WASHINGTON,MOnday, Oct. 12,-,-The plan of the
enemy appears to be not to make en attack in front,
but to compel us to abandon Chattanooga by simply
hOhjing Us in our present position, with their army
in our flout, annoying us with their artillery, and
breaking our, lines of communication by cavalry
raids in our rear. The last part . .of this programme
„
is now being parried out, by the Wheeler Cavalry,
which managed to cross the Tennessee at Cotton
Port Ferry, neer Nashville.
After °roaring, the main body moved right on in
northerly direction. A part of the force fell in with
the train of the 14th Corps, near:Anderson, in the
Becivatchie Valley, stimpeCied off the teamsters,
and destroyed between 200 and 300 wagons, about
thirty of which were loaded with ammunition, and
the remainder with clothing and supplies.
The mules they could not run otr.they shot, to the
number of several hundred. As they were leaving
the scene ,of destruction, Col. -,—, commanding a
cavalry division, came up with apart of his mom
mend, consisting of the 24 Indiana, Ist Wisconsin,
and Ist East Tennessee Cavalry, attacked them at
once, and bad a running fight with them to Dunlap,
in which one hundred and twenty rebels were killed
and wounded, and sixty of our men, including nine
officers, - were killed and wounded. Our men used
their sabres alone:

The same order announces Major General Rey

With the assistance of reinforcements already
arrived .movenients will soon be made that it is
hoped will drive the enemy from' our front.
The army is still well supplied with everything
but clothing and blankets, the want M which in

QH.A.TTANOOGA--GEN. MUGS' . REPORT.
From the Mobile Register and Adverticer, October 4.]
"Quartermaster General Nelms arrived at R 080•
crane' headquarters on Saturday, examined his po
sition, and declares it cannot be taken short of a
regular siege, which Bragg does not seem to be at
tempting."—:- Yankee telegraph.
, Gen. Ridge, we take it, pronounces his opinion
as an engineer officer, for the Yankee papers lately
told us he had been turned out of the Quartermaster
Generalship: General Meigs is-one of the beat en
gineers left in the Yankee service. He is a man of
very large brains, of strict integrity, and high per
sonal character. But on the subject of the "Union"
be is a monomaniac. With all his brains, he has not
the common sense to see that while he is lending
his talents and strength to a base and bloody fac
tion to reduce. the South to its yoke, he is at the
same time fastening chains to his own limbs, and
those of his own fellow citizens in Pennsylvania.
He does not know that today, as 'a citizen of a free
State, not himself- a freeman. Mr. Seward may
"ring his bell," and General Meigs is hurried to
prison . , without accuser or accusation, or trial, and
there is no habeas corpus to get him out, for Mr.
Lincoln has abolished it until his further pleasure.
While he deludes himself with the idea that he is
fighting for the restoration of the "Union," his
masters at Washington know better, for they have
decreedthat the rebel States have forfeited their -
Union rights, and must be crushed into subjugated
proiinees. .
But this General Meigs has arrived at Honoraria'
headquarters, "has examined his position, and de
clares it cannot be taken short of a regular siege !"
Nowthat's a consoling and flattering'account to send
back to the North, of the condition of the grand
army which, lees than two weeks ago, was on its
triumphal march to take possession. of the Empire
State of Georgia and the adjoining Commonwealth
of Alabama. The grand army routed from Georgia
by "old granny Bragg," as Roseerans called him be
fore Chickamauga; has burrowed itself in the earth
at Chattanooga, and the best engineer in Lincoln's
service is able to telegraph him the cheering intelli
gence that-.it will hold it unless ousted by regular
siege. 'But if Roseerans sticks to Chattanooga mud,
bow is he going to subjugatel The Georgians
won't be subjugated at his orders, issued at such a

