France, England, and America. As regards statements in French news papers relating to the pretended communica tions between Mr. Slidell and the Imperial Cabinet, and to pretended revelations from M. Thocvenel, or Count Fersiohy, that France had offered to recognize the South, but that England refused, all we need say may be expressed in two words—disbelieve them. French diplomacy is not in the habit of pre maturely disclosing its action. The news under the head « France,” in the telegraphed summary by the Nova Scotia, in cludes this sentence: “ Mr. Slidell had an in terview with M. Thol-yenel subsequent to bis audience withthe Emperor,and M. Thouvexel is asserted to have alleged that the unwilling ness of England was the principal reason why France did not at once interfere in American matters.” Here are two statements. The first affirms that Mr. Slidell bad had an audience with the Emperor Napoleon. On the con trary, he has never been received by the Em peror. The second implies that France had communicated with England on the subject of recognizing «the so-called Southern Confede racy.” On the contrary, in a debate in the: British Parliament, oa 'the 6th fast., Lord Bussell, then the mouthpiece of the Govern ment, declared, not only that the envoy of the Southern States had never been officiaEy re ceived in England,sut that « no communica tion from any foreign Power stating any wish or making any proposition with regard to the recognition of the Southern States of Ameri ca, had been received by himself,” the Foreign Secretary of England. He added that the: policy of England was to continue in the strictest neutrality, and that hitherto, there had been an intimate and unreserved commu nication on this point between England and France, without a difference of opinion be tween them on this , subject in any instance. It appears, therefore, that the reports in the French papers, probably paid for by Slide'll, are wholly untrue. ! The plain fact is—Lord Bussell is keen-, sighted enough to see what Talleyrand called the beginning of the end. He has had the advantage of Lord Lyons’ personal experience and observation in Washington, and our news papers would also satisfy him that our Union is riot to be overthrown by the rebellion.of the minority. He has learned by this time that it is the .purpose of our Government and our people to continue the war to a successful issue, pe has probably wondered at the miracle of having had the contest maintained, a 3 it has been, without borrowing money from foreign money-dealers. He cannot anticipate any other result than the early and triumphant conclusion of the war. Indeed, others have arrived at the same conviction. .On the'occa sion mentioned, Lord Kinosdown, (long known in the Commons and at the bar as one of the ablest lawyers-in England,) summed up Lord Bussell’s opinion by staling that “the noble Earl had expressed a confident belief that in the space of two or three months the dispute between the North and South would be so far settled that any interference on the part ef the Legislature in the meantime would be prejn-_ dicial rather than advantageous.” For himself,' Lord Kingsdown added, “If this country [England] were to recognize the independence of the Souths the right to blockade the ports ot the Sonth would remain, and Interference on onr part with that blockade would probably 6e followed by a war with the United States .” This is the truth, and it is something to fipdit spoken in the British Parliament. The canards of French journalism, fa favor of the South, are contemptible by Yhe aide of thfa piairi gobd’sense; ” : T* ■ ■■ . Masonic Literature * At all times the “ outside barbarians” who have not been initiated have been extremely curious as to the secrets, the rites, and the ordinances of Free Masonry. The world knows nothing of these, ex cept by report, but. desires to know a great deal. The secrets have been well kept, which is attribu ted to the fact that the fair sex are not admitted into “ Hie craft.” Onoe upon a time, however, a woman was initiated, passed through the degrees of entered apprentice and "fellow-craft up to that of master mason, and—wonderful to say!—did not blab. The current tradition is that, about a hun dred years ago, the wife of Mr. Aid worth, of New Market, in the county of Cerk; Ireland, having all jthe curiosity attributed to her sex, secreted herself In a clock oase in one of a Masonic Lodge then, as now, held in Feshamble Lane, in the oity of Cork, surreptitiously saw and heard what it was not intended that woman’s, eyes and ears should observe, was discovered in. her concealment, and, at the suggestion of her own husband, was duly initiated into the Order. We have seen her por trait in the Lodge Boom, in Cork, and ean only say that the story hasbeen generally accepted as true among Irish and .British masons. It is proper to add that, as far as we know, there is no actual pro hibition of woman’s being a free-masoh, and there is nothing in the discipline, ceremonials, purpose, or mysteries of Masonry which the most virtuous female might not take part in. Masonry, besides Its antiquity, and its having constantly provided suitable places for the public worship of Hod, from Soleuon’s temple down to the stately cathedrals of Europe and the less imposing saored fabrics of modern times, is worthy of all commendation, as a religious, moral, and charitable institution. It has been truly said, that “it is impossible for a good mason to be a bad man.” The whole ritual, so to say, is drawn from Holy Writ, and simplicity and sublimity are united in it. Besides, its constitution expressly places it above political, sectarian, and partisan influences. Some of the best-informed masons are members of the Jewish persuasion, which