Friends and Foes Abroad.
It behoves us to know, as precisely as
possible, what are our relations with the
leading Powers of Europe. In one instance,
the matter is wholly indubitable. The Em
peror of Russia, from the commencement
of the war into which the worst Treason
has plunged this Union, has been frank
and friendly. In November, 1862, when
Nerorgornmade an insidious proposal that
England and Russia should unite 'with
France in an interference with the affairs of
the United States, while England held back,
yet with a doubtful expression, as if such
procedure might be warranted at no distant
day, _Russia firmly and at once gave a de
cided negative, and thus prevented the
bringing of European influences into the
affairs of this great American Republic.
Russia, therefore, may be relied upon as
our true and loyal ally, not to be swayed
by external circumstances against us, nor to
be csjoled by the crafty plausibility of the
very astute gentleman who governs France.
It is clear that the policy of Russia is to
continue on the best terms with the United
-States.
The relations between this country and
England have never been over and above
cordial Whether with or without cause,
the young Republic has long held the belief
that her Alma Mater—the old monarchy of
Great Britaie--watched her growing great
ness with no very favorable mind. England
naturally felt sore at the loss of the North
American provinces. - which established their
independence as the United States, and may
have faneied—probably, not entirely with
out cause— that the young Empire of the
West was too exultant over the triumph it
bad gained and the prosperity which fol
lowed. The War of 1812 did not assist' in
lowering the tone of national feeling, wheth
er of jealousy or exultation, in each coun
try. After that, when the tide of immigra:-
tion from the worst-governed portion of the
British Empire added vast numbers of the
dissatisftEd Irlsh upon our shores and
into our population, the anti-British
feeling was continually kept at fever.
heat. There is no use denying that in
the Crimean war American sympathies set
in very strongly in favor of Russia, and
soon after, when the Indian insurrection
broke out, though the barbarism of the re
volted 'Undoes excited the natural abhor
rence of all humane minds, the general de
sire in the United States was that British
dominion in India, built up by a series of
conquests, should
. be very sensibly weak
ened, if not wholly annihilated. All the
time, whenever public men on either side
of the Atlantic had to speak of England and
the United States, there ever was the stereo
typed sentence about being "sprung from
the same race, governed by the same laws,
speaking the same language, and enjoying
the same literature."
It was fancied here, when our troubles
began, that England, though she had abo
3ished slavery in her own dominions, gave
her sympathies to the Treason which was
based upon the maintenance of the South
ern States in their full but criminal integ
rity as Slave States. Many things oc
curred' which seemed to strengthen this
opinion. But we shall not record them
here. The good old ecottish proverb says
" Let bygones be by-gones," and we
will now only to remember that, however
certain members of the Palmerston Go
vernment may occasionally have publicly
expressed opinions in favor of "the so
called Confederate States," the present
policy of that Government is unequivocally
as neutral as can be expected ; that the per-
sonal leaning of Queen Vic:roma herself is
knoWn to be on the side of humanity and
freedom ; and that, in taking her stand as
the friend of our Union, she but follows
up the gentic policy of her late husband,
whose closing action, as her natural ad
viser and counsellor, is said to have been
such an alteration, with his own pen, of the
Ministerial instructions to Lord LYONS, de
manding the surrender of Messrs. Meson
and Strom.n, as removed much of the sting
of the communication. We have had, du
ring nearly a year, and up to the present
time, a lair neutrality from England, and
this has „greatly tended to remove much of
the feeling against that country.
Considering the antiquity and the con-
galley of cur alliance with France—for we
bad French aid in the winning of Our inde
pendence, and the name of LAFAYETTn is a
household - word among us to this day—we
certainly had full grounds for hoping, even
for believire, that her sympathy would he
with us, it < ever the hour of adverse
vicissitude should arrive. We hoped so, be
lieved so. and were mistaken. The astute
ruler of France, (for we shall not attempt to
deny hie remarkable ability,) declared,
equally with Queen VICTORIA, when the
war began, that the utmost neutrality should
be rigidly observed. What has that pseudo
neutrality been ? Now coquetting with
Sr.roaLL, the mock-ambassador of the Rebel
Confederation—now proposing that England
and Russia -would unite with France to
end the war by acknowledging the na
tionality of Secessia—now opening the
harbor of France to receive and the
dock-yards to refit the pirate vessels which
wander o'er the seas striking heavy bucca
neering blows at American commerce. Nor
is this all, or the worst. It is an established
fact, against which the American Ambassa
dor at Paris has officially retnonstrated in
the strongest manner, that war vessels for
the Rebels have been building for some
months at Nantes and Bordeaux—that the
Rebels have negotiated, through the traitor
MAnny, for the construction of a fleet of
such vessels—and that the French Govern
ment, notwithstanding our Minister's re
monstrances, permits, by not prohibiting,
the building of such vessels. The pretext
that they have been ordered by the Empe
ror of China is just as plausible as that they
were intended for the Man-in-the-Moon.
Hem then, of the three great European
Powers, Russia is warmly our friend, Eng
land will remain legally neutral, and France
is undeniably false and hostile.
'When news of the barbarism practised at
Fort Pillow—of that horrible massacre,
worse than the bloodiest of the Sepoy mur
ders in 1857—shall reach Europe, the true
character of ITA_POLIT,OII's friends in the
South will be unequivocally established.
Ruffians who have acted as the Rebels acted
in that instance, with a brutality which has
no parallel in the annals of civilization, fitly
represent the whole congregation of those
who would establish a Republic in the South
with Slavery as the keystone of its arch.
The public feeling of Europe will shudder at
the murderous means adopted by the Rebels
at Fort Pillow, and the reaction which those
frightful enormities must create will there
raise up many new friends to the cause of
Humanity and Freedom, for which the
- Union is now so anxiously contending.
GOVFAMOR Cturrna can ask nothing of
- the people of Pennsylvania that they will
not give him with pleasure and pride. Since
they have twice given him majorities which
make him the representative of the State,
and since he possesses their unreserved
trust in his ability and loyalty, he can have
nothing to ask for himself. In the noble
address which we publish to-day he ap
peals to them in behalf of our soldiers, and
if the patriotism and generosity of Penn
sylvania needed inspiration, in his earnest
- words inspiration would be found.

