The ReheI Raua Fleet.

The preparations of the Rebels to launch a
formidable iieet Of iron clad rams in English
ship yards approaching completion. Two
rams were to be launched from Laird's works al
Liverpool about the middle of this month, and
a third at Glasgow the first of the month. These
vessels. according to the New York Herald cor.
respondent. are heavily plated, have each two
turrets, and are armed with projecting iron ram
on the bow. They are built for sea going ves-
sells, aud are intended to have high speed. The
fact that they are constructed by eminent ship
builders, who have the best materials to select
from, is sufficient to warrant their perfect adap-
tation to their work The vessels turned out
under these auspices will be no such clumsy af
fairs as the Rebels have been able to construct
in their own ports.
We do not anticipate that these vessels are to
be directed against Northern ports. and the ap-
prehensions of New Workers reg irdng that event
may be deemed premature. The Rebels have
more important work to do in clearing their own
harbers of Instructions, caused by the blockade
and t is probable in that direction that the blow
will fall. Whenever they become strong enough
they will attempt TO sink the feet at Charles
ton or some other important port, and then main.
tain an open harbor for blockade runners The
authority above mentioned surmises that these
vessels will be on our coast in September. 1t is
impossible that they should arrive as soon as
that, and it is doubtful if they in a condition
for active operations before the end of the year
By that time, however, the whole FIVE which are
understood to be under construction will probably
be arrayed against us. If we do not finish up the
war before that time. the contest will be n a
measrre transferred from the land to the ocean
and we shall have work for the Monitors which
they have not vet encountered.-l Chicago Times

We had dispatched one of our editorial corps to

ton he might have to make to the people of

dispatch from our reporter to the effect that Mr..
vallandigham had handed him the copy of an
address TO the people of Ohio, which he would at
once dispatch to the Times by telegraph. At a
later hour we were advised from the telegraph
Office here that the Government Military Gen.
sor had forbidden the transmission of the address,

of free communication by telegraph, but they

mr. LincoIn,s washington speech

The speech of Mr.. Lincoln, delivered on the
occasion OF the late victories of our armies, is far
from being conciliatory. He refers to the Decla-
ration of Independence, and To the words "that
all men are created free and equal" which, in
his opinion, includes the negroes and all other
people of color This is precisely what the
Declaration of Independence did not mean, or
George Washington would not have owned
slaves. and no provisions would have been made
to give the Southern States a representation in
Congress based on three ffths of their negroes.
The question of slavery was entirely left to the
States and it is morally certain that, had the
negro in those days been declared the equal of
the white man, no Union would have been form :
ed, and no Constitution adopted.
According to Mr.. Lincolns Interpretation of
the Declaration of Independence, it was similar
to his emancipation proclamation, declaring all
negroes, with one fell swoop, free, and the equals
of the whites. If that had been the understand
ing, all subsequent acts of Congress would have
been in iagrant violation oft: and the fathers of
the revolution, from Gen. Washington down to
Madison and jackson, would have been perjured
men. If the Declaration of Independence de-
clared the negroes free and equal to the whites,
why was it that so many States continued to hold
negro slaves, and why did the New England
States. which desired the abolition of slavery be-
cause it was no longer profitable, find it necessary
to pass act to that effect by their respective
Legislatures
President Lincoln has mind singularly con-
stituted il he imagines piece of parchment or
paper can make the negro equal to the white man
it can only make him equal before the law. 1t
is not what Mr. Lincoln or the faction he repre-
sents think of the negro that can elevate or de
press him. The equality of the negro to the
white man is a question of antbropology-a
question of science, which can not be determined
by Presidential dictum. Mr.. Lincoln will not
change the law of nature in that respect any
more than Canute, the Dane. could bid the tide
to stand still. But Mr.. Lincoln can do great
mischief by employing the wealth and power of
a great Nation to carry out his partisan views,
irrespective of the past and wholly unmindful of
the future. The most fearful cslamities that
have befallen mankind, had their origin in fanst-
icism.-[ Philadelphia Age

alone. Gen. Grant smoked his cigar all the time,
while Gen. Pemberton broke off twigs of grass
and wound them around his fingers. At p NJ.
the interview closed, and our Generals mounted
their steeds and returned to headquarters. The
men on each side watched with almost breathless
interest this strange scene, that may change the

This arrangement is much better than that we

exchanged, nor will they at all, except few. 1t
cGnvinces them of the humanity of our Govern
ment; that the object is not Ahat they have been
told. but it is useless to fight when submission
brings them again to their homes.
Thus ends one of the most memorable sieges
of history. Bravely has it been defended, and
magnanimously was it treated.
The New York Express, in commenting upon
the foregoi &, remarks:
Contrast this magnanimous conduct of lofty
soldier. whose name is now enrolled high in the
list of fame, with the mean, shutting off of Alex
Stephens by the little men of Washington. Grant
invites Pemberton to an interview. and when in
interview, embarrassed by the aids about him,
says let US step aside What was done aside the
whole world now knows. In this spirit the great
Napoleon often acted when victor, and in this
spirit. after the battle of Soferino, the present
Napoleon invited the Emperor of Austria to his
famous interview in the Lombard cottage.

WHAT THE Rror MEASs.-Many people profess
to discover q deep significance in the riot. Some
see in it the plotting of Southern emissaries 9TH
ers believe it to be the work of political conspr-
ators of various names. Many more are just as
certain they see Romanism with knife and torch,
thirsting for the blood of heretics. We are told
by others that the original instgators have fed,
but thieves and ruffians now fill up the ranks in
hope of plunder. Reforpers see a war of the
poor against the rich, beIokening great civil
revolution. In truth, all these elements gen.
orally engaged in such riots as this. Where the
foundations of osder are broken up, society be-
comes the prey to all kinds of bad men. The
corrupt classes, political and moral, seek to fur
ther their own base purposes by taking advan-
tage of the prevailing disorder. This is the ex-
