Apropos of negro slavery, it is not yet
six months since Colonel of the regular
army in command at Santa Fe, assumed to
commit the Judge OF probate of that coun.
ty, to the guard house, for the crime of re.
leasing a negress claimed by citizen Of
that place as a slave, after he had given
the parties ful hearing, upon hG6eas cor
pus. If you can furnish q parallel case in
Buell's army or anywhere else, New MeSi-
CO will try again; but till then we insist
that in military despotism we have been
far ahead of all parts OF the Union. Thank
God, that time has now passed. and We
have now among US men who knowing
the law, have some respect for the same
men who believe the army is supported By
government for another purpose, than to
supersede the power of courts, and decide
upon the civil rights of parties; or to
seize and return fugitive slaves.

What the Rebels say of the Recent Elec-
tiOnS.

The Richmond Wing OF Nov. sth, in
speaking of the recent Northern elections,
says they show plainly that the tide sets
all one way, and that against Abraham
Lincoln and his rampant war party. If
the electioneering assertions and appeals
of this party could be credited, this sue
cess Of the Democrats is about equal to a
declaration of peace. But they are not to
be credited, and we are not permitted to
take that comfort to our bosoms. We
have reason to hope though that with
Democratic Congress and Republican
Administration, they will regard each 9TH
er as men who are in doubt lest that to
morrow they May be cutting each others
throats.- The war will not be set forward
any. As Lit coin and his party brought
on the war and have conducted it them
selves, he people have meant by this re-
markable revolution to declare not only
their deep dissatisfaction, but to decree
that important changes shall be made, and
having found out their strength, and bav-
ing less tear of the Bastile before their
eyes, We may expect the Opposition will
now speak their sentiments with bold
ress they have not dared to venture be.

Burnside.

The country has we trust had too much
experience to manufacture any more mill
tary heroes and Young Napoleons in ac-
vance, or to bow down and worship a
General for the great deeds he is expected
to accomplish. That sort of thing is play
ed ont. While there is deep feeling of
relief and qualification, therefore, and re-
newal of confidence through the country
occasioned by the removal of MCCLELLAN,
the appointment of Gen. BURNSIDE will be
received with kind of chastened hope and
expectation wholly different from the
clamorous joy that greeted the appoint
ment of MCCLELLAN and FREMONT last
year, True he has given higher evil
dence of generalship than either of
those commanders, but more trying
service is now before him than he has yet
experienced. The American people will
discount no more military fame in advance.
At least we trust they will not, but wait
hopefully and cheerfully for actual deeds,
and place no laurels upon any brow until
they are actually won,
The address of Gen. BURNs1DE, on taxi
ing command, is calculated to Inspire hope.
1t is modest, patriotic, and in good taste.
1t has neither the affected Napoleonisln of
MCCLELLAN nor the impudent swagger of
POPE. 1t makes no promises of "driving
the enemy to the WALL or keeping them
upon their "lines of retreat" but it may
happen that rebels and traitors will be
more sharply pushed under this modest
manifesto than ever they were by Gener-
ais who were prcdigal of promises and on
ly niggardly i'll performance.

A Flank Movement,

Wherever States have permitted their
soldiers to vote, the result has shown that
from fve-sixths to seven-eighths of the
volunteers are Republicans. This suf-
fciently explains the Democratic gains in
the Northern States. Or when it does
not. stuffed ballot-boxes and illegal voting
will account for the additional discrepan-
cy. But the same causes which have
weakened the Republicans at the North,
lave shorn the Democracy of the Border
States of portion of its strength. If
Republicans have rushed to the defence of
the Union from the free States with great
er alacrity than their opponents, SO Dem
ocrats in the Border States have surpassed
all in the zeal with which they have hast
ened to the support of the rebellion
Missouri, Maryland, Kentucky, Western
Virginia and Delaware have all helped to
swell the ranks of JEFF. DAVIS army, and
every traitor of lawful age who has
thus left those States is a Democrat
ic voter lost. Thus it happens that
while the free States show a diminished
Republican vote, the Democracy have sus.
tanned a serious diminution Of numbers
in the Border States; and the recent cleo
tions while disclosing Republican losses
in the North, show also Democratic losses
in the Border States. 1t is a species OF
flank movement by which the Republicans
without losing their performance in the
free States, are beginning to establish
themselves and their principles below
Mason and Dixon's line. Little Delaware
defeats the Dem ocratic candidate for gov
ernor, and only elects Democratic mem
Der of Congress by a beggarly majority of
twenty-three. BIT in Missouri the most
signal victory has been won. 1t is be-
lieved that an emancipation legislature has
been elected, and the delegation in the
next Congress is reported as follows:
LIST District-Francis P. Blair, jr., Rep.
I'd g Henry Il. Blow, Emancipationist.
3rd Sc William Lawson, Rep.
4th John s. Phelps, Dem.
5th j. NJ. McClurg, Emanbipationist.

