THE SITUATION IN THE SOUTHWEST.
According to a derpatch, dated the 10th, from
Naehvfl]e } the report of Knoxville being out oft' need
elicit no apprehension. It would take 60,000 men
to capture Knoxville and our army. No siege will
be attempted. General Grant can reioforce the gar
rison with 20j000 men in flity hours. One division
of the Army of the Cumberland ia within sound of
the cannon of Knoxville garrison. Another divi
sion could inarch to ita relief in twenty-four hours.
The river between Chattanooga and Loudoun ia
low ; boats have stuck often. The distance between
Chattanooga and Knoxville has been made in twen
ty-four hours and a half. The railroad will be in
running order in a few days. The distance is ninety
miles between Chattanooga and Knoxville. The
only serious break will be Tunnel Bridge, at liou
doun, a length of 1.700 feet, which will be built in
ninety days.
Generals Schofield and Stoneman are on their
way to Knoxville from Chattanooga,
The Hichmond Examiner of February 6th cays:
“ We learn that despatches were received here
yesterday, from Gen. Polk, at meridian, Mississippi,
reft ryirg to a contemplated movement of the enemy
from l azoo City. It is supposed to be the design of
the enemy to biseot the State of Mississippi; and
Widen the breach wbioa the river m*kea between, the
two portions of the Confederacy. We suggested,
some days ago. tbat Sherman's designs were neither
din cleft to Mobile nor Texas, as generally supposed,
hut were aimed-at Gen. Polk’s lines; and the recent
despatches confirm this supposition. M
A YOICE FZvO&I ALABAMA.
The Hon. D. O. Humphreys, who has abandoned
the rebel cause, has issued an address to his fellow
citizens of Alabama, some portions of which the
public have already seen. Speaking of an alliance
with some foreign Power, he says:
11 Let it be submitted to the candor of the people
everywhere if theieis wisdom or sound policy in
separating from our own people, and throwing the
country under the proteotton.of a foreign Govern
ment, or-in seeking an alliacce’with a Power that
would hold us in subjection to its will. .dsZfcngaj
the political construction the Souih-never was
at the mercy orwiU of the North,™
Mr. Humphreys seems to differ with the Copper
heads of the North as to the destruction of our U>
betties, for he says:
if And I am satisfied- that the State of Alabama
can make peace upon terms of equality in the
Union. The property of the country may De saved,
and above all the honor of the State and the free
dom oi the people may be secured by peace. I have
no argument or excuse to offer to those who pro
snniptuoualy smi arrogantly e&f that the South
can make no terms with the United States Govern
ment. Such are without reason and are blind to
facts. Nature has bound the South to the United
States Government, and the work of man- has fol
lowed out, in all the improvements that have been
made, the great design ot Nature. How can Ten
nessee separate herself from Kentucky, or Alabama
separate from Tennessee; or how can the South get
along without the ports of New Orleans, and Pea
sacoia, and Mobile ? Or how can the States of Mi«-
scuii. Illinois, Indiana, lowa, Wisconsin, * Michi
gan, Ohio eigoy the free, unrestricted, unmolested
navigation of the Mississippi without a common
law iegulatiug the icteicourae, and that regulation
Ot itself, with the views entertained, amounts to
Union 1 The great Northwest is unwilling to dis
solve the old Union, and they makb common cause
with the East and Middle to hold all together,”
1364.
The Teport of Be&uzegard’s Inspector General is
reviewed in the Charleston papers. The following
describes a crisis in the little Gibraltar:
“On Sunday, August S 3, the Ironsides and seven
monitors commenced ft terrific bombardment, A fog
protected them from tie gunsof Moultrie. Sumpter,
having only two 10 ir.ch and one ll inch gua left ea
barbeite, could only ftie an occasional shot to show
life. For seven hours, at close range, the fleet hurled
shot ana shell into the work. Striking the wall near
the parapet, loose brick were thrown up in columns
and fell in showers around the gunners and about
the work. 'Walls were ploughed through, casemates
were filled with sand, and the shells passed across
the parade, striking the interior wall of the west
magazine, containing powder enough to destroy fort
and garrison. One shell struck the ventilator and
exploded. It filled the magazine with smoke. An
other more eucceg&rul shot] and all would have been
lost. It was an anxious moment, but the fort was
held* Gradually the morning dawned. The fog
lifted, and Fort Moultrie opened flte on the ships.