may be accounted for by tbeir familiarity with the Old Testament, fronfwhich the various degrees in Masonry proper are drawn. In Phila delphia, Mr. H. M, Phillips and Mr. Oustavus Ro mak are understood to be as good masons, at least, aa any others—those gentlemen are Jews. Prom time to time, books, professing to reveal the secrets of the Masonic craft, have been pub lished. They may be briefly characterised as con taining a mixture of truth and falsehood, faet and guess-work. We doubt whether any Mason has been so base as seriously to reveal what was con fided to him under a very solemn obligation of se crecy. There has just been pubtished, by L. Fitz gerald, New York, a “ Monitor of Freo-Mssonry,” purporting to have been written by one Jabez Richardson, A. M., and to explain all the oerems- Eials, signs, token, grips, .passwords, ftc., us-d by Masons. It is doubtful whether Riobardson be not a nom de plume. His preface commences with stating, as an established fact, that one William Morgan, of Western-New York, was kidnappedand murdered, thirty-five years ago, by some Free masons who were angry with him for writing a hook disclosing the secrets of the craft. The fact was, we believe, that Morgan ran away to avoid paying his debts, and went to Canada, where he was seen years after the time when a false rumor of his death by violence was seat round by a political party op posed to Masonry. Farther on, Mr. Richardson, who, on his own Showing, conld not have disclosed the myteries of Masonry without committing per jury, thus justifies the orime: “ And as I have always looked upon our secret ceremonies and oaths as but the relics of a past age, and continued merely to preserve the ostensible antiquity of the institu tion rather than to bind onr consciences, Ido not hesitate to make them public.” A pretty apology for perjury—if Richardson had been a reality, and if his revelations were true. The “ Monitor,” as we have stud, contains a mix ture of truth and falsehood—of exaggeration and omission. Our readers may desire to know what are the true parts of its pages. That is precisely what we decline telling them. The book will give them a sort of idea of Masonic oeremonials, but it can teach them nothing practical. Let any man commit the whole , hook to memory and attempt, on that, to enter into a Mason’s lodge, without be ing a Mason, and his failure will be signal. With jU this, Richardson’s “Monitor” is a curious book, liberally illustrated, neatly printed and bound, and marvellously cheap for fifty cento. Even were it true, it shows the religious oharaoter of Masonry. As it is, it will amuse the craft as well as the public. * Bicharieen’s Monitor of Free-Hasonry; being a Practical Guide to the Ceremonies to all Use Degrees conferred in Masonic Lodges, Chapters, Encampments, Ac., explaining the signs, tokens, and grips, and giving aU Ibe words, pass-words, sacred words, oaths, and hieroglyphics used i>y Masons.

This place has again become a scene of life, after quietly sleeping since the late siege, garrisoned only by a few regimenta. Many as are Us memo ries, its more tangible Revolutionary associations ate, in a measure, destroyed. The old English re doubts, which resisted the combined American and Freneh forces, have been enlarged by the rebels “I® l no fariger as they were, and a white mar ble monument, denoting the place of surrender by Cornwallis to Washington, has been destroyed both by the rebels and our own troops, who broke off fragments as memorials. Still, the quaint old Re-. vblutionary houses of dark brick are of interest, cfcnspiouous among whtoh standß that of General Nelson, who, thonghnot prominent as a military leader, figures grandly in the Virginia annals of that day as a patriot, a college trustee, and all aorta of respectable things. No hotel exists here at present. Tbe only accommodations procurable are the house of a Mr. Maliiker, formerly oolleotor iff the port, who ooeupies an old whitewashed house ot last oentury, in which! according to Southern style, the parlor is the'oniy carpeted room. An atyieot of coolness is economically obtained by an almost total absence of furniture, and by bare floors and walls, fa all the bedrooms, in the entry, ted on the staircase. For this, with bread without butter, and coffee without milk, a guest is charged $2.60 per day. Onr ex-collector makes hay while the sun shines. People might ask what a silent Did relic of the past like Yorktown wanted with a oolleotor. Foreign vessels wonld occasionally dome, in ballast, tolake in lumber from a sawmill Ijiurd-by, and theooHeotor, through these, pooketed eight hundred dollars a year for twenty-five dollars Worth of work. The town is about seven miles from the mouth of the beautiful York river, and was a place of considerable trading importance before the Revolution, large quantitiesof tobacco, lumber, 4nd cotton being shipped from it landings. The tobacoo and corn circumjacently produced, now finds its market at Richmond, and the growth of cotton is discontinued. The river is two miles wide to Gloucester, the point opposite, and floats the largest vessels within forty feet of the beach. It is abundantly'navigable to West Point, thirty miles up, where a bar ooours upon which there is but fourteen feet of water at high tide. Beyond this vesselß of moderate tonnage can proceed within sixteen miles of Riohmorid. The blnff upon which Yorktown stands is about seventy-five feet in height. The formidable defenoes lately erected by the rebels, arid those still more so dug by Mo piellan’s wearied soldiers, are, like their old brethren of Revolutionary days, peacefully covered With grass, and the home of the clover-flower, the buttercup, and the daisy. Children play upon them, arid men repose