John Bull hiss found still another bone
of contention. The federal cause would
have to be an q srtful dOdger' indeed, if it
escaped running against some Of the
crooks and corners Of English prejudice
--usuueraDIe s~eIf-conceit. This time,
America is catching it in the tory press Of
London, simply because an advertisement
appears in the shipping list, of a French
shin loading for the West Indies.
con there be in this to try even English
tomnsrs Has not a French ship the right
a. load for the West Indies2 And have
he n no right to advertise the fact ?
And what in the name Of common sense,
has the Federal Government to do with it?
Why, just this: England claims TO be
mistress Of the seas and to 60 where she
likes. To advertise a French ship as up
for the West Indies is to proclaim that q
French vessel has an advantage over an
English one. What can that advantage be,
except greater immunity from capture by
federal cruisers. The danger from those
cruisers is so great that English merchants
consider it safer 10 send their goods In
French bottoms. Hence, the supremacy Of
British commerce is attacked and British
arrogance is placed under cOntemPti ergo, it
is all a national insult and the American
Government is responsible. That's the
line of British logic, and a stupid and
laundering line it is, too. If, instead of such
jauniieed reasoning, common sense was
brought into requisition, it would speedily
be seen that the English have only them
selves to blame for the insult" If a
French ship is safer than an English one,
Bow camos it2 There must be SOM logi-
cal reason. That reason is found in the
fact that all the history Of the blOckadiDg
aeet and its captures does not present q
single case, SO far as we have heard, Of
the attempt to run the blockade by a
French vessel. Almost every one of them
has been by English vessels. Is it any
wonder that when a vessel shows English
colors, she should be looked upon with
suspicion by our cruisers and duly watch
ed or o~verhauled, while if the French flag is
shown, they say to her "Pass on, you are
all right7" This is the sole and absolute
reason ,Uty a French ship should be safer
than an English one. The English curses
Of the Federal Government thus come to
roost.
It will be well for the French Govern
msnt and for French commerce if the out
cry raised in the English prints will pre-
vent the sending Of any co%ntraband goods
by French vessels, as, in that case, the lat
ter would, in time, come to be regarded
with a suspicion which has grown to be a
certainty in regard to English bottoms.

Governor RucEIurhnm,s message.


Governor Buckingham was i~naugurated
for the sixth time, at Hartford on the 9th
inst. From his plain and practical mes
sage, we quote the closing paragraphs:
When a local institution has become
entwined with every surrounding interest
until its friends and supporters, under an
apprehension that the government may
eventually assume and exercise unconsti-
t~utional power, TO hold in check its increas-
ing influence and Unsuitable demands !;
conspire to use such Institution as a means
of destroying the government-and if, in
the exercise Of its proper functions, the
government obtains control of q portion Of
the elements which compose that institu-
ton would it not be the duty Of the sd-
ministration to use the power thus re-
quired to o%verWhelm and destroy the cen
spirators2"
"Would it not be right for the psrricide
to perish by the instrument which he had
forged for the life Of his guardian and
protector"
whatever Of trial, suffering or privs-
ton may be in store for US, or however long
may be the controversy firm in the faith
that u nation will be preserved in its in
tegrity, let Us in adversely as well as in
prosperity, in darkness as well as in light,
give the Administration our counsel, our
confidence and u support that its power
may drive those who have oriminally con-
spired against the liberties Of the people,
as vagabonds AMI fugitives through the
earth, or inhict upon them the penalties
justly due for their treason.
"Lett the r~etribution be so terrible that fu-
ture generations shall not dare to repeat
the crime.
"Then and then only, shall the wrongs of
an injured people be avenged, human
rights be vindicated, and constitutional
authority be re-established."

This refuge Of disease should be located
where the most benefit may be derived by
the patients at the least injury to the gen
eral health. Amovement is on foot fOrthe
establishment of a Hospital in this city, to
be under the supervision Of the Sisters of
Charity. We understand that it is pro-
posed to locate the institution upon lot on
Hudson street, which has been, or will be,
donated for the purpose. To show the error
Of carrying out this plan, it is only neces-
sary to say that this is in the midst of a
thickly settled neighborhood and directly
opposite the HudsOn street school house. OF
course there is no restriction placed upon
the diseases which are to be admitted into
The Hospital. Among them will frequently
be found those which are contagious. Is
It right that the children who gather daily
in that public school, should be in such
close proximity to the diseases which it
is especially desired that they should
avoid? The erection of a Hospital is a
work of mercy, but that mercy should be
administered with discretion. A remon-
STRANGE is to be presented to the City
Council this evening against this location,
by property n and residents in the
vicinity.

