ARMY OF THR CUMBERLAND;
CSpecial Correspondence of The Press.]
’ Franklin, Tenn., April 6.
That portion of the-* Army of Kentucky which is
under command ol G-en. Granger is encamped upon
the north side of this town; r
GEN. GRANGER AND STAFF.
Major General Gordon Granger has his quarters
in a beautiful garden, owned by a beautiful rebel,
and the tents of his staff officers surround him lu
this beautiful place, to the great astonishment of the
owner.
Grn. Granger is one of the finest gentlemen, and
one of the bravest officers, inthe service. He is one
ol the few men who understand how to administer
afl'airß in a rebel neighborhood, and is the only one
I know whogives universal satisfaction to the Union
citizens. As is aeldom'thecafle, all of his staff offi
cers arc quiet, gentlemanly soldiers, and deal with
.febels,' without .any ‘deviation, according to'the
General’s rules.' Ab Geueral Granger puraues bne
course, and one, only,. I will give you a brief descrip
tion of his mode of '•
11? EATING £ofiT4li AND DISEOYAI* PEO

There are but \ half a dozen Union, families in
Franklin, out of a population .of-1,600 inhabitants*
The Union peopleare put to noinconvenienoesj and
are allowed togQ aijy where

andforbidden to.leave the town," upon the penalty

He adjaitaof but one-answer, prefaced;by,
no ifs and ands. jtf.they answer “ Yeß,” he makes
them,prove their|i)byalty. If,they answer “No,”
lie informs considers that none but
lyy al people arc entitled "-to privileges, and grants
none} end all the talking, smiles, and taking of
okthß amounts to; ijothing with him, and he* giveß
the applicants to‘Understand that. The misery and
• j SUFFERINGS OF THE REBELS
can hardly be imagined. They have no firewood,
add in two weeks more will have nothing to eat.
Not a market wagon is allowed to enter town.. All
of the rebels ara'exigaged in cutting down their fruit
and oixamentu trees for firewood, and, in’ many,
cases, the owners are destroying their fences and
outhouses foi the same purpose. The half a dozen
Union famili f.-by order of General .Granger, are
being Buppli* i;with firewood by the soldiers, and
the neceseaiio of life they are permitted to procure
from the qiirtermasterß at Government rates.
Under nq coi lideration are the rebels permitted to

FIpNKLLN BEFORE THE WAR.
Before he breaking out of the rebellion, this was
one ofthijmost beautiful places,in Tennessee. It is
"delightfujy situated in Williamson' county, the
moat wejlthy, except Davidson and SKelby, which
contain be cities of Nashville and Memphis, in the
State, aid is embosomed amid fair hills, being
almost by the Harpeth river, The farms
are thefcnest in Middle Tennessee, the land being
of a naurc to produce cotton, corn, wheat, or to
bacco. there were several flourishing institutions
for leading, several churches, a newspaper, and an
intejligfnt and refined people. The streets are laid
out lav great cost, and with much taste, and finely
grated m/d Macadamized. The Nashville and Hunts
. villteodioad passes, through the place, it being one
houije ride to the capital of the State. The people
of tt* town, as a majority, opposed Secession for a
long lim£, but finally succumbed j and acted most out

