•*IT 13 NOW TOO LATE TO RETIRE
FROM THE CONTEST. THERE IS NO
RETREAT BUT IN CHAINS AND SLAVE
RY." Patrick Henry in the first Revolution.
The Freed Negroes.
The New York "Herald” of the 14th
April, now before us, records the arrival at
Pmladelphia of the first detachment of freed
contrabands from the South, who have been
eet at liberty by the laws of the Lincoln
Congress. They are the escaped slaves of
"rebels in arms against the Government,
who are declared to be free, and have been
sent North to render their freedom doubly
Becure by putting them out of the reach of
their rebel owners by any possible contin
gency. The Herald says "our colored breth
ren” were not "very lovingly received” by
the abolition inhabitants of the city of bro
therly love ; that Philadelphia has heretofore
had considerable experience in negroes from
the South, and is therefore averse to being
subjagaied by them ; therefore the "Herald”
says they are to be sent on to New York, and
and adds : •• it is quite probable that before
ruaoy weeks are over we shall have several
thousand of them, seeking work to which
they are not trained, assistance which they
have never before required, or shelter in our
almshouses, where they can sun themselves
readily every tine day in all the novelty of
indolence.”
The Herald protests against the emancipa
tion policy of the Government, and the send
ing the negroes North, and adds : " The sup
port of these contraband is becoming a heavy
expense to the nation, and will increase with
ttieir increasing number. It is no function
of the Government to enter into the cotton
of being the VervanuTamTcooKs of Ine army,
a servile coudition totally incompatible with
the Heaven.born intellects and the wonderful
love of liberty which, according to Greeley
aad Ueecner, they so pre-eminently possess.
"ihey must, therefore, be brought North to
be educated to kiss the blarney stone of New
Euglaud, and learn that they are made in
Go t’s own image and have a right to do it.
‘■Let them come on, then, to these "fields
and pastures new to the climate which for
bix mouths iu the year will keep their teeth
iu a continual ohatter; to employments which
if gamed, will deprive our white laborers of
their bread; to get false opinions of them
selves and of others ; to be in their own way
and everybody’s else—in short, to be the
plague and nuisance of every community
wnere they muster in force. The sooner the
better. We propose that fifty thousand of
these contrabands be brought at once to New
York and Boston, and we shall see what will
be the result. Let the white-coated philoso
phers mingle with their beloved ones, and
show that the contrast of color is a mere fal
lacy ; let the reverend doctors prove that
E ti’opia may successfully change her skin,
wuether the Lord pleases or not ; let the
wtiole tribe of silly lecturers, men and wo
men, ru&h into the throng, take them by the
hand, Dug them to their bosom, and survive
the till avium as they may, yet the attempt
will be a dead failure.”
Tne Herald tneu says the Northwestern
S.aies Dave excluded negroes from coming
auioug mem, and predicts that the Yankee
•States iu me Northeast will be forced to do
me seine thing ; and predicts further that
mere can be no settlement of the present
conflict—no end to the war, except upon con-
dmou that the South take and forever keep
all me negroes.
"What, then, is to be the upshot of this
whole matter? Most indubitably, that the
Northern Stales, in closing up this rebellion
wnl make it a condition of peace that the
Southern States will bind themselves to keep
ineir negroes at home, take care of them and
support mem themselves. Tney admire Bla«
very iu the abstract and per se: they are wel
come to all its benefits and blessings. If we
do not wish to see the free States overrun
with negroes, we must insist that no settle
ment of our difficulties shall take place until
Seceseia shall give bonds to keep her slave
popuiatiou wuhiu her own territory. To
tois conclusion the conservative mind of the
Norm is rapidly hastening. Is there any
sane man who does not look with alarm, as
well as disgust, at the idea of domesticating
two cr three millions of contrabands among
us ? And in what possible way can we avoid
this calamity, except by frankly making
known to the South shat we will not have,
we will not harbor, we do not want their ne
groes ?”
Triumph Sure
la the darkest hours there gleams out shi
ning rays of hope; and in the midst of the
deepest disasters that have befallen us. the
brightest evidences of the stronghold which
our cause has upon our people spring up
giving a higher degree of encouragement and
confidence than the greatest successes have
ever inspired. Those evidences of the fixed-
D98B of purpose of our people to be free—o
that indomitable will that cannot be conquer
ed—give us the most unbounded confidence
in the final triumph of our cause.
All the victories of the enemy are barren,
fruitless. They capture some of our property,
our arms, ammunition, Ac; but there is no
sign of returning “loyalty” at any point. The
property which they mostly want is destroy
ed wherever they approach, and no one wel
comes them ; and we have good authority lor
saying that the people who hate and detest
the Yankees most are those in Virginia and
Tennessee, where they have overrun the
country. We learn that men in both States,
who have all along been steadfast Union men,
have become strong secessionists since the
vandals have come among them with their
vandal propensities for "booty »nd beauty”
Here is our greatest strength ; and in case
our armies are vanquished, it will be our final
triumph. There is not power enough on earth
to subdue the people of the Confederate
States, if they will maintain their resolution
not to be subdued.

