Yeslcrility, Chcstor county mnnifi'Med its tlcvotitm to the Union nnd nppreciiition of the ull important nnturc of tho iip)roticliing election, liy one of the largest muss meetinpi of its pettpiu ever known to congregate witliin the county for any po.lilicnl purpoae. Tlie giitlitrin was held at Oxford, and the whole day wus appropriated to the occasion. The sturdy yeoniunry were asscnilded from till pur's of the county, and showed ly their animation, cheerfulness), and enthusiasm, how much they have at heart the re election of our patriotic Governor. The (special train on the West Chester Huilrond, which left Philadelphia aliout 8 o'clock, A. M., was largely tilled, nd arrived upon the ground liet'ore noon, at which time the niectitir had I "' cu ,rH ' '-' , the li 1 ot lit est b; en organized. Another special tiain left 'liiliulelplua nn hour subsequent, containing Major-tirncral Butler and lady. Lieutenant Colonel Kinsmnn, of General liutler's staff, many of the mcmhers of the iSttite C.Vntrnl Committee, and other prominent persons. On the arrival at the ground", the car va met by m cavalcade of the citizens of the j lace, pri ccih'd by bunds of music, with l imners and tlags in profusion. General liutler's uppniraiicc was hailed with great delight, nnd as he mounted the stand was greeted with enthusiastic cheering. Kcv. Dr. .) u ji k in was addressing the meet ing upon the to rival of Gem nil 13ittler. When he had concluded the General appear ed, ami after the applause had subsided he proceeded to speak : Jin. CiiMiiMAX and FKi.t.ow-rrrizKXs ok I'knnsvlvaxia and thk Union : I should owe yon tin apology if 1 came here to advise w ith ou upon the ordinary issues of a !tatc election, l would have no ri"ht, us a mem ber of the Union from a distant State, to interfere with that peculiar and domestic policy with which win should choose that i w..i. :.. .i t.'i i ,i i ......... there nnv instances known to me w hich in-! volved simply what should be done in Penn sylvania, 1 assure you, fellow-citizens, I would not appear before vou.

And why do I say to you that in the contest in Pennsylvania theie is such an issue involved ? Because, in my judgment, if, to-day. the g eat State of New York, the great State of Ohio, und the Keystone of the Areli Peiin--ylvaniashoiild give back to theJSouth the same sound that far-distant California has given, that Maine, too, has given, in their decided, firm, and outspoken majority not for party, but for country that iu ninety days from that date and I am no sij of a prophet I predict that the rebellion will be ended. 'Why do the rebels hold out. in the ! face of defeat and disaster upon eveiy side j of them I Is there any doubt us to our su i periority over them I any doubt about our , numbers mid theirs ?

" and Ohio troops ure to be withdrawn, anil a general amnesty declared, the Union to be restored us it was before the war, ami all come back as a band of brother. To this propositiun, I propose to address myself. In flic first place, the oueslion recurs to us. ' Do you wish the Union restored as it was " No. I want to put the proprosilion dis tinctly, because iiimIii this some of my old I Democratic friends urn sorely troubled. Sup pose we could wake up to morrow morning and learn that the rebels, every man of them had laid don n their arms and were willing lo come back to the place they occupied on the 11th of April, 1SIH, the day of the bom burdmeiit of Port Slimier, if the Union could bit restored intui t, 1 might be in favor of it ; nay, 1 am sure I would Imi in favor of il, it we could bring back the glorious dead who now sleep along thebaukaol the Chick ahominy, the Potomac, and everywhere else here our army has fought so many buttles.

