What the South are Fighting for.

About one year ago A. ii. Stephens, the Vice
acy, thus defined the issue made by the South
in tins war Oh the Union. IL il profitable to
recur occasionally to the fundamental facts
1.-THE new Constitution mas put to rest for
ercr all the agtatng questions relating to our
peculiar lnstltutl0ns-Airican Slavery as 1t ex-
lists among us-the proper status OF the negro
in our form of civilization. THIS WAS THE IN
MEDIATE CAUSE OF THE LATE RUPTURE AND REyo.
LUTON. jefferson, in his forecast, had antici
pated this as the rock upon winch the old Tn
ion had split. lie was right. What was con.
lecture with him, is now u realized fact. But
whether he fully comprehended the great truth
upon which that rock stood aud stands, may be
doubted. The prevailing ideas entertained by
him and most of the leading statesmen at the
time OF the formation of the old Constitution
werc, that the enslavemcnt OF the African was
IN violation OF the laws OF nature; that it was
wrong in principle, socially, morally, and po-
litlcAlly. twas an evil that they knew not well
how to deal with but the general opinion Of
the men OF that day was that, somehow or other
10 the order OF Providence, the institution would
be evanescent and pass away. This idea, though
not incorporlt in the Constitution. was the
prevailing idea at the time. The Constitution
1t is true, secured every essential guaranty to
the institution while it should last, and hence
no argument can be justly used against the con-
stltutonal guarantees thus secured, because OF
the common sentiment of the day. Those ideas.

RoIIA, Nc, March l8 \ short time since,
anticipating tpe rebel movements in Texas coun-
ty, Mo-, Gen. Halleck ordered five companies
Of troops and two light steel six FOUNDERS,
mounted on two wheels and drawn by Two hor-
seS, under Col. Wood, to chat vicinity.
Finding no enemy there, Col. Wood pushed
on to Salem, Fulton county, Ark. where he
encountered o largely superior force OF rebels,
and after q sharp fight routed them, killing
about 100 ard taking many prisoners, among
the latter three CoIonels. Oar loss was about
fifty.

Ridge ale now enroute iorSt Louis under prop

ALBANY, March "a.
FRIEND WILLARD The past week has been
an eyentlu one at the Capital of the Empire
State. The question Of the State deences has
been settled, in effect; and next comes ON the
militia bill The question whether or not it
would be advisable TO icrtily New York harbor,
and our Northern frontier, e4ciled "a good deal
oil debate, and il was not until Speaker RAYMOND
in speech Of two hours ia length, fully land
open the soFhstry that had been used to adyo-
cate the measure, that il was allowed t. rct.
The ground now taken mere is, Jhat the State
of New York has not the right Independently Of
the United States Government, To- make such
Inconsistencies in case of invasion, or Imminent
danger OF invasion.
The Militia, which comes up as specpl order
for to-day, provides for an entire reorganization
Of the State Militia. The Adutant General, in
his annual report, presented plan for such re-
organization, drawn up 10y the Judge Advocate
General, aud upon this plan the Committee on
Militia and Publc Defense have prepared %
lengthy bill, to reorganize the Militia. Somuch
Of the hundred days allowed for the Session has
already been consumed, that it seems quite
doubtful whether the fate OF this bill may not
be like that OF similar bill! introduced in the
Vermont Legislature last Fail. An amount Of
business is now pressing, of a public nature,
that should occupy the remaining days Of The
Session and what is TO become OF the many
private interests that are seeking u hearing is
not difficult to ioresee. The hundred days does
not seem enough, and is not enough, 10 consider
SO many bills and settle questions of real i'm.
portance that have to be left from year to year
OF decided upoh without due examination The
Militia bill then must be hastily considered, and
will be disposed of as soon as possible by mem
bers whose constituents are urging them to push
through some local measure 1t Is not improb
able that s lect Committee will take tins mat
ter in hand, and leave the Assembly, at least
10 attend to other, and though less important
yet mere pressing business.
The glorious news from Manassas was received
here with cheer upon cheer, that made the Hal
ring again.

The rebels have been evacuating their Poto.

time the rebels were evacuating their stronghold
