WEDNESDAY, DIAY 4, 1864
Mexico.
Marrow° declared nothing but the truth
w h en he said, almost epigrammatically,
that some men are born to greatness, that
some achieve greatness, and that some have
greatness thrust upon them. The spick
and-span new Emperor of Mexico certainly
stands in the last-named category. Yet a
short time ago he was only the next brother
of the. Emperor of Austria, and now, at the
will of the Emperor of the French, he holds
the sceptre of Mexico, translated from a
republic to an empire, expressly for his
special advantage, We look twelve years
back,- when Na_roLF.oN was only President
of the French republic, and see how the
German princes, wlio had marriageable
daughters and sisters, snubbed him in his
ambitious effort to obtain a wife out of their
crowd, Austria, especially, treating him
with that cold civility which cuts like a
keen Damascus blade. We think of a more
recent time, at Villa Franca, when the two
Emperors had that decisive interview which
ended in Austria's confessing herself
beaten, and consenting to surrender LOM
briiily to VICTOR EM MANUEL of Sardinia.
Surely the insult of 1852 was atoned for by
the submission of 1859. But this does not
suffice for _NAPOLEON, who heaps coals of.
lire on the head of FRANCIS JOSEPH, by
selecting, hits brother to wear the imperial
diadem of Mexico.
There were two hitches on the accept
ance, however, one being personal, and the
ether Material. 3.l..axprutrart, who is
some two years younger than his bro
ther, the Emperor of Austria, ivat
heir-prestunntive to the throne, until An
gust, 1858, when Fnaxers JOSEPH'S only
son, the heir-apparent, was bore. If that
child, not yet six years old, whose Mother .
is consumptive, should die, and the Empe;
ror of Austria have no other male issue,
Maxi.urmax would be heir to the throne,
and, in the event of surviving his brother,
would have the. right of succession to the
throne of Austria. Now, though not un
willing to take advantage of the chances
which have cast the Mexican crown at his
acceptance, 111AxIMILIAN hesitated to com
ply with his brother's requirement that, on
becoming Emperor of Mexico, he should
abandon all claim or right, under any eir 7
cumstances, to the Austrian succession. It
is very possible—we should say that it is
very probable—that monarchy may prove
a -failure in Mexico, and that MAXIMILIAN
may have to return to Europe, with broken
fortunes. But the concession which he has
finally made, as the price of his brother's
permitting him to accept a foreign crown,
is that, whatever may betide, he will never
seek to resume his position as an Austrian
prince. The Archduke CHARLES, his
younger brother, steps into his shoes, and
may one day wear the crown of Austria.
MaxnathraaT ventures on an ambitious ex
periment, anti may realize the truth of the
table of the dog and the shadow.
The other horn of the dilemma was—the
impossibility of assuming sovereign power
in Mexico, without having a good supply of
money to " foot the bill." By NAPOLEON'S
influence, a loan will be raised for Mexico
from European capitalists. The amount will
be $87,250,000. Out of this, forthe expenses.
of the French in Mexico, up to July, 1864,
NAPOLEON will deduct $12,200,000. There
are now some 40,000 French troops in
Mexico, whose number is to be reduced,
Its early as possible, to 25,000, and for
tacit of these men—besides subsistence,
clothing, and pay—Mexico must pay $2OO to
France, making an annual disbursement,
literally for blood-money, of $5,000,000.
Moreover, a German legion of 5,000 vo
lunteers will also proceed to Mexico, and
the cost of maintaining them has to be
added to the other expenses. After paying
the war - Indemnity to France, there will
zo r tg if o it l x ot iF:,, a rrp
to- commence business with as Emperor,
with a further yearly drain of $5,000,000 to
France, and also the pay, clothing, and
subsistence of 25,000 French soldiers.
In fact, MAXDIILIAN has little chance of
getting on, in Mexico, without more mo
ney. A second loan can scarcely be ob
tained in Europe_ His only chance, against
I hat impecuniosity which is as unpleasant
to crowned heads as to less pretentious in
dividuals, soon will be, to seize the Church
property, which is of immense value in
Mexico, and if he attempt this, the conse
quent opposition from the powerful Catho
lic clergy will be found perplexing, if not
fatal. All things considered, the - United
States hate nothing to apprehend from the
Emperor of Mexico, should he be so ill-ad
vised as to enter into hostility with us.
The Pay of Colored Soldiers.
In early youth we have all learned, under
the terrors of the birch, that Ira breads furor
est—anger is temporary madness ; but,
sacred as we are in the habit of holding
the maxims of our spelling books, the pub
lic events of the last twenty years will
force us to erase the brevis from that time
worn adage. For surely there can scarcely
be an element of soundness in the minds
that conceived and dared to attempt to
carry out the slaveholders' rebellion.
There were energy, intellect, courage, am
bition ; bus all so directed, so entirely
subordinated to the accomplishment of a
fixed . purpose, which is repugnant to the
natural course of human affairs, as to form
a genuine instance of insanity ; one which
would be easier capable of proof than many
that have been confidently relied upon in
courts of law.
Nowhere is this mental obliquity more
clearly or frequently manifested than in the
discussions of our quack Union-savers, who
are so horrified at the negro having his
freedom bestowed upon him. Nothing can
be more billy, more childishly illogical,
than their reasoning (?) on this their fa
vorite topic of debate and conversation.
" Do you consider a negro equal to a white
man ?" " No." " Then why do you
make him equal ?" is the -triumphant an
saver ; and it is astounding, as well.las
miliating, that so many of our people are
imposed on by this nonsense. Grant, for
the sake of, the argument, that the negroes
are physically and mentally inferior to the '
whites ; that they are of a different race
and separate origin ; how, in the name of
all that is miraculous, is legislation to,
make them our equals ? Wild horses are
free, domestic horses are enslaved ; are,
therefore, wild horses equal to a white
man? Those who class negroes with mules
may get out of this dilemma as they can.
