NAPOLEON CONSENTS TO MATAMOBOS TRADE—
:,MONET WANTED—TALL SWEARING.
.19 Rue dr Pbnthibvte,
s Paris. October 10, 1863.
My Dbab Sik and Friend : I (have telegraphed
to Sanders yesterday, that my friend was ready to
execute his contract, provided the cotton was surely
delivered in Matamoros. . I have also stated to him that
the protection of the Emperor was obtained, which
wouidl&Uow the goods to enter that-port, and the
cotton 'ib issue therefrom, without the slightest diffi
culty. ,
NotrcT am satisfied that we could obtain from my
friend five per cent, commission upon the value of
furnitures made, and three per cent,, or two per
cent, ugpn all that the cotton may bring in the Eu
ropean markets above the cost of said supplies, pro
vided, -however, that Childs would transfer his con
tract, and allow my friend fifty per cent.' of the
hundred per cent, allowed to himself by the .con
tract.; .This ;could hardly be refused, for my friend
not only advances the capital necessary to carry on
the contract, but also procures the influence of the
Emperor, which assures the success of the whole
Bebtmr beyond the probability of a doubt..
But I-doubt very much that my friend would ad-<
vanoe the £2,000 required by these gentlemen. Could,
you or.would you. advanoe the said stiin to assure
the execution of the contract by us! They need not
know you are the party advancing the samej and
in that case, I would require, from them, besides
what we* are to have from my friend as above stated, .
10 per cent, on the money advanced and 10 per cent,
upon the share of their profits ;,the whole to be di
vided between us. This, I think, would be a nice
piece of business. What doy.ousay to it ? Had you
not better see the parties and . hurry the matter, if
you believe thebusinessr as stated here a profitable
one? My . friend is veryluneasy lest the contract
should,he executed in England; he is very anxious
to take hold of it, not only because he believes it to
be a profitableone; bwf'otoo because he has feen t he
Emperor in person,'nml would-not-like the Emperor
to suppose,that he v hasjbeen .fooled in the. matter.
This, of would enable us to get from him the
terms which I have mehtibhed, which terms, of
course,;Beed not be mentioned to S. or Ch.
* A very strong argument to uee with these parties
is that, by our theygel a protection which
Lord Russell worddlftever. extend'to the English -mer
chants. aed which -makes the whole business a safe
one—just as much as though we were in time of
peace, t
Should you share' iny opinion, try to convince
them ; hurry them .on' to;Paris ;lfor delay and pro
crastinatlbn might prove fatal to our plans. Let
mo know whether youare always disposed to ad
vance, what sum, and how X would be to get it,
either by. drawing on you, or by you remitting it to
me. So soon as Thear something definite upon
this subject. I would 1 go to work; close this matter

Sanders the necessity of holding his tongue with re
gard to:tfce protection alluded to, for it would damn
us if let out.
I repeat it here again, it is agreed and understood
between myself and my friend that, should we get
the contract transferred to him upon these gentle
men allowing him, on account of his risks, advances',
or rather disbursemeDts and influence, we will be .
entitled— lst, to five per cent, commission upon the
whole value of the orders to be filled; 2d, thirty per
. cent, upen the difl'erence between the invoice bill and
the net proceeds of the cotton sold here. -
These gentlemen allowing us even' five per cent,
upon the®, interest, and the money advanced by you,
would make it a glorious thing.
I say, damn italtvihe news just in ought to decide
them. ‘The thing is ready; twenty-four hours.will
settle the whole thing. Damn it all, go to work and
telegraphi lor our man U very anxious on account of

I will go to England aod fix the railroad ooncern,
and speak-ab'Qut a box of samples from.our friend, to
be placed in the steel and presented to Jeff, with an
offer to supply our army in time of peace and war.
We would on that receive forever a commission of
five per cent, also.
Since writing the within letter, I have seen my
friend, and he agrees to the item of five per cent,
commission on the value of the goods furnished, and
thirty peroent. on the surplus brought by the cofcloa
in Europe* It is worth while to get, is it not?

