The emancipationists do not pretend that
the general Government has the power un-
der the Constitution TO abolish slavery in
the states, but contend that ii may be done
as a war measure. Very well, suppose
that the slaves are declared free by the Gen
eral Government, and in the process oftime
the Union and the constitution are bo,h re-
stored, how are the slaves to be kept free
in time OF peace! What power could pre-
vent each southern state from re-eslablish,
ing slavery? Not the General Government,
for il is admitted that il las 10 constitutions
al power 10 interfere with slavery in the
States in times of peace. When a man
advocates the policy of emancipation as a
military necessity, you may be sure that he
does not mean that the slaves shall not
be freed and afterwards etslaved bnl he
means 10 advocate total and fOrciUle
change in our Constitutions, which shall
destroy all the rights of the states, aud
make the Federal Government supreme
The emancipationists are as bad as The
secessionisls, because they are fevolutlon-
ISIS.

The message Of Gov. Houston to the
Legislature of Texas. now assembled in
extra session. comes to us in the Calves
ton Hsws Of Jan. 26. The Governor re-
iterates the position which he has so often
tsken-that the insults Of which the South
complains have been put upon her By the
people of the Northern States. and not by
the Federal Government. and the question
must be decided whether il is better to
claim Constitutional rights or to abandon
the Onion. He appeals to the Legislature
not TO forget the long years which have
been necessary to bring the Government
to its present position. urges its members
to take no step hastily. but to show their
confidence in the judgment of the people.

New YoRK. Feb. 6.-The steamer Ma
rion, from Charleston arrived to-day
Among the passengers are wives of SOL
diers at Fort Sumter and seventeen chill
dreu. who suffered very severely from sea
sickness during the trip. They represent
the garrison at Fort Sumter as in excellent
health. not single soldier being on the
sick list. The strongest Union feeling
pervsded the company. and they looked
forward to an attack with confidence In
their strength and ability to repel IN a.
sanlt. There are seventy five soldiers and
thirty laborers. all of whom are now busy
in mounting heavy Columbiads on the
ramparts and in the fortress yard. The
majority of the soldiers are offoreign birth.
about half of them being Irish. and . large
number Germans.
The garrison is now supplied daily with
fresh meats and provisions OF all kinds.
from Charleston. although only enough is
brought in for each days use. The supply
of salted meats and camp rations 10 am
pie for long seige. No reinforcements
had been received when the Marion left.
and from Capt. Adkins's statement, it
would appear that great difficulty would
be met in entering the harbor at Charles
ton with reinforcements or supplies. The
Charleston volunteers are drilling daily.
and they with the aid of laborers. are plac.
ing Moultrie aud the other forts in the
harbor in the best state of defence. There
are about 5000 soldiers now in entrench-
ments, and their number is constantly aug
mented by arrivals from the interior of the
State. 1t is represented that whatevs,
work is done in the way of rendering Fort
Moultrie capable of repelling attack. that
she cannot be made to command Sumte.
in any event, or be able to damage that
fort by her cannonade.
The wives and children will leave the
Marion ct 4 o'clock this afternoon, on their
way to Fort Hamilton. where they will
remain for the remainder of the winter
They are in good spirits. and seem to think
that their husbands are perfectly safe in
their present situation.

The prominent sections Of the bill we
briefly state as follows. and ask the earn.
est attention Of members of the Legislature
to them:
Section four Of the act of 1855. by this
bill. is amended, so as to low the Banks
organized under this act to issue one -aiztA
of their circulation in bills less than s5.
instead of one-twentieth.
Section sixth is amended. SO as to allow
Banks having Indiana stocks to issue e1OO
of notes for every el0O Of Indiana stocks
those having other kinds to issue, only
elO0 for $110 of stocks. The report of
the committee on this section is to amend
by inserting 9105. so that for every e1O5
of Indiana stocks, they shall have 800 in
notes: and Banks having other than Indi-
ana bonds. shall have. until January.
1863. to exchange such bonds for Indiana
bonds-snd the Auditor shall. upon the
application of any Bank. exchange bonds
other than Indiana for Indiana bonds.
Section seven is amended SO as to allow
Banks hereafter organized to use only In
diana stocks.
The Committee recommended the fol-
lowing amendment:
Amend section three of the act so as to
provide for the keeping Of the plates. dies.

Section forty -nine of the act is amended
so as to provide for the burning Of the

Inhabitants are nearly destitute Of food.

Mr.. Jerome has hurried to Atchison
with all possible dispatch. fearing that
the people on the Little Blue will suffer
from hunger before be can get back with
supplies.
The condition Of the roads in that region
is now so bad that only about ten miles q

A Scene.


There was little ''scene" in the House
on Saturday, created by the personal ex-
planation" Of Mr.. Packard Of Starke.
whose infiamable nature took fire at the
allusion to his sympathy with Southern
men. in the Journal of that morning. and
famed out in fierce denunciation Of the
member who gave us the statement about
him as s''liar." !" and divers other unpleas-
ant offensive things. Mr.. Feagler of De
Kalb rose and said that "Ae was the man
who had given the information to the
Journal. and that Il sgas true. and he hurl-
ed back the lie to the g~ntlemGs from
Starke." There the matter stopped for
the time. and for all time. we presume. ss
Mr.. Packard did say what was charged.
and it can be proved. He probably does
not want any further exposure. Mr.. Feag-
ler is quiet. unobtrusive working mem.
b.r. but he is pluck all over. AMI the way
he came back It the South Carolina gen.
tleman from Starke was altogether more
exciting than edifying to that individual
Indiana Journal.
