MIR. LEHMANN'S LETTER TO THE LON.
DON TINES.
To The Editor Of The n. Y. nribrne.

To the Editor Of The n. Y. Tribrne.
SIR: Allow me to state that my partner, Mr.. +.
Lehman in the communication TO The London T,me'
City Article. May 23 intended merely to elicit some
decided and competent opinion as to the real state of
the law in reference TO the condemnation OF prizes in
neutral ports. To allay vague fears Il quote his
own words from said artice, or to chow clearly the
dangers ace may have TO guard against" We
meaning of course our own and other Ango-American
firms interested same are, in American shipping
and the export trade to America.
When Mr.. Lehman wrote this article the additional
premium for wsrrisk asked by English underwriters
on American bottoms was from five TO seven guineas
per cent more than on Brsh bottoms, and it was Of
the last Importance to all interested in the American
flag, as owners and shippers TO show, if it could be
shown that the supposed dangers to flag were ex.
aggerated.
Mr.. Lehman and myself would fully agree with
you that JEFF. Davis has right to issue letter of
marque and that all ayailing of this usurped and un-
acknowledged authority ought TO bo treated by the
civilized nations rs pirates but and all merchants
in the selection of ships to carry cargoes, must be
influenced and governed by Lloyds scale Of charges
for insurance. The American shipping interest suffers
at this moment very much by the unsettled state Of
opinion on the rights Of capors.
still hope that the Observation-Disclosures Of the
Southern Confederacy by England as bellGerents. will
not be consummated, or if consummated, that Vice
Chancellor Kents views that Pnze-Court, sitting
in the country of its sovereign, has no jurisdiction
over prizes lying in a neutral port" will prevail, and
that under the present enlightened sentiment on the
subject of privateering former vicious practice Of
the British Admiralty Courts, will no longer be permit
ted to affect the above principle, which admitted
to be correct by Sir William Scott. (See Kent Law of
Nations, vol. /, pag' 1881

brutal violations Of law, Mr.. Everett gives us
his opinion plainly; and he does not hesitate to
trace to these the troubles which now beset us.
He dscards, if he ever entertained, that silly
philosophy which attributes all our national sor-
rows to Emigrant Aid Associations and Anti
Slavery Societies. He says that complaint OF
these has been mere subterfuge; that South
ern dread of Republican Administration has
been and Is o pretense, a cover, and blind;
and that the war now waged upon the Constitu-
ton has been declared and is carried on by men
who are simply wicked and ambitious; who have
cOnspired for years; who, in the progress OF their
conspiracy, disjointed the Democratic purity, and
who permitted the election of Mr. Lincoln
as part of their detestable plot. We
fully agree with our contemporary in its opinion
that these, if not already, will ultimately be the
opinions of the Anti-Republicans at the North.
Men cannot 90 on forever conferrng benefits and
receiving only insults; extending the friendly
hand only to have it disregarded, and the friend
ly remonsrauce only to have it contemptuously
received The revolted States might still have
numbered among their friends many able and
celebrated Northern men, if they could have un-
derstood that obligations entirely upon one side
are not usually of long continuance. The sell
fishness which has precipitated this controversy
and which has proved regardless of all public
considerations, was little susceptible of private
friendship or honor The rupture which bad
men have plotted, if they have not accomplished
it, was not merely severance of States, but OF
parties long established and of relations which
should have been cemented, and were not, by q
thousand sacrifices. The history of the times
needed perhaps this new illustration of slave
holding perfdy; and amply has it been afforded.
New-York daily tribune., 1861-06-09
LIEUT.COL. KEYEs.

A correspondent of ours at Fort Pckens made
the other day, in our columns, some criticisms
upon the expedition for the reinforcement of that
fortress which sailed from this port in April.
These criticisms were not well-founded, and did
injustice TO the distinguished officers who, under
the directions of Gen. Scott, planned and sent
out that expedition.
These officers were Col. Meigs. then Captain
Of Engineers, now appointed Colonel Of one Of
the new regiments Of regulars, and Lieut. COL
Keyes long an aid-de-camp of Gen. Scott
These two officers were together intrusted with
preparing the plans for the expedition, while the
execution OF the design deyoyed mainly upon
Lieut. Col Keyes Ono Of the most indispcn-
sable features in such an enterprise was secrecy
Until We had news Of the arrival OF the expedl-
ton, the public were in doubt as TO whether 1t
was intended for Fort Pickens or for TeXas.
How successful it was in every other respect is
plain, from the fact that the insurgents have
not since thought best to attack the fort,
though they have made great preparations for
its capture and tho failure to open their batteries
against il is a moia defeat most damaging to their
cause. Our thanks for all this are due chiefly to
Col. Meigs and Lieutenant-Coone Keyes, and
especially to the latter Our attention being called
to the subject by our correspondent, We take occa-
sion to do them an net of justice with the public.
Meigs has had his reward in well-earned promo
tiOn; and we trust that in looking for men capable
of leading the forces of the country, the Admins
traton will not overlook the eminent merits of
Lieutenant Colonel Keyes, one of the most accom-
plished soldiers and gallant officers to be found in
ANY ARMY.
New-York daily tribune., 1861-06-09
ONE THING AT A TEME.

