GENERAL FREMONT'S PROCLA The recent proolamaton of Major General Fremont, declaring the State of Xissouri under martial law, con fi scating the property and freeing the slates of rebels in arms against the Government, is attracting alined_ universal attention throughout the North. The masses of the• people approve the startling but necessary position which he has taken, although in military and civil circles his positions are adversely yet kindly oriti seised. It is well understood that his purpose was simply to notify the people of Missouri of his intention to carry out the letter and spirit of the Confiscation Act. This is the arm purpose of the government. Bat putting this act in force it is not intended to divert the war from its legitimate purposes of suppress ing this rebellion, and the estalishment of the Union under the constitution and the laws, and inaugurate a war for the extinguishment of slavery in tho United States, or in any one of the States of the United States. Perhaps, as has been stated, Gen. Fremont has taken a step in advance of the policy of the govern ment, but in revolutionary and insur rectionary times, political policy must give way to the stern realities of war.— The issues arising out of the question of slavery must sooner or later become an 'element in this war, and it is our policy to Weaken the enemy by every means in our power. It is not desirable that the question of slavery should become com mingled in the issues of the war, but if it continues to any considerable time this is inevitable. Slavery is now ac knowledged by the r ebels as their ;chief est element of strength, and General Fremont determines, very wisely, to weaken this element in rebel hands, so that they may not control it, nor use it against loyal citizens of the United States. Mose papers, like the Louisville Jour 'lad, which disapprove of Gen. Fremont's prwkimation, occupy a peculiar stand point, and we can readily understand the .cause of their opinion. But the bpi minds of the men of the non' slave holding States are determined to conquer this rebellion, and slavery, as an incident of aid and comfort to the enemy will not be permitted to stand in the way of victory. In speakng of this subject the New York World says:— The language of profound regret and condemnation in which the Louisville Journal comments on the proclamation is called forth by the mere fact of the institu, lion of martial law, without any reference whatever to the dense declaring the slaves of rebel masters free. That men found with arms in their hands against the govs ernment should be punished is too much a thing of course td create a sensation. It is not easy to see why the loss of slaves should be regarded as a severer penalty than' the loss of other property of equal pecuniary value. The rebels cannot expect to prose. cute war against the Government and at the• same time enjoy all the security and the advantages of peace. The Louisville Journal and the loyalists of Kentucky feel —reasonably enough —that it is a terrible calamity to have the usual course of civil proceedings superseded by the stern rule of martial law. he •practical. lesson which the Journal deduces from Fremont's pro. clemation is the great importance of a loyal State government, by_ theialinre of which in Missouri a state of things,was brought about which has led to subjpetthg the whole State to military authority: ' THE first railway his been built in Oregini, on what is called " the Transit across the Cascades." confiscation business goes on apace.

ARCIRMIROP'HITEREgr -- VIEWS OF THE WAR. We give below a most interesting and important letter from Archbishop Hughes, of New York, on the present war. It is written in reply to , a : letter, of Bishop Lynch, of South Carolina, in which he expressed surprise that Irish men and Catholics should take up arms against the South, and takes it for gianted that the Confederate States can never be conquered, but that the subju gation of the States is a foregone con elusion. Bishop Lynch assumes that France and England will assuredly break the blockade in order to obtain a supply of cotton, and deprecates the idea of that ultimate recognition of the Southern Confederacy should be pre ceded by a war "equally needless and bloody." Upon the Republican party ha lays the whole responsibility of bringing this war about, and thinks if it is to be fought, those who voted the Republican ticket alone ought to fight it. To all this the Archbishop replies, by showing that there had been no vio lation of the constitutional rights of the South, and that in regard to slavery she is to-day just as she was at the pe riod of the Declaration of Independ ence. Although an advocate for the sovereignty of every State in the Union, within the limits recognized and ap proved of by its own representative au thority when the constitution was agreed upon, he maintains that no State has a right to secede except. in the man ner provided for in that document.