GEN. BURNsrDE's VIcroRY.- When
the history Of the present rebellion is
written, its pages will be adorned by the
name of no nobler patriot or officer than
that of Maj. Gen. Ambrose Z. Burnside,
Of Rhode Island. His recent victory has
completely thrilled the national heart.
The following is his congratulatory ad-
dress to his troops:
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT N.C.)
NEwBERN, March Is.
GENERAL ORDER No. 1.-The General
Commanding congratulates his troops on
their brilliant and hard won victory of the
14th. Their courage, their patience,
their endurance of fatigue, exposure and
toll cannot be too highly praised. After
tedious march, dragging their howi,zers
by hand through swamps and thickets,
after a sleepless night passed in drench-
ing rain, they met the enemy in his cho-
sen position, found him protected by
strong earthworks, mounting many heavy
guns, and in the open field themselves,
they conquered. With such soldiers,
advance is victory.
The Commanding General directs with
peculiar pride, that as a well-deserved
tribute TO valor in this second victory of
the expedition, each regiment engaged
shall inscribe on its banner the memo
rable name Of Newborn.

A Suoe EsrIos WoRrH THINKING Or

A SUGGESTION WORTH THINKING of
i'm recent letter on the emancipation
question. the veteran Amos Kendall sums
up the sist of the whole controversy brief
" and forcibly, as follows:
81 appeal 10 tho advocates OF emancl-
patton in the North TO be content with the
progress which their principles are max
inc. not through the subversion OF the
constitution, but under cover OF its author
ity. Probably four-fiiths OF all the slaves
in the United States are now lawfully sub
iect 10 confscation on account of the trea-
son of their masters. How tar the for
fixture of their slaves, their other proper
". or their lives shall be carried, is o
question of exp diency only, and involves
no constitutional question of power. Four
ffihs of all the slaves may be thus law
fully set free, and the emancipation OF the
ether fifth would soon follow. In this
view of the subject what motives have
the abolitioniss of the North to press
their government into an abandonment OF
the constitution, by making a general
emancipation, instead of the preservation
OF that instrument, the direct object OF the
war, thus giving color of right to the
rebellion; and in measure paraiyzlne
the arms of loyal men, especially in the
South2"

FROM THE SoUTH.-Governor Letcher
has issued proclamation, calling out all
the white male population of Va. between
the ages of Is and As. OF course they
are without arms or suitable clothing.
The Richmond papers charge him with
attempting to embarrass the Government
with his call. The Examiner says:
Real madness or much whiskey may
have their parts in this sudden overturn
of a whole society but above and through
them both this purpose is clearly evident
Ito produce as much confusion and en-
barrassment as possible, to render the
public defence an odious service, and an
noy all classes. till the war for our indie
pendence becomes an uncomfortable curse.
Alas, poor people p! Between Lincoln
without and Letcher within, your case is
indeed sad one. Unless the Confederate
Government can interfere for your pro.
lection, then put your trust in God, for
there is no other friend for you.

The REBEL INpIANs.-A correspon,

The REBEL INpIASs.-A correspon-
dent speaks as follows of the Indian allies
of the rebels at the battle of Pea Ridge ::
"You will of course have heard of tie
fact that the rebels had some 5000 In
dams under the command of Albert Pike
Also, that some 90 of our men-who fell
in the engagement under Col. Osterhaus
on Friday, and under Gen. Davis on Sat-
urday, and had the misfortune to be left
on the field-were foully and fiendishly
scaIped, murdered, and robbed by these
red. skinned wretches.
So far as the fighting was loncerned,
the Indians were not to be taken into
account. Notwithstanding the frantic ex-
element of Pike and others, they could
not be made TO stand the fire of our men
for more than a single round. Our ar
tillery sent them bowling back as quickly
AS they made their appearance in body.
1t is related, and with some grounds, that
these savages seized upon quantity OF
whiskey belonging to the confederates, on
Friday, and becoming furiously drunk,
began TO fight among themselves. The
Arkansans were called upon to quell the
riot, when promiscuous and bloody bat
tie ensued among the Indians and Arkan-
sans, in which several hundred must have
been killed and wounded. The Indians,
who have thus been SO wickedly pressed
into the service of instruction, became a
scourge to their masters and punish
ment to themselves"

MCCLELLAN ON SLAVERY.

