WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 27, 1862.
tGTWe can take no notice of anonymous communica
tions. We do not return rejected mannsoripta.
VoluntuA correspondence solicited from all parts
of the world, and especially from our different military
and naval departments. When used, it will be paid for.
THE WAR.
Recruiting for the old and new regiments is
Still brisk in every State in the Union, and many
of the State Governors have asked an extension of
tune to 111 up thoir quotas by volunteering, thus
< avoiding the draft, which, for some reason or other,
meets with dUfavor among the people, not so much
beoause the draft in itself Is unpopular, but be
, cause the laws governing it are loose and very in
apropos, in some oases entirely inapplicable, and
■very orude and confusing. JSuta draft must be
resorted to, and that almost immediately, if we
wish to increase our armies promptly and effec
tively, and crush the rebellion at onco.and in toto .
Judging from the news which we publish
this morning, General Morgan’s position at Cum
berland Gap is, threatened in a very serious man
ner. If it bo true, howover, that ho ha 3 ample
commissary and ordnanoe stores, and is an able
general, he can hold the Gap against any force
until; assistance arrives, which is already on the
way, no doubt. Cumberland 1 Gap may yet prove
'the Thermopylae of the Great Rebellion.
One of our most reliable correspondents, who,
exoluded from the lines of the Army of Virginia,
is posted temporarily at Baltimore, sends us a ru
mor that General Sigel had shot General MoDowell
on the battle-field. A similar report was exten
sively circulated in this city last 'evening and
believed by many. We give it publicity as a sen
sational report, for what it is worth, not being able
to contradict it, improbable as it may seem to be,
in the absence of either private mail or telegraphic
advices frem Washington. :
THE NEWS.
From the Department of the South we have an
account of the rebel rams, afloat or building at
Charleston and Savannah. The rebel monster
Which rcoently appeared in the vicinity of Fort Pu
laski was not the Fingal,es reported—the Fingal
not yet being finished. The Charleston rams will
be ready for action about the, first of September.
It is a satisfaction to know, meanwhile, that our
naval authorities are putting forth every energy to
counteract tho maohinations of the enemy.
The burden of news from the Department of the
Gulf consists, as usual, of official oerrespondonoe,
General Butler enaoting the leading role.. Count
Mej*n, the French oonßul, having objected] to the
Frenoh residents surrendering their arms, on the
ground that they would be at the maroy of the
negroes, the General replied that the authority of
the United States Government was a sufficient
guarantee that no such contingency could oaaur,
and that the arths must therefore be delivered.
The correspondence with the Spanish consul rela
tive to the quarantine is likewise of interest." A 3 a
matter of historic value, we publish the regimental
organization of the Ist Regiment Louisiana Volun
teers. t
The rumor that Yancey has. started for Europe
via Canada is hardly probable. A correspondent,
writing from Buffalo, announces the arrival at Ni
agara Falls of a■ “ way-worn and extremely seedy
man,” who walked to the Clifton House, and en-
tered his initials, and his residence as “Dixie.”
Ex-Governor Morehead, of Kentucky, qame into
- the.office at the instant, and the seedy tramper
stepped right up to him and whispered in his ear.
'Electrified with astonishment, the Governor shook
him wanhiy by the hand, and in turn whispered to
a number of other Seqesh rebels in the room. ; The
stranger was surrounded and weloomod with the
warmest demonstrations. Who oould he have been ?
As fab as the means of transportation are con
cerned, Gen. Pope will not be apt to suffer, either
for supplies or reinforcements of troops. A monster
locomotive, weighing about twenty-'nine tons, and
costing about @lO,OOO, has been built by a Massa
chusetts firm for Government use, probably on the
Alexandria and Orange Railroad. It is of the most
modern and massive construction, and is Intended
for freight work. The Chief, as it has been hamed,
being literally an engine of war, is appropriately
decorated in his “ war paint.” This is the second
locomotive of this class recently, constructed for the
Government by the same company.
ta Most Her. Arobbishop J. B. Purcell arrived
in Cinciinati on the evening of the 22d mat,, on
his return from Rome. He was received with the
greatest enthusiasm by his friends, and an imposing
procession paraded most of the public streets of the
oily ,in bis honor. The Archbishop subsequently
delivered an address at the cathedral to a large as
semblage.
W* hear that the work of recruiting is going on
in a much more satisfactory manner in the northern
ecotion of New Jersey.” In Bergen county, at a
meeting of -the Board of Freeholders, the bounty
money to be paid to each recruit by the county
was raised from @75 to $lOO.
Os Tim evening of the 13th, Commodore Earra
gnt hauled -down bis flag from the mizzen and
raised it on the mainmast, which act announced to
the fleet that the hitherto flag-officer had assumed
the functions and dignity of rear admiral in the
United States navy. A salute was fired on the oc
casion, and in the evening he waa serenaded. An
army salute was fired in honor of Admiral Earra
s gut’s promotion, by the chief of artillery, Captain
Kensel.
