2~3E,WAR.
WUAT a change hes taken pine° recently in the
plan of the rebels for carrying on the war! From
a boiling over enthusiastic spirit of destructlbn on
every band, the public sentiment in the South has
been toned down to a more rational and sober
earnestness. Guerilla warfare has become
obsolete, and Morgan is heard of no more.
No cotton crop has been raised this year, and
the burning of that staple has ceased. Procla
mations and orders of rebel gy.orals grow cleverly
logical, and kind appeals are made to the people of
the Border States for aid. The blood of thousands
of "conscript sons" having moistened the hills and
vales of Virginia, much lamentation is heard, and
the women of the South feel the terror of war just
as they receive the heartbreaking news that
the " conscript fathers" are wanted for the
defence of Southern rights. Suddenly we find that
our wounded receive more attention when they
fall into the hands of the rebels, and a paroled
Prisoner informs us at the street corner that the
rebels "did not treat us so bad." All of this is
due to the, vigorous and deoisive policy determined
upon by our Government in the prosecution of the
war. The prompt and powerful increase of the -
army, the victories in Maryland, the eman
cipation .proclamation, and the one which
thre,atens tnitors in the North with punish
er' en t when obstreperous, have worked this won
drous change. The future is darker and bloodier
tolhe rebels than the past and present. If they
remain under arms for one month more the
slaughter of Antietam will be eclipsed at the foot
of the Blue. Ridge. At last the Northern heart is
touched, and the spirit of the Revolution is work
ing up an enthusiasm among the people. A great
retribution is patiently looked for.

having suggested all of the plans that saved the
army, and prevented the enemy from concen
trating by giving him battle at Groveton. It is

the Government to institute a rigid inquiry into the
management of Pope's campaign in Virginia.

