FROM FIT. PICKENS,

We have, as yet, no reports Of the fight
ss Pensacola, except through Secession
sources. We hope and expect to heat
soon that tho rebels have been drive.
from their forts aud entrenchmcnts.-
The following is from the Pensacola OF.
server Of the ed ut
"The firing, as We stated yesterday,
began from TT. Pickens. The whole Of
their fire during the morning was direct
cd 1t the steamer Times, but with very
little effect. The Times came up last
night, aud with tn, exception of two or
three little holes made with rife shot,
she is unhurt. This shows that their
guns are Of very inferior character, or
that Col. Brown and his Yankees are all
drunk-very probably the latter. The
steamer Nemo was also in the engage
ment at the beginning ofthe fire. Only
ono shot struch her, and that did not do
much damage. The Nclmo went ov
to the main land, found the Florida reg.
imont all right, and passing Billy VIII
sons batteries, she gave them q couple of
shots. which were returned. The frig.
ato Niagara tried hard to come, but her
reception was too hot, and she had to
back out. The only loss Of life that we
can learn, is that of a private in the Lou
isisna regulars, and the wife Of sergeant
OF the marinc corps-both killed by
shell in the navy yard. 4 great many
shot and shell fell into the navy yard, but
they did but little damage to the build
ings. Our guns were work.! all day.
and must have told With terrible efec:
upon tho other side. The greatest dam.
age done vas to four Of their 81; pa, which
vcntured too near one Of our bltterics. -
The editor then proc with trade
Of abuse ag,ins. the Yankoes in general,
and Col. Brown in particular. He speaks
OF the latter rs follows: But the nearest
anil most contemplate act was the exc
eution of the threat, made some time ago
by that prince of hardened scounlrels-
Harvey Brown-that he would not re.
spect hospitals.
One shot was so we'll aimed at a build.
ing that it went through it. but did no
damage. The bascncss Of this act places
this backyard below the lowest cut
throats aud vayabonds of New York
The account then continues-At Is
minutes to IL this morning, fire opened.
and still continues at a very brisk rate.
The people are not so much excited as
yesterday, and We have every appearance
OF determination to resist to the last
extremity, if need be, but every one
seems to place unlimited confidence on
our complete success. We hope the bonn.
bardmcnt will continue till the matter is
settled. Hurrah Tor tho Southoru Cow

John Cothranc's Speech.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Is.
To the Editors Of the Independent:

To the Editors Of the Independent:
The Government seems TO be moving
steadily onward Oh the slavery question,
SO far as it is connected with the war.-
One can hardly credit his senses while
reading the speeches of Mr. Cameron,
Secretary of war, and Col. John Coch-
raue, on, at the camp Of the u. S. Chas-
seurs last Wednesday, The Administra.
sion was Harmed at Gen. Fremont's proc.
!amatlon, yet, within month after, its
most important member, ncxt TO the
President, gives open uttcrance to the
boldest anti slavery doctrines.
Inc scene presented a. the camp of
Col. Cochrane's regiment last Wednes-
day afternoon was singular and crafty
ing The camp is situated northeast of
the city, just beyond the outskirts OF the
town, where the brown woods and pur-
pie hills give very handsome setting to
the picture of military life. The day
was pleasant snatch of Indian sum.
mcr in November-and the soldiers of
the regiment seemed to enjoy that which
reminded them very forcibly Of home
A political speech in camp is not usual
occurrence and the troops looked forward
to it With something like the feelings
that an expected day at home would pro-
ducc. The Col Of the regiment drew
up his men as if for a political lecture in
New York mass meeting, and for the
time being the soldier was sunk in tho
fellow citizen The speech Of Col c.
was one Of the best made anywhere
since the war broke out, and the speaker
Erappled thc Wild beast Of slavery right
By u" horns. Whenever hs uttered 4

tothc strange crime Of restoring the old
bondage. He began BY sending out an
army whsee general perfidionsiys seized
the black hero Tou.ssint and sent him
to France to die il . Dungeon.
From that moment the 'horsors of St.
Domingo" began agais. The French
armies we're driven from the Island the
negro Dessalines established himself az
Emperor, aud carried out his cruel pur.
pose Of exterminating the whites. But
he scarcely retaliated the crueltics that
the civilized French had COMMITTEE in
the name Of Napoleon, and he secured
what he desired, the extinction Of sluve-
ny. He paid fearful price, to be sure
for by expclling the whites, who might
have guided and enlightened the ignc.
rant newly freed slaves, many Of them
born in Africa, he deprived his rsce Of q
great aid to their civilization. Had Tous-
saint lived and been unmolested, this
mischief would never have happened, for
he knew and rightly estimated the value
Of the two races to each other. 81 "s 4.
This, then, Is a brief summary Of what
has been stated: ..s... 1885,.
l. Emancipation in st. Domingo was
not the result Of an instruction, but a
" military necessity" imposed on the
French government
IL. 1t was preceded, not followed, BY
outrages on the whites. ...
III. As soon as peace allowed, the
emsncipa.ed slaves were found to be
quiet, industrious, and easily managed
laborers, even under their old masters.
w. Their organization was the work
Of one Of their own number, and result.
ed in an unheard Of prosperity.
v. The subsequent determination Of
the whites was retaliation for the bru.
,al outragcs Of Lcclerc, Rochambenu, and
the other generals of the First Consul,
and in no sense u Legitimate result Of
emanc; patton.
Has the story no lesson for us? Shall
we wait until instruction and despair
force " to free the slaves, when perhaps
it will be too late to control and organize
them; or shall We now seize the golden
moment to do an act of tardy justice,
and at the same time end this costly and
thus far inclorious war? Shall We be
added to the long list
"Of nations slowly wise and meaniy Just"
who have Rugged their ruin 10 their
arms, aud gone down to death insepara-
bic from the vile mischief that poisoned
the sources Of life.
