M:PTi.nKi:u i U kaKUall be daue w ith ibe Blacks! A cotemporurT thus turcibly responds to the inquiry of what shail we do with the blacks : Let them alone. We canuot sacrifice ourselves by the overthrow of the Government for their benefit, nor does " a purer, higher humanity" de mand that we shall degrade ourselves by the admission of their equally. W tial ! What, says a cotemporary, is there to prevent any loyal man from acting with the Democratic party ? Does it propose anything inconsistent with the honor and prosperity of the country " His it any peculiar policy, which an honest man cannot adopt ? Does it ask any thing sare the preservation of the Union, and of those cardinal features ot our institutions which have been alike the embodiment and the safeguard of American liberty ? 3TWe ar ot 'it all surprised that the Grenada Appeal, in a recent editorial, designates Val 1. indin. mi and Ben. Wood as among the only true friends of the South now in the North. The Richmond Whip extends the list by adding Wallace of the -V Y Herald, and also that concern itaell. N. Y. Tribune. Just so. And a few days since the Richmond Enquirer counted Gkkllly and the Tribune among the "true friends of the South" by reminding both of their promise made February 23, 1861, in the following words: "Whenever it shall be clear that the great body of the South era people have become conclusively alienated from the Union and anxious to escape from it, we will do our best to forward their vi'ws." Grlllky now admits that the Southern people are alienated from the Union and desirous of escaDing from it, and being a man of his word he is ot course reudering them all the aid and comfort in his power. Hokacl Greeley, in his audacious and revolutionary letter to the Presideut, takes the President to task because he did not, in his inaugural address, threaten the rebellion with negro emancipation. The coolness of this censure will be in some sort appreciated; when it is called to mind, that, only a little m ie than a month before the President's Inaugural address was delivered, !k. Horace Greelet delivered himself, through the columus ot the New York Tribune, thus : " If the Cotton States shall become satisfied that they can do better out of the Union than in it, we insist on letting them go in peace. The right to secede may be a revolutionary one, but it exists, nevertheless. . . We must ever resist the right of any State to remain in the Union and nullity or defy the laws thereof. To withdraw from the Union is quite another matter, and w henever a considerable section of our Union shall deliberately resolve to go out, we shall resist all coercive measures designed to keep it in. We hope never to live in a Republic whereof one section is pinned to another by bayonets." Had the President followed Mr. Horace Greeley's advice at the time, not a threat of negro emancipation, but something like the foregoing secession ism would have animated the inaugural add re s. Horace Greeley, like Wendell Phillips, "from 1JS43 to ll61, was a disuuiontsl." They and their associates had, during these eighteen years, conspired with British abolition ists to break up the Union. It was their de sign to break it up peaceably, and it was not until the war, which they had done so much to produce, was begim, that the Union became tolerable to them It became tolerable to them be cause they thought they saw in the war an instrumentality tor the destruction of slaverv. Their assaults upon the President are because he has refusel to convert the war into such an instrumentality. Ch'cayo Times. I'aiiiu 'I Clay. We tike the following passage from a letter of the regular Washington correspondent of the New York Evening Post: Washington, August 13, 1862. The speech of Mr Clay at Odd Fellows' Hall, last night, gave sufficient evidence that the state mem of the Evening Post, a day or two since, in reference to him (and which has been doubted in some quarters here) was absolutely correct. Mr. Clay said repeatedly and distinctly in his speech, that he would never draw his sword so ioi, a- slaei y w is protected by the Government. The tone ot his remarks on this head was not very encouraging That I may not be accused of misrepresentation, let me quote a paragraph from the Republican's report of the speech: "Mr. Clay then spoke of our efforts at home. He was not fully satisfied with the drift ot fairs. He believed the Pi evident to be an honest man, and the officers in the main desire to do right; but we are trying to conquer the rebellion with the sword in one hand aud the shackles in the other. We are fighting as though we were anxious that neither side should win. You have been eighteen months carrying on this war on peace principles, and what haveyou gained? I am told by men in high authority that the capital is yet in danger. You allow 4 .' it t .i M H I of good Union men in the South, who are your natural allies, to cut your own throats, because you can not lay aside a sickly prejudice He (Mr. C.) would never use the swonJ while slavery is protected in rebel States. Loud applause and cheers a lady near us indignantly averted that she did not come to hear Abolition speeches Far better acknowledge the 'Confederacy ,' ami let Mr. Davis and his people go by themselves, than attempt to deteat the designs of God in regard to the great question of universal liberty. You must give to every