DAILY PORT. Ih* Vadon as It was i The Constitution as It is I FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 20. 49* RcmUsi matter on every pace, AN INDICATION, The citizens of Illinois, on Tuesday, adopted a new Constitution for that State, by from twenty-fire to thirty thousand majority. One clause in this new instru ment is hard upon tho negro—excluding him from the State, and this is reported to have received in the city ot Chicago an al most unanimous vote. The same feeling of hostility to the negro is doubtless visi ble throughout the State. Here we have a practical illustration of the effect of ab olition teaching. There is not, even in New England, nor in the Western Re serve, a more infatuated set of abolition agitators than there is in Illinois. Trum bull and Lovejoy, the leaders in Congresß, are fair representatives of the feeling of their party t and they have been, during the present Congress, foremost in the sup port of every measure calculated to elevate the slave population of the South. W heth er it is right or not, it is not necessary to inquire j but that the two races can never live upon the abolition idea of equality, is becoming more manifest with every day’s experience. The negro and the Indian must recede, or become extinct, when encountered by the steady, un ceasing, exacting and unscrupulous whites. Mr. Jefferson said that the two races, “equally free," could not live under the same government; one or the other, must, give place: the peculiar mental and physical characteristics of each prevent equality; and, this is not the result of prejudice or education either, but the consequence of a conviction of superiority, which no amount of rea soning and eloquence can remove. But, are these inferior people to remain in per petual bondage, because they are not our equajs; we hope not; and yet. at the present moment, we do not know of any scheme of immediate emancipation which is calculated to improve their condition.— To lgt loose four millions of slaves, would be as heartless an act as the abandoning of childhood to the charities of the world.— But whether it be right or wrong, one thing is manifest; the free laborers of the North or the South either, will never per mit negro labor to - come in competition with theirß. The late vote in Illinois is another over whelming illustration of this fact. Wo may regret-this as much as we will: we may dwell upon its injustice nml oppression, but when was human nature any better than it is now; and when is it likely to im prove ? From the commencement we have been nothing but oppressors and cheats, continually filching what we could from weaker powers. We do not allude to the American connection of the human family but to the whole set, although there is no doubt of our Anglo Saxon branch being the worat. English forefathers, from the time ofEdward the First, have been but exten aiverobbers. They began their career of crime by absorbing Wales, Ireland and Scotland ; and that government has been going on in the same bold and defiant manner ever 9ince. We, England's de scendants, and inheritors of her laws and customs, are no better than she. As soon as we were of age we began to exhibit our blood; we fixed upon the immense terri tory of Louisiana, belonging to France, containing now an area of six Slates, and Napoleon gave it to us for fifteen millions of dollars, because he knew very well that we would take it if he did’nt. Then we got the Floridas for a mere song, because Spain knew she could’nt hold them; we an nexed Texas, which is four times as large ae Pennsylvania; we fooled Mexico into a war in order to make her give up to ns the Californias, a thousand miles on the Pacific coast; we have had our eye on Cuba for twenty years, and have been filli bustering around wherever an opening offered, either in the border States of Mexico or South America. There is no limit to our avarice, and desire to appropri ate to ourselves what belongs to others; and, if the present rebellion were put down and the Union again restored, we would find an idea immediately started for the absorption of both Mexico and Canada, in order to remunerate us for the expenses of the contest. The stalwart native of the central por tion of this Continent has melted away before the intrigues and injustice of the whites; would we be less cruel to the black man? No, indeed, but worse.' Injustice,' cruelty and oppression increase with na tions as they advance in power, and the people of the United States wouid not bo an exception to this rule. . The correspondent of the Wheeling Prtn at Hanover Court Honse remarks: To the particulars furnished by telegraph to the Associated Press, through their cor respondent at General McClellan’s head quarters, I have only to add that the 9th Massachusetts and the 62d Pennsylvania, comprising a number of Western Pennsyl vanians, including some from Washington county, behaved like veterans, and aided matenaUy in the rout of the rebel force (under Gen. Branch, who was worsted at Newbera by Burnside,) by a bayonet charge. The 9th Massachusetts is an Irish regiment, and went in with three cheers and a Tipperary yell, charging three quarters of a mile in unbroken line of two ranks. The troops of this army are, about to a