The Recognition of the Rebellionv
ur/i),nf ffi tie iiuiißß w fi&MIMr -■
A. .FU L L KB POUT.
The following iB a. full report of the debate that
took plaoe in the English House of Commons, upon"
the motion of Mr. Roebuck, in favor of the recogni
tion of the Southern Confedcrftcy : ■
Mr. Roebuck said: Sir, I riae for the purpose of
moving that this order be now.read. in order that it,
may be .discharged. [Cheer's.] I brought forward
the motion under the-feeling, that I was abeut to
ask the House to take astep which would be likely
to put an end to-the terrible carnage now going on
in America, and .which would also De of advantage.
to the conimerciaTinthreats of Great Britain.- [Hear,.
hear.] Formakmg&thiß motion Ihave been sub-:
jected to much came from a very, noisy,
and not very" wise' party, [laughter, and “hear,
hear,’ 5 ] and I ; must say. that my present tietermina-v
tion has not been influenced thereby. Thejioble
lord at the head of the Government, however, has -
stated that the continuance of the debate would be.
an impediment in the way of the good government r
of the country. Feeling that respect.which is-due t t o
the noble lord's belief and wishes, I have induced.,
my honorable friend opposite.{♦lr., Linda Ay) to fore-'
gb his' own 'desire in the matter, when;, the:
noble lord sat down on ‘ Friday -last' he- and jT
were perfectly, -or, at least, very nearly satisfied
with what the noble lord had stated rfhearjrand
if nothing more^had(been said there-would haV3&
been an end of‘tfifeThatter. But, sir, official arrows
gance is a plant ofpartioularly rapid growth. [A
laugh, and “Hear, Hear.?’] . The XJnder-Secretary
for Foreign Affairß. brought a, charge against myl
iilionorable friend; which he thought his; honor called,
on him to'answfer. A Uttle cool reflection taught-?
him that -insinuations- like-these,-codling ff&in* a,j
quarter such .as this, did not need tOibe regarded.'*!
[ u Oh,”. and “ Heaiyhear.V] ,My honorable friend;
then felt that the considerations submitted by,; the;
noble lord at the head of the Government were sfr’
grave that he should fiot ; give: way to anyVfeel-'
ing, on his own part, of wounded pride, aslmay
call it, and should, solely regard, the interest of .his ;
'country,aB pointedputbythe noblelord. [“‘Hear’,’-
hear. 15 ] And-now, sir, when the- matter' isr about* 1
. to pass .entirely from my. control and my deal;’ ,
infli with it thirfi .ii one obisrirgtion I
/mane to-the Dome lorn, se nas, at tne preaent
womens the greatest TCTjponiwWnty outlie Blroultiuisi
1 ] It has been said that the timehas
not yet come for the consideration of this question;.
,;I have yielded to that suggestion, but\let the noble
lord bear in mind that there are two dangers before
us which the Government and the country will have.
to meet. There is the possibility .of a .reconstruc
tion Of the 'Union upon a Southern basis, and there
iB the possibility of an acknowledgmeatof the Con
federate South by the Emperor of the French alone.
- These are two great dangers for'England. [“No,”
;and “Hear v hear.”] The noble lord will;! have no.
doubt, with his long experience,; fully justify the
cobfidenceofthe people, inhis consideration of these
two great jcjuestions. Tleavethem,.sir, without lie-,
sitation, in his hands, though. I must say. that my
own feelings are against the withdrawal of this sub
ject at the present time from the consideration of/
the House. English interests, it-seems to me, de-i
mand the decision ofthe House, aiid.itia only under
a teeDng of great respect for the noble lord that,l
now withdraw my motion. [Hear, bear/}
Mr. Lindsay. . Sir, I wish to say only a very few.
words. There seems to have been, some great mis
understanding on this question. The motion now
to be withdrawn is'to the effect that the House in
vites her Majesty to enter into negotiations with
other Powers for the recognition-ofthe Southern
States of North America. That motion stood on the
paper for about. six weeks. I heard a rumor ten
days or so before tbe motion was to come on that
the Emperor of the French had ohaoged his mind on
this question. How that tumor originated I?know
not, but it was very general. I did not, how
ever, pay any„attention;. Jo it'. .'My honorable.friend •
also.heard it, and dropped The a .note asking me to
.ascertain, if I c'ould, what truth there wasin it,'be
cause, as he. said, it was very important-that he
should know, lest when he brought forward hiß mo
tion eoihe member Of the government should vise
--and aßk, “ What Ts; the good of this motion, when
' one. of the prepared tojoin in a
recognitioh of the South ?’* - My honorable friend
added that be would like very well to see the Em
peror and feam the fact from himself. [A laugh.]
I wrote on thesubject to afriend in Paris, expecting
not that my letter would- reach-the Emperor, * but
’only that mv friendwould, make-, inquiries and in
form me of the result ‘Theletterdid. get to hts Ma
jesty.; I“received an answer stating that I might
give an unqualified contradiction to the rumor. ,-The
•Emperor said,r“ I.have not changed .my mind as to
the desirability of recognizing the South v aod if Mr.
Lindsay and Mr/Koebuck come to. Paris I shall be
very glad to see them,” I handed that note to my
honorable and iearned;friend,/telfing him that -he
Could lead it if the-runior were, referred to ’invthc
House. ;My honorable and learned friend, however,
thoughttbat the note would not be, sufficient/ I
