There stands-England—the moat selfish and
treacherous of modern Governments. [Great
applause.] Upon the other side of tho Poto
mac stands a statesmanship bodged by person
al and selfish interests that cannot be matched.
.Between them, they hare hot one object; it
Is, in the end, to divide the Union. Hitherto,
the negro has been a hated question. The
earth, onr Union moves majestically on its
path and shuts him oat, In eclipse from the :
sun, from equality and happiness. He has ;
changed his position to-day. He stands bo
tween ns and the sun of safety and prosperity.
Ton and I are together on the same plat
form, upon tho same plant —onr object, to
save the institutions which our fathers i
ted, to save them In the service of justice, In I
the service of peace, in tho'service bl* liberty/|
In that service, we demand of this Govern- !
ment at Washington that they should matnro !
sqd announce a purpose. That flag, loworod
at Sumter, that fight at Bull Bun, will rankle !
in the heart of tho Republic for centuries.
Nothiog will ever medicine that wound but

that it knows well wheno*' came Its trouble
and is detcrminedfjto effect its cure, and con
secrating the banner of Liberty to plant it

THE PLEDGE HIDE BY ©UR PATBEBS.
But for me, I Would stand by tho pledge our
fathers made when 'they said: “Wo will
guarantee to evory State a republican form of
government.” T 6 our fethers, (heirs, and to
their fathers, mine-promised that in tho con
tingencies of tho foturo they would see,to, It
that free institutions should be preserved in
Lbo several States. 1 mean to try to fulfill
that pledge. I demand it of the Government
to announce to the world what they ncVcr
have done yet. I do not wonder at England’s
;-waot of sympathy with usi The South says,
am fighting for Slavery.” The North
says, “I am not fighting against it.” Why
should she Mr. Bussell' may
leap upland - them - as bel
ligerents almost before he has heard their
names; bat tho English people havo no
point upon which to hang their sympa
thy. I would have the Government an
nounce to tho world that we know this to be an
evil which has so troubled- ns for years ) we
know its.charaoter; wo know that it is unlike
democracy; bat we believe that this Govern
ment Is strong enough to allow evils to work
oat their death, and strong enough to faoe
them when they presume to interfere with os.
It was in the consciousness of strength, and
not in weakness, that onr fathers, when they
framed this Government, admitted the exis
tence of Slavery, and tolerated it, until tho
viper which we thought wc might safely tread
on, at the first touch of disappointment starts
with its poison'fangs. But our cheeks do
up v ,*,q its poison'fangs, ijqi uu<
not planch. Democracy accepts the straggle,
conseioafof Its forbearance for three genera
tions, confident that she yet has the power to
oxecatVhex' will. Sho sends hor f summons
to the GulfJ “Freedom to evory man beneath
tho stars, and death to every institution which
disturbs the post, or that threatens tho future
of the Republic.” [Applause.]

CWiat,) and the Roundhead regiment. The 1
men worn all glad of th*^hangt f ’an4 X thiflli j
they have Vettorcd their position materially. ;
1 No opposition was made to their landing at
Beaufort. Haring tbo night after their land- {
ing, however, one of the pickets, (of the Pa.
50th) was shot at and killed, by some Scces* !
aion sneak, and the next day all the troop*.,
excepting 500 of one of the regiments were
ordered to scour tbe island thoroughly and
Occupy the ferry landing’on the opposite 'aide
of tbe island. Since then no Secession troojps
haro been seen and the pickets bare been ofe
molested. \
The white inhabitants of tbe island had *ll
Jeft. Not one was to be found. The
were deserted, just as tbe owoers occupied
them, everything being left behind in the huf
ry to get away. Groat care has been
prevent pillage of the premises thus abamdog*
ed; but in vain. Every body wants some
“seccsh ’ - tr*pby to send homo, and every tbitfg
easily bandied or concealed has behn snapped
up and secreted until a good opportunity, od-’
curs for getting it North. ' 1
Tbe planters' houses on most of these sea
islands arc handsome, comfortable and sub
stantial residences. Many of them are vegy
tastily fitted up, and wc are evidently occupy*
ing the wealthiest nnd most flourishing part
of South Carolina. t;
Beaufort was tho summer resort of tUe
aristocracy of the State. Here tho*
show you tho villas of Rheti, Barnwell,
Pinckney, and the other names so familiar U>
northern oars in connection with various pro
lifics ; and on learning that thil house,
belonged 1o somo one or other of the toeß
whose names have grown historical, it would
seem as if the whole dtatd clustered here Sis
at a common point ot concentration. ..
And so, probably, it did. At least thp
wealthy rullugpartuf it. ’Beaufort was thus
thc Newport of the ritate. The sea bathing was
good, and the town itself a delightful one,Tot'
situation ; and they buve, themselves, adurnefl
and beautified it, ?u that it is a really attrac
tivo placo. Our occupancy of it, howoroi*,'
will most likely spoil it forever. The southern
nabobs will not again cluster at a place 90
easily captorcd from them by tbo bated “You?
kcos." T
The journey from here to Beaufort, a dijt,
lance of about LI miles, is a quite pluaaaqj
opo. Tbe channel lies between verdant ia*
lands, tbo shores dotted here and there with*
osy-looking residences; and at evoTy
foot of your progress you aro reminded
by some new object in tbe ever changing
scene, that is the oldest, tbo best sottled, the
most beautiful and wealthiest part of South
Carolina. At many places along tho shorcs/-
on Port Royal and St. llolcna Islands, tho
remains of some relic of tho early Huguenot
settlements on these islands aro pointed oat,'

