An IMPORTANT Conference.-The
Chicago Tribune having publishcd.a gar
bled and untrue report of the remarks of
Capt. Gregg, made in Chicago while on
his way home from his southern captiv;-
ty, aboitioists here and everywhere got
up and swung their hats over what they
thought was a new convert to their JAG.
oibn plans to overturn anb override the
constitution of the United States. This
was too much for him to qietly endure,
and he has sent us the following card
correcting the false report. He occupies
the precise ground Of the great democrat
ic Union aud conservative hosts who are
for carrying on the war and using every
possible means of putting down the re-
bellion, as he says, "within the constitu-
ton When that brave and gallant SOL
der fails to uphold and defend the consti-
tuition of his adopted country, at home or
in the field, the Jacobin abolitionists NAV
claim him as a convert-not before. The
following is Capt. Gregg's card:
"MR EplroR-I am fully aware that
any opinion OF mine on the political top
les of the day is OF very little Importance,
vet | am DESTROYS, when do express an
opinion, and it is published. to be right
upon the record. In the Chicago Tribune $
report of the few remarks made by me at
Bryan Hall, on Tuesday evening 2lst,
am made to say, 1--WE are abolitionists,' -
1t should be " The South recognise no
democrats. We are all abolitionists-
in their opinion"
81 find no fault with the Tribune re-
porters, because my remarks were very
disconnected and angular, owing to my
anxiety to be in time for the train.
81 wish to be clearly understood, how
ever. If to save this Union, it becomes
necessary that every slave in the South
should be emancipated, whether by mil
itary necessity, or in any other way, within
the constitution, am for it, and if that is
abolitionism, am one. T. GREce.

A gentleman who has Just returned
from the borders of Pennsylvania relates
the following:
After the rebel army left Chambers
burg on their way towards Gettysburg,
when about twelve miles distant from the
former place, they met large funeral pro-
cession, which they ordered to come to a
halt. Dismounting from their own horses,
they selected fortythrce ofthe best horses
in the procession, and amongst them the
horse attached to the hcarse. No yiolen-
&c was used; but on. the contrary, the
greatest politeness was displayed towards
the surprised mourners. At length one of
the funeral escort demanded to know by
whose orders their horses were thus taken.
The reply was: by order of Gen. Nc
Clellan; they are wanted for the armv."
As soon as the funeral horses were propcr-
" secured by their captors, they pursued
their way to the Potomac, leaving the al.

LYMAN TKEMArNE at a Democratic
meeting in 1861, made the following
assertion:
81 wish to say that, traitorous though
it may be, stand here to oppose the
policy OF war with the South, now,
hereafter and forever"
He is now the Republican candidate
for 1t. Governor of New York.
The Washington Republican, the organ
of the Emancipation party, fearful that
Seymour may be elected, advises the Gov
eminent with its green backs to come to
his relief Here is what it SAYS:
''Unless the most earnest cxcrtions be
made in Gen. Wadsworth's behalf, the
cause of the Union stands more than q
far chance of cncountcring heavy blow
and great Encouragement in his person.
Let all the influence Of the government
depa fp,ents therefore be placed literally
at his disposal"
Glorious, isn't it!

PRopnEsY or GEN. JACKsoN.-Said
the old hero to friend at the Herme-
tape a short time before his death
'sThe abolition party is a disloyal or
ganization. Its pretended love ct free
dom means nothing more nor less than
civil war and dissolution of the Union.
Honest men of all parties should unite
to expose their intentions and arrest
their progress"
Time has proven that the old veteran
knew pretty nearly what he was talking
about.

ais are made.
The Helena correspondent of the Chi
cago Times says:
Cotton buyers are not 30 numerous
as few weeks since. The supply Of
the 'fibre" in the immediate vicinity
has become exhausted, and it is by no
means safe to venture any distance into
the country without strong escort; and
as the officers who "most did speculate
have gone with the column that has
been ordered away, escorts are not so
easily obtained as formerly.
Apropos ofthe cotton trade, notice
TIL at a certain Colonel of an Illinois reg
meut has just been appointed Briga-
der General for (as the newspapers say
"his gallant conduct in the battles IN
Arkansas under Gen. Curtis" Now
this embryo General may be gallant and
brave enough. l am not disposed to
question tho bravery Of any man who
has not been tried For such is the case
with the officer alluded to. speak ad-
versely when say that, in his life, he
"never set a squadron in the field" new
| er saw a battle in his life, and, while he
has been promoted, there arc officers in
the service, and in his corps, who took
the field when the first gun was fired,
| have ever since done hard service, have
felt the shock and crash Of actual con-
tliot, have served faithfully and well, are
now commanding brlgades, and still
wear tho eagles Of Colonel. Now
for the solution Of this: From the time
of the arrival OF this army at Helena,
the officer to whom | refer has been i'm
nersed "head and ears" in cotton spec
| ulation. lis has taken men in the SER
vice Of the Government to load cotton,
seized in the name Of the Government,
into Government wagons, and, guarded
by soldiers detailed BY himself for that
purpose, has hauled his booty to the
river, shipped and sold it, and pocketed
the money. In this way he has cleared
more than one hundred thousand dol
lars. Money procures friends, and
friends procure military appointments.
This is all wrong. 1t is Of the utmost
Importance that the command Of our
troops in the field should be given to
men who have displayed the military
ability to handle them, and that they
should receive the honors Of their rank
and position. 1t is Illuminating to wit
ness the reckless scramble tor the
"loaves and fishes" the emoluments OF
office, which has characterized almost
every department Of our military organ
ization ever since the commencement OF
this unhappy war. And let this course
continre-let seifshness hold high car
nival over patriotism and devotion to
our country-and we ask in vain,

