PREPARATIONS FOR THE CONFLICT..
Contrary to expectations, yesterday's air-carnival
of tN•Furies has been but mildly repeated to-day,
.and•the army has continued its passage of the river
with'little molestation from the enemy's shells. The - ,

in playing on the bridges, and recourse is .
thadtto • firing upon our men as they siescend the-
.eloperi leading to them. This, to-day, has been effec
tive to a moderate degree only, and, considering the
brief nature of the several attacks, the- rebels are
evidently saving their ammunition for a more pro
inising onslaught. This will probably be offered
them to-morrow, as the army will then have com
pletely crossed, and will advance upon their posi-,
Of,the Perinsylvanians wounded yesterday,

division.' The whole number.' of wounded among
Sumner's troops, thus far, has been ninety-eight;
the killed are less • than 'twenty. There are
no killed or wounded • yet rePorted in Dela
ware, Maryland, or New Jersey. regiments. In
Franklin's grand division,, it is reported that
. five men only wore wounded. These were from the
33d New York. Gen. Newton's division were
thrown across the river' yesterday afternoon, but
with °the exception of Gen. Devin's brigade were
ordered back for the night. To-day the whole Grand
Division, consisting of Reynolds' and South's army_
corps, passed over, as also thlitie„ regiMents of
Coneh's and Wilcox's corps, Sumner's Grand
111011, which yet remained behind. ' It' has been
thought adViiable to retain Hooker's 'Grand Dirt
:Edon, containing the army corps of Stoneman and
'Butterfield, until to-morrow, fearing to crowd the
-city too much with troops, in case •irshould be
shelled during the night, and also as a precaution
` . .againstan attack of the enemy upon our rear, incase
hisright should have crossed the liver at a point
lower down, and advanced this way. The army
corps of Sigel and Slocum were advancing yester
day to our support, but cannot reach us in time for
to-morrow's action. As matters,. therefore, stand
this evening, Couch lies in the right portion of the
city, along the banks, and through the first three
streets parallel with the flier ; Wilcox in the same
selative position in the left part of the city, and
•Franklin below the city.
-- MATTERS IN •FREDERICKSBURG.
The men to-night are bivouacking in the Streets,
which are quite muddy. • But few are allowed to
sleep in the houses. They would not then range
themselves rapidly in case of an attack, nor.be under
the eye of their officers. Sleeping in mud has its
objections, therefore every imaginable description of
timber, including fence rails, fence boards,' firewood
and lumber from both the interior and exterior of
houses - is knocked away and lahl upon the ground
for protection. To avoid attracting:the enemy's fire
to especial points, no fires are allowed in the city,
but tolerable comfort is obtained by three men lying
together in their great coats, and clubbing their
blankets. -Certain lucky ones enjoy the luxury of
feather beds or mattresses, of which every house has
.been emptied. Three days' rations are now again
-being issued, and a good meal is procured with the
aid, of certain , stray turkeys and chickens, and an
'abundant provision of fruit preserves which nearly
all the families had laid up for the winter.
- I returned here this morning from Burnside's
headquarters, I found the town throughly cleansd
of rebel sharpshooters, and every house pillaged.
Men had brought , rich velvet-cushioned sofas, set
tees, and chairs- into the street; With eintilarturnir
- tare of less pretentious but interestingly antique
description, and planted the in the' mud, where
they sociably chatted and smoked. .Much.wanto i t
destruction did not occur ; enough was acComplisged„
by the shells; but every needed kitchen utenail k and .
every ornament of a size suitablefoitransfiortation,
was seized, including bed-covering and clothing of
any kind. Many rich table-covers and handsome
shawls of ladies have also been appropriated to the
nightly comfort of the soldiers. Fanciful corre
spondents of other papers may stater that the mea
arrayed themselves in masquerading attire, with
- bonneta„andpetticoats; or other grotesque garb.'
Thitaveis not the case. - objectsnf plundet chre
taken in a quiet, matter-of-fact way, and the only
unmilitary article I saw upon .a soldier was a white -
beaver hat. War is no longer fun to our soldiers.
It is mere duty, and becoming very wearisome. An
engagement is now entered upon without zest, and
with an unconcern almost stolid, as the sailor climbs
the. giddy Mast in a storm. The danger has• been
often met, is thus far harmless, and has-lost its ter
rors. Among both officers and men, in the face of
to-morrow's fearful battle, there is the same amount
of hard swearing, the same readiness to enjoy er
joke, the same interest in general subjects,
and the same desire for a good supper, as could`be
experienced in the profoundest peace.. Earnest
minds there are, notwithstanding, who realizt:itheir .
peril, .and are nobly prepared to meet it. Among
these may be mentioned'Gen. Howard and his little