should like, he said; to ascertain the. fact for'-my
self--the: House will .believe -me. [A laugh, and
“hear; hear.”] That was upon the 19 th of June—
a Saturday. : I replied that in my opinion tife note
would Tbe enough, ; and that the House ( would
-believe it had come from an authoritative .source;
-■ but the honorable and learned gen tl ema n P dtfifcpp,r
-! sisted in his desire to go to Paris, I .had no'r^fahio
• intrude myself upon theEinperor, bTit, aB
;able and learned friend was his
intentions from his Majesty himeeifjand as I shared
the anxiety to see this motion .carried, I accompanied
my honorable friend; atgreatihcqavenience.to Paris;
An audience, was at once granted to us j but I pre*
• sume,the House does not for a moment suppose that
1 would make public any which the;
; Emperor of the French -has. been pleased .toehold;
with me, either at that interview or any. other, with
j out his permission. [Hear, hear,] During tharcon-"
. versation, which lasted a considerable time, my honor
able and learned friend pointed out to the Emperor *
the importance of having it clearlyunderstoodthafc
if it should be the pleasure of her to pre
pare to negotiate with him, he would be prepared to
.entre into that negotiation, and my honorable and
learned friend asked that he might be permitted 'to *
make a . statement to- that effect. His Majestyre
plied, “take any means you]think proper to let it be
known that I am prepared to negotiate, 1 , cfad
that there is no truth in the rumor- prevalent
: in England.” All the . Emperor. meant waß
that if the House of' Commons should: pray, her
Majesty to address him on the subject of reoog*
nitionof the Southern States/he would be only too
bappy to enter into negotiations with that object j
believing, as he did, that if the great Powers of Ed*
rope thought it advisable to recognize the Southern
Confederacy, the moral'efftect would be such as to
stay the terrific carnage now going • on -in Americi.
That is the substance of what took place. For my
part; I.was quite satisfied with the statement ofthe
noble lord at the head of the Government on Friday
evening, although, as the House is aware, the course
pursued by my honorable and learned friend has been
the Bubjectoi much comnientr in the public ities.
We. are all exposed to remarks of that kind, ajid,
though we feel we have not done wrong, are.oblired
to bear'with them. X did not-pay a great deal of
attention to the comments of the 1 press in the pre
sent instance, and, after the: statement of the noble:
lord bn Friday evening, and-';the very few wordß I
offered in reply, it was my wish that this very deli
cate matter should be allowed-to-drop. But the
Under SecretaryforForeignAffbirs did not seem ataU
satisfied; in fact, he appeared to>be quite dissatisfied
with what his noble chief had said. He must riise
some fresh matter, must taunt me, as the orgai.s ofthe
Government have done, with beinganamateurdiplo
. m&list—a special envoy—and must read me a moral
lesson, telling me to take care not to falT into the
same trap again. [Cheers and-; laughter. ] I think
the remarks of the honorable gentleman were
upcalled for after, the ,statement which the ri,cbie
lord at the head of the Governmenirhad.made to the/
House. [Cheers.]! The noble lord- had said that no
one had any right to cavils at the course whichlmy
honorable and learned friend and 31 had taken. IHe
. had stated that :her Majesty’s-Government; were yell
aware that for-the last three years and a half I bad
been laboring in a-very importanfrquestion.—a ques
tion of great'interest to the people of-this couatry
as well as to, the people of France in regard tojtiie
• maritime relations between the two countries,and
. that 1 had been not merely vith
their knowledge, but at their wish and with their .
• sanction. [Hear, hear.]*; I may now fltate thajdu*.
ling the whole time.li waaengaged id that busineSsl
. never said anything:to any one on the subject. J’he
' fact never crossed my lips tfiat l had had the honor
of seeing either the Bmperor-or .his I
labored for the; good of my country in. a cpiot'
and unostentatious manner for three years and
a half. [“Hear,-hear,”' and : a laugh.] If I 1 am
an amateur who made me one? It iyaa
her Majesty’s Government, of which the Undersec
retary is a member. [Ohenrs;} It was they who sent
Tne to Paris and deßired me* to do the-work which
they.ought to have done themselves. [Oheers.l Of
course, during the interviews with/which I war fa
vored, the Emperor was pleased to apeak to me on
various subjects.- but-I invariably reported erery
word to her Majesty >a ambassador at Paris [alaugh,]
and I invariably toldi the Emperor that what he
might be pleased»to say to me would be so commu
nicated to Lord.; Cowley. [Hear, hear.] The Under
secretary said on Friday evening that on one occa
sion I waß sent heme on a special mission by the
Emperor, but that he received - a telegram
dicting the statement! made. Who was that-tele
gram Horn? Was it from the Emperor orany of;hls
Ministers 1. If so, it was pasßing strange. But lam
not going :to explain, the circumstances; they are
far too delicate to*be handled in this House; I have
always.been anxious to maintain the friendly rcla
tions between >the;Governmehts of the two coun
' tries, and would be the last -to ! say or do : anything
that would cause any. misunderstanding between the
Emperor of the French and her Ministers.

