STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF DIS DEATH
The telegraph to-day announces the death
of Stephen Arnold Douglas, which took place
at 9 o'clock this morning, in the city of Chi
cago. The announcement was not unexpected,
however it may elicit the profound regret of
the nation, as Judge Douglas had bean serious
ly ill for several days, and in that time the
fact was telegraphed that his life was despaired
of by his family and his friends. At the time
of his death, he was 49 years old, having been
born in Brandon, Rutland county, Va., April
23, 1813.
The biography of Stephen A. Douglas, when
it is fairly written, wilt be interesting and in
structive. He commenced his career in a cabi
net-maker's shop, from which he entered sev
eral academies of learning, and having removed
to the state of Illinois when very young, where,
a year after he was admitted to the bar, when
not yet twenty-two years of age, he was elect
ed by the legislature attorney general of that
state. In December, 1835, he was elected a
member of the legislature of Illinois, where
he commenced that career as a parlia
mentarian and debater for which he since
became so eminently distinguished. In
1837 he received the nomination for Con
gress, at a time when he was not yet
twenty-five years old, but attained the re
quisite age before the dly of election—and was
defeated by the whig candidate by a majority
of only five votes. In 1840, Mr. Douglas was
appointed Secretary of State of Illinois, as a re
cognition of the services he rendered his party
during the political struggles of that year. In
1841, the legislature elected him a Supreme
Judge of that State, which position he resigned
in 1848 to accept a second nomination for Con_
cress, and was elected after a spirited contest
by a small majority. In 1844 he was re
elected, but did not take his seat, having
been In the meantime chosen a United
States Senator by the legislature of his
State. In the House of Representatives, Mr.
Douglas gained great prominency for his sup
port
of the 54-40 policy of the Polk administra
tion—his vote and speeches in favor of the an
nexation of Texas, and other decided measures
of the Democratic administration then in
power. He was chairman of the Committee on
Territories which reported the joint resolution
for the admission of Texas, and after this ad
mission, supported James K. Polk during
the war with Mexico, with all his peculiar
zeal and mental might and power. As
chairman on the Committee of Territo
ries in the House of Representatives, and
afterwards in the Senate, he reported bills
for the admission of the territories of Min
nesota, Oregon, New Mexico, Utah, Washing
ton, Kansas and Nebraska, and also the bills
for the admission into the Union of the states
of lowa, Wisconsin, California, Minnesota and
Oregon. On the question of slavery, he op
posed the interference of Congress in the or
ganization of territories or admission of states,
in taking one side or the other—a doltrine out
of which grew the agitation in which Mr. Doug
las bore Such a conspicuous part, and which
has since divided the Democratic party, and
which led to the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise. Whatever may be said now of the
policy of this repeal, it is a fact that Mr. Doug
las remained faithful to it throughout his life,
defending it whenever it was assailed or vio
lated. •
It is not Our purpose to allude to the politi
cal trouble and contentions into which Mr.
Douglas was forced since 1856, any further than
to declare that he bore himself bravely and
nobly in all his encounters. He may have com•
milted wrongs--but they sprang more from his
zeal than from any purpose to injure his country,
or impair the principles of good government.
He was a partizan of uncompromising temper
in the commencement of his career, but lived
to modify his feelings in this respect, and within
the last year went so far as to disregard party
lines in his defence of what he considered the
safety and the permanency of his government.
During the last Presidentill contest, he was
the candidate of a wing of the Democratic
party, and since then has been the object of the
bitter hatred and opposition of the other wing,
or that portion which have been engaged in the
unholy war of dissolving the American Union.
Of Stephen A. Douglas personally, it would
be unjust to omit writing that he was a man
capable of strong friendships—a bold and defi
ant enemy—a statesman of the largest mental
powers, and, in all respects, one of the most
remarkable men that the age has produced.
We do not pretend to write that he had no
faulte ; nor is it illiberal to assert that he done
much which it would have been best had he
left undone—nut we must do his memory
the justice of declaring that he accomplished
as much to elevate the American character,
promote American interests, and develop Amer
ican territory for purposes of freedom and free
labor, as any statesman who served his country
before him. He lived to repair any injury he
may have done his country by his partizan zeal
or indiscretion, by devoting himself to its protec•
tion in the hour of its danger—and the whole
country will therefore mourn hie loss.
