News From secesia.

We learn from rebel sources that the
fire at Nashville Tenn, the night Of Dec.
23d destroyed property to the value of
nearly million of dollars. 1t originated in
the ordinance department owing 10 the
negligence of subordinate. There was
an immense amount of shot and shell and
fuses of the superior French pattern con-
tanned in some of the departments destroy
ed. Several hundred heavy guns were
also rendered valueless.
Forty-eight Union prisoners were sent
from Knoxville TO Tuscaloosa, Ala, Dec.
2sth. They were mostly East Tennes-
scans who have stood by the old flag
which unfortunately failed to afford protec-
ton. That it did not, is due to the "mas-
terly inactivity of officers and not to the
lack of will on the part Of privates.
The Charleston Lighthouse on Morris
Island which for many years had guided
the mariners to Charleston harbor, was
blown up by the rebel military authorities,
Dec. 26th. 1t is heap of ruins. The
blowing up looks as though the rebels
feared the city might be blown down.
The Charleston Courier appears TO look
upon the sinking Of the stone fleet in the
channel to the harbor very complacently.
1t supposes the fifteen vessels sunk will
blockade 5000 feet and states that Char
lesion harbor has water front of about
six miles, with numerous passages TO and
from the sea. The first heavy north-easter
it says will dissipate the distinctions.
The Bank of Tennessee, at Nashville Is
issuing notes from one dollar down TO five
cents!

The War Madness iu Canada.

Tne Toronto Globe of the 2sth gives
unmistakable evidence of the great military
activity in the Province Two of its
large columns are nearly occupied with
notices of local military movements. The
sedentary military of Toronto composed
of seven battalions are preparing for reg.
ular pdrill. Volunteers companies are
springing up rapidly aud paradlng with
drum and fife. The employees of the
Grand Trunk Railway, the Students Of tho
St. Georges Society have each formed
rifle companies. A naval brigade cavalry
sappers and miners and field batteries ale
among proposed the organizations.
The papers on the opposite side ofour
lake talk warlike. and speak of fresh activ-
ity in military matters. Gen. Williams
Cnmmander-;nchief in Gnnady has re-
Gently visited the principal towns for the
purpose of looking after and locating for
lifcatious and he war fever has been fed
by his presence. Nearly every town puts
in strong claim for appropriations and
troops and extra zeal and loyalty are re-
garded as potent influences to secure the
coveted Government patronage. Gen. Will
liams has decided 10 make Collingwood
naval depot for Lake Huron. He las
given directions for the construction OF
two batteries for the protection of the har-
Dor, one to be located at or near the old
Hurontario Mills, about mile to the east
ward of the town, and the other on one of
the group of islands known as the "Hen
and Chickens" about three miles from
shore 10 tie westward.
Ii is stated that the Canadian troops in
the snowy regions of the Lower Prorinse
have had new addition 10 their arma-
ment in the shape of gun-sleighs and that
a contract to furnish them has recently
been awarded to carriage builder firm in
Montreal.

<tNhat 10 do with the Darkiesn

A writer in the new Continental Month
ly has new plan of settling the question
of the disposal of the negro. He would
not eolonize them according to the sugges-
tion Of the Presidents Message, because
1seight and half Great Easterns, each
mixing one trip per month, could only ex-
port the annual increase of our Sou uthern
slaves Il IS proposed that they be at
liberty 10 all centre in one State and that
Ttate be South Carolina! In showing the
justice of the proposal, it is said that if the
present occupation by our troops continue
much longer, there will be no white men
left IN that State, neither is it likely that
they will ever return. Terror and pride
compined Will ever keep the native whites
from re+populatipg that region. And, as
South Batolina1 was especially the, State
which brought about this war for the ex-
press purpose of making the black man
the basis of the society of that State,
there would be wonderful propriety in
carrying out that theory TO perfection, and
making the neero not only the basis of
The society of that State, but the whole
structure of society,-top, bottom and
sides. South Carolina produces cotton
and rice and would, therefore, furnish the
negro population with the means of life
and requisites of trade. The harbor of
Charleston having been sealed up by the
Federal huIks, these articles would have
10 be exported by way of Beaufort, but
this, if we can Judge from the focking of
the negroes to that port since its occupa-
ton by Federal troops, would no: be dis
tasteful to the citizens of the colored
State. All the warehouses which are left
from the great fire, could be usee for sto-
rage, and if these were not enough, Forts
Moultrie and Sumter, rendered useless now
by the sunken ships, could each contain
vast quantities of the reserve crop. The
Charleston Mercury might be improved
by having colored editors and publishers,
Whilst white offenders against the laws
could occupy the jais and the cells which
have shut in the groaus and sufferings Of
the slaves. How does South Carolina like

Rebels Going 10 Europe.

