PIPTTSR UR G 11 :
TUESDAY MORNING AUG. 20
Thp:Last Speeds of Stephen A. Douglas.
In the speech made by Stephen A.
Douglas at Chicago,. May Ist, he used
these admirable and memorable words :
"Moister is not prepared to sacritl se party organiza^
tibgqiand Platform on the altar of his country does
tot 4t , uetzt the support and countenance of honest
pail& Roes ae toe to overcome partizan antipathies
rn the minds of men of all parties so as to present a
_united front in support of our country! We must
cease discussing party issues, make no allusions to otd
party teats, have _no criminations and recriminations,
indulge in no taunts one against the other, as to oho
Aas been the cause of these troubles.
"When we shall have rescued the (Inocmninent and
country from 16 perils, and seen its flag floating in
triump% over every inch of American soli, it will then
be time enough to inquire as to who and what has
bra! ght these troubles up= us. When we shall have a
coritryanda Government for our children to live in
panee*Wiappfiness, it will be time for each of us to
ty banners according to osr own
convictions,ooight and duty. Let him be viarkea as
no true piciiiiittaho trill not almadaa oU such
times like this."
IT WAS ALWAYS THUS.
During the revolutionary war we had
our tories, who not only refused to re
spond to the call of their country in its
extremity, but took up arms against it,
betrayed its purposes, murdered and
pillaged in the most cowardly and
treacherous manner. They were in favor
of the king of England, and opposed to
George Washington and the Continental
Congress. We had again in the war of
1812, tories of a more depraved and
culpahle order. At that time our repub
lican forth of government was in suc
cessful operation, its blessings acknow
ledged by millions of its prosperous
people, the pride and wonder of the
world. The issue between despotism
end freedom was no longer doubtful. The
nations of the earth had acknowledged
our independence, and we were able to
maintain it. It was during this second
war, traitors to the freest and best gov
ernment on earth swarmed the land ;
they not only refused to serve when
. -• . ere demanded, and to furnish
`money when appeals for material aid
was sought, but betrayed the plans of
the Administration in power, corres
sponded with the enemy, threatened
seaceialicri from the Union, and gloated
'with Ae.Moniac glee over every reverse
to our arms. They danced with delight
when the capital of the nation was
sacked and destroyed. Our pride re
ceived a fall in the eyes of Europe when
the particulars of our inglorious rout
before the capital became known. The
loss of the public buildings, even the
archives of the nation, was nothing
compared to the loss of prestige and
power which clings to the possession of
capitals in every nation. We suffered
then, as we would suffer now, unspeak
able humiliation in its loss. Members
of Congress refused to vote lor sueplies
for the army and publicly declared they
would not so vote if the guns of the
enemy were thundering against the
wall& of the Capitol itself. Since then
we were engaged in war with
another foreign power.. The char_
acter,•the power and strength of the
government was pledged to the world,
to - our own people, to maintain with all
• possible vigor, the war declared. Our
country, right or wrong, was the rally-cry
*orig . the people; it was prosecuted
**Rh Vigor to a successful and triumphant
termination. One of the herilca of that
war was elevated to the highest Office in
the gift of the American people, incon
sequence of his gallant conduct upon
the field. One other still lives, the
premier of Generals, the object of our
highest admiration, almost the sheet
anchor of our hopes. Notwithstanding
the popularity of the war and the suc
oem of our arms, men were found in
Congress voting against supplies to Gen.
•licott, and men who voted for supplies,
denounced the war as unholy and
uncalled for, embarassed the Adminis
Aragon .and obstructed its power. Men
were found to deitounce those then in
charge of the executive powers of the
government, upon every hill ; news
papers in every town, and pulpits in
every city, rang forth the cry that the
government should be paralyzed in its
'efforts to carry on the war.
We have also traitors now—men who
fatter in their duty to the government;
who take counsel of their pride and
piejiadines rather than their patriotism ;
who have not learned to ignore faction
and party, and to admit that the man
he has been opposed to his lifetime in
politics, can be and is the friend of his
`Country, no matter who holds the reins
of government: But these men are
few compared with our past struggles ;
they differ rather as to the means of
carrying on the war than to the war
itself. They are nevertheless criminal
if they refuse to accord a hearty
and loyal support to government,
*hen assailed, to the extent of their
ability, when that does not involve the
losi of manhood and its attributes;
the right of voice in the management
',ofpnblic affairs, the right to warn the
-pea le against encroachment upon-their
:liberties, the right to warn them of
traitors and corrupt public servants.
We have fortunately impart) , arrayed
as formerly against government ; there
are individuals, too insignificant,
.almost, to attract notice—the failure,