— Out of the seventy or eighty years' ad ministration of the government the South had had a fifty-two years' mo nopoly of the supreme power. The patronage -of the army and navy had been also during that period almost en tirely in its hands. The election of the present Chief Magistrate was n,t, then, a cause sufficient to justify the course which the South has adopted. He was elected, not directly, as was alleged, by the black Republicans of the North,but indirectly and negatively by Democrats, North and South, who split upon three candidates, and thus insured the success of the Republican nominee. It was un der these circumstances that Mr. Lin coln won the contest, and that he was constitutionally elected no one North or South could dispute. The Archbishop denies that there is any disposition on the part of the loyal States to subjugate or conquer the South, and expresses his belief that they look only to the purpose of bringing back the seceded States to their organic condition before the war began. In opposing the peace cry of the North the Archbishop believes that it is neither sound principle nor safe policy, only having the effect of chang ing the coniest from a sectional to a party conflict. The entire letter is eminently patri otic in its character, and, in all respects, fully sustains the constituted authori ties of the government in the measures they are pursuing to maintain the con stitution and the laws of the laud : Letter of the Most Rev, Archbishop u New York NEW YORK, August 23,1861 RIGHT REY. DEAR Sir— I have re ceived your letter of the 4th inst. How it reached I can hardly conjecture; but it came to hand within about the usual period required for the transmission of mail matter between Charleston and New York during happier years,when all States, North and South, found their meaning in the words, "E Pluribus Unum." It must have run the blockade or dodged the pickets on hostile bor ders. I have read it with very deep interest, increased, if anything, by the perils of flood and field through which it must have passed. If even the innocent ligntning of the North were permitted to carry a mes sage into Southern latitudes, I would telegraph you for permission to pub lish your calm and judicious. communi cation. As it is, however, my only chance of acknowledging it is through the Metropolitan Record, an I without special permission publish your letter at the same time. In this way it may happen that during the war, or after wards, my answer will come under your inspection. Yours is, in my judgment, one of the most temperate views of the present unhappy contest that has ever come under my notice from any son of South Carolina. It is not to be infer red; however, that because I admire so much the calmness of its tone and tem per I therefore agree with all its argu ments and speoilations. You say I am "reported to have spo ken strongly against the war policy of the government of the United States, as fraught with much present suffering, and not calculated to obtain any real advantage." Be assured that, previous to the outbreak of military violence, I was most ardently desirous of preser ving peace and union, but, since vio lence, battle and bloodshed . have oc curred, I dare not hope for peace unless you can show me a foundation of rook or solid ground (but no quicksand ba sis) on which peace can be reestablish ed. The nature of your ministry and mine necessarily implies that we should be the friends of peace. It was the special legacy of our Divine Master to his flock. And it would be strange if we, his appointed ministers, should be found in the ranks of its enemies. His words were, as we find in St. John, "Peace I leave to you, my peace I give to you: not as the world giveth do I - give: to you." And yet St. Paul is writing to the Christian converts of g ame , sayst, r .alf it be possible, as much as it is in you, hate- pe#ee with ' all men." I think this ; titter umpired quotation has At..,kiiioC .ter bearing on our present sad diffumlties. Your explanations' . of, At:P. eanseit-1 which have led to this ware 04:1W.Y. premises end cone u sions. But they are so mild, and even plausibly stated, that I leave them un controverted. Your desrciption of the evils resulting from the war is too cor reet to be gailisayed by me. Still, he - re we are in the midst of a sanguine.' ry contest, which, so far as I can see, like a hnrrioane on the ocean, must exhaust its violence before we can ex pect the return of national calm. There is no one who desires more ardently than Ido the advent of that bright day on which we shall all be reunited in one great prosperous and happy coun try- Instead of controverting the correct ness of your views in regard to the causes of our actual troubles, or deter mining where or on whom the responsi bility of their existence rests, I shall beg leave to make my own statement froth a point of view which is found in the general sentiment of the north people of Mason and Dixon'iline. They say that whatever may have been the anterior origin of this war, its immediate cause was the overt act of turning guns, put in place by the State of South Carolina, against a public mil itary defence of the country at large, which of right belonged to all the States in common. Then it is thought, or at least stated, in these quarters that the goutb, for many years past, would not be satisfied with less than a paramount control of the federal gov ernment. The South, it is well known, has been in a fretful mood for many years under Northern assaults, made upon her civiland domestic institutions. It would be, on my part, very uncan did to disguise the conviction that in this respect the South has had much reason to complain. Leaving, howev er, opinions to fluctuate as they may, I will simply give you my own as to the primary causes of our present strife. You know that free speech and a free press are essential constituents of the first notions of Anglo-Saxon liber ty. These were the shibboleth of its existence, prosperity and prospects. In the