Breckinridge for the Freed dencsVhp,lls,- dal! after day, with solicitude, for thelftatiition ot slavery. From the /eter nal of Cbmineree and the Pittsburg Post, down to the Patriot and Vain," there seems to be a con cert of s ection, while Ahoy mingle- their prayers as harmoniously on thertubject as ever ' ctartrlts sued for mercy or Saints beseeched 'Natter; for blessings. All the allusion to the slavery question which the crisis has begat in , the north, was elicited by the solidnido which such journals are constantly expressing Air that institution, and we question very ,enuch if .. the men Ida; control their, colurks have. any other hope invested in the fearful contest now con vulsing the country, than the prvent hope that slavery may come out of thestitigliln unscath ed if not'Wnvigorateci and clittbsell with addi tional power. And yet these, journals and the class of men who endorse the. ,principles 'they advocate, claim a degree of loyalty far exceed ing the excellence of that which nerves - our brave soldieys to fade the enemies bt"the Union on the battle field. It is a loyalty, however, that ruse mad on opinions of its own, or be comes wonderons wise when' it svelte' the ex pounding of the Constitution in such Mains as will best approve its own excesses, deceits and common machinations against the public good. We are glad to see, however, that the 'really neutral and'independentjournalsof the oonntry, ot at least certain of , *mac cret enemies 03"tn...z4 and by fably quot— ing their own language, tors before the public in 61M light of their WE treacheri, by which it i s alone just to measure ' and estimate them. • The imams of t.',meddling with the institu tion of dietary," 'is no 10 " the wCrk 1s i 4 ' impulsive and '<Aim Ind's** though hilliest and nteggilt.nktn met women of -the nottb„ , . , • . = • n • e social circle, the literary society or the medium of journalism.— It has become a theme nearest the heart of eighteen millions of people—a hope on which hangs the nationality and political existence of the only free goveminent on the face of the earth—and, therefore, rising above all other sub jects, abolitionism and slavery are henceforth to be joined in a contest which will never cease until one or the other is eating uished,or the fight must wage until the existence of the universe itself, is brought to a close by its predicted con flagration. It is not the abolitionism, however, which is constantly berated by the organs and the party to which we have alluded In a former paragraph—it isnot the abolitionism, that would let loose millions of irresponsible and ignorant human beings, whose long years of bondage have added fearful lusts and passions to the natural degeneracy of their race, and whose op- Fusion has given repugnance to the clifferen. in their color and condition. It wou/erb,e a bias- Mg to the southern planters V abolitionism could be es tablished in a form which would relieve them of their broken down and superannuated slaves. This is the abolitionism which most of the southern states want—the freedom that they approve, when it relieves a plantation of its useless property in slaves—but this is not the manner in which the people of the north intend to meddle with ga my. The free people of the 'Union believe that the southern soil belongs equally to the south ern slave as it does to the slave master, and that soil, if there is truth in the decrees of Providence, Will-She' Made to' support the slave population in a manner and to an extent greater than was ever dreamed of by the most sanguine abolitioniste, either' of the Garrison school or the Lucretia Mott tea-table talkers.— The abolitionism which freemen desire—the meddling which the people of the Union intend to interpose between slavery and free institu tions, is ..the disfranchisement of the first—its equalization with all other property—its expul don, as a political influence, from all depart ments of the government, and its total rejec tion, as an element of control in society and religion. That it has been such, the history of this nation amply testifies. That slavery has created an ignorant and imperious aristocracy in a republican form of government—that it has degraded labor and at last culminated in a rebellion to chstroy the government,' have been the means of arousing the people to the aboli tionism we have described. It is an abolition ism whit& doe* not propose to meddle with the numerical strength of slavery or the local rights of the slave-holder. God and civilization will deal with both these in a proper way and at the proper time. the "meddling" which now an noys the *dough -faces at the north, and so incenses live traitors of the south, is that which aims at the disfranchisement of the institution of slavery, and whichtakes it at theproperty es timate of its advocates. When this is accom plished, it wale deprived of its real power for mischief ; tunLitmill leave the country, too, in a condition of peace and prosperity for all time and all generations. • ' lEEE THE CREDIT OF THE COUNTRY. It is becoming a subject of vast importance, and one on which our perpetuity depends equally with our dependence on the armies in the field, that the credit of the nation is not allowed to depreciate a single farthing. The duty of maintaining this credit belongs to the home guard. This is no more than fair, that those who remain at home, quietly and com fortably pursuing their various, vocations,should pay into the treasury, by means of direct taxa tion, a just proportion of the money required to support those who are in the field risking 'life and limb to crush the slave-holder's rebellion. The war cannot, be carried on without men and money. The men are already in the field. They are armed and ready for the fight. They have sacrificedhomes,family and business. More than this cannot be asked of those bravo men who are in camp, except it is their lives, which they are also ready to bestow in the service of the country. This part of the businese to crush re bellion has all been of a practical character.— The men raised; are not the creation in figures of some ima,4lnative or theorizing commander, but they are real flesh and blood, animated by a patriotic zerd. which knows,no bounds in their service to their country. The matey, therefore, must:pm:win the sesereehipe—' real offerings in the 'day tittaxiitiOnitaiiii not logreletitictd lfik 'flattering offeri.of Intlarrhitant Went: rind exa emption from taxation, The.patriotism of the dohneedf a still greater test,, thm, received, , in:their compliance with2ths,appitior a loan.

