ABOLI2IORISM.
There are some egotistically sagacious indi
vidnala and a few pot-house politicians, who
occiutionally exhibit their spleen in denouncing
every uumwho supports this war, as an ilboh-
Weld. With these gentry, the term is designed
to be one of opprobrium, and we have heard it
used; too, by gentlemen who would have the
world suppose that they are the most perfect
christians and exemplary citizens in the land.
The terM'AKtionea has became eo common,
that in many parts of the country it is regard
ed ea the most disgraceful which could be ap
plied to any individual, simply because of the
ignorance and the violence of the men who so
use it. But when we come to examine the
definition of the word and the object of those
to whom it is applied, the term itself is not so
disgraceful, nor will the memory of the men
to wham it is applied now, suffer much hereaf
ter When liberty, truth, virtue and wisdom are
more esteemed then they are now by the mass
of trued led. An Abolitionist may possibly be
a miscreant. If a man seeks to abolish what is
good—if he advocates the disrupture of entire
communities "or proclaimed that it would be
wise and politic to change all present forms of
religion—to give up the Trinity and the God
ilded--to swear hostility to the quality of jus
tiaeltiarlleave the arbitrators of right to the strong
arthstrid c Wage natures of brutal men—if all
this were proposed to he done by asystem of abo
litionism, then there would be some danger in
theyroPosition, scene real cause for - pebile alarm
—sdreepresent and future motive for stern oppo
slain, 'and soiree sense and reason In making
thiltletra 'abolitionist one of opprobrium and dis
gra& littt We deny that a single right, human
or divine, has ever been assailed by the aboll
tiffilete,of thy! country, and while making this
wedo not aammito be the advocate of
11444, faith - pr the defender of their propositions.
#rtnast they are constantly assailed we have a
right to refer to the motives which prompt such
assaults ; and in doing . so, it is well for the
cause of tenth that therpresent is so prolific in
the hotiors. perpetrated by the institution of
eltriery,' else would this whole strnggle, with
its lawful responsibilities and atrocities, be
forced upon the free states. And even with
the enormities of the slave power fresh in the
minds of the American people, there are politi
cians who bluster and blunder on in the same
path which has led to these troubles, and who
are determined .to persist to the end in the de
fence and advoiztcy of slavery.
If slavery had never existed in this country,
rebellion worild.never have had an adVocate' or
adherent. It was not the effort made to abol
ishelavery that has envenomed the tooth of
treat on, . Those who charge these things are
those who are ready to falsify for any purpose, '
regatdless whether it be for the destruction Of.
nations or the annihilation of truth. Our'
only source of discord is centered in this'
institution—our only danger is inculca- .
ted by its teachings—and our only cor

COST OF THE LATE BATTLE.
The Wabash fired, during the entire action,
900 shots, being all 8,9, 10 and 11-inch shells,
with the exception of a few rifled cannon pro
jectiles of a new pattern, and which were used
simply as a matter of experiment. The Sus
quehanna fired 500 shots, the Blenville 185,
and the average of the gdriboats and the other
smaller ships may probably be set down at 150
each. There were, in all, 16 vessels engaged on
our side, and probably froth all of them were
fired not far from 8,500 shot and shell at the
two forts, Walker and Beauregard, the four
gun batteryand the three steamers.

EXCITING MOWS FROM CNIIXDO, IN WAYNN
Pe.—The Wheeling Intelligencer of Thursday
says : A dispatch was received last evening by
she Governor, from Col. Boles, dated Catletts
burg, Ky.; the 12th, •stating that roar thousand
rebels were marching upon the town of Ceredo,
Wayne county, Va. The small force at that
place had fallen back upon Catlettsburg, where
they . had rallied some five or six. hundred sol
diers and Citizens, who intended to defend the
place to the death. Ceredo is only nine mile:,
from Guyandotte. Catlettsburg is at the mouth
of the Big Sandy. The minor portion of
Colonel Zeigler's regiment, heretofore stationed
at Ceredo, were sent up the Kanawha about a
week ago.

VESSELS RUNNING THE REBEL
BLOUICADE.
Ephraim Ellsworth, father of the late Colonel
Ellsworth, has been appointed military store
keeper by the President, but isnot yet assigned
to duty.
The heads of Department have been so much
annoyed by visitors that they have not been able
to prepare their annual reports. They have,
therefore, been compelled to resolve to exclude
all visitors until after the meeting of Congress.
In view of this determination, parties who
contemplate visiting Washington for the pur
pose of having interviews with the heads of
Departments, are advised to defer their journey
hither until after the assembling of Congress.
A foraging party went out from Geu. Wads
worth's brigade yesterday, and having procured
a large supply of corn, they started back in the
afternoon. Five of the wagons became de
tached from the main body, and halting in the
road about two and a half miles to the left of
Falls Church, the men stacked their arms and
went toward a farm house to get something to
eat. A party of rebel cavalry who had been
scouting in the neighborhood, availing them
selves of the oppOrtuuity thus presented, sud
denly rushed between our soldiers and their
arms, thus rendering them powerless for re
sistance. The consequence was the capture of
five loaded wagons and it is supposed thirty-one
prisoners. About ten of the soldiers certkin' ly
escaped, and it may be that some of the others
may yet return, as it is not improbable that
they sought refuge in the woods. They all be
long to the Thirteenth New York regiment.
I he place where they were taken is beyond our
lines, and this unfortunate affair is the result of
their own carelessness.