THE DEATH - OF BEAUREGARD CON
FIRMED.
The mysterious disappearance, as well as the
singular appearance of Gen. Beauregard in sev
eral localities widely separated, has caused
much conjecture and confounded many good
people since the attack of the rebels on Fort
Sumter. An informant, who is known to us as
a gentleman of veracity and responsibility,
communicated to us the information this morn
ing, that a respectable German, who has been
n the employ of Mr. J. B. Oldershaw, a stone
dealer on Pratt street, near Sharp street, Balti
more, was at work at Fort Moultrie at the time
of the bombardment of Fort Sumter. He re
turned to Baltimore on Saturday, June Ist, and
he most positively asserted to Mr. Charles B.
Purnell, of Baltimore, that there was one hun
dred and forty persons killed at Fort Moultrie,
and that Gen. Beauregard was wounded and died
the next day, and all the men were sworn not
to divulge.the fact.
There is no good reason why this should not
be true—nor can we doubt the statement, com
ing from a source so responsible and respectable
as that from which it is derived. Our readers
can compare it with any other information they
may have, and draw their own conclusions.
THE THREE MILLION STATE LOAN.
The Harrisburg Bank has made arrange
ments to receive subscriptions to the three
millions loan authorized by the legislature for
the purpose of defraying the expenses of or
ganizing the militia of the State of Pennsyl
vania, and fully placing her military resources
on a war footing. The bill providing for this
loan fixes the most stringent regulations and
guards for its disbursement, and in all respects
makes it one of the safest investments in which
capitalists of all degrees of means can place their
resources, besides affording the patriotic a splen
did opportunity to evince their confidence in a
good cause by giving it their financial encourage
ment. The loan has also keen so divided into
shares, that the humblest man of the most
limited means can take part, thus preventing
its monopoly by the millionaire. In fact the
idea was to create a safe and reliable means for
the investment of capit , q, while it sought to
promote and perfect the military organization
of the State on a basis of economy and security.
Those of our citizens who desire to take
shares in this loan, have now the opportunity
of doing so through the agency of one of our
most popular and reliable banking institutions.
The loan itself is commended to their encour
agement and recognition by every argument of
patriotism and self-preservation ; and a similar
opportunity for safe investment may not again
be offered in many years.
IT HLS HIEN POPULAR, heretofore, to talk and
write of the friendly relations existing between
the United States and England. We were
constantly boasting of the presumed fact, that
one religious purpose actuated the people of
both countries—that their institutions socially
were the same—that the governments of both
countries had one object in view—and that we
were connected, by the common ties of hu
manity and consanguinity, to achieve the re
ligious, the social and the moral elevation of
the people of the world. Such a faith was the
popular theme of Sunday School re-unions,
and afforded many an orator of the foreign
missionary society his subject of eloquent ap
peal to our people, who very willingly poured
out their money and their sympathies to tickle
the pharisees of England and exalt the charity
of this country in the eyes of the people of the
world. Then it was the policy of that govern
ment to court the power and greatness of the'
United States, as her natural ally, because
she could neither bully or force us into her
service. But this policy has changed, with
the first evidences of weakness or incapacity
on our part to maintain the government which
was once such an, object of admiration and
solicitude to England—and our natural ally has
become our most unnatural, secret and im
placable enemy. There can no longer be any
doubt of this fact, and we have no right
trust England as any other than our enemy.
