die 70 fn the Rebel Armies.


10 another column we give an order from
General Candy, publishing for information an
extract from letter to the rebel Secretary OF
War, written by Henry W. Allen, who claims,
in the interest Of the rebellion, to be the Gov
ernor Of Louisiana. In this letter the rebol
dignitary uses very distinct language in rela-
ton to putting negro troops in the rebel army.
He declares that "ths time has come" for the
adoption and enforcement Of that measure.
bodied negro man." He would put negroes
there, not as laborers or teamssers, but Gas
/ soldiers" And be would put then there i'm
mediately. His reasons for this are good.
One OF them 10 that the negro is the cause Of
the war. aud ought to bear part Of the burden
Of IL; and another is that he is convinced, "by
dear bought experience, that negroes can be
taught to fight" His third reason is that men
are scarce, and that all the white mon are
killed or have run away, and that the negro
will be better than no men at all to "swell the
now depleted ranks OF the rebel army.
We gave few days ago an extract from
Richmond paper urging the rebel government
to put quarter Of million Of negroes in the
rebel army, and we now have the same en-
ployment Of negro soldiers urged from the
other extremity Of the rebellious States. It is
apparent, therefore, that the subject has taken
. firm hold of the minds Of the rebel leaders,
and is extensively agtated by persons Of high
position in the rebel councils. This mat
ter has only made its way into those councils
by the desperate pressure Of great necessity.
These rebel leaders see that more nen are
necessary, and that unless they Immediately
have more men the rebel cause is gone.
They see, also, that they have no longer
any white men, and so they fall, as
their last and only resource, upon the
niggers. But Mr.. Allen also declares that the
nigger is the cause OF the war. Thus We see
this bigh.strung ccnfederacy last home Of
chivalry on earth---this government Of men
too good for association with ordinary NOR
tals--disposed to employ as its soldiers, as
the champions Of its cause, that despised
race which il has trampled under loot
II acknowledges that Il fights for the perpetu-
stion Of slavery, and that IT has 40 one left TO
nght its battles but those very slaves whose
freedom II fights against.
Il remains TO be seen whether the rebel
government will put negroes into its armies;
and when II does, II win then remain to be-
seeu wbetbcr negroes who can be taught 10

The CHcISy,T PIECE CoSvENrIoy--"Moy-
stEun ToNsoS CoNE Ac.N.r-A little cluster Of
implacable copperhead peace-mongcrs have
been figuring away for a day or two in Presi-
dental peace conve ntion, in Mozart Hall, Gin
cinnati. Among the shining lights thus assem-
bled in council we find Hon. Alexander Long,
of Ohio; Hon. J. W. Singleton. OF Illinois; the
visionary w. N. Cory, Of Ohio, formerly o
notwithstanding associate of George Sanders,
and the inevitable and irrepressible Colorado
Jewett Singleton and Jewett appear to be
the master spirits Of the concern. The objects
OF their convention is difficult to conjecture.
II Lincoln or Mcclellan will only accept tbei
peace platform they will take either Lincoln or
Mcclellan, II not both. But they are very
bitter on Mcclellan. The delegates say they
were treated shabbily at Chicago, and scurvily
BY Mcclellan, and SO they are all required to
pledge themselves against Mcclellan. "They
think his dawdling in politics is like his shilly.
shally military policy" and they "prefer the
sharp and vigorous policy Of the administra-
tion." But, for all that, they talk Of Long for
President and Singleton for Vice President, a.
their ticket for peace-at-any- price. What this
Monsieur Tonson convention Is really driving
at We shall probably learn in . day or TIVE in
another peace manifesto from Jewett to Qseen
Victoria, Lsuis Napoleon or the Psps Of
Rome.

Az ENGLISH SECESSION DoCuMEyr.-A very
peal to the people of the United States from
''the people" Of Great Britain TO make peace
with the South and acknowledge its independ
snce, has been recently seat 10 this country.
aud no doubt pretty extensively circulated. 1t
was forwarded to Governor Seymour, with a
private note signed by . certain Henry de
Hoghton, Baronet; but copie. Of the paper,
with other autographed private notes, were
also sent to the editors Of several newspapers
Upon the spirit or 'style Of this document we
have no comment to make; but as its purport
is evidently not understood either by the public
upon il, We will statetha we know positively,
and have known for some time, that il was got
up In London by the secession agents there, and
that the names-which we are told number
three hundred and ffty thousand-wsre OBJ
tanned through tho afiliation of these same
agents, ofwhom Sir Henry de Hoghton may be
one for all we know. The object OF Il Is to
make capital for Jefferson Davis, aud nothing
else.
We have seen for long time that the rebel
lion was giving way. The indications Of every
day show more and more that its hours are
numbered, aud that mot the most desperate
efforts Of its sdherents can save it. The weak
and illogical letter Of Mr.. Stephens, The sdmis-
sions forced from JEFF Davis in bis late speeches

