THE SIMPLE TRUTH.

Some remarks appeared in these columns the
other day which did great injustice to Gen.
Arthur, the Acting Quartermaster General OF the
State in this city. One of the points was based
on representations made by Col. Hawkins with
regard W the bad quality of the blankets fur
nshed his regiment. 1t now appears that the
blankets in question, some 200 pairs, serving
about one quarter of the men, were taken by
the Quartermaster Of the regiment on his own
responsibility, without waiting for their inspection
bp the Acting Quartermaster.General, who would
certainly have rejected them.
Another point was the wretched uniforms fur
nished to several regiments. We now learn that
the State authorities have not ns yet furnished
single uniform, and that those complained OF
were in every case, provided by private COM
mttees, or by the regimcntal officers, from funds
supplied by such committees. The Acting Quar-
termaster- General will be ready to supply uni
forms of very substantial character in day
or two. They are manufactured by Messrs.
Brooks Brothers, and every uniform is inspected
by committee composed OF Messrs. Wilson q.
Hunt, George Opd,ke, Charles A. Buckingham,
and John Gray who have consented TO serve for
this purpose, aud were busy in the duty all day
Saturday.
There are now quartered, in and about this
city, some 10 900 or IL, 900 men, and it il greatly
to the credit of Gen. Arthur that he has been
able to organize the providing of quarters and
rations in a manner so efficient and successful.
The cost of the rations is IS cents a day per
man; and We believe every part of the depart
ment is managed with great energy and
economy.

0PERSONAE.O

Some friend 1--WE presume) sends us the fol.
lowing paragraph, which, he says, is cut from
The Chicago Daily Times of the 9th ult.
"PERsoSAL.-While thirteen appointments, foreign
and domestic have been given to editors and attaches Of THR
EBw-YoRK TRIBUNE, single connected, editor
correspondent with that paper has volunteered fight The
who talk the loudest ere not the who fight"
The above is not only "persoDal" but
ly untrue. We know Of but three persons
who ever were editors and attaches " Of
this paper who have been appointed to any place
whatever, and not one of these either sought or
was commended for office on account of his past
or present connection with THE TRIBUNE. And
how the appointment to Office of gentlemen whom
we have employed and paid should be charged to
our account we do not know. Had it been an
object to US TO get rid Of them, we might feel our
selves obliged to the Government for taking them
off our hands, but they have earned all we ever
paid them, and they have been paid by us all they
earned in our service 80 that the account is exactly
square One Of them was for a long time an
editor Of another journal, but never Of this.
Several persons till recently in our employment
have left il to serve as soldiers 10 the war Tor
the Union; but we claim no merit on their ac-
count any more than we hold ourselves obliged
by the appointment of those above referred TO-
For the present. our post of duty is here urging
vigorous prosecution of the contest and exposing
the insdious Vaccinations Of those who are con-
strained by an overwhelming public sentiment to
uphold the cause of the country, but who are at
heart its deadly enemies and miss no safe oppor-
tunity to give it a stab. Should the time ever
come wherein we can serve it better in any other
sphere of action, we shall try TO be there.

NO DnsMEMRERMENT OF THE Ma
TI0N.

The President has wisely determined to pub
fish the correspondence of Mr. Faulkner with the
State Department reporting his interview with
NJ Thouyenel concerning the question Of the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the American Republic and
the establishment of separate nation in the
South. OF course, Mr.. Faulkner does not here
say that he had presented to NJ. ThOuvenel JEFF.
Davis's Commissioners, since they had not yet
arrived; but we have credible information that
when they did arrive he gave them the benefit OF
his introduction to the Minister of Foreign AL
fairs.
In this letter Mr.. Faulkner assures the Secre-
tary of State that tho French Government will
be in no haste to recognize any new power buiit
up by the destruction of tho American Union,
though it will of course hold itself at liberty to
recognize such q power so soon as it shall seem
to be actually and permanently established. Like
q genuine Virginia abstractionist, Mr.. Faulkner
SAYS that he assured tho French statesman that
force would never in any case be employed by
the American people to reduce the conspratOrs
TO obedience and duty. How little these dlsunlon
theorists understand of tho temper of the Ameri-
can people, anu Oh tntlI w t"o S"h
stituton left them by their fathers OF the Revo-
luton How little they appreciate that supreme
feeling which pervades the land, as the blood
peryades the living body, the feeling that the
Integrity of the Republic must never be
broken
To this feeling Mr.. Seward, in his letter to
Mr.. Dayton, also printed by direction of the
President, gives a felicitOus and an adequate ex-
preston. "There is not now" he says " nor
has there been, nor will there be, any the least
/" idea existing in this Government of suffering
% dissolution Of this Union TO take place In any
SWAY whatever. There will be here only one
" nation and one Government, and there Will be
d" the same Republic and the same constitutional
" Union that have already survived dozen ma
" tiOnsl changes and changes of Government in
" almost every other country" There cannot be
a question that these words moderately and
plainly set forth one of the deepest and most
Interchangeable sentiments and determinations OF
the American People. Here is q policy which
they will stand by through every difficulty and at
whatever cost.

TEE TWO wHITNEYs.