THE FIGHTING .ON SATURDAY AND
•
SUNDAY.
Desperate
. l3ravery of Kilpatrick's Cavalry
OUR HUNDRED CONFEDERATE PRI S ONERS TAKEN
_Lee's Plans Defeat-ea.
The following particulars are 'obtained -from pat:
ties from the front : '
On Saturday the rebel General Stuart crossed
Robertson's river and captured nearly the whole of
the.lo6th New York, who were doing picket duty,
but-the - 6th 6th Michigan Cavalry made a charge and
reciidured most of the prisoners.. Soon after. A.
P. Hill's corps pealed our right flank, and we fell
back to James City and held the rebels in check
with artillery.
On Sunday morning our whole reconnoitring
force commenced falling back towards Culpeper,
our rear being covered by artillery. General Bu
ford's Isaiah's , fell.baok, as it happened, faster than .
Kilpatrick, who brought up the rear, so that the
latter was out off by .Stuart getting in his front
and on his right and left flanks. A charge was or
dered, and General Cuater's brigade gallantly drove
the enemy into a thicket of woods, from which they
however recharged in larger number, and our ca
valry then made a grand charge in their front and
flanks, - cutting their way through and joined Bu
ford.
Oar; artillery WAS brought into play during the
day"irc covering our rear, and with terrible effect.
In one instance the rebels charged upon one battery
(111,A Artillery) ; when the cannonters mounted their
horses, repulaed the charge, and returned to their
guns, and , gave the retreating rebs canister, killing
and wounding many of them. - -
In this combat our cavalry performed the unpre
cedmated feet - of making successful charges simulta
neously in three directions. ,
General. Kilpatrick led the , charges with recklese
gallantry, cutting his way through several platoons
of infantry drawn up in the road, in the midst of a
fire from artillery on each flank.
On Saturday our loss was but, slight, but yester
day, in killed, wounded, and missing,, General Kil-
Patrick lost about 'onehuodred and fifty men. Capt.
Dodge, acting major 6th Michigan, was killed ; Capt.
Oliphant, of the same regiment, was wounded ;
Capt. Hastings, of the same regiment, is missing
and Supposed a prisoner; Capt. G. M. Dutcher, aid
to Gen. Kilpatrick, was slightly wounded; Major
Pauldi, of let Michigan, anti Lieutenant Colonel
Sawyer, of int Vermont, are also slightly wounded.
Yesterday-about 400 prisoners, mostly of General
Fitz Lee's division, were brought into headquarters.
At five o'clock yesterday , there was considerable
skirmishing going on between the opposing cavalry
and "artillery, but it was thought that the enemy
would fallhack during the night.
About two o'clock to-day a train came down from
Rappahannock Station . , bringing about 32 wounded,
mostly of , the sth -Michigan Cavalry.
The reports afloat that Meade was compelled to
destroy a large "amount of commissary stores, on
Saturday, to prevent them from filling into the
hands of the enemy, are untrue. Soldiers, when
about to leave .a camping ground, will invariably
make a bonfire of 'all the camp rubbish ; and, thus
it was that on Saturday night the camping-ground
of the army .to be vacated presented numerous
fires, giving the idea of a pretty extensive confla
gration ; but as already stated, very little of value
was deatroyed ; and fiftv bales of hay, will doubtless
cover the extent of our lime.
The idea held out by the sensation reports- afloat
in town, to the effect that Meade is retreating pre
cipitately to Washington under pressure from Lee
following with an immense, army; is absurdly errone
oue;as those knew Who are aware how deliberately
Meade is changing his front to guard against any
possible surprise from Lee, should he attempt a flank
movement. .Late reports from Richmond show that
the idea is entertained there that Meade's army has
. been depleted to the extent of four army corps, for
the reinforcement of Rolecrans ; and it may be that
Lee is manoeuvring to ascertain if our army is really
as weak as reported.
• If he'is acting upon, any supposition of the sort,
he may encounter a disagreeable surprise, and find
that the Army of the Potomac is quite as effective
as when it staggered him at Gettysburg.

force through Thoroughfare Gap, and..rumor has it
that the enemy has already appeared there,
but in
this case rumor must be considerably ahead of the
fact, and, in any event, Meade has the shortest line
of march. to Manassas, and can readily post himself
so as to confront Lee wherever he may make his
appearance, if, indeed, the latter is not already
taking the back track, tinning his plans defeated.
The following is the substance of information
brought here by correspondents of the Northern
press :
General Dleade , s army has fallen back to this side
of the Rappahannock, followed by Lee's army,
whiokiis in great force about half a mile from the
southern bank of that river.
The enemy made a feint of moving up the valley
on the southern bank of the Robertson river, and
our cavalry under Buford crossed at Germania Ford,
and took possession of the earthworks abandoned
by them. When our force was all acfoiss the enemy
came against Buford in great force, drove him across
the river, without time to destroy the crossing, and
pursued him to Rappahannock Station,
Kilpatrick, with a force of artillery and cavalry,
Which had made a reconnohisance near Madison
Court House, was out oft yesterday afternoon en
the iiiad tQ Guipeper_by portion of 'Ewell's corps,
which were formed across the only road by which
he could retreat in twelve- ranks, with two regi
ments On each flank. Kilpatrick was compelled to
charge directly into the cul de sac here made by the
enemy's formation. He led the charge in person,
telling his men they must do or die.
The cavalry cut their way through under a con
centrated fire such as has hardly been experienced
by our troops during-the war and probably his rear,
with his Artillery, retired through Culpeper. KW
patrick's loss in killed and wounded amounted to
one hundred - and fifty.
General" Meade is said to have displayed gOod
generalship in bringing his army back to the , line of
the Rappahrumock. When the enemy made his
feint of moving up the valley, Meade also made a
feint of following him in force to attack him in the
rear, massing his troops at Raccoon Ford for that

