Mr. Boileau lias been released from " du- ! ranee vile" by making a sneaking, whining promise to Maj. Gen. Schenk, his captor, that ' he will never again be caught publishing "ar ticles dangerous to the government," and by so doing has prevented the governrn nt from riphfing a great wrong committed against the laws of the country j and secured for himself the contempt of all men who value personal liberty, and the rights of private property, as secured to thetn by established Laws, and written Constitutions. j Like a whipped spaniel, he fans at the feet of Gen.

The following items of news we take froin the World. The Richmond Examiner of Saturday pub lishes a telegram from Charleston saying that the federal gunboat J. P. Smith, carry ing eleven guns and 230 men, surrendered to the rebels on Friday after a sharp engage tnent on S'ono river. The federal loss is, of course, said to have been heavy. The steamship Columbia, from New Oi le ans Jan. 24th, arrived here vestei day. Are port was current in the Crescent City that the Harriet Lane had eluded the vigtlence of our blockading fleet off Galveston, and es capcdtosea. There was alio a story that the Alabama was cruising off the passes in the hope of capturing some vessel laden with Dispatches from Nashville state that a thousand rebel cavalry, with a battery of four pieces of artillery, are King in wait to capture a federal transport fleet moving up the Cumberland river. A report has been received from rebel sources ihat an engagement had recently tak en place near Savannah, in which the rebel-, had been worsted. Though no particulars of the affair are given, it is supposed, from the tenor of the latest advices from Port Roy al, that the iron clad Montauk, with other gunboats, had gone up the Ogeechee river, to capture or destroy the rebel steamer Nash ville, and probably met with success. It is also probable that the Montauk bad a fight with the rebel steamer Atlanta, formerly called the Fiug.il. Intelligence is received from Fortress Mm roe of an engagement on Friday, near the Blackwater, between the rebels under Gen Piyorand a portion of Gen. Peck's c.*n j niatid. Gen. Pryor's forces advanced across the river and made a demonstration with ar tillery on Gen. Peck's advanced brigade*, but were repulsed, and re-crosing the rivi-r, retreated in the direction of Franklin. The fighting appears to have lee.i quite tri--k. re sulting in a loss to us of about ope hundred in killed and wounded. The rebel loss is unknown, but a number of prisoners were taken.

It was a favorite expression during the late election contest that " there is but one party now." It was a truth then, it is true now There never was hut one party in this country The Democratic party—The party of the Un ion, the party of the people. There have been patches of parties, composed of facticnists i abolitionists, and disuuionists, and occasion - ■ ally an amnlgation of the odds and ends have got into power, but always—not a single ex ception ( pposed to the true republican intere-ts of the country. We are now realizing the re sults of an experimental change from Democ- • racy to Abolitionism, a power gained not by- J the voice of the majority of the people, but by an accidental minority ; and the lesson fully teaches 'hat the on'y party iliat can I inanige the affairs of the country is the | Democratic party—"the only party of the country." The Protest of the States. There are twenty Mine so called loyal States, and eleven States in rebellion A majority of the twenty-three loyal States are hostile to the policy of the Administration as developed in the two proc'amat ons of President Lincoln. Wisconsin has ?iven a ; popular majority against that policy. So has Illinois, So has Ohio. lowa is nearly evenly balanced on the question. Indianna has just elected two Senators to go to Wash j ington and protest against it. The people ! of Missouri are irrevocably commited against it. The Governor of Kentucky most ear neatly condemns it. Pennsylvania has just • elected a Senator uncompromisingly opposed jto it, and she gave a majority of her votes •gainst it a' the recent State election. New Jersey has sent a delegation to Congress to vote against it. Maryland and Delaware are daily pleading against it on the floors of Congress. New Y>rk denounced it in thun der tones • ti.e polls, and her whole State administrate n is solemnly c •lumiiled against i it. Outside of New England, of all the Statee !of the Union, two only—Michigan and Min nesota—stand unequivocally committed to ! the unconstitutional proclamations of the Pn 'Si dent. Twenty months ago, every Northern State and nearly every border Stare supported the 1 officers of the Federal Government. What has wrought tin* revolution? II .w came | the four principal States of the Southern ; Confederacy out <>f tdat Union which not yet | two years ago a large majority of their ja-o p!e voted to sustain ? How comes i' that the na ional adrutni-jrati n is left to look for ! snjqiort solely to New England and two fro zen States of the Northwest? And how j long cm a war be earned on for the abolition lof slavery against the will of nine tenths of i all the States of the Union ? If Lincoln, his Cabinet, Congress, ami the | Republican party have no re-peet f.r con* j stit utnuial oaths, they ought at least to re i spect ti.e nearly unanimous protest of the States of the Union. They have no right to misrepresent the real sovereignty of ihe na tion. It the North is divided, it is because the administration refused to OIK'V the p>pu lar voice.
