The secret History Of General Hun.
teesa Order


tSIy VB00Ye
.lHsuoAhs MI. Sss,nal - Osonssss.]
The secret history sof the Hunter
general order semains to be written, and
Ne are entirely conf dent that ifthe Pres
ideut OF the United States we're aware Of
the facts there would be stir in New
York before many days. Il is worthy
Of notice that in his proclamation, the
President treats the order az one Of
which. he has no official knowledge, and
it would therefore appear that the War
Department has not received from Gen.
Hunter any report of his extraordinary
proceeding. This is q very curious fact
when connected with the commonly re.
ceiyed history Of the reception Of the
order in this city. It is currently re-
ported that printed slips we're sent from
Port Royal to certain office-holders and
well-known radical politicians in New
York, more or less Of which we're d.
rected in the handwriting Of Gen. Hon
ter himself, SO that it would appear that
the subordinates Of the President we're
in actual correspondence with the Gen.
eral when the President was excluded
from his confidence 1t 10 even said
that the Collector of this port received
a COPY Of the order from General Hun
ter. and knew Of its issue. while the
President Of the United States was
compelled to issue proclamation on
vague statement Of its appearance in the
newspapers.
The receipt Of the printed slips was
the signal for general gloritication 10
radical Giro les. The order was copied
in manuscript, and circulated from hand
to hand 10 New York for few hours
before it appeared in the evening pa
pers. Grave doubts of its genuineness
were expressed by all who had not seen
the originals, but some of the gentlemen
holding these were in high glee, and
very boldly declared that the ord er was
genuine, and, more than that, that the
President could not possibly revoke or
modify it.
All this leads to a suspicion that
there may be truth in the idea which is
now freely circulated and very generally
believed, that Hunters order was &C.
tually concocted IN New York, and that
the General was led into the scrape by
some old political managers here.

GOV. ANDREWS PROvIsO.
Elsewhere 10 publish the response q
the Governor Of Massachusetts, 10 an
sxer to IN inquiry from the Adjutan'
General rels,ive to raising troops. We
recommend it to the attentive perusa
OF all.
Hitherto it has been the boast of the
abol.tionists and Republicans generally
that they were unconditional Union
men. but in this remarkable document
by the Massachusetts Governor We find
that there is . decided opposition te
the restoration Of the Union under the
provisions Of the present Constitution
Governor Andrew made it condition
to the furnishing OF troops, that the un'
constitutional and impolitic proclams
ton Of Gen. Hunter shall be endorsed
by the President. He, in other words
calls upon the President to disregard
the laws Of the land, pe1ure himself
and make the war . special abolition
John Brown raid.
This is precisely what the abolition
party Of the North asks for. Hitherto
they have been tardy about speaking
right out what they mean. Governor
Andrew has taken the initiative. lie
will find numerous supporters. 1t will
exactly suit that style Of politicians.
1t is remarkable, however, that in
the same hour when the disunion Gov
ernor of Massachusetts was asking the
President to endorse General Hunters
disreputabIe production, President Lin
coin was writing a document over his
own seal and signature, setting the pro-
clamation at naught, and condemning it
as entirely illegal and improper. Mark
the difference between the two acts Of
the same hour. The one asking that
the law of the land be trampled under
foot; the other upholding the Constitu.
ton and declaring that he will discoun.
tcnance any attempt to subvert it. The
one is disciple Of the "Higher Law"
the other confines himself to the law
given us by our fathers. Which of the
two will the people Of the United States
sustain?
As to raising sufficient troops to meet
the demands of the hour-to uphold
the government and put down rebellion,
We have not the slightest idea that the
President will find any difficulty. If
abolitionsts refuse to enter the field ex.
cept upon such conditions as this man
Andrews and his confreres set forth, we
are Of the opinion that enough can be
found among the loyal population to
throttle the monster. There are loyal
men enough in this country to force
obedience to the laws. Let the traitors
stay at home if they will; there are
plenty Of Democrats and conservative
Republicans to do all the fighting, and
st.aiyhten out this little difficulty of
Oars.
LIE. this issue be made-let the ADOLF
ton party Sustain Gen. Hunter" if they
will they will find that the Government
will not succumb to their demands, nor
wi! the old Constitution perish for want
Of stout arms and loyal hearts to up
hold it even to the last extremity Of the
bitter end.
TOWARDS the preservation of your
government" are the words Of Wash.

Something Moro About the Merrimac.
A letter from Norfolk, in the Phila-
dclphis Inquirer Of yesterday morning,
gives these interesting facts about the
Merrimac, in addition TO those which We
published yesterday:
From a Mr.. Diggs, who has suffered
everything for thirteen months past, in
the way Of levies, persecution and the
like, obtained the following statement
in regard to the Merrimac. Mr.. Diggs
was one of the head workmen in the
Gosport Navy Yard, under the United
States Government, and, at the rate pro-
visions were selling, had to continue his
occupation under the Confederates or
starve. He assisted in cutting down and
fitting up the Merrimac. He says that
her top was flat and covered with gra-
ting made Of several layers Of "a inch
square bar iron, strongly riveted and
bolted together. Her roofing consisted
first of l5.inch rafters of O.inch thick.
ness, and lying close side by side.
Across these, lying fore and aft, was a
roofing of five-inch pine plank, up and
down. This made roof of two feet
thickness of solid wood, all firmly bolted
and barred together, the whole being Sc.
cured and steadied by stong iron braces
and bolts, running crosswise as well as
fore aad aft. Next, on top of the oak
plank, came layer oftwo-inchi iron, the
bars running fore and aft. Across this
was another layer ofiron, same thickness
up and down.
he saw her when she returned after
her first fight with the Monitor, and the
injury done her was as follows:
One gun was broken short off near the
"truuions," and another broken oblique.
~, about Is inches from the muzzle. Her
stem was smashed so that the wood could
be strung out like ball OF thread and
they had to squeeze whole bale Of oak
UNI into it to stop the leak-the plank.
ing being sprung off and gaping wide
Quite number of the Monitors shots
ploughed up the roofing, SO thai you
could lay large watermelon in the
spot where the shot had struck. Upon
making inquiry, he learned that two mer
were killed, but he thinks there must
have been more. He says, had the Mon
itor followed her up, she could have cap
tured the rebel bug bear in another b al
hour; and yet the rebels would boas
about her being able to whip halt a dozer
