tilailp Etitgrapt. HARRISBURG, PA Monday Afternoon, February 17,1562. DAVIS & Co., in their anxiety to secure for eign recognition and aid,offered, in lieu therefor, to abolish slavery in a given time, while they Would covenant at once to secure the freedom of every negro child born in the slave states. It is presumed that this offer was made under standingly, as to the ttbility of society in the south to submit to such a change, and the wil lingness also of the slave-breeder and owner to lose their investment in such property. View ing this matter impartially, we have reason to believe that what the south voluntarily offered to the governments of Europe, in order to secure the solution of their pretensions and difficulties, the government of the United States has a right to demand before it will yield any terms of peace to the rebellious intriguers of the south. If the people of the south can af ford to emancipate their slaves to flatter the abolitionists of England they should be com pelled to do it by the federal government as a means of safety against future rebellion. If emancipation is worth foreign recognition, do mestic favor and friendship are equally worthy of tkp same measure. No reasonable man will deny this claim, and therefore as an indemnity for the past and a guaranty for the future, the United States will be justified in claiming from the leaders of the rebellion what they volunta rily offered to European governments—emancipa tion in a given time and freedom to all born after a period named. SIXTY YEARS AGO, Thomas Jefferson suggested the idea of gunboats, now so fearfully reduced to practical purposes in quelling the slave hold er's rebellion. As the idea of a gunboat was then regarded as the very highest of folly, even though the suggestion eminated from one so eminently distinguished aed learned as the il lustrious author of the Declaration of Inde pendence ; so at the present day was the sug gestion of a mortar boat estimated as an equal folly. The test of gun boats being fairly made, and their efficiency as fairly established, the next success to be achieved related to the ca pacity of similar boats to sustain the concussion of a mortar. A number of boats constructed at St. Louie, by Theodore S. Adams, of this city, were recently tested, and the result has proven that they were capable of resisting the terrible concussion attending the firing of a thirteen inch shell. These experiments are of course very gratifying to the Ordnance Department, while they are none the less pleasing to the friends of Mr. Adams in this city, who feel an equal pride with himself, id the success and ef ficiency of his efforts as a naval constructor. THE FACT THAT THE VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE has resolved to enroll the free negroes of that state, and force them to fight in-the rebel army, has never been referred to by those journalists in the north who are constantly insisting that the ne gro has nothing to do with this struggle. And yet no_ fact of the rebellion is better known than the one to which we now refer. It is not only in the state of Virginia that this enroll ment is enforced, but in all the other slave rebel states the free and bond black masses are com pelled to lend all their aid to the rebellion.— When they cannot be used as fighting men, they are employed to sustain the army by their industry—and thus the negro is made to sustain treason. Will the Breckinridge Democratic editors of the north, who are so solicitous that the free negroes of the free states may be prevented from sharing the dangers and the death of this struggle, explain the difference between a north ern free negro fighting willingly to sustain a free government, and a southern free negro being compelled to fight to destroy such a gov ernment l WHERE are the paladins, fire-eaters, bravos, and great men who blustered so boldly in Con gress against the North a little over a year ago, and told us of the invincible courage of the south, and the craven cowardice of the peo ple of the free states? In reading over the accounts of the battles for liberty, w hear of no brave deeds performed by Pryor, and Relit, and Cobb, and Toombs, and Wigfall, and Iver son. They seem to have subsided utterly, and to have left the heat and burden, the danger and the death of the bitter day to the obscure and deluded men whom they have pushed to the fore front of the conflict. Gov't:twos Crams, at the presentation of Sags to Col. Williams's Thirty-first regiment, and Col. Campbell's Fourth Cavalry, was re ceived by a salute of twenty-one guns. The presentation took place on Saturday last, and was participated in by several distinguished gentlemen from this State. It is gratifying to note the fact, that Gov. Curtin has a hold on the volunteers from this State, which is alike the result of incessant toil and vigilance on his part in their behalf, and on the part of the volunteers of the utmost confidence in the Governor. EVIMYBODY SATISFIED.