OABDOZO ATLANTA, GEORGIA: WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1863. 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.— Rich. Ditp., llr*. t 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. - ' From the Chicago Tunss. 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: OBITUARY.

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. A dispatch boat, with an offioial account 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. fSigned] W. S. Rosencraz, Maj. Gen. Commanding. 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.
