TIE Arr TEEAapSAs OF THE IIfnRI4I PALACE
AT PExN-TqHz STORY OF TnEm DEsrRuor,ou
RETUrED.-When the news Of the sacking of the
imperial palace at Pekia reached this country,
the first reelection that occurred to the mind
was one Of regret that some effort should. not
have been made to save from destruction the
treasures Of art and antiquity that il contained.
To the French officers was accredited the van
dalism Of allowing their soldiers to appropriate
or destroy everything of value within its walls.
Considering the vast number OF works of art
and rare industrial specimens, the accumulation
OF ages, which decorated the imperial resi-
dence, the world had deep reason to deplore
this reported destruction of its contents.
The story happily turns out to be q news
paper fabrication, intended to cast odium upon
the French. We find all its statements official
ly contradicted in letter from General de
Montauban to the Minister of War. After
brief description of the splendors Of the palace,
of which he says nothing in Europe can give
an idea, he adds that on driving the Tartar
ferent ontlets to be strongly guarded in order
that nothing might be disarranged until the
English came up. On the arrival Of Lord
Egin and General Grant, three commissioners
from each army were appointed to proceed to
the division of the most valuable articles, and
they were directed to bestow their attention
only upon the objects which from their art and
antiquity were most to be priced. These are
to be sent to Paris and London, in order to be
-. -, tl.n 49, L.
countries.
This explanation relieves the French from
the double accusation made against them of
barbarian disregard of the claims Of art and of
bad faith towards their allies. 1t also brings
with it the gratifying conviction that the reduc-
ion of Pekin will result in more important
advantages to the world than the mere CONSOLE
dation of English and French commercial inte-
rests in the East. The treasures discovered in
the imperial palace will throw new light ON
the origin of European art and manufactures,
and many Of the theories which have been 80
long accepted in regard to them may be en-
tirely oyerthrown by it. Thus in the elucida-
ton of many of the doubtful points in the early
stages of Western civilization, which undoubt-
eddy borrowed much from this ancient empire;
in the spread Of Christianity amongst the
Asiatic populations whose governments have
hitherto jealousy excluded its missionaries from
amongst them, and in the opening up of their
interior trade to commercial enterprise, the
world will be immensely benefited by the hui
initiation of the imperial dynasty. Great as is
the fathlessness and duplicity of Chinese
diplomatists, the severe lesson which they have
received will prevent them again attempting to
blind their people to the real character and
objects Of Western policy in their regard.

HARRISBURG, May 14.-It is understood
that Cows. Curtin and Dennison have pledg-
ed the Union men of Western Virginia the
entire forces of Pennsylvania and Ohio to
protect them against secessionists, Indiana
and Illinois have also pledged the Union
men of Kentucky and Missouri the same
way.
The Governors of all the Free States from
Pennsylvania west, have asked and obtain
ed pledge from the President that no COM
promise or cessation of the war shall take
place until the national flag floats over all
the national property
The Government is doing what it can,
through its Commissary and Quartermaster
Generals offices, to take proper care of vol
unteer contingents of States as they arrive,
but it will always be prudent on the part
OF the States to have in Washington, or on
the route, in advance of the troops, a mem
Der of the State General Staff, to provide
for contingencies, and to see that the troops
are properly cared for.

Hay- We are informed, from reliable
ource, that gentleman hailing from Ken
lucky, Gig miles below jacksonville,
Vhie visiting Camp Morris yesterday af-
ernoon, came very near that end to which
most of his class are destined to reach At
er being shown round and through the
amp by the geutlemanly officers Of the 18th
egiment, visiting headquarters, and being
Introduced to many of the officers, he had
either the impudence or fool-hardiness to
.nnounce himself in the presence Of the
oldiers, that he was in favor of Southern
lights, and was a secessionist. In a twink
ing every man was on his feet, and, but for
he stern command of their officers, would
nave given him the Union dose-a compound
If powder and lead-which they have al
ways prepared for traitors, and have the
courage to administer. The officers took
aim in charge and safely piloted him of
he grounds, while the cry of d" secessionist'
rang through the camp. In a moment two
or three hundred rushed for the lines, and
it was with the utmost difficulty that they
were restrained from molesting him.
We would caution all such to give Camp
Morris wide berth, for the boys of the
gallant 18th will make short work of them.
Secessionists will hereafter be received with
"a warmer reception than good men and

