Benjamin Frankliu Butler is no*, ac- cording to secession authority, a sonof he "nunny South," the offspring of a N T uw Orleans barber ; nor is lie, as The i\ r . Y. Atlas asserts, a native of the Pine Tree State ; nor is he, as one of our pic- '.orial papers alleges—which produces a emarkable unlikeuess of him—a native f Massachusetts; he was born in Deer- eld, New Hampshire, long enough ago dred dollars and were polishing their ed ucation preparatory to returning home clerks from dry-goods stores, studyin arithmetic and book-keeping; factor girl's fitting themselves to be school-teach ers; ambitious young men, going to h doctors and lawyers; and pious y^ men, going to be preachers. Of al sorts and conditions of males and female; —of all ages, from five to thirty-five an over—was this unique school composed As a matter of course, this mixture o incongruous elements, under the charge of a single teacher, could be subjected to no sort of pedagogical discipline; and so variable was tne attendance—some o' the scholars not remaining more than three or four days, and a large number not more than a month—that the tuition fee was fixed at forty cents aweek. Among these heterogeneous seventy or eighty scholars which Butler essayed to teach, was a fellow named John Peace perhaps twenty years of age, an expelled member of the high school in Lowell, and long a pupil of the academy, from which he had been innumerable times banished, for "raising the devil," but al- ways being permitted to return. One pleasant autumn day, John having done something exceedingly improper, Butler shouted from his desk, where he sat mending a pen : Peace, take your books, and leave ;he school I" Peace did not take his books, but ho eft his seat, walked to the door, opened t, turned about, and crkd : "D n you, Ben Butler ! If you want a threshing, come out of doors, you crooked-shanked, cross-eyed devil!" That was more than Butler could stand, and dropping the peu, but retain- ing his knife; ho sprang from his chair, jumped from the platform, aud dashed down the aisle toward the door. Peace had not expected this movement, having issued his challenge merely as a bit of boasting, and snatching his cap from a peg iu the hall, he ran out of the academy, leaped down the steps aud com- menced a hasty retreat iu the direction of the citY. Tu n momont Bufclor l»<v<l cleared the gate and was HOtTj puiouiuy him, bareheaded, with his long locks streaming iu the wind Peace had about five rods the start, and seeing the iufu riated principal, knife in hand, so close behind, put himself to the top of his speed From both doors of the acade- my the scholars, male and female, pour- ed forth to see the race. Out of the grassy lane, into the road; and down the long hill, toward Lowell, furiously dash- ed master and pupil. At the foot of the hill wo could see that -Butler was gaining on his antagonist, and the contest would perhaps have been decided in his .0 be at present forty-throe D yc7rs"ot r a?e" I favor before reaching the city, had it He was the eldest son of his parents, aud ! ^ ot hea . n io \ a covered bridge, ^withdoub- is only brother, Andrew Jackson Butler, olds a subordinate position under him n the army.

Butler retained his position as princi- pal of the Draeut Academy until he was admitted to the bar. Becoming a part- ner of Smith, with whom he had studied, ho was not many months in g.iiuing a notoriety by no means enviable. The most desperate characters, thieves, black- legs, swindlers, &e., secured his "legal ser- vices, and never before were scoundrels defended with such ardent zeal, consum- mate ability, aud general success, Judges, juries, members of the bar, witnesses aud spectators, were alike amazed at the in- A.

Soon after Lowell became a thriving own, Mrs. Butler having been left in traitened circumstances, removed Inther from New Hampshire, and opened boarding-house, where several of my riends having their quarters, I often ook my meals and became well acquaiut- d with her. She was a pretty woman, f more than ordinary personal attractions, ,nd a devout Baptist, rarely, if ever, be- ng absent on Sunday from her pew in ,he " First Church " Benwas sent to he High School, and at length to Water- ille College, Maine, the principal insti- ution of the Baptist denomination, either utirely, or in part, as a charity student. Here he distinguished himself for every hing rather thau a close application o his studies, being in fact, the wildest iustomer and the most incorrigible scape- g>,.xoo tto IIIH'MI'J;' «f»i^"»»i«f this seat of learning had ever before been put at their wits end to deal with. However, he con- trived at length to graduate, and returned to his home at Lowell. It was now that my acquaintance with him for the first time became intimate, commencing at my father's house, where he called with a friend of our family one Autumn afternoon. I thought him the queerest looking specimen of humanity I had ever seen. lie was about five feet eight inches in height; with short, crooked legs; a full pale face, bearing the most decided marks of intellect aud indomita- ble energy of character; the top of his head bald, and his back hair falling in a long, light-brown, cascade far below his coat collar; added to which, he was most curiously and wonderfully squiut-cyed, the lids of his eyes while talking with mo being nearly closed, resembling those of an owl in the day time,- Subsequently, these remarkable organs of vision as- sumed another appearance. Shortly uftor the French operation for the strabismus was introduced iuto this country, a dis- tinguished surgeon of Lowell, persuaded Butler to submit to it, but one optic hav- ing been set right he positively refused to have the other touched, declaring that the agony he suffered was too great to be endured again, so that at present the ex- pression of his eyes is decidedly striking, not to say comical. A few weeks after this, I was sitting at a bench iu a school-room, and before me occupying the teacher's desk on the plat- form, was the unique figure of Ben But ler. A half a mile from the City of Lowell, across the Merrimack, ou the summit of a lofty hill, stood a white two-storied structure, known as " Draeut Academy " —an institution with a remarkable histo- ry, which I may some day write. The principal of this academy resiguing about the time Butler returned from College, poor aud in debt, he applied for ancj was chosen to fill the vacant chair, entering his name at the same time as a law Stu- dent with W. II. Smith, father of the now famous Boston attorney, II. F. Du- rant, who sumo yeafs ago assumed the family name of his mother. The char- acter of this scat of learning was pecu- liar, andis worthy a brief uotice. Being located so near Lowell, aud a municipal law prohibiting those expelled from one school from attending another, a goodly number of the pupils were wild, fast fel- lows, whom the city authorities had re- fused to educate at the public expense.— geuious and original devices which he employed to release his clients from the clutches of the law. A single instance will suffice as an illustration of this. A young man had been arrested in Lowell for passing counterfeit money, and lodged in jail. As a matter of course, he employed Butler to defend him, aud I was accidentally present when the case came on for trial, at the. Criminal Term of the Court of Common Pleas. The indictment having been read, no one was in tne ieast surprised when Uutler arose and demanded of the judge the imme- diate discharge of his client 'What reason hnvo you, Mr. Butler," asked the judge, "for making such an extraordinary request of the court?" •A good and sufficient reason, your Ben. The person indictment with tho 8 3Jrtui jat always k',-pt ou hand, ond made to cr- honor, replied charged in the crime of counterfeiting, is not my cli- ent, the prisoner at the bar. The per- son there mentioned is one John Tomp- kinn, a very different individual from my client, whose natr.e is John L. TompkinR, against whom there being no cbnrge, I demand that he be set at liberty." A few minutes sufficed to convince trie court that there was unquestiona- bly a flaw in the indictment, and the Sheriff was ordered to discbarge the prisoner, No sooner had the words fallen from the lipn of tho jndgo, thnn Butlor sprang from his seit to the prisoner's box. wrenched open the door, seized liia client by the collar, dragged him out, aud whispered in his ear, loud enough to be hoard by all tha members (if the bar present: "Now do you get out of this court room d d quick, and get out of the city as fast as your legs can carry you, or they will nab you again." "The man made for the door, fol- lowed by n law student ot Butler's, and immediately disappeared In a few moments the law student returned in breathless haste, and whispered something in Butler's ear, who instant- lv sprang to his feet, seized his broad- brimmed straw hat. and dashed out of the court room. Mv curiosity was excited and T immediately followed.— Reaching the outer door, I saw Ben at the distance of half a block, rushing down the street at the top of bis speed. In a second the wind blew off his hat, but not stopping to recover it, ho kept ahead, his longhair streaming in tho breozo, and a crowd ot boys and loaf- ers at his heels. Hastening after him, T soon came to a group of persons in the center of whom was tho sheriff in charare nf the just released counterfeit- er. Butler at once confronted the officer of justice, and demanded to know what in hell he was doing with that man, and insisted that the warrant for bis ra-arrest should be instantly pro- duced. Tho document was not forth- coming, for the reason that it was bo- worthy client by the arm, assisted him in getting clear of the crowd, and t en admonished him to runfor his lit'©, which excellent legal advice the man at once commenced to follow, andfledup the street at a 2.40 gait. It may amuse the reader to know that I lie culprit was arrested a few hours afterwards in an adjoining town, and returned to jail—that upon being again brought to trial, Butl§r found a new flaw in the indictment, and procured bis discharge—that ho was a third time arrested, and brought to trial, when the principal witness against him was found to have suddenly and mys- teriously disappeared, which circum stance procured his release, and lef; the victory with the indefatigable Ben. But from this position, as a sharp, shrewd, and too often unscrupulous le- gal defender of base humanity, in a few years a fortunate occasion sudden ly elevated him toa proud rank, and furnished him with a reputation second to that of no criminal lawyer in the State. By the merest accident, I think, he happened to be retained as one of the counsel in a famous murder case. which occupied tho attention of the ourt for many days. Here he dis- played such remarkable ability in the examination of witnesses, in the gene- ral management of the trial, and final- ly in his address to tho jury, that with r>ne consent, the judges, members of :he bar, the press and the public, ac- knowledged his unrivaled talents as an advocate, and predicted for him a bril- iant career From this time he was retained in the most important trials hroughout. the State, and perhaps of- ener than any other member of tlie bar. pitted against the eloquent Choate. Butler married eomj ten years ago he eldest daughter ot Dr. Hildreth, a ady of great beauty and accomplish nents, who had led a brief and s'je- essful career as an actress, by whom e has several children. He now re- ides in the magnificent mansion furtn- rly occupied by Samuel Lawrence, on he heights of Belvidere, in tha out- i Blackwood, a few years since pro ounced the most charming in all America. W. P. E. Andrew Johnson in Cincinnati. Senator Johnson, of Tennessee, re- eived a magnificent ovation at Cincin- ati, on Wednesday last, In reply to brief address by Hon. W. S. Groes- eck, he made a speech oi about an our, full of eloquent love for tho Un on, and defiance to the traitors-of Ten- e?see and the South. Said he : " I look upon the doctrine of seces- 'mists coming in conflict with all or- anism, moral and sooh.l. I repeat, .'ithout regard to the peculiar institu ons of the respective States composing ]is Confederacy, without regard to ny government that may be found in he future, or exist in the present, this dious doctrine of secession should bo rushed out, destroyed, an<} totally an- ihilated. No government can stand, o religious, or moral, or social organi- zation can stand where this doctrine is olerated. [Applause.] It is disinto- ration—universal dissolvement—mak- ng war upon everything that has a endency to promote and ameliorate he condition of the masses of man- ind. [Applause.] .Therefore I re- eat, that this odious and abominable octrine—you must excuse me for us- ng a strong expression—I do not say in a profane sense—but this doctrine conceive to be to be hell born and hell ound. and one which will carry every- hing in its train, unless it is arrested, nd crushed out from our midst." Great Applause.] Speaking of the persecution of the Union men in Tennessee, he said : But while this contest has been go- ng on, a portion of our fellow-citizens ave been standing up for the constitu- on aud the Union, and because they avo dared to stand upon the groat mbattleinent ot coustiuilional liberties,- xercising the liberty of speech, a port L>-»U uf i/ui paupitf ua\e ueciuicU thai :o were traitors ; they have said tfca ur fate was to be the fete of traitors nd that hemp was growing.aud that he day of our execution was approach ig—that the time would come when hose who dared stand by the consti- ution and the principles therein era- raced, that tlie expiation of these eeds would be upon the gallows.— Ye have met all these things. Ve have met them in open day. We aye met them face to face—toe to toe —at least in one portion of the State. iVe have told them that the conslitu- on of the United States defines trea :>n, and that definition is, that treason gainst the United States shall consist nly in levying war against the general overnment of the United States, We ave told them that the time would ome when the principles of the con- tituticn and the law defining trea- on would bo maintained. We have tuld I'jcm tli.it tlie limewouUl ooino when the judiciary of the government would bo sustained in a manner that it could define what was treason under the constitution and the law made in conformity with it, and that, when de- fined, they would ascertain who were the traitors, and who it was that would stretch the hemp they had prepared for us. [Applause.] " I know that in reference to myself and others rewards have been ottered, and it has been said that warrants have been issued for our arrest. Let me say to you here to-day that I am no fugi- tive, especially no fugitive from justice. [Laughter.] If I were a fugitive, I wouldjbe a fugitive from tyranny—a fu- gitive from a reign of terror But, thank God, the country in which I live, and that division of the State from which I hail, will record a vote of 25,- 000 against the secession ordinance, The county in which I live gave a ma- jority of 2,007 against this odious, dia- bolical, nefarious, holl-born and hell- bound doctrine." Besido these, there were strange speci-1 j ns prepared in the court house, and mens of liumamty from the country. the officer was forced to release his hold ^llhd ' who had earned a few hun ' lir , oll the prisoner.

