-sewniy-contestod battle ever faugh t : bn thir
continent —the rebels employed * foroeof savr
attcs,. whom tbay made -drunk before, the en

on our men. In their intoxication and fury
they Ye3p'ccted'‘nbne bF ffiircstfiblTsKc? usages

condition of wounded men | and afterwards
they scalped indiscriminately both friepd and
foe. ' j ■.T '
The'necountß of tiie barbarities-they commit
(ted, given by apparently trustworthy: corres-
I pendents of both the.casterri and western pa
| pors, are too horrihle to, be repeated or dwelt up
j'on. But the fact shows' the desperation to
Which the rebels, in their numerous recent de
| feats, are driven. It was one off the conjplaints
of the fathers against tho British government
that it had authored the employment of the
murderous Indian.savages against the whites; .
and now.wo find the some odious resort, on the
part of the insurgents. This alone should sep
arate them from the sympathies of the civilized
world. f
Csaf” We arc opt to lay too mjuob stress upon
the opinions of the great men of tho past—the
great and good men whose narties will survive
the wreck of all governments. We are apt to
think' the opinions of such men of far more,
consequence than those of any of the great
leaders of this day and age. Wo are apt to
think that because'the wisdom of the fathers of
the B.uput-I'm, guided the ship of state safely
over the stormy sea of tho Revolution, their
opinions ought to be followed at this time. But
herein we err. Much of the [wisdom pf tho
fathers which we now read with so mucblsatis
faction, was only applicable to the condition of
things then existing. It was only when they
enunciated some great truth, [some. abstract
principle, or some political axiom, such as tire
Declaration furnishes, that iheii - wisdom was
applicable to all times, circumstances, and con
ditions. /
t *
Take Henry Clay for example. In hisj life,
no man was mure traduced, villified, and liolied
by the self-styled Democracy, than he. Nearly
all his political action ,as a partizan of the
Whig party, wos:donouced io terms of extreme
bitterness. A few years after his death, these
same men who had denounced him, could not
find words strong enough with which to jsing
his praises, ‘Why this change? Simply be
cause Clay had done one or two foolish things
to fa\or the slave power, and, being dead,(was
no longer a candidate for the Presidency. 1
An 1 yet it was Clay’s fidelity to Freedom
which giit» him such an intense hold upori the
affections of the .American
dom will ever be cherished. Time cannot; les
i
sen their truth. Slavery itself may become
extinct, and yet these words will live and mark
him as a man, not for a day, but fur all time.
When the Democratic newspapers cite Henry
Clay ns tho great Compromiser between Slavery
and them not forget 1 to say how
earnestly be“looked forward to the adoption of
tho policy of Mr. Lincoln’s late Message; to
Congress. Let them remember that in 1840
Mr. Clay recognized slaves as “ fellow men who
are less blessed than we are,” and that | he
treated with scorn the idea- that slavery was tho
normal condition of any man, or race,; or
color.
Men should be careful not to confound opin
ions of policy -and expediency; with opinions
of abstract principles. The former are for-tho
moment; the latter for all time. {
FREMONT'S EXTRAVAGANCE. j
The Tribune thus effectually disposes of ihe
slanderous falsehoods about General Fremorjt’s
extravagance : "The army that Gen. Fremont
raised, equipped, and armed, and now holds
peaceful possession in Missouri, find has de
feated and driven Price into the wilds of West
ern Arkansas, numbered about 60,000 men.] —
The army of the Union is about 600,000 men,
of ten times as large. As §200,000,000, for
600,000 men are spent in a hundred days, then
the proportion spent of that sum for 60,060
men for the same period would be §20,000.000.
"But Gen. Fremont expended only $14,00Q,-
000 to put on' foot, to organize, to arm his 60,-
0001 men, and to build the gunboats which have
since done such signal service, and to do aiil
the other things which signalized, that cam
paign, instead 0f^>20,000,000. Thera is no
getting awqy from such a fact as this. Ho ex
pended actually one third less, a thousand miles
from the seat of government, surrounded wit|i
obstacles and harassed on every side, than be
was entitled to according to the standard set up
everywhere else. /And yet with all this, he ac
tually did, and was on the poinyof doing what
elsewhere .months of preparation were still
necessary to accomplish, How is iti not aboujt
time that gigantic slander about Fremont’s ex
travagance, with all the rest, was jdead and
hurled ?” ! . j