WASHINGTON, May 13.-Gen. Butler has
ordered the outposts of Col. Jones's Camp at
the Relay House to be extended some 10
miles towards Harper's Ferry. They will
act in conjunction with an advancing force
from Chambersburg, whose operations will
be against Harper's Ferry. These advanced
outposrs are also intended to cut off the fly
ing rebels from Baltimore who, it is sup
posed, have attempted to escape from Gen'l
Buffers forces. One thousand troops under
Col. Jones entered Baltimore this evening.
This move was made in consequence of re-
ports shat an attempt was being made to
revive the mob spirit in that city to prevent
the passage Of troops and to destroy the
railroad.

BosToN, May IA special session of
the Legislature met at noon to-day. Gov.
Andrews message is exceedingly patriotic,
giving a detailed account of the action of
the commonwealth He says this is no war
Of sections; no war of the North on the
South 1t is not waged to avepge former
wrongs, but q war waged to vindicate the
institutions Of the fathers, and the majestic
effort of the National Government to viRdi-
cate its power, and execute its functions for
the welfare and happiness of its people. Az
ter speaking Of the financial affairs of the
State, he says commissioners with letters of
credit for $50, 600 had been sent, in April,
to Europe, to purchase the most eff
cieut arms for the State, and adds when
Congress meets they will doubtless relieve
Us from paying duty thereon. Another
recommendation is the establishment of a
State encampment for military instruction.
He recommends loan to meet the expenses
Of any emergency, and recommends that
the scrip be partially issuable in sums Of
$50 to 500, that small capitalists may
share in the investment. The message con-
cludes by saying: Heavy responsibilities
have fallen, in the Providence of God, upon
this Government aud people, and they are
welcome. They could not have been safely
postponed. They have not arrived too soon.
They will sift and try the people-all who
lead ard all who follow. But this trial is
given US to review our past, and will breathe
the respiration of new life into our nation
al character and re-assure the destiny of the
Republic.

By ID. EAINiAEkOf-
Thank God, I once again behold
That glorious sight to patriot eyes
My country's flag, whose symbol fold
Floats here in free and Joyous skies.
I've come from where that proud ensign
Is torn and trailed in dust and shame
Where foul, lictntious Tongues mal'gn
The honor of our country's name.
I've fed the land where slavery's blight
Sears conscience and miIdeUs the heart,
Where honor holds, obscure, the right,
While pride plays out its ignoran' part
Not there, not there. can virtue dwell,
Nor patriots breathe their native air,
Nor freedoms pulse eXultant swell
Mid human woe and truths despair.
But here, where Gods eternal light
Sheds honest truth in every breast,
Away from shades of moral night
In this free land, shall honor rest.
Give me here but a rust to eat,
cordial grasp and welcome smile;
pennyless lot were far more sweet,
Than riches held mid treason vile.
All hail ! thou banner OF the free;
God bless the cause ye symbolic
The hopes that cluster yet round thee,
Next Heavens joys, all freemen prize
Up, men and soldiers Of the North
Redeem the flag your fathers gave
million lives were little worth,
The Union you are called to save
From Vernon's desecrated shades
To Mississippi's troubled mouth,
With gallant hearts and trusty blades,
Teach faith to the perfidiOus South.
They march to sounds of clanking chains,
The goading lash and fortunes gag;
Ye march to Freedoms holy strains,
To indicate our Nations flag.
They who their fellows rights spoil,
And VOW to rum or rule this land
They call We slaves, ye sons of tell,
Whom, one TO five, they can Withstand
Then on, ye freamen Of the North,
Raise high the Victor's battle cry;
In marshaled legions go ye forth
To strike for Right and Liberty.

A bitter feeling existed in Washington
