Letter from the Pope,

Archbishop Hughes has received from
Pope Plus TX. a letter on the subject ot
the American difficulties. 1t expresses
the deep af1iction of the venerable Pre-
late in view of the "truly lamentable
state in which the Christian people of the
United States of America are placed by
the destructive civil war broken out
among them," and urges upon the faith
full to offer up their prayers in behalf Of
the restoration of peace and tranquility.
We quote the following paragraphs:
Take every pains, besides, to cause the
people and their chief rulers seriously to
reflect on the grievous evils with which
they are afflicted, aud which are the re-
suits of civil war, the direst, most de.
structive aud dismal of all the evils that
could befall a people or nation.
Neither omit to admouish and exhort
the people and their supreme rulers, even
in our name, that with conciliated minds
they would embrace peace, and love each
other with uninterrupted charity. For
We are confident that they would comply
with our paternal admonitions and heark-
en- to our words the more willingly, as of
themselves they plainly and clearly un-
derstand that we are influenced by no po.
litical reasons, no earthly considerations,
but impelled solely by paternal charity to
exbort them to charity and peace. And
study, with your surprising wisdom, to
persuade all that true prosperity, even in
this life, is sought for in vain out of the
true religion of Christ and its salutary
doctrines. mt na' vi4 ."
Wehave no hesitation, venerable bro
ther, but that calling to your aid the SER
vices and. assistance, even Of your associ-
ate bishops, you would abundantly satisfy
these our wishes, and by your wise aud
prudent efforts bring matter of such
moment to a happy termination. q

The New Soldiers.

How THEY Try TO EscAPE.-The
Philadelphia Inquirer, Aug. 4, says.
The scenes at the Government Barracks
for substitutes and drafted men, at the
corner of Twenty second and Wood
streets, are at times quite exciting and
amusing. A woman was detected in send
ing to substitute, as ameans of escape,
a pairsof Sergeant's cheyrpns. She hoped,
by adopting these evidences Of greatness,
that the person in question would be able
to escape without any possibility of detec-
tion, but her well.laid plans were detect
ed and the Government was saved the
amount of three hundred dollars, the price
of the substitute. A letter, which had
been addressed tc another substitute, on
being opened, was found to contain pair
of shoulder straps, such as would be suit
able for a captain; these were to be worn
by the person for whom they. were inten-
ded, after leaving the building.
Two persons, named Myers and Kelly,
applied for permission to enter the bar
racks, representing that they were citi-

kers. pass was given them, however,
and trap set into which they fell. They
are now in custody Of the Provost Mar
shal, and will be sent to Fort Delaware.
These men had secreted upon their per-
sons an extra suit of citizens clothing,
which they furnished to one of the substi-
tutes, who would have undoubtedly made
his escape in a few minutes. ~
' One evening last week the substitutes
amused themselves by throwing bottles at
the sentinels on duty, and disturbance
OF serious character would have ensued
but for the determination of the guards,
whose well directed shots restored order
in few minutes. '', "'f

Horrible Murder by Negro Soldiers
Whole Family Assassinated in Cold

A gentleman con nected with this office
who arrived here from Memphis day be-
fore yesterday gives Information Of one of
the most horrible transactions that it has
been our lot to record during this war -
The boat landed at place called Compro-
mise, III Tennessee, near the dividing line
between that State and Kentucky, where
the particulars Of the awful affair were
learned from the neighbors. On Tues
day last, the 4th instant, eighteen negro
soldiers, fully armed, having come FROM
the camp on Island No. 10, won't to the
house Of Mr.. Frank Beckham, on the riv-
er; Immediately at Compromise landing,
and murdered him, aged forty years, his
old father, Maj. Benz. Beekham, aged
eighty,) and four children of Mr. r. Beck
ham, Laura aged fourteen, Kate aged ten,
Carolina seven, and Richard aged two
years. They first caught Mr. j. Beck
ham and his aged father, tied them,
marched them to the edge of the bank Of
the river, shot and stabbed them, and
threw their bodies into the water. They
then threw little Dicksinto the river, tied
the two youngest girls together, and threw
themuip, then forced the oldest girl and
beat her oyer the head with their muskets
until she, sank down The bodies of old
Major Bsckhaln and the youngest child
have been recovered. Many of the pas
sengers wentlto the.house and saw them.

Ohio.

Every arbitrary and illegal act, every
instance of administrative cruelty and op.
preston, has vastly strengthened the mum.
bers and added to the high tone of Dem.
ocrats. There are many counties ID the
State where more than three-fourths Of
their voters will cast their suffrages fol
the Democratic ticket. In other large
sections the opposition to Vallandigham
will be inconsiderable and trifing.
90 We count upon an immense and uppre-
cedented majority in the State. Those
who mix the most with the people, and
who see the evidences of public feeling,
put it at the highest figure. The Demo-
cratic car is on the track, aud the locolno-
tive of endangered personal liberty is
sending it along at the rate of sixty miles
an hour, 10 the ballot, box !! to the bal
lot box is the rallying cry Of freemen
throughout Ohio, and they will express
their intentions through it in tone so
loud that it will be understood and not
trifed with again. .. S Gaay !,
NJ This is not an ordinary political con-
test, and has no resemblance to it. Old
political issues are extinct, and the ques-
tion is uponthe preservation of our liber-
ties. Shallw continue to be frse gov
ernment, or shah we have despotism ?---
This has become SO plain and apparent
that tens of, thousands of patriotic and lib
serty-loying men, who have heretofore act
ed with the opposition, will now sustain,
BY their votes, the Democratic organisa-
ton They do SO because it is a conyen;;-
ent rallying point, and a nucleus for the
friends of freedom to gather in a most ip.
portapt struggle. Cincinnati Enquirer

THE DRAFT IN NEW YORK.
ADDRESS OF GEN. DIX.

