CoNTRABAND GUNNEEs.-A large
number Of Fort Monroe ''contrabands''
sailed with the naval expedition which
captured the uattcras Forts. They
were chiefly employed as coal heaT-
ers, fremen and cooks, Oh board the
fleet. but their loyalty and fighting
propensities were partially gratified by
allowing them to work and fire one of
the 50 Founders Oh board the steam
frigatc Minnesota. tits reported that
the "darkies" handled the piece in ex-
ccllent and efficient style. What great
reason is there for not allowing more
contrabands to lend d hand III defence
of the Stars and Stripes? Negroes are
employed by thousands, in the rebel az
mics, to fight against the Union. Why
not ''let nigger' fight ''nigger."

WnE,7 WE WILL HAVE PEACE.-A
distinguished Salt Lake Mormon elder
makes the predictlon-or rather ex-
presses, as be calls it, the decided opin-

peace until Brigham Young takes the
government in hand, which glorious
consumation is to be brought about be-
fore long.

Dick lnson on Peace.

All OF Hon. D. S. Dickinson's speech
es On the crisis are good, and every
part Of them. But the following sharp
analysis Of the Governments treatment
OF rebellion, and of the peace delusion
and the enunciation of the true doc
trine, appears to us particularly GOOD.
Speaking Of the fall of Fort Sumter he
says:
In extreme peace, the government of
the United States-the administrations.
Of Dir. Buchanan and Of Mr.. LincoIn
both committed great fault in permit
ting those rebellious people to erect
batteries to reduce a United States for
tress. But, in mistaken leniencv, Is
was done, hoping to bring back those
straying brothers to the fold of the Tn
ion, when all sensible men knew that
/ they had no good feeling, that they liad
determined upon rebellion. and that
there was no other way to treat them
but by the strong hand of power And
had that been extended to them earlier,
think it would have suited their con-
dition better. (Applause)

rebels a proposition of peace. Parties

CAUSE OF THE LATE RAILROAD Dis

that the cause Of the late disaster on
the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad was
not criminality on the part of the reb-

FREMONT TO BE LEFT ALONE
Our dispatches this morning announce
that the Government will take no i'm
mediate action in Fremont's case. He
will be allowed to carry out his plan
in regard to the capture of Gen. Price,
without interference. This will be
hailed with satisfaction by the people

oa3 Exchange has declined to mere
nominal figure, it being plenty in Mil
waukee, outside the Banks, at per

the renewed confidence in the Banks,
and partly to the fact that the unprece-

currency, which latter proves too linn

ANOTHER LEADING DEM0CRT SPEARS.
BENJAMIN [. HALLETT, Of Massachu-
sets, who has written about every
Democratic Platform that has been
adopted by the Democratic National
Conventions for twenty years past, has
just written letter full of the most
lofty patriotism, placing the writer
squareiy on the noble platform Of Dick
1NsoN, BUTLER, DIX, and other great
lights of the party. Mr.. HAL1ETr plain
~ says: "The simple issue is the over
throw or the support of the Govern
ment Ia this whole Union" That is
the whole story, and until ''the re-cstab-
lishment OF the supreme Government

