threatened by a force very much superior
to his own, and he had permission from

that road, which would, of course, have

Mediation.
The elaborate dispatches just laid before
the -public through the medium, of the
newspapers, give a complete history of our
diplomatic relations with France on the
question'of mediation. There is no res
ervation or secrecy. The country knows
4U much as is knowu at the Cabinet of
Washington or the Court of St. James.
And now that the truth is before us we
can see really what these stories of uiedia-
tion .contain. Those who dreaded -war
and diplomatic complications, says ; the
iVtw, will see that (the correspondence
between the two nations has been marked
with courtesy, candor and kindness". 'France
..Mcems to have been sincere in her desire
to see this war cud.' She had many inter-
csta to consult, and the American war is a
source of suffering She 0y desire to
see the fall of this Republic, but she cer
' tainly desires cotton and tobacco.. She
; feels that her commerce and agriculture
: are suffering and she feels . the interest
.of a common humanity In the cessation of
-.'the war and the prevalence of peace. We
are bound to give France the credit of
these kind intentions, more particularly as
it enabled the Administration to give the
world a noble and manly record. .While
we maintained our honor, it cannot be
paid that sre maintained it in a petulant
or angry spirit. -We met France with the
' frankness that so well becomes a great
people, proud in the midst of suffering and
inflexible Tinto the end. -
We say to France and we say Xo the
' world, that in this war we have no other
purpose than to crush the rebclliou.
When we accomplish this, the. war is over.
If we fail to do this, ; by . defeat, internal
compromise or external "'mediation, we
' ' merely proclaim a truce, aud enter upon
'I a t generation of vexation?, endless and
.", bloody wars. We admit ourselves to be
a conquered aud an inferior race, aud the
future would be a war of petty States,
r factions, or ' interest', of traditions aud
hatreds, of rivalries as bitter as those that
. existed between Lancaster aud York, and
. which uow exist between Bonaparte -and
! Bourbon. It is to escape from a future
like this that we persist in end'ng this
war as it may seem best to do. This is
;,. the policy to eloquently aud elaborately
discussed by the Secretary of State to Mr.
,l)ayton, and when he shows. to that 31in-
itWr and through him to the Minister of
France, that ibis is not the war of twe
ualious or peoples, 'but tho war of a lie-j
' publio-against an insurrection, pnd that the !
' jiuropeau Powers have failed to do us j
justice in refusing to admit this doctrine,
be ends the argument and completely
, answers tho Emperor.-
We are hatitfied to stand by the Secre
tary of State on this question. He cceu-
:p:efc high and patriotic ground the only j
- prouud that an American statesman can j
-' occupy with honor..; We. honor him for
hi patriotism aui boldners, and the world
j will respect the grace, the beauty, and
the polished eloquence with which h
conducted aud closed the celebrated con
troversy. mi
A Catholic llhhup on Slavery.
There can be no doubt that the Catholic
Church is opposed to SIavy. Her
Couucils aud Popes have often declared
against the whole institution, aud at least
one of the abominations connected with it
the alavetrade has been absolutely for
biddeu. In our own war against the
extension and perpetuation of Slavery, we
have not heard the voices of the American
Catholic Bishops no often as, from the
well-known declarations of Couucils and
Popes, might have been expected ; and in
Europe many prominent organs of the
Catholic Church, which dislike democratic
institutions and favor absolute monarchies,
have often avowi d their sympathy - with
the .Rebellion, whose leaders they justly
regard as less imbued with the democratic
principles than the statesmen of the Free
North. Yet there are still Bishops who
think this a fit ocasion to renew the tesii-
jnony ol tneir unurcn on oiavery.
1 romiuent among tnem is lSisnop Hilpan
loup of Orleans, in France, one of - the
most distinguished Catholic prelates now
living. Bishop Dupauloup ranks among
tho first scholars ot France, and was,
therefore, a few years since, elected a
member of the French Academy. : EI ia
great influence among the Bishops of the
Catholic world became apparent at the
great Council of Bishops, held at Rome,
in May, 18C2, at which he aud Cardinal
Wiseman were the. acknowledged leaders.
