more hostile in their feelingsaainsa each
other than when the rebellion brgan.- A
Richmond paper before us, alluding to a
'gOstlible reconstruction of the Union, in a
most malignant tiradcitgaiast the..-Nerth,.
declares such tt.s . lmpossible as for
"the Yankees to breithe - the breath of lire
into the dead bodies of those who `fell in
defense of Southern institutions." We
have no idea, ; however; that these are the
sentiments of the great bulk of the South
ern people. • 'I he lines we have quoted
are from the Richmond - Dispatch; tiger
reading them. we were attracted by equal
ly silly a display of -bittemess, in
yesterday's issue of its namesullte,publish
ed in Pittsburgh, justifying and applaut
iog the Abolition agitation of thirty Years.
Our city cotemporary 'gives us quite -a
lengthy article, of which the following is - a
sample. Speaking, of the early agitatiors
of the slavery question, it says:
"In their oiinion slavery was not only
condemned by Divine law, but every
law - ofinortitarid social intercothise. They
held that the opening lines_ of the Deciara
tiCiti="that all men are created _equa r P- ,
:that they are endowed by their, Dreator
with;:l;eits.in inalienable rights, "that
among these are life, liberty and the pur
suits of happiness,' —meaut exactly what
they said, and that the signers of that doc
ument had no idea of excluding ,men,of
bltick Orred skin's - from the benefit of their
declaration."
What a strange confusion of •ideas is
here presented? Those who signed the
Declaration of Independence pruclaitned
the equality of the white people of the
Colonies with those of the mother country,
and not the equality of the white, black
and red skins inhabiting this country.—
This is.evident enough from the notorious
fact, that .the greatest champions of that
declaration were extensive slave holders,
all the colonies at the time having that
institution among them.
, .
We are daily receiving accounts acros
he lines, of the dreadful condition. o
t hings in rebeldom. The soldiers are on-
ty kept from open mutiny and insubordi
nation by the promises held out That
peace will be made in ninety days. Th e
my is very tired. of the war. and would Ac
cept peace on any terms which would re
itore them to their homes again. Tin.
people too, even in Mississippi openly PX
press a wish that the Yankees would Ci#llP
along and end tlie farce. The ilenicraii. , •.•
tioe among the Louisiana and Arkansas
troops at Port Hudson is represented to
be extreme, and thousands would desert it
an opportunity offered. The oonscription
is found to be a very slew sod also a
very dangerous business. The people kill
every officer who comes around hunting
up conscripts. At least twenty have been
killed in the performance of this kind of du•
ty. The people will not serve as conscripts
if they can avoid it, and the swamps and
hiding places of Louisiana are full of fu-
Vives between the ages of IG and 60.1
What a relief will the coming of the
Union troops be to these ! Provisions,cloth
, e heartless speculators and the more
heartless loaders. It is said that if the
.supply of salt was cut off for three monhts
it would crush the rebellion. Salt might
save the Union.
FROM CAIRO.
A special dispatch to the Chicago Timer:,
from Cairo. dated February 3d, says :
"Sunday night, about 11 o'clock, an at
tack was made on Island No. 10 by a large
number of rebels, probably 3,ooo—com ;
posed of cavalry, infantry and artillery.—
They had crossed the Obion River in fiat
boats and skiffs, and stationed themselves
on the Tennessee shore, with three six
pounders. A transport with troops, pass
mg jest as they arrived; fired on and corn•
pelled to come to. The light draught gnu
boat New Era arrived, and, with six 24-
pounders stationed at the island, immedi
ately returned the fire,-and shots were ex
changed for some time quite freely. After
one hundred rounds were fired, the enemy
gave way aid beat a hasty retreat, since
which time they have not shown any dis•
position to renew the attack. The trans
port, of course,. was released from their
clutches. No causulties are reported. The
troops . stationed on the island did not
participate in the fight, there being but a
small garrison and no opportunity to" ef
feet anything. The New Era continued to
shell the Tennessee shore until yesterday
morning, and convoyedpassing boats.--
The iron clad gunboat Eastport, thickly
plated and heavily armed, went down yes
terday morning to remain at the Island,
and with the New Era will sufficiently pro •
test the works there, and keep the enemy
at'a respectful distance.