Applause General Butler proposed next to speak on the subject of slavery. He was one of those who did jiot wish to see slavery back into the Union again, lie would give his reasons therefor. Addressing himself to his old Democratic friends, he said he did not change his political principles when he en tered into this war. lie was an old lover of Andrew Jackson, and with him endorsed with all his heart the patriotic sentiment that "By the Internal the Union must be saved." "Applause. From that source lie learned his Democracy, lie had voted for l'olk, Cass, Pierce, Buchanan, anil Breckin ridge. Laughter. lie had taken 'every dose flint had been offered liim. More than that, heuttended every Democratic National Convention since 18f t, nnd helped to nuiko every Democratic platform. It might be said he was a politician. Well, he was not, for, up to the time he received his commis sion into the United States army, lie had held no office in his life under the State or National Government. Down in Massachu setts, there was no such thing as a Democrat getting an office, lie was a Democrat from principle. He had some right, therefore, to uddrcss his old Dcmoerntic friends. There were, he knew, many loyal Demo crats who adhere to the Democratic party through a sense of duty. They have belie lievcd for a generation that the principles of the Democratic party have always been ad vantageous to the National Government, They cling to tlie organization now just as if it were as patriotic and as pure as in the early days of its existence. The question of slavery entered as a fair plank in the Demo cratic platform at the time of the election of Mr. Polk. In 1848 the slavery plank in the Deinoc tit ie p'atform was renewed, anil so in all succeeding conventions. If slavery became a portion of the Democratic platform j it was also part of the Whig platform, for the V lug party had it then incorporated. The agitation of slavery commeiiceii in good earnest, with uble men on both sides. He (the speaker) labored for the Cincinnati I' t-liark-s on, because he saw ho men of the South determined to leave the j Union unless they got their way, and. ; frightened nt the sight, he was determined toield everything for the Union. Heoller : ed to nominate a young man from Kentucky, ! Mr. Breckinridge, for the sake of keeping i the Southern men within the Union. But the Southern men are not to be satisfied cen ; with this. They organized for the purpose of ovi I til row ing the Government, anil Bean ! regard opened his guns, w hich sounded forth ! not the death of the Union, but the death of I shivery. Why tin we say the death of ; slavery I lie assumed ther was no man in i this crowd who, if left to the instincts (Sod ; has given him, would wish there should be I a slave on earth, Applause. There were ' many of us who stood by the institution so long as it was under the protection of the I Constitution. But what did our Southern men do at Charleston for slavery f They withdrew from under the Constitution, i They gave up all their obligations of that Constitution. From that day they released i us from nil obligations to ihem, and we : Democrats were left free to follow the die ta c of o::r own conscience upon the mutter of slaveiy. Previous to this w gave them . every constitutional right. AVe hunted their : negroes in Massachusetts, and did everything they asked of us. They spurned us, and said they would make u new Government with slavery as its corner stone. They bloke the partnership. How much longer were we to U- bound by the partnership article than they were ? When they went out of the Union, they lost all rights under the Constitution. They had our bond, by , which we were to give them not one pound, . lint Uiiuiy pounds of human lli sh, and we ; then told them to beware that they did not draw any human blood, for in that case their goods were forfeited to the Slate. Applause i We need not discuss the ijucstiou of slavery, i therefore, for it has become, to use a familiar word, a demoralized institution. Laughter. The slave litis learned his stienglh. He Iihs leuined his rights, and on that account he is ; no longer valuable as a slave. Having learned the value of the musket and rilie, '. he is liccoiuing a dangerous species o! prop erty, and masters will lind him iusiihordi ; mile. He has now learned vicious tricks, so far as a servant is concerned. The horse has learned to kick ami is dangerous. Be i foro the war an able-Unlied negro would . sell for 2.000. He had noticed the sale of I one the other day at that price. But mark you, that is hardly two thousand ten-cent l'-'l'- 1 Ue fact 18, slave property litis de- 'creased III value, so much so that the South ... will soon be glad to get rid of it. Within the next six months, he had no doubt, Louisiana will come into the Union with a constitution for the abolition of shivery. IApphiuse.J . He had seen the true men of .ouisiami, and they entertain this view. They say that la very is gone, and ure will ing and anxious to have hired labor. This war litis