Pope Joan.
There is a popular belief, even among
well-instructed persons, who ought to repel
it, that a female, generally called " Pope
Joan," occupied the Papal throne at Rome
immediately after the death of LEO IV., in
the year 855; continued in it for two years,
taking the title of JOHN VIII.; performed
many sacred functions ; ordained and insti
tuted ; was universally believed to be a man,
until her sex was detected by her giving
birth to a son in open day and in the midst
of the solemnities of a religious procession
to the Lateran vasilica, and was stoned to
death by the people on the spot. Dr. Jo•
snru lesiATrus von DoLLINGEM., a learned
Catholic'divine in Bavaria, who is now wri
ting the History of the Papacy of the Mid
dle Ages; has recently' published, at Mu
nich, a small volume, entitled " Papst-
Fabejn des Mittealters," which may be
literally translated "the Papal-fables of
the ; Middle Ages." He shows that
the tradition of Pape JOAN, invented to
throw .a slur on the Church of Rome, was
not otnrunitteetteo'Qting until the year 1250,
nearlyhur centuries aftethe given date of
her imputed reign. STEPHEN DE BOURBON,
a French Dominican, writing in 1250, first
mentioned Pope Jong, quoting from a nearly
contemporaYy chronicle by MARIN - US SIM
MS. After him came MARTxnus PoLorzus,
a Cisterian monk, who wrote a "History of
the Popes." In his original work not, a
word was said of- the-lady ; the oldest writ
ten transcripts of his book contain no men
tion of her, but in some subsequent ones
her name is placed on the margin. In 1312
',-she was introduced into the body of the
book, and this, though MARTINI/H, had taken
great pains to prevent any interpolation, for
he had disposed of the life of each "Pope in
exactly as many lines as equalled the num
ber of years in his reign, and every page of
his manuscript contained precisely fifty
lines—equal to half a century—on his plan.
How, then, was the statement about Pope
JOAN introduced? It happened that the
eight-years reign of LEO the Fourth (847-
855) was so barren of incident that the his
torian could not fill up eight lines with its
annals, and therefore had to leave a space
in his page, which eventually allowed the
legend of a female Pope to be there smug
gled-in.
She is described there as a native of
lilentz, who came to Rome in the ninth
century with an English lover, was then
disguised as a man, and, having acquired
great learning, was ordained to the priest
hood as a man, was finally elected successor
to Pope LEO IV., and wore the tiara for
two years. It is further stated that her name
was AGNES. The name under which she
was instituted was ,To?Eurlrills—one of the
commonest in the, papal list, there having
been twenty-three Popes Jortx between the
years 526 and 1410; and, in the-whole roll,
only sixteen G.NEGORIES, fourteen Cur.-
MENTS, fourteen Baxamers, twelve - (lal le d
lallocarr, and twelve called-Lao.
The tradition evidently WU a poprilar one
before it was taken up by the learned.
Early in the fifteenth century it found such
universal belief, that the bust of Pope JOAN
was placed in the row of Papal busts in the
Cathedral of Scenna. JOHN Huss quoted
her ease, at the Council• of Constance, to
justify his *gent attacks on the Papacy,
•
an no objection was raised, nor denial
-
GEBsoic, in a speech before BONED=
8111., quoted her case, to show that the
Church cov/cl err in point of fact. Before
„
the Council . ` of Constance another speaker
alluded to her, to show that obedience to
the Church should not depend on the per
sonal qualifications of the Pope, and in the
middle of the fifteenth century, even Cardinal
TORRECREMATA, who strongly advocated
the power of the Papacy, took for granted
that there had been a Pope JOHN (or Jo-
Rex), and concluded that even a heretic
might be Pope without the whole constitu
tion of the Church being thereby endangered.
Still, well-informed writers, in later times,
have discredited this singular and, we may
add, very improbable legend. Grnnow de
clared that the female Pope was a myth.
RANEE, in his history of the Popes, arrived
at the same conclusion, and, in 1649, long
before the time of GIBBON and RAN ,
writer named BLONDEL published a treatise
at Amsterdain, written in French, and enti
tled " Familiar Solution of the Question,
Did a Female Sit in the Papal Chair be
tween LBO W. and BEEEDXCT M.?"
