We agree with the New York Evening Post that it is doing the arch•traitors of Charleston —the cradle of the rebellion—too much honor to send a fleet and army against them. Such is their arrogance—such the conceit that they have of themselves—that they will only be flattered by the extent of the preparation made for their reduction. They will boast for all time to come that it took a large and power ful armament to compel their surrender. They will say that they only yielded to an cner whelming superiority of numbers, and that if they could have met us ou equal terms their in vincible valor and chivalric dash would have proved victorious. We could have wished,kuow ing the vainglorious character of the people, that a single vessel only had been sent against their city. We wish that the Monitor alone, with some twenty-five or thirty Yankees of the bluest blood on board, had beeu selected for the work to be performed. With her invulner able iron sides she could easily have passed the fortifications in the night, stifled up to the wharves of the city, and th-eatened a bombard.. meat in the event of a refusal to surrender. Charleston, we have no doubt, wonid have been obliged to succumb, and there would have been . a grand moral triumph in a conquest ef fected in, that manner. As these boastful South Carolinians took ten thousand men to dislodge a small garrison of seventy half-starved troops, so we ought to turn the tables upon them by capturing their entire city, including the forts,, with a mere handful of sailors. When' the place is taken—as taken it assur edly will be—we hope General Anderson will be placed once more in command of Fort Snna-: ter—that he will be the man chosen to run up the American ensign on the very spot where it I was flowered a year ago—and that the same slag which .he brought away will be the one that is waved in triumph in its old place. • It is enough to conquer the rebels of other states who have been forced or seduced into the rebellion, but to the conquest of the very be ginners of it should be added some degree of moral humiliation. FOUR HUNDRED AND TEN MILLION DOLLARS is now the debt of the Confederacy. War is an expensive business. A year ago Mr. Mem mimger advertised his "advantageous loan" of ten millions, and the conspirators flattered themselves that .not half this sum would be needed. , Bat debt does not trouble Davis ; it was by his influence, chiefly, that Mississippi was led to refuse payment of her just debts ; and he has tried on the same game in his new sphere of action: It will be remembered that, to seicare the payment of interest on that "most advantageous loan," the rebels pledged themselves to lay an export duty on cotton ; and that the whole cotton crop was made the basis for which were issued the millions of Con_ federate treasury notes and bonds which now flood the south. But, with the coolness of a practiced swindler, Davis, having pledged the proceeds of an export duty for the payment of a debt, next prohibited the export of the arti cle ; and when he had issued as many treasury notes as the south would take, he ordered the destruction of the cotton—which was the only security for their payment. Tills debt may be summed up as follows: Borrowed from banks $50,000,000 State aid, to be reimbursed 45,000,000 Due bills for property seised 65,000,000 Due bills for property destroyed.... 40,000,000 War loans 66,000,000 Treasury notes 100,000,000 Due soldiers 46,000,009 Total $410,000,000 Tux Jeraszsos STAR in a long article in re ference to Gov. Curtin, says that he deserves the thanks and the praise of every loyal man in the land, and that he stands a peer among the greatest and truest patriots in the land. He has been, tried in the crucible of that fiery public opinion from which so few escape un scathed. Re , has been tested by his country men. Their verdict is recorded pow in that confidence and 'approval which constitute the highest reward the statesman can desire. TBE CONTRABAND INVADER Having exhausted their sympathy for the rebellion, by openly applauding • the rebels, apd having used all the argument at - the command of sophistry to prove that the expenses growing out of this war should be charged to the people of the north—having engaged thus for the traitor cause, and failed, we find-the dough-face journalists changing their tact, and about to try a new pretext with whichto deceive and mislead the people of the loyal states. A few years ago, the cry was, - raised_that,slavery would never be extended, because the negro could not I live in a latitude beyond tliose of the southern states. The south was his natural home, and there he would remain until death severed hie I chains and put an end to his sufferings. Theae arguments were used to rebut the reasoning of those who were freely opposing elaveiy, an opposition, then, too, 'confined to the south. "We must have the negro," was the plea of the southern slays driver ; "the south is his natural home, and