The Germans of New York on the Sehles..
wig-Holstein QUEStiOII.
A meeting of the Germans in New York, on Friday
evening, was addressed by Dr. Reinhold Solger,
Lieut. Col. Ried, (formerly of the Holstein army,)
and Fredrich R app—all scholarly and eloquent ex
patriots of Germany. The meeting adjourned, amid
three rousing hurrahs for Schleswig•fioletein, and
the singing by the whole assembly of the national
Sclileswig•Holstein hymn.
Resolutions were passed tendering cordial Sympa
thy to the inhabitants of the two Duchies ; calitog
upon the Germans throughout the country publicly
to express their condemnation of the shameless at
tempt to make Danish provinces of the German
Duchies ; declaring that the succession is less a
question of legitimacy or dynastic policy than of
the title to the German nation to one of the fairest
portions of the German land, the defence of which
Is a national matter, since its loss would open a
path for the enemy to the heart of Germany ; that
the London protocol of 1852 is null and void, and
that this violation of the rights and interests of
Germany must, if need be, be repelled by force
of arms • that it would show a lace of self-respect
were not the German people, forgetting all party
diedinctionis, to exert their united power to secure
to Sch,estrigliolstein that political independence
which was lust to her in 1850 by a treason unparal-
Jelled in history ; that our present misfortunes do
not permit tie to perget our duty to home and to the
German name, and chat we will aid our brethren is
Schlesceig-Holstein by every means in our power;
that a transcript of these resolutions, and the pro
ceedings of this meeting, be lent to the Central Com
mittee of the German National Verein, and to the
GOvettunent of Schleawig ; and, finally,
that the committee which called this meeting be re
quested to continue in the good offices for realizing
the rights of Schleswig-Holstein.
Progress or civilization.
The Chinese are about entering upon the study of
Emopean international law. An Englishman, Well
versed in the Chinese langauge, having translated
portions of Wheaton, Minister Burlingame sought
an interview with the Imperial Council for the pub.
pose of laying it before them. Of this interview, a
letter in the Timcs, dated Pekin, Sept. 14, thus
speaks:
"That book," said Mr. Burlingame, by way of in
ducing them to sanction the expense of printing it,
"may yet nave you expense of a foreign war." "If
it spans us a war, it is not the expense which we
consider, bat the life," they replied, attectiag that
sublime indifference to pecuniary c insiderations,
which is only exhibited by an avaricious people,
and a parsimonious government. "The author,"
ended Mr. Burlingame, "bas a European fame.
When published here, he will gain a Chinese re
putation."
The President .replied With the Mr of one who
imagined that he was adding the top stone to a co
lumn, and utterly unconscious that in publishing a
system of international law his people are only
lningiug up the 'ear of civilization.
"He is acknowledged.," said Mr. Burlingame,
"as the standard publicist in the cabinets of Eu
rope."
" We," said the President, determined not to be
inveigled into a premature acknowledgment of an
unknown code, "we shall deal with him ac
cording to the maxim of Confucius Cull out the
right, and observe it ; cull out the wrong, and cor
rect it.'"
Viewing it in 'Ebb light, they seemed to have little
hesitation in regard to its publication ; imagining
that, because it addressee them rather in the lan.
guage of an ethical philosopher than a legislator,
they are at liberty to adopt or reject its precepts, as
may suit their convenience. * * * *
. . . . _
Mr. Burlingame had remarked that "f would fa.
minute the degpfatoh of busic eta tor them to learn the
usages that govern the intemourse of nations."
"Not only so, ), the President added, "it wilt serve
as a guide for Me embassies we may send to foreign
Powers."
Recruiting in the lentil tbr Our Armies.
Governor Andrews' recommendation, that the
ranks of our depleted regiments might be recruited
in the South, by the offer of pecuniary inducements,
is expressed in the following language:
Raving sent into the field one man at least out of
every three of her enrolled militia, at some time or
another, since the war began, and having spent for
the service already not less than $16,000 000, in
cluding municipal expenditurh, but not including
the national taxation, I do not think it unbecoming
the people of this Commonwealth to suggest any •
Measure of justice tending to preserve her industry,
her ability to be useful to the country, and yet to
swell the ranks of the national armies.
fiWith this view, I think it not improper that she
should be allowed to recruit her wasted regiments
On the very fields where those regiments have borne
the national flag with honor,
and in the very States
they have helped to grasp from rebel usurpation.
Every man she might thus induce to join her ranks,
Would be one civilian saved to the national industry,
one soldier added to the army of the Union, one the
less possible victim of rebel conscription, one Union
man of the South enjoying, in the form of a Massa
chusetts bounty, some compensation for the waste
and want with which the rebellion had visited him.
Now, whether white man or black man, why should
we not be permitted to invite them to come ? Why
should we not encourage them by the pecuniary a
vantages of a remunerative servicel Why , not
weaken the walls of the house of the enemy by at
tracting whatsoever supports them? And how could
the mission he more actively prosecuted of disabusing
misinformed Southern men, and spreading over the
South, Low ruined by an insolent aristocracy, the
principles of the democratic North?
I venture to suppose that the opportunity offered
to any inhabitants of disloyal Stares of serving in
the regiments of the patriotic free. State volunteers."
of being helped and relieved by their bounties, of
marching under their tried and experienced coin.
menders, shoulder to shoulder with their intelligent
veterans f,of the rank and Me, would be the begin.
ming of one of the many moral victories of the war.
This measure, already proposed in Congress, of per-,
milting all the loyal States to recruit for their volun•
teer corps in those States to which no contingents
are assigned, I respectfully 'submit, deserves the sup
port of the Legislature of Massachusetts.
Nevertheless. under whatever decisions and awe,
with fidelity and courage unswerving and indom
itable, her people unit do their duty.

