The first dispatch of our new Japanese Min
lister, which we recently published, consisted of
a long winded aud heart-rending appeal for
an increase of his salary. And now one of our
Chinese Consuls has made his appearance in
Washington, having come all the way from
Hong-Kong to demand an increase of his
salary. We hear that the President has been get

right but take care that the expenses of Con

The Sinking Of the Nick WaIl-Crlm-
inal Conduct of her Onicers-One
Hundred Lives Lost.

New YORK, December 2S.-Every
fresh detail confirms the culpability
of the officers in overlooking the steamer
Nick Wall which was snagged last week
in the Mississippi river. 1t seems that
when the steamer reached Memphis
she was laden beyond her capacity, but
the officers controlling her consented to
the addition Of sixty deck passengers
with their freight and luggage as a
consequence, the boat was managed
with the greatest difficulty and several
times narrowly escaped disaster before
she ran on the snag which sunk her
So heavily was the boat ladened, and
so conscious were the officers of her
danger, that whenever another boat ap
preached, the Wall remained motion
less so that the return waves might not
Jar the vessel too much. At about
S o'clock in the evening the vessel ran
on a snag and in a few minutes there
after sank, and drowning at least one
hundred people and seriously injuring
a large number Of others. Very many
who might have been saved leaped
from the deck in lrighful uncertainty
Of the shock.

GOV. vance's Reply TO the Chronicle,

d
Ex-Governor Vance, Of North Carroll
ma, writes the following important let
ter, in view Of his recent election to the
United States Senate, to the editor OF
the Washington Chronicle in defence
Of himself and his action during the
war:
You have stricken me some heavy
and some unjust blows, will you allow
me to parry through your columns?
Referring to my election to the United
States Senate, YOU charge in recent
issue, that it has been my constant
boast that my opinions and feelings
have undergone no change since the
war. that my children are taught to
hate the Government &c. | deny this
last most emphatically. 1t is simply
untrue. 1t is difficult TO tell what you
mean bv the former II a four years
war had been fought to prove the In
correctness of the multiplication table,
| do not see how the victors could force
upon their adversar.es the conclusion
that that venerable institution lied.
Ifvou mean that my abstract opinions
as to what was right have not been
changed by the results of the war, you
are correct but if YOU mean to say
that do not accept those results; each
and all of them, and guide my conduct
as a citizen thereby, your charge Is in
correct can well see how a beaten
party may be required to acknowledge
that fact, and to engage that he will
forever refrain from attempting those
things again which were the cause OF
the collision. But it seems to me that
he would be quite sorry dog, indeed,
who should acknowledge that he had
for four years participated in all the
horrors and calamities of civil war for
cause that had so little reason to sus'
tain it that it became wrong as soon as
two men and $40 proved too strong for
one man and 81.
You also charge that less than three
weeks ago, in a speech delivered in Wi!

mington, he Cd said that he (D never
asked for a pardon. and never would,
&c. 1t is sufficient to say, in reply TO
this, that the last political speech |
made in that city was in August, 1864.
So that is an error, as is also the coarse
and profane expression which you allcge
| uttered "some time ago, and which
has been denied by me again and again.
But the charge which most concerns
me Of the many which you bring
against me is that my skirts are not
clear "of responsibility for the inhuman
treatment OF Union soldiers at Salisbury
during the la'e war" | am not dis
posed to dlsavow my share in that
great struggle However opposed to 1t
at the beginning, it would be worse
than uncandld in me to deny that when
forced into it by the action OF my State,
| went into the war with all my might,
and persisted to the end. But | do deny
that | exceeded in any way the bounds
of civilized warfare; | do claim that !
fought that fight with manliness aud
humanity. So far from any response
bility whatever resting upon me Tor the
ill-treatment Of prisoners, it Is well
known that they were exclusively under
the control Of the Confederate authorl-
ties.
Notwithstanding this, when inform
ed of the condition Of these prisoners,
| wrote at once to the Secretary OF War.
and urged him, if it was possible, to pro-
vide for their wants; and | secured the
passage of an act of our General As
sembly authorizing me to furnish them
supplies of blankets aud clothing. on
conGition that would. make an arrange
ment with the Federal authorities to
furnish similar supplies to North Caro-
lima soldiers in Northern prisons. Be
fore this could be effected the prisoners
were removed from Salisbury. The
proof of this may be found in my Off
cial letter book n custody Of the Gov
ernment in Washington, and in the acts
of the Legislature Of North Carolina.
The industry which it is said has been
exerted in hunting my record Is most
remarkable. since it has exhumed al
most as much of what did not, as OF
what | did do. And it seems, also, that
the acts with which am justly charge
able are urged as a reason why amnesty
should never be extended to me. II l
had not committed them | should need
no amnesty. For this reason expect
to ask for it
We, of the South, have been tod
again and again that we must give up
the dead issues of the past, accePtthlngs
as we find them, and strive to improve
the future. This is good advice from
our Northern brethren. |, for one, re-
solve to conform to it. and propose again
TO participate in the service aud the
honors of my country. =,
Instead offending me helping hand

tons begin to search through that
thing of dead issues-the past-for rea'
sons why should not be permitted to

get it? Will you, sir, help US? Will
the visitors attend the funeral OF this
past, and throw the first clod upon its
coffin? II so, will engage that 1t will
be buried forever.
Because we hold fast the bond of
faithfulness to each other in the shad-
ows of defeat and humiliation, is no
reason why, il permitted, we should not

public. Because we refuse to leave oil
mourning over the desOlaton OF our
homes and the slaughter Of our sons, Is
no reason why we should refuse to re-
ioice over the prosperity OF the whole

turn our backs on the brave and honest
men, living and dead, who followed our
banners in obedience to the doctrine OF

should not fraternize with equally brave
and honest men on the other side.

suits of the war; that earnestly desire