My Dear Sir : Upon receipt of your note of yes
terday I have called to Bee my frlendß, and, in rela
tion to the proposed operation, I found them dis
posed, in principle, to exeoute the contracts referred
to, provided the cotton’s arrival at Matamoro* be
made certain.
What is the quantity of bales ?
"What is the price the cotton is to be delivered ay
When is the, cotton to be at Matamoros?
What are the objects to be furnished?
Where are they to be delivered?
How is our interest to be guarded and secured?
&C»
%?? these are questions hardly to be discussed by
correspondence, and which should all be stated as
to place the whole matter in its proper light.
Evidently there can be no definite engagement be
fore the parties meet and agree upon all these terms.
Do you not think it worth while for you to accom- ]
?any your friend over to Paris? I really think so.
f you cannot, fix our interests with Mm before he 1
starts from London. . j
As I presume you wish me to abstain from making
any statement to the party referred to in your letter,
and as I suppose your letter refers to the same con
tract, I will be silent in that quarter until I hear
more fully from you'upon the subject. I will beg of
you not to be so d—d mysterious another time, for i
assure you that I felt somewhat puzzled about it.
Let me hear from you soon, so that I may act in
the premises according to your wishes and diree
-tionß. Nav, I feel, by some sort of magnetic power,
to pull with you entirely and exclusively. •
Let me know, also, what has been the result of
vour interview with regard to our railroad opera

love. It is almost useless to say that any other cor
respondence must ignore my having written to you.

General Oeukrs.—Soldiers of the Ist cavalry
division, we have loat our chief. Our gallant leader,
our:heroic general, our kind and sympathizing
friend, has been taken from us by the afflicting hand
of Divine Providence. Wo bow submissive to the
dispensation, but we mourn, as mortals must, our
irreparable loss.
It is not forme to recall his virtues. Not a sol
dier in this command need be told of his qualities.
You know.his gallantry and ehivalrio nature. Get
tysburg atteats his glory *, Beverly Ford and the
scenes around you here bear witness to hit never
dying fame. .You need not be reminded of his goodness
of heart, his symffathetio nature, his high, sensitive,
coble feeling; they were all exhibited itf the kind
tenderness he has always shown for oursick and
wounded comrades, and ttie solicitude for tlje safety
of each man in his command. His master mind and
incomparable genius, as a cavalry chief, you all
know by the dangers through which he has brought
you, when enemies surrounded you and destruction
seemed inevitable. The dying words of your wounded
comrade, u I am glad it is’nt the General,” bear tes
timony .to your unutterable love.
But now, alas! “it is the General!” “He has
fought his last fight.” No more forever will you
see bis proud form leading you on to victory. The
profound anguish which we all feel forbids the use
of empty words, which so feebly express his virtues.
Let us silently mingle our tears with those of the
nation in lamenting the untimely death of this pure
and noble man, the devoted and patriotic lover; of
bis country, the soldier without fear and without
reproach. W. MERRITT,

