TUESDAY, AUGUST 1, 1865
ANNIVERSARY OF THE PRESS.
Eight years ago this day we published the
- first number of Tix. PRESS. We always
mark the finnivereary as the beginning of a
most prosperous newspaper enterprise, and
as almost the first of the events which pre
ceded the first effective open protest of
the Northern people arninst the arrogance
of Bravery. Without a party, and against
a party which had just entered upon a
fresh lease of the administration of the
Government, THE PIVES' took the field.
The Democracy were inpessession in Penn
sylvania, and a large majority of the States.
The South was in the bloom of its wealth
and the pride of its strength. , Mr. Bu-
CDANAN'S coffers were full. He dtstributed
imperial patronage 'with despotic sway.
He rewarded and punished with royal os
tentation. Even humbly to differ with
such a majestyovas to dare the darkest
doom. And the attempt was promptly
rebuked. But When this difference was
steadily maintained,' and when it deepened
into defiance, and finally broke into revolu
tion, the force of a single-handed combat
for the right was both felt and seen. A
journal that broke from a once-honored or
ganizatiori saw that organization break down
under its own dishonor ; and the arrogant
tyrants who sought to crush independ
ent citizens were themselves crushed under
the weight of :their own: treachery. The
volumes of TEE PRESS are the living record
of fearless deeds. They prove that there is
no power strong enough to put down those
who contend for the truth, and that no
party can survive the loss of its honor or
the violation of its faith.
REBELLION REVIVED.
The value of the military presence in
the recent rebel and slave States, is again
strongly vindicated. Their confessed po
verty and the generosity of. the Govern
ment in its civil policy and in its cf.
forts to alleviate the sufferings produced
by their wickedness, have not inspired the
slightest abatement in their arrogance and
insolence. The conduct of the traitors of
Richmond, and, according to late intelli
gence, of those in North Carolina, will
only damage themselves. The hope
that they would be permitted again_
to stab the Government under the am
nesty and reconstruction policy of the
President, has been sternly dissipa
ted by the summary revocation and
repudiation of the . election at Richmond,
and the same chastisement will of course
be inflicted upon the enemies of Governor
HOLDEN in North Carolina. How steadily
these men are provoking the bitterest retri
bution ! How completely they are fulfilling
the worst prophecies of those who have con
tended that there was neither faith nor
truth in them ! And how, on the other
hand, they are disgusting those who have
insisted upon reposing confidence in them !
If, however, the Southern people will have
the iron rule, they must even be accom
modated. We trust we shall now have
no more judicial nonsense and newspaper
logic to prove that the rebellion is at an
end. The politicians who have been slan
dering AIL STANTON on the subject of mili
tary courts, and who have been clamoring
for the restoration of the habeas corpus,
will revise their judgments and cease their
clamors, if they have any sense of propriety
or self-respect.
Aw3ilExaTxolv
A VERY STRONG FEELING in favor of an
nexation to the 'United. States is reported
to be growing up in the Canadas, despite
the protests of some of the journals and
politicians, who imagine that their interests
require them to make, for the present, very
loud protestations of loyalty. The Reci
procity Treaty demonstrated that free trade
with our country was of immense service to
our Northern neighbors ; and if they can
not secure its advantages on any other
terms than annexation. they will
.nwr war: pleasure. The London
Economist, in a well-written article pub
lished some time since, demonstrated in the
clearest manner, that Great Britain, her
British-American provinces, and the United
States, would all advance their material
interests by the transfer of the provinces
to our country. It will cost Great Britain
much more than her possessions are worth,
financially, to securely fortify them ; and
it will plunge the Provinces into a chronic
state of insecurity to make their fate con
stantly dependent upon the uncertain
chances of a war between Great Britain
and the United States, which may at any
time suddenly arise. The Economist con
tends that pride and sentiment, not interest,
maintain the present relations between
England and her North American Colonies ;
and it is by no means improbable that John
Bull may some of these fine days grow
heartily tired of governing colonies which
tax his resources severely, and that the
colonists will find the control of a govern
ment in which their interests are not repee•
sented too burdensome and unjust to be
longer borne.
Our past history abounds with instances
in which immense districts of territory, that *
are now of priceless value, were peacefully
and honorably acquired. The purchase of
Louisiana, the acquisition of Florida, and
the Spanish title to the land west of the
Mississippi and north of the forty-second
the annexation of Texas, the .ae
quision of California, New Mexico, and
Arizona, are some of the fruits of the past.
The future may yield us almost equally
valuable extensions of territory on our
Northern and Southwestern frontiers. But
there is no necessity for undue haste or for
dishonorable invasions of the rights of other
nations. There is noadvantage to be gained
by striving to pluck a pear before it is ripe.
In due time "manifest destiny" will unite
politically on this continent all the people
whose true interests will be promoted by
such a Union,
TILE WIEOLE INDIAN POPULATION within
the limits of the territory of the United
States is estimated at about 320,000 to
350,000 ; 14,000 or 15,000 of whom are
located east of the Mississippi River, in
New York, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Mis
sissippi. A. new Indian 'war has broken
out along the line of the telegraph, between
San Francisco and the eastern seaboard;
and as the Indians declare they will Make
a death-struggle against advancing civiliza
tion, it is probable thousandS of them will
be destroyed by the contest they arc madly
provoking, and that we are about to have
the last great Indian war. The Secretary
of the Interior lies instructed the Indian
agents, that, in all cases of difference of
opinion with the military authorities about
the policy to be pursued to hostile or dan
gerous tribes, they are to defer to the judg
ment of the latter ; and our soldiers make
fearful havoc among the red marauders
when they fairly commence a desperate
conflict with them.
POLYGAMY in Utah will speedily be de
stroyed if the reported discoveries of gold
in that Territory are confirmed. The fair
sex nowhere find more numerous or more
ardent admirers than among the hardy
pioneers of OUT Mineral regions. They
have a theory that the Mormon marriage
system is valid so far as the first wife is
concerned, but no further. If they should
emigrate, in considerable numbers, to
Utah, the Mormon elders will find it im
possible to preserve their "peculiar insti
tution" from the inevitable assaults of these
chivalrous knight-errants.
AFTER a protracted contest, President
JOHNSON has reappointed the present Post
master of the city of Philadelphia- Had
Mr. WALBORN IlOt proved to he a most
energetic public servant, he could not have
survived ao animated a competition.
THE GREAT QUESTIONS.
We have made some selections of opin
ions from influential sources, on the seve
ral living and growing questions of the
times, which may serve to assist, adjust,
correct, or strengthen the views of patrio
tic thinkers and writers. We subjoin the
following as the first instalment :
[From the Chicago Tribune.]
THE OREAT REMEDIC
There is scarcely a day in which we do not
read of eases of suffering communities in the
South, and of doleful prospects of still more
suffering as the season advances into whiter.
We see, in almost every journal, direful prog
nostications of the dissolution of Southern
society, of a bloody war of races, and a fear
ful reign of barbarism and anarchy, the con
tinuation of which no man can foretell.
There may be, indeed, we doubt not] there is
some foundation for the apprehensions that
the people of the South feel, and there un
questionably is, in limited districts in which
war has fiercely raged, the great scarcity of
food that betokens want among the masses.
We can do nothing for present distress save
to contribute our mite to its rel ief, and to urge
Others to the exercise of Christian liberality.
but we can tell the people of the South of a
sovereign panacea for the more terrible dis
asters that they see glowering upon them in
the future. Our remedy has the merit of being
not only easy of application, but of unques
tionable efficacy. It is not, only a cure for pre
sent ills, but a prophylactic to prevent the
Occurrence of social and political evils by and
by, the apprehension of which is the cause of
so much distress. It is so simple that we tear
it may he, laughed at by those who imagine
that nothing but superhuman means can re
store and preserve order in the lately rebel
lions States; but as it accords with the theory
of the Divine government of the world, and
with the most advanced ideas of social and
political science as taught among 711011, we do
not fear the ridicule of purblind politicians,
mousing tricksters, and peddling compromi
sers, who call themselves statesmen, by stating
it in full. It is this: "A FAIR DAY'S WAtiES FOR.
A COOP DAY'S wora."
If the people of the South will adopt this
rule and stick by it, without asking any goes-
- Owls as to the color, condition, or social status
of those by whom the work is done, the trou
bles that now afflict the lately rebellious States
will disappear, and with them the portents of
evil to come.