—Those who have re commended a delay in the advance of our ar mies, regard recent successes as confirming the wisdom of the policy of prudence and prepara tion. Those, on the contrary, who have been impatient for an advance, insist that it is now demonstrated that it was only necessary to at tack the rebellion, to put it down. Thus every body is satisfied and complacent. - • pennspluanta Mail)) (telegraph, Dinky afternoon, /thrum 17, 1862 NATIONALITY. The form and the political influence of a na tionality may be destroyed, but Its sentiment can never be eradicated. It is love of home in its highest sense—a deep regard for things personal, which, while it does not equal the tender heart affections of a man, rises above the simplicity of these with all the grandeur which its proportions can alone assume. The national sentiment of love and regard for one's country, its glory and its greatness, is elicited in many ways, but never sooner than when that country is in danger. The Russian, whose flesh quivers as it yields to the thong, or who becomes frantic with the agony inflicted by the knout, is still ready to bear his breast as a rampart between his country and its foes. The Turk adores his country as he sees its glory reflected in the crescent. The Moor was extermi nated in name, and almost in race, but those who remainedcultivated their revenge and their love of country amid their crumbling Alham bras, until the stilleto of the Spaniard wasted their blood, tore down their altars, and left their names only to the keeping of the tradi tions of the world. The Waldenses, who lived in caves and on barren rocks, suffered peril by night and starvation by day, never forgot their country. A hymn which extols Ireland makes an Irishman forget his gloomy past, dreary present and uncertain future. Thus do the people of all lands, whether it is those most absolutely oppressed, or those who, like the English masses, are ignorant enough to believe that they are free because they can elect a Parliament to legislate for the benefit of a cor rupt and ignorant aristocracy, provided the elector own a portion of the soil—thus all the people, everywhere, cultivate national senti ments and regard, which are developed in their songs, made eloquent in their oratory, and famous in their deeds of daring. It is seldom that history has to record the mad resolve of a people banded to destroy all they possessed that was great or glorious. Even while the forms of a government were being changed, and when the mobs of a nation were rushing madly to the destruction of outward represen tations and peculiar objects of their hatred, this sentiment of nationality, which preserves the glory in its devotion to the honor of the government, seemed to animate the rudest and the harshest of such desperate men. —lt has been reserved for the people of the first free government that the sun ever shone upon, to originate the first rebellion for the entire destruction of not only certain forms of their government, but of their actual and entire nationality. This is the object of the slave holders' rebellion. The men who organized that rebel lion did not band for the redress of any par ticular wrong, because they had suffered no grievance and were chaffing with no oppression. They aimed at the annihilation of the nation ality of the government, and imagined when that was destroyed, its civilization would also be impeded, and thus would be secured the triumph of the barbarism which they represent in a struggle they would feign make the world believe, is a revolution striving for the emanci pation of an oppressed and dreadfully wronged people. When the history of this rebellion comes to be fairly written, then will this out rageous and damnable purpose be more fully established, and then for the first time will the annals of the world be degraded with the fact of a portion of one nation seeking to destroy that entire nation, simply because they were not equal to the sublime task of competing with their fellow-citizens in the race of progress and the great work of social and civil development. It will constitute a page in moral obliquity from which the future student of history will turn with disgust; and the soldier, with con tempt, will regard its failure as a vindication of man's right to take up arms in a righteous cause, while the unrighteousnees of the cause thus represented in an attempt to destroy a proud nationality, will be hest illustrated in the eternal disgrace of those thus engaged. Let us not, then, despair, though our nationality is now in danger. Let us not despair, because their are proud vindication reserved for it, which will make it as perpetual as time. Let us not grow feint, though it must be battled for amid carnage and death. Its songs and its grandeur will issue from this contest, as en chanting and sublime as they came forth from the struggle of the revolution, made the won ders of the world by their irresistable influence, and the glory of the people by their power and their truth. We fight for our nationality—its Christian influences and civilizing progress! Those who contend with us, battle for a bar barism thet has been renounced by the least civilised nations on the face of the globe. Therefore, and with God's aid, we must tri umph ! THE EFFECTS OF VICTORY. We have no taste for the perusal of the bloody details of battles.. We have less desire to com ment upon the horrible incidents of attack and retreat, but we cannot refrain frOm allu ding to the fact, that the recent victories of our troops in the south-west have inspired the coun try with the most glorious hope and anticipa tions. Two great facts have been established by these victories. The first and most impor • taut of these is, that the masses of the south are not as blindly devoted to rebellion as their leaders would have the world believe. In North Carolina and other localities it has been already demonstrated that a strong Union feeling pre vails, to the extent even of extending aid and encouragement to our troops as they invade ti e territory where rebellion has been proclaimed the strongest. It was the boast of the leaders in this reb :Ilion, when they raised their crim son banner, that the people of the south were united—that they were animated by the single purpose of emancipation from all political union with the people of the east, north and west, and that in the cause which had been inaugu rated in treason they intended to invest their all, to perish or succeed. These boasts and as sertions for a time misled the nations of the world. They