How the legend arose it is now inipossible
to say, but why it was circulated, and final
ly interpolated into history, is readily en
plained—namely, to cast discredit on Papa
cy, for many other base stories were invent
ed with the same purpose. Pour circum
stances are said' to have aided to confirm
the popular belief. First, a statue, sup
posed to be a figure (enceinte) in woman's
clothes, was discovered in. a certain place
in Borne. Secondly, .a stone with an in
scription on it was found- in that same place.
Thirdly, a peculiar sort of chair was made
use of when a new Pope was installed.
Lastly, Roman processions were in the ha
bit of taking -a circuitous route, so as- to
avoid a certain street. The accomplished
writer to whose account of Dr. DiiLLINGEn'S
book we are much indebted, meets these four
points with much_ shrewdness. He says :
" Of course, the popular mind constructed
hypotheses on these, last two,circumstanees,
although the street was avoided by proces
sions, because it was too narrow for them.
to pass, and the chair which was such a
suspicious object; was only an old Roman
bath chair. The statue was, in itself; no
thing remarkahle, but was taken in con.-
nexion,with• the stone that bore an inscrip
tion, and was supposed to be --a tombstone.
This stone seems to have been erected by a
priest of Mithras, whose name was PAM
MOs; but, by the same.law as that recorded
in The Antiquary,' which converted
Aiken Drum's lang ladle' into Agricola
dicavit libens hibens,' the inscription PA
rimus pater patrum proprii peCimiit pO
- came to signify Papa pater patrum
Repent papissa papellum' "—in other words,
that the inscription recording how PAM-
Bras erected the stone at his own proper
charge, hiving become so illegible that
only portions of each• word could be made
out, -- popular belief interpreted these por
tions to record that the Head of the Church
had produced a little she-Pope. The whole
story, from first to last, is fictitious. There
never was a female Pope, or the slightest
foundation for- imagining that there' was,
although two books have been published,
within the last twenty years, to prove that
the tale is - rue.
The other subjects discussed in Dr. DU,
LlNOalt'S curious book are the following
Was CONsTANTIRE baptised by the Pope,
as none but the head of the Church could
receive the head of the world into the fold?
did CONSTANTINE really make that dona
tion of all lands to the head Of-the Church,
by which the temporal_ power came -into
being-? was' there- a Pope who:abdicated,
- and another who deposed himself' for said=
fichlg to the heathen gods.?
Tex DiliZior Ax TUB W.EBV.Oonsplaint hat been
made that while- the Eastern Staten have been
called upon for additional quotas, the drains not
enforced at the West. So far as two of the Western
States are concerned, there is no call to enforce the
draft. Illinois is credited at the War Department
with an excess of 40,000 on previous calls, which is
more than is required underthe new draft. Indiana
has 3,000 to raise under the new call, which will be
done by volunteering. Ohio has also, we believe , .
but a , email deficiency .. These. States, recruited
three. years men ,under the call for nine-montbi
men lett year; and hence the excess. It is a pity
that the other States did not pursue the same Course.
We should now have an ample force of disciplined
troops if the term of service of the nine•raoaths
men had been more extended.

From an Occasional Correstondent.)
As we are now encamped In a beautiful woods in

which it located on a hill with a fine view of the
surrounding country, there is en entire suspension
of bueinees, except mak se is sanctioned by the Go
vernment for army oupplies r indeed, the town is
deserted by all except the softer sex and a few old
men, nearly all of whom are dressed in mourning
for eceased friends who have fallen in the rebel
army. The ladies are true to the Seeeet, cauee,
and let no opportunity pass to* express their pre
ference for the Southern Confederacy, and contempt
for Union soldiers, while they depend on our com
missary department for many;things indispensable
to their living, and, when interrogated as to the oath
of allegiance, reply, " We were born in the United
States, and have not done anything to deprive us of
our rights." Nearly every house fe furnished .with
a Union guard, even outside of our picket line. One
of the guards with whom I met told me he was sta
tioned three mites outside of the line, and :showed
me hie pees, which read as follows:

Confederate soldiers. Signed, H- H. S.