A member of the Ohio Republican State COM
mittee furnishes an article to the Cincinnati
Commercial on the subject, in which he says:
The moment five States (meaning New Eng
land) attempt to induce Congress to reject the
Representatives of other States, because these
Representatives are not elected by the same
franchise as their own, they proclaim war
against the constitutional rights of Ohio and
the thirty other States whose Constitutions
exclude negro BUM-age. President Johnson
Maintains that the legal, loyal voters of
every State are to be treated alike. If
rebels should be returned to Congress, or
the claimants represent no constituency, of
course they must be rejected, ind military
Governments continual until there arc
enough loyal, legal voters to elect loyal men.
Congressmen, however, who vote to reject
claimants to scats from he reorganized States,.
because they are not elected by universal SW
frage, will rind out that their cOnstituents, anti
particularly the returned soldiers, who under
stand this negro question much better than
stay-at-home politicians, will stand by the
President and rebuke those who postpone the
adoption of the constitutional amendment
abolishing slavery, by throwing out, by this
action, the State ratideations of Arkansas,
Louisiana, Tennessee, as recounted in
President. Lincoln's last speech, on April 11,
1565, as justifying his policy in the ease Of
Louisiana. The sentiment of the army in
favor of sustaining President Johnson's policy,
was emphatically a unit at tile Union State
Convention, at Columbus and the politicians
who think that the soldiers layer negro suf
frage,can fully Satisfy themselves on this
point by submitting, through the Legislature,
en amendment to the Constitution of Ohio,
striking out the word white, before they ask.
other States to do what they won't do at home.
Then the arguments for and against negro
suffrage can be ennsidered before a tribunal
that has constitutional power to pass upon
them.
It is clear from this that no applicant for ad
missipu to the neat Congress can be safely ex
eluded because he was not chosen by colored
votes.
The Cincinnati Gazette covers the whole
ground when it says, after commending the
- speech of Governor Brown, of Georgia:
So we believe and have said' but it is not to
be done by rebel voting. There is a large
share Of
. good common sense and intelligence
in Georgia, but it is not probable that if rebel
soldiers vote there, as they do hi Virginia And
North Carolina, any men will he elected to
Congress who agree with Governor Johnson.
The probability now is that no rebel State, un
less it is Arkansas, will send a loyal represen
tation to Congress. And if they do not what
then) The remedy is a very plain one, Con
gress Will not admit a single rebel State or a
Single member till they come pooped of every
taiwt of secession and rebellion.
This is an essential condition, and any
body who expects Congress to admit sixty
new members to form the basis of a great
reaction party to overthrow all that four
years of war and convulsion has done, must
think that there is not a grain of sense or
patriotism left in that hotly. But how are
loyal men to be sent 1 First, nobody is to be
sent till they have learned lOyalty, Secondly,
if you are afraid to let the negroes rote, then
amend the Constitution, and take the whole
negro race out of the basis of representation. Re
presentatives without a constituency is a
thing never heard oh out of the rotten bo
rougbs of England. Either they must vote,
or they must not be represented. For our
own part we prefer to give them their votes.
We are willing to trust the negroes to vote
right; and if they do not at first they will.
SOOll learn. Finally, if these modes don't
make a loyal people, exile will. Begin and
try every man for treason who don't leave
the country. Let Congress be firm—and we
bare reason to believe that it will—and in
three years from this day we shall realize
the vision of Governor Johnson. The whole
country will be united; and not merely a
sound peace, but order and prosperity will
arise from the chaos which political insanity
has caused.