Is the signature of ABRAHAM LuccoLN able
to raise a stupid, lazy, ignorant, degraded
negro, who has never seen anything but a
cotton field, to the average level of the
whites of this country ?
There are two reasons why this course of
reasoning is so common and so conclusive
to Southern minds. In the first place, they
know that many negroes are capable of
equalling some of the best of the whites, and
that many of the whites are as low as the
most degraded negro. By the edict of
emancipation, the black has an opportuni
ty 'of carrying equalweight in his race with
the white, and many a poor devil in a
white skin sees, with prophetic eyes, a long
procession of the despised sons of Ham
passing him on the road to power and
wealth, so fast that "you would think h e
was tied to a post." Hine aim lachrymm.
In the second place, the only criterion of
political equality among the Southerners
has been immunity from the whip. There
were but two classes, the " whipper," and
he who was liable to be " whipped." The
meanest - white could with impunity kick or
rob a negro, and the latter would not dare
to resist, nor would he be protected if he
should. Theoretically, this state of things
is abolished by the proclamation of emanci
pation, and eight millions of people are
thereby deprived of the luxury of knowing
for certain that they do not belong to the -
jowest order of human beings -_a piece
of inhuman cruelty unparalleled in the his
tory of the world.
We need not expect that genuine dyed
in-the-wool pro-slavery men will ever com
prehend any policy or any legislation in
regard to the blacks which proceeds on the
assumption of their liberty. They cannot
conceive of so elevated a thought any more
than a sieve can hold water. Their minds
and characters are so constructed as to make
the propriety of African slavery appear as
natural to them as the rising of the sun or the
changes of the moon. They cannot explain it
nor give any good reason for it any more than
they can for the astronomical Phenomena,
but they believe in it with the stupid obsti
nacy of ignorance and bigotry. Our only
course is to go on as we have begun, guided
by our common sense and by the progress
of the freedmen themselves. The measure
equalizing the payment of colored and
white troops is a step in the right
direction. Colored troops are doing
the • service for which white troops
would otherwise be required, and, experi
ence goes to show, will, after an equal
amount of drill, do it quite as well. They,
therefore, are entitled to as much pay, for
precisely the same reason that, at the North,
they would get equal pay for work they
could do equally well—they . earn ...the
money: They would get the same price
for a rod of ditching, for an acre of plough
ing, for a job of carpenter's or blacksmith's
work, as a white man, simply as a matter
of common justice. Is justice forbidden
in the army ? Whatever work a negro can
do lie has a right to be paid for at the full
market value. Any legislative distinction
against him is obviously unjust, for it offers
an obstacle jto his deVelopment in his new
condition, and the obstacles which the poor
unfortunate will have to : meet, and-which
lie entirely outside the power of the legis
lature either to create or remove, are sutll
ciently• appalling to daunt the stoutest
heart. And yet the morning has come,
and• the sky , brightens momentarily.
The State of Frankland.
A movement for the purpose of creating
a new State out of East Tennessee, with
the name of Frankland, has been for some
time active in that neighborhood, a propo
sition to this effect haying reached, we I
hear, the Convention at Knoxville: The
people of Middle Tennessee, with Gov.
Jourts.ow and one or two other prominent
East Tennesseans, are opposed -to the
measure, but the citizens of the latter sec
tion are said to be generally in its faVor.
We hardly think it wise or right to divide
so important a State as Tennessee, so
wholly necessary to itself, in the new mis
sion which it has received from the war,
whatever privilege their isolated sufferings
and peculiar situation have conferred on
the people of East Tennessee. Frankland,
the name of the proposed new State, was,
as our readers are aware, the name given
in honor of BENJ..kMnsi FRANKLIN to the
small and short-lived republic which JouN
SENtEu, :the daring pioneer and first Go
vernor of Tennessee, set up for himself and
his friends when the western counties of
North Carolina rebelled against the parent
State. A brief history of the old State of
Frankland was given in the editorial of
THE Puss five months ago, and there the
name of Frankland was first recalled in
connection with the proposition to. form a
new State out of East Tennessee.
LETTER FROM **OCCASIONAL."
WASHINGTON; May 3, 1804
I need not direct your attention to the
proceedings of the meeting of American
women—wives and daughters of soldiers
in the field, of officers of the navy, of mem
bers of the Cabinet, and of members of
Congress, of authoresses of distinction,
and of widows who have lost their hus
bands, and mothers who have lost their
sons, in battle—which took place yesterday
afternoon, at Dr. Sunderland's Church, on
Four-and-a-half street, in this city. You
will find them in this morning's Chroni
cle, and I hope you will transfer
them to the pages of Tins. PRESS. The
-s• i., 4 - +llll
women of the country in the earnest
resolution to purchase no imported articles
of apparel where American articles can be
substituted, during the continuance of the
war. The association . organized by the
meeting is to tie called "The Ladies' Na
tional Covenant," and the pledge the
members of the main society and auxili
ary societies must take, is as follows : "For
three years., or for the tear, lee pledge our
selves to each other and to the country to
purchase no imported article of apparel."
