TUESDAY, APRIL. 7,1503.
FI.ITFOBM AND CANDIDATE.
Is it not an anomaly—the late veto mes
sage, signed by Mayor Sherman, in wliich
he argues, not as the chief executive officer
of Chicago, hut as a member of the Dem
ocratic party ? As he thus proclaims that
he is acting for his constituents, only When
he can act in a partisan capacity, Trill it
not he well enough, in looking out for
his successor, to see to it that we have a
man whose views arc broad and generous
enough to comprehend the wants of this
municipality, regardless of party? Mr.
Sherman is a candidate for re-election; and
Trill account his message as a part of his
platform. We accept it as such, and define
its contents thus: Opposition to loyal gath
erings of loyal citizens for the purpose of
aiding the Government and sending words
of encouragement to our soldiers in the
field; and, 2d, Entire subserviency to what
the Democratic party demands. The can
didate is-just as broad as the platform.
Trot him out!
SPECULATION IN CHICAGO.
We see in Eastern papers frequent para
graphs to the effect that the mania for real 1
estate speculation is raging in Chicago to 1
-m extent unparalleled by the madness of 1
185 C and 1857. Such, fortunately for the
city, is not- the case. Tho movement in
real property here, owing partly to the in
creased volume of the currency, but mainly
to the increased confidence in the future of
Chicago, is active; hut it is confined for the
most part to persons who huyfor improve
ment and use, or for investment of surplus
funds. Prices have advanced and they are
still tending upward; hut of speculation
there is positively none. The transactions
thus larhave been for cash or its equivalent;
so, whatever the wisdom or folly of the
opinion upon which tho movement
is based, no consequences that can extend
beyond purchasers, will follow, because
there are no debts contracted. Large or
ders are here from New Tork, and New
England; and many men of substance in the
West, outside of Chicago, are getting each
Tnrm Hs comer lot which, in the language
of the day. is “salted down” as something
that, happen what may, will be sure to
keep. Wc have studied the situation with
a full knowledge of the madness that once
possessed the whole city, and with an inti
mate acquaintance with the hopes, and ex
pectations, which lie behind the advance
and the activity that we have noted; hut
wc are unable to see anything dangerous
or unhealthy in what is going on. The
city is every day increasing in popula
tion and wealth; business of all kinds is
active and flourishing, and the limit of
manufacturing enterprises and mercantile
ventures, is fixed only by the capital of
those who enter therein. Our people, mind
ful of the immense population—immense
and rapidly increasing—upon whose neces
sities the future growth and importance of
Chicago depend, sec no reason to doubt
that the advance in the city’s numbers, and
the consequent extension of its business,
Will be such as to make their predictions
good—that, in a word, in spite of the rebel
lion, our growth must continue. And they
arc undoubtedly right.
fIteGLELLAN AGAIN.
If every man in the North could read tho
report of the Committee of the House and
Senate on the Conduct of the war, evciy
allegation made against McClellan by those,
who,up to the time of that General’s remo
val, clamored for abetter officer in his place,
would he so proved that dispute over his
merit or demerit would be hereafter impos
sible. The nation, without dissent, would
agree that he is a traitor or a plunderer,
from whom the command ought to have
been wrested sixteen months ago. "We
Jiave a copy of the document before ns;
and after reading it attentively, and with a
pre-determination to find in it, if possible,
* pome justification or excuse for the wanton
and unnecessary delay; tho errors in
planning, and the want of promptness and
2eal in executing, for which he has been
arraigned before his countrymen, wo con
less that we can find only the most posi
tive, and at the same time the most mourn-
Jul, proofs that lie either did not intend to
light and disperse his enemies, or that he
was, with immense resources in his hands,
paralyzed hy his incapacity. And as we
cannot believe that the President, tho Cab
inet, many of tic officers of the army, and
nil his personal friends, were so grossly
mistaken in Ills capability, we arc impelled
to adopt the opinion, that while at the
head of the army, he sought and expected
peme other solution of the question at is
sue, between the North and the South,
than that which he ought to have
lound in the men at hishack. We believe,
in short, that he had hardly arrived in
Washington before he became a politician,
s nd that what he gained in that character
he lost as a General. He was undoubtedly
at once the victim and tho dupe
cf the peace party; and with com
mendable, and, as events have
proved, well warranted distrust of his
talent for victory, he sought the opportu
nity tocommcnd himself to his countrymen
ns a pacificator rather than a conqueror—
to coax the enemy back to loyalty and sub
mission, rather to exterminate them by
his aims. The cordiality with which ho
Was, and is yet, supported by all men who
are justly suspected of sharing the views
that we attribute to him; tho clamor made
hy them when he was removed, and their
extraordinary efforts to reinstate him; hia
own personal associations in tho army and
outride of it, confined almost wholly to
those who have no stomach for the fight,
are collateral but almost conclusive proofs
cf what we say. We have no need to tell
how miserably he failed, nor how inglo
rionsly he fell. The treasury to the amount
of hundreds of millions, the lives of tens of
thousands of our brave men, and the in
definite postponement of the triumph of
the righteous cause, are the fruits of his
campaigns.
