John A. Gilmer, of North Carolina, writes
a letter to a friend on political affairs, which
has been published. He speaks of his efforts
to arrest bloodshed before the war, and quotes
a speech made by him in the House of Re
presentatives, January 26, 1861; says _ Mr.
Lincoln offered him a seat in his Cabinet,
and listened with interest to his plans for
peace. Quoting the act preliminary to seces
sion, passed by the Legislature of North
Carolina, May 11, 1861, he continues:
“ Death was enacted for all the advocates
of the Union in North Carolina after that
date. The people of all the counties in the
State elected their delegates to the conven
tion, by whose unanimous vote the State was
declared out of the Union, but this not until
all her surrounding States had gone. _
“All this having occurred, I conceived it a
duly to yield to and obey the laws of my own
Legislature. But not simply for this, or the
idea that I should be for my country, right
or wrong; nor to avoid the criticism, if the
South was conquered, that it would have
been otherwise if I had done my duty; nor
for the purpose of escaping trial and death,
but because I did verily believe that if the
Southern States—although they had been
led to act so rashly and so unwisely—were
conquered, ruin to them would be the result.
“Under the hope that something would
turn up by which I might in my position be
able to aid in securing a peace, I became a
candidate and accepted my election to the
last Confederate Congress. My colleagues
will attest to the exertions which I made,
whilst for a brief period in this Congress at
Richmond, to prevail on the President to
consent to the sending of commissioners to
try the efficacy of negotiation. The journal
shows the proposition which I thought ought
to be made to the Government of the United
States to begin, at least, the subject of nego
tiation for peace. * * . *
“This brings me to the point in which you
desire more particularly to hear me. I am
for peace and order—l am for the Federal
Government and for the State_ Government,
and am lor getting the same into operation
as speedily as the same can be safely and pru
dently done, and on the terms proposed. We
are powerless. We are in a state-of submis
sion. I have yielded (and in a manner satis
factory to my slaves and to the Government,
I trust) to the emancipation required. True,
I should have preferred other terms. But
to talk of these now is useless and out of
place, and in my opinion it is unwise to think
of or suggest any further resistance —I am
opposed to all further rebellion. Let us
■strive, by willing and ready submission, to
secure amnesty and a modification of the con
fiscation and other laws. * * * Give
proper care and attention to moral and reli
gious oulture —give no ear to useless disputa
tions —give every man his own and do hurt
to no one, ana I feel confident that in a few
.years we shall have a State improved, rather
■than ruined or injured. lam a friend to the
State Government and to the Federal Gov
ernment, and shall sustain President Johnson
in his efforts to bringpeace and order out of
confusion and war. His efforts in the last
Congress in which we served together, and
more especially his speech of the sth and 6th
of February, A. D. 1861, of which I distri
buted many thousands, show that he loved
his country and his whole country.
“Yours truly,
“ John A. Gilmer.”
Fayetteville, N. C., after enjoyingtempo
rary exemption from military occupation, was
garrisoned again early in August by a regi
ment of “U. S. C. T.” Disloyal utterances
by a Fayetteville journal was the cause.
Whereupon the Wilmington, N. C., Herald
•says :
“We refer thus at length to these cases —
and these are merely samples of many that
might be cited—not to dictate, censure,
praise, blame or excuse, but simply to spread
the lesson they teach before the people. It
is folly to kick against the pricks. Every act
of resistance ; every indication of hostility;
every manifestation of a want of respect for
the authority of the United States Govern
ment, will surely react against the actor. It
has cost the United States three thousand
millions of dollars and a quarter of a million
of valuable lives to reclaim these Southern
States from the possession of its enemies.
This immense cost has enhanced the value of
the prize. No power on earth can now com
pel a separation of these States. The Gen
eral Government will hold the reclaimed
States at any and every sacrifice. This is an
established fact beyond all dispute.”
The Richmond Republic, Aug. 14, says:
11 The applications of many citizens of Rich
mond have been approved by the Attorney-
General, but the instances in which the par
dons have been actually signed and delivered
are rare. We know of but three well-authen
ticated cases. There are some noisy politi
cians who go about bragging that they have
their pardons 1 in their pockets, ’ but implicit
credence is not given to their statements. ’ ’
Provisional Governor Marvin reached
Jacksonville, Florida, August 2, and issued
his proclamation the next day. In this he
says:—“By the operations and results of the
war, slavery hasceased to exist in this State.