The Washington correspondent of the
N. Y. Post makes the following interest.
ing statement -
81 was yesterday informed by one of
Gen. McClelans most intimate friends
that he approves most heartily of the
Presidents emancipation Proclamation,
and that he has been very much misun-
derstood by the country generally as to his
views on the slavery question, as it con-
meets itself with the war. This friend as
serts that Gen. Mcclellan believes that
the country will see no lasting peace until
slavery is destroyed, and that he is not a
pro-slavery man, as some persons have
| stated.
1t is further said of him. that as SOL
der he has been careful of his speech on
all such matters. but that he has intended
that no officer of the Potomac army shall
ever return fugitive slave--and that the
few isolated cases that have occurred,
have not met with his appreciation. That
he ordered the arrest of Gen. Stone is a
well known fact-and it is further known
that when his attention has been repeat
eddy called to the fact that fugitive slaves
were in the camps of the Government
troops across the river, he has replied
that the commander Of the army could
not recognize any person as slave"

pause, he said with a culver in his
voice, You have done me more honor
than can ever do to YOU He then sat

if he could legally do SO, he would make

THURSDAY, MARCH 81. 1862.
THE CAPTURE OF NEwBERN.

The victory obtained by Gen. Burn
side over the rebels at Newbern, has been
duly commented upon, and the impor-
tance Of the conquest has been fully and
properly SEX forth by the press OF the
country. AS key to the Interior OF
North Carolina and the Southeastern
eoast Of .he State, il was Of the highest
importance that this point should be held,
b view Of the probable projected move
ments OF the different army corps acting in
sohoert with the Burnside expedition. Its
geographical position and its local advan-
cages give il an importance that, per-
Aaps, as place for the stars and stripes
Of the Union to float at the present time,
has no equal in tho old North State.
But aside from the advantages gained
b. its late capture by the prowess OF
Yankee arms and Yankee valor, we have
other reasons for thanking Gen. Burnside
for bringing Newborn, the once proud
capital Of North Corolina, to our notice,
being as it is true type or exemplar Of a
city with great advantages.--and in the
earlier days of its existence with high
hopes for its future-under the ban and
the curse Of slavery.
There are those now among us who are
fearful that by some hocus-pocus,or by mis-.
rule--and violation Of the constitution
Our men in Congress--or in the Cabinet
may do something to deprive our South
ern brethren of their rights--their ines
ENABLE rights--guaranteed to them by
che men Of rs. II has heretofore beer
painful to listen to the lacrymose wailing'
Of these Jackalls Of the slavery propagan
da--but their outcries now, and their ex
pressed fears that something shall be done
IN the present war to strike at the heart
Of sthe system" is positively disgust
ing.
Newbern is an old town, and as oul
readers probably all know, is situated al
the bead Of an estuary Of the sea, some
one hundred miles from the Atlantic oceal
IL the state Of North Carolina. To Nortl
Carolina II holds about the same relativ,
position that Albany holds to the state Q
New York, with the exception of the ad
vantage that Newborn has of good bar
Dor and free access to the sea by vessel
Of large tonnage. 1t was for time tn,
capital of the State. In 1918 it had tw,
banks, three churches, a theater, an,
boasted Of 5000 inhabitants. In 1862 it
inhabitants number 5,434, an increas,
(over the Left not favorable to the insti
tuition under, which it was fostered. AL
bany in 1918 Was the capital of slave
State, but its actual number of inhabitant
at that date we have not now at hand the
means Of ascertaining with precision; bu
The mercst tyro can run the parallel be.
tween Albany, as the exemplar Of State
that had the wisdom early to cast off the
incubus Of slavery, and Newbern, still
held to the tenets Of the peculiar. instl.
