We bave received from W. P. AIcKelvey a handsome volume entitled as above, writ ten by George Junkia, D. 1>., L. L. D, fntber-in law of Stonewall Jackson. it is "an examination of tbe false as sumptions, a repudiation of the sophistical reasonings which brought oil this 'civil war." Tbe book is spoken ot as a remark ably able work. Tbe high character of its author, and hiB relation to one of the most conspicuous actors on the side of Secession in this war, give his opinions a currency and recommendation far beyond tbe aver* age of such publications. McKelvey has the work on sale. A Fiendish Act. Ono can scarcely imagine a more infer nal act than that attempted early yester day morning in the firing of tbe building j ou Main street belonging to Thomas iiornbrook, Collector of tbe l'ort here.? The incendiary to gratify bis malice dared to risk not ouly tbe property but also the lives of other persons. Had bis designs succeeded it is difficult to estimate the ex tent of tbe destruction that would have eosued. Mr. Uornbrook was absent at the time from the city and no doubt the fact was well known to the miscreant. No terms of denunciation can do justice to the act. There gis ^something so inettably fiend ish and (alien in it that it rnak^s one shud der to reflect that life and property are so insecurely at the mercy of such persons. :? . ?*??,?? The Election In ICeiitucl&y. The copperhead papers talk very queer- | !y about tbe late election in Kentucky. At first they oould not find words severe | enough to censure tbe declaration of mnr tial law in tbe Slate by Geu. Burbside, in order to insure a fair election. Now they I have concluded that the state officers and | members of Congress, elected ou tbe Un ion ticket, are just the men tbey wanted chosen, and claim the result as a victory against tbe administration, an 1 in. their favor. Why tbeu.should they blame Gen. liurnside, who, if bebad influenced the elec tion in aay way, would have thrown his influence in favor of these very'men ??I Gea. Burosjde did tuft, however, influence the election in either direction, by the de claration of martial law. lie merely pro vided for a fair eleotiou, and a true ex pression of the 8entiment'of tho loyal people of the State, and the result has proved just as we'expected if the people were allowed to vote according to theit own convictions; and that tbe democrats I are pleased, shows that they possess more patriotism than tbey have shown at any recent southern election. But it makes tbe genuineness of their joy look rather suspicious?the fact that before the elec tion, they all, to acopperhead, favored the other and disloyal ticket. The fact is tbe men just elected on the Union ticket in Kentucky call themselves Democrats, and'no one has" ever claimed that tbey are Republicans. But this is claimed?and all the sophistries of the Copperheads cannot make it otherwise thai tbey are loyal men and will uphold ? the Government in the vigorous and thor ough prosecution of the war, and in the use of every means to put down.tbi*.rebel lion. They differ from the Government on many points of policy, and bave the man liness to say su; but at the same time pledging themselves to sink these differ ences in the one great question of finishing up tbe war, and with it tbe rebellion. Mr. Bramlette, the Governor, elect, in bis speeches beforo^he.electioo, frankly that he did not agree witlt the geaerul Ad ministration in eve^yth.ing^-^^-jgaio *nd again declared that he was in favor of ?tandiog by tbe Government io tbe-war, and explicitly stated that be was in favor of the employment of negro >oldiers. Tbis i6 tbe platform also on wbicb a part at least of the members of Congress were elected. If tbe Copperheads are pleased ovrr the ele?tidi?of such niWi;- %re aerrty liuve no objection. We are rather glad that tbe election has-turned oat so that people and parties nre.