Russell’s Self-Defence as a Neutral.
Aug. 16. —There are tiro kinds of news which
military men can learn from newspapers—that
whioh is gleaned by analysis of the contents, the
Value of which depends on the materials and the
skill of the operator; and direct intelligence, the
worth of which is in proportion to its correctness,
To toll a general that a work is well built is like
acquainting him that Troy was strong. To tell
him that such a regiment is in such a place,
tririal as it seems, may be of immense use to him
if he knows how the divisions and brigades of
his enemy are composed. A fort differs from an
earthwork as much as an iron-piated frigate
from the Trojan horse. But in its way the horse
may be made the ruin of Troy. If I wore to
state that a fort contained so many guns, and
that they bore on such and such points, I might
lead my military friend into a fatal error if
I did not inform him that there was a ditch with
twelve feet water in it outside. If the position of
the magazines were indicated to an investing force,
it wosld be worth much more than the knowledge
of the calibres of the guns, which are soon ascer
tained by tangible proofs. There are hundreds of
points of this kind on which ignorance requires to
be informed as to worth and uselessness. It is
necessary to say so, because an outcry has
come from the South, I hear, against me, for
communicating to the enemy—viz., the North—
intelligence which I was enabled to acquire in
my capacity as a neutral. Now, let me say,
that though I was a neutral, I was the special
correspondent of a newspaperpublished a long way
off, and that I distinctly stated to every officer
whose command I visited, on both sides, that I
was going to publish so much of what I saw as ap
peared to me likely to interest the readers of the
journal I represented. I went so far as to say to
more than one, “ Mind! what I write will come
back in a month, or sis weeks.” I saw every
thing. but I was far from publishing everything.
I did more than could have been expected from me,
for I did not enter upon details, which would have
been far more injurious to the Southerners than
the general statements I made in reference to the
condition and position of their men and batteries.
When I set out to visit the South from Washington
hostilities had not commenced, but I felt they were
coming, and it appeared to me desirable to visit the
South before the hot weather physically set in, and
above all, before the hotter weather politically which
X apprehended came upon me. It was obvious that,
with the coasts blockaded and mails cut Off, it
would have been of little use for your correspond
ent to have been in the South, unless he had
adopted the ingenious expedient of the representa
tive of one of your contemporaries, and published his
letters in a local paper before he sent them to Lon
don. I mode my tour in the South as n neutral, but
those who met me will do me the justice to admit that
I never concealed my opinion, or simulated those
which I did not feel, as my letters afterwardscould
have shown. I may claim for myself the credit of
having spoken boldly and openly to all men—more
than once or twice to the disturbance of the agree
able social relations which I held with men who
were socially all I could wish, and whose kindness
and courtesy—nay, more, whose actual friendship.
I shall always remember. And all that time I was
undergoing the savage censure of the Northern
papers, because I went to the South at all, and saw
with my own eyes what they conld notyee, and
did not take all their myths as gospel! Very soon
after I arrived at Washington 1 was invited to the
house of a Cabinet Minister, when I met a very
energetic officer of the naval department, who asked
me point blank, “In what state are their works
at Memphis and Randolph?” I replied, “I enn
not answer you, sir. I visited the works as a
neutral, usd, as a correspondent of a neutral
newspaper in a foreign country, I hove communi
cated all I think proper to state on the subject.”
Now, at that very moment my letter was on its
way to the Times, but, though I made use of
considerable detail in describing General Pillow's
works, I abstained from much which was learnt in
confidence, just as I refrained in the very same
letter from stating many matters relating to Cairo,
for instance : General Pillow told me in confidence
lie had ordered a chain cable from New Orleans to
stretch aoross the Mississippi, so as to bring up
any steamers under his batteries, and possibly to
sink them; but, as I did not see the cable, I
did not think it right to mention the circum
stance, any more than I did Mr. Benjamin's views
as to the law of blockade, Mr. Jefferson Davis’
private remarks, or the little matters which are
made known to the man. and not to the news
paper correspondent. Now, it must be remembered
that all I wrote to England from the Bouth was
new; it was intelligence no Northern papers could
five; it was notorious that I intended to send it to
Ingland. At that time direct intelligence flooded
the land with light from the North, and any man
could learn how many Tegiments had arrived at
Washington, how many guns had been put in posi
tion or in the field, as clearly as he knew what Mrs.
Lincoln said when she was buying a set of china in
New York, or of what pattern the said set was.
for all the American world I preserved unbroken
silence as to what I saw in the South; till my let
ters came back no one knew what Z had seen.
If any man living can prove that, before I left
New York, I had expressed anything but wonder
at the apathy and calm which existed there when
my visit took place, or that before I visited the
South, or when I was there, I ever said a word in
approbation ot slavery, or expresssed an opinion on
either side in opposition to that which appears ra
ther as a record of impressions than as an opinion,
from day to day, as I passed through the country,
then I submit to the necessary loss of the confi
dence yon have placed in me, and which you have
obtained for me In this country. This is no light
matter. The character of a newspaper corre
spondent may not be of so much worth in America
to himself or to the journal he represents that so
much type should be used in its vindication, but I
am sure you will feel it is due to the paper I repre
sent. and to him who hererepresents it, to say so much
in reply to scandalous accusations and to imputa
tions disgraceful only to those who use them,
which have been freely used against me. If, as I
had occasion to say once before, General Beaure
gard, General Lawton, Colonel Hardee, General
Herbert, General Bragg, Mr. Walker (the Secretary
of War for the Confederate States), General Pillow,
on the one side, or General Prentiss, General
McDowell, General Scott, or Mr. Secretary Came
ron, on. the other, can accuse me of breach of faith,
it will be time for me to show I have never be
trayed any confidence or forfeited the claims to
trustworthiness which the correspondents of the
Times have gained in the Crimea, India, and Italv.
I had no theories to maintain—no prejudices to jus
tify. I neither believed that the United States re
presented the perfection of government or that it was
the coup manque of mankind in self-government.
I did not think thatslavery was the unforgivable sin,
or that it was the reproduction of the system under
which the fathers of the primeval world adminis
tered their patriarchal rules. As things seemed to
me, so I sought to describe them. The husk might
be too thick for me to penetrate, but at least I could
say what, as it appeared to me, were its color,
shape, substance, and nature. Because New York
buret into u frenzy when Sumpter was attacked,
my letter describing Its apathy was denounced
with acrimony on ex post facto grounds; because
I| expressed my belief that the Union, as it had
been, was gone forever, I was called a shallow
observer by writers who are now declaring that un
less the will of the people of eleven States is put to
the sword the Union is lost; because I depicted, or
tried to depict, slavery as I found it to my senses—
a cruel, cold, deadly ingratitude to God, and the
plantation system as an organized outrage on hu
man nature, I have been styled a spy, a traitor
(and the Lord knows what besides, because the
Southern journals do not circulate here,) and it is
asserted I concealed or changed my opinions.
“ Contempsi Catalina glados, non pertimescam
tuos ?" I shall say no more, nor shall anything
tempt me again to make any rejoinder to the at
tacks which may, and no doubt will be made upon
me, and of the willful malice and persistent falsity
of which I have already satisfied my own mind not
unreluctantly.
PENNSYLVANIA ITEMS.

