DEAIL, GAZETTE-5:10 would afford me
,‘much more pleasure “{to carom-ate, than to
oonh'occrt, the opinion of 1in esteemed inter-
locutor from West. Norwalk. 1 misc no
question as to the sincerity of those views
whiclrshe has been pleased to present to
your readers, in her last, or her former com—

liberty of vindicating the propriety of the
charge of “imbecihty” against Ex-President
James Buchanan. I am most willing to ad-
mit that we are a hasty and rhnpatz'cnt people.
That we are given to fault-finding. That
we do not always pause to consider circum-
stances-fiend that we sometimes take him:
ty to abuse and“. vilify’ Our Public Servants,- :
when we should commisserate a‘nd sympa-
thize with, ratherthan-I'censore' them. But-
something must be allowed to a generous
people, whose confidence has been so wan-
tonly betrayed, and who ought to be, if they
are not, exceeding jealous of their liberties.
In times like these, when the destiny of this:
mighty nation ‘is swinging in the balance,
and when all that we count dear and valu--
able, is so seriously imperillcd, it is no time
to indulge in mere partizan viewa and feel-
ings, and, yielding to a blind idolatry, to
screen the guilty authors of so much misery
and ‘ suffering. “ I too, have no (doubt)

' about the verdict time will elicit and award

to James‘Buchanan for the course he pur-
sued in the commencement-of our troubles.”
In my humble. judgment, there is a fearful
account against James Buchanan. And as
President Lincoln says, “we cannot escape
history, if we would.” And if Mr. Buchan-
an can pass the swift ,coming ordeal un-
scathcd, he will have run a terrible gauntlet.
. If my fair friend could relieve my mind
of an abiding conviction, at once painful
and ,unwelcorne, with regard to the official in-
finance and public administration of James
Buchanan: she might well “feel the happy
consciousness of doing me a great service.”
But his life, character, and public acts are
too recent, and have made too deep an im-
pression on my mind and heart, to make
this an easy task. Nor can I persuade my-
self that the chief difliculty lies either in
my obstinacy or my pmy’udz’ce, but in the
truth of history.

In common with every other American,
I have an abiding interest in the character,
and reputation of our public men; 5I feel a
just and noble pride in that glorious galaxy
Of illustrious names that adorns our history.
And to just this extent must Iblush and
feel my cheek crimson with shame, when I'
remember how, and by wh'Om our fair fame
has been tarnished, and our precious inheri-
tance taken from us. Anation’s scorn and
curse, and maledictions the most terrible
must surely come, upon the memory of
those, to whom the impartial verdict of 'his-
tory shall point, as the guilty authors of so
much mischiefl- ' '

I have not said that James Buchanan was

the author, or originator of this rebellion.

l have not said that he was one of the con-
spirators even, but I- can scarcely resist the
conviction that he was aware- Of the conspi-
racy, and winked at the unfolding plot. Let
it be remembered that the nation had Chosen
him as its chief, and placed hims‘in the
watch-tower of Liberty to guard its most
precious treasure. And that when he “saw
the sword coming, he did not sound the
alarm.” He was a “dumb dog that would
not bar .” He seemedilike one who had
compounded a. felony,” and was therefore
estopped from making a complaint. His
life-long intimacy with, and cooperation in
the political wire-pulling, and chicanery of
Southern politicians—his evident approval
of Southern Fillibustcrism—his covetous de-
sire for Cuba—his willingness to sacrifice-the
vast domain of Kansas-his acknowledged
complicity in the repeal of the “Missouri
Compromise,” and the “Dred Scott Decision”
of the Suprreme Court, and the declaration
of his message which sent for-,th to the world
the awful utterance that “the Constitution
Of the United States carried Slavery with it
wherever it went”—Inay all be set down ‘as
circumstances tending to involve him in the
guilt of this infernal rebellion. And more-

. over, his most anxious desire, manifested in

so many ways, simply to postpone the ca-
tastrophe, until he could slip quietly from
the Presidential chair to his home in Penn-
sylvania, and his dogged silence since, are
well calculated to increase and intensify
these suspicions. .

