The Release of Mason and Slidell-
With the exception of the Lewistown j
Democrat and a few other patent democrat
ic prints, which have much to Bay about
*■' abolitionism," bard times for poor people, j
•and but little against the southern hell
hounds who plunged this country into civ
il war because they could no longer rule it, 1
there is a general acquiescence in the re- ,
lease of Mason and Slidell. Our people,
under the excitement caused by the cap
ture, applauded it highly, and even our
best iurists, under that excitement, fell in
to the error that Captain Wilkes was au
thorized by international law to take those
men; but on a closer review of the subject,
the manifest injustice of such an act is
made apparent; and our government, in j
doing right, did not humiliate itself or the j
people. The doctrine, as sanctioned by I
France, is that Captain Wilkes would have
had a right to capture the vessel, take her ,
into port, and leave a Court of Admiralty
to say whether the vessel contained articles
or persons contraband of war, but that he
could not constitute himself a judge iu that
particular. There is also another view of
the case, in our opinion stronger than this:
we do not recognize a Southern government j
at all, and hence these men were nothing
more than political refugees: and we would
have no more right to take them trom a .
British, French or Spanish vessel, than to j
go into Canada, France or Cuba, and re
capture thtui there.
Aid and Comfort to the Enemy
We have a class of papers in the North
which, notwithstanding the perilous times i
we live in, take every occasion'to throw
discredit on the government, create a spir- :
it of discontent, and keep alive that tory
feeling so rampant among a certain class
of patent democrats who could even sec
"pure democracy"' in the thefta of Floyd,
Thompson, and other traitors. The Ger
uiantowu Telegraph, a neutral but patriotic >
paper, takes ono of these to task, and as
several abound in this congressional and
judicial district, its remarks arc equally ap
plicable to llicin. It says :
While the Patriot and Union is a good
newspaper, and in many respects well con- i
ducted, it could exercise, by resolutely and
energetically maintaining the title which it
bears, in our struggle for National existence,
a valuable influence. But, however much it
may be denied, it chooses to pursue a differ
ent course, and instead of strengthening the ,
hands of Government and encouraging the
soldier offering his life as a sacrifice for the
Union and the Constitution, its columns tend
to paralyse both. " Drifting from the Land
marks," how ingeniously crouched, or plaus
ibly expressed, defend it as you please, can
have but cne tendency at this time—and thut
is, as we have before said, for evil.
The Patriot and Union is one of the thin- !
skinned journals of the State, which would in- j
dign&ntly resent the charge that it sympa
thises with the gigantic treason now rampant
in our land; and would probably invoke the
protection of the law to disabuse" itself of the
base libel and punish the utterer; yet we
have not in our mind at this moment a single
hearty, tekolesouled editorial denunciation by
it of the treason and the traitors who have
brought upon us this fiendish internecine
strife, drenching the land with blood, and in
volving the country in an almost unextin
guishable debt. Whenever it does say any
thiDg, it has no thunderbolts for the rebel en
emies of our peace and institutions, coming
from the depths of its heart; no fervency
which can proceed only from sincerity of pur
pose; no sweeping condemnation which would
carry conviction of sincerity—only mincing
terms of regret at the mistake the rebels have
made—of the folly of their attempt to secede
from the Union—of the misfortunes that most
overtake them, &c , &c.; generally winding
up with a side-lick at the Government of the
Union. Much of its editorial matter is made
up from " fishy" papers like the New York
Journal of Commerce, from which its tone is
copied. If the Patriot and Union calls this
evidence of its claim to the name it bears, we
trust it will never find us one of its disciples.
The truth appears to be, that our cotempo
rary would rather see the Union fall, than
that the rebellion should be put down in any
other way tban by the square and compass
process which it so persistently prescribes.

Newly elected members.
