Mkmphis, Taau, July 19,' 1862,
Mr. Editor: In any other times than those
upon which we have fallen, a proposition for
gradual emancipation made in a Memphis jour
nalj'TrouId have been leceived with a terrible
outburst of indignation, and I, your humble
correspondent one 4 year wnee,' oulJ likely
have joined in an effort toezpel from our midst
the publisher of such an unwelcome doctrine.
But tin: have radically changed, omens fill
our sky, and men now, even in our city, reflect
under Federal gunboaU as' we have never done
before. ' I fen no enemy of our system of hu
man bondage, but have always agreed with Dr.
Breckenridge, that the rights of labor and the
interests of pcor white men are mora sacred
than the rights ol capital, whether invested in
lands W Africans! ' t i ' , , .
And, despising Abolitioniita ard cotton
burning Rebels equally, I would, with John
son, and 'Drake of Missouri, and such men,
however, as the last resort, rataer see gradual
emancipation, with compensation, take place,
than the Federal Union of our fathers de
stroyed. Our raUtakf, I now see distinctly,
has bsn in claiming too much for the institu
tion of slavery. And, although the cry. of
abolition at the North may have precipitated
that state of things, it would have been better
for our caue to have allowed a few fanatics to
have howled out their brief hour, and to have
relied upon the sober, staid conservatism of the
Northern masses.
We are not without our portion of original
responsibility "alsot fjr if I understand the
history of my country correctly, the slavehold
ing fathers of tho Revolution of 1776 regarded
the African slave trade & an evil, a d tbe in
stitution of domestic bondage equally so, and
charged the original crime on the King and
Parliament, . No man ever denied this, and
never can. And 1 suppose it is equally true
that "Washington and the best men of Virginia
desired the time to hasten when gradual
emancipation coull take place.
A later class of slaveholders however, for
getting that which influenced such men as
Madbon and his copatrioti, viz: that, in Jef
ferson's language, " Heaven's justice could not
always slumber," . attempted to change . tha
doctrine that slavery was an evil, into - that
declaration that it was a good &nd a patriarchal
institution. And this step once taken, there
was no retreat, or chance of return. For cu
pidity and avarice claimed, and who could
withstand their reasoning, that if c good, it
should not be limited to the original States,
where the fathers claimed it belonged exclu
sively but should be allowed the range of tho
Territories. Now as an old man I can remem
ber very well in the days of Felix Grundy and
Henry Clay, when such men made the trip to
Washington city on horse back, how Clay used
to say his body servant was 'a free man from
the time he crossed the line of Kentucky, going
North; and such were the decUions of tbe
Supreme Court of the United States.' Making
it a local, not a national institution. But the
next step-was, if it is a good, instead of an evil,
the product of its labor must have free trade and
easy access to market, and hence nullification of
the tariff laws. But blessed be the memory of
my old friend Andrew Jackson, and how my
heart -Va pained .tha other day .to see his
statue defaced in the park), he lived then to
tell South Carolina "The Federal Union
must be preserved." " But men said if a good,
it should be protected, and therefore many
took the view, that it must have guarrantees
of safety by the Federal Congress, and that
we know would have changed the whole oriz-
inal pi licy of the Government. And then a
very few boia men, scud and argued, if a good,
wny noi enjoy it at low figures, and goto
Africa for our slaves, and cease to let Virginia
and Maryland have a monopoly in breeding
slaves. -Oa this.' wa differed among ourselves.
and the whole North was against us. And
when the Confederacy was organized we dare
not risk the consequences of that doctrine with
the border States and "England. Others-said
if it be a good it must be respected, and if
any one speaks about it in a disrespectful man
ner let him be" driven from the South and
hence secret committees, tar and feathers, and
many good men of tne r4 orth, through mis
take warn unfortunately persecuted, produc
ing mucn irritation, l admit that there seems
to be something plausible in the theory that we
men of the South are not allowed. " .Liberty.

U: and .vaj tirae of life, and amid a oelnge
of blood allow me to say it to younger men who
may not remember the tact. When the slave

thit thereafter States should be created from
that territory, in which the people should en

States, and then almost the next day, the same
men of V irgiftiaitt several eases, representing
tne same sentiment voted for, - the celebrated

Russian lniarrcellen National Arson.
The political agitation in Russia takes a
most serious turn, which seems nearly inexpli

spreading with fearful rapidit j throughout the
country. In St. Petersburg, the business part
of tho capital has been destroyed by lire.