The Latest Sensation.
The editor of the Norfolk Day Book don’t
believe the enemy have passed the forts at
the mouth of the Mississippi, nor takeu New
Orleans. He Bays “ Bah !” at the news, and
thus accounts lor it:
The French minister, M. Mercier, went to
8eward one fine morning, and asked him se
riously and officially if the rebellion would be
able to maintain itself. Seward replied in
stantly, “No, certainly not; it will be utterly
crushed out in sixty days.’ Mercier thought (did
not say) "that’s a lie, in my opinion;” but he
said, “ I prefer to go down into Secesh, and
see if I can find out anything more about it
than you seem to know;” whereupon he set
about making preparations for his departure
Seward at once—wiley old rat that he is—
dispatched a telegraph operator with a porta
ble battery down to the vicinity of New Or
leans, to be on hand just after the French
minister had left the Confederate States, to
tap the wires this side of New Orleans and
telegraph that the Yankees had passed the
Forts, come up to and taken the citv, Ac.—so
that the news would reach Norfolk exactly at
the time to go by flag of truce to Fortress
Monroe, get into all the Northern papers, and
go over to Europe by the same steamer that
carried out Mercier’s official report of his vis
it to Richmond. The editor says it is all a
Yankee trick; that the plot succeeded to the
letter, and that its effect will be to delay the
expected action of the French Emperor still
/fl§’’ffum¥vifie*—£liua "cutting *o8 > *maiT*coffi
munication with the Crescent City.
Then he concludes that thesame Yankee tele
graph operator at some point this side of New
Orleans, who has thus humbugged the world
with his lies, is most likely playing a similar
trick with the people of that city by dis
patching them that Jo. Johnston had been
whipped on the Peninsula by McClellan
Richmond fallen, Jeff. Davis captured, Ac.
An editorial to this effect appears iu the
Day Book of Friday the 2d inst., just six days
after the reception of the news at Norfolk
with all the subsequent news that had been
received concerning it.
We do not pretend to give the language of
the editorial, which fills two columns—but
only the idea. We judge that brother Hath
away is a spiritualist.
General Shields.
Shields is a General in the Federal army,
and has commanded iu at least one action
where Southern men, fighting in defense of
their homes, were shot down by his orders.
On the 10th of October, I860, in San Fran
cisco, he wrote a letter in reply to an invita
tion to make & political speech, in which he
said:
1st. I will never help to impose a Northern
man on the South as President, unless I am
reasonably satisfied that he is scoeptable to a
majority of the Southern people.
24. If the political contest degenerates into
a sectional struggle, which the present de
rangement, as well as the prospective man
agement of political parties seem to point to,
my part will be taken with the South. My
reason: The South is acting in self defense
It is struggling solely and simpiy to preserve
its own institutions, but not to disturb the in
stitutions of the North; while the struggle in
the North is not to improve Northern institu
tions. but to interfere with the institutions of
the South. The insolent injustice and inequal
ity of such a struggle will decide me, witnout
hesitation, to act with the South.
3d. I would personally prefer Stephen A.
Douglas to any other man iu the United S;ates
for President, if he were acceptable to a ma
jority of the Southern people, or, what is very
much the same thing, was the acceptable can
didate of the united Democratio party; but to
my great regret he is not, and theretore I can
not support him in this canvas, and in this I
consult my views of duty and not my personal
preference—this casts me with John C. Breck
inridge, who if he can do nothing more, may
rally enough to reconstruct the Democratic
party. These are my views, frankly given,
but as I have no feeling on the subject, I urge
them on no one, and would keep them to my
self, but that my character ob.iges me to let
my friends know how I stand.
Yours, sincerely,
JAMES SHIELDS.

Corinth, April 9, 1802.
To Gen. Sam'l Cooper, Richmond, Va. :
All present probabilities are, that whenever
the enemy move on this position, he will do
so with an overwhelming force of not less
than 85.000 men. We can now muster only
about 35000effective(men.) VanPorn may pos
sibly join us in a few days with about 15,000
more. Can we not be reinforced from Pem
berton’s army ? If defeated hers we lose the
Mississippi Valley, and probably our cause.
Whereas, we could even afford to lose, for a
while, Charleston and Savanuah for the pur
pose of defeating Buell’s army, which would
not only insure us the Valley of the Missis
sippi, but our independence.

