THE NEWS.
Gold was yesterday staggering like a drunk
en man. Secretary Chase advises Congress
that blood letting is all that will help gold,
bleeding the speculators, the rag money men,
the rebels in the field, and the blood the loyal
masses freely offer to save the country. Con
gress holds the instrument. Is it a lancet or
only a goose quill fluent in bnmeombe
speeches?
The Paducah affair Is a marvel, and still
bears the semblance of being merely a “ feint
in force,” We believe we are yet to learn
the fuH intent of the rebels la Western Ken
tucky. They are evidently keeping npap
pearances in hammering away at Paducah
with an inadequate force. Onr gunboats are
now invaluable, and their vigilant patrol of
"the river* -will be a serious bar to any rebel
success east of the Tennessee and north of
the Ohio.
France is observing a good faith toward us
that John Bull might envy. French ports
wre sealed to any egress of a war vessel des
tined to aid the rebels.
News from Mexico says the French have
occupied Matamoras without striking a blow.
There is everywhere the din of activity In
the Army of the Potomac, save where muffled
fcy mud. A heavy train of artillery was sent
down yesterday. General Grant ia at the
front. A few days sunshine the cam
paign will open.
The demons who were cast in the role of
Slavery in the tragedy at Fort Pillow, brain
ed defenceless, unarmed men shrieking for
mercy, burned them alive, buried them still
livingin graves dog by their own hands, and
stayed not until over three hundred lives
wereiaken. Who are the spooney officers
that wear the Federal uniform and dare to
iob-a-nob with the officers of such atrocities
as these, In sight of the* smoke of the
torment of these hap-ess colored men?
e trust the rumor is altogether incorrect.
One name was given In the dispatches printed
in VLc Journal of last evening, but bis friends
vehemently deny it in his case, and appa
rently sustain an alibi in his behalf. We shall
«oon know the troth The Thidckb will
publish all, and spare none. The Union offi
cers guilty of that act, rather than return
North, better tie bricks to their necks and
Jump into the Mississippi, seeking the fate of
other blind puppies. It will be no light of
fense to be laid upon any man's shoulder
straps. Mark that
FORT PILLOW.
The whole civilized world will be shocked
by the great atrocity at Fort Pillow. The
'name and the locality will stand embalmed
in history with Cawnporc, and other bidd
able horrors ofthe warfares of India. Batin
mo respect does the act misrepresent the na
ture and precedents of Slavery. It was
■simply a wholesale transaction instead of tne
retail murder of a single black Tom or Quas-
Lcc. The massacre at Fort Pillow is but a
heavier billow of the red sea of slave murder
In these years past. The rebel force repre
sented in mass the angry master, the four
-hundred black soldiers stood the embodi
ment of a single fugitive captured with arms
in_hls hands. Slavery Las always said shoot
them, and kill them at sight. Good pious
Southern deacons would think no more of
putting a ball through the head of
a fugitive nigger nnder such cir
cumstances, than a school boy of
-si tying a gopher. If Oncsimos had rcsist
-cd being sent back, Southern doctrine would
have justified the Apostle to the Gentiles in
.killing him on the spot and advising his
muster of the fact by the next post. Provi
dence is allowing Slavery the opportunity for
the re-enactment of Sts innate crimes on a
scale so large that the civilized world shall
stand horror-stricken, and wonder at its for
mer blindness. The voice of a single victim,
though In the wide prison bouse no boar of
the day *as unrent by his death cry, fell on
dull cars; but this heaped massacre will
draw the attention of the most callous ob
server of events, not sodden in the iniquity
of man-stealing.
But there is a cognizance of this slaughter
lhat on Its solemn pledge this Government
must take, and the hour now is when it can
not avoid the issne. It has colled to its aid
n crushing the rebellion the serviccsoflojol
colored men, who wear Us uniform. It
pledged its protection to these men, in the
face of the threatened Sepoyism of the en
raged mostcis. It met the earliest acts of
rebel atrocity against our colored troops and
the white officers who lead them, with a
plain enunciation of the penalty it should
mete out, by retaliation in kind. In the
summer of last year. President Lincoln au
thorized the issuing of an order from the
"War Department, that it would be the policy
■and intention of the Government to retaliate
in kind for every case of ill-treatment of oar
officers or men, black or white, by the rebel
authorities, by hanging for banging, shooting
for shooting, and imprisoning for imprison
ing. In every instance where it was known
that a black man, in the military service ot
'the Government, was token prisoner and sold
into slavery, our military authorities would
be instructed to select a rebel prisoner, and
confine him to hard labor, income prison,
there to remain until the black man is liber
ated. The Government, it was said, would
maintain and exact, promptly and to the let
ter, that the Federal like thcjlag, must
and shall he respected —by whomsoever borne.