The progress of hostilities in Ameri- ca, and the prospects they hold out of injury and inconvenienco to the French trade, have induced t\m Chambers of Commerce ot Marseilles, Bordeaux. Dunkirk and other leading ports of France, to petition the French Senate, to say that, seeing that, privateering is abolished, and the commerce of bellig- erents is safe under the neutral flag, merchant ships not carrying contra- band of war should not be liable to capture. This would, if complied with, amount, so far as France is concerned, to the proposition of Mr. Marcy, that private property in war time should be exempt from seizure by armed vessels the condition on which the United States government, six years pgo con- sented to abolish privateering. The French Senate does not see its way to recoinmmending the adoption of the principle contended for by tlie petition- ers. The Emperor has endeavored to bring about arrangements favorablo to the immunity of commerce-, and the free movement of merchant ships in war time, and even to frame a list of contraband of war, to be agreed to by all the maritime powers, so that there should be, on theout break of war, no doubt what does and what does not constitute contraband. These efforts have not been successful, and it is evi- dent that they relate to questions the settlement of which canonly bo effect- ed by general consent. Yet jurists have attempted, and not without suc- cess, to effect a classification* of those articles of commerce which are gener- ally held to bocontraband of war. These have been defined to be— 1. Those whoso use is solely, applica- ble to purposes of peace. 2. Those which aro of direct use in war. 8. Those which are in doubtful use (promiscui ancipilus unusj, as being applicable to purposes of peace or war. 4. Those which have been declared mn in I mm Gen.

A most ridiculous habit among some young people is the cultivation of melancholy as an interesting aecoru- plislitnout. by a neutral, and one or both of the belligerent powers. 5. Those which have been declared be to contraband by public notifications ot one the belligerents. These ic will be observed, which are nothing more than general classifica- tions or divisions, leave undetermined the large and constantly recurring questions of what articles should bo in* eluded in one or other of tho divisions The fact is, that it has been long since laid down by Lord Stowell, anything in the shape ot merchandise may be re- garded as contraband of war, if it be intended for tho support, aid or com- fort of an enemy. Until of late years, coals were never heard of as included, among articles contraband ot war.— Coals, however, were so regarded by the Russian government in 1854, and by the Austrian government 1859. In fact, ihe law of nations recognize the right of either belligerent to declare any article contraband of war, provided :iue notification be given to that effect. On this subject of contraband of war the European Powers have from time to time come to arrangements amongst themselves. Such an arrangement was included in the treaties of Ryswick, Nimeguen and Utrecht; and at a con- siderably earlier period an understand- ing was arrived at on the subject of contraband of war between France and England. There is nothing to prevent such an understanding being entered iuto between the European Powers, or any of them, and the belligerents on the other side of the Atlantic ; and, in the interest of maritime commerce, we have only to say the sooner it is ar- rived at the better. That the French government should refuse to entertain the request of the Chambers ot Commerce that private property 6houkl be ro.-pected in war time, it not unaccountable, is at least, inconsistent. Tho declaration of Paris rt™ prxrpynirtj If uul Itie work, Qj Count Walewski ami that declaration guarantees theiir.munity of the enemy's commerce under the neutral flag, and of neutral commerce under the enemy's Hag, contraband of war excepted. To say that all merchant ships not carry- ing contraband of war shall be exempt is to go a step further in tho direction of the declaration. This step, howev- r, tho Emperor declined to take To do so >vou!d bo inlii.-i opinion ^ratutioua- ly to weaken the naval force of France, more especially as France possesses few colonies and DOgreat extent of foreign trade. These, it seems to us, are just the reasons why the French government should aid by every means the liberation of commerce from the disabilities attaching to it, whether in peace or in war. The interruption to maritime commerce produced by hostil- ities may be supported by a nation which has large colonial possessions and u commanding trade, but it be- comes n si.rioiw frinaiilnrnrion with a State where these conditions are re- versed. But the foreign trade of France is greatly on the increase. It is time for France to take her place as a great maritime Power, and to de- clare in favor of the adoption of tho nlightened, humane and progressive principles of the immunity of tho prop- erty of non-combatants, whethor by «ea or by land, from tho ravages of war. Perhaps, however, France is waiting for this country to set in this respect the example. If so, there is no excuse on our part for this continued embarrassment of a question in which the interest of commerce and of naviga- tion aro so deeply involved. The poli cv of the French government, as it re- spects the American civil war, is at length declared. Tho Tdbtiteur of this day announces it to be the Imperial re- solve to maintain " a strict neutrality in the conflict between the government of the Union and the States which pretend to form a separate confederation." The sympathies of the French government may perhaps without ••much difficulty be interred from tho wording of this declaration, but it is obvious that the ! understanding between France and j England on tho Ameican question is so I far complete that it insures, in the overt action of both governments, a similarity ; of action as Well as ofexpressiou ; and !

