FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1864.
Dr. Massie on tbe United States.
Last year, among the visitors from I2ng»
land to the United States was a distinguished
gentleman, the Bev. James William Mas
sis,D.D., -who came here, in Jane, as an Am
bassador of Peace and Liberty—being, in
fact, the representative of the Christian Min-
isters ol England and Prance, who, it may
be remembered, sent an address to their bre
thren in this country, breathing benevolence,
religions feeling, and a lively faith in the
destruction of that “peculiar institution” of
Slavery, which had so long been a Teproach
against and a disgrace to a Republic based
upon the widest principle of human equality
and freedom. Dr. Mabsib has recently pub
lished a book entitled “America: The Ori
gin of Her Present Conflict; Her Prospect
for the Slave j and Her Claim for Anti-Sla
very Sympathy.” This book embodies the
results of Dr. Massie’a personal enquiry
and observation, and it recommends itself
to English readers, by their full knowledge
of its author’s high character as a clergy
man, and a pulpit orator.
Before Free Trade was granted, by the
measures of the late Sir Robert Feel, one
of its most ardent advocates was this same
Dr. Massie, and it might therefore be ex
pected that he would not look with disfavor
on the cause of the South so ihr as it is based
upon an antipathy to restrictive tanffs.
Aiter an extensive course of travel through
this country, during which he came in con
tact with persons of all classes and opinions,
Dr. Massie’s conclusion was that the cause
■f,f the North was eminently just. He gives
a carefully-prepared history of slavery in the
United States, and of the legislation upon
it from time to time, and, in every instance
verifies his statements by quoting from offi
cial documents. Thus, a body of evidence
is placed before the English public, for
WhOße information the book was prepared,
which must root out many of their favorite
prejudices. We venture to say that never
before was the history and purpose of seces
sion so fairly placed before Europe by one
of its own writers.
To Mr. Lincoln, whom he met in Wash
ington, the fullest justice is done by Dr.
Massie. The reasons for the Emancipation
Proclamations axe stated, and it is shown
that the course pursued by the President was
that which events had made not only politic,
but inevitable. From what he says of Mr.
Lincoln, we shall extract a single passage:
“ j fauna Mr. Lincoln in the midst of * revision of
the sentences ol court menials, which seemed to
him a matter of serious and couaclemious responsi
bility. He referred to the feeling which tbii pro
duced, and also to a cate which occurred immediate
lc After he entered on hie office as President, and tt
pitMtd the emotion productd on QUmind In thefut
that newu the lMt on whose jtat snia , i life de>
pended. There was here no trifling with death, or
fiidifieresce to the issues ol warfare. Sir. Lincoln
read aloud to me, he had already perused, as ho
assured me. the letter I conveyed, and entered
ireely into a review ol ils contents* snowing me that
he tally apprehended the subject, ead wsa prepared
to maintain the position assumed in hia proclama
tion of the Ist of January, 1863. I remained with
him about half-an«hour, and left him when I con
sidered my mission was discharged. There was no
witness to our interview, and i will not publish any
report of it. I will only add that I believe he is an
honest anti-slavery friend of the negro, wishes the
emancipation of every slave within the limits of the
Republic, and will faithfully stand by every word of
the proclamation, not receding ona step. I think
him a true hut unassuming Christian, in his in
tegrity resolved to prove himself an American
1 atrior, and eminently fitted for the and time
to which i>y Divine Providence he has been raised.
He may be slow in his purposes, but, when formed,
eu; e in their execution.”
On the subject of the irrepressible “Ame
rican citizens of African descent,” there is a
good deal in Dr. Massie.' s volume. The
present condition of colored people, free
and in bondage, is carefully examined in
relation to the crißis which Secession
created. His own opinion is, that the
colored race is not inferior to the white,
but only suffers from long generations of
neglect, which time and culture alone can
remove. In the short time since Dr. Mas
sib published tins Hux
ley stated, in a lecture at the Royal Col
lege of Surgeons in London, that “though
there are deviations in the make of the
negro from the European standard, it may
be questioned whether the deviations from
that standard are so great in the negro as
they are in some other raees that are never
called upon, like the poor negro, to justify
their place in nature.” Having seen many
colored soldiers, particularly at a review,
Dr. Masses formed the conviction that
they would make well-disciplined and
courageous fighting men. Experience has
since proved the truth of this conviction.
