The face of the father appeared troubled; at times he looked thoughtfully on the floor, and then he would gaze long and wist fully at his son, a fine, manly youth of twenty. At langht he said: "David, this is diastrous news from Camden. God knows what will be come of the country now! Congress needs every arm that is capable—ahl me. 1 wish this old wound that I got in the French war bad not lammed me,—but for it, I should now be should ering my Musket, and marching to defend my country." Both the son and the wife looked up at these words. The old lady ceas ed knitting, and gazed inquiringly at her boy, and it was evident from, the expression of her face, that patriot ism and motherly affection were at variance in her bosom. The son, how ever, after encountering his father's eye for a moment, turned confusedly away. The old man's brow darken ed, and he said warmly: - "David, David, why do you linger about the village when your country needs your services so much? Why, son, 1 am ashamed of you! TiVice before have I spoken to you upon this subject, but you appear to have no spirit! What, will you see us trath. pie upon by the mercenaries of Bri. tain, and still lie hero supinely? For shame, David—for shame! 1 will not call you my son. Long since you ought to have been in the army." "Joshua, Joshua," interposed the old mother, "David is but a youth, -then du not•speak to him so harshly. Ho cannot feel whatyou feel,who'have fought so often against our country's enemies. Joshua, he is but a boy." "A boy indeed, Deborah! such boys as David have alreadl` gained imper ishable laurels• since the war com menced. I could name a host of them I—why, were it not for the boys of this land, where would be our ar my, which I dare say is composed of boys of David's agel" The old man was excited, and - it was the first un kind word that be ever used to his boy. David rose and left the house. He walked some distance apparently in. deep thought.. "What will not woman do!" lie at length said : "hero I have been lin gering about the village when I should have been off long ago. And for what? why to meet a pretty girl and listen to her musical voice:; but now I .will be myself again. What did he call me F , —was it not a coward ? Now, by Heaven, I will learn him that be has a son who possesses the spirit of his father. Away then with love, for I feel that I am called upon to'act, and no longer dream. Ere a fort night my father shall hear of me, or else I lose my life in striving for it." And with this resolution ho turned about and retraced his steps. When ho reached home he sought the stables, saddled his horse, and mounting him, struck into a gallop, which continued for several miles.— At length he stopped and looked up to the windows of a farm house half hid between clustering:trees. This was the residence of Mary Bunker, the mistress of his heart; the lights showed that the family had not yet retired, and he resolved to pay her• a visit before -his departure. - She was alone when be entered, and • a few words acquainted her of his determi tion.. She burst.into tears. - • "Nay, Mary," he said, "you must not unman me. At first I resolved to leave you without a farewell, for 1 knew how you dread my taking part in this struggle. But leould not be so Cruel as to desert you without a word." "1 will compose myself," said the fair girl with an effort to smile. "I know 1 have been wrong to pursued° you to stay, but you cannot imagine the anxiety I suffer. on account of my brothers, and I could not bear tohave you too, encountertheirdanger. But since this dreadful defeat at Camden, I feel that every man is wanted by our country. Go, then, dearest and God be with you. fly prayers shall at tend you night and day." ys • t „.A 41 • s Duvet prviPrru 141 c weep ing to his bosom, snatched a hasty kiss at the sound of approaching footsteps, wrung her hand and was gone. The next day he left the neighbor hood of his father's house; - armed with a musket, and mounted on a sturdy horse. His destination - was the American camp, then far to the northward, but as the intervening country was filled with the enemy, he knew thera would be considerable ad dress required to effect his purpose.