The Rhode Island Election.

The election in Rhode Island takes place
tomorrow. The real issue presented is the
war policy of the administration. The contest
is in form between the republican and demo-
cratic parties; essentially it is between the
supporters and opponents of the government
in prosecuting the war. Those who believe
in putting down the rebellion, and in sustain
ing and Strengthening the administration by
which alone it must be put down, support the
republican nominations. Those who would
like to have the rebellion put down, but are
opposed to the measures the administration
has adopted for that purpose, support the dem
ocratic ticket. The latter have three or four
distinct political organizations; but they are
one in opposition to the policy of the govern
ment and fall naturally under democratic
control.
The issue is most sharply defined in the
Providence congressional district, aboutwhich
the chief interest of the election is conferred.
The competitors, Messrs. Jenckes and Brad
ley, are lawyers in Proyidence-both of
acknowledged ability, and standing among
the first at the Rhode Island bar.
The broad, radical, irreconciable differ
ence between them, and between the
causes they represent, appeared in their pub
lie discussion, on Friday evening, with clear
ness and candor which we have elsewhere
looked for in vain. Mr.. Bradley appeared as
the representative of the opposition, claiming
support for that reason without reserve or dis
guise. Of course he is not rebel. OF
course he would rather have the rebellion
subdued than the government overthrown.
But it did not appear from anything that he
said He regards the rebellion as a matter of
secondary concern. He is occupiednow with
Gripping the administration and rendering its
war measures, to the extent of his power,
nugatory and Intellectual. This is the position
he chooses for himself; it is not one assigned
to him by his opponents. His argument and
his rhetoric are sharpcned not to be used
against the rebellion or to weaken the enc
mics of his country, but against the confisca-
ton act, the emancipation proclamation, aud
the conscription law, with the purpose of
weakening the administration.
Mr.. Jenckes, on the other hand, took the
high ground-On which he will be abundantly
justified whatever may be the result of the
election-that while we are in a state of war;
there is no true loyalty but in standing by the
constituted government of the country The
first duty was to put down the rebellion. 1t
must be put down by the appointed authori-
ties of the land, or the nation is resolved at
once into despotism or into anarchy. The
administration is the choseI agent and execu-
tive of the people for this special work. The
only way of safety, as well of duty, is to
IA ,,l -.-o--.i----
oppose it in the direction Of its most vigorous
efforts against the rebellion, is bold disloyalty
On this ground Mr.. Jenckes' position is i'm
pregnable; and on this ground we have con-
fdence he will be sustained.

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, March 30.-The paymasteJs
for the troops in North and South Carolina,
have been ordered to hold themselves in read
mess to repair to their respective stations with
money for our soldiers in those states. All
our troops will soon be paid to the first of
March, eighty million dollars being required
for that purpose.
A misapprehension exists as to the letters
of marque and reprisal. The navy depart
ment has nothing to do with the subject, which
belongs to the state department.
The Shenandoah valley from Front Royal
to Berryville, having not yet been fully drained
of its agricultural supplies, may account for
the reported presence in that section of Gen.
Fitz Hugh Lee, who was said to be lurking
about Front Royal with his scouts and pick
cts, ranging down among the Bull Run noun
tains. They recently burned the temporary
bridge with which our forces had replaced the
stone bridge over Bull Run. There is no
doubt that rebel agents are collecting grain
and other supplies in London and Fauquier
counties.
Deserers recently from the rebel lines
speak of the general good health of the rebel
troops, Notwithstanding the coarseness and
scarcity of their fool. The Information of
these deserters is limited; but their impress
sion however is that the army has not been
largely diminished, and that the places of the
old troops withdrawn, have been partially
supplied with new levies. The rebels are
still engaged extending their earthworks all
along the line of the Rappahannock, partcu-
larly toward Port Royal.
In the interview to-day with the Ute chiefs,
whose tribe occupy portion of Colorado ter
rtory, the commissioner of Indian affairs in
formed them that if they created disturb
ance with the whites, a sufficient military force
would be sent to put them down; whereupon
the head chief coolly expressed doubt wheth-
er the government has the power 10 do so.
These Indians, though of rowing habits,
claim the ownership OF large tracts Of land
fort Monroe letter of the 2Sth reports the
safe arrival of the iron-clad Keoliuk At Port
Royal. 1t also states that the extensive fire
in Richmond, two weeks since, destroyed
nearly 200 bushels of corn; also, that
James river is being strongly fortified by the
rebels. Fort Powhattan is being casemated
with railroad iron. The rebel force between
the Blackwater and Richmond numbers near
ly 10000.
Report says that gentleman of the Hay
ten government is at Norfolk to procure 5000
contrabands as emigrants to the island of
Avoche, where cotton is to be grown. AYES
sci of 500 tons has been chartered, and 800
contrabands will go on the first trip.

