————— “THE BLAIR-HOLT CONTROVERSY, The Judge Denies the Charges of the Politician. Getters from President Buchanan, General Scott, the Efon. Preston King and Colonel Trott. ke. & & Wassineroy, Sept. 13, 1865. « © * — Inthe course of a severe cousure of ho Seorotaries of State and War—who, from ther known ity, loyalty and eminent faithful pablic services, cer- need no defence at my hands—Mr, Blair thus pro- dalliance of Mr, Seward with the Confederates and ‘Bho convent on committees from Virginia, up to the fall -of Fort Sumter, was but 9 prolongation of the agreement with Davis by order of Buchauan, under the signa- ‘tures of his Secretaries of War and of the Navy, that no t of war would take piace on the part of the United (ates during his term. This gave the Confederate Gen- ‘eral Beauregard an opportunity to build batteries under ‘the guns of Fort Sumter, which would not have been ‘done had not its cannon been muzzled by treaty stipula- ‘ions, He (Mr. Stanton) apprised Mr. Seward of this areaty of the War and Navy Dopartments to make no re- Bistance to tho pollo dissolving the Union, &e. be when speaking of myself, Mr. Blair says:— ‘ sly with ‘his refusal’ to permit succor to and his armistice with the rebel Secretary o refused, Kc. Now, so fur as I am implicated by this language, f pave, of course, personal knowledge, and upon this nowledgo I declare myself guiltless of this chargo, 1m ‘the whole and in oll its parts, and my conviction is com- plete that the distinavished gentlemen criminated with ‘me are alike innocent, But, to make my denial still auore explicit and detailed, I aillrm most solemnly that I never made, or was in hy manuer a party to, an ‘ar ‘mistice with the rebel Secretary.” 1 never signed, or ‘was in any manaer a party to an “agreement that no uct of war would take plac? ongthe part of the United Btates during Mr. Buchanan’s term ;’’ nor do I believe ‘that any such agreement with Davis, or with anybody ‘elso, signed by the Seoretary of the Nay y, was authorized by Mr. Buchanan, or ever existed. I assert most posi- ‘tively that there never was a day, during the period referred to, when the President was not prrfectly free to perform his. duty, and his hole duty, in defence of the forts and other property of the United States, and to open fire from the forts when- ever, in his judgment, their safety demanded it, ‘The: ‘never was an hour when the guns of Sumter were “muz vied’ by any “agreement” or compact on the part of the ‘President of his secretaries, or by their authority, or wither of thom, That the batteries around Sumter Were not fired upon while in course of coastraction was b»~ cause the President shrunk from the dread responsibility ‘of inaugurating civil war, and d cmed forbearance bis duty; not because he was restrained by any agreement or understanding what yer. Having made this full de- pial I call, aud I think the country will unite with me in culling, on Me, Blair to produce that “agreement,” that «armistice with the rebel Secretary,”? or oflor some satis- Tactory evidence that it exists or Tam quite aware that among the disioyal men who at ‘that period had verbal and written communications with the President, there were three who alleged—rather by ‘Wuplication than directly—that in sone interchange of ‘essuronces which had taken place between certain South arolinians and the President, the Jattor bad given “a pledge” that, for a time—having relation to the pro- woedings of the convention of that State—he would “not reinforce (he forts iu Charleston harbor, or change their military status,”? When itis borne mm mind that the men ‘making this imputation were then engaged in daily pre- aration for th overthrow of the government, and have singe actively supported the rebellion, it is hardly n-ces- eary to suy, that on their testimony ve American people ‘vould be slow to condemn any, even the humblest of their officers. When, however, this chargo was brought to the notice of the President, he promptly and decidedty repelled it as wholly untrue, ‘in a letter under date of ‘80th Decomber, 1860, addressed to Robert W. Barnw Janes H. Adams and James L. Orr; and that it was un: ‘truo I have nover entertained a doubt. ‘Tho policy, however, of tie President and of the War Department, on this queation, was not left to conjec- ture, but was openly announced and published to the eountry at the time. When Isaac W. Hayne, ealling himself a conm‘ssioner from South Carolina, arrived at Washington he sought, through Benjamin Fitzpotnek, . [. Mallory and Jobn Slidell, then Unithd States Sena- ‘tors, to obtain from the governiecat # pledge that ‘no ro'ntorcements should be sent to Fort Sumter,’ and tat “the public peace should not be disturbed by any act of oatiity towards South Carolina.’ On the 22d January, 1361, I, a# Secretary of War, in reply to this, addressed, ‘by direction of the President, a communication to thoee Senators, from which tho following is an extract In regard to (he proposition of Colonel Hayne, “that no re- aforeements uboukd be wet t Sumie- in the interval, fad that the pubhe pea act of Hostility (on ads south Carulin,”’ it is impossible for me t fve you any such assuvances. The President bas no autior- iy Ww enigr into avy auch agreement or nnderstand ing wh executive officer he tk simply hound to protect the pr property aa fur ax this may be practical le; and ft would be a manifest violal ou of his duty to luce bimselé under eng ge- amonia that he wor » dnty, elther sor aa in- stedinsty or lim nt mon Jie makes no such fon.

