There is much food for reflection In the following remarkable article from a late Richmond paper: From tbe RIch nond Sentinel, July 23. Of all the. formal cxpie-sinns of public opinion which have come to us fro tu the United S'ates, we luve noticed but one that has a kind word for the people of these Confederate States. True, they all claim that we are one people with them; that we belong to the same country Httd the same govern merit; and, in hrt, are their brethren. But the dominant party breathes out against us nothing but slaughter and destruction, and denounces "a with as much demoniacal fury j "As all the fiend from Heaven that fell, Had peuled the bar.ner-cry of Hell." They intend to have us again by sheer Itrute force. They disdain the very thought of cou ceding sr much as a civil word to the "vile Reb Is!" They intend to have us, that they may crush and destroy us. They scout with fury any compromise short of this They are filled with rage at the bare mention of it. The rumor has gone out that Seward thinks the time has come when he ma?, with some ho-e, try upon us his hypocritical blandishments and hid false preten eions never falser than when he swears never less secure than when he pledges his sacred word cf honor. Hut the very mention that Seward proposes to address us conciliatory words, no muter how hollow and treacherous, has thrown his followers into- a paroxysm of rage, and they are denouncing him almost as fariously as they denounce us. The meetings of the Democratic or peace party have not pone so f ir as this. They denounce the war as wickedly anl inefficiently conducted, ami they declare for peace as the bett means of securing reunion. War they consider as hopeless to effect that object. But they have not, in any other instance that we remember, spoken as in tiie New Hampshire Democratic Convention, presided over by ex President Pierce, and doubtless animated by his sentiment. The New Hamhire Democrats, addressing the citizens of tha Confederacy, pledge us that if we will come back into the Union, they will do all in their power to gain lor us such guarantees as will secure our silety. This proposition we believe to be as frankly made as it is courteously expressed. We believe it to be an honest propo sition; lor Franklin Pierce and Millard Fdlraore, an 1 a few o'-her. have pursued a course that commands confidence in their sincerity. We credit the simple word of one of them sooner than we would as many oaths as could be sworn in a week by the men who promised thai peice should he preserved at Fort So cater, and the existing status maintained, at the very time they were sending thither the m itcrial of war. We respond, therefore, to the New Hampshire Democrats with courtesy and respect. Bat we tell them what tbey must know, whni we say to them that they are powerless to secure for ca those guarantees of whieh they admit the neces sity. Less than three years ago, when the late Union was in the very throes of dissolution, the States winch now form the Confederacy sought, in til's spirit of conservatism and lorberance. to avoid disruption, with nn importunity that now seems to us am axing. We would then have ac cepted terms which our owr belter judgment told us were inadequate, and to which nothing but the extreme reluctance to dissolve the existing order of things could have reconcile! us. When we look back at it now, it makes us tremble to think that we offered to take the Critteuden Com pro miae. But conciliation ou our part wa met only by contumely and defiance by the Republican majority. They were warned of the necessity ud inevitable effect of the course the,v were pursuing, but they treated the warning with contempt and scurrility. In that decisive hour the Democrats of New Hampshire, however willing, could do us no good. We had to take care of ourselves. Falling back on our sovereign rights, and calling upon Ood to vindicate us, we assumed a separate national life. From that time the men who willfully destroyed the Union have been assailing us with all the enginery of destruction. They have evioced toward us a malignity which has seldom been paralleled in human history. If it were in their power tbey would tarn the mountains and poor the seas upon us. Tbey would cover uj with consuming lava. They would sink us ich the earthquake and overwhelm as with the storm. Tbey devote us, as far as they can, to the desolation of fire and eword. Do the New Hampshire Democrats suppose for one moment that we coul-.t so much as think of reunion with such a people? Itatlxr tell one to be wedded to a corps! Rather join hands with a fiend from the pit. We exhausted conciliation before e separated. Thenceforth these was not room for so much as a thought of reunion. We bad buried our dead out of our sight, and the mourners had become comforted. Since that time our false allies have been our vindictive foes. We have ten thousand atrocities to re member against them. The blood of many thousands of martyrs ia between them and u. A thoosaod feelings of horror repel the bare idea, of a renewal of association. Let not the Democrats of New Hampshire, or auch aa think with them, deem us bitter in these remarks. Let them put themselves in our places. They know how villainously we have been treated. Tbey know that to have submitted to Lincoln's tyranny ti to have taken tbe yoke forever. We should have been considered as consenting slaves, and even our unavailing friends would have deserted us. Since that time the only greeting of kind words which has come to as from the North, the New Hampshire men have sent. All, or nearly all beside, has been conflagration, sword, demoniac denunciation, and brutal menace and destruction. Conld a dead love be exnected to revive again in such a fire? Let not the New Hampshire men press es. We ere lad that they hare seen fit to manifest a hums feeling. We respond to them in that. But between the United States an the Confederate States the best that the future can bring is amicable relations. Tbie cruel war may stop if (he North so wills it. And wbfcn those ia the United States wbo are disposed to deal fairly with us shall again rule, we may iu tiro begin to bury the many bitter memories which bow add eoergy to our resent Bsents, and may make wltb then treaties which shall be mutually adraaUgeoue. . Perhaps here

after good will may be revived again. But Union never let it be mentioned! Never, rfr It is impossible Let the Democrats at the North content themselves with securing the next best thine. Let them frankly extend to u9 the hand of peace awd propose that the fends nt;d the bit temess of the present he buried, and that the two repuhlicsbe good neij:libos and good friends It is cither this, or the kill, burn, destroy, con-ume, annihilate of the fanatics. There is no middle course. For ourselves, we shall stand for our liberties and independence so long as they ate denied. And God will graut us a safe deliverance.