Our citizen soldiers, inexperienced in the battle field, will find the most terri- ble moments just before the battle be- gins. A soldier in his narration of per- sonal adventures iu the Mexican war, war, published in " Howe's Achieve- ments of Americana," gives some inter- esting items of this head in his descrip- tion of the battle of Palo Alto, the opcu- ing battle of the war. When all was ready, both armies stood still about twenty minutes, each waiting for the other to begin the work of death, aud during this time I did not see a sin- gle man uf the enemy move ; they stood like statues. We remained quiet with two excep- tions. Gen. Taylor, followed bv his staff, rode from left to right at a slow pace, with his log thrown over like a woman, and as he passed each regiment he spokj words of eucouragemeut. I know not what he said to the others, but when he came up to where we stood, he looked at us steadily; I suppose to see what effect the circumstance in which we were placed, had upon us, and as he gazed, he said: '-The bayontt, iny liardy cocks ! The bayonet is the thing I" The other occasion was that of Lieut. Blake, of the Engineers, who volunteered to gal- lop along the eucmy's line, in front of both armies, and count their guns, and so close did he go, that he might have been shot a hundred times. One of the officers of tho enemy, doubtless thinking he had some communication to make, rode out to meet him; Blake, however, took no notice of him but rode ou, aud then reported to Taylor. Thus stood the belligerent armies, face o face, What were tho feelings in •hose men's Lrcasts? What were the feelings of those thousands ? How many thoughts were crowded into those few momeuts? Look at our men ! a clammy sweat is settled all over their faces, slight- ly pale, not from cowardly fear, but from an awful sense of peril, combined with a determination not to fliuch from duty.— These are the moments in which true soldiers resign themselves to their fate, auu LULI i iiirrnrrrt TTTT.II ">" rpTinn- tion that whatever may befall them, they may act with honor, these are the mo- ments when the absolute coward suffers than death—when, if not certain that he would be shot down in his tracks, he would turn and tlee. Fighting is very hard work; the man who has passed through a two hour's fight, has lived through a great amount of physical and mental labor. At the end of a battle I always found that I had perspired so pro- fusely as to wet through all my thick woolen clothing, and when I had got cool, I was as sore as if I had been beat en all over with a club. When the bat- tle commences, the feelings undergo a change. Header, did you ever see your house ou fire? if so, it w.as then you rush- id into great danger; it was then you went over places, climbed over walls, lifted heavy loads, which you never :ould have doue in your cooler moments ; you have then experienced some of the excitement of a soldier in battle. I al- ways know my danger—that at any mo- ment I was liable to be killed, yet such was my excitement that I never fully re- alized it. All men are not alike; some are cool; some are perfectly wild or cra- zy ; others are so prostrated with fear that they are completely unnerved—an awful sinking and relaxation of all their energies takes place, awful to behold; they tremble like an aspen, sink into ditches and covert places, cry—dead to every emotion but the overwhelming fear of an iustaut death. We had a few, and only a few, of such in our army. As the two armies were lacing each other, it was remarkable to see the coolness of our men ; there they stood, hewing bits of b'scuit, and talking about the Mexicans—some wondering if they would fight; others allowing that they would, and like demons.etc. I kept my eyes on the artillery of the euemy, and happened so to be looking towards their right wing, when sud- denly a white curl of smoke sprang up ono of their guns, and 'hen I saw the dust fly some distance in front, where the ball struck. Instantly an other, and then anothor, ,.nd then an- other curl of smoke arose, succeeded by a booming sound, and then the shot came crushing towards us. Tho ene- my fired very rapidly, and their balls knocked the dust about us in all di- rections—some went clear over our heads, others struck the ground in front and bounded abay. Our batteries nowwent to work and poured iu upon them a perfect storm of ron; Lieutenant Churchill and his men began with his eighteen pounders, and when the first wasfired,it made such a oud report that our men gave a spon- taneous shout which seemed to inspire us with a renovveel confidence. I could hear every ivord the Ljeutenant said to :iis men. When the fiistgnn was fired, watched tho ball, saying, " Too ligh, men ; try another;"—" too low, men, try another !—the third time is n.hnrm I" HMw* tliin.-l abpt w.*a firtirl bind I »;nv u Hh my own Byei Hie UieaU- ful effect of that and the following hots. "That's it my boys!" shouted Churchill, jumpiug up about two feoi ; you have them now, keep at that " and so they did, and every shot tore jomplete latn-s through the enemy's ines, but they stood it man'ully. The full chorus of battle nowraged;: 23 pieces ot artillery belched forth their ron hail. Wo were ordered to lie down in the grass to avoid [the shot; this puzzled the enemy, and they could not bring their guns to boar upon us, making our loss very small. Many were the narrow escapes, one ball came within six inches of my left side. The force of tho shot was tremendous; a horse's body was no obstacle at all; a man's leg was a more pipo stun, t watched the- shot as it struck the roots of tho grass, and it was astonishing how the dust tievv. ID about an hour the grass oaught fire, and the clouds of smoke shut out the opposing armies. We had not vet lost a inau iu our regiment In the obscurity the enemy had changed the'.,! 1 lino, and the eighteen pounders, supported by our regiment, took a new posiiion on a liitle risy of ground. As we moved on to tlie spot, a six pound shot carried away tho lower jaw o!'C?^pt. Tago, and then took off a man's head on the right, as clean as a knife. The blood of poor Page was 1 saw ; he was knocked s ho 0,'uUoav- tho memory of that night I shall carry ; with me to my dying day. A little la- j tor Major Ringgold "was mortally I wounded at his battery; I saw him just after it. A shot had torn away a portion of the flesh of his thighs; its force was tremendous, cutting oil both his pistols at the locks, and also the withers of his horse, a sp'enrlid steed, which was killed to relieve him of his miseries. Tfoe enemy tried hard, but without avail, to hit our eighteen pounders. The battle continued until night put an end to the scene. We bivouacked where we were, and hud on our arms; we slept however, but little, thinking that we might bo attacked in our sleep. * The enemy had been very severely handled, owing to tho superiority of our artillery. The gunners went ino it more like butchers than men ; each stripped off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and tied up his suspenders around his waist; they all wore red flannel shirts, and therefore were in uniform. To see them limbering and uulimbering, firing a few shots, then duajwng through the smoke,<ina then to fire again with lightning rapidity, partly hid from view by dense clouds of smoke, with their dark red shirts and naked arms, yelling at every shot they made, reminded me of a band of demons rather than men. Search for Contraband of War- The correspondent of the Boston <7b«r- nal relates incidents attending tlie search for contraband at the llelay House. We quote : You hoar the whistle of tho train bound for Harper's Ferry, As it comes rounding the curve, the guard is drawn up on each side of the track. Soon as the traiu stops, a soldier steps on each platform of every car, and sees that no oae gets off or on. The one whose busi- ness it is to ''develop" any contraband articles or persons enters the forward pas sengor car. He looks on and under the first seat aud finds nothing but a very suspicious female. Her hoops are very laiffe. m m .tin: -,-.- .i i though she indulged in a free uso of cot- ton, or else is a walking traiu in the ser- vice of the rebels. Tho searcher iooks, but doesn't know what to do. Ha can- uot, of course, treat her as he woulda mau, for everybody would call him a brute, and besides, he has uo taste for such things. At last he timidly requests that she will rise, iu the hope that some treasonable article may fall aud discover her character. Here is a laan who either looks a little confused, or else puts on a stolid expres- sion, as though he were utterly indiffer- ent. After having carefully investigated this seat, the searcher politely asks the individual to empty his pockets. Mind you, this is really done politely, ami | while asking a thousand pardons for the demand. All letters directed to indi- viduals south of tho Potomac are confia cated. Oftentimes they have been found to contain valuable information. If the man is very suspicious the search is cor- respondingly rigid. The hands aro passod over his coat and inside his vest'and woe be to him is anything if discovered that stamps him as a spy. So the cars are looked through, one byone. > Some of the passengers laugh, some grow mad and swear, some see tho reason of the thing aud yield at once, others bluster and threaten, and have to be shut up by the fear of immediate arrest if they open their moulhs again. The searcher then says: " All who have baggage will please step into the forward car." He then asks each man to op>.n his trunk, aud passes his hand as carefully as may be through the bundles of varieties with which human beings fill their apparatus. One's luggage does not undergo ono half the dauger which it is subjected to in a Liverpool custom house. I have seen both classes of operators, and I would much prefer to go by tho Belay than to laud in Liverpool. Suddenly the searcher comes across a commoii-louking, red, wooden trunk. It is marked Mary Birkitt, Wheeling, Vir- ginia. There is nothing suspicious about hi. Ii loolia in keeping withsoino vil lage auut, who had forsworn the company of the coarser sex, and had just returned from a visit to some relations who had lately thrown themselves away by swear- ing, in the presence of a parson, to keep house, neatly and economically, for some one of those worthless creatures called men. Thesearcher calls out for Mary to come anddisplay her dry goods, but uo Mary is to be found. He calls again, and with the same result. Tho conduc- tor is qucstioued, but he knows nothing about the matter. The thing looked all right, but it wou't do to lut even Mary Birkitt's trunk go on without knowing what is in it. So, after having sounded another call for the spinster to make her appearance, the searcher calls for a ham- mer and chisel, and opens the thing.— Nothing alarming is presented. On the top is a very white, and nicely done up pair of sleeves. Then comes a chemis- ette, and then a dross aud then—two that was a sorry dodge. No wonder you didn't answer when your name was called. Why, my dear Mary, you have here more caps than you can wear in a dozen lifetimes. The trunk is confisca- ted. Col. Jones was once going through a traiu on the scent of suspicious articles He saw between two seats a small basket. The top was partly raised and discovered j some sandwiches, gingerbread, &e. It was of course nothing surprising to see a luncheon basket iu the cars. The con- ductor came up aud said, "Colonel, an old woman owns that basket; I believe she has stepped into the forward car."— Well, that was very reasonable. How- ever, just as he was going to leave it the Colonel put his little finger under tho handle, to see how much a basket of lun- cheon weighs, you know. But the thing didu't come up. Somehow it stuck How the B's Stung the Chivalry, An intelligent officer of the Twenty- Eight raiment, N. Y. 8. M., writing from Arlington Heights,gives an inter- esting account of an interview ho had with five rebel prisoners brought into camp by Lieut. Tompkins and his dragoons of Company B. We give an extract from a letter from which it will be perceived that the charge of the dragoons left a lively inv pressiou upon the minds of secession' ists : "Their account of the fight was amusing. I will give you one, from note3 written secretly twenty minutes after I heard it. It is nearly verba- tim : i 11 Talk about fighting 1 whew—my G d ! One company of themreg- ulars or your New York fellows erin 1 whip a thousand of our men, by G d, that's so; I swear it on a bible. You had ought to have seen them. Look hero, rccon I wanted to got out of the way. Sure's your'o ooi'no they're just like devils—they don't mind shots. Lord they went down the street, where they cuPnnd slashed and shot. Our boys nni like the devil—tlien J—s you ought to have seen them cut up the, street again —liko blue devils, it makes my bloi <l run cold to think of it. They shot eve ry way—knocked us from our horses, took our pistols and sabres away—mv G d, how theyfit.Why, sir I'll swear on a bible them South and North Carolina fellows that's with I'.S aint no account. They wont obey anybody no discipline—you'll lick them every ime.' " There was much more of the same sort, and I send you thiB speeimei profanity arid nil included, so yon m:.y know what the rebel prisoners think, and kovv they talk." Proclamation of Governor Letcher- In a proclamation addressed to tt.e people of North-western Virginia, thi Governor claims that the State has by its own free choice, and by a majority of nearly 100,000, ratified tho ord.nance" of secession, and Union with the Con- federate Slates. Having thus voted, he claims that it is the duty of all to give their willing co-operation to rnako good the declaration of the majority.-— Virginia, ho sayn, has asserted her in- dependence, and will maintain it at ev- ery hazard, lie thru conjures the people from every quarter to rally tu the standard of ihe old Dominion and aid in driving the Federal army from her soil. lie tells the people of tho West that he has sent for their protec- t,ion such troops as the emergency placed them in charge of a competent d Th t h commander. are posted g These troops, he p, y p at Huttonville. '• Come with your own good weapons an i meet them as brothers." Of the une- qual taxation, ho says : "There has been a complaint among you that the eastern portion of the State has en- joyed an exemption from taxation to your detriment. The State, by a ma- jority of 50, 000, has put '.he tno sec- tions on an equality in this reppect.— By a display of magnanimity in the vote juat given, the east ha?, bvj;r» large majority, consented to relinquish this exemption, and is ready to s ; ,are with you all the burdens of the govern- mint, and to meet till Virginia's liabili- ties." INCIDENT UN THE OHIO.—While trav- eling down the Ohio river ir.y attention was cilled to the pilot. The captain informed me thatitb-ree weekslago as the boat was going through theRapids the pilot hailed him to take the hulm. Ho had seen a boy struggling for life in tho Rapids. He sprang into a mere skiff, and ventured himself among the Soiling waters without an oar, aud saved the boy. I went up to the brave man and spoke to him. " Do you ever see the boy whom you s tved ?" '• Yes," he answerer!, " at every trip he comes down to the boat just to sea me." •' And how do you fed when you see him ?" ; " More than I can tell you," here- plied. ''More intense interest than in. any one of my own seven aX home lor whom I have run no risk." A BIG SCARE.—Last week in F.orest- ville, Geuesee county, considerablo ex- citement was caused by the report of a large body of Indians being in theneigh- borhood, all painted, aud on some secret excursion. The report further says, that some fifty of th.e people at that plaen gathered at a house and anxiously vvached through one night, fearing the Indians meant a fight. Next morning a large troop of men armed themselves and inarched into tho woods to ascertain the reajou of the presence of the Indians but their trip was useless, as, after care- ful search, no Indians, excepting two or three squaws ami papooses, could be found. Thescare seemed altogether .od humbug. In the noghborli mil of Wicker's about half way between hi- peer and Flint, two or three families have quitted the State.—Lajpecr Rb lican, June 17. Si£ Theofficer of the deck mi buni a man-of-war asked the mm at the wht-ui ono day : " How does she liead?" It was blowing a galo of wind. " South.iyst," returned Pat, touching his hat, but forgetting to adl sir to ^IILS "ioudlieliei put a lew tuoic so ..• your answer when you speak to mo," said the bully lieutenant. '' Ay, ay, sir-r-r," returned the witty Irishman, A day or two after the officer called out again : " How does she head now?'' " Southayst and by south, half south,' and a little southerly, sir-roe, sir, yer hon- or, sir," screamed Fat. to the floor. He then applied his whole hand, and after removing the gin- gerbread, he discovered about half a peck of bright brass buttons, which were on their way to adorn the uniforms of Vir- ginia rebels.

