fore. He attributed the cause to the fact that
there was not enough of labor in the southern
states.
"Could this want be remedied under state
of slavery? No; he believed not. Labor
was not considered honorable in the south
and therefore laborers from the north did moi
like to go to the south. The emigration of la.
borers to America from Europe principally
flowed to the north, where labor VIA, lonored
and respected All that the planters could
depend on for an Increased supply of labor
was the natural increase in negro population,
and negroes from the slave ships from the
coast of Africa.
Fortunately for the world the United
States would not consent to the re-opening of
the slave trade; consequently the planter was
obliged to depend on the increase of the me-
gro population, which was about two and a
half per cent. per annum. The production
of cotton, therefore, had been insufficient and
insecure on account of the institution of
slavery (applause). The south has made
slavery the issue, and having rushed into the
battle field to settle the great question, it was
sinking into inevitable ruin (hear.)
''Was it possible that this great cotton in
duStry might yet be placed on a rock which
nothing could disturb? Let them imagine
thONSh SNthC hiiSii0 say iliu llO IlSliL
agine-that the war was over, that the Union
was restored and that slavery was abolished
-(cheers did they suppose that in such
case there would be fewer negroes in the
south? On. the contrary, he believed the num-
Der would be increased. If slavery and the
lash were abolished, the negro would turn his
face towards the sunny south, where he would
find himself happier and more useful than in
the north. There would, besides, be mi
grafton from the north to the south.
"Once abolish slavery, and emigration
would flow from Europe to the south, and in
few years there would be an increase of the
cotton crop. (Applause.) He came from the
midst Of the cotton industry of Lancashire,
and large portion of what he had in the
world depended on that industry. Not lit.
tie of it was now valueless; his neighbors
around him were suffering more or less from
the war, and while it continued great numbers
of his fellow countrymen would be dependent
on charity. His interest was, therefore, the
interest of all the great population in the cot
ton districts. He spoke of the question as
one of business, though he was glad that, on
that OCCASION business conceded with high
sentiment and high morality (applause) At
ter some further remarks, in which the honor
able gentleman hoped that England and
America might always be found working to-
gether in the cause of liberty and progress, he
concluded amid much cheering"

ON several occasions urged government to i'm

HARRlsBURG, July 2.-The last of the reb
els left Carlisle yesterday morning, and the
town was occupied in the afternoon by Il por-
ton of our forces under Gen. Smith, About
five o'clock in the evening the rebel cavalry
appeared in large numbers, having come in on
the Y ork road. A rebel officer sent in q flag
of truce to Gen. Smith, demanding the sur
render of the town, which was refused. The
rebel officer, on receiving Gen. Smiths re-
ply opened on the town with their artillery
The rebel fire was promptly responded to by
our forces. The firing continued with inter
walls until about 10 O'clock, when the rebels
fell back in the direction from whence they
came
The rebels burned the barracks, gas works,
and one dwelling. Many buildings in the
place also suffered from the rebel artillery
The court house was struck several times.
When the rebels opened fire on the town the
excitement among the people was very great
The women and children fled in all directions
and hid themselves in cellars. Our loss was
three killed and eleven wounded. The rebel
loss is not known. Previous to the retire
ment of the rebels they sent in another flag
OF truce, notifying the citizens to leave, as
they intended to renew the attack to-day.
This morning the rebels are again in sight
NooN.-Up to this hour nothing has been
heard OF the renewal of the attack on Carlisle
by the rebels. The barracks and gas works
which the rebels burned are located a short
distance outside of the town, which accounts
for their being burned.
The Philadelphia Bulletin has the follow
ing special dispatch regarding the rebel attack
on Carlisle:
HARRISBURG, July "A demand was sent
for an unconditional surrender OF Carlisle by
w. IL. +. Leet Gen. Smith promptly refused
to give up the place.
HARRISBURG, July PA demand was sent
for an unconditional surrender of Carlisle by
w. ii. +. Lee. Gen. Smith promptly refused
to give up the place, when the rebels placed
battery OF six pieces in position to the left of
the barracks and commenced to shell the
town.
Gen. Smith replied from his guns, which
were mounted in Nam street near the center
OF the town. Hearing the shells the reSels
made detour round the railroad and fired
the barracks. The gas works were also fred
sparks from which are said to have burned
several lumber yards, private dwellings and
barns. Some citizens are known to be in
Jured. The court house was damaged, and
several shells tell upon the college building
and ground. Gen. Lee then sent in another
flag of trace, notifying the women and child
rem to leave the town by ten o'clocl: this
morning
Every confidence is had in Gen. Smiths
ability not only to hold the place, but unless
the rebels rapidly retire, his TANKS and rear
will be obst ucted, and his force probably