man the same liberty vou desire lor yourself Applause. When J draw a sword it shall be for the liberation and not for the enslavement nf mankind. Wild enthusiasm aud applause He would not have the Constitution disobeyed or altered a line or a letter. He stood now where he always stood, for the Constitution, the Uniou, and the enforcement of the laws." Tbe Louisville Journal thus comments upon the foregoing atrocious sentiments: If this report is correct, aud it is taken from the Washington Republican, iu which it appeared under Mr. Clay's eyes without contradiction from him, Mr. Clay is a conditional Unionist of the most odious description, or, rather, he is a rebel about as good or bad as can be found anywhere in the country. If this is, indeed, Mr. Clay's position, there can be no truth in the rumor t'iai he is to receive an important military command west of the Mississippi. There can be no truth even in the rumor that he is to go back to St. Petersburg as the representative of his country at the Court of Russia. The only place to which a citizen entertaining such views and promulgating them can be sent consistently with a recent order of the War Department is Fort W en or some other military prison of the nation We did hope that Mr. Clay would return from abroad rib higher and more temjierate views of our national troubles ttiaii he carried away with him, or that, at least, he would return no more exirwfeie than he went. We certainly never dreamed that he would not come back an unconditional Union man Yet we fear our expectations touching him have come to nought. He seems to have kept pace. M the banks of the Neva, with the most itt footed and hot headed abolitionist in the Lyceums of New England or toe halls of the (japHnt He has outstripped himseii. He is ahead of Loyuoy. He is neck by neck with Garrison and with Phillifs. W e respectfully submit his position to the at ten Üon of the President. If he is correctly represented, he has clearly deprived himself ot all powers of usefulness to this country in this day of her trial. He is as little able to serve her as lie is willing. ty Thus remark two Republican prints. The same remarks n a Democratic paper would have given them a passport to Fort Warren : The Chicago Tribune says there has been a drain of millions of money and thousands of lives to v the steadily sinking reputation ot General McClellan. The President is the man. of course, whs hau sought to buoy up McClellan at this expense. It opeoe a bright prospect for further en liatmeou and future armies. Milwaukee Sent.

Drafting:. We hope drafting will not be commenced by the Government, in this State, without a real ne

cessity As at present advised, Indiana has abe:t made up her quota of the two calls for 300,000 men each, and will probably have a surplus to spare. Her share would be in the neighborhood of forty thousand in all. and that number must be quite or nearly in tbe field and in camp, under the late levies. If other States should be backward in sending troops into the field, it must be seen to that Indiana does ot have to make up that deficiency, or take more b irthens on her than what rightfully belongs U her. We hope to see her do all that fairness tui duty requires of her people, but we should regtet if the State authorities subject her to any burdens not properly her own. Let all the States furnish their quota by volunteering, and, in default of that, let the draft be applied to the delinquent State, and to no others. Indiana, Illinois and Ohio are, we hope, nearly out of the ring where delinquent States do congregate. We feel quite confident that Indiana occupies this position. If she does not, all this goes for nothing. Indiana is an agricultural State, and has vast interests in the productions of the soil. Many sections of the country are already nearly stripped of farm labor, and seeding time is now upon us. If the manufacturing States run short of volunteers, let the spindles stop and the shops close, aud Dut the draft in motion upon them. It is better to stop the spindles aud loom than the plow and the harrow. At any rate, give them all a fair chance, and let them go or stop, just as each State fills up her quota. It is all that fair ness requires, and this must be looked to. We trust the State authorities are are awuke to this subject. M Knowledge of Parties. I am not to dictate a course for others to pursue in this crisis. But I must say for myself that neither as a public officer, nor as a citizen, can I know with favor or disfavor parties among the supporters of the Unitel States, any more than I can make a distinction between tactions which unite in aiding the rebellion. So discourses Mr. Secretary Seward. Who but political opponents have been arrested by him, while his political friends, for similar offenses, pass unrebuked? Who but its political friends receive civil appointments under this Administration? We do not complain ot this, be cause it is a received rule of action that "to the victors belong the spoils;" but we do complain of these professions of no party ism when only partisans are appointed to office. The same facts will apply in this State. Our Governor reiterates in eveiy speech that he has no knowledge of parties. But what evidence o his sincerity ? In the selection of commissioners to enroll the militia was there a single Democrat named ? And so of all his civil