— Before his departure, he saw a few of his old playmates, who promised to follow him as soon' asr possible. Night found him near 'a lonely farm house, to which he proceeded boldly in search of lodgings. At first the occupant received him coldly, but a Chance expression Convinced David that his host was.alory ; ,he affected the same political creed, and was im mediately warmly welcomed. The royalist produced his cider after sup. per, and Insisted that David should join him in his potations ,• this the young man did, taking care, howev er' not to indulge too freely; while the farmer overjoyed to find what he supposed a new recruit for his party, drank without atint, and became more and moracommanicative. To his hor ror, David scion learned that a party orroyalista,ted,by it Major 'Wilson, celebrated for his toryism, was to start early the ensuing day, on an ex pedition to seize and hang the two Bunkers, who had made themselves particularly obnoxious to the royalist leaders. David knew enough of this partizan warfare to be assured that no mercy would be shown to his friends; be knew enough of the char acter of the Major to suspect that some strong personal motive had led to the planning of so distant an ex pedition, where there were others as inviting nearer home. Heaccording ly set himself to discover from his in ebriated companion the truth. It was not long before success crowned his adroit cross examination. • "Why, you see," said his host, "I believe there's a little revenge for a slight received from these fellows' sister, mixed up with the Major's de sire to catch the Bankers. Thegirl is very pretty, - _ they say, and the Ma jor, when. shewas down here on a visit last year—before the war got so bloody—wanted to marry her, but she would have nothing to say to him. Ever since he has' vowed to make her rue the day. You may de pend upon it, he will have her on his own terms now—thank heaven! there's no law any longer to prevent an hon est loyalist iron] . doing what he plea ses to these rascally rebels. But yon. der is the Major—now," suddenly said his host starting up, "I'll introduce you to hirn at once—a merry fellow you will find him—Lord love you! he's as brave as a lion." David though horrified at the dia bolical plot he had heard, saw the necessity of dissembling in order to learn farther of the tories' plans, if possible, to circumvent them. He arose, therefore, and shook the Ma jor's hand warmly, pledged him im mediately in a brimbr ; and soon con trived to make the loyalist believe that he was anxiots to join a troop and take part against the rebels.— This induced the Major to be unusual. ly civil, for he wished, to Secure so athletic a recruit himself. It was not long before a bargfiin had been con eluded between the two. David re fused, however, to sign the agree ment that night; ,be pretended that several others of his friends were die affected and his object, he said, was to secure a commissilm for himself by in ducing them to join. This tempting bait took; the Major promised him a command of his troops in case of suc cess, and David signified his inten tion of setting, forth after he had ta ken a few hours rest, in order to lose no time in gathering together his re cruits. The dread of discovery had been before our hero during the manage. ment of his negotiation, for his per. son was well known to many of the Major's troop, and if any of them had come up, his feigned name would not have protected him from detection:— Ile wished to get off that night as he had proposed, but to this, neither his host nor the Major would hear, and he was forced to remain till morning. What was his anguish to hear on ris ing, that the Major had gone,some hours and was already on his.way to the Bunkers with his troops. Dissem bling his anxiety, David partook, of a hasty breakfast; and mounting his horse rode slowly away. But when out of sight of the house he struck into a fierce gallop, which he contin. ued till he came in sight of a cross road, where was a tavern. Here he stopped, and learning that the loyal ist had taken the high road, he turned into a more narrow and more circuit ous one. "It's my oily possible chance to avoid them," he said, again dashing into a gallop. "Pray God, I may reach the settlement in time to eel. beet a few of our lads and march to Bunker's. There is no other hope now left." Night had fallen, as they expected, before the tories were able to reach the vicinity of the house- they were in search of. At length, however, after a silent march through the woods, it broke upon, their view. A light was burning in one of the win drws, and when they arrived close to the premises, the lively- notes of a vi olin reached their ears, proving that the brothers were not aware of their presence, but enjoying themselves in imagined security. "Now, men," whispered the leader of the tofies, "when.l give the word, fire a volley at the house by way of introducing ourselves; we will then surround the house and enter it."-- 7 At this instant the deep bay of a dog' rung in their ears, and a large, mas tiff sprung from under the house and, rushed at the Major. 