' The weather for the past week has bcen gv
ery thing but pleasant—it rains. nearly every
night, and often three times a day. We- Pave
new kinds of tents, and carry them in our
knapsacks. They, areubout the size of a large
oil-cloth blanket, fixed so that we can pjit them
together, and make a tent ns large as wo' wish i
.—oaeb man takes one piece—three pieces make
a very good tent. They are oil-cloth, and can
be used foz such while travelling. i
The health of the army is much better than
might be expected, considering the kind l of
weather, and the hardships wa have endured
the past two weeks. It is not an uncommon
thing to wake' up in the night and find yourself
nearly afioat in water. I have seen soldiers
within the past week, lie night, with*
an oil-cloth under them, a wo'olen blanket nest
to them, and sleep soundly by the fire-side,
with the.rain tumbling down upon them for
hours at a time, and sometimes all night.
Six or seven soldiers, were found by the road- ,
side, one week ago yesterday, morning, or the
morning after our hard march, with their b'an
kets for their winding sheets. They tired but
and laid down by the way to rest, but death

Tbe /Vess, of the 23d, infarmed-us that the

friends are os anxious to hear from us, as wo
are to bear from them, the time will drag slow
ly away, while this rule is enforced. That seems
rather hard, still it may bo all right.
Yesterday, I listened to a good sermon in th'e
Chapel of the old Seminary. It seemed good
to once more have the privilege of sitting in a
geo! warm room, and listening to the preach
ing of the gospel. It was (he first time since
last May. A soldier, knows no Sabbath, and
not many days of rest.
I imagine that when wa leave this place, we
will hare all that we want to carry—we will
have all of our clothing, throe dajs’ rations,
our tents, one hundred rounds of cartridges, 1
and uur guns.
It is now evening, and I am seated in my
little tent, with a good warm fire in front, and
my comrades on every side of me, talking of
the prospects of oux. vojaw

which has distracted our once happy country,

SUMMARY OF WAR HEWS
Immense preparations and immense move
ments are in progress on both aides; and there
are many signs that unless sump signal reverse
should interrupt tbe progress of the Federal
arms, the heavy work of the war will'tys over
during the spring.
The state of tilings within the Confederate
limits presents some striking features. There
seems to be an attempt to fortify and hold a
second line of defense nearly along the north
ern limit of the Gulf states from Memphis tot
Chattanooga, the obstinately maintained posi
tion at Island No. 10 being an important out
post. It is impossible to say accurately what
has become of the rebel fon es in Vigioin, but
a message has been sent throughout the South
west by two rohei Congressmen, importing that
Davis himself is coming down there, and wants
every man to take a weapon and come out and
join him in a last desperate struggle. It may
therefore very probably be his plan to resign
altogether, and stake all the fortunes of his
waning conspiracy upon the results of a South
western campaign ; and he and his fellow-ring
leaders are without douht contemplating, ns
one of tbs most desirable points in this plan,,
tbe facilities offered by it for their escape, ns a
last resort, over the line into' Mexico; a pros
pect which, it is hoped, may bo effectually
clouded by a complete possession of the line
of the Mississippi by our forces.
There are signs at tbe same time that the
rebels are expecting great things frlim the
steam rams, or inpregnabie batteries, some
what like the Merrimnc, which they are push
ing to completion at Mobile and New Orleans.
And there are also increasing murmurs against
what is considered the imbecile inactivity of
Davis’s war policy, and the general entire
failure of his financial, diplomatic, and admin
istrative' plans. On tbe whole, tbe situation
of the rebels is sufficiently uneasy.
A strong Federal expedition has ascended
the Tennessee River, wiih troops intendjng to
make a lodgment in tbe region of Northern
Alabama. It consisted of a hundred and thirty
sis.vessels, Many indications of Union, feel
ing were found, a large number of Alabamians
coming in to jo>n the Federal army. An Ala
bama Union regiment is to be raised. Tbe po
sitions of the rebel troops in that region aregrot
clearly known, bnt they ore susposed to have
50,000 or 80,000 men distributed in small
bodies where they can be quickly assembled.
Important action'will in a little time take
place in the Mountain Department, where Gen.
Fremont is to take tbe field at once.. Ho will.
bare a . competent force, and bis operations,
will be of-importanoe in.the campaign.
: The movements of Gen. McClellan and tba
| main army of the Potomac are thus fsr'totally
| secret to the public.' Various facte In oar pos

