It Vrtss. TUESDAY, MAY 3, 1864 The Nature and the Purpose of Retalla- In a day or two Senators WADE and "Goocn will laY before Congress positive evidence of the murder, burning, cruci fixion, and burial alive of our s oldiers at Fort' Pillow. Formally in posges:,:ion: of the facts, the Government will then be justified in decreeing retaliation. It is also reported that Gen. GRIEIZSON lets captured about two hundred of FORREST'S men, and it is pro posed that lie shall hang them upon the near est tree=, and thus "relieve the Government from great embarrassment, get a valuable and striking example, and give satisfaction to the _Northern public." To this we de cidedly object. Retaliation to be effective must not be the work of one man, but of the nation ; it should have, not the color of reieno-e, but of vengeance; it shOuld not Inure the impulse of passion, but the dig- . idly of a solemn purpose. Nor do we Wish the Government to be relieved from embarrassment, if the performance of duty, however stern it may be, is indeed embarrassing. If retaliation is just, let the Government have the honor , of loin= justice; if it is not right, General GRIERSON cannot satisfy us by a wrong. We believe that it is altogether, right, and that the dignity of the Government de : - wands that it alone should deal with a emestion in which civilization and Chris tianity are so deeply involved. The re:- sponsibility of the decision the Govern ment cannot transfer; it is bound by honor and duty to declare; as it only can, the Un changeable resolution of the people. What is it that we mean by retaliation ?, A life for a life ? Much more than this. The title of FottuEsr, the slave-trader, and his men, the outcasts, is little to the coun-, try. It is comparatively unimportant whether they are slain or live to go through the world with the hrand of CAIN .upon their brows. - Human beings so de graded and bestialized are i1.11110E4 too low for our anger .to reach, and if We kill them it should be as men hill :anything that is unfit to live. Our indignation is turned against the power that armed these murderers, and justifies their barbarity— the rulers of the rebellion who have embo died massacre in their code of war: Through FORREST the blow is to be dealt, but at Richmond it is aiined. By retalia- -tion we do not intend merely the execu tion of three hundred -and sixty men to tivenge the murder of the same number of our own soldiers ; it is a punish- Meld meant to stop the commission of a horrible crime ; a protest written in blood against the manner in which the re bellion IVIISCS war ; we employ it as the only means to protect our captured soldiers from future slaughter. Retaliation is, there fore, Humanity. By it we hope not to in crease the agonies and cruelties of the war. but to force the enemy to content him self with the carnage of battle, and un avoidable bloodshed. In this we shall fail, if we <leave retaliation to subordi nate officers, or neglect to announce it as a national necessity. There should be no - action on our side to EIN7e excuse to that of the rebels, and instead of trusting that Ge neral GRIEEZON will hang the miscreants he has caught, we earnestly•hope that lie will not permit one .hair of their heads to be touched, but will deliver them unharmed as criminals into the hands of the Govern ment. Changes in the British:Ministry. There have been additional changes in the British Ministry, arising out of the re tirement of the Duke of Newcastle from the Colonial Secretaryship, the transfer of Nr. EDWARD CARDWELL to that office, the appointment of the Earl of Clarendon to the Chancellorship of the Duchy of Lan cashire, and Mr. JAMES STANsFELD7sresig nation of the office of Junior Lord of the Admiralty. Mr. WILLIAM EDWARD BAXTER, who has been M. P. for the boroual of Montrose since 1855, was offered the place vacated by Mr. STA:NSFELD, but has declined it on the plea of ill health. This is to be re gretted by those who wish well to the Palmerston Administration, for Mr.- BAX -TER is an able man, with liberal principles. Be is only thirty-nine years old, has re ceived a University education, is partner in a great commercial firm at Dundee, has Nrritteu several books of travel (including " America and the Americans "), and is decidedly friendly to the stability of the American Union. On his refusal, Lord PALatEnsroic applied to Mr. ITUGIT Cum- TANG EARDLEY CRILDERS, who has been N. P. for the borough of Pontefract Ellice February, 1860. He is only thirty seven years old ; is connected with the Wellesley family through his mother ; was a member of the Government of Victoria (Australia) from 1851 to 1857 ; held a seat in the first Cabinet, as a*Commissioner -of Trade and Cugtoms ; sat for Portland in the first Legislative Assembly there, 1856-7; bas been High Sheriff of - Yorkshire, which shows him to be a man of fortune, and is a decided Liberal, with strong proclivities - towards the cause of freedom and good go- Termnent in the United States. The