SUMNER. We recently gave the views of Hon. TuATIDEUS STEvxxs, on " The Great Topics of the Hour," and to-day we lay before our readers extracts from the speech of lion. CHARLES SimwEß, delivered yes terday, before the Republican State Con vention held at Worcester, Massachusetts, of which important body he was president. As was expected, Mr. SUMNER reasserts his well--known opinions with more than usual emphasis. He bates no jot of his hatred of slavery. He yields nothing to . the political exigencies, With marvellous skill and fervor of language, and with a force of argument that proves the earnestness of the man, he pleads against "precipitate" action in the readmission of the...rebel States, and demands guarantees and condi tions for their future loyalty, as well as for the protection and real enfranchisement of the freedmen. Though not so .specific in his remedies as Mr. STEVENS, and by no means so favorable to an almost exception lesi. confiscation, Mr. SUMNER takes care to plant himself strongly against the resto ration policy of President Jorrnsox, and concludes by an urgent, but respectful, up ieal to the Executive. It is impossible, in telt a struggle as confronts us, to arrive at peaceful and solid settlement of the great iuestions in issue without considerable dif .rrence among men of a common organza ti .It is perhaps hotter that it is so, Hold, i vi in •n some things to views that do not ac.- cor with those of Mr. SUMMER, we feel that wilenever he speaks it is with the best and pilrest object, and that even when we cannot agree with him, we are always more or less instructed by his published reflections. It will be noticed that all he demands guards against a new rebellion ; he does not thirst for vengeance, and that although he is most impassioned in stating his views, he does not, as is too often the case, indulge in threats, This is the spirit that. will keep harmony in the ranks of the great "Union party, without which there is no safety or security for the future. To main tain unity of action will require perfect franknes.s mid mutual forbearance among the great minds to whom the people look for light and for leadership. And while it is right that statesmen should be sturdy in asserting and in holding to what they bc lieve, he sometimes does the most good who concedes a portion of his own themy to the convictions and experience of his compatriots. . THE CHOLERA AND SANITARY REGULATIONS. Although the latest foreign news an nounces that the cholera seems to be re ceding to its original localities, there seems to be a general intention upon the part of the Governors of our States and the Mayors of our principal cities to prepare, so that whether the epidemic comes or not a mode rate degree of safety will be guaranteed, and a moderate - degree of cleanliness attain ed. Massachusetts, 'through her Surveyor General, has already moved, closely follow ed by Maine, New York, and even Illinois, which ought to be protected a little, at least, by the great mountains and im mense rivers which lay between it and the Atlantic coast. In each of these States the Governor has, by special pro clamation, called public attention to the danger (immediate or prospective), and suggested. such preventives, etc., as ex perience has proven to be standard. But it is a remarkable fact that, while little towns and seeond-rate cities have, through their Boards of Health, went energetically to work to sweep their streets, whitewash their houses and fences, and cast out all their noxious garbage, great cities, where these precautions are ten times as neces sary—where the damage inflicted would be tar more terrific—are slow to act. Some have not yet acted at all. New York, secure in her pride as the metropolis, theoretically safe because salt water rolls up to her very docks, and careers around her on three sides, has adopted no sanitary measures of importance, although she needs them, we think, almost as much as did the famous Augean stable. On the other hand, Alba ny, and Troy, and Buffalo, have been all alive to their duty. Fences, and trees, and walls, have been made pure and white, much to the annoyance of patent-medicine men, whose flaring advertisements have been obliterated beneath the far more heallhful lime. Portland has not moved, While the borough council oflittle Woodstock has been advertising its health regulations in the local journal for two months past. Washington is like New York and Port land, and will, if its authorities do not take care, become as famous for magnificent dimases as for " magnificent distances." And the' ease has been the same here, for it is only yesterday that our city authorities discovered the existence of danger, if we judge of the extent of their 'knowledge by what they have displayed in their action. The Sanitary Committee of the Board of - Health reported to Councils that it was necessary to provide against the coming of the epidemic, of which the committee " had a well-grounded apprehension, based on its (the epidemic's) former history and progress.'' The measures adopted in the different localities arc of about the same character as those proposed by the committee, and their value depends entirely on their timeliness. "Former history".of the infection or con tagion shows us that it is extremely uncer tain and erratic in its progress. It may appear suddenly to devastate humanity, as it has done on the shorg of the Mediterra nean. It may disappear just as suddenly, to appear again unexpectedly in another and far-off place. It has done the first, if the report of its "recession" be true. But the recession or disappearance, no matter what, has often been very much like the lull in the ocean tempest. Strength is gathered in quiet and exerted none can tell where, until ruin and death mark the spot ; or else the storm dies away in the lull and is heard and felt no more. But in the present case, it is believed by our most emi nent medical authorities, that we will have no visitation this year, and they seek to prove their assertion by citing facts some called "indubitable," others " well ascertained." Taking the " recession" and the assurances of the medical authorities for granted, it is still necessary that the suggestions of the committee be carried out. The committee proposes to divide the city into districts, and to appoint a health agent in each, whose business it will be to inspect everything about which there is the