DAILY POST. The Vain aa It was: <phe Co—tltmiew it la! SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 21 »• Kwtmi matter o» wury PAUSE AND REFLECT! Here, on the eve <jf those final success es which, in the judgment of wise men, are practically to re-establish the power of the old Union, it is fit and profitable to look about us —to consider and take coun sel,.one with another and each with all, on the iuture policy of the natiou. All thoughtful men are seriously and sadly speculating on what we shall do af ter the war. The duty and the task of re uniting the now divided Commonwealths will fal' upon the calm, reflecting, steady minded men ot the country. The disunion extremists of the South, having utterly fail ed in their insolent appeal to the sword, must now he dealt with by the common sense and forbearance of the nation, which, at the same time, must resolutely curb the insane disunion extremists of the North, who, with wild frenzy, are preparing to torture the fallen foe, alter the old manner of fanatics and savages. If Abolitionism is not crafty, and cunning, and selfish, it is nothing—bold, generous, self-sacrificing it. never wa3 ; it never can be. To the lasting injury of the country, and by the mere accident of a most foolish quarrel among those who respected the Constitution and desired to maintain it, the Abolitionists found themselves, us they thought, on the 4th of March, 1801, in full possession of the federal govern ment. They had a majority in Congress, and a “prior claim,’ - a “first mortgage -- on the President’s sympathies and opin ions. The treacherous resort to arms by heir brother extremists of the Sooth crowned the hopes of the Abolitionists, and there seemed to be nothing between them and unclouded triumph. But, when Mr. Ltscolm got to Washington and sur veyed the entire field in which he was to act, even though the scene was dimmed with the smoke of battle, and the air was ringing with the horrible sound of deadly strife, he felt that conservative opinion alone could save the Union, and that he could not travel the same road with Sum mer, and Phillips, and John Bnowx. And now that we are promised a breathing •pace from the excitement of the contest, now that it is fondly hoped that the war is drawing to a close, let us pause and refiect how to assist the President and to save the country from the force and guile of Abolition fanaticism. We do not. wish to be understood as calling the whole Republican party Abo litionists. While Republicans and Demo crats are fighting side by side in this war, your whining, scheming, managing Abo litionists are not in the fray. You will find them with Summer in the Senate, or with Lovejoy in the House, or with Giddimos, nnd Bayard Taylor, and C. F. Adams, in the enjoyment of diplomatic salaries and consular fees; or as contractors, or as paymasters, or in other non-combatant, paying positions—bat. you will not find many of them in the army, take our word for it. They quell no rebel with the bay onet, but, they fill their own coffers with fat contracts and salaries, nnd they propose emancipation bills and confiscation hills, and acts to destroy the Constitntion and the State Govern ments forever nnd ever. When the old Union shall be re-estab lished, these miserable sharpers know well enough that their day will be over. Fools and fanatics may rave about gibbets and guillotines, and clamor for their erection at every cross-road in the seceded States: bat men who hearken to the teachings of history, men who accept and profit by the daily lessons of life, knowthat, besides be ing inhuman, it never has been considered good policy to exterminate a conquered enemy. In the rage and heat of battle, to destroy and to conquer is the purpose of the encounter, bat brave and generous men do not kill their defeated enemies in cold blood. Non-combatants of the Sum ner, and Giddings, and Wendell Phillips school, who would fly from a dagger of lath, will talk about hanging and torturing the conquered enemy as savagely as ever the French Revolutionary committee did, but can they produce conformity in that way? To deliver the prostrate and con quered rebels over to them wonld be as horrible as the Indian practice of hand ing over to the sqnaws for torture the enemies their warriors had taken alive in battle. 