The following preamble and resoluton
were adopted by the A. O. Of FAa '
Masons at their Hall in Pctosi, on the ootl

1t having pleased the Great Mas,.r =
heaven and earth, to transfe- our broth.
William T. Ennor from this temporal an5
perishable Lodge on earth, where il Ias
long been our pleasure to associate with
him, to a permanent and enduring nlao.
in that celestial Lodge above not built will
hands, eternal in the heavens; and il bay
ing been our privilege to know and apnra
ciate his true character rs man, city,
and a mason, we feel called upon to give u
preston to our sorrow, and to add our ~
timony to his good words and works i
our midst. Therefore belt
RESOLVED, That in the death Of VIM y
Ennor, the Lodge has lost an efficient and
faithful brother; society a useful and ey
emplary citizen, one who 10 times past, has
creditably filed important and civil trusts
and whose loyalty TO the Government Of
his adoption was irreproachable.
RESOLVED, Thatin the character Of him
who now slumbers in that last, long unbro.
ken sleep Of death, we have witnessed much
to commend and initiate; and that the
virtues he practice when the world was
not living witness, are the best evidence
Of bis true worth, as a friend, citizen and
brother.
Resolped, That copy Of these resou.
tons be furnished TO the family of our dc.
ceased brother, with whom we EEL to sym.
pathize and mourn in this their irreparabls
loss while we point to them higher hope
and better world where the faithful bus.

ward.
Resolved, That the foregoing be pub.

SoUND4-T There is one test of uncondi-
tional loyalty that never fails; When you
find a man SO intent on finding fault with
the loyal Government that be has no waste
wrath to bestow on a conspiracy to break
up the Union and destroy the Republic, set
him down as a doubtful patriot. No man
whose heart is in the right place will permit
his hostility to be diverted from theRebelion
to those who are fighting it. He who
thinks it greater crime to arrest a Eabbler
of disioyal sentiments without educ process
.oflawn than to strike down the flag Of bis
country, will bear vigorous watching. al

RE Jefferson Davis is gradually maxim,

re- jefferson Davis is gradually making
his way towards Mexico. He made q
speech IN Murfresboro. Tennessee, and is
going to Arkansas to see Gems. Hindman
and Holmes. In bis address to the rebel
soldiers at Murfresboro, he said that the
critical moment il his history of tho Con-
federacy. bad arrived. and he relied upon
their yalor and patriotism TO sustain her
now more strongly than ever before. He
said be had left the issue 10 Virginia in the
hands of that able General Robert Z. Lee,
which was the best he could do. In the
Southwest his presence vas most needed
now. Ii is said that Davis is going to
concentrate all Of bis troops on the west
bank Of the Mississippi for desperate
struggle.

The President Rampant.

The New years Proclamation Of Free
dom will be issued without fail, and the
President is now considering its terms.
He also declares that he has determined
to garrison the Southern forts, and hold
the banks Of the great Southern rivers
with the black soldiers. The President
announces that the war shall proceed in
all its horrors upon the heads of traitors,
and without any respects for the Northern
coneiliators, or mercy towards pretend
ed but unreal friends of the border States.
Ifenough loyal white soldiers caunot be
had by volunteering, he will call upon the
loyal blacks by public proclamation to vol
unteer fof their country. He ought to
60 step further and arm the Northern
women to fight Northern doughlaces.
The men who opposed the draft are ex-
pected TO oppose arming the negroes to
fight the rebels. The men who advise
their friends to stay at home and not aid
in this "a5olition war,' are expected to
oppose tie proclamation and cry negro
equality when the loyal blacks are called
into the field. The popularity of all serni-
traitors is, that they prefer rebel white men
to loyal blacks.

The important opinion Of Attorney Gen.
Bates on the question whether cololed per-
sons can be citizens Of the United States,
written IN reply to an official inquiry Of Sec
.etary Chase. predicted on the detention OF
the schoonersElizabeth andMargaret 10y the
revenue cutter, because commanded by
colored man, co,ers t.enty-seven pages,and
argues the question with signal ability from
the beginning of our national history to the
present time, oyerturning completely the
bred Scott decision. He says as to voting
and holding office, rs that privilege is not
essential to citizenship, SO the deprivation
Of il by laW il not deprivation Of citizen
ship, no more so in case Of q negro than ~
the case Of a white woman on child; also,
that, So far as the Constitution is concerned,
it is naked assumption TO say colored per-
sons are incapable Of being cltizers OF the
United States, because the Constitution
contains not one word ON the subject. The
exclusion, If it exists at all, must rest upon
some fundamental prioiple which, in the ma
ture ofthIngs, is SO inconsistent with citizen
ship that the two cannot exist in the same
person. On the contrary there is not, and