Every vote given for slavery reaction in this

THE FREED3IEIOi BUREAU.
Major General Deward seems to be adding to
the fame he haSVOn as a military commander,
the reputation Of an eilielent executive officer
in his new position. His appointment has so
far proved an appointment tit to be made. The
task he is called upon to perform is one of per
plexity and delicacy in its various relations.
A whole system of labor, under an institution
where the despotic rule of the master degra
ded and kept in ignorance the slave; where
an antagonism or interests UMr the place of
fair co-operation, and. where, on the One part,
notonly commercial rights, but the persons,
the souls and the social and domestic sancti
ties of apowerless class were subjected to the
arbitrary passions of their owners—such a
system could not be suddenly and violently
overthrown without producing more or less of
suffering, anarchy, and confusion,. and raising
innumerable questions difficult of settlement.
On the one hand, those lately slaveholders
have been distinctly told that tbeir former chat,
tels are now free men in the full sense of the
word, to be treated, employed, paid, and pro
tected as such; and that to . effect this the word
and the honor of the Federal Government are
pledged. On the other hand those recently
bondmen are counselled that their liberation
means freedom to work and seek their own
Support, take care of their families, and win a
nine Meng the orderly and industrious citi
zens or the litepublie 3 and that so far as they
do this they will be encouraged and aided by
the same power that has broken their shackles
forever.
That General Howard will meet the wishes
of Northern partisans who, the excess of
their peculiar sympathy with the "natural
Icadert " ((.Sle please should bti " usurping
aristocrats");of the South, are bent upon abus
ing and misrepresenting, and are willing to
cheat out of every chance to be men, the co
lored race,
is not to be expected ; neither will
be likely to gratify those dangerous t:ema
gogues wearing popular names to mask selfish
purposes, who would injure instead of bene
fiting the negro . , by appeals to his Passions,
hit vanity, and hit Vindictiveness, thus encou
raging him in idleness and restlessness, and
preventing him from obtaining the confidence
he can so easily win. and vindicating by his
good conduct his illness to have all the rights
claimed for him.
This two-fold opposition to the Bureau is,
however to its praise rather than to its dis
credit. So far as we have beenable to observe,
its course has been cautious without being
timid, active without being hasty, phila,n
throplc without being visionary. its decisions
and its orders have been as rapid and aS ex
plicit as its necessarily, to a great extent, ten-
Haire and experimental work would allow.
Much is yet to be learned before the dealing
with the freedmen, the solittion of the indus
trial problem at the South, can be entirely
satisfactory. But a good beginning has been
made; tend the management of the industrial
affairs in the States recently in rebellion, so
far as they Mal be properly Overlooked,
adjusted, and organized by the General
Government, has been entrusted to a man of
ability, conSeientiouSly determined to do his
duty fully and fairly. The public may be con
fident that so far as he has the power, he will
be found efficient in gradually, but surely,
bringing system out of confusion.
STATE. Elourrs Awl) NO STAVES
CFrom the Springlteld Republican.]
Alexander Long, Of Ohio, and other leading,
Democrats of that stamp, - talk shout reorgan
izing the Democracy as a State-rights party.
Since Mr. Long's Southern friends have given
up that doctrine, as Mr. Long has heretofore
held and defended it, the proposition that the
Northern Democrats shall take it up is rather
a dismal joke. As an offset to it, will not
somebody propose a no-State partyjaking the
ground that there arc no States in the old
sonfie Of the word, and that the name United
Mates of Amerlea is a misnomerl One C.:S
treit-IC is no more absurd than the Other. But
there is nothing to be mastic out of the State
rights question by the politicians, in any
shape. The war bus swept away all the non
sense on that . question ; and while the actual
rights of the States arc better understood and
will be jealously guarded for the future, the
heresies of State supremacy and secession
have forever gone by the board. Thu Demo
cracy must find a mere live issue than State
rights.

conquered in the feud, they are a closer unit
than ever. Many who were opposed to SOZOS.

condition. The subtle men of the South will
couch their advice and appeals to the North in
such gentleness of spirit, that the Copperheads
will cry out "Magnanimous and chivalric!"
and thereby many will be deceived unless they
stand upon their guard. The only safe course
for every friend of the regenerated Republic
is to remain in the attitude of unswerving re

