Object of the French Minister'S VisIt to
Richmond.

From the New York Times
The object of the visit Of the French min.
lister to Richmond was to assure the rebels that
the Emperor Of the French does not recoqnize them
a pot0er among tie nations; that England and
France, by recognizing them as belIigerents,
did all that could be expected on the part 0i
neutral governments that The blockade of their
ports is e8ectuaL; that they are fairly beaten in
arms, and their independence as a nation impossi-
BILE; that a continuance of hostilties, by the
threatened destruction of the cotton and to
bacco crops OF their citizens, would only be
wanton injury to the commerce of the world,
injurng France and England even more than
the United States; and that resort to guer-
rilla warfare, as proposed, when their armies
are destroyed, would demoralize society, and
be simply return to barbarism
The rebels have been admonished, there
fore, that a cessation Of hoStititieS is dlty Mey
QUE to themselves and to the World, which all civ
ilzed nations will unite in requiring of them.
AT the same time, to save their honor and
their existence as a free people, the French
emperor has assured them that civilized Eu-
rope will not approve the enforcement Of any
hard terms on them by the United States ;
that their society shall not be disorganized
their industry shall not be overthrown their
families shall not be impoverished by general
and indscriminate confiscations of their prop
erty and that Mr.. Lincoin's administration
will be held to a faithful observance of the
programme with Which he appealed to Europe
for torbearance al the outbreak OF the rebel
lion, to wit, 4 restoration of the Union on the
basis Of The constitution wilh tie inherent rights Of
all the states preserved.
When M. MERCER returned from making his
communication at Richmond most significant
events followed. He was borne to Washing
ton on French war vessel, the deck of which
is the "soil OF France" This is the first time
in history of the close meeting OF the two
sovereignties. The president and Mr.. Sew
ard received NJ, MERCER at the navy yard, on
his approach to the capital-a distinguished
hOnor-and when the president stepped on
the deck OF The Gassendi, he was welcomed
by salute equal in honor to that accorded to
the emperor. That was not tribute to the
head OF dismembered country, but to the
chosen ruler OF one OF the first powers Of the
world tried in the cruCi6le of war and found
triumphant. Within day or two after the
return to Washington, the ambassador Of
France is entertained at dinner in noble style
by the secretary of state, and the president
and his premier exhibit that remarkable Sc
renity which says to all the world, owe are
masters of the position"

As We Expcc,et,.

ea The New York Tribune Of the oath
inst, says: .',..''i' ,...'sf
"Our difference with, General Mcclellan.
If difference there be, relates to the. spirit IN
which the war, should be waged and the end
which the Unionists should contemplate" ~
~ That is Just what We expected, and
we honor You for the frankness of the
acknowledgment. Many of your sat
elites, who are abusing and denouncing
the General, aendeaYoring to procure
his dismassal ndsdisgrace, by carping
at the MANNER in which he carriesgo on
the war, have not the honesty to admit
that that is but the cover for and not
the real ground of censure. General
McCiellan IS offensive to the radical
Kepqblicans, not because he does not
carry On, the, war effectively, but for
the reason that he aims at the restora-
ton of the Union under the old Con-
stitution, while they deem the eman-
cipationofgth the slaves the great, if not
the only object Of the struggle. Gen.
erar McClellan'is forkecping faith with
the people, who were told, when the
war commenced, that It ihad but sone
object, the restoration, of the Union,
while they are for perfdiously breaking

! Rot satisfied.


.u The recent decisive victories of the
federal army, are hardly more unwel-
come to the Secessionists than to the
Abolitionists. Seek as they may to
disguise it, the '.irrepressibles" have
no wish to have this war brought to a
close until slavery is overthrown
throughout the South. 1t was their
zeal for this object, and not their love
for the Union which our fathers estab>
lished that has made the "irrepressi-
bles" SO fierce for the war. If the
Union is held together and slavery
preserved, the result will prove worse
than gall and wormwood to the Aboli-

nfpIt must not be thoupht-

| HEg~ 1t must not be thought-re-
marks a cotemporary-that all is done
when our triumphant columns shall
have dispersed the insufrectionary
bands which SO long impeded their
march. Victory is not always synon-
ymous with peace. We must remem-
Der that after we shall have drawn
back the misguided Southerners into
the Union folds, we shall have to live
with them as brothers and equals, and
that insome sense their allegiance must
be voluntary in order that the conncc-
tion may be mutually beneficial. The
aim ought to be to conciliate rather
than destroy-to show that whilst re-
slstance to the authority of the gov
eminent will be vain and suicidal, the
government is not a tyrant, as design
ing men have said, but political Or
ganization to protect all rights. Let
it be shown that the objects of the 10y
al people have been slandered by the
disunion leaders-that we never inten-
ded, never wished, to oppose the inhab-
itants of any section, or render their
citizenship burdensome or distasteful.
Above all should it be demonstrated
that the Unionists are not gang Of
slave robbers or abolition incendiaries.
So will the erring soon see their error,
and brotherly cordiality, fraternal har,
mony, seal the pernanence Of the re-
united States. H s9s ,y.s N fssse.-,i ,i.

Forney ON Hreckinridcc.