least suspicion of evil. It will be his duty to see that open lots, streets, houses, and all their surroundings are scru pulously clean ; and in the performance of this duty he is compelled to visit each and every house in his district. The people are asked to assist the agent in his work, and to follow seatarn liygierde points, which the committee briefly, give. Surely,; such a plan is a good one if it can be carried out, and the committee seems to think so, for it only asps $2 0 , 0 00 for that purpose. Even if no cholera comes, it will make our city, and every city in which it may be tried,_ the cleanest in the world—garden cities in all but the parterres and vines. The dis trict agents will, of course, be the best-in formed men in private affairs, and a good many secrets of housekeeping, etc., will be revealed to tilem; but what of that if the city is secured either frog ;the cholera or from acres of filth? That sanitary:.regulations Wilravert Abe epidemic has been- proven a seore of tith6o, and that their absence invites it is equally as sure. With proper .quarantitie , regula tioua, which could oppose the entrance of the epidemic, even if they did not prevent it, and such regulations as those adopted yesterday,-Philadelphia will be spared the horrors !she has twice witnessed—once so ;terribly as to mahnwhat is now her Wrest park a reeking Potter's field, crowded with Corpses, unhonselled and unannealed. THE TRIAL OF WHIZ. The Prisoner Still too 11l to be Tried. WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.--Coloncl Chipman this morning read to the Military Commission a note, addressed to him by George West, Captain and Military superintendent, of the Old Capitol Prison, dated to-day, and en closing a communication from Dr. Ford, sur geon of the post, relative to the condition of Captain Wirz, in which he states that the Prisoner is somewhat better, but unable to leave his room to-day. The Commission being desirous of obtaining further information on the subject, despatched an orderly in quest of Dr. Ford, who, this morning, could not be found either at the Old Capitol or et hia residence. After a recess, the messenger returned, saying he could not find that gentleman. fir. Baker said he saw Capt. Wirz yesterday afternoon at four o'clock. His mind was evi dently much deranged, and he could not con centrate it on any subject. He (Mr. Baker) took hold of his limbs, which seemed entirely without strength. He held them up, and let ting them go, they fell like thpso of a dead person. The prisoner did not seem to have any control over himself. So far as he (Mr. Baker) was able to judge, Wirz seemed like a man broken up. - He supposed the prisoner was under the in flnence of opiates. Though Wirz might be able to come here to-day, the physical exer tion and mental excitement might again pros trate him and the Commission wouldhave to adjourn over ; but by adjourning aver now for few days, theprisoner might acquire strength enough to go on without further interruption. The defendant 'was most anxious that the trial should be brought to au end. In reply, to a question of the ,President of the Court, Mr. Baker said the prisoner WAS 1W Comfortable as he could be in the Old Capitol, and the officers were very kind to him. The Commission, owing to the sickness of the prisoner, adjourned till Monday, Septem ber lath. Official 'Vote of Maine.

PITELADELPHIA, September 12, 1261. 2b the Editor of The Press: A piece, entitled " The closing scene in the life of Governor Brough,t) has been exten sively copied into the papers. It is replete with "misstatements, furnished to the reporter of a Cleveland paper, without the consent or knowledge of the family, by one representing himself to be an "eye-witnus," when no one was present but the Governor's wife, sister, and children. In those moments he made no reference to political slanders, nor made any bombastic display of his feligien. I desire you to publish the following statement of the facts, and hope, that all papers which Copied the - first statement, will be so kind as to give place to the following strictly true account of the last moments of one whose memory is too precious to be Clouded over by falsehood. A Mamma Or Tan PAMILr. Governor Brough always paid respect to re ligion, giving to the church pecuniary sup port, and exacting from his children an ob servance of the Sabbath. He was the child of a pious mother. She trained him in childhood to commit to memory I.arge portions of Scrip turn which he could, in after life, quote with wonderful facility. At the beginning of his illness, and through out its course, he had a strong presentiment of death. Though sometimes hopeful, and always desirous of life yet he never felt san guine of recovery. When he first enter ed the house, on his return home, he ex claimed he r had come home to die," and several timmassured his oldest daughter that " she had come home to see her father for the Jest time." During the first part of his sick ness he seemed troubled in mind, and often inquired "Why was he called upon to suffer so terribly I Why should God so deal withhimi" But this was only for a short time. He became reconciled to his lot, and until his death ex pressed unwavering trust in God's wisdom and love. During the third week of his illness he was seized with a severe congestive chill, The physicans feared he would not -survive it. Calling his family around him he bade them all farewell, and expressed his hope of eternal life. At that time he stated he had not for twenty years laid his head upon his pillow without prayer to God. Ile had endeavored to perform all the duties of his administration in dependence upon God's wisdom, and there was not one act of his official career he could change or wish otherwise than it had been. He expre,Saed his belief in a Saviour ' and in e I his moments of intense suffering o ten called upon him in audible prayer. He described his feelings when sinking in the chill in these words : "I went down into the valley and sha dow of death; at first there was darkness, then all was as clear as sunshine." After-pass ing through a severe surgical operation, he said to his wife," The Almighty hand sustained me; I was saved only by that power." Two weeks after the first he had a second chill, in which he became wholly unconscious. As he sank into insensibility his last utterance was those grand words from Holy Writ: " For I know that