BT SAMUEL J. ROW.
CLEARFIELD, PA., JULY 3, 1861.
THE CLEARFIELD BEPUBLICAIf AG A IK,
, , The editors of the Clearfield 'Republican
seem to think that somebody is annoyed by
the course Of their paper. Pretty correct in
one point of view. It is annoying for any ol
our loyal citizens traveling abroad, to have a
copj of the Clearfield Republican stuck under
his nose, with the inquiry" as to whether that
paper represents the people of his county, and
whether they are all secessionists up there ?
Such things sometimes occur ; and under the
circumstances a loyal Cloarfield man leels
both annoyed and disgraced, by the fact that
such a sheet is published in bis county.
: The ruling passion of the editors of that pa
per is, an intense hatred of tho Republican
party, and it seems to afford them an especial
- delight to misrepresent Lincoln and Greely.
Their last paper, for instanco, has an article
in it for the second time ; purporting to show
that Lincoln in 1848 made "a speech, in which
he advocated the doctrine of the right of a
State to secede from the Union. Now, Mr.
Lincoln does not say any thing about the right
of a State to secede, in that speech ; nor did
he ever admit or advocate such right in any
speech in his life. The speech referred to
was made about the period when downtrod
den Hungary was rising in arms against the
Austiian Government, and when every true
Americen heart sympathised with her brave
people. . The speech of Lincoln alluded to,
defends the right of rebellion and revolution,
as a remedy for any people who find their lib
erties destroyed by the government under
which they live. This is a right which no
Statesman ever denied. It is the right to de
stroy and defy tho existing government, in
order to get relief from oppression for which
there is no other redress. But the right of
secession, as claimed by the rebels, is a very
different thing. They claim that the Union is
nothing but a compact of States, and that the
States havo the right to withdraw or secede
wbenover they please and that such secession
Is not rebellion' and revolution against the
government, but a right belonging to them
under the existing Constitution and laws.
. When Mr. Lincoln made tbe speech refer
red to, tbe right of Secession as now claimed
was not under discussion. Such terms as the
right of a State to secede from the Union,"
or the "right of Secession," were not used
and not thought of.
This is only a specimen of the misrepresen
tation continually found in the columns of the
Republican. Greely comes in for a full share
of their editorial wrath. They fairly gnash
their teeth at the "Tribune." But tbey
might ns well keep their temper. The"Trib
nne" still flourishes, and contains more whole
some truth in one number of that paper, than
can be found in the Cleirfield Republican for a
whole year.
Look out for Compromisers. It has been
- ascertained that men of high position, Senator
Bayard of Delaware, and perhaps Senator
Hunter of Virginia, have been in New York,
secretly trying to enlist the efforts of certain
politicians in favor of some kind of compro
mise that will enure to the benefit of the reb
els. The traitors, perhaps, see that tbey are
destined to be put down. It is tbercforo pol
icy for them to have secret cmissaiies to se
cure, if possible, a cessation of hostilities;
and finally some kind of compromise, that
will save them from the just punishment of
tbeir crimes. It would seem that they were
successful in enlisting some of tbeir old
friends in tbe service; and immediately we
hear of a meeting at New Vork of Northern
editors and politicians, who are in sympathy
with the secessionists. The programme seems
to bo, that they will aid the traitors in their
schemes by raising a general cry in favor of
.compromise and peace, and by doing every
thing possible to embarrass tho Administra
tion in the prosecution of the war. Look out
for these. compromisers. They are that class
.of persons spoken of by Patrick Henry, who
cry "Peace, peace," when there Is no peace ;
and who would lull you with their syren song till
your enemies have bound you hand and foot.
V "We know, not only what tho people of this
community will 'tolerate,' but what their sen
timents and feelings are, and which we en
deavor to reflect as far as possible." Clear'
field Republican.
We presume, you know their powers of "tol
eration" from experience j but, how do you
know "their sentiments and feelings"? If the
editors of tho Republican reflect the "senti
ments and feelings" of this community, may
Heaven forbid that ever the destinies of the
present conflict between freedom and tbe
most despicable anarchy that tbe world ever
witnessed, should bo placed in their hands for
decision.
..,,.
No State Fair this Year. At a meeting
of the Executive Committee of the Pennsylva
nia State Agricultural Society, held at Harris
burg on tbe 11th inst., tbe Committee appoin
ted to make arrangements for holding the next
Annual Fair, reported a resolution declaring
t-bat owing to tbe unhappy and deplorable con
dition of our country, it is inexpedient to bold
a Fair during the year 1861, which, after an
Interchange of views, was adopted.