; \A- REBEL CAVALRY DASH,
■ l ■■j- ‘ Fbanklin, Tenn., April 11,. 1863.
The offtera of guard yeßterday, before starting to
relieve 4 C regiment on duty across, the river, re
ceived oiSers in regard to increased vigilance, from
the ftct,kat Gen. Granger believed, from the mys
terious'movements of the inscrutable enemy, that
sometang would turn up before night. The conjec
tures‘oVtha commanding general proved correct;
for, hafliy ’had the regiments on duty been re
lieved, before Van Dorn, with about 2,000 cavalry,
dashedih upon- the Columbia and Liberty pikes.
Gen. Raines commanded the ‘force which entered
towiiipon the Columbia pike, and Gen. Whitworth
came in upon the Liberty pike. The
cavalf vedettes gave the f alarm, and moat of our
;infah to escape. We heard several Bhots
fired, uid, in a few moments, our horse and foot sol
diera/came rußhing for the railroad and pontoon
brides, pell mell, id company with half a dozen citi
zens Immediately in the rear of our troops were
the Jebel cavalry, chasing and occasionally firing
mfen, most of whom successfully crossed
"
beaten upon this side of th'e river?•
of Gen, Baird, before the rebels got well into town,
■vUs in line of battle. No unusual excitement took
, Gen. Granger hoped to decoy the enemy to
I the'ibuth bank of the river, believing their intention
1o be the destruction of the'railroad bridge. The
enemy, however, did not venture within a hundred
Nrards of Harpeth river, but drew up in line in town.
Ptom the. bill this side of the river, we could per
- ceive\ the butternuts in all parts of the town,
and leveral battalions drawn up in lines in
echelms. In a few momentß two • heavy
pounders from the fort, and two sections
of liglb artillery opened upon the rebel cavalry, and
Bhelledthem out of town without opposition. The
/guns felled* away until they got far out upon the
j pikes tfey came in upon, leaving their dead and
woundeji. lying, upon the ground in the streets of
/Franklin. Evidently, the whole thing waß a feint,
! or a reconnoitring of a new fort which we have
neiriy completed.; I have not; been in town this
mining, as it is not deemed prudent to cross the
riopr vet. In all probability we shall picket the
tojn as usual before night.-, We lost about thirty
mo prisoners and three wounded. We lost no man
killed. Two rebel cavalrymen, who were pursuing
a ciptain of one of the Ohio regiments, were shot
deal, while crossing a- little vale near the river, by
sone sentinels v/ho were doing duty upon.the rail
- roal bridge. Ido not think any fears need be enter
taiifed for the safety of this command, as our posi
tion b a very strong one, and the general and his
offic re and men extremely vigilant. B. C. T.
ARMY OF THE POTOMAC,
Condition of This Army and Its. Prospects
-General Hooker as a Leader, Ac.
M. J. A. Ware, one of the editors of the Wash
ingt n Daily Chronicle, has been. spending a few
day with the Army ofithe Potomac. He embodies
the esultß of his experience in a letter as follows:,
Falmouth, Va., April 13, 1863.
A trip to the Army.of the Potomac is, to one con-,
-vei ant, as I have been, solely with , the armies of :
the/West, full of interest. and presents,many novel
touCB of thought. Ileft Wasninglon on Saturday
moping, and arrived at Falmouth a little past noon.
I hive been here-just three.days, and have already
sei so much that I thinkashortaccountofmy
trtfelß will be interesting to you.
Ipad hot been on board the boat ten minutes be
foiT I fell in with two gentlemen wearing a foreign
unform, speaking French, and smoking some very
lorg, slender,. funny-looking cigars. On entering
intf conversation with them Hound that they were
Mdor General Auguste Fogliardi, of the Swiss
why, and Colohel Reppetti; his'adjutant, who have
bejn senHo.this country,by their .Government, oh
a -tour of observation through our army. The Gene
rafwent to the'Crimea oh a similar errand, and Col.
B^petti’has'b'een in the United States army as
lieutenant colonel of a New. York regiment. I was
extremely interested in what ; they said. They, are;
both* genuine soldiers, and love their profession.
The General struck every one who observed him,
both here and at General Hooker's headquarters, as
a 4ery superior man and an able soldier. Both these
geitlemen, like all true loyal Swiss, sympathize
stwDgly with tlie ; North, in the present content,-
piiacipally on the merits of the case, but 'partly,
alk>,' because a precisely similar rebellion was sue- ‘
celsfully-crushcdin Switzerland in 1847. I suggested
to them that they might, perhaps, be allowed to
vilit the rebel army, but they said they would not
go if they could; they had .no sympathy with the
rebels, and wished for no intercourse with them.
General Fogliardi could not restrain his expres
sions of amazement and admiration at the gigantic =.
efforts the North.has made to subdue this rebellion,,
and at the remarkable prosperity which/notwith
standing the war, everywhere appears. I. told him
that be must hot, of course, expect to see an array
equal to those of European nations, as we had here
tofore been a peaceful people, wholly unused to’the
aits of war. He replied that 'he certainly did not
expect anything hf the lort. We had improvised
our aimy; had been compelled to raise a million of
soldicis out of a commercial and agricultural popu
lation, and we could not expect to rival the armies
of Europe. How different was the event from his
anticipations!
il arrived Falmouth at about 1 o’clock, and
reached General Hooker’s headquarters just in time
to see General Fogliardi. and suite come up in great
style, riding in a carriage, and escorted by a com
pany of lancers; In the afternoon, we all went out
to a review of: General Newton’s corps. It was
entirely an impromptu affair, but everything was
done as perfectly as though days had been spent in.
arranging the splendid spectacle. As we rode up
and down the line, every man was immovably fixed
in his place, and when they marched by us in column
it seemed as though every company was only a part
of one grand maefrne. Every line was as straight
as a string could be; drawn; hands, guns*, and bayo
nets were all in exact order and in proper’ places.
Illy inexperienced eyes oould not detect a fault, and
yet I am told that; this corpses not; as perfect in
its drill as some others,. The next day
General Fogliardi, by Colonel Dickin
son, (Colonel Duell, and others of General Hooker’s
Btaff, rode over to General Meade’s 1 corps and in
spected his camps. In the evening I called on
Geneml ; Fogliardi, and asked; him- his. opinion of
our troopß, and I was not more gratified than, sur
prised at his judgment of our army. ' He said that
it was fully the equal of any of the European
armies he had ever, seen, both in drill and discipline.
The marching was equatto the beßt, and, in all the
minutim and detail which marked the true soldier,
our army .was perfect: . Colonel Dickinson; tells; me
that General Fogliardi was indefatigable in hlB re
searches ; that he seemed to eee everything, no mat
ter how insignificant; that he examined the uni
forms of the men, their performances of the manual
of arms, the horses, equipments, tents, harness, and
wagons, the arrangement of the oamps, the cleanli
ness of everything connected with these temporary,
habitations—in fact, tha.t nothing escaped his 'practi
cal eye. The General told me that in everything
denoting the discipline and subordination of regular
troops, in'the regularity, propriety, and neataesa of
everything: connected with the encampments/ the
accoutrements'©/ the artillery, infantry, and cavai
ry > our army was equal to anything he had ever seen
in the field. An army in garrison is a very different
thing. But the Army oi the Potomac waß in better
order, more “propre" and u en regie," than even the
famous camp of the French army at Chalons. Our
men. and officers may well be proud of such praise.
When we reflect that the. European armies; are the
result of centuries of education, labor, tradition, and
military pride, we may well flatter ourselves at hav
ing achieved such results in two years. But Gen,
Fogiiardi is not alone in his opinion. Many Euro
pean officers of diatinction and experience were pre
sent at the grapd review of the army which took
place last evening before the President. They were
unanimous in their commendation, and Jin the
opinion that they had seen nothing/in .Europe"'that
could surpass it. What "do you^think‘of a whole
corps, extending more than. a mile in one line, chang
mgits Front to one at ilght angles with its former
position, by.a simple wheel; jußtasaplatoon of forty
men would do? Yet this was done, and the same
movement could doubtless be performed on the bat
tle-field, to the great discomfiture of the enemy who
should happen to be within range of their rifles.
After-instituting an elaborate comparison be
tween ou^' great. Western armies and the Army of
the Potomac, the writer concludes his letter thus :
To sum up : it is, I fear, rather presumptuous in
me, on so slight an acquaintance with the Army of
the Petomac, to characterize it; but I think I shall
not be far wrong in Baying that it is abetter army
than the Western—better drilled, better dressed, and
better disciplined—but not so self-reliant, not un
derstanding so thoroughly the real issue of the con
flict in which we are engaged. The Western army
has been more successful, and has done more for the
cause. That isowing, however, entirely to the dif
ferences in their leaders. No Grant or Hosecrans
has had command of the Army of the Potomac; but
when it gets such a leader as it deserves, it will, I
am to think, do the best fighting the world
has ever seen. -
That, leader I sincerely believe that the Amy of
the Potomac now possesses. Despite alltheflat-
that has been borne to General
Hooker’s . abilities by army officers, soldiers, and
6 cnt Jf. men or the highest ability, and
w th ? ro ° shly convel 'Bant with his business.