The defeats and disgraces of two wars—
the discomfitures of more than one diplo
matic encounter—and being outstripped in
trade and commerce and intelligence in
the markets of the world by his natural ally,
was too much for John Bull, and therefore he
seizes on our present difficulties as excellent
opportunities to vent his spits and reek his
revenges in a series of diplomatic threats, im
pediments and obstructions which are to serve
the purpose of positive sympathy and assistance
to the confederate traitors of the south. Lord
Lyons, the British minister at Washington, has
evidently been engaged in giving his own gov
ernment the gratifying news that the govern
ment of the United States is a failure—that its
powers have vanished—and that the only and
the most reasonable course for his government
to pursue, is to adopt the policy of neutrality
by giving aid and sympathy to the rebels, and
whenever circumstanced will insure them suc
cess, at once to recognize the government of
the traitors. In 1844, the Secretary of State
Marcy, tendered Sir John Crampton his pass
ports, for the very policy which Lard Lyons is
now pursuing,and if the people then applauded
Marcy, they would now . approve Secretary of
State Seward, if he would make the same ten
der to Lord Lyons, because there is no doubt
that his lordship has been giving his govern
ment the information that the Lincoln admin
istration cannot sustain itself against the trea
son of the south. There is no reason in delay
ing any action in regard to England or thereat
of the powers of Europe. The least show of tim
idity on our part would be the evidence to them
of weakness, and being convinced of that, they
would make a short life of free institutions on
this hemisphere. We owe none of the govern
ments of Europe either confidence, sympathy,
fear or respect. The friendly relations which
they have all heretofore assumed towards us,
were more the result of necessity than good
will—and they are all ready and too willing at
any moment to change these relations when it
will remove the influence and the powers of
a republican form of government from their
aristocratic contemplations. Oar policy must
be as bold and decided towards the governments
of Europe, as it is positive and decided towards
the traitors. All of them must be whipped
into respect and submindon.
Pennsylvania daily etlegrap4, litlonbay 'Afternoon, June 3, 1861.
IT WOULD be utterly impossible either to fol
low or attempt to refute the slanders and mis
representations of the Sunday press of Phila
delphia, in relation to the organization of the
military force of this state, the disbursement
of money, and the official conduct of individu
al cfficers. The labor would be thrown away,
and the time misapplied in such an effort—but
we cannot refrain from alluding to the willful
and malicious misrepresentations, mutilations,
and aspersions in which the Sunday Dispatch of
yesterday indulges. Its allusions to Thomas E.
Cochran, Auditor General, are coarse and un
gentlemanly, and cannot fail to elicit scorn for
itself where it hoped to create indignation
against_n faithful :and upright :public officer.
The affidavit which the Dispatch prints, and by
which it seeks to convict Mr. Cochran of in
competency or complicity, is as base a mutila
tion of a document as ever was perpetrated by
desperation to injure a high-minded gentle
man. The only affidavits issued were printed
in this office, so that the one copied by the
Dispatch, over which it howls because the
word "hereafter" was omitted, was evidently
stricken out by themselves, to create the sen
sation material by which most Sunday newspa
pers exist, or to indulge in another of those
willful falsehoods which have rendered the
Sunday Dispatch popular among the purlieus of
Philadelphia. •
The affidavit issued by the Auditor General
contained the word "hereafter," in the sense
in which the Dispatch complained of its being
omitted, andthe , inference is fair that the
Dispatch purposely printed this affidavit with
the word omitted.
THE BLOCKADE, on the tenth of this months
will be completed along the entire southern
coast, from the Chesapeake bay to the Rio
Grande. Up to this time the captures by our
men•of-war amount to thirty. Some of these
seizures have been released on application to
the Treasury Department, as it is not the desire
of the government to enforce more strictly
than is absolutely necessary, the terms of the
blockade. No exemptions of any sort have
been made by the rebels, and consequently the
number of captures effected by them considera
bly exceeds our. The seizures made by the
Confederates up to the last accounts may be
thus enumerated :

made in the most substantial manner, with a
large cape, and we have every reason to be
lieve, from our knowledge of the integrity and
responsibility of the contractor, that the sam
ple is nothing more than a fair specimen of
what the entire stock consists of, and that the
contract will not fail to pass inspection.

Casey, Esq., of Harrisburg, says ,the Washing-1
ton city Sunday Morning Chrcmicle, by the Presi

Eminent as a lawyer, a citizen of unquestioned

BELLIGERENT AND NATIONAL RIGHTS.
By the law of nations when a body of rebels
in any nation, resist the foreign authority with
such force as to compel it to make war upon
them in the usual way, such a state of things
is called a civil war.
The existence of such a condition is a ques
tion of fact. The consequence is drawn by the
law of nations, which is, that both parties are
to be considered as belligerents, and to be treat
ed by neutral nations with perfect equality, in
so far as they are belligerents merely. All the
right which belligerency gives is simply that
all acts of violence against its enemy done by
a party in that condition, are to ba regarded by
neutral nations as acts of war, and not of
felony.
