Our Late KePuIse Near Charleston
where Lies the Kesponsibilify!

little column Of our brave soldiers in South
Carolina. after a desperate engagement with
some of the defensive rebel works OH james Isl
and near Charleston, have been repulsed with
very heavy loss in killed and wounded The de-
tails which we publish at length. from own
officers and reporters, tell the melancholy story.
We read it over, with the acco 1ytng explana-
tons; but still the question recurs, Where lies
the responsibility
General BeHham, the officer in the immediate
command Of the Stono Inlet enterprise, has been
seized upon as the responsible party, and has re-
turned to this city under arrest, as having DISC
beyed or exceeded his orders in the battle But,
whatever may be the charges against him, and
whether true or false, must strike at higher
game than General Benham if we wish to reach
the parties to whom the responsibility in this
matter properly belongs. We think it very evi-
dent that Gen. Benham's force was much too
small for the work which he undertook 10 accom-
plish Five or ten thousand additional men
would have given him decisive, and, in all
probability, bloodless vistory. Our supreme
commander in that doDartment. General Hunter,
should have known better than to suppose that
the small force detailed under General Be..ham
would be sufficient to work its way round TO the
back door Of Charleston. General Hunter, how
ever, had been too much pre-occuped with the
negro question, his emancipation edicts, and the

with the newspaper press. Col. Seaton who has
for ha.f a century labored to make and to sustain
the reputation of the National InfelLigencer as IA
high toned, truly patriotic and correct journal;
Francis P. Blair, who was deeper IN the conf

than any other man, and who has aspired to be
''the power behind the throne of the Republican
party; cutivsting meanwhile his beautiful estate

nership with Blair, and who proftably publishes
the Congressional Globe, retiring at night to his
rural retreat near Bladensburg; Colonel Peter
Force, formerly publisher of the National Gazette,
but for some years pst entirely absorbed in pep
fecting his famous collection of books and his
torical documents, among which he lives; and
Amos Kendall, once so famous as partisan wri

shrunken form, who resides at Kendall Green"
in the environs where he devotes the greater por-
tiOn of his time to Deaf and Dumb Asylum
which he has founded, and to other charitable

miliarly known ''Joe Gales" of the National
InfeLIigencer, and Father Rtchie, of the
Union, are dead, regretted by numerous friends
who know their worth.

Mr. LincoIn-The Way he Initiates
Washington, Jefferson, and Madi-


In February, 1861, when Mr.. Lincoln was on
bis way to Washington, he addressed a deputa-
ton OF citizens of Kentucky in this city, and
stated what would be the policy of his Admins
tration in the following distinct and unmistakable
terms
1--WE mean to treat you as near as we possibly
can as Washington, jefferson, and Madison
treated you We mean to leave you alone, end
in no way to interfere with your institutions to
abide by all and every compromise of the Con-
stitution."
And how did Washington, Jefferson and Mad
son treat slavery and the slaveholding communi-
ties? Washington signed the firstlaw for the re-
delivery of fugitives from labor; jefferson pur-
chased vast slave empire, and Madison voted
for the provision of the Constitution to continue
the slave trade for twenty years. And how has
Mr.. Lincoln treated slavery and the slavehodng
communitiesY He has, under party pressure,
given his signature to bill. passed in the heat of
a fanatical excitement, to abolish slavery in the
District of Columbia He has sent message to
Congress advising the passage of resolutions to
encourage emancipation in the States. What of
Washington, Jefferson or Madison is there to be
discovered in thisl Mr.. Lincoln, if he is trying
to copy, certainly makes the poorest possible i'm
itation; and makes no better approximation to the
Fathers of the Republic in policy than he does
in abilities and dignity of haracter.-Cineinaati

