SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12.1803.
STEADY NOW, PARSON.
If the acts of Parson Brownlow, now
that he is in Bast Tennessee, are made to
correspond to the ferocity of his words,
when he was in the North, and if he is
supported by any considerable number of
his friends and adherents, our militaiy
commanders will need to put a curb on his
desires, lest they inaugurate in that strick
en country a system of bloody revenges
that will react with terrible power upon
the Union cause. It we know the Parson,
he will clamor for striking out right and left;
and, as it is historically true that “ preach
ers of peace” are in time of<3vfl commo
tion, in which they arc personally em
broiled, notorious lor the merdlessness of
their recommendations, *he will probably
strike with memorable and bloody
effect Doubtless he and his friends have
provocations that would inflam* the blood
and raise the. hand of the angels
who incessantly chaunt “Good will
to menand doubtless too, there are a
thousand red-handed scoundrels in the
Parson’s many parishes in that country,
who richly deserve the death that the
hangman inflicts; but if they hare now
submitted, let the courts be appealed to,
and the law, which knows no revenge
have its way. We nowhere want to see
or record in behalf of the Union or its
friends the bloody lawlessness and strife
by which the enemy reduced East Ten
nessee to subjection. Murder unpunished,
theft flaunting its ill-gotten gains in open
day, torture of the unoffending lor which
no reparation has ever been made, and the
general diabolism which was inflicted
upon the Tennessee Unionists, and which
embraced outrage upon aged men and
helpless women and the death of little
children, cry out with terrible fierceness
for a holocaust in which the murderers,
robbers and miscellaneous ruffians who
lately were a terror to every household,
shall be included; and we care not how
swift and stem the penalties that‘may be
inflicted upon the instigators of, and prin
cipal actors in, the deplorable tragedies In
which our friends have suffered. But the
country will demand that private hate,
however just, shall be subordinated to
public policy, and that vengeance shall
not,‘either in it* forms or victims, overstep
the bounds fixed by the law. Our caution
may be unnecessary, but we know so well
what the Unionists have endured from the
untamed and unlicensed ferocity of the
miscreants whom slavery has used for its
purposes; and wc hare so often listened to
the recitals of the sufferers, who, with
clenched hands and flashing eyes, vowed
before Heaven the execution of threats in
which mercy had no share, that we trem
ble to think what tcryble scenes a little
laxity of discipline or want of firmness of
purpose on the part of the commander in
Knoxville, may cause to be enacted. And
we know too how poor words become
and bow shabby reason is, when addressed
to a man whose lather has been shot down
before his eyes, or whose children have
been brained against the door-posts of their
home, or whose wife has been cruelly out
raged in his absence, and wbo for two
years has ceaselessly brooded over his
wrongs; we know how his brain would
grow hot, and how fiercely he would dash
himself against all restraints when his en
emy stood before him,or within lusreach;
and we can pardon while we condemn that
just anger that has so long fed itself with
day-dreams of rivers of blood. Those
Tennessee regiments and two or more from
Kentucky are made up of men who have
lerrible accounts with their disloyal neigh
bors, that are not yeti)alanced; and if they
are not more than human in their power
lo forgive, they will attempt to administer
an their own way, the penalties that their
persecutors have earned. It is against
that attempt that we protest. If necessa
ay, fill the prisons, set the courts at their
work, and let the hangman do his duty;
if politic, let terror be so inaugurated
among evil doers that not ji rebel scoun
drel in all the South shall be able to stand
firm in his shoes; but let the law and jus
tice preside over aIL Strike, not as mur
derers, but in the open day, and by the
impulsions and through forms that all men
will recognize, and that all men will de
fend!
WHO BUDSt
We have already chronicled in these col
umns the panic which lately seized the
Canadas, consequent upon the announce*
jnent of Mr, T. PlArcy McGee, that one
hundred thousand blue jackets were pre
paring to march upon Montreal; and our
readers will not fail to remember the pite
ous whine for help set up by the Canadian
papers. Well, the answer has come semi
officially through the London Time*, and
a consoling one it must be to tbe Canucks.
The Time* says:
If the Canadians are really afraid of the aggres
sion of the Federal*, and really anxious to avoid
its consequences, they must prepare to defend
them scire*. 80 long as they are heartily and
thoroughly desirous to remain a part of our em
pire, so long we shall he heartily desirous to keep
them. If they should ever change their minds,
and wish to he independent, they need have no
fear of our perpetrating the useless and bloody
experiments of our ancestors with the United
States and of the Federal with the Confederate
Elates. We shall let them go with regret, indeed,
hat without resistance. ■
If a barnacle could be. indignant, we
Should suppose our Canadian neighbors
Would reach that frame of mind upon pe
rusing this answer to their appeal Ad
vised to defend themselves, when they can
not muster an army which could cope for
a single day with the Fedorals; granted
permission to become independent, when
they cannot remain as a fraction of a pow
erful kingdom without asking for a prince
to govern them; and lastly consigned in
directly to a country which don't want
them, as they are of no practical benefit
except for the consumption of narrow
biimmcd hats 1 Thus stand the Canadas.
In the market for sale to any purchaser
desirous of investing in cast-off goods!