TROUBLES OF FiFTErN-INoH CAUSE.-THE
new Monitor, has made another
trial of her ffteen-inch gun. A skilltui
gunner might throw a shell into portfolio
large enough for these guns therefore the
portfolio was fitted for firing through with
out protuding the gun, being little larger
than the ball. The first fire was as much
as the crew cared to risk in that exper:-
ment The smoke and flame filled the tur-
ret. Then fange was fitted to the muzz!e
of the gun and the curve of the turret to
inclose the space. The last trial was Of
this continuance. Thirty-ive pounds of
powder and hollow shot were used. The
conclusion lifted the perforated shield
plates on top of the turret, one OF which
fell on Capt. WoRDEN's foot. The volume
of flame from the muzzle set the tackle for
hosting the shot on fire, burned the eye
brows and hair of one of the gun crew,snd
the force of the gas tore IF the t1auge. 1t
was found also that although the extra
fiange might fit the inside curve of the
turret, the gun must reooil before the
charge LETT it. 1t was rather queer that
ordnance officers should have to expert
ment to find that out. The result proved
that the portfolio must be enlarged so as to
let the muzzle of the gun protrude, or some
sliding arrangement like the joints of
telescope must be contrived to keep up
the connection with the portfolio while the
gun recoils.
The turrets of all the nine iron clad
Ericsson batteries are bored like the Pas.
sale. Mr.. ERICSSON hopes to find rem
edy for the difficulty, but if he does not
succeed, they will have to be bored wild
er, which will lead to a delay Of two or
three weeks In the meantime, the time
is up during which they we're to be COM
pleted. In addition to this, the Passaic
fails to realize expectations in regard to
speed, making only about seven knots in
smooth water.

AN IMPORTANT TRUrH.-Macaulay, in
his review Of Hallam's Constitutional His
tory, makes use of the following language:
"If there be any truth established by
the universal experience of nations, it is
this that to carry the spirit OF peace into
war is weak and cruel policy. The
time of negotiation is the tiu1e for deliber-
ton and delay. But when an extreme
case calls for that remedy, which is in its
own nature most violent, and which, in
such cases, is a remedy only because it is
violent, it is idle to think of mitigating
and diluting. Languid war Gan do moth
ing with negotiation or Submission will
not do better; and to act on any other
principle is not to save blood and money
but to squander them" raa~Fy r,a

GAR1BALpI IN CRITICAL CONDITION.
The health of Garibaldi is represented by
the last accounts from Europe, as alarm

we'll. The state of his health is improved,
but the papers still express much sppre-
hension.

From the Milwaukee Wisconsin, 18th.
By the driver of the mail coach from
Port Washington we learn the following
facts
The driver left there at a. m. to day.
Last night the rioters tried to destroy the
pier, in order to prevent landing by the
boats. They failed in this, however, but
sacked a warehouse at or near the pier,
and emptied it of considerable quantity
of wheat. The warehouse belonged to
man named Blake. Considerable of the
p er was torn away as 1t was.
The boats landed at Port Ulao, and two
companies marched around in the rear OF
the town, while the boats proceeded with
the other four companies to the front o.
the town, and il this manner they sue
ceeded in surrounding the place, and cap
turing fifty of the rioters.
The LuXem bourge-s were exceedingly
frightened when they found the troop"
advancing upon them, and endeaVored t.
escape, but JAILED in every quarter. The
troops established pickets about the place,
and the stage driver in coming away was
stopped, and compelled to return and &c
an order from the Provost Marshal.
The law is that all who resist the drat
shall be taken to the nearest military sta
ton, and placed IN the army. We hop"
to see these men treated as the law dl

News FROM THE ScUTH.-We had the
pleasure yesterday of meeting our es-

Express Co.. at Memphis, who arrived
here yesterday evening on short visit to
his family and friends.
Mr.. Fish left Memphis on Friday even

safest place in the world. He enter
tains high opinion of Gen. Sherman,
and says the city is so fortified that no
possible hostile force could hold it He
confirms the account of the defeat of
Price, and the present safety of all the
points held by our army in Tennessee,
Mississippi, and Arkansas. Mr.. Fisk, as
all can testify, left here strong Union
man, but no comparison to what he re-
turns. He has seen some of the secret
workings of secession, and his soul alb
hors it But his detestation of those in
our midst who basely sympathise with
and panders to the traitors Of the South
is beyond expression. He thinks, and