The quota of Hudson City, N. J., 120 under both
oBUB,has been filled. Twenty-five of the nine-,
months men left for Trenton yesterday.
Thebe are now fifty regiments organized in tho
State of New York. These laok fourteen thousand
men to fill them up to the maximum number, but
it calculated the number will be filled during the
next ten days.' There will then remain nine thou
sand deficiency on the first oall for 3000,000 vo
lunteers. These, with the 59,000, New York’s
quota on the call for 300,000 conseripts, will leave
68,006 men to be raised in the State.
Address of the State Central Committee.
The address of.the Union State Central
Committee to the loyal citizens of Pennsyl
vania, which we publish to-day, is a document
Which none can read without profit, and which
deserves to be applauded for its high, loyal
character, temperate tone, and true sincerity
of purpose. It is not a partisan document. We
find in every paragraph a broad, national
spirit, beyond the reach of party platforms or
political pronunciamientos. In this spirit wo
rejoice to see the campaign opened by the
Union State Central Committee, who in earn
estly inviting the co-operation of all loyal
citizens, without reference to obsolete party
lines, have the complete assurance of their
success at the ballot-box in tho coming elec
tion. The candidates, Hon. Thomas E.
Cochran for Auditor General, and Hon. Wm.
S. Koss for Surveyor General, are both gen
tlemen of tried ability, and unwavering devo
tion to the Government. In their represen
tative character, as the only candidates
who faithfully represent the loyal senti
ment' of the State, they will be uni
versally supported against the adversaries
of the Government, even supposing their
personal fitness for the offices named should
be ignored. Though rarely given to the ut
terance of prophecies, we may safely predict,
relying on the temper and determination of
Pennsylvania, that the candidates named by
the Union State Central Committee will be
designated for tho respective offices by an
overwhelming majority at the next eloetion.
Mr. Charles Ingersoli.
The New Work Times and the New York
Tribune both state that it was Charles Jared
Ingersoll who was arrested for making a trea
sonable speech at the Breckinridge meeting on
Saturday evening last. That veteran statesman
departed this life a few months ago, and the
responsibility of the speech aforesaid attaches
to his son, Charles Ingersoll. This gentle
man, until within several years past, has not
been much of a politician and very little of a
Democrat. ,-He blossomed into a partisan
under Buchanan’s Administration, and ripen
ed into a sympathizer under Lincoln’s. His
sentiments, taken down from hisownlipsby one
of our reporters, and published under our local
head yesterday, are so offensive and üßjust,
that we do not marvel that the public autho
rities should have construed them into a deli
berate attempt to prevent enlistments in the
army. When we recollect that Mr. Ingersoll
has heretofore been a quiet observer of public
affairs, we can better understand the influence.,
wielded by the traitors .in the free States *
through sfieial and commercial relations.
Think of such a gentleman coolly stating
“ that this Government has „ raised the
largest sums of money, and applied them
to the worst purposes of any Government
fhat ever disgraced power;” that “they
began with seven hundred thousand, and are
now going fo raise six hundred thousand more
troops j”. that “ hero we are, on this 23d day of
August, 1862; without-accomplishing any re-
Balts’ towards the suppression .of. the re-
bellion . thst “ the whole.object of the war,
, hitherto, has been to’ free the nigger;” that
“a more corrupt 'Government than that
which now governs us was never in the
United States, and has been , seldom seen in
any European part of the world;” and that
“it is necessary to go to the older regions of
Asia to find as much corruption as exists in
this Government of Mr. Lincoln.” When
conservative men utter such sentiments as
these, in the name of Democracy, no one
need he surprised that they are received with
indignation and punished by arrest.
There was an Independence Hall during the
Revolutionary War, and an Independence
Square. Suppose the Tories and sympathi
zers with Great Britain had held a meeting in
that square while our soldiers were suffering
at Valley Forge, and some gentleman like Mr.
