MOVEMENTS OF SOUTHERN
UNIONISTS.

Richmond papers ofthe 2Sth say Charles
ton was fired IN several places on Sunday
evening last. Several wooden buildings, OF
small value, were destroyed.
A strong Union conspiracy has been dis
covered in the mountains of Georgia, and at
tempts have been made to burn a number OF
bridges. A large bridge on the Georgia
Central Railroad has been burned. Union
men were being hung clandestinely. ..
A correspondent of the Richmond Dis
patch writing from White Sulphur Springs
Va, under date of the 18th ult., says in refer
ence to the late Federal expeditions on the
Southern coast
"These visits from the Yankees are hav-
ing the worst effect possible"
We again hear of the Chionists of North
Carolina, who have been qulescent for ong
time pas, through young man who mas
" inst succeeded in escaping from the State"
He says the loyalists are growing stronger IN
numbers and character every day, and 1t Is
not improbable that they will soon begin
a counter revolution against the rebels.
There is well founded belief of serious
disahection to the rebel government, amount
inc almost to insurrecton at Charleston, by
reason of the apparent abandonment of the
South Carolina coast, from national invasion
and the immense destruction of property that
owners have willingly consigned to the flames
They have destroyed not less that $4,000
900 worth of cotton, which at last accounts
they were deploring, as they supposed the
blockade was about to be raised by England
and they might have shipped and sold 1t
They were holding u. D." responsible for
these disastrous losses, and many citizens
were bold enough to say that the old govern
ment was better than tie new.

EyT The New York Times processes to
have information that ten days will not
eapse before retreat will present itself to the
minds Of the reoel leaders as the alterna tive
of hazards they will never choose to encoun-
ter, and that the evacuation of Manassas
must take place "under penalty of certain
and irreparable disaster" If that is really
the case, we hope they will not euacuate. But
let US wait and see what the prediction is
worth.

gy 1t is thought that Gen. Buel will not
be really to move On the rebels at Bowling
Green, Ky, before ten days at least. The
bridge over Green River at Mumfordsville is
SAID to be completed. The rebels are des-
troying the Louisville and Nashville Railroad
in order to impede the Fed raj advance, but
Gen. Buel does not mind it, as there is
broad and excellent turnpike from Num-
louisville to Bowling Green, the distance be.
ing only AZ miles. There must he fighting
in Kentucky soon.

The Burlington Times says that Alon-
20 Clark, the horse thief, whose exploits we
have twice chronicled within the last week
has made Lis final appearance, for the pres,
en- at least. He was overhauled at lIaver.
hill, day or two since, and is now in Jail at
Amherst, N. II. When accused by the Sher-
if of having stolen eleven horses, he indig-
nantly rejoined, alt was lie--he had stolen
only ten I" lie pretends, we understand, to
be crazy. He certainly has a mania for
stealing horses

RaS The Times Washington corresponds mt
says that radical Republican Member of
Congress had private interview with the
President recently, in which the latter avow-
ed his fixed determination to oppose any
measure of gener al emancipation, or for a M
ing confiscated slaves of rebels. The latter
portion of the report we do not believe. We
do not think tbs President has come to the
"fxed determination" not to arm the confs-
Gated slaves. II the rebels arm their slaves
against the Union, when those slaves come to
US we are in favor Of arming them to fsh.
for the Union If they will. ~-~'s~

u,SThe only bass upoa which jeff Davis

ESIhe only bass upon which jeff Davis
builds his hopes of successful issue Of the
contest with the Federal Government, is
founded upon the expectation CT foreign and.
The boosted strength Of " the South " TO
maintain itself is all moonshne," Colo.
NAL dependency is even proposed as prefer
able to the position of co-equa independent
State in the Union. But note the hypocracy
and deception OF the arch traitor. The South,
ern States seeded because the majority Of
the people of the United States have declared
in the election of Mr.. Lincoln, their deter
mination not to tolerate the further extension
of slavery upon this continent. That declar-
alton affords the aaimuS and the pretext of
the rebellion.
The world knows it. And yet jeff Davis
is so foolish as to suppose that he can hood
wink the world by utterly ignoring in his
message this slavery question which lies at
the bottom of the rebellion, and by talking
loudly about the "unconquerable will of the
South to be free" The world understands
his meaning, though he hes withheld it. 1t
is the "unconquerable will to be free to
hold slaves and to perpetuate the accused
system upon this continent, for which he is
fighting. Cursed-thiice cursed be the ma
ton that lends him aid in his devilish work.

val OF all true Union men, while the rebel

nonnce it. There isno is,t. IL lie minds
Of loyal men of the power OF the President,
as Commander Chief of the army, to
free tho slaves OF rebels D:sIoyal men
probably think differently. Their sympa-

and m ules. aud guns and powder. why
not their slaves? This oct OF President
Lincoln's viii immortalize lis name and

and opposition to human liberty.