L’Arcy McGee, the Toronto Leader, Yal-
Xandigham and all their stumpy acres put
up at vendue by the London Time*! Who
takes them ? They are going dog cheap.
TWO FACE* CM)£B OJVE HAT.
At Inst the British aristocracy and the
Loudon Timet admit to the fullest extent,
•which we ourselves should care to claim,
that the United States of America is a first
(dues Military Power; and that it has
proved its right to this high honor and
distinction on a hundred battle fields, and
on as many salt and fresh waters, during the
lust two years and a half. Long in com
ing, this tardy' justice has been done to* os
I*l last. TVe confess that we rejoice at it
Rot that wc care a dime for the opinion,
good or bad, either of the aristocracy of
Great Britain or that of the Timet news,
paper, and thundcrcr, hot because this
confession has been extorted from these
“peculiarinstitutions” by the undoubted
valor of the Federal troops and the per
sistency of our warlike strategy.
So long as there was a doubt about the
success of our aims the benefit of that
doubt was given to the rebels, and no op
portunity was lost to insult and malign the
armies of the Republic. Every loss which
we sustained was trumpeted to Europe,
and to the world, as one more proof of our
jnilitaiy in competency—one more argu
ment of the physical sort, that we could
never conquer the rebels, and a proof that
wc must in the end succumb to them, as
Ifie weaker to the greater!
We appeal to every one of our readers
who may have followed the history of
English feeling against us as expressed by
the Times, the Pest, and the Globe, whether
we have not been stigmatized by the Eng
li* Government, and its hireling newspa
pers, in a manner reiy hard at any time to
bear, and still harder to bear by ns whilst
we were struggling at home, with a fright
ful and tremendous civil war. They all
tnow.as well as we do, that we have
Jiome a good deal of contumely from these
English, on our own toad backs, and that
we (of the Tmbcke) hare not been slow
to express our indignation against the das
tards who feared ns in onr strength, and
•wronged, insulted, and betrayed us in the
hour of our dire need and necessity.
Well, justice has at last, aswesa!d,becn
done to us. We Americans are a great
militaiy people 1 The Times says so; and
the English aristocracy endorses the aver
ment.
But the question now occurs, why?
What reason is in the wind of this British.
* tergiversation ? Yei y clearly this—tlie
reason of fear and terror! Nothing short
of this could have induced that proud and
haughty country, alter it had committed
itself to a condemnation of our military
power and civil ability, to tuck its tail
between its aristocratic land, legs, and
howl out Peccavil to ns,* and to the list
ening ears of Europe.
Year of what ¥ Terror of what ? Fear
and terror that we shall soon have done
with the rebels, and be able to hurl our
hundreds of thousands of volunteer soldiers
against 7ccr—that double dealing pow
er, who, under the guise of friendship, and
the mask of neutrality, has already done
us such terrible injury in our commerce, in
our honor, and in our good namebefore the
world, that nothing short of an absolute
whipping of her, by us, will, as she well
knows, satisfy the American people, or
justify us the eyes of the civilized world.
This is the reason why the London Tima
comes round, about the iron rams building,
against us, for the confederates, in the
dockyards of these English, our dear
friends,neutrals and allies! This is the
reason why the Government shakes to its
centre before the majesty of the uprisen
English people,who protestin public meet
ings assembled, against those monstrous
violations of international law, which it
has tolerated and sanctioned so long in
England, against us I They are now afraid
they have gone too far. They find their
own people at home against them—they
find us deadly, bitter—determined, re
morseless, unappeasable - against them;
and so, as God helps us, we will always
be, until they redress the vast catalogue of
wrongs which they have perpetrated
against us.
XH£ OTEBB WM?.
Gen. Sibley's expedition to the Indian
country and the late battle in which the
red-skins were defeated, have unquestion
ably freed the territory of Minnesota from
the presence of the hostile savages, and
have relieved the people of all further ap
prehensions of attack. Driven beyond the
Missouri Eivcr, deprived of their provis
ions, robes, blankets and tents, it is impos
sible that the Indians can again collect in
sufficient force to hazard an extensive
movement against the whiles. Parties of a
dozen or less may, here and there, stealing
through our cavalry, approach the frontier,
and pcssibly ravage the home of some far
out frontierman; but hostilities on any large
or dangerous scale may be considered at
an end. Gen. Pope, who, fortunately for
the public weal, has the ordering of affairs
in that quarter, will unquestionably leave
a sufficient force oi both horse and foot to
re-assure the lately terrified inhabitants,
and the.remainder of his troops, near
seven thousand in all, can be ordered to
some one of the theatres of the ot her war,
where there is an enemy asyet unsubdued.
The reinforcement, small as it is, will be
especially grateful to any of the armies to
which it is sent; and we have no doubt
that the men of which it is made up will
gladly exchange the prospect of a winter
of inaction in the latitude of forty.four
North, for active and more glorious service
under the genial skies of the South. Their
gallantry has earned this desirable change.
The class of “ moccasin politicians” in
oar neighboring State is not yet defunct.