PROVIDENCE, R. L
Mr. : Newdegate. I rise to order. The House
must now be aware that the coursewhioh/has been
pursued by the honorable And learned member for:
Sheffield and the honorable member-for Sunderland
is not only highly improper, butis likely to be fraught
with serious consequenceß.
Mr. Roebuck. 'is the honorable memberipcak
ingtooiderj {“.Hear, hear.”]: ; ’ «•*
The SrKAKKR. lt does hot appear to me that
what.the honorable member has.Baid can be con
sidered as bearing upon the Question of order.
.[“Hear, hear.”] The question before the House 1b
that an order should be discharged* and nothing has
occurred in the debate on that question, which, in
my opinion, can be regarded as out of order. [“ Hear,
hear.”] '
Mr; Newdegate again rose to address the House,
but he was interrupted by
The Spkakkr, who added: -And, as what I have
now said appears to receive the sanction of the-
House, it is the duty of'tho honorable member to
acquiesce in it. [Cheers:]
f . 3Vli\ Lindsay. I hope nothing will fall from ray
lipß Wbich can. be deemed. unparliamentary* or
against order. [Hear, hear.] No one ever heard a
whisper from me of any .conversation I have- had
with the Emperor of the French until the 23d of last
month, when, incidentally, T obtained liberty .to.
make certain statements. I have refrained from
making.; .those statements, and will not make them.
. now. ,1 will rather bear the reproaches of tLe Under
secretary than let one word fall'from,my lips that
would, tend to disturb, in however slight a:degree,
the harmony which is generally supposed: to. exisi
between her Majesty’s Government arid the Empe
ror of the French [cheers and -laughter}, and which
really, exists between the ,Emperor ofthe French
and. the people of England,[Cries of. “,Oh!’ v and
cheers], Unleßß her . Majesty ’s Miniatera drive me
' to make the . statements .referred to—and Tam in-,,
clined to,think they will not do so [a laugh]—.! shall
not trouble the House with them. But, as theUn
der-Secretaiy said that he received a telegram
, from Paris coitradictingme—whether fromthe Em
peror or by his otders I do not may briefly
Btate that the conversation in. question took place on
the iith April, 1862. It was on ; the hubjeot of Ame
rican affaire, and related to. the past, but had refer
ence alao to the future. I listened to what the Empe
ror said to me with considerable pain. He asked me
particulurly.toreport the conversation to Lord Cow
ley. . I said tbat lvWaa to dine with Lord Cowley,
the same evening/and would probably have an op-,
portunity of speaking to him. I had not that op
portunity, but.at parting I told Lord: Cowley that
the me to repeat a conversa
tion to him!". 5 OH the following morning ! repeated
to Lord ,Cowley the whole of the, conversation, and
i then ITsaid to him, in the mosti
“Now, in sendingnotesoftheconveraatiori. to Earl

