every crime that could disgrace human nature.
His attacks upon the vigorous policy of the

•
The Conon Lean.
The "Confederate Cotton Loan" is causbig
the loaders of the Southern insurrection some
trouble. All those charmtni stories we have
beard abonethe self-denial and patriotic devo
tion of the Southern cotton planters seem to be
apocryphal. • The planters love the South well,
but they love the cotton better. Patriotism is
a cheap commodity, gi if it is the last refuge ofa
scoundrel." It is a nice thing to write about,
sing • about, and make speeches about—a
splendid theory, and a pleasing and most
economical idea. But cotton is something
more. It is a substance, and a valuable sub
stance. It brings money and feeds field
hands, neither of which patriotism can do.
We cannot live on patriotism, nor support
large plantations, nor keep a profitable lot of
field-hands. Accordingly, those who have
cotton prefer to hold it for a market, instead
of placing it in the custody of men of ques
tionable character, at an uncertain credit.
This dilatory spirit among the cotton plant
en ie causing the owners of the Southern
Confederacy a great deal of concern. We un
derstand that A. H. STEPIISNO is making ora
tions in Georgia, enjoining upon planters their
duty. Ronan. K. PATros is travelling through
North Alabama obtaining subscriptions, but
with indifferent success, fur, says the Mem
phis .appeal, Not half have subscribed who
ought and will have lo." This style of remon
strance reminds us of the persuasive powers
of Boa ROY, who, when be found the Lowland
tanners tardy about (c subscribing" their cat
tle, sent some of hie Highlanders to remind
them of their duty, and save them from any
further trouble or neglect. A Cotton Conven
tion is now in session at Macon, Georgia, and
the question is being carefully considered.
We predicted, when Mr. Howsim Conn
broached the scheme, that there would be
some difficulty in carrying it into effect, and
the prediction seems about to be verified.
The Patterson-Bonaparte Case.
In this case,'on the first of July, the Impe
rial Court of Paris delivered a judgment, on
hearing of Mrs. Parressosos appeal, that the
nit instituted by herself and son was not le.
gaily maintainable, and that the costs must be
defrayed_by them.
Most probably this ends the cue, though it
certainly deals most harshly with the rights of
the parties, the legal wife and son of the late
Prince JUDIE!! BOZIAPAILTN.
• There was lately a report—one of Barr
ierres canards, we believe—that the Emperor
NareLson was about -recognizing the South.,
era Confederacy, and, to humor its hinging
for Royalty, was disposed to offer the South
jzaoms BONAPAILTZ PATTERSON, of Baltimore,
as their King I Opposing his lawful claims of
legitimate membership in the Imperial family,
..ia,NA.Poratos has persistently done, seems a
- ` left-handed way of helping the Baltimore gen
tleman to a crown and sceptre.
The Impressments in New Orleans
The denial by the Now Orleans Picayune of
Mr. Bussitu's statements in regard to the
impressment of a number of British ,citizens
into the volunteer companies of that city, has
elicited a letter from the 13ritieh consul, Mr.
Muaz, in which the original charge is not
only tally confirmed; but complaints are made
of additional outrages, some of which are of a
peculiarly flagrant character. The desperate
and infamous nature of the active agents In
the present rebellion will soon be fully under
stood everywhere, as the circumstances to
which Mr. MORE alludes cannot fail to arouse
great indignation in England.
A Deserved Compliment.
The House of Representatives, yesterday,
Teased, by a unanimous vote, a resolution
thanking Major General Grozox B. Moan.-
tax, and the officers and men under his com
mand, for the brilliant victories they have
recently achieved in Western Virginia. We
are rejoiced that Congress has thus given an
official 'expression: to the feeling of admiration
and gratitude which pervades the loyal citi
zens of our whole country.
• [1:7" Our telegraphic despatches announce
that more than fifty thoneand loyal, troops are
now concentrated on the southern hank of the
Potomac, opposite Washington, and the ardent
desire of our brave soldiers, which was typi
fied in their music, eg I wish I was in Diale,?
will doubtless soon be gratified by an import
tent advance movement. The country t•wilif
swait with intense anxiety the tidings . of 'dui
great conflict which, may shortly be expected,.
if the insurgents do not seek safety - 1u flight,
bat with no doubt of the result.
Paying for Legal Throaty. •
When Richard of Gloucester, commonly
called o the crook-backed tyrant," exultingly
declared that the worst spite of his enemies
could, not deny that he had the crown, he
exhibited a phase of human .eharactei which
is by no means rare. From immemorial time,
people will leave fine positions in 'order to
grasp at stations there glittering but less per
manent and lucrative. We just have had an
example of this in the elevation of Sir SMILED
BET/IEL, Attorney General of England, to the
office of Lord , Chancellor, with a peerage
which has converted him into Lord Westbury.
Son of a Wiltshire doctor, the ci-dettant
Sir Ricuattro was educated at Oxford Univer
sity; Where he graduated first class in classics,
and second In mathematics, at the early age
of eighteen. Called to the 'bar 'when he was
twenty-three, he was Queen's Counsel at
forty; entered Parliament at the compara
tively mature age of fifty-one; he was made
Solicitor General in the following yeer,
Attorney General in 1866, and - now, on .
Lord, _ Camcnares death, becomes Lord
Chancellor at sixty-one. This is not a
very advanced period of life for an eminent
laiyer to retire, with a fortune made and
saved, and accept the assured dignity, liberal
emoluments, and comparative ease of a seat
on the judicial beach. Bnt why the best
paid as. well as the best informed Chancery
lawyer in England, such as BIETnEL confessed
ly was, should abandon £20,000 a year as At
terney-General, for a rr seat on the Wool
sack," ...with only half that income, and an
equal certainty of losing office whenever his
party were turned out, is the puzzle. When
ever that rr turn out" occurs,.there will Lord
WIEETBUICT be, with a_speck-and-,apan . new
peerage,
.a_life-fieftiton of £5,000 a' year; and,
.no liberty of ever .again practising at the ber',

