ed, would he not have done Just what the
President has done-sent home the deleca-
ton with denial ringing in their ears?-
Does this answer of the President, there
fore, strike blow at the rebellion, or put
a prop under 1t? The foolish chiId's play,
misnamed craftsmanship, which charac-
terized the whole second year of the Presi-
dents term, was retrieved by the changed
policy ushered in with the Decree of Eman.
cipation. The new year crowned itself
with new hopes. These hopes have been
fulfilled with many noble victories during
the year. But now that we are drawing
nigh to the Promised Land. are we to be
led back to the flesh pots of Egypt? Are
we to return once more to the early trifiine
with the rebellion? Did the President
strike slavery so hard on the First of jan
uary that he now seeks to parry the blow?
The President disappointed us long ago in
Missouri-is he seeking to hide the dark
ness OF that memory by overspreading it
with a second shallow?
One thing is certain: Mr.. Lincoln cannot
make the radicals o: Missouri his enemies
il he tries. Indeed, he has been known to
say that he could count always upon radi-
cal men, and could therefore afford to of
tend them for the sake of coquetting with
the Democrats. But is such policy wor-
thy OF man SO generous by nature as
Abraham Lincoln? The letter of Mr..
Drake is admirable in spirit-calm, patri-
otto, patient. We hope it is foretoken OF
the temper with which all the Radicals OF
Missouri will receive the Presidents dis
appointing decisions. But as faithful are
the rebukes of friend and the kisses of an
enemy deceitful, let the President remem-
Der that the Just criticism which his iu-ad-
vised letter has provoked, proves his
sharpest critics to be his best friends,
while the fulsone praises which he is now
receiving for it from the Copperhead press,
is proof only Of hidden enmity which for
crafts sake has broken out into smiles. n
The loyal men Of Missouri, and the 10y
al men of East Tennessee are twin band
of patriots whose trials. sacrifices and fidel-
lty ought to win for themselves an equal
share of the Presidents sympathy. Blu,
let these staunch Missourians, these
champions of Freedom and Union, know
that they are not forgotten by a grateful
Country. Thepulses of thousands Of hearts
IN the East beat in sympathy for these
brave men Of the West. Their trials are
great, but their courage is high, their pa
tience strong, and their triumphs shall
come in time. But the reflection saddens
our minds that the Chief Executive of the
nation is unwittingly putting off instead OF
Fastening this day. We believe that when
the war shall finally yield its banner into
the hands of Peace, and the tedious strug-
gle shall be retraced in retrospect, the
President OF the United States-whom may
God now and evermore bless will look
back with remorse upon the too slowly de-
veloped policy of Freedom with which he
was constantly afraid to venture upon Vic

old rule" Keep what You get, and get what
YOU can" All who ever enlisted in their

COL, ROBERT G.. SHAW.

The letters from our correspondent, brought
by the Arago yesterday, confirm the previous
report, by way of Richmond, Of the death Of
Col. Shaw of the Massachusetts, 5itb. He TELL
at the head Of his regiment, when standing on
the parapet OF Fort Wagner, which he and
his brave men in the advance. aud the post Of
honor, had carried by assault. No soldier
ever prayed for nober death, aud how
brayely it was met BY him and bis comrades
the fact bears witness that when the remnant
of the regiment was forced 10 retro 1t Yves led
by I'd Lieutenant.
Col. Robert G. Shaw was the only son OF
Francis George Shaw OF Staten Island, grand.
son OF the late Robert G.. Shaw, a distinguished
merchant of Boston. When the war broke out
he went as a private in the 7th Regiment to
Washington but before their three months
term of service expired sought and received
commission in the Massachusetts I'd, the
fighting Second" as it is called, for the
courge IL has shown in many hard-fought field.
At the battle of Cedar Mountain his life was
saved BY bis watch; at Antietam be was struck
by fragment Of shell which just grazed
the neck. In looking fox commander for tho
first colored regiment from Massachusetts, who
should combine the moral qualities and the
sodierly accomplishments requisite for post
of more than ordinary difficulties, Gov. An.
drew chose young Shaw. How well that
choice was justified was shown when be
marched through Boston at the head OF the
best disciplined regiment that ever left the
State. and the three hundred dead that fell
around him at Fort Wagner prove that in tho
field he had inspired his men with his own
courage, and aroused in them that personal
devotion and enthusiasm that will face the moss
desperate duty. 1t was that rare quality that
commands at once the love aud obedience o!
men that peculiarly fitted Col. Shay for com.
mander. OF most genial and kindly nature
of manners as gentle as womans, OF na'
tive refinement that brooked nothing coarse, OF
a clear moral insight that 10 evil association
could tarnish, of strength Of purpose aiming
always at noble ends, of courage quiet but
cheerful and unwayering, he was one OF fbosc
characters which attracts, and at the same
time mouljs all others brought under their IN
luence. Even this was observed of him when
only a second lieutenant in the I'd Mas
sachusots; how much more has it been shown
in the 5ith. This country has lost in him one
of It's best soldiers and one of its most promls'
ing men.
Col. Shaw was only about q years Of nge
and was married Jew weeks before he Joined
the army of tho South.

FORT WAGNER.

Another assault upon Fort Wagner, another
repulse, and Fort Sumter still beneath the
Rebel fag-sucb is the news from Charleston
harbor which the Arago brought yesterday TO
hearts beating high with hope. A clear ac-
count of the disaster is given in the letter of
our special correspondent, printed in other
columns-a letter Of intense, even appalling it,
terest, assuming it to be correct and it bears
plentiful intrinsic evidence Of Its correctness,
SIC cannot put aside the conviction that the
assault was terribly mismanaged, and that the
almost unequalled bravery of those heroic troops
aud their officers who attempted it was Of no
avail, because it was not rightly directed.
la the fret place a tremendous cannonade
from land batteries and ships was begun
against Fort Wagner ut I2l on the 18th inst,
and continued until an hour after shutdown.
Gen. Eiluiore and Admiral Dahgren seem to
have regarded with the utmost surprise tho
impregnabilIty of the fort 10 this fire. Scarcely
ali answering gun was returned by the Rebels;
thoy were content to let tho storm OF shot
ury itself in tue earthworks, or pass harm
iessiy over their heads. And it seems though
TIE statement is almost incredible, that this fire
had been 30 surely counted on to reduce the
fort, that no preparation for assault had been
made, and that the assault which was made,
was hurredly arranged on the spur Of the mo-
ment, after the cessation Of the bOmbardment !!
Not even the brigade organisation Of the
forces was preserved. Regiments were So
,ected by different commanders, to whom they
were unknown except by reputation, and this
