THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 10, 1867. MR. MOILEYS DIPLO.3I;ITIC CORRES DENCE FROM VIENNA. 71E GOVERNMENT AND ME 4R 2 IZANS. - On Saturday afternoon a deputation, which pro fessed to be composed mainly of the artisan classes, waited upon Lord Derby and the Chancellor of the Exchequer at the Treasury in Downing-street, to present addresses on behalf of the London and West minster Working Men's Constitutional Association. Among those heading the deputation were Lord Henry Scott, M.P., Mr. G. Cubbitt, M.P., Mr. Surtees, M.P., Captain G. C. Armstrong, Mr. W. IL Smith (the Conservative candidate at the last election for Westminster), Captain F. Petrie, the Rev. Dr. Worthington, and the Rev. W. H. Fox. Mr. W. H. SgITII, as President of the Association, I introduced the deputation, and said the Association ava43 composed entirely of working men, by which class it had been within the last few weeks called into existence from a feeling that there was a necessity for an organisation of this character in order that the working men might be able to testify their con fidence in the constitution under which they lived, and in order that they might exercise those impor tant political rights which the measure of the Go vernment purposed giving them with judgment and discretion, and to the honour and benefit of the State. Mr. BENNETT, who was introduced as the chair man of the Association Committee, and who appeared to be of the respectable artisan class, said he was entitled to thank his lordship and the Government on behalf of a large number of working men for the course adopted by the Government with reference to the Reform question which has of late been agi tating the country. On behalf of the working men he repudiated the claim of the Reform League to re present them, and his experience in the formation of this association had proved to him that there were really thousands of the artisan class who were desir ous of showing that they had no sympathy with the pretensions of the League. On behalf of a meet ing held lately in Westminster he begged to present a copy of resolutions which were then passed by working men, who looked up to the constitution with reverence true and feltthat when they were up holding Conservative Principles they were upholding the cause of the country. The resolutions were as follows That this meeting repudiates the unfounded statements and assertions so industriously promul gated by the professional agitators of the day re specting the political opinions and sentiments of the working classes ; and at the same time affirms that this Association, being established to counteract the baneful teaching of these self-constituted leaders, is deserving of the support of all who desire the continuance in power of her Majesty's present ad visers. That this meeting hereby records its sense of the high administrative power of the present Go vernment, far surpassing that of their predecessors on all questions of home, foreign, and colonial policy. That the thanks of this meeting be given to the Right Hon. Benjamin Disraeli for the zeal, courage, tact, and talent evinced by him in bringing the Reform Bill to its present issue, commanding thereby the unwilling homage of even opponents, and effecting in the face of a vexatious opposition a settlement of that important question." Mr. Huratv and Mr. COTTER, who were also of the artisan class, addressed Lord Derby, and ex pressed the earnest hope that in the future election the working men would show their gratitude to the Government which had enfranchised them, by re turning a good working majority to the House of Commons in favour of Conservative principles. Mr. HENRY HOLLAND assured his lordship and the Chancellor of the Exchequer that the artisan classes of the country appreciated the generosity and noble bearing of her Majesty's Government towards them. After 40 years' experience as a journeyman, and as an employer among the artisan classes, he could affirm that there had been and was a strong national feeling which only awaited the auspicious event of the passing of the Government measure to fully prove itself. The true feeling of the artisan class had not had an opportunity of declaring it self before, and their feelings in favour of the Con stitutional party of the country had been apparently neglected. He travelled much in industrial districts of the country, and he found wherever he went the highest regard for his lordship, and a determination to sustain the Government as a Government having the best interests of the artisan class and the working class generally at heart. He assured the Govern ment that there was a broad distinction to be drawn between the working classes and those who followed in the train of the Reform League, and these agita tors, he could distinctly affirm, did not fairly re present the working classes of the country. He knew, from his own experience, that there were large factories full of men who would not associate with the motley group of the Reform League, and the respectable artisans did not form themselves into the illegal combinations so prevalent among the others. On his own behalf, and on behalf of the respectable artisans of the country, he begged to tender hearty and cordial thanks to the Govern ment for the manner in which the interests of the working classes had been advocated in the House of Commons, and he trusted that at the next election the community generally would show that a work ing Ministry were preferred to a talking one. Mr. SAUNDERS gave an emphatic contradiction to the assertion of the Reform League that that body represented the sentiments of the working men of the country. _ _ _ Mr. HEARN , amid some cheers and laughter, claimed the honour of being a very early disciple of the principles advocated by Mr. Disraeli, and said be had given his support to the right hon. gentleman when he sought the suffrages of the Taunton people many years ago ; in fact, before he had entered into Parliament. The enunciation on that occasion of those principles which, be said, Mr. Disraeli had consistently advocated ever since so invigorated the Conservatives of Taunton that they returned two Conservative members, and this As sociation purposed doing for London what was then done for Taunton. Lord DERBY, who was loudly cheered on rising to speak, said—l am sure you will not for a moment doubt that it is with high satisfaction both the Chancellor of the Exchequer and I have received the deputation which we have the honour of meet ing this day. More especially I personally have to thank you for the justice you have done in your third resolution to the judgment, the tact, the ability, and the *courage which have been displayed by my right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Ex chequer—(cheers)—in the hitherto successful pro gress of a measure which has involved no inconsider able difficulty, and which has been met by no