Washington isthe great crucibleswhich

band Of patriots who rushed with high.
hearted patriotism through hostile city,
to defend her against her internal and ex.
tcrnal foes, have now become the dread
and danger of the Republic. The Con.
gressmen sent up in the first hours Of the
struggle, overlooking with the patriotic
ardor infused i'to their hearts ~ the pure
prairie winds Of the West and the noun.
tain storms Of the East, have learned to
wilt, and cover, and trim, and turn, to
suit the malarious atmosphere of: this sIa-
very-cursed soil, until their disguised con.
stituents have become hopeless, and. in
their despair, half voted the Republic to
the devil and then, instead of redeeming
themselves and the country by energy, by
decision, BY doing something to insure the
original expectation, they read the rebukc
as meant for any little show Of energy
they may have made, and again 60 to
WORK: to trim, and turn, and twist, and
shrink responsibility more entirely than
before. There is no hope of Congress do
ing, anything to save. our country no
hope of the Administration, unless the
people drive it, drive it., drive it, by COM
mittees, none Of whom should be permitted
to stay in the city more than forty-eight
hours. Let the people send succession
Of committees to demand that all loyal
men Of the South be armed and set to
fighting for the Union ; let these commit

each one bring reservoirs Of pure air that

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18th, 1868.


DEAR W1LL-This morning l had an
appointment to go with Senator Wilkinson
to see the President and talk to BIN about
our Indian AFFAIR.". Going in to tile door
Of the White House we met two gentle
men just coming out, and. before l had
time to recognize the foremost, Mr.. W.
had introduced me to Sec. Stanton, who
remembered and recognized me at once !;
for, you know, I knew him in the Smoky
City, long time ago. Els cordial greeting
was very pleasant. I: had called at the
War Department yesterday. anG finding
him locked in his Office, left my card, and
he warmly assured me that when wished
to see him I had but to call, as my card
would be sure to come in, and he would
he glad to see me all of which was said
with an air of more than politeness, for he
really appears to have a distinct and pleas
ant remembrance of the time when be was
young lawyer, unknown to fame and l
a successful editor, when he made it a
point to call at my Office and talk, earnest
ly for an hour over the object Of my labors
at that time, viz: securing the property
rights of married women. lie gave me
some valuable suggestions and sympathiz.
ed, entirely with me in the matter-as
manly men do, and just in proportion to
their courage and manliness. Its always
a coward who seeks to Cypress, by legal en-
actments, weaker party and fears the dis
cussion of existing laws. Whatever Mr..
Stanton's failings may be, cowardice is
not one Of them, as he gave recognition,
at that early day, to the then radical idea
of married woman's right to own prop
erty, SO, learn that he is particularly
cordial, now, in recognizing the many et-
forts Of LADIES' to aid our soldiers and
thus he acknowledges woman as co-lubo:-
err in preserving the Government
During the few moments we talked, his
companion, whom l bad not noticed, stood
looking on, and jud: e of my surprise when
Mr.. Wilkinson presented me to-Geu
Fremont. Well, l shall never forget that
meeting, or the genial hsnd:olasp with
which I was received as one he had 'read
about" Gen Fremont, unlike Mr.. Stan
ton, is thin and looks anxious. His hail
and beard are quite gray, and the beard
cut until about an inch long. lie is'o
medium size, with sinewy, muscles. Hi
keen gray eyes are tempered with alooko o.
deep earuestness, almost amounting to sad
ness; and his dress 20 simple that ont
might pass him, for . Second Lieutenant

lice, wto, when asked the cause, replied,
"Oh, the same old drunk !?

