CAMERoN's FRANK TALK AT SPRINGFIELD.
In the Afternoon. a very large number OF the
citizens of Springfield called upon the Secre-
tary at the hotel, DESTROYS to obtain bis views
upon questions connected with the prosecution
of the war. While he spoke to them very
freely aud frankly, be wished them TO UNDER
stand distinctly that 10 what he said be merely
expressed his own personal opinions, and that
as Simon Cameron, he had no conceaIment' 10
make. lie would say to them that he in'
tended, so far as laid in his power, to prose-
cute this war with oil the vigOr aud power OF
the nation. He believed that we had at the
head of our army young General oil great
ability, and one in whom the people could re-
pose confidence. He could not speak OF what
Gen. Mcclellan proposed to do, az his business
as Secretary Of War was to furnish men and
munitions, and to trust the disposition OF the
troops to tho General in command.
Mr.. Cameron spoke of the cause of the war,
and sud that everybody understood what had
produced it; it was the discOrdant element oil
Slavery In regard TO that Institution, he be-
leved that the end Of the war would be the
end of Slavery, unless the rebels returned to
their duties and their loyalty.
The Secretary, in the course OF the CONVEX
sation, further remarked that in fttlrg out the
exped.ti which had so recently sailed for the
South, he had directed that an extra quantity
of guns should accompany the forces aud that
the commander should place these Ms IN the
hands OF ANY MEN who might offer to use
them. He had 40 doubt that plenty of men
would be found, even in South Carolina, who

ibis bcliJ he popd sec hat any other eiIirtd'''o"
dat might Aeyeejier go South should take ST.
Gcitat arms to enable those pho desired 10 fight
10 take The field in aid Of The Union cause.
The views of the Secretary were received
with The greatest qualification, enhanced BY the
frankness, readiness, and courtesy with which
he responded TO tie many Inquiries OF those
who sought his opinion. The war and the
Government wero vastly strengthened in the
heart of Massachusetts, by Simon Cameron

in fine taste and surrounded by beautiful
gardens and sbrubbery, have been deserted BY
their owners who have not even taken care OF
their contents. He saw silver ware and other
yauables lying on the tables and in the closets
the buildings in all their appointments bearing
evidence Of having been abandoned in great