^isflad ali rotuid. The Reaction in (forth Carolina. The Raleigh Stqqdard of a late date copies an articlc tfom tbe Raleigh Progrets., expressing Tear tbat uoless the war is soon stopped slavery will be obliterated, and makfs these significant comments among ftthers: - '' ' - " We sgree with our cotemporary in much of tbe above. Bat we have no idea that peace can be obtained upon our oqrn terms. Tbe most powerful nations seldom succeed in doing tbat - what the great mass of our people desire is.a cessation of hostilities and negotiations. If they conld reach tbat point they would feel {that the conflict of arms would not be renewed, and tbat some settlement would be effected which would leave them in the future in the enjoyment of' liberty and happiness.? One side or tbe other most conquer. Will five millions of whiteB conquer twenty millions of the same race? Will they conquer a peace ca tbe very Boil of these twenty millions? Not in any eveut, if these twenty millions possess ordinary manhood and will figbt. They fought at Sharpsburg and Gettysburg, and they worsted us at the latter place. Northern troops are not cowards?they fight nearly as well as southern troop.H- We cannot achieve sigual victories over them on tbeir own soil. What tben? If the worst is destined to overtake ua? would it not be wise and prudent to take less than the worst, provided we conld do so compatibly with honor ? "It is timbto consult reason and com mon sense, and to discard passion. Tbat peace - cannot lie obtained by fighting merely, is now apparent to all. In tbe language of a highly intelligent friend, who writes as from a county bordering on tbe Squth Carolina line, tbe people are tired of this awful war. It must eod at wme time, and there mast be a starling point to an end. Let our next congres sional elections turn on the propositions, bat congress shall appoint commissioners .0 meei others on tbe part of Linooln, to nake an honest effort to stay tbe effusion if blood, by an honorable adjustment.? >Ve spoke just now of - the worst befalling mr people as tbe result of this war. Wbt\; b the worst? It wonld be tbe condition >f provincial dependeaee on the federal ;overnment, each state being ruled by a ailitary governor, as Tennessee .is, and he emancipation of our slaves in our tiidst. That would be tbe worst. If tbe rar continues is it not likely that this will isppen ? Judging the future by the past, and we have no otber means of judging,) re fear it wiU." Vnlon Sentiments at the South. From the Boston Traveller. We have some information, brought by eturned prisoners who have just reached bis city .from Richmond, of an important haracter. The news of terrible reverses a tbe rebel commanders which had reach d that capital durinjr tbe month of July, nd which of course eould not be kept from be army, tben on its retreat from tbe fatal leld of Gettysburg, has had 'a startling ffect. Of'this our readers can.judge by evening the case, supposing tbat our New Ingland; soldiers in tbe Army of the Poto lac bad received intelligence tbat many nportaot cities at home had been captured y the enemy, who were overrunning tbe ingth atid breadth of tbe land with tbe itentioo of taking possession thereof. The southern soldier has fought bravely ad undergone untold privations, but he egins at. last to perceive that all hlg ef irts aro vain, ibn federal government be lg too powerful to be resiBtsd. We are I iformed tbat the demoralization of tbe sbel army, which began at Gettysburg, I as steadily continued up to the present iine; tl|at the mountains are full of du erters, while thousands are attempting to joke their way South, until at last tbe liny of General Lee has been so greatly educed as to make tbe leaders tearful of a ;eneral break-up. The reinforcements ent to Charleston are made up ol brigades be least likely to desert, and yet it is itatcd tliat many sncceed in escaping It is also reported in Richmond that a >'juncil of tbe leaders of tbe rebellion was ,0 be held there at once to consult upon Lhe course to be pursued in tbe present crisis of affairs, as itia evident tbat such a stroko'as tbe capture of Charleston would | be attended with the most deplorable re- I suits. The story thaA the slaveholders, as a last resort, would arm their slaves, is altogether false. The planters bad much rather submit than to put themselves into power of their black servants, who, once armed, might exact a fearful reparation lor the wrosg arid injuries whioh they hare received. It is tbe opinion of returned prisoners from the rebel capital, from con versations bad with rebel officer* and sol diers, tbht a very large majority of the confederate army in Virginia is in favor of closing up the wnr by submission to tbe federal government. Our officers and men, tbongh kindly treated, suffer from proper food while in tho bands of the rebels, though perhaps in not much greater de greo than do the rebels themselves. The scarcity of medical supplies is tbe hardest misfortune, and in consequence a large proportion of their worinded perish mis erably. It is the belief of our informant that tbe ! new rebel iron-clads built in that city are not in any way formidable. The machin ery is o{ the rudest character, and