In such delicate circumstances the British minister, who formerly would admit of no means of conciliation at all, offered z.ow to receive for the consideration of his Govern ment any reasonable proposal with a view to facilitate the adjustment of the pending questions ; suggesting the ex pedient of having them submitted to animpartial arbitration. The Imperial Government thought proper not to resolve upon this expedient without previously knowing, whether the arbitration was to include both questions, or only that which concerned the officers of the Forte. view, if possible, to reconcile and satisfy the two factions in Missouri. He had instructions not to interfere with either party, but confine himself to his military duties.

This Company is formed for the purpose of purchasing an extensive and valuable grant of Lead, Copper, Iron Ore, and Slate, en the north side of the noted Cader Idris Mountain, known as the Cyfannedd-fawr, in the parish of Llanegryn, Merionethah.re, North Wales, held under lease for 21 years, at 1-15th Royalty on all minerals (except Iron Ore, at a Royalty of only 4d. per ton). _ The gre -it grant includes numerous lodes of Lead, Zinc, and Co er Iron of the beet quality, and blende with traces of Gold—als . excellent Slate. An adit-level intersects several lodes of Silver-lead, or Galen a. A Copper lode opened upon, gives promise of excellent re sults. An Iron vein runs through the entire grant. An extensive bed of Slate of good cleavage can be worked to great advantage. The Silver-lead, proved by assay, has yielded 40 ounces of silver to the ton of ore. Lead and Cop er from a shaft at the end of the alit have reali ed £32 per ton. The Iron vein is estimated top roduce 61 per cent. of iron. The slate is of superior cuality, and can be cut into pave ment, flooring, chiiiiney pieces, dm The streams of water running through the grant offer great facilities tor work ng, scouring, and cutting the slate. In fact, a Quarry opened upon the property will pay well f or working. The foi egoing facts and the position of the grant, in a rich mineral district, warrant the conclusion that, efficiently worked, the mine is capable of y i e lding returns equal to those Of the most profitable mines in the Principality. The property being advat. tageously situated about halt a mile from the Welsh Coast Rally/ay, from which so iding can be constructed at moderate cost, ant only V miles by t üblic road from the shipping port of Barmonth, affords a facility of transit which gri atly enhances its value. With thtse a vantages, and adequate water power for working machinery, d ress ing ores, &c., the Pirectors , aft er careful investigation, confidently anticipate that los. per share upon the capital of the Company will be sufficient to develope 4he wealth of the mine, and produce profitable re sults without further calls.

The following is the report (or comte rendu) of .he Brazilian Minister for Foreign Affairs, the Marquis of Abrantes, to the Brazilian Parliament, in the present session of the legislature, concern ing the relations of the Imperial Government with that of Great Britain : The grave events which passed in this capital in connec- ion with her Britannic Majesty's legation, on account of the shipwreck of an English barque on the inhospitable and wild coast of Albardao, in June, 1861, as well as of the eon- flict between the police and soave officers of the frigate the Forte, in one of the suburbs of this city, in the June of last year, are public and notorious facts. The first of these questions was one of a very special na- are, and only with time and perseverance could a satisfac- tory result be arrived at upon the same. The authorities of the province of St. Pedro of Rio Grande do Sul had to struggle with immense difficulties in their in- quiries about the crimes said to have been committed at Albardao, consequent on the misfortune of the Prince of 'ales. Robberies had been there committed, and her Britannic Majesty's consul in that province even presumed the craw to have been murdered. This last circumstance was a very grave one; it was ne cessary to ascertain it, as well as the importance and extent of the robberies. This matter engaged at once the utmost solicitude of the Imperial Government before having received any recla mation on the part of her Britannic Majesty's legation. The first orders were given on the 10th August, and the initial note of the legation has the date of October 25. By the inquests and examinations instituted on the corpses that could be found, it was prima facie shown that the inductions which led the British agent to believe the crew to have been the victims of the assassin's dagger did not go beyond mere conjecture. The depredation had happened on a desert shore, far from the immediate action of public authority. . _ Those who had taken part in the plunder had been able to transfer themselves out of the territorial limits of the empire. The scanty inhabitants of these places would not easily lend their aid to the most instant official investigations. The delay, therefore, in the respective proceedings was nothing to be wondered at. Eleven individuals were never theless found implicated criminally. These having fled to the Oriental State it was necessary either to demand their extradition, or to wait for their return to within the limits of the empire, there to answer before the justices of the