An extract from General Orders, No. 252,
'lssued at Washington, July 30, 18t>3, Is as
follows:
*• For every soldier of the United States, killed
in violation of the lawe of war. a rebel soldier shall
be executed, and for everyone enslaved by the
enemy or sold Into slavery, a rjbcl soldier shall be
placed at hard labor on the public works, and con
tinued at such labor tmtil the other shall ba re
leased, and receive the treatment doc to a prisoner
ol war.”
Now let that order be executed. The reb
els have In multitudes of lesser instances
slum and maltreated onr colored troops; but
perhaps the Government has waited for some
siTial instance to meet it in an exemplary
manner. Fort Pillow famishes it It will
require firmness to select and order four hun
dred rebel prisoners to be executed; hntlho
faith of the Government is pledged. It can
not go back if It would. If the massacre of
Port Pillow Is avowed by the head conspira
tors at Richmond, blood cannot too soon
■ flow in retaliation, and a lesson be taught
these rebels, who will take core that one of
their own precious lives be not weighed in
the scale of justice against one of the black
r.icc. Let the Government either protect its
black troops, to the rigorous limit of Its
pledge, or disbond them forthwith.
CONGRESS AND THE CRISIS*
Secretory Chase advises Congress of the
present stay the Financial branch of the gov*
eminent asks ol the law makers. He names
as the first necessity Military Succes*. For
that under Providence, we look to Lient.
Gen. Grant, and onr armies Bat it will give
the Congressional conscience a twinge b 7
and by, If It prove that even this has been re
tarded and endangered through feeble minded
out of dread of some local unpopularity of a ,
law that should fill np our armies, for Tcrily
the danger of this hour is, w have not men
-enough.
But Mr. Chose suggests other needs of the
hour that have solely to do with Finance.
They are not new indeed to Congress, nor to
the readers of the Tbidoke, bat now come
rcltcratcd.with all the weight of a personal
and offichfl appeal from the head of the Trea
sury Department.
1. Mr. Chase complains that (he spawn of
.fifteen hundred rag mills are mixed with and
•deteriorating the issues of the Government
Be asks that those irresponsible due-bills
should be so taxed that the discrimination
may be in favor of the Government. What
will Congress do? Out West we intend
shortly to have nothing to do with any other
jjaper money than Greenbacks. Ought not
the fact to stiffen onr national legislators, or
will they all the more become the especial
-champions, of the suction-pump currency?
We shall see.
2. Mr. Chase suggests putting a legislative
•drag on Gold transactions. He docs not loot
„:for any very marked result therefrom, nor do
*wc, but the measure is already before Con
gress. It will do no harm to pass it. It
'Will, so for as it goes, set the seal of public
condemnation on the heartless speculators In
the ruin of the country, who count their
profits, in exact proportion as the country
suffers.
S. Mr. Chase solemnly reiterates the ne
cessity of taxation. He urges that one-luOl
-the expenditures of this war be paid cash
down by the people. If we cannot follow
I
volume xvu*mm^
Poor Eichord’s motto, “Pay os we go,” pay
liolf, os « pledge of willingness to pay the
refit Thoghofit of Ecpndlation lUlts over
at the back of a nation which goes recklessly
on amafifilng untold millions of war debt
Afi we promise and intend good faith with
onr national creditors, the best pledge Is part
cash. The people are willing to take np this
burden. Men who sent their first bom to
this wim, andmonm them resting in unknown
graves;- -women, the patient and zealous
workers in everything that shall aid the
Union in this hour of peril—these will not
shrink from mere pecuniary sacrifices. Let
Congress go on and do its doty. The mem
ber from Buncombe may bo shaken by the
threat that his chances of re-election depend
upon his diligent zeal for the exemption of
this or that article on the list 'Whisky and
Petroleum, and the filthy rag'currency, may
open news channels of corruption, or fill
sluices already dng, but let Congress do its
duty. Lay on the Tax. If the country must
be bled by the speculators or by the Govern
ment, the latter has the first rf*im
What will Congress do? It is certain its
stunted record already issued, promises very
little. It has adopted a perversion of the old
motto, **ln medio iuiiatimtu ftfe,” even to
the extent of picking its way persistently
along the middle of the muddiest ditches.