Our Losses, &c.
Newheen; April ll.—Our expedition left Fort
Anderson/ on the Neuse river, opposite Newbem,
at three P. M., on Wednesday, Bth inst., for the pur
pose of relieving Washington, by an overland route.
We marched in fine order that afternoon as.far as
New Hope on the road towards- Swift
creek, where a partof the command, through a. mis
take of orders, encamped for the night, while the
advance pushed on to Little Swift creek, four miles
beyond. From this point our; cavalry went to
within a mile of Great Swift creek, where they as
certained that the rebels had destroyed the bridge,
. and barricaded the roads so it would be impossible:
to proceed. They also Reamed from perfectly relia
ble sources that the enemy were encamped there*
about .fifteen , thousand strong, with batterieSi sa>:
ranged to command the roadß approachidg in- every
direction. This was precisely what I expected’to
find, as I had learned as .much before leaving New*
bern, from thdjtftils of the Seceßh there.
SKIRMISHING.
Finding it impossible to proceed by this route, we
next attempted to gain the>other side of the swamp
by the route of Blount’s Mill,. Buthere again we
were doomed to disappointment. We left New Hope
Corners about nine o’clock on Thursday morning,
and came upon the rebels at Blount’s bridge, where
we had abrisk fight for over an hour, losing about
a dozen men wounded. The rebels had here also a
superior force of infantry and artillery, had cut away
the bridge over, the creek, and had erected breast
works on the opposite side, which commanded every
approach.. We could only tell of-the whereabouts
of the enemy by -the flashes of their guns and the
smoke (as they were masked), while they had their
artillery trained so ; as to sweep the roads com
pletely.
THE FIGHT.
At two o’clock, news came back to the General
that our cavalry had come upon the rebel pickets
about a mile this side of Huff’s Mills. Immediately
the line was put in motion, and we : marched at a
brisk pace to a point near an old church,'where we
halted while Captain Pond’s company of -cavalry
and the 17th Massachusetts Volunteers were sent
forward to reconnoitre. They had not been gone
many minutes when we heard brisk firing in the di
rection of the mill. Captain Fond having come upon
a line of cavalry dressed in the common blue uni
forms of our soldiers, which he first mistook for our
own men. The rebels let our cavalry comp.up to
within a few yaids iof them, when they opened a
murderous fire and fled. Captain Fond immediately
deployed his company on foot as skirmishers, and
for a few moments the fire on both sides was quite
spirited, amounting to no loss to us, except one
man slightly wounded and one horse killed. The
rebels retreated across the bare string pieces
of the bridge, and sought jafety behind their
works. As soon as the rebels ,;had crossed, they
commenced using their artillery, and our boys re
plied with a small cavalry howitzer. - The two
thirty-two-pound howitzers were then sent forward,
and they took position, upon the brow of the hill,
.just above the bridge, and within three hundred
yardß of the . rebel works. The column of infantry
was also moved down into the;woods, .vrhileßef
ger’s battery was held in readiness to join in the
action. It was soon found that the ttirfcy-twos had
not sufficient ammunition to last them through a
long action, and two guns of Captain Belger’s were
ordered down to relieve them; Captain Belgerhad
TjUSI ariAwed'mi lilt- uromifl-Yirifli Kig—pieces, when &
spberieaJ-case shot landed inthe midst ofruunnen,-
wounding the Captain, and. killing his horse, in
stantly. The batterythen took up the fight, and for
an hour the cannonading on both sides was terrific.
But we labored under great disadvantage, aB the
thick woods upon both sides prevented our gunners
from seeing the enemy’s, position, while they could
fire at random at the woodson our side, and be
tolerably certain of doing us some damage, w
Finding the,contest bo unequal, and the possibility
of our crossing so very slim-, General Spinola ordered
his command to fall back to New Hope, and our
forces moved away in as much order, as though they
- were on a dress parade. The artillery, however, as
a parting Balute, sent a few shells into the mill and
lumber piles, and when we left they were in a fine
blaze.
OUR LOSSES.
The following is a list of casualties on our side,
which is very light indeed, considering the circum
stances : -
Capt. Belger, Ist Rhode ißland Artillery, wounded
in thigh and horse killed.
Lieutenant S. G. lloberfcs, Co. G, 17th Massachu