STATE Il i:7XS. Senator Wole, of Corjdon, thus gives an account of his losses: Several stories being in circulation about our losses by Morgan's raid, we will state that we lost a Henry rille, a revolver and a watch, besides other property taken from our residence, and as oeirly as we can ascertain fully $300 in cash taken from our pocket book in all about $409 in value. When the money was first taken we were not aware there was that much of it, but by reference to our books and counting up the amounts we had received for three or four weeks before the robbery, we are now certain our loss in cash was :iot less thm the amount stated. REHtASkD The men arrested in Whitley county by Provost Marshal Hiram Iddings, on Friday morning, the 17th tilt, and transported to Kendalvitle, hand-culled, under strong military guard, and from thence to Indianapolis, havebeen discharged for the wantof evidence against them. We can not see any propriety in arresting and discharging men in this manner. The principle is wtonz. No man ousht to be subjected to the inconveniences and sufferings of an arrest without strong and conclusive proof egainst him; nor should any man be discharged without a trial. The arrests made in Whitley county have been productive of no good; they have only, and with perfect justness, brought down upon the instigators thereof the contempt of every honest man If the men had been guilty of any violation of the laws, they deserve! unishmcnt. and ought to have beeu made an example of; and if, on the other hand, they were not guilty, which their discharge proves, their arrest was an outrage Upen them, their families and their neighbors, and they ousht to be reimbursed by the Government lor the loss of time and money expended. We hart no respect whatever for the authorities who commit such outrages, willingly and knowingly, upon the people, for no other reason than politi cal animosity. If this be treason, the cowardly Abolitioi.i.its can pu. it in their pipes and smoke it ad libitum Columbia City News. The Pocket on Belcher We published, a few days ago, Beecueb'b opinion of the people of the "pocket." The abolitionists dowu there have been making a great udo over the distinguished negro lion, and he repays their attentions by freely expressing his opinion of them, which is not at all flittering. We' suppose Mr. B. judges the "pocket" from his knowledge of his abolition friends there, and so far as they are concerned he judges correetly. Col. Baker, r Col. Jones, or some other Republican from the "pocket," replies to the slanders of the great light of the Republican party, through the Evansville Journal. We are not all surprised that Becher thinks the "pocket" a "degraded population" from his associations the- e. The abolition organ of the "pocket" puts it to Beechcr in the following style, and it must not be forgotten that the "pocket" gives the heaviest Democratic majority in the State: Mr. Beccher has hitherto had a great ninny admirers in this part of tho State, who have shown their admiration by ubseribini liberally for his paper, the Independent. With what amazement and mortification they will read the above paragraphs containing his opinion of their origin, patriotism and intelligence, we have no words to portray. Not thnt Mr. Beecher's opinion of them m.tkfs the least d.ffcence in the world or disturbs their equanimity, but that a distinguished Aneriran divine, who claims to have lived iu the Wert and in Indiana, should display to the world an ignorance both of the people and of current events in the sitithrn portion of the State that woull discredit n London cockney. Ourpeotde have often smiied over the ludicrous blunders made by the English papers both as regards the geography Mini biography of our country; hut what cati we say now when one of our "most distinguished divine" blunders us ridiculouxly in speaking of the southern portion of a State in which he claims to have spent several years of his life! "Mr. Beecher knows Indiana well, having lived there," and he afhrm that the int-tconduct Conce-n'ng the draft "is limited to a part ki own as the Pocket,' inhabited chiefly bv a degraded population derived from the neighboring slave St. ties; and so ignorant that not one in twenty cm read!" . A plain statement of fact?, we think, will fasten the calumny Mr Beecher has gratuitously app'ie I to our people upon himselt. and also Fhow that if the reverend gentleman would take mon pains n norm himself, he would less frequently violate the ninth commandment. We submit, then, the following: The F rst Congressional District of Indiana, commonly designated the "Pocket." is one of the very few districts in the State in which there has been no resistance whatever to the enrollment for the draft which is yet to be made. There has re-n no factious opiosition lo tbe enrollment, with one 6irgle solitary exception, in which a poor ere iture was under the inSuence of whisky. We may he a "degradrd population, derived from the slave States." but Mr. Beecher em to have lost sight of the fact that from the same "degraded population derived from the slave States," the people selected their present worthy Chief Mi?iKtrite the Pnsident of the United Sutes D d Mr. Beecher forget the stock from which Mr. Lincoln sprung when he so ardently supported htm for President? or did he regard the President as the only good that can come out of Nazareth. "Not one in twenty can read," affirms Mr. Beea her, and he pretends to speak of his own knowledge. A viler slander was never perpetrated. What is the fact? Evansville the commercial metropolis of the "pocket," is the only city in the State that sustains a thorough system of graded free schools the year round, and in general intelligence our people" are, the equals of those who ßlander them. How pitiable to see one, wearinjr the livery of heaven, engaged In so des picable a business! Mr. Beecher 's communications to the editor of the News shows that he was free in the expres sion of opiuion atxuta part of our State of which he knows comparatively nothing. A Urge portion of our population are foreigners or of foreign extraction. Kurland, herself, we doubt not, is more largely represented in this ronnty than in any other in the State. They are