Instead of continuing their fire at this critical peri
od, the fleet withdrew and the danger was remitted.
The object was now, in the unsafe condition of the
fort, to get lid of the pou der. It depends on time,
and the movements of the fleet. Had the fleet early
renewed the attack, the business might have been
dote. The fleet delayed ! Night after night tfao
powder was moyeu in barrels under thn enemy’s
guns. Oily 800 pounds were left; the crisis was
passed ! The fort was now safe from the explosion
of the powder in. it? magazine.”
To-day (Jan. 15) this rebel authority claims that
Fort Sumter is stronger than ever.
LATE AFFAIRS ON THE RAPID AN.

Our lose was four killed and twenty wounded. The

R. E LEE, General Commanding.
THE IRRITATION IN NORTH CAROLINA.
The Raleigh Progress of Feb. 3 says :
“The present Congress is beat on fastenings mili
tary r.erpoiitm on toe people of these Confederate
State*, and the people must either submit quietly to
receive the yoke, or resist the tyranny. Reuetance
to tyrants is obedience to God, and the people of
North Carolina will not hesitate as to the course
they &houid pursue. Pass the bill to enroll the
whole population, reported in the House by the
Military Committee, yesterday, and a spontaneous
C?y tv ill come up from every nook ana corner, of
North Carolina for a Convention, and, unless the
military gsg the last man in the State, including the
Governor, ibe Legislature, and other Stats officers,
they will h*.ve it.”
THREATENED UPRISING AT BELLE ISLE.
The Richmond TVnig of the 10th says:
“We understand that the military authorities
felt warranted yesterday, acting upon information
disclosed through sn anonymous correspondence, la
adopting extraordinary measures to proveat an up
rising oi ibe Yankee prisoners of war held on Belie
Isle, such a demonstration being hinted at as on the
tapis. We will not state what are the preparations
made to put down summarily any such foolish coup
d'etat on the part of the prisoners; but we may state,
for the benefit of the prisoners, that they are ample
enough to relieve the public mind from any appre
hension that may be felt on that score.”
GENERAL LEE ON THE WAR.
General Lee is not a braggart, and the following,
from the Columbia South Carolinian , is, of course,
very doubtful:
A- gentleman who has just arrived in Columbia,
from Richmond, bring! the cheering intelligence that
General Lee, in conversation with a bevy or friends,
recently, made the remark that, with twenty thou
sand additional men in hia army, and forty thousand
additional troops in the army or General .Tohcston,
we could tc hip all the Yankee tribes that may be
brought against ue. He further observed that, if
the contest was prolonged until September next, and
we Should meet with no grave disasters (which Ge
neral not anticipate), the greatest origia of
the war“ould be successfully passed.
At Vicksburg.— Vicksburg, as still as it has
been kept, is becoming a fast place, as I think the

Parson Browhlow’s Knoxville Whig and Rebel
Ventilator , of January 26th, contains the following
“plain talk:”

Bowden, a rebel senator from Virginia, has died*
We have it here, and had it rather on the increase-
It was bio- ght here during the siege by LongitreeVg
army, and is a fixed institution in the rebel army.
The personal filth and corruptions of the whole
gang—their lice, bed-bugs, old clothes, poor diet, and
guiltv consciences, mixed, as they are, with mean
whisky, and all that is mean, dirty, and unpatriotic
are enough to flood the country where they go with
every hateful disease known to the human family.”
Bbaxtrbgard Paving United States Taxes.—
On the 6tb wet., Gen. P. G. T. Beauregard, through
his agent, paid his United States tax, on property in
Memphis, amounting to over one hundred dollars.
This clearly indicates that, even if he has faith in
the establishment of a Southern Confederacy, he
has no hopes that Tennessee will constitute a por
tion thereof.