circle of staff officers, who, previous to the breakfast
-hour, havea chapter read by the assistant adjutant
general, and subsequently kneel to pray. There are
ample instances to prove devotion not essential to
animal courage, but the division of that general will
be one of two that open the battle to-morrow in a
•forlorii hope upon the enemy's batteries. It heti
been often tested, and can be relied on.
A. CHILD KILLED DURING TILE BOMBARD
.
A most: distresaing feature of yesterday's bom
bardment iiits'the death of a young child. As it lay
smiling in its cradle, a shell'burst in the room, and
tare it into pieces. The parents have departed.
Theirname cannot now•be learned. .A report .may
be spread that Chaplain Fuller, of the 16th Massa
chusetts, was killed yesterday, while accompanying
his regiment, sta. - ti volunteer, in -an - attack upon
houses. It is not true. The deceased was a man
resembling him. . •
-VISITING...ME DWELLINGS. .1 - •
Curiosity,led me into-certain houses. 'The: first
this morning was that of Douglas H. Gordon; .said
to be the -richest man in Fredericksiburg,and pas-.
sessing the handsomest. of the dwellings. General.
'Sully, : son of the celebrated artist, and' himself a.
gifted painter, occupied it_ as his 'headquarters, and,
'after entrance there, pretectedit from pillage. He -
-was contemplating, aria entered, an engraving from:
a little modern picture of the'nnunciation in As-
pinwales private gallery in New York. The face of
the Virgin is admirably conceived, and is a leading
feature of the collection. The paintings were few,
' and utterly unworthy of comment. This I found to
be the case in every house. where I met them. The
:books, of which there were many,
.were chiefly
modern copies of last century's publications.. No
thing indicating a modern stage of thought, or sug
gestive of liberal ideas, was to . be found: Slave-
State citizens are creatures ; of the paid. • Throw
them back sixty years into time, andthey.would be
perfectly at home. Our forefathers would receive
them as of themselves.
iI subsequently entered the house of Wm. S. Bar
ton, State Attorney, William S. Ford, and several
others of similar pretensions; finding the same fea
tures; and an equal amount Of damagehy shells. The
parlors were handsomely furniehed, but totally des
titute of artistic or cultivated taste in the selection
of ornaments. No objects of *Hu were there -to
charm as in Northern di:veiling' ROE the rich. The
gariie I pointed at was letters. I hoped - to find sixne
thing racy in the Way of love epistles, but was disap
pointed. Those could not be left. There were none
but of a most common-place order, Miss Julia, aged
seventeen, writes to her "own precious mother"
that she must expect to see her things looking right
shabby when she gets back, they have•been*worn so
much and constantly." A stmager hint for a new
dress comes in this wise : "Helen wanted me to have
a dress made by her'mantua inake,MadaineVelleito
see my figure look its very best." In a' later letter,
one of two new dresses is to be "ptiffbil with pink,"
and a demand is made for some more'money, for . theJ
young lady wishes a new petticoat—"one that. will
stick out well." Dress, dress, weddings and dress,
bents admirer. bonnets to be altered; wants,
wants, wants, but • nothing to mamma about
admireri, Miss" Hetty, of maturer age, is very
deVout—perhaPs has lost a lover—women must
expend devotion on something. .Her piety
'sometimes verges on eloquence. Mr. and Mrs..
Somebody have nine daughters and three sons, and
all have become professors of religion but one
daughter. Miss Hells/ enjoys a peaceful satisfac
tion. She experiences a severe trial in New York;
when asked to go to the opera with a party. She
has been once, and mourned her sin ; " but nothing
will make me waver this time." Neither does Miss;:
Betty dance. She writes from West Point that
"there is noNtnother girl here who doesn't . dance
beside myself," and is annoyed at being left alone
during parties. Some gentleman promenaded with
her, but feared she was tired, and anxiously pro
cured her a seat. A polka strtickuponti he was Off.
Miss Betty associates much with her married sister,
:and is much interested in natal news. Every:now
and then we are told that Mrs. So-and-so has 'a
"fine boy." She has an indifferent opinion of
cadets, saying they are mere boys, and talk as such. ,
"Miss B." is to be accommodated in theroom with
her at West Point, much to Mies' Hetty's - distress.
She dislikes being with strangers in' this way, and
more especiallY her—" she is so Northern." '
Many most kindly displaysof feeling* are exhibited
'in other lettere by both sexes.- How • vivid and faint
:liar they arel How sad that - theie people
should wage fearful strife with. its ! But, there 14
such' a' thing - as progress. Slavery, the most mon-':
'strew injustice the world has yet' Seen,- icbeing
Worked off, like an ulcer; from our. nation:. These
people have been taught to believe in it as a virtue
and a right, and for its-wicked sake, war'upon us,
S and upon the Union. In defending the l!itter, we

