The Daily Dispatch: April 15, 1863., [Electronic resource], Reported fighting on the Rappahannock. (search)
f a people our equals in the attributes of enlightened manhood; and while the will of that people remains adverse to political companionship with us, political companionship is impossible. Bloodshed, destruction of property, and occupation of lands are possible; much suffering, grief, and folly are possible as we have too sadly proved it; but a constrained union of sovereign States is an impossibility. which if omnipotence could accomplish, omniscience would not attempt. Six millions of Americans, whether they occupy the North, the South, the East or the West, cannot be governed except in accordance with their sovereign will. But granting it possible, the question arises of equal moment; is it desirable? Has not the struggle already been too fierce to admit of unity and cordial feeling between a conquering and a conquered section? Sir, I fear it has I believe that, while the memory of this war exists the people of the North and South, united by constraint, would never suffi

heeks with only a very small allowance of whiskers; a cleanly shaven upper lip and chin; and a pair of fine greyish-blue eyes rather sunken, with ever hanging brown which intensify the keenness of his gaze, but without imparting any fierceness to it. Such are the general characteristics of his face, and I have only to add that a smile seems always lurking about his mouth when he speaks, and that though his voice partakes slightly of that harshness which Europeans unjustly attributes to all Americans, there is much unmistakable cordiality in his manner; and to us he talked most affectionately of England and of his brief but enjoyable adjourn there. The religious pedant seems strongly developed to him and though his conversation is perfectly free from all Puritanical can't, it is evident that he is a person who never loses sight of the fact that there is omnipresent Dotty ever presiding over the minutest occurred of life as well as over the most important. as one of his soldiers said

questionable even in Holland, favorable as Dutch capitalists are known to be to cheap American securities, if any large amount could be placed. The prospects of the operation seem to be generally discouraging. " It is reported that able-bodied young men are leaving Ireland to the number of 15,000 a week. --The English journals are very severe upon this, and so are the officials. The papers say these men go with the hope of ultimately liberating Ireland from England with the help of Americans. The matter has been alluded to in Parliament by Lord Palmerton. The Polish insurrection is still in great activity and vigor. The Ozer has offered a general amnesty to all the Poles who return to their allegiance by the 13th of May. England, France, and Austria have sent notes to the Russian Government. All were couched in friendly terms, but all containing an intelligible warning to the Russian Government. Swedents said to favor the Poles. Napoleon inquired, it is said, if Ital

Adams replied that in spite of all that has occurred, he trusted there was in each country a sufficient sense of responsibility to induce them to maintain friendly relations with each other. If the two peoples and Governments could speak together in the same frank and unreserved manner as you have spoken to me this evening, all fear of a collision would be at an end. [Hear, hear,] I can assure you, not withstanding some of the speeches and writings in America, there is no nation for which Americans entertain a greater regard than for England, and if the real sentiments of each can be clearly established I shall have no fear of collision. [Cheers] The Times thinks Mr. Adams's speech reasonable and timely. Words need not lead to blows — neither wishes to go to war, and forbearance is wise. We must submit to certain interruptions in deference to the rights of a belligerent. The Americans must tolerate some short comings on our part, in consideration of the difficulties of a neu

er place in England is this feeling so openly expressed. Tresholm, Frazer & Co., No. 10 Welford Place, are notoriously a rebel firm. Yet they know how to make a good thing out of their Confederate friends, for when the Confederate loan was at a premium, a few weeks ago, they prudently sold out their bonds, making as nice a speculation as ever gladdened the heart of a Wall street broker. James Spence is also a Confederate agent. Thomas Bold is a shipper of Liverpool whose name loyal Americans should learn. He it was who built the Virginia as a Confederate pirate, Lieut. Maury furnishing the funds. Chappell, Jones & Co., of 28 Chappell street, recruited the crew from the Seamen's Home, telling them they were wanted for a trading vessel bound for Singapore. Peter Denny, of Dumbarton, had a good deal to do with this pirate, which carries nine new guns. When off the north coast of France the Virginia or Japan, (for that is the name under which she cleared for Singapore,) receiv

secession unless the power of the Washington Government could be made so resistless and overshadowing as to check it.--They threw off all disguise. Their President, elected without a solitary vote in the Southern States, holdly expounded their constitutional dogma by declaring that States were no more to the Federal Government than counties were to the States! He wanted to ignore the States altogether — to cease calling men Virginians, South Carolinians, Georgians, etc., and to call them Americans! The system of Government established by our Revolutionary Fathers — that system which contemplated the independence and sovereignty of the municipalities — the States--as indispensable to public and personal liberty — was discarded and contemned as idle and ridiculous. The Federal Government was everything — the States nothing. To have submitted to his election, his inauguration, and his rule, would have been to accept the Northern political dogma, and to have surrendered the whole

h, and, by their unanimous voice, to put the seal of condemnation upon unwarranted acts of oppression and tyranny. Speakers took the stand, and, in terms overflowing with boldness and eloquence, spoke of events past and future; of aggressions accomplished and yet to come; of freemen's rights, and of the sacred privileges of loyal and patriotic men. At times the audience gave way to the wildest tumults of applause, and the air rang, as it never rang before, with the defiant shouts of loyal Americans in the sublime act of vindication.--Throughout, the scene was one of excitement and intensity, and it only needed the reading of that telegraphic dispatch from the noble Democracy of New York, sending greeting and sympathy to their proscribed brethren of Chicago, to transform it into an exhibition of enthusiasm beyond the scope of description.--It was grand and impressive. It was the unveiling of a power which will sweep like an avalanche through the land. For hours this demonstratio

war; that the resources of the North must finally exhaust the South; and that the United States Government can carry on hostilities for five years more. The Imperial Government has already learnt how useless were its benevolent efforts to bring about a suspension of hostilities. The American people are not like any other people of the globe; they have not taught themselves to obey any feeling or sentiment but that of their own passions. North and South alike have never known defeat, and Americans have been educated to believe that all they can desire they can accomplish. It is hopeless, I fear, to put any confidence in the efforts of diplomacy. If the English Government were to make representations, I have no doubt that France would willingly join. If England recognised the South, France would do the same. France desires to harmonize her policy with that of Great Britain. The Envoys of the South say--"What amount of victories on our part are required before you acknowledge us?

ward bound from China, with a cargo worth $360,000, destroyed; and the other, Phipps Henrietta, with three hundred barrels of flour, bound to Rio de Janeiro. They have armed two vessels taken by them to serve as tenders, and they will pretty well out up the East India and China trade." A correspondent of the New York Tribune at St. Johns, N. B., vindicates the citizens of that town against charges of blockade running, and shows that most of the contraband trade from there is done by Americans who pretend to be loyal. Steamers are sent from Boston and New York to St. Johns, their names changed, contraband goods are put on board by Yankees, and the boats clear under a British register for Nassau, the common rendezvous for pirates and thieves of all nations.

ly believe this, but we believe also that they will be the greatest toadies of the South; that they will be profess in their professions of good will and friendly feeling; that they will fete and toast "our Southern brethren" at the future banquets that will be given to them in Northern cities; that they will never tire of speaking or writing of a common origin, a common ancestry, a common language, and all those other things which we have been accustomed to hear at convivial assemblies of Americans and Englishmen. All this we shall, most probably, see within a very few years, in this our own day and generation. VI. We have referred to the convention of the Northern States as among the inevitable consequences of this war, and the condition to which the North has been reduced. It is possible, but we do not regard it as probable, that the North shall witness another Presidential election before that convention shall have taken place. This is a melancholy reflection, but we are