insignificant opposition ; but which, I trust, under his guidance, and under his good judgment, is likely to lead, at a very early period, to a successful set tlement of a most important question for the country. (Great cheering.) For my part I have never doubted that there was among the working classes of this country a deep-seated and widely-spread Conserva tive feeling. The jmisfortune has been that the working classes have been misrepresented by those who assumed to speak in their name, and who, by the use of big words and high-sounding phrases, have created a wrong and false impression of the working classes, and one different from that which I believe to exist. (Cheers.) By this time you have learnt, I hope, that the largest talkers are not the greatest workers. I hope that there is rising up among the public generally the conviction that those who aspire to lead the public mind of this country are to be judged of, not by loud speaking, but by practical working. (Cheers.) We have endeavoured to the utmost of our ability to study the interests of all classes of the community. It has been the object of those who assumed to lead Um Radical party in this country to endeavour to draw broad lines of distinction between different classes--to re present the aristocracy and wealthier classes as in different to the feelin gs o f t h e h um bl er c l asses o f t h e community----and to represent the humbler classes as hostile to the aristocracy, as being oppressed and groaning under the tyranny of their oppressive burdens ; whereas I believe entirely the contrary to be the case. (Loud cheers.) In my own county I have had much experience of the working classes, and I believe that the working classes and the upper classes arc as closely identified in interest and in sympathy with each other as any other c l asses o f the community. (Cheers.) I believe the is as much real Conservative feeling, as much respect for property, as much respect for education and for social position among the humbler of the working classes as among that middle class which, until lately, have to a great extent monopolised and absorbed the political power in this country. (Cheers.) We are not afraid of the body of the working class, and we have endeavoured to show by the measure we have introduced into the House of Com mons that we are not so afraid—that we do not think it right to measure a man's political duty by the amount of rent he may have to pay —(cheers) —but rather by those indications of steadiness and good conduct, frugality, and temperance which are involved in the application of the two main prin ciples of the measure now under discussion —namely, a willingness to bear the burdens of the country at the time they accept its franchises and privileges, and such an amount of permanence of residence as will exclude that migratory population which, what ever may be the amount of rent paid, is the least qualified to express the mind of the country, and for the discharge of important public duties. (Cheers.) I must say it has been unfortunate for all of us that the working classes have been so much misrepresented as they have been, and that apparent apathy among them has led us, however falsely, to believe that the working classes were really repre sented by the leaders of the Radical party. I re joice to see that you are skaking off that apathy. (Cheers.) I rejoice to see that you are not allow ing your silence to be misrepresented, and that, taking a lesson from your opponents, you see the necessity of organization and union, if you desire to have your own views and feelings understood by the country at large. I rejoice in what has been stated, and in what I have witnessed in regard to the growth of Conservative associations of working men, determined to repudiate and cast off from them the stigma thrown upon them by those who assume to represent them, and to protest against the doc trines of those who are endeavouring to draw lines of distinction, and to create ill-feeling between dif ferent classes in the country ; to produce animosity and discord where there should be only friendship and goodwill. lam glad to see that you are deter mined to speak for yourselves, and to show through out the land that your feelings, and views and prin ciples are diametrically the reverse of those which have been falsely attributed to you. (Cheers.) I trust you will go on in this laudable course; that you will not slacken your endeavours in this respect. It is by combinations of;the " work ing men with other classes of the community that a Reforming and, at the same time, a Conservative Government can hope to carry out its plans for the welfare of the country. By your assistance we shall alone hope to be sustained. (Cheers.) The objects we have in view combine the feelings, the sympathies, and the action of all classes of the com munity, and by the union of all classes we seek to promote the harmony and the good feeling of the country at large, and to carry forward those bene ficial measures of Reform which, with the blessings of Providence, and by your assistance, we hope to be able to effect. If it should be necessary to appeal to the country in support of those proceedings— and that it will be so within a short period after the passing of the great changes now contemplated in the representation of the people it is needless to say —we shall trust with hope and confidence that what we have hitherto done in the discharge of our pub lic duty may entitle us to some degree of the confidence and approval of the country, and that appealing to all classes of the community, high, low, and middle, we hope to obtain from them such an amount of support as will enable us to triumph over all opposition, and guide the country safely through all the difficulties which may surround it (Loud cheers.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was also greeted with long-continued cheering. He said, — Although Lord Derby has fully expressed my feel ings on this occasion, I think that it would be most ungracious on my part, as you have honoured me by passing a particular resolution in my favour, if I did not intrude for a moment on your attention. First of all I must express my sincere gratification at having renewed my acquaintance with the gen tleman who referred to oar first meeting 30 years ago at Taunton. He appears :to be yet extremely fresh and vigorous, and I hope he will devote his energies to the good cause in London and West minster with as much success as he has attained in Somersetshire. (A laugh.) There is nothing more important now than that the working classes, aware of the great occasion which is awaiting them for the discharge of the new and high duties which they will be called npoic. tl.vula, by carefully promoting organisations of this kind, be preparing for, performing those duties. The policy whieh my noble friend has made the basis of the Bill now before the House of Commons