country. The necessary measures were prosecuted for the purpose, and, by these means, also fulfilling a duty to public morals, satisfaction was offered also to the zeclamations of her Bri tannic Majesty's Government. As to the other matter —the alleged ill-treatment and in sults said to have been committed by a detachment of tho police authorities of the empire upon three officers of the British navy, the Imperial Government could not lend im plicit faith to the mere allegations of the complaining par ties, which were not supported by any other proof, and take no notice of the depositions of those Brazilian agents, cor- roborated by persons entirely strangers to the dispute. These depositions, even if susceptible of being impugned. _ _ . . revealed at least the following fact—that there had existed no intention whatever of insulting the British navy. In this state of the question the exchange of reciprocal explanations might have also terminated in a satisfactory manner the misunderstanding arising from the different ap preciation of the facts, as seen from the respective reports and interrogatories of the interested parties. It was, therefore, with the greatest surprise that the Im perial Government received the notes which the legation of her Britannic Majesty addressed to them, in the name of its Government, on the sth of December ultimo, declaring that they made the Government of his Majesty the Em peror responsible for the proceeding of its authorities in the two cases alluded to ; exacting, as a consequence of this responsibility, not only a pecuniary indemnity, to be ultimately determined, for the losses suffered by the owners of the vessel shipwrecked, and for the total robbery of the cargo thrown ashore, and of the objects belonging to the crew, but also a satisfaction for the dis courteous manner in which the officers of her Britannic Majesty's navy had been treated. Such unexpected proceeding was the more surprising, as the Brazilian Minister in Lr , ndon hod received not the least intimation of the grave difficulties that were going to arise in the relations between the two countries. In such circumstances, and it having been found impos sible to convince her Britannic Majesty's representative at this court of the want of proper grounds for the two claims alluded to, considering the manner of his behaviour in the discussion of these matters, and all hope having been lost of his consenting to reconsider them in order to arrive at an accord satisfactory to the dignity of the two countries the Imperial Government thought that the sole course re maining open to them was to enter directly into explana tions with the Government of her Britannic Majesty by means of our representative in London, suspending in the meantime the effects of the said notes, But this resolution having been taken, and the Imperial Government having communicated it to Mr. Christie, this Minister declared that his notes of the sth of December were already his Government's ultimatum, and that, accord ing to his instructions, in case the demands contained therein were not promptly complied with, he would hand over the affair to the admiral in chief of the English station in this capital. I then had several conferences with her Britannic Majes ty's Minister. I offered him fresh explanations—exposed to him more completely and with grower development the circumstances concerning both questions, adding that even if, admitting to a certain extent the apprehensions and ap preciations (though inexact) manifested in the same ques tions on the part of her Britannic Majesty's authorities, they did not call for such a solution as was sought to be given them by the said notes of the sth December. All my efforts, however, were in vain to avert the incal culable evils that were to result from the resolutions already determined upon. I was, therefore, forced to declare to him, in the name of the Imperial Government, that if, in spite of all I bad re presented to him, the Minister insisted on giving effect to the ultimatum of his Government, the Government of his Majesty the Emperor would have no alternative but—sav- ingabOve all the national dignity —protesting in the most solemn manner against the strange principles thus sought to be established, and perfectly convinced of the justice of their cause—but which they had not the means of uphold ing—to submit to such conditions as might be imposed on them by force, and appealing to the enlightened and im partial judgment of civilised nations. That the Imperial Government would pay the sum de manded by Mr. Christie, or by her Britannic Majesty's Go vernment, as indemnity for the losses and damages result ing from the disaster of the barque Prince f Wales, with out recognising the principle of the responsibility attributed to them, and against which they loudly and categorically protested. But as to the question concerning the officers of the Forte : That the Government did not admit the want of the due attentions to the British navy to have been committed, and however much they deplored the evils that might result from the determinations taken by her Britannic Majesty's Government, they preferred and deemed it more honour able to endure them than to sacrific-. the national dignity and decorate. It was then that, rejecting an y other less prejudicial measure, her Britannic Majesty's minister intimated to the Imperial Government on the 30th