gaining ground in the House of Commons ;
Lord Parateasron, now not far from 80, may
die, and thereby break up the Government;
the Queen's health may necessitate a Regency,
in which event l'ALMßlitiTolli Ressenk, and
Co. would probably be liberated, by the
young Prince-Regent, from the toils ot office;
or a Parliamentary defeat may again place
Lord DEBBY . in power. By any of these
contingencies, Lord Witrrattax may

Through; the evening conversation (for the
Lords rarely dcYJate), and haunted by the
one regret that; ever, to be hailed as tc My
Lord," and preside over the Peers for a
brief time, (he, the latest-made, knowing
little of the ccrules and order of the
House,") he should have relinquished • his
bar-life, his pleasant circuit-practice, his pro
fitable- special retainers, and the society of
his fellows, the practising barristers. This Is
what he has done.
He has abandoned all former habits, a digni
fled position, some £20,000 a year, and a sort
of political leadership. for an office worth
£lO,OOO ayear, while it lasts, a contingent
pension, and a peerage. He must buckle on
new dignity with his new honors. Brrasx.,
the practising lawyer, could afford to be
merry, to enjoy his bottle of (g bees•wing"
Port wine (we say it under the rose)
. with
other jovial limbs of the law, but Lord Chan
cellor Wssrnuav cannot compromise his sta
tion, as first lay subject of England, next to
its blood-royal, by being familiar, as of yore.
We ,recollect bow, some thirteen years ago,
one Mr. Suns was fined five shillings, on sus
picion of having been rather too much elevated
over night, and bow Surriz turned out to be an
alias for BILTIIT.L. Bat fancy such an accident
happening to the mane Brrazt, converted by
the Queen's patent into my Lord WlrratlllY,
and placed on the Woolsack, mightily be.
'wigged, as Lard Chancellor!
Two years ago, when Lord Darter lest of
fice, Sir RIMARD BETIIIL demanded the
Chancellorship from PAISIZEIBTON, whose At
torney General he previously had been. He
was ref need—partly because, though he en=
tared Parliament rather late in life, he was
one of o:lel:seat debaters on the Ministerial
side, and partly because Lord Joni! -144221. h
inaisted that his relative, Sir Joust
should have the office, while Piiiiits&N
named Byrnat. Lord CAMPBZIL was ap
pointed as a compromise. Lord Gint.aux,
then eighty years old, obtained the office, re
signing the Chief Justiceahip, and BZTHEL
tugged at the oar, in the Ministerial galley, un
til now. His wisdom in accepting a high but
most precarious office may be doubted, but
Lord WYBTBURr, as we must train our pen to
call him, is undeniably the very best lawyer
in England to occupy its highest judicial seat
in the Court of Chancery.
THE PROCLAMATION OP GEN. BILAURZOLED,
denouncing the Northern soldiers as mere
followers of "Beauty and Booty," is still in
the minds of our readers. The angry speeches
of Win, the bloody threats of DAVIS, and the
fierce invectives of WIOPALL, have been print
ed. They show what means are used to in
flame the public mind of the South, and incite
the people of that section to desperation and
revenge. A Northern citizen, lately arrived
