/ New ORLEANS, June 10, 1865.
ALFRED HEsNEN, Eso.-My Dear
Sir; The battle being over, and the
victors too numerous and too well sup.
piled with the sinews Of war, tri-
umphed over nequaled perseverance,
courage and endurance, with which
they were resisted for four years,
untilit- became useless to continue
the strife; therefore it behooves us to
make tie best Of our position, and
qualify ourselves to use our rights at
the ballot-box.
Our original cause. was just, md
the battle should hare been fought
in Congress; had that been done the
Abolition party would have been left
out IN the cold,
Our members Of Congress threw
away the game by resigning their
seats, and then the assault OH the flag
the forts and the public property dis
solved the morafihfaence Of the Con.
stitution and induced our friends at
the North generally to abandon our
cause and JOIN those they detested.
from whom they can be detached by
q return on our part to the Union with
q becoming reverence for the Star
Spangled Banner,
Itsbehooves all our citizens to re.
turn at oneesand qualify themselves
to vote. Do this, and We shall aseu-
'redly succeed in giving the new com
ers leaverof absence at the next cleo.

There are forty.three millions q pure.
negroes in Africa, not counting the
Egyptians and Nabians, and the in.
habitants Of the countries bordering
on the Mediterranean. Why have
they built no cities or railroads, in
vented no machinery, written no

versions from the European press,
not only in countries like England and
France, but in parts Of the continent
from which such animadyeysions were
hardly tobe expected.
No people have been more friendly
to the United States throughout our
civil war than the Russians; and no
people certainly are more familiar
than the Russians with the sternest
possible administration of Justice
upon traitors and rebels. Neperthe-
less, the Russian Journal Ls Nra,
which represents the interests of the
. ~ -
imperial government with zeal and
ability in Western Europe, cannotre-
strain the expression Of its regret
and astonishment at the proceedings
inaugurated at Washington. "The
secret trial Of the accomplices Of
BocTH," observes Le Nord, in its issue
of Nay %, @excitcs an almost uni
versal disapprdhation. 1T is preten-
eed in some quarters that this secre-
cyis to attach only to the inquest
and not to the trial. This is not ae.
curate; for, in TIE first place, the tri-
al is really to be secret, as will be.
seen by the news elsewhere published.
and in thesecond place, if the prelim-
mary inquest alone were. secret, this
would be in violation Of the customa-
ry rules ofprocedure, which, in Amer.
lea as well as in England, require
that theinquest should be open. The
Washington Chronicle advances al
excuse for tliis unfortunate
decision when itasserts that some Of
the evidence is ofssuch nature that
the lives of the Witnesses would be-
put in peril if it were published. But
it is worth rejecting whether in eapi-
tai cases like the interest OF the pub
lie, which IS solely to know the truth,
ought not to take precedence of all
personal interests, no matter how i'm
portant. Another important ol.iec
ton which may be advanced against
the proceedings taken in regard to
the accomplices of Bo&H is the ques-
ton, which ought to be decided, how
far it is legal to have them tried by al
tribunal. Il is pretended
that, as Mr.. LINCOLN was commanl]
der in,cheif of the military forces Of
the Union, his assassins may be prop.
erlly tried by military law This, we
believc, is the first time that theI
strange doctrine has been advanced