mu, terribly sick of the inevitable nigger, and they do not hesitate to say that they came into the army to fight for tchite men and not for negroes. The Hunter procla lasrion created disgust and universal dis satisfaction, ud the President’s procla mation counteracting orrather squelching it was read amid great applause: Many, both officers, in this division, SfeUi rtf radica l Abolitionists ovOr* tM war, are now among the truly Wgfgy’ ” d e f* er for the restoration Sgj lawmakers. J IQT-The Pittsburgh Gazelle is growing as destitute of decency as it has been of brains; it stops at no assertion howe>er absurd and senseless. Yesterday, after garbling an article of ours, it said: ‘ ‘The Bepnblian Administration, and the Republican party in Congress, and through the press, have always, and under all cir cumstances, urged on the war, and advoca ted the using of all the power of the na tion for putting down the rebellion in the shortest possible time, regardless of its effects upon slavery. Any assertion to the contrary is as false as false can he. Our reply to this of yesterday is the fol lowing from the same Gazette of Wednes day, the day before: “Slaveholders, as a rule, are disloyal, are secessionists. Then originated the war, they wage the war, they beep up the war. They arc tho head and front of the war. But for slavery there would have been no war. “Is it not then sheer justice that slavery should be punished? If sluvery has waged a war, and been defeated, should it. not suffer the natural consequences of its acts?" “ Let the free States beware 1 Heal up this breach now by protecting slavery from the natural consequences of its crime, re store as far as you canthe Unionasitwas, and permit slavery to exist and go unpun ished, and if ever a foreign wur breaks out, these very slaveholding traitors will be found on the side of the foe. “The South must be purified, by the destruction of slavery, and of a slavehold ing aristocracy, before there can be per manent peace, or a perfect Union. There is but little use in endeavoring to argue and reason with such a blinded fan atic and fool as ho who penned tho two articles from which we have quoted. Oa Wednesdaythe shameless creature tells us that restoring the Union ns it was is the sumof all villainies; yesterday it announces that its anxiety is for putting down the re bellion, “regardless of its effects upon slavery. : ’ Intervention m American A flairs The foreign mails received by the China contain many interesting items relating to Amarican affairs. The latest London date is June 7.—one week later than previous mails. A brief telegraphic summitry of the China's news has already be.-a pub lished : A ('overt Tltrenl »l' Intervention. The London Times of the itb lias a long article on American affairs, con cluding with this implied threat of inter vention : “The fact that the cotton uf the youth was very needftil to ns made the war more distressing, but furnished, in our view, no valid ground for intervention. Past inju ries, if wo did not think fit to resent them when the Union wns strong and united, we thought it below our dignity to resent in the moment of its weakness and adver sity. Future security we preferred to look for rather in the good feeling which our conduct seemed to us peculiarly calculated to produce than in availing ourselves of the temporary weakness and heavy mis fortun'e of a kindred people. In this point only we confess we see some reason to believe that wo may have been mistaken. ‘•We do not believe that, had we pushed to the utmost the advantages circumstances threw in our way, we could have been the objects of more bitter hostility, not only among the ignorant mid misguided, but among many of tho=e whose education and information should taught tlo-m belter.— We may possibly live to repent our gener osity. We may possibly live to find that our moderation has been displayed towards those who cannot appreciate it. It might have been wiser to take security for our selves instead of confiding in the fairness and good feeling of others. Jf this fact be established the error is stiil reparable. The North cannot see that we have done anything to entitle us, we do not sav to gratitude or good will, but to abstinence from hatred anil reviling. A change of policy on the pari of this country would very speedily alter their opinion and con vince them of that which they scc-m now unable to conceive—that they have been treated by England as they never have treated her, and as, if she bail thought more of her o-.vu interest and less of their misfortune, she never would have treated them. - ’ Gov. Andrew Repudiated by the Mayor of Boston. The following letter to President Lincoln has come to light: Mayor’s Office, City Hall, Boston, i May 2Hd, ISO 2. [ SIK : — I am induced to write you this from a sense of duty, for the purpose of repudiating, in the most emphatic manner, the idea that the Governor of Massachu setts is authorized to speak for the loyal citizens of the State in proposing nuy con ditions in regard to the question of sla very as affecting a further requisition ay you for volunteers. There may, possibly, be small sections, or towns in the commonwealth, where the doctrine of emancipation and arming the slaves is regarded with