ritories" is effected, cor it is fully de
monstrated that it cannot be done by

session of the rebels. 1t was taken
from the banks and buried by Colonel
Alulligan on the camp ground some
time ago. The rebels speedily unearth-
ed it.
Col. II. wept like q child when he
found himself compelled to surrender.
The morning after the surrender the
men were all released on parole, and
terrled across the river; the officers
were retained. The loss of the rebels
is not known, but it is thought to be
not less than 900 killed and wounded.
Their first attack proved more disas-
trous to them than the long seige which
followed. For day or two previous
to the last attack they were engaged in
burying their dead.
Chicago, Sept. 25.-From reports OF
some Of Nuliigan's command who ar
rived i'll this city last night, we obtain
the following additional particulars 4:
The men left Lexington on Saturday
P. IL. Nearly two hours were occu-
pied in ferrying them over the river.
At three O clock they started for Ham
ilton, forty miles distant, under the
guidance of several armed secessionists.
The advance portion reached Hamilton
at shutdown. At 10 o clock most the OF
party took the train for Clumsy. Along
the route to Hamilton, they were kindly
treated, and all the money thew could
raise was employed to oct wagons tC
carry the wounded, though all those Sc
verely wounded remained at Lexington
Only one commissioned officer, Lieut.
hallenberg, escaped.
They all agree that the rebel loss kill
ed and dangerously wounded is from
nine to twelve hundred.
The Quincy Wing of last night states
on information from an intelligent mem
Der Of Col. NarshalI's Regiment, that a
leading rebel surgeon conceded THEN
loss at 1,l30.
Our men lost 1870 in killed and
wounded, and some four hundred hor
ses Of Col. Marshall's }egiment were
killed, it being Impossible to shelter
them from the cnemy's cannon.
After the surrender many Of ON
men shot their horses to prevent then
falling into the enemy's bands.
Quincy reports by telegraph say
that Gen. Sigel, with a large force, al
SO Gems Lane and Hunter, had arriy
ed at Lexington and attacked Price.
An officer i'll the employ Of the Gov
eminent heard heavy firing, while pass
ing Hamilton yesterday, and says il
WAS believed that Sigel had Price il
the same position that Col. Mulligal
had been placed in.
In regard to Gen. Hunter, this re
port cannot be true, as he was at Rol
Ia, two hundred and fifty miles from
Lexington, on Saturday.
Grafton, Va, Sept. 25.-Five hun
dred Of the 4th Ohio regiment, Will
one piece Of artillery, and RingoId's
cavalry Of seventy-fve in number, I'm
der Col. Cantwell, and four hundred
of the 8th Ohio under Col. Parker
made an advance from New Creek on
Monday towards Romney, drove the
enemy (soyen hundred stroag) out OF
Mechanlcsburg Gap on the morning OF
the oath, and advancing Oh Romney
stormed the town, causing the enemy
| (whose force numbered fourteen hun
dred infantry and cavalry to retreat
to the Mountains, with loss Of about
thirty-tiye killed and a large number
wounded. Our loss was three killed
and ten wounded.

CAUSE OF THE REBELLIoN-Th
cause Of the present civil war is sEuUery
No man denies it-At least no one WHO
IS honest to his convictions. Where
ever slavery is, there can be found
treason and rebellion. Where there
are no slaves, the people are loyal
W here slaves are most numerous, the
traitors are most bitter and impIacable.
Ii there were no slaves, the whole Tn.
ion would be as profoundly at peace as
the Western States are among them
selves. Slavery IS the sole clement OF
dlscord in our political system. IF the
c1ttse can be removed, the effect viii
disappear. " hen the uncIean spirit
is cast out, concord and brotherhood
will reign throughout the lan1.-Dai-
" Life.

SeuIptors In Florence.

The Florence correspondent of the London
Atheneum says:
Among the Florentine sculptors and ex-
hibitors Hiram Powers and the Englishman
(Charles Francis Fuller) ought to have q
prominent place. But the works exhibited
by both of them have already been made
known to the English public The former
has sent his Fisher Boy and his American, a
bust of Proserpine and q portrait bust; the
latter his Castaway, a shipwrecked man on
raft hailing dis ant sail, in bronze, and a
portrait bust. But instead of writing to you
of these, will take this opportunity of men,
tioning two unfinished works, one in the
studio Of either sculptor, which will, think,
in the case of the American, and undoubt-
edly in the case of the EDglishman by far
the youngest artist of the two be the finest
work yet produced by either of them.
In the case of Powers, the author of the
Greek Sl0Ue the Fisher Boy and the Amer
ican, this is saying great deal; but if mis-
take not, the Eve Disconsolate," which
now stands nearly finished in plaster, will be
greater favorite with the world than any
of his previous works. 1t is popularity of
Powers that, except for portrait busts, he
discards the use of clay altogether, shaping
his thought out OF the plaster Immediately,
and working this substance with a file to a
surface, representing, with wonderful sue
cess, the tissue of the human skin. The
"Eve," not quite finished in the lower limbs,
stands thus worked, and is as exquisite a
statue as it can be when transferred to the
marble. With aweight ofunspeakablew woe on
her upturned features, which yet is borne with
resignation, and with total freedom from any
melodramatic grimacing, she is pacing forth
instinct with the two-fold majesty of intense
sorrow and match ess beauty. why dost
thou not speak to me, Mark" DonRtello is
reported to have cried, as he looked up at the
statue of the Saint on the wall of Or San
Michele; and with at least as good reason
might be asked of the Eve why she does not
advance, so admirably is the idea of move
ment impaired to the figure. She is walking
and that with an inimitable grace and ma
jesty which is the very poetry of motion, the
| pose and carriage of the beautiful creature
suggesting to one the noiselees and majestic
| movement of the stem of a noble ship.
1t is great pity that this grand work car
not be in the marble in time for our Inter
national Exposition next year. But thu
English public may be quite sure of hearing
more of Hiram Powers new work.