nip Redeemer liveth, and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth; and though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall-I see God." Thspatienee andresignation were as remark able as his care and thoughtfulness of those around hlm. No impatient word escaped his lips, and often, in noticing the tears mid anxiety of his family, he would remind them, "God's will must he done." In speaking one day to his daughter of some business plans, he remarked, "I will carry this out if lam ever Permitted toget off of this bed." She ex claimed, " Oh, father you are getting hater, and. OUT prayers and labors shall keep ynu with us; we cannot let you go." Ile replied, " Daughter, I am as anxious to live as you are to have me ; but God's will, not mine, must be done." Hethen described the course his disease had taken, and truly predicted how it would terminate. Thoughhis sufferings were intense, he never forgot the well-being of others, wish ing those around him not to on over-taxed in waiting upon him. A few days before he died, observing the pale, anxious face of his wife, he exclaimed, with tearful eyes, " Poor wife ! would that I could bear this burden for her!" On the morning the physicians intended to amputate his foot, he called his family, about him, and gave them his last charges, fearing he might sink, after the operation, too rapidly to speak again. Ile said his life had not been free from errors; he had confessed his sins to God, and believed they were pardoned. lie had endeavored to deal justly and honorably with all men, and lie did it without fear, trusting that the same good God who bad cared for him here would take him to himself : He enjoined upon his children to meet him in eternity. lie then requested his sorsin-law, Rev, T. M. Cunningham, to pray with him, making audible responses through out the prayer. After the remainder of the family left the room, he conversed long and earnestly with his son-in-law upon his hope anti faith asking him to pray for him. He said "there is a wonderful power in prayer, and I want you to stand by me through this operation, and pray for me, and in case of death, pray for me as long as my soul lingers in say body." As is well known, incisions were substituted for amputation. This was on Fri day morning, and he did not become entirely conscious until the following Monday evening, when he was told he must die. He requested every one but his wife, children, and sister to leave the room. He was too much exhausted to speak, except to say, "God bless you" to each one, with a parting embrace twice re peated. His sister asked hint the question, " Is the Saviour precious to you—do you trust him ' and feel that you are going to be with him?" lie responded "yes.- llis wife asked "Do yon love God and trust him?" He answered, "Indeed, Ido !" His daughter told him "she WM praying Jesus would take hint safe home." lie exclaimed, "Thank you, daughter, and God Wass you!" ;then became unconscious of all about him until the next morning at eight o'clock, when being asked if he knew his daughter, he replied in the affirm ative. He then made signs for his son-imlaw to pray. Ile twice responded to the prayer, and these were his last utterances. After the prayer he took Mr. Cunningham's hand, and seemed to try to thank him, but he could not speak. Mr. Cunningham then spent some time in repeating passages of Scripture, to which he earnestly listened. Ito again sank into unconsciousness, from which he did not rally until about live minutes before he died, when he opened his eyes and diced them upon his wife, as if desirous to speak, but he could not. His eyes were full of heavenly bright nas ; happiness shone upon his countenance for a moment, then lie closed his eyes and peacefully fell asleep. The Women of the South. Governor Tirowidow thus speaks of the Southern women in his Paper, the li. - 110XV1110 Whig: "From the commencement of the rebellion until now, the devil and the women of the South have been the ablest allies the cause of treason had in the field. The influence of the women, backed tip by his Satanic Majesty, filled the ranks of tee rebel armies, and gave ardor and endurance to the hen-pecked men that entered the service. Southern women even petitioned the rebel Congress to enact the law of eon -,.;ription, so as to force all in the service. Thiengli the influence which women had, themands were forced into the field, and thence to their graves t who never would have left home.. Playing into the hands of the devil, by ibus filling his ranks, they had his approval all the time. Wives gave up their husbands, sisters their brothers, and mothers their sons—willing, nay, anx i ous to immolate their lives to the Moloch of war. The women were willing to wear homespun ; ready to dis pense with the luxuries of table Or toilet; ready to fling . all their jewelry into the Con federate crucible o ready to unsex themselves for the cause of the devil and the Confede racy?! NATIONAL TOBACCO CONVENTION.—The 'Na tional Tobacco Convention, under .the au f,piees of the Kentucky Board of Agriculture, Atilt be held at Louisville on the second Wed nesday of September, The Object of this con. Mention is stated as follows! The prime object of the convention is to get together, from all sections of the Union the practical m Inds of trade, with a view to such moil bleat ion of the present excise law, so far us t obacco is concerned, as will eventuate in the passage, by the next Congress, of a thorough and well-digested plan of taxation that will yield the largest possible amount of let - cline to the Government, with the least em barrassment to culture and manufacture of the article. JUDGE HOLT, His Reply to Montgomery Blair, THE CHARGES OF THE LATTER AGAINST THE FORMER CONSIDERED AND DENIED. Blair's Charges against Holt's Manage ment of the War Office Proved. to be Calumnies. TILE MARYLAND STATESMAN PLACED IN AN UNENVIABLE LIGHT, WASHINGTON, September 13,1885. n the Editor of The Press: I beg a place in your columns while bestowing A brief notice on certain passages arraigning my past official action, which are to be found in an elaborate and carefully-prepared speech made by the lion: Montgotnery Blair, late Postmaster General, at Clarksville, Md., on the 26th Of last Month. In the course of a severe censure of the secretaries of State and of War— who, from their known ability, loyalty, and eminent faithful public