but still a considerable portion will fall into
our hands. An agent ha< been appointed to
superintend the collection of it; and ho can
have any nniouut of "contraband” help bo'
requires.
Those who talk about tho attachment of tho
slaves to their masters Would be the better of
passing an hour or two amoDg theso contra*'
bauds. I crossed over, tho othor day, to Bay
Point, in a boat rowed by a “contraband ”
crew, who wero exulting io the delights of
their freedom. After singing ono of their
weird songs, in which they keep titno to
the measured stroke of their oars, the chief
singer of tbe party broke out with a “ Wbew I

Tboir attachment to tho “ woluntcers ” is
mnch greator, plainly, than for tbe Stato
which is not rich enough, in their estimation,
to buy them ; and they seem to (mo to) have
a much better appreciation of tho mission of
the “ woluntcers ” tbaa tbo men who com
mand them. The “ woluntcers'’ understand

J The brigade o( (ion. Vielc has net yet gone
off apon its southern expedition. Every day
for three weeks past it has been ready to
march at an hour's notice; bat the hoar’s
□otice has not yet been given; and it is now
announced that the movement has-been post
poned until Monday next. 1 hope.to bo gone
from horebeforo that' time, and therefore do
not expect to chronicle tbo deferred and
mentarily expected departure; unless, indeed,
which is not improbable, the postponement
may last until I get back again.
Gen. Wright’s brigado will permanently
occupy the lino of intrcnehmenw now con
structing, together with each additions to its
force as may from time to timo be' made to iL
The three brigades will probably occupy three
points on the coast—Port Royal Island, Hil
ton Head, and some one farther south—not
tar apart from each other; and it ia alao,
probably; the intention to' strengthen'each
brigade withjrcLaforceroenta, until eaoh shall
be able to- maintain itself against whatever
force may-attack them.
In pursuance of this presumed line of pol
icy, ono of the now Pennsylvania rogiments,
tinder Col. Power, of Johnstown, landed hero
on the 10th, and will go, I understand, into
Gen. Wright's brigade. Thu regiment of Col.
Coultor is also expected ; but whqro_it is to
go I have not yet learned.' There oto One or
two companies in Col, Power’s-regiment; but
I have not, yet; had a chance to see them.,
Since the brigade left, taking away the
Roundheads, and leaving me behind, I have
had a rather lonely time of it, although hav
ing enough Work to do to koop me busy. As
my work, for tho present, is aoont finished, I
entertain a lively expectation of getting home,
on a chart leave of absence, for a wock or
two. I am not just exactly home-sick j but
then I will not be sorry to got away from
here, if for even a short stay.
This feeling of home-feioknoss Is the hard
est which tho sick soldier has 'to struggle
against ;>and talking.of botne-sickoesa pats
me in mind of the poor fellows who are
doomed to tho awful punishment of being
sick in a camp. To bejust away from home
Is a calamity which every' man of cxpcrionco
dreads ; but to be a sick soldier is, it scorns to
me, tho hoariest of all human calamities. No
wonder tho poor follows who suffer under it
grow home-sick and die oudor (he weariness
of hopelessly longing to got home. It is the
hopelessness cf it which makes it so terrible.
Lctthono of jonr readers who hare friends
in the army, pray with all possible human
ferror that their frionds may bo saved from
camp sickness. It ia not that, tho physicians
aro poor, r or-carolets, roir at all wanting; in
humanity ; but thAtthero are no conveniences
to mako the sick at all comfortibloj hut fow
to sympthixo with them, and nothing .what
ever to'ehcor them and keop their sptrlW from'
sinking. That many die is no ponder i and,
the few who do recover *do so only ‘partially,
and wander about .oppressed; in
tolerable longing for homo which only a man
tnjsuoh condition eqnfoel ina.lMt* intensity;.
The truth of this was painfully apparent to
me a day or two since in passing the small
pox hospital on my way to the beach to gather.