Ihgersoll had uttered such a speech as that
which fell from his lips on tho evening of the
28d of August, or suppose that such a demon
stration had been made in the second war
with that great Power, how long do Mr. In
oeksoi.i. and his friends think that such trea
son would have gone unpunished by George
Washington and 'James Madison ? A fair
comparison between the present assailants of
the Government of the United States and our
old British enemy, would end in an emphatic
verdict in favor of the latter. Long and
laboriously as our forefathers toiled to propi
tiate the mother country, they did not go' so
fat as we have gone to propitiate the slave
holders. In both cases the ties of consan
guinity and home, a common literature and
common ancestry, prevailed to weaken the
men who weio enlisted on the right
side of the question, and were seized by the
ingrates and the oppressors on the wrong wide
ns pretexts for unexampled aggression arid
unprovoked bloodshed. How wonderfully
alike our English foes in ; the past and our
slavery foes in the present! The hatred of
free institutions that excited George ,111. is
imitated by those who; having received slavery
from him as a curse, now go to war with the
people of a Christian nation who refuse to re
cognize it as a blessing. Mr. Jefferson’s
Declaration of Independence said that
the. “ history of. the present King of Great
Britain is a history of repeated injuries
end usurpations;” but these atrocities
have; been 'equalled and surpassed by the
leaders in the present rebellion. Like the
British monarch, “ they have endeavored to
prevent the population of these States ;” like
him, they “obstructed the laws for tho na
turalization ol foreigners,” by enforcing anew
oath of allegiance; like him, they have.
“ obstructed the administration of justice;”
like him, “ they have plundered our seas,
ravished our coasts, burnt our towns, and de
stroyed the lives of our people;” like him,
“ they have constrained our fellow-citizens to
bear arms against our country, to become the
executioners of their friends and brethren, or
to fall themselves by. their hand;” and, like
him, “ they have endeavored to bring on the
inhabitants of our frontiers the merciless In
dian savages, whose known rule of warfare is
an undistinguished destruction of all ages,
sexes, and conditions.”
Is it not marvellous that a citizen like Mr.
Isgeb son. should so" far boast 1 of his sympathy
with the man guilty of these crimes as -not
■only to fitter no complaint against them, but
to denounce, deride, and depreciate the? mag
nanimous Government with which they are at
war ? His conduct, however, is a matter of
his own. He can adjust It at his leisure with
the Federal authorities; but when we are told
by our reporter that his sentiments were
cheered by the Democracy we must put in a
modest jirotcslandum in their behalf. What
ever may be said of their leaders, they, at
least, are not traitors. It is only necessary to
hold the mirror before them in which Mr.
Ingeksoll’s sentiments and the sentiments of
his associates are hideously seen, to warn them
away ftom the frightful gulf into which their
leaders would hurry them. They do not
believe what Mr. Ingersoll has said. They
are not indifferent to their country.
They do not see the "sufferings - of
their fellow-citizens on the. battle-fields with,
out feeling that they deserve their gratitude.
In the good old by-gone days the Democracy
regarded England as the hereditary foe of the
Republic. Are they ready now, not simply
to hail England as an ally against that country,
but to applaud outrages and inhumanities, on
the part ot the rebels, of which England herself
would be afraid and ashamed ? Whatever may
become of Mr. Ingersoll, let ns hope and be
lieve that he does not speak the sentiments of
the . Democratic masses, and that, if his speech
has no other effect apart from preventing en
listments in the army of the Republic-, it will
at least open their eyes to the designs of
leaders, who, if they had lived in the days of
the Revolution, would undoubtedly have, been
Tories, as at this hour they are sympathizers
with a monarchy far worse than England, and
a despotism more extreme than Asia.
The Impending Draft.
If thoc-xigencies of - our situation could.be
ignored—if the laudable ambition of the seve
ral States of the Union to 1 fill their quota by
voluntary enlistments alone could be enter
tained without incurring fatal delay—it might
be feasible, and, for the sake of our national
reputation, advisable, so to extend the time'
for enlistments that “ the six hundred* thou
sand more ” needed by the Government might
be raised without a conscription. But, in our
present situation, with the guerillas swarming
the free States of the West, and Indian mas
sacres jest commencing in the Territories,
and.. Washington none too well secured
against the rebel hordes massed for
miles along tho Rappahannock, and Mor
gan . so. completely environed at :Camber
land Gap, that all his supplies and reinforce
ments are* cut off—in such a condition of
affairs as this,lt becomes more painfully ap
parent than over, that tho magnitude of the
struggle has not been Over-estimated, and that
if we ever hope to end it successfully, our-;
efloitß .must be on a scale of equal magni
tude. : The time for a temporizing policy has
long since passed. If ever procrastination jeo
pardized any cause, it now jeopardizes ours.
If the life of the Union were not at stake,
or if it were merely desirable for the sake
of hollow pomp to make a parade of our
military strength and patriotism,, for the
States of Europe to gape at and applaud,
the Government might properly withhold a
conscription, and leave . the,-matter |o its holi
day soldiers. But we are nob parading our
strength for barren display.; we are marshalling
our forces to battle for the most beneficent
government on earth, closely pressed and
menaced by the most malignant foe that"ever
strove to plot away the liberties of freemen.
Why should wo hesitate, when only prompti
tude can save ns ? Let us have the draft on
the third day of September next, without fail.
