The London Hei aid publishes the folio*
marki-.ble letter from M. P. Maury, add
Admiral de Chalxuitie, of the French navy, giving
gome uurloua statements of the condition of tbe
rebels, and admitting that Manassas could have
bean taken by tbo Federal forceB had an earlier attack been made :
My Goon Friend :— Your excellent letter of An.
gust last bas reached me only now. Notwithstanding its long tarrying by tho -way. I hasten to thank
you with all my heart, aud to assure you that ita
kind words and generous sentiments bave lost none
of their force by lhe lapse ol time,
I hope you will not think me insensible to the
honors with which you tell me I would be welcomed In Europe, if, at, present, I appear deaf lo
your assurance of their high import.
It is true that the role which, up to this time, I
have been permitted to ploy In tbe great drama
which my country is enacting before tho world, Ib
humble. Bt ill our cause is just: to me the blood of
my children has consecrated it, it is precious to
my heart. All I have and all I own are in it
therefore I prefer to tarry here—a refugee from my
home and my little ones—watching and waiting.
That we have no navy is also true. Nevertheless, something may turn up. Chance may throw
opportunity in my way. If so, here I am in place;
and here I prefer to tarry, content to wait upon
events, and patiently to bide my time.
It has now been but little more than a year since
this war wqb forced upon us. We, on our pari,
bad to commence it without en army, without a
navy, and even without a governmental organization.
On tbo other hand, the enemy, surrounded with
all the appliances of war, and complete in his organization, arranged his legions for battle, and rejoiced in his strength.
Wo found ourselves, purely an agricultural peo.
pie, cut off from the world and suddenly thrown
upon our own resources, while he was backed by
all tho appliances that the workshops of Europe
could supply, or that commerce could furnish.—
Notwithstanding this, our people bravely resolved
to withdraw from all political association with
the North, and to accept the consequences, be they
what they may.
There was no haste, coercion, or intimidation
about this move. Never was the popular will more
fairly expressed than when the Southern people
uttered their voices for secession.
Our enemies have sought to make tho imprcs-
Bion abroad that the reverse was the case; that
this so called rebellion was hatched by a faction,
and is led by a few fire eaters. No such thing,—
We were pushed into it, all unprepared as we
were, by the tyranny aud tho usurpations and the |
factions of the North.
In every Southern State the people were regularly consulted on the question of separation from
theNorlh. They expressed their opinions freely,
and after full deliberation ; and never were people
more unanimous at any ballot box than were ours
for instant, complete and eternal separation from
tbeNorth; and that, too, at the instant, all unprepared as they were. There is now no Union
feeling in the South ; but the Yankees would fain
have you believe tbat thero is.
It is a fact not generally known abroad, but 1
may state it now, that when the war commenced
and even after we had assembled an army in tbe
field, such was the want of preparation, and such
was the lack of munitions of war on our part, tbat
Now let us inquire where that army is, for I
have never been able to mako it out. You know
that we have never pretended to have on our side
more than 400,000 men in the field at any one
time, and that in every advance that Lincoln has
attempted lo make upon ue be has beeu .brought
standstill, or driven back as soon as he parted
from his ships and gunboats.
Neither Hunter in Georgia, nor Benbam in South |
Carolina, nor Burnside in North Carolina, have
found themselves in sufficient force to advance
against us. Halleck had to be called with his army from Missouri fo reinforce Buell so as to enable him to advance upon Beauregard at Corinth^
where we have held the two armies in check for
months. Butler has not force enough to venture
out of New Orleans, and our Jackson, with an army all told ot uot over 21,000, drove the Yankee
j Banks out ofthe valley of the Shenandoah two or
three weeks ago.
With this smalt force he created such a panic in
Washington lhat Lincoln called ont the militia by
telegraph to defend his capital. He also called
General Fremont with his "division" from tho
mountain, and McDowell with bis from Rappahannock, to reinforce Banks, and hold in check
this handful of Confederates, while McClellan with
his " grand army," has been chased from IVich-
ioikI.
