Friday Afternoon, April 18, 1862.
THE NEW YORK WORLD AND ITS BID
FOR SOUTHERN SUPPORT.
There is a persistency in the efforts of those
in the north, who are pledged to give aid to
the south, that is both astonishing and fearful.
When they are frustrated in one subterfuge,
they promptly adopt another, and with the
prolific propensity peculiar to accomplished vil
lains, they are never at a loss for pretexts to
assail the federal government or assist its rebel
foes. In this respect, the arrest of Gen. Simon
Cameron, in the city of Philadelphia, by that
miserable apology for a man, Pierce Butler, has
developed a portion of this pecular feeling, and
we discover that men and journals sympathizing
with traitors are equally anxious to applaud
or assist in this high handed outrage, not only
on the dignity and power of the federal gov
ernment, but also on the individual responsi
bility of its cabinet officers. Among the jour
nals aspiring to respectability, or rather the
only newspaper which applauds the proceedings
of Butler, is the New York World. That jour
nal justifies the action, and declares that there
is sufficient ground on which to rest the pro
ceeding instituted by Pierce Butler against Gen.
Cameron.
There can be nothing gained by entering on
the discussion of a legal point with The World,
or any of the journals labcring for the same
end, and hopeful for the same gains. We must
therefore waive such discussion, and deal with
The World as it deserves. Under the garb of
attachment to Republicanism, it is in reality a
most venal and servile caterer to King Cotton.
It is owned and controlled by the tape and cal
ico aristocracy of New York city. It has no
circulation beyond that class, save such por
tions of its edition as are smuggled to the south
for•the benefit and consolation of the friends of
the aforesaid tape and calico aristocracy. The
New York Herald, which has more than its share
of audacity, and has attempted many bold
strokes to aid the south and retain the favor of
the slave oligarchy, differs distinctly with The
World on the subject of this arrest ; and not
only ridicules the attempt of the northern
dough-face to manufacture capital and sympa
thy by such a proceeding, but declares its firm
conviction that there is no principle in law to
sustain the action. In this conviction
Herald is sustained by the ablest publicists in
the country.
The proceedings instituted in this case are
not to be regarded as of any importance in a
legal sense. Laying aside the formalities of
the case, it has nothing legal in any of its fea
tures. Its whole proceedings are based on
low malice, from the oath and action of the
miserable puppet and poopin-jay, Butler, who
is the principal, to Wharton, his counsel, who
should have had a cell in Fort Warren or
Lafayette six months since. It is one of those
cases in which men strive to wreak their yen_
geance on their superiors, by the tricks and
skill of the legal profession ; and when Pierce
Butler engaged Wharton, there was doubtless a
happy congratulation of treason on both sides,
on the prospect of making a judicial example
of a man who bad done his whole duty in
arresting and confining traitors.
The part which the New York World seeks to
play in these proceedings, suits its tastes and
and its talents. There may be someting self
gratifying in its labors, but the result will end
with its own personal gratification, simply be
cause the sheet has neither circulation or influ
ence iu the free states. In this city alone, the
-Herald or the Tribune circulates a hundred copies
where the World is perused by only a dozen peo
ple. On this account, while we are disgusted
with its falsehood and low venom, we can af
ford to dispise its efforts to assist the dough
face sympathisers with rebellion by attacking
loyal men, and justifying traitors in their at
tempts to lower the dignity and the glory of
the Union.
Tan ENGLISR are an inconsistent and incon
siderate people when their lust for lucre is
aroused. What they do not possess or cannot
monopolize, and what they have not invented
or are unable to equal, is always either value
less or useless. On this account they are now
opposing the importation of coal oil or petro
leum, because the article is bound to come in
Competition with illuminating and lubricating
articles of an inferior quality produced in
England. At first they strove - to show that
petroleum was another name for parafine, an En
glish invention ; and the parties who claimed
the patent for parafine actually applied to the
Chancellor for an injunction against those who
were offering the "American parafine" for sale
In the English markets. Other parties strove
to impress the Lord Mayor of London that the
article was combustible, and therefore importers
of petroleum should be restrained in offering it
for sale of warehousing it within the limits of
London. These objections and subterfuge on
the part of English manufacturers and chem
ists, are all for the purpose of preventing any
trade from flowing into England except that
which is brought there by English trading
vessels. They are opposed to paying cash for
any article, and most opposed to acknowledge
that there is a production any where that can
not be excelled in some way either by the soil
or the genius of England. The petroleum of
Pennsylvania will some day be as important
an article of trade and commerce as any of our
natural productions. It will not only puzzl e ,
but it will control English manufacturers.—
This is the rub which scratches the British.
LOYAL MEN .1"1N EUROPE.
One of the main influences the rebels hoped
to command as conducive to the success of their
rebellion, consisted of the aid they calculated •
to receive from foreign governments. They
never for a moment imagined that the stability •
of this government was as essential to the pre
servation of the "equilibrium" of Europe, as
the restriction of the territorial boundaries of
any of the nations on that continent, within
their own natural limits, was necessary to the :
peace and protection of Europe. The first idea
of rebeldom was manifested in their indecent
haste to make slavery the foundation of their
bogus government. This was the bait that
would attract European governments to sym
pathize with the south ; and while they were
thus outstripping in barbarity and oppression
the most absolute and tyrannical rulers in the
universe, the southern traitors vainly imagined
that they would thus also please the notions of
the aristocracies of the old world, win their fa
vor and support, and consequently establish
their government on a firm and lasting founda
tion. By totally disregarding the rights of la
bor—enslaving it where its votaries came with
in their reach, and humiliating it where the
chains of the slaves could not be fastened about
its necks, by bringing it into competition with
the pauper labor of other countries, these once
free states, made prosperous by the indepen
dence and freedom of their laboring masses,
were to be brought within the control of the
capitalists of Europe, and an aristocracy created
here such as rules in the kingly lands of the
world, by exacting from labor the largest share
of its production, and compelling industry of
every description to contribute to the support
and distinction of an exclusive class. By open
ing the ports of the south to the manufacturers
of France and England, and making free trade
the policy of the confederacy, the French and
English governments were considered certain
to render aid and sympathy in return. By
making slavery the main feature of the gov
ernment, the petty kingdoms and contemptible
republics of South America were expected all
to join the south, while such powers as Spain
and Portugal throughout the world, would
lend their willing assistance to a consummation
which was designed forever to put an end to
man's right of self-government.
Opposed to these influences—and which seem
ed almost potent for a time—there was only a
small band of men in Europe, either on the con
tinent in pursuit of pleasure, or in England at
tending to their own private, urgent business.
Yet these loyal American citizens have succeeded
in producing the most wonderful results, and
accomplished ends such as we could not have
gained had the rebellion remained concealed in
its preparations instead of developed in its pur
poses. There is no doubt that the sympathies
of the aristocracies of Europe were against the
federal government, and warmly in favor of
the slave-holding traitors. The fact is also
clear that, had these aristocracies had the cour
age, the confederate ministers plenipotentiary
would have been received et St. James and St.
Cloud immediately after the surrender of Fort
Sumter, or certainly after the battle of Bull
Run. But these influences were counteracted
by the intrepid loyal men in Europe, who, dis
covering the tendencies and plots of the aristo
cracies, carried thecause of the American Union
to the rostrums of England, and there, before
the masses of Englishmen, plead the ease of
human independence. The same band of men
announced the real issues of the fight in the
saloons of Paris ; and carrying it still further,
they proclaimed the doctrine and grand neces
sity of American independence and the stability
of the American Union, in every capital of
Europe, until the corrupt aristocracies of• the
old work shrank from the work of destruction
they had prepared to assist in accomplishing,
and stood trembling before the half aroused
and indignant masses whose fury they had so
lately beheld, and of whose revenge they
desired no further illustration. It was these
loyal men, acting on these half aroused and
panting masses, that prevented the kingly gov
ernments of Europe from interfering in the
rebel effort to destroy American independence ;
and had it not been for these brave and intelli
gent travelers and sojourners in Europe, the
condition of the rebellion to-day might have
been a success.
In our future records of the efforts to sup
press rebellion, we trust that the men who la
bored so - bravely and so ably in Europe, will
not be forgotten. They deserve a recognition
and honor such as are not won on battle fields.
They are entitled to the gratitude of the world,
and the lasting commendation of the American
people.
"PLAIN FACTS AND CASH PAYMENTS."
Nothing in the world is more deceptive than
figures. The proverb, "figures won't lie," is
a most mischievous lie in itself. Figures will
lie, and unless they are carefully watched they
will steal, as many a merchant has found to his
cost. But our purpose is not to illustrate the
pkoposition, save by a small example.
We are informed by southern papers that
slave property maintains its price, in spite of
the war. The Charleston _Mercury quotes the
prices of slaves from actual transactions :
"Four fellows, 17 to 28 years of age, brought
S3,42s—average, $856. In noting sales in
Secessia, we are to bear in "mit►d the currency.
That makes a decided difference of exchange,
which is to be taken into account. A Haytien
dollar, we believe, is worth about six cents
A confederate dollar is 'probably below the
Haytien standard. So when we read that ne
groes sold at $B5O each, we are to. remember
that eight hundred and fifty dollars, confed
erate currency, is in the world market equiva
lent to one-twentieth that nominal sum.
In short, these slaves were slid at eight or
nine hundred dollars each, confederate cur.
rency—in gold coin, about forty-five dollars
apiece. The vendor could not convert the price
into money recognizable_ in the markets of the
world, at any higher rate than that.
CoNyEDERATE BONDS are said to be selling in
Virginia for five cents on the dollar; while
shinplasters are at such a ruinous discount that
even the rag peddlers become shy of them I
Surely affairs must begetting desperate in Dixie,
and the monstrous fungus of Secession must be
wilting fast.

