Now, .this view cf the.cas3 may do icjaitlee to the Stan
dard as well aa to otiers, but we have t o doubt that it is
the view taken, and that it does produce the retults attriba

each re alts nono of the parties were responsible, but feuch
cannot be said a; th s late day, when the sisie course is

view of trying to tfflct the same object, namely, encoarag

A Letter from Cupt. Dluftiit.
Cspt. iMaffiti, of the Florida, at Brest, writes a let
ter to ha Pat lie, (Paria,) explainiog the position of his
ship according to international law. He says :
Frist, Sept. 12th, 1863.
Sie : Yccr number cf the 10th inst. , contains two er
ro:s, which I beg perraieBion to secti.y. It ttstes : 44Two
incidents have jasttakea p ace iu Fratceant krg'and
which interest the Americaa qaastioa. 'J Le first is tbe
seizure at Bret-t, by a Fret eh hip-owr;er, of the Coateder
ate privateer Florida, who claims from her an icds-mi ir cf
100,000 francs for the loss of a vessel belonging to him, and
which was surk by the eaid privatf er." Ou this first point
I have the honor to assure you that, in Rpite ol the threats
of critaia persocs who preend to hwe olairoa a';net th3
corvette Florida, she has not ben yet seized.
1 protest in the moat formal and norg..tio manner against
the seccLd allegation ; tiie Florida haa mver had any iea
son for sinking a French vessel : the assertion is falsa, and
f refer you on that point to the letter published by M. Pec
quet da Belief, in the Ocean, of Urest, hich contiMc a
laithful relation of the itcideat of the encounter vrhich
took piace bttweea the Flcrida and the French vessei, the
Brertrtniier. As to the qualification of privateer wh;ch
you give to the corvette I have the honor to comnand. it
araes no doubt from the fact of your having been iil-in-iormed
as to the armament of the Florida. A privateer,
according to the definition given by Noel aad ChareL is
4a vessol armed by a private individual with the auihoriza
tica ct the Government." That definition has been, 1 be
lieve, adopted by all writers who have treated oa interaa
tionl law, but ii zeeorda but little with the real situation
of the Florida. That corvette ba--, ia fact, been built and
armed by the Government of the Confederate Etates ol
America, and her oSeera held their commission from that
Government.
She carries the national flig ai.d the peaaant carried by
vessels cf war, and receives her irjstructioaa directly from
the Mitiater of Halite of tEe Confederate fctatea. The
European Powers" having recognized the possesio by the
Government cf Richmond of the rights of belligerents,
amcng which are these ot forming armies and fitting oat
vested of war, I am at a loss to understand that the fact
of my Government cot being yet tffieiaily acknowledged,
can take frtm it the rgats inherent to every de facto uov
ernment, and placed in the category of a private individ
ual fitting out a privateer, and thus change the nature and
true character of its national navy, bush an in erpreta
tion cf national Jaw appears to me to be untenable. Re
lying oa ycur issparu'dlivy, i beg yon to insert this letter
in the tariitgt uumbor of ytur estimable journal.
Accept, tit the assurance of my perfect consideration.

Slowly did the hand of tbe Invisible roll back the
curtains of darkness that enveloped the earth 1 Oao by
oce did the breath cf tho angels extiu&cish the star
lampe of Heaven ! And as'lbe 6uo fluug back the gor
geous cloud that had veiled hia rising bro-v, acdepraDg
up on hia fiery course, "a a steed spriDgeth to the bat
tle," while tho light of his countenance, like the eye of
a focd mother beamed tenderly upon the infant earth
h-3 ' cherished the "hosts thereof" veiled and bowed
themselves at the near epproach of their Creator and
their Ccd.'
Standing beneath the branches of a spreading pome
grauite tree, whose flower and fruit tLe marniog breeza
scattered promiscuously at his feet, was the Father of
the human race. His refulgent brow, unsullied by the
touch of care or years, flashed bick the first beams of
the rising eun as from a polished mirror. His joyous
eye glanced for a moment ou the palm tree's stem, rug
ged acd dark then rested on" its crown of bright green
leaves, that in the morning ray flisbed like an orient
gem then over f tigradt sbrub and beauteous flower,
until it settled down upon the form of the light serpent
nestlirg at bis fret, i heir glances .met acd Adam
siooped acd laid bis baud gently upon itspriucdy crest,
smoothed down its scales ol crimson, green and gold;
folded its brilliant wings and closed its eyes then like
an infant weari'd with its toy, he turned to playing
with th lion's mane and sleeping h-opard's ppots. 11 is
eyes beheld the beautiful earth I His eurs drank in tho
harmony ol naturv, till Lis heart ouid hold no longer,
his moving lips poured lorth a gush cf j yous melody,
wild, deep, and ihnlhng as a h. rp-stneg'a chord swept
by an angel's hand.
Lured by the wirjn'ng music of his voice, a fair hand
parted tbe twining boughs of the myrtle, und a bright
lorin sprang timid :o hia side. He Btopped arid gazed
on this strange visitor. It was no angel, for it was too
fair nor an arch angel, fur it had no wings nor cher
ub, lor it wore no sparkling crown nor a Biraphim, lor
tbey are ever veiled, and this wad nor, save by vb puri
ty. The form was human, yet divinely so upon its
brow there dwelt., as uri his own, the radience of Hea
ven. It had aa eye, whot-e glance dissolved bis soul
' within its liquid depths a lp, whos eiu;h was dearer
than tne br.-ata that lans the 1 hrone a voice, whose
words were richer than t..e incense-laden wind, und like
ho tones he heard at eventide, he would riot, could not,
d-rd cot disobt-y.
He led Ltr fcith bencaih the liraa-tree'a shade and
through tbe citron grcves. He twined the myrtle and
the orange bouh, aud wreathed Uitoa with luo thorn
ier rest; that grew only in Paraditc, 10 deck her brow;
be plucktd the r c est clusursof ths grape and laid
thera at ter feet ; he wiped "he down from the fair
cheek of toe nectarine, released ti e golden plantain fron
its tind, and brought the iucicu3 ti that she might cat.
iVo wine cup pp-rir!ed there ; but a clear spring Bup
p'itd than with water, L.ud a bunch of tall, white lillies,
a aweet drinking cup".

Suddenly the place was !bl with niilody ! A thou
sand gcldi:n harps rang soft yet eiear ; a thousand voi
cez joined in raising hi:b tue gathering socg of Hta
veu ! Arjibrsial airs swept through the garden, ncd

It was tbe ;joorn of Earta's primeval Sabbath ; and
the " Hosts " of the threat uncreai'd gathered here to
consecrate ILs Ja3t and noblest work, to AJ's own holy
use. .Between toe "Tree of Koowlede" and or
"Life," the "Great Wbilu Throne" was fixed. A
buz ng cloud, that none could ever look upon and live
seived as a veil to hide His awful brow. From its
midst, 8 some bright orb iu tho far depths of Heaven,
beamed, with a lustre withering r.nJ intense, 41 The'

hie legions, too, had left the " goldeo battlements of
Heaven " to worh;p Lcrc on earth. Archangel bands
no more mad? bare their glittering swords iu distant
wf-rld?, ' but sped ia peaceful garb to join tho ret t.
And angels, tec, left for an hour their embospies of
peace, to worship, hero before Mac, ' pure and j 1st,"
