The Plates which were madly re,solved
to rush out of. the Union, have had a moat
lementable. experience. The leaders, who
premised them "freedom from Northern
vsgression," became the worst of tyrants.
Deate dregged their warlike. population to
fatal battle fields by a wholesale eenscrip.
tion, and his agents robbed and plundered
the people. of every available s i emies of
weal+, seizing their produce, burning
their cotton, and making bonfires of their
towns. The Confederacy secured them
nothieg but It:A . BE3:y. It suhs!ittited real for
fancied grievances. It imposed heavier
burdens in four years . than the Union
would have exacted. in. e a century. Aftee
etizieg and destroying nearly all their
wealth, except land and slaves, it me.de
it the imperative duty of the na
tion, as a measure' of justice and
self-preservation, to 'strike the shackles
from the southern bondsmen, and to " pro
claim liberty throughout the land, unto all
its inhabitahts." dome of the drilieulties
of the eliriation are yet to be surmounted.
The anomalous - position of having no voice
in the Government lay
_which they are con
trolled, is proving extremely disagreeable
and vexatious. The seceders are becoming
quite anxious to " get back into the
Tinton." Their Confederacy has vanished
like a hideous dream. They behold the
nation they once controlled more powerful
than ever ; and they are learning, by dear
ly-hought experience, 0d considera share
of its glories and its pneteetion a substan
tial boon. This feeli4 — is obtaining ex
preseion even at Chaileston, where the
war began. Its citizens have found
that the movement to " fire the Southern
heart " has ended by firing the Southern
homes and plantations, and wiser counsels
now prevail. Alate number of the. Charles
ton C'eurier congratulates the citizens upon
the promising prospects of a revival of
trade and business ; but it accompanies
there assurances with the sound advine
that, "in order to place Charleston where
she belongs, it will not Lie for her citizens
to make weak, spasmodic attempts in
either a business or political direction, but
evtry man must step out, and Rhoto to the

LETTER FROM “OCCASIONAL:P
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 14, 18G5
The reformed and amended constitution
of the State of Missouri has been adopted
by a popular majority of some five thou
sand votes. The significance of this deci
sion is in the fact that the constitution was
opposed by a number of persons who ear:.
Lestty differed on great principles: Thus
the secessionists in the State voted against
it, because the provisions, prohibiting ail
from voting who had directly or indirect
ly aided the rebellion, were too severe.
hen, a large portion of the radical Ger
mans were bitterly arrayed against it,
because it did not confer the right
of suffran upon the colored man.
It is not often that interests so di-
Vent are found -together at the polls.
Bat this fact may be noted as a Stranga
indication of the times. It serves, also,
to sbow,r k where extremes are driven to.
gather by the mere sympathy of antago
nism, how difficult it is for those who have
the governm ants to ad minister, to discharge
their great duties. You will have noticed,
too, that the Legislature of Tennessee,
while sternly disfranchising the great body
of the secessionists, and their abettors, do
not give to the colored men of any section
the right to vote. Let me give you an ex
tract from the Constitution of Missouri,
just adopted, and a portion of the Tennes
see statute, which passed the legislature of
that State on the sth of June, to show
where these two important States stand, on
the important subject of allowing rebels to
vote.
By the following abstract of what is
called the disfranchisieg section of the
new Constitution, which has just been
voted on in Missouri, the reader will per
ceive the voter must swear that he has

to those who voted on the question of
adopting or rejecting the instrument :

