Spring Trade Mississippi River Far-Debts.

The Mississippi rifer is opening north
ward and southwark -north by the suns
heat and return Of spring, south by Com
modore Foote's gun fleet and Lincon's
northern hordes. By sometime in APril
we think the great commercial artery will
be free and nayigable by loyal men from
ST. Paul to New Orleans, and that only
traitors RAY not reap the advantages. In
anticipat ION Of an early freedom Of the
Mississippi river the rail roads are reducing
their FIRE. chit tariffs which have 50 long
amounted to an almost entire prohibition
of trade between the west and east. The
effects Of blockade Of the Mississippi riy-
Ell have been seen and dearly felt. May a
Tx misfortune be far distant
Prices are advancing slightly on grain.
We have no means of knowing this week
the figures paid for produce, only that pri-
ces are on the rise. The future is subject
to SO many IFS and doubts that We dare
not promise much to encourage, though
nothing discouraging is visible cr seems
probable The war is in the hands Of God
and Government, the plans Of both being
sealed Apccalyptics. We have faith in the
first, because He..never errs; the latter is
exercising extreme caution, and we fear is
more devoted to narrow expediencies than
to Righteousness, in which case God will
scatter to the winds these works Of men
and brass. The Higher Law must be
o5eyed, if our country would triumph over
the rebels. The country is we'll clothed
and pri1isoned, and would be rich and
able to pay all taxes for this rebel war, but
for those debts SO unnecessarily contracted,
by which many men own their neighbors
financially,

The President for Freedom.

We never printed a State paper with
more satisfaction than we feel in giving 10
our readers the special message OF President
Lincoln to Congress yesterday, by which
he recommends the passage Of a joint res
olution profering National cooperation,
and pecuniary and to each and every State,
which shall see fit to inaugurate the AbO.
lition of Slavery within its border. This
Message constitutes of itself an epoch in
the history Of our country. 1t has no.
precedent; we trust it may havs many
consequents. 1t Is the day-star Of new
Nation that it is highly desirable that the
Union be purged Of Slavery, it would be
great fact, of far weightier Importance
than many battles. But it is not destined
to remain uufruitful. Congress will DO
more than ready to welcome and act upon.
it. 1t will lead to practical results, and
these the most important and benehclent.
The 9th Of March will yet be celebrated
as day which initiated the Nations de-
Hyerance from the most stupendous wrong
curse and shame Of the Nineteenth Uentu-

boldly contemplated in this Message shall
be fully attained; but let US never harOOr
doubt that it will ultimate in GLORIOUS

Fremont.

Those who were led by West Point in
fuences to f,lter in their high regards for
John G. Fremont, and through the infa-
nous report Of General Thomas to believe
him incompetent, may now safely return to
their former faith in the man. He as
sumes a command the same in rank as be-
fore the pro-slavery assaults which worked
his removal. West Point and the border
state negrophobists have about played
their hands. In Fremont's triumph the
Blairs are Inundated. The publication of
Fremonts private letters gave him full
right and power to follow suit. and he has
thereby euchred the whole posse OF con-
spirators. Fremont shows by printing bis
private instructions that Blair authorised
the purchase of horses and guns at extraya-
giant prices against his own will. He shows
that he did his utmost to save Lyon and
MulIgan, aud would have saved them but
Tor the authorities at Washington robbing
him Of bis men. lie shows .oul conspira-
c;es against him in Missouri, Kentucky and
Washington. Also, that the President
was the last TO desert him, and then only
through false representations. Fremont's
proclamations to shoot the traitors and de-
stroy slavery in Missouri were the founda-
tons of his removal

ANOTHER GoLD FIELD.-Ihe London

ish Columbia, located about 500 miles in
land northeast of the Frazer river, on the
Pacific coast. 1t was discovered in 1860.
The precious metal IL in coarse granular
Jumps mixed with gravel, with occasional
pure nuggets Of considerable size; the stor
les Of the productiyeness Of the mines are
similar to those told Of California, on their
first discovery. The following are some Of
them:
About $500 was dug out sc two creyi-
ces IN the rock, less than three feet under
surface. The best clam on Vanwinkle creek
produced 800 TO 5000 per day per hand.
On Keithly's Greek the companies were
making from $50 to$loo per day per hand.
On Antlers creek the rocker yielded $3.50
in single forenoon. Two men below the
town Of Antlcr have taken out $4,000
with a rocker since last spring. The aver
age yield on the fiuming claims is so ounces

A PRoBABr Tr.-Of the fact that the
rebel entertainments at Centeryile were
armed with quaker-glns, we take it there
is no dispute, 1t is suggestive Of the
probability that the work of evacuation
has been going on for some time. and that
the guns which these painted logs Of wood
replaced, have been moved to some new
stronghold in which the retreating rebels
will be able to make as stout a resistance
as at Manassas. AS yet the public knows
nothing Of their intentions. nor where they
propose to make stand; but there is no
trusting in indications If our advancing
columns do not find that preparations for
their reception have been going on for
months, and that they haye still another