LETTER FROM "OCCASIONAL,"
WAsrrinaTorr, April 16, 1864.
The news of the tragedy after the capture
of Fort Pillow, -where Union troops, white
and black, were indiscriminately slaughter
ed, sou nds like the echo of a savage rebel'
lion against humanity and civilization to
the recent extraordinary apologies for trea
son in the National House of Representa
tives. The amazement inspired by the
latter in every loyal heart is only excelled
by the horror excited by the Fort Pillow
massacre. If the soldiers in the army were
surprised at the votes and voices of the Op
position to the war in Congress if our citi
zens in other lands will read these pro
ceedings with shame and consternation—
what will they both say—what will our peo
ple everywhere say—as they ponder upon the
details of the carnival of blood enacted by
the savages under Forrest a few days ago ?
Are these white men who have done this
dreadful act? Can they have ever been
American citizens ? What has transformed
them into the shape of fiends ? There
is only one answer—sl.A.VEßY ! In no
other school could human beings have
been trained to such readiness for cruelties
like these. Accustomed to brutality or
bestiality all their lives, in their treatment
of their slaves, it was easy for them
to perpetrate the atrocities which will startle
the civilized foreign world, as. they have
awakened the indignation of our own
people. But this last example of rebel bar
barity, while it must serve to increase and
crystallize our patriotic determination, must
not drive us to depart from the honorable
and merciful spirit which animates the Go
vernment in the prosecution of the war.
For this same experience cannot fail to prove
still more the value of colored troops, and
also the bravery of that self sacrificing
yet unfortunate people. May God help
them They did not make this war. They
bad no votes to give for or against the
slavery under which most of them have
so long groaned. They had no part even
in the utterance of opinions. They were
valuable simply as the contributors to
the aristocracy, of the South; and when
these latter resolved to plunge a nation into
war only that the negl.o might be still more
en.slaved, and the Government separated and
torn into fragments, the blacks were called
in to help to avert the catastrophe. It is
unnecessary to reason upon the proposition
that the slave-masters would not employ
their own negroes in the army out of any
regard for Northern lives, or the prejudices
of caste in the North. Nowhere is there so
much familiarity bevveen whites and blacks
as in the South'; nowhere is the hooted idea
of amalgamation so practically and profit
ably illustrated. But the slaveholders feared
that their own slaves would prove to be fonder
of freedom than of slavery in the new relation
they would thus be forced to bear to slavery.
The Government, then, having to decide be
tween leaving these slaves to aid in feeding
•
the rebellion or to aid in fighting it, chose
the latter alternative. And now this poor,
pursued, and persecuted people are put for
war d to do their part of the great work. To
the discharge of this duty they bring no re
luctant service. They know the terrible
risks they run. In the free States they
are surrounded by a cloud of igno
rant and most - unreasoning prejudices.
First, they have political leaders Charging
that the chances of war have put
them on a level with the laboring whites,
and that the friends of the Government
contemplate a grand system of admixture
of white and black. This shameful and
shameless falsehood cannot be repelled by
the colored people, for, as I have said, they
have no votes, and are deprived of a fair
chance to address any audience of their
enemies. It is a common thing, even now,
for a colored man or woman to be insulted
on the streets by wretches, many of whom
never knew prosperity until they came to
live under the protection of the old
flag. But what amazes me most is that
any American should ever yield to this
bigotry. That every colored man saves
the life of a white man in the army
never seems to have made any more im
pression on such minds than the other fact
that the only real amalgamation is that
which takes place in the slave States. In
the North it is exceptional ; in the South it
is common. On this head I borrow a most
suggestive paragraph from the Morning
Chronicle, which is as follows
STATISTICS ON MISCECSNATION. — There were
411,619 mulatto gloves in the South in 1860, of whom
69,970 were In Virginia, 43.281 in Kentucky, and
36,900 in Georgia. These numbers are considerably
beyond ,the legitimate proportion of those States.
There were sit° 176,739 free mulattoes in the United
Statts in 1860, of Whom 106,770 belonged to the
South, and 69,969 to the free States. Of die free mu
lattoes Virginia contained 23485, which number,
added to her slave Mulattoes, makes a total of MU
ergevated population of 93,824. Her mulattO slaves
alone exceeded the total number of mulattoes in the
free States. The whole number of mulattoes, slave
and free, in the Union, in 1860, was 588,352, of whom
69,969 belorged to the free Statee and 618,383 to the
&lave States—a number greater than the combined
white population of Arkansan, Delaware, and Flo
fida—greater than the white population of aims ,
land—almost twice as great as that of South Caro.
line, and twice as great as the combined populations
of Delaware and Florida. The mulatto population
of Virginia alone exceeds the number of whites in
Delaware or Florida.
In fact, there is not now, and never has
been, a white ?Ilan, in the free States, fit to
work, or to earn enough for his family, that
ever lost a day's ieages tecaltBo of negro coin.
petition. But all this is the very least part
of the sufferings of the colored race. There
is a darker side to this very dark picture.
Look at them noW, when they go into the
war ; when they go out to fight for and save
the lives of many of those who forget
while they slander them. The cAproug OF