gratefully upon their broad parapets, to oontomplate in peace the noble river find its shores. VISIT TO WILLIAMSBURG. * Tjrelre milesinland,ina north westerly direotion, h Williamsburg, the anoieat capital of the State, ‘and the scone of sundry historical incidents. Fond Virginians hare written pretty novels upon its faded days, in whieh purple ooats, bagwigs, and gorgeous crimson smalls are enwreathefl senten tioualy, with memories of Lordßotetourt, Governor Fanquier,and other pompons beings of the day, whom four-horse coaches rendered wonderfully fine, in the eyes of negroes and the vulgar. In the broad gabte-roofed old - houses, parties were given in. pre-revolutionary days, that formed the staple of small talk for long after years. Proud little maidens in high, powdered head-dresses, with hoop ed and stately mammas, road with liveried ser vants and pranoing horses to the door, aooompanied by gaily-bedizened gallants, whose steeds onrvet ted by their carriages. Low bows and ceremo nious receptions followed, and the ladies arranged themselves on seats upon one side of the room, aad the gentlemen upon the other. A couple then danced a minuet, while the company looked on, hored or interested, as the case might be. Counfry dances and Virginia reels ensued, bat little conver sation took place ; nobody had anything to say in those days. The yonng men talked horse, and the young women nothing. Neither ever read a book, and vacant brains, still inatimutated by .thp opera or concerts, gained ideas only from wandering ■ tronpea of “ his majesty’s servants,” who gave oo eatioual representations of Congreve Wycherley, or fihsispeare. Society was then far less lively than in a modern frontier village of the West, and thpi d *“*p nf until iratrfbk Henry thundered forth his first Revolutiona ry anathema at the -old Raleigh tavern. Then men talked savagely of their “ rights,” and women, like pretty Seoesh dames, at present, awoke to thought, and grew energetically vituperative. A general curling np took place, which culminated in a fight, when men selfishly battled for their'own li berty, and denied it to their fellow slaves. A brighter day is now dawning for these-last; the old will be again replaced by the new ; all men will be free; the withering corse of a monstrous crime will vanish from the soil, and the land awake to a brilliant and energetic life. THE RALEIGH TAVERN. The famous old Baleigh Tavern was burned three yoaxs ago. and is replaced by a pretentious brick store, erected by one Vf. yf. Vest, who has closed It and joined the rebel army. The tavern was of wood, and whitewashed. The village consists prin oijally of one street, three-quarters of a mile long, and shaded with trees. This Main street is lined with old houses, of last eentnry’s date, varied by one handsome modern dwelling of brick, built by 'a Mr. Lemuel Bowden, who has raised himself from poverty by the profession of law, and is a good Union man. The ancient Episcopal church, together with that of the Baptists’ and of the Methodists’, are ail closed, and were lately nsed as hospitals, together with the Lunatic Asylum, and the new oourt house, and other buildings. The quaint little old oourt boose, where Patrick Henry often electrified his hearers, was, after the battle of Williamsburg, the painful scene of dying rebels, whose blood yet stains the floor. The desk of the judges, and table of the elerk,are of unpainted pine wood, and a railing and mantelpiece of date colored hue add to the dingy dreariness of the lo cality. The bare, whitewashed walls defaced by • squadron of Cameron Dragoons, stationed in the town, sod the floors sre strewn with filth and rubbish. The old (so called) (Wernor’s Palace stands considerably back from .Main street, and is fronted by a oommon. The centre has been burned. The’two low-storied brick wings are inhabited severally by Mrs. Charles Coleman and Mtb. dames Semple. COLLEGE OF WILLIAM AND HAST, At one end of Main street stands the famed col lege of William and Mary, founded in 1693, and completed in 1723. It was partially destroyed by fire four years ago, but has been built with the same dark-brick materials, mid nearly according to the old plan. It thus preserves its ancient aspect. It is a-small affair, numbering only ten rooms ,on both stories of the front building, and has two wings projecting at back, one of which contains a simple little chapel, and the other, sundry offices. Among, toe alumni were Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, John Randolph, John J. Crittenden, and Winfield Scott. Among the insignificant names, may he numbered his late accidental Excellency and subsequent rebel, John Tyler, now gathered to hisfathers. In front of toe college .stands a statue of Lord Botetourt, in hag-wig and smalls, erected in 1773. The nose has been long broken, and toe back and head are fantastically variegated with creeping vines. The inscription sets forth that toe' Right’ Honorable Norborne Berkeley, Baron de Botetourt, was his Majesty’s late lieutenant, and Governor Genera l of the oniony and dominion of Virginia, and that too General Assembly of Vir ginia resolved upon this' statue tm his memory in 1771. RELICS AND CHRONICLES OF PAST GLORY. From a history of toe college, lying on a mass of rubbish, I gather the following quaint old records: “ At a meeting of ye President and Masters of William and Mary .College, Bepr ye 14th, 1752, present, . Ye Rev. Mr. Stith, President, Ye following orders were unanimously agreed to. ” “1. Ordered, Yt no scholar belonging to any school in the college of what age, rank, or quality soever, do keep any race horse at ye college in ye town, or anywhere in the neighbourhood. Ytthey be not anyway coheerned in making races, « in baeking or abetting those made by others, and yt all race horses kept in ye neighbourhood of ye col lege and belonging to any of ye scholars, be imme diately dispatohed and sent off, and never again brought back, and all this under pain of ye severest animadversion and punishment.’’ “2. Ordered, Yt no scholar belonging to ye col lege of what age, rank, or quality soever, or where soever redding within or without ye college, do presume to appear playing or betting at ye billiard or other gaming tables, or be any way concerned in keeping or fighting cooks, under parnof ye like severe animadversions or punishment. (Signed) WILLIAM STITH ” “Jany. ye 14,1754- Resolved, Yt a person be appointed to hear such boys as shall be recommend ed by theirparents or guardians, a ebapter in the Bible every school-day, at 12 o'clock, and yt he have ye yearly salary of one pistole for each boy SO recommended.” “ Sept. 7th, 1754. The college allows only to the sick, tea to be made and sent by the house-keeper, and wine-whey.” “April 2d, 1756. Ys day Bebj. Franklin, Es quire, favored ye society with his company,-and had ye Degree of A, M. conferred upon him by ye Rev. G. Dawson, A. M., President, to whom he was in puhliok presented by the Rev. William Preston, A. M.” “Maroh 24th, 1756. Resolved, Yt yeyonne-gen tlemen, when they leave the Grammar School, shall be obliged to appear in academical dress.” “ June Resolved, That Mrs. Fester be appointed stocking-mender in the college, and that she be paid annually the sum of twelve pounds, provided she furnish herselfwith'ledginz, diet, fire, andcandies." “ March 2d, 1768. Resolved, that ain advertise ment be inserted in the Gazette to inform the pub lic that the college is now olear of small-pox.” “May 38,1771. Jtesolved unanimously, that a negro woman belonging to his late Excellency's (Lord Botetourt), estate, be purchased for the use of the college, if to be had at a moderate prioe,” The college is now ocoupied by the quartermaster's department as ’ a storehouse, and the two houses of professors cm each side, are the present homes of Gen, Potter, commanding the post, and his officers. Williamsburg has now no hotel. A Btranger in search of abed, must sleep'in a tent, or ask lodg ing at a private house, which he probably would not get. If needing a dinner he procures it of a negro family, who win furnish him coffee, corn dodgers, and ham, without milk or butter, and give him, by way of Side-dishes, as many anecdotes of the citizens as he needs. The woman who waited on me had been rbceutly a slave to one Dr. Wm. Martin, of Powhatan, who often had bis negroes cruelly whipped, till the blood streamed from their baeks. He took her son to Riobmond and sold him to the South, without apprising her, “and do Lord he know where he gone!” said the poor woman, “ I 'fraid I never'see him again.” One Dr. Waller was, also, mentioned, as being exceedingly cruel, and treating his people brutally; both flogging and starving them. PROFESSOR BAUNBERS. A Professor Saunders, onoe of William and Mary College, and more recently president of the York River Railroad, has also an indifferent reputation for cruelty to his slaves. He took the majority of them to Richmond, but a few lately escaped. Two of his barns near Williamsburg were burned yes terday, which were said to have been fired by M 3 returned slaves. We have here cases of cruelty to negroes, not by the lower class of owners, to which maltreatment is said to have been oonfined, but by that grade of individuals claiming to be gentlemen and kind masters. A man in Williamsburg told me that for a long time he lost consciousness from a blow of a olub, administered by Us master, Dr. David S. Cole, and that his back was covered with soars from floggings. But these facts are no novel ties. I cite them merely as an offset to the asser tions of wiseaores that slaves are happy in their bondage. I have always found the contrary. TROOPS OK THE MARCH* My first right of troops on the march from Har rison’s Landing, as I left Yorktown, were two com panies of Rush’s Lancers, under Captain Hazelline, whose red pennons created.a 'pretty effect at a dis tance, and relieved the extreme uglineas of our army uniform. They have not yet had a chance to test the effeot of their laaoes. At the late battle of Gaines’ Bill a oharge was made by a sqnadrpn against a body of rebels, but the latter immediately broke and Tan, and no stomaohs were punched. Following the: Lancers came Sykes’ di vision of regulars and volunteers. AU were dressed alike, in army blue; all ssemed of equally good material; all were white with dust; all looked jaded, and many inquired, with emphatic interest, the distance to Yorktown. I met this division, Fitz John Porter’s, and Sedgwick’s for miles along the road fo Wil.iamsburg, followed by long trains of wagonsaud numerous stragglers, who had weari edly seated themselves to rest, arid finally pursued their way. Among the various brigads generals, Butterfield was the only one I met who exclusively employed negroes as wagoners. It may not be known that at least 20,000 men of McClellan’s are detailed as wagoners, officers’ servants, oooks, hos pital stewards, &0., who might readily be replaced by negroes, leaving them at liberty to fight. TMs fact should be considered. JOHN TYLER’S HOUSE. An officer informed me that on the road from Harrison's Landing to Williamsburg, he had called on several Secession ladies whom he formerly knew. He was reoeived with much cordiality. Among these was Mrs. John Tyler, who was rick in her room, arid conld not see him, bat he was sociably entertained by her step-daughter, Miss Tyler All these ladies regretted the war, but were too courteous to express bitterness, altbongh two of them, Mrs. John Nelson and Mrs. Dr. Upßhaw, had