The Deport of the Committee is a thick
pamphlet of near seventy pages, in fine
• type, far too lengthy for our columns. As
it should not he marred hy presenting a
part here and another there, ire suggest the
propriety of raising a fund for an edition
for circulation in the Northwest. The
facts slated, their reliability, their import
ance, and the impartiality with which they
are given, give the document permanent
historical value. It is the lamp by which
the path ahead may bo illumined, if the
Republic is willing to leam wisdom by ex
perience!
THE RESPONSIBILITY OF XITH
ALABAMA.
There can be no doubt in morals, what
ever there may he in law, that when the
Alabama left Liverpool Dock on the mem
orable 29th of July last year, the neutrality
of England was violated in respect to the
•war between the Federal Government and
the Southern rebels; and that she is re
. sponsible for oil the depredations which
have been committed by that vessel on the
D3gh Seas. , .
It was widely credited in England, as
well as in this country, that she was des
tined for the Confederate service, long be
ore she was launched from the builder’s
Blocks; and this current opinion and belief
was strengthened by the fashioning and
war-like appointments of the vessel itself
The attention of the English Government
was directed to it by 3lr. Adams as ,early
as June 23d, but Lord Russell—who has
the control of this Department by virtue
of his office —took no official notice of it,
■and treated iti,ndeed, with a hauteurwhich,
in private affairs, we should he apt to
Ihink amounted to downright insolence.
In the meanwhile jthc Alabama was last
iiringin olliier stately architecture, towards
' cmhpletion; amd afevr days would find
her ready and fully equipped for sea. Mr.
Collier, Queens Counsel, who was employ
ed by our Minister to argue the case with
the Law Advisers of the Crown, wrote to
* the American Embassy, that the Collector
of A would ur.cloub
culy incur a heavy responsibility, it’ he al
lowed the vest cl to leave the port, as lie
might legally do, it not otherwise instruct
ed by his government.
At this point, the government took the
responsibility out of the Collector's hands,
by commanding him no* to cxereiseihe pow
ers conferred upon him hy the Act; thus
clearing the way for the departure of the
privateer, and, in- a measure, sanctioning
it, the plea being all along that no absolute
proof existed, that she was being fitted out
for the rebels, by their order.
In this manner the thing was shuffled
over and winked at, hy the British Govern
ment, who wanted to show that they were
uncommonly conscientious on the occasion,
until the 22d of July, when Mr. Adams
placed in Lord Russell’s hands, the affi
davit of ‘William Passmore, an English
seaman, who swore that he had been en
gaged by Captain Butcher of the Alabama
to fight for the Southern Confederacy.
There was no mistake now, at all events,
about the character and ownership of the
vessel; and William Passmore furnished
the “ absolute proofs” which the Govern
ment had so stubbornly demanded all
through the controversy.
But so loth were they to act against the
Confederates, and deprive them of this
powerful aim of service, that they talked
and slept over it until the 29th, the very
day that the Alabama took her leave of
Liverpool without ship’s papers. So bare
faced an act of deceit and complicity was
too much to attempt palming off on the
English people and the world, without an
apology of some sort, and Lord Russell
pleaded as an excuse for his delay, that the
Queen’s Counsel was sick, and that he did
not choose to act without-the legal advice
of that high functionary.
That the whole transaction was a public
fraud, and a violation of the law of nations
|we have no doubt whatever; and the sub
sequent action of the Government, for
bidding the Alabama to take shelter In
English ports, was a miserable plaster
for the treachery which had been perpe
trated.
We could point to the history of our
own country and show with triumph, and
to the shame and confounding of these
British boasters of their honor and love of :
fair play—that the government of this
Bepuhlic was too great, and respected it
self 100 highly to do a deed of this sort, or
Buffer it to he done without rebuke and
condemnation. When Citizen Genet made
use of the American ports, as the Confed
erates did of the English, Mr, Jefferson,
then Secretary of State, (1793) denounced
him in the strongest language. “It would
have been proper respect to the authority
of this country,” he said, “ had that been
consulted before these arm aments were un
dertaken.”
Jeff Davis did not ask British leave to
build his pirate, and Britain did not feel
insulted thereby— - which, would he curious
enough, and altogether unprecedented, if
she were not quite friendly to Jeff., and did
not heartily wish him and his miserable
rebels a hearty God speed I
The lime will come when England will
have to foot a little bill on account of the
Alabama, which she will not altogether
like to pay. Nor is it the ravages of this
pirate alone, which will be brought against
her for liquidation, if not in pounds, shil
lings and pence, then in the coinage of
that dreadful Nemesis which is the judge
and the avenger of nations.