The Ttemon of the Breckturtdge Demo-
We publish today, in the most conspicuous
column of THE FRE3I, the lESSOilltiol/ prepared
by Mr. FRANZ W. Himnep for tho sinction of
the Dernecratic State. Convention - that met in;
Harrisburg in February, • 1861. s-We copy it
from a circular, sent to us by a friend-of Mr.
Humus, purporting to be his defence against
the charges of Mr. Bnien, printed in this
newspaper on Monday. It is therefore re
liable, and we commend it to the careful at
tention of the loyal citizens of this State, who
are invoked to sustain - the candidates placed
in nomination,by'the.Convention over which
Mr. HUGHES presided. It - is the most con:
elusive and damning record of treachery on
the part of a Northern man this rebellion has
. produced ; and we can only find its parallel in
the secret declarations of such men as Mr.
Yeeeer end Mr. MALLORY. • it shows that,
while the traitors of the South were plotting
to establish`a new Confederacy, Mr. HUGHES
was plotting to make Pennsylvania a member
of it. Let us look at the facts. It was the
month of February, 1861. The Peace Con
gress was in session—a number of the ex.
treme Southern States had seceded. Me.
BUCHANAN was wringing his hands and saying
his prayers, and trembling at the farewell
menaces of DAY/9 and SLIDELL. The South
ern leaders were quietly storing away arms
and ammunition, sending delegates to "fo
reign courts, and amusing Mr. &reassess;
with Peace Commissioners, and long let.
ters of grievance.. The country was wretched
and sick at heart—demoralization was ex
.
tending evelOywhere public officials were
resigning—our army and navy officers were
throwing up their COHITHisSiOUS--BEAUHE
GAUD was building batteries'around Charleston
bay, while ANDERSON and his handful of little
followers were looking anxiously from their
casemal es for aid against the overwhelming
foe. In a time like this—and its dreadful
memory is in the heart of every one—the true
duty of the citizen would have been the Union
at any ce,st and every sacrifice: In a time like
this we find Mr. HUGHES, calmly plotting the
overthrow of the Union, by seeking to: throw
the great weight of Pentsylvania into the scale
of the Southern Confederacy. ." I prepared,"
says Mr. Humus, a " resolution which I in
tended to oiler in that Convention. I have
preserved the identical draft of the resolutzon,
which I then had, and which -then was, and
since has been shown to friends who can fully
identify it." This , c identical draft" we pub
lish at the head of our columns to-day.
In this resolution, Mr. HUGHES proposed
distinctly and without equivocation, that
Pennsylvania should unite her fortunes with
the Southern Confederacy. In other words,
he wished to piece Pennsylvania in the posi
tion of Virginia, so that when the guns of
BEAUREGAED'S batteries would open, they
would drive them both into the vortex of Seces
sion. He wished to educate public sentiment
into a hatred of the Union by creating feelings
of enmity between Pennsylvania and her sister.
States in the East and West. He was anxious
that Pennsylvanians "should believe that the
men of New York and New Hampshire, of
Rhode laland and Massachusetts, were their
enemies, and that . their place should be in
cr the new Confederacy," over which JEFFER
SON DAY'S now presides. (; I was fully im
pressed," writes Mr. Heoues, on the 29th of
September last, when making a confession of
his guilt, "with the conviction that the
New England Abolition Representatives in
the National and Peace Congresses, re
spectively, would refuse all terms of pacifi
cation that looked. to the maintenance of the
rights of the States. I desired to operate
upon them through the Pennsylvania Slate Con
vention, by showing them that, if they insisted
upon lbe sacrifice of the Union, rather than as
WEBSTER told them they ought to do, viz : con
quer their prejudices, Pennsylvania would
Eat consent to any such result, and that, if the
Union must he broken up by their refusal of
all just terms of adjustment, Pennsylvania
would go with her natural bozds and'with her
interests, and sot with New England." These
words were written by Mr. HUGHES only four
days ago, and they seek to justify his treason.
Wes end precisely such words as these in the
speeches of the Southern conspirators when
they menaced the loyal men of the Union with
"fire and steel" for their devotion to the Union.
The ii natural bonds" of Pennsylvania, ac
cording to Mr. Hearten, are not with
those who maintain the Union and
defend the Constitution ; they aro not with
the men whose bravery has immortalized
Ball's Bluff, and Fort Donelson, and Antietam ;
they are not with the men with whom her
children endured hardship and 'death, with
whom they traversed a hundred bloody fields,
with whom they sleep in the last embrace of
glorious death in the valleys of Virginiasbut
with ct the new Confederacy" of traitors and
like these are inhuman,
like these Mr. HUGHES iras ZifillcimfaUf-iIMI
whole Democratic. organization.
We have shown by the words of Mr.
Hocarxs' resolution, deliberately and elabd
rately written in a period of the greatest datt
gir this Republic has ever known, and, by sub
s( (pent words, written as late as last Monday;
that he is guilty of an attempt to aid the treason
of the rebels, by forcing Pennsylvania into the
Southern Confederacy. Unless he has repent
( d since last Monday, we are convinced that
lie is laboring to produce such a result now.
Even in his cc defence," when we should sup
pose that he would make his record as loyal as
it was possible for him to do, we look in vain
for any sincere and hearty sympathy with the
cause. "I demonstrated the fallacy of Seces
sicnism," says Mr. HUGHES, "and denounced
it in the most decided terms." His loyalty
has this extent, and no more. He only finds
in Secessionism a cc fallacy;"`to us it is mur
der, assassination, robbery, conscription, sedi
tion, rapine, devastation, piracy, repudiation,
treason. There are hundreds of thousands of
traitors now in arms against our brothers and
friends, and now endeavoring to, desolate the
State of Pennsylvania, who call Secessionism
eta fallacy," and cedemonstrate " it to be
such in very cc decided terms." JEFFERSON
Daa - rs thought Secessionism cca fallacy "
as long as nullification . was a remedy, and,
like that arch.traiter, Mr. HUGHES, thought
it a e; fallacy," but at the same time was anx
ious that some means should be taken to en
able Pennsylvania to join her " natural bonds"
with the ge new Confederacy." Davis and
HUGHES both look upon "Secessionism as cc a
fallacy ;" one resorts to war, and the other
endeavors to secure the triumph of the Breek
inridge Democratic organization. The people
are giving th‘ir blood and their treasure to
crush the one, and they will give their etibrts
at the ballot-box on the 14th instant to crush
the other.
' , The Command of the State Militia
In another column, we give place to an
important correspondence between General
B.u.r.xcx, Commander-in-chief of the United
States army, and his Excellency Governor
G-4 3IBLE, of Missouri, in relation to the corn
„tumid of the militia of the loyal State 4, recently
called into . service by the President. The
Governor asserts that the militia of Missouri
is a State force, and raises the question,
whether the United States can claim the au
thority of appointing its officers, or of order
ing them into the service I This, it will be recol
lected, was precisely the question at issue some
few nioutha since, between Ixrr Davis, and
Governor BROWN; of Georgia,- Mr. -Elton's?
being firmly impressed.with the erroneous con
viction,. tbat hr• the - new Confederacy the
State authority was supreme. It was natural
that Mr; Baosizr, in his pragmatical self
suftlelency, should have raised this point ; but
we had . not expected, afthis late day, after so
much loyal blood-had been shed for the Union,
'anti so much . devastation and misery had
beisn,visited on Missouri for her devotion to
the Urdon •cause, that the Executive of that
State, would by an official .act seem to give
countenance to the heresy of State sove
reignty.._ That he has done