Benrdlne the Lion in His Den.


From Cambridge (BGd) In~telligencer, April 25l
We were present at the Great Union
Mass Meeting in Baltimore IN Monday
evening last. Never did we witness such
a magnificent popular demonstration. The
assemblsge was as remarkable for the
glowing enthusiasm Of its loyalty, as for
the majesty Of its numbers. There were
no conditions to its patriotism. The speak
ers and the people clearly entertained the
same brood comprehension of and uncondi-
tiOnsl devotion to, the great conflict of the
age. This is shown not only by the
speeches delivered, but by the resolutions
which were offered. The two following
have the ring Of the true metal, and give
out no uncertain sound:
ResoIUed, That the origin and progress
Of the rebellion leave no room to doubt
that the institution of slavery has become
an instrument in the hands of traitors to
build an oligarchy, an aristOcracy on the
ruins of republican liberty. That its con-
tinued existence is incompatible with the
maintenance Of republican forms of gov
eminent in the States in subordiRation to
the Constitution Of the United Stdtss: and
that the Emancipation Proclamation of the
President ought to be made LdD by Con-
gress, and fact by all the power placed by
Congress in the hands of the President.
That traitors have 10 right to enforce the
obedience of slaves; and that against
traitors in arms, the President should use
all men, white or black, in the way they
can be most useful, and to the extent they
can be used, whether it be to handle a
spade or shoulder a musket.
RESOLVED, That the safety and interest of
the State of Maryland, and especially Of
her white laboring people, require that
slavery should cease to be recognized by
the law of Maryland, and that the aid of
the United States, as recommended by the
President, ought to be asked and accepted
to alleviate the public and private incOn-
venience incident TO the change.
The fact that these two resolutions were
read twice, and the wild enthusiasm with
which that vast assemblage received them,
is evidence enough that the public mind is
becoming fully alive to the malicious char
acter of slavery. Our people are begin
ming to see the absolute necessity for its
destruction, and they are going to work at
it in right good earnest. All the speakers
upon this occasion handled the "peculiar
institution" without gloves. There was
no lodging the question. The issue was
met boldly and squarely. The lion was
bearded in his den. Here in a slave State,
where until recently to hold the opinion
that slavery was wrong vas treated almost
as treason, men now dare to assail the
monster in his own home. The voice of
this meeting will drive the tyrant Slavery
from his throne in Maryland. That Union
man must have q hard cheek, who will
dare at this day to defend slavery. And
that Union man is just no Unionist at all,
who will let slavery weighs feather in the
scale of his patriotism. Its assault upon
our liberties, as well as upon our peace, is
enough to make every patriot blush to
speak its amt.

How COIOred Soldiers are TO be Treated
The following letter from Governor An
drew of Massachusetts,, is in reply to ques-
tons addressed him by Mr.. Downing, con-
corning the position Of cOlOred troops in
respect to pay, equipments, bounty and
protection, compared with tIut of white
volunteers:
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS, |
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, Boston, March %. :
GEORGE T. DowSINe, ESQ, New YoRK:
DEAR SR:-In reply to your inquiries
made as 10 the position Of colored men
who may be enlisted and mustered into
the volunteer service Of the United States,
1 would say that their position, in respect
to pay, equipments, bounty, or any aid
and protection, when so mustered, will be
precisely the same, in every particular, as
that of any and all other volunteers.
l desire further to state to you, that
when I was in Washington, on one occa-
sion. in an interview with Mr.. Stanton, the
Secretary of War, he stated in the most
emphatic manner that he would never
consent that free cOlored men should be
accepted into the service to serve as sol
diers in the South, until he should be as.
sured that the Government of the United
States was prepared to guarantee and de-
fend, to the last dollar and the last man,
to these men, all the rights, privileges and
immunities that are given, by the laws Of
civilized warfare, to other soldiers. Their
present acceptance and muster-in, as SOL
diers, pledges the honor of the nation in
the same degree and to the same rights
with all other troops. They will be sol
diers Of the Union-nothing less and moth
ing different. 1 believe they win earn for
themselves an honorable fans, v~indicating
their race and redeeming their future from
the ]aspertions Of the past.
am yours truly, JOHN A. ANDREW.

