PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1861.
Vend. Ex
Sin : My attention has been directed to a letter
of yours, which appeared in yesterday's bioniece,
and, as anything which emanates from your pen
must interest me, I took especial pains in reading
it to comprehend its scope and meaning. I confess
that I was muoh astonished at its contents, although
I thought that I had schooled myself not to be sur
prised at any political occurrence whatever. Your
intercourse sad mine has always been kind and
friendly ; it cannot, thereform be said that this re.
ply to your letter is dictated by either ingratitude
or envy. I stood by you, and led your forlorn hope
in the Convention before which you were a candi
date for mayor. We voted for you against what I
then considered a most infamous political combina
tion. You were defeated for the nomination. You
know how sore I felt at the result; yet there was
no office in your gift, if Mooted fility6f 45 , 1 . &if city,
that I would accept from you. When you were
nominated for Congress, no man felt more rejoiced
than I. The Press newspaper doubted your sin
cerity to support the Administration. I took a dif
ferent view, and, I believe, to a certain extent, in
fluenced Col. Forney to deal leniently towards you—
at all events, I wrote to him, remonstrating against
any attack upon you. Knowing, as I do, Col. For
ney's generous nature, and his desire to oblige his
friends, be refrained from being severe upon you.
I em certain that my anxiety to have you elected to
Congress had its weight with almost every person
engaged upon The Press. But I did more, for five
oficeeßil'e elnlififie Mgr your MilliDarii9ll, I closed
thy place of business earlier than usual, and tra
veiled the district, beseeching and imploring Dou
glas Democrats to vote for you, pledging my ward
that you would be found, upon the floor of Congress,
a staunch supporter of the Government. I regret
to say, judging from the tenor of your letter, that I
was mistaken. One gentleman alone, to oblige me,
went to unusual trouble, and got for you twenty
eight votes, besides his own, all of whom usually

I say to you, clearly and distinctly, that you
could not have been elected but for my exertions.
I say this in no exulting spirit, but merely to prove
that I have been your warm, devoted, unselfish
friend. I now proceed to analyze your letter, and
to MO it is ft painful and disaucoul?le t 45 . 11; but I
deem it to be a, duty that I oWe to such citizens as
were influenced by my representations to vote for
you. If I mistake not, every citizen to whom your
letter is addressed has been a Breekinridge Demo

George M. Dallas has been absent from the country,
and I have been informed that Mr. Fraley has re
pudiated your sentiments_ It appears plain to me
that you have chosen to identify yourself with the
Breckinridge school of politicians, and if so, you
will have, for weal or for woe, to abide the conse
quences. In your letter of yesterday you say :
'My Dolitital 6145116 ES hie what they have always

MONDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1861.
To the Hon. Charles J. Biddle
PHILADELPHIA, November 29, 1861