[From Philadelphia Ledger, July . 3l, 1805.]
The returns of incenses for 1801, so fares they
have been tested, show a huge increase on
those of the previous year. The special tax
of October, 1501, of live per cent., realized to
the treasury Sonic V 10,000,000. At the 'present
rates of five per cent. on incomes ot under
40,600, and ten per cent. on those above $5,000,
the amount realized would have been abont
*50,000,00e. It has been estimated that the
amount the present year will exceed 81.10,00 0 ,
009, making no account of the amount to he
derived from the assessment of this tax in dis
tricts which were in insurrection inlBll3, and
of course had no revenue officers. Should tile
increase throughout the country be but one
hundred per cent., this assessment will bring to
the treasury $100,000,000 at least, or the interest
upon $1,650,000,000 of the Government debt at
six per cent. if there is no increase in the
other sources of revenue, and the tax derived
therefrom only equals the amount of the past
year—about slos,ooo,ooo—we have an aggregate
of internal revenue sufficient to pay the inte
rest upon the whole national debt, coiling it
$2,150,000,000, and a balance of *100,000,000 for a
sinking fund. In this estimate we say nettling
of what may be realized from the vast and
PrOdnetiVe titates south of the Potomac ; make
no account of the promise of an unprecedented
prosperity in the coming twenty years Of
peace, and the developments of new sources of
wealth in the mighty West and Southwest.
There doubtless will be years of short crops
j
lessened incomes, and partially discOnraged
manufacturing industry . ; but four years of
dreary war have only begun to open nu to
view the almost unlimited resources of our
country.
LARGE AND SMALL FARMS 13: Soria.
The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle and Scntinet
urgesthe breaking up of the large plantations,
and the introduction of the small-farm sys.
tem, in order to insure more thorough culture
and greater agricultural economy. We quote:
There are many and obvious advantages that
would arise from the substitution of small
freeholders for those large landed estates
which have fostered the arlstocratic element
in Soittlitkrn society. One of these advantages
would be the improvement of our system of
husbandry. Heretofore our agriculture has
been conducted on a plan that has yielded
the very minimum of profits for the amount
of capital invested. We question if the ave
rage profits of agricultural industry in this
country are much, if at all, greater than in
the worst cultivated districts of France and
Spain. We have suffered ourselves to be
blinded by the heavy exportations of cotton,
rice, etc., torgetting, that these crops were con
sumed in the payment of Northern debts ; and
that we were all the while growing poorer,
when compared with other sections of the
Union. The late war did not more clearly es
tablish our military inferiority its a section
than it developed our relative pecuniary weak
ness. The plantation system, in connection
with slave labor, is one principal reason why
the South, despite its. advantages of soil and
climate, is behind the Other sections of the
Union in population and „in its industrial cm.
terprises.
South Carolina has suffered more from this
cause than any other Southern State. Her
Bluffton chivalry would be satisfied with no
thing but a big plantation swarming with ne
grO laborers. tieorgia, as early as 1980, dis•
tributed by lottiry many thousands of forty
acre lots, and the consequence is seen in the
relative growth of the population of the two
States. In 1790 South Carolina had double the
population of Georgia, but now the figures are
reversed. Georgia a white and colored
population of one and a quarter millions, and
her 4, erring sister" across the Savannah has
perhaps seven hundred thousand, of which
nearly two-thirds are colored.- We urge, there.
fore, the speedy inauguration of some policy
that shall encourage the multiplication of free
holds. Loyal landowners will find this more
advantageous to themselves than to keep their
lands vacant, or even to lease them for a term
of years.

