EFFECTS OF THE BLOCKADE.
A gentleman who. has resided inMadi
’gon county,' Georgia, for a year past, (a
former of Chica'goX;. places us in
possession of some important foots con
cerning the effects of the blockade. Hav
ing been engaged in mercantile pursuits
there, Ms opportunities for observing the
Budded 'and appalling advance in the
prices of all necessaries ofllfe, were abun
dant •
Our informant left Atlanta on Monday,
the 8d inst At tbattimo tho price of
bacon -was 20c per pound at wholesale, and
fast rising, The supply comesi wholly from
Loni&vxUe. .Flour, such- as sells in onr
market at $3.25 per bbb was. last quoted
there at $lO. Of late, however, it has
nearly disappeared from the market."
Coffee was nelaDing at 40c per pound.
Salt was worth' $2.50 per bushel. This
important article rate one dollar in a tingle
day, . Gunpowder was nominally nine
doUareper hey, but onr informant was re
fused a single keg, in the ' Augusta market,
atariy price, Com, the great article of
food for all classes, was quoted at $123 to
$145 per bushel - Calico prints, the pro
ducts of those Abolition hotbed* of llan
ch ester and Providence,-had risen from 12
to 17c per yard. But perhaps the’ greatest
distress arose from a lack of medicines, to
arrest the progress of diseases and to cure
the aid. Several physicians had joined the
joined the army as soldiers from inability
to continue their, practice—the stock of
medicines having dwindled down to a few
“roots and ynrhs". of southern growth.
These are a few samples of the alarming
rise in ,the articles of prime necessity. The
whole, reliance of the State and of the
South is upon the aid of England and
France., Everybody tells everybody else
that those powers are sending across the
Atlantic prodigious fleets to break the
blockade, when of course the land will
flow with milk and honey. Some of the
wiser ones, Ex-Gov. Foote, of Mississippi,
for instance, admit that there is'a
bare possibility that England and Frsnise
may stay at home and mind their own
husineea, in which case, it is conceded, the
“Confederate States” would bo at their
wits’ end. Every ponnd of provirions,'
every article of merchandise that goes
down from Louisville has to be paid for in
gold and silver, and thus the country is
bcitg’rapMly drained of its specie. Georgia
currency is nominally at 10 percent, dis
cotmt, but the banks will not part with,
their coin at all except where it is impera
tively required to procure the necessaries
of life, or imperatively, demanded by Jeit
Davis’s Secretary of the Treasury. T
The scarcityof money has ina great de
gree demoralized the army. The Sew
Orleans Zonaves:who ’ were withdrawn
from Pensacola and sent to Virginia pass
ed through Montgomery and Atlanta. At
the former place they demanded their
pay in such mutinous language that the
citizens became terrified. Their officers
assured them that they would be' paid in
fell at ’Richmond. - Some of them declared
that ifrnotpaidat Richmond, immediately
on their arrival, they would bum the town.
The majority, however, would hot be put
off any longer with promises. They would
not bpdge an Inch Rom Montgomery until
they ehcnld receive their arrearages in foil,
in unmistakable specie. They tints carried
their point and got their money. Before
they moved on, six of them were shot by
citizens of Montgomery for breaking into
-Jbeir houses. The lama of these Zou
aves eclipses that of Billy ‘Willson’s regi
' menu So great was the terror inspired by
their plundering and ruffianism, that the
citizens of Atlanta would not allow their
train to stop in the town. The Home
Guards and citizens generally formed on
each ride of the railroad track and told the
engineer to go ahead on pain of instant
death. The train accordingly sped through
town at the rateol fifteen miles an hour.
The Zouaves on the other hand, declared
that they were only fighting for bread, and
bread they tcould hate.
Onr informant adds that all hope of tak
ing Fort Pickens has been abandoned, and
that the soldijus now declare they never
intended to,take it unless it could- be done
by bribing the aentinds—apian in which
they had great confidence at one time. The
“poor hirdinga” on Santa Rosa Island
would of comae do anyything for pay.
Latterly this idea has fallen into disrepute.
INEXPRESSIBLE BELIEF.
Tlie relief of the members of- the recent
Democratic party, Is not a whit less inex
pressible than that of the late advocates of
pro-slavery Tfieology. The complication
in onr national affairs and the wiehed and
defiant attitude of the rebels have re
leased them horn their partisan and theol
•gical obligations to uphold the institution
they abhorred, and the men whom they de
tested; and to-day these who urge the
most vigorous efforts against the enemy,
and the most radical measures against the
. accursed system' which is the root of the
evil, are thosewho, only a few months
ago,,;-were , the tenderest - in their
treatment of. the South, and * the
most eloquent apologists for the atrocities
of which N«w Dahomey it guilty, We
hnil the change with pleasure. Ifthecon
test'doea not result in the freedom of the
Slave, it will work out the emancipation of
theKbrth. -And hereafter, unless we cm
sent to some stupid’ and unmanly compro
mise on the heels of the first victory, all
our northern men win have no hesitation
in characterizing Slavery and Its concomi
tants in the terms that they have earned; and
when a preacher, professedly of the Qospel,
defends, in a Korthcm pnlpit and before a.

