FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1.863.,
The President's Letter to the Spring
• Committee.
To Me Editor of The Press:
Sin: I have no opinion to express in regard to the
propriety of high official ffuictionaries writing let;
tern to either political friends or adversaries in ex
planation, or in support of the policy or measures
which they may have deemed it expedient to adopt.
This must be more or less 'dependent upon the exi
gency of the occasion, 86 appealing to the judgment
of the writers. One thing, however, is certain, that
with rare exceptions, communications of the charac
ter referred to are attended with but little public
benefit. They are read by every partisan andipoliti.
clan through his own spectacles ; in other words,
through the influence of his own preconceived no•
tions or prejudices, and perverted or applied to their
support. The better mode, perhaps, would be to al.
low great public measures to speak for themselves,
inasmuch as the measures adopted, though unex
ceptional in themselves, may sometimes be attempt
ed to be sustained, by insufficient or doubtful rea
ions, thus leaving room for the captious criticism of
party spirit, through assaults upon the language or
dress of the argument, to impair its body or sub
stance. In other words, while the action or decision
may be perfectly right, the reasoning may be wrong.
These general remarks are not intended to be_
specially applied to the letter under consideration,
but to the subject of letter-writing upon great na
tional -
questions by Presidents' or members - of their
cabinets. Certainly it is not required, even in our
Republic, where every man considers himself a
" chartered monarch," that the heads of the Govern.'
ment should be held liable, without any regard to
expediency, to justify themselves or their policy to
every refractory subordinate that may presume to
impeach or to arraign their motives, the best test
of which-time and history will supply.
Every man has his own style, more or less classi
cal, according to his genius, his education, or his op
portunities ; but this may at least be said, that still
"the man's the man, for all that." Cimisics and
politics are not synonymous terms. The best writers
have not been the best Presidents, nor is it entirely
consistent with the doctrine of democracy, that the
learned and literary and scientific alone should'-ex
elusively fill the high executive posts of the nation.
- What the country requires is an intelligent, patrio
tic, and honest and firm man ; and such a man is
Abraham Lincoln.
The letter referred to is an answer to as invitation
to a meeting at Springfield of "unconditional Union
men," and commences by tendering the President's
gratitude, on behalf of the nation, "to those men
,whom no partisan malice nor partisan hope can
make false to the
_country." lie then proceeds to
consider the objections of those who are dissatisfied
-with his administration, and who ikesire peace, and
boldly meets their objection by the inquiry r'" How
is peace to be obtained'?" He truly suggests that
there are but three conceivable ways :
First. To suppress rebellion by force of arms.
Second. To give up the Union.
Third. Some imaginary and indefinite compromise
between the belligerents.
Now, allow us honestly to ask, Is there any other
other mode of encountering the present lamentable
difflculty3 Assuredly there is NON.%
The suppression of the rebellion by force of arms
is wisely deemed the most available, the most secure,
and the most permanent, and it is therefore adopted
by the Executive. Indeed, it is not only the most
available, but .it may be said to be the may -mode
consistent with the integrity, safety, and glory of
the Republic. To give up the Udion is to destroy
the country, and to convert thirty. five States, now
reciprocally imparting power and reflecting light,
into Romany petty, separate Germanic principalities,
preying upon each other, and without any tie - or
principle to bind them together. The suggestion
would be ae absurd as it is treaionable.
If, ass - the President observes,!the political empirics
are opposed to force, and also to dissolution, where
does] their doctrine land us?'UpOn compromise—
.aud only compromise. Well, what means, do they
propose to accomplish
. their object There is the
rub—there the touchstone that tries whether they
are current coin or not. With whom are we to ne
gotiate? Are we to seek terms with traitors, with
their daggers at our throats? Are we to appeal to
a self•oonstituted autocracy, engaged in open rebel
lion, with-Jeff Davie at its head! Are we to ground
our SIMS before General Lee, and ingloriously sue
for peace 7
Or, will they say we should appeal to the people?
What people? To those unhappy and deluded men,
who have been seduced or driven from their' alle
giance by bold, heartless, and designing individuals,
crafty and ambitious views flow absurd-and mon
strous the proposal No such effarrat Coteprd
miss, embracing. the maintenance of the. Union, is
