WHAT THE REBEL GOVERNORS SAID IN
1661.-In April, 1861, President Lincoln
called for $4,000 men to defend the coun-
try. 1t is interesting to look back, and
see the replies of some Of the rebel and
semi rebel governors. Harris of Ten
nessee telegraph" Tennessee will not
furnish a single man for coercion, but
fifty thousand, if necessary, for the de-
tense of our rights and those of our
brethren" Letcher, Of Virginia, an
swered Your object is to subiugate
the Southern States and requisition
made upon me for such an object-an
object in my Judgment not within the
purview Of the Constitution or the act
of 1T95-will not be complied with"
Ellis of North Carolina, responded
regard the levy of troops made by the
Administration for the purpose of sub
jugating the South, as in violation of
the Constitution and a usurpation OF
power" Magoffin, of Kentucky, said 4:
" In answer l say emphatically that
Kentucky will furnish no troops for the
wicked purpose of subduing her sister
Southern States" Jackson of Missouri,
ventured the following adjectives in re-
ference to the Presidents Proclamation /:
1t is illegal, unconstitutional, revolu-
tionary, inhuman, diabolical, and cannot
be complied with
These governors have had the starch
taken out of them by four years of mis-
cry and desolation; which they have
only themselves to thank for.

RucHAHAH AND 1HE REBELLIuN.

The Petersburg News says that James
Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, is in a great
er degree responsible for the late rebel
lion than any man that lives"
This is putting the matter a little diff
erent from the general opponents of the
so-called Democracy. The theory which
has been elaborated by semi-rebel demo
Gratis upon the stump and in the newspa-
pers, was very different. They all said
that the abolitionists and Lincoln brought
on the war. We suppose, however, they
excuse themselves for bold lying on the
ground that it was a political ruse.'-
Indeed some of them said the rebellion
was nothing more. But we are sure of
one thing, there was a time when it was
in the power of James Buchanan and the
democratic party to have prevented the
rebellion-to have cut it off or stifed it
in its infancy. 1t was not done, and
therefore, with the Petersburg News, we
charge that James Buchanan land the
democratic party are responsible for the
late rebellion, and all its sad consequent
ces to the North, and to the South also.
Citizens of the United States, if they are
loyal and wise enough to discern their
own interests will never suffer the demo-
cratic party to be re-instated in a position
where they have proved so unfaithful to
the high trusts assumed.

CONFEDERATE M

The English style of classifying the
two ~belligerents in our civil war as Fed
eral and Confederate, implying that they
were both of the same character. has
been meekly adopted by many who knew
no better. Not so Capt. Boggs, of the
U. S. steamer Connecticut, who recently
stopped at the port of St. George, Bermu-
da. The following is related:
She reports that in all but the English
islands she was treated with respect and
courtesy. On arriving at st. Georges,
Bermuda, Fec. q, the pilot showed Capt.
Boggs a circular from her majesty, order
ing all rebel or Federal men of war to
anchor under the guns of the fort. The
Captain however, chose to let go his an
Choir beyond range of the fort, and next
morning a little gunboat came up and re-
quested Captain Boggs to go down and
call on the Governor. On arriving at
his mansion he Immediately took the
Captain to task for having disobeyed his
orders, and asked if he did not see the
circular from the Queen.
Yes" replied Captain Boggs; II saw
a circular from you, directing that all
Federal or Confederate vessels of war
should be anchored in a certain spot; but
as l I'M in command of neither of them,
| took the liberty to use my own discre-
ton"
A look of blank amazement overspread
the Governors face as he asked:

SOUTHERN LoYALTY-WHAT PRESIDENT JOHNSON
kTHINKS nE II.

