Tice march from tieuto Berry to thin poiot wan as
cheerless and uncomfortable as a march could be..
heavy rain the night before had changed .the clay and
sand doll of tiirginia to a thick, deep mud. Added to this
it rained heavily all day, but the soldiers walked, or
rather floundered, through the loud .with commendable
patience ; but it was. stow work, and ,in eight home the
column bad made but little mote then as ;natty miles.
Bore and there would be a spot whole some unfortu

yield to the powtr horse °ramie. Then the troops tiled
round or went into the woods; but they generally pre
ferred to march straight threugh to 'teldug the circuitous
route of the forest. Not so your' cerresporelent. ,Re
duced to the necessity of walking, he chase the best spots
that could be found in the rain eterm, while, with huh/-
rabbi r coat, he bade defiance to the pelting dropt. The
poetry of a march will do for the firrelle; let men see the
reality. en a rainy spring day in Virg:ilia.
At:rived at our destinatiou for the 6ar, the spot from
which I write, what in scene met - the eye I A plain, oats

a regiment encamped, but the ground ft' me?s of used
But the tired men think more of the repel° they peal than
the mad, cud- the shelter.tente are ottickly Pitched br
some, while others dash off into illt)neighborittg, welds to
procure small branches and leaves for a tittering, In
, belf en hour, from tlio time the arms are stacked the men
are Comfortably Loosed in their tante, with lighted dreg
and clrit4deg the coffee tiny have just prepared.
TO. day the sun is shining brightly.and beitutifully.
Outride it is intensely hot, and I sit in the shale of the
tent enjoying the pleasant scene. The men bare just had
their Midday meal, and'prudentty take a short rest before
the ditties of the afternoon commence. -
The camp-groutd, as seen by - daylidlet aurbainshine,
vents a vary different aspect than that presented on the
evening of, our arrival. . A river flows atone aide, along the
edge In a email creek, and river and creek abound with
fish. The warm sun has dispelled the, chillinesr of the
water, and bathers ate numerous. Pure, clear spring
water in ahundatt. A finer spot for an encampment
could not be selected. -
The town of Curnberland has npreing up within the last
week or two. It consists at present of a. shanty, two or
three tents, and a steamboat ,lauding., But we have
reached civilization. At intervals we hear the familiar
sound of• the steam whistle, and some avow they heir the
roar 61 tboreilway train. Rather unlikely, for we are
only twenty. five miles from Richmond, and the railroad
connecting that p'ace with Went Point, where Franklin's
army landed, is but Live miles dintant.
The great institution occupying the militia of the men,
at the present rime, is the antler's store. Fancyts tent - ,
fined with articles of luxury end nectssity.,et eajniter
made by placing a plank upon, two barrels set on end,
the sutler and hisassietants inside, and a hungry crowd
outside, ail atIXIOIIE to be rid-of their spare change, while,
the occupants are busy reviving money and distributing
their stock. It takes a- sutler four (lays to procure a
stock, and bring it to this point. Ho sells it out in four
hours; the n , away to replenish. ',Home of them keep
several wagons In comitent motion, between the camp
and Fortress Monroe, while others charter a sloop or
Echoptur, stock it, and make it a convenient depot front,
which to draw their supplies.
.. Lieutenant Colonel Thomas W. Egan, of the 4th New
York Regiment, who was in-command of the siege works
at Yo , ktown, and who was arrested there charged with
treason,
,aud communicating with the enemy. has been
honorably ,released, by order of General McClellan. The
charge has been discovered to have been entirely un
founded, and to have been started by sa inferior officer
of the same regiment. He had- been placed in arrest
Colonel Egan for insolence and disobedience of orders,
audit is supposed that the accused was influenced by re
vengeful motives. The matter is not yet settled, how
ever; as the colonel has demanded a court of inquiry,
that the proceedings - May be made public. It will pro
bably lied to the cashiering of the accused.
General Fitz John Porter has seat to the colonel a
very flattering and complimentary letter, expressing his
regret fix the indignity of an arrest and the imputation,
.and ordering him to dirty.y
ltis scarcely necestotri to add that the colonel is' a
great favorite with the officers and men, and that he was
joyfully greeted by them on his return to the regiment.