Not a mail arrives from Europe which
does not bring intelligence of gunboats be
ing built in English dock-yards for the reb
els. And to-day we have news that
a whole fleet of such is preparing for
their service in the same country. It is
monstrous for England to talk about her
neutrality in this war, whilst she allows
onr enemy to arm himself on her shores,
and supplies him with all the munitions of
war which he can smuggle into his ports.
Avowed and open hostility would be infi
nitely better than this sneaking, canting,
hypocritical pretence of friendly relations
towards ns—infinitely braver, also, for
England to adopt, and more in consonance
with her old traditions and history.
She Copperheads.
Mrs. Moone,and her daughter Minno Moouc,
from Hamilton, Ohio, and relatives of Judge
James Clark, the leading Copperhead of But
ler county, of the most malignant persuasion,
“were arrested in Cincinnati on Friday, on
hoard the steamer Jennie Denny, just as they
•were about to leave for Memphis, under a
strong suspicion that they had in their posses
sion contraband goods for the rebels. When
the ladies were confronted by the officer, and
dunged with hearing letters and contraband
goods to the rebels, they sternly denied it,
saying that this was all prejudice and spite
against them, merely because they were rela
ted to Judge Clark, but the officer told them
they would have to disgorge. Finding there
was no alternative, and that they were fairly
caught, the young lady collapsed, and deliver
ed her precious charge. She had concealed
upon her person from twenty-five to fifty let
ters, addresled to sundry Colonels, Captains,
Majors, &c., in the rebel army; and in a huge
bustle, or sack, fastened to her. person, she
had forty bottles of morphine, seven pounds
of opium and a quantity of camphor, all of
which was taken possession of by Mr. Rose,
In the name of “Uncle Sam.” After the
young lady was caught, she got on tho ram
poge, and shouted for Jeff. Davis in the most
beautiful style. The ladies, together with tho
correspondence, were handed over to the cus
tody of the military authorities, to bo dealt
with according to the rules and regulations in
tuch cases made and provided.

says the TravdUr t from St. Johns, N. 8., an
nouncing that crowds of young men are daily
arriving at various parts ot the British Prov

tho impending draft. One steamer arrived
with two hundred passengers, and another
with six hundred. There is no employment
for them at present in the Provinces, and un
less they arc provided with the means to live,
they will find it necessary to return to this
country.
tsf The Louisville Journal says that a Mas
sachusetts regiment was sent to Paris, Ky.,
recently, and after remaining there a week or
so, Gen. Burnside ordered it to duty else
where. During their stay, the conduct ol the
volunteers was so decorous and their disci
pline so perfect that they excited the admira
tion of our Parisian friends, who requested the
General commanding the Department of the
Ohio to have them remain, but the exigencies
of the service would not permit the request
to he granted.

’'lVnj-JiitijftoiiV Oripnnl Sen?.
We have the pleasure to announce that tho
seal o> Washington, In general use by him
•while living, and ‘Which has long been missed
from the known memorials of the “ Father of
his Country,” is at length discovered.
The following letter was recently received
by the Chicago Historical Society, from 8. A.
Washington, esq., of Middleport, Illinois,
who obligingly forwarded several Impressions
on was of tho original seal, to bo preserved
in the Society’s collections.
The description of the seal of .Washington,
as given by Lossing, in his work entitled
“Mount Vernon and Its Associations,"lsa
shield, surmounted by a ducal coronet, over
which is the figure of a raven, the shield
hearing on the superior part three spur-row
els (resembling stars), under which are two
bars. The shield is encircled cither by a
wreath, or tho family motto, “Exiiw acta
proftaf.”
Mr, Lossing has given two impressions of
Washington’s seal, bearing his family arms—
one as attached to the death-warrant of a sol
dier executed at Morristown, in 1780; the
other of his “ seal-ring.” The first bears the
“wreath,” without the “motto;” the sec
ond, tho “motto,” without tho “wreath.”
The seal from which the impressions now
sent to the Historical Society were made,
hears both the wreath and the motto. Tho
original from which these Impressions were
made, is evidently in good preservation; and
it is gratifying to know that it is in existence,
and in the custody of a member of tho Wash
ington family, a citizen of Illinois.
Mr. Washington, the fortunate possessor of
this most interesting memento of our great
national benefactor, Ims been for many years,
*swc learn, a resident of Middleport, in this
State, engaged in the legal profession, and
has proved his loyalty alike to our country
and to the memory of its illnstrions leader in
the great struggle for American Independ
ence, by his patriotic devotion to tho Union
during the present war for its maintenance
and preservation.
