Getting Their Ewes Open.

The Chicago Tribune, one of the great lead.
ers of the irrepressibles, the ally of the New
York Tribune, an especial Lincoln organ, has
been forced to make the following admission
on the slave question. 1t is fact that the
Abolishionists hate to realize, but they must
see it. and then admit that the fighting power
of the South is fully equal to that of the
North:
But what has become of the four millions
of slaves omitted in the calculations? Why
are they left out? They are neither dead nor
idle. They are doing more to sustain the re-
belliOn than an equal number of whites They
are feeding and clothing the Rebel army.
They till the soil; they do the hard drudgery
about the camps; they fetch and carry; they
erect tie batteries, and dig the entrench-
ments, and mount the guns; they drive the
mules and teams; load and unload the wagons
and railroad cars. They assist in all the ma
chine shops in manufacturing cannon and
other wariike material. Thousands of them
are mechanics, workers in wood and iron.
They handle the axe. the pick, and shovel,
the hoe, the sickle and the pillow. They work
for nothing, and board themselves. They
produce much and consume little. Females
and children labor well as the adult males.
There is no ten-hour rule 10 Dixie for the
bondman. From daylight to dark they must
toll-men, women; and children-without
Coupeuedtiou vi uOpe vi reward, Otnef tndl
stripes.
1De labor of these four millions of slaves
supports the Rebel Side of the war. 1t en-
ables the whole able bodied male population
to enter the Confederate army. The slaves
are left in charge of the old men and females
and mounted patrols. They dare not rise to
throw off their yoke, because the Rebel sol
diers, they are told, will come back and mas
sacre them on the first symptoms of insurbor-
dination.
They would doubtless make the attempt
and strike for their liberty, if the Govern
ment held out to them the slightest encour-
agement or prospect of support. But seeing
nothing in that quarter hat chilling frowns,
they bend over their daily tasks and patient
ly await the ripening of events.
Those four millions of slaves Offset at
least eight millions of Northern whites. That
many of our people are employed at home in
the fields and workshops. to support the sol
diers sent forth to fight the Rebels who are
maintained by the slaves. The actual resisting
power of the Rebels is, therefore, equal to
that OF white population of fifteen millions.
with the great advantage OF fighting on their
own soil

From PensacOIa.


PENSACOLA, Aug. Is, 1S61.-There are
whispers of fight here soon. But it is hard
to get the truth of it. One thing is certain;
litters are being made here by order of the
Ouartermaster, and knowing ones say that
troops are expected. Other mysterious
transactions, add to the foundation for these
whispers
A vessel of war. supposed to be an Englith-
man, made her appearance off the bar this
morning, but did not come to an anchorage.
She merely came in sight and bore off again.
The Court martial which has been sitting
at Barrancas for the past several days, has at
last finished its labors. Among the cases
before the Court was one for murder, at Fort
McRea, on the day when Gen. Bragg gave
liberty to the soldiers, in honor of the battle
of Manassas, and two for sleeping on their
posts. One of the latter, young man named
Robinson, belonging to the 10th Mississippi
Regiment, (and' / am sorry hear, an editor)
will be shot at Warrington, in view OF the
forces, on Friday, the Both inst. The other
soldier, from the fact of his extreme youth
and independence, has been sentenced TO
punishment tor sixty days and then drummed
out of camp.
This looks hard, bat it can't be avoided.
Whiskey is believed TO be the foundation 1t
is amusing to see some of the delinquents ct
Warrington wearing barrels q hole cut in
the top and the head run through aud other
Ornaments. But they are among the fortunes
OF war with some people.

Roseneranfz in Danger.

The Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore Elehange under date of the 10th inst,
says ''the rumor in reference to the danger
in which Rosencrantz is placed, in conse-
quence of the advance of Lee and Wise, Is
unquestionably true. special messenger
from Rosencrantz has asked for reinforce
ments, and four Western regiments, intended
for Washington, have been stopped on their
way, and ordered to join him at Clarksburg.
In addition to this, efforts are now making
to concentrate the whole of his command at
that point. There is some doubt expressed
as to whether these operations will be effected
in time to save him from surrender but
great confidence is reposed in the ability of
ROsencrantz-who is said to be an excellent
offcer-to extricate himself from the difficult
ties by which he is surrounded"

From the Columbia Herald
Eaaf, naaftt IS noaf,,y,,


Our best and bravest have gone forth to dc
battle-they have given up everything-casi
their all in the balance, and what are they
doing who stay at home? Many, we rejoice
to say, are doing all that in their power lies
to aid and comfort those brave and generous
souls. To these be all praise. Many again,
are listless and inactive-asleep to the real
nature of war-seemingly ignorant of the true
position in which the South stands. To these
our prayers for light and knowledge are
cheerfully given. Still again, there are
many others who are all alive to the war,
but alas ! for the honor of the South; alas
for Humanity. they only know that the war
creates great demand for all the necessities
of life--that these necessities the people are
obliged to have, let them cost what they will.
Acting upon this, they have been securing
the country buying up all the sugar, coffee,
and salt, and as soon as it was purchased
they began putting up the price, day by day,
as they supposed the people become more
needfnl. Upon these be all shame in life
and strict justice after death.
Now, word upon such conduct. These
men have legal right to do as they are do
ing. There is no law which forbids them buy
ing up all the salt that they may extort
high price from the necessities of the people.
The law allows it, but every principle of hon.
or, generosity, and patriotism forbid it.
Those engaged in it may be true patriots and
loyal to thesSouth, but to our apprehension
there may be difference in degree, but is
none in kind, between those who assail the
South by shooting down her soldiers, and
those who, like vampires, suck the life blood
from her people. Nashville seems to be the
headquarters of these people, from which
they sally out to ravage the neighboring
country.
We respectfully call the attention of our
confreres vi Nashville to this matter. If you
love justice, if you are friends to the South
if you have the welfare of Nashville at heart
look to this thing and have it righted. If q
stop is not Put to these extortionists very
soon, we hope to see "FoR RENT" written
upon the door of every house that engages in
the nefarious transaction.
