CAMP, 3.IINIM ' S March 5, 1863 General Kegley . and the "Peace" Brigadier General James S. Negley, a Pittsburger, whu has proved himself a gallant commander and a fearless patriot, has written a lengthy letter to a friend in Butler county, in which he expresses his sentiments freely in reference to the craven conduct of those peace " Democrats who are calling peace meetings. and advocating a cessation of hostilities. We append a few extracts: Camp at ..11 - urfreekro, Tenn., ) February ] 5. 1563. Dz.ku : 111 ever felt a blush of shame and anger against citizens of my native State, it was when I learned of this shameless party strife, aiming to secure it cessation of hostilities; an OM, . dive branch of peace to the traitors who have insulted our nation al traditions, trampled upon the graves of our revolutionary halters, sacked our public treasury and armories, rob- , bed commerce of its honor, violated,. the sacred pledges of representatives, hurled brands ofdiscord into our min- cils, let loose the bitter waters of strife I in our social circles and prostituting every manly and womanly sentiment , to the hellish purpose of destroying. 1 our government. Itave they nmt nral t•eated our wounded, robbed our pris oners and outraged the dead ? Have they not ',yokel, every compact for the amelioration of the horrors of war? Have they not exiled thousands front their own firesides to perish or to live like wild beasts in the mountains ? Who will dare to deny that they have committed all these barbaraties ? 1 r 31 I A. M f DOWN TRAINS ENE Yet in view of all these facts, miser. able, shameless demagogues, cowardly traitors at home, seek to force the Gov ernment into an pnholy alliance with those perfidious people. Why should there be an effort made to shield the Southern traitors froth suffering the full penalty- of their crimes / Do they not deserve it? Is it not the legiti mate fruit of treason and rebellion ? Let no peace, no prosperity, no safety dwell in their lands, until they lay down their arms and acknowledge the Government they are endeavoring to destroy. If war in terrible earnest cannot conquer peace, what can ? If the resources of a mighty people and the determined energy and bravery of great armies contending for their birth right cannot crush this mushroom Con feck!racy, what can Will it be done by dishonoring ourselves in humbly craving their submission, and appeal in:, to them to restore the Government? they would answer your appeal with the thunder of artillery, and treat your submissiori with defiant scorn.— No; let it be spoken in the councils of the aged, and taught in the lessons of our youth, that the honor and integri ty of our Union !' must And shall be preserved," and that the penalty of treason is death.

GREAT WAR MEETING IN NEW YORK Democrats, Republicans, Conservatives Uniting upon one Platform. The New York papers contain long reportsof a meeting held in Nev, York, on Friday evening, the Gth, to sustain the President in the prosecution of the war. Cooper Institute Hall was crowded to overflowing, and another largo meeting was organized on the outside. Hon. George Opdyke, May or of New York, occupied the chair.— The •meeting was addressed by Rev. Dr. Hitchcock, James T. Brady, John Van 'Buren, and others._ Wu regret our space will not permit us to lay be fore oar readers the speeches in full. We give portionl; of Hr. Brady and Mr. Van Buren's addresses. Spoon of Jamaa T. Brady. James T. Bratty• an eminent, lawyer of New York, Breckenridge candidate for Governor fin• ISO), a warm suppor ter of Horatio Seymour, and a rigid Democrat of the Southern school, spoke as follows: But that grave of mine, however unnanmed or unnoticed, I want to be distinguished by some lingering of af fectiou in some heart that cleaves to the recollection of him who once was, as the.grave of one whose country was the United States et' America. (pad cheers.) That is my country. can admit of no other. There is no name to be substituted for that. There is no flag except ours that I can ever accept (cheers), no star to be taken out of it (cheers), no stripe to be stolen from it (cheers); stars to he added to it with out number (rhea's), stripes to be ac cumulated till the eyu tires of looking at them; so that, with all the gallant,- history of its hest and glorious associ ations of its present, however gloomy the prospect may appear to. many, there shall be for us now and hereafter, one country, one Constitution. one destiny. (Loud cheers.) Although from the first time that I over made a speech to the public till now, most of you have been