as it was in France in 1829. Tens of thousands

the incendiaries, who, strange to say, find apol

An Awfal Army Awfully Arrayed Bold
ly by Hatter jr Besiege Belgrade.". ,,
Daily conflicts at Belgrade between the gar
rison of the Turkish fortress and the Serb pop
ulation led, on the 16th, to a serious conflict, in
which the Turks were expelled from the town
and the fortified gates fell into the power of the
people. Though the losses were comparatively
small, thirteen Serbs and two Turks being
killed, both parties became most intensely ex
cited. The Turkish garrison mutined against
the Pasha, who attempted in vain to calm their
agitation; and on the 17th the town was bom
barded, though the Consuls of all the European
powers had solemnly protested against such an
act of wanton cruelty. Garashanin, the Serb
President of the Council, called tbe militia of
the neighboring counties to tbe aid of the cap
ital, and though the fight was stopped on the
18th, it is scarcely possible that the agitation
should subside. France and Russia now take
up the quarrel and even Austria fears lest the
conflict might lead to a conflagration of the
Slavonian provinces of tho Turkish empire.
Protest Against tne Bombardment.
The Oriental affairs grew every day more
serious. Though Belgrade is connected by
wire with all Europe, we have no more details
about the bombardment of the town. Evi
dently the information is kept back by the
Austrian government. We know only that
the Minister Garashanin has summoned the
country people to assemble in arms at Bel
grade; that an attack upon the fortress was
expected, but that the Sultan; aware of the
danger, ordered at once conciliatory measures
to be adopted. Asheer Pasha, the commander
of the citadel, has been dismissed, and an in
quest into the late events is preparing. It is
said that Mr. Lengworth, the English consul
at Belgrade, advised the Pasha to act with
energy, though all the other consuls had pro
tested against the bombardment of the town.

as an event of the greatest importance, since
it would soon be followed by the recognition
of Prussia and several minor German Courts
dependent upon Russia, at for instance Baden
and Wuitemberg.: Thus" Austria, becoming
still more isolated, might be induced to come

Official Report of tha Battle In Mexico
How tbe Mexicans wonldnt rnn away
How tbe French Did.
At length,' after a good deal of whiting and
wondering, the Moniteur of this morning pub
lishes the report of Gen. Lorencez in relation
to the battle of Puebla, by which it appears
that the loss of the French in the 'glorious
combat" was fi.ee n officers and 162 privates
killed and 20 officers and 285 privates wound
ed or missing. But the lesson which General
Lorencez learned before Puebla was not con
fined to tbe fact that Mexicans instead of run
ning away at their first glimpse of the invin
cible Zouaves, would s-tand their ground and
fight well; for ho. says, ratXer bitterly, after
recounting his lof, 'Such was my situation
before Puebla, the city the most hostile to
Juarez, according to those in whose opinion I
bad a right to repose confidence, and who for
mally assured me that, according to informa
tion which they themselves ' had gathered, I
would bo received there with transport, and
that my troops would enter the city covered
with flowers.": . ' ,
Instead of which "glowing prospect," how
ever, his soldiers did not enter it at all, and
were greeted with bullets instead of roses.
There is no doubt that the French Govern
ment, as well as Gen. Lorencez, has been most
egregriously deceived by " Almonte and his
partisans as to the disposition of the 3nextcan
people toward the French, and that it waa
really believed that they would greet them
with joy, and rush out of their towns, cities
and villages and ranches to meet them, and
receive at their hands with joy the "regenerat
ing" balm which the Emperor, in the plenti-,
tude of his world-wide benevolence, had sent
them. ,
Napolean Fishing with a Wrong Bait In
Mexico, la about to Crawfish tn Paris.-
: It seems that no troops are t be sent from
France to Mexico immediately. The dispatch
boat Forfeit left Cherbourg two days ago,
bearing M. d'Ornant, first aid de-camp to Gen.
Forey, and conveying orders, it is said, to tha
military commandant at Martinique to hold
alt his troops in readiness to proceed ta Vera
Cruz, in case Gen. Lorences shall call for
them ; and in the course of the next fortnight
fifteen hundred of the- troops who have been
serving in Algeria will take their departure
for Martinique, where they will go into camp
and such other troops as may be needed will
be sent out in September. During hu delay,
however, it is now pretty generally thought,
the Emperor will find some plausible pretext
tor " crawfishing " and getting out of the un
fortunate scrape, into which this, his first po
litical mistake, has brought him. The Patrie,
however, sticks to it that the imperial policy
has not or will not undergo any change ; that
the population of Mexico is to be consulted by
means ot , " universal suffrage," that great
French panacea for all human ills, when ad-i
ministered by French bayonets, and that, as
the people decide, so shall be their lot. .. b.

