Field tj. Kelley. A specimen of the manners of the ''loy al rorTians whom the Abolitionists have hired to "reconstruct" the Southern States, occurred in Washington last. week. The Tribune gives the following version of the elegant affair : While Judge Keliey, mem ber of the house from Philadelphia, was al Willard's at supper, near midnight, Field, -one of the applicants lor admissiou from Louisiaoa.be led at him with an oa:h, from another pari oi the table, tha he was afraid .to show his hand on the question of admit- ting the Louisiana delegation. The Judge made no reply to the man who was a strati ger to rum. J?ielu tecame- louuiy protane and abusive. Kel'ey then quietly said to him, J' When my name is called in the House oo tDat vote, it will not take me loug to Jecide on your case, Sir-" Field shout ed : D n y"oo,'you Northerners want us ' back in toe union taa, and you tongrees- meo dare not face your constituent if you J don't let Us in," and then (talked out of the .dining-room swearing that he "would take car of Keliey and all Northern Congress men like him and laid in wait tor him in 'the ball. As Keliey passed a few miii ctes afterward Field, a powerful, tall man, throttled him and drove a bowie knife at him. Kelley is said to have warded the blade with an upward motion of his arm, which caught the knife on the back of hi hacd and laid it open to the bone.

Wherpas. Louring many years past asso ciations and large bodies of citizens in th" non-B.'aveholding States have evinced and carried out the steady purpose of assailing, by all the means they can employ, the pe culiar institutions of the Southern States, and have aided the attack by vituperative addresses and speeches, by abolition peti tions to Congress, by inflamatory dis courses, and by exaggerated appeals to the prejudices and passions of the ignorant ar.d fanatical : And Where-s Much sympathy has been exhibited and encouragement given in the non flaveholding States to bands of lawless ruffians making attacks upon the slavehold ing States, ard endeavoriu" to incite in sarrection among the slaves: And Whereas. A formidable and pow erful party, cftlled Republican, existing ex clusively, with slight and insignificant ex ceptions, i the non-slaveholding States, lias proclaimed that slavery shall be prohib ited by action of Congress in the Territories thus showing a deliberate hostility to the South : And wherpas, Many of the non-lave-holding States have pas.-ed laws wiih the design and wish the effect' ol embarassing and preventing the operation of that clau-e of tha Constitution and the laws of Con gress passed in accordance therewith, in regard to the reclaiming of fuaitive slaves, thus trampling on one of the clearest and mot valued rights secured tv the Sou'h by the Constitution and laws : And Whereas. The election of Abraham Lit coin and Hannibal Hamlin to the Presi deucy and Vice Presidency has given jist caur-e of alarm to all the ciuzens of the South and req-iires their deierm m?d, vig orous and un'red action to the principles which it is bilieved will guiile the admin istration - ' And Whereas. We feel, as citizens of Louisiana that our rignts have been invad ed, our opinions outraged and our institu tions imperilled by the triumph and atti tude ol a sectional party : And Where a, The danger which pre sentb i'elf to us is one we share in com mon with all l'6 slaveholding S-ates, and appears in a shape which forbids us to sep arate ourselves at the present perilous junc ture from the other eIaehoMin States ; but on the contrary, impels an f requires us to lender to tbem our own, and seek their sympathy and co operation ; therelore, be it Raolveii. That,the time has come which demands prompt arid vigoro.is action on the part of the Suuth to assert and maintain her rights, and to proclaim to the world that she wid no longer sab.uit to the evils which environ her. Renolued, That we are in favor of, a thorough co-operation of the slaveholding States in the crisis which has been thrust upon us, both in orJer thai we may pre sent an untroke i from in the maintenance of rights in which alThave an equal inter est, and that in cae of revo'ution we may immediately form a new government; and avoid an inierregnnm, with its disquiet, doubt and insecurity. .Resolved -That we are oppoed to all separate and hasty Sta'e action.'believinc that it will tend to defeat or delay co-opera tion, and prevent a thorough cnion of Southern sentiment. Resetted, That in times like these, when each day is full of changes, and no nan can pretend t oread the future, it is the duty of th people to select men to represent them in the convention, of ability honor Land known devotion to the South, and that nuch delegate should go to the convention coirammeled ar.d unpledged, free to act for the best interests of their cons'itnents.

If the vote of the people be in favor of united South vision ol th ern co-operatiorr, then the pro- the convention relative . to united Jor.thern action are to be .regarded as sion, then the action of the convention, predicatedthereupon, shall become final.