majority. Some Of the later returns from
regiments in the field, received at Harris
burg. show decided democratic preponder-
ance. but not sufficient to counterbalance the
republican majorlties heretofore reported from
the soldiers.
The republicans still claim sixteen Congress
men. As sample how they figure this apd
how we'll foanded their assertion is will be
seen from the Twelfth Congressional district
They claim the election of Ketcham, republi-
can, when the official vote Of the district shows
that Charles Dennison, democrat, has twelve
hundred and forty-thres majority in this dis
trict. This certainly does not look very much
as they have elected as many as they
claim. In two other districts, put down In the
Tribune as having elected republican Congress
men, the democratic candidates have received
q majority on the home vote, and no statement
Of the soldiers vote has yet been made show
ing that their majorites have been overcome.
II lying will give the republicans sixteen Con-
gressmen they may secure them, for they bave
done enough of that to entitle them to q uuani-
nous republican delegation from the State.
1t also appears that the political complexion
Of the State Senate is in doubt, both sides
claiming two majority.
WHAT THE SOUTH ARE FiGHrING FoR.-The
attempt Of the rebel leaders to convince their
friends in England that they are only fighting
for their independence, by which statement they
hoped to retain their support and sympathy, is
of the same character with most Of their other
pretences. We copy from late Richmond
paper paragraph which gives ths lie to those
who assert they are fighting for their inde-.
pendence:-
Our doctrine is this We fighting for Independence.
slavery shall preserved aud the preservation Of
other institutions OF which slavery Is the groundwork
|. Slavery has existed more through the guar
antees OF the constitution than by any ether
means. But for the treason of the South it
would have remained what ii was, and if it is
overthrown, as necessity OF war, the rebels
| may blame themselves for its destruction.
| Now the rebels intend to free half million
of slaves and make soldiers OF them for the
preservation of the institution!

Revolutions fn south Americ allow
They may be Prevented.
The latest news from South America
informs US that tho flames Of civil war
arc on the eve Of once more breaking out
among these interesting and industrious
but ever unfortunate people. New Granada
has just emerged from Q bloody conflict, and
yet there are numerous indications that she
will not be permitted to enjoy protracted
peace. Ecuador Is nominally ct peace, but
her central position between two revolution
ary States may ct any smoment plunge her
into the sanguinary difficulties Of war. Vene-
zuela, whose history is one continual struggle,
has enjoyed order and unity very short time.
But few months ago We were told that the
republic was completely pacifed and that all
revolutions were ct an end. Our Havana cor
respondent now informs US, on positive data,
that . new revolution has broken out in that
country. In the meantime the war in St Domingo
and Mexico is still drawing its slow length
along, while serious troubles, il not actual
war, are darkening the peaceful skies Of Peru,
Chile, Uruguay and the other small republics
OF the South.
Now, while these small and dependent
communities are wasting their strength and
energy on the consideration Of useless local
questions, the Powers of Europe haye been
and are still seeking for opportunities to
destroy their nationality. The intestine divi-
sions of the United States led to the war in
which the North and South are now engaged;
and had it not bsen for our formidable
strength Europe would long since have inter-
fered in our domestic quarrel. The nations
of the Old World however, dare not come
between the wrath Of such nation as this.
With the petty republics of South America
they may and do interfere, because the greatest
of all republics, which gives tone to all the
| governments Of the world, is now engaged in a
strife that admits Of no other consideration. Yet
| the cause Of the smaller republics is the cause
OF the United States. We look with regret
| upon the intestine divisions of the South Ame-
| rican nationaities; for in their differences
European nations find their opportunity and
| strike at them accordingly.
| The duty Of these republics is to consolidate
| their strength and to improve all their means
/ Ot OeieNce. Wulie lucy HuSs De always Prc'
pared to do justice to European nations, they
must be as fully prepared to insist on justice for
themselves. All divisions and prejudices must
be set aside when common danger threatens
the well.being Of a common cause. Fer the
| present, neither Mexico nor Peru can expect
any MD from the United States which, properly
| speaking, is the "big brother Of the American
republics; but let each Of them do their duty
in as far as their power will permit, and when
| the rebellion s crushed, as it must sooD be,
the despots Of Europe had better look out for
hard knocks in reconpense for their dastardy
| conduct to those weak nations OF this continent
which cannot cope with them in physical
power, but whom it is part Of the duty OF the
| United States to assist and protect.

A THREAT WHICH SHOULD BE REGARDED AS
A WARNMG.-Thc Richmond Wig in discuss
ing the sweeping work of desolation done by
in order to render 1t untcnable to a rebel army,
suggests a scheme OF retaliation of which we
have had some intimations heretofore. This
scheme is the appropriation by the rebel author
tiles of the sum of ono million of pillars for
the hiring of a gang Of trusty and intelligent
incendiaries "to burn one of the chief cities OF
the enemy" The Wing says "nothing would
be easier;" that "the men to execute the work
are already there;" that, for instance, "twenty
men, with plans all preconcerted aud means
provided, selecting some dry, windy night,
might Gre Boston in hundred places" aud
that il the Yankees retalste, ait is game at
which we can beat them. New York is worth
twenty Richmonds." Finally, says the Wing,
"if the executive is not ready for this, we CON-
mend the matter to the secret deliberations Of
the Congress about to meet
We are assured that our guardians of
law and order, civil and military, are on the
watch but they canno. be too visilant hence

also admonish our fellow citizens who have a
substantial interest ia the maintenance of law
and order not only in this city. but in all the
other great cities of the loyal States TO be
vigilant and active till after the Presidential
election; and to bear in mind this timely warn
ing from Richmond, that "twenty men, with
plans all preconcerted and means provided"
could lay Boston, New York or Cincinnati in
ashes, and that 'the men to execute the work"
are already on the ground.
