Greeley and tho N. Y. Tribune.

Horace Greeley leads the Lincoln
electoral ticket in the State of New
York. 1t is not long ago that Thur
low Weed, in one Of his letters to the
Albany Ereaiag Journal spoke as fol-
lows Of tho Tribune. which Greeley
edits, and Of Greeley himself:
81 have referred frequently to the
incendiary principles of the New
York Tribune, because that journal,
by its vast circulation, exerts malign
influence throughout the whole North.
/ again admonish my countrymen to
shake off this incubus, to cmancipate
themselves from their mental thral-
dom, before all is lost. Mr.. Greeley,
tho infatuated victim Of the widest
ambition, will soon, amid the crash
of worlds and the wreck Of matter,
be seized with remorse that comes
too late / speak not idly. This
Architect Of Ruin, has much to an
swer for. First, while Slidell,
Toombs, Mason, Davis, ETC., were ma
turing their scheme for rebellion, and
tho Gulf States, under their instruc-
tons, were seeding, Mr.. Greeley ap-
proved justified and invited them to
90 forward with thoir reasonable de-
signs"
Yet the "malign influence" Of Gree
loy's paper, and Greeley himself, who
"approved, justified, and invited the
sccessionists to go forward with theil
reasonable designs" is now candi
datc fully identified with lincoln, and
as an ''architect Of ruin" is doing al
be can to rc-elect him.

One point win here strike every dis

One point will here strike every dis
passionate observer. 1t is that Mr..
Lincoln viii not release these men
from tho fact that, such is their bitter
ness against him, they would use their
influence and votes against him mt the
coming election. What other motive
can he have in allowing these men TO
thus suffer and die in southern pris-
ons? 1t cannot be.on account of the
federal negro soldiers held by the
south, for the reason that they do not
hold to-day five hundred; and we can
not suspect even Mr.. Lincoln of the
ineffable infamy of keeping forty thou
sand white men in prison, merely to
guarantee the safety of this small
number of negroes. 1t must then be
that he does it because he fears their
votes. n st ff
Heretofore abolition newspapers
have made ceaseless efforts to fire the
northern heart by assertions with ref
erence to the willful inhumanity Of the
crs. 1t will be seen that, in these
resolutions, the charge that this suf-
fering is intentional, is expressly de-
MED. This denial will, or at least
ought to, silence one of the ten thou
sand howls of the abolition press.
We invite the attention of all men
who have the interest of the country
at heart to these resolutions, and their
obvious inference that Mr.. Lincoln
keeps these men in prison for no 9th
er purpose than to prevent the express
sion of their hostility at the polls in
November.
East Saginaw courier. (East Saginaw, Mich.) 1859-18??, 1864-11-02

EE- One Of tho strongest magma
bic campaign documents against Mr..
Lincoln is furnished by the following,
containing summary of the resolu-
tons passed by tho Federal prisoners
at Savannah, Georgia:
81. Declaring unbounded love for
the Union, and asking the President
of the United States to inquire into
their condition and to remove all OBJ
stacles consistent with tho honor and
integrity of the government.
''2. The great suffering among the
prisoners is not considered intentional
by the Confederate government.
"3. Ten thousand prisoners died in
six months, and it is feared all will
suffer the same fate unless speedily
exchanged.
81. Prisoners arc without clothing
and blankets, and request the govern
ment to arrange to furnish them.
SO. The terms of service of many
have expired, and urges an exchange.
"6. Thoy are willing 10 suffer fur
ther for tho benefit of the country,
but are unwilling to suffer in behalf
of any party, and ask that the matter
be fully explained to thom."
It is evident from the tone of the
document, that the fifty thousand men
confined in southern prisons, fail to
see why they are kept in confinement
and allowed to die at the rate of ten
thousand in six months, when Mr.. Lin
coin, by single stroke of his pen,
could release every man now held as
prisoner in tho south. Thatit is the
result Of party action, they do not
doubt, as is shown by tho closing res
olution, which party is meant admits
of no doubt, as thcre is but one party
that has control of this matter and
that is tho party headed by Mr.. lin
coin. 'a t ltii

WHAT Is AN ARMrsTIcE ?--This ques
tion having been frequently propound-
ed to us, we give what is internation-
al law and and custom in the matter /:
An armistice is q general suspon-
sion Of hostilitics, accompanied by
stipulations which may give the
respective belligerents certain priv
ileges, and subject them to certain re-
strictions. 1t is governed entirely by
the stipulations. Neither party re-
quires any rights except therein spec
flied, and it is either definite or indef-
mite in its duration, In the latter
case duo notice Of its determination
must be given. In the former, the
time may be, by agreement, extended;
or it may be cut short upon proper
notice. 1t is hardly possible for an
armistice to be agreed to without GER
tain stipulations, but should such a
case occur, it would only be main
tainance of the existing statu quo, with
the restriction from aggressive acts
during its existence.
We suppose that the questioners on
this subject are in doubt as to the Of
feet of an armistice on the blockade.
Unless the blockade was raised by
specific agreement in the armisticc, il
would continue in force. An attempt
to run in or out Of blockadcd port
would be aggressive, and consequently
would be resisted.