SHAD CAUGHT IN A Cruxouvn TRAP. - On last Friday, a lady of Rocky Hill, Connecticut while passing a brook which runs into the Connecticut, saw two fino shad sunning theniselves in i;'' stream.

MAJOR GEN, B, F. BUTLSE.

BY A ZOUAVE.

Benjamin Frankliu Butler is no*, ac-cording to secession authority, a son ofhe "nunny South," the offspring of aNTuw Orleans barber ; nor is lie, as Thei\r. Y. Atlas asserts, a native of the PineTree State ; nor is he, as one of our pic-'.orial papers alleges—which produces aemarkable unlikeuess of him—a nativef Massachusetts; he was born in Deer-eld, New Hampshire, long enough ago

dred dollars and were polishing their education preparatory to returning homeclerks from dry-goods stores, studyinarithmetic and book-keeping; factorgirl's fitting themselves to be school-teachers; ambitious young men, going to hdoctors and lawyers; and pious y ^men, going to be preachers. Of alsorts and conditions of males and female;—of all ages, from five to thirty-five anover—was this unique school composedAs a matter of course, this mixture oincongruous elements, under the chargeof a single teacher, could be subjectedto no sort of pedagogical discipline; andso variable was tne attendance—some o'the scholars not remaining more thanthree or four days, and a large numbernot more than a month—that the tuitionfee was fixed at forty cents a week.

Among these heterogeneous seventy oreighty scholars which Butler essayed toteach, was a fellow named John Peaceperhaps twenty years of age, an expelledmember of the high school in Lowell,and long a pupil of the academy, fromwhich he had been innumerable timesbanished, for "raising the devil," but al-ways being permitted to return. Onepleasant autumn day, John having donesomething exceedingly improper, Butlershouted from his desk, where he satmending a pen :

Peace did not take his books, but hoeft his seat, walked to the door, openedt, turned about, and crkd :

"D n you, Ben Butler ! If youwant a threshing, come out of doors, youcrooked-shanked, cross-eyed devil!"

That was more than Butler couldstand, and dropping the peu, but retain-ing his knife; ho sprang from his chair,jumped from the platform, aud dasheddown the aisle toward the door.

Peace had not expected this movement,having issued his challenge merely as abit of boasting, and snatching his capfrom a peg iu the hall, he ran out of theacademy, leaped down the steps aud com-menced a hasty retreat iu the directionof the citY.

learning had ever before been put at theirwits end to deal with. However, he con-trived at length to graduate, and returnedto his home at Lowell.

It was now that my acquaintance withhim for the first time became intimate,commencing at my father's house, wherehe called with a friend of our family oneAutumn afternoon. I thought him thequeerest looking specimen of humanity Ihad ever seen. lie was about five feeteight inches in height; with short, crookedlegs; a full pale face, bearing the mostdecided marks of intellect aud indomita-ble energy of character; the top of hishead bald, and his back hair falling in along, light-brown, cascade far below hiscoat collar; added to which, he was mostcuriously and wonderfully squiut-cyed,the lids of his eyes while talking withmo being nearly closed, resembling thoseof an owl in the day time,- Subsequently,these remarkable organs of vision as-sumed another appearance. Shortly uftorthe French operation for the strabismuswas introduced iuto this country, a dis-tinguished surgeon of Lowell, persuadedButler to submit to it, but one optic hav-ing been set right he positively refusedto have the other touched, declaring thatthe agony he suffered was too great to beendured again, so that at present the ex-pression of his eyes is decidedly striking,not to say comical.

A few weeks after this, I was sitting ata bench iu a school-room, and before meoccupying the teacher's desk on the plat-form, was the unique figure of Ben Butler.

A half a mile from the City of Lowell,across the Merrimack, ou the summit ofa lofty hill, stood a white two-storiedstructure, known as " Draeut Academy "—an institution with a remarkable histo-ry, which I may some day write. Theprincipal of this academy resiguing aboutthe time Butler returned from College,poor aud in debt, he applied for ancj waschosen to fill the vacant chair, enteringhis name at the same time as a law Stu-dent with W. II. Smith, father of thenow famous Boston attorney, II. F. Du-rant, who sumo yeafs ago assumed thefamily name of his mother. The char-acter of this scat of learning was pecu-liar, and is worthy a brief uotice. Beinglocated so near Lowell, aud a municipallaw prohibiting those expelled from oneschool from attending another, a goodlynumber of the pupils were wild, fast fel-lows, whom the city authorities had re-fused to educate at the public expense.—

geuious and original devices which heemployed to release his clients from theclutches of the law. A single instancewill suffice as an illustration of this.

A young man had been arrested inLowell for passing counterfeit money,and lodged in jail. As a matter of course,he employed Butler to defend him, audI was accidentally present when the casecame on for trial, at the. Criminal Termof the Court of Common Pleas. Theindictment having been read, no one wasin tne ieast surprised when Uutler aroseand demanded of the judge the imme-diate discharge of his client

'What reason hnvo you, Mr. Butler,"asked the judge, "for making such anextraordinary request of the court?"

•A good and sufficient reason, yourBen. The personindictment with tho

8 3Jrtui jat always k',-pt ou hand, ond made to cr-

honor, repliedcharged in thecrime of counterfeiting, is not my cli-ent, the prisoner at the bar. The per-son there mentioned is one John Tomp-kinn, a very different individual frommy client, whose natr.e is John L.TompkinR, against whom there beingno cbnrge, I demand that he be set atliberty."

A few minutes sufficed to convincetrie court that there was unquestiona-bly a flaw in the indictment, and theSheriff was ordered to discbarge theprisoner,

No sooner had the words fallen fromthe lipn of tho jndgo, thnn Butlorsprang from his seit to the prisoner'sbox. wrenched open the door, seizedliia client by the collar, dragged himout, aud whispered in his ear, loudenough to be hoard by all tha members(if the bar present:

"Now do you get out of this courtroom d d quick, and get out of thecity as fast as your legs can carry you,or they will nab you again."

"The man made for the door, fol-lowed by n law student ot Butler's,and immediately disappeared In afew moments the law student returnedin breathless haste, and whisperedsomething in Butler's ear, who instant-lv sprang to his feet, seized his broad-brimmed straw hat. and dashed out ofthe court room. Mv curiosity wasexcited and T immediately followed.—Reaching the outer door, I saw Benat the distance of half a block, rushingdown the street at the top of bis speed.In a second the wind blew off his hat,but not stopping to recover it, ho keptahead, his longhair streaming in thobreozo, and a crowd ot boys and loaf-ers at his heels. Hastening after him,T soon came to a group of persons inthe center of whom was tho sheriff incharare nf the just released counterfeit-er. Butler at once confronted theofficer of justice, and demanded toknow what in hell he was doing withthat man, and insisted that the warrantfor bis ra-arrest should be instantly pro-duced. Tho document was not forth-coming, for the reason that it was bo-

worthy client by the arm, assisted himin getting clear of the crowd, and t enadmonished him to run for his lit'©,which excellent legal advice the man atonce commenced to follow, and fled upthe street at a 2.40 gait.

It may amuse the reader to knowthat I lie culprit was arrested a few hoursafterwards in an adjoining town, andreturned to jail—that upon being againbrought to trial, Butl§r found a newflaw in the indictment, and procuredbis discharge—that ho was a thirdtime arrested, and brought to trial,when the principal witness against himwas found to have suddenly and mys-teriously disappeared, which circumstance procured his release, and lef; thevictory with the indefatigable Ben.

But from this position, as a sharp,shrewd, and too often unscrupulous le-gal defender of base humanity, in afew years a fortunate occasion suddenly elevated him to a proud rank, andfurnished him with a reputation secondto that of no criminal lawyer in theState. By the merest accident, I think,he happened to be retained as one ofthe counsel in a famous murder case.which occupied tho attention of theourt for many days. Here he dis-

played such remarkable ability in theexamination of witnesses, in the gene-ral management of the trial, and final-ly in his address to tho jury, that withr>ne consent, the judges, members of:he bar, the press and the public, ac-knowledged his unrivaled talents as anadvocate, and predicted for him a bril-iant career From this time he wasretained in the most important trialshroughout. the State, and perhaps of-ener than any other member of tlie

on, and defiance to the traitors-of Ten-e?see and the South. Said he :" I look upon the doctrine of seces-

Speaking of the persecution of theUnion men in Tennessee, he said :

Ye have met all these things.Ve have met them in open day. Weaye met them face to face—toe to toe

[Applause.]