Either we are superior to the Yankees in prowess as two to one, or tbey lost in thia war since
December last not leas than a quarter of a million
jof men; orthe "universal Yankee nation''has
attempted a fraud upon the Governments of Europe by misleading them as to the extent of the
preparations to "crush out" tho so called rebellion
in 90 days. Moreover, in all of our engagements
with the enemy, he claims that we outuumber him. r
How cun this be with his 067,000 agaiust onr impended
■100.000? '""" """*'
Where are these 667,000 men? I cannot ac-
| count for more than 400,000. It is true tli at we
have inflicted many and heavy losses upon the enemy in what he has proclaimed to you as victories.
But, great as these losses have been, they do not
account fjr tho difference between 667,000 and
■100,000.
Actum est de Republico.   The Union is gone
and the sooner the world addresses itself to that i
fact the better it will bo for humanity and com-j
m<_rce.
Most that Europe knows of us has been learned 1
through Yankee sources, and I have taken up
your precious time with this disgusting recita'
merely to disabuse your mind of any Yankee falsehoods that may have found a lodgment there,
-jd to give you practical illustration of tbc despicable character of the people with whom, unfortunately, we find ourselves embroiled, and from
whose association wc wish to withdraw.
I pass by Butler's infamous proclamation at New
Orleans, and the  arming   our slaves against our
wives and children, to  tell yon of a Yankee " "
jflnement upon savage barbarity that we have to
contend with
for pence.
But peace is very difficult at present, I admit;
,.i the'North reason has lost ita sway over the
mind of tbe people, aud tbe judgment of theii
rulers has been taken away. In the South passions run high. Therefore, in tho present temper
ofthe two peoples it would be impossible just now
1 for them to agree upon the preliminary step to i
any lasting peace, vi?, : the adjustment of bounda-|
We are, therefore, drifting into a war of
exhaustion.
There are rumors of an armed intervention
from your side ; but upon what basis this intervention is to take place the many tongued dame has
not deigned to enlighten us. Any such intervention cannot but work mischievously if It fail to
recognize the rights of the people in the disputed
States oi Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri freely and fairly to decide for themselves
whether they will cast their lot with the North or
the South. Neither can it be supposed that intervention would recognize any dismemberment of
present States.
With us it is not a war of conquest, but a war
for a principle which is dear to every French heart
— a principle by which your Emperor sits upor
great throne—the right of every people to b.
jj./erned in their own way. The strong arm o
mighty nations may force a peace upon some otbei
basis, but any  such  peace  will prove a hollov

The Government
Our free strictures upou arbitrary arrests have
out intimations (rora certain high quarters
in Washington that if we continue this sort of
comment it will be at our peril. We can believe
that much folly rules there, but this seems almost
incredible. It cannot be thut any branch oi our
government seriously intends to open a war upon
the loyal press—least of all to begin hy assailing
one which, from the outset, bas labored with peculiar zeal to uphold thu President, and inspire
confidence. If there is a preas in tho country
which can fearlessly appeal to its record for proof
of thorough fidelity to the principles of this war,
as originally set forth by the administration, it is
this journal. To the utmost of onr power we have
quickened the people to a sense of the vital character and infinite issues of the contest—have repelled all suggestions of surrender or compromise
—have combatted faction, and every disorganizing
influence—have cheered iu adversity, and admonished in prosperity—and, in every way possible,
have endeavored to sustain and strengthen our
rulers under their mighty responsibilities. We
have conscientiously believed that the support of
theadminislratiou involved the support of thi
Cause, and have been almost as reluctant to reflect
upon the one as upon the other. In this spirit we
have shut our eyes to much that, iu our sober
judgment, wr.fi worthy oi blame—believing that
almost any evil ivaa leee Injurious than diaUuafr
and hoping thal^ time would ameud all errors'
Time did not amend them. It^.ngravated them-
Wheu it at last brought the arbitrary arrest of
ioynl men, we could hold cur peace no longer.
Faithfulness to the cause forbade it, To our
mind, such a violation of the law and justice was
contrary to every principle this war seeks to vindicate. It was robbing loyal minds of their highest
ideas, and loyal hearts of thoir holiest supports-
It was arming the rebels with new arguments. It
was providing foreigners with new sneers. It
tended to nothing but diecouragment, disgrace and
ruin. We protested against it. We shall continue to protest agaiust it. We shall protest against
all things like it. From this time forth wo shall do
our whole duty in respeet to this admiuistration
We shall criticise with ontreserve—approving and
condemning, applauding and denouncing, as freely
as in days of peace. The conviction has been
forced upou us that so only can we fitly discharge
our duty to the country in its awful perils.
