4 few days since we announced that the pro-
peIty of the Hon Andrew Johnson, ot Tennessee,
to the amount of thirty thousand dollars, had
been confiScated by the Rebels. for the great

1t is a pity that all such anH-coercionlsts could
not have presented to their lips the same bitter

Mr.. F0RNEY ON THE SLAVERY PROBLEM

posed Of by military necessities and the course
Of events II slaves come within our lines from
the plantations beyond the lines. use them If
they bring information, act upon their informa-

If necessary. arm them. If they are the slaves
of the rebels, free them take Camerons plan.
or Fremonts plan Or any plan that is ust and
feasible. Remember our obligation to our friends
in the border States Remember that rebels
forfeit all their nights, and it is proper to turn
those forfeited rights to the use OF the Govern
ment they are endeavoring to destroy The
theory on which this war is prosecuted is a
theory assuming the existence ola usurped ty-
ranny in certain portions OF the Union, which
keeps in hraldom large portion of our loyal
people. and declares the purpose OF the war to
he the termination Of thIs tyranny by utterly
conQurrIng and eXterminatng hose maintain.
lug il. Wherever slavery interferes with this
purpose, let slavery be abolished, just rs we
abolish the rebels right to life liberty, proper

tIouaD right. however disagIeeable and injurious
it may be, we are bound 10 respect and recog-
njze it when in the possession OF loyal men.

accomnoissanceso OF Fors Donelsom

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 10.-The RepubAcan'S spe-
cial says the army is still encamped at Fort
Henry, and operations for further movements
go vigorously forward The river is high and
a part of Fort Henry is overfowed. Six more
regiments are expected to arrive from Cairo in
few days, An unfinished fertilization, called
Fort Holman, opposite Fort Henry. has been
taken possession of.
The panic is so extensive in Tennessee that
the river is considered open for Union fleets 70
its head waters.
The state garrison of Fort Henry have taken
refuge at Fort Doneson. making the force there
between 1000 and 5000.
southern mail was captured by Captain
Logan. It. contained letters from high officers
speaking of the demoralizing effect Of the defeat
at Somerset and stating that another at Fort
Henry would be almost irreparable.
The rebel steamer Orr. on being chased by
the gunbOat C0ncstoga, was fired by her crew
and abandoned. Several other steamers are
SAID to have fallen into the hands of the gun
boats Conestoga and Lexington. The gunboats
sent up the Tennessee will probably go as far
as Florence, Aiabama.
The Democrats special dated Fort Henry, to-
day, says hundred men of the Second Illinois
Cavalry, on a accommodating expedition this
morning, met a company of the enemy's horse,
charged them and killed and took Is prison
ers, Their captain among them. Only one OF
our men was wounded.
In consequence Of Gen Smiths appointment
not having been confirmed by the Senate. that
gentleman has transferred the comma I'd of his
division to Gen. Lew. Wallace. and will leave
for Paducha tomorrow Gems. Grant and Nc
CIernand teIegraphed to Washington vouching
for Gen. Smiths loyalty and eificisncy, and urg-
ing that the Senate reconsider its action.
Gen. Grant and staff made a Reconnaissance in
the vicinity of Fort Donelaon, to-day.
The steamer w. II. b returned from the rail
road bridge with lot of horses, wagons, com
nlssaSy stores, &c.