What golden words ! What a clear and
powerful invocation to the fulfilment of a
holy duty ! -The number of the ladies, and
the spirit they exhibited, though I have
heard of both from those who were pre
sent, are best proved by the proceedings
themselves. The example they offer, not
alone to the women but to the men of
America, should and must extend beyond
the mere exigencies of !the war, if it is
generally accepted and . acted upon ; for
it is not merely the Government that 'will
be helped if the loyal American women re
spond to the appeal of their sisters here at
the National Capital, nor even the soldiers
'who are fighting for all of us ; but the hun
dreds and thousands of females who have
always been miserably paid for their honest
toil will be incalculably assisted. This
class of our countrymen suffer now more
than ever, and the extraordinary ano
maly is presented that, while . many
are prosperous who have heretofore
only known what it was to labor and to
want, the workingwomen are paid the
most limited wages. Even in the -Govern
ment shops their compensation is a re
proach and a shame, and more than one
fortunate contractor increases his profits by
his cruel exactions upon and insufficient
pay to those who do his work, es
pecially the - women. The servant girl
is often better rewarded for her ser
vices, and too often safer from the dan
gers to unprotected women, than the seam
stress or the teacher. These are harsh
truths, but they must be told ; and I have
reflected upon them a thousand times with
unutterable anguish. No more import
ant subject could be considered by states
men and philanthropists. Why, then,
should not this " Covenant," so auspicious
ly startedby the American women, be the
instrument of solving the great question of
protection to the females who are forced to
depend upon their own industry for sap
port ? The more immediate province of
that association is, however, to be now
considered. The address of the ladies who
met here last evening, understood to be the
production of Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, states
the case so fully and eloquently that I
need only ask attention to it. There
is not a word in it that does not de
serve to be carefully studied. What
loyal heart will not respond to it ? What
American woman will not feel that it ap
peals to her own best impulses ? The sa
crifice asked is not considerable. It is not
to destrOy the valuables on hand, whether
of dresses or of jewelry, but to cease pur- •
chasing any more until the war has closed,
and, if possible, to cease wearing those
mockeries of fashion and of luxury so illy
suited to this period of blood, of death, and
of devastation. A thousand other conside
rations enter into this question, not enu
merated in the address to which I refer.
When plain attire becomes the fashion, hu
man vanity will not be tempted to exceed
its means, and the poorest woman will no
longer feel that her poverty is proved
by the absence of gaudy robes and
glittering jewelry. When Napoleon
invaded Prussia, the German women
threw their diamonds into the public
treasury, and substituted iron filagree work,
much of which is preserved to this day as
the relics of their patriotism ; and, as I said
before, if the women of our country adopt
this policy, the men will surely imitate
them. Heretofore, it has been a costly
thing to follow the fashion. Now, let it be
the fashion to be economical, and while it
will cost nothing to follow it, so far as we
are individually concerned, we will be
saving millions upon millions to our suffer
ing country. Oce.a.suniAL.
The British Ministry.
The resignation of Mr. ROBERT LOWE,
one of the editors of The Times, has been
accepted by Lord PALmEnsworr, and his
office of Vice President of the Board
of Education has been offered to and
accepted by Mr. HENRY AUSTIN BRUCE,
M. P. for Marthyr Tydell, and nephew
to Lord Justice KNIGHT BRUCE, a bar
rister who withdrew from practice in 1843,
and has since been police magistrate in
the country, which office he resigned on
entering Parliament in 1852. He has latterly
been. one of the five under-Secretaries of
State, and is a decided liberal in politics.
As Mr. LowE is thus given up, it may be
expected that, ere long, the " thunders" of
The Times will be directed against the Pal
merston Administration. The surrender,
thus readily, of Mr. LOWE, may be con
sidered as the result of the Cobden-Bright
quarrel with The nines, last November.
No one will regret Mr. LowE's retire
ment. He was an overbearing, ill-tem
pered man.
GEORGE. TIEOMPSON. — This gentleman is
to speak to-night at West Chester, and tia,
morrow night in the Covenanters' Church,
Cherry street, below Eleventh, in this city.
He could not have a better subject than
English and American Copperheads. Mr.
THoMrsOtt is said to be in improved health
and good spirits. He is much pleased with
the cordial reception he everywhere meets
with.
The church in which he is to speak on
Friday night is not large, and a limited
nuniber of tickets are to be sold. This - will
afford every one a sure seat, with a fair
Chance of seeing and hearing the speaker.
Tile Fort Pillow Demonism.
Fifty-seven deposition.: before the Congressional
committees, have more than eonfirmed the newspa-'
per accounts of the terrible butchery at Fort Pillow.
This massacre oven the romance of cruelty will not
equal. There was wanting nothing to prove' that
crucifixion, burying alive, and burning to death,
were among the varieties of torture which Forrest
andfbis mon indicted upon their victims with the in
genious savagery of Bends. To show, by antece
dents, the character of the scoundrel under whom
these crying murders wore committed, Major Gene
ral David S. Stanley, commander of cavalry in the
Army of the Cumberland, gives a well-authenti
cated insfaetee of deliberate murder perpetrated by
General Forrest in person. Further light is thrown
upon the subject by the knowledge that before the
war Forrest was a notorious slave-trader, and one of
the most malignant and heartless of the kind. It is
a question 'whether a slave-trader could be less than
a murderer. Knowing this fact, the massacre, ter
rible as it was, would not have been a great sur
prise.
TREASON IN PENNSYLVANIA.—The Selinsgrove
Times of Friday publishes Long's infamous specek
with the following editorial recommendation :
"Nothing can better repay the reader than an
attentive perusal of Mr. Long's speech. We endorse
every word of it, and more too. Mr. Long is a true
patriot and statesman."
The same paper contains the following remarks,
which entitle the editor to arrest : --
" The Yankees at Memphis are very severe on the
rebel ladies, and won't allow them to wear their
rebel badges. But they finally managed to outwit
the Puritan nigger-worshippers by quitting to wear
hoops. By this sign they all know each other. Good
for them." '
A Pennsylvania newspaper has no right to pub
-1151 treason. ,
Public Entertainments.