Why does he not come forth from his re-
tirement, and ring out the bugle notes of'
alarm? Why does he not summon the
loyal people of this nation to rally around
the Flag of his country, which in the latter
period of his own administration, was torn
from its Flag-staff, and trampled in the
dust? Why, with all the weight of his
name snd influence, invoking a nation’s pa-
triotic enthusmsm, does he not raise his
venerable figure, shake his gray locks, ele—
vate his voice, and call upon the people
where all his noble compeers are found,
when the very earth is shaking with the
tread Of assembled thousands? No-nol
James Buchanan is silent, when silence in
such a man seems scarcely less than crime.
But is not that silence mysterious ? Is it not
appalling ? Is it not suspicious ?

But I am told he did raise his “warning
voice.” Against whom? Jeff Davis and
his fellow conspirators? Oh no! But “he
did‘all: he could do, to .avert' the dreadful
crisis, by warning the abolition Party.”

And who constituted the “Abolition Par-
ty ?" Wendell Phillips and Garrison?

‘Alas l Alas ! !' This smacks too strongly of

the “cry of Mad Dog" and “ Stop Thief.”
Did he rebuke the infamous Brooks of South
Carolina, when he smote down the eloquent
Sumner of Massachusetts, 'in his seat in the
United States Senate Chamber, for words
spoken in debate? Did he withdraw his
fellowship from, and frown down, with all
the weight of lzis oflicial character, the in-
famous crew that lingered day after day in
the lobbies of the House and Senate halls,
armed with pistols and revolvers, to terrify
and murder the independent Legislators of
the country f)

And when the same murderous crew, who
had conspired in Baltimore to assassinate
Mr' Lincoln on his way to the Capitol, ten-
dered him their escort through the city of
Baltimore on his retirement from office did
he decline their proposed escort? Oh no!
but consented to receive their ovation.
Whv did he notrcbuke them, and thus
manifest his' respect for the Office he was
about tovacate, and which Lincoln was so
soon to fill? But IIsicken of these things
and turn away.

If there is truth in the adage that “a man
is known by the company he keeps,”—If
“evil communications corrupt good man-

‘ ners”-—-“if a good ‘man, out Of the good

treasure of his heart, bl‘ingeth forth good
things”——there seems to me but one alterna-
tive for James Buchanan, viz. either he was
partrbeps crimfnz's, or an unwilling victim,
entangled in the meshes of this monstrous
'conSpii'acy. And if the latter, then evident-
ly an imbecile old man. It was stated, and
insisted upon, that he had , agreed with the

Southern ‘ commissioners and ,ln; some ‘re-i
spectsto forward their wishes in regard'to'
' to this great rebellion, and it will be remem-
bered. that they'llnqught against him at g last,

conspirators: themselves, to . receive: the

5mau faltcred. And in the closing period of
Ellis administration, his firmness gave way
find he fell between the “upper and nether
mill stoneS" 'wbere he will unquestionably,
be “ground to powder." And now, conscious
.of his failure, and, equivocal position, (if we
may believe the reports) he is spending the
~closing period of his: life, 5 In fwriting a per-.
sonal Of history his oflicial administration. If
this-be so, he seems not to fall within the
scope of that declaration, that “ when an, in-
dividual takes good care to preserve an un-
blemished character, he need never take any
trouble about his reputation.”

But, my respondent inquiries “ wereItheIre,
aniGIritenden compromises 1’” Yes .- indeed?!
There were Crittenden compromises, and
there as a history about them, that in no wise
relieves the embarrassments of the case.
There was also a “Peace Convention.” There
was a “ John filer,” now gone to his ac-
count, who had once filled the high Oflice of
President, but whose f‘published 'Istatements”
many people :will continue to receive with
hesitancy.I I _ remember all these things,
and I take the liberty of saying, that in' my
judgment, these circumstances do not help:
the caSe of my friend. ~ 5 ‘

