kes the ground that while the owner of a slave has a right to go into a Territory, and carry his slaves with him, that he cannot hold them one day or hour unless there is a slave code to protect him. He tells you that slavery would not exist a day in South Carolina, or any other State, unless there was a friendly people and friendly legislation. Read the speeches of that giant in intellect, Alexander H. Stephens, of Georgia, and you will find them to the same effect. Read the speeches of Sam Smith, of Tennessee, and of all Southern men, and you will find that they all understood this doctrine then as we understand it now. Mr. Lincoln cannot be made to understand it, however. Down at Jonesboro, he went on to argue that if it be the law that a man has a right to take his slaves into territory of the United States under the Constitution, that then a member of Congress was perjured if he did not vote for a slave code. I ask him whether the decision of the Supreme Court is not binding

vault. In the vault were sight hundred thousand dollars, transferred by Citizens' Bank to the Hopes, (of Amsterdam,) to say interest on bonds. Butler also took possession of the office of the French and Spanish Consuls, in the old Federal Bank, and placed a guard there. The French Consul went on board the steamer and had not returned on Sunday morning. It is said the guard has been removed from the office of the French and Spanish Consuls. He has also seized the Canal Bank and Sam Smith's banking house. He has issued an inflammatory proclamation to incite the poor against the rich, and promised to distribute among the poor a thousand barrels of beef and sugar, captured in New Orleans. He is recruiting in New Orleans, and the poor will soon be starving. The enemy sent a force up to Bonnet Carie, marched through the swamp and destroyed the railroads. Official dispatches, received yesterday, from General Beauregard, states that the scouts from Oceola say that

e was at liberty. The first act on recovering his freedom was to strike his flag, and to draw up an account of the proceedings. The money held by the Consul belonged to the banking house of Hope, of Amsterdam, and had been deposited with the Consul as the property of a subject of Holland. Mr. Couturie himself is a Frenchman. In the meanwhile a detachment of soldiers was stationed at the doors of the Canal Bank, corner of Camp and Gravier streets, and at the private banking house of Sam Smith &Co., next door to the Canal Bank. At about half-past 3 o'clock P. M., a Federal picket was placed under the porch and at the doors of the building situated corner of Magazine and Natchez streets, occupied by the French and Spanish Consuls, with their respective flags floating from it. Soon after the Federal sentinels were withdrawn by order of Gen. Builer. The foreign population, though somewhat excited by this unexpected event, refrained, as we learned, from all untoward or intemperate

ion has not been realized. Mr. Duke, the telegraph operator at the Junction, took a hand car on Sunday evening, and proceeded up as near as possible to Beaver Dam Station, where he learned that the Yankees had taken their departure, after having done as much injury to the railroad as possible during the brief period of their visit. They burned the depot, offices, water tank, and a large quantity of wood, and tore up the track in several places. The telegraph operator at the Station, Mr. Smith, was captured, but we understand that he succeeded in making his escape. They manifested a strong desire to make a prisoner of Col. Fontaine, the President of the rafimed, who resides in the vicinity; but in this they old not succeed. It was doubtless their idea that in effecting the destruction of the railroad they could strike no more fatal blow than to capture a gentleman who has been closely identified with its interests from the first moment of its existence; but they were either to

ales's room making sad work. One of the surgeons on board had his carpet-bag hit by a cannon shot and one of his handkerchiefs was scraped into lint at short notice, I assure you. After getting out of danger, we all felt that we had made a narrow escape with our lives. From New Orleans. The New York Herald's correspondence from New Orleans is lengthy. This is one of the ways in which Butler raises the wind to pay his soldiers: He has taken the $50,000 which he seized from Sam Smith & Co. and applied it to the payment of the soldiers. Besides this he has borrowed $50,000 in specie on his own personal credit, pledging the Government for the debt, and has also borrowed $25,000 of the Adams Express Company, through their popular and efficient agent, A. S. Blake, Esq., and a large amount from another source. With this sum Major Hewitt, who remains here, will be able to pay off the regiments, which, without this arrangement, would have been left unpaid. This action of G
