(FOR THE LANCASTER LRIIQCR.J Why Is it many are disposed to denounce (the efforts that are being made to direct .public opinion, through tlio medium of the press, to the conduct of the heartless speculator and extortioner? Is it because public opinion, the great exponent of truth and .centiy to travel over a portion ot tin* and tome of the adjoining Districts, I bad a 1 fair opportunity of aeeing tbe crops. 1 1 aaw but little cotton except in some par ticular localities. The people generally 1 have had respect for tbe resolutions passed by the Governor and Council and the an* ticipated wants of the families of our poor eoldier, who are in the army, and acted accordingly. I see, however, some have planted large crops of cotton ; they are large planters, who bare thousands at stake io our present atruggle. Tbe aniticipkted high price of cotton at tbe close .of tbe war and their disposition to make money bare orerruled erery considers /Lion of patriotism with tbera. * This may be considered strong language, but it is no less true.

If you do not belong to jt that hearlleu cltu whom we desire public c opinion should regulate, all the shufls direc.

Why then say that it P is impolitic at this time to agitate the public mind upon these questions, and that these denunciations are but so many " steps towards Agrarianism ?

JUSTITIA. (VOa THC LANCARTCR LKDOBR.j 1 Mr Editor.?Having had occasion re* gramme is to buy up the slaves of the | border Stales, in the meantime hoping to tlarve us out by a protracted war; but we will be able to thwart him in this, if we make a proper use of our peculiar institution; by it we will be able to put a sufficient force in the field to meet any the enemy can bring, without producing a famin in his own borders. Therefore, all of the labor which we command should be applied in the right direction, then it will prove a blessing to us, and I will say in conclusion to those having control of o tbe labor of this class, let the cry for bread by tbe families of our soldiers ever reach tbe ariny and ihe effect need not be told. TETEK PLUCK. "The Great West" There is, very evidently, in tbe West, and particularly in Ohio, Indiana and II1 linois, a strong opposition to tbe present war upon tbe South. Tbe tone of tbe press of those States, tbe public meetings and tbe Democratic conventions, all prove this,-conclusively. This feeling does not display itself as boldly opposed to the war rxrsc; but assumes tbe form of opposi lion to Abolitionism, coercion, and subju Ration. It would not be safe to exhibit it atberwise; for, io tbe event, tbe individusis giving expression to it would soou find themselves incarcerated within tbe walls of some Yankee baslile, and their opposition thus speedily and effectually crushed out. Bui by professing devotion to the Union, tbe Constitution, and the Admin stralion of Abraham Lincoln, they can organize thoroughly for work, and thue lecure a way to triumph in tbe approach ng Fall electioas. Whether, so far as we ire concerned, this amounts to anythiog >r not, we will not pretend to sa^;* but | if one thing there can be no doubt; there , i no longer a united North?but divided , ounsels everywhere prevail, and *'Con , ervatism" now dares to raise its head, < rbere, a few shore months ago, its ex. ression would have been followed with r lie severest punishment. j T This Conservatism, however, is pretty [ iucU confined '.o the great West, where p le light of freedom has not yet entirely t; eparted, and where men still dare, some tj mes, to speak, act, and reason for them- a jvles. In witness of this, we refer to >me recent extracts from Western papers g bich we have published, anJ to the pro- ? iedings of the Indiana Democratic Com r eniion, on the 20tb July last. c In that Convention, all the speakers ( enounced the Abolitionists unsparingly 0 nd condemn Lincoln's emancipation ? olicy severely. Mr. Wyckliffe, of Ken. , uckv, is reported to have said, that be ^ ras "for the Union, if the 8outh and t lavery were not interfered with ; but if , he war was waged to free the slaves, not | mother drop of blood ought to be spill. , id." "Your Lovejoys*, Phillips', and ( ireoleya' say they can't fight thia fight ( iny longer, unlet* you will arm the nig , ;ers. Will you ever content to thia !" Cries of "No 1 never !] "I have already laid that slavery was the cause of the ebellion." "The Constitution, with its prohibitions, Us guarantees, and its reitrictions, has been no more regarded by the party now in power, than you do a last year's almanac." "I am for a white inao's war against the Abolitionists." Mr. Carlisle, of Pennsylvania said : "No other war than such as was recog nized in the resolutions of the extra ses ion, a year ago, could be justified by the civi'ization and Christianity of the age?a war, not for conquest or subjugation, but for restoration of peace. The instant we divert it from such ends, then we place ourselves side by side with the rebels." "The policy inaugurate!] by them will continue the war forever, and bring you under a military deepotiam. "The subjugation or extermination of the Soutb waa impoeaible. He taid that the inlereata of the Western Slates were with (be 9oulh. There was their grain market?"you have a northern market the same aa ever; but your corn is rotting in your granaries, and you walk on the ruina of your proaperty. Free the nig {era exterminate the whites, and give '.lie land to the Yankee Norway rata, and you ii never nave a market tnere. "indiaoa wn more interested (ban slaveowners themselves in perpetuating slavery io the Mouth." '"To free four millions blacks will be to keep up taxation, increase debt, ruio properly, degrade our children, and make tbia country a second Mexico." Mr. IjLiebwdeon, of Iliioois, followed in tbe same strain. IJe **id : "If the &epublican party is retained in power the Government is gone forev.er. Op ly in conservative pueo is ibsrpppy sa(ety. Ma daws eased tbe President's emancipa tiep eAswse as calculated to enslave t,ha wbite while freeing the black, and insist- 1 ing that New England was making nil the money, holding all the contracts, and j escaping with fewer soldiers m the field, and lighter burdens of taxation than the West. "We are made their hewers of' wood and drawers of