Some have added the words: "11 incubi not aid our
cause to arreat kir/I,' , and when our men are picked up
by the prowling bands of Secesh marauders, these
high-toned F. F. '.'s tell us that these bands are
not of the regular Confederate army, hence they
cannot control them. Many of these ladies have

HEADQUARTERS, STRVHNSOir,
Alabama, August 29:
A YORTION.OF OUR ARMY OVER THE RIVER.
I am, therefore, compelledto believe that the little
difficulty we experienced in crossing the river to-day
was owing to the already accomplished fact of the
evacuation of Chattanooga. The river was forded
in three, and bridged in one place, cavalry crossing
at the fords, and Davis" division of infantry at the
pontoon bridge. The upper ford was opposite Shell
Mound, and at this point General Reynolds' crossed
Wilder's brigade of mounted infantry. This force,
with its usual spirit and dash, charged upon•and
captured a regiment of rebel cavalry, under the com
mend of a notorious ruffian, named Mayo. This man
bears the reputation throughout East Tennessee of
being the most cruel, heartless, and inhuman of
men. The number of murders which he is accused
of. committing are fabulous, and his cruelties to East
Tennessee 'Unionists have made his names terror.
Bela now safely in our hands, and will be retained
until an hour when he can be safely punished as hi s
many crimes &genre. ,Among others taken by
Wilder, is a Tennessee rebel Gingreasman, named
Cannon, who will be sent to Nashville to hold apes
sion with two or three others of the same ills now lq
the penitentiary at that p/asle,
LAYING Poldtditti.
The work of throwing a bridge over the rives , itt
Caperton's ferry was begun at daylight. The fifty.'
nine pontoon boats required for the duty had been
brought down during the night, sea at daylight were
in the stream, moored along the northern shore. At
a given signal the oars were manned and the boats
filled with armed men; and from the shore they ehot,
each oarsman pulling with his might and main, that
his boat might be first tb the other side. The eight
is described as having been a very grand one.
Beaching the other shore the men ftleyed as skir
mishers, clearing the fields and woods without re
sistance. In the meantime , the Menem...under the
direction of Lieut. Burroughs began hiving the
bridge „at .8 o'clock, and had _ it finishest by

difficult line of retreat, in case of disaster, a danger.
one one to us.
DIFFICULTIES ON THE MARCH-POSITION OF THY
ESIEI2I
The infantry find it difficult to make as mu c h
as ten miles per day on the mountains, and the
ascent of a mile and a half is the full labor of a
day. Only one pontoon bridge has as yet been built,
and over this it is difficult to move a division in two
days. The fords are only practicable for cavalry,
which passes and repasses at . They have found
less difficulty in penetrating into the mountains.
Gen. Crook, commanding a division of cavalry, re.
turned ttr day from an expedition to Lookout val
ley. He crossed the river on the morning of the
29th, at Shell Mound, and at once, with three regi
ments, marched rapidly to Trenton. Re made the
ascent and descent of Raccoon mountain with ease,
finding better roads than he. anticipated. There
were no troops In the town, though they were re
ported in the Lookout mountains beyond. He went
down the valley to within nine miles of Chat
tanooga, gathering a few deserters and learning
some little news in regard to the enemy. The rebels
are reported by the citizens to be in and around
Chattanooga fifty thousand strong, busily engaged
in fortifying the position. They occupy the summit
of Lookout range.
FORTIPTENG THE 2fOI7.ISTAXIN PASEINS.
This latter move on their part would naturally
follow our crossing the river ; and as we were com
pelled to cross and move leisurely, they had and
will have ample time to fortify the mountain passes
against our flank march. The result has not been
at all uncooked for, and it is one as unavoidable as
it is to be regretted. Lookout range is the main de
fence of Chattanooga, and in the event of its aban
donment the ridge is the first point to defend Rome
and Atlanta. -
Againat this army alone such a defence might be
successfully made ; but.. against the two armies of
Burnsioe and Boreorans, moving upon concentric
lines, concentrating at the rear of this position, it
becomes untenable. While making a stand against
the one column the rebels would be flanked by the
other. With Burnside on their right, In the great
valley of the Tennessee and Coostanaula, and Rose
crane on their left, on the mountains, their pre
sent line becomes untenable ; and with the two oppo
sing armies holdin the same positions and
moving upon lines g
which flank relative
them right and left,
they will be pushed back until their increasing
strength shall warn our generals to combine. Either
Burnside or Rosecrans is now equal to Bragg or
Johnston, as the calm may be, and it will be long
before the rebels can concentrate rush a force as
willjustify them in risking an engagement. I think
it may safely be said that East Tennessee will be
relieved without a desperate or even serious en
gagement ; but there in little doubt that an effort
will be made to cover Atlanta and perhaps Rome.
