ditiouary laying " when a woman wou't

the fact that tho Union people of the South
have, at this time, no voice in the newt
paper report of the dlnuulon section. It
M iapned that on tho day of the illu
mination, the captain of a Mississippi
jtcamboat and his lady were stopping at
the St Charles, and occupied front room,
oa the third floor the finl floor of cham

the city was agitata! during tho afternoon
iu proscct of the grand gala night Tho
St Charles was to be illuminated, of course.
Accordingly, some time during the after
noon a senr aut knocked at tho door of the
captain's room, carrying all the necessary
trappings for lighting np tho chamher win
dows. Mrs. oencd the door, when
the following dialoguo ensued:
Lady. What have you got there?
Servant Cundlea, Missus, to light your
windows for do luuiiuntion.
L. Well, you can return them to where
you brought them from, as I shall nut al
low them in this room.
S ,(Xot to be foiled so daily, resumed.)
Oh! but mnssa told mo to put up do lights,
and so I'll got to put 'cm up.
L. Can't help that; this is' my room,
and I shan't allow tho windows to U illii
minatcd for what I am opposed to; so that
ends it.
This closed tho first act. Tho servant
reported to tho proprietors, wlio immedi
ately prowoded to tho lady's room with a
view of convincing her of the iuiiortaiicc
of permitting the servant to make ready
for the gruud evening light-up. Suid they,
" This room is tho most ccntml in tho en
triro front, and net to illuminutc it will bo
to mar seriously the ePArtof the whole,"
to which the lady replied:
" I am sorry, gentlemen, to causo you
any inconvenience, but I believe this room
tor the time being in ourt by right, nud I
' must positively decline, in nny way, to add
' eclat to it great outrage, ns I conceive the
whole disunion movement to be. My hus
band (who wns out at tho time) is a Union
imin, nud I am a Union woman, and Ihi
mom cannot bo illuminated." A few mora
word were exchanged, which endod by
tho lady politely requesting the proprietors
to louvo her room. Determined not to be
outduno in a matter of such grave tuipor
tiinop, the enptain was next found and ap
pealed tos lie heard their case; said his
wife had reported him correctly on the
Union question, nevertheless, ho would go
witli them to the room and see if the mat-
. tcr could bo amicably arranged. Scene
third ensued. Tho captain's disposition to
yield was not to bo seconded by his botter
half. They next proposed to vacate the
best chamber in her fuvor, in somo other
part of the house, if that would be satisfac
tory, but tho lady's "No!" was still as
peremptory as ever. Her point was gain
ed, and the St. Charles was doomed to
hare a dark front chamber.
Tlcascd with this triumph, Mrs.
devised the following maneuver to make
tho most of her victory. Summoning a
servant, sho sent him out to procure for
her an American flag, which, at dusk, she
suspended from her window. This mado
the fourth art in the play, and as the fifth
( Is always indispensable, it had its place
here. When evening came, the streets,
auimated by a merry throng, were illumin
ated, but, alas! the St. Charles was disfig
ured by its sombre chamber, when sudden
ly a succession of lumps, suspended on
both sides of the flag, revealing the Stars
and Stripes, were lit np, and the ensign of
the Union waved from the centre of a ho
tel illuminated iu honor of its overthrow!
The effect was, to give the impression that
the whole house was thus paying homage
to the American flag; and what is more
significant, is the fact that the latter was
greeted by the passing crowd with vocifer
ous applause. So much for tho firmness
of a true Union woman.
tSr The grandeur of the movement for
the maintenance of the Union becomes
more manifest and glorious every hour.
The whole North swarms like a mighty
lure, and those energies which have here
tofore been devoted to the works of peace,
are now luting turned into military chan
nels, and will be employed in the vindica

lite X. V. Tribune of May 0 obtains
tho following facts from a gentleman Just
from Charleston, who ws obliged to loin
the rebel ranks to save his life. Ho says:
"As I was about starting North, 1 was
waited upon by a committee and told that
I must enlist in their army or take the con-
sequences of a refusal. I euli.ted, and af
ter being moved from one ik1 to oiiothcr.
I was eventually located in Ft Moultrie at
the timo of the bombardment I am no
soldier, but 1 knew enough to feci con
vinced that there was destined to be aa
immense slaughter within the fort as soon
as Sumter should fire upon us. There were
by several hundreds too many in the fort;
there was scarcely space to wovo about in.
and no effectual protection for ouo half the
men.
The very first shot from Ft Sumter came
booming luto one of the port-holes, near
which I was stationed, dismounting the run
and shivering the carriage Into thousands
of splinters, which were scattered with ter
rible force throughout the fort, killing 33
men Instantly, end wounding many more.
This was the most destructive single sltot
we received, but throughout the entire can
nonading the havoc in Moultrie was terri
ble. Tho dead and dying lay about us la
every direction, and were trampled under
foot by the soldiers in their arduous labors.
We had net surgeons enough to attend to
them all, and the groans of the dying and
their piteous cries for help were distressing
In tho extreme. When Sumter cnpitulutcd
tho relatives of tho soldiers hastened to
Moultrie to learn their fate. Mothers came
asking fur sons, sisters for brothers, sons for
fattier, all were told that all were well
that nono were killed, but that confusion
prevailed and the soldiers could not ho seen. I
That night the bodies of the dead were
boxed up and com eyed on shore, where
they wero buried in trenches, in the negro
biirying-gruuiid. Ono hundred and sixty
bodies were conveyed to tho buriul placo
on a smull svl.uoncr, and the others by va
rious conveyances. On tho following day,
when relutires inquired fur those who wero
dead, they were told that they had been
sent ttwoy to other point to recruit their
energies. I myself counted over 200 dead
bodies in Moultrie.
I havo no means of knowing the extent
of the slaughter ot the other posts, but
heord incideiitully that it was serious, but
not so great as at Moultrie. I was told
that one shot at Stevens' Buttery dismount
ed n cannon and killed seven persons. Du
ring tho cannonading I was forced to aid
tho rebels somewhat, although I evaded
firing a shot at the flag of my country. I
did, oa compulsion, assist in placing a gun
to command Sumter, and cons;i!er tt the
worst piece of business I ever did in my
life. It was tho general opinion, after the
fight, that if Mnj. Anderson hud had forty
more men and a supply of provisions, he
would have routed tho entire lores which
surrounded him.''

