TILE",ffiutATE CAPTAIN SIF I DINE.S.
Thedare-devil SE3d3rEE—whose pirate
ship, theilabs.ma, wy for nearly three
yews the terror of the.seas, causing more
Consternation by the boldness of her
depredations, than 'Ter were reported
of Red'l,Over or the legendery
Flying Dutchtnan--is now luxuriating
in Southampton, under the ample pro
tection tsf our cousin Bull. We see it
Stated, that our' Minister at France, Mr.
Perron, has forwarded some impor
tant dispatches to Mr. Anent's, our Ern •
bassador at England, upon which he is
to demand the. surrender of SEMMES.
The . Abolition press, we perceive, is
rather cautions In counseling the Ad
ministration what to do; but still there
is bui - one opinion as to the right of our
Government to the immediate posses
sion of the daring pirate. The Gazette
of this City, speaking more from impulse,
than calculation, utters its honest con
victions, as to the duty of our Govern
ment, it says:
"Every'reeling of regard for the Nation's
honor calls upon the 'United States Government
to 'demand the surrender of these pirates from
the English Government , They are upon Eng
lish soil, through-English connivance and.inter•
remise against us, Just as the Alabama was per
mitted to go to sea Lathe first plane through
the connivance of the English Government.
We trust /he Administration wilt at once demand
the prisoners thin thstenfram us, and that no un
worthy fear of involving this country in a war
with England will deter the Government from
asserting its•rights firmly, in this instance, and
ricidirexacting the regard which one nation
owes to auother.,in such oases."
The Administration, in this case of
Stamm, Will act as' it has acted since
the rebellion began, precisely as the
English and French Governments sug
gest or dictates. When the rebel en
voys, SmnittrAnd MASON, were captur
ed by one of our vessels and handed
'over to the Government„ our Adminis
tration declared its purpose to hold
them at all hazards; but a demand for
them, cpuched in linperative terms,
from the English Minister, caused their
immediate release. This was a most
humiliating act upon the part of our
Administration; but it was but the pre
cursor of others equally as bad.
The cowardly conduct of the Admin
istration, regarding NAPOLEON'S invasion
of Mexico, his iuccessful occupation
and
,final planting of Monarchy there,
have rendered our Government so con
temptible in the eyes of Europe, 45 to
induce any single power to insult us
with impunity. This is especially noto
rious regarding France and England.
In the face of Our Congress,unanimously
protesting against the planting of Maxi •
tuilliam upon a throne in Mexico, Mit.
SEWARD hastened to inform NAPOLEON,
through our minister, that this protest
amounted to nothing, as the Adm inistrs
t;on had no idea of paying the slightest
regard to it. Is to be expeeted, there
fore, after such humiliation as this,
that our Administration is ' going to
— rigidly exact the regard which one na
ion owes to another?" If England should
see fit to deliver Simms to our authorities
and we can see no reason for her hold
ing him, unless it be to further humiliate
our country, it will be at her own op
tion, and not in deference to our govern
ment's demand. It is doubtful, indeed.
whether our Administration will make
any request at all for Stemmas' delivery;
if it does, it will be after Ma. SEWARD
finds out that the English government
has no desire to retain him. In that
case our Premier will bluster about our
nation's honor, as lustily as he did in
the SLIDELL and MASON case, prior,
however, to Lord Lyon's demand for
their immediate enlargement. When
that demand was made, SEWARD did not
wait - for its being repeated. He gave
up his prisoners, one of the most miser
able acts of shameful pertly ever
committed by any nation. Times have
changed since Gen. JACKSON thirty
years ago scared the French into ,
the - payment of debts to Americans
citizens. That heroic man said "by the
Eternal" he would have them, and the
payment came; now if the French or
English government but , bend a brow,
our miserable Secretary of State is im
mediately upon his knees. And, is he
the 'man, after being beaten, kicked and
thumped for three years now to set up for
honor and courage, and demand, in the
teeth of opposition, the surrender of
Capt SEMMES? Mr. SEWARD Is clever
atnumaging au Abolition caucus, or in
predicting the end of the rebellion "in
sixty, pillinety days" at farthest; he is
calr4ltit intrigue, by which he nptrips
rivals like Mr. CEASE, but he is not pos.

