For Essex County Commissioner,
EDWARD II. WEBB, of Guildhall.

We have not such batch Of brilliant VIC
tories to record the present week as We had
last-no one could expect it; but we give
the readers enough to assure them that the
truth and our arms ale "marching on" to
victory and final triumph. The latest dis
patch at the time Of writing this is that
Nashville has surrendered without fighting
and that the city is occupied by federal
troops. If this be so, taken in connection
with the strong Union sentiment everywhere
found by Commodore Foote, it gives US the
best evidence Of returning reason in the
southwest, and the speedy triumph Of the
Union cause. Clarksvilc, the only other
rebel fortifcaton on the Cumberland, was
evacuated several days ago Almost every
where in Kentucky and Tennessee, where
our troops have gone, they have been greet.
ed with JOY and enthusiasm by large por-
ton OF the inhabitants. This is one of the
best signs of the times. When the people
begin to see the real object of this war, and
learn who comnose tho Union armies ,bo,.

Our difference with Gen Mcclellan, if differ
ence there be, relates to the spn1t IN Wh!ch
the war should he waged and the ena which
the Unionists should contemplate, We hold
the chief danger of the nation to-day to be
that Of shameful and rulnous compromise,
whereby the traitor chiefs should regain all
they have forfeited by treason and lost by
discontinue. Let the war be so ended as to
aft I'd encouragement to future conspiracies
and rebellions, and the country will have
squandered many precious lives and thou
sand millions of dollars for worse than moth
ing. We deem it indispensable that the fate
of this rebellion shall be a warning to all
Burrs, Catilines and jeff Dayisses for the
next thousand Years not to plot the over
throw of the American Republic We have
no reason for confidence that Gen Mcclellan
shares this conviction.
If any one is in possession Of evidence that
Gen Mcclellan is-as We know Secretary
Stanton to be-in favor of thoroughly crush
ing out the rebellion in the shortest practi-
cable time and by the most readily effective
means, We will thank him for that evidence
But We beg him to comprehend that this is
not question affecting Gen Ms ability TO
plan or conduct a campaign-nct at all. We
do not enter upon that field Of inquiry
What We want to be assured of is that, if he
could tomorrow order an advance that would
crush the rebellion at blow, he would not
hesitate on the reflection that he would be
likely to kill several thousand good voters.
whom he might need in 1864 when he runs
for president as the candidate of the reunited
and reinvigoratec Sham Democracy"

A Slave Trader Hung.

Nathaniel Gordon, who has made four
cruises to the coast of Africa as captain of a
slave trader, and who succeeded in landing
two large cargoes of negroes at Cuba, was
finally captured by an American man-of-war
on the African coast, he having at the time
of Lis arrest some nine hundred human
beings packed away in his vessel, whom
he proposed to bring into perpetual bond
age. The captain of the American ship
made different arrangements, prominent a.
mong which was his sending the slave cargo
to Liberia, and bringing Gordon to New
York, where he was tried condemned, and
executed Eyes, executed in New York y last
Friday. This is the first instance in this
country where a slave-trader has received
his deserts at the hands Ct the law-let us
hope that it is not the last. Tie most siren
uous efforts were made by Gordons friends
and counsel to get his sentence commuted,
but without avail. lie came near cheating
the gallows Of its due by taking strychnine
the night before his execution, but antidotes
saved lis life. He was born in Portland,
Me-, where he leaves wife and child, and
mother.

The Southern States and the Earl of
Derby.

The Earl of Derby said he was not in the
habit OF occupying their lordships' attention
IN reference u the reports in the newspapers
of what passed in that House, but he should
on TINS occasion occupy Their time moment
while ne referred to report which had ap-
peared IN the Times newspaper of that day
as to what he had addressed to their lord
ships on Thursday evening. In that report
he was represented as saying the opposite Of
what he did say. With reference to the re
cosnition OF the southern states, he was re-
ported to have stated that the time had very
nearly arrived when, in his Judgment, her
-NaJesH government should be called upon
10 recognise as successful the revolt of the
southern states what he did say was, that
in his judgment the time had nat arr; ved .,
which her Najesty's government could bo
called upon to recognise the independence Of
the southern states. In his opinion, the Il.
J"c'o government of the confederate states
hao not been SO completely successful as to
ev'nce ITS absolute power of governing it.

Everything is quiet at Fort Donelson.-

Stanton versus Mcclellan.

