Tint they escaped by crawling over the ram

three quarters Of mile, to the opposite
island, where they seized little fishing yacht.
Lieutenant Reed attempted to esc2pe with
them, but was detected In his effort to do 50

rHH REPUHL1C NO FAILURE

There has been something too much Of
a captious and insulting spirit manifest
cd ngainst us by the arrogant ar1stocracy
of Europe. They are continually taunt-
lug us with failure, and incapacity to man
age our own affair, asif We were babies in
abnormal petticoats. And they have
based these impndent assaults upon the
fact that after well nigh century Of na-
tiona1 prosperity and happiuess. we sud
denly find ourselves in the midst OF great
rebellion, instigated By our own citizens
for the ayowed purpose Of destroying the
Government.
We confess it is an ugly charge; and it
would be uglier still if the rebels were Re-
publicans, protesting to love the country
which they have cursed with their exist
cnce. But it SO hnppens that, although
nomindlly part Of the Republic, they
arc now, and always h1ve been the
greatest enemies of the Constitution and
of popular Government They had that
devils nightmare Of Slavery thrown over
their souls ut the very time when they en-
tered with our venerable fathers INTO the
political and social compact Of the United
6tatcs and this element Of Slavery fos
tered aud encouraged anything but free
thoughts and actions-and became the
prolifc sourcc of TINT dcspotisn which has
marked tue Southern career, and which
has finally issued in the rebellion which
NC NIL deplore, and which by Gods help
we shall speedily subdnc.
Il is a malicious calumny, however, to
charge this rebellion as the result Of repub-
lIcan governments The slave States were
On oligarchy from the beginning, and con
tanned within themselves the seeds not
only Of rebellion to the government which
they had sworn to live and die BY, but Of
their own destruction. Republican gov
ernment has never had fair trial. How
could 1t have fair trial, least Of all in this
country, with that dreadful lie Of slavery
bound up in the laws Of so many Of its
States, and pcrmeaing oil the centres and
clrc1mfercnces Of its lifee How was It
possible that republic professedly found
cd on freedom and the equal rights Of men,
could exist otherwise than us blasphemy

TIME WORKS WONDERS.

Nearly three years ago, in the spring Of
1861, tcfore even Edmond Rufin fred the
first gun at Sumter, the shareholders Of
Vacksb,ug fred upon the Federal flag and
closed the Mississippi against Federal
commerce, Had any one declared upon
tllat occasion, that in the State Of Afississip-
pi-the home Of jeff Davis-im Vicksburg
the very birthplace Of secession, an anti
slavery paper would be in full tide Of sue
cessful operation in less than three years,
he would have been hanged to the first tree
by the Rebels, and secuted ut asa madmau
by the Fcderals. But time works wonders,
and in the revolution OF its wheel, the
right must some time come uppermost"
The march of Free Labor is eternal and
unconeuerable, and the old dame who
tried to beat back the surgeso Of the Atlantic
from her door, with = broom, was not more
: foolish than the man who tries to oppose
his feeble strength against the on,sweepingg
tide Of human rights. Free labor is the
very pith and marrow Of the question at
issue upon Southern fields. You may pile
obstacles before it mountain high, in vain.
If It cannot burst the barriers, it will, as
surely as the tide, rise and surrnount them
forever bu1ying them out Of sight Fos-
si]ized men md measures, the rubbiah OF
fcudal ages, the relics Of slavery and bar
bariem, all the dognas, tenets, and doc
trince, which through so many years, in
Southern and some Northern pu1pits,
forums, aud presses, have proclaimed the
right Of property in man, arc being swept
away, and the new and glorious light Of
Christianity, Civilization, and Free Labor
is everywhere shedding its benign infu-
cnces.
Anti-s1areV Journals arc now printed in
Tennessee, South Carolina and Louisiana,
and the corresponding change in public
sentiment begins to manifest itself in these
slarcry-riddcn States. Three years ago,
the bold articles appearing in these sheets,
advocating Free Labor, would have con
signed the writers to the dungeon. But
