Cadwalhulor ais, as a gentlemnn and
honorable officer, gavo nssurauco that
there would bo fidelity und promptnc&s
of Investigation In their cases and that
tho day of relief and of vindication fbr
them would soon arrive. They did not
understand that political malignity In
tho Iladlcal breast Is utterly relentless,
and that, united to self-interest, it will
disregard nil law and alt Justice tho
most sacred obligations of duty and tho
most itnperatlvo demands of humanity

officers of tho army (In high command

leaders and constrained to perforin the
behests of party as tho indltpcnsablo

mand and of their promotion in tho

vient- officer and ombarrassment and

to the independent and Just one. Near
ly all tho prisoners were continued In
confinement throughout tho whole of
September and beyond the election in
October without a hearing of any de
scription and without notico of charges
against them. Meantime ns Gen. Cad
wallader could report' nothing sufficient

forces In this county,) was equally tin

With is tho result of his labors a bun

by an ald-do-camp of Gen. Couch were
ycll described as "trash," which tho
General himself spoke of subsequently
with contempt, and which when sub
Jectcd to dellberato examination and
answer before n Military Commission
wero found to bo In their essential
.features wholly false or worthless.-Theso
papers however'furnlshed a pretext for
tho continued Imprisonment of our
citizens. Though they had been taken
in secret and by most disrcputablo
means, though they wero afterwards
Withheld from public Inspection and
their contents unknown to the prison
ers In their Ilastllo upon tho Delaware,
they wero proclaimed to bo most dam
natory upon tho accused, a complcto
revelation oflnlqulty In Columbia coun
ty and a full vindication of tho Invasion
and all its works. This was tho speech
of tho Iladlcal Press at Philadelphia, at
Harrlsburg and at Iiloomsburg, along
tho West Branch and In Luzerne,
wherever Interest could bo felt In tho
affairs of this county or political capi

But'tlmipa-cd on ; the Stato election
was hold on the 11th of October and ono
of (ho main objects of tho Invasion be
catno an accomplished fact. More than
forty citizens had been kept from tho
election by direct Imprisonment while
others had been Intimidated or restrain
ed in their frco action as electors, and
tho reports of conspiracy and resistanco
tolawln thts county had been extensive
ly usod abroad for tho purposes of par
ty ii; tho election canvass. Under theso
circumstances of consummated iniquity
of accomplished purposo It was not un
reasonable to think that an appeal on
behalf ol tho prisoners for long delayed
compassion and Justice would bo re
garded with favor.or at all events would
bo heard with civility, by tho military
power. Such an nppeal was according
ly mado In tho pwjcr quarter, and wo
will procoed to stato Its character, pro

THE KXl'KDMltOvS TO CUAMHKKSniMUl
On Friday,, tho 1 Ith of October, (after
tho dbchnjia of Sheriff Furman and his
coiujKUiJflos,) llr. Duckalow and Col
Freeze went aver from Harrlsburg to
Cliauabersburg to sco Gen. Couch and
Induco him to discharge the Fort Mllllln
prisoners. Tho General had his Head
Quarters at Chambersburg, and tho ap- j
plication to him was recommended by
Gov. Curtln as more "convenient and
hopeful than would bo one addresscl to
the War Department at Washington.
An Interview with Gen. Couch was
promptly had and tho urrosts wero fully
dlscussed,togcthor with tho circumstan
ces of Ikardshlp attendant and conso
qent upon them. Tho unquestioned fact
that there had never been any actual
resisiam-e to any officer of the Govern'
tnent in thin county, was called to tho
General 'a attention ; a wcro the further
facta, that the prisoners had never been
tltaJttH ami icere not subject to military
jurluUction, and that they hud been in
confinement a month and a half without
trial or notice oj charge against them.
He was reminded also that ho had al
ready ascertained that tho several re
ports concerning Iho alledgcd 'lnsurret!
tlon'(upon which tho occupation or this
county by troops had been ordered and
tho arrests mado) wero either wholly
groundless or greatly exaggerated, and
that no public necessity could requlro
further proceedings for tho purpo&o of
either precaution or punlshtriont. Gen.
Couch's roply was scattered and ovaul vo,
though made at sufficient length. Per

