events'proved that in avoiding Seyllashe
met her Oharybdis. As she approaohed
;the Dauphin' Island Pass, off Mobileßay,
the gun-boat Sonth Carolina, saw her and
‘headed her off, firing several shell at her.
The,South Carolina came np with the rebel
about six o’olock in the evening, and board- "
’fed and seobred her. She was found to be
the Magnolia, a large ; sidewheel steamer, :
almost new,'built by Vanderbilt, at New
York, for the_ Bontherh Steamship Com
pany, and bound from New Orleans to
Havana with: a heavy Cargo of cotton. The
bfagnolia -left New Orleans with, about'
fourteen hundred baleß of ootton, but the
ere whad thrownpver thfedeek ioaa—fepn
sisting of some two hundred and fifty bales
of cotton-bo lighten the vessel ; they had
also thrown over a fine gun for the same
purpose. The boarding offioera found-the
ship on fire, and worn three hoars in ex
tinguishing the flames. ' •
' .The captain, Wm. S. Shannon, of New
Orleans, formerly of Philadelphia, and
orew, and two passengers—in all twenty
one persons—wete made prisoners. - The
captain and first engineer, being perfectly
desperate, were double ironed, and. the
pfize was then! ttfwed intp : Ship Islafid
Rhoads, and delivered ito the flag officer,
Commodore McKean, on the next day, the
20th. The Magnolia will probably be tow
ed to Key West by this Niagara, her cargo
re-shipped*for the North, and she will then
<be repaired and used in the service as a
gunboat. She is well adapted for the pur
pose, being capable of sixteen knots; and
when light drawing only five and a half
feet of water. With her fall cargo she
drew only eight feet and a half.
The value of the vessel and cargo—
eleven hundred, and. seventy bales of ootton
-—is estimated at a qnarter of a million of
dollars. The desperation of her offioers, is
a striking illustration of the terrible ear
nestness of the foe with whom we have to
deal. The owners of the ootton agreed
with Captain Shannon that he should
deliver his cargo to the consignees at Ha
vana, or, in the'event of his finding oaptnre
inevitable, he should destroy the ship.—
The reward of a successful issue of the en
terprise was to be one thousand dollars
more than his pay. When Captain Shan
non Baw that there was no hope of esoape
from the Sonth Carolina, he had the con
nection pipe and the sea cook cut, hoping
by these means to sink his vessel. He also
had the cotton fired in several different
places, and the engineer tied the safety
valve down, exhausted the water in the
boilers, and tried to blow the ship up. He
suooeeded in bursting one of the boilers,
and a plate from it went crashing through
the deck, and struck the second engineer
in the side, inflioting a wound from which
he died in about five hours. His face was
horribly mangled, the nose being knocked
off and his eyes and teeth being torn from
their sookets by the flying coals and ashes.
His name was William Wild, from New
Orleans, an Englishman by birth. He was
about thirty-five years of age, and leaves a
wife and four children to lament his tragi
cal fate. His body was enclosed in a plain
ooffin, and yesterday morning was brought
over to Ship Island by Midshipman Hunt,
■of the Niagara, and buried, by permission
of General Phelps, in the brigado cemete
ry. The beautiful servioe of the Episoo
pal Churoh was read ; and some earnest
and appropriate remarks made by the Rev.
Mr. Stewart, Chaplain of the Niagara.—
The ceremony was as respectful and serious
as though the objeot of it had died in a
true cause.

ns not bd too=asaoting. ■’‘Let ns remember
that we .jtrß! hnfc human. ;;Tha great truth
should be present with ns,: that
“ To ?rr is human, to forgir^dlvjne.”
This is the teaching of God’s truth. The
people often' rebelled against Jehovah, but
Jehovah' himself forgave therepentant sinners. ;
This is the lesson of-the Christian religion:—
As we expect forgiveness for onr offences, we
mpstforgive,. If these. misguided men, who
have taken up arms against the best govern
ment ever seen, repent and come bach to their
allegianee, let osreoeiye- them and show them
the goodness and power of the nation in its
power, to forgive. Those who repent of this
rebellion,' if pardoned,-; Will; not go WHblly
unpunished.. They will have to boar the
butden ofiooneotons guilt, tbe reproaches of
those whose, earthly .prospeots,.they have
blighted, and the widows and orphans they
have made and caused to mourn and the mis
trust that must accompany them to the grave.