A few ol the individuals thereof arc still
in power, and more of them are grasping
after power departed. We already hear"
their clamor that the war is not over,-that
the enemy is still in lorce and threatening
new and more terrible atrocities, and that
the troops must not be removed; and we
axe sony to say that more than one of the
Minnesota papers, and that scores of her
old politicians—the men of the old regime ,
when Indians and their spoil were the
only subsistence of the white- men—have
joined this cry with a view to keep that
army where it is. Wcunderstand the mo
tive of all this, and are not slow to expose
it In a country where money is scarce
and expectants many. Uncle Sam is an ac
ceptable customer. The profits of the sol
diers’ trade, and of the prospective con
tracts for feeding, mounting and transport
ing troops, arc too large to be dismissed
from patriotic considerations; hence every
man who has or hopes for any dealing
with the soldier himself, or with
the Commissary or Quartermaster by
whom he is fed and moved, has
gone to work with systematic craft
and dissimulation to. keep the men where
they are. The most absurd stories about
new incursions axe circulated, and the
most distressing fears are excited. The
rustle of every leaf is translated into the
tread of a hostile savage; and there is not
a barn-yard stampede of unruly cattle that
does not, before it reaches the local papers,
assume the form and dimensions of an
Indian army, quite as formidable os any
that Tecusnseh ever led. It does not
matter that, there is not a redskin within
two hundred miles of the nearest settle
ment—the people are kept in a state of
chronic alarm, and the Government in
continued uncertainty. Meanwhile troops
remain, and trade goes on. Is not the
horse market active, and who says that
coin fox Gen. Bully’s command was not
bought at a sufficient price?* To the efforts
of these, the treason of the Copperheads
comes as a reinforcement—treason not
tmmingled with the hope of contractors’
profits. How much too had to send these
seven thousand fine fellows—veterans har
dened and inured by Northern exposure
in a brisk campaign—against our friends
of the Confederate States! is the song
that they sing to themselves; and. How
much too cruel in the Federal Government
to deprive ns of the protection of these
troops at the moment when the savages
are sounding their war-whoop at our very
door, is the strain that they howl for the
public. There is not a Copperhead jour
nal in the Northwest having these seven
thousand veterans—Eosecrans’ reserve—in
its mind, that is not willing to take an
oath that the Indian war in Minnesota
will last forever, or until the last ditch is
scaled and the last of the heathens killed.
Between contractois and Copperheads
there is a probability that winter typhus
and spring pneumonia will kill, in Minne
sota, a few hundred of these soldiers, who,
if they arc doomed so soon to die, should
die gloriously with their faces to the foe.
The Government hesitates between the of
ficial bulletins andlettcrs of its Generals,
and the miserable fabrications that the
contractors and Copperheads have put in
as rejoinders. Wc write in the interests
of ihe public, and entreat that the troops
may be sent where they are needed—South
and into a service where glory may be
won.

[.From Oar Special Correspondent.]
Wapiukotok, Sept. 8,1853.
September here la July or August in Illi
nois. In duet and heat I am sweltering
through a second edition of dog-diys Dust
here teems to fly higher and atay up longer
Han any Eastern or dust that it has
been my misfortune to encounter.
The New York Herald and other semi-dls
loyal sheets continue to give currency to the
falsehood that the Cabinet are divided on the
emancipation policy of the President, as con
tained in his proclamation, and affirmed in
his recent Springfield letter. There is not
the slightest foundation, in fact, for these
statements. I have the veiy best authority
for saying that there is not now—never has
been, and not the slightest prospect that
there ever will he any division of opinion
concerning the members of the Cabinet in re
tard to the enforcement of the proclamation
or its validity. No man, in any official po
sitlon, has expressed the least opposition to
the President’s policy In this regard. On the
other hand, men are daily coming over to the
great truth—that Slavery must me, that Lib
erty and Union may lire in this country.
Iteverdy Johncon recently expressed the
opinion that no man set free by the procla
mation, or otherwise, by the necessities of
the war, could be re-enslaved. Governor
Andy Johnson, of Tennessee, has recently
announced a similar position.
Old Mr. Blair, a Marylander and a slave
holder, raid in the hearing ot the writer yes
terday, that he was “ for destroyiig slavery,
root and branch;* and in saying t.hia he un
doubtedly expressed the sentiments of Ms
son, the Postmaster General, as well os of
the whole Blair family. Take to y oars elves
no consolation then, ye Copperheads, on ac
count of any supposed division in the Cabi
net, or among loyal men on this vital ques
tion. There is no such division and never
will be. Mi. Seward is znoit earnestly la fa
vor of “keeping the promise made by the
Commander-in-chief to our colored fellow
citiztns, who are so gallantly taking up arms
lor the defense of the Union, and for the
achievement of their o*n liberties.*’ Over
thirl} thousand colored soldiers are now ac
tually in the field doing service. Fifty thou
tand more will wear Uncle Sam’s onilbrm
before January. Becently I t-aw a young
colored man at the War office with the eatig
niacf a Major on Ms coat. This is as it
should he. Whatever is wanting to mate
the colored soldier in all respects equal with
the white soldier, Congress will soon supply.