But it is important not to confound rights
which.arise from nationality with the right
which springs from belligerency. A nation in
a state of war may , demand many things of
neutral States to which a mere belligerent with
out nationality is not entitled. For example ;
a belligerent, merely as such, has no right to
enter the ports of any nation. The vessels of
one State enter the ports of another either by
virtue of a treaty or 131 , international courtesy,
without any reference to . a state of peace or war.
A belligerent may make prizes from its enemy,
but only as a State can it enter the pOrts of
another State. But'a rebel power, hating no
nationality, can have no recognized fleg, no
minister, no consul; no public agent, within
the jurisdiction of any action. We enter, the
harbors of England by virtue of treaties., The
Confederate States have no treaties. The right
they seek is not a belligerent right, nor a right
conceded to them by the law or courtesy of na
tions. They ask to be admitted to England
simply because they are at war with us ! Will
that be considered by England as a meritorious
claim to her favor? We presume not. She
will justly conclude that to allow the rebel flag
to wave in her ports—to permit the public or
private vessels or prizes of the rebels to ente
her harbors—is equivalent to acknowledging
the nationality and independence of the Con
federate States. Such an act, she well knows,
would be a violation of her duties to us, and
regarded as most unfriendly by the people of
the United States. We ask nothing of England
which' the law of nations does not explicitly
give us, and we have a right to expect that
England will grant nothing to the rebels
which the'same law does not as distinctly award
to them.—N. Y. Tribune.
ENGLAND ern Mixrco.—The British govern
ment instructed Sir Charles Wyke to rigidly
enforce in Mexico 'the customs convention, by
which a certain portion of the duties are hypo
thecated for the payment of debts due by the
government to English subjects. Significant
articles in some of the leading London journals
indicate that the question of an active foreign
invention in the affairs of that republic is en
tertained in high quarters both in London and
Paris.

u e h as a t n e t r u n al
We are as happy, cheerful and contented as
soldiers could be expected under the circum
stances ;, and between swimmiug, ball-pl eying,
letter-writing, and last, but not least, drilling,
we manage easily to pass the time. Our inac
tivity is, however, becoming very irksome ancV
monotonous, and we are anxiously awaiting
orders to march, preferring glory` to safety .=
How soon our wishes may be gratified we can
not tell—a soldier's future is very mysterious—
though on Saturday last we had every reason
to believe our company would soon be wend
ing its way to " glory or the grave." On that
morning, through the kindness of Captain
M'Cormick, the company were permitted to
visit the city, under the charge of Sergeant
Kemble, for the purpose of witnessing the fu
neral of the lamented Colonel Ellsworth, but
before the procession had started, a general
alarm was sounded from the commandant's
head quarters, bells were rung, messengers
were seen flying in hot haste in every direc
tion, and an order arrived, commanding our
immediate return and preparation for march
ing. Every heart in our noble company leaped
with joy at the weloome news, and we obeyed
with alacrity, only, however, to be ready—
clothing and blankets packed—to hear our
orders countermanded, the alarm having been
caused by a skirmish between picket guards.—
With melancholy feeling we settled down to
our usual routine and again await an order to
charge.
To-day, in company with our gallant Lieut
enant Jennings, I made a tour through that
portion of Virginia lying between the chain
bridge, three miles above Georgetown and
Alexandria city, about eight miles below
Washington. Having been provided with
passes from General Mansfield, and well armed
with knives and revolvers, we visited the Ar
lington House, formerly the residence of the
venerable G. V. P. Custis, and more latterly
occupied by Colonel Lee, of the Confederate
army, and now in charge of tho Eighth New
York regiment, and found much to interest us.
When seized by the United States trcops, Col
onel Lee's servant occupied and still takes care
of the ample gardens and lawns which sur
round it ; much of the furniture and many of
the paintings of Mr. Ousts still remain, and
nothing has been disturbed, save a few rooms
which are occupied as officers' quarters. Wan
dering from thence down the river and among
the bills, we visited a number of camps, and
were frequently challenged by picket guards ;
but having the necessary papers, we experi
enced no difficulty. Arriving at Alexandria
we were, through the kindness of the officer cf
the day, shown through the Marshall House,
made memorable as the place in which the
heroic Ellsworth was so brutally assassinated.