possible ;" and every reasonable man - will agree
fully with theeentiments of the President: a That
the strength of the rebellion is its army ;'that army
dominates all the country and all the people within._
its range ; any offer of terms made - by - iny matt or
men within its range, in opposition to that army, is
simply nothing for the present, because such man or
men•have no power whatever to enforce the compro
mise, on their side,,if one were made with them.
* *. In an attempt at such a compromise we
would tease time,'whiah, the enemy would improve
to our disadvantage."
And we must further agree in the doctrine, that a
compromise, in order to be effective, must be - made
eitner with those who control the army, or with the
people, first liberated from the dominion of that
army.
The views expressed by the President in relation
to the negro question are not less correct and can
did. While he frankly says that he is in favor of
universal Freedom,. he denies, and truly denies,-hav
ing proposed or adopted any measure on that sub
ject, not consistent with the views of any man who
is loyal to the Union—the proposed compensated organ.
cipation. In answer to this, these Copperheads ob
ject to the taxation incident to such a scheme, •to
which the President justly replies, "You are not
required tp be taxed except in such a way as to pro
tect you from grecrisr taxation, in order to save the
Union by other means. ,, -
Now, I appeal to any patriotic and intelligent
man to say•whethqr this is not a plain and manly
exposition of. the true policy of the Government;
and whetherthere Is any other plan that could be
suggested, tending more directly and effectually, o
the termination of this fratricidal war, and the per
manency of the Union. I admit that the language
in which these sentiments are conveyed might have
been more conventional, and, if you' choose, more
highly polished; but let it be remembered that the
polish of a diamond, while it adds to its brilliancy,
at the same time diminishes its weight. D. P. B.
.T.un TnroXPEE.—This is the title of an allegori
cal composition, lithographed in tints and colors,
published by M. H. Traubel, in this city, and on
sale at Kromer's, 403 Chestnut street. It shows the
downfall of. King Cotton and Slavery, with. their
Vile myrmidons, and the triumph of Liberty and.
Patriotism, America, wearing the cap, of Liberty,
and Waving the immortal " Stars and Stripes," is.
surrounded by Washington, Franklin, Jefferson,
and other worthies of the land's early times, and
supported by Justice, Humanity, Christian faith, a,
heavenly choir, directing the eagle, who with the
power of lightning enflames the usurped throne to ,
consume crown'and ermine. Terrified, the faction of
Moloch disperses, who alone and despairing tries.
yet to defend his life with paralyzed arms, retain,.
_fug the fettered slave with a spasmodic grasp. This,
is a bold allegory, well designed, for it .tells its.own,
story.
Tn FINANCES.—Tbe condition of the. national
finances wars never better since the war began, than
at the present moment. Mr. Chase does not allow
himself much margin in the way of surplus money,
but under his system he needs but little, If at the
end of any week he discovers that his income is
little short he has the remedy at hand. The issue
of half a million of debt certificates per day will
make up the deficiency, and these certificates are
easily, absorbed at the money centres.
.11Ir. Chase could resume specie paymentato.mor
row, if he desired. Ilia gold income from. duties is
now not much leas than one hundred millions of dol
lars per annum. It takes but tpirty.•five millions
of this to pay the interest otthe public debt, leaving
over sixty millions of dollars• in the Secretary's
hands. This would be sufficient to justify a resump
tion of specie payments. It is not expected, how
ever, that anything of the kind will occur, for va
rious and obvious reasons. - .
Under the act of the late Congress, Pdr. Obese has
power to issue live hundred millions of live-twenty
bonds. More than two,hundred and fifty millions
have been taken by the public, and it is believed by
those who have the matter in charge that the de
mand from the public will certainly exhaust the en
tire amount of bonds which the Secretary is autho
rized to issue,—Cor. Bost. - -
PARDOICED.--Capt.Bernard J. McMahon, 71st
Pennsylvania Volunteers, tried by court-martial - for
shooting Capt. Andrew. McManus, gist Pennsylva
nia Volunteers, and found guilty of murder,-was
sentenced to be shot. Forwarded to the President
for Ms action, the case is thue diaposed of in General
Order No. sii
In consideration of all the circumstances of the
case, the gallant conduct of the accused, while a pri
soner, in the recent battles at Gettysburg, and upon
the recommendation to Executive clemency by-the-
Major General commanding the Army of the Poto
mac, the President is pleased to pardon Capt. Mc-
Mahon of the punishment and sentence awarded
him by the court. Capt. McMahon will be released
from arrest and returned to duty.