had two vaosnt houses broken into by marauding stragglers, and their furniture smashed. Miss Tyler introduced a young lady relative aa an ac complished singer, who thereupon favored him •with several “ patriotic ,f Secession songs, as “My Maryland,’ 1 ({ Dixie,’ l and others,thro wing vigorous strets upon all anathemas against “invaders,” “ruthless minions,” &q. MARAUDING. The late orders of Pope have stimulated a ten dency to marauding in the army, from which Mc- CieUan’s soldiers are, by no means, exempt. Par ties of stragglers would drop off to rest, and whea the main body was out of sight, would oommence operations. The contents of many vacated houses were ruined, and the huts of negroes, in ohaige of them, ransacked for eatables. One colored girl had her trunk broken open, and the sham jewelry taken out, whieh, the men announced, was to be given to “ their girls at home.” In many cases most unfeel ing conduct was shown. A delicate woman, who acknowledged that her husband and son were in the rebel army, had her only cow taken from her, whieh was the sole support of her infant. She begged them to leave it, and stated its necessity but to no purpose. It was driven away. Cases occurred where mules were' seized and carried off by the infantry soldiers, who could not possibly use them, but, after leading the animate some mites, east them loose. Cattle were driven off, and then relinquished in the same manner. Fruit, poultry and com were taken unremittingly. Charles City court house was wantonly ransacked, and old deeds dating back to 1870 scattered by the road side. Prayer books and Bibles from churches were also taken and thrown away. The first victim to marauding I met was a small farmer named Wm. H. Charles, four miles from Williamsburg, who said he had but half an hour before had a.dozen turkeys taken by soldiers. He showed them his protection as a Union man given by the provost marshal, hut they told him that “ protections were played out” and walked ceolly off with their booty. The house and grounds were a picture of slave-State shiftlessnesa. His wife, un der the combined influence of her loss and of fever and ague, looked particularly solemn; a grown girl, with unoombed hair, gazed vacantly at me from a broken window pane, and her smiling ohild sister, completed the gronp. Wishing to satisfy myself further on the subjeot, I stopped at a de serted house, near which was a dilapidated negro hut. An old negro man- hobbled inside with rheu matism, and his wife had her jaws tied np with a chronic faceaohe. Her late master had joined the rebel army, and his family had gone elsewhere. “Have youfsuffered from our soldiers in any" way?” said I. “Yes, master. I planted dis little field of corn last spring, mid paid my money to have am plowed. Be earn is giftin’’ nice and ripe, and de soldiers cum dis' mornin’ and begin to take um.” “ What did you say to them ?” “I say, please, gentlemen, don’t take my com; my ole woman here been laid up for two year; I got no money—no notin’, and dis corn all I got to ’pend on inde oold wedder.” “ What did they reply?” “Dcy tell me, ‘ G—d d—n you, don’t yon talk to me,’ and took um jes de same; some tried to: stop de rest, and some left off, but dey took a good deal, and de Lord he knows how I git along!”' Houbbs are scarce upon the roads of the Peninsula, and the few that exist are ehiefiy deserted; bat two miles farther brought me to a very respectable old farmer, named Willis Wotton, who before the war was well off in worldly goods. Upon being questioned, he said that he had lost more than $20,000 by the rebellion. His fourteen slaves had escaped to Fortress Monroe; his horses and cattle had been taken by the rebels, and ius ' poultry and fence-rails by our men. A house he owned on a neighboring farm had also been fired by them last spring. The robelahad, moreover,, compelled three of his sons to enter their army, and “the Lord knows where they are,” arid the old man, as his voice filled, and his eyes filled with tears. “ I tun an old man; I have not a tooth in my head, and am unfit to do any work. How I shall live I don’t know. I have hat this boy and my. grandson left, and have not a eent ii the world.” His wifo then chimed in, “ I’ve done all I could to borrow a horse, but oan’t find one, and we are ail at our wits’ ends to get along. The Union soldiers came this morning, tooks our hens and turkeys, knocked their heads off against a tree, and walked off. 1 Ain’tyou going to pay for them,’ said I, and they told me to get my money from Jeff Davis.” The old gentleman was a fat, easy soul, and was much to be pitied. Comparatively speak ing, bat few Northern farmers would repine long, if they owned his broad tract of bad, with ail the facilities he possessed for procuring marl and muck, both of which abound in that section. The old gentleman must now hire his labor, as Northern farmers do. His case is no worse than theirs. Some way should be found by officers for having all stragglers watched. A sergeant should be de tailed to watch them. Their proceedings are dis graceful. Rebel speakers and writers have, how ever, done much to promote their conduct. The eatch-words of “mudsills,” “ Lincoln’s hirelings,” Ac.,are well treasured up, and brought out on oc casion. A rush upon' turkeys is made with a« go it, Lincoln’s hirelings!” “Mudsills, pitoh in!” “ Seise ’em, vandals!” “ We’ll show ’em what the scum can do!” And thua has.the rebel rhodomon tade brought its fruit. In this once prosperous I traversed the main road from Yorktown to Williamsburg and back, without seeing a single citizen upon its track. Soldiers, soldiers, and still soldiers. Where they were not, was silence, empty hovels, fenceless fields, overgrown with weeds, And desolation. N. COLORS*.