loyal men and sustain the law. A majority, perhaps, of the residents of Vanderburg couy are of German descent, and so of several other counties in the "Pocket." Another fact may be giveu: There is more violent opposition to the draft and other meas ures of the Administration especially the eman c'patlon policy in one of the churches of which Mr. Beecher was pastor while living in Indiana, than in any one or all of the Protestant Churches of thi city. We do not pretend to say, however, fhat this is a ease in which "his works do follow him." Mr. Beecher eerns to h ire assumed that becaue there were disturbances in this State, crowing out of the draft, they muet of neceesity hive occurred in the "Pocket," and this was only another evidence that our people were ignorant and degraded. The great resistance to the draft, embodying in the movement scenes of bloodshed the most horrible, occurred within sight of Mr. Beecher's spire, and within the sound of the Plymouth Church bell. It was among a people whom he helped to enlighten, and wbo are not bothered by a "degraded population derived from tbe neiph boring slave States.' It was among a people who have become so intelligent tliroucH the in stru mentality of common schools and Mr. Beech er's oratory, that the "Woods were powerless, to influence events." Mr.- Beecher had not heard of these riot when be communicated his slanders of Southern Indian;! to the News- Had he not better communicate again? The radical abolitionists will act wisely bv keeping their righteous apostles of emancipation at home. Conway acted tbe dance In his Corres pondenc with Mason, and Henry Ward Beecher seems disposed to do likewise ia villifying section of bis former native State. If public seutl-

rr.eot iu England is to be put right by such teachers, we are fearful that I ke the demoniac the last state of that people will be wor.-e than the' first. Affairs ix Brown Cocxtr Afewdvs since the news was published in Johnson county that an orjf:Hiized band of Copperheads, under the ns-sumel name of "Morean's men," were per pet rat. rig nil sorts of-wicked outrages, such as murderin?. stealing and burning property, in Brown county. On my return from Nashville to day, whither I had been attending the Court of Common Pleas. I learned that "five hundred men" were banded tosether and were murdering the inhabitants and burning wheat stacks and dwelling houses Of course the Jive hundred were Democrats. Possibly similar s ories may be in circulation elsewhere, tor inasmuch as Brown county givP3 as larce a Democratic majority, in proportion to its voting population, as any other county in the State, besides having furnished her quota of troops last fall by means of which the draft was escaped, and as it is : für med is entitled to a credit of surplus volunteers, which will again exempt from the draft, it is more than likely 'hat the shoddy patriotism of other counties may give cur rency to equally unfounded and slanderous reports. For the benefit of reasonable men of all parties who desire to he ir the truth, nnd to preserve the peace of society, I write this: Tuesday evening when I left Nashville, there wa no ill-feeling, no excitement, nor caue far either, perceivable; nordil I tiiscover the leis' Symptom of either along the route I traveled homewards. There were no rurrors afloat, of marauding men there nppeurcd no fear of any such men. But events have 'transpired in Brown, upon which the?e tnonstroualunwirs have in all prob bility heen built. S me time ago, a murder was committed in the southern part of the county. The parties, who ner. intoxicated somewhat, had disagreed upon political sul.jects while at the supper table ot the dcceiset's father, hut this latter gentleman acted a mediator, and, as he thought, tho matter wa settled. That evening, however, after i;e of the parties got to his house and his bod, hi wife was awakened by the snapping of a pisli! in the window t:tir her head, and, ii-ing, si o saw the person who did it, nnd awakened her husband, who seized his gun, opened the door and attempted to shoot his assailant The gun failing to gooff, he clubbed it, knocked his assailant down, and then knocked him with his fists in true western style. The would be rrnrderer begged for his. life, promised to conduct himself properly, and was permitted to rise: but no sooner wa he tip than he leaped upon bis victim and stahbed him, from which he died in a few hours. The death bed statements of the deceased were fully written out. as I understand.'' Now this ' seems t be a very horritle m'trder, and when we remember that the murdeied man was a Democrat and the murderer a Republican, we must credit the' Democracy of Brown county with a very commendable degree of deference to the requirements of the law Those who counsel mobs simply to put down free speech, :t free prcs, and the consequent freedom of thought, and to resist legal powers, would hirdly permit the law to take its course, where they had the power, in c.se one of their number was brutally murdered, and the murderer known. All lvnor to the loyal and law loving Democracy of Brown county. Again, after eveuts of a deolorable nature have occurred in Brown. Some days ago two or three uninhabited cabins, one wheat stack containing, one said 1U0 dozen, while another declared 101) bushel of wheat, and an old wagon was burned and a nun in the neighborhood shot and wounJ ed. As this occurred in an opposite part of the county from the murder, there can be no connection between them The property burned is partly Democratic and partly Republican, and the unfortuu ire mui wounded is a Dsmocrat and always vote the ticket. So I was informed The perne'.ra'or i f this wickedne-e is supposed

to fje a deserter or deserters, though nothing upon that score is certainly known. The cause ot the property being burned is only conjectural, and is that, the criminals hope to get up a state of confusion, timing whif-h they may be overlooked and esope. It is rumored that the wounded man, who is sai l to tie rt-m-Mkxbly inoffensive, gave notice :is f the whereabout of some deserters whit h led to lhe capture, an l this rumor strengthens the belle.' o' II concerned that the nii--!iiei' i ifone by one or ni ie of the deserters.