water, while they run the nigger exclusve.y for money." This is, certainly, very plain talk, and i shows clearly that the "great West" is ! by no means bound to lire car of the grasping cunning East. Her interests, says one of the speakers, are with the South; and, we may add, if she would only act upon this idea, she might by cuting loose from her Eastern master, so cure her prosperity now and forever. Mr. Yallandinuhatn, in one of his speeches in Congress, said ; "'I'llera is h West J" Tl^e words were, perhaps, oni nious; and the "begining of the end," which so many hearts are anxiously beat iDg to witness, may have commenced in the facts and sentiments to which we have alluded. A meeting in llutler county, Ohio, has also declared that "The Federal Government should be taught that the Great West will not permit itself to he utterly ruined and impoverished bv a partial Congress 1" Ller obvious policy then is, as we have already intimated, to cut loose from the North and East ; and if alio will not unite her destiny with that of the Southern Conlederacy, at least establish a bond of peace and unity with it, by which means she may be able to retain her trade with the South, and become, really and truly, "the Great West "?Charlotte Bulletin. The Affair at Malvern Hill. An otlicer who participated in the af fail at Malvern Llil.' has furnished us with the following particulars with reference o the occupancy of that point by the meiny, and its subsequent recovery by mr forces under Gen. Long&treet : On Tuesday moruing the 8th Georgia 1 egiment Captain Dawson commanding. ' vas moved up from New Market 1 ieights to relieve the I7ih, then on at Malvern Ilill. On the inarch ' hey were met by several couriers, ata- ( ing that the enemy were in large force c dvancing upon the bill and in its imme iate vicinity. The reports of artillery ave evidence that a brisk engagement ^ as goiog on. Wben the 8lh Georgia eached the base of the bill the announ- ( einent was made by several couriers to , /apt. Dawson, that the ammunition of ur pieces was exhausted, and that the irtillery at the post, and the 17tl?, were urrounded. Capt. D. immediately dia latched a courier to the commandant of he 17th, that he had formed his regi nent in line of battle at the base of the lill, and would protect their retreat, and :o come off at all hazards. With artilleryplaying upon one flank and a cavalry charge upon the other, they left the hill, and aucceeded in making good their te treat, bringing off all their pieces, and only losing one caisson that was torn to pieces in the fight. Some eight or nine of the 17th had previously been captured while picketing. Three members of the srtillery were LIIU.I -rwt I .... 1<?. i I and 80 of tlie enemy are supposed to have been killed. About one mde from the base of the hill, the 8th Georg'a whs overtaken by the enemy's cavalry and j artillery. So soon as it was discovered, the regiment was drawn up in line of battle, which checked the advance of the foe. The regiment then moved back in to a cornfield, and under cover of the corn and intervening hills the retreat wan effected with the loss of one man of the regiment, who was raptured. The regi ment continued to fall back till it came within a short distance of New Market heights. About 3 o'clock the same regiment received orders to advunce again through a thick woods on the left of the river road, with a view to feel the enemy. They advaored about two miles, when \ their skirmishers were tired upon by the enemy, simultaneously with a charge of (he enemy's cavalry upor. our cavalry.? Our cavalry fell back, but the regiment continued to respond to the tire of the enemy for tome ten minutes, when the firing ceased. Falling back, the cavalry and infantry took position at an eligible position about 400 yards in rear of the woods. The enemy made no further demonstration on that day, bavir,y full possession of the hill. On Wednesday morning at daylight the corps of Geo. Longstrset was moved forward, and encamped that night with- | in half a mile of the bill, the day having been spent in reoonnoitering. On Thurs ; day, about 12 o'clo.k, tba corps ad vanced and took possesaioo of tba bill without firing gun, tba enemy having evacuated the night before, about 12 o'clock. The number of the enemy was estimated at from 15,000 to 30,000 ? Several prisoners were taken, among them two sentinels, who were on the top of the house on the summit of the hill.? Considerable supplies of coffee, meat, crackers, <feo., were left by the enemy, in dicating that they had evacuated under evident alarm. ? Richmond Dixjxitch. Reports of Prisoners. KNLISTMKNT8 AT TIIK SOUTH. The Richmond Dispatch says : Some of the exchanged prisoners from Fort Warren (Huston harbor) slate that previous to their departure for the South, lliev had good opportunities of learning the facts in regard to enlistments in tlie Federal army, and they fully confirm the accounts heretofore received from various sources. In the city of Boston slupend ous efforts have been made to stimulate volunteering, but thus far without practi cal result. Meetings of citizens are held almost daily-, and money is liberally sub scribed to the bounty (und; yet even this hail fails to tempt the poorer classes, who frequently answer the appeals to their pa triotisin by asking the wealthy men why they do not sefc an ex ample l-y enlisting themselves. In some instances these meetings have broken up in regular rows.? Criminal* have been released from prison on condition of their joining the army, and every possible subterfuge is resorted to in the hope of avoiding h general draft; but tlio impression is that the quota of Massachusetts cannot be furnished by any other tni-ans, and hence the newspapers are laboring to conrince the public tnind of the peculiar advantages of a measure which tire masses universally condemn. A statement lias been put in circulation that thirty thousand men have already volunteered in the several States, hut this was so utterly at variance with the truth that a New Yoih journal refused to give it currency, and came out with a Hat con* .radilion. The guard over the prisoners at Fort iVarrcn is composed of paupers taken mm the poor houses iu ISoston and vi? linity. TRKATMKNT OF PIUSONKits.