opposed to me, as I well understand, in political sentiment, I thank God that it has been permitted me to be present on au oc casion4oo'Ni any one human :being would attach importance to my voice in saying that I stand up now, as I al ways have done, for the preservation of the Union and the Constitution of the country. (Loud cheers.) When I began life I heard, as I afterwards heard, a word called Yankee. It cer tainly does not apply to toe. But the South has applied that word to all ofl us at the North. Now I ten free to ; say that I discover in the Yankee cha racter some particular fixitures that I no more admire than I do seine of the ; prominent traits in the inhabitants of the land from which I sprang. But 1 ' nevertheless accept the name of Yan kee as applied to me in the spirit of, our forefirthers in the revolutionary- ; period; and if the South can find no I more of disgrace to be attached to it than its undying struggle for time pre servation of this Governinent, whether slavery exists or falls, I thank God for I it. (Loud applause ) Yon will pardon me. my fellow-citi zens, if I offend the prejudices of some of you in speaking my mind Time first speech I ever made fin- a Presidential candidate was in behalf of a Southern man. Front that time to this my sym pathies have been strongly with that portion of the Union. .llqt, gentlemen, td make the matter pointed, if' I lived in a house with a friend, and he an nounced to me some day that under no circumstances would he associate with me any longer, I would—propose to vintlieate what is :manly in my ma tare by telling him that / Ny9vl , l go somewhere where I eould find suitable company. (Great merriment and all plituse.) And when I came here to night-, and :LS I pas-CA the streets to-day, I was beset by gentle men for whom 1 have the greatest re spect, who wondered whether I would speak at a meeting where gentlemen always opposed to us in polities would be present, amid where, perhaps, a spirit of' freedom stronger than any that had entered into their mauves might be exhibited. (Applause.) Gentlemen, I differ with mummy or you in regard to the causes, the conduct, the prosecu tion, and the probable results of the war in which we are engaged. But, with -the blessing of [leaven, whoever may applaud and whoever may cen sure, I would be false to thd Irish race from which I sprang, to find here a home and a refuge from the persecu tion and . oppression of that detested land to which the first speaker too po litely referred (applause and a loss), it' I did not use my last breath, and em ploy the last quiver of my lips. in the utterance ofa pray - yr to heaven against all assailants, internal and external, for the preservation of the American Government. (Loud applause.) When this war broke out, I knew that it was urged by time South. I hoped that it might terminate early; 1 hoped that my southern countrymen —for such they are—would develops among them some desire to remain with us. I detected with regret that they lied prepared means to make an assault upon a Union that they ought to love. maintained silence in regard to it: ' you'kvill excuse my egotism, bat I now justify myself in my own presence. I found that they proposed to take to themselves Fort Sumpter, the forts at Key West and Pensacola, ; Tortugas and Fortress Monroe. I thought it was qttite essential to the flightily mind prosperity of the country -PERSEVERE.- that we should retain these fortresses. 1 think so now. I did hope, however, that the Southern people would put their feet upon the necks of their lead er, and insist upon the maintenance of the Union. But they have inform ed us that they would consent to no such condition. They have told us that if we gave them a blank paper and pencil to write the terms of a new compact, they would not agree to it. Therefore it is a war declared for all vlti mate results that can come, and I spit upon the iVorthcra Man who tales any position except for the maintenance of the Government. (Hero almost the entire audience rose tu, their feet, waved their hats, and cheered vociferously for some moments.) Great apprehensions are entertained lest England should interfere. 1 have prayed to God, on my bonded knees, that she would. (Loud applause.)