Those whose hearts were cheered by the event
were, from their prccarious situation, obligv'
to stiao every emotion Of Joy, while those IL
sympathy with the rebellion maintained
sullen silence, excepting you might occasion
ally hear "Yankee' In suppressed tom
from some rebel heart. The troops are quar-
tered in the city at the Custom House, Mint
and other public buildings, while Gen. But
Ter and Staff enjoy the luxuries Of the st
Charles. We have now an opportunity o
witnessing tho heart-bcatings Of rebellion
and the extensive system Of article and do
csption by which the people are deluded
many of whom in this city, and the adjoin
ing country, believe that Washington is II
possession of the rebels, but they are OF tn
lower class. To us who came from compar
lively thriving New England homes, tn
scene presented throughout the city was tru
ly surprising, and could but excite pity fol
the thousands in tho city who were led int
the rebellion, and are now suffering its ter
rible consequences. Before the arrival O.
the United States forces, grim starvation wal
the only picture Of the future presented t.
the laboring class their only resource wal
the Free Market which was established Il
supply them in measure with subsistence
and even this source of charity was becom
ing limited from the scarcity of provisions
The boys who sold confectionery about the
streets eagerly exchanged 1t for the refuse
hard bread of the soldiers, 80 great was theii
want of bread. AS you pass through the
almost deserted streets Of this city, the spirit
of drcariness and oppression that universally
prevails is sickening to the heart. Long
streets where formerly extensive bushes wa
enacted, are now almost deserted, and the
sound of your footsteps upon the pavement
rings out upon the stiffness of the street with
an oninous tone. 1t seems like treading the
streets of once buried city; here the city
has been buried in deceit and OPPRESSION
Grass is springing up between the paving
stones. and the windows are closed and barr.
ed. But q change in the aspect of affairs il
being effected. BY order Of General Butler,
provisions will be obtained to supply as fai
us possible the wants of the needy. A new
city currency has been established to take
the place of the shinplastcr in which the pco'
pie had but little confidence. Stores begin
to be opened, and the people are encouraged,
they have seen enough Of rebellion and would
rejoice to SEQ the end of it. Hundreds 50 to
the General every day for help, and to take
the oath of allegiance. General Butler has
issued recruiting papers, and hundreds are
enlistlng under the "Stars and Stripes" and
in this way We hope to raise loyal army to
hold our possessions as we advance.

An Offer and Refusal.

The following letter iron Samuel j, An
derson we find in the Maine Democrat. In
IL will DO found Mr.. Anderon's account OF
nm attempt on the part OF the Irregular
Democratic State Committee to join, what he
calls, the Jameson committee, in call for a
State convention. Il will be seen that the
Jameson committee, after having informed
the .o-ealled regular" committee that their
views were understood, fatty refused to unite
with them "in any call"
The reason assigned by B.A.G.Fuller, ESQ.,
for thus "snubbing" this Irregular" merce-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. was not very aat-
tering as to the great numbers offered by them
for sale, when he states that the Jameson
committee thought "they should get more
votes from the conservative Republicans"
than could be gained in the proposed trade.
We do not know but they can. But il
such is the case, then surely Anderson L Cos
stock in trade is mighty small-small even
for thee "hard times" for such Democracy
rs Is represented by that firm.
Mr.. Anderson wants the supporters OF
the Democratic organization" especially in
York County, to know how badly they have
been treated. We want them to know it,
too. We want them to know that wherever
the Democratic organization attempts to SUI
csr-coat the secession pill with the name OF
Democracy, there its supporters are despised,
rejected and cas-. OF, by all lovers Of their
country every where.
We give the letter the benefit Of our cir.
culation, hoping thereby to convey 1t to the
eve of some one Democrat who would no:
otherwise $50 il. And then let him reflect
whether he will longer support political
organization that canno, find fellowship with
another political organization Of his own
party that is "in favor Of sustaining the
President and the Government in all consti-
tutional measures. and our Army and NAVY in
their heroic Efforts to suppress the rebellion,
TO vindieats the Constitution, and to main
tain the Union."
