|TUc Great War Meeting in New York.
letter prom the president.
At the great war meeting, held in New York on
the night of the 3d, Mayor Opdyke presided. The
following eloquent letter was reoeived from Presi
dent Lincoln:
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
Washington, Dec. 2,1863.
Messrs. George Opdyke , Joseph Benjamin F,
Manietre, Prosper M, Wetmore, and Spencer Kirby t
Committee: -
Yours of the 28th ult M me to be present at
a meeting to be held at the Cooper Institute on the
3d inat,, to promote the raising of volunteers, is re
ceived. Nothing would be more agreeable to my
feelings, or better accord with my judgment, than to
contribute, if I could, by mg presence or otherwise,
to that eminently patriotic object. Nevertheless,
the now early meeting of Congress, together with a
temporary illness, renders my attendance impossible.
You-purpose, also, to celebrate our Western victo
ries. Freed from apprehension of wounding the just
sensibilities of our brave soldiers fighting elsewhere,
it would be exceedingly agreeable to me to join in a
suitable acknowledgment to those of the great West,
with whom I was born and have passed my life.
[Applause j And It is exceedingly gratifying that
a portion lately of the Army of the Potomac, but
now serving with the great Army of the West,
have borne so conspicuous a part in the late brilliant
triumphs in Georgia. [Applause.]; Honor to the
soldier and sailor everywhere who bravely bears his*
country’s cause. [litmd applause.]- Honor, also,
to the citizen who cares for Mb brother in the field,
and serves as he best can the same cause. [Re
newed applause,] Honor to him only less than to
him who braves for the common good the storms of
heaven and the storms of battle.
Your obedient servant, * A. LINCOLN;
SPEECH OF GENERAL SICKLES.
General Sickles thus concluded an inspiring speech
amid loud applause:
You must not forget those brave and devoted men
' who, broken down from disease or wounds, are now
walking your streets without employment. A sol
dier who has served two or three years in the army
of the Republic, and carries in his pocket an honor
able 'discharge, will never beg; see to it that he
never/ suffers want. The baptism of truth purifies
men—makeß them better, nobler, prouder. [Ap
plause;] It gives them a deeper scorn for what is
mean, a truer reverence for all that is good. Honor
the private soldier who serves you, and you will
have no trouble in getting more to fill up the ranks
of your armies. Let America say to her privates
what the Spartan mother said,:‘‘My son, do not
lament your wounds, for every step you take re
minds Sparta that you have defended her in battle.”
SPEECH OP PARKE GODWIN,
Mr. Godwin, editor of the Evening Posf, said: "
Europe said we were slow, but be remembered
that the great Wellington took six years to drive
Napoleon out of Spain, a country as large as Vir
ginia, and then hegretired because of reverses else
where. Four nations,of Europe took two years to
occupy the Crimea, a country about as large as New
Jersey. England took 28 months to suppress the
Sepoy rebellion, about as great an undertaking as to
put down a rebellion among the negroes,of a county
in South Carolina. France had, in more than a
year, succeeded in getting only about ISO miles into
Mexico,-where ahe held, a very insecure position.
The masterly generalship which enabled Hooker to
baffle Lee before Gettysburg showed that we had
military genius among us. The marches of Fre
tffont rivalled those., of Napoleon. The charge of
Zagonyi equalled thecharge of Balaklava. If Eng
lish poets sang of NeUon and Trafalgar, ours would
sing of Farragut carrying his wooden ships through
a sheet of fire and flame to New Orleans, If the
great campaign of Napoleon in Italy made hia re*
Eutation, there was a man in the Southwest who
ad given no tinsel imitation. The meetings? the
Monitor and the ivlerrimac had changed sil naval
warfare. Mr. Godwin concluded by a touching al
lUßion to the heroic tars of the Cumberland, who
went down firing a broadside.