is, in effect, nothing more than a restoration to the people of their ancient privileges. (Cheers.) When we hear of the alarm of some persons who probably affect more alarm than they feel at the measures which we recommend, we can only remember that they are measures which for a long time were the law of this country, and that under these laws the people of England became the most powerful and the most prosperous community in the world. (Cheers.) I only hope that the new constituencies which we are now creating, and which I hope in a very short time will be completed, will be fully aware of the great occasion which is awaiting them for the exercise of their franchises, and that they will show by the manner in which they exercise those franchises that they are worthy of the con fidence which has been reposed in them. We have no fear of the result. I know that the people of this country are a people devoted to order, and not prone to ingratitude, and that they are proud of the traditions of their ancient and famous country. (Cheers.) From men animated by such feelings no bad results can be feared. But in all matters of this kind there is nothing more valuable than ex ample, and it is well for the working men through out the country that they should feel that the work ing men of this great city, awaiting the performance of the great trust now to be their lot, are showing to their companions and their colleagues throughout the kingdom that it is expected from them that in performing those duties they will show that the Legislature of this country made no mistake in ap pealing with confidence to their patriotism. (Loud cheers. The depu(ation then withdrew. IMPERIAL COMPETITORS.—The superior council of the jury of tho Exhibition has awarded to the Emperor Alexander a grand medal for improvements in the breed of horses in the Russian empire, of which specimens are to be seen in the Park of the Champ de Mars. A similar dis tinction has been conferred on the Emperor Napoleon for the model workman's cottage exhibited by his Majesty. Those. recompenses are the highest honours bestowed by the jury, and less than 50 in all will be distributed. ME. PEABODY'S PORTRAIT OF TIM QUEEN.-- On the 2Gth of April, a communication was addressed to Mr. George Peabody, by Mayor M'Michael and other 'citizens of Philadelphia, requesting that the portrait of Queen Victoria, recently presented to him, might be placed on exhibition in that city, the proceeds to be devoted to charitable objects, under such directions and restrictions as Mr. Peabody might prescribe. Mr. Peabody responded on the 30th tilt. as follows :—" New York, April 30, 1866. Gentlemen,—l beg to acknowledge the receipt of your note yesterday, requesting that I would permit you to take charge of the portrait of her Majesty Queen Victoria, which she has presented to me, and to place it on exhibition in the city of Philadelphia. I am glad to be able to accede to your request, and therefore will now place it in your hands, to exhibit as you think best ; and as you propose that the proceeds be applied to charitable objects,' I beg to say that I believe no distribution of any benefit which might be derived from it could be more pleasing to the kind and benevolent heart of the Queen than that it should leo appropriated toward relief of the suffering and desti tute of the South, awl the remaining half devoted to such charitable purposes in your own city as you may your selves think proper. With this suggestion, gen tl emen, I will place the portrait in your hands, and have it transmitted to you during the present week. It has as yet been seen only by a few of the leading citizens of this city, who had called for the purpose at the house of the friends with whom lam staying. I have no directions to give in regard to its exhibition, as I am sure you will take every precaution in the care of it while it remains in your hands, to secure from the possibility of injury the memento which, aside from its artistic merit and intrinsic value, I must ever prize so highly from the associations with which it is connected. You will, therefore, after exhibition, retain the portrait, subject to my future instructions."—Respect fully and truly, GE9BGE FF.4.13?DY."-'4OO York ails. No. 11. (From the Anglo-American Times.) Mr. Motley expressed his opinions in the clearest ,ateguage, and without the slightest disguise. The _ ... . Letters were written when the war was at its height and party spirit ran strongest, and it is possible that he might now modifysome of his statements, if, with his present knowledge, he had to write these des patches again. Nothing seems to have more an noyed him than the hold obtained by the South on the public opinion of Europe. lie draws a broad line of distinction between the sentiment of the masses, which, though widely disseminated, could . . _ be little beard, and the more influential and loudly _ . . expressed feelings of the privileged classes. In his despatch, August 7, 1861, No. 70, he recurs to the subject of telegraph summaries furnished to Europe of American affairs, compounded and flavoured, as . _ he said, by our enemies, to suit that public opinion. "It is the function of cooks to please the palate of their masters and customers. i have already given you a variety of specimens of the manner in which the events of our war, as they suc- ceed each other, are travestied by the tele graph. I might easily send one hundred more. A century hence•if an antiquary should amuse him- self with collecting from German newspapers a com- plete series of semi-weekly telegrams, he would be amazed at the trivial and grotesque manner in which the history of the great anti-slavery war of America was presented during its continuance to the most philosophical and thoughtful nation of Europe. Therefore it is that I do not urge upon you to pro- vide for the European public, or for regular publi cation at all, the summary for which I most urgently plead. It is for the Legation, not the public, that information is needed. It is my deliberate opinion that a representative of the United States cannot properly discharge his functions or maintain his - - official dignity if he be kept in profound ignorance of passing events at home, when these events are more important than any others in the world. Yet in that ignorance I have existed ever since I have been here. Practically the post has been abolished by the telegraph, and for American affairs there is no telegraph. The choice is between being supplied by Government or remaining in the dark, for the meagre scrap—two lines or so in length—which finds its way twice a week into the local journals of the Continent on the arrival of the steamship at Queenstown is usually a fiction or an enigma. You were very right in saying that the Government is not responsible for telegrams pub lished in Europe dated New York. Any one who knows or cares anything about the matter at all is aware