but 1 will not place my own preference iu - opposilion to the
people's wish. It elected, I will serve as soon as I can
quit the field without dishonor. Philadelphia would not
expect me wooer. I will give no part i san pledges , I
will try to do my duty in whatever sphere it may please
God to piece me. CuAneaS J. BIDDLE,"
I need not say to you that the Douglas platform
was the fairest proposition that could have been
offered to the South ; nor need I inform you that
the leaders of the Democracy in that section, and
their confreres in iniquity and treason in this,
spurned his constitutional offer. That the Demo
cratic party has done great good in the halcyon
days of its power none can deny : but when it de
parted from its high and holy mission; when its
leaders became traitors to its principles and doe
trines ; when they appealed from the will of the
people constitutionally expressed through the ballot
box to foul treason and unnatural rebellion, it be
came the duty of every loyal Democrat to pause
and consider if he were willing to be dragged to
political perdition, or if he shoutil array himself on
the side of the Government. You say that "Se
cession was a little baffled clique so long as tho
Democracy was in power." Well, why not?
Nearly every prominent Secessionist South was in
office, and almost all their friends North were
well provided for, but so soon as it became
a certainty that power was about to depart
from the Democracy its leaders raised their
black and bloody flag to destroy the beat system of
government that was over founded by the ingenuity
of man. I know that you know all this as well as
I do, and I can only attribute to you the sentiments
expressed in your letter to your intimate acquaint
ance and connection with the particular school of
Democratic politicians who surround you.
You again say
,4 When the national flag was struck down at Charles
ton, and the national capital was threatened by Secession,
the North rose like one man. The world saw with as
tonishment the great uprising of the people; Europe pre
judged the issue in our favor ; yet, as if smitten with
blindness, the Republican leaders seemed striving to
waste and dissipate, instead of to seize and use, the noble
material for great armies which was, with scarcely any
limit, placed at their disposal. The soldier who offered
himself for the public service found that he must ear-wig
some politician before he could be allowed the privilege
to fight or die for his country. I,ien began to say that
the war was to ho made r a Black 11014,40 u 34.* "
Well, " when the national .flaw sownat Chartwo— —2 tun nations i capital was threat
ened by Secession." Who struck down the flag?
Certainly not Black Republicans, but the leaders
of the Demoeraey—the leaders of your party and
of mine. Can this he denied? You as well 40 I
know that we were taken aback ; that but for the
universal upheaving of the free States Wash
ington would to-day be in the possession of the
leaders of the Democracy. You and I know that
under Democratic President Buchanan, Democra
tic Secretary Cobb robbed the treasury, Demme
tic Secretary Floyd robbed the arsenals, Democra
tic Secretary Toucey scattered our fleet ; you and I
know that Democratic Senators Davis, Slidell, &a.,
assisted them in their villainies—that Democratic
Viee-Presklent Breekinridge was the pivot of trea
son. You know or ought to know, that Democratic
Senators, and Democratic members of Congress, and
Democratic leaders in the North, sympathized with
these traitors ; you know, or ought to know, that
if Secessionism were as strong North as it has been
South, that a man like me would not get leave to
live. Andy Johnson and Parsonßrownlow are hunt
ed like wild beasts for defending the Government. Is
It not curious that the vials of your wrath are
poured out upon the heads of the Republican
leaders, while you can scarcely spare even a drop
for those of the traitorous miscreants who are now
in arms against the Government ? You state that
"men say that the war is to be a Black Republi
can job.' Pray sir, who are these men? Let us
by all means know who they are. You further
state ;
"A general, born here among us, restored to their
due supremacy the martial virtues that insure success
in war ; trained and competent officers second his efforts,
scores of imbeciles have been pushed out of service, and
this good work still progresses.
"The Democratic party will sustain the men—the
Dlcelchans, the Duponts—who have in charge the honor
of our flag on land and sea. Let, everywhere, the peo
ple put in office men who will not see the war again be
come a party Joh ;' let the administration of the C, o
vernment be such us to attract, not repel, the doubtful
States."
Wise 0A,66a McClellau mail Dupont in their re
spective commands? Did not the present Cabinet
gladly avail itself of the services of both these
distinguished citizens? 4 ‘ The Democratic party
will sustain the men—the McClellan, the Duponts."
such is your exprosicint Of courts it will, just so
long as the McClellans and the Deposits sustain the
Government. The Democratic party of the Free
States—those gallant men who rallied to the stand
ard of the lamented Douglas, in 1860—are true to
the Government and to the laws, and so is the bulk
of those who toted for the arch-traitor Breckinridge.
Only the miserable drivellers who cannot read the
signs of the times are disloyal; a broken-down
clique, which clings to the phantom of power.
There is not a disloyal wan to-day, in the Free
Steitz, who has Het been n Beeekitifidge Dereeierta.
My dear sir, every such letter as yours gives en
couragement to the rebels, and induces them to pro
long the struggle.
I agree with you in your denunciation of corrup
tion and incompetency, but you ought to have been
specific; you should be particular and give to the
public the benefit of your own knowledge ; you
should let us know who are the villains who are
perpetrating the crimes which you so eloquently
portray. It is not fair to leave us in the dark; we
should Ise forewarned against these bad men. To re
tain this knowledge in your own heart, without in
forming your fellow-citizens who the caitiffs aro to
whom you allude is hardly treating us justly. You
create suspicion ; for, if we are not cognizant of the
of the names of the guilty parties, how are we to
guard against the rascals you so feelingly describe?
Above all things, lot us have blazeued to the face
of the world the names of as many of these villains
as you know. lam no advocate of Black Republi
canism ; I do not approve of incompetent officers
being appointed in the army ; but, taking . every
circumstance into consideration, the wonder is that
an unarmed people has done so much. If the war
becomes a BLACK REPUBLICAN Jon, we ought not
to forgot that Democratic traitors forced upon us
the issue ; we ought not to forget that Lyon and
limbic, and Pnkor and Ellsworth—noise of whom
were Democrats—have given their lives to the
Union ; we ought not to forget that the Government
places its trust in the MoClellans, and Duponts, and
Butlers, who are Democrats.
I have thrown my thoughts together hastily, in
the hope that in Congress you will lend a cordial
and hearty support to the Administration; that you
will use your own sound sense, uninfluenced by any
of your Breckinridgo acquaintances. There is a
glorious future before you. You ate yet a young
man ; rely upon the people, and the mighty power
of truth ; assist to crush out treason and this foul
rebellion ; do this in no querulous or cavilling
spirit, and no man will try more ardently for your
future political advancement than your humble
servant, JOHN CAMPBELL.
Liucoln
[For The Press.]
There is a great deal in a name. Nowhere has
a good name, charaoterized with honesty and fideli
ty, so much respect as in this country—in none is
a name stigmatised with dishonor or treason so
offensive to the people.
Several of the Southern rebels, galled to the
quick by the President's Timone and magnani=
mous operations to quell their nefarious revolt, de
scend to base and vulgar personal aspersions of him,
alleging, among other things, that he ' , domes from
the lowest class of society, which, if true, would be
highly creditable to him, as moving that he has
qualities which alone sufficed to elevate him to the
first position in the world. The founder of every
race arose from obscurity; but the President's
name has always been illustriousand historic. The
Duke of New Castle's family nave is Lincoln, and
in this country it has been distinguished. In con
nection with the present Southern outrages, there,
at least, it should be remembered, although forget
ful of innumerable benefits and kindnesses, that
General Lincoln was second in command of the
twiny which_ captured Burgoyne in 1777: performed
signal exploits subsequently; lowards the close of
1778 was appointed by Congress, "at the svolecita
tio7l of the delegates of South Carotena and
drors-ra.," to take commaaci of the Southern de
partment; defeated an attempt by the British to
take possession of Port Royal island in 1779; re
lieved the siege of Charleston ; remained there in
1150, "at the earnest regress of a ge s g / afeantt,.• - ;
sustained a LIND there from 2d March until 12th
May, when he surrendered, "at the urgency of a
great number of ritigeas
of Charleston;" and
in 1781 received the sulanisaii thy royal arm_;
at Yorktown precisely al that of his own army had
been made at Charleston, when he was particu
larly noticed in the order of the day. Rave the
Charleston people forgotten these historical facts?
In 1787 he was appointed to command the force in
Massachusetts to suppress Shay's insurrection, and
wan anointed one of tilt otglittiNtonotg to coneidor
the rebellion.
The name of the pseudii President Davis, or any
of his Cabinet, has no record to compare with that
of Lincoln.
None of the agaric chiefE of the rebellion have
names historical, conspicuous, or known to the
world, until now rendered shamefully notorious by
their treason, and infamous by the iniquitous mea
sures of treachery, faleehot, perjury, and robbe
ry, with which their revolt was commenced and
has been prosecuted. C.

