lABSEST DULY CIROIUTIOI a THE STATE.
d-HEE FIRST PAGK.-0
Black and Red Republicanism.
These two divisions of the human taco
present so close a similitude that history must
place them in the same category. If it is
not the. distinctive purpose of Red Re
publicanism, so to incite the passions as to
lead to blood, such is its effoot. In what re-
speot does the creed and objects of Black Re
publicanism differ from this description?—
Red Republicanism has iu source in fanati
cism—in that state of the hnman mind in
which reason and the affections have lost
their control over the brutal instincts of the
race. How can any distinction be porceived
between tneae and the Puritan people who
imbrued their bands in the blood and burnt
poor wretches for witoboraft, from religious
bigotry?—who set fire to Nunneries and
placed the weapons of death in the hands of
the negro? To briog the parallel closer, and
extend it to those who are the index to opin
ion and feeling, who is able to distinguish
between Marat and Sumner; between Robe
spierre and Thaddeus Stevens; between St
Just and Trumbull of Illinois?
And yet European nations that armed the
people of all other climes in wars that cost
millions of treasure and oceans of blood,
against Red Republicanism in the old World,
lend a sanction to Black Republicanism on
these Western shores. In the perverted mor
al vision of Englishmen, the ferocity in tbn
Old World that would consign innocent peo
ple to death and decimation, in the pursuit
of visionary theories of liberty, deservos ex
ecration, but applaud ■ to the echo tbo insane
doctrines of negro freedom, and would compla
cently view their realization, through con
flagration and blood - and massacre, in the
New World. Oh, human inconeisteney ! is it
the perpetual office of History to chroniclo
your contradictions ? C
The British and Slavery.
The British people and Government planted
slavery in the United States. The British par
liament rejected s petition by Virginia to nbol-
ieb the slave trade. The British towns of Bris
tol and Liverpool at one time drove a profitable
trade in slavery. The British ciiies of blanches*
ter, Leeds and Glascow, have laid the broad
foundations of iheir wealth in slavery. The
British manufacturing interest, the cotton aria
tocracy, have become opulent and powerful from
slavery. British industry baa been fed through
a thousand chanuela by slavery. British mere
ebanta have reaped large commercial profits from
slavery. British ship-owners have jjrawn. rich
frainhl* f.«— .1.—-r- o.iiuu uiBCUBlUCal skill
has had opened to it a gfcat field for its inge
nuity, derived from slavery. British artisans
and laborers have been fed, clothed and housed
by incomes and wigea of which the souree was
slavery. The British Exchequer has been the
recipient of a large revenue from slavery. The
British Monarch and the British Peasant have
alike' been benefitted by slavery.
Yet Mousrcb and Peasant, Statesman and
Pensioner, Artisan and Shop-keeper, have joined
in one general chorus in denunciation of slavery
—have united to pull down the fabric of an insti
tution of whibh they laid the foundation—wnich
they have braced and buttressed; which has
yielded them uncounted stores of wealth, innu
merable sources.of income, which is incorporated
with the social system of a whole people, and
which, to overthrow, would be' destructive ol
life, property ond happiness. C.
From Vicksburg.
A correspondent of the Mobile Advertiser £
Register writing from Vicksburg, the 10th,
says:
The opinion still- prevails here that the
Yankees are evacuating the peninsula. Since
Saturday, there has been a continual moving
up and down of the transport 11 , and the gen
eral belief is that they are carrying the troops
further up the river, to some point where
they can find dry land. The water is not
yet up to their present camping gro.und, but
is rising rapidly, and can be seen from tho
city to be encroaching upon them with rapid
strides. It is also reported that the levees
above there have been cut, which, if true,
will soon leave the whole. peninsula under
water.
******
It appears that on account of the water in
the canal, they are not able to do much work
at it, and in order to facilitate the progress
of their labors, they have constructed dams
at both ends, te keep the water from running
in while they are engaged iu digging out the
etumps and other obstructions.' They seem
determined to mako it a success, whilethe
more honest portion of them .confess that it is
a failure.
