THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW.
HARRIES EIRG,
Friiay Afternoon, June 28,1861
THEY ARE NOT OUR EQUALS.
One fact has heretofore been neglected in our
notice of the southern rebels :—They ere not our
equals l If we were contending with a foreign
foe, for the decision of some law of nations—
some commercial understanding—some treaty
of comity, or some right of possession—we
would know that we were meeting our equals
—men who were impressed with the conviction
that they were contending for principle, under
the lead and command of gallant and earnest
men, But such is not the case with the south
ern rebels. The case, as it stands, is against
the rebels, and therefore they are not our equals.
They are not our equals, any more than the
burglar is the equal of the owner of the house
he attempts feloniously to enter. He may be
armed, he may be the stronger man, arid he
May find the occupant of the house he has en
tered wrapped in sleep, but still he is not the
equal of the sleeper, on the principle that the
thief, burglar and assassin, are not the equals
of an honest man. And on this same principle
the rebels are not the equals of the freemen
who are now in arms to suppress this rebellion.
The men who renounced their senatorial oaths,
who perjured their souls while in cabinet con
ferences, who stole the public property while it
was is their charge for safe keeping, who ap
plied the public treasure to self aggrandize
ment, are certainly not the equals of those
who have left their peaceable homes to rescue
the land from rebellion. Floyd, Davis, Yancy
and Toombs, are not the equals of Lincoln,
Cameron, Seward or Chase. The former are
sanctioning the destruction of public property,
• the repudiation of private debts, and the or
ganization of anarchy where law and order once
prevailed. The latter are struggling to count
eract what the former would create, to undo
what they have done, and, if possible, save a
land that is already bleeding from a thousand
wounds, inidictedby,rebel traitors, the inferiors
aginst the government..
Theirs is not a revolution that has enlisted the
sympathy or received the acknowledgment of
the nations of the world. They are rebels ;as
such they are regarded by every nation in Christ
endom, and as such, too, they are not the equals
of any honest community of men, however hum
ble they may be in the estimation of their neigh
bors.
SOUTHERN DEBTS.
Chancellor Dargan, of Alabama, gives the
following opinion. through the Mobile Tri
bune:
Daring a state of war all commercial inter
oourse between the subjects of the nations at
war is illegal. So strict is this rule that the
mere drawing of a bill of exchange on an alien
enemy, or remitting him money even in pay
ment of debt, is prohibited by the law of na
tions. Either of these acts referred to is con
sidered not only illegal, but dangerous : hence
they are prohibited.
Our merchants may now owe debts In New
York and other northern cities, which they
wish to pay, but war now is recognized as ex
isting between the confederate states and the
northern free states, and they cannot remit
Money without a violation of the law.
My opinion on this subject has been asked
every day for the last several days, and there
fore I wish you would publish this,
Instead of being engaged in a war, the Chan
cellor would have defined the case more lucidly
bad he described the fact es it is, and given it
its tree name of rebellion. The merchants in
the south who refuse to pay their debts because
they are engaged in a war with the federal au
thorities, add dishonesty to their treason, and
make themselves amenable to the law punish
ing scoundrels who obtain goods under false
pretences, And Chancellor Dargan must have
stretched his legal lore when he sought the
purity of jurisprudence to dignify the traitors
around him, and justify their thefts and assas
sinations, as warranted by the existence of war
between a people and their government. To
such men the south is indebted for ruin and re
bellion.
From such traitors infuriated mobs
receive their fury—and when a settlement is
made between an outraged government and a
misled people, it will become necessary to make
a stern example of just such men as Chancellor
Dugan.

TWO PROPOSITION &
A western cotemporary suggests the idea that
the government should seize all the cotton with
in its reach in the south, dispose of it to the
domestic and foreign manufacturer, and refund
the amount to the southern rebel owner. In
this way, it is suggested, that the wants of
England would be neutralized. The rebels
thought at the beginning of their infamous
work, and they still cherish the belief, that
through the instrumentality of their cotton
they could compel England and other great
manufacturing powers to recognize their bogus
confederacy. They freely express the opinion
that England will break or raise the blockade
in order to procure cotton, and thus aid the
work of rebellion. It is now well understood
that England will do no such thing. But it
would be well for the cotton manufacturing in
terests of our own and other nations if our
government would do all in its power to seize
the cotton in the rebel states and sell it to man
ufacturers, holding the money received therefor
until the close of the war, and then pay it to
the owners of the cotton. During the progress
of the war there will much of this important
southern staple find its way into the hands of
our government, and the world should have
the benefit of it. When seized, the officer tak
ing it can give to the owner, in the name of the
United States, a receipt for the same which will
enable the owner to receive his pay at the close
of the war. There are thousands of southern
planters who would gladly hold. Uncle Sam's
promise to pay for the cotton they have to sell.