New YORK, Nov. 24.-The steamer Ariel
has arrived from Aspinwall, with $942, 900 in
specie. The report that Mosquera has entire
possession of Antique is confirmed. The
lives and property of all citizens who have
been in arms were guaranteed and passports
Were given to those who wished to leave.
The civil war is about ended. Quite num-
Der of vessels have been wrecked on the
South American coast.
A Panama letter says among the passengers
in the Ariel for New York is Mr.. Mrckie, OF
the department of state, who brings the latest
intelligence from Bolivar. Mr.. NJ. reached
La Paz on the 18th of October, when presi-
dent Acha opened his batteries upon the city.
Next day, after a severe fight of six hours.
his troops carried the town by storm, with a
loss Of 800 killed and mortally wounded. Mr..
Mackie entered the city with the troops, and
found Mr.. Carter, u S. minister, in the pal
AGO, administering to the comfort of the dying
and wounded He had been so engaged dur
ing the fight. Gen Perez and other leaders
of the rebellion escaped on the night of the
18th. The president displayed much modera-
ton after capturing the rebellious capital. No
punishment was inflicted, although the presi-
dent demanded $4,000 ransom for an infiu-
entail gentleman under Mr.. Mackie's prdtec-
ton. The feeling against foreigners is in
tense, and they have already suffered in prop
erty. Fears were entertained of an attack
on their persons.

ST.. LOUIS, Nov. 24.-The Democrat of
this city has information that the rebels are
busily at work terrifying Port Hudson, $50
miles from New Orleans. The same engi-
neers who laid out the work at Vicksburg
have just completed plan Of Qualifications at
Port Hudson; ten or twelve guns are now is
position, and in two weeks from the present
time Port Hudson will be as strong as Vicks-
burg, and prove serious bar to the ascent of
rear admiral Farragut's fleet
The rebels are now running steamboats,
from Port Hudson 10 Lake Providence, dis
lance of more than three hundred miles. The
rebels are also running boats on the Red river,
bringing immense supplies of cattle from
Texas, and large quantities of salt from the
new salt works on Red river, which are stu
ated about so miles above the mouth. 1t is
stated that these works produce 10000 bush
els of salt daily, all of which is rapidly sent
east via Vicksburg. One object of the torti-
fications at Port Hudson is to prevent the
Federal forces from marching on these salt
works

CAPE RACE, Nov. 24.-The steamship Ara

10Th, passed this point this morning, and was
boarded by the news yacht of the Associated
Press.
ENGLAND.-The English government has
| dissented from the French proposal for media
ton. The London Gazette publishes Earl
Russell's official reply, dated Nov. ID. 1t re-
capitulates the circular of Drouyn De Hugs,
proposing mediation. 1t recognize the hui
name views and benevolent intentions of the
emperor; observes that the concurrence of
Russia would be expressly desirable, but that
up to the present time the Russian govern
ment had not agreed to actively cooperate,
although it may support the endeayors OF Eng
land and France Earl Russell then commends
the decision of her majesty's government, as
follows :-':After weighing all information re-
ceived from America, the government is LED
to conclude that there is no ground, at the
present moment, to hope that the fed
eral government would accept the proposal
suggested, and a refusal from Washington at
the present time would prevent any speedy
renewal of the offer of the government"
Therefore he thinks it better to watch care
fully the progress of opinion in America, and
if, as there appears reason to hope, it may be
found to have undergone or may undergo any
change, this government may then avail
themselves of such change to offer their
friendly counsel with greater prospect then
now exists of its being accepted by the two
contending parties. Her majesty's govern
ment will communicate to the French gov
eminent any intelligence that it may receive
from Washington or Richmond bearing on
this important subject.
FRANCE.-The Moniteur says that the an
swers of England and Russia are an adjourn
ment of the American question of mediation.
The Moniteur adds of our information is
correct the hesitation of England and Russia
nearly reaches its limits. The recent cleo
tons testify the progress of the peace opinion
which appears likely to command a majority
in the next congress"
CHINA.-An engagement had taken place
near Rungpoo between the rebels and the
American Gen. Ward, contingent in which
Ward was killed. The rebels had arrived in
great force, determined to take Rungpoo. A
dreadful political murder has been committed
in Japan. A lady and three gentlemen were
attacked by Adanno and Retires on the high
road. Charles Lennox and Richardson of
Shanghai were murdered the rest escaped.
The vengeance of foreign powers was averted
by the British minister, whose interference in
the affair caused considerable Indignation.