Lord Brongham on tha TJnchr lstlan

In the House of Lords, on the 1st inet , Lord

that he wished briefly, as a fellow Cnristian, to

Hint to tha Rebels from an English M, P.
, In the House af Commons, on the 30th' of
June, bir j. rerguson, speaking on the system
of fortifications of England, said : Now, what
was the preposition of the government 7 ' It
was, if he unaersfood," to establish a chain of
forts around our 1 dockyards and arsenals
works which would prevent an irregular force
hurriedly brought together, from being over
powered,, and would enable tis te have sum

That being so, he would just ask the Hoase to

tained that our fleetshould constitute our only
Eariaad Afraid of Lotisc Canada.
" Into this vexed question, however, we are
not now disposed to enter, as our subsequent
remarks will be confined to the position of
Canada, relative to these complicated designs
of the Federal government. Not that we ap
prehend any momentary intention upon the '
part of America to assiil the British depend
encies ; no thought, we believe, is at present
further from the minds of ber 6latesment; but
with the growth of a navy new ideas may arise
involving new contingencies. To the estab
lishment of a maritime power two causes are
peculiarly conducive time and opportunity.
The tedious character of the war which now
continues its ravages in the new world, and the
likelihood that it may bt protracted to a still
more indefinite period, serve to give efficiency
to both these causvs. Now, us much by express
t.eAty as by tacit agreement, it has been under
stood that the waters of the St. Lawrence are
to be kept perfec ly neutral, and that to insure
this result the naval force of Great Britain and
that of America are not to grow to a great
head in that natural boundary of the two em
pires. . But if we see American statesment in
tent upon changing their policy, and eager to
form a powerful and overwhelming navy,
an English minister will be perfectly jus
tified -if he reconsiders such conventions.
There being no doubt hat should war un
fortunately ever take place between England
ud the Federal btates, Canada wou'd be the
point of attack for our enemy, it is worth while
reflecting whether we cannot turn the immense
seaboard possessed by our dependency to more
advantage. V nder our present conditions we
should have to undergo much bloodshed, be
sides incurring considerable expense during a
war, oeiore we could oe masters ot an emeient
fleet at the scene of action ; and an improvised
navy at its best is but a poor substitute for a
marine which has been' during several years
properly organized. This is m subject which
ere long is likely to force itself upon the atten
tion oj the Untish Government. By land, Ca
nada is far more secure from attack ' than ' is
generally imagined. The statistics cf Colonel
De Salaberry show that there are now 117,200
.men, rank and file, in the militia of Upper
Canada, whilst in Lower Canada the number
rises to 118,469. It must be borne in mind
that this defensive force is a far more real and
substantial army, when it is wanted, than
toould be an agre&siv force equal to it nume
rically, but composed of men who come to
gether impelled bya greedy desire ' of - spoil,
but ready to run away at the first disappoint
ment. By water, not by land, we repeat will
future danger arise to Canada, unless Our
government take far greater precautions than
have hitherto been deemed expedient.

For, firstly, what does the development of
tbe naval element in America mean 7 :-Is it
against the Confederates that it is directed!
Is it in order to crush their . actual enemies
that every arsenal in the' Federal States shows
signs ef unwanted activity 7 This certainly
is not the case, as since tbe -disastrous fate of
the Merimac the Washington government is
able to sweep the seas and rivers with it fleets.
so far as tne uoniederates, whose strength lies
in their land forces, are concerned. Then, If
the object of these extensive, naval prepara
tions cannot be the enemy' now in .the . field,
we must infer that there are ulterior consider
ations that there is a design to strengthen
tbe American navy as against old established
marines f in other words, to maintain a fleet
which may successfully cope with the ships of
France, Russia ongiana. - weat .Britain,
however, is more immediately pointed at in
this project, as it seems to be almost a tradi
tionary policy on the part of American' poli
ticians to cultivate irienoiy relations with the
surprise of France and Russia, while England
is treated by them with coolness or contumely.
tven though they tlare not proceed td overt
violence. A great country can, In Spite of
these hostile manifestations, pursue its course
of dignified moderation undisturbed by pass
ing events ; it can, well afford to dispense with
Hollow fcnd insincere friendships; ' Prepared
itself for the - alternative of either peace or
war, it may marvel in silence at reckless ex
4 penditure upon the part of a foreign . State at
a time wnen tne national ueot oi mat state la
jexeeedingthe experience "of- past -ages. But
it would, notwithstanding, ill become jt minis
ter ' ct the British d crown not to prepare fipt
ihrpatf-ned eventualitiM.' and . not SO to hus
band the resources at his' disposal as tot give
them full play where hey- are most needed.
These reflections, we may b sure, aaa no in
significant force to the able arguments which
we have beard recently in. iavor or retrench
ment, when we lave been 'busying ourselves