THE STATES IN REBELLION.
Supernatural Signs and Omens
From - the Richmond Examiner, Oct. 6.]
But, as to vindicate the poets and supernatural
late, the attention of the credulous has been called
of late to two very extraordinary and apparently
unaccountable occurrences. Mrs. Temperance Gar
ter, of the town of Marietta, Georgia, or elsewhere,
being to all intents defunct, was made ready for
burial, when suddenly ohe rose from the dead, and
inquired the latest news of the war. The reply wee r
that Bragg was still retreating, that the Uourt of
Inquiry in the - Vicksburg disaater had been dis
missed, and that Pemberton was to be reatored to
his command ; whereupon Mrs. Temperance Carter
again, and without reluctance, died, permanently it
la supposed, Since nertidings of her second resurrec
tion have been received. ,)-o consoling interpreta
tion wind be given to Mrs. Temperance Carter's
singular behavior, and a-still more marvellous, but
lees recondite, event was anxiously awaited by the
aged females of both sexes throughout the country.
Bence the great Greentnier wonder, which'is thus
related': •'
'During the afternoon of September b Mr. Noses
Dwyer,, an honest, responsible, and unimpeachable
farmer, Ma. Percy, "who seemeto have every clear
head," two other ladies, "a youth almost grown, and
a servant girl, all saw on the side - of a hill or moun
tain, ten miles west of Lewisburg, on which the sun
was shining with full' power, "something" which
they were not able to describe with "clearness and
aceuraCy," albeit Mrs. Percy's head was probably
as clear then as it ever was. They declare; never
thelessf that this " something " was manes or
bodies of vapor, mist, or something - else,'of 'a whi
tistegreen color, rive .or six feet high; and! two or
three feet wide, which floated above the tree tops in
a perpendicular position, moving on in a line, with
the regularity and precision, then passing
through the tree tops, without having the line broken
or disturbed, and then passing off In the distance. If
this whitish-green vapor, or mist, or something else,
had done nothing more, the exhibition might have
been regarded as a common freak of.vapor on a
mountainside ; but "then came a countless multi
tude of men, dressed in white, marching in column
On the ground, through-an'open field, up the moun
tain slope, at a rapid pace, quicker than double
quick time ;" the men seen "not only as a whole,
but the individual parte—heads, arms, legs, and
feet:" Occasidnally one would lag behind, and could
be distinctly seen to quicken his pace to regain his
position in the line. ..They were passing for an hour
or more;' numbered, it is thought, thousands upon
thousands; passed over a field several= hundred
yards in length, the entire area of which they covered
in passing; "their general appearance was white,
and they were without arms or knapsacks."
This is the entire strange story, which it 'must be
conic seed beats _Mrs. Temperance Carter ' the dying
prophets, the engraved eggs, and the intermitting
springs, all hollow. The theory of the refraction of
light, which accounts so happily for the wonderful
phenomena of the mirage and the Pate Morgina,
might also explain the singular spectacle in Green-
brier, if the people of the Confederacy were not pre
disposed to superstition and encouraged therein by
frequent calls of their attention to religious observ
ances rather than to the just appointment of them,
and the light application of measures to the accom
rdisbing of ends, in which only human agencies are
involved_or need to be invoked. Many pretend
solutions of the Greenbrier riddle have been fur
nished by Southern visionaries, the lateat of whom
"hopes" that the northward movement of the
whitish-green spectres without arms, prognoaticates
the speedy return of the vandals, deprived of their
means of destruction to their own homes. It is
fortun ate fox the propounds...sr. this sage interpret-a
-_
ion, that the vapory, or misty, or something else
bodies in Greenbrier, were without weapons, for
George Cruikahanks, the comic artist of London, has
justpublished a book to prove that, since the days of
Pliny the Younger, nobody has pretended that
armor, implements of warfare, shovels and tongs, or
any formation of iron or brass, has a soul, and con
sequently that the ghosts of such things cciuld'not be.
As much might - be:declared of the ready:made
clothing furnished the Yankee army, which, far
from having a spirit, has scarcely any body; if we
may trust the newspaper diatribe against '" shoddy"
and " shoddy - contractors." It will 'be prudent,
therefore, to maintain, in spite of the veracious Mr.
Moses Dwyer, the 'clear-headed Mrs. Petty - , - and the
"youth, almost grown," that the greenish-white
visions witnessed by them appertain More to their
excited optics than - to the realm - of 'departed spirits,
and that, as a general thing; it would 'be' eater for
the country to trust to good 'generale; plenty'of gun
powder, and strong - armies, than to greenish-white
ghostagoing up the . side - of 'the hill in Greenbrier.
But -the question after . all; rests with ' Mrs. Tem
perance Carter, who *may emerge 'any day frOm the
tomb ; and be as anxious toimpart informatien from
the other world ar she was' some time'ago' to take
it from this. - •