the mantles of the State to which the soldiers be
longed.
13y the new constitution of Louisiana, the
subject of negro .suffrage is referred to the
legislature of that State, but remains un
dispoLed of by that latter body. In the
Louisiana constitution, the restrictions
against the secessiordsts are most com
plete and stringent. Shall Tennessee,
which is to-day formally accepted as a
sovereign State of the Union by the pro
clamation of the President, declaring that
insurrection, so far as relates to her, is
suppressed, and that she is reorganized
under the recently-adopted constitution—
be denied representation in the next Con
gress, simply because the legislature of
that State does not authorize colored men
to vote ? You need not be told that An
drew Johnson sat in the Senate in
1861, even under the old constitution
of Tennessee, after his colleague,Nich
olson, had left. It would be some
thing of an anomaly to refuse Messrs.
Fowler and Patterson, the new Senators,
admission under a better conatitutiOn than
that under which Johnson held, with a
much more liberal code for the protection
"twet c.w•aasse-sztes e eiesonseises : •-zateassesseset
of the colored population l If this rule is
to be adopted as to Tennessee, what is to
prevent Congress from objecting to the
Senators and Bepresentatives from Mis
souri, because that State, in the clause of
the constitution above quoted, has also de
cided against allowing colored men to vote?
Another point must be considered. By re
fusing to admit such States as Louisiana
and Tsp r nessee, because they may come
here with constitutions not agreeable to
those who demand universal suffrage, we
thereby decrease the chances for the ratifi
cation of the amendment of the constim
tion abolishing slavery in- the United
States. Tennessee has already performed
her ::hare of this work, and Louisiana is
prepared to follow suit. But two more
States are necessary to complete the re
quired three-fourths. Oregon and Cali
fornia have not yet voted, owing
to the fact that their legislatures do
not meet annually, and are sure to
give it their sanction. You will per
ceive, however, that until this work is ac
complished, slavery will not be constitu
tionally out of the way. Tne hesitation of
Kentucky, New Jersey, and Delaware,
indicate that there is a lingering hope
among certain classes that Emancipation
may be defeated after all, so as to give the
traitors a chance to come back into power,
and to enact such laws as will restore
slavery in one State after another. The
necessity, thereire, of admitting every
State with such an organization as we
have confidante in, is paramount, viewed
alone from this aspect, without consider
ing the. reasons that have decided the
President to adopt his policy. As we con
tinue this inquiry, we shall find, as I be
fore stated, that in Massachusetts no citi
zen, white or black, can vote, unless
he can read and write. New York
only allows colored men to vote
on -a property qualification ; in New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Indiana, or Illi
nois, they do not vote at all. In Ohio,
only the colored man who has the largest
admixture of white blood enjoys the right
to vote. In Connecticut there is no colored
suffrage, although the Legislature has pro
vided that there sl•all be, hereafter. Let
us recollect that the censtitutloua of the
original thirteen States admitted to be
"republican in form," yet nearly all with
held !he right of suffrage from the near°.
We might as well say that the Senators
and Representatives of a State should not
be admitted to seats in Congress becauso
their State constitution denied the elective
franchise to women, or to boys of eighteen
years of age. The whole question is left
by the Constitution to the States; and
it has been steadily disposed of, by them,
from the beginning. Congress has never
interfered with it. In some States the
fineigner votes after having resided six
months in the country; in others the con
dition is a residence of five years. Now,
when the free States of the North refuse to
confer free suffrage upon our- colored fel
low. men, shall we insist that the restored
governments of the South shall be de
nied representation in the national legit?,
tature, because they are not yet ready
to give this precious franchise to mil.-
.lions of untrained and unedue,ated men ?
I know what the answer is; the Se
cessionists will outvote the loyal men,
unless some such remedy is adopted ; but
there is ample protection against mica
an accident. Should the constitutions of
any of the incoming Southern States con
tain cruel, or partial, or unjust legislation
as to the colored raze, we have the exam
ple of Congress, when it refused to admit
Kansas with her constitution, California
with her constitution, and Missouri, during
the struggle of 1819-20. We can send
her senators and representatives hack, and
make them wait until their people see that
their constitutions are really "republican
in form," and that no portion of the freed
men of the South shall be subjected to
harsh or inhuman treatment. But we
never can stand upon the issue of ex
cluding States with constitutions and laws
otherwise unobjectionable, because such
constitutions and laws contain an express
provision giving the colored masses their
votes. These things should be borne in
mind by the friends of the Union. If
divided upon such an issue, under
such a chief as Andrew Johnson,
with both branches of Congress in
our faior, and with the great majority
of the.people at our backs, we shall exhibit
a most contemptible spectacle. Our po
litical adversaries are doing their uttermost
to disseminate the idea that there are inex
orable dissensions among the friends of
Andrew Johnson on this subject. They
are fearfully mistaken. He stands not
alone where he himself has always
stood, but he stands upon the princi
pleit of the great Union party. every
member of his Cabinet agrees with
and sustains his policy. That it may
not be exactly satisfactory to many
good men is reasonable ; what plan would
please all? Who, in such a ctisis as this,
in the front of such a future, can expect to
.enunciate and carry out a policy that will
satisfy and gratify everybody ? To do the
best we can, according to the Constitution
—to restore the Union—to make effective
the abolition of slavery—to punish the
traitors—to lift from all races and classes
the burdens under which they have
suffered. When these things are done, will
we not have accomplished much, if not
everything, in a wondrously short period of
time ? OCCASIONAL/.