first work performed by Lord CLA- ItEmmx, as Cabihet Minister, was to pro ceed to Paris with a special commission from Lord PALMERSTON to the Emperor of the French, the purport of which was to reunite, yet closer than before, the enieilie cordiale which Lord RessEm. nearly broke up, last November, by his refusal—more Curt than courteous—to assent to the pro posed European Congress. It is said that the Emperor has condescended to accept PALMERSTON'S explanations, and again to receive England into favor, and that Rus sia will also join England and France—the design being to place a strong antagonism to the onslaught of Germany upon Denmark. - The leading European Powers, including the Federal Diet of Germany, have agreed, to send representatives to the Conference at London, on Danish matters. The pre liminary meeting was to have been held, at Lord PALlcEasrort's office, on the 20th of April, and England will be represented by :Lord RUSSELL, who is, and by Lord CLA IM/11)EN, who was, Foreign Minister. There has been another defeat (about the fifth, this Session,) of the Palmerston Go vernment, in the House of Commons. Properly speaking, it is rather the defeat •a. man than of a ministry, but may eventuate in a damage to the Go.. cernMent. Dir_ ROBERT LOWE, a politi cal adventurer, who served his apprentice- Ship to politics in Austridia, returned to "Bngland in 1850, became a leading con tributor to The Times, got into Parliament in the summer of 1852, and in Decem ber of that year, on the defeat of the Derby-Disraeli Government, was appointed joint Secretary to the Board of Control, after that Vice President of the Board of Trade, Etud. Paymaster of the Forces, and has been President of the Board of Health, and Vice President of the Education Board of the Privy Council, the salary of which is *lO,OOO a year. Partly bccallSe of his do mineering manner, partly because or his connection with the formidable Times, and partly because his educational views tend to lower the status and diminish the sala ries of school teachers, Mr. Lowe has long been disliked in the House of Com mons. The other da,y, on the motion of Lord ROBERT CECIL (one of DISRAELI'S aids-de-camp), a motion was carried, by a majority of eight, that Mr. LOWE had mu tilated, garbled, and sometimes suppressed the reports of the Education Inspectors. This vote of censure has caused Mr. LOWE to tender his resignation to Lord PALMER wax. If accepted, a series of bitter and destructive attacks upon Mr. LOWE'S late colleagues in the Government may be 'looked for in The Times. Many thoughtful Friends of Lord F!ALX - EntSTON will scarcely regret, however, the dissolution of his eon pection, through Mr. LOWE, with the lead and most unprincipled ling, most powerful, journal in Europe. Such a separation, too, -Would niche Mr. COBDEN and Mr. BRIO= more decidedly friendly to Lord PALMER - sToN than they have lately been—a sup port which would materially strengthen him in the House of Commons, and in pub lic. opinion beyond its walls. The United States Christian Commission. The meeting on behalf of this noble as sociation, in the Church of the Epiphany, this evening, will be one of more than ordi nary importance. It is the first of a series of meetings to be held throughout the country, to raise by subscription half a mil lion of dollars for carrying on the work of the Commission. The treasury of the Commission is now%mpty, while, in addi tion to the demand which may come upon it any day for a large supply of battle-field delegates and stores, there is an urgent call from every part of our army for such read ing matter as the Commission supplies, anti for clergymen to preach the gospel. Much depends upon the meeting this evening. Philadelphia is the headquarters of the Christian Commission ; its president is one of our eminent and successful merchants, and it is important- that an amount should be subscribed here sufficiently large to set a good example to other cities. We deem it superfluous to speak now of the character or the objects of the Chris tian Commission. In a recent letter from the Secretary of War that officer says "It is not only a pleasure, but I regard it as an official duty, to commend the Christian Commission to. public confidence and re spect." The array of speakers announced for the meeting, aside from any other conSidera tioO, Should draw a great audience. The Rt. Rey. CrtArthEs P. MCILVAINE, Bishop. Of Ohio, ipresides. Rev. Dr. KIRK, of Boston ; Rev. JOSEPH T. DURYEA, of New York ; BishOp Stmrsolc, and Rev. J. WitEAzo:s - SMITH, D. D., of our own city, together With the distinguished Boston mer chant, E. S. TonEr, Esq., are gentlemen familiar with the work of the Commission, having seen for themselves its operations On the field. We presume any one of them would interest an audience for the entire evening, but hope those who are fortunate enough to get inside the church mill remember the main object of the meet ing. LETTER FROM "OCCASIONAL." WAS - IDS:GTO - ST, May 2, 