misled, too, a large portion of the people of the north, who were in doubt as to the policy of coercing an unwilling people in an allegiance to a government which they had deliberately and forcibly repudiated. But events now 40ove that the people thus claimed as haviniteen anxious to escape the federal power and authority, are 'jubilant at the approach of the federal troops, and hail their appearance as the signal for Union demonstrations. Certainly, such a result is worthy of more admiration and applause than any which can to achieved through the agonizing throbs and bloudy offer ings of battle. The other fact demonstrated in these victo ries, is the superiority of northers courage, fortitude and invincible tact in battle. We have heard the taunt ott repeated, that the insuperiority of the people in the free states was too great to warrant any doubt as to the result of a contest between them and the people of the south. Theee • assertions have been in dulged in so often, and apparently allowed to pass unrefut3d, that the world beg , n to be lieve there was some truth in the charge thus implied, and that in reality, the people of the free states were only so many arrant knaves and cowards, seeking wealth in speculation and power in oppressing those unable to resist their encroachments. Wherever this expres sion has prevailed, it is destined shortly to be removed. The falsehood is so 'n to give way b t to the great fact, t ' the people of the free states are as proftciin the science of war, as they are in the other sciences which bless and ennoble a people when they are successfully prosecuted. And while we have no taste for the bloody details .of these battles, the facts which are thus established amid gore and carnage, will render unnecessary any future very rigorous legislation to hold the revolted states to their allegiance. The sate facts will also change the opinion of foreign governments as to our ability for self-government; while we would not be astonished if they imparted an altered tone to the diplomacy, and the discus,. Mon of the British Cabinet and Parliament. It is a terrible, but a necessary and just manner in which to vindicate the authority and pro claim the power of the national government. THE PAY OF COMPANY AND REGI MENTAL OFFICERS. The rule which deprives a volunteer officer of pay until he has recruited a certain number of men, has already been a source of much em barrasment and actual hardship among a class of brave and patriotic men. It seems peculi arly disgraceful that the government should ask a number of men to travel over the coun try, visit distant localities, labor to induce men to enroll themselves as recruits, and do all this at their own expense. When the first appeal was made for men, there was no labor required to raise a brigade. Then indeed, a division could have bees. recruited and organ ized in the same time that it now requires to raise a regiment. Individuals, then,c ould very readily submit to a deprivation of pay, be cause iegiments rallied to standards in a sin gle day. But as the business of recruiting is now conducted, the man who attempts to or ganize a regiment finds that be has undertaken a herculian task, and that he is fortunate if he succeeds and escapes bankruptcy. The govern ment of the United States cannot expect Its loyal citizens to conduct this war on their indi vidual expenses, and yet the regulation which insists on a captain or regimental officers to raise a certain number of men before they re ceive any pay, seernslto imply such a desire; because if a man deserves pay for recruiting a regiment, he should have pay also for recruit ing a squad. Those who are recruiting are cer tainly as fully in the service of the country as those who are in battle array before, or in eager pursuit after, the enemy. This claim of pay, on the part of these offi cers, has a practical meaning and truthfulness about it that need not be discussed in a lengthy editorial to impress the people with its justice. We believe that these company and regimental officers should be paid—paid as are the officers . of the regular army when new regiments are to be organized. The government should not permit any man to fight unrequited in this contest. It should see that all are equally re garded and remunerated. Therefore we trust that the authorities will give this subject some attention, and that this act of justice so long deferred to the gallant volunteer officers in the service of the country, will be legalized by such legislation as will at once extend the necessary relief. We content ourselves with merely sug gesting the justice of this claim, without pro posing any plan by which it can be met and satisfied. That is a matter belonging to the Legislature or to Congress. WHAT IT MEANS. The complete success of the federal arms al ready announced, will be irrefutable proof to the country and the world, of the justice of the Union cause. Although might does not prove right, it is a verity that the truth is mighty and will prevail. When an appeal has been taken from ballots to bullets, and the ap pealing party is again beaten, his defeat is the crowning demonstration of the rottenness of his cause and the atrocity of his course. In in telligence, spirit, energy and valor, the South erner and Northener do not widely differ. Both have to some extent the same characterist ics. As to wealth, the superiority lies in this instance with the greater numbers. If the lat ter are in earnest they must conquer, and the conquest will be proof of their earnestness.— The result will have a moral significancy a thousand times greater than that of a severely and fairly earned victory at the polls. Men think more honestly before going to fight than before going to vote. They reflect, with more seriousness before throwing their lives, fortune and honor into the scale of battle, than before dropping their votes into the ballot-box. In strictest truth, the war is an awful and terrible canvass, a franchise of fire and blood, out of which is to come forth, in • the sublimest and purest sense, that "voice of the people," which "is the voice of God." Were it not so, what hope would remain for justice or liberty on the earth? If these may at any time be overthrown by an appeal to war and if the sword of the freeman cannot be re lied upon to maintain the government and de crees of the people, freedom is impossible, the beet aspirations of man are doomed to perpetual disappointment, religion is a.. mocking illusion, and there is no God.

