Explained. The Cincinnati Enquirer,
of Sunday last, contains the following:
"Two organizations in favor of the
war and its prosecution cannot be kept
up. They are clearly unnecessary. A
contest between two factions, each in fa
vor substantially of the same policy, is
ridiculous."
This is a more candid avowal than we
had any reason to expect It is the rea
son, in nuce, as Mr. Carlyle would say, of
the whole Butternut movement The
Louisville Democrat was a strong Union
paper, until it lound that, by
persever ,
i n Qirinrr
ing in that course, it would be playing
second fiddle to the Journal. The same
is true of the Cincinnati Enquirer. It
would have been for the vigorous prose
cution of tha war, had not the other pa
pers of that city taken that course and
over-shadowed it By opposing the war
it enlisted all the rebel sympathizers in
its support and largely increased its cir
culation and profits. Its proprietors
would sacrifice tbe country to put money
into their own pockets. Perhaps, how
ever, they have seen from the start, that
their efforts would amount to nothing
and they laugh in thei: sleeves, while
they pocket the hard earned savings of
their dupes.

The Providence Journal prints a let
ter, never before made public, from John
()uiney Adams to Rev. Dr. Channing, in
which is contained a curious bit of secret
history, showing the origin of what is
called the " Monroe Doctrine." It will
be seen by this letter that under the most
trying circumstances and the severest
temptations, the American government
acted with the most sincere good faith
toward a friendly power Spain and
with the most open and frank courtesy
toward t vo other powers, who were at the
time our rivals for the possession of Cuba.
It will be seen, too, that the agreement
against Eurojiean intervention in Ameri
can affairs, which afterward took shape
and was formally announced as a policy
by Mr. Monroe, in one of his annual
messages whence the name of "Monroe
Doctrine " had its origin in a sugges
tion or proposition made by the British
government to our own; go that English
men may claim the credit of originating

Qtrmcrr, Aug. 11,1837.
Rev. William E. Channing, D. D., New
port, R. I. :
My Deak Sir It was in
; September, 1 822, that the events to which
j I alluded in my speech in the House of
i Representatives of the 2oth of May, 183G,
! took place. It was the time when the
i Spanish Government of the Cortes was
! overthrown by the French invasion un
der the Duke D'Angouleme. Great Brit
ain became alarmed, lest under the shel
ter of that revolution the Island of Cuba
should pass into the possession of France.
The French Governmemt fabricated
or was imposed upon by a report that
the British Cabinet had determined to
send a squadron to take possesion of the
island. The people of the Havana, di
vided into parties between the Cortes
and the king, were terrified by premoni
tory symtoms of negro insurrection and
looking round for a protector. There
was a party for resorting to Great Brit
ain, a party for adhering to Spain, and
a party for seeking admission to the
North American Union the last of
which was strongest. A proposition was
then made by a secret agent from them
to Mr. Monroe to this effect that they
by a popular movement, of the success
of which they had no doubt, would de
clare the Island independent of Spain if
the Governmant of the United States
would promise them protection and ad
mit them into the Union under a State
constitution, on the model of those of
our Southern States, and with the un
derstanding that as the population of the
Island should increase they should be at
liberty to divide themselves into two
States, and have that proportion of rep
resentatives in the Congress of the Uni
ted States. As the inducement to the
American Government to pledge their
Drotection, they were assured that the
alternative would probably be the prev: -lease
of the party in the Island for the I
colonial connection with Great Britain
and a resort to her for protection, j
While this proposition was under consid- !
oration of Mr. Monroe and his On-liinet.
the French Minister at Washington, by a
verbal, irresponsible, communication, not
to the Secretary of btate, the only me
dium of official intercourse between for
eign Ministers and the Government of
the United States, but to Mr. Crawford,
the Secretary of the Treasury, assevera
ted that the French Government had se
cret but positive information that the
British Government had deliberately de
termined to take possession of Cuba.
The answer ot Mr. Monroe to the pro
position from the Havana was that the
friendly relations existing between the
United States and Spain did not permit
them to promise countenance or protec
tion to any insurrectional movement
against her authority. Their advice to
the people of Cuba was to adhere, as long
as possible, to their allegiance to Spain
that an attempt of either Great Britain
or France to occupy the island would
present the projiosal from the Havana
under a different point of view, concern
ing which the President was not author
ized to pledge prospectively the action
of the United States, but that the people
of the Havana might be assured of the
! deep interest which, under all the cir
! cumstances which might occur, the
American Government would take in
their welfare and their wishes.
It was the opinion of at least one mem-
ber of Mr,
Monroe's administration that
the occupation of the Island of Cuba by
Great Britain should be resisted even at
the cost of a war. Their unanimous j
opinion was that a very explicit though ,
confidential communication should be !
made to Mr. Canning, that the United j
States could not see with indifference ;
t the occupation of Cuba bv anv EuroDean
-,L ,i, c 'j
power outer tnau spam, ana that ru
mors had reached the American Gov
ernment that such an intention was en
tertained by the British cabinet, which
made it necessary to ask an explanation
of their views.
JVf OENING-
EVANSVILLE, IND., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23 lSr3.
Mr. Hush was instructed accordingly;
Mr. Canning disavowed emphatically all
intention on the part of Great Britain to
take possession of the Island, but avow
ed her determination not to see with in
difference its occupation, either by France
or by the United States, and he told Mr.
Rush of, the squadron dispatched by
Louis XYIII. to the West Indies, with
out notifying him of the expedition, and
of the schooling he had ordered the Brit
ish Embassador at Paris to give the
French Cabinet for that sin of omission.
Mr. Canning then proposed that, by &
mutual understanding between the Brit
ish, French and American Governments,
without any formal treaty or convention,
Cuba should be left in the quiet posses
sion of Spain, without interference in the
government of the Island. This was
precisely the policy which Mr. Monroe
believed to be best adapted to the inter
est and the duties of the United States,
and he cheerfully assented to it There
was no further communication between
him and the French Government on the
subject, and so far a8 France was con
cerned, the arrangement was left to be
concerted between her and Great Britain.
The people of the island of Cuba sub-
mitTArl tn tho (Inrarnmanl r.f Ur.A n n A