:TOBACCO DISCOVERY;,Z, . •
11 was some time ago ;stated - that mote- thmi
*BO,OOO worth of tobacco et • Fiedertokiinks,ll*
been cicStroyed by order of General Lee, lest it .
should fall into our hands. The .deitruction con
sisted in throwing it into the river, where much'of it
was found to-day by our men, who enjoyed it well,
notwithstanding the soaking it had sustained.
A millrace, running from a point up the Rappa
hannock„ round behisil the town; and einptying
again beldw into 'the liver, was attempted to be
tapped to-day; hut the +my's shells prevented the
work. The tapping will be effected to-night. I
send a. sketch of this stria.m, together with the town
and heights; also, 'a' R chmond paper, which'was
taken during the sackin of the post office. N.

IVIIAT FRANKLIN DID.
Of Franklin's Grand Division, away to the left;

Yet:known at headquarters. The attack wascom
menced by, the . ptipsylyania 4/esery t e corps; under
3d
General . ede,-inclUding — the i2lst Pennsylvania.
They are said to have retired for reinforcements, and'
were atien . gthened on their left by the, other two dt
visions of Reynolds' army corps, commanded by
Generals Doubleday and Gibbons, and on their right
by Dirney's division of Stoneman's army corps, and
subsequently by.the Second and Third divisions, up
der Sickles and",Whiliple.., The army corps of Gen.
Smith;:inider Franklin,operated on the extreme left.
Franklin holds his ground.
The loss has been very heayy, probably far exCeed;
ing that of theenelay, who were in very strong posi
tions upen helgiiti, faced by constant, ranges of. rifle
pits. Few battles have been.fought under more die
adv.antageous circumstances to the attacking army,
yet the elpnce of :victory is strong.. Should the ene
my gain an advantage, they cannot drive us over the
river." l The town find . olo-batteries are an ample pro.

No estimate is yet made of the loss, nor are many
narnes;of: killed and wounded known. Col. Zinn,

while eating hunch with' Gen. Franklin. He will

JIMCTION WITH GENEILU, FOSTER.
• Strypoix, V. December IQ, 1662.
Several days since Gen. Wessel lest thisplace, with
his brigade, for a point .on, the, Ohowan river, in
North Carolina, whence he.effected aluncticui with
Gen. Foster, with whom he is now acting.
A SIICOBtiSFUL BXFBDITION.
Soon after Gen. Wessel-left Col. Dodge with a
portion ,of his regiment and a section of- Follet's
battery; made a, bold dash down to the Clhowan
river; near its junction with the Biaokwater, finding
the opposite shorepicketed by the rebels. He there'
destroyed a quantity of salt that had been smuggled
over from Currituck for rebel use; and started back
via Factory Hill.
Learning that the enemy had a force across the
'river, at South Quay,the Colonel proceeded thither,
and at about 2 o'clock in the morning startled them
in their - camp with a lively administration of
.sphe
rical ease from his howitzers and lead from the
Sharpe's rifles of his dismounted Akirmishers. Seve
ral of them went to sleep forever on the spot ; others
fled back into the forest, and commenced talking
'back saucily with Musketry. Lieut. I,Vilkinson now
broiight his - pieces to bear, and soon if there was a
live rebel in those woods he gave no sign thereof.
The, party then returned to Suffolk. .