withstanding our prejudice against substitutes, we
had prepared in the usual way, and found it as good

coffee should not be a most wholesome drink, as it
certainly is a most pleasant one to our palate. It

isantn, - TEETIMONY TO THE "GOOD TREATMENT OF
[From the Richmond Weekly Dispatch. Oct. 2.]
We have conversed with two prisoners by the last
flag-of-truce boat, one of them—Alexander Wiel, of
the 2d-Louisiana—was from David's Island, New
York, and the other—Thomas J. Grant, of the lath
Alabama—from Harrisburg and Baltimore. David's
Island is a place of about ninety acres, eighteen
miles from New York, and the wounded prisoner is
fortunate who gets there. Some of our wounded
were carried there from Gettysburg. -Upon - their
arrival all of their clothes and blankets were burnt,
and new and comfortable clothing furnished them,
Mr. Wiel says the clothing was of the most com
fortable character, though the coats,. which are
United States regular coats, have the tails all cut
off before they are given to the prisoners. The
men put them on and thus, Scoot ding -to the . jokers
among them, become members of the "bob-tail bat
talion." The food is excellent, and many delicacies
are provided by the kindness of some ladies from New
York, who have established three ,kitchens, inde
pendent or the hospital cooking apparatus. These
hales are very kind to the sick, and furnish them
almost any sort of food They ask for. The 20th In
diana Regiment was recently on guard there, and
proved the members to be an unmitigated set of
brutes. They were succeeded by the Ist Massachu
setts, who were entirely different, and very kind in
their treatment Of the men whom they were guard
ing. When our wounded officers were sent from
there to. Johnson's Island they were each given a
flve.pollar " greenback," The quartermaster of the
post Is NIL John H. Bosher, formerly of Richmond.
Another place where the Confederate wounded are
well treated is at Harrisburg, Pa: Our informant,
Mr. Grant, who was wounded at Gettysburg, says
the treatment there was most humane, and that the
ladles did everything intheir power forAhewountled.
The accounts of - these two gentlemen are cheerful

Delaware as day is from night.