It has avoided either extreme by sticking
fast in the center of every slough. Hen are
in an error in Congress or out, who mistake
mediocrity for moderation. Still there is to
be a sound at which even the dead who are in
their graves shall awake, and it may not be
too much to hope that there may he for this
present Congress a resurrection. If not they
will realize to the fullest extent the doctrine
of oblivion. But we hope they will heed
Secretary Chase.
The Cincinnati Enquirer approves of Con
gressman Long’s sccesh speech. It pronoun*
ces it “an able and patriotic efiorfc.” That
paper in speaking of the speech, says, “it
enunciates sentiments which if they arc not
now the views of a majority of the people,
will soon be esteemed wise and just by them
when time and experience dcvelope.tbe terri
ble fruits of this ruinous war.”
The seccsb concern in this city endorses
the “ speech” up to tbc handle. It fatifcg in
this way;
“The loyal Sates cannot subjugate the Insur
gent States,”
** The prosecution of the war upon present terms,
is a useless expenditure of blood and treasure.”
“Should a Democratic President be elected, he
will institute whatever measures of peace or war
may be necessary for the accomplishment ol this
purpose.”
The issue before the people is being simpli
fied. It is, for the subjugation of the rebel
lion on the one side; and the dissolution of
the Union on the other. There is no middle
ground. Parties arc dividing into the two
dosses named by Douglas, viz: Patriots and
Traitors. Those in Chicago who take the
Enquirer’s view, above stated, have just put
their city ticket in nomination. It will be
for the loyal men to defeat it; it can only
win through their default

Late from Arizona*
*Wc have been permitted to read a letter
from Don. Coles Bashford, formerly Governor
ot Wisconsin, and now Attorney General of
Arizona, dated at Tucson, March 4,15C4, from
which we make a few extracts:
We left Fort Whipple on the 8d day of Feb
ruary, and arrived here on the 17th, making
the distance of 260 miles in fifteen days. We
came through the Antelope mines, one of the
newly discovered, which has created some
coke In the States. They were sadly In want
of water, os ore all of the newly discovered ■
mines. For the lack of It nothing could be
done. All the miners had left, except about
300. We saw six new graves at Antelope
mines. All of their occupants had come to
violent deaths by the pistol or howie knife.
Tucson has about 1,000 inhabitants. Most
of the houses are built ot adobe. Ido not
think this a very desirable territory to emi
grate to, unless accompanied with a paying
office. Everything is very high—flour $15.00
per sack, eggs SI.OO per dozen, bacon 73 cents
per pound, sugar 50 cents per poand, and
eveiythiug else in proportion. No crops can
he raised here without irrigation. Wheat
does well, and garden sauce, except potatoes.
There arc no vegetables in the country.
Wc live upon/aWiand hope, bacon and bread.
Wc shall soon be placed on half rations of
the latter, unless trains come in from Colo
rado which are now due.
The winters hero are delightful—like Sep
tember In the States, excepting that the nights ■
arc colder. They tell an impious story of a
fellow who left * 4 Fort Hamas” for the undis
covered country. His Satanic majesty asked
him where he was from. M Fort Hamas, sir.”
“ Ton had better go back and get yonr blan
kets!”
I have no doubt this country is full of gold
and silver, but it will lake time to develop
them.
The Indians have devostated this Territory
and Sonora. They have met some reverses
lately, and we hope, by and by, to force them
o some terms.’ 1
GRAIN FREIGHTS ON THE UPPER
MISSISTIPPX.
A Card from tlie Railroad Managers*
Editors of the Chicago Tnbane:
At a meeting of the managers of the Railroad
and Steamboat lines, between the Northwest and
Milwaukee and Chicago, held at the Sherman
House, in the City of Chicago. April 12,1861, atten
tion was called to the fact that various erroneous
statements and re pertain the matter of Grain Rates
from points on the Mississippi River to Lake
Michigan ports, had been printed in the city
tapers: and It was deemed expedient to state, for
theinformation of the puhlicthat the Grain Rates
adopted at the Convention held February 4th, 18W,
are the aame as those in force daring the months
of September, October and November, 1853.