It cannot be revived, Every voter for dele
gates to the convention, in taking the am
nesty oath, takes a solemn oath to support
the freedom of the former slave. The free
dom intended is the full, ample, and complete
freedom of a citizen of the United States.
This does not necessarily include the privi
lege of voting. But it does include the idea
of full constitutional guarantees of future
possession and quiet enjoyment. The ques
tion of his voting is an open question—a pro
per subject for discussion —and is to be de
cided as_ a question of sound policy by the
convention to be called.”
He does not name a day for the convention.
In a speech to the people, he said: —“We
are about to enter on a new career. Between
the two races a good understanding must be
created and continued. Some persons, dis
appointed and vexed, will not have any faith
in the colored man. They do not think of
him with pleasure, now that he has become
free. They have no anxiety to see him so
cially and.morally elevated because they have
not faith in his capabilities. Let me say in
all plainness to such, try him. Give him a
fair chance. Teach and encourage him.
Your happiness and prosperity are now in
separably connected with the welfare of this
people. Their elevation will add to the
power and prosperity of the State.- They
cannot remain tn a stationary condition.
Their movement must be upwards, or they
will become in many cases, the veriest vaga
bonds, and rest like an incubus upon tiie
country. In many respects the white man is
superior to the colored man, and his respon
sibility is correspondingly increased. We want
the colored people here. In their muscles
and sinews the State has immense wealth;
but that they may be made available we must
treat them kindly, give them an education,
and make them an honorable part of the body
politic.”
According to a newspaper correspondent,
Senator Yulee advises that the elective fran
chise be given to such negroes as can read,
or have taxable property, or have seen service
in the army. Other prominent Floridians
take the same view.
A dispatch from Mobile, July 24, to the
Selma Daily Times, says:—“The civil offi
cers here are rapidly qualifying themselves
under Governor Parsons’ proclamation. By
to-morrow the civil officers will be qualified,
and military rule will conditionally cease.”
The Mississippi Provisional Convention is
in session. Business is only in course of pre
paration by committees. A memorial was
adopted to be presented to the President of
the United States, praying him not to garri
son the State with negro troops, which was
referred to General Osterhaus, to be by him
forwarded to the President.
The Nashville Dispatch, is informed that
the rebel General Roddy was arrested in
Louisville a few days ago and taken to that
city. He will be taken to Knoxville, its in
formant states, in company with Dick McCann
to stand his trial for murder.— —Twenty Vir
ginians of the twenty thousand dollar class
were pardoned August 17th. The property
of Hover & Ludwig, who did the rebel go
vernment engraving in Richmond, has been
confiscated. They were very wealthy.
Guerillas are not yet dispensed in Tennes
see. Some Union soldiers who went out from
Jackson, in that State, to hunt up Govern
ment horses, were attacked by a great hand
of these miscreants a few days ago, and
driven back to Jackson with a loss of three
killed.
It is announced that the civil officers in
South Garolina will not be permitted to re
sume their functions until the State Conven
tion restores the State Government.-
Various public meetings have been recently
held in the eastern part of Virginia, in which
the people expressed strong loyal sentiments.
It is reported that Governor Pierpont has
decided to change his policy and act in direct
opposition to the course of the Virginia
secessionists.
The President has permitted the rebel
Congressman Burnett, of Kentucky, to go
home, and has restored him his property, but
without formally pardoning him.
POLICY OF THE GOVEBIHENT.
Policy op the Government towards
theßebel States. —A Washington dispatch
to the Associated Press, - August 15, say's :-
“There is not now, nor is it believed that
•there will be, any substantial or material dif
ference between the President and his Cabi
net with regard to the restoration of the
Southern States. On reason for this opinion
is the fact that all the proclamations appoint
ing the Provisional Governors are precisely
in the same words, founded on the Tennessee
arrangement, and maturely considered by the
President and approved by the Cabinet,
showing a carefully considered plan, the
Amnesty Proclamation being in accord with
that document. The President, it is known,
from the representation of his intimate
friends, is determined to pursue substantially
the reconstruction programme thus laid down,
having reasonable eyidence from the South
that it will be successful. Many of the ac
counts from that section are exaggerated, and
misrepresent the true and favorable condition
of public opinion. As the result of careful
inquiry, it is believed that there is an unwil
lingness on thepart of a portion of the Cabi
net to have Jefferson Davis tried for treason;
while there is reason for asserting that the
President is persistent in having him brought
before a civil tribunal. Chief Justice Chase
is expected to arrive here, in the course of a
few days, for consultation with the President
as to the time, the manner, and the place
which shall be designated. The ablest coun
sel in the United States are also being con
sulted upon the subject. There is a fixed
determination on the part of the Executive
that there shall be an immediate and fair
trial, by a jury of the country, for high trea
son.”