" I know that in reference to myselfand others rewards have been ottered,and it has been said that warrants havebeen issued for our arrest. Let me sayto you here to-day that I am no fugi-tive, especially no fugitive from justice.[Laughter.] If I were a fugitive, Iwouldjbe a fugitive from tyranny—a fu-gitive from a reign of terror But,thank God, the country in which I live,and that division of the State fromwhich I hail, will record a vote of 25,-000 against the secession ordinance,The county in which I live gave a ma-jority of 2,007 against this odious, dia-bolical, nefarious, holl-born and hell-bound doctrine."

O-nmercial Alarm on the War Questionin France.

The progress of hostilities in Ameri-ca, and the prospects they hold out ofinjury and inconvenienco to the Frenchtrade, have induced t\m Chambers ofCommerce ot Marseilles, Bordeaux.Dunkirk and other leading ports ofFrance, to petition the French Senate,to say that, seeing that, privateering isabolished, and the commerce of bellig-erents is safe under the neutral flag,merchant ships not carrying contra-band of war should not be liable tocapture. This would, if complied with,amount, so far as France is concerned,to the proposition of Mr. Marcy, thatprivate property in war time should beexempt from seizure by armed vessels— the condition on which the UnitedStates government, six years pgo con-sented to abolish privateering. TheFrench Senate does not see its way torecoinmmending the adoption of theprinciple contended for by tlie petition-ers. The Emperor has endeavored tobring about arrangements favorablo tothe immunity of commerce-, and thefree movement of merchant ships inwar time, and even to frame a list ofcontraband of war, to be agreed to byall the maritime powers, so that thereshould be, on the out break of war, nodoubt what does and what does notconstitute contraband. These effortshave not been successful, and it is evi-dent that they relate to questions thesettlement of which can only bo effect-ed by general consent. Yet juristshave attempted, and not without suc-cess, to effect a classification* of thosearticles of commerce which are gener-ally held to bo contraband of war.These have been defined to be—

1. Those whoso use is solely, applica-ble to purposes of peace.

2. Those which aro of direct use inwar.

8. Those which are in doubtful use(promiscui ancipilus unusj, as beingapplicable to purposes of peace or war.

5. Those which have been declaredbe to contraband by public notificationsot one the belligerents.

These ic will be observed, which arenothing more than general classifica-tions or divisions, leave undeterminedthe large and constantly recurringquestions of what articles should bo in*eluded in one or other of tho divisionsThe fact is, that it has been long sincelaid down by Lord Stowell, anything inthe shape ot merchandise may be re-garded as contraband of war, if it beintended for tho support, aid or com-fort of an enemy. Until of late years,coals were never heard of as included,among articles contraband ot war.—Coals, however, were so regarded bythe Russian government in 1854, andby the Austrian government 1859. Infact, ihe law of nations recognize theright of either belligerent to declareany article contraband of war, provided:iue notification be given to that effect.On this subject of contraband of warthe European Powers have from timeto time come to arrangements amongstthemselves. Such an arrangement wasincluded in the treaties of Ryswick,Nimeguen and Utrecht; and at a con-siderably earlier period an understand-ing was arrived at on the subject ofcontraband of war between France andEngland. There is nothing to preventsuch an understanding being enterediuto between the European Powers, orany of them, and the belligerents onthe other side of the Atlantic ; and, inthe interest of maritime commerce, wehave only to say the sooner it is ar-rived at the better.

That the French government shouldrefuse to entertain the request of theChambers ot Commerce that privateproperty 6houkl be ro.-pected in wartime, it not unaccountable, is at least,inconsistent. Tho declaration of Paris

so >vou!d bo inlii.-i opinion ^ratutioua-ly to weaken the naval force of France,more especially as France possessesfew colonies and DO great extent offoreign trade. These, it seems to us,are just the reasons why the Frenchgovernment should aid by every meansthe liberation of commerce from thedisabilities attaching to it, whether inpeace or in war. The interruption tomaritime commerce produced by hostil-ities may be supported by a nationwhich has large colonial possessionsand u commanding trade, but it be-comes n si.rioiw frinaiilnrnrion with aState where these conditions are re-versed. But the foreign trade ofFrance is greatly on the increase. Itis time for France to take her place asa great maritime Power, and to de-clare in favor of the adoption of thonlightened, humane and progressive

principles of the immunity of tho prop-erty of non-combatants, whethor by«ea or by land, from tho ravages ofwar. Perhaps, however, France iswaiting for this country to set in thisrespect the example. If so, there is noexcuse on our part for this continuedembarrassment of a question in whichthe interest of commerce and of naviga-tion aro so deeply involved. The policv of the French government, as it re-spects the American civil war, is atlength declared. Tho Tdbtiteur of thisday announces it to be the Imperial re-solve to maintain " a strict neutrality inthe conflict between the government ofthe Union and the States which pretendto form a separate confederation." Thesympathies of the French governmentmay perhaps without ••much difficultybe interred from tho wording of thisdeclaration, but it is obvious that the

A Soldier's Feelings in Battle.Our citizen soldiers, inexperienced in

the battle field, will find the most terri-ble moments just before the battle be-gins. A soldier in his narration of per-sonal adventures iu the Mexican war,war, published in " Howe's Achieve-ments of Americana," gives some inter-esting items of this head in his descrip-tion of the battle of Palo Alto, the opcu-ing battle of the war.

When all was ready, both armies stoodstill about twenty minutes, each waitingfor the other to begin the work of death,aud during this time I did not see a sin-gle man uf the enemy move ; they stoodlike statues.

We remained quiet with two excep-tions. Gen. Taylor, followed bv hisstaff, rode from left to right at a slowpace, with his log thrown over like awoman, and as he passed each regimenthe spokj words of eucouragemeut. Iknow not what he said to the others, butwhen he came up to where we stood, helooked at us steadily; I suppose to seewhat effect the circumstance in which wewere placed, had upon us, and as hegazed, he said: '-The bayontt, iny liardycocks ! The bayonet is the thing I" Theother occasion was that of Lieut. Blake,of the Engineers, who volunteered to gal-lop along the eucmy's line, in front ofboth armies, and count their guns, andso close did he go, that he might havebeen shot a hundred times. One of theofficers of tho enemy, doubtless thinkinghe had some communication to make,rode out to meet him; Blake, however,took no notice of him but rode ou, audthen reported to Taylor.

Thus stood the belligerent armies, faceo face, What were tho feelings in•hose men's Lrcasts? What were thefeelings of those thousands ? How manythoughts were crowded into those fewmomeuts? Look at our men ! a clammysweat is settled all over their faces, slight-ly pale, not from cowardly fear, but froman awful sense of peril, combined with adetermination not to fliuch from duty.—These are the moments in which truesoldiers resign themselves to their fate,a u u LULI i iiirrnrrrt TTTT.II " > " rpTinn-

tion that whatever may befall them, theymay act with honor, these are the mo-ments when the absolute coward suffers

than death—when, if not certainthat he would be shot down in his tracks,he would turn and tlee. Fighting is veryhard work; the man who has passedthrough a two hour's fight, has livedthrough a great amount of physical andmental labor. At the end of a battle Ialways found that I had perspired so pro-fusely as to wet through all my thickwoolen clothing, and when I had gotcool, I was as sore as if I had been beaten all over with a club. When the bat-tle commences, the feelings undergo achange. Header, did you ever see yourhouse ou fire? if so, it w.as then you rush-id into great danger; it was then you

went over places, climbed over walls,lifted heavy loads, which you never:ould have doue in your cooler moments ;

you have then experienced some of theexcitement of a soldier in battle. I al-ways know my danger—that at any mo-ment I was liable to be killed, yet suchwas my excitement that I never fully re-alized it. All men are not alike; someare cool; some are perfectly wild or cra-zy ; others are so prostrated with fearthat they are completely unnerved—anawful sinking and relaxation of all theirenergies takes place, awful to behold;they tremble like an aspen, sink intoditches and covert places, cry—dead toevery emotion but the overwhelming fearof an iustaut death. We had a few, andonly a few, of such in our army.

As the two armies were lacing eachother, it was remarkable to see thecoolness of our men ; there they stood,hewing bits of b'scuit, and talking

about the Mexicans—some wonderingif they would fight; others allowingthat they would, and like demons.etc.I kept my eyes on the artillery of theeuemy, and happened so to be lookingtowards their right wing, when sud-denly a white curl of smoke sprang up

ono of their guns, and 'hen I sawthe dust fly some distance in front,where the ball struck. Instantly another, and then anothor, ,.nd then an-other curl of smoke arose, succeededby a booming sound, and then the shotcame crushing towards us. Tho ene-my fired very rapidly, and their ballsknocked the dust about us in all di-rections—some went clear over ourheads, others struck the ground infront and bounded abay.

Our batteries now went to work andpoured iu upon them a perfect storm ofron; Lieutenant Churchill and his men

began with his eighteen pounders, andwhen the first was fired, it made such aoud report that our men gave a spon-taneous shout which seemed to inspireus with a renovveel confidence. I couldhear every ivord the Ljeutenant said to:iis men. When the fiistgnn was fired,

watched tho ball, saying, " Tooligh, men ; try another;"—" too low,men, try another !—the third time is

Churchill, jumpiug up about two feoi ;you have them now, keep at that "

and so they did, and every shot torejomplete latn-s through the enemy'sines, but they stood it man'ully. The

full chorus of battle now raged;: 23pieces ot artillery belched forth theirron hail.

Wo were ordered to lie down in thegrass to avoid [the shot; this puzzledthe enemy, and they could not bringtheir guns to boar upon us, makingour loss very small. Many were thenarrow escapes, one ball came withinsix inches of my left side. The forceof tho shot was tremendous; a horse'sbody was no obstacle at all; a man'sleg was a more pipo stun, t watchedthe- shot as it struck the roots of thograss, and it was astonishing how thedust tievv. ID about an hour the grassoaught fire, and the clouds of smokeshut out the opposing armies. We hadnot vet lost a inau iu our regiment Inthe obscurity the enemy had changedthe'.,!1 lino, and the eighteen pounders,supported by our regiment, took a newposiiion on a liitle risy of ground.