sent to reinforce Roemana, and this etory is re
peated ,in the last despatches from Gordonsville,
with the qualification that " our scouts say only one
corps has left, and. that there is no indication that
the enemy intends to fall back."
What credence the authorities attach to thee
statements we know not, nor have we a hint o
what action would be taken in case the depletion o
Meade's army proved true. The latest Yankee pa
pars tell us, what we were ignorant of before, that
Lee is for tifying his already strong position with
might and main ;'pretty good proof that he does not
intend to suffer at the hands of Yankeenewsmakers,
or be deceives] by his own scouts. Poasibly he in
tones now to teat what faith the Yankees have in
their own rumors about reinforcements being sent
to Bragg, end to entertain them a la Chancellorville
in case they are disposed to advance. But Lee is a
man of his own counsel, and while he keeps his
secrets well, seems never to aim at a ruse, preferring
rather to mature his plans and then to execute them
without regard to what his foes may imagine or
really know. Ills disdain of surprises argues some
thing akin to contempt for his adversaries.
The only clue to the report that Meade has rein
forced Roseorans, apart from the narrations of our
own scouts, is found in that unhappy paper, the
New York World; of the 29th. It appears that
enough.of Roiseorans' army was detached and tent
into Ohio to electioneer and vote against yalian
digham, to have insured us a victory over Bragg had
they remained in the field and participated in the
' Chickamauga fight.' It appears further that , f ten
thousand killed and wounded, millions of stores and
scores of guns lost, a disastrous retreat, and new in
spiration to the rebels,' is regarded by Messrs. Lin
coln and Stanton a cheap price to pay for winning
a State election,' for this no one will deny who
considers that not one soldier has been sent out of
Ohio, in spite of the present danger to Boseoranc ,
His reinforcements will be drawn from all quarters
till the election in Ohio is over, in spite of the in
creased distance, time, expense, and'peril."
Now, a clever little article like this would appear
tcfmuch more advantage in the Tribune and Limes
than in the World. That parer- ought to be above
such dull attempts at deception. But the principles
Which guide a " War Democrat" are rather loose.
In the first place, Roseman is not in any " pressing
danger," for he announces under his own hand that
he "cannot be dislodged from my (his) position."
In the second place, General Lee has some common
sense remaining, as his active efforts to fortify the
Rapidan prove. In the third place ' General Meade
has confessed publicly that he owed his success at
Gettysburg more to the folly of the rebels than to
his own generalship. But the "folly of the rebels"
was of such a quality as to convince General Meade
that he as mole to gain by subterfuge, which shall
draw General Lee into another trap like that at Ce
metery Hill, than by an honest, straightforward at
tack. Be his convictions -what they may, we will
answer for it that Lee is prepared for him. Let
Meade come 00, 'and we will wager a small amount
-that it will not be Lee who will be repulsed this
time. - -Richniond Whig, Oct. 5.
Important Speech`of Earl Russell on
American Aitaire.
On the 26th of September Earl Russell was en
tertained at Blairgowrie, Scotland, by a number of
hie friends, and made a speech of interest and im
portance on the foreign relations of Great Britain,
and especially on her relations to the United States:
ENGLAND AND THE MEXICAN QUESTION.
Gentlemen, there is another question concerning
our foreign relations on which , a great deal of nalsap
prehension has at various times and very lately pm
meanthe question of Mexico. It has been
said that there has been intervention in Mexico, and
that we in some degree took part in the interven
tion. Now, that word intervention is unluckily
employed with a great deal of license and confusion
to express a great many different kinds of proceed
ing. There is an intervention certainly when a
Power, the subjects of which have been wronged,
asks redress for theme subjects. When their pro
perty has been windier taken, when the persons
of their subjects have been injured, that is an in
tervention quite justifiable and often indispensably
necessary. [Hear.] There is another kind of in
tervention against which I have often protested,
which I think is on very rare occasions indeed to be
justified, and which generally finds its condemna
tion in the consequences which follow from it—l
mean the forcible intervention in the internal affairs of'
another nation, to prescribe its government and dictate
who shall be its rulers. [Cheers.] Well, gentle
men, in the former kind of intervention we took
part, but immediately thelatter kind of intervention
was adopted by one of the three Powers which were
concerned in these hostilities in Mexico, we at once
parted company with our ally, and have since taken no
part in the, affairs of illarico. [Hear a l Gentlemen,
such is our condition at the present moment. If the
people of Mexico approve the intervention which
has taken place ; if they like to set up, a monarchy
in Mexico, and if they all willingly obey it; if they
are enabled to establish peace and order in Mexico,
on these conditions I say, with all my heart, let
them have it, and I' wish , them success. --(Cheers.]
But if they.do not choose it ; if the people of Mexico
wish for the form of government which for many
years they have adopted, wby,then, I again say we
have no business to contradict them in that respect ;
and that, with the people of Mexico, however ir
regular their form of government has been, sand
howeverthe country has been deformed by acts of
robbery and violence, yet I do not think we ought
to interfeie about their own choice of their own form
of government. [Cheers.]
THE IrenuLLION iN AMERICA.
Well, gentlemen, I come now to another question,
a question interesting to us all, a question on which
taint beg for your attention, because I wish to ex
plain some circumstances in which the character of
this country, I think, has been maligned. I am
speaking of what has occurred in what a few years
ago were` the United States of America. A few
years ago we were exulting in the prosperity of that
country; we were harimr to -sca_s....paop•le, derived
nom - the - same ancestors' as ourselves, enjoying free
institutions, enjoying apparent harmony among one
another, and with whom we had, at least just be
fore the civil war broke out, hardly a difference—a
difference only with regard to the small island called"
St. Juan, and which we had proposed to refer to the
arbitration of the Swiss republic. This was the state
of affairs when that, which we certainly had no part
in, broke out ; when, if I remember rightly, nine of
the Southern States of America declared that they
would form an independent republic. Our course
on the subject has been attacked and blamed in the
bitterest terms—blamed sometimes by the Federals,
and sometimes by the Confederates. The first of
fence was felt by the Federate. They said we had
no right to grant, so far as we were concerned, to the
Confederates the rights of belligerents. Well, now,
gentlemen, that question of the rights of belligerents
is a question of tact. I put it to you whether, with
