THE mISSISSIPPx PROBABLY
OPEN.

The retreat Of the rebels from Corinth
unquestionably opens the Mississippi to
New Orleans. As the fall of Donelson
forced the reverend traitor, Bishop Polk,
to abandon Columbus, 80 the retreat of
Bcauregard from Corinth has doubtless
made the rebel General Villipigue and his
butternut gentry skedaddle" from Fort
Pillow, If not already gone, Commodore
Davis will at once give him marching Or
ders, Memphis is of course ours whenever
the Lincoln gunboats" choose to make it
visit. This will open up new route for
supplies for General Halleck's army, as
they can go down the Mississippi by steam
er to Memphis, and thence directly by rail
to his camp. As the Tennessee has been
rapidly falling, the opening Of the Missis-
s1ppi to Memphis is, Oh this account alone,
matter Of yast importance to the army
Of the West, as well as to the Treasury of
the Government, for the troopsmust be fed
at whatever cost For time it NAV be
necessary for steamers to go in small fleets,
especially if they attempt to make the trip
to New Orleans, under convoy Of 8 gun
boat or two; but there can scarcely be
doubt that al the forts on the river are al
ready abandoned. It will only be neces-
sary 10 protect transports against an &C.

only be armed with rifles, but might, by
some means, have piece Of ordnance on

in the next day or two, may exchange
greetings, and t'bonfres and il1uminations'

to the Union men Of Baltimore, and they
nghteously improved it. When Banks was
routed, and the Maryland regiment under

while those Of the squad not on guard found
comfortable quarters in an old og-hou=e near
the bridge. On certain day negro found
means to communicate to them the TACT that
it would not be safe to occupy that building

had planned the capture Of the party and the
next night the plan was to be executed.
Thus warned, they abandoned the house and
the whole party secreted themselves near the

Little Rock, without the corporation Of the

critical situntian. Already guerrilla bands
are operating in our rear, cutting off our sup
plies and interrupting our communication and
doing much damage. We are q long distance
from railroads or steamboata. a wild, rough
country, bad roads and deep streams gre be-
tween Us and our supplies and suecor, and it
is thought to be impolitic by many to isolate
ourselves any further from support if needed.

THE KNIGHTS AT WORK.

We have q letter from a gentleman
well-known in Southern Illinois, in which
he expresses great anxiety to know what
the North end Of the State will do in refer
ence to the New Constitution, Among
other things esays:
Depend upon it, you must be at work to de-
feat the infamous thing. By the means Of the
lodges Of the traitorous knights Of the Golden
Circle-eyery one of said Knights is a eeces-
sionist Of the bitterest sort, and q
friend to the. Springfield abo1nination-
po1led here. Could the people be left to
their own impulses they would choke it to
deatl; but they have not examined it.; they
have no organization !; they are imposed upon
by the Union pretensions of its secession
friends; the bank argument, the niger argu-
the economy Of the thing, are n
dustIioqsly- Piled, and under that meal
majority OF cur people do not see the cat with
claws; hence, if1 am not mistaken, the turn
ont on election day will be considerable and the
vote largely for the fraud. Could the people
know, as know, that the men in Southern
Illinois Who are most prc-eminently active in
working for the SUCCESS Of the constitution
are traitors at heart-as hostile TO the Govern
ment as JEFF. Davis or Beauregard-mcmbers
mostly OF dislo5al associations, chief OF which
is the H. Il. T., they would surely vote as
they ought. But we cannot go teach them
the time before election is too short. We
must depend On you Of the North and LET
me expect you, Standing On the walls as a
sentry, to cry aloud and wake up Northern
and Central Illinois to the danger with which
the material prosperity OF the whole State is
threatened BY the possible success OF that
croTnfng act Of secession Impotence. Viii
you nots
We copy faithfully what our correspond.
ent has written, and once more urge the
matter Of which he speaks upon the attcn.
ton Of men Of all parties in this end o1
Illinois. We do not share his alarm, ex.
cept that VIC fear that the excitements
growing out Of the war will make cur men
apathetic, and that they will not go to the
polls. Why not organize in each village
town. and possibly neighborhood, com.
mittee to see to it that the people yote-a,
least that enough. of them vote to put q
quietus on this Egyptian attempt to usurE
the power Of the State. We appeal to you
Sir, and you. VIII you give half day tc

either to pass it br and thus encourage its

either to pass it by and thus encourage its
repetition, or strike and punish it on the
spot They chose the alternative, and
struck what Peter Cartwrjght-the ReTer-
end Peter, we mean-would call apostolic
knocka Every mouth opened to give
utterance to threat OF taunt was closed
with blow: Every rebel fist shaken in
defiance Of the Government and the Union
was beaten down and unclenched; and
every scowl Of hate and revenge
Was soon changed into an ex-
preston Of abject fear. The Unionists
were triumphant. In such contest they
would naturally be. They were the
"greasy mechanics" to use the Southern
slang, who are accustomed to hammer;
and hammer and pound they did to their
hearts content The streets were cleared
of secesh, and by the aid ofthe police, quiet
was restored.
L very lamentablc piece Of business IN
deed but there is poetic Justice in it that
our readers will be sure to recognize ct q
glance. Slavery is the embodiment and
impersonation Of violence, exercised, first,
at the expense Of the negro, and, by anatu-
raj process, next upon the non- n-slaVehold-
ers Of the white race. It lives BY
the use Of the whip, the branding-iron,
hound dogs and manac1es Without bru-
taliiy and inhumanity, it would die. And
its child, secession, is like the progenitor-
q creature Of the same form and blood: It
has made its way, from the first, BY bully
ing and violence. Was any quiet citizen. of
the South opposed to the consummation Of
| it's Madness" ride him on rail-" tar
and feather him" "shoot hi1n-the Abo1i-
tionist!" was the cry. Did any ever giyee1-
preston TO the belief that slavery was not
the highest Development Of Christianity, and
secession the flower Of pure Democracy,
and that insane cry WAS repeated, and its
objurgations enforced We are not sorry
even at this late day, to see the teachings
fparent and child brought home to them
at their cost. They have welded tile bowie
| knife, the revolver, and have handled the
tar pot and feather sack until the men of
peace by instinct and conviction, have
learned the lesson and they will teach
it again.
Let US hope, then, that in Baltimore the
example has been set that will not be lost
upon Union men elsewhere, They now
know that present victory is not always
the argument when opposed by force, and
that, oftentimes, the most economical and
bloodless way to resist aggression is to be:
come the assailauts.
