They Mean 10 Destroy the

We believe it to be the settled purpose Of
the Republican party to destroy our Union
and all hope of restoring it To the Union
as it wss-a Union Of all the States, each pos
sessing the rights it enjoyed under the Con
s~titation before Mr.. Lincoln remodeted it,
they openly proclaim their adherence. That
they entertain the remotest hope of being able
to completely subiugate the South, we do not
believe. What, then, are they hoping for and
aiming to accomplish Simply this They
suppose that by adhering to their radical poll
cy, touching the Gulf States, and dealing gem
tly with others, they may be able to save Mis-
souri,, Tennessee, Kentucky, Maryland, a part
Of Virginia, and possibly North Carolina
and that all these can be held by force and
threats in a Northern ConfedefAcy. The "po-
Icy referred to Is expected to greatly weak
en- the Gulf States, and thus prevent any
strong effort on their part to get possession Of
others, or any strong desire on the part Of the
Border or Western States to unite with them.
With the South out they expect to be aole to
govern what is left of the Union for years, or
perpetually,
This is their plan and they ars acting upon
il. We are fighting to-day for only two OBJ
jects-niggers and a boundary The lives OF
soldiers are to be sacrificed, and money is to
be sacrificed, until the people, having no more
men and no more money to offer, shall con.

Then is to come n consolidated government

CHS who had raised the white flag,

only ten rounds Of ammuhihon, hfed SIX
rounds and then fought their way out,
with a loss Of 500 killed, wounded and
a,issing. The killed, are estimated at
about 30, the wounded at 100 TO 200
The rest are prisoners. The wounded
also fell intn.sse hands of the enemy.
HItis sANi. that, in fighting their way
out. our brawe troops massed themselves
In solid column and charged the enemy's

The cool and intrepid Forrest remained
In their rear to collect his scattered men

closed up their column, after the most Of
Forests men had passed through, and
GANG very near catching him. He es-
capped by riding at full speed along raw

said that the last he saw Of Forrest he
was flying over the fence, lying Hat on

"a rather important step on the subject

published in the official Gazette, dated
Madrid, December IL, 1862, by which it
is decided that slaves going with their
Cuban masters TO the United States

thereby free, the same as if they had

a national power that slavery is the crea-
