THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 1.864.
' C. A. Sala on American Matters.
The Pickwick Papers are_ more readable
and amusing than Whateley's Logic—es
pecially after the introduction,- in the
eleventh- chapter, of Sam Weller, in his
original capacity of " Boots" at the old inn
in- the Borough, where Mr. Alfred Jingle
relinquishes the spinster aunt, in conside
ration of a sum of money down. The"
"White Hart" inn, in the story, really is
" The Tabard," in the borough of South
wark, (on the Surrey side of, London;)
whence Chaucer has made ' his Pil
grims start en f ,
oute for :Canterbury an
ancient hostelrie, which was not pulled
down twenty years ago; though we re-
member hearing that it has latterly fallen
before the fatal pickaxe called , Modern Im
provement. As we have mentioned. Sam
Weller; we may add that his introduction,
rather late in the story, is said to lave been
a second, thought, and that while,_" - Piak
wick" was yet unfinished the Countess of
Jersey, then a famous leaderpf-lasVon In
London,gare a grand bill" iii the raiitile
Of "the season," in honor of blekens,
and on each card - of 'lnvitation was en
graved: " You are not expected to attend
unless you will admit - that Sam Weller is a
gentleman."
As we were saying, before; we rambled
off the subject, one of Dickens' novels - is
pleasanter reading than Archbishop-Whate
ley's Logic, which may lie very true, but
also is very dry. So, *Ts. Trollope's
book on America, is more amusing than her
son's, and, on the same principle of extra
vagant fiction keeping the attention more
" wide awake " than plain fact, Mr. Sala's.
American letters in the London Daily
Yele,giaph make, us smile' twenty ,:times
oftener than did those of- Dr. Russell in
The Times. In fact, Dr. Russell;lhough
an Irishman, has little sense of theludi
crous, whereas Mr. Sala's letters are full of
fun—much of it unconsciously so, because
his readers have to laugh at much oftener
than with, him. , - •
There are wags whose delight is in the
treble art of cramming.. They get hold of
a greenhorn and stuff him with extraordi
nary bits if information, confidentially
communicated, ;which he swallows, in a
voracious manner, and retails, whenhe has
the opportunity, with additions and vans,.
tions of his own. Mr..Bala, ever since his
arrival in this.country, has been subject to
the influence of such persons: - They ima
gine facts and invent anecdOtes fel. him;
and he rehashes them up for his readers
in England. For example, writing from
New York, and seeing things tlunugh
iheir smoke-tinted spectacles, he is found
Seriously speculating; and at"` some
length, on the future of the lJnited.States,
and prophecying thus " The tinie must
come, however far distant it may seem 'to
in, when war will be felt in this glittering
and frivolous city. There must come a day
when the guest shall open the furbeloWed
napkin at Delmonico's, and find,, not • a• loaf
of bread, but a piece of a skull inside 'of it.
There must come a day when the flask of
Burgundy shall be uncorked, and a musty - ',
stir - ff that shall have the salt taste and amid
smell of Wed be - poured out. •There must
come a day when the embers shall.be.cold
on the hearth, and Of. - he dainty house
in Fifth 'avenue •. I - ng
:One shallle 'taken and, the
other ,left, when the wheel shall be
broken at the cistern; when -the' cry of
the widosi and the fatherless shall be at
last heard,. and the people of theme States
shall at last awaken - to a sense of the co
lossal wickedness of war, and cast it away
front' them as a shame and a curse. It will
be fortunate in those days for those who
have made.the War, and fattened on it, and
grown sleek and shiny on it, like the ob
scene buzzards of . Vera Cruz;, or the car
rion crows of. the Rappahannock, if they
escape being strung•up to the lamp posts.
There was a Pensionary once whose name
was De Witt. There was a Minister once
whose name was Sejanus. There was an
unjust judge once called jefferies." This
certainly drives Lord Macaulay's famous
New Zealander into a, very small and in
convenient corner.
His personal anecdotes, however, still
more fully display his crednfity. He oils
us " When Mr. Lincoln was informed that
the Rev. Cheever, at the Meeting at Fre
mont Hall, had called him.a cancer,' and
that some other Reemerges had spoken of
him as Herod, he . s said to have remark
ed `Herod l why didn't he call me 'a
hernia:? The rupture between old friends
would then. have been complete:';" In a
letter on the Fourth of July, he says " I
have heard of an, old gentleman at Wash
ington who spends the entire Fourth -of
July on his doorstep. . He sits on a rocking
chair, between two braes cannons, which
he- continually discharges in honor of the
day, his negro boy bringing him arenstud-
Bon - and helping him to lead. -Between
every -three or four round's or se lie refreshes
himself with a cock-tail ; and this Merry
pastime goes on Instil the cannon become
red hot, or the old gentleman gets !tight,'
when -he is carried to bed and the guns
are dragged to • the stable." - This is
" capped," however, by an anecdote of
Western life, which, no doubt, when read
by John Bull in - his cockney villa, ere
he puts himself - into the matutinal omni
bus for transportation and - delivery
".The City," . will excite his gratitude
that his manners ,do not resemble those of
-" them savages `abroad,"` as he doubtless
considers us: Mr: - Sala says,
." A, Western ;
gentleman told. me not long since.* story - /
amusingly illustrative
r of the -
dcluble-beddednesi. A. very, dirty , :e4
greasy, foreigner, with a beard that Jain
the• Apostate •might -have, envied, so lon,g
arid lively-looking was it,, arrived al an
hotel at; Detroit, entered :his name on the
hooka as Ivan Somethingoff, hailing from
,Petersburg, and demanded sleeping ire
commodation.. The hotel was full, and
the Xtiscovite looked so Very uncleanly and
wore a skeepskiteliase of so very - loud an
odor, that
. the nests unanimously and
dignexitly refusedto have him.billeted upon
them. The hotel clerk, not wishing to
lose a customer, was in despair, when= a
tall; bony Weitern man stepped forward,;
dished his Bat on the. counter, and ex,
claimed : " H.--- I it's risky, I s 'know; but.
P 11 try him. I never, room' with, it
Dooshian before, and Pci like to ham t4esn
atript.' remukable instance this of .the
pursuit of know edge under difficulties, and
the American characteristic of "wantieg.to
know." • . . •
The delicacy and the probability of this
chaririing tale are equal.
Of course, Mr. Sala has only a very
distinct idea of our politics and,our politi
cal institutions. Land an. A.mericim , ip
London, and, in three months, he wilt urr
d - erstand the minutice .of the English syi
tem not only as well as, but infinitely more
correctly than, nineteen out of twenty
aveTNe .r.mglisinnen. Place a BritiSh

