The London Saturday Review, long q
bitter reviler of the North, has been sud-
denly converted. 1t announces the fall Of
Fort Donelson with the following stinying
comment II
The Southern papers will henceforth, per.
haps. think it expedient to discontinue their
habtual attacks on the federal soldiery which.
according to their theory, only exemplified
the national want of courage at Rull Run. 1t
is more excusable for raw soldiers to be charg-
ed with panic than for division to lay down
its arms almost at the commencement of a
campaign which had long been foreseen.
This is an extremely unkind cut towards
the South. Very different from the tone
assumed by the Saturday Review in the
early stages of the war, it is nevertheless
much nearer the truth than that journal has
ever come in its disquisitions on American
affairs. The high tories of England begin
to see things in proper light and, after
their usual manner, when our arms are
found to be successful they pronounce US
competent to manage our own affairs with"
out foreign interference-in fact "they al
ways said the North would get the better
of the fight"

The Merrimac.

A new and important meaning has been
assigned to the recent raid of the Merrimac.
There is reason to believe that the sole OBJ
ject of the iron>plated monster in appearing
as she did, and destroying the blockadiDg
squadron at the mouth of the James River,
was to enable the two smaller rebel vessels,
the Yorktown and the jamestown, to pass
down the stream, and up Elizabeth River
to Norfolk and Gosport Navy Yard, where
they now are. The repairs made to these
vessels at Richmond we're not of very i'm.
portant character, the evident design being
to remodel and reconstruct them at Cos
port as iron plated steamers, to cooperate,
at some time not far distant, with the Mer-
rimac in an attack upon all the Federal
shipping in the harbor. Whether the Mon
itor would be match for these three enc
mics, is q question which should be solved
by those in authority. The jamestown
and Yorktown would not have been able,
without the aid of the Mcrrimac, to have
run the James River blockade, and the fa-
cilities at Gosport Navy Yard for their
reconstruction are, unfortunately, ample.

CONCORD, IN. H } March "a, 1862.
My DEAR SIR 81 enclose a short arti.
Gle from the Saturday evening edition of the
Boston Journal (March 22), the substance
OF which 1t is quite probable you may have
seen before. Having originated in Michi
gan and been reproduced in Boston it can
hardly be doubted that it has already Sc.
cured wide circulation.
The subject is not new to me. It was
the subject OF correspondence between the
Secretary OF State and myself as early as
December last. / thought it reasonable to
suppose, at the close of that correspondence
that the matter would cease to attract no.
tice.
This expectation not having been realized
and the offensive charge, alledged to be bass
ed upon a document the original of which
=" is now in the State Department at Wash.
ington," having been revived and extensive
ly published, will you do me the favor to
introduce in the Senate resolution calling
for the correspondence to which have re-
ferred?
1t will strike you, I am sure, both upon
public and personal grounds, that such
imputations should not be permitted thus
to circulate unchalenged. especially when an
answer to them, at least so far as am
concerned, has been for months upon the
files of the first Department of the Governs

The Telegraph News.

The news from the army of the Potomac
is highly interesting, as revealment of the
plans OF Gen. Nc GILLIAN, that have hith-
erto been concealed. 1t is no longer Sc
cret that large force, estimated as high as
eighty thousand men, has been withdrawn
from the main army, and transported to
Fortress Monroe, and from the dispatches
we conclude they have been landed at New
port News, and will soon be heard from on
their way to Richmond, as they pass up be.
tween the Y ork and James Rivers. A strong
reconnaissance in fact has already taken place
beyond Big Bethel in that direction. The
effect of this demonstration affords large
field for speculation. The threatening of
Richmond from the rear may produce a
hasty retirement of the rebels from the
Rappahannock, in order to save that city
and to keep open their lines of retreat, or it
may bring on decisive battle. From
Washington, we are informed that the
two armies are face to face, and
in sight of each other, but whether the
place is on the Rappahannock, or nearer
Washington, we can only conjecture. The
further insight wei get into the plans of Gen.
Mcclellan assures us that he contemplates
nothing less than the complete destruction
of the grand army of the rebels and sud.
den closing up of the rebellion by the cap'
ture of the leading conspirators.
The other dispatches are more than
usually interesting, but do not require spe.
cial notice.-Daily, 4th.

