From the Now York Times

| tIon the new 1ork llmes.
A gentleman who left Richmond less than
a week ago, brings us information of the
state of agairs in that city. He is one of
very many Others who have succeeded in
escaping To the North to relieve themselves
/ of the hardships incident to the Rebellion.
He states that from his personal knowledge
there are not less than twenty persons in
this city, and twenty persons in Philadel-
phia and Baltimore, who have lately got
! through the lines to the North, and whom
he has met during his short say. lie repre-
sents the stOte of feeling there, in reference
| TO the war, rs gloomy and respondent TO
the last degree, Ali hope in the success of
the Coniedcncy appears to have vanished.
There may be II lingering glimmer of ex-
pectatiOn in some minds that France NAV
come to their aid f; but this is INDUCED in
by very few
The miserable story that guard has been
placed around jeff Davis house to keep
liim from running away, is, of course, un-
true II was probably intended as Joke.
lie bears continued news of defeat and dis
aster as bravely rs he may. His health,
however, is completely broken down. Our
informant does not believe that he can hold
out many years longer. lie looks very worn
and sick, and he has been suffering great
deal lie still rides out whenever he Is well
enough, at about five or fix o'clock in the
afternoon, either in u carriage with his wife
or on hoursebaek with his nephew. During
the first disasters the people were bitter
against the Government and the President,
and partisanship is OF course, still rife but
much ef this feeling is changed very lately
into total hopelessness OF the cause Of he
south under any leadership.
The men - ho hold the Confederate money
are fostering such stories until they can get
rid OF IL for sosnething more subsianiial.-
Those people Who h0ld the Confederate
debts are the most xious OF any Tor an.

dignity and its own honor, we mean to say
nothing inconsistent with this position. Yet
the above expose of Southern opinion
which we have many reasons to believe
accurate, 80 far as very large and hitherto
controlling class of Southrons is concerned
invites the following suggestions:
l. When the President was urged to issue
his Proclamation of Freedom, The National
Intetigencer and its whole conservative"
school denounced and stigimatized that
step ns inevitably fatal to the Union cause.
ut will unite the South nd divide the
North" was the Conservative cry. ut has
united the South and divided the North"
they insisted for months after the final
Proclamation appeared. But now Mr..
Adams-(he is Tile Mtotligencer's witness,
not ours)-testities that this very Emanci-
patton policy of President Lincoln insures
the Unions ultimate triumph and the Re
belion's complete overthrow. 1t is the
fact that, under this policy of Emancipation,
Slavery must die, and the Rebellion with it,
that is put forward by Mr. Adams's 'promi-
| nent politicians" of the South as their
chief reason for despairng of the success
of the Rebellion and wishing to return to
the Union.

EXECUTION OF FIVE SUBSTITUTE DEsERTERs.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMAC
August 30, 1SG3-The execution of the
substitute deserters sentenced to the penalty
of death in General Orders No. 81, took
place to-day. More than ordinary interest
was exhibited in this execution of military
laM, and it is estimated that not less than
%, 900 persons were present. The ground
ground was well selected, and every arrange
ment so complete that no accident occurred
to mar the soemnity of the proceeding
The position of the spectators was upon
semcircular elevation, partially surmounting
the place of execution.
Previous to the execution the scene pre-
sented remarkable view to the spectator
! Two of the sentenced were Protestants, two
Catholics, and the fifth Hebrew. The
spiritual advisers of each were present adj
ministcring the last consultations of religion.
The criminals were sitting upon their re-
spective coffins with the yawnng graves in
the year. The troops were drawn upin close
column by division, covering the complete
scmi-circle separated from the spectators by
creek. The order for the immediate exc
cution was issued by General Griffin, at 3
o'clock, p. NJ, and the Officer of the guard,
Captain Crockcr, of the One hundred and
eighteenth Pennsylvania Regiment, recalled

were placed in their respective graves and
the clergy performed the religious services
over the deceased.
| The spectacle was an unusual one. The
! Catholic, the Protestant and the Hebrew
stood side by side, each uttcring prayers for
the departed souls.
! The names, ages, residences &C., of the
deceased are rs follows:

e55 WOODWARD AND STEvENs.--lt is a
singular fact that in 1860, while Judge
Woodward contended that the rights of the
South were invaded, Alex. II. Stephens OF
Georgia, contended that no such rights had
been violated. In December 1860, Judge
Woodward, now candidate for Governor
of Pennsylvania, at public meeting in
Philadelphia, said
at is seems to me that there must be a
time when the SHAREHOLDERS may fall back
on their natural rights, and employ, in de-
fence Of their slave property, whatever means
OF protection they possess or can command
One month afterwards, Alexander H. Ste
phens, now Vice President of the Rebel
Government and one of the ablest men in
the South, uttered these words before a
Georgia State Convention

~ The news from the South, from re-
bel sources, shows that the rebels are every
day growing weaker, and their cause more

the French, and the success of the copper.

.H" The friends of the defeated candi-
dates feel very sore. They believe they are the
victims of a conspiracy-a secret power
One of them openly expressed his opinion of
of the nominee for Assembly, by saying that
the party must be in a bad way to nomi-
nate a id Secessonist, who has been only
about two years in the county, over life
long democrat. That the Knights of the
Golden Circle had hand in this nomination,
is plainly evident. Jack Cummings, the dele
gate from Snyder county, was present, and
was one of the busiest men in the conven-
ton. The deafeated candidate for Senator
declared that his opponent electioneered
against him, in the lower townships, on the
ground that he was "a war democrat" Such
charge, could not, of course, be made
against the successful nominees for Senate
and Assembly. They were all that jeff
Davis could desire-copperheads Of the most
malignant character. With these friends
in the North the South declare they can
continue the war several years.

THE NEGRO AND THE WAR.


We are not among those who believe that
the question of slavery was the cause of the
Rebellion. The traitors however, wanted
some pretext, and none could be used to
better advantage than this. Gen. jackson,
in one of his letters, just before his death,
stated that the pretext for notification or
attempted rebellion in 1888, was the tariff,
and that the pretext for the next rebellion,
would be slavery. That the question of
abolition is involved in this contest, there is
no doubt, but it is the result, not the cause
of the war; The abolition of slavery in
some of the slave States, is necessary
consequence of this rebellion. But the
Shareholders, are, alone, responsible for this
suicidal act. They, themselves, have effect
ed what all the Abolitionists of the North
could never have accomplished. The negro
has hitherto played but an unimportant part
in this "grand drama of guilt and treason"
but now the scene has changed The pro-
priety of using the negroes for the suppress
sion of the rebellion can no longer be
questioned. Conviction is now forced upon
every mind, that the arming of the negroes,
under proper officers, and using them for the
purpose of bring into subsection their dis
loyal masters, has already brought many of
them to their senses. In the letter of Mr..
Adams, a prominrnt Southern politician,
published in another column, he states dis
tinctly, that this great element of power in
the hands of the government, is more feared
by the shareholders than anything else and
they now see and feel, that nothing but
ruin and desolation is in store for them,
unless they submit.