'To conquer the Rebellion was a terrible work, but one of short du. ration compared with again restoring the Union in the hearts of the rebels. If we shall have federal elections again alLover the Union, tike Abolitionists know well enongh that they will be doomed to their former insignificance in political power. Hence they wish to reduce the seceded Scates to a territorial condition. Hence they wish to emancipate, confiscate, hang, draw and quarter without distinction and without remorse. Shall they be permitted to do this ? This is the question on which we are to panse and refiect. If the state of popular feeling in the se ceded States continues as it is, if Union feeling cannot be developed and encour aged, if it shall be necessary to maintain an army of 500,000 men to keep the rebels in subjection, what have we gained by the war? Let. ns reflect also upon that. When the New York Tribune, in the fall of 1860, recommended that, the Union should, in the language of Gen. Bames, be permitted to ‘‘slide," and advocated the policy of “letting the Gulf States go,- ’ it was because the ‘Tribune knew that it was not a possible thing to maintain the Union on the Abolition platform. And nowthat we have fought a most ter rible war for the re-establishment of the Union, for the integrity 0 fthe Constitu tion, shall we permit Abolition fanatics to keep the Union severed by their hatefnl influence and sanguinary policy ? Rival nations have fought for dominion und territory; and civil wars have been maintained between rival pretenders lor crowns; nnd intestine wars have been car ried on between hostile, religions and polit ical factions; but when the sword was laid aside, the faggot, the halter and the stake have not. for many centuries at least, been used to destroy the defeated party. We do not care a pin's fee wliat be comes of slavery, so that the loyal por tions of the Union shall not have to bear' the burden of its extinction. We don’t wantto buy slaves and colonise them—our taxes will be heavy enough without adopt ing that mad proposition. Wo do not wish to buy them and bring them, nor encour age them to come North to displace white laborers, who. after the war, will be nu merous enough, and who, we fear, with all the rest of the. people, will see gloomy times. But if the States shall see proper legally, under the Constitution, to abolish slavery gradually, so that no convulsions, no distress, no violence will ensue, we hope Heaven will prosper the movement. If any State, following the prudent exam ple of Pennsylvania, shall, quietly and in good order, gradually free her slaves, surely we should be gratified to see a proper thing done in a proper way. But this won’t suit Scmxee, and l’mi - lips, nnd the Gazette, and the rest of that bad clan. Neither do we pretend to say how we shall deal with the defeated rebels. Who of the leaders shall be punished, and how they shall bo made examples of. we do not. at present, presume to advise. But we beg all moderate men to wrest from the frenzied hands of abolition fanatics, the halters, the racks, the thumb-screws, the red hot pincers, with which they are pre paring to finish the mischief they had so much to do in fomenting. Let nr, fellow citizens, we beseech you, pause and reflect how we shall best perpetuate the constitu tion and restore the Union on a permanent basis, and. as far as possible.' deny the re- payment of vengeance to profane abolition bands, but leave it, where we are taught to believe it belongs, to the mai-stv of Heaven A Good Guess about Mexico. Geo. Francis Train is still amusing the people of England by bis spread-eagle and, considering the circumstances, rather im pudent, though clever speeches. He bolds forth once a week, nnd always succeeds in creatiug a sensation by bis extreme ’'Yan kee" views, nnd the peculiar way be bus of stating them. The last London Ameri can contains, a speech on the Mexican imbroglio, by Mr. Train, which is likely to attract no little attention, from a very remarkable prediction it contains con cerning the probable fate of the French army in Mexico. It is embraced in the following extract .- “France has gone to Mexico. Orizaba is seventy miles from the shore. The next station is La Puebla, where we shall hear from the army by the mail due here on Saturday, which left Vera Cruz on the 2ftth April. .1 uarez will fight in the mountains. Guerrilla warfare is a Mexican patent. France is in a singular position away in land—no reinforcements—yellow fever in the camp —guerrillas on all sides—Eng land and Spain hostile—one hundred miles from Mexico! flood gracious, what a po sition! The French army hits been sent, there to perish —to he sacrificed, in order in alhtre trance to the proper pitch of enthu siasm to send reinforcements. (Cheers.) For to-day the in carton meets with no fa vor in the army , the nary, or with the peo ple. AH are against it — all oppose —the fiecle, fa Fresse, the Opinionc Xationale. nnd half the journals of France. England. France and Spain signed a contract to do a certain thing. Somebody has broken that agreement. (Hear.) If England is right in returning, France is wrong. If France is right in remaining, England is wrong. (Applause.) Prim lays