ner, was arrested this morning by United States
liken, and is now in custody. As yet the clause of
his arrest has not been officially made known, bat it
is distinctly understood that he has been arrested
upon a charge of treason.
The arrest took place at one o'clock, in the office
of the Daily News. When the officers entered the
building, they at once proceeded to the room whore
Mitchel ass sitting. - They announced themselves,
and informed him that they had orders to take him
Into custody. Mitchel exhibited considerable aglta•
Lion on being told that he was under arrest, and
turning to a person who was standing close to him,
and was believed by the officers who had taken
him Into custody to be Mr. Benjamin Wood, ad
dressed a few explanatory words to him.
After this, he took his hat, and, accompanied by
the two Moore, one on each side of hier, walked
into the street.
It is understood that the arrest had been expected
for several days, and It is reported that arrange
:rants have already been made to procure MUM()Pe
release.
DeteotiveS Kelae and Eider made the arrest,
under orders front Glidieral Dnr, who acted in pur-
SnanCe of direct, instructions from Washington.
The prisoner was immediately placed on board a
Goverment vessel, and by Olt Ume is probably on
his way for Fortress Monroe, under charge of Lieut.
Morrie, of the 20th New York Battery.
Soon atter the arrest of Mitchel, Judge McCann
visited Gen. Dirs headquarters, bat could learn

said that the Government could not try the prisoner

The judge also declared that the Government

As they fell back the enemy were rapidly fol
lowed by General elerritt's two divisions, General
Davin on the right and General Custer on the loft ;
General Crook in the rear. Daring the remainder
of the day General Crook's division held the ex.
tram. lett and rear, and was not seriously engaged.
General Sheridan then determined to drive the
entree , to the Five Forks, press them inside of -their
works, at d make a taint to turn their right flank, `
and meanwhile quietly move up the sth Corps with
a view t o atto eking their left, flank, crush the whole
lone, if penile°, and alive westward those Who
might escape, time isolating them from their army
at Petersburg. Happily, this conception was sue
carefully executed.
General Sheridan then says: I then directed
General Merritt to demonstrate as though to was
attempting to turn the enemy's right flank, end
notified him that the sth Corps would strike the
tramp el left flank, and ordered that the cavalry
tould assault the enemy's works as Soon as the Bth
Corps became engaged, and that would be deter.
mined by the volleys of musketry. I then rode
over to where the bib Corps was going into position,
and found them coming up very slowly. I was ex
°coding)), anxious to attack at once, for the sun was
getting low. and we had. tO fight or go Moog. It was
no place to intrenoh, and it would Lave been shame.
MI to have gone bank with no results to compensete
for the loss of the brave men who had fallen
during tbe day. In this eceneotion, I will say that
Ger.eral Warren did not exert himself to get up his
corps as rapidly as he might have done, and his
manner gave me the impression that he wished the.
sun to go down before dispositions for the attack
could be completed. As soon as the corps was in
position, I ordered en advance in the following for
mation : Ayres' division on the left in double limo,
Crawford's divition on the right in double lines, and
Griffin's division iffireserve, behind Crawford ; and
the White Oak road was reached without opposi
tion. * * : * *
The firing of the sth Corps was the signal to Gen.
Merritt to asiakit, which was promptly responded
to, and the works of the slime Warn 50051 carried at
several points by our brave cavalrymen. The ene

completely routed, the sth Corps doubling up their

Merritt dashing on to the White Oak road, captor.
is g their artillery and turning It upon them, and
riding into their broken ranks,so demoralized them
that they made no eeriotuf stand after their line was
carried, but took to flight In disorder. Between five
and six 'thousand prisoners fell into our hands, and
the fugitives were driven westward, end were par•
sued until long after dark by Merritt's and McKen
zie's cavalry, for a distance of six mites.
During tide altaek I again became dissatisfied
with Gee, mearren. During the engagement per--
done of Misfit e gave Way when not exposed to a