received a Viceroy and Captain General
in the person of General Vives, who had
been Minister from Spain to the United
States; one of the most upright and hon
orable men with whom it has ever been
my fortune to hold political relations.
He was precisely the man to tranquilize
and conciliate the submission of the peo
ple of the islaad to their own Govern
ment, and he so effectually accomplished
that purpose that the Government of the
United States heard nothing further of
intended insurrection in Cuba during the
remainder of Mr. Monroe's Administra
tion and the whole of mine.
All these transactions were at the
time profoundly secret
I am, - of course, your unalterable
friend, J. Q. Adams.
A Prophecy. Gen. B. F. Butler, in
his speech at Oxford, Chester county,
Pennsylvania, on Tuesday last, uttered
the following predictions:
But to me this contest has a nobler
and a wider significance than who shall
rule in Pennsylvania, In this contest is
involved the very life of the nation, now
engaged in a struggle which shall give
her a proud name among the nations of
the earth, or sink her deep among the
depressed implements which in God's
providence has failed to work out that
destiny which seemed to be her glory.
And why do I say to you that in the
contest in Pennsylvania there is such an
issue involved? Because, in my judg
ment, if, to-day, the great State of New
York, the great State of Ohio, and the
Keynt..;ie of the Arch Pennsylvania
should give back to the South the same
sound that far-distant California has giv
enthat Maine, too, has given, in their
decided, firm, and outspoken majority
not for party, but for country that in
ninety days from date and I atn no
will be ended.

Filling Up the Army. The Vallan
digham press, with amgular unanimit v,
are now calling on the Union men ii(
Ohio to volunteer and fill up the ranks
of the army. Do they think their oppo
nents ought to furnish all the soldiers?
It will be seen that about ninety-eight ou!
of every one hundred now in the service
are Union meu. The Vallandtgham
men compose about three-eights of the
home vote. Ought they not to furnish
more than one-fiftieth of the army?
Or do they, like their representative,
Griffiths, confess that they have no in
terest in the fight?" Let them till up
their three-fifths of the army, before they
call on Union men to do any more. If
Lieut. Gov. Pugh could summon 200,000
Democrats to inaugurate civil war in
Ohio, can he not furnish one-fifth that
number to fight back rebel armies? To

The New Style of Lambs' Bonnets.
Thursday last the prominent milliners
of New York opened the sale of their
fall stock of fashionable goods. It was
what is called " opening day " and the
ladies, it is stated, were out in unusually
large numbers, in search of the latest
style of bonnets. Some of them are thus
described by a writer:
" French styles are mo3t in vogue.
The hih-topped, scuttle-shaped patterns
are tabooed, and in their place we have
something approaching the always neat
and becoming cottage bonnet. Unpre
tending straw, too, 13 gradually coming
into favor again, to the exclusion of
gaudy colors. The profusion of red and
scarlet, which has been so conspicuous
a feature all summer, has been succeed
ed by a violet and vermillion and the
dark colors; a change in perfect harmo
ny with an improved taste. Misses'
bonnets have a rose or a leaf of laurel,
or a sprig of myrtle; "only that and
nothing more." As to prices, these, as
usual, take a wide range. Suffice it to
say, that quotations vary from $5 up to
$25(S '.$30. The latter, however, are in
demand from ladies whose husbands or
sweethearts liavu army 01 navy Con-
j tracts."
The Wounded on the Field of Bat
tle. If any body thinks that when our
men are stricken upon the field they fill
the air with cries and groans, till it
shivers with such evidences of agony, he
greatly errs. An arm is shattered, a leg
carried away, a bullet pierces the breast,
and the soldier sinks down silently upon
the ground, or creeps away, if he can,
without a murmer or complaint; falls as
the sparrow falls, speechlessly, and like
that sparrow, I earnestly believe, falls
not without the Father. The dying
horse gives out his fearful utterance of
almost human suffering, but the man
gled rider is dumb. The crash of mus
ketry, the crack of rifles, the roar of
guns, the shriek of shells, the rebel
whoop, the Federal cheer, and the inde
scribable undertone of grinding, rum
bling, splintering sound, make up the
voices ot the battle held. Uor.