A Cipher Dispatch from Geeeral Mc
Clellan.
The Philadelphia Enquirer publishes the
following as a cipher dispatch sent by Mc
Clellan from Yorktown, and intercepted by
some secessionist operator in Baltimore —
The Enquirer says :
The dispatoh of Beauregard to Adjutant
Cooper, which was translated by General
Mitchell, has its counterpart in the follow
ing from General McClellan, dated from
Yorktown, and was translated by some seces
sionist operator in that delectzble ciiy. It
will be observed that the rule f>r translating
is to substitute the letter in the alphabet im
mediately before the leiter in the dispatch ;
for example, the letter B is used in the oipher,
you substitute the leiter A in the translation.
The despatch was as follows :
" Hp tp Tuplft Dmppuloh Tupef voefs
Dpoujofupm, bohfu wz vojgpon, dpz gps ju
bod, tfoe up Gpsusftt Npospf cz Fygftt.
" [Signed] GEORGE B McCLELLAN,
"Major-General Commanding.”
We give this in the original that our read
ers may exceroise their leisure in decipher
ing it. The first word of the translation, of
course, is “ Go,” according to the rule given
General Lovell's Antecedents.
General Mansfield Lovell is the son of a tor
mer Surgeon Genera! of the United States
Army. His mother belonged to the Berrien
family of Georgia. The subject of this brief
memoir was born, probably, at Washington
but if at the Nonh, it was during the tempo
LovefI"died*iirWashington within a few days
of each other, about a quarter of a century
ago. The orphan sons (four in number) were
thus thrown, so to speak np*.n 'he world;
but by the aid of relative-. 0:*. ir education
was cared for, and they all have attained hon
orable positions in life. General Lovell
graduated well at West Point, and disiin-
guished himself greatly iu the Mexican War.
Resigning from the army seme years ago,
be engaged in commercial pursuits in New
York, and was subsequently appointed Depu
ty Street-Commissioner by G W. Smith, now
a Major-General in the Confederate army,
whiou position he held until shortly before
casting his fortunes with the Confederate
StateB. Those who now though!iessly revile
this honnrable gentleman and skillful soldier,
do injustice both to him and themselves, and
we ask a suspension of puhlic opinion untii
the particulars of the New Orleans disaster be
known. We will add that two of General
Lovell’s brothers are married to daughters of
General Qaitman of Mississippi, and were
both performing military duty at New Or
leans. The remaining brother is a lawyer at
Savannah Georgia.—Richmond Enquirer April
20th.

We have had the usual difficulties which
beset the thorny road of freedom We have
been assailed by superior forces—slandered
by our infamous foe—weakened to a trifling
extent by eovert traitors practising upon tim
idity. We may grant that our Government
like all others may commit errors, which im
pede the success of t he cause.
What of all these? They are the weights
which patriots have had to carry in all ages.
It is but the dread of the Red Sea and the
love of the flesh pots. But we shall complete
a successful exodus. Like Cortes we have
burned our ships and can but look upward
aud onward for deliverance.
In the honr of calamity we have no word
of compromise, concession or complaint; but
hurl detestation and defiance against the foe.
Rather than submit let our armies perish.—
Rather than live the subjects or associates of
the invader, let us burn the goods that war
has Bpared, and gathering our household go
ferth to plant in some far and fertile land the
standard that has never bowed to a master.
There we would worship God and freedom,
free from oppressors who dishonor both.

B EING authored by he War Department
to raise my Battalion, now in Camp of In
struction at Camp atrpheDs, near Griffin, Ga.
to a Regiment, I ain prepared to offer to those
who desire to form Companies, a guaranty
that they will be received ai d mastered into
the service of the Confederate States, provided
they are willing to unite their destiny with
ours. Six-months companies have now a fine
opportunity of re-organiz ng and going imme
diately into service —u, t aB conscripts, but as
volunteers. The Ffty Dollars Bounty will be
paid to those who volunteer and are mustered
into service before the ie,h of May. As 10 our
Battalion, we have but to say that we expect
to do our duty and render ourselves not unwor
thy the cause in which we are engaged. Per
sons desirous of raising Companies, or Cap-
tains with Compauies ready organized, num-
benng at least sixty-four (61) privates will ad
dress me at “Camp Stephens” immediately.
