BOVTHEBK SENTIMENT ASD PHEBTOM-
A Raleigh dispatch, Aug. 3, says that the
returned rebel soldies are relapsing from their
first attitude of submission to the Govern
ment ; “ since the wholesale display of clem
ency to the rebel leaders of wealth and influ
ence, this treacherous and arrogant clhss have
poisoned the minds of the soldiers aginst the
Union, and are now organizing them for a
political conflict with the Government, and a
war against the Union men and the negroes.
They having everything their own way in
designating the delegates to the convention,
which they expect will soon be called.”
Wade Hampton, late rebel cavalry general,
is out in a characteristic letter, which is pub
lished in a Columbia, S. C., paper, July 27.
From the extracts we give, it will be seen that
men of his stamp really do believe that, by
the reconstruction now going on, they may
be able to save some of the “ rights” they
could not obtain by fighting. He will try,
by taking the oath, as he advises his friends
also to try, and learn accurately whether the
North does regard the South as really con
quered War, after four years of heroic
but unsuccessful struggle, has failed to secure
to us the rights for which we engaged in it.
To save any of our rights—to rescue anything
more from the general ruin—will require all
the statesmanship and all the patriotism of
our citizens. If the best men of our countiy
—those who for years past have risked their
lives in her defence —refuse to take the oath,
they will be excluded from the councils of
the State, and its destiny will be committed
of necessity to those who forsook her in her
hour of need, or those who would gladly pull
her down to irretrievable ruin. To guard
against such a calamity, let all true patriots
devote themselves, with zeal and honesty of
purpose, to the restoration of law, the bless
ings of peace, and to the rescue of whatever
of liberty may be saved from the general
wreck. If, after an honest effort to effect
these objects, we fail, we can then seek a
home in another country. . . . Choose
for this convention your‘best and truest men;
not those who have skulked in the hour of
danger—nor those who have worshipped
mammon while their country was bloeding at
every pore —nor the politician, who, after
urging war, dared not encounter its hardships
—but those who laid their all upon the altar
of their country. Select such men, and
make them, serve as your representatives.
You will then be sure that your rights will
not be wantonly sacrificed.”
On the 26th of JulyjGrov. Hamilton, Pro
visional Governor of Texas, issued his pro
clamation to the people of that State, stating
his mission, and calling them to allegiance.
His expressions were clear enough to reach
the dullest of comprehension. In reference
to slavery he said: —“And candor compels
me to say to the people of Texas that if in
the action bf the proposed convention, the
negro is characterized or treated as less than
a freeman, our. Senators and Representatives
will seek in vain admission to the halls of
Congress.’ ’ In an address delivered J uly 20,
he said: —“Then if, according to the doc
trine of secession, Texas could disregard the
contract and withdraw from the Union, the
United States could have done the same
thing and driven Texas out of the Union at
any time since annexation.”
The New Orleans True Delta contains a
flowing account of “ New Orleans As It Is.”
t declars that the population of the Crescent
City was never before so large at this season.
That the thoroughfares are thronged as in
the “flush times” of old, in the height of
the gay Winter, business and amusement
months; that the whole city is instinct with
life, that the summer trade had been unpre-'
cedented in extent and amount; that there
are continually occurring announcements of
the resumption of business of old-established
houses, and the opening of new ones; that
the animation prevails not only in the streets
of wholesale and retail stores, but among the
cotton presses and warehouses, and on the
levee and the canals; that accounts from all
quarters in the interior speak of the renewed
activity of the people and the zest with