THE MUSICAL FESTIVAL.—In One respect, at
least, and it hi to be hoped in many, our Great
Central Fair in aid of the United States Sanitary
Commission will surpass all others, yet or to be
held. This evening, a Musical Festival, to be con
tinued through a fortnight, will properly commence
this Samaritan celebration. Nothing like it has yet
been given in this country. It will consist of operas,
(in the English language,) oratorios, and vocal and
instrumental concerts. With scarcely one excep
tion, all the leading artists assisting are either
American by birth or by adoption, and the opening
performance, at the Academy of Music, this' eve
ning, will be a new opera in four acts, by a Phila
delphia composer, who Is himself undeniably the
belt musical critic in the American press. We al
lude to the opera entitled "Notre Dame of Paris,"
the music composed by William Henry Fry, and
the libretto by his brother, Joseph R. Fry. It has
never before been performed, though it had a nar
row escape, on one occasion, at New York, When it
was proposed to translate it and produce it there in
Italian. This, and the other operas, (Balfe's "Bo
hemian Girl," and. Vincent Wallace's " Maritana,"
with .the Oratorios,) will all be represented in
English, the language of those wile may be expect
ed to form the audience at each representation.
"Notre Dame of Paris " is founded on that grand
and thrilling romance of the same name, with
which, oref thirty years ago, Victor Hugo, taking
the old Cathedral itself for a hero, so to say, eleetrl
hed the world of readers. Mr. W. H. Fry has very
_ grell.l, I , .trovart.... m
question. He shows the character and the fortunes
of Eorneralda, of the hunchback • Quasimodo, of the
debased Dam Franck, of the loving and light
hearted Captain De Chaleaupers, of Lieutenant
Florian, and of the desolated and child-robbed mo
ther, Gudule. He distributes the parts thus : Esme
ralda, the heroine, to Dire. Borchert; - soprano;
De Chateaupers, to Mr. Castle, tenor; Cudule,
Mrs. Kempton, contralto ; Quasinsodo, to Mr. Se
guin,- basso ; and Dorn Frollo and Florian to Messrs.
Campbell and Skaats. These will be supported by
a chorus of one hundred, an orchestra and mill ,
tary band of ninety-five, a ballet, &e., of one hun
dred and fifty performers, while the Oratorio Chorus
includes members of the Handel and Haydn So
ciety, of the Harmonic, Society, of eleven Ger
man ehoral societies of thiVeity, and of the Mozart
Musical Union, of Reading, forming an aggregate
of many hundreds of voices. New scenery, repre
senting Faris in the time of Louis XL, nearly four
centuries ago, has been painted by Russell Smith,
Hawthorne, and other eminent artists, and every
accessory, however gorgeous or eccentric, that
the spectacle part of, the opera may require, will be
found correctly and liberally supplied. The exi
gencies of the piece demand an organ and a peal of
full-sized bells. These have been supplied, Mr.
Buffington, the organ builder, having erected a
church-organ on the stage, and Messrs. Naylor Sc
Co. having lent the bells. Nothing has been left
undone or unsupplied to give a verisimilitude to
the piece. We are happy to add that the plot of the
opera is more simple than that of the prose romance,
which is a decided advantage.
In our advertising columns more particular details
tlntn, those which we here condense will be found.
The list of performers will show how largely and
liberally, with a view to the thorough completeness
which insures it, success has been studied by the
committee in charge of the musical entertainments.
The prices have purposely been put low, so as to
allow the greatest number to "assist" (as audi
tors and spectators) at the performances—
namely, $8 for the series of six operas, which
will secure a reserved seat in the parquet,
parquet circle, or balcony, and $4 for a reserved seat
in the family circle. The first oratorio (Haydn's
"Creation") will be given to-morrow evening, ad
mission Ai, with 25 cents for reserved seats. Single
tickets for this evening's opera are on sale at the
Academy of Music, and Gould's music Store, corner
of Chestnut and Seventh streets.
Of course, there will be a crowded house to-night,
to witness the first representation of anew opera by
an American compoger, who is alsoa Philadelphian,
"to the manor born."
WALNUT-STREET THEATRE.—Mr. and Mrs. Flo
renee>s engagement at this establishment has been
very successful. Yesterday evening the house was
filled to witness the performance of the new Irish
drama, "Kathleen Mavourneen," which was pre
ceded by the comedietta of "Thrice Married." The
last named piece, in which Mrs. Florence sustains
several characters, is very absurd, but extremely
amusing, and produced shouts of laughter. "Kath
leen Mavourneen" is a thrilling drama, and the
character of the hero is well suited to Mr. Florence's
powers. The saute gill will be repeated this eve
ning.
CHESTSM-STREET THEATIZE.—At this popular
place of amusement the new burlesque, " Eily
O'Connor," and the comedy of " The Bull in the
China Shop," are being played to large audiences.
Mr. Mortiroor peifortns well the character of Bag
shot in the comedy, which has had great success in
New York previous to its production here.
THEATRICAL ARRIVALS.—WE notice . that Mr.
and Mrs. .Toseph L. Barrett are now in this city,
having returned after fulfilling a very pleasant and
profitable engagement at New Orleans. The lady,
who is niece to Mrs. Bowers and Km F. W. Conway,
and has not very long been out of her teens, has so
successfully studied her profession that she is now a
most promising comedienne. Her best performance, in
New Orleans, was Rosa Leigh, in Lester Wallaca's
play of "Rosedale," in which her husband played
the character of the Doctor so as to raise it from its
usual subordinate position. Mr. Barrett, whom we
remember as a- very clever young actor at the Wal•
nut-street Theatre, also, is very successful. At
present, these young performers are " unattached"
to any theatre, but, no doubt, will soon have their
full choice of eligible engagements.
THEATRICAL ClTArioN.—On. slit, that Mrs.
Thayer, Miss Graham, and little Miss Cornelia
Jefferson are engaged by Mrs. Drew, for the next
season at the Arch-street Theatre. Of course, Mrs.