that on the contrary they are concocted by the enemies of the Government. But this is a matter of comparative little consequence. After all, foreign Governments and their agents look to the accredited representatives of the United States to learn the truth, whether that truth be agreeable or distasteful. But the world moves so much faster in these days that there is not time to wait from five to seven days for correct information, and that is the diffe rence at Vienna so far as American news is con cerned, between post and telegraph. Therefore, the representatives should always be informed by the telegraph. You will say that the world ought to be willing to wait, and to make up its mind de liberately upon such great events as those now transacting on our Continent. But I have been struck with the indifference that prevails, and the very superficial amount of information which suf fices in these regions as to our affairs. Therefore the little seeds sparsely sown upon the rich soil of European prejudice, has ripened into the abun dant harvest which now waves triumphantly all over its surface. It is a prevailing belief in Europe —at which a loyal American who believes in his country, and in humam freedom smiles that our Republic ought to be destroyed, and is destroyed, and that sooner or later we shall acknowledge a truth, which Europe, being wiser than we are, has for a long time known." What Mr. Motley wanted was a summary of facts, semi weekly made up under the Foreign Secretary's eye by some one iu whom he could confide, and despatched from Washington in the rcgular steamers. If anything of grave importance occurred on the day of the steamer touching at Halifax it might be conveyed in a separate telegram marked " official." Where that word was not added it would be inferred that the writer believed the statement, but did not vouch for it. The Minister at a foreign Crirtrk o. Tcovlrf of ennh AnaQwioLco would have possessed an immense advantage during those days when the air was heavy with lying rumours. It is much to be regretted that Mr. Mot ley's scheme was not generally and early adopted by Mr. Seward, as it might have been the means of dis seminating through Europe a clearer information, checking the aid tendered to the Confederates in money and material, thereby shortening a war of which every day's continuance was a useless and lamentable national misfortune even more destruc tive to the South than to the North. Scarcely less important was the morale involved. The manner in which Europe, more especially England, was de luded by untruthful telegraph summaries exercised a pernicious influence, the effects of which are still felt. They created and kept alive a sympathy with the South which has been bitterly resented by the United States, and it is probable that Fenianism has in a large measure been the consequence of this feeling. " You must remember," Mr. Motley says, " the immense advantage which the recipient will have in knowing that what he reads is sent sincerely for his instruction ; that it is only sent in the in terest of truth ; that it is intended neither to ex tenuate facts nor to set them down in malice; nor to invent success, nor to suppress disaster ; not to affect the market price either of Confederate Loans or United States Bonds ; not', to favour the views of European stock-jobbers or Parliamentary stump orators ; but simply to enable the Represen tatives of a great and much calumniated nation to do their duty undisturbed by the machinations of its enemies. You can have no idea of the effect, both irritating and paralysing, produced on even the most robust organisation by the manner in which all the information of the great events in which we are all so deeply interested is thus poisoned at its source. Were I rich enough, so important do I consider fresh intelligence that I would employ a private friend to send me such a telegraphic letter twice a week so long as I occupied an official position abroad." Mr. Motley writes in strong terms of praise, not only of the attitude taken towards his country by the Government of Austria, but also of the per sonal feelings of the Emperor. In his despatch, No. 87, dated Feb. 13, 1865, he says. "W e have not often been brought into actual contact with the Government on exciting questions, but its attitude towards us has been uniformly loyal, frank, and unequivocal. The sovereign has, on more than one occasion, done me the honour to express in energetic language his admiration of the steadiness, the courage, and the vast resources by which the United States Government had main tained its authority and his sympathy with our military successes ; and certainly not a word has ever emanated from the Imperial Royal Foreign Office, or from any statesman or public speaker that could offend the dignity or wound the suscep tibility of the American people, engaged as it is in a life- a ish n e d a. -ad e yh a so t , n h ei c sn o t ndhteei desire, t rdc w e, i s t lp h at t th h ci h e n k d N, e mo. botho n 8 o Bo f l t a ,h, v e e hip r yea Here ' et ' theree in of the Government and of a majority of the popu lation, that the insurrection should be suppressed, slavery abolished, and the Union restored. It is not necessary on this occasion to analyse very closely these sentiments ; but there is a feeling that the growth of the United States, in power and prosperity, is not necessarily a misfortune for the Austrian Empire ; and there is also a general con viction that the United States Government repre sents law, order, and civilisation, while the slave holders' rebellion means barbarism and anarchy." Again, in his despatch 92, the following is recorded: —"ln regard to the attitude of this Government to wards the United States and of the general tone of public opinion in this empire, I have only to repeat what has so often been my pleasure to state, that nothing could be more frank and highruinded than they have been from the beginning. Now that the hours of our trial are numbered, and that the Great Republic is seen to be emerging more prosperous and powerful than ever, the feeling towards us has not diminished in cordiality." When the news of the utter collapse of the Con federacy reached Europe, Count Mensdorff greeted the Minister with his hearty felicitations. "You know," he said, " that our wishes have always been for your sucesss, and that his Majesty has always frankly desired the suppression of rebellion." One point which must strike the most superficial reader of these despatches is this : —Mr. Motley in variably wrote of the War as one for slavery on the one side, and freedom on the other. The taunt in England has been that the North fought for em pire, but this is most strongly repudiated, and the end and object as invariably enunciated by this repre sentative of the United States was that the struggle was for the rights on which the Constitution of his country was based, the freedom