The Patriotism of an American
Woman.
The following eloquent communication from
the pen of one of the most accomplished women
in the State of Pennsylvania, cannot fail to
elicit a patriotic response from the readers of
the TELEGRAPH :
GEoitata BERGNER—Editor of the Telegraph:—lt
is with feelings of the highest gratification that
your many readers notice the continued and
elevated American tone of the editorial articles
in regard to the seizure and release of Mason
and Slidell, in the TatEciankit, since oar late
misunderstanding with England. You repudi
ate, as all other true Americans should, that
affiliation for Great Britain which she in her
arrogance and conceit seems to expect from us,
in return for her insincerity and pretended
"national friendship" toward us. England
seems to forget that the American nation is an
educated one, and that our masses can and do
read her many dissimulation toward us, as
readily as her learned ministry would those of
any other government toward England. The
American people, however, have more genuine
christianity among them, than the proud aris
tocracy of England have, and American forbear
ance and charity is frequently mistaken by the
blustering and aggressive Englishmen for an
ignorant submission to "English superiority."
England, likewise, has ever . apparently looked
down upon our growing Republic with a sneer
ing contempt for the perpetuity of our institu
tions. She has also shown a great readiness to
ridicule our military defences, our pecuniary
resources, our enterprises, our habits, our edu
cation,--all that pertains to us
.as a nation, ex
cept our commerce ; that was a golden link which
England has long acknowledged and compla
cently bowed to. Our commerce has added
greatly to the comfort and wealth of England ;
whereas our glorious institutions, and our un
precedented national prosperity under the be.
nign influence•of those institutions, is a contin
ual contrast for down-trodden Irishmen and
poor Englishmen to dwell upon, and long
for. The aristocracy of England foresee a:,
element of monarchial destruction in so
bright an example as the American Repub
lic sets to their people and the world. They
therefore sincerely hate everything pertain
ing to American greatness, so they sneer and
hiss at it, like any other venomous serpent
would. They try to hide their fears under a
show of contempt.. Americans understand
this, and they only pity England's weakness,
hoping for better things hereafter ; when Eng
land too shall have shaken off her gilded
shackles of royalty, and all men there declared to
be free and equal. There is however a strange
inconsistency in the persistent disposition of
English Lords, etc.,' to call England • " The
Mother Country" of the United States of Amer
ica. There must he some dissimulation in this.
England either seeks by it to .renew and estab
lish her old colonial claim Upon us, or she
seeks to flatter us into certain commercial re
lations most favorable to herself. It is, how
ever, becoming more and more offensive to the
good taste of our American people, and since
the "Trent affair" is perfectly intolerable, and
it is right that we should henceforth emphati
cally disavow any, and all parental relations
with England, or any other kingdom of Europe.
The American people are descendants of
Europearg who sought America as an asylum
from monarchial oppression, and who by so
doing sundered the tiea that bound them to
the kingdoms of thefe- several nativities,
and
they became, as their children afterwards were
by birth, American citizens. They were no
longer Germans, Irishmen, Frenchmen, Eng
lishmen, Ste., but legally Americans, and as
such they and their posterity scorn to call any
other country a " mother country." American
freedom and her glorious form of government
had a higher origin than could possibly be de
rived from the pampered and rotten institu
tions that England glories in. American insti
tutions were .modeled after the teachings of
Christ. The. Bible bequeathed us from Heaven
was the book that our forefathers loved and
took counsel from, and they learned therein the
value, capacity and inalienable rights of a hu
man being; and they shaped our form of free
government to suit all of our wants and exigen
cies as a free and enlightened nation ' - just as
our God and Heavenly Father indicated them in
that blessed book. Heaven then is the paren
tal country of American freemen, and not rot
ten, tottering England. It is a libel for Eng
land to assume a parental relation toward us,
and we resentingiy fling it back to her. We
are nationally as distinct from the English as
we are from the Hottentots. It is true that a
few Englishmen have emigrated to America,
and have becomce one with us; but to their credit
we may say that they have renounced their
citizenship in England, and they and their ,
posterity are Americans, and we all regard them
as such. Our flag protects them as such from
future English tyranny. Futther if all of Eng-
land, including the Royal family, were to emi
grate hither, and take the oath of allegiance
they would receive the same rights and pre
rogatives of other loyal citizens of this Union,
and cease to be Englishmen thereafter. We
trust, however, that the day is not distant
when British soil will be free, and Britons,
whether English, Irish, Scotch or Welsh
will no longer need to Americanize them
selves to enjoy the inalienable rights God gave
them. In the meantime let us consider wheth
er it would not be to our advantage to contract
our commercial relations with England, who
has shown herself to be so bitter an enemy of
ours. Taking the earliest , opportunity to make
war upon us, when we already have made large
drafts upon the patriotism of our people, to
quell an unnatural rebellion, and where bluster
and insolence only was foiled by the superior
statesmanship of our present administration,
and their strict adherence to, the American ver
sion of -neutral international law. Would it
not be better for America henceforth, to de
pend more wholly upon her own resources?