We learn from a passenger just from the yard
that the fire was opened by Pickens upon the Con
federate States steamer Time, and was returned by
Qpr batteries and forts.
The United Staies steam frigate Aria gara is try-

The Firing of Friday—Commencement of
the Second Day's Fight.
The Observer of the 23d has the following :
The firing, as we stated yesterday, began from
Fort Pickens. The whole of their fire ; during the
morning, was directed at the steamer Time, but
with very little effect. The Time came up last
night, and, with the exception of two or three little
holes made with rifled shot, she is unhurt. This
shows that their guns are of a very inferior quality,
or that Brown and his Yankees were all drunk , —
very probably the latter.
The steamer Nelms was also in the basin with
the steamer Time at the beginning of the fire. Only
one shot struck her, and that did not do much da
mage. The Nd,
Nelms went over to the main land
and found the Florida regiment all right. The
Nelms in passing Billy Wilson's batteries gave
them a couple of shots, which were harmlessly re
turned. The Nelms heard while on the main land
that the rumor of the firing over there the night
previous was take.
The United States frigate Niagara tried hard to

by a shell in the yard. A great many shot end
shell fell in the yard, but done very little damage
to the buildings. Our guns worked all day, and
must have told with terrible effect upon the other
side. We think the greatest damage done was to
one of their ships which ventured too near one of