services, certainly need no defence at my hands—Kr. Blair thus proceeds t The didlittnee of Mr. Seward with the Con federates and the convention committees from - Virginia, up to the fall of Fort Sumpter, was but aprolongation of the agreement made with Boris by order .of Buchanan, under the signa tures of his Secretaries of War and of the Navy, that no aet of UM would take plaee Ott the part of the United States during his term. This gave the Confederate General Beauregard an opportunity to build batteries under the guns of Fort Sumpter, which would not have neon done had not its cannon been masztrif log treaty stipulations. He (Mr. Stanton) apprised Mr. Seward of this treaty of the Mar and Navy Departments to make no resistance to the policy of dissolving the Union, &c. Again, when speaking of myself, Mr. Blair Says: Simultaneously with his refusal to permit succor to Fort Sumpter and his armistice with the rebel Secretary he refused, iirc. Now, so far as I am implicated by this lan guage, I have, of course, personal knowledge, and upon this knowledge I declare myself guiltloss of this Charge, in the whole and in all its parts, and my conviction is complete that the distinguished gentlemen eriminated with me are alike innocent. That a statesman supposed to be well in structed in public affairs., and in the history of his country, and who, from the high position he has occupied, must be expected to have an ho norable solicitude for the protection of the fair fame of the public Men laberiCal4ly engagedin administering the Government, should, with out provocation, have brought against them an accusation so dishonoring, and so utterly groundless, has, I think, excited emotions of mingled surprise and sorrow even in circles hitherto most friendly to the ac cuser. But, to make my denial still more explicit and detailed, I affirm most solemnly that I never made, or was in any manner a partY to, an " arniistice with the rebel secre tary." 1 never signed, or was in any way a party to an "agreement that no act of war 1 1 would take place on the part of the United States during, Kr. Buchanan's term ;" nor do believe that any such agreement with Davis, or with anybody else, signed by the Secretary of the Navy, was authorized by Mr. Buchanan, or ever existed. I assert, most positively, that there never was a day, during the period referred to, when the President was not per fectly free to perform his duty, aint.his whole duty, in defence Of the forte and other property of the United States, and to open fire from the forts whenever, in his judgment, their safety demanded it. There never was an hour when the guns of Sumpter were "muzzled" by any "agree ment," or compact, on the part of the Preei. 7 , dent or his Secretaries, or by their authority, or either of them. That the batteries around Sumpter were not fired upon while in course of construction was because the President shrunk from the dread responsibility of inau gurating civil war, and deemed forbearance his duty ; not because he was restrained by any agreement or understanding whatever. Looking at the glorious results of the war, and remembering how wondrously Providence has dealt with us in its progress, and how sublimely the firing upon, instead of from, Fort Sumpter, served to arouse, instruct and unite the na tion, and to inflame its martiaband patriotic spirit, we stand awe-struck and mute, and that man Would be bold indeed, who, in the presence of all that has occurred, should now venture to maintain that the policy of for bearance was not, atthe moment, the true pa hey. Having made this full! denial, I call, and I think the country will unite with me in calling on Mr. Blair to produce that "agreement," that "armistice with the rebel Seeretary,” or offer some satisfactory evidence that it exists, or has existed. The eharge that he makes is one of such extreme gravity that, exalted as has been hiS official position, he can scarcely ex pect the American people to pass judgment Upon it against public men long tried and honored in the national service, solely on his unsupported declaration—especially as that declaration does not profess to rest on any personal knowledge. I am quite aware that among the disloyal men who at that period had verbal and writ ten communications With the President, there were three who alleged—rather by implication than directly—that in some Interchange of as surances which had taken place between certain South Carolinians and the Prost . dent, the latter had given " a pledge," that, for a time—having relation to the proceedings of the convention of that State —he would "not reinforce the forts in Charleston harbor, or change their military status." When it is borne in mind that the men making this imputation were then en gaged in daily preparation for the overthrow of the Government, and have since actively Supported the rebellion, it is hardly neees.. sary to say, that on their testimony, the Ame. rican people would be slow to condemn any, even the humblest of their officers. When, however, this charge was brought to the notice Of the President, he promptly and decidedly repelled it as wholly untrue, in a letter under date of 20th of December, 1860, addressed to I Robert W. Barnwell, James ll.l4.lams ' and James L. Orr ; and that it was untatiie, I have never entertained a doubt. The policy, however, of the President and of the War Department, on this question, was not left to conjecture, but was openly an nounced and published to the country, at the time. When Isaac. W. Bayne, calling himself a Commissioner from South Carolina, arrived at Washington, ho sought, through Benjamin Fitzpatrick, S. it. Mallory, and John Slidell, then United States Senators, to obtain from the Government a pledge that "no reinforce xnents should be sent to Fort Sumpter," and that " the public peace should not be distur .bed by any act of hostility toward South caro lina.” On the 22d January, 1861, I, as .Secretary of War, in reply to this, addressed, by direc tion of the President, a communication to those Senators, from which the following is an extract I In regard to the proposition of Colonel Hayne, 'that no reinforcements should be sent to Fort Sumpter in the interval, and that the public peace will not be disturbed by any act of hostility, toward South Carolina," it is impossible' for me to give you any such as surances. The President has no authority to enter into any such agreement or