TUESDAY, JULY 0, IBM. The Baft, Pally, romltsre of Mr Abolition Knemlee. We kata before ua two wail numbers a( tka Raw York Tribune. la order u nbew oar render. haw Grenfoy “takas pa,” wa will aaka a few extract* end atala a flaw or bla petals, la Ika Urea pleoe he kaa a long leader la , wbiah ka dlaawaaaa Ika means of “raising tka wiad," by Ika Cnngreea aew la eaeaioo, nefol- lewa: Tea Fixaxoij.—The aaa (real baaioaee of Congress, al tka approenktag Ultra Saaaloa, la la raiaa Ika waya aad atoaol for a vlyaroua aad to*'ratio proeaaulloB of tka Wtr far tka Union. To this end, four eouraaa are luggai- ted, ona or more of wkloh tonal ba takaa, namely : 1. ImpDU Diracl Taut.—Wa object la tkla, not maraly baeauea af tka depressed aonditian of Indnatry and Dntintaa, but beoauaa tka collection of atiek taiea would naaeaiarlly ba raatrieted to the loyal Staler. It would be Boat unjuat to aaddla upoa tkoaa who aland by and uphold tka Union, tba whole oool of lta maloieaanoe. The wanton dieturbera of tka National paaaa akould, la nawlaa, ba axemp!' ad front bearing their full ehnre of tka bur- dona which their traaaan baa Impound on the Nation. If tbia ba ao, than Direct Taxation in tbla emergency la not to ba thought of. From tbla, it will ba aeon that the fanatiaal old ainnar inteada la subjugate ua, at what* near coat ha and hla Government may plaaaa, and than make ua pay It. Wa ware tha main aupport of ika Government, in all lie wiokad waata, axtravaganoe and oerraptiont. Nearly, if not quite, two-thlrda of lta income waa drawn from the proceeda of Southern labor and produota. Thaaa greedy aooundrala need tha Government—not aa a prataotion aad a blaaaing to ovary taction alike; but aa< a meant with whioh to tick our aubatanoa; not for the legitimate pnrpoaea af a Government, but a groat awindfmy machine, to gain an un due advantage over tbalr neighbora, and make diahonaat living from the boneet labora and hard aarninga of othara. Whan wa iaft tha oerrupt old ooncern, tbia aonroe of diahonaat gain waa out off; hence their rage and tbtir attempt to fofpe ua bqgk into their hateful embraee. They have waged war on ua upon tha moat extanalva tonic—al moat rivaling tha Crimean campaign, and have here annaunaad beforehand that they intend to make ua foot tha billa. They have another object in view, alao, which ia clearly diaooverabla in tbia leader of Qreeley’o, but a not diatinctly announced. It ia to aubjugate ua, and plaoa upon our nacka tha Iron beel of power ao Irmly that revolt can never again be attempted, no matter what may ba tha extent of their awindling and uaur- patiene; to make ua aarfa or veatale, impoaing upon na whatever burdena or oppreaalona they may aea fit—“bawera of wood and drawere of water” for them to the and of time—Ihia ia their aim. But here ia tha next proposition : 2. Confitcaiion.—Nothing would ba more rightaaua than la take tha property of the reb els, aa feat and ao far aa It may fall into the bauda of the Federal autheritiea, aad eonvert it to the uaea of tha Nation. They have wick edly oaueed an enormoua loaa and waata of property aa wall aa life; and tha loaa should be made to fall, ao far aa praetioabte, on its authors. If tba total cost and waata of this rebellion should (aa it probably will) reach One Tbousand Milliona of Dollars, tha larger part of It should fall upon the rebels, and ea- pecially on tha wealthy and aspiring, who, knowing batter, have brought tbla groat trou ble on tha oouulry. But, aa thin could not ba relied on aa a present resouree, and may not be daemed expedient, wa dismiss it from con sideration hare. In other words, they want money note.— They can’t run dawn bora jut now aad aalaa upon and oonfiscele tha plantations af Jeff. Davia, Elliok Stephana, &o. Beauregard and Johnston ara in the way. It will ba a good while before they can naive from this source. Something now to moat tbalr waata ia tha ary. A bill kaa already boon intraduoed into the Senate to oonlacata aueh property of traitors as they ean lay their hands on. A good many Southern men own property in the North. Lot them saiae upon it aa soon aa they please.— Tan of them own property In the 8onth or hold our obligations, either State or individu al, where ana Southern man owns property ia tba North. Ceateealloa la a game that two ean play at, and we ean play at II with pecu liar advantage, just now. Let them oommenoe. Hla third proposition la to tinker up the tar iff, upon which ha dwells at length, showing that he la (other sick af MarriU. Hla laat propoaltlen ia as fellows: 4. Loom.