Tuesday Morning, March 4, 18621,
THE WAR AND ITS IMMEDIATE
,RE
SULTS.
That.the war was organized and precipitated
for the pnrpoee of crushing the Influence of
free labor, is no longer a question for debate.
The 'Maimed object of the - secession leaders
was first, to get rid of the thraldom imposed
by an association in which the labor of oue
party was free and indcpendent, with an equal
ly tree exercise of the ftioctions of government,
whtle that of the other was made completely
subservient : to capital, and totally denied all
participation In the franchises of government,
except as the numerical strength of such labor
inves!ed those who claimed its ownership, with
a monopoly of all the powers of geVernment
Those thus invested with a r-pl esentation in
government, that was not real, and, that bad
no solid. intelligent and independent basis for
its foundation*, were in daily fear that the struc
ture of their political and social organization
world fill to pieces. Therefore it required a:
oonstant,revisios of the law to preserve the bal
ance of power, and keep theinstitution of slave
ry tip to the progress and growtn of free labor.
When new territories were formed, and by the
energy of free labor new commonwealths were
ushered into the Union, at once new goaran
teeri Were insisted , on by those interested in
slavery,, so that what it lacked in energy and
intelligence to achieve for itself a becoming
position and some real' progress, the law of
the land must vouched°, and the Constitution
be amended to appease its insatiate appetite .
andjealousy. The repetition of this demand
and , frequent satisfactioo of these claims, at
length wearied and disgusted the people M the
free states. With the'suspicion that the deter
mination of progress so steadily manifested . by
theiseassea of the north, would at length, cul
minate 'in a refusal to be harrmsed wad hap*
tied *dusty, the upholders of that institu
tion hoped, by the inauguration of rebellion,
to crush at once ail free government and,all
free laticti . :' ; When the soutbern * Stanza - tiiiia;.d
together, they had, no hope of improving their
own condition. The nbeitrike at the
Union desiring to 'achieve such an object.—
The end Which - they aimed at was the bundlia-
tion of - northern society as it was represented
in tree' labor, and the destruction of every po
*litidar right which invested labor with Privi-.
leges . beyorlid . thOise to toil and live..' ,
After almost twelve months of open revolt
and armed resistance to the federal law, it re-'
quireironly
i a"limited glance to Piirceive how, far
the, rebels have, sacceeded in affecting either
the•progr‘.or power of free labor. The first
result of the rairolt;as stated by the traitors
therPselies t would be the refusal of the north
enkmasssii:to respond to •the summons of the
-President. tcsfassist putting down rebellion.
Histbry - hali Proved' how fallaoiotio'fittCh a faith
wasin reality; and history farther provis that
the' vOUptCer force has alwaii; eacec44l the
deniaridpf the government, and that it could
also at any given time, be incressed.to'cloable
• its tintabers. The next result, is case the ne
osvagY in* shoal ,offer to sustain the govern
meat, would be•tbe multiplication ot burdens,
which the::people would 'never' support, but
whiek, ,Wetild be resisted by other ; rehdlions
thag g thiki the,, south. History has proven
thatrwith .:the °earplug of numbers needed to
orgaoise the armies of the Republic, the tender
of itel*tary . loans has - been more than abun
dant :to supply the wants of the government.
Added_ ta this fact, the purpose of taxationit

GOD'S PROYIDENCES IN THE GREAT
CONSPIRACY.
Up to 1861 the Nero York Bimini Post says
that the south bad furnished .seven out of the I
thirteen Presidents, and had twelve out of the
eighteen terms, or forty-eight years out of the
seventy-two since the adoption of the constitu
tion, thus leaving-the Presidential office to be
occupied by nortllem 'men, only twenty-four
years, or just one third of the time. Five of
the southern Presidents each served two terms,
while no northern man has ever been allowed s
re-election. Besidest r -three , Presidents were :
" northern men with southern princitiles," and
this, in effect, gives twelve years more to the
south, making sixty years in which they have
had almost supreme- control, and leaving but
twelve years during which the government has
been administered; even nominally, by northern
Presidents. But during these twelve years'it
could be shown that 268,000 slave-owners had
a preponderating influence in public) affairs and
in shaping the policy of the government..
80 long as the country was satisfied with this
state of things tint eltivehol4o, 'of, course, did
not complain ; but.the moment the people yen-.
turgid; by: perfectly legal- and constitutional
means, to elect to the executive office a man
who .represented - the revealed '.iienti
ments of the majority, those slaveholders re
volted. • • •