Certain eminent and philanthropc women Of
Massachusetts arc circulating the following me-
moral
To The Honorable Senate and Boue Of Representatives in Cen
Oyeu duspbieds
The petition Of the Women Of tho North citizens Of the
United State, OF America;
Whrea fa,rieid. Il raging In the United States
Of America having for It's real origin and the holding Of
slave. in States tho Of the North pray Con-
sress propose any State States beginning with Mary
ls which sh. proclaim omsncpa within It's borders, aid
from the United S,Atos Treasury to remunerae all individuals
who having property except slaves would be impoverished
by their emancipation.
We print the above at the request Of q
friend but the movement it involves does not
commend itself to our judgment as timely. The
one thing now TO be done is TO maintain the
Union by an unconditional repression Of treason.
Before the war was forced upon the Unionists,
we heartily favored such movement as is in
dicated above; after the triumph Of the UnoDists
is assured, we shall be ready again to consider
that or any other proposition looking to the
extinction of Slavery. At present, We feel that
an agitation of the subject tends to cool and
ALLEVIATE some support from the Union cause. 1t
seems to us that unqualified uncaculatiDg de-
votion to the Union is just now the true way to
aid every good cause, including that Of Eman-
cipatlOn.
New-York daily tribune., 1861-06-09

We have received explanations of the letter to
Tie London Times of Mr. L. Lehman, of the
house of Nayor & Co., which are perfectly
satisfactory. That letter was not intended in
any manner to justify priyateeriDg or to express
sympathy for the piracy contemplated by JEFF.
Davis, but solely to elicit more thorough dis
cussion of the law upon the subject, in order
that the rights of privateers and the dangers of
commerce might be better understood in England.
The sympathies of Mr.. Lehman are entirely on
the side of the Union; and the interests of the
house are almost exclusively connected with the
Free States, the amount Of its transactions at
the South being comparatively trifing. We may
add that Naylor & Co. have subscribed largely
to the funds for fitting out volunteer regiments
in Boston and Philadelphia, as well as in New
York,
New-York daily tribune., 1861-06-09

At the annual meeting of the American Unitarian
Association held in Boston a few days since, letter
from the Unitarian Church of San Francisco read.
BY this letter, it appears that within one year the
church had paid off debt OF nearly twenty thousand
dollars sl9 94 2i beside parish expenses of $4,000;
ALSO contributions various charitable objects, every
three months of $780, making total for the year OF
more than $4,000. On the 18th Of April last, the
church held day Of rejoicing, when the editce was
profusely decorated with flowers, including fifteen
bushels of roses and nkofering for their re-
demption from debt the meeting gave $500 more from
Z" their draned and almost colapsing purses" TO the
American Unitarian Association, sending check for
the same in the letter referred to above. During the
time, it appeared that their pastor, the Rev. l.
Starr King had delivered thrty-eght lectures and adj
dresses none for the benefit of the parish or for Uni
tartan purposes the net result of which was $4,000
more, Ito aid worthy public organizations in the city
and State"
New-York daily tribune., 1861-06-09

as IN illustration. In 1860 there were fifty
steamers running regularly out of Norfolk, three
of which were frst-class packets to this city,
doing o splendid business. Two ran to Phil
adephia, and were fully employed. A daily line
was run to Baltimore while others carried the
rich commerce of hundred towns upon the
Chesapeake. The sailing craft was vastly more
numerous. The arrivals for the year ending
June l, were 164 from foreign ports, and 1853
coastwise, an average of ~ daily. Now there is
not one. In the same period 1888 bales of
cotton were received, or double the quantity Of
the previous year. Norfolk was better market
for corn than any other city in Virginia,
and the price there was within frac-
tiOn of New-YOrk quotations. The receipts were
nearly 1000, 900 bushels. The receipts of flour
were 55, 900 barrels; of shingles $4,000, OOO the
product of slave labor in the neighboring swamps.
The value of manufactures was S752,0OO. All
this commerce, foreign and domestic has been
struck dead by the blockade. Not a shingle can
be exported, not q pound of food imported.
What millions of capital must be paralyzod or
sunk outright, by the violent stOppoge of trade
like this No wonder that the local newspapers
refuse to chronicle its disastrous consequences,
and to expose the deep humiliation and distress
into which their own folly has precipitated them.
If mere embargo reduced SO many of us to
poverty, what greater destitution must this
blockade produce Imagine New York tho VIC
tim-Our harbor blocked, our inland intercourse
restricted, our ships dismantled, our wharves de-
serted. our countless laborng population idle, our
banks suspended coin inaccessible, shinplasters
rampant, all debts repudiated -four at SIS
barrel, and an army lowering on our confines,
whose onslaught, when it did come, we knew
must be overpowering. New.York has gone
through many furnaces Of ailliction, even in the
memory of the present generation, but never
through ono so hot as this. Yet who can doubt
that Norfolk, Richmond, Charleston, Savannah,
and New Orleans are already realizing the early
horrors of both rebellion and blockade