go at once. The news of a defeat or u cheek to
.
our arms is saddening, but that our
troops made a good fight against al
most triple odds, is inspiring. But the
question naturally arises, why was the
odds against us in Missouri ? How . in
it that, at every important point, the
rebels are in superior force t All sc..'
tive operations have been paralyzed du
ring the spring and summer at Nor
folk, in consequence of the superiority
of the enemy. At this point we., have
been held at bay, and, at length,
when an attack upon the rebel camp is
made, the repulse is explained by the
declaration that we went on the field
with fifteen or eighteen thousand, and
met the enemy with thirty.five to fifty
thousand, with a reserve as large as the
active force. It is undeniable that,
when the battle of Bull Run was
fought, there was at least sixty-five or
seventy thousand men in McDowell's
division, in the vicinity of Washington;
but for some reason, only fifteen or
eighteen thousand could be brought in
to action. At Harper's Ferry we could
do nothing on account of tha superior
forces of the enemy under Johnston;
and at length we have been outnumber
ed in Missouri end driven back by the
.rebels.
BEEP AND PUDDING.
John Bull don't like Bull's Run, Mr.
Russell don't like Bull's Run, and the Lxo,
don Times is very snobish about- the fight
and . the foot race. We are not very much
concerned whether John Bull likes it or
not.. Nobody asked him for even his opin
ion. There is nothing, except the invasion
of our hearth stones, which would so
quickly concentrate and hold ono million of
men, so readily as the interference of Eng
land in favor of the South. It would sor ve,
but to set the country in a blaze, and
manifest a power unheard of in the annals
of warfare. About tho Limo England is
ready to embark, Ireland will be on her
flank.
POINT OF ROCKS.
A gentleman who left Harper's Ferry
on Saturday at noon says that a forward
movement of the rebels is apparent in
that vicini and that hot work may be
looked for soon. Gen. Johnston was en
camped five miles beyond Point of
Rocks, from which place his flag staff
can be distinctly seen. Colonel Geary's
Regiment was at Harper's Ferry.
THAT NEGRO REGIMENT.
- ,A correspondent of the New York Times,
wad.* 'date of Friday last Bays: "To
'day a negro arrived in our lines, and
was brOught to Gen. Mansfield's effice. He
is one of the celebrated negro regiment.
He fought at Bull .Run, and made his es
cape with a servant of Beauregard, after
the battle and succeeded in reaching Point
of Rocks after great privation. He states
that a regiment of one thousand slaves
wore brought from the Cotton States, and
the perfection of their drill led to the or
ganization of two regiments of negroes
from South eastern Virginia. Before they
were compelled to drill three hours a day,
and for several hours besides were put to
work in the intrenchments. At night
they were penned up in the rear, and a
strict guard placed over them: The Vir
ginia negroes were nearly anxious to escape
and would do so when the opportunity oc
curred. Those from tho Cotton States,
however, wore fearful of doing so, having
been made to believe that their lives would
be in danger among our troops."
PASSES REVOKED.—An order has issued
from GeneraLMcClellan's , office revoking
all passes heretofore given, of any kind
whatever, and stating 'flat in future all
such passes will emanate only from the
War Department, the headquarters of
the United States army of this division,
or from•the Provost Marshal at Wash
ington. Similar powers will be required
to cross the river, by bridge or boat, into
Virginia. Strict military surveillance
will be exercised within the lines of the
army on the northern side of the Poto
mac, and upon all the avenues of every
kind, by land and water, leading to and
from the City of Washington, as wet'
over persons holding passes as all others.
SENTENCE OF MUTINEERS.—On Friday
last sixty non-commissioned officers and
privates of the Second Maine and thirty
five non-commissioned officers and pri
vates of the Thirteenth New York were
sent to the Navy Yard to be put on
board a naval ship and transported to
the Dry Tortugas, there to work out
their salvation in the performance of
fatigue service, they having refused to
perform duty in their regiments agree
able to the oath they had taken.
SYMPATITY IN GERMANY.—The mail re
ceived by the last steamer brings to the
GOvernment the assurance that among
the German Governments there is not
only a lively interest in the result of
the rebellion, but a warm sympathy
with the government. From England,
there,is nothing more favorable to the
govefnment than heretofore.
THE SEVENTY-NINTH.—The CHM of the
mutineers of the Seventy-ninth will be
tried soon. This regiment is now in
camp and has returned to quiet obe
&Aloe. Their arms have been returned
to them, and it is probable that they
will receive their colors in a few days,
if they continue to conduct themselves
properly.
THE Herald publishes a sensation BLory

