No Compromise Row.

The war hss reached point now where
compromise is not dreamed of on either side,
and there is general conviction that some
body must be hurt-in fact, that somebody
must be whipped, before permanent peace
can follow. When it becomes necessary to
have two suns ard two moons in one hemis-
phere, it may answer to have two great re-
publics on the main body of the American
Continent; until that time shall srrive there
can be but one. This great country, which
Providence designed as home for the lovers
and martyrs of liberty from all nations, must
absorb others instead of disintegrsting itself
The South has wsged war upon passion iu-
stead of principle, aud the concession of her
demands would open the way to nothing but
anarchy, for which secession is perfect
synonym. In this contest one or the other
party must go under. May God give vic.
tory to tie right, as we have no doubt He
will

other in the way of big offers and every kind
of induce ment to obtain the privilege of

probably take the Commodore by storm, and
come bsck in triumph with the dwarf under
his arm. Commodore Mutt was born A pril

His christened name is George Washington.
He is not only good English scholar, but is
also tolerably proficient in the French Ian.

of minute humanity, being symmetrically
formed, and a most refined and polite gentle

These boats are intended to carry one very
heavy mortar each. They are hAtboats,
very strongly built, and are moved by six
oars, or Sweeps" as flatboatmen call them,
two on each side and one at each end. They
have breastworks of boiler iron seven feet
high, heavy enough to Withstand the dis
charge Of musketry and light field artillery.
They will be covered with strong awnings
to protect the men and armament from the

twenty-five feet, and they are thirty. eight

WHOLESALE KIDNAPPIEG.-The rebels are
stealing the free negroes of Southern Ken
tucky and forcing them into Confederate
slavery. The Henderson Mail states that
systematic arrangement has been made to
run off and enslsve free negroes wherever
found, and the cavalry arm of the rebel
troops is engaged in the abduction business.
The Mail of the 7th says;
We are Informed that nearly all the fee
negroes of Hopkins Christian and other
contiguous counties have been kidnapped.
1t is very probable that the negroes thus
carried away are taken TO Memphis, Tenn +,
(where Col. Forrest OF the Mississippi cav
airy, has an interest in very extensive negro
mart ard then sold into slavery. We have
heard it said that Forrest got up and partly
equipped this regiment at his own expense,
and probably more in view of speculation
than 10 aid in the rebellion. 1t is this band
of men that has supported and protected the
contraband trade in this county, Union,
Hopkins and Webster.
The Mailgives the shocking details ofsev-
eral cases where whole families have been
stolen and run South, and well asks "who
is ssfe?"

WHAT ARMY MULES EAT.--A letter from
Sherman's Brigade, Camp Morton, near
Bardstown, KY, Jan. G. says;
Besides having the wants of the men of the
regiment to supply, I have seventy. eight
mules and eleven horses to take care of. The
mules cause me more trouble than all else,
TOR the scoundrels will break loose at night
aud wander away, which causes a good deal
of trouble and confusion in the morning
Then they eat every thing. If they get short
of bay they eat the wagons. One of our
wagons bas the tongue almost eaten or /;
another has the spokes on the wheel eaten
nearly through If they are forbidden this
pleasure, they eat each others tails Since the
mule tails are shaved off, they have taken to
the horses, and now every horse in the regi.
ment is "rob taip from the same cause,
except DR.. Mscks and mine. They have al
ready disabled two or three teamsters, who,
sooner than be bothered with them, have
gone back to the ranks.

The conduct of Pennsylvania soldiers in
the war is thus alluded to by a correspond
ent of the Philadelphia Press:
know the boys who fought at Draines-
vile and fleshed their maiden swords under
General Ord, and | we'll knew when they
met the foe some body would die. must
give you an incident or two of that fight:
Charley Yahn, young m an from this viCin-
ity, was shot through the face, shattering
the jaw and knocking out teeth, making a
very ugly and painful wound. SpItting the
blood from his mouth, he handed a cart
ridge to his next neighbor, saying: II can
| fight yet if can't bite" And thus he fought
it out, getting his comrade to bite off the
cartridges; aud be is now recovering under
the hands Of the surgeon. Another was
struck over the eye by spent ball, cutting
the skin, but not entering the skull He
coolly picked up the ball, remarking: There
! is the Secession lead that struck me;" and
! put the little memento into his pocket
| This is the sort of men Pennsylvania has in
the National army.

