[Spectral Comenondeoce of The Ppm.]
,LONDON, C. W., August lA, 1864.
Canada is full of Secessionists. There
are large numbers of runaways from the
Confederacy domiciled throughout her ter
ritory from end to end, but principally in
London, Toronto; Kingston,' and Montreal.
Generally they are men of slender
their available funds not 'being. suffi
cient to enable them to -go to Eui - ope,
and live in a style befitting the represents.-
tivesPof the empire of King Jeff. They pass
their time 4n much the same manner as
they enjoyed their sunny South, varying
their amusements according tothe change
of latitude: They have lost the'Vrivilege
of commanding their negro slaves, and
make up for the loss by a lintighty inso
lence towards every person in a- subordinate
position. Whisky, billiards, and poker can
be indulged in in Canada as well as in Dixie,
though the latter amusement is somewhat
curtailed by the impecunious- , condition of
the players.. Their- travelling" is Confined
to occasional visits to Niagara and trips to
the upper lakes. All of them cannot afford
the luxuries of first-class 'hotels, and are
forced to come down to the`realities of life.
Their condition will ,be decidedly un-,
pleasant if the war lasts a year or two
longer.
These runaway rebels are not of a race
to be respected. Too cowardly to stay at
the South and enter the army as the great
majority of their brethren have- clone, they
fled to Canada for safety. They are quite
on a par with the many who have departed
from the North to escape the draft, and fre
quently affiliate readily with them. The
most noisy of all are the Kentuckians, con
stantly vaporing -of the "rights" of the
South with that insufferable egotism that
only a Kentucky secessionist knowshow to
exhibit _
IC is the hourly assertion of the runa
ways from that State who are domiciledp
Canada that the Confederacy cannot live- a
moment without Kentucky; and their ex
cuse for absenting themselves from. the, re
bellion is that the State has been over
powered by the Lincolnites for the time,
and compelled to stand for the Union.
'They do not for a moment imagine the
real cause of their desertion to be a lack of
honest pluck.
SECESSION CONCLAVES.
Occasionally there are small meetinalis of
Sebessionists here and at Toronto, *usually
held in partial secresy.. Their, object is
universally to promote the rebel cause in
some way or other, either by a liberation
of prisoners now in our hands or by
sending some aid and comfort to the
rebels in arms. Recently large numbers_
of horses have been purchased and' sent -
to Montreal and Quebec for the benefit'
of the rebel army. The design is to ship
them to Nassau or Bermuda and thence to•
rebeldom via Havanna. I underitand that
dome of them will be cleared for Mexican'
or West Indian ports and pushed through
the blockade instead of goinito,..the desti
nation originally marked out. "It is well.
known that-horses-aip.verlcanpree-with the -
rebels, nearly all"Cheir cavalry men being
reduced to service on foot. -If ten thou
sand horses could be sent , thither from
Canada they would be of great importance
to Jeff and his followers. There is some
doubt as to the value of Horses thus taken
from a cold to a hot region, but the rebel
agents are not heeding that objection.
PLOTS TO itELEASE PRISONERS.
There have been on several occasions
plots for the release of. the rebel prisoners:
on Johnson's Island. These plots have
generally been concocted here- or at To
ronto, but they have never gone farther
than their formation. You will recollect
the excitement that, prevailed last year at
Sandusky and other points along the coast
of Lake Erie over an expected raid. Had
it not been for the prompt information
given by the Canadian authorities the
affair might have been serious. Since then,
a similar scheme has
. several times been
formed, but, the Sandusky authorities
are now so 'well prepared that
the enterprise would be quite hazardous.
I am reltably informed that there is now
under concoction a. scheme that , embrace;
the release of prisonerp, not only - at john-
Bon's Island but at other points throughout.
the country, in which the K. G. C.ls of our
own States were to lend, a helping hand.
The details of the plan were carefully kept
In the skulls of the chosen few, and only
the fact of the existence of. the plot has
been allowed to come out. The plan
comprises' the destruction of several of
our lake cities, among which I have
heard Buffalo, Cleveland, and Sandusky
mentioned: Large quantities of arms and
ammunition have been brought to Ca
nada,, and are now in the hands of the
Secessionists. The principal difficulty will
be to assemble a sufficient
for
of men
and procure steamboats for transportation
purposes. There are many Canadians
heartily hostile to us, and would exult at
seeing our lake cities 'destroyed. If they
were the only parties concerned the rebels
could soon obtain..sufficient steamers for
their purpose. Fortunately the Canadian
Government, if not on our side, ia suffi
cientlypwalte to its awn. interests , to per
mit'no act that *could at a futurp da be
- made a . mptive of revenge. They perceive
that the outfitting of any exlpedition against
us would-be sure, sooner cir later i to be re
turned in kind. Tlinterditoit is natilikely
that any descent can be made upon, Our
frontier, unless without the aid or .6ow
ledge of the Canadian authorities, What
ever the rebels undertake in this quarter
will be clone on their own responsibiliVY.
AFFATRS V AT NIAGARA FALLS.' .'"`
The Niagara Falls affairs are reallk, Ot less
importance than has been attached to thern.
Clay, Holcombe and Sanders are Men of
slight note in Rebeldom, and by their own
admission are without any authority from
'the Confederate Government. 'The actual
object of their mission was and is to co
operate -with the Northern copperheads •in
their efforts to stop the war. They are ei
tilting over the fact that they drew a propo
sition from Mr. Lincoln while, they made
none themselves. Not day passes that
they are not, in conclave with some of the
Northern Peace Democracy of the Seymour
and Dean Richmond school. Some one or
more of the rebel big little guns may con
stantly be found at the Falls, while the
balance oscillate betweeti. the Falls, Toronto
and St. Catharine' s,occasionally going as far
as Windsor. Their fraternization with the
copperheads will bear fruit at the; Chicago
Convention, but in what amount it is use
less to speculate now. It is proper 'to state
'in tbis connection that many of these rebel
gentlemen are prominent and weithyneni