we sre aware, there' has boon no conflict in

The Governor, apprehending that the question
may arise, writes to have, the decision of
General IlAtnacx. That decision is the most
latisfactory document wo have road for Many
arays, and settles the point conclusively.
Can We Vote for the Ilinton.in Pennsyl
vania?,
In the' t ton States, before Secession, there
was a sham proposition to submit the ques
tion whether' the State should or should not
go out of the Union, to the people, and in all
cases by force and threats the desires of the
conspirators were made triumphant. We are
deeply indebted to. Mr. HUGIiy.IS for making
the same issue in the coming election. He
has candidly presented the question to us ac
cording to his resolutions, published this
morning, whether Pennsylvania will prefer to
remain in or to go out of the Union. We
have understood from various authorities that
it is the purpose of this representative of Jr,r
mum' Davis to imitate the : offensive proscrip
tive policy of his: prototypes in the Sonth,
and to use force in certain contingeneies, par
ticularly where his satellites can have com
mand of the polls. Let us hope, that if• the
election should happen to'be decided against
him he will not further follow the example of
the Southern traitors by ignoring the popular
will, and by asserting that that which was a
declaration against himself was really a decla
ration in his favor. It seems from the bold
ness with which Mr. Humus and his partismis
oppose the Union, that those who are in favor
of it are to be debarred from advocating or
voting for it. So that we repeat the interro
gation at the head of, this article, c c Can wo
vote for the Union in Pennsylvania 7"
Lancaster County,
The canvass in Lancaster county has be
come Most interesting. JAMES Btronssaisr has
taken the field, and, as we learn from the Lan
caster Union of. Wednesday, has contributed
a thousand dollars to defeat the unconditional
Union ticket and to elect the Breckinridge
nominees. It is understood that Mr. Bu-
CHANAN has determined that the Union ticket
shall be overthrown. We have spoken else
where of the insolence and arrogance of the
traitors in our midst. The best proof that
they have thrown off all disguise, however, is
to be found in the attitude assumed by their
great leader, who, more than any other man,
aisisted to plunge this country into war, and .
who, more than any other man, should labor
steadily and conscientiously to rescue it from
its overwhelming troubles. -In return for
the forbearance of the people who permit him
to remain among them, he throws himself into
a political struggle, and contributes of his
means to elect men who will go to Washington
and Harrisburg, if elected, with no other
object than to embarrass the Administration,
to weaken the Government, a d to aid and
comfort the common enemy. Is it not a mor.
tifying sight that the more this Republic is
imperilled, the more those who have precipi
tated the strife in which we are engaged
refuse to abandon their hostility to the Union,
or to drop their active sympathy with the
common foe? It is a painful thing to observe
that while these hitherto secret, now open,
enemies of the Government, refuse to con
tribute of their vast means to the support
of our sick and wounded soldiers, or, if
they do so, give only in stinted tributes, they
frotly offer the largest sums, in order to aid a
gang of political brigands, who are anxious
only to fetter the hands of our public ser
vants, and to strengthen the hands of our
public enemies. , That which gives JAMES
BUCHANAN and his satellites so much hope is
the belief that their country is inextricably
involved, and that the Democratic masses will
sustain them. The eleetion of the 14th of
October will tell the story whether the people
are -ready to surrender all their liberties to
these betrayers of confidence and of freedom,
or whether they will show their sense of both
by such a majority as will only be another les
son to those administered within 'the last year
to the authors of their country's ruin.