Large Reinforcements Sent Forward GBN• BUELL TAXES 001111 AND IN PERSON This morning's Omuiffercial has the following: On learning that the rebels were evacuating. Bowling Green, General Buell ordered a forced march, by Mitchell, to save, if possible, the railroad and turnpike bridges on Big Barron river. They bad, however, been destroyed when Mitchell reached the banks of the river. The Brigades of Breckinridge and Hindman were until Thursday evening at Woodland sta tion. The rebels left nothing at Bowling Green ex cept a few old wagons. Part of the town is re ported to be burnt. It is believed now that no rebel forces are now in Kentucky east of the direct road from Bowling Green via Franklin to Nashville. Crittenden is trying to organize another army at Carthage, on the south bank of the Cumber land. This is the only rebel force on the line from Bowling Green to Nashville. Breckinridge and Hindman's brigades have fallen back on Russleville, where Buckner's and Floyd's brigades have been stationed for some time. Hardee and Johnston were also believed to be at that point on Friday. It is presumed, with the exception of the above brigades, the whole rebel army have been moved to Fort Donelson and Clarksville. What movement may have been made by the rebel forces since Tuesday, can only be con jectured, but the probabilities are that they have concentrated their whole force on the Cumberland. If, however, they have not done so, the divisions of N,lson and Mitchell will be ample to cope with all they may have be tween Bowling Green and Nashville. It is believed that the divisions of McCook and Thomas embarked at the mouth of Salt river on steamers for Cumberland on Saturday night, and yesterday the troops that have been in camp of instructions at Bardstown were at Louisville yesterday embanking for Cumber land. Three Indiana regiments and one battery of artillery leave New Albany to-day. The ag gregate of these reinforcements, is perhaps, 40,000. General Buell, we understand, goes with McCook's division to take command in person on the Cumberland, where our force will, by to-morrow night, number about 80,000. While he presses the enemy on Cumberland with his tremendous force, their flank and rear are pressed by the heavy divisions under Mitchell and Nelson. Since the writing of the above, we learn that ten regiments, now in the Ohio camps, are or dered at once to Cumberland. S. Louis, Feb. 17 XXXVIIth Congress--First Session. -.4- Announcement of the Victory at Fort On the opening of the Hall, Mr. COLFAX, (Ind.) asked and readily obtained permission to make a statement relative to the capture of Fort Dunelson. Amid a profound silence, he then announced that General M'Clellan had authorized him to inform the House that ha had just received a dispatch from Cairo, informing him of the ar• rival of the gunboat Carondelet at that place, this morning, bringing the news of the capture of Fort Donelean ' yesterday, jily the land forces of the United States army, with fifteen thou sand prisoners, including General A. Sidney Johnsen and Buckner. Floyd ran away, and succeeded in making his escape.• The loss on both sides is very heavy. The news was received with great applause and with laughter at the announcement of Floyd's cowardice. Mr. Colfax was surrounded by members to hear further news. Mr. Wasatintuts, (Ill.,) I want the gentleman from Indiana to know that General Ulyssus S. Grant, who commanded the land forces that captured the fort, is from Illinois, and from Galena in my district. Mr. MALOWF, (8.y.,) said that in view of this gratifying fact, moved, but the House refused to adjourn. Mr. COLFAX said that be had further news from Donelson from rebel sources. Cries "let's hear it"—" go to the desk and read it—read it loud." Intense excitement prevailed. The &MUM called the House to order, and deep silence prevailed. Mr. Corvax•then read the dispatch as brought from Norfolk by the flag of truce. [Applause on the floor and in the galleries.] Mr. WRIGHT, (Pa.,) moved to adjourn, which was not agreed to. Mr. MALLORY moved to discharge the com mittee on the conduct of the war, as from the good news of this morning, there seemed to be no more use for them. [Laughter and cries of "agreed," "good."] Mr. WASHBITRHE (Ill.) remarked that the news was so gratifying that the House was evi dently in no temper for business, and suggest ed, but the House again refused to adjourn. Mr. WRIGHT had made a similar ineffectual motion. The Case of Gordon, the Slave Trader, Opinion of Chief Justice Taney. Chief Justice Taney this morning delivered the opinion of the court in the case of Gordon, the slave trader, denying that a motion made by Judge Dean for a writ of prohibition to pre vent his execution, on the ground of a want of power in the court to review proceedings in criminal cases, or to restrain the action of a ministerial officer. The allegation was based on alleged irregularity in the New York circuit court, an application will now be made to the President in behalf of Gordon, on the same grounds.