The Committee on Resolutions reported the fol
lowing, which were adopted: . .
Wnzßsas, The experience of past years has af
forded abundant and satisfactory proof that the
prices usually obtained for doing the business of
the upper Mualaeippl River towns were far from
remunerative to the various parties engaged
therein:
Akd WmnrcAs, The present crippled condition
of the various railroad lines, on account of the fre
quent requisitions made upon them for locomotive
engines and cars, by the Culled Slates Govern
ment, is such as to seriously impair their effi
ciency
Ami WnmzAfi, It has always been the custom
of the railroads terminating on the Mississippi
River to discriminate in favor of regular lines of
steamboats connecting and running daring the en
tire season for the accommodation of the traveling
public and shippers of freight; .
Ab» WnxnEss, The present cost of opera tin"
railway and steamboat lines far exceeds that or
any former year, therefore, .
J2eeolted, That in order to sustain the present
railroad and steamboat lines, between lake ports
and points on the upper Mississippi River, and in
luftlce to the interests we represent, the tariff of
rates established at the Convention held in Chicago
February 4th, 38& I. is reasonable, and cannot be
reduced; and that in the opinion of thla Conven
tion, the discrimination heretofore made In favor
of regular lines of packets on the Mississippi
River Is necessary and just, and is theonly plan
upon which sure and satisfactory conuecuonscan
be made during the entire season of navigation,
and should the Government enforce farther reqra
stlons upon the roads, and the expenses of operat
ing ililvray and steamboat lines continue to In
crcseeTan advance in thepreaont through rates

[Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.]
Caibo, April 15, IBM.
There have been no arrivals to-dayfrom Fort Pil
low. No steamers are permitted to leave this port
for the South until the return of the gonboata as
to the condition of the blockade established on
Wednesday at that point.
Caiuo, April 15.—1t la reported that General
Chalmers at first commanded the Confederates at
Fort Pillow, General Lee, however, arrived just
before the battle began, and assumed coemand.
General Chalmers remarked to a Federal onicer on
the steamer Platte Talley, that It was their inten
tion to chow no quarter to home-made Yankees,
(meaning Southerners,) serving in the Union army,
and negroes, but that genuine Yankees would be*
treated as prisoners of war.
To the shame of the .Americans bo it sold, on the
steamer were found men, some of them wearing
the United States uniform, who lionized Chalmers,
offering him every attention, taking bfm into the
ladies' cabin, and extending to him every Vindnoafl
and courtesy Imaginable, appearing to be highly
honored with Ms notice.
Those who thus disgraced the cause by favoring
the villain Chalmers, mast not go unpublished, and
their conduct"fum-t be investigated and rewarded
according to their deserts. To the honor of others,
one officer in particular, whose namp unfortunate
ly we could not learn, they refused to drink or
have any intercourse with the barbarians, as they
so truly proved themselves by slaughtering men
who, with uplifted bands, foiled to obtain merer,
bat had their beads cleft from their shoulders, or
laid open with sabres, or their skulls stove
in with butts of guns. After throwing down their -
arms, after being overpowered by overwhelming
odds, several small squads of negroes were drawn
np in line and shot down. After this, the poor
creatures would take refuge behind white men,
when the rebels would fire, frequently bringing
down both white and black. No attention was
paid to the wounded, and the commonest dictates
of humanity were utterly disregarded.
Inside of the works the most revolting spectacle
Imaginable presented itself The dead and woun
ded were lying in heaps, writhing In agony, while
from the consuming buildings came forth the death
shrieks of the burning negroes.
Although nearly all thebulldings in tho fort were
burned, with their contents, thirty or forty barrels
of salt were preserved and carried off by the
rebels.
... 275
The Iron-clad gunboat No. 7 fired about 250
rounds, when, running out of ammunition, and
having kept np a continuous fire, her guns, which
were not large, became wholly ineffective, and the
rebels bringing the Parrott gun from the fort to
bear nj>on her, she was obliged to haul out of
range. She received httledamage, save a few holes
through her chimneys.
After the Platte Valley had lauded, and while the
conference was going on, a wounded man was seen
crawling along the bank with great difficulty. He
was perceived by a rebel, who drew sight upon
him, and firing, the wounded man fell dead.