—Wa shall have to barrow money ia some skrpa, and a good deal of It. The practical question Is, Ia what form oaa the requisite amount ba obtained on tha most fa vorable terms t A large laaua of Treasury Rates has bona urged Tn same quarters, aad we tkisk well af tkat resort, pro tided those notes can ba surely and ateadily kept at par. If net, wa are opposed to them. * n a a a a a As to borrowing in Europe—which is urged from other quart ora—wa are utterly opposed to It Wo west no foreign aid ia tkla ooataat, whether Is men or money: if the Unionists are net too strong for the traitors, lot as ba Wo stHl bold that aa appeal ta tks great body of the People, offering them Treasury Ratos st eight to ton par cant interest, con vertible after twa years at tha pleasure of tbs Oorsmmene with n five par sent Lena, would draw out many millions of Speed* that would otherwise 11a dormant, aad add Ibimosaoly to the raaanrees of Iks Goeorameat aad the rat nma of the ewrrsaey.

Whan a mao with a largo fort use loses it all by gambling, his laat venture is a desperate one. finch ia Oroslay’a proposition an tks part of the Old Wrack. But there are several olkor mutton aad Hems in Greeley's paper which we know will iater- eet our readers. His Washington correspondent, lu speaking of tks erew of the privateer SavMoak, sayst "They are pirates of a deeper hue than Haa- lote or Malay,” and that every one akould bo “properly tried and properly banged.” Hu gels into a rage and cbldea and threatens Lin coin for not hanging lham, as follows : 81111.1 shall bo abundantly content if they are not art at liberty with oommlseioas to servo in the Federal Navy. Wo dare not hang a spy nor shoot a deserter! Gentlemen, per mit mo to remind you that there la nut a Pres idential election for nearly four years; and further, let me indulge In aeoend sight, and and hint to you that the boldest end trueet man in thie war will he Ike one on whom the Preeidentlal baptism will descend, either by ballot or bullet—the printed paper ar the painted bayonat. Mankind like obange, and wo have feasted on imbecility to a surfeit ia the last twelve years. Even if dsapotlam be comes personal, if with it goes security for something it may not only be endured but courted. If you will study the oharacter of your peo ple you need not go astray in knowing that they will certainly and this war, and that they will end it only with tha subjugation of every rebel. They will do it under your lead and direction gladly and dutifully, or they will de it under leaden whom the trouble of tbe hour shall bring out and ordain with command A special correspondent from the "Camp near Vienna” gives an account of the fight at that place, which ia decidadly rich- Ho says Col. McCook's regiment, which jumped from the cars end ran to the woods ao incontinently, behaved with the greatest eooloosa and intre pidity. He aaya the gallant Colonal " instant ly sprang from the ears, "gathered hie men around him,” "formed them in line of battle,' and lei them into the protection of a "thicket, apart from the range of the battery." He aaya, our guna were then directed at the Colonel and his men, whan the Colonel "quietly marched them into another clump of treee, and arrayed them boldly in line." And then they were so overwhelmingly outnumbered I Our readers will recollect that our forces were abandoning tha place, being under orders to go back to Fairfax Court House that night, and that only a part of a regiment waa there. Col. Maxcy Gregg, of Honlh Carolina, kad gone out with 720 men, all told. They had planted their batteries and awaited the coming of the enemy until it waa given up, and they were leaving. Only a small part of them remained to scatter the frightened Hessians; but only hear Grealy's correspondent: Col. McCook's position was far from oom- fortable. He saw that he waa prodigiously outnumbered, and that if the enemy could only keep their wits for a few minutes, ho must inevitably be captured, or venture a struggle al fearful odds. Ho had only about 180 men, while the rebel force exceeded 2,- 000. Their field pieces alone, dsoontiy man aged, would have destroyed tbe iiltla Ohio band in a twinkling. But the Ohio men nev er flinched, and this was the reward of their bravsry : The rebels, observing such a mors handful bearing themselves undaunted before their superior host, were al first mussed, and then startled into the conviction that power ful reinforcements mast be does at hand.