We point to a speech on the outside of this sheet by a citizen of Missouri who has always beeti pro-slavery as evidence of this fact. Let us rejoice then that the world moves, and that in this crisis of our history, so gaud a man as, honest Abe Lincoln is at the helm of our gdo'd old ship of state. We have record to-day of a slight reverse, combined with a reactionary success of the Onion Navy, at Newport News, on the James' river. The reverse recounts the destruction, of two of onr old wooden sailing frigates by the rebel naval monster. ; the Merrimao; end two iron-elad rebel gunboats.