• •••**
It is now believed by mauy that the land
army which is being transported up and down
the river on the transports,' is a useless en
cumbrance ; that it never will be brought to
operate against Vicksburg. This opinion is
gaining ground from the fact that there is no
practical landing place on the river where this
force could be debarked with safety, and con
sequently it cannot be brought into action.—
The rise in the river bids fair to attain enor
mous proportions; every possible avenue to
the hills will be submerged, and no landing
place ean be found except under the batteries
at Vicksburg. The only show for an assault
now is a repetition of last year’s attempt by
the gun and mortar boats, and for them wo
are well prepared.
I would not be a bit surprised to hear that
Gen McClernand’8 monster army wouid be
entirely withdrawn from here and taken back
lo Memphis, in order to get up another ex
pedition on foot by way of Grenadq and
Jackson. Tho river expedition is a failure,
and it will very shortly be eo pronounced.—
There are no apprehensions manifested here
about anything that this army can accomplish
against Vicksburg. It will jievor be able to
leave the transports, much fees to attack tho
point in the rear.
There ia also a Confederate expedition on foot
which will very shortly set the Yankees to dan
cing juba in another quarter, and will require at
least part of the gunboats to withdraw from here.
What this expedition is will be made known in
good time, and may prove as disastrous to the
toe as it will be gratifying to the Confederacy.
With the exception of the ganboats making an
assault upon the city, it looks very much at this
moment as if we wero to have the big fight at
Vicksburg after alt. The niigh'y Mississippi is
doing his part, and tho consummate strategy of
our generals may do the other part, which will
drive the Yankees away from here and clear ont
the river of all that kind of nuisances.
The Vicksburg correspondent of the Memphis
(Jackson) Appeal) writing on the 16tb, says:
The water can now be distinctly seen cn
croaching upon the peninsula in the direction
of the Federal camps, and, if they are not now
engaged in evacuating, they will be driven to it
very shortly. It |s currently reported that some
patriotic guerillas have out the levees above
Young’s point, which lets the water in over the
ground now occupied by the enemy. This re
port has not yet assumed a sufficiently definite
shape to be worthy of credence ; but the fact is
palpable that the water ia intruding upon terra
firnia to an uncomfortable extent tor the Yan
kees ; and it isunly from the rise in tho river
ti.a, itic present movements can find an explaua
tion.
Yesterday, a contraband, who had made hia
escape from the Federals, arrived here, having
been.on the way for several days, and got to a
mint on the river some forty miles below, betore
te could find any means of crossing. Four de
serters from the army also came over, pretty
much in the same way as the nigger—by going
a great distance down the river. Tho report I
gather from them is that the canal is a failure,
and that the high water will soon clear the
swamp of all Yankees. They sre not working
much on the ditch, on account of the high wa
ter. In order to con luct their labor with suc
cess, they have constructed coffer dams at both
extremities to keep out the water while they are
deepening it.
The Yaftkee Government has not only
made a confession of imbecility in the face of
the whole world, by the act raising negro regi
ments, but in that confession it has inscribed in
ineffat eable characters adisgrace that will extend
to the moat.distsnt extremities and the remot
est posterity. Voltaire once said that the French
people united the qalities of the most feeble and
ferocions ot tie animal tribes. The closest re
semblance that can be found in the varietieaof
the human aace to this description is in what
Walsh calls the Universal Yankee Nation. If
there is any difference to be found it is in the
predominance of the more savage characteris
tics in the latter. Ia not Lincoln the type and
embodiment of this supposed union of the Ape
and Tiger in the same body politic ? -
Cabxtieq Out ths Emancipation Proclama
tion.—Within that portion of Virginia now oc
cupied by the Federal forces under the notorious
Milroy, Lincoln’s emancipation proclamation ia
being fitiihfully carried out.' The following ia a
copy of an order sent to a lady of Clarke county,
by Gen. R. H. Milroy, through the hands of a
runaway negro named John Washington, whose
wife and children were servants of the lady:
Madam—Yon will release to Mr. John Wash,
ington his wife and children, and all other slaves
in your possession, made free by the proclama
tion of Abraham Lincoln.