which they are again resorting to their peace
ful and wealth-producing vocations; and
that, though the day of her former immense
foreign commerce has departed, the time is
not far distant when the commercial glory of
New Orleans will reappear with increased
and enduring splendor. The receipts of cot
ton at New Orleans, for the week ending
August 8, amounted to 19,465 bales; stock
oil hand, 66,534 bales.
THE REBEL PRISON PENS.
Salisbury Prison -was bad as Anderson
ville, only that it was not so populous. The
same bare and exposed enclosure, the same
dead line, the same absence of accommoda
tions and scantiness and bad quality of food.
The result, says a Louisville correspondent
of the New York 'limes, August 3, was a
frightful mortality, and under circumstances
the bare thought of which thrills the soul
with horror. Ten,..twenty, thirty, sometimes
forty emaciated corpses a day were dragged
forth from this hedious Aceldama, and flung
into rude trenches a few rods from the
enclosure. Of these trenches there were
fifteen, from seventy-five to one hundred
yards long, and the poor victims were piled
in four deep, an unrecognizable mass of cor
ruption. Persons on the ground informed
Colonel Fairleigh that the persons whose
business- it was to carry off and bury the dead,
habit-hardened by their ghastly work, did
not wait in some instances till the dying
soldier was actually dead, but bore him forth
to the verge of the trench, to make room for
others, and when the breath did leave the
body, have him at hand and ready for top
pling him into the yawning pit. Not less
than ten thousand of our noble soldiers, as
nearly as Colonel Fairleigh could ascertain,
raiy out from their lowly graves against the
inhumanity that made the closing period of
their lives an unvarying torture.
A returned soldier testifies that the day’s
rations at Andersonville, when not “cut off,"
were a half pint of meal, two ounces of meat,
a half pint of old beans full of bugs, which
we called “nigger peas.” About twice a
week each of us received about half a pint of
molasses. Each of us had a teaspoonful of
salt each day. We received our rations not
cooked, and received abouta footof wood, two
inches through it, each day to cook it with.
It is stated that the nqmber of letters re
ceived at Washington, from officers and-sol
diers offering to testify to sufferings at the
hands of Werz, the Andersonville jailor,
average one hundred per day. These letters
are all read, and to the most intelligent a list
of questions is mailed, with the request that
answers be given thereto and returned.
Should it then be deemed necessary to sub
poena the volunteer, a subpoena is made out.
A Raleigh dispatch to the Associated Press,
dated August sth, says:—“The wealthy
leaders of the late rebellion, who expect to
control the coming State Convention and the
-political affairs of North Carolina, have for
the past five weeks been giving public din
ners in many of the counties in this State to
returned members of the late rebel armies.
A committee was appointed and a day desig
nated for a like display of hospitalities at the
county seat of this county. As this looked
like a public exhibition of approbation to re
bel soldiers for their attempt to overthrow
the Government, it was suppressed by Major-
General Ruger.”
FINANCIAL.
The receipts from the internal revenue
have been averaging over • a million a day.
There are no counterfeits on the Na
tional Bank Currency, say the telegraphers
from Washington. The Treasury has a
sufficient amount of funds in the vaults to
pay every dollar of indebtedness to the army.
With the receipts of internal revenue and
certificates of indebtedness, the Secretary will
be enabled to meet all the claims upon the
Treasury until the next session of Congress.
The receipts from customs for July are
represented to be $10,000,000, and those for
the present month will be much larger. Five
eighths of the revenue are collected at New
York. The Government is represented as
a large seller of gold, the price of which re
ceded to 141 on the 11th. This may be re
garded as initiatory to the resumption of
specie payments.