and happiness of mankind. AN AMERICAN VIEW OF BRI7 ISH ARMY REFOIOL The Nation of the 23d ultimo has an article on Army Reform in England, which shows a better acquaintance with the subject than five-sixths of the newspapers of this country. It says public attention in England begins to be more and more turned to the questions with which a reformed Parliament will be expected to deal, now crop ping up with ominous frequency. It is generally acknowledged that the force is inferior in every ele ment of efficiency—except courage. That the Bri tish army h as acquitted itself as well as it has done is perhaps one of the most wonderful proofs in existence, of the greatqualities of the race. But, as may be expected, its great exploits are actually cited by some of the Tory orators as proofs of the value of the purchase system, just as so many other abuses have been defended by pointing out how the nation has thriven in spite of them. The present military system is confessedly useless for anything but a policy strictly defensive, and contains no provision for the contingency of a sudden difference with a first-class power. Besides which the army has ac quired an importance it never had before from the England's maritime supremacy has dis appearedbefore the recent changes in the instru fmaeetttshoa ft En naval warfare. The kind of army the Liberals want is a middle-class army like the first standing army that existed in England, that of Cromwell, where the ranks were filled up by young farmers, shopkeepers, and mechanics, and the offi cers were men who won their grades, in the ordinary way, by courage or skill, or both. The Nation is under the delusion that the Re- !ormers have succeeded in the present Parliament in reducing the maximum number of lashes, per mitted as a punishment in the army, to fifty, and restricting it to two or three of the worst offences. This was done many years ago, and the fight in the present Parliament was to abolish it altogether. There is neither more nor less reason why it should be abolished in the army than why it should not be abolished in prisons ; and it appears to us a mani fest absurdity that the right should be delegated to magistrates to flog a garotter, but denied to a commanding officer as a means of suppressing brutal assaults on officers and non-commissioned officers, more especially the latter, in the execution of their duty. A few similar acts of personal violence inflicted on the cicizens of London immediately led to the flogging power being conferred, princi pally because one or two of the victims were mem bers of Parliament. " The military and naval force may be said to be the only instrument of government which the aristocracy did not surrender to the middle classes of 1832, and to the possession of it the former doubtless owes a large portion of its prestige. Nothing fairly killed the French aristo cracy but the proofs afforded by the war of the Revolution that hostlers and linen-drapers could command regiments and win battles. Once Soult and Murat and Juuot had been seen chasing the finest troops in Europe from bard-fought fields, the value of the gentilho»une as a soldier—the one thing on which he prided himself—was gone. So there is now in England a kind of superstition, which the upper classes do all they can to foster, that the leading of soldiers is the proper business of " gentlemen," and that there is something in herently absurd in a man of " low connections" attempting such a thing ; and how much the pre valence of this feeling has to do with the political .. 1 „,_„,,y or the drisweraey nas, we tnimr, never been fairly estimated. Once destroy this feeling by showing what a democratic army, even of English men, can do in the field, and the political prestige of birth and rank would receive a blow nothing else could give it, and such, as many people, the late Mr. Cobden amongst the number, have thought it impossible for anything to give it." It must be confessed that no class leads better than the aristocracy of England, and this is readily conceded through all ranks of the British army. The soldiers know this so well, and estimate so highly their gallantry, that they prefer taking every risk of incompetency and blunder to follow the men whose motto is noblesse oblige. Spirit of the American Press. SCIENTIFIC. An exploring patty of more than usual import ance has just left the Atlantic for the Pacific coast to make a survey, under the direction of the United States Government, of a belt of land near to the fortieth parallel of north latitude, stretching from the Sierra Nevada to the Rocky Mountains. Th roug h or near this belt will pass the C en tral Pa as much information as possible respecting the structure g R a t a h i l e r r o a d i n , and the object of the e x pedition is advance of the country, resources, the agricultural ca pacity, and all the other physical characteristics of the region. The ex pedition is s acitoe the mineral o well organised, and there is so little exact knowledge in respect to the district to be examined, that high anticipations are entertained of the scientific and practical results which are likely to be reached. Believing that our readers will be interested in watching the progress of this party of young and e n th us i as ti c ex plorers, w ithin the limits of our ow n d o main, we have ga thered the following Particulars in respect to their org anisation. The surv e y i s or d ere d by Congress ; and, more particularly st ill, it is to be conducted under the direction of the S e cretary of War ; under direction of the chief of the United States Engineers, Major-General A. A. Humphreys, to whom the willty par h -- - 4 report, and from whom they have received their general instructions. This dis tinguished officer, whose name has long been iden tified with the explorations and surveys directed by the War Dep ar t ment of the U n it e d States Govern ment, has sho wn t h e greatest i n t e rest in promoting the objects o f much hhis wi a ll nd be to d h u i: experience and good judgment in fitting out the party Whitney. The head of the party in the field is Clarence King, of its a gentleman of about five-and -twenty years of age, expedition,succes s ' educated in the Sheffield Scientific School of Yale College, and connected for a few years past with Prof. J. D. the State Geological Survey of California . under The experience which he has thus acquired as a mountain explorer admir ably fits him for the leadership in this new expedition. He has travelled extensively among the great mountain regions of the West, has ascended and measured some of the loftiest peaks, is inured to the exposure and hardships of frontier life, and ap preciates fully all the conditions which are essential to success. Dine assistants are under his direction. his friend and assoc i ate i n the California survey, Mr. James T. Gardner, who has lately been engaged with Mr. Kingin surveying and