CONSERVATISM SUCCESSFUL
President Lincoln has gained a magnifi
cent triumph over the abolition radicals of
his party ; his idea of gradual emancipa
tion, contained in the following resolution,
not only forestalled Sumner's destructive
measure, but it compelled him and his ex
treme coadjutors in the Senate, to put
themselves on record in favor of the Pres
ident' spolicy. OUr readers will remember
the President's sudden recommendation
upon this subject; here it is :
"Resolved, That the United States ought
to co-operate with any State which may
adopt a gradual abolishment of slavery,
giving to such State pecuniary aid, to be
used by such State in its discrdion, to
compensate for the inconveniences, public
and private, produced by such a change of
system."
The Republicans in the Senate having
voted for this resolution and passed it, we
infer that Mr. Sumner's_ resolves alluded
to will never more be heard of. So far, so
good. This, taken in connection with the
rebukes administered to the extreme abo
litionists by Sherman and Browning,
prove very conclusively, that the Repub
lican leaders arebeginning to ascertain that
their extreme doctrines are not suited to
the times.
The party in power having put forth the
President's recommendation, as their con•
fession of faith, let us see what it amounts
to, and what. it is all about. In the first
place the States, themselves, are recog
nized as being the only parties interested.
and it is for them to say whether they de
sire to get rid of slavery. They are the
sole judges, from whose decision there can
be no appeal. Next, it' they desire to
emancipate their slaves, the States have
he right to say how it is to he done ; and
after all that they possess all power to fix
the moneyed value of their shives and sub
mit their, schedules and sum totals to the
consideration of Congress. Shoilld Con
gress ac - Cede to the terms proposed, very
well; if not, there is no harm done, and
the States remain precisely as they were.
If John C. Calhoun, himself were alive,
he could find but little objection to this
proposition ; indeed, in the present unset
tled condition of the country, when the
progress of our arms is rendering slave
property so insecure, we should think the
slave owners entirely mad if they did not
immediately accept it. We have no doubt
but the slaveholders will gladly receive this
offer; but we are not so certain of its be
ing acceplable to those who will have to
furnish the means to carry it into practical
operation.
If, as the abolitionists insist, slavery is
the cause of the war, why did they not at
the beginning of hostilities, reino‘te that
cause, by offering, as they now do, to put.-
chase the'slaves? We have been spending
.nearly three millions of dollars per day for
nearly a year to crush this `'slaveholders'
rebellion," and the abolitionists coolly ask
the people to expend about the same
amount every day for years to come, in or
der to bring amongst us an indefinite num
ber of ransomed slaves, who, after being
freed, would settle amongst us, and drive
white labor from many fields of enterprise.
We do not imagine that Northern laborers
are prepared to consent to any such an ar
rangement. So, that although President
Lincoln's conservatism, has utterly demol
ished his party's extravagance, still his
scheme of emancipation will never be as
sented to by the free laborers and me
chanics_of the country.
Negro emigration to the North is already
attracting the jealous attention of the peo
ple. New York is beginning to he appre
hensive on this subject, and petitions are
pouring in to her Legislature directing at
• tention to it. These petitions ask for the
enactment of a law, similar to that of Illi
nois,. which absolutely excludes - free ne
groes from the State. The Legislature of
New Jersey, too, last week, had a large
number of petitions before it on the same
subject. These petitions express the opin
ion that nothing short of "fines and im
. prisonments" will keep these contrabands
from entering the State. Should they be
allowed to enter and settle there, the peti
tione-contittue, their presesigeirilltro - a con
stant source of irritation, because they will
supplant free labor. Trotn these demon
strations the - reader will infer, tliaithe free
millions oftlie country
at present, to undergo additional taxation
in order to be overrun with rivals in labor,
and if not 'rivals.- then vagaboude- and
paupers. . _

ARMY CORRESPONDENCE
WHITE PLAINS, FAIIQUIER CO., VA., 1 .
March 31st. 1862.
DEAR COL. :—Thiigiiiery under coin•
mend of Capt. Knapp left Upperville on the
24th, and marchedfor Aldie, sixteen miles
distant. Our force consisted of Col. Gea
ry's regiment and 250 of the Michigan cav
alry. On the way theColenel received a
dispatch announcing the battle of Winches
ter. Just as the column was entering Al
dieit was met by Abercrombie's Brigade
hastening back to Winchester. We pitch
ed our new Sibley's near the village and
camped for the night. The next morning
we started by the left about for Winches
ter, and reached Snickersvillo where we
stopped for the night. In the morning we
again tried the left about, and retracing
our former steps quartered at Philimont.
In the morning we were off for Middle
burgh; as we reached the town, news of its
occupation by the rebels reached the Colo
nel. The cavalry and infantry were deploy
ed on the wings; the artillery supported by
infantry marched in the center. The ene
my' scavalry were just entering the western
side of the village as we entered the eastern.
The battery preceded by cavalry and in
fantry passed through the town at a trot.
and unlimbering as it reached the brow of
the hill at the western side,fired a few shells
at the enemy who had already been started
on the double quick by a volley from Capt.
All's company of the 28th. Our preens
sion shells increased their pace and for
ought I know they are going yet. It was
quite a disappointment to us. We expec
ted some fun, but secesh has got into such
a habit ofspiritiag themselves away at our
approach, that a glimpse of them is consid
ered quite a God-send. We remained at
Middleburg until the morning of the 29th
when we left for this place. It commenced
snowing on Saturday about 10 o'clock, a.
m., and continued to snow until dark,when
it changed to rain. Last night we hail a
severe thunder storm. The flashes of light
ning were so vived as to7cause a stampede
of the horses. The mud surpasses any
thinl have yet saw. This village is on
the Winchester and Manassas Rail Road.
Although the track has not been torn up.
all the bridges have been burned.
A melancholy accident bah just occur
red. Adjutant Phelps of the Michigan cav
alry was riding down the track on a truck;
his revolver dropped from his holster, and
lighting on the floor:of the ear wasdiseharg
ed, the ball passing directly through his
heart; he died instantly without littering a
word.
I am completely ignorant or the eye,