--- I Let, her but exhibit one manifestation 1 in that direction, and there is not a man of my race that would talk about the exemption of forty-five years of age. (Great laughter.) He would bubble up on his crutch, in the ardent expect ation of spiitling the head of any one who undertook to interfem in a matter that belongs to ourselves. Permit me . ' however, to do justice to those wise, excellent. and patriotic gentlemen of England, u ho have been so just toward us throughout this controversy. I would disgrace myself, and insult you, if I did mint' acknowledge here my gratitude to those who, without fear or hope of reward, have stood by our cause. I would do myself injustice if I did not admire the character of that great man, Sohn t(loud applause) whose last observation in regard to The London Herald and Standard is that he does not care much about their censure, for neither of them, in the markets of England, cluld affect the price of a pinch of snuff. (Laughter and applause ) Tho single reason,. as you all know, why Franco and Eng land desire to interfere in this fight, is an acknowledgment, in the presence of the world, that they are indebted to us for the means of employinu , and supporting their population..(A ppl b ause) Now, fellow•citizens, I am met ev erywhere, as. you ara, by the question, " How is this thing. to• end ?" I am sorry to say that the presupposed an swer to that question is interfered with by two classes of meo. First, by the women of this country. Bach elor as I am, no doubt this remark will , subject Inc to cei,sure. But I say, it' the WOMOIt the'Sorth had manifests ,ed tkut interest, whielr they should in the success of our cause, which the women of the South have (toile in theirs, thousands more of men would hare been stilll:lhded to take their po sition in the field.- I can never find myself es rappant with that claw of people who manifest something like pleasure . at the SUCCOSS of our What it this war (,out? It certain ly has grown into a war; it certainly is h war of the North against the South. And when I lathed with South.- emus, as 1 did with 'hree, in Philadel phia last Sunday, as acdcnt .S'ee:ssion ists and as bitter opponeats as I can find anywhere—as bitter as those tell) cluster in presenee of Jeffersaa Dan's hinis:l . l-- I said, " Gtihtleinen, you mast admit that there. is a moral superiority in the people, with whom I am associat ed, when you can talk to the freely what I would not thar.. to soy at the South. exceptthe peril of exist ence." [Applause.] .And I said to them, as I say to you, how is this thing to end? I say, with your p mission, gentlemen, to my friends of the Democratic party, whom I cannot meet one by ono on the street, and who, perhaps, would not value my opinion if I did--Sir, how do you pro pose to end it? The South say to you, " You are all Yankees; we pro pose no association with you, and will consent to none." Have you ever seen a man with a.- whito face upon him or a black face upon him who would pursue, for the sake of society, the person who spurned him ? [Cheers.] You ask foe bury this is to end. With the feeble powers that I Inure possess ed since I arrived at man's estate, I have struggled for that which I would contend for if the Constitution were restored or continued, that is every right which the South can justly claim under that sacred instrument. But they say, we will make no peace. 'tk, They propos.) that there shall be two governments on this soil, armed governments. Sir, I cannot consent to any such condition: [" No !"]— Rome and - Sparta, Carthage and Ath ens, were all republics; this was taught to you in your primer. Each of them was a military power. I re fer you to The Federalist and the arti cles of Alexander Hamilton in regard to the possibility of maintaining sepa rate organizations of government on this continent. When you can an swer them let me see your treatise or hear your discourse, and I will be sub missive, as I hope I always have been, I to the voice of reason. But, Mr. Southerner, listen to me and the mon who have stood by the South against the denaneiations ofpresses—and,gon- Bernell, I see them represented on this platforni—listen to me, who with, the feeble capacity that I possess, have in 'sisted always that you should have all the rights to which you are entitled.