— How also, it seemed to them, oould this sprink ling of troops hold their ground? It oould be nothing but the confidence of overwhelming strength that sustained them. And thie it not oonjeoture. The information since re ceived from Vienna proves It to have boon their real belief. Disheartened by this be- lief, they became irresolute, their fire tlaok- saed, they wavered, and, io a few minutes, broke up their lines and tlowly retired. At the same time Col. MeCook, having scoured his wounded, also withdrew, his 2,000 as sailants makiog no attempt or motion to op pose kis retreat. Thus, by a manly defiance, our Ohio men preserved themselves. The first indieasion of woekness or tropidatlon wenld have un done them. Bui now they ean proudly and truly say that they stood before tea limes their number of opponents, aad saw those opponents, all men of South Carolina, glide away from their sight, while they never for aa instant sworvad. That's good. When men will tell ilea, wo like them well told. Cheek answers finely ia some quarters. Brass, with tome, will pass for gsnuins coin. We believe it was Major Jonas who said that "ewmuA "had 'Maris'yuaf- itiee; it would” make the commonest pine look Jeat like 'bogany." Another "special” from Baltimore justifies the usurpations ol the army in Maryland. In spooking ol such Union men es Crittenden and Wiekliffe, he calls thorn traitors. Ho says: Traitors are not always olad ia the rod shirt of tka blood-stained warrior. Any man who dreams of peace, bo ho North or South, until the Rebels shell everywhere lay down their arms, end the ringleaders suffer death, end uatil the dominion of Ike United Btetes Gov ernment ia tupremt over every foot of ground In Ike Union, is n traitor ia heart of tba hlaek- ost dye, whether In or out of tha Government. Bravo 1 He also complaint bitterly of tbe (aeepaeity of the officers of tha araay, and heaps mountains of abuse on tka authorities, on account of It. Ho soys, "There dtoaone so blind no the so who will not see,” and that the treasperoet tolly of the AdnrieWyatloa It enongk to " put Secotsioalslt (o the tlush i* end adds t Ide net knew Gam.

This he aaya was tks cause and commencement of the war, Every body ecquaioted with the history of that affair, knows he lies. Hs ealls our revolution a “giant iniurree tion," aad says Virginia has allowed it to make a oast In her borders. He seys armed neutrality—the policy which Keatuoky kae adopted, “is disunion comple ted.’’ It builda an iospassibls wall bstwsen tha fitata and tha Oenaral Government, and takas all tha trouble out of tha hands of seces sion. It is tkat whioh disunionists above all other things desire; it give# them disunion without a struggle of their own—recognising no fidelity to the ooostitution, and no obligation to maintain the Union. He acknowledges tbs illegality of his increa sing tba Army and Navy. Ha says ha ventur ed on tha measure under a public demand, and believes nothing has been done beyond the com petency of Congress. He acknowledges tha illegality of his sus pension of tha privilege of habeas corpus; that it was io violation of the law he was sworn to support; but thinks it exousable because not only some of the lows, but the whole of them —the Constitution and the Union were viola ted and overthrown in one third of the coun try; and it became necessary for him to vio late his oath in relation to the rights of Citi- sens in order to maintain the Constitntion and tha Union over nil, and to eback tha further progress of disunion. A candid confession is good for the soul. He says his Attorney General will give a written opinion on the legality of his acts. He recommends that Congress give the legal means for making the contest a short and deci sive one. Ha thinks four hundred thousand men, and four hundred millions of dollars will do tha work, snd asks for this amount of men and money. He enters into a long argument on the right of secession, and contends that it don't exist; that tha U. 8. Government is owing mony ex pended tor the benefit of soma of the seceded States—Florida, Texts Ac —that if those States can secede and repudiate their proper share of such indebtedness, there is no stability in a government, and no securities in national con tracts and bonds. This ba says, in the face of the fact, that our government sent commission ers to Washington for tha purpose of conclud ing a peaceable settlement with them—tak ing a propor share of the assets of the govern ment, and assuming a proper share of its lia bilities. So reckless is ha in his disregard of