from Richmond, in communicating her expe
riences to a New York newspaper, says :
The extravagant language made use of by the
rebel leaders, in their recent speeches and nroola
mstions, seems to have had the desired- effeot, as
nil firmly believed that the Northern troops intend
to set the blacks at liberty, and array them against
their masters, and perpetrate all the other enormi
ties so vividly portrayed by Beasregard in his
lying proclamation."
MoCursoon's recent proclamation US
the people of Arkansas is marked with the ,
same spirit. He speaks about Northern hordes
invading Arkansas, and desolating the homes
of its people, and calla upon the people to
rally and drive them back.
It is necessary that the minds of those
Southern peoPle should be inflamed beibie
they could be induced to consent to the dark
infamies of Secession, and this purpose ant
mates the extravagant manifestoes of their
orators, editors, and generals. Bat this art of
misrepresentation is not a modern acquire
ment. It was used by scoundrels in other
centuries than the Nineteenth. When RIOK -
Lao having usurped the throne of England
by the commission of the most unnatural and
horrible crimes, took the field against the Earl
of RICHMOND, who came to deliver England
from hie odious tyranny, he issued a procla
mation which SHAXSPIARE has given us in
blank verse.. An extract or two will show th e
reeemblancazlietweetathe prodnotiOa of Brag;
ARO and Bea.trazielb;rand may tie considered
an appropriate quotation for the times:
Remember whom you are, to cope Withal:—
A sort of vagabonds, races, and rutt-awaye,
A scum of Bretagnee, and base lackey Peasant.,
Whom their o'er °toyed country vomits forth
To desperate adventures and awned destrisitlon.
You sleeping safe, they bring you to unrest ;
You having lands, and blessed with beauteous
wives,
They would restrain the one, distaffs the other.
And who doth lead them, but a paltry fellow,
Long kept in Bretagne at our mother's cost ;
A mtik-sop, One that never in his life
Felt so muoh cold as overshoes in mow?
Let's whip these stragglers o'er the seas again ;
These famished.beggars, weary of thisirlivam ;
Who, bat for dreaming on this fond exploit,
For want of means, poor rats, had hangei them
- selves.
If we be conquered, let men conquer us."
Ttreatc is a large sprinkling of piety to the
ranks of the Southern insurgents. The
preachers in the South have, in many cases,
degraded their calling to serve the purposes
of treason. A venal pulpit is a great agency
of wickedness, and the pulpit of the South is
a fair illustration of the treason which may be
fostered under the name of Christianity.
Some of the most inflammatory appeals in'
favor of rebellion have been made from the
Southere pulpit, and many of its most despe
rate traitors are in canonicals. Bishop Potar
is a general, and, instead of prow - ling peace
and good will; he practises war and hatred.
w e hear of c lergymen in different parts of the
South who are actively in the field, and ilia not
at all unfrequent for Journals to speak of them
as they do of one Captain Pjrantsron, " who
is a very accomplished artillerist, and a per
fect pattern of the Christian minister."