LION AT LARGE.—home of the Madrid journals
publish the following strange amount: "The town
of Parnpeluna was a few days back the scene of a
fearful incident. A lion belonging to a travelling
menagerie escaped !row its cage and rushed through
the streets, attacking every one that it met. Three
persons were killed by theterrible animal, and about
a dozen received injuries. The number of victims
would have been more considerable if the lion had
not perceived a butehees shop into which he sprung,
enticed by the meat, displayed at the' door. The
butcher bad the presence of mind to close his shop,
and the owner of the lion being informed of the' de.
tettion of - the animal fetched one of his sages, and
applied.the 'opening of it to the shop doorMThe llOn
being satiated rushed out as soon as the door was
• opened, and was caught In the cage as in a trap."

NXIITRALITT TO BE MAINTAINED AT ALL HAzAIMS.

freedom of the town of Dundee, on the occasion or

" We cannot close this_ address without congratu

f ict still existing between the Northern and Southern
Scatea of America. 'The constitutional principles
which have been the guide of your Lordship hither
to, ore the best assurance the nation can have as re

In Os reply, Earl Ruisell card
" As .gecretary for Foreign Affairs, it hasteen my

A CONFEDERATE • 'REPLY. TO. NCR. REWARD
(From the Liverpool Daily Post.)
The London Times of. September 10 bass a long let
ter, signed "A Confederate," in reply to. Mr. Sew.
ard's statement with reference to the progress of the
Federal cause. It is unnecessary .to say that the
Times has every desire to do fall justice to whatever
may be said on the Confederate side, but at length
it perceives that it is useless to deny the progress
which the Northerners have made. In commenting,
on the letter the Times says: •
"It will be hard to persuade an indifferent meets
-
tor that the North have not a firmer hold of Sicuth
ern territory than they have ever had before. The
effectiveness of an occupation is ta'be measured ,
quite as much by its position as its extent. The peep
session of places like Vicksburg and Port. Hudson,
and, of such, a river, as the. Mississippi, gives the
North a firmer foothold in Oonfederatesterritory
than the nominal occupation of thoueanda- of scree
in Arkansas, or of all the prairies of Texas.
" After all that can be said, we fear it cannot be
denied that the North have gained unguestionable
and serious advantages, and that the South, con
sidered at least as a belligerent Power, is in a criti
cal, dangerous condition. Its seaports are being
taken,' its armies are being' driven back; and its
means of communication with abroad more' and
more curtailed. However it may be accounted for,
the fact of gold being at 220 must mean ruinously
high prices, and ruinously-high prices must mean
more or less exhaustion. The consumption of men
may be nearly equal on both sides, but it must be
vastly greater in proportion in a population of
10,000,000 than in one of 20,000,000. Aber all, the
question is not who fights best, but who can fight
the longestatid the strongest."
Of course, in general terms, the Times still ex
presses the belief that the ultimate subjugation of
the South will not be, possible; but those re
gard facts dispassionately will consider that, apart
from the contingency of foreign interference, those
which the Times has admitted leave the Oordede
rates very scanty hopes.
[From the Phare de la Loire, Sept 8 ]
Nantes has, its maritime mysteries. There are
now building in our yards two steamers, the appear
ance of which excites the more curiosity as their
owners and future distination are completely un
known. The smallest gist cannot be built in secret
for regattas in yards which are accessible to every
eye, and a fortiori vessels of a large dimension can
not escape notice. The practised eye of our nauti
cal men readily perceives- that those of which we
speak are not intended for ordinary navigation.
Every one asks for what they ate intended, and as
no one can answer the question positively, the field
remains open to conjecture. The fineness of their
lines is extreme;.they are almost flat, narrow, and
with bows as sharp as the blade of a razor. Their
length ie 260 feet ;.they will each have engines of
400 horse power, and are pierced for 221uns. Their
guarantied speed will notbe lestrthan 14. knots an
hour. The plan was furnished - to the builder who
bad only to follow it The hull is in wood, buethere
is a quantity of iron used which will give them great
strength.
What excites considerable curiosity ietbe fad that
they are to be'delivered to their owners at sea,
twenty leagues off'Belle Isle. There-are two similar
Vessels building in the yard of ill. Armen, at Bor
deaux. The order was given by st, house, in this
place for one abroad, but no one knows for whom,