on Governor's Island, and the escape of

News from Gen. Banks , Army.
A letter from Sandy Hook, dated Ba
more, August 16; 1861, says :—"A gentle
man from Martinsburg yesterday reports

scouting that section of country, and ,daily
firing upon our pickets and Itnion rogitives
as well as paying frequent -vitas _V. the

it is reported a party of one hundred and

outside of Harper's Ferry. The camps
remain very quiet. All appear to have

?of some weeks the Press has en
deavored to atone for a too presumptuous
criticism of military affairs by a de
gree of meekness or silence which is
scarcely consistent with its boasted in
dependence, and rather disproportion
ed to the necessities of the case. But
in the meantime the people will thirk
and talk, and it is needless to disguise
the fact that there exists great dissatis
faction with the management of public
affairs. How is it, they ask, that with
three to four• times the population, ton
to twenty times the pecuniary and other
resources of • war, and with the pres
tige of an old and established Govern
ment, the rebels can always bring more
men into the field than the supporters
of law and order? It cannot be laid to
a want of patriotic ardor, for the diffi
culty with the Government has been
to restrain the people, who have shown
a disposition to rush to battle, which
riot even the rebels have exhibited.
Regiment after regiment has been
raised and tendered to the War I )epart•
meat, but rejected, for some reason
which the people cannot understand.
It is said that the Government accepts
all it can provide for. But it is not ex
plained how the rebels, with their des
titution of money, credit and niuni•
Lions of war, manage to accept more
regiments than we do, and to provide
for them. We hear much of their des
titution, their disorganization and their
lack of arms, but they nevertheless
keep together, and manage to outnum
ber us on every important field of
battle.
The brief telegraphic account of the
battle at Springfield informs us that
Gen. Fremont would immediately send
reinforcements to meet our retreating
forces at Rolla. The battle was expect
ed for weeks before it occurred, and for
at least one week it was known that the
enemy had two or three times as many
men as Gen. Lyon. Then why in the
name of all that is rational were not the
reinforcements sent forward before the
battle occurred Y Three or four regi
ments might have changed the fate of
the day, and converted defeat into vic
tory. It cannot be pretended that it
was less safe to send away the reinforce
ments from St. Louis and Cairo before
the battle than after the defeat. If the
reinforcements were on the way when
the battle took place, the case will wear
a different aspect; but if they were held
in reserve until eight thousand could try
its strength with twenty-ona or twenty
three thousand, the folly of such con
duct cannot be defended.
I am fully aware of the incompetency
of civilians to comprehend the wisdom
of military movements vll ile thu are,
yet pewit' mi. But when the event has
demonstrated their folly, no such plea
in abatement of criticism will answer.
It is not one man in a million who could
speak with the tongue of eloquence, or
write, or paint, or chisel with the hand
of genius, but the millions may judge of
the result. I know nothing of the art
of war, but I know that five or six mil
lions of rebels, surrounded by their dis
affected slaves, would be no match for a
nation of twenty millions of loyal free
men, if the same talent,, vigor and devo
tion were employed in guiding and ap
plying the forces of the Union as we
have seen arrayed against it. It is in
vain that we shut our eyes. It is in
vain that the press is silent. Criticism
may be carried to an excess, but reti
cence will not amend matters, nor
screen glaring incompetency from the
censure of an intelligent public.