is likely to give way at any moment. Richmond is strongly defended by earthworks and heavy guns, bat probably would not be able to withstand a regular seige by a force vof 100,000 men, with proper applianaeS to reduce the place. The ar my of General Rosecrans will soon cut off its connection with tbe Soathwest by taking possession of the great railway lioes leading to tbat region. In fact, if Rich mond shonld be able to hold out, it will not be long before it will be completely isolated from the otber sections of tbe rebel confederacy. ~ - The following incidents, related to us by an eye witness, give nnmistakable evi dence of the feeliug in the rebel army: A wounded soldier belonging to a federal brig ade at Gettysburg, wbicb was retreating before a superior rebel force, as he passed to the rear saw a rebel detachment of two hundred mtn suddenly separate themselves from the pursuing force, rush in and join the federal army.""-Confederate soldiers for several days after tbe battle were con tinually coming in. Cringing with them as peace offerings wounded federal soldiers: others made stretchers * and brought in wounded federal officers, and remained with our army. Men who bad passed over the field report conversations with woun ded Tebels, nearly all ofHrhom asserted that they ardently desired the return of peace. j,7 .: Hetther Soared nor Hurt. _ During the recent ? political canvass in Kentucky, STr.

I Private and.Confldantlal.J Wheatland, 16fh March, 1850. Mv D?ab Sia: I was in town this after noon, and received your letter there, I gave it a hasty answer, proovked thereto by the conduct of Cameron. So far from having in any degree recoil ed from the Missouri Compromise, 1 have prepared a letter to sustain it, written with all the little ability of whioh I am master. You may ask, why has irnot been publish ed? The answer is very easy. From a careful examination of the proceedings in Congress, it is clear that non-intervention is all that will be required by the South. Webster's speech Is to be the baseot tue compromise?it is lauded to the echo by distinguished Southern men?and what is it? Non-intervention, and non-interven tion simply because tbo Wilmot Proviso is not required to prevent the curse of Slav ery from being inflicted on the Territories. Under these oircumstances it would be madness in me to publish my letter, and take higher ground for the South than they have taken for themselves. This would be to out-Herod Herod, and to be more Southern than the South. It could do no good, but might do much mischief. The truth is the South have got them selves into a condition on this question from whiob it appears to me now they can not extricate themselves. My preposition af the Missouri Compromise was at once abandoned by them, aod the cry was non intervention. They fought the battle at the last Presidential election with this de vice upon their banners. The Democracy of Pennsylvania are now everywhere rally ing to non intervention. They suppose in doing this they are standing by the South in the manner most acceptable to their Southern brethren. Our Democratic journals aro praising the speech of Webster, because all the ap pearances are that it is satisfactory to the south. It is now too late to change front with any hope of success. You may re treat with honor upon the principle that you can carry your slaves to California, and hold them there under the Constitu tion and refer the question to the Supreme Court of the United States. I nm sorry both for your sakes and ray own that such is tho condition in which you are placed. I nay for my ov>? take, becuuse I can never yield the position whioh I have leliberately taken in favor of the Missouri Compromise, and I shall be assailed by fa natics and freesoilers as long as 1 live, for liliving gone further in support , of the rights or the South than Southern Sena tors and Representatives. I am committed for the Missouri Compromise, unit that committal thall ttand. Should there be any unexpected change in the aspect of affairB at Washington which would hold out the hopa that the publication of my Missouri Compromise letter would do any good, it shall be pub lished. I was about to write more, but this let ter is long enongh. It may be, and doubtless was the fact, that in 1819 or 1820 my name was placed on a committee which reported the reso lutions to which tbatscamp, General Cam eron, relers. I was then a young man, had a great veneration for the chairman of the committee as my legal preceptor, and probably was under the influence of the excitement then universal in Pennsyl vania. I first went to Congress in De cember, 1821, and throughout my public career have been uniform in maintaining the just constitutional rights of tho South. I bave made more speecbos on the sub ject, both on the floor of the Senate and at bome, than probably any other man living. One of them I now inclose to you, marked, which fell into my hands last evening while I was looking for other matters. 