Rebel Cavalrymen Killed by Yankee Ne
gros**—The Examiner of February Bth learns that
on Friday, February 6th, two members of the Prince
William Cavalry, named Davis and Reynolds, suc
ceeded in capturing four negroes in the Yankee
service, belongingto the “HomeGuard ll of Fairfax
county. The cavalrymen took the negroeß to Dum
fries, and, on Friday night, placed them in an un*
occupied house. Having imprudently fallen to sleep,
the cavalrymen were attacked and overpowered by
the negroes, their skulls cleft by some sharp instru
ment, and their bodies mutilated in the most horri
ble manner. They were found next morning welter
ing in their blood, and lived only long enough to re
late the ciroumstances of the terrible tragedy which
had befallen them.
The good old game of foot ball, which has fallen
into undeserved neglect in this country, has lately
been revived in England, where there is now a
fierce dispute going on as to the proper manner of
playing it The principal quarrel la between Eton
and Rugby. American readers of “ Tom Brown’s
School-Days” must have been puzzled—if they had
ever'in their own school-days played at foot-ball—
with the author’s description of the game as played
at Rugby. The great feat at that place appears to
be to ptek up the ball and carry it bodily, and
against all opposition, towards the base or home.
We should not call this foot-ball, but rather hand,
or, perhaps, race-ball. But the Rugbians insist upon
this. At Eton the game appears to be played more
after the American mode; the ball is not touched
with the hands, except &j>layer catches it, when he
has a right, under the rules, to “ camp” it. We do
not know, however, whether this phrase is used in
England. In our younger days, when foot-ball was
a favorite school game, an attempt to pick up, carry,
or throw the ball with the hands, would have ex
cited as much horror and disgust as the English fox
hunter experienced when his French guest shot A

STATE TAX BILL,
Among the many important bin, that will toon
be before the Legislature 1, one relating to the as
eesiment and colleotion of taxed. The bill U Of
great length, and makes some Important changes in
our system of raising revenue.
No action has been taken, as yet, in relation to
apportioning the State. The committee will con.
slat of twenty-one members. It has not yet been
appointed, and will not be lor several days, x ap.
prebend that the committee will hove some diffi
culty in framing a bill that will soil ail, and all will
have to be suited. The different political parties in
the Legislature are so nearly balanced that It wiil
be framed with difficulty. If a Union Senator i.
elected next Friday, in the Indiana district, we .hall
then have but one majority in the Senate; so that
all of the Union Senators must approve the bi!!. be
cause the vote oi every one of them will be needed
to pass it.
RETURNED SOLDIERS.
There is a general complaint among the returned
soldier, in regard to their reception at this place,
and the quarters offered them by the authorities,
Somebody, evidently, is to blame, aod this oversight
in regard to proper quarters cannot be corrected too
soon. Men who for more than two years have been
lighting tbeir country’s battles ought to be treated
decently, at least, and upon tbeir arrival at the
capita) of their native State should have comfortable
quarters assigned to them, and not be compsUod to
live at their own expense, at high priced hotels. I
know of one regiment, in particular, that upon Its
aniral here from the Army of the Cumberland w-.
crowded into quarters covered with filth, and fed
upon ration, insufficient in <jcsnt,y and ooarse ia
quality. The food given them waa not half as good
as ihe rations given them in the army.
WANT OF HOSPITALITY.
You cannot pass a street corner without hearing
these men complain of their reception by the oily, and
their treatment by the authorities. Dozens of regi
ments have returned, re-enlisted for another three
years, having left half of their original number upon
Southern battle-fields. Our homes by them have
been defended agalnßt rebel invasions. What they
did to prevent this self- same city from falling into
rebel bands, ask the S.ooo noble dead who sleep upon
the immortal fieldof Gettysburg; and yet, after all
these toils, dangers, and privations, and when they
come home to the capital of this great state, as re
enlisted veterans, no gun is fired, mo bells are rung,
no flag floats upon the breeze, no cheers are given in
honor of tbeir return, and the services they have
rendered their country.