The enemy is said to have useu six «maH pieces
of artillery in the attack—probably the some used
at Paducah.
Of the guns captured at the fort, it 2s said, sev
eral were rendered useless for the present by our
forces spiking them. Forrest, with these gnus,
end the main force. Is said to jhave retreated the
same evening to Brownsville, leaving Chalmers
with a brigade still at the fort Chalmers would
give the officers of gnnhoats or others no aaUafac
tion, as to his immediate designs, bat stated, as
did Forrest, that none approved ot firing into
steamboats.
They denied that It was their force who were
doing, it bot bands of robbers who followed them,
and whom they would as last as they could
catch them.
No boats have been permitted to go from hero
farther down than Columbus, since the news of the
attack.
Sr. Loci?, April 15.—The correspondent of the
Union, who was aboard the steamer Platte Valley,
ai Fort Pillow, gives an even more appalling de
scription of the flendiebnese of the rebus than our
Cairo dispatches.
Many of our wounded were shot in the hospital,
the remainder were driven ont and the hospital
burned.
The morning after the battle the rebels went over
the field and shot all negroes who had not died
from previous wounds. Many of those who es
caped irom the works and hospitals, and who de
sired to be treated as prisoners of war, as the rebels
said, were ordered to fall into line, when they were
immediately shot down.
Of three hundred and fifty colored troops not
more th.n fifty escaped msgtacre, and not one
officer that commanded imrives.
Only four officers of the I3th Tennessee escaped
death.
Tbe loss of the 13th Tennessee la eighty-five kill
ed, the remainder are wounded or captured.
Gen. Chalmers told this correspondent, although
It was against the policy of his Government to
spare negro soldiers or their officers, be bad done
ail In bis power to stop the carnage, at the same
time be said he believed it was right.
Another officer said our white troops would
bare been protected had they not been found on
daty with negroes.
While the rebels endeavored to conceal their loss
it was evidont they suffered severely.
The colonel commanding the Tennessee cavalry
was mortally wounded. - -
Cairo. April 15.—Two negro soldiers wounded at
Fort Pillow were burled by the rebels. They after
wards worked themselves out of the crave, and
were among those brought up on the Platto valley,
and are now in the hospital at Mound City.
The officers of the Platte Valley receive great
credit from the military and all others for landing
at Fort Pillow, at Imminent risk, and taking our
wounded, and for kind and humane treatment man
ifested towards them on the way up, doing every
thing possible, rendering aid amf relieving their
sufferings.
Several guns captured bj Forrest a 4 Fort Pillow
were spiked before falling Into his bands. Others
were turned upon gunboat No. 7, which, from ex
haustion of ammunition, having fired some three
hundred rounds, was compelled to withdraw.
Although only tin-clad she received but Blight
injmy.
Gen. Lee arrived and assumed command at the
begimus of the battle, previous to which Chalmers
directed the movements.
Forrest with his main force retired after the
fight to Brownsville, takingwith him the captured
Suns, while the steamer Platte Valley lay under
og of truce taking on wounded rebel officers.
Among them Chalmers went aboard, and some of
onr officers showed them great deference, drinking
with them and showing them othermarks of cour
tesy. Prominent among oar officers lathis affair is
said to have been Capt. Woodruff, isth Illinois
Infantry.

As soon as the people heard of the occurence,
there was a general rash for the boats. An order

Government stores, was also towed across at half
past two o’clock.
General Enford, C. S. Am sent in a flag of trace

[Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.)
Washington, April 15,1664.
CONGHESeIONAL.
The House refuted to receive the Conference
Committee's report on the Montana Territory bill,
and cppointed anew committee of conference, with
instructions to agree only as follows: On qualifica
tions of voters—free male white citizens and
those who have declared intention of citizenship.
The Senate was indignant at the language of the
House instructions and refused a new committee.
If the House recedes from Its Instructions a new
committee will probably agree to the qualifications
as desired by the House.
coNonssmoNAL.
In opening the discussion on the bill to prevent
speculation in gold, Mr. Sherman submitted the
following letter from Secretary Chase:
Tbeascbt Dsfabtsisst, April 12,18 M.
Sou —Notwithstanding the diminished amonnt
of U. S. notes In circulation, and the gradual with
drawal from use or currency of interest bearing U.