APTAIRS ALONG TUB liORDEH. ‘ The newß received at this post during the last few weeks indicates an intention on the part of the rebels in Missouri to enter upon an active fail cam paign, and that the operations will be almost ex clusiveiy conducted by guerilla parties. The Missouri Secesh combine cowardice with ferocity, and, while at all tildes ready to commit the most atrocious outrages on defenceless men, they dis band and return to their homes on the approach of an armed force, and when at home are either loud in professions of loyalty, or else whine out that they have “ took no part in the fight either way.” Colonel Weer, 10th Kansas Volunteers, in a re cent skirmish with “bushwhackers,” near Fort Soott, captured their leader, Colonel Clarkson. This man Clarkson was postmaster at Fort Leaven worth during Fierce’s and'Buehacan’s administra. tions. He was one of the most violent and unscru pulous of the border ruffians during the Btauggle for freedom of 1856-’57. Among the papers captured with him is an order from rebel General Earl Van Dorn, instructing Clarkson to raise what force he could, and station himself at points between Kansas City and the western forts, and to sense the mails, trains, etc., and “ and annoy the enemy in every possible manner.” A letter from S- H. Calhoun, long a Government employee, solicits the position of quartermartor in Clarkson’s Regiment, and says: “It has been a long-cherished object with, me to go once more intolCansas with fire and sword!” Clarkson is now a prisoner here, but will probabfy be exchanged,’ or, perhaps, released on parole. Whit a mockery of war this is ! Here we have an old Government officer, taken in arms against the Union he has re peatedly sworn to defend, and commanding a dis organized force of rebel assassins, and we give the same treatment that would he accorded to fo reign prisoners of war. It aeema truly lamentable that such criminate must be so kindly treated. Our philanthropic English friends would blow him from the cannon’s month. General Blunt, commanding the department, has taken the field, with a force of about 7,000 men two regiments of which are Indians. His administra tion of affairs thus far has been a complete sucoess, aad demonstrates the'propriety of having a Kansas man at the head'of Kansas affairs. GEN. LANE AND RECRUITING!, General Jim Lane is onoe more actively engaged in war matters. He has appointed sub-commis sioners of recruiting, and will doubtless succeed in raieing many men. His energy is wonderful, and his influence on a Kansas crowd is almost un bounded. Lane laoks order, regularity, and me thod. If he could combine these qualities with hi a natural shrewdness and untiring industry, he would have far better success. As it is, he is too apt to usurp powers not delegated to him, and the natural remit is a conflict of authority, entailing confusion on everything he touches. One grand trait of Gen. Lane is that he makes no effort to enrich himself. His bitterest enemies can point to no act of his which would deplete the treasnryfor his own profit. He oertainly has done an immense amount of work at very trifling expense to the General Government, and the fact that he is now a poor man , though he has had countless opportunities to amass wealth at the cost of the United States treasury, is an evi dence of rectitude and integrity which might well be emulated among men making higher claims to morality, and in districts boasting a purer civiliza tion than this troubled Kansas border. L. Partisanship Rebuked—Correspondence between Mr. Seward and Francis TV. Hughes. The Bulletin of yesterday says: Mr. Francis W. Hughes, who is evidently in love with the offspring he has lately produoed as chairman of the Demo cratic State Central Committee, has thought proper to send them to Mr. Seward, the Secretary of State, asking his opinion of them, and requesting’him to use his Influence with the President to induoe him to follow the line of policy there laid down. Se cretary Seward sends him a most courteous and dignifiedjrcply,'containing, however, a very proper rebuke: LETTER OF MR. HUGHES. Heauquabtehs of the Democratic State Central Committee of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, August 11,1862. Holt. William H, Seward, Secretary of State: Deau Sib; With some hesitation X take the liberty of enclosing to you three documents—viz: The Address of the Democratic State Central Committee of this State, an address this day issued by myself as ehairman, and the form ef a call for a grand mass meeting, about to be held in this city. Allow me to say that the address of the commit tee has been much assailed- by leading and influ ential journals, conducted by those who claim to be your political friends. Tbe denunoiation has been so decided as to pronounce it treasonable. Whether or not it is treasonable, yon can best determine If you read it. It is lengthy, and may take up too much of your time, but the address issued by my self this day is comparatively short, and as it states positions sufficiently to determine the character of the former, it will relieve you of labor if you will read the letter. As toe address of too committee, as well as that by myself, ss chairman, are both from my own pen, I should bear the greater part of whatever reproach should attach to their publication. Still, allow mo to assure you that they contain toe sentiments of not less than three hundred thousand of toe men of Pennsylvania, and I believe of over one million of men in the eentral States of New Jersey, Pennsyl vania, New York, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. I will add, too, that 1 believe there is no other mil lion of men in toe whole country of more devoted patriotism and loyalty. I will add, too, that I believe this million of men Will, amid political changes, remain patriotic and loyal. If you will read one or both of the enclosed addresses, and if,' in Trito-the facts I have stated in regard to their supporters, it'Will stimulate you or servo you in any degree to pro mote a policy on toe part