At the first call of the President for the
three months volunteers, he raised a company
in Iroquois county, with which he proceeded
to Cairo. His oldest son, the probable inher
itor of the family honors, as ho himself in-
forms us, is still in the army. God he thanked
that the Washington family in Illinois hare
no traitors, hut arc all true to the name
never sullied hy him who horo it, unrivalled
in human history, and yet, we trust, to be
handed down with undivided honor, .hy the
undivided land, whoso liberty and independ
ence he achieved.
Mr. "Washington is entitled to the thanks of
the people of this State, in thus making onr
Historical Society the depository of these
eacred mementoes of onr country’s greatest
benefactor—“ first in war, first in peace, and
first-in the hearts of his countrymen.’*
The following is Mr. Washington’s commu
nication to the Society:
Middlsrort, Illinois, March 10,1663.
To the President of the Historical Society, Chicago:
Bear Sir : Some year or two ago (If my mem
ory serves me) I recollect of noticing that Edward
Everett, in a number of hla “Mount Vernon
Papers,” mentioned the (supposed) fact that the
private seal and coat of arms of General George
Washington, was cither lost to history or with
some member of the family.
The seal and coat of arms of the Washington
family, and worn by General Washington, and
with which be scaled both his private and official
correspondence, is not lost, hat is in my posses
sion, and highly esteemed as an heir-loom, and
been possessed by me for thirty-two years, and Is
now in my possession, several impressions of
which I send yon, which yon are at liberty to place
in your Society's cabinet. They were made hy me
from the original seal, a few days since, together
with others, which I desire to send to the Honora
ble Edward Everett and George Bancroft.
The seal was left to the late Judge Busbrod
Washington, of Mount Vernon, who left the same
to my father, the late Busbrod Washington, junior,
the then nearest relative of the name, who, on his
death, in 1831, left the same to me, his oldest son,
with whom it has ever since remained, and been
preserved as a future gift to my oldest son, Bush
rod D. Washington, now in tho army, should ho
survive me.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
S. A. Washington,
Negro Troops,
The Washington correspondent of tho New
Torn Commercial Advertiser, says it is under
stood that no more authorization will be given
to raise negro troops in the free States
as it is believed that there are not any
more available men than will be needed to fill
existing organizations. But other Generals
will follow the plans of Gen. Uliman, and or
ganize the officers of skeleton brigades, the
men to be recruited at the South. While on
this topic, the following letter may not be un
interesting, as showing that tho employment
of slaves in the armies of the revolution was
approved by some of tho wisest statesmen,
and tho first soldiers of that glorious epoch:
“Providence. Feh. 23,1778.
“Sib: I have been favored with your Ex
cellency’s letter of the 3d inst., inclosing a
proposal, made to you by Gen. Vamum,?or
recruiting the two continental battalions
raised by this State, (Rhode Island).
“ I laid the letter before the General Assem
bly, at their session on the second Monday in
this month, who, considering the pressing ne
cessity of filling up tho continental army, and
the peculiarly difficult circumstances of this
State, which rendered it in a manner impossi
ble to reemit our battalions in any other way,
adopted the measure. Liberty isgivento every
effective slave to enter the service during tho
• war; and, upon bis passing muster, he is ab
solutely made free, and entitled to all the
wages, bounties, aud encouragements given
by Congress to any soldier enlisting into their
service. The masters arc allowed at the rate
of £l2O for the most valuable slave, and in
proportion for those of less value. The num
ber of slaves in this Slate is not great, but it
is generally thought that three hundred aud
upwards will be enlisted.
“ I am, with great respect, sir, your Excel
lency’s most obedient, humble servant,
Nicholas Cooke.
“ To Gen. Geobob Washington.”
Xho Now “Obstruction Kc-
mover.”
Capt. Ericsson’s new “Obstruction Re
mover,” or “Devil,” four of which machines
were recently started for Port Royal, only one,
however, reaching its destinatfon, the remain
der being lost in a gale, Is admirably adapted
to the protection of our vessels against torpe
does. Aconlemporary describes the “Devil”
as follows:
An iron frame, floated to the water’s edge
by iron sponsors, is pushed ahead of tue
Monitor as she runs in. Its length, from the
bow of the Monitor, is from twenty to thirty
feet. An aperture is made next to the vessel
of the shape of her bows, intended to receive
it. The breadth of the “ Obstruction Remo
ver,” as it is called, is twelve feet. From each
side of the extremity a strong iron bar or
shaft runs down also twelve feet, the Monitor
drawing but from eight to ten feet of water,
thus rendering it imposslblefor any torpedoes
over which the “Obstruction Remover”
passes to .injure the vessel. A number of iron
bars arc used, not only to form a net work so
to cither push forward or explode every tor
pedo less than twelve feet under water, bnt
also to strengthen and steady the masts. At
the bottom a heavy tie-bar unites these two
vertical rods, upon which rests the percussion
torpedo, containing 700 pounds of powder.