It was Dr. Massik’s ill fortune to have
been in New York when the riots of last
July broke out. He declares that this rioting
were only one of the many ajpmipts got upby
the disaffected in the North to help the South
ern cause. The President was found equal
to the crisis in New York, and Democracy
succumbed to the exhibition of the power of
Washington. The wretched pretence put
forward for the riots was the draft under
the Act passed by Congress ; but its real
aim was the immolation of the colored
people, and its success might have had the
effect of staying the war on .terms of dis
union. Dr. Massib, in a few sentences,
summed up what the rioters did. He says:
“ The offices of the Tribune were attacked,
because the editor was charged as au advo
cate of the abolition ol slavery. Hundreds
of colored people were assailed, hunted as
wild beasts, their humble dwellings gutted,
and burned to ashes. Children, old men,
feeble women, and sick and helpless ne
groes were killed, hung to lamp-posts, and
cast into the river. Soldiers and their offi
cers, policemen, and respectable private
citizens were murdered in deadly strife.
Colonel O’Brien was most brutally beaten
and guarded till he expired as the victim of
mob outrage. The Colored Orphan Asylum
was sacked and burned, and the little in
mates only escaped by the daring and skilled
management of the matron and superin
tendent, who risked their lives in conveying
them to the police-station. Streets, ave
nues, stations, arsenals, stores, and printing
offices, as also telegraphs, were ravaged,
occupied, and fired, while the mob were
aimed with all kinds of missiles and fire
arms, and acted in concert as the agents of
a conspiracy. The Ne w York Herald stpod
by, and chuckled with glee. For several
days the World and the Express found ex
cuses and palliatives for the incendiary
mob; holding up to ridicule men who, they
alleged, had to hide themselves from the in
furiated savages.”
We rejoice to see such a man as Dr. Mas
sib thus boldly coming forward to set His
countrymen right upon the great American
question. He has great influence with the
vast body of Protestant Dissenters in Eng
land, because of his high personal character,
of the pure life which illustrates his minister
rial teaching, and of the great leaming-which
he applies to the purposes of religion and
humanity. Contrast the convictions of such
a man with the weathercock principles of a
George McHenry or the interested state
ments of a James Spence, the hired agent
of the rebels. The British nation will make
this contrast —arc making it—and the result
is that changed opinion in favor of the Union
cause which is increasing ia strength every
day. "We take it for granted that. Dr. Mas-
SlE's book will be republished in this coun
try-.
Copperhead Tactics.
The war has developed one new name of
reproach, much more intense than all pre
ceding names given to that class of men
sometimes more despicable, and Eometimes
quite as dangerous, as open traitors. Tory
and Cowboy were the names of Washing,
ton’s revolution; but the term of Copper
head covers something more contemptible
than Cowboy or Tory. If there was little
apology for a traitor then, there is still less
for a traitor now, when disloyalty is
alike bad policy Bnd bad morals; when
even Judas cannot obtain his price, and
should hang himself without it. Copper
headism is still contemptible, but weak;
It is no longer a serpent but a worm, that
In proper time the people will put foot upon
and crash altogether. Its last tactics are
as shameful as ever, but imbecile as well
as wicked. The spectacle ot unacrupulous
ness and puerility presented in some of
those leading journals which appear to ad
vocate rebellion more than Union may asto
nish and shame the sense and self-respect of
every well-grown citizen. If disloyalty
must have its representation, let it be in
some more manly fashion, with arms in its
bands, and down in Lee’s army; but cow
ardice allied to mißchief, and eveiy day pub
licly exhibited, is an exposure shameful
enough to disgust the best rebel friends of
some of our New York cotemporaries.
What shall we think of a journal which
laboriously perverts a loyal military success
—which employs correspondents to outiaud
the rebel papers in praise of rebel generals—
which seems to gloat over disaster to the
nation, and readily consents to
nifest inventions of the enemy as probable
truth ? We could make a longer charge,
but merely ask—what is the use of lying so
uselessly ? Error is certainly tolerable, but
dishonesty, after this fashion, is, to say the
least, impolitic.
A late number of the Boston Courier con
tains a statement copied from a New Hamp
shire paper, which, for decency’s sake, we
shall not republish, even to contradict. It
concerned the personal virtue of some New
England ladies, who went down to teach
the blacks at Fort Royal. This story the
Courier published with an approving edito
rial introduction. We need not say that it
was an outrageous falsehood— that the edi
tor of the Courier knew it to be a falsehood.