Prenttceana.

The Richmond papers strongly recon-
mend the destruction of cotton so as to take
away the chief motive for the invasion OF
the South by the federal troops. So then
the proposition is to save the South from
being overrun by making it not worth over
running. But we would suggest to the
rebels whether, if their territory is not Ia
ken, it can be worth their keeping.
We said sometime ago that the Union
armies would encompass the rebellion, as a
circle of fire the scorpion. And now the
Atlanta Gazett asks tauntingly chow is your
circle of fire ?" Pretty well, we thank you,
how is your scorpion2
The rebels complain bitterly, that, no
matter where they take their position, our
troops are sure to get in their rear and
operate there. They don't like to have such
doings going on behind their backs. -

Superintendent of Public Instruction

Col. JOHN Il. STEVENS, editor of the
Glencoe Register, who was member of the
last House Of Representatives, expresses his
sentiments very forcibly in regard to the
policy adopted by the Legislature on the
subject of Public Schools, in the summary
expulsion from Office of Rev. DR.. CRARY,
the able and efficient head of the School
system of the State. The plea of economy
will not stand for moment, in view of the
fact that the Statistical Bureau, which costs
not less than two thousand dollars per an
rum and is nothing but AM ornamental appens
dage to the State Government, is still COM
tinued. We publish what Col. STEVENS
says:
1t is time for those who are parents, to
look around and see that their children and
children's children are not cheated out of a
rich inheritance bequeathed US by the Gen,
eral Government for school purposes. In
every State where there are so many school
lands, there should be State Superinten-
dent. We had one in this State, and good
one-Rev. DR.. Crary. The Legislature be-
came so parsimonious it could not afford the
price of his valuable services, and without
judge or jury, but with kind of drum head
court martial, be was summariy disposed Of
The million acres of school lands, the mil
lions of dollars belonging to the children,
might all 60 to pot, and the education Of
the present children may 60 to grass. Sac.
rifce everything, and iegislate out of Office
one of the purest, best men in the State,
and all under the pretext that the State was
too poor to pay the paltry sum of fifteen
hundred dollars. Yes. for fifteen hundred
dollars, sacrifice the lands, the money, the
education of the children. Every ship must
have master Every State must have a
governor; every army head; every de
partment chief But here in Minnesota
the recent Legislature seemed to think there
was no need of head to the school depart
ment, but that it could be attached to the
Secretarys Office, without pay, profit, honor,
or anything else to the Secretary! Now
we believe Secretary Baker would, if he had
the time, discharge the duties appertaining
to the SUPPLEMENTARY in as creditable q
way as any one else, but it is not reasons
BILE to expect that be could have thrust up
on him with impunity half dozen different
Offices be was never elected to fill. None
but goose would attempt such thing.
The fact is, the Legislature did not care
whether the school kept or not, and the con.
sequence will be no one will feel like taking
an interest in schools until there is a re-
sponsible head to that department.

On the Potomac.

All the information, private and public,
that comes from Washington, point to bat
ties soon to be fought and won on the
banks of the Rappahannock and York riv-
ere. Summers Division is pushing the reb-
els southwark, beyond Manassas. Banks
Division is moving steadily forward down
the Shenandoah Valley, in the direction of
Staunton. The Eastern papers state that
powerful column have gone down the Pc.
tomac to Fortress Monroe, to take the reb-
els in the rear, by marching up the York
river, or up the james, direct on Richs
mond, while the main army pushes forward
along the railroad track from Fredericks.
burg to Richmond-repairing it as they go.
But whatever may be the plan of opera
tions, there are men enough in the Grand
Army of the Potomac to march whittier
they please. 1t is not in the power of the
rebels to arrest the advance of 227 regi>

nctpatiOn In tho states and tho
District OF Columbia.