Bishop Dupauloup has lately addressed
a circular to the parish priests of his
diocese for the prurpose of exhorting them
to take up in their churches a collection
in favor of the operatives suffering from
the cotton famine. - Tl whole document,
which abouuds in uoVit sentiments aud
toucbiug appeals iu. favor of the poor
starving workmen, is published by the
Journal des LfeLats, fioui which we trans
late those passages which refer to the war
and Slavery in this country.
"You kuow," says the Bishop, "my
dearly beloved brethren, that already for
a long time deplorable tidings have reach
ed us from the United States of America.
The war ravages these beautiful countries,
a war furious, like all civil wars, and the
end of which the tenacious pride of the
Americau character does not yet permit
us to foresee. Without-doubt, there are
some consoling (fe$s mixed'with these sad
accounts. 1 speak of the hope, founded
upon the most solemn acts, of seeing at
length the aboHlhment, by peaceable and
prudent means, of the disgraceful scourge
of Slavery.
"Who could have thought, a few years
ago, that this youug American Republic,
so beautiful, so strong, and apparently so
united, was on the eve of such great dis
asters ? Buc it is thus with human affairs,
those which appear to be the bent cstablish'd
are the least enduring ; the nations which
are believed to be strongest rest some
times upon an abyss, and in an evil hour,
an unforeseen shock, a breeze, the least
accident, suiSces to overthrow the whole."
-In another place the Bishop asks:
'"Why, in this land ot Washington, have
they committed the crime of introducing
in violation of every Divine law. or senti
ment ot justice, Negro Slavery V' and in
answering the question, by a reference to
the. cotton spinners, to whom slave labor
furnishes their means of subsistence, he
speaks of the mysterious mixture of
suffering and prosperity, of faults and
expiations, of the wondrous interweaving
of human destinjes, to 'all appearance so
diverse, but at the bottom flowing in the
same current, and thus by the experience
of life teaching that article of faith
which declares that all men are-brethren.
If the American Churches in the South
Catholic and Protestant had not ceased
to give their testimony agaiust "the dis
graceful scourge of Slavery," aud to de
nounce it as a "violation of every Divine
law or sentiment of justice," they might
have doue much to avert this war, from
which now so many millions both in
America aud Europe are suffering;
. .
toTTbe Don. & Sent, says that the
future success of that vile sheet, the Phil
adelphia Evening Journal, "as a Demo
cratic orgau," will greatly depend upon
Mr. Albert D- Boileau's disconnection
therewith as editor.
Inasmuch as Mr. B. has given his sa
cred pledge to abstain from all disloyal
practices hereafter, and as. the Evcniny
Journal lays claim to theitle of "Demo
cratic organ," we presume the D. & S. is
ri:ht on this point. "
Which is not saying very much for the
"Democracy," to be sure !

JHessug of tlic Governor.
On Thursday last Gov. Curtin sent a
message to the Legislature of this State,
with reference to arbitrary arrests, conten
ding that Congress alone has the power to
suspend the writ of habeas corpus, and
recommending the passage of resolutions
requesting Congress to take such action
as may bring the guilty to puuishment
and release the innocent. It is as follows :
Executive C'hajibeb,
ITabrisbuuo, Feb. 12, 1863.
To the Senate and Uvuie p Representative of
the Commomceulth of Pennsylvania :
Gentlemen : I desire to call your at
tention to a subject of moment. When
the present infamous and Gof-condemucd
rebclliou broke out, Congress was not in
session, and the occurrence of such a 3tate
of thing3 not having been foreseen in
former times, no adequate legislation had
been had to meet it. At the same time
the life of the country being at stake it
appeared necessary that some means should
be taken to control the small band of trai
tors in the loyal States, so as to prevent
them from machinations which might be
injurious, if not fatal, to the national
cause. Under these circumstances, the
General Government resorted to the sys
tem of military arrests of dangerous per
sons, aud having thus commenced acting
under it, have continued (at long intervals)
to pursue it. ' The Government of the
United Scates acts directly on individuals,
and the,State Executive has no authority
or means to interfere with arrests of citi
zens of theUnited States, luujk under the
authority 'of that Government. Everv
! citizen of Pennsylvania is also a citizen ot'
me uiuiieu oiates, anu owes allegiance to
them, as well as (subject to the provisions
of the Constitution of the United States)
he owes it to Pennsylvania. -If he be
unlawfully deprived of his liberty, his
oniy rearess is to De naa at tne nauds ot
j--- j ' i
ent, it is more than ever necessary to pre
serve regularity in official action. Great
efforts have been, aud are, perhaps, sf ill
being made, by persons blinded or ili-dis
posed, to throw us into a state of revolu
tion ; that is to say, to create anarchy aud
conf usion, and ultimately to bring about
the destruction of life and property among
us. Any irregular, much more illega!,
inteiference by your executive, with mat
ters which, by the Constitution, are not
eutrusted to his cognizance, and especially
anyuch interference with the action of
the executive of the United States or with
the functions of the judiciary, would be,
in the existing crisis, emph atieally danger
ous, it would have a direct revolutionary
tendency in fact it would be to commence
a revolution. . '
'The courts of justice arc open, and no
doubt, all personal wrong can be properly
redressed in due course of law.