malady were harried oat of camp into the !
depths of the pise forest which skirts the sea j
shore, to isolate them and-prevant iisspread. I
A wise precaution, you will say ; but fancy a
man, perhaps some well-to-do farmer or me
chanic at home, smitten with that
disease, and put into a tent by himself, away
from his, comrades, with no one to attend
him bnt some stranger who does not know
him, and probably cares little or nothing- for
him beyonJ the fact that he is paid 25 cents a
4aj extra for “ nursing him. This is bad
enough; but just when the disease'ls at its
height, fancy an imperatiro' order to remove
him to a tent in the forest- miles away;
imagine him placed in an army wagoo -with
out springs, and jolted over the rough ridges
of cotton and corn-fields, until whatever
chance existed of saving his lsfo is utterly
-loBt; and then think uf fatal, tossed on to 1 a
littor of straw, without a pillow, and no'ktad
hand to smooth it, if he had; and* it wilt
need no stretch of the fancy to think of him
dying unpltied, like a dog, to bo thrust, the
morrow, into a holedttgconveniently for his
reception. '
When oar citizexLsofcUdEi they
aro honored with gorgeous and pompous fu
nerals; and oven those who in camp are
honored with the mockery of a military escort
—eight men with arms reversed, and a dis
mal fife and dram, or still more dismal regi
mental band squeaking a mournful dirge.
But these unfortunates "have no tnnsic except
the hoarse manner of the sea as it beats con
tinually upon the beach, ur the wailing of the
winds as they sigh in the pines overhead, and
they are consigned to a hole catled-a grave,
without a coffin, it. mayhap with no shroud
but the clothes they have died in, and~~with
out a tear or word of sadness over their re
mains. Let those, I say again, who have
friends in the army, pray ardently that they
may bo saved from such a fate as this. For
many mercies 1 strive to feel .truly thankfnl;
but fur no mere earthly mercy do I feol so
thankful, after what I have seen, as for that
my health has been so kindly preserved. If
I, without an ailment, long to got back, how

ILiltos Head, Dec. IC, 1861.
I have received the expected order to return
home, uD«I urn noW on buard of the Atlantic,
tbo celebrated steamship of the Collins line.
She is not so large as the Vanderbilt, but the
quarters are much more comfortable, the fare
better, and everything on board in much bet
ter trim. The officers are gentlemen in every
way, and that is saying a great deal, in speak
ing of those connected with this expedition.
A large-number of old laden-with
stone, arc In the harbor, intended'fdr staking
at the mouths of the southern inlets, instead
of blockading them. Three have been taken
down to the mouth of Savaonuh rivor; but
tho agents of the government, finding them
practically useless for the purpose designed,
sunk them together near Tyboe Island, with
tho intention of Snaking a wharf out to them
from the landtag on the island, Whensunk
they fermod a mere breakwater,andwillhave
to he surrounded with pilej to. .make oyon ft
safe wharf. T.wo others are to be sunk near
in shore at Hilton Hoad, for the samo purpose.
Whon sunk, the crib-wharf now constructing
will be extended (jut to fhom/andth&govarn
mcat will thon have a tolerable wharf. At
present everything is landed in small boats
from tho transport*.
Our troops havo now full possession of Ty
bce Island,. and . are. .cpnawnHy .tsinLforeed.
Thov will intrench cannot
~bo driven out. Tho guns on Forf Pulaski
have been repeatedly turned upon them, but
without effect; and it is now certain that the
enemy there cannot disturb them. Our gun
boats and light transports now pass to tho
island and buck by tho inner channel near the
main land, hitherto traversed by. tho enomy,
;.in perfect security from oUr blockading squad
'‘hm: .
This channel, running between the islands
and the main land, extends from Savannah to
Charleston, with numerous outlets to the sea;
and it was by this means the blockado was so
frequently evaded. It is now in our posses
sion from Otter Island to Tyboe, and wo con
sequently command all tho numerous naviga
blo inlots with which tho coast of South Caro
lina abounds.
Speaking of Tybce Island; reminds me that
General Sherman is indignant at the newspa
per reporters for spoiling LU projocts for cap
turing Fort Pulaski. It was giveh out at
headquurters some timo ago that our gun
boats, firing a. sholl a miaote, could reduce
the fort within a givcQ timo. The newspaper
reporters blabbed this, tho enemy got to know
it, and since then 4,000 rebel troops have boon
thrown into the fori. Henpo, this morning,
the General issued an order banishing all tho
reporters and ordering their instant departure
home. The reporters, equally indignant;
druw up a protest, the General has reconsid
ered the matter, and<to-night thero is to be a
council held upon it. Hosult written in ad
vance—the reporters will triumph.
Some days ago out troops jvero sent to
Otter Island, an island farther up the coast
towards Charleston than apy wn hate before
occupied. They met with no opposition. We
now hold Otter, Port Royal, Bunting, Pinck
ney* St. Helena, Hilton Head and Tybce
Islands, with several smaller islands inter
vening, embracing the entire coast from Sa
vanfiab-'ntirthwTrnf to Edisto. An expedition
consisting of threjs guqbpata.struts to-night
for .Edisto. On the' northern end ‘of the
island, commanding the ehtranco to Edisto
river, are sovoral rebel batteries, and to-mor
row |the Pawnee, with tho two gunboats ac
companying hor/ will undertake tb dislodge
thorn. X have a fancy, that they will succeed.
Toe Roundhead Regiment is stationed at
the Ferry on the shore of Port Royal Island
nearest the main. On the other sido of tho
narrow inlet, which separates the two, thero
are 4000 robeltrOops, which are throwing up
The intrenohments arc not
considered 'of aoy importance, as a gunboat
-can shell them easily and drive out their oc
cupants without trouble. The pickets of the
enemy extend to the ferry.landing on thi
other side, and oar pickets hold conversations
them, qaite socially, considering tho
circumstances.. This ds much better than
pickets shooting at each other. The proba
bilities are that thero will be a battle at tbat
Forty befbre long.
Beaufort has been a place of great attrac
tion, to every oAe, And all-wbo have visited it:
speak in high, terms of its beauty. The resi
dences are. palatial, the strcotsiwide and firm,
forming beautiful drives, and the gardens