appointments. It is high time that these hypocritical professions of no partyism should cease, for they are too glaringly false to deceive the most simple. In legislation or appaintmeuts, no administration or party in power was ever more thoroughly partisan. The President's Position. There are many sentiments in the letter of Mr. Lincoln to Horace Greeley that must command the cordial approval of every good citizen He says, "I would save the Union " Certainly this is the desire of all who love the Union and the Constitution. And how? Mr. Lincoln says: "I would save it in the shortest way under the Constitution." This sentiment is right, and is an assurance to the country that the President honestly intends to adhere to his constitutional obligations. His purpose, as expressed, is to pre serve, not destroy, the Constitution. And then follows the following excellent sentiment: "The sooner the national authority can be restored, the nearer the Union will be the Union as it was." Certainly those are words of practical wisdom. The longer the war is delayed the more danger of a change of the Government from the great freedom we have enjoyed to a central despotism. "The Union as it was" is certainly the earnest hope of every good citizen and for which he would earnestly labor. The Democratic party is neither a slavery party nor an anti slavery party. It is a constitutional party. It therefore leaves the question ot slave ry with the States, as the Constitution leaves it It approves most heartily the resolution almost unanimously adopted by the present Congress, July 22, 1861, that the war is not waged to interfere with the rights or institutions of the several States, but simply to restore the national authority. In regard to slavery. We do not believe that iLs destruction is necessary to save the Union. Its violent abolition, in our opinion would be doing a great injury to the neuro race aud incalculable mischief to the country. It is the aim of eyery wise government to preserve, encourage, and tter its indus trial interests. Its productive labor is the source of its power and wealth. What good then in letting loose a population who will not labor unless by force, as under the present sys tern 1 What good iu making a barren waste, as the emancipation of the negro would do, a por tion of the country which has largely added to the national resources and wealth by its system of industry ? The President says his " present object is to save the Union, and not either to save or destroy slavery." And his policy is to " save it iu the shortest way under the Constitution." These sentiments are right. The first object with all good citizens is to save the Union quoting the language of the President, " the Union as it was." To that end every effort should be directed, without resort to barbarous warfare or a disregard of constitutional rights. Such seems to be the purpose of the President. If left to himself we believe he will prosecute the war with the utmost vigor for the accomplishment of those ends. He should be cordially sustained in so doing. He will be by all who love the Union and the Constitution by all except the Abolitionists"who would not save the Union unless they could at the fame time destroy slavery," and the secessionists whose only purpose is to destroy the Uu ion. Let slavery take care of itself. Proclamations and Congressional enactments can not disturb it. It it is the only obstacle to saving the Union, it will disappear with the advance of our armies. To that result we would leave it. Laporte Democrat. This is the title of a new Democratic paper, just started at Laporte, Platt McDonalo, editor and proprietor. The first number presents the highest evidence that Mr. McDonald is both a good mechanic ami an able ; editor. Its politics, the editor expresses it. " will be thoroughly Democratic." The Democ racy of Laporte should give the enterprise a gen erous support. tW The Democracy of the counties of Adams, Jay and Wells, met in senatorial conven tioual, at Newrilke, on the 16th inst., and nominted Grorok S. Brown, E-q , of Wells, as their candidate for State Senator. Mr. Baow.s, if elected, will faithfully represent the wishes of his constituents. Putnam Cotjiitt. A mass meeting of the De mocracy of Putnam county will be held at Green castle, on Monday, the 1st day of September. Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks, Joseph E. McDonald of Indianapolis, and Judge Clay pool of Terre Haute, have been invited and are expected to attend.

Fountain County Convention. On last Saturday, the 23d inst , the largest and most enthusiastic Convention ever held in the Wabash Valley was held at Coviugton, to nominate candidates for the different comity offices. The solid men of tue country wete there, in their might, with their wives and daughters, to the number of at least 10,000 The large and beautiful grounds of the Agricultural Society was a solid moss of living people, all intent ou nominating a good ticket, and hearing the speakers. The best order prevailed, and the earnestness of the mass evinced a determination to do their part at the approaching election in the settlement of our national difficulties at the ballot box. The meeting was organized by electing Joseph Ristine as President, and J. H. Spence and J. C. Hole as Secretaries. The following ticket was then nominated: For Representative Solomon Hetheld.