ATTEMPT TO CROSS THE '
The 13th Indiana were adyanced as. raimuitthera,
while Colonel C. „C..DOilgeovith Ida _regiment of
mounted rlftes,,and a-body of one lusndred of the
11th Penolyli•ania Cavalry, 'under command of.
Captain - Weed; of that regimezl, prepared to at

under cover of the trees, and a galling fire was
opened on both sides. The chosen twenty cavalry
dashed forward for the river, and were met with a
terrible fire; but the detachment would have gone
on but for obstructions of brush and fallen trees,
which made it impossible for them to plunge into
the river.
Under a fearful fire they fell back a short distance,
and rallied under command of Colonel Dodge, who
100 bravely determined to lead a second attack in
person.
TILE ENEMY'S OBSTRUCTIONS
Selecting Squadron 13, Captain Seibert's troop,
the colonel dashed forward, but was met with the
"same galling fire, and the same utterly impassable
obstructions. Under as hot. a fire as I have ever
seen, with So little: damage done—only four or five
amen and as many horses hit—the - colonel calmly led
his men down the river side to try and find another
• plebe of crossing, but it was not .to be found; the.
enemy. bad obstructed • and defended every point.
Ile,had to return with four men wounded, several
horses hit., and 'two killed. The howitzeis of Lieut.
- Fairgrane, of the Bities, were now in' full play on
the enemy, and soon Captain Howard, with a. how
itzer and two of his rilled'Parrotts, began to, talk'to
the enemy. But they were, too well entrenched to

A BRILLIANT FEAT
It was gallantly. clone by three companies of the'
13th 'lndiana Infantry,' who crossedin a scow, and,
with, regular Hoosier. Tells, rushed on the , astonished
foe. The latter deserted their works and fled, but
fourteen of them were captured, and one-was killed
on the run. The rest got off into the nearlyadjacent
woOda. The commander of the rebel fortifications,
Captain Sykes, of Georgia, who acted, with despe
rate-gallantry; was shot through the shoulder and
hand, was among the prisoners. Colonel Dodge,
Major Wheelan, and a sergeant of their regiment,
the" New York Militia Rifles, - swain their horses
across the river where it was over twenty feet deep,
',some of, the brush having been cleared away. We

A:BUCCESSFUt WITHDRAWAL
,
It Was, necessary to throw our forces back from'
the river; under some cover, until we could see the
strength of The enemy. It was done, and we fell
back, losing only . one 'man killed and . several
wounded by their shells, and a few horses. Captain
'Howard gallantly replied to their infantry for some
time, with severe, effect, but, under orders,. with
drew when It was found that the enemy were- re
ceiving heavy reinforcements from , Petersburg by
railroad, and were already in superior force Before us.
ENGAGEMENT AT ZUNI
*While all this was going on Lieutenant' Beecher,
with :a S ection of-Howard's Battery, and the 58th
regiment Pennsylvania infantry . , were hotly engaged
with the enemy at Zuni, one mile above, where they
had a piece of artillery and some infantry posted be
hind entrenchments. The 68th had two men woun

TUr . RESULTS
We fell back . '
about six miles that night, ind yes
terday leisurely returned to Suffolk. The recon
noissance was a diversion, which was 'well done.
If it was an object to learn what force the enemy
could concentrate on the Bckwater Via the Peters

mond, that object, too,, was accomplished.. • Our loss
is small—not more than five or six men killed, or
more than 20 or 26 wounded . :, Probably .1 dozen or