recently exposed in - St. Louis.. and , else

New YORK, Friday, August 1.9,1884.
To the Editor of the Yea) York Times :
_
I have just received the folloritng meat interest
ing letter from General Saymour,•lately released
from "miller-ire" at Charleston. As an old 'Streit
-Point officer,
~ with General Anderson at SumPtcr,,
and stationed many years In the South, he know's
the Southern 'people well Bela ahre,vii, true Bel
dier, devoted to the Union, and, although at the
time of the unfortunate - battle in Florida, he was
accused of lultewarnMeati by those -ighorant ef his
cberacter he has proved, by his, action on many a

Years, &c., W. E.. D., Jr.
' WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass., Aug. 15,1864.
Mt 'DRAB, SIR: YOU ask for my Impressions of
the prthent condition of tho Southern Confederacy,
and you shall have them: For theheneet of our
cause I wish they might be impressed upon every.
soul In the land, that the confidence begotten oemy
three months' observations in the interior or the
' South might •be shared by every man who has the
least connection with the responsibilities of this
struggle, And lam sure that these opinions ate not
peculiar to myself: Every one of the fifty officers
Just exchanged will express the same—every one of
them, whether from the jails of Charleaton, or the
pens of Macon and Andersonville, - will confidently
tell the same story.
The rebel cause is fast failing from exhaustion.
Their two grand armies ha* been reinforced this
summer from the last resoureesof the South. From
every corner of the land, -every - old man and every
boy capable of bean; a rifle has been impressed,
willingly or dowilling y, and hurried to the front.
Lee's army was the first so strengthened. It was
at the expense of HooVs. Gov. Brown told the
truth with a - plainness that was very bitter, but It
was none the lees the truth. Let me extract a few
prominent statements from his preelamation of Su
ly 9, addressed to the " Reserved . Militia of
Georgia :"
late cookapondence with the President of the
Confederate Sfhtes satisfied my mind that Georgia
it to be lett to her own resources to supply the rein
forcementato Gem Johnston's army, - which-are in
dispensable to the protectlonof Atlanta, and to pre
vent the State from being overrun by the over
whet= big u n W Under command of the Fede
ralgeneral upon our soil.
"But there is need of further reinTorcemente, as
will he seen by the accompanying letter of General
Johnston. * * * Anil it becomes my duty to
call forth every man in the State able to bear arms,
as fast as they can be armed, to aid in the defence
of our homes, our altars, and. the graves of our an
cestors.
"II the Confederate Goveramentwill not sendithe
large cavalry force (now engaged in raiding - and re
pelling raids) to destroy the -long line of railroads
over which General Sherman brings his supplies
from Noe hville, and -thus compel him to retreat with
the loss of must of his army, the people of Georgia.,
who have already 'been drawn upon more hearlij in
"oportion to imputation than those of any other State
in the Confederacy, must at all hazards, and at any
sacrifice, rush to the front.-
"lf Gen Johnston's army is destroyed, the Gulf.
States, are thrown open to the eheray,.and we are
ruined:,
There must, indeed, have been despei ate weakness
wheu Georgia, and the Southern cauee with It, were
FO neglected that Lees _ army mighg be made equal
tb the task of holoing Grant to the Potomac or the
James, and the " people of the South are intelligent
enough to understand tend to appreciate the fact;