That we tender our heartfelt thanks to our fallant troops, and that the noble conduct of the ndiaua soldiers, on every battle field, where victory has perched upon the national banner, has filled the people of this county with the highest gratitude to her gallant sons ; and that we send our best wishes to the many noble sons of "Old Fountain," who, in common with the gallant troops from other parts of the State.have bravely entered the contest for the maintenance of the Constitution and the Union. Alter the adoption of the above resolutions, the following was presented by James W. King, and unanimously adopted : 4. That we recommend T. W. Davidson, of Coviugton, to our sister counties of the 8th judicial circuit, as a fit and proper candidate for the office ot prosecuting attorney for said district. The business of the meeting being over, Hon. T. A. Hendricks made a speech of an hour and a half, that was listened to with the greatest interest by all that could crowd within hearing distance of the stand. He discussed all the great interests now before the country, in his usual happy style, and it had a happy effect upon his hearers. After Mr. Hendricks concluded. Judge Peitit made a speech of over an hour, when the crowd dispersed in good order, feeling that it was good for them to be there. Fountain county is full of whole souled, open-beared men, that are Democrats through and through, and beautiful Democratic women. Fountain will make a good return at the approaching election.

The following County ticket was nominated all the present incumbents: For Sheriff' Matt Hepner. For Surveyor John P. Kelly. Fcr Commissioner Eli Brown. A resolution was unanimously adopted indorsing tiie resolutions of the 8th of January Con vention, ol the 30th of July Convention, and of the Congressional Convention at Winnemac. The business of the County Convention having been transacted it was adjourned, when a Representative Mass Convention, composed of the Democracy of Starke and Marshall counties was at once organized by selecting the same Ciiairmaii aud Secretary, who had officiated at the con entioii just adjourned. M. A 0 Packard, Esq., was then unanimously nominated, by acclamation, for re election to the office of Repiesentative iu the State Legislature, I for the district composed ot the counties ot I Starke and Marshall.

The Democracy of this county met in convention, on August 1 61I1 , to nominate candidates for county officers. The following resolutions were adopted : Resolved, That we will sustain the President in an energetic and constitutional prosecution ot this war for the putting down of the rebellion ; and that we approve of his position in ret using to arm the negroes. Resolved, That we believe it our duty to ad heie to the time honored principles of the Demo cratic party, and in it and its influences, to work together with all good loyal and conservative men, for the restoration of harmony and the per petuity of this government. Risolved, That we approve of and endorse the Crittenden resolutions adopted by the conservative members of Congress on the 28th day of June, lffi-2.

Hendricks Count)" Democratic vention. ConDanville, Hendricks Co., Ind iidncks Co., Ind Aug. 23, 1862. The Democratic Convention met at Court house, and organized by electing Judge Marvin as President, Doyle as Vice President, J. H. Pierson as Secretary, and Win C. Nelson as Assistant Secretary. The meeting was then addressed by Judge Marvin. The Democracy, he said, had always been moused ot being Secessionists, but it was false. He had atvajfl acted with the Whig party, but, since the death ot Clay, had acted with the Democratic parly. Who are the traitors? Not the Democrats. He did not seek the present position, but was not afraid to meet the responsibility. We have the rigln, under the Constitution, to meet and discuss all proper questions. Secession originated with the South. Calhoun said, that when the General Government trampled on the rights of a State, the State had a right to secede or the right of revolution. The present rebellion is not in accordance with Calhoun's views, but are hellish iew s. He had found no Democrat who was willing to rise up in rebellion against the Government. We are fighting lor the Constitution and .Laws of the land. While the committee were out, the Convention was ably and patriotically addressed by Hon. Jos. E. McDonald and Mr Conduitl. The Committee appointed to select candidates, reported a- follows: For Representative Tilberry Reed. For Treasurer J. W. Parker, of Brown. For Recorder Henry Marvin, of Center.