lationis.l.. • •
To the Editor of' the N. Y. Tines :
Permit me to draw the attention' of • your
self, as well MI that 'of the pUblic, to an
arithmetical error which rikscoverlii the
communication ° headed, ! fhe National
Banking Seheme," and dated at Washing,-
ton on the 27th inst. The'9ommunication
appeared in your issue of- this morning.
I infer, of course, that the mistake Was
was not made by the anti+ of the arti
cle;'bnt by the Hon. Robert J. Walker,
whOseyproposition -is merely re -stated. I
will give you the worlds precisely as they
occur:
"At GO. per cent. premium," he tells
us, "if our , yearly expenses reach $700,-
000,000 in paper, this wduld command
only $280,000,000 irrgold, thus subjecting
the Govern Meat to a lose Of $420,000,000
per, 'annum, or deducting seasonably for
interest saved on the the prOceeds of the
(operation, the net loss may be stated at
$408,800,000 per annum, from.the use of
a redundant, and,. therefot!e, depreciated
currency." .
I was strucl:' with the desire to .test the
truth of this financial pre p osition, and
immediately' proceeded t? do so, and
found that Mr. Walker had overstated the
net loss to the Government, to the amount
or $144;,;i00,000. It I might presumwto
ask for sufficient room in ybur columns, I
could show the .existence of the error by
an atitionetical demonstration reqniring
some space; but I will fotibear, and will
only offer this simple prowl to he worked
by others at their leisure]: It it takes
$l6O of paper currency to buy $lOO in
gold,low much gold can bu had tor $700,•
Ooo,oot, of paper'.'

• It is strange that "Hayward" should
refer to a statement about my article, par
porting to be published in Ithe Time, by
one of your correspondebts, when he
could so easily have had access to the ar
ticle, over my own signature, published in
the Cuntinental Monthly. That article, in
advance sheets front the Continental
Monthly, was published ear)y in January
last, in pamphlet form, and 'circulated by
thousands in New lurk and elsewhere.
It was also published in some of the New
York papers about the middle of Janu
ary, and shortly afterwards in the Crmti
nental Monthly itself. I
My statement was as follo w s:,
"Gold now commands premium of
thirty-two per cent., payable in Treasury
notes; but if such itsnes !be increased
one hn!t: they would fall to fifty per cent..
and, if doubled, to at least sixty per cent
tee/ou• specie.. At the last i rate, if our
yearly expenditures, paid in paper, reach

You will perceive that the difference be
tween premium and ,1i.,..0unt, confounded
by "Hayward... is clearly stated to me.—
My statement is, that if Treasury notes
fell "sixty per cent. below specie,'' $.700,-
tslo,ooo of such notes "would cotatuand
but $2 , 30,000,00" and in the same ratio
at "thirty-two ner cent dixrdun.t." Vet.

deducted from 4,•700,0450,tt00, !leaves the
loss as stated by me, $224.000.1100.
This is a mutter of vital importance, not
' only.to our finances. but as exposing the
Government to extreme danger. If our
annual expenses are Sitst,o4.si,ol,to in gold,
'or its equivident, and this $7,000,000,000
in. paper should eventually con:imam' but
i,...'280‘00000 0 in gold, it is quite 1 -lear th.
our finances would soon be ovi rthrowr at