Republicans and Catholics—Note from Div
Brownson.
To the Editor of the New York Times:
With regard to the charge, repeated in the Octo
ber number of my that the Times had said
that, when the Republicans “had put down the
rebellion, they must turn round and put down the
Catholics,” 1 have, since you denied the charge, had
an examination made of your files, by a gentleman
who was sure that you had said it, or something
like it, but all be can find out of which the charge
has grown, is that you once said, “Slavery, like
Popery, is incompatible wiih the age, and must go,”
or words to that effect. As to the propriety of class
ing slavery and the Catholic Ohurch together, I
have nothing, to say; but, if I understand, it was
slavery, not that Church, you said must go, in which
assertion I entirely agree with you.
. A friend has taken the trouble io.compare tho ori
gin in the Catholic papers against y ou, and the diffe
rent versions of which have been given; It appears
that the'charge first appeared in the Boston Pilot, as
an inference drawn by a correspondent from your
remark, which I have quoted. Another paper took
it up, and charged you with saying it. and after that
it became a fixed fact with tbe Catholic community
that you had said it., I write you to say that I am
satisfied that nothing like it has ever appeared la
your journal, and I regret that I took any notice of
it, which I did only to say, supposing you had said
it, it was no reason with me, a Catholic myself, for
not supporting the Republican party.
I agree with you entirely in your estimate of the
veracity of the so-called Catholio papers. You may
believe a statement you see in one of them if you
have sufficient evidence aliunde for believing it.
“Yery respectfully,
. O. A. BROWNSON.
Elizabeth, N. X, Dec. 21,1863.
The Affair of the Chbsaphake.—The Hali
fax Citizen characterizes the capture of the Chesa
peake as “ sheer piracy,” and puts the case to the
Secesh blue-noaea who compliment and befriend the
pirates In the following strong light:
“ Suppose that on board the Arabia, which sailed
from Halifax yesterday, two-thirds of the passen
gers were members ofthe “Fenian Brotherhood.”
Suppose that they, armed to the teeth, should sud
denly surprise the unsuspecting officers of the ship,
and, every circumstance of confusion in anunarmed
crew assisting this combination of equal numbers
and superior arms, the steamer should become their
prey, and itsorew and prisoners to be got rid of in
some Northern ports. Where is the man among us
who would hot hesitate to denounce such a capture
as atrocious piracy 1 Who would not feel satisfied
to hear of a British frigate Bwiftly pursuing the
pirates, and bringing back the Arabia to Canard’s
wharf, with the ringleaders of the plot swinging at
theyard-armt And yet such fellows could justify
their course; as fully as the captors ofthe Chesa
peake.”
The Halifax Morning Sun of the 18th, in speaking
of the affair, says: .
“ When intelligence of the Chesapeake’s first cap
ture was received here, the cold blooded murder of
her second engineer excited, and we think very just
ly, the indignation of a Urge number of our citizens.
Since then various statements have been made for
the purpose of palliating the crime, one of which is
that the second engineerwas armed with a revolver,
and discharged it several times, wounding one of the
Southerners* A writer in the Citizen, last evening,
repeats the story, and states that all the crew of Vie
steamer were armed wiih revolvers . This seems ex
tremely improbable, and the whole story is directly
at variance with the particulars given us yesterday
by Captain Nichols and two of his officers. They
state, on the authority ofthe engineer now on board
the Chesapeake, that the first shot tired was at a
fireman in the engine room, and when the second
engineer heard the discharge he turned rouad and
said ’Stop your d—d fooling,’ and, while passing
into the engine-room, was shot. Hooking at the
matter as we do in the light of a piratical act, we
cannot but feel pleased that the vessel has been
taken ; but we much regret the escape of the despe
radoes who were guilty of the murder.”
A Copperhead Church.—The rebel sympatoi
aer, Oldß, formerly a member of Congress from Ohio,
but more recently an inmate of ; Fort. X*afayette, is
going to join with Bishop Hopkins, of Vermont,
and establish a church which shall except the prin
ciple of human bondage as a corner stone of reli
gious faith. Olds and another Copperhead have filed
their papers as the inventors of the New Gospel, in
the Columbus as follows :
Governor Medary:
Dbae Sib : Will you oblige us by giving notice
in The Crisis, that, at an early day, the undersigned
will move for a State Convention, for the purpose
of devising some plan for a new Ghuroh organiza
tion, in which Democrats may enjoy the privilege of
hearing. preached the pure Gospel of our Herd Je
sus Christ, unmixed with Abolition fanaticism, and
without beinginauJAed and denounced from the pul
pit as disloyal for believing that the Constitution as
it is should be maintained, and the Union as it was
should be restored.
Democratic papers throughout the State will far
ther the'cause of Christianity by calling the .atten
tion of their respective communities to. the impor
tance of an early move in the premises.
EDSON B. ODDS,
VIRGIL E, SHAW.
The Set of the Tide.—On the 2d day of De
cember the Newburyport a paper which has
persistently opposed all those measures and pur
poses usually denominated “ Radical,” and favored
the most scrupulous “Conservatives,” gave utte
rance to the following language:
“Three years ago to-day John Brown died—exe
cuted for treason by order of Henry A, Wise, who,
since then, has himself been one of the chief of trai
tors. Then the great majority of the country de
clared his execution just; now that same majority
urgeß the war for the accomplishment of the same
end that he had in view. What a change has come
o <?er us in three years!. Then slavery was rampant
in Washington, and now emancipation is the word
on the Bams spot where the Goddess of Liberty is
represented as bending over to unshackle a negro.
Then Wendell Phillips dared not go to Charlestown
to defend John Brown, but Vallandigham was there
to question him. Now Wendell. Phillips would be
welcomed in that city, and Vallandigham, an exile
from the country, If caught there would be thrust
into the same cell .that Brown occupied, and pos
sibly hanged from the same tree. Who says John
Brown’s soul is not marching on?”
Hugo ahd Garibaldi.—The Guernsey Star pub
lishes the subjoined correspondence, which has, re
cently taken place between General Garibaldi and
Victor Hugo: ' ' _ „
« Oapreea, August, 1863.—Dbae Friend : I
want another million of muskets for the Italians. I
am certain that you will help me to collect the
neceeaaiy funds. The money will be placed in the
hands of the Signor Adriano Lemari, our treasurer.
«Yours, G. GARIBALDI.”
! “Dear Garibaldi : I have been absent, which
delayed my receipt of your letter, and your' receipt
of my reply. You will find encloied my subscrip