1 here and cow forewarn Copperheads of
ell degrees, that one of the fir«st and moat
important measures to come before the next
Congress will be an universal Emancipation
Bill, which will muhe Slavery in all parts of
the United Slates an odious crime, forever
hereafter, itfiiclliig the penalty of death upon
whomsoever shall date to violate it after it
shall have become a lew. And 1 moreover
assure tegrohaftrs and negro-owners, and
all their backers of whatever name, that
such u bill will pass both branches of Con
gress by a t try large majority, and be lulled
t*y the people as the brightest, and b?st> of all
thegiuitano good and constitutional reme
dies for treason and rebellion which have
been invoked by or ourirg the most glorious
administration of Father Abraham. No mm
v. ho faithfully fights for tbeUiian shall here
tdUr be crushed byils power, or left to weir
the shackles of Slavery by its ccgl- ct. Its
benignant and jat-t, protection will be extend
eu into all the land and unto all the inhabit
ants thereof. In ihe glorious future of this ,
to-be truly free land of ours, “every State
will te guaranteed a republican form of gov
enumnt,” and “ no person shall he deprived
of life, liberty or property without due j>ro
ceis of law.*’ Man-stealing will be a foul
ctln e, and never more be called by respecta--
ble names, fostered and courted by political
parties, or baptized by the Church. SI »rery
is forever doomed—“the promise,** thank
God, “will he kept,** and the people will
say amen!
I wrote you yesterday, stating a current
rumor that Gen Bunter had gone West to
relieve Gen. Schofield. I fear tMs may not
turn out to he the fret, although It is true
that he has gone West; bat Ms destination
it not known.
It is understood lh»t the President is care
fully sifting the evidence involved in the
Missouri and Kansas question; and tbathe
. will finally arrive at the truth and act accor
dingly, the country a* well as the parties
immediately interested may rest assured.
The President very seldom comes to a false
conclusion, or tills to act when he Mis mode
up his mind what aught to be done. Whether
be will approve of the depopulation order, or
Jim Lane’s fire and sword policy, so fir as
the five counties of Missouri with 55,000 In
habitants arc concerned, remains to be seen.
Ent that effective measures for the protection
of the citizens of Kansas, will be immediately
adopted and carried out there is no doubt.
Secretary Stanton ha* been absent since the

(Special Correspondence of the Chicago Tribune.]
Washikotos, Sept. 8,1883.
There is no part of the country, if we ex
cept the desolate towns ol the South, in
which the changes wrought by the rebellion
and Its consequences have been so great as
those to be witnessed in this city. The first
effect of the hostilities was to paralyze busi
ness and cnterprkeofcreiy kind. Hundreds
ot men immediately abandoned their homes
and went South, to swell the armies of the
traitors, or to get into a congenial political
atmosphere; hundreds of families, Almost
invariably of secession proclivities, were
panic stricken, and fled to the country at the
thought of the swift destruction which the
inviccible hosts of their Southern friends
were about to bring upon the doomed city;
every square had its half dozen houses to let,
srd the landlords who had run off were will
ing to take any rent they could get. The
ttores eeemed to have no customers, and for
two or three months the shopkeepers and
merchants were glad to sell out at almost
any price, while many packed up their stocks
of goods and sent them north. Ho one
thought it safe to renew his stock, until at
length a man could scarcely find a decent pair'
of shoes or othdr ready-made article In the
city.
Such was the first effect of the war; bnt hv
and by, as the gathering hosts of volunteers
began to encircle the city, and to surround it
with camps and fortifications, a new amd
rapidly rising trade sprang into existence.
The soldiers and officers soon wore out or
soiled their holiday parade clothes, and soon
exhausted the liberal supplies of comforts
oi every kind sent them by their friends.
An immediate demand for sutlers* supplies
sprung up, and during the summer and fall
cf 1801, every vacant store was ra occupied
by busy and thrifty men from New York and
other Northern cities, who did a splcadll
business in whatever can minister to the
comf it, or gratify the taste of a soldier. The
substitution of the regular uniform of,the
aimj for the diversiform and often grotesque
costumes of the volunteers, caused an im
mense trade in shoulder straps, caps, hats,
tud bo forth. The dry goods b osiness revived
in consequence of the lull ox of strangers—all
branches of the retail trade felt tbe new im
pulse, bnt above all, and before all, the ffquor
and grocery business. Alcgionof new estab
lishments were ‘ ox»ened, to deal in liquors,
generally claiming to be branches of some
famous house in New York, and their bottles
line the shop windows from one end
of Pennsylvania avenue to another Ttfb
hotels and boarding-houses have been crowd
ed with strangers, who have come here for
business or pleasure--to transact business
with the Government; to seek office; to get
contracts, or to visit the seat of war. Tnese
establishments have also been most liberally
patronized by loafing army officers, who, un
der one pretence or another, manage to
escape the hardships of camp life, and shirk
the dangers of the field. Willard’s Hotel is
the common foens at which these idle officers
and others meet. Of on evening, it is almost
impossible to penetrate the mass of men who
crowd into the large halls, in order to befog
each others with conflicting rumors and to
bacco smoke. I have often wondered how
Um? proprietor could afford to furnish stand
ing room for such a crowd of outside idlers ;
but I now have tbe secret explained la the
fact that he rents a stall to a dealer In news
lepers at the modest sum of two thousand
live hundred dollars. This perquisite, to*
nether with the income of the bar, will am
ply compensate for the inconvenience.