The Ifiack Kare. The history of the world is recorded on the surlace of the globe in the works of men from generation to generation and age to age We gather these histories in books, and so trace the successive periods ol civilization and barbarism, the rise and tall of nations, the occupation of countries in alternate centuries by the arts and sciences, or by the wild beasts and the water fowl. But in recording the progress of the human race, it is a melancholy fact that one large portion of the race has no part in the history of that progress, has no history of advancing cixilization for itself. We trace the existence of the black race, as a distinct people, to a very early period. Some persons imagine that the ancient Egyptians were negroes. This notion has gained ground from the persistent falsification of history by abolitionists. We know more of the ancient Egyptians, in regard to form and feature than of any other ancient people, from the thousands of cotemporary paintings which rem tin on their monuments. The negro is found on the Egyptian monuments, but always as a slave The Egyptian is a very different tiersonage We learn from these monu menis that so long ago as the period ot Rameses II., and tierhaps much earlier, nearly or quite B C. 1500, the neuro race was tound as a distinct type, wholly different from the white nice, having the dark complexion, thk-k lips, and wooly head as now, and then as now appearing among the other races only as a servant. No record in Hgypt assigns the black man any higher position than this, nor is he ever representel even among the upper servants, who appear to have been admitted to confidential relations with their masters. At this period, therefore, it is evident that at least some ptrts of Africa were in the occupation of the negro race, and from this time we may commence a view of the history of the two races, down to the present date. How widely dillerent the history ! In Africa itself, the one race build ing the gorgeous wfeirks of Egyptian splendor, elaborating a civilisation whose relics remain to to this day for the astonishment ot man, the other race relapsing, even on the upper waters of the same great river, into a low barbarism out ot which they have never emergel. The white race in every part of tiie world advanced in all that we call refinement and civilization. One who desires to trace this advance might do it well by stu lying the history of language, the invention ol the alphabet and written language iu general, the improvements of papyrus, parchment and paper, the new forms of let ters, and finally the printing press and modem books and newspapers. But a sweeping glance over the world will suffice to show what we mean. In Asia, the remains of ancient glory abundantly show the works ol various branches of the Caucasian race. In Europe, we have tiie highest evidences of their early and progressive civilization as well as of their reformation after relapses into barbarism. In cold or in warm climates, under Governments of any and every form, by the sea, or in theinterioi of the continents, thev built cities, temples, churches, palaces, they carved statute-1, they invented arts, the investi gated the secrets of nature and elaborated the grand sum ol human knowledge which the art of printing has finally gathered into thousands of books. Wherever the white race wandered, tlieie civilization seems to have attended their efforts at sell-culture and rewarded their attempts at im provement. Even in China, Japan and the wilds of Hindustan tune improved the race, and without Christianity, without any direct guidance from superior intelligence, man worked out tor h'tn elt a path to a certain degree of knowledge, refinement, civilization. If it be said that the race was not originally barbarous, that the immediate descendants of Noah were possessed of the arts and sciences known before the flood, still the truth is plain tint the white race preserved the benefice thus received, and when, in the coarse of lime, as in the heart of Asia, and throughout Europe, they relapsed into barbarism, there was still a recuperative power which brought them up out of that state and restored them always and everywhere to a civilized grade. It is vain to charge this to c im ate. In all climates the truth remains the same, and the hottest regions of India give abundant evidence ot the wonderful advances made by men, not of negro blood, iu art sciences, philosophy and general civilization and .etinement. In contrast with all this, the history of the black race is profoundly sad. We know that three thousand years ago this race existed in Africa. We know that that is a country capable of everything that man needs for comfort or luxury. It has great rivers, mountains and vallevs, rich soil and seas that wash its shores, which would carry an adventurous man to any portion ot the world. It had within it the richest sources of commerce, mines of gold and jewels, birds of gorgeous plumage, spices and balms lor the luxurv or the wants of mankind. It stretch eu away into temperate regions, and hud every variety of climate and soil. Alas for Africa, that in the wisdom of God it was given to be the abode of the black race. Wherever the other race entered it and gained foothold, it was redeemed from barbarism. Egypt was the mother of European wisdom and civilization. The Peiitapolis was rich in temples ami palaces, and glorious works of art Here and there in the northern part of the interior, adventurous travelers like Dr. Barth, have found the splendid re mains of Italian art, marking the footsteps of the Roman. But from the day the black man pos sessed the soil he has never advanced tine step in civilization, never built a hut more convenient than his forefathers built thousands of years ago, never invented a written