Doubtful Mode of exhibiting Grat
itude. —A new church has recently been
built in Carmel, Putnam County, N. Y., by
Mr. Daniel Drew; the famous steamboat man
of N. Y. city, at a cost of $30,000. Doing
due homage to the man of means, the good
people have placed a marble slab in the front
of the church, with the following inscription
elegantly carved thereon : “The Daniel Drew
Methodist Episcopal Church.”
The emigration westward this season is
said to be larger than at any former time
since the California excitement. It is stated
that over five thousand trains and more than
forty thousand head of stock passed Fort
Laramie in the month of May. These emi
grants are largely made up of sturdy, hard
working men, who are accompanied by their
families, and are just the right material to
develop the rich resources of the Western
Territories. A gentlemen from Iffwa says
that the emigration to that State this season
is unprecedented.
Late Elections. —Five out of the nine
Congressmen just elected in Kentucky, are
out and out opponents of slavery. General
Rosseau, of the Louisville District, relieves
'the rebel sympathizer, Mallory. In Tennes
see, some • very suspicious characters have
been elected to Congress from the Middle
and Western portions, who may fail to satisfy
the body of their fitness to represent the
State in its Councils next winter. East
Tennessee has of course maintained its
ancient renown for loyalty and sent true men
to aid in the great business of governing the
nation.
There was a mob at Greenwich, Connect
icut, August 5, got up against a negro man
who had a white (Irish) wife. A negro wo
man in the family fired a gun, first over the
heads of the crowd, but that having failed to
intimidate them, emptied the other barrel right
in their midst, killing the ringleader, who was
a returned soldier. The mob thereupon dis
persed. The brave woman was taken into
custody, but the the case was promptly set
tled by the grand jury as justifiable homicide.
After the verdict, one of the jurrymen step
ped out from the box and volunteered Ms
advice that the family leave the place. They
appear to be bad characters.
The Freedmen. —The Washington des
patch to the Associated Press, August 7,
Bays: —Reports are daily received at the
Bureau of Freedmen’s Affairs of outrages
perpetrated on the colored people by their
former owners. A case has just ceurred in
in Stafford County, Virginia, in which a man
named Allsop armed himself, and, tMeatening
death to his servants if they attempted to
leave, defied the authorities to take them
away. A military guard was found necessary
to reseure the colored people and protect
them from violence. In the interior of the
South, slavery is still maintained, and ag
gravated by the determination of the planters
to make a much as possible out of their ser
vants.before the authorities reach them.
The State Convention of the Union party
in Maine, which met at Portland, August 10,
passed the following excellent resolutions:—
“That in recognizing the rebellious States,
it is the right and duty of the Government
to demand the ratification of the Constitu
tional Amendment abolishing slavery, and
the removal of all disability on account of
color, and to secure to all perfect equality,”
and “That the Emancipation Proclamation
of President Lincoln, the enlistment of over
one hundred thousand colored troops, the
good faith of the colored race amidst treason,
and their being paid like whites and placed
in the most dangerous places, has pledged
the national honor, that these people snail
have in fact, as well as name, conferred on
them, all the political rights of freedom, and
that the people of the United States will re
deem this pledge. ”
FOREIGN.
Some blockade-running cotton, to the
amount of 1000 bales, having arrived in Eng
land since the demise of the rebellion and
been delivered to the quondam financial
agents of Jeff. Davis & Co., the United
States officials jiave claimed and sued for it,
before the Court of Chancery. The Chan
cellor, in a preliminary judgment, took great
pains to make clear his opinion that the Con
federacy was a government de facto when the
cotton was carried away from our shores, and
concluded that “the United States must take
the cotton subject to fulfilling the agreement
made between the Confederate Government
and Mr. Prioleau; but as much dispute would
arise in negotiating the settlement of the
affair, and as one half of the cotton appeared
to be pretty certainly the property of the de
funct government under the agreement and
not Mr. Prioleau’s, he ordered that Mr.
Prioleau should be appointed receiver in the
cause, which would enable him to dispose of
the_ cotton and pay all proper charges, he
giving security for£2o,ooo, the amount which
would probably be found absolutely the pro
perty of the United States.” On this de
cision the New York Times remarks :—“ We
question whether, on final hearing, the rule will
be laid down quite as broadly as this. Take the
case of the Shenandoah for instance. Sup
pose, she being in an English port, we claim
her, and her master should say that the
rebel government had agreed to give him so
much prize money, as her commander, the
court could hardly say that we must take the
vessel subject to that agreement, and there
fore could not nave her without paying
prize money for the destruction of our own
vessels. ’ ’ It is said our Government will not
accept the decision of the chancellor.
The Atlantic telegraph cable has had slow
and interrupted progress. We have already
spoken of one loss of conducting power, dis
covered and corrected by underrunning,
eighty miles from the shore. Everything
moved on satisfactorily -until the 29th of
July, when signals again gave out, at the
distance of four hundred and fifty miles from
Valentia. This difficulty appears likewise to
have been overcome and the Great Eastern
resumed the work of paying out the cable.