6,000,000 people-6000,000, I mean, of free men, de
daring themselves in their several States collectively
an independent State—we- could pass over that as a
petty rebellion? Our admirals- asked whether the
ships they met bearing the Confederate flag should
be treated as pirates or no. If we had treated them
as pirates we should have been taking part in that
contest. [Cheers ] It was impossible to look on
the uprising of a community of five millions of peo
ple es a mere petty insurrection—[hear, heafl—or
as not having the rights which at all times are given
to those who by their numbers and importance, or
by the extent of the territory they possese, are enti
tled to these rights. [Cheers.] Well, it was said we
ought not to have done that because they were a
community of slaveholdets. Gentlemen, I trust that
our abhorrence of slavery is not in the least abated
or diminished. [Loud and prolonged cheers.] For
my own-part, I consider it one of the mast horrible
crimes that yet disgraces humanity. [Cheers.] But,
then, when we are treating of the relations which we
bear to a community of men, I doubt whether it
• would be expedient or useful for humanity that we
should introduce that new element of declaring that
we will have no relations with a people who permit
slavery to exist among them. We have never
adopted it yet, we have not adopted it in the case of
Spain or. Brazil, and I do not believe that the cause
of humanity would be served by our adoption of it.
[Hear, hear.] Well, then, it was said that these
' Confederate States were rebels—rebels against the
Union. Perhaps, gentlemen, lam not so nice as I
ought to be on the subject. But I recollect that we
rebelled against Charles 1., [a -laugh,] we rebelled
against James 11., and the people of New England,
not content with these two rebellions, rebelled
against George 111. [" Hear," and laughter.] I
am not saying, whether all these rebellions were
justifiable or whether they were wrong—l am
not saying whether the present rebellion in the
Southern States is a justifiable insurrection or
is a great fault or a great crime. But I say ' the
mere fact of rebellion is not in my eyes a crime
of so deep a dye that we must renounce ell fellow
ship and communion and all relationship with
those WhO have been guilty of rebellion. [Loud
cheering.] But, certainly, if I look to the declare.
tions of those New England orators—and I have
been reading lately, it not the whole, yet a very great
part, of the very long speech by Mr. aumner on the
subject, delivered at New York—l own I cannot but
wonder to see these men, the offspring, as it were, of
three rebellions, as we are the ofrepring of two re
bellions, really speaking likethe Czar of Russia, the
Sultan of "'whey, or Louis XIV himself, of the
dreadful drime and guilt of rebellion. [Loud laugh
ter, and cheers,] Well, gentlemen, there came
another complaint, and the complaint came this
time from those moaned Confederate States, who
said that we had, contrary to the Declaration of
Paris, contrary to the general international law,
permitted a blockade of 3,000 miles of the Southern
coast of America. It is quite true we did so. It is
quite true—and there, perhaps, there seemed atleast
a plausible reason for complaint-that though this
blockade was kept up by a sufficient number of
ships, yet these ships, many of them adopted into
the United States navy man sent to sea in a hurry,
and ilatitted for the purpose, did not keep up that
blockade eo effectively and so thoroughly as it must
have been held an effective blockade required. But,
still, looking at the law of nations, it:war a block
ade ; it was a blockade which we as a great belligerent
Power informer times should have acknowledged. We,
ourselves, have had a blockade : of upwards of two
thousand miles, andat did seem to me that we were
bound injustice to the Federal States of America to
acknowledge the blockade. But there was another
leason, I confess, that weighed with me-rour peo
ple were suffering, and suffering very =greatly, for
the want of the material which was the great sup
port of their industry. It was a question of self
interest whether we should not break that blockade,
but, in my opinion, the name of England would have
been forever infamous ' if, for Me sake of interest of any
kind, we had violated the general laws of nations, and
made war with, those slaveholding States of America
against the Federal States. [Hear, hear.] And, gen
tlemen, I am mot speabing the sentiments which
are peculiar to myself, or to those who have no im
mediate interest in the question, but these are, I am
convinced, the sentiments of that noble-hearted peo
ple of Lancashire, who have lived and flourished by
that industry, but who would not, I ant sure, allow
a single spot on the escutcheon of theirs nation in
order to maintain that industry. ["Hear, hear,"
and cheere.] •
SHIPS 7031 TIM REMBLS.
Well, there came new complaints—a complaint on
the pal t of the Federals that we allowed a ship to
leave the port of Liverpool, which afterwards coin,
witted depredations on their comnierce. Gentlemen,
it would lead me far if I were to go over all the par
ticulars of the question, but you must know that in
ordetto prove an offence you require such evidence
as can be pitted in a court of justice, and it was not
till the very day the Alabama left Liverpool that, in
the opinion of lawyers, we had evidence sufficient
to keep the vessel and crew. ;then I doubt whether if
we had brought the evidence before a court of
'w law,
it would have been found that e had sufficient
evidence to condemn her, because, by an evasion
of the law, the ship was fitted up without the arms
necessary for her equipment, anti these arms were
conveyed to her in the waters of a foreign country,
very tar from the jurisdiction of England. [gear.]
Gentlemen, these questions must ho weighed, and I
think they will be weighed, as they frequently have
been weighed by the GaVe.T.IIMMt of the United
States of America, -in the balance of equity. - We
know that the foreign enlistment, act, and the whole
law respecting tbe subject is very difficult of applica
tion. The principle is clear enough. If you are
asked to cell muskets, you may sell muskets to one
party or the other, and so with.gunpowder, shells, or
cannon ; and you may sell a ship in the same man
ner. But, if you, on the one hand, train and drill a
regiment with anus in their hands, or allow a regi
ment to go out with arms in their hands to take part
with one of two belligerents; you, violate your neu
trality; and commit an offence gainst the other
belligerent. So in tho same way in regard to ships -
.
if you allow a ship to be armed and go at once to make
an attack on a foreign belligerent, you are yourself,
according toy our own law,takingpartinthewar, and
it is an offence which is punished by the law. But
these questions lead, as you will see, to most difficult
problems ; as to: whether, for instance, a thousand
persons here may go out as laborers to the Federal
States, and in the next place &thousand muskets may
go out in another ship, and when they arrive in
America, these thousand laborers, having had an
understanding before, may make a forme} engage
ment and be armed with these thousand- muskets ;
tbeugh, if that bad been done in the territory of the.
Queen, and on the soil of this couxitry, it would

