Some of these incurable lunatics have within the hat ;won, become ravitg maniacs. Hay iug long silica satisfied themselves of the equality of the African with the Caucasian, they now advance a step further and de clare the former'e superiority. " The sculptor, who from out of the rock, brings the image of a God to light," undergoes a weary process before he accomplishes his undertaking; but our radical leaders, see in their sable brethren a race already perfect, possessing action "like an angel and comprehension like a God." We are positively informed by our radical philos ophers, that the irfhtitution of slavery has a degrading effect upon the whites where it exists; and the same authority assures us that the African, in many respects, is superior even to the boasted and marvel ous grandeur of the Anglo-Saxon. So, it will be seen, that while the "American of. African descent " degrades his white brother in one relation, he elevates, enobl es and improves him in. another—at least, so. reason the radicals, and they ought to know, In revolutionary times, when fanaticism is a power, the wildest opinions are those which hold temporary sway; the fanatics and. infidels of the French revolution, in their frenzy worshipped as the Goddess of Liberty, a creature whose virtue had long before been doubted ; our American fa notice with like halucination, degrade • thenitelves by worshipping an inferior race as the very God of their idolatry. At a regular anniversary meeting of the American Anti-Slavery Society, held in New York one evening last week, Mr. Tilton, a leading Abolitionist, not only advocated the superiority of the Ethiopean, but suggested amalgamation in order to improve the present race of Americans. We learn that he spoke of the relative positicn of the African race as higher than that of several other races, and thus entered into an elaborate argument in fa vor of amalgamation as the great future of oar country and race—its highest per fection coming where the amalgamation is most complete. He continued : " G'reat nations get the fibre of their strength out of mixed blood. It is •a stoppage of the world's growth to prevent a union of races. The history of the world s progress, the history of the eivilizaticn Of all empires, is written in one com prehensive word, which many men are afraid to speak and many others afraid to her, and that word i B- AMALGAMATION. We have need of the negro mirth—need of him for his imitating fecal t.es. Othello wit never be fitly represented until you Parmit anegro to go upon the boards to represent that character. We have need of the negro for his mmical faculties. The negro is a superior man—in some respects he is the greatest of men." Without undertaking to examine how a superior race can be improved by admix ture with its inferior, we are inclined to the belief that the amalgamation of some branches of the American with the Ethi opean, would produce an improvement upon either. Amalgamate our cold, icy, pulseless and savage fanatic, without "music in his soul," with an "American of African descent," and we are sure that the issues would be the founders of a su perior race. The frimlity, docility, and the animal of the latter, would do much to soften the rigid, exacting an intoler ant nature of the other. This amalgams- . tion we - would favor to an extent, but just then we would stop, for fear of having the humor and mirth or the negro forever lost, because of its contact with the chill ing, and freezing, and nipping nature a the other branch We think Mr. Tilton mistaken in his conception of Othello, and also in his be lief that we will never eee it fitly repre sented until it ie done by a negro.— We have seen several negroes attempt the character of the Moor, and without saying anything of their conception of the character itself, it is sufficient to say that the blank verse was itself too much for them. They were, indeed, "imatative," as Mr. Tilton observes, but nothing at all like the original. Bat we do not perceive wby Othello would be beet suited to the capabilities of a negro tragedian, unless it be because he says he fetches "his life and being from men of royal siege;" Mr. Tilton thinks the negro. superior to the white man, and reasons that he would be a fitter representative of a character which descended from a superior race. But the obstacle of mastering the distinct enuncia tion of the blank verse of Othello by a gen uine negro or half breed, will remain an insurmountable barrier to their ever achieving anything like lofty histrionic renown. Mr. Tilton's idea of the dramatic genius of the negro being so profound, we wonder that he did not associate it with the metaphysical Hamlet instead of the jealouS Moor. Shakspeare appears to have exhausted himself in the production of that incomprehensible creation,the proper conception of which has been in dispute from the day of its first production until the present time. The great John Philip Kemble, the Hamlet of his day, once re• marked that he had been studying and acting thatcharacter for thirty years, and yet he was not satisfied with his concep tion of the part. Now here is an oppor tuuity for one of Mr. Tilton's superior race; it requires each a one to give the auditor a Proper idea of the passage from Hamlet, containing the following lines: "What a piece of work is man 2 How noble in reason: bow infinite in faculticA in form - and , moving how express and annaole: in action A bow like an angel, in apprehension how like I a GeV" PERSONAL.