that the reprisals were going to commence immediately, and the Brazilian property seized would be retained until the demanded satisfaction should be given. In the conflict upon which the Imperial Government had unfortunately tofind themselves engaged with her Britannic Majesty's legation, they always met with the most decided and most enthusiastic support on the part of all the popu lation. The popular manifestations would have produced very deplorable consequences for the relations between the two countries were it not for the good sense of the Brazilians, and the measures taken at the same time by the Imperial Government. To calm the public mind, the Minister of Agriculture, Commerce, and Public Works had to declare on the 31st at the Bourse (Prowl° Commerci o), that the Imperial Go, With the answer from her Britannic Majesty's legation, that both questions should be submitted to arbitration, the Council of State was consulted, and, in conformity with their opinion, the Imperial Government declared, by a note of Jan. 5, that wishing to avoid that any intention should be attributed to them of opposing any peaceable and honour able means of resolving the pending questions, wishing to contribute to the prompt removal, without infringing on the national. dignity, of the existing difficult situation be tween the Government of his Majesty the Emperor and her Britannic Majesty's legation, they accepted the proposal of arbitration only as to the question concerning the officers of the frigate Forte, so that the arbitrator should pronounce not about the right and duty which the Government has of causing the laws of the country to be executed, but only as to the point whether in the manner of applying those laws any offence had been committed to the British navy. As to the other question, the resolution already taken by note of December 29 was maintained, that of paying under protest the sum that should•be demanded by her Britannic Majesty's Government. . . . But, before all, the Imperial Government required that the reprisals should cease, and the prizes made by the British admiral should be released. Mr. Christie having assented to the agreement on the terms above propounded, and the principal condition necessary for its effect having been fulfilled, the Brazilian minister in London was authorised thus to proceed towards her Britannic Majesty's Government. Her Britannic Majesty having accepted the accord as contained in the notes exchanged at this Court on the sth of January, and fixed at £3,200 the amount that was to be paid for the shipwreck of the Prince of Wales, the requisite payment was effected immediately by the Brazilian repre sentative, with the essential declarations of the accord. His Majesty the Emperor, acknowledging the sentiments of justice and impartiality by which his Majesty the King of the Belgians is distinguished and characterised, proposed this august sovereign for abitrator in the decision of the question relative to the officers of the frigate Forte. This choice was well received by her Britannic Majesty. His Majesty the King of the Belgians accepted with the greatest benevolence the functions of arbitrator, which were offered to him by common accord of the high parties in terested. This affair is still pending, as well as the reclamations which the Government deemed themselves entitled to ad dress to her Britannic Majesty's Government, demanding condign satisfaction for the violation of their territorial sovereignty, as five Brazilian vessels have been captured and detained as prizes within the empire's own waters, on the plea of reprisals, by war ships of the English navy, and also a just indemnity for the prejudices resulting from those captures. INFORMATION RECEIVED SUBSEQUENTLY TO THE CON- FLICT AT THIS COURT. According to the reports received from the president of the province of S. Pedro, of Rio Grande do Sul, the indivi dxals incriminated for the depredations of the English barque Prince of Wales had been found guilty, and the process been sent up in conclusion to the respective law judges. One of the criminals, the most implicated in that de- linquency, who had returned to Albardao, was imme diately arrested, and the Imperial Government forwarded the characteristic desCriptions of the others to the Imperial legation at Monte Viddo, in order to claim from the Oriental Republic the necessary measures for their being apprehended and delivered over to the justices of the empire. These proceedings took place even before the transactions which passed at this Court with her Britannic Majesty's legation were known in that province, it not being oppor tune to acquaint the last with their result. PRESIDENT LINCOLN'S VIEWS. The New York journals of the 13th inst. publish the following report of James Taussing, one of a committee of Germans from Missouri. who waited on President Lincoln to present a series of resolu tions adopted at a meeting held in St. Louis, on the 10th May. " Report of James Taussing, Esq. " Messrs. Emile Pretorius, Theodore Olehausen, R. E. Rombauer, committee, &c. " Gentlemen,—During a professional visit to Washington city, I presented to the President of the United States, in compliance with your instrue tions, a copy of the resolutions adopted in mass meeting at St. Louis, on the 10th of May, 1863, and I requested a reply to the suggestions therein con tained. 