the whipping of mothers, and the
givingnp of young'women to be the obe

the ' virtuous’ Jesuits of -Apostolical

; We congratulate the country, especially
the Democratic portion of it, on the ad
vance that is being made. Good men have
until lately feared that man-selling and
woman-whipping, in State and Church,
would replace the werds of patriotism
and the words of love that bad come down
to this generation from that of old. At
one moment, and that no longer ago than
1858, it seemed that the of
self-government must necessarily be given
up; that the heresies of modem statesman
ehlp which derided the Declaration of Inde
pendence as a string of glittering genertil
itics, and which endorsed the absurdities of
the fashionable Theology that taught that
the Almighty was only the patron stint of
nigger-drivers and the ordtindt of decrees
which justified lire atrocious beastliness of
the human auction block, the cofile gang,
the whipping post, the branding iron and
the plantation seraglio—it seemed, wo say,
that these would take the place of Democ
racy and Christianity, and that our civili
zation, in spite of bur Bibles, our schools,
our churches and aut institutions, would
become^extinct--Democrats see the dan
ger that they have escaped; and though
the lingering remains of party pride, and
wantof exefoise in thovocabnlary of Free
dom, embarrass the utterance of the great
truths that they have, learned, we know
that their impulses and aspirations are
such _as : make patriot* '.glow.. We
conjure ' them ;to be moderate in
acting ont their zeal to undo the mischief
that has been wrought, while they were
silent lookers-on,;or were blind instru
ments in the work, - Heaven rnoevs in ap-.
pointed and mysterious ways. We have
bnt a faint glimmering of its intention in
regard to the stricken and guilty nation
that we behold. Bo it the part of all men
to do the work before them with zeal stim
ulatod by conviction that God lives; and
be it theirs to look for .His further mani
festation in the problem tbat neither hu
man' courage nor cunning can solve. La
bor and wait! is tire lesson for the day.

The idea of conveying secession mafia from
New Orleans along the coast of Texas by
water. In the face of the blockading squadron
at the mouths of the Mississippi, and steam
cruisers in the Gulf, is peculiarly refreshing.
The “contractors’* who undertake .the job
will have a sweet time fulfilling their sched
ules.
In an adjoining column is a fascinating ad
vertisement by “Jeptha Fowlkes, General and
Financial Agent oi the Southern Pacific Ball
road Company of Texas.** He says;
l*We will purchase or hire, fora term of fire
years. Five Hundred ora Thousand Slave Laborers
to work on the Southern Pacific Railroad, fa Texas
—fanned IdatcJy west of Shreveport, La., fa a re
gion secure and protected from invasion or moles
tation from the conflict which exists, between
the two sections of this country.
This company has a magnificent land grant from
Texas, Le., 10,340 acres for every mile of road the
company constructs, for the distance of 800 miles
from Shreveport on the eastern, to El Paso on the
western boundary, of Texas. la times like the
present, the company cannot command cash to pay
tor labor essential to therapld development of the
company’s Interests ; bat far a term of years, by
hire or cy the actual purchase, this company will
make the most liberaland advantageous arrange
ments with elave-onreers fa Kentucky, Missouri,
Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, or elsewhere.
“This company has secured the sympathy, and
the route on the 82d degree of parallel of latitude
has the sanction, of several of the most powerful
European Governments,” Ac., Ac.
The company having no ctoh to ,proceed
with the work, rely for means upon “ sympa
thy and the S2d parallel of latitude.*’ The
far ofi; secluded location of the track enables
the company to offer slaveholders of the bor
der States a safe place of deposit for their
biped stock, where they will not be subject
to Gen. Butler’s contraband doctrine, nor
tempted to travel northward in the night
time. The 800 miles of road will doubtless bo
huHt this season.. •
Under, the head of talk on ’Change, we ex
tract the following items:
There was some talk about the return of the
Consuls from the .Bailee, where they had been to
consult with the commander of Lincoln. Seward
A Co'.s pigmy squadron. The commander of the
Brooklyn has been graciously pleased to allow
until the 9th fast, for outward bound vessels;
with foreign property to proceed to. sea. The
military ana marine defences of Louisiana ought
to havebccn in a belter position at this time than
to allow one solitary steamer to dictate terms to
the Southern Confederacy. Three months ago It
waa resolved to blockade the Southern ports.
There ought to bavo been a sufficient force within
the military department of Louisiana to have
blown faiußroolfyn out of the water on her first
appeal ax ce, -
The farther talk was, that there has been some
tremendous gouging, going on in some contracts
with the Confederate Government; that the South
ern Confederacy has been paying the most enor
mous prices paid for transportation of troops and
stores: that contracts have been given out, with
out being known only to each and such parties;
that the most extravagant prices have been given
for charters of steamboats; of the transportation
of stores.. munition* of war, the purchase of
steamboats, and many other things too numerous
to talk about fa a het day.
Tfie European advices by the* Galway steamer
had do effect whatever—tAcrc teas nothing to of
fret—there is hardly more than a good-sized ship
load of cotton on sale fa our market at this time.
The “ pigmy squadron” suffice to hermetri
cally seal up tbe Mississippi, and enough is u
good aa a feast The Brooklyn has the pow
erful Niagara and three other steamers to help
her. Tie “ blowing out of water” is a Job
that had better be let out Seeing that confed
erate contractors are paid off in Jeff Darla’s
shin-plasters, it makes little matter what they
charge the “confederate government.” No
price can be “ enormous” paid la such curren
cy. It la decidedly worse than even “ stump
tafl,** . - •
■ The “leader” la a slashing assault upon “Bin
Seward” il as a Statesman,”*who is pronouns
ed “head-devil and master' spirit” of this
“ atrocious war upon the rights of the South,”-
He is called a “Juggler,” a'“professional
political gambler,” a “shallow and* malignant
Imposter,” the “brains of the Administration,”
the prompter of Lincoln "and-the seducer of
Gen. Scott.” The article proceeds to point
out his “ craft, cunning, over-reaching and
strategy,” andwinds up by idling Its readers
that he Is “an abominable, shallow-pated
feDow ol no particular consequence.”