D. D. Baxta. Franklin, July 29, 1SS3. Jail DeLtvtnT. Two prisoners, William Smith nnd Josei h Sterling, broke the Putnam county jail on Monday last, and the latter was captured after two d ys liberty. They burned a hole iu the fl or of their ceil, through which they let themselves down into the room below and escaped out of the window. The noise roused the j tilor, who got up, and, upon going to the scene of their operations, he found the birds had flown. One or Morgan's Mkji. The Greenc-istle Press, iu referring to tbe case ol young Stone, remarks: We are told th .t Stone resided in Greer.castle during lb6 ), "til and '62, which will be new to us all .Vb that he was a very zealous advocate of Dili Voorhees' first nomination for Congress, and made rieeches for Voorhees on the stomp The balance of the article is on a par with the above Jed iration. and is about as destitute of truth. Young Stone resided in Greencastle n few we-k or months only, during which time he studied law in the office of Judge Eck els. A to his making speeches for Dn Voor bees, or advocating his firt nomination for Conpres, we were in total ignorance until so inform e 1 bv the Journ il m in. On the contriry, we remem'rt'r voting Stone s a supporter of the Bre 'kittrdge -t I Line tii ket, and that he made Speeche in its hehiU thniugh-m the country. This w.t during the Conges-ion ! campaign of that year; and wtieo it in rrnii-m'ered that Mr. Voothees was a uppor'er of Jud.'e Douglas, the falsity of the Jo'irn tl's accus ition is evident.

Our country exchanges, in good many cases, apologised lat week for their failure to appear the week before. They said that the editors and printers had gone off after Morgan, and nobody was left to make paper, or print it. Tbe apology Is entirely satisfactory. No copperhead paper makes it though. We noticed that iu par ticul ir Indianapolis Journal. What the Journal means by "copperhead pa pers" is Democratic papers. The Corydon Democrat, Cannelton Reporter, Rockport Democrat, Paoli Eagle, Salem Democrat, Brownstown Union, 0en County Journal, Versailles Democrat, and Lawrenceburg Register, all what the Journal terms "copperhead papers," made the apology the Journal mentions. The Journal's venom, rattlesnake like, haa got into its eyes. It cannot either eee or tell the truth when speaking about Democrats. New Albany Ledger. ' . The Terre Ilaute Expresa says: The crop of blackberries along the Indianapolis railroad is enormous, and are gathered and sold at ten cents per gallon, or thirty cents a bucket.

In the New York Tribune of the 22d of July, in peaking of the first negro regiment in Ktr.si.s. called the "First Kmsas Colored Regiment." it is said that "to d iy it is the best disciplined sind most perfectly drilled regiment in the American army." That is putting it on pretty steep, and exalting Sambo pretty high We had been led to suppose that our veteran white regiments in the service of the country had become somewhat proficient in drill and duty; but here a regiment of negroes who hare never seen service, are, bv this hii:h priest of Abolitionism placed in front the crack regiment of the American army! So we go. The 15-inch Dahlgren guns have made an other complete failure in the late attack on Fort Wagner in Charleston harbor.