The United States frigate Vermont was being
towed into Port Royal by the steamer Star of
the South as the M'Clellan sailed.
The following is an account of the capture of
Fort Pulaski.
On the morning of the 10th, Gen. Gilmore
sent a flag of truce to the fort demanding its
unconditional surrender.
Col. Olmstead replied that he was placed
there to defend, not to surrender the fort.—
Whereupon our batteries immediately opened
fire. A few rounds shot away their flag, but it
was replaced and the firing kept up till sun
set. Gen. Gilmore then placed a battery at
Goat Point, only 1,600 yards from the fort to
breach the walls and commenced firing at mid
night, for that purpose, at midnight with Par
rott and James guns.
On the morning of the 11th two breaches
were discovered on the south east face of the
fort, which at noon assumed huge proportions,
and about 2 o'clock the rebel flag was hauled
down, a white flag displayed, and the foit sur
rendered.
Cul. Olmstead stated that it was impossible
to bold out longer, our rifle shots reaching the
magazine and most of his guns disabled.
The Seventh Connecticut regiment took pbs
session that night.
Our loss was one killed and one slightly
wounded.
The rebels lost only three badly wounded.
The garrison of the Fort numbered three
hundred and eighty-five, who are now prisoners,
and one hundred arid five rebel prisoners are