THE RETURN.
After the engagement our forces moved back to
New Hope, wheie we camped for the night, and
yestewlay vve came into-Newbern. I Bhall have
something to say in regard to this expedition and
the conduct of the entire campaign in my next letter;
but here let me say, that whoever may blame Gen.
Spinola or any officer of his command for the failure
to relieve Washington, knows nothing of the cir
cumstances of the case., Criticism, however, would
be out of place just now, as it would be giving aid
and no small degree of comfort to the enemy. When
the secret history of this war shall be written, and
the faults be ascribed,' and shown; and proven upon
those who are the really culpable ones, it will but
illustrate in the mass what this campaign shows in
.the infinitesimal—and it will be written. -

Letter of Major General Meade.
The following letter waß written to the committee
of the Loyal Union League on the occasion of the
recent demonstration in New-York:
Headquarters Fipth Army Corps,
Camp near Falmouth,’Va., April 2, 1863.
Jos. A.Roosevelt, Esq, r Secretary Loyal National League,
New York:
Sir : I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt
of your letter of the 26th ult., inviting me to be
Present at a proposed meeting of the Loyal National
jcague,to be hold at Union Square,on the llth
inst., and, in the ; event of my inability to attend,
asking for my views.
My duties with the army in the field, and the near
approach of active- operations, preclude the possi
bility of my presence on the’occasion referred to:
which I the more regret,«because, cordially sub
scribing to the cardinal principles enunciated as the
basis of your association, it would afford me much
pleasure.to co-operate with"you in giving apublic
expression to the same.
My views, which you ask for, are very brief and
simple. They are, that it is, and should be, the un
doubted and unhesitating duty of every citizen of
the Republic to give his whole energies, and to con
tribute, by all the means in hiß .power, to the deter
mined prosecutiohof the war, until the integrity of
the Government is re-establishedand its supremacy
acknowledged. Deprecating as useless all discussion
as to the causes of the war, the foot of its existence,
and the necessity for its continuance, should alone
occupy us. For its /successful prosecution and ter
mination, I am clearly of the opinion there is only
■ required union and harmony among ourselves, and
the bringing to bear men and me&nß proportionate
to the power and resources of the country.
For the purpose of securing union and harmony, I
know of no measure better calculated than the or
ganization of vour National Loyal League. Its
broad and simple platform is one to which citizens
of all parties can readily subscribe ; and -I have no
doubt its effect will be most salutary iii proving, to.
those who are in arms.to subvert the Government,
that, whatever differences of opinion may exist on
minor points, upon the main point of there being
but one Government and one flag, we arc deter
mined and united. : * .
Wishing you every success in your patriotic ,ob
ject,l have to assure you, for myself and those under
, my command, that we do not hesitate “to pledge
ourselves to unconditional loyalty.to the-Govern
ment of the United States j to an unswerving »up-
Tiortof its efforts to suppress the rebellion, and to
spare no endeavor to maintain unimpaired the na
tional unity, both in principle and territorial boun
dary.”
I have the honor to be, sir, most respectfully,
your obedient servant, GEOBGE G. MEA.DE, ;
4 Major General of Volunteers.