But the name usually given to the man who
makes or repeats a statement so gross is
something worse than that of coward.
We warn such journals, whose examples
we have set forth, that such tactics are the
worst that can be employed, even for rebel
lion’s sake. It is wretched policy to begin
the new peace campaign by disparaging Ge
neral Grant, quoting General McClellan’s
report, defeating Sherman to order, and
making war upon women—a kind of Chi
nese valor only worthy to be opposed by
brooms.
Tile Mammoth City Railroad.
On Tuesday afternoon was introduced in
to the House of Representatives, at Harris
burg, a bill to incorporate a joint-stock com
pany for the construction of what is called
“The Union Railroad of Philadelphia,”
otherwise called the Seventh and Ninth
street line. Three previous bills, for making
railroads through these streets, had been in
troduced some time ago. This one, how
ever, is to beat them all, for it seeks power
to nhvears through over fifty streets, most
of which have hitherto been kept intact.
On Wednesday, the Railroad Committee of
the House, to whom the scheme had been
ferred, reported in its favor. We should
like to have the names of this committee,
and of its clerk. Can any city members be

LETTER FROM "OCCASIONAL.* 5
Washington, March 24, 1864.
Thousands of people in the revolted i- tates
have availed themselves of the benefits of
the amnesty proclamation, issued on the Bth
of December last by President Lincoln, and
many more thousands only hesitate about
following the example by the apprehension
that if the Federal armies are withdrawn
from the posts they now occupy, or are
driven back, the first to suffer would be those
who took the oath required as a condition
precedent in that great act of indulgence and
pardon. It must not be charged, therefore,
that every one who declines to come under
the terms of the amnesty is impenitent or
incorrigible. Should Gen. Grant open up a
tide of victory for our arms in this quarter, so
that it may flow irresistibly southward, un
til it joins with the triumphant columns
under Thomas and Sherman, we shall then
better realize the incalculable value of this
profler of forgiveness by our Chief Magis
trate, And I think, from all I see and hear,
that the hour is rapidly approaching when
we may look for this military fulfilment of
an earnest patriotic anticipation. It is to
be regretted that in some cases the condi
tions and pledges of the Amnesty Procla
mation have been misunderstood and per
verted, to cover some of the very worst
acts of cruelty and rebellion. Of this cha
racter was tie recent opinion of Judge
Hofiman, one of the United States Dis
trict Judges for the State of California,
who decided in favor of releasing a
pirate named Greathouse, after he had
been duly convicted of the most de
liberate attempt to carry out of the port
of San Francisco a pirate or corsair in
the pay and interest of the rebellion, and
bound upon a mission of devastation of our
commerce. It is not criminals like these,
convicted and blood-thirsty as they are, that
can be permitted to take an oath which
they laugh at, and escape the penalties of
their monstrous crimes. Greathouse was
not only convicted, but had in fact been
sentenced to a long imprisonment, and to
pay a fine of ten thousand dollars.
And it was just before tbe execution
of this sentence that Judge Hofiman,
in a long opinion, allowed the am
nesty act to he pleaded in his hehalf.
Doubtless Greathouse is by this time fitting
out another ship to prey upon our com
merce ! Ido not wonder that this case has
created intense feeling in California. That
is one of the regions to which the traitors
have looked, and still look, with “hungry
eyes.” California was a growth of the
Mexican war; and such was the prescience
of the slave tyrants, headed by Calhoun,
that they believed it essential, fourteen years
ago, to their then-hatching and since-de
veloped rebellion, to secure it to the South.
You cannot forget how they fought against
the admission of California intd the Union
as a free Commonwealth; how they
demanded a division, by which they
were to have half, and the free senti
ment the other half. And how, failing in
this urgent demand, they threatened to
break the bonds, and “secede.” All this
is veritable history. From that day down
to the election to the Senate of Broderick,
and his sad and dreadful death, the war
between liberty and tyranny has been pro
gressing in the Golden State. When Mr.
