the approach of our forces and evacuated
the place. The steamer Nashville, I'M

ANOTHER TRAIToR-Senator DooLITTLE,
of Wisconsin, threw quite a bombshell
into the republican ranks week ago by
making strong speech against the abolI-
ton pet measure to abolish slavery in the
District of Columbia He also came out
boldly against the sweeping emancipation
plans of the radicals Of his party. On this
point he said:
"If, 10y one sweeping act of Congress,
we declare the immediate unconditional
emancipation of all the slaves in all the
States, to remain forever within the States
against the will of the people in those
States, we shall make true every prophecy
of our enemies against US, and make false
the pledges we made in the canvass of
1860, on which we won the victory, and
by which alone we brought this admins
tration into power. This course would
make US appear to be false and hypocriti-
cal before God and man. For one | will
not consent to do it. ! say to my friends
here, there is no republican on this floor
who took part in the canvass of 1860 who
did not hundred times over declare that
we had neither the constitutional power
nor the purpose to interfere with slavery
within the States How then can we now
advocate doctrine in violation Of every
pledge we then gave, and on which We
brought this administration into power
Shall we now make true every charge of
our enemies against us, charges which we
denounced as false and Infamous? Shall
we make them true instead of false pro-
phets by our actions now

What Shall be Done with the African :

Illinois and Indiana have already adop-
ted constitutional provisions excluding me-
groes from their soil Iowa is about to
adopt similar prohibition. A bill has
been introduced In the Senate of Pcnnsyl-
vania and its passage is being vigorously
urged to prohibit the future immigration
eff negroes into that state. The legislature
of Ohio, at its present session is besieged
by petitions for similar law; and while
such movements are thus extending and
gaining strength in the free states, it IS
we'll known that the immigration of free
negroes is prohibited by about all the slave
states.
What is the Interpretation Of the rapid
appearance of this species of legislation
1t is not the result of party feeling, for It
emanates from persons and regions of diff:
ferent political bias 1t can only be attri-
buted to the silent working of the law of
races, which legislation can accelerate but
not effectively impede. AS population be-
comes more redundant the work will be
ouickened, until throughout the breadth
of this land there will be found no longer
a resting place for the poor African, save
il, a state of bondage.
Yet in the face Of this tendency-this
"manifest destiny"-there is numerous
party in these northern states so ardently
bent on consigning to this sad fate four
more millions of Africans, that they open
ly declare their preference of the destruc-
ton of this government to the failure OF
their scheme Such is the cruel wicked.
ness of abolitionism.
The presence of the colored people in
this country involves questions of fearful
import. In the face of the rapid tendency
of legislation in the direction to which we
have alluded, any scheme of emancipation
unconnected with plan for the co exten'
siye deportation and, to some extent, fu
ture care Of the negro, would seem the es
sence rot only of madness, but cruelty.

CAIRO AND ISLAND No. 10.

Carlo still presents the same busy, bust
ling scene Of moving troop and supplies
down the Mississippi and up the Cumber-
land and Tennessee.
Things at Island No 10 remain about in
stat, quo. Our mortar boats continue to
drop a shell about once an hour into the
enemys works to keep him awake, but
seem to effect very little, while his bat
teries seldom deign reply. Gen. Pope
appears to have done good work in
lining the shore below the Island with
batteries, so that the rebels can neither
move their transports up or down the
river. The river is rising SO rapidly that
some of the heaviest batteries on the
island will soon be under water. The only
hope of taking the island appears to lie in
Gen. POpe's being able to convey his land
forces across to the Kentucky shore, SO
as to take the rebel works in the rear
but being below the island, it is impossibls
to get transports to him to enable him to
do this

Missouri AND Arkansas.

Missouri is still infested with rowing
guerilla bands, who keep the people in
constant terror. In some of the interior
counties the farmers on account of them,
are afraid to put in crops. Gen. Halleck
is adopting stringent measures to suppress
the nuisance.
Gen. Curtis on account of the supplies
Of forage and provisions becoming sx-
hausted, has moved Is miles northward
from the late battle ground, to Cross Tim
bers, where he has been joined by large
relnforcements from Rolla and Kansas.
There are some indications that the rebels
have again rallied in Boston Mountains,
and intend to venture another attack
upon Curtis.

Wendell Phillips.

The reason why this foulmouthed dis
unonist and traitor is not sent to Fort
Lafayette is said to be, because the Pref
dent is DESTROYS rather to quiet than excite
the active hostility of the Northern dis
unionists, until those OF the South can be
mastered. With so formidable an enemy
in front, he breads another enemy equally
desperate and malignant, in the rear. II
such are the craven views Of the President,
the only way to deal with Phillips and his
gang is, on every occasion when they
make their appearance in public, to apply
to them the Cincinnati sedative. What
that means, is explained by the follow
ing telegraph despatch:

NEWSPAPER MEN ARREsTED.-1t appears
Secretary Stanton on Monday ordered the
arrest of quitea batch Of newspaper editors
and publishers in New York and Boston,
for giving publicity to forbidden inforna-
ton, IN eontravention Of the following Ar.

ART. 81. WhosOever shall be convicted
of holding correspondence with, or giving
intelligence to, the enemy, either directlv
or indirectly, shall suffer death, or such
other punishment as shall be ordered by
the sentence of a court martial.
An order to suspend the publication of
the papers accompanied the order to arrest
the publishers. 1t appears By later des-

question having made explanations and an
apology to Secretary Stanton, he conclud-
ed TO foTego their arrest for the present.