'Fire," he cried. Twenty guns broke the stillness of the night—the dog fell dead—every pane of glass in front of the house was shivered, and the tories, yelled like savages. In an instant the light in the house was extinguished—the violin quickly ceased—and a noise was heard at the door. The tories immediately made a rush at it. But it was already barred, and being made of stout oak plank, resisted all their efforts. A rifle crack from one of the upper windows, and one of the' tortes fell desperately wounded.' An other report succeeded, and another' tory fell, and Major Wilson was now' fully aware that both Bunkers were at home and wide awake. A. shed turned the - ran from the front of the house and underneath this the tories shielded themselves from the fire of the Bunkera and went'to work at the door. Suspect ing such resibfance—perhaps from, knowledge of.their character—one of',' them baol brought an afte;*lttiVrhiCh he commenced hewing' at the taws: and soon . cut it to pieces. Here a desperate' battle ensued. The two brothers were powerful men, and courageous as they were strong; and now, with clubbed rifles they disputed the passage of the whole tory force. The door being small they stood their ground for half an hour, felling dur ing that. time some of those who had the temerity to enter first, but finally numbers overcame them, and they were•flung upon the floor and bound. The tories inflamed to madness at the great, resistance which had been made and at their own loss, now seized the mother and sister, and made prepara tionslo hang the two brothers before their ,yes. The ropeß were already tied atound the necks of the victims, when the Major - addressed his men. "Now, friends, as soon as these rib lains are dead, we will set fire to this house4-the old woman there," be said with .a'Scornful laugh, "may be left inside, but the younger ono I reserve for myself." "Hist 1" cried one of the men in a loud voice. The Major ceased, and they heard a voice outside of the house. Although the words were spoken low, the listeners distinctly heard 'when I say fire give it to them!' A than with' a blanched cheek now rushed among them exclaiming, "the yard is full of men !" . • "Fire 1" cried a deep voice from the yard; a general volley succeeded, and 80 well had the aim been directed in. the door, that several of the tories fell dead or desperately wounded.— In turn, the tories retreated up stairs when David our hero, rushed into the room which they. had just left, and cut the ropes which bound the Bun. kers and their mother and sister. "May Prod Almighty bless you for this !" cried one of the Bunkers.-- The two men sprung up and seized their rifles, which had been left in the room, and prepared to retaliate the treatment they bad just received. Long and desperate was the battle. The tories fought for life; the Whigs for revenge. But at length the latter triumphed, though not , until their en emies had been almost wholly exter minated. The Major fell by the arm of our hero, who sought him out in the hottest of the fight, and engaged him single handed. No language of ours can express the emotion of David as -he pressed his betrothed to..his bosom, and his heart went up in thankfulness to Heaven for his timely arrival, when ho thought that a delay of half an hour would have consigned her to a worse fate than death. The gratitude of her brothers was expressed in ma ny kind words but her's was silent and-tearful, yet oh I how much more gratifying. "I almost called you a coward, son David," said his father to him, when they met, "but you aro a chip of the old block, and I did you wrong. De borah, he is a boy to be proud of, is he not ? You may founder one of my horses every day that you do such a deed—it beats anything I saw in the old French war." David's gallantry in this act drew around him in a few weeks more than a score of hardy young followers, who fought with 'him to the close of the war when he returned and was hap pily married to the heroine of our story IIirTER OF GEN. BUTLEt. Iltrangraiwor ntiurnta:NT at VIZOOM, FOUR= Moms, July , l a 0,1861. "Hon. Simon Catmeron, Secretary of War—Slat By an order received on the morning of the 26th July, from Major Glen. Dix; by a telegraphic order from Lieuten ant General Scott, I was commanded to forward, of the troops of this Department, four regiments and a half, including Colo nel Baker's California regiment, to 'Wash ingt On via Baltimore. This order reached me at 2 o'clock A. M., by special boat from Baltimore. Believing that it emanated because of some pestling exigency for the defence of Washington, I issued my orders before daybreak'for the embarkation of the troops, sending those who were among my very best regiments I had. In the course of the following day they were all embark ed for Baltimore with the exception of some 400 for whom I had not transperta tion, although I had all the transport force in the hands of the Quartermaster here, to aid the Bay line of steamers, which, by the same order from the Lieutenant General was directed to furnish transportation. Up to and at the time of the order, I had been preparing for an advance movement by which I hoped to cripple the resources of the enemy at Yorktown, and especially by seizing a large quantity of negroes who were being pressed into their service in building the intrenchments there. I had five, days previously been enabled to mount for the 'first time, the first company of