THE CANAL CONVENTION.
Letter from the Hon. William 2, Shelf
field Of Rhode Isiuud,

NEWPORT, r. l., May !, 1868.
GENTLEMEN: By this day's mail am in re-
ceipt Of your favor of the 24th ult., inviting
me 10 be present at your meeting to be held
in Chicago, on the I'd pro1imo, to further the
enlargement Of the canals between the valley
Of the Mississippi and the Atlantic coast.
II by going to Chicago, could render any
practical aid to the project you have In yiew,
I should cheerfullJ make the journey, for
believe the proposed improvement to be nn
undertaking Of very great national and com-
mercial importance. Its completion would
create new bond Of Union between the East
and the West-clleapen the cost Of transport
Ing fuod, d benefit which would be shared
with tho producer ut the West and the CON
tumer at the East-woul1 stimulate the agri.
cultural enterprise OF the West, aud induce
the culture Of other products, which would
find ready market in the East. It is he
lieyed that indigo, sumac, maddes, and other
1.ticl.s, now brought from foreign countries,
might be successfully cultivated in parts Of
the valley Of the Mississippi, which this chm.
scl Ut trade would put In cheap communica-
tion with the markets Of the East.
/ a1n . believer in the Constitution Of the
United States; but have but little sympathy
in opinion with those men who find under the
power to regulate commerce with foreign M
tions, the authority to erect aud MAINTAIN
lighthouses, and to send expeditions to the
Dead Sea, in search Of ancient sodom, and
Who cannot find in the power to regulate
trade between the States, the authority to
construct q road, or widen canal, over or
through which the commerce Of great sec
ton OF the country will necessarily be
carried.
The more reflect on this improvement, the
more I an satisfied Of It's Importance, not on
~ to the West, but to tho East, and san
guinely look forward to no very distant pc
riod Of time, Hhcn vessels loaded with the
products Of the far West, taken on hoard up
on the banks Of the Mississippi, and Of its
tributaries, and passing through this great
artery Of internal communication, will, with
out " breaking bulk, y lay down their cargoes
In Eastern cities.
We Of New England are for developing the
reeou.ces Of the West, for this adds to our
national prosperity; but not only for this
for our kindred, and those who non our
ne1ghbo1s, are Of yops and thongh we are now
in the full tide Of our strength, If in after
times adversely should come upon US, VIC
should look to you Of the West for support,
relying upon your good Offices. al 4 devoted
parent Would, in times Of trial, look for the
lid Of worthy son. Tou are bound to US,
by ties stronger than those written On parch:
men-our blood flows In ;0ur veins, and the
ashes Of your ancestors moulder in our soil.

"power Of the enemy, by capturing h:s
"propcrty on the high seas"
He then examines the position assumed,
that inasmucl as in the seeded States
there were persons who are loyal in their
feelings, and never yielded voluntary
obedience to the insurgent Government,
they and their property are to be treated
as loyal citizens. till legally convicted Of
having renounced their allegiance and
made war against the Government by
reasonably resisting its laws; "that the
confiscaion Of their property can be effect
"ed only under municipal law; that by
"the Law of the land, such confiscation can
"not take place without the conviction Of
"the owncr Of such offence"
"This argument" ho says, "rests on
"two assumptions, each Of which is with
"out foundation on the established law Of
"nations." He assumes that when \ civil
war exists, the party belligerent claiming
to be sovereign, cannot, for some unknown
reason, exercise the rights Of belligerents,
although the revolutionary party may.
Being sovereign, he can only exercise
sovereign rights over the other party.
The insurgent may be killed on the battle
field, or BY the executioner, his property
on land may be confscated under the
municipal law, but the commerce on
the ocean, which supplies the rebels with
means to support the war, cannot be made
the subject Of capture under the laws Of
war, because it is unconstitutional All
persons residing within this Territory (thc
rebel1ious 6ntcs) whose property may be
used to increase the resources Of the hostile
power, are in this contest liable to be treat,
ed as enemies, though not foreigners They
have cast off their allegiance and made IA,
on their Government, and are not less enc
mics because traitors.