Gwin was the leader of slavery, and for a
number of years, aided by the money of
the bankers, and the patronage of two Fede
ral Administrations, with Davis in one
Cabinet, and Cobb and Floyff in another,
he held the State to what was then
called the “Democracy,” and was all
the interval preparing it for the events
which, so well known to his coad
jutors and masters, suddenly burst upon
an unsuspecting people. And this great in
trigue would have prevailed, and the whole
of our Pacific possessions been lost and en
dangered, but fortlie athletic free population,
under the leadership of Broderick and his
associates who occupied the side of stern
opposition to Gwin and his gang, and who,
through years of turbulence and riot and
bloodshed, contested for every inch of
ground. The Chivalry fled almost in a body
from the Pacific border when they found they
had lost their foothold. Gwin, Calhoun, Ben
ham, Terry (the murderer of Broderick),
Herbert (who assassinated the Irish waiter
at Willard's Hotel, eight years ago,) and
others, are now in foreign lands, in the re
bellion, or dead. But some of the seeds
were left when they left, and Greathouse,
the released pirate, is one of them. The
opinion of Judge Hofiman, releasing this
man, occasions much discussion, and some
acrimony, but thus far I have met no loyal
man who does not say that he misconstrued
the Amnesty Proclamation when he allowed
a convicted and sentenced traitor to go free
of his just deserts under the terms of that
great State paper. Occasional.

All the corps have equally proved their valor on
many fields, and all have equal claims to the confi

baiked to operate on land against Fort De Bussey. It
was understood that General Dick Taylor was en
camped at andln the immediate vioinity of the latter
fort, with 11,(100 men.
As soon as Taylor heard of Gen. Smith's landing
he attempted to reaoh his rear and made an attack.
Thqsklrmlshlng commenced on Smith’s left lank
before he was aware of the exact whereabouts or
the enemy. Being informed of Taylor’s design, he
exclaimed t » Now for a race between the rebels and
the United States to the fort.” By a quick move
ment Gen. Smith, with hla army, succeeded in reach
ing Fort De Bussey three hours before Taylor came
up. •
A charge was made and some fighting oaourred,

ADDITIONAL DETAILS OF THE BATTLE IN
March 16, via Cairo, Much 34.—This fort was
captured to-day, by the United States forces under
General A. J. Smith. The expedition left Vleka.
burg on the 10th, and landed at Summeraport, La.,
on the 13 th. Marohed to Bayou Glace, where Gen.
Seurrie’s rebel brigade had been encamped, but
which fled on the approach of our transports, leav
ing considerable camp equipage and commissary
stores. General Smith presced forward to Yellow
Bayou, where strong fortifications had been erected
by the rebels, who again fled as we came up. They
were preeeed, and eome skirmishing oceurred, re
sulting in thcoapture of seveial prisoner,, and a small
wagon-train. At daylight yesterday the entire com
mand started for Fort De Bussey, 38 miles distant, and
at 4 o’clock F. M. the 3d and 9:n Indiana Batteries
opened on the fort, which replied vigorously with
three of its heaviest guns. The cannonade was
continued an hour, when General Smith ordered
the Ist and 3d Illinois, of the 16th Corps, under Ge
neral Morver, to charge the enemy’s rifle-pits, and
storm the fort. The 58th, 119th, and 89th Indiana,
and 24th Missouri regiments, obarged over deep
dltohe* and their abattls, amid a galling fire, and
within twenty minutes after the order was Issued,
a eolor-sergeant of the sBth Illinois planted the
American flag upon the enemy’s works. The vic
tory was complete, and reaulted in the capture of
3SS prisoners, including twenty-four commissioned
officers, two nine inch DAhlgrens, two four -
pounders, four thirty-two pounders, two six
pounders, a lot of small arms, two thousand
bbls. of fine powder, an immense quantity of as
sorted ammunition, and $17,000 worth Of commil
sary stores.
Fort De Bussey is a moat formidable work, of
quadrangular shape, and bastiona and bomb-proofs
covered with railroad iron ; a powerful water-bat
tery connects with the fort, the casemates of which
aie capable ot resisting shot and shell of the heaviest
calibre. The position of the guns was capital for.
rapid and effective fire on all boats attempting to
pasa up or down the river. About 800 negroes were
employed for a year in constructing the earthworks.
General smith will lupirintend the thorough de»
traction of the fortification* to-morrow. It will take
three thouiand men two or three day* to deitroy the
work*. Glorious new* may be expected from Gen
eral* Bank* and Smith within two week*. Their

belonging to the schooner Morning liight, two rifled
gun* from the Harriet Lane, captured last apring
off Sabine Fa**, and one heavy gun from the India
noia, rank in the Mississippi last year by the rebel
ram Webb. The rebel* bout that their iron-plated
ram Miuouri, ho win this river, can aink any gunboat
in pur navy. The Webb and Mary Jane are also
considered impregnable to any of our flotilla. Ad
miral Porter ha* been busily engaged for the past
three day* in removing obstruction* In the Bed riv

nel. Tranaportc are now going up the river without
interruption.