(Signed) R. H. MILROY,
Brig. Gen. Commanding.
We understand tbat Mr. John Washing car
ried ont his mission, not only in taking off the
slaves demanded by Milrov’s order, but also the
fine carriage and horses ot the lady upon whom
the demand was made.—Rich. Dispatch, Febru
ary 11.
Tub Exemption Bill Disposed of in the
Hodsx.—The Hoase ot Representatives yester
day gave the quietus to the Exemption Bill re
ported from the Committee on Military Affairs,
and all the amendments connected therewith.
After expending two weeks in its discussion,
and adopting a large number ot amendments,
the House deliberately defeated the meaaue by a
vote nearly approaching unanimity. It will be
recollected that an act was passed eome two
weeks ago repealing the most objectionable
clauses ot the existing exemption law. The
action ot the House yesterday leaves the bit!
enacted at the last session in force, except so
ranch of it as tins been rescinded by the adop-
llOBOf the biR rafloaliag the clauses which gave
color to discrimination and class legislation.—

An Abolitionist for Peace.
A few days since Senator Conway, of
Kansas, one of the most ultra of the Re
publican members of Congress, made a
strong speech in favor of peace and the
stopping of the war. The speech is said to
have the approval of Gov. Andrew, Charles
Sumner, W. Philips, Horace Greeley and
other leading abolitionists, who held a cau
cus in Washington just before it was deliv
ered. It is a very important and signifi
cant demonstration. -
Mr. Conway in his speech announced
himself as opposed to re-unlon. He says:
“I am not in favor of restoring the con
stitutional relation of the slaveholders to
the Union, nor of the war to that end. I
have never allowed myself to indulge in
that superstitious idolatry of the Union so
prevalent among ’simple, but honest peo
ple, nor the political cant about the Union
so prevalent among dishonest ones."
That the South had established its inde
pendence he boldly declared, saying:
“The war between the North and the
South for the past two years has made a
revolution. It has substituted in the South
another government for the Union. This
is the fact, anti the fact in such a matter is
the important thug;. No technicality in a
question of this kind can stand. The war
has utterly dissolved the connection be
tween the North and the South, and ren
ders them separate and independent pow
ers in the world."
Mr. Conway concludes by announcing
that the true policy of the North is to ter
minate the war at once, and he urges both
houses of Congress to adopt the following
resolutions:
Resolved by the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives, That the Executive be, and he is
hereby requested to issue a general order
to all commanders of forces in the several
military departments.of the United States
to discontinue offensive operations against
the enemy and to act for the future entire
ly on tho defensive.
Resolved, That the Executive be, and he
is fqrther requested to enter into negotia
tions with the authorities of the Confeder
ate States with reference to a cessation of
hostilities, based on tho following proposi
tions: 1. Recognition of the independence
of the Confederate States. 2. A uniform
system of duties upon imports. 3. Free
trade between the two States. 4. Free nav
igation of the Mississippi river. 5. Mutual
adoption of the Monroe doctrine.
Serenade to Maj-Qen. Sterling Price —
Last night Smith’s Armory Band, at the in
stance of a number of Gen. Price’s friends,
serenaded the General at his quarters, the
Spotswood Hotel, and the occasion gather
ed about five hundred people: After the
delivery of the first air, after repeated calls,
Gen. Price appeared at one of the windows
of the parlor, in which were gathered quite
a number ot ladies and gentlemen, and in
troducing himself in his usual brusque way,
spoke as follows:
My Fellow Citizens: It affords me great
pleasure to appear before you in acknowl
edgment of your very kind compliment of
this evening, in this the capital of my na
tive State. But I hope no speech is ex
pected. At home I was in the habit of
making political speeches. But this is no
time for political speeches; but the time
for the exercise of the sword, and not of
tho tongue; and such a testimonial at this,
my friends, in recognition of my humble
services, suffices to nerve my arm to strike
a heavier blow. Speaking is no part of my
profession; fighting is my calling, and if 1
have half a chance, my friends, you shall
hear from me. The authorities at Rich
mond are inclined, I believe, to give me a
chance, gentlemen, so yqir may look out.