THE UMR NElVSt Fi on the Age oj (he 27th inst We have received some interesting partic ulars of the late advance of the Coufeder ate iron-clads upon City Point. The Fed eral fleet in the James river has been very much weakened, many of the vessels be ing Fent to reinforce Porter a fivet at Wil mington. The Confederates, taking advan tage of this on last Tuesday morning sent three iron-clad vessels, four wooden cnes and some torpedo boats from their anchor age near Fort Darling, on a voyage down the James. The vessels started at midnight and came down pat Cox's Landing and around the bend above the Dutch Gap Ca nal. They passed the norih end of the ca nal and sailed by Fort Brady and the Crow's Nes batteries without the Federal garrison ol either work knowing anything of it. They passed on around Trent's Reach, and at daylight anchorad below the Howlett House battery, ur.der the protection of its guns. Their crews began removing the obsiructions that ere placed there bv i - - jrani o oruers lasi summer, as soun there was light enough, the presence of the ves sel was revealed, and shelling began from the Federal batteries on bof sides ol the James. The guiis around Dutch Gap, on the nor h side, could not carry lar enough, but the suns at the north end of the Ber muda Hundred work poured a raking fire through the Confederate fleet. There was the u tmost consternation at City Point, and through all the Federal li nes. Gen, Grant telegraphed to Washing'on for aid, and with but a half hour's notice Admiral Far ragut, who happened to be in town, was sent down to take command o! the Federal fleet. One of the wooden vessels got fast in the obstructions, however, and this turned the tide of affairs, fief crew abandoned her and ble her np. They went on board of the other ves-els. The remainder of the fleet then gave no futrher attempt to get down ihe river, and sailed back towards Richmond. as they passed Fort Biady a:id the naight oring batteries they were vig. orouslf shelled, but the shells rolleJ off the i I sides of the vessels without doing the i slightest damage. The result of this at tack has been to open a channel through the j Federal obstraciions, so that, hereafter, the Confederate vessels can pass through thern without difficulty. As these obstructions are immediately under the Howlett House batterries, it is out of the power of the Fed eral trocps to c!bs3 the channel again al thai. point. The vesel that was destroyed was the D re wry, a small wooden gunboat carrying two guns. We have news from Fortress Monroe of a second advance by the Confederate vessels, which is said to have beeu unsuccessful, but no details are given. . j There is a general crncentration of troops for an attack upon the rear of Mobile. - We have already reported a reinforcement sent i to Gen. Granaer in the Pascagoula river, from Forts Morgan and Gaines. An expe dition ol twenty lhouand men, to co oper ate with him, is organizing at New Orleans. The troops were drawn from Memphis and Nashville. We yes'erday had information hal the Confederate priva'eer Shertandna had captured several Federal merchantmen) off j the Brazilian coasic She was seen on December 5th, in lattituda 12.25 south, longitude 37.40 west. From the Age of the 28A inst. There seems to be scarcely a doub? that General MeaJe has been removed from his command in General Grant's army. He was in Washington with bis staff on Thurs day. General Sheridan is to succeed him, Meade and Grant are not on friendly terms. They have not been lor a long lime. It is stated that when the Confederate iron-clads came down the James river on Tuesday-f the commander of the Federal monitor Onondaga, that was at anchor be low the south end of the Dutch Gap canal, expressly to prevent such a movement, be came terribly frightened. He at once got up steam and sailed down to city pointr giving most incoherent reports ot disaster above In about two hours a telegram came from Washington dismissing him from the service. The Confederate General Early has been removed from command in the Shenandoah Valley he is succeeded by General Gordon. Sheridai's army is quiet at Winchester On Januajy 20ih he sent out a reconnots sance, two hundred strong-, vhich marched down the valley to Woodstock. Here they surprised a small Confederate camp, cap turing about fifty prisoners. They turned back towards Winchester, but bad not gone, tar when the Confederate attacked . them, released arl the prisoners, seized the camp equipage and baggage, and killed wounded and captured about seventy Federal sol diers. The remnant of the party was com ing into .Winchester in small parties on Tuesday last. , Ho. Edward EveRtcrrdied suddenly, of .1 r. T-t-.s-n Tia fi nn t"(r fr" list of Drafted Men.

Wood, I-d. af Prop ietor lrp orCE S3 IP CJ2 1 UQ SS a I The Democracy ol iht N rth will com .mi' a lata I error if i hey acceoi the result of (the late Presidential election a an indica tion Irom ihe hand of: Deiiuy lo relax Iheir political action until ihe opening of the next campaign. The future welfare-of ttie republic depends unon ihe political zeal and activity of the Democracy durin" th year 1865. The small mijority of the popular vole that elected the Black Republican candi dates, considered in view of ihe extraordi nary resources of the Administration for corruption and compulsion attests that tha power of the Dsrnok-racy, on a fair field, is equal to iht vindication of Democratic principles. There is one feature in the result of the Presidential election that gvjes far to re concile the patriot to the hard fate of hisj country under four yea rs mor of Placlc Republican misrule. The balef-il meteor that lingered in grief whiU in our p jlnieal Latmo-phere has varnshe I for e.vr. War Democracy has lulh led its mision of di orjanizaiion, and like any other pestilence will be'remsmbered only for the. evil it has done. . The New York News needs no testimony beyond it- plain unalterable record to sub stantiate its claim to being and having been the most earnest, able and consistent States' Rights Journal in the land. Wt have no excuses to invent for modifications of sentiment, nor h ive we to pU ad ''ex pediency" in pklliaiion of inconsistency. Our path hat been straig1 t forward. Our column' are before the people, not a line in them that we would cancel nor senti ment we would recall, not an as-ertio'i that requires an explana ion, not a word that we regret io have ufered, not a prin ciple advocated that we have no' stood by and will stand by to the l-tsi. S .ch has been our pa.-t rerord, so will be our future. We do not, however, ak the Democracy to sustain us in our mi-smu a a reward for the service we have ('one, but in con sideration ol the aoi'd work that we pro pose lo do. Th N-w Yoik NVw for 1865 will not merely imi'ate. its predecessors, it will excel them. It shall bt rot only the t'uest exponent ct Democtalie principle, hut the best iC!ri,ia;er in the country.