LETTER FRONT • OCCASIONAL."
The treasonable resolutions ofe the c airman
.
of the Breckinridge Committee, of the State
of Pennsylvania, now admitted, and by all his
recent acts affirmed and defended, excite un
mingled astonishment and indignation among
patriotic men in this quarter. I have read,
them carefully, and hesitate which most to de
r °ma ce—th e heartless complacency, that could
write such resolutions at a moment whoa the
traitors were leaving the Union and Kprepa
ring for its destruction, or the audacious
insolence that could vindicate . them when
these traitors had perfected their preparations,
and when the -Republic was bleeding at every
pore. And this man and. his followers com
plain of violations of the Constitution, of the
usurpations of Mr. Lincoln's Administration; of
unconstitutional arrests, of taxes, of debt, and
of the draft! What they thought, and what
they think, of constitutions or administrations,
is now seen in their deliberate plan for the
overthrow of the only free Constitution
ar,d for the destruction of the only free
Government in the world. Is it 'pos
slide that the people are willing to en
dorse such doctrines as are set forth
in' these resolutions by their votes? Ido
not wonder that when they were first suggested
in the Democratic State Convention, in
February, • 1861, a leading Democrat should
have threatened to throw both them and'their
author out of the window. Will the people
be less indifferent now, when, in the midst of
the war and desolation brtiught about by the
Southern traitors, these shameless and mon
strous doctrines are repeated and avowed by
the head of the Breckinridge organization of
Pennsylvania? I can well imagine how the
old Democrats will feel under this new expose,
of the black-hearted treason of their leaders.
They have allowed themselves to listen to the
delusive logic that arraigns 'the general -Ad
ministration as weak, corrupt, and iriCOM
petent. They have listened to exaggerated
stories about debt, taxation, and the e draft.
They have even patiently heard and swallAved
the imaginary horrors of negro equality and
negro conapetition with white labor. All these
belonged to their list of party duties, and
were doubtless duly accepted, however repug
nant, in many respects, to their better judg
ment. ,But when they are eonvinced -that
these things were but introductory to a de
liberate purpose of leading them straight into
the -very jaws of Treason, they will call a halt,
and tell their leaders that they have gone far
enough. Every loyal citizen will await the
result of your election with intense and eager
solicitude. OCCASIONAL.

