vain for him to attempt to support a mere political cry by endeavoring to persuade the people of this country that his motive for carrying on the war was to put down slavery, and that upon that ground he was entitled to their sympathies. Mr. Lincoln, in his proclamation, had talked of giving freedom to the whole of the slaves, and of their being sent away to some district of the far West, where the foot of civilized man had never trod; but when offered freedom on these terms the blacks ha people in the Southern States--but to the blacks themselves. This had been found to be the case. He was surprised to find that some gentlemen, and especially clergymen, had stated that the proclamation of emancipation from slavery by President Lincoln was a humane act. Humane to whom? It could not be humane to the slaves, who were not prepared for freedom, and it certainly would not be humane to the five or six millions of white people in the Southern States, because the great object an

Lincoln's last proclamation. There was a time when the proclamations of Lincoln for more men had something alarming in them for the people of the Confederate States. That time has past. They Lincoln for more men had something alarming in them for the people of the Confederate States. That time has past. They are now always received with pleasure, because they are regarded as so many acknowledgments of defeat, and by consequence so many evidences of weakness. After every Confederate victory we hear of th for. The present call, notwithstanding the heavy premium offered, is not likely to be more so. Lincoln began the war with volunteers. They were killed off so rapidly that each succeeding call yield was no work for them to do, and they volunteered to escape starvation. The declaration of Lincoln that his object is to "reinforce our victorious armies in the field," is ludicrous enough in viother nation, is the last to be cheated into danger by any such clap-trap declamation. Indeed, Lincoln has done his worst. He can never, hereafter, do us as much harm as he has done heretofore. We

Execution of Dr. Wright. --A Federal surgeon, who arrived at City Point Saturday on the flag of truce boat, brought the announcement of the execution of Dr. David Minton Wright, by order of Abraham Lincoln, at Norfolk, on Friday last. It will be recollected that Dr. Wright killed a Federal Lieutenant of a negro company who had ordered three of his negroes to arrest him for expressing his indignation at the company being marched through the streets of Norfolk. The Petersburg Express says: The Federal surgeon says he witnessed the execution, and that the Doctor died with heroic firmness. The execution was public, the scaffold having been erected near the Fair Grounds, on the suburbs of the city. But a few days previous to his execution there was occasion to remove him from the jail to the Custom-House, where the mock trial which unrighteously condemned him to death was held. He was carried through the streets in irons, but this ignominious treatment did not subdue

The Confederate and U. S. naval officers at Brest treat each other with "dignified politeness." The crews of the Florida and Kearsage, however, have bloody fights whenever they meet. The C. S. steamer Alabama was reported to be off Cardenas, Cuba, with another commander, Capt. Semmes having been appointed to another ship. Among late arrivals reported at Nassau were Messrs. Richardson and Joyce, lately editors of the Baltimore Republican, expelled by Lincoln. Mrs. Trolloppe, the English authoress, is dead.