He may, ere this be en amored with monarchy, but should he ad vise Professor Morse to advocate it. in• stead of our present form of government, is that a reason why "honest men" should leave the great champion of popular gov ernment, the Democratic party ? he Gazette's penetration, we repeat, is truly remarkable. MAGNIFICENT LYING The New York Evening Post one i day last week had a chapter upon the phe. nomenon of lying, suggested by the stu pendous falsehoods circulated in relation to Gen. Hooker and his presumed per formances. The article concludes in this way: "But the Philadelphia editors and cor respondents surpass all others in what has been termed magnificent lying. Who but they told us of Keys's capture of Rich mond—who but they saw Hooker's re crossing. of the Rappahannock ? Of the former wonderful exploit they gave us no details, but of Vooker's they told us every. thing: how two columns, under Sedgwicic, crossed first without opposition; how Hooker himself followed with other col umns; how they searched the whole coun try round about for the rebel army and could not find it; and how they were ad vancing gallantly towards Gordonsville or Richmond, or some other stronghold. Now, were the editors imposed on, or did they invent all this? They certainly owe the public some explanation of the stories they caused so many to believe. At the same time, let us hint to the au thorities at Washington that if they would be somewhat more communicative, if they would regard the people of the United States as a people having a great and lively interest in the progress of military operations, and if they would satisfy that interest by clear and promptly-mnda com munications to the public, these, however brief, would render systematic lying not impossible, but ineffective. When the telegraph is open to everybody, false re- , ports become useless, because the truth can overtake it at once, But when the telegraph is in government hands, the rogues get twelve hours or more the star of the constables. From the New York F.veniug Pol A Manly Protest from High Re publican Authority. BURNSIDE AND VALLANDIGHAII T General Burnside's response to the Cir. cuif Court from which a writ of habeas corpus was asked in the case of C. 1,. Val landigham, arrested for treasonable words spoken, and tried by a military commis sion, is published on another page. It is BO patriotie in spirit, so decided in its ex pressions of loyalty, and so nobly bold in taking the resposibility. that we almost dislike to question its propriety. Yet, we think dangerous fallacies run through it which ought to be exposed. General Burnside will himself be among the first to rectify his positions as soon as it is made manifest to him that they are wrong. Vallandigham's offences, moreover, have been as yet confined to the use of foolish words. He calls Mr. Lincoln bad names; he denounces the Republican par ty; he abuses Burnside's new military or ders; and his example and hi instruc tion; are exceedingly pernicious. But alas, we cannot, in the spirit of Anachar sis Kloot's demand, hang all the dastards and scoundrels at discretion. Vallandig ham has not, that we hear, committed any overt act of treason; he has not resisted the laws, though he has perhaps counsell ed resistance; and until he does, his silly babbling, like Brook's and Wood's, must be allowed to pass for what it is worth. It is not likely to persuade more than a few ignorant or malignant men to do wrong. Besides, no governments and no authori ties are to be held as above criticism or even denunciation. We_know of no other way of correcting their faults—spurring on their sluggishness, or restraining their tyrannies—than byjopen and bold discus sion. How can a popular government, moat of all, know the popular will, and guide its course in the interest of the community, unless it be told from time to time what the popular convictions and wishes are? Despotism, like that of Louis Napoleon or the Czar of Russia, have no need of this inspiration, and control from the people, because they are not admiuis• tered in the interests of the people, and. look to those of a single man, or a family, which can very well manage its own affairs. But a republic lives alone in its fidelity to the sentiments of the whole nation. Abuses and licenses of course adhere to this unlimited freedom of public criticism; bat these are apparently inseperable from the use, and without the abuse, we should scarcely have the use. It is a question, too, who is to draw the line between the use and the abuse outside of the courts established for the detection and punish• ment of all offences? If Vallandigham's peace nonsense is treasonable, may not