SCHEMES OF COMFEOMISE.
The Administration will have many friends
in the approaching Congress. If party lines
are to be thought of at all at such a time, the
Republicans will be overwhelmingly in the
majority; but when the existence of the Gov
ernment and the integrity of the national ter
ritory are at stake, there can be but one line
of division between parties, viz : that which
separates the friends from the enemies of the
country. There may bo a few men in each
House whose hearts are not thoroughly in
sympathy with the efforts of the people to
suppress rebellion, and it will be the duty of
the people and of tho Press to watch their
motions. Whoever is not in favor of prose
cuting the war until the traitors are over
thrown whoever , begins to talk about ofler
ing terms of compromise, or of suspending
hostilities until the rebels ground their arms
may be set down as a sympathiser with the
enemy.
When the right of secession was a matter ot
speculation merely, it is but charitable to ad
mit that the friends of the heresy might be
faithful in their allegiance to the country ; but
now that its recognition as a fact comes up
for action, and the honor of the nation is
staked upon its suppression, it is safe to say
that no man who favors it, whether be- be
Northern or Southern, can be a patriot; and
the integrity and fidelity of Congressmen or
others who propose or advocate the right of
States to secede, should at once be suspected.
Of course, no man of honor whose sympa
thies are with the rebels can for a moment
think of swearing to support the Constitution;
and the people will have - little more confi
dence in those who, after taking the official
oath, go to work to defeat tbe measures ot
Government for tbe overthrow of the traitors.
A man cannot serve two masters or two coun
tries, and be who sympathizes with rebellion
cannot be trusted to guard the rampartsot the
Constitution.
We owe, at the present moment, legitimate
ly one hundred of millions of dollars. Four
years ago, tbflre was a surplus of some millions
of dollars in the national treasury. Tbe in
crease of this debt occurred under tbe last
administration, and was made necessary by
events growing out of that administration.
Those events are all connected with the de
fence, advocacy and spread of slavery and
therefore to this institution alone, and those
who encourage its popagandisra, we are in
debted for this increased responsibility. This
war was brought about by those who deemed
that the institution of slavery was in danger.
It was this faith that kindled the fire on the
altars of South Carolina the same faith
spread the flame from State to State, until the
conflagration has become one which threatens
to consume all that we are as a nation. This
one hundred mill ions is a mere Item of small
amount when compared to what slavery has
cost this government. Tho millions which
were spent in driving the Indians from tbe
swamps of Florida so that tbey could .be oc
cupied with slaves. The millions on millions
which it has cost to keep up the post-routes
maintain forts aud arsenals support custom
house officers and fee attorneys and marshals.
The millions more that were swallowed up in
tho war with Mexico, another pretext to ad
vanco and increase the institution and numer
ical strength of slavery, go to swell the fig
ures of those expenses, until the amount be
comes one of unprecedented magnitude. All
this has been done to satisfy slavery. Mill
ions on millions exhausted that would have
relieved free labor life and limb sacrificed
that were dear to communities the national
credit leveled and tho national honor humili
ated. All for slavery all for a mean and lazy
aristocracy, that regard the laboring men of
the north as only the equals of their slaves,
unfit to govern or unfit to battle with in a con
test for government. And yet in the face of
these facts, men talk of compromising. When
the force and strength and the devotion of
the people are annoyed to defend the govern
ment, and settle the questions growing out of
the assumptions of slavery, we are calmly in
vited to compromise. We are impudently
asked to make terras of peace with traitors,
and again welcome them back into the fellow
ship of government, as if they had never vio
lated a law, defied an authority, or sworn an
oath to destroy a nationality from which they
derived the means and tbe implements to car
ry on their rebellion.
Jefferson's Notions of "Coessio.v." In
answer to questions put to him in 1786, be
fore the adoption of the present Constitution,
Jefferson wrote : "It has often been said that
the decisions of Congress are impotent, be
cause tho confederation provides no compul
sory power. But when two or more nations
enter into compact, it is not unusual for them
to say what shall be done to the party who in
fringe it. Decency forbids, and it is as un
necessary as indecent,, because the right ol
compulsion naturally results to the party in
jured by the breach. When any one State in
tho American Union refuses obedience to the
confederation by which they have bound them
selves, tho rest have a natural right to compel
them to obedience. Congress would probably
exercise long patience before they would re
cur to force ; but if the caso ultimately re
quired it, they would use that recurranco.