The Confederate Congress is evidently in e.
state of alarm. On Wednesday last, in the
rebel Senate, a resolution was offered abolishing
all ports of entry, repealing all duties upon im
ports and forbidding all exports, except by the
special permission of the government ; and an
other, "encouraging" planters and owners of
cotton and tobacco to. destroy their crops, to
preverst them-from falling into on possession ;

Arrival of tie Piiste Steam •
Nashville, at Wilmington, N. 0.
Foarairor MONIU:I34 March 2
•
The steamer Express, Capt.-Goimary, left Old
Point yesterday - tor-enema at- ten' O'clock for
James river, to receive the Union prisoners
who were•expected on Friday. They were not
met, however, according to appointment, and
having •remained at the usual meeting place
until noon to-day, the George Washington was
sent up with.an order for the Express to return
thiless something had been heard from them.
She accordingly came.. back, arriving at 2 P. IL
. At about three o'clock yesterday afternoon
the Confederate steamer Jamestown, which,
with the Yorktoivn, is stationed off Hog Island,
steamed down to the Express with a flag of
truce to ascertain the cause of her appearance
in the riveron two successive days. She stopped
abreast of the Express at a few rods distance,
and lowered a boat with a lieutenant on board to
communicate. He was informed of the errand of
the Express,ancl she was acting upon information'
firnished by Genral Huger, when he explained
that his commander had , no knowledge of any
expected'prisoners, and from seeing the Express l
on two days in"suoetaion, came down to learn'
the occasion. He expressed himself satisfied,
and returning to the . Jamestown, she went back
to her station. She. has been armed with a gun
at her bows sod another at. her stern, and has
a sharp iron cut water projecting some three feet
`from her bows at the water lime. She is sup!
posed to.be commanded by Captain Barnard.
Having been twice thsappointed in relation to
the expected prisoners it. is not known when
they will be sent down the river.
It is uncertain whether Col. Corcoran will be
among the number, although it is quite proba
ble. Another interview took place yesterday Off
Craney Island bet Ween Gen. Wool and Geo.
Cobb, in reference to a general exchange of
prisoners.
We bear via Norfolk that the steamer Nash
ville arrived at Wilmington, N. C. yesterday,
having run the blockade at that place.
A large quantity of telegraphic cable has ar
rived here for the'oumpletion of the line across

CHICAGO, March 2.—A special despatch to
the lima, dated Cairo, March Ist, reports that
the unanimous disloyalty of the citizens in and
around Nashville is confirmed by every arrival
from the Cumberland. The difference in senti

the former there were many Unionists, but. on
the latter none have yet made their appearance.
Reports are current and credited here that
Columbus has been evacuated and destroyed.—
The town was in flames last night.
Great quietness and inaction reign at Cairo.

How Gunboats Can be Taken.
[Ffom the N. 0. Della.]
The errirc.e tvt have already had has demorutra
fed . the smpractie - Afith of deitrosring the iron-owed
'and strongly balk gunboats of the enemy by the can
non of du ' forts. While large ships of war may
be easily repelled*,an i destroyed by the fire of
orts, these small boats, with a - few guns, and
secured by iron mien' boats,
can 'approaCh near
to the object of assault, defy the heaviest artil
lery, and throw shells into an open fort, which
Will render it untenable. The only efficient
mode of resisting and defeating, such craft, in
the alisence Of like -*sada on - our part, Is to
kosrd and, capture i theru., They usually carry
crews, are not fast,. and when once
rettbinid and boarded, can'be easily taken.
Be* services no. this will call into exercise
the very qualities which our Southern soldiers
and sailors possess, whilst, in the' encounters
at long distances and with heavy guns, the
energy havelainneise adianteges over us. In
the late war, the British. employed this system
successfully against our gunboats. There is one
remarkable exaniple'of this which, which it may
be instructive now to recall. When the British
fleet came into Lake Borgne, in the invasion of
State, in 1814; they were closely watched
by a fleet of gunboat', under Captain T. Ap.
Cateaby Jones, six in number, carrying six guns
each. The British ships were not able to follow
these small vessels into shallow water, and their
presence rendered a landing of their army on
the coast very dangerous and difficult. It was.
therefore, determined to destroy or capture
I them.

by the medical staff for the treatment or care

The suffering and agony is represented to

of our Sanitary Commission arrived there, thvy
