DAILY POST. PITTSBURGH THURSDAY, JANUARY 2a, 18(34, LETTER O -F AEI'. B. 11. LEF We direct attention to the letter of Rev. R. 13. LEE, of Waebington, l's., published in to-day's paper; it is a sincere and manly expresaiou of regret:for having signed the Abolition protist against Bieb• op—fiklietirtur: OIIR GOV ERNMENT AND NA Po L When the French Emperor first invaded Mexico, under the false pretense of com pelling her to pay a few dollars of debts, no brie of any intelligence, believed brit that the invasion was intended to subju gate the Mexican people. NAPOLEON Was after conquest and he has, at length. at tained it. His deputy has accented the throne of Mexico; French genius is thus triumphant, while our- Government bows her head in shame, at the Administra- Lion's indifteieisce to the stealthy Empe ror's designs upon this continent. Nearly two years ago the attention of the Administration was, by a member of Congress, directed to NAPOLEON'S inva sion. In his place, in the House of Rep resentatives, regretting the conduct of the Abolition majority, in their mode of pros seating the war against the rebels, he re marked as follows: " If we look abroad the spectacle tends only to our Shame. We see the sceptered hands of Earopeplanting their loyal ban ners upon the soil of this western hemis phere, which it is our natural duty to con• secrete to Republicanism, and which we might at least have guarded from the greed of foreign despots. The flag of Arragon and Castile flaunts in the air of' San Domingo, and united with the blaz DE • ries of Fierce and England, is unfurled noon the walls of San Juan de Ulloa. Where may they not float a twelvemonth hence, if we, the natural guardians of this continent, should still be batty dabbing in each other's gore? -Sir, if there must be war, let it be against the natural enemies of Republicanism; let us make some sacrifice to win back in amity the south, that we may stand once again as com radea in arms, to scourge these foreign interlopers within their proper limits." In twelve months from the date of this speech the emblem of French superior ity waved, in triumph, from the Mexican capitol, which prompts us to reflect upon where else it may float—twelve months hence? The Pittsburgh Gazette yesterday, sees in the successful invasion of Mexico, sufficient to arouse "apprehension for the safety of the world" intimating that the United States may become NAPOLEON'S "next victim." It remarks: "The restoration of Louisiana, Texas, and Arkansas cannot take place too soon, nor can the Government be too energetic in making itself strong, both in military power and in popular favor, in those Southern regions. We say popular juror. for it is of this element, that NAPOLEON will avail himself, rather than resort to military force, to get his foot upon the neck of our Government, or failing in that, to despoil it of its Gulf and trans- Mississippi territory." This brings us to 'the consideration of the means nied by the Administration, sinoe NAPOLEON'S invasion, to render itself - Strong in "popular favor" in the South? It began by proclamations of emancipation and confiscation, and has exhausted its genius, for harm, byinvit ing one-tenth of the people of each rebel howl State, to rule over the remainder. Bat in order to do this another test is in stituted, which is that even this one-tenth must turn Abolitionists, and swear to support all Abolition legislation, passed and prospective. Should the fears of the Gazette be well founded that Texas, Lou isiana and Ark, uses are in danger from NAPOLEON, will the one tenth, who are to be constituted the master of nine-tenths, be likely to be able to resist him? The simple truth is that those having control of our Government are unable for the present condition of our public affairs. The master fanatics, whose counsels are followed by the Administration, are so heated, that they see nothing for our Government to accompl Mkt but the de struction of slavery and the subjugation of the Southern people. Every effort and thought is bent in that direction. NAPOLEON may invade Mexico, but it creates no alarm in the minds of those having the honor and safety of our coun try intrusted to their keeping. lf, per chance, this indifference is too freely commuted upon, we, instead of receiving explanations from our opponents, are informed that we are "opposing the Gov ernment, and are threatened with sup pression. We agree with our neighbor, however, that "the restoration of Looia• Tana, Texas and Arkansas cannot take place too soon," and the same may be said of the entire South. The question is how is this restoration to be effected? The yam is a species of sweet potato, and is extensively grown in the South. It grows much larger than the common sweet potato, which is here called the Spanish potato, and is much sweeter. They often grow to weigh five pounds and sometimes more. They do not become sweet until they aro fully matured, and usually not until they are dug. They then become very sweet; so much so that when baked small drops of molasses will be scattered over the surface. They are dßlicious, and are regarded as very healthy and nutritious food. The manner of growing is as follows Early in the spring a bed is prepared, and the yams are spread thickly over it, but carefully laid so that they will not touch each other and covered about three