with regard to ships that have lately been prepared .
in this country, because these ships are not like. ship*
which receive the usual equipment known in wars or
imes past, but they are themselves without any further
armament, formed for acts of offence and war. They
are steam rams, which might be used for the pur
poses of war without ever touching the abores of
the Confederate ports. Well, gentlemen, to permit
ships of this kind knowingly to depart from this
country, not to, enter into any confederate port,
not to enter into the port of a belligerent, would,
as you see, expose 'our good faith to great sus
picion • and I feel certain that if, during the
war with France, the Americans bad sent line.

whatever reasons they might' have urged in support

neutrality. Such is the spirit in which lam prepared to

thing that our law, that the foreign enlistment act re ,
quires, I am prepared to do, and even, if 12 should be
proved to be necessary for the preservation of our fleth•

to further measures. In short, to sum up, her majesty'a
Government are prepared to do everything that the duly
of neutrality requires—everything thatis just to softie' nd
ly nation, taking as a principle that we should do to
others as we 'should wish to be done to ourselves. [Loud.

And now, reverting again to the complaints that
have been made, it is singular to oblierve howojann

duct. There were some persons, members of the
House of Lorde, who thought fit to complain on ass.
apparent care of grievance—and not oils case, bet
many oases—of ships of ours that had been seized e
ships in some cases passing from neutral ports,.
in other cases on the sea, but apparently on a legiti
mate voyage; and it was urged that we ought not
to submit to have our vessels thus seiied, endear
commerce thus interrupted. I had' to deal wills
that case, and my answer was, that according to thee.
law of nations, if a ship had an ostensible voyage to
a destination which was not her reaidestination—
if she was bound, in fact, to an enemy'S port witk
munitions of war, the belligerent had a right to stop
that vessel on the, high seas. I said the law had:
been laid down by Lord Stowell and other great
English authorities, and that now we were neutrals;
I did not think it tit we should depart front Maw we
had laid down as belligerents. [Cheers ] said
that in America, although there was some of the'
local courts which had not the authority of suck
men as Lord Stowell and Sir William Grant, yet
there was a Court , of Appeals, there was a Supreme;
Court In the United Stateerwhich contained, and had.
for many years contained, men as learned and of as
high reputation in the law, and of as unsullied repte.-
tenon for integrity as any that have sat in our Eng.;
limb courts of justice, and that we ought to wait
petientlyfor the deciaion'ot those tribtinals. Now,
what is my surprise to find, add what Would be
your surprise to find, that Mr. Sumner is so' pre..
judiced that he brings these declarations of mine
against me, saying that I diminished the game
tation of the American courts, end that I showed
myself biased against the Federal States by the
declaration I then made in Parliament!' [A. gen
tleman from the Southern States, among the com
pa, here ejaculated, " He is not to be believed."]
I will not detain you further on these subjects;
but one remark I must make on the general
dincy of these speeches and writings in America.
The Government of America discusses these
matters very fairly with the English Government.
Sometimes we think them quite in the wrong; some
times they say we are quite in the wrong; but we
discuss themfairly, and with regard to the Secretary of
State I see no complaint to make. I think he weighs the
disadvantages and difficultits of cur situation in a very
fair and equal balance. But there are others, and Mr.
Sumner is one of them, his speech ' being an epitome
almost of all that has been contained in the Ameri
can press. by whom our conduct is very differently
judged. With regard to all these matters there are
difficult questions; we may have reason to complain
in some inetances;and the Federal Republic of
America may have reason to complain also. But let
ns recollect that we are, as I have said, descended
from the same ancestors, that in the courts of jus
tice in America the common law of England is con
stantly studied, and the decisions of our greatjudges
constantly referred to as decisions to be there
respected ; that our Shakspeare and our Milton
.are'to them classical books as they are to :us ;
that we have the same inheritance of freedom, that
many of our institutions,as you may see by read
ing that excellent book'of M. De Tocqueville on
America, are identical ; that the same spirit of
liberty animates us both ; that we, after our revo•
lutions, chose a constitutional monarchy as the best
form of government, and they, after their revolu
tions, chose a Republic ;but that thnsunited. having
the same spirit of law, having the same spirit of li
terature, having the same spirit of freedom, we
ought, when this unhappy contest is over, to em
brace one another aw friends, and that we in the Old
World, and they in the New, ought to be the lights
to promote the civilization of mankind. -((Loud
cheers.) Now, gentlemen, with these feelings I own
I almost lose my patience when I see men, in what
