The Proclamation TO supersede the Con-
stifuti0n.

There 10 an extraordinary passage In the let.
ter Of Secretary CHAss 10 the Sumter meeting
In New York. Abiding 10 the subject Of
slavery, he says:

slave States by the unconstrained action OF the
people and their legislators, aided freely
and generously by their brethren of the
free States. may be mistaken In this; but If
am, another better way will be revealed.
This reveals the position and purpose of tb,
party In power. Should the South tomorrow
propose to return, jus. as she went forth, asking
no guarantees but such as the Constitution pro
vides, she would not be permitted to do 60, /
radicals could prevent it. The proclamation
according to Mr.. CHASE, would be an insuper
able bar to her return: for he says it "canno
be dlsregarded or set aside in any euent." Th
proclamation must, therefore, be paramount h
the restoration of the Union, and must super
sede the Constitution.

A few days ago there was some nervous ex

belligerent attitude toward that Of Great Brit

Washington correspondent Of an inhuentia

Within week distinguished citizen came
on to see Mr.. Seward, that be might obtain in
demnity from the Spanish government on &C.
count of the willful destruction OF an American
vessel In Spanish waters. The fscts made out
q clear and unmistakabe case for the claimant
and Mr.. Seward did not pretend that the case
was not q perfectly good one, but he replied to
the man: "We are engaged 10 such civil wal
that we cannot risk any chances Of foreign en-.
tanglemenls, and you had better for the pres.
ent submit to injustice for the sake of your
cIuntry" ls the man who said that, likely to
plunge the country unnecessarily into war

his vete, influence, and action should be given

Female Political ExcIusiveness.

Some foolish and crazy Abolitonists of the
female persuasion iu Connecticut have had
printed and are circulating the following
ridiculous agreement:
We, the undersigned, women Of New Haven,

for the purpose of exeriDg our influence in
aiding and sustaining (as far as practicable)
those who are loyal to the Government; and
we do hereby agree to refrain from business

tain men who are opposed to upholdipg the
Government in its efforts to suppress the rebel.

It has been suggested as counterirritant to
this lunacy, that the young Democrats IN "the
land of steady habits" agree not to marry any
of these female leaguers, or the daughters OF
any of them, or attend their tea-parties, or show
them any sallantries. 1t is probable that, If

Embezzlement in the ARMY,

public funds, intended for the 5th corps. He
was last seen In Washington on the 18th ult

check for some twenty thousand dollars. The
money was paid in email notes. Leaving his
uniform at his hotel, he took the cars for Bal-
timore, where he was seen In company with
several United States army officers. He was
traced to New York, thence to Troy, and at
length to Toronto, Canada. .. ,daI, $50
The officer is one In whom the greatest con.

is an elderly man, and has family living in
Massachusetts. II 10 said he left behind him,

papers, besides about four hundred dollars Of

More Vandalism.

We have already informed our readers ol
the causeless burning of Pensacola, Florida, by
some Of our soldiers. Another act of vandal-
ism is now on record-viz: the destruction oil
Jacksonville, in the same State, by Federal
troops. A correspondent of the New York
Tribune writes from Jacksonville as follows:
Jacksonville is 10 ruins That beautiful city,
which has been for 80 many years the favorite
| resort for invalids from the North, has to. day
been burned to the ground, and what is sad to
record, by the soldiers OF the national army
Scarcely mansion, cottage, q negro hut, or
o warehouse remains. The long lines of mag
nificent oaks, green and beautiful, with the
thickest foliage, the orange groves perfumiDg
the air with their blossoms, the sycamores, the
old century plants adorcing every gasden, the
palmetto and bsyonet trees, ever tropical in
verdure, the rose and the jessamine-all that
at this season, indeed might say through all
seasons, has made Jacksonville little Eden,
has been burned, and scorched, and crisped, If
not literally consumed to ashes, BY the devour-
ingAames.
The whole city, mansions, warehouses, trees,
shrubbery, and orange groves; all that refined
taste and art through many years have made
beautiful and attractive, are being Tapped up
and devoured by the bowling, fiery blast. One
solitary woman, borse tied to o fence between
two fires, and lean, half-starved dog, are the
only living inhabitants to be seen on the streets.
Fifty families, most Of them protesting Union
sentiments, have been taken on board OF the
transports and provided with such accommoda.
tions as the tubs will afford. Some of them
have been able TO save bed and few chairs,
but most of them have nothing in the world but
the clothes upon their backs. Is not this war
vindictive, unrelening war2 Have we gotten
up to the European Standard
Yesterday the beautiful little chapel used as
the Catholic parsonage, together with the
church, was fired by some Of the soldiers, and
in short time burned down to the ground
Before the flames had fairly reached the church,
the soldiers burst open the doors and commenc.
ed sacking Il of everything of value. The Or
gan was In moment torn to strips, and almost
every soldier who came out seemed to be cele-
brating the occasion by blowing through On Or
gan pipe. To-day the same spectacle has been
repeated, only upon q much grander scale.
There must have been some understanding
among the incendlsries with regard to the
conAagration. At eight O'Clock the flames
burst from several buildings In different parts
Of the city, and at later hour still more were
fred. The wind then rose 10 stiff gale, and
the torch OF the incendiary became unnecessary
to increase the fire.
As to who are responsible for these barbar
ous and inhuman proceedings, a Jacksonville
correspondent Of the New York Eusning Post
says:

that the "nine persons" spoken of were arrest

seem, that constituted their only cffense; this
emblem OF freedom was not to be tolerated. =