Above this a hammer which catches in a
spring so stiff as to require two men to set it,
but constructed so that the lever which pro
trudes in front, forming the handle or other
end of the hammer, will cause the spring to
give with little pressure. This is to remove
‘‘piles.”
The experiments made upon this machine
in New York have demonstrated the. fact that
it is a complete success; and an amount of
lewder greater than has ever been proposed
for any torpedo before, caused no injury to
the vessel, and indeed, did not disturb any of
tho ties of the “ Devil.” It will bo readily
seen that under no circumstances can any
strain be given to the Monitor, for supposing
the apparatus to be destroyed, as it floats inde
pendent of the Monitor, supporting itself, the
worst that can happen is its loss.
A Harrow Choice.
Application was recently made to a gentle
man in Boston, who Is in the habit of answer

try town. The correspondence, if somewhat
profane, is laconic, thus;

“Dear Sir; There arc numerous lecturers

THE INDIAN* PBISOKEBS.
Twenty or thirty of the prisoners at Man
kato, have authorizedßev. S.R. Riggs, to take
their medicine bags and war spears, now with
their friends at Fort Snelllng, and destroy or
dispose of them, as he may see proper. Prizing
as they do these articles, this is thought to be
an evidence that they are sincere, at least for
the present, in their renunciation ot Paganism,
and resolutions for a change in their manner
oflifo. Nearly all of thorn have beenbaplizedi
either by the Catholic or Protestant clergymen
who visit them. They spend a great deal of
time in reading Dakata books, and In writing
letters to their friends. Mr. Riggs on his re
turn a few days ago, brought with him not
less than 500 letters. Many of the prisoners
are making rapid progress In learning to read
and write the Dakata language.
Their letters which are read by MaJ, Brown
before they are sent, arc most of them brief,
and generally state that the writer “is well
cared for and well fed, is in good health, has
been baptized and joined the church, says his
prayers three times a day, and has taken the
sacrament,” together with various items of
prison life, and Mr. Riggs says that the state

Cairo, April B.—From an eye witness and
a citizen of the town of Elizabethtown, Har

ticulars of a fearful tragedy enacted over a
week ago. Elizabethtown, the county seat of
Bardin county, is situated on thebanksoftho

country people were In town. Amongst the

They belonged to % family of bullies who
have been a terror to the neighborhood for
several years, and who have made a livelihood
by running down and catching or killing run
away net roes from Kentucky. Each runa
way caught would, when taken hack to his
master, pay them from one to three
hundred dollars. I hardly need tell you they
were thoroughly eecesh, and that their
hate was about equally divided between
“niggers” and “Abolitionists.” On the day
referred to, a soldier from the 291h Illinois
happem din town. He had been taken pris
oner in Tennessee and paroled, and was then
on his way to St. Louis to report. I regret
that X could not learn his name. As soon as
the Belfords got sight of his uniform they
resolved on mischief None of Uncle Sam’s
hoys should peacefully breathe the same
atmosphere with them. They dogged his
footsteps, and damned “the Abolitionists”
in his hearing. At length one of them asked
him what his principles were. Well, he said,
he did not know as his principles wore dif
ferent, materially, from other men’s. He said
lie was for his country, his God and himself.
They then snccriogly told himhe belongedto
the “d—d Abolition army,” and they sus
pected he was a “ d—d Abolitionist” himself,
and they “ could whip any eon of a who
belonged to old Abe’s army.” The soldier
seeing that these fellows were thirsting for
his blood, and that the odds were against him
In case of a fight, evaded a direct issue as
much as possible. After a little more talk in
the same strain os above, one of the Belfords
openly charged him with being an Aboli
tionist, to which he repllsd, “ You are a
liar.” At this the Belfords out with their
knives and plunged at him. He dodged them,
and seizing a hatchet that came in his way,
felled them to the earth. One of them died in
a few hours after, and the other was at the
point of death when last heard from.
These feels were presented to the grand
jury, then in session, and the soldier was
fully justified, while the dying desperadoes
were indicted. The case, however, is likely to
be tried in a higher court than that sitting in
HardhL county.
A Sensation in Canada*
They have got a veritable “ sensation” in
Canada—one, too, that they nurse with a
mother’s care. Wo published the fact a few
weeks since, that at a ball given in London,
Canada West, in honor of Frinco Albert’s
wedding, Mr. Cormick, the Mayor of that
cily, while drunk and in tho presence of la
ladies, grossly assaulted Col. Bowles, in com
mand of the military of that station. The
matter came first before tho Police Court, and
then the Common Council of London, each
ot which failed to properly reprobate tho
evil conduct of the intoxicated Mayor. The
matter then into tho keeping of Sir Fen
wick Williams, Commandcr-in-Chief, who
lectures tho Londoners seriously for their
neglect to “ wipe out” tho delinquent func
tionary. He says:
“The commander of tho forces con-
slders it imperatively his duty officially
through you to protest against the conduct of
the Mayor and the majority of the Magistrates
and Council ot London further Ills Excel
lency feels himself iu duty bound to take
such steps as will prevent officers serving un
der his command from being subject or Sable
to such treatment in tbc future, and as some
individuals arc so constituted by nature, that
they are without any sense or knowledge of
right or wrong, of honor or justice, until it
reaches their sense or understanding through
their pockets; and as His Excellency under
stands that the constituents and the’electors
of the majority of tho Aldermen and Council,
who uphold and defend the conduct of tho
Chief Magistrate ot London, are those who
chiefly benefit In a pecuniary manner by tho
large mili'aiy force now stationed in London,
it is some satisfaction to His Excellency to
inform the City Connell and their constitu
ents, that it is hit intention to remove tho
military from London on the first opportuni
ty, or on a reduction ot the forces in Canada.
