PREMIUMS on SLAVERY.

No man in his senses can deny that the |
cause Of OUT civil war is Slavery. ANwho
ever cast an eye back along the history Of
our country, see plainly that it is the pecu-
liar institution to which must be referred
more Of Our weakness, discord, misfor-
tunes and disgrace as a people, than to any
one cause Il is well known that Lincoln
was chosen president because the party
who supported him believed with him,
that he would 50 administer the Govern
mcat that we might gest safely in
the belief Of the ultimate extinction
Of Slavery. Now it is somewhat difficult
to understand how an institution is to be
extinguished, for the protection and defense
Of which every power and all the skill of
the Government are diligently employed.
It is not plain to sight how Slavery Is ever
to be destroyed, so long as it is shielded.

WHAT BANKS Is DOING.

Gen. Banks's column is following up the
advantage gained at Winchester, and has
driven Jackson's force several marches
further down the Shenandoah valley. On
the End inst. he advanced upon the rebels
in Strasburg and she11ed them out Of it.
They fell back on the road to Woodstock,
and were vigorously pursued to that point,
distance Of twelve miles. The rebels
contested the march most Of the way; at
some points the fighting was pretty severe
between the rear guard Of the rebels and
the advance guard Of Banks. They were
driven through Woodstock Oh the double
quick, and seven miles further, to Edin-
burgh, where quite sharp skirmish occur
red; but the place was taken, and our
troops bivouacked there for the nigh, having
chased the feet-footed Virginians nineteen
miles in one day. During their retreat the
rebels set fire to the bridges, and succeeded
in destroying several OF them.
Woodstock, where the main body Of
Banks's column was On the 4th inst, Is the
county town of Shenandoah county, and
has about one Thousand inhabitants. It
lies on the Manassas Gap Railroad, one
hundred and one miles from Alexandria,
and is connected With 6taunton by an ex-
cellent turnpike road, sixty-dve miles long.
From. Stuunton to Gordonsville is sixty
miles by, the Vnginia~ Central Railway:
Asp military point Woodstock has some
Importance; and # General Banks pene-
arates to staunton he will not only COM
Ema4d:one of the most important railroad
:1tues in Virginia, but will be in easy con
|: :nectiomw with the army Of General Fremont
:patt u: which is, it is said, already in
I Greenbrier county, among the mountains
| Moreover, by movement upon Lynch
burg, Banks would be able to cooperate il
pursuit, in case. the rebel army should bs
beaten and forced to retreat from Virginia
Banks is not the man to camp down ane
60 to fortifying" and reviewing" ThE
country may depend upon it that he viii
continue to move on the enemy's works
He can no longer be held back and KEEP,
doing nothing By the Young Napoleon
as he is assigned to an independent com
rnand, and will take his orders direct from
the War Department.

The Poor Mans Constitution,

The difference in expense, under the old and
new Constitutions, will be about as follows.
We estimate the salaries to be allowed by the
General Assembly, and base our estimate upon
what leading Egyptians" we're in favor of in
the Convention:
, 1862-04-08

Here We: have the wild Cats" fully pro-
vided for, and their vested rights most re- re :
hgiously preserved to them. At the same
time section 8 Of same article provides
that the bills Of all other banks outside Of
the State under the denomination Of ten
dollars shall be excluded from the State
immediately; while those under the de-
nomination Of twenty dollars shall be ex-
cluded after 1864, and those Of all denou1i-
nations after the year 1866. Thus the
"Wild Cats" not only have their vested
rights fully assured to them, but they are
given virtual monopoly Of the circulation
Of the State up to 1854 and after the year
1866 the entire monopoly. =.
The question then arises Are not the peo-
pie drifting between -Scfl1a and Charybdis,
in this matter? If they vote down the
Constitution and vote up the Bank article,
they give the Wild Cats" monopoly Of
the circulation fer the future. Il, On the
other hand, they vote down the Bank ari-
Gle and vote up the Constitution, the Leg
islature hereafter will have power to char
ter banks: ad d6stuzn, and ruin and disaster
will be the results.
The only safe way that We can see out
ofthis great difficulty, then, is to avoid both
Scylla and Charybdis, BY voting down the
Constitution and the Bank article with it.
Only By so doing can the State be saved
/ from ruin an disaster hereafter. Vote down
the entire monster, head, horns and all, is
| our motto!

ST. LOUIS, Dec 30.-An advance copy of
the Governors Tessage is published this after
noon.
After congratulating the Legislature and
State upon the TACT that at last a loyal Gen
eral Assembly is convened, the Governor re-
views the condition of the State since the out
break of the rebellion and says, the number
of volunteers from Missouri after the casual
tiles OF the was, is q 500, which with 10000
State militia gives a total force Of $4,000 in
the service of the war
The Governor traces at length and earn
esily recommends prompt measures 70 restore
the State credit and to reduce the Stste debt,
consistent with good faith towards holders of
the State bonds, complete the railroad which
are unfinished and secure the interests Of pri-
vate stockholders.
On the subject Of emancipation, the Cover
nor says he has long been convinced that the
material interests OF Missouri would be ad-
vanced by substituting free for slave labor,
and recommends a plan by which the children
Of slaves born after the passage Of this act,
shall be free, but remain under the care Of
their owners until they have arrived at u GER
tain age the owners TO be compensated for
the diminished value of slave mothers after
thus being rendered incapable Of bearing
slave children.
During the discussion Of the emancipation
question, The Governor says the Legislature
cannot certainly adopt II scheme by which the
owners Of slaves can be divided into classes,
without providing for the other class,

RUMoRs OF INTERVENTION.

letter states that rumors Of foreign interview
ton are quiet common here at present, but
they cannot be traced TO any authentic source.
1t is, however, claimed by many intelligent
persons that Mr.. Seward confidently expects
the Intervention of the French Government
in our affairs, and that he has shaped the for
eign diplomacy Of this Government of late,
wholly in reference 10 such a danger, hence
he comedies acquiescence in the trade going
on between New York and the French in
Mexico, and in Mr.. Corwin' singular conduct
in Mexico, The exact facts in the case are
not likely to appear at present, unless they
come to us as the first proposal of mediation
came through the English papers.