1 wish yon would read my speech throngh on the veto power. It is the only one I ever made which fully pleased myself* From your friend, Very respectfully, Jambs Buchanan. To lion. Jefferson Davit: p. s. Why did not the Southern gen tlemen agree upon a common basis of set tlement? Please let me hear from you soon. I am inviled very specially to a wedding in Washington, and possibly I inay ba there for one day on the 9th of April. Would to Heaven that Gen. Taylor might come out in favor of the Missouri Compromise. I should glory in sustaining him. O. T. BEACREGARD TO JIFIi DAVIS New Orleans, Feb. 13, 1848. * ? * * ? ? I am no disunion man. I bavn lived long enough at the North to be able to appreciate fully the good qualities, energy, commercial aptitude and shrewdness of its inhabitants. But I, for one, will never submit tamely in any community, whatever may be its vantages, to be subbed and robbed of my just rights, even at the rislt of loBlng in the contest all that I may be possessed of. We have, in my humble opinion, no concessions to make to them ; for to ub the question of Slavery is one of life or death ; to them it is one of faney aod political capital. The more we yield to their unjust de mands the more exacting they will be:ome; for as their preponderance in our national council inoreases ours diminishes, until at last they shall bave beoome so strong that' they will not even design to ask, but will order forthwith the execution of a meas ure which will bring death and desolation to our homes. But this is a question so familiar to your high intelligence and pat riotism that I will pnrsne it no further.? Hoping that "all will end well that is well," I remain, dear Sir, very respectfully, your ob't serv't, G. T. Beacbegabd. Gen. Jxrr. Davis, U. S. Senator, Washing ton, D, 0. The Klectlom or Congressmen, from West Virginia. from the Parkenbnrg Galette. Our State is now fully under way'as a State of tbe Union. Now, we are to mark out our political as well as personal po sition. In our constitution, governor, legislature and senators, we have express ed our purpose of being loyal to the govern ment and the people. It is nbw our duty to show in other forms, not only our loy alty, but our adherence to tbe administra tion in all its measures to suppress the rebellion. We are soon to elect members of Congress, and it is our duty to ourselves, our reputation as a State, to tboae who trusted our pledges nod gave us a new State, and freedom as well from the op pressions of slavery as old fogyism, that we should elect no "Copperheads," "But ternuts" or "Border state men," but men, aud thoso only, who langb at the tools who have "negro on the brain," that leads them to wince at the President's proclama tion of freedom to the slaves of rebels, who shake tbeir heads and groan over the employment of negroes as soldiers, who sbrink the holding of. rebels as hostages for the fair treatment of negro prisoners of war, and who are horrified because the government finds it- necessary to punish rebellions acts and language in the loyal states. We want those whose lives have proved, and are pledges that tbey will sup port the Administration in all its measures for the suppression of the rebellion, that they are on the side of God, freedom and the people, not on the side of rebellion, slavery and an nristocraey. Lot us try for the Utter and have no representatives who are not of and for the people and the gov ernment as it is. Dnloniam In New Orleans. The Hon.