SEBATR
Hr. LANS, of Indiana, fronrthe Military Committee,
reported favorably on the hill to increase the rank, pay,
and emoluments of the Provost Marshal General. It
proposes to give that officer the rank and emolument of
a brigadier general.
Mr. MOEGAN presented a memorial of the proprietors
s , un - f Bkl ?* wdssioe of their tax on
the sGth of March, in order that the entire receipts of that
day may go to the Sanitary Fair.
Military Interference In Elections.
The bill to prevent military interference In elections
esme up as unfinished business.
Mr. HOWARD concluded his speech commescod. yes
terday. He reviewed at great length the question of
neutrality in Kentucky at the eommencement of the
present struggle, and argued that bat for the proper in
terference of the military, that Ftata would, in all pro
bability, have been this day in rebellion. He defended
the orde-b of General Burnside in reference to elections,
as being similar to those issued by General McClellan
.in Eaty land, in 1861. He denied that the subordinates
of General Burr site had departed from their instruc
tions. and claimed that every act of theirs was per
formed for the piorectlon of loyal voters and the preser
vation of the State to the Union. He eontended that
those viho opposed a vigorous prosecution of tbe vrar
here or elsew here should be placed on tbe same footing
with traitors In arms
Mr. said that Governor Bradford, of Mary
land, was elected under the order of General McClellan
for the protection of the bal;ot-box At that election
tbe honorable Senator from Maryland vras chosen Stats
f enator. The loyal people or that State, and the coun
try generally, were satisfied at that time ofthe necessity
of just such military interference as was used to prevent
traitors from voting. Sven now. in Maryland, there was
no law to prevent traitors from voting, and it was proper
that the military power should preserve the parity and
freedom of the box to loyal men. Mr Howard
proceeded to show that there had been bat few abases of
military power, either in Maryland or Delaware, and
that wlatn wrongs had been perpetrated the grievances
were promptly redressed.
Mr. fcAULSbUEY, of Delaware, congratulated his
friend from Ken ucky (Mr. Powell) upon the partial suc
cess of hi® efforts to insulate inquiries into some of the
enormities practiced upon the rfohta of the States. The
Senator from MicMi&n denied the necessity of mch a bill
as ibis now, for the reason that i; has never been
found to be necessary in the past history of the country
He would call attention to the fa«t that, during
the war of 1812. political giant* shaped and con
trolled the de»tiny of the country, and guided the
ship of State through the storm. We had not then
poimctl Pigmies, perched upon Alps, bat men who
.formed aGoiratitußmi as a safeguard against the vio
lence of which we now complain While the fathers of
that instrument, lived no man dared to say that any
military officer had a right to Invade a State and vio
late the gnsrantees of the Constitution. The reason
tuch provisions ae are contained in the bill were not
heretofore demanded, Is that a different class of men
administered itbe affairs of Government -men tho
roughly and 'deeply read in the history of constitu
tional liberty, and cherishing ita principles and tbe
oath they took tomaintain it. He suppos'd his advocacy
of this bill, despite what the Senator from Michigan
had said upon the exprtss ground ttat the rights of the
people had been invaded and overturned. He did not
hold these military gentlemen responsible, who pre
ferred to lord it over the peaceful citizens of loyal States
instead of iceking an honorable f. e on the field. He held
their mailer at tbe other end of tbe avenue, the! Presi
dent. as the responsible party for these outrages, be
cause he rad at all times tbe right to interfere i • behalf
of the citizen for the protection o' his constitutional
riihts. Neither did he bold the soldiers who enforced
these orders responsible, though he doubted not that
manv a tall ant soli forfeit humiliated at the order to
interfere with a peaceful citizen in the exercise of his
clear constntional right to appear at the polls and cast
his vote for the candidate of his choice
Mr. BAULSBURY then proceeded to comment on the
plea mg* d in favor of these arbitrary military mea
sures, necessity. When the passions of the maddened
hour are ffoee, he would tell the Senator and those
alike deluded with him, the time would come in the
providence of God, when the sons of the United States
of America will rise np and vindicate the ancient birth
right of literty bequeathe! them by their fathers, and
spurn and ssorn these modern ideas of liberty. Without
concluding. Mr Saulsbury gave way.
