Friday Afternoon, June 2Z, 1882,
ISCARIOT had a right (?) to betray the Saviour,
if he insisted on the liberty of speech to which
the Patriot lays claim this morning. We all
have a right to differ and cavil and object, but
is it discreet or patriotic to exercise such a right,
when the example thus set may lead otuers
into wider extremes tending in the most serlms
danger to the country. It is thus with those
who are attempting to misdirect the public
mind on the subject of taxation. They take
the fact that enormous sums of money have
been spent in preparing to pot down rebellion,
and make that au argument to prove the extrav
agance of the Li: coin administration. They du
not state, however, mat more than one-half of
the sum expended by the government in tho
securing its own protection, was made neces
sary by the fact that, under a Democratic ad
ministration the resources and the property of
the country were shamefully squandered or de
stroyed tor the very purpose of giving force to
treason. If a Democratic administration bad
not countenanced the dismantling of forts and
the robbing of arsenals, traitors would never
have been able to organize an armed corporal's
guard. If the cabinet of James Buchanan had
not countenanced and conducted the larcenies
by which the government was thus deprived of
its means of defence, the expenses of this re
bellion would not have exceeded that which
was necessary to defray the cost of recruiting
and subsisting an army. But we all know that
the rebel army is now fighting the government
with arms which were placed at the disposal of
the south by a Democratic administration ;
while the men themselves, who composed that
administration, are all in the ranks or the com
mand of that same rebel force. With these
facts before the country, such journals as the
Patriot seek to mislead the public mind on the
subject of taxation, by charging that there has
been a great fraud perpetrated. But its editors
fail to point cut the real perpetrators of that
fraud, as they have failed of late, in expressing
or printing the truth on all subjects relating to
the real interests of the country.
—So far as the subject of taxation is concerned,
the people are not likely to be mislead by any
thing which the Patriot may publish. That sheet
has attempted to mislead the masses on other
subjects, and it failed. It attempted a few
weeks since, to induce the men who compose our
armies (so far as its influence went) to lay
down their arms and stop fighting—and it also
labored very hard to show that repudiation so
far as taxation was concerned, would become
one of the most sacred duties of the American
people. Of course such boldness of editorial
effort, comes under the head and was justified
by the great right of the liberty of speec h ; but
as yet we have heard of only one man willing
to lay down his arms, an 4 he is determined to,
get all the pay possible for services which he,
never rendered. There is nothing wrong about
over paying the failures of an ambitious Lieu
tenant-Colonel, but it is most outrageous to
think of remunerating any number of tax collec
tors.
This, joined to the Patriot's notions on
the subject of the freedom of speech—the free-I
dum which permits that sheet and its upholders
to belie the administration for the purpose of
retarding the operations of the army, and in
ducing the masses to repudiate the taxation
which Democratic misrule and treason made it
necessary to levy—all these only justifies
the presumption, that the Patriot and its edi
tors are as much imbued with treason as are its
old southern allies who are now 15ngased in
cutting the throats and rifling the pockets of
the wounded defenders of the Union.
Warm Tna CINOINPATI Tams refers to the
Pennsylvania Reserve Corps as being eight
thousand strong, it misms an important figure.
The actual strength of that really splendid
corps is fifteen thousand men, better equip
better dialed and arm-d than any similar nii;.
ber of men in the army of the Po,omaeAte
is the pride of the State that those men
were all recruited and ready for service at the
very moment they were most needed, a fact
which may be exclusively attributed to the
Lyethought, judgement and indomitable ener
go of Gov. Curtin.
EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
CARLISLE, June 26, 1862
A ride from the State Capital through the
Cumberland Valley, to Carlisle, at this season
of the year, is one of the most delightful that
can possibly be afforded -by any of the various
railoads which connect localities and intersect
each other over the vast and now verdant ter
ritory of the Commonwealth. Rich in agricul
tural improvements, inexhaustible in, natural
advantages, peculiar for the intelligence and
enterprise of its population, this valley has al