4‘ The President, after a careful and loud reading of the whole report of proceedings, saw proper to enter into a conversation of two hours' duration, in the course of which most of the topics embraced in ilitheotchoenr subjects were discussed. conversation is of secondary propose to omit it entirely in this the iamsp o r m e r y s t o a l n u sch t e i a, o r n le s and report, and, avoiding details, to communicate to you remarks made by the rthreessiudbesntta.nce of noteworthy " 1. The President said that it may be a misfor tune for the nation that he was elected President ; but, having been elected by the people, he meant to be President, and to perform his duty according to his best understanding, if he had to die for it. No general will be removed, nor w ill any change in the Cabinet be made, to suit the views or wishes of any particular party, faction, or set of men. General Halleck is not guilty of the charges made against him, most of which arise from misapprehension or ignorance of those who prefer them. " 2. The President said it was a mistake to sup pose that Generals John C. Fremont, B. F. Butler, and F. Sigell, are 'systematically kept out of com mand,' as stated in the fourth resolution; that, on the contrary, he fully appreciated the merits of the generals named; that by their own action they had placed themselves in the positions which they occu pied ; that he was not only willing, but anxious, to place them again in command as soon as he could find spheres of action for them without doing in justice to others, but that at present he had more pegs than holes to put them in.' " 3, As to the want of unity, the President, with- out admitting such to be the case, intimated that each member of the Cabinet was responsible mainly for the manner of conducting the affairs of his parti cular department ; that there was no centralisation of responsibility for the action of the Cabinet any where except in the President himself. "4 The dissensions between Union men in Mis souri are due solely to a factious spirit, which is exceedingly reprehensible. The two parties ought to have their heads knocked together.' Either would rather see the defeat of their adversary than that of Jefferson Davis.' To this spirit of faction is to be ascribed the failure of the Legislature to elect senators and the defeat of the Missouri Aid Bill in Congress, the passage of which the President strongly desired. The President said that the Union men in Missouri are in favour of gradual emancipation. Iu explanation of his views on this subject, the President said that in his speeches he had frequently used as an illustration the case of a man who had an excresence on the back of his neck, the removal of which in one operation would result in the death of the patient, while tinkering it off by degrees' would preserve life altogether. Sorely tempted, I did not reply with illustration of the dog whose tail was amputated by inches, but con- fined myself to arguments. The President announced clearly that, as far as he was at present advised, the Radicals in Missouri had no right to consider themselves the exponents of his views on the sub ject of emancipation in that State. " 6. General Curtiss was not relieved on account of any wrong act, or great mistake, committed by him. The system of provost-marshals, established by him throughout the State, gave rise to violent complaint. "That the President had thought at one time to appoint General Fremont in his place ; that at an other time he had thought of appointing General M'Dowell, whom he characterised as a good and loyal, although very unfortunate, soldier ; and that at last General Schofield was appointed, with a THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. (From the Times' Correspondent.) NEW YORK, June 12. "All is progressing favourably at Vicksburg." " General Grant has no fears for the result of his operations." " The President is in excellent spirits." " Influential members of the Government are of opinion that at no time since the commencement of the war did things look so favourably for the Union cause as now." " General Hooker will speedily make an importaamovemontY Charleston will be-trap tared before the Ist of July." Such are but a few of the sanguine announcements that are daily made by the Northern press to keep up the courage of the people, and lead them to expect victories which Northern generals are unable to achieve. But whenever the President is represented to be in un- usually good spirits, and whenever the "backbone" of the Rebellion is declared to be within an inch of being broken, the very cautious and prudent people who speculate in stocks and gold make up their minds that something wrong has happened—and act accordingly. It is at such times more than any other, that the money-market is perturbed, and Mr. Stanton and the military censors of the tele- graph add to the perturbation by refusing to sanc tion the promulgation of such news from the seat of war as is in their own possession, and which it would be important to the public to know at the earliest moment. Such has been the case during the whole of the week. The perverse multitude, told to expect good tidings, has obstinately ex pected evil; and the town has swarmed with rumours of every kind of calamity to the armies of the Republic, both on the Mississippi and in Virginia. Amid the multitude of such reports— launched one hour and discredited the next—it appears from a