down the railroad toward Corinth, for

of Gen. Halleck to have the road from

short time. The Tennessee river is
now becoming low and its navigation
difficult, so this measure is necessary

make it the subject of grave ministerial
animadyersion in the councils of the

mise, the noble lord has made the above

him appear more on the level of a clown

Creeks or istheir councils. than they
were in the Congress Of the United
States And this. too. right on the
heels Of the war we had just fought
against the tyrany Of "taxation without
representation r. But the Slave Power
never staggered at Inconsistencies and
duplicity. but marched ahead to lis
purpose unfalteringly. no difference
what professions or principles were
trampled under foot by it. And this
has been its history to the present
time-the existing rebellion.
BY another provision Of this treaty
Which was secret. the United States
stipulated to pay the Greeks fifteen
hundred dollars annually for all time to
come" Why this article was secret
We do not know: but it probably ex-
plains how the Indians we're bought up
to become .catchers. 1t shows
that the public treasury was robbed 10
pay for fugitive slaves: and that nigh,
have been another reason Tor its secrecy.
We have already spoken Of the diff
culiies which then surrounded the new
and untried government. and how ne
cessary it was TO avoid all internal strife
and commotion. As the cormorant
Slave Power neuer released its claims
or lessened its demands. the govern
ment must concede or turmoil ensue.
And this beginning of the Slave Power
has been the keynote Of its music ever
since. 1t has ever put its demands in
ore scale, and discord and disunion in
the other, and demanded of the gov
ernment and people to choose between
The two.
Another object Of the treaty was to
secure the exposed frontier from the
ravages of savage warfare, which was
commendable.
But the claim to bind the Seminoles |
bv this action Of the Greek chiefs was
an unmiiigated outrage. and utterly
beneath the dignity Of our government.
The Creek chiefs had no more power to |
biud the Seminoles, who lived under |
Spanish rule, than they had to bind the
inhabitants Of Spain itself.
We shall probably look little fur.h-
er into this matter hereafter.

| NEW YORK, July 3.
A letter to the Tribune dated For,

tage. nothing has occurred in the neigh
bOrhood Of Richmond since my last.
The rebel army appears to have fallen
back toward the city, and Gen. Nc
Clellan is now in position well en-
trenched. The apprehension that the
rebels would stretch themselves down
the Peninsula. and possibly attempt to
blockade with land batteries the James
river. has not as yet been realized.
Our force at Yorktown is evacuting
the place and most Of the guns have been
burst. The rebel prisoners do not
claim victory. but confess to have
failed in the object Of their attacks COM
menced on Thursday last week. in which
their loss was confessedly much greater
than ours. including many officers OF
high rank. iA

daiion.
The statement that Gen. Mcclellan

men is an exageration.