1864 - That which everybody thinks and talks about is the military situation in Eastern Virginia. It is the one absorbing topic. The movements of General Grant, rapid and vast as they are, are also mysterious. Loyal men cease to inquire whet they im port, or exactly where the evtliet will open. And this because they are unani mous in their confidenee in Grant. I may say, too: , that the Government is satisficd with the new Lieutenant General, and that the fullest faith is repo, , ed in, as the largest discretion i..neeorded to, him: This, also, is the senti ment of congress, and_ especially of the War Committees. In preparing for a stntggle upon Which -such incalculable issues depend, the controlling and directing intellect ,- must feel that he has a force around him instinct with high resolve and attached to , his person ; and, furthermore, that hehas a Government and a people at his back that will be to him as a wall of ada mant; never shaking or yielding in the hour of disaster. It is natural to every period of suspense that men should hunger for early action ; but patience is just now, more than ever, one of the royal virtues. As I see the regiments of cavalry passing along the avenues, and hear the sharp clink of the horses' iron feet and the thrilling chorus of ringing sabres, and as the raffling roar of passing battery after battery sounds like the deep bass in a mighty military orches tra, whose music is not that of the instru ments' of harmony, but that made by the - engines of war—as I behold and hear these things, I become patient, and gladly content to wait. Of one thing I may write freely., The rebels who witness or know of these manifestations do not conceal their apprehensions. This fact will impire them to fight with intense bit terness ; but such a spirit can only extend to the political leaders and the military chiefs. For, however violently a people may act- under evil and reckless guides, they _cannot maintain hate of their own kindred, and, in fact; of their own Govern ment, only to save these same guides ; and the more so, in full view alike of the published standing offer of pardon to them by President Lincoln, and the exhaustless resources and sublime energy of the loyal States, as again dis played -in the preparations for the coming battle. It cannot be many clays, however, before the conflict is inaugurated, and then all speculations and theories will be tested by the facts. OCCASIONAL.

Porter, eldest son of gallant old Commodore David Porter, and senior brother of Admiral W. D. Porter—one of a distinguished fami ly of naval heroes—died on Sunday, in New York, at St. Luke's hospital, of disease of the heart, ag gravated by a severe scalding received 'on board the famous Essex ship, some two years ago,. and the weakening of his system under four attacks of yellow fever, while in service .lering, the war. The Com modore had suffered much for his country. Commodore Porter was a Louisianian by birth. Ile entered the navy in 13' as a boy on board the 'United States ship Franklin, under command of Commodore Stewart, and received an excellent na val education under Commodores Hull, Chauncey, Patterson, and Rodgers. He projected and was the founder of the present lighthouse system ; was through the whole Mexican war, where he did noble service; in 1855 was placed on a retired list by a secret Navy Board ; four years after he was re stored to his rank as commander by President Bu chanan ; was then appointed to the command of the "United states ship St. Marys, and did important service on the Pacific coast. On the outbreak of the rebellion he was ordered home from the Pacific ; and though he had property in Virginia, and many of his family were in the rebel cause, he proved faithful to the Government, tendered his aid in putting down the rebellion, and was assigned to a, boat which was built chiefly under his superintendence. He chris tened it after his father's ship, the Essex. At the battle of Port Henry, he ran up within 150 yards of the fort, and fought with courage and effect until scalded by the steam issuing from the boiler, the thick plates of which had been penetrated by a ball. He said he went into the fight with high colors, and, though disabled, the stars and stripes still waved as he floated back. lie also commanded the Essex at the attack on Fort Donelson, and fought his way in the same boat past all the batteries from Cairo to New Orleans. He destroyed the ram Arkansas in 1862, above Baton Rouge. After this event he was promoted from captain to commodore—being the third instance in our naval history in which pro Motion from commander to commodore has taken place. The remains of Commodore Porter will be brought to this city for interment, and suitable funeral honors will be publicly paid to his memory. - Wi• are very sorry to learn that-Ron. Henry E. Stebbins, member of Congress from the First dis trict of New York, is very ill with typhoid fever at his residence in that city." The Electoral Vote of 1864.