variety of corroborative evidence coming in from all quarters that the army of Gen. Lee, fully a hundred thousand strong, supported by an immense cavalry force under Gen. LE. B. Stuart, is on the move towards Winchester and Harper's Ferry. The greatest alarm prevails in Pennsylvania and Washington, and it may perhaps be added with out much or any perversion of the exact and strict fact, that equal hope prevails in Maryland and Bal timore that the Confederate generals will make a suecessful foray, and that not only Baltimore and Washington, but Philadelphia are in danger of ex periencing some of the miseries as well as the pomp and circumstances of war. The Governor of Penn- Sylvania has issued a proclamation, calling upon the people to organise a sufficient force to repel inva- .. _ sion ; and Gen. Conch, who has been assigned by - - the Federal Government to the command of a new military department, with its head-quarters at Chambersbnrg, has called out for the defence of the State all ablebodied male citizens between the ages of 18 and 60, to be organised into regiments of ca valry, infantry, and artillery. This measure shows how imminent the Government considers the danger to be, and what stringent and rapid measures they deem necessary to confront it. The encounter be tween the large body of Federal Cavalry under Gen. Buford, despatched by Gen. Hooker to surprise Gen. Stuart, reported to be at the head of at least 12,000 well-trained Confederate horsemen, has served no other purpose than to prove the strength of this arm of the Confederate service, and to delay for a day or two the departure of that dashing and hi therto successful cavalier into the rich and as yet untroubled granaries of the prosperous State of Pennsylvania. Whatever direction he may take, it is certain that stirring achievements on the one side or the other will mark his progress ; and that a "raid" on a scale of such magnitude will take rank among the most romantic, if non among the decisive events of the war. No one is surprised at the enthusiasm and unani mity of the great Democratic Convention at Colum bus, in Ohio, by which Mr. Vallandigham was nominated without a dissentient whisper as the Democratic candidate for the Governorship of Ohio. Blundering General Burnside and equally blunder ing Mr. Lincoln have, by their unwise persecution, converted the most eloquent and fearless opponent of their policy into the most prominent and power ful man in the West, and brought the question of State rights and Federal assumptions to a practical issue, of which it is not easy to overrate the im portance in the future history of the North. If any Republican candidate should be nominated in oppo sition to Mr. Vallandigham, the smallness of his minority will only serve to bring into greater relief the popularity of the Democratic candidate and the determination of the Western Democrats, whatever may be their opinions upon the policy or the con duct of the war, to suffer no infringement upon the right of free speech and free printing within their boundaries. Almost as significant as the nomina tion of Mr. Vallandigham for Governor was that of Mr. Pugh, an ex-member of Congress, for Lieut.- Governor. Mr. Pugh had no intention of becoming a candidate, but he made a speech so thoroughly in unison with the feelings of the immense assemblage that he was unanimously nominated for the office, and somewhat reluctantly consented to stand. " We cannot," said Mr. P igh, " agree on terms of peace or anything else unless we have freedom of discussion. We cannot undertake to decide for peace or war until we can achieve our own liber ties. When the military power tells me or Mr. Vallandigham that we cannot speak, it is a farce to speak of a free Government. A man can die but once, and it is glorious to pay the penalty of life in defence of liberty. I spurn Burnside's Order No. 38. I trample it under foot. Come what will—imprisonment, exile, or death—l defy the military power and its minions." Upon the strength of these and other expressions, Mr. Pugh was nominated. Upon the strength of them he will assuredly be elected, even if the Government be mad enough in his case to repeat the error committed in that of Mr. Vallandigham. Should the Governor himself be unable to make his way to New York or Canada, or other wise escape from Northern territory, upon Mr. Pugh, as Lieutenant-Governor, will de volve all the duties of chief magistrate of the Sove reign State of Ohio, and commander of its Militia. Should any conflict of jurisdiction occur, he may have it in his power to mete out to Gen. Burnside the measure meted out to Mr. Vallandigham, and to commence a very startling chapter in the great book of American liberty. Will Mr. Lincoln under the circumstances annul the sentence upon Mr. Vallan digham, and allow him to go home ? Yes ; if he he ordinarily wise and prudent—but not otherwise. It is not often that anything is heard of the pri vate opinions—or what may be called the "inner life"—of the President—unless the workings of the.t simple but singular mind may be traced through the application of the last well-worn story, or the fresher Western joke tha t he has narrated, to point the moral of public events or rid himself of an im pertinent or importunate questioner. A few facts, however, were divulged yesterday in the Church of the Puritans, and to-day in a statement published for the behoof of the