I do not kuow how many arrests of the
kind hereinbefore referred to have been
made in Pennsylvania, as I have at no
time beeu privy to the making of them,
but I believe they have been few. I was
under the impression that there would be
no necessit3r lor more of them, otherwise
I might have refeired to them in my an
nual message; but recent, events having
shown that this impression was erroneous,
I deem, it my duty now -to invite your
attention to the subject.
The content in which we are engaged is
one for the preservation of our own liber
ty and welfare The traitors at the South
hate the great'body of our people, who are
loyal and hate and Hfterly despise the
few who are ready for submission. Uuless
the rebellion .be effectually suppressed we
must lose our pride of country, the larger
poition of our territory, and the elements
not only of greatness, buD of prosperity,
aud even of security to life, liberty and
property. Notwithstanding all this, it ie,
I fear, an undoubted truth that a few
wretches among us, falso to all our free
and loyal traditions; false to the memory
of their fathers, and to the rights of their
t TT
treason, m the .very niaefne-ss of mischief
are actively plotting to betray us, to poison
and mislead the minds of our people, by
treacherous misrepresentations, aud to so
! aid and comfort the rebels that our fate
may be either to abandon the free North,
and become hanjrers-on of a Government
founded in treachery, fraud and insane
ambition, or, at best, to dissolve the Union
under which we have prospered, and to
break this fair and glorious couutry into
fragments, which will be curbed by per
petual discords at home, and by the con
tempt aud ill-usage or loreign uatious,
from which we shall then be too weak to !
vindicate ourselves.
That such offences ehould be duly pun
ished, no good citizen can doubt; and that
proper legislation by Congress is required
for that purpose, can be as Uttledoubted.
Whether such legislation should include
a suspeusion of the writ of habeas corpus
in'auy and whit parts of the country, is a
question which belongs exclusively "to the
legislative authorities of the United States
who, under the Constitution, have the
right to determine it. lhat great writ
ought not to be suspended, unless to the
wisdom of Congress the present necessity
shall appear to be urgent.
Therefore, I recommend the passage of
a joiut resolution, earnestly requesting
that Congress shall forthwith pass laws
defining and punishing offences of the
class above refet red to, and providing for
the fair aud speedy trial by an impartial
jury, of persons charged with such offen
ces in the loyal and undisturbed State, po
that the guilty may justly suffer, and the ;
innocent be relieved. i

stopping short of the technical offence of ! the United States furnishes the coustitu-
Secretary Seward's Answer to
France's Offer ofltledlation.
Washington, Feb. 13. The following
able letter concludes the correspondence
between Secretary Seward and our French
Minister, regarding the proposition of
France. Mr. Seward, in a letter to Mr.
Dayton, dated Feb. 6th, 1863,.says :
"This government, if require), does not
hesitate to submit its achievements tb the
test of comparison, and it maintains that
in uo part of tho world and in no times,
ancient or modern,' had a uation when
rendered all unready for combat by the
enjoyment of eighty yeare of almost un
broken peace, so quickly awakened at the
alarm of sedition, put forth energies so
vigorous, and achieved success so signal
and effective as those which have marked
the progress of the contest on the part of
the Union. M. Drouyn De L'Huys, I
fear,'has taken other light than the cor
rsspondence of this government for his
guidance in ascertaining its temper and
firmness. He has probably read of divis
ions of sentiment among those who hold
themselves as organs of public opinion here
and has given to them an undue influence.