and they will regret that the law's of the
State no longer warrant them in scourging
you or setting you in the stocks. Counsel.
peace to the Evening Poet, and its conduc
tors will fling a shovel of mud at you."
Perhaps this is only meant to be
. whatis
called smart writing ? If so, Mrs - Sala's
wit is of the deadly lively genus. •
Now and then, it is true, he has a glinipse,
of the fact. Having been present, he says,
at a- grand " Pow-Wow " at Tammany
Hall, on the Fourth of July, Mr Sala says :
" To give you some faint ideit - of *hit the
society of St. Tammany is,~ or rather was,
endeavor to combine a notion of the' Reform
Club, the 'Union Debating ,§ociety at Cam
bridge, Lodge number anything of the
Manchester Union of Odd Fellows, and
the Society of . Cogers, Tararnany*
Hall used: to be a place not only for speechi
fying, for spread-eagleism, and for baiting
the British Lion :.not only the—Hall of
Debate for a numerous and powerful
political party, but also a place where
the most elabOrate organizations were
developed,, and the meshes of the most
complicated intrigues Perfected. At Tam
many. Rail, Presidents, Ministers, Con
gressmen, foreign ambassadors, consuls,
tax collectors,- and -postmasters have' been
made - and unmade. Tammany his in, its
time been a tyrant ; Tammany has in its,
time revelled in, the unclean drippings of
patronage ; and in Tainmany Halt there
probably has been fostered and carried out
as monstrous a system of venality and cor
ruption as ever was known in this wicked
werld--venality at which Robert 'Walpole
would haye rubbed his hands ; corruption
that.would have rejoiced the souls of Sid
mouth and Castlereagh, and the rest of the
borouglx-mongers."
Again, in describing the Peace Confe
rence at Niagara, Mr. Sala having named
the Secessionists (Clay, Holcombe, and
Thompson), adds i " Corypineus of this
curious trio is Mr. George N. Sanders, of
nowhere in particular, but some time United
States consul in England, and who has peen
for years notorious as a professional •poli
tician, convention organizer, and lobbyer
and log-roller generally—in fine:, what is
known on this side of the Atlantic as an
adventurer. But.there is a fifth wheel to
the coach. Pardon the confusion of meta
phors. About the skirts of the party hovers
a kind . of Ariel, :or-" delicate sprite," or.
Puck, or hobgoblin, in the person of Mr.
W. Cornell ,Tewett, better known'as Colo
rado Jewett, a person witheurthe slightest
claim,, either through pOsition; character,
or, ability, to represent
own 'personal vanity and self-importance.
By dint of these qualities, and a native and
unblushing impudence, Mr. Jewett has
contrived, during the past eighteen months,
to get his name frequently into print, both
here and in the .01d World. • He has
been wandering over Europe, - wriggling
himself into audiences with foreign cove- -
reigns, some of whom were credulous, and
mistook him for an important:personage,
others of whom were astute, and estimated
him at his proper value." Against these
two theßohemian appears to have a spe
cial spite;
for he subsequently says, "Mr.
George N. Sanders is thenlerest of politi
cal aiseurs and Mr. 'COloras
fareitlPeofielriturope Adhecomethe
laughing stock of the whole of America."
The Fourth. of July, which Mr. Sala
passed in New York, did not please him.
That celebration, he tells us, " has come to
mean this : simply crackers.. You may
throw ; in as .many
. skyrockets, Catherine
wheels, torpedoes, squibs, and Roman can
dles as you like; but the Fourth is best ge
nerically typified by 'the cracker." His
account of the day, which he calls "the
Fourth of July in a nut-shell," is not too
long for extract here, so we append it, as a
fair specimen liis newspaper style. Here
ie what he says of our national holidays
' , But why should quiet 'people fear the Fourth of
Julyl Why should its. proslmate arrival till the
minds of the most patriotic, ii they are fond of peace
as well as patriotism; with a,shivering kind of terror,
mingled with, pramordial "-anxiety 1 Why, on the
eVening of. the eecend,. which fell on Saturday, was
there a. general .stampede of well,to,do merchants
and storekeepers out of town 1 Why hooked the
families on board the ferryboats ?—whys warmed
they on the steamers, was to nearly swamp thensil
What induced them to brave the heat: the dust,
and the gangers of-outgoing• railway trains& Why
on Fifth avenue were Bo many princely mansions
barred and bolted up, With 'so unmistakably an
outof-town look 1 Why was the Central Park
almost deserted on the eve of the great day 1
How came it about that: on Sunday, the third,
you found the waiters, at the Brevoort .with :
nothing to 'AO, and could 'procure a table at' Del
monico's without having to wait thirty five minutes
for it 1- Why, at- 6.50 A. M. , on the very Fourth
itself; did I, fanning myself at the window ' after a
heat•oppresscd and sleepless' night, see an old gen
tleman, fresh-shaven, straw-hatted, linen-coated,
his travelling bag and umbrella in hand, cautiously
emerge from his front door, rapidly descend his
'Welt WON and scuttle away aa qulck.l43 his legs