The War Department has been lenient, neces
sarily. It .has extended the prescribed day
from tho loth of August to September Ist,
and again to September 3d. In' the State
of Maine the time has been extended to
September 10th, and Indiana has been
granted to the loth to complete her quota.
This leniency has no doubt been ren
dered imperative,- to -allow time for the ar
rangement of details. It has undeniably yield
ed some good results, and has done much to
lessen the force of the conscription in many
States, enabling several of them to fill their
qnota under the first call. But we shall have
better, far better results—less loss of life and
treasure, and a speedier crushing of the war—
by the enforcement of the conscription act.
And what is there so formidable and shocking
to the sensibilities of the loyal citizens in
the idea of involuntary enrollment ? We can
see in it nothing derogatory to his character,
or depreciative of hi 3 rights- He is empan
nelled on a jury, and serves without an objec
tion, Why should he object to serving on the
Grand Jury that Is to pass judgment on the
leaders of the Southern rebellion ? , As far as
our city is concerned, the individual chances
of being drafted are so exceedingly slim, that
substitutes will be had without any difficulty
whatever. Out of 80,000 names of able-bodied
males, probably not more than 3,000 will have
to be selected.* In the war of 1812, one Phi
ladelphian out of every five was compelled to
shoulder his musket. Has our patriotism de
generated in the last fifty years, that our brave
men should grow querulous, and our cowards
seek to skulk away to Canada and 1 Europe ?
Every sensible and patriotic citizen will sfib
.mit with good grace to a measure of national
salvation, which he knows to be inevitable,
and which, indeed, as an evidence that; the
Administration is in earnest, should inspire
all loyal men with hope and confidence. V {
It must be admitted and regretted that bur
State and National laws on this subject, thanks
; to the patchings and tinkerings of successive
Congresses and Legislatures, are ndt only un
bartnonious, hut in some features actually irre
concilable. Their inconsistencies have been
heretofore adverted to in these columns, and it
is needless to dwell upon them at present.
The “ Regulations for the enrollment aud
draft of the militia,” issued by Adjutant Ge
neral Thomas on the 9th of August last, how
ever, will, we presume, be mainly adhered to,
and much difficulty and dissatisfaction will
thus be avoided, as far as difficulty in the exe
cution of the details could arise. But we fear
that in enrolling dll able-bodied male citizens
between the ages of 18 and 45 the department
is somewhat too impartial, if not unwittingly
unjust. French conscription laws exempt the
sons , solely supporting, their.sisters or widow
ed mothers, and never take more than one
son of a family at any time. Cannot our
legislation be shaped with as just discrimina
tion, without doing violence to our intensely
democratic notions of the civil proprieties?
While the ties of country, in such a crisis as
this, should be stronger in every bosom than
those of family, it will not do for any Govern
ment, and least of all, this. Government,
founded on the immutable principles of civil
liberty, to subvert the laws of “ domestic”
tranquillity, or weaken the fealty of the hum
blest citizen to his own hearthstone and kio.
In a speech delivered at Washington, last
evening, Dr. O. A. Brownson, the cele
brated Catholic scholar, urged the impor
tance of an immediate draft, as an evidence
of the ability of the Government to sus
tain and defend itself against its enemies
without and within, and as an assurance
that the detrimental leniency which has
thus far characterized our'councils will be
discountenanced in the future. Dr. Brown
son has expressed sound views, which should;
engage the attention of every intelligent pa
triot, in the present juncture of our national
affairs. The sooner they are understood and
acted upon, the sooner we shall write the
epitaph of the rebellion.
National Debt.
Mr. Charles Inoersot.l is a poor orator—
uncertain', stilted, and of the true forcible
feeble style. Still, bis figures of rhetoric are
better than his. figures of arithmetic. In his
speech. on Saturday, he said “We are at this
time the most indebted country in all the
world. We have the largest debt, the heaviest
debt—a debt for. the payment of which there
is the least probability, for by the middle of
the year ’6B we shall be the heaviest taxed
people in the world;”
Now, tho whole United States Debt, includ
ing six loans between 1842 and 1860,: and
every liability up to. the middle of July, amounts
to $626,000,000, the annual interest on which'
is $26,000,000. On the other hand, the whole
National Debt of England is $4,473,220,000, ;
and the annual interest thereon is $130,900,000.
How, with anydegreo of truth or information,
Mr. Ingersoll could .declare that the Ameri
can is greater than the English Debt, when it
is not one-seventh of its amount, we leave him
to explain—if he can. We further add that
our present Debt is not as much as what it cost
England, between 1776 and 1782, to combat
against Freedom on American soil.