SPEECH OR JUDGE KELLEY,
General Meigs says, in Mb description of the bat
tle of Chattanooga, “ General Hooker’s battle was
above the clouds.” Let us do out duty, and ours
will henceforth be above the clouds, upon the.moua
tain tops, in the full blaze'of the sun of freedom,
and the brows of our soldiers will be fanned by the
breezes of fast-coming peace. No man tells ub to
night that the Government of the United States
may not coerce & State, [Applause.] That cl-md
aits very low in the valley of tribulation. No man
tells ub that one Southern soldier is equal to five
Northern ones. No man tells us that the rebellion
has all the military shill. Why, Daniel E Sickles
stepped from the streets of New York a soldier
worthy to be the first lieutenant of Fighting Joe
Hooker; and it will puzzle them to find, in the his
tory of the rebellion, ay, or in Europe ;either, an
abler soldier, injall respects, than Grant. No, that
cloud lies beneath us. Oh! hut the business of New
Yoikwas to be suspended, was to grow
in your streets. Down under the pale of despotism
lowers : that cloud.-.. Another cloud went under our
feet when grape and canister scattered a New York
mob. Yes, we have but to do our duty in the com
ing week, and we fight above all clouds.

The great event of breaking ground on the Union
Pacific Sailway came off yesterday near this city.
The population turned out en masse. The Territory
was represented by f itß Governor; the oities of
Omaha and Council Bluffs by the Mayors and Coun
cils. Speeches were made by several gentlemen
present, and the grand work inaugurated with the
utmost seal and enthusiasm. The following com
munications were received from the President of
the United States and other distinguished parties:

SEWARD, SECRETARY OINSTATE.
Department op State,
. . . Washington, Nov. 25,1863.
Maj, Gen. John A . President of the Union Pacific
Kailroad Companyi New York i
Mt Dear Sir : Your kind note, inviting me to
attend the ceremony of breaking ground'for the
Union Pacific Railroad Company, in Nebraska, has
just been received. For the first time, as I think,
since the foundation of the Government, the foreign,
relations of the country exact the attention of this
Department so constantly that its head is often
obliged to forego customary good offices and courte
sies toward the loyal citizens who-are engaged in
developing the resources of the country, and esta
blishing its For this reasonl
can reply to your invitation only very hastily, and
very briefly. Of course, I cannotj go to Nebraska,
and therefore I must decline. With your brave
help, and that of your armed compatriots on sea and
land, I hope we shall soon put down this wretched
and wicked insurrection against the Union. With
the help of our capitalists and our free and loyal
laboring men, the Union Pacific Railroad can, and I
hope. will, be extended to the Pacific ocean. When
this shall have been done* disunion will be rendered
forever afterward impossible. There will be no
fulofuai for the lever of treason to rest upon.
Faithfully yours, WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
* secretary chase’s letter.
Treasury Department, Nov. 25, 1863,
Mx Dear Sir: Your kind invitation to write
something that-may be read at the breaking of
ground on the Union Pacific Railroad in Nebraska,
found me in the midst of engagements so exacting,
that it has been impossible to write anything worth
the reading, r could not, however, omit writing al
together, for that would imply an indifference to the
work, which no American feels.
,Xt is among my most pleasing recollections of ser
vice as a Senator from Ohio, that the first practical
measure looking to the construction of a Union
Pacific Railroad, which received the sanction of
Congress, was moved by me. That measure was an
amendment to the Army Appropriation bill, placing
atthe disposal of the Secretary of War one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars, to be expended in surveys
and explorations of routes for the] road. It was
adopted by the Senate in February, 1853, and sub-;
sequently concurred in by the House. Its .results
are embodied in the volume known as the Pacific
Railroad Report, printed by order of Congress. #
It is another pleasing recollection that I had the
honor, in March, 1350, oi presenting and commend-,
ingto the Senate, the memorial of Dr. Pulte, an in
telligent physician of Cincinnati, praying that mea
sures might be taken for the connection of New
York with London, by extending the existing lines
of telegraph to the Pacific, by way of the coast and
Behring’s straits, through Northern Asia to St.
Petersburg!}, and there forming connections with
the lines to the oities of Westem Europe.
The great work has since been completed to the
Pacific by the indomitable energy of . Hiram Sibley,
a private citizen of New York, aided by the simple
promise of employment and compensation by the
Government. On the other side of the Pacific, the
Russian telegraph lines from St. Petersburg, con
structed by the Imperial Government, approach, if
they have not already reached the Pacific; and
.American enterprise is earnestly enlisted in the task .
n o w certain tobe accomplished of completing the won
derful work which the Cincinnati physician sug
gested more than thirteen years ago.
