If we may be allowed the expression Of our
views, we would expose the effect ofthe persist
ency of a class of our population who conspire
against all progress, and especially the improve
ment of the Harbor. Men, to whom it matters
but little whether this city amounts to anything
or not, who admit that under any progressive
measure, their share OF tax would be but a trihe'
aud who allow their spleen against some one they
happen to dislike, take the form of a general an
athena, and finally make opposition to any ideas
or plans not advanced by themselves ,or agreeable
to their sophisms for ~instance if tho city debt is
proposed to be compromised, up starts our man,
serves an Injunction, and claims to be the defend
or of constitutional rights, though gaining nothing
by his championship, he works on, and appeals to
low prejudices and the exercise of this species of
despotism draws in also the unthinking by the
clamor he raises, such men are taking the helm
rom the hands of the skilled pilot and are looking
with complacency ON our city drifting to the
breakers.
Now it is not supposed that our city cannot see
its true interests, or that there are not men in it
| that cannot direct the coansels, and prevent sui>
cides always having the power to take tho life Of
the place There is a majority to>day whose con
~victions are correct rs 10 what should be done,
and who only lack enthusiasm and willingness
to exercise the power of mind over matter. There
may be differences of opinion among honest think
ers as to causes. One says the railroad MANAGE
ment is killing the town u Chicago business man
a ys 70 us, your city debt is such an incubus on
real estate that no new conner would think of an
Investment without its compromise; ace say perfect
your shipping facilities, form an active working
committee from the City Council and Board of
Trade, call meetings of business men, harmonic
| the discordRnt elements as much as possible, get
a proper enabling act, and let the harbor beScon
siderod the first thing to be accomplished, because
of no third parties to make terms with. AS soon
as possible thereafter ifnot at once, get the repre-.
sentative of the creditors to take up the bonds and
effect a compromise. This done, we can find par.
ties who will be willing to relieve the Railroad
trustees of their elephant they say they have
drown and promote our joint interests. What we
are saying is not mere defamation; but within the
reach OF an enterprising community. We appea
to our citizens that have got something to lose, tc
put their shoulder to the wheel, and let those wht
/ only clog, stand aside.

and nothing of moment had transpired.
The rebels, at Port Hudson have been
strengthening their works, and augumenting
7 their forces, evidently intending to hold out az
long as nossible, Our gunboats cannot assisl
much in the attack, though the mortar vessels
will be likely to d~iscommode them consldera-

Galveston we have the Brooklyn, Sclota, ana
other vessels b!oskading to prevent the Har'
rjet Lane from coming out, though it is rumor'
ed that she got ahead of them by running out
inmedistely after the fight, befoIe our vessels
reached there. This is not probable, as she
needed repairs before going to sea.
The Alabama has not been heard from.
The New Orleans banks refused to receive
Treasury notes on deposit. The latter are now
par with city currency. Gen. Banks remonstra-
ted with the bank directors, and they had con-

Confederate notes were rising and in some de-

The New Orleans Delta says ''Col. Thorpe
stated at a public meeting on the 23d, that the
levee above the city is in a very dilapiated con
dition. large holes having been cut to enable
guerrillas to fire at passing boats. The water
in the river has risen fifteen feet in the past
month, and is now rising rapidly, and unless
the levee is speedily repaired, not only Louis
lana, but a large portion of Arkansas and Miss
will be submerged"
The British propeller Antona, captured Off

The following extract from a letter written
by Acting Assistant Paymaster Fred. r Thomp-
son, of the steamer New London, has been tor
warded TO the Secretary of the Navy:
SATURDAY EVENING, January love ar
rived off Galveston about noon to-day, and as
soon as the Captain reported to the Flag Otl~
Ger, tho request went up from the Flag Officer
70 prepare for action and get under weigh the
Brook! yn stopped about two miles from tine fort.
while the New London and Sciota went close IN,
to draw, if possible, the fire Of any batteries
which the rebels may have erected, Surround
ing The fort could be seen the tents of the
troops, and toward them our fire was directed.
The ball was opened by the Brooklyn. The
Sciota followed with her 11.inch and Parrot at
one extremity of the town, while along the front
az the other extremity, we opened with one Par
rott and one Sawyer, but elected no reply. We
then went within u mile and q halt of the fort
and opened FIRE on the encampment. The Sci
ota came after US, while the Brooklyn with the
tremendous range of her guns, planted a she'll
in nearly, at the distance of three miles. We
were rolling tremendously, and had to fire as we
were rising. Our starboard 30-pounder was fir
ed and the she'll exploded in the fort, and soon
down came the rebel flag, the haiyards being
cut. After firing several good shots, a signal
was sent up from the flagship to cease the ac>
ton. We came about, and, as we returned, a
feld.piece opened upon US. The shot fell about
twenty rods from us. We gave them a broad
side, and the Sciota 3inch>shells, all of which
struck and exploded in the battery, the effect
of which must have been tremendous, judging
from what we could see through the glass. We
could see the masts of the Harriet Lane over
the town. rg. rt ...-
Tonight our squadron has been reinforced
by two gunboats, carrying sixteen guns. To-
morrow being Sunday, nothing will be done, but
when the bombardment is renewed, it will be
terrific. Galveston is a doomed town. Monday
we shall try to pass the forts at she mouth of the
harbor.' -.. e

Crisis once IIObbed.

The city of Columbus has been the
theater of a most disgraceful mob on
the the night of the 5th inst. Col.
MEDARY was absent at Cincinnati at
the time. and knew nothing off until
The next morning, when he read it in
the morning papers. The editorial
room was all the one the mob got
into. Mrs. WILSON, daughter OF
Col. MEDARY, went to the eftice and
got possession Of the subscription
books, so the Crisis will come on to
subscribers as usual. A we'll known
Abolitionists attempted to take the
books from Mrs. WILSON, when she
took a revolver from her pocket, lev
elad it at the scoundrels head, and
denounced him as a coward, fit only
to fight women. She then went of
through the crowd with the books and
revolve. in hand, not one attempting
to interfere with her. The fellow is
now in prison tor assaulting her. Three
cheers for Mrs. WILSON.
We told our friends here, that Col.
MEDARY had more friends in Franklin
county, than any five in it, in both
parties. And ifa mob attacked him
or his property, it must be either the
result Of secret move, or a general
battle would be the result. This ap-
pears to have been some Is or 80 men
dressed in part as soldiers, who came
up an alley from the river to make the
attack. We have not room for fur
ther details this week. One thing is
certain, Ohio will send 100000 men
to Columbus, inside Of three days
if necessary, to protect free speech
and free press, and Vinton county
will furnish 1000 OF them, whenever
tho Democracy of Franklin county
require it. And we verify believe
many Republicans here would join
us. We would even 60 to protect the
bloated carcass of the JOu'aaL(editor
at Columbus, who attempts to excuse
tue mob for this outrage, and whose
every publication has been to induce

are the hulwark of the liberties OF a
free poople--they must and shall be
maintained.