Tho pcoplo of the Northern States arc

ono sentiment, one soul the solemu re
solvo that whatever tho cost may be, the
integrity and unity of thit great republic,
for nil future time, shall evolve out of the
present political chaos. It is safe to say
that, one month ago, five-sixths of the citi
zens of the Northern States were ready
to mnko any sacrifico for tho sake of peace.
Whether in the shape of tho Crittenden
amendments to the constitution, a national
convention, or on indefinite suspension of
existing issues,- they would if oppculed to,
havo exhausted themselves in efforts ol
concession nud conciliation. They had a
right to believe that the slavcholdiug Stutes
would bo softened and attracted by such
generosity and magnanimity. Apparently
responsible assurances wero not wanting,
from Virginia, Maryland, and tho border
Stntes, that the conservative feeling here
should be responded to, and that tho mem
bers of tho confederacy which had not
withdrawn from the Union would unceas
ingly labor for its reconstruction. Such
was the stato of things up to the 12th
April. Tho thunders of a dozen batteries,
manned by seven thousand men, against
a handful of half starved soldiers in Ft.
Sumter, awakened the North to the cou
yiction thot they had been cruelly deceiv
ed, and that self respect as well os sound
policy demanded an instant resort to arms.

The following is an extract from the
letter of instructions of Mr. S sward to
Wm. L. Puyton, the newly-opiwintcd
Minister to Franco. It is dated May 4,
1801:
" It Is desirable that there bo no misap
prehensions of tho true stato of the Gov
ernment in the present emergency. You
may assure M. Ihoovencl explicitly that
there is no difference of opinion whatever
between the President and his constitution
al advisers, or amoujr those advisers tbeni
selves, concerning the policy that has been
pursued, and wiucu is now prosecuted by
tho Administration in reirard to the un
happy disturbance existing in the country,
The path of Executive duty has thus far
been too gloomily marked out by tho
cemities to be mistaken, while the sol
tv of the irreat emergency and the resiwn
sibilitics it devolves, have extinguished in
the public councils every emotion but those
of loyalty and patriotism. It la not in tho
hands of this Administration that this
Government Is to come to an end at all
much less for waut of harmony in devotion
to the country.
M. Tbouvcncl'i declaration that the
United States may rest well assured that
no hasty or precimtate action will be taken
on the subject of the apprehended applica
tion of tho insurrectionists fur a recognition
of the independence f tho so-called Con
federate btutes is entirely satisfactory, al
though it was attended by a reservation of
views concerning the general principles sp
phcable to cases thut need not now bo uw
cussed.
In the unofficial conversation, Mr. Faulk
ncr says that he expressed tho opinion that
force would not be employed to coerce tho
so-called seceding States into submission to
the Federal authorities, and that the only
solution to the difficulties would be found
in such modifications of the Constitutional
compact as would invite the seceding States
back into tho t mon or a peaceablo aciiul
escenco in the assertiou of their claims to a
separate sovereignty.
The time when these questions had any
pertinency or plausibility has passed away.
Tho United Mutes waited patiently while
their authority was defied in turbulent as
semblies and in seditious preparations, will
ing to hope that the mediation offered on
our side would conciliate and induce the
disaffected parties to return to a better
mind. Hut tho enso is now altogether
changed. Tho insurgents have instituted
revolution with okmi, flagrant, deadly war,
to compel the United States to acquiesce
in the dismemberment of the Union. The
United Status have accepted this civil war
as an inevitable necessity. I ho constitu
tional remedies for all the complaints of
the insurgents are still open Tor them, and
will remain so. Dut on the other hand,
tho land and naval forces of tho Union
havo been put into activity to restore the
Federal authority and to save the Union
from danger. You cannot be too decided
or too explicit in making known to the
French Government that there is not now,
nor has thcro been, nor will there be, the
least idea existing in this Government of
suffering a dissolution of this Union to tuko
place, in any way whatever. There will
be hero only one nation and ono Govern
ment, ati3 there will be the same Republic
and the same Constitutional Union that
have nlrcody survived a dozen national
changes of Government in almost every
other country.
These will stand hereafter, as they ore
now. ohiccts of human wonder and human
affection. You have seen on the eve of
vonr denature the elasticity of the nation
al Govennment, and the lavish devotion of
tho national treasure to this great cause.
Tell M. Thonvenel, then, with the highest
consideration and eood feelinir, that the
thought or a dissolution of this Uuion,
penccobly or by force, has never entered
into the mind of nny candid statesman here,
iind it is high time that it be dismissed by
statesmen in hurope."