as yet insoluble difficulties : I. He gets less

you : Slavery having begun the war
against liberty, having forced the North
to employ black and white alike, to save
our Government, what reason can an honest
man, if he is loyal to his country, urge
against the employment of the blacks, and
how could this nation defend itself if the

The Massacre at Fort,
Despatch from Gen. Sherman.
On Saturday afternoon, about five o'clock, de•
snatches were received here from Gen. Slimmer(
confirming the news of the surrender of Fort Pillow
and the brutal conduct of the rebels immediately . at
terwarthe, which bids fair to be amply retaliated in
that quarter in due time.
The Star nays : According to Gen. Summeres re-
port, our loss was 50 white troops killed s and 100
wounded, and 300 black troops murdered in cold
blood after the surrender.
Fort Pillow is an isolated poet, of no value what.
ever to the defence of Columbus, and utterly unto.
nable by the rebels, who have, no doubt, left that
vicinity ere this, having been disappointed, with
considerable lose., in the object of their raid thither,
which was the capture of Columbue, whence they
were promptly and severely repulsed, with no loss
to 1111.
We are satisfied that due investigation will show
that the /owe of Fort Pillow Was simply the result
of a mistake of a local commander. who occupied
it against direct orders—a contingency incident to
all wars.
The rebels, according to the official despatch re
ceived here last evening, etrevied nothing at Patin

that it will be made on the most gigantic scale, and
require extraordinary exertions to repel it. He
eerters, our secret service men, anti rebel papers, all
concur in the one idea, that Longstreet ' aided by
Breekioridge, Buckner, and Morgan, will buret into
the state, while at the same time Johnston will
threaten our advance before Chattanooga to keep
our whole army employed there. John a Morgan is
at this present time somewhere in the neighborhood of
Abingdon, Virginia, fitting out and remounting his com•
mind. This tact is almost indisputable, from cir
cumstances which we will state : rHis men went
nom the front in Georgia some time sauce by rail to
Richmond, and he refused a donation keel the ladies
of Columbus, S 0, of money to fit out his com
mand, in a letter which was dated at Lynchburg, saying
"the Government bad kindly undertaken to furnish
all necesssry equipments for his intended expedi
tion.ll Though we do not know tinselly where the
blow will be struck, or in what numbers the rebels
will be prepared to assail us, the "intended expedi
tion" must be set down as a fixed fact
ThM confirms the following statement, published
yesterday by us, taken from a rebel paper :
[From the Raleigh N. ) Confederate 1
General Morgan la about to undertake one o[ the
boldest expeditions he has ever yet made, which, if
successful, will be productive.of great good to our
cause.
It is, therefore, perfectly plain that three distinct
rebel cavalry forces are already busily engaged is
the rcilitaty division of the Bliedesippi i each meting
independently of the other.