I understand that. General Pope was very confident' of
being able to beat the rebel force that was sent ant
against his little brigade on Friday, and that the whole
command were very indignant at not having been al
lowed to stay and fight it Out. There were supposed to
be 20,000 of the enemy, and 3,000 of our troops; but, we
bad very 'm eat advantages of position. 't till, there was
great clanger that by resitting an attack of 20,000 men we
should bring one genet al engagement, and for that we are
not yet ready. The roads are in perfect order, the weather
centimes good, and there is "nothing, so far as outsiders
can eee, to - test-rain us, Pope is about four miles froM

right, about sex miles off, and Buell about the same.

every day. Our.: pickets are only about half a mile
apart, end advance on the right wing pushes
them ":back every day. We found out yesterday
wby it was that they so obstinately opposed the recon
noissance on, our right on - fieturtay last. They had,
not more than two miles front' our advance, a fine huge
camp situated on a high commenhing ridge, from which
they could have bidden us defiance, and where they
might have arranged on each side, net more than 150
yards each side of us, ma-kod batteries, where
our_ skirmishers would not have been likely to have
found them. I rode out -to this point 'lest eve
n'ng. A more delightful place fora tamp could
net be •foiled. The timber is scattering, ground
h'gh end clean and dry, water abundant, and the position
could be held from either foe for a small eternity. Bach
side of this ridge, which may be t at the highest point, one
hundred yaids wide, rise two other ridges With sharp,
abrupt sides, from which one or two pieees'of'artillery
could play a long time .befote they could be taken or
forced to leave. Ont .at the farther. end,- I imagine,
Corinth would be viSible. I could see beyond the
trees that dim, hazy, bluish look; which always
indicates a valley, or an ;interval with highlands
beyond. I would have investigated farther,' but
I bad been looking pretty sharply ahead, and at
this high point I thought there ought to be a picket, as it
SOMlllallded a long range of vision. I concluded to - wait
a few Moments and watch. As I was looking with all
my eyes, I saw the bark of an oak tree Ewell out to the
right, then the whole tree enlarged, and' changed
into a butternut, who quietly - contemplated me for a
moment, and then retreated to the next tree- be
hind him. Se had a companion, who seemed toa - pprove
hie 'tactics, and both of them had guns, and I' had none.
Titers was quite a party along, all officers, and per
haps the fellow thought we would be green enough to
rush into an ambuscade - and give him a batch of valua
ble prisoners; at any rate, he effectually repressed my
desire to gaze on the benetiee of Corinth; and I returned
incontinently to the protecting shadow of our own pick.
Me, allele, under two pieces of artillery,- we considered
ourselves perfectly safe. - -
Orders were sent last night, to the whole . of Grant's
army, to 'get' up from the landing all the rations they
could, for the next two days. This looks as though, at
the expiration of that time, we-should move on towards,
and perhaps to. Corinth. .I.feless we are waiting to effect
a junction with some other force, we must be ready by

TIIE following letter has been sent to us by the
subscriber. It gives us an insight into the doings of
the Convention ihat declared Virginia out of the
Union, and sustains the oft repeated opinion of
The i.rress, that that Convention was not a unit
on the subject of Secession, but that it was forced
to act as it did by mere brute force of the traitors
who surrounded its doors. For some time after the
ordinance of Secession was passed, the traitors
boasted that it was done unanimously and enthu
siastically ; but the letter of Captain Burdett em
phatically denies this.. The letter is as follows:
MELY . ii, 186"
TO Ins )IDITon or Tar. Pines: I WSW a member of
the Virginia Convention which pawed the ordinance of
Secession in the spring of 1661, and represented Taylor
county, in Western Virginia, which is some hundred
miler' %mall of Wheeling. Before going to Richmond I
pledged myself to my constituents, that in no case would
I vote for the infamous Secession ordinance—indeed.
such a pledge was necessary in order property to repre
sent the sentiment of Taylor county. I went to the
capital a Union man—firmly resolved to withstand every
allurrment and to bravo any man who dared attempt
compulsion by threats—and I did to. I did my whole
• duty—cast my vote with filly-five patriots who voted.
against that outrageous ordinance, and .went back to
Ts, for count* to receive the gratrilations of all true
union men.
`3ly purpose in writing this brief letter to you, is to
bear, witness to. the . truth of the statements that
have been niade,, that the Secession ordinance was
agreed on under the vilest compulsion. So Tar as
I. can learn, hitch , stories are discredited at the
North. Such unbelief is improper, and as a Union mem- •
tier of find Convention. present during the whole time,
.eoeing and hearing all that passed, I am ready to bear
witness that Members voted for secession under the cam
widen of a riotous mob, well-armed, who overawed the
Unionists of Richmond, and under the behests of Wise,
',etcher & Co., threatened toy life and the lives of my
'Union colleagues, if I did not consent to their traltorone
schemes. The Union men wore taunted in the Conven
tion—thousands of the lowest outcaete swarmed outside
of our meeting place, throwing: stones at the windows.
booting; yelling, end threatening. Cannon were planted
on the Capitol Square. Every where.a Unionist went he
was itienited. Lives were in jeopardy, and after 1 bad
cast my veto for the Union and against the ordinance,
Senator (WIN, mrs , lr, and ton ethers, were compelled
to gee from Bicbmond, only escaping by aye minutes the
traitor Letcher's telegram sent after us to aneet us for
r , treason," and when wo palmed through Rarper'e Ferry
we found au infuriated crowd preparing to seize the
arsenal and raise the bloody flag of rebellion. More
than thin, it was agreed upon, in Richmond, to seize us
there and not allow ns to vote, but good fortune inter
vened and balked the neferions scheme.
Several comities in Western Virginia were terribly
misrepresented in thatronvention. In some caste, Se
cessionistafrem the Rest, brought out West for the spe
cial purpose, would stand for election there as conditional
Union men when they really wore tho vilest Secession
hounds of the whole pack. Had it not been for force of
arms that ordinance would never have passed, and my
Dative State would never have been sold out to the vile
• Sonth•Carolina traitors.