mapping the famous Yo Semite V a ll ey an d the adjacent mountain region, is the first assistant in topography, and Professor James D. Hague, of the Massachu setts Institute of Technology, likewise au experienced traveller, is the first assistant in geology. There are also two other topographers, two other geologists, a zoologist, a botanist, and a photographer. On their arrival in , Calfornia a squad of twenty-three mounted Californians, under non-commissioned officers, will be detailed by the military authorities as their escort, and Six drivers and packers will complete the personnel of the party--a company of thirty-nine in all. By turning to any good map of the Western mountains the reader will see that the proposed line of explo ration extends from the 120th to the 105th meridian, or from Pyramid Lake, near Virginia City, on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada, to Denver City, on the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains. The length of the tract to be explored is about 1,000 miles, its breadth will not exceed 100. The great desert basin of Nevada and Utah and the various parallel ridges and valleys by which it is traversed, including the lofty ridges known as the Eastern and Western Humboldt River Moun tains, and the Wah satch Mountains to the east of Great Salt Lake, will, of course, be included in their observations. The party hope to go this year, between the first of July and the first of November, as far as Fort Riley, and then to spend the winter, which is there too severe for field work, in the neighbourhood of Virginia City. Next year they hope to reach Salt Lake City, and their work out of doors is to be completed in the third year. Of course much addi tional time will elapse before the scientific result of the expedition can be fully published ; but every thing of immediate practical value, especially with reference to the construction of the Central Pacific Railroad, will, as we understand it, at once be made public. An accurate map of the region is the first desideratum, and the necessary surveys will, there fore, be prosecuted as rapidly as may be consistent with accuracy. It is exceedingly important also to ascertain whether coal can be found in that region of such quality and in such quantities as to be depended on for the coming locomotive. The position of water supplies, in that desert basin is another most important topic of inquiry: So also the possibilities of agriculture, need investigation. The geological and mineralogical characteristics of the country will constantly be examined. In short, to examine and describe the geological structure, the geographical conditions, and natural resources of the country will be the aim in view.—The Nation. JEFFERSON DAVIS. The London Times, in quoting an article from these columns (March 30) on " The South and its Leader," refers to it as indicating a certain reaction in the minds of our intelligent classes from the ex treme bitterness with which Mr. Davis had previ- ously been regarded, and as a sign of their disposi tion to judge in a more temperate spirit the mo tives of the great but unsuccessful attempt of which he was the head and front. There can be little doubt but that the protracted and, so far as the public arc permitted Co judge, the unjustifiable confinement of Mr. Davis without a trial, has touched the generosity of the community in a considerable degree, and that numbers who reprobated and still condemn his course, have been moved to indignation by a line of treatment against which the very worst of criminals would have an irrefragible right to protest. We were aware at the time the article referred to was penned that some such action was contemplated as that which has now been carried into effect. We were also aware that the convictions expressed in it would bring us some censure. But we were per suaded that the honour of the country was corn promised by the course which the Government was pursuing, and were satisfied that it was our duty by whatever humble means that lay in our power to urge is to a different one. Opinions as to the nature and extent of Mr. Davis's responsi- bility to the laws or the culpability of his action might reasonably differ ; but there could be no ra tional difference of opinion respecting the legality or the justice of his unexplained and untried imprison ment. In the absence of technical justification we look for extraordinary circumstances touching public safety or the like to find warrant for a course which, in such exceptional cases, may be defensible if not legal. No such circumstances could be found. The present release of the prisoner shows that they could not be found. The trial of Mr. Davis and the subse- fluent carrying. out of his sentence, whatever that might be, would have been a year ago regarded by the public with complacency. The longer he was held untried, the more was public feeling against himself modified by condemnation of the mysterious conduA of the Government. It was thought, and the thought with many grew, as time wore on, into conviction, that the Government through its officets had been placed in a false position, and that it was to shield itself rather than to further the ends of jus tice that the unreasonable postponement was due. As a consequence, the public eye glanced from the pri- RIM AT En thP illtrarn the prisoner, until a widely-felt if not often expressed pursuasion obtained that the imputed guilt of the lat ter was in some measure condoned by the unwarrant - able method of its expiation. Had Mr. Davis been tried by court-martial and shot on his first capture, the bulk of northern opinion would probably have justified such a process, as it could easily have been made to appear that the national safety demanded it, whatever might be said of the letter of the law. But, with delay, passion cooled, and it began to be perceived that Mr. Davis was not an ordinary cri minal, not the leader of a riot, a house-burner, or a murderer taken red-handed, but a political prisoner amenable to different consequences; standing vica riously for many millions of people, whose punishment or acquittal must be morally identical with his own ; and in the opinion of many even in the Northern States, defensible even by the strictest construction of the Constitution he was charged with violating. It is now felt by the sober and reflecting that, both with regard to justice and to ultimate cordial reconciliation of the lately con tending sections, it was a most fortunate circum stance for the whole country that the Confederate chief escaped the fate which many bitter partisans invoked for him ; and we feel confident that when the effect upon the South of his enlargement is fairly tested, it will be acknowledged, putting his rights or wrongs as an individual entirely aside, to have been a salutary thing for the nation. The outcries of lamentation and vituperation with which a part of the press