It soems almost absurd as well as ridiculous tu refute the pro-slavery newspaper assertions, tliat this-war was brought upon the country by abolitioni-itii But those fellows under,-tand that a lie well stuck to. is, for their purpose, ns 'good as the truth ; and their purpose is to'give aid and comfort to the enemy by placing the Unionists in a false position, in hopes that at the dose ; of the war, some new concessions will he-mado to the slave drivers, who now seek to ruin because they cannot rule. , The catuse of the rebellion is thus noted J;y no less a personage than the lion. George Bancroft, the well known historian and a lift lung Democrat in oh oration delivered by him at New York oh the 22d ult., in which, he said; For myself, I was one who desired .to post pone, or rather hoped altogether to avoid, the collision which has taken plape, trusting that society,'by degrees,, would bav& worked itself clear by its own inhate strength and virtue and resolution of the community. But Slavery has forced upon us the issue, and has lifted up Its hand to strike a deathblow at our existence as a people. It lias-avowed itself a desperate and determined enemy nf'our national life, of our unity as a republic; and hence-forward no man deserves the name of a statesman who would consent to the introduction of that ele ment of weakness and division into any new territory, or the admission of another slave state into the Union. . Let us hope rather that the predicton of Washington will prove true, and that Virginia and Maryland will soon take their places ns free Slates by the side of Ohio and Pcnnsvlvuaia.” The publication of the recent Military Or ders of the President of the United States, di recting a rigorous advance on the Rebels at all points,,reorganizing the several Military De partments, and placing John C. Fremonfcatjhe head of one of them, relieving Gen. McClellan from the cummand-in-chief of the artnies of the United States, and resuming it himself, direct ing all the independent Generals to report direct ly to the AVar Department, and dividing the Army of the Potomac into five distinct army corps, under the command respectively of Gens. McDowell, Sumner, Ilintzleman, Keys, and Banks, Gen. McClellan retaining the commnnd in chief of this army alone, placing Gen. Buell under the orders of Gen. llallock, and assign ing to Gen. Fremont the new Mountain Depart ment, composed of Western Virginia, Eastern Kentucky, and East Tennessee, gives renewed confidence in the wisdom anl ability cf Mr. Lincoln. The-Tesponsibilites suddenly devolved on Gen. McClellan, were too vast and bis duties too multifarious for any untried man. They would hare overtaxed the intellect and power of endurance of a Napoleon. Had he been originally called to the command of the Army of the Potomac simply, we believe he would have avoided some grave errors which his mul tifarious and complex duties have occasioned. Now that he is relieved from an enormous and excessive burden, we trust that his future tri umphs in the field may efface all memory of his past short comings; and that a grateful country will fie enabled to inscribe bis name high on the roll of her patriotic soldiers who have served her with eminent fidelity and suc- cess. The-news from New Madrid is still manger, but highly satisfactory. The place is ours ; though the South toasted that it was impreg nable, we took it with little trouble. No rebel Hag now waves in Missouri. After several days’ fighting, and a number of ineffectual ot t.mpts on the part of the gunboats of the ene my, to dislodge Gen. Pope, the rebels evacuated the p ace in a panic on Thursday nigbt, leaving their tents, arms, ammunition, everything. The spoils are valued atovdr 51,000,U00. Our heavy battery was established during tho night of the T2tb instant, within eight hundred yards.of the enemy’s works, and vve opened fire at daylight on the ISlh instant, just thirty-four hours after the guns were delivered from Cairo. During tho whole of Thursday our lines were drawn closer around the works of the enemy, under a fuiious'fire of sixty pieces of artillery. The four of au assault upon their works at daylight induced them to flee precipitately du ring the night. Many prisoners were taken. Our loss is about JCt killed and wounded. Hol lins, who. vvas iu couimandtef'*tj!f— Rebel gun boats,-Inis once more gone down the river.— Ncvv-Madrid being below Island No. 10, should .the Rebels attempt tu retreat that way before tho expedition of Com.

Com, Foote was at liickman at o’clock on Saturday af ternoon, with bis .gunboats and mortar rafts, and probably ere this has made an attack upon the Rebel stronghold below, that is supposing they have not effected another evacuation.— Should they attempt to reach tho Tennessee shore to escape Foote-and Pope, our forces at Paris may come up in -time tu cot off their re treat.’ Thus the Mississippi is practically clear to Memphis, as "Forts Randolph, Pillow, and Harris will probably not Jong retard the pro gress of our victorious flotilla.