The newspaper press in Canada generally
take sides against SirFcnwick’sproclamallon,
and they lampoon him without mercy.
A Southern monarchy Proposed.
[Paris Cor. of the Louisville Journal.]
I bare received from a friend intimately con*
nccted with the French court, information to
the effect that seventy-three of tho leading
men of the South, Including Jeff. Davis, the
members of his cabinet, many Senators, and
Gens. Toombs and Wise, have sent a letter to
the Emperor urging on him a speedy recognl
lion of the South. The missive is da*ed No
vember 2.1563, and offers the following in
ducements to Napoleon:
Ist. That it was the intention of the leaders
cf the South (which intention, however, was
to be kept secret until the war was over), so
soon as their independence was declared to
establish a nobility in the South before their
army was disbanded. Hint tho poor whites
or non-slaveowners who would help them
fight and conqnertheirindependence, so soon
as a nobility is established and they are left
free to act. will emigrate North and leave
only the noble and his slave, constituting the
firmest nobility, because the peasant wUI be
the property of the noble, while the
line* of demarcation between them
will he that of color and race.
That their ability so to establish a nobility
cannot be doubtful, when it is well known
that the leaders of the South had forced this
war and established the present Confederacy
in opposition to a majority of every State.
2d. That it is the*luty of France, as of other
monarchies, to encourage nobility and dis
courage Democracy.
Bd. That in accordance with the above in
tention they (these seventy-three) designed to
.secure (or had secured), I forgot which, a
re-modcling of their conscript law, so as to
exempt ana preserve for their future Confed
eracy as many slaveowners or future nobles
as possible.
Yours, &c,”
Kow Gen* Sumner Entered the
Army.
[From the Springfield Republican.]
Gen. Sumner when a young man was a
stage driver among the Berkshire hills, and
this is how he happened to get Into the army:
At a time in winter when the roads were dan
gerous, going down a steep hill, the stage
slewed and turned over, but tho horses kept
on. One of the passengers pushed out of tho
door on the upper side of the coach and
climbed npon the dox and attempted to take
the reins from Scunner’s hands. “You let the
reins alone or I’ll throw you offl” said the
driver, with determination. The passenger
wisely abandoned his attempt at interference,
and Sumner guided the team firmly till it was
safe to stop them, dragging the overturned
coach along, and so saved passengers and
team. The passengerwho attempted to take
the .reins was Gen. "Worth. ; He was so im
pressed with young Sumner’s sterling quali
ties that ho cultivated his acquaintance and
Induced him to Join the army, and the cool
and determined driver made an intrepid com
mander.
“Me Maryland IHdc” a I’-ilse
Prophet*
[From tie Nashville Union, of the £d.]
On the Uth day of last December, one Rich
ard Merritt, (this means “Me Maryland” Dick
Merrick.) made a speech before the Young
Men’s Democratic Club, of Chicago, which
was so well liked “by his auditors, that they
scattered copies of It by thousands over the
country, and sent multitudes of them to the'
armies of the Mississippi and the Cumber
land. In that speech Mr. Js fcrrltt makes the
following bold prediction in reference to the
Emancipation Proclamation:
“Men of Illinois, on the Ist day of January,
if the President, accomplishing the act which
is to give effective operation to this decree,
designates the States in which it shall apply,
there is not a man In those states who will not
fly to arms. Mothers will give up their chil
dren to the battle, and the cold blood of worn
oat age, fired by this accursed measure, will
flow again with the restless ardor of youth,
and the legions of the rebellion will advance
a power yon cannot subdue, except at tbccost
of your own and your country’s rain. With
the objects announced in this proclamation as
the avowed purpose of the war, the South
cannot be subdued, and ought not to be sub
dued.”
This prediction was re-echoed and reaffirm-
Ed by the conservative press generally. The*
proclamation they all agreed, wonld make the
South “a unit against the government.”
