resolve to restore the Union on the only basis on which, after what has occurred, a restoration seems to be possible, namely the establishment of free institutions and a free system of society in all the component parts. In commenting on the above the New York Express uses the following language: We answer, in the first place, by asking what right — war right or constitutional right — has the Government to make war upon loyal States like Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland, Delaware, Tennessee in part, Virginia in part, or upon loyal slaveholders or slaveholding States anywhere! The right does not exist, either according to the laws of war or the Constitution of the United States, which President, Judges, Cabinet, Ministers, Congressmen, and all civilians have, before Heaven, sworn to support and obey. The power does not exist, all but fanatics must admit, on the part of the Federal Government to abolish slavery in a single State acknowledging the Union. The President know
out of the national funds those who were compelled to sell under the market price. We hardly think, however, that Gen. Butler has added insult to injury by offering to the bakers of New Orleans Federal scrip to cover their losses. Of Mr. Chase's Treasury notes, it is probable that they have already obtained more than they desire. A most determined attempt has been made to seize Vicksburg. It has been subjected to a bombardment by the Federal gunboats for upwards of ten days, but without any other effect than that of firing the city in several places. In Kentucky and Tennessee the "rebellion" has broken out afresh, nor does it seem that any very active measures have been taken by the Federal armies stationed on those States to check its further progress. Altogether, considering the ill success or inactivity of the Northern armies in the field, and the rapid depreciation of the Federal paper, we are not surprised at hearing that the excitement in Wall street continues unabated.
Movements of the Yankees in Tennessee. Knoxville, August 13. --A prisoner from Nashville via Huntsville and Stephenson, reports that the roads are lined with Federal troops and all the bridges strongly fortified. Everything outside of Huntsville is a scene of desolation — houses destroyed and sacked and fields laid waste. Generals Buell and Rossean have 20,000 men in the vicinity of Huntsville. Five hundred negroes are entrenching the north side of Huntsville. Four hundred negroes and a large force of soldiers are fortifying Stephenson. The Yankees have rebuilt the bridges and restored the broken track on the railroad from Nashville to Huntsville and Bridgeport.