I confess Is surprised and pained
when I read in the public prints the re
port of your speech, but I am gratified
that yowthapoiliseovered your mistake
and righted,. ; a s far as you can, the
wrong you did me.
Your remarks tended to fix the con
viction on-the public mind that I was
at Centreville urging on the forward
movement of the army, but you admit
in your note that, with the exception of
a look which you thought expressed a
distrust of your courage you never
heard anything from nak,of the kind.
Surely you could not li%ve done so,
for,--while lam for the most energetic
prosecution of the war, I am content
'to leave the matter in the hands of
General Scott and the officers of the
army,
But you certainly misinterpreted my
"look at you" in General 111cDoTall's
tent. I certainly. had no thought that you
were either over cautious or a coward.
On the contrary, I shared with you
most painful apprehensions of the result
of the coaling battle. I knew fears were
en tertui n ed,wh en I loft Washi ngton,that
Johnston had out-generated Patterson
and thrown portions of his command
into Manassas; I knew the Secretary of
War had returned in haste to Wash
ington to hurry forward more troops;
I knew reinforcements had arrived du
ring the two preceding days, in large
numbers, from Johnston and from
Richmond; I knew something of the
strength of the enemy's position, and
I knew what were our numbers, and I
feared we had not force enough to wring
victory from the foe in his strong posi
tion. Anxiety for the result, not idle
curiosity, Married • me there. Knowing
the position of affairs, I felt oppressed
with anxiety for the result., It was no
time fcmine to advise men upon whom
rested such great responsibilities. But
to some of my intimate friends, to Gen
eral Keyes, Donn Piatt, aid to General
Schenck, and others, I expressed my
anxiety and doubt. I thought I read
in the faces of the brave leaders of brig,-
ades, assembled on Saturday night, in
General McDowell's tent to receive
their orders for the battle, the same
feeling of anxiety and doubt that op
pressed me; but I might have mistaken
their feelings as yoU did mine. 1, do
not believe there was a civilian at Cen
treville who urged a forward movement.

THE BLOCKADE AT PENSACOLA.
A correspondent of the New York
Times, writing from Fort Pickens, thus
speaks of the efficiency of the : lockade
in that quarter :
take pleasure in bearing witness
to the complete efficiency of the block
ade' in this quarter of the world. 1
really think an oyster-boat could not
gain accession to Pensacola or Mobile
at present, and I can safely announce
that Charleston will soon be "ship
locked." The United States steam
frigate Colorado has taken the place of
the Niagara, as flag-ship of this division
of the blockade, but there are a great
many people: who, lean to the idea that
Capt. MclCean's vigorous, no-hesitating
characteristics would be more servicea
ble than the rather "conservative" tol
erance of Mervin. Both these officers
have done gnat service here,and where
ever the trail of their ships is seen,
neither privateer or smuggler can be
found. But when speaking of success
ful cruising, let me put in a prominent
place the nathe of a Boston gun boat—
a purchased one, too—the little steamer
South Carolina. The rebels call her
"the Flying Dutchman," because she
always "puts the heart aerass in 'Om,"
as a Hibernian prisoner recently ex
pressed it. She has taken over twenty
prizes,
and if the Courts do their share,
the gallant officer who commands, and
the fine crew that man her, will have
5500 apiece prize money when half a
year's setvice is done. Do not.ask why
such light draft vessels of the regular
service as the Wyandotte, Mohawk,
Water Witch and Crusader do not give
such good accounts of themselves as
the. South Carolina for I cannot tell
you. They blockade, run to Havana,
Key West, and elsewhere, and seldom
catch a suspicious craft. If the irreg
ular vessels continue to rival the regu
lars as they are now doing, a time may
come when the people will require some
strong proofs that there is any great USA
in keeping too many standing men-of
war. The crews and officers of nearly
all the vessels touching here have been
summoned to renew their oaths of alle
giance. It is a pleasant duty to say,
that the manner in, which they met the
request was more nearly unanimous than
any person acquainted with the materi
als of which our navy personel is
composed, could expect.'
What a Denieerat In the Army Thinks
We copy the following extract from
a private letter from an intelligent and
reliable gentleman of the Fifth Ohio
Regiment, now in Western Virginia,
and always a Demoorat :
"I was angry and sorry to read the
proceedings and resolutions of the Dem
ocratic Convention of Ohio. I pray
God they may be disgracefully beaten
at the eleetion. I will noire; call my
self a Democrat again while the party
is controlled by:its present leaders. I
don't think that the President could
constitutionally have suspended the
writ of habeas corpus. But it is dis
gusting to see men take advantage of I
what might be called a necessary breach,
to gratify avarice for spoils or blind
malice against former political opponen ta.
There are two men in this company
who were formerly Republicans, and 1
only two. :Yet among all the rest, I
know for a "certainty,.that there 'is only
one man who sympathizes with the a
tors in the Pemoeratio Ohio Convention,.
and he is a worthless, good-for-nothing