[Here follow sundry resolutions passed by the

-- Fully concurring in the views thus expressed l by
Congress, I confidently appeal to your loye. of coun
try for aid in carrying into effect the recommenda
tions of your Senators and Representatives. We
have reached the close of the second year of the war,
and may point with just pride to the ■ history ©? our
young Confederacy. Alone, unaided, we have met
and overthrown the most formidable combinations*
of naval and military armaments that the lust of
conquest ever gathered together for the conquest b?
a free people. We began this struggle without a
single gun afloat, while the resources of our enemy
enabled them to . gather fleetß which, according to
their official list, published in August last, consisted
of four hundred and thirty-seven vessels, measuring:
eight hundred and forty thousand and eighty-six
tons? and. carrying three thousand and twenty-six
guns, yet we have captured, sunk, or destroyed a
number of these vessels, including two large frigates
and one steam sloop-of-war, while four of their cap
tured steam gunboats are now in our DOsaefuuna~?d--

fleets of gunboats to penetrate their
devastate our homes, is fast passing-awwjntry and
strongholds on the Mississippi still bid d.efitti our
the foe, and months of costly preparation for trrtn
reduction have, been spent in vain. Disaster has
been the result oftheir every effort to turn or storm
Vicktburgand Port Hudson, as well as every attack
on our batteries on the Red river, the Tallahatchie,
and other navigable streams. Within a few weeks
the falling waters and'the increasing heats of sum
mer will complete their discomfiture, and compel
their baffled and defeated forces to the abandonment
of expeditions on which was based their chief hope
of success in effecting our subjugation. '
We must not forget, however, that the war is not
yet ended, and that we are still confronted by pow
erful armies and threatened.by numerous fleets, and
that the Government that controls those fleets and
armies iB driven to the most desperate effort to effect
the unholy purpose in which it has thus far been de
feated. It will use its utmost energy to avert this
| impending doom, so fully merited by the atrocities
it has committed, the savage barbarities which It
} has encouraged, and the crowning attempt to excite
' a servile-population tothe massacre of our wives,
our daughters, and our helpless children. With such
a contest before us there is -but one danger which
the government of your choice regards with- appre
hension ; and to avert this danger it appeals to. the
never-failing patriotism and spirit which you have
exhibited since the beginning of the war.
The very unfavorable season, the protracted
droughts oi last year, reduced the harvest.on which'
we depend far below an average yield, and: the de
ficiency was, unfortunately, still more marked in the
northern part of our Confederacy, where supplies
were specially needed for the army.’ through a
confidence in an early peace, which may prove de
lusive, our fields should now be devoted to the pro
duction of cotton and tobacco, instead of grain and
live stock, and other articles necessary for the sub
sistence of tiie people and army, the consequences
m ay prove seriouß, if not disastrous, especially should _
this present season prove as unfavorable as the last.
Your country, therefore, appeals to you to lay aside
all thought oi gain and to devote yourselves to se-.
curing your liberties, without which these gains’
would be valueless. It is true that the wheat har
vest in the more southern States, which will be
gathered next month, promises an abundant
%yield} but even if this promise be fulfilled,
the difficulties* of transportation, enhanced as
it ‘has been by an unusually- rainy winter, will
cause embarrassments in military operations and
sufferings among the people, Bhould the crops in the
middle and southern portions of the Confederacy
prove deficient. But no uneasiness need be felt in
regard to a mere supply of bread for the men.
It is for the large amount of corn and forage re
quired in the raising ot live stock, and the supplies
of the animals used-in military operations} too bulky
for distant transportation, and in _them the de
ficiency of the last harvest was mostly felt. Let
your fields be devoted exclusively to the production
of corn, oats, beans, potatoes and other food for man
and beast; let com be sowed broadcast for fodder in
immediate proximity to railroads, rivers and canals,
and let all your be directed to the prompt
supply of these articles in the districts where our
armies are operating. You will thus add greatly to
their efficiency, and furnish ; the ..means without
which it is impracticable to make those prompt and
active movements which have hitherto stricken ter
ror into our enemies and secured our most brilliant
triumphs. : .
Having thus placed before you, my countrymen,
the reasons for the call made on you for aid in sup
plying .the,wantß of the coming:-year, I add:a; few
words of appeal in behalf of. the brave soldiers now
yourenemies, and to whom your Go
vernment they
~so richly.menu— -'The 7 supply of meal for thearmy~{s~
dfji(nent.\ This ..deficiency .is only temporary, for.
measures have.been adopted which wfll,
lieved, soon enable us to 'restored the full rations V:
but that ration ia'now reduced at times, to one half
the-usual quantity in some-of -our armies. Ttis
known that the supply of meat throughout the coun
try is sufficient for the support of all} but the dis
tances are so great, the condition of the roads has
been so b%d during the five months of winter
weather through which we have just passed, and
the attempt of groveling speculators to fore
stall the market and make money out of the
life blood of our defenders have so much
influenced the withdrawal from sale of the
sin-plus in the hands of- the producers, that
the Government has been unable to gather full
supplies. The Secretary of War has prepared a
plan, which is appended to this address, by the aid
of which,-or some similar means to beadoptedby
yourselves, you can assist the officers of the Go
vernment in the purchase of the corn, the bacon,
the pork, and the beef known to exist in large
quantities in different parts of the country. Even
if the surplus be less than believed, is it not a bit
ter and humiliating reflection that those who‘ re
main at home, secure from hardship and protected
from danger, .should be in the enjoyment of
abundance, and that their slaveß also should have
a; full supply of food, while their sons, brothers,
husbands, and fathers are stinted in the rations on
which their health and efficiency-depend 1
Entertaining no fear that you will either miscon
strue the motives of this address, or fail to respond
to the call of patriotism, ! have placed the facts fully
and frankly before you. - Let us all unite in the per*
formance of our duty, each in his sphere, and with
concerted, persistent, and welldirected effort, there
seemß little reason to doubt that, under the bless
ings of Him to whom we look for guidance, and who
has been to us our shield and strength, weahall
maintain the sovereignty ind independence of the
Confederate Stateß, and transmit to our posterity
the heritage bequeathed to ub by our fathers.