Among the exchanged prisoners from Fort Delaware who have arrived licre is Jos. McMurran, of the 4ik Virginia regiment, captured at Kernslown. Lie agrees with his companion* that the treatment of Confederate soldiers was brutal in the extreme. The officers and soldiers in im mediate contact with the prisoners were Dutch, and their brutality to our men was without mitigation. In return, our men say that there won't be any more Pennsylvania Dutchmen taken prisoners by them during this war. Striking a prisoner over the head or running n bayonet at hiin was a common occurrence. A Dutch Provost Marshal, named Segebarth, exce'led his brother brutes in maltreating the prisoners. A dungeon, made to (itwiuwunvn tnrcr men, <?bttrvi I'nniHliiCd fourteen, and lli?*ir sufferings were very greet.

The general determination of the exchanged prisonei* is to be shot be fore they will again be taken and under' go the miseries of a Northern prison.? Just before the prisoners left Fort l>elaware the following order from the War Department was read : [Extract] When a general exchange shall be es lablished, those prisoners who are willing to take the oath of allegiance, and as to whose loyalty there is no question, will not be forced into the rebel lines.

The "Irrepressible Conflict" in New York?Riot Between White* and Black*. In lirooklyn, N. Y., on the 4lb inst, * serious riot occurred between n number of Irish laborers and the negro workmen i in the tobacco factories. The negroes ! had been very insolent for several days, j The J feral J sa_\ s : On Saturday last hostilities assumed the first practical shape. On the afternoon of that day one of the negroes employed in Lorillard's tobacco factory was standing in the doorway of Grady's liquor store, on the opposite corner of the street, ' when a white man, who wauled to pass | in, asked him quietly to gel out of the way. The r.egro said lie would not, as he had as good a right there ar "any other man." The while man again asked the negro to step one side, which the latter gruffly refused to do, upon which the former kicked him out of Ids way. On seeing this, another colored man ran across from Lorillard's with a knife in his hand to stab the white man, lull whs prevented from doing any injury by a policeman who came up. This entied the difficulty on Saturday. Yesteiday morning a delegation of white men went into Mr. Lorillard's factory and insisted that negroes should not he allowed to work there. Mr. Lonllard said he would comply with lite request, and slopped bis colored laborers from working. About one o'clock in the af lernoon over a thousand w Idle laborers, I women and children, arsi-uibled in Ironl of Mr. Watson's facsorv, armed with clul?a, brickbats, stones, and olber miss lies, and commenced a headlong assault on the windows. Several policemen had been previously secreted in the building to protect the negro workmen in case of the threatened attack. As soon, there fore, as the rioters entered the door, they endeavored to rush up to the second story, where the negroes were. Here they were met hy the policemen, who succeeded in preventing their ascent.? One of the assailants then set fire to a pan of tar on the first floor, ami in an in' slant all the wooden ?*otk about that part of the building was in flames. The fire was, however, speedily checked by the police before much damage was done. Finally, while a few policemen were holding the rioters at bay, a large reinforce merit arrived from the 42.1 43d 44lbt> and 50ih precincts, and those in the building were ejected, when a genera', row occurred between them and the police. A negro attacked officer John Donnelly, of the 4*3d precinct, thinking bo | was going to arrest him, ar.d inflicted a serious wound on his head with the side of a bos. Sergeant Wright got badly cut during tbeW/ce in the shoulder with a pitchfork. At this juncture a voice out, "Boys, set the bloody building on fire and burn the damn niggers." This was received with the wildest shouts of approval by the crowd, who again surged toward the premises with the intention of carrying out the advice that had been given them; but. n.;twillis(aiiif mtr the ?hr??<.r? iJ D ~ W..W " V stunts, bnc1"hats, dec , the police plied their clubs vigorously, and the intention was frustrated Someone or two of the negroes got badly hit in the row ; but all the rest were well protected by the po lice, who sent theai away in all directions to avoid further trouble. The inevitable drafting order has at last fallen on the North. Tbe following is tbe document : War Dbpartuicnt, ) Washington, August 4, 1802. J Ordered, Firtl.?That a draft of tbree hundred thousand militia be immediately called into tbe service, to serve for nine months, unless sooner discharged.