FEELING OF, Tp.ETSNABITANTS;
With regard to the state Of feeling in Charleston,
' he says'that the unanimity which has heretofore ex
isted no- longer prevails. Constant fears 6f an at 4
tack upon the city by our iron-clad gunboats have
engendered a very bitter. feeling, and divided the
people in two parties, as to the best • course to be
pursued 'in case - our gunboats Sholild succeed in
passing : the forts and batteries; and reach the city.
The ." no surrender' , party are in favor of burning
the place, in' event of this; while the others are
violently: opposed - to such a sacrifice, preferring to
surrender the city. The poorer classes are reduced
to the most pitiable straits, and the bitter feeling of
animosity which prevailed among them, at the be:
ginning of the war, is completely changed, and they
now pray for the coming of-the Yankees to bring
them •food and relieve their distress. There Iva
greater scarcity of - provisions.then has existed, aiid
prices: ere. never known to range as :high before
during . the war. Flour is worth $4B a barrel, tea
- $l6 a pound; good meat 75 cents a pound. The poor
are;all kept at the expense, of the city;
The people expected that-the city would be at
tacked about the 20th of last month; and a very great.
many have left. They are'still.moving- atvay: in
dread of it, and a committee of alderinen was con
vened to render assistance to those who were unable
to get away. Large frame buildings have been
erected at Greenville to accommodate a portion of
them, ,Thegreater-parthin of _the, negines were re
moved to Columbus at the commencement of the
war, and with them are Tom's wife and family.
TTIEFF. DEFENCES
No means of defence is overlooked which can be
adopted:: There are are thousand troops in and
about Charleston, and to new fort (Fort Ripley) has
been constructed near the city. 'A..row of piles has_
-beenplaced across the channel extending from be
`hind Fort Sumpter to - James Island, leaving only
just. Sufficient room for , a vessel to pass, with-diffi
culty. To these plies large rafts , of timber have
been fastened by means,of heavy chains.
TILE RAMS
'The two rams arc both completed, buthare proved
uselesslor offe'nafve operations, the -englhes not be-,

of defende.. The citegro ) - Tom, assisted in building
them, and was able,-therePart, to give the details of
their construction. -The frames are built of timber
eight inches, thieli, covered with one inch plank ;
over this is a heavy armor of two layers of railroad

FAILURE OF THE COTTON CROP
The cotton croplete will be very small and insig
nificant. On the several - islands, excepting Port
Royal and Hilton Head Island, enough cotton may '
perhaps be gathered to pay the expenses incurred;:
this, however, is-taking a very favorable view of it. .
The reasons assigned for this large deficit are nu
merous, and among them theTollowing: The ground
was not menured be any extent, and the plantatione
superintended by men who possessed .no knowledge
of ,the manner ob.cultivating the. plant. Many of
these superintendents, to whom' are assigned plan
tations, are young men, wanting the ability even to
manage the Degrees, or properly conduct affairs on
the:plantation.
The deferring of the . payments to the plantation
laborers for three or fiaur months has also produced
dissatisfaction among them. The results of the la
bor, viewed in. a pecuniary light, are insignificant,
but, perhaps,',Tiite as good as was anticipated here. .
The corn, potatoes, riee,'&c.., raised by the negro la
' lior are nearly suAeient to support those originally.
belonging: to. the islands . ; • but many others have
come in who-have to'be provided for. The corn and
' potatoes the Degrees „were sufficiently provided to
plant in misery' and most . of these•crops were in the
ground,,onthe soil prepared for them;.before these
. euperintendeats took charge of the plantationit, ,The
cotton wow not planted until after the proper sea
son, andthis cause, with the, bad working,, and the
. .
cotton-worm, will account for'the small restilti.
-togetherolot- over two hundred thousand pounds of
ginned: cotton will be sent North. This I consider a
very fair estimate.. • - •

