The Virtue that Covereth All sins.

When the House of Representatives was called
upon 10 vote OH one of the most outrageous OF
all the frauds perpetrated on the Government the
question was submitted in the TORN of the fol-
lowing resolution:
"Resoiued, That the Secretary of the Treas
ury be requested to adjust the claim against yhe
Government for the five thousand Hall carbies,
purchased through Simon Stevens, ESQ, BIZ Gen.
John C.. Fremont, on the 9th day OF August,
1861, and afterwards delivered at the United
States Arsenal at the city Of ST. Louis, on ihe
basis OF sale of such arms to the Government
at SIP each, rejecting all other demands against
the Government on account OF the purchase of
said arms

fraud was glarng, and all admitted IT, The he

olution came before the House Mr. Stevens of
Pennsylvania moved to amend it by striking out

order to negative the palpable fact that Fremont
was party to the contract. He subsequently
Withdrew the motion, and moved to substitute Tor

We are told repeatedly by the Republican press
that all the sympathy the South gets in this re-
bellion is expressed by Democrats. Very likely.
1t Is because Abollionists hate the South that
the war was innaugurated. 1t is for the same
reason, that they desire, not n union with the
South, but separation. The whole trouble was
brought upon the country simply because il was

CoTToN FOR THE MILLIoN.-The proc
lamation of the President opening the
ports Of Beaufort, Port Royal and New
Orleans, TO the commerce of the world,
inaugurates another era in the history Of
the war welcome to the commercial world,
and displaying the foresightcd wisdom of
our Chief Magistrate.
England can, after the LIST of June, lade
her vessels with cotton, honorably, and
without let or hindrance from our vessels
of war, provided, always, that the blind,
infatuated southrons do not touch the
torch to the wealth of their plantations,
lest somebody should reap advantage
thereby, who is rot sympathizer with
rebellion. But we fancy yankeedom will
not allow our trans Atlantic cousins to
have all the benefits of trade that has cost
US so much blood and treasure to reach
and make available. But a few days will
now pass, we opine, before our coast will
again be whitened with the sails of COM
merce, and the leading journals of Bos-
ton, New York and Philadelphia chroni-
Gle the daily arrivals of ships from the
South laden with cotton, rice, sugar, mo-
lasses, &c, as in days long past, and the
commercial and manufacturing world be-
Gin again to move onward as in the palmy
days of our country's prosperity.
Can England or France find aught now
to condemn in the policy of the President
to them ward What more can they rea-
sonably demand, on our behalf, than free
access to southern ports and a trade I'M
trammeled, so far as the present condition
of our country will pormitl What cause
of interference now exists?

THE PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION
The President has issued proclamation
in which he puts very effectual quietus
upon the abolition manifesto of General
Hunter. Not only was any such move
ment unknown to and unanticipated by
the government, but the President ex-
pressly declares that all these questions
Of civil policy he reserves to himself, and
delegates power to no military command
or in the field to fix that policy for him
self. The resolution sent to Congress for
cooperation with the States in gradual
emancipation, is indicated rs the basis Of
the intended policy of the government.
simultaneously with this, orders are
doubtless forwarded for the modification
OF Hunters proclamation, if not for his
recall, This action of Mr.. Lincoln will
be more of damper on the abolitionists
than his course with Fremont.

NORTH CARoLINA.-The report in yes
terday's afternoon dispatches that North
Carolina has virtually returned 10 the I'M
ion is of singular Importance. This is a
/" fire in the rear" for which the rebels
can be lily prepared. North Carolina,
Tennessee and Western Virginia loyal, the
army of Joe Johnston will be completely
isolated, surrounded on all sides by hos
tile population. The rebellion is now a
failing cause, and the detection of large
masses from it must spread CONSERVATION
and despair among its remaining support
ers. Besides, if the news is true, the
Federal armies will have complete COM
mand of the State. They will cut off all
communication with the South, and so
shut the Virginia rebels from their sup
plies. The enemy can be cooped up in
the vicinity Of Richmond and starved in
to submission AZ the leisure of the Union
Generals.
We have no doubt that this example Of
North Carolina will be followed by other
States, especially if the President does,
as it is reported in the same dispatches
hO intends to do, define boldly in paper
to Congress his single determination to
adhere TO conservative policy.

The President has decided TO modify
General Hunters proclamation emancipa-
ting the slaves in South Carolina, Georgia
and Florida.
A dispatch from the feet at Fort
Wright, says that deserters state that the
rebel flotilla is reinforced by the arrival
Of a new ram called Gen. Price, and the
iron-clad gunboat Arkansas, from Mem
phis.
BY the Memphis papers of the 18th
inst, we learn that Pensacola was evacu-
ated on the 18th, and that Federal fleet
had demanded the surrender of Mobile.
The gunboats Galena, Monitor, Manga
tuck and Port Royal have been repulsed
from fort Darling, seven miles below
Richmond. The fort is situated on bluff,
200 feet high, and the river is temporari
ly closed by sunken vessels, among which
are reported to be the Yorktown and
jamestown. The Monitor could not eIe-
vate her guns to reach the bluff, which
rendered her useless. After an action of
four hours, the feet finding it impossible
to silence the battery on the bluff, with
drew. Our loss was thirteen killed and
eleven wounded.
The advanced guard Of our forces on
the main road TO Richmond, Via Bottom
Bridge, drove the enemy across Chicka.
hominy River, on Saturday morning.
Our troops on arriving Mt the bridge
which is fifteen miles from Richmond
found it on fire. Our advance from this
point must DO slow as the country is low
and marshy.
The latest advices from General Curtis
states that he is between Searcy and Lit
tie Rock, Ark, marching rapidly on the
capital. Gov. Rector called on the mill
tia and people to come out. Large mum
bers had applied to Gen. Curtis for pro
lection. They desire TO come under the

No rebel troops were found.
News from North Carolina states that