I have been more impressed with this fact
than I ever was before, and I am glad to be
able to say so. My friends, I appreciate
most highly this ovation to my poor merits.
1 thank you for this compliment. Good
night.
The General withdrew, more exhausted
by his long speech than he would have been
in fighting a battle.
Calls being made for Senator Foote, of
Tennessee, Senator Clarke, of Missouri,
Judge Moore, of Kentncky, and others,
the gentlemen named appeared and made
short addresses, after which the band play
ed various airs, and the assemblage dis
persed.

Ia Reconstruction Possible?
Jet! Davis asst r's in his mess n ge that the re
construction of tho Union is impossible. The
Governors ot the seceded States have assorted
the same thing. The several Legislatures of
those States sustain the Governors; the rebel
press scout the idea of reconstruction, and the
great mass ot the Southern people are now bit
terly Opposed to the old Government and Union.
Here is a population of five and a half millions
of whites, as sagacious, enterprising and deter
mined as any on earth, controlling irom three
to four millions of negroes, who with their labor
may justly be counted as effective in deforisive
wanare as the whites, making an aggregate ol
nine millions, inflexibly opposed to the Federal
Government, and asserting their independence.
Tho Government has waged a war upon them
for two years with all its energies, and it is now
as far from success as at the commencement of
the struggle. Its exhaustion has not been as
great as tneirs, because of its superiority of re
sources, but it haB been equal to theirs when
comparing the rneaits of the parties at the out
set. What is now to be done ? .... -,. v
Shall we grant the independence they assert,
and consent to dissolution? In the loyal States
none but those who have steadtastly made war
upon tho old government, and prayed for its
ovcHlirnw, entertain any such idea. Shall we
coi.i r-iio the w r when tho obstacles to success
atuseemingly insurmountable? If theseobsta
cles were real, instead of unreal—if the mos't
formidable of them might not be removed by
change of policy that'so far irom being dishon
orable, is demanded alike by justice and the
loyal public sentimeut—then -interest and hu
manity would require in3tant negotiations for
pesce.
We believe the re-establishment of the gov
ernment is a matter for our determination,
and not that of the Confederate leaders.—
Reconstruction in the present attitude of tho
belligerents ean only be accomplished by the
extermination of the nine millions of in
habitants, white and black, in the Southern
3tates. It is madness to dream of this result.
But when restoration is offered in such a
manner that that the interests of both parties
are manifestly, subserved by it, and the hon
or of each preserved, wiU the people of the
South reject the offer, and sacrifice them
selves to the ambition and malevolonoo of
party leaders ? The answer to the assev
erations of the Abolition press that no terms
of peace save those, that involve dissolution
will bo listened to by the South, is to be fotind
in the simple, practical truth that if such be
the faot—if the South is unalterably pledged
to this position—the war should instantly
cease, as the subjugation of the Sonth is an
impossibility.
But how is it known that reconstruction
upon any terms will be rejected by the Con
federates, and war, with its chances, prefer
red ? The terms now offered by the govern
ment wo know they will not accept The de
clarations made by them that none will be
acceptd are baaed upon the supposition that
the present policy will not and cannot be
changed. Davis so asserts in his message.
One fact is evident. The hostility of the
South toward the Federal Government may
more easily be overcome by offering terms
that preserve their interest and honor, than
by declarations of policy, that, if enforced,
will destroy their interests, and degrade them
before the world.
WhArtoa’a Cavalry Brigade In the late
Attack on Fort J9onel*on.
The following interesting account is an ex
tract from » private letter, with which we
hare been kindly furnished by LL W. T.
Mead, the enrolling officer of Conscripts for
this district, for which we re torn our thanks.