. "What M. Drouyn DeL'Hnys suggests
-is, that this -Government , shall appoint
commissioners to meet on neutral ground
commissioners of the insurgents. He
supposes that, in the conferences to be
held, reciprocal complaints could be dis
cussed, and in place of. accusations which
the North and South now mutually cast
upon each other, the conference would be
engaged with the discussion of interests
which divide them. If it weib possible
fur the Government of the United States
to compromise the national authority so
far as to enter into such debates, it is not
easy to perceive what good reu!ts could
be obtained by them. The commissioners
must agree "iu recommending zither that
the Union shall stand or it shall volunta-
rijy be dissolved, or else they must leave
vital ouesuous uuseiueu to aoiue at last
the fortunes of war. The Government
ha not shut out the knowledge of the
present temper any more than of the past
purposes of theiiiaurgeuts. There is not
the least grjiiinl to suppose that the con
trolling actors would be persuaded at this
moment, by any arguments which the
National commissioners could, offer, to
forego the ambition that- impelled them to
the disloyal position they now occupy.
Any commissioners who should be appoin
ted by those actors, or through their iuflu
t nee, must cuter the conferences imbued
with a spirit and pledged to the personal
fortunes of the insurgent chief, and the
loyal people mi the insurrectionary States
would be unheard, and any offer of peace
by this Government on the couditiou of
the maintenance of the Union ncccs;arily
rejeeted. j
"On the other hand, this Government
has not the least thought of relinquishing
the trust which has been confided to it by
the nation, under the most solemn of all
political sanctions, and if it had any such
thought, it would have still abundant
reason to know that peace procuredat the
cost of dissolution-would be immediately,
universally and iudignantly rejected by
the American people.
"It is a great mistake that European
statesmen make, if they suppose this peo
ple demoralized- M. Drouyn De L'Huys
draws to .his aid the conferences which
took- place . between the Colonies, and
Great Britain in our revolutionary war.
He will allow mc to answer that action in
the crisis of a nation must accord with its
necessities, and therefore can be seldom
compared to precedents. Great Britain,
wheu entering on that negotiation, had
manifestly come to entertain doubts of her
success, and it is certain that the couucils
of the Colonies could not fail to take new
courage, if not gain-other advantages,
when the parent'State compromiaed so far
as to treat of peace on terms of conceding
their Independence. :
" 'Tis true, indeed, that peace. mu?t
come at some day, ind that conferences
tioual form for debates between alienated
parties. Senators and - Representatives
from the loyal portion of the people are
there already-, fully empowered to confer,
and seats, also, vacant and inviting Sena
tors and Representatives fram the discon
tented party, who ma be constitutionally
sent there from States iuvolved in insur
rection. Moreover, the conferences which
can thus be held in Congress, have this
great advantage over any that could be
organize'd upon the plan of De. L'Huys,
viz : That the Congress, it it were thought
wise, "could call a National Convention to
adopt his recommendations, and give them
: the solemnity aud binding force of organic
; law. Such conferences between alienated
parties may be said to have begun. Ma
ryland, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee
and Missouii. States which wero claimed
by the insurgents, are already represented
in Cougress, aud submitting with perfect
freedom and in proper spirit their advice
upon the best course to bring about a firm,
lasting and honorable pence. Representa
tives have aLo been sent from louisiana,
and others understood to be coming from
Arkansas. '1 here is a prepondering argu
ment iu favor of a congressional form of
conference over that suggested bv M.
Drouyn De L'Huys, viz: That by which
an accession to the latter would bring the
Government into concurrence with the
insurgents in disregarding and setting
aside an important part of the Constitution
of the United States and so would be of
pernicious example. The Congressional
conference, on the contrary, preserves and
gives strengtn to mat sacred instrument
which rnut continue through lnture e3

McarBKESBOKo, Tean., Feb. 3, 1863.
To the Honorable the General Assembly of the
State of Ohio i
The resolution of thanks passed by your-
honorable body ot the Army of the Cum
berland, ita Commanding General aud
his staff, has been duly received and pub
lished to the troopa of this command.