The immeme crowds of officers, soldiers,
contractors and thrifty dealers la army sup
plies which throng onr city, have of coarse
given and an unwonted impulse to all those
forms of business which consist in minis
tering to the appetites and happiness. Be
fore the war, Washington could never sup
port a regular theatre. Several experiments
had been made in that line, bnt one. after an
other they all failed, and at the breaking out
of the war, the Washington Theatre, was the
upper story of Corousrs old dancing saloon.
But with the rise of business above described,
theatre after theatre springs Into being, until
the city numbered five such places ot amuse
ment. The old Washington, after months of
disquietude, was revived; the old Tenth
street Baptist Church was taken by Ford,
and turned into a neat little theatre, by the
addition of an ample staging; the Assembly
Rcodqb were turned, by Grover, into the
Canterbury 8011, a place of theatrical amuse
ments, exclusively for men and boys at
night, and for ladies and children in the
afternoon.
The old National Theatre, twice burned
down, and at length converted four or five
years ago into a circus, or hypodrome, was In
1801 restored by Grover to its original pur
poses; and the Varieties, a theatrical estab
lishment, has taken the place of the Gymna
sium. Betides these, there are .halls for
theatrical and other, similar amusements, too
numerous to mention. Finally, oa this head,
Ford’s old church theatre was burned down
•last winter, and has been rebuilt on* wider
and deeper foundations, and although still not
one of the largest, is now one of the finest
theatres in the country.. It opened about ten
days ago with the “Naiad Queen, 11 which has
had a great run, and will soon bring out the
“Ghost” GroVcr, not to be outdone, has
tern down his extetuporial theatre, which, as
I have remarked, stood on the foundations of
the old National, and is now building a large
solid structure, which will be opened la the
course of a month or six weeks. This theatre
will be entered through a fine new hoteL
vhlch is being built, it is aa!d, by O. B lUt
tlson, cf New York, on the foundation of the
old Vhion printing office, and extending In
front ol tie theatre. •
. As a friend of the dramatic art, X rejoice at
toe progress It is making here, and I have no
doubt that it eaves-hundreds, nightly, from
Eatronlzing the • grog-shops, the gambling
ousts, and other more loathsome haunts of
vice and crime—if there be others more loath
some than gambling. The man who goes to
toe theatre may stop at the beer or wine
saloon, bnt it Is a great gain that ho does not
eptnd the evening there. After attending
ihe theatre; where he will sec justice vin
dicated, virtue rewarded, and baseness re
buked orpunished—he cannot fail te go home
u better mac—with a tlrooger sense of jus
tice, and with warmer sensibilities.
1 regret to say that gambling and drinking
have increased in even greater proportion
than those devoted to legitimate business.
The authorities, military and civil, are great
ly to blame for licensing or tolerating the
latter, while the former should be suppress
ed with the strong hand. I understand that
the Provost Marshal, with his troopers, who
promenade the streets by night, have pounced
upon many of these establishments recently,
and that he has resolved to break them up.
"We have a law here punishing faro dealing
with the penitentiary, bnt the first victim,
who was convicted under the law, though an
old offender, was pardoned'out; and thus
.those dens of infamy have flourished none
the less in consequence of the severe penalty
which the silent letter of the law provides.
Houses of ill fume keep pace with those de
voted to gaming and drinking, and the aban
doned women who have flocked here slnee
the war commenced, are said to be equal to
an army in numbers. Common fame reports
that they have monopolized whole streets and
blocks between Pennsylvania avenue and the
canal, and that they register themselves, I
suppose, from the popular name given to
ihtm,ascf the sth Army corps. A victualer
and confectioner in the vicinity, who was
kbout to give up busineos at the commence
ment of the war, is rapidly making bis for
tune by supplying these disreputable houses
with fine dinners at the expense of army con
tractors, dealers in sutlers* stores, and army
officers.
Another flourishing Institution, which owes
its rise to the war, Is the city railroad. Tue
company was chartered in the spring of 1803,
and about the first of September following,
the cars were running. In no cU r of the
Union, probably, has the success*.:'similar
enterprises been equal to this one in’Wash
ington. The cars run from the middle of
Georgetown to the Navy Yard, and from the
Northern boundary of tbc city, on Seventh
afreet, to Frazer’s steamboat landing, where
the ferry-boats to Alexandria stop. Also,
from the Northern boundary on Fourteenth
Mrcet, to Pennsylvania avenue. The two

which brought them int* requisition as hos

Memphis, September 0,1665.
Of society In tbe old fashioned home sense
of that word, meaiilng community of ideas,
Immunity cf feeling, neighborly kindness,
and sociability, there can yet be sold tobebut
little in Memphis. This Is only -what coaid
reasonably be expected from the elements of
which the population Is now composed, A
li rge proportion of tbe most prominent se
cession families left tbe city soon after its
capture, others went when they were expell
ed by military authority last summer, yet
they still left enough wbo had followed their
lead in matters of belief, who sympathized
with them, to form a majority of the llx.d
population.