not destroyed negro pron rly, but has rather increased iti value tenfold, lor the free negro labor will be much more benefi cial than slave labor. Be assured, then, that slavery is dead. Beauregard killed it, ami let it be buried. Again alluding to his attachment .to the old Democratic party, the General s.iid he did not mean lo desert that party. Hu iiiihtir Intake it with him soiiut day, ami have a platform upon which ull loyal Demo cruts can stand But we must sutlaitt the Government through all its dangers. We in iiat sustain a ltcpuhlican Administration. We must go with them, right urwrnni;. The Administration is the only means by which we tan be ureter ved from aiituchy, and if you oppose the Administration, you oppose the Government. The tiuio may Come when litis Administration will be changed, if so, it must be for a more vig orous p msec ut ion of the war. Applause. A Democratic oralor, the other day, made use of this illusliution : The Government is represented by an engine, anil the Adminis tration by au engineer. The engine i very pretty. ud altogether acceptable, but the engineer was a wickrdj'ellow, and ought to he turned away. Hut the engine was. now In danger, ll la approaching a precipice uo lime to be ol and the fate of all the p.itwiigcrs hangs upon the skill of that en gineer, whoever he may he. Do not lie hi hands, ami lie wilt bring hi previous load safely through. I Applause.) You will find that Wood and Vallaiidighaiu are opMSKd In that engineer, and woula lie li is hand. Their friends in this hlale likewise ; and are we IHfuiil ilium lo overthrow us on I lie precipice ( It was remarkable thing that reverst s to Ihe National arm erw tmorahl lo Ihe lk uiucralie parly, buiiinue Gillmore is driven away froiu I'barlcaloii, Komi-miis I i om ClultauiM.y. or Miade from Virgluiti, i ... .lit ciatic vote at your next election ? Undoubt edly. Suppose, on the other hand, that not only Charleston has fallen, hut that the re bellion should give its last gasp, can there be any doubt about the election of the Union ticket in Pennsylvania ? There can be only two parties at the present time. The oppo sition to tho Government does not come from the old Democratic party. That party has always been for the country in the past. There arc honest, conscientious men in the Democratic party who still vote that ticket because they believe the party is still for the Union. They cannot light against their Southern brethren because the South is still a part of the Union. Let us look at this a little. Are they in reality our brethren J Are they our enemies, or arc they not ? They had no right to secede, but they did. If w e find n man w ith his throat cut, lie say he has committed suicide. He may not have had the right but he took I he right. The rebels in arms are not our brethren. They Were our brethren, but the Late be tween us now passeth all the hate ever know between enemies. The Democratic party cannot go for the Government, because it is not for free speech. Every man, he ngreeil had the right to his tongue, but lie believed also that other men had a right to their curs, and when one man's speech be came offensive to another man's ears, it was time that it should be stopped. He was a stickler for free speech himself; but we are engaged in a great war now, and if anybody complained about an outrage upon the liber ty of speech, let him shoulder his musket and put down the rebellion, and free speech will lie restored. Ajiplause. It is com plained that the President suspended the habeas corpus. Now, the suspension of the habeas corpus is essentially a Democratic itlea. It never was recommended to be sus pended until by Thomas Jefferson, in the Burr rebellion. Who actually did suspend it General Jackson, and lie was a good Democrat. General Jackson not only sus pended it, but arrested the offender nnd im prisoned the judge. Applause. The sus pension is, therefore according to Democratic practice. But, without stopping to defend it upon that ground, how can we get rid of it ? End the rebellion. Do not interfere with the Government. If it is weak, give it your strength ; if it is weak, give it your power; if unpatriotic, give it your patriot ism. Go with me, and end the rebellion, and there will be no further suspension of habeas corpus. End the rebellion, and all our woes are ended. There w ill tie no fur ther drafts, no more increase of taxation, no more infringement of the liberty of speech. Therefore, in conclusion, he would say if we wished this war stopped, and substantial peace again restored, work with nnd for the Government. We in Pennsylvania could do as much at the ballot box" us our bravo soldiers can upon the buttle-ficlds of the South. Gen. Butler retired from the stage amid great applause. He was followed iu clo ijiieut speeches by Messrs. Morton Mc Micliacl, Wither Wortliiiigton, Lewis I. Broomail, Wayne McVctigh, and others. Before leaving the grounds, Gen. Butler was presented with a handsome bouquet ami pound cake, by the Ladies' Soldier's Aid Society of Oxford.