— You say no. Hr. Lincoln was elected President, but you went into the can vass. lie was chosen President, and yet there was a majority in both branches of Congress against him. I defy you to point out a single "het of the Government which should have provoked any hostility on your part. Butt as long as there is breath in my body—if you make it a question be tween the South and the North—l should think I was unworthy of the mother who bore mo if I did not go for any portion s,ustained hy the Cofistitut 121 rie ____--- 1 lion of the United States. [Applause. Before I vaw the ruins of the Old World I thought I should shed a tear over them, but when I discovered that they were the steppingstones by which the human race rose to its pres ent height, they became a pleasant sight to me. Here. civilization has found its last resting.place. There is no place to which to go back; civiliza tion knows no regurgitation; it has no re.fluent wave. The people of the South in the single State of Virginia would never employ the necessary physical power to redeem that exhaus ted soil. Nobody will say, after my discourse closes, that I have been very eulogistic to the speaker, but se riously in the presence of my God, in the exercise of the best capacities that I know how to employ, I say to my friends of the South, however gallant, and chivalric and persevering may be their struggle in the field, all history will be false, all analogies fallacious, every promise to the human race an absurdity, if this people, who have conquered the barren East, and con- Tiered the ocean, and are willing to l conquer all circumstances of privation, shall not own the whole of this conti !lent, befbro this country expires -- 1 [Loud and continued applause.] I Speooh of John Van Bunn, History will record that the worla never witnessed a rebellion againgt a gee ernmental authority bcfore, where the reb i els could not lay their finger upon a thing Ito- show that either their property, their ltberty, or their rights had been, in the !slightest particular, invaded. [Great Applause.] This being the fact, the city of New York sent forth 80;000 men to quell this rebellion. Her capi talists advanced $300,000,000 to put down this rebellion. The State of New York sent 200,000 men, and I am to argue, in the face of these facts and the past history of this contest, that the rchellioei is atrociously un just, and that the war in which we have engaged with the South is right- Cully prosecuted by us in vindication of the Constitution and the Union.= [Applause.] Now, what is the condi tion of this contest' Tisey were not I satisfied with what I have detailed, but they announced they were going I to establish a Republic, the corner -1 stone of which should be slavery, and they are now engaged in that task, in j endeavoring to establish a Republic lon this continent in 180:3, the corner ! stone of which shall be slavery. Now, f went to Herkimerin MS - tolaya - corner-stone, but it was not this.— [Laughter.] It was as' much unlike this as anything you cart possibly im agine, and it adds no additional attme- I tions to the contest, as far as' I am concerned, that they should avow this objecCin prosecuting the war. It is now a contest forced upon the non-slave ' holding and loyal slaveholding States, by those who are endeavoring to build up a 'republic based on slavery To prostrate a rebellion that has that object in view, I am willing to devote any means, any time, any exertions Within in power, during the rest of my life. [4pplaie anti three cheers.] Now let tts see whotlikw there is any thing worth considering in what is suggested by those who dissent from us, and are unwilling to prosecute this war. The measures that have been recently adopted by Congress are so lately adopted, that it becomes any man who is careful in what ho says to be guarded in speaking of them. The President issued two proclamations_ both of them, as I have frnuently sta ted, I disapproved. The issued both before I spoke en the 13th of October, and before Gov. Seymour spoke. Nei ther of ud saw anything in them which prevented us from favoring a vigorous prosecution of the war. If there was nothing then, it is certain there is nothing now.• [Applause.] Tho bill which has excited the sensibilities of several gentlemen who have spoken in Now Jersey, and at a certain hall in this city, a bill which gives extraordi nary powers over the purse and sword to the President of the United States. They are bills which seek to protect by indemnity the President and those connected with him from arrest. They aro opposed to another bill, as I un derstand, which has become the law, which authorizes the President, in his discretion, to suspend the writ of habe as codpas. [Applause.] I will state now, as briefly as I can, what are my views in regard to this. In the first place as to the bill which gives the President the enormous power over the sword and purse, I agree that it makes him almost a dictator. I agree that it is a very great stretch of power. I argue that unless there may be a necessity for it, it shotild"not be done. Everybody knows that in prosecuting a war under a Republican Government, which consists of several States, the