~"Msnhatssu, = Tie Infamous sscssh
correspondent Of the Liverpool Post,
writes from New York:
S "New York will have to end the war if
it Is ever ended. She possesses the ele-
ments Of war. Without her the war
could not 60 on week. Unfortunately,
she has no great statesmen or wise men.
She has no guide. She is chained TO the
war car Of President Lincoln. The weak
ness Of such q triAer IS Governor Sey-
incur has Frustrated the Empire City At
the feet OF the Federal authorities. It 10
awful to contemplate. Now people ask:
will New York submit to the draft 2
Twill there not be another riotv No, GER
tainly not. Lincoln will order $4,000
troops 10 the City of New York, and that
will make US oil as quiet as lambs. We
will then submit to tie draft. That is
thssnly way New York City can be held
during March if the draft is ordered
here. viii General Lee permit Lincoln
TO send $4,000 United States troops to
garrison New York City? Alas, We are
hopeless in this city We have a wax
Governor, and very soft wax at that. /
do not know any white man who is 30
generally cursed as il Seymour, although
it is quite evident that he is not worth 3
curse
The difficulty with Governor Seymour
Is, he will not follow the counscls Of the
ultras Of his party, and seek an opportu
nifty to make war with the General Gov
eminent. He has been vigorously pressed
to resist the draft, and drift into war
with the National authorities. Deputa-
tons of copperheads from the West have
visited Governor Seymour, at Albany,
and brought pressure upon him, to take
the lead in Northern instruction. 1t
is proper to say that Mr.. Daniel W..
Voorhees,. of Indiana, member of Con-
gfess from the Terre Haute District, call
ed to see Governor Seymour on this bus
mess, and was exceedingly disguised be-
cause he did not find the Governor ripe
for rebellion.

A Kingston correspondent of the Rail
eigh Confederate, in speaking of the hang
ing on the 9th in Kingston of the 60 cap
tured soldiers, deserters from the reeel
consumption, says the prisoners assembled
the scsffold with firm and elastic steps and
met their fate with unflinching fortitude.
They asked for no quarter and scornfully
spurned all overtures of concession on
condition of returning to duty in the Con-
federate service. The multitude were
moved to tears, and openly denounced
this cruel massacre, which is causing de-
serlons from the Confederate service by
the wholesale and creating an indignation
which 1t is feared will be uncomfortable.
II is reported that the rebels intend hang
ing the entire number of Union soldiers
captured by them from COL Fosters com
maud, 81 in number, half of whom have
never been in the rebel service.
The native Union troops have decided
to take the question of retaliation into
their own hands. The have given their
officers who did not approve of severe
measures an opportunity to resign, and.
have also given warning that immediate
death will be inflicted upon any officer
who offers hereafter to surrender to the
enemy or ask for any quarter.
