The Rebellion against Davis,
We have Hover sincerely believed in; any
real disaffection towards Davis among the
class of men who may be said to compose
the Southern Confederacy. This remark
will be better ‘understood when we com
pare the tone of Southern sentiment with
what wo , see in the. North. In the South
there are'two classes—What may he called
the governing class and the producing class.
The predominance of each is marked by
the wealth and-temper of the States. Vir
ginia is a governing State, because the
interests of the people were in large plants--
tlons and works of general and local im
provement, Virginia was the mother of
slavery. The eastern'counties, with planta
tions, were permitted to overshadow and
oppress the western, although' Yankee
enterprise is. rapidly showing that in the
Kanawha Valley there is more yrealth’thau
in the eastern border of the State. 1 abor
is developing the riches of West Virginia,
and labor is not a characteristic of the old
Virginians. In South Carolina and Ala
bama the same feeling exists, and in some,
parts of Louisiana and Georgia. In North
Carolina and,Tennessee, and north
ern parts of Georgia, we find the
manufacturing and agricultural com
munities. Tie people labor , and are
attached to freedom, but as yet they
have taken no way to show their do
votion to freedonj. Under wise laws, and
with a civilized and rigorous administra
tion, these communities might have become
as prosperous as Pennsylvania or New Eng
land. The war has not properly educated
them, and thus far the leaders of the re
bellion have succeeded in repressing and
crushing any feeling of loyalty. The poli'-
'cy of Sherman has been directed towards
this class, just as the policy of Butler was
directed to the former class in New Orleans.
Sherman finds a people predisposed to loy
alty, for their interest is not that of slavery.
Butler found a people predisposed to re
bellion, for their interest was with slavery
they were leaders in the Confederate con
spiracy ; they gloried in its growth, and la
bored for its success, Butler properly
crushed them. finds a thrifty,
honest, progressive; industrious people.
The rebellion has ruled and intimidated
them, and ha destroying the rebellion we
enable them to Bssert their power, am.
man caresses Savannah, and properly
does so.
We assume this proposition: when the
laboring people'of the Southern States are
enabled to exercise their political rights we
shall have permanent union. In other
words,when labor is allowed the Ballot labor
will assume dignity, and when once its
dignity is assured we shall have perpetual
freedom. If every owner of a Northern
mill were allowed a power in the State to
whish his workmen could not aspire, we
should have aristocracies in Philadelphia
and Lowell as offensive as those ip Rich
mond and'Charleston. But our laws make
all men equal, and labor with a ballot be
comes manhood in the North, while labor
without a ballot becomes treason in
the South. We think this principle,
once established, will secure us,a true
and rapid method for reconstructing
the Union. Let us slay the leaders and
strengthen the people. With Davis and
the insurgents, of course, there can'
"be no terms. They are* against the Union
because it affords them no means of
advancement. Republican Government
means the happiness of the many-—the
wealth of the many—the political advance
ment of the many. Look at the men who
stand before the world as the leaders of the
North and the South. . Davis is the crea
ture of an aristocracy. He was educated
at the expense of the public, and from his
boyhood he was in the service of the Go
vernment. He never knew what labor
was. He never knew what it was to work
for his bread and education. Lincoln is a
laboring man. When Davis was lounging
his hours away on frontier posts, Lincoln
was chopping wood and studying law. ,He
was once a village postmaster, and after
wards served two years in Congress. But,
with this exception, Mr. Lincoln never
earned a dollar that did not come from his
own toil. Therefore, this war is the strife
of two systems, and we shall see it succeed
only when the system that Lincoln repre
sents triumphs, over that represented by
Davis, , -.
We seeindieations of its triumph in the
Southem States. The laboring men of
Louisiana,' Arkansas, and Georgia hate
made themselves a power in their. States.
They have done this by the aid of the
Federal Government. AM., although the
work has been slowly done, it has been
most effectual. We, read that a grain of
mustard seed became a great tree, upon
whose branches the birds of Heaven sang.
The growth of free labor ini the South will
become as abundant and manifest. We
see evidence of its strength .from day to
day, in what may be called rebellion
against Davis. And we shall watch it
with the., earnestness- of war- weary men,
who look longingly for peace. .
General Officers.
More than once we have been asked
whether the number of General officers in
our army is proportidnably greater or less
than that in the military forces of England,
We reply that our want of general officers
is about equivalent to the tuperdbitndanee
of them in England. The statistics of our
own force are to be found in the army list,
and need not be crowded in here. The
British statistics, oh the particular point in
question, maybe of interest; and we, there
fore, subjoin them. ,
The entire British army, employed at
home and in the Colonies, : (which now in
clude the Fast Indies,) amounts to 230,918
men—artillery, cavalry, and' infantry—
maintained, in, “these piping times of
peace," ; qt, a yearly cost of 174,000,000. Of
these about one-fourth, or from forty-three
to fifty'thousand, are quartered in Great
Britain and Ireland. Let W see how this
force, actually less than Pennsylvania could
readily raise on an emergency, is officered:
Tn October, *1862, the date of the latest British
.Army List in our possession, there were,
three Field Marshals, 66 frill, Generals, 106
Lieut.- Generals, 170 Major Generals; 10
Generals and 80 Major Generals on half
pay ; 10 Generals and 1% Major Generals
on unattached pay of twenty-five shillings
Sterling per 'ttay;; 8 frill Generals, 28 Lieut;
Generfcjs,.34 Major Generals, and 10 Bri
gadier-Generals' having local, temporary,
and honorary rank. Maying a folal of 6&e
tGoaerals In the British army of 220,918 of
all Wins, or one general to every 805 men,
officers included. Contrast this withtlie
positive want of Generals in our army,
where, ik many instances, Colonels and
Lieut. Colonels have to .command divisions
in'the field, and the difference will be sur
prising. 1 If it be asked why has England
bo many of these officers of high rank—
there also being 506 full Colonels, each of
whoni nay hope to become a General,'if
he survive Wng enough—the rkkay
that the army and the navy are held there
as establishments Out of'which'tke sons of
the aristocracy, the governing class, can
be maintained, _ from the moment they
leave school, out of money annually raised
by heavy taxation from the industrial
classes, who constantly toil, and are barely
able to keep the wolf from their own door.
Any one can see at a glance how different
the British system is from oars, and we
shall not insult their common sense by
suggesting which is best.