contrabands of Hilton Head, and the abolition
missionaries and school teachers among them
male and female-to know much of the rebel
forces and defenses around Charleston or any
where else. We think. therefore, that, in the
first place, the responsibility in question may be
justly shifted from the back of General benham
to the shoulders of General Hunter.
Instead of concating, by conservative pol
icy on the slavery question, and bv acts of char
ity and magnanimity, as General Halleck has
conciliated the white population of the districts
he has conquered, we find General Hunter, with
his Abolition DEGREES and Abolition negro schools,
to say nothing of negro soldiers laboring zeal
ousy in behalf of our Abolition fanatics and dis
organizers, to exasperate the white race of his
Department to the fercest desperation against
him and the Union. But whence and why these
extreme Abolition manifestations on the part of
General Hunter? That is the question We an
swer that he has been encouraged in these pro-
ceedings by the emissaries and proteges of the
Treasury Department, and by the full consent, if
not by the active CO operation, of our present
Secretary of War. While we may condemn
General Hunter therefore, in this business as the
willing instrument of his superiors in official
power and influence. they are the really respon-
sible parties for this late military blunder near
Charleston, and for the very unsatisfactory re-
suits of all our vast military expenditures in that
quarter since our occupation of Port Royal har-
Dor.
We charge upon Mr.. Secretary Stanton, es-
pecialy, this disaster at James Island and all the
Improbable results of our late military operations
in South Carolina and Georgia, as we charge up
on him the chief responsibility for all our mill
tary blunders, reverses, losses, failures and en-
tansements, from the Rappahannock to the val
ley of Virginia, which have followed the break
ing IN of the original army and the plans of Gen.
Mcclellan. The President, however. appealing
from the War Office to General Scott, has at
length taken the proper course and the proper
man to repair all these losses and bunders in the
Shenandoah valley and the Rappahannock De-
partment. General Mcdowell, General Banks
and General Fremont each as an independent
commander in the same general field, have only
served 10 embarrass each other, and make ICON
fusion worse confounded" The latter has Just
resigned. and, under the comprehensive supreme
command of Gen. Pope, we dare say the others
will do much better in having a superior. tried
and approved military leader to direct their move
ments. similar reform in the department of
Gen. Hunter, making abolition philanthropy, fa-
naticsm and folly secondary to the more i'm
portant work cf putting down the armed force of
this rebellion, will leave very little more be
desired in view of speedy end to JEFF Davis and
to his spurious and intolerable despotsm over
the remnants remaining of our late so-called

what the preferences Are.

The people of the North are divided into two
great classes concerning the war, and the differ
ences between them are these One class insist
upon conducting the war on constitutional and
common sense principles, and terminating it, and
restoring the States to their original rights and
privileges and the Union TO its integrity, so soon
the rebellion shall cease. The other class in
sist upon conducting it in accordance with their
partisan dogmas and passions; they insist upon
emancipation of the whole body of the slaves by
military proclamation; upon indscriminate con
fscation of property in the States by simple
Congressional enactment; upon reducing the in
surgent States to the condition of provinces, and
thus essentially changing the character OF the
Federal system. These, we say, are practically
the differences between the people of the North
concerning the war, and they will form the pop
ular issues at the ensuing elections especially the
elections for Representatives in Congress.
As men shall range themselves on these issues,
they will declare for the Union or against it.
They cannot be for the Union if they would con-
vert the war into an engine of partisan dogmas
and prejudices and hatreds: the Federal power
nowhere lies to proclaim negro emancipation;
Congress has no authority to confscate property
except through action of the courts which shall
separate the innocent from the guilty; and a
State the inhabitants of which are in insurrec-
tiOn can more be reduced to the condition OF
province than can State every citizen Of which
is loyal and true To pursue the war Dy these

Tbe Debt ve-nro p,I,prUp.

The New York Christian Adrocate comments
on the National debt which this rebellion is crea-
ting, as follows:
They tell us of an expense Of nearly seven
hundred millions in a year. Can we appreciate
such sum? How little do we know of the dis
tance to the SUM- Ninety five millions of miles!
Start a railroad train for such journey. Let il
stop at no planet for wood and water, or passen-
gers. Place on it a little infant. The infant be-
comes a man, reaches the allotted age of man,
but earth is not reached. Let another take his
place live his three score years and ten; another
and another, and still with no pause for repairs,
or to cool its burning axles, the journeys end is
not attained. The fifth mans dying eyes are
looking forward millions of miles for the jour
ney's end. But we are here talking of seven
hundred millions, not of ninety FIVE.
For n hundred years and more, churches have
been gathering property in the United States.
Subscriptions have been nobly decided, dying men
left their accumuations to their loved churches,
and in all this time the evangelical churches have
got together about fifty millions of property
not enough to pay the price of victory for one
month.
We have a missionary society. 1t gathers
each year from nearly million of people 1t
throws its benefcent influences into nearly every
part of the world. But its whole yearly reve-
nue. would endure the draft of the United
States Treasury only one hour Of the ten in a
day.
Seven hundred thousand men are drawn from
the pursuits of industry. 1t is far more impov-
erishing than if million Of paupers were thrown
on US to support, for then the laborers and pro-
ducers would remain at work. Now they are far
worse than idle. Their weapons are costly equip
ments, the standard perishability, harvests per
ish, and cities are ruined by their presence.
England is contributing fearful amounts of
want and Starvation to swell the price of victory
France loses the sale of twenty-five millions of
its wares; and interior Europe and parts of Asia
are paying portions of this stupendous cost of
victory

