WAsHEsToE, Aug. 4, 1861.
Have you read that last letter from Gen.
Ben. Butler to the Secretary of War; If
not then get it, read it, publish it, and
send 1t broadcast through the land as the
words of an honest man and good soldier,
who knows what sort Of sn enemy this
Government has now to grapple, and what
is the chief support and aid that enemy
possesses. He knows that although this
war was not entered upon by the Govern
nent and the loyal people, because Of sla7
cry, yet that having entered into it, and
having that issue forced upon them. they
can do no less than meet 1t boldly. His
reasoning is that of one who knows he is
right, and yet, for what he has written.
he would be denounced by certain timid
prints as . fsnatical abolitionist, if it was
not indisputable that he was last year one
Of the most active pro.slavery Breckin-
ridge Democrats. But what he has been
in the past we care not; he has shown
that he realizes the present and the future.
and that is enough Let us honor his
sound common sense and his fearless ut
tsrance Of the truths which he believes.
In the midst Of the aceusstione which
have been brought against Secretary Cam
eron, let this be remembered, that he has
repealed the order issued by Gen. Nc
DoWel to the effect that no persons hither-
to held as slaves, but who seek the protec-
ton Of the loyal army should be received |
unless it was clear that they had been en-
ployed against the Government Secretary
Cameron has decided that they shall be re
oeived, and so the question is settled. Pro- |
slavery Northerners may grumble that this |
is no war Of or for emancipation, but if |
they cannot see the policy and the military
necessity for using the strong arm of gov
erDment to defeat the rebOle with their /
most powerful auxiliary, then they are wo
fully blind. If slaves are property, we i
have sn equal right to take possession Of |
them as if they we're horses that drew the
rebels artillery wagons; if they are not |
property, then their professed masters have
no ownership in them and no right to hold
them.
Talking with Senator Doolittle this af-
ternoon, be gave the whole matter in SEN
tence. Said he, " This is Gods war, and it
Is q erest deal easier to fight with him than
against him" The experiences Of the last
few weeks have opened the eyes of the
American people as they were never open
ed before. s. u. Z.

The YalIandishammers.

Messrs. Breckinridge and Vallandigham
cried their reasonable doctrines yesterday
in Baltimore, completely unnasking them
selves. The Vallandigham organ in this
city, not having been well trained, OWN g
to the shOrtness Of time afforded the mas
tsrs in which to perform the Whipping-i in
, process, kicked over the traces, and re-
fused to 90 the figure, swearing it would
not follow the atail Of the secession kite
One thing ia certain. Gray has sold him
self to the Yallandighammers, and he mus
either follow or lead.

As they so quickly by,
But Of all who ride so swiftly,
Not human form spy.
Yet know that they are going
Ger the river, where those dwell,
Whom love with deep affection,
More than words can ever tell.
OIL wish that were with them,
For l love the engines roar,
Like the waves of ocean dashing,
Dashiug gainst the rocky shore,
But there is anotAer night train,
NOiselessly it bears away
Those we love, and fondly cherish,
To the realms of endless day.
All unseen by mortal vision
Is this upward train of light,
For the employees are angels,
Clothed in robes of spotless white.
By and by I'll take this night train,
(When the Great Creator saith)
They viii bear me safely upward,
In the sleeping car Of Death.
Then how sweet will be the union
With the loved ones gone before,
Those whose love has ever cheered us
Upward to the {" shining shore

CLEVELAND MONDAY MORNING, AUGUST -, 1861
FROM WASHINGTON.


The Times correspondence says: e a
The refusal Of the Democrats Of the State
Of New York to unite with the Republicans
in the nomination and election Of ticket
causes some surprise here, as II seems to
conflict with what was supposed to be q
plan pre- arranged here at Washington, and
which had for its purpose the disintegra.
tiOn of the Republican party. ,.f
The same idea Of q Union ticket was
broached in Ohio, and has been there re-
jected. These two condolences, it is said
among politicians, will cause now the en-
tire dissolution of the Democratic party.

In the Portage ConnIv nomoo.o,i. ~

In the Portage County Democratic Con-
Vention, the other day, Vallandigham Sc
cessiOnist complained that q the Republi-
cans had no respect for Douglas, and paid
no attention to him while he was living"
A Union Democrat replied: ''That although
none who opposed Douglas paid any re-
sPeat to him while he was living, he thought
at least Democrats, in crisis like this,
might heed his voice, coming from the
grave" That was before the meeting of
the Columbus Convention. That body have
shown that the followers Of Douglas living
are not the followers of Douglas dead, so
far as the politicians are concerned; but
the masses will not forget the patriotic
lessons taught them by the great states
man in che eve Of his eventful lie.

The Army Worm.


The following description Of the army
worm and its raEsges, which We copy from
the Canton Repository, viii be Of interest
: and value to formers and hOrticulturists;
This pest has within few days visited
for the first time within the recollection Of
the Oldest inhabitants this section Of coun-
try. They make their appearance in
single night, and 8 day after getting on
their march, they destroy everything green,
snd cover acres Of land. They attack even
corn. Il is said the only way to destroy
them is digging ditch, or ploWing deep
furroW, and occasionally laying straw in
the ditch, and when favorable opportun-
ity occurs, burn them all together.
They appeared simultaneously, ss we
learn by our exchanges, ct New Philadel-
phia, Wooster, sandusky City, Cleveland,
and Lorain county Of this State; also at
Green Bay, Wisconsin, and at Fall River
and other places in Rhode Island.
Under the name Of Army Worm, several
allied species Of insects are probably
classed. The descriptions We have seen Of
the caterpi lar vary, and besides, Of NUM-
her Of specimens examined, ct least two
we're distinct. There seems to be good
deal of error in the popular idea concern
inc these worms. They are merely the
Young or growing state Of moth belong
Inc 10 the Noetatdoe very large family Of
me JSDidopterG. To the same family be-
} sano the cut.Worms the moths Of whom are
onr most common visiters, entering houses
and fvine around the lamps in the sum
msr niebts. The caterpillaFs, Of the Aoct-
.;dos are generally smooth and feshyy with
a variable number Of legs, the variation
being in the number Of abdominal prolegs