In the meantime expect nothing immediately.
I)elays of .8 serious character must yet ensue. One
of - the chief embarrassments of the campaign is
likely to be felt in the task of opening the Decatur
and Nashville, Memphis, and Charleston and Nash
ville and Northwestern railroads for the subsistent."

CHARLESTON.
Why the Shelling of the City was Dis
. continued.
IFrom the Boston Journal.]
A gentleman of much intelligence, recently from
Morris Inland; where he had unusual facilities for
observation and gathering information, has commu
nicated to us a variety of interesting facts connected
with the siege of Charleston, which throw much
light on the state of attains there. He informing that •
the tenon why General Gilmore did not continue
his bombardment of Charleston with the "Greek
fire" shells, was because the shells sent were ignited
on the percussion principle, and, being discharged
from a gun elevated at an angle of thirty-eight de
grees, took their flight at the same angle, with a
longitudinal rotary motion, base downward, and
therefore struck base downward, instead of upon the
percussion end, and did not explode.. Only two are
known to have exploded—one which fell into a
warehouse, and another which fell in the street.
This peculiar motion and descent of the shell *as a
new discovery in artillery practice, then for the first
time made, and the Ordnance Department was not
furnished with a remedy for the unlooked-for con
tingency. To this fact alone Charleston owes the
delay of the hour of its doom.
Time-uses, which will set matters all right, were
at ones sent for, and have doubtless arrived at Mor
ris Island before this, and very likely Charleston is
at this moment experiencing the dreadful effects of
a shower of "Greek fire" shells, fifteen hundred
of which have been ordered for the bombardment of
that nest of treason. The gun from which the shells
were Bret fired was a 200-pounder Parrott, which
can throw a shell no less than seven miles when
aimed at an angle of forty-five degrees. The tint
shells went over Charleston, the gun being aimed at
too sharp en angle. Our reader' will be pleased to
learn that Gen: Gilmore has no less then thirty
Parrott guns mounted that will throw shells plump
into Charleston. Also that the use of Greek-tire
shells to bombard that rebel stronghold was person
ally ordered by President Lincoln. The Greek fire
burns for twenty minutes. It will burn on water as
well as on land, and each shell covers a surface of
one hundred square feet with flame. The shell bursts
into shout one hundred and twenty pieces, or ten
times as many as the ordinary thelL Of course the
elibet of these shells will be to set Charleston in
flamer, which nothing can subdue.
In addition to the Greek-fire shells, a large quan
tity of improved shrapnel ahells; made by .the in
ventor of the Greek,fire shell, and containing from
five hundred to one thousand bullets easy,
into the iettelifouecitymiuirer not very pleas
log to the enemy. These shells are fired-with - time
fuses, and are very destructive of life. The cele
brated 300-pound Parrott gun which Gen. Gilmore
has weighs 27 000 , pounds. It .took two thousand
men nine nights to get the monster into position,
the drag teams breakbarn seven nights in suc
cession, the enemy sh the party au the while,
and men being killed nig tip. Nothing was done
with it by day, the gun being covered with bushes
to conceal it from the enemy's fire. The diameter of
the bore is ten Inches, the charge of powder twenty
five pounds, and the shell that goes out of it in as
high as a floor barrel, weighs 300 pounds, and con
tain. 17 pounds of mortar powder. The execution
of one of these shells on Sumpter is considered equal
to three 200-pound shells. But two of these im
mense rifled guns have been made, although twenty
more have been ordered for the army. None have
been ordered for the navy.