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, Dec. 8, lam
To the Editor of the Whig;
I have read your editorial in the Whig of this
morning, and return you my thanks for your prompt
and emphatic denial of the allegation that I wax
favorable to a reconstruction of the Union.
opinion upon this subject has been freely expressed
on all proper occasions—in messages, in proclania
lions, and in conversations. I quote from my meit.
sage of January 6, 1862:
"The occurrences of the past nine months have
demonstrated conclusively that we cannot live to..
gether as equals under the Government of the Uni-
ted States ; and the habitual violation of the pre.
visions of the Constitution, and the open disregat4
of the laws by President Lincoln and his officials
render governmental association between us impossibd. •
Mutual respect between the citizens of the Southera
Confederacy and those of the North has cease_d_
IlittitaTlTSfilikh - riff'irriitiiiir : gain' will by mutual
.aversion. No government can be enduring whisk -•
does not possess the affection and respect of the goo.
verned.
"It cannot be that the people of the Confederate •
States can.again entertain a feeling of affection and
respect for the Government of the United States.
We have, therefore, separated from them; and now'
let it be understood that the separation 'is and ought
to be final and irrevocable; that Virginia ' will, un
der no• circumstances entertain any proposition,
from .any quarter, which may hays:for its object a
restoration or reconstruction of the late Union, oa
any turas 'or conditions whatever.,'" •
1 quote also from my proclamation, datbd June `2l,
t 862 ;
"The people of- Virginia, by overwhelming ma
jorities of their Convention and Legislature, have
solemnly announced to the world the purpose of this
Commonwealth, under no conceivable circumstances
again;to acknowledge-allegiance to, or unite the des.
tinier of our people with those of the United States,m
The Course -they pursued previous to the war wail
more than sufficient to justify our separation from
them : but their disgraceful violations of the Consti
tution; and of plighted faith-since - the war; theit. ut- -
ter perversions - of. truth ; their reckless disregard
of justice 'antra the rights of property, and their de
parture, in numerous instances, front the usages of
civilized -warfare ; the invasion of our homes, ant
the murder of our peaceful citizens; render a conges
tion with them in Wive odious to our senee'of hconoc
`and abhorrent to our feelings. It has produced as
estrangement enduring as if there was an imps&
sable gulf between us.
From the time. Virginia seceded-I-have always beak.
opposed to reconstruction.
lt.o . nly,remains for me to add that I- have no pew
sonar acquaintance with Mr. Fernando Wood, do not
know' - that haye .ever seen him,- and have had.
neither 'correspondence nor communication, directly
or indirectly; W i th before or since this - wir
commenced; I state further, that I have had no eon
muaication, verbal or written, with any Northam.
man, upon this subject, since, Virginia seceded.
Respectfully, JOHN LETCIERR..