Mr. DOOLITTLIS presented a joint resolution of the
Slate of wlfccoj »iu- in relation to railroads 'running
from fclonx City to Hudson, on St. Croix Lake, and ask
ing Congrfssional aid therefor. Referred to the Com
mittee on Pacific Railroad.
The Senate then adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
On motion of Mr. BLAlfil, of Maine, the Committee
on the Judiciary were instructed to inquire into the ex
pediency of proposing an amendment to Ihe Constitu
tion, by stx iking out the article which forbids the laying
of a tax xzpon article* exported from any S ate.
Hr. BICB, of Massachusetts. reported back from tbe
Committee on Naval Affairs a bill providing for the
education of naval cos .tractors and engineers in the
Naval Academy. It wee ordered to be printed and re
committed.
The Air-Line Railroad
The House then resumed the consideration of the bill
declaring the Delaware Bar and Baritan Railroad to he
a military and post road.
Ur. BhOOMALL. of Pennsylvania, esid that if this
mad was required for military purposes, it could under
the act of 1862 he so taken by the President, and if for
postal purposes it could be so appropriated, by the aet of
1838. without nuttier legislation, Congress has no right
and power to make two lines if a triangle taken to
gether shorter than the third,, nor to make a straight
lire lake Caps May in Its course. Nor has Congress
lbe right to make itself more ridiculous than hereto
fore. It was beneath the dignity of ICongress to inter
fere in the rquabbles of two railroad companies. If
we are to have an air-line road for our own particular
tut*, let ns have it amenable to our own laws, and not
mix ourselves up with New Jersey jurisdiction. When
he looked at that beautiful Btate he was. orry she was
so near out of the Union, but he would not take put
in a petty quarrel merely because she does not vote
light.-
Ur. GARFIBLD. of Ohio, said the Imputation of mo
tives for the sdYocftcy of this measure was unworthy of
this body and or wise legislators. It was a fact that
means of communication between the commercial and
political XL&tropoJle were extremely deficient. If the
Government has a right to feed itself and its srmies.it
hssarightto nee the means to accomplish that pur
pore. Small tal k about New Jersey and Pennsylvania
politic*, or abotot » ir line* or crossed lines will not meet
the ilßftnticfict tbit we must feed our armlet and use
the means ior incieased facilities between tbis metropo
yg and the outside world. The morning hour expired
before Mr. Garfield conoluded his speech. The subject
will not probably come up again before Thursday next.
, Mr. FENTON, of New Fork, from the committee of
qcsierebce < n the dUagreeing'ameudments to the Mili
tary Academy bill,made a report th*r«on. H* explained
tke Senate proposition anthoriatng the President to ap
point cadets from districts not now represented in Cou
pes;. This the Home struck out, and substituted for It
* provision that for one year from the first day of July
next an additional cadet shall be appointed for each die*
Slot as tow provided bylaw. There were now about
go hundred and nicety cadets in the Military Academy,
and if that amendment should prevail, instead of the
proPotltloß of/fbe Bessie, It would authorize an addition
of about one hundred end ninety, making the whole
number nearly five hand red; but as tbere are not ac
commodations for more than three hundred and ninety
or fonrbuidred cadets, tbe House amendment was ren
dered Inadmissible, so It was agreed by the committee of
conference io strike out the amendment of the two
Nopi es, and leave the law as It now stood, without any
additlcnal cadets.
The report of the committee was concurred In,
The National Banlt Law.
■ The House resolved itself into Committee of the Whole
on tbe State of the Union on tbe bill amendatory of the
National Bank law.
Mr. BBOOKB, of New York, said Mr. Hooper had
heretofore written a hook on finance different altogether
from the light which he had endeavored to shea aeon
the subject In his speech of yesterday. The gentleman
was once a hard money man of the hardest kind In
Boston, but now be advocated paper money as a things
perse not only as desirable, but as a necessity The
gentleman **la the State banks -had outlived their use
fulness, and. therefore, they must give way to banks
created by authority of the General Government. The
militia have already been transferred from the States to
tbe General Government, and State institutions of ail
binds. If not abolished* are being abolished. He (Mr.