JEER DAVIS THE REPUDIATOR.
Cleveland, Ohio, April 13,1862.
To the Editor qf The New York Times: .
In your issue of the 11th inst., I find the following
card, taken from the London Times:
My Dear Sir': I am inclined to think that peo
ple in London confound Mr. Reuben Davis, whom
I have always understood to have taken the lead on
the question of repudiation, with President Davis.
I am not aware that the latter was ever in any way
identified with that question. I am confident that
it was negotiated during his eanvass for Governor,
or during his administration. The Union Bank
bonds were issued in direct violation of an express
conßtitutionalprovision. There is a wide difference
between these bonds and those of the Planters’
Bank, for the repudiation of which neither excuse
nor palliation can be offered. I feel perfectly confi
dent that Jefferson Davis never approved or justi
fied that repudiation. What may have been his
private opinions of v tbe refusal to consider Missis
sippi bound to provide for the payment of the Union
Bank bonds, Ido not know. . JOHN SLIDELL.
I desire to Bay that Mr. Slidell haß denied for Jef
ferson Davis what the letter never dared deny, and
never will, over Ms own signature.. This anxiety
to free the rebel President from the- disgraceful
charge of having been the advocate, if not the chief.
of Mississippirepudiation, is intendedHo aid-the rebel
cause in England, and to help on the so-called'". Con
lederate loan.” Mr. Slidell certainly never intended
or even expected this card to appear in the American
newspapers. At the State Convention in Nashville
that nominated John Netherland for Governor, to
run upon the Union ticket, against Isham G. Harris,
four yeaTß ago, X heard Henry Stewart Foote, now a
member of the rebel Congress, denounce Jefferson
Davißj before' as large an audience as could be
crowded into the Capitol, as a repudiator and a dix*.
unionist ; and he boasted of having beaten Davis for
Goverhofbeforetherealpeople of Mississippi, upon
these twoißßues. I web editing a paper in Tennessee
atthe time of that contest, and, as aUnion man, I ex-,
ulted over the race Foote made, and the disunionists
throughout the South regretted the success of Foote.
Jefferson Davis and Reuben Davis were both repudi •
ators of the meanest and deepest dye, and no man
knew, it better than John Slidell, living in thead
ioining State of Louisiana!
I am, &c., W. G. BROWNLOW.

Jersey Tobacco. — The ... cultivation, of
tobacco is receiving no little attention from the
farmers residing in' Camden. One individual last
year raised on 13 acres of ground over 13,0 b!) pounds,
of the weed, and has the promise of twice that yield,
the present season, on the same ground. In this
climate the time for sowing the seed is from the first
to the middle of April, the plants generally appear
ing about the first of May, and being ready for
transplanting from the 10th to the 15th of June.:
One tablespoonful of seed will : produce -plants
enough for .an acre of tobacco, but usually two or
three times the quantity is sown, as the plants some
times fail. One acre of tobacco, set 3 feet by 2}£
distant, will contain 6,050 plants; and the quantity
of tobacoo that may be raised per acre varies from
1,000 pounds to one ton'per acre—an average crop,
where it is properly treated, being 1.300 “pounds to,
the acre in Connecticut. There is considerable land
in our adjoining counties, and on the outskirts of
the city, where thiß valuable product might be
grown with success. ;

KEW JEJISEY TRUE TO THE UMOUf (
A jiKEAT MASS, MEETING OF THE PEOPLE-
AT TRENTON,
The CDTernineßt Endorsed, and the hate
Legislature Rebuked.
Under the auspices of the. Union League of Tren
ton. N. ,T., a large aDd spirited meeting—said to be
the largest ever held in any public hall of that city—
came off yesterday afternoon, *which was partici
pated in by delegations from every county in. the
State. The immediate of the meeting was a
declaration of' the* people's cbndemdatlon of the
treasonable acts of the late* Legislature, as well as
to evince the rear sentiment of New Jersey on the
question of unconditional }®yalty to the Govern
ment. The weather was by no mean favorable, yet
the different railroad traina converging to the city
were heavily laden with friends of theUhion from
all parts of the State. r . Y .
The Camden .delegation,,numbering wbout three
hundred members of the Union League-, under
Chief Marshal Josi J. Read,-left Camden- at nine
o’clock A. M., and were accompanied by many Phi
ladelphians, whose numbers, without doubt,, would
have been even greater had pleasant sunshine pre
vailed. - r
The meetingwas held in Temperance Hall, which,
at one o clock, waa packed; to-its utmost capacity.
The platform waß gaily decked with flags: patriotic
music by Beckß Band, of this city, stirred the-en
thusiasm of the audience, and eloquent speeches
«j**nmipating and hearty applause. •
Mr. Joseph O. Potts .called’ the assemblage to
order, and nominated RB chairman Hon. Theo. H.

