Adlntant General.
A cali so sudden and unexpected finds
me wthoat materials for an intelligent re .
ply. Our Young men are all pre- occupied
with other views, still. il real call for
three regiments is made, believe we can
raise them in forty days. The arms and
equipments would need TO be furnished
here. Our people have now marched
without them. They 90 into camp while
forming into regiments, and are drilled
and pIacliced, and march as soldiers
10 attempt the other course would be TO
dampen the enthusiasm, and make men
feel that they we're not soldiers, but a
mob. Again. il our people feel that they
are going into the South to help 10 fight
the rebels, who will Kill! and destroy them,
by all means known TO savages as well as
civilization, who will deceive them with
fraudulent flags OF truce and lying pre-
fences, as they did the Massachusetts boys
at Williamsburg will use their negro
slaves against them, both as laborers and
fighting men, while they themselves must
never fire at the enemy's magazine, |
think they will icel it heavy on their patri.
otism. but, if the President will sustain
Gen. Hunter, recognize all men, even
black mrn, as legally capable of that 10y.
atty the blacks are waiting to manifest
and let them 6ghi with God and human
nature on their side, The roads will swarm
If need be. with mul:i.udes. whom New
England would pour out to obey your
call.
Always ready TO do my utmost, re-

HALIFAX, June 24.-The Arabia,
from Liverpool on the morning of
the 14th and Queenstown on the
18th, arrived this morning.
In the House of Commons, on
the 18th, Lord Palmerston said, in
answer to a question, that no COM
munication had been received from
the French Government on the
subject Of mediation in America,
and the British Government had
no intention at present to offer
mediation.
Lord Palmerston said that no
man could read General Buffers
proclamation without feelings Of
She deepest Indignation. [Cheers.
It was a proclamation to which he
did not scruple to attach the cpl.
tibet of "intamous."
The Times regards the defeat Of
Banks as one of the most important
SUCCESSES of the Confederates, or
account of the lesson it teaches
the North, showing that efforts
and sucrifces greater than any
that have gone before must bt
made if even a border State is tC
be won back to the Union. Hopes
of early solution must be dispelled
and in the mean time, increasing
debts and mutual hatred will tent
TO make a new Union more anG
more impracticable.
The Morning Post d%enounces ii
Interest terms Buffers proclama.
ton relative to the ladies of New
Orleans, and thinks that Govern
mcnt is bound to recall and courI
martial him, and says that such
acts as this, if not promptly disa'
vowed, would soon turn the scale
finally and decisively, and in favor
Of tile Confederate cause.

peA- The Cincinnati Commercial,
in speaking of the restoration Of
the Democratic party to power,
asks:
SIS this the entertainment to
which the people are invited, who
are now giving their blood and
treasure for the vindication of law
and the firm establishment of our
nationality -.
Were we a Republican we should
be ashamed to speak of those
"who are now giving their blood
and treasure for the vindication Of
law" &c. When the Democrats
asked of The last fusion Legis'a-
ture to permit those giving their
blood and treasure in the field Of
battle, the simple right to vote on
the restoration of the Democratic
party to power" and all other
questions so vital to them, they
were turned away with contempt,
and imputations upon their honor
and honesty Now these same
negro lovers come before US with
mawkish solemnity about those
"giving their blood" &c. We have
seen enough of thls-those "giving
their blood" so freely have seeL
enough Of it. The coming election
is one in which the Democratic
party and those "giving their
blood" on the battle field will
make common cause against the
thieves and robbers who have
stinted the soldiers stomachs tc
put money in their own pockets
Nearly every Democratic voter has
a son, a brother or near relative in
the field, and they intend to sec
that they are treated like white
men and white soldiers should be
The fathers at home desired the
votes of their sons in the Army
so that by a united effort they
might drive the thieves from al
public places, and the soldiers thus
get their just dues. This is wha
the Republican leaders, army con
tractors, and the public plunderer
so much dread. This is why they
/ dared not let the soldiers vote, ant
this is why they are anxious to &c

PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTIONS.


WHEREAS, Our country being engaged in
u civil and fratricidal war which, in its ter
rible proportions and the magnitude Of inter-
ests involved in it, is without a precedent in
the history Of nations, and it cannot end
without solving this all important question:
"Is man capable of Gelf-governmentY The
question is as old as history itself-Despo-
tism has always answered No-Freedom has
as often answered Yes. Our fathers, for
themselves, their posterity, and their race,
adopted Freedoms answer. To establish it,
they pledged 'their lives, their fortunes, and
their sacred honor" God blessed them in
their efforts, and they succeeded. Our be-
loved Constitution, carefully drawing the
boundaries between despotism and freedom,
and securing the latter at every point, from
the aggresEions and assaults of the former
and the glorious union Of the States under
it, we're the rich fruits of their contest with
Despotism, and in order to preserve these
blessings to ourselves, and for our posterity
and race. We assert it to be the duty Of
every citizen to abide by, maintain and up
hold the Constitution and Union when as
sailed, and to oppose all Its enemies, from
whatever quarter it may be attacked
| whether from within or without-whether
by rebels in arms against its authority and
repudiuting its protection, or by traitors at
home who, claiming its protection, ruthless.
ly violate and trample under foot its most
sacred and plain provisions, in order to
carry into effect political purposes, objects
and ends, that are plainly prohibited by the
Constitution. We repudiate and oppose all
such enemies, and will do all in our power
to maintain, protect and defend our coun'
try, in this the day of her great peril. On
the one hand, we have freely given our
sons, our brothers and our friends, for the
purpose of unfolding her in her constitu'
tionalintegrity honor and unity, throughout
her entire length and breadth-against those
who have risen in arms against her legiti
mate authority, and for the same purpose
we have contributed of our means, and vii
cheerfully continue to do 50: on the othel