will show* a system of treachery extending
through all grades of official, business and

have been engaged in giving aid and comfort
to the rebels, and to have famished means
and information for securing a triumph of
the rebellion. Members of Congress from
free Slatee figure frequently among _ these
flashes of intelligence. New York city repre
sentatives, some of whom are now seeking
commissions in the federal army, did their
full share ..in giving information and tele
graphic encouragement to the rebel leaders
then engaged, in rushing their States into the
vortex of secession. Eeporters for Northern
papers handed into the telegraph office the
knowledge, they had obtained through their
free soil professions. Even the'members of
the-Peace,Congress, and some .-from free
held out words of encouragement to
the rebelleaders, that if they would keep up

down. Several of the members of that Con

reports of its proceedings to the rebels, while

SLAVES AS CONTRABAND OF WAR,
Professor Fanon’s Opinions —Four
TV ays of Beallng Trltn fito Subject,
[From the Boston Atlas.]
Tbeopbiluß Parsons, LL. D., Dane Professor
of Law at Harvard College,baa recently treated
this subject very folly in his lectures at Cam
bridge. By request he has furnished a sketch
of his remarks, which are as follows:
“ Many of you have asked of me what would
be the law or the legal righto which an army,
advancing by order of the President into a
State in organised rebellion, would carry with
it, as to the slaves. I will endeavor to answer
this question.
“In the first place, the army must have the
rights; and all the righto of war. Because, If a
State puts itoelfinto that position with refer
ence to the United States, the government of
the United States must necessarily accept that
position while' carrying on the conflict, al
though the general government prosecute the
war with no desire of subjugation, but only for
the purpose of bringing that Slate back to Its
original position.
“There are four ways in which that army
might deal with slaves. One is, to seize and
use them in its military labors. That they
might do this seems to me as certain as that
they might seize horses or oxen to draw their
wagons, or shovels to dig their trenches. How
far .compensation should be made must depend
upon circumstances. _ It is a common opinion
that civilization has so flu* mitigated war, that
it is no longer one of the laws of war that an
invading army-may seize,'use, or destroy pri
vate property. . This is a mistake, according to
all the authority.. on the law of nations. It is
undoubtedly true,' however; that the modem
usages and ’ proprieties of war—and there are
such things—would Justify the exercise of
tbit right only on the ground of military ne
cessity. -
i THE BIGHT OF US IKVADIKO ARMT.
“ The second way Is to receive and harbor
all runaway slaves. And the third U but a step
further in ihe same direction, although it may
seem to be a wide step; It is to liberate them,
sot, sa it were, passively, but by proclamation
or other active measures. As a matter of law,
I have cot the least doubt of therlghtofan
Invrdicg army to do this. It would, regarded
m a mere question of law, stand on the foot
ing of a destruction of private property luau
enemy’s country. And like that, it would be
an unquestionable right: but If the usuages of
war were to govern It, it would be a right to
bie exercised only as a military necessity, and
for the purpose of weakening the enemy, and
lessening his means of. attack or resistance.
And the existence of this necessity must be
' determined by the commanding officer, or by
the supreme authority at home, in view of all
the circumstances of- the case. - Should • there
be a war between two slave States, say Geor
gia mad South Carolina, and Georgia should in
vade South Carolina, I have nd doubt that the
Invading. forces might and would claim and
possess the right to exercise these means of
Weakening their enemy If they thought proper.
BSCTtBECnONKOr TOBBIKCITBD.
.“Tbe.fourih way of dealing with slaves
would be to put weapons into their hands and
incite them to armed Insurrection. If auysuch
rlghtoas this can ever exist it can only spring
from the extremes! necessity, and from a con
dition of things which It would be difficult and
painful to Imagine. 'With my understanding
of what an armed servile insurrection most be
I may illustrate my view of the law thusAn
army which invested. & city that was supplied
with water by a stream flowing into it, would
have a right to cut off the stream and so re
duce, the city to submission. But it would
have no right, military or other, to poison the
waters. There seems to me, os matter of law,
a good teat for this. Theconunander of an In
vading army might' certainly, as a military ne
cessity, liberate the slaves said make any use
of them which he could make of his own sol
diers ; hut nothing more.
“ Questions of a moral nature, and others of
expediency, gather around this staple of the
treatment of slaves by an Invading force. I
have avoided all reference to them, not be
came I am Insensible to their existence or
force. Built is my.business here to speak to
you, as well as I can, of the law, andl believe
lean speak of it more accurately, if I speak
: only of the law.”