Should the caso ever arise, they will proba
bly coerce by a naval force, as being more
easy."
A Good-buy Kiss civejjcsder Difficulties.
As the Eighth Ohio Regiment was going
from Cleveland to Camp Dennison, Capt. Buck
ingham supposed the train would stop at Crest
line, and notified his wifo. Unfortunately,
the orders were to pass through Crestline
without stopping. The train, however, slack
up a little, but the rate of speed was still high.
The gallant captain saw bis wife on the plat
form, made a desperate spring, clasped her in
his arms, kissed her quickly, and, under tre
mendous applause from his comrades on
board, sprang back on tho flying train, having
barely time to catch the rear car.
Virginia Tho Virginia Convention has
been passing or reporting some noble and hon
est ordinances. One of these authorities the
organization of a guerilla force, and makes all
their acts legal; another relieves tbe banks
from specie payment ; a third proposed to re
pudiate all the State bonds bold in loyalStates.
AN OPEN CONFESSION.
In the last Clearfield Republican we find the
following surprising acknowledgment :
"If members of Congress had been held to
a more faithful obedience to the will of their
constituents instead of being on the broad
way to utter ruin, our country would now be
enjoyingan unexampled degree of prosperity."
During the last third ot a century the Dem
ocratic party has most of the time had a con
trolling majority of "members of Congress,"
and if they have not been "faithful" to their
constituents, but were rashly pursuing "the
broad way to utter ruin," how did it .happen
that the editors of the Clearfield Republican
permitted them to pursue such a course un
rebuked ? Why did they not "sound" their
Representatives upon "certain measures"
which every intelligent man knows arc the
primary "cause of all our present troubles ?"
Why did they not interrdgate Jeff. Davis,
Toombs, FId, Cobb, Rhett, Keitt, Wigfall,
Breckinridge and other prominent members
of their own party as to the views they enter
tained concerning those "measures ?" Why
did the editors of the Republican manifest such
"fatal indifference" as to what the leaders of
the present rebellion were doing under, and
through the powei of Mr. Buchanan's Admin
istration 1 We do not refer to these facts,
with any intention of rubbing open old sores ;
but the Republican seems so determined to
draw us into controversy, that we cannot do
less than remind its editors of a few sad truths,
which, if they are possessed of ordinary hu
man sensibilities, should make their cheeks
burn with shame. Their persistent attacks
upon Mr. Lincoln's Administration, which
seeks only to uphold the Government and
preserve the Union, are only equalled by such
rank Secession papers as the Baltimore Sun
and Baltimore Exchange, and, wo take it upon
ourselves to say, do not reflect the "senti
ments and feelings" of the loyal "people of
this community."
The True 0eliveuance of the South.
The cry now raised by the Rebel leaders that
the North desires to subjugate the South will
be shown to the people of these States to be
false ; for our troops will carry in their advance
deliverance from the reign of terror now pre
vailing ; will re-open trade, and set free the
imprisoned forces of production and exchange.
The whole superstruction of Rebellion rests
upon lies and misrepresentations, aud the
whole uniniformed Southern mind is frenzied
with apprehensions growing out of these. No
hollow truce or patched up compromise will
be a remedy. The popular Southern mind
has become imbued with a profound contempt
and hatred of Northern men, which can never
be removed, and the people of the two sec
tions made to live together with mutual re
spect, until they have been brought face to
face. We cannot reach them through the
press, and can only do it by actual presence
in the way now proposed.
Secretary Chase is continually applied to
for permission for "coal-oil," "drugs," "ba
con," and commodities of one sort or anoth
er, to pass icto the insurrectionary States. A
uniform course is pursued in reference to all
snch applications. The Secretary, in a letter
to Paducah, Ky., who had requested that cer
tain restrictions upon trade might be removed
stated the unvarying policy of the Department
toward those States, in these words : "It is
the earuest wish of this Department that every
part of the country may enjoy in tho most
ample degree the benefit of the laws, faithful
ly upheld and honestly administered for tbe
protection of every right and interest." "Let
commerce follow the flag." During the ses
sion of the Legislature, the citizens of Padu
cah petitioned for the fortification of the town ,
the Senator from that district supported the
petition, and bodies of men drilled there with
the avowed intention of joining the conspira
tors. If the citizens of Paducah felt aggriev
ed by the action of the Government in cutting
off trade, let them, by opposite manifestations,
demonstrate their "loyalty to the Union and
to the flag of our fathers," and they should at
once come into the enjoyment of all the priv
ileges of loyal citizens. The only distinction
known to the department is that between loy
al and disloyal citizens.