I can do. I will, as you think It useful, seize the
first opportunity to raise my voice. You will need

THREE CEN 1
Ml?. Phillips’ Speech, on the Pre
sident’s Message,
HIS BUI.OGY Alfl> (JRITIOISM OF THE PRESIDENT.
A very large audience assembled at tho Cooper
Institute, New York, on Tuesday evening, to hear
a speech from the great orator of anti-slavery. He
aaid:
Four years ago this month he bad the honor to
assist in giving the body of John Brown to the
keeping of the bills he loved. Selfishness, which
calls itself conservatism, sneered at his life as a
ridiouloua failure; and some men, who had called
themselves his friends, exoused his attempt on the
ground that he was a lunatic. We knew bet
ter now. The rebellion bad broken into the
cabinets of the ooDßpiratore, and we knew of a
Biuety now that the echos of his rifle* had
hardly died away on the banks of the Shenandoah
before South Carolina prepared for war in de
fence of her system. Four years rolled away, and
on the exact fourth anniversary of the day of his
burial, the victorious President offered eleven re-,
beilious States permission, to return to the Union on
conditions which John Brown would gladly have
accepted after twenty years’ hard fighting. Mar
velious progress for four years! Still might he say,
as he did to Theodore Parker, “ I may fail; I may
expiate my rashness on the gibbet; but I open a
teirible fire.” Bat the terms which would have
been gladly accepted in 1859—naked and bald techni
cal liberty for the negro—were not to be thought of
a moment in 1863. [Applause,] After the gun at
Sumpter, followed by three years of bloody and
costly war, there was no safe and admissible con
dition of peace but the substantial, practical pro
tection of the freedom of the negro, and the ele
ments of national life so arranged as to guarantee
peace and demooraoy within the borders of the na
tion. [Great applause ] It was In the light
of this reminiscence that he was goingto criti
cise the message and proclamation of thePresideut
on the 6th day of the present month. Some men
say, why make any serious criticism of the procla
mation., of the President—we know very weU-that
Mr. Lincoln did not expect it would be accepted.
Ho would not insult the bead of a great nation by
judging the solemn act of the most momentous hour
of .Mb life to be in such mood and purpose that he
waamot willing to have it accepted. No man who
trusts either the sincerity or the honesty of Abra
ham" Lincoln could look upon this proclamation
in any other light than as a declaration of the terms
upon which the President was willing; that the
Union should be reconstructed. The people regarded
the President as surveying the contest from a loftier
outlook than was permitted to any other man, and
.we should do him injustice, an injustice which the
masses of the nation would never do him, to say that
in bis deliberate judgment, in the full knowledge of
the facts, that proclamation did not contain proba
ble, possible, and secure guarantees of the future
peace and integrity of the Union. Other* said:
‘‘Why criticise the President?—we know he"*
is a growing man with his face Zionward.?’ He
knew it. All honor to the growing man. And why
did he growl Because they watered him. [Ap
plause.] Why did he advance? Because the na
tion pushed him on. [Applause]. If Mr. Lincoln
wexe a leader, it would be different; he would
so to him'; but, with all his merits —and they
were many ; with all Ms services—and they
were momentous, the President was not a
leader; never professed to be a leader—the
President was tne agent of public opinion, who
wailed to know what the people would allow him
and demand of him to do. His anxiety was North,
in opinion, to know how much he might trust him
self to act. Chattanooga was a brave sound at the
White House, .and gave*its tenants sound sleep;
but the election of Schuyler Colfax was ten times
bTaver, and made him sleep ten times sounder, [ap
plause 0 for he knew that Grant could go -to the
Gulf when he chose, but he did not know whether
the Northern people, culminating in the eleetion of
the Speakership, meant to say amen to the most ra
dical dreams ot the North ; and when he heard of
that vote in the House of Representatives, the peo
ple’s attorney at the White House dared more than
he had ever dared before.
Some WDtild say, Why criticise the message! Sla
very was dead and gone, and none could revive it.
WeJl, he heard that several times. After the revo
lution the South said so, but at that moment the
devil stepped over Carolina with a.handful of cotton
seed, and it grew up till it ruled New York and
Massachusetts. No, he never would believe slavery
was dead until it was cleared out of sight forever.
(Applause. 1 With the Government now on our side
he never would give up, until the stars and.atripes
were the unconditional emblem of freedom. [Ap
plause.] Beecher was eloquent in England, but
Vicksburg and Chattanooga, and Parrott gun* were