But as military laws come more strict on
the expression of rebellions sentiments, they
soon eaw the expediency, if nothing more, of
keeping their sentiments to themselves. The
enthusiasm of rebellion, like the enthusiasm
cf any otherldca, could not be kept up with*
out mutual encouragement, and without
some open expression. When this was nec
cessarily abandoned they grew suspicious of
each other, and sociability ceased among
themselves, while toward the families of
Northern merchants and Northern officers of'
the military post, they yet felt same of the
Jtalonty of the conquered toward the con
queror. Of that other portion of society
and it was a large one, who were glad when
the Federal army occupied the city aud re
joiced at the downfall of rebellion, many
ftared to be thought subservient, and held
themselves aloof from both of the otherpar
tiee.
Tbe churches, those centres around which,
under ordinal circumstances, coclety crys
talizes as it were, were closed! The preach
ers who had preached rabbid rebellion had
turned guerillas and were in the it bnsh,” aud
and those who had preached mild secession,
while they acknowledged that the Federal
rule in Memphis was not the dominant tyran
ny they bad anticipated, still made their dally
walk and conversaton os though they believed
Here were two Heavens and two hells, one
jor tbe South and one for the North. A year
ago, ont of about a dozen handsome churches
in this city, service was held in only two of
Protestant denomination. In one the con
gregation was made up chiefly of army offi
cers and citizens from the North, and in 'the
other they yet prajed loudly for Jeff. Davis.
In the one the service was aiterwards dis
continued because the congregation was only
unde up from a floating population, and there
were no permanent members from whom to
draw a revenue. In the 'other the
congregation began to dwindle bscanee
that, seeing they had prayed much and it hid
availed little, they began to Jose faith in Jeff,
ar din the righteousness of his cause. With
dements so antagonistic, it Is easy to perceive
Hat though there were a great many people,
there was no sochty. I speak particularly
of the churches, not on the groaud that so
ciety is a religious institution, but because
the churches are the places where private
toclal life comes in contact with the public,
and almost tbe only place where one on the
outside can Judge of the interior.
These things arc better now than they were
a y tar ago. Several churches are open, and I
notice that the congregations are promlscu
omly citizens and military. The citizen
members seem to have concluded that Jeff
Davis is not a solct, and have lost their an
tipathy to the Federal uniform, and the ele
ments ot society are assimnlating them
eelves, hut have only made the beginning
There are no social gatherings, no
circles, no balls, no parties, no clubs
There are thousands of families, but little

Several persons who have come np lately
from New Orleans give ns some account of
the condition of things in that city. There is
almost no business except tbst connected
with the army: half tbc dwellings and more
than half the stores are empty. Around the
whole “crescent,” where there used to lie
three or four thousand ships, there arc now
hardly a hundred vf ssels of all dieses. These
are all outplayed. to some extent, in the mili
tary service. The charters of some of these
ships are curiosities, and indicate into whose
pockets go the many millions of money ex
travagantly expended in the prosecution of
the war. » . . .
Most of the vessels lying at Now Orleans
were under charter to the Government, but I
only mention two of the most noteworthy.
One vessel carrying three thousand sacks of
'corn from New York was under charter at a
hundred and twenty-five dollars per day, and
been out a hundred and twenty two days,
making the cost of freight alone about fifteen
thousand dollars/or about two dollars and
fifty cents per bushel. Another vessel, that
had" probably taken Kamscalka in her route
from New York to New Orleans* had been
out “o long and at so extravagant a charter
*he com she brought stood the Govern
> viit in nearly five dollars per bushel when
Jindcd at New Orleans. If these are not sot
fleient reasons tor supplying the “Depart
ment of the Gulf” from the Northwest, and
by means of the Mississippi Biver, it mast be
confessed that army contracts are let for the
benefit of individuals alone, and ignore the
brneflt of the army entirely.
Every one who comes up says New Orleans
Is healthy. There is no yellow fever, as has
been reported, and in proportion to the pap
ulation, there has been less sickness from
other dueoi cs than there has been at many
other points along the river, Helena, for la
fitOne*of tte old land-marks of New Orleans,
a jelic of the olden time. “The Haunted
House,” the old “LivandaU mansion,” is
being torn down, and the poor ghosts that
for half a century have been iU reputed ten
ants, will have to seek other lodgings. “The
Haunted House ” was one of the Hons of
New Orleans, and almost every stranger who
has visited the city, for fifty years past, has
seen it. It stood in the subui b of Lafayette,
a two story, square, gloomy, brick mansion,
surrounded on all sides by acolonudeof brick
pillows, coated with cement. The writer first
taw It one evening many years ago, when he
was going cityward, through the suburb. A
rotting wooden fence, green with strange
fungus things, and slippery to the hand?, en
closed a weedy garden, full of lizards and
huge black spiders; iu the midst was the
haunted house. That part of the roof
wi ich had rested on the columns,
bad fallen away, so that they stood
around the house entirely disconnect
ed with it. The dampness of the climate
had peeled tbc them, and visionary

In a practical matter-of-fact city like Chi

The Great Union Sleeting at Gales-
hnre.
[From Oor Special Correspondent.]
Galesbuko, Sept. 10,15C3.