Per contra , take the following from the
Washington correspondent of the Independ
ent :
“The Tennessee election greatly disap
points the President. It could not fail to do so,
for it is his own State, ‘ reconstructed’ after
his own plans, and it has elected a delega
tion to Congress, a majority of which, it is
feared, are not loyal to the Government.
Yet Tennessee was regarded as one - of the
most trustworthy of the States which went
madly into the rebellion. The President is
a thoughtful man, and he perceives that his
reconstruction plans, so far as Tennessee is
concerned, have lamentably failed. This is
generally admitted in what are called ‘ ad
ministration circles,’ and it is supposed that
the Tennessee delegation will not succeed in
obtaining admittance to Congress. It is
doubtful if the President desires them to be
admitted. It is no longer to be concealed
that a decided majority of the white inhabi
tants of the South is either disloyal or un
willing to acquiesce in the extinction _ of
slavery. There is not one of the States which
joined the ‘ Confederacy’ which can be
trusted with self-government. The Presi
dent and his immediate advisers will ac
knowledge this fact.
“The prospect for next winter’s Congres
sional contest upon the subject of reconstruc
tion or restoration is good. The history of
the last three months has drawn together all
classes of Bepublicans, and, so far as I can
learn, both radicals and conservatives are
asking, 1 What is necessary to save the na
tion from disaster?’ There is no longer the
thought of a bitter controversy between
friends on this subject. The President is far
less fixed in his ideas respecting the mode of
restoration than he was three months ago,
and, unless I am greatly mistaken he will not
urge Congress, in his message, to admit dele
gations from the Southern States indiscrimi
nately.”
The New York Times which has been dis
posed to favor the President’s policy, sounds
a very different note in its leader of August
18 th. It declares itself disappointed “in the
hope that a great number, indeed, in many
localities a large majority of the people in
the rebellious States were really loyal, and
only seeming traitors by the all-compelling
power of military depotism. We had hoped
that when the yoke of Jeff. Davis should be
lifted from their necks, a very considerable
majority would rejoice in their enfranchise
ment, and gladly come back to the protection
and defence of our great Union.”
Without indicating any line of policy, it
makes the following declaration: —“It is,
perhaps, too soon to arraign the leaders and
exponents of sentiment in the lately rebel
States; but it is not too soon to say that
every indication of their policy—as we have
to some extent specified above—seems to be
in the wrong direction; that it is the mani
fest intention of the Southern leaders to fos
ter and perpetuate the antagonism of old
times; to embitter the gall so long fed and
encouraged by Calhoun and his followers; to
rebuild the wall of' sectional division, and
again man the fortress of local prejudice. We
have searched with great dilligence in every
place likely to yield information —and we
have the advantage of many private letters
on the same topics—and we say with sincere
regret, that our best judgment more than
justifies the estimate herein made of the tone
and temper of the Southern people—or at
least of their representative men. ’ ’
The Pennsylvania State Union Convention,
in session last week passed the following:—
Resolved , That the mild and generous me
thod of reconstruction offered by the Pre
sident to the people lately in rebellion, in the
judgment of this Convention, has not been
accepted in a spirit of honest loyalty and
gratitude, but with such evidences of defiance
and hostility as to impel us to the conviction
that they cannot be safely entrusted with the
political rights which they rejected by their
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY. AUGUST 42. 1865.
On the 2nd of August all telegraphic com
munication through the cable ceased, leaving
the operators at Valentia utterly in the dark.
It was not for two weeks that information
reached us on this side of the exact cause ol
the failure. On the 16th word came that
two days previously a schooner named First
Fruit had arrived at Harbor Grace, N. F.,
reporting that on the 6th she fell in with the
Great Eastern and her consort 1 errible ; two
hours afterwards she saw a beacon buoy, with
a flag marked “ Great Eastern , No. 5.”