limits of our camp. and long for a glans

"Shiftless". Contrabands
Speaking of "contrabands"—out of the
large number assembled at, this point and
Hampton creek. if you want a litlto labor
work done, it is almost an impossibility to
get any of these folks to do it. The creeks
around and about here are tilled with
tern—known to the lovers of bivalves us
"Norfolk oysters, — and the roads and riv
ers swarm with fish—vet you cannot :get
either without great dilliculty. When these
colored people had masters. oysters were
in abundance. It is only when want com
pels them that they will go out and catch a
few. Our soldiers wade in and catch them
with their hands. In the language of
"Aunty l'hely" in Uncle Twit, they are
really a `•shiftless set...
Contraband Vocations.
hi the morning the males leave thei
quarters for out-door work. It is tantaliz
ing to see them move, in single tile, a
snail's pace. as tlin,igh they had no powe
of locomotion. and were making efforts t(
get atom! the best way they conk'. Ask
e fe , naies if they have anv neeupation,
they say "yes plenty of men - ding, washing
and cooking.' Upon further in. you
find that this "mending, washing and
cooking." is done for themselves.
They are far better off than our soldiers.
While these poor fellows are bivouaeing
out in. the open air, the '•contrabands"
have good shelter, good food, and plenty
of warmth. The soldien: complain sadly
of this.
KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN
CIRCLE
A Joke.
It turns out that the letter received by
Secretary Seward, purporting to come from
one of the (;olden Circle, is a huge pray
tical joke ; the astute Secretary having
been as completely sold, appears to have
resolved upon selling• somebody else, and
accordingly selected fi-n. Pierce ihr his
victim. If this be so, the reader will per
ceive by the following letters from the Ex-
President that that retired dictionary did
not appreciate the joke:
"DEPARTMENT OP STATE, 1

ter received at this department, from

"Any explanation upon the subject
which you may offer would be acceptable.
" I am, iitc.„ .
WILLIAM H. SEWARD,
" FRANKLIN PIERCE, Esq., Concord, N.
H.".
Mr. Pierce replied in the following sharp
letter:--
Mr. Pierce to Mr. Seward.
"ANDOVER, Mass., Dec. 24, 1861.
Sia:—A package, endored 'Department
of State, U. S. A., franked by W. Hunter,
Chief Clerk, and addressed to Franklin
Pieree,;Esq., Concord, New Hampshire,
was received by me to-day, having been
forwarded from the place of my residence.
But foi the stamped envelope and the
handwriting of Mr. Hunter, - 'with which I
am familiar, I should probably have re
garded the enclosures as an idle attempt
at imposition, in which your name had
been surreptitiously used. I must, I sup
pose, though I do it reluctantly, now view
it in a different light. In the note bearing
your signature, you say :—‘ I enclose an

object of which is to overthrow the Gov
ernment. Any explanation upon the sub

" It is not easy to conceive how any
person could give credence to,
or entertain
for a moment, the idea that I am now, or
have ever been, connected with a 'secret ',
'vim,' or with any league, the object of
which was, or is, the overthrow of the Gov
ernment o f my country. Surprise, how
ever, only increases as I pass from your

a sufficient basis for an official communi

this • extract,' from the vagaries -of an

to be, it-is not a littlesingular that it should
have been sent for explanation to one
who, during his whole life, has never be

emotions and Inv sternest purposes, from

this in official station, in private life, and
under all circumstances when it became

Mr. Seward's Rejoinder.
Mr. Seward rejoins as follows :
"WASHINGTON, December 30, 1831,
MY DEAR SIR : —An injurious aspersion on
your fair fame and loyalty came into my
hands. Although it was an anonymous let
ter the writer was detected, and subsequent
ly avowed the authorship. The docu
ment must become a part of the history of
the times.
"I desire that you might know how your
name has been made use of by a traitor to
increase the treason he was encouraging.
li nable to prepare a note to you personally,
devoled the duty on the chief clerk of this
Department.
"The manner in which it was done has
given you offence. I regret it, and apolo
gize for it as the only excuse I can make,
namely. the necessity of employing anoth
er head to do what ought to be done, and
which L had not time to do, personally.
•'I place your answer on the files of the
Pepartment of State as an act of justice to
yourself.
.•And I beg you to be assured that all
the unkindness of that answer does not in
the least diminish the satisfection with
which I have performed. in the best way I
was able, a public duty. with a &sire to
render you a service.