truth and tha moat preminent facta. Ha says tha question has been asked: what will ba dona with tha rebellious States after they shall have been subjugated ? and says they shall be governed according to tha constitu tion. Io the message he hsa sloshed all around, vary muoh like a weak fool as ha is. We shall publish tba document entire to-morrow, when all onr readers can read, and form their own conclusions about it. ^In tha New York •• News” of the 29th of June, wa find an acoount of tha arrival at New York of Frank Spaargnd Robert F. Bar ton, from Savannah, whioh place they say they left oo tha 8th of June. Thay ware am ployad for a lima in a aaw mill at Savannah. Work becoming dull they want to chad flaking. Whan that waa over thay chipped on board tha 44 Counsel,” of Savauuah, as seaman. It soon hoiatad British eolors, and thay ware discharged. A fear of being pressed into tba army datarminad them to escape from tha South. For this purpose thay fitted up a yawl boat. With a email quantity of food and u barrel of wafer thay put out to aaa. Whan four dayi out, their meat head waa carried away. Thay put into Charleston for rapairo, at which place thay procured from tha Light hauaa keeper a peak of corn, nod put out to eon again, saying thoy ware going to Wil mington, N. C.

Bub I enanot goon withonl toetifjlng to the Doctor 1 , eloquence, for it nude an Iwpreeelon that will noteoon be vhn- iihed. He i. decided if the belt speaker I ham hoard tine* tha Revolution commenced, or elnee the Charleston Convention, If the date, are not ejat n/meue. I hava often seen tbe Dr.’s name mentioned •• one of tbe popu lar epeekere of the land, but to g*t the fall benefit of hie effort, one must meet him fee* ta fern. HI* grey hair, the impress *f a lung end active life ia tbe cease of hnmntity, sud the earnest ness with which he engages, render him a most effective orator. He mentioned the great number of hie pupils who had tl- readj gone forth to " light the battles of Geor gin" on the fields of Virgioie, end posted o glowing eulogy upon Col. Anderson—that day elected to lead tbe “ tmtii,” and about to fol low the call “to arms." Tha Comet, with all ita brilliancy, waa at that moment biasing before him, and ha did not lose the occasion to hail the omen, (though the phenomenon need to be looked upon as tbe harbinger of ill,) and to mantle hi* heroes with its glorious train. May the Doctor live long after hia young warriors have returned bringing with them an honorable and perpet ual peace. After the speeches, the soldiers, in their en thusiasm, called for Mrs. Sassoon, (the gath ering being at Washington Hall,) who, I sup poae, had been feesting them with the luxuries of her board. The Houston Brass Band, who, by tbe way, are exoellent performers, cheered the occasion with their melodies, and the crowd dispersed for the night. The trip to Macon was in good time; but did you ever find a right comfortable position for sleep in a car upon the five feet guage t I never did—not with all tbe twisting and turn Ings one ia obliged to make. Here ia an argu meat for the broad guage, and one which all ean appreciate; fora few inches more latitude, or longitude rather, would give a deal of com fort in these circumstances. At Jonesboro', a party of young folks came aboard, and you do not often hear such loud and hearty cheer as they kept up the whole way—perfectly ftoys-terous. I asked one of the young men if it was a “wedding party?” He said “No;” but added, that “a wedding might come after it.” The H. B. B. was mak ing the same trip, and at the principal villages on the route, stepped forth and gave the sleep ing dwellers a serenade, rendiDg the night air with their brazen notes. Arrive at Macon e little after seven, just in good time for a good breakfast, whioh can be had at the “Lanier House." This is, I believe, the largest Hotel in tbe State of Georgia, and will accommodate 1,000 persons when comple ted. It is upon Mulberry, one of the broad ■treats, between Second and Third. Extensive additions aro making at this time of some fifty parlors and ohambers. The sleeping rooms are large, well ventilated, and every way adapted to the comfort and convenience of the guests. Messrs. Logan A Mears are the proprietors, than whom there ara gantlamen of no greater affability. The servants are numerous and attentive, and altogether, the Lanier House may be considered a model House. There was a fire on Monday morning last, believed to bo the work of incendiarism, which consumed nearly a whole block on