far more eloquent. [Applause,] Europe was trying
the experiment of thrones. Let her. If Europe
left Republicanism to America, well, but if she
interfered, then we should interfere, and assist
the radicals of Europe to upset the thrones. [Ap
plause.] Lincoln need not fear the South, for
what Grant had left undone he would do. [Ap
plause.] Only be assured, he would not sit down to
dig. [Applause and laughter.] The South would
have to go back to the Gulf States, for as the food
would not go to them, they would have to go to the
food. Four years ago, he said beneath the same
roof, that the South w as no coward, and they 1 aughed
at him. Now, they saw he was right, and the la*t
point of the South would be a fight. The war was.
not ended yet, but its end'was certain and the Union
would be constructed with a eminent .which would
laugh all else to scorn, All civil wars were ended by
compromise; so would ours, and the only question
was what she will compromise oh. The helm was in
our handstand we might compromise on all but
one thing, and that was that the tap-root of sla
very, should be cut. [Applause] He then pro
ceeded to speak of the scrip of the South.. Eng
land had, with her pirate ships, $100,000,000 of
this scrip, and would come to the reconstructed Con
gress saying that was not worth five cents on the
dollar, but they would give them that if by their
votes they would give them the. other $80,000,000,
and this would be done, for there was never a Con
gress which could not be bought for $20,000,000. Re
ferring to the President’s message of Ist January,
1863, he said the Executive had left it in the hands of
the Supreme Court, and it had to pass the ordeal of a
bench of Judges, who announced that a negro had no
rights which.* white man wae bound to respect. It
had to pass a man who had hit body in Baltimore, .
and his soul, if he had one, in Richmond. [Ap
plause.] Only two dissurite against that decision,
and one was dead and the other missing. God help
the negro, then, if he had to depend on Roger B.
Taney for hie freedom. He didn’t blame Mr.,Ltn
coln. He was like a tenant at will, who had a bad
chimney, but because he was going out in a month
he would not touch it. What he wanted from Mr.
Lincoln was an amendment of the Constitution,
which might be passed in sixty days, and which would
say that there should be neither slavery nor invol
untary servitude ou American soil. Mr. Sumner
wanted those Mississippi chairsfilied in the Senate.
So did he, but they should be so hot that not a slave
holder could sit on them. He concluded that we
could do as swe liked, and make Ifmcoln and his
Senate hereditary if we liked. Now Lincoln
thought he could reconstruct the Union without
touching slavery, but he was mistaken. Agaiu,
Mr. Lincoln set aside the Confiscation Act.
If the Soulh was conquered and Its land di
vided between the blacks and the white* who
won it, then we were safe. .Every Union
man at the South says, give them the power and
they will come back; let it be otherwise, and they
must be hung. Now, Mr. Lincoln’s proclamation
takes this land-power away. He alluded at some
length to the condition of the blaokß in Jamaica'
after the aot of emancipation which made a “ tem
porary arrangement” of the land, as Mr. Lincoln’s
proclamation did. Give him the negro on Ms own
soil, and he would treble the cotton crop in two
years. [Applause ] Why, this Government did not
know what democracy was l Mr. Lincoln, had one
i rival jhe was in the Treasury. If he loomed up as
President, let them watch. For his part, he would
not rest until Butler or Fremont manned the gnu.
[lmmense applause.] With such men to man the
guns, or hold the helm, no man, with justice to him
self, or to his children, oaa give rest to his eyelids,
or silence to his lips.
The speaker sat down amid enthusiastic applause.
Loud oalls were made for Horace Greeley, who
finally rose. He said it was hardly time to make
Presidents, and he had not quite decided that we
were to have another. [Laugnter.] He wished to
say, for one, that he thought the largest man in this
Government was the gentleman who had been large
ly censured to-night—-that was Gov. Ohsse. He
thought about the firmest anti-i lavery man, in spite
of what we had heard to-night, was this man—a
statesman who had been fighting the hardest com
mand, and whose battles had all been victorious so
far. Perhaps he may be, perhaps he. may not be, a
good candidate for the President. Certainly the
uties of the White House, or of the position of
either of the Secretaries, could not be envied. He
admired the confidence of the people, which he had
not always shared, for he sometimes had been to bed,
not knowing whether he should wake up in the
Union or in the Southern Confederacy, we have
seen the time, within two years, when two votes to
one would have been given in this city for Jeff Davis.
The meeting adjourned with three cheenfor Abra