THE GIGANTIC -- MILITARY PREPARA-
I TION OF PRANCE.
[PromitW.Loaden.Tliiies, May 36.]
It will odiiy some of our readers If they win
casttiielr eyes down the review of the Preach
army in crar mlnmn* to-day. Four hundred
thousand-men, bring ahundredth of the whole
population of France* one out of every sixteen
able-bodied men. ana more than all the able*
bodied men In this vast metropolis, are raised
by forced conscription, and maintained by
forced taxes—we cannot finish the sentence—
for what? In this country, whether for a just
or a groundless terror, toe are accustomed to be
lUve ourselves the prdbaUs object of invasion
Many of ns have seen with our'own eyes the
invaoing.force prepared- and' maneuvered.
Nay, Mr. Disraeli has well observed that Eng*
land has been invaded, not at all with uniform.
111-success, at least once a century, ever since
the beginning of her ann Us. This alone aright
serve to justify a moderate armament; but the
truth Is tho.touranny is very Utile more than a
depot for our numerous distant and scattered re
quirements, , Its principle. is to get the great
est amount of work done by the least means,
and to make one man, by selection, voluntary
feeling, good pay; good treatment, and a fre
quent change of place, do duty for ‘ several
men;' No Englishman whose opinion la worth
listening.to on the matter thinks our army
one man too large for its' actual employment.
He may be of opinion that we have too many
little wars; that, wd undertake too much col
’onlal protection; that we hare no heed to gor
rkoDEomany stepping stones ronndtheworld,
and eo forth; ‘ bat, assuming the. work to be
done, It is impossible to say that the power
employed Is excessive. • We can have no other
object bat use, forparadc we havehone.. The
military force in this metropolis-is neither so
numerous nor So prominent as the police, and
-Jnmsny parts of the country—the greater
port—a red coat is as rare as a black man or a
cream'colored horse. In France all is the
contrary. France fear*-no invasion, 'She has
never bun invaded except by those who drove back
her own invading armies, , She .is aware,that
against ell the thunders of oil her neighbors—
Belgium, Germany, Switzerland,. Italy_and
Spann, five dectric wires are sufficient.'' They
■wili no m ore' Invade 'her spontaneously than
they, would plunge of free will into the crater
France has no colonies or‘foreign 1
me for her soldiers, except where the soldiers
themselves arc the use, and. in. a vicious cir
cle, redundant means are the insufficient en£
Nevertheless, under no fear, with-no real ob
ject, France has an army so* large as to be in
every great city and populous town a large
part of the population, and a prominent fea
ture in the general effect. Of course, we can
not suppose this to he mere vanity. There
must be a purpose, and, if the purpose he not
cohfe££ed,ltmußtD6eurmi6ea->--"< :
• But it is when wepsss from the vaat'mnster
of . the men to the organization; the aids, and
appliances, that we are struck with the vast
disproportion of the means over the end. This
is no militia; no army of defense to wake like
a sleeping lion; ho living wall .of men; no
bodies to be passed over by the would-be cou
querer of the country. It is most emphatical
ly an instrument in the highest state of effi
ciency. As in the well trained human frame
the nerves, the sinews, the muscles predomi
nate, and there is no spare flesh,'the efficiency
of an army for immediate operations consist*
in its cavalry, staff, train and administrative
services. To quote the comparison of theEn
gllsh end French armies in our colonies, with
only twice and a half the nmnber of foot sol
diers the latter have, speaking in ronndnom
hers, five times as many in the administrative
services, three times as many in the staff, and
six times the cavalry that we have, besides ten
times as many horses, while they have bat one
third more in the engineers, and about one
half more in the artillery. Again,lntheFrench
service the proportion of officers to men is as
oceto nineteen. The French cavalry numbers
76,903; its artmery,S7,«73; its train, 5,655; its
“ administrative services,” 8,787; its. horses,
85,705. This Is eminently a locomotive army.
All know the trouble we have to prepare a
moderate force for an expedition. If we have
to send 20,000 men far or near, it Is all the
same. What a fnss and inquiry for horses, ar
tillery, wagons, ambulances, and officers com
petent for particular services I -But herb all is
ready at a moment’s warning. “A Frenchman
with his sword,” said Napoleon, “ cm tna rch
through the world.” Here is the very sword
for that service. T That can France herself, the
eompactesi territory in the world, want with 70,000
hones! That is the number in France alone,
deducting Algeria. Indeed there is nothing
in the eo called colony to qualify the general
character of the French army as avast extrav
agance of power and display, if not ambition
and aggression. Algeria is only the school of
thv French army. The cine to its objects most
be found in such occupations as that of Rome,
and—ahallwe add?—of Syria. With 40,000
men and 85,000 horses, eating their heads off
at home, there must he a great temptation to
lodge them wherever room and work are to be
found. No one ever possessed a good weapon
without a strong inclination to . use it, and,
even if France bad no immediate hopes or def
inite policy, still the mere handling of so
mighty and manageable force must itself bo
suggestive. The sword must be apt to cat
through its own sheath... We have latdyseen ■
this great army pour forth like burning lava, and \
step not tIU it had run its appointed course. Is it I
fvrrmdalleio nobody? Jf. to any nation, to which j
more than ourselves f " ,
The particular occasion on which this com- I
parison has been made is to show the real cost |
cf this colossal armament. It was lately
stated in the House of Commons to be £l4,- • ■
000,000, such bring the sum appropriated to I
the Minister oi War. A more careful inapec- I
tion of the estimates compared with ours ;
adds many and considerable items to this :
sum. Taking all things into account, such as I
pensions, military works, and the vust amount |
of the personal sacrifices inflicted both on
those who are forced to purchase substitutes i
for the conscription and those who cannot af- I
ford to do so. the cost of the French army la |
estimated at twenty-four millions.'.. It is true
that we,tto, should throw in our yeomanry,
our militia and our volunteers, ■'the latter |
standing for a very large cost to themselves
and the liberal pnpblic. But those arc pnrely
offensive forces, and cannot enter into the
comparison with an army, every man of which
may be sent across Europe’af the word of
an emperor, it is for such a force, so gigantic,
eo handy, so terrible, that France is now paying
(a money and in forced labor twenty four miUiions
pounds a year. If sheshouldregret overmuch
that so costly endbcantlful a weapon is wasted,
that would only be a folly of ordinary occur
rence. We usually wish to .turn to aecount or
to find a use in everything that bos cost us
money, and that we hare brought to perfec
tion. That-France should ever be unconscious
of her power, or backward to use it, or that
she should be insensible to the ordinary al
lurement of ambition, la not what we learn
from her history. France is France still, and
will be so to the end of the chapter. At this
moment she stands, having replenished her
armory, recruited her men, and made good
all defects, two years after the successful
completion of a grand enterprise, the respon
sibility of which must rest on her own head.
We wul not harshly judge her past mission of
political heroism, but as little shall we ven
ture’ to predict the next, or say when it will
come. AH we know for certain is, that France is
now in the very state that she was in tTUrty months
ago, when she poured her legions over mountain
and sea, and drove a great empire and a friendly
state out qf an ancient appandage,
THE ABHORRENT CHARACTER OF THE
SOUTHERN GONFDERACT.
[From the London Daily News.]
Politics and history would be greatly sim
plified if the outward form of attractions
were a safe guide to their real character—U.
lor instance, we might eay of every revolt
that St was a movement favorable to liberty,
and that any attempt to repress it might he
tyranny. This age has often been called to
witness the disruption of old States and the
ileg of new ones by the process of secession.
Men are alive who can remember tbs Ameri
can war of Independence, and inEnrope, since
the peace, we have seen the kingdom of
Greece established by the courage of its peo-
Jle with territory tom from Turkey; while in
taly the dismemberment of independent poli
tical societies has been going on for the last
three yean and Is still 1 proceeding. It hap
pens that all these movements have been,
happily, in the interest of liberty and good
.government. This time last year it might ,
not have occurred to ns to write of the con
nection between liberty and independence as
casual and local. I We might have been ex
cused for taking It as fixed in the lairs of
modem progress. Bnt at least it is cer
tain that the secessions and disruptions of
which we have seen eo many, have been until
now undertaken in the interest of freer and
better goverrmenfs than that of the States
rent asunder. So close has been the association
qf revolt with liberty, that we hare almost forgot
ten that it could be otherwise, and that some of
the most odious tyrannies the world has seen has
commenced byawarof independence.
But it is argued—revoltls revolt, and rebel
lion is rebellion all the world over. The
American Colonials wanted to go free, and
George HL tried to hold them by the sword;
-the Southerners also want to go, and Ur. Lin
- coin tries to detain them by force; if-yon do
rot blame Mr. Abraham Lincoln you cannot
condemn Ring George. By the same rule we
might eay, Caleb williams, 1 ' being unjustly
confined, broke of ’prison;' Jonathan Wild,
broke out of prison, therefore Jonathan was
unjustly confined. - It is in vain to attempt a
philosophy of the pretended right of revolu
tion. The only justification of revolt .is its
necessity; and that is enough- Bat in the
present case, to judge of this necessity, eo tar
as people neutral indeed, bat not indifferent
to the fortunes and character of 30,000,000 of
its brethren, is called to do, we must ask why
the Southern ere want to get out of the pale of
the freest Constitution the world ever saw,and
what they mean to do. ItU more than waste of
/•time—lt is mystification—to wrangle about
the to talled right to revolt, as if that were
not a contradiction In terms. Those who wk*
to show that the seceding States have any credit to
gain by appealing to precedents of the Revolution
ary War,must show that the objects qf the foun
ders qf American liberty and those tf the South*
em leaders are similar, or at least not contradic
tory. Of course no such demonstration Is
forthcoming.. When the English public reads
that Franklin and Patrick Henry combined
their talents for the assertion of liberty, and
Jefferson Davis and Mr. Stephens laying the
foundations, of an empire destined to ex
pand freely to the West and Sooth by" the
multiplication of- bondsmen, resemble
one another In caiylog out:, the princi
ples of the Revolution, I ,we cannot bnt respect
the profound feelings with which Americans
must see the fathers of their country dishon
ored. The principles of Henry and Franklin
would have prevented the cause of this seces
sion by annihilating Slavery, had they not
been succeesftally struggled against by the
party which it is now pretended reproduces
the principles of . the Revolution. Is it not.
admirable that men should invoke on behalf,
of the projectors of a vast slave-bolding State
the names of men who have borne the most
solemn testimony in flavor of liberty ? Let ns
hear what Patrick Henry, who is brought for-,
ward co readily as the prototype of weeces
slonist, raid: u ls it not amazing that at a
time when the rights of . humanity are
defined and understood .with precision
.in a country above -all others - proud
,cf liberty— that in such an age and ancha
country we find men adopting a‘Species of
, TloltTce and tyranny which our more rude
• ard boisterous, bnt more honest ancestors d-s
--| -tceted, a principle as repugnant to humanity
as it U Inconsistent with liberty ?” The fatal
political consequence* to be apprehended from
slavery were alwaysweighing upon thominds
of the onthore oftfieir country’s Independence.
The; saw that It would destroy Republican
inn. But tire temper of the men who now
-have place end power at Montgomery Is very
different The vice President of the Confed
eration,'ln a solemn speech, made recently,
alter referring to the known aversion of Jef
ferson to slavery, as politically and socially,
as well as.morally,wrong, said: “Our new
Government is founded upon exactly the op
posite Idea. Its foundations are laid, Its cor
ner stone rests upon the great truth that the
negro Is not equal to the white man; that
slavery, subordination to the superior nee, is
his natural and moral condition. This, our
new Government, is,the first In the history of
the worldbaaed upon Ibis great physical, phil
osophical, and moral truth?’
’Such Is the liberality of'.the new State.
This'is the cause which wo are invited to
identify with the Revolution merely because
both Washington and ™ colleagues and
Davis and his accomplice* had to cast off some
restraint before' they could * commence the
work of .building up a* government. It was
the free and righteous republic which justified
the war of Independence.. It is the dark and
nefarious absolutism of the designs entertain
ed at Montgomery that damns this movement
of secession. The free States of the North
declare that thewicked scheme shall not bo
carried cut—that the American Continent
shall not be blasted with slavery, but be pre
served for the multiplication and mansion or
free communities. - 'We are-ttfid that the
Bohth fiftim to be the beat judges of ithelr
interests, and - bold- that- those- interests
require independence*. -We have not the
least doubt of itV- And It they can make that
independence goodthey may. become tike the
earthquake at
men must perforce recognize.. Bntuntil then
the prayer of every truaniend of liberty must
be that an independence, rowed in advance to
enterprises which defy the morality and
violate interests oLmankind, may never be
attained.