- John Hutchins, special agent of the Government at New Orleans, brings a most bopeful account of the position of Union affairs in that seotion. The people al most unanimously admit that the rebellion is a failure and hope, for the Bake of peace, that the tail end of treason may soon be squelched. Mr. Hutchins reports in favor of re-establisbing the United States Mint, and thinks that its establishment will make the citizens feel more secure, and demon is. forever to hold New Orleans. Many of strate that the fixed purpose of the Govern ment tbe old banks of New Orleans have be. come insolvent, having subscribed at the commencement of the war for Confederate bonds, now woithless. These banks the people have no confidence in, and arrange ments are being made to establish a Na tional bank, under tbe* auspices of tbe Controller of Currency. Ur. Hutchins kaa already forwarded in structions and forms for its establishment. The supply of cotton in Louisiana is much more extensive than was expected, and it is now coming into New Orleans in large quantities. The rebel cottun burning the ory, it seems never worked, and immense supplies of cotton, thought to be destroy ed, are continually coming to light.? Twenty thousand pounds aro reaching the city daily. Sugar is held at 8c., and tbe supply is ample, though it is thought that only 50,000 tona were raised in tbe State of Louisiana during last year. The health of New Orleans remains good, and tbere is no prospect of yellow fever. Mr. Hutcb ius baa done valuable service in reorgan izing the civil departments of New Orleans, and the agents of the Government here ap preciate the work done.?New York Tri bune Letter. Amnesty to Deserters. From the Richmond Enquirer, Aug. 6. Yesterday wai a bright day in the cal endar for Castle Thunder. Over five hun dred prisoners, incarcerated under charges .of, St undergoing punishment for deser tion, were releaged in accordance with the amnesty granted by tbe President in bis late proclamation. All seemed delighted, and having tasted to some extent the pen alties of their defection, expressed them selves grateful for the "change of air" tbus afforded tbem. Most of them state that they were not deserters, and are anxious to prove their assertion in the field. Tbe sam'i paper in another article says: "Substitutes.?Substitutes are begin ning to command a large price. ThiB morning a man in Rlobmond offered $5,000, and another $4,000, for a man to take his place in an artillery company. This sub stitute system onght to be Btopped, as it has already done much mischief in our army. At the Adjutant-General's office have been received 60,000 substitutes in place of an equal number of able-bodied men, capable of bearing arms. Had these 60,000 men been with Gen. Lee at Gettys burg, we should have bad a treaty of peace in progress beforb this." |1 Paying Workmen wttli O rders. We are pleased to observe that in one State of-tbe Union at least, tbe legislators have bien humane and thoughtful enough to abolish forever tbe pernicious system of paying workmen with orders, or store pay, as it is sometimes called. This practice is more common than uuyoqe would suppose, and i$n4t at all an eqnable or a just pro ceeding. Every man should be paid in money what his services are actually worth, and he should b6 allowed tbe privilege of disposing of his earnings as be may see fit. Employers will find that the amount of work performed by each individual will be muioj> more than it would usder a some whiFcomfculaory plan of obliging him to use whaflver may be in the store in which his ordeifia payable. In Pennsylvania a law has recently been passed on this sub ject ; tbe provisions of it are worthy of the attention of ail persons interested. It pro vides that " it shall not be lawful for any iron-master, foundry-man, collier, factory man or company, their agents or olerks, to pay the wages or any part of the wages of workmen or labdters by tbem employed, in either printed, written or verbal orders, up on any store-keepers or other dealers in merchandise or other articles, whether con nected in business witb the said iron-mas ter, foundry-man, collier or factory-man or uot. Any iron-master, foundry-man, col lier or factory-man, paying to tbe said workman or laborer, so by bim employed, or authorizing their agent or agents to pay any part of the wages of said workmen in orders upon any such storekeeper, shall forfeit tbe amoont of said order or orders so given or paid, the same shall not be de falked against tbei wages of said workman or laborer, and be shall be entitled to re cover the full amount of his wages as tbongh no such order or orders bad been given or paid, and no settlement made with such employer shall bar snoh recovery, and any iron-master, fonndry-man, collier or factory-man, offending against tbe pro visions of tbe first section of this act, shall be gnilty of a misdemeanor, and, npon con viction thereof, shall be punished by a fine and imprisonment, or either, at the dis cretion of tbe court trying the same; and, provided, farther, that this t-ct shall ex tend to all seamstresses or females em ployed in factories or otherwise."?Scien tific American.