favor, and might be made an excuse for non-enlistment; but I assure your Excellency that in Bos ton, and I believe in a large majority of the other cities and towns in the State, the mingling of questions in relation to slavery with the crushing out of the pres ent rebellion, is viewed with the strongest feelings of disapprobation, while the ef forts you have made to resist the interpo lation of this discordant element, and to restore the Union on the basis of the Con stitution, as evinced in your appointment of Governors Johnßon and Stanley, your sustaining of General McClellan, and your general conservatism in all the essential matters pertaining to the conduct of the war, has given hope and confidence to ev eVy Union-loving heart in our State. notwithstanding the opinion of the Gov ernor, I believe that Massachusetts may be relied upon for any call yon may make upon her patriotism in the present emergency, and that her citizens general!;/ have no sympathy with those who are agitating the question of emancipation at this time, and 1 am confident that if this subject was in troduced in conformity with the views of Gov. Andrew, it would produce a serious, if not an irreparable injury to the cause of enlistment. I beg you, therefore, to make your re quisition upon the State of Massachusetts with confidence in the loyalty and devotion of her citizens, and with the assurance that Boston will as cheerfully respond in the fnture as in the past to any demand of the Government. Trusting that you will continue to be firm and resolute in your endeavors for the restoration and welfare of our common country, and ignoring all other issues which tend to prevent the ac complishment of this great object, I have the honor to be, sir, with great, respect, your obedient servent, Joseph M. Wightmas, Mayor. His Excellency Abraham Lincoln, Presi dent of the United States, Washing ton, D. C. Substitute for Cotton. The French journals claim to have found a substitute for cotton in a common plant, which will produce the fibre in abundance. It possesses, they say, all the attributes of cotton, perhaps they can help out Eng land dunngthe cotton dearth. The ereat effort of France and England will be to render themselves independent of the United (or the divided) States of America commercially and politically, and inter vention in Mexico looks exclusively to this end. latest from the sooth. From the Richmond Wide. Getting Pinched fhr Food* The citizens of Richmond, we are glad to see, are awakened to a proper estimate of the shameful extortion practised upon them in various articles of food furnished the market, while, not thirty miles around the country, the very same articles for which they pay down a small fortune here daily are selling at the most moderate of prices, and in abundance at that. It is plain that unless the authorities move in the matter of getting these supplies into the city there will be want in our midst be forejinid-summer. With the cutting off of railroad cummunication on the east and north by the enemy, and the monopolizing of the roads south and west by the Con federate government, it must be evident to every one that the people can do noth ing towards getting provisions to the Rich mond market, in any abundance,especially when the wagon roads are impassable with mire. As the enemy draw their lines of communications, the need will become greater as chances of reaching the country are lessened. Rebel Viewsol’JlcClellaii-N<'am- paifCii. From the Richmond Whig, June 1-1. The brilliant operations of Gen. Jackson in the valley of the Shenandoah, crippling and dispersing tho forces of Milroy and Schenok at McDowell—of Banks at Front Knval and Winchester—of Fremont at Cross Keys, and Shields at Port Republic, have had n wide reaching and important bearing on the war. These several corps were to have been consolidated and brought across the Blue Ridge en route for Rich mond. When they reached the Rappahan nock, McDowell, with his Fredericksburg army, was to fall into liue, and the united columns were to be precipitated on the devoted ».ity from the North. At the same time, it is probable Burnside was expected to he on baud from the South, advancing up the South side of the James from the direction of Suffolk, in conjunction with the Monitor and its consorts, in tho river. The capital being thus assailed frbm the North and South, McClellan was to make the grand attack from the Fast, in front. Tho plan was a gigantic one, and, in all probability, would have succeeded, but for the masterly movements of Jackson, com pletely paralyzing the Valley force, and compelling McDowell to detach a large portion of his army to save Banks and Company from demolition, and their mpitul from capture. Thus left without co-operation amt succor, McClellan is afraid hi strike. fium the Richmond Examiner, Juno U. It L. uncertain whether McClellan’s army has lullen back to a fortified camp in the rear of his first position or further; and as the art and practice of making recoil noißsance in force seems to be unknown to military men in America, and the Con federates have not gotten so far iu French as to understand the. use of balloons, there is probably little information worthy of reliance in the possession of any person