/Site jjatlgfoist. FITTIBDRQBI SATURDAY DECEMBER 17,1864. Arming the Slaves. For long years before the rebellion broke out, the Abolitionists argued and insisted, that slavery at the South was maintained only •by the most ciuel and oppressive of local enactments; and. when hostilities began they again insist ed that a proclamation of emancipation issued by. the President, would cause the slaves to rise and crush the rebel lion, simply by exterminating their ty rants—meaning their former masters Experience, however, has dissipated all their illusions; but still, the fanatics amongst us will not learn from these sad and terrible teachings. The great difficulty indeed with tlii leading Abolitionists, both in this coun try and in England; is that they will cling to their theories, no matter how often they are exploded; and, accord imrly we find them insisting upon their old ideas, regarding the connection ex isting between magt'er and slave, at the South. Nay mqrepsip opposition to Southern argument«¥? tvbich we read almost dally, in arming tin slaves to fight for ‘'Southern mdepeud ence,”..wo Had the Aholilion press copy ing opinions from English journals, going to prove that the slave will not light in such a c mse. In opposition to naked, stubborn, and, we add, very alarming facts, the Abolition press en deavor to console themselves by quot ing the exploded theories of antiquated Abolitionists. &moag this class Kiss Hirriet Martineau has for a long time occupied a prominent position. That lady iu a recent letter from Loudon to Senator Wilson of Massachusetts,.allud ing to the Southern suggestion of arming the slaves, remarks: "At far as I can see, the greatest blow yet Jws- Uinedby the thorough-going Confederate sympa thizers in this country 4> the serious proposal among the Confederate authorities to make soldien of the slaves. Our aeoesh partisans evidently don't know what to make of ft. We, of the Northern aide,are trying to teach them; but, probably, the negroes themselves will be the first to make all clear to their heaven born guardians and.guardians’ friends. Ido nope that soldiering will be attempted, if not, the mere proposal is a great gain." This paragraph is going the rounds of the Abolition preS9 italicised as wr find it, as if it contained some hidden, virtue requiring the emphasis of italics to fasten it upon the mm Js of the reader, it strikes us that the better way for our opponents to ascertain the condition of things at the South is for them to open their eyes and ears to see and hear, and pay no attention to the theories and • dreamings of Miss Martineau, or any one else. We all know that the South expects great things from the arming ct slaves; there is but little' opposition to the proposition, the question in dispute being as to the propsr time to arm them. I Miss Martineau might write Beveral vol umes of speculations upon this snbjeet, but one fact would demolish them all.

A Hew Trouble, What the people of country have ill along feared, since the Southern re bellion began—trouble ' with foreign ’ Governments—is not at all improbable. [ Any moment may bring: intelligence of serious trouble with Great Britain, be cause of the late marauding expedition from Canada and the acquittal of those accused of the depredations by a Cana dian Court. The World alluding to these circumstances and others infers that Mr. Minister Webb's recent display of hostility to England, in his letter to the Brazilian authorities; Mr. Senator Sumner’s letter in the Boston Advertizer to prove that we should have British precedents for wrong doing; Mr. Secre tary Seward’s contemptuous treatment of the £uglishman who bore the huge peace petition of Lord Houghton and others; the same functionary's letter to Lord Whorncliffe, with the Demagogi cal allusion to ‘ ! British gold;” the sud den assumption by Messrs. Lincoln and Seward’s special organ here, the New York Tune* of an offensive attitude and open threats toward England, the departure of Lord Lyons; and now this order of General Dix, are all of them straws, but stTaws lying in one line. A wind is blowing, and the very weather cocks show it. Whence it comes nr whither it goes, we do not pretend to conjecture; yet it may soon be timely for Mr. Lincoln’s supporters to consid er what amount of probable or possible success in a foreign war would com pensate the loyal and devoted North for failure in this war for the precious Union, and the recognized independ ence of the Southern Confederacy. The PensionOfiff.ee. The following are the m iat.importan points in the report of the Cmnmissione of Pensions: There are only five revolutionary pen sioners yet surviving. Of the widows of revolutionary soldiers there are 1,42 a living. The whole number of pension ers on the roll of invalids, chiefly or the present war, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1805, is 22,768. The annual amount of pensions paid is $1,624,388. The widowed mothers and orphan,, other than those named, are pensioned at the annual coat of $8,676,579. The total number of arnfy peusioneraia 49,630. The total annual amount paid them, $4,- 