Two Days in New Rork City
[Feta». the Washington Sunday Chronicle,ly 30.]
PEULAMILPRIA, July )?.9, 1565.
A few days in New York supply ample ma
terial for many days' reflection rind comment.
You may be dull even in Washington, which,
from having been a yeay crater of eXeitelnent
since Slavery attempted the life of Freedom,
and failed, is now undergoing the languor of
reaction and recoil. But New York is Ma con_
dition of incessant unrest. The great city
seems never to sleep. There arc pauses in its
tremendous vitality, but they arc like the
breathings of an eternal agony, without con
science, comfort, ortranquillity, ready to break
into instant fierceness and fire. And there
is no spot on the footstool of God on which
twelve hundred thousand human beings (the
population of New York city alone) use and
abuse so many of His gifts, or enjoy in
Such excess what - is called "personal liber
ty." The thoughts suggested by this single
sentence are appalling. It is stated by a late
writer, that the annual expenditure of the
municipal government of New York is some
eighteen millions, which is six millions more
than London pays for its management, and
nine millions more than Paris costs her over.
taxed multitudes. Very angry adjectives are
hurled at the supposed autllol'S Of this extta
vagance, and some severe remedies are sug
gested to cure the alleged - absence or scarcity
of integrity, order, and responsibility. There
is quite an exodus of the property-holders into
the rural vicinage, or over the Hudson into
Jersey, to escape taxes and secure property and
Personal safety ; and Mr. Bennett, of the Herald,
speaking for a large constituency, calls upon
Governor Fenton to interpose his authorityi
and give to the people a reasonably de:
cent, honest, and accountable city legis
lature, magistracy, police, and judiciary.
There is said to be law for this strong
measure; and very many fear, some boldly
threaten, and others indignantly invite the aid
of the populace in the shape of such an organ
ized committee of vigilance as rescued San
Francisco from the eee eargiar,
nee raven Baltimore from the same red-handed
agencies. There is, unmistakably and confes
sedly, a frightful average of crimo in New . York,
and a startling percentage of official profli
gacy. You have only to read the daily papers
to be sure of this. Whether there is any
Cure for a disease which may be said to
be inherent in the system, or the irresisti
ble result of a complication of events, is
a mystery not easy to find out. New
York is the reservoir of thousands of ingre
dients which meet and mingle in no other
locality. They collect there as at a common
centre. There they first mix and boil, and are
reduced into something like system, anti frOm
there they are diffused over vast empires and
and among many millions. Dot is not the
condition of the city itself a type of general
recklessness, looseness ; irresponsibility, and
selfishness I For, be it marked for memory,
that there is such an absorbing greed for
money, and such a profuse and thoughtless
expenditure of it by those who make it, and
by those who depend upon and copy after
them, that local government is utterly ne
glected. Thus, how to govern New York is
illustrated by how best to tat and to rob the
people. In other woede, polities, which iS
made a trade by thousands in our country, is
a science in New York city, out of which vast
profits and colossal fortunes are coined and
accumulated. The concentration of so many
different and differing elements at one
point does not, however, produce evil alone.
There is consolation and compensation in
this belief at any rate,; anti the philanthropist,
may found upon it the prophetic hope of a
better spirit in public affairs, .It is a shame
that a city which is the seat of so much afflu
ence; mind so many valuable innovations upon
old customs and faults, should present so vile
a contrast in the corruption and inefficiency
Of its officials. It is in New York that the am
bitious and gifted scholar duds encourage
inert and compensation. If the vicious spe
culator watches and wins on the changes ,of
stocks, and gambles upon his country's suffer
ings, the man of genius who has the sense to
apply his talents to practical ends, never wants
friends or fundS. More sneh instances Call he
found in New York than in any city in the
world. For this the worthy rich deserve
all honor. Their names will shine on a
dazzling roll before the exclusiveness and
costliness of the dynastic families who revel
and rot through life, while thousands pine
and perish at the very doors of their palaces
and the very gates of their country-seats. It
wound astound you if yon could look over the
list of these individual contributions to aspir
ing and emulous young men and women, and
the long catalogue of charities for the relief
of the indigent and the unfortunate. But in
nothing is New York so peculiar as in the
number and the success of the inventions that
commence and culminate within the thirteen
miles length and two miles breadth of island
upon which it stands. They reach and reform
society in all its relations ; and from a great
engine driving an iron mammoth through a
hell of sea and storm, to a eomplcx sewing
machine that performs the nicest offices
of a forest of female lingers, they are
wonders of skill and knowledge. The OW
thinking brains in which these marvels are
woven are daunted at nothing. They range
over the whole world of human suffering and
human need, alleviating, lightening, cheap
ening, and, simplifying pain, penury, toil,
natural obstacles, and the abstrusest myster
lee of impenetrable worlds—all, in one word,
but the Creel Secret—the Hereafter itself.
We cease to wonder that we have achieved so
vast a triumph over so vast a rebellion as we
study such trophies of human intelligence.
We only wonder that it should have taken so
hmg. _And as - we look upon what is now
a part of the Past, ire realize a mighty pre
paration for the Future, and again wonder
if any rower is Willing to tempt, much less to

THE PRESS.-PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY', ATTGITST 1, 1865:
.on this continent in which all the best forms
of government, and all the mighty problems
of the age will be tested. Holding what we
have saved and gained, and making it stronger
with every hour, we shall be powerful to ad
vance our standards into other regions, and
may leisurely devote our energies to those
Pursuits which live in . 2 abeyance during
a period of internal disquietude. From
such a focus, where so much is -col
lected, digested, and classified, a blaze of
light must go out to all sections. Happily
New York can send little that is hurtful to
her distant relations. Her moral example is
SO hideous that it poisons herseff alone. And
surely she cannot much debase and disease
others, when all her great daily journals are
exposing the guilt of her public teachers,
and calling upon foreign or rather remote
auxiliaries for rescue and purification. But
from the great works and gifts of her think
ers, writers, inventors, explorers, philan
thropists, and men of affluence, the Ameri
can people will gather abundant and lasting
good.
I went to the New York Hotel last even
ing, to return the call of Hon. James:L. Orr, of
South Carolina. Nowhere else could such a
sight have been presented—no Where but in
New York. I had known that hotel in days
gone by ; when it was the resort of the creme
de la creme of the Democracy;'when Slidell,'-
Benjamin, Soule, Kentucky Preston, Georgia
Ward, South Carolina Maiming, Virginia Ma
son, Maryland McLane, and Florida Mallory,
wined and dined, and made platforms for the
" unahrills," under the roofs odorous with the
old vintages and Boman feasts of that noble

however, I emigrated to the Astor or the
Metropolitan. Last night I saw the New York
Hotel for the lint time in many years. It is
still- claimed to be the Democratti "head
quarters," and many of the former leaders
were certainly there. They bad been absent
on a sort of four-years' excursion, and - were
only now returning to their former haunts.
In plainer language, many of the leaders of
the rebellion have quartered at the New York
Hotel. The arrival-book Was fast filling up
with their names, and-I noted the familial - ca
lig,raphy of the F. F.'s from nearly all the
"erring sisters." I saw the "gentle butchers,"
too. Well-dressed and fresh shaved, they
were a most courtly gathering. But what
is there in the expression Of a man who

your kindliness, and chills you into coldest

even in thought! but I could net restrain
thinking of the difference between the men
who ask, and those who are asked for pardon;
the reluctance of the one to volunteer com

to offer full forgiveness. The necessity as
well as the justice of penitence makes little
impression when it fails to produce a conquest
of prejudice and a longing for roadmission
upon the rejected blessingsof the Union and
the violated duties of the citizen. It may be
that tied has ordained that we shall only se

KNOXVILLE, TENN., July 22, 1:333
I ant Plappy to say that, in . spite of many
drawbacks, the change for the better in this
country, since I visited it in October last, has
been very great. There are many, things here
yet which are very unpleasant; but so is it
with the ocean after a violent storm, the
waves are still high and threatening, but the
experienced mariner knows that they cannot