BALTIMORE, July 2-The American this
afternoon publishes the following:
'HeaaqnarteTs Of the Middle Department,
July :, lS63.-Untl further orders the citi-
Zens Oh Baltimore city and county are proiiD-
tied from keeping arms in their possession un-
lsSS ~''4"ited - 'uIuttoe4 US...r -
defence Of their homes"
In accordance with the foregoing order, the
dwellings OF the citizens are being visited by
the provost marshal and police to obtain the
arms in their possession.
We learn from Il gentleman who was at
Westminster, and prisoner in the hands OF
the rebels during their sojourn in that town,
that General Stuart, with his cavalry force,
reached there about 5 o'clock in the after
noon, and did not leave until daylight the
next morning. The rebel party who had
fight with the Delaware cavalry was General
Stuart's advance guard, and numbered about
300. The rebels lost in that fight two lieu
tenants killed, and fully dozen wounded
One of the wounded was an officer, who was
shot by an citizen who took part in the fight,
and he is reported to have since died
Col milford, the commander of the rebel
advance guard, admitted to the citizens that
the charge OF the Delaware cavalry was most
brave ana daShlng, but he thought very rash,
in view Of the disparity of numbers. The
wounded was greater than ours. Our loss
was two prlvates killed and twenty-eight ia
ken prisoners. The rebels also captured
Lieut.. Bowman, and the provost marshal of
Westminster, with ten of his meu. The reb.
ell sympathizers OF Westminster are charged
with having given information as to Union
citizens, though the rebels in their levy on
storekeepers, treated all alike. Fitchs dry
goods store was completely Quilted. Bowen
4 Geher, commission merchants at the depot,
lost heavily, and Mexill & Orndorf suffered to
the amount of 500 in flour and feed The
rebels stole all the horses along the roads they
travelled, as well as those in the town, but
they were in too much Of a hurry to scour the
side roads. The rebel officers visited the
houses of rebel sympathizers, and Gen. Stuart
took tea at the house Of John G. Frye, cashier
of the Westminster Bank, where he was re-
ceiyed with all the honors. The rebels left
on Tuesday morning, and few hours after
wards division of the federal army reached
the town, causing great rejoicing among the
loyal citizens. The federal soldiers were
welcomed with every demonstration Of joy,
and the houses were thrown open to dispense
their hospitality. The rebel force was from
1000 to 5000 rebel cavalry

THERE are now standing, in thrifty con-
dition, on piece of pasture land owned by
Mr.. Samuel d. Ward, at Waveriy, about a
dozen white oaks, which are undoubtedly,
taken as a collection, the largest trees in Mas
sachusetts. One of them measures, at the
distance of about six feet from the ground,
sixteen feet in circumference, while the spread
or shade OF the branches is not less than one
hundred and two feet in diameter. Some four
years since, one of the trees (and at that time
the largesD was blown over, having become
unsound at the heart. The trunk of that one
is described as having been perfect eddy.

markable for its symmetry and for the quaint
ty of solid timber in its branching limbs. DR.
Estes Howe of Cambridge gives it as his opin-
ion that these trees are from five hundred tc
one thousand years of age. Near the felC
in which these oaks stand is an elm, which i.
thought to be the finest and largest in Middle.
sex county. The big elm on Boston common
is quite shrub in comparison with it.
