The following extract from a dispatch re-
ceived at this Department from Mr.. John de Ia
hontagnie, the Consul Of the Unitsd States at
Nantes, 10 published for general information;
IL have the honor TO say that vessels coming
from the United States to this port suffer losses
through the ignorance of owners a. to existing
facts here.
81 propose to briefly and concisely present
these facts to the Department.
vessels usually take charters TO deliver
cargoes either at Paimbosuff or Nantes.
There fs water enough at Paimboeuf, but
the exposures in reaching this roadstead are
sometimes perilous.
"Tho lowest river water between st. Nazsire
and Nantes is from ton TO twelve feet in winter.
and as low MS seven feet in summer.
"A vessel drawing over ten feet must lighter
part or all her cargo at II cost Of money and
time to her owners.
eff the vessel comes to Nantes, she must pay
piotage, and, optionally, towage.
"1f partly discharged at st. Nazaire, the
cargo Is at the risk Of the ship or tho insurance
until delivered at Nantes.

able bondsmen, and to whose ears the cry
of the miserable slave, as he writhes under
the lash the overseer, is melodious mu-
sic. The greatest mind in all rebellion de-
clared that the basis Of their government
was African slavery. Can we look for
freedom from such rulers, who hold that a
government cannot exist which does not
give one class of citizens the right TO en-
slave, buy, sell and torture others? No
freeman can live under such an abomina-
bic despotism, whose very atmosphere
is as fatal to freedom as the foul air OF
the Grotto del Cave is to animal life. HUI
manity revolts at the sight of such hy-
dren which rises among the nations Of
the present century like some tabled
monster of another age. All good men
should cOnspire to hunt it TO its death,
and wipe out the last remains of its
power from the Western Continent.

Insurrectionists.

The editor Of rebel paper says that
Che Nashville Union is trying to incite q
negro instruction. He is an uhmitigated
liar, as all rebel editors are. The Nash
ville Union is using all its influeSce to
restore law and order, while the devils
who edit the rebel papers are trying TO
prolong and sggravate the anarchy and
instruction, which now aillict the South
ern States. For a rebel to charge others
with melting Instruction, is like the
. devils reproving sin. If it were even
true that we are trying to excite mutiny
among slaves, we would be'guilty of no
greater sin than the incendiaries who
are stirring up mutiny among the
white population. We have the same
right to stir up slaves to rebellion, that
rebel editors have TO stir up the owners
of the slaves to rebellion. There is not a
rebel editor in the land, who if he had
his deserts, would not this moment be
dancing at the end Of halter, for the
crimes of melting rebellion, mutiny. in
surrection and bloodshed.

A Bad Prospect.
The Knoxville Register Of the 10th inst.

The Knoxville Register of the 10th inst.
says:
The President and General Joseph Il.
Johnston having visited our army in
Middle Tennessee, and having satisfied
themselves of the capacity of our forces
and generals to maintain their position,
or to fall back, should such movement
become necessary, have gone to Missis-
sippi. We would remark that should the
rainy season set in and the Tennessee
and Cumberland become navigable for
gunboats, that not only will Rosecrans
army receive achievements and supplies,
but Huntsville will be endangered. The
gunboats can ascend the Tennessee to
Tuscumbia, and Bragg's army will thus
be placed between two forces of the en-
envy. He may then be compelled to fall
back towards Chattanooga, or McMinn-
vile, or move towards the Southwest.
The Northern papers contemplate such a
contingency.

The Boston Courier says, that the
whole thing of African slavery sis ex-
planned by what explains so many other
things in history, the law of race, that
law which constrains the white race 10
keep its blood pure, and repels from it all
races of different color from its own;
perhaps we should rather say the Anglo
Saxon branch of the white race"
We wonder whether the intelligent ed
itor of the Courier is really ignorant of
the fact, that slavery always has been,
and is now, in the Southern States, the
great adulterator and amalgamator of the
blood of the negro and the white race.
The mulattoes, which dapple the whole
system of slavery, are so many hundreds
of thousands of living witnesses that the
peculiar institution is the hot-bed of
lust, and the vilest sort of amalgamation.
The Courier would be benefited by lit
lie practical observation on this matter.
The Courier also processes to believe that
we have treated the African race much
more kindly than we have used the In
dian tribes. Would the editor of the
C6,aier rather share the fate of slave
on cotton plantation than that of an
Indian? Just reflect little, Courier,

carefully locked up every night in their
quarters ? The fact is that the whole
relation between master and slave is
one continual antagonism, and the slave
is ever struggling for the prize Of free
dom. In so doing he obeys the first in
stinct Of nature. Slavery is violation
of the fret and greatest right of man.
The Nashville daily union. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1862-1866, 1862-12-27

The relations between the white man
and black man have never, or almost
never, been antagonistic. They have
never been struggling for prize which
only one could have. The black man has
always been an instrument in the hands
of the white man. He has been his de-
pendent, his vassal, his servant, his slave;
never his enemy. One has been the pat
ron race, the other the client race.-Bos-
ton Courier.

That brutal tyrant and savage, Gener-
al BRAGG, has announced to Gen. Rose
GRAMS that he will, in future, hold in
close confinement, all officers of the Uni
ted States army captured by the forces
of the Confederate States under his COM
mand as hostages for citizens imprisoned
by him, and to carry this into effect, he
has ordered all officers of the United
States Army, including fifteen officers
captured at Huntsville, to be sent to Chat
tanooga for close confinement. We hope
that the effect OF this announcement Of
the rebel General will be to cause the ar
rest of every leading rebel in Nashville
and the adjacent country. The rebel
Government, months ago, arrested and
imprisoned hundreds Of loyal citizens,
and still holds them in confinement, IL
is a gross violation of the rules of war
for BRAGG TO confine Federal prisoners in
this manner. He has nothing to do in
the case of political prisoners, that is
matter which belongs exclusively to tine
civil department. BRAGG is the very last
person to complain of the arrest of per-
sons for political offences, If the rebel
Government can srrest citizens for loyal
ty, surely the United States Government
can arrest citizens for treason.

The Rebel Government thrusts it nose
and fingers officially into every mans
business. 1t also issues orders to farm
ers as to what crops they may cultivate,
and where and at what price they may
sell them. A more deplorable and uni
versal tyranny has never been seen in
the worst despotisms Of Europe, These
encroachments upon the private business
Of individuals are not a new thing in
Dixie, the land of Southern Bights. They
have been steadily progressing for
months, and are becoming worse every
day. In few months more, if the re-
bellion shall hold out that long, JEFF.
DAVIS will have a network of public
regulations cast over every family in re-
beldom, equal to chat of LOUIS NAPOLEON,
who has spy in every house,
and a policeman sdogging the foot
steps Of every man. This deplorable
slavery is the lot of that chival-
ry, who rebelled against the United
States government, because they could
not endure its expressions. What (
beautiful exchange of masters they have
made certainly We are not surprised a
this at all. No other policy but DIES
potie jealous, meddlesome one, can b.