Cot ton Avenue. The lota waa some $30,000, upon which there is a partial insurance—partially in Northern offices. It consisted chiefly of provisions, an article which ought not to be sacrificed at this time. R. R. Bearden (A Co ,) one of the principal losers, had been absent from tbe city for several weeks, but returned within twenty-four hours after the fire, in time to see the smoking ruins of bis establishment. Macon ia decidedly n beautiful city. It ia well laid out and well built ~the streets being straight and broad—alternate widths of 130 and 180 feet. The pavements are wide, a great deal of care having been had to cover them with foliage, so grateful in these summer months. It is not a little strange that individ uals, even if corporation! will ~ot, do not taka more pains to croton their homes with foliage* No expense so trifling can possibly be as re munerative as a little time and labor spent in putting out shade trees. Men will spend thou- sands of dollars for some little architectural ornament whioh, after it is done, is no living feature, snd requires constant care snd reno vation, while the tree is an emblem of life, and will develops and keep pace with the progress of mind. Nature is the best mother, and we will do well if we do not wander too far from her nursery. Macon is the fourth city in the State, and has a population of some 10,000, I suppose. It is the Central City, and being in the midst of en excellent egrioulturel region, it seems as though it would come to be a place of great importance. The completion of the Macon and Brunswiok Railroad it aa event in which Meoon is moot deeply interested. Brunswiok is acknowledged to be the beet harbor upon the Southern coast, and this Road, tapping the seaboard at that place, together with its location through the heert ol the State, prom ises to mexe it one of the principal arteries of Southern oommerce. The north eastern pert of the city ia a little broken, and ia occupied by villas of much architectural beauty. Here are located the Colleges and the Stole Asylum for the Blind.

Megaton from Sonth Carol ins, Florida aad Alabama, besides a large number from Georgia, were present, and some very able speeches were mode, which ft it hoped will be reported la full Among tbe speakers was Gen.

For the ** Southern Confederacy.' Oulous— Cabbage. Mkbsbs. Editois : As all persons are fond of Vegetables, I will give you briefly my plan for cultivating Onions and Cabbages, ia whieb I am always successful. I never plant what is called tbe “ button' seed onion. I prefer the silver-skin or white onion, being tweeter and better adapted for the oulinary department than the yellow or red species. I proceed as follows: I par obsse six or a dozen papers of the white or silver skin onion seed, (I mean the small black teed, sold by druggists and merchants,) and these I sow in drills, about the first of May. I previously prepare my bed by pul verising tbe soil thoroughly, and filling the trenches with wsll rotted stable manure, in corporating the manure with the earth with a small sprouting hoe. I sow the eeed thick, oovering half inoh deep, tbe rows 18 inehes apart. Tbe seed will come up in 8 to 10 days; the bed should be weeded, and the space between the rows kept loose with the hoe. In August or September, the 44 eete” or inchoate onions are ready to be taken up.— Half dozen papers of seed will give a half bushel of sets for the next summer's crop. I plant the seta tbe last of October. They will come up aud stand six inches high during the winter, and grow off in the spring rapidly and vigorously. The soft should be planted in rich, porous soli. I never “ transplant” cabbages. My plan is to prepare my beds, and plant 3 or 4 seed in a hill, as I intend them to grow. When they come up, I thin out to a stand, aa I do oorn or ootton. Maay gardeners fail of thair cabbage crop, from the fact that dry weather prevents them from setting out their plants, or endangers them when set oat. My plan obviates these chances and risks, and always ensures a stand and the growth of thn plant, rain or no rain, at the proper time. I have now in one bed in my garden 7 or 8 bushels of onions, some of them ae large aa a tea-cup, grown as above, and I have at least a bushel of eete nearly ready to bn taken up, for tbe next year’s orop ; whilst my cabbage look well and promise a bounteous yield. I plant the green glazed seed ; the worms never interfere with these. HORTUS COLO. tko fata re, in a, be pniil «t u. North Western Bank, at tke W . . .