.
munity. There are hard feelings existing he
tween the returning soldiers and those who,
in former times, have persecuted them and
their families; there is great satisfaction
among many of those who have lOst then' no
groes. The crops are likely to be good, but
very limited, on account of a want of labor
and horses at the time they were put in. Sol
diers arc still stationed hero, for tho protec
tion of the country; and, as they have not
been paid for some time; - they are strongly
templed to supply their wants by drawing
upon the citizens without a proper return.
Yet it is very certain that, in spite of all these
evils, the problem of inaugurating a new and
better era for the South is being solved.
.Ameng those who in the hand of Providence
are the instruments of carrying on this work,
Governor Brownlow occupies, of course, a
very prominent place. One of his that acts in
assuming the reins of Government was to
issue an arrest for the bank officers and State
officers, and the recovery of the archives of
:the State, and of about - $500,000; the latter
being part of :the amount of which the school
fund VaS robbed. The Governor has shown
his conndence in the credit of tha aevern
ment by investing itu Jay Cooke in seven
,,A,Zoß, telling those who claimed part of it
under.arious pretences that it belonged to
the children of Tennessee, and, to them it
shouldbe secured. Anothermeasure deserving
of note is the enforcing of the franchise act, in
order to counteract the efforts of those who
bad banded together with a view of resisting
the law. 7 have myself seen the letter in which
General Thomas promises his ready co-opera
tion in executing this measure. Next, I would
refer to the fact that, in accordance with a
late act issued by the Legislature, Governor
Brownlow has commissioners, clerks, sheriffs,
and magistrates in all counties of rebel pro
clivities, and has thus set the civil machinery
in motion, to the great joy of every loyal man.
Frmu these acts and measures, and from
others like: these, it plainly appears that, if
Tennessee is yet in a somewhat unsettled con
dition, there is much in her late history that
is preparing for her a brighter future. Much
has been said about a bill empowering county
courts to bind out the children of free per
sons of color at their pleasure. There is;
however, nothing objectionable about the
hill. Among the blacks, as well as among the
'whites, many eases occur in which, after this
decease; of one- of the parents the children'
pro - re perfectly lielplesSi In such Cases it is
.bsolutely necessary that the county should
take care of them ; and it is dinicnit to sec
why complaint should be made, when the
children of poor colored:people arc treated in
the same way as the children of poor white
Persons arc. In either case, bond and security
has to be given for the good treatment of the
children. - X.

NUMBER OF THE FORCES ON EACH SIDE, AND NAMES

The Life of our Soldiers, and their Dangers
on the Barren Western Wilds.
Straggling despatches have been published,
within the past two or three months, an
nouncing troubles " on the plains," massacres
of inoffensive emigrants and stage passengers,
and attacks ou isolated military posts. They
came so briefly, and so few and far between,
that they excited no great attention, mill
Monday, when an account of a fight near Tort e .
Laramie was published, detailing the defeat
of a marauding party of Indians. It is,
then, only within the last two or three
days that the general public have even
imagined that there was a combined hos
tility on the part of the Indians who prowl
along our far-reaching Western frontier.
Since there is, and sines there is every
likelihood of a . war, in which those who
provoked it will be either severely pun
ished or entirely exterminated, it will be
interesting to give an idea of the country
fought over and the importance of the con
tending parties. It is important that these
savages, Who have no regard for either honor
or life, despite the romance a Cooper, or in
later days it Robinson, may have woven around
theme; should be effectually quieted. Until
they are, the grand Pacific Railroad, which
will be built sonic of these days, could never
be of use without stationing thousands of
guards along its immense line, at vast, and to
any single railroad company, impossible ex

West or journeys to the great mines Of mineral
wealth which are being discovered every day
in Utah, Montana, and other Territories is now
so dangerous on some of the prominent roads
as to require an escort of soldiers with every
train and with every stage.