The Legislature was organized yesterday
by the eleotion of Louis W. Hall, Esq as
Speaker of the Senate, and John Rowe of
Franklin county, Union democrat, Speaker
of the House. The latter was elected by the
Republicans and Union democrats over the
patent nominee, by a vote of 53 to 45.
Mr. Hall made an eloquant address on tak
ing his seat.
ttSt-A number of self-etjled democratic
papers think there was "humiliation'' in de
livering up Mason and Slidell. The Rich
mond Lxaminer, Richmond Whig, and other
rebel papers have just the same idea, only
couched in stronger language! Ought not
this remarkable coincidence of feeling and
sentiment —for such it is—open the eyes of
these deluded followers of Breckinridgeism to
the false, if not disloyal, position they occupyf
As Douglas well remarked, there can be but
two parties now—the one for, the other
against the Union.
Apointment of Judge of the Supreme Court.
—The Chicago Journal states upon what it
considers good authority that President Lin
coin has determined to appoint Hon. O. li.
Browning now U. S. Senator from Illinois, to
the National Supreme Court, in place of
Judge McLean,'deceased.
WAR NEWS.
We see by late rebel papers that incendiary
fires are becoming very common throughout
the South, and that the jeoplc are very much
alarmed. They fear that there is a great
conspiracy in their midst to destroy by fire
the whole of their property and effects. Sev
eral fires have occured in Charleston since
the recent large one, and a Montgomery (Al
abama) paper recently stated that seven at
temps have been made to burn that city at
different rimes by persons appl.ing the torch
in the most populous part, where, if the flames
mes fairly got a headway they could not be
very easily stopped. The town of Greenville,
in the same State, was nearly burned down,
and in Georgetown, Texas, property was des
troyed, by the same means, to the amouat of
$30,000. At Nashville, a large quantity of
commissary stores and ordnance belonging to
the rebel Government was burned, entailing
a loss of over two millions of dollars, while a
Confederate powder mill, near New Orleans,
was blown up, although the guard had just
examined the premises a few minutes before
the explosion. At Richmond, Virginia,
where it would seem that property should be
more secure, on account of the large num
ber of soldiers in that city, several large fires
have taken place, and the other day the Rich
mond Theatre, situated in the most wealthy
and populous portion of the city, was set on
fire, and before the flames could be extinguish
ed they had extended to other buildings, and
destroyed a large amount of valuable proper
ty. From Norfolk we have a report that
several suspicious looking men were arrested
by the guard, while walking around the navy
yard, with combustible material in their pos
session, their design being, no doubt, to either
burn the yard or the frigate Merrimac, in the
dock. We have no doubt that nine out of
ten of these fires have been the work of incen
diaries, who, in many cases have, we suppose,
been " contrabands."
Bj the arrival at New York of the Catawba
and Roanoke, we learn that Commodore Da
pont was evidently preparing for a new strike
at the rebels. Arrangements were making
at Ililton lie d, in the last week of Decem
ber, for a naval demonstration, the details rf
which cannot be published in full; the frigate
Wabash and a large number of armed launch
es having been put in order and the latter
tested, in the work of assisting and covering
the landing of troops. The practice in the
boats had been quite extensive, and it was
fully understood that a new descent was
about to be made on the enemy's coast. The
gun-boats were concentrating ; and so far as
the naval part of the expedition was concern
ed, the preparations for an offensive move
ment were nearly, if not quite, complete.
The Rebels Attacked at Huntersville
and Routed.
CINCINNATI, Jan. 6.—A special dispatch
to the Gazette from Huttonville, Ya., says an
expedition consisting of four hundred of the
Twenty fifth Ohio, three hundred of the Sec
ond Virginia regiments, and forty of Brack
en's cavalry, sent out by Gen. Milroy to at
tack Huntersville, was completiy successful.
They attacked th' enemy on Saturday, con
sisting of four hundred cavalry and three hua
dred and fifty militia. After skirmishing an
hour, tho cmrniy retreated with the loss of
eight killed and wounded. On our side, nolle.