The march was not less than fourteen miles
—theyperformeditatnlghtand'onfoot. They
croised the river four miles below Litas, and
reached the town abouts o’clock in tbemom
ing. They were armed with nine Minis rifles,
three Colt?* revolvers and a general assortment
of knives. Sergeant Drennlng preceded the
party to the town; hefonnd the flag in a store
—returned to warn the boys, and went back
with them. They arrived at Xatan at about
7% o’clock A. M. The baleful flag wag stream
ing in the wind. Capt. Bennett, who com
mands a company of-HO scoundrels, stood by
the flagstaff and inquired the purpose of the
Kansas men. Drerming replled:
“Sm: IN THE NAME AND BY TUB AU
THORITY OF THE UNITED STATES, I DE
MAND THE LOWERING-OP THIS FLAG!”
Another blowing,bleared,bnttenmt-colorod
traitor fell into the rear and asked Tom Mer
rick what authority he had. Tom quickly
pointed to his Minie, and answered: “ That’s
my authority.” The redoubtable Capt. Ben--
nett then tuned on his heel, and entered a
mm shop. Brennlng directed Lewis* to cat
the rope and let the flag down, an act Lewis
quickly performed. ~ The symbol of poison
aud assassination was then rolled up, and the
squad of Yankees end Germans started for
Kansas. ,
As soon as they bad turned their backs on
the God-forsaken town, tho Rebels began to
blow their bugles and summon in their fellow
conspirators. They came in on foot and on
hones. The Kansas Boys bad advanced about
fifty yards, when they heard the report of mus-.
ketry. Draining was hit bythe first shot,but
he and his men turned and fired.
Bennett and his minions were in the whis
ky shop at the time, and its doors and win
dows were riddled to atoms, by the terrible
fire of the Minks. After this gentle inter
change of courtesies, our men proceeded on
the march. Draining was struck by two
balls, one hitting the right and the other the
left side; both, however, glanced oft and
flesh wounds are the only injury. Lieut.
Umfried is (he most seriously injured. He
carries three bullets, one in the shoulder, one
in the back, and one in the leg. Sergeant
Voeth was shot in the leg and haa lost much
blood. Dr. S. D. Smith, of Elwood, and Dr.

