Advices from Hatteras state that loyal
blacks from North Carolina helped to man the
fleet Of Flag officer Goldsborough, and to
serve the guns which have sunk rebel gun
boats, and compelled the surrender of Roam
oke nd.-Telegraph Dispatch, Feb. II.
So it appears from the above that the ex-
pertinent of farming the slaves has been
practically tested, and the thing found to pay.
Your neighbor of the Enquirer, and kindred
prints, will no doubt 60 into spasms over the
atrocities" aud demouiac acts of the contra.
bands aforesaid, while fighting against their
former masters. And they actually 'served
the guns" which sunk rebel gun.b boats p
What fepdish act Nothing but their
speedy return to a life Of servitude on some
cotton plantation will appease the cry of
vengeance on their woolly heads by the
snti-arm the-slave party.
Those who advocated tho use of slaves in
putting down the rebellion, favored their use
thus far and no farther. 1t was never pros
posed to put bowie. knives in their hands
and bid them silly assassinate their masters
aud mistresses. This was the assertion of
knaves and demsgogues-many of them
sympathizing with the Iebels-knowing, as
they did, that the blacks, ifproperly used by
the military arm, would be a powerful
auxiliary in putting down the rebellion.
None of those atrocities which they fain
would charge them with, could be com
mitted under the rules of war; and women
and children are not supposed to be found
on the battle field, and therefore could not
be hurt any more by negro than a white
man. And as for the white male rebels, l
look upon them as being no better than their
negro slaves; and the latter have clear
right by the Constitution and laws of the
land to take the life of the former in fair
contest in an open fight. He thereby not
only Furnishes the traitor to his country, but
asserts and maintains his own right to free
dom, and merits the praise, "WeH done thou
good and IdithfuL serUantN DELHI.

General HItchcOck-The Tennessee liver
Expedition.

ST. LOUIS, February l2.-The Republican
learns that General Hitchcock has accented
the appointment of Major General of voiun-
teers. Should General Haleck take the field
in command of the great Southern expedi-
ton, which is regarded probable, General
Hitchcock will remain at the head of the
department here.
Official dispatches from Lieutenant Phelps,
commanding the gun boat CoaeSt9gd, re-
ceived at headquarters here, confirm pre-
yious reports of the result of the Tennessee
River expedition.
The steamers burned by the rebels were
laden with military stores Two hundred
stand of arms considerable quantity of
clothing and stores were captured, and Colo
mel Crews encampment at Savannah de
stroyed. Lieutenant Phelps also reports
finding the Union sentiment very strong
along the river.

How TO RAISE THE TAx.-There is a law
on the statue books of Massachusetts impo-
sing a fine of not less than one dollar, nor
more than five, for every profane oath ut
tered. The Boston Journal thinks due en-
forcement of this law would raise to tax
quota of Massachusetts, and leave balance
to spare.
Just let the Union army whip out the
Rebels at every point, and We judge the
Journals estimate would entirely fail. But
if the army were to stick in the mud for q
month to come, it might prove correct.

The Washington Republican says:

During the month of January, John @.

Globe, of this city, distributed the sum OF
$l,47O 10 the families of the privates in the
First District Regiment, now stationed On
the Washington Branch Railroad, between
this city and Beltsville. Mr.. Rives obligated
bimself in September last, to pay to the wife
of each volunteer from this District, $40 per
month, and TO each child 81 per month.
Since that time he has expended among the
families,of the soldiers nearly $1,000.

Mhat nre we FishtIna forS

The object of the war is simple and well
understood, to.wt: to suppress the rebellion
snd so preserve the integrity of the nation
Beyond this nobody ought to ask the Gov
err lment 10 go; and toward this it is the duty
of the Government to Dress forward, paus.
ing at nothing. State rights can not be
allowed TO stand in the way, and accord
ingly States have been invaded against the
protests of their local governments; nor can
personal rights be permitted to interpose in
the way of the nations actions for self
preservation, and accordingly the people
have quietly submitted to see the writ of
hdbedS corpus indefinitely suspended. In
like manner must the institution of slavery
yield to the exiRencies of war.
To declare a war of emancipation as such,
is DO part of the duty of the Government,
but 1t would be the worst of treason to
fail, out of regard to slavery, to employ any
means that setmed likely to be useful toward
putting down the rebellion. Considered as
properly, which slaves legally are, they are as
liable to coDfscatiou as any other property;
considered as persons, they should be made
available in the most feasible method for the
maintenance Of the Government. If there
IS any one protesting TO be a friend to the
Union, who would hesitate to defend il at
the risk of the extinction of slavery, he is
false to his professions, and traitor to his
country. This subject should be looked
fairly in the face. If there are those among
our public men whose feslty to the country
is subordinate to their love of slavery, let it
be known that true men may know who are
the conditional traitors, and guard against
their evil Vaccinations.
These are some of the chief points OF the
situation" 1t is evident that the country
has business of no mean proportions upon
its hands, and that all its energies are called
for to preserve and defend itself. Against
the armed rebellion there is but little to
fear, if there shall not be found an invincible
array of treacbery and imbecitity at home.
Our trust is 10 Cox, and we await the result
with but slight misgivings. Herald.

IMPORTANT RBsoLuTroEs.

Senator Sumner will to morrow introduce
series Of resolutions, to the preparation of
which he has given much time and thought,
and which are approved in principle by
leading Republicans in and out of Congress ..
They are "declaratory of the relations be-.
tween the United States and the territory
once occupied by certain States, and now
usurped by pretended governments, withs
out constitutional or legal right" In gems
'eral terms they declere that the rebel States
have committed feLo de Sc; that with their
death as States their peculiar institutions,
including that of slavery, have died also,
and that therefore the U6ited States can in.
stitute new governments over the territory
which they once occupied, and that slavery
can have no constitutional or legal existence
therein.