be intended for carrying freight, as the fineness of
the build makes- them lose -onathird of their ton

company which intend them for the. China packet
service ; while others think that the preparation
for armament is not consistent even with the con

built for war purposes. Themost generally, credited
version is that they may, when afloat, take their

'When all the changes-of garrison are: completed
the following - will-be, according. to 'titillation lately
published,, the distribution and strength of , the
French army.: Mith the exception of certain.troops
on foreign service, that army-is now on what is
called the peace foeting, and consists of 412,009-men
_and 80,000x-horses' There are two reserves, which
roftybc , --oallottArt.at a moment's notice, one of old
soldiers and anottier or - se‘md-ones_—the latter not
yet incorporated, but almost ready Whim
from drill. These additions would bring the army
up to between 600,000 and 7:o,ooo , men—a , very-re
spectable force, and quite ,sufficient; as st.Freach pa.
per lately observed, to meet all eventualities.
The 412,000. are thus distributed : in Mexico, two
divisions of infantry and a brigade of, cavalry, See.,
together nearly 34,000 , -men; in Cochin
,China, 1,600
men. The above are on the war footing. CM what
is !called , the footift .of • rassemblement is • the corps
of occupation at Rome, about 20,000 menin one di

cavalry. On the peace footing, divided into divi

sions ,of. infantry and • one of cavalry), the army.of
Lyons - (two divisions of infantry and one of caval

sisting of four 'regiments. There is also. at Paris
what is called areserve brigade, of .three battalions
and five squadreps, speciallyallotted to-the garrison
of the capital, and never leaves it. These two ar

40,000 men. The Imperial Guard -forme, a special

with the Spahis),forming a total of 301000 men.
The remainder of the French army is distributed
in six great eorps five in France and:one in Algeria.
There used to be generally 65,000 or 70,000 men in
Algeria, but just sowthere are not no many, several
regiments havingbeen sent thence.to Mexico.. The

French corps which remain there in garrison for a

The Germans have held many similar festivals
during the past year, including.these of Jean Paul
Richter, Settme, Fichte, and. the death' festivals of
Uhland,but not one sil sad, so.full of tears and me
mories inwoven with'eypress, as .;this for hint "of

the nation listened to the milled drams and wept ;
and the singers sung triumph songs, and the way
was besprinkled with leaves of evergreen and with
eprigi of laurel, and Korner's old friend, Dr. Forster,
carried the sword of the poet, which he always
called "his bride,. in his. hand, and he wore the
poet's tschako upon hhr head. He was chested in the'
uniform of the Lutzower cavalry, endives - , of course,
the object of general attention and interest.