and they have lost heart:accordingly...
The is from a letter written birone rebel
to another that accidentally fell^ into the-hands of
one of my fellow-prisoners, and for the authenticity
ot which I vouch :
“ V ery Jew persons are preparing to, obey the late.
Call of the Governor. Ells summons will meet with
no response here. The people are soul-sick, and
heartily tired of this.hateful, hopeless strife. They
would end it if they could; but our • would-be, rulers
will take good care that no opportunity be given
the people to vote against It. By Iles, by fraud, and
by chicanery this I'l-volution was inaugurated; by
force, by tyranny, and the suppression of truth it is
sustained. It Is nearly time that it should end, and
of sbetr depletion It must end before long. We have
bad enough.ot - want and of woe, enough of cruelty
add carnage, enough of cripples and corpses. There
is an abundance ol bereaved parents, weeping ,wld.-
ows and orphaned children in the land. If we can,.
let us not increase the. number. The men .who, to
aggrandize themselves, or to gratify their own pre.
Hums/ ambition, tiought this cruel'war upon a
peaceful and prosperous country, will Have tO refl.
der a feartui account of their misdeeds to a wrong
ed,- robbed,. and outraged people. Earth Itocito
Tunishment sufficiently meet for there viltiliiratife7
and hell will hardly be hot enough to scathe them
heresiter.” _ _
There is certainly-a no small . proporticrt of the
Southern people (despite the lying declarations of
their journals., as we had good occasion to learn.)
that not only favor the progress of our arms, bat
that daily pray that this exterminating 'war may
soon be brought" to a finality by our complete and
perfect success. . They have had too much of despot
ism—not enough of the . triumph promieed them.
Many intelligent Southern gentlemen do, Indeed,
express strong hopes of their ultimate independence,
but such hope Is not shared by the masses, DiSa.p.•
pointed from the first in not having been acknow
ledged by foreign Powers—more bitterly disap
pointed in 'their general expectation that Northern
cowardice or dissension would secure their ends,
but a single chance remains, and that is the result of
our next election for President. If -a Democrat etre
coedit to Mr. Lincoln, they profess to feel sure of ne
gottations, and sure of their Cohfederaoy. They
believe a Democrat will be elected. In Mr. Lin
coin's re-election they see only subjugation, annihi

lnquilitary affairs it is an excellent rule never to
do whet the enemy desires—is it not equally true In
political Certain it is that the only - remaining hope
of the South lies In Mr. Lincoln's defeat. -
gow, I am not enough of a politician to know
whether the election of a Democrat can result as fa
vorably to the South as it anticipates. The wish
slope may -be the. parent of their belief. But I as
sured all ho expressed that bellef.thet the North,
as a mass, is as united' as the South—that no Demo
crat could be elebted on a peace pialfot that
any President who would - inaugurate: 'maitre

llowever-that maybe, if we. are but true our.
selves there can be but one result. What we now
need is men—only men—not substitutes or hirelings
Who go forth for any motive but the country's good,
and produce- but, little beyond depreciating our
armies—but MEN—such as really constitute the
State, and boast of being freemen and the sons of
freemen. IS these fail to support their country's
cause in her hour of peril, they are unworthy of con
tinuing freemen, and should blush ever to exercise
a trectuarercprivileger.