As we moved on to tlie spot, a sixpound shot carried away tho lowerjaw o!'C?^pt. Tago, and then took offa man's head on the right, as clean asa knife. The blood of poor Page was

tho memory of that night I shall carry ;with me to my dying day. A little la- jtor Major Ringgold "was mortally Iwounded at his battery; I saw himjust after it. A shot had torn awaya portion of the flesh of his thighs; itsforce was tremendous, cutting oil bothhis pistols at the locks, and also thewithers of his horse, a sp'enrlid steed,which was killed to relieve him of hismiseries. Tfoe enemy tried hard, butwithout avail, to hit our eighteenpounders. The battle continued untilnight put an end to the scene. Webivouacked where we were, and hud onour arms; we slept however, but little,thinking that we might bo attacked inour sleep. *

The enemy had been very severelyhandled, owing to tho superiority ofour artillery. The gunners went inoit more like butchers than men ; eachstripped off his coat, rolled up hissleeves, and tied up his suspendersaround his waist; they all wore redflannel shirts, and therefore were inuniform. To see them limbering anduulimbering, firing a few shots, thenduajwng through the smoke,<ina thento fire again with lightning rapidity,partly hid from view by dense cloudsof smoke, with their dark red shirtsand naked arms, yelling at every shotthey made, reminded me of a band ofdemons rather than men.

Search for Contraband of War-The correspondent of the Boston <7b«r-

nal relates incidents attending tlie searchfor contraband at the llelay House. Wequote :

You hoar the whistle of tho trainbound for Harper's Ferry, As it comesrounding the curve, the guard is drawnup on each side of the track. Soon asthe traiu stops, a soldier steps on eachplatform of every car, and sees that nooae gets off or on. The one whose busi-ness it is to ''develop" any contrabandarticles or persons enters the forward passengor car. He looks on and under thefirst seat aud finds nothing but a verysuspicious female. Her hoops are verylaiffe. m m .tin: -,-.- .i ithough she indulged in a free uso of cot-ton, or else is a walking traiu in the ser-vice of the rebels. Tho searcher iooks,but doesn't know what to do. Ha can-uot, of course, treat her as he would amau, for everybody would call him abrute, and besides, he has uo taste forsuch things. At last he timidly requeststhat she will rise, iu the hope that sometreasonable article may fall aud discoverher character.

Here is a laan who either looks a littleconfused, or else puts on a stolid expres-sion, as though he were utterly indiffer-ent. After having carefully investigatedthis seat, the searcher politely asks theindividual to empty his pockets. Mindyou, this is really done politely, ami |while asking a thousand pardons for thedemand. All letters directed to indi-viduals south of tho Potomac are confiacated. Oftentimes they have been foundto contain valuable information. If theman is very suspicious the search is cor-respondingly rigid. The hands aro passodover his coat and inside his vest'and woebe to him is anything if discovered thatstamps him as a spy. So the cars arelooked through, one by one. > Some ofthe passengers laugh, some grow madand swear, some see tho reason of thething aud yield at once, others blusterand threaten, and have to be shut up bythe fear of immediate arrest if they opentheir moulhs again.

The searcher then says: " All whohave baggage will please step into theforward car." He then asks each manto op>.n his trunk, aud passes his hand ascarefully as may be through the bundlesof varieties with which human beings filltheir apparatus. One's luggage does notundergo ono half the dauger which it issubjected to in a Liverpool custom house.I have seen both classes of operators, andI would much prefer to go by tho Belaythan to laud in Liverpool.

Suddenly the searcher comes across acommoii-louking, red, wooden trunk. Itis marked Mary Birkitt, Wheeling, Vir-ginia. There is nothing suspicious abouthi. I i loolia in k e e p i n g w i t h s o i n o village auut, who had forsworn the companyof the coarser sex, and had just returnedfrom a visit to some relations who hadlately thrown themselves away by swear-ing, in the presence of a parson, to keephouse, neatly and economically, for someone of those worthless creatures calledmen. The searcher calls out for Maryto come and display her dry goods, butuo Mary is to be found. He calls again,and with the same result. Tho conduc-tor is qucstioued, but he knows nothingabout the matter. The thing looked allright, but it wou't do to lut even MaryBirkitt's trunk go on without knowingwhat is in it.

We give an extract from a letter fromwhich it will be perceived that thecharge of the dragoons left a lively invpressiou upon the minds of secession'ists :

"Their account of the fight wasamusing. I will give you one, fromnote3 written secretly twenty minutesafter I heard it. It is nearly verba-tim : i

I went up to the brave man andspoke to him.

" Do you ever see the boy whomyou s tved ?"

Next morning alarge troop of men armed themselvesand inarched into tho woods to ascertainthe reajou of the presence of the Indiansbut their trip was useless, as, after care-ful search, no Indians, excepting two orthree squaws ami papooses, couldbe found.

Plans at Washington.The readers of the 1'ree Press will,

perhaps, be interested in whatever ap-poars to bo an authentic programme, sofar as it goes, of the purposes of thePresident and his advisers. It is furnish-ed by James Walsou Webb, in a letterto the New York Courier and Enquirer,of recent date, and is written from Wash-ington, where the writer has been sojour-uing on confidential terms with the ad-ministration, whilst awaiting his instruc-tions as Minister to Brazil. If ho iscorrect, tho war wears the aspect of awar of outposts for a long time to come:

" His therorj is, ' This rebellion mustbe put down, and tliiit speedily, costwl at it may. Time is money. The warmust be brought to a closo next winter,at any cost. Better employ four or evenfi\e hundred thousand men, and close thewar in one winter's cnnipiign, than tocarry it iuto another year, by an econnmyof ni' n and money. Say what force you•want, and it is at your service ; only bearin mind that the rebellion must be crush-ed out, and tho leading rebels hung ordriven from tho country by next spring.'

'"To this his Cabinet cordially asseut ;and General Scott, to whom Mi* Lin-coln looks to do the work, as readily un-dertakes the task. The old hero insists,howover, that while a proclamation willif required, call half a million of meninto tho field, it takes time to convertthem into soldiers. ' Make haste slowly,' a his motto; and, as ho has never re-treated, aod never mot with a reverse, heoays to the Cabiuet, ' It is your duty toresist the outside pressure, and preachpatieuco to the people. We have abun-dance of men and money; and in duotime wo shall have abundance of themunitions of war. The only thing wearo deficient in is patience; and that gen

With icexhaustible means andany desirable number of men, all of whomwill be good soldiers by November, youhave only toex^ic'sc patience, and on orbefore the 1st of May next, I pledgewhat litllo reputation I have acquired,that the rebellion shall be suppressed, theconstitution and the laws be vindicated,•nd the Union of the (States re-establish-ed. The people have so willed i t ; andwith ordinary patience, every good citizenmay feel assured that peace and quietwill pervade the country and businessgubside into its usual chanuels before thelet day of May, 1862.' "

Taken in ooimootion with tho above,tho following, from a Londou paper, mayuot bo uninteresting as harmonizing inits judgment of General Scott's characterwith the purpose set forth by GeneralWebb:

"General Scott is proverbially a slowcommander. Ho is always unpopu-lar during his campaign.

It is not my pur-pose, neither is iu consonance with myinstructions, to interfere in any mannerwhatever with the legitimate govern-ment of tho people of Baltimore orMaryland. I desiro to support thepublic authorities in all appropriateduties, in preserving the public peace,protecting tbo property, in obeyingand enforcing every municipal regu-lation and public statute consistent withthe constitution of the United Statesand Maryland. But unlawful combi-nations of moo, organized for resistanceto such laws, to provide hidden depos-its of arms ami atmu iuiniliuug, to en-courage contraband traffic with menat war witli the government, and who,while enjoying its protection and priv-ileges, stmlthily await an opportunityto combine their means and forces withthose in rebellion against its authority,are not among the legal or recognizedrights of any class of men, and cannotbe pormi ted under any form of gov-ernment. Such combinations are wellknown to exist in this Department, andtho masses ot the citizens of Baltimoreand of Maryland, loyal to the constitu-tion and the Union, are neither partiesto nor responsible for them. But theChief of Poiiee is not only cognizantof these facts, but in contravention ofhis duty, and in violation of law, he is,by direction or indirection, both witnessand protector to tho parties engagedtherein, Under such cirsumstanees thogoveroment cannot regard him other-wise than as at the head of an armed

force, hostile to its authority and act.-,.,<- ••- .-Miwort. wiUi its a v o w e d e n e m i e sfor this reason. Superseding hisollicialauthority, as well as that of f l isioner of tho Pclieej I have now arres-ted and do now detain him in custodyof the United States, and in further pur-suaace of my instructions, I have appointed, for the timo being, Col.

The Skirjnish on Patterson's Creek.Washington, June 28.

Lieut. General Scott to-day receivodthe following dii-patch:

Cumberland, Md., June 27."To GBN. MCCLELLAN : I have been

accustomed to sending my mountedpickets, 13 men in all, to different postsalong the several approaches to Cum-berland. Finding it next to impossibleto get trustworthy information of theenemy, yesterday I united the 13, anddirected thorn, if possible, to approachFrankfort, a town about midway be-tween this place and Komnev, and as-certain if any rebel troops were there

They went within a quarter of amile of the placo, and found it full ofcavalry. Returning, they overtook 40horsemen, and at once charged onthem, routing and driving them backmore than a mile, killing eight of them,and securing seventeen horses. Cor-poral Hays, in command of mJT men,was desperately wounded with sabre-cuts and bullets. Taking him back,they halted about an hour, and werethen attacked by the enemy, who werereinforced to about 75 men. Tho at-tack was so sudden that they aban-doned the horses, and crossed to asmall island at tho mouth of PattersonCreek.

The chargo of tho rebels was boldand confident, yet 23 fell under the fireof my pickers close about and on theisland. My fellows were finally drivenoff, and scattering, each man for him-self, are all in camp now. CorporalHays, of Company A, was wounded,but is recovering. One John C Hold-ingbrook, of compariy B, is dead.—Tlio last was taken prisoner and brutal-ly murdered. Three companies wentto the groand this morning and recov-ered everything belonging to my pick-cio c.i'jtrpc t . .v,.. wr die UuiBKO. XIIUenemy were engaged an night in box-ing up their dead.

