ABOLITION AND SECESSION.

The following, which we extract from
an article ID the New York Tribune few
days since, is so truthful. and points 50 di-
rectly to class we have in our own COM
munity, that had 1t not appeared as edit
Orial in that paper, We should have been
inclined to think that it might have been
penned by some one nearer home.

CAPTURE OF MASON AND Sill
DELL.

In our telegraphic columns will be found
the cheering news of the capture on board
an English steamer of Messrs. Mason and
Slidell, accredited agents from the Con-
federate States to the courts of France
and England. From the known character
of their mission-the marked ability of
the men-and the feeling to "a certain ex-
tent already existing across the Atlantic
growing out Of the blockading of the
Southern ports, and the consequent cut
ting off their supplies Of cotton, this fortu-
nate event assumes an importance which
under other circumstances, wo I'D be con-
sidered trivial.
We are not of those who believe that
had these agents been successful in reach
ing the places of their destination, that
they could have accomplished the great
object of their mission, yet their presence
in those countries would have tendency
to increase the feeling of sympathy tow
ards the South, and a corresponding pre-
JUDGE towards the North, which they Ger
tainly would have spared no pains in &C.
complishing, and out of which much mis-
chief might have grown.
In view then of this fact, their capture
and detention by our government, vii. be
regarded as one of the most fortunate
events Of the war, and, in connection with
the recent success of our Naval Expedi-
ton, will inspire our people with renewed
confidence il the ultimate success Of our
arms, and kindle anew the spirit Of patri-
otism in the breast of every loyal citizen.
In like measure it, tendency viii also
be to dishearten and distract our oppo-
nents. Their numerous slight successes
from the battle Of Bull Run up to that Of
Edwards Ferry, have given them great
confidence in their proves. thereby very
much strengthening the cause. This ilIu-
sion Is now fast passing away, and if we
are not mistaken foretaste Of the bitter
end will soon pop before their improved
vision in stern reality. We therefore
most heartily congratulate our readers
upon this success. and await with patience
the next great event in the workings of
an overriding providence in putting down
this unholy and corrupt Rebellion.

THE EXPEDITION.

At last the fighting work Of the Expe-
dition is done. We have achieved a vic
tory the intrinsic importance Of which
cannot BE- overrated. while the special
glow Of satisfaction that will thrill each
Northern heart-to know that We have es-
tablished a basis of offensive operations,
and planted a Lincoln" army in the very
aristocratic heart OF rebellious South Car
DINA, Is perhaps in itself almost worth the
battle.
The splendid harbor of Port Royal.
South Carolina, Is one OF the finest an
chorage grounds in America. with water
deep enough and broad enough - float
all the navies OF the world. There i.
hardly a harbor on our coast that offers
so many facilities for commerce a Port
Royal.
In Beaufort. which i, on the eastern
side ofthe island of Port Royal. was g.
tablished the first English settlement in
South Carolina. The town i but small
affair. with about thousand inhabitaat--
Is sixty miles by the road from Savannah.
and about seventy-two from Charleston.
From the town 10 the Charleston and Sa-
vannah Railroad il i about sixteen miles.
1t is a smart little town being the South
Carolina watering place. and trequented
only by the best society. Many OF the
Charleston upper tens" have summer
residences there. The district Of Beau
fort has population Of nearly 10000. Of
which six-seventh are slaves. The whole
district Is flat and swampy and made up
entirely of sea islands separated from each
other by very remarkable network Of
inlets, estuaries and bayous. 1t Is in these
inlets the pirate craft of the rebels have
found shelter. The great cash produc-
tions of the county are rice, cotton and
Indian corn-the aggregate product of
which is about S5.500,000
The movement on Beaufort Is one of
the most important steps yet taken, and
if successful it will scatter the army of
the Potomac, which will not remain in the
North weile their homes are attacked in
the South. The plan of Gen. Mcclellan
is to strike in many places at once. The
next few weeks will be filed with impor-
tant events. Wait patiently, and have no
fears for the result.

Is THE EDITOR OF THE COURT
Err REALLY A MARTYR?

few days has evidently been laboring I'M
der Sc ere attack of delirium, superin-
duced by our structures few days since
upon his attack upon Mr.. Beecher and his
lecture, in which we alluded to some of
Mr.. Cain IS past abolition history. He this
week dfvotes nearly his entire space to
our hu mble self, and if half he says of
US is true, we really fear we are no better
than we should be. See what a picture
he draws of US:
The principal and responsible editor of
the Herald is George A. futile. He is
member of the Baptist Church, and
makes profession of religion, sobriety, pi-
ETY., morality and all the other virtues. If
the Baptist society continues to keep this
black sheep in its fold, very few will desire
to pass the same broad road to destruction
that thi man futile seems to be travelling.
! Sure enough, the DeviI never hurts any
body 6dt his o,on satellites" and should the
Heratd man look into mirror, he would
in establishment behold that "old cloyen
foot has got him where he cannot get
away s. hort of total change of character"
We should really think the editor of the
| Courier would be afraid to be out o nights
after this. In fact we do begin 10 feel
ugly. and nothing but the statute before
our eyes prohibiting cruelty to animals
prevents our publishing one Of his old ab-
clifton documents which We chance to have
in our possession just now. But then he
owns up and says he has repeEted, and
thinks it hard to have that matter thrown
in his face just now All right. In his
zeal he confirms the old adage, that the
wickedest sinners sometimes make the
most jealous saints. The only trouble we
can see Is for him to satisfy the public that
his conversion is genuine. Satan himself
often assumes the robes of piety, but he
never passed through more transformations
than has the Courier man.
He admits that when he united with
the Free Soil party and issued has flaming
hand-JiHs. it was only for the purpose OF
putting down the Wing party-so that,
we presume, he could share the spoils.
Here for once We thirk he is honest, and
fully expresses the only principles by
which he was ever actuated in his defence
of the rights of the dear people and his
patriotic devotion to the country.
He one day adopts as his motto q" free
speech, free laJor, and free men," for the
purpose of putting down the Wing party,
and the next, Let each State regulate ter
otcn domestic Institutions" for a like pur-
pose He will one day assume to be the
friend of the down-trodden foreigner, ard
the next is heard to speak contemporary
of the "Hhle Freedman - all for the
same end. Wonderful philanthropy =
Wond erful patriotism, truly!
But this Cain has great versatility of
talentE He makes patriotic speeches at
flag faisings, composes religious poetry
for de dications, writes editorials and COM
munid ations for his paper. and abuses the