Nor do we think that they would object to the
compulsory process. It is conceded that the
government has the right to take possession of
any goods or products of the soil, where the
people are in open rebellion against the autho
rity of that government, but it is deemed
liberal not to confiscate such property, under
the presumption that its owners are overawed
by the rebellion with which they are surround
ed, and therefore not responsible for its effects
or consequences. The seizure of the cotton will
have the effect, while it supplies our own mar
kets in the north and those of Europe, also of
saving the cotton grower from present want and
ultimate loss. It is a subject, therefore, to
which the coming session of Congress can ap
propriately direct its attention.
The other proposition, or rather assertion, is,
that Congress should not hesitate at the expen
diture of money. A great national debt, it is
argued, is not so great an evil, as the advocates
of disunion and anarchy endeavor to mislead
the public into believing. The example of
Great Britain, during her long struggle against
the French republic and the empire, and the
history of France itself, prove that the highest
point of material prosperity, may coexist with
the most exhaustive efforts to carry on war,':and
that a national debt may even supply the place
of destroying commerce and an otherwise im
paired prosperity. The public indebtedness of
England is nearly four thousand millions of
dollars. Imagination itself recoils before the
consideration of such an amount. Yet had the
every descendant of Englishmen then alive, the
'United Kingdom would now be a fourth rate
power, not impossibly an appendge of France,
like Algiers. Created as the debt of Great Bri
tain was, every pound sterling expended, was
poured back into English coffers, and the
very subsidies with which foreign allies were
enabled to continue hostilities, kept alive Brit
ish manufactures, and were paid in British
merchandise. Unborn generations were thus
enabled to foster and keep alive, with the
wealth, appropriated in advance of its creation,
a trade and commerce which would otherwise
have perished, and with them freedom, nation
ality, and the high place among the powers of
the world which England holds. In order to
crush out the treason which menaces our na
tional existence, an immense debt must be in
curred, which will burthen the possessions of
our children and of coming generations. They
will, however, recall with pride the memory of
ancestors who confided in their love of country,
fought and bled for their welfare, and left them
to pay the debt. Meanwhile, the hundreds of
millions that are raised, will enliven trade, give
a new impulse to commerce, bring wealth to
individuals, and be a present gain to all classes
of the community. It does not go abroad, but
remains at home. It is not to be refunded
now, but will fall upon the future, at a period
when, restored to peace, it will be affectionately
regarded es the sacrifice through which the na
tion was preserved from destruction.
Jxrurtsox's ITorroxs oa "Conamost."—ln an
swer to questions put to him in 1786, before the
adoption of the present constitution, Jefferson
wrote: "It has often been said that the deci
sions of congress are impotent, because the
confederation provides no compulsory power.
But when two or more nations enter into com
pact, It is not usual for .them to say what shall
be done to the party who infringes it. Decency
forbids, and it is as unnecessary as indecent,
because the right of compulsion naturally re
sults to the party injured by the breach. When
any one state in the American Linton refuses
obedience to the confederation by which they
have bound themselves, the rest have a natural
right to compel them to obedience. Congress
would probably exercise long patience before
they would recur to force; but if the case ulti
mately required it, they would use that recur
rence. Should the cue ever arise, they will
probably coerce by a naval force, as being more
easy.".
We quote this for the benefit of those who
are continually howling over the idea of coer
cion. If it was a proper mode of dealing with
refractory states under the old confederation,
who will question the right and propriety of
its exercise under the present constitution ?

WiLwaisroar, MD., June 26, 1861.
For several days past matters have been
wearing rather a quiet appearance, and but lit
tle excitement has been manifested. The troops,
however, are anxious for a brush with the Re
bels, and can scarcely await the meeting of
Congress, when it is confidently expected war
will be declared. Rumors are constantly afloat,
as to a portion of the southern army on their
march for this point, with the expectation of
gaining possession of Williamsport, but the
strictest watch is kept up, and an attempt on
their part to cross the Potomac in the neigh
borhood, would prove rather a barrier to their
prospects. The guns in' charge of the Fort
Sumter men were planted yesterday, and hav
ing a full sweep of the river for three miles in
either direction, it is hardly probably an at
tempt to cross, save at night, would be made.
' Immediately upon the completion of the work
on our fortifications, Capt. Doubleday, wishing
to apprize the enemy of our whereabouts, let
drive about a dozen of balls from his thirty
two pounders, which evidently caused a scatter
ing, as not a Rebel Picket has been seen to-day.
After the first shot was fired those in the neigh
borhood were seen making tracks in all direc
tions, doubtless of the opinion that they were
unwelcome visitors. This morning, however,
a messenger arrived in camp with the intelli
gence that a regiment of southern cavalry were
coming a few miles below, and would be on us
in less than a half an hour, As usual, no little
excitement was created, and the men, thinking
the brigade would immediately be formed, were
all astir and ready for action the moment the
command would be given. 'Unfortunately,
however, it proved to be a false alarm, and
again were we compelled to lay aside our arms,
and await with patience the further action of
our officers.
