FLIGHT OF THE REBELS.

The Jeff. Thompson, the Geneal Bragg,
and the Sumter, and the Van Dorm were
the only vessels of the rebel feet remain
ing, and these were so frequently struck,
and saw so little opportunity of escaping
the fate Of their companions, that they
turned their heads asore, and soon reached
the Arkansas side, when officers crew
leaped off and ran through the woods, our
boats shelling them as before. A she'll
had exploded on the Thompson, and SET
her on fire. but as it was thought to be
extinguisAed the fotilla followed the 9th
er vessels, but not swiftly enoug n to pre-
vent the escape of the crew, because the
rebel ships were lighter and of superior
fieetness.
The General Bragg was enabled to
reach the Arkansas shore about halt a
mile below the Thompson, and of her
crew sprang on terra frma, flying in great
confusion and terror like flock of fright
ened sheep before pack of ravenous
wolves. The Bragg was also set on fire
by shell, and would have been destroy
ed, had not Lieut.. Bishop of the Benton
gone on board ip a tug and extingulshed
the flames.
The Sumter followed the example of
her predecessors, and as soon as she
touched the consecrated earth of the
Southern Greece (Arkansas), her crew
dispersed with a rapidity that was not
checked by the shells we sent after them.
The fiotilla was now near Presidents Is
land, and had sunk, disabled or placed
hors de combat every one of the enemy's
feet except the Van Dorm, which was still
hurTying down the river under full pres
sure of steam.
The Union gunboats still fired at the
Van Dorm, and the Cairo and Carondelet,
two of the fastest of the feet, pursued her
| mile further than their companions but
soon returned, despairing of ever over
taking her.
GRAND EXPLOSION OF THE JEFF. THoMP-
SON.
The fotilla steamed up the Mississippi
again, and it arrived opposite the spot
| where the JEFF. Thompson was, the hostile
| craft was discovered to be all ablaze.-
The fire, supposed to be extinguished,
had burst out anew, and thus there was
| no possibility of saving her. The gun
boat presented a magnificent spectacle,
with the flames running like crimson SER
penis all over her, and licking the water
with their fiery tongues as if they were
furnishing of thirst. The flames cracked

Benton, Louisville, and the other three
National gun boats increased their fire,
striking the enemy frequently at various
points, and leaving no doubt as to its issue
of the combat. The flagship now obtain
ed excellent range of the General Lowell,
and Capt w. L. Phelps himself directed
50-pound rifed Parrot at the General
Lowell, striking the vessel aft above her
water line, and tearing a great hole in
her, through which the water rushed like
a torrent. She began to sink at once,
giving few of the officers and crew time to
save themselves. In less than four min
utes the vessel had sunk in IS feet OF
water and passed entirely out of sight.
| MAGNANIMITY OF THE UNoNIRTs.
Some of the enemy went down with the
Lowell, but about fifty of the crew leaped
into the river, and was struggling in the
water, when the Benton's cutter arrived
on the spot in advance of several other
cutters from the fotilla, and just in time
to see the chimneys of the hostile gun
boat disappear beneath the water. A
number OF the rebels had already begun
to swim for the shore, but the cutter Of
the flagship made every effort, even at
much risk of the brave fellows in it, to
preserve the unfortunate wretches in the
river. Some six or seven of the enemy
were pulled up, but the current was SC
strong that large number were carried

THE INDIAN WAR.-The present state of
the war in the North West is thus described
by correspondent of the Maine Farmer, writ
ing from Fort Randall, Dacotah Territory,
Nov. %:
Doubtless you have long since heard of the
termination of the war in Minnesota, but the
Indian war is far from being ended it is mere
ly transferred from the border settlements of
Minnesota to the Upper Missouri. The whole
OF the Sioux Nation, with the exception OF
the Yanktons, who are located on reserve
across the river from this place. are known to
be hostile. Persons returning from the Sal
mon River gold region have been repeatedly
attacked by the savages. The last party which
arrived from there were taken prisoners by
them, and were only saved from death by the
intercession ola squaw who was the wife of one
of the miners. As it was, they were robbed of
everything except their boat (of which the In
dians could make no use) and allowed to con-
tinue on their way. They came near dying of
hunger, and arrived here in destitute condi-
ton. They report that the Swantee" bands
who escaped from Minnesota are on the Mis-
souri,, two or three hundred miles above here
and have several women and children prison.
ers in their camp, and their account of the
treatment and condition of these captives beg
gars description. They are compelled to do
all the drudgery of the camp, and loaded like
beasts of burden to keep up with the monster
savages when on the march.

sVThe debate in the Mechanics Associa-

lamation, was brought to a close last evening.
1t was supported by Messrs. G. l.. Bailey, s.
Patten, S. l.. Carleton and n. A. Foster, and
opposed by Messrs. j. 7. Emery, S. A. Nash and
c. p. Kimball. Mr.. Foster made the closing
speech. After he had got through, Mrs. J. p.
Thurston rose and requested the privilege of
speaking, but the presiding officer stated that
the rules of the Association forbade any one
not member from taking any part in the de-
bate. The question was then taken upon the
adoption of the resolution, and it was carried
by vote of IA to 8.