tinel, has been nominated for Assembly by the
People's Party Convention of that connty.
At a Union Democratic meeting recently held in
Curwensviile, Clearfield county, the following
among other resolutions was passed:
Resolved, That we believe this Government to
be of more value to us and ouv children than any
mere party organization; that its principles and
their preservation are superior to party creeds or
party discipline; and, therefore, no man has a right
to pause in his difference with an Administration
before he agrees to yield his adhesion to its policy
of suppressing a rebellion.
Painful Accident.—A few days since the wife
of Mr. John 8011, of Greensburg, was thrown from

ceiving other injuries.

Condition and Claims of Indians in the
United States.— The committee appointed at a
public meeting recently held in Harrisburg, in
pursuance of a call by Governor Curtin, and other
distinguished citizens, to consider the claims of the
American Indian, haye reported the following
preamble and resolution:
Whereas. It appears that certain designing and
evil-di3posed persons have been falsely representing
to the Indians on our Western frontiers that the
Administration of the General Government at
Washington, and the people of the free States, are
hostile to the welfare of the Indian race, and are
not disposed to preserve inviolate the treaties which
have been entered into between the Government of
this country and the various Indian tribes, hut
intend to withhold from them their respective an
nuities and other dues, and ultimately deprive them
of the lands secured to them by treaty—all of
which is fraudulently and falsely done for the pur
pose of inducing them to take up arms against the
United States, and join with those who arc now in
rebellion against the Government, whereby the
frontier settlements may be drenched with the best
blood of the people: therefore,
Resolved, That the President of the United
States he most respectfully requested to issue his
proclamation, at an early day, assuring the Turious
tribea of the strong sympathy of the Northern
people in their welfare, and that-there shall be a
just settlement of all their grievances and full and
ample protection of their rights; also, that com
petent and trustworthy agents be appointed to
adjust all difficulties with the various tribes, and in
consultation with them devise some acceptable plan
for their future welfare, and that the attention of
Congress be specially called to the subject at an
early period in its next session.
CrJLAitOKH in tub Rebez. Armv.— Reliable
information has been received of a change in the
command of the rebel forces. General A. $.
Johnston has been appointed to the chief com
mand of the rebels in tne Mississippi valley, to act

troops before Washington, therefore, devolves upon
General Jos. Johnson. General Beauregard taxes
command of the main column of this force, and all
movements are to be made after a consultation be
tween these two generals, both actually, if nol
nominally, acting in concert.