We left the camp near Portsmouth about nine
o'clock In the evening, and, dashing, into the dark
peen, arrived • in an hour at Deep Creek, where a
regiment of Gen Getty's brigade is now stationed.
A bum delay here, caused by the countersign differ
ing from the one in our possession, and we entered
the towpath of the Dismal Swamp Canal, which
volumene." at this point. Passing several picket
fires, at each of which a cavalryman cried," Dismount
one ; advance, and give the countersign !" we came
at length to the imerve. This consisted of some
twenty men, belonging to the sth Pennsylvania
cavalry, Who were seated around a blazing
fire of fence-rails, near a deserted house, with
several prisoners that had been brought in. This
we learned Was the last of our picket-posts, that it
was twenty five miles to Elizabeth city, and that
there were plenty of guerillas ahead. It was about
midnight when we bade our friends good-bye, and
entered the enemy's country. We were now in the
Weariest and wildest part of the Dismal Swamp,
the darkness was dense, the air damp, and the
ghastly silence was broken only by tee hooting of
owl., and crying of wild•eate. For two hours we
roge through the stygian blackness of the forest,
when we arrived at south Nitric—a collection of
about twenty houses—where we stopped to rest our
hones. Here we left the canal and descended into
another swamp of Hades. The narrow crooked,
road was flooded with water, and crossed innumera
ble little rickety bridges, over which our horses
picked their steps with great caution and re.
luctance. A mile of this road to Jordan, a slept.
don I bad expressed that we had missed the
way, strengthened every minute. Turning a
bend, a picket fire, with four men standing by it, ap•
peard ahead, while further on a large camp fire
lighted up the forest. What could this meant We
knew General Wild to be in Elizabeth City. Were
our friends the guerillas on the war-path? or had a
rebel force come down from the Black water 3 Turn
ips our horses 'aside, after a brief consultation, we
decided to advance, come what might. In a moment
we were challenged. Colonel-Draper-dismounted,
and led his home toward the picket. Presently we
heard exclamations of welcome, and then a call of
" All right—come on 7"
Hiding up, we round that the picket was-from
Draper's own regiment, and learned that General
Wild bad left a considerable force behind to guard
the bridge he had built. I need not say that this
was an agreeable surprise. In a few moments we
reached tee camp, which presented a scene of sin
gular picturesqueness. All about were strewn tim
ber., boards, joists, shingles, and the miscellaneous
debris of the buildings torn down, among which,
under shelter of every imaginable device, the sable
eolciers were stretched upon beds of cornstalks,
whiln a hundred blazing fires threwtheir glare upon