1 Steam moves more slowly than by lightning. The
progress of the railroad has been neoess&rily slower
than that of the telegraph. When the surveys 'and
explorations for a route had been partially reported,
the subject of the railroad was again brought before
Congress, and I again hftd connection with it. now,
however, of a less pleasant, though still significant
character. Solicitous for the progress of the work,
I submitted a resolution in January, 1851, instruct
ing the.Oommittee on Railroads; and Canals to in
quire into; and report upon, the construction of a
railroad from some point on the western line of the
Western States, to'some point on the eastern line of
California. On the motion of Mr. Gwin, the refer
ence to .the Committee on Roads and Canals was .
stricken out, and the whole subject referred to a se
lect committee of nine Senators, from which, com
mittee I was excluded because I then held about the.
same relations to the party on the sub
ject of slavery as the War Democrats now hold on
the question of the rebellion. -
Mr. Gwln’s committee reported a bill, which,,
after much discussion and sundry amendments,
passed the Senate in i 860; but failing to receive the
sanotion of the House, did not become a law."
. NothiDg further was done of importance in rela
tion to the Pacific Railroad during the next seven
years. The attention of the country Avas absorbed
by other questions, and it remained for the Thirty
seventh Congress to give a grand proof of the sta-.
bility of the Republic and the worth of Democratic-
Republican institutions, by taking up the great
measure in the midst of our terrible civil war, and
framing itinto a law. The Thirty-seventh Congress,
will be forever memorable in history as the author
of many acts, of legislation of tranacendant im
portance and far-ieaching consequences. Among
these great acts the Pacific Railroad bill will re
main as one of the most illustrious monuments of
the wisdom and courage of its members; -
I shall not attempt any discussion of its import
ance to our industry and commerce, or our Union.
I have elsewhere said something oh these themes;:
but now the road is its own most eloquent advo
cate. I rejoice in the belief that, under your oharge
and that of the other eminent citizens; associated
with you, it will go gsteadily forward to completiOD,
and vindicate, by perfect success, the most sanguine
predictions and hopes of its advocates and promo
ters. Very truly yours, S. P-. CHASE;
g Gen. John A. Dix, President Union Paciflo Rail
road Company.
In the evening the Mayor of the city gave a ban
quet, and the city was illuminated.

Escape of two Prisoners from lAbfey*.
rFrom the Chicago Journal of Dec, 2d.J
This morning we bad a conversation with a young
man named Thoman J. Orr, a private; in Company
F, 13th lUinoie Infantry, who with another prironer,
escaped from Libby Prlcon, at Richmond, on the
night of the 14th of November, and succeeded in.
safely' reaching the' Federal lines. The other prl.
soncr>s name la William Cammlre, a sergeant in the
73d Illinois Infantry., Orr is a native of Canada
Fact,near Montreal, and enllatod|at Sycamore, la.
this State, and was captured on the 14th of July, at
Jackspn, Mississippi; Cammire was wounded and
captured on the Cbickamauga.'
- Xhe tnanner of their ecoapa is thus stated: The
THREE CENTS.
night was very boisterous and rainy, and taking ad*
vantage of tniß circumstance, Orr and Oammira
made a rope or their bedclothes, and with it let
themselves down from a three-Btory window to a
sidewalk on a public street of Richmond. There
were two sentinels near the spot, only fifteen feet
apart, but owing to the noise and blinding effeofc of
the rain the prisoners were not discovered, and hast
ened out of the city as speedily as possible; swam
James river below the city, and by a circuitous
route reached tVhite O&k swamps,on the Peninsula,
and concealing themselves by day, and travelling in
the night, reached the Union lines- at Williamsburg
a week after leaving Richmond. The negroes
along'their line of escape provided them with
food. They passed through a line of fortifi
cations some three miles-in extent, near James
liver, about four miles from Richmond. Heavy
guns were in position, and many of them; bat not a
eololer was to be seen in or about the works, and
Orr Bays that if he could have found any spiking
materials he certainly could and’would'bave' spiked
every gun on the fortifications, there being nothing
to prevent him. But he had no time for delay, espe
cially since his companion, having a palnfal wound,
required much care, and could not walk rapidly.