As there Is no crime more atrocious than
that which hat for its object the subversion
of those laws and institutions which have
been ordained by the tiooplo for the good
order, peace, and happiness of society, so
there it nono which more keenly arouses
the indignation of food citlzeni against its
authors. Such a crimo is treotou. It it
thus defined in tbe Constitution:
"Treason arainst the United States
shall consist only in levying war against
them, or in adhering to their enemies, giv
ing thtra aid and comfort."
In order that this crimo might not be
extended, by construction, to doubtful
cases, the founders of tho Republic pro
tected the accused by providing that no
person should be convicted or it unless on
the testimony of two witnesses to the samo
overt act, or on confession in open Court.
When Aaron Burr was on trial for trea
son, his counsel, especially Edmund Ran
dolph, contended that the mere assembling
of armtd bodies of men fur tho purposo of
overthrowing the uovcrnment or or resist
ing tho execution of the laws of tho United
States, wit not levying war, and therefore
not treason. He maintained that the
armed assemblage must havo been em
ployedthat is, must have taken tome ac
tion toward carrying the purpose Into ef
fect before a conviction of treason could
bo had. Also, that unless Cel. 1). was
personally present with the nrmed assem
blage having this purpose In view, lie could
not be convicted, even as an accessory.
Substsntially the same reason was em
ployed by counsel in the caso of Itollman,
of Swarlwout, of Fries, and of Mitchcl.
Both theso positions aro untenable; and
nothing can bo more unsafe or unwise than
for any citizen to flutter himself thot he
can tauijicr indirectly witli treason and es
cape tho extreme itcnnlty which tho law
affixes to the crime when directly commit
ted. Ir a hotly of men be actually assem
bled with the design to effect, by force, a
treasonable purpose, all thoso who take
any part, however rcmoto from tho scene of
action, yet, it thev bo actually leagued
with the design, are in tho judgment of the
law traitori, for this constitutes a levying
or war, and that is treason.
Conspiring to overthrow the Govern
mcnt, although a heinous 'offense, is not
treason. The enlistment of men to serve
against the Government is not levying war,
but is giving aid and comfort to tho en
cmy, and hence it is treason. Tho travel
ing of individuals to the place of rendez
vous is not sufficient to convict them of the
crime. It is an equivocal act not neces
sarily ono ol war. it is not an assemblage.
But tho marching of bodies of men from
places of partial to a place of general ren
dezvous, would be such an assemblage.
If thcro bo a design to revolutionize by
force tho Government established by the
United States in any of its Territories, or
to resist by lorce the execution ot nny law
of tho Union in such Territory, sucli de
sign is trcasonublo. Any assemblage of
meu for that purpose amounts to a levying
ot war, and each of the individuals com
prising such assemblage is guilty of trenson,
the punishment whereof, in this and all
other cases of treason, is drath.
Again, treason consists in giving aid and
comfort to the enemy, and, on conviction
of the offender, ho is in like manner subject
to the punishment of death. Giving aid
and comfort to tho enemy, consists in fur
nishing military supplies or provisions of
any kind, such as arms, ammunition, food,
or clothing, or in harboring, concealing, or
communicating information to the enemy,
or iu any way helping on hostilities aguiiist
the country anu its government. '1 his in
cludes all acts of seizing or holding forts,
arsenals, and dockyards of the United
States, and like acts of hostilo aggression;
al! acts of building, mauning, victualing,
or fitting out vessels to aid in hostilities
nguinst the Gevcrnmcnt; sending provis
ions, arms, or supplies, or lu raising or
obtaining credit fur the enomy; in short,
any and every traitorous purpose manifest
ed by overt acts, is treason, either as
amounting to ' levying war' or ' giving aid
and comfort' to the enemy.
misfrision or treason.
Tills consists simply in concealing the
knowledge of any act of treason commit
ted by others. Any person having a
knowledge of such acts, if he docs not
make it known to the President of tho
United States, or to one of tho Judges of
the United States, or to the Governor of
the Stato, or to some Juugo or Justice of
the Peace, is guilty of misprision of treason,
the punishment for which is not execediug
seven years' imprisonment, and a fine of
not exceeding fl.oou for the onensc.

said, " Now, I must ihnko hands witli the

ho passed along the lines, taking each boy
by the baud, and saying repeatedly, " God
blest you, my boys, God bless you." Af
ter giving three cheers for Mrs. Maj. An