the blame on France, while the English press are all cheering France on to destruction! Is England trying to get France into a war with America? The way to win your game of chess is not to smash the table. (Hear, hear.) I mentioned that France must have a reverse in Mexico to arouse the French. That is the way Palmerston managed the China affair. Ketnember the Peiho! How easy after that to send out ships, nnd troops, and cannon, and add £10,000,000 to the taxes. (Hoar.) Pal merston understands his people. He can elect a Parliament any time on any war, anywhere! unless it should so happen that the people were hungry!” These remarks were made, he it under* stood on the 26th of May last, before the slightest hint was given, in the Mexican news known in England,to warrant a spec ulation on the probable fate of the French army. Had Mr. Train claimed to be a trance medium this guess would have made his fortune, for it proved correct, even to the locality of the apprehended disaster. The reason he gives, also, for the ex pected reverse of the French arms is worthy of consideration. Surely Napo leon must have foreseen that five thousand soldiers ' could not conquer a nation of seven millions of people, yet this little army was sent into the interior of Mexico todo what it took sixty thousand Americans to perform in our war with that country.— It is indubitably true, as Mr. Train says, that so Tar the French people have had no stomach for this wanton invasion of a na tion that never injured France, but now that the honor of the national arms is in volved, there will be but one party in the imperial dominions. Not only may we expect to see a large army sent against Mexico, but a very hostile feeling will be manifested toward England for withdraw ing from the alliance at so critical a period in the enterprise.— Hew York World, A Second Moses. A Harrisburg paper states that, during the terrible freshet of week before last, a cradle was seen coming down the rushing waters near Man&daville, and being sus pected of containing something, it was watched by several persons for three or four miles, expecting it would at some point of its journey come near enough to the shore that it would be safe in venturing after it in a boat. At last, at a bend in the swollen stream? the cradle came suffi ciently near that it was secured, when lo! and. behold, upon lifting up a light cover ing, & beautiful babe looked up andsmiled! We remember of reading in that sweet book of old, of a time when the daughter ot one of Egypt’s proud rulers went to the river to bathe, when something was seen in the distance, to bring which one of her maids was sent, when upon opening, a babe was seen, which looked up and smiled. The above incident brought this ancient one to mind. A kind person tqok the little one in charge, and although a week has elapsed, and inquiry upon:in quiry has been made, uo clue to the histo/jf of the little stranger has been discovered. 4 - f ft The need of a general bankrupt law is Tery pressing. One poor fellow in Bridge water, Massachusetts, named Dunbar, ad vertises a call for a meeting of his credi tors at his house, “to enter on some arrangement of their lawful claims,'’ as he says he is “not able to discover how he can pay his just debts without disposing of his property.’’ Spirit of the New Orleans Press* l! We have received a late fife of New Or leans papers, from .Tune 6th to Jane 11th, inclusive, from which we glean several ; items of interest. We find au order from General Butler, directing the Provost Marshal to 1 ‘shoot to death,” on the 4th of June, Abraham McLane, Daniel Doyle, Edward C. Smith, Patrick TCane, George L. Williams and William Stanley, who had violated their parole, having been released after the surrender of Forts St. Philip and Jackson, where they were taken prisoners. Subse quent papers give no account of the exe cution. They were convicted by a military commission, and the finding of the Court, .sentencing them to death, was approved by the Commanding General. The Delia gives the following account of the execution, on the 7th inst:, by or der of Maj. Gen. Butler, of William B. Mumford, convicted by a military court of having taken down the Federal flag from the Mint on the 26th of April: *‘ After reaching the scaffold, to which he has escorted by the Twelfth Maine Vol unteers, the order of execution was read with breathless silence. Upon concluding it, he was asked if he had anything to say to the assembled multitude. He signified that he had. He then, addressing the crowd, stated, in substance, that he was a native of North Carolina, but had been a citizen of New Orleans for many years. — ! That the offence for which he was con . demned to die was committed under ex* ■ cilement, and that he