is called an oration, heaping up• accusation after ate.
cusatioe, and misrepresentation after misrepresen
tation, all tending to the bloody end of war between
these twonations. I cannot but say, are they not
satisfied with the blood that has been shed in the last
two years, with that field of.. Gettysburg where
10,000 corpses of men most of them in the prime, of
manhood, where left lying stretched on the ground t
Are they not satisfied with that bloodshed, but
would they reek to extend to the nations of Europe
a new contest in which fresh sacrifices are to be made
of human life, of human interest, and of human
happiness 1 [Cheers.] Gentlemen, I trust that that
Lill rtrtl.
efforts, such as they are-weak they may be, inef
fectual I hope they will not be—will be directed to
keep peace between these two nations, and to do
everything which I think is just and right toward
these people; and ready to meet attack if we are
unjustly attacked;: ready to bear our part in the con
test, if contest there shunt be, but yet believing that
we ought to make every "effort that all these various
conflicts may end in peace, in union, and in friend
ship, I shall at all events have the consciousness
that I have done my best to preserve peace between
these mighty nations. [Loud cheers.] Gentlemen,
it is a great subject it affects the people of this part
of the world and of America ; it affects the future
stage of civilization ; it affects the wellbeing of the
black race, whom it was the crime of our ancestors
to introduce to America, and who, if these matters
end well, will be, as I believe they are fitted to
be, peaceable and intelligent members of a.
free country [cheers,] on behalf of whose wel
fare we have been ready to make great efforts,
and to sacrifice much. But we will not sacrifice any
of those views of ours to mere pretence. We have
as strong feelings for the good of mankind as any
people can have ; we must maintain our own posi
tion, and my belief is that the people of what were ,
the United States, whether they are called Federate
or Confederates, will finally do us justice, and that
they will observe—as, indeed, they cannot help ob
serving—that in this free country, where there is so
much discussion and so much difference of opinion,
there are parties, very considerable in number, who
sympathize with the. Confederates, and other large
masses—l believe superior in numbers—who sympathize
with the Fetierals but whether sympathizing with
the one or the other, we have all embraced in our
hearts that sentiment of justice—justice we will do
to others, justice weexpect for ourselves, and I hope
I am interpreting the feelings of your minds when r
say that justice ought to prevail.
Letter from Minister Adams;
"LEGATION OT T.Hic 'UNITED STATES, LONDON.
Sin : I have the honor to informyou that the
President of the United States has received the re
solutions of the Trades Unionists, adopted at their
meeting held at St. James , Hall, London, on the
28th of Blarch last, and, heretofore transmitted to
him through the medium of this Legation. lam di
rected to request you to say to them on his behalf
that he is profoundly impressed by the liberal senti
ments which they have expressed in regard to the
United States, as well as by their good wishes for
the restoration of their internal peace upon the Only
sure foundation of national integrity and union.
The President, moreover, appreciates the earnest
desire which pervades the address of the Trades
Unionists for the preservation of peace and harmony
and mutual affection between Great Britain and the
United States. That desire is viewed by him aajust,
natural, wise, and humane;while it is in exact ac
cordance with the earnest vishes of the American.
people. The President willingly believes that in
these respects the Trades Unionists have spoken the
voice of the people of Great Britain, and'in the
same sense he responds to it on the part of the peo
ple of the United States, with equal directness and
not less earnestness.
I have the honor to he, sir, your obedient eery";

SEIZITRE OF THE MARYLAND LEGISLATTINR.—
The following passage in the speech Made by Hon.
Homy Winter Davis, in New York, on Friday eve
ning, was no doubt spoken in alluaion to the recent
diecloaures as to the ,arrest of the members of the
Maryland Legislature:
"No man will more promptly raise hie voice—as
has been proved against my own politicalSriends—
than I mine against arbitrary assumptions of power,.
but I will assert all the authority of the Government.
to stamp out treason. If anybody is hurt, let hint
come down to Congress next winter andlattempt to
impeach the President. Although I live right on
the border of flaming war, where Noma people have
been arrested, I have never yet heard , of an error
which picked up a man 'who was loya/Io the - United
States and incarcerated him. There, perhaps. may
have been some persons arrested• who were not
worth the while. I think, perhaps,,after the Mary.
land Legislature had been for throamonths trying to
hatch an egg, and could not doit, that it was not
worth the while to arrest them. Talk about the at.
rest ofthat wretched trash saving Maryland t Whyr-.
the egg ball lung been addled. I. hardly think they.
were worth their bread and butter in Fort 'Warren.'
yet they, themselves, had no right to complain.
