es differ as to the exact words) which seems
quite likely. Referring to this in letter to
Mr.. Christie, General Webb says
You used towards me language far more fitting

punish impertinence-a bad custom, perhaps but a
habit upon which had always acted, and by the God

me, should punish you.
correspondence conducted in this strain
was not likely to result in any particular sat
isfaction" for either party. There was talk of
hostile meeting, for which General Webb, in
accordance with his well known ideas, profess
ed himself entirely ready; but nothing came
of it. Finally he concluded the chapter by
writing to Earl Russell long and formal com
plant of the alledged sights and insults put
upon him by Mr.. Christie, apparently conceiv-
ing it to be entirely en- regle for him to open
this sort of communication with foreign
government, and upon such subject Earl
Russell appears to have left this extraordinary
communication unnoticed, but has il properly
filed away as an instance of the too frequent
eccentricities of American diplomats.
1t is reported that our own government has
now severely rebukcd General Webb for his
conduct in this matter. A rebuke is certain
ly the lightest penalty deserved by the minis
ter who is so much more solicitous for his own
dignity than for that Of his country and so un-
successful in maintaining either. At this mo-
ment our interests demand the care of agents
who can serve them more efiectually than by
setting foreign courts in flame over whist-ta-
Bile quarrels, and who can secure respectful
treatment for themselves without appealing
either to the "code of honor" or to any other
authority. Especially is this true of our in
terests at the court of Brazil, where for CON-
mercial as well as political reasons, it is de-
sirabe that the United States,-more particu-
larly where England is also concerned should
"put the best foot foremost"
The Portland daily press., 1863-06-01


Very little has been said in this country re-
specting the escapade Of our minister at the
court of Brazil, General Webb, which has
lately been discussed with so much severity i'm
the British House of Commons. The cores
pondence in the case, fully disclosing its his
tory ana including General Webb's extraordi-
nary letter to Earl Russell, was printed some
months ago in the New York Herald with ev-
ident delight, the feud between General Webb
and that paper being of too long standing to
permit the latter to draw the veil of silence
over any of the follies of its old foe. The af
fair was permitted, however, to fall into OBJ
livion, from which it is mortifying to find it
now drawn by the head of the British cabi-
net, in terms to which so little answer can ba
made on behalf of the country which owns
General Webb for its official representative.
The trouble which our minister has had
with MIR. Christie, the British minister at Rio
de Janeiro, appears to have been purely per-
sonal difficulty, as Insignificant and absurd as
such difficulties are apt to be, when one party
chooses to make a display of his devotion to
punctilio, and discreditable as an appeal TO
the code of honor" is apt to make them. 1t
seems that capital point in General Webb's
charges against Mr.. Christie is that at game
OF whist, where they were partners, the latter
said to him "You talk to omuch." Tor "you
talk SO much that you put me out,"-witness-

account of the evacuation aud burning of

that the black regiments had no hand in burn

vost guard. Our headquarters were near the
east end of the town. The negro regiments
were in quarters at the west end of the town
and near the wharf. This had the appearance
of being the wealthiest part of the town, as
there were several large blocks of brick build
ings there We were the last company that
left the place, and at that time the negro quar-
ters were on fire and the wind soon caused it
to spread through the entire west half of the
town. When / last saw the place. the east

To the Editor Of the Press:
SIR, - send you brief extract from a
letter received recently from friend in Paris,
which may help, if published, in weakening
the prejudices still TO some extent entertained
against negro soldiers. Fortunately such
prejudices are already deprived of their power
to prevent the formation of negro regiments.
Yet they linger in many minds. Says my
friend
give regiments have lust
returned from service in Africa with honora-
BILE mention by Marshal Pelissier, commanding
in Algiers. Ten of these regiments were on
parade recently and l witnessed their evolu-
fions Their skins were as black as your hat.
The colonies and lieutenants were great strap
ping 'nagers as the Irishman would say, but
splendidly dressed and as fine specimens of
gentlemen as you can see in Paris. The music,
much like those plaintive airs of Southern
plantations, was very sweet and played by
large band of jet black musicians. The drill
seemed admirable, and the official gazette
says, they are to be quartered at the Tuile-
ries."

fellow, and the color of the skin makes no diff
ference in the choice of a soldier, S.

lnasmuch as the above article reflects on a
man OF infinitely more patriotism, more cour-
age and more brains than the writer of the
said article, l cannot pass it by without re-
fatation. In the first place Mr.. Douglass is
upwards OF fifty years of age and therefore
could not go himself to the war; but he has
offered to his country his only two sons, tai.
ented, promising young men, both of whom
go as seargeants in the very regiment to which
Mr.. Douglass was distributing tracts and en-
couraging words Unfortunately for the
Argus and other kindred sheets the negroes
have been found to make good soldiers, and
therefore one portion OF its political capital
"the incapacty and cowardice of the blacks
is irrecoverably lost. Unable now to plead
the incapacity of the negroes for making SOL
diers, the Argus vents its puerile sIheen
upon the leading colored men of the time
thus hoping still to fasten in the minds of the
ignorant and unthinking those prejudices
which so long have stood in the way of the ell
ovation of the black race.

of eternally silencing the mouths of his tradu-
