Correspondence Of Tie n. y Triburs
FoRrEEss MONROE July 81, 1861.
Can bear witness the good of your patriotic and
generous supply of TRIsUSEs TO State troops. Each
regiment has it's courier ne Ia po who daily receives
about bsrrelfnl Of letters, and dstFbutesthem But
before the mssives from home are opened, your col
nmns scanned and the boys swear by your ideas Of
The campaign. TO of;he residents OF this vicinity
who have taken the oath and been granted protection
by Gen. Butler il 10 be attributed the murder of the
Quarieimasttrsergesnt Of the Vermont st Others Of
them are now enlisted under COL AagrudeT 20 our GER
ssiD knowledgei while Others having been nisng for
weeks are justly supposed TO have Joined the Rebels
Although Gen. Butler has threatened decimatetbe9 ooh
unless their plagiDg is discontinued am convicted
shat the triiIg amount Of page that occurred in the
village Of Hampton, while occupied by our 10th under
Co Weber, 10 attributable TO tine blacks and not 10 his
command. The number OF colorcd refugees in the de-
serted houfes of Hampton never correctly e.t
mated until Webers command withdrew from if, when
come two thousand ex.slayes, each with Lis rack
hoeked down the road toward the Fortress II is not
surprising that many trinkeis lying unclaimed, and
adapted to the immediate wants aud comforts Of hese
fngitives, were taken Possession of by them.
Some Of the Caicefsof regiments recently ordered
90 Warrington via Baltimore, were allowed to take
with them their servants upon ping for them 70
General Butler, and agreeing TO return them or pay
their value 10 the government on demand These SER
wants were receiving Tay, and acted Voluntarily in en-.
Eaging their own services. How long must tis idea
that tho "dear South lie 10 De protected in lis peculiar
institution, against The genis of american institutions
be Perpetaatedi How long mus, The Republic be con-
stitGted By the action of its generals commanding De-
partinen;s qe1s save-Lolder saye-sgent and slave
srsderf How much more free blood must vet be shed
to wash out the terrible relic Of ba1bars,n thar bots our
eountFys escutcbeonf As Slavery IL seen, the wide
world over 70 be both the remote and the immediate
eause OF our civil war; why not remove The cause of
war by removing Slavery TO my hurubie judgment
a seems thar this question could be easily AID happily
eeA; with b. every general by adopting rEie which
would be sustained by every principle of natural IaT,
70 wit: that that the owners title 10 his slave e ex
fnguished by couscaion and as no one else has any
le therefore the man free. In the recent expedi
ion 10 Back River the gallant Captain White did not
'sye TO give receipt for every boat and vessel of the
nemy that be burned. Then why should we be
bhged to give receipt for an owners title 10 eaye
whenever one voluntarily joins us When we take off
% kf goves and go at the rebels they come at us
'en We msy hope 70 fuDdue them, and not ill then.