But says yOnr correspondent, “ No pub-
lic arms were ever stolen.” It should be ’Ob-

charge that “arms were stolen,” nevertheless
I-believethis tobesusceptible Of thevmost
irrefragible proof. Read the following—a
correspondent writing from Mobile under
date of Jan. 4th, 1861, says: “The United
States Arsenal and Forts at this place, were

taken on yesterday at daylight by the Ala

bama troops. They contained 78,000 stand
of arms—15,000 boxes Of powder, 30,000
rounds of musket cartridges, and other mu-
nitions of war. Fort Morgan, situatedrei‘ght:
miles below Mobile, was taken this (Friday)
morning by the Mobile troops, and garri-

‘soned by two hundred men.” If these were

not “ stolen,” pray inform me what stealing
means. The loyal public have long since

branded ;Mr. Buchanan’s Secretary of War,

as “the thief Floyd”—and if he can, be vin-

dicated, I shall certainly have hope Of Judas
Iscariot, and Benedict Arnold. '

Destruction of the Rebel Gun-
boat Queen-of-thc-West.,

The following letter from our townsman,
S. Sherwood Bissell, Masters’Mate on the
U. S. Steamer Arizona, gives a fresh descrip-
tion Of an important exploit. .

BRASHEAR CITx, APR. 13,,1863._?
ON BOARD U. S. SHIP ARIZONA. 5‘

“I take pleasure in being able to inform
you that the Confederate gunboat Queen-Of-
ihe-We‘st, was destroyed this morning by a
shell which was throwninto her by our _for-'
ward pivot gun. . .

On the 7th inst. we left New Orleans
bound for this place. On the 8th we ran
“high and dry” on an oyster bed, where we
remained for two days, hauling hawsers and
cables, opening Oysters and catching catfish.
After having been detained for 48 hours we
at length got off, and arrived here on the
11th, where we found Gen. Banks, with'sevt
eral thousand men, bound on an expedition-
’up the river. We immediately took in 30
tons of coal, and two regiments of troops,
(41st Mass. and 152th_.-M5aine)5 and in company"
with theIgunboats Clifton, Calhoun, Estrella,
and two or three Army transports, proceed-
ed up the river; Yesterday we arrived at a
point about seven miles from Franklin,
when .we discharged our troops and an-
chored. -_ . ,

This morniugI had the watch from 4 to 8
O’clock. At 4.30 I discerned two gunboats
about five miles above us. I immediately
,reportedhhem to Capt. Upton. We‘called
all hands, and, the other vessels having seen
them, we started in pursuit. The Arizona
was ahead, and soon we commenced shell-
ing them. In a few moments a shell from
our pivot gun burst on the deck of. the
Queen-of-the-Wcst exploding a small maga-
zine. ' In a short time she was in flames,
and her crew, unable to stand the heat,
commenced throwing themselves overboard.
We now ceased firing, manned and lowered
our boats, and succeeded in saving 23 white
men and 20 contrabands.

The other vessels saved some, but, as yet,
it is impossible to know how many are lost.
Some of those saved are burnt and scalded
terribly. At 8 O’clock the fire on board of
the Queen-of-lhe-West reached her magazine
and she blew up with a tremendous explo-
sion. We were only struck by one shot,
and happily no one was seriously injured.

Lieut. Commander Cook is our flagIOfii-
oer.”

3%., The Surgeon of a Massachusetts
regiment, in aletter from Washington,
N. C , after the siege was raised, says:
“I must tell you of one hero whO’Saved a
company of soldiers from certain death.
A flat full of soldiers, with a fewuegroes,
attempted to land at ’Rodman’s Point,
but were repulsed by a terrible fire Of
bullets—all tumbling into the boat and
lying flat to escape being shot. Mean-
while the boat stuck fast on the shore,
when this nobleAfrican said : Smubady’s'
gotta die (a get as out of dis, and it may
as well be me !" ,He then deliberately got
out and pushed the boat off, and fell
into it, pierced byfirs bullets.” ~ ' . v

5I’l‘lle Forward Movement.

NEW YORK, May 1.~—Thc Tribune‘s
account from the army of the Potomac
"states in effect that on Monday morning

the 11th and 12th. and 5th corps moved...

to Kelly’s -Ford, the former in udVance,
reaching there 5 at 11 o’clock Tuesday
morning. A brigade frOm this corps had'
been guarding the Ford for two weeks.
Pontoons were all ready.