The.ffanitary Fair--An Appeal from Go-
veruor Curtin.
PianirSTZ.VAVIA EXECITTIVIS OUAMBER, HARRIS-
Ituto, April 11, 1861.—T0 the People of Pennsylvania:
I have been requested by the Committee of Cot•
respondence to addresse you on the subjeot of the
Fair to be held in Philadelphia, in June next, for
the benefit of the Sanitary Cloramisdon.,
It gives me much pleasure to comply with this
request, and to avail myself of the opportunity alio
of calling your attention to the Fair to be held
in the same week and for the same purpose at
Pittsburg.
I cannot, however, speak of the relief of the sick
and wounded volunteers of the State without say
ing a grateful word in their behalf to you. Charged
by a joint resolution of the Legislature with the
duty of caring for them, it hae been my privilege to
provide for their comfort, and look after their Wel•
fare. To this end the Slate Surgeon General hes at
all times, subject to the regulations of the United
Staten, visited with.corps of surgeons and nurses
the battle-fields, and besides the General Agency
maintained at Washington, special agents have con.
stantly been sent to the camps, to the armies in the
fteld, and to the hospitals ; and at all times, when
the occasion required, or admitted of Such aid, the
provisions made by the United States have been
supplemented by abundant supplies of bandageo,
clothing, delicate food—in fart, everything that
could promote the comfort of our soldiers when suf
fering from wounds or diebase.
The compensation of the general agency and the
general staff, and the expense of medicinea and sup_
plies of like ;character, were of course paid by the
State.
The special agents, men of standing and character
performed all their duties with diligence, fidelity'
and alacrity, and in no instance received any cam!
pensation for their services. I have never had to
seek for such agents. My only regret is that I have
been unable to accept the offered services of too
many men of the same kind, who, being disqualified
for military services, and having freely contributed
of their means to every patriotic purpose, were still
not contented unless they could bestow their time,
labor, and personal attendance on our disabled and
suffering defenders. The bandages, the clothing, the
food, the supplies of all sorts were furnished in
kind by you individually. On every minion
when it haa been made known through the State
that a battle bad been fought, or was expected, or
that from any other cause our sick and wounded vo
lunteers were likely to suffer, the earliest trains
from all quarters have brought the needed supplies
inprofusion. Every hospital within the State has
been beset by individuals of both sexes, but chiefly
mcmen, eager to nurse, to watch, to aid the in
mates. Throughout the cities, towns, villages, ham.
lets, farm-bouses of the Commonwealth, are found
the Reaven•directed benefaetors whole names are
unrecorded ; for whose individual efforts no reward
bas been sought ; but be who has witnessed the re
sults, as I have, must have a heart of stone if it be
not melted by their true, unpretending, gentle, per
sistent, inexhaustible alacrity in this- best and holi
est of good works.
The object of the proposed Fair is to provide
means for similar good works, and it is one that
commends Melt' to every friend of his country—to
all who admire the heroic devotion of the brave
men who are bearing arms in its defence. It is un
derstood that the managers of these Fairs solicit
donations in goods, saleable articles of every de
aoription of manufacture, American glass, produce,
fruits, flowers), paintings, engravings, statuary, and
the income of all the people of the State for one
day. Several similar Fairs have been recently
held, the proceeds of which are stated in the news
papers to exceed one million of dollars. Another is
now being held in New York, and others in Balti
more and St. Louie are to be held in this and the
next month, the proceeds of all which will no doubt