Infamous swIndls upon soldiers.

The New Albany Ledger says it has
heard Of a most outrageous system of
sWindling which is being perpetrated upon
soldiers travelling between that city and
Henderson. It appears that persons rep
r~esenting themselves as agents of Indians
and having forged commissions, purport-
ing to be issued by Governor Morton, take
passage on the boats plying between the
ports above named. Their first labor is to
ascertain whether any sick, discharged,
or furloughed soldiers are aboard, and if
there they next set to work to swindle
them out Of all the money they may have.
These %scoundrels represent themselves as
detectives, appointed to arrest deserters
and soldiers absent from their regiments
without leave; and BY representing the
papers of discharged and furloughed men
as wrongly made out, they excite the fears
Of the soldier, and finally offer, on the
payment BY him of a sum Of money, to sl-
low him to pass without arrest. In this
manne many soldiers have lately been
heeosd out Of their hard-earned money.

Incidents of the Battles and the Retreat

A correspondent says that it is a little
singular that General sickles and every
division commander in his corps should
have been struck by the missiles Of the en-
envy. A spent piece of shell struck GEN
eral sickles square in the breast but did
no more than fOrcibly remind him of his
situation.
Berry fell dead in battle, Whipple was
mortally wounded by q sharpshoOter, and
has since died. Birney was also hit by
8 piece Of shell, but received no injury.

n%Iorsmertr nd PredichonI.

We gather from eastern journals some
items Of both interest and Importance, II
they are true. For this we cannot voueh.
The Philadelphia Dispatch Of Sunday
morning has a Washington dispatch, dated
the midnight before, saying that on Friday
morning last General Hooker re-orOssed
the RappshannOck with two Corps q Ar
NEE. After accommodating the old posi-
ton held by him at Charlottesville, he
found that the enemy had fallen back,
leaving hundreds Of his wounded behind
and his dead unburied.
APhiladelphia dispatch of Sunday to the
Cincinnati Commercial says that at day
break, on Friday morning, General Hooker
pushed forward two corps of his army across
the RappahannOOk. They we're under com
mand of General Sedgwick, who advanced
them over to the south and west, with eau
ton. They gathered up the wounded that
we're left on the field of the recent battle,
comprising both soldiers of the Union and
rebels in arms, and buried the dead. When
they reached the wilderness, the scene Of
the recent severe conflict, they discovered
the woods on fire, and found the eharred
remains Of a large number OF soldiers
mostly rebels, who had crept to the woods
to avoid being trampled on by the armyin
the retreat.
At an early hour Sunday morning Gen
eral Hooker completed the crossing Of hii
entire army, together with his artillery
and ample supplies Of ammunition anC
stores to last him eight days. As soon al
he was across the whole seven corps wer'
placed in motion and deplOyed right an(
left in search of the enemy, who, at lates
dates. had not been found in force.
General Hooker does not desire rein
forcements, but considers that the army h
has already under his command is as largI
as he can muster.
We have had too long experience Of wa.
rumors to place much confidence inpredic
tiions, but give the following for what the.
are worth. The Washington Chronicle o
Sunday says:
haot noana of knowing
that General Hooker will soon demohstrat
both his capacity and patriotism, and lea
the army to victory, thorough and com
plete."
Saturday evenings last edition Of tn
Washington Star contained the following
awe apprehend that those who imagin
that the events of the past week upon tn
Rappahannock had naturally damaged the
efficiency Of General HOokers army will
ere long, find themselves much mistaken
Il will not be very long before the rebel
will find that what they now claim as
victory, has damaged them vastly NOR
than it damaged the Union army Of tn
Potomac, for what will follow in thi
springs campaign in that quarter. Stone
man, in his return from his late bril1an
cavalry raid, re-crossed the R%appahannocl
at Kelly's Ford, and has reported to Gen
eral Hooker at Falmouth. The distance
traversed and the amount Of work accom-
plisbed by the different columns Of Stone
mans Cavalry on their mission, establish
es the feat as quite beyond the most dar
ing and successful achievements Of tn
rebel cavalry during the war