Brook;) expected to see discussed here the question of
otrset railroad b in Chicago, or Lexington, or Milwaukee,
and up siid down Broadway, with an interested lobby
crowding theiebails to press the passage of auoh mea
sures. Ho repeated, if tbe State power has not gone,
li is going. The most prominent Federalists ana the
framer* of the Constitution, never contemplated ►ueb a
con*ilidation < t power as It was proposed to exercise.
Mr. EBOOKS replied at length to Hr. Hooper's posi
tions. and discussed the financial condition of the conn
try, showirg the evil effects of inflation of currency,
and. maintftlping that, contrary to the oplnlm of that
Kent'.tman. tbe war could hayf been proaecn<ed on a
hard money bati*. without suspension of specie pay
ments. The ay*t*m of that gentleman was rounded on
paper entirely. Tbe New York State banks would have
redeemed their bills.in coin If Congress bad not made
iega)-ter <ltrs equivalent on their face to gold. In ob
jecting tocertain feature* of tie bill, he said it contem
l> l at*d overthrowing the sub treasury system, and was
Jet dii g to corruption
Mr KEBNAb. of New York, *aid this bill gives to tbe
Federal Government a power far greater than has ever
been wielded by any party or set of men in this country.
While it professed io put ail men»u au equality as to
banking, Here was a clause which really gave the Comp
uc)J*r of the Currency power to withhold such privi
leges Be indicated other objections which he desired
;hrnld >o remedied. H« desired to offer an amendment
lbe b;nk i>-sa©B to State and municipal tax
ailunon real atd personal estate the same as persons
a>e by State law This would prevent the escape from
taxation by investment in United States bonis.
Mr. PRUT N, of New York, felt that this system was
tie greatest blow yet inflicted on the States, and was a
great sir do towards despotic power which, if the pro
t+nt Adnii&l"irauon be continued, would spread in a few

and height eoroe* the State, anything In the law.
of tbe State to the contrary notwithstanding. The
reaolutlon, were referred to a committee of both
Eou.ee, who made a unanimous report protecting
against the passage of the bill becau.e it propoeed
to divot the State of its local and territorial juris
diction within it. own limit., and the unprecedented
exercUe of a power never before claimed by
the United State.; to empower theae .corporation.
to estead branch road* anywhere within the
State, in defiance of the right* of the State; to
empower corporation, created by the State to do
what the State never gave them authority to do;
to violate the law. of New Jereey with impunity,
and to defy the proceee of her oourtt, became under
epeolal legislation, it would be a wanton insult to the
dignity or the State, and a violation of her oontraots,
which the courts have pronounoed to be binding.
A copy of the resolutions are directed to be forward
ed to the members ol Congress and Senator* from
New Jersey, and they are requested to use all Cjrer
tions in their power to prevent the passage of a bill
injurious to the rlghta of the State, and offensive to
her citizen*.
Mr, Buckley, tbe Republican Senator from Pav

cotah*
1 transmit herewith some extracts from letters
taken from prisoners on the Don, which go to show
the difficulties experienced in attempting to violate
the blockade of WiiAingUm—one letter stating that
“not one versel out of ten gets in.” Another ex
pects “no more letters—so many blockaders about."
These evidences from such sources of the efficiency
of tyie blockade are very gratifying. The original
letteis weie sent to the district Judge in Boston.

XXTBEOEFTSD LETTERS.
A letter dated Fayetteville, N. 0., January 16 Ih,
1864, signed William Phiicox, 2d, and addressed to
hia sister, Miss Mironda Phiicox, Small Arms De
pot, Tower, London, England, says:
"What will you say whenltcll you that twioe the
letteis were brought within thirty miles of Fort
Fisher, and the ship was chased and put back to
Bermuda? The third attempt she made she was
taken. Her name, Robert £• Lee. My friend and
the letters went to the Tombs—that' is, the New
York Newgate j he was set free, and went bmok to
Bermuda, and got through in the Presto."
Another letter from the same person, and ad
dressed to Mrs. Wm. Philoox, London Tower, thus
describes the oapture of another prize:
11 1 thought ot what a pleasant time I would have
reading your letters, when, the very day I was to
have received tnem, news oame that the ship was
taken. It did give me a shock. It appears the
ship had been chased by three infernal Yankee
blockaders, and the oaptain, seeing no chance of
escape, ran her aground near Wilmington, thinking
that the guns from our forts would be able to protect
them. The distance was too great, and the Yankees
ran in after them and tugged the ship out to sea
again, and made a good prize of her. She hod a
splendid cargo aboard. Name of ship, Lady Davis,
late Cornubia. The port of Wilmington is too
closely watched. Not one vessel out of ten gets in
that runs the blockade. (Alluding to a Mr. Wat
son) s I don’t think he will stay in this country, for
it seems a certainty that the Confederates are going
to be whipped."