The j only thing they had to cross with was un old ferry boat that was forced across the river by Hie current. I ins boat would carry about sixty men at a time. They were all one day ami nearly all night taking us ovei about three thousand in number. The rebels find laid a pontoon bridge ncioss the river two or three miles below Wiilianisport, but our cavalry had destroyed it a few days before we reached the river. Between Ha gerstown and Wiilianisport we passed over ground that, but a tew hours before, had been the scene of a bloody engagement be tween Stuart's cavalry and small force of our cavalry under Kilpatrick. The l'il'tli New York were in this engagement. The dead men and horses were still lying on the field w here they fell ; all of the ollicers and nearly all the privates hud bee'i stripped of their clothing by the rebels, aud then left uuburied. 'HOW THK rillSllNKIIS W J.I1K KICP. "When we reached the river we had march ed over forty miles, and in going that dis tance our captor had given us one pint of, flour, half pound of fresh meat and a little sa t. We mixed the flour on a piece of a barrel head and buiied uu a flat kloiiu ill front of ihu tire. X I'ATIIIOTIC TOWN, "The next day, after crossing the rivi r, we inarched llltiin mites, passing through Murlilishiirg, w hich is without exception the most patriotic town I ever saw ; Phihnlcl pltiu is nothing when compared w ith It. flic (K-ople told ua to keep lip good louage, for the Slur and Huipe were coming, ami not fur iu the rear.

The second day after we left Mai'tinsburg we arrived at Winchester, thirty-four miles from the Potomac, where we halted for one day. Hero they gave us one riunrt of flour and half a pound of fresh beef for two days. The. next day we started for Staunton, ninety-two miles distant, which we reached in five davs, arriving there on the 18th of July. TIIEin TREATMENT AND HUFKr.ni.NOS. "Wc were then taken two miles south of the town, where we were marched in single file up to a pair of lairs; hero we found two ollicers, surrounded by guards, to search us; they took all arms, la-ge knives, tents, rub ber blankets anil canteens, then turned us into the field like a lot of cattle. Hcreswe were exposed to a Virginia sun, tor there wns but one small tree in the field of nbotit two acres. For live successive days wc had a heavy shower in the afternoon ; each time I was wet to the skin, und had to remain so until the sun rose the next morning und dried my wet clothes. The nights were so cold that wc could not sleep on the wet ground without blankets, so we were oblig ed to walk nil night to keep warm. They gave us one pint of flour and a piece of ba con about one and a half inches square, all covered with vermin, which, with a little salt, constituted our daily rations. AVe suf fered in this manner till' the fourth of Au gust, when they searched us for "green backs," and took nil the money they could find about us. Then wc were shipped for liichuiond on some dirt cars, with au old cattle-box of an engine to haul us. IX PKISON AT IttCHMONI). 'Wc' arrived at Itichmond on tho morn ing of August 5th ; we were marched through the city to tl.e tobacco warehouses, where we were stowed away, about three hundred men on a floor, w ith four small win ows at each end tt) let in the light and air, and were kindly told by the guard that the first man who put his head out of the window would be siiot. We were kept here two days and a night, when wc were taken to Belle Isle, about half a mile from the city. Hero they hail an earthwork thrown up, about as large as that formed by a rille pit; this enclosed about an acre and a half, and in this small place they had over four thou sand prisoners. They had tents for about three thousand ; the remainder had to lie on the ground between the tents. Here at 10 o'clock a. m they gave us n quarter of a loaf of bread; the loaves weighing twenty ounces. This gave each man five ounces of bread. Then they gave fifteen pounds of meat, bones and all, for one hum li ed men ; this, when 'divided, gave each man about two ounces of meat, making in till seven ounces. This was our breakfast and dinner together. At four o'clock, p. in., wc receiv ed