STEAMER RABIIV ILLS.
, The extraordinary luck of this rebel steamer, daring
her late career, anti Still more extraordinary 111 luck or
le, ificiency of our naval vessels which, at varietal} times,
sighted her, Is remarkable. Her first trip, uador Confe
derate sway was in October, 1801, from Obarleeton to
Foothareaton, carrying 8 gene and N. men, with de
spatches from the rebel government to their commie
stoners in Europe. She was then commanded by Limit.
pegrana, to: merly of our navy. On her way, she took
the ship Harvey .Ifirch, Captain Nelson, bound from
HiMe to New York, burning her, and making prieonere
01 her crew, who wore enbeequenlly roletteed at South•
ampton. She was blockaded in the English Channel by
the Tuscarora and tie James Adger, but gassed Weisner
vessel at night, within a distance; of twenty yards. A❑
hands were beat to quarters on the Adger, ani
lamps were lit alongside of the gun catriages, but no
attempt was mode at firing. The Nashville pro-
Oeeded to Bermuda, and when on the point of ard
val saw the United States steamer Qusker City coning
out of sort. In order to avoid suspicion, she continuzd
a considerable distance in her company, sometimes being
within a mile. Those on board of the Nashville thought
that the commander of the_ Quaker City know her per
fectly well, but was afraid of her. Oa leaving Bermuda,
the Nashville captured a schooner (name forgotten by
my informant) trom Wilmington, Del.. with a cargo of
provisions for ht. Domingo. The crew and part of the
cargo wore taken on board, and the vessel burned. During
ber I obscquent cruises sbo made no captures. The Nash
ville proceeded to Beaufort, North Carolina, where she
entered in broad daylight. A largo blockading vessel
lying there gave ber twenty-one shots before visaing
Fott Macon, but without effect, The Naaivillereturnel
but one shot, and struck her. From Beaufort a run was
safely made to Georgetown, South Carolina, through the
cross fire of three vessels at the former place. Lientenant
Pegrsm there relinquished the command, and her arma
ment and crow, with exception of about thirty men and
a small six-pound gun on the forecastle, were dispensed
with She was then placed in charge of Sailing Master
John M. Lumen, assisted by one officer and an engineer.
On entering Georgetown she was attar-sed by a three
matted steamer, which threw several shells at her, each
time approaching to fire, and running away after the
discharge.
She went minty from Georgetown to Nassau, took in a
cargo of arms, ammunition, blankets, shoes, percussion
cape, medicines, &c., and ran the blockade into Charles
ton. Ste returned from there to Nassau, with cotton,
passing nine blockading vessels off the bar, She again
loaded up with arms and ammunition, for Wilmington,
North Carolina, Oft this place she was fired at by six
blcckadiug vessels, while inside the bar, unloading her
cargo into smaller steamers. They made no attempt at
clone quarters. One vessel came repeatedly within a
mile, Bred a shell, ran off, and returned to ropsat the per
formance; Every shell fsa short. 4 . D—d fools:" said
every one on board; r, why don't they pitch into us T"
On her way the Nashville had been chased in a very able
manner by the St. Jogo de Cuba, but without success.
From Wilmington she took 1,000 bales of cotton to IS ao-
Eau, returning from thence to Charleston in the latter
part ofJune, with arms, ammunition, &c. Mr. Lassen, her
con mancter, having left her at Nassau to command the
eteemer Kate, she become lees fortur ate in liar new cap•
tern, Gooding, who failed to enter Charleston harbor,
and was chased by the Ralston° State for eighteen
locum. Ball an hour aftor this vessel had turned uasac•
ceaefully away, and was lost in the distance, an accident
occurred to the machinery of the Nashville. She broke
her injection pipe in three places, was disabled for four
hours, end blew off steam. On remains her course, she
bad but five tone of coal, and reaching Green Taste
Key, in the Bahamas, she sent a schooner to Nassau for
a supply. On receiving this, she followed the stoimor
Kate to Ossetia Bound, on the Georgia coast. The Kate
ran out, after discharging, hut the Nashville, having
also discharged, was Ices successful, and returned to her
dock, being at this moment watched by throe United
States vessels, who might easily enter and cut
her out. There are twentyfoar feet of water
at the wharf, and eo shoals in - the chan
nel. The defences are moreover weak, consisting
but of a battery of eight 32-pound guns, twa miles from
the Nashville, on the left side of Vernon river, as the
wharf is approached- The other surrounding defences
are a battery of four 82 pound guru on the Ogeochee
river, five miles distant, and heavy oavalry ptchets—
often amounting to 800 mon—five miles off, at White
Bluff. Goading, tho captain of the Nashville, though
nominally anEnglisbre an, is in reality a North Caroline'
man, who procured aci izenship in England. On etkoh
trip from Nassau the vessel brought into the rebel Con
federacy about 200,000 stead of arms, and. 400 tons of
gunpowder, besides pistols, swords, permission caps,
blank eta, shoes, medicines, and other army necessaries.
Bar part success in eluding our steamers
-is surprising,
but she has been by no moans alone in good fortune.
Many others have bean (gushy suecossful, with the same
desciiptlon of cargoes, and. one, whose name I cannot
learn, bad a peculiarly narrow escape. On leaving