of toe Administration of President Lincoln to put down toe demon of Abo litionism, my so!e object in addressing you -this (perhaps presumptuous) note shall be more than abundantly obtained At all events, rest assured that I address you with toe profound respect due your high personal and official character. F. W. Hughes. RESPONSE OF SECRETARY SEWARD. _ Department of State, Washington, August 19, 1862. To F.W. Hughes, Hsq, r Headquarters of the Democratic State Central Committee of Penn sylvania, Philadelphia: Dear Sir : I have had toe honor of receiving your letter of toe 14th inat. together with the three papers to which it refers, two of them being appeals written by yourself, and addressed by toe Demo cratic State Central Committee “ to too Democrats and all other friends of toe Constitution in Penn sylvania,” and the other being a call for a mass meeting of the citizens of Philadelphia, toe objects of which meeting will be “to, express a firm purpose to stand by the maintenance of the National Con stitution vrito devotion to the Amerioan Union,” and, further, “to declare hostility to the policy and measures of all who seek' to prostitute the country to -toe purposes of Abolitionism, and formally to express the intention of toe Democratic party to do aa it has always hitherto done, namely, to support toe Federal Government in the exercise of its con stitutional power, and to defend it, at whatever peril, against the insidious and treasonable teachings of Abolitionists.” You tell me that some influential journals, con ducted by political friends of mißo, censure one of these papers as treasonable, and that toe others are conceived in toe same spirit with toe one whieh is so hanhiy judged. You desire me to read them and weigh them for myself. You further intimate a hope that toe perusal of the papers will have the effect of producing exertions on my part to induce toe President to fovor a policy to put down the de mos of Abolitionism. I have read the documents tons submitted'to me, with a high respect for toe authority by which they were issued, and with a full confidence in the sin cerity of toe devotion to the Union whiob, as their author, you have avowed. You will allow me to say that this nation is now engaged, not in a political canvass between op posing parties about questions of civil administra tion, but In a civil war, carried on by opposing armies on mi issue of national life or death. If toe revolution prevail there will be no ques tions of administration left to settle. If it fall there will be time enough te settle all suoh ques tions. 1 am not to dictates course for others to pursue in this crisis. But I must say for myself, that neither as a public officer, nor as a citizen, can I know 1 , with favor or disfavor, parties among the supporters of the United States, any more than I can make a distinction between factions which unite in aiding the rebellion. A nation, like Jan individual, can do only one thing: effectually at one time. It oaanot wisely turn aside from the ebase.of the fearful Demon of Disunion, to pursue any inferior demon, whether imaginary or real. 2 think that the wrangles which occurred among the Crusaders about their respective creeds, when they sat down to the siege of Jerusalem, were just as rational and just as wise as disputes about Abo lition would now be in the Army of the Potomac in front of Richmond. What Is unwise in the camp at each a moment cannot be wise in the Cabinet or in tiie assemblies of the people. I.am occupied here either in mediating between differing parties and jealous sects, or else In watch ing and counteracting the intrigues of traitors in Europe. But I sometimes think that if, instead of being charged with these duties, I were at liberty, as you seem to be, to serve the country in my own way, leould make an appeal to Democrats and Repnblioans,-Afceiitianists and Slaveholders, m be half of our distracted country, that-would bring the whole people at once under arms, and send treason reeling back into- the den'of darkness from whence it sprung. Ido not know how this would be, but I do know that if I were in your place, I should try. I am, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, Wna-iAJt H. Seward.

The Rebel Army to Evacuate Richmond aad Occupy the Line of the Virginia Central Railroad—Jackses to Attack Pope’s Right Flank. Pootsvittß, Montgomery County, Md.. - August 18, 1862. I have some important news for you. A few days’ ia teramrse with the Secessionists of this neighborhood has enabled me lo discover that an exteneive contraband communication with the rebel lines is kept up in e*h quarter. Score* of Marylanders are daily pausing through tn route for Richmond, to escape the draft, and ocoa sionally a return trip is made by citizens who have been in Jeff Davis’ dounmona since the beginning or the war. I understand they cross the river Bomewhere between Edwards’ Ferry and Point of Bocks, and from theaoe are smuggled through to Lnray, whencatherouteis open to the Virginia Central Bail road, via the south fork of the Shenandoah. There are no Union troop, on tide route, the nearest forces bring at Harper’s Ferry and Win cheater. The following narration was given me by a civilian, who arrived from Bichraond on the night of Sunday, the 17th tost. He left Bicbmocd on Wednesday, the Utia instant, travelling to Saxton’s Junction, tweaty-eevaa miles north of the city, by a private conveyance; thence by railroad to GordonsriUe, and thence on foot to the Po tomac. At the time he left troops were pouring out of too city on the Virginia Central Bsitroad in such a um bers that it was impossible tor civilians to procure pas sage. Allot toe troops around Richmond were to mo tion towards the North—some by rail and some raarch ing—while others wore passing through to cars from th* South, supposed to be that part of toe army between Pe tersburg and the city. It waa known at that time McClellan had begun too evacuation of Harriaon’aLandtog; and ton heavy non. meats of the rebel troopa were understood to be caused by toe knowledge