Greeley's be equally so? If he cannot arraign the conduct of the war, can Mr. Schalk, who has written a book on strategy, is which the severest arraignment of it yet printed? If he may not question the jus tice or the propriety of Burnside's orders, may the Evening Post or a thousand other journals venture to hint a doubt of the superhuman military abilities of General Halleck? We know it may be said that his motives are bad and treasonable, while those of the others are loyal; but tribu nals and commissions cannot inquire into motives. Deeds are tangible, but not thoughts. The Tribune observes : "We agree fully with Gen. Burnside that Val. ought not to make such speeches—that he ought to be ashamed of himself—but then he will make them and won't be ashamed— so what will you do about it? "Send.him to the Dry Tortugas" says the General "—probably as a hint to him to dry up.' Set him over into Dixie," the Preei• dent is said to suggest as an alternative. But this is the worst joke Mr. Lincoln has yet made. Hydrophobia - Cured. A case of hydraphobia, fully developed, has been cured by the Health Office of Brooklyn, N.

WASHINGTON, Majls.—lt is said that a serious disagreement exists between Gens. Haßeek and Hooker and it is new posi• tively asserted that - Hooker's new move meut was countermanded by Halleck. Prominent senators and representatives have united in a vigorous protest against General Halleck taking the field, and it is thought that the President may veto the project. There are no indications of an immedi- ate movement. Many of the corps com manders and, staff officers of the Army of thePotomao are preparing to leave, and . some are'now , in Washington. Tie Itelgn of Terror Necessarily of Short Duration, The reign of terror of the French revo• ration lasted from 1792, till 1794, and prepared the way for absolute monarchy. All its leaders ascended the scaffold/and, sea lasting consequence of their misdeeds, their ghosts continue to be the terror of the French people whenever an effort is making to gain a larger field for the ex ercise of the reign of freemen. The in famy of that reign and the detestation in which the memory of its champions is to this day held by all classes of society, have made even liberty an object of ap prehension ; and we have seen a Bona parte, the Bourbons, the Orleans, and at last Napoleon 111., triumph over the pop ular will, simply because any form of Government, even without freedom is preferred to the of a faction without law. Even Lafayette, "the citizen of two worlds," preferred a King to a Republic, with te unchecked Jacobin rule ; and the present Emperor Napoleon 111. is willing. ly accepted by the French people as the man who is ready and able to keep the Red Republicans out of power I Ofthree persons who support him, there are per haps two who dislike him personally; but they prefer him to a Republic, with a Ja cobin faction lurking behind it. And so it will ever be in France. The Reign of Terror, like Macbeth, has murdered sleep, the ghosts of the Jacobins have almost entirely destroyed the faith in popular government. And so it will be here if a lawless fac tion is permitted to make sport of the Constitution and laws o' the country. Let license be granted to popular passion, let factions run riot and attempt to es tablish power by brute force, and a reign of terror will soon follow ; but it will be of short duration, and cover its instigators with defeat and disgrace. Pwstons that are directed against one man to-day may be hurled against another to-morrow ;'the house that is burned to-night may lead to a conflagration to-morrow, till the general sense of insecurity will make the people submit to any Government, nay, to any man, who shall be able to keep the fac tious down, rather than continue the sys tem under which they can enjoy neither tranquility nor safety. Who, then, suffers more than the wealthy classes? tis the manufacturer, the merchant, the capitalist who has to pay the expenses of the New Government, for the simple reason that they have the means to do it, and that money is more easily obtained from them than from the honest laborer whom the revolution has thrown out of employment. It is the possessing classes who, in revo lutions, have always to "pay for the whistle " But our Republic is young, and our men of fortune have made money without acquiring experience. They certaintly do not sufficiently reflect on their own position. "Property," says Burke. is inert, and, consequently, eminently con• servative ;" but our men of property seem to reverse the rule, and under the influence of the Jacobin Leagues, 1 0 become emi• neutly destructive. We would warn theme to reflect a little before they lend them selves blindly to the intrigues of a fat'• tien which is even now playing -.its last card.