Germans of the State of Mis souri, that throw considerable light upon the present aspect of affairs, and upon Mr. Lincoln's personal share in the perplexities of the hour. At the meeting at Dr. Cheever's church, held on Thurs day, to take measures for advancing the enlistment of au army of 10,000 negroes, to be commanded by work and give it effect, on account of his pcculiari• ties and those of the coloured peor le." Displaying a map, i❑ which the dark parts represented these portions of the Southern States which were most largely inhabited by coloured people, Mr. Lincoln drew the attention of the committee to the country around Vicksburg, and remarked " that he hoped for co-operation from the negroes to take Vicks burg and to bold it." Mr. Chase, who was present at the interview, never spoke, but Mr. C. Sumner, who manifested great interest in the proceedings, expressel his belief " that the greatest name to to written in the itibtory of the war was to be written by the hand of that man who should organise the coloured people into an army for their own delive rance and the restoration of the Union." The dcpu• ation withdrew, with the impression that lkir.Lin. coin desired to see Gen. Fremont at the head of the black army, but could not, for personal reasons offer him the appointment ; and that he would be grateful if Gen. Fremont would solve the difficulty by volunteering his services. The second glimpse afforded into the workings of Mr. Lincoln's mind is suggestive of the source of the perils that beset the country and that must continue to beset it as long as he remains in power. A German gentleman named Taussig, who had been deputed during a pro fessional visit to Washington to present to the Pre sident a copy of the resolutions adopted at a mass meeting in St. Louis, on the 10th of May last, tells the story. Mr. Taussig having been admitted and stated his business, the President read the resolu- tions in a loud voice. When he had concluded he entered into a voluntary discussion, which lasted two hours, on the various subjects which had been thus brought under his notice. Mr. Taussig on leaving the White House wrote down from memory the substance of what Mr. Lincoln said, and pub lished it in one of the newspapers of St. Louis. The chief points in the curious document are that Mr. Lincoln admitted that it might be a misfortune for the nation that he was elected President, but that having been elected he meant to be President, and to act as such, even if he had to die for it; that he would not remove any Generals or make any changes in his Cabinet to suit the views or wishes of any particular party, or faction, or set of men ; that General Halleck was unjustly accused by public opinion ; that Generals Fremont, Butler, and Siegel were not systematically kept out of command ; that they had placed themselves where they were by their own action, and that he was willing to employ them again, but that at present he had more pegs than holes to put the pegs into. He refused to admit that there was a want of unity in the Cabinet, though he confessed that each Secretary was only responsible for the good administration of his own deparment, and that there was no cen tralisation of responsibility except in the President himself. With regard to the state of affairs in Missouri, consequent mainly upon the Proclamation of Emancipation, and to dissensions which it had created among the Unionists, the President dec'ared that both parties were wrong, " and ought to have their heads knocked together ;" that each of them would rather see the defeat of the other than that of Jefferson Davis; and that those among them who were in favour of the gradual emancipation of the slaves more nearly represented his views than those who insisted apon their immediate manumission. At the close of the interview the President re - marked that there was evidently a serious misunder standing springing up between himself and the Germans of Missouri, which he would like to see removed. It appears from these admissions that Mr. Lincoln has great confidence in himself, and almost equal confidence iu his Ministers; and that nothing less than some great and overwhelming calamity to the national arms willcause him to yield to public opinion in the matter of any Minister now in office, or any General now in command, "fight ing Joe Hooker" included. The working classes in this city, as far as any jndgment can be formed of their opinions by their presence in large numbers at meetings in favour of peace, by their patronage of journals opposed to the Administration, by their conversation among each other at places of public resort, or by the chance remarks which they let fall in the presence of their employers and others, are strongly opposed to the war. Though led away, like the majority, in the burst of passion that followed the bombardment of Fort Sumter, they gradually lost their interest in the war as it proceeded. The first cold fit that came upon their enthusiasm was caused by the President's Proclamation of Emancipation, for the working classes, as a body, are not Abolitionists, and the Irish more particularly are notoriously opposed to the competition of negroes with white labour. The second refrigerant of their zeal, more effectual than the first, was the depreciation of the currency caused by the enormous issues of paper money, and the simultaneous rise in the price of food and all