GEN. SAxToN's. REPoRT. The following is
Gen. Saxtons official report Of the exploits OF
the black brigade in Florida =
BEAUFORT, S. c., March 14.-Hon Edwtn
NJ. Stanton. Secretary Of Var SIR: l have
the honor to report that the expedition which
l sent up the st. Johns river, Florida, con-
sisting of the LIST regiment Of South Carolina
volunteers, Col. T. W. digginson command
ing, and portion Of the I'd South Carolina
volunteers, under Col. Montgomery, captur-
ed and took possession of Jacksonville on
Tuesday, the 10th inst As l stated in my
last report to you, the object OF this expedi-
ton was to occupy jacksonville, and make it
the base of operations for arming the negroes,
and securing, in this way, possession OF the
entire state of Florida. 1t gives me pleas
ure to report that so far the objects of the ex-
petition have been fully accomplished. The
town is completely in our possession, and
many prisoners. There las been constant
skirmishing going on for several days, and in
every action the negro troops have behaved
with the utmost bravery. Never in single
instance can l learn that they have flinched.
1t is my belief that scarcely an incident in
this war has caused a greater panic through
out the whole southern coast than this raid of
the colored troops in Florida. The negroes
are collecting at Jacksonville from all quar-
tiers. am, sir, with great respect,
r. SAXToN, Brig. Gen. Vols.

Secession Stir in California.

SAN Francisco, March 30.-There has been
considerable excitement for the past three
days, in consequence of TumorS that 200 Sc
cessionists recently organized in Maple Co.,
were about to make sudden night attack on
the Benicia military station and Mare Island
navy yard, for the purpose of capturing the
arms and magazines, and leaving the state
nearly unprotected in the event of their sue
cess. The rumOrs were SO far credited by
the government officials, that the steamer
Saginaw was ordered to the island, Saturday,
and the Benicia garrison is kept under arms
night and day. Nothing has transpired to
confirm the rumors, but the officials appear to
have information which is withheld from the
public.

WHEN the ninth army corps passed through
Baltimore, last week, on its way to join Gen.
Burnside at the west, it was received with
warm and generous enthusiasm, which showed
that the old fire had not yet gone out Pre-
vious notice of the arrival of the corps had
been strictly forbidden, so that no formal well
came was extended. But all along the march
flags were thrown out spontaneously, and they
were greeted with something of the old en-
thusiasm. The Baltimore American makes
the following alusion to a regiment in which
this community has lively interest :-"Dur-
ing the passage of a portion of the corps, the
DIST Massachusetts regiment was halted in
front Of our office, and at the call of its Of
ficers gave three hearty cheers for the loyal
press of Baltimore Praise from the old 21st
is praise indeed"

The OLD South CHoIR.-The resignation
of E. S. Mason, Esq, as organist and conduc-
tor of the Old South choir, which takes effect
April LIST, and which position he has held for
fourteen years, was the occasion OF gather
ing at the Bay state House, on Saturday eve
ming, of large number of the present and
past members of the choir and their friends,
to testify to him their appreciation of his valu
able services, and also of Mrs. Mason and her
sister. A part of the evening was spent in
social intercourse and singing. Announce
ment was made that a supper provided by the
friends, was in waiting at the dining hall, to
which place all Immediately repaired, doing
Justice to the viands set before them; after
which Mr.. S. E. Staples in behalf of
those assembled, presented to Mr.. Ma
son and family an elegant photograph al
bum, stating that it was the design to
have the visites of all the members of the
choir enclosed, but for want of time they had
not been obtained. Mr.. Mason in reply re-
verted to the circumstances of his coming to
Worcester and associating himself with the
Old South; also stating that the choir had
been called upon to perform at various public
occasions from time to time during this period,
and as far as he was able recalled the names
of those who had been associated with him in
the choir during this long period.
He was followed by Messrs. Boyden, Hol-
brook and fainter. Mr.. Boyden alluded to
the centennial anniversary of the Old South
Church which occurs the present year, and
hoped that on that occasion we might have
brought out the style of music accustomed to
be heard before the introduction of the organ.
The party, again repairing to the parlor,
were entertained with a few pieces by the
choir, and all uniting in singing "Old Hun
ured' closed the pleasant interview, which is
"u' one OF the many they have enjoyed, and
winch VIII long be borne in the memory OF
'uOse present as their minds revert to these
pleasant hours of the past. G.

CITY AND COUNTY.
Den,h OF CAPTAIN Hacker.

We are panied to hear of the death, from
typhoid fever of Capt, William E. Hacker of
this city, which took place in the camp of the
lst Maryland regiment, to which he was at
tached on Saturday last. Captain Hacker
was the son of w. Alfred Hacker, Esq, and
was for two or three years the commander of
the Highland Cadets. He entered the army
early in the war, and after fighting in several
engagements, at the battle of Antietam was
shot through the chest; but, recovering al
most by miracle, though after painful i'll
ness, he reioined his regiment in the latter
part of November. He was soon compelled,
however, to go into the hospital at Philadel-
phia; but, impatient of confinement, he re-
turned again to camp, to receive pro-
motion, and to plunge at once into ac-
tive duty, which in time told severely
upon his weakened organization and brought
on the illness which has now proved
fatal. His father stood by his death bed,
having been summoned by the telegraph.
Capt II. was in his 18th year. His death has
cast a gloom over the wide circle of his
friends, and calls forth the deepest sympathy
for the bereayed parents who have offered
this precious sacrifice upon the altar of their
distracted country.