A copy of a letter from Governor Nice, of Ne vada, to the Secretary of State, has been sent to Congress. With regard to the defeat by the people of the State OnzAitution, the Governor suggests that the Constitution contained stringent provi sions in regard to the right of suffrage, which arrayed the disloyal element against it. Many miners ob jected to the provision imposing a tax on mining. It was submitted at the same time time as the State election, and some of the names on the State ticket excited much. dissatisfac tion. Exception was also taken to some pro ceedings of the Convention. All these causes com bined SllitiCei to defeat the State Constitution. Virginia City and the adjacent county, which were entitled to one-third of the representation, voted against the tax on mines. This alarmed the farmers, who thought the whole tax would fall upon them, and many joined the disaffected to defeat the Constitution. He says there is a good Union majority in every precinct of the county, Too many of the disloyal, who annoy and porpleX constantly, and considerable of the se cession element exists in the recent immigration, mainly from Missouri, southern Illinois, and Southern Indiana; and the :tattered rebel forces of the .Southwest. This character of i s migration he thinks will be greatly increased this season. The Struggle between the 'guile's has been earnest and embittered. He has no doubt. that Nevada will immediately respond to the enabling act of Con gress. $30,000,000 in precious metals have been mined during the past year. When irrigation is reduced to a system, it is claimed that the Terri tory will produce a sufficiency of vegetables and cereals. The Pennsylvania Reserves. The trouble among the Pennsylvania Reserves results from the fact that the men claim their time will be up in May, Mi. They seek to fortify this claim by citing an order of the War Department, and the practice of the Pension Bureau, dating the term of service - from the day of enrolment. The War Department rules, however, that troops must serve the United States three years from the date of their muster into the service of the United States. This would seem to be law and common sense; nod the Government will undoubtedly adhere to - its exprmed purpose to retain the troops in the ser vice. They, to be sure, will:feel restive under the prolongation of the term for which they intended originally to contract. But they did deliberately con tract with the Government for three years• service, and it would scent as if there was nothing for them to do but to stick to the bargain manfully, and to look to their State authorities and their own officers for any satisfaction they may erase for not having the two months they had served in Pennsyl vania allowed upon and deducted from the time for which it was notorious that the United States alone made contracts with soldiers. it is said that the privates in the Deserve regiments have unani mously determined to quietly lay down their arms and refuse to peribrm further duty when their time is up, as they measure It. It is to be hoped they Will be dissuaded from this action. General :aluanu has addressed to them a circular, in which kindness and firmness arc well blended, and in which he entreats them to patriotic behaVior. This letter from their old commander will assuredly bring order Out of chaos, l'o good soldier would make anything a pretext for leaving the service on the immediate approach of active operations in the Investigation of the Fort Pillowillassaere —An Authentic Case. The sub-committee on the conduct of the war, consisting of Senator WADE and Representatie GOOcn, have returned- from Fort Pillow. They took fifty-seven depositions, all of which more than con firm the newspaper accounts of the massacre. They say that it would be impossilde to exaggerate the cruelties committed. Among the witnesses examined is the negro who was buried alive and who dug him self out of his own grave. There is no doubt of the fact that one or more persons were nailed through their flesh to pieces of weed, and then buried alive. Not only on the day of the surrender were these fiendish acts perpetra ted, but on the next day in cold plood. The victims seen by the committee were most of them cut and pierced in the face and eyes with bayonets and swords, while other parts of their bodies were mahged and disfigured either by steel or lead, The name of Mr. O'NEILL, of Pennsylvania, was in correctly printed in the yeas and nays among thoSe who on Saturday voted against equalizing the pay of white and black soldiers.? He voted for that amendment. The Ten• Forty Loan. The subscriptions to the 1040 loan, reported at the Treasury Department to-day, amount to $1,400,000.

Hon. Montgomery Blair: .INly BEAT: *LIT Some days ago I understood you to say that your brother, General Frank P. Blair, desires to be guided bylny wish as to whether he will occupy his seat in Congress, or remain in the field. My wish, then, is compounded of what I believe win be best for the country and best for him, and it is that he will come here and put his military com mission in my hands, take his seat, go into caucus with our friends, abide the nominations, help elect the nominees, and thus aid to organize a House of Representatives, which will really support the Go vernment in the war. If the result shall be the election of himself as Speaker, let him serve in that position ; if not, let him retake his commission and return to the army. For the eountry this will heal a dangerous schism. For Min it will relieve from dangerous position or a misunderstanding, as I think ne is in danger of being permanently separated from those with whom only he can ever have a real sym pathy, the sincere opponents of slavery. It will be a mistake if he shall allow the provocations offered him by insincere time-servers to drive him from the house of his own building. / He is young yet. He has abundant talents ; quite enough to. occupy all his time, without devoting any to temper. He is rising in military skill and useful ness. His recent appointment to the command of a corps by one so competent to judge as Gen. Sher man proves this. On that line he can serve both the country and himself more profitably than he could as a member of Congress upon the floor. The fore going is what I would say if Frank Blair were my brother instead of yours. A. LINCOLN. ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTS.