Three months have elapsed since the publica
tion of the proclamation, and what has been
the result? Has not Mr. Jferriti'a prophecy
tilled signally ? We do not know of oneloyal
man in Nashville whose fidelity to the cause
of the Union, has been shaken in consequence
of the proclamation. We do not believe there
is one instance among us, of a Union man
havingjoined the enemy since the Ist of Jan
uary, we have not seen or heard the slightest
evidence that the rebels throughout the whole
South have gained a single convert. On the
contrary, we have been assured by many intel
ligent, loyal refugees, slaveholders themselves,
Who nave escaped from Georgia, Alabama,
and those portions of this State which arc
within the rebel lines, that not one loyal man
of their acquaintance has watered in his faith.
The prediction of Mr. 2fcrri(t, fathered no
doubt by a wish, bas been signally falsified,
and we may add, disappointed. We have heard
many intelligent slaveholders, refugees from
various counties in East and Middle Tennes
see express deep regret that the State was ex
empted in the proclamation. The loyalty of
the Union men of the South is made of nobler
stuff than such men as JTtrritt suppose, who
act and speak on the supposition that the pat
riotism of the Southern Unionists will last
until their property is touched, and no longer.
We tell these Northern Copperheads that we
love the Union for its free, enlightened, and
progressive institutions. We had rather be
queath a good and stable government to our
children, than leave them the inheritance of
all the splendid plantations of Middle Tennes
see, with all its negroes for their bondsmen.
We fight for freedom. We light for nation
ality. We light for justice ana humanity. If
other patriots can afford to give up their sons
as a sacrifice to the Union, the loyal men of
the South can afford to give up their negroes.
JL Belie oft lie Battle of Arkan

[From the Springfield Journal, 3d.]
At the State House In this city may he seen
an object of deep interest, inasmuch as it calls
to mind the bravery and triumph of our
troops in the war lor the Union. It is a Par
rott rifled gun, captured at Arkansas Post by
the forces under General McClemand. The
neee b?pra evidence of service, the muzzle
laving been
tered by a cannon shot from our baiterlcS du
ring the battle which resulted so gloriously
for our cause. This relic has been sent by
Gen. McClemand to Gov. Tates on behalf of
the State of Illinois, and it will long be viewed
with interest as a memento of one of the most
important victories of the war by all who
take pride in the valor displayed by Illinois
troops in that memorable engagement.
Accompanying the piece Gov. Tates re
ceived the following:

,\ “Mystery;’ in Toronto*
[From the Toronto (C. W.) Globe 4th.]
Among the refugees who fled from the
Southern or rebel States of America and took
up their quarters in Toronto about twelve
monthsago, were a Mr. and Mrs. Dean. The
gentleman, who is by profession a lawyer,
rented a small cottage on Gearard street, be?
tween Yonge and Elizabeth streets, where ho
has been living quietly with his wife and lit
tle daughter, fdr the past few months. On
Tuesday last, two well dressed young women
called at the house, and inquired if Mr. Dean
was at home. .Receiving a reply in the nega
tive from Mrs. Dean, they stated that they
would call again, and left-. Last evening, one
of the young women returned to the cottage
and made a similar inquiry, when the reply
was that Mr. Dean was at home, and the
young woman was requested to step Inside the
house. This she declined to do, and expressed
a wish that Mr. Dean should come out to her.
As the street door opened into the
trout room, he came to the door accompa
nied by Mrs. Dean, and the young wo
man, on his making his appearance, immedi
ately shouted out “ That is my husband.”
The words were hardly out of her mouth
when she drew a six barrelled revolver from
under her shawl or cloak, and commenced
firing at Mrs. Dean, The first bullet went
over her and the second and third
lodged in the door. Mrs. Dean fell back in a
fainting fit, and the desperate woman dis
charged her fourth barrel through the win
dow. Mr. Dean took hold of her and
walked oifa short distance In the direction of
Elizabeth street, but, strange to say, he
allowed her to return, and finding the door
open, she fired her fifth and six bullets into
the room where Mrs. Dean was sitting, but
without hilling her. She then left, and, it is
believed, rejoined Mr. Dean a short distance
off. The police hearing of the a flair, Consta
ble McHenry was detailed to make a search,
but up to a late hour he was unable to find
any trace of either Mr. Dean or the woman.
Shortly before midnight Mrs. Dean received a
note from her husband that he had gone off
with the woman, but not to be uneasy about
him as ho would soon return. The whole af £
fair is envQjoped in mystery, hut to day tho
police may he able to throw some light on it.
Tlic Came of Judge Constable.