Eighty thousand dollars' worth of army >t..res
and clothing was captured and destroyed.
From Missouri-
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 27.—The following i A re
sume of the recent military operations in
M issouri, obtained from a reliable source.—
Within the last two weeks the Federal Ar
my has captured 2.500 Rebels, including
about 70 commissioned officers, 1,200 horses
and mules, 1,100 stand of arms, two tuns cf
powder, 106 wagons, an immense amount of
commissary stores, camp equipage : the large
foundry at Lexington, used by the Rebels
for casting cannon, shot and shells, burned.
Most cf the Rebel craft on the Missouri
river, including the ferry boats, have been
either destroyed or captured, and a pretty
clean sweep has been made of the whole
country between the Missouri and Osage riv
ers. Gen. Trice has been cut off" from ail
supplies and recruits from North Missouri,
and is in full retreat for Arkansas with his
whole army, having passed through Spring
field on Monday last.
Our loss in accomplishing these impcrtant
results has not exceeded one hundred in kil
led and wounded.
The Released Federal Prisoners at Bal
timore-
The Baltimore Patriot, of Saturday even
ing, says:
The steamer which arrived this morning
from Fortress Monroe brought up two hun
dred and forty released prisoners, through
the agency of a flag of truce from Norfolk.—
They arc* a part of those captured at Bull
Run, and since held prisoners of war at
Richmond.
The boat arrived at the wharf at 20 minutes
past 7 o'clock, and the released prisoners
were met by a large crowd of Union men,
who took them in chargo, and marched them
up Lombard street to Hanover, then to Pratt,
thence to Eutaw street, to the rooms of the
Union Relief Association, where an excellent
breakfast awaited them, got by the Union
citizens of Baltimore. From three to five
thousand persons were in the vicinity of the
rooms, all anxious to get a glimpse of the
prisoners.
At ten o'clock Gen. Dix and staff made
their appearance at the rooms, and he was
greeted with repeated cheers by the soldiers.
He conversed for some time with the privates,
after which he took his leave.
It is well to remark that Gen. Dix stated
that, had Gen. Wool notified him that the
prisoners would reach here this morning,
he would have had a military escort awaiting
them at the wharf; but not being informed,
he thought that their departure from Fort
ress Monroe had been postponed.
They give a sad report of their treatment
while in the hands of the rebels at Richmond,
and declare that, before they would be taken
aga'lD, they would put aD end to their exis
tence. They also corroborate the statement
that the prisoners were shot by the rebel
guards at every opportunity that presented
itself. They were in the second story of the
building, and often shots were fired on the
first floor, the bullets penetrating through the
ceiling, into their apartments, wounding or
killing some of them. If they went near the
window they were sure of being shot at by
some one on the outside of the building, and
often by the sentinels.
They state that they did not get any por
tion of the clothing sent down byonrGovern
i ment for them, nor have they seen it. Their
clothing was of the most common kind, and
it would have been very acceptable had they
received what the Government sent them.
Some of the prisoners say that the release
of Mason and Slidell had caused great ex
citement at Richmond, the people abusing
our Government for Having, as they said, bent
the knee to Great Britain. They also declar
ed that its prestige wag gone ; that it was
, broken up; and that it would soon be glad to
j-in the Southern Confederacy, provided they
i were willing to receive them.
By this Morning's Mail.
Ihe steamer Yanderbilt arrived at New
• \ ork on Monday, bringing three thousand
seven hundred bales of Sea Island cotton,
and intelligence from Port Itoval to the
.3d inst. Gen. Stevens' Brigade of Feder
) al troops had advanced upon the mainland
: from Port Royal Ferry, and assisted by the
gunboats, took possession of the rebel bat
teries after a short resistance. The ad
vance was prosecuted to within six miles
of the Charleston Railroad. The rebels
sent a flag of truce asking permission to
bury their dead. One hour was granted,
i The Rebels then fell back to their fortifi
cations and reserves, said to be twelve thou
stand strong. Gen. Stevens retained pos
session of the position on the mainland,
and awaited reinforcements. Our force
I was but 4,500 strong, of whom eight only
were wounded. The Southern accounts of
, the affair admit a loss of six killed and
twelve wounded on the first day and the
| driving back of Gen. Gregg's South Oaro
j Una Brigade on the second day wi.h heavy
loss.