The Consumption of Coffee an the
United Mateo.
The proposition ofOV Secretary of the
Trea.anry,,to levy an i mpost of five cents per
pound upon 'coffee, will probably be adopted
by Congress, and, as a war measure, will,
doubtless, be cheerfully sustained hy the Ame
rican people. All patriotio citizens feel that
it is a sacred duty to Rapport thei Government
in this trying hour, and to submit to any semi
flees that may be necessary to maintain the
integrity of the Union. Among the most
available sources of revenue, which are resort
ed to oniffilbases of emergency in our coun
try, duties-on tea and coffee hold a prominent
rank, on account of the large sum they will pro
bably yield, and the effect they may exercise
upon thneensumption' of-the nation and the
culinitynkrangements of many families.
The people of the - United States habitually
consume more coffee than the inhabitants of
any other gauntry. Indeed, they use more
than one-fo'nrtli of the whole production of the'
world.' After us, is coffee.drinkers, rank the
Germans, :who import almost a much as we
do." The,Peopfe,of,lfolland and Belgitun also
drink immense quantities of it. The consump
tion of Great, Britain, a-few : years ago, was
but about One-fifth- as Much' as that of this
country. '
From 1850 to 1860 our importations in no

European Neutrality.
However tardy and ungraceful the act, and
the manner of doing' it, the neutrality may
now be `accepted'.as the policy to' which I
England is undeniably committed. No doubt
it was rather a bitter pill for Paaarzasrost and
Russzt,i; but it had to be taken, when the
'sympathies of Queen , VicrottiA and her sub
jecta, with exception•of the Lancashire cotton
sorts and their taskmasters, were known' to be
with the North in the American contest which
is now raging. With more alacrity, and tar
better grace, Frame, Spain, and Prussia have
also declared their neutrality. Italy, so
promptly re,cognized,asia . : Kingdom by our
Executive, cannot do:latheirWlie;Alien .follow
this lead. Belgium, no --,.doubt;vrill.,.do-thtS
same. Nor do we doubt that Aiitititagineds ; :.
and the smaller German States; ivk l all assert
the same principle. .
Not, believe it, fron any abstract , love or
veneration for the Republican principles of
this nation, to which all monarchies must be
more or lees antagonistic, but, we are per
suaded, simply because all European rulers,
whether their'power -limited .or absOite,
meet have a dread - ot even seeming to sanction
and recognize the principle of Raiolt.
England, with disaffected Ireland at ber
right hand, dare not recognize; in the South
ern Confederacy, the active piinciple of Re
bellion. Austria would be afraid of sanction
ing the disaffection of Hungary and Venetia.
Russia and Prusaia will certainly fight shy of
allowing Poland the chance of appealing to
the exaMple of the Rebels in our ,Cotton
States. It is so, more or loss, with other
European sovereignties. We may rest aa
armed that, for their own sake, if not for ours,
they will discouitienince the dangerous prin
ciple which is called Secession among our
aelves, but in all other parts of the world bears
the true name of Rebellion.

How our young Philadelphia general is a mono.
polist ! He seems determined to absorb the honors
of the campaign. With him, indeed, it le true that
" one triumph tread, upon another', heels, so feet
they follow " His discretion is equal tohis courage,
and hie humanity furnishes a happy contrast to
the brutality of those against whom lie is !eliding
the soldiers of. the Repablio. The Indiana and
Ohio people now in Washington are justly jubilant
over the riotnries achieved by their men in 11121
in Western Virginia. Oar Indiana fellow-country.
men are especially delighted, inesmnoh as a - cetera
was thrown over the reputation of their State in
the Mexican campaign, and they longed foray
opportunity to show their daring patriotism. Still,
amidst their rejoining, they mast recollect that
their general is a Pennsylvanian born and bred,_
and that, however bravely their sons and brothers,
and relatives and 'friends have hehaved, wish of
the credit of the treble triumph of the noble
column of which they:conatitate: the majority is
due to our own native-born Pennsylvanian. Let
others say what they, may, too' much :credit
cannot be bestowed upon par good old State
for the manner in which she has demonstrated her
fealty to the oountry, and her determination.