day I can write, but am quite better
There has been = great difficulty in get

Congressional delegation have. appeared

De decided. There is no possibility Of a
hall before Friday or Saturday evening
,.nd it SCARCELY appears worth while to
wait and lecture when there can be no
hope that my statements would affect the
question. The course of anti Slavery lee
surcs here last winter go enraged the pro-
Slavery citizens and frightened eonserva-
tives that every hall and church in the
city il closed and Theoretically sealed
against every lecturer suspected Of any op-
position to the peculiar institution, and
the utmost efforts Of the Lecturing Asso-
citation have failed to procure a place FIR
y course Of lectures the present winter.
Slavery dies hard, if dying it is; aud
! doubt if the spirit Of the Institution was
ever more rampant in the Capital than it
'is to-day.
< The Democratic programme now, is to
get possession Of the Government get a
decision Of the Supreme Court declaring
the Con6scation Act, the Proclamation
and all sinsilal measures unconstitutional !;
offer the South their own terms to come
into the Union, and as it is probable she
will refuse association with New England,
New England can be left out. Slavery is
10 be made National, and Freedom to be
driven from the continent. The Freed
r. men are to be re.enslaved and the white
laborcrs to be brought to the level Of the
,,oor whites Of tho South-to be without
schools or the right Of private ballot. The
masses are in short to surrender all other
rights for the right to whip a pigger-if
he can get one.
The plans are boldly laid and openly
discussed aud they arc met by tue most
,,isgraceful, unman]y, hating timidity on
tho part Of the Republicans. The bill

has spent 80 much time, is long stcr

MEAT FOR THE REBEL MY.-A Virgin

MEAT FOR THE REBEL ARMY.-A Virgin
Ia farmer writes to the Richmond Senfinel
that the rebel government can never get
the bacon it needs for the army except by
devlsing system Of exchange. The fa6m-
ers and planters, he says, all wanti suf,hr:
tney Will give up a large part of their &ore
OF bacon at once, and gladly, if thew are
only offered sugar for it. Therefore. he
adds, send us your sugar--for which part of
their rations the soldiers have no use. las
they have neither tea nor coffee.''
rms is an excellent plan, says tho SEMI
net; 1t would remove the whole difficultyl
only the rebel government has no sugar.
That does, somehow, interfere with the
Virginia farmers plan, ~

MAN TRAPS IN DIxIE.-At the Auction
sale of cargo of goods which had run the
Blockade, at Wilmington, N. c., week or
two since, everything went on swimmingly
until the goods were mostly disposed off,
AT this interesting moment, a squad of SOL
diers appeared at the door, and demanded
that all men under forty show their "pa-
pers." About half regiment, more or
less, proved to be without projections"
and were marched off by the guard. A
portion of them were afterwards released,
but the major part were held as good
enough conscripts. That was shrewd
move, decidedly,-but we fear it will inter-
fere with future sales at auction.

Editor Hawk-Eye:-The Copperheads of
this part of the country, have been "kindy
holed up" during the winter, operating be-
hind barred doors and curtained windows,
with now and then peace meeting in open
daylight, as sort of feeler Of the public
pulse, under the patronage of the polite and
affable Brigadier General Augustus Caesar
Dodge, and the uncoutlr and immaculate
Henry Clay Dean, but their peace meetings
fell upon the public ear like snowin harvest
and proved a great waste of the raw ma
terial, without any prospect of future sue
cess; and after preaching peace all winter
and endorsing the insignificant Doc. Ran
kin (the author of set Of resolutions in
which it was determined to resist the gov
eminent to the death-the last ditch) they
have changed their programme, and now
propose to favor vigorous prosecution OF
the war, but to oppose the object for which
it is prosecuted, provided it is not carried
on according to the Constitution.
The Union men of Davis and portion OF
Appanoose counties have been holding
number of interesting and enthusiastic
Union meetings at various places over the
country, and have at each one come out
boldly and defiantly in favor of sustaining
the government at all hazards by their re-
solutions, which were nearly always unan-
imously endorsed by all persons present.
But the great defender and endOrser OF VAL
landipham, and the last Of the Coppefhead
stumpers, Harvey Dunlavy, (the man that
refused to vote the bare-footed soldiers OF

The number Of passengers and crew on

No one was to blame, a. usual. But it
would be difficult for any philanthropist to
define the right Of ship captains to endan-
ger so many lives by running near that
Cape, or running at all, in fog, merely to
save few hours time in the voyage. If
the officers of that ship were not guilty of
manslaughter, at Wholesale, no one ever
was.