Slow the Soldiers are Induced to tndre tbe ,s;ro lolicjr of the Administration. ". Adjutant General Thomas has published an account of his expedition down the Mississippi, or;niz:ng negro regiments, giving plantations to negro laborers, and in similar occupations. We ni ke an ex'ract from this document, which a cote jip irary rightly characterizes as a "thameless confession." "I was compelled to speak to the troops along the route speaking one day some seven or eight times. During my tour I met with an Irish regiment, the !)Uth Illinois, from Chicago men who read the Chicago Times. After talking to them a while, I proposed three cheers for the President of the United States. These were given heartily. Three cheers were then proposed for the settled policy of the United Sutes with regard to the negroes. This was met with crie.3 of 'No!' 'No! Tbe Colonel wss absent, and the Lieutenant Colonel was in command. I inquired what such conduct meint? The Lieutenant Colonel en deavored to excuse the men by saying that they had no opportunity to think over the matter I replied, You are not telline the truth, sir! I know they have been discu-ains this question for a week past. I nou the fact if y udo not' The officer was considerably mortified. I ordered those who were opposed to the policy of the Government to step for ward, and said I knew that the regiment had seen considerable service and fought well, hut I a' so knew that there was but little di-uipline observed among them; that I wanted a distinct recognition of this doctrine that was the point with me. Several stepped forward. Thev were instantly seized and sent to the guard Lou-e. ' I then left the regiment, telling them I would give them a week to consider what thev would

do. At the next station I met the Colonel of tho regiment, who begged that I wojld leave the matter in his hands, and he would see that the men were taught the duty of soldiers When I reached Memphis I was taken Kick. When I afterwards got up to I.u;sville I was shown a long article from the Chicago Times, written by a Captain of the DOtli Iiiinois, who was not on the ground at the time of their insubordinate misconduct, but who saw fit to write a very in subordinate article in reference to what he heard I had said, and iu which he terribly distorted the facts. He was, of course, dishonorably dismissed from the service " This is wortny of a Irtle consideration. 1 Although it is not probable that in this regiment there were twenty men who had voted for Mr. Lincoln, they all heartily cheered for the President of the United States," the Chief Magistrate of the nation. 2. When called upon to cheer for the negro policy ot tie Administration, they said "No, no." Thomas demanded of the Lieutenant Colonel to know the reason of this, when, that officer attempting to explain the matter, he was told by the Adjutant General that he was a liar. This, it seems, con-iderabty "mortified" the Lieutenant Colon, at whxh we are not greatly astonished. 3 Th imss t r Jered the men who were opposed to the "negro poliey of the Government to step forward, at the same time remarking that the regiment "had seen considerable service and fought well," but as it was (so it feemed) more important that the men should cheer for the nig ger p ilicy thau "fight we'd," those who stepped forwaid iu obedience to Gen. Thomas' call, were rtf;ist:Mit!y seized nnd Kent lo the pcard hous." 4. A captain of the regiment wrote an account of what occurred to a Chicago paner, for which "he wnsofcourise dishonorably dismissed the service." If he represented the facts any worse than Gen. Thomas himself represents them, possibly he deserved his fate. And yet, while we find an official emissary of the Cabinet making such statements as these, we are constantly told of the unanimity of the boIdiers in favor of "the negro policy of the Government." The communication of Gen. Thomas giveä a clue to this hoisted unanimity, "Instant seizure" and the "guard house" for the private, "dishonorable dismissal troro the service" for the oflicer the-e are the penalties for refusing i throw up the ht for the "settled ne pro policy of the Government." N. A. Ledger. TOeetins of the !attontal Committees of the liougla and Hrecklnrldge brinocracrA Mar Policy Forekhadoxved The following sensational item appears in the Washington dispatches to the New York Herald: The National Committees of the Douglas and Bretkinrid-re Democracy are to have a meeting, eLher at Mdviukee or Detroit, between the 17th and 2-ld of next mouth, to arrange a programme ft r the approaching Presidential campaign. It is already agued to bvry the hatchet, and to place ti e Demot raic party th united upon a war platform. Copperheadism is to be denounced, and resolutions in favor of the integrity of the Union to be adopted. The responsibility of the recent riots in resistance to the draft is to be place! where it rightfully belongs. The present Administration is to be ignored, and no comment whatever is to be made upon its action. The negro question is .-!so to be treated with utter silence The leading Democrats who will take part in this movement are convinced that no s ugj;etion they in iy offer will have any weight or influence wish the present Administration, and they are agreed therefoie, to confine themselves to the marking out of a programme of their own by which the two wing of the old Democratic party wilt be completely united and a strong bid made for the support of the conservatives of other psrties throughout the loyalBtates. This move ment is of great political importance. The meeting is not intended to be public, but a plan of operations is to be agreed upon which shall settle all differences and bring together upon a war platform all the Democrats of the loy d States. A Conspiracy. The radical pipers in this city, in corjancrion with politicians, are evidently engaged in a conspiracy to destroy the reputation of the city, for the sake of aiding the rebel enemy. Newspaper columns filled with fabrications, both editorial and Irom correspondents, fabrications that are even destitute of the semblance of truth to New York citizens knowing the facts, long stories of scenes of the riot that never occurred, 6houts by the mob that were never heard, but only imagined in radical editorial rooms these and aim ilar means are used to convince the world that the Southern rebellion has strong assistance in the North, and that the hopes of suppressing it are very remote. Mayor Opdyke lends himself to the work of abusing and slandering the city of which he is, unfortunately for it. the chief magistrate, and thus the radical scheme of preventing a restoration of the power of the Union goes on. Who can doubt that the newspapers which pub lish these miserable inventions about the riot and the people of this city, such as we have heretofore taken occasion to expose in the .Tri -bune, and in other papers, just now when our arms are successful, and the prospect brightens, are actually desirous to convince the world at large that theSoothern Confederacy is strong here, and that the hopes of its suppression are illusory? No other explanation reaches the caie. But there is no truth in their slanders. The Mayor disgraces himself by attempting to disgrace his city. The only allies of this rebellion in New York are bis radical friends, wbo would vote for Jefferson Davis and disunion sooner than for a conservative man sod the Union. ' If the enemies of the Union in America or abroad continue to base their hopes on the aid and comfort given them by these false witnesses of te Northern people, as they evidently do in Richmond at present, they may dismiss the idea. The radical allies of the Southern secession here are .neither many nor trustworthy.. Their vera city is long since so thoroughly impeached that men laugh at them. There is no truth in their message of encouragement to the enemy. The Union spirit of the North is unchanged, and their small conspiracies one after another prove miserable failures. N. Y.