The people are now realizing the bitter consc
quecces of undue confidence in the management
of the administration. Tbe abandonment of free
criticism, which followed the disaster at Bn
Run, and the disposition to trust everything
to the discretion of the President, have terminated
in an accumulation of disaster and disgrace that
appals and sickens every heart. Magnificent armies beaten, incomputable treasure wasted, two
hundred thousand lives sacrificed, the capital still
beleaguered, the border states lost, loyal state*
menaced with invasion—all this, too, when the
enemy started with an almost absolute destitution
of every war-necessary, and is still imperfectly
equipped, ragged, and htjlf famished—it is enough
to drive even calm men mad. Considering the
available means aud the actual results, it is the
most disgraceful failure recorded against any government in modern history. And this is the requital of the people's confidence. This is the fruit
of deferential silence when Abraham Lixcoln
chosc to relieve his subordinates by making haste
to assume the responsibility. It is high time that
this passlveness were ended. The people are lost
if tbey do not henceforth form their owu conclusions, and make them respected. Ihey have got
to exercise a constant vigilance, an unsparingcrit-
icism,a.udan untiring pressure. Public opinion
must develop and consolidate itself, aud take a
shape so formidable that no living man or set ol
men, iu Woshiugtou or out of it, will dare defy it.
ThiB is the more necessary because, contrary to
every precedent in a responsible government,
whether monarchical or republican, Mr. Lincoln
makes no change in his cabinet, There is not a
ministry in Europe which could hold power a day
after such a period of disasters as has befallen our
present rule. There is not a throne that is stable
enough to bolster up incompetency so palpably
demonstrated. Aberdeen and Newcastle had to
resign ;for mismanagement in the Crimea not a
hundredth part so gross, or eo damaging. In all
such cases, it is not only the need of securing abler
men that prompts the change, but tbe importance
of giving the nation a substantial pledge of a uow
policy. President Lincoln disregards all such con-
-iderationa. He keeps those in his highest administrative trusts who have utterly forfeited the confidence of the people. We say, then, that this
strange persistency in retaining men who have
been tried and lound wanting, imposes a still high*

history of ihe rebel ooafederacy, koowe that it was
the rebel preas mainly which compelled President
Davis to change his Secretary of War after the
rebel disasters ofthe sprinff, and forced upon him
the aggressive policy which is now developing il-
self with Buch wonderful Buccees and prestige.—
That press used no ijlnudinhmcnts, and practiced
no reserve. It. was thoroughly penetrated with
the feeling that its cause was lost unless there were
a change, aud it thundered its denunciations with
a freedom and a spirit that ought to put to an
everlasting shame the sucking-dove roaring which
has beeu the style with the loyal press, under as
much greater provocation as the honor of its cause
was higher, and its stake more precious. There is
no mistake about it; President Lincoln and his
clibsen advisers must be loss tenderly dealt with.
They must be held more sternly to their responsibilities. They must be made to feel something of
the dreadful earnestness which surcharges the
heart of the people. They must learn to respect
the rights ofthe people, and to treat the people as
their masters, aud not as their servants. They
must tolerate freedom of loyal Bpeech, and renounce all idea of intimidating the loyal press.

Is Abolitionism a Sentiment or a Principle?
Iu the terrible crisis through which tho country
is now passing;, the public mind is sorely tried in
its endeavors to find out a cause commensurate
with an effect eo disastrous. It ia the interest of
certain politicians to argue the people into the
belief lhat shivery Is the fruitful cause of the pros
ent perilous condition of the llepublic, and itis
insisted that but for it we would still be pursuing
a career of unexampled prosperity. That this is a
mischievous fallacy a little serious aud impartial
reflection will, wo ihink, make clearly evident.—
Slavery is not^Jer se the cause, but, through the
designs of fanatical and bad men, & has been made
the cause. It was found au admirable subject with
which to win the political support of those with
whom sentiment takes the place of principle, and
who ace pt a fatt as illustrative of the whole system. Steadily and rapidly has this sentiinenlal
opposition to au institution whicli is bound wilh
tbe industrial Interests of the nation progres.-ed
until It has finally assumed a form that threatens
the annihilation of Lhe nation itself.