‘ o

and 154th N. Y. ' o .

tempted to fire," but' their powder being
..,wet,-I.:.they.only .snapped‘ a few. caps .

Skirmishers deployed to the right, leftI

and front, but no enemywas to be found.

The bridge buildirlg‘ "pushed fOrward,

and early in the evening the 11th corps
commenced crossing the. ford. Next morn-
ing the 12th corps crossed, followed by
the 5th, and finally by Stoneman’s caval-
ry corps which reached the bridge at'
«6 A. M. . _ _. 5 .
-. The wagon trains were all packed near
Banks’ Ford and it was evident a con-
nection would be forced from Banks’ Ford
to the troOps at Kelley’s Ford.

From 11 to] o’clock irregular firing‘
was heard in the direction of Germainon
the Rapidun, and it was supposed the
enemy . was trying to check the rapid
march of our troops. '

At 12 o’clock Tuesday, the lst, 3d,
and 6th corps broke camp, and when day-5
light broke, Wednesday morning, the
enemy’s pickets and reserves were captur-
ed, and two bridges crossed the Rappo-
hnnnock four miles below Fredericksburg.

Some twenty men of the 119 Penn.
who,:before the bridges were built, had
the advance in. boats,. were wounded—
Col. Eellmasen reported severely—shy an
irregular volley from .‘e rebel pickets.
With this exception, none of the enemy
knew of the movement.

The third bridge was. subsequently
constructed, and sufficient force to-hold
the'bridges; crossed, while the several
commands on this side’ were advantage-
ously posted to await orders.

, Two miles further down, Gen. Rey-
.nolds’ 1st corps constructed a bridge in the
face Of the enemy’s rifle pits, and effected
a crossing. The resistance was stubborn,
but a- short fire of artillery, too severe
for the enemy, caused them to flee, leav-
ing in the hands of the party who crossed
in boats, eighty-seven prisoners from the
13th Georgia and 6th Louisiana .Regio
merits, attached to Johnson’s command.

They report Jackson as commanding the

right wing of the rebel army

. The 2dcorps, Gen. Couch, was in po-
sition in the rear of Bank’s Ford, with
full facilities for crossing. A good road

‘had been constructed betWeen Banks’ and

the United States’ Fords, and the only
orders were needed to put all departments
of the army in motion.
The Tribune report esti
oners taken 300 to 500.
The corps which crossed at Germain
or Kelley’s Ford, were moving on in fine
order towards Chaucelorville, south of

g WASHINGTON, Sunday,'May 8,1863.

Trustworthy information has reached the
city this afternoon, from the Arm of the
Potomac, going to : show that ‘a‘t‘ernble en-
gagement had been going on yesterday and
tO-day. The brilliant manoeuver by which
the rebels have been flanked on both sides
and has been followed up by daring conflicts,
in which our troops have been extremely
successful. During the whole of Saturday
the musketry and artillery firing was abso-
ly continuous, especially on the right where
Howard’s corps was engaged. ' ' -

. Between midnight and three o’clock this
morning (Sunday), 5
laid between Falmouth-and ‘Fredricksburg,
and, our troops, part ofthe Sixth corps
‘marched over and took possession of the
town, driving Ont-the enemy. ' Thcy'thcn
advanced on the fortifications on the slopes,
in exactly the direction .Of' the move of
Burnside, and it is reported that by noon
they had reached the top pf the hills. The
enemy had left this part exposed; not ex—
pecting an attack here, his troops were
withdrawn 'to theiquarter where the conflict
wasalready raging. -

Gen. HOokér is constantly in the thickest
of the fight, andhis eScape‘ from bullets has
really been miraculous. . r;

following : Gen. Hooker had thrown his ar- -
' 'tny‘across the Rappahanock, taken'a posi-

tion on the left of :theirebel entrenchmen‘ts
at Fredricksburg thus compelling the enemy
to leave'his defences and fight on ground

which Hooker himself .had chosen,‘- and had

fought from of the _ severest and bloodiest
battles of the war, without attaining any ab-
1 solutely decisive result, but ‘5'achieving such

At. 5 O’clock Saturday, Jackson attacked

The brigades of Cols. Bosnncx and Mc-

themselves nobly as long as possible. But
they too, gave way, though in good order,
before vastly superior numbers.