To every intelligent soldier who has fought
through all these indecisive campaigns on almost
numberless indecisive tields,the question constantly
arises, with touching force, why we do not over
whelm our enemies]
Tens of thousands of lives are lost because oar
array of strength is so dieproportionably less than
that against which we battle. Everywhere we meet
on nearly equal terms, where ive might well have four
to one. The cost to us in blood and treasure, of a
-prolonged war, can hardly be foreseen—the-economy
is Winn e of such, an effort as the glorious North
should put forth.
The , South will tight as long: as the struggle is
equal ; it wilt submit to such preponderance as we
should show in every field.
Glance at the summer's campaigns. If Sherman
hnd,but 60 000 or 75400 more-men near, the South
would be lost, because Hood would be annihilated.
If Meade had moved In the spring with reserves of
75.000 to 100,000 men. Lee .would have been hope
lessly crushed. Even at this moment a third'
colun.n ot 4.,000 to 50,000 rightly moved, would give
unopposed blows to the uonfederasy from which
she could never rite. - •
What folly then to struggle,on in this way, when
we can rend to the field Ave times, the force already
there. What weakr eSs • to think. we cannot oon
qtier the South. Behind. the James only Wye and
old men are to be seen, while here men buy and
sell as in' the olden dais of quiet, and regiments of
ab:e.bodied citizer s crowd the streets of our cities.
There is but one course consistent with safety or
honor. Let the people awake to a sense of their
dignity and strength, and a few months of compare.
lively trifling exertion of sueh effort as alone is
worthy of the great. work, and the rebellion will
crumble belore us. Fill this draft _promptly and
willingly, with good and true men; send a few
spare thousands over rather than under the call,
and the summer Elan of 1865 will shine upon a re;
generated land'.
There are some who speak of peace I Of all Yan
kees the Souihron Most soorna those who do not
fight. but are glhd enough to employ them, as they,
do their slaves; to perform their dirty work. Peace
for the South will be sweet indeed; for us, except •
through Southern subjugation; but anarchy and
wet forever. The Pacific, the Western, the Eastern
States would at once lall asunder. The South would
be. domino nt, and the people of the North would de.
serve m be driven a-field, under negro 'overseers, to
hoe corn and cotton for Southern masters.
• But no faint.hearted or short sighted -policy can'
set aside the eternal decree of the almighty, who
bee planted no lines of dleunion between 'the At
lantic and the Western deserts—between the great
lakes and the Gulf of. blercloothat signify Ills will