Does this look like an “armistice with Gho rebel Secretary?” Mr. Blair, continuing his line of accusation, says:— It was in deforence to him (Secretary Seward) that General Heolt reoummended the surrender of Fort Sumier, because the Generel, during the previous administration had wished to reinforce ii and had been refused permission to do so by Mr, Holt, thon Secretary of War. The following correspondence will show the groundless- ness of this accusation :— Wasmuxcrox, Angnst 31, 1865. Aseutenant Goneral Wixymip Scots. Qenmwat—-In a apeech delivered by Hon.

Lam, respectfully, your obedient servani ve A yours. f, TROTE. This reply of Colonel Trott ay jeaves Mr, Biair without excuse fur the declaration that the letter was “published” by me; but it is also true that it was <trictly confidential, and reached the columns of a newspaper, as Twas asenred, through a breach of faith or misappre- hhension on the part of one in whose hands it hud beon placed for perusal onty. Its tone was somewhat de- spondent, and its langeage markcd by a freedom and warmth inspired by the mate relations existing be- tween my correspond” ut and myself, and by the fearful appreiensions with which oll our hearts were then op- pressed. It was addressed to a personal friend, an ermi- nent clergyman, with whom I had been in correspond- ence on public atfhirs, and who to a large influence added a reputation for unc ohnpromls.1g loyalty. ‘The purpose and hope of the letter Were, through his mind, to impress the minds of others, and thus to ac- compligh something, even though it might be little, in the direction of a movement for the repeal of those laws, alopted in many of the Northern States, known as “Per- sonal Liberty bills,’ and whieh were so obnoxiois to the South, because there hele to be a violation of the consti- tu‘ional rights and obligations of the States. As these bils constituted one of the most powerful levers by means of which the ignorant and deluded masses of the South had been moved to exasperation and trenzy, it wos bb lieved that, could they be suddenly swept away, the wind might Be taken ont of the sails of the conspirators, and they thus rendered incapable of bringing te people up to tho point of armed resistance to the government. Henve, in the hope of alarming, as I conceived properly, the fears of the North, I siated, with emphasis, the flerce reseutmonts of the masses of the South from this and kindred causes; the consequent extreme danger of civil war, and the probability that such a war would re- eult in a dismemberment of the Union. * * In February, 1861, I was denounced by Jacob Thomp- son, ex-member of Mr. Buchanan’s Cabinet, because, in co-operstion with that iilustrious old soldier and patriot, General Scott, I had attempted to reiuforce Mort Sumter; and now, in 1865, I am denounced by an. e: mber of Mr. Lincolu’s Cabinet, because, us ho has alleged, by necce- ‘y implication, I not only did not attempt to reinforce ‘ort Sumter, but actually prevented General. £4 doing ‘The opinion is confidently entertainc shall suffer no more damage from this last denunciation than I did from J, HOLT.