lIANCVIN6 A CIITZICILLA.
About noon, the sun coming out, a halt was oirlar
ed. The general and his 'staff rode forward to a small
unfinishee building, designed for a post office, stand
ing upon a knoll at a cross-roads. Sufficient boards
and laths were knocked off to afford an unolratruct•
ed view of the proceedings from two sides, when
one of the officers, producing a cord, tied a hang.
manta knot at one end of it, and, standing upon the
head of an empty cider barrel, made the other fiat
to one of the joists overhead. Alter considerable
experimenting, the barrel was made to serve for both
the scaffold and the drop, being ingeniously balanced
Wren One of the fioor.timbers, anti held in place by
a wei'ge which could be instantly removed. Prom
this to one of the windows a board was laid, and
thence another to the ground outside, forming an in
clined plane. Meanwhile, most of the °fibers had
ridden forward, and tied their horses to the fence of
an adjacent farmhouse, whoae inmates had closed ail
the window-blinds and a crowd of colored soldiers
encircled the building, watching in silence these
ominous proceedings. Lieut. Col Shurtliff, of the
nth United States, walappointed spiritual adviser to
the criminal, and went back with a guard to bring
him to the place of execution. When informed that
he bad but a few minutes to live, and was couaseled
to improve this time in making his peace with God,
he dropped upon his kneea in the road aad prayed:
"0, merciful Father, look down-upon me! 0, met'.
ciful Father, look down upon me !" These words
:done he repeated a hundred times, until the acting
chaplain stopped blur. Re then rose to his feet,
walked up the inclined board with a firm step, at
the point of the bayonets of the colored guard, ad
vanced quickly to the head of the cider barrel, and
stood under the noose. This being placed around
his neck, 001. Shurtliff invoked the Throne of grace
in behalf of the guilty wretch. As the word "Amen"
dropped from his lips, the General, who had taken
charge of the drop, purled the wedge—the barrel
tipped, the guerilla dropped. He was a man of
about thirty, a rough, stout fellow, was dressed in
butternut homespun, and looked the very ideal of "a
guerilla. Re died of strangulation, his heart not
ceasing to beat for twenty minutes. Then a slip of
paper was pinned to his hack, on which the General
had previously written: "This guerilla hanged by
order of Brigadier General Wild. Daniel Bright,
of Pasquotank county." And the body was left
hanging there, a warning to all passing bush
whackers.
BIOTAFIOR OF TR& NEGRO TROOPS
This raid possesses historical importance. It is
the first of any magnitude undertaken by negro
troops since their enlistment was authenzed by
Congress , . and by it the question of their effimecoy
in any branch of the service has been praetically set
at rest. Thoroughly obedient to their officers,
during a march of 300 miles their conduct on every
occasion was truly admirable. One inoidant in this
connection, coming within my own esperience, may
be properly related here: On the morning after
the fight at Sandy Hook, when Gen. Wald had de
termined to return and attack the guerilla camp,
the men were drawn up in line to be reviewed, and
all who wished to remain behind were asked to
step cut. Only thirty.fire—and those footsore and
lame—did OM I was instructed Dy the general to
find a hunered for the camp guard, and went down
the lino endeavoring to persuade more to volunteer,
telling them that there would be a big fight—that
the guerillas would have them at great advantage
down in the swamp—that they lost a number of men
yesterday, and would lose a great many more to.
day, and that they had better remain nettled and
help take care of the camp, where it would be per
feetly safe,
with little to do. I got but one man
out of five hundred, all the rest replying, " No, no

THE GENSITS.
Population. of the United States of the
Military Ages.
The National Intellfgencer publiphea a page from the
proasheete of the forth• coming volume on popula
tion, alluding-to the eighth census, from which we
extract:
One of the orators of the American Revolution
expressed a statistical estimate of his time when he
observed, "We are three millions one-fifth fighting
men." Indeed, were a population has reached
nearly its permanent condition, as in Europe ' and
the old States of America, one.fltth of the total
population is still found to represent very nearly the
number of males between the ages of eighteen and
forty-five. But the emigrating ages are allied to the
military , ages ; and in the newly settled States of the
West, the proportion of "fighting men" is accord
ingly greater, with partial exceptions, than in the
Atlantic States. Thus, beginning at the east and
proceeding westward, the number of white males
from 18 to 45 is. in Maine, 185 per cent. of the whole
white population; in New York, Mk per cent.; in
'lllinois, 22 1 per cent., in Minnesota, 23.8; and in
California, 47 1 per cent. The similar proportion in
Virginia is 18 7 per cent.; in South Carolina, 18 9; in
Arkansas, 20.1 ; and in Texas, 21.9 per cent.