REBEL NEWS FROM RIOHMOND
XXXVIII CONGItESS-2/1 SESSION
DEATE OV AN EDITOR.
=MEE
NEW YORK, February 9.—The gunboats
Circassian and Water Witch have arrived
from Port Royal, the latter for repairs.—
The Circassian brings six officers of the
rebel steamer Huntress, which was burn
ed off Charleston on January 7th. She
was commanded brCapt. H. D. Bremond,
formerly of the United States Nayy. She
had two passengers, J. M. Vernon, for
therly editor of the New Orleans Picay
une, and Thomas Steers, principal owner
of the vessel. The steamer and cargo is
valued at $160,000, and consists of 320
bales of cotton. We have all the officers
with the exception of the paymaster and
executive officer as prisoners on board the
Circassian.
The rebel' prisoners report that when
they left Charleston the rebel gunboats
were preparing for a dash at our vessels,
and only waiting for our iron-cMds to go
down to Nit Royal to join in the Ogekee
fight. They state that the rebel iron-clad
Chicara is a fine new vessel of a thousand
tons, and about six feet above water. She
will make is; good fight with our New Tron
sides being armed with the best English
rifledcannon.
The neutral British steamers Herald,
Herd and Ariel wigs at Charleston on the
17th. • The Hers of 2,200 tons, and
has 2,400 bales of cotton on board. She
probably escaped on the night of the late
reported fight. '1 he Ariel has over 1,200
bales of cotton on board, waiting to run
tits blockade.
The rebels in Charleston are well post
ed in our military movements. The Cir
cassian has nothing later hum New Or
-I:Ana, but reports that when coming out
of the Southwest Pass, she saw a light
ahead, but the vessel, which proved to be
the rebel pirate Alabama, was too fast for
her.
HAYWARD
A Key West fisherman reports having
been spoken by the C. S. gunboat Alaba
ma, which was watchiai for her piratical
namesake. The Circassian has also on
board several rebel deserters from Fort
Morgan and the rebel gunboats in Mobile
harbor. They all report that great diesel
islaction exists there.

PLI II.MIELPHIA, Feb. 9. - The Richmond
Examiner of the f..th and Enquirer of the
tth instant have been received. They con
tain the following:
CHARLESTON, February 3.—The British
frigate 2admus brings intelligence that a
most formidable naval and land expedi
tion was about to attack Charleston, and
preparations are now nearly complete.
The Cadmus brings orders for the British
Consul to go on board and get to Havana
as so,n as possible. He will leave next
:iaturday.
The Yankee naval and laud forces are
gathering at Port loyal. It is Supposed
that the troops are drawn cbietly from the
North Carolina coast. The iron clad Iron
,:ides is still off the bar this morning, with
If; other Yankee steamers.
VI( 'KR HI no, Feb. 9.—The Ye tik ee ram
Queen of the West went down the river
yesterday afternoon with the, intention, it
is supposed, of destroying the shipping
between this point and Port Hudson.
She was fired into at Warrenton, but with
out effect.
dacKsow, Feb. 4.—The Federal ram
pae n o isf the. A .t.... 1 i 1 6 6 b 6 r-stervi c or Mid
landed at the
Natchez, on
the same evening. A guard of men was
sent on shore, who attempted to capture
Col. X lurk, but he escaped; the rain
then steamed down the river, doing con.
siderable damage.
WAsitisqluti, Feb. t , . --.Sot se.—Mr.
Stevens. of Pennsylvania. from the Com
mittee of Ways and Means, reported the
Indian and Civil Appropriation Bill.
Mr. Dawes, of Mass., from the Corn •
mittee on Elections, made a report ad
verse to the credentials of It. Rodgers
and Lewis McKenzie, the former claiming
a seat front Tennessee, and the latter from
the Seventh District of Virginia.
The House then resumed the censidera
:ion of the bill to c.mstruct u slop canal
for the passage of armed and naval ves•
sels from the Mississigpi river to Lake
Michigan. and for the enlargement of the
locks of the Erie canal and Oswego canal
of New York, in order to adapt them to
the defense of the Northern lakes.
Mr. Babbitt, of Va., had no doubt of
the constitutional power to construct im
provements for the benefit of commerce,
but a review of surrounding circumstances
confirmed him in the belief that the present
was not the proper time to enter upon
the work so extensive. All our resources
should be devoted to the suppression of
the rebellion.
Mr. }Moor end, of Pa., did,not object to.
this measure\ps one of commerce, but was
opposed to its consummation now, when
we can scarcely raise means to pay our
troops. He presented a letter fromAd
:Hirai Foote to show ttiere was not pus
,. ieut water at the mouth of the Ohio to
take up gunboats to - the Lakes. CdinfnO:
dore Davis coincided with that popular
naval officer. In fact, all practical men'
looked on the project us preposterous.
Mr Arnold, of Illinois, said it had nev
er been contended by the friends of the
bill that boats built for navigation on the
Mississeippi river,. were suitable for Lake
service, and produced a letter from
Rear dmiral, D. D.
.Porter, stating that
larger light draught boats can be passed
up to the Lakes, and those drawing eight
feet of water can be lightened to six feet