Having sAfely arrived at Williamsburg, which is
garrisoned by our forces, the two had no further
difficulty. They went to Yorktown, then to For
tress Monroe, and thence by boat to Baltimore,
where they were granted a twenty days' furlough to
come home* They reached this city last night.
Orr, who appears like a very modeot .ana candid
young man, in answer to our question whether the
published reports about the ill* treatment and severe
hardships oi our prisoners at Richmond are true, de
clared that the treatment of our men at Richmond
cannot be exaggerated—their sufferings* and hard
ships are horrible, and the treatment by the rebels
is heartless and barbarous. The daily food furnished
to each prisoner consists of 10 ounces of corn bread,
made of unsifted meal, and an ounce and a half
of boiled meat; this is the regular ration for
twenty-four hours, When be left," the prisoners
were dying at the rate of from'fifty to one hundred
a day—some of the disease called bloody dux, which
could hot be cured or checked for want of proper
medicines, and otheraof actual starvation or dis
eases engendered by tiie want of Sufficient or whole
some food. The rebels at Richmond claim that the
number of 44 Yankee prisoners ” there is 12,700; and
they were making arrangements to transfer many of
them to Lynchburg and Danville, Virginia. The
number in Libby Prison was 300." Lyman Dennis,
of the Bth Illinois cavalry, waß very sick -in Libby
when Orr left, and was not expeoted to live. There
were very few Illinois or Wisconsin soldiers among
the prisoners at Richmond, though quite a number
from lowa—moat of the prisoners are Eastern men.
Orr feels quite certain that the number of rebel
soldiers garrisoning Richmond docs not exceed se
ven thousand.
A Visit to the Returned Richmond Prison

[From the Washington Daily Chronicle, Dec 3 1
We direct special attention to the subjoined thrill

he says is worthy, not only of the sympathy of the
public, but of the immediate and vigorous action of
the Government. We have never read at once so
powerful an argument against the Intmm&nityof
the rebellion, and so earnest an appeal in favor of
the brave men who have sacrificed almosteverything
in order to sustain the cause of their country:
- Annapolis, Mu., December 1,1863.
To the Editor of the Daily Morning Chronicle:
Deab Sue : Although the statements respecting
the extreme wretchedness of the Union prisoners,
returned from Richmond, seemed to me to be so well
authenticated as to preclude all possibility of doubt
or mistake, I yet resolved to satisfy myself of their
truthlulne&B, or otherwise, by actual personal ob
servation. To this was prompted by no de
sire to gratify a mere idle curiosity, but to reader to
these poor men, if possible, all the good that might
lie in my power. ‘‘Ee that kooweth to do good,”
says St. James, 45 and doeth it not, to him it U sin,”
Nor are we, in cur ministrations of mercy, to wait
until occasions for their exercisepresent themselves
at our doors, but, in imitation of oue blessed Re
deemer, we are to seek them out. He “ went about
doing good,” penetrating into the hedges and by
ways, and scattering benefits and blessings among
the outcast and despised of earth. "
-Actuated by motives such as these, I paid a visit
to the Government hospitals at Annapolis, and pro
ceed to furnish you with a statement of the condi
tion of the prisoners recently returned from Rich*
mond, In my visit there I was most kindly assisted
by Rev. H. C. Henries, the laborious and seif-deny
icg chaplain, in charge of that place. Be assured,
it is not possible to exaggerate the scenes of horror
there presented; they defy the descriptive energies
of language. The pictorial representation in Har
per’s bo far from being an exaggera
: tion, affords but a very inadequate view of these
scenes of wretchedness. In my pastoral experi
ence I have stood at the bedside of many dying
sufferers; often have I seem.the human frame
painfully reduced by the ravages of consump
tion, but never before have my sensibilities been so
shocked as at Annapolis. Were they part of the
brute creation such barbarity would be most foul
and revolting, for the Scripture saith 11 the merciful
man iegardeth the life of his beast.” But to look
upon men who, a short time since, were robust ana
stalwart—men, not brutes—immortal men, created
