From the Christian Messenger.
The Kingdom OF Cotton.

For long series Of years, the growing
power and influence Of Slavery have been ap-
parent i'll our country. 1t is evident that the
able statesmen who laid the foundations Of
our republic, had no idea that they were max
ing provisions for the permanent growth and
final triumph Of Slavery in this boosted land
Of freedom. They regarded it as an evil,
which was entaled upon US, aud was only to
be tolerated with the fixed purpose of its being
displaced by the march of time, and the tri-
umphs of the principles embodied in cur own
declaration of independence. Our fathers
have left record on this subject, which can.
not be misunderstood or forced into the ser.
vice OF the friends of Slavery. The senti.
ments and language Of Washington and JEFF.
fcrson on this topic. if uttered in Jeffdom
would expose those who should do it to per.
secution and death at the hands of the bloody
defenders Of the system Of Slavery.
When the growth Of cotton in America
was In its infancy, slavery was look ed upon
as an evil by statesmen North and South, and
we might pretty accurately exhibit the growth
OF pro-slavcry sentiment in the Southern
States by simple tabular exhibit Of the rise
and progress Of the cotton trade. The only
successful method therefore of securing a
change OF sentiment at the South is by des.
troylns the cotton monopoly. A blow at this

OF " the hazard OF Il movement into the interior

TIE FLOODS IN CALIFORNIA Private letters
from California give very sad accounts of the
food which prevailed last month. A San Fran.
cisco letter says that no goods are selling, and
everybody appears to be engaged in contribu-
ting relief to the unfortunate. Between Bene-
cha and Sacramento on the l7th ult, the country
was one vast sheet Of water, varying from six
inches to ten feet deep. The banks of the river
were lined with cattle and horses standing up
TO their bellies in water, their backs bumped
up, and believing pilcousy as they looked star
walton in the face. No help can reach them
The sheep are all dead.
Relief boats were sent out in every direction
and large numbers OF people have been brought
tn San Francisco, the women and children hall
dressed, all suffering severely People We're
found in trees, who had had nothing to eat for
two days. All over the plains are 10 be found
mounds built by the Indians, and on these eeva-
tons were gathered families and cattle waiting
for relief. Most ptitul stories are told of the
suffering endured by all classes of people. And
get the rains were not over, and the spring
floods, occasioned by the melting Of the SHOWS
in the mountains, are yet to come. This IS a
hard winter for California.

SECRETARY SrANroS.-'' Perley," the Wash
ington correspondence OF the Boston Jonrnal, thus
writes of Secretary Stanton and the energy that
is now bringing back life to the nation:
1t is very evident that The PEOPLE of these
United States are well pleased with the earnest
ness Of purpose and manly action Of Secretary
Stanton, whose energetic execution Of the Pres
dent's plans has already placed new spinal
column in the back of our every soldier and
sailor Others may have sought to follow mon
archical precedents, and have followed Il crooked
policy, bouo1 up IN red tape, initiating the Sc
cret service despotisn Of Europe and OCCASION

startling prophecy Of peace never fulfilled. But
Secretary Stanton has set his face against all
this, as Oliver Cromwell did his against the in

the First, and his 8 orders" have the real Puri-
sanea rng while th they INSPIRE our troops to to

sion with their Yankee bayonets.

February,

Ihear the signals of the spring
Through the long lingering winter hours;
The autter Of the robins wing
The far. faint footsteps Of the flowers.
!, hat though no blade o grass IS gresn'
And whitest robes The earth enfold
know the snow-drop, all unseen.
Is pushing upward through the mould;
Tha. in the hoary, silent trees,
There wakes pulse of freshenng life,
To quicken till the summer breeze
Shall toss their leaves in playful strife
That to the orange groves the blrc
Sings even now his sweet farewell,
And soon, in northern forests heard,
Once more his tale of love shall tell
The icc-hound streams ere long shall glide,
Eager to meet the watin! sea,
And mirrored in the sparkling tide,
The SKINNER stars once more shall be.
Still fall. The snow ; but NATURES heart
Throbs loudly, struggling to be free,
Nor shall stern winters utmost art
Avail to thwar, her destiny.
A milton waits oh earth, dixie ihee,l
With beating heart, and anxious gaze,
Till wars wild winter cease to be,
and peace Shall bring her summer days.
Nor earth nor nation waits in vain -
The months their gracious changes bring
And through the SHOWS and win Try rain
hear the signals OF the spring. Il. N. l..

