Peterson e met, them by the only -power whieb a law and order-loving people can use until Con gress meets—the military force in the hands of the Goyernors of the loyal States.” A cry importan t do we deem this measure for the purpose of supporting whatever of good may l>e found in Genera] Grant. We have, as yet, no confidence in him. But “while the lamp holds out to burn” the narrowest AVcst Pointer may j.o?.cst. Meanwhile, we consider his symptoms very unfavorable. He took the Sec retaryship in a mean way. Brother Republican, as it is said he is with Stanton, the firßt notice Stanton had of his action was his note announcing that he had “accepted” the War Department All these stories, set afloat by Grant’s lackeys, that he “conferred with Stanton;” “that they understood each other; ” “Grant’s taking of the office was a matter ar ranged between him and Stanton”—are pure lies. Stanton knew no more than one of ns does of any intention of Grant, nntil in a formal manner, he received the General’s official note. This wa3 . disloyalty to party, if Grant be really a Re publican, and more than that, it was playing into the President’s hands. It was siding with John son agaiDst Stanton, and facilitating Johnson’s wish to get rid of the War Secretary. This is a very bad symptom. Another is, he backs down on every point and contents himself with wordy protests,when justice to himself, his office, and the country, demands that he sbodld resign, rouse the nation, and stand ready, with the army behind him an’d within reach, to protect Congress. Another fatal sjmptom is, Seward and Weed are praising him. Rotten with political and every other corruption, disloyal in everything but the name—these men’s eulogy is enough to wreck a firmer repute than Grant ever had. If he is an honest man, a Radical, and skilled in protests, let us hear him protest against AVeed. AVe shall pin more faith on one such protest than on a dozen empty grumbles against a Johnson order which he proceeds to execute. J While these symptoms last we despair of Grant, but never of the Republic. Tlie President's I>roclamatlen— Orders from tlie Navy Department and War Office.. The following orders were issued by Secretary/ Welles, to accompany a copy of the President's last proclamation, to be given to each officer and clerk in the Department: C.EXERAI. ORDER,—XO. 8:!. Navy Department. Sept. 10. 1807—A pro clamation issued by the President on the :id day of Sentcmber, 1807, is by his direction herewith transmitted, warning all persons against ob structing or hindering in any manner whatso ever the faithful execution of the constitution and the laws, and enjoining and commanding all officers of the government, civil and military, to. rendei duo submission to the laws and to the judgments and decrees of tho courts ol the United States, and to give all the aid in their power necessary to the promptenforcement and execution ol such iaw6, decrees, judgments and processes, and especially enjoining upon the officers of the army and navy to assist and sus tain the courts and other civil authorities of the l nited States Sn a talthful administration of the Jaws. . The orders and requirements of the proclamation, and the exhortation of the President to all well-disposed citizens to testify their devotion to their country, their pride Jn its prosperity and greatness and their de i i urination. to uphold its free institutions bv a hearty cooperation in the efforts of the govern ment to sustain the authority of the law, to main tain the supremacy of the federal constitution and to preserve unimpaired the integrity of the national l nion, will, the Department feels confi dent, command the support and receive a willing and hearty response from every one connected with tlie Department and the naval service. Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Navy. The following is substantially the order of Gen eral Grant, which will be furnished to all tne offi cers of the army and employes-of the YVar Depar ment, together with a copy of the President’s proclamation: The following proclamation from the Presi dent of the United States Is published for the in formation and guidance of all concerned. Black asuHl .[Washington correspondence of New York Tribune.] An eltort Is now being made here by Jerry Black to have the President pardon one W. B. N. Cozzens, who was convicted during the latter part of the war of swindling the Goyernment out of sovcrnl hundred thousand dollars. Cozzens was a large army contractor in Philadelphia during the war, and was charged with defrauding the Government in the manufacturing of tents and clothing for the army, -was tried on this charge by the Doubleday .Court martial, foundguilty; and sentenced to imprison ment and line. For some reason that has never been made public, no action was ever taken on tjupproceedings of the Courtrinartial by the War Department, and the sentence of imprisonment was never carried into effect. Before the