inches deep. When they have grown till the vine is three or four inches long, and after a rain, the ground is prepared by throwing it up into ridges. The slips are then carefully drawn from the yam, and set in ridges about ten inches apart, where they will take root and grow. In about two weeks another crop of vines will have grown in the bed, which can again be drawn, and this can be repeated tour or five times. In the meantime, the vines first set will have grown two or three feet, which can be cut off and Bet out, and will do as well as the slips drawn from the bed, and some think better. Thpy are cultivated with the plow and hoe When the vines are fully grown on a rich, sandy soil, they cover the ground like a mat. They vary much in the yield, which is owing, in a great measure, to the seasons. 'r , re - hundred bushels to the acre is a fair eel& _ The Republican papers Oa highly de lighted with a remark which they claim was made by an eminent Frenchman, that "Abraham Lincoln was a greater man than Cmsar." We clan only see one parallel between them: Cnaar destroyed the liber ties of his country. THE PITTSBURGH POST: / T H. U S DAY MORNING, JAN t 7 11Y 2g, 1864, Letter from Rey.

THE CHARGE AGAINST 1318 HOP HOPKINS NOT BUOTAIN ED The Protest "Precipitantly_ and laths creetly Drawn Up. Messrs Editors of the Philadelphia Age. I regret that circumstances compel me to ask a place iu your paper, for a few lines in reference to the late protest of a large number of the Clergy of the Prot eetant Episcopal Church of the Diocese of Pennsylvania, against a letter of Bish op Hopkins, in reply to a political com• mittee, on the subject of slavery. As One of the signers of the protest, I can lawfully move a reconsideration of the protest, as in the case of an affirmative voter in a Parliamentary proceeding. Upon "sober, second thought. I cannot but reget, that Bishop Hopkins complied with the request of a political committee; nor can I but regret just as much, that the clergy of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Pennsylvania, undertook, as a clerical body, to protest against the Bishop's proce dure. In both cases, the parties, as clergy men,lave drawn the Protestant Episcopal Church into "the arena of politics," how I ever little we may have intended it. So true is this, that Bishop Hopkins' letter has been everywhere published and com• I mended by the Democratic press; the pro test has been es extensively published and as warmly commended by the Repub• I li= press. Thus has our church been unwisely involved in party strife, and has lost much, every where, of its dignity and spiritual propriety. While I am not convinced of the want 1 of wisdom at least, in the proceedings of both parties, I feel personally involved in the indiscretion of having signed the pro test before I had an opportunity of carefully and conscientiously reading Bishop Hop kins' production. A friend bee lately Bent me a copy of it as it was circulated in this Diocese ; and I am painfully surprised to find that I cannot justify myself to a Chris tian brother and Minister of oar Common Master, for having so hastily s gned a writ ing in which he is denounced as an nit worthy servant of Jesus Christ " The Protest was, it seems to me, pre cipitantly and indiscreetly drawn up. It charges Bishop Hopkins with two offences —one of having defended slavery as it ex ists "in the -Cotton States;" and the other, with having sustained, "on Bible princi ples," "the States in rebellion againstthe Government." I cannot find a word of either in any part of the copy of Bishop Hopkins' letter, as circulated in this Diocese before the late election. Its date and the whole tenor of it shows it is the document aimed at by the writer of the Protest. The Bishop speaks everywhere of the Slavery "of the Southern States." and never uses the words "Cotton States." This is far from immaterial. Every one knows, (the writer has personal experi ence of it i that slavery is mach milder in the "Bnier States" than in the "Cotton States." To say, then, that Bishop Hop kiwi defends slavery as it exists, (or is supposed to exist) in these latter States, conveys an intimation and odium of do fending it in its worst and most severe forms and practices ; whereas the Bishop never uses any other words, I repeat, than "Southern States," in inany of which slavery exist.' in the mildest degree, in any age or country, not excepting J udea. In regard to the charge of euetainicg "on Bible principles" "the States in re bellion against the Government," I can not find a sentence of such purport.. In one passage, the Bishop uses the following language: "Who are we that are ready to trample on the doctrine of the Bible, and tear to shreds the constitu tion of our country, and even plunge the land into the untold horrors of civil war, and yet boldly pray to the God of Israel to bless our very acts of rebellion against His own sovereign authority?" The con text sufficiently ahows. that he had no such idea as sustaining the rebellion. He is reasoning to show that those who have declared their willingness to see the Union forever broken up, rather than that universal and immediate emancipa tion should not take place, have invented and proclaimed "a higher law' than the Bible. And what candid man cart deny that the extreme and offensive terms (ex aggerated into falsehoods) in