The Onening Of Fort LafaEotta.

1t is at last announced, with some show Of
probability, that Fort Lafayette will soon be
emptiel Of its prisoners. The name Of the friend
of Washington, theAictim Of Olmutz, the hero
Of the Rcyoiut1n which in France proclaimed
libc.ty to the captive, is no Longer to be aisgra-
eel by its association with all that is base and
cowardly and cruel in reckless and arbitrary
power. Tho Government at Washington, we
are told, has made up its mind that the first of
January, which is to witness an empty fulmina-
ton Of liberty to millions OF Southern slaves,
shall witness also the substantial restoration of

LETTER from o Republican Judge.

Judge GoULI,, Of the MY. Supreme Court,
is out in u sever letter to the President in de-
nunciation of the system of arbitrary arrests.
A nephew of ,Judge G., named @. Q. TRACY,
it appears has been arrested and sent to Fort
Infayette for de aling in contractors drafts on
the Government. Mr.. TRACY is a grandson OF
the late Senator Tracy of Connecticut. The
Judge is very severe. His views have greater
weight perhaps from the fact that in politics he
sympathized with President Lincoln. We quote
u paragraph or two from his letter:
81 am, and alwas have been, an unwavering
enemy of this rebellion--(cursed in Its origin,
most accused in It's progress)-and supporter
OF the Administration. am q Judge OF the
highest Court in the State. And if no honest
voice has yet reached the ears OF the Govern
mont, | wish to say, and to be heard in saying,
that Star Chamber process and Secrctare S war
rants are dangerous instruments TO play with,
and that among us, the true, saunch supporters OF
the Government W no would crush treason with
the iron heel, but 'xho knows the law, are COM
peled to hang their heads in silence at the men
ton of cseswhich have occurred iii our midst.
Spies are hardly cautioned when they are where
they can do infinite harms but poweriu! hand
and an oppressive oneislaid on a person here, who
is not in position for doing mischief if he would
and who is supposed to have no friends. Had
| been few hours earlier made aware of this
case Ishoud not have troubled you with word;
but woud have seen that the process of the
Supreme Court of this State was executed as
TO protect its citizens accused OF such offences
from arrest, other than one under the appropri-
ate process Of the courts. beg to assnreyou,
in all sincerity, that this kind Of proceeding
has gone too far already, and that while to the
very last of our men and the last OF our means
we arc ready and determined to sustain the law,
and the Government in enforcing tn c law over
this whole land rs one country; we are also
determined to be judged by the law, and not
by any Secretary or any one who is not com
missionod for that purpose. We know and ac-
knowledge the rules Of war, where the necessity
of the case raquires the existence of martial
law. But we know, also, the common law OF
liberty, and the broad, great charter of The
Constitution"

cumstances under which the bill was passed,
they conclude as follows: The protest against
the refusal of the House to permit the consider
alton and discussion OF the bill as an arbitrary
exercise OF power by the majority, unjust to
their constituents, and dcrogatory to its char
acter as legislative body. They protest against
the passage of the bill.
First. Because it purports to deprive the
citizens of all existing peaceful legal modes ot
redress for admitted wrong, and thus compels
him tamely TO submit 10 the injury inflicted, OF
TO seek illegal and forcibc remedies.
Second. Because it purports to inde mniiy the
President and all acting under his authority
for acts admitted to be wrongful, at the expense
of thescitizen against whom the wrongful acts
have been perpetrated in violation of the plain
est principle OF justice and the just precep.s OF
constitutional law.
Third Because it purports to confirm and
make valid by act Of Congress arrests and i'm
prisonmenis, which were not only not warran-
ted by the Constitution of the United States,
but were in palpable violation of lis express
prohibitions
Fourth. Because it purpor;s to authorize the
President, during this rebellion, at any time to
arrest any person, and anywhere throughout
the limits Of the United States to suspend the
privileges of the writ of habeas corpus; whereas,
by the Constitution the power to suspend the
privileges OF that writ is confined to the discre-
ton of Congress alone, and is limited to the
places threatened by the dangers Of invasion or
insurrection
Fifth Because, for these and other reasons,
it is unwise and unjust an invasion Of private
rights; an encouragement to violence, and a
precedent full OF hope to ali who would usurp
despotic power and perpetuate it by the arbi-
trary arrest and imprisonment Of all who op-
pose them.
Sixth. And finally, because in both its sec
tons it is deliberate, palpable and dangerous
violation OF the Constitution, aecordngto the
plain sense and intention Of that instru ment,
and is, therefore, utterly null and void.

GEN. POPE.S REPORT.