trial began, however, Cozzens’s bondman was bo con vinced of bis guilt' that he voluntarily paidjto the Government the amoliut for which he was liable. A large portion of the money, as was alleged, was stolen from the Government by Coz zens, was recovered by the Government by can celing a number of Oozzens’s vouchers on the Government. Cogzens is now seekiug to have this money refunded to him, and the fine im posed by the* court-martial remitted, and the whole thing sottled by a full pardon. Black has been trying for n long time to get Cozzens par doned. Judge Holt ail along has refused to re commend a pardon, and this, is one reason of the efforts ol lobby men here to have Holt removed. —“Titeoiiib ’ llolhtud is going abroad for two years. OUR WHOIiE COUNTRY. Wendell Phillies, Intercessor# WETTER FHOId M. JKfF.THOiIIPSOrt, Xhe Lemviit off the War-Tbe Only Mope off the South. Gen. Jeff. Thompson has addressed the follow ing circnlar letter to those who were nndei 1 his command during the late war: Boston. Maw., Sept, it — Gentlemen : l have re ceived various letters from among you, asking what I mean by my letter to Mr. Prentice of The whit endorsing (Jen. Longstreec ? and what adt ice I have to bfferyoa as to your Pi° „ cou r 3e . ? I have delayed answering these letters, m hopes that I would soon, return to New Orleans; but, finding that I cannot return for several weeks, and other tetters having come that wIH brook no delay I have determined to address you a circular, that I- may no- longer be misrepresented and misunderstood among those whowersmy true friends in our darkest hours, ana with whom I have shared so many hardships and dangers, successes and defeats. One of the letters received contains the gist of ail, and I will answer it; it says: “Lpngstreet in forever damped throughout the country which 4* e theatre of his immortality, and your old friends are not reserved in their anathemas against you,-Glve me some argument with which to defepd yon, for X am too well acquainted with the spirit which animated yon in our disastrous ? ,ru KSw; with your cheerful endurance of sufler lpg and your persistent fealty to the last; to be ,lieve that you have abandoned your devoted followers, or have relinquished the principles or memories of the past.” 1 For Godlssake what has Longstreet done to damn him/ for what am I anathematized:- from | what do I need defence? Hie war produced no purer or braver man than General James Long street, and surely from the first to the last I have proved myself to be faithful and true, and I defy any mani to point to one word or sentence in my letter to Mr. Prentice that breathes a want of love for our people, or to a fact stated that cannot be I am aware that some scribblers have assailed me, bnt “they belong to the Tray, Blancho and Sweetheart order, who simplvvobey tlic instincts of their own nature, by barkiiig at what they do not understand,” but X am loth to believe that any tried soldier will doubt an other s honesty beenuse he mav difler with him in the plans to accomplish the general good, and I have an abiding faith that they will let anv comrade have the privilege to exercise his own judgment as. to manner tfr build up the country without being anathematized, and I who was a leader in the beginning and a fol lower at the end, and who, during the whole straggle, was with you at the front, or a prisoner 04 war, will positively assert and manfully maintain my riglit to express my opinions freely upon all subjects affecting the welfare of the South to and among Southrons, without fear or favor from chimerical theorists or bomb-prool politi cians. If the war was to defend the South in the exer cise of its belief of the right to secede, then ido not regret the fight, though I may have to grieve over the death of this theory. If the war was to preserve African Slavery, then I do not regret the 1 130 over the loss of $4,(KH),000,000 !worth of property, and the sad fate that awaits the poor negro; but if we fought four years simply for the personal triumph of some political partisans, a few of whom would make us believe that the country is rained only because they are excluded from oflice, then 1 Bmcerely regret the conflict, and will grieve anew over the graves of the brave men who fell around me. I must Again repeat that “I did not fight the Lnited States because I hated the United States. Ididnot fight fhe North because I hated the North, ’but I fought for what I conceived to be the honor, the sanity, and the material interests of the Southern people,and lam struggling now, m another way, to accomplish the same object, and I will make as many sacrifices, and labor as earnestly and persistently as-any man in the South to control the political elements, to devise plans and projects, and put in successful opera tion enterprises that will build up ourpoor, deso lated and impoverished country. This is what the South really needs; this is all the truly pa triotic men