REHR INTERVENTION IN AMERICA.
OPINIONS OF THE FOREIGN JOURNILS.
The fOreinn journals dill continue to speculate upon
the eignifunince of the French minister's visit to ltich
mond, and upon the rumor that France intends to inter
vene, in the American struggle. The following are some
of the lending opinions:
The Constitutionnei, of Paris, publiehes at the bead
'of its columns, and with all the display of type that is
calculated to attract attention, the following article on
American affairs:
rt If there he at the prevent time an incontestible [act—
one which unfortunately is beyond the reach of discus
sion—it is that the moat experienced eye cennot perceive
in a future, however distant, the termination of die war
in America by mere hostile means. The Norte, at the
ontvet, paid that three months would suffice to reduce
the South; it is now thirteen tuontlis . since the atrugglo
by means of cannon shot commenced ; and a perusal of
the last despatches must convince any one that things
are not further advauced than on the flaunty. Were
it only in the interest of humanity, all must wish for the
parthattlon of that immense country ; brit there is mars
than an inkiest of humanity ievoleed—there is the suf
fering of manufacturing Europe. In the midst of tad'.
painful eircumstances width sticcad each other, end of
the accounts which aro every day brought by the de
spatches from America, the visit of 31. Mercier to Rich
mond has boon interpreted in a favorable mealier, end
considered as a ground fur hope. -We are not acquainted
with the object of that excursion, and we are not awa.c,
whether M. Mercier has: been charged with a mi,sion ;
but we are willing to hope, with the pub in, that the
French minister at NYasbington may lance the adverse
parties to listen to words of conciliation and peace. It
those words are uttered and listened to, it will can
se
joy to all feeling hearts in'F.urope, and particularly
hi Franco."
The Paris Paris states that very important•eonfer
ems have been going on at Richmond. between M. Mer
cier and the Government of the Southern States, and
from the fact of the contionance:of the negotiations It
draws the inference that the "overtures main by our re.
presentative to Pt esident Davis most have been favorably
!calved in principle." But upon the nature of M. lifer
eters overtures, the French journals throw no light what
ever. The Temps, however, attic, that at. Mercier went
to IPcbmond in consequence of 'the repeated and urgent
solicitatione of Mr Jefferson Davis, who, feeling that the
Bouth la in extremis, writes to invoke the good offices of
Franca to negotiate a peace."
The London Herald's Paris correspondent writes that
the a pparently semi-official note in the Constitutionnef,
siltecating the recognition of the Southern States. has
created great sensation. lie is informed, on good autho
.ritr, that it was communicated to the journal direct from
the Government.
The Paris correepondent of the Mobs writes as follows:
"It becomes daily more estsblisued that the Govern
ment of the Empire is engaged in' substantial efforts to
bring the North American conflict to a close; and its po-
Hey in that direction is unmletakably announced in its
semi-official organs. The mission of 31. Mercier to Rich
mond is distinctly bold oat in the Constitutimmet as
bearing on nesetiations'of this character, and it is lull
crone to tind it interpreted elsewhere as meant to incul
cate prompt submission on the part of the Confederate
Elates, by deprecating the chances of further resistance.
The Dibats persists in its bygone conclusion that the
atrnggle must and in a coercive tranquillity with such
' order' es reigns at Warsaw, and propounds the red
tape and pipr-clay theory that a French envoy accredited
at Washington cannot bold diplomatic intercourse with
rebels at Richmond, while other oracles complete one full
understanding of the case by intimating that President
Lincoln is a cousentine and complacent party to the in
terview with President Davis."
The Shipping Gazette, in a leader on M. Mercier's
mission to Richmond, says the Ind ie full of significance.
The only object the 'French Government can have in view .
in, to open the Southern - porta for cotton and tobacco. If
they carry oat that object, Whether by negotiation or by
force, we don't see how a recognition of the South is to
be withheld ; nor does it sem likely that Franco can be
permitted to adventure ou r the policy indicated by M.
Mercier's mlislon, without some understanding with the
Government of this countrY.'
The Times' correspondent, writing on the 7th, says:
Every one has been trying to discover the real motive
for fil.Mercier's journey to Richmond. The one assigned
by a Portion of the Parisian press—namely, to look after
the tobacco interest—la too futile. The Federal papers