GareetSon will have to reinforce her company to
compete with such formidable rivals as Mrs. Drew
and Mr. Grover. We believe that Mr. S. Hemple
will_continue at the Walnut-street Theatre, and also
Mr. Bascombe, who is not only one of the best cos
tumed of our amrs, but has worked himself up into
a very respectable position in the " walking-gentle
man" characters.

In carrying into execution that part of the sen
tence whieh requires that Commodore Wilkes shall
be publicly reprimanded, I hardly need say more to
an officer of his age and experience in the service
than that the promulgation of such charges, and of
the decision upon them by a conrt composed of offb ,
cers of the highest rank in the navy t constitutes in
itself a reprimand sufficiently poignant and severe
to any one who may have the desire to preserve un
tarnished his record in the service.
The Department would gladly have been spared
the unpleasant duty which has devolved upon it in
this case ; but the appeal made to the public by the
accused in the papers, which the court has pro
nounced to be "of an insubordinate and disrespect
ful character, containing remarks and statements
not warranted by the facts," rendered it necessary
for the Department either to tolerate the disrespect
and submit to the unfounded aspersion; or refer the
case to the investigation and decision of a court
martial. GIDEON IVELDES,

least, and it has now every prospect of realizing all

GRANT'S MOVEMENTS
Gen. Averill on a Raid in Southwest Virginia.
WAsnrwopo.r.-, May S.—The counsels of the mili
tary authorities are kept remarkably secret. Here
tofore, on the eve of a battle, some idea could be
formed of the contemplated movements, but now
they are matters of mere speculation, both among
prominent civilians and even army officers. The
utmost confidence, however, is reposed in those
having the direct conduct of affairs, and due credit
is given for their wisdom in preventing premature
disclosures.
The Navy Department has received copies of tho
Richmond Examine?• of the 28th ult.
A Fredericksburg correspondent of the Examiner,
writing tinder date of April 27, says :
The opinionlprovails in Washington that Lee's
army, in numerical strength, does not exceed fifty
thousand men. To oppose this force, or rather for
the purpose of attack, (}rant has required that the
Army of the Potomac shall be rendered one hundred
thousand strong. To this end reinforcements to that
army have been continually passing up the Orange
and Alexandria railway for the past ten days. Ten
days hence it will be ready for the advance, which
is universglly desired in the United States, from
Lincoln down, or up,.whichever phrase you prefer.
The commonly received opinion that Grant will
attack Lee in front and in his fortifications is erro
neous. He will seek to turn the flank of our army
and his policy is, evidently, to maintain his present
position until his organization and equipment arc
thoroughly accomplished, and then, by suddenly
unfolding his strategy, to surprise Gen. Lee. He
may march rapidly and without announcement
either to some point of crossing on the Rapidan or
Rappahannock, or to Port 'Republic, thence to
Staunton, thence to Lynchburg. I think an at
tempt to flank on the east the 'more probable, his
army crossing at some of the lower fords of the
Rappahannock. This, however, is all conjecture,
and but the echo of Washington - gossip.
A despatch to the Enquirer from Orange Court
House, under dale of April 27, says " that Averill

RETIIIM OF Ray. Du. MCCLIWTOOK.—The New
York Commercial Advertizer of last evening says ;-
Among-, the passengers in the Scotia, from Liver
pool, is the Rev. Dr. McClintock, corresponding
editor of the New York Methodist, who, for the last
four years, has been pastor of the American Chapel
in Faris, and nobly has he performed the duties of
pastor and citizen of the United States: Pew men
who have been in Europe, in any capacity, during
the terrible civil war that has prevailed, have done
more to sustain the honor of his country than Dr.
McClintock. He has left behind him many endear
ed friends in the Old World, and comes home to re
ceive the congratulations of hundreds' In this nun•
try, double endeared to them by the public services
rendered by him to his country.
It is known to most that while at Paris, Dr..
McClintock was in the service of the Christian
Union. The Christian World notices the return of
the reverend gentleman thus : " Dr. McClintock
has done a most glorious work for the cause of
Christ during his residence In Paris. Through his
able and efficient labors, the Chapel has been en
tirely self-sustaining; nor have his labors been con
fined to the duties which devolved upon him In eon.
nection with the Chapel. The doctor is a noble
hearted Christian patriot, and his labors have been
untiring for the welfare of his country. Two years
since he went to London to attend the anniversaries,
and there, like our friend, Mr. Beecher, nobly bat
tled for the right. Through his influence and
speeches, the great body of the Wesleyans.in Eng
land have been our firm and steadfast friends."
XXXVIIIth 'CONGRESS SESSION'
WASHINGTON, May 3, 1864.
SENATE.
Bills IntrodneOd'and in Progress.
Mr. FESSENDEN reported, from the Finance Commit
tee, the army appropriation bill as amended by. the
House; and asked that the Senate non-concur and re
quest a committee of conference, which was adopted.
Mr. HARLAN reported, from the Committee on Pub
lie Lands, a bill for the disposal of coal lands, and of
town property, in the public domain, which provides
for the survey and sale of coal lands at auction, at a
minimum price of twenty dollars per acre, and the sur
vey of sites for towns in lots of not more than four thou
sand two hundred feet, at a minimum price of ten dol
lars per lot.
Mr. SHERMAN called up the following
.resolution:
That a quorum of the Senate hereafter consist of a ma
jority of the Senators present duly qualified.
Mr. SHERMAN said the House had decided that a ma
jority of those chosen constituted a quorum, and we
should pasea similar rule. It was never intended that
this Government should be broken up, either by open
secession or for want of a quorum. We had yesterday
all example of the evil effect of the present rule, when.
at five o'clock, just as an important bill was about to
pass, the Senate found itself without a quorum.