frequent visitor at the Presidents house and a
favored gallant of Mrs. Lincoln. The most
charitable construction to be put upon all this
conduct, which is SO foreign to the virtue and
good name, and reputation which ought to
dwell in the household of the Chief Magistrate
of the nation, is that Mrs. Lincoln is not equal
to her place, has not steadincss and stability of
character sufficient to keep her from being made
the weak dupe Of lying hattery and cunning in
trisue, and so is made, by the delusive homage
and honed compliments of practised yillainy, to
debase herself 10 the low level of associations
that are offensive and disgusting to all other de-
cent people. The recent festivities at the White
House, while the nation was trembling on the
brink OF destruction, were in bad taste enough
existence. But the knowledge that she who ough
to be the model and pattern of true woman
hood
The stately flower of female fortitude,
Of perfect wifehood and pure lowhead'
was making the house Of the Chief Magistrate a
rendezvous OF those who had lost caste aud char
acter elsewhere, is infinitely worse. If there is
no other remedy for This silly weakness, Or will
iul perversity Of Mrs. Lincoln, the Press ought
to reflect upon her conduct the Judgment Of an
indignant people, and compel, Ivy their united
voice, the publication Of the presidential man
sion from the offensive and loa,hsome presence
of such wretchos as Wiko1f and Sckles. 1t may
not be possible to change Mrs. Lincoln's dispo
stion, habits fancies, or tastes, but it is posi-
bic that the President should be made acquaint-
ed with the wish of the people that the lepers Of
society should not be the pets of the White
House.

FUNNY STAMPEDE OF REBELS The following
amusing account is given Of the fight and flight
Of body of rebels at Danyille, Tennessee, at
the SOUND Of shell from one of our gunbolts ::
1.-The bridge at Danvlllc had been for some
time guarded by a company Of infantry ard II
body of cavalry numbering some 10 or 80 mem
bers. The Dunbar, u rebel transport was lying
at Danvile, but started off as the gunboats came
within sight below The cavalry drew up in
line on the shore to oppose the passage Of the
gunboats, and by direction of their officer made
ready their pieces. About then the gunboats
were hundred yards or so below the cavalry,
and just about as the captain of the horsemen
had got as far as ready aim y the forward gun
boat let fly an 8-inch shell after the flying Dun
bar. The heavy missile, with a shrek like a
fend, passed close in front of the valorous SOL
diers as they were on the point of pulling trig-
ger; the next instant every man Of them was
flying through the woods as though chased by
the devil, the brave captain himself CALAMITY
leading far in the advance. The infantry never
stopped to pack up, but followed pell NELL after
the cavalry, and not a solitary specimen of either
has been seen within long miles of that vicinity
since. Evidently the officer was not an old SOL
der. or he would neither have attempted to op
pose cavalry to gunboats. nor incontinenlly run
away upon hearing the peculiar although not
pleasant music of she'll"

COMMODORE FooTE IN THE UIP1r.-Commo-
dore Foote, who captured Fort Henry the other
day with such glorious daring, is pious as we'll
as brave. On the Sunday after the victory, he
filled a Presbyterian pulpit in Cairo, as the fol,
lowing paragraph relates, from a letter dated at
Cairo IN Monday, the 10th:
The congregation of the Presbyterian
Church, Yesterday morning, were disappointed
at the non-appearance of their pastor After
waiting half an hour for his arrival, Commo-
dore Fooe was induced to conduct the service
lie seemed to be as much at home in the pulpit
as he was on the Cincinnati during the bonn
bafdment, for he extemporized an excellent
practical discourse from the text, Let not your
hearts be troubled ye believe in God, believe
also in me- The auditors were much affected
at hearing the voice from which 50 lately rang
out the word of command,
I" In worst extremes, and on the peril Jus edge

for the victory, in earnest invocation for future

Of the duties which dcvolve upon us"
