Later Particulars,

FoRrREss MONROE, Mach lO.--With the
assistance of the steamer Spaulding, the
Minnesota has been got of, and she IS now
On her way here. She has received nus
merous shots, but no serions damage.
The Congress is supposed to have lost
over 100 men, including but one officer
The escaped crews of the Cumberland
and the Congress have arrived here.
The Monitor has come up to the expec~
tatioDs that were formed of her, and has
proved herself impregnable to heavy shot
at close quarters.
She behaved remarkably wei! on her pas
sage from New York, and although the sea
covered her decks completely at times. her
speed did nor seem to be at all diminished.
To her presence here may De attributed
the safety OF Ehe Minnesota and the other
vessels in port, and the final disablement OF
the Merrimac which had previously been
proof against everything
Captain WordeD, of the Monitor was
wounded in the head while he was looking
out OF the Whee house.
No other accident of any kind occurred
10 the battery or crew. We have no accu.
rate let Of the killed and wounded.
DISPATCHES FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, March lO.--Lieut. w Use
arrived this afternoon bringing dispatches
from Fortress Monroe. Bat few particus
lars have yet TRANSFERRED, as nis interview is
not yet closed.
The following items are reliable. Capt.
Radford was engaged on a court martial
and not On board the Cumberland.
Lieut.. j. B. Smith, son OF commodore
Smith, was on board the Congress, and is
killed.
The loss in killed, drowned, wounded and
missing is supposed to be 100.
Lieut.. Worden, who handled the Monitor
so skilifuliy, is here and is in the hands of a
surgeon. He was in the pilot house of the
Monitor, when the Merrimac directed a
whole hroadside at it, and received his in
juries from the minute fragments of shells
aud the powder which were driven through
the lookout holes
Lieutenant Worden WIS., stunned by the
conclusion and WIS carried away.
On recovering he asked L" Have saved
the Minnesota p
The reply was Yes, and whipped the
Merrimae."
TO which be answered " Then | don't
care what becomes of me-"
His injuries are net supposed to be dam
gerOus.
The Minnesota Was eventually got off
and towed under the guns of Fort Monroe.
The loss Of 100 killed, given you in a for.
mer despatch, was on board the Cumber
land. The crew of the Congress is scat
tered, and there are no means of ascertain
ing her loss at present.
The naval Authorities and experts here,
are confident that the Merrimac Is disabled,
and that toe Monitor is adequate to her in
every respect.

MORE ABOUT TIE NEGRO

The proposed emancipation would shorten the
war; perpetuate peace insure this increase of pop
Ilation, and proportionately the wealth of the
country. With these, We should pay all that
emancipation would cost, together with our other
debt easier than we should pay our other debt
without il. L. we had allowed our old national
debt to run at six per cent. per annum, simple in
terest from the end of our revolutionary struggle
until to-day, without paying anything on either
principal interest, each man of US r,ould owe
less UPON that debt now than each man owed upon
it then; and this because our increase of men,
through the whole period. has been greater than
six per cent has faster than the interest upon
the debt Thus, time alone, relieves n debtor ma
tion so long as the population increases faster
than unpaid interest accumulates on its debt.
This TACT would he no excuse for delaying pay
ment of what is justly due; but it shows the great
importance of time in this connection-the great
advantage of policy by which we shall not have
to pay until we number hundred millions, what,
by a different policy. we would have TO pay now,
when we number but tLi.ty Que millions. In
word, it shows that dollar will be harder to pay
for the war, than will be dollar for emancipa-
ton on the proposed plan And then the latter
will cost no blood, no precious life. 1t will be
saving of both.
ABOLITION n ANOTHER ASPECT.
As to the second article, think it would be
;mpracticable to return to bondage that class of
persons therein contemplated. Some OF them,
doubtless, in the property sense. belong TO loyal
owners. and hence, provision is made in this
article for compensating such.
coLosIzArros THE ruruRE OF TIE FREED MICRO
The third article relates to the future of the
freed people. 1t does not oblige, but merely au-
thorzes, Congress to aid in colonizing such
may consent. This ought not to be regarded as
Objectionable, on the one hand or on the other in
so much as it comes to nothing, unless by the
mutual consent OF the people, to be deported, and

cannot make it better known than it already
is, that strongly favor colonization. And yet
wish to say there is AN objection urged against
free colored persons remaining in the country,
which is largely imaginary, If not sometimes ma
lscious.
1t is insisted that their presence would injure,
and displace white labor and white laborers. IL
there ever could be proper time for mere catch
arguments. that time surely is not now. In times
like the present, men should utter nothing for
which they would not willingly be responsible

POSTAL AFFAIRS.

IL gives me pleasure to report a decided I'M
provement i'm the financial condition of the Post
Office Department, as compared with several pre-
ceding years The receipts for the fiscal year
1861 amounted to S,349 .296 40, which en-
braced the revenue from all the States of the
Union for three quarters of that year Notwith
standing the cessation of revenue from the So
called seeded States during the last fiscal year.
the increase OF the correspondence of the loyal
States has been sufficient TO produce revenue
during the same year of s.. .299 $50 80, being
only $50 900 less than derived from all the
States OF the Union during the previous year.
The expenditures show a still more favorable
result. The amount expended in 1861 was
Sl3,606,759 IL. For the last year the amount
has been reduced to S11 ,l25, ,364 l3, showing q
decrease of about g., ,4sl 900 in the expenditures
as compared with the preceding year, and about
s3,750,000 as compared with the fiscal year 1860
The deficiency in the department for the pre-
vious year was 1851, 966 90. For the last fis-
cal year it wat reduced to s2,ll2.sl4 81. These
favorable results are in part owing to the cessa-
ton of mail service in the insurrcctionary States,
and in part to careful review of all expendi-
lures in that department in the interest of econ
omy The efficiency of the postal service, ID IS
believed, has also been much improved The
Postmaster General has also opened a sores
pondence, through the Department of State, with
foreign governments, proposing convention of
postal representatives for the purpose of simpli-
flying the rates of foreign postage, and to expe-