five ounces more of bread, and one pint of soup, beans and rice alternately. ' The best that 1 ever had of cither did not haye in it three spoonfuls of rice or beans, and the soup was so thin, that if you blew the scum from the top you could kec the beans or rice at the bottom. TUB I'RlsONEUS STAUVKM. It was no uncommon sight to see two men holding up a comrade, he being too weak to waik alone. A number died while I was there. Some of the men would pick up the bones that lay in the streets, pound them up with a stone, and then suck the pieces to get what little nourishment there was left in them. Tns nt:i.ivt:itANCE. We remained here till the 2"jth of August when wc were taken on to liichuiond and placed in the tobacco houses again, where we remained till morning, when we were put in the curs for City Point, which we reach ed at twelve o'clock. Here we saw the transport New Y'ork lying nt the dock, with the Stars ami Stripes floating from her mast head, causing the boys to shout with joy. As soon as wc were taken on board we all received a half loaf of bread und a piece of boiled pork ; the most of them ate this at once, being too hungry to wait and eat a little at a time. I'lllrKS IX It l( 11 MOM). "The rebel soldiers have no faith what ever iu their government ; they told us that their pay was not worth tlie'snap of their finger, nnd they would give ri-iht dollars of their liiony for one of ours. A pair of boots j in idcnmonil arc worth trom lorty due to fifty dollars, shoes from fifteen to twenty dollars, a pound of coffee, half rye, five dof lars ; sugar, three dollars; and ' everything else in proportion. They have "bread' riots" nearly every day; robberies and murder.s are committed every night, anil you can see armed men stationed at the comer of street, and all over the city to keep the peace."'

In thus speaking, we allude particularly to that class of public men who occupy an exalted aud proud position in State or National ntrairs. - Of this class, Governor Andrew G. Cuetin has a pn mi lieu! place Iwtore the people of Ihe State in fact, we may truly say Ihe world. In his present tour, an incident occurred that caus ed the tear of sympathy to start in the eve of the Governor. He had addressed a large meeting at Calasumpta, in the mountain region. A ihe sun was fast receding be hind the inoiiiitain-top, and casting a long shade in the valley, Ilia Governor took pass age ill the train bound for morn level re gions. He arrived iu Philadelphia in due time, having lain met half-way by Colonel W, It. Maim, ami by him ami two other warm adinireis wa conducted to the Con tinental, where he sought rvjtose. Ilia nature wu well nigh exhausted. The want of sleep, the lal Ig in of travel, the rieiitful kcciu-sof hi life, the iiu'iit-rud hand shaking, the surrounding crowd,, tl.rj ilvjcity and viK'ifi ration of the thronliig multitude, all uf which he had so recently Htaed through, made it necessary for retirement. He was Install Ilia lu-t day oil some lmiiie relative to the defence and prolee lion of the State, in case of another rebel I d, w Mi li seemed to be projected. AUul Ua o'chak III the iiionung I hers aiiH!ied In Ihe tt.tihnle of Ihe Continent si, a well-dnsiMMl )ouag lady, (ihe was by tirsilf. Hu fe batokioid buJ uv;, that had added to her appearance ten years to her natural life. She attracted more than ordinary attention of the throng mov ing to and fro through the main avenue of that palatial building. She maintained her silence, and appeared wrapped in deep thought. Presently Col. Win. B. Mann came down the large winding marble steps ; a slight tap on his shoulder caused him to stop. The young woman stood before him, nnd said : "Sir, you are Win. B. Manu, I bc lieve."' "I am. madam, what do you wish J" "I desire to see Governor Curtin." "Well, madam, he is very much engaged at present ; is your business pressing is it of a public nature i" "I desire to s-e him ; I have conic all the way from Ohio for the purpose. I have been to Ciitasatifiuu, but the train was too late: I arrived in the city this morning and must see him ; he is the only dear friend I have on earth." Such nn appeal was nsistless. The gal lantry of Col. Mann, as