W the IBMOUII why the Empetot hM been flawed

to have this conversation with me ; there must be
no misunderstanding on that point.” I said to Man .
further, that the Emperor had asked me to return to
him with any remarks which hiß lordship might be .
§ leased, to make upon the conversation held by his .
lajesty with me. [A. laugh.] I had invariably
considered it my duty to report to Liord Cowley
anything which the Emperor might be pleased; to
- say to me, bflt I had never reported to the Emperor
any thing which Lord Cowley Baid to me. '[Laugh
ter.] Honorable members may laugh, but they will
• see the bearing of tbls presently. [Hear.] I said to
Lord Cowley, “ Anything yotfplease to say I will
report to the Emperor at his desire; therefore, say
as much or as little as'you like.” : I returned to the*

had taken. - [A; laugh.] On my return to London I
was urged to repeat the conversation to Earl Russell.
. and the noble lord at the head of the Government.
I felt a great deliea'oy when that request Was made
to me [a laugh], and said that Lord Cowley had re
ported, the conversation already to Earl Bussell. It
• is exceedingly unpleasant to me to be obliged to
make these , statements. I came from Paris, and l
was not allowed an v opportunity of repeating the
to Earl Bussellor the zioble lord at the
•head of the Government, [Laughter.] A corres-
Sondence passed! I returned to Paris. It was his
lajesty’s/pleasure ' again, to see me. ; By his re
quest 1 wrote * to the "noble viscount on my re
turn, to London. . I sent !back to Paris a copy of
the letter which.l had written to the'ttoble visoount,
'and/also a-copy of his 1 answer, by the noble vis
/.count’s desire, and I said, “ I have performed to the/
.’/best of my ability this-very .delicate duty. Not one ■
person sball ever know from my lipß* what trans
pired.” The House does'not know now what trans- ;
spired,.: [A laugbiL/IJiave/not even mentioned the
subject to any one until it was incidentally alluded .
•to the other day.' Therefore, if it be the case, as. the
honorable member says, that he received a telegram"
«by order of the Emperor such as he described; why >
did his Majesty, when I returned to Paris, not say,
U I can’t see.you'?” Tf I had been. the imprudent
person, the. busybody that the honorable gentleman
tried to/make me .out, what would-have/been the
Emperor’s;message for me when I went to Paris 1
"Why, this—“ Tell that gentleman when he calls
that I am not at-home.*?’-fLaughter.] .Therefore, it'
is ..verystrange in4eed;if the .honorable Under-Secre
tary received 5 the telegfam he spoke of." With theae
few remarks, therefore—and I nave been obliged in
self-defence to Bay. more than I desired to say—l will
now leave, the matter; and I hope the Government
w.ill not force me,to say any more. [Hear, hear.]
. Lord' Palmerston. I 'thirik'inyhonorable' and
learned friend has judged rightly in moving to dis
cbarge.the order. As I stated on a former occasion.
-J think that no'good could arise from a debate and a
division on'the resolution of my honorable and
learped friend. . [Hear, hear.] I mutt, howeyer,
express my regret that my honorable and learned
friend, «and. my-honorable friend the member for
Sunderland, should .have .mixed up,with this well
cohßidered: decision of theirs *an attack upon my
honorable friend the Under-Seoretary for .Foreign

occasion, namely, that of communicating to ■ Lord
that wbichhad been stated to them, and
that which'it was important to make known to the
Go vernmen t. ’My honorable friend; the member for -
Sunderland, said, very truly, he had been in com
munication with the Emperor of thp French for the
last ..three years on subjects connected with com--
merce and navigation*/-He/rather. implied that he
was employed by her Majesty’s Government for that
purpose./That is not exactly the case. [A laugh,
and “hear, hear.”] /The.honorable member stated
that he - was going to Paris, and thought, from
.his •/, commercial ■knowledge and hia acquaint
ance With navigation, that he might be able to con
vey to the Emperor information whichmightbe use
ful to hiih as a foundation for his measures. He
stated that to me'and-to my noble friend at the head
of theiForeign Office, and we said, “ We should be
very glad that you should do that.’’ We did not ask
him to do it. He offered and we accepted *[a laugh],
and we gave hiih an introduction tb Lord (Jotvley in
orderthat he might'procure-access to the Emperor
for /that.purpose. So far, what he did was perfectly
regular, w,ell considered, and founded on the best in
tent ions; Of course my honorable friend has In
form htion which we have not in the same detail,
and from his own practical experience he could give
usefuMnfomation to ;tbe;Emperor; with a view to
the framing of future legislation on the French
maritime code. But then my honorable friend'went
on to say that, having returned to this country, he
offered to communicate to my noble friend and myself
the result of his communications with the Emperor,
and that he got a letter from me, which was written,
X think, from the country. As far as t can recollect,
for I have not refreshed my 'memory by looking at
that letter, I have no doubt that what I then stated
was what I state now—viz* that if the Emperor of the
French, in consequence ofHtherepresentations and
information laid before him bymy honorable friend,
had any proposal to make to the British Govern
ment, that proposal ought to come-through some .
responsible channel; either through the Emperor’s
ambassador here or through our ambassador at
Paris.' It is not the habit of the English'Govern
ment to carry onwhat may be called a
macy. -[Hear, hear.]- We have public and 1 official
organs of communication with foreign Powers; and/
I think it highly objectionable to have private com
munications: made through : individual members
touching those matters which ought/to be the sub
ject of official communications. That; was what I
stated, I trust; courteously, to my honorable friend ;
and that was' the reason why/I thought it better
that we should not receive any communication com
ing from -the/Emperor/through him/ I did not
intend to offer any discouragement, to the useful
exertions, of my honorable friend in seekingtoinfuse
more liberal principles into the. French Govern
ment. ;:T simply meant to saythat it is highly
objectipnablej:for ;her Majesty’s Government to
be employing private : persons,: however ho
norable "or intelligent, in carrying on. com
munications with foreign Governments, - instead
.of'conducting them through the official and le
• gitimate, organs. * This case is; entirely > different
, from that of my honorable friend the member for
Bochdale, because he was employed by the Govern
ment to negotiate in' concert with our amhaveador.
at Paris ;.and although, he was too high*minded to
‘ receive, any actual appointment or salary, he* was
. deadly a diplomatic agent, employed, specifically by.
the Government for a special purpose. My, honor

/holdsthat character. Hewas a private gentleman
going to Paris to give information* which he pos^
.. Eessed ih' an eminent degree; and which, would be
veiy useful ;-but hc. was not employed by. the
vernment, and, therefore, I< thought, and* my noble
friend ;also~thp.ught; it was. not desirable that we
should have backward and forward .communications
, between her Majesty’s Government-'and the Bm
peror of the French through my. honorable friend.