Finally, the Terrible drew near the schooner,
and reported that the cable parted on ■ the
2d instant, and that the buoy was the mark
where the cable was last seen. The captain
of the First Fruit reports having asked the
Terrible whether they considered the cable
recoverable. The answer was: “Could not
say.” . ■
On the 18th, the diary of Mr. C. W. Field,
on board the Great Eastern, explaining the
catastrophe and the efforts to recover the
cable, was given to the press. We have space
only for the concluding portion:
Wednesday, Aug. 2.—At 5:27 A. M., on
resuming the insulation test, it was discovered
that there was a partial loss of insulation. The
ship was soon afterward stopped and the
cable transferred to the picking-up gear at
the bows. The operation of hauling in com
menced. By noon the engine used for pick
ing-up stopped for want of water for a con
siderable time. Two miles had been recovered
and the cable was cut to see if the fault had
come on board. About 12:30 P. M. the
cable caught and chafed on the mo\yh of the
“horse-pipe,” and was with considerable
difficulty removed, and at 12:35 it parted on
board where it was injured, just behind the
stoppers, and in a moment the end disap
peared in the water.
Distance run in the last twenty-four hours,
116 miles. Cable paid out, 132 miles. Re
covered two miles. Depth of water, 1950
fathoms. Total distance from Yalentia, 1063
miles. Total distance to Heart’s Content,
600 miles. Total cable paid out, 1312 miles,
equal to 14 per cent.
Steamed back toward Valentia twelve miles,
and commenced dragging for the cable.
Thursday, at 4A. M., it being evident from
he strain that the grapnel had caught the
able, we began to haul it; and at 11:50,
when 1150 fathoms of grapneling rope had
been got on board, a shackle broke near the
ship, and 1400 fathoms of the rope sunk witti
the cable to the bottom of the Atlantic.
A buoy was lowered with 2400 fathoms of
cable, and a “mushroom" to hold it and
mark the spot. During the operation of
picking-up, the machinery gave way. It_ is
supposed that a tooth broke off by the-strain,
and this getting in between the “spur”
wheel, smashed -the latter. This accident
happened twice, and the operation of hauling
in had to be performed by the capstan.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Weather unfavorable for recovering the cable.
Monday, Aug. 7. —Lowered another grap
nel. At 12:10 P. M. commenced 'dragging
for the cable. At BP. M. began to haul in,
and continued to do so slowly all night.
Tuesday, Aug. S. —At 7:50 A. M. 1000
fathoms of grapnel rope had been hauled in,
when the shackles broke just inside the ship.
Lost in this attempt 1500 fathoms of rope. A
second buoy was lowered to mark the spot.
The balance of this day and all the next was
fully occupied in having new shackles made
for the hauling-in rope, altering the capstan,
and making preparations for another attempt
to recover the cable. Had the apparatus
been ready, the weather on Wednesday was
much too rough to attempt any operations.
The two buoys rode out the gales in this
depth perfectly.
Thursday, Aug. 10. —At 7 o’clock A. M.
we began to lower the grapnel, and at 8:55
had out 2460 fathoms —all that was on board
the ships—and commenced dragging for the
cable and continued to do so until the even
ing, when we began to haul in slowly. ~
Friday, Aug. 11.—At 6A.M. we finished
hauling in the 2460 fathoms of rope, when
the grapnel came up foul with its own chain,
At 11 A. M. we began to lower the grapnel
again, and as soon as all the 2460 fathoms
were paid out we commenced dragging until
3-55 P. M., when we began to haul in slowly.
It was soon evident by the great strain that
the grapnel had caught the cable. At 7P.
M., when 710 fathoms had been recovered,
the rope parted.
As there was not sufficient rope on board
the Great Eastern to resume grapneling, it
was decided that she should return at once to
England.
Nearly $400,000,000 have paseed through
the Internal Revenue Bureau since its organ
ization, and so far it has not sustained the
loss of a smgle dollar by misconduct of any
of its officers.
The internal revenue system yielded an
average income of $1,375,000 a day to the
National Treasury during four days of last
week. The customs revenue of Hew York
during the same time averaged over $340,000
a day. The receipts of cotton averaged 3700
bales a day.
The sales of cotton at New Orleans for the
week ending August 17th, foot up 12,000
bales, and the receipts 23,000. The stock on
hand is 88,000 bales.
The property coming under the Ketchum
assignment of real estate, is estimated at
$500,000. A New York paper says, it is
generally thought the assets will yield about
fifty cents on the dollar. The wealth of Mr.
Ketchum, it is now asserted, has always been
over-estimated, and probably two millions
would coyer all before the forgery. The
claims against him are likely to reach nearly
five millions, if all of young Ketchum’s in
debtedness is included.