Mr. Kelley's Remarks ou tlie 3lilitary
Deficiency Bill.
In our Congressional report, a few day* ago, patt
of the speech of our Representative, the Hon. W.
B. Kelley, were credited to Mr. Kellogg, of Indiana.
We, therefore, print in full Mr. Kelley’s remarks,
as published in the Globe:
Mr. Kelley. Mr. Chairm&D, the responsibilities
of our faction on this and all other bills rest with
this side of the House; and I think—judging by the
results of the recent elections—that it is to the ac
tions and opinions of this side of the House that the
people of the country, merchants, bankers, and peo
?le of all classes, look, and look with confidence.
remember to have once seen a beggar craving a
sixpence. The good lady from whom-he asked the
boon declined making the gift, but proposed to give
him, instead thereof, some advice. “Thankyou,
madam, 1 ’ said he, “I am full of it.” I feel, I must
confess, a little that way now—l have had quite
enough of such advice as we have been getting to
: &hat is asked of us, andhow ia it asked? The
proper committee of the House, that of Ways, and
Means, moved thereto by the proper committee for
the purpose, that on Military AfFairs/reporta a bill
to appropriate a . certain sum of money—a sum
within the estimates submitted by the Secretary of
War, the proper officer. . And on the proposition to~
appropriate money thus called for, the Heuse is to
receive a lecture on the danger of expanding the
currency to the proportion of the French assignats,
and other matters equally foreign to the subject.
There is no proposition to expand the currency of
the country before the House; nor is there any
disposition on the part of the majority to make an
appropriation which shall not be legitimate, well
advised, and in support of the great ends of the
Government. The recent elections have told the
men who hold the interests of the country in their
hands that the first great object, that nearest to the
heart of the people, is the immediate suppression of
the rebellion. This bill so well-timed, is important
for the promotion of that desirable end. We are on
the eve of an adjournment which may last , for a
fortnight. The Secretary of War tells us he wants
money on the eve ol the draft now seeming to be
imminent, while , volunteering Is yet aotive, for
bounties, advance pay, and premiums, wherewith
to promote voluntary enlistments. How shall we
• say to the people that we are supporting the war
and crushing the rebellion if, instead of passing the
bill, we call upon the Secretary of War to come up
and tell us now he is expending the $12,000,000
placed in his hands, by the express language of the
act under whichs that sum accrued, for the purpose
of procuring substitutes? ~ ,
£ shall not vote for the amendment of the gentle
man from New York; and I hope that, before we
adjourn, we will so vote on this question that every
loyal man In the country will feel that he did right
in voting for the men who are here, because of their
manifest disposition to vote all the men and money
that the war requires without equivocation or dodg
ing, or holding to accountability, on suggested sus
picion, the heads of Departments.
A word, now, as to the anti*republican means of
replenishing our army, denounoed by the gentle
man from Ohio (Mr. Cox). I voted/or the conscrip
tion bill, and am in favor of a draft, if necessary to
make our army adequate to its great work. " I have
not yet seen the man in the country who is too good
to owe it the utmost allegiance, even to tthe laying
down of his life for it. And I have yet seen no
fairer way-of getting an army than by putting
all the names of the able-bodied men of the
country in the wheel, and drawing there
from those whom Providence shall designate
as its soldiers. I take the responsibility of
standing by the draft. True, I would rather see the
youth or the country doing' as the. regiments
from my own district, veterans,’who have borne the
brunt and shooks of war for well-nigh three years,
are doing, cheerfully and enthusiastically volun
teering-again, determined to :fIU up the .ranks ana
move on to perfeot conquest. But when there comes
a pause in volunteering, during whiebthe country
needs*soldiers, enforce the draft. Bet, the richest
and the poorest, the humblest and the proudest,
march together in obedience _to the. laws of our
country to the support of its institutions. I have