andl trust we shall have no further-debate-as to
what was said by-.th&Emperor; or whaf wa&said by

that if the Emperor had thought him a*busybody,

himself from any possible imputation of sharing in:
the smallest degree in the vindictive feelings .which
had manifestly taken possession of that honorable

: There might be a difference of opdnioii; he had stated •

so far forget what they; owed to ; America as to be
; come consenting parties tb a policy whioh ostensibly
bad for its object the recognition of independence
of the South/but in-reality bought; by recognizing
' the South,* to take the surest and safest means of
striking a deadly blow at the greatneßß and prospe
rity. of America.[Hear, hear.] .He should say no
more on this occasion but that he was sorry the mo
tion of the honorable and learned gentleman had not '
; received An emphatic denial by. the House. ' [Hear,
hear.] Though his sympathies, leaned more to the
North than to the South, it was simplylbeoause the
object of the North' had been the of

/South, .the Union be restored; he would
equally, rejoice, considering that one o& the greatest
calamities'that could befal, not only Amerioa, but
the-wbrld; had been arrested. [Hear, hear.]

Tq (fie Editor Qf Tfte I’ress;
Sir: Among many other curious and interesting
relics and trophies that fell into our possession by
the capture of the rebel wagon train, are a batch of
letters written by some of Xjee’s army during their
sojourn in our neighborhood. Some of them have
evidently.been written by decent men—welleducated,
and who hardly liked the part they were acting
others arc rich as literary curiosities, and all of
them full of boasts as to what they are going to do
before leaving the free States. They are doubly in
teresting now that the danger is over, for they show
us what we have escaped, and what they would
like.to have done if they could.
The .first one is written in penoll on a leaf evi
dently torn from an officer’s memorandum book, and
is as follows:
Fayetteville, Pa., 28th June, 1863.
My Eariing Leon : l am well, and in Pennsyl

Jußt to think of buying everything as cheaply as
before the w*r> and for Confederate money to boot!
Gen eral-Jj eeh a a issued very stringent orders about
pillaging, so suffer very little—nothing
to be compared with the suffering our people have
to undergo. I wish we were allowed to burn a few
houses and towns, so these Dutchmen might find out
what war is. Tbe people of this county are the most
craven set I ever saw; they are nearly frightened
to death.
You did not think when I left you, six weeks ago,
that I "would be in Pennsylvania so soon, and at
first I could hardly realize it myself, but I certainly
am here, and if I keep on travelling at the rate I
have been going for the last two weelta„l will have

Gen. Lee hns issued an order on the subject. I sup

committed by the enemy in/their own homes.
We got in about 100 good heavy horses to*day, and
will continue to take them until our wagon trains
are hot only supplied, but increased to an extent
sufficient to take enough in the way of provisions
to carry us home. „
I will tjy to'get two good horses and a wagon for

Please tell Mrs. Jackson that I still have her letter

Hospitality of the People ©f Gettysburg
- and Vicinity.
To the Editor of The Press
Sir: In S'hePress of to-day (Saturday, July 25)
I observe a .communication front'a Mr. L. L,
Crounse reflecting severely- upon the hospitality
and patriotism of the-people of Gettysburg and vi
cinity. MrV C. complains, of a want, of enthusiasm-,
on the part of the people of Gettysburg whenour
victorious troops finally, entered, the town. With
twenty thousand wounded soldiers arouad them*it.
was no disparagement to their patriotism that their
time; their services, their ;housea, and their means
were first devoted to the alleviation of that great
world of misery.i ,X think I but speak the universal
sentiment of the gallant Army of the Potomac
when I assert that the -loftiest ‘tribute which the
people of Gettysburg could pay to its bravery was
unremitting attention to the wants of the wounded
and dying. .-vt.. /;
; Again, Mr,.C. complains that fewer national ban
ners were displayed when ourvictorious troops pass
edthrough, “than there have been on-many a cavalry
gallopsde through the heart of Virginia.”, To this
I reply.: Firs*, That a large portion L of the flags be
longing to the citizens* hSd. been carried; off by the
rebels previous td:the battle. Second, .That at'the
time our army passed through, those who were still
in the possession of flags, were ncarly all engaged in
waiting upon the wounded; TAmi, That a citizen’s *
loyalty is not always to be measured by the.display
he makes"of national flags. Many a traitor shields'
bis treason behind the flag of his country.:
A word or two in regard to extortionate-prices.
Two weeks’ sojourn in Gettysburg, iii a-position re
quiring me to make frequent purchases of such arti
cles as are usually in the greatest demand, on such'
occasions; enables me' tb give the following .list of
prices paid-by me: Best sirloin steak, procured from*
the principal butcher, Mr. Qodofi, 12 cents per pound;
inferior pieces from.B>to 10 cents j'best veal 1 cutletß,
10 cents per. pound ; whole hind quarters, 7to Scents;.
butter, whenitcould be procured, 2o.to26cehts ; eggs,
per dozen, 20 to 25 cents ;ffirst quality cream, 12 -cents
per quart: new l milkv4 centsj akim milk,2.«entfl-j;
meals at the principal hotels, 50- cents; -at private
houses, gratis; bread at city; prices, and articles-of
hardware, tubs, buckets, at regular retail rates.
That.there may have been exceptions to these prices
may Dot be denied ;,but where extravagant prices
were charged, it was not .by citizens, .but by those
sharpers—camp followers—who are always ready to*
; take advantage of the necessities of others.
Now, when it is-remembered that the whole coun**
try, for many milee around Gettysburg, had* been
• first plundered by the*rebels, and wnat remained waa
r’equired for the use of our own troops-; ; when almost
every blanket and article of wearing- apparel; from,.:
the father’s overcoat down to the- baby’s clothing,
had been carried off by Lee’s.soldiers when.every
: barrel of flour, every,loaf'of bread, ev.ery ham, and
shoulder, and side-piece, hadTbeem sent beyond> the
' Potomac, and e-very ox,.and covv,.and• oalf;.that had
not been driven away by the owners, made-to-foUovfr
- it is not surprising that scarcity should prevail,; and
higher prices-th'an ordinary rule : theday in* Gettys
burg;: Not a wisp of straw nor a truss o£ hay could
be had in the town;.for love or money. Every par-,
tide of it had been appropriatedfor the purpose of
making beds and pillowafo? the wounded.
In conclusion, let me ask, What good con. follow
such attack*?'
The people of Gettysburg andvlcinity haw suf
fered heavily... Not oniy were-they first despoiled
by 'the rebels, but the subsequent demands upon
their time, and resouacea havo been. ; exceedingly
onerous. I met several /farmers,, who, had been so
thoroughly plundered by the rebels that theywere
compel]ed.to oome to Gettysburg to; purchase bread
for their ButferiEg families. Let these facts be borne
in miad by those who are disposed; to oensure. 1