days of never again to return to uat
How Bhall o p gwe f tliese questions IBy throw
ing off our glooiL despondency, and arising in
our manhood to assert ouiown strength and bower.
We will not lie in sulky supineness any longer.
We can make aelf-denia\ We can Buffer, we
can „flghL and we can \die, for t®fe richest
birthright or'^y-rtion. \Our fathers did not
.beget us with cowara when we make
our exit from time, let it not, be in ignominy*
In this exigency let us acquit ourselves like Ameri
can freemen. Let hot our children blush at their
parentage. History shall not record that the men
of New Jersey were dastards and cowards. Grovel
ling, indeed, must be that soul that iB not animated
:to heroism by the scenes transpiring around us. A
great nation rising into life amid great privations}
then rising in wealth, power, .and grandeur un
equalled in the world, now presents a spectacle that
cannot but bring a tear to the eye of every friend of
-the human race.. A short time ago we had a.Goverh
nient which extorted the admiration as well as the
fear of foreign Governments. Now those Govern
ments are enjoying a demon joy at our prospec
tive ruin. Here civilization waß making rapid
strides towards perfection. Every'man, however
humble or poor, was tbe equal of his neighbor.
Here the arts and the sciences flourished, our com
merce whitening every sea, and the American name
waß a passport everywhere. If the possession of
a-country does not challenge the admiration of
any American, he deeerveß-to be the abject slave of
any master who would consent to own him [Ap
plause.] We have a history, too. Our glorious flag
has been carried on land andoiTsea, bidding defiance
to every foe. That banner has, ere this, sent terror
‘to the counsels of the greatest, as it is the meanest,
nation of the earth. [Applause.] Now we see the .
spectacle of Americans dragging thatvery flag.in the
dust!. Did I say Americans? Let me take back
that name, for those who have taken up arms against
the American flag have forfeited all claims to being
Americans. Those who fight against our flag
are the enemies of civilization and humanity;
We must conquer them dr we perish. How else
shall. we, who. love our country, show our
patriotism? Not ■by compromise, for there is no
compromise that wiu give peace, .either to the North
or South. There iB noway of meeting the rebels
but by overwhelming force. The Government must
sustainits supremacy by the bayonet and the bullet,
or it must perish. To make any other compromise
would, be to surrender the dignify and the power of
the Government, without which there can be no
Government. In this crisis of our country’s dan
ger, there is only one means by which we can. aid
the Government, and that is by considering that
every, insult to the Government is a personal insult.
Let each man discountenance every man, and set of
men, who would give any comfort to the enemies of
the Government. Let there be no more of party*
Let the peopleat home unite, as the soldiers id the
field have done. In the army there ; was a. very fair
proportion of Democrats, but whether Democratic
or Republic an, every soldier was for the Government.
Let every citizen be for the Government and no fear
need be entertained for the result. Let party lines be
submerged for the present. The Democratic party
had recently, in the New Jersey Legislature, passed
resolutions which had the appearance of bidding de
fiance to the Federal Government; but those reso
lutions did not express the sentiments of the people
_of the State. Letthe men of other States look to
it, while they are complaining of New Jersey, that
their own record is clean.’ New Jersey had an
-j-weredto the; call.of the, Govern ment three times
of ourffflg.'whileo^^^^SjmS^n
their quotas. [Applause.] .'While legislative- iS
cords, therefore, may speak an error, the soldier of
New Jersey is vindicating the patriotism and honor
of his State. If there-be. in. the Republican ranks
men who prefer any possihre endveruJhe^deatruc
tion, of slavery, detestable as it is,
preßervation of the Union, mark him well,
lor he will be found to be unworthy of
support. If there he any in the Democratic- party
Who desire the triumph oi Blavery and rebellion, let
that party place them beyond their pale, for they
are the seed of its destruction. Let ua stand by the
law and the Government. We must support the
Administration, for it is the only representative the
Government can have. And there never was a more
conceivable treason than the idea that a man can
support the Government while not supporting the
Administration. [Applause.] Devotion to country
requires sacrifice, and what sacrifice have we made?
Great, indeed, must be our privation and suffering
before we surrender ourflag to the famishing armies
of the South. The devotions we have yet to make
may he large, hut we will not surrender till we have
lost our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.
Mr. Frelinghuysen sat down amid great applause.
The following resolutions were then read and
adopted: • ; •
THE RESOLUTIONS.
Resolved, That in the j adgment of this Convention,
loyalty to the Governmen fc and obedience to its authority
'and foil and.uncondiiional support of aIL the me isu.res
it may adopt for the suppression ofrebellion is the plain,
