A Raid on Buffalo.

BUFFALO, Aug. 9.-Rumors are rite that
the rebels and sympathizers in Canada, are
about to make raid on this city. Details
are not yet obtained, but it is understood
the Government is informed of it. Many
rumors about, butnothing reliable.
SECOND DISPATCH.
BUFFALO, Aug. 9.-This afternoons Com
mercial Advertiser has some particulars
about the reported raid on Buffalo. 1t ap-
pears that the Provost Marshal of this city,
from various reports, was lead to believe
that the rebels in Canada had organized to
burn Buffalo and destroy the locks at Lock-
port. The Marshal laid the matter before
Gen. Dix, who stated he was aware of the
existence of such plot, but was unable to
provide means to defeat it; but advised that
measures be taken here, as the eXigency OF
the case required. The public are unaware
of any means Of defence having been taken
as yet.
1t is reported that Mayor Fargo has pro-
tested against the removal of the 74th Regi-
ment from here, which has just been order
! ed for 100 days duty.

road for twenty three miles between Tunnel Hill and
Rssscs and also between Big Shany and Allatoons The
rebel commander demanded the surrender of Resacs
threatening death to the garrison if the demand not

to course more worthy Of civilized and christian
people"
In view of such contradictions it is evident that
the commission have not entirely succeeded in
understanding their subject, or even in coming to
an understanding among themselves as to its con-
sistent treatment.
We insert in another part of to-day's paper let
ter from lady, in which she gives an account Of
what she heard and saw at Elmira, New York, re-
specting the sufferings of the insurgent prisoners
at that point AS these statements are rather in
ferential than the result of careful observation,
many persons will receive them with doubt as
to their entire justice, and certainly we would
acquit the people Of the United States from any
imputation of being party to such unrelieved
Affections, if they really exist. The Sanitary Com
mission, we hope, will inquire into the accuracy
of the Impressions recorded by the writer.
Every reader would naturally suppose that as
one result Of these inquiries the sub commission
would PROFOUND some measure for the relief of our
soldiery from the horrors of captvtyat the South.
But on this point they have nothing to say ex-
cept what is said by Gen. Butler in his letter de-
failing the considerations in virtue of which the
United States Government cannot agree to an ex-
change of white prisoners of war unless the insur
gent authorities will first agree to include in such
exchange the slaves who, after being received
into the armies of the United States as freedmen,
have been subsequently recaptured by the enemy.
Are we to understand that the Sanitary Commits
sion accepts the reasoning Of Gen. Butler as a
sufficient defence of the policy Of the Administers

people in responsibility for all that is wanton in the
outrages committed by the agents of the South
ern Government on our prisoners of war. They
clearly pass as much beyond the bounds of proba-
bility as of the function prescribed for them in
their inquiry when they tell us at PIP. 9293, that
"every one who carefully weighs the testimony
must come to this very conclusion, that aohole
people, as we'll factious, rebelious, and usurped
Government, have united in not being thoughtlessly
and inconsderately, but consciously and purpo,ely
cruel and that other theory will cover" the facts
Of the case. We have no evidence to justify any
such assertion, and every body knows how unjust
to the people of the Loyal States would be the
converse of the statement which should hold the
loyal population of the United States responsible
for all the outrsges committed by our sodiery 10
the South without punishment from our Govern
ment War is system Of organized evil and in
its best estate yields fearful progeny of private
wrongs and public calamities-the result of indi-
vidual wickedness in its agents. And when the
commission charge that the whole people of the
South are consciously and purposely cruep' to
our captives they seem to forget that in saying
they confute the theory by which it is elsewhere
sought in their report to trace such babarties to
|" too positive denial of humanity to another race
and too positive contempt for portion Of their
own race" Either the one statement is too mar
row or the other is too broad. Andi I" the whole
people Of the South are consciously and pur-
posely cruel" what do this commission mean by
the following closing observations of their report
"But whatever the event may be, this inquiry will have
worked its beet purpose II ts facts should ever reach that
better portion of The Southern people oho really chin
airous and really religious, oho hape been
to these abuses, ,oho haze been kept in ignorance Of them