TSs the cut.worms, they do not enter the
GROUND. unless for the purpose Of undergo
nc their transformations. Little atten'
ton has been paid By naturalists 70 the
Srmv worms; the moths have doubtless
bson desofIbed and named by Gnence Of
Doubledsv; but their works are not easily
obtsined by American Etomologists in thu
west There are doubtless two broods Il
tbe season, perhaps more. All the insects
Of this family appear to be governed p
psculiar laws, Sometimes 3 species Vil
almost disappear, and the next year. o
Ister. suddenly appear in myriads.

BI@The Independent, fanatieal and
pestilent sheet published by a clique of abb
olitionists in New York, and which claims
to be IN some distant manner, religious
sheet, has been guilty of.pubiishing the fol-
lowing choice paragraph. The New York
Tribune intlmates that the Independent is
the tool of the Be; II OF tie New York stock
Exchange.
"Just as We are going to press, we re-
oeived most important piece of informa-
ton from reliable source. 1t is nothing
less than the expressed conUiction of Mr..
Sea0GTd that the Government cannot succeed
in this aCar; that the Confederacy aciU prob
ably be recognized By the European poIoers !:
and that peace a0iJL be the result IN sirty
days. In view of this, Mr. Thurlow Weed
has been sent to England, and if he shall
find the British Minister determined to
recognize the Confederacy, the Admins
tration here will prepare at once for peace
1t was to pave the way for this that the
discouraging report of Adjutant- General
Thomas was allowed to be published We
have no space at this hour to remark on
this information, except to say that, if en-
tirely correct (as we are positively assured)
it will simply break down the Administra-
ton and destroy the country"

Change In 1he -RaiIrond Mail.

OAAnRG IA ane EGa14FOA0 mail
The Superintendent of the Evansville and
Charlottesville Railroad has, for the public
accommodation, made a new Timetable,
which will go into effect tomorrow, Tues
day, Noe. 18th By il, the Mail Train will
depart at 9:25 A. NJ, and arrive at S:35 P. NJ,
both trains making good connections at
Vincennes with st. Louis, Cairo, Louisville,
and Cincinnati; and at Terre Haute with
Indianapolis.
The hour is too late to deliver the mail
the evening of its arrival. The office will
be opened promptly, at Z o'clock in the
morning, and remain open until o'clock
in the evening.
The mail will be kept open until half past
eight A. NJ, Post Office time) for letters to
the following points:
Princeton, Terre Haute, Washington,
Petersburgh, Rockville, Sullivan, and Car
Isle, Indiana; and to the following dstribut-
ing offices and points supplied through them ::
Indianapolis (supplying all points in the
East, North, and North West); st. Louis
Supplying points West of the Mississippi
River, including the Pacific coast); Cairo,
Cincinnati, Louisville, and Vincennes Sup
plying near points in Illinois). t 80
For all other points the mail will close at
8 A. NJ, Post Office time.
The time herein specified is the most that
can be given with safety. The missing of a
mail would be a se-Ious matter. Cores
pondents will therefore see the necessity of
looming to time" The above hours are
infexible and positive. No departure can
be made. Letters dropped into the Office
too late can not go till next mail. Route
agents have instructions not to take letters
at the cars except in cases of great emer-
gency. Those handed them will be put off
at the nearest Post Office to be regularly
mailed. Severe penalties are provided by
law for carrying sealed letters out of the
mail. JAMES Fl. MCNEELY, P. NJ.

TERRIBLE DISASTER IN FRANcE.-The
foreign papers give accounts of a terrible
casualty in the department of Gard, France.
In consequence of a powerful storm-the
bursting of a water spout, according to
some statements-the Lalle mine was food
ed and the sides fell in, burying all the
working men. An explosion of gas took
place at the same time, by which portion
of tie mine was blown up. The number
OF men missing, and considered as killed
by the accident, is nearly three hundred
There is no probability that but very few
can be got out alive.
The Evansville daily journal., 1861-11-13

RECOGNITION OF THE CoNFEDERAcY.-The
articles of foreign papers by the last steam
er, on the recognition of the Southern Con-
federacy, must give the coup de grace to all
the rebel hopes of recognition from foreign
powers. The London Post, which is the
organ of the Prime Minister Palmerston,
says recognition would increase the rig
or of the blockade, and any interference
would be an act Of war. As recognition
will not open the cotton trade, JEFF Davis
has nothing to hope from Downing street,
Some disunionists still hope that Louis Ma
poleon may be induced to yield to the sup
plications and opportunities of Mr.. Slidell,
when he reaches the French Court, but
there is no reason to suppose that Mr. S.
can effect anything to the detrimeut of the
Government of the United States. The
New York World remarks, with great force,
that ''if it took Franklin, with all his con-
summate ability, his extraordinary social
influence, his great weight of character, and
with all the nobleness of his cause, two
years to obtain from France a recog-
milton of his country's independence of the
worst enemy of France, such man as Sill
dell will find it no twelve months Job to
bring France to a similar resolution in fur
therance of the blackest conspiracy ever
Matched on earth, at the risk of war with
its Oldest friend among the nations and the
friend to which it now looks to save it from
starvation" There can be no reason to
question the action of England and France !;
they will rigidly adhere to that policy of
nOn-interference in our domestic quarrel
which has been determined upon and pro-
claimed by the Ministers of Foreign Affairs
of both Governments.