Gen. Hunter, commanding the federal forces in
South Carolina: .
We opened our batteries on Fort Pulaski on
the morning of the 10th. After thirty Lours
continuous firing a practicable breach was
made. All preparations were made for
storming, and it was about to com
mence when The rebel flag was struck. We
captured 47 guns,7,ooo shot and shells, 40,000
pounds of power, 360 prisoners, with their
small arms and acoutreinents, and a good sup
ply of provisions. One of our men was killed,

BALTIMORE, April 18.—The American's Fort

indications of the reappearance of the Merri
mac, though the weather is favorable, being
calm, with high water.
The French steamer Gusomdi is still at Nor
folk awaiting the return of the French minister
from Richmond, where it is presumed here
that he has gone to secure the safety of the
tobacco purchased by the French government.
At intervals last night and this morning heavy
cannonading could be heard in the direction of
Yorktown.
A party of deserters, who came into our
lines, report the arrival of Jeff. Davis in the
rebel camp, and that it was understood that
he would take command in the approaching
battle. They represent the enemy to he in
great force, and the work of entrenching pro
gressing throughout the peninsula. Reinforce
ments were constahtly arriving from Norfolk,
Fredericksburg and even from North Carolina,
and that rebel generals openly declare the in
tention to make this the great battle of the
war, and the strongest conviction is expressed
of a triumph over the Federal forces, and driv

There is almost constant skirmishing going
on by the riflemen and occasionally shot and

