THERE are some things in tue news from
Richmond this morning quite gratifying
1t affords uudOubted assurance of n people
there held in bondage by rebel terrorism,
who long for the advance of the armies
that are to relieve them. The ssmeae, meme,
teksl, uPharsn" is written on their walls
under cover of night. Incorruptible pa
triots who have endured the rufianism and
brutality of JEFF. Davis reign of terror for
year past, are e1horting one another by
the only means left them, to swatch and
wait!" for they believe the day of their de-
liverauce is at hand.
That old Spartan, John Minor Bolts,
has at last been arrested and thrown into
prison. He has long been virtually pris.
ouer on his own farm, and only for refus-
ing to be II traitor to his country, is cast into
vile Richmond prison. Martial Law, too,
is being proclaimed in the Southern cities,
and the newspapers advise the summary
execution of the Union "conspirators. -
Well, there is a time for all things, Solomon

rebels to hang now, but it will be their
time to be hung after awhile-sOme of them
at least; and they had better have a care
how they play with such atwO-edged sword
as that.
Nothing could better exhibit the weak.
ness of the rebel dynasty than all this
The terror and apprehension that impels
them to such resorts, show how little con.
fdence they have in their own profession.
of unity; and they read danger in the
face of every citizen who hangs back in
the reasonable work. This compression
must have its rebound. 1t cannot crush
the Union men, for they are schooling
their souls to patience and waiting and
watching in full faith for the eagles of the
Republic. They will not have long &c
wait. Certainly deliverauce will come tc
them, at faFthest, with the early blucbird.
and showers of April.

one hundred to one hundred and thirty
thousand men IN Tennessee. They have
yet to be met, and probably in posi- tons
of great natural strength. TIE latest in
telligeuce reports the rebels as in force at
Nurfreesboro, the capital of Ruther-
ford county, about twenty-four miles
southeast of Nashville. and situated on
the Nashville and Chattanooga railroad. -
The town occupies a commanding posi-.
ton on a branch of the Stone river, and is
well adapted for purposes of defeuse.-
MurfreesbOrO, however, is probably only a
secondary post. the chief point of cOucen-
tration being prbably at Tuilaboma, a
point about fifty miles further south, and
at the junction of the Nashville and Chat
tanOOga, and the McMunnvilIe ane Man-
chester railroads. Murfreesboro is the
Centervflle of the Tennessee position, and
Tullahoma ITS Manassas.-It will most
probably be found that the rebels have re-
treated on these posts from their strong
holds. already taken on the Cumberland
and Teunessee.-They may make their
last stand here; which, under the inspi-
ration of Beauregard's presence and posi-.
bly, reinforced from this state, will no
doubt be more desperate than anything yet
experienced. The contest, too would be
purely military one, there being no
means of reaching either point by the fleet
which would throw still heavier duty on
the Federal forces. ~ in

Our FOREIGN relations are improving
Every steamer brings additional evidence
of friendly feeling growing up for this
government both in England and France
or rather the return of the good under
standing that formerly existed. And yet
we have not heard OF the effect produced
in Europe by the recent victories of our
arms. 1t may be weil.supposed that news
will make Union stock over there very
buOyant. The rebellion is now going down
hill, and it is natural everybody should
giveit kick.
We see it stated that other English jour.
nails are preparing to cope with the Times,
by sending correspondents to this couutry,
who will give the English people juster
idea of this war than they have yet had.
England and the United States are natural
allies, and it is to be hoped, may always
maintain friendly relations; but this people
feels pretty sore over John Bulls bullying
US in the Trent affair, because he thought
he had US down. He has probably discov.
cred by this time that he had a narrow es.
cape from trouble. Mr.. Bull can maintain
friendly relations with Uncle Sam hereaf.

otherwise.

THERE IS class of news papers in the
country (and we have frequently alluded
to them) that lose sight of she rebels alto
gether id their terrible anxiety about the
Constitution. They assume to be par .r.
ceiisHes its guardians and keepers. They
do not suppose it posi- BILE that any other
of its friends can be as true and devoted to
it as they are. They are also afflicted With
chronic timidity, and apprehension of dan
ger. They see ga thousand suares beset,"
and Thousand foes assaiI it, where no.
body else sees any and they Practically

what the peOple-conservative and radical,

They have rallied nobly for that very pur-
POse-six hundrpd thousand OF, them. And
they have pretty nearly placed the Constt
tuition out Of danger and Tindicated its su
Premacy. So nearly that we guess it will
soon be secure. The Constitution is all
right There is nothing serious the matter
with the President. True he deserves the
hearty support of the whole loyal people,
and he is receiving it, But these frantic
appeals are unnecessary. It's great
waste of valuable ammunition, that might
be expended to advantage on the rebels.
Besides good many people cry oalias
when they mean Dover, and suppose all
the time that people of sense don't see
through it. John @. Breckenridge was a
devoted friend of the Constitution, and he
had such fearful anxiety about the in
fraction of it by its friends, that in order
to make everything perfectly sure, he went
over bodily to its enemies. 1t is to be
hoped others OF its friends do not copt.m.
plate a similar resort. =