language, net er made a coin, never hewn a statue or a column, never etected a temple, never learnec that the world moved around, never constructed a ship, or even a rude bark, to navigate the great rivers of Africa. In short, the race, if it possessed the arts which the other descendants of N oah Hissesed in the earliest periods, lost them all. i elapsed into barbarism, and for thousands of years has never made one step in advance, but steadily plunged deeper and deeper into the lowest forms of degradation. In Asia, the Hindoo temples and palaces date from remote ages, and the Chinese civilization seeks its origin iu the earliest years. In Europe, Greece mid Italy attest the earliest advance of man, and England, Germany, Russia and France are all the growth of civilization from barbarian origin. In America, a country more thinly peopled than any other, and probably inhabited at a very late dab , grand relics of art attest the existence of a civilization which has do apparent origin in European or Asian teach mg. In Africa, no man finds one solitary memorial on which to found a theory that the

negro race was there ever other than now, a race of barbarians. There is no alternation of civilization and barbarism in the history of Africa. It is one long, barbaric stagnation. We do not pause to argue from all this an inferiority of race. We state the great truths of history, and leave others to form ou these facts such theories as they may. But out of it we propose to derive a lesson of good for the black man. He has had in Africa tor thousands of years every opportunity which the white race has possessed, but he has failed to improve them. It may be that the wisdom of God designed the system of American slavery to bring million of blacks into contact for some generations with the white, and thus introduce new elements into their character. The laws of Nature, which are the laws of God, show that amalgamation with the white rite is impossible. It is apparently not intended that the two races should ever become one again. But it is our duty to try the experiment faithfully of giving this" portion of the race, thus civilized and in a measure refined, the opportunity ol attempting now, in some country, the experiment of inde pendent civilization. If out of a colonization plan like that of Mr Lincoln should grow a civilized and refined nation, which in turn would extend its intlueuces back into Africa, or which in course of time would invite the Africans to join it, while the white race takes possession of that country and brings its vast resources into the world's uses, then it would be apparent to future generations of men that American slavery was not after all so dark a spot in history as some are disposed now to regard it. Let no man say it is too great a thought to be realized. We are all working out the grand designs of God. Our time on earth is brief, and we may well call our powers small. But great changes in the destiny of the human race proceed from small beginnings. We shall not live to see the effects r P what we do on earth. The enthusiasm ot the Genoese sailor gave America to the world, and changed the future of hundreds of millions of men. We ought now to work as if we were working for the ages to come, and not for the few years that we shall see the result of our labors. Our footsteps on the earth echo through centu ries of human existence, our voices will ripple the waves of air among the remotest generations of men. Let us not despair of great results from good works well begun iu our time. N. Y. Jour. Comtncrce.

When the representatives of all other pipers knew equally well, but were restrained from mentioning, the movements of Geu. McClellan, the New York papers could not resist showing the world how much they were in advance of all cotemporaries, by publishing dailyaccounts of the movement, commencing almost with the very day that McCiellan's advance struck their tents. The result of this has been that the authorities have ordered that no news whatever shall hete.egraphed which has the slightest relation to war movements. If to day we should learn that Richmond were taken, Jeff Davis captured, and the whole Confederacy broken into fragments, we could not give you the intelligence. Neither the movements of the rebels nor of our own tiootis in short, not a word relative to war movements ot any kind can be tent by telegraph. And thus has ended the enterprising operations of our New York cotemporaries. For the selfish purpose of netting abroad, they liae thrown the w hole machinery ol news conveyance into conlu sion. Most lucky was it that it was the NewYork Tribune and Times which thus outrage ously violated a stringent order. Had the Cbicago Times published one tenth of the information which those two papers daily received from Fortress Monroe, its editors ere this would have been in the Old Capitol Prison, aud tiie paper itself squelched in due form. Democratic treason and Democratic violations of the Articles of War are widely diffent things from the same acts when performed by Abolitioi ism; one sends its supjorters to Alton or Fort Lafayette, the other is passed over in silence. As there is nothing in the order to prevent writing. I suppose I may ggje the late movements of our armies. Ami here I may say that, alter all the trouble made about publishing the movements of McClellan, it was not only know n here from its beginning and all over the North, but at Richmond. A Richmond paper dated as far back as Julv 31st, states that "The movement toward Petersburg by the Federals, is a mere feint to cover their retreat," and that 'General McClellan is about to abandon James river and reinforce Pope." All our movements are perfectly well known by the enemy, generally long before they are known or understood by the loyal press; hence the