President Lincoln has repeatedly signi'
fed his understanding of the rule of duty
prescribed to itself under these heads by
the party now in power. In the discussions
which he had with MIR. Douglas in the
Senatorial campaign Of 1858, he referred to
these topics in the following terms, when
speaking at Quincy, Illinois, on the 18th Of
October, 1853, and which may be found in
the volume Of "printed debates between
Douglas and Lincoln" at page 1877:
We (Republicans) have due regard to the
actual presence of slavery among us and the
difficulty of getting rid of it in any satisfactory
way and all the constitutional obligations
thrown around it. l suppose that, in refer
ence to its actual existence in the nation and
to our constitutional obligations. we have no
right at all to disturb il in the States where it
exists, and we profess that we have no more
inclination to disturb it than we have the right
to do it.
We 60 further than that; we don't propose
to disturb it where, in one instance. we think
the Constitution would permit US. We think
the Constitution would permit US to disturb it
in the District of Columbia. Still we do not
propose to do that, unless it should be upon
terms which don't suppose the nation is very
likely soon to agree to-the terms Of making
the emancipation graGual and by compens at,ng
the unsciliing o,oners. Where we suppose we
have the constitutional right we restrain our.
selves in reference to the actual existence of
the institution and the difficulties thrown
about it.

The Censorship ON War News.

We were no less pleased than our readers
will be, to learn from the sutjoined circular
that the stringent censorship over war news
is to be somewhat relaxed, and that we are
soon to be informed of everything that has
transpired, in the operations of the Army
of the Potomac that will interest the pub
lie, as we'll as its future movements as
they occur. ConcediDg the propriety of
the rules that have been promulgated from
time to time by the War Department for
the suppression of the knowledge of militia.
~ movements that might be of service to
the enemy, we have endeavored to observe
them faithfully, but when their necessity no
longer exists, we shall be very glad to be
released from their operation. The follow.
ing was received last evening

ton on the publication of military news will
be removed, as far as is consistent with public
safety, to enable journals to give satisfactory
narratives of the operations that have taken
place.
But all facts affordng information useful to
the enemy, in respect to the strength or posi-.
ton of our forces, its destination or future op.
erations must be omitted.
The order which will be made relaxing the
regulation, will specify, as far as practicable.
the Objectionable matter, and with sufficient
precision to direct patriotic journals.
Full descriptions of battles and engage
ments will be allowed by telegraph or other
wise.
All detailed descriptions of our Notifications
and means of offensive and defensive opera
lions should be avoided.
The publication of drawings or artistic rep.
reservations of our forts or Notifications will
be treated as willful design to give intelligence
to the enemy.
This Circular is sent to enable journals to be
prepared to avail themselves of the order
when published.

Statistics of Free Negro Population

From the subjoined table, compiled by
the National Intelligencer from the Census
of 1860, it will be seen that the free negro
population of the Slaveholding States is
considerably in excess over that of the
Non.slaveholding States. That is, the
Slaveholding States, Notwithstanding the
existence of slavery in them, have in reality
given a wider extension to the principle of
emancipation than was ever done by the
Non-saveholding States. The Intelligent
Ger says this is fact which should not be
forgotten by those who would admire phi
lanthropy in deed rather than in word:

Improvement In Business.

Newspapers in different parts of the
country speak cheerfully of the prospects of
business. Manufacturing in the New Eng
land States is starting up vigorously. At
Lowell, more is promised in the way of
building and charging mills than for sever
al years. In Rhode Island the same activ-
ity is noticeable. At Pawtucket, accord.
ing to the Providence Press, nearly all the
mills are running on full time-one at least,
has been obliged to run extra hours.
All the lake ports are anticipating re-.
vival, Immediately on the opening of navi.
cation. Large numbers of vessels are fitting
up for service at Toledo, Chicago, &C., and
some of them will sail in few days. A
few small craft have already ventured out
from Chicago.
The opening of the Connecticut and Hud-
sou rivers, which can be delayed only few
days, will release large quantities of freight
accumulated at various points. In WASH
ipgton city too hopeful feeling is INDUCED.
The re-opening of the Baltimore and Ohio,
Orange and Alexandria, Loudoun and
Hampshire, and Potomac railroads, as well
as the renewal of Uninterrupted trade the
whole length of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal, give rise to anticipatiOns of pros
porous spring business.
At Cincinnati and St. Lonis, percep.
tible though not very decided improvement
is noticed.