try, including all those parts of the Territo
ries of Idaho, Dacotah, Nebraska, and Kansas,
Territories lying between the Platte River
and the forks of the Kansas on the south, the
Missouri River on the east, the Upper Missouri
on the north, and the grand hills which diver
sify the southern portion of Idaho Territory
on the west. -Here there is a collection of
buttes, canons, peaks, and creeks, which
afford secure fortresses for the Red men, from
which they can come with death in their
lances to attack the frontiers.
By the way, this term "frontiers,'" in this
connection, Is a very shadowy one, although
it is generally taken to mean the very outer
most ripple of the great wave of civilization
rolling over the wild grassy or wooded plains
from the civilized east. But since the massa
cre on the Minnesota border, the swift ven
geance which followed it in the execution of
the Indian murderers at Mankato, and the
disposition of troops made on the forts com
manding all approaches in that direction, such
scenes have not been re-enacted. The preda
tory tribes have wandered 'across the Upper
Missouri, and found at the stations on the
Pacific Telegraph road ; on the road to Santa
Fe and its branches from Fort Riley and Conn-.
eil Grove westward, and on the route to Salt
Lake City, thence over the mountains to Cali
fornia, many opportunities to gratify their
taste for the white mans blood.
THE DISPOSITION °POUR TROOPS
All along the Upper Missouri, which courses
in a northwesterly direction through Dacota.h
Territory, nettling on the bluffs that here and
there skirt its banks, at the bends and at the
confluence of most of its branches, even to the
Yellowstone in the northeastern corner of
Idaho, these forts are fully garrisoned and
provided with cavalry, whose business it is to
scurry the plains and keep off all intruders
from Minnesota's western boundary. As the
Miens arc quite as likely to go. south of the
Platte as to stay between it and the Upper
Missouri, (for the Santa Pe road offers as many
inducements as the Omaha and Salt Lake City
road,) we ilifd them on that road, and it is only
a few days since we heard of a grand war pow
wow being held on the Republican fork, and a
little before, of a large body of Lfdians, with
hostile intentions, marching across the same
fork en route to the Platte country. Troops
are, therefore, found on the western plains of
Kansas as well as well as along the Salt - Lake
city roan, which follows the Windings of the
Platte for hundreds of miles. The exact num
ber thus scattered over the long frontier, from
We r:enowstone to 'the Kansas, we have no
means of Stating, but we have seen it put clown
by many authorities at 30,000 men. This is a
small number for such apparently herculean
work ; but, when it is remembered that there
are scarcely more -than 250,000 Indians-in the
whole West, and that not more than one-fifth
or one•sixth of these are hostile, it is evident
that our contingent is enough. One soldier is
calculated to be a match for half a dozen of
the rod men, with his improved facilities for
- warfare, and the calculation it far surer than
that made by our Southern brethren at the
opening of the war. Along the stage and tele
graph roads the troops are stationed in num
bers varying from half a company to some
times one or two regiments, according to ne
cessity; a peculiarly risky location. The forts,
of course, have their proper garrison. In ad
dition to these men, strong picket forces are
necessary, for stock must be carefully herded
trains, stages, emigrants, etc., escorted, anti
scouting parties, expeditions, etc., sent in
Search of the barbarous and cunning foe.
THE LIFE Or THE NOLDIF:IIS--TRE. DANCER. TREY
BRAVE.
Of course, service in the barren wilds of the
West, against such enemies, is the most irk
some and dangerous possible—more unplea
sant, probably, than campaigning was against
the rebels in the late war. In Kansas, espe
cially, sow Of the trials our soldiers starer
are peculiarly trying. A correspondent tells
ns :
" The soldiers mostly live in holes dug* in
the banks of the streams, upon which they
camp. This cellar being covered with poles
and earth, with a gunny sack for a door, torms
a cool, though dark, damp, mid unhealthy re
treat from the burning sun and heated winds,
which blow clouds of dust and sand from the
desert pitting. Finer houses for heathEllanCV,
hospitals, &c., are sometimes built of `adobe'
(snn-dried bricks) or turf, which soon hardens
so as to make a durable building."
And again
I have just reached here, (Fort Lamed, Kan
sas—lie writes on the Bth inst.,) after a long and
somewhat dangerous journey over the 'vast
Plains which are covered_ with immense herds
of wild buffaloes, and haunted by wilder In
dians, whose murderous treachery necessi
tates the presence of the large military force
which is now operating on the frontier. The
incursions of the savages are very frequent.
Big Turkey Ranch was attacked to-day before
we passed. Several of our soldiers were killed

and the new-made graves at the ranches, told

of cavalry, and a3l in the stage being armed

resistance, death being the only alternative to
victory, as the blood-thisrty barbarians mur

Our principal enemies in the war, which is
even-now going on, are the tribes of Apaches,
Arrapahoes, Sioux, Cheyennes, Pottowatto
lilies, Pawnees, Blackfect, and Camanehes,
ntnehering between 40,000 and 45,000 men,
women, and Children ; or, as we have before
estimated, about one-fifth or one-sixth of the
entire Indian population of the West. The
strongest of these tribes are the Sioux, who
number, including those on the Platte and on
the Upper Missouri, at least 20,000 souls ; next
are the Illackfeet, about 8,000: The weakest of
all the tribes is the Apaches, which has no
more then four hundred people In Its lodges,
The Pottowattomies have between three and
four thousand.
i TUE SURE RESULT OF A WAR.
There has ever been a fatal destiny for every
race that 'dared to oppose the white. It has
wilted and withered under the Caucasian's
tenth. The Indians in the last two hundred
and fifty years have been driven far back from
the shores of the Atlantic, gradually growing
the While, less and less in number. But as
they grew weaker, they have grown prouder
too. As if it were a direct manifestation of
the favor of Providence for our race, this very
Pride has been the means of their destruction.
It brought about biekoring,s and dissensions,
and at last strife S and in
the Strife, the weaker
race went down to rise no more forever. Such
will be the result of the present contest. Sa
vages, the poor Indians arc blind to the gulf
they are striding to. When they reach its
edge and topple over, only then will all their
struggling for mastery cease, and their aspi
rations for renewed life dad power he stilled
in the graves of themselves and their race.
A CnAILLESTON DEAUTY.—The following is all
extract from the letter of a naval officer on
board one of the United States gunboats near
Charleston, S. C.:
I saw an angel a few days ago, in the shape
of a beautiful young lady, who came on board
with her father to take the oath. Without ex
ception, she was the most beautiful being that
1 ever had the pleasure to feast my eyes upon.
When 1 saw her come alongside, being officer
of the deck, I rushed to the gangway, and was
very attentive in seeing her safe over the
side, and waiting upon her on the quarter
deck. Her father wits engaged with the Cap
ant, and I took the opportunity to engage in
conversation with the chart - nor. I found her
rather modest and diffident, not having yet
made her debut in society, but she did very
well. 1 was at this time chewing tobacco,
which, of course, was very ungallant on my
h
part. She noticed it, and wat do you think 1
Why she remarked that " she had not been
able to obtain auy tobacco for a real long time,
and as for snuff, she had not had had a clip she
didn't know when." I, haVing a good ai"d,
w,
p o iece in my pocket, offered it to her, when;
with sparkling eyes and a beam of joy and de
light upon her countenance, she asked " if she
should have the whole of it." I answered with
a Mlle, "Certainly," When she took a ' g ood
sized mild, anti COMmenced chewing and Anit•
ting with the gusto of an able seaman. How
my idea of beauty valthhed Only a few
minutes before I was enchanted, and you can
better imagine my thoughtS and feelings after
that, than I can write theM. I suppose this
seems rather queer to von ; but many of the