• The processtou moved on through the cantle street
under arches, of oak and of evergreen, over the•
castle meadows, put the richlydecorated Mexan
diina palace, through the garlanded' Schweriner
gate, to the sound of mused musk. Slowly It moved'
to "God's Acre."
IS was nearly two o'clock as the advance of the
proeession reached the well-known home in Wob
belie, in which the dead Korner was brought, and
whence they carried him forth to hie poet grave. A
large mourning flag drooped from one of the upper
windows of this home over thestree below, under

portal of the Friedhof e which was garlanded ,with
oak and Ivy, myrtle and immortelle.
With uncovered heads and deeply-drooping ban"

to-the hallowed grave, beside* which stood. the can=

in person on this solemn ccreasion: "Tat," . said'
she, in her letter of August er; dated from the Bath
'of Alt-Aussee, "the consciousness - of standing be
side the resting-place of my beloved friend—the

richly deserved—to hear this so lovingly and apere

within me such a• storm of pain and of 'mournful
emotion that I really believe' it wouldbe more than
I should have strength to endure ; , forc truly, no
one can feel as I feel the , greatness of our loss:" ,
A second laurel crown was sent' by Marianne
Saungaus, ofiSerlin, probablythe oldest nowliving
youth friend of Theodore's; to whom. he addressed
several charming little songs, one - " of - which—that
written March 13, 1813;. on his leaving Vienna} is
particularly noticeable for-its valiant patrietiam; It
begins thus :
"l l!!!=gMlneCgltntggnil„

In Paige Rube nuchteret Eingebannt?"
From the general of the Prussian infantry, Ern:*
Von Pfuel, of Berlin, the oldest living friend of the-
Korner family, the committee received the following,
remembrance: Three crowns of immorlelle, for the
graves of the father, mother, and the aunt Porte .
,
and a crown of evergreen for Emma's grave. It will
be remembered that this devoted sister died of griefF
occasioned by the loss of her brother.. Mrs. Ilernans
wrote a touching- poem on the subject, which my
space will not permit me to copy here. It maybe
found, together with several excellent tranahltions:
from Korner, in every edition of her works.. A beau- -
Ulu] full-length portrait of Emma,_ painted by the .
distinguished lady artist, Doris Stock, is in the poe
session of General Pfuel. It is believed that asso ,
ciations of -the tenderest nature are connected with
this picture-in the heart of the brave old bachelor ,
general.
Theodore's old nurse, who lived in the Korner
family during the time of . .Schillere . visit'to its in--
mates, sent by Dr. Forster a - blessing, which - - she •
prayed him to speak for, her above the-holy graves
of her honored friends.
It is impossible to enumerate - ill the "'gifts of-
love" that were poured in from north, and south,
and eitati and west upon this memorable occasion,
not only from the precincts -•of the Fatherland, but
from far beyond its borders. Telegraphic greetings
were sent from every quarter, Min" of the most no
ticeable being that from the Baslern, in Switzerland,
assembled'at the hero grave of St. Jacobs, in com
memoration of the battle of Basle. -
A crown of oak and laurel was sent by Fran
Emilie. Von. Gleichen, the daughter of Schiller; in
memory and affectionate appreciation of the friend
ship Theodore Korner bore to her lather.
The ladies of Henan- sent a large and massive
crown of bronze ' in the midst of which were a lyre
and aword ;•. the Turners •of Berlin; an ivy garland
from the grave of Friesens.
Crowns also were received from the singers, Turn

LOAD BROUGHAM ON .Wkr.E WITH AMICHICA
[From the London Star. ]
More than fifty years ago, one of the moat illus
trious of England's orators thus spoke in contem
plation of such a calamity. Addressing !the people
of Liverpool, on the Bth of„October, 1812,!Henry
Brougham said "Is the trade with America of any
importance to this great and thickly-peopled .town*
[Cries of "yes, yes."] . Is the continuance of the
rupture with America likely to destroy that trade' '
[Loud cries: of "It is, it is."l Is there any-man,
who would deeply feel it it he heard that the run : -
ture was at length consummated into.open'wart t
Is there a man present who would not be somewhat
alarmed if he supposed that we should have an
other year without the American trade 1 Is there
any one of nerves so. hardy as calmly „to hear that
our Government have given up all negotiations--
abandoned all hopes of speedy peace with America I
Then I tell that man to brace up his nerves.. I bid
you• all he prepared to hear what touches you all
equally. We are by this day's intelligence at war with
America in good earnest ; our Government have-at
length issued letters of marque and reprisal against
the United States! [Universal cries of "God help
God help us !"] Aye, God' help us Godo of
his infinite compassion-,take pity on us! God help
and protect this poor town, and this whole trading
country I" It was in such burning words as these
that Henry Brougham depicted with vivid power the
consequences of war with America-in 1812. But:

• 22.—[Special to the Tribune],—The.advance of Gen.
Meade, for the past two days, has been. nearly,upon,
the same line as that of General Pope last year.
Gen. Buford, with his own diviaion of eavalry and
that of Gen. Kilpatrick% occupied Madison Court,
House last evening. Gen. Kilpatrick, in person,
led the advance, and charged and drove the enemy
through the. streets, capturing, nine pickets, and;
killing one. The ladies of the village ran affrighted ,
from their dwellings intothe woods, but, upon dis
covering that they were not to be butchered in cold
blood, returned and entertained the Yankees.
The village wee found to be deserted by nearly all
its male inhabitants. But a few gray-haired old men
could be found. The rich - old rebel, General Banks,
whose fins fat cattle fed the. command of Colonel
Chesnut last summer, was still at home, but not as
able to aupply our ,commissary departmentme be
fore. His blooded stock, of both cattle and horses,
were long-since eaten or hiddenby our own hungry
infantry, or dismounted cavalry. Three rebelmoldiers
found in jail were. released, and, at their own re.
queat,,sent to the rear as.prisoners of war.
The force General Kilpatrick had compelled to
fall hack precipitately to the south side-of, the Ra
pidan was feund.ter be the old brigade of General
Toombs, now. under the. command of Colonel W. H.

jewel was at last discovered in the possession of a

never heard any sentiment of disrespect for the instita

opposed to the principles of true democracy and desert - - -
in g of the severest condemnation.
The contrast between the condition of the people - in
the North and that of thesubiects of the-slave power in..
the South was also referredoto by the speaker; Not- .
withstanding that the Southern people were compelled
to submit to continued violations - of the right of free
speech and of or free press, their friends in the; North •
were pertinaciously clamoring against the suspension of
the writ of habeas comas- and other alleged- arbitrary
measureswhich had been rendered absolutely necemarY
on the part Orthe Government. The efforts of the-Presi

to Their duty in the coming election_ I was a Democrat,
in the party sense of that parasol lam a Democrat to
day,.in the patriotic understmding of that term. [Ap
plause.
I was a Democrat, when the Democratic party, as I
believed. was the symbol and the synonym of pro
gressive liberty. At th,t period, we had arrentire coun
try to govern. At that period, both the greattparties of
the day had, at one time or another yielded-todhe dicta
tion of the' slaveholder; the National amnyentions of
both parties were more orrless controllecObytthe slava
holder; but. so long - as - 3:remained in the. Democratic
party, while subscribinmo al, its tenets and standing
by all its candidates, I hilieved in theft:U.l9st freedom:
.No word that ever fell twain° CM stand in contradic
tion of that expression. Doubtless—nay, not doubtless,
but certainly —ldook issue with the Whig party with re
spect to many questions in which they were involved,
ann there are probaliiv many persons who remember
the vehemence and the bittermase with-which 1 asserted,
my opiniom.
But "when I went toW.ashi ngton,. and saw ffiavery lace
to face:. when 1 saw.that the Democratic party was con
trolled by the enemies of cura country isyvnen I sate-that •
these men were th sloes of.the workingmen of my State;
when I saw that they held in content*. the adopted citi
zen; when I saw that they regarded all of 118 as - Inferior •
beings; when !MIN that they used theitemocrearic party,
merely as a manizine by which they might control. the.
Democratic organization, and. administer the laws in
their own way, n.y eyes viere.openad, and I determined,
on the very firskopportunaty, that hwouid separate from',

no man who earned his- bread by the sweat of his face,
for whom they had-not infinite contempt. From-the first
it was so. and so it will coatinneto be - unless-you decide
to do your duty at the coming election. I remember a

the Democratic party, inheriting all its prejudices and
elected to a high position- in Congress: went tie Wash

was David C: Broderick. of California, .who was mur
