VIM. L. Yancey.
rney's Correspondence Of The Philadeiphia Prsssl

tForney's Correspondence Of the Philadelphia PrSsa]
WASHINGTON, March 20.
The capture of William L. Yancey seems
to be credited this afternoon. II knew him
well, Horatio." He was almost the only
honest traitor l ever met. He believed in
slavery, not so much as Q divine institution,
as because he deemed its preservation and
increase essential to the domination of the
South, and to the downfall Of the North
and Northwest. He felt and said that, if
the South is weakened in its right to hold
human beings in perpetual bondage, there
is an end of the mastery Of the minority Of
the whites in the South over the majority
of the whites in the North and Northwest.
10 this idea he devoted all his energies Of
mind and body. With his handsome, 81.
most boyish face, and fine figure, and his
musical voice, and great enthusiasm, he
was capable of immense effects.
Fourteen years ago, | sat with him Is Q
co-deleeste in the Democratic National Con-
%vention and at that day be was the same
idolator of slavery as the only stay of the
aristocracy of the South the same genial
and fascinating orator the same frank and
ont spoken man; the same Yancey that set
the South on fire in 1860. And, strange to
say, his ultra devotion to this idea made
him an Object of great dislike to the old
fashioned politicians of the Cotton States.
They were so fond of power, and 30 enamor-
ed Of controlling the free States, and Of
using the politicians of the free States to
put their tools, into Office, that they were
well disposed to let the regular course Of
things go on undisturbed. They kept young
Yancey out Of power as q revolutionist and
a fanatic; and many were the contests he
had with the Kings, Ntzpatricks. and Clays
of Alabama, and the Slidells and Montons
of Louisiana. .I
AT last, he convinced the South that if
the South did not rebel-did not take mp
arms-did not put down the old fossils-the
free States would absorb the slave States
and make them q minority-respeotable, Of
course, but still a minority. This was
Yancey's constant text. Bafled beforehand,
he preached foroibly upon it at Charleston
and Baltimore in his war upon Douglass
statesman he always admired, but whom he
opposed because he regarded the Douglas
doctrine as the greatest enemy Of slavery.
When the bitter opponents Of Yancey saw
him at the head of the column they claimed
the right Of seniority, and again pushed
him into the rear. This time they ~calcula-
ted without their host. Tha ruin il one
common to ALL Yancey, the bravsst of the
whole cabal, returns TO meet the fate from
Dhtch Others haze escaped aud are escaptn0.
He never was . rich man-but what he had
he risked in the game OF treason. If he
has lost bis fortune end his life, it will BE-
because he was insane upon Q wicked idea,
and because the old gane-stars crawled Of
into foreign lands and left him 10 pay their
forfeit. $50

THERE were heart breaking scenes on
board the frigate Cumberland during her
engagement with the rebel monster Merit
mac. Two of the gunners at the bow guns,
when the ship was sinking, clasped their
guns in their arms and would not be removed,
and went down embracing them. One gun.
uer had both his legs shot away, and his
bowels p~rotruding, but he made three steps
on his raw and bloody thighs, seized the
lanyard and fired his gun falling back dead
Another lost both arms and legs, yet lived,
and when they would assist him, cried out,
Back to your gun, boys Give 'em h--n
Hurrah for the fiagt' He lived till she
sunk.

andy JOHNSON AFTER THE sEcEsH NEwspA
PERS.

PERs
The Nashville Patriot of the 18th contains
an lmpudent article, from which We quote a
portion:
On the 18th inst, one of the editors and
one Of the proprietors of the Patriot, in the
absence oftheir associates, resumed the pub
LEGATION OF the paper. n y We
knew, from the experience of independent
newspapers in other cities under the flag of
the Union, that We had little hope of being
permitted to enjoy, unmolested, the liberty
of speech which was once presumed to be
the Constitutional right of every American
freeman, and were not, therefore, surprised
when on Saturday last, Governor.G General
johnson, in an interview which he requested
with the newspaper proprietors Of Nashville,
imposed upon them conditions more suitable
to the empire of France, whose imperial
despot has banished q free press, than to
Tennessee. We need not state what those
conditions were. Unwilling to be trammel.
ed by them we abdicate the tripod, with q
scorn Of servility which nc power on earth
can repress, and without an emotion Of re.
greet.
In conclusion, it is pre- per for us to state
that our paper printing establishment has
been leased 10 the employees in the Office,
and they will, so long as it be profitable, pub.
lish the Patriot upon their own responsible
ty. Neither of the former editors or pro.
prietors will have any further connection
with its publication. We wish this point
distinctly and emphatically impressed upon
the minds ofthose who have read the Patriot
In days gone by, and regarded It as an ex-
ponent OF sound principle.
