his return 10 France,

ance Of the Invitation to deliver an address
before the Autumnal Convention Of the Uni

[From the New York Commercial Advertiaer.1
Recently, a wealthy North Ca1olinian came
to the North, to take his daughter from school
in one Of the large towns of Western Massa-
chusetts. This gentleman, a Mr. NJ, hes slave
property to the amount of more than $200, 600
and other property which makes him man
Of very lafge wealth. In order to reach his
destination, he travelled more than thrae thou
eand miles By circuitous routes, and came to
the free States at Louisville.
Befole leaving North Carolina, Mr. ID. lad
heard terrible stories Of the destitution and
anarchy prevalent here. He heard that the
school ut which his daughter Was, was broken
up, and that she Was servant in 9 family. As
he advanced into the northern States he was
overwhelmed with everything he saw, SO diff
This city he expected to see egrown to grass"
and the signs Of business astonished him He
pushed on to Massachusetts, found the school
in full blast, md his daughter just ready to
graduate. He spent few days in the town
and mingled freely with the people, who in
wealth, intelligence, culture, and the tone Of
political sentiment, are fair representatives. Of
the best opinion Of New England. MI. NJ. had
been strong Union man- Even BOW he loved
the Union, and mourned over the sad calamity
which is destroying Its peace. He said that
where be had been at the South, every nale
| from fifteen to sixty Was in the army. Many
communities had not white male inhabttant
above the age OF childhood Or below that OF
seniltty. The whole available force Of the South
Was under arms, and Of course, cnce beaten OF
destroyed, there was NO reinforcement. He
| said that if the Union was dissolved ha would
be beggar: his Slaves would be worth les
! than as many sheep.
| Mr. NJ. finally left for his homo, taking hiE
daughter with him. He was full of sad fore
bodfnge, but he will carry back with him q
new idea of northern sentiment, and know1
edge, which, If it conid be generally made pub
lie, would soon arouse the once loyal citizens
Of the South, to the duty Of putting an end t.
the reckless treason Of which they arc the vic

The Washington correspondent Of the Phil
adelphia Inquirer tells this story Of General
Mcclellan. It may be true:
"General McC CIel1an is in the habit Of riding
around occasionally in citizen's dress, aecom-
panied by few Of his staff. 4 few days ago
he was walking through one Of the encamp-
ments, acrcEs the Potomac, and passing the
rear he SEW q bucket Of coffee standing near a

e1ops,' he said. 'Oh,' said the soldier, it is
not fit to drink, but we have to put up with
it, and our ether food is not Bit better
well, whose fault is it::' he asked. tOh, our
QIa1termaster is drunk most Of the time, and
when he is not he is studying how to cheat.
dence Of the dirty and B1oEenly manner in
which the Quartermaster conducted his ope-
rntions in his tent, he accosted him with the
remark that his men were complaining Of bad
t1ea1ment frcn him. The Qusrser1naster few
into passion, and swore it was none Of his
ing around trying to make mischief. McClel-
Ian answered him, telling him be had better
be cautious how he talked Quartermaster
replied, Who are you, that you assume Sc

The elegant ssladies" who have been ar
reeted at Washington take the Jail fare very
unkindly. They are not used to such treat
ment, and one Of them, rendered almost in
zane by it, keeps her position At the grated
window Of her cell, calling out to passers by
and de1iding this " free country" The arrests
have had q wholesome effect upon the balance
Of their dangerous society, and the other NO
men are very quiet, They have been tolerated
already tco long, and their petticoats will
shield them no longer from richly merited
punishment. There are blatant females else.

take warning.
We zee it stated that Mrs. Greenhow is an
aunt Of MIS-. Senator DougIas. Her husband
vas for twenty years connected with the State
Department az Librarian and Translator

California Commission in 1856. The charg.
against her is Of maintaining reasonable COZ

gathering in the minds Of thousands of
people in the Southern States, who have
been led or pushed reluctantly into the

WASHINGTON, Aug. pa circular letter was
recently seat, it is uIde stood, from the Office
Of the Auditor Of the Treasury for the Po3t
Office DtpartEa.nt to proper persons near TIC
States of Kentuck7, Missouri and Maryland,
for the purpose OF tsceftaining whether those
CONTRACTORS aro faithful and loyal to the Union
znd to guard against an improper use OF t.elr
facilities for secession purposes. Much valu-
able Information was received from this in
qniry.
TIE sfbtement that news has been recei7ed
Indicative OF certain and speedy recognition
OF the Confederate States, is unfDunded. On
the contrary, the Indications are that all the
European governments intend to continue to
respect the blockade and to await the result
OF the contest