The people of the South have been led to
expect in northern soldiers a horde of needy
adventures, greedy of gain and the gratifica
tion of brutal lusts. Let us show them half a
million of citizens in arms for liberty and or
der. They have been taught to believe that
subjugation and ruin was the aim of North ;
but instead, renewed internal prosperity, so
cial order, and the supremacy of the laws will
attend the advance ot our victorious columns.
A Usion Movement in North Carolina.
Col. C. 11. Foster is announced as an uncon
ditional Uiaion candidate for Congress in the
First Congressional District of North Caroli
na. Having made his appointments, be will
soon take the stump and prosecute a vigorous
canvass. He boldly appeared and defended
the course of the Federal Administration in
strong Union speeches, at large public meet
ings which were got up by disunionists, for
tho express purpose of denouncing Mr. Foster,
and, if possible, driving him out of the State.
At all of these meetings Mr. Foster appeared
in person and met the traitors face to face,
and told them to. their teeth what they might
expect if they continued in this unholy rebel
lion against the Union. Mr. Foster is a man
of iron will and undaunted courage, of bril
liant talent, with a very effective and 3nished
style of oratory. He was among the ablest
supporters of Beckinridge in the last campaign,
and was also the first to take the stump for
the Union at the opening of this great rebel
lion. He says that if a few Federal regiments
were stationed in North Carolina, one in each
congressional district to protect the Union
men, there would be a full delegation of un
conditional Union members elected to Con
gress from that Stato on the first Thursday of
August next, ne says that a brigade of loyal
North Carolinians might be easily raised to
co-operate with the Federal forces in putting
down he treasonable usurpation of Governor
Ellis and others in his State.
The Erie Railroad. Wo learn from tho
Harrisburg Telegraph, that an arrangement has
been effected by which the Pennsylvania Cen
tral Railroad takes a permanent lease of tbe
Erie. She endorses her bonds to tho amount
of tbreo million dollars, which will secure its
completion and also the equipment. The rent
under the lease is a percentage of the receipts.
The arrangement is to be submitted to tho
stockholders of both companies for their rati
fication. The arrangement is considered a
good one for tho interests of both companies,
and the State at large.
Blockading the Port or Charleston. It
has been resolved to blockade Charleston har
bor most effectually, and by the same process
which tba rebels initiated. Vessels loaded
with Btone will be sunk across the entrance of
the port, so as to prevent the ingress or egress
of vessels. '
SUMMARY OF WAE NEWS
June 25. A horrible disaster occurred at
Wyandotte Kansas, yesterday, about ten o'
clock, by the falling in of the walls of build
ings and part of a third, burying all the in
mates, forty persons. The buildings were
four stories high," situated on the levee, and
had been used as the headquarters of the First
Regiment of Kansas volunteers. Yesterday
Captain Haines, with a company of forty men,
entered the building for the purpose of drilling,
preparatory to being received into the United
States servicCjWhen the centre wall of the build
ing sudenly gave way, plunging the whole com
pany beneath the mass of ruins. A number
were instantly killed, and one German nnme
unknown died soon after being liberated.
One man had both legs and arms broken.
Twelve or fifteen others were slightly injured.
Some escaped without a bruise. The loss by
tbe destruction of the building is not known.
The agent of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road arrived at Washington, and reports great
destruction of property ot tho company by
the rebetS. Forty-eight locomotives and a
large number of gondola and coal cars were
surrounded by piles of wood and set on fire.
All the perishable portions pf the property
was consumed, and was damaged perhaps be
yond repair. Tbe large hotel there occupied
by H. B. Carpenter was with much difficulty
saved from tho conflagration. A gentleman
states, also, that he and Master Mechanic Ed
wards were arrested and carried beforo Gen
eral Johnson for trying to stop the destruction
of property. The agent says there are about
500 rebel troops at Martinsburg and in that
vicinity.
Gen. McCIellan is actively engaged in per
fecting bis arrangements at Grafton, so that
his movements will be made expeditiously
when everything is prepared. Prompt and
decisive movements may be expected soon.
The force under Gen. McClellan's control is
amply sufficient to insure a final solution of
our troubles in Western Virginia. The guer
illa system adopted by the enemy will be met
and put down.