be large. The spirit of emulation has been stimu
lated, and Pennsylvania has been appealed to in the
hope that she will rival her neighbors.
I cheerfully bear my personal testimony to the
prompt and beneficial efforts of the Sanitary Com
mission immediately after several battles, and espe
cially after the battles of Gettysburg, and to the
abundance of supplies then furnished by it.
Beyond this I have no knowledge of its actual
operatione, nor of its internal structure or admin
istrative arrangements. The oppression of public
duties has been too great to allow me to acquire or
seek such knowledge. It is well known, however,
that gentlemen of the highest character participate
in ifs management, and that its objects are patri
otia, meritorious, and charitable.
The proceeds of the Fairs are to pass into the
bards of the Sanitary Commission, as declared by
the committee, for the relief of sick and wounded
soldiers, in anticipation of the opening campaign of
our noble armies ; and the object commends itself
to every friend of his country.
A. G. CURTIN,
Governor of Pennsylvania.
Terrible Marine Disaster.
A terrible disastex occurred in New York harbor
on Friday afternoon. The U. S. war steamer Che
mango, Commander Pillebrown, sailed from the navy
yard for Hampton Roads. She was to have an
chorea at the buoy at Sandy Hook until Saturday,
when she would have been joined by the double tur
reted iron clad Onondaga, which she was to have
convoyed south. But her career was out short by a
fearful disaster. .
About four o'clock P. M., when off Fort Rich
mond, and going ahead under easy steam, without
the slightest suspicion of danger, her port boiler ex•
ploded with a loud report, tearing up her decks and
pia) ing havoc among the unfortunate engineers and
nremen. One poor fellow was blown overboard, and
picked up in a most deplorable condition, and thirty
two others, including three of the engineers, were
most horribly scalded.
One of the men, whole name We 00t1141 not learn,
was instantly killed. Aa soon as the disaster be
came known the U. S. revenue cutter Broux has
tened to the relief of the Onenango. After ascertain.
lug from Oom.Flllebrown the nature of the accident,
the commander - of the Bronx headed for Quarantine,
and speedily brought off several physicians to take
thaw of the sufferers.
The United States steam transport Tilley, Captain
Bourne, from Alexandria, coming up the bay, wit
nessed the explosion, and also immediately went to
her assistance, doing a great deal of good. The little
tug Rose, which was near at hand, likewise rendered
all the aid in her power. The Tilley and tug, and
the cutter Bronx, took the disabled veitel in tow,
and brought her to the navy yard.
Among those severely imbued are :
First Assistant Engineer Joseph N. Cahill (in
charge).
Second Ajoistant Engineer Albert S. Murry.
Second Assistant Engineer Frank P. Boot.
No sooner had the and news reached the navy
yard than Commodore Radford, who in the absence
of Admiral Paulding at Washington, on court mar
tial duty, was in charge, called into requisition all
the becks and wagons which he could command, and
as fast as the scalded men were brought ashore they
were tenderly 'ed into the vehickle . and conveyed
to the United States Marine Hospital. Here Sur
geon Smith, and his competent corps of assistants,
aided by the surgeons of the Ail:relying- ship North
Carolina, and all the other medical gentlemen on
duty on the numerous vessels at the yard, received
the sufferers and administered to their relief.
Many of the poor fellows were literally flayed
alive, some of them being quite blind from the
effects of the stream. Their shriek. and groans
were painful beyond expression ; great, stalwart
men implored the surgeons to give them something
to cane their pain. It was evident that several of
them were beyond mere human aid, and would dud
in death a speedy easement of their sufferings.
The Chenango bad a crew of 130 men. Hoer so
many escaped, on so small a vessel, is a marvel.—N.