Mr. FOSTER opposed the resolution, as there would
be more difficulty in finding a quorum then than now.
f g e 'l l i t e . more the responsibility was divided the less it was
Mr. DAVIS considered this the most important sub. ,
jeet ever presented to the Senate, and he hoped, in order
to allow it to be fully discussed, that it would be made
the special order for to-morrow at 12.11
Mr. ANTHONY introduced a Lill to expedite and regu

that the Senate recede from its amendmentlimitlng the
pay of -judge advocate general to $4,000. with rank of

After some debate the question .was taken on the

After some delay in fruitless efforts to get a quorum,
Mr. GRIMES moved. to adjourn, which was rejected

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES:
Increasing the Pay of ttleliers—Possage
of the Dill.
•
Mr. SCHENCK, of Ohio, from the Committee on Mili
tary Affairs reported a bill providing that, on and after
the let of stay next, the pay of privates in the army
shall be increased from $l3 to $l6 a month, and that of
non-commissioned officers as follows: Corporals, $18;
sergeants, $2O; orderly sergeants, $24; sergeant major,
$26 per month, Clerks and paymasters to receive dila°
per annum, etc.
Mr. SCHENCK moved the previous question,and was
about to explain the bill; when
Mr. COX., of Ohio, asked his colleague to withdraw
the demand so as to allow him to amend the bill by in
creasing the day of private soldiers to $lB per month,
and non-commissioned officers $2O. Even this sum
would hardly be enough to keep pace with - the increase
of the , price of necessaries of life for the families of the
soldiers. His (Mr. Cox's) friends, on this side of the
House, offered this in good faith.
Mr. t4CHENCK delined to comply,_ having been in
structed by his committee to urge the present bill.
Mr. DAWSON, of Pennsylvania, appealed to Mr.
Schenck. Ile was chairman of the Democratic caucus,
and desired to offer what that caucus had agreed to offer
for the soldiers.
Mr. SCHENC . K replied that if the Democratic caucus
were more numerous than the lUnion caucus they could
vote down the motion for the previous question.
. Mr. Schenck proceeded to explain the bill. Both the
Senate and House have acted upon the proposition to
eeLualize the pay of the white and colored soldiers.
The Committee on Military Affairs had principally
confined themselves to the increase of pay.
In the course of his remarks he said it was proposed to
amend a former law, so that officers may have leave of
absence for causes other than sickness or wounds, with
out deduction of pay and allowance, and that the ab
sence shall not exceed thirty days in any one year.
The ration of 1861 is reetoredonaking a reduction of
$1.29 a month. This took away nothing essential to the
soldier's comfort and subsistence, and gave him sup
plies equal to those of any soldiers in the world, and
twice as much as those of Jeff Davis.
In the aggregate the Government will save considera
ble, while the soldier is paid five or six times as much
in cash as the deduction in the increase of his pay.
The bill was passed unanimously—yeas 12.3. nays
none.
The Naval Appropriation.
Mr. STP,VPSS of Pennsylvania, reported, from the
Committee of Ways and Means, the Senate amend
ments to the navy appropriation bill, and the House
concurred in those appro.priating seven millions two
hundred thousand dollars for the completion of screw
steam sloune+, tour millions for the purchase and repair
of vessels for the Western waters, and three millions for
the purchase and charter of vessels fur blockading
pitrposes,
The Senate struck out the appropriation of a hundred
and thirty-tlye thousand dollars for the purchase of the
land adjoining the Charlestown navy pant, and on this
amendment the Committee of Ways and Means recom
mended a non-concurrence.
. . .
Mr. HOLMAN, of Indiana, moved the reduction of
the appropriation to sixty thousand dollars, showing
that thin was the value of the property last autumn.
Mr. STEVENS explained the circumstances under
which this subset came before the Committee of aye
and Means. The appropriation was recommended by
all the commandants who had been at the yard; by Ad
miral Smith, Chief of the Bureau of Yards and Docks,
and by t3ocrotary Weller, who all consider the purchase
of this property necessary for the Government uses.
Mr. RICE, of Massachusetts, showed that the enlarge
ment of the Charlestown navy yard had become none -
sail' by the large increase of the navy. •
The debate was continued, those wh6 opposed the an
propriation regarding it as a speculation.
The House concurred in the Senate amendment—yeas
56, nays .16; and also concurred in the Senate amend
ment providing that no money appropriated for the
Naval Academy shall be applied for the support of any
midshipman who shall not hereafter be appointed in
strict conformity with the law.
The. Mouse considered Senate amendment providing
that the Naval Academy shall be returned and re-esta
blished at Annapolis before the commencement of the
next academic year.
Mr. DIXON. of Rhode Island, said that on the break
ing out of the rebellion the Academy was removed to
Newport by the Secretary of the Navy. The same au.
Moray that removed it can restore tt. The academic
year will commence September, 1563, and if occasion
should occur for its removal before that time, it would
doubtless be done. Rambles. the Naval Academy'pro
perty at Annapolis was occupied by the War Depart
ment, which had declined to surrender it.
Mr. STEVENS, of Pennsylvania, said that Newport is
a large and fashionable place, anti, with all its vices, is
no lit place for a young matt. It was always r better to
.have seminaries of learning in small_ villages, where
there are few temptations to vice. . Annapolis is a small
village, and just about the right Sher. By returning to
Annapolis, the Government will save seventy-live or n
-hundred thousand dollars.

a Democratic Administration, with its patronage and

the aid of Northern Democrats, and now kept alive in
the hope that the same party will come to lb. assist- •
ance.
The course of Democrats here was doing more fox the
rebellion than our defeats on the battle-field. While
they held 'President Lincoln to a strict account, and
charged him with violations of the Constitution, they
have no complaints to utter against the rebels, who set
the Constitution at defiance. They want to render him
powerless to punish traitors. In conclusion, Mr. Per
haln Said slavery must cease with the last struggle of
the rebellion.