Some OF the newspapers are having war
over these two officials: one class attrbut,
ing the turn that the tide of affairs has taken
IN the war department of late to Secretary
Stanton alone, and another class Of papers,
fall as numerous if not as noisy, claiming
that We are now getting but the fulfllment
OF McClellan's and Stewards promises-that
preparations have been steadily going for
ward, Gen McClelan's plan gradually but
surely developing, and that the same results
would have transpired under any secretary
of war,-even under Cameron himself.
We DO not propose to say much about
this matter as it is very immateria to us
land We believe to the public generally
whether our success is owing to the great
military capacity OF Gen Mcclellan who has
been enabled to see the end from the begin
nlng, or TO the untiring energy of our new
secretary OF war. or lthe more probable) to
both combined, if so be we succeed. Sue
cess is what We want and we will give honor
10 whom honor is due if We can.
1t is quite amusing, however, to see the
New York papers ''over-reach" in their anx-
lety to Iaud and eXtol their favorite, as in
the following paragraph which We take from
the Times under the head of Gen Mcclellan
directing western battles:
Gen Mcclellan sat by the telegraph ope-
rator at his headquarters, Sunday; Gen Blu
ell did the same at Louisville, and Gen Hal
leck at 81 Louis and the circuit being made
complete between the three, they conyersed
unInterruptedly Tor hours on the pending
battle at Fort Donelson, and made all the
orders and dispositions Of forces to perfec,
The victory and pursue the broken enemv.-
ihe battle was fought We may say, almost
under the eye of Gen Mcclellan
AT first sight the above paragraph reads
We'll; but when one just stops long enough
70 think that the battle at Fort Donels on
was az over on Saturday afternoon, the a
cAe'emln' loses somewhat of its grandeur
And, when the reader considers further that
there is not: telegraph within hundred
miles of the above place where this great bat
tie was fought almost under the eve of 30,
Mcclellan, the romance of the thing is en-.
tirely DESTROYED. We will say nothing of the
absurdlty of general fighting a battle tho
matter what his telegraphic facilities are)
when thousand miles away from the field
Of action,-that is apparent to all.
Secretary Stanton is as much an idol of
the Tribune as Mcclellan is Of the Times
and being criticised pretty severely for its
laudation of the secretary at the expense Of
little Mac" it reptile, in pungent article
which closes up as follows:
Now. then. We do not criticise military
operations in embryo or in progress. and
have exprr sd no opinion of the military ca
pacly OF Gen Mcclellan. He NAV be the
abiest or the wcakes, commander our coun-
try has yet produced for aught We have said

Monday night. Tie fire first broke oat in

night scenes at this fire were appalling but
splendd-the roaring flames, the winty SKY.
the red-tinged snow, the bowling of the gal.
and the crashing of walls conspired to make
them both picturesque and terrible.

The New York Tribune having attributed
the glory Of our late victories to secretary of

to it the following punsent and pious note =:

aScribed to ny official station. The glory OF
our recent victories belongs to the sallan,
oiiicers and soldiers that fought the battles.
No share Of it belongs to me- Much has re-
Gently been said of military combinations
and organizing victory. hear such phrases
with apprehension. They commenced in inf

suited IN Waterloo. Who can organize vic
'ory? Who can combine the elements of
success on the battlefield We owe our re-
cent victories to the Spirit of the Lord, tina,
moved our soldiers to rush into battle, and
filled the hearts of our enemies with terror
and dlsuay. The inspiration that CONQUER
ed in battle was in the hearts Of the soldier,
and from on high: and wherever there is
the same inspiration there will be the same
results. Patriotic spirit. with resolutc cour-
age in officers and men, is military combi-
nation that never failed. We NAY well re-

of the rebel officers captured at Warsaw,were

Capture of Il British Steamer.

The Constitution from Ship Island, which
arrived at New York on Monday. brings the
intelligence that the British steamer Labnan
while being loaded with cotton from steam
er with the rebel flag flying. in the Rio
Grande river, was taken prize by the sloop
of war Portsmouth. She had about half a
cargo of cotton aboard. and had previously
landed cargo of blankets and ordnance
stores al Matamoras. The British captain is
a prisoner on the Portsmouth and the st, am
rr will soon be sent north for adjudication.
1t is claimed that the vessel was in Mexican
waters, and her cargo will not be touched.