ways exercised almost a potent influence on
the business and politics of the state, giving to
the one a large portion of that security which
has gained for it this confidence of the producer
and consumer, and to the other adding to that
dignity and purity which have made Pennsyl
vania respected throughout the Union. Al
most every acre of land by which the railroad
traces its iron length, is under the highest
state of cultivation. The crops with which the
valley abound are promising of the greatest
abundance—the appearance of the country is
most delightfully interesting, with its well
tilled fields, its qarming demesne, stately
barns and innumerable orchards ; while
along this great valley prosperity seems to
have paused to distribute its most liberal gifts,
as if to mock the desolation with which the
desperation and treason of a people have cursed
other portions of this once peaceable Union.
God has blessed the Cumberland Valley, and
man rests secure in that blessing as he ac
knowledges its gifts by the labor of his own
hands in efforts to extend and perpetuate God's
boun ties.
Yesterday morning, I was very pleasantly
entertained at the annual anniversary of Dick
inson CAlege, one of the oldest and most pop
ular institutions of learning in the Commou
wealth, and with a reputation, too, that ex
tends far beyond the limits of the state. The
order of exercises embraced a large variety of
subjects, eliciting the peculiar ability of each
student, and testing in several instants, the
powers of those who then for the first time
contested for the good opinions of an audience.
It is of course impossible for me to give in de
tail a full descripti. n of the subjects discussed
and the style of the different speakers, so 1
must content myself with only such a brief
&Hutt( n as will give the reader an idea of the
character of the exercises.
The 'Salutatory Addrus, a Latin composition,
by Daniel M'Curdy, of Chester Valley, Pa.,
was very gracefully deliVered, and, judging
from the approving manner with which it was
received by protessors, people and students
present, it was also as gracefully composed.
An Essay on Eiatory, by William 0. Corn
man, of Carlisle, showed thought as well as
ear's' ch, while its delivery evinced consider
ably elocutionary powers. National Greatness, an
Incentive to .Action, was the title of an oration
by Albert N. Weir, of Rockdale, Pa., which
abounded in practical thought and patricitic
sentiments. Au etuay on Government._ b_v
Horace Buckner, of Lexington, Ky., was a fat
lure ; and whether it was such on amount of
the production, we could not judge, because
the student broke down after reciting the ini
tial sentences of the essay. Love of Fame, by
A. Preston Gilbert, Rarford county, Md.,
proved that the author had a bright concep-
don of the real as well as the beautiful. Wm.
M. Ogilby, of Carlisle, delivered a classical ore--
don on The Fell of Euperstitution, of polished
diction and lofty eloquence ; which can also be
written of the oration of Isaac M'Curly, Balti
more, on the Character and Influence of the
Puritans. Who are the Puritans ? by James H.
Loomis, Carlisle, in our estimation was the most
scholarly production of the occasion. He made
his mark, and we predict for him great success
in whatever position he may hereafter seek.
Impulse or Feeling, an ,oration by George T.
Mutter, Emmittsburg, Md., had little merit
except the perseverance which the student dis
played in hurrying through the recitation of his
production. We can speak more favorably of a
disquisition by Martin C. Herman,Cumberland
county, entitled Permanence of Literary Fame.
The elocutionary powers of Mr. Herman are
marked and perfect. He recited his produc
tion with an easy flow and cadence at once at
tractive and pleasing. W. Princeton Willey,
Morgantown, Va., delivered a very fair disser
tation, entitled...3lms Estimated; while the philo
sophical oration of Thomas M. Chaney, of Cal
vert county, Md., was highly approved by the
audience. The master's oration, entitled Pre
judice, the Bane of Truth, by Alexander H. Ege,
of Mechanicsburg, lost most of its merit in its
great length. We can, however, commend the
student for the manner in which he had pre
pared and the grace with which he delivered
his production.
After the degrees were conferred, a ceremony
with which our readers are all acquainted, the
Tided:dory Address was delivered by William
Coffman, of Chester county. We need only
write that it was equal to any fitimilar address
a t .
delivered at sifiy of the many . m, 'cements
of this time-irnored institution ; ...
Altogether, the ceremonies of t ' occapion
were most gratifying, as well for the success of
the graduating class, as for the marked ap
proval with which the audience regarded the
labors of the faculty of Dickinson College.

