Hale AGAINST LINCOLN.

Hale, the notorious abolition Senator from
New Hampshire, has evidently been disappoint-
ed in his expectations Of favors from the Federal
administration. On the 10th he made q speech
in the Senate, in which the following s9athing
paragraph occurred;
You may gain your victories on the sea; you
may sweep the enemy from the broad ocean and
all its arms and rivers, until YOU Can hoist, as
the Dutch admiral did, d broom at your mast
head, TO indicate that you have swept the ocean,
and you may crush every rebel who is arrayed
against you, and utterly break their power; and
when yOn have lone all that, and when you have
established a military power, such 81 The earth
never saw, and G naval power such as England

erty shall be buried among the ashes of the con-
tlagTatiOu in which you have DESTROYED your
foes, then you have got a barren victory, and in
all your glory You have achieved everlasting
shame. ! want - strengthen the arms of this
government, and l do not want to call them to
account beyond what i feel it nv imperative
duty to do, but ! want that vigilance and that
power which s to be put forth to be stretched
across the Potomac south instead Of north. The
honorable Senator from Massachusetts saws he
believes that these arrests have done more 10
secure the Liberties Of the country than all the
army nave COLp.
Well, if we can stand here two months from
to-day-snd God knows whether we shall be in
the land of the living or not-and the remark of
the Senator from M2ssachusettssbe as true then
as it is now, you will find an army against you
compared to which she army o. tIe other side OF
Che Potomac is nothing. I don't believe the ad-
ministration OF this government understands the
Of the issue in which we are engaged.
! venture to predict, though l am not a prophet,
that this people, who are pouring out their blood
treasure with a hesrtiness ana willingness
that no other people on the face Of Gods earth |
did, if they shall find in the future that thew
have been terrifed with, and that imbecility and
indispositioa stood il the place OF courage and

From Tybee.

A stiff wind prevailed all day yesterday, and
the sea ran high, consequently the Federals
could do nothing i'll tie way OF landing troops
on Tybee Island. The Federal ship reported
ashore in the north breaker is still there, and ap-
pears to be settling down. The probability is
She will be a total loss.
Several of our scouts went out on the island
on Sunday night, and brought off two fine wild
hogs. They saw no Federals, and if there were
any on the island, they must have been in the
vicinity of the big light.
We learn that on Sunday night, about sunset,
a man named William Barr, a member of the
Irish volunteers, who was corporal of the guard,
approached a sentinel and told him that he in
tended to 90 out and procure some oysters. Ban
took a boat and left the shore. after he was be-
yond the range of the s%entinel's gun, he changed
his course and went towards the Federal feet.
Barr has not returned, the impression Is that
he has deserted to the enemy.
We regret the circumstances, not only ON ae-
count Of information which the deserter may
carry to the enemy, but because his treachery

The Yankee Stone Flee: off Charleston,
from the Charleston Courier, Dec. 24l
On Thursday last Federal vessels kept arriv-
ing off this harbor during the entire day, and on
Friday morning not less than tweGty-three OF all
classes were in sight. As well as could be no
hced with s spy glass from a distance OF three
or four miles, there were some four gan boats,
one large steamer, which looked ike a figats.
and the balance appeared 10 be mostly sailing
vessels. One Of their steamers was stationed to
the northeast of the bar. Eear the Rattlesuake
sEO2l, aEG the remainder of their feet was near
the Old ship bar. During Thursday night and
Friday morning, with the weather calm, the sea
smooth, and a moonlight night, they succeeded
in sinking some seven hunks, consisting of two
ships and five banks.
This is Lac iTst step in the Lincoln programme
to try and permanently blockade this port. The
hulks lay on their sides with q lst apart, some
of them having been already stripped of their
canvass, and others had their sails flying loose.
a small steamer of very lighs draught was seen
moving actively about, and she was supposed to
be the tug used to place the vessels liz position
previous to sinking. They had, it is thought,
about fifteen old vessels to sink, which, if placed
in single file, and allowing the large amount of
two hundred feet obstructing capacity 70 each
vessel, the whole viii blockade about three thou
sand feet.
Ih6 iatest reports from the bar last evening
say that the enemy had sunk fifteen vessels, and
from appearances it is inferred that all their
hulks which have been brought here up to tails
time have been made use of, and tAat those now
remaining outside are blockadeTs.

Southern Intelligence ya Northern Cham

From the Louisville Journal, aIstI
We had an interview yesterday with a gentle
man who had just arrived from Tennessee. He
set out from Murfreesboro ON horseback, and
made his way by way of TOmpkinsyille, Column
bia, and Lebanon, to this city. His OppOrtuni-
ties for observation while in Tennessee were
excellent, and he made the most Of his opportu-
mites.
He spent several days recently at Bowling
Green, Kentucky, and is thoroughly posted IS TO
the strength Of the army in that vicinity and the
immediate delenses about Rowling Green. He
assures US that, to the best Of his knowledge, Gen.
Johnston has tifIy-twO regiments under his com
mand that those regiments average about eight
hundred men; that Of the number about ten
thousand are untitled by disease for the perform
ance of military duty, leaving about thirty or
thiTty-twO thousand effective men in that diyi-
sion of the rebel army Of this number he says
only about fifteen thousand are supplied with
good improved arms.
He is of the opinion that the thirty thousand
troops called for recently by Gov. Harris, of Ten
n%essee, viii not be raised, even through the resort
to the system Of drafting that has been inAugu-
rated. In many of the counties the effort to draft
had been furiOusly resisted.
A Strong Union feeling exists in the upper
counties Of Tennessee. On Tuesday night, the
18th inst, the Union men of Macon county,
Tennessee, visited Lafayette, the county seat,
and took possession OF one hundred and fifty
stand of arms that had been collected by the
rebels to be forwarded to Nashville for the use of
the army. About the same number Of guns
were taken in the same manner by the Union
men Of Gainesboro' jackson county, Tennessee,
at the same time. Fully tS O-thirds Of the citi-
zens of Macon county have joined the army Of
the Union in Kentucky.
Our informant, who is a gentleman OF ;ntelli-
gence, represents the people OF the Confederacy,
and of tennessee in particular, to be in a state
Of terrible suffering, owing to the cessation of
business, the absence Of money and the necesa-
ries of life, and constant fear of Invasion from
Kentucky.
He confirms the report that the black flag had
been carried through the streets Of Nashville,
snd that some of the regiments had unturied it
at Bowling Green.

Miss Sliden is reported as being made quite a

The Philadelphia Inquirer ofthe 2lst publishes
q special dispatch from Baltimore stating that
news had been received from Richmond to the
effect that Fort Pickens had opened fire on Fort
McRae three times since the 22d ult, but with
what effect is not known. On the 30th ult., an
iucessant shower of shells was thrown into the

without foundation.
A private letter received at New York, dated the

safely off Savannah, for which port it was oTigi-
