~VIs AOuVs
At q regular meeting of the Steamboat Cap
tains' Benevolent Association, held at their
rooms, this 23i of February, 1863. the follow.
ing preamble and resolutions, offered by Capt ain
Thos. F Eckert, we're unanimously adopted;
three members present declining to vote at
all:
WHEREAS, The Covinglon and Cincinnati
Bridge Company has recently been granted per
mission by the Legislature of Kentucky, TO re-
duce the altitude Of its proposed bridge ttruct
ure across the Ohio river from 100 feet to 100
feet above los water mark; sDd
WHEREAS, The eaid Company has made ap-
plication to the Legislature Of Ohio for the
same reduction OF hight; therefore
Resolued, That in the opinion of this meeting,
composed of practical steamboat meo, bridge
across the Ohio river at this point one hundred
feet above low. water mark, and without piers
in the river, would offer no serious obstruction
10 the navigation of the Ohio river
Resolved, That while bridges have been, and
are being constructed acioss she Ohio river, ut
Wheeling, Steubenvile and Msrietta-and 9TH
ers are contemplated at Big Sandy, Msysville
and Louisville--all at an elevation Of ninety
feet above low water, which hight has been
fixed by Congress, thatit would be ungener0us
aud unfair in che steamboat men to ask that the
bridge at Cincinnati should be constructed at O
greater hight than one hundred feet above low
water.
Resolved, That oil these bridges on the Ohio
river will, in times of extreme high water, re-
quire our larger boats to lower Their chimneye,
at the different points where bridges are con.
structed, and that ali our large boats will ne
cessariDy be required to have hinges to their
chimneys, by which they can be lowered with.
ont los. of time or cost, and without danger to
life and property.
RESOLVED, That while it is the duty of steam
boat men to guard, with jealous care, ell the
interests of The river commerce, yet that it
should not be forgotten that there are other
interests which have rights in connection with
ours. That the same principle which gives US
the right to float our steamers upon the bosom
of the river, gives also to others the right to
cross over or under il; and that 50 long as our
interests are not seriously conhicted With or
damaged, we have no right to offer fac
tious opposition to a great public measure
which Is intended for the nse of millions Of
people.
The attendance upon the melting was full

Rebel Invasion Of Kentucky.

A special dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette,
dated Frankfort, Feb. 23d, says: N,
The following information relative to the rebel
invasion now being made in Kentucky, is from
the highest authority. A cavalry force Of from
SOU to 1000 entered Richmond Saturday after.
noon, and crossed the Kentucky river Sunday af.
ternoon at Clay's Ferry, on the Lexington and
Richmond turnpike. Aportion Of this force is said
to have crossed at Boonesboro', above the Ferry,
and entered Winchester this morning. This force,
it is thought, will push for Paris tonight to burn
bridges and cut telegraph wires. Another force
of from fifty to sixty entered Nicholasville TO-
day. A force estimated at 700 had picket fight
with the 32d Kentucky, in Pulaski county, sun.
day afternoon, but they were driven off and took
the direction Of Mt. Vernon, to join the force at
Richmond, which is commanded by Chenault
and Tucker. Refugees are arriving here hourly,
but no serious alarm is felt for the safety of the
place, ia8Ag}tf 3l44a9f

The Abolition War Policy.

No true Democrat, no real Conservative man.
wants peace or will consent to 1t upon any other
terms than the restoration OF the Union upon
the basis Of the Constitution. The Aooiiton'
ists call those who talk Of peace upon such
terms, but.ernuts, copperheads, secessif nists'
rebele, traitors. They say it is treason to eug'
gest peace upon any terms until the reoeilion
Is 'crushed OUT" just as the ultra secessionis's
declare Il treason TO Thick or apeak oil peace
until the independence Of the Southern Conied'
eracy is acknowledged.
But how do the Aboliionists propose to crush
on. the rebsllion7 By crushing out slavery as
the alleged cause OF the rebellion. To this
end they have caused an cdict to be issued by
the Commander.in.C Chief Of the Army and
NAVY of the United States, declaring all the
slaves In nine or ten States-whether Of loyal
or disloyal masters-forever free, and pledgiDg
the army and navy of the United States to sus-
tain their freedom. II is claimed that this edict
ofemancipation has not only the force OF law, but
that It overrides the Constitution ITSELF and is to
be executed without regard to the Constitution
or National or State laws. This proceeding is
not crushing out rebellion against the Constl'
tuition and the National Government administer
ed in pursuance thereof, but is inaugurating
revolution tending directly to the overthrow OF
both. 1t is fouy-it is madness or something
worse to instigate or engage in one revolution un
der pretense of putting down another
The reason why the Abolitionists heap such
vile epithets upon Northern Democrats and Csn'
servatives, comparing them to Southern rebels
and traitors, is obvious. They.are striving with
might and main to create popular prejudice in
the North against those who are devoted to the
principle that the war should be carried on sole
ly for the restoration of the Union with oil the
rights of the States unimpaired, and that when
that end is gained the war ought to cease. Having
by acts of Congress, and especially by the edict
of emancipation, placed it ont of their power to
agree, without reversing their whole war policy
to peace and o restoration Of the Union upon any
such terms, they are determined to annihilate
the Union by crushing out slavery and slave
States, ,or, if this, at some indefinite time in the
future, is found to be impracticable, to compro-
mise with the rebel Confedemcy by division
of the Union upon CoNwAYis. or some other sim
liar plan. Every man who does not subscribe
to this programme Of the war, or at any rate
every man who opposes it with any degree Of
persistence, boldness and energy, and contends
that the Union and the States that compose it,
or did compose it before either the Secession re-
bellion or the Abolition revolution broke out,
must and shall be preserved, is to be branded
as q sympathizer with secession, rebel, trait
or, and other like epithets which the Abolition
villifers of genuine Union men find very con-
venient to use in place of argument or reason.