erotions; but whether these trill result in fight

The only business of Confess during tbe
week which has been of great interest or im
portance, has been the dealings of; the House
with the Tax bill and the trier 'lislngly clear
significance of the debate on points connected
with the slavery question. i
The Tax bill has been-daily debated in tbe
House, but meets with incessant tbstaclek. The
course of the discussion was bridflylas follows:
On the 19th, the forty general provisions which
form'the first part of the bill. were debated,
and with a few amendments adopted. Upon
reaching that part of the bill which (determines
and apportions rates of taxing, 3|r. Davis of
Kentucky made haste to deliver r preposterous
speech, upon the extreme pro-dakery , basis
which the Border-state members o f Congress
have evidently determined to rniiniain; and
which, by tbe way, is a very significant as well
as a very-bad indication of fu ur£ political
struggles over this firebrand of tur u
fitnd was taxed at the South, slaves
to be taxed. As if the South had .
capital of importance ; as if she dasi
clal exemptions. The motion emhoi
precious schema was uf course reject!
On the next two days the sections |
toxicating drinks came under ccinsij
and a sudden and unaccustomed ajcceS
and misplaced joking wasted some of
of the House. No amendments ,hf i
portance were added to the provisions of (lie
bill, except to enact that the taxes laid shall
apply to spirits manufactured before as well as
after f(te date fixed for the bill, Slay, 1862;
and that wholesale liquor dealois shall pay
$lOO a yejar for a license. A motion tu impose
a license fee of 550 instead of S2O on retail
dealers failed. Some other amenc ments were
adopted on the 24th, giving Tennessee until
Dae. 1, to assume her porting of l|he tax,
and exempting from small brewers t lied
of $25 a year, from brokers ’one of $1
from land-warrant brokers one of $25. •
the 25th there was more scnsples j
nqthing being done of the work]”heC)J
House, expept to impose a few ajdditic
cense fees] Mr. Blair of Me. moved to i
by taxing glares for lifeSS each, ami for
of years $3. After debate, and vijdont
sition by t|ie Border-state men, the taotic
defeated, Ijiy 63 to 41.
The slat'ery question, besides Mr.' ’Wicl
gufficienllyt-remarkable effort on the side
Juggernaut, was debated with touches
ness in the discussions in the Senale tipt
two progrssfve measures now before it, th
for the abolition of slavery in the Distr
Columbia, and that for aiding states which
adopt an emancipation policy. These de
ihave shown that the position of the B(
state men does not a whit differ from ti
the extreme traitors, except that they d
pow claim the right to introduce sjlarcrj
territory now free. Bot tbfey do nht disi
any such right. And their course phiinw in
dicates a'determination no less stiff than jVnn
cey or Mason could feel, that their black f alia*
dium shall not be touched nor harmed.
The bill for abolishing slavery in the District
of Colombia came up in the Senate on the
19lh, and was debated then and oil Hie suc
ceeding days. Mr. Doolittle, while ho wmld
vote for the bill, was urgent in favor' of unio
nizing all. slaves thus freed-. Mr. Pomtroy,
the shrewd Senator froth Kansas, On the ether
band opposed paying masters anything aider
the bill, because, he said, slavery exinted it the
District witboutsnny law. And| he jut a tery
close question, whether in some cates it wa
not the slave who should be paid;?. . tVoulc tl
Senate, he asked, let a master turn off h V
an old slave who bad worked for him for
years, and then pay that master for him ? I
"Willey, on the 20th, professed to give
Border-state' platform on this 'question ;
while bo undertook to assert that he- was r
pro-slavery man, and do be in favor.Of the 1
idem's recommendation and of a gradual ai
cipatioo, he nevertheless wdiild n'qt vote foj
bill, would have no emancipation without
nization, and no movement, until after thr
woe entirely concluded; and he also- jnr

with the design that the Constitution' recognised' slavery, and
° that' slavery was the oortnal condition of the
United States, freedom being exceptional, He
made the usual empty claim to .be; opposed to
slavery in the abstract, and said that his plan
would be to adopt a plan of emancipation that
would take about a hundred-years; which, ha
said, would dO/tm'harm. Mr. Morrill annoyed
Mr. Davis by a sly inquiry whether'he meant
that the Constitution recognised the existence,
or the legality of slavery. Davis replied that
the two were synonymous; whereupon Morrill
rejoined by asking whether the -Constitution
recognized the legality 1 of treason because it
recognized its existence? and left Davis floun
dering amongst a lot of unsatisfactory distinc
tions, extemporized in his distress.