The recent meeting at Spricgflcld and that
jetterdajat Galesburg, proved beyond the
possibility of a doubt, that Illinois is loyal to
the core, and that Copperhead treason, how
ever rampant it may be in certain localities,
Is denounced by all the intelligence and vir
tue of the State. The two meetings in ques
tion, attended as they were by not less—alto
gether—than one hundred and twenty thou
sand persons, were sufficient evidence that
the hearts and minds o£the people, are sonod
upon all the great questions which are now
agitating the Bepnblic, and shaking it to its
very foundations—and that come what may,
the vast majorities of this mighty common
wealth,will stand by tbeConstitution,andthe
Administration, to the last dime, andthelost
man. I heard a good deal on ray journey
from the Spnngfiold meeting, about the
numbers, and the projects of the Copperheads
in this State; and my authority was an old
resident, of good position, whose avocation
compelled him to mix largely with all
classes of society. He spoke, therefore,
with the authority of one cognizant of the
facts wbicb he re'ated—and he told me that
In all the email villages along the line from
Chicago to Springfield, thrre were secret as
sociations or the Haights of the Golden
Circle, who met at stated peiiods armed to
the teeth, with the avowed object ot thwart
ing the measures of the Government, aud of
aiding the Goniederates. No man's life, he
said, who was known to be a Republican, or
an Union man, was safe in the village where
ho resided; and it- was not on uncommon
thing for serious breaches of the peace to
ro*ult suddenly out of a casual conversation
in the streets.
All this is doubtless very sad, and shows
what these miserable and misguided men
would do, if they had the power, and with it
the andacitr to present themselves as on
armed and traitorous organization, before the
people In the fall light of day. But os I told
my informant upon that occasion, I had no
fear of these bats, and their belfry assemblies,
much as 1 deplored their existence; and I
pointed to tbe seventy-five thousand persons,
whose presence bad made the Springfield
meeting so majestic and sublime, os the best
answer, and the most efficient foil to these
canning, £dse, and ignorant dastards.
The Times boosts! of the strength of tbe
Copperhead party in Illinois, and Its power
as a practical engine. But when have they
demonstrated these qualities? Certainly
not in June last, when they met on the same
soil, and occupied the same platform where
the Union party congregated last week at
Springfield. Their numbers on that occasion
did not amount, at the utmost, to more than
fifteen thousand, including men, women and
children; aud the great balk of these were
ttctng-wg and bob tail of tbe population,
who had come up from thp lowest stratum oi
our society, to doubly damn themselves as
tools and traitors, Ip obedience to the dem
agogues who called them from the filth and
squalor of their habitations. Neither the
meeting at Galesburg yesterday, nor that at
Springfield during the previous week, had
any of the low, vulgar, half-prig, half-traitor
characteristics, which rendered the Copper
head meeting in June, so much like a Fire
Point crowd assembled to discuss tire pillage
and conflagration of the city. The physique
and apparel, and the traveling appointments
of tbe Union men were so absolutely different
that one might wcllbave set them down as
of a distinct race, moved by altogether dlif:r
ent passions, hopes,, feelings, and ambitions
to theirs. They wcre serfu, bred in the com
mon sewers cf the political tilth of the nation.
"What could they do for the Republic, “or for
humanity ? Their very presence, animated as
they were by such deadly malice and hatred
for all the great truths and principles for
which the martyrs died, and which all good
and true men in these States cling to as their
dearest heritage—was an insult to the Re
public and a dishonor to civilization. Aud I
could not help contrasting the earnest, en
thusiastic faces which I saw yesterday at
Galeehurg, and the social position which
It was so evident these men enjoyed,
with the scowling scarred, bloated and
demoniac faces of the Copperheads at the
June meeting. .Hero were men with whom
•country was all—“first, and list, and midst,
ai d without end.” They were ready to sac
rifice oil for its safety and Its honor; whilst
tl.e Copperheads spoke and acted as If they
hod no country, but were aliens and Ishmaol
lies, their hands against nil men,and all mcu'S
hands againtt tlum. Not one speaker at
their mcetiugawokc the slightest emotion of
patriotism; their object was to break the
republic to pieces, and band the Government
over to the rebels, that they might rule slaves,
white as well as black—slaves, and not tree
men. But here at Galesburg, were thousands
of old aud venerable lathers and mothers,
whohad given their darling sons to fight for
their country, and whohad fought for It no
bly, aud died forit, and now rested In their
last sleep, in fkr off graves. They wonlonev
er see them more; and whilst Governor Tates
atd Major General Prentiss were spooking oi
the sacrifices Which they had made in th* lß
immolating their sons upon thealtar of free
dom, I saw the tears trickle down their fur
rowed checks, and their old grey head* bowea
down in unspeakable sorrow; and many a
stalwart form shook and rocked in the mighty
agony of their bereavement, as the uioogut
of it was thus touchingly brought
to their remembrance. When Copper*
headmeetingthußaffected? For tears, they
had bitter and hellish laughters, for blessings,
they had fiery, Inextinguishable purees, i

and happy future progression, were

Extraordinary Scene at Constan
tinople,
Burning of the Seraglio at StamhanL
GRAND SKEDADDLE OF WOMEN, EEJSTCHS,
SERVANTS, &t.
