A Union mass meeting was held here to-
day. Speeches were made by Mr.. Kssson,
Of Iowa, and General Blair. Among other
things, Blair said II do not agree with the
gentleman who has Just addressed you, Mr..
Kasson. of Iowa, on this topic, that there is
not serious intention to give the right Of
suffrage to the negroes in these Southern
States. believe there IS a serious intention
to do it. There has been plan harbored at
the North among politicians Of a certain class
to enforce that upon the South, before recog-

I speak words of truth and sobernoss to the
people among whom I was born and reared

About Trying Gen. Lee and other. as rsAissrD

The New York Tribune says:
As to those who believe, or think they be-
lievs, that our Government may justifably
hand over to punishment as traitors General
R. E. Lee and all other prisoners Of war par
oled under his cspitulation and those fashion,
ed after it, we beg them to consider, FIRST, the
express terms Of that cayitulation:
'Tbis 1.-THE surrender done, each officer and
man will be allowed to return to their homes,
not to be disturbed by the United States su-
thority so long as they observe their parole
and the laws in torce where they reside"
These conditions were framed and propos-
ed bv General Grant, and accepted BY Cen
eral Lee. And General Grant, in his final
letter, says;
The terms upon which pesce can be had
are well understood. By the South laying
down their arms they will hasten that most
desirable event, SaUe hOusaads Of human Eives,
and hundreds Of millions Of property not yet
destroyed
Sincerely hoping that al orr diFcaIFeI
n1ag be settled 1Bjthem The loss of another life,
subscribe myself, your Obedient servant.

Lieutenant General .. S. A"
Can there be question as to the proper
force and effect Of this language2 Is there
one general officer in the Union armies who
holds that the men shielded by this sapitulc.
ton can, nevertheless, be now arrested, ar'
raigned for treason, and put on trial tor theiT
lives II there be such one, we challenge
him to stand forth, and let the public have
look into his eyes We do nc: believe there
is one.

TIE FMGATE CONGRESS RAIsED-The Uni-
ted States frigate Congress, sunk 10y the
Merrimac in Hampton Roads, opposite New
port News was raised on Thursday last
Five powerful steam pumps were put in
motion at ebb tide, throwing out eight gal
Ions Of water II minute The hull became
bouyant and began slowly to rise, the sur
rounding water-tight bulkhead rising with
it, Slowly the mass emerged from beneath
the surface of the water, and at two o'clock
the light of day once more shone on the
deck
The wreck, as appearing above the wa
tcrs, says a correspondent, gives fair idea
of the original size Of the ship, though much
Of the after part Of the vessel is gone. On
the deck are two rusted guns, to which
oysters and barnacles are tightly clinging
\ carpet of alg@ is spread over the deck
The tered0 has bored into the timbers, and
the ribs Of oak are honeycombed. Save the
great amount Of metal in and about the
wreck the remains Of the Congress are use
less
There are vague rumors as to a paymas
ter's safe, with twenty thousand dollars in
specie, being somewhere about the wreck
This is rumor only, but the divers will
take a sharp look to discover, if possible,
anything bearing the resemblance of pay
masters safe. ...

FIRE At SUsQUEHANNA DEPoT-FoUR STORES
BURNED-About o'clock ON Sunday morn.
ing a fire was discovered in VIM GridIey'
store, on Front street, Susquehanna Depot
The flames quickly spread, enveloping
three other stores occupied by Wittenburg,
Rosenbaum & Co, T. A. Ingstrum and D.
A. Lyons which were entirely destroyed,
together with most of their contents all of
which were insured If it had not been
for the great exertions of the men, belong
ing to the railroad shops and the Erie com
panies water works, the entire row would
have been destroyed, but even then, the
air being still, it needed every effort to
keep it under control.
1t is supposed to be the work of an incen-
diary, who had robbed the store and then
fired it at about the time the alarm was
given a team was seen driving off which
was followed some distance, but finally all
trace of it was lost We understand that
row of substantial brick stores will be
built up on the burned site, which will add
much to the beauty of the street.