Lieber, called Civil Liberty he will And it laid down,
as against the genius of republican institutions, as
against our traditional polioy as inherited from

against the English and American Constitution*.
And that authority of Ur. Lieber is now being used
by the Secretary of War in codifying the laws of
war for this Government. I refer the
veiy respectfully, to that authority. -

PERSONAIi.
Jenny Bind, it is Bald, has lost her voioe. Thfcr
is related to have made itself painfully apparent on
the occasion of her singing in the " Elijah," of Men*
delssohn, lately, in England, \ .
John Brougham seems to have his hands full of
literary work. Since writing the “ Bel Demonio’*
for Feehter, (which is having equal success with the
"Duke’s Motto," by the same author,) he has fur
nished Balfewith the libretto of hlf new opera
"Blanche de Nevers," and has written (for Ash
ley’s) a new and original drama, called "Might
gives Bight."
Robert Heller, the well-known prestidigitator
and accomplished pianist, a report of whose death*
by a railroad accident was one of the recent sensa
tions, isalive and well, having suffered but slightly
from the accident alluded to. ...
Bernard Ullm&n, on dit f has not relinquished'
all hopes of us, in & musical way. As soon as ha
gets through with a tour he is now making on tha*
European continent with Oarlotta Patti l he ir
coming over to America with a troupe of lyrir

"Spiridion," the Paris correspondent of thr
Boston Saturday Evening says that the great
tenor, Tamberlik, the man with the greatuf in*hir
chest, has, in effect, lost his voice; that is, hat ; Lost :

crossing the channel so often, taking*jolds, Ac, The •
present Paris favorite tenor is Fraschinii
At a war meeting held in Cincinnati on Wed- -
nesd&y of last week, Paraon Brownlow gave the fol
lowing good and sufficient reason for his recent
"change of base:"
“ I understand that this is a war meeting, and that
you are assembled here for the purpose of drumming
up volunteers. In this matter lamin a somewhat
awkward position, having recently taken to my heels
like a greyhound, and made three hundred miles in
short time. In the last two years, as you wellknow,
I have done some brave talking, which the rebels
remember. Were I not sure that I should not be
treated as :our soldiers taken by them are—incar
cerated in their lousey prisons—their Libbys .and
Castle Thunders—l should have staid, for I could
endure the lice. I did not run out of cowardice, but
I well knew that if they took me I would have to
pull hemp without a foothold, [laughter], so I ran,"
The Last New Opbba.—The Paris papers have
lately been occupied with accounts of the last opera
of M. Hector Berlioz, “ The Trojans.” The story
of this opera is founded upon the romanoe of. Dido,
following closely upon Virgil’s iEaeid. There is
fine scenic arrangement, and the duet between. Dido
and Anna, “ O Soror Anna,” is described as espe
cially touching. It is said that M. Hector Berllor
is now ill, and that the criticisms that have been
launched against ” The Trojans” have seriously dis
turbed him. The Varieties theatre presents a paro
dy upon this opera, under the name of ” Ajax and
his Washerwoman,” At the same time “Toe Tro
jans” fills the treasury of the Theatre Lyrique, for
the present. .