They are unanimous in this—that they have
never met with so cool a reception in any city—not
even excepting Kentucky and Tennessee. It is
really too bad that the proper authorities had not
made their arrangements more perfectly. I know
not at whoso door this apparent negligence lies; and
only hope that it may no* be repeated. The 46th
Regiment arrived here yesterday, under command of
Ooh Selfridge. P. Frazer Smith delivered a wel*
coming speech from the steps of the Capital, which
was Jail of eloquence and patriotism, in the course
of which he asked, ** What can we do for you 1”
The gallant colonel replied in feeling terms. He
said that they were plain men, accustomed to hard
knocks, and that in reply to the above question, he
WOUJd, in behalf of his regiment, say to the Legisla
tuie—organize, go to work, stop quarrelling about
offices—be united at home as they were in the field,
and before the meeting of another Legislature the
old flag will float in security from the great lakes
to the Gulf of Mexico. He said that in the army
they know no Democrats, no Republicans, but only
the tiag of their country an d the Union of the States.
But, said he, pointing to hisveterau troops: “ There
are no Copperheads there!” FRANK.
The law of Confiscation.
To the Editor of The Press:
Sir: While those called Copperheads affirm that
Congress has bo power to provide for the for
feiture of estates for treason beyond the life of the
attainted, those called Abolitionists Contend that all
estatu po.aetEed by the offender at the time the trea
son is oemmitted, or of thseonviotioa therefor, nay,
in punishment of the traitor, be forfeited and confis
cate dby Congress. “ Congreas shall have power to
punish treason. But no attainder of treason shall
work corruption of blood or forfeiture, except du
ring the life of the person attainted.”
Bow does the latter affect the power given by
the fiist clause 1 Does it limit the time daring
which an attainder mas work corruption of blood or
forfeiture, and allow it lo work both at She last mo
ment of the life of the attainted'! Or does it restrict
the power of Congress to forfeit absolutely, and
render all forfeitures of lands or ohattels forfei
tures for the life of the attainted >
Forfeitures in England have two sources, one in
the superior power of punishing crime, the other
in the condition annexed to the grant of the use of
lands. that the grac.t shall terminate, and the right
to the uae cease in the grantee, and revive in the
grrntcr ol the iee, upen the commission of a felony
or treason.
In England, by attainder in high treason, a man
forfeits to the King hia title to all the estates of in
beritance which he had at the time of the offence
committed, or any time afterwards, to be forever
vested in the Crown, and all profits of lands and
tenements, held by the offender in his own right for
life or years, so long as such interest shall subsist.
This forfeiture relates backwards to the time of the
treason committed, ro as to avoid all intermediate
sales and incumbrsnoee. (4 B. 0., 381,) Forfeiture
of lands, and of whatever elqp the offender pos
sessed, was the doctrine of the old Saxon law*
as a part of the punishment of the 'offence*
and does not at all relate to the feudal eye
tern. Nor is it the consequence of aay sign,
iag or lordship paramount, but being a preroga
tive of the Crown, was neither superseded nor
diminished by the introduction of the Norman ten
ures, a consequence of which escheats must be
reckoned. Escheat, therefore, operates iu subordina*
lion to this more ancient and superior law of forfeiture.
The doctrine of forfeiture by escheat upon attainder,
taken singly, is this: that the blood of the tenant by
the commission of a felony (comprising treason) is
eonupted and stained, upon the thorough demonstra .
Hon of which guilt by legal attainder the feudal cove
nant atd mutual bond of fealty are held to be bro
ken, and the inheritable quality of the blood of the
tenant is extinguished and blotted out forever. In
consequence of whioh corruption of blood, and ex
tinction of hereditary capacity after a breach of
fealty the grant ceases, and the lands would imme
diately revert [in the lord of the fee, but that the
superior law of forfeiture intervenes and intercepts
it in its passage ; in case of treason, forever; la case
of other felony, for only a year and a day, after
WMck time it goes to the lord in a regular
course j>f escheat, as it would have done to
the heir of \he felon in case the feudal tenures had
never been introduced. (28. 0., 252, etcO Attainder
establishes guilt and woiks a forfeiture of all titles
to lands vested in the offender before and after the
treason, during the life of the attainted, to the king
forever. But if ft ffttber be seized in fee, and the
son commits treason and 1b attainted, and then the
father dies, here the lands shall escheat to the lord,
because the son, by the corruption of his blood, is
incapable to be heir, and there can be no other heir
during his life; but.nothlrg shall be forfeited to
the king, Tor the son never had any interest in the
lard* to forfeit, having avoided the anticipated de
scent and terminated the fee by a breach Of the bond
Of hia ancestor securing hie fealty. Where the law
punishing exacts the forfeiture, the attainder substi
tutes the king, by vesting the titles in the attainted
and such as descend before his death in the king.
