Tor greater Safety. fnoSt oI tHe slafe'
holders in Missouri, who can do SO, are
moving South into Arkansas, Texas, &C.,
with their slaves, while the shambles of
Richmond are crowded with cofHes, and
the voices of the auctioneers almost
drown the changer Of the war in their
sale of human herds. The man markets
were never before SO well supplied, nor
were human flesh ever sold SO cheaply
in the slave marts of this 1model repub-

I'm Winter Quarters.
The Richmond =Esedasiaer says the
ySouthern army of the Potomac have
gone into winter quarters. 1t gives the
.dispositiens of the various Brigades,an and
seems to fear no attack from our side.
It lcomplacently says, however, that
should an attack be made, the rebel
commanders willbe advised of it in time
to be prepared aoOf course they win.
What's the use of keeping their men in
camp when they have friends in high
| places at Washington tozadyise them of
danger? ~ Il -7t blp bi4es.s' tssts 8

The Richmond. papers say the South
ern War. Department has been compelled
/ to refuse the further acceptance Of re-
Esignations from commissioned .ofhcers
in the army, unless in cases of absolute
disability. Are the Chivalry getting
tired, of the war? Or only of the Con-

The Fire in the. Southern Heart
SKI Going Out. =
/ :. From the almost universal demand
Eof the ss6re- eating journals, for filling
up the diminishing forces of the rebel
armies by conscription, it would seem
that the s'Southern heart" which has
been so long ''fred, is cooling off. Let
them, by all means, resort to tseonscrip--
tion!'s Perhaps the "Southern heart, !"

/ A bill has been introduced into the
4 Senate of the United States, forbidding,
under penalty of dismissal from the
service, military officers from degrading
!: that service by slave hunting Its
4 passage will spoil the chief inducement,
which lead some men to seek positions
in the Union army, but it will relieve
the great mass of the patriotic volun-

More DevIi's Work Discovered.
> The difficulty with the engine of the
steam Sloop Pensacola, has just been
| discovered. 1t proved to be the work
lof secret tory employed in its erection.
One of the supply pipes was so doctored
as to cause an explosion. The villain
who did it was employed by the Govern
ment, and while SO employed, and pro-
Tossing true allegiance, with the spirit
of double yed traitor, took advantage
of his position to secure the destruction
Of the vessel and the murder of its pat
riotic crew.
Let IL be Passed. e-
The Committee of Ways and Means,
in Congress, have introduced bill, au-
thorizing the issue of one hundred
million dollars in Treasury notes, ma
king them legal tender in the pay
ment of all debts. We hope the bill
will pass Immediately. Every branch of
business will feel an instant relief, and
the Government will De able to meet its
present necessities in spite of the sus-
pension of the Banks. Hand us the
notes for all dues. We will not ask for
a better currency. -. e.
Union Mem i'm Nashville.
A letter from louisville, says that
| the Catholic Bishop of Nashville has
arrived there, and reports a strong
Union feeling in Nashville. Even the
secessionists are beginning to dread their
own self-appointed rulers worse than
the Union troops. He says, however,
that the rebel defenses at that place are
very strong, and with the R. r. de-
stroyed, it will be difficult to take the
city But with its capture, the cause of
the rebels would be prostrated. .z
ConsoIIng. Taa aG t.# Oh
/ A spicy debate has occurred in Con-
gress on the release of Mason and Sill
DELL 1t will be comfort to all those
true Union men who were not prepared
for their surrender, to know that Vallan-
digham, and all of his stripe, denouace
the action of the Government in the
! bitterest manner. We always thought it
1 was right, under the circumstances, to
give them up. That opinion is fully
confirmed by the fury of the open reels,
and their sympathisers. 25-
