The Boston Post defends Franklin Pierce
from blame on account of his disloyal letter
to jeff Davis. Admitting that the letter is
genuine, the Post speaks of it as follows =
"That letter to JEFF. Davis, which Gen. Pierce
wrote nearly year before Mr.. Lincoln's cleo
tion,-a private, personal, and hasty letter to
an;old friend and official associate,-and when
the idea of forcible dissolution of the Union
was secuted by Mr.. Wilson and his associates
as gross absurdity," &c. The Post would
have it understood that Pierce is all right, and
that nobody is wrong but the republicans,
who sustain the government, denounce the
rebels, and firmly believe that political power
in this republic should not return to the hands
of such men as Franklin Pierce.
We do not see how it can justify the dis
loyal spirit and words of that letter to saw
that, when it was written, ''Mr. Wilson and
his associates" gave the traitors credit for
more honesty and patriotism than they pos
sessed, and, therefore, secuted the idea of a
forcible dissolution of the Union;" or, rather,
the idea that any considerable number of men
in the country were bad enough to undertake
to destroy it. That letter speaks for itself. 1t
said to JEFF. Davis in the plainest words, that
the secession traitors were right, and it en-
couragedth them to proceed with their bad work
by giving assurances that they had the warm
est sympathy of Gen. Pierce and his associ-
ates, and that whenever the attempt to break
up the Union should come, the fighting would
be here at the north, within our own Dor
ders, in our own streets, between the two
classes to whom have REFEREED Ex-presi-
dent Pierce and his associates would fight on
the side Of the southern traitors. so that
they could be sure of having it all their own
way.
What must have been the influence If srol,
letters on the leading conspirators at the time
when they were celebrating whether thew
should or should not engage in open and ma
lignant treason and involve the country in
civil WARP If they had not received such as
surances from prominent men at the north it
is probable that they would have shrunk from
the attempt to carry out their conspiracy. II

The News from Arkansas.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. PA dispatch from Lit

The Expedition to Texas.

New YORK, Sept. 26.-By the arrival of
the steamship Cahawba, from New Orleans,
intelligence is received that the troops which
were engaged in the Sabine Pass exhibition
have been disembarked and are to comprise
part of the expedition overland to Texas.
The troops were, on the departure of the
steamer, moving towards Breshear City and
Berwick Bay as rapidly as, by the railroad
transportation between Algiers and those
points, they could be sent forward. The
force which originally was to go by that route
will thus be so much strengthened as to rem
der the expedition formidable one. 1t is
stated on good authority that our forces were
crossing Berwick Bay with their traius, and
that part of the troops are already on their
march westward. The occupation Of Texas
by our troops is regarded in New Orleans as
fixed fact

Important Rumors From Washington.

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-The Mercury's (not
always trustworthy special from Washing
ton gives the following rumors :-"That Gen.
Meades army is retreatng to Washington.
That two ii not three corps are en- route to
ROsecrans' army by the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad; tina heavy detachment of the same
army is on board transports to reinforce Gen.
Gilmore; that the latter is instructed to cap
ture Charleston at once and march inland to
Branchville, sixty miles distant, the possess
sion Of which would stop all communication
between Lees and Bragg'S armies that the
administration recognizes the fact that north
ern Georgia is to be the great battlefield of
the Union, and is concentrating 10000 men
under Rosecrans to mBke a sure thing of it:
that Gen. Meade will retain com mand in front
of Washington with Il diminished army.
There is no danger to be apprehended from
the rebels, as the bulk of Lees forces are GER
tainly with Bragg. The foregoingis given for
what it is worth.
New YORK, Sept. 27.-The Herald's Wash
ington correspondent reports that rumor says
the resignation of Burnside is accepted.
| Hooker is talked of as his successor.
BY recent exchanges fifteen thousand sol
diers heretofore released on parole will be re.
turned to duty and added to the effective
strength of the Union armies. Four hundred
exchanged cavalry arrived at the cavalry
camp to-day from the parole camp at Annap-
oils. About as many more are on the way.
| Four hundred deSerters from the army OF the
| Potomac were sent to the front to-day.
About 2000 Union exchanged prisoners ar
rived from Richmond at Annapolis, Friday
night.
The delegation here from Missouri are said
to be unanimously in favor of General Butler
for successor to Gen. Schofeld. They ex-
| press a determination to remain till the latter
is removed, and Butler, or some equally ac-
ceptable commander, appointed. They are
preparing for an interview with the president.
THE REPORTS CoNTRADICTED.
| PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 27.-The report in the
| New York Saturday evening and Sunday
morning papers, that the government has
taken possession of the Baltimore and Ohio
| railroad, it has been ascertained from the best
of sources, is incorrect. The government has
availed itself to some extent OF the large facil
tiles of the road for governmentpurposes, but
without interfering with the regular through
| trains for either passengers or freight
Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1863-09-28