upon Gen. MCCLELLAN to lead them,
what _ a glow of enthusiasm it would
produce thfoithout the country! Let it
be announced that MCCLELLAN is in
command to protect our State from in

will furnish a couple of regiments in
less than twenty-four-hours.: Every re
turn volunteer, who is able, will be
ready to march in fifteen minutes; and
again we will see military enthusiasm
like that which prevailed amongst us
during the first months of the rebellion.
But the scheming and cold blooded
traitors who have perverted our struggle
for national unity, into a miserable cru
sade for partizan Abolition purposes, will
not call upon the only man who is able
to add vigor and enthusiasm to our
arms. The Administration has labored
too long and hard to blacken McC LEL-
Law's name with nbliquy to now invite
him again to save the North from rebel
deva station.
When superseded by the braggart
McCII.ELLAN asked the Adminis
tration to permit him to be with the army
in its engagements; said he "If I can
not have command of my own men,
alt I ask is to be permitted to share their
fate in the field of battle." Even this
was denied the young patriot by our
Administration which was then plot
ting his destruction.
For the Post
MR. EDITOR.-A communication ap
peared in the Gazette on Monday morn
ing defending the new conscription Law
which reads very like the special pleading
of the - ilepub ican candidate for Congres
sional honors. Having put his foot in it, by
repealing the $BOO clause and obliging all
who are drafted to go or find -a substi
tute; that is just what the law is and no
thing else. That it is oppressive let the
Gazette writer speak:
A draft, with commutation, was found to be
unavailable, while a draft, without commuta
tion, teas depreciated by oil , igh:,,tinded men as a
measure /rig htfully oppressive, a measure to des
potic to be thought of even in this great nation
al extrenill). • • • To avoid total failure
on the one Mind and intolerable oppression on
the other, Congress wisely felt back upon the
volunteer system, regulated by assessed quotas
stimulated by bounties, and enforced under the
penalty of a draft without commutation. • •
Men must be had; but we have learned from
experience that a draft, with commutation, will
not procure them; and we all feel that an falai,
(I die draft, without commutation, would be a
measure too barbarous to think of.
The apparunt safety consists in the
fact'that the draft is not to he immediate
but to be postponed until after the Octo.
ber election, then it must come. Will It
be any the less "barbarous" after the ex
piration of fifty days than before, to the
drafted man who cannot pay for a sub
stitnte at anytime. 'There was no genu
ine humanity in the man who cut au
inch off the dogs tail each day, that he
might be used to it before the final blow.
The trouble is not with the draft
For The Poet
Mn. EDITOR :—.l - /iftirneig of the ibe
publican press, both the Co m m ere ia I and
the Disputa, brought forth notices about
the German press in the Northwest, by
stating that they were abandoning Fre
mont and his cause. To both of these
papers I sent communications correcting
their statements, and showing them that
the German press have not abandoned
their choice, but are still lighting for
Fremont. 1 showed them that none of
the German Republican papers, with
only two exceptions in Chicago, have
hoisted the Lincoln flag, and among
those who are still bolding hack is the
Pittsburgh "Preed,im'R Friend," a paper
which is only propped up by the city
and county pap. It was expected that
the papers which had so much to say
about the abandoning of Fremont by
the German press, would say a word
correcting that falsehood, and by this
keeping their readers not in ignorance
of the state of the affairs in general, but
they choose the latter course. As far as
I know there is not a dozen Germans
in this county who will vote for Lin
coln, though not more will vote for Fre
mont, but the greatest part of them will
vote for a good, honest and energetic
man, no matter by what party he might
be nominated. The rose-water and West
Point politics of Abe Lincoln has been
played out by the German.
The Tax on Cigars
The following information from the
Internal Revenue (Ake in explanation
of the new excise law will be read with
interest by cigar-makers throughout the
country.
The law requires every person before
making any cigars, whether for himself
or for other parties, to procure from the
Assistant Assessors of the district in
which he resides a permit authorizing
such trade, for which permit the Assess
or is entitled to a fee of 2.scents. If such
persons desire to work at cigar making
in any other assessment district than that
in which he resides, such permit must
be presented to the Assistant Assessor of
such other districts, and his endorsement
thereon procured authorizing such trade,
for which he is entitled to a fee of ten
cents.
Every person making cigars shall
keep an accurate account of all the
cigars made by him or her, for whom
made, their kind and quality. If made
for any other person than himself, the
name and place of business of such per
son, and on the first Monday .of every
month a copy of such account, verified
by oaths, is to be:delivered to the Assist
ant Assessor if required by.him.
Any person making cigars without
such permit, or the proper indorsement
thereon shall be punished by a fine of
$5 for each day, or imprisoninent. Any
person failing to make reture, or making
a- false return, shall be punished'by a fine
not exceeding $lOO, or by imprisonment.
Any person, firm or corporation, em
ploying or procuring any person to
make any cigars who has not a permit,
nor the indorsement required thereon,
shall be punished by a fine of $lO fur
each day such person is employed, or by
imprisonment. . .
Any person found making cigars with
out such permit, or the endorsement
thereon, shall forfeit all such cigars,. and
tobacco for making them.
All cigars manufactures' ~ aye to be