'LINCOLN'S MESSAGE.
Lincoln, iri regard to the - general scheme of eraser
eipation; to which. almost the whble of his • message
is appropriated deserves. at least the praise due to
perseverance. This scheme, whether as stated in the
beginning in his proposition Congress, and
ratedelabo
in his interview with the border State Congress
men, or whether taken In the new dress given it is
the message, has, perhaps, as little in it as anything
that ever came from an official source. It pleases
Lincoln,,doubtless;aa he turns it over in his mind
he forgets the alarms of the crisis, And feels that he
is solving problems and winning fame. It la- pose
playing with a ball.
His proclamation will go into effect on the Ist of
JanuaiT, so far as he can give it eflbet. Of course
his grand specific for the present maladies will then
fall through. " Compensated emancipation" will
have been Superseded. by the proclamation- of
universal and undonoitional emancipation. So that
Lincoln's plan for "saving the Union" rests upon the
adoption of his proposed constitutional amendmerita
by two-thirds.bi both houses' of his Congress, and
then upon their ratification by every State in his do-
minions, and by .seven of the States of our Confedera
cy; all to , be donebetween the present time and tile
ist of January next, just three weeks and two days•
bylhe calendar; • • • -
Neither House will probably adopt the propoeed ,
amendments by any vote, at any time, much less br
a two-thirds vote, and without debate. There is no •
probability in the world that s majority of Lincoln'O•
States would ratify them ; much less, if possible,
that all of them would. • It is the extreme of absur
ditY to' suppose that a. single Confederate , State
would listen to the proposition at all ; much more,
if possible that seven of them would adopt it.
To imagine that all these impossible things can be'
done between this and January next, isanother eir•
cumstance of folly that aids to - stamp the whole
scheme with ineflable stupidity. It looks, Jude* .
more like "a littlejoke" than a serious juropositiori,
The 'above 'remarks refer to the practical difficull
ties which beset the adoption of the plan. But the:,
plan itself is no less absurd. It proposes.to, restore:
the Union upon the condition that the institutions-,
of the Cenfedertite. States shall be made to agree •
with those of the present United States. It puts the
yoke of despotism upon.us in the very beginning. It
does not leave us to regulate our domestic matters ,
in our own way, but requires us to conform them to
the will of the Yankees. This is simple subjugation:'
Lincoln proposes to reduce us to it by offers of pur
chase, after failing by attempts at force. He will
:find Confederate honor. equal, to Confederate valor.
,He may figure it out to his sfitisfaction—and he doeesm,
it plausibly enough:---that he would save money
-thus buying instead of conquering us. The argumentUF
'may. be a forcible one with his own people ; butt
should knowoind he shall know; that Confedera
are not to be bought. OUr liberties and independenct MIS
are not on sale.
But what a_condition itis to which Lincoln w0,644,77_..
reduce us by his plan ! It would turn - loom /ow. ---
us • a population. wh .
ieh, without subordination.
would be our ruin; The African and the Caucassiast •
cannot live together on terms of equality without'
mutual ruin. It could not and would not ,be
dared here. Our Very enemies concur in the gentle -
ment: In the =State where President Linoohi has
• his home; the ingre.ss'of a negro is not allowed. 'The r
.lawifliermit him to find no shelter and no home •
'there:: The same sentiment obtains everywhere is .• •
our enemy . 's country.:. A few-, are tolerated, but *
chiefly on condition that
_few -:
be runaways from ,
'.their homes and duty.
In the event contemplated by Lincoln, the - freed
negroes would net he allowed to go North. Lingle
'expresaly tells his people they can always determine
that question for themselves. They have determined
it.' Even now something like a panic, with ayeap•
• toms of riot, is visible, because . of the stolen negroes
who have been carried there from necessity.
• _Lincoln,' indeed, in his "•plan" says something. .
about' deporting the blacks to some other country;
but,:alarmed at the opposition which Yankeedoin
would make to the proposition, he carefully explains
. that it, means . nothing. The consent of Congress.
that is "of the Yankee States, would have to be ob.
tained. The consent of the negro would have to be
obtained. The consent of the foreign country to
which it would be proposed to send him would have -
to be obtained. These three conditions, all of which
would have to concur, would all fall, The Nortk
never' would consent. The negro never would Don
sent. And, of foreign Governments, Lincoln tenet
us in his message that he has not as yet found -one
that will allow him to transport thither the negroes
he has stolen from us. if they reject these compare =
tively few, of course they
would reject the multi
tude. Liberia and H 1 a
are the only places open
to the negroes; and toLLiberia and Hayti Lincola
says they are not willing to go: •
It follows that the freed race would, according to •
Lincoln's " plan," inevitably remain here under cir
cumstances ruinous to them and intolerable to us.
From such a conditiop of society every feeling of our
'• nature revolts. • To such a condition Lincoln's "plan"
proposes to reduce us. The man who could propose -
such a scheme might wellapeak, as Lincoln brutally
does of the comparative•unimportance of a people
who. inhabit a country.
. he dest ro yed us he would
congratulate himself that."the land" remained.
But it would not be " one generation" and one race
alone that would feel the curse. His ruin would
come as an abiding blight upon a land now oneof tart;
- brightest spots on the earth and the temporary - ize:.-
terruption of whose industry throws& cloud over the:- -
happiness of the world.
A plan thus impossible of adoption and diabolical
• in its results is Lincoln's bid for immortality.. Truly,
he "will not escape history.y.
The fact is, when the Creator established the
difitrent races of men, He established their position _
and adapted them to their places. That which bar
' monizes with the Creative will is happiness.. That
which opposes it is discord and unhappinees.. The •
riegro, from the time of Cainan, has occupied the
position of a servant. Ile has been fitted for it by
disposition and instinct, and la, therefore, happy in .
it, and is not happy out of it. In. his place he is -•
useful. Out of it he is a mere savage; and if: out, of
it and in the bosom of a community of the, superior
race he is a pest. It is the effort, of the. Yankee-
States to dictate our institutions, and in sci.cloing to . •
ruin us by attempting to amend a decree .of. the -
Creator.so as to make it suit their idejm.that haa
caused the present troubles. Llucoliile..fiablied ea