Lei's Motemixt mom Winchester to CuLrrrrta How be Elcdjd fix Meai.k KnivrOETiC AND JtDICiOVS M jTfcME.NTS T GlMHAL Mjladl What Next? A Plmnsvlar CamFAIGX OR AH OvtRLAXD Ma&CU? Special Correspondence of the Ch'cago Tlines) Wasuingto, Julv 23. The events of the last few days have strikingly illustrated the wonhlessne-s sud unreliability of the "reports from the opposit.g armies" which have been furnished by "the Government" and the agents of the. Administration, and which were telegraphed under odicial sanction, all over the country. These reports, put forth under the sanction of the vv ar Department, assured the country that Lee's army, when it recrossed the Putomac to retreat into Virginia, was utterly demoralized snd routed; that "Lee 'a army was flying before our cavalry in inextricable confu mod its baggage trains, artillery, cavalry, and infantry all mixed up together; that Lee was striving with all his might to get to Richmond, bot that our troops hel 1 all the passes in the Blue Ridge Mountains, so that it would be utterly impossible for his army to get through; and' that instead of reaching Richmond, Lee's army would be defeated and captured. I exposed these, falsehoods in my former letters, and events have now proved them to be such. Up to the 21st inst. a movement toward Rich, mond formeil no part of Gen. Lee's plan. lie remained at Winchester, watching the movements of Gen. Meade The latter officer, whose good judgment in this campaign entitles bim to the highest praise, remained on the eastern side of the Blue Ride, between Berlin and Ashby's Gap, from the ISth to the 23d inst. The purposes of Gen. Lee were still undeveloped. Not only was the rebel Gener.il still at Winchester, but there was reason to believe that he contemplated a return across the Potomac, perhaps aitother campaign to Pennsylvania. The reports of his having beeu reinforced from Bragg's army assumed at least the semblance of probbi!itv. His pickets, up to the 22 J, lined the south bank of the Potomac, from Bath to Harper's Perry; and Gen. Kelly's troops, between Hancock to Cumberland, were having daily skirmuhes with detachment from Lee's arm v Under these circumxtauces it would have been culpable in Gen. Meade to have advanced any further eouth than Ashby's Gyp. since to have left cither that pass, or Snicker's Gap, with a weak guard, would have been opening a door to Washington through which, by the w (y of Aldie, (Jen. Lee's army would have been sure to march Besides, the distance from Berlin to AshbyV .Gap is over thirty five miles, nd that i a line quite as long as h's army can hold. By the 21st, however, Gen. Lee became con vinced that Gen. Meade ws too f.igacious either to follow bim on a wild gouj chase down the Shenandoah Valley, nr tu more rapidly down the east side of the Blue Ridge in an attempt to cut off his retreat l Richmond, thereby allowing him an opportunity to slip through Asl.by's Q ui and get in Meade's rear. He saw that Gen Meade was too good a soldier to ui ike a false move, and that Meade had compelled him to make the fir.-.t move. He made it; and history will record th it it was a move worthy of a great General, fr bis position was a difficult one. On the evening of the 21st, he issued his orders for the movement toward Culpepper, and the columns were set in motion on the morning of the Sid. The corps or Loncetreet and A. P. Hill moved by way of Front Royal. Chester Gap, and Little Washington; that of Gen. Ewell by way of Strasburg. Thornton's Gsn. and Snerry ville. On the 23d. the corps of Hill and Longstreet forded the Shenandoah st a point just below the junction of the west branch of that stream, pased through Front Royal and crossed the Blue Ridge at Chester Gap. On tie same day, EwelPs corps was pissing through Thornton's Gap. By this time, however, the movement had become known to Gen. Meade. A cavalry recotmoisance, rent out from Harper's Ferry cn the '22 1, proceeded nearly to Winches ttr before they encountered any eigns of the enemy. There, however, they fell in with Gen. Lee's rear guard, who were still holding the town. The line of the BiMm e and Ohio Railroad from H irpcr's Ferry to Hancock, was also found to he clear of rebel troops, although a reconnoi nce sent out only the day before, had found Mirtinsburg occupied by a strong body of Confederals. The facts developed by these recounoisnr.ee Indicated that Lee was making a movement southward, that the movement had been just commenced, hut that it was being made with celerity. Gen. Meide now moved wiJi equal celerity.' The Blue RM-re is Ion, however, and his numerous pas-tes He did not dare to leave all of them unguarded. He was obliged to leave one corps at Ahbv's Gap. bu with the remainder of hi raiy. bf ha.