of the North ask; and I will advocate the best plana, in my judgment to accomplish the object, regardless of who originates or sup ports them, Whigs, Democrats, Federals, Repub licans, Radicals, Conservatives, or Eclectics. This is all the defence I need. Tell the people I am still for the honor, safety and material pros perity of the South, and while I will not case a shadow on the graves of our dead, or extinguish one ray Of the glory of our manly struggle, yet I must bid the living 100 k to the future, and help' build up our common country from'the Atlau tic to the Pacific, from the Lakes to the Gull". All now agree that, bv right of revolution, our States were out of the Federal Union, and our Government was a dejucto Government; there -1 ore, if our conquerors think that safety or justice requires that the conditions upon which these States may be. re-admitted into the Union shall be that our leaders in the field and prominent statesmen must be denied the right to vote or bold office, and also that political equality must be extended to the negro, though we may know tins to be grievously mistakeif statesmanship, yet we must accept these terms or do worse, for we cannot,* tay out or stop the march of events, as the power is still in the hands of our political enemies. A lew years will demonstrate the wisdom or fal lacy of tlifcir theories, and during this probation we should work to build up our broken fortunes, and prove ourselves worthy to be trusted; there fore, I advise you not to mope over the past, but remember our “Lost Cause” only as the widowed husband remembers his lost bride when he looks upon his motherless children, accept all political privileges that may beogfahted" "you,"' and ' then," without being actuated by hatred or revenge (neither of which are soldieriv sentiments), strive manfully lor the true, interests of your State and country, by working to develop her resources and increase her wealth. • Sbpuld you differ with others as to the best plans to accomplish these objects, still be friefids 1 aud eolaborera in one Common Cause, which now should be, as it once was, th&greatness and glory of the whole United States. This is what f told you at our surrender at Jackaonport, in June, . 18i>5—this is the substance of my letter to Mr. Prentice—and I urge it upon you now; and if for tills I am to be anathematized, let the dogs bark until time shall prove that I have been ever and always your friend, M. Jiut. Tim. mi-sox. OBITUARY. THe Kev. Thomas House Taylor, I). 11, The Rev. Thomas House Taylor, D. D., for thirty-three years Rector of Grace Church in New York, died at his country residence at West Park, on the Hudson, on Monday night. Dr. Taylor was horn in Georgetown, S. C., October IH, 1700, ana received his collegiate education and theological training jn that State. His earlier years were spent at school at Guilford, Conn. He was inarried in early life to Ann MnnigaulL a descendant of the old Hnguonot families of South Carolina, prominent for patri otism .in.. Pmyuhitkraary, times. . She died * five years ago. Dr. Taylor’s immediate predecessor m the rectorship of Grace Church, to which he Was called in 183-1, was Bishop Wainwright. Dr. Tnylof always held the first place In the affec tions of his people!; He was an eloquent preacher, and as a writer and debater held high rank among iho Episcopal clergy of the country. The late Washington Irving regarded him as tho most graceful thinker in his denomination. He was identified, with .the Row Church, or .Anti-Liturgical party, and in the debates and votes of tho Diocesan Conventions was always bn that side. In the spring ot 18liB his congregation voted him a leave of absence ior a year, and sent him to make tho tour of the Continent for the benefit of his health. His ptilpit during his absence was filled by the Rev. Dr, Morgan, of St; Thomas’s Church. His remains will be interred in Greenwood Cemetery, from Grace Church, on Friday afternoons tho Rev, Dr. Morgan Dix officiating in the ritiul for the dead, and tho vestry of the church acting as pall-beaters, ; ■ 1 from Fwirew ITlonroe, 1 - 10 —The steamship Grenada, Capt, M. B. Crowell, from New York, bound to Charleston, 8. C., arrived here at a late hour last night with the disabled Haytien man-of. war Alexander Potion in tow, her. rudder gone and boilers disabled. The Grenada reported Caving first seen the vessel about sixty miles cast by south of Cape Henry, at 5 o’clock, P. M., on the Mtli Inst., firing guns and with signals of dis tress hoisted. Upon bearing-down to her, Capt. Crowell ascertained her character, and endeav ortd to get a hawser on board to tow her into port, but failed after several ineffectual attempts trom the sea running so high. The Grenada laid bv her all night, and the next morning, the sea navingmoderated, her crew succeeded in placing a hawser aboard the Haytien, but this parted! and another effort was made shortly after, with better success, as both