The house is under a strict guard ; but many
passes are granted to visitors, and the oil
cloth sprinkled with his blood has been car
ried away in small pieces, to preserve as me
mentoes of his untimely death. Retiring from
the sorrowful sight we took passage on a
steamboat, passing a New York steamship
having a prize in store, and arrived safely in
the city by evening, having spent a pleasani
day
Guard mounting is one of the institutions of
camp life, and a splendid one it is, too, especi
ally when the days are wet and raw and the
nights cold and gloomy. Each guard is com
posed of three reliefs—each relief being two
hours on duty, and four off—and commences
every morning when the old ones ar,: relieved.
The, ceremony is an irroonsine• onn—a certain
'number of men are detailed from each com
pany in the regiment and marched under the
care of the First Sergeants to the parade
grounds, where they are carefully inspected by
the Adjutant and furnished with a sufficient
supply of cartridges for any emergency—the
Regimental band, ours being the Ringgold
Band of Reading, one of the finest in the city,
playing the meanwhile, after which they are
regularly received and presented to the officers
of the day. They are then marched to the
guard house. During the day and early part
of the night time passes pleasantly enough, but
from midnight till morning it is decidedly
gloomy. Sleep will endeavor to exert its sway,
and it is a hard enemy to contend with when
frames; are fatigued and stomachs but poorly
satisfied with cold unpalatable bites—snatched
during the intervals of duty—from which the
gluttenous Greenlanders,notwithstanding their
predelictions for greasy food, would turn from
with loathing and disgust. It has, however,
its pleasures too, as gathered around the cheer-
PA evening camp fire, we rehearse the familiar
incidents of boyhood, and though our lot is
sometimes hard we enjoy it. The revillee
sounds at 9i- o'clock at night, and the tattoo at
5 o'clock in the morning, between which hours
no one is allowed to pass without the coun
tersign. Our .friends in Harrisburg are not
forgetful of us. Within the past week Messrs.
Boyer,Simons, Hickok, Haynes and many
others have paid us friendly visits, and such an
evidence of interest in our welfare is quite
cheering and not soon forgotten. G. A. B.
P. S. I just have seen an article in the TELE

the general government in the capacity of a
scout. He proposes to inflate his balloon, and,
accompanied by an engineer, to ascend to any
desirable elevation, taking notes of the coun
try, the situation and strength of the enemy,
&c. This idea is by no means novel. It oc
curred to the first Napoleon, when the nrt of
ballooning was but little understood. During
the Crimean war the allies frequently made
use of those instrumentalities to ascertain the
preparation making of the enemy. Bat it was
in the great plain of. Northern Italy, in the
campaign of 1859, that their utility became
most apparent. Before the battle of Magnets
and Solferino, Louis Napoleon had employed
aeronauts to survey the grounds ; and while the
Austrians were in, retreat every motion made
by them was noticed by these genii of the up

3,000,000 Pennsylvania State Loan.
HE SUBSCRIBERS having been author
ized by the Governor and State Treasurer to procure
bias for a Loan recently authorized by the Legislature of
Pennsylvania, would respectintly appeal to the patriot
ism and State pride of Pennsylvanians in this hour of
trial, that they come forward and manifest their love of
the old Commonwealth by a prompt and cordial response
to her call.
But independent of any motives of patrietiim, there
are considerations of self-interest which may he consi d
ared in reference to this Loan. It is a six tier cent. Loan,
payable in ten years, free from any taxation whatever,
and bidders can have the privilege of teeing Certificates
of $5O, $lOO, $5OO, $l,OOO, or larger sums, and either
coupon or an. A scial tax, amounting
to about Threetransferable
Hundred M Thousand Dollars per annum, is
by this Loan Bill levied, and is to be applied to the pay
ment of the interest on the Loan, and to the purposes of
a liberal Sinking Fund. The bill itself stringently guards
against any but an economical and judicious expenditure
of the money, and throws around its disbursement, as
will be seen by the annexed card of thelbtata Treasurer,
the most satisfactory checks and guards. The number
of taxable inhabitants within the State is now nearly
seven hundred thousand thusshowing that the above
Loan added to our debt, only amounts to the trifle of
four dollars and fifty cents for each taxable ; and be
sides it is confidently expected that most of the funds
now disbursed, being really in aid of the General Goy
ernment, will be in due time returned to our Treasury.
Please advise us on or before the eighth of June, the
amount you will subscribe.