THE LAND ATTACK.


work: a's,
THE LAND ATTACK.
The first gun from the fleet was the signal for
the soldiers to move, and Morgan and Sherman
Immediately pushed forward their men, and were
met by fierce fire from the rebel works.
The troops in front were now sharply engaging
the rebels in their works, while our artillery, and
their eld-pieces behind the breast. work near the
fort were blazing away OF each other with great
rapidity. In one instance the rebels galloped
the horses up to the parapet with gun, and
when the horses wheeled with it, in order that it
might be placed in position, our infantry fire kill
ed oil the horses in the traces and the arlerists
scampered of in an instant and left their gun.
At shot from one of our Parrot guns, which
knocked one Of the timbers from the breast work,
at least hundred rebels ran away from behind
the intrenchment into the bastioned fort. Our
caissons were now coming from the front for am
munition. At ten minutes past three most Of
Morgan's men were in line, and the remainder
were forming in columns in the rear. In five
minutes more they were advancing with vigor
Sharp musketry and artillery firing was kept up
all the time. At twenty minutes past three o
heavy column Of Morgan's men was seen moving
up to the left Of the line, near the river bank.
II was at first supposed that it might bea storm
| ing column rushing on the works at double
quick, for it is we'll known that when Morgan
moves, he moves with vigor; but the next we
know the advancing column, enveloped in clouds
of smoke, had halted It was not a,storming
party 1t was body that was moving quickly
to the front to extend the advancing line.
The time now was fifteen minutes past three.
The fight was quite severe on both sides. AL
though the heavy guns in the fort were silenced,
the field.peces and the infantry behind the par
apet with great determination continued to resist
our vigorous advance. Our line extended from
the river on the left round in front Of the fort,
and to the bayou on the right The engage
ment was general along its whole extent. Nor
gan sent word that his left was advancing
steadily, and, as the gunboats commanded the
river, be had sent for Lindsay's brigade to re-
turn from the other eide.
It was now nearly four o'clock. The Admi-
rails flagship was coming close to the bank,
and, with the other gunboats, was pouring shot
into the fort; Eindsays brigade, across the river,
was also firing into the works, while Morgan's
and Sherman's men were advancing1fast in
front. The white flag was seen in several
places on the parapet; enthusiastic cheers arose
from our troops in front; the firing ceased; the
rebels rose from hehind the breast-work; and
many could not resist the rush behind, which
pushed them into and over the intrenchments
The fort had surrendered.

To the Editors ofthe Boston Post:
In your paper Of yesterday, which has just been
brought to my attention, notice on allusion to
me which is certainly unjust, and which l ask
you to correct In speaking Of the principles Of
q certain class, ofwhich you consider me mem.
Der, you say that Conway frankly pushes these
principles 70 their plain and logical result, which
is disintegration Of this noble oountryl" You
have no doubt fallen into this error from the
misrepresentation Of certain journals which stg-
matize but do not publish my views. send you
copy of the Congressional Globe, containing
my recent speech in Congress, from which you
may learn my principles, and what they really
imply. No man sets his face more resolutely
against Hdisintegration" than do; no manis more
firmly in favor Of the integrity of the Union than
/ am. But am opposed to the further prosecu-
ton of this war; and insist that it shall ceases

Other journals have referred to my position in
spirit Of malevolence. OF these ! take no no.
tice. Your fairness and candor, however. per-
sgade me to solicit at your hands the publication
Of this notice.
