoln was elected, and long,
before he had''assumed the Presidential chair. Yet
no man ever went into that high office more dis
tinctly or more solemnly pledged, by his words, hi»
acts, his opinions, and his whole political life, to
respect every constitutional right of every Southern
State than he.
Mr. King sees and concedes that the Federal
Government cannot make peace on any other terms
than submission-on the part of the South lo the
Constitution and laws of the United States. He
knows that it can never concede independence to
the Southern Confederacy, and that the utmost it
can agree to is the concession of Southern
rights. It has always been ready to do that.
It has never for a moment dreamed of invading
or withholding them., The leading conspirators at
the ?■South knew very well that they had no
real ground of; complaint on this score. They
scouted every proffer made in Congress or else
where to give them, whatever they could reason
ably ask in the way of security. The most solemn
assurances—the offer to amend the Constitution bo
as to foibid any interference with slavery in the
States, the proposed passage of the Crittenden bill,
all were rejected with contempt. They declared
that they wanted no terms, and that if they were
offered a guarantee in blank, and asked to fill it out
they would not do it. They were for in depend
ence—that and nothing else.
They began the war in order to gain it. When
ever they ohoose to retrace their steps, and aot on
the sentiments uttered by Mr. King, they can easily
do so,-otherwise the war will go on until one side or
the other is too far exhausted to continue it, Which
will Mach that paint fLsst ILa will p«-

Russia and tile European Congress.
The following letter has been addressed by the
Emperor of Russia to the Emperor Napoleon, in
reply to the Congress proposition:
My Brother : In describing the profound unea
siness of Europe, and the utility of an understand
ing among the Sovereigns, to whom is confided the
destiny of the nations, your Majesty expresses a
thought which has always been mine. I have made
it more than the object of a desire. I have deduced
from it the rule of my conduct. All the acts of my
reign attest my desire to substitute relations of
confidence and concord to the state of armed peace,
which weighs so heavily upon the peoples. I took
the initiative, too, as far as I was able, of a con
siderable reduction of my military forces. During
six years I released my empire from the obligations
of the recruitment, and I undertook important re
forms—guarantees of a progressive development at
home and a pacific policy abroad.
It is only in presence of eventualities which might
threaten the seourity and even the integrity of my
States, that I have been compelled to deviate from
this course. My most ardent desire is to return to it,
and to spare my people sacrifices which their pa
triotism accepts but from which their prosperity suf
fers. Nothing could better hasten this moment than
a general settlement of the Questions which agitate
Europe. Experience proves that the real conditions
of the peace of the world rest neither in an impossi
ble immobility nor in the instability of political
combinations that each generation would be called
upon to annul or to remodel, at the will of the pas
sions of of the interests of the moment, but rather
in the praotioal wisdom which imposes upon all the
respect of established rights, and suggests to all the
compromises necessary to conciliate history, whioh'
is an ineffaceable legacy of the past, with progress,
whioh is a law of the present and the future.
Upon these conditions, a loyal understanding be
tween the sovereigns has always appeared desirable
to me. I should be happy if, the proposition emit
ted by your Majesty were to lead to' it. Bat,' to be
practically realized, It eould only proceed by the con
sent Of the other Powers QHfcr tQ Ql>ta]u

basis upon which that understanding should be es

object you pursue—that of obtaining, without dis
turbance, the pacification of Europe—will always
meet with my warmest sympathies.
I avail myself, at the same time, ofthe present oc
casion to reiterate to your Majesty the assurance of
the sentiments of high consideration and sincere
friendship with which I am, my brother,
Your Majesty’s good brother,

A Monument to RotTert Fulton.—The execu
tive committee of the Fulton Monument Associa
tion will shortly issue & circular inviting, co-opera
tion of the public to assist them in erectiag a monu
ment over the remains of Fulton, now. resting tn :
Trinity church-yard, New York. The design for
this monument has been made by Henry K. Brown,
the sculptor, and is as follows:
“ A structure of Portland stone, resting on mis
sive arches of a severe architecture, and supporting,
above the arches, figures representing the Amerioan
rivers and lakes, and above these, figures represent
ing the four quavers of the globe, is crowned, at the
height of foity feet, with a colossal statue of Fulton,
in a sitting posture, holding in his hand the model
of a steamboat, whioh he is supposed to have just
completed,'and is presenting it to the attention of
the world,”
High Pricbs.—However much men may oom
plain of high prioes, they no means reached
the height, after three years of war, that they did
in time of peace, in 1837. From our files of that
year it appears that, in February, wheat at Roches
ter was $2 a bushel. "Ta New York oity mutton and
veal were 17 to 19 cents a pound• turkey, 25 cents ;
chickens, $1 a piece. A writer in a New York city