a fear of responsibility to bo Incurred.
The fato of M'Clellan (under whom ho
had held command) was boforo his oyes
a commander, .who for fulling ts do
political work and conduct a war of
spoliation had been degraded and ho
hesitated between tho .demands of hu
manity nnd Justice on thoone hand and
tho promptings of fear and wlfNh In
terest on tho olhor. IIo recited his
Journey to Columbia county ut Iho In
ception of tlm Invasion, touched upon
his visit to Fort Mfllln, expressed his
sympathy with tho prisoners and par
ticularly the old men nmoug them,
mado sundry oxcuscs for delay In Iho
oxamlnatloil of their cases, thought
ninny of them might turn out lo bo In
nocent or very llttlo to blame, could not
say Just when they could bo tried but
would oxpcdlto proceedings as much ns
possible. Ho said ho hail ordered tho
rclcnso of two or three of tho men who
wero reported to be sick i At this point
of tho discourse Col. Freczo significant
ty and severely remarked, "General,
ono of thoso men, (Mr. Roberts,) has
been discharged by a higher authority
than yours ho Is dead I" Thero follow
ed an awkward pause, but conversation
was presently resumed. Tho General's
attention was called to tho act of Con
gress which expressly required that
whero persons charged with resisting a
draft wcro arrested by tho military pow
er they should be forthwith delivered to
the civil authorities for trial, and It was
urged upon him that ho could end all
difficulty and embarrassment, so far as
ho was concerned, by complying with
tho law, while ho would extend to tho
prisoners a legal right to which they
wero clearly entitled. To this ho mado
no direct answer but saidho would write
to Washington, for Instructions. IIo
was then requested to allow tho
prisoners ( or such of them as ho
would not dlschargo) to glvo' ball
for their appearance before u Mili
tary .Commission for trlal.whenover tho
Judgo Advocato should bo prepared to
proceed agal nst them.so that In tho mean
time they might return home, cscapo
the hardships and danger to health in-
separab'o from confinement and bo en
abled to prcparo their defence ; In other
words, to allow to thorn ono of tho ordi
nary privileges extended bylaw toper
sons accused of criminal ofieuces beforo
tho courts of justice; and ho was told
that any amount of ball which ho
might requlro would bo promptly fur
nished. Tho General thought ho could
not take ball, and turning toMr.Bucka
lew said : "I ask you as a lawyer wheth
er n bail-bond for the appearance of
the prisoners would be good for any
thing and could bo enforced ?" To this
direct question Mr. Buckalew answered,
that if tho proceeding of arrest and
trial of our citizens -by Military Com
mission was lawful such bail-bond
would bo good for it would bo taken to
enforce a legal obligation ;if tho mili
tary power had jurisdiction of the cases
a contract of bail in aid Of that jurisdic
tion would bind tho parties and could
bo enforced, but If tho proposed trials
wero unlawful a bond for tho appenr-
unco of tho accused would bo'worlhlcss
Gen. Couch' said ho 'thought so too a
bond would be good for nothing and
ho must hold on to his prisoners in or
der to securo their appcaranco for trial.
v hat au acknowledgment was this of
usurpation nndoutrage! that bruto forco,
naked power, acting In contempt of oil
law, could nlono hold theso mon In prls
son or drag them beforo strango tribu
nals ! It was nn unblushing announce
ment or tho rule of tho strong hand and
of despotic will, as a substitute for all
tlioso fundamental and statuto laws
which can alono bind tho rightful obo
dionco of the citizen.
At tho instnneo of Col. Freeze, how
over, tho cases of two of tho prisoners
wero acted upon favorably by Gen.
Couch. Thoy wcro shown by certifi
cates to bo sick and suffering from con
finement and an order was mado for
.their dlschargo upon parolo to appear
and answer when called, for. ,Tho in
terview closed with an appointment for
another at a later hour of tho same day.
That second Intervlow was had but
without any dcflnlto result. During
tho latter part of it Col. Alex. K. M'
Cluro was present aud interposed somo
remarks In favor of tho prisoners or of
their dlschargo. Though a Republican
leader ho was sagacious enough to sco
that arbitrary arrests and political per
secution could not in, the .long run bo
advantageous to Ills party,and ho scorn
ed tho short-sighted, potty und viudlc
tlvo policy whicli Inspired the Invasion
and dictated tho outrago upon our poo
plo. Tho lollowing morning, October 15th,
a final intervlow was had with General
Couch and tho application for dlschargo
of prisoners again urged. Ho was still
fidgety and chatty but undetermined,
nnd It become necessary at last to bring
matters to a point aud conclude tho
negotiation. Mr. Buckalow thereforo
said to him, "General, wo camo to you
to get relief for our neighbors supposing
you hod full power over them and
would bo disposed to act kindly. Even
their enemies might now agree to their
discharge as tho election is over. If you
can net say bo ; If you cannot wowlll go
at onco to Gen. Cameron anil apply
through him to tho Secretary of War
anil tho President for relief. I bellovo
ho will aid in and we cannot go homo
until this question is settled." Tho truo
ground was at last reached. Couchknew
Uint Gen. Cameron was hostile to him
and had denounced him, and ho had a
wuoiesomo terror of Stanton. Ho there
foro camo to a quick conclusion and an
iwercd with energy. "IWt bo lo nnv
body ; I will do whatever J can for your
men ; I'm sorry thero has been so much
delay und I will send an officer nt onco
to Inquire Into their cases. As booh as
lio can report to mo I will dlschargo all
of thorn but a few to bo hold for trial."
.tie proceeded to bay that ho would im
mediately call in tho officer to bo do
tnllod for tho Investigation and glvohim
jus directions. And thereupon "tho
General Commanding tho Department
of tho Susquehanna" rang his boll, or
dered to.his prosonco ono of his officers
(we bellove a Col, Meredith) and in-
lormcu mm that bosido tho wrlttxi or
der which would be furnished Jilm he
would explain, to him tho object of hU
appointment. Ho was to proceed, forth

with Capt. Wosscls (tho Judgo Advo

(Vouch) tho names of tho nrln.clnal of.

uio rest inigbt bo discharged., The ro-
port was to bo mado as quickly raspoHsI
bio. To a (mention put to tho. Gonoral
as to the number to le held fi ;r trial, ho
replied, "flvo, soven, nine, half a dozen
about that." Tho officer retired to

Henry J. Raymond, Esq., of New

at Lima, Now York, January 21th, 1820,
and was tho son of a small farmer. Ho
received his1 education at tho Vermont
University. IHo was mado assistant
editor of. tho New York Tribune when
that paper was started, In 1811. Two
years afterwards ho became ono or tho

18.5.1 ho founded tho Now York 'limes,
which, under his management and edi
torship, has grown to bo ono or tho

been a member of tho legislature and
Lleutouant Governor of his natlvo State,
and was a member of tho Thirty-ninth
Congress. Ho was a delegate to tho
National Union Convention held at