We give up large portion Of our space
this morning to tie report by Gen. Pope OF the
brief and eyentiul campaign which he conduct
ed in Vjrpiuia. This document has been long
DELAYED owing to causes stated IN the report,
bot the interest OF the month whose operations
il discusses is still fresh, and Gen. Popc's de-
iense of the campaign which had 50 disastrous
n termination will be read with various degrees
of satisfaction. but al all events with curious
attention. We condense summary Of bis ac'
count, as follows;
Gen. Pope Was assigned to tho command OF
the Amy Of Virginia June 20, 80! That
army consisted OF three corps: the brsg under
Gen. Fremont, the Second under Gen. Banks,
the third under Gen. Mcdowell. These forces
were widely scattered, and more or 1883 de-
moralizsd. Gen. pope's frat labors were
directed to partial reorganization of his army
and to TIE redistribution Of the separate corps
in suck. way An to cover TIE Shenandoah
Valley, and at tie same time bring
them within supporting distance OF
each osher. About this time occurred
which resulted in tho withdrawal OF Me-
Clelan's forces to James Riyor. Gen. Pope
was Of opinion that Mcclellan should rather
have moved his army, il any change oil base
we're necessary, toward Hanover COurt-llouse
in order that the two might be able to CO.
operate, and addressed letters 30 that eliec. TO
the President and to Gen. Mcclellan. II was
apparent from the latter's r9ply tbaS no har-
Inonious cooperation was to be expected from
him, anl Gen. Haook was accordingly placed
IN command over beth armies.
Before Gen. Pope took the field b had been
determined to unite the two armies OF virgin
ia and She Potomac. His mission was there
fore TO protect the front of Washington, secure
the Valley of the Shenandoah, and cover the re-
treat Of McClellaa from tSe Peninsula. Ii the
enemy. as was feared, Should throw his whole
force toward Washington, his advance was IL
be resisted ut all hazards to give time for Me-
Clelane arrival On the RappaLanuOck.
The campaign commenced with succession
of cavalry i0rays on tho enemy's lines, part o.
which wcre succesSful, but the most important

some disaster has happened to the French.
From our Havana letter it will be seen tina:
our correspondent claims to have received from
ON entirely Trustworthy source intelligence
fully corroborating the rumor of the French
disaster. His account is minute and crcum-
stantiaI, and it explains in particular how 800
Mexicans could have routed about 1900
French. Aided by dense fog, the Mexicans
succeeded in completely surprising the French
when they had pitched their tents and stacked
their arms, and the confusion is said to have
been so great, that some French soldiers
killed each other. Their loss is said to be esti-
mated at from ! 500 to $500, that Of the Next
cans amounting to only 100.
Our correspondent also maintains that Next
can General left Puebla with 10000 men aud
beat, at Acajete, French division which had
left Orizaba, consisting, it is said, of l4,0OV
men. Also, in this engagement the loss of the
French is said to have been heavy, and to
amount to about two thousand men. Ia con-
sequence of this defeat the French army,
which was advancing against P1ebla, has re-
treated to OriZaba.
In addition to these defeats, it is reported that
O convoy of ammunition, which was sent from
Jalapa to Perote, has been captured by Gen.
Querada, and that in consequence of the de-
feat of Gen. Berthier, Jalapa had been evacu-
ated Tampico, it is said, has also been aban-
doned, aud the troops have returned to Vera
Cruz.
1t will be necessary to await further intclil-
gence before we can assume these reports to
be indisputabc. But at all events, the silence
of the French authorities at Vera Cruz seems
to point to news unfayorable to their cause.
IL should be remembered that once before Gen.
Lorencez attempted to conceal defeat,
and that the Monitew only published it after
English and German papers had given all the
details.

measures, no matter how important they might
appear in the eyes of their friends, calculated
to provoke the hostility of the Democratic
party, and excite their opposition, was mis-
chevOus in the highest degree, and that all we
might gain by such measures would be nothing
compared with what we should lose by rOus-
ing the Democracy to resist it, Their harmO-
NOUS cooperation with us in the carrying on
of the war is worth more to the nation a
thousand times, than any measure that we
propose and which would inalienatc them

loves his country better than his own hobby,
who would not be willing and ready to give up
all the causes of difference with the great par
ty, composing one half OF our people, for the
sake of insuring its hearty and cheerful CO.
operation with us in carrying on the war?
Sir, would rather have the moral and mate
rial aid of the Democratic party in carrying on
this war, than all the Legislative projects that
could be patched on the brains ola Congress
composed entirely Of rc1ormcrs One kindly
pusation of its great heart, and one sturdy
stroke of its mighty arm, would do more t.
put down the rebellion than all the laws we
cOul possibly PISS. would checrfully yield
all my conceived notions, at any time to secure
its aid in this extremity, and with its aid l be-
lieve the unity of the Republic would be resto-
red, and the flag again float everywhere, still
more the subject OF vcncratiOn, and still more
the assurance of safety than it ever was before
| would respect the traditions of that party
and deal tcnderly with their likes and dislikes,
and surely under no circumstances would Of
fcnd when it could be avoided.
