ssNOW, BY SAINT PAUL, THE WORK
GOES BRAVELY ON!ss

Only ten months ago the Rebels fancied
themselves marching on to assured victory.
They had won the battle Of Manassas. and
were as vain-glorious as peacocks. To-day
all is changed. All their armies are in full
retreat, and are being hotly pursued into
the heart of their so-called Confederacy.
Their strongholds have fallen one by one.
Their whole sea coast is occupied by I'm
ion troops. Their great cities of Norfolk
and New Orleans and Newborn, and Nash
Vile are filled with yankee hordes. -
Their pet diabolism, Slavery. is abolished
in the District of Columbia by act of Con-
gress; in South Carolina, Georgia and Flor
ida by martial law. and fast disappearing
in West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and
Missouri. before the rising tide of public
opinion. Large and important portions of
every one of their States, except Texas, are
firmly held by the "Lincoln invaders
More than dozen of their best Gener-
ais have been killed or taken prisoners.
Their Navy annihilated, aud their stolen
wonder, the Merrimac, has been first beat
en- by the detested Yankees, and then blown
up by their own hands.
Their bogus Congress is forced TO aban-
don Richmond and "fiee into the mountains
of Hepsidam;' their ragged regiments of
conscripts. despairing and mutinous; the
barest necessaries of life at famine prices;
the common Injuries of the higher classes
not to be had at any price; and King Cot
ton himself sitting like Marius amid the
ruins of Carthage. girded (most scantily)
with sackcloth and the ashes of his ruined
throne. Thus is the Scripture fulfilled
which saith. that the hopes of the wicked
shall perish.
Meanwhile the loyal North scarce feels
the burden Of the war; her skies are bright
with hope; her gamers overflow with plen-
ty, and even those who are called to mourn
for the loss of their loved ones, draw COM
fort and Joy unspeakable from the thought
that their blood will water the tree of HUI
man Liberty into full and perfect symmetry,
and cement the glorious edi6ce of the IN
ion so firmly that it shall outlast the Pyrs-
mids.

STAND TO YOUR GUNS,

When the stolen Merrimac had attacked
the Cumberland, and with her iron snout
had laid open the side of the Inflated frigate,
the gallant tars who manned her, far from
thinking of surrender and safety. thought
only of how they might best manifest their
devotion to their flag and their country's
cause. They fred full broadside at the
iron monster, and, giving three cheers for
the old cause and the old flag, they went
down to the bottom of the bay and to the
page of history crowned with immortal
honor. They had done their duty. and they
left the result to the wise disposal of be-
nignant Providence. Their trust was well
founded, and their invulnerable iron clad
assailant is thing Of the past.
But the glorious example of those gallant
men who persisted on board the Cumber-
land will live forever in the annals of CRATE
full country, and will be told by m any a
homely Preside, and be well Inspiring of in
spiration and devotion to duty when CEN
turtles shall have elapsed.
Let the Republicans of Kansas take the
lesson to heart. If they are not ashamed
of their principles. let them stand by them
and live up to them Let no paltry per-
sonal issues divide them, and no truck
nd-dicker shysters delude them into a
union with men whose ideas and sympa-
thies are antagonistic to their own. Kansas
is the child of Republicanism "a brand
plucked from the burning pit to which the
slave propagandists had doomed her, by
the single hearted heroism and devotion
which the principles of Republicanism in
spired. Let her not fail to be true to her
glorious antecedents. Let her not blot the
fair record of her past. One man, with the
truth on his side, is majority. Let him
live by that truth, and, if necessary, die by
it. 1t will surely triumph.
Our past is full of encouragement and
inspiration-the future is full of promise.

GUNS

THE NEW FREE STATES.

The former States of South Carolina,
Georgia and Florida. which have now by
the proclamation of Gen. Hunter become
free Territory. comprise 1926 square

of slaves. so5.e75; total in 1850. 1861
1877. The black population now numbers
not far from one million of souls, and all
are made free on the instant by the edict of
Gen. Hunter.
II will be seen that the negroes thus lib.
Grated comprise very nearly if not quite a
majority of all the inhabitants, and they
certainly comprise very large majority OF
the Inhabitants Of the seaboard counties.
The territory thus dedicated to Freedom
embraces an extent of country greater than
the States of Maine. New Hampshire. Yer
mont. Massachusetts. Rhode Island. Con-
necticut. New York. New Jersey, Delaware
and Maryland. with the Kingdom of Belgi-
um or Holland into the bargain; and if the
population were as dense as it is now in
Massachusetts,. it would amount to more
than twenty-three millions. Here, then,
is room and verge enough for all the free
negroes Of Christendom. and soil enough
to produce all the cotton needed to keep the

Mutinous Rebels.

CHICAGO, May 5.
A special to the Times from Cairo, pei
steamer City of Memphis, from Pittsburg
Landing, says: We learn that on Monday
two rebel regiments from Kentucky and
Tennessee attempted to desert their cause,
and come over en- masse to the Federal ar
my. The enemy held them in check, and a
mutiny ensued. A strong force from our
advance lines was sent over to interfere, and
in short time returned with about sixty
prisoners, mostly from the ranks of the de-
serting regiments.
They gave doleful account of affairs in
Beauregard's army, sad confirm the previ-
Gus statements that the troops from the bor-
der States are anxious to return to their
former allegiance.
The story that the enemy lacks provi-
sions is denied by the deserters, who say
that there is plenty of provisions at
Corinth.
