A WORD 10 WORKING MEN.

LOOK at the question as we will, we have
now no alternative but to subdue the rebels
or be subjugated by them. We must either
depose that Confederacy and enforce the
authority of the federal government over
all the rebellious States, or it will enforce
its authority over the free States, and i'm
pose upon them its system of slave labor.
If it enforces its authority over us there may
still, perhaps, be liberty for class or caste,
but oar Labordpg classes aeiIL no longer be
.Jreemen-they will be placed on a level
with the negro slave on Southern planta-
ton. For the Christian common wealth,
founded by our fathers toiled for and bled
for, we shall have re-established a Pagan
Rome. We put it to our Christian country
men, if such is the Commonwealth their
fathers fought and Suffered through the
long seven years war of the Revolution to
establish, and if they can be contented to
let the hopes of liberty in the New World
set in night of blackness and despair.
After treating of the magnitude of the
present struggle, of the slave population,
and the right of the Government to control
the entire population, in time of rebellion,
the writer proceeds,

what Mcclellan Thinks.

The army correspondent of the Savan-
nah Republican, writing from Centreville
under late date, says: ga-I xp. sll
An interesting fact has just come 70 my
knowledge, but ] must crave your indul-
gence il do not mention the channel by
which it reached me. 1t relates to pri-
vate letter which Gen. Mcclellan has
lately written to some friend in New
York. The purport of the letter is that
he does not expect to accomplish any per-
manent good by naval expeditions TO the
South, or by military operations in the
West, so long as Johnston and Beaure.
gard hold Centreville and Manassas, with
an imposing army at their back. The
Federal forces may gain temporary advan-
tages elsewhere, but these lie thinks will
be evancscent. He seems to consider the
army of the Potomac as "the head and
front" of the rebellion, and until it shall
be defeated and dispersed, and driven
from the gates of the capital, he is not
sanguine of subduing the insurrection.-
In this he is right. He may strike us in
the extremities, but 80 long as the head
and heart are left intact. the rebellion
Will survive and prosper.

Rich Scenes Occurring Among the
Lincoln Soldiery.

hlucOlu OOlulery.
The following article which we take
from the Columbus (Ky.) Confederate Ne,os,
of the l4th inst, shows with what prom.
inence the negro question figures in the
Lincoln movements in Kentucky:
There is at Fort Holt regiment com-
manded by Col. Cook, and another COM
manded by Col. Johnson,--the former
Abolition, the latter Southern 1llinoisans,
and nearly honest enough to belong to
the Southern army. 1t fell out few
days since that runaway slave was pur-
sued into the camp by Union man,
with an order from Gen. Grant for his
surrender. Notice being had of this,
the fellow was run to the woods by his
friends of Cook regiment. A reward o!
500 was publicly offered for the negroes
return. This sfi7nuMted tAe othertrgia
ment, and they swore they would have
the negro and return him TO his owner.
The Abe's men proper swore that no
such thing should be done. In few
days after, the "bone of contention" was
discovered in the camp of his friends,
and his capture was resolved upon by the
other regiment. They went over accord
ingly, prepared to execute their honest
purpose. As they approached the negro,
the wink was given him to run. He
took to his heels. but alas! too late. The
Southern Illinois boys determined not to
DO made fools of in that way; turned
loose upon the fugitive and brought him
down with seven buck shots in his body.
Now commenced scene that battles
description. A general fight ensued, in
which several were slain on both sides
and the animosity between the regiments
has become such that the soldiers in
each shoot the other whenever an oppor
| tunity presents itself.

Mate Of Tennessee, as its unanimous sense,
that any and all propositions Of the Con-

America TO reconstruct a. Union which
they have prostituted to the base purpose
of annihilating the liberties, trampling
upon the rights, destroying The lives and

of a new Confederaoy, for the maintain.
ence of their inalienable rights and the
another form under Which our enemies
would snhiugste.the South and redpce Us