That this repugnance to the institution has its
on2i» in seutiment merely, and not in pi-ine.ijile.
is conclusively proved by the social condition of
the free negro in the North. We call him free;
but is he not as much a slave to the prejudices of
society as bis brethren who are held in legal bondage in the South ? What sacrifice to the principle
of unrestrained and universal freedom, so far as it
applies to bis case, have we made ? Is he not excluded from all honorable occupation 1 Does uot
the white man object to work iu the same shop or
factory with him? lias not an overwhelming vote
pronounced agaiust allowing him that inalienable
right of the white citizen, universal suffrage? lias
not the emancipated contraband been prohibited
by one State from entering within its boundaries.
and have not enfficient indications been given iu
other States ta satisfy any candid mind that emigration thereto of colored fugitives would not be
permitted 1 All this yoes to prove that the opposition to slavery is based merely on sentiment, and
not ou principle.
But we will admit, for;the sake ofthe argument,
that some, if not a large number of the oppouents
of the institution, are impelled iu their course by
devotion to what they believe to be a principle.—
Let this be granted, and what follows I Why, we
naturally inquire what sacrifices have they made
to secure its success? Have they contributed geu-
crouslj of the'r means? Have they exhibited a
williuguess to do anything else besides talking and
writing about the horrors of slavery ? Have their
leaders been les-j covetous cf the emoluments of office than their political antagonists, or have they
been found when in office to be less corrupt? Those
who have studied the course of events during the
last .aglrteea months, will have no difficulty in
finding correct answers to these queries. The
daily journals tell us, and the reports of Congressional committees confirm their statements, that
in the letting out of contracts, and in other official
transactions, there nerer has been exhibited such
an amount of political rascality and corruption
since tho foundation of the llepublic.

What is Secesrtotilsm :
It ia a favorite dodge of some people now-a days
to   endeavor   to shut   up  a   man   wiio  disagrees
witli   them  by  accusing him of seccssionism.—
El is an easy  way of getting rid  of an argument
that one cannot answer, It is far easier than convincing an opponent, in fact, it is " as easy as lying."   But is a man a secessionist because he desires pence, or deprecates subjugation, or intimates
a wish that persona!   liberty   was   less restricted ■
Is he a secessionist because lie is not blind to the
discrepancies in official reports, or the shortcomings of government, the incompetency of a general, or the blunders of a statesman ?    Is he a secessionist because lie abhors the idea  of conquerers
or conquered taking the place of fellow citizens in
this Republic, because he wish ef] for no snch union
as that of Ireland with   England, or  Poland with
Russia, on   this broad continent?   Is he a secessionist because he ie alive to the wickedness and
absurdity of enslaving white men in order to set
negroes Iree?   Is a man a secessionist  who does
not believe our  government  infallible-,  our army
invincible, nnd   our resource.**  illimitable 1    la  it
secessionism to hint that our Southern  brethren
arc human  beings still,  tiiat they have   rights
which it  would   be dangerous to disregard, and
feelings it would bo wise to take into account ? Is
it secessionism to admit that they are brave and
wary, or to doubt that they are bo  destitute and
desponding as it is the fashion to represent them ?
Ib it secessionism to shrink from taxation, to wish
that our  government were more frank in dealing
with the people, more desirous  of relieving them
firom the horrors of suspense, more chary of interfering with  the liberty of the press, and freedom
of speech, more economic of public money?    Is it
seccssionism to long wilh a longing of which theso
people have no conception for the  reconstruction
of the Union on the basis of the Constitution, on
the good old guarantees that satisfied   tbe men of
'7G ?    What better nre we than they, or what better is the negro now than ho was iu their day, that
he should be made a bone of contention between
the sections,  a wedge to spl'.t up the Republic?
Our Revolutionary fathers never thought of legislating negroes into equality with white men ; their
sense of right was no   more  sbooked  by tlieir exclusion from   political   privileges than it  was by
the exclusion of tbe idiotic, and   they were right,
for if in the case of the latter, inferiority of intellect is judged sufficient to place the individual below the level of the race, why is not the same
cause sufficient to place an inferior race below tho
level ofa superior ?