understand ing. As an executive officer he is simply bound to protect the public property as far as this may be practicable, and it would he a manifest violation of hit duty to place him self under engagements that he would not perform this duty, either for an indefinite or a limited period. At the present moment it is not deemed necessary to reinforce Major Anderson, because he makes no such request, and feels quite seenre in his position. Should his safety, however, require reinforcements, every effort will be made to supply them_ In regard to an assurance from the President "that the public peace will not be disturbed by any act of hostility towards South Caro lina," the answer Will readily occur to your. selves. To Congress, and to Congress alone, belongs the power to make war; and it would be an act of usurpation for the Executive to give any assurance that Congress would not exercise this power, however strongly it may be convinced that no such intention exists. The views and determination here expressed were never departed from. DOC 3 this look like an "armistice with the rebel Secretary I" Mr. Blair, continuing his line of accusation, says • It was in (Were - itcc to him (Secretary Sew ard) that General Scott recommended the. surrender of Fort Sumpter, because the Gene la], during the previous Administration had wished to reinforce it and had been refused per mitsion to do so by Hr. Hoff, Men Secretary of War. The following correspondence will show the groundlessness of this accusation: WASHINGTON, August 51,1865. Lieutenant General Winfield Sean GalunlAl ! In a speech delivery by HOn, Montgomery Blair at Clarksville, MU., on the 25th inst., the following language occurs : "It was in deference to him (Mr. Seward) that General Scott recommended the surrender of the fort (Sumpter), because the General, during the previous Administration, had wished to reinfore it t ond had been refused permission to do so by Mr. 80, then Secretory of Wdr. arr. Ifolt, now the head of the Bureau of Military Jus tice, was then also a power in Washington. Whilst Secretary of War, as already stated, he refused to let Gen. Scott reinforce Sumpter" ae, As I am sure that you would be unwilling for the authority of yourgreatname to be used in the infliction of injustice °natty man, public or private, I ask that you will be so good as to state the part I bore on the question of rein forcing and . provisioning Sumpter, which so much occupied the attention of the Govern ment and country toward the close of Mr. Bu chanan's Administration. I had almost daily conferences with you on this and kindred sub jects, ankh am certain that with all my wishes and purposes you were made well acquainted. I was gratified then to believe, as I am now to .remember, that upon this absorbing question we were perfeetly agreed. No man rejoiced more than I did when the Star of the West was ordered with munitions and provisions to Sumpter. Subsequently—but, as it turned out, too late, for the vessel had already sailed —this order was countermanded by the Presi dent, On the sth March, 1861,16. replying to Jacob Thompson, and in referring to this countermand by the President, I made this explanation : " The countermand spoken of was not more cor dial:l' sanctioned by the President than It was by General Scott and myself. It was givem, not be cause of any dissent from the order on the part of the President_ but because of a letter received that ' from Major Anderson stating', in effect, that he regarded himself as secure In his position; anti yet more, because of .intelligence which, late on Saturday evening, reached the Department, that a heavy battery had Inca erected among the sand THE PRESS.-PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1865. hillhat the entrance to Oliarleston harbor, which. would probably_ destroy any unarmed vessel: toed Such WAS the loitar of the West) whlch , mlght at temPt to make' its way up to Port Bumpier. This important Lutbrmation satisfied the Government that, there was no_present necessity for sending re inforcement's, and that when sent they should go, not In a vessel of commerce, but or war"." This language was published in the National Intelligencer on the day mentioned, and was probably read by you. I have yet to learn that its strict accuracy has been questioned by anybody having knowledge of the facts. Toping that the manner in which" your nanle is connected with Dir. Dlaies statement, and the completeness of your information on the question raised, will sufficiently apologize for the trouble I give in thus addressing you, I an, very respectfully and sincerely, yours, J. 110 LT. Wesm reinT, N. Y., Sept. 4, ISO. Hon. Joseph, Holt, Sc.: Dunn Sin: In reply to your inquiry, it gives me great pleasure to say that during the last two OT three months of Mr. Buchanan's Ad ministration, that is, from the moment (ife , cember 31) you became Secretary of War, being myself then in Washington as Generaldn-Chief of the Army, and daily in official counnunica tion with you, I found „you a steady and effi cient opponent of Secetsionism, and proinUt, is far as permitted, in Common with the non- Mr. Stanton, appointed Attorney General nine days before, and the lion. Mr. Dix, made Secre tary of the Treasury about January i 3, in doing everything in your power to preserve and vin dicate our happy Union. With great esteem, yours truly, WcarIELD SCOTT. As throughout the seventy days that I had charge of the War Department, General Scott, as General-in-chief of the army of the United States, had, from our constant and frank com munications with each other, perfect know ledge of all my views and wishes in re gard to Sumpter and the <other prominent military interests of the country, his strong language in commendation of my entire conduct I trust, be accepted as a Bug:e'er& refutation of Mr. Pdairla Calm nious imputation. While all the plauS urged for the purpose by patriotic officers and men could not, of course, be attempted, it is never theless certain that General Scott and Myself were perfectly agreed alike in our anxieties and in our labors, to effect the reinforcemdnt of Sumpter ; and, as the result proved, we were only - finally prevented from so doing by the - firing into the Star of the West, through in formation treacherously conveyed to the rebel authorities at Charleston by Jacob Thompson, a member of Mr. Buchanan's Cabinet. As the specific averments of my