The rebel Bag of Fort Flatter was delivered to me
on board the steamer Spalding, off that place, ye*,
terday morning, January lßth, bj Major General
Terry. , ,
An acknowledgment and thanks for their gallant
achievement wag given m your same to Admiral
Porter and General Terry, from whom the following
particulars were obtained ;
The troops arrived off Fort Fisher on Thursday
night. On Friday they all landed, under cover of a
heavy fire from the squadron. A rooonnotssanae
was made by Gen. Terry. On Saturday, a strong
defensive line against any enemy’s fbroes corniest
.from Wilmington waseatabUshedand held by 4,090
men, chiefly colored troops, and an assault was de
termined upon. The assault was made on Sunday
afternoon, at half-past ih’oloohl The sea front of
the fort hsdjbeen greatly damaged and broken by a
continuous and terrible fire or the fleet for three
days, 'and: the front .was assaulted at the
hour mentioned by a column of seamen' and
marines 1,800 strong, under command of Gap-'
vtato Breese,: They reached the parapet, bat, after
a short conflict, this calumnwas cheeked, driven
back In disorder, and was afterwards placed on the
defensive Use, taking the place of a brigade that'
was brought up to relnforae the assaulting column
of troops, Although the assault on the seafront
failed, It performed a very useful part In diverting
the attention of the enemy, and weakening their
resistance to the attack by the troops on the other
side. •
The assault on the other and most difficult side of
the fort was made by a column of 8,000 troopsof the
old 10th Corps, led by/Col.. Curtis, under the Imme
diate supervlfloc of General Teirv. The enemy’s
force In the fort was over 2 200. The conflict lasted
for seven hours. The works were so constructed
that every traverse afforded the enemy a new de«
fenslve position, from whence they had to be driven,
‘They were 17 In number,and the fight was car
ried on from traverse to traverse; for seven hours.
By a skllfally-dlreoted fire thrown Into the tra
verses, one after another, they were ocoupled by the
enemy. Admiral Porter contributed to the auooeßg
of the assaulting columns, and. by signals between
himself and General Terry at brief Intervals, this
Are was so well managed as to damage the enemy
without Injury to our troops.
At about 11 o’olock p. M. the enemy were entirety
driven from the fort, and forced down towards
Federal Point, followed by a brigade of our troops,
and about midnight General Whiting surrendered
himself and his men to General Terry, uncondi
tionally, as prisoners of war, numbering over 1,800,
the remainder of his force being killed and wounded.
Our loss was not accurately ascertained on Monday
afternoon, tat was estimated at between 700 and
800 In killed and wounded, besides the navslloas,
which was slight, not exceeding 100 to tolled and
wounded. Not a ship nor; a transport was Tost.
General Curtis was severely, tat not mortally
wounded, Col. Bell died of his wounds on Monday
morning. Col. J. W. Moore and Blent. Ocl. By
man .were tolled. Col. Pennypacker was badly
wonnded, also JUent. Uol. Coaß.
A complete list of the tolled and wounded till be
forwarded as soon as it can beprepared. .General
Terry reported lo Surgeon General Barnes Hurt be
had amplo provisions of surgeons, nurses, and hos
pital supplies for the wounded. 1 They will be sent
North to their raspeotftrtfStates as fast as they can
be placed on transports, or whtoh there is an ample
supply, j ■ _ .
On Monday mornlsg, between c and f o’closk, the
megaztue or rcrf Ficher exploded, tolling and'
wounding ; two; or three hundred persons.
After the capture of the fort all the froops
were withdrawn, except one brigade,’ left to
charge qf the works. How. the explosion be-,
eurredAvatf not known, bnt General Terry believed
ft was occasioned by accident or negligence. Gen.
Hoke’s division, reported as five thousand strong,
was at’ Wilmington. A portion of It was thrown
into the fort not long before the assault, and while
that was going on a demonstration waamade by
Gen. Hoke against our,defensive line, but ft was
found too strong for anything more than a skirmish
ing attack. About eleven o’clock on Monday morn
ing a heavy cloud of smoke was observed over the
ftrt (Smith) on the south sldeof Hew Inlet. The
naval officer commanding that Station reported that
the enemy-had fired their barracks, and had evacu
ated that fort.
Yottwlll be pleased to know that perfect harmony
■ and concert of actlon existed between the land and
* Aaval forces and their respective commanders. Ad
miral Porter and Gen. Terry vied in their commen
dation each of the other. Eeach eeemed more anx
ious to do 'justice to the other than to claim any
thing for himself, and they united In the highest
commendation of the naval and military officers
and the forces engaged. To this harmony of feel
ing and the' confident spirit .inspired may perhaps
be attributed to somedegree the success of our at
tack, with nearly equal numbers, against a re
solute enemy, to a work unsurpassed, if ever
equalled, tovstrength, and which General Beaure,
regard ’a few days before prononneed Impregna
ble. The armament of the fort was 7J guns, some
of large oallbre, and rifled, and one Armstrong
gun. The troops to tiie fort had rations for sixteen
days. Their loss to tolled and wonnded was be
tween four and fivo hundred. Gen. Whiting had
three wounds to the thigh. 001. Bamb, also, who
bad gene Into the fort with reinforcements, and to
relieve General Whltlng x on Sunday, is wounded.
On Monday everything was quiet as'a Sabbath
day; the dead were being buried, and the wonnded.
collected and placed to transports mid field hos
pitals. ' :