Light Artillery which I had been empow ered to raise, and they had but a. single ri-, fled cannon, an iron six, pounder. Of course, everythingmust and did yield to the supposed exigency and tbe orders:— This ordering away thsseltroops-from this depaitineut, while it weakened the posts at Newport News, necessitated the with drawal of the troops from Hampton,where i was then throwing up intrenched works to enable me to hold the town with a small force, while I advanced tip the York or Jamei river. ~In the village of Hampton there were a lave number of negroes, corn posed in "a great measure of women and children of men who had fled thither within my lines for protection, who had es- , cape. from marauding parties of rebels who bad been gathering up able-bodied blacks to. aid' them in. constructing their batteries on the'Jamee and. York rivers. I had employed the men in .Hampton in Ott** up intrenchments, and they were working zealdusly and efficiently at that duty, saving our soldiers from that labor under the gleam of the mid-day sun. The women were earning substantially their own subsistence in washing, rnarketing,and taking care of the clothes of the soldiers, and rations were being , served out. to the men who worked kir the suppoit or the children. But by the etithuition °Many ton, rendered necessary by the withdrawal of.troops, leaving me scarcely 5,000 men outside the' Fort, including the fOrpe at Newport *News, all these* black people were obliged to break up their hotneaat 'WHOLE NO. 684. Hampton, seeing across the creek within my lines for protection and support. In deed, it was a most distressing sight, to see these poor creatures, who had trusted to the protection of the arms of the United States, and who aided the troops of -the United States in their enterprise,to be thus obliged to flee from their homes, and the homes of their masters, who had deserted them, and become aot fugitives from fear of the return of the rebel soldiery, who had threatened to shoot the men who had wrought for us, and to carry off the women, who had served us toe worse than Egyp tian bondage. I have, therefore,uow with in the Peninsula, this side of Hampton Creek, 900 negroes, 300 of whom are able bodid men,- 30 of whom are men substan tially past hard labor, 175 women, 225 chil dren under the age of 10 years, and 170 between 10 and 13 years, and many more coming in. The questions which this state of facts present are very embarrassing. "First—What shall be done with them? and Second—What is their state and con dition? "HpOn,‘h, cm questions I desire the in structions of the Department. "The first •question, however. may per haps be answered by considering the last. Are these men.women and children slaves? Are they free ? is their condition- that of men, women and children, or of property, or is it a mixed relation? What their sta tus was under the Constitution and laws we all know. What has been the effect of rebellion and a state of war upon that sta tus 1' When I adopted the theory of treat ing the able-bodied negro fit to work in the trenches, as property liable to be used in aid of tebellion, and so contraband of war, that•condition of things was in so far met as I then and still believe, on a - legal and constitutional basis. But uow a new aeries of questions arise. Passing by wo men, the children certainly cannot be treat ed on that basis ; if property, they must be considered the incumba ance,rather than the auxiliary of an army, and, of course, in no possible legal relation, - could be treated as contraband. Are they property. If they were so they have been left by their masters and owners, deserted,thrown away. abandoned, like the wrecked vessel upon the ocean. Their former possessors and owners have caneelessly, truitoronsly, re belliously,and to carry out the llgure,prac- Deafly abandoned them to be swallowed up by the Winter storm of starvation. If property do they not become the property of the salvors '1 but we, their salvors, do not need and will not hold such property and will assume no such ownership ; has not therefore all proprietary relation ceased ? Have they not become thereupon men, women and children ? No longetun der ownership of any kind, the fearful re licts of fugitive masters, have they not, by their masters' acts, and the state of war, assumed the condition, which we hold to be the normal one, of those made in Hod's image? Is not every constitutional, legal, and moral requirement, as well to the run away master as their relinquished slaves, thus answered ? I confess that my own mind is compelled, by this reasoning, to look upon them as men and women. If not free born, yet free, manumitted, sent forth from the hand that held them never to be reclaimed. • "Of course if this reasoning thus imper fectly set forth la correct, my duty as a humane man is very plain. I should take the same care of these men, women and children, houseless, homeless and