416.185, the number of those admitted during the present war, is 16,787. The widows, orphans and mothers of the same number 22,198. The whole num ber of invalids is 712 The yearly amount paid them ia $123,018. The total num her of Navy pensions is $179,191. The number of Navy widows admitted during the year, 211. The whole num her of pensioners, June, 30th, 1862, was 8,147; in 1863, it was 14,780; 1864, it was 51,135. The land warrants issued during the year ending September 30tb, is 1,792 granting 283, 760 acres of land. The es timated amount required to pay the pen sions for the current fiscal year, is seven and a half millions, and for the next year, eleven millions. New pension agents have been estab tished during the year at Columbus, Ohio; Madison, Wisconsin; Cannandaigue, N.’ Y.; Dubuque and Fairfield, Iowa; Cem tralia, 111., and Dover, Deleware. ’ The number of pension examining surgeons is 791. The navy pension fund, being a cer tain portion of the money accruing from the sale of ptizes captured at sea, thus appropriated under the .recent act of con ■ gress, amounts to $05,585; all of which is invested in 6 per cent, gold bearing bonds. The Commissioner recommends a similar army fund. He also recommends that the payment of pensions be resumed at an early day at Hew Orleans, Nashville, Memphis, and the several other Southern cities also an increase‘of the salaries of clerks! I Unseemly Custom in British Univeb ! sities. —Lord John Russel has been in | stalled Lord Rector of Aberdeen Uni | versity, and when he appeared before the students to make his inaugural ad- I dress, he was treated with most extraor ! dinary disrespect. to im ■ memorial custom, the under-graejuates J on these occasions act like perfect hea thens, and take all sorts of liberties with I the great men on the platform. The ! usual custom is for each to fill his pock | et with peas, or small nuts, and these | are hurled at the speaker and his asso. | r.iates, amid a din that is indescribable, j On the present occasion, Earl Russell’s I voice was drowned amid the shouts ami cat-calls of these young gentlemen, aDd even the prayer by the Principal of the college, which preceded the inaugura lion address, was, in the language of one of the reporters, “ruffed as if it was a comic song,” This stupid and uu meaning custom is sustained and laugh ed at, and even commended, by the first people in the land, and is practiced at Oxford and Cambridge as well as at the Scottish University. A Laughable scene occurred at the front, at Nashville, two or three days ago. A gentlemen, whose residence was about 250 yards beyond the Feder al picket lines, wanted to go and try to save some of his property, but had no authority to pass the pickets. Being very anxious to save at least a few-arti cles, he offered the men on guard $lO tor every load they would bring, into him. Two of them accepted the offer and reached the house in salcty. Pres ently they were seen to emerge from the door, one of them bearing a centre table and the other a rocking chair, each hav ing his burden so disposed as to protect them from fire in the rear. Soon the Confederate pickets opened on them and one ball struck the table m the cen ter, passing entirely through, and lodg fng in the soldier’s coat, Both reached the lines in safety, as 4 received each his greenback X, bntneither.felt inclin ed to try it again—the -sbbpting of the rebels was to accurate. THE POST—PITTSBURGH, SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER i 7, 1864 Prom the M. Louie Dirpa^ch^Uth. TerribWritMnibdfit Accident. The steamboat Mavis, accompanied by six other boats, havingon board Colon el Benteen’s brigade Of troops, destined for Nashville, left the levee Saturday evening last at six o’clock, on her way :dowS the river. The Maria was the hendqnarters boat of Colonel Benteen. having on board htmself and his staff, Captain Young Assistant Adjutant Gen eral ; Lieut. Swain, Assistant Quarter master; Lieut. Thiel and Capt. De Grasse, Aides de camp ; Lieut, Colonel Jones, of the 3d lowa cavalry; and about forty-five soldiers. She had on board also 150 head of horses and 65 mules nearly all of them the private property of the officers, and forage for the ani mals. At eight o’clock two bourn after leav ing the levee, the fleet was overtaken by the snowstorm of Saturday night, and was compelled to lay up near the Union Iron Works just below Carondelet. Y’es terday morning, about 7 o’clock, while the boat was getting up steam to start, a report followed by a violent concussion, was heard, and immediately the front portion ofthe upper works of the steam er tumbled into the shattered boilers and furnaces below, and after portions of the deck and cabin were filled with escaped steam. An explosion had ta ken place, and the boat was a helpless wreck. The fall of the fore part of the deck and cabin carried down with it all who were standing there at the time, and many of them were burned to death in the furnace or scalded by the hot 9team. Immediately after the explosion, the bales of hay aboard took fire, which was communicated to the boat, and iu a few