the squadron. There has teen no mole proline subject

blcciadirg steamers. -
RUNNERS OF TUE BLOCKADE.
The principal steamers employed for this purpose have
teen the Nashville, Kate, Leopard, Herald, Scotia, Mtn.
n ow, Fiord, .MAnaphle, and two others, all large ocsan
vessels. •
SOUTUERN ARMY WELL SUPPLIED.
These rcesele, In their various trim have brought
abundant material to the South to carry on the war for
teen then an additional year, with the exception of army
cloth, which le being abur dantly manufactured at At
lanta, Georgie, which possesses several mills devoted to
the purpose, ono of which, owned by a Frenchman,
named; Duane, or EOM° name of that Bort, turns out
five thousand yards a day for the use of the " gray
backs " At least three bundled and arty thousand heavy
English navy blankets have been imrorted within the
last six weeks. The Memphis, Herald, and Kate took
nothing else on their last tripe. The blankets were in
heavy Wee cf 1,000 each. There is no greater gammon
than tko reports of the Northern papers relative to tho
impossibility of clothing the Confederate army during
the chmiturWinter, simply because of the present lack of
costs and shoes among a portion of the men. They have
been thrown away during marches, owing to the heat of
the weather, with the full expectation of replacing them,
if wanted, frOmdoad Union soldiers, till winter supplies
come forward from their Commissariat.
In addition to other supplies, the above-mentioned
steamers often brought large cannon from Naseau,

ped to that point from England, in cases, aS " °Ma

These, however, form but a amall part of the guns used
by the rebels. As is will known, large numbers have
been cast at, Charleston, and at the Tredegar irou Warks.
Though there are iren mlneein Arkansas and Alabains,
they are not worked, end the material frees which the
cannon, shells, and shot have been cast, la the iron taken
from the email and less frequented railroads, which have
been torn up for the purpose. This, else, has boon used
for plating ken clad vessels, and often for land defences.
The Charleston foundries are at, present occupied chiefly
in working up old guns into thew of a more efficient de
scription. The plating for iron. clads is Prepared al At

every appearance indicates profound peace. A sufficient
quantity. of fresh meat and flour the rebels can certainly
count on for the coming year, but salt meat can leas be
expected. There are works for distilling salt from sea
water at Charleston, at MontgorCery, and at Beulah, In
Oetaba Sound, and other Southern totalities, but the
article is unsuitable for salting beef or pork. It dis
solves long before the meat is permeated. Rook salt;

strengthened by a silly belief in ultimate Confederate
success.'
The chief agents In Nassau for these traushiprennti3

ENGLISH PREPARATIONS-FOR SOUTH:ERN' TRAM.
It seems that large shipping firms, among which may
be enumerated Beebe & Co
~ of Liverpool, owners or
several lines of atenmoro. to Alexandria and other tifedi
terrauean ports; have madt arrangements with the rano'
Government for the monopoly of. similar enterprises be
tween England and various ports in the Confederate
States, by way of Bermuda, as soon as their independence.
le obtained. It is reported that money has already baen
advanced for this monopoly, and the necessary wharfage
at each port secured.
The high probabillt7 thus appears that strong hints.
have been received by these parties from. thellLgileh
Government that a recognition of the Confederacy is
probable. They certainly would not other wieo risk the
loss of their money. These enterprises are prompted by
a etrennone determination to monopolise the future
Southern trade, and debar the Northern States from n
participation. Idle hope of Johnny, to circumvent
Yankees in trading matters, under whatever Mead you
tagna! The Mourners to bo employed are large iron

Two members of tho Prussian army arrived in
Charleston taut June, to take oammand of the

the son of a Prussian field.marshal. These officers,
with their staffs, have obtained a three• years furlough
from their Govornment, and were engaged by the rebel
commissioners in Europe. They have dropped their
German cognomens, and taken American names; On
their arrival, the chief part of the rebel cavalry was