part of the - troops, Which Gen. Warren did not ex

GM El ILLE:CK' AND MERMAN.
Reply; Of the Former to the Lotter.
Gen. • Haneck has written a letter to the Score_
tarp of War relative to statements made by Gerh
Sherman in :a earamunleation to Gin. Grant,
characteriring them !as incorrect and entirely me
just:habits by the:facts in the ease. With respect to
the charge: of encroaching upon Gen. Shermanas
mint, aasaaaaan, by directing 9. portion of his
(Flelleck!s) troops to march upon Wreentemm,
North Carolina, Gen. Hal/eok says
‘, ely instructions to Generals Meade, Sheridan,
and 'Wright, ware just such instructfans as General
Grant WI directed me to live. Tee offence, or
ukelele: he may please to call it, if any there was,
of marching my troops .within territory Claimed by
General Sherman, was not mine, but General
Gyatve ; end all the tame widen he has directed
upon me fur that act, must fall upon the General.
elt
Inei.
, Gc ef neral Sherman charges that, by matching
my troops . into North Carolina. I violated his truce,
which he was bound to enforce, even at the coat of
many lives by a collision of our respective armies,
General Sherman had never sent me 1114 Man ;
I badmover seen it, and did not know its terms or
conditions. I only knew that his trace or 'ar
rangement,' whatever it was, had been disapproved
and Set aeido by the President ; and General Grant,
In ordering the movement of my troops, simply
notified me of this fact, and of the renewal of hell.
tittles. Even It Sherinan'a truce had been bled
lug on me, which it was not, I had no knowledge of
the Clause relating to forty-eight hears' not! as: ,
Reerring to Sherman's comp/ado; that he (Hal.
leek) pushed forward eguArst Johnston's army when
it was surrendering, he says: "He must nave
known that I eid not have, and Could not possibly
have had, at that time, any offielal information of
any new arrangements between him and Johnston
for the surrender of the Tatter's army. Neither
General Sherman nor any one else could have sent
me suck cinch/I Information otherwise than by sea.
1 only knew from General Giant that Stermanet
arrangements' bad been disapproved, that orders
had been given to sesame hostilities, and that I was
directed by him to push forward my troops to
Greensboro',where they would receive furtherordera.:
All other information from North Carolina came
from rebel sourer-ILn * w * • * *
_ . .
General Balla& also States that the troops ware
sent from the direction or Burkesrille and Danville
by order of General. Grant, and that the Informs,'
pen relative to the treasure of Davis was obtained
trout gentlemen of character and NsMon, whose
statements were entitled to consideration. "Gene
ral Grant neither disapproved nor countermanded
aby toners of mine, nor was there at that time any
truce. It had ceased by General Grant's orders
to resume hostilities and the eubsequent surrender
of Johnston's army, of which he then notified me,
and Mailed a part of Gee troops widish he had di
rected me to Send to Danville and Greensboro.'
b There Is but one other point in General Shen
man's complaint that I deem it necoMary to nottcs.
I refer to Eno suggestion made to you In regard to
orders to Generate Themes and Wilson for prevent
ing the escape of Davie and his cabinet." • * *
"In suggesting that orders be sent to these °Moen
directly, and not through General Sherman, I dug.
;WWI no departure Wont welbestabilshed oflielat
channels. Bat even If I had, the responsibility of
adopting that COMBO must rest upon the authority
who sent it.
"If this complaint Is directed against tho form
of the suggestion lonia Only say that I was Mammas
.of any iittendelance. My telegram was hurriedly
written. inten d, for yourself, not the public, and
had reference teithe state of feats as reported to
me. It was reported that Orders purporting to
come from General Sherman had been received
through rebel noes for General Wilson to wi.hdralf
from hittoon, release his pssouera, and that. all
nominees -shouoollBo. These
Davis a nd
open the door ire the escape of Davie his
party. This I knew was Contrary to the
wishes and Orders of the Government, bat I
bad no means of knowing whether or not
Sherman had been le Informed. I, at the
time, had no COMmunitation with him or with
General Grant, and I was not aware that either
could communicate with our officers in the West,
except through rebel authorities, who, of course,
could not be relied on. I repeat that misuggestion
has reference only to the facts and wishes of the
Government as known to me at the time, and was
intended in no respeet to reflect upon or be disre
spectful to General Sherman. if I had been able to
communwate with General Sherman. or had known
at the time the condition of affair@ 10 NorP/ Om°s
line, there would have. bean no necessity or ache
then for any suggeStion to you, and most probably
none would ha ve man made.
it With these remarks, I respectfully submit that
Gen. Sherman'S report, so far as he refers to me, is
nejust, unkind, aria contrary to military usage, and
that his statements are contrary to the real facts of
the case, I beg leave further to remark that 1
have, In no way, shape, or manner, criticized or rat
fleeted upon Gen. Sherman's course in North Care
nun, or upon his truce. or, as Gen. Grant styles it,
arrangement , with Johnston and Breckinridge,*
but have simply tutted upon the Well, instruotlenn,
and expressod wishes of my anPoriors, as coletaii
nicateet to me, and as I undepteed them."
General Stoneman lies also addressed a lettee to
the Secretary of War, complaining of injustice
done him by General Sherman In charging that he
(Stoneman) was retpoetable for the escape of DAVIS
trom Virginia and North Carolina.