. Gen. Gilmore at first bad only one, but another
has just been sent to him. The 300-pounder when
it exploded was in charge of an infantry captain,
who lied never fired a cannon before in his life. He
was cautioned that some accident would happen if
he was not very careful. On the twenty-fifth round,
the shell, containing 17 pounds of powder, was
filled, the percussion fuse was screwed half way
down, and could not be got any further, when the
Captain said, "Let it go at that." The consequence
was that when discharged the fire communicated
down by the thread to the shell, causing the latter
to explode before it left the gun, and breaking off
20 inches of the muzzle. The gun was repaired and
got ready for use again in two days. It burst on
Friday at 12 o'clock, and was firing again on Sun
day as well as ever. These guns have been fired
with 40 pounds of powder, end sent a ball through
nine inches of wrought-iron plates and two feet of
oaktimber by which the iron was backed. It has
also sent a ball through 26 feet of earth. The larger
a gun having a rifle bore is made, the steadier and
truer the ball or shell is sent—indeed, the accuracy
of a rifle is attained.
Mr. .11. P. Parrott, the inventor of these guns,
commenced making them in 1856, at his own ex
pense, continuing his experiments without aid from
the Government till the rebellion broke out. He
then began to make 10-pounders, and has now ad
vanced from that small beginning to 300 , pounders,
and if successful will try a 2,oMpountier. Over
2,500 of there guns have been made by Mr. Parrott,
who furnishes them at a less cost than the Govern
ment can make them at its own foundries; indeed,
supplying them at a trifle above cost, depending
upon shells which he furniahes to the Government
for his profits. Another fact which is very credita
ble to him is, that when the price of iron and of
labor advanced he did not rain his prices, although
all the other' foundries in the country did. About
thirty-three of these guns, ranging from three hun
dred to ten pound calibre, are turned out weekly at
Mr. Parrott'e establishment, the West Point Foun
dry, at Cold Springs , New York.
The demand for rifle cannon is now so great that
the foundries of this country are unable to supply
them, and extensive orders are sent to Europe. The
State of Massachusetts alone has ordered seventy
from abroad.
• A NORDEN BEFORE CHARLESTON.
A correspondent of the Lowell News, who .has
lately escaped from Savannah, tells the following
story
After the assault on Fort Wagner, where Colonel
Shaw was killed, a rebel soldier was showing his
boots in Savannah, and bragging how he got them.
He said he attempted to take them off a Yankee
soldier on that fatal field, who,
though wounded,
remonstrated, saying there were dead ones enough
from whom he might take a pair. Then, with a
fiendish exultation, he went on to say how he
thought he wouldn't rob the wounded, so, putting
his bayonet through the man's heart, he took the
boots and came away. If devils ever dance, that
fellow should be counted in, boots and all.

TRAITORS IN JACKSON COITIPTT, ALABAMA
[From the Huntsville Confederate.]
This will be a startling announcement to persons
who have known Jackson county only as the abode
of a true and loyal people—of men of active patriot
ism, who, from the first tap of the drum in this re
volution to the present time, have rushed eagerly to
arms in defence of their country's rights, liberty,
and independence; their homes, altars, from dese
cration ; their families from wrong and outrage ;
their property from pillage—of women and children
whose free spirit could not be cowered or subdued
by threatened or actual violence, Nevertheless, it
is true that there is a company of traitors in this
patriotic county. It consists of about eighty-two
men under a man named Latham, who was a lieu
tenant in a company belonging to the 50th
_Alabama
Regiment, Colonel Ooltart, and desdied shortly
after the battle of Murfreesboro, went home, and or
ganized the company of which he is now

We understand that several odMpanies of Jackson

Correspondence Between President 14.
coin and Fernando Wood.
ME. WOOD TO DIVESIDERT LineOlas.