devotion to military soienoe . and the comae of their
oountry. It is not surprising that a State boasting
of each material should wield a large\infinence in
the army and fa the country. As an 'evidence of
the instinctive patriotiera of Pennsylvania, I need '
only remark, , that of the bun - dm:111bl three,montha
volunteers now going out of service a large majo
,rity stand ready to re-enlist for the entire war.
They• will go , into the new regiments, and thus•
'add an element to this increase of the army which
.will render it moat efficient.
The great painter, Leatzs, under the act of Con
gress, and by the recommendatiOn of Qoartern34B
- General Meiga. former superintendent of the
age
a New
Capitol, is preparing materials for his painting to
',decorate the panel opposite one of 'the stairs lead -
Jog to the gallery of the House of Resreeentativas.
't is intended to illustratethe idea of American
Progress, and is said to be a grand conoepiiin.
Lents, is the author of the calibrated plotbre of
Washington crossing the Delaware, and many
others of equal renown.
Speaking of officers of the army, it is gratifying
to notice how much commendation is bestowed
upon Major General Banks, now in command of
the military district of which Baltimore is the
centre. How true it is that a successful military
chief should be a thorough statesman ! Ha who
understands htzman nature is beat qualified to con
trol the muses constituting a Itiige army. 9en;
Banks is a practised politician. Having risen from_
the humblest walks of life, he understands the dis
positions of his fellow-creatures.
,Thrown into,
Baltimore at a most critical period, whets the mob
was known to be ready to rise against the liws, he
checkmated the designs of the traitors by whom he
was surrounded, ousted the municipal offipers
and put other MCn in their stead, and by
,a *Wise
and tolerant sway restored order and safety to the
oommunity. That which startled the dignitaries
of the town satisfied the people. In putting out
'disaffected public officers, he took care to exchange
them for true and loyal men—meirready not mere
ly to fight for the flag of the eonlitry,,:_ but ooniel
entiously resolved to administer.to w the wants of
the city; and I am told that so satisfactory has
been the experience of the nisi , order of things,
that those who at first doubted and denounced
him are now loud in his praise. General Banks
has not yet had an opportunity to distinguish him
self in battle, but I prodiat that when this oppor
tunity is given him he will be as sucoessica in that
experience as be has proved himself to be in the
embarrassing position he now occupies.

.
Beliert S. Garnett, late a major in the United
,Mates army, evacuated its camp in great haste, on
learning of General McClellan"s approach to Bever
ly. apparently hoping to pass Beverly before Gen.
MoOlellan's arrival, and thus escape the trap for
them by a passage through the Cheat Mountain
pass.
The evacuation was digeovered - on the morning
!pf the 12th, and a pursuit was, Instantly ordered.
.By 10 o'clock the Indiana Ninth entered the clamp
on Leonel Hill, and found le*. number of tents,
a lot of flour. camp _ equipage, and clothing, and
several siok and wounded, velth3e:note asking us to
give them proper attention. The whole road for
twenty miles was 'strewn with' baggage thrown
I 'from the wagons to facilitate their retreat.
The rebel army went within three miles of Be
;roily, and there met the rebels flying from Fick
Mountain, and, finding escape to Huttoneville
; Impossible, all united and returned toward Laurel
and took the road in the direction of St.
'George. General division pursued them for
mile or twe beyond Leedsville that night, and
then halted from 11 till 3 in the morning, when the •
`1119f1031, resumed the pursuit and continued it all
day, in spite of an incessant rain pouring down: i
The rebel army left the pike, atruokillheat river, ,
and pursued the mountain road down the valley.
Our advance, composed of the Fourteenth Ohio
and Seventh and Ninth Indiana, pushed on, guid
'ed through the mountain gullies by tents, camp
I furniture; provisions, and knapsacks, thrown from
'the rebel wagons to facilitate their flight. Oar
troops forded Cheat river four times, and finally,
aboat 10 o'clock, 'came up with the enemy's rear
guard. The Fourteenth Ohio advasoed rapidly to
the ford, in which the enemy's wagons were staad
lug, when suddenly the rebel army opened a furl
,
one fire on them with.stnall arms and two rifled
pennon, from thabluff eines opposite side of Cheat
river, where they had been ooneealed, but the fire,
as usual, was too high to be effeetive. The Fow
-1 tosnth regiment returned the fire with spirit .
Meanwhile, two pieces of the Cleveland artillery
came up and opened on theyebela, and the. Ninth
Indiana advanced to the support of the Fourteenth
Ohio's left, while the Seventh Indiana crossed the
'river between the two area, and came in on the
^ enemy's right flank The rebels then fled in great
disorder, leaving their finest pieoe of artillery.
At the next ford, a quarter of a mile further . on,
Gen. Garnett attempted to rally. Ms 'forces, when
the Seventh Indiana came up ist:Mit : ,'lmreuit, and
another brisk engageinentinani& :Gin.' Garnett
was finally shot dead, when his eriny fled in wild
confusion towards Bt. George. '
The Seventh Indiana pursued them a mile or
two, but our forces were so exhausted with their
Toreed march of twenty miles, with but little rest
from yesterday's march, that Gen Morrie refused
to let them pursue any further
• The results of the whole affair aro the capture

