tho State by tho proceeds Of cargo of New.
Jersey " OOnvicts," Is well as by the profits
of other Southern trade. which this act is
meant hereafter to invite. There can be no
abyss of infamy into which State capable Of
such measure is not ready to plunge.
If it were possible to appeal by argument to
men to whom no consideration Of civilization,
or humanity, or justice seems to be possible,
it might be suggested that this act is so
Hagrantly unconstitutional that it can never
be- enforced. The EXTREMIST Copperhcad advo-
cate of State rights does not yet hold that the
Constitution of New.Jersey is in all respects
superior to that of the United States There
is still in the latter instrument clause which
declares that the citizens Of each State shall
be- entitled to all privileges and i'm
munties of citizens in the several
States. Among these privileges and i'm
munities, it has been judicialy decided,
are the rights Of protection Of life and
liberty, and it did not need the recent opinion
of the Attorney General of the United States
affirming the citizenship Of the negro to estab'
lsh his claim at least TO those fundamental rights
Inherent in humanity. The first unhappy black
whom Nsw.Jersey undertakes to rob of bis
liberty and manhood may interpose tho shield
of tho Con.titutiou between the rapacity OF the
State and his own impered freedom, and tho
State shall find that she has outraged Christi
anty, dsfed the nation, aud disgraced her.
self, without benefit to herself or to her Rebel
allies in the South.
And again, if it is impossible to address
these New.JorsSy legislators as patriots, or good
citizens, or champions Of equal rights, they are
at least, and above oil things, politicians, and
as such may hearksn to o warning given in oil
good faith. You are going, Messrs. Senators
and Representatives, faster aud farther than
tho People will follow you. You may not have
decent respect for the opinions of mankind,
but you do care for the opinions of your
neiehbors and for your political prospects,
and yon may as well remember that on the
whole there is among the people certain
blind and fanatcal belief in Humanity and
Justice, aud that the Bible and the Declaration
Of Independence arc still regarded as re-
spectacle authorities, and are occasionally re-
icrred to even IN New-Jersey. And unless you
coyet disgrace in the present and defeat IN
the future, the contempt of this generation and
the hatred of your posterity, you will beware
how you suffer this bill to become law.

OUR GENERALS.

No man has any claim TO public employment.
or can have any, on other ground than that Of
his ability and will to serve the country better
than any competitor. This was always true; but,
in season of calamity and peril Like tho pres.
ent, he who would n,sh or choose 10 hold Office
for his own sake rather than the country's,
proves himself unworthy Of her confidence or
favor.
We do not know who are best qualified to
guide the Military cOunsels and lead the armies
Of the Union; we do know that the President
and bis advisers should give commands to these,
and TO no others. To award or continue
command, large or small. with any regard TO
the feelings Of this or that person, wero
frightful dereliction. The fate of our country,
the lives Of her bravo defenders, must not be
thus trihed with.
We have been anxious that o command
should be awarded to Gen. Fremont, and can.
not abandon the hope that one will be. We
do not herein pass judgment on tho relative
abilities of tho senior MajorGenorals in the
Army, and assume for Gen. Fremont SUI
periorlty over his rivals. But We know that
IN his hostility to the Rebellion there is no
such hesltancy or qualification as is on good
grounds believed to exist in that of some other
Mnjor-Generals. lilo profoundly believes that
the Shareholders revolt is inexcusAbly fragrant
and atrocious-that it is a rebellion not only
against the Constitution and Union, but against
Liberty, Humanity and Cyiizaton--an up
rising in behalf of Oppression, Reaction, and
all the powers Of darkness. The Rebels
would never puff him us they have done other
Of our Generals, insisting that he alone was
qualified to lead our armies, and that we
should be- ruined if we trusted any One else.
There is not q poisonous Comprehend in all tho
loyal States who does not disparage and posi-.
lively hate him-not one whom the prospect Of
his restoration to an important command docs
not incitc to furious though impotent Kissing.
Their instinct is not ut fault--his generalship
would not lead to such results as they hope
for but dare no. openly exult over.
1t is currently alleged that Volunteering Is
at oh end--that whatever soldiers We enlist
must be drafted. We believe that
the appointment of Gen. Fremont TO an i'm
portant command, with authority to accept
and regiments of Volunteers for the
would prove his q mistake.
In operating against any region Astounding in
slaves, Gen. FrcmOnt's name would be tower
Of strength. 1t would BIO o Proclamation OF
Freedom which would DO read in midnight

BY arrival from Ncw.Orleans VIC hive news
to the 14th inst by way of Baton Rouge from
Port Hudson. 1t confirms the Rebel report 80
far as the fact Of fight having taken place,
aud of the loss OF the steam sloop Mississippi.
The attack was begun by our feet at ii
o'clock on the night of Friday, the 18th. Very
soon afterward the Mississippi got aground,
was abandoned, and set on fire. Our dispatch
says that the firing was rapid and severe on
both sides. Our army was reported 10 be
within five miles Of the enemy's landworks;
the men we're in excellent spirits, and were
I" bound to win." Up to the date of this dis
patch, the only fighting had been by cavalry,
and that merely skirmishing. The news stops
at most interesting point, aud does not in.
dictate any especial advantage on either side.
We further learn from Washington that this
news by way of New Orleans is believed to be
true. 1t agrees pretty nearly with the reports
heretofore given in Rebel journals in some par
ticulars; but it differs in stating that our feet
did pass Port Hudson, and that the Mississippi
was burned by her own officers, and not sunk
by the enemy's batteries.

KIDNAPPING IN NEW.JERsEY.

The New-Jersey Assembly, by vote Of 81
to 10, has passed m net for tho imprisonment
and transportation OF every free negro, mnlatto,

1t is carefully provided, however, that an old
act shall be kept in force by which shares may
be brought into the State aud held as such by
their masters, tito to tho same remaining I'M

stay. But whoever brings n free black, mu-
latto, or quadroon. servant into tho State shall
be punished by fine Of hundred dollars for
the first ofsnse, three hundred for tho second,
and by years imprisonment for the third.
1t is needless to say that the New-Jersey
Assembly las Comprehend majority exactly
equal TO that by which this measure was passed.
Since it went through by a party vote, and
since the Senate and Governor Of tho State
are of similar faith, it seems likely enough that
tho bill, atrocious as it is, will become law.
If il does. Now-Jersey may as we'll pass
another, annexing herself outright to the Rebel
Confcderacy. With such au act on her stat.