to keep him without a state of bondage would be to endanger the pew of every community in which the population of the African might predominate." iduee.was the special pleading of the southern slate.; ' holder, in answer to the. arguments of the southern abolitionists, urging the policy of gradual emancipation for the slaves, with the colonization of both,the emancipated slave and the free negro, in some locality distant from this country, and adapted to the nature and' pursuits of the race of black men. Sincethese I plans were announced in the south, and since southern abolitionism has spread among, the. intelligent masses of the Sorth;the sentiment at the south which first justified emancipation has changed, while • another sentiment at the north is busy misdirecting the effort to emelt orate and reduce slavery. Forty years ago, the southern advocate of slavery declared that the negrocould not 'exist in any other latitade. To-day, the northern advocate of that institu tion claims that emancipation threatens to. overrun the north with every liberated slave. Free the slaver, and the raoth will at once become burdened with his ignorance and idle ness. These barren assertions may do to star tle timid people and control the prejudice and passion which make up the :elements of Modern, Democracy, but .they have no influence upon the minds of men resolved „to view the dis posal of the African race in a sensible and a reasonable light. No man, white or black, ever attempted to escape from freedom. If a liberated slave seeks the north, to find a region where he is certain he will be free, it is because, he fears the slavery from which he was eman cipated, and the probability that he might again :be brought within the influence and control' of its chains and whips. But let the border •states become free states. Let slavery. jie 'abolished in Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri, and eight out of every ,ten free negroes in the free states will seek those localities, while not a single emancipated slave will leave the state in which he was ;freed. There will be nothing to compel hitr Ito leave ; but every influence will conspire to !induce him .*to remain. The climate, first, 'which the northern dough-face, the southern ;slave driver, and common sense, teach us is 'adapted best to his health and development.; .and, second, the attraction and familiarity of fold scenes,. home and associates. When the 'state becomes free in which.the slave is eman :cipated, the negro will have nO desire to coma north. He will not trust himself among the busier and more exacting scenes of commercial and mechanical coMpetition, but be glad to reniain where he belongs, among the tobacci, potton,.rice and sugar fields of the txmth. IMEI While emancipation by confiscation, for a time, will flood the north with "contrabands," a general emancipation law, .would have an opposite effect. The plan of setting a man free, and asking him to remain among-the scenes of his forteer suffering and oppression, with Ali the influence of slavery still-prevailing and threatening every day to reclaim him.as a vic tim, is simply- ridiculous. An idiot would ahrink from such an alternative, and the.worst slave that ever groaned beneath the lash would find speedy rescue in flight, if freed, or be forced by the influence of his oppression either to ab sent himself from its presence, or submit at 14:1C0 to Its rigors. In this view, we ITIUBC re gard the isolated freeing of the slaves. If slave states are made free, the danger of the north being overtun by the freed slave will .never Occur. Our. wiley political foes understand this fact too well, not to oppose general eman cipation.' They predict an influx of emanci pated slaves, in order to startle the north from its reason, and thus create au influence which can be used, when its passion is aroused, in favor of slavery. But if emancipation, snob emancipation as will make free all the border states, be recognised as the policy of the goy et:on:tent, the negro population north and south will seek, remain and become attached to these states, as their after rightful homes, made stich by the arguments of northern dough faces and southemnbolitionists, that the south was the natural locality for the negro, both on aocount of climate and soil. !Since the above article was written, we no ticed the following among yesterday's special despatches from Washington. It has a distinct bearing upon the subject, and we submit it, without a word, for the consideration of our readers, reserving such comments as we may have to make, until we can learn more of the particulars of this important propositi on: :The contraband question has suddenly taken a new phase—no less than a practical scheme of colouissation upon Danish territory.

The Danish government has made'a foraml proposition, through its minister here, to'take all thr negroes woo have , escaped from their masters and remove them to St. Croix, free of charge.