unprovi ded for, as L would of the same number of men, women and children who, for their attachment to the Uuion, bad been driven or allowed to flee from the Confederate States. I should have no doubt on this question, bad I not seen it stated that an order had been issued by General McDow ell In his department, substantially forbid ding all fugitive slaves from coming with in his_linesoor being harbored there. is that Order to be enforced in all Military Departments ? If so, who are to be con sidered fugitive slaves ? Is a slave to be considered fugitive whose master runs away and leaves him ? Is it forbidden to the Wept to aid or harbor within tbeir lines the, negro children who are found therein, or is the soldier, when his march has destroyed their means of subsistence, to allow them to starve because be bus driven off the rebel master ? Nor shall the commander of the regiment or batta lion sit in judgment upon the question,whe thee any given black man has fled from his master, or his master fled from him ? In deed, how are the free born to be distin guished ? Is any one more or less a fugi tive'shive because he has labored upon the rebel entrenchments ? It he has so la bored, as I understand it, he is to be har bored. By the reception of which are the rebels most to be distressed, by taking those who have wrought all their rebel masters desired, masked their batte4, or those who have refused to labor and left the battery unmasked? " I have very decided opinion, upon the subject of this order. It does not become me to criticise it, and I write in no spirit of criticism, but simply to explain the full difficulties that surround the enforcing it. If the enforcement of that order becomes the policy , of the Government, I, as a sol dier, shall be bound to enforce it steadily, if not cheerfully. But if left to my own discretion, as you may have gathered from my reasoning, I should take a widely diffe rent course front that which it indicates, "In a loyal State I would put dovin a servile insurrection.. In a state of rebel lion I would confiscate that which was used to oppose, and take all that property, which constituted the wealth of that State,. and furnished the means . by which the war is prosecuted, beside' being the cause of the war; and if, in sci doing, it should be objected that human; beings were - -brought to the free enjoyment ,of life; liberty and the Pursuit of happiness, such objection might not require much consideration. " Pardon me for addressing the Secre tary of War dire:AV upon this question, as it involves some political considerations as well as propriety of military action.

John- Forsyth, of Mobile, Atabatrut "Emote, unfriended, melancholy, elm* it long since I hare used my pen many length on the putdie questlottiost-the-near with pain., Ile is a brute who cannot or does not sympathise with the sufferings of the people on both sides in this sod struggle. Sympathy with your cause is another matter. I little thought when we met at Cincinnati Ie IBSG, after more than a quarter of a century of separation, and exchanged mutual reminiecenees of our happy days at uld Nassau, and of the bin tory and fats of our college comparLione, that within so short a period thereafter, if we met et gain, it would not be as friends, but as foes.-.. Why is it so, or at least what seem to sue to bat some of the leading reasons, I propose to consid er in this letter. I think I know something of this' immediate causes which led to the temporay ores-, throw of the Democracy, and if your rebellion' succeeds, (as it may to your own. confusion,) to' the partial destruction of the best, wisest and fres. est Government ever devised by the wit of man. Quaeque Ipso mbierrinta vial, Et quorum pars magus fist. I publish this with the dope it may meet your eye, and I will take such measures as I can that it does so. Should it not, I trust it will never theless not be written in vain. To get at the real reasons of your rebellion tff is necessary to examine your pretexts. And' first, yen claim absolute sovereignty for your and every State. This is the foundation of the , Secession doctrine. It is not even plausible. It I absurd. I will demonstrate It to be so. The old Confederation, which woe moulded out of the furnace of the Ravolutigj , was str i ct l y it l ews „, or coufederation ; Between sovereign States, Mr. Lincoln the contrary notwithstanding. ito. resembled in its main features the Germanic' Empire sod the Confederation of the Rhine: differed from them in one partieelsr. The seta of its Congress were obeyed or not as the several) States pleased. The decrees• of the Diet of the' Oirmanic Empire were and: ate still mire' to he mlines& by the bayonets of Mattis end Piwesin, - when agreeable to those powers, just as that* of the Confederation of the Rhine were executed by the cannon of Napoleon when they stilted Our States carried into effect the act of Congress when it suited- their ounvenleace Or Interest., and not otherwise. There was no real power to enforce them The great men who had weather ed the stormof civil commotion, saw the help lessness of the Government at him. and its in. significance abroxeli They called the Convention of 1787 to remedy this and other evils quite ace plainly proceeding from the weakness of the Government. If the Constitution it formed did not bind these States into a firm and perpetual' anion, only to be severed by the consent of all lawfully expressed, and did not, within Re Hadte,„.