THESE CENTS.
The national Debt.
[From the Boston Advertiser, July 25, ]
Although the financial policy of the Secretory of
the Treasury has bees and still is the subject of some
difference of opinion, we think that Mr. Chase can
fairly claim to be recognized by all parties asan ac
curate prophet of the increase of the public debt.
Starting with a debt of $90,86X328 on the Ist of July r
1861, he estimated in his report made in December of
that j ear that on the Ist of July, 1862; the debt
would amount to $517,372,802. It&d, in fart/atthat •
date, amount to $514:211,372, as appears by hie re
port of December, 1862. In that document he esti
mated that on the first day of the present month the
AfgtwouldiWnountto increasing the
lliXUt 4151.M11 MU. It now appean/ront^aleme^^
drawn from official sources, that the debt amounted,
in fact, at the beginning of the current mooth to
$1,097,274,366, an aDiiroximation which is truly ro
markable, in an account of such vast magnitude. It
might be entertaining to compare this singuJar ac
curacy of prediction with so me of the .wild estimates-,
made at a time of financial difficulty by the last of
Mr, Chase’s predecessors under the old regimey Mr.
Howell Cobb ; but such a comparison is not needed,
either to establish Mr. Chase’s reputation for fore
sight, or to depress that of Mr. Cobb.
There is of course a certain amount of in
debtedness still unliquidated, consisting of ar
rears pay? to the army, and. to
and of similar claims, which must beadded;to the
amount above stated to give a precise statement
of the position of the Treasury at this time.
That amount is not large, however, and, it is esti
mated, would notmake the amount vary materially
from the estimate made by Mr. Chase last Decem
ber. There was also an unliquidated debt of the same
sort due from the Treasury at the same period .last
year, at least equal in amount to the same class of
indebtedness now outstanding. It follows, there
fore, that the allowance to be made for claims of
this sort does not materially affect the Accuracy of
the Secretary’s prediction as to the rate at which the
debt of the country would be found to increase. In
deed, if it be thecaße, as wesuepfretythat the debt
of this sort is now less than it was at the beginning
of the last fiscal year, it will be seen the more dis
tinctly that Mr. Chase is a prophet, whoße_errors
fall on the safe aide, and that, so far from being too
sanguine in his calculations, he prefers to overstate
the probable obligations of the country, rather than
deceive by too narrow an estimate.
The general success of Mr. Chase’s calculations,
and thefact that his errors tend to overshoot themark
rather than fall short of it, are circumstances which
glve'DO small weight to his estimate of the increase
of the debt for the year which haswiow begun. In
his report, made in December last, after making the
estimate which has just been so: closely verified, he
says that “on the supposition that the war may be
continued with undimiDished disbursements until the
-Ist of July, 1864, the debt likely to have been then
incurred must be estimated at $1,744,685,587.” This,
as it appears from the past experience with Mr.
Chase’s estimates, may be taken as an “outside”
calculation, showing the moßt that ia to he looked
for in anyevent j qnd large as it is ? it fallß short im
sscnßelyof-tlie gloomy yrcrttctaoiiq ofthc of
the war, many of whom are fond of statins* the na
tional debt, even now, at 11 two billions of dollars,"
upon elements of calculation best known to them
selves, indeed, the aspect of the war iB now such as to
warrant the hope that the condition of Mr. Chase’s
prediction—that the war continues through the year
“with undiminished disbursements”—may not oc
cur, and that the Government expenditure may fall
far short of hiß estimate. We do not enter now
into the question how long the wai>.iB likely to last
in some form or other, after the defeat of the great
; armies of the rebellion. It seems to us very clear, ;
however, that the immense current of success which :
has now Bet in favor of the Union is so breaking
down the strength of the rebels, as to greatly in
crease the probabilities that the Government will
be able at ah early day to diminish its expenses.
The theatre of war is being rapidly circumscribed
within narrower limits, and the burden of the hos
tilities is likely to be diminished in almost similar
proportion. There is.therefore at leaßt ground for
hope,.that in his next report the Secretary of the
Treasury may see cause to diminish considerably
his anticipations of the amount of our indebtedness
at-this time next year.