England can sell America nothing that Ameri
ca cannot raise, produce or manufacture in one
or other of her great States herself ; then why
not, if need be, pay a trine more for au Amer
ican article, and thereby encourage hours in
dustry, and home enterprise, and secure
upon a solid basis American prosperity
and wealth. What if one individual
save a few pennies, or dollars, by
purchasing a British article, cheaper than an
American article can be produced for, by em
ployers who pay their workmen just wages.
Is mean economy the kind that an elevated American
, cople should stoop to? Is it to be the low policy
of a claristian people, as we are, to save a few
dollars by substracting largely from our Na
tional wealth and prosperity, to add to that
of English capitalists, who tread their poor
"INDEPENDENT IN ALL THINGS-NEUTRAL IN NONE•"
HARRISBURG, PA., TUESDAY AFTERNOON, JANUA.RY . 14, 1862.
laborer into the dust, and make very slaves of
them ? No ! we cannot thus crush out our
consideration for the noble working classes
that America is blessed with. Their welf ,re
must be cared for as well as our own, and since
England has refused to sell to our government
such articles as our present emergency de
mands for the immediate use and comfort of
of our brava and patriotic soldiery, let j us
scorn to buy or wear English silks, laces or
fine linens. We do not need them, and it is
in very bad taste for American women to con
tinue their use, and we trust that, hereafter,
Fashion will eschew everything of English
manufacture. Much might be done to humble
British consequentialness without immediate
war, but at the proper time we all expect to
take the thcrepid old " British Bull" by his
hollow horns, and let him feel " Brother Jon
athan's" strength of grip, who has an enlight
ened' people to aid him on the battle field, as
well as stout arms, and good guns, and great
ships. A christian people too, that are blessed
by the guidance and protection of Heaven,
and who are not afraid of British prowess
even now, with a Southern rebellion to quell
iu addition, Americans feel that they have the
'right, and they leave the issues with God,.
who in his own good time will end their bat
ties right, and give them the victory.

CONCLUSION OF YESTERDAY'S PROCEEDINGS.]
AVASHLNGTON, Jan. 13
SENATE
Mr. KING, (N. Y.,) offered a resolution, ask
ing the Secretary of War to inform the Senate
what payment was made for freights to the
railroads in Maryland and Virginia for trans
portation in connection with the army.
The morning hour having expired the Senate
proceeded to the consideration of unfinished
business, and the bill providing for the appoint
ment of sutlers and defining their duties was
taken up.
The question was on Mr. Cantata's motion
to recommit the bill with instructions to abol
ish the office of Sutler, and provide tobacco as
a ration. After a discussion the bill was again
postponed at the suggestion of Mr. WILSON,
who said he would Wing in another bill in
regard to the subject, which he thought would
be more satisfactory.
On motion of Mr. Wthsox, the bill to in
crease the clerical force in the department of
the Secretary of War, was then taken np.
On motion of Mr. HARRIS, (N. Y.,) the bill
was recommitted.