I
From the Upper Potomac wc learn that
six thousand Rebels on Saturday attacked
j the Fifth Connecticut Regiment, engaged
! in protecting the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
i road near Hancock. Our troops were forc
ed to retire, and the rebels immediately
renewed the work of destroying the rail
, road, at the same time shelling Hancock.
It was reported that they had burnt the
new tressel bridge erected over the Cacapon
creek south of Hancock. Gen. Lander's
I Brigade bad arrived at Hancock, and the
Third Brigade of Gen. Banks' Division
left for the same point yesterday morning,
i Ihe whole of Gen. Bank's Division were
• under orders and preparing to move. Im
; portant movements are looked for.
We learn from Annapolis that the troops
attached to Gen. Burnside's expedition
i were rapidly embarking and that the de
| parture of the expedition will probably
i take place within the next forty-eight hours.
I A British v,ar steamer arrived and anchor
ed in Annapolis roads. Her name was not
] ascertained.
lien. McCiellaii has so far recovered as
to ride out in his carriage yesterday and
• attend to his official duties.
j The New York pap>ers of yesterday give
currency to a rumor prominent mil
itary officer had been detected in treasona-
ble correspondence with the enemy,
er and authoritative despatches state that
some important correspondence has been
secured and parties imp icated arrested, but
that the suspicions of the new York papers
are entirely unfounded. The Washington
Star, of last evening, says that the officer
against whom these unfounded and injuri
ous suspicions were diieeted is Gen. Thom
as, Adjutant General of the Army.
Reports from Kentucky state that the
bridge over Green river is completed, and
that Hen. Bud will probably soon make
an advance. The Rebels in the Eastern
portion of the State have retired before
Col. Garfield, who is advancing towards
Prestonburgh, where Humphrey Marshall
is stationed with a large force. Gen.
Schoepf is reported to have made several
ineffectual attempts to draw Zollicoffer into
an engagement outside of his entrench
ments at Somerset. Last Thursday the
Rebels captured a man from a skirmishing
party of Federals, whom they threatened
to hang, and in retaliation the latter arres
ted Robert Wolfotk, a prominent rebel of
Paducah, and sent word to the rebels that
his fate would be determined by that of
Owens. Mrs. YVolfolk has gone to Colum
bus to effect an exchange of the two men.
King Cotton in Peru.
The South American news by the North
ern Light is of & character calculated to make
the cotton lords of the C. S. A. feel slightly
uncomfortable. The British steamer Callao,
at Panama from Valparaiso, brought up a
large quantity of cotton from Peru, consigned
to England, with the announcement that a
much larger amount isgoinground Cape Horn.
This cotton is said to be of superior quality,
and no efforts to raise a very large crop on
the Peruvian coast the ensuing year will be
spared. The rebellious American " King Cot
ton" is thus threatened with a powerful rival
in a new quarter, and if the threatening will
but operato to bring him to his senses and
back to bis loyalty, the Peruvian planters will
deserve the thanks of the United States, as
j well as of Liverpool and Manchester.
Drowned in the Canal. — A few days ago the
body of an unknown man was found in the
canal at the Hog-pen locks, near Marietta.—
ITa was apparently twenty five or thirty years
of age, and was dressed in the uniform of a
cavalry soldier, and had a sword attached to
his side. On him was found a railroad pass
and a furlough from Col. Williams, to whose
regiment he no doubt belonged. From the
j appearance of the body, it had been several
weeks in the water.