well as his business, couid brook no de-iy. He retired for a mo ment, and presently Ushered the strange lady into the presence of the Governor. "Oh ! Governor, I am so glad to sec you," said she, ns she placed her left arm upon his shoulder nnd imprinted a kiss upon his manly forehead. "Madam, said ho, quite overcome, "to what am I indebted for this unexpected salutation ?" "Sir, do you not know ine!" "Take a chair," said the Governor, bland ly, at the same time extending one of the handsomest in the pat lor. Col. Mann and the few gentlemen present at once became interested iu the scene, and silently looked on. "Shortly after the battle of Antietam yo:t were upon that bloody field," said sheto'the Governor. "I was,"' replied the Governor, thought fully, with a sigh as the fearful scenes of carnage were thus unexpectedly brought to his memory. "You administered to the wants of the wounded and the dying." . "It was my duty, as a feeling man." "Y'ou did your duty well. Heaven alone will reward you, sir, for in this life there is no reward udeipitntcly expressive of -the merits due you. You sir, imparted conso lation and revived the hopes of n dying sol dier of the 23th Ohio. He was badly wounded in the arm : you lifted him into an am bu I mice, und. the blood dripping from him, stained your hands and jour cloth ing. That soldier was as dear to ine us life itself. "A husband ?" said the Governor. "No, sir." "A brother, perhaps J" "No. sir." "A father J" "No, sir." "A son ?" "No, sir." "A lover '" "No, sir." The little party around were more in terested than ever. If not n husband, father, brother, son or lover, who, then, could it be? "My dear madam,' said the Governor, nt length breaking the silence, "this is an enigma to inc. Please explain more about the gallant soldier of Ohio." "Wei!, sir, that soldier gave you a ring C. K. 1). were tho letters engraved on the interior. That is the ring now. upon your little finger. He told you to wear it, and carefully have you done so." The Governor pulled off the ring, mid sure enough the letters were there. "The linger that used to wear that ring will never wear it any more. The luiinl U iloul but the soldier still lives, thanksato your kind attention on that bloody field." The whole scene was yet a problem, that even the sagacity of Colonel Manu could not solve. The Governor was now more interested than ever. "Well, madam," said he, "tell mo ull about it. Is this ring yours i Was it given to you by a soldier whom you loved f "I loved him as 1 loved my life; but he never returned that love. He had more love for his country than forme; I honor him for it. That soldier who placed that little ring upon your finger stands before vou." So saying, the strange lady arose from her chair, aud stood before the Governor. The scene that now ensued we leave to the imagination of the reader. A happy hour passed. The girl who had thus in troduced herself was Catharine li. Davidson, of Shclh'cld, Ohio. She w as engaged to be married, but her future husband responded to the call of the President, ami she followed hint by joining another regiment. He was killed iu the same battle where she fell wounded. She is alone in the world, her father mid mother having departed this life years ago. She was the soldier of the 2th Ohio who hud placed the ring upon the finger of Governor Curtin, for the kind attention given her upon the Moody field of Antietam. The right arm had Ih-cu amputated about halfway between the elbow and the shoulder. The interview finally elided, and having at hist seen her benefactor, she bade him and his friends ailieii, taking with her an older, la aring tlie bold signature of A. G. Curtiu for one of Palmer's patent arms. We had un interview- with the heroine. She was modest, although she had led the life of a "Imld soldier boy." She was loud in her praise of Governor Curtin, ui.d is ti nn in tlm belief that through his hard working energy, powers of pHy.i, .il eti.l ir u nee, and great courugc, he saved the lives often thousand soldiers, many of whom atill lir to bless his name as one of the "lew immoital, not bom to die." iMlrrnsllMK (rsssst lli Notilli. a r a ma ai t iiAiii.EsToN- nvrnTsof i.m.Kk l' IKK.