But the meanest and most contemptible act was
the execution of the threat made some time ago by
that prince of hardened scoundrels, Harvey Brown,
that he would not respect hospitals. One shot was
so well aimed at the building that it went through
it, but did no damage. The baseness of this act
placesthis blackguard below the lowest cut-throat
and vagabond pickpocket of New York. At thir
teen minutes to eleven o'clock this morning the fire
reopened and still continues at a very brisk rate.
The people are not so much excited as yesterday,
and we can see every appearance of a determina
tion to resist to the last extremity, if needs be, but
every one seems to place an unlimited confidence
in our success. We hope now that it will continue
until it is settled. Hurrah for the Southern Con

strength of the fortifications on each side will very

erected by the Confederate forces have doubtless
been constructed with great skill and care, and we
should judge by this time that they are in a condi

on either side. It will be no Hatteras or Port Royal

Rebel Outrages in Northeast Missouri
[Cone-pcookmeo of the Migsnuri Democrat.]

We have about fifteen hundred votes in Putnam

Colonel Mewls. and Aoiiie at Canton. We have

they were. Schuyler county borders on Chariton

less old men an ' women; murdering now and then
eitizen. They enter houses; pull off the blankets
from the beds of our defenceless women and chil
dren, besides threatening their lives and abusing
them in the most shameful manner possible. They
not only steal blankets, but take whatever they cea
lay their hands upon that is of any value. They
have stolen horses; saddles, bridles, blankets, guns,
revolvers, and whatever arms they
. could find of
any description. They have fired grain stacks, corn
cribs, stables and houses. We have organized our
few Union men into companies. We are poorly
armed. but intend to defend ourselves the best we
can ; and, ns soon as we can arm thoroughly, if
these depredations are repeated, we will carry the
war into Africa.

The Mississippi Gunboats,
- • • h erald correspondent of the ilerald writing from Bt.
Louis under date of November 24, says :
Most of the gunboats have been launched and
sent to Cairo to receive their armament. There
are now but five feet of water in the channel from
St. Louis to Cairo, and if the present weather eon=
tinues there will soon be sufficient ice to close navi
gation. The Mississippi is exceedingly irregular in
its time of closing. In some seasons it i s frozen
over as early as December 1, and remains so until
late in February, while in others it continues navi
gable the entire year. The Missouri and the upper
Mississippi are now quite low, and rapidly falling,
and even if the ice does not close the river our
heaviest boats will find great difficulty from low
water. The gunboats, without their guns on board,
draw four and a half or five feet, and with the
guns and Wit oorayaoroent of shot and Shell, otin
not require less than six feet of water to move with
certainty and celerity. The transports can go
wherever the gunboats can.
THE MISSISSIPPI EXPEDITION.
The Defences of Columbus
A Cairo correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
mercial says :
The roest reliable news from Columbus, Ry. don
firms the reports that Polkland Pillow:are receiving
large reinforcements of rebel troops from below,
and that their strength must not be underrated.
At least 25,000 troops are at that point, and the
daily accessions of artillery from Memphis are
large.
It is plain to see that the rebel department of the
Mississippi now intend to make Columbus the first
great fort of the Mississippi. It is by Nature very
strongly fortified; and ; in fact, a far stronger point
than any other place on the river between Cairo
and Vicksburg.
The rebels also have two great advantages. They
have below Columbus the navigation of the Mis
sissippi to the Belize, also of a complete railroad
connection to Memphis with fine rolling stock, on
which to transport speedily the heavy artillery and
munitions of war, from Memphis and other points
in Tennessee.
- - - -
Columbus cannot be taken with a less force than
lifty thousand men to attack in the rear, with the
full Western flotilla in front, at prosont. Lit O.
month hence it will probably take doable that
number.
The forward movements of Price in Missouri in.
client° clearly their strategy, the same which so far
hes been so successfully - carried out. Thgt gultory
is to keep the army of the Mississippi, or at leaa
the main portion of it, employed in Missouri, run
ning after Price and his subordinate generals.
This prevents them from descending the Missis
sippi and carrying the war into Africa, at the same
time giving to the rebels of T615216§960, Arkantuns,
Mississippi, and Louisiana, that all•haiortant
military advantage, time. They want nine to
fortify, to cast cannon, to raise money, to. concen
trate their forces, and also to discipline them,, all of
which they ere gaining by these &torsions of
General Price.
It may be safely said that General , Price has,
done far more for the Southwestern rebel cause than
all their other generals combined. This view is
fully corroborated by the rebel prom of Memphis
and Vicksburg.
The importance, hence, of an early and very
heavy movement southward, by the blissisuippi,
cannot be overestimated by the Administration ,