I would declare this amnesty and pardon as
a war measure. It may draw thousands who
feel that rebellion is not a remedy for existing
or supposed evils, and are earnestly and
hopefully awaiting to escape, as far as pos
sible, from the consequences of their acts. 1 I
would open the door for them. Many of the
seceded States have always been for th e 0 nion,
and only await the time they may safely take
ground for it. I would declare the amnesty
and pardon as a financial measure, as a meas
ure of economy in this most expensive and
wasteful oivil war. I believe it would act
promptly in the restoration of the Constitution
and the Union, and be more effective io
restoring the Union than the most Bignal
viotories our armies have or shall obtain.—
If it shorten the war but fifty or one hundred
days it would save to the nation more than ten
times the valne of all the estates you could
possibly confiscate in accordance with tho
Constitution. You cannot confiscate the es
tates of non-oombatants ; the old men, the
widows, the orphans, the insane, or the
imbeoile, from whatever canse, are ont of the
reach of the most inveterate onemies of the
rebellion. We ought not to waste and destroy
the property of those whom we don’t intend
to punish as rebels. Their estates are a part
of the fixed capital of the nation,’and we
want it as a part of the national capital to
increase tho annual production of the country
to meet the unusnal taxation that must go
with this war, and follow it for many years.
I have spoken of and considered the co-restor
ation of the Constitution and the Union as a
fixed fact, and have the most perfect convic
tions of it. Yet we havo difficulties to
encounter.
The worst enemies of the Constitution are
those whose constant cry is for the blood of
the rebels and the confiscation of their estates,
with the emancipation of the slaves, aod who
to teach their purposes, would trample the
Constitution, the rights of property, and tbe
principles of humanity under foot, and blast
forever the prosperity of the nation. Such
men propose to establish, through congress
ional action, provisional governments over the
seceded States.
lam glad ta see our Union armies advan
cing, although the weather is bad and the
roads almost impassable, and I hope they will
now strike heavy and qaiofe. We want no
provisional governments in the States under
congressional action. The Union sentiment
is strong enough in Tennessee, and I believe
will be strong enough in all the seoeded States
when supported by the Union armies, to take
possession of the State governments and bring
them again under the folds of the Constitution.
There con he no fear about the supremacy of
the Union sentiment in those States. There is
sound logic and convincing eloqtieme in the ma
terial force of our Union armies. Do not be
surprised as (he armies advance, to find that
the work of restoration is more prompt and
decisive than the work of secession, and far
more unanimous. Kentucky had no heart for
this civil war. She thought and felt that it
ought not to have .been, and hoped Her voice
for peace would be heard. When she found
that hope was vain, she girded on her armor
and determined to strike for the Constitution,
the Union, and the flag. Last in the field, she
wants to be first in the work of restoration.
I have felt and hoped with Kentucky, and my
heart and judgment are still with her.
If Congress is prompt and efficient in action,
with efficient aid from the Executive Depart
ment, I see no reason why the Constitution
and the Union may not be restored within the
next ninety or one hundred days, and more
than half this immense army restored to their
peaceful homes and their usual industrial
pursuits. May God grant this and give ns
peace and a happy reunion, and enable us and
our children and our children’s children,
whenever this day shall return, for coming
centuries to appreciate and aot in accordance
with the farewell advice of Washington, and
make those who have engaged in this civil
war, and those who have sympathized with
them,_ and their -posterity as loyal to the
Constitution, the Union, and the laws as
Washington himself, and cause the enemies
of the Constitution and the Union to become
the friends of both.
S&- The Detroit Free Press thinks the re
bellion will soon be at an end, but, it well and
truly says, " the causes of future insurrec
tions will linger in the body politic just so long
as in any part of the country the doctrines of
secession or of abolition are tolerated. There
can be no permanent peace, when men are
allowed to preach'the “higher law” and
“ irrepressible conflict," or the right of States
to defy trie General Government. All these
are treasonable. They baye bred civil war,
and were intended to breed it. They are
unclean spirits which possess the nation, and
must be cast out if we would return. to our
old happiness and prosperity.”

GEN. CASS AT DETROIT.