--Age. Distinguished Visitors The Republican, of Washington City ast evening, makes the following an nouncements "Gen. Hooker arrived in town this morning and visited the President. He was riding upon the Avenue with Mrs. Lincoln this forenoon. He appears to be in good health and spirits. " Gen. Burnside is in town, in consul. tation with the President and Secretary of War, probably with reference to the dis position of Vallandigham." How Gen. Grant Started on his Present Campaign. The Chicago Tribune learns from a gentleman who participated in the recent campaign of General Grant, up to the time the enemy crossed the Big Black in the retreat towards Vicksburg, that in starting on the movement the General disencumbered himself of everythinp, set ting an example to his officers and men.— Re took neither a horse nor a servant, overcoat nor blanket, nor tent, nor camp chest, not even a clean shirt. His only baggage consisted of a toothbrush. He shared all the hardships of the private soldier, sleeping in the front and in the open air, and eating hard tack and salt pork. lie wore no sword, had on a low crowned citizen's hat and the only thing about him to mark him as a military man was his two stars on his undress military coat. On the battle field he wax omni present, riding everywhere, generally alone, into the very thickest of the fight, inspiring the troops by his imperturbable , coolness and bravery.

HOOKER P2E,PAIRING F CAMPAIGN, I t TINF . MoNTH'S MEN LEAV ING FOR HOME. Draft to Tako Place First of July THE REVELS DESPAIRING Passports Abolished Portuge GREAT EXCITEMENT IN ALBANI SKIRMISHING IN MISSISSIPPI Destructive Fire at Reading d:c., WASFIINUTON, May 1:),—It is rumored that the case of Vallandigham is not yet decided, that Mr. Seward favors his re lease, and that the President is undecided. The Union men in Ohio demand that if this man is to be punished at all he should be sent South to the rebels whose cause he has so long defended. General Hooker has gone back to l'el mouth to prepare for another campaign. The rebels are already upon their legs, and if we do not cross over and give them employment they will soon move up to• wards Washington. This is the opinion of some of our best military men. Regiments of nine months' and two years' men are constantly pouring through Washington to the North, their time hav• ing expired. There is a feeling of ner vousness upon the subject in some quar ters, but our military leaders aro satisfied that if we are to lose twenty or thirty thousand men from the army at all it is bettn to lose them now. The draft will take place about the first of July. The soldiers-now returning home will have had six weeks away from the army, and they will begin to be rest less. By the middle of July the War De partment will offer a bounty of $3OO to all who will re enlist, using the. fund which has accumulated ftom those drafted persons choosingto pay $3OO rather than go into the field. It is expected that nearly all these returning soldiers will ac• cept the high bounty and return to the service. Six weeks will undoubtedly be consumed in the enrolling of all persons subject to military duty. isnismroN, May, Pl.—The truth that both officers and men to a considerable number daily arrive from the Rappahan• nook and proceed to their homes, on leave of absence, i., regarded es an additional indication that the army will not immedi ately make a movement against the enemy. Major General Hooker's purposes and the designs of the government in con nection w . th the war, so far as the army of the Potomac is concerned, are, in the ab sence of facts, matters of conjecture.— Hence, there is no reliance to be placed on rumors concerning them. 'The opinion is entertained is some quar ters that it is unnecessary to contradict rumors, whatever may be their character —acting on the principle that time will afford the required correction. For this reason, and in the absence of official dates, it is sometimes difficult for the press to discharge its duty in counter acting the evil effects of false reports. There is no truth in the alleged threat. ening movement of Mosby's cavalry in Louden county, Va. They number but one hundred and fifty mom and no raid ou the Baltimore and Ohio, or any other railroad, is at all probable, or indeed pos. Bible. 1./Alen:twee of opinion between high officials as to the eondnet of Gen. Hooker and the affair of the Peterhof are said to prevail to each an extent as to interrupt the previous entente er , nliale. It is be lieved by many that some important civil and military changes are about to take place, which will be received with great satisfaction by the friends of the govern- esEnNul os, May IG.