Of tents, camp equipaga,tforty baggage wrgona,

money, two regimeitallni*ers, (one of them that
of the, Georgia regiment); Georgia captains
'and lieutenants, and a -14,01 number of Virginia
officers, the death of General Garnett and twenty
4:1 his men, and a much leiger number wounded.
• Our loss is wholly in the Fourteenth Ohio Rail

,Oar forces are now engaged in burying the dead.
General Garnett's body is lying at headquar

Along the line of retreat the woods are filled with
I deserusd rebels, and our men are ordered to stop
arresting prisoners, bedause wooer:mot take care of
them.
There were over Rear thousand rebels on the
biriff commanding oar position, who opened Are

of Congress • to indeninifY the . President for a
breach Of. the Constitution. • 11e. denied that
one branch of the Government can indemnify
publio.cfficers. in another branch for a violation of
the Constitution and laws The power conferred
on the Government by the people is one measure
of its authority. These powers are confided to the
different departments, and their. boundaries :are
determined. The President hes rights and powers
conferred, and the legislative department has its.
powers, and the judicialdepartment has its pow-'
era; and he &sited that either can enoroaah on.
the other, or indemnify each other for a usurpation
of powerroonfided by the Constitution-. Congress
has no more right to make constitutional the an
aonstitntional acts of the President than the
Presi
dent has to - make valid an act of the Supreine
Court encroaching on the Executive power - . or the.
Supreme Court to make valid an act of the Evian-.
tive encroaching on judicial rower.- The resolution
is substantially to declare that. Congress may add
to the Constitution or take from it in a manner not
provided for by that instrument; that •a- tiara
majority can, by resolution, 'ureic that conatitu-.
'lona which is unconstitutional by the some Whin- .
rity. So, in whatever view, the power granted by.
this :resolution is utterly 'subversive of the -Con
! stitution. • • . .
It might be wall to ask if the President bad mi
nuted a power not conferred on him ; but he
should oonflne himself to the acts enumerated in
the resolution—eats which he declared to be
tomrpations on the part of the Executive, and so
far from approving his acts, he thought this high
officer should be rebuked by both Houses of Con
gress. The Presidint has just bad established the
blockade. Where is the clause in the Consti
tution that authorizes it? The last. Congress
refused to confer this authority, and by what
authority did the President do it after they
had refased? The Constitution declares that
Congress alone shall have power to declare
war, and yet the President has made war. In the
last session, the Senator from Illinois (Mr Dou
glas) delivered a speech on the Ifith of Marob,
which he (Mr B) would read Be read an ex
tract from Mr. Douglas' speech, declaring that the
President had no right to•make a blockade at New
Orleans or Charleston more than at Chicago. He
also read from a speech of Daniel Webster, deli
vered in 1832, declaring that General Jaotcson bad
no right to blockade Charleston. lie said he op
' proved of these sentiments, littered by these emi
tent statesmen, who formerly were regarded as
sound, and he thought the time had again Dome
when it should not be thought treason to maintain
I them.
The resolution proceeds to approve of the act of I
the President In enlisting-men for three - and Ave
years. By , what authority of 'Constitution or law
has he done this? The power is not in the Con
saltation, nor has it been granted by law ;- there
fore it must be illegal • and unorinstitatlonal.
Again, the - President, by his own will, added
immensely to the army, - when the Constitution
says that Congress. alone shall have the power
to raise • armies. - He also added to the navy,
against the . Constitution. These-ants cannot be
defended. on. eonstitutional or legal grounds, and
