SLAVE sNsUEHECTs0ys.

The narrative OF Denmark Vesey's Insurrec-
ton ia South Carolina, nearly forty years ago,
which we publish this morning, has at this time
n peculiar interest. Not paper comes to us
from the South in which we do not find anxious
endeayors 70 incucate tao conviction that the
slaves are Trustworthy, satisfied with their lot,
ready to take arms in defense of the system
beneath which they laDgUisb in bondage. Their
masters declare that the enthusiasm Of their
human property has TO be restrained, and that
only the necessities of home labor prevent them
from sending TO the war every able-bodied slave
they posscss. Meanwhile, they organize strong
guards, keep ever sleepless eye on the move
ments 0. the negroes and punish with more than
ordinary cruelty the smaest Ofonses against the
harsh rules of the plantation.
The strange history of tue resurrection referred
TO ia full Of suggestions which show to tue peo-
pie Of the South quite 81 clearly as to us at the
North how hollow and false is oil the boosted
confidence tho former express, and what IN ap-
palling danger lies always In wait at the threshold
of the Shareholder. If there were ever negroes
who could be trusted by their masters, those en-
gagged with Vesey in his conspiracy were they.
The event showed that natural cunning, sharp
ened by an unconquerable and empowering
longing for freedom, was there, as il is now,
more than match for the vigilance of the over
seer, and that seeming affection was with them
but cloak for concealDg po.s OF direst ven
geance.
This system of Slayery--ever accursed-bas not
improved in these forty years. The hand Vi the
taskma ter has not grown lighter, Tor are the
bonds worn with greater ease. The nature Of
the slave changes not, nor does tho instructive
Gol.mplanted craving for freedom diminish in
force, az the years of toll run on. The dark
storm-cloud hangs to-day over the South more
awful in It's blackuess than ever before, and the
moment Of It's terrible descent draws nearer with
each Development in the rapid course of passing
events. The stakeholder, whether on the plan.
,atou or in the populous city. knows this well
and wr.thes beneath the knowledge with dreary
anxiety which no BRAY do can conceal. Ii the
tempest does no. break in irighifGl power, it
will be only because an arm migbher than the
arm of man is outstretched to restrain il.

RmETT ON FOREIGN AFFAIRS

The Hon. Robert BarnwoIl Rhett of South
Carolina has reported 70 the JEFF. Davis Congress
from its Committee on Foreign Affairs, "a bill
recognizing the existence of War between the
"UDitcd States and the Confederate States. "
He prctaces it by long Report which we fnd
in his sons paper, The Charleston Mercury. Mr..
Rhett is an original and consistent Nulifer and
gives US here rebash of the assumptions by
which be upheld and justified Notification in
1928 with some incidents of later date by way
of ilustrat on-perhaps we should say aggraya-
ton. His principal assumptions are these,
]. The North rules The South.
But leading Carolina Nullifer--ex- Governor
| and u 5. Senator Hammond-recently claimed,
and with show or justice that the South has
hsbitually ruled; and he appealed to the North t.
say whether she had not, in the main, ruled We'll.
Between two sections so related as are ours, it is
natural that superior strength on the enc side
should be neutralized by superior unity on the
other, so that the latter enjoys at least its just
weight in their common poty ard government.
IL mas been so here. The real source Of Dir.
Rhett's discomfort is the relatively superior
growth of the North. We do not believe that is
to be arrested by separation.
2. III: unioa Of the stronger sectiOa in the ioic
Presidential Election.
But there ,cas no such union. The nearly
solid vote of the Free States for Lincoln and
Hamlin was caused by the division and disruption
Of TIE great party opposed to theDl-nhih dris-
ion and disruption ,cere Pwposed, eOntriced, plot
ted, effected, by Mr.. Rhea and his eonfederotes
They bolted from the last Democratic CONVEX
ton, refused to abide by the decision of d ma
jority of its members, brought out boiling
candidate, and split the party into fragments, on
purpose to have either Lincoln or Douglas elected,
if in their despite, and thus to achieve basis
for rebellion. So long ago as tho 4th Of July
last, the tOasts at Carolina celebrations exuted
over the prospect that the long desired dissolu.
ton of tho Union was at length within reach,
through the approaching election Of an "Aboli.
" ton" or "Squatter- Sovereignty" President.
Mr.. Rhett Is taus playing upon grievance which
he helped TO manufacture for this express end.

VIRGINIA..

The true plan for the Union men OF Western
Virginia is, in our judgment, that briefly ret
forth in our Washington dispatch this morning.
IL ia no. to attempt to divide tie State, but to
treat the action of the Richmond Convention and
of Gov. Letcher and HE subordinates as equiv.
alent to a sedtiou1 abd.cation on the part Of
the State authorities, aud thereupon to organize
Provisional Government which shall proceed to
perform lis duties In tho name of the Common
wealth Of Virginia. This appears TO US a more
jud,cious scheme than that of separation of the
State, not only because it seems likely to CON-
mand more general cooperation among the
people west of the Mountain, and is certain 10
be supported by the entire power Of the Federal
Government which cannot so well DO enlisted in
behalf Of the formation of c new State, but also
because it coItempiatef the protection and succOr

ABANDON FoRT SUMTER "A late pony
SAYS the Cabinet were debating about the
policy of Withdrawing the troops from Fort
Sumter. 1t is probably a canard. We can
see no reason in the world for such step.
Sooner .han order Major Anderson to aban-
don the post, we would have him reen-
forced, if need be, with hundred thousand
men. 1t is folly to temporize with traitors
The fort was built by and belongs to the
whole country. The government should
never surrender its own to any power on
earth, much less to traitors, till compelled
to do so by superior prowess. The ques-
ion is not susceptible of debate. No good
reason can be assigned for the step. How
the surrender of an important post into the
hands of an enemy is to benefit the govern
ment, no one has yet been able to explain
to our satisfaction. We believe it to be an
unfounded story, and not the least by seve-
raj hundred we shall hear derogatory o.
President Lincoln and his Cabinet. That
General Scott should counsel the with.
drawal of troops from Fort Sumter is toe
incredible for belief,

THE BRIDGE BILL.-The act to construct
the Pine street bridge passed the Senate
last week and will probably become law
by the signature of the Governor. The bill
provides for tax of fve-eighths of one
per cent on the property of the city, which
will produce the sum of four thousand dol
lars, sufficient to build an excellent bridge
over Deer Creek at the point designed in
the Act. We learn there is design 10 add
a considerable sum collected by subscrip-
ton to that collected by tax, to increase the
height of, and add strength and durability
to, the structure. The Act is made to take
effect sixty days from its passage. The
control of the bridge building is therefore
given to the new Board of Trustees, elected
in May.
