TEX 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 E hifatielphia, by that
miserable apology for a man, Pierce Butler, has
&yipped a, portion of this pecular feeling, and
we discover that
,ruen and journals sympathizing
with traitors are epally 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 t.) 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 laboring 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 Colton.
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
floes of its edilion 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 s and sympa
thy* Irsuch a proceeding, but declares Its firm
eonviction that there is no principle in law to
sustain the action. In this,conviction 114 4
Herald Is sustained by the ablest publicists in
the country.
The proceedings instituted in this case are
not to beregarded as of any Importance in a
legal sense. Laying aside the formalities of
theorise, 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 pußpetend poppin-jay, Butler, who
is the to Wharton; his connect!,
should have had a cell in Fort Warren or
LaftiyettselT months since. It is one of those .
cases n Aloft men strive to wreak their ven :
geance on their superiors, by the tricks and
iheiegal profession.; and when Pierce'
Butler engaged Wharton, there was doubtless a
bappyosongratulation of treason on both sides,
on Alte,prospect of making a judicial example
of a •idea who had done his whole duty in
arresting and confining traitors.
The itart,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 labJrs, but the result will end
with Its own personal gratification, simply be
cause the sheet has neither circulation or inflei
ence in 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. OA this acno f unt, while we are disosted
with its falsehood and low venom, we can af
fordittidlsplae :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 Emden are an inconsistent and incon
siderate people when their lust for lucre is
wooled. What they do not possess or cannot
monopolise, 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
eonipetition with illuminating and lubricating
artialf a . , of .an inferior
,quality produced in
England, At first they strove to show that
petrdislint-was another name for pargfine, an En
glish iniention ; and the parties who claimed
the patent for parafine • acttudly applied to the
Ohatkoslior for an injunction against,thpas who
were offering the "American parafine" for sale
in the English markets.. Other parties strove
to impress the Lord Mayor of London that the
*Attie. was combustible. and therefore importers
of petroleum should be restrained in offering it
for Side 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 froze flowing into England except that
which is brought there by English trading
vessels. - They are opposed to paying cash for
anrarticle, and most opposed to acknowledge
that-ther is a production any where that can
not he excelled in some way either by the soil
or tAmi;genius of England. The petroleum of
Pennsylvania will some day be as important

This is the rub which scratches the British.
LOYAL MEN IN 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 theywould 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 hniniliating 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 countriee, these once
free states, made prosperous by the indepen
dence and fteedom of their laboring masses,
were to be brought within the control of the
capitalists of Europe, and an aristocracy created
here such as, rules Lathe 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 Prance and England, and making fiee'irtide
the policy of the confederacy, the French and
English governments ware 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 ryilling atsalstwe to a consummation
which was designed forever to put an end to
man's right of self-governor out.
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
tinentin pursuit of pleasure, or in England at
tending to their-own private, urgent business.
Yet theseioyal American citizettshave succeeded
in producing the most wonderful results, and
accomplished ends such as we could not have
gained had the rebellion remained concealhd 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-hol4iing traitors. .The fact is also
clear that, had these aristocracies hadtie cour
age, the confederate ministers plenipotentiary
would have been received' at St. James and St
Cloud immediately after the surrender of Fort
Sumter, or certainly after the battle of Bull
Bun. But these influences were counteracted
by the intrepid loyal men in Europe, who, dis
covering the tendencies and plots of the aristo
cracies, carried thedause of the American Union
to the rostrums of England, and there, before
the masses of Engliehthen, plead the case of
human independenci. 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
sityof American independence and the stability
of the American "Union, in trier) , 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 Whqse, 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 andintelli
gent travelers and sojourners in Europe, the
condition of the rebellions/0-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 CASE PAYMENTS."
Nothing in the world is more deceptive than
figures. The proverb, "figures won't lie," is
a moat mischievous !Li in. itself. . Figures will
lle, 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
proposition, save by a 'quail example.
We are informed by southern papers that
slave property maintains its price, in spite of
the war. ThlPharleston Mercury quotes the
prices of slaves from actual transactions :
"Four fellows, 17 to 28 years of age, brought
sB,42s—average, $B5B. In noting sales in
Sammie, we are to bear in mind'.the currency.
That makes a decided difference of exchange;
srhiott 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
gram sold at $B5O each, we are to remember
that eight hundred and fifty dollars, confed
erate currency, twin the world' market equiva
lent to one-twentieth that nominal sum.
In short, these slaves were sold at eight or
nine hundred dollars each, confederate cur
rency—in gold- coin, about- forty-five dollars
apiece.. The vendor eouldnot convert the price

lisw YORK, April 18
The steamer M'Clellan has arrived from Port
Royal with dates to the afternoon of the 14th
inst.
The United States frigate Vermont was being
towed into Port Royal by the steamer Star of
the South as the ArClellan 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 ropuds 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 fort sur
rendered.
Cul. Olmstead stated that It was impossible
to hold out longer, our rifle shots reaching the
magazine and most of his guns disabled.
The Seventh Connecticut regiment took pos
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 and five rebel prisoners are
on board the McClellan in charge of Colonel
Murrow, aid to General Hunter.
Among her passengers are Lieut. Badea, aid
to Gen. Hunter, bearer of despatches, Captain
Cooley of the fitti Massachusetts, a guard of
seventeen soldiers of the Rhode Island regi
ment, and seven discharged soldiers and me
'chanics.
By the McClellan we learn that Jacksonville,
Fla., had been evacuated by our troops.
The soldiers recently there arrived at Hilton
Head, on board the steamer Cosmopolitan, on
the 15th inst.

SANDY HOOK, April 18.
We opened our batteries on Fort Pulaski on
the morning of the 10th. After thirty • hours
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
ppunds of power, 860 prisoners, with their
small arms and acoutrements, and a good sup
ply of provisions. One of our men was killed,
and not one wounded.

The French steamer Gassendi is still at Nor

from Richmond, where it is presumed here
that he has gone to secure the safety of the

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 be in
great force, awl the work of entrenching pro
gressing throughout the peninsula. Reinforce.
nients were constantly 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 forte,, and driv
ing them‘rom the peninsula.
There is almost constant skirmishing going
on by the riflemen and occasionally shot and
shell are thrown with great rapidity.
Just as I close this letter I learn that there
was quite a heavy skirmish this morning be
ibpd Warwick Court House on the James
eassrny attempbng to turn our left flank,
the attack was made in quite heavy force, but
the enemy were repulsed after a brisk artillery
duel.
The loss of the enemy is thought to have
been quite heavy. We lost about a dozen in

During Tuesday and Wednesday, the 'gun
boats amused themselves by shelling the itoods
below Gloucester. One of them approached
within two miles of,TOrktown, yererday:mor

battery, concealed in the woods. The - boat

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 weredis
mounted, when both , rattles ceased for a while,
but the fire was renewed on our part late iiirthe
afternoon, and continued till daylight ' Ibis
morning, effectually preventing the rebels
from repairing the damage they had sus
tained.