=
IL has been determined that the draft
shall be resumed qin New York city on
Wednesday, and in view. of this fact Gen.
Dix has issued an address to the citizens,
imploring them to preserAe order and Of
fer no resistance He sets forth the me-
cessity as we'll as the legality of the law !;
reminds the citizens that, in the face. Of
the fact that the accuracy of the enroll
ment has been impugned, the President
has reduced the quota in nearly every
district, and then says s 4
"Under these circumstances no good
citizen will array himself, either by word
or deed, against the draft. Submission to
the law in seasons of tranquility is always
the highest of political duties. But when
the existence Of the government is in
peril, he who resists its authority commits
a crime of the deepest turpitude. He is
the voluntary instrument of those who are
seeking to overthrow it, and becomes him
self public enemy" Moreover, resistance
to the government by those who are liv-
ing under its protection, and are indebted
to it for the daily tenure of their property
and their lives, has not even the palliation
under which those who lead the insurrec-
tion at the South seek to shelter them
selves that they are acting under color
Of authority derived from legislatures or
conventions Of the people in their respec-
tive States. With us resistance to the
constituted authorities, is both treason and
lawless violence; and if there are any
who thus combine to re-enact the scenes
Of cruelty and devastation by which this
city has recently been dishonored, and to
defeat by force of arms tho execution of
the paramount law Congress, they will be
treated as enemies of the country and of
nlankind.'
Gen. Dix concludes by warning all per-
sons disposed to resist the draft ssthat am
pie preparation has been made to vindi-
cate the authority of the government, and
that the first exhibitions Of disorder or vi
olence will be met by the prompt and Wig.
orous measures for their repression"
The quota required from the six dis
tricts of the city has been reduced to
1850 each, making total of 12,3OO men
required from those districts, instead of
26,299 as previously appointed. The
draft is to commence in the sixth district,
embracing the 8tb, 18th and 10Th wards.
Provost Marshal General Fry has ad-
dressed letter to the Secretary of War,
setting forth at great length the details Of
the controversy between the Federal and
State authorities as to the fairness of the
enrolment, and showing the mode in
which it was conducted in the fourth dis
trict of New York city about which he
says much complaint was made, and which
he claims to have been perfectly fair and
honest. He insinuates want of candor on
the part of the State authorities, and, in
concluding, says that there is nothing on
file in the War Department to show that
the cities of New York and Brooklyn
have furnished more than their proportion
of troops from the State of New York. \

No. 10. Six are at large. Thesimmedi-
ate motive for the deed was thought to be
the fact that Mrs. Beckham took up the
river with her anegro girl as nurse, whose
mother had run off, and was at Island No.
10. The negroes had before endeavored
to steal thelgirl away but Mr.. Beckham
drove them off with arms.

4 THE STRENGTH OF Fort WAGNER
A correspondent from the vicinity of
Charleston writes: '.a# 's,aii "
The land batteries are daily continuing
their practice upon Wagner, and it is al
most impossible to tell ofr.the result
Doubtless not much beyond harassing the
enemy is accomplished, for the great sides
of Wagner can receive many 30-pounders
and even Hand 15-inch shot aud shell
without being rendered useless. This
war has certainly developed one fact which
cannot fail to be of infinite Importance
hereafter
1t is the effectiveness of earth and sand
batteries. A well-eonstructed earth-work,
with proper and sufficient ordnance, and
we'll manned, can scarcely be taken. It
seems, in fact, that the shot and shell
thrown into it serve onlyto make it strong
err SAND if the fire be moo iucessant, at
night the men can repair the damage of
the day, and such work may hold out
alAost any time, [ do not think there is
permanent fortiticatiop in the world
which could have stood the fire to which
Wagner has been subjected.

Arrest Of Col. Creager.
CHARGE OF ENrIcINa SLAVES TO ESCAPE.

CHARGf OF ENTlClNG SLAVES TO ESCAPE.
For week or two past considerable feel
ing has prevailed among. the farmers in
Frederick county, Nd, in consequence of
some Of theirsslaves having, it is alleged,
been enlisted in the military service by
Col. j. p. Creager, formerly of this city,
who is said to be recruiting for Col. Bir-
ney's negro regiment. The circnmstan-
ces are related in substance as follows
Among a number Of recruits. obtained
were several slaves, sincluding ope owned
by Mr.. E. Crcager, Union citizen of the
county, and relative of the Colonel
This gave rise to. expressions of disappro-
baton on the part of the Uuiou men of
the county, but nothing transpired until
Sunday last. On that day, it is alleged,
Colonel Creager .ited Frederick city and
attended the African church. After SER
vice he addressed the colored persons
present, and succeeded in inducing sever
al to enlist, among them slave of Mr..
John Loats. Colonel G. soon after left
the town for his camp at Union Bridge in
Carroll county. .,.,..
During the afternoon MI. b, Creager
obtained writ for his arrest and placed
it in the hands of the sheriff of Frederick
county. The latter officer summoned a
posse con,itatus and about nine o'clock at
night overlook and arrested Col G. at the
house of "a colored mau named John Stan
ton, ten miles northeast of Frederick, near
Walkers mill. He was immediately ia
ken back to Frederick city, and after an
examination before Justice Mahony, was
in default of $1,000 bail, committed to
Jail to answer the charge of enticing slaves
to escape from their owners. Under
law of Maryland every person convicted of
enticihg slaves to escape, is subject to an
Imprisonment in the penitentiary for not
less than six nor more than fifteen years.