Harrisburg, March 14, 1862, Two of the ablest discussions that have oc curred in this Legislature for many years, have just closed, and votes fast evening were taken upon the questions. The one in reference (o re-instating the tonnage duties upon ihe'Penn sylvania Hail Road, hiis been before'the House almost every day for three weeks, and any amountof speeches have been nia le upon it,pro and con. It has been one of the ablest discus sions to which 1 have ever listened. A few members have eminently distinguished them selves, but a fair proportion of the talk upon this, as upon other questions, has been for a local purpose—that i» ito make capital npon whifch to bring the members bnek again. The vote might as well have been taken three weeks ago, but members were anxious to put them solve right upon the record. Yesterday the House held three sessions, devoted exclusively to the final discussion of this Bill, and reached a vote about twelve o’clock last night nnd on the final passage, the yeas were 70, nays, 28. Oaly eleven members outside of Philadelphia, voted against the Bill; tut I am afraid that it will stick in the Sonate.l The position was bold ly taken by the friends Of the Road, that this Legislature could nut inquire into the means by which this Bill was passed last winter, and that if it was unconstitutional, this Legislature could not repeal it, if; third persons had ac quired vested rights under the Bilb It seems to mo that this i»a very dNmgeroos doctrine, and if true, the libortieslof the people are in a very unhealthy condition. John Scott, of Hun tingdon County, made “the speech” in favor of the Road, and held, that if the Legislature “were bribed,” it made l no sort of difference, and that the “acts and motives” of«proceeding Legislature, eould not bp reviewed, by a suc ceeding one. To mo, this is an abhorrent doc trine, What becomes of; tbatoW maxim, “that there is no wrong without a remedy ?” Sup pose that a corporation is able to buy op-a ma jority of the Legislature, nnd transfer to them the permanent revenues of the State ; has the State no remedy ? Take the, case in question; suppose, as is alleged, that improper influences were extended over tbejlast Legislature, and that an unjust and unconstitutional net wa* passed ■, it is clearly a gross outrage upon the peoplo, and have they no remedy 7 Have they no mean-, by which they may regain- their rights? Tiio facts in this case, are briefly as follows: In 1846, the Pennsylvania Rail Road received her charter to rub a road from Pitts burg to Philadelphia, along the line of-tho public works of the State! and to comepensate the State fur the.depreciatian of her works,-the Raiyiuad agreed to pay a tax of five mills per ton, per mile, upon all the freight that passed over the road. In a few years, she came before the Legislature, and asked that the tax be re duced to three mills per ton, arhich was con ceded. In 1858, she neglected to pay her-tax,! and last winter about 8800,000 were due the' state. Executions were i*iued upon tbs judg ments, and while they we*e pending a Bill wa» ■ -introduced into the Legislative, not only'to re- | Ueve them from the tonnage dirties, but to com-! mute the $BOO,OOO already due. The Bill' passed, and it is alleged, and believed, that sev eral hundred thousand dollars we x6 used to se cure its repeal. -This $BOO,OOO was already ap plied’to the sinking fund of the State. Tt had been collected from our people carrying freight over this road, and by a dash of the pea, it was transferred into the pockets of this' company. Was this out a gross outrage upon the people ? . This tax amounted to $300,000 per year, and -without any consideration, was given away for' all time to come. The people, in their sov ereign capacity, lost October put a brand upon all those who thus bartered away their reve nues. Yet men stand up here and contend that ■ the people have no redress 4 j If they have none, | out theory of government is but anTUusion.— | If one Legislature, under the pretended cover of a contract, con vote away the taxing power, and the revenues-of the people, fte shall ere lone find ourselves ontitolyltinjor the conttol stf this huge corporation, Eilt such, I apprehend, j is not the law. Such a decision hits neither ■ common sense, nor commoh justice, and lot (he : Sehate if U dare, refuse tip wishes of our peb plq, plainly expressed in this Hall last evening. , . Last evening, a vole was rerfqhcd in the Sen ate, upon the Resolution, instructing bur mem bers of Congress to, vote lor the abolition of shivery ib the District of Columbia,’upon- such terms as-will be just-townids the loyal slave uwjmtiW. A rambling debate has heeiji kept:up almost the entire week, upon this resolution!.- Tlje whole'field of party politics has jheen dis cussed. The various issues that up in Tioga County, in /IBSG, and |IIB6O, haje taken up the time of the Senate for jan entire .week. The resolution Was carried By a party vote, the entire Democratic delegation, voting agiinst the resolution! I When this! resolution h taken up in the House, I expect a| strong de bate, and my impression is, that it will not pass in its present shape. Every time the slavery question is raised, a Jender point is Mobbed up on, and I have even heard republican■ Repre sentatives express‘thoii' disapprobation of this measure. f ['resident Lincoln’s ! ate message j appears to heiwell received, and the entire'press of the country approve of his views. I cabinot imag ing why any true, loyal, man, can object, - Sla very, all must admit, in the sole capso of this accursed rebellion, ani why should; not the stales have pecuniary tid to rid themselves of this cancer upon ourh)dy politic ?! IJt would benrfeasy task to dem mstrate that this system is the cause of our pref ent troubles.j I jin nll the free state, the people ate loyal.

In South Carolina, where the slave-outnumbers the free population, this rebellion was hatched. Charlestonßas always b>jen full of disloyalty. There the IStars and Sljripis wer first fired upon. In M iry and, Ken tucky, Tennessee and Missouri, thebe are com paratively few slaves, aid in these slates, there has always been a strong feeling inifkvor of the old government. Then why should we object to aiding the nominal slave states, id 1 their ef forts to rid themselves from this admitted evil? This is not without precedent—Englilnd'opened her treasury, and gave freely to her West India colonies, to enable ihem to mnnumitljfaeir slaves —and who should object to our national capi tal standing upon free foil? Does it become n great government like curs, to aid and sustain this institution, when il is trying to| "crush out our national existence ? No one ebn tell! the result of this wnr, hut it is to he . toped that when it is ended, this Question will I be. settled fihallv, one way or ths other.

He says: “ Thus it is that we find them opposing all legislation which looks to the condign punish ment of the rebels, and to the forfeiture of their property. Such acts being, according to tboirl theory, in violation of the Constitution, mustjnot be attempted. They will clamor for a trial by jury fur Buckner, Floyd, Benjamin, Davis, and Beauregard, and, when this is con ceded, will intrigue for- their qcquittal, hailing the occasion as another opportunity to offer a premium for treason, and to- divide and degrade the people of the loyal States. Cold and cal lous while tbeir country is bleeding at all its veins,] they will be most merciful and magnan imous to its betrayers.” ~ SPECIAL NOTICtES. IMPORTANT TO FEMALES!