or persons in Richmond. One thing is manifest, that McClellan'is not attacking the Confederate lines or operating against the city. As he came here for these pur pose*, and as he published to nil mankiud the intention to “push us to the wall,’* tin* lact that he is doing nothiug of the sort, that he h»s drawn his pickets back, and sicts i\< if only occupied about the safety of his army, proves that there is a terrible hitch or slip somewhere, and that the plan of his campasgn has been inter polated with an important digression. That swift-footed Achilles, who has routed Banks, destroyed Shields, and smit ten Fremont, will give McDowell a long day’s work. He may find a grave in his way before he turns again towards Rich mond. At any rate the design dependent on his co operation must be abandoned, and perhaps McClellan is not less perplex ed than ourselves to decide which shall he the new plan. The Evacuation of Corinth. From tho Richmond Whig. June 14th. Perhaps the most embarrassed and worst stultified man now in the war is llallcck, since the evacuation of Corinth by Beau regard. Carefully avoiding a battle after the lesson of Shiloh, llallcck had, with infinite labor and outlay, moled his sub terranean way to tlie very precincts of Beauregard’s fortifications, uo had plant ed his heavy siege guns, and warily laid his plans for cutting oft’ kis adversary’s supplies. The Confederate forces were to be starving while they were being shelled. Relief was to be cut off, relief intercepted, and nothing short of the capitulation of the \ ictor of Manassas, with his whole force, was_ to satisfy the ambitious and sanguine aukee. I Jiff? scheme was com plete, all but the tinal stroke which was to convert it into an accomplished fact. Just then, when ail Yankeedoodledom stood tiptoe, looking and listeuing for the coup dc grace, just when the triggers were to he sprung and the trap to fall, the wily Creole waved his magic wand, and his army was gone n 3 if by enchantment. Morningcume—the morning, perchance, that was to make Halleck immortal—and when his sentinels looked out, they saw not even the dust of the retreating foe. A vast army, with its countless adjuncts and accompaniments, its artillery, ammunition, stores, with even its sick and helpless, had silently and safely disappeared, and the eluded, foiled and baffled enemy could not so much as guess whither it had gone.— What, a predicament for an aspiring Gen eral to be in! What a figure to cut in history! Halleck must now renew his Sysipheuti toils—again to be baulked of, his hopes—or he must abandon the cam paign against Beauregard, and submit to the dividing up of his grand army for at*, tempts better suited to his and their ca pacity. flow they Console themselves for New Orleans. From tho Richmond Examiner, June 14. The Northern people exult over what they are pleased to call the- reopening of the Mississippi. That they virtually pos sess the river, and can use it for purposes of war, is unquestionable, but that the river is open to their commerce, or of oth er service to them than as a road for iron clad vessels, is untrue. Until the South ern Confederacy is destroyed, the Missis sippi cannot again become a channel for commerce. t\ hile a single point upon its vast extent, on cither bank, is accessible to hostile parties, it can convey armed vessels only, and although they have New Orleans and the principal strategic posi tions above it, they have not driven the Confederates from many hundred miles of its shores, whence they can stop trade and passages as completely as by the guns of Fort Pillow or Columbus. The fall of New Orleans and the conse quent conquest of the Mississippi, was a heavy blow to the Confederacy, and di minishes its resources for supplies. But it is far from being irretrievable. The recovery of that river will be as easy as its loss. Victories in the North will com pel the L nited States to recall its troops, even if the yellow fever does not do its work, in the next sixty days, so effectu ally as to leave none to recall. New ar mies will be formed in the States which border that river, which will retake New Orleans. - Threatening Descent ofthe En emy on East Tennessee. From the Richmond Examiner. June 14, Augusta, June 12.—The Savannah Re publican of this morning has a dispatch from Chattanoogn, dated the 11th inst., which says : “Information has been re ceived here of a very important character from the borders of Kentucky. It has been ascertained that the enemy has col lected an army of 25 regiments, in the vicinity of Ky., near Tennessee, 1 aad also received large ranfbrcements ofl artillety, and are boo threatening a de scent on East Tennessee. Nothing fur ther has been seen of tho enemy in this quarter.” Tfceftlxth SMACmUas. A member of the Sixth Palmetto regi ment says: “Our loss is irreparable. We entered the field of the Chickahominy with .521 men, all told; 31 were left dead on the field, and 180 wounded, many of whom haxe died since, and others now lingering in the clutches of death. Other seventeen are missing, some of whom are lying, per haps, unnoticed, on the densely-peopled field of battle. Our battle-flag was riddled by five balls, and the staff shot away by the Pennsylvanians, and the color-bearer