[From the Springfield Journal, 4th]
Judge C. H. Constable, of the 4th Judicial
Circuit of this State,arrested some time since at
Marshall, Clark county, by order of General
Wright, was brought to this city from India
napolis, on Thursday, in charge of the Deputy
United States Marshal of theTMstrict of Indi
ana, and transferred to the custody of tho
United States Marshal of the Southern District
of Illinois. An afiidavit was filed in the office
of United States Commissioner Comeau by
John McFarland, Sergeant in tho SUt regi
ment Indiana volunteers, charging Judge
Constable with a violation of the laws of the
United States, in Interfering to prevent the
arrest of deserters,andprocuring and inciting
soldiers to desert, on which tho prisoner was
brought before the Commissioner by the
United States Marshal. The examination of
the case was set by agreement for nest Tues
day, the prisoner,* in the meantime, being re
leased on his parole. The case will come up
for trial before Judge Treat. *
Messrs. Stuart, Edwards and Brown for the
prisoner, and Mr. Weldon for the Government.
Statistics of Volunteers.
[From the Washington Chronicle, 31st.]
One of the appropriations of the last Con
gress, under the head of the War Department,
was for the compilation of a statistical and
historical register of the volunteer forces call
ed into the service of the United States du
ring the present rebellion, with a view to fu
ture publication. The Secretary of War has
appointed to this work Mr. George B. Smith
of Illinois, whose fitness for the important
trust has been already demonstrated in the
West. Last year, as Aid-de-camp to the Gov
ernor of Illinois, ho published a complete
hand-book of Western regiments, and he
brings to the discharge ol the present labors
a valuable training as editor and statistician,
with the careful results of a year wholly de
voted to this object In his hands the wort
cannot fail of that success which it deserves.
Railroad Convention in New
York.
[From the N. T. Herald, April 3.]
A Convention of the managers of the prin
cipal lines of Railroads in the United States,
was held at the St. Nicholas Hotel yesterday.
Hon. Erastus Corning, of tho New York Cen
tral, was appointed President, and* John
Campbell and J. T. Baker, Secretaries.
A committee was appointed to prepare and
reports time-table for the spring and summer
months. At the evening session the commit
tee presented their report, from which it ap
pears that, on and after Monday, the 20th
mat., three trains will leave New York for
the Wet each day—at 7a. ni., 10a. m. and 5
&m. Trains from the East will arrive in
ew York at 0:45 p.m. and 10.15 a. m. The
Clncinirti express, leaving at, 7 a, m. will ar
rive In New York at 2 p. m.
gf A, Union officer,'haring advertised for
apartments, received through the office the
following reply, written In a female hand:
Seeing your notice in tho paper desiring a
nice front room, with hoard, in a private
family, I, having a good cow-house for rent,
fronting on the alley, and well famished, well
ventilated, and smells just like a Yankee abo
litionist, mti accommodate yon.
The writer also desired that application
should be made to a well known clergyman of
the city, thus adding forgery to a mean effort
at insult. Tho woman who penned tho scrawl
may occupy a cow-houso, for, from this ex
pression of her milk of human kindness, she
must have fed ou rebel swill of the filthiest
kind, and it lias penetrated her brain. Such
vaccine virus is disgraceful to her “or any
udder woman.” —Louisville Journal.
Coals of lire on tlic Copper*
licud*.
[From the Ottawa Republican, 4th.]
We learn that Father Terry, the C.itholic
Priest of this city, has taken occasion on one
or two Sundays past to lecture his congrega
tion a little, in support of the right of ne
groes to peaceably walk the streets, without
molestation from Irishman. He reminded
them that the human race all have one origin
—that negroes have souls and may go to Hea
ven, and u an Irishman should go there, he
might find some negro saint oenpying a high
er seat than himself. These remarks took well
with aportion of the congregation; but some
of the negrophoblsts have been in high dud
geon ever since, and report says they swear
terrible things against their spiritual adviser,
declaring that he shall not stay in Ottawa. In
this however they will have to back down,
lor the high estimation in whichFatbcr Terry
is held by his Society, aa well as by commu
nity generally, places him out of the reach of
a few malignant copperhead Knights of the
Golden Circle. We notice that his remarks to
the negro hitters has had a salutary effect, as
the negroes have not been molested since.
Father Terry Is worth twice as much to the
city osall the police, in the way of preventing
rows in the streets. We trust that he will
continue his good work.
Opening of the Canals.— lt is rumored
that the Canal Board propose to open the ca
nals for navigation on or about the 22d of
April. Of the capacity of the canal fleet for
ISC3, the Rochester Union gives the following
statement, based on an actual survey recently
made. There are now building at various
points In this State, 214 boats, which will bo
ready for launching on the opening of naviga
tion? These boats will average in capacity
200 tons, thus adding 42,000 tons to the carry
ingcapacity of the fleet.
There were 4,185 boats, good, bad and in
different afloat at the close of navigation last
fall, and with the new will make a total of
3,309, Something over 2,000 of these boats
are suitable for carrying grain—justhow many
is a matter of question.
If each of these 2,000 grain boats makes
eight round trips in the season, and carries a
cargo of two hundred tons, the total amount
movedwould be 3,200,000 tons, over one hun
dred millions of bushels of wheat.