Non-Intervention
A late number of tho Richmond Enquirer ,
taking for its text the debate in the House of
Lords on Monday, August 4th, on a motion by
Lords Campbell and Stratheden, with-Earl
Russell’s reply, pretends that, the ilatterV is
“highly favorable to the interests of the
Southern Confederacy.?’ The motion was
that the British Government should produce
copies of any correspondence that had taken
place between: Her Majesty’s' Government
and Mr. Mason, the envoy of tho revolted
States. The reply was that this could not be
done, inasmuch as no correspondence of an
official character had taken place. That Mr.
Mason Bad ,;fired a battery of letters into
the Foreign Office is notorious, but Lord
Russell could not help that, and had treated
Mason as a mere “ outsider.” Lord Russell
followed up his reply by demolishing (what we
had exposed long since) the miserable canard,
oi the Iwlependance Beige that negotiations had
taken place between France and Russia in order
to effect the recognition of the South, but
that England, which had originated the idea,
was holdifig back to perplex France. He ra
ther ridiculed Lord Campbell for his easy
credulity in accepting such a rumor as - true.
The Richmond Examiner says, in effect, there
maybe no official negotiations of. thenature re
ferred to, but there have been some, and Lord
Russelt. admits it. If so, words mast be taken
to mean the reverse of what they say. Here
are Lord Russell’s : “ 1 have had no commu
nication with any foreign Power stating any
wish, or making, any proposition, with regard
to the recognition of the Southern States of
America.” If: this positive averment leave
the South one wing on which its .'hopes may
soar, wo arc' ignorant of the value of langnage.
We take occasion here to affirm, in contradic
tion to a statement by the Paris correspondent
of The Times, (that Mr. Slldell i had had an
interview with the 'Emperor Napoleon, at
Vichy), that the Emperor, np.to this time, has
declined • receiving any Southern emissary,
even in an unofficial character. Mr. Slidell
has not had an andience of him, at Vichy or
elsewhere.
The Thunderer a Blunderer.
To find the omniscient and infaliiblo Lon
don Times at fault, up to its neck in a morass
of ignorant blundering, is something to talk of.
An instance has just occurred, at which Euro
pean journalism has been triumphantly making
merry.
The German Zollverein, or Customs Union,
was originated by Prussia, which continues to
lead it. The design was to make an Union of
the German States for purely commercial pur
poses, and to secure an uniform rate ©f Cus
toms through all their frontiers. In the Great
Exhibitions of 1851 and 1862, the Confederacy
of the Zollverein massed together contribu
tions, and this is so well known that any one
desiring to see what Prussia had sent would
at once proceed to the department of the
Zollverein. This is Austria, has only now
joined the Confederation, bringing under com
pact the whole of its territory, and 35,000,000
of people—thus virtually abandoning a capri
cious and prohibitive system for one of mo
derate duties.
A fortnight ago, The, Times startled its Eu
ropean readers by opening a leading article
with the words, ‘'Prussia has entered the
Zollvereina statement as rationahas to de
clare that England had lately joined the United
Kingdom of Groat Britain and Ireland, or that
Austria had absorbed Hungary. Nay more,
The Times proceeded to argue on the advan
tages likely to result from Prussia joining' the
Zollverein, one being the extension of Free
Trade, whereas Protection is ; the elemental
principle of the Zollverein; the Northern
German States abutting on the Baltic which
still hold aloof from the Zollverein, doing so
on the ground that they are Free-traders,
which the Confederated States are not. .
Next day, The Times corrected its fatal
blunder, and made another in doing so, like
the gipsy tinker who, haviDg an eye to busi
ness, never mended one hole in a saucepan
without making two. It said « the negotia
tions which are on foot refer to the entrance
of Austria into the Union, Prussia being not"
only a member already but having of late
taken a most active part,.” &c., and ‘‘ Austria
alone of the German States is not' included in
the Zollverein.” To say that only of late has
Prussia taken an active part is absurd, seeing
that Prussia originated, has supported, and
heads the Zollverein, and so far from Austria
alone having stood aloof from the Zollverein,
there are at least seven other German States
(the free traders alluded to) which are not in
cluded in the commercial Union. Here is
blunder upon blunder. These mistakes of
The Times will go far to destroy its prestige.
“Prussia has entered the Zollverein” is
vastly more absurd than the famous New
York prattle about “ the elbows of the Min
eio.” -
That The Times should have made a confes
sion of its ignorance must have startled its
constant readers. Its policy hitherto has been
to “let the tree lie where it fell,” and
say nothing about any misstatement. In this,
no doubt, its conductors remembered what
happened in a small town in the north of Scot
land, blessed with a weekly journal, in which
was announced, with expressions of deep re
gret, the suicide of aleading inhabitant—banker
.and deacon. The reported defunct waited
upon the Scottish editor, and requested him to
report, in his afternoon edition, the iitter un
trutb of the statement as to the suicide. Tie
man'of thd pen gravely shook his head, and
answered, «I am vora glad £> find you well,
Mr. L , but its clean impossible that I can
contradik the paragraph. It would ‘never do
for any editor to admit that he was wrang In
anything. But, if ye wish "the folks to ken
how It is wi’ ye, and that ye’re still in the land
o’ the leal, I’ll just say that the rope broke,
and that your life was maist : providentially
saved thereby.” The Times, having blun
dered about the Zollverein, would have acted
wisely by foliowiDg the example of Its North
country contemporary.