The certificates of indebtedness redeemed
at the Treasury for the week ending Saturday
amount to oyer nine millions of dollars, and
during the same period four hundred and ten
thousand six hundred dollars of mutilated
currency has been destroyed at the redemp
tion bureau.
It is announced in England that there is
no longer any prospect of the dividend or
principal of the rebel loan being paid.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Star says the popular subscription of ten
centimes for a gold medal for Mrs. Lincoln
was still progressing. There were 25,000
subscribers, and a committee was appointed
to raise the number to 100,000.
Maximilian progresses but slowly in Latinis
ing Mexico. His troops have lost San Luis,
Potosi, which has been taken by the Liberals.
Both sides are waging a most savage system
of warfare, neither taking any prisoners.
It was rumored in Paris at the latest dates
that reinforcements to the extent of 6000
troops were on the point of being sent to
Mexico—3ooo from France, and 3000 from
Algeria.
The Peabody Charity in London.—Mr.
Peabody’s magnificent donation of $750,000
for charitable purposes in London, has been
used by the trustees to build a block of model
lodging-houses—sets of apartments in which

alienable rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of
happiness.

sterling a week. The London press com
plain that the trustees have not carried out
Mr. Peabody’s desgn. The “Poor of Lon
don,” it is alleged, cannot afford even to pay
two shillings sterling a week, which is at the
rate of twenty-six dollars a year. The hard
working needle-women are excluded even at
that low rental. It would leave them actu
ally nothing to eat.

protection of Union soldiers, those of his old
neighbors and friends whom he deluded into
the rebellion being now his worst enemies.
The Union Convention of Pennsylvania
have nominated Gen. Hartranft for Auditor-
General, and Col. Jacob M. Campbell for

“Back Channel,” on the Delaware River,
which seprrates League Island from the
Pennsylvania shore, within the bounds of
this city. A late census makes the popu

More Swindling. —From the columns of
a single morning paper, we clip the following
Melancholy array of items:
The Postmaster at Mystic, Connecticut,
having swindled tl e entire neighborhood, has
mysteriously disappeared.—.-Another New
York bank teller has absconded with $150,000.
A clerk in the Quartermaster’s Depart
ment has been arrested at Bloomfield, N. J.,
for defrauding the Government. Another
heavy defalcation, by the employee of an ex
press company, is reported in New York.
Large Purchase. —The ground heretofore
occupied by Barnum’s Museum and the
burned district has been purchased by James
Gordon Bennett. Mr. Barnum receives $250,-
000; the other parties holding leases receive

the expiration of that time arrangements
have been made with the owner by which the
entire purchase will amount to $450,000.
The owner of the property is Mrs. Henry W.
Sergeant, of Fishkill, New York.
The Freedmen. —The Evansville Journal
says a host of colored people on the old Ken
tucky shere, opposite Newberg, agreed among
themselves that they would cease to labor for
the conservatives if they did not vote the
square-out Union ticket. The morning after
the election, accordingly, the conservatives,
who boasted of having voted “ the unscratch
ed,” found themselves without a single son of
Ham to look after their growing crop of corn,
potatoes, and tobacco.
The Pirate Still at Work.— The whal

Look o’er the fashions which old pictures show,
As the) prevailed some fifty years ago;
At leass that phase of fashion which conveys
Hints of those instruments of torture — stays!
And then compare the old, complex machine,
With that which iu these modern days is seen:
No more oy steel and whalebone is the chest,
Or side, o. liver, terribly compressed;
No more are curving ribs, or waving spine,
Twisted a*d tortured out of Beauty’s line
For skill and r-cisnce both unite to show
How much <r > ealth to dress do women owe.

The laws of Health with Fashion's taste combined
Supporting equally each separate part,
They cramp no action of the lungs or heart:
And no injurious ligature is placed
To mar the flexure of the natural waist;
Their fit is certain—and, what's sure to please,
In all positions there is perfect ease /
The figures of the young they help to form,
Aiding and not repressing every charm;
Irregularities of shape they hide,
So that by none can slight defects be spied,
While e’en a figure, which is understood
As being “bad,” may by their help seem good;
And matrons wearing them a boon will gain,
Their early symmetry they’ll long retain.
Insuring comfort, grace, good health, and ease,
These Sherman Corsets cannot fail to please;
One trial is the only test they need,
For then all others they must supersede;
Fashion’s demands with usefulness they blend,
And ao are truly every woman’s friend!
