The Mortar Flosiila.

The Pittsburgh Chronicle accounts as
follows for the MOI progress Of the Missis-
sippi mortar boats We simply do not
credit it:
eve have been for some time aware
that the heavy mortars cast at the Fort
Pitt Works for the mortar boats built at
ST Louis, did not 80 West, as were in
tended, but were transporter East; and
are to be used in the Burnside Expedi-
ton, we believe. They were entirely too
large for the st. Louis boats. Their re-
coil is terrible, and would have either sunk
or shattered the nondescript concerns SC
injudicioasly built at ST. Louis. We are
not surprised to learn, therefore, m we dc
by late letter, that Gen. Hallcck has do
cided not to use the far-famed St. Loui.
mortar boats. They now lie at thu
wharyes. a monument Of crude and i'll
disested designs, and proof Of how Uncle
Sons money can be dissipated among un
worthy fayorites."

PROM ST. LOUIS.

st. Louis, FEB. /.
Intelligence from southwestern MIS-
souri, indicates that Sc yersl days may elapse
before the occurrence Of anything lmPor-
tant.
Commodore Foote being in want OF men
for the gunboat service, Gen. Hallek has
issued a general order in which command.
ers serving in the department are ordered
to take immediate steps to ascertain what
men in their respective commands desire
to be transferred to the gunboat service.
Care must be taken in selecting and pre-
ference be given to men best fitted for
such service. The men selected are or
dered to report to Lieut.. j. W. Bracket,
u. s. A., St Louis, by whom they will
be enrolled and shipped. A list OF mer
furnished from each command in writing
in each case the Company and Regimen
is to be sent to headquarters, that orders
directing such transfer may be issued
without delay.

When the Erickson left Hatteras In.

When the Erickson left Hatteras In
Ict the weather was too rough to iand
troops, and Mr.. Taylor snys he was ac-
co,npanied by detective to Norfolk, VINO
was very watchful not to let him carry
any papers with him. From this It IS
supposed they must have obtained some
important information.
1t was understood at Richmond that
Gen. Beauregard would reach there on
Saturday on his way to Kentucky The
opinion al Richmond was that the Merri-
mac was failure.

ton.
A prisoner Of war, named Taylor, Of
Cincinnati, arrived here by flag Of truce
from Richmond. He says that General
Beauregard has left for Kentucky, taking
with him $4,000 men from Manassas, and
that JEFF. Davis is to take command in
person Of the troops at Manassas after bis
Inauguration AZ President on the ed Of
February. The greatest panic prevails at
Norfolk and Richmond ia regard to the

this crisis, would abolish slavery q the
tower and support Of this infurrection -
| He would arm the free people ef color, as
lie did at New Orleans. He would march
into the heart Of slayedom. not TO pick
cotton and open ports for trade, but TO put
weapons into every freedman's hnnds.--
He would end the war by wholesome
hanging of the leaders. In three months,
with one hundred thousand soldiers, he
would have put down the rebellion. The
necessity Of dictatorship is evident to
snatch the nation from the jaws OF death
May this necessity never again arise Tor
it is MS fearful as the instruction OF Jeif.
Davis and Beaurcgnrd. The eneis great
est for good, the other for mischief. The
power is given to suppress the rebellion
hence, also, the power Of emancipation,
even if the Constitution were silent on this
power, and it became necessary for the
safety OF the people The first law Of ma
ture would give it. It might be asked,
Why liberatc the slaves Of all instead Of
con6ning it TO those Of rebels only! There
would be great difficulty in executing such
a law. Perjury, fraud, and falsehood
would screen half the guilty. Our object
should be, not only to end this terrible
war, but to prevent its recurrence
Slavery is the cause Of it. Hatch up =
compromise now, and leave this germ of
evil behind, and il will soon again overrun
the whole South. Even if you freed three
fourths Of The slaves, You would have ex-
pended countless treasures and untold
lives in vain. would do no injustice 10
LOYAL men, and though not recognizing the
right.of one man to hold another as mere
property, I would troas loyal shareholders
fairly BY pisdging the faith of the nation
for their compensation. The war j. now
costing at the rate Of 1--WE hundred millions
a wear. Deisct the price Of the slaves in
the border States from one years expense
OF the war, and il would show balance
in favor Of emancipation of four hundred
Millions Manumit the slaves and the
var would end in six months. Leave
them 70 the rebels, and | doubt if six
wears will end 1t. Six years, with slavery
and debt Of two billions. Tender heart
ed Christians, merriful Statesmen, bensv-
client philanthropists! Let the people
know that this government is fighting, not
only to enforce 4 sacred compact, but to
carry out to final perfection the principles
| Of the Declaration Of Independence. Let
tho sword 90 forth In one hand and tbe
book Of freedom in the other, and the
army will soon sweep despotism and re-
bellion from every corner ofthis continent
Thus would benign Providence bring
| incalculable good out Of this mighty evil.
What an opportunity is presented to this