OBJECTED TO BEING BURIED.-On Thurs
day last an unusual occurrence trauspired at
the camp of the Wisconsin Fourth Regiment,
now encamped at Patterson Park, in the
city of Baltimore. Peter Moore, one of the
privates, had been ill for several weeks. He
to all appearances died. A certificate of his
death was handed to Major Belger, who
ordered coffin for the defunct. On phurs-
day morning Moore was placed in the coffin,
al d, just as the lid was being nailed down,
he greatly frightened the bystanders by
sitting up in his coffin and exclaiming that
it was shame to bury man before he was
dead. Of course he was removed from the
box and once more placed under the care of
the doctor. Moore had laid one day and a
night as if dead, and came very near being
buried before his time. His companions
declared that as he refused to 6e buried when
the funeral was ordered by the Colonel, he
has disobeyed orders, and that when he re-
covers be shall be court martialed.

As much has been expected from the oper-
ations of this expedition, the public are
an1iously awaiting intelligence Of its where
abouts. The telegraph to-day advises us
that the expedition has entered Pamlico
Sound by Hstteras Inlet. There are two
sounds in North Carolina--Pamlico and AL
bemarle. 1t is possible portion of the ex.
pedition will, or has entered, Albemarle
Sound, which is sixty miles long by four to
fifteen wide. If so, it will doubtless seize
the railroad communications at Weldon,
near the Virginia and North Carolina line
no matter whether the lines below shall have
first been broken up or not. The main roads,
both from Richmond and from Norfolk, con-
centrate at Weldon. There is sloop naviga
ton by the Roanoke River to Halifax, twelve
miles from Weldon. There is also another
water route, ending in a longer march.
Weldon is about seventy miles by railroad
from Norfolk.
There is another route to the rear of Nor
folk. On the extreme northern arm of Abe
marie Sound is Elizabeth City, forty miles
from Norfolk The connection is by a river,
allowing craft drawing seven feet, and the
Dismal Swamp Canal, twenty-three miles
long, six and half feet deep, and forty-six
feet wide.
Pamlico Sound, the more Southern of the
two, is over eighty miles long from east to
west, and from eight to thirty miles wide,
with a general depth of twenty feet. 1t
any offensive movement is made in this
| sound, it will probably be TO seize aud break
up the railroad communication of Richmond
with all the Southern seaboard. This might
be done by going up the Ncuse River one
hundred miles from the sound to Goldsboro'
or up the Tar River eigty.fve miles to
| within fifteen miles of the road. Light
draft boats only could make the trip
| Goldsboro' is the more important, as an in
land branch strikes off there, which might bt
used by the rebels in case the road wa'
tapped higher up.
Between the two sounds, and command
ing the entrance, lies Roanoke Island
strongly fortified, and held by 1000 or 800
rebel troops. This place will have to be re
duced, and will undoubtedly provide the frs
heavy work for the expedition. The rebel
have been busy upon its defenses ever sine
the Hatteras expedition, and it must there
fore have considerable strength. The Norfoll
D0y Book Of the 9th affirmed that gunboat
had already entered the Sound for the pur
pose of making the attack, and it is possibl.
correct.
Allowing that most of the vessels of tn
Burnside expedition that have already stsrte
will 60 into the two sounds, 1t does not absc
luteIy follow that the design of front al
tack simultaneously on Norfolk has bee
given up. There are vessels still fitting ou
at Annapolis; and it il generally undersoo
that the Burnside expedition will strike i
more than one place, and, unlike some othe
expeditions, will follow up its blows.
