have thought from the first; that the in
vasion of Pennsylvania was a RASH and
dangerous experiment, which there was
no justification for having undertaken
We are not one Of these On the con-
trary, we believe, when the secret histo.
~ of this war shall have been published,
the conduct Of the General will be amply
justified by circumstances of Which We
arc now, and must for generation re-
main, completely ignorant"
What circumstances? And why must
we remain gnorant of them for a gene.
ro'ton9 Could Northern traitors throw
any light on the suggc, tons of their
Southern ally? Can Gov. Seymour say
why SO much secrecy is necessary? Can
Fernando Wood, or James Brooks or Val.
landigham? 1t would seem as if this
period Of mystery were meant to expire
with the death of men now on the stage
-thst not till they were safe out of
harms way would it be safe for Gen Lee,
even in order to relieve his military rep
utation from the stain of ,ashness, to say
who invited him North, what assurances
induced him to venture, and on what
pledges of cooperation he riskcd his
army in such campaign.
When these questions are answered,
possibly we may also learn little more
OF the interior history Of the recent dem
constructions in New York in behalf of the
rebellion; the fruit, as the Dispatch says,
which the Wood Brooks peace meetings
bore. Why Gov. Seymour exhibited
such extraordinary a'acrity in stripping
the city of its militia just before the ri,
OTIS came on; why those riots did not
break out, as was at first intended, on the
Fourth of July; why Vice President
Stephens undertook his embassy to
Washington at the same moment; why
the rioters, whom Gov. Seymour called
his "noble hearted fricnds,' che red tor
jeff. Davis as we'll as for his mouth piece
on that occasion; why the Governor, on
the Saturday Jctore the mob rose, sent
messenger to the President to induce him
to stop the draft; and finally, if Lee had
been at Harrisburg and victorious, as
was expected. on the Fourth of July, in
stead of being defeated at Gettysburg,
whether that would have m ade any differ
ence in the execution of the Coppcrhead
programme-all these questions History
will ask, and will, in one fashion or an.
other, answer. Some Of them may even
get answered before this generation has
passed away, and some traitors who still
hide their treason beneath formal decla-
rations Of loyalty, and who are to day the
most dangerous enemies Of the Republic,
because they are secretly and not openly
such, may he brought unexpectedly to
justice.-N Y Tribune.
TIE VICTIMS OF THE Mon The to-
tai number of deaths wec', before last 10
New York city was 663 OF this aggrc-
gate, 1O6 deaths are officially reported to
have been occasioncd by violence during
the reign of the mob.
The new two cent stamps just issu-
ed by the Post Office Department for city
letters, circulars, &C., are black in color
and have finely engraved head of Gen.
Andrew Jackson. The portrait occupies
nearly the entire surface of the stamp.
By Vallandigham, in his address to
the "poople of Ohio" says he did "not
meet Gin the South) one man, woman or
child who was not resolved to perish
rather than yield to the pressure Of arms"
This is easily accounted for on the ground
that his associations in Dixie were only
with sccessionists. lie is the last man
Southern Unionists would be likely to
take into their confidence.