llad the gegulatlgn leader assuring us
~.fat We were citizens of a great, power,

rebel i3n*as,luistabout to yield to the
vigorous
blowil'or General Grant; but
thoughtful men; who do not like to shut
their eyes to facts, could see nothing to
justify thOttrose colored views. Military
affairs4O not look promising just now.
• Even the N. Y. Independent admits the
possibility, not to say the probability of
the failure of the summer campaign.
And, in this event, we have before us
another heavy draft, this time without
the privilege of commutation. Our finan
cial prospects arc not much better.
Secretary Chase has shrank from the
difficulties whichhis paper money sys
tem has produced; and when we re
member that, three months ago, he said
that military success was absolutely in
dispensable to sustain the credit of the
Government, we can early arrive at his
opinion On the financial condition of the
country, now that the success of the cam
paign is Very doubtful, and a new levy,
and consequent prolongation of the war,
are certain to increase the public debt.
SOme silly persons think that it is not
loyal to announce any but cheering
prospects. But he alone does real ser
vice to his country who adheres to the
truth; an(l, as fur as we can see, we have
expressed the exact truth in the above
lines. Then, we must also take into ac
count other elements of evil. This war
has tended to bring into prominence the
worst, and to throw back the best points
of our character. Our pride, always too
great, has now become enormous. We
are childishly vain, boasting of every
little victory, and seeking to hide or di
minish every defeat. We have boasted
without valise, until we have turned
friends into enemies, and have made
ourselves the laughing stock in the world
by the easy self-conceited flippancy
with which we predicted triumphs that
we have never gained. We are becom
ing more and wore ungenerous to ad
versaries: who, bad as their cause is,
have proven themselves possessed of
the highest qualities of a warlike race;
and, for want of any more substantial
triumphs; are taking every day more
and more to the "vigorous prosecution"
of the ignoble business calling them
hard names. At a time when we are
threatened with financial ruin, we have
entered on a course of reckless expendi
lure, the madness of which is equalled
only by its vulgarity. Statesmanship
has given way to the lowest political
cunning; the dug which once daunted
di !lance on this continent to all Europe,
has beau lowered first to France, and
inure shamefully—not to Spain, but—to
the Captain Overal ot Cuba, and while
honesty, integrity, common decency,
even in the management of public af
fairs, have been entirel) forgotten.
But—this is a Jeremiah. Well—Jere
' unah told the people of his day the truth,
end if they did not listen to him, or be
lieve him, so much the worse for them.
The President is about to appoint a day
of humiliation and prayer. Let it be a
real day of humiliation, by a recognition
of the lowness to which we have fallen.
Let us leave off abusing the rebels, fur
awhile, at le oat, until we have whipped
them, and let us employ the spare time

WHAT Mn. CHASE THINKS.--The
Washington,cchrespondent of the World
says: Mr. Chase compares the attempt
of the Seward Republicans to revive the
finances by nominating My. Fessenden
Secretary of the Treasury, to the yalraho
plaxtri process used In the covering of
common metal with silver and gold.-- 1
"They may gild as they choose," said
he to one of his friends, "they will never
succeed in making their lead spoons and
forks look like gold. ' MG: Fessenden is
certainly a capable man; but were he
endowed with'the fertility of a Walpole
or the genius of a Colbert, he would fail
as will,filly man who will consent to
identify his policy with the policy of'
Mr. Lincoln and of Mr. Steward. - How
can he cover nn annual deficit of nearly
seven hundred millions of dollars? Thig
is the question which all the financieringt
skill of the world combined cannot solve
to the satisfaction of the interests of thri
nation, unlass through a change of pol;
icy, of which the present AdreinistratiOn
is incapable.'!

TFIE London Conference having failed
in its efforts to restore peace between
Denmark and Germany, has now ad
journed, and it is likely that the fighting
will soon be renewed. England must
now aid Denmark, her honor is concern
ed in the matter, and besides it is the
will of the British people. The govern
ment has ordered that thirty thousand
men be ready for immediate service, for
what reason, has not as yet been made
known to the public, but we may easily
judge. It is the generally received opin
ion that if England engaged in a war vvitt
Germany, she would regain the prestite
she has lost, it is certain that she could
do an immense amount of damage to
the Germans.