On motion of Mr. Clam, (N. H.,) the case
of the contested seat of Kansas was taken up.
Mr. COLEMAN, (Vt ,) moved that the con
testant Mr. Stanton be allowed to be heard be
fore the Senate on the question. Agreed to.
Yeas 22, Nays 4, as follows : Dixon, Hale,
Sumner and Wilkinson.
Mr. RICE, (Minn.,) called attention to the
rules of the Senate.
Mr. FEssiaNDEN (Me.) moved to reconsider the
vote. The 19th rule of the Senate reads that
no motion 041 be deemed in order to admit
any person within the doors of the Senate to
present any petition or make any address.
The motion to reconsider was retused.
Mr. STANTON, the contestant, then appeared
and took a seat.
After a lengthy discussion the Senate went
into executive session, and subsequently ad
"oume(i.
ROUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The House resumed the consideration of the
amendment reported to the House from the
committee of the whole on the state of the
Union to the civil appropriation bill.
Mr. Dawns, (Mass.) from the Government
contract committee, said, in explanation of his
former remarks, that the charges on the Trea
sury art, now such as nearly to reach its bot
tom. He called att.intion to some facts, touching
the manner of immense public depredations.
One of the very first contracts made is April
last was for furnishing two thousand two hun
dred cattle. The parties who received this con
tract put into their pockets thirty-two thous
and dollars without moving from their seats,
they having Fold it to parties who furnished
the. cattle and who also made twenty
six thousand dollars by the speculation.
Next was the article of shoes.—A million dol
lars worth had been already worn out and a
million more are to be manufactured, and to
each of these there has been a waste, of seventy
five cents. There were 83 regiments of cavalry,
a thousand strong, eech in the field, and it re
quired two hundred and fifty thousand dollars
to put each regiment in motion. Twenty mil
lions were thus required to be expended on the
I cavalry before they left their encampments.
Many of the horses bad been brought hither
and literally starved to death, while many parte
of the district present a horse Golgotha. Four
hundred and eighty-five of a thousand horses
which had just reached Louisville were found
to be utterly worthless, while the others were
not worth twenty dollars apiece. Some were
blind, spavined, ring-boned and affected with
every other disease to which horse flesh is heir.
These 485 horses cost the government $58,200,
and $lO,OOO more to get them to Louisville.
They were purchased in Pennsylvania, and be
longed to Col. Williams' regiment of cavalry.
Two millions of dollars were placed in the hands
of an incompetent editor of a newspaper for dis
bursement. He went straightway into the pur
chase of linen' pantaloons, straw hats, London
Porter and dried herrings, until he spent two
hundred and forty thousand dollars. He then
got scared and quit.
Firewood has been contracted and drawn at
seven dollars a cord, while the Government
was left to draw the wood. He noticed other
abuses, saying that a hundred millions have
been expende since Congress met in Decem
ber for the army in repose. What, then, will
the expenditure be when that coveted day of
our army in motion arrives. When the
history .of the present times shall be writ
ten, the question will be determined
whether the guilt will rest on him
who conspired to destroy the country, or upon
him who proved incompetent to preserve the
institutions bequeathed to him by our fathers.
As to our finances, treasury notes were now at
five per cent. discount. The sutlers—the curse
of the camp—was following the paymaster as
the shark follows the ship and buying for four
dollars in specie five dollars of the wages
of soldiers paid in Treasury Notes.
An ignominious peace is upon us unless we see
that the credit of the country is sustained and
unless we convince the people of our determina
tion that we will treat as traitors, not only
those who, in arms, boldly and manfully meet
us face to face, but those who clandestinely and
steadily draw our life blood from us. In con
clusion he argued against paying for printing
the treasury notes on the ground that the con
tract was improperly obtained.
An amendment was adopted appropriating
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars for the
i
engraving and printing of Treasury notes, in:
addition to the former appropriation. It pro,
vides that no part shall be applied in the pay
ment of any sum on any existing contract.
The bill was then passed. Adjourned.
DISCONTINUANCE OF RIMEL NEWEIPAPEIRS.—The