anxiety to protect the property of these blood
thirsty villians, joat as if it were possible to
conciliate them by kindness. Oar troops at
Beaufort are in tents, instead of occupying
the oomfortable houses of the rebels, and are
not allowed to enter the town. Strangers,
also, are prohibited from entering the houses
or carrying anything off.
Of course, this vigilance has-been evaded, i
and many things hare been brought off by vis- J
itors, especially such os could bo carried off in
their pockets. On Thursday and Friday last
every man in possession of such trophies
, bpxed them up and sont them home by Ad
ams' Express, concluding .that that mustjjo
safp beyond .doubt. On Saturday tho boxes
wote sent to tho wharf for shijKhont on the
Atlantic; but tho Quartermaster refused learo
to send them off until examtnedby the provost
Marshal. On Sunday the Provost Marshal
had every box opened and the contents strewn
- on the wharf; and every article from Beaufort,
no (matter how small, was taken out and con
fiscated.
This, with all deferonoe to the views of the
Government- agents, strikes me as not only a
sinsU piece of business; but essentially wrong
in policy. The rebels, knowing that they
deserved punishment, hive run off, leaving
everything behind them. Thoy have shown
themselves Incapable of appreciating thokind
nesa and forbearance of the Government, and
there is nothing to be gained by trying to
save their property from pillage. Congress
has pointed out tho way to confiscate the
property of rebels, thus recognizing the prin
ciple of confiscation ; and the surest way of
punishing these rebels u to take everything
frojn them. And particularly their negroes,
whp should be doctared freemen, at once, by
actlof Congress.
Tho Atlantic is now taking in a lot of sea
island cotton, gathered by the Government
agent on the adjacent islands. The lot con
sists of 50,000 pounds.. About one-half of
whjch is anginned. It is. worth, in New
York, some 50 cents a .pound. The agent,
CoL Nobles, thinks thero are at least 4,000,-
000 pounds gathered and to bo gathered, and
if Bdisto island'ii taken, Os much more.
This cotton goes to New York, to be sold
on I Government account. And now 'qwre t
If it is-right to take a rebel's cotton, how can
it be wrong to take the books in his library,

Another ExOliuister Arrested for
Treason—George W. Jones in
Custody.
At eight o’clock last evening Superinten
dent Kennedy received a dispatch from the
Secretary of Stato ordering tho arrest of
George W. Jonca, of lowa, late Minister to
Bogota.
Tho order of arrest was delivered to detec
tives officer Farley, who .wont to Jersey City
'and awaited the arrival of the train from
Washington. Tt camo in at five o’clock this
moaning and the gfficcr.lost.ng^tiino'Ln.taking
Mr. Tones Into custody. ''
Ho was conveyed to Police Headquarters,
wboro he now remains. 1 .
Mr. Jones professed the utmost surprise at
bis arrest, as ho had had an interview with
Mr. Seward yesterday of an unusually cordial
character, and loft supposing that all was
right. He attributed the circumstances to
tho officiousnosS of several persons at Wash
ington who wero unfriendly to him, and de
clared that hi* loyalty was beyond question.
Tho Provost Marshal of Washington had
also come in tho train, and hastened, to tho
Central offico this morning to obtain the ar
rest of the cx-Ministcr. He insisted that Mr.
Jones was at one of tho hotels, and asked for
an officer. Ho was agreeably surprised to
learn that Mr. Jones was already in custody.
