The thing which above all others renders
foreign Governments detestabEe in the eyes of

whereby young men are secretly marked and
compelled to go to war, whether they will or
no. Cases are on record without count where
men have purposely MANNED their hands and
legs to escape the drafting. Discovered as in,

Stat, that the South Boston Iron Foundry
now employs two hundred operatives in the
manufacture of heavy ordnance and projec-

At this foundry are now making not only

sholl for ten inch Co!umbaids, and shot and
shell for twelve and six Founders, with canis-

twelve guns per week. Many persons sup
pose that mortars and heavy ordnance are
cast hollow, ready, after finishing, for use
This is a mistake. The gun is cast solid and

Firm Declaration of Secretary Sew
ard.

washington Correspondent of the y. Y. T;mes.I
Mr.. Seward, in a re cent interview
with one Of the Foreign Diplomats,
used some vigorous language that will
be quite likely to make an impression
on some of the powers of Europe
Mr.. Seward announced that any ma
ton that interfered with the rebellion
in this country, or gave any counten-
anee or encouragement to the rebels,
would be regarded as making war
with the United States, and would be
treated accordingly that when Eng
land was at war with India and Ire
land the United States Government
did not interfere, and all the world
must keep hands off us and our affairs,
or there would be trouble. The Di-
plomat undertook to intimate that the
question was an intricate one, and
one that demanded much considera-
ton. To which the Secretary of
State replied, that it was not so !;
that it was not only a plain one, but
one that hal been settled for years
by the law of nations, and that the
Federal Government would submit to
no interference, let it come from what
quarter it would, and thus ended the
conference.

one Result Of the aloekade.

The world will soon know whether
the North is more dependent on the
South than the South on the North.
One thing at least is already demon
strated The North, at the call of
patriotism, hesitates not to renounce
the Southern market. 1t hesitates
not to erect a barrier of bayonets
against the entrance of the corn of
Illinois, and the motions" Of Connec-
ticut, and the produce and manufac-
lures of every other free State, into
Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and
South Carolina. The blockade ef-
feetually dispels one of the mischiev-
GUS delusions which have tyranized
over the Southern mind. 1t is now
painfully apparent to the most obtusc
of the traitors, that the North serves
patriotism rather than Mamnlon /;
that it is more Solietous to vindicatc
the Constitution and enforce the laws,
than to keep up the price Of stocks.

Nearly ihcrce thousand persons lost all their

Ten persisted in the conhragration, Speedy

Tire following message from the rebels

Joseph Register:
The Harper's Ferry soldiers sent
word to Washington by travellers,
that they hoped the Massachusetts,
troops would be sent there against
them, and if SO, they would maize the
Potomac smell of Goldfish for the uext
six months. Some of the "Massachu-
sets Filth" who heard of this, sent
word back, if Gen. Scott would al
low them to go there, they would
guarantee that the Potomac should
taste of tobacco and whisky for the
remainder o. the year.

The traitors in the seeded States On assu-
ming control of the mails, in accordance with
their custom and natural instincts sto!c
all the mail bags, keys, stamps blanks, sc.
belonging to the Government, as also the
Postage Stamps remaining on hand. In
sending letters TO the loyal States they re-
ceive the postage assessed by their bogus
government in money and add U. s. three
cent stamp to pay the postage after the arri-
val of the letter at the Office of delivery in
the loyal States. This is pretty sharp op-
Grafton, but it will not avail them, as the P
o. Department dees not recognize payment
made with stolen stamps, and all letters re-
ceived from seeded States are not delivered
until the postage is paid by the parties receiv-
ing them.

troops, as they did not go prepared to fight so

Tell my Children to love and Up
hold the Constitution"


A few hours before his death, SEN
ator Douglas revived from the con-
dition of almost total Inconsistencies
in which he had lain fer many hours.
His mind seemed to resume its wont
ed faculties, and he conyersed in a
feeble voice with those around him.
He expressed a knowledge that death
was approaching. His devoted wife,
still keeping her long and anxious
vigils at his bedside, asked the dy-
ing statesman, if he had any message
to leave for his children, Robert and
Steven. The question at first was
not heard, but upon the wife's repeat
ing it, his voice and frame seemed
suddenly to possess new strength as
he replied: "TELL MY CHILD rem TO
LOVE AND UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION! !"
They were almost the last words he
spoke. A few moments afterward,
he desired to be raised higher upon
the pillow, in order that he might
look out from his window. The wish
was complied with. One of the
physicians expressed a doubt as to
the ease Of his position he answered
with feeble utterance 1T Is com

head sank upon the pillow, his lips

Burning of the Earper's Ferry
Bridge.
At FIVE o'clock Friday morning,
tie great bridge Of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad over the Potomac
was fred, and soon after a tremen-
dous report was heard, caused by the
explosion of mines under the centre
span. In one hour the entire struct-
ure was in ruins and fell into the
river. This was a noble work-one
thousand feet long-built by engi-
sneer Latrobe but ten years since, in
the most scientific manner.
1t had six spans, and was built at
a heavy outlay. The damage to
property has not ended here, but the
railroad company and the United
States have suffered further losses of
valuable works. The tresselling on
which the road was supported from
the bridge to the end of the Govern
ment property, about half mile in
extent. is nearly all destroyed, as
well as an upper bridge of 20 feet in
length over the Government canal.
The telegraph station buildings and
other railroad works are also demol-
Ished.
The long range of substantial
buildings formerly occupied as the
Government Armory are burnt to
the ground with the exception of two
buildings at the East end, near the
Shenandoah river. These will prob
ably yet be burnt. The fire has been
raging all day, and when he left, was
Just bursting out in the rear qual
ters.
The rife works on the Shenandoah
were fred this afternoon, and none
of the Government property remain
ed except the dwellings for officers
on the hills, and two out of tho
twenty armory buildings.
The arsenals were burnt in April
by the Government troops, when
Lieut. Jones abandoned the place. =
The loss to the Government must be
in buildings alone from 100000 to
100000, whilst the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company has suffered
scarcely less and it is believed that
some Of its equipments have been en-
braced in this wholesale ruin.
1t is currently given out by tho
people of the neighborhood that tho
Railroad Company has incurred the
serious hostility of the Confederate
troops by the supposed want of con
cert it has shown with them, and by
the marked loyalty of its employee:
towards the Government.

mortgages to its full value, except three acres
comprising the lot upon which he is buried
which had been transferred TO his wife He
also owed debts 10 large amount which were
not secured by mortgage. This state of facts
has induced number of prominent citizens of