The Nashville 1tess of tho 18th says that
Brig. Gen. 7. J. Wood will take command Of
that post, Brig. Gen. Granger assuming CON-
mand Of the troops stationed there. Both Of
these officers are Of the regular army, Gen.
Wood has long been in command Of diTfs-
ion in that department, and is ono Of the
most efficient officers in tho United States
service.
Two or three women with babes in their
arms came into Louisville last week on the
Jcdersonville Railroad, en- route to Murtrces-
boro, to join their husbands In the army. No
females can get pasecs to 60 to Tennessee,
and 1t is useless waste Of money to attempt
to make the trip.
Major c. s. Stephenson, Army Paym.stcr,
paid out nearly *l5o, 900 during last week, to
troops at Camp Morton, Indianapolis His
payments we're made to 200 paroled officers

L. Bundy pays out, eyesy week, large sums to

A Cowarily Acl by tbe Rebels.
Jf3rard C1n1f Chr Cincinnati f.omyne-rf.}1

At the battle Of Thompson's Hills, as at
nearly every other battle since the commenc-
ment Of the war, the rebels performed some
dastardly acts which should consign them to
eternal obloqny In the eyes Of the civilized
world. l con only mention two Of them, to
one Of which I was IN eyewitness. At IL
o'clock, when they had just been driven back
By heavy fire on their center, number Of
rebels approached bearing d iiag Of truce.
They approached 5 brignde Of our men who
were drawn up in line Of battle. When with.
in about two hundred yards Of OFT line reg
i1nent of rebels rushed in ahead Of the flag Of
truce party, fred yolley Of musketry, and
fell back under cover OF the woods so rapidly
that before our men had recovered from the
surprise occasioncd by auch gross outrage
they were beyond our range. During. the
afternoon some Of our men, while picking
up = number Of dead and wounded rebels,
after severe contest on the right, were fred
upon, and two of them killed. These are
deeds Of Southern valor, without the record
Of which the history Of the rebellion will not

BEAUKEGARD CALLED TO
RICHMOND
Reported Movements Of the Rebels.

The well.informed Washington correspond
ent Of the Philadelphia Worth 4nae'1ean writes:
There is vague rumor in circulation that,
af1er the late battles and the death Of Jack
SOD, General Beaurcgard was te1eg7aphed to
proceed to Richmond with all the force that
could be spared from his department, and
that he was daily expected to Join the army,
which new sppesrs to be IN an important po-
tition half way between Richmond aud Fred
ericksburs. At Gordonsyille there Is also re-
ported to be "strong force" but it is pre-
sumed to be merely sufficient to garrison the
place, and give prompt no ice to the main
body Of tho army Of any movement Of our
forces In that direction.
II the reported ordering Of Besuregard to
Virginia is correct. it would show that the
rebels did not anticipate any renewal Of the
assault upon the dcfences Of Charleston for
eome time to come, but In this they may be
mistaken. It is doubtful in my own mind,
however. whether the Charleston forces hare
been ordered to join Lee, though there hare
been certain developments Of late which
would eeem to give color to such belief
The rebels have such way Of handling
their forces, that it requires q most vigi1ant
eve to penetrate their movements.

before the draft Is made, as 1t will cause many
to volunteer to serve as substitutes in order
to escape being drafted, as In that case they
would only get the 800 paid BY the Govern
ment, aud but rs Of that cash down; 6th. He
who is conecripted for whom none offers to

find his own substitute.
There would doubtless be tens Of thousands
Who would volunteer as substitutes for the
sakc of tue large bounty and to cs-
cspc being drafted. The Republican vol
untccrs would select Republican conscripts
for whom to serve, and Democratic yolun-
teers would select Democratic conscripts, but
who would offer to serve IS substitutes FOR
the conseriptcd Coppcrhead! This class Of
interesting people who have avoided doing
military service, would be obliged to 'sstep to
the music Of the Union" for the first time
siuce the rebellion broke out. It would be a
sin and shame to let such persons escape
upon payment Of a few paltry dollars. Last
summer when the President called for 6oo, 600
men, the Republicans raised three.fourths of
hewhole number, and the Copperhe,ds not
q man, except when draft vas made for
nine months mea. And the CONSEQUENCE
was that the latter who stayed at home to
vote and open fire-in-the.rear, carried the
elections in illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsyl.
vanls, New York aud New Jersey, and called
the result condemnation Of the war, and a
popular demand for peace on any terms the
rebels are willing to grant.