Is belief in this secessionism? We think not,
but we have heard men accused of secessionism
lor less, It would be well, therefore, to know if
men are to be dubOed secessionists uecause nrey
caunot think ns Government thinks, or as every
Individual officer of the Governmeut, from the Secretary of State down to the lowest patrolman in a
police district, thinks. For this is what we aro
coining to. Meet abolitionists, or as tbey prefer to
be called just now, emancipationists, where you
will, and presume to assert your right to think for
yourself, to criticise with your lips what you condemn in your heart ; proceed ou the assumption
that your right to differ ftom them is as clear as
their right is to differ from you ; refuse to accept
their say-so as au article of your political creed,
and they discern at ooco that you are a secessionist.
In our opinion, it is not wise to bandy about
such charges recklessly ; disloyalty to the Government should never be assumed, for in a land
like ours, under a Government elected like ours,
to say that the people are disloyal is to say that
the Government ia unworthy.
or—Glass MiU-bles for Iron
^^^^^^^^^^    Balls:
A Richmond correspondent of the ex-Memphis
Appeal (now the Grenada Appeal) devotes pait of
a letter to tbe manner in which the " Yankee Government is swindled by its contractors." He says
an amusing instauce of this cheatery was afforded
in the bombardment of Vicksburg. The officerB of
the ram Arkansas sent to the rebel Secretary of
the Navy, several handsfull of glass marbles such
as the boys call " white alleys" and " alley taws,:'
whicli were thrown out from the Federal fleet shell
ns upon the deck of that vessel. The same
things were found] in the streets of Vicksburg.—
Some contractor, tho correspondent thinks, had
bargained to furnish shells filled with iron grape
shot or leaden bullets, but finding glass and stone
tobe much cheaper materials, he charged the shells
with these articles. They are not so deadly as
iron or leaden missiles would be, by reason of
wanting the momentum the heavier articles would
acquire. The correspondent says the contractor
may have beeu a Southern sympathizer on tbe sly,
and purposely made his shells as little mischievous
as possible, at the same time he serves the interest
of his pocket. It, is rather to be presumed, however,
that the case was one of pure roguery, alter liie
fashion of contractors, and that no consideration of
anything except his own pc:ke;., ooterci.! i;-,io the
business. Tho war has demonstrated our superiority over the rebels in at least one thing—our-
contractors are infinitely more rascally than theirs.'
TI»e New Hit)el Steamer "No. 800."
According to the following statement, furnished by lhe London correspondent ofthe Dublin
Eoening Mail, the new steamer No. 2110, which
has just given the Tuscarora the slip, is an ironclad and a very formidable vessel :
She can steam from sixteen to eighteen knot3
nn hour ; is perfectly seaworthy, for all practical
purposes invulnerable, and will prove to any vessel she may encounter aa formidable au antagonist as our own warrior, the boast of the British
navy. This is the '*No. 290" as to whoso whereabouts Federal cruisers have with reason betrayed
such anxiety. It had beeu known for some time
that a large and powerful iron vesel was constructing at the dockyard of Messrs. Laird, Birkenhead ,- but monsters of the deep nre so much
the order of the day at that establishment tbat no
one troubled hiB bead much about Lhis new production, or cared to remark the thickness of the
plates which were being used.
At the very last moment the Federal authorities seem to have had their suspicions aroused,
for the Tuscarora was dispatched to keep
watch in the neighborhood of the dock where
she lay, and the coast of Ireland was also
strict:y watched. "No. 200," meanwhile, apprized of all that was going on, dropped down the
river quietly one day, and steamed out iuto tho
bay, nominally for her trial trip—with a party of
ladies and musicians on board. Instead, however,
of returning to moorings at Birkenhead, where
she would have been kept in durance vile by tho
Tuscarora, she quietly landed ber passengers,
avoiding Cork, Waterloid, etc.. ia the neighborhood of which she might have heard of something
not al all to her advantage. "No. 200*' steamed
■ound by Londonderry and Donegal, was joined
off the west coast of Ireland by the sieamer which
had previously sailed, having on board the armament intended- for the Ironsides. Had ahe even
met the Tuscarora while still unarmed, it was the
ntentiou of her Captain to try the fortune of war
by running stem on at full speed into her antagonist. It needs no extraordinary discernment to
discover what excitement must be causal at tlio
ther side of the Atlantic by tbe arrival oi ''So.
290."