In the late attack on Fort Donelsonj on the
evening of the 3d inst., Wharton s Cavalry
brigade greatly distinguished itself. They
drove a superior force af the enemy before
them for a long distance, and at night occu
pied the South end of Dover. Night, and
want of ammnnition alone, prevented com
plete success. Cols Crews, Harrison, Smith
and Cox, andLt-Cols Malone and iSstcs evinced
the utmost intrepidity and daring. The bat
teries of Lieuta Pue, and Grates, pushed thoir
forces within two hundred yards of the ene
my’s rifle pits, and fired with great effect, un
til their ammunition was exhausted. Men
and horsos suffered soTeroly. Tho Second
Georgia, under Col Crews, with the assistance
of rue's battery, greatly distinguished them
selves, The horses of one of the enemy’s
pieces had been killed within a hundred and
fifty j ards of their rifle pits. Col Crows was
endeavoring to hate it hauled away by hand.
Gen Wharton rode up and told them they
should have the pieoe if they removed it from
under the enemy’s gnns. With a shout every
man sprang forward and brought it away
under all.the concentrated firo of the enomy.
It is a rifle pieoe six pounder, weighing 900
lbs—tho very best for Cavalry. They also
captured eight horses and harness complete.
Private Maverick, of Texas, a member of
Wharton’s scout Company, swam the Cum
berland, freezing as it was, and burnt a ladon
boat. It is understood that Gen. Whatton has
recommended him for promotion. He is a
ybung man of fino education, the son of the
most wealthy gontlemanin the State of Tex
as—the grandson of that Maverick of South
Carolina that first exported Cotton to Eog
land.
The trip was one of great hardship—raio,
snow, and intense cold prevailing ail the time,
which was manfully borne. I cannot speak ac
curately of our loss, but will inform you when
1 know. 1 am not advised of what occurred
where ForreBt’s brigade nude their attack, and
will not, therefore, speak of it. We captured
about ono hundred negroes and a number of pri
soners, estimated from fifty to a hundred. Gen’l
Wheeler was in command. I did not see him,
and therefore do not know what part he played
ia this attack. We are now encamped near Co
lumbia. Our General, Wharton, greatly distin
guished himself for cool intrepidity and daring
always exposed to the fire of the enemy, his voice
was heard in the. midst ol the din ef battle, en
couraging and directing his men. He has justly
earned another laurel, to be wreathed with the
many already won in the la9t few months.—
Where all are brave, 1 wonld not detract from
any, and I mean no disparagement to ojhers
when I say, that, in the kind of service he is in,
he has more qualities for insuring success than
any I know. He was shot through hia clothes
across his breast, making a rent all the way, a
very narrow escape; the same ball slightly
founding Jack Martin, in the arm. He is a lad
ot filteen, living near Lebanon. Tenn.,who can
not he kept at home. Ilia wound is so (light
that ho still docs duty:

The ExriKiNO Enlistments in the Army of
tbk Potomac.—A correspondent of the N. Y.
World thus writes from Burnside’s Army about
the troops there whose terms of enlistment are
soon to expire:
. Officers and 8oldier3 who count the days and
weeks and months of their term of service are
conscious ol what the people are not, viz: that
the whole brilliant army ofaix hundred thousand
men which marched into the field at the out
break ot the rebellion is, on the average, nowon
the last half of its term of service, and.tbat at
least fifty of its regiments (two year’s men,)
will march homeward before the first of next
Junef. • .
We figure eight hundred thousand men—on
paper; but the morning reports of the armies
belie the statement. We speak of otu brigades,
and divisions, and corps, and number their
thousands by the number of regiments; bnt the
men to make them are not there. The only
place where eight hundred ihonsand men can be
found ia on the paroles. And the Government
is to-day paying more men out of the army, in
hospitals, on authorized leave of absence, and on
special or unauthorized detached service, than
it is men in the ranks, doing regular duty. Half
of every regiment is paid on descriptive lists,
procured by men in Hospitals and elsewhere
from their company officers, and forwarded to
their pay-masters. *' . .