[Correspondence of the Tribune.]
-Two hundred and fifty thousand volunteers
have alrtady been accepted by the Federal
government, and more will undoubtedly be
wanted. Each of these soldiers should have
at least a copy of the New Testament; Never
did men need them more, and never will they
be more likely to read them, than while time

disease or on the battle Arid staring them in

rapidly demoralized, or move forward. They

to advance upon Washington or perish by
indies in a retreat to Richmond. Shall he
give battle on the Potomac now, or await It
on tbe James River,-a few weeks hence, when
Butter, McClellan and Patterson’s troops are
doeing in upon him ?_ That isthe J qneation
we must decide.
At the present moment, he can concentrate
his troops npon the'centre of hia position,
the advanced-point of-which is Manassas

•could be concentrated here, which-la its cen

course, we cannot teR, but probably he might.
If be plays timbold game, gratifies the South
ern boast of advancing upon Washington, and
leaving his flanks weak, and disregarding the
comfort of his troops, makes * forced inarch,
Ido not see why.-he. could not oppose fifty
or sixty thousand men to forty-nine thousand
here. -
- He would have a chance of success, though
Ido not believe he would, succeed—for tae
forty five thousand federal troops here, ore so
strongly posted, well provided and resolute,
that they could make an awful fight of It and
continue it for several days, against a largely
superior force. Even if Davis could eventu
ally possess the hflla across the Potomac, he
might cause a~ dreadful stampede of women,
children and non combatants-generally—but
It would require a bombardment such as he
could not give in a week, to destroy the pub
lic buildings, orto drive ont the enemy. He
conld not possibly cross the river here, and os
for crossing it-above, near Leesburg, George
town heights are-fortified, and the Federal
troops would be very glad to see him la that
direction.
Speculations are Indulged In to this effect:
What If thera is ansther mob in Baltimore

ble that the correct answer to this question is
that Baltimore would cease to exist. To say
nothing of the lour regiments of volunteers

her if her disloyal population should again bo

In a letter from Baltimore, 1 had the pleasure

upon its chamber of powder. And the Devil’s
own bird’s nest—each with an iron egg —the
mortars seemed. An officer ot the fort told
me theywonld throw? shells entirely over the
city. The two inch columbi&ds which were
spiked, are probably in serviceable condition
by this time; and the traitors of Baltimore
might well tremble as these tremendous en
gines are leveled toward the splendid spires of
the monumental city.
The traitors in Baltimore are the lawyers,
the liquor dealers, the aristocracy, and a por
tion of the roughs who have been in ihehablt
of'sucking the great teat The loyalists are
the Methodists and the mechanics. I was in
formed that there were sixty Methodist
churches in the city, and there was hardly a
•member of the church who was not true to
the Union, The mechanics, too, (probably
many of them also Methodists,) are generally
good Union men. I think we. may call Balti
more safe, though the scccssionlsis there are
u powerful fiction, and os deadly to their hos
tility to the General Government as the cor
responding fanatics in Charleston.
It follows that if Washington was placed in
great danger, the guards along the railroad
would be increased so as to make them per
fectly safe, and all the rolling stock on the
Baltimore and Washington, Harrisbnrgh and
Central Pennsylvania, and if necessary all the
other roads, could be employed in pouring in
here a stream of regiments that wotud be over
whelming.