spent its last dollar nod its last num; while the Confe
derate journals look upon the movement of 'the French
minister as preliminary to the immediate recognition by
France of the Confederate States. The minister of a
foreign Government is not usually lemployed in the
character of a .herald; and the circumstance that ho
bed a long interview with Mr. Seward and Mr. Lin
coln previous to setting out, and the facilities given
him for communicating between Richmond and Wash
ington during his MISMOD, throw some doubt on
the version es to immediate and absolute recognition..
Some curious people have asked ff. • Thouvonel
about the matter; but, if I am rightly informed,
M. Thouvenel replied that be knew nothing; that, not
only had he given no instructions to M. Mercier
about a mission to Richmond, but that he wits ae
ignorant as•anybody • else what he was gone there fir.
And in Riving this assurance, IL Theuvenel probably
spoke truly. It does not, however, follow that M. Mer
cier had no instructions, merely because M. Thonvenel,
who, perhaps, alien. of all the Cabinet professes little
sympathy for the Confederate cause has not given him
any ; an d you may be certain that M. Mercier would not
quit his post without orders from some ono to whose will
even the Minister of Foreign Affairs must defer.
, t It Is an ascertained fact that the Emperor Napoleon
has been fir months pest most desirous of seeing the war
between the North and South at an end; chiefly, no doubt,
front motives which are creditable to his humanity, but
a great deal from anxiety to arrest the etifferidg, as well
as the disoontent Which accompanies suffering, among the
working and commercial classes in France, and which
are iu most part attributable to the civil war in America.
Be believes, too, and this belief is shared by the majority
of his ministers, that the re-eatablithruent of the Union
is hopeless. ',There viewe were . DOOM time ago pressed