The Charleston Blockade—What the Gov
ernment says about it.
Wasiiinoton, Thursday, Feb. 5.—The re
^portB in rogard to the .encounter off Charles
ton .Harbor, being from rebel sources are
doubtloss exaggerated. There has been no in
tervention of the blockade, and no such assunip
lion will be admitted by the Government.
A telogram was reoeived to-day from For
tress'Monroe, saying:.
“,Gen Dix is in receipt of rebel news from
Charleston to the 3d inst., at whioh time that
port was thoroughly blockaded, the Federal
iron-clads lying inside the wooden vessels.
The former were not with the -fleet at the
time of the attack on the 1st instant.
An attack on the city was momentarily ex
pected.

from Admiral Dupont, is hourly expected
Special Dispatch to the Times.
Washington, Thursday, Feb. 5.—There is
reason to believe that the plans of the Navy
Department did not contemplate the begin
ning of the attack of our iron-clads on
Charleston and Savannah for nearly a fort
night yet; but it is surmised in more than
one well-informed qaarter, that the recent
daring operatians of the rebels at Charleston
will bo followed by a swifter retribution than
they expected, and the proclamation that tho
blockade of Charleston was raises will prove
truer than they thought.
Rosenerans’ Report of the late attack
upon Fort Donelsou'.
Murfreesboro, Tenn., Feb. 7,
To Maj. Oen. Hallcck, General-in-Chief, Wash
ington : *
The rebels, Wheeler, Forfest, Wharton and
Woodward, attacked Fort Donbleon yesterday
at 1 o’clock, P. M., with 4,000 men and eight
pieces of artillery. We have .800 men in the
fort, under Col. A. C. Harding. The rebels
charged the fortifications several limes,but wete
repulsed by our artilloy and infantry with great
loss. .The enemy, as usual, before and after
the fight, demanded a surrender, offering to
spare life if accepted. Col. Harding replied
that he was ready for all coisequences. The
enemy’s loss in killed was over one hundred,
and in prisoners 300. The forces under Col.
Lowe, from Fort Henry, are pursuing the rebels
and others have been sent to intercept their re
treat. Our loss is 12 killed and 30 wounded.

ThK Retribution.—The New York Herald
says: Another rebel piratical craft, the steamer
Retribution,is plying her trade in the vicinity of
the Island ot St. Thomas. She has just been
chasing two United States vessels, and boarded
one of them. She came originally from Wil
mington, N. C., about a month or two ago, load
ed with turpentine and cotton, carrying her guns
concealed in the hold.
The description given ol the Retribution is,
that she is a fore-and-aft schooner, of about one
hundred and twenty tons bnrthen. Her arma
ment consists of four heavy guns, with a long
Tom amidships. Her sailing qualities are de
scribed as very fine. Sbe is under tho command
of Captain Parker. Sbe is painted black, and,
it is said, possesses all the gracetul outline and
symmetry so necessary in regard to speed for
one of her calling. While laying at St. Thomas,
discharging her cargo, thosewho saw her spdak
in unqualified praise of thc^gculiarities which
point her out as a swift andfaRcy.craft.
Items from Lincolbdom—The Yankee Army
of tbe Potomac.—The World states that during
the past week Lincoln determined upon calling
McClellan to the command of the Army. Upon
the announcement being made, there was a
great flurry. Chase at once threatened to resign,
as did also the rest of the radical members of
th^ Cabinet. For.this and other reasons, Lin
coin declined to make a change for the present.
Within two weeks, however, it is said there it
scarcely a doubt that the command ot the array
will be again tendered the“Young Napoleon."—
Tbe-World says: ‘
The appointment of Gen. Hooker to the com■
mand ol the army of the Potomac is merely tem
porary.. It was made against the judgment of
the President, and even of tho Secretary of Wars
His soldierly Qualities are not doubted, but his
ability to handle such an immense body of men
is seriously questioned by his friends.