-ter.e 1 to Manassas Gap, hoping to intercept Lee's army there. Even in doin so he was oblige I to letve S.dcker's Gap entirely open and unguarded, and he could not know certainly that this appirent southward movement of Lee's was not a leim, and that, while engaging Meade's attention at Manassas Gap with a part of his force, he was not really holding the principal part of bis army in reserve between Winchester and Front Royal, ready to pour through Snicker's Gap the moment he would find it unguarded, and i'ebouch on Aldie. Gen. Meade could not tell but what that was Lee's intention, a no, therefore his m in h towards Manas sas Gap was a bold and vigorous movement. The beads of his column arrire l theie on the 23d, and found the Gap held by the Confederates, who were apparently trying to march through. An engagement ensued, which resulted in the retreat of the Confederates to Front Royal That night the main body of Gen Meade's army came up, the Gap was occupied by our troops in strong force, and one corns was sent on to bold Chester Gap. But, unhappily. ' these dispositions were make a few hours too late, although that was unavoidable, for the troops had marched rapidly, and they had a long distance to come. The apparent attempt on tbe part of General Lee to force a passage thronuh i Manassas Gjp, was. indeed, a feint. On tbe 23, nearly the whole of Hill's and Longtreet's corps had passed throtish Chester Gap, and oa the 24th they made the mar'h from that point to within ten miles of Culpepper. It was their rear guard alone a strotiT one It is true -that had fought the battle of Manassas Gap in order to delay Meade's army there, and the ruse waa eucces-ful. General Meade's whole army was at Chester Gap on the 24th, but thett it was too late, for everything had passed. The campaign is over. General Lee is safe at Cnlpepper. with his whole army, and once more the Rtppahannock rolls between tbe opposing hoeta. What is to be done now? and what will be done? It is not to be snnposed that Gen. Meade will set down quietly at Falmouth and waste the summer in inactivity, and it will nut do for him to remain there or at any other pint between Washington and the Rappahannock. The whole country is a desert, and every pound of food for his men and horses has to be brought to him from Washington. He will have fo do one of two things: lie will either have to attempt to march on Richmond overland, calculating of course to meet and fight Lee's army on the way; or else the Administration w'll have, to orgauize a new Peninsular campaign against tho rebl capital. Nothing would please Gen. Lee so well as to have the former course adopted. I was tbe first to assert and demonstrate the impracticability of an overland Cvmpnign against Richmond, and four unuccessful campaigns have proved it. I do not believe that Oen Meade will willingly undertake a fifth. By a properly organized Peninsular c impaign Lee's army my be defeated and Richmond be taken. But the Administration have determined that they will not make another Peninsular campaign under any circumstances, and sotlte matter stands. X, Gm. Wilcox Much credit Is due to Gen. Wilcox for his t fforts to restore harmony and maintain peace in the State. His late general orders, are to the effect that soldiers should conduct themselves everywhere as soldiers, and consequently as gentlemen. If these orders are en forced it will tend, in a great measure, to remove the dissatisfaction created by the lawless proceedings of some soldiers, in various parts of the State, against men who are gnilty of the great crime of bing Democrats. Gen. Hascall would have fulminated an order gainst Democrats or suppressed some Democratic newspaper. We are glad that bis successor is pursuing a different and wiser course; and wa hon that his efforts to maintain order and promote good feeling may be successful. J fPrankHn Herald. '

From the New York World. Conspiracy .cint Male Klghte. . Tbe Republican plot to extiüvuish ti e State sovrreipiitif s iid con-olid ie nil the : licit 1 i;d military power of ll e coi.nti v in the Keiier.il Government, is the iiKit-t truly nl niir.jr id the many ominous situs nf the times. 'I his i4 t, we have le.ison to believe, did not t-ke dt finite jdinrc until after the inee'iiit: f Cor.-srs J.at winter, although It as dimlv ftr-liadowed by vague outgivings, in the Republican journals, from the lime the October State elections aen. aain-t the Administration. The Times newepaper, which seems to ha re been w ell posted in tl.e counsels of the inner circle f Republican magnates, wss, at that early stage.indiscteet enough to suggest that if the oppo-ition Governors should prove uueom plying or refractory they should be taken care of by the Provost Marshals Similar intimations, more or less vague, or ci re or less explicit, were throw n out by various other Administration journals; but while the aniniiis they disclosed could not le mistaken, what ha since transpired proves that the method of subverting state sovereignty had not then been determined on. Tbe AdminUtration and its party had been taken too much by snrprise in their defeat in all the most Important Sutes to hit at once npon an efficient method for neutralizing the effect of the unexpected blow. Had the State goveriinaenta remained in the hands o i their friends, party discipline would have sufficed to make them s uhser vient to the central power. .The Republicans were unprepared for a contingency which disappointed their calculations; and it was not until after the assembling of Congress that the Republican leaders had sufficiently consulted with each other to determine upon tbe plan which was finally adopted. Th)eir leading measure for the annihilation of State sovereignty w at last selected with singular perspicacity. When the notorious Ben. Butler laid an attachment on the water-wheel of a factory he did not exhibit a more dextrous stroke of cunning. The plan was to Jeeislate the Sute militia out of existence, by a Federal conscript act which should dispense with the agency of the State Governments in raising troops, and so prepare the way for stripping the States of their reserved rights by depriving them of all effective means of res-stance. The coracription act, in its present form, was not a military, but a political measure. It would never