June 2G. The gun-boat Monticello made a
reconnoisance yesterday up the Rappahannock
river from Fortress Monroe. About four o'
clock P. M. a party landed in a boat at the
house of A. M. Gesum, an acquaintance of the
pilot, and were introduced to the family.
While conversing with ladies, three compan
ies of rebels rushed down upon the party and
attempted to cut off their retreat to the boat.
Capt Braine at once opened upon tbe rebels
from the Mouticello, with shell and cannister,
killing and wounding, he thinks, a large num
ber. The rebels fled and the house was com
pletely demolished. Surgeon Smith was shot
in the face and hand. Six others were wound
ed ; one mortally. The gunboat Quaker City
also had a short engagement this morning
with a large number of dragoons, while cruis
ing in Lynhaven bay, near Cape Henry.
Commander Carr picked up a man named
Lynch, -a refugee from Norfolk, who repre
sented that the master plumber of the Nor
folk navy yard was ashore and wished to be
taken off. An armed boat sent for tho pur
pose, was fired upon when near the shore,
mortally wounding a seaman named James
Lloyd of Charlestown, Mass. A few 32 pound
shells dispersed the rebels. Lloyd died this af
ternoon. This afternoon a squad of the District of
Columbia volunteers arrested Ellis Iluglfes,
who resides some distance above Georgetown
on the charge of being a spy in the employ
ment of the rebels. On searching his person
there was found a Complete chart, showing
with pecision the portion of tbe Federal for
ces on both side.3 of the river. His manu
scripts were voluminous, and many of them
iu hieroglypics. He was committed to prison
for examination.
A Maryland secessionist, direct from Win
chester yesterday morning, reports that the
main body of the rebel army lately at Harper's
Ferry, to the number of about 12,000, are
stationed at the fair ground near the city,
and the remainder stationed at Bunker Hill,
Romney and at points near Charleston. At
Romney a guerrilla regiment, commanded by
Col. M'Donald, is also stationed.
A flag of truce arrived from Norfolk with
fifty refugees. They represent a large num
ber of troops at Norfolk, and say tbat the reb
els at Sewert's Point have a profound con
tempt for Sawyer's gun. They also say that
Torktown is being made a stronghold.
Lieut. Crosby, with 50 men in propellor
Fanny, made a reconnoisance this morning up
Back river, from Fortress Monroe, and dis
persed several parties of rebels on the shore.
June 27. The police Commissioner, of
Baltimore, after a consultation, issued orders
to the police ofticers to take off their insignia
of office badges, caps, buttons, etc., and vir
tually disbanded them. The board issued a
protest, which is signed by the Mayor, as one
of the board. Colonel Kenley has been active
ly engaged in swearing in a new police force.
He has appointed captains in all the districts.
It was his desire to retain the old police as
far as possible, but the action of the commis
sioners thwarted that intent. The public
mind is in quite a feverish state here and there
is much subdued excitement, but no demon
stration has been or is likely to be made.
Considerable crowds surround the police sta
tions, anxious to bear of expected develop
ments under the new police regime. A search
has been progressing in the Marshal's office.
A large quantity of arms and ammunition
were found secreted in a cellar' in the walls
and beneath the floors. A case of valuable
pistols and over 250 rifles, twenty-five of which
are of the minnie pattern, were among the
discoveries. The latter are supposed to have
belonged to the Massachusetts soldiers who
were disarmed by the mob on tbe 19th of A
pril. An immense quantity of percussion
caps, estimated at 1,000,000, were also found,
as well as 3,100 ball cartridges, 6000 minnie
cartridges, and various other warlike articles,
including balls for the steam gun. The
search is still progressing. It is supposed
that a considerable quantity of arms will be
found at tbe various station houses. Gen.
Banks issued an order directed to Col. Kenly,
in reply to the protest of the Police Commis
sioners, in which he says: "Yon will take
special notice that by my proclamation of this
day neither the law nor the officers appointed
to execute the law are effected in any manner
whatever, except as it operates upon tbe mem
bers of the Board ot Commissioners and the
Chief of Police. Every officer and man with
tbe exception of those persons named will be
continued in the service and in the other po
sitions they now occupy, unless they shall re
fuse. In snch cases the Provest Marshal is to
select others to fill their places." Among
the articles found at Marshal Kane's office,
was a twelve pound cannon ball, bearing the
inscription : "From Fort Sumpter to Mar
shal Kane."