Meigs, Brevet Major General and lute Captain of Engineers, has written a letter in the matter of the Sumter and Pickens expeditions, and in reply to state- ments in the New York Tribune and those of Captain Fox. As he was familiar with the inception of the Pick- ens expedition he deems it proper he should call atten- tion to some of the facts in the case, making a compari- von of dates and giving facts to show that the Secretary of State is not liuble to the chargo of having deceived the President, or of having caused the Powhatan to be diverted from the purpose to which the Presitont had as- signed her without his knowledge. He says:— myself suggested to th> President the name of the Powhatan and of her commander, and prepared the or- ders in relation to her movements for bis siznaturo, and this [did on the 3lat of March or Ist of April, three or four days before tho Sumter expedition was resolved The Pickens expedition was planned and ordered the knowledge of the President, the and myvelf, When Lieutonant Porter was detailed to command the naval portion of the expedition its object wag communicated to him, When Colonel Har- vey Brown was ussigned to command the troops his in- structions made known to him its destination. To none others, in or out of the expedition, was ite destination known until we were really im sight of the sand hills of Fensacola, This, the first successful military expedition of the war, originated with Mr, Seward. “Uniil it sailed the United States had declined everywhere; fortresses and harbors had been lost. He carricd mo to the President, mervly saying he thought the President ought to see some of the younger officers, and not cousult only wiih mon, who, if war broke out, could not mount a horse. Wien the President struck out of the instructions pre- pared for the commander of the expedition the autho- | ¢ rity to declare martial law at Key West and on the Gulf | Coast, Mr. Seward induced him to restore it The au- thorities of Fiprida bad, in February, arrested and held me to bail for defending the rights of the Youkee fisher- men of the Tortugas against the unconstitutional imposi- tions of a Fiorlda sheriff. the court house of Key West, within musket shot of Fort Taylor. But on the declaration of mortial law whieh shortly followed our arrival in the Gulf, judges, sherifl, clerk and mayor fled from Key Wrst to the main Jand, and the present loyal Provisional’ Governor of Florida was elected mayor of Key West, and that im- Portant post returned to its allegiance, Some interference with the late programme of an- other expedition, it seoms, aroze from the secrecy with which both were organized. But the most important ports and fortresses in the Gulf, the harbors of Peusa- cola, Key Wost aud the Tortugas were saved to the United States, all well fortified, and the fleets which wonld have heen necessary for their reduction or block- ado were mide available at other points which had been lost by the Seana of the preceding administration. Even if the victualling of Fort Sumter was thus rented, the Uniied States Btill at Bort Sumter osserted iis desire and determinntion to ae that fortress, wh‘ch cold not then bave held out long against the bui- | tories by which the rebels had been already permitted to encirels it; and who will assert that a few days provi- sions, more or les, in Sumter, could compare in impor. tance with the retention of the weil fortified hurbors of Pensacola and Florida Reef Secrecy has ‘ts inconve- niences, but upon perfect secrecy depended these great States; and so well kept was the secret that In the re. turning steamer Atlantic I brought back to New York at ence the pews of the destruction and of the success of the expedition.

The nd match between the above clubs, which was commenced on the St. George ground on Thunsday, ter- minated yesterday afternoon in a victory for the St George eleven by 4 score which execeded that of their opponents with eight wickets to fall, The attendance yeeterday was far more numerous than that of the day previous, and among those prosent were a number of the ox, who occupied the large tent sp cially provided of ladics on these interesting ov ‘The weather proved to be as oppressively warm jindeed the thermometer in the club house ninety-three in the shade attwo P.M.

When stumps were drawn on Thursday Lumb and ‘Jenkins’ were well in at the bat and 24 had beca pla ed on the telegraph. Yesterday morning the fall of the first wicket left the score the same, and though some very good batting Was afterwards shown the ratio of run’ in the opening part of the game was not kept up, ingsmuch as the first wicket went down for 24 and the for 82, the latter average but a litte over 8 to a et instead of 20. Of this 82 Lumb contributed 13 in finely obtained singles; Scott 17 by some excellent drives, and Eaton 12 by really good cricket—these double tignyes being scored against tirst class bowlin”, supported by excellent flelding. The former bet be judged by the bowling analysis, Harry Wright’s bowling ilgures for the two innings being 201 balls, 30 runs, 42 maulers and bs wickets with but one wide ball; Gibbes’ being 196, 60, 15, and 1 wide. | The fielding was marked by excelent he ing on the part of Ford, Mum‘ord and Earnshaw, and the long stopping of Pomeroy was noteworthy, not a ball assing him while on duty, the byes being scored before he went on. When St. George went to the bat the second time they had 38 to yet, and this number they obiained with the loss of but 2 wickets, one of which Wwas the re- sult of a splendid catch of O'Brien's, who-© bowling, bs the way, Was very fine throughout.

That wo man was afterward prt aboard the steamboat for New York Ly th: town authorities, as it is cutomary with them todo whenever auch perzons fall into their offi ial hands, in order to avoid expense to the town, Perhaps some of our readers inay think that the body was that of this crazy girl, but we think it is not, and in tis opinion the Chiet of Police concurs, Who, then, could thir dead woman have been, aud how did she meet her death?

