There Is great activity al the Philadeiphi IA

pairs TO the sloaps-of war Brooklyn and St
Louis viii be completed in three or four weeks
A number of gunboats Of various sizes are also

F The way the Naval officers on board the
blockading squadron receive news from New
+ Orleans Is thus referred 10 in a communication
from one OF the vessels off that port: The
officers and crew of the blockading squadron
wish TO thank their friends in New Orleans,
and on the Mississippi, Tor the news sent TO
them in bottles, sealed and tioated down the
river, and can best do so through the New
York Herald, which is so much read every
where. Now that we know that the bottles
are coming, we are constantly on the lookout
for them They bring Us late and welcome
news. Light bottles are the best, such as
claret, hook or champagne, which may be filed
With slips from newspapers and letters, and ii
properly sealed they reach Us safe and dry.
We would ask all our Union friends IN New
! Orleans, Cairo, and in Commodore Foote's
squadron, TO send Us news in bottles, foated
down the river, and We may. at times, coope-
rate with them in giving fire to fire eaters,
those unfoTtunates of the South, who suffered
SO much from cur oppressive Government.
The Washington correspondent of the New
\ Iork Times says:
1t will be recoIlected that in June last it was
announced in the Times that a newspaper,
published at Alamo, Texas, even at that late
date, contained an article taking strong grounds
in favor of the Union, a caustic criticism Of
the rebel military movement in that State, and
patriotic poem copied from the New York
Evening Post F: and further, that on the mar
gin of the paper was written memorandum,
in pencil to the effect that the day after pub
/ lcation the office had been burned.
Intelligence just received by letter from
Texas, through Mexico states that soon after
the destruction of the office. Newcomb, the
editor, disappeared, and has never since been
heard Of 1t was rumored that he had been sent
off to Mexico but as he had never been heard
of since, it was generally believed that he had
been murdered
CAIRO Dec. ). 186I.-By Memphis papers
I OF Monday morning we have information that
the loyal men Of East Tennessee on Monday
last attacked the force of the rebels at Morris
town, completely routing them, aud killing Il
large number. No particulars are given, but
| rebel accounts say that they have suffered Sc
verely.
The defeat has caused great Indignation, and
the rebel papers advocate the hanging of every
East Tennesseean who is found loyal TO his
country. The affair evidently irritates them
sorey and great excitement is the conse-
quence.

Mr.. RICHARD JENKINS, Of South Caro-
lima, pullished tract in 1860, entiiled'
aThe South alone should govern the
South" which was widely circulated
by the Secession Clubs, over all the Slave
States. In thin tract Mr.. JENKINS affected
10 think that diSunion would not be fol-
lowed BY civil waS. lie said "Ithink

ers in all quarters repoated this assat-
ance that there would be no war in con-
sequence Of secession, sud thousands
were caught In the net Of treason, firmly
believing that disunion would be as
bloodlcss a work as an ordinary political
nomination. Alas, how quickly this
delusive dream was broken by the roar
Of guns at Fort Sumter, destined TO be
followed by louder echoes from many a
field Of carnage. The Charleston Colris
said lately, with sardonie grin, in allu-
sion to Southern leaders. who flippantly
said that ali would be WELL

Not quite, we think. Blood enough
has been poured out from the veins o
American citizens to slake the thirst o
these creatures, even if they we're ghost
and vampires; blood enough 10 float th
Monitor; blood enough to tinge the Gull
stream with its blush, from its source {,

what Rebel Paper Says of the
Great Italian Patriot, Garibaldi.

The last crusade Of this ADVENTURE
has come 20 an inglorious end. Wounded
and a prisoner, he will End few sympa-
thizers, except in the kindred North,
which at one time was eager enough 20
have him at the head of the Federal
army. The South has seen enough Of
European revolutionists 70 understand
that they are as selfish and as heartless
as the despots whom they seek 70 over
throw, and only intensity the suiierings
Of the people by fruitless efforts at a
change which il impracticable. We
trust we have heard the last Of Garibaldi.
--Maeon (Ga.) Telegraph.
Friends Of liberty, what think you Of
such atrocious language applied to one
of the noblest and loftiest patriots Of the
ags--0aribaldi, the great republican Of
Itiy? Is IL true that the republicans
Of Europe are cas- selfish and as heart
less as the despots whom they seek 70
overthrow p Is it thus you speak Of
Robert Emmett, the martyr patriot Of
Ireland, who gave himself as an offering
to freedom in the morning of his man
hood Is It thus you speak Of Mitchell
and Of Moagher DO you, indeed, think
with this rebel organ that the people Of
Euyope, oppressed by kings and mobiles,
are As well of as they can be, aud that
all Efforts 10 change their condition will
be fruitless? If you do, then you are
not inspired with that hope which ami
mates the hearts of all true lovers Of
liberty, that the march Of improvement
will ultimately overthrow all hereditary
governments, and place political power
where II rightly resides, in the hands o.
the people
No friend Of liberty could ever have
written the paragraph quoted in refer
ence TO Garibaldi for it is a denuncia-
ton not merely of one man, but of th,
whole body Of those daring men in Eu
rope, who, oppressed beyond endurance
have endeavored to do as our Washing
ton and jefferson did, to cast off che yok
of kings and noblemen. There is n
sympathy among the Southern leader
for freedom and free institutions
