sas are to be allowed to take rank among the
states. We do not refer to any special OBJ
stacle in the WY of the admission Of either;
but, as such things have happened before,
we can imagine that they may happen again,
and may engender controversy and long de-
bate.
We anticipate upon the whole, more of a
business session than we have had for some
years past. though we will not affect to con-
ceal our impression that the tendency of the
presidential question will have the effect to
embarrass somewhat the action of congress,
as its influence will be liable to be more or
less felt on every leading question. Howev-
cr that may be, there can be no doubt that the
deliberations of the two houses will afford
full employment for reporters and Journal
lists. We are ready for the task which the
session will impose OIL us, and shall not, we
hope, be behind our contemporaries either in
the fidelity or promptitude with which we
shall discharge our professional duties.

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF WAR.-
Having recently read the Report Of the Sec
retary of War Of 1884, could not but notice
the inconsistency of his argument in relation
to the defence of Rbode-Island. He says
"For we doubt whether there be any point
within the waters of Rhode Island accessible
to the largest description of vessels, that
would not be within reach of shells that could
he thrown from points easily reached from
the sea, and which it would he hardly practi-
cable to secure from an active enemy"
Again in speaking of the defence Of the
Chesapeake and Long Island Sound,h says
at is however a well known fact that ships
dare not anchor within the reach Of shells,
and there are few roadsteads in either of these
waters where they might not be assalled by
this species of military projectle. The ~
inch mortars used in the sea service and for
coast batteries, carry their shells two miles.
within which distance from either shore these
bays might, by n skilful position OF mortar
batteries, be rendered untenable."
This seems a full and conclusive answer
to his own argument in his negative defence
of Rhode Island. Again
"Rhode-lsland might De an oDJecl OF atthcR
from, the excellence of its harbor, and the
ease with which, if once occupied, it can be
defended. 1t possesses, however, too small
relation to the general interests of the Un-
ion, to make it probable that powerful ar
mament would be directed against it, unless
it should be made naval station"
And pray cannot the United States defend
Rhode-Island with as much ease as could be
done by an enemy "if once occupied" by him?
Beside, doubt whether an enemy would
view with much Difference our "too small re-
laton to the general interests of the Union" +"
in preference to consulting his own convent
ence by establishing himself in one of the
best naval stations on the continent. But
who does not know that in taking Newport
would undoubtedly result in taking Provi-
dence? q.

! WILL THERE BE WAR WITH FRANCE?-This
question seems now, above all others, to fill
the mind of the intelligent public. We can
answer. There will be no war. The Senate
will not 60 to war; and it is because the DOM
inant faction believe this, that they are pre-
pairing the materials for an excitement on the
French question. Without information we
cannot speak; but from our knowledge Of their
crooked policy we venture to predict, that
while the Message itself will be much mil
der than either party expect, it will carefully
avoid every thing which would terminate the
difficulty, leaving The question and explana-
tion open. This being done, Congress will
be called upon or large appropriations for the
army and navy; and il possible an issue will
be made with the Senate on these appropria-
tions.
II they carry, they give fat contracts, and
purchase up the venal aud enterprising Tor
the Executive nominee. II they fail, then
We shall have q clamor about the national
honor; and all the notes which can be sung,
will call in the faithful to support the Execu-
tive.
We have long foreseen that the adminis-
traton would keep the French question open.
They will not consent to pu: Mr.. Van Buren,
before the country upon his own merits.-I
They rely on party influence, aud the Gen.
erals control over the party. The refusal Of
Judge White to vote for the three million ap-
preparation, has lluced him in position in
which ii is b, lleved they cannot successfully
wage war upon him in tie South. The re.
iusal OF Judge White to yield up his lretcn-
sions, aud the election to the Senate by the
Legislature of Tennessee, ia the face of the
executive mandate, has given the President
himself offence never to be forgiven, until
Tennessee herself shall, upon al issue hich
General Jackson presents, condemn Judge
White. THIS consideration has more ihilu-
ebcc over the French question than any thing
involved ~ the question itself. We would
have lett these facts To he developed IN the

CELksTIAL PHENOMENA.-The heavens
were in glow at intervals last evening, from
the early hour Of six o'clock, until eleven, and
how much longer we cannot say. We viewed
the phenomena from the deck of the Ohio
steamboat, between Kinderhook and Catskill.
The lights were first observed MS the passen-
gers were ascending from the cabin after tea,
They were streaming up from the southwest,
anu nj times shot almost across the zenil.-
The colors were various, mingled with pur-
pie and ver,nilon, and at times Of a deeper
red. AT one time beautiful arch of silvery
light spanned the southern heavens, SD thin
and transparent, that the stars twnkling
through the glory seemed to sparkle with un.
woDtcd radiance. At other times myriads Of
columns, or streams Of light, shot up from the
western horizon, and remained stationary for
u lew moments, until they faded away. The
next aud last change that We observed, was a
b., nix Of soft phosphoresc ent light, extending
along the horizon from the southwest, around
to the north and northeast. The appearances
IN this city were various, end exceedingly
brilliant and beautiful. al about u o'clock
the whole horizon presented most exiraor-
dina:y appcarance-something like the glare
Of an extensive coBhagraiion; the lights radi-
ated from The zenith 10 the horizon. having
the appearance OF the rays Of tho sun when il

aid them in their examination Of questions as
they arise. Judge White has committed the
objectionable offence. Gen. ysckson's mas
ter pa ssion is thirst for conquest. He feels
thai he has been defeated in Tennessee, and
power affords him no qualification but as the
means and end Of victory: Those about him
know his weak points, and they intend to use
him. We cannot believe that Mr.. Van Bu-

France, although there are many who rejoice

FREDERIcKsBURG, Va. Nov. 2lst, 1882.
Messrs. Editors:-Allow me, through the
medium of your paper, to inform you Of a
most horrid butchery which our town has just
witnessed. Last night there was q general
rebellion among the free and slave negroes of
this place, but by the help of Providence we
have been fortunate enough to oqueH it so tar.
About l2 o'clock or thereabout, Mr.. Jenkins,
saddler, was aroused from his midnight
slumber by the most horrid and heart pierre
ing screams from his daughters apartment,
adjoining his own. He and his wife mrnedi-
ately sprang from their bed and ran to ascer-
tain the cause of the screams. When he
went in he discovered his daughter vainly
defending herself from the ferocious thrusts
Of servant man, who was armed with large
carving knife. lie Immediately ran to his
daughters assistance, but was instantly fell
ed to the ground BY another negro, armed
with all axe. His wife saved herself by jump.
ing from the second story window, but with
the loss of both legs broken. The negroes,
in the meantime supposing their work of
death was done, left the premises, and went
in search of Mrs. jenkins, WHO was taken in.

his LETT arm broken, but was not seriously
hurt in any other place. lie immediately is

county to reinforce the town negroes, but a
number ofyoung men coming promptly with
arms even at that hour of the night, marched
out and cut off the country negroes, and Com

twelve, and took twenty-eight prisoners, all