great apprehension is that there may not be unity on the part of the States sufficient to impart energy to the ex ecutive heads. That was predicted as ono of the grounds upon which our system of government would fail. I call the attention of my Democratic friends to this, because there seems to be particular solicitude about them now. [Laughter.] Tho President was given the power of the purse and the sword in 1839, when Groat Brit ain had directed forcible possession to be taken of a portion of the State of Maine, and Sir 4"ohn Harvey had moved troops of Great Britain into that torri-, tory to hold it. The Governor of the IStato of Maine met this action by mov ing Maine troops on to the same terri tory. Tho President of tho United States called the attention of Congress to it, and left it to their own wisdom what ought to bo done. :Now I hold in my hand a copy of the bill that they passed upon that occasion, in 1839. will state to you the substance of the various seetiona, without (le,intrl you , I . , •" • TERMS, $1,50 a year in advance. at this late hour by reading the bill.— The first section puts the whole naval and military force of the United States, and the militia, at the disposal of the President. [Applause.] The second declares that the militia,'when called out, shall be compelled to serve six months. • The third gives the Presi dent power to call out 50,000 volun teers. In those days when our army had never reached 8,000 men, it was a weighty matter to call oat 50,000 men, and was regarded ail an enormous authority. [Laughter.] The fourth section gives the President power to complete and employ all the armed vessels of the United States—thus put ting the whole army and navy of the United States at his disposal. [Ap. plause.] The fifth section appropri ates 810,000,000 to carry into effect the provisions of this act. In those days ten millions of dollars was a great deal of money. [Laughter.] The sixth section appropriates $lB,OOO to send a special minister to Great Britain. The seventh section authorizes him to ex pend a million of dollars in finishing the fortifications upon our seaboard, and building them. The eighth sec tion directs that the militia and vol unteers, When called out, shall be por tions of the army of the United States. ;Vote, how do you suppose that bill I passed 1t put the whole purse and ,:cord into the absolute power of the Pres ident of the United States. Clay, Web ster, and Calhoun—men perhaps inferior to the )3olons of our day [laug'iter ,]— were members of the Senate. The bill passed the Senate, and these three states men—although all violently opposed per eonally and politically to the then Presi dent of the United States-:--voted for the bill, and it passed the Senate unanimous ly. [Applause.] It passed the house of Representatives, after a full discus sion, by a vote 201 to 6, and the Ida ! der of that six was Henry A. Wise I [hisses], the bold brigadier who dis tinggished himself so greatly at Nag's Head [laugliter], while his brigade was fighting and his son dying. [Ap plause.] Now, let us see whether the Demo cracy of our day was alarmed at this union of the purse and the sword, and in the first place, let us see how the po litical opponents of the Administration treated it. Governor Seward was then Governor of' the State of New York, having been elected in 1838, and a po litical opponent of the President. Qn the 7th of March be communicated this net to the Legislature, with, a most - praiseworthy message,concludinethus: " I respectfully call your attention to this subject, with the expectation that an expression on our part of concur rence in the policy of the General Ge vernmerit will contribute to avert the calamities of war, and cause a speedy and honorable adjustment of the difil oulties between this country and Great Britain." Mr. Isaac L. Varian was then chairman of the Democratic Gen eral Committee, and Mr. Elijah P. Purdy was ono of the, seeretaries.