mortally wounded.” “Btonewall Jackson.” The Richmond papers are filled with praises of their great leader. Stonewall Jackson, and John R. Thompson, the poet of Richmond, contributes a neat poem to the Examinerj entitled simply, “Ashby.” Heavy Loss. The Hampton Legion, of South Caroli na, went into the battle of the Hist ultimo, near Richmond, with 421 men, and in charging one of Casey’s batteries retired with a loss of 154 men killed and wounded. The Emancipation Commission. The commisioners, under the act for the release of certain persons held to service or labor in the District of Columbia, have published u list of claims preferred before them, showing the num ber of claimants up to Saturday last to be about seven hundred, and the liberated slaves, for which they desire to be paid, about twenty-tnree hundred. Theowners’ valuations are set down as ranging from $5O to $1,750 for each slave. It i 3 sup posed that there are not many more peti tions to be filed. The following are the latest: John McGinnis, 1 slave; Peter G. Washington, o; Oliva C. Wootten, 1; Alexander A. Greer, 2; Win. McKnew, 4: Penelope Tyler, 1; Josiah Dent, adminis trator, 1; Mary Throckmorton, 5; Charles Lyons, 1; Newton James Cox, 1; Thomas R. Brightwell, 5; Mary E. and Margaret Rientzell, 2; Virginia Nichols, 2: James H. Shrieve, 8j John Wilson, 1; Henry M. Hannon, executor, 1; Benjamin Beall, 4: Letiiia llorshman, 1: James Cox, 1. The commissioners are now engaged in exam ining claims of owners, taking testimony, Ac., in the course of which “ outside par ties” interest themselves to some extent, but thero has been little op no evidence of difficulty yet on the part of the commis sioners in coining »t all the facts they de tire, and disposing of cases favorably and promptly, as far as may b** done at this stage of proceedings. Changes in the Navy. The navy bill which Ims passed the House establishes new grades in the Navv. and assimilates the organization somewhat to foreign service.-. The creation of more admirals is provided for —the rank corres ponding with that of Major Generals. The change which naval affairs has lately un dergone requires very different qualifica tions in an admirnl or other officer from those which distinguished Nclmui or Perry. Seamen and gunnery and ?kitl in bringing fleets into uetion are of little account ms against iron-clad steamers ami revolving turrets, where lighting is dom- behind in vulnerable cannon. Instead of broadside*, steel prows decide the conflict. Ramming and batteries and an occasional shower of vitriol are to supercede the old fashioned fighting ships, yard-arm and yard-arm. It is an unmistakable and important fact that Jet). Davis is becoming v**rv unpopu lar in the South. The most outspoken of the Southern papers do not srruph- to u.-i -every harsh language regarding him. Tie ('on/ederaty, of Atlauln. is ulunte.-d at suggestions that the South must depose .led’.

Congress has inquired why the prize courts of Philadelphia and New York do not take action toward condemning some of the rebel vessels which have been cap tured. Three or four thousand seamen for na val service are immediately wanted. At present there are only 30 available men in all of New England. The question is asked where are the New England fish ermen? Surgeon General Harmar lias within the past five days provided a thousand beds for the sick and wounded in the hospitals here and in Northern cities. He has sent Dr. Volum, one of the newly appointed inspectors to the army of the Potomac, to relieve Dr. Tripler. This change could not be made until now, the medical inspec tors having been confirmed only within the present week. The complaints here tofore existing will therefore at once he remedied. An adjourned aneeting of Pennsylva nians was held to-night and perfected their organization; $l3OO has already been col lected. They intend to extend their field of operations and will send Committees to the army of the Potomac to attend to the sick and wonnded there, as well as in Washington.

United states sailing days, viz : On Saturdays from New York and \\ ed nesdays from Southampton or Liverpool. I’his arrangement, so long desired by the Department, will give increased efficiency to the United States mail steamship ser vice and prove of great advantage to the commercial interests of this country and of Europe. The Post Office Department reported to day the Post Office at Beaufort being the first office regularly re-established since the occupation of that place by the United States forces. According to a general order just pub lished furloughs will not be given by Cap tains of companies, or a furlough" from such authority will not relieve a soldier from the charge of desertion. Enlisted men absent from their regiment without proper authority are in fact deserters and not only forfeit their pay and allowances hut are subject to the penalties awarded by law to such offenders. No plea of sickness or other causes not sufficiently established and no certificate of a physician in civil life unless it he approved by some officer acting as a military commander will here after avail to remove the charge of deser tion or procure arrears of pay when a sol dier has been mastered absent from 1113 regiment without leave.
