How TO tell an Abo.i,ion,s,.

1t is little difficult to find men who Will

He adores Fremont and finds in his
emancipation proclamation ia Missouri. n
sufficient excuse for all his peculations and
corruption.
lie styles all men Of whatever rarty.
who differ WITH him in measures of policv
in tho conduct OF the war. as secessionists.
and no better than JEFF. Davis He gives
aid and comfort to the enemy by proclaim
ing that large portion of the people Of
the North are secessiouists and svmpa-
thize with traitors.
lie don't believe in the freedom Of speech
or the press, unless to preach and dissem-
mate the principles of negro equality.
lie don't believe that Mcclellan is mucl,
of General
Upon cluse questioning,he acknowledges
be is not in favor Of the old Union. but
wishes the substitution OF some modern
Utope Of free negroes.
lie delights in blood letting, where the
lives of Democratic soldiers feed the
stream Of tl3od. but viii fight his battles
at home over some Abolition newspaper.
But Abo.itiOnism is not the ONLY bobbv
OF his maudiln brain. His mind diseased
grasps phanIoms for realities and delights
Ia chimeras Of every kind
In religion bigot or skeptic. In mo.
rality. a stole or debauehee. In ALI the
relations Of life, he abuses the gifts of his
Maker by intolerance and casts the cloud
OF his presence on all around him.
We think we have already given enough
OF the characteristics of the creature. 10
prove his identy. We will warrant the
signs to stand all weathers.

Taxing Rebel Property C0Trg,e

Mr.. Dcolittle's b:ll, passed by the Senate
OF Monday, requires the President to de-
clare by proclamation in what States in
surrectIon exists. whcreupun the real cs-
tate within them is to become CHARGED with
its portion Of the direct tax imposed by the
act of last session. Ia default of payment

ty shall lie sold by b ard consisting o.
three Tax Commissioners in each State. at
price not less than two thirds the assessed
value.
The owner may. however, within sixty
days after the sale, upon appearing before
the Board IN person, taking the ualh to
support the constitution, aud paying the
tax, with fifteen per cent. interest from the
date of the Presidents proclamation, with
expenses, redeem his property. Minors.
&c, are allowed two years to redeem, and
the Commissioners are authorized to ex-
tend the time where loyal persons have
sufficient excuse for delay; and the Com
missl5ners may lease lands abandoned by
rebel owners, taking care to require les,

also sell the same in parcels not to exceed
800 acres to each purchaser, who must be

pay one fourth Of the purchase money
and the residue within three years. Oue-

Important from the South.

Cairo is full of refugees from Memphis
ana other points In the South the number
OF whom Is constantly ana rapidly increas
ing.
These refugees bring Memphis papers of
dates as late as the 18th, containing highly
important news.
On the 18th. as we learn from the tele.
graphic columns of these papers, Pensacola
was evacuated. On the morning of that
day the Federal batteries on Santa Rose
Island, together with the fleet, commenced
Smelling the rebel works. After short
but vigorous cannonading which produced
no response, the commandment sent d fac of
truce ashnre to find out the reason of the
silence. No enemy whatever was found.
except a solitary Major, who reported that
the garrison had left on the previous day.
The Federal troops were to take possession
on the following day.
No mention is made Of the direction in
which the rebels had gone.
The Memphis papers contain detailed
accounts of the recent naval engagement
at Fort Pillow, in which they modify their
tune very considerably. They vet refuse
to admit the loss of any beats, though thew
confess their fleet was badly cut up and
compelled to retire from action.
Accounts of the evacuation of Yorktown
and Norfolk had just been received. These
are pronounced strategical movements.