A letter from President johnson was
read at the Gettysburg Celebration on the
4th, expressing his regrets at not being
able to be present, and referring to the
lessons Of the hour. The following are
the concluding sentences:
In your JOY tomorrow l trust you will
not forget the thousands of whites as well
as blacks whom the war has emancipated,
who will hail this Fourth of July with a
delight which no previous anniversary of
the Declaration of Independence ever
gave them. Controlled SO long by ambi-
tious, selfish leaders, who used them for
Their own unworthy ends, they are now
free to serve and cherish the Government
against whose life they in their blindness
struck. [ am greatly mistaken if in the
States lately in rebellion we do not hence
forth have an exhibition of such loyalty
and patriotism as were never seen or felt
before. When you have consecrated a
National Cemetery, you are to lay the
cornerstone of a national monument,
which in all human probability, will rise
to the full hight and proportion of your
design. Noble as this monument of stone
may be, it will be but a faint symbol of
the grand monument which, if we do our
duty, we shall raise among the nations OF
the earth upon the foundation laid nine
and eighty years ago in Philadelphia
Time shall wear away and crumble this
monumental but that, based as it is upon
the consent, virtue, patriotism and intel
ligence of the people, each year shall
make it frmer and more imposing.
Your friend and fellow-citizen,
ANDREW JOHNSON.

CoMPLIMENTARY.-The State Sover-
eighty branch of the Ohio Democracy,
represented in the late eonclave at Column
bus, by Cory. Long, and others of the
same stripe, have issued an address to the
Democracy of the State, in which they
affirm slavery to be 'the true relation of
service in the Southern States between
whites and blacks and avow their
determination before the 24th of August
to hold a State Convention to put in nom
nation a ticket to be supported by those
who agree with them in sentiment. They
speak in the following highly fattering
terms of the intellectual condition of the
Democratic party of the State:
Seeing that the party had been so des-
titWte Of doctrine for many years, in Ohio,
and suspecting that the feebLeness of our
newspapers, and the Loa0 intellectual con-
ditiOR Of our readers, and our expulsion
from State aud Federal power, were direct
ly traced to that restitution, several scores

sion at an early day to supervise and di-
rect the process of Southern "reconstruc-

not be. Having steadfastly opposed al
attempts of the last Congress to foreshad-
ow and dictate this process, we would
have President Johnson's experiment
fairly tried out before it can be disturbed
or intermeddled with from any external
quarter. IF the result shall prove salts

Another effort is being made to estab-

graph, and we shall soon know if it is to
prove more successful than that made a
few years ago. G. w. Field, ofNew York.
who had chief charge of the former en-
terprise, holds the same position in the
present company, and the chief share
holders are the same that comprised the
old organization. The famous steamer
Great Eastern is used for storing the ca
Bile and at date of last advices from Eng
land she had departed for the point on the
Irish coast which is to be the European
terminus of the line. Those having the
work in charge express unbounded con-
fdence in its success.
It will, if established, be a rather ex-
pensive medium of communication, the
price for a message of twenty words be-
tween New York and Liverpool being
fixed at 800. and So for every addi-
tional word, and the date and address are
to be counted in making up the charge on
a message.
The following facts in relation to the
cable and the arrangements made for lay
ing it, will be found interesting and in
struetive:
The cable is 1890 miles in length, be-
ing $50 miles longer than the distance
between the terminus of the route thus
providing for inequality in depth of sub
mersion. 1t is one inch and an eighth in
diameter. Seven conducting copper wires
lie in the center of the cable, surrounded
by a series of layers of gutta percha, one-
sixth of an inch thick. A D of
jute covers the whole. About this are
twisted ten iron wires, each having its
covering of Manila gum. The cable is
made imperViOus to the action of the wa
ter by being stepped in a hot compound of
tar and gutta peroha. The seven CON
Quoting copper wires required a total
length of 10000 miles; the iron wire used
measured $4,000 miles 1S,000miles of in
sulating material, and $4,000 miles of
twists of yarn enter into the cable. The
cable was subjected to severe tests in the
course of its manufacture. and the least
imperfection detected and the defect sup
piled, before shipping it. Provision is
made for the contingency of gale or other
casualty while paying out the cable
should such contingency occur, the cable
will be cut and sent adrift on b~uoying pre-
pared expressly for the purpose, and on
the return of suitable weather the parts
to be reunited and the work of paying
out resumed.