by a common Father, and redeemed by a common
Loid—to Bee such reduced to wasted and bony
skeletons, by withholding from them the “ daily
bread” for the production of which the. Lord of
heaven and earth sends his genial sunshine and
his refreshing rains. Oh 1 this was a scene
which, in this land of plenty, enriched by the
superabundant goodness of God, I never ex
pected to witness. Such,. did wit
ness only to-dsy in the hospitals at this place
men, from emaciated bodies, breathing out their
. spirits iuto the hands of God, whose death
has been literally wrought by themurderous process
ol stamation! An unspeakable satisfaction to me
wab it to be permitted, in company with, the beloved
chaplain, to point a number of such dying starve
lingato 1,4 the Lamb of God that t&keth away the
sins of the world.” In every instance, when it was
in The power of-these poor men to Bpeak, they have
died, and the last lingering accents on their. lips con
sisting of invocations to Christ for the remission of
their sins, and in the supplication of blessings from
the Almighty Ruler of the world on their beloved
country. Very few of these men, after their arrival
here, have been able to articulate. They could only
signify their wishes by looks and signs! From the
few who are able to speak, it is a noteworthy fact,
that I.did not hear a solitary murmur of complaint
that they had taken up arms in the service of their
country, or that, by tiie myateriousaess of Provi
dence, they had been doomed, for such a cause, to die
‘ even so ghastly, and horrible a death. With the
; Apostles of our Lord, these heroic men seem con
tent, in the prosecution of their noble work, to en
dure even worse things than a baptism of blood and
amaityrdom of fire, even a horror not confronted
by the Apostleß themaelvea—viz: death by starvation !
In my intercourse with these famishing- victims of'
Southern barbarity, I was exceedingly anxious to
learn their own. impressions as to the oauses that
underlie the action of the rebel Government towards
themselves. Accordingly, I directed to numbers the
inquiry ‘‘whether the treatment they had received
at Richmond was voluntary or compulsory!” If the
; former, it would, of course, be the fault of their
enemies; if the latter, their misfortune. With one
accoid the answer was, that their dreadful condition
was mostly ■voluntary—’ the result of. a system of
wanton and deliberate cruelty! The Richmond con
spirators, our prisoners admit, are in straits, and
have it not in their power to bestow upon them even
a tolerable degree of care and attention. But their
condition is not so desperate that they might not; if
they wished, afford them at least m much daily food
as would aeive to preserve the holy : partnership
which the Creator hath instituted between the soul
and body. Their own destitution the rebels seize
upon, not as a real and truthful justification of their -
inhumanity, but as a pretext. And this they do,
not in sorrow, bnt in the intense maliciousness of
diabolism itself i They gloat over -it, that, for the
display, of their fiendish cruelty, they nave an argu
ment plausible enough to acquit themselves to their
own wicked “ foregone conclusions,” however trans
parent its fiimsinesß to all the world beside. I stood at
the bedside of a dying loyalyouth ?from Tennessee.
I kneeled at kiß bedside in prayer. He claimed to
have made his peace with God, through faith in
Jesus Christ. In the very article and hour of death;
when all purposes aie honest and all motives for
dissimulation vanish, I asked him: “Do you think,
my young brother, that the men at Richmond have
stamd you to death from choice; or were they
driven to it from necessity!” His answer was:
44 God forgive Ihewr; They might have done better if
they had wished." The utterances of another were:
“ 1 know they could have given us more food than
they did, from the amount they g&ve to the guards.
But they wished us to starve.” One of their lead*
ing men said to me: “ Libby Prison and Belle Island
are our best generals!—they are killing off more
men than Bragg and Lee !” -* v
One other fact I learned, most discreditable to the
rebel authorities. Belle Island is a contracted patch
of ground, consisting of only three or four acres, on
which thousands of prisoners are crowded, with
scarcely a,foot of intervening space. The water they.