After attainder for treason the king, here the State,
takes the titles vested and whioh would vest during
the life of the attainted, by reason of his disqualifica
tions under the criminal law, to acquire or hold pro
perty by it, forfeited and vested by attainder in the
king forever, in punishment of the offence and in
accordance with the sentence of forfeiture.
Hence, if the father of the attainted died a moment
before him, the descending title would vest forever
in the king or State, though the judgment conse
quent with attainder were a year old.
If he died a moment after his son nothing would
pais to the king, but being, through breach of the
bond Of fealty, disabled to take, and of consequence
to transmit the title because of the termination of
the grant, the right to use the lands is returned as it
is restored in the lord, freed from the grant, not as
a punishment of the criminal law, or of the traitor
by that law, but because of the bond of fealty and
its breach and the consequent want of title in the
heir and the unincumbered restoration or relief of the
lord’s dominion over the land. The channel (says
2 Black., 264), which oonveyed the hereditary blood
from hia ancestor to him, is not only exhausted for
the present, but totally dammed up and rendered im
pervious for the future. This is a refinement on the
ancient law of feuds, whioh allowed that the grand
son might be heir to his grandfather, though the in
termediate generation was guilty of felony; but, by
the law of England, a man’s blood is so universally
corrupted by attainder that his sons oan neither in
herit to him or to any other ancestor, at least on
the part of their attainted father.
The king may excuse the public punishment of an
offender, but cannot abolish the private right which
has accrued to the lord of the fee. He may remit
the forfeiture to himself, but he cannot wipe away
the conuption of blood, or divest the lord’s right to
the escheat. (2 b» c., sm.)
Thus we see attainder forfeiting dozing the life of
the.attainted the property vested in the attainted,
and after the treason and before execution descend
ing to him at the behest of the law punishing the
treason; and we see it preventing the heirs of the
attainted from claiming of the grantor the estate
forfeited by a breach of the terms of the grant, by
which they are estopped from inheriting the estate
so escheated.
The attainder i. .working corruption of blood du
ring the life of the attainted, and that work, ina
bility to receive and forfeiture to the king during
life, but cea.e. working forfeiture, wben life eeatei,

grandfather, and attainder can work no forfeiture
not worked during life. No forfeiture worked during
life i. for the term of life, but abulute. The attain

“ la P*a»flylvasia. in Aldof the
Great Irish National Fair, to toe held In
Chicago, March 38,186*.
Fbiaow-countrymkn and Friends ob* Irb.
land: It has been deemed advisable tobrimr'to
your special attention the great Irish National Fair
to be held in the city of Chicago, on the 28th of
March next, to be kept open for one or two weeks.
In order that you may have an opportunity of pi*,
dug your patriotic offerings on the altar of your
country, a table will bo set apart in that fair to re
present the State of Pennsylvania.
The fund arising from the fair will be devoted to
thegnational purposes of the Fenian Brotherhood.