To day I have been visiting several of the
adjoining camps, and have found the troops
generally well satisfied with their positions.
The only thing yet lacking with many to make
them comfortable, are the uniforms, but I un
derstand they are now being supplied as fast as
possible. Many of the troops stationed here
the begining of last week, have been moved,
although they are yet stationed within an
hours march, should an emergency require
their assistance. Fresh arrivals of troops are
noted almost daily, and in a short time we will
have infantry sufficient to battle with all the
forces the south may see proper to send to this
point. As I write, the sixth, twenty-first and
twenty-third Pennsylvania regiments are pas
slag by, having just arrived, and from the late
ness of the hour it is highly probable they will
encamp in the neighborhood.
The rumor a few days since as to the execu
tion of Lieut. Colonel Bowman and Mr. Chase,
is no doubt incorrect. True there is considera
ble difficulty attending the investigation of the
' matter, but sufficient evidence has been produc
ed to warrant the belief that they are yet alive.
No attempts have yet been made toward their
rescue, nor will there likely be before the meet
ing of Congress. But few cases of sickness have
been reported since our departure from Camp
Scott, and contrary to the predictions of our
friends, the climate is very healthy. At present
the camp is very quiet, its inmates having gen
erally resigned themselves to sleep. More
anon. Yours &c.,

Last evening the police Commissioners, after
a consultation, issued orders to the police offi
cers to take off their insigni t of office—badges,
caps, buttons, etc., and virtually disbanded
them. The board issued a protest, which is
signed by the Mayor, as one 4... f the board.
Colonel Henley has been actively engaged in
swearing in a new police force. He has ap
pointed captains in all the districts. It was his
desire to retain the old police force as far as
possible, but the action of the commissioners
thwarted that intent.
SECOND DISPATCH
The public mind is in quite a feverish state
here to day, and there is much subdued excite
ment, but no demonstration has been or is
likely to be made. Considerable crowds sur
round the police stations, anxious to hear of ex
pected developments under the new police
regime. A search has been progressing in the
Marshal's office.
A.large quantity of arms and ammunition
were found secreted in a cellar' in the walls and
beneath the floors. A case of valuable pistols
and over eight hundred rifles, twenty-five of
which are of the minnie pattern, were among
the discoveries. The latter are supposed to
have belonged to the Massachusetts soldiers
who were disarmed by the mob on the 19th of
April. An immense quantity. of percussion
caps, estimated at 1,000,000, were also found,
as well as 3,100 ball cartridges, 6000 minie cart
ridges, and various other warlike articles, in
cluding balls for the steam gun. The search is
still progressing. It is supposed that a consid
erable quantity of arms will be found at the
various station houses.
This morning Gen. Banks issued an order
directed to Col. Kenly, in reply to the pfotest
of the Police Commissioners, in which he says :
"You will take special notice that by my pro
upon the members of the Board of Commission
ers and the Chief of Police. Every officer and
man with the exception of those persons named
will be continued in the service and ha the other
positions they now occupy, unless they shall
refuse. In such cases the Provost Marshal is to
select others to fill their places."
Among the articles found at Marshal Kane's
office, was a twelve pound cannon ball, bearing
the inscription : "From Fort Sumter to Marshal
Katie."

SOLEMN_FFNERAL PROCESSION
WASEaNGION, June 28
The steamer Pawnee arrived at the navy yard
this morning, bringing interesting but painful
intelligence from Mathias Point. According to
the statement of persons in the expedition,
Capt. Ward, of the Freeborn, yesterday obtain
ed from Capt. Rawer of the Pawnee a reinforce
meat of about twenty men, united with others
from his own vessel, comprising between thirty
and forty in all, started in several cutters for
Mathias Point, taking with them about 250
bags, which were filled with sand on shore,
and with which earthworks were soon erected,
the proceedings being under the direction of
Lt. Chaplin.
While in the act of returning to the Free
burn, for the purpose, it is stated, of obtaining
ramnon for the battery, a force of Confederates,
variously estimated at from 800 to 1200, sud
denly emerged from the thick woods in which
they had been concealed, and poured a volley
of shot into the Federal party, who made a
hasty retreat, several of the men by swimming,
to the Freeborn.
Capt. Ward, on the Freeborn, protected his
men as far as possible with his guns, and fired
twelve or fifteen shot among the rebels, with
what effect it could not be ascertained. While
in the act of firing a gun after, it 4s said, the
gunner had been wounded, Capt. Ward was
struck in the breast by a bullet, and in the
course of an hour thereafter died from internal
hemorrhage.