June 28. Capt, Ward, of the Freeborn,
yesterday obtained from. Capt. Rawar of the
Pawnee a reinforcement of about twenty men,
united.with others from his own vessel, com
prising between thirty and forty in all, started
in several cutters for Mathias Point, taking
with them about 250 bags, which were filled
with sand on shore, and with which earth
works were soon erected, the proceedings be
ing under the direction of Lt. Chaplin. While
in the act of returning to the Freoborn, for the
purpose, it is stated, of obtaining cannon for
tbe battery, a force of Confederates, variously
estimated at from 800 to 1200, suddenly emer
ged from the thick woods in which they had
been concealed, and poureu uwvj v.
into the Federal party, who made a hasty re
treat, several of the men by swimming, to tne
Freeborn. Capt. Ward, on the Freeborn,
protected his men as far as possible with his
guns, and fired twelve or fifteen shot among
the rebels, with what effect it could not be
ascertained. While in the act ot firing a gun
after, it is said, tbe gunner had been wounded,
Capt. Ward was struck in the breast by a bul
let, and in the course of an hour thereafter
died from internal hemorrhage.
A dispatch from Cumberland, Md., dated
June 27, gives the particulars of a fight be
tween 13 of Col. Wallace's men and 41 moun
ted rebels near Frankfort on the road to Rom
ney. Wallace's men bad reconnoitered Frank
fort and were returning, when they overtook
the rebels, charged on them, routing and dri
ving them back,. killing 8 and securing 17
horses. The rebels were then reinforced to
75 and attacked Wallace's men, who had to
abandon their horses,and cross to a small island
at the mouth of Patterson's creek, from which
they were finally driven, scattering, each man
for himself, and they all reached camp. Cor
poral Hayes was badly wounded, andJ.C.
Holdenbrook was killed. The rebels lost 23
killed; two of them officers.
Hon. John M. Botts. The following ex
tracts are from a letter writen by Mr. Botts to
the editors of the New York Tribuue, dated
Washington city, June 24, 1861, which he o
pens by "saying : "Toil will be surprised to
hear from me, and especially from this place.
It was with great danger 1 reached here, and
only under cover of a disguise." That so dis
tinguished a citizen of Virgiuia could only
thus reach the capital of bis country, pains
even more than it surprises us. The fact is
one of those striking comments upon the char
acter of the Southern insurrection which do
not need to be enlarged upon.
But the context of Mr. Botts's letter is even
more surprising than the circumstances under
which it is written. He is in Washington as
a member of Congress, and is there we pre
sume, to take his seat in the House on the 4th
ol July next. This important fact has been
suppressed by the Richmond papers, but we
have the authority of Mr. Botts himself for the
statement in these precise teims : "I announc
ed myself as a caudidate for the Richmond
District, and received 173 votes, wl.ich, there
being no opposition, elects me."
But the letter brings us other and even more
important intelligence. We learn from it that
the Southern insurrection of white men is al
ready at the last gasp, while insurrections of
Southern black mn threaten the destruction
of slavery. And these facts wo have not only
on the testimony of John Minor Botts, who
might be legarded as a partial witness, but on
the authority of Gen. Beauregardj himself,
who is certainly more competent to speak up
on the subject than any other man in the coun
try. Beauregard, says Mr. Butts, has sent a
circular South, from which the following is a
quotation : "If the ' Cotton States do not raise
and equip One Hundred Thousand Men in six
weeks, we are ruined." So much lor tbe white
insuircction. On the black, he says : "Our
troops in this State (Virginia) to a great ex
tent, are busy in suppressing insurrections a
mong the blacks. They are breaking out in
every direction." But(this has a significance
to us," at the North, which puts a new face up
on this question. Gen. Beauregard's circular
adds : "But for this your desire to see Washing
ton in ruins would long since hare beeu gratified."
There is another bit of news in Mr. Botts's
letter more interesting than important. We
have more confidence in "Extra Billy". Smith's
disposition than his power to do mischief.
He. says Mr. Botts, "is now in this city"
Washington. The object of his visit is to cor
respond with Maryland traitors. The Legis
lature of that State, Mr. Botts assures fis, has
been advised by Jeff. Davis to continue in ses
sion, adjourning only for short intervals.
"Smith," he adds, "was in the War Depart
ment to-day disguised as a beggar." It is
proper to add that we have the permission of
Mr. Botts to give to the public, this morning,
the principal and most interesting facts con
tained in his letter. Our readers, no less than
ourselves, will bo greatly indebted to him for
this permission.