THE PRESS.—PHILADELPHIA.
LETTER FROM “OCCASIONAL.'*'
Washington, August 2*3, 1862.
There is a suggestive resolution among
those adopted by the meeting of the Breckin
ridge Democracy in your city on Saturday
last., It shows that the apostles of the new
creed are in a terrible way about disciples.
Jefferson and Jackson have been stricken from .
their calendar, and we have another dozen of
saints with'epaulets on their shoulders. • The .
resolution, which I know you will excuse my
repealing, says “That our Democraticbrothren, •
McClellan, Halleck, Butler, Dix, McClemand, ?
Geary, Logan, Hancock, Corcoran, Meagher,
Mulligan, ! Fitch, Shields, Sickles, Burnside,
as well as the tens of thousands in the ranks
who are members of party, and the sol
diers of the Union armjr generally, of what
ever political faith, deserve our warmest
thanks for the sacrifices by which they have il
lustrated their devotion to the cause of the
country.” These' “ Democratic brethren,”
who are so warmly welcomed in this Breckin
ridge congregation, will feel astonished to find
themselves applauded by the mea who ap
plauded Mr. Ingersoll for comparing the Re
public tbey are fighting to preserve to the
despotisms of Asia, and denouncing the Presi
dent, whose name signs the commissions, as
corrupt and inefficient. The fact that these
. soldiers have exhibited so much devotion and
courage should have preserved them from the
contaminating flattery of those to whom devo
tion and courage are unprofitahly exhibited in
a “ war for the negro.” ■
Unfortunately, however;-for the justice of
this piece of ready-made history, these ‘'Demo
cratic brethren” havo spoken for themselves,
and have records as distinct and bright as the
page that chronicles their val or and in trepidity.
McClellan, their chief favorite, although by
no means an anti-slavery man, does not hesi
tate to welcome contrabands into his lines, and
•put 1 them to many excellent uses.' Halleck
has shown, by the rigid manner in which he
executed the confiscation laws, and his seve
rity with the guerillas, a wicked disregard of.
his duties as a “ Democratic brother.” Butler
has horrified every “ true Democrat”, in the
land by his course at New Orleans, and* we
find that consistent “ Democrat,” Mr. Davis;
expressing bis disgust, in very forcible terms,
in a late communication to the Richmond
.Rebel Congress. Dix has written one of the
imperishable legends, of our race, and is uni
versally known as an opponent of the present
Democratic organization. McClemand omits
no occasion to express his contempt for the
men, who ruined, Douglas, as . the prelimi
nary steps to their treason, and has no
sympathy with the men who are attempt
ing to convert Illinois into an ally of the
Southern Confederacy. Geary is at his
home,, near Harrisburg, and can speak
for himself. The eloquent words of Corcoran
aro fresh before us. His zeal, his suffering,
his bravery, and his earnest enthusiasm in ad--
dressing' tho people-during his recen't journey,
were decidedly unbecoming a “Democratic
brother.” “I am for the President of the
United States exercising the fullest authority,”
says Corcoran; the President is corrupt,
despotic, 'and tyrannical, say bis brethren.
Meagher has spoken for himself, and his recent
speeches in New York will contrast strangely
- with those of his “ Democratic brethren ” - in
Philadelphia'. Mulligan gavo his opinions ih*a
letter which you published in The Press a few
days ago, and they sadly disagree with .what
the brethren published to the world in Inde
pendence Square. “Destroy this Govern
ment,” says Mulligan, “ and what safety re
mains for our homes, what honors in our his
tory ? For the past is the mhmory of great
ness; in the future we see anarchy, seif-con
tempt, and foreign scorn.” These are strange
words for a Democratic brother. But what
shall we say of General Sickles ? This brother
made a speech recently, which will disgust
every traitor in the land. “We shall never
have peace,” he says, « until slavery is elimi
nated from our institutions; we are never-to
see the possibility of placing this army on a
peace-footing until slavery is destroyed This
would generally be called Abolitionism, hut
nevertheless the General is gladly welcomed
as a brother and worshipped as a saint of the
new dispensation.
But while these men aro honored, we look
in vain for other names of Democratic fiime.