• Mr. KERNAN, of New York, examined the provi
stone of the bill under consideration, and opposed it be
cause, according to his judgment, tt was in violation
and subversive of the great fundamental principle, on
which the General and State Governments stand. The
people could, according to the bill, enioi CIVIL and do
mestic institutions only on the three conditions named,
thus trampling under foot all the power of the States.
The Federal Government has no right to interfere with
the people in. changing tlieir Conatittition and making
their laws.
We can do nothing morn than to guarantee a repub
lican government in accordance with the Coniditution.
He believed the effect of the bill would be to crush out
the loyal men in those States, and stimulate them to re
sistance. It was a subversion of the powers of the peo
ple of a State, which are inherent, and of which they
cannot lawfully be deprived.
Gentlemen should not, while seeking topreserve the
Government. be influenced by feeling and prejudice.
The question is not how much the South have sinned,
lint what is wise and best for a happy and peaceful
Union for both North. and South ; for history tolls us if
we disregard the Constitution, which is the great bond
which holds the Union together, we will not only tram
plc upon the rights of States, but destroy our own
ties. We will not save and restore the people of the
land under tine Government by trampling on the gua
rantees of the Constitution. Drive out the usurpers,
and the people will take care of their own States.
771 e mime of Samuel .T. Itandall, of Pennsylvania,
was erroneously printed in favor of, instead or against,
the bill equalizing the pay of colored troop., iindlilaeing
them on the wane footing with white soldiers.
LEONARD MYERS, of Pennsylvania, asked and ob
tained leave to record his vote in favor of the same mea
sure.
The Rouse then took a recess till 7 P. M.
EVENING SESSION.
Republican State Governmenni
The bill guaranteeing republican governments to
States subverted by the rebellion being Ruder conside
ration,
-
Mr. GOOCH, of Massuchusetts,said for years the ar
gument was between freedom and slavery. The latter
being defes ted. appealed to arms, and hence this bloody
conflict. He believed that there was sufficient power to
have crushed the rebellion in-the very bud.
Had James Buchanan been in the Presidential chair
in the place of Jackson. John . C. Calhoun, instead of
being an extinguished nullifier, would have been
President of the so-called Confederacy and. if Jackson
had been in the place of Buchanan, Jefferson Davis
would have been an extinguished Secessionist, instead
of President of the Southern Confederacy. To
save the Government it was necessary -to destroy
slavery, and we must provide in the funda
mental. law, as proposed by the bill under con
sideration'
that involuntary servitude shall be forever
prohibited and the freedom of all persons guaranteed.
He did not believe the rebels have ceased to be subject
to. tho. Government, or that they are out of the Union.
But- no matter what laws may be passed by Congress
and acts done by the Executive respecting the States
revolted or subverted by treason the recognition of a
reorganized Government by both the Senate and House
of Representatives and the other departments becomes
necessary before they can be restored to their rights fn
the Union. - • . -
Mr. PERRY, of New jersey, said not one . less - victory
would have been won by our army if the President had
not issued his proclamation, and if Congress had been
dumb. Presidential proclamations and Congressional
action bad only been clogs to victory, and our army has
achieved successes in spite of them. As the Adminis
tration spurned the advice of General McClellan, he had
no hope' that his own counsels could arrest the acts of
those in power. Having rejected. that general's mili
tary plans, so of his civil policy, which went hand-in
band. But there was a - higher authority to which he
would appeal. The, people, who are quick to detect
imbecility Nand corruption, will - listen to counsels.
Though they may be misled for a time, it cannot long
continue. They will render justice to all. He spoke in
condemnation of the President and the Administration
generally_
. FERNANDGWOOD, of New York, geld he had carefully
examined this bill and the speech of the chairman of the
select committee, Mr. Davis, of Maryland, to ascertain
on what fact he predicated the assertion that State Go
vernments have been overthrown. The gentleman de
clared that there can be no republican State Govern
ment which does not recognize Congress and the Pre
sident, and that the Governments here repre
sented are the only governments existing. This was
a vast assumption,and the extreme of folly.
The Confederate Constitution, with all its elements of
republicanism, is an improvement on our own,becanse
it more clearly defines the powers- of the States. The
people of the Southern States to-day enjoy a higher de
gree of liberty , than we have had for the last three
years. North Carolina openly opposes the Confederate
Executive, What Northern State would dare to follow
the example in respect to our own? Doubtless, despo
tism exists at the South, as military authority is always
repugnant to liberty. To impose on any people a govern
ment against their will would be the worst form of go
vernment. lie controverted the doctrine enunciated
by the gentleman from Maryland, contending whatever
may be the condition of the ccuntry, the States !remain.
He proceeded to notice Mr. Schenck's former remarks,
who had charged that he had recomtneaded the SeCOS
mon of Now York. To this ho replied that he did, on
the first of January, 1861, in advance of any secession
by any State, in a special message to the Common Coun
cil, recommend that, if the repeated wrongs and out
rages of the State Legislature should bo repeated. on the
city, that it should become a free city; apt, however,
independent of the Federal Government. Another
charge was, that he bad - made a speech at the great
Union meeting, in April, 1861, and there declared him
self to be a War Democrat, and the gentleman added
he spoke by his side an the platform, and said, you may
call it an honor, or a. dishonor, if you will. His parti
cipation, however, was confined to an advocacy 01' mo
ney and troops to defend the capital. He went no far
ther than this. Of course, he was for maintaining the
Union intact. • He was so now, whilst the member from
Ohio and his colaborers in the cause of forcible negro
emancipation were avowed disunionists. If, said Mr.
Wood, that gentleman spoke by my side, he spoke at
the side of one who never fled ingloriously from the
field of battle, or ignominiously from the enemy. He
stood by a man who never villifled and traduced the
sainted .Jackson and eulogized the Jeffreys who tined
Jackson for interposing between patriots and traitors.