During the year 1861 about 271,600 male whites
reached and passed the age of eighteen, and 128,600
arrived at and passed the age of forty-five, leaving a
difference of 148 900 entering upon the military age-
This latter number, when diminished by the natural
deaths (about one per cent.) of the whole military
class, and increased by the accessions from immigra
tion, would express the annual increase of the mili

of war the further losses by war ebonid be deducted.

The Oath of Allegiance.
The gallon:enema of the following correspondence
is vouched for by a gentleman of leapeetability :
Va., youMS.
Mr Dan Cousin Norepor.K, :

sere.
tal times since I had the satisfactiOnof hewing from
fou, and I would not trouble you again had not the
ortunes of war placed me in circumstances of great
distress, and may in a few weeks reduce me to entire
destitution.
General Butler's reign of terror has commenced in
earnest. He is enforcing the oath of allegiance to
the Lincoln Government with great rigor, and tne
world Of it It the promised protection is of no avail.
His Demo soldiers are sent out in every direction to
waste and destroy the country. Those who claim to
be loyal citizens are told that they should give freely
to the Government they have sworn to support, and
they receive no compensation for stolen property.
Others fare still worse. Many poor women in this
department have had everything taken from them,
the last horse, and the last mouthful of food, and
this is the Government we are called upon to swear
allegiance to, or to be driven out to starve. We can
not tell how soon OUT once pleasant and comfortable
home may be taken from us and filled with negroes
(for that is the programme now), and, like many
others of the highest standing in Norfolk, be turned
out unbent a blanket. Should this be the ease, we
must try and .aubeist across the Federal lines until
softie employment can be procured.
tbetefore write to request you to ask Mr. —if
be can pay the mortgage in your possession. If he
cannot conveniently (and I should not use to die
tress the old man) will you buy tee mortgaget Set
ting aside friendship, I ask you in the name of hu
rormity to accommodate me in this, it it should be
necessary for me to have the money by the first of
the year. I cannot make you a legal title to the
mortgage as I am now situated, but the title shall
be given, as soon as possible. You have the mort
gage in your possession, and it shall never be taken
from you.
The greatest proof Lean give you of soy houesty
is that I look upon the command " Then . .ighalfrnet
forswear thyself" as binding as the courniand
"Thou shalt not steal," and rather than lie down
upon my dying Led with a false oath upon my con
science, I will go forth at sixty years or age without
a comfort, so necessary at my time of life, to earn
my bread in the best way I can.

?Re NEW PRIM= CIRCULAR ON Tan cononssa.
The Meniteur publishes the text of the new French
circular on the Congrser, from which we quote :
Panes Dee. 8,188 t.
.S/s: The Sovereigns have replied to the Bap&
roes letter, and in their replies all have rendered
homage to that bold initiative, which, laying bare
the dangers of the situation, proposed the most PO*

As you know, the majority of the Courts adhered
without reserve to the proposition of France; others
accompanied their adhesion with certain reetrio

beforehand the programme of future deliberation&
Under these encumatances we have to express our
regret to the British Cabinet our thanks to the So
vereigns who have unconditionally accepted, and
give an explanation to those who have asked for la
formation.
The French Government did not consider itself
authorized to Confine within a programme the high
jurisdiction of Europe. It was fer from the thoughts
of the Emperor to set himself up as an arbitrates.
To enumerate the dangers which threaten the peace
of the world is superfluous; those dangers are evi.