letter to. General Scott, in regard to these Matters,wOre within his knowledge and are not controvert-' Cd by him, his reply must be taken as an ad missiOn of their truthfulness. With this full and warm approval of my whole conduct by this great CaPtain ally patriot on the one hand, and the criticisms of Mr. Blair on the other, I submit the question. between us to the people, who have lived through these events ; and I do so without any uneasiness as to the issue, lint Mr. Blair further says of me : " Simultaneously with his refusal to permit succors to Sumpter, and his armistice with the rebel Secretary, he refused his sanction to 'a bill introduced into the Senate by Mr. _Preston Xing to authorize the Union men in the aouth, to organize Themselves wafer the authority of the United Stales, refusing thus to allow them to defend themselves." Having no remembrance whatever of the subject matter of this charge, I addressed a note to the Hon. Mr. King, asking what had been my action in regard to it, to which he re plied as follows Niiw Mita, September 4,131;5. Hon. ,Toseph Holt _• REAR Sin : Your letter of September 1 is re ceived. Mr. Blair drafted a bill which he de sired :lioultt be considered in the Senate. I deemed your Opinion respecting its provisions essential, and 1 submitted the bill to you. You read it, and we conversed respecting it. You did not think well of the bill, and I did nothing further respecting it. Yours, respectfully, PRESTON KING. It would seem from this reply to my inquiry that it was not Mr. King's, but Mr. Blair's bill that I " opposed"—a fact which may help to explain the condemnation under which I have fallen. Amid the multiplicity of cares which then occupied my mind, and the vast variety of suggestions looking to the public defence, then made and discussed by patriotic statesmen and citizens, it is not at all surprising that this particular measure should have escaped my recollection. I do not, however, hesitate to ac cept the statement of Mr. Blair ;that the bill proposed " to authorize the Union men in the South to organize themselves under the an thorny of the United States ;" and the state ment of Mr. King, that after conference with him, I "did not think well of the bill." It may be remarked, in passing, that Mr. King him self fails to state that lie "thought well" of the bill, or really desired it to be considered by the Senate. His declaration is that Mr. Blair " desired that it should be considered by the Senate;' and, - inasmuch as, after the bill had been read and discussed between us, he "did nothing further respecting it,', is it not fair to infer that he acquiesced in. the views that I presented! Is It to be SUp. posed that a statesman of his reputation for courage and loyalty would have renounced a measure which he deemed wise and de manded by the public safety, merely because the temporary head of the War Depart ment " did not think well 91 of it I Sueh proposition is past belief, and it ma - v safely be claimed, therefore, that Mr. King himself should have been embraced in this indictment against me, as an offender who had not the sa gacity or patriotism to "think well " Of Mr. Blairs bill. At the period mentioned, neither the Government nor the people, of the loyal States believed that the time had arrived for Organizing the militia with a view to -esist ing the then threatened rebellion. The hope was still cherished that the calamity of civil war would be avoided ; and this hope, though growing fainter every day, continued until the bombardment of Sumpter. The organizing of the Union men of the South, contemplated by Mr. Blair, implied, of course, that they shatild be furnished'with arms by the United States Government. Now, it is notorious that before and about that time the forts and arsenals of the United States throughout the South were violently and lawlessly seized by the people themselves, and the arms turned against the Government; and no doubt can be en tertained that if arms had been voluntarily furnished to " the Union men of the South," the same use would have been made of them. It cannot be denied that the so-called " - Union men" I aid themselves do w - n like so many rushes under the storm of treason then sweeping over the cotton;States. Overwhelmed as they were by numbers, and yet more by the satanic fury of the traitors, they did not lift a hand or a finger in defence of the United States arsenals and forts seized in their presence, and had it , been practicable to transport arms to them, from the meagre and insufficient supply left at the disposal of the Government, they would at once have been wrested from them, or they" themselves would have been obliged to em ploy them in the rebel military service. It is a part of the sad and humiliating history of the times that throughout the war, and in the bloodiest of its battles, these " Union men " were forced to tight, and did light, against our Bag as steadily and as bravely as the most ran corous of the rebels. In view of the condition of things then existing in the South, it would have been an act not only unwise. , but suicidal, on the part of the Government, to have put arms into the hands of "Union men" in the vain hope that they would thereby be enabled or induced "to defend themselves." So doubtless, thought, or at least feared, the en lightened patriot and statesman, Mr. King, or he would not have so readily abandoned Mr. Blair's bill. . Yet again Mr. Blair says of me: 4 ; lie had, while Postmaster General, written and pub lished a letter dated 30th of November, 1800, justifymg the rebellion," and he then makes extracts from this letter, with a view of sup pOrting the interpretation thus given to it. The subjoined correspondence is submitted as disposing of one branch of this charge : WASHINGTON, Sept. 8, 1861 Cot. Thomas P. Troll: DEAR SIR: Tile Hon. Montgomery Blair, in a speech recently delivered by him at ClarkS ville, Maryland, when referring to myself, used this language : " He had, while Post. master General, written and üblished a letter dated 30th of November, 1800, justifying the re bellion." Mr.lllair then makes extracts from this letter, which WILS a strictly private and confidential one, and was published •wholly without my authority or knowle4ge. That it was thus surreptitiously published was made known at the time to many of my personal friends—yourself included—and I have reason to suppose that this fact was subsequently