are compelled to drink 1b in close proximity to the
Binks, and, necessarily, polluted ana poisoned. This
the priEoners are compelled to drink, in very sight
of clear and wholesome water, which is running in
perennial streams before their eyes, “Their hard
ships are thus purposely aggravated, and under them
an iron constitution meltß away as frOßts before a
summer's sun. This, indeed, is the very, refinement
of cruelty. /
From another of the dying men, I learned the as
tounding fact that, since the incarceration, of our
poor prisonerß at Richmond, in no solitary instance
has a woman appeared in their midst to minister even
to our wounded and dying! From the “ gentler sex,”
ordinarily so noted for the finer and better sensibili
ties of human nature, not one of our prisoners has
received so much as a 41 cup of cold water’’—nothing
but jeers and insults. How strikingly this contrasts
with the kindness lavished by the ladies of the North'
on the suffering rebels, whom the fortunes of war
have thrown into our hands! After the battle of Get
tysburg, numbers of , ladies from Philadelphia, and
elsewhere hastenedto the scene and distributed stores
} to the amountof thousands, md&cri7tti7ic/efy. Bet ween
the'parties they made hq .diitlnction. Had they been
monsters in humanS shape, they might >th§n have
. suffered thousands of rebels to aie.of neglect!. But:
it sufficed for them to know, that although engaged
in a gigantie iniquity—suoh as has nojt been pa
ralleled in the annals of crime since .the.orucifixion
of Jesus on Calvary—these misguided men were,
nevertheless, of the race of our universal manhood,
redeemed by the blood of Christ.' This .consideration
alone, sufficed to secure to them a passport to the
enlarged sympathies, and the most generous and
substantial, aid of our Christian ladies. These, as
thousands can and do attest, were most sponta
neously rendered, “without respect of persons.”
In no Pharisaical spirit, but in that
cated truth and soberness, may we, who .espouse the
side of the Union, thank God that such oruelty and
inhumanity, as.are now under review, may not be
chargedtows. ‘
To the conduotof the rebel conspirators it adds,
monstrous aggravation, that these barbarities are
being enacted in Richmond, undec the. immediate
cognizance of the so-oalled 44 Confederate” authori
ties. Did they occur in the Wilds of Arkansas or
Texas, or among the Sioux savages on the Pembina,
they might challenge some degree.of palliation. Rut
when we call to mind that the voluntary starvation.
of defenceless men is occurring at Richmond, within
the sound of the voices of Jefferson Davis, Judah
P. Benjamin, and their associates in crime, then
docs the bogus Confederacy itself become-responsi
ble for these atrocities, to God and man. Then will
impartial men, all the worlds over, maugre their ef
forts to bewilder the human mind by leadingit into
a mazy labyrinth of doubt, reach the inevitable con
clusion, that these men deservethe scorn of the oivi
lized world, not to speak of the jjißt vengeance of
Heaven. Surely, surely, the. bronzed terrors of an
incensed Omnipotence'muat ultimately overtake
them. A
But, can Anythin bo done for the relief of our
returned Richmond prisoners 1 In answer to this
interrogatory, I reply, XES-s-much, very much. The
Christian and Sanitary Commissions have already
accomplished wonders. Rut individuals and churches
can largely co-operate. Send per Adamß’ Express
(postpaid), to the care of Rev. Henry O. Henries,
lhe.belovcd chaplain at Annapolis; Md., whatever
stores you and your congregations can command.
Send money, which can be used in accommodating
the friends of the suffering men on their visits there,
Send flannel underclothing (shirts and drawers),
woolen stockings, pocket-handkerchief, bandages*
&c. Send fresh eggs, fresh poultry, &o. Send liquos*
and jellies, and whatever else your discretion
suggest as needful for the sick. And may the God
of all comfort bless and reward all who do sspOjto,
our brave and noble aoldiero!
Very truly, your Wend,^^^

THE HONEY MARKET.
PniLAUfeLphiA, Dec. 4.135 J. _
The.condition of the money market is unchanged.
There vs plenty of money at 7 per cent, for those: who
have the right sort of security, while many are supplied
at 6. From present indications the stringency will soon
be over—the National Bank issues will soon be in the
market to relieve the pressure. Gold was very much,
excited early in the day, bxit the interest fell off with the
price, which at the opening"was‘ls4, but which speedily
fell to 151 K, rising to 152J£, and continuing rather steady
for the rest of the day. Government securities are
steady, the demand being vcTy fair, the five-twenties
monopolizing the attention of inv'estore.
The stock market was active, but somewhat irregular*
the favorites being Reading and Catawissa preferred*
the former selling largely at G&#@6o» the latter rising
with a strong demand, to 30Jtf, an advance of Thla