cording -to the following, =from the
Philadelphia Press, both thOse nations
are likely to have enough business of
their own on hand without engaging
in foreign wars :
"The close alliance between France
and England, which indeed made Na
poleon Emperor of the Freneh,,appears
likely to be broken, as it has already
been weakened, by the positive declara
tion of the British Government., through
the lips of Lord John Russell,that an at
tempt to annex the island of Sardiniato
France would at once dissolve the alli
ance of France and England. Since
then, Napoleon's Paris journals have
energetically ridiculed and abused Lord
John, and Napoleon himself has been
endeavoring to get upon very friendly
terms with Prussia,-Austria, and Russia
—not wholiy . without success, it would
appear, as the King of Prussia is going
to attend a review, by Napoleon, of
French troops in the camp,of Chalons.
"There is a terrible significance in the
fact that the French navy is being enor
mously increased. In a recent debate,
in Cie.„pritish House of Commons, when
a vote of $1,250,000 towards the ex
pense of building iron clad ships was
proposed, Mr. W. S. Lindsay (who vibit
ed Philadelphia last year) declared that
he knew, from the recent visit of a
friend to the principal dock-yards in
France, that apoloon was doing nothing
in the way of augmenting his marine.
Lord Palmerston answered that, to his
certain knowledge, the French Govern
ment had six mail-clad vessels of large
dimensions afloat and that as far back
as last December, the Emperor had the
keels of ten others laid down, all of
which, without any extraordinary exer
tion, could be completed in eighteen
months or two years. Besides, the
French have eleven, floating batteries,
some of which are powerful soa-going'
vessels. Lord Clarence Paget, Bet:ro
tary of the Admiralty, went beyond this,
and gave the names of the sixteen mail
clad • steamers built or building in
France, and the places where they were.
Mr. Lindsay was so much struck by
these details that he declared it -, to be
alarming, if correct—which he did not
doubt—and said that he, for one, would
vote $25,000,000 to place. England in.a
corresponding naval condition, for
France had no right to hold such a
number of war-ships, and, witk such a
force, could not be honest in her profes•
sions of amity to England. Even Mr..
Cobden, the apostle of peace, lately de
clared that he would vote a hundred
millions sterling for the building of
ships-of-war, rather than allow the
French to maintaim a navy 'even equal
to that of England.
"The return game, as a set-off to
Waterloo, has never been played by
France and England, and it looks as if
Napoleon was preparing for it.
A Novel Cause of Expulsion.
Our readers will probably remember
that on motion of Hon. O. J. Tucker,
M. McMahon, Esq., was expelled frim
the Breckinridge State Committee of
New York, on the alleged ground that
he held a position in the Custom-House.
Mr. Tucker neglected to state that Ile
was appointed by Mr. Schell: though
that fact might not have saved him
from expulsion in face of the following
letter which Mr. M. had written to the
editor of tho Albany Evening Standard:
NEW YORK, August 14.
FRIEND GRIFFIN; As I cannot be
present at the meeting of our State Cen
tral Committee to-morrow, at the Dela
van House, I would thank you to repre
sent me on that occasion, and for that
purpose inclose you a substitution. Our
opinions and feelings being in unison,
as to the present sad condition of our
- country, it is unnecessary for me to of
fer any suggestions ai to your course or
action in the. prooevlings of the Com
mittee. Let me say, however, that I
expect that any motion to opose or cal
culated to annoy or embarrass the Go
vernment of the United States (repre
senting the finest, happiest and most
prosperous country and people that ever
existed on earth) shall meet with your
most strenuous opposition, as also any
movement tending to give aid-and com
fort to the enemy in the nature of so
called "peace resolutione or otherwise.
The problem of mea t s capacity for self
government is now being tried in the
terrible crucible ontunan gore and
carnage, and instinct will cause the
heart of every one who desires an affir.
motive solution, and who sincerely loves