The reelection Of Mayor Sanderson
in the city of Lancaster, has afforded
that virtuous man, John w. Forney, an
other opportunity to attack what he
calls the Breckenridge Democracy
Breckenridge is a traitor, and every
Democrat in the free. States who does
not believe in the immaculate Forney,
is necessarily friend Of the revolted
Kentuckian, and consequently trail
tor too. In this way the plant tool of
Forrest, succeeds in proving that a ma
jority Of the voters Of the city Of Ian
caster, are like Breckenridge, traitors
to the Union. Why, among the most
notorious toadies, who hung upon the
skirts of John G. IBreckinridge, this
audacious Forney was always the most
conspicuous. The "courtly Breckin-
ride,", and such terms of imperial en-
dearment, daily decorated the columns
of the Press, in its sickly adulation of
that crafty politician. Forney, Dan
Sickles, the Chevalier Wykof,, and
their set Of exemplary and virtuous
politicians were the genteel coterie
which regarded Breckenridge as its pc
euliar representative AS for Judge
Douglas, he understood the virtuous
John; he trusted him as much as he
did "adders fanged. and just about
as much as the friends of the deceased
trust Forney now. t'''E ~ 44.i" sGe'3n
% It is very evident, from the frequent
spasmodic efforts Of Forney, to alarm
the people against the ''Breckinridge.
D Democracy meaning thereby all
those whom he cannot carry with him
in his pilgrimage to the camp of Black
Republicanism-that Abolitionism in
his opinion at present, is resting upon
a weak foundation. We appreciate
his osensitiveness upon these points. -
It would be a lamentable thing, as he
suggests, if the Democracy of Penn
sylyania should again become dominant,
because in that event it might, assist in
lifting the disinterested and patriotic
Forney. from the snug little sinecure he
so handsomely fills in the United States
Senate. q Forney' apprehensiono the
rebel leaders being restored to power
in the Union through the efforts of the
Northern Democracy is quite tender,
indeed; and exhibits unusual sagacity
in that vigilant sentinel on the watch
towers Of our suffering country. Long,
may he wave; public virtue, like his, is
very rare, and we should endeayor to
lift ourselves to its sublime and charm-
ing comprehension. Pitts. Post, Doug

An Elephant won.

The Port Royal correspondent Of
the New York Times writes as follows.
''The contraband question is getting to be
knotty problem for General Sherman. He
has written repeatedly for Constructions, % but
the Administration have not replied to his
letters. What will he do with it?' is a puz.
zle to himself. - s s5 't2
/ -"The fact is that the Government has a
large.sized elephant on its hand, and it is
difficult to say what must be done with the
negroes and the Sea Island plantations. Ten
thousand contrabands within our lines. and
their number increasing daily by accessions
from the main, are TO be fed and clothed
The planting season is at hand. The cattle
have been driven off, most OF them killed,
and the corn used up for forage" -
Those Abolition and Republican
editors who have insisted that our
Generals should rattle for the elephant,
ought, in justice to General Sherman,
since he won it, to tell him what to. do
with it and where to keep it. a5 4
The folly of the whole Abolition
business is well exemplifed by this
Port Royal operation. The sensible
plan is to let the negro slaves remain
where they are. As for the contrabands
we have got, the Northern Abolition>
lists ought to support them.

entered the army, and ofthat corporation Mr.
Barlow was Vice President" i.

aI HE
I A fair-minded person-one not rabid
with hate and full of slander-would
have found in the fact that Mr.. Bar
low and General McC Clellan had been
connected with the management ofthe
same railroad an explanation of their
personal relations. But the Tribune
descends to the vulgar atrocity of sta
ting in a paragraph bristling with ma
'lignant suggestions, that Mr.. Barlow,
when at Washington, in attendance
upon the Railway Convention, was a
guest at Gen. McClellan's house. Hav-
ing in the first part of its article plain
ly asserted that Mr.. Barlow is falsi-
fer, it proceeds to attach Importance
to his alleged declarations that Gen.
Mcclellan agrees with him on the sla-
very question, and the insinuation is
that the General, like his old railroad
associate, is a sympathizer with seces-
sion. This business of holding one.
for the antecedents and
opinions of his personal acquaintance,
and thrusting into his face any. injudi-
cious and offensive remarks they may
have made, is only possible where the
assailant has lost all sense of Justice
and abdicated his manhood. The work
of reckless detraction will probably go
on. Where a temper SO spiteful is
and such materials are en-
ployed the fund of SANDER must be
sag
1t is some satisfaction to feel that no
more adespicable SANDERS than those
already propagated can be devised; and
that the malignants who have aban-
loned all remorse, and are insensible
o shame, will in good time be held to
! rigid accountability for all the evil I
they have wrought, as they already re-
,eiYe the hearty scorn Of all honest
nen not bewildered by their Satanic
in the, dark womb of detrac-
ion. s,i 8antt 3si9pf .si.s.sS g8,lfa7 /

who was on his way to Washington, to
enter upon his duties as neof the Uni

is in the enjoyment of excellent health,
and has high hopes of the speedy sup

ration of the Uaion. While decidedly
and bitterly opposed to secession and
its leaders, he entertains the kindest
feelings towards the people of the