Pope's Officers la the Rebel Capital,
Statement of Captain Goulding—Capture of

BOne 'with the Effects—How the Prisoners
Were Treated—flow General Prince Acted—
Wood and Seymour in Bad flepate—Valtau
digitate a 6 ' Trump• —Little or No Confi
dence in Jeff Davis' Administration.
The New York Evening Post of October 2 contains,
among other important items of . Southern no we, the fol
lowing intereitlog statement of facts:
Captain O. N:Gouldiug, who watt General Pope's ch:ef
quartermaster in the hold, was taken prisoner upon the
occasion of Stuart') noted raid at Catlett's Station, is
tiOW exchariged, and bas just returned from Richmond.
Bie ateetint of the bold rt.:venture of thd rebels agrees
with those before published. It appears that, being in
commend. he considered the position exposed, and tole.
graphed to General Pope for pertnistien to remove the
valuable traits to a safer place. Be was ordered, In re
ply, to remain where he was.
AlthoZ'ah apprehensive of danger, yet the persons in
charge of traltis wore completely surprised by the sl-
Mice and celenZ
of the attack ; they , were suddenly ear
rounded, and the earn : occupie d before they bad time to
escape, or destroy the vait;...°We papers and plans of the
commanding general.
The rebels took possession of everyt" , j n g — nalcial do .
Mien% telegrams, plans of the campaigde the personal
baggage& several generals, and that of their slant; and all
toe money of the quartermaster and commissary del ;ti
me Me, amounting to some $16,000.
At Richmond twenty six of 'Pope's officers were con
fined in one room, which they were never permitted to
leave for a single moment for any purpose whatever.
Onet meal per day was all that was allowed them, which
consisted of broad, meat, and water. It may easily be
imagined, in view of Jeff Davis' retaliatory order upon' .
~ all of Pope:a officers when' taken prisoners, that their
prison lire; with its attendant circumstances, wai not
over and above agreeable. An especial zest was some
times added to their experience by some such lively inci
dents as the tinloadlog'of ninety coffins at their door, or
the narrow escape from a bnitet of some careless cola
, pennon who had thrust his head outside the window.
Captain Goulding alie relates an incident which re
fleets great honor upon General Prince and the other
prisoners. When they came to ha paroled they wore
catechised as to their age, birth, height, &o, ending
with the Q7estion, " What are your politics?". To the
latter Query General Prince, who had been a Brectin
ridge Democrat u at first replied, "& Democrat ;" but in
scantly seeing the object of the inquiry, corrected him
self. F.o,''• 'sold ho, "put me down Abolitioniet."
The majority of the prisoners made the same answer.
Captain Goreding, who was once an earnest sup
porter of Douglas, but ahoee political °Oaken
during his brief ecjonrn in Dixie seem to have been alto-
getber revolutionized, added : "I am not a hog, and
know when lem filled." fie states further, that it is
his firm nonvictioti that the rebel leaders will not accept
any terms of peace which look towards a reunion; they
are resolved upon absolute and entire separation. If
they have any relations with.the North, it will only be
as our conquerors and dictators. They have as little
faith and loss respect for WoLd and Seymour than for
Greeley and Phillips. The only two persons he heard
imam) of aith may favor e:e - l'allandigham, and one
oct er whose name escapes wt. We beg the gentleman's
pardon for out Inability to elevate him to such rare dis
t notion..
Captain Gonlelleg had. several interviews with Jeok
eon, and formed a high estimate of his capacity. Jack
son told him that during the entire war he had never
'be on so bard pressed as he was by Fremont in the deo
naudosh valley; that he never was in such a dangerous
position as at Cross Keye and Port Republic; and he
freely admitted that he would have been captnred, army,
bsg.and baggage, had Fremont been reinforced or sup
ported by McDowell.
In 'clew of the immense armies pouring down upon
their wasted - fields from the North, they did not resod
over and above confident that Jeff Davis court be king
just 'et ' But Captain Goulding' found the belief to be
universal that tho French would intervene actively, not
only acknowledging the independence of the Soutbetra
Confederacy, but that they have taken or will take mea
sures to establish it by armed intervention.