which sla very has been for years discussed through out the non slaveholding States, in the press, in public harangues, and in the pul pit, exhibited an insane determination to involve the country in civil strife? Who can deny that this course, so persistently continued, served to produce such a feel fug of resentment in the public mind of the South, as enabled the leaders of the rebel lion to draw the once loyal masses into its vortex? I am free to say, that I do not approve the extremes to which Bishop Hopkins carries the palliations of slavery, although with the laudable motive of guarding hie fellow citizens against the violent and malignant spirit of abolitionism. I would not say of slavery, that it is a 'doctrine of the Bible.' nor that it is sanctioned by the Gospel. It is an unhappy condi tion for the slave, the master, and the country in which it exists. Like every other condition and relation in our sinful world, it admits of great abuse and hard ships; bat also many palliations and al leviatione. The gospel is adverse to it, and in sixty or seventy years after its gen eral prevalence, it destroyed it. It was obviously doing this in the South, where it was working efficaciously, in harmony with the great scheme of African Colon ization, first, to meliorate, and then grad tinily to abolish it, until bath were need , testily, rudely and wickedly interfered with by modern abolitionism, under the lead of a shallow and wretched fanatic. who, a few years ago, publicly declared "the idea of Jesus Christ to be obsolete." Bishop Hopkins gays, he holds the colored man to be "a Brother, " "though not his equal." is the wildest abolition ist really and in practice better than he ? Bishop Hopkins is a friend of the scheme of African Colonization; and in connection with it, offered to the Southern States, in a published work, a plan of gradual eman cipation. lam happy to know that Bish• op Potter is also a friend to 'the Ameri can Colonization Society. The friends and advocates of its scheme of gradual emancipation and colonization, 1 hold to be the truest and most enlightened friends of the colored race here and in Africa. Truth, conscience, honor, urge me as I view these subjects, since I have read the Bishop's letter, to express my regret, that I signed the Protest. Where these prin ciples beckon me, lam not afraid to fol low. RICHARD HENRY LEE, Washington, Pa., Jan. 19, 1864. THE rebel Secretary of the Treasury Bays that unless his proposed loan of a thousand mi Ilions shall be taken up by April next, the dilapidated Southern Confederacy will tumble to pieces. The rebel Secretary of War says, that unlefi the farmers are made to disgorge their provisions, the Confederacy will die of starvation; the rebel Senator Wigfall says that unless they enforce the conscription of every white man they can lay hold of capable of bearing arms, their Confederacy will surely go to the dogs. Let it tumble, die and go. Baoww was speaking of Joe Holton to a friend one day, and said of him, "Joe is a firetrate fellow, but it must be confessed, he has hie failings. lam sorry it is so, but I cannot tell a lie for any man. I love Joe, - but I love truth mote." "My dear Brown," said Joe, who overheard the remark," I never thought you would prefer a perfect stranger to an old acquaintance. FROM THE ARMY 0 FT IME, POTOMAC A Significant Ortier—itebeht Caught in toiled States Vniftirms to be Hung upon the Spot. CULPRPER COURT HOUSE, January 22, 1864. The following important order has been issued: Ileadquattera Cavalry Corps, Army ett the Putomac, January 18,1864. f GENERAL ORDERS, No. 6 —The number of surprises and captures that have been made of pickets, scouts, patrols, and other parties, belonging to this command, by Dieu. lla parties in the United States uni form, demands the most energetic action of the commanders concerned, to prevent such occurrences. I. Hereafter no individual or parties o men will be permitted to approach within rifle eliot until it is conclusively ascer tained what is their character and who they really are. Parties of more than two persons will be halted at least three hundred yards distance, and but one per son, under any circumstance, will be per. mitted to advanc to idenfify the party. The officers, or non-commissioned offi cars will be held responsible for the char acter of the persons they allow to ap proach their position. No excuse will hereafter be accepted for a surprise or capture, under the plea of the enemy being in our uniform, or having false pa per?, or other pretensions. It is the first duty of every officer and soldier to know beyond a doubt every party they may come in contact with, and whenever there exists this doubt the par ties concerned will be secured, and the facts reported immediately to the proper headquarters for further action. The names of all officers, non commis sioned officers, and privates who are sur prised on duty and captured by the enemy will hereafter be reported to these head quarters. The officers will be recommen ded for dismissal, and the enlisted men will be tried by court...martial, should they prove to be the responsible parties. 