has accompanied the re lease of Mr. Davis and his journey northward are contemptibly womanish and weak ; and the appre hension of his peculiar opponents that Mr. Greeley would gain too much political capital by placing his name on the captive's bail-bond is equally so. It is one of the worst features of our political life that no possible action, however pure, chivalrous, and noble, can be performed by any individual of the least prominence, but that it is straightway be spattered with the foulest of abuse and attributed to the most despicable of motives. It is small wonder that the influence of newspapers should wane when their writers suffer party feeling so completely to overshadow all sense of truth, decency, and genero sity. The criticisms upon the course of Mr. Greeley are of a piece with the slurs directed at those who have dared to show Mr. Davis attention or compassion. Even his counsel, Mr. Charles O'Conor, than whom a purer, and more elevated character does not exist in the community, has not entirely escaped assaults which are disgraceful to those who have made them. 'Why such demonstrations should have been made we are at a lois to conceive. There certainly has been no thing to justify them. It would have been impossible for Mr. Davis and his slender party to have travelled towards Canada—whither hegoes to see his children —more quietly, more unobtrusively, or in a manner better calculated to evince his earnest desire to avoid observation than he has done. But it would really seem as if some of the newspapers wished it other wise, with the hope that the populace might thereby be incited to insult or mob him. All this is so small, so frivolous, and so spiteful, as to be anything but creditable to the community. It is natural that those who have lost friends in the war should have no love for Jefferson Davis, but that is no good reason why they should be instigated to insult him. There are empty hearths at the South as well as the North, and the officers who directed the Federal armies travel through it in every direction without meeting, so far as we have heard, an unkind word or look ; and Southerners are not people to restrain their feelings solely through fear of consequences. Undoubtedly there were dreadful deeds—deeds of barbarism, of spoliation, of wanton cruelty—perpetrated during the war ; but does any dispassionate man really be lieve that they were entirely confined to one side ? and, in any case, if we are to live in fraternal rela tions hereafter; and if the memory of these things is ever to be buried at all, is it not nearly time to LA UNCIIOF THE NATIONAL STEAM NAVIGATIO2. set about it ? We profoundly deprecate the agita- CO.'S SCREW-STEAMER FRANCA', AT LlV.bm tion of these subjects, and sincerely wish that all POOL. among us could have exhibited under recent circum stances a little more generosity and a good deal more dignity.—Round Table. (From a Liverpool Correspondent.) On Tuesday last the magnificent iron screw s team the France, built for the National Steam Navigation Co. by Messrs. Royden and Son, was launched from the yard of the builders in the presence of som e thou sands of spectators. The France is the largest vessel ever built on the Mersey, her tonnage being 3,300, her leogth for measurement is 380 feet, but over all 41 0 feet , or 10 feet longer than the Queen, the largest vessel at present in t he , company's service. Her breadth is 42 feet 6 inches, 39" depth 29 feet. The France has been built of th e very he st material. She has been strengthened by eight water-tile' bulk heads; has three decks, a poop 70 feet in length ; topgallant forecastle for the seamen, GO feet in length, an' amid:thip house giving ample accommodation for the di cers and engineers. The saloon accommodation is for 0 passengers, and will be of a superior order. The decora tions, fittings, and upholstery will be undertaken Messrs. Blain and of Liverpool, and the services 0 plate will be furnished by Messrs. Elkington and ec) ,; The steerage accommodation is admirably devised. AnIP.- light and ventilation have been secured for 1,200 passen gers at least, and in case of sickness there is a roonl and well-ventilated hospital, which will be atten ded to bY a duly qualified surgeon. We should mention that in the boats of this company a medical man with regular diploma is always carried. The figure-head of the France is , massive and extremely elegant and truthful half figure o f the Empress Eugenie. The ship will be brig-rigged' with iron masts and spars and wire rigging ; and she will heye d double topsail yards. The boats are eight in n umber , $13 , 1 include two lifeboats. The windlass is on Emerson Walker's patent, and will be worked by steam. Teo stem winches for loading and discharging cargo, setting of and so forth, are to be supplied by the eminent drtu James Taylor and Co., Britannia Works, Birkenhead. Trotman's patent anchors are to be supplied to the slifP. 11 and fire extinguishing apparatus have been p rovided case of fire breaking out ; indeed, every req uisite for se curing the comfort and convenience of the p aseenger, s v and the safety of the ship and cargo has been scrupulon attended to. The engines will be put on board by the put old-established and highly appreciated firm of James Jack and Co., of the Victoria Engine Works, Sandon They will consist of a pair of direct acting central surfee" condensers, of the collective power of 400 horses, with inch cylinders, cylinders, and having a 45-inch stroke.

Until to-day nothing was ever thought of sacrificing to our country's wrongs. For six months we had worked to capture, but our cause being almost lost, something decisive and great must be done. But its failure was owing to others who did not strike for their country with a heart. I struck boldly and not as the papers say. I walked with a firm step through a thousand of his friends and was stopped, hut pushed on. A colonel was at his side. I shouted " Sic semper !" before I fired. In jumping I broke my leg. I passed all his pickets, and rode 60 miles that night with the bone of my leg tearing the flesh at every jump. I can never repent it, though we hated to kill. Oar country owed all her trouble to him, and God simply made me the in strument of his punishment. The country is not what it was. This forced Union is not what I have loved. I care not what becomes of me. I have no desire to outlive my country. This night, " before the deed," I wrote a long article and left it for one of the editors of the National Intelligencer, in which I fully set forth our reasons for our proceedings. He or the Government Friday, 21.