WHAT A POET BATS OF THE REBELS 1 ADOPTION
. [From the Home Journal.]
Of the Marseillaise Hymn, Fitz-Greenc Hal
lock, who for profound and diversified knowl
edge cl history, and a critical acquaintance,
with solid literature, is not surpassed (hardly
equalled) by any living person, expressed, in
a conversation recently held with D. Frauds
Bacon, a feeling of mingled contempt and in
, dignatlon at the procedure of the C&rollnlans
in adopting the Marselllako Hymn as their
tune for a rebellion song, after having by leg
islative act, proscribed and prohibited tbo
singing -of -mil Columbia, Yankee Doodle,
The Star Spangled Burner, and other airs of
similar character and associations. M As Hal*
leek,” says Bacon, “ expressed to mo his idea
of the exceedingly bad taste and absurd Incon
sistency of this eel* clion of a ‘ National Air *
by the thoughtless insurgents—yon know that
when, in the progress ofithe French Bevolu-
Intion, which commenced in 1787, the Qlron
dins attempted to cause the secession cf some*
of the southern departments of France, (es
pecially those on the river Gironde or Garonne,
and the region around Bordean, the proposed
capital of the intended aristocratic govern
ment of La Guinne ,) the Comite de Pub
lique, at Paris—the executive branch ol the
nations! government of the French Republic
—in order to gather a lorce sufficient for the
destruction of the Girondla secessionists,
summoned from all parts of France large bod
ice of citizens faithful to the constitution as
it then was, and devoted to the unity of the
Republic.”
1 Tbo proclamation which summoned the
Icgiors of the Unionists to the rescue and de
fence of the government, bore the motto—
‘ Tice la JiepulAiqxu Franauc, Uiie et LvJivisi-
UeP Indivisible union and nnltv, absolute
aid perpetual, was and is the me-or-death
principle of French patriotism. It so hap
pened that when the Provincial legions march
ed through the southern gates of the national
capital, the Marseillaise men struck up apatri
otic eo»g which had become popular in their
city during the revolutionary excitements of
the time. That sore was the battle-hymn of
Rougct de LisleT Parisians and tho assem
bled people from . all .the departments
listened with delight, and soon raptur
ously joined their voices In tho grand chorus.
It. immediately became the fashion, the
rage, and was at once spontaneously adopted
as the hymn of French national union and
unity. Now (as Halleck forcibly remarked to
men), do but notice the ridiculous incongru
ity of the new uses -to which the tone has
been perverted in South Carolina. The sedi
tlocists have adopted for the anthem of dis
union tbo very strains consecrated in history
as the music of undying, uncompromising
and unsparing hostility to the divison of a re
public—of that vindictive resistance to seces
sion and disunion—which resulted in the
bloody deaths of all the leaders and prime ac
tors is the rebellions movement.”
Alaxming Condition or Queen Vlcto-
ila.
It has often been hinted that QueenYicto
rla ini exited from her grandfather, George 111,
a predisposition to insanity. Her present
condition is truly deplorable. The London
correspondent of the Leeds Intelligencer, alln
direto "the betrothal of the Princess Alice to
the Prince of Hesse Darmstadt, says:
.The marriage has been hnnied on, I believe,
and will take place a great deal soonerthau
wu first intended. Her Majesty's very deli
cate state of health is the cause for this. It is
believed to be.a.matter of the very first im
portance that something ehonld be done to
ronre her from the unnatural melancholy into
which she has fallen since the death of her
mother. Apropos to this a curious statement
was mode to mo in the beginning of the.week
namely, that her Majesty's state of health was
used as an argument against turnlngout the
Government into the lobbies of the House of
Commons for a few days before the great di
vision. Itwaa said that if all the anxiety and
worry Incidental to a change of Ministry were
thrown upon the Queen at the present mo
ment, the consequences might be too serious
even to speak oil There was really.a good
deal of force Su the argument, and It had
weight, 1 understand, with some two or three
men, who consequently abstained from vo
ting.
Breaches of Trust and Breeches of
Shoddy*
The Washington correspondent of the Cla
rirnali Commercial titters the following proph
ecy concerning the difgraceful clothing with
wbici the Ohio troops were first provided;
■" “ Ohio need not be afraid of her reputation
suffering at their hands on the battle field."
Bat Ohio will never bear the lost of those
breeches—never. Before long, hundreds, of
the meet dilapidated specimens will be sent
heme as curiosities.' I advise all politicians
ic the State"to instantly divest themselves- of
all connection with those, breeches. Talk qf