THE GEnaren OPenet.—The delightful and al ways
popular opera of /Maths" will begin the season of
Opera, at the Chestnut. street Theatre, to-night.
The wale of seats Will doubtlen, be extensive, and,
as the Works to be produced are among the ablest
and most attractive that we know, the season will
be a brilliant sums& Madame Johannuen.hav won
many triumph', and the public will be pleased to
hear again Madame Fredericre rendering of bfar•

to this, the intelligent baritone of Steineoke, and
the fine base of Hermann, especially, will be wel

and we shall have good opera ones more.
Mr. Grover has made every arrangement for the
success of the season, and the great works in the

Which will be sung on Wednesday, new and splendid
scenery has been painted. Mr. Grover , s Washing
ton season of opera was all that could have been
wished in merit and patronage, and now that Lent

delphia will be rewarded with as brilliant and
fashionable audiences as those which crowded his
theatre at the capital. Mr. Birgfeld remains the
able Lupine" manages.
Ray. Dn. If.. S. STOEBB' OBATION.—This eminent
orator is to, give his oration, "The Nation After its•
Ordeal of thistle," at Concert Hall, next Thursday
evening, April Cie. Dr. Storrs seldom speaks in
this city, and this rare opportunity to heir him
should be improved. At the Sanitary Fair in
Brooklyn he was the editor of the Drum Beat, and
did as much as any man to make that fair success
ful. This oration was lately given in Washington,
where it was considered one of the finest oratorical
efforts of the times. Its effect is to inspire the
American people with the lotiest views of the
power and glory of the cannily after its severe trial
by the Ciecipluce of war. An able writer says of it:
"It is an address that cannot be duplicated in the
nation. There is no other living American possess
ing such reach and readiness of historical know
ledge, such familiarity with gepgraphy, and such a
mass of industrial statistics, combined with such a
thoroughly poet - oat nature, as Dr. Storrs."
TEE ACADEMY or Music to-night will have no
vacant seat, we trust, and we are sure that " Grace
Greenwood" will have no inattentive listener. The
" Lights of the War-Cloud" is a lecture new to bur
city, though by the New York and Washington
press it has been praised so highly that further
compliment would be impossible. The fair lecturer
bas only consented to deliver it for the benefit of the
Ss niiary Fair, endow nearly every seatin the house
bar already been sold, the American soldier wilt
indeed profit by the eloquence and enthusiasm of
one of his truest friends.
RETAIL PRY•GOODS REAMERS AND THE " CZN
TEAL Faze "—The committee in charge of the de
partment of Retail Dry Goode in the Great
Central Fair have issued a circular, published in
another column of The Press this morning, calling
upon this numerous and important elan of our
merchants to systematize their contributions In the
manner designated, in order that due credit may be
given for their liberality in the great cause of
humanity in which they are thus permitted to per
form a part. From the liberal antecedents of this
den of dealers we have no doubt that the depart
ment they represent will be one of the most
portant and interesting, pecuniarily and otherwlee,
in the fair.