Premeat has overtaken the enemy, of whom he has been In putenit for a week, and has forced him to fight, and dtiven him; with heavy loss,, from his chosen_ position. Be left Harrisonburg this morning at 6 o'clock, and advanced in pursuit of Jackson by the read leading to Port Itepublie. the left of the turnpike to Stanton, seven miles beyond liar. risonburg, the advanced guard discovered the enemy posted in the 'woods, to the left Ind front, apparently in force. Artillery was sent to the front and commenced shelling, without eliciting any reply. • Jackson having at last been, forced to make a stand with his whole army, had completely masked his position in the woods, and various skirmishers and cavalry were sent forward.---. 1 The whole column came rapidly up, and a line of battle, extending nearly two miles, -was' promptly formed undeStle direction of Col.' Albert, chief of the staff. Before it was com pleted, Gen. Stahl with the. Garibaldi Guards, became engaged with the enemy on the extreme right, and forced him to fall fack. At half oast 12 o'clock a general adirance was ordered, and the whole line moved for ward. Gen. Milroy had the centre, General Schenck the right, and Gen Stahl, with ail his brigade except the Garibaldi Guards, the front. Gen. Blanker,' Gen. Bohlen, and Colonel Stela weickher's brigades composed the reteuve. The line moved down the slopes of three: hills into the valley, and up the opposite as cents, which at the summits were manned with woods. In these Woods, and in the belts and heavy timber beyond, t he; enemy were•posted. General Stahl, On tie left, was first engaged. General Milroy and General Schenck found the enemy soon after, and the battle almost imme diately became general: General Stahl, after -Seriviures battery had shelled the rebel position, advanced the Bth and 45th the. .York regimenta through the woods into an open fimd, on the other side of which the enemy's, right wing was concealed In the woods. The Bth advanced gallantly under a heavy.ire, but being so long lineup ported by the 45th, and largely outnumbered were finally forced to retire. Cell. Witstahali wag severely wounded, and the whole regiment badly cut up, losing not lees than 800, more than half of its strength. 'The enemy's par. suit was checked by the artillery. General Stahl finally withdrew his brigade to a strong position, repulsing a flank movement and hold ing hie wing firmly. Gen. Milroy advanced his centre, the artil lery fire coropellieg the enemy to give ground. Gen._ Schenck, on the •right,• > twice drove the rebels who attempted to turn his position. Alongthe whole line our artillery, under Colonel Pflson's direction, was served with great vigor end precision, and our final success was largely due to rte effect, The enemy Buttered most severely. One repel regiment lost two-thirds of its number in an attempt to capture Wildrich's Battery, which cut them to pieces with canister it fifty paces. The rebel, batteries were repeatedly silenced and forced to abandon their positions. Col. Clusrid., with his weak brigade took and held the centre of the enemy's p osition, and has his encampment there toAlight. Our forces were outnumbered at ail tants, but have occupied the rebel line, and forced them to retreat. The lees is heavy on both sides, the enemy suffering especially from our artillery. The Garibaldi Guards lost nearly 200, the 25th Ohio 00. The total loss is estimated at from GOO to 800 killed, wounded and missing. Col. Van Giles, of the DeKalb regiment ; Capt. ritual, of the Bth N. Y.; Capt. Mimes, of the' 29th N. Y.; Capt. Bichute, of the 89th .N. ,Y.; Capt. Chas.

Bertuioun, June 11 The rebels fought wholly under cover,'while our troops were forced to advance through open . fields. The enemy's advantagtii of position, and numbers were counterbalanced . by 9tautaal Eremont's skilful handling of his troops and the coolness and determination with which he pressed his success.

Stanton Steretary of War : [Nd.4o.] The army left Harrisonburg at six this morn ing, and at half past eight ray advance engaged the rebels about seven miles from that place, Union Church. The enemy was very advan tageously posted in the timber, having chosen his own peaition, forming a smaller circle than oar own, and with his troops formed in masses. It consisted, undoubtedly, of Jackson's en tire force. The battle began with heavy firing at 11 o'clock, and lasted With great obstinacy and violence until 4in the afternoon. Some skirmishing and artillery firing continued from that-time until dark. Our troops fought oc casionally under the murderous fire of greatly superior numbers, the hottest of the small arm fire being on the left wing, which was held by General Stahl's brigade, consisting of five regi ments. Bayonet and caniater shot were used freely with great effect by'itiur men. The lota on both sides is very great, and OMB is very heavy among the officers. A. full ,re port of those who distinguished themselves will be made without partiality.
