Three Hundred Thousand Federal
Troops on the 'tSRcred Soil"
The following editorial article from the
New York Commercial 4Advsrtiser contains
some interesting and significant state.

The Port Royal Cotton.

The comparatively moderate amount of
confscated South Carolina cotton arriv-
ing at this port is really no indication of
the extent Of the work of picking or Of
the quantity yet to be gathered. 1t is
true that much of the cotton which was
grown very near the large rivers and
water-courses in the vicinity of Port
Royal and not burned by the rebels, has
been brought forward but a very small
proportion of the whole amount on the
islands has yet been brought to Hilton
Head for shipment to this port.
The work of gathering goes steadily
on; large quantities have been collected
on the inland plantations, and ginning is
carried on to considerable extent. The
number of eontrabands engaged in the
work is increasing and the chief difficulty
at present is want of transportation fa-
ciltics
When the federal forces landed at Ill
ton Head all the horses, oxen, carts and
conyeyanccs of all kinds were taken pos
session of and applied to the uses Of the
Quartermastcr's department. As our
troops penetrated to the adjacent islands
and took possession of the main land, the
same process was continued, and these
means of transportation have been re-
tanned for the uses of the army.
The cotton now coming from Port
Royal is carried on the shoulders of the
negroes to the banks of the streams navi-
gable for steamers Of heavy draught, and
it is noteworthy that, although the bulk
of the cotton is inland or on the banks
of shallow streams, the only vessel Of any
considerable size employed in the trans
portation service is the Mayhower, an old
ferry-boat drawing nearly ten feet Of
water
Under these circumstances the business
of taking the cotton from the platation is
exceedingly slow and difficult, if not i'll
many cases impossible Of accomplishment,
except when it is carried for miles by the
negrocs-a work for which the compare
lively small force of the contrabands is
entirely inadequate. Besides, the May
flower cannot approach very near the
banks of the rivers, and the cotton in
such cases Is necessarily got on board by
the use of small boats, which is a tedious
operation.
What is required for this work moro
than anything else is a number of fiat
bottomed boats, drawing eighteen inches
or two feet of water. and to be loaded
from carts or wagons adapted to the con-
ycyance Of large loads.

Lanes Programme.

.At Chicago, on "Wednesday evening
last, General James II. Lane received an
enthusiastic welcome from the citizens,
and made Il characteristic speech, as fol-
lows:
" 1t is no time for talking now, but for
action. We haze consumed eight months
in inactivity, have wasted three hundred
millions of dollars aud sacrificed twenty
five thousand lives, and turned this coun-
try UPSIDE down in our insane eudeayorH
to put down this internal rebellion and
save slavery. tell you it can't be done,
and the government has come to that
Let me tell You, cou,identI-
ally, that on Monday last they opened Il
new set Of books and came to the conclu-
sion that if the Union can't be saved and
slavery saved, then down goes slavery
The rebels have either got to sabmlt, to
die or to run away. tell you the time
has come when play must stop. The
rebels must submit or he sent down forth
with to that he'll already yawnins to re-
cGive them.
This desirable consumma;ien was
effected BY compromise. The radical
men agreed that the conservative men
should carry on the war according to
their notions for eight months, provided
they were allowed the next eight. The
time is up for the conservatives, and they
now hand the war and its conduct over tC
the radicals, and every conservative mar
should now extend the same encourage
ment and support Which we gave to the"
in the prosecution of their method.
There are in the South 6S0,o0t

fed and clothed the rebel army, and have
as good as fought upon their side. GOV

tend protection to them, as it does the
Indians, aud send superntcndents and
governors among them and pay them

competition between black and white la
bor." He believed, whether the rebels
liked the idea or not, that the blacks at
no distant day would have possession of
the Gulf country, to which they were ac-
elimated and physically conditioned. He
proposed to establish free state govern
ments as he went along and he could
promise his hearers that either he or the
rebels would be cleaned out.

Correspondence.


Auctsr,. Jan. 2S, ls62.
Mn. EDITOR 1t is stcreo'ypei conpli-
ment, generally apl lied to the Legislature Of
the time being, that 1t exccls in abiity any
of its preIccessors idea, without doubt,
more complimentary than truthful, IN It's af-
rlication to some Legislatures of which |
have had knowledge. Whoever has been 50
verdant as to be,icvc that such assenblages
have usually combined all the wisdom, worth
and talent OF the state, have been indeed sadly
benighted and mistaken How individual,
noisy, lazy. reckless aud ignorant politicians,
mingled and masscl in prcponderatins mum
bers, with u few deceut. industrious and quiet
citizens, together with, a more limited mum
Der of men of mark and ability, can consti-
tutc body Of fit conservators Of the welfare
and policy of the commonwealth, is indeed
problem. But in regard to the Legislature
now in session, it seems by uniform consent
to be conceded that 1t is in every desirable
qualification, a fit assemblage with which to
entrust the vital interests Of the State at
this eventfd day of its history. 1t would
appear that the same kind Providence which
has rescued our nation thus Ear from the per-
ilous brink OF destruction, at the hands OF
traitors, has remembered our State as a con-
stituent part Of it.
The unanimity Of the Legislature in its
organization and action thus far. is a subject
af general remark and commendation, and
Of hopeful regard, in view of the magnitude
of the interests at present under cOnsidera-
tion, uniting in action as it does, for the
common welfare, the most discordant mater
ial, the odds and ends Of political factions
and PARTIES, indicating the approach at
least Of the day when
"The steer and lion at one crib shall meet
And harmless serpelts liek the Pilgrims ieet."
Thus far tie sharp,st collisions in debate
have occurred between members of the late
democratic party, who are seemingly quite
s,licite u, that proper appreci .tion of their
loyalty and patriotism may obtain with
constituency aud the people. Whatever oil
doubt in this matter has found expression,
has been raised by themselves in regard to
each otter, bringing to remembrance rel
erence to the old song, to certain class, that,
" about honesty often fall out" The Re
publicaus tacitly at least, oonoede to them

Two Orders of Citizens.