Two of their officers were killed.They laid out 28 on tho porch of aneighboring farm house. I will burymy poor fellow to-morrow.

I huvo positive information, gainedto day, that there are four regimentsof rebels in and about Romney, underCol. McDonald. What their particu-lar object is I cannot learn.

The two Pennsylvania regiments arein encampment at Sato Line, nine milesfrom here, awaiting further orders.—They have not yet reported to me.They hesitate about invading Maryland.

The report of tbo skirmish soundslike fiction, but it is not exaggerated.The fight was really one of the mostdangerous on record, and abounds ininstances of wonderful daring andcoolness.

LKTTEIIS FOR THE TROOPS.—It is ab-solutely necessary that letters directedto tho soldiers should have the numberof tho company and regiment to whichthey belong, as well as the State, writ-ten out in full on tho envelopo ; other-wise they do not reach their destina-tion.

CONFISCATION IN MOBILE.—The Mo-bile papers aro urging the necessity o*confiscating ull tho property in that citywhich id owned by Northern citizens.A large portion of the city is owned bvnorthern people.

j£3C* Our printei s arc all patriots, en-dowed withal with the rights of ordinarycitizen?, and must celobrato yesterdayaud as we " go to press" at an early hourthis morning, it is impossible to detail thedoings of the day. The day was pleasant,there was a large gathering, a procession,music, and speeches, and every thingpassed off without accident.

A Trip to Lansing.We visited Lansing last week for

tho first time fince the winter of 1858—59. Adopting tho motto that " thelongest way round is tho nearest wayhome," we went via Detroit, Owossoand the " Kams-horn Railroad." Going west from Detroit, we noticed thaithe crops along the line of the Delroiand 'Milwaukee Railway wera lookingwell, Wheat and early Corn especiallyso. "From Owosso to Lansing thecountry is new, much of the land lowand inclined to swampy, and tho Comlooks as though it had come up throughmuch tribulation and might •' silk outbefore the early frosts—provided theircoming is postponed long enough.

By tho way, we found the " Ramshorn" a great institution. As its coursefor this section is a direct lino, we founctbe significance of the term in its upsand downs and its decided disinclinalion to preserve a horizontal conditionIn fact, it is a primitive railway, rivaling the best days of tho Erie and Kalarnazoo, of t!i3 Pontiao in tho palmiest days of " Salt Williams." Theluxurious nccomodations furnished firsclass passengers consist of an nxpresoaggug'j tui, autvil ;» tk« « J

comp°.;-trr.ent for twelve passenger?, anaif there are more unfortunates they ar6privileged to occupy trunks in the bag-gage compartment—decidedly the mostpleasant room of the two. The loco-motive—a little " one-horse" concern,was fed from the roadside, and wateredfrom a li swamp ditch" by passing upbuckets "hand over hand," the opera-tion furnishing a shower bath for thelaborers and amusement for tho pas-sengers. Truth compels us to say,however, that when we returned, a tankhad been erected at the Looking Glass,and that hereafter that part of tbesport is spoiled.* The " Hams-horn" is in running ord-

er to within 6ix miles of Lansing, butto make this sis stages must go aroundthe big marsh increasing tho distanceto nine. The grading is nearly com-pleted into Lansing, but no seer vent-ures to predict—or even "guess"—when it will be finished and the tracklaid. To every inquiry echo answers" when !" It is a shame to the Stato thata Radroad has not been completed tothe Capital years ago, and now that theiron horse is compiled to stop almostwithin hearing the shame is more appa-rent; but we suppose it must be en-dured until the " crisis" is over,the "crisis" which is likely to cover amultitude of sine, especially those of ashort coming type.

We tound Lansing " at home," andimproving slowly but surely. Since itbecame a City the streets have beengraded, and—tax payers have gruntedMuch building has been done withintwo years, and we noticed some finedwellings comdeled and in process oferectiou, dwe!li"ga which would docredit to any of our .State Cities. Busi-ness was reported dull, and in whatplace is it not? Our stay was short, andour timo devoted to the object of ourvisit, for " brief mention" of whioh seeanother article.

Returning, we spent two or threehours in Owosso, and took a partialsurvey of that City. It is a beautifultown, and gives evidence of generalthriving. The looation is fine, the wat-er power abundant, and when its pros-pective Railroads are completed it willbe one of the most prosperous Cities intho State.

So much, or rather so little of our" notes by the way."

The Northern and Southern Troops Com-pared-

In a late interview at Cairo betweenMr. Russell, tho American correspon-dent of tho London T'imes, and a NewYork Herald correspondent, the latternaked Mr. Russell how tho northernsoldiers at Cairo compared with thesouthern troops that he had juft seen.Mr. Russell made the following re-sponse :

Mr. Russell—In the points you havomentioned, so far as I have been ableto observe, these men are far in advance&f those at the South ; in fact, there isno chance at comparison. The south-ern army are poorly uniformed, poorlydisciplined, and, I judge from what lit-tle I havo seen of them on parade,know but little of tactics or field evo-lutions.

Mr. Ward, a gentleman who traveledwith Mr. Russell, stated that the south-ern soldiers are as a general thing, tal-ler by half a head, and larger everyway, than our troops. His attentionwas called to another point thus:

Herald correspondent—In the gen-eral doportment of the troops is thereany marked difference?

Mr. Ward—A grefit difference, sir.These men appear to bo all sober sub-stantial fellows, loving discipline, whileupon the part of those at the SouthI observed a great prevalence of drunk-enness. The men there are disorderly,and the officers, in a great measure, ei-ther do not understand their manage-ment or are utterly incompetent to en-force discipline. I am inclined to think,however, that the personal prowess ofthe southern men is superior to yournorthern men. They will enter thebattle with more bravery and recklessdating; but coolness and disciplinewill compensate for any want of per-sonal prowess.

On the whole, therefore, it appearsto be tho testimony of disinterestedwitnesses that tho material of the north-ern troops is better than that of theSouth; besides, tee have about threetimes at many.

Gen. Lee wants to Come Back Again.Washington, Juno 27, 1861.

Some days ago I inlormed you thata rupture had broken out between Da-vis and Lee, the Comrnander-in-Chiefof the Virginia forces. Although thereport was not believed in many quar-ters, I have tho best authority for sav-ing that the dispatch in question wastrue. Indeed, intelligence was receivedat the War Department to-day thatGen. Leo had left the Rebel army indisgust, and was anxious to have hisold position in the Federal arms. Addto this the recent complimentary letterfrom Mrs. Lee to Gen. McDowell, pub-lished some days ago, and it wouldseem as if she was trying to pavo theway for her husband's reinstatement.—Tel to Phil.

Casualties in War.In an article calling attent'iDn to the

sauitarv condition and requirements ofonr troops now in the field, the N. Y.Tribune- groups together the followingstatistics of the Crimean aDd Mexicancampaigns:

Iu the Crimean war, England lost 33,-643 men out of a force of 93,989; ofthat number, 2,058 only were killed iuaction, and 1,7(31 died of wounds. But10,298 died of diseases iu the camp hos-pitals, and 13,000 were discharged incura-ble, many of whom, no doubt, subse-quently died. To every oue takenwounded to tho hospitals, twelve weretaken there sick, and among the woundeddisease was often the secondary condi-tion, so that of this class those who died,fell victims more frequently to disobedi-ence to sanitary law than to wounds re-ceived in battle. In tho first sevenmonths of the Crimean campaign, theEnglish troops died at a ratio of (30 percent, a year.

In the French army, the statistics areno less appalling. In four months, therewere 47,000 cases of typhus in the hos-pitals, of which a third wero fatal. Inthe twenty months of tho campaign,there were 193,000 cases of invalidism,

j less than one-fourth of which were fromj wounds, the other three-fourths being! cases of disease. About 15,000 perishedI in battle or died of wounds recoived• there; but 50,000 died of sickness, andj 65,000 were discharged for illuess, a largeproportion of whom probably never re-covered.

Our own experienco in tho Mexicanwar was of the same character. Auiougour troops, there perished at the seat of

j war 12,896, and 12,252 were dischargedbecause of illness. Of these last, manydied on their way home, and m3ny moreafter they reached there; so that it wascalculated by those who were most likely

i to come to au accurate estimate, that ourentire loss was from 16,000 to 18,000.—But there were killed in battle and diedof wounds only 1,548; the other 13,000to 16,0 ;0 perished from disocise.

The Wis:onsin State Loan-Certain capitalists of Milwaukee

have taken $650,000 to $800,000 of thenew issue of bonds, paying seventy percent in cash down, and reimbursing,from coupons, the thirty per cent thatremains. In other words, the Statosells her bonds at par, at the same tiraopaying her interest several years in ad-vance. I t is now considered that thoState colud not at this time havp donebetter, as the amount actually paid inwill bo- amply sufficient, fur all presentneeds.

The Santa Fe mail, nnd the CannonCity Express arrived this morning, andbrings dates from Cannon Oily to the17th ult., and New Mexico to the 15tVi.

Despite the high waters and otherhindrances, tbo proprietors are deter-mined to come up to or ahead of timeon this route, and so far they are meet-ing with encouragement in the way ofpassengers and express matter.

Col. Boono has received a number ofwagon loads of presents for the KiowaIndians at Fort Wiso, and has authori-ty to conclude a treaty ot peace withthem.

About 3.000 Kiowa and CamancheIndians were assembled at the mouthof the Pawnee Fork, while the Arra-pnhoes and Chyenues are encampedabove and below Fort Wise, all in anxions expectation of receiving their an-nual gifts. They did not molest themail party, and will not during tho en-suing season. Speyelberg's trainreached Santa Fe with largo supplies,and other trams wero expected daily.—One or two very refreshing aud copiousshowers of rain had fallen which gavethe New Mexican lartr.ers hopes of yetmaking corn. Accounts from the SanJuan mines wero flattering, and weremore favorable than heretofore. A du-el was fought near Old Fort Marcy, bo-iween John G. Phillips and JamesGumming. No injury resulted to ei-ther party. Col. Grayson and Dr. Mc-Dowal wore to start to tho States bythe Southern mail on the 18th ult.—Our farmers here are in the m,idst oftheir harvest, and an abundant yield isi-xpected.

yLiies Jewels, by Hattie J. Gnswold,

of Vermontville, was_ft beautiful casket, brim-ful of lije't jewels

" English Classics," by Miss Mary Seymour,of Flushing, showed a good degree of leadingand a good use made of it.