—After being hunted like a dog through swamps and woods, and last night being chased by gunboats till I was forced to return wet, cold, and starving, with every man's hand against me, lam here in despair. And why ? For doing what Brutus was honoured for, what made Tell a hero, and yet I, for striking down a greater tyrant than they ever knew, am looked upon as a common cut-throat. My Action was purer than either of theirs. One hoped to be great, the other had not only his country's but his own wrongs to avenge. I hoped for no gain. I knew no private wrong. I struck for my country, and that at once ;—a country that groaned beneath this tyranny and prayed for this end, and yet now behold the cold hand they extend to me. God cannot pardon me if I have done wrong ; yet I cannot see my wrong, except in serv ing a degenerate people. The little, the very little I left behind to clear my name, the Government will not allow to be printed. So ends all. For my country I have given up all that makes life sweet and holy, brought misery on my family, and am sure there is no pardon in the heaven for me, since man condemns me so. I have only heard of what has been done, except what I did myself, and it fills me with horror. God, try and forgive me, and bless my mother. To-night I will once more try the river, with the intent to cross, though I have a greater desire and almost a mind to return to Washington, and in a measure clear my name, which I feel I can do. Ido not repent the blow I struck. I may before my God, but not to man. I think I have done well, though I am abandoned, with the curse of Cain upon me, when, if the world knew my heart, that one blow would have made me great, though I did not desire greatness. To-night I try to escape these bloodhounds once more. Who, who, can read his fate ? God's will be done. I have too great a soul to die like a criminal. Oh ! may He, may He spare me that, and let me die bravely. I bless the entire world ; have never hated or wronged any one. This last was not a wrong unless God deems it so, and it is with Him to damn or bless me. And for this brave boy with me who often prays. Yes, before and since, with a true and sincere heart. Was it crime in him ? If so, why can he pray the same? Ido not wish to shed a drop of blood, but I must fight the course. 'Tis all that's left me." Upon a piece of paper found in the diary, and supposed to have been torn from it, is written the following "My Dea (piece torn out.) Forgive me, but I have some little pride. I cannot blame you for want of hospitality. You know your own affairs. I was sick, tired with a broken limb and in need of medical advice, and I could not have turned a dog from my door in such a plight. flowerer, you were kind enough to give us something to eat, for which I not only thank you, but on account of the rebuke and manner in which to" (piece torn out) " it is not the substance but the way in which kind ness is extended that makes one happy in the ac ceptance thereof. The sauce to meat is ceremony. Meeting were bare without it. Be kind enough to accept the enclosed five dollars, although hard to spare for what we have received. Most respectfully, your obedient servant." R.11L11 7 .1Y INTELLIGENCE. Among the bills which came before the Mas,ia chusetts Legislature, was one from Senator Alexan der allampden, incorporating the Bennington and North Adams Railroad Company, with a capital of $500,000, and under a suspension of the rules it was passed through its various stages. After hearing a mass of testimony as to the claims of rival companies to the ownership of the Kansas Union Pacific Railroad, the judiciary committee has decided that it is a question for the courts, not for Congress, to settle, and dis missed the whole matter. The lawyers will now have their chance for a hand in. Whatever may be the decision as to ownership of the road, the Government interest in it is secured by a lien upon the road itself. The Lee and New Haven Railroad Corporation at their annual meeting held at Otis on Wednes day, May 23, elected the following directors : J. E. Field, D. B. Fenn, and H. J. Dunham of Stockbridge ; W. H. Hill, of Lenox ; S. Johnson, of Adams ; S. S. Rogers, C. C. Holcomb, and P. C. Baird, of Lee ; J. S. Eldridge, of Canton, Con. ; Edward Crane, of Dorchester ; J. E. Sheffield, of New Haven; William Call and A. Crittenden, of Otis ; S. C. Parsons, Albert Hull, and Oro Burt, of Sandisfield. Otis S. Lyman was chosen clerk and treasurer, J. E. Field was elected president, and W. H. Hill was vice president. There is a pros pect that the road will be built this year. The new freight depot of the Worcester and Nashua Railroad at Worcester is completed and ready for occupancy. The depot is of stone, 400 by 65 feet, cost about $90,000, and is one of the finest structures of the kind in New England. By the recent consolidation of the Franklin and Insulated telegraph companies, the new company (the Franklin) has six lines from Boston to New York and four from the latter city to Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington. The president of the new corporation is T. B. Stearns, of Boston, and the general superintendent, J. G. Smith, formerly of New York. Maine has 573 miles of railroad in operation, and 438 miles in process of construction. The Portland and Rochester railroad voted on Friday, May 24, to accept the loan of $700,000 recently offered by Portland, and to mortgage the road for its security. _ _ The twenty-second annual report of the Northern Railroad gives the receipts of the year as $681,301 and expenses $138,301, net earnings $247,996. The increase in the gross receipts over those of the previous year was $65,573, and in the net income $27,023. The bonded debt of the com pany was reduced $6,000, and the number of pas sengers carried was 149,727. The shareholders of the New York and New Haven railroad held their annual meeting at New haven, on Thursday, at which 44,161 of the 60,000 shares were represented. A movement had been set on foot to put the rcad in entirely new hands, but the old board of directors was triumphantly re elected, and William D. Bishop, of Bridgeport, superintendent of the Naugatuck railroad, was chosen to fill the place in the board made vacant by the death of E. C. Scranton. It is understood that he will also succeed to Dlr. Scranton's place as president. The legislative committee on railroads is busy with the petition of the Air Line road to bridge the Connecticut at Middletown. According to the testimony of the engineers it will cost about $BO,OOO a mile to build and stock the road and about $200,000 to build a low and $500,000 a suspension bridge. The legislative railroad committee will not grant the Norwich and Worcester railroad privilege to build a track from Norwich to New London, but will require the New London Northern road to lay a second track between those places within three years, or stand aside for their rivals. The annual catalogue of the Hartford Theological Institute contains the names of 26 students-2 seniors, 11 middlers, and 13 juniors. The term bills of the institution amount to only $2 per year, and to each indigent student $ lO O a year io given by the American educational society. COUNTRY MARKETS.