—The Richmond oquirer of the 15th contains the following editorial article: There is evi len tly to Le an active sum mer campaign. The plan of the enemy seems to be to keep s our attention con stantly excited at every point at once, so that no part of our whole wide frontier may be freed from the urgent immediate appre hension of an attack. Then they can strike where they think our line is weakest or our defences least perfect, and if repuls ed can retire and direct a blow at some other quarter. In the meantime they can bag much plunder and cause much sorrow and heart-break to our people by expedi tions through thinly peopled regions desti titute of troops, and also can force more and more of our people within their lines to take their hated oath for a quiet life and save their property from confiscation.— Thus they can both demoralize and rob us within our own border, preparing all the while serious assaults and delivering them fast when they are ready and when they choose. It is hard to say at what point they are most active just now. If one looks South-westward it would seem that the State of Mississippi is the region of the most extensive operations. Im mense armies are gathering around Vicks burg, and while prerarations are in pro gress for a new assault upon that place, the back.country is devastated and the people plundered by cavalry raids, but at the very same moment Charleston is kept on the qui vice by energetic preparations for another attack by sea and land,or both at once. The o:.ject may be only to pre vent Gen. Beauregard from sending away any of the trops which now defend Char leston. At the same instant too, Burn side threatens East Tennessee and Hooker largely reinforced is expected to cross the Rappahannock somewhere or other from Culpepper to Port Royal. To keep some of our forces employed in the defense of Richmond, reinforcements are sent to Fortress Monroe and lest any part of the country should have to assist, the enemy's , gunboats are harrassing North Carolina. In the Raleigh progress of the 13tL inst. we read of the gunboats continuing to prowl up and down the Chowan and Par quimens rivers. They steal the negroes silver ware, jewelry and everything they can get their hands on, and have broken np a number of fisheries. They stole some four thousand dollars worth of jew elry from a man named Cook, breaking up his furniture, ac., and committed other depredations. n one instance they entered a soldier's house and broke the crockery, furniture, &c. • Five or six thousand Yankees are re ported to be in Plymouth, and reveal gun boats in the Sound. There is no enemy at Edenton or Eliza beth city. They recently burnt a mill on the Chowan. the property' of Mr. Hay, situated a mile below Trenton. Some persons entdrtain he idea that the force at Plymouth meditate an expe dition up the Roanoke. - The great number of the enemys forces and the multitude of their shipping make it easy for them to carry on simulta: ttiatialy all theca Opefatiolis, sail tico do not care for delay for it is our people who are suffering, not theirs. The longer this style of warfare lasts the greater will be the mass of plunder carried North—the more of our mills, machine shops and rail. roads they have destroyed, the more of our material and resources they will Kane ru ined ancL.OmbteVrind\ the better chance they thiukthaYwHhave for an irresistable advance - at last. -They are in no hurry. Last year indeed there was urgent haste to get the rebellion crushed in thirty days or in ninety. Now we hear much less of the vehement urgency, and the whole Yankee nation seems to-have outaccounts for war as the'. settled business of life, rather than consent to peace and separa tion. They are perfectly willing to fight upon the present system for twenty years or forty. They are willing daring all that time to go on submitting to such defeats - as- -they - have sus tained at Fredericksburg and on the Rappahannock, 'because 'by these defeats they lose not a foot of ground. They leap nothing but men, and men are of less valve to them than to us. To kill one thousand southern soldiers they would be willing at any time, to sacrifice 5,000 Hessians to entitaiti a repulse, which they would re present, however, as a mere retreat for strategic reasons, and, rather honorable than otherwise, and they would regard the transaction' as a paying one. On the whole, one thousand gallant southern lives • lost to us are ill balanced by fives thousand of- their base hirelings. Jack. son alone is xi dearer loss to ns than Hook er and his whole