Times.] WA SU 1 fiGT I.—A despatch was received to-day by the Government, from Fortress Monroe, stating that the roar of Beauregard's army passed through Petersburg yesterday morning. His force is estimated at from 18,000 to 20,000 men. Nothing of special note has transpired at the front to-day. Pickets of both armies extend up and down the Rappahannock and Rapidan. A considerable rebel force is reported to be at Fredericksburg-, at work throwing up more earth works on the heights. The rebels are also reported to be withdrawing from the vicinity of Madison Court House, and con centrating in front of our left and centre. One division of Longstreet's corps, according to deserters, is at Hanover Junction, in reserve. On the same authority, Lee's strength is stated to be upward of 100 2 000 men WASHINGTON, ➢Tay 2.—A Richmond paper of Thursday last says : "The languor in the commer cial market shows that the townspeople will have to live on half rations until the country people, who have provisions to spare, shall have heardof the de feat of Grant's army. We may then expect supplies from all quarters, and a revival of business on a descending scale of prices." A despatch from Orange Court House, April 27, says that all the Yankees have left the valley to re inforce arcade. A telegram from PreilerickAMrg of the Satkie iato says as yet there are no indications of Grant's movement toward Fredericksburg, except that the telegraph from Occoquan to Alexandria Is being re_ paired by the Yankees. THE FIGHT AT MADISON COURT HOUSE THE REBELS ,SMOKED OUT OF THE PLACE. W.itelfiNGTON, May 2.—The expedition which was sent out last week and destroyed Madison Court House met no rebels till within about a half mile from that town. A slight skirmish then took place, in which the rebels lost five men and the Union soldiers nine. The enemy then returned to the Court House. The Star has the following fur ther particulars : The rebels suddenly disappeared, but on our forces entering the town they received a volley of musket ry from the windows of the houSes., and they were for a time compelled to withdraw. The officers in command of the reconnoitring party ordered ano ther advance, when again a destructive fire was opened on them from the houses, and there being no other way of smoking the rebels out, orders were is sued that the town should be fired. The torch was applied to a number of houses affording cover for the enemy, whereupon the hitter hastily decamped, leaving our forces in full possession of the place. The flames, however, spread very rapidly, and there being no means at hand whereby the fire could be checked, a general t onflagration was the result, and in a short time almost the entire town was in ashes. The act was certainly not a wanton one on the part of the Union oillats, but was rendered neces sary by the dastardly act of the rebels, who used the houses as a shelter for the purpose of slaughtering our troops. RECONNOISSANCE TO -UPPER-VILLE-CAP TURE OF MOSEBY'S MEN. The cavalry expedition sent out from Vienna, on Thursday last, under the command of Colonel Low ell, returned to that place yesterday, after having visited Leesburg, Rectortown, and Upporville.

He returned in safety to Vienna with the prisoners captured from Moseby, and three blockade-runners, twenty-five horses, a large quan tity of wool, tobacco, and other contraband goods picked up on the route.

The state of preparation of the army in General .Tohnsion's front, the removal of a great body of troops from Rnoxville and Cleveland to Chattanoo -Im. and the facility with which reinforcements can be thrown from Tennessee and Kentucky, warn us that we need not be suprised at anytime to hear that an earnest attempt is being made to break our lines at Dalton, and that a groat battle Is going on.ii DEPARTMENT OF THE GULF.

The Richmond Examiner, of April 29th says "We have again rumors of an impending battle on the Georgia and Tennessee lines. The opinion in that part of the Confederacy appears to be that the enemy is to make a grand effort for a successful campaign in that quarter, but while there is much stronger evidence that an effort is to be made in the direction of Richmond, it must be recollected that this theory by no means excludes the probability that an important issue is also to be tried in North Georgia. The enemy has no army there which isformidable in numbers and discipline. /t possesses one great advantage which the enemy has not in Virginia—the impregnable fortifications of Chattanooga upon which to fall back in case of disaster.

Tho latter is emphati cally, to-day, one of the very ablest men in Con gress, if not one of the foremost men in the country In point of intellect. Indeed, Hon.