Hon. George H. Pendleton--His Ro-
cord.


A number Of the Republican pa
pers are exerting themselves to make
the people believe that the Hon. Geo.
y. nen11iicc ION, the Democratic nominee
for Vice President, is a semi-seces-
sionist and opposed TO the Union
This is only for effect upon the igno-
rant and those unacvuainted with Mr..
Pendleton's record. That is before
the country, made during his long
term Of service in Congress, and it
shows and proves TO the contrary.
We have known Mr.. Pendleton in
timately for many years; we are ia
miliar both with his public and pri-
vate views; and We can say with truth
that he never breathed an utterance
that was not for the preservation of
the Union of these States, under the
Constitution Of 1889. He nevermade
speech or gave sentiment on the
subject that was not to that purport.
We defy the malice Of his enemies to
contradict this assertion. He has beon
opposed to tho policy of tho Admins
tration because it was not calculated
to restore tho Union, but to defeat
such q copsummation. We could
give extract after extract from his
speeches verifying these statements,
but il is unnecessary. Ho is notori-
ously Union man, and no one would
go further and make grcaser sacrifi-
ces to attain that end than he would.
There is nothing that wosld afford him
so much qualification, and there is no
one who would labor harder for re-
storation of the old Confederacy than
Mr. Pendleton; and, lot us add, thero
are few who could do more, if elected,
in that Objection.

letter, addressed to Don Christopher Co
lumbus, our admiral of the 0cean sea,
and VicerOy and governor of the islands
discovered in the Indies, inviting him to
Barcelona. As he drew near the place
many of the youthful courtiers and hi
dalgoes, together with the vast con-
course of the populase, came forth TO
meet and welcome him. This entry in
TO this noble city has been compared TO
one of those tFiumphs which the Romans
were accustomed to decree TO con-
queTers. First were paraded the
Indians, painted according to their saw
age passions, and decorated with
their national ornaments Of gold.
After thvss wero borne various kinds Of
live birds, together with stuffed parrots
and animals of unknown species, and
rare plsnts, supposed to be of precious
qualities, while great care was taken to
make = conspicuous display of Indian
coTonets, bracelets, and other decorations
of gold which might give an idea of the
wealth Of the newly discovered regions.
After these, followed Columbus on horse
back, surrounded by . brilliant cavalcade
of Spanish cavalry. The streets were
almost impsssabIe from the countless
multitude; the windows and balconies
were crowded with the fair; the very roofs
were covered with spectators. Itseemed
as if the public eye could not be sated
with gazing on these trophies Of an IN
known world, or on the remarkable man
by whom it had been discovered. There
was a sublimity in this event that min
gled solemn feeling with public joy"
The observer will notice that this descrip.
tiOn from Irving has been accurately car
ried out By the artist.
No. z. The seventh panel represents
Columbus as prisoner in chains, about
to be sent back to Spain. In this panel
we read and study the fate Of all great
men who have dared prejudices in their
own time, ard who have supported be-
cause they have believed iD, one immortal
idea. Here we see the proud cOnquerOr
defying his enemies, and the people
weeping at his misfortunes.
No. 8. The eight panel illustrates
Christopher Columbus in bis dying hours
surrounded by the monks, who from the
first, had been his kind and best friends,
who had sustained him in all his adVer-
sites with q misguided populace and an
ungrateful court. He died with these
words upon his lips: "Oh, Lord; into
Thy hands commend my spirit"
In the frames around the door the OBJ
server will find sixteen small statues rep
the distinguished eOtempora-
ries of COlumbus-men who acted with
belief in him. Between the panels are
projecting heads, representing historians
who have written on his voyage, from his
own time to the present, concluding with
Irving and Prescott. CrOwning the door
is a bust of Columbus himself. The or
around the door are chiefly en-
blematical of conquest and navigation,
We have the heraldlc emblems o fEurOpe

A REBEL GzNERAL's WIFE IN COENEc-
T1CUT-SHE Is SENT 10 GENERAL BUT-
LER.-We find the following in the New
Haven Palladium:
"The wife Of the Rebel General Gusta-
Fus W. Smith is the daughter Of Captain
Abner Bassvtt, Of New London, and
about fortnight sgO she suddenly ar
rived home. 1t was given out that sbe
had passed the Union lines in disguise
and hsd come North TO remain. Since
her arrival she has been very free to aVoW
the most disloysl sentiments, exhibiting
such rancor aud violence a. could not be
tolerated. The case Wss reported 10
Washington; and The result was that on
Monday evening the woman left New
London in charge Of an army officer. TO
be handed over 10 General Butler at
Fortress Monroe, and by bin returned
across the lines % her Rebel friends
Sending this woman back finishes the
matieF up very properly as far as she is
concerned, bat the next thing is 10 find
where the blame belongs for her ever
getting through the lines to come North
It is By 10 means unlikely that sending
her back Is just what she wanted. It is
altogether probable that she came North
on some srrEnd, which having been ae,
complishsd, she is quite ready to be es-
cOrled back to Richmond With military
h0nOrs."

