tensions has been set np in a correspond ence tediously prolonged, and every ae vice employed to cover the disregard at an obligation which, between belligerent nations, is only to be enforced by a sense of honor. , , ... No farther comment is needed on this subject, but it may be permitted to direct your special attention to the close of the correspondence submitted to you, from which you will perceive that the final pro posal made by the enemy, in aettlemept ot all the disputes under the cartel, is, that we should liberate all prisoners held by us, without the offer to release from captivity any of those held by them. In the meantime a systematic and con certed effort has been made to quiet the complaints in the United States of those relatives and friends of the prisoners in onr hands who are unable to understand why the cartel is not executed in their favor, by the grouriffless assertion that wq are the parties who refuse compliance. Attempts are also made to shield them selves from the execration excited by their otyn odious treatment of our officers and soldiers now captive in their hands, by misstatements, such as that the pris oners held by ns are deprived of food. To this last accusation the conclusive anawbr has been made that, in accordance with our law and general orders of the de partment, the rations of the prisoners are precisely the same, in quantity and qual ity, as those served out to our own gallant soldiers in the field, and which have been found sufficient to support them in their arduous campaign, while it is not pretend ed by the enemy that they treat prisoners by the aame generous rule. By an indul gence, perhaps unprecedented, we have even allowed the prisoners in our hands to be supplied by their friends at home with comforts not enjoyed by the men who captured them in battle. In contrast to this treatment, the most revolting inhu inanity has characterized the couduct of the United States towards prisoners held by them. One prominent fact which ad mits no denial nor palliation, must suffice as a test. The officers of oar army, na-, tives of Southern and semi-tropical cli mates, and unprepared for the cold of a Northern winter, have been conveyed for imprisonment during the rigors of the present season, to the most Northern and exposed situation that could be se lected by the enemy. There, beyond the reach of comforts, and often even of news from home and family, exposed to the piercing cold of the Northern lakes, they era he’d by men who cannot be ignorant of, even it they do not design, the proba ble result. How many of our unfortunate friends and comrades, who have ]>assed unscathed throogh numerous battles, will perish on Johnson's Island, under the cruel mat to which they are subjected, none but the Omniscient can foretell. That they will endure this barbarons treatment with the same stern fortitude that they have ever evinced in their country’s ser vice, we cannot doabt. Bat who can be found to believe the assertion that it is oar refusal to execute the cartel, and not the malignity of the foe, which has caused the infliction of such intolerable cruelty on our own loved and honored defenders ? The following is the conclusion of the message ? Coudact of the Enemy. I cannot close this message without again adverting to the savage ferocity which still marks the conduct of the ene my in the prosecution of the war. A fter their repulse from their defenses before Charleston, they first sought revenge by an abortive attempt to destroy the city with an incendiary composition, thrown by improved artillery from a distance of four miles. Failing in this they changed their missiles, but lortunatelv have thus far succeeded in killing two women in the city. Their commanders, Butler, McNeil and Turchin, whose horrible barbarities have their names widal»- nntrvrinne. everywhere execrable, are still honored and cherished by the authorities at Wash ington. The first named, after having been withdrawn from the scenes of his cruelties against women and prisoners of war, (in reluctant concession to the de man da of outraged humaoity in Earope) has just beau pnt in a new command at Norfolk, where helpless women and chil dren are again placed at his mercy. Nor has iess unrelenting warfare been waged by these pretended triends of haman rights and liberties against the unfortunate negroes. Wherever the eoemy have been abl&to gain access-they have forced ihto - the ranks of their army every able-bodied man that they could seize, and have either left theaged, the women, and the children tn-perißh by starvation, or have gatherer them into camps where they have been wasted by a-frightfol mortality. Without clothing or shelter, often. withont food, in capable, without supervision, of taking the most ordinary urecautione against dis ease, these helpless dependents, accns tomed to have their wants supplied by the foresight of their masters, are being rapid ly exterminated wherever brought in con tact with the invaders. By the Northern man, on.whose deep-rooted prejudices no kindly restrained influence is exeroised, they are treated with aversion and neglect. There is little hazard in predicting that, in all localities where the enemy have gained a temporary foothold, the negroes, who under our care increased six fold in number since their importation into the Colonies by Great Britain, will have been rednosd-by; mortality,.daring the war, to not more than one-half their previous number. Information or. this subject is derived not only from our own observation and from reports of the negroes who succeed in .escaping from the enemy, but full con firmation is afforded by statements pub fished in the Northern journals by humane persons engaged in making appeals to the charitable tor aid in preventing tho ravages of disease, exposure and starvation among the negro women and children who are crowded into encampments. The frontier of our conntry bears wit ness to the: alacrity and efficiency