instrumentalities IS to make it endless and to
make an end of the Union. To pursue it on
constitutional and common sense principles-to
contemplate no termination of it which shall not
embrace the unconditional laying down of their
arms by the rebels-to punish the guilty leaders
of the rebellion, but to invite the masses of the
Southern people back to their LOYALTY by assur-
ances that they will come back as citizens of SOW
ereign States and not as subjects of military
provinces governed by Federal satraps-these
are not only the sole, but they are the sure in
strumentaIities of an early peace and restored
Union.
If the Union were nothing, and if the war did
cost nothing it might not be the highest of
crimes to use the engine of partisan
prejudice and passion. If the Southern people
were foreign enemies whose country it was neces
sary we should occupy measure of self pro-
lection and safety, it might not be abominable
sin to wage war of utter determination against
them. If the most vital interests of the white
people of this continent were not involved in the
question of negro emancipation, decree of such
emancipation, unconstitutional though it be-
might not be regarded with unqualified dread
and horror But the Union is worth preserving;
if it be not, liberty is not. The Southern people
not foreign enemies-if we shall have the
Union hereafter, we must have them as fellow
citizens. The most vital interests of the white
people of this continent are involved in the ques-
ton of negro emancipation, and therefore it is
that all right minded men regard with unquali
fed dread and horror decree of such emancipa-
ton.
Mere party lines will do nothing in this contest
at the ballot box for the Union, and we rejoice,
with joy that we can scarcely express, that
these lines have ceased to bind men in Congress.
The defeat in the Senate on Saturday of the rad
ical confscation bill, and the substitution for it
of a measure that does not bristle with hatred
and revenge, is most hopeful and cheering sign.
Let all good men in the country, as they have in
the Senate. unite against the bad men whose only
rule of action is prejudice and passion, hatred
and reyenge.-ChicagO Times.

The south to be given mp TO Negroes

1t is no part of the policy of the Republican
Abolitionists to send the negroes away out of the
country. 1t is the covert design to give them
possession of the Southern States Every means
is to be used to aggravate, instead of putting
down the rebellion, so to afford plausible ex
cuse for general confiscation, emancipation and
destruction ofSouthern property, which will tend
to virtual extrmination of the white race in
that quarter. Then, it is proposed to give the
country to the blacks This is the key to the
constant harping upon the loyalty of the negroes
and the necessity of freeing them Immediately
and putting arms into their hands.
In the view of the Abolitionists, if the Union
should be re-established and slavery abolished
without exterminating the whites in the South,
slavery might again resume its sway over the
blacks. In order to prevent this result, their
plan is to destroy the old Union by annihilating
some. if not all, the slaveholding States, and so
weaken the whites by extermination and other
means, as to render, if possible, their political
power a nnllty. If this is not enough, they say
they will havea sufficient force kept in the South
to maintain the freedom of the blacks. Thus,
for the sake of the negro, States to be blotted
out, the Union come to naught, and the blacklist
despotism established over white men.-Ohi0

what Mr.. Lincoln sand.

In his speech at Springfield, Illinois, June
IL, 1858, at the close of the convention which
selected him as candidate for United States Sen
ator, Mr.. Lincoln made the following declaration,
as reported at the time:
"ln my opinion it slavery agitation will not
cease until a crisis shall have been reached ard
passed. house divided against itself can not
stand. | believe this Government can not en-
dure permanently half slave and half free. do
not expect the Union to be dissolved-I do not
expect the house to fall-but do expect it will
cease to be divided. 1t will become all one thing
or all the other
"Either the opponents of slavery viii arrest the
further spread of it, and place it where the public
mind shall rest in the belief that it is in the
course of ultimate extinction; or its advocates
will push it forward until it shall become alike
lawful in all the States-old as well as new
North as well as South"
The Progressive Friends, or Quakers, at their
interview with the President last week, presented
a written memorial to him on the subject of
emancipation by proclamation, in which they
quote the first paragraph of the foregoing extract
from his speech. In reply, the President, among
other things, observed according to the Tribune
that ''that the quotation in the memorial, from
hisSpring6eld speech, was incomplete. 1t should
have embraced another sentence, in which he in
dicated his views as TO the effect upon slavery it.

The sentiments contained in that passage were

der the ruling of the Senate in the late Stark case
any of them could come back and take their seats
in Congress again. This was also rejected on the
final passage of the bill.
Sumner said lie voted aye not because he
thought the Senate bill amounted TO much, but
because it would go to the other House and to
their irmness he trusted for chance for some
thing better. Lane voted aye, adding: 'but the
things damned humbug" Some OF those who
opposed the Senate bill, nevertheless think more
favorably of it than Lane, and say it is much bet
ter than none There is little hope, however, for
confscation, but in a Committee of Conference.