He stood by a man who never, clothed with a little brief
military authority, performed the acts of a despot and
interfered with the rights of two sovereign States. As
to General Schenck's resignation of his commission he
(Mr. Wood) pledged himself that if he could not prove,
were an opportunity afforded, that there was
,a .verbal
understanding with the. Secretary of War that he
(Schenck) could resume his.commission at pleasure, he
(Mr. Wood) would resign his seat.
Mr. WOOD, then replied to the other charges of Mr.
Schenck, and espiciallj - to that implicating him with
the New York riots. The party in power, he said, had
raised armies under false pretences, and had committed
the greatest outrages against the Caton and constitu
tianal liberty ever -perpetrated by despotism.
Tar, KELLEY, of Pennsylvania,
after making an al
lusion to Mr. Wood, said that Robert Toombs, in tele
graphing to the .then Mayor of New York, spoke of
arms, and not merchandise. This is a record which
stands against the gentleman's assertion. The gentle
man left New York with riot and sedition boiling, that
the Rends might do their work.-
He then advocated the bill, although It was not ex
actly-what he desired. The people of the South have
not only abolished State Governments, but have esta
blished others, and we know the seat of their Confede
racy is at Richmond. As to the territory,it belongs to
the Union for all time, and if he could he would drive
the traitors to the Gulf beyond. He would do this with
soy. The Supreme Court of the United States has de
clared that -these revolted States had the same rights
only as alien enemies—enemies invading the land—and
that they. are not only- traitors -but • public enemies.
These States are overthrown, and it is the duty of Con
gress to provide governments for them when conquest
is made, and: it is our duty to make compost by all
mental known to modern warfare, and within the limits
of the nation.

THE STEAMSHIP SCOTIA' ARRIVED.
GARIBALDI'S DEPARTURE FROM ENGLAND.
Pricw Tong., May 3.—The steamer' Scotia has ar
rived. 'frith Liverpool dates to the* 24th ult., via
Queenstown.
The steamers City of Blanchester and North Ame
rican arrived out on the 23d.
Garibaldi finally quitted London on the 22d, pro
ceeding to the residence of the Dowager Duchess of
Sunderland, near Maidenhead, where he would re
main in retiromen for a few days, embarking for
CaPrera on the 25th.
The Prince of Wales went to London, and - paid
en hour's visit to Garibaldi.
The General breakfasted with a party of Ameri
cans at the United States Consul's on the 22d. lie
expressed himself warmly in favor of the United
States in the struggle with the slave power, and
would go there at once and tender his services, if
they wore needed ; but he was glad to learn that
they were not. He remarked that England and
America, united in sentiment, could keep the peace
of the world.
Mr. Gladstone, in Parliament and Lord Shaftes
bury, in a letter to the Times, aMrm that the advice
td Garibaldi to leave England was simply on he
count of his health, and not on any political ground.
The Daily News asserts that the visit had political
Motives, France proving a faithless friend to Italy.
Garibaldi Issued a farewell address to the people
of England, and offers his heartfelt gratitude. lie
says his principal object was to thank England for
her sympathy, and this is accomplished. He regrets
the necessity for his departure, and hopes to return
again at no distant time.
The Chamber of Representatives at Washington
is not the'Annerlean Government. The Preeident is
much more independent of Parliament than the
Queen of England. The resolution we are an
nouncing is not so much an act as an indication.
We may, besides, be certain that the United States
will leave Mexico tranquil while the civil war is un
finished. As to the eventualities which may arise
after the re-establishment of the Union, the Empe
ror Maximilian would have been very imprudent
bad he not already thought of them ; and, as he has
accepted the crown, we must conclude that he con
siders himself prepared to bravo the hostility of the
United States.
The Paris Temps thinks little Of the resolinitin Of
the Washington House of Representatives, relative
to Mexico, at least during the continuance of the
civil war.
The Danish ntiws is confined to additional details
of the fall of Duppel. Nothing new has transpired,
and no movement of importance since the King of
Prussia visited the troops engaged at Duppel.
Lownolf, April 24.—A telegram from Gibraltar
on the 231 says an Austrian squadron of five ships
had fust sailed for the German ocean.
FAREWELL ADDRESS OF GARIBALDI.
"I offer my heartfelt gratitude and thanks to the
English nation and their Government, for the re
ception I have met with in this free land. I came
here with the primitive object of - thinking them for
their sympathy for me and for mycountry, and this,
my first object, is accomplished. I have desired to
be altogether at the disposition of my English
friends, and I go to every place where I might be
wished to go, but I find that, I cannot now fulfil all
these engagements of my heart.
" If I have caused some trouble and disappoint
ment to many friends I ask their pardon, but I can
net draw the line between where I could and where
I could not go, and, therefore, for the present, these
are my thanks and my farewell. Still I hope, per
haps at no distant time, to return to see my friends
in the domestic. life of England and to redeem some
of the engagements with the generous people of this
country, which with deep regret I feel that I cannot
now fulfil. G. gARIBA.I.DI."
AMERICA AND 711 - IE NEW EMPIRE OF
- mxxICO.
The Paris Temps of the 21st says ! A singular
error committed by the Moniteur this morning shows
that the official journal can lay no more claims to
infallibility than the common run of newspapers.
The Moniteur declares that the mails from New
York bring no news which merits attention.
But we road in the American despatches of the
Times. that the Chamber of Representatives at
Washington unanimously voted on the 4th of April,
a resolution proposed by Mr. Winter Davis, to the
ellect that the United States can nevor recognize or
tolerate a monarchy in Mexico.
The Independence Beige gives the same news, with
a variation, according to which " the Congress has
simply protested against a monarchy established
with the assistance of an European Power." Which
ever may be right, we can only believe In an hied.
vertence of the Moniteur. It cannot wish to suP
tpress news, which is by no means unexpected, and
he importance of which must not moreover be ex
aggerated.
