Nor can wo compromlse with the question without danger. We have bad a year of President Johnson, and twenty at- tempts at compromise.

The report of Rebel committees, extracts from the Rebel papers, letters of Rebel officials, and an ap. pealing letter to Davis from a Southern lady are given to show that the treatment of our prisoners was noto- rious, and that iu contempt of their misery each com- plaint on their behalf was tossed back from the hands of the Rebel President, and between his carcless and criminal subordinates, till it fell to the ground, The subordi | chapter on the events immediately preceding the assassination has -testimony that we cannot slightingly pass over. The witness, Bates, who heard the Rebel President at Charlottesville say that the murder if done ought to be well done; the official authorization to Dr. Blackburn to enlist & compeny of men for special service in burning the St. Louis steamboats; the lettersto Dr. J. W. Booth, found on record in the book of the Rebel War Department, in company with other en- tries to the name of Bennet H. Young, aud other secret agents of the Rebellion—are concurring circumstances tending to a dismal conclusion. The New-York News is plausibly supposed to bave advertised for the arch-rebel direction for the payment $20,000 secret service money to Jacob Thompson, There is more of this testimony which we caunot now review, The general impression of the report will fortify tho opinion which has hardly at auy time failed to manifest itself against the author of the An- dersonville miseries, The friends of the State Pris oner profess to have something to say iu his defense. The Committee affirm on their part, that the work of investigation is not done, The Committee have properly rejected the testi- mony of the witnesses who avowed their own false- hood, with what motive it does not appear. The charge of Davis's complicity still exists, if we have judged aright the tenor of the report. But more im- portant, more welcome than anything else in the re- sult of this investigation is the promise that Jefferson Davis will be brought to trial, and, if guilty, con- victed and punished. Nothing bars the way. ADVANCE ALONG THE LINE The enemies of the Republican party are persistent in their endeavors to create a panic among its follow- ers. 'We have on one sidethe President of the United States and his Cabinet, using all the resources of the more than imperial power with which we clotbe the Executive office. On the other we bave the vast Copperhead organization —during the war & powerful minority in every Northern State—occasionally hav- ing the majority,’as in New-York when Horatio Sey- mour was made Governor, Then in alliance we find the majority of the Southern Bebels (not the South- orn people, for fonr millions of these people have been condemned by e Presidential policy to electoral silence) who, defeated in their armed attempts to de- stroy the Government, now propose to destroy the party which made the Government victorious, Itis natural that the Copperheads and Rebels should com- pose this alliance. They are our antagonists Dby that law of their nature which led one element to become cowards and bounty-jumpers, and the other traitors to the flag. But it is not natural that the President and his Cabinet should be in sympathy with this alli- ance. The Republican party gave them their power aud it wasnot too much to expect a certain degree of respect and sympathy if not allegiance. That is past, however. The President has gone his way, and is s tbough he bad Leen elected | | [ Randall and Niblack to o Copperhead Convention. “ But Sucretary Stanton has not indorsed the Con- vention ! That is why the Copperheads dislike him —and it is beeanse he clings to an office, which no Re- publican can hold with any regard to his self-respect, that the Republicans distrust his sincerity, If Mr. Stanton possessed that lusty love of freedom, which wo are assured fills his soul, would he be the sm;ilw who countersigns many of the orders that now issue from the War Department—would he submit to the dis- placement of men like Saxton, nud the elevation of Tillson and Fallerton—would he see, without protest, freemen of the South surrendered to the mercies of their former masters? Either Mr. Stanton is with us or against and he is certainly not with ns if he §its in the Cabinet with Randall, and Stansbury, and Wells. Why compromise any longer, and why hesitate because of the possible action of any Convention? Do the people require it? We are peculiarly near to the people, and know th to sce the first true Republican, earning his own livi g no office, who does not regard the Presidential policy a disgraceful surrender? Iianything to be gained by concession? What can we do—to please Henry J. Raymond and Thurlow Weed, for in- stance? What concession will make them better Re- publicans?