Active movements of American
dents at Purls*
pTow York Times ‘Correspondence.]
\ j'- /T’ PimfcTaesdiy/May
At a meeting of American* called on abort
'notice at'the .rooms of Mr. Sandford, in this
city on Frida/ afternoon lost the sum- of sir*
‘thoaaand. r doßa» was subscribed to boy rifled
.cannon-of the French model, to- be used. la
• putting down rebellion against the American
union. The subscription naa been circulating
since, and now reaches the sum of nearly tea
thousand dollars. Men ol all parlies unite in
this'patriotic movement.
• It frnow understood that the French Gov
ernment, which controls all the arms manuf*c
cries- ol ihe'Emplio; wißuoroffer any oppa.:
sitlon to the purchase of these arms; it wiR
neither authorize nor prohibit such sales,
which Is aR we require. It is anticipated,
however, that in view of the sympathy which
Is'felt for the Government of Washington,
thatan official contract for arms may be made.
Under any clrenmatancea, plenty of arms may
be had, for.in Belgium and Prpasla, where the
largest-mannfec tori es' exist, the feeling Is
entirely for the North, and the mauufrstoriea,
which, unlike the American establishments,
mix a little politics with thelrlron, can bo en
gaged to work for the North, to the exclusion
ol the South. For example, l have just learned
that Krupp, the largest' and' perhaps best*
manufacturer of anus' in Europe, located at
E&sen, on tbe Rhine, Prussia, will moke such
an engagement for the asking, and he maun*
features nfled connonof the most approved
models. The sympathy of Prussla, and the
whole German nation, is thoroughly aroused
-on the subject of the American contest, and
scarcely a friend of tho South is to be found in
all Germany. The institution of slavery is
. regarded there as a remnant of barbarism, and
if foreign soldiers were needed to extirpate
tbe hideous system, plenty of regiments could
be recruited among the intelligent and milita
ry dosses of Germany.
We learn that frequent interviews have ta
ken place betwecnMr. Dayton and others of
thenew American Ministere,and M. Thouvend,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, and that the com
mercial intercourse between France and the
United States under the new state of thing?,
has been .the principal subject of conversa
tion. Most of tho trade, as every one knows,
is carried on by American vessels, which are
sow subject to privateering attacks, and the
French Government, alive to the interests of
its subjects, ,is naturally anxious to fix tho
’ line of action it is to follow. Moreover, no
war of the Second Empire has so seriously
disturbed the commercial interests of France
as this American civil war. for America took
i the most of the costly articles manufactured
in France, in the way of silks, cloths, and
other articles of luxury, and this trade has
now nearly ceased.
Judge Don&laa’s Successor*
[From tbe Bureau Co. Democrat.]
Already speculation is rife as to the success
or of Mr. Douglas in the U. S. Senate. The
vacancy will be filled with an appointee by the
Governor, We notice that the THiutJKEadTO
cates the appointment of a Democrat Such
a course, while nothing but fair, would be
magnanimous in Gov. Yates. If old party lam
will be restored, the appointment of a Demo
crat in Mr. Douglas’s place, would ultimate
In more benefit, than Injury to the BspubU
cons. We believe that a Democrat will be ap
pointed.
[From the Eocheiter (Ind.) Mercury.]
The Chicago Tribune Is in favor of the ap
pointment of a Douglas Democrat as the suc
cessor of the distinguished Senator. It falls
upon' Gov. Tates to make an appointment
until the Legislature fills the vacancy. We
are inclined to think the suggestion as good
as it Is generous. Only* let htm be as good a
Union man as Mr. Douglas, and the nation
will be content. The Republicans of IlUnoli
have the power to put a man of their own
party in the place, and are thus afforded an
opportunity of being magnanimous, and we
think it would have a good effect upon the
public sentiment of this Stale relative to the
duty of the people In the present contest.
Horrible Indian Hasaacro at Stela’s
Peak.
[From tbo Keallla Times, May IL]
An express reached Mcsilla on the evening
of the Bth, from the Western Division of the
Overland Mall route, bringing most appalling
intelligence and details of recent Indian out
rages in the neighborhood of Stein’s Peak,
Arizona. Cachuse, who was reported to have
been killed in Sonora, has returned with his
braves to the scene of his former operations,
determined to wage war to the knife.
' The comparative quiet of the last two
months has evidently been occasioned by the
absence of the Indians in some part of Mexi
co, where they have undoubtedly removed
their women and children, that they might be
Jn security while they carried on their war
fare. The unfortunate removal of the Over
land Mall at a time when a difficulty with
these Indians was rife, has no doubt served'
greatly to embolden the Indians—they un
doubtedly attributlngthc abandonment of the
route entirely to their forays.
• Nine men are missing, and, it is feared, have
all been massacred, although there exists a
hope that some of them may be retained os
prisoners. The savages inflicted upon some
of their victims a horrible torture, aud exhib
ited a refinement of cruelty unparalellcd in
the catalogue of Indian barbarities. The train
had been attacked the day previous, 10 miles
east of the Son Clmone station; the mules
had been stampeded: a running fight occurred
in pursuit of the Indians, In which ono Indian
was killed aud two mortally wounded, and all
the mules but IS recovered. The train reach
ed Stein’s Peak about dark.
They found scattered along fheravine news
papers and other mail matter, pieces of har
ness, &c. The roof of the station (which was
some time since abandoned) had been burned,
the corral wall had been thrown down, and
the Indians had formed a breastwork of It
around the spring. Near the station the bo
dies of two men were found, tied by the feet
to trees, their heads reaching within eighteen
inches of theground, thrlr onus extendej and
fastened to pickets, aud the evidence o! a elow
fire-under their beads. The bodies bad been
pierced with arrows end lances. They were
so disfigured as to render recognition impos
sible. Thfy.wcr® buried by the v employees of
the train. Fearing an attack from the Indians,
the train was immediately pushed ahead In the
night without being able to make further ex
aminations.
