Destruction of the Steamer Nashville.

SAVANNAH, February 28-The Nashville, in COM
ing up the hgeechee last night grounded on sand
bar above Fort McAlister, and was discovered this
morning by the enemys feet An iron-clad opened
fire across the marsh at the Nashville at 80 and con-
tmued till 10, when incendlary shell struck the
Nashville, setting her on fire. and she is now total
wreck. The fort fired upon the ironclad hitting her
fort, doing no odamage.
CHARLESTON AND SAvANNAH.--The New York
Commercial advertiser says the assault on these
places will be more like protracted siege than an
overwhelming attack. The Charleston and Savannah
channels have been planted with torpedos and OBJ
structons placed therein that the torpedos falling
to accomplish their MISSION the vessels will be held
under fire long enough to seriously cripple them If
Fort McAliser is specimen we may pause before We
contemplate an easy victory. That fort is now plated
and impenerable to the Montauk,s shot as the Mon
tauk is to that Of the fort. Above the fort is lined
with obstructions and torpedos which prevent iron
clads from successfully passing the river Until the
torpedos and obstructons removed the ironclads
cannot be made effective and these cannot be removed
while the fort remains.
The defences OF Charleston represented as equally
elaborate as those of Savannah. The attack upon
these places will be one, and victory if
gained, will be dearly purchased.

Lincoln Supreme Ruler.

Three important measures, says tlR Caroltnian are
now before the Federal Congress- the passage of which
will of course occur they have been cauclssed upon
by the Abolition leaders, that will invest Lincoln with
apower more to be feared by those who may acknow-
ledge his Government than that of an absolute mon
arch. These are, first the bill giving him power to
suspend the writ of habeas corpus which will give him
full control of the persons of all within his domnions
second, the militia BILL which proposes to place under
his control the whole militia force of the country and
the sword entirely under his hands; and third, the
financial scheme which will give him the purse We
have no doubt of the passage of all three propositions
before the final adjournment of the vena Congress now
in session. whose legal existence close on the 4th inst
They are the by which the more dominant par
y expect to continue their power after they retire.
With these grants Abolition legislation will be no
longer necessary, and conservative legislation will be
nullty Any act Of the latter to restrict the action
of the President easily be scnced by the veto.
and the sword and purse continue to be used without
hindrance, to complete the ambitious schemes of the
would-be autocrat and h is followers. The army the
navy, and the treasury will be under the absolute and
unlimited control of Lincoln he will have absolute
power to force his armies every whom he peascs
and ncarcerate in his basties every who presumes
to differ with him. dsfreedom of speech and of the
press can be restrained at pleasure, with as much M
cility freedom OF the person. His people will,
then learn how much of their own liberty has been
lost by their bndly aiding him to secure that of the
negro, and that too, when it is too late