Some years ago interesting. discoveries of human
remains were made eaves in - the southwestern
part of Prance; and the British Parliament has ap
propriated £l.OOO to purchase one' f these caves, to
.be placed under charge of Professor Owen on behalf
of the British Museum. The Manchester Guardian -
gives the following particulars about these caves
and their contents:_,
The locality of the caves is the department of
Dordegne, in the province of Perigord, It is chiefly
on the banks of tributaries - -of - the river Dordogne
(wbich reaches the sea. . a little north of;Bordeaux)
that the caverns are found. In the , valley of the
Vezere, one of the - principal of these tributaries,
are several caverns, one of which; that of Eyzies,
wan bought last year by Messrs. E. Lartet and H.
Christi', two eminent geologiets. These gentlemen
.divided the floor of the cave into compartments,
and, with a generosity worthy of all praise; they
have sent specirfiens of the blookeFthus obtained
to the , principal museums in .Europe and else
where. In this way Mr. Plant received, abet
a fortnight age,_ for the Salford 'Royal Mu
seum, a slab weighing about five hundred
weight. It was broken in the 'journey into
two tarts, each of which has beehrmounted under a
glass shade. The shaking it had received on the
way rubbed off a quantity of dibris weighing about
twenty pounds, and this Mr. Plant has carefully
Washed and sifted, and separated atom from atom.
His patience -has been fully rewarded, as he has
found articles ,of the ,deepest interest. Before en
tering into details .it may be well Weal , that by far
the lac set. number bones foundin the'eaverns
of -Perigord 'are those -of the reindeer,•an animal
which has ,not been :known within the Materiel pe-
!hid south of the northern shores of the Baltic. It
la:impossible even to approximate to the antic - laity
of an age so remote; but Sir Oharles, Lyell; in his
'Antiquity of Man estimates that the' cave- •
direllersi- tokens of " whose manners of life we
are about to describe, flourished. not less than
from ten, to fifteen thousand years ago. These
tokens consist of a conipaet mass of earth, char
coal, flint. weapons, and tools, banes, needles,
sic., which have been hardened into , a solid ag
glomerate, chiefly by the action of the calcareous
droppings from the roof Of the 'Nave. This agglome
rate, or .13reCCia, as It .1s„ technically technically ,styfea, has
- formed en artificial floor to the care, of various
thickaefses, from three inches to ten inches.
The practice of the ancient inhabitants of
:throwing down the bones and other remnants
of their, feasts open the floor of the cave
in rifle]) they continue to dwell, reoeives illus
tration from the description given by the `Da
rash nislionary of the last century, - Hans Egede.
of the habits of the Esquimaux. Re says their
huts were veritable -.charnel-houses, heaped up
with fat- - find the raw flesh' of mammals and fish,
which,together with the retriairet of former feasts,
created a smell which a European could not endure,
but which did not Incommode a native in the least.
At some,period suhsequentto the human occupancy
of the cavern a. flood has rushed through it; bringing
in its course, and leaving in- the cave. a number of
- boulder stones. Thesahave • been - fixed to the arti
ficial floor of, hrecola by the slow bat unfailing
mason—the droppings from the chalk strata oeer-
The articles, in the Salford Museum include flint
knives, bone needles, broken teeth, and 4 similar ob
jects. .Theconclusion deduced from the exploration
of these caves is that a human race inhabited the
caves in the region since Called Perigord at the
same time as the -reihdeer, the enrich, and other
-ardmais which are now onlyfound in extreme
: that this people had no knowledge of the
We of Metals, their only arms and tools being either
of hreken and unpolished flints, or of bones or
horns of animals ; that they lived upon the produce
of the chase and by tithing ; that they had no do
mesticated animal, neither dog nor cat, else BOTTA
portions , or the bones and sinews that have been
found would have been oaten, and some remains of
the clogwoold have been discoVered ; and that they
were clothed in skins, which were sewn With bone
needles and string-made out of the sinews and ton
dos of the legs of theirloresy.,

of the scenes preceding the battle bf the 29th ult :
Gen, Manigeult, with three brigades of Hind
man's ()triplet:, was throwing up heavy breaatworks
across the elegant grounds which enclose one of the
handsomest residences in the vicinity of Atlanta;
dismounted cavalry were, getting into line ; wagons
pushing to the rear, and couriers dashing by, while
far and near arose above the luxuriant foliage of
the woods heavy clouds of dust, which , betokened
the manceurring of troops. Spurring forward to
the headquarters of the Commander-in-chief, which
bad been transferred to the edge of the town, and
nearer the centre Of our lines, I found there other
signs which added to the perplexity of the moment.
The principal officers -of the army were in close

impressed with some new responsibility. The con

followeilby their respective staffs, rode swiftly away

the unravelling of the web. TOe noble Texan,

for the *week, 08,859.18, against 77 558 tons tor the
corresponding week last year. The demand for coal
is good, but not - so brisk as it has been particularly
for the New York market. There Is no accumula
tion, hoirever, at any point., and it, goes off as fast as
it arrives. The eapeeity,for producing coal in, the
Pottsville region Is far ahead. of the transporting

TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
OPIOOK OP INTERNAL REVENUE,
WASHINGTON. A s ugast, 18, 1864.
• 4 , • • In order to avoid unnecessary delay
or trouble at this time, collectors may, upon the
parties giving them the required bond's, permit them
to store merchandise In their warehouse, without
waiting fbr this ogee to approve the bond. This
may be done subsequently. JOSEPH G. Lewis,
Commissioner.
The Secretary of the Treasury has authorized
the Sub-Treasurer at New York to anticipate the
payment of the coupons on the 1040 loan Septem
ber let, and upon the 5.20 e November Ist.
The Secretary has at command for any great
emergency, 332 095,800 of the long gold-bearing
stock of 1881,now worth in the market 108% %l cent.,
including the interest accumulated_ sines July 1,
He has before the people 3124,131,200 of 1040 sears
5 Ilft ant. gold-bearing stock, the remainder of the
3200,000 ; 000 loan which was unfortunately checked
on the let June- He has also before the people
3185,708,150 of 7-30 ski cents. convertible Into 5.20
Tease 6 cent. goldbearing stook in 1867. If the
great emergency has actually arrived fbr forcing.
the sale of the drat item by private negotiation
materially below the market price, and the offer is
made to take the whole at once and pay for lt, even
though ft should tighten the money market to the
arrest of the popular sale of the two other and much
larger loans, of course the Secretary will have to
act for the beat, under circumstances beet known to
.himself and his ii . ssistant (now acting) Secretary
at Washington. He will scarcely be persuaded,
however, that he U cornered for thirty-three millions
before be actually is so.
The Treasury office in New York now holds be
tween thirteen and fourteen millions In gold and
silver. The 'current customs receipts are largely in
advance of the daily demand upon the office for gold
interest. This accumulation would continue until
the first of November, but for an order made by
Secretary Fessenden that the coupons due on the
first Of November on the 6 20' loan, as well as the
coupons on the 10.40 loan due on the first of Septem
ber, will be paid on presentation, without abatement
of Interest. The Secretary inourano risk in making
this order. Ho proposes to anticipate seventeen mil
lions of gold interest, on the first of September and
first of November, while be holds in New York and
otheioftices, and with his bankers in London, more
than this sum in gold and silver. The sum total of
interest thus anticipated, together with the first of
October Interest on the 7 30 per cent. Treasury notes
of 1861, then due, is estimated by the New York
Times to be 319,672,707. The customs duties at New
York and all other points in August, September,
and October, Wit year, were 826,148,70. This season
they will not be materially less.
The present gold-bearing public debt of the United
States is $886,358,191, involving an. interest chars*
in gold of-$68,725,113. The customs revenue in golf'' ,
the past fiscal year was $103,218,192. It is desirable,
in many-points of view, that our consumption 0 1
foreign merchandise, during the new fiscal year,
should not produce, even at the increased rates
under the revised tariff, as much gold revenue as
last year. At the same time it is the policy of the
Treasury Department to shape the progress of the
gold-beating public debt, both as to amount and the
rate,of Interest to this contingency. Renee the pro
gramme of Mr. Fessenden for the new popular loan
at 7.30 cent. in currency, to take its gold-bearing
shape at 6 If cent. three years hence; by which
time, under the blessings of a restored Union of the
States, our customs revenue in gold will be equal to
the support of $200,000.000 interest per annum. "
Of American stocks Baring's circular says:
"There have been constant transactions In the
United States 6-20 bends, at prices varying from 41
to 43, hut not such large sales as during the pre•
ceding week. The present price is 420/)48, but sales
are chiefly made for delivery in six weeks.' There
has been business In Illinois ()antral shares at 423 i
discount. In other American securities_ we have
nothing of interest to mention."
Satterthwalte's circular reports as follows : "Sines
our last there has been a fair business in the
London market for some descriptions of American
securities. At the latter end of last week both
Government bonds and railway shares were de
pressed about $2 ; but &icing the last three days, on
a good demand, they have rallied, United States
bonds goof,
at previous quotations, and Illinois
shares at an advance of 2 per cent. There have
been numerous inquiries for Atlantic and Great
Western bonds of the Ohio section, but none are
brought to market. The first mortgage bonds of the
Pennsylvania section brought 74 today."
The New York Post of Saturday evening says :
The terms of the new loan are not yet decided. It
is reported that the bonds will be five.twenties,
'which are extremely scarce. No bonds are at pre
sent more actively in request both in foreign mar
kets and by our own citizens. The demand for the
new seven.thirties is not expected to be diminished
by the Issue of these gold-bearing bonds, as the lat
ter will be absorbed by a different class of investors
from thosewho subscribe for the former. Gold is
drooping in consequence of the payment's of inte
rest f r om the sub-treasury. The opening price was