Where is Andrew Johnson ? He is a' briga
dier general and a Democrat—but is he not a
, brother?. Where aro Col. Owen, Col. Cake,
and Col. Taggart ? They are all eminent De
mocrats, and have been honored by the party
in other days—they are soldiers of the Repub
lic now. They contend for an active, ener
getic, and exterminating war; they : call 'trea
son by its "proper name, and ; fight it with a
proper weapon; they are ardent loyors of the
country. Why are they banished from the
; Democratic fraternity in such a summary man-,
ner ? Is it not because they refuse to follow
Mr. Hughes and his false gods, because they
abandonedjparty in .drawing tho sword, and'
have been consistent ever since in their devo
tion to the Union and their opposition to all
party schemes, for its'degradation and destruc
tion? " Occasional.

■ Patbnt Limbs fob the Amir. —A board of me
dical gentlemen was convened on Wednesday last,
by Surgeon,General Hammond, of this: State, for
the purpose of considering and 1 deciding upon' the
best patent limb for Army use. The .board ad
journed to meet this day (Wednesday), in the
city of New York, when it is supposed that final
action will be had upon the subject. The humani
tarian character of an invention has seldom been
more strikingly exhibited than it has been; since the
commencement of this war in the application to the
maimed of patent limbs, a large majority of which,
we are pleased to say, were made and applied by
our own ingenious townsman, Hr. B. F. Palmer,
whose name is associated all over the world with
the best substitutes for natural limbs.
There is likely to b% considerable competition at
the meeting referred to, between sundry makers of
artificial legs and arms, though ib is not at allpro
babls that'tho competent board—composed of sur
geons of the highest respectability—will fail to
give their unanimous preference to the Palmer ar
ticle. ' Professors Gross and Pancoast, of this city—
both members of the board—have given ittheif un
qualified'endorsement, and a letter has heenad
dressed; by the Surgeon General to Dr. Palmer
himself, requesting his presence at the meeting,
to-day. The practical views of the latter, no
matter what limb may he adopted, will be of great
service to the board in their deliberations.

The Free-Black Colonization -Scheme.
Professor Brownsoh addressed a large crowd to-night,
expreesißg himself ardently In favor of the President’s
free-black colonization scheme. Apart from this, how
ever, he regarded emancipation as a necessary warnua-
Bure. The.two races shonld be geographically separated;
for there could be no .equality among them, nor did he',
desire it. Solar,. the, defence of tho . country has been a''
voluntary act, but advocated a draft because it would'
tints be made si doty,,the foundation of true'nationality.;
A nation is never lost till manhood 1b extinguished. Ho
regarded' this war not as a judgment, but as sent in
meroyV He; should riot despond, but ever remember that
we have' a country which shall be maintained"against
whatever toes may be combined-.to overthrow our Go
. vernmeut. It should he upheld.by.boldness and energy,
for timidity is worse than treachery, It should be said
to our defenders: “ There !b your work—go and do it,
and sweep away the rebels from the land of Washington
arid Jefferson.” Sacrifices for the country will render it
dearer to its inhabitants..
Professor Brownsox and his remarks were applauded
throughout.
Numerous applications, have already-been made to
Senator Pomeroy for passage to Central America by free
colored persons, who are. anxious to be among the first
to enjoy the benefits ol tho propoted colonization.

Baltimore, AugUßt from Washing-'

The notorious George N. Sandere was entertained by

of a released Union officer, and is said to have Copies of
Jeffßavia’ message, instructions to rebel agents in Eu
rope; and an earnest appeal to the European Powers in
favor of a recognition of the Southern Confederacy, on
his person.
Squadß of rebels' are forming here, and escaping South,

Colonel Woodward's home was killed under him, and
his saddles and pistols are now in our possession.
Tho rebels Bent a. flag of truce previous to the attack,

The War in Missouri—Defeat of a Rebel
iiami.
OBBEHVII.LE, Ho.i Arigust-25.—Major liippert, of the
13th Illinois Cavalry, with 200 men strong, met with a
body of 350 rebels yesterday, between Bloomfield and
Cape Girardeau, and after a fierce engagement routed
them. Thirty men were. killed, fifty wounded, and
sixteen taken prisoners. A number of horses,
several wagons, a "quantity 'of: arms and ammu
nition, and their - entire camp equipage, wore taken.
: The rebels scattered in, utter, confusion through the
woodsi and it is not probable that they wili again come
together. Parties of Union troops, thoroughly equipped
for guerilla chasing, are after other rebel bands.
' General Blunt has probably, ere this, engaged Coffee’s
forces, provided the latter gained sufficient courage' to
stop running after forming a junction with Bain’s forces
at Greenfield. . . .