the vessels arrived here safely. The Haytien man-of-war is from Port-au- Prince, bound to New York, for the purpose of undergoing 'extensive repairs, and while making the voyage, was caught in a heavy gaie off the Bermudas on the Ist, and during the storm, which lasted two days, suffered the damages above related. She reported having spoken, on* the Ist lost., the steamship Arizona,.lrom ifew York, bound to Aspinwall, all right. The man-of-war has on board the Admiral of the Haytien navy, a Frenchman by birth, and a crew of one hundred and fifty men. She was anchored at the Quarantine station on arriving*. Dr. Geo. E. Cooper, the Quarantine officer, showed there was no sickness on board, and she was allowed to anchor in the Roads. She will probably be towed-to New York by steamers despatched here for that purpose. The Grenada sailed this morning, at two o'clock, for Charles ton, S. C. . T l' e Baltimore pilot-boat Coqnette reported having boarded the following vessels at Cape l enry, w!m.-U went to sea yesterdav: Brig I£. Houston, ship Bremmerliauser, brig Chesapeake, ling John Brilbok, brig Lcander, brig Bluo nave, the Norwegian bark Skiold, brig Uni corn, schooner Mary E. Staples, brig George. Latimer ship Emile (to Bremen) and bark Seneca. The Prussian bark Baltimore, bound to Balti more, and two foreign brigs, arrived in the Capes to-day and have gone up. The United States frigate Macedonian, Com manders. B. Luce, the flag-ship of the school fleet, which sailed from Annapolis last June on a summer s cruise across the ■ Atlantic, arrived in the Capes to-day, thirty-seven days from Ports mouth, England. ' The frigate Savannah and sloop-of-war Dale, ■which sailed at the Bamc time, have not yet arrived, but are expected to arrive some time this week. The Macedonian anchored in the bay to-night, and will bo towed to Annapolis to-morrow, nhile absent on the cruise the cadets visited Cherbourg,Paris, and Portsmouth, England—the Mediterranean cruise having been unavoidably left out, in consequence of the delay from storms, which prevented an earlier departure from Hampton Hoads. All are well on board the Macedonian. The steamer Sue arrived here to-day from Cris field, the terminus of the Annamessic line of steamers, with a large party of railroad men and capitalists on hoard, seeking investments for capital and new routes for steamboat and railroad enterprise. They visited the eastern shore of the State, and design a continuance of their trip by excursion to The York and -James river in the course of a few days. FItOJI NEW YORK. New Yobk, Sept. 12—The Invincible, which took fire while lying at Roberts’Wall street stores yesterday morning, suddenly drifted over to this side near the foot of Peck slip, where her anchors brought her up. As the fire engines conld notfor some time he brought to bear,on her in this posi tion, she was burned almost to the water's edge. She was subsequently towed down ’to near the Barge Ofhce, where several steam tugs poured streams of water into her, but by this time she was almost de stroyed. The Invincible was one of a line of ships running between New York and Sail Fran cisco, and was owned bv a number of gentle men, Including Messrs. Henry Hastings, Billings, IV coster and Richardson, ol Boston. She was constructed by Mr. Webb, about ten or twelve years since, was of about 1,700 tons burden, and was valued at 475,000 or sloo,ooo. There was no cargo aboard at the time, and it is understood there was an insurance oh the vessel. There were no oilicers immediately connected with her at the time of the fire. Yesterday, Mr. J. C. Thompson, the keeper of ttMbonded warehouses, Nos. 2, 4 and 0 Sedge wiSk street, Brooklyn, was arrested and taken before Comniissioner Newton, at the United States Court, on a charge of being implicated in the removal of twenty .thousand gallons of whisky, which had been placed in ins charge. He was held, to bail in the sum of 420,000. Last evening a mass meeting of the butchers and drovers was held tit the Germania Assembly Rooms. Hon. Fernando Wood addressed the meeting at great length, freely denouncing the legislation at Albany and the Commissioners in the .city. A committee of twenty butchers abd drovers were named to conduct the affairs of the organization. The Royal Insurance bond, robbery case still drags heavily on; but the evidence of the wit nesses is totally devoid of interest. A Masonicjiicnic took place at Jones’s Woods yesterday. The attendance was very large. Xlie Epidemic nt OnlvCkton. The following extract from a private letter from a Northern gentleman" at present residing at Galveston, who, since writing, has been at tacked by yellow fever, but is convalescent, is of interest. The letter is dated August 23: “I must bear testimony to tlic eamost and sincere charity •which hnß marked the conduct of the citizens toward all without distinction. This wide-spread epidemic has developed most god like qualities among the old residents hore.