communicated by you—then occupying a re sponsible position In the Post Office Depart ment—to Mr. Blair, then Postmaster General. I would thank you to state whether you made such a communication to him, and, if so, under what circumstances. Very regpeetfully, your obedient servant, J. Rom WASurxerOx CITY, Sept. 9, 1861 7b the lion. J. Holt: DEAD. Sin: I have a distinct recollection that on the publication of the letter referred to in your note of Bth instant, I had, inciden tally, a conversation with you on the subject, in which you told me that the letter was a private one, addressed in reply to a clergy man of Pittsburg, Pa., and was published without your consent or his. You at the same time expressed to me your-strong wish that every pretext should be removed by the peo ple of the North for the rebellious spirit then manifesting itself among Southern politicians. Afterward, when the publication of that let ter was mentioned in my presence, I general ly took occasion to state what I knew about it; and it being made the subject of conversa tion one day in the Postmaster General's room, between Mr. Blair and two or three others, when I WaS Present, I explained the circumstances or publication and was there fore surprised when recently I observed in the Clarksville speech. of Mr. Blair a state ment that the letter was published by you. I am, respectfully, your obedient servant, . Taos. P. Timm Tbifi reply of Colonel Trott certainly leaves Mr. Blair without excuse Tor the declaration that the letter was " published" by me. It is true that it was written by ma ; but it is also true that it Was strictly confidential, and reached the columns of a newspaper, as I was assured, through a breach of faith, or misap prehension on the part of one in whose hands it had been placed for perusal only. Its tone was somewhat despondent, and its language marked by a freedom and warmth, inspired by the intimate relations existing between my correspondent and myself, and by the fearful apprehensions with which all our hearts were then oppressed. It was addressed to a personal friend, an eminent clergyman, with *Lein I had been in correspondence on public affairs, and who, to a largo influence, added a reputation for uncompromising loy alty. The purpose and hope of the • letter were, through his mind, to impress the minds of others, and thus to accomplish Something— even though it might he little—in the direc tion of a movement for the repeal of those laws, adopted in many of the Northern States, known as " personal litierty bills," end: which were so obnoxious tO the South, because there held te.be a violation. of the constitutional rightsi and obligations of the States. As these bills constituted one of the most powerful levers, by means of which the ignerant and deluded masses of the South Iliad been. moved to exasperation turd frenzy, it was believed that, could they be suddenly swept away, the wind might be taken ,out Of the galls of the conspirators, and they thus rendered incapable of bringing the people up to the point of armed resistance to the Go vernment. Hence, in the bope of alarming, as I conceived properly, the fears of the North., I stated, with emphasis, the fierce resentments of the masses of the South from this and kin dred causes ; the consequent extreme danger Or civil war, and the probability that such a war would result in a dismemberment of the Union. So thought and felt many of the wisest and truest men of the times; and had the course suggested been promptly pursued, it is rot at all certain that the war would have been inau gurated. At all events, the aim and spirit of the letter were patriotic and honorable, and neither in it, fairly interpreted, nor in any act or utterance of my life, can there be found the slightest trace of sympathy with the re bellion or its guilty authors, or the slightest foundation for belief that, in the event of a conflict of arms. I would not stand by the flag everywhere and tinder all circumstances, And to the end. Mr. Blair had no more reason for averring that this letter "justified the rebel lion" than be had for asserting that I had "refused permission to General Scott to rein force Fort Sumpter," In taking leave of this array of charges against myself and others, I May be par doned for saying that, during the trying and gloomy period preceding the ontbreak of-the war, while holding office, with such light as God gave me, and with such ited powers and opportunities as I pos.. sessed, I labored unceasingly alike to strength en the hands of the Government to meet the iinperulhig rebellion, and to unmask - and bailie the machinations of those conspirators, who, with perjury on their souls, were daily and nightly plotting the ruin Of the Government and country in whose service they were. Pro minent among the objects, then with Me subject of ceaseless anxiety, was the pro tection of the city of Washington • from an aimed organization known to have been formed for its seizure, and the seizure of the national arehiyes. This could only be dOne by the rapid concentration here of an ade quate military force—a result most diticult to accomplish, because of the careful manner in which our little army had been dispersed. Finally, however, by the. untiring, vigor and vigilance of General Scott, the effort was crowned with 'success. But no sooner did the troops, few in number it is true, but effective in organization and dashing in their appear ance, show themselves in the streets of Wash ington than the House of Representatives passed a resolution in the interests of the conspirators, calling on the President to make known by what authority, and for what purpose, he had collected a military force around the Capitol tit a time when the Repre sentatives of the beeple were deliberating within its walls. This resolution having been referred to me, on the 18th of February, 1861, I made a full report on it to the President, vin dicating the step taken as one previously recommended by myself as essential to the public safety. The following extract from the report, which was subsequently published by order of Congress, will. suffice to show the spirit of the whole : Impressed by these circumstances and eon siderations, I earnestly besought yon to allow the concentration at this city of a sufficient military force to preserve the public peace from all dangers that seemed to threaten it. .An open manifestation. On the part of