did not cousider that he was suffering justly. He conjured all ' who heard him to act justly to all men, to r rear their children properly, and that > when they mot death they would meet it , firmly. lie was prepared to die ; and as ' he had never wronged any one, he hoped ? to receive mercy. Having concluded, his • face was covered with a black mask, his . head enveloped in a large hood, and the . rope put around his neck ; his bauds and legs were securely tied, and he stood alone upon the platform! At 13 minutes before 11 a. in., after a moment*s pause, that t seemed an age to every one present, the . signal was given, the platform, loaded with iron to accelerate its fall, swung heavily 1 down with a sullen crash, and in a few > minutes the soul of William B. Mumford f passed into the presence of his Maker.“ The Tmc J>elta of the Sth has the fol lowing : * 5 Yesterday at twelve o’clock m., the * Union Association of New Orleans, through it> committee of thirty-four, placed over the City Hall the United States flag.’ A band of music played several Federal national airs and the Federal artillery fired a salute of thirty four guns.” Two thousand barrels of best quality Pittsburgh coal were advertised to be sold at auction on the 16th inst. The True Delta thus announces the re opening of the Custom House: “The Custom House, which has been closed for some time past, will be reopen ed immediately, for revenue and commer cial purposes. On the steamer Roanoke, whicn reached here on Saturday, came a number of gentlemen, selected from the New York Custom House, for their special fitness to take charge of the Custom House here. These appointments, we learn, are not to be considered permanent ones. They are only for the purpose of organizing the business, and putting the wheels of commerce in motion. The fol lowing are their names: Collector, Geo. S. Dennison: Deputy Collector, Wm. C. Gray: Entry Clerk, Geo. F. H. Youngs; Appraiser, Uobt.. Snrgcant: Collector’s Clerk, Col. T. B. Thorpe; Inspectors,Geo. G. Burns, ami W. D. Cameron; For the Mint, Dr. M. T. Bonzanr*. Commenting upon the condition of af fairs in that city, the True Delta touches up the lazy population thus : “The domestic war in which this once happy and great country is now involved is afflicting the people with undreamt-of calamities: but in freeing this city from the vilest and most insupportable local government that ever degraded, abased and trampled upon a people, it certainly lm.s not been without all solace. Shall we, then, take advantage of the present op portunity to do that for ourselves it is the utmost "fatuity to expect any other people will do for us; or shall we supinely.con tinue. with folded arms, cursing fate, in stead of conciliating fortune, and abusing the strangers for doing what we ruinouslv refuse to perform ourselves? The drone bee is not wanted here. There is no use mincing matters, no earthly gain in deluding ourselves into the comfortable but illusory expectation that manna will be showered upon us. with gold spoons to eat it with, if we only wait patiently. It is all moonshine to look for such things, and oven thuggery will tug at a dry teat if it should again be able to raise its gory locks and blood-stained hands over this community. We have—and we do not affect io ignore or deny it—a hard pros pect before us: but those who have lived as long as we have done in Louisiana have seen many gloomy and discouraging peri ods: and even admitting this to be pecu liarly repulsive, can it be improved by a stolidity that refuses exertion and obsti nately rejects every plan and opportunity for the public and individual amelioration ? However we may differ upon political sub jects, all will agree that we have a common interest in the welfare and prosperity of New Orleans: therefore can we be unrea sonable in urging upon every one the ne cessity of resuming with energy his indus trial pursuits, and advancing by example the true interests of individuals and the public?*’ What is Heat Lightning ? lhe flashes of lightning, often observed on a summer evening, unaccompanied by thunder, and popularly known as “heat”, lightning,” are merely the light from dis : charges of electricity from an thunder cloud beneatfi the horizon of the observer, reflected from clouds, or perhaps from the air itself, as in the ease -'of twi light. Mr. Brooks, one of the directors of the telegraph line between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia informs us that on one occa sion, to satisfy himselton this point, he asked for information from a distant oper ator during the appearance of flashes of this kind in the distant horizon,* and learn ed that they proceeded from a thunder storm then raging 250 miles eastward of his place of observation.