on the part of the military authorities that toe Union armies were about concentrating tor another campaign against the rebel capital from the northward. It was not known that any canriderabta body of troops were left on the Peninsula to watch Mc- Clellan’s movements or to attack his rear. Arriving at Sexton’s Junction the narrator saw beevy encampments of troopa extending from the sonth side of toe Pamuokey river to several miles north of toe Jura tion, and also from toe Junction to a westerly direction up tho.vslloy of toe Forth Anna river. Small oampe were visible at several localities along the railroad from the Junction to toe crossing of toe common road from Fredericksburg and Spottaylvania, where another largo body was also encamped. At Louisa Court House wao another large body,apd thence to Gordonsvifle several rrgiments were struog along the road to camps, at inter vals of every two or three miles. From Gordonsviiie, where there were not more than six or seven regiments, a heavy force could be seen camping and bivouaclng on the bißs stretching to toe northeast to the direction of Orange Court House. The narrator stopped ten hours at Sordontvills, and during that time saw not lew than ten trains arrive over toe Central Baßroad from toe Sourh, and toe Chariottm viile BaUrrad from Lynchburg—thoße from Richmond bringing troops, and those from Lynchburg both troopa and auppllea. Lynchburg has been toe jMneipal depot for collecting supplies for toe Biohmond army for soma time, and they can now be forwarded to it by these tons routes. My informant, judging from what he saw, says that toe whole Confederate army in Tirginia is by this fins to positions on the Virginia Central Railroad, and that it numbers sear two hundred and fifty thousand men. HA saw no fortifications at any of the above mentioned places, but artillery appeared to be plentiful ja propor tion to the numbers of toe infantry. Of cavalry he saw but little, most of it probably being to front of too lines on or near the quart neutral ground between toe two op posing armies. Wagon trains were not numerous, and there U evi dently a lack of transportation facilities. It is under stood that this was the reason Jackson fell hack after tfc* battle of Slaughter's Mountain. He could not food alazg* army away from his railroad communication. Stonewall Jackson was said to have left GordonsriUe, batsose knew his whereabouts. Tbe informant irttmoC through Sianriardflville, and eawoolte a hear? force ak that point. The; were not encamped, and appeared a« 1C prepared to move. More troops were saw to be to the same point from Chariotte&vffle and Govdonsriite.

Archbishop Hughes’ FareiAl to Ireland. The Cork Examiner publishes a farewell letter from. Archbishop Hughes, written just before Ms departure for heme, in order to correct erroneous reports of his speeches in Ireland. The Archbishop says: I had not heard, ncr do I now know, what is the meaning of the BatikmaUsts of Ireland. X hare been told since that the Brotherhood of St. Patrick Is a secret, society—that is, a society having regulations and duties to which the Individual member, at the period of initia tion, hinds himself by an oath, or solemn appeal to God, which is equivalent to an oath. Every such society, no. matter by what name it cadis itself, is condemned by the laws of God and the decisions of the Catholic Church. Every such society is unlawful, even before men. It Is a snare for those who ester it. It leads to no good, either or Church or State. It is well known, both in America and Dublin itself, that X have ever opposed secret socie ties, »the proper discharge of my duties as a prelate ra* quires me to do. The case of the late Terence BeHew McManus was Introduced Into the ad drees, and in reference to that cast the gentleman presenting the document appeared not to have been acquainted with the facts. I was waited upon by a committee of gentlemen in Hew York requesting that the holy sacrifice of the mass might be offered upfor the repose oT the son! of McManus—that ids remains, which had just then arrivedirom San Fraudsco, should be borne in grand funeral procession through the streets of Hew York to the cathedral. The first part of the re quest was granted—the second was peremptorily refused* A testimonial from the Archbishop of San Francisco, to the effect that McManus bad received the last rites of the Church while living, was a sufficient warrant to entitle his departed soul to the prayers of- the faithful. His re mains were decently deposited in the receiving- vault of the cemetery until they should be removed. This is all that can be ascribed tome, as Archbishop of Hew York. And even this I cannot accept as a compliment, if, intea tlonaOy or accidentally, it implied any censure upon the conduct of others. ; ... It was obvious that the history of McManus and fata aiscciates tinged, if I can ao express it, the whole con versation. I referred to the bad impressions which lumsies uttered sgsinst the prelates and clergy of Ira* land had upon my own mind whea I was as yet yonng and uninformed of the foQ state of the case. What I said,of the right ef revolution in general, ac cording to Catholic doctrin*. X um represented as having arid in reference to Ireland in particular. Xt had no more reference to Ireland than to any other country. It was based on principles of law, which, if sound, are uni versal. Belgium had recourse to revolution, and suc ceeded, because die had observed tbe conditions laid down by St. Thomas. ' But because Poland and Ireland attempted a revolution when some, if not all, the condi tions to justify such a course were wanting, neither Poland nor Ireland ha been raccesefol in their attempt In this view of the subject I charged with rashness any attempt which did not hold out a reasonable prospect of success aa calculated |o con firm the governing power more and tnore in its au thority. But, altogether, what I said on the occa sion has been apparently misconceived or misrepre sented. so that the true idea does not appear in the. printed report.