" Temples," by Victte V. Brysnt, author ofIhe Salutatory, was a highly finished, satis-fying article.

" Feeling and Truth," by Miss S. A. Bal-lard, of Lansing, was one of the very bestpieces of the day, but like several others, waspot appreciated as it deserved, because readin too low a tone of voice.

H A Leader Fallen,' by Miss Mary S. Hewjtt, of Howell, was a noble, truthful tribute,in exalted verse, to the great man fallen.

"Dtift," and the "Valediotory," were givenby Miss Louisa Turner, of Lansing. In aneasy manner, she sketched the geological his-tory of the earth,not icing the causes that pro-duced the great drift formations As easilydid she sketch the ever-moving tides of hu-man life which are drifting us on and awayfrom the loved scenes of youth. To her teach-ers, her college halls, her class-mates, her fel-low students, and all the hallowed places oftheir school life, she gave such a farewell astouched the finer feelings of the soul

We may add that the youn^ ladies each

»nd all accquitted themselves admirably, and

that their efforts were received with applause

and that the several readers were treated to

profuse showers of elegant bouquets. The

exercises were interspersed with vocal and in-

strumental music, performed by the young

ladies of the School, under the direction of

Mist JEAGER.

At their conclusion, J. W. LO.VGTEAE, Esq ,

President of the Board of Trustees, in a few

appropriate remarks presented each of the

graduates wilh a diploma, and conferred

upon them the degree ol 'Mistress of Science'

—one would have naturally concluded, after

hearing the address of Rev J. M. GEEGOBY,

which followed this ceremony,—if he had

not already concluded so, from the appearance

of t t e class,—that it should have been " Mis-

tress of Heartt." This address of our friend

GBEGOBY was really one of his best efforts —

Hit subject was announced as the "Woman

tubject,' and it was ireated in a,x\ admirable

manner. He advocated the thorough educa-

tion of woman, to fill the sphere of woman,

which he recognized as equal in honor and

influence, but distinct from man. He was evi-

dently no boliever in mascvJine women, and

his terse and truthful criticisms took tho con-

ceit outof all such if any were present I: wat

replete with smind sense, and contained much

which w»s calcu'ated to profit thosa young

Udies about to launch upon ' 'a career." And

may it do so.

In the evening a reception was given in tha

ample rooms of the college building, but of

th<* beauty and talent "gathered there;" of

the social enjoyments of the occasion; of how

we tried to-•' out stay " two Reverend gen-

tlemen of mature nge, and couldn't; of the^par-

tings we witnessed the next morning, as we

were the sixteenth passenger to mount to the

top of " ye stage "—some of them were inside

—which connects with the "Rams-horn," we

have nothing to *-av ; it is fit to preserve an

•loquent Bilence over some events, and these

ore among them,

Suffice it to say that our observations con-

firmed a preconceived opinion that the Mich-

igan Female College is an institution every

way worthy 'of patronage, and that parents

may consign their daughters to the charge of

the Misses ROGEBS and their associates, with

a full confidence that their social, moral, and

•ducationul development will bfl in good

bands. And what more will we say?

Napoleon's Neutrality Decree-The following are the material points

of Napoleon's recent decree of neu-trality in American affairs:

His Majesty, tho Emperor of theFreieh, taking into consideration thestate of peeee which now exists betweenFiance and the United States of Amer-ica, has resolved to maintain a strictneutrality between the government ofthe Union and tbe States which pro-pose to form a separate confederation.

No vessel of war or privateer of ei-ther of th'j belligerent parties will beallowed to enter or stay with prizes inany of our ports or roadsteads longerthan twenty-four hours, except in caseof compulsory delay.

No sale of goods belonging to prizesis allowed in our ports and roadsteads.

Ev«rv Frenchman !s prohibited fromtaking a commission under either ofthe two parlies to arm vessels of war,or to accept letters of marque for priXAiaari.ni>1. J>i)J"JiQS3fl, or to assist in auy_armament of a vesseljof war or priva-teer of either party.

Every Frenchman, whotler residingin Fiance or abroad, in lkewiseprohib-ited fr.>m enlisting or taking service ineither the land army or on board ves-sels of war or pi ivateers of either ofthe two belligerent parties.

Fronohmon residing in Franco orabroad, must likewise abstain from anyact, which, committed in violation ofthe laws <if tho Empire or of Interna-tional law, might bo considered as anact hostile to one of the two parties,and contrary to the neutrality whichwe have resolved to observe. Al! per-sons acting contrary to the prohibitionsand recommendations contained in thisdeclaration, will bo prosecuted, if re-quired, conformably to the enactmentsof the law of tho 10th of April, 1825.

llii Majesty declares, moreover, thatevery Frenchman contravening theprosent enactments, will have no claimto any protection from his governmentagainst any acts or measures, whateverthey may be, which the belligerentsmight e-xereiso or decree.

DENOUNCED AS A LIE.—The Cincin-nati Enquirer denonnces as a miserablefalsehood, the statement sent over thetelegraphic wires by tbo ngent of thoAssociated Press, that Mr. Crittendenwill ofier his compromise accompaniedby a threat of the secession of Ken-tucky, if it is not adopted. He saysthat Air. Crittenden is for the Union alltho time, and is the last man to makethreats against it.

C. BLISS.August 2S, 1S00. 768lf

Scrofula, or King's Evil,is a constitutional disease, a corruption of (heblood, by which this lhud becomes vitiated,•\venk, and poor, licin^ in tlie circulation, ifpervadr^s tui; whole body, and may burst outin disca.se on any part of it. No organ is freofrom its attacks, nur is tin-re one which it maynot destroy. The scrofulous taint is variouslycaused by raoTCtttia] disease, low living, dis-ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filthand iilthy habits, the depressing vices, nnd,above all, by the venereal infection. \Vhut-cvi-v be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-stitution, descending " from parents to childrenunto the third and fourth generation ; " indeed,it seems to be tlie rod of Him who says, " Iwill visit flic iniquities of the fathers upontheir children."

I u effects commence by deposition from theblood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, inthe lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termedtubercles; in the glands, sweilii:^-*; and onthe Surface; eruptions or sores, xfiis foul cor-Tuption, which genders in the blood, depressesthe energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu-tions not only suffer from scrofulous com-plaints, but they have far less power to with-stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-quently v;i»t numbers perisl by disorderswhich, although not scrofulous in their nature,are still rendered fatal by this taint in thesystem. Host of the consumption which de-Clinates the human family has its origin directlyin thU scrofulous contamination; and manydestructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from orare aggravated by the same cause.

One quarter of all our people are scrofulous;their persons are invaded by this lurking in-fection, nnd their health is undermined by it.To cleanse it from the system we must renovatethe blood by an alterative medicine, and in-vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.Such a medicine we supply in

AYER'SCompound Extract of Sarsaparilla,the most effectual remedy which the medicalskill of our times can devise for this every-where prevailing and fatal malady. It is combined from the most active rcmedials that havebeen discovered for the expurgation of this fouldisorder from the blood, and the rescue of the•TOtem from its destructive consequencesHence it should be employed for the cure ofnot only Scrofula, but also those other affec-tions which arise from it, such as EitrrnvEand SKIN DISEASES, PT. ANTHONY'S FIUF.,RdSE, or EUYSHTELA.3, TlMl'T.KS, PoSTOI.ES,BI.OTCIII;S, BI.MXS and lJon.s, TiMOits, TETTERand SALT RHEUM, SCAI.D IIKAD, RINGWORM,Km-.I'MATISM, BVMHLITICar.dMERCUHIALDIS-EASES, DKOPST, DYSPEPSIA, DLHILITY, and,indeed, AI.I. (JOMPI.AIXTS AKISING FROM VITIA-TED oil iMrrur. lii.ooi). The popular beliefin " iiniiurilii of the blood " is founded in truth,for scrofula is a degeneration of tbc blood. Theparticular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-rilla is to purify aud regenerate this vital fluid,without Which'sound health* is impossible incontaminated constitutions.

which, while it cures tho alxive cotniiluiuts with cei>tointy, i* Still pepfectlj harmless iu auy quantity. Sucha remedy is invalimMe in districts where these afflictingdisorders prevail. This "CURE" expels the mbumatkpoison of FBTXB AND AGUE from Ihe system, and pre-veuts tho development of the disease, if taken on thoflTft ;tp]jioach of ita premonitory symptoias. It Is nolonly the hest remedy ever yet discovered for this class ofcomphiiuts, but also tho cheapest. The large quantitywe supply for a dollar brings it within the reach of everybody; and in bilious districts, where FKVER AND AGUEprevails, every body should have- it and use it freely bothfor cure and protection. It is hoped thin price will placeit within the reach of all — tho poor as well as the rich.A great superiority of this remedy over any other everdiscovered for tho speedy and certain cure of Intormit-tents is, that it contains no Quinine or mineral, conse-quently it produces no quinism or other injurious effectswhatever upon tho constitution. Those cured by it areleft as healthy as if they had never had the disease.

Fever and Ague is not alone tho consequence of themiasmatic pojsoQ. A great variety of disorders arise fromIts irritation, among which are Neuralgia, Rheumatism,(.•••>••', Headache, Hhmbicss, Toothache, Earache, Catairh,Asthma, Palpitation, Painful Affection of the Spleen,Hysterics, Pain in the Boiods, Colic, Paralysis, and De-rangement of the filc/mackf all of which, when originat-ing in tills cnuor.pul un tLo itt/n ntitfrni type, or bccotnoperiodical. This " C U R E " expels the poison from theblend, arid consequently cures thorn all alike. It is aninvaluable protection to Intmtgranta s&d persons travel-ling or temporarily residing In tho maluiions districts. Ittaken occasionally or daily while exposed to tho infec-tion, that will be excreted from tho system, und cannoiacctimnlafe in sumcleitt quantity to ripen into disease.Ilenco It is even more valuable for protection than cure,and few will ever Buffer from Intermittent^ if they availthemselves of the protection this remedy affords.
