Wherever there is neither slavery nor prosla-
very sentiment, there is neither rebellion trea
son. Wherever there is slavery there are rebels;
and where slavery has friends, thereis disl0yalty
to the Republic. There is no exception to this
rule. 1t applies not only to the South. but to the
North--not only to the entire States, but to sub
divisions Of States. In Delaware where the slaves
are TO the whole population as one to sixty, the
traitors are few and timorous. Most OF them re.
side In single county; and that county contains
three tourths Of the slavesin the State 1t is the
same in Maryland; the slave districts are the dis
tricts infested with treason. Virginia, Missouri,
Kentucky, Tennessee-in these states the diyi.
ding lines between loyalty and rebellion are still
more plainly visible and distinguished by the same
popularity. Go into the planting regions of the
Cotton States, where the sum of all vilainies has
done It's perfect work, where the human under
standing has become so dagkened that its light is
Us darkness-and behold how treason clusters
around the slave,shamb es-how patriotism is hush
ed into the silence Of death-hOw the Union is be
come kissing and bywOrd-how hatred Of lin
erty eats into the soul of the ruling caste, gnaws
like the worm which dieth not, and burns like the
fire which is not quenched. And there are fools
who say slavery Is not the cause of the Southern
rebellion !-Chzcago Tribune.

There is not man in the Union, who has in
past years been known as u Republican, who
is now secessionist, or in sympathy with Sc
cession. On the other hand, there is not an
open secessionist, or sympathiser with seces
sion, who has not heretofore claimed 10 be a
Democrat These are statements which no
man win attempt to conuoyert. The present
rebellion no where finds favor among those who
have heretofore been. known as Republicans
Every Republican il the land IS loyal TO the
Governments and it is but justice to say, that
very many Democrats arc equally loyal but it
IS equally true, that every rebel general, every
rebel political leader, every potter Of treason,
is boaster Of Democracy. In whatever state
or locality Democracy has foll sway, there sla-
very has strong friends, and there the spirit OF
disloyaltY is mora or less apparent There is
10 exception any where to be found to this rule
Of determining where the friends Of slavery and
as a consequence the a6etlors OF treason, may be
found. The mention Of these facts may be I'M
palatable, but no ore will attempt to gain say
hem.

brought to Chicago Oh Monday last, and taken
thence to Madison, by Coy. Saomon Attorney
Gen. Howe, Treasurer Hastings, Secretary Of
State Lewis, and others who were Al Chicago
TO meet the remains. The following are the
particulars of the recovery:
1t was first discovered on Sunday week, at a
point about two miles below place called
Britt'S Landing, and supposed to be from fifty
to sixty miles below Pittsburg Landing, by
negro and some children who were playing On
the bank of the river. The negro took from the
Governors person his watch and about $500
in money, retaining the watch himself and dis
Iibuting the money among the children. Fl,
then pushed the body into the river, but seeing
a steamboat approach, he again drew it back
and buried it in the sand
The fact Of these transactions was soon de-
Veloped to a Mr.. Singleton, farmer residing
about two miles from the Landing. who had
seen the drowning OF Gov Harvey announced
i'll the newspapers and he took immediate means
TO recover the money and watch, and exhume
the body. This he soon succeeded in doing,
and he then informed Mr.. Britt, the owner of
the Landing Of the transaction, and requested
him TO communicate with the first boat that
passed On Wednesday the steamer Lady Pike
reached the Landing, having on board Mr.. Mel
len the Government officer who is engaged in
the service of establishing post Offices, custom
houses, &c, in positions which have been re-
covered from the rebels. To this gentleman
Mr. Britt communicated the facts given above
and also sent two miles for Mr.. Singleton. The
boat, by order of Mr.. Meen, was Immediately
put back to the place where the body lay, some
two miles distant, the body taken on board and
conveyed to Pittsburg Landing reached there
on Thursday.
At that place, it was transferred to the steamer
Lacrosse, and with a guard of honor composed
of twenty soldiers of the 18th Wisconsin, regi-
ment, brought TO Cairo, where it was taken in
charge by Mr. Smith and Mr.. John Harry, and
bro't TO Chicago, as stated above
Mr.. Smith speaks in high terms of the con-
duct oil Mr.. Singleton-who declined to receive
any reward for his trouble Mr. Britt, Mr. Mel
len, and others who greatly assisted in recover
ing the body and the valuabIes and restoring
Them to those who were so deeply interested in
their recovery.

formerly resident of this city, where he had
many warm friends. He belonged to an Illinois
regiment, and was at the taking Of Fort Donel-

a few days previous the battle of Pittsburgh

This letter was. written, as will be seen, on

RESTRAINING AMERICAN COIN.

The seizure Of tho money at New Orleans
by Gen. Butler. which has created 50 much
feeling among the foreign consuls there, and
which specie has been claimed by the Dutch
Consul there as belonging to persons prop
perly under the protection Of his own Gov
ernment, has exposed shrewd trick which
ought to place the Cousul in question in a
rather sober predicament. The Washington
Star Of Saturday says that the pretense Of
that individual was utterly false, for his claim
that the eight hundred thousand taken from
his custody twas not the proceeds Of the
secesh robbery Of the United States mint,
but Mexican dollars really belonging to
Hope & Co., Of Amsterdam. has been fairly
exposed by microscopic examination of the
coin itself which shows underneath the i'm
preston Of the Mexican die, perfect eri.

coin. It was re stamped Gn New Orlean s.