AN IMPORTARI . PAPER PRESENTED BY DR
BREMINRIDGE.
The Old School General Assembly of the Preebyterian
Church is now in session at Columbus, Ohio. On MOW.
day : Rey. Dr. Breckieridge presented the following paper
on the state of the country and the Presbyterians , duly
iu the crisis. The paper will be discussed, and very
likely adopted by the Ss nod. '
71to Ceuerel Assembly of the 'Presbyterian Church in
the Dulled Slates of America, in sesdon at Coloathes, in
the SW° of Ohio. coneldering the unhappy condition of
the country—la the midst of a bietodY civil wan—st.td of
the Church, agitated every where, divided in Benton-at in
mans. places, and openly assailed by echi-in in o large
section of it; eounsehing also the duty which tine t•
bun& ' met in the name and by the authority of the glori
fied Saviour of sinners, who is Rho the Sovereign Ruler
of all things, owe to him our Head and Lord and to nit
fleck cemmitted to our charge, and to the people whom
we are commissioned to evangtlize, and to the civil au
thorities who exist by big appointment—do hereby, in
this deliverance, give utterance to our solemn convictions
and our deliberan judgment, touching the matters Iterate
set forth, that they way terve for the guidance of all,
over whom the Lord tihriet has given us any ollice of in
struction, oi any power of government.
1. Pence is nmong4 the very I ighest tomperalblessings
of the Church, a. well as of all mankind ;and public
order is One of the first necessities of the spiritual at well
as the civil commonwealth. Peace has been wickedly
superseded by war, in its worst form, throughout the
whole land ; and public order has been wickedly sup-r
-seded by rebellion, anarchy, and violence, ie the whole.
Southern portion of the Union. All this nae beau brought
to pees, old a disloyal mid traitorous attempt to over
throw the National Government by military force, and
to divide the nation, contrary to the wishes of the Im
mense nojetily of the pimeie in whom the local sovereignty
resided, even iu the States which revolted, ever authorized
any such pt ON tiling!. or even approved the fraud and
teems by which the horrible treason has achieved whatever
success! it has had. This %eh( le tr. asoo, rebellion, anarchy,
freed, and violence is utterly Contrary to the dictates of
nntural religion and morality, cud is plainly condemued
by the revealed will of G< d. It is the clear -and solemn
duty of the National Government to preserve, at what
ever cost, the national Union and Conetitution, to main
tain the laws in their supremacy, to crnelrforeet by force,
and to restore the reign of public order and peace to tee
entire nation, by whatever lawful means that aro amas
sers thereunto. And it is the bounden ditty of all peo
ple who compose this great nation—each one in his
several place and degree—to uphold the Federal
Government, and °vet y 81410 GOVeraMent, and all per
sons in authority, whether civil or military, in all their
lawful and proper acte, unto the 'end. hereinbefore set
forth.
11. The Church of Christ has no authority from him to
make rebellion, or to conneel treason, or to fever attar
chi', in any case whatever. On the contrary, every fol
lower of Christ hats the personal liberty bestowed on him
by Christ, to eubmit, for the sake of Christ, according to
his own conscientious sense of duty, to whatever Govern
ment, however bad; under 'which hie lot may be cast.
But, while patient suffering for Christ'e sake can never bs
elnfol, treason, rebellion, and anarchy may be sluful—
n oet generally, perhaps, aro sinful, and probably are at
ways and necessarily sinful In al] free countries, where
the power to ehange the Government by voting, in
the place of force, exists as s common right, con
stitntionelly teemed to the people who are . sove
reign. If in any case treason, rebellion, and
anarchy can possibly be sinful, they we so in
-the case now desolating large cortioter of this nation, and
laying waste great numbers of Christian congregations,
and fatally obstructing every good word and work in
those regions. To the Christian people scattered through
out those important regions, and who hare been left of
God to have an, mild hand in bringing on these terrible
calamities, we earnestly address word, of exhortation
and rebuke, ne unto brethren who have Binned exceed
ingly, and. whom God calls to repentance by fearful
jedgmeuts. To thous in like circumstances, who
aro not chargeable with the sins which have
brought such calamities upon the land, but who
have chosen), in the exercise of their Christian li
berty, to stand in. their lot and suff-r, we ad
dress words of affectionate sympathy, praying God to
bring them off connectors. To those in like eircum
mowers, who have taken their lives in their hands and
risked all for their country, and for conscience sake, we
ear we love such with all our heart, and bless God, such
witnesses were found in the time of thick darkness. We
fear, and we record with great grief, that the Chun% of
God and the Christian people, to a great extent, and
throughout. all the zerolted States, bare 'done many
th , nge that ought not to have been done, and have left
undone much that ought to have been done, In this time
of trial, rebuke, and blasphemy.
Concerning the wide.spread seldom which Is reported
to have occurred in many Southern Synods, this As
sembly will take no action at this time. It declares,
however, its fixed purpose, under all possible circum
stances, to labor for the extension and permanent main
tenance of the Church under its care in everreart of the
United States. Schism, so far as it may exist, we hope
to see healed. If that cannot be, it will be disregarded.
111. We record our gratitude to God for the prevailing
unanimity of sentiment and general internal peace,
which has cbarecterized the Church in the States which
have tot Torches], embracing a great majority of the mi
nisters, congregations and people under our care. It may
still be called, with emphasis, a loyal, orthodox and pious
church ; and all its acts and won ky indicate its right to a
title to noble. Let It strive for Divine grace to malutalit
that good • Te1)01 t. In some respects the interests of the
°hatch of Gcd are very eifferent from those of all civil
lemitutiot s. Whatever may befal this, or any other
nation, the . Church of •Chriat most abide on earth
hiumphaut over even the gates of hell. It is, there
fore, of supreme- importance . that the Church
should guard itself from internal alienations
end on,, founded upon questleue and interests
that are external as to her, 'and which ought not by
their necessary working cause her fate to depend on the
fate of things less important and lees enduring than her
self. Disturber, of the Church ought net to be alitiated_.
especially disturbers of the Church in States that never
revolted, or that have been cleared of armed rebels—
dieturbers who, under many false, pretexts, may promote
discontent, dieloyalty, and general -alienation—tending
to the unsettling of ministers, to local schisms, and
to manifold-'trouble. Let a spirit of quietness,
of mutual forbearance, and of ready obedience
to .auttanity, both evil and ecclesiastical, illostrate
the loyally, the orthodoxy, Mid the piety of the Church.
It is mete especially to ministers of the GoattelL--and
among them particularly; to any whose first imPreasione
