Wade Must Fight.

denounced Wade as ga liar, a scoundr !,
and a coward" for aludiug to him, in
speech made at Washington short time
ago, as Il man who never had any sym
pathy with the Republic, but whose cv-
cry breath is devoted to its destruction
just as far as his heart dare permit him to
so.
VIII the bold and lion hearted Wade
allow Nallandigham to escape chaSt,c-
mcnt for such language Wade on one
occasion shook his fist under the nose OF
Calhoun, True, Calhoun was man
much inferior TO Wade physically, and
he in his turn shook his fist under Wadc's
proboscis, but Ben, has enjoyed Il Won
deriul reputation for caurage ever since.
He impaired it little at Bull Run,
where he made the fastest time recorded
lie ran towards Washington against q
crazy bullock that had broken loose from
herd, and beat the bullock by sevcra
hides. If he don't thrash Nallandigham
now, Ben. will lose his reputation lol

Party Divisions.

United States will he divided into two poll
tical parties. One party will be Compo-
sed Of those who are in favor Of the Con
sttution as it was understood and inter-
prctcd by the patriots who framed it, and
the great statesmen who have guided the
destnes of the Union as it was, and the
other party will be composed of thos'
who are opposed 90 the restoration of th'
Union as it was, with the rights and dig
nifty and equality of all the States unim
paired and who regard the Constitution
as subordinate to the higher law, and tina
it should not pc respected as the suprcm
law of the land. Parties in the futur
will divide upon these issues, and thcr
is no difficulty in forctelling upon whic
side the conservative masses Of the coun
try will de found.

We are indebted to Mr.. Wm Bedell,
who arrived from Nashville this morning,
for copies Of late Nashville papers. lie
represents everything quiet there, lie
saw very few exhibitions of Union feel
ing among the citizens. They appeared
sullen and morse, hardly repressing their
curses of the federals. They are com.
PEELED to keep pretty close mouths, how
ever. The citizens are nearly all "se-
cesh." Very strict patroles are main
tanned throughout the city both day and
night. If knot of two or three people
are found talking together on street
corner at night, they are very liable to
be marched off to the lookup. The ne
groes appear to share in the hatred OF
their masters for Northern men. They
frequently shout to a stranger from q
safe retreat, "What are you doing here
you id Abolitionist?" Business i,

Capture OF New Orleans.

On Friday last the Federal fleet arrived
before New Orleans, Tho approach Of
the Union forces had been telegraphed
from Jackson, Miss, and produced un
bounded excitement in New Orleans. All
the cotton, and such steamboats, as wore
not required to carry away corn and am
unition were burned The telegraph op,
orator left, and hence we are ithout any
particulars Of the attack and surrender
There is, however, no doubt about oul
our forces having taken possession of the
city without much resistance. This is
great triumph for the Union cause--grca
because an important point has been gain
cd, and that, too, with n triiling cost o
blood

Honor 10 whom Honor is Due

When South Carolina was making
ready to go out of the Union, Governor
Adams, of that State, said;
"The Aboitionists are our best friends.
Thank God for what they have already
done; and for the inestimable blessings
they are about to confer they are entitled
to our warmeSt gratitude. Their assaults
have been unceasng, but all for our good,
They have furnished us with justification
for dissolving our cannection with then"
In the same spirit, Wendell Phillips
'thanked God that he had created Gen,
Beauregard, and inspired him to fire on
Fort Sumter!"
Thus we see the rebels South and the
rebels North--the Abolitionists and the
Secessionists--acknowledge their obliga-
tions to, and their admiration for each
other.--Logan Gazette