THE caner of summoning General Pope to
Washington has at lenth became apparent, and
we think the whole country will be satisfied
with it. The straggling and conflicting manage
ment of our affairs in the Shenandoah valley
under Banks, Fremont and Shields, having
produced results against which the people have i
cried out very properly. The various bodies com
manded as above have been oonsolidated with
those under McDowell, so as to form one pow
-6,1.1111 army, of which Pope is to have the chief
command : with Fremont as commander of the
first corps, Banks of the second, and McDowell
of the third.
Pope is just the man for this position. He
.as from the very outset of big career in Mis-
`.outi. proved himeelf to be one of the ablest and
Most scientific soldiers our country has produc
ed. To him is attributable in a high_ degree
the discipline of our forces in the west, and the
success of our operations there. He has cap
tared more rebels than all the other generals in
our armies put together. We feel most heart
ily rejoiced at his being placed in command of
the "Army of Virginia. ••

Interesting Correspondence Between
Gen Butler and the Acting

[From the New Orleans Picayune, June 17.1
Stanislairs Roy, alias Murphy, Patrick Clary,
Geo. W. Grage and Frank Newton, condemned
by Gen. Butler to . suffer death for beiiig con
cerned in the robbery of Mr. Weisshar's house,
in Toulouse street, (already mentioned,) and
as being a. gang that, under pretence of au
thority from Gen. Butler to search for arms,
had committed numerous other robberies, were
hanged this morning inside the Parish Prison.
Roy and Clary were banged together, and of
terwards Grage and Newton.
The condemned prisoner, who assumed the
name of Theo. Leib, a native of this city, on
account of his youth and other circumstances,
had his sentence commuted to imprisonment
on Ship Island at hard labor during the plea
sure of the President of the United States. A
large number c.f . United States officers and a
few citizens witnessed the execution of these
men. Outside, all the morning, there was a
large assemblage of people, and, as usual,
many of them women, who, hough they could
not witness the awful scene, stood in a dense
mass under the broiling sun, apparently, like
Micawber. waiting for something to turn up.
INTERESTING COBJIESPOIIDENC 11-HICE MAJESTY'S
NEw Ottmares, June 11, 1862.—Sir—It has
been represented to the undersigned by Mr.
Coves, of the commercial firm of Coves & No
groponte, carrying on business in this city, that
certain sugars bought by that firm, conjointly
with Messrs. Ralli, Benachi & Co., also carry
ing on business here, are not allowed to be sold
or taken from the place in which said sugars
are stored, without further orders from you
We beg here to state that Mr. Coves repre
sents to the undersigned that the sugars in
question, 8,205 hogsheads, have been bought
tor, and are the property of British, French
and Greek subjects, and with which fact you
are already acquainted:
The purchases of these sugars were effected
et various times, ranging from January to
March Ist, paid for at the time of purchase, in
the usual manner in which such business is
carried on here by foreign commercial houses,
when purchasing for account of distant parties
i. e., by the proceeds of bills of exchange,
drawn by the pu:chaser here upon the bunt
fide owner of the produoe.
These transactions were strictly mercantile,
and feeling assured by the Proclamation issued
by you under date of May Ist, had they had
any fears before, that this, the property of
foreigners, was sale and would be accorded
protection, as stated in the Proclamation, such
as had been granted heretofore to such pro
perty, wider the United States laws, the per
chmers of these sugars were anxious to ship
them at a time when other such shipments were
being made; but, by your older, as Stated
above, were prevented, thereby entailing upon
the foreign owners great loss.
But as the undersigned are disposed to waive
all past proceedings, they beg that the ceder
not permitting the removal of the produce in
question be recorded, and that the sugars be
at the dicpos a of the purchasers, to do with
them as they may see fit, or that the under
signed, if compatible, in consideration of the
interest* concerned, be placed in possession of
tt.• 'fact.; whien caused-each_ order to be4ssued,

laws and the proclamation of their Majesties,
the Queen of Great Britain and the Emperor of
France. What distinguished thif twoteases,
save that drawing the sterling bills is it, more
safe and convenient way of eluding the laws
than sending bullion inispecie, and thus assist

It will be claimed that to assist the rebellion

of their own ft.il,w citiz.nis, who have, by their
aid to rebellion, brought oisicust and suspicion
over all. Wishing to treat you, gentlemen,
with every respect, I have st.t forth at length
f lorae of the reasons which have prompted my
action. There is one phrase in your letter
which I do not undersraud, and cannot permit
to pats without calling attention to it. You
say, "the unclert•ignecl are disposed to waive all
past proceedings," etc.
What proceedings have you, or either of you,
to " waive" if I rio feel disposed so to do ?
What right have you in the matter? What
authority is vested in you by the laws of nations
or of this country which gives y. ir the power
to use such language to the representative of
United States in a quasi official communication ?
Commercial agent 8, merely of a sobnrdinate
class, Consuls have .o power to waive or con:
done any proceedings, past or present, of the
Government, under who , e protection they are
permitted to reside, so long as they behave
well. If I have committed any wrong to Mr.
Covas, you have no power to waive or pardon
the, penalty, or prevent his having redress. If
he has committed any wrong to the United
States you have still less power to shield him
from punishment.
I take leave to suggest as a possible explana
tion of this sentence, that you have been so
long dealing with a rebel Confederation, which
has been supplicating you to make such repre
sentations to the Government whose subjects
you are, as would induce your sovereigns to aid
it in its traitorous designs, that yon have be
come rusty, in the language proper to be used,
in representing the claims of your fellow citi
zens to the consideration of a great and power
ful Government, entitled to e qual respect with
your own.
In order to prevent all misconception, and
that, for the future, you gentleman may know
exactly the position upon which I act in regard
to foreigners resident here, permit me to ex
plain to you that I think a foreigner resident
here has not one right more than an American
citizen, but at least one right less, i. e. that of
meddling or interfering, by discussion, vote or
otherwise, with the affairs of the Government.
I have the honor to subscribe myself,
