War News.

There is little or no new war news For
several days VIC have had rumors of skirmishes
on the line Of the Potomac above Georgetown,
only one Of which has been confirmed. A
skirmish took place at the Great Falls, on
Wednesday last, in which one of the Federal
troops was wounded in the calf Of his leg. As
the Federal prpers say nothing of any other,
we may at least presume that they have
achieved no victories. We learn that their
pickets arc daily driven into their camps al
Alexandria and Arlington, and the movements
Of the Con fcderates are said to be very active
in that neighborhood.
We think it not improbable that we are on
the eve of highly important and stirring
events. The Confederate army is evidently
preparing for decisive blowout we are ne
cessarily in the mist as to what direction il
will take. There appears to be growing
impression that they will march large force
into Maryland above Washington, and there.
by compel the evacuation of that place by the
Federals. Others think that large bodies have
gone off to attack Banks and Rozencrans, in
Western Virginia. But the truth is, that The
Contederatcs, proverbial for keeping thei1
own counsel, have never been so secret as
now. 1t is impossible to speak with knowl.
edge and we find that those who are best
Informed know nothing further than that
something extraordinary is Sin the wind y
1t is therefore hardly profitable to vex our
imaginations touching what is to happen
The Confederate Generals have been able tc
engineer the cause so well, that it may bC
fairly assumed that all things are progressing
rightly in their keeping.

Broke Up.

Lincoln's abolition congress broke up on
Tuesday last and such a months violent,
extravagant and outrageous proceedings have
never been witnessed in body of men pro-
Tossing to represent n free and enlightened
people. They abased themselves before the
footstool Of arbitrary military power, and in
their haste to flatter Old Abe for his viola
tons of the law and the constitution, they
seemed only sorry that he had not perpetrat-
ed more outrages for them to sanctify with
their slavish appreciation. There is nothing
to compare them WITH unless it may be Crom-
wells Rump Parliament, or Robespere 5
French Convention. 1t seems, indeed, to be
a mixture Of both. High tariffs on the neces-
saries of life; taxes on lands, houses, incomes
and all the earnings of honest industry, seem
like mere trifes in the eyes of these despera-
does; suspensions of specie payments, and a
resort TO government shinplasters, with a To-
tai arrangement Of the business of the coun-
try, are resorted TO as mere holiday amuse-
ments.
But amongst this gang of reckless dema-
sogues the constitution had some true, fear
less and high-toned men, not deferred by Lin
coin, nor the thousands of hired soldiers by
which the capitol was surrounded. Amongst
them we will name Messrs. BgEoKIyRIDGE. VAL
LAEDrGHAM and BURNETT. Such men are the
salt of the earth, and will be remembered
with blessings, when the tools of arbitrary
power win be forgotten, or only thought of
to be loaded with curses. And though thew
had no influence on the votes of Lincoln's
congress, we may apply to them the poets
verse
More true JOY Marccllus exiled feels,
Than Caesar with Senate at Lis heels. !"
On the last day of the session, the resolu-
tion, lcgalizing the acts of Lincoln, was call
ed up. Mr. Breckenridge, our brave stand
ard-bearer, asked the yeas and nays on it,
that the names Of all, for and against these
monstrous acts of arbitrary power, might be
recorded for posterity, and the Trumbulls
the Wilson's, the Summers, the Wades and
all that horde of noisy, but cowardly, dema-
gogues, who have labored to get the country
into its present miserable condition, shurk off
refuse to vote, and let the resolution drop.
Lincoln may well say, "saye me from my
friends" What will those who have lent
millions to Lincoln do now about payment?
They deserve to lose, TO besure but the blow
seems TO come hard from their own friends.
What becomes of the legality of the blockade,
of the destruction of the habeas corpus, of
Al. ! o
timore, and the Imprisonment of their Off
GERS? Truly, they have left him naked to his
enemies All we wish is, that, in good time,
the people of the north may come to their
senses, and every one may get his deserts.

An ingenious method Of killing slugs and snails
Il published by II. Gommandeur, Of Paris. Some
time agc be accidentally left in his garden potn
which be had been making experiments with starch
and iodine, which pot, imperfectly covered with a
bit Of board remained exposed to the heat and rain
for three weeks, when, on looking one morning
into il, he was surprised to find it tenanted by
scores of snails and Sings, that had congregated in
itfrom every part Of the garden. He repeated the
experiment several times, and acquired the GER
tainty that the emanation Of iodine will attract
these creatures from considerable distance, when
they may be killed by hundreds.