The South-the Cotton regon-the Confed-
crate States-were either poor beyond belief
or not called into social being before one mud
" sill " of New England, Whitney by name, III
vented the Cotton Gin. Eminent South Carolina
clothed herself in tangible fustian before the
great idea OF how the cotton crop could be MADE
profitable was evolved by the "greasy mechanic
in question. This little machine has been the
pivot of all Southern politics. 1t doubled the
area of the South, carried Slavery to Texas ana
unfortunately, as consequence, turned Virginia
nto great negro-breedng region Whitney
himself, however, was defrauded of the profits
of his invention, aud died poor man.
Sixty years after this invention of the Whitney
who gave the Cotton South what it has, another
Whitney, doubtless OF the same old Puritan stock,
is killed in the streets of Baltimore by the So
cession traitors. This Whitney is recorded as
having been the first Of the three stricken down

HOW 1T WAS TAKEN.

An Alabama planter, who detests the Seces-
sionists and oil their works, has invested $50
in the $4,000, 600 loan of the JEFF. Davis oil
garchy Cause why-he couldn't help it. He
was told that he could not do better than take
that amount, and, after considering the matter
fully, he arrived at the same conclusion. His
thrifty neighbOrs have all invested in the same
stock from $50 to $4,000, according to their re-
spective means, beiSs satisfied that it would cost
more to refuse than to come down.
There is nothing very remarkable nor especially
henous in this. War has its necessites-cvil
war especially-and they will command respect.
But the immeasurable eaae aud falsehood with
which the Rebels have trumpeted the taking of
this Loan at eight per cent, based on the very
best and most practical security the COnfederacy
have to give-an export duty on their cotton
merits exposure. They have blazoned everywhere
that New Orleans wanted the whOle--that foreign
ers were eager for large share, but must stand
back because it was all wanted at hOme-have
talked of premiums, &c, &c. The upshot OF all
is that $l2 900, 900 are taken, partly by free ne
groes, under constraint and in fear of personal
peril. They will want another loan directly, and
if any slave has few dollars Of chicken-money
tied UP in an old stocking he must be ready TO
stand and deliver.

A dispatch from Mr.. Simeon Draper to Gov.
Morgan, published in our paper yesterday, con-
corning the situation OF the Second Regiment on
the Battery, gives an incomplete and erroneous
view of the facts. 1t is corrected in the sub
Joined dispatch from the Colonel of the Regiment:
"cAxP ANDERSON NKw.YoRK, May 4, 1861.
"Governor z. d. MORGAN Albany, Kew York.

The Colonel frankly states the real cause of the
deficiencies complained Of. 1t is the hnperfectlon
and inefkciency of the regimental staff. The
Quartermaster of the regiment had failed 10 do
his duty in making requisition for the neces.

Mr.. RUSSELL AND CAPT. MEAGHER.


To the Editor Of the N r. Tribune
Sir: My attention called to-day on my
turn from the review Of the division across the Po-
tomac, to letter from officers of the Goth regi-
ment, in which the writers say that n "one or two
of the more recent letters of Mr. Russell to the
London Times illusions have been made to Captain
+. L. Meagher, seeming to imply that at and i'm
mediately after the battle of Bull Run he was
wanting in his duty, and did not exhibit that stead
mess and bravery, &C." The officers did not do
me the honor OF reading my letters. | never al
luded to Captain Meagher but in reference to his
appearance at Centreville. The officers signing
the letter did not him. they say, after the final
repulse NV statement is that he came up on foot
to the hill at Centrevie with expressions admitting
that there had been a defeat at the hands OF
the Confederates. As to the MODE in which he dis
charged his duty as to his personal conduct in the
battle, said not word, though | did notice
absurd statement about a flag which dare say
amused if it did not annoy Captain Meagher him
self. Your obedient servant,
WIN. H. RUSSELL
p. S.-I need scarcely say that the lies which
are printed of me do not deserve notice or reuta-
ton Not word said in my hearing to cause
me annoyance on my visit to Harper's Ferry. The
congenial attempts to excite the soldiery to as
sassination must be disgusting to Americans and
soldiers

Neg"I'a'iohs We're yesterday in progress among
the proprietors OF the Journal nj CoMnerce LOOKING
to change IN the ownership and conduct of ths
paper. The heirs OF the late David Hale and other;
OF the propretOrs, as we understand made propo.
sitions to Dir. Gerard HallOck for the purchase ot
his interest and his withdrawal from the establish
ment; or for the purchase, by him, of their inter.
est and bis assumption of the sole prOprietorship.
This movement originates, we believe, in the dis.
content of these parties with the reasonable and
seditious course which Mr.. Haliock, as the editor
of the paper, has fit to pursue, at the peril o
its total ruin as a commercial journal.
From The Boston Courier.
who's Ahead!
We told the world beforehand that we were bet
ter oil than the South in men, ships, money, and
OF war-that the character of our people
gave US moral force which the S0utherners could
not withstand; and moreover, that it would be i'm
possible for them to do any thing more than take
care OF their own slaves. Now, without denying
the truth OF these assertions, supposing our own
conduct had borne them out, we would simply ask
whether we have added to our own credit by this
sort OF preliminary seltg glorifcaton-nr, in other
words, supposng the facts asserted to be true have
our achievements thus far been commensurate with
the advantages claimed by us?