WAR JEFF DAVIS ExsPEcTED The
Hartford (Ct) Courant, in an article on
the war, tells the following snccdOts:
Scene--Jeff Dayis's pailoF at Washing
Ton shortly before the arch traitor left 10
consun n ate his infamous crimf. Presi-
dent-Mr. Davis, Mrs. DAVIS, and 8 lady
from New York whom we will call Mrs.
A. A conversation ensusd between the
ladies relative 10 public alSsirs, and the
demand from South Carolina for the sur
render Of the State authorities Of the
United States Fort Sumter. Mrs. A.
asked Mrs. Davis what they would do If
the Government refused to give up the
fort. Mrs. Davis replied, ''We will fire
on II; the fort belongs to South Carolina
aud she viii have il let the conseq quenees
be what they may" Mrs. A; in astOEish-
ment remarked, "Whati Gre on Sumter?
Gre on the United States fag?' "Yes,"
says Mrs. Davis, I'VE will fire on Sumter,
and the flag which waves over il must
come down" Mrs. A, am zsd a. the
spoken treason Of Mrs. Davis, again said,
"Fire on the nsel shoot down The flag Of
our COUNTRY What d you suppose viii
be the effect in New York eisyr The
effect in new New York city" says Mrs
Davis, awill be that ten thousand strong
arms will At snce rally in that city 70

more snd more asionished, turned 70 Mr.
Davis- Who had taken no part Ia the con-
versasion. and asked him II be had not =
,vord Of rebuke for such language. Mr..
Davis replied By saying that his wife
was mistaken relative to ths eject in
New York city Of firing on SumieI; that

that city would rally to the standard Of

Designs of the Rebels-DsspeEate
measuFas ResoIVed Upon.

Measures Resolved Upon.
We find the following in the Cincin-
natl Gazette. The information is fur
nished by a citizen of Kentucky, in
whom the Gazette has entire confidence.
It was obtained from person recently
from Richmond, who while there occu-
pied an important official position.
This informant is not a convert to
Unionism, and the information was com
municated confdentislly to secession
sympathizers, through whom it leaked
and reached the Gazette correspondent !:
"We have from the most trustworthy
information just received from Richmond
the following programme Our infOr-
mAnt occupied ; position that gave
him an opportunity to see the rebel
President often, and required him to be
ptesent at Cabinet meetings. They are
determined to regain, if possible, Ken
tucky.and Tennessee, without these there
can be no eOnfsderscy. 1t is the inten-
ton Of the War Department to oOnscript
all able bodied persons, without regard
to age or condition. Already it has be-
gun, and msn who have heretofore es-
ceped the army are now in the ranks.
The case is desperate, and the leaders
are aware Of it.
a1nvalids, or those not absolutely dis
abled for garrison duty, will be there
placed. Negroes who can be trusted
will be armed, and fight beside their
masters. They will not be trusted in
companies or regiments in the field. The
forts will be manned entirely with ne
groea, commanded by white commission
ed and nom commissioned officers. The
negro's pride will thus be appealed to,
as be can fight beside his master. In
many cases this will be effectual.
'By this means they viii be enabled
to bring large force into the field, and
hope to drive the Union troops from Ten
nessee and Kentucky. They know, IS
well as we, the time Of the enlistment Of
our troops and its expiration.
"They have had copies Of our recorded
papers in our War Department up to
Nov. 1st. They know that numerous
regiments will have served out their
time in the spring, and hope then to |
achieve = victory over those left.
"We give this information that the |
Government may realize It's dangers, and |
secure Kentucky aud Tennessee beyond |
doubt. Citizens of Kentucky have been /
apprized of = coming invasion by friends /
in the Confederacy. We know Of rebel /
sympathizers receiving letters advising
them 10 sell eli except real estate, and /
hold themselves in readiness to join the
army of Liberation.
"In a rebel caucus of the members Of /
Congress, it was determined 10 give up I
all coast defence rather than Kentucky /
and Tennessee.
"If they prove able to drive Grant I
from his stronghold, it viii, they be- [
lisve, prolong the war, cause their reeog- /
milton abroad, encourage copperheads At /
the North, give them strength in Europe, /
and cause depression throughout the /
land. We do not anticipate this result, /
but give facts as they exist in Richmond,
instead Of mere runoFs as heretofore"