Letter from Attorney-General Bates.
At'a great Union meeting in St. Louis, an ad mira
bleletter from Judge Bates was read. Acknowledg-
compliment of invitation, the Judge wrote;
Individuals may object (with whatever show of
reason) to particular measures of the National and
State Governments. But is it wise to quarrel about
such questions now? Is it patriotic to waste our
energies and destroy our power for good at a moment
when the Constitution is in danger and our very na
tionality is at stake? Is it loyal in men professing
loyalty to wrangle and destroy eachOtherin bootless
quarrels upon minor questions ofpolicy and pru•
dence, for no good to any one but the. common ene
my? I think not. Atauchatime asthis ifcis not
meet for every nice-offence to bearits own comment.
Let us, then, first labor with united heart and hand
for the restoration of the Government of the Nation
and the State. When that is done—when order and
peaceful labor have returned to bless us—when jus
tice once more flows in the even channels of the law
—then the people will have ample opportunity and
convenient means 'quietly to settle all disturbing
questions of policy according to their deliberate will.
Until then, I am fully perßuaded.that prudence and
patriotism-alike require us zealously and patiently,
to sustain both the Governments in all their mea*
sures intended (whether wisely or unwisely, as we
may happen to think), for the restoration of peace,
and order, and law. .
To oppose the Governments now, is to oppose the
country itself, for they are our only representatives
of the Nation and the State. To destroy them is to'
rush headlong into anarchy; and to- degrade and
weaken them, is to give aid and comfort to the
enemy. Such opposition nqw, under all the perilous
circumstances which surround us, seems to me fac
tious in, character and revolutionary, in,tendency:
and if it could be, successful (which, thank God, it.
cannot); it would, in all probability, lead to-a revo
lution bloodier that any. we have yet seem For the
last-three’ yearß th'e people of Missouri have been
stirred and maddened by the fiercest passions*. • Vio
lence and war ,have disturbed every section of the
Statej- and a painful -feeling: of insecurity has 'per
vaded the whole body politic. Now, the one thing
needful for us is repose. And to what earthly power
can we look for repose, but, to the lawful Govern
ments of the nation and the State?’ Rally, then, to
the flag that .they bear, and sustain them with alh
your power. So long as they act harmoniously to
gether, for a common end,-mutually sustaining each
other, and backed by your united support, they may
bid defiance to all friends
or avowed enemies. h
Even this perilous crisis-cannot wholly suppress
the pernicious spirit of party nor tame the reckless
passion of political amhitioni lam persuaded that
a large portion of the opposition to particular mea
: sures of both the Governments, and more than half '
the‘ denunciations against the President’and the
Governor spring from an eager desire and a precon*
xerted plan to organize parties with a view to.the
coming Presidential election.. Time will aho w.whe
ther lam right or. wrong in this surmise; The pre
sent time seems to me the most unfortunate-for the
; agitation of disturbing questions among loyal men.
The tide of war has just turned, victory has crowned:
. our army in the lower Mississippi. The great river
is-open, and now its commerce will flow as free as
waters, to the gulf, and all of us will feel the
-iranquilizing and invigorating effect of the- great
achievement.
No doubt both the Governments have committed
errors and mistakes ;it would be a miracle if it were
not so. Still, let us not indulge in carping censures,
nor be drawn into profitless and dangerous-opposi
tion, until have finished their : good work.
Then, when our flag floats in peace oyer every acre
of our” territory, and we have returned to our-ac
customed modes of thought and aetion, all honest
differences among the people may be safely Bottled 1
in the tranquil method of the Constitution;
James Monroe on tlie Power of the Gene
ral Government'to Draft,
The disasters that attended our arms in>lBl3-aml
1814 rendered it necessary-to adopt other measures*
to form a new,army, and President Madison recom
mended to Congress in his message'that entire de
pendence on the militia be discarded, that' the regu
lar army he filled up, and 100,000 men be raised by a
draft to-be ordered by" the General Government.
Then, as now, it : was urged that- the regular- army
could be filled only by. voluntary enlistments, and 1
that the Government had no power to draft; This*
position was met by Secretary l ©! State Monroe aa<
follows:
“ Congress has a. right,:iby, the Constitution,, to
raise regular armies, and.no restraint is imposed in
the exercise of it, except in the provisions which are
intended to guard against the abuse of powerj with
none of which does this plan interfere.•»lt would,
be absurd to suppose' that Congress- eould not carry
this power into effect otherwise than by accepting
the voluntary service of individuals. It mighfc hap*
pen that an army.could. not be raised in-that mode,
whence the power would-have been granted in vain.
“ The'safety of the State might depend-on' such an>,
army. ,The f idea that th@> United States cannot raise
a regular army in any other mode than by accepting
the voluntary service of individuals' is* believed to
be repugnant to the "aniform- construction- of all
grantsof powers andequally bo to the ■ first princi--
pies and leading objects.of the Federal compact. An
unqualified grant of Rower gives: means neces-.
sary to carry it into effect. This is- an universal
maxim which admita-of no exception.; EQuallytrue
is it that the conservation of the State-is a .duty pa
ramount to all othsrs. The C&mmohwealth has a
right to the service:Of all its citizens, .or ratheP'the
citizens composing the Commonwealth have aright*,
collectively and individually, to.servic&of each-oth
er to repel any danger which may be menaced.: The:
manner inwhich. the service is- to be apportioned
i among the citizens, .and rendered - by them,.are oh*
jectaof legislaticm. All th&t-is to bedreaded insuch
case is the abuse of power* and hazily our- Con
atitution Haß provided .ample security against- that:
•evil.r '• r '--
“ But ifta said by the men from-the»mLLL*
tia service into the regular army, and? putting. them-,
tmder.regul&stofficers, y&u-v-iolate a-principle of'the-
Constitution, which provides-that the militia shall
be commanded by thea-ownofScers. If this- was
the fact, the concluskm/would follow. But such