CONSERVATISM ILLUsTRATED.-The following
from the Luzerne Union, illustratesthe Cop
perhead idea Of Conservatism. The Rich
mon detection was notoriously controlled by
returned rebel soldiers, and the candidates
elected were of the most violent secession
stripe.
THE RICHMOND ELECTIoN.--An election was held
for municipal officers in Richmond last week the
result of which showed decided maiorities for what
Observation-Disclosures have chosen to call the secesh'
candidates. In other words, the abolition ticket
was beaten, and the conservatives elected their
men throughout. This being too bitter for the
'loyalists," the aid of military necessity is
again invoked. and on Friday last General Turner
issued his edct declaring the election null and
void, and addressed the City Council a prorH,cia-
me1to forbidding them to,act in their Offices Thus
are elections mockery in this new era Of elective
freedom.

JEFF. DAVIS HEALTH.-A Fortress Mon,
roe letter of the Both uIt, says ......
JEFF, Davis was again on the ramparts OF
the forts yesterday afternoon, from four to
five o'clock. He was attended by Major
General Miles and the officer of the guard
on duty for the day Day before yesterday
friday he was not out, General Miles
being absent at Cherrystone on that day
The General is too solcitous for the safety
of his important prisoner to permit him
outside Of his well-guarded casemate, eX-
cept under his personal supervision
The reports of the falling health of Davis
promulgated by certain misinforhed daily
papers, caused an inquiry from the War
Department as to the real state Of the pris-
oner's health. The report made sets forth
that the prisoner, Jefferson Davis, is in the
enjoyment of excellent health, and, more
over, that his physical condition has yisibly
improved since his incarceration at Fort
ress Monroe, ~.

BG~ General Cox, the Union candidate
for Governor Of Ohio, has written a letter,
in which he fully defines his position as a
candidate Of the party, and gives his pri-
vate views on the question of negro sui-
frage The latter, briefly stated, are that
the white and colored people of the south
cannot live together as equals, politically,
and he therefore favors a peaceable separ-
alton of the two races on southern soil, the
blacks in their seperate condition to enjoy
full political rights He does not propose,
however to permit his private opinions to
prevent him from giving cordial support
to such measures as Congress and the Pres
dent may deem best for the final adjust
mcnt and settlement of the difficult ques-
tions that have grown out of the war.

GEN. SHEMAN's VIEWS on NATIONAL Top
Ics-At u banquet given to Gen. Sherman
at Indianapolis on the 9th ult., he made
lengthy speech in Il response to toast.
He said that his ancestors being III the sea-
faring line, had contributed largely to the
importation Of African slaves, and he felt
it to be his duty to atone, as far as posi-
BE, for the sins OF his ancestors.
He considered the slaves freed by the
action OF the Secessionists, and that it was
the duty of the Government to protect and
educate them They might, he thought, be
colonizcd in Florida, and admitted to a rep
resentation i'll Congress. He opposed ne
gro suffrage or indiscriminate intercourse
with the whites His observations in MeXi-
co and South America had led him to the
belief that the whites must have the gov
crning influence. lie believed Omnipotcnce
had inauguratcd this rebellion to break
down the legal hedge which had protected
slavery from the just indignation Of the
civilized world. lie thought that many Of
the Southern States would vote to ratify
the constitutional amendment. On the sub
icct of the military power he did not feel
that there was any usurpation, but that
when the necessity had passed, he hoped
that civil law would resume its sway.

SECRETARY STANTON AND Our PRISONERS.
One Of the first articles written by Mr.. Dana
for the Chicago Republican, is denial of a
statement Of Junius II. Browne, who was
imprisoned Il long time at the South with
Mr. Richardson, that Mr. Stanton is respon-
siblc for the suf1erings Of Union prisoners
at tho South. Mr. Dana who was, until re-
Gently, Assistant Secretary Of War, says:
No man Of all the thousands who Ian
guished in the cruetieS Of rebel bonds can
rightfully say that Mr. Stanton is RESPONSE
bic for one moment OF his tortures. The
truth is, that special efforts were made by
the War Department to procure the release
Of Mr.. Browne and his companion, Mr.
Richardson, but those in power at Rich
mond were for some reason Of their own,
unwilling to surrender them, and refused
and finally, after All other means had been
exhausted, and when the notorious "Pul-
lard, Of fRchmond " (who had been released
on his parole to negotiate the exchange OF
Mcssrs. Browne and Richardson for him