minutes she was consumed to the water's edge. All the horses and mules on board, cxce'.t six that were got ashore, perished in the flames. It is es timaled that about twenty-five persons were burned or scalded to death, and a considerable number injured. The steamer Lillie Martin, which was one ol the fleet, rendered all the assistance ahe could in rescuing the officers, soldiers and crew on the unfortunate boat There are two theories of the acci dent. One is that it was caused by the ireeziDg of condensed steam in the steampipe the night before, thereby choking up the pipe and causing the ex - plosion, while the other insists that a torpedo or some kind of infernal ma shine was tired off'in, or under the lur naee, and thus caused the destruction and crash. Everything on the boat was lost, there being no time to save anything. The officers lost all their horses, baggage, money, and watches estimated at $2O - oflO. ' ' Arrival of Admiral Farragut in New York. Rear Admiral Farragut arrived in New York on Tuesday aftemoou, in his flag ship, the Hartford. She sailed from Key West on the sth, and on the passage mei with much heavy weather. The Admi r.-tl was met in the bay by the revenue ciit'er Broux, carrying a delegation of welcome. When the vessels met they e\changed the usual naval salutes, and the committee went on board the Hart ford, where an enterchange of civilities was made, and an address made by the cidfcrior of the port, Mr. Draper. On arm ing at the Batteiy the Commodore was then taken to the Eastern House. Here u crowd quickly collected After the Admiral had shalftn hands with many, Collector Draper delivered an other speech, to which ihe Admiral thus replied- My friends, I can only reply to you as I did before by saying that I receive these compliments with great thankful ness and deep emotions. I am entirely unaccustomed to make such an act dress as 1 would desire to do upon this occasion; but if Tdo not express what 1 think of the honor you do me, trust me I feel it most deeply. I don’t think! however, that I particularly deserve anything from your hands. lean mere ly say that 1 have done my duty to the best of my abilities. I have been de. voted to the service of my country since I was eight years of age, and my father was devoted to it before me. I-have not specially deserved these demonstra tions of your regard. 1 owe everything, perhaps, to chance, and to the praise worthy exertions of my brother officers serving with me. That 1 have been fortunate is most true, and I am thank ful, deeply thankful, for it fer my coun try’s 9ake. I return my thanks to the committee for their resolutions, espe cially for the one in regard to the crea tion of an additional rank. [Great ap plause. J In personal appenrance, Admiral Far ragut would suggest to the minds of the many the “Sir Gervais Oaks” of Coon er’s novel of the “Two Admirals.” Hale, hearty, and of rather spare but powerful mould, the hero of New Or leans aud Mobile Bay is apparently be tween fifty and sixty years of age. He looks 89 i-he dearly loved a joke, steps with the springiness of a boy, and his manner is so perfectly frank and unas' 9uming that it is no wonder he is be loved by his officers and men. New Alloys of Silver. M. Pelligot, the chemist of the French Mint, has been making ex periments to ascertain how the intro, duction at zinc, or the complete substi tution of zinc tor the copper in the new French coinage—which was to consist of 335 parts silver, and 165 parts copper —would affect the alloy; and he has discovered that alloys of the legal stan dard, in which part or the whole Of the copper was replaced by zinc, are re markably malleable, and when rolled are perfectly homogenious. They are of a beautiful white color, but the bina ry alloy of silver and zinc is somewhat yellowish. The fusibility of the zinc alloys is greater than the copper; they are very sonorous and elastic, and if made brittle by hammering, the mal ea bility is restored by heating. The stndv of the atomic alloys showed that tbe equal equivalents of silver and zinc, or two equivalents of silver to one of zinc and also of two equivalents of silver amt three equivalents of zinc, are too \>rittle to be rolled. Besides the recommen dation of being cheaper, the zinc alloy blackens less readily with sulphurated hydrogen than the copper compound. An alloy ol 800 of stiver and 200 of zinc will keep its whiteness in a solu- tion of polysuphide, which will rapidly blacken the legal alloy of copper and silver.— Mininy and Smelting Magazine The Gunboat Otsego Sunk Information lias reachpil ihe Navy Department that the United States gun boat Otsego, Commander Arnold, was sunk a few day since by * Tebel torpedo in Roanoke river, six miles above Plymouth (N. C.) The torpedo was attached to a log and floated in the river, as the Otsego was moving up the river on a reconnoissance she struck the torpedo, which exploded, smashing a hole through the bottom of the gunboat, causing her to sink. There is only six feet of water in the Roanoke river where she went down. She will be raised and repaired. No person wss injured on board.