exercise of these peculiar privileges the North of this country has used its type and its tongue offensively against the South. Neither was the South backward in the work of retaliation on the same principle But the Anglo- Saxon, whether of the North, or of the South, would see the whole world set in a blaze rather than put limits to the freedom of the press or the unbridled license of the tongue, except when the l laws interpose for the protection of pub lic authority or individual rights of char aeter and property. At the commencement of our nation al institution as an independent State, Elwrery, for instance was found to ex ist, almost universally, in the North as well as in the South, Tht word it self was not used in any of the' para graphs found in the Magna Charts of our government. The slave trade from the western coast of Africa had been encouraged by the subjects and the government of Great Britain. The government of England did not hesi tate to affix its veto on some of the en actments Made by the recognized local authorities of the colonies, for diminu tion of the slave trade. It would ap pear that from this trade, so abomina ble in its primary origin, there were certain emoluments accruing to the treasury of the mother country. And these emoluments were looked to as a source of revenue, just as some countries in Europe, in their sovereign capacity. monopolize the largest portion of prof its resulting from commerce in salt and tobacco. After the Revolution slavery was gradually dispensed with in all the Nor thern States. Whether this was done from what would now appear a sense of humanity, or from motives of domestic or political lucre, it will be for you as for me, a private right to de termine, each according to his own opin ion. But slavery was a social element recognized in all the States at the peri od of the Revolution. So far the changes that have supervened in refer ence to slavery have been all in the North, and the South is to day as to this matter in data quo just as she was at the period of the Declara tion of Independence. The North ern States, in the exercise of their acknowledged right, repudiated slab ery within their own borders. The Southern States in the equal exercise of theirs, have done just the reverse.— The North,unrepenting of many sins of its own has exhibited great remorse for the sins of its neighbors. A portion of its inhabitants talk in a certain style not only of this subject, but of a great many others, about national sins which according to its solution of Pagan ethics or of Christian duty, every human being is bound to correct. Yet the biggest sin in our day known to the North is not what occurs in its own immediate neighborhood or State, but the monster iniquity of the South,which between you and me, and as the world goes, might have been permitted to manage its own affairs in its own way, so that its acts should be found either in harmony with, or not in violation of, the constitution of the United States. I swan advocate for the sovereignty of ever State in the Union within the limits recognized and approved of by its own representative authority when the constitution was agreed upon. As a consequence, I hold that South Caro lina has no State right to interfere with the internal affairs of Massachusetts.— And, as a further consequence, that Massachusetts has no right to interfere with South. Carolina, or its domestic and civil affairs; as one of the sovereign States of this now threatened Union.— But the constitution having been by the common consent of all the sovereign parties engaged in the framework and approval thereof, I maintain that no State has a right to secede, except in the manner provided for in the docu ment itself. The revolt of the - colonies against the authority of Great Britain is quite an other thing. If England had extended to these colonies the common rights and privileges nominally secured by the British constitution, we have high authority for believing that the colonies would not, haike,,gone at least when they . did, auto rebellion. Ind*, it might be asserted and maintaiae4 that it was not the Amer lo o 3 o; l mtlho, British ministry and . government, that , supfdie - tr -- reasons for the American Revolution. In the present case it would be dif ficult) by parity of-reasoning, to justify the grounds on which the South have acted. I think a few ,remarks will satisfy you of the correctness of this ir.ate mmt. You say that for many years the South bits proilitimed its dissatis faction, and announced its determined purpose of secession, if certain coin. pl.ints should not be attended to and their causeo redressed; that the Scuth was all the time in earnest, and the North woubk never believe in their sin cerity or their predictions. This may be so; but it gives me an occasion to re mark that the federal government as such had given no special reason for the secession of the South at this time more than there was ton, or even fifteen years ago. The Persmal Liberty Bill was uncot at ituti' nal in the few States which adopted it. -New Yolk was too wise and too patriotic to no caught in that trap. The so-called Personal Liberty RH'. was never adopted, so far as duet". ments are evidence, either directly or - indirectly, by the government at Wash ington. "Indeed, lam not aware of any food for Southall pewdela If this end statute passed by the federal authority were a deliberate 'polieti hi the North I which could give the South additional should scout and despise it.