EDITION.
The Steamer Takascon. The Louis,
ville Journal, in its notice of the launch
of this magnificent new steamer, gives
some items of history connected with her
christening, from which we give liberal
extracts below:
" She bears the name of one of the old
pioneers of Louisville, a man identified
with the youth and the more mature
prcsperity of the city, and one who was,
in his day, widely known as among the
most enterprising of the business men of
the West or Southwest We refer to the
late John A. Tarascon. The boat of
Messrs. Sherley, Wolfolk & Co., could
not be named after a better man, nor one
more worthy to be kept in remembrance
by the merchants and steamboatmen of
the West.
John A. and Louis Tarascon, brothers.
came to this country from France dur
ing the troublous times that followed the
beheading of Louis XVI. They were
. compelled to flee heVe for safety. Louis
had been somewhat prominent in the
revolution, it being his nature to seek
excitement and prominence, while John
A. was always quiet, reserved, and never
meddled with politics. They settled first
in Philadelphiaf, and from about 1790 to
lobO Louis was known as one of the
largest shippers of that city. In 1800,
the Tarascons established a shipyard at
Pittsburg, under the agency of the well
known Anthony Beeling. Here they
built four large ships, each three masts
and four hundred tens burden, which
they loaded with American produce and
despatched to Europe, the vessels start
ing from Pittsburg, proceeding down the
Ohio into the Mississippi, thence to the
Gulf, and thence to Hamburg and other
ports. When one of these vessels (either
the Nanine or Tuscarora, we are uncer
tain which) arrived at Hamburg and re
ported herself, the authorities suspected
something wrong, and declared there
was no such port known as Pittsburg;
but they were convinced of their error
when the Captain procured a map of the
United States, and running his finger
along the Gulf to New Orleans, thence
up the Mississippi and Ohio rivers,
pointsd out the port of Pittsburg, which
had sent this first commercial messenger
direct from an inland American port to
Europe, inaugurating a new era in the
commerce of the world. But commer
cial enterprises, like all others, have
their reversions. So it was with this en
terprise of the Tarascons, who, foresee
ing the mighty commercial results which
must follow the opening to the world of
the trade of the Great West, had made
this adventure, earnest in the trust that
it was the inaugurative of a new era in
the world's trade. These four vessels
were, unfortunately, confiscated under
the Berlin and Milan decrees, and were
a total loss to Louis, who was principal
owner in them. This bankrupted him,
and thereafter the whole business of the
brothers was conducted under the name
and with the capital of John A. Taras
c n.
About the time of the establishment of
the business at Pittsburg by Beeling, the
... . . . . ir o.
i arascons also established at !?hi
Wt, b-mw tins cty, a large , milling and
uuiuuiciLiai uoir, uiuei uih v.c , g aim
mpernsioli of James IL-rthood. A rew
years thereafter, the Tarascons them
selves settled at Shippingport, and soon
became leading and influential men
among the trade of this section. In all
the transactions of this firm, the name
of John A. Tarascon was known only on
' 'Change." He did business for many
years in Louisville, was one of the larg
est traders of his day, and at times really
controlled the produce market of the
West.
The brothers Tarascon were men of
strongly marked characters. John A,,
was plain and unostentatious in man
ners, sensitive, confiding, and generous,
and withal a man of a nice sense of
honor and most sterling integrity. Like
all others of our early pioneers, the Ta
rascons had their reverses. John A. in
vested largely in the celebrated-"Yazoo
Claim," and his losses were heavy. His
energy and enterprise 60on overcame
those losses, and he died in possession
of a liandaoarM competence.
The early works on the navigation of
the Ohio and Mississippi, and Butler's
Kentucky make honorable mention of
the Tarascons, and give them a place
among the distinguished pioneers of
Western commerce. Messrs. Sherley,
Wolfolk & Co. have done well to perpetu
ate the name in their new and beautiful