Escape or Convicts from the Virginia

On Thursday morning about a o'clock, Jere

son, John Thacker, and Joseph Turner, five
convicts In the State penitentiaryvwere taken
out of the main building by order of the so-
Perintendent, and placed at work near the
gate, and - while there managed to make their
escape. A cavalry guard was at once sent In
search of the escaped convicts:
Yesterday morning, about half-pasta o'clock,
the body of a man was found floating in the
canal, near the Tredegar Iron - Works. The
body was fished out by persons living in the
vicinity, and was identified as that of Jere
miah Tibbets, one of the escaped copyists. A
number of bruises were visible on the face and
skull of the deceased. Whether Tibbets, after
his escape from the institution, got drunk and
accidentally fell into the canal and was
drowned, or was foully dealt With, is as yet a
mystery. Deceased was a middle-aged man,
and was sentenced to the penitentiary in 18ti,
for five years, having beta convicted of house
breaking.
Calvin Lawson, one of the convicts who es
caped on Thursday, was Eonyicted of burglary
in 1864, and sentenced to imprisomnent the
penitentiary for six years. John Thacker was
convicted of murder in the second digroe in
1801, and that being his third offence, lie was
sentenced to ten years' imprisonment. Law
son, Thacker, Turner and Harrison, are still at
large.
Milmcklevons Prank
[From the Petersburg Express, July 1.3.]
A most ingenious and mischievous trick was
practiced at the First Market yesterday. It
succeeded admirably in frightening a negro
out of his wits, and amusing those who Were
in the secret. Some young men, having per
suaded a neighboring grocer not to kill a rat
which had been secured the night previous hi
a large wire citge, proceeded to purchase the
largest melon that could be found in the mar
ket. It was immediately split open, great care
being taken to divide it with as muck preci
sion as a large case-knife and a skillful hand
Mild accomplish. The luscious, juicy pulp
Wile quickly removed and devoureil, the live
rat - deposited Within, and the two halves so
neatly and delicately united with woollen
pins that the most practised eye could not dis
cover the joint. The party then seated them
selves beside a pile 01 melons, and anxiously
awaited a customer, having put the me
lon-vender in full possession of all the par
ticulars, and apprised him of the mode in
which the joke was to be carried out. They
did not wait long for a customer. In less
than a minute a negro approached., and priced
the tempting fruit. Ifty cents choice,"
was the response. Negro declared the price
too high. Here's one just as large as any in
"at ile," said the guardian o quarter melo,
which you may have for a if you
will promise to eat it here, and give me a
slice." The proposition was no sooner made
than accepted, the money paid, and the melon
taken possession of. Borrowing a lingo knife,
the darkey squatted over his bargain, and at
one vigorous thrust severed the: melon. Out
jumpecithe rat, landing in the negro's bosom,
and up jumped the darkey (clapping his hand
over the rat,) and - put od at the top of his
speed. The crowd followed, and such cheer
ing, laughing., hooting., yelling, and hurrahing,
as was heard from the market-house to the
bridge at Pocahontas, never fell upon human
ears before. The rat bad literally gnawed
himself through the thick shirt of the darkey,
before the affrighted ebo could sufficiently re
cover from his surprise to ascertain what were
the mysterious contents of that "water
million,"as lie pronounced the word.
ALEMANDRIA LADY DROWNS HERSELF.—
The Washington Chronicle of Sunday has the
annexed.:
Yesterday, at 2 P. M., the steam ferry-boat
Fulton left her wharf at Alexandria for Wash
ington and when near - the coal-house, but a
short distance this side of the wharf ~ a young
lady from Alexandria, named Louisa Simpson,
remarked to the chambermaid: "It is so
warm ; I have a notion to jump overboard."
She went out on the forward dock and laid
her hat, veil, and handkerchief 011 the chain
box. A. colored man, engaged on tile boat,
was near her, and she asked - him if she was in
his way. He replied she was not. She then
stepped upon a sand barrel, which lacked six
or eight inches of being as high as the boat
railing, and jumped overboard. Captain
liam A. Poor was immediately called to, when
he reversed the motion of the boat as quickly
as possible, and threw out a floating plank for
the unfortunate girl, to grasp, and a. man,
whose name we were unable to learn, jumped
overboard to save her, if possible. lle, how
ever, was very weak, and came near drown
ing himself, so a floating board was thrown
info the river for him, which lie was unable to
reach. The heaving line was next thrown
out, and this he succeeded in getting hold of,
and was drawn on board. The lady, however,
drowned, all efforts in bar behalf proving
fruitless. The mother of this young lady, we
learn, keeps a grocery store on the corner of
Wolf and Water streets, Alexandria. About a
year since Miss Louisa eloped. with an army
officer to Philadelphia, without the knowledge
or consent of her mother. Some time since
Mrs. Simpson ascertained that her daughter
was in Baltimore. She went to that city,
found her and took her home, where they
lived a disagreeable life, it is said, in con