obvious and imperative duty of every citizen; and. that
all who in any wise obstruct or embarrass the efforts of
the nation to maintain its vital unity, re-establish law,
tranQuility, and ordeivand rescue from destruction the
Democratic principles of self-government, are public ene
mies, and shall be regarded as such by the Government
and the people-'
Resolved, That remembering the patriotic example of
the fathers; the heroism and sacrifice of oar sons and
brothers in the field; the solemn perils of liberty, we,
representatives of the Loyal Leagues ofifewlersey, and
speaking for all loyal Jerseymen, here and now avow
our deliberate purpose to sustain the Gevernment with
influence, purse, and.sword, through whatever sacrifice,
lose, and privation, until armed rebellion
subaueA j-The principle that-majorities shall role is
every where, vindicated, and all citizens. South'as well
as ISorth: shall possess and enjoy, in all their broad re
lations, the. rights and prerogatives of freemen,, guaran
tied to them by the Constitution.
;• Resolved, That we denounce as a libel upon the patri
otism of onr people and an insult to the majesty of the
■ national authority the “Feace and protest resolutions ”
adopted by a portion of our late Legislaturetha t we
are opposed :to any peace or compromise involving a.
capitulation to rebels in arms, or an abdication by the
Government of,the right to live, and that while onr
volunteers are bravely fighting in the field for a peace
having as its basis unconditional submission-by the in
surgents to the Government they helped to and
under which they have never suffered a single wrong,
we who remain at home .will see to it that traitorous
politicians, of whatever name or kind, seeking, any
other result, shall not succeed in one jot or tittle of their
purpose.
Resolved , That the right of a .nation struggling, with
insurrection to possess, appropriate, and ase whatever
element .of strength may inhere in the adversary, is an
necessary right, sustained by reason as by aU
accepted rules of war.
Resolved, That-we pledge to our brethren in the field
our cordial and individual support in all their efforts to
maintain the Union and-crash rebellion, and that we
wilPuse every means in our power to punish treason,
and unite the whole people of our Stare in the maipte-.
name and support of the Government, the’Constitution,
andthelnion. , . - ~
The resolutions having been adopted, Mr. Scovel,
of Camden; was introduced and received with great
cheering. -
SPEECH OF HON. JAMES M SCOVEL.
Mr. Scovel said, how could he follow the gentle
man (Mr. FreHnghuyseD): whose eloquence adds
lustre to a name already histone l .He was there
to speak to the friends of his; country, and that
man was his enemy, who was the enemy of Mb
country, and unwilling to support a good Govern
ment, and to eogage in the noble endeavor to keep
alive the spirit of liberty. Loyalty, says Fernando
Wood, means obedience to the laws—with us it
means fidelity to one’s country. That man who dis
: cusses the meaning of loyalty how, and scorns it, is
a Copperhead, and his illustrious^ancestor was that
shining serpent of whom it might be said:
When Adam first with Eve did wed.
Into the garden came a Copperhead.
He was introduced in New. York as a member of a
Copperhead Legislature, but he made no apology for
his State. He stood by New Jersey. Joe Hooker
has said, where there are no Jerseymen there are no
victories, and her sons have kept stainless the. flag
ihatwe love, and they have borne it in triumph
from Roanoke to Williamsburg. ■ •-v .■
If the peace resolutions have disgraced and dis
honored us, wait till the ballot-box showshow the
holy altar fires of liberty burn again in the State
which claims to be the birthplace of Lawrence, whose •
» never give up the ship’’ ,has made him immortal.
[Applause.] The patriot president had b'een pleased.
to refer to his efforts in the Legislature. He heeded
no encomiums, for having 'done his duty; iFhe did,
the letters he had received fromfNew Jersey regi
ments, in front of Fredericksburg; filled with execra
tions for those who seek peaceatthe. price of our
national honor, repaid Mm a thousand fold for any
sacrifices made on the; side of‘liberty. [ApplaGse,
and cheers.] Let us, aB James Otis (called “ the
incendiary of New England did Sacrifice ease,
estate, applause, and even life itself, at the
sacred call of our country. The President qf
a free people has rested his and . our_ cause
; upon .the constitutional powers of his Govern
ment and upon the concurrence of a loyal
nation: and if you would know how he haß been sus
tained, let New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Con
necticut answer. .. ‘ " . _
• If. ofhers seek to share .the Bpoiis of a ruined na
tion their party becomes.a faction, that faction
contemptible, and its leadera conspirators.
As for us, the speaker said, we know the Govern-,
ment issupreme. Itia the Government of the people.'
We sustain the conscription act, the emancipation,
proclamation,[applause,],and between a section and
the nation we stand now and forever on the side,
of the Republic, and we pray that the flag which
floated over our cradles may float over our graves.
[Loud and enthusiastic cheering ]
Mr. John Y, Foster and others *lbo addressed the
meeting, and it adjourned at a late hour withoheerg
