GREAT BRITAIN The London Times
In an editorial on the message of JEFF

as he has shown himself bold, determined
and unyislding in adversely. The Times

pays we'll offered tribute to the gallant
ry and good conduct OF his troops, de-
plores the desolation of war and expresses
confidence in the final triumph Of the
South, in her desperate struggle against
despotic usurpation.
The London Daily News, in reviewing
the message of JEFF Davis, says he has
attempted to present the character Of
moderation and dignity, but the fiery
and vindictiye spite that oozes through
the habitual calmness and reserve, is sig.
ni6cant of his exnsperated temper, If not
also of the character of the Southern Gov

which Davis inaugurates, and the afro.
clous measures which he recommends to
congress, and says that the treatment
threatened to the officers and troops who
may be captured, cause not only every
instinct of humanity and every sentiment
of justice to revolt at it, but it is an out
rage too much for civilization itself.

FROM WESTERN VIRGINIA.
Gallipolis, O., Sept. Is

We are yet without particulars of the
late battle. All accounts agree, however
that the enemy were severely handled and
with great slaughter.
Col. Lithburn gave the citizens O,
| Charleston one hours notice in which
to leave the town.
Refugees say our troops marched
through the streets of Charleston going
toward Elk River in admirable order,
marching through the streets with bands
playing in line of battle as on dress parade.
This place is full of refugees and contra
bands, who came down the kanawha in
every DIRECTION, most of whom are in des-
titu,c circumstances.
Col. Lithourn took the Ripley road going
toward Ravenwood on the Ohio. where he
arrived this evening, bringing his train
through in safety. steamers have been
sent to his assistance. Our loss is yet
unknown
The 47th Ohio, 9th Va, and one com
psny Of the I'd Va. cavalry, who were cut
of at Summcryille, succeeded in joining
Col. Llthburn, and were in the tight at
Charleston.
There were 500 sick and wounded sol.
dlers at this place. having been sent from
Charleston before the fight took place.
The churches. the school houses and court
house were full. The enemy are suppos-
ed to be moving slowly down the Kan
awha.

ANOTHER BATTLE REPORTED.
PHILADELPHIA. Sent. l6.

A special dispatch to the Bulletin from
Harrisburg says that telegraph and rail.
TOAD communication to Hagerstown waa
reopened last night. That place had
been totally abandoned by the rebels and
reoccupied BY our troops.
1t is rumored At Hagerstown that an
other battle is going on this morning be-
ween Sharpsburg and Middlstqwn, but
no particulars have been received.
Sharpsburg Is near the Potomac, about
III miles west of Middletown. 1t is not
that Mcclellan is engaging the
rebels in that neighborhood to-day and

The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1862-09-18
CONSERVING THE INTERESTS OF
THE ENEMY.

Our contemporary says We may fight the
enemy under Mcclellan, but we must not
insult them by having any such Generals
as Fremont and Hunter. (and he might
have added Butler, nor enrage them BY
confscating their property or meddling
with their slaves.
Our contemporary is impressed with the
idea that We ought not to do anything
likely to prove in the slightest degree Of.
fensive to the traitors, for thereby we
widen the breach and increase the diff
culties in the way Of compromise. He is
in favor Of the doughface kid glove policy
which has been pursued already for eigh-
teen months with such marked success
to the rebels. And in order to secure
the complete triumph of that policy he
insists that the fighting Generals should be
dismissed from the army, and that mem
bers Of Congress who are il favor of Z
war policy that will strike traitors where
it hurts, should be turned out. He wants
. Compromise, the restoration of the trai-
tor Slaveocaey Gin full feather" to the
control Of the whole country. Nothing
less will suit him. He wants it under
stood that this is an abolition war" and
he wants to condemn to present disgrace
and everlasting contempt the memory Of
the brave men who are fighting the bat
ties OF their country, or have shed their
blood in it's defence. He wants our Vol
unteers to do their own "digging'' and
to stand guard over the slaves, rail
fences and truck patches Of the wealthy
traitors who are fighting under JEFF,
Davis. The new policy of confscating
the property and appropriating the ser.
vices of the slaves of rebels, is making
traitors in Maryland and other border
States he asserts, and therefore the loyal
people Of tho North are exhorted to repu-
olate The supporters Of the Con6scation
blli' and to foot the expenses Of the war,
OH % thrtr own pockets AZ we'll as to diu
their own bitches while he ins;sts that
our Generals and our armies shall do their
bloody best to keep all the negroes Of the
South hard at work to raise supplies for
their Southern masters.
Such is an inkling Of the line of policy
insisted on by our Mahonyite Cotsmpo-
rary. The people Of Iowa, we opine,
VIII not DO struck either with the origin.