Greesville, Mo., August 25.—Since tho battle at
Done Jack Gen. Clunt, with a formidable force, has been
pursuing the combined . rebel bands, under Coffin and
Qnantrell. ■ It was .expected .that ■ they would form a
junction with Bains at Greenfield, and , offer .him
,battle, and all hoped that such would be the case, as
Geu. Blunt had sufficient forces to dispel any feelings of
alarm as to the result-being other than victory for the
National arms. Tho guerillas would also have had
almost their entire force in the engagement, and with
their defeat and dispersion would, naturally end the
guerilla raid in Missouri. But the rebel Bains waaiot
at Greenfield, and tho bands oi Coffee and QoantreUl fled.
Arkansas alone promised safety, and that was gained as
speedily as possible.
General Blunt having round farther pursuit useless,
has sent his artillery and cavalry to Fort Scott. His
infantry stillremains in the vicinity of Greenfielij where
ail is at present quiet. ; ;
In Arkansas, Coffee and Bains have formed a junction
and are recruiting and reorganizing; evidently for the
purppsebf-further depredations. Gen. Blunt’s force is
so disposed that it can keep close watch, and be
enabled to move speedily to, any point required. With
the exception'of email roving bands, the gtuteat present
may be considered free from Confederate forces, though
'they, are, only waiting for a favorable opportunity to
. again swarm over it. - - -

Chicago, August 28.—The St. Paul Press of the 21th
says: « A careful consideration so far forces the fcoh
viction of influence of white men otjthe bottom of the
Xndian’msssacie.' For weeks pasf, white men, chiefly Mis
sourians, have been among them. The facts that remote
tribes like the Vanktonias and Lentheada are moving in
concert with the Sioux, and that a large force attacked a
fortified, artillery post like Fort Bidgoly. which is an
attack without precedent in Indian history, and that the
Indians are butchering the missionaries who have spent
their lives among them, and who would, in ordinary dis
turbances, possess great influence over them, forces us
to the conclusion that this outbreak is a part of a delibe
rately concerted plan, its purpose being to ombarrars
and distract the General Go vernment, by alarming it for
the safety of the frontier,, and requiring the retention
here of a large number of troops who might otherwise
be differently engaged.

Important Despatch from Earl Russell.
Father Foist, August 28.—Bythe steamship Hiber
nian, which passed this point this morning, '{we hare re
ceived the following highly interesting letter,{written by
Earl Bussell to Mr. Stuart, in reply to a despatch from
Mr.'Bewardr , { ; ’' :: "'{' fr: ‘''''
EAUL RUSSELL TO ME; STUART,
- Forbioh Offiob, „
tOSDOH, J,Hly.2Bth, 1863,
S’R : I.,have ItTt hitherto uoarawered and unnoticed
the despatch of Mr. Seward, which Mr. Adams delivered
more than a month ago. I Have done so' partly because
the military events referred to in it were, in the opinion
of her .Majesty ’s Government, far from being decisive,
and partly because there was ho proposal in it upon
which her Majesty ’s Government were called upon to
come to any conclusion.
. Events subsequent to the date of Mr. Seward’s letter
have shown that her Majesty’s Government, in their
opinion of the first of these; points, .were not mistaken.
Victories have been gained. Beverses have followed.
Positions have been reached In the hear neighborhood of
the capital of the rebels, and these .positions have been
accompanied by great loss of life in battle and in the
hospitals. While such measures as the confiscation bill
have passed through both Houses of Congress, and, with
thei proclamatlona.of Gen. Butler, at Hew Orleans, bear
evidence of the increasing bitterness of .the strife, the
approach of a servile war, so much insisted upon by
Mr. Seward in his despatch, only forewarns us that an
other element of destruction may be added to tbe loss of
propetly and waste of industry which already afflicts a
country so lately prosperous.
Nor on the other point to which I have adverted have
1 anything new to Say. From the moment that intelli
gence first reached this country that nine States and
several millions of inhabitants of .the great American
Onion bad seceded and had made war on the Govern
ment of President Lincoln, down to the present time,'
her Majesty’s Govenment have pursued a friendly and
coasietent, conrse.': They have been neutral between
the two parties to civil war. Neither the loss of raw
material of manufactures, eo necessary to a great portion
of ohr people, nor the insults constantly heaped upon the
British name in{ speeches and newspapers; nor a rigor
beyond the usnal practice of nations with which the
Queen’s BDbjects, for attempting to break loose from the
blockade of the Sonthern ports, have been treated, have
induced her Majesty’s Government to swerve an inch
from an impartial neutrality.
At this moment they have nothing more at heart.than
to see that consummation which the President speaks of
in his answer: to the G jvemors of eighteen . States—
namely, the bringing of this unnecessary and injnrious
civil war to a speedy and satisfactory conclusion.
As to the conrse of opinion in thiß country, the Presi
dent is aware that perfect freedom to: comment upon all
public events is, in this .country, the invariable practice
sanctioned by law, and approved by the universal sense
of the nation. I am, &0., BUSSELL.