11. Every guerilla or other rebel wear ing the uniform of a United States sol dier, caught in the act cf making war against any of the forces of this com mend, will be hung upon the spot. 111. Division commanders will cause this order to be carefully read to each of the regiments of their commands, that the officers and men may fully understand it. A report will be made to these headquar• tars to that effect after these instructions have been read out in each division. By command of Major General Pleas flown. E. B. Parsons,' Captain and A. A. A. ProsPeot c f a General European The news from Germany, received by the Etna, is of a very important and sig nificant character. The complications arising out of the Schleswig Holstein dif- Laity are daily assuming a character so grave that it would seem as if nothing can cow prevent a general war or n revo lutionary movement on a vast scale. A recent proclamation of the King of Den mark breathes the firmest determination to maintain his rights. "Our motto," he says, is "the honor of our country. It shall be upheld by peaceable measures if possible; if necessary by force of anus." To give effect to this declaration the Dan ish reserves, to the number of 14.000, have been called out, and troops have been sent to the Kronework, with orders to blow up the bridge next the slu.er ;In mediately on the outbreak: of In the meantime the attitude z t the Austrian and Prussian Governments is of so temporizing a character that it only serves to intensify the excitement which prevails throughout Germany. ()tie of the s .mi official journals of Vienna pub lishes ar article cautioning th minor German States against taking any part in the movement against Denmark. This warning will have no effect; for the toes lion has become one of n atio n al, f ee l ing with the German peo{.le, and the smaller States, whatever may be the apprehen stone of their Governments, will be swept into the movement. Prussia, which with Austria, was a party to the conven tion of 152. is being profoundly agitated by these influences, and the:liberal party there are straining every eff)rt to induce the King to withdraw from treaty, on the ground that Denmark has violated her engagements with Schleswig Hol stein. In the news suet re( eived it a stated that the \ ienna Cabinet has intimated to the Prueeian Government that it would not take any i.ction in the Schleswig questicn it Prussia wculd withdraw from the London protocol. It is probable that Frederick William, with his characteristic obstinacy, will resist all these influences, and will endeavor to stem the tide of pop ular feeling. He will be the more dis posed to do this from the fact that Eng land has ranged herself on the side of Denmark. Should he persevere how. ever, in this course. it will cost him his throne and set the revolutionary ball in motion. Herein lies the great danger of the complication. There can be no doubt ea to the part which France will play in the struggle. It is true that in hie recent letter to the Duke of Augustenbarg Louis Napoleon expresses his opinion that the General Diet should have debated this question more fully before taking hostile steps against Denmark, but there is no doubt that at heart he is well pleased with what they have done. The dangerous aspect which the question is assuming, complicat ed as it R ill still further be by the dogged ness of the King of Prussia, opens up to him the fairest chance that will ever present itself of hisrealming the traditional policy of France in regard to the Rhine. It is this prospect which has no doubt, induced him to contrive that a committee of the French Legislature should call upon him to renounce his designs on Mexico, and withdraw all the French troops that are at present there. From this brief resume of the situation it can no longer be doubted that matters have reached a crisis in Europe wnich renders a long and sanguinary straggle inevitable.—N. Y. Herald. THE SIEGE OF CHAHLENTON Condition 01 the Army—Progress o f the Siege—Sale of Confiscated Estates. We take the following from a Hilton Head letter to the New York Times, dated Jan. 21 : The shelling of Charleston from Fort Putnam is continued night and day, at in tervals of ten minutes. One gun alone has fired over 1,100 rounds, at an elevation of 40 degrees. Charleston is gradually crumb. , ling under this incessantbombardment. We often observe dense , clouds of smoke aris ing from some portion of the city, which is considered good evidence that our firing is effective. Occasionally we send a few missiles to Moultrie or Johnson or some other rebel work, which are reluctantly replied to by the enemy. For some weeks past the enemy has evinced an unmistak able desire to be let alone. He invariably waits for an attack before using his pieces. We do not observe any changes of note along the borders of the rebel lines. The iron clad fleet remain on picket duty off Charleston, notwithstanding rumors to the effect that a number of the monitors had been dispatched for service to the Gulf. The court of inquiry instituted to investigate the circumstances attending the loss of the Weehawken have not yet made public the result of their proceed ings. The work of raising, the Weehaken sad the Keokuk, although not abandoned, has not progressed actively of late. The ves sels consist of such a vast quantity of met al , added to which is a tremendous weight of loose iron, including guns and ammo. nition, that the machinery required for bringing the eiatiie mass to the surface must neeessarily be of the best material and of extensive proportions.