Harper's Ferry Captured-.Col.M MILES

Baltimore. Sept. is.

Passengers from the Monocacy report

Ferry, who report the surrender OF tina,

defense, and the death of Col. Miles, who
was killed bya she'll cutting off one of
his legs. According to report Col Miles
evacuated Maryland heights Saturday
evening, after exploding one Of his heavy
guns, and throwing others down the rocks.
The officers were allowed to 90 out with
their side arms, and the men with their
personal effects. which indicates that the
surrender was conditional.
The Railroad bridge and Potomac bridge
we're still standing, and the rebels were re-
ported to be evacuating Maryland heights.

The Presid cnt and his Party.

In very remarkable article, in the
last Wilkes Spirit of the Times, occurs
the following pregnant paragraph:
Personally, it is our great desire to sus-
tain The President, and we deplore the
opportunity nc has let 60 by to sustain
himself. AS strange philosophy as it
may seem for Democrat to hold, we re-
gard the fact of his being virtually isolat-
ed from his party, - the greatest danger
Of the State. Supported by great branch
of the American people, who, whether
their politics are right or wrong, are still
patriotic citizens, the President remains
an object Of power and respect but Ty-
lerized and alienated, he becomes merely
Abraham Lincoln, who cannot DO sup
ported in his errors, merely because he
failed in his good intentions. If be lose
the support of his own party, he cannot
count on the respect of ours aud it is
palpable to the simplest reasoner, that
man who is not backed by any organiza-
ton of the people cannot guide the nation
through these stormy times
There is solemn truth in this. No
President can carry on q government sue
cessfully without powerful party, and
no party uiH confde IN him but the one
lrhtcA elected him. Mr. Lincoln and his
administration must stand or fail with the
party which elected him. If lie breaks
with the Republicans, or Radicals, rs they
are called, he will have no party which
will trust him, confde in him, and cordi-
ally sustain him. We do not believe Mr..
Lincoln designs to break with his party.
but there are traitors and schemers who
are seeking to produce this result. and
they will stop ut no fraud, corruption.