dared impossible the first result that we had hoped
for from the appeal made by the Emperor to Europe.
There now remains the second hyeothesia—the
rotted Congress. its realization depends upon the
will of the sovereigns.
When a general Congress was in question, the Em
peror could not, without changing the part he had
traced out for Lime°lf, draw up a programme, or
concert with some of the Powers, in order to submit
afterward to the others a plan prepared beforehand,
and commence thus with a negotiation distinct from
the deliberations in which he had decided to present
himself without preconceived ideas, and free from
special ergagemente. But as this reunion cannot
now become complete, it will not have the arbitrary
authority belonging to an European Congress. We
feel, therefore, that before meeting the sovereign
should instruct their foreign ministers to agree upon
the questions to be discussed, in order that the C4n
press may have more chance of leading to a practical
result

bar of the public house kept by Robert Travers (who
is a men of color) in Castle street, _Leicester square.
Mrs. Travers Raid Mr. Travers was not at home..
Mr. Bennett - •s colleague, however, knew Travers,
and, after waiting tome time, heed his voice. Re
was soon found and eon ed with a summons. Re
was very civil, and sat I, "I think it is very hard
that I should be summoned, as I was not engaged
in any way at the tight; I only looked on." They
then went to Holywell lane, to the 01(1 King John
public bowie. kept by James Mace, who, it was
stated, bed gone into the country, 10 it was un
certain when he would return. Mier going to a
number of other places visited by fighting men,
near midnight Mr Bennett and his companion
pulled up at the Pavilion nestle, Whitechapel. By
persuasion and threats, they got to the stage by a
private entrance. In 'the boxes they found King,
Alter reading the summons to him, he wee very ex
cited, used bad language, and said they all ought to
he ashamed of themselves to summon him. Super
intendent Bennett then served the summons on
him.
In the same box was "Boss" Tyler. On Super
intendent Bennett reading the summons to him, ins
said : "My name is not Boss Tyler [Boss, it ap
peared, was only a nickname, he having only one
rya], and it is an insult to call me that name."
Suporintengent Bennett said "You are known by
that name, and I shall serve the summons upon
you." Be replied : "I shan't take it, and if you take
the liberty to touch me with it, give you some
thing." 'Mr. Bennett's colleague said : "Boss, Its
no use to talk in that manner; we know you."
And Boss, after giving a verbal opmimen of ruffian
iam, cooled down, and invited his "friends" to
crick, which they declined. Two other men then
came up. to whom Tyler said Why the ain't
you summoned l You was at the tight, as well as
me." The men said: "Nonsense, Boss; you know
we were not there."

THE POLICY OF LEASING SHALL FAUNS-COSTS
AND AVAILS OF ONE lIIINDRED ACRES.
Hon. Henry T. Blow, M. 0., from Missouri, intro.
duces to the publio the following letter from Mr.
James Yestmar,, President of the sanitary Com-
Itiliazio. of St. Louie:
The Government roust first adopt the policy of
leasing small farms, say from 00 to 200 or 300 sores to
'suit the convenience and means of persons desiring
to lease. This should be done as speedily as possi
ble, and publicly announced, as leases should be
ruses by the let of February, or very soon thereafter,
as the land should be plowed and cotton all planted
by the let of April.
Parties proposing to lease theca lends should take
with them evelytling deemed necessary, as nothing
is to be he din the country except labor. Say, for a
farm of 100 acre , dvo or six good mules will be re
quired, one good wagon, four plows, hoes, and such
other farmir g implements as. may be necessary.
They should also take with them, or arrange to have
sent, from time to time, feed for mules, nufficient to
last six or eight months until the corn and fodder,
which they would grow, would be ready for use.
Also, !MC prOViriono, gooS bacon or pork, and corn
to make meal and hominy_ Also, good material for
negro clothing, ouch as heavy brogans, linseys, jeans,
and osnabuige. Under the present system of leaning,
the wages of a negro is $7 per month, women $O,
the lessee finding them and ouch persons as are im•
Me °lately dependent on them. The ration furnished
per week, under the lemie system,-is four pounds Of
polls or bacon, or six pounds of freahor salt beef, ten
pounds of corn meat or six pounds of flour, two
pounds of beans, peas, rine or hominy, and one pint
of molasses.
I hope to see some charges in the present system,
that is, better pay for the laborer, and that the la
borer should feed and clothe himself and family.
Hand can be procured, but mostly women and
young boys. although I doubt not that large num
bers of able-bodied men will come in, so moon as
they know that permanent arrangements are made
for employing them. The wages should be increas
ed at least to the former hire of the slave when
cotton was worth but ten Cents per pound, the. la
borer to feed and clothe himself. I give herewith.
an estimate for the entire expenses of stocking
and working, 100 acres of land with product of same.
The estimates are all liberal, and based on one hand
to twelve acres of land, which is more than allowed
under the present lease system, but Nis than we.