A letter dated at Fayetteville, N. O m February 13,
1864, signed John A. Ward, and addressed to“ Wm.
A. Ward, No. 6, Cambridge Road, Mile Bad, Lon
don," gives this account:
“Butter $5 a pound } flour $l6O a barrel. What
would you say to the hind quarters of a bullfrog 1
Don’t your mouth water for corn-bread and rye
coffee, without any sugar! Fancy me a fine looking
fellow—looking like an Egyptian mummy—who has
been roasted, melted, and dried up, till I feel I had
better .open a boot and shoe shop, for my skin will
make first rate leather.
“ I shall not expect any more letters from home*
I shall not get them, as there are so many block
aders about."

Democratic Convention Evening!
Sbssion,—On reassembling it wss announced that
the Committee on Resolution, were not yet ready
to report; that. Indeed, they Were holding a heated
let.lon at the Merchants’ Hotel; and a. there were
many conflicting views upon national policy
broached by various members, it was not lilcely that
spy definite result would be arrived at for several
hours.
Accordingly, it was agreed that the Convention
should remain in session and listen to speeohes from
an Indefinite number of delegates. ■
Various motions to adjourn'were made and lost.
A delegate offered a resolution thattbe Demooratls
party unite with the Conservative Union party In
presenting tbe name of General McClellan for the
Presidency. This was referred to the Committee on
Resolutions, amid much oheerlng.
Mr. Oarrigan offered a resolution that the delega*
Hon to the National Convention be instruotedto
vote as a unit on aU questions coming before the
National convention. This was likewise referred.
(Speeches were now made to fill up time until the
Committee on Resolutions should return, by Wm.
V’ o S*!6» n » nd William
Pfciiadelphis, Jet. K. Kerr of Venango,
Judge McOsimont, and others. Each epeech was a
reflection of the other, and the rebellion was occa
sionally referred to, but only in the softest and most
sympathetic tones. A full vial of wrath, however,
was poured unmercifully upon the Administration,
which was greeted with wild applause from the
Convention. Mr. Witte was somewhat doleful, es
he reviewed the prospeot of suooess In the coming
Presidential campaign. He thought there was little
ohanceof success, unless tbe Democracy should ha
lt Ir themselves as they had never done in their nre
vious history. *
At eleven o’clock, the committee on resolutions
returned, and through their chairman, 3. Glancv
Jones, submitted a report. Mr. Jones said that the
committee bad lor four hours, and without stopping
to take refreabment, been constantly and warmly
er gaged in drawing up suitable resolutions. Many
were presented In committee, and rejeeted; eertaln
views of national policy were ab.y aet forth, but it
teas thought uoadvisabla to Incorporate them iuto
resolutions, lest they might injure the DemoersUc
party before the country, and ereate dia.ensloni
within its own sphere. The following were unani
mously agreed upon, and being submitted to tbe
Convention were confirmed:

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
the money market.
Philadelphia, March 24,1854.
Gold was steady and active to-day at 166@166>£- The
money market ie hardening up slightly, owing to the
demand for speculative purposes. Bates are wi hout
change. Governments are very firmly held at yester
day’s figures.
The stock market opened with great excitement in oil
at d coal stocks, and almost everything advanced, with
a list cf sales that surpasses any previous day. The
lost in lerest in the old style of railroad and canal fancies
la feeing rapidly replaced fey low*priced
very productive coals and oils. Hence the new impetus
at the Stock Board. Parties will readily transfer their
allegiance from Susquehanna Cenallat $29 per share,
{which cannot pay any dividend for some years,) to an
oil company costing $3 or $4 per share, which will yield
an in come of two and three per cent, per month on a ten
dollar share. McClintock Oil opened at 9. and sold ra
pidly and largely up to ViH closing bid, an ad*
vance of five dollars over last evening's figures. Maple
Shade sold at 20. same hid for more. Mineral was dull
at 7H; 17 was bid for Irwin; for FSrry at the closet
Venango sold at 3; Oil Creek at IS?*'; Pulton sold up to

The stock market is feverish. Governments are firm

Stale stocks are steady, bank shares neglected, rail