On behalf of all I return you heartfelt
thanks.
This is indeed a war for the Coustitu
tiou and the laws nay, for National
existence against those who have des
pised our honest friendship, deceived our
just hopes, and driven us to defend our
country and our homes. By foul aud
willful slanders on our motives and inten
tions, persistingly repeated, they have
arrayed against us our own fellow-ens,
bound to ua by the triple ties ofMrusan
guinity, geographical position and com
mercial interest.
Let no man among us be base enough
to forget-this, or fool enough to trust an
oligarchy of traitors to their friends, to
civil liberty and human freedom. Vol
untary exiles from home and friends, for
the defence and safety of all, we long for
the time when gentle peace shall again
spread her wings over our land ; but we
know no such blessing is possible while
the unjust and arbitrary power of .the
Rebel leaders caofronts and threatens
us.
'Crafty as the fox, cruel as the tiger,
they cried, "no coercion," while preparing
to strike us Bullylike, they proposed to
fight us because they said they could whip
five to one jlaud now, when driven back,
they whine out, "no invasion"; and prom
ise us of jhe West permission to navigate
the Mississippi, if we will be "good boys,'
aud do as they bid us.
Wherever they have the power, they
drive before them iuto their ranks the
Southern people, and they would also drive
us. Trust theiu not ; were they able,"
they would invade and destroy us without
mercy. Absolutely assured of those things
I am amazed that any one could think of
"peace on any terms."
He who entertains the sentiment is fit
only to be a slave ; he who utters it at
this time is moreover a traitor to his coun
try, who deserves the scorn and con
tempt of all honorable men. Wheu the
power of the unscrupulous Rebel leaders is
removed, and the people are free to con
sider and act for their own interests, which
are common with ours under this Govern
ment, there will be ncgreat difficulty in
fraternization. Betwecu our tastes and
social life there are fewer differences than
between those of the people of the North
ern and Southern provinces of England or
Ireland.
Hoping the time may speedily come
wheu the power of the perfidious and
cruel tyrant of this Rebellion, having been
overthrown, a peace may be laid on the
broad foundations of Nntioual Unity and
Equal Justice to all, under the Constitution
and the Laws; I remaiu, your fellow-citi-
zen,
S. ROSECRAKS.Major-Gentral.
fcayThe canal at Vicksburg is still
represented as a f i:!ure. Before the com
pletion of the canal last summer, the
MississippLhad fallen too low to have any
effect iu washing out the cut-off, and the
people were advised that the first flood
would perform the work thoroughly.
Since the second investment of Vicksburg
the'stage of water in the river has been
rising steadily, yet thecut-off still obsti
uately refuses to be "washed out." The
river has now reached such a flood heisht
as to threaten the security of the troops
encamped upon the bend, and the-prayr
of correspondents is that it may rise no
higher. It is positively asserted that the
current has had uo effect upon the ditch,
but a statement appeared iu a Western
paper that a small light draft boat has
pas.et5 through it, to t lie treat dissatisfac
tion of the rebels upon the eastern bank.
If this be. true, the river must have
widened the ditch to a considerable extent,
as its original dimensions would'not have
permitted the passage of a barge. With
the immense force uow investing the city,
a cut-off .large enough to float -a gunboat
through might have been shoveled out in
two or three week, .without waiting
doubtfully for the action of tho river in
enlarging the ditch. . .
6- A newspaper sheet known as The
Inquirer, has, for some time, given much
offense to the loyal citizens of Leaveu worth
by its treasonable course, and threats were
made of destroying the materials with
which it was punted. Tho proprietor
took tlje precaution K arm a number of
his friends and station them about the
office, who, without provocation, fired upon
a citizen who had exerted himself to allav
the excitement. A large number of shots
were fired, and other innocent citizens as
well as the one aimed at, narrowly escaped
being hit. The uext day a crowd assem
bled, w hen Jeniison arrived, and mounting
a box, he exclaimed ; "Yesterday, this
establishment was a printing office, and I
proposed to protect it; this mornins, it is
SLi't-Mfort, aud 1 propose to gut it.'r With
this, the crowd rushed iu and utterly de
molished everything the establishment
contained, and then burnt the fragmeuts.