NEAR YORKTOWN, April 17—Rec'd 8.10 P. M.
To the Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary o
War :
During Tuesday and Wednesday, the gun
boats amused themselves by shelling the woods
below Gloucester. One of them approached
within two miles of Yorktown, yes'erday mor
ning, when the rebels opened from a new
battery, concealed in the woods. The boat
having obtained the position of their guns, re
turned to her position without receiving any
damage.
The firing to-day was renewed at long in
tervals. ,
The rebels, yesterday morning, with one
thousand men, commenced to strengthen a
battery located about three miles to the left of
Yorktown, when a battery was brought to bear,
causing them to beat a hasty retreat. The
rebels opened with their heavy guns, when a
second battery was brought forward. A brisk
fire was kept up for about four hours, during
which three of the enemy's guns were die
mounted, when both parties ceased for a while,
but the fire was renewed on our put late in the
afternoon, and continued till daylight this
morning, effectually preventing the rebels
from repairing the damage they had sus
tained.
The loss of the enemy must have been con
siderable, as the firing of our artillery was very
accurate. Our loss was:—Sergeant Baker, Sec
ond Michkran, killed; and F. Page, company
K, Third Michigan regiment, both feet shot off.
Also, four horses were kill 2d.
Yesterday, Richard Painter, of Berden's
sharp-shooters, was probably fatally shot while
on picket duty.
Other engagements took place yesterday,
further to the left, and near tue James river,
in which our troops showed great gallantry.
The results have not yet been ascertained.
[SECOND DISPATCH.]
WAgrumnoN, April 18.—The following dis

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, }
April 18, 1862.
At about one half hour atter midnight, the
enemy attacked Gen. Smith's position, and at
tempted to carry his• guns. Smith repulsed
them handsomely, and took some prisoners. I
have no detail yet. I will forward them as
soon as my Aids return. The firing was heavy.
All is now quiet.
:THE LATEST.
The position occupied yesterday by General
Smith was entrenched last night, so that we
have been able to prevent the enemy from
working to-day and kept his guns silent.
There was the same result at the batteries
at Hyan's Mills, Yorktown, which shelled our
gunboats and some of our barges to-day with
out effect. There was a good deal of firing
from the Yorktown land batteries.

Our troops occupied Mount Jackson at seven
o'clock this morning, and are now in front of
Reede's Hill, where the enemy appear to be in
force. The people report that the rebels intend
to make battle' there. They resisted our ad
vance in order to gain time for the burning of
the bridges and railway cars, engines, &c., that
had been accumulated at the terminus of the
road, but our movement was sotudden and the
retreat of the rebels so precipitate that we were
enabled to save the bridges, two locomotives,
and some cars. Ail these had been prepared
with combustible material for an instant con
flagration.
Many prisoners have been taken, and several
fine horses captured from the enemy.
The troops have acted admirably. They

The bill to establish a land office in Colorado
was taken up and passed.
Mr. HAI'S, (N. H.,) from the special commit

and the armory at Harper's Ferry, made a vo
luminous report, which was ordered to be
printed.
Mr. Helms (N. Y.) introduced a bill increas
ing the salaries of surveyors of the ports at
Albany and Troy, New York. He explained
that this bill dispensed with several officers at
these ports, and increased the compensation of
the surveyors. The business of the government
could be attended to as efficiently by three in
place of the seven officers now employed, while a
saving three or four thousand dollars would be
effected. The bill was referred.
Mr. SUMNER, (Mass.,) introduced a resolution
calling on the superintendent of the census for

Mr. M'Doutiaim (Cal.) introduced a resolution
calling on the Secretary of the Interior for a
statement of the amount paid for legal services
by the Government in suits in California during
the last four years, and also during the same
period in Mexico, and for what special service
the said sums were paid. The resolution was
passed.
the bill establishing an armed mail steam
ship from San Francisco to Shanghai, touching
at Sandwich Islands and Japan, the vessel to be
commanded by a lieutenant of the navy, was
taken up.
Mr. Suanutn, (Hass.,) briefly opposed the bill,
as causing expenditures not warranted during
the present war.
Mr. LATHAM (Cal.) favored the bill as one of
real economy, and compared our Pacific squad
ron with that of Great Britain in the North
Pacific, and argued that this armed steamship
line would increase our naval strength on those
waters. He urged its vast importance in a
commercial view.
Pending a vote on the bill, the hour for the
special order arrived, and Mr. Roweao (Mich.)
addressed the Senate on the bill to confiscate
the property and free the slaves of rebels.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The House passed the bill making further
appropriations for certain civil expenditures,
including five hundred thousand dollars for
the completion of the west wing of the Treasury
Department.
The House proceeded to the consideration of
the Private Calendar. Among the bills taken
up was one which was reported by Mr. Ward,
authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to