- invest the Federal Government with abeeinte-sor. ereiguty, at the same time depriving the &stew thereof, then the profound and wise statesmen 'he formed it, did not comprehend the purpose tot which they notoriously had .assembled. They neither understood their duty nor did it. Cm this be supposed of men, who were mainly bistros, mental in arousing the public mind to the nes cushy of revising their frame of Government P If their imagination could wander so wildly, Its phantasms must yield Ss the plain fact that they all spoke, et wrote fully upon the subject. We have their eign-manual that they well knew what they were about. If you still doubt read the. speeches of Mr: Pinckney and others, in the des hates which ensued when the Conatitution wen• offered to South Carolina for ratineation. If these-. tried patriots did their duty what becomes of the absolute sovereignty of the Seam ? If your pe.- .sition be reshot, Langdon, King, Sherman, Ram. ilton, Livingston, Read, Mad ison,Speight,Franks lin,-Rnaledgs Beldwin, their President, Wash. - iogton, and all their sealous tio.haborers in Gila mighty work, there moseralbled is solemn movers. Gen, not only did not do the very things -they. came together to &Omit did the ,very contrary; This is a logical radical° ad absurdum. Next you claim the right of revolution. It Iw undoubted. Nu one denies it. But in order to justify and maintain .that right talons God and man, your leaders and your people must show a plain WO of insufferable oppression, on the past of the Government from which they have, revolted. Can they, do so f They attempt it La two ways. First, by comparison.. They put their rebellion on the footing of the revolt of the Col mitts from the dominion of Gnat Britain. l - brief reference to those things of which the Col. , Dales complained will show how futile this is.. It is usual to consider the taxon tea as the mediate cause of the American Revolution. It was by no means so. It was really the pretext. The tax was, in fact a reduction of nine penes , on the shilling. The difference was that where as the tax of a shiling on the pound bad previ ously been required to be paid by the Colonial merchants in London at the ware house of the. East India Company, which had the monopoly of the trade the reduced tax of three pears on. the same quantity, was directed by as aft Si Parliament to be paid to- the collectors or the , Colonial ports, to be aecewated fur to the Comps.. uy. The effect of this was to cut of smuggling; which had been extensively carried on with the Dutch and French... The advantages of lawful trade, with a moderate duty, are so great that it cannot be denied that this net of Parliament. ale though made the pretext of the first out-burst of popular fury, was highly beneficial to the Co lonial tinders. Whet really infuriated the peo ple were some thirty sets of Parliament, royal e dicts and charters, leveled directly at the--trade and industry of the Colonies. A few instancee must suffice. The charter of William and Mary whilst securing to Massachusetts vast possessions to the eastward of the boundary line previously disputed, clogged the gift with provisions whielt made it almustkulueless. All pine tree* of the diameter of twenty-four inches at more than a foot frouvtlo • ground wore reserved fur mast' fur she royal navy; and for cutting down any such tree* without special license, (which was only a mode of indirect and unequal taxation, and sometime* a means of favoritism.) the offender forfeited One hundred pounds sterling. As to the nature of the acts of Parliament, I quote from the historical . - Essay prefixed to Mr. Loretto Sabine"s Amadei* Loyalists; "Neither of these laws touched so "much as the .Southwest side of hair' of an 'A "straction,' and hardly one of them until the pas*. "ace of the Stamp act,' imposed a direct tn.+ "They were aimed at the North„andßegland lost 'the affeetious of the mercantile and maritime "classes of the Northern colonies, full a genera "'iota before she alienated the South.

Your turn mane in good time. I could show how. England outraged and. oppressed dm. South. but it is net aIICIOSOry to the argument. It would be worth your study. I think you will admit there was a real and intolerable oppressielr in the systematic legislation I have mentitsamt. There was much more of it before the Remote. tion broke out.