The State Department has been informs
ed that route exists through Canadab
by which emissaries from the Confederates
escape TO Europe. Measures have been
taken to cut off this means of communi-
cation. Parties from Secessia, if only able
TO reach Chicago or Detroit, and thus get
into Canada, proceed by the Grand Trunk
Railway TO point where they take colo
NAL mail route, not much used, by which
they reach New Brunswick, whence they
90 direct TO Halifax. 1t is comparatively
easy to get into Canada through Illinois,
Ohio or Michigan, and once within the
British provinces. the rebel travels to Eu-
rope unmolested.

Gen. Lane and Gen. Phelps.

The member of Congress-Mr. Clark
from the Jefferson District, N. Y, in a
letter TO his paper, the Watertown Jour
nal, dated Christmas, says:
Senator Lane has left the Senate and
has gone home to resume bis command,
with Major Generals commission in his
pocket. This act on the part of the Gov
ernment, after his late able speech in the
Seate, in which be declared that he would
prosecute the war with view only to
crush out rebellion, letting Slavery take
care of itself, indicates pretty well that the
Administration is not as tender-footed on
that subject as it has been. We think the
time for returning fugitives who come into
our camps has gone by. Even Gen.
Phelps has not been recalled, and Secrela-
~ Cameron said two or three days since,
that he would not be, and that his doctrine
met bis appreciation.
We learn, too, from reliable source,
that Gen. Lane submitted his plan of the
campaign to The President, the Cabinet
and Gen. Mcclellan, and it was most cor
daily approved by them all. This he de-
termined to do that a perfect understand
ing of his policy might be known.
The Pittsburgh Gazette of this morn
ing (Sd) says:
Gen. Lane. has been assigned a COM
mand in Kansas and Western Missouri.
II is understood that he will, with the ap-
probation of the Government, make the
experiment of employing slaves of rebels
IN his military operations in the Vest, us
ing them III the transportation and com
mlssary departments mainly. BY taking
hand-mills, it is thought that slaves can
grind corn enough daily to subsist the ar

Western Virginia News.

Secession has been scotched in Western
Virginia, not killed. The rebels lose no
opportunity of mischief, and will not as
long as they are sworn and let 90. The
Wheeling Lnfetligencer of The 4th says:
Information was received in the city
yesterday that day or two since train
of Government wagons, fifty in number,
were captured between Weston and Sut-
ton by the secessionists. The information
is that fifteen of the drivers were killed
The rebels took all of the valuables from
the train and burned the wagons.
1t Is also reported that the Norton Cav
airy, Capt. Yves. Rowan, OF this city, were
recently captured at Shtton by superior
force of rebels, and that the town of SUIT
ton was destroyed.
Other rumors of secession depredations
in that country are also prevalent, and it
is evident that large force of rebels have
found their way into this comparatively
unprotected country, ahd are making a
desperate effort 10 repossess the territory.
The rebel raid upon Sutton is confirm
ed by later accounts. 1t has been consid-
cred safe from rebel attack since the flight
of Floyd, and was held by single cavalry
company, the Captain and First Lieuten-
ant of which were absent The assailing
party was 500 strong, and the Second
Lieutenant held the Notifications about six
hours against the superior force. Amnu-
milton giving out, the small Union force
retreated and the rebels burned the town,
sparing but two or ihre horses The rebels
followed on towards Weston, and burned
the two churches at the fiat woods, eight
miles from Sutton. All the Government
property at Sutton was DESTROYED.

NEWSPAPER BED BLANKErs.-llere is new
idea just put forth by an exchange paper 1t tells
its readers that a. winter is coming, and quilts,
comforters and blankets are expensive, it may
be well enough for them to know that common
newspapers make very good addition to the
bed covering. Several papers can be pasted at
the edges to form large single sheet, to spread
on the outside Of bed or even under the outside
cover. The paper itself is a good non-conductor
and aids to retain much of heat that would other
wise escape. much more effective covering is
made by placing two OF the large pasted sheets
together aud fastening them at the edges, and at
few other points. The thin space of air be-
tween the sheets is an admirable non-conductor.
A cover of this kind is quite as effective as
closely woven wOolen blanket. We have heard
OF an overcoat lined with paper, stitched to the
inside. Those who have not tried it will be sur
prsed at the effectiveness of these bed coverings
which can be prepared in few minutes from
newspapers that would otherwise 80 to waste