Oxraipoui ence of the V. Tribune.
MaKcHIstir,' Eag'J una Z9, 1862. I think
by this time vouf are t convinced that I was
xightj and had good grouada for assaring yoa'
England would not interfere in our rebellion,
You may, however, be-somewhat puzzled to
1 " . '
hear
so constantly these rumors of interven-
tiou and mediation. " Aa a rul. voti -will ob
serve they come from France.' I think I can
explain the matter. The leaders of the rebel- ,
lion thought England could not do withont
Cotton, and, whether she would or no, must
assist them. They a'so knew, what all the
world knows now, that the aristocratic party
here hated all things American, and would be
glad to assist so far as possible in the work of
destroying the Great Republic. The Rebels
did not and could not for ' a moment admit
that cotton was not king, and on nothing
counted with more certainty than help from
England. How wonderfully God in His
providence arranged it so that the withhold
ing of cotton was the salvation of the cotton
manufactures I have already shown. And .
the very interest that was supposed would
brake through all laws, human and divine, "to
those who do not understand the cotton trade,
found its interest to pretest against the very
act it was supposed they wolud commit, in
fact, to be the potent voice against it. Fooling
that England must be on thtfr side, the next
step was to secure France. She must be bribed.
How ? The Emperor has a cousin: an Amer
ican known here as Patterson Bonaparte, cf
Baltimore, whom it would be for family rea
sons well to provide for. We know the rebel
lion meant a monarchy. W ho so desirable as
iiir. t'atterson Bonaparte f What could so
pluase the French Emperor as the magnificent
prospect of a great Bon a part is t kingdom or
empire in North America? How it would de
light France acd revenge all her devotees
there! Now you have the key. I need not
work out the problem. You can do so at your
leisure. Only I can say I think you will find
the key to fit all the mysteries you cannot ex
plain. Ycu will find, as usual, when he has a
deep game to play, Louis Nnpoleon makes some
one else the cat's paw, while he pretends the
greatest iriendslnp for the party he intends to
cheat. He kept his plans a secret, encouraged
the Tories of England to interfere in America,
and he would asst. Gets Spain to interfere
in Mexico, an" he would assist. How near ho
succeeded in befooling Palmerston and Russell
in the Trent matter the world sees. Spain was
put to some expense; so was England; and it
was on I , atter Almonte went to Mexico that
Spain and England found what the real game
was. They were not deceived by the announce
ment that an Archduke of Austria was to bo
the King, though the Archduke himself may
cave been. - Hence their otherwise quite mys
terious retreat from that expedition. Heuce
the change in the English press, so that tbe
Tunes is iorced to gay there is no intention to
inttft-fere in America. Hence, so far as I can
see, a growing' tendency to conciliate, on the
part of Spain at least, the United States gov
ernment, and hence the otherwise mad prose
cution of the Mexican war on the part of
France.
But how is this thing to work? Easy ,
enough. Patterann Bonaparte is elected C!)
King of Mexico. What better name for the
great Bonaparte Empire in America. Seces-
sia is, by the acts of the leaders, annexed to
Mexico, and France, who only lights for ideas,
stands godfather to the brat thus born. It is
a notorious fact (exp.-iiuU tbove) that every
Bonapart. ist - in France is for the South, while
every Onanist and Republican' is for the
is orth.- - That .England will not discourage the .
efl'ort of France,-you may rely. JLTot that she
hopes or thinks it will succeed, hut she looks
upon au exhaustion of France as I r gam.
ThatTalmerston will now retort on Napoleon
and encourage him oi to his harm, I beaeve
but that does not imply that he wishes him
success. - Bad as he hates America, he hates
France more, after alL ' Disraeli charged hiiu
in the Houso with the proposition that Lyons .
and Mercie were at loggerheads. Tou can
now see why.. Palmerston denied it, and you
can believe as much as you please. That Mer
cier ha? deceive! the American government, I
can believe, but he should not be able to do so
any longer. -. r
The Patterson .Bonaparte view ot the Amer
ican' aimcuity was presented to me some
weeks since. I said nothing until I could re
view the matter, put together the chain of evi
dence, and every day makes it appear more
plain. s : X think it will be lound tne trail to tne
rattlesnake's den. " '
What is, then, to be done ? Time is all gain -
to us,' all loss to France. Time-prepares us .
for a great war, conquers and reclaims the
South, so that she will go heartily into tbe
punishment of France, lor her treachery.
.Time cooli down the excitement in England
and strengthens the hands of our friends here,
who are many, wuis over tne wavering, w men
makes - up the great majority, weakens the
French alliance, and turns England's face to
America. k The French are great at a dasb.
Americans are great at "hold on.1.! France is
easily exhausted ; . we grow stronger by con-,
flict. A bad; harvest, a few reverses, and Na
poleon will have his lauds full to keep his
throne.' Time is our great weapon, and if
Seward can amuse them by diplomacy for sixi
months, we can fall on him like an avalanche. ,
There has been a great change in the Euro-"
pean mind about America, and it is going n.
Time u there working to our advantage. The
feeling in England ist' from .highest to lowest,
oue of . great relief to find she has kept out of
the 'American war. That feeling will in the
end bring other and kind feelings in time.
We pick up a crumb oi comfort now and
then on the slavery question, but wo still long
for the great work of emancipation to begin.