BosToN, Sept. 26.-The Anglia, from Gal
way Sept 10, has arrived. Advices from
Cherbourg, in the Courier du Havre, state
that the conf ederate. steamer Alabama is pro-
badly about to visit that port. Letters adj
dressed to Capt. Semmes give some founda
ton to the rumor.
PARIS, Sept. I3.-The Pays of this even
ing believes itself able to state that the mari
time project of Brest has opposed the seizure
of the Florida in consequence of an order
from Paris, issued, as the Pays asserts, with
the object of preserving the lnviolability Of
the harbor as a military post.
The gates of Warsaw are closed ten days
to any person entering or going out. Two
hundred of the inhabitants have been tram
ported to Siberia. The Russian authorities
have imposed enormous taxes upon the an
cient provinces of Poland.
The reply of Prussia to the collective letter
Of the German princes will not be collective
answer, but will be sent separately to each
| sovereign who signed the letter. The reply
will merely contain the reasons of Prussia
for not accepting the Austrian project of re-
| form, touching upon hardly any other point,
and certainly not bringing forward any coun-
| ter proposals.
TURN, Sept. l2.-The Stampa of this eve
ming asserts that in consequence OF the re-
prlsals adopted by the papal government to-
ward the Italian consul at Rome, the Italian
government will withdraw the exequatur from
all the pontificial consuls resident in the cities
of Italy. The same paper says circular has
been issued by the Father provincial Capu-
chins, in the Bacilta and at Salerno, accepting
the invitation of the ministry, relating to the
assistance of the clergy in repI essing brigand-
| age.
COPENHAGEN, Sept. 13.-The king of the
Greeks signed the agreement relating to the
succession to the Danish throne, yesterday.
By this agreement, King George renounces
his right of succession in favor of his younger
brother and his heirs. King George himself,
and his own line, then become last in the or
der of succession to the Danish crown.

From Washington.

WAsHINGToN, Sept. 27.-There is no pros
pect of the conflict between General Meade's
army and the rebel forces, which accounts
from the Rapidan recently predicted as immi-
nent.
Lieut. H. Williams, Co. D, 14th Brooklyn
volunteers, while riding yesterday towards
Roxbyville, was attacked by two guerrillas in
citizens dress, and shot through the leg, so
the west side of the Rapidan, eight miles
from the headquarters of the army OF the Po-
toniaC.
From what can be ascertained, the latest
dispatches from Gen. Rosecrans show the
condition of affairs to be more hopeful.

SUPPOSED MURDER OF WIFE BIZ HER
HUsBAND.-A woman named Mary Clancy,
wife of Thomas Clancy, residing in an iso-
lated house 'oif Shrewsbury street, near
Gates slaughter house was found dead by the
police on Friday night last, lying entirely
naked at the bottom of the cellar of the house.
The body was found partially covered with
leaves and an old bed-quilt. The attention of
the police was called to the place by the state
ments of two or three of the children, from
nine to fourteen years old, who had been de-
MED admission to the house by their father, and
who sadthey saw him wheeling their mother on
wheelbarrow toward the house, and that she
was then dead. The father, who was found
in bed with his little daughter, two or three
years old, when the police reached the house,
was arrested on suspicion of having caused
the death, and taken to the lookup. His
statement is, that he found her dead in the
cellar that forenoon, and covered her up.
He says she had been out in the rain, and
came in and took off her dress, and hung it
up to dry, and lay down in the eel
lar, as was often her custom when she
was intoxicated. He says that finding her
dead, he wheeled her from the house down to
the brook to wash her, and took her back
again to the cellar. There were some marks
of bruises upon the body, but apparently hard
ly sufficient to have caused her death. COro-
ner j. b. Sibley was notified, and empanneled
a jury of inquest, which will meetthis morning
at nine o'clock, at the office of Mr. Sessions,
undertaken, on Front street, where the body
now is. post norton examination has been
jury of inquest.
Clancy will be held to await ADMINISTRATION.
