The Captured steamer nzIpna

The steamer Minns, captured by the
q. S. gunboat Circassian off Whining ton,
and just arrived at Boston, is described
as large ship, over nine hundred tons
burden, deeply loaded. Her cargo con-
sists of specie, quinine, rifles, powder,
vitrOl, wines and liquors, agricultural
tools, hardware, and general meTchan-
disc. She has also q valuable marine en-
CINE, probably intent>d for some of the
new rebels iron-clads. Her captain
boosted when he came on board the Cir
cassian, that she would sink in six hours,
"a he had promised one of the engineers
$1,000 lie would sink her. The engin-
eer sent on board from the Circassian
found her engines damaged little aud
the water pipes broken; but, taken in
time, they were speedily repaired. The
captain of the Minna says that the ship
and cargo win sell for 100000 in any
port. Captain Eat1n's share will amount
to over $4,000, and the rest ofthe eff !.

At tbs court house on the night of the

The most violent philiPics against the
rebell ever uttered here. We have be-
fore us brief report Of that speech, as
revised by the gentleman himself. We
make the following extracts from IL:
Mr.. E. here desired TO tell the people Of
Nashville ; plain truth-you have gOs to
live in the Union, with your negroes if
You viii, without them il you must. The
Union is worth more than all the seees-
sionists aud negroes in the world. At
the beginning Of this rebellion, President
Lincoln asked you to lay down your
arms. You refused. He called for 20 QUO
men 10 enforce the laws, and contrary to
the constitution you form an alliance
with the traitors. In abiding TO slavery,
be said it had disappeared from Europe,
and was in this country more easily
defended as 3 PznaiSsiVs than an agrees
sige thing.
The government had never attacked
the institutions Of the South, and those
institutions must not be made the pretext
for OverthrOwiBg the government. Let
he Union survive though slsrery perish !
lie implored the people Of Tennessee,
in the name of God and Of religion, to
return to their allegiance. You can re-
turn now, if you will, with your peculiar
Institution unimpsired. now beseech
you by al you hold sacred, to return to
your loyalty, and to assist in unfolding
the integrity Of the Constitution. an

union of these States. Deluded men
let me tell yea sgain that the government
,OiH maintain its authority. The great
question now is will you return? l am
for the war going on for ever, until the
rebellion is subdued
Since Mr.. Elhsridge gave ut!erance to
these sentiments, the rebels have shown
that they do not intend to accept any
offer of pardon which may be made
them. They reject all terms, and ex-
press their discrimination 10 fight TO the
last. The alternative Of losing their
slaves, foreshsdOwed by Mr.. Etheridge,
has long since become q practical neces
sity. slsvery must perish to save the
Union. Yet, Mr.. Etheridge, instead Of
going straight forward in the path he
pointed out, is now arrayed against the
policy Of the government, and bowling
over the superior sanctity of slavery, and
would apparently consent to see the Union
perish, rather than that divine institu-

he shall lose battle it will b because
OH GERS and priv4tes are railroad passen-
gears, hotel guests, and lady gallants,
instead Of being soldiers.
Extreme men now govern the Unibed
States. They mean our subiugation and
ruin. We must fight as long IS those
men are in power. When the people of
the United States shall drive these men
from power, and rpadiate their extreme
measures, aud cease to invade and rob
as, there will be an honorable door open
for discussion. But never before. IN
til that door shall be opened by our ene-
mics, let our people count no disaster as
intolerable, and regard every interest as
protected only by a vigorous prosecution
of the war. Let every man of the army
be in camp, and let every man no. of the
army produce something to snstain those
in camp.
To fight the extreme men and keep our
ears open to the reasonable and just men
of the United States, is the only read
to peace and honor.
In the meantime, we have no cause TO
be discouraged. If Grant shall follow
Bragg into the interior, and the absen-
tees will return promptly to duty, we can
convert an apparent disaster into the
greatest victory of the war The charm
of the extreme men in the United States
will then be broken, and the door speak