absurdity of the present system of censorship. It is now understood that General Pope's advance toward Gordonsville was to attract the attention of the rebels while M Clellan made good his change of base from James river. This he accomplished most successfully by inviting an attack, which, however, lacked but little of being a serious tjtiiure, lor, the rebels falling unhi him before exacted, they came near annihilating the column under Banks before the others could get to its support. Repulsed, Jackson withdrew" and waited for reinforcements before renewing his efforts. Both c.ime, and on Wednesd iy last, with I formidable force, he suddenly left, no one whither. Poe, however, was wide awake, and soon detected in the movements of the rebels an attempt to flank him. This must be avoided, and there only re in lined one way to fall back. Every step he retreated brought him nearer his base ot oeralions nearer home, friends, and reinforcements; .vlnle every step the enemy followed him increas ed their difficulties as it diminished his And soat midnight hecommenced falling back, and in good order, and with no colisitiei able loss he has put the Rappahannock between himself and tha foe. He has stopped at Warrenton, and, if he fall back lurcher, he will do it under the pressure of rebel bayonets The grant strategical movement which led him to the Rapidall has accomplished all that was desired, and he has now fallen back as far as safety requires. Here, if the enemy attacks him. they will get a fight; il they do not take the initiative, there will probably be no battle for the next six weeks. The reliefs have all their forces in the field ; they are sagacious, and. knowing this to be their last opportunity, they may precipitate their mad dened legions upon our armies, hoping by sheer numbers to overjKwer us, and atone blow to win Washington and their recognition. It is their last chance, tor now our numbers are less than they will be again during the war; theirs are greater, and each day a-Jds thousands to our strength; each hour they grow weaker. Thus it is that now is their only opportunity ; the moment is present in w hich they may be successful. Another week, and the sturdy thousands Of the North will have swollen our forces to a size that will render them resistless as Niagara. The rebel Generals are far seeing, and, being aware of those facts, they may give us battle. If thev do. the bloodiest page of this war's history will be while compared to that which will record the event. If they succeed in defeating in the field the combined armies of Virginia and the Potomac, even if they capture both, their progress in the capture of Washington v. II scarcely have commenced. Before them will still lie the defences of the city, defences the most formidable in the world. defences which will resist the hordes of Secesia for half a century. The next week may see our armies defeited and Washington threatened. If not done then, it never will l. But I do not anticipate any such result. Without giving the actual number of our forces, I may say that with the choice of pos. tion, they are strong enough to render a de: feat trom any force, however large, a matter of the remotest possibility. I only mean to siv, not that the rebels can defeat us if they make an attack, but that they can come nearer it now than they ever can hereafter. Let the people of the loyal Stales rest easy; there is yet a God in Israel. As I telegraphed you, Secretary Welles de cliued to comply with the request to put some light gunboats on the Ohio river. His reasons were that some iron clads are already in process of construction for Western waters, and further more that Kentucky might feel aggrieved by thus patrolling her borders. I presume that the principal reason why the committee was unsuccessful arose from the tact that they a ere in too great a hurry. They not only offered to furnish the money for the enterprise, but to have half the ticei in operation withiu twenty days. Where is red tapeism to find a precedent for any such unseemingly haste? To get up a gunboat, or anything else properly, certain formalities must be observed; precedents must be sought for and followed; six months at least must elapse before a thing of the sort should be undertaken. Our live Western men should have known better tnan to shock the staid Secretary with a proposi

tion to launch a fleet of gunboats in twenty days. Have these gentlemen no respect for antiquity, for the good old stag coach progress of our grandfathers? Let the West seud older men here, and let their representatives ask the Government to furnish the same for tbe campaign of 1864, and they will get it.

Hon. John !S. Carlile. A certain school of politicians measure a man's loyalty by a partv standard. Thev have come ! to the conclusion that Carlile, of Virginia is a rebel and not to be trusted because he went to Indiana Wills and therp dpitniiticpd with euer v ' 1 r the party schemes that a faction are striving, bydirect and indirect means, to foist upon the country. The world will judge between them and Carlile. They are against this mbflUoa because it is a rebellion against their party domination. The'r party pride is mortally offended at it. For part; 's sake they are Union men. It would be extraordinary if they did not support a President of their own selection in his efforts to put down a rebellion directed especially at them and their party. Carlile, ou the contrary, was a member of the Convention, where he stood like a hero lor the Union, iu pite of party and sectional prejudice. Overruled by the Convention, he went home and raised the old standard in defiance ol the conspiracy in his State. Not only did he oppose seces sion and disunion, but he defied the revolutionary furor of his State, and staked his political for tunes and even