with whioh the general orders of the enemy have been executed, in the devastation of the farms, the destruction of the agricul tural implements, the burning of the bouses, and tho plunder of everything moveable. Its whole aspect is a com meat on the ethics of general order issued by the United States on the 24th of April, 1863, comprising ‘'instructions' for tho armies of the United States iu the held,’* and of which the following is an example: “Military necessity admits of all direct destruction of life or limb of armed ene mies. end of other penons whose destrac tion is incidentally unavoidable in the armed contests of.the war; it allows of the capturing of armed enemy and of every enemy of importance to the hostile government; or of peculiar danger to the captor; it allows of all destruction of property and obstructions of the ways and channels ot,traffic, travel orfeommoni cation, and of all withholding of suste nance or means of life from the enemy; uf the appropriation of whatever au ene my’s coantry affords necessary for the subsistence of safety of the army; and of such deception as does not involve the breaking of good faith, either positively pledged regarding agreements entered into during the war, or supposed by the modern law of war to exist. Men who take np arms against one another in pub lic war do not cease on this account to’be moral beings, responsible to one- another and to God.” The Btrikiog contrast to these teachings and practices presented by our army when invading Pennsylvania illustrates the mor al Character of oar people. Though their forbearance may have been unmerited and unappreciated by the enemy, it waaim poeed by their own self-respect, which forbade their degenerating from Christian warriors into plnuderingruffianß, assailing the property f lives-and.-honor p£ helpless: non-combatants. If their condaoty wheel thus contrasted with the inhuman practi ces of oar foe, fail to command the res* pect and sympathy of civilized nations in THE PITTSBURGH POST: TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 15, 1863. oar day, it cannot fail to be recognized by their leas deceived posterity. The hopes last year entertained or an early termination of the war has not been realized. Coaid carnage have satisfied the appetite of onr enemy for the destine i tion of human life, or grief HBve appeaßed ] their wanton desire to inflict human bu! feting, there has been bloodshed enough on both sides, and two lands have been sufficiently darkened by the weeds of ‘mourning to induce a disposition for peafce. if unanimity in a people could dispel delusion, it has been displayed too un mistakably not to have silenced the pretense that the Southern States were merely disturbed by a factious insurrec tion, and it must long since have been admitted that they were but exerci sing their reserved right to modify their own Government in such manner as would best secure their own happiness. But these considerations htfve been powerless to allay the unchristian hate of those who, long|ac customed to draw large profits from a union with üb, cannot control the rage excited by the conviction that they have by their own folly destroyed therichest resources ol their prosperity. They refuse even to listen to proposals for the only peace possible be tween ns —a peace which recognizing the impassable gulf which divides ns, msy leave the two peoples separately to re cover from the injuries inflicted on both by ,he ceaseless war now waged against ns. Having begun the war in direct viola ,ion of their constitution, which forbade the attempt to coerce a State, they have been hardened by crime untill they no longer attempt to veil their purpose to destroy the and subverb the sovereignty and independence of these States. Wo now know that the only reliable hope for peace is in the vigor of our resistance, as the cessation of their hostility is only to be expected from the pressure of their necessities. The patriotism of the people has proved equal to every sacrifice demanded by their country'B need. We have been united as a people never were united, under like circumstances, before. God has blessed us with success disproportionate to our means, and under His divine favor, our la bors must at last be crowned with the re ward due to men who have given all they possessed to the righteous defense of their inalienable rights their, homes, and their alters. JEFFERSON DAVIS Richmond, Dec. 7, 1863. GIFTED MINDS. Mit. Editor : The “ Commercial gave promise in double leaded leaders, by leaden Leadel writers, that a new era was about to dawn on black Pittsburgh, in,the way of newspapers. Journalism was to be lifted from the low estate into which it had fallen,and so elevated,thorough and comprehensive was the prospectus, so clear was the announcement that none but “gifted minds” would be trusted with this desirable enterprise, that the public had a right to expect a newspaper differ ing in all respects from other tsiablibktd papers ol the city. 1'- was not to be the penny whistle of local politicians, nor to forward the bcheraea of Governors, ex Governors, Mayors, soap contract ors, or members of the Legislature, but preserving a dignified national position, insure the respect nod dt serve the cobti dencQ of a wealthy, intelligent and loyal community. Bat how bus all this boasting turned out, to what have the community been treated, what amount of brain or experi ence, say nothing ot integrity, has been developed?

Will nothing fill their capacious maw? Will no amount of rubbing up to “big people*' confer gentility, nor cuffs nor refusals bring the blash to the cheeks of this persevering family. Members of Congreßß are denounced for distributing patronage and the downfall of the repub lie prophesied thereat, because the afore said patronage did not fall into the hands of the “family.” How important have been all the flourishes of these transparent humbugs, and self-styled gifted minds One Shark. !