An address from the veteran statesman,
Gen. Cass, formed a part of the observances
at Detroit on the 22d ultimo.
The General in answer to repeated calls,
oatne forward and said that be was not pre
pared to make a speech on that occasion ; that
he should consider it ill-timed to make one
after listening to the address just read. It
would be presumptuous to attempt to give
force to its admonitions. It was a prophetic
voice from the tomb, one not to be lightly re
garded, and it was the duty of every citizen to
take serious thought of present events, and
ponder well the teachings given by Washing
ton. It was good for all to meet on this natal
day, and it was especially good now, when our
country is rent with strife—a country which
has possessed greater, freedom than has ever
fallen to the lot of any Government. But
lately we have heard the cry from a portion of
it, “To your tents, O, Israel I” Their hosts
are endeavoring to destroy this Temple of
Liberty which Washington has bequeathed to
us, they are striving to pull down its pillars,
and crush us in its fall, but, said the speaker,
with earnest emphasis, “ they can’t do it /”
The applause which followed the remark was
absolutely deafening and again and again the
cheer was taken up until the hall rang anew.
The General repeated the remark with even
stronger emphasis, and the applause was re
newed. Our glorioas fabric, continued the
speaker, shall still survive, protected by our
brave army and navy, and defying the storm,
it shall still stand and spread its shadow far
and wide like the “ shadow of a great rock in
a weary land.”
_ There have been many causeless insurrec
tions ; rebellions have often appeared on the
page of history, bat never before was there
Buch a rebellion as this. Previous to it no man
could rise up and say that he bad ever receiv
ed any injury from the Government ; from
Maine to Texas every man sat under the
shadow of his own vine and fig tree, and there
was none to molest or make him afraid. Such
a spectacle as this rebellion waß reserved for
the present generation to witness. It is a
time, however, to congratulate ourselves on
the patriotism, the wisdom and firmness, which
the loyal American people have exhibited.—
From every town and hamlet they are pour
ing their strongmen into the field, and, thanks
to God, we are being victorious. Qe spoke of
witnessing the honors paid to Washington on
the occasion of his Eastern tonr, and of the
entbosiasm that everywhere abounded. In the
address to the Senate announcing bis death he
was characterized as “first in peace, first in war,
first in the hearts of his countrymen.” Many
years have passed, and this judgment has been
confirmed. Of all the heroes ot ancient or
modern times, whgse deeds have not perished
with them, whose names are inscribed upon
the scroll of fame, the brightest, the purest is
the name of Washington. The conclusion of
the remarks, as indeed every sentence, was
greeted with tumultuous applause.

MICHIGAN DEMOCRATIC CONVKN-
Detboit, March,fi.
The Democratic State Convention met in this
city yesterday* and was organized by -the elec
tion of H. H. Riley, of St. Joseph oounfcyfias
permanent president. Thejattendance was very
large. Fully five hundred delegates were pres
ent, and the proceedings harmonious through
out. It was deemed inexpedient to nominate
candidates for State officers at this time. Res
olutions were passed expressive of the position
of the democracy of Michigan in the present
crisis, and promising its support to the Govern
ment in all constitutional nieans to suppress
the rebellion, and opposing-the termination of
the war until all resistance to the Government,
under the Constitution, everywhere
Abolitionism is strongly denounced, as equally
guilty with Southern Secessionism, and the
speedy extinguishment of both hoped for; ap
proving of the modification, of Fremontfs pro
clamation and Cameron’s report, and of the
appointment of the present Secretary of
War, as an indication that the President will
adhere to the Constitution, and denouncing
corruption and extravagance, and demanding
honesty and economy in the administration of
the Government.
CAMERON PUGNACIOUS
The Washington correspondent; of the
Philadelphia Evening Journal , of March 4th,
says : Last Dight an altercation occurred at
Willard’s Hotel between the late Secretary of
War, Gen. Cameron, and Mr. Van Wyck,
Chairman of the Congressional Committee
The late Secretary was hot and choleric, and
wanted a pretext to whip the Chairman ofthe
Committee; but the latter was cool, and de
clined politely, but firmly, to accord that favor
to his very urgent assailant, who was obliged
reluctantly to subside, without a fight over the
grievances inflicted by the Committee.