Mr.. SCENARIOS INTERPRETATION OF THE
DEMOCRATIC Misunderstanding Seward,
writing to minister Adams at London, Nov.
10th, in order to give him the cue to the prop
er explanation of the democratic victories in
the recent elections, says:
1t is not necessary tor the information of our
representatives abroad that | should descend
into any examination of the relative princi-
Piles or policies of the two parties. 1t will SUI
flee to say that while there may be men of
doubtful political wisdom and virtue in each
party, and while there may be differences of
opinion between the two parties as to the
measures best calculated to preserve the I'm
ion and restore its authority, yet it is not to
be inferred that either party, or any consider
able portion Of the people of the loyal States,
is disposed to accept disunion under any cir
cumstances, or upon any terms. 1t is rather
to be understood that the people have become
so confident of the stability of the Union that
partizan combinations are resuming their sway
here, as they do in such cases in all free coun-
tries. In this country, especially, it is a habit
not only entirely consistent with the constitu-
ton, but even essential to its stability, to re-
gard the administration at any time existing
as distinct and separable from the government
itself, and to canvass the proceedings of the
one without the thought of dsloyalty to the
other We might possibly have had quicker
success in suppressing the instruction il this
habit could have rested little longer in abey-
ance; but, on the other hand, we are under
obligations TO save not only the integrity or
unity of the country, but also its inestimable
and precious constitution. No one can safely
say that the resumption ofthe previous popular
habit does not tend to this last and most i'm
portant consummation, if at the same time, as
we confidently expect, the Union itself shall
be saved

% Slavery is right or it is wrong. 1t is in
violation OF, or it is in harmony with the nat
ural laws. 1t rests upon usurpation, or on
the right of one man 10 own another. The
fathers of the republic believed it TO be wrong /:
to be in violation of natural laws: to rest only
upon usurpation. The abolitionist, believing
the same thing, insists that the wrong should
end; that natural laws should be harmonized
with and not violated; that usurpation is a
sin, and all that flows from it necessarily par
takes of sin. Were the fathers right or were
they wrong in their opinions? The secession
lists say they were wrong; we of the LOYAL
States say they were right. If fright, then are
not the aboitionists right in their deductions !?
And is it possible that the preaching of
righteous truth should be the cause of a wick
Gu rebellion? Is it not, rather, true that the
rebellion is the result of slavery?

the Missouri State Guards Col. Adams had
made successful expedition into Missouri

except to surrender the negroes, which he re-
fused. Vaughan having force of about 1000
men, with artillery, and Adams only $50, the
latter had no choice but compliance, and has
been sent to st. Louis for trial on the 18th

SY- For about eighty years the Union has
existed and fomished beyond example, under
the Constitution as the fathers made it. Then
negro slavery was universal in all the States,
recognized right. Subsequently it died out
in the northern States as Improbable. Vir-
ginia gave territory to the United States, out
of which five great free States have been crea-
ted. The growth of the west and the acquisi-
ton of California have added to the prepon-
derance of the free over the slave States. All
this under the old Constitution. This is his
tory.-IArgus.
And what does this prove? That Adolf
tionism caused the war, says the above paper!
Does it not rather prove, what every inteli-
gent student of history knows, that "the faith
ers" who made the Constitution, looked upon
slavery as a moral, social and political evil.
temporary in its influence and brief in its ex-
istence? Does it not show that Virginia,
saveholding as she was, did not wish to plant
the curse beyond the Ohio, and was careful, in
ceding the Northwest Territory to the Union,
to provide that its virgin soil should never be
trod by the foot of slave? What, then, has
wrought the change in the spirit other dream
and now makes her clank the chains of slav-
cry and swear they shall be her music forever?
What but the cotton gin, that made cotton
culture profitable, and thus stimulated the av-
erice of those who saw a way opened in which
to coin gold from the sweat and blood of the
African? Virginia, from being the home of
Washington and Jefferson, and from cherish
ing anti-slavery principles, came to be the
home of such as Henry A. Wise and Roger A.
Pryor, and exchanging her anti-slavery for the
lust of gain, commenced to breed human cat
tie for the rice swamps and other plantations
of the South Instead of proving, as the Ar
gus claims, that Abolitionism has caused the
rebellion, the above historical facts-imper-
fectly stated-show conclusively how Virgin
ia and the South have deteriorated, and how
shamefully they are disgracing their better and
early history; ard the Argus seems willing to
lie down in the filth with them, and to lap up
their corruptions.