forces from Savannah last week, The 15th and 17th
Corps went to transports to Beaufort on Saturday,

large population to he supplied, no credit or money,
no commodities to exchange, and there can be no

cotton and products now within Savannah belong to
the Government as captured property. '
Stringent precautions against supplies that might
goto the enemy have been made, and will be en
forced by General Sherman.
The cotton captured in Savannah, of which there
is a good deal of Sea Island, has been turned over

terial damage.
These vessels have laid avedays under a fire from
Fort Fisher, anchored' less than 800 yard* off, and,
though fired at a great deal, they were seldom hit,
and received no Injury, except to boats and light
matter about the docks, whloh'were pretty well out
to pieces. Compared with the Ironsides, their fire
is very slow, and not at all calculated to silence
■heavy -batteries, which require a rapid and oon
tlnnons fire to drive the mou from their guns; Vnt
they are famous coadjutors in afight, and put in the
heavy blows which tdu on the casemates and bomb
proofs. ■ .- ■ j
Tbe smaller class of monitors, as at present con
structed, will always require the aid of a steamer
to tow them and take earn or thorn. In smooth
weather they ought to go along by themselves, and, 1
when towed, the tow-rope should- never be less than
two hundred fathoms In length. It strains them
very mnoh to have a short tow-uno.
Admiral Porter also says he has never yet seen a
vessel whlcb'oame up to his Ideas of what Is required
for offensive operations so mnoh as the'New Iron
sides, She combines very many good qualities, the
most important being the comfort with which the
people on board of her live, though she would be no
match for the Monadnook In a fight, the latter
having more speed.

Every effort' was bring made to reconstruct the

this Is their main road by which they get supplies

WABHIFQTOH, Jan. 18.—The Richmond Sentinel

return to Washington, Thereat* many rumors
•float a* to the object of hlsvlsit, and iw a matter
of Interest to enrreaderr. bnt without vouching for
Its correctness, we give the prevailing opinion:
It Is said-that Mr. Blair sought an Interview With
the President ostensibly for the purpoeeof procur
ing certain captured documents, and that. In. the
coarse of the conversation, Mr. BVrtr tbhohed ojj
the subject of peace, bat admitted that he
bad no authority to negotiate on the 'subjeot.
The answer of President Davis is said to have
been thattho Confederate government was now, as
It bed always been, ready to receive properly au
thorized commissioners from the United States, or
to send commissioners to that Government to ne
gotiate a s.ettlementef the difficulties existing." ,
The Enquirer of Monday says! “It Is believed
Mr. Blair returned toOtty Point on Saturday, with
the simple assurance that this Government has at
all times been- ready and’ willing to send or to re
ceive commissioners to treat upon terms of peace—
nothing more nor less. It ts said that upon this
assurance Mr. Blair bates the hops that the uii.
coin usurpation will accede to the appointment of
snehaoommlHlon, and that a confab on the sab. *
jeot of peaoe will probably take place, bat there
will be no cessation of hostilities in the mean
time.**
The Eesminer of Monday says: “Sir. Singleton,
from Illinois, arrived fit-Richmond on Sunday, and
reiterates what Is said as to Blair."