It is probable, however, that the fur- | ther prosecution of the investigation by the Committeo, aud by the officers of tho Government, will result finally in o ful] development of the whole transaction. The captare of the Rebel archives bas put the Government in possession of mass of letters, papers and documents of verious kinds, only a portion of which has as yet been exam® fned The examination, thus far, bas thrown light npon the gon- | eral policy of the Rebel autborities, which, in maoy particu- lars, iavolved a total disregard of internationsl law and of tae | usages of civilized war. The Secretary of War, through | ¥rancis Lieber, LL. D., Chicf of the Archive Office, Las fur- | | nished to the Committee copies of various letters and papers | found in the War Ofice at Richmond, beariog upon four points of the policy of the Rebel Goverament. | First: With regard to the vegroes bearing arms. | Second: The coudition of Rebel prisons and the treatment of prisoners. | Third: Orders issued and letters written by the Rebel Sec- | retary of War iu relgtion to the Union prisoncrs; and | Fourth—Viows and suggestions of Jeff. Davis in regard to Talon prisoners. | Coples of these papers have been furnished to the Commit- tee, and & syuopsis thereof is herewith subwitted as a part of this report, WlLile the cvidenoe thus furnished does not bear | directly upon the question submitted to the Committee, it has been thought advisable to lay it before Congress and the coun- try a8 sbow ng the brutal and ishuman poliey of the mon who | instigated and guided the Rebellion, and as being ia that par- | ticular intimately connected with the attempts that were made to burn the cities of the North, to destroy its commeres | on the ri lakes the oceau, without regard to the loss | of life; aad, finslly, with the assassination of the President of the Unitea States. | fssued an order that all megro slaves, captured in arms, should at ouce be delivered over to the Rx- | ecutive authorities of the respective State to which they be- | longed, to be dealt with according to the laws of such States; | and that the like order be executed in all cases with respect to all commissioned officers of the United States army, found | serving in company with armed slaves In insurrection against | the authorities of the diffcrent States of the Confederacy.

I Lope this may not be so, your subordinates in command of capturing parties may have Tocognized the propricty of KIVing no quarter to armed nogroes and their officers. In this way we may be relieved from a dis- lo dilemma. If they are taken, however, you will turu them over to the State authorities to be tried for crimes ot the State, and you will offer such facilittes in obtaining essos as the necessity of the public service will permit. Again, Smith, writing to Gen. Cooper, Adjutant and In- spoctor General, June 16, 1863, incloses two letters addressed b Gen. Taylor, and says: ' Unfortunately such captures were made by some of Gen. Taylo bor Davis. 10 his message to the Rebel Legislature, January i2, 180y, referring to the proclamation of emancipation of January 1 of that year, says that “‘tho negroes are encouraged to ge: oral assassination of their masters by the insidious recommet dation to abstain from violence, unfoss necessary for self-d fense. Although our own detestation of those who have at- tempted the most oxeerable measure recorded in the history of | guilty men is tempered by profound contempt for the impoie: rage which it discloses, so far as regards the action of the o1 those criminals as may attempt its execation, to informiag you that Lsaall, unless in your ther course more expodient, deliver to ties 01l commissioned offlcers of the y ptured by our forees in any of the States embraced ia tho proclawation, that they may be dealt with in accordance with the laws of those States pro- vided for the punishment of those criminals engaged jn loeit ing sorvile insurrection.” Oa the May, 1563, the Rebe Congress a series of resolations on tho subject of retali- ation. fourth resolution declares that ** Every white per- son, being o commissioned officer, who shall accompany negroes or mulattoes (o arms agains Confederate States, Junll bo deemed guilty of inciting servilo iusurrection, and if od shall be pat to death or otherwiso punished, st the on of the Court.” Kirby Swith, and by bis direction, R.

The report from the Inspeotor of Prisons at Caliaba, Als., in the Autumn of 1264, shows tuat the food issued to prisoncrs was poor in quality and issufficient in gnagtity. A similar ro- port, made by R Y Whitfield, Sargeon'in ut Calabs, A,ll.. dated March 21, 1564, leep- ing arrangements consist of rough busks, but reccatly con- structed, accommodating but 452, so that 22 are forced lo sleep upon tho ground, with but oue fire-place iu the buildin All the fires—nabout 40 in nnmber- ve beon, until the pass fow days, bailt at intervals upon the floor. In September, 1564, R, H.