The Pittsburg Gazette say Mr. James Hamitf/*
the oarsman, whose recent with Mr. Ward,
of New York, has created so much excitement
among sportsmen, arrived in this city yesterday#
He explains his defeat in a few words. He Btatea
that no fairness whatever was shown him either b f
Ward or his friends. At the start Ward got B two
lengths ahead, owing to the bungling manner inwhich,
the signal was giyen. This advantage was overcome
before the first two mileß had been pulled, when Ward
Ending himself falling behind, pulled over against

place. Hamill’g oar was at one time under Ward’a
boat, and he would have stopped then and claimed
foul pjay, but still believed himself able to win, not
withstanding this shabby treatment., I& turning
-the buoy, a number, of Bteamerß neared him#
and the waves greatly retarded his progress.
Besides, Ward.waß followed by a four-oared
row boat, the men in which- kept posting
him as to how he should steer, while Hamill
had to. look ahead for himself. These four were
the only men who saw Ward run against Hamill’s
oar, and when the oharge of foul play was heard by
the judges, they (being Ward’s friends) testified
that the fouling was accidental.. Hamill encouc*
tered many other annoyances—was followed and
hooted at by oarsmen whom he had beaten at
Boston, and was treated very shabbily through
out the race. With all these disadvantages he
was only beaten ; three lengths, instead of ten , as
reported. .When the contest was decided, a
New York sporting man waited on Ward, and
offered to put up $2,000 for a match the next day, on
the same course, but Ward refused. A Pittsburger,
who backed Hamill, offered to put up a similar sum
for a race oh the Schuylkill or Harlem river, but
Ward backed out flatly again. Hamill, however,'is
determined that Ward shall row him again, am is
confident of his ability to beat him at all times on a
fair race.
—General Banks, writes a correspondent from
New Orleans, is here reposing fora few days upon
his laurels, and dearly has he earned them. When
a comprehensive history of this campaign comes to
be written, and a fair estimate is made of what the
General had to accomplish and the means placed at
his disposal for doing it, it will be found that no
commander has produced such grand results fronT
such thoroughly inadequate materials since the war
began. Ist. He was further off than any other from

The report of the capture of a cabinet of letters
belonging to Jefferson Davis, in Mississippi, is fur
nished aB follows by a correspondent of the Herald ,
at date of July 12, from Jackson. If not merely
sensational, the statement is veryjimportant: r
“Yesterday a company of cavalry escorting a
foraging train learned from a negro where the ex
tensive library of Jeff Davis was secreted.'-They
proceeded to the house, and there found.thous&ndK
of volumes of books, several bushels of private and
political papers of the arch-traitor, written by
traitors North and traitors South, Some of these
papers were brought into camp, .and served as
novel literature for our officers _ and men. In addi
tion to these, several valuable gold-headed walking
canes were found, one of them presented toDavU^
by Franklin Pierce: on another one was the in
scription, 4 From .a Soldier to a Soldier’s Friend.*
In many of the letters the subject of secession was
warmly discussed.' Some, of these letters date back
aB far as 1852. Many of the more prominent writers
accept the separation of the North and the South as
a fortgODe.conclusion,but only disagree as to ho wand
when it Bhould be done., Davis is alluded to as the
political Moses in this measure, and the allusions to
him would seem as if he was looked upon in the
light of a dlemi-god.” .