The peoplvef Are loyal states are ready and willing to be taxed,-taxed to any judiciOus extent—taxed in ['manner which can , be liquidated by the exercise of a reasonable economy—taxed, if necessary, to compel the banishment of luxury, pomp and display, so that the money thus freely and patriotically bestowed, may assist in bringing this fearful struggle to a close. If we delay, this , taxation, we not only impair the, public credit, but we jeopard the success of the army. The whole subject is one of imperative importance, and the people are ready to respond to any, reasona ble as well as eqnitable appeal which Congress' may make in the shape of taxation. The peo "people themaelves want peaca,national seen= 'city, and do not desire now „to ;pause and count the cost. Let Congress, therefore, take &hint, and pass the necessary legislation on the subject.. THE NATIONAL ARMORY.

In these respects, no other state in the Union af fords such rare attractions as the state of Penn sylvania, and we confidently believe that when the territory of thestate is fairly examined both in ita.natural and artificial features adapted. for this purpose, the only difficulty will be in the selection of a site from among , the many advan tages and facilities possessed by Pennsylvania. So far as our own personal opinion is con cerned, and so far also as the opinion of those who have a practical knowledge of the business in this connection has any weight, we are convinced that Dauphn county presents euperior advantages over any other locality in the - state. The two most important requisites are lion and coal. Certainly no other point abounds so inexhaustibly in these productions, and when we add the facilities of transit, the locality is unrivalled in the Union. It is the locality, not only for the National Armory, but it is also the point at which should be located the National Foundry. The two should either be located in the same vicinity, or within such a distance as to make communication and tran sit between the Armory and Foundry as short as possible. We alluded to this subject in a former num ber of the Timmer]; and do so again in the hope that some public action will be taken on the subject by the citizens cg Harrisburg. It concerns them , to act in the premises before Congress locates these works, because all that is necessary to secure them for this locality is a proper statement of our advantages in natural resources and artificial facilities. , Ova.

The gun-boats were con centrating ; and so far as the naval part of the expedition was concerned, the propsnitions ler an offensive movement were nearly, if not quite, complete. In this connection the facts concerning the ability of General Sherman's forces to follow up any attack of the armed vessels are interesting. The General has kept his men busily atwork upon .

"A signal instance of rebel inhumanity re cently oocurred in Cadiz, the county seat of Trigg Major Matthew Moyes, an aged citizen of irreproachable and exalted character, and one of the ablest juntas in the State, was lately compelled to fly from his home, in consequence of the threats of Henry burnett's ruffians, to protection from the Halm troops at Smithfield. The scoundrels, chagrined at the unexpected flight of the old patriot, instantly dispatched a messenger, who overtook him within a few miles of Smithfield, and assured him that the "secessionists had no intention of molesting him, and that they would give him the most solemn pledge of protection. Major Moyes paid no at tention to these fair speeches, and in a short time another messenger arrived, who warned him not to return, as the first messenger had been sent by some bitter enemies, who would make quick work of him should he fall into their hands. He pursued his journey to Smithfield. He is a man of large property, and has been guilty , of loaning large sums of money to seceS sionista, who wish to conceal their debts by lynching the creditor." The Departure of Mason and Slidell [From the Boston Traveler.] The departure of Mason and Slidell from Fort Warren yesterday was conducted as quietly as possible. The garrison, with the exception of the guards of duty, were kept from the side of the fort where the prisoners' quarters are, and there were but few persons upon the wharf when they embarked. The other political pri soners, as they bade them good bye, congratu lated them on their release. Mr. - Mason went off in good humor. Indeed, he has recently been in good spirts, and has borne his impris onment with the air of a philosopher. Mr. Slidell was somewhat sulky, and not at all pleased at going in such an unostentatious manner, and in such a vessel. He evidently expected that a steamer would come here esp. cially for them. Part of his ill-nature may be owing to his health, which has not been good for some weeks, keeping him pretty close to his room, although he has not called for medical aid. .The tug Starlight, with the four rebels, reach ed Provincetovin a little before five and immediately. proceeded to the English sloop -of war Rinaldo, and transferred her passengers. Corn. Hudson, who was in charge of the ar rangements, went with them on board the English war vessel, and remained on board for about fifteen minutes, when he returned to the tug. At about six P. M., the Rinaldo got under way and proceeded on her voyage In about two hours afterwards a violent gale commenced, end blew all night at Provincetown, with al most the violence of a hurricane, but, as the wind was off shore, probably the safety of the vessel was not endangered. During the stay of the Rinaldo at Provincetown no communica tion was allowed with the shore, nor was any boat allowed to come alongside. M. WEND writes from Paris to the .Albany Evening Journal: " After breakfasting with 'Archbishop Hughes, I went with Mr. Sanford, who came up from Belgium in t le night to the residence of the Consul, Mr. Bigelow, for con sultation. What struck us all, in comparing notes, with surprise, was the fact that nobody at home seems to regard the new trouble with England as 'serious ; or else, if you do under stand its bearingsin regard fo war with England, you are willing to encounter it 1 lam willing to say that I shrink from the thought of war, just now, with any EuroPeau power, and etipw orally with one so fully prepared for, war as England."

The steamboat George Waibington, left Old 'outat eleven o'clock this morning and pro , teeded up James River übout nine miles beyond Newport News, where the rebel Steamer North ampton was met with Union prisoners from Richmond. They stepped on board under the protection of the National flag as the roll of ,their names was called, and such happy looking ;pen ate seldom seen. Cheer after cheer arose from each boat as they approached and the band of the 4th artillery played "sweet home" which added to the enthusiasm. As the boat passed Newport News the crews, of the U. B. steam frigates Cumberland and Obagrees manned their rigging, and the troops at tamp Butler crowded the beach and the wharves and sent over the water their shouts of welcome. The George 'Washington arrived here on her .rptnrn at about si o'clock, and. the Baltimore Which was detained for the purpose took the released prisoners to Baltimore.