' I FU>t tg DepoW JeflV Davis and tjrei&e a Military Dictatorin his "Place. % The Confederacy gives us startling in- . telligence in reference to the violent op* | position growing up against Jeff. Davis. It says: “The Charleston Courier of the 22d ult. has an editorial of nearly two columns in • defence of President Davis and his Ad ministration. The Courier says : ( We have been reliably informed that men of - high official possition among us—men ol good intentions, but of mistaken and mis guided patriotism—are sowing the seeds of discord broadcast m our midst, by preaching a crusade against President Davis, and calling for a general conven tion of the Confederate States to depose him and create a military dictator in ins his place!” The Confederacy proceeds to argue against the proposed deposition, and in so doing, unawares, makes an unanswerable argument against the folly and madness of the South in rebelling at the election of Mr. Lincoln, it utterly annihilates the whole cause of' secession by this plea for Jeff. Davis. We commend it to the care ful perusal of our Tennessee rebels. It says: “The people of the country are law abid ing, and the law making power is limited by the Constitution, whose bounds it can not overstep. This our people know, and it makes them feel safe in their persons and estates. They know that if the bar riers of the Constitution are broken down, even with the best of motives for their sup posed good, it opens the way for a similar violation to the great damage, and the loss of their liberty ; and though it is possible for a faithful adherence to every require ment of the Constitution to work inconve nience and injury, by placing over us incompetent officials, or some other ; way, the evil will terminate with the cause that produced it: when the incompe | tent official’s term expires a change will ! come.

The people will never give their consent to it. If they ever do ■ they are unworthy of the liberty wo are fighting for, and could not be worsted by > anything Lincoln and the Abolitionists would or could inflict upon it.” —!Y ashrilU ’ Union. The Arrest of Mr. Soule. In regard to the arrest of the Hon. Pierre Soule, at New Orleans, it i.s Mated that the charges ngainsthim are, first, that he is the leader of a secret society known as the “Southern Independence Associa tion.” of which each member is solemnly sworin to oppose, at the cost of his life, if necessary, the reconstruction uf the old Union, no matter what disaster may befall the Confederate cause, ami to aid by armed force, if required, the Confederate govern ment in carrying outits laws for the confis cation of the property of the Union nu n, and in the detection and punishment or ex pulsion of people whom they may regard as spies. The second charge is that Mr. Soule was the author of the letter sent by the late Mayor of-New < irloans to Commo dore F&rrngut, and is the principal sup porter of the rebellion in that city. Capt. C'onant received the order of Tien. Butler to arrest Mr. Soule, whom lie found at home. He informed him that lie was ordered to arrest him; but Mr. Soule re fused to go with him without an orderfrmn the Provost Marshal. Cant. Conant folded the order so as to conceal that part which referred to his being sent to Fort Warren, and shpwed him the balance. Mr. Soule at once consented to the arrest, and was taken before Gen. Butler. After some con versation he was temporarily released, on giving his parole of honor to report to tin* General whenever he should beonb-red to do so. He has been sent to Fort Warren. Captain Ericsson and Capt. Coles. An editorial article in the Philadelphia Press, claiming that Capt. Coles stole the idea of shot-proof turrets from Captain Ericsson, has called out a note from the latter, as follows : ‘‘New Yoke, Juju* 12, iNi'j, ‘‘At the time when Cuptain Coles, in 1860, prepared a stationary cupola ‘shield’ for tloatiug batteries, the Kmperor of the French ha<l in his possession an elabo rately finished drawing of an impregnable itoating battery, made by my hands, and transmitted to his Majesty from New Vorl; on the ‘J'Sth of September. 180-1. Tim most remarkable features of the Monitor were all combined in the plan alluded to. The vessel was composed of iron : its sides were inclined : its stern projected over the propeller or rudder, affording absolute protection ; the deck was formed of iron plates, bomb-proof, and in the centre was placed an iron turret sixteen feet in diam eter, six inches thick, supported on a cen tral shaft turned around by steam power applied below; ordnance of very heavy calibre was applied within the turret, the aim being effected as in the Monitor bv turning the turret. “ Strange to say, Captain Coles ennn ot even claim the form of the revolving turret, for the plan sent to the Kmperor contained a cupola or senti-glode, and mil n cylin drical turret, as in the Monitor. “ It is worthy of remark that it was not until 1859 that Captain Coles thou trio, of a recoining turret or cupola. “ Let me add that the Kmperor acknow ledged the receipt of nty plans with great promptness, ana paid me the highest com pliments on the occasion which I have ever received from any quarter. “Yours, very respectfully, “ J.