have been adopted if the Republicans had carried the State elections last fall. It was not passed as a means of putting down the rebellion, hut a a means of extinguishing State rights. The metliod of raiding troops through the cea.cy of the Slate Government had proved efficient and adequate, in the great and sudden strain th.nt had been put npon it both at the beginning of the war and after the disasters lastyear in Virginia, when, In a brief space of time, it gave the Government six hundred thousand men. The War Department had, iu public documents, repeatedly boasted of the efficiency of the former method, nnd challenged the publio admiration for the creditable results. Beides, a drAft by S'ate authority, if volunteering should prove insaflieietit. would divide the odiura with the Sute Governments, and in a great measure divert it fiotn the Federal Administration. But the tried merits and manifest advantages of the former erstem availed nothing againM the determination of the Republicans to blot ont the eovereignty of the States, and the coDScriptioa law was concocted and passed. In pursuance of the plot to extinguish S'ate rights, the Tribune has, ever since the passage of the conscription act, sought every occasion to denounce and argue against State sovereignty, as the Pandora's box of American politics. Other Republican Journals have chanted in the same strain. But of fate they are troubled with apprehensions lest the main feature of the plot should miscarry. The invasion of Pennsylvania, and the rioti in ome of our large cities, have created a demand for a rein vigorat ion of the State mi!itia, which threatens to upset the whole conspiracy. The Tribune, a few days ago, protested against the military power of the State being permitted "to lapse into the hands of the Governor." But in what other hinds than his can it be lodged without subverting the State Constitution, which makes the Governor Commander inChief of the militia? The Tribune divulge still more clearly this conspiracy to destroy, the sovereignty of the States. After fl;rir"jr. out wild charges to the rieht and left again the Democrats, it deduces from them this DOs-t remarkable conclusion: "Now when we consider these facta, and draw from them the only deductions that tbey possibly admit of. an assertion that it is tbe intention ol the Sute Government to get into its own hands the military power of the State is one which cannot le prudently disregarded." Thus is the idea held out that it would be something very alarming, if the military power of the Su-te should remain where the Constitution places it, ami w here the Federal Constitution recognizes it as rightfully belonging. The federal constitution expects the States to preserve internal order by their own militia, and does not allow the interference of the general Government to aid in pu'ting down d'lMuibsneea except on the application of the Sute Lcishuure or Governor. It even authorizes the State to keep, in time of war, regular troops and ships of war in ddition to their militia. It mut be evj dent to the dullest apprehension that there is a deliberate plot on foot to destroy the control of the States over their militia, as the great preliminary step toward the utter extinction of State sovereignty, and of the Sute right reterved by tbe Constitution.

Avoiding tbe Draft It has been reported that Rochester and New York, and other large cities, by their constituted authorities had appropriated lAree sums of money with which to pay the commutit:ou of $3'0 for poor laboring men ho may be drafted. Tbe Republican papers and epeakT thereat became extremely patriotic, and denounced the councils of those cities as being disloyal and endeavoring to prevent the Union armies from beiu? filled with a view to tlieeucces of the South. The indignation of these gentry knew no bounds, and language was insufficient to express their contempt and utter detestation of such proceedings. But let us look a little fur.ther into tbe action of another class of dialoyal people: In the Cincinnati Commercial of yesterday, we find the following paragraph iu a special diepitch from Washington Ci:y: "The draft is ordered to day in the District of Columbia the quo.a is 5.000, "and t ikes one uia in every three. The unexpected Urge qnota creates quite a aurprii-e . Most of lk citri in tis Department hit formed mutual inturuuc companies to pay exemption." We shall bear of no charges of disloyalty, or attempt to evade the object of the Preident upon the part of those well paid cleiks in tbe en: ploy of the Government. It ia disloyal to make any provision for the purpose of keeping poor men with large families depending upou their daily la. bor for support, out of the army, but perfectly loval for more than two thousand clerks who have fattened upon public plunder and extravagant salaiici, to form ranta.il Insurauce companies for tbe fcrpose of keepiog every one of them out of tbe draft. . , This is a fair specimen of the tnsnner in which a portion of tbe people ef the North are denounced as southern spmpathizers, opposition to. the Government, &c.,.atd another portion lathered all over with praises of devotion to their country, (their country's money would be more proper.) and fidelity to the Administration. We have ever been opposed to this 300 exemption clause, beüev'mg that every able bodied man, when drafted, should either fall Into the ranks or furnish a substitute. This would insure greater equality between all classes Lawrenceburg Register. .' A Exikt's CocartsT.