Tho many who knew him in all parts of the country will be startled by his death by snicide at the curly age of forty-three, for few who knew hia knew (ie ot sorrows of the tnan, # rons in his profes- [From the Springfield Repubiican.) aturany evening last Dr. Childs returned with his Norwich, where be bad been paseing most of umuer, from a visit in the vicinity of New Haven. On Sunday’ morning, about nine o'clock, he left th honve, as he said, fora walk. He was then, apparent} ashe had been during the summer, in pertoct physical hentth. He proceeded to the drug store of Mr. Osborne in Norwich, some two miles distant, to whom he was well kuown, and obtained from him a quantity of ior phine, He continued fn pleasant conversation with My Osborne for some minutes, who observed pothing in the leastepeculiar or unnatural in his appearance or conduct, From this he went to the Wauregan Hotel, entered his hans upon the register in his bold, striking handwriting, and requested a room and materials for writing. These were furnished hin, The clerk who waited upon him, and to whom he was also woll known, observed nothing unusual in his appearance or manner. Not having returned to the house where Le was re- siding, his protracted absence at length occasioned aux- jety and search, and between six and seven o'clock in the evening it Was ascertained that Le was at the hotel. Upon entering his room he was discovered lying tpon the bed, in a quiet but.very heavy sivep, an open Bible by his side, with his hand resting upon it, ical and Was at Once summoned, but too late; in a few moments after he expired. The bottle of morphine which he had procured in the morning was in the room, but neurly empty. A sealed letter, directed in his handwriting to his wife, was also in the room. This was subsequently delivered to her, and its contents are not known, Au in- qest was at once held, and after duo inquiry the jury re- turned a verdict that the “decvased came to his death by an overdose of morphine, administered by bis own hands while laboring under temporary derangement of mind.” Tn this last conclusion of the jury every one acquainted with the late Dr. Childs, his blameless life and calm Ciristian chayacter, will acquisce as furnishing the only probable explanation of his melaucholy end. ‘These and the touching incidents connected with his last moments, above referred to, preclude the idea that he sought death impionsh ‘The zu he accustomed placid exterior w: to the close, yet the peculiar, though une: rows and struggl:sof tife fluaily undermined his strength, the clear perceptions gave way, and death seemed not ouly a relief but a heaven. protivred boon. ‘lds' funeral was largely attended at Norwich on day, and the remains were interred at Norwich town. | The gricf at the sad death of Dr. Childs at Pittstield, Where he was best known, is universal, and his aged father, Dr. Henry H, Childs, is well nigh’heartbro ston, Jacob Strawn, the Mlinots Farmer. * Jacon Straws, of Jacksonville, Ilmors, died suddenly on the 24th ult. Stayting in farming and cattle buying at | an age, with # capital of fifty cents in silver, ir, Strawn came to be the king farmer of the Weet, His acres spread over almost whole counties, and tt was no unreal thing for him to sow a field of wheat or plant corn spa’e twice the sizo of a German kingdon. He had sheep and kine upon a thousand hills, or would have had if the hills had been there. H» built pretty much the | le of the village of Jacksonville; he rept uted his in the Legisiature, whore he was noted for direct and available good sense, and in all positions filled the ideas of a good citizen, His “little garden pateh’’ at the time of his death embraced nearly thirty-tive thousand acres, worth at least $1,500,000 without improvements. He was twice marricd, ana leaves seven sons and one daughter, In person he was a Daniel Lambert, weighing about three hundred and fifty pomnds. During the war ho was an active and liberal friend and supporter of the Union cause. Mavy interesting incidents have beon related respecting him, ainong which are the follow. ing :—He began lige for himself by raising sixteen acres of wheat, which lie traded for sixteen steers, which he sold ata profit. After this ho dealt mainly in cattle, He was a rapid talker and a keen jndge of human nature, | 4 prompt actor, knew how to drive a bargain and always made money, He seldom came to towa, was busy every moment, and was always in the ficld or in the saddle, going from place to plage.

From “Wiliard’s Albany Médical Annals and Biographies’ we learn (that he went from this city to Claverack, Columbia county (where his friends had removed), and immediately began the par- suit of his fossion. In 1810 he was induced to re- move to Albany, where he formed a business relation with Dr. McClelland, who died a few months subse quontly, and left Dr. Bay at once in a large field of prac- tice, and he immediatoly became a lendiug practitioner.