— They called a meeting of the democrats of this city, and over that meeting'Mr. Holmes presided, and for vice presi dents were men whose names, when read to any Democrat, will bring back associations of great interest, and per haps of some sadness, unless ho suppo ses that-tho prominent Democrats in the city now are more'respectable than those whose names I will read. The vice presidents were Henry Yates. Walter Bowno, Samuel Tappan. Myn dolt Van Schaiek,' Gideon Tucker, AlMtham Van Nest; and they resolved, not that there was danger in the union of the parse and the sword—not that it was a usurpation,—but that it was a prompt and patriotic measure on the part of the House of Representatives. (Loud cheers.) Let us see how it was received by the electors. It was on the 2d and 3d days of as I have stated to you. *Rio election in New Hampshire came on then, as it will now within a few days, after the ad journment of Congress; and New Hampshire, which had been somewhat equally divided, gave, 7,000 majority. for the Democratic ticket. I shall be pleased if my Democratic friends find it gives a largo majority now. (Cheers and laughter.) The city of New York, by a defection in the conservative por tion of the democracy, had been thrown into the hands of what was then called the Whigs. The city election almost immediately followed, and the city was recovered. Isaac L. Varian was elect ed Maym' by a thousand majority, and twelve out of seventeen wards gave Democratic majorities immediately after this extraordinary usurpation. AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT.-A letter from near Vicksburg to the New York TVorld says, in speaking of the canal Three thousand contrabands aro to be placed to work to-morrow, besides the soldiers now digging. On this subject I am reminded that, while there is some talk through the camp of disaffection among certain portions of our army, at the employment of Degrees in military duty, we discover nothing of that sort hero. On •the contrary, our men seem quite conten ted to leave the whole of the labor, honor, and privilege of excavating to the darkies, who, on their part spent by their actions to say that 'they had as lief leave the glorious work and its emohtments,to their whiter "brothreu." The malaria, the fevers, the food, and the languor of a sultry, moist climate, have taken all such notions on of their heads, and unless there should be some great change in the system ore long, we shall fipd ourselves loft with little else but blacks with which to Wife Vicksburg.

E. BURNSIDE, Maj.-Gonl. The• Operations. Against 'Vicksburg. The following description of engi neering- operations against Vicksburg will be found of interest : Yazoo PASS.— The Yazoo 'Pass is a strait twenty miles in length, connec ting the Mississippi with the Cold Wa ter river, of Northern Mississippi riv or, seven miles below 1.1.61eaa: ' It is it very narrow and crooked pasS, thoiigh quite deep. In former years trading 'boats were scuts-tented to push thnou"h„, here in the ; winter -season, When tho water teas high, and ply their vocation through the summer on the System - of rivers with which-the pass connects. But,in 1856, an act was passed bi- the Legislature of Mississippi- ,clysing the pass, on account of tbe, annual in tindation it caused thrthighout the lovi% : lands of the northern pat t•of the State, and a heavy levee: was •constructod across it, parallel with the Mississippi. This levee has now been put_by our troops, and, as the water in the Missis sippi' is very high, it flows throifgh the pass in a perfect, torrent. Back of the levee, and to the lower end of the pass, the enemy, on learning our intentions, attempted to obstruct the stream by filling it With logs, trees, arid all man ner of obstacles. - Our. troops have been employed in removing these ob stacles, and have succeeded in getting to the end of the pass, but some pediments still exist, in the upper end -of the Goldwater river. The ” Coldwater - is quite a' Small stream, scarcely navigable for- steam boats. From the mouth of' the -Pass down to the Coldwater, or its junction with the Little Tallahatchie, is thirty Tho Coldwater and the Little Tallahatchie rivers, joining, form - the Big Tallahatchie. •' This is a naviga ble river, ono hundred and fifty. Milos in longtb. In them unites with the waters of the Yallabusha river, forming tho Yaz'oe'river; The Yazoo river is two hundred and. twenty miles long to its junction with the Mississippi.— Thus the total distance,to be traversed in going by this route from the bead of the Pass to Vicksburg is four bun deed and sixty miles; In this distance the'enemy - has for tifications at the junctions of the Big Tallahatchie and the Yallabusha riv ers, at Yazoo city, onedmmired miles above the mouth of the Yazoo river, and at Haines' Bluff's, near' Vicksburg. It is probable that the solo object of the expedition is to got a force into the rear of Haines' Bluffs, to accom : plish which wo have only to fight by the fortifications at the mouth of the Yallabusha and at Yaioo city. Our iron clad gunboats—those - of' them do ; tailed for this expedition—will hardly find any "trouble in_ reducing any works the, enemy may have at thc§o localities.