to Congress
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1862-09-18

the Executive cannot lawfully transcend
that limit" And again, Chief Justice
Marshal expressly says:
1t appears TO the Court that the pow.
er of confscating an enemy's property is
in the legislature"
This was in q case where the officers Of
the Government had seized enemy's prop.
erty before any law had been passed by
Congress for its conGscation, and the de-
cision was clear that the power to confs.
cate was vested by the Constitution in
Congress.
Upon the Constitutional power of Con
gress to confscate the property of enc.
mics in arms against the Government in
time of war, there can be no doubt. And
if the traitor hosts of the South have not
made sufficiently bloody record to con-
stitute this war, and them enemies in
arms, then nothing less than the utter
destruction of our Government will suffice
to do it.
They are enemies of the deadliest and
most dangerous character, as the tens of
thousands of loyal men who have found
bloody graves at their hands. and the hun
dreds of thousands Of patriots who are
rallying to defend their country's flag.
amply testify. We lave, then, right to
treat them as enemies, not only on the
battlefield but in our Legislation for carry.
ing on the war, and after we shall subdue
them and overthrow their rebellion, we
have the right to treat them a rebels and
traitors, These are Constitutional Rights,
too, vouched by the laws Of Nations, the
practice of our own Government and the
express decisions of the Supreme Court
of the United States. There are no Con-
stitutionsl objections to Confscation, the
objections are simply political, and are
founded on the apprehension that the
slaveholding interests of the country viii
suffer from the policy of confscation.
Nobody doubts but that confscation of
the property of our enemy, and ifpractica-
BILE, would be one of the most effectual
war measures that could be resorted to-
The confscation of rebel property cna-
bles our army to obtain ito supplies with
out cost, from the enemy. That policy
would also enable us to raise sufficient
means, by the appropriation of the prop
erty of the enemy, to pay the expenses of
our armies in the field, aud thus to dimin-
ish, very materially, the expenses of the
war. While the appropriation of the
slaves, as we'll as the horses ard mules of
the enemy, to the use of our armies
would deprive the enemy of the force
which raises and transports the provisions
IF the housekeeping as well as the fight
ny population of the Confederate States.
Hence, We regard the policy of con6sca-
ton not only Constitutional, but wise and
patriotic.

A Chapter from Gen. Mcclellan
History.

dlotOFy.
George B. Mcclellan was born in o
Free State, and after receiving his edu.
cation at West Point, embarked upon the
world with lieutenantcy. He for a
long time preferred to take up his resi-
dence in the South, and soon became
conspicuously known rs man of Southern
proclivities and feelings
AT an early period, we find Mcclellan
deeply identified with Southern flibuster-
ing schemes, and finally trace him to a
prominent command in the Lone Star AS
ISOLATION. The objects Of that organixa-
ton were VIGOROUSLY, the expansion and
perpetuation Of American slavery, BY
the forcible conquest Of Cuba and it's an
nexation to the South; and it is plain that
McClellan, from his intimate intercourse
with the leaders of the movement, vas
fully versed in all the secret aims Of the
conspiracy. The Philadelphia Daily
News. of July 70, thus briefly states the
leading features of the movement:
General Quitman, of Mississippi, was
chosen Generalissimo, The five officers
next in rank to him were also to be
Americans. and officers of the regular
army. To General Quitman was conhded
the delicate duty, not Of selecting, but of
purchasing, the swords and hearts of
these.
"He was man of address The offer
was liberal. the terms being cash pay
ment Of $40 900, Cuban contingencies to
each, and he succeeded in completing
contracts with Albert Sidney johnson,
Gustayus W. Smith, Mansfield Lowell,
j. X. Duncan and George b. Mcclellan.
"Smith and Lowell received their mon
ey. resigned from the army and entered
upon their new duties. But before the
final arrangements we're consummated
with our future General-in- Chief, Secre-
tary Marcy, in violation of the plighted
faith of President Pierce (who was him
self fibuster) directed the Collector of
the Port Of Mobile to seize and detain
the two vessels laden with arms and mu-
nitions Of war, then lying in that port
His subsequent acts prevented the expe-
dition, The question Of Lieutenant Nc
Clellan's resiSnation was held in allowance
some days, when the inducements to it
we're necessarily withdrawn"
Our young hero was now again without
any definite prospects, but his good for.
tune soon placed Jefferson Davis at the
head Of the War Department, and that
excellent man, having always regarded
Mcclellan with exceeding favor, and
wishing to reward him, probably, for his
sympathies with the s.Lone Star" pro-
NOTED him to BE- captain of infantry,
and then raised him to the dazzling sta
ton Of Chief of the Commission of Obser-
walton which represented the army of the
United States before Sebastopol True
to these soupenirs, and the tendencies
which they created. he, after his return,
united himself with the Breckenridge
Democracy, the plot Of which on the part
st least, OF ito Southern engineers, was to
either throw the election to the House"
or, BY the return Of Lincoln to the Presi-
dency, TO seize the opportunity for rsvo-
lution.-Wilke's Spirit Of the Times.
