How the Rebels Estimate their Northern


lFrom the Memphis Avalanche, Sept 81
The peace party of the north is turning out
to be an arGant humbug 1t is nightly op-
posed to war, and intensely DESTROYS Of peace
and yet unites with Lincoln in his unconstitu
tional and internal scheme of compelling the
south by brute force to yield up the right of
selfgovernment and submit to the rule OF a
vile aholitionist despOtism, headed by such
creature as Abe Linc0n and the banditti that
surround. They may hold their conventions
whine about peace, and pass their canting
resolutions until dooomSday, but will never
effect a peace on their terms. They may lick
the feet of the tyrant if it suits them but the
south o0W continue to fight him, and against the
government of lCiich he is the dictator, and against
the people Uhom he governs, until she gets rid Of
them t0reUer

There are some democrats at the north who
have not bowed the knee to the image OF Baal,
who have not been faithless to their principles,
but they are few and far between. The mass
of them made haste to lend themselves to the
support OF Lincoln's iniquitous war, and now
only oppose it because they see il is hopeless,
and that they gained only insults and ruin by
their unprincipled subserviency. II hey tooud

cessation Of this unrigteous car, and unconditional
acknowledgment Of the right Of the southern people
to gooern demseIves. That is the only solution of
the difficulty.

curious facts from that research. One Of my
bullets had entered the same hole as that of
one of st. Ives, and had merely torn it larger.
We had also a similar tie in the lower pole OF
the target, out of which the unanimous pair

the wounds with our long steel ramrods,

FROM THE REBELLION.

From q gentleman just returned from Rich
mond, We learn the following interesting facts :
The rebels have great confidence that they would
defeat the Union troops in fair field and that
it was impossible for them to be conquered
They declared rather than come again into the
Union, the South would become a province Of
England.
Some members of Congress were urging JEFF
Davis to consent to no moro exchange of priso-
ners unless we should consider fugitivs slaves
prisoners of war and exchange them.
a list of prisoners to be returned in ex-
change for ESQ lately sent by us was preparing
on which three months men would have the
preference.

NEW YORK, Dec. 80.
The Worlds Washington dispatch says the
manner In which Mason and Slidell are to be
gwen up has been left to Lord Lyons who will
doubtless have it done in a manner least offen-
s'vo to the government. They will probably be
put on board the steamer America which sails
from New York, next Wednesday and which will

1t will rejoice the friends of Col. Corcoran
and other gallant officers held us hostages by
the rebels TO know that on suggestion Of Mr.
Faulkner their prison will probably be rendered
more comfortable
Letters received by Mr.. Ely from prisoners
sent to Tuscaloosa Ala, indicate that they are
quite comfortable. None of the prisoners at
Richmond, Charleston, or Tuscaloosa suffered
much from heat during the summer.

FROM FORTRESS MONROE.


As the steamboat Express, which runs be-
tween Old Point and Newport News was leav,
ing the latter pace yesterday morning rebel
tug boat was seen off Sewall's Point. She wore
u Commodorc's blue pennant, which was mis-
taken for flag of truce, but on the Express
arriving within range she fired a shot across her
bows followed by several shells. The greatest
CONSERVATION prevailed for a short time on
board the Express which is unarmed, and the
schooner Sherwood employed to bring water
from Newport News, which was at the time in
tow was cut adrift.
The Sherwood was Immediately deserted by
her crew Of four men, who ESCAPED by a small
boat to Newport News. The schooner drifted
down with the tide and was taken possession of
by the rebel tug and towed to Craney Island
Her captain stuck to her and was made a
prisoner. The tug made its appearance a Sec
ond time, but the Express had crowded all
steam on and reported the circumstances to the
flagship. After a long delay half a dozen gun
boats got started, and steaming towards the
scene threw a few shells into Sewalls Point and
Pig Point batteries, but without effect, as far
as it is known. But for the inexcuable delay
in the gunboats getting to the spot, the tug
might have been intercepted and the schooner
saved.
She had valuable force pump on board. The
loss is about $4,000. The schooner belonged to
Assistant Quartermaster Noyes. The steam
frigate Brooklyn arrived from Philadelphia this
afternoon. A flag of truce was sent down this
p. NJ. but we hear no news. A note from Gen.
Huger to Gen. Wool announces that he is ready
to start $50 prisoners down James River from
Richmond whenever they will be received. Gen.
Wool will send a flag of truce to meet them

be released has yet been received