"It may be proper to state that, adop

learn that I have failed to discover in your
official note a desire to render me a serv

the suggestion, from a source so eminent,
that I ant "a member of a secret league,

advised whether he. disavows its reference

were the only facts material for the to

has been called, you still state that the

on reflection. see that the whole ground on

not the manlier of your official note nor
any form of your address that awakened
the deep sense of wrong on my part.

The Report of the Western War
Claims Commission.
The report of the Commission on War
Claims, at St. Louis, is one of the blackest
chapters in the revelations of frauds con
nected with the war. The names of the
Commissioners, Messrs. David Davis, of
Illinois; Joseph Holt, of Kentucky, and
Hugh Campbell, are a sulfictent guarantee
that the commission was faithfully execu
ted. Their report fills forty printed pages,
and the testimony of twelve hundred wit
nesses examined by them will occupy front
six to seven thousand mannscript pages.
The charges against General Fremont are
enormous. He contracted according to
this report, for eight mortar boats at $66,-
000, which were appraised at thirty-eight
thousand dollars by intelligent boat and
engine builders.
Among the claims was one for five hun
dred tons of ice, ordered by General Fre
mont, purchased and shipped in October,
when the weather was becoming cold. It
was sent to Jefferson City, and most of it
wasted because there was no room to store
it in Jefferson City, where it was sent. The
Commission allowed only one-half of the
claim for rent of a three story house for
General Fremont's headquarters, hired at
six thousand dollars per annum ,• and they
complain that the purchase of railroad cars,
and the large dealings in coal growing out
of the steam and gunboat service are large
ly tainted with fraud.
C. L. Beard. a Californian,' and J. C.
Woods, figure 'largely as speculators in the
report, they having been peculiarly favor
ed by the General. Beard received $l9l,
000 in,advance for somecontincts forforts.
- -
Of the special contracts for 'arms and
munitions, specially made by. General
Fremont, $641,000 remain unpaid, and
the commission deducted from this $90,-
000 for excess of price.
Mr.• Beard seems to have attacked the
Treasury in front, flank and rear. He
brought bills for forage amounting to
$115,000. The rapacious purse of, Beard
was filled, notwithstanding the soldiers
and laborers were unpaid. Beard has left
St. Louis. .
The various frauds iii General Fremont's
department brought to light by the Com
missioners are astounding, but his declara
tions were more so. He said to Lieuten
ant Colonel Andrews, Paymaster in the
regular army, according to the testimony
of that officer, that "the people of the
i
United States were n the field;
that he was at their head, and that he
meant to carry out such measures
as they expected him to carry out,with
outliigard to the red 'tape of the Wash
ington people." Colonel -Andrews told
him that red tiipe meant syst . em of govern
ment, which, in its datails might be carried
too far by subordinates, but the general
system' of your government was a wise and
good one, and - hewho undertook to set

made similar remarks in their hearing. In
commenting uponiiii, the Commissioners
say that, "miluarpeldeftains who cut red;

historrProvea that the throat of the coun
try suffers quite so much as the tape does
lathe operation."
Henry Cli►y
The arrangements in New York for the
celebration of the•next anniversary of the
birth-day of Henry Clay (12th inst.) are
upon a more comprehensive scale than
usual. This is partly owing to a desire, on
the pest of a few of our public men, to find
occasion for the expression of political
opinions, which it has not been deemed
judicious to indulge very often since the
commencement of this war. Democrats,
HS well as Old Line Whigs, will take part.
The presence of Messrs. Crittenden and
Davis, of Kentucky, is confidently expect
ed, and there is a possibility, likewise, I
ant intormed, that Ex-President Fillmore
will make it convenient to attend.

My Dear Sit—l am now seventy-nine years old,
and for the last twenty-eight years have been a
constant user of your Vegetable Universal Pills
when sick, fully realizing the advantage of en
forcing purgation with a medicine. which, while
harmless in its nature. removes all impurities. I
can'safely say that vigorous old age I now enjoy
has, been Caused mainly by the timely use of
Brandreth's Pills. I have had in these last twen
ty-eight years several fits of sickness, and occa
sionally some infirmity of age would press upon
me. At these times I have always found your
pills a sure remedy. giving me not only health but
strength. 1 consider them, not only invaluable
as a purgative, but also as a tonic. I have never
during the last twenty-eight years used any other
medicine whatever, being uonvinced, by experi
ence, that none was as good. Brandreth's Pills
have also been freely used by my neighbors in
every kind of sickness. and have been never
known to fail when promptly administered.
