and roots all his days, as his father did before him, and give him — half worth and half root as he is — the bill of fare of the Tremont House or him to select dishes for his dinner. Take a Casper Hauser, and the prisoner of half a century in the Bastile, and talk to them of freedom and it would be the same. Let us, then, exercise our reason a minute: First, then, these slaves are Africans, and not Europeans or Indians. They have no such love of freedom in their nature. If the Anglo-Saxon was a slave, he would leap to arms on the first occasion; if the North American Indian was a slave, he would die in all the solemn grandeur and dignity of the indian; if the African is a slave, he loves his master and clinch to him, for in his very nature — the nature that God gave — he feels dependence — and he looks up to the white man, and loves the white man. He is full of affection, full of reverence and respect, and seldom rises in revenge. We thought when the war broke out that al

" Now, if he declares that all slaves shall be free in twenty days, what will they say but.--"Let him come and free them!" It would amount to Mr. Lincoln would still be in Washington and Mr. Davis would still be in Richmond, and white men would be free, and black men slaves as before. But then the negroes would and do great things! How long shall we fool ourselves about these negroes? We talk of their rebelling, acting thinking, fighting, as we would if they were so many whites realizing the difference between freedom and slavery, and capable of going from slavery to freedom as we would from a prison to the open air.

The Newburyport (Mass.) Herald (Republican) has an article, written before the issue of Lincoln's proclamation, on the propriety of issuing such a document and its probable effect. It says: that objection to such a same extent we could with out. A proclamation! a proclamation is the cry, Mr. Lincoln tried one proclamation on his first coming into power.

If he had succeeded on Wednesday in turning their right flank, he could posrapid movements, even under most embarrassing circumstances, we think it altogether probable that they will succeed in reaching their supplies at Winchester.

Owing to the distance the enemy would be compellee requisitions made on them from Suffolk. On Thursday morning, at an early hour, Major-General John A. Dix wishing to satisfy himself in relation to affairs at Suffolk, left Fortress Monroe on At this place Captain Ludlow had a special train in waiting to take the General to Suffolk. General Dix was accompanied by his aide-de-camp, Lieut. John A. Garlins; Lieut. F. U. Farqebar, of the EnWorrall, Superintendent of the Roanoke and Neaboard Railroad, and several others. As soon as General Dix arrived at Suffolk, he immediately rode around to the different places where there seemed thebility to hold Suffolk. On the contrary, the rebels may fear more from us of an advance. Major General Dix, had a true soldier, did not trust to reports, but was to see and judge as himself. Whe

tents is worth six or seven cents per pound, and any quantity of this can be obtained down there. A curious circumstance about this camp is — that but very few graves can be seen. Whether the burying ground is as yet undiscovered by visitors, or whether the dead were carried away, is unknown to us — but there can be no denying the fact, that many an invading Yankee yielded up the ghost at Berkeley and Westover. Yankee Fright at A letter to the New York Herald says that on the 17th ult., General Ferry, commanding at Suffolk, received intelligence from scouts and others that the enemy in strong force had crossed Blackwater, and was then and there engaged in erecting a bridge across that sheet of water, for the purpose of transporting artillery and cavalry over, and to attack Suffolk that night. The letter adds: As soon as General Ferry had been informed of these facts he immediately summoned his field officers to hold a council of war. Every precaution necessary to

and some of them peculiarly significant in their bearing upon the present volcanic condition of affairs in the United States. Projected attack on Mobile. All the letters from the Southern coast to the Northern papers agree that a bombardment of Mobile has been determined on. A letter to the New York Times, from the fleet near New Orleans, says: Next to Richmond Mobile is the most essential part to the vitality of the rebellion. With that for our stronghold instead of theirs Montgomery on the Alabama river, and Tuscaloosa on the Tombigbee, might soon be reached by our forces, giving us possession of the railroad system between the Eastern and Western States of rebeldom. This would cut their country in two more disastrously than the entire control of the Mississippi could effect it. The reported means of repelling an attack on Mobile would be hardly credited, were it not that in the engagement below New Orleans their contrivances for defence were found to be quite

stripped already of means to support an army. They have, however, saved all their transportation, and moved across the Potomac with a degree of order and celerity which does not indicate serious demoralization — and as they are accustomed to rapid movements, even under most embarrassing circumstances, we think it altogether probable that they will succeed in reaching their supplies at Winchester. Gen. McClellan is probably not in condition to make a very rapid or prolonged pursuit, and Gen. Halleck has lost so much time that he can scarcely hope to intercept the main body of the rebels. On Thursday a reconnaissance was sent to Thoroughfare Gap, and made the discovery that the path to the rebel rear was unobstructed. But we have had no information that any advantage was taken of this discovery, or that any started over the route thus disclosed. Gen. McClellan has it in his power, however, to the rebels very serious injury, if he is rapidly, and if with their rear guard do no