While the nation is rightly indignant
at the spectacle Of selfish contractors and
government agents taking advantage of
the caamities and urgent necessities of
their country to enrich themselves by eX-
orbitant charges and profits, it remembers
with gratitude another class Of men and
women, who are giving freely and without
charge their lives, their talents and their
experience to the service of the Union
and its defenders. The Washington cor
respondent of . morning Journal states
that General Wadsworth and Miss Dix
are serving the government without re-
ceiying cent of money in return. Gen.
Waasworth was, when the war broke out,
Il private gentleman, citizen OF this
state, man of independent fortune. He
not only contributed Of his means to the
equipment Of regiments, but went on to
Washington and offered himself as aid
de-camp to Gen. Mcdowell. His SER
vices in this capacity before and during
the battle of Bull Run were most valua
bic, and his gaIantry and devotion placed
him among the few who were mentioned
in the report Of the battle. Since then
he has given his time and energies to the
country refusing to receive wages from
the already sufficiently burdcnei treasury.
1t may be said that he can afford to
serve without pay. True; and so can
those agents and commissioners of the
government who have taken immense
sums for services which, had they been
true patriots, they would have performed,
if not without reward, then for such mod
crate compensation rs Congress and tho
people would willingly sec paid. Gen.
Wadsworth and Miss Dix take pride in
serving the nation absolutely without re-
ward. Miss Dix even refuses the use of
carriage at government expense, and
the spirit which leads to this refusal is
most honorable. She is giving her time,
hcath and the experience of years in
hospitals, free, for the benefit Of the ma
ton. So of the Rev. Doctor Bellows,
whose labors on the Sanitary Commiss-
ion, given without thought of fee or re-
ward, are in some respects of vastly
greater Importance to the cause Of the
Union, as they have certainly been far
more arduous, than work for which others
have eontcntedly poeketed tens of thous-
ands of dollars.
There are many who, in less conspicu-
Gus ways than these, are likewise serving
the nation without thought or desire of
reward men and women who give money,
and time and labor, proud that they may
contribute to the preservation of the ma
tion's life Thus there are, besides the
volunteers under arms, two other armies
in the held-the army of shameless ex-
tortioners, whose wealth, wrung from a
people in distress, will be reproach to
them wherever their names are known |;
and another and far more numerous array
of true patriots, who give freely whatever
they have, and ask no reward These,
too, will be known and remember d.

what they are scarcely willing to accord
to each other, and to not seemingly
partake of the jealousies these quondam
friends indulge in towards each other, but ad-
nit them all to a reasonable degree of their
confidence. Some of these Union men take
frequent occasion to diselaim affinity, or at
least full sympathy with the Republican par
ty, reminding one very torcibly of the jubi-
liant fellow, who, after the libations of an
old fashioned general muster, finding bis legs
refuse their office, was constrained to accept
the offer of ride home behind the sad lie Of
fellow townsman for whom he felt no par
tcular esteem, and improved the opportuni-
ty, while clinglng to his rescuer, to specify
distinctly the existing relation between them
by remarkins-" do not lde with you be-
cause | love you; it is only from pure neces-
aty."
That such men as Messrs. Smart Scwall 4,
Carey, &c. should be actively advocating
correct and sound principles in morals and
political economy is, to many who have in

The New Secretary of War.

We find the following interesting STATE
mcnt in the St. Louis Republican of the
20th inst, and have reason to believe that
! it is accurate -
a wear ago, when General Cass-
grievcd and iudignant-left Mr.. Buchan-
ans Cabinet, Mr.. Attorncy-General Black
was transferred to the portfolio OF State,
and Mr.. Stanton, then absent from Wash
ington, was fixed upon as Attorney-Gen-
eral. The same ght he arrived at late
hour, and learned from his family of his
appointment. Knowing the character OF
the bold, bad men then in the ascendancy
in the Cabinet, he determined at once to
decline; but when, the next day, he an
nounccd his resolution at the White House
the entreaties of the distressed and help
less President, aud the arguments of Mr..
Black, prevailed upon him to accept.
At the first meeting of the Cabinet
which he attended, the condition Of the
seeded States aud the course to be pur-
sued with the garrison at Fort sumter
were discussed. Floyd and Thompson
dwelling upon the irritation of the South
ern heart and the folly Of continuing a
useless garrison to increase the irritation,
No one formally proposed any course OF
action, but the desi gus of the consplrators
were plain to the new Attorncy-General.
He went home troubled He had intend
ed, coming in at so late a day, to remain
a quiet member of this discordant coun-
ell But it was not in his nature to sit
quiet longer under such uttcranccs.
The next meeting was a long and stormy
one. Mr.. Holt, feebly seconded by the
President, urging the immediate reinforce
mcnt of Sumter, while Thompson, Floyd
and Thomas contcnled that a quasl-treaty
had been made by the officers Of the gov
ernment with the leaders Of the rebellion,
to offer no resistance to their violations OF
law and seizures Of government property.
Floyd especially bIa1cd with Indignation
at what he, termed the violation OF hon
or At last Mr.. Thompson formally
moved that an imperative order be issued
to Major Anderson to retire from Sumter
to Fort Moultrie-abandonin Sumter to
the enemy and proceeding to post where
he must at once surrender.
Stanton could sit still no longer, and
rising, he said, with all the earnestncss
that could be expressed in his bold and