New Tone, 'Dee. 8,1882 ,
Hon. Abraham Lincoln, President of the United Masa;
DEAR Sin: On the 26th of November last I was
advised by an authority which I deemed likely is
be well . informed as well as reliable and truthful,
that the Southern States would send representatives
to the next Oongress, provided that a full and gene,
ral amnesty should permit them to do so. No gas_
rantees or terms were -asked for other than the am.
nesty referred to. Deeming this information or
great value, if well founded, I communicated it in
substance to the Don. George Opdyke, the mayor of
this city, whom I knew to hold confidential rela
tions to members of your Administration, and pro
posing through him, that if the Government would
permit the clones ndence, under its own inspection,
I - would mi. e to procure something definite
, and- positive , from persons .connected with the Re
called Coefederate authorities. Mr. Opdyke -stated
In reply that several Senators from New England
States were then in this city on their way to Wash
ington, to whom he would at once communicate the
proposition, and advise me of the answer. Knowing
that these gentlemen were your friends, and sup
posing that they would Immediately confer with yon
on their arrival at the capital, and supposing that I
should be speedily informed of the result] I have de
layed until now making a communinatton direct is
you.
I now learn, however, from Mr. Opdyke this day,
that he failed to see these Senator' when in New
York, and that he had not made the proposition; and
that therefore you are not in possession of it lii,
coming from myself.
As an humble but loyal citizen, deeply impnlarg'
with the great necessity of restoring the Union Or
these States, I ask your immediate attention to this;
subject. The magnitude of the interests at stake
warrants some executive action predicated noontide
information, if it be only to ascertain if it be ground- • .
ed upon even probable foundation. lilt shall prove • :
groundless no harm shall have, been done, provided ..
the inquiry be made, as it can' be, without comm. •
wising the Government; Or injury to the, cause he •
which it is now engaged If, however, it shaa •
prove well founded,.there is no estimate too high to
place upon its national value.
Now, therefore, Mr. President, I tmggest that gen- • '
tlernen whose former political and social relations . •
with the leaders- of the Southern revolt may be .•
allowed to hold unofficial correspondence with them
on this subject—the correspondence to be submitted,
to you. It may be thus ascertained what, if any, •
credence may be given to these statements, and also
whether a peaceful solution of the present struggle •
may not be attainable. I am sure nothing that 1..
can say can add,to your own well-known desire to
produce this result. Your exalted position, the em-
barrammenta and responsibilities which surround •
you upon all codes, the bleeding condition of the:
country, becoming exhausted not only in the im—
poverishment of its best life blood of industrial pro
dnction, but in the deterioration and consequent de
struction of our political institutions--all call upon
you, as our chief ruler, to take one step upon the
road of peaceful effort, by-which to ascertain whether
the time has not arrived when other methods than
brute fighting may not accomplish what military force
has failed to do. In the origin of this struggle, yon
foresaw that such atime would come. Your inaugural
address, delivered near two years ago, pointed out
with prophetic vis i on the certain results of the im
pending conflict of arms. Your language then was,
"Suppose you go to war, you cannot fight always, snit
when, after much loss on both sides, and no gain on
either, you cease fighting, the Identical qualions as
to terms of intercourse are again upon you I" Yee
raw that after a bloody and terrible struggle IS fin
still email voice of reason" would intervene MSC
settle the controversy You know that since the
establishment of Christian civilization negotiatioa
and compromise have sooner or later determinet -
every military contest. It cannot be otherwise here.'
lime not the time arrived when, to quote your owe
language, we should " cease fighting," at least long'
enough to ascertain whether " the identical goes.
time" about which we began the fight may not
amicably and honorably adjusted, and the "terms
of intercourse" be once more peaceably establideldr.
It is to this end that I now address you—with comb .
dence in your patriotism, and with no desire to im. .
terfere with your legitimate constitutional preroge. •
Wee. I am, with high respect. youm very truly,
FERNA.O WOOD.
rit&SIDENT LINCOLN TO MR. WOOD.
EX2Otrrivit Melvetorr, Wsourrroxoe,
December 12, 1882.
Hon. Fernando Wood:
fdr Dssu Sra : Your letter of the Bth, with the
accompanying note of same date, was received yes
terday.
The moat important paragraph in the letter, as I
consider, is in these words : "On the 25th Novem
ber last I was advised by an authority which
deemed likely to be well informed as well as reliable
and truthful, that the Southern States would send
sita generaamnesty 73; ord. pe t them to do
so. No guarantees of terms were asked for other
than the amnesty referred to."