CHABLICBTOI, S. Cl., August ----, 1884.
To 'resident .of the United States :
The, condition of ibe enlisted men belonging to
the Union,arnsies,how prisoners to the Confederate
rebigi,fprces, is such , that lt becomes our duty, und
the ty of every, commissioned officer, to make
known' the, facts in the case to the Government of
the United States, and to use every honorableeffort
to secure a general 'exchange of-prison thereby
relieving.thousands of our comrades fro ' ' ' the !ter
rors now Buireunding them.
, yor so'Me time, past, there has been coneentra- '
tion cif priionerti from all parts ofthe re I territory

hting,centined at Macon, and their mills d:. men- at
Andersonville. Recent movements , of the Union
,armies under Gen. Sherinanhave'semp ed the re
moval of prisonera to other points,rand . 1. is now un
derstood that they will, be removed to Savannah;
Georgia, and Colembnis end Charleston S. O. But

arid one-eighth of a• pound of.aneat
;is the entire ration, and upon it. the prisoner moat
?live or die. The meal Is often unsitted.and sour,
and the meat suoh - as in the North is consigned to
the siiainneker. Such are tlie rations upon which
UniorreoldiersAre fed by the rebel authorities, and
„by which they are barely holding on to life. But to
• Starvation and elpOsure, to sun and Storm, add the
•eickiiiaa - which prevails to a most alarming
.and terrible extent. On an average, ode
hundred die daily. It is impossible that any
Ur ion soldier should know all the facts per
taining to this-terrible mortality, as they are not
paraded- by the rebel authorities. Stich state
men; as the following, made by speaks
eloquent testimony. Said .he " Of, twelve of us
who were captured six died, four are in the hospital,
abd I never expect to see them again. There are
but two of us left." In 1862, at hionteromery,'Ala.,
'under far more favorable circumstances, the pri
soners being proteetedby sheds, from one hundred
and fifty to two hundred were rook from diarrhoea.
and chills, out of seven hundred. The same per
cents go - would give .sevewthousand dick at Ander-
WIIVIIIO. It needs no comment, no efforts at word
painting', to make such a ploture stand out boldly
in most horrible colors. . •
Nor la, this all. Among the ill-fated of the many
who have suffered amputation in consequence of in
juries received before, capture, sent frbm rebel hoe.
'vitals , before their wounds - -were healed, there 'are
eloquent witnesses of the barbarities of which they
are victims." If to these facts is added this, that
nothing more demoralizes soldiers, antrdevelops the
evil passions of man than starvation, - the terrible
condition of' Union prisoners itt •Andersonville can
be readily imagined- They are fast losing hope,
and becoming utterly reckleSs of life. Numbers,
crazed by their sufferings, wander about In a state
of idiocy ; others deliberately cross the' deadline,"
and are remorselessly shot clown. -
In behalf of these men we most earnestly appeal
to the President of the United States. Few of them
have been captered'except in the front of battle, in
the deadly encounter, and only when overpowered
by numbers. They constitute as gallant a portion
of our armies as carry our banners anywhere. If re
leased, they would soon return to again do vigorous
battle for our cause. We ate told that the only ots
staole in the way of exchange Is the statue of en
bared negroes captured from our armies, the United
States claiming that the Cartel covers ail who Serve
under Its flag, and the Confederate' tates refusing
to - consider the colored soldiers, heretofore slaves, as
prisoners of War. • .' • •
We beg leave to suggest some facto bearing upon
the question of exchange '
- Which we would urge
upon this consideration .' ls it not consistent with