The Address of the Governors
WASHINGTON, October 2 —The following is the ad
drew' of the Governors of the loyal States to the Presi
dent, rdoptcd at the meeting held at Altoona,
take measures for the more active sannort of the
Geveriment, on the 22d day of Beptember,'l.B62 :
Alter neatly one ycar and a half spent in the contest
with an armed and gigantic rebellion against the bational
Government of the United Shites, the duty and purpose
of the loyal States and people continue and at-.
ways remain as they wore at Its origin—namely, to
restore and inrpetuato the authority of this Govern
ment end the life of the nation, no matter what c mse
queoccs are involied in our fidelity. Nevertheleas, this
aorta of restoring the Republic, preserving the institu
tions of Democratic origin, and justifying the hopes and
toile cf our fathers, shall not fail to lie performed, and
we pledge, without hesitation, to the President of the
United States, the moat loyal and cordial Import, here
after as heretofore, in the exorcise of the functions of
bin great office.
We recognize in him the Chief 'Executive Magistrate
Of the nation, the Compaander-in- Muer of the army and
navy of the United States, their responsible and cons atu-
Ronal bead, whose rightful authority and power, an well
as the constitutional powers of Congress, must be rigor
°nay and religiously guarded and preserved, as the con
dition on which ell of our form of government and the
constitutional rights and liberties of the people them
selves can be saved from the wreck of anarchy or from
the rule of despotism: In submission to the laws which
may have been or which may be duly enacted, and to
the lawful orders of the Pres' lent, cooperating always in
our own spheres in the National Government, we mean
to =Akins in the most rigorous exercise of alt our lawful
and proper powers, contending against treason, rebellion,
aid the public enemies, and. whether in Debit° life or
private station, supporting toe arms of the Union until
its cause shall conquer—until final victory shall perch
ripen its standard, or the rebel foe shell yield a dutiful,
rightful, and unconditional submission ; and impressed
in the conviction that an army of reserve ought, until
tat.. shall end, to be constantly kept on foot, to be
raised, armed, equlppei, and trained at home. and ready
for arerk ooo loff, ." ,, e-e.enectfully seek the Profit...iota to
call for inch a force of volunteere year's service,
of net lees than clue hundred thousand In Me agate;;
the quota of each State to be raised after it shell have
filled its quota of the requisitions already made, bath for.
volunteers and militia.
_Wo believe that this would be a measure of Military
prudence, while it would greatly promote' the military
education of the people. We hail in the heartfelt grail
&Mai' rite _hone the proclamation of the Presi
dent,
twined on the =1 instant, declartoi
from'thelr bondage' ail persona held to service or tabor
as slaves in the rebel "States, whose rebellion shall last
until the that day of January next el:Lining. The right
of any pollen. to retain authority to compel any por
tion of the subjects of the National Government to re
bel against it, or to maintain its euemiee, hmelies In
thoeo who are allowed poseeesion of such authority
the right to rebel thomselvea, and therefore the right to
eetoblieb martial law or military government in a dra'e
or Territory in rebellion, imp lee the right and the duty
of the Government to liberate the minds of all men living
therein by appropriate prec , amationa, and assurances of
oti caul, in order that all who are capable, intellec
tually ono morally, of loyalty end obedience may not be
forced into Masten, the willing tools of rebellions
traitors. To have continued' indeduirely the most effi
cient cause, support, and stay of the rebellion would
have been, in our judgment, unjust to the loyal people,
whoee treature and lives are made a willing sacrifice on
the altar of patriot re—would have discriminated agaiuet
the wife who is compelled to surrender her husband—
against the parent who is to surrender his child to the
hardships of the camp and the perils of battle If the rebel
treaters were permitted to retain their slaves, it would
have been a final decision alike against humanity, jus
tice, the rights and dignity of the Government, and
against a sound and wise nailonal policy. The decision
of the President to. Strike at the ro It of the rebellion
will lend new vigor to the efforts, and new life and hope
to the hearts, of tbe perp . .e.
Cordially tendering to the President our.respectfal as
enter. cee of pereanal and official eon fiance, we tr nstand
believe that the policy now inaugurated will be crowned
with auccese—will give speedy. and triumphant victo
ries over our enemies, and secure to the nation and this
people the blessing and favor of Almighty God. We be
lieve that the blood of the heroes who have already fal
len,and those who May yet give their lives to their
country, will not have been abed in vain.
The splendid valor of our eoldiera, their patient en
durance, their manly patriotism, and their devotion to
duty, demand True us, and from all their countrymen,
the homage ;it the sincerest gratitude, and the pledge of
our constant reinforoaffielit and enl l .l l3 rt A just re
gard for these brave Tarn aloft' stl3 :Ave tee:9)ll4d to
place in the Bald, and for the importance of the duties
which may lawfully pertain to us hereafter has called us
into friendly conference, and now presenting to our Na•
Venal Magistrate this conclusion of our doliberotipus,
we devote ourselves to our country's service, and we will
smroubd the President in our constant support, trust.
ing that the fidelity and zeal of the loyal Scams and peo
ple lOW. always assure him that he will be constantly
rostiotalnal in punning with vigor this war for the pre
aervatk n of the national life and theliogiee of humanity.