GEN. HOOKER now sent to the aid Of GEN.
HOWARD the choicest division of his army,
and after a short’ but sanguinnry contest,
the further advance of the enemy was stayed.

Communication was at once had with
Gcns. Birncy and Whipple, and a night at-

lines. Gsn Ward’s brigade made the attack
at 11 at night aided by Capt. Best‘s guns,
massed on the ridge in front of the enemy.
Birney’s position was on the extreme left of
this new line Of battle, but Ward’s terrific
attack was entirely successful, communica-

WASHINGTON, May l.——'l‘he National
Republican of this; afternoon publishes
some official dispatches from Gen. Banks
dated St. Martinsville, April 17. From
this it appears when he left Baton Rouge,
three regiments of celored troops remain-
ed..behind for- its defense. The results
among others of Gen. Banks’ expedi-
tions are accomplishing a march Of over
’300 miles. Beating the enemy in three
battles, two on land one on Grand Lake,
dispersing the rebel army, utterly des-
troying the rebel navy. Capturing the
foundries of the enemy at Franklin and
New Iberia, and demolishing the salt
works ten miles southwest of the latter
place, capturing the camp equippnge of
the enemy, also several guns and between
1000 and 2000 prisoners, and so derang-
ing the plans Of the rebels that they can-
not for some months, if ever, reorganize,
his land and naval forces in that part of
Louisiana. Other successes of . Gen.
Banks, already known to the public are
mentioned. Our'loss in the two lurid bat-
tles was about 600 or 700. Nothing

and the enemy’s

- could exceed the conduct of the Officers

or privates in Gen. ‘Banks’ command.
Tile dispatches say we have not only des-
troyed the army and navy of the enemy,
but re-cuptured his materials for reorgarr
ization. We have also in our possession
the nblest Officers Of the sea and land.

GREAT Iioss OF LIFE.
The steamship Anglo Saxon, which
‘ with 360 passengers and a ship’s crew of
, 84 men, was wrecked fouruniles east of
Cape Race, during a dense fog, on Mon-
day last. She was bound for Quebec.
Seventy-three persons escaped from the
wreck by ropes and spare, and 24 in one
Of the life boats, making 97 known to
be sued. Two life boats and a raft,
known to have put Off from the wreck,
are still missing.- It is reported that the
i steam tug Dauntless' has picked up two

boats containing about 90 persons, ' and
taken them to St. John’s. If these and
those who have come on shore at Cape

Race are all the saved, the loss must be
nearly 250lives.

The commander is supposed to be
among the (teamed. There Was a dense
fog and heavy sea on Monday ‘night.
.The deck of the Anglo Saxon broke
up about one hour after the ship struck.
Nothing but the mizzen mast is standing.
Several personsclung to the fore rigging
till the foremost fell, but no assistance
could be rendered them. Guns were
being fired at Cape Race to attract the
”attention of the missing bout-z.

—Admiral Porter records the success of
a canal or cut-off made across a neck of
land north of5 the mouth of the Arkan-
sas River, by which the distance between
the Arkansas and mouth Of White River
:8 reduced oue-half—from 20 to 10mihs.
This is Of great advantage in defending
or attacking those rivers ,- the pointit-
self thus cut Oil" is also a considerable
gain, it having been a secure lurking
place for gucrillas, who would attack a
boat on one side, and be ready for her
again on the other long before she could
get around the bend

N aw Yonx, May 2—A special to the

ing all former Yankee raids. \

four transports and three gunboats. '
--Our Hilton Head correspondence rep-
resents the monitors and the army there
as ready for another movement, and in-
deed there seems to be one actually in
progress. 'He says that before the close

be again over the bar at Charleston, and
an attack must soon come off—this time
in cooperation with their land defenses
