Mr.. RUssELL's letters from the Slave region
show that this rebellion is essentially aris.
tOcratic, based on ideas radically opposed to the
equality even of White meE. In his letter last
published, he says;
"My companion was o very intelli-
gent Southern gentleman, formerly editor
Of q newspaper. We talked of the crime Of
the country, of the brutal shootngs and
stabbings which dsgraced it. He admitted
their existence with regret, but he could
advise aud suggest no remedy. The row.
dies have rushed in upon us, so that we
can't master Them is the law powerless g
We'll, Sir, you see these men get hold of
those who should administer the law, or
they are zoo powerful or too reckless to be
kept down. That is reign of terror-ol
mob-ruffianism p 1t don't hurt respectable
people much, but agree with you, it must
be put down When-how p We'll, Sir,
when things are settled we'll Just take the
law into our own hands Not man shall
have vote unless he's American. born, and
by degrees we'll get rid of these men who
disgrace u.s. Are not many of your regi
ments composed of Germans and Irsh-oi
foreigners, intact? p Yes, Sir did not
suggest to him the thought which rose in
my mind, that these gentlemen, If successful,
would be very little inclined to abandon
their rights while they had arms in their
hands, but it occurred to me as well that
this would be rather poor reward for the
men who were engaged in establishing the
Southern Confederacy. The attempt may
fail, but assuredIy have heard it expressed
too often TO doubt that there is determina-
tion on the part of the leaders in the move
ment to take away the suffrage from the
men whom they do not scruple to employ
in fighting their battles If they cut the
throats of the enemy, they will stide their
own sweet voices at the same time, or soon
afterward-a capital recompense to their
emigrant soldiers T.
These things will be thought of.

There Is a.dvinity shaping the course o
this war, and we must accede to its fortunes
and its misfortunes with equal trust and
hopefnlness. There is one thing and only
one, at the bottom Of the fight, and that
is the negro. And vet, both North and
South nre studiously ignoring the fact, and
decsiyiug themselves and trying to deceive
the world as TO the cause OF quarrel. The
South prcteuds TO be fighting for indepeud'
ence-but i, is fighting for the establishment
of human bondage us the basis Of repubH'
can government. The Nosth or loyal
States. claim to be fighting foe the reestab.
lishment cf the Constitution aud laws, and
to have no thought Of property or social
institutions in their minds. But they know
that until Slavery changes its relation to
Government, and becomes its complete
snbject instead of its arrogant MASTER the
peace and safety of the Republic are impos'
sible.
If our Army had been victorious at
Manassas, they would have marched on 10
Richmond, aud ended this war on false
basis both parties ignoring to the last the
cause o! the war. The God that rules oveI
all, and does exact justice in the end to bono
and free, would not permit compromise o
this sort to forestall his providence. AnC
he has awakened the nation, as by the shocl
Of an earlhuakc.