The laoiea in Ireland furnish sundry article**
harps, books, flags, weapons, and miscellanea, which
belonged to the heroes of Ireland, or which are valu
able from their historical associations. Bog-oak
jewelry will form a prominent feature. But, the
most conspicuous feature of the fair will be the na*
tional spirit of Ireland that has lived through ages
Of suffering and woe, and still lives as proud, as de*
Sant r as uncosquered and unconquerable to-day. as
when Brian swept the Northmen from Oiontarff, or
the minions of England were made to bite the dust
beneath the shadow of old Benburb. Inspired with
f *P lratiOD ft And hopes, in the inde
ntnictlhihiy of our ancient nationality, we direct
S re *t national undertaking in
the City of the Lakes. There the national flag of
lielrnd will be unfurled, and the good and the true
wifi place on their country's shrine the aid neoassarv
for a wronged and oppressed people; and there the
exiled children of the ruined Ule will indorse the
?\fc l7 < P ro l® ,t t*> Pope John XXII, early
in the fourteenth century, against the cruel oppre*
slon inflicted on his country, in hie day, as the fol
lowing brief extracts will amply testify;
tt “Y<scherish,” says this native Irish manifesto,
"at the bottom cf our hearts an Inveterate hatred,
produced by lengthened recollections of injustice—
by the muruer of our fathers, brothers, and nearest
kindred—and which will not be extinguished in our
time, rcr in that of our children ; so that, as long
as we have life, we will fight against them, without
regret or remoi ee. in defence of our rights. We
Will cot cease to fight against and annoy them until
they themeelvev, for want of power,
shall have ceased to do ub barm, and the Supreme
Judge shall have taken just vengeance on their
enmes, which, we firmly hope, will sooner or later
come to pass. Until then, we will make war upon
them unto death, to recover the independence which
is our national right, being compelled thereto by very
necessity, and willing rather to brave danger like
men than to languish under insult. 11
Aid as a proof of the prophetic words of the
O Neil, we subjoin the following extract from the
Irish People of January 23d, 1564 :
u "We have had c«ur moments of gloom—but of de
spair, never. A •miracle forbsde us to despair. That
miracle is the indestiuctioility of the longiug for a
distinct national existence in the hearts of the Irish
people. 1/ the Great Euler had not destined us to
be a nation, this sentiment, or call it what you will,
could not have survived the ordeal through which it
has passed. Has it lived through ages of darkness
and storm but to be quenched while it glows with an
mteneer heat and a purer light than ever? Either
Iha* or we are on the threshold of liberty.
11 Youth of Ireland l all depends upon yolk Upon
3 our courage and devotion hangs the fate of your
country. You are our. vanguard. Be prepared to
meet the foe in an ordered phalanx, and vour meas
ured tramp shall hush the voice of denucciation;
you will inspire the waverer with courage; the
doubter with confidence ; the Belfish with devotion :
the despairing with hope; the apathetic with life
and united Ireland, leaping to her feet, shall, with
one sweep of her unfettered arm hurl the invader
into the sea.
youcg men of Ireland, is your mission,
Ob ! be worthy of it.”
Yss, at Chicago, the pledge of fealty will be made
anew to the old land of saints and of sages, of
warriors and of poets, that beautiful land of sorrow
and of song. The gifted of our race will be there,
and with an eloquence peculiarly their own, they
witi hold up from the mitt of departed ages the
spectres of your murdered ancestors j and the hoary
headed criminal, the oppressor of our country, will
k®A x JJ os ?£ to . the gaze of the civilized world, red
with the blood of our murderedpeopie. The taste and
industry of your countrywomen will be displayed,
together with marufactures of rare beauty, and
mary a souvenir of historic interest, reminding you
cftlie chieftians who have leit behind them deeds
ot imperishable glory.
Your countrymen in Chicago, who have this great
national undertaking in hand, are men of enterprise
and alerting integrity, pursuing profitably their dif
ferent avocations in life with honor to themselves
and credit to their country, and who will guard the
trust, committed to their care as a virgin would
guard her honor. It is true they have no patent of
cobflity from a foreign and perjured government.
They are the descendants of the old nobility of the
land, who gathered around the desecrated altars of
their religion, whether in caverns or mountain fast*
cere, and never accepted a foreign yoke or sold their
birthright for a mess of pottage.
A committee of arrangement has been formed in
fifty, to be enlarged, if ne
cessary—men known in their respective localities—
men whose character for honesty and industry is be
yond reproach.
We id all e an appeal confidently to Irishmen
everywhere Id the Stntc, Those who cannot send
articles may send money. Any artiole will be re
ceived, and any sum, however modest. Let the
Irish ladies work and convince the people at home
that they are willing and able to assist those who
are trying to assist themselves.