the Ad ministration of a determination, as well as the ability to maintain the laws, would, I was convinced, prove the surest as well as the most pacific means of battling and dissolving any conspiracy that might have been organized. It was believed, too, that the highest and most responsible obligation resting on a President withdrawing from the Government was tO. secure to his successor a peaceful in auguration. So deeply, in my judgment, did this duty concern the whole country and the fair fame of our institutions that, to guarantee its faithful discharge, I was persuaded that no preparation could be too determined or too complete. The presence of the troops al luded to in the resolution is the result of the conclusion arrived at by yourself and Cabinet, on the proposition submitted to you by this Department. Already this display of life and loyalty on the part of your Administration has produced the happiest effects. Public con fidence has been restored, and the feverish ap prehension which it was so mortifying to con template, has been banished. Whatever may have been the machinations of deluded lawless men, the execution of their p e.eose has been suspended, if not altogether abandoned, in view of the preparations which announce more impressively than words, that this Ad ministration is alike able and resolved to transfer in peace to the President elect the authority that under the Constitution belongs to him. lint, after all., the best illustration of my status, as a loyal public man at the time al luded to, will probably be found in the vote of the United States Senate, on the question of advising and consenting to my appointment as Secretary of War, when my nomination was before that body. My views on the sorbing questions of the day were then well understood, as was the policy that tgoNvriacd my adrainistration of the War Department, which I had already conducted for some weeks. Many of the conspirators haying pre viouply withdrawn from the Senate, but thir teen Senators voted against my nomination. They were as follows : Eayard, Benjamin, Bragg, Clingman, Green Hunter, Certainly it camiot be neemary that I should tell the American people who these men are, or what have been their careers in connection with the rebellion 1 Could there be offered for their consideration a more conclusive record of loyalty than this negative vote on 'my nomi nation presents 1 I point to it with pride and triumph as a memorial of my faithfulness to duty which will endure when my defamers shall have passed away—a memorial that will abide any scrutiny to which it can now or here. after be subjected. It is to me a souroe of abounding consolation to know that all of the conspirators and wicked men who set this re bellion on foot, or who subsequently followed and maintained its bloody cause, not one has ever mistaken me for his friend, or the friend of his cause. Verily, the instincts of traitors are unerring! In February, 1881, I was denounced by Jacob Thompson, ex-member of • Mr. Buchanan's Cabinet, because, in co-operation with that illustrious old soldier and patriot, General Scott,l had attempted to reinforce Fort Sump ter; 1111 d now, in 1865, I am denounced by an ex-member of Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet, because, as he has alleged, by necessary implication, I not only did 71.0 i attempt to reinforce Fort Sumpter, but actually prevented General' Scott from doing so. The opinion is confi dently entertained that I shall suffer no more damage from this last denunciation than I did from the lira. J. HOLT. Tiro. SEWARD AND THE SODTHERNERS.—AWash ington correspondent gives a pleasant account of a call by several leading Southerners upon Secretary Seward, from which we take the fol lowing : "A desire was expressed by several that the Government would at an early day adopt a general amnesty. Mr. Seward said he hoped the States would all be in their appropriate places soon. For the present the Government must make sure work of preserving the peace of the nation. " Bliss, of Alabama, facetiously inquired if, in cases where parties did not have the twenty thousand dollars,making the thirteenth exception, the Government would make it up to them. " Mr. Seward replied that it would make ft np to there in kindness and good will, and the preservation of peace and quiet for themselves and their families. "lle made a delicate reference to the effort that had been made to assassinate •him, and :aid be would tell an anecdote. That when he learneil it was the intention of the South erners at Washington to pay him their re , spects, he stated to the friend who informed him that he would be at home this evening at eight o'clock. Re then notified Mr. Frederick Seward that lie would have a reception this evening. " 'Reception of whomV inquired he. " 'Of the rebels.' "'Unless it be a more agreeable reception of the rebels than the last one we had, I would prefer not to be preSent. , " F. 4 llre enough, he is not present ; but be is too unwell to be out GENERAL PAraioN.—The Richmond limes of to-clay takes occasion to beplaster with com pliments General 111.

The Harrisburg Telegraph says: Colonel. W. W. H. Davie, the Copperhead candidate for Auditor General, has now resumed full charge of the Doylestown Democrat, a newspaper which he has owned for many years, and *1:1611 heretofore and now sympathizes with the rebels. The peculiar force of the Demoorat, since Colonel Davis has returned to preside Over its columns, consists in asserting that the rebels have not been whipped; that they should be received back to the Union with all their rights restored ; that slavery is not and can never be abolished, and that, in justice to the rebels, the debt which they incurred in struggling for their "rights" is as legal as the debt which was plied on the lieople by the na tional authorities while waging a crusade on the people of the South ; and if the national debt is paid, so also must the debts of the Southern States be liquidated. According to Colonel Davis' own theory, the triumph of the Copperheads at the ballot-box would be to wipe out all the disgrace of the defeat of the rebels on the battlefield. The Doylestown Democrat takes this position, and W. W. H. Davis is the editor and proprietor of that pes tilential sheet. The recent extinguishment of nearly three-fourths of a million of the State debt, brings down the amount of its liabilities to ipAgg4,891.74.