hundred and fifty thou sand would be to them, and they speculate that it may be Lee's turn next, or Long street's, and that at any rate they are kil ling us slowly off, and in the mean time they are stealing much and ruining more, and their women and children are safe at home. Many of them dress better than ever before in the spoils of our homes, while confederate women and children are routed out of house and home and chased like wild beasts. In short, if we can en dure this war for the next half century, they can and will wish its joy of our victo ries and our glory. We urge nothing we have suggested : we only, state the facts; each is the policy of the enemy; such is his calculations and such is his intent and interest, WASHINGTON, May U3.—A royal decree of the Kieg of Portugal has been officially communicated to this government. Eve ry individual, whether nittive or foreign, may freelitravel or move about within the kingdnra and adjacent islands without a passport or any other simliar document. The existing police regulations have been modified, in order that all travelers from foreign countries, on entering the king dom, may not meet with unnecessary dffi culties nor pay undue fees, and the fees paid by vessels entering and quitting the national ports are modified and equalized in such a manner that national vessels shall not pay more than foreign vessels, and that in one port no heavier fees shall be demanded than in another, except in special cases. The fee of six hundred milts hitherto paid by foreigners who enter the bar of Lisbon is abolished, ALBANY, May 16.—The meeting to pro test against the arbitrary arrest and sen tence of Hon. C. L. Vullandigham, held at the Capital to-night, was largely at tended. fhere were strong speeches made by Hon. Amasa J. Parker, Hon. Francis Eeman, John Murphy, Esq. of Buf f alo, and others. Resolutions were adopted denouncing the arrest of Vallan• digham as unwarrantable assumption of military power. A letter was then read from Gov. Seymour, characterizing the arrest of Valandigham as an act that has brought dishonor upon our countiy, which is full of danger to our persons and oar homes, and which bears upon its front a conscious violation of law and justice. An attempt was made to disturb the meet ing bat failed, and the police succeeded in making several arrests of the guilty parties. There was some disturbance at the Val landigham indignation meeting to-night. During the day a feeling of opposition to the meeting among some of the returned soldiers was clearly manifest, and soon after the organization of the meeting evi dences of dissatisfaction were Shown among the soldiers present. The Seraglios were interrupted by their noisy demon •tratione, and finally they made a rush for the stage. Great excitement prevailed for a short time; the proceedings were brought to a stand still. The chairs on the stage were broken into pieces and thrown in the crowd, and for a few minutes it seemed as if the soldiers would gain possession of the stagy and drive the civilians off. The soldiers were in small force, however, and finally retired, when order was once more restored and the proceedings resumed, al though, not without occasional interrup tions. Eventually quiet was fully restored and the meeting carried on peaceably. FORTRESS MONROE, !flay 10.—The Rich• mond Inquirer of yesterday contains the following of the fighting in Mississippi: The enemy yesterday advanced one thousand strong upon Raymond, where Gen. Gregg , bad 4,100 infantry and a few cavalry. Skirmishing commenced at 9 o'clock in the forenoon. The enemy was continually reinforced till 1 o'clock in the afternoon, when we opened the battle heavily with musketry. Learning that the enemy was heavily reinforced and ready to engage, we retired through Ray mond, making a stand at the Mississippi Springs, where we have reinforcements. Col. McGaverik of the 10th Tennessee, was killed. The firing to -day is heavy and continuous towards Jackson. READINO, 16.—About four o'clock this afternoo M n a ay fire broke out in the foun• dry and scale works of Moore & Dehart, situated on Cherry alley, below 4th street, the flames extending to and consuming four small dwellings and several frame stables, The sparks from the latter tell on the roofs of dwellings on Washington street and set fire to and totally burnt out five more dweliirgs with a great part of their contents. It was feared at one time that our city would suffer to a great extent owing to the high wind which was prevail ing at the time. The loss amounted to 1 about $50,000. - - NASEETILLE, May 18 .—Seventy-nine Con federate prisoners, including one Colonel and Captain, were sent North to-day.