his life upon the issue. He has supported an Administration to which he was ut terly opposed, and whose partv programme he I despised, in putting down this rebellion. Iu his zeal tor the Union and the supremacy of the Constitution and the laws, he has not faltered. Iu this patriotic cause he resisted the temper of his own section anil sacrificed his party teeiincs upon the altar of Iiis country. And he not a Union man! Demagogues, who have up to this time shown iu all their acts only u zeal lor party, call Carlile a traitor! Carlile has earned the right to speak for the country without being suspected. - He is an infin itely better Union man than his libelers, and history will so write him down. He was faithful amongst the faithless. He stemmed the tide whilst his slanderers floated with it. When they give such proofs o! fidelity as he has given, they will have earned the tight to criticise other people, and the country will listen to them with re spect at least, il not with approbation. When tried, as he has been, they will be able to appre ciate what patriotism is. As it is, we cannot know where they would have stood if this rebellion had been gotton upiu their section against ours, and they had been called upon to sacrifice their party prejudices to save the country. History tells us of a rebellion in their section against what they called tiie Vir ginia Government, and the patriots then weie tew and far between. Change the the names, and the slang of New England reliels iu 1 f 1 -1 is now repeated in the South. There are a few in New England, noble ex -eptiotis, who, like Carlile, de nouiiced the treason of their owi: party and sec tion; but they were comparatively few, and history has done them justice, as it will do justice to Carliic Louisville Dinner at. The Latent from Kentucky and Tennesee. In yesteid vy's issue we stated that a 1 rge force of rebels were menacing Cumberland Gap on tiie so ltd side, threatening Gen. G. W Morgan's di vision with battle for the possession of the Gap. The number of the enemy is computed to be 75,000, in command of Generals Floxd and Kirby Smith, while at Chattanooga there is a re.-erve of SOjMM, vnder General Braug, to hold in check General Buell, who is niaiching up with his entire division to confront General Bragu, who is believed to be moving toward Kentucky or for Nashvilie. Buell and his nriny passed through Dechen! . forty miles north west of Chattanooga, on Saturday, and on Monday weie within ten miies of the enemy. As communication with N i 'ivüle is cut off by railroad and the river, and the troops around Nash vilie are subsis ting on hall rations, the trausporia ion of supplies to Buell's I forces will cause considerable anxiety, as hitherto thev were forwarded eia Memphis. The indications are that an immediate engage ment will take place between Buell and Bragg and the forces on the other side of the Gap, and Gen. G. W. Morgan. Scott's army iu trout of the Gap is being reinforce"!; hut Gen. Wright, who is in Frankfort controlling in person all Fed eral movements, will undoubtedly . through Gen Nelson, drive Scott out of the State, and ojien up the road between Lexington and the Gan. Manydays can not elapse without a formidable retre.it of the enemy from Kentucky and East Ten nes sec or a terrible battle. The latter is confidently expected, and with a success to our arms that always follows engagements in which the Western troops are participants, stirring inteirljtciiee from those quarters may be looked for during the present week Cincinnati Enquirer. t'Srtvs !oiiring In. The levees yesterday were so dark with ne groes that pedestrians tound it difficult to peregrinate without lanterns. Wc never before saw just such a lot of darkies in our lite. Uncle Toms, Aunt Chloes and Topsys were abundant What this eternal raft of negroes will find to do here, is more than we can foretell. The Government may find employment for a small per cent, of them, but the gre iter portion must either starve or become ullit paapora. Our citizens look upon the swelling multitudes of negroes among them with ajuet sen-e of alarm. What shall be done with them? is a question that suggests itself to every mind, but no one can solve the question. If hundreds and hundredwere not vet to be oured in upon us the number here could soon be distribute 1 throughout the country and furnished employment by farm ersaml ganlners. But, looking upon this as the entrepot for the thousands who may be freed in the South as a sort of rendezvous for them until they cau see opportunities to do better else where ne can not dispel from our mind the feir that not only this new population will suffer, but that their presence will so affect the laboring da of white men that the pinch of want will become general. We sincerely hope that time will prove these fears to be groundless, but it is hoping al most against hope. Cairo Gazette. Turc'nin has been making a speech in Chicago, since his most righteous dismissal trom the service, abu-ing Knell and exalting himself. His abolition audience was immensely tickled. Turchin sanl he treated the rebels a little roughly and thev shouted. He means, not that he and his ruffians treated men in arms roughly. He treated private, MMMd men roughly, burned up and destroyed property, insulted and abused the hatplaw. with lutrcuard to age or sex. It is over conduct of that sort that these creatures howl with ecstacy. Turchin has been tried oy his peers and dismissed from the service, aud his regiment has been sent in disgrace to the rear. We have heard tacts respecting this man and his command. Their conduct would make any civilized audience blush. The whole story will be told, and then the whole country will appr -ve the conduct of Buell toward Turchin and his regiment. Louisrille Democrat OYSTERS. CELEB Fi -A.
