Gen. Beauregard was well received
in England, in privato circles, but I
do not learn that ho had the slightest
official recognition. But in Franco it
was f.y otherwise. Ho was sent for
by tho Emperor, with whom he had a
long and confidential intorviow at the
Tuilleries, after which ho conversed
with two Ministers of Stsite,M. Itouhcr

he has had and declined the offer to
take tho command of the Roumanian
army. The Emperor Napoleon, in
theso polite attentions to tho Confed

principle of perfect neutrality to ijio
end, and makes nodistinction between
Federal and Confederate, except, per
haps, to troat tho latter br tho con
quered party, with a moro dolicato
consideration. To tho Emperor, Gen

accomplished soldier, of the merit of

Letter from Hon. James W, Wall to
Hon. Montgomery Blair.
Burlington, Juno 25.
Jlon. Montgomery P. lilair :
.My Dear Sir : 1 have this moment
read, with groat interest, j'our Mary-
and speech, which 1 received on Sat
urday last. What surprised mo, how
ever, is that a gentleman of your na
tional proclivities should ever have
hewn no grossly deceived- both as to
tho origin and object of the lute civil
war. lhc same lell agency is visible
at Washington now that was visible
at, the commencement of the struggle.
The fanatical spirits who were there
guiding and directing the etorm arc
guiding and directing the State. The
irescnt trulv alarmmtr condition ol
our public affairs is but the logical
conclusion from the principles taught
so energetically by tbe leaders of the
Republican party from its lirst organ
ization ; nay, they aro the lulhllmcnt
of tho predictions made by tho lound-
crs ot tins Kepublic, should such a
party ever attain ascendancy in this
country.
lou were wont to attribute to those
of us, who sternly opposed tho late
civil war, a lack of patriotism. How
terribly you were mistaken. The
men who could dare the most relent
less persecution, in the shape of illegal
imprisonment, social ostracism, unci
defy even death itself in vindication,
of constitutional principles, and to
save this country front tho evils of j
which you complain in your speech,
you must admit were moro honest and
patriotic than thoso timid and corrupt
men who left our own ranks to attach
themselves to tho Republican party
for mere mercenary purposes. The
opportunities of official favor and plun
der, by means of war contracts, wcio
tendered me, if I would sacrifice my
political principles. I turned my back
upon all such opportunities, preferring
'tho conscience void of offence, to all
the honors and wealth that might bo
found in a base bet rnyal of principle,
and a sacfifice of consistency.
Tho infamous conduct of tho Dis
unionists in Congress and throughout
tho country at this time is vindicating
tho sagacity ot that little band at tho
North, who so sternly and fearlessly
oppossed the lato civil war; and is
confirming the truth ol their allcga- j A "band of diabolical demons" rode
tions as to the mischievous designs ofiup : dismounted ; seized him by the
these confederates against tho Consti-
tution and tho Union. The sober sec
omi thought oi tno great mass oi tho
pcopio who were so ueceivca oy tne
disunion leaders, is beginning to make
itself manifest. They aro rapidly dis
cerning tho real character and motives
of those who so previously LWtriiycd
them, and are determcd to rebuke

that has threatened, nay, is still
threatening us. It was under this hy

was commenced and carried on to its
conclusion. It was under this bold
pretense that great constitutional
principles wero overturned, and the
liberties of men in tho Northern States
struck down by tho hand of arbitrary
power; and it is the same insano de
lusion that would justify themad iegis-
tion that to day keeps eleven States
out of this Union, and is aiming to
centralize tho Government. This "ro

more perfect plan," has already torn
millions of contented slaves from the

A Disunionist never lies by retail.
Ho must do it as ho plundered tho
Government b wholesale or not
at all. Hence w e find an anonymous
"Memphis" letter in a Disunion Chi
cago organ, which overflows with
"vividness." Tho writer saw (in fancy,
of course) "an old man of color, bend
ing under tho weight ot seventy sum
mers ol bondage." He was "quietly
eating an apple," of course theyinVi

- jkneo was placed upon his breast; the
cry was raised "lv ill him, hill him;"
"an Irish villain
struck him in tho
faco with a heavy stick ;" a second
shot him in the abdomen ; a third laid
a crobar over his head : a fourth ham-
Mringcd him ; a fifth "butcher knelt
over his prostrate form and shoved
his knife in his mouth, wrenched his
jaws assundcr, severed histonguo and
cut it out by tho roots," and then his
body was chopped to pieces with
hatchets and kicked, picco meal into
tho gutter.
This we aro told, "was the moat
hellish act of tho rioters except one."
That ono was about a policeman, who
chased a negro into asliantee, but not
succeeding in finding his prey, ho seiz

the shantce, deliberately" (always de
liberately) "cut her eyes out of their
sockets with his pocket knifo" and
then ' fired tho shanteoand threw the
helpless victim in through tho win

ten and twenty years in the business
of in venting "atrocities" and "harrow

dabsters at the business ; though some
time, as in tho foregoing, like care