the necessaries of life. The last and, perhaps, the sorest trial of their patience with a war which they have ceased to approve or to hope any good from, is the threatened conscription. The abolition question was more or less a sentimental one, but the questions of the currency and the conscription are practical. They appeal to the pocket and person, and under their combined influences the working classes of this city have wrought themselves into a state of discontent which the Government will do well to study if it wish to prevent mischief. Hitherto labour, in con sequence of the scarcity of workmen, has been so well paid that the working man's paradise, if any where on the face of the world, was to be found in the United States. With provisions at only half of the British and European prices, and wages at a rate double at the very least, and in some instance treble that of the Old World, the working man found his position not only comfortable, but highly prosperous, inasmuch as he could live well and save one-half of his income. The war, however, has effected a change. It reduced, through the agency of Mr. Chase's superabundant greenbacks, the value of the dollar to about 60 cents, while at the same time it sent up the price of provisions and other articles of prime necessity to the extent of 20 or 30 per cent. ; virtu ally reducing the working man's income to less than one-half of what it used to be in the ancient days of peace and prosperity when James Buchanan was President. As there was in no trade any rise in wages in consequence of the enhanced cost of living, and no disposition on the part of the " bosses" (a s employers here are called, to avoid the use of the un welcome word " master," which goes against stomach of a free and enlightened citizen) to rais• the wages to a point at which the labourers could live as comfortably as before, a series of strikes has c i it icle taken [ lace in almost every trade in shi t p he builders, F. rs, The stevedores, e e s t e vedores, the longz=hore-men, the ship painters, the ship joiners, the house carpenters, the sawyers, the builders, the painters, the tailors, the shoemakers, the hatters, the compositors, the pressmen, the pianoforte makers, the scavengers, and several others are mow on strike for au advance of wages. The ship painters demand 21, dols. per diem, instead of 1 1 The longshore-men, or dock labourers, demand 25c. an hour for 11 hours per diem, or 2 dole. a day, with 50c. an hour for extra work after 6 o'clock in the evening ; and all the other trades make corresponding'.demands upon the "bosses," which they justify by the assertion that the price of food is so high in depreciated dollars that they cannot support themselves at the ancient N E WS PAPER K. 5 re ,V 7 711; ~,, •"-z- e -'''.---- -' 7 --,;lseeie rates, and are reduced to the Euro _ tki, , ltiplke' i 's unable to lay by a shilling for a rainy elfgseatihkk& instances the masters have yielded to t'Ut** : ',.e -90 1 the men, in others they hsve resisted anliiitbAiiral resist,more especial ly the contractors for the A r am:ll3Z s of the streets. The consequence is that the fiitL:y garbage of the city, exposed in barrels upon the foot pavements for the contractors to clear away, has been left untouched for nearly ten days, seething: and simmering in the rays of the hot sun, and emit ting such foul odours as compel the unhappy way farer to hold his nose as he passes, and deprecate in silent prayer the pestilence which is but too likely to flow from the dense malaria that reeks on every side. The prices of provisions and necessaries are calculated by the retail dealers at a far higher rate of increase :.hag thet which would be warranted by the rise in gold. Three months ego gold seas at a premium of 73 per cent., and it now stands at 42 a difference of 34 per cent., but the upward start iu prices, taken at the high rate of gold, has maintained itself at the lower, so that the poor labourer suffers a double loss. Every night meetings of the ,vorkiep: men are held to debate the conditions which labour is to o:ictate to capital in a country where labour is so scerce as to be virtually the " boss" of the " bosses ;" and every night an attempt of scene kind or other is made on the part of tile employers to give the meetings a political character, with the view of defeating or weakening their original pur pose. But, as a rule, the men are too earnestly alive to their own interests to allow themselves to be diverted from the business which they have most at heart, and persist in ignoring all party speeches and party issues. It is asserted, however, that the orga ,r,Littion,was commenced, and re ;0 3614 ' - &nib ft-of'airthetradea it* iniittitit pthr . etithr agai I, a the lowering of wages, has another and equally im portant object—that of resistance to the conscrip tion. This charge is not easily proved. It may bo utterly unfounded, or it may be quite true; but en the latter supposition it is not likely that the pro moters will suffer the facts to become public with out strenuous denial. The probabilities are, how ever, that some such action of the working classes is meditated, or has already commenced ; and that, in -~::.:~: the present temper of the Democratic party through out the State as well as city of New York, the Government will not force the question to an un pleasant issue, by insisting upon a draft that might be violently