V.'hen tb.e tebels fir?t threatened seces- tion, they claimed thnt tbe (icr.efal Gov crnment had no right to use hraZIe means to defeat their treasoK;tL!e designs. They contended that a State had not only the right to march cut of the Union, but it had a right to demand a peaceable retire lneut. Their speeches durio the 2d ses Eion of the CO tb. Congress abounded in these heterodox doctrine?. But this doo--lua was not confined to the South. Vith a fe?r exceptions, the democratic members from the North stoutly contended for the tame uiiserable heresy. They agreed that the South had no constitutional right to secede ; but it it did, then the govern ment had no power to coerce it bac!; into the Union. Gen. Paui.l Sickles, John Cochrane, and half a dozen others we eouli name, during that session, all con tended fcr this, i: rd it can be found in their published speeches. It was, for the time being, the Jt,:xocrjtic doctrine. The uiJ traitorous functionary then in the presidential chair professed to be govern ed by the same fallacy, and he carried it out in action. Our readers well remem ber his agreement with the South Caroli na members not to change the military statui cf Charleston ; and he did this with a iull knowledge that the Charlesto tiians were theu buildiDg fortifications to batter down our own forts under the Uni ted States 5?g. 2so power to corrce, he exclaimed, when urged to reinforce Col.

But the rebels gave I formal notice, three or four weeks a-o ! that the semi-pirates must be given up or the prisoners whose discharge the United States Government so anxiously desired fchouid never be discharged. Our Gov ernment, after some hesitation, concluded to grjrut the hard conditions, and actuallv sent the semi-pirates for exchange to Fort ress Monroe, where the negotiation failed because the rebels backed out from the arrangement which the;- thc-mslves had proposed. jYw"? the rebels tell us thai there shall to no more exchanges unless Gen. Uuckner, charged with treason and indicted fjr it by the judicial authorities of Kentucky, shall be exchanged for Gen. I reniiss, the officer who .so stransrely and inexcusably permitted himself to be sur prised by the enemy at Pittsburg Landing. It wc were to yield to rebel dictation aud rebel threats in this matter, the very next notice would be, tbat there shall be no more exchanges until one hundred and eighty men cf 3Iorgan'.s thieving and marauding band, captured at Lebanon, shall be given up. Lieut. Cel. "Wood, of that band, is actually boasting uow thai he will very speedily Le exchanged, and no doubt his confidence rests upon a knowl edge of the determination of the rebel Government to make the release of tho robbers of the guerilla bands an absolute condition of anv further exchnrv r,f ! all. Vie mayns well meet these impudent and presumptuous demands squarely first as last. The rebels should understand, that, in the matter cf the exchange of prisoners, they occupy but a poor position for dictating terms and conditions to us. If they will have it so, let the exchanges stop stop just as Icng as they choose. Deeply do we sympathize with the brave and unfortunate patriots now held in Southern dungeons and denied many cf the nece varies and all the comforts of i life, and otherwise cruelly maltreated, but we know that tLcy will calmly and even cheerfully bear their hardships and wrongs rather than see tlieir government bumble itself before tb.e rebel Confeder acy by unworthy and degrading compliances.

The following accouat js furnished by the correspondent of the As sociated Press : In the bed of the river, near St Charles, two concealed batteries opened on the Mound City, one cf the boats comprising the expedition. Iter decks were immediately cleared' for action, and U5 soon as the ranire of t lit? encinvs works were obtained, "tlie guns opened fire. Capt. Kelty signalled Col. Fifth, of the Indiana volunteers, to bind his forces below the fort, which he successfully ac complished. The Lexington and St. Lau is shelled the woods, and under cover of which Coh Fitch gained the rear of the rebel position. At this juncture a plunfr it;g shot from a siege guu on the bhiii struck forward on the port side of the Mound City's casements, and penetrating it, passed through the steam drum, filling the vessel with escaping steam, scalding nearly every one on board. The crew consisted of one hundred and seventy-five, cf whom nearly one hundred and twenty five were killed or wounded, inelulir. twenty-three officers. The scene which ensued was horrible. Many of the crew, frantic with pain, jumped overboard, and feme were drowned. Boats from the Couesfoga, which was coming up at the time to support the Mound City, were fent to their relief, but the rebels "lire J on the men in the water with grape and can ister frcra field pieces, murdering ir.o-t cf those attempting to escape.

He was brought to Mem phis on the Ccntpfoga. But for the un iovtimate accident to the31ound City, the rebel works would have been carried with out the loss of a man. The Mound Ciiv can easily be repaired. Th rebels have obstructed the channel above by sinking two larc steamboats and a gunboat.

The Iudiana boys stood their ground, and sustained "a very slight loss, iu the afternoon the regiment wa coai- ioss is estimated at from fifty to one hun dred. Col.

"The Mitchell Colonel, ia a A Savannah correspondent of the Charlestou Courier furnihes an amazing description of the scene which ensued on the occasion of a draft for four hundred men in Savannah, Ga., to complete a re quisition for troops, the requisite number not having volunteered. Fifteen hundred of the Lusinos men and meehunies of the city were drswn up in a hollow square oa the parade ground, all ia a high state of excitement, when the following proceed ings took place : '"The Colonel now takes his place in the center, and from the back of his mag nificent horse, in a few well-timed remarks, calls for volunteers. He said it was .1 shame that a Georgian should submit to be drafted, and. dishonorable to a citizen of Savannah to be forced into the service cf his country, lie appealed to their pa triotism, their pluck, and their pelf. He told them of good clothes, good living, and fifty dollars bounty ; and on the strength of these considerations, invited every body to walk three paces to the front. Nobody did it. "An ugly pause ensued, worse than a dea l silence between the ticking of a con versation. The Colonel thought he miht not have been heard or understood, aud repeated his catalogue of persuasions. At this point, one of the sides of the hol low square opened, and in marched a com pany cf about, forty stalwart Irishmen, whom their captain, in a loud aud exul tant tone announced as Guards ; we volunteers, body.'' The Colonel was delighted. He . reposed three cheers for the Mitchell Guards, and the Crowd indulged, not ia ordinately, in the pulmonary exercise. The requisite number did not seem to be forthcoming, however, and the Colonel made anotfter little speech, winding up with an invitation to the black drummer and fifer to perambulate the quadrangle and play Fdxie, which they did, but they cauie as they went solitary and alone; not the ghost of a volunteer being any where visible in the Ethiopian wake.