gust 2d, reported all going on well, and 1200
miles paid out. The signals received were
singularly distinct. The ship was then nearly
two-thirds of the way to Newfoundland. She
was in the deepest water of the whole route,
2400 fathoms, a little over two and a half
miles. On Wednesday evening, the follow
ing was received:
“ Valentia, August 2—B P. M.—Signals
from Great Eastern became unintelligible ■at
noon, and no communication _ has been had
with the ship since, and no information re
ceived.” , *■
The cause was unknown, and at the de
parture of the steamer nothing additional had
transpired.
The latest advices from Liverpool are to

Eastern remained suspended, and nothing
had been heard from her since the 2d |inst.
U. S. o-20s steadily declined for some days

Spain, to the disgust of the Papal party,
has recognized the kingdom of Italy. Two
Spanish Bishops who protested against the
recognition are threatened with trouble, their
protests having been referred to the Council
of State. Thirty cases of cholera have
been reported at Valencia, Spain, and it has
also appeared in a camp at Gibraltar.
Portugal. —By the Moravian , with ad
vices to the 4th, we hear of a new blow to

Brazil and Paraguay are at war on land
and sea. A naval engagement was fought on
the River Parana, below Corrientes, June 11.
The Paraguayans attacked with spirit, and
had rather the best of the fight, till the Bra
zilians brought one of their steamers, con
verted into a ram, into the contest, and then
they had the battle all their own way, for it
made terrible havoc among the enemy’s fleet,
sinking three steamers, the Paraguay, Salto,
and JeQvhy , and one floating battery, and
compelling one steamer and five batteries to
surrender. The remaining four steamers,
which were likewise considerably damaged,
then retired. This came pretty near using
up the Paraguayan navy at a single blow.
The French organs in the city of Mexico,
according to New Orleans authorities of Aug.
7th, declare they will require 100,000 more
men to destroy the bands of Juarists. ’ The
rising of the people daily takes larger dimen

founded. Gen. Alvarez has just inflicted a
heavy blow on the Imperialists at Yepalla,
completely routing them, taking three pieces
of artillery Great disappointment is felt at
the.failure of the combined French and Im
perial forces against Negrete, in the pass of
Buena Yista. Cortinas reigns supreme from

Mrs. Surratt's counsel obtained from her an
acknowledgment of $3500 secured on her real
estate. The Louisville correspondent of the
New York Times, says that Wertz, the in
famous keeper of Andersonville prison, was
a defaulting clerk and a pseudo-homoeopathic
doctor previous to the rebellion. -Among
late rebel dignitaries steering for the Capital
of Mexico, through Monterey, are said to be
Generals E. Kirby Smith, Price, Wilcox,
Magmder, Walker, Bang, Preston, and
Leadbetter; Colonels Flourney and O’Ban

The State Treasury at Austin, Texas, has
been robbed of $30,000 in gold. The Rich

General Siegel’s paper in Baltimore, the
Wecker, proposes, in order to gratify those
white citizens who dread coming in contact
with black voters at the polls, that special
ballot-boxes should be kept for the latter
class. Twenty thousand United States
colored troops are from Kentucky. What a
help in settling the emancipation question
in that recalcitrant State! There are in
seventy-nine counties in Kentucky 125,860
slaves valued at $45.50 per head, against
203,987 valued at about $l7O per head a year
ago. General Brisbin claims that 100,000 ;
slaves have been freed in the State. There

REV. CHABLES A. SMITH, DD„
PRINCIPAL.
This Seminary has been in successful operation for
several years at No. 1530 Arch street. A new locality
has been selected, npt only because it is more central
in its relations to the most densely populated portions
of the city, but also because the school-rooms are un
usually large aud airy, and admirably adapted to the
purpose to which they are designed.
To the present and former patrons of the school it is
needless to speak of its advantages. To others, who
desire to send their daughters to a first-class institu
tion, it will be enough to say, that the design of this
school is to educate, in the only true sense. To secure
this end, thoroughness is aimed at in all the branches
pursued, so that the scholar may understand the
principle involved in every investigation.
The classes are. arranged in three departments
Primary, Academic, and Collegiate. There are sepa
rate and ample accommodations for primary pupils, as
5 r t^°* se belonging to the higher departments.
All the departments are subj ect to the same discipline
and general supervision. vuuo

TESTIMONIALS.
From Major-General Garfield, M. G.
Hiram, Ohio, March 20,1865.
Having learned that E. Clarence Smith is about to
establish an English and Classical School for boys, in
the city of Philadelphia, I desire to say that Mr.
Smith was a classmate of mino in college, and was
one of the first in his class, in all the studies of the
course. He is a gentleman of remarkably clear in
tellect and most thorough cultivation. I know of no
man to whom I would sooner entrust the education
of young men. J* a. GARFIELD.
From Ren, Mare Hopkins, D.D., President of Wil
liams College.
Williams College, March 14,1865.
Edward Clarence Smith pursued the full course of

class. MARK HOPKINS.
From Rev. Henry B. Smith, D.D., Professor tn Union
Theological Seminary, New York.
New York, March 24, 1865.
Icordially recommend the Rev. Edward Clarence
Smith as a superior scholar and admirable teacher.
He took a high rank in this Seminary, and was very
successful as a teacher in this city* In his personal
and christain character he is worthy of the highest
confidence. HENRY B. SMITH,
Williams College, March 23,1865.
E. Clarence Smith was a member of the senior class
in this College, of the year 1856. I recollect him as a
superior scholar, and more than usually correct and
elegant writer. I presume him. therefore, adequate
to render thorough and finished instruction in any
department he may undertake.