resisted. Already, in other parts of the Union, the prelimi nary enrolment of the names of citizens liable to military duty under the Conscription Act has led to breaches of the peace, and in Indiana to the assassination of the enrolling officer and his assistant. Under these circumstances, the voluntary enlistment of the black population and the manner in which the negroes behave in the battle- field become questions of the highest political in:portance. Mr. Lincoln and his principal advisers seem as if they despaired of any further white aid for the conquest of the South, and the white labouring classes, in their de testation of the conscription, favour the black en- lis'ment as greatly as the President himself, for the selfish reason that the more numerous the negro armies the less likelihood there will be of any further drain upon the blood of the whites. As yet the negroes have had but three opportunities of showing their military prowess in the field, or their military obedience in circumstances of danger—first, in Florida, under Col. Higginsou ; secondly, at Port Hudson, under General Banks ; and lastly, at Poca taglio, under Colonel Montgomery. On the first occasion, under Colonel Higginson, when the das tardly white regiments set fire to the beautiful city of Jacksonville and destroyed the churches and chapels for mete wantonness of mischief, and the private houses of the citizens for the purposes of plunder, the negroes took no part in the outrages, but loudly expressed their disapproval and disgust. At Port Hudson, under General Banks, they were led against the enemy's work and purposely placed in a post of danger. They fought with the most de termined bravery, and were met with the most deter mined resistance. Out of a regiment of 000, 600 were stain. Gen. Banks reports of them that " they an swered every expectation, and that in many respects their conduct was heroic. They made during 11:o day three charges upon the batteries, suffering very heavy losses, and holding their positions at nightfall with the other troops on the right of the lines. Whatever doubts may have heretofore existed, the history of this day proves that the Government will find in this class of troops effective supporters and defenders. They require only good officers, com mands of limited numbers, and careful discipline to make them excellent soldiers." General Banks is a cautious man, wbo makes few, if any, mistakes, and praise from him must be held to be well deserved, wherever it may happen to fall. The third and most recent achievement of the negroes is the occu pation of the railway bridge at Pocatiligo—between Charleston and Savannah—an important military point, the capture of which cuts off the communica tion between those two cities. It appears to have been effected with so little difficulty as to lead to the supposition that such large reinforcements have been sent from both places to Vicksburg and Port Hudson as to have left them without adequate de fence against a surprise of this kind. It is so mani festly impossible that the Confederates can allow this position to be held without an attampt to dis lodge the captors—whether black or white—that stirring events may immediately be looked for in that quarter. In accordance with the avowed policy and determination of the South, every negro cap tured in arms will be hung. If the threat be exe cuted, will Mr. Lincoln and his Government—who have officially proclaimed that a black soldier in their uniform is as good as a white, and has the same rights as a prisoner of war—retaliate by the execution of a corresponding number of white pri soners? They have solemnly and repeatedly de clared that they will do so. if they do, the war on both sides will degenerate into one of unmitigated barbarity and ferocity, and outraged Christendom will be called on to interfere in the desecrated names of religion and civilisation. Whatever may happen, it will be remembered to the eternal shame of the Federal Government that it set the first example of this odious warfare, and that it deliberately strove to excite the slaves to murder their masters. On the 3d of this month, nine days ago, this same Colonel Montgomery, , the hero of Pocatiligo, and one of the' rowdy' officers, first brought into notoriety b y the border atrocities of Kansas, led his black troops up the Coosaw River, in South Carolina, in several steamers, to proclaim freedom to the slaves. Landing his m en without opposition --for them were none to oppose him—he proceeded to the nearest plantations, an d . made what he calls " a successful haul" of u p wards of a thousand able-bodied negroes, for the recruit ment of the Federal armies. The Abolitionist journals of the North applaud the act ; but they sa y nothing of the shameful episodes of the main negroesliing story. Colonel Montgomery and his Vir e h burnt s to the ground upwards of 40 private dwelling-houses belonging to planters —many of which were in habited by women and children only, the owners having gone to the war. he loaded his steamers with pianofortes, bedding chairs tables books and looking-glasses, and an , rs, quantity of household " furniture," and y o the darkness of the night, only illuminated by the blazing ruins that his incendiary torches had left on every side, em barked his recruits and his plunder, thinking, perhaps that he had done his little best towards r estorationof the Union.