S. notes made legal tender by the face, the price of
gold continues to advance.
This effect can only be attributed to one of two
causes, and is probably due In pan to each. First,
tLe increase ofnotes of local banks, and second,
to the efforts of spectators.
1 have already submitted through yon to the con
sideration ofthe Committee on Finance, a bill in
tended as a remedy for the first evil, and now beg
to submit for yonr consideration a bill intended as
a remedy lor the second.
The first, if it becomes law, will have, I doubt
not, most salutary consequences. The effect of
the second will probably be more Immediate,
though, perhaps, not of such permanent import
ance. 1 ask consideration for both, and tho favor
able action of Congress. If approved, it mnsc not
be thought, however, that 1 regard either or both
of these measures as adequate remedies for finan
cial disorders. Nothing short of taxation to one
half of the amount of the current expenditures,
and the reduction of expenditures to the lowest
point computable with efficiency, will insure finan
cial success to the Government; and without mili
tary success, all measures will fall.
very respectfully, S. P. Chase.
' During the debate, Messrs. Sherman, Fessenden,
Sumner and Chandler, expressed their doabts If
the passage of the bill would accomplish all that
he Secretary of the Treasury desired to effect, but
would give him the bill because Tt could do no
harm, and wonld help to overthrow the evil of gold
speculations.
Sherman that the financial trouble la
largely doe to yhe action of Congress In giving
bounties to veterans and otben without providing
means to pay them; asserted that Government
bonds are worth 15 to 18 per cent more than they
were two years ago, and 10 to 12 per cent more
than a year ago; that $300,000 In gold Is all that Is
needed In legitimate business dally in New York,
while thirty millions were bought and sold by
gamblers, and that operations he was not at liber
ty to specify under the bill passed a month ago al
lowing the Secretary to sell gold, prevented the
advance to 2(0 per cent on Thursday.
Messrs. Cowan, Johnson and Collsmcr opposed
the bill.
The amendments exempting foreign exchange
from the operation of the bill, and striking ont the
provision requiring payment by actual delivery of
greenbacks or national currency, were lost.
Amotion to strike ont the second section, re
quiring- sales to be made at regular places of basi
nets, was lost, by IS to 25.

Washington, April 18,1864.
TUX expulsion op mb. long.
Itmsy be settled that Ur. Long will not be ex
pelled, and he may not be censored, although a
censure is a sort of Indefinite punishment. Any
man can be censured in Congress, at least in de
bate, and any member can take U on himself to
censure another. Bat the question of the expul
sion of a member for words spoken in debate, la
one which involves the right of parliamentary
privilege Itself, for if every man Is not allowed to
give bis ideas on any subject, he apeaks under dn
*resa, and there can be no freedom of debate under
duress. I notice that many of the Union men take
this view of the question, and will not only rote
but speak against the principle sought to be en
forced in the resolution of Ur. Collar. I learn that
a majority almost on the Administration side are
really, privately, of. this way of thinking.
As I have pointed ont In my letters
from the commencement of the session, there is a
want of unity of action among the Union men.
Some man getsa crochet in his head, and forthwith
he must spring it npon the House without consult
ation. He Is apparently afraid that if he submits
Ms crotchet to the caucus, some more bold or Impu
dent member will snatch bis bantling from his
bauds and claim Its paternity. This Is a bad state
of things, especially for a party in power, and will
end sorely In confusion if not disaster. 2 notice
most of the leading papers in the Hast take this
view of Long's case. ilr. Fessenden’s position In
the case of Garret Davis, which he lain down In
Ms truly great speech,! consider to be folly appli
cable to this of Mr. Long, and 1 respectfully com
mend it to the attention of members who are In
clined to let their feclla;s run away with their
Judgment. Let ns bring the position of Ur. Long
home to bis party, and thus fasten npon it the legit
imate conclusions of the teachings of Its leading
men. We can In this way do more damage to the
traitors, than in putting ourselves in the wrong in
order to vent onr Indignation, however righteous
it may be, upon individual Copperheads. The de
bate was continued till half past eleven last night,
with nndiminiehed interest on both sides. Daring
its progress the Copperheads attacked the Now
England States, especially Massachusetts, and said
they had no stomach for fighting- This bass
charge was repelled by Mr, Bontwoll of Mass., Mr.
GrinneD of lowa, and others.