the national honor, without waiving the claim that
the negro soldiers . shall-be . treated as prisoners of
war, to effect. an exchange' of the soldiers 1
Thetwo classes are. treated differently by the ene-'
my. The whites are confined In each prisons as
Libby and. Andereonville, .'starved • and treated
• with sr. barbarism unknown to civilized - nations.
The blacks, on the cent/flay, are Seldom • im
prisoned. : They- are distributed. among stare 'citi
zens, • or .extipmyed on geyernment works. Un
der these circumstances - they ; receive enough
to but 'and are • worked no' harder than ' they
have been accustomed to be. They are' neither
starved nor killed off-by - the pestilence in the dun
geons of Richmond and Charleston. It is true they
are again made alares but their slavery is freedom'
and happiness compared'with the cruel existence
imposed.upen our gallant men, They Are not bereft
ol;hope,nsAre_ the white soldiers, dying: by piece - .
nThelr chances of escape are tenfold greater
than tliote'of the white Folders, and their condition,
in all its lights; le tolerable In .comparison with that

7A , 93410,: therefore, befreving the claims of our
geverinnene, In matters of exchange, to be jest, we
are profoundly impressed With the oonvietitin -
that
the circumstances of ahetwo classes of soldiers are
ae,widely.different thatthe government can honora

By prompt and,deoldea action in their behalf thirty

more r fortitude If-he enlisted men, whose, sufferings
we know tobe intolerable, were restored to liberty
and life.

IMPORTANT DROLARATION OP NAPOLHON.—The
London correspondent of the New York Herald,
writing under,da,te of August 10; says : have just
received some very. important information from an
entirely .reliable source. The Emperor of the
French has , just informed Mr. Slidell that he never
will recognize tire rebeiStates, (even should they
achieve their independence. de fircie),, unless they
determine to abolish slavery and engage that all
the children born of slave parents shall Se free, and
that • slavery shad; be totally abolished and cease
within ten years from the date of recognition
- You may be assured that the above statement is
true In every particular. "I am Loki that Mr. Slidell
went away from the interview with the Eitperor
ldoking more dejected than-he has through all the
reverses of the rebels, and all the rebuffs thathe has
received since coming on his ill-starred =lesion.
The fact is, Louis Napoleon = a onus of the world,
as well as an adroit politidan. Be knows that one
strong friend Is worth more than a dosenweak ones.
Re has sent for ten thousand (one half) of the French
troops now In Merico,and nextspring thereat comes
away, and be knows that thefriendship of tlie'Uni
ted States Is a realityvand that any attempt at ran
alliance sdith red-handed 'pirates; and slaveholders -
wilt pull him , dorigrather than give him additional.
.4 , FAMENTRIO WlLL.—Thero lately died at
Ssepes Valiarya an old man of TB years of age,
whose'Nlll contained a clause. leaving 10,000. cigars
for those who might attend his tuners-1, This eccen
tric testator also expressed a desire thit his friends
should, not-leave the house of mourning without
drinking 'to kis memory all the wine left in his
cellar. It is said that the wish of the deceased was
entirely fulfilled.

HO notice, and, amid the excitement of the hour, no
inquiry 18 made as to their merits or demerits.
Several new names appear in ourlist of. sales to..
day that were entirely unknown a day or two ago.
Government loans are held firmly, and the 6-20 bonds
advanced yesterday g. The 'Bl was In demand
at 10934. State and city loans were' weak, with
downward tendency in prices. Coupon bonds were
not much inquired for. Schuylkill Navigation Cs of