Kvcry one supposed there would bo a renewal of the attack the next day; they imagined tho first to be only a feeler and thought, if it w as, Sumter's chance would be a poor one, if, on the next attempt, a determination to reduce the work was matiilested. He gives us tho precise locality where four of Ihu shells Iroui General Oillniore's "Swamp Angel" struck the city of Charleston. Three of them struck within four block of each other, nnd the four were within the space of half a mile. One hit the spire of St. Michael's church, at the corner of Meet ing and Broad streets; one burst in the store and warehouses of John Fraser & Co., on Ka.it Buy, near the Post. Otlice ; another at the corner of Broad und Church streets, near the telegraph otlice; and tho fourth struck on the bath house, located ou tho Battery, or rather the Park of Charleston,' on Ashley liiver. The utmost consternation prevailed in the city. When these terrible missiles began to arrive the firemen wcru all ready to extinguish any tire that might be caused by the exploding shells, end tlm alarm bells summoned every one to arms, no one knowing what might be expected next. At this time there were not mora than three or four hundred non-combatants in the city, and these have since taken their departure for a safer locality, leaving tho city entirely to the care of those who would rather fight than run away. He says that the citizens of Charleston have fully deter mined to destroy the city rathtr than sur render it. The latter they will not do, and have everything ready to apply the torch in a manner to render it's destruction complete when it is found they can uo iongcr keep possession of it. Beauregard's force he estimates at about nine thousand men before the reinforcement was sent him from Virginia of the division of General Jenkins. This may bring it up to fourteen thousand, which Includes tho garrisons in all the fortifications nrouud Charleston, a force at Pocotaligo, Adams' ittui, and a point between Charleston and Bianchvillc, on the South Carolina llailroad. These troops are all of the bet ; many of them are veterans, and even the home guards are as well drilled us regulars. Beauregard will delay our approach us much as he pos sibly can, for the reasons above stated : he will dispute every inch, and strive in every way to recover the piestige he lost w hen hi) permitted General Gillmore to obtain a foothold on Morris Island, that must even tually cost them the loss of their beloved city, the hotbed of Secession, and the point from whence sprang this cruel and unneces sary war. Bcuuregard lost much of his rep utation as a soldier und engineer olliccr when he lost Morris Island. His popularity has fallen ofi' wonderfully, especially with the people of Charleston, who idolized him before as the man w ho compelled seventy-five men to surrender to surrender to a force of ten thousand, aided by batteries of the heaviest description, and gave them possession of their Sumter, the fort that now possesses as much value to them as a work of defense ns any pile of old bricks. The Carolinians -ill never forget or forgive Beiiurcgaid when Moultrie, Sum ter and the ground upon which Charleston stood passes from their possession into that ot the Y'unkees." SorrilEHS OJ'INIOX OF THE KRENCH. IJf MEXICO. Singular as it may appear, tho feeling of the Southern people is decidedly against tho occupation of Mexico by the French. Pub lic men at public meetings do not hesitate to dcnoiiuce in the strougest terms the pros pect of -au empire being established on this continent. They ulso say that if the United States would consent to a cessation of hos tilities the army of the South would com bine with that of the North and drive tha Frenchmen into ci:her the Pacific or tho Atlantic Ocean. They do not desire and will not submit, to Frenchmen being upon American soil, or the French Emperor having anything to say iu the atl'airs of this conti nent, and fiar that his designs are not upon Mexico only, but ulso upon Texas aud Louisiana.