Jewels, Costly 'Wardrobes, etc*, a
Prey to tho Flames.
[From the Levant Herald. Ang. 12.]
A positive calamity has befallen StambouL
The Old palace of Selim, of Mnstapho, and
of Mahmoud—next to the principal mosques,
the most unique and characteristic architec
tural feature on tho south side of the Golden
Born—has been leveled by tbe fiames. The
disaster which haa thus deprived the Tor
kieh capital of one of its most striking and
historically interesting monuments, hap
pened on Monday forenoon, when, about IL
o'clock* tbe sudden bm sting out of a column
of black smoke from the southern extremity
of the building, announced to nearly every
quarter of tbc city that tbe quaintly beauti
ful old building, which had escaped tbe fiery
vicissitudes of a hundred years, had at
length fiulen a prey to the common local
fate.
In little more than half on hour more, the
whole pile was hopelessly and Irretrievably
abkzc before the first of the scores of wretched
engines which hurried from every quarter of
the capital to the scene of the cal-unity could
even reach the point, the old palace was fur
beyond falvution by any local means. The
Grand Vizier, who happened to be at Dolma
bdktche at tbo time, was the first on the spot,
having hurried across in one of the palace
caiques. He was speedily followed by the
whole of the other ministers, nearly all the
general officers in garrison in the capital, and
abtut 3,000 trorps.
Of the many narrow escapes, that of the
Grand Yizicrwas one of the closest. Accom
panied by a dozen or so of soldiers, Ids High -
tees had penetrated into the centre of the
building, where it was believed some of the
fair inmates jet remained. .Whilst searching
lor these, the flames literally surrounded the
room In which Fuad Pacha and his compan
ions were, and it was only by escaping
through a window wbich opened on the Jlw
mora that his Highness and the men with
him effected their retreat—bat a few minutes
before the root of the room they had left fell
in. By tbree p. m. the work of destruction
was complete. The fire. Indeed, still raged
at that hour in the detached buildings in the
rear end round towards Yali Kiosk, but ot the
old palace on the Point only the outer court
walls and the tottering chimney stacks re
mained. - About an hour after the Are broke
out the Sultan himself proceeded to the
scene, but, on the urgent advice of the min
isters, Lis Majesty remained only a short
time in the dangerous neighborhood, return
irjj to Dolma-baktche, whence the progress
ci the conflagration was nearly as visible as
from the perilous spot itielfi
The site of the old building thus destroyed
ia one of the most historic in S'ambool. In
the earliest Byzantine days i' tus covered by
the Acropolis of the eastern capital;
later by a palace oi the Empress Phcidia;
later ’still, by another and grander residence,
reared by Justinian, on lire rains of which
other palaces were successively built, till
Mahomet U. erected that of which the struc
ture destroyed on Monday was the last of
many restorations. In this building took
place the assassinations of Sultan Selim 11.
and Mnstapha IV., and fromit issued the suc
cessive edlc s which crushed the Wahhabees,
annihilated the Jannlssariea, and inaugurated
the other acts of reforming “vigor” which il
lustrated the reign of Mahmond. On the
completion of the new palace of Dolms
buktche, the late Saltan removed to the latter
residence, and the old building sunk into a
retreat for the surviving (aud unmarried off)
members of hislkther’sharem. On the death
of Abdul Medjid himself, the former inmates
were cleared out and the ladles of his own
late establishment installed in their stead.
These consisted of lour kadin ejftndis (or
•wives) and aboutSoo other females ot lower
harcmlc rank. Besides this goodly company,
the establishment included nearly 100 white
and black eunuchs and other servants,
the whole of whom were in it when the
calamity of Monday occurred. The fire is
raid to have originated In a small kitchen at
tached to the suite of apartments occupied
by the fourth kadin , who had barely time to
hasten to the adjoining rooms of her late
conjugal colleagues—disturbing them at their
afier breakfast coffee and chibouque, and
urge immediate flight before the flames
spread from her own chamber to those of the
other ladies. The whole of these, as also
the ether women, eunuch*, and servants,
managed to effect their retreat into the outer
front court, and there they were found half
an hour later by the hasnadnr t ista (lady gov
erness) of the Palace, who hastened from
Dolma baMche to take charge of the burnt
out establishment. The whole were splen
didly and safely removed in caiques and car
riages, first in part to some of the neighbor
ing harems, and finally in the course of the
afternoon to Dolma-baktche. Efforts were
made to save some portions ot the costly
wardrobes, Jewels and furniture thus hastily
abandoned, but with hardly any success.
The whole may be said to have fallen a prey
to the flames. Happily the old jewelled
arms and other precious antiquities which
vlkitors to this historic treasure heuse will
remember, were removed some months ago
to Tcni-kiosk, a moderate stone building on
.tbo crown of the hill behind, which has
escaped tne general min; and there they and
the sliver gilt throne which docs duty at
Bairam under the “Beautiful Gate”—near
still to St. Sophia—still safely repose. Bat
the old Serai itself is gone; ana, rich as
nearly eveiy court and chamber of it was in
historical association, the £300,000 —or there
abouts—lntrinsic value of the building and
Its contents, is, perhaps, the least element in
the loss which Its destruction entails on