I strongly !suspect your information will prove to
be groundless; nevertheless; I thank you for com
municating it to me. Understanding the phrase ui
the paragraph above quoted—" the Southern States
would send representative, to the next Congreu "
to be substantially the same as that "the people of
the Southern States would cease resistance, and
would reinaueurate, submit to and maintain the '
national authority within the limits of such States, .
tinder . the Constitution of the United States." I
say that in such ease the wat would cease on the
part of the United States ; and that if within a rea
sonable time "a full and general amnesty" were'
necessary to such end, it would not be withheld.
Ido not think it would be proper now to commu
nicate this, formally or informally, to the people of
the Southern States. My beliefis that they already
know It ; and when they choose, if ever, they can
communicate with me unequivocally. Nor do I
think it proper now to suspend military operations
to try any experiment of negotiation.
I should nevertheless receive, with great plea
sure, the exact information you now have, and also
imch others. youmay in any way obtain. Such in
formation might be more valuable before the let of ,
January than afterward.
While there is nothing in this letter which I shall
dread to see in history, it is, perhaps, better for the
present that its existence should not become public.
I therefore have to request that you will regard it
as confidential. .Your obedient servant.
A. LINCOLN.

MR. WOOD TO PRESIDENT LINCOLN.
NEW Tows, Dec. 17, NM.
Vie Excellency Abraham Lincoln:
MY Dean Sim: Your letter of the 12th instant was
handed to me on the afternoon of the 16th instant,
by Mr. Wakeman, the postmaster of this city.
Pardon me, Mr. President, when I say that your
reply has filled me with profound regret. It declines
what I bad conceived to be an innocent effort to
ascertain the foundation for information in my pos
session of a desire in the South to return to the
Union. It thus appears to be an indication on your
part to continues policy which, In my judgment, is
not only unwise, but, in the opinion of many, is in
conflict with the constitutional authority vested in
the Federal Government.
I think, however, that my proposition is in keep
ing with your own expressed conditions upon which
the war shall cease. You say that "when the peo
ple of the Southern States would cease resistance,
and would reinaugnrate, submit to, and maintain
the national authority, within the limits of such
States, under the Constitution of the United States,
that in such case the war would cease on the part of
the United States."
Admitting this position as correct, you wilizsee — -
that as a condition precedent to such submission,
the opportunity to do so must be afforded. It clan.
not be expected thatthe Southern people will cease:
resistance so long as we proclaim our intention to
destroy their local institution°, their property and
their lives, and accompany the declaration with cor
responding legislative, executive, social, and politi
cal action. They cannot cease resistance and rein
augurate, submit to and maintain the Federal au
thority, if we will not let them alone long enough to
do so. If they really desire acquiescence, and are
willing to send delegates to the next Clonereast, as I
am advised, how can they do so without this oppor
tunity, and without some intimations or guarantees
as to the reception of their representatives at Wash
ington I. The act of sending representatives to Con
gress Is within itself a full compliance with your
own conditions. If thus represented by their own
selected agents, chosen under the forms andi in '
pursuance of their own local State laws governing
such elections, theywill compose an integral portion
of the Government, and thus give the assurance of
an acquiescence and submission" of the very high.
eat and most satisfactory character.
My respectful suggestion was that yon should put
It in their power to take this course. It would re
quire a simple proclamation of general amnesty, to
be quallfled, if you'uiease, by such conditions as to
render it void in case of nomoomplianoe within a
limited period. You have established a precedent
for this mode ofspeaking to those people. Your
Emancipation Proclamation told of punishment.
Let another be. isaued, speaking the language of
mercy and breathing the spirit of conciliation.
The painful events wbtclt have occurred since my
communication of the Sth inst. but embolden me to
renew its suggestions. I hope you will now no
longer refuse to "suspend military operations to try
an experiment of negotiation." I feel that military ,
operations so bloody and exhausting as ours mutt
sooner or later be suspended. The day of suspen
sion must come. The only question is, whether it
shall be before the whole American people, North
and South, shall be involved in general ruin, or
whether It shall be whilst there is remaining suffi
cient of the recuperative element of life by which to
restore our once happy, prosperous, and peaceful
American Union.
In compliance with your request that your letter
shall not for thepeesent become public), I shall with
hold its publication at this- time.
With high. regard. yours, &cc.