It is understood that the Government will,
in the course of a few days, make arrangements
to open trade with Beaufort, S. C. It is report

Col. Harding, of Missouri, has made arrange

The steamer E. B. Hale arrived at the Navy
Yard on Saturday night. For a week or two
past she has been stationed at Stump Creek to
watch the rebel steamer George Page, but the
opening of the new rebel battery at Cockpit
Point forced her to move from that exposed
position, and she now lies at deep point when
on the lookout.
Her officers have no objections to an encoun

staunch little steamer and a fine battery aboard.
The Dawn ran the blockade on Saturday

THE CAPTURE OF MASON
AND SLIDELL
FULL PARTICULARS,
The Scene on Board the British Vessel.
How the News was Received in
Washington.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.
' The Navy Department prefers not to publish,
at present, the official reports made by the offi
cers of the war steamer San Jacinto, in refer
ence to the capture of Mason and Slidell. the
-general facts are these : - Commander Wilkes,
evidently a - man Of "grit,'"was sent out to
bring home the San Jacinto from the coast of
Africa ; on his return he touched at Cienfuegos,
where he ascertained that Mason and Slidell
had run the blockade, .and were en route to
Europe, probably by , the way of. Cuba. He
sailed up and went into port at Havanna.
There he ascertained. that the Confederate com
missioners had been gone but a few hours,
having sailed in the British mail. steamship
Trent, the evening before, (7th Novem
ber.) He immediately put to sea, direct
ing his course so as to intercept the vessel.
When :about forty miles off Matanzas, in
the old Bahama Channel, the Trent nova in I
sight, and the two vessels were soon within
hailing distance. Commodore Wilkes sent a
shot across the bows of the Trent. To this no
attention was paid, when another was directed
near the bow. This brought the steamer to.—
Lieutenant Fairfax, to whim both of the Con
federate
passengers were personally known, was
sent on board in a boat, supported with twu
more boats, filled with marines. Lieutenant
Fairfax went on deck and milled for Messrs.
Mason and Slidell, who soon appeared. Lieu
tenant Fairfax politely informed them of the
object of his mission, and asked them to go on
board his boat. To this they objected, Mason
remarking that they had paid their passage
to Europe, to the British Consul at Ha
vanna, (who acts as agent for the mail
steamship line,) and he would not leave
•without force. Lieut. Fairfax, pointing to his
marines drawn up on the decks of the British
steamer, said : "You see, sir, I have the force,
if that is what you require !" '"
Then you
must use it," replied Mason. With this Lieut.
Fairfax placed his hand upon the Senator's
shoulder and pressed him to the gangway.—
At this juncture the passengers rushed torward,
somewhat excited, and attempted to interfere.
the marines immediately showed their bay
onets, and Mason consented to the decision
of Lieutenant Fairfax, asking that he might
be permitted to make his protest in writing.
Just then a fine specimen- of an Englishman
rushed on deck in military or naval uniform
(the officer in command of the mails, probiz
uly,) and demandeq why passengers on board
that ship were molested. Lieut. Fairfax in
formed him that he had stated to Capt. Moir,
of the packet, why he arrested, two of his pas
sengers, and further than that he had no ex
planations to make. Protesta were then drawn
up, andklason and Slidell, with their secretaries
Eustis and McFatiand, went into the boats of
the San Jacinto. Com. Wilkes sent a message
to the ladies that his best cabin was at their
service if they desired to accompany the priso
ners back to the United States. They, how
ever, declined, and proceeded on the voyage.
The arrest was made un the Bth, and the San
Jacinto arrived with the prisoners at Fortress
Monroe on Friday. Lieut. Taylor was dispatch
ed to Washington with the official papers, and
the San Jacinto was ordered to New York,
whence the prisoners will be forwarded to Fort
Warren, in Boston harbor.
The Trent is not, as has been supposed, an in
tercolonial steamer, plying between the West
India Islands. She is a British international
packet, carrying the British mails, and plying
between Southampton, England, Vera Cruz,
Havana, St. Thomas, and thence track to South
ampton.
Lieutenant Taylor arrived here at noon, yes
terday, and the news of the arrest created a
profound sensation, and very generaland almost
unbounded rejoicing. The act is, outside of
the departments, very generally approved,
though there are various opinions expressed in
the speculations as to the light in which Eng
land wilt view the transaction. One thing is
evident, England has always favored the right
of search; and it is a bad law, or rule, that will
not work equally well both ways. Captain
Wilkes was disposed to seize the packet, under
the charge of favoring the enemies of our coun
try, and bring her to Key West; but, finding
that it would seriously disappoint a large num
ber of passengers, he abandoned his purpose.