A sailor named Wm. J. Bess was wounded in
four places, it is feared mortally. Several others
were also . wounded, among them Jacob 'Wil
liams, the cox swain, a ball entering his thigh.
The flag he carried was completely riddled. The
men all reached the vessels without further
damage.
Capt. Ward's body was brought here to-day
by the Pawnee. In the funeral procession
which accompanied it from the wharf to the
place of temporary deposit in the navy yard,
was displayed the riddled banner. The gloom
which prevailed in this locality was oppressive.
The remains will be transported north. ,
It JS said that after the federal force retreated
Erma Nothlee - hint, the breartwerks were ire
mediately occupied by the confederates, and
that information had early in the day been
communicated by a negro belonging to Dr.
Howe, whose house was burnt by a party from
the Resolute on Tuesday, that the enemy were
in the neighborhood at least a thousand strong.
The negro had approached the Federal party
as a fugitive with his shirt on a pole as a kind
of flag of truce. He has been brought to Wash
ington quite happy because of his escape from
the neighborhood.
Three deserters, Germans, from the Pennsyl
vania Fourteenth, have been arrested, and will
probably be shot, as an example to others.
Some fifteen others had deserted from the same
regiment, most of whom have been caught, and
are on their way thither.
Thomas Wilson, and Jacob C. Grove, sup
posed secessionists, were arrested yesterday.
The sixteenth, sixty second and twenty-third
Pennsylvania regiments marched to Falling
Waters last night from Williamsport, and Col.
Thomas' cavalry and the First City Troop with
them.
Captain Parker's light battery has removed
from the fair grounds, two miles below, to
Falling Waters. Another heavy battery and a
second light battery are expected at this point
within a few days.
The correspondent has received an intimation
from a high official source that a forward move
ment of this column may be confidently ex
pected, as soon as sufficient transportation and
artillery are forwarded.
Some days ago I informed you that a rupture
had broken out between Davis and Lee, the
commander-in-chief of the Virginia forces. Al
though the report was not believed in many
quarters, I have the best authority for saying
that the dispatch in question was true. Indeed,
intelligence was received at the War Depart
ment to-day that General Lee had left the Re
bel army in disgust, and was anxious to have
his old position in the Federal army. Add to
to this the recent complimentary letter from
Mrs. Lee to General M.'Dowel, pubdshod some
days days ago, and it would seem as if she was
trying to pave the way for her husband's rein
statement.
BALTIXOB-E ? June 28
Passengers from Fortress Monroe by the boat
this morning, report that nothing had trans
pired there in the past twenty-four hours wor
thy of note. No letter was received from the
correspondent of the associated press at that
point.
Official letters were received this evening
from Gen. Patterson's column. They intimate
an early engagement with the rebels.
STARTLING NEWS FROM
But the context of Mr. Botts's letter is even
more surprising than the circumstances under
which it is written. He is in Washington as a
member of Congress, and is there we presume,
to take his seat in the House on the 4th of July
next. This important fact has been suppressed
by the Richmond papers, but we have the au
thority of Mr. Botts himself for the statement
in these precise terms : "I announced myself as
a candidate for the Richmond District, and re
ceived 173 votes, which, there being no oppo
sition, elects me."
But the letter brings us other and even more
important intelligence. We learn from it that
the Southern insurrection of white men is al
ready at the last gasp, while insurrections of
Southern black men threaten the destruction of
slavery. And these facts we havenot only on
the testimony of John Minor Botts, who might
be regarded as a partial witness, but on the au
thority of Gen. Beaurugard himself, who is cer
tainly more competent to speak upon the sub
ject than any other man in the country. Beau
regard, says Mr. Botts, has sent a circular
South, from which the following is a quotation:
"Is THE COMM STATES DO NOT RAISE AND EQUIP
ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND MEN IN SIX WEEKS, Whi
ARE RUINED."
So much for the White insurrection. On the
black, he says :
"Our troors in this State (Virginia) to a great
extent, are busy in suppressing insurrections
among the blacks. They are breaking out in
every direction." But this has a significance to
us, at the North, which puts a new face upon
this question. Gen Beauregard's circular adds:
"But for this your desire to see Washington-in ruins
would long since hare been gratified."
There is another bit of news in Mr. Botts'
letter more interesting than important. We
have more confidence in "'Extra Billy" Smith's
disposition than his power to do mischief. He,
says Mr. Botts, "is now in this city "—Wash
lngton. The object of his visit is to correspond
with Maryland traitors. The Legislature of
that State, Mr. Botts assures us, has been ad
vised 'by Jeff. Davis to continue in session, ad
journing only for short intervals. " Smith,"
he adds, " was in the War Department to-day
disguised as a beggar." It is proper to add that
we have the permission of Mr. Botts to give to
the public, this morning, the principal and
most interesting facts contained in his letter.
Our readers, no less than ourselves, will be
greatly indebted to him for this permission,