During Lee's invasion ol Pennsylva nia oidtrawtio given for a movement upon Richmond, but the effort failed for reasons thus stated by Geu. Halleck: “When the rebel army was moving north upon Maryland and Pennsylvania, Gen. Dix sent all of hie available force from Norfolk and Fortress Monroe up the York river, lor t.be pnrpoee of catting off Lee’s communications with Richmond and of attacking that place, which was then defended by only a handfnl of mili tia. The expedition, however, failed to aco cmplish a single object for which it had been fitted out, the failure resulting, it was alleged, from the inefficiency of one of the Generals commanding. Gen. Du therefore ordered its return, and sent the troops, of which it was composed to rein force the army of Gen. Meade, north of the Potomac.” I W.tt UK.ITION TO TtiE TMITED fisTAl £S. The President of the United States, in his late message to Congress, recommend a the necessity of encouraging immigration, in order to supply the demand for laboi- era now everywhere felt throughout the country. From the numbers of foreign ers who have arrived here daring the present year, we have no doubt but that some 80 rt of encouragement has been already given. This is particularly true in regard to Ireland. We saw a state ment, the other day in an Irish paper, thatduring the present year there sailed from the harbor of Cork, alone, over 70, OOOdeetined, principally, for the United States. Whole villages were depopulated by the immense oxodus to this country, Canada aDd A ustralia. Since the firßt ol January last, there arrived at the port of New Y r ork 146,649 immigrants. The Archbishop of Tuim, Ireland, alluding to this immense drain of its population, in a letter to the Chancellor dfthe British Exchequer sayß that this exodus to Amer ica will continue “just bo long as their just claims on the English Government are mercilessly unheeded.” If this im mense immigration continues it will eventually transplant and liberate the Irish people. It appears, from statistics lately given to the English public, that although Eng land has about twice the population ol Ireland, counting one to every acre of cultivated land, the laborers of the for mer receive much better wages, than the latter, and are lar mere comfortable in every respect. Apother fact is shown that, within the last twenty years Euglaud baß increased her population twenty-five per cent.; Scotland has increasedhera six teen per cent, while the population ol Ireland has decreased more than twenty five per cent. This is of course, the re sult of immigration. It was, and perhaps is, the policy of England to get rid altogether of the genu ine Irish; they never were considered loyal to that Government, and they Dever will become so. Seven centuries oi rob bery, outrage and oppression have made them aliens to their oppressors ; and, at the present day there is as much hatred of England among the peasantry of Ire land as ther e was at the close ot the dis* astrou rebellion of ninety-eight. Not withstanding the abundance raised from that country's soil, her population is sometimes starving; its substance is ear ned oft' to fill the Deckels of English Ab sentee landlords; ootn geous and increas ing taxation does the rest in impoverishing the people, whose very substance 13 ex acted to sustain a State church > stab liahment; a monster which scandalizes religion by being the richest church in Christendom; in the very poorest c< untry 'in the world. Heretofore Ireland ha. been to her oppressors a nitne of Wraith, while her own sons were starving; thin j seems to be changing The peop!*» ot that country are flocking to Amem . in such numbers as will ; robably l ring about ibeir liberation of England in hitivl Kar a BtVct \r( a io« iitij, ttl tli«1 case Ireland will lose her nationality; the epitaph of Emmbtt never will be written, bat his surviving coontrymen will mingle among the great American people, and at some day, perhaps, lake an important part in revenging upon perfidious K in land their owu wrongs and oura. DEATH OE AN EDITOR The Armstrong County Democrat comes to us this week in mourning for the death of its late editor John K Calhoun, esq , who expired on the Gi h inst. The de ceased was a man of taleDt, energy and integrity; and was a lawyer of command ing ability. His surviving partner allu ding to his deaib remarks : ‘‘On the first Monday ot November Mr. Calhoun left home to attend the Sessicus of the So prt-me Court at Pittsburgh in good health, and with every promise of a long and use lul life. He returned slightly indisposed, but with no apprehension of dangerous illness, regarding it merely aa a cold. He : continued uuwell for some lime, abating little, however, of his natural and persevering labors. He was at length compelled to take to his room with what was then thought to be infiamma tory rheumatism. From this he apparent ! y recovered and was much better ou the JlsL (d November (Saturday,) and coni in ued improving uutil Monday when he gr<;w worse, his disease developing itself as typhoid lever. This announcement seemed to alarm him as he doubted the ability of his constitution to undergo the debilitating influences of that disease, and being assured of its character he observed to an intimate friend that ‘he whs starling upon a very long and uncertain voyage.’ Hia words were prophetic, and the termi nation of that voyage has spread a gloom over the community, and remantled his already afflicted family in the sombre habilaments of mourning ” ,v CO!VN(JHPTim-TH£ AD verliser having been restored to health in a few woeks. by a very simple remedy, after hav ing sufferod several years with a severe lung af 'ootion, and that dread disease.
