FRInsD TnToS You aud those who agree
with you shall not differ from me in words
unless we differ in ideas. Leaving, therefore,
all minor matters to take care of themselves
merely observing that l never held that the
British Government broke faith with the Vir.

frat see wherein we agree:
/. We agree Q am ,ure) that, if the War
goes on and the Rebellion is crushed out, Sla-
very dies with it in the States and parts of
States wherein it is abolished by the Presi-
dents last Proclamation of Freedom.
2. We agree (do We mott that, if the Reb-
els shall defeat our armies and exhaust our
resources, they may constrain us to make q
disunion Peace, in which case Slavery will not
10 fact be abolished in the States and districts
aforesaid.
3. We agree (do we not y that, if the War
should so end in our defeat and the Rebels
triumph, new Union might nevertheless be
formed (if you will not call it the old one re-.
stored) by o new compact, which would admit
the now Seeded States on the precise terms
whereOn most of them first became constituent
and equal members of our Union.
4. We agree II know that every person

state that the. time which the enemy is wasting
by his absence from here is being we'll employed
in Strengthening the position, and good care
will be taken to prepare a warm reception, to
teach them that the f~elicitous lines of Hudibras
are exactly applicable to their cases
aAh me what perils do environ
The men that NEEDLES with cold iron"
Indications of the Federal fleet above are still
observable here by certain articles daily seer
floating down the river, from coal bsrges to q
Yankee canteen many of these struggling
articles are fshed up by boys, who bring them
out by means of skifs.
Speaking about skifs, I am reminded Of the
fact that Yicksburg is for The present deprived
of that valuable adjunct so Necessary for speedy
transit to and from Louisiana-the DeSoto
ferry boat. The want of this indispensable in
stitution is severely felt, particularly in the cold
and rainy weather with which we have been
lately visited. The ferry boat has been taken
down to Rodney, where it is said she is laid up
for repairs, and it is to be hoped that she may
soon be brought back into her old trade. Even
if nc ferTying was to be done she would be a
valuable assistance es a messenger boat to re-
connoiter the river above.
Here, like everywhere else, where supplies
are stored, the government is a heavy lOoser by
the waste, leakage and stealing, and though an
ample watch is kept over all government stores,
the Hght+fngered bipeds manage to abstract
large quantities Of sugar and molasses daily.
t =, ,I.,c-4 .--.mc.hf, e -,c~I tI-eo rAoroc
which are lying scattered everywhere all over
the town, with a sufficient vigilance to prevent
theft. In open daylight whole hogsheads Of
sugar are distracted, and at night multiplied
barrels of molasses are besiegedb by the piIlaging
parties. The late cold and stormy nights have
been so excessively dark that a hogshead of
g might be stolen within ten feet Of the
sentry and he would not be aware Of it, but for
the noise, and not being able to see any object,
he fires at random, which Of course misses its
aim, and the pilferers escape undesecsed and
UNPUBLISHED. The military pressure upon the
Southern railroad has been so great lately that
immense quantities of freight, mostly consist
ing of sugar, molasses, and some salt and wool,
had to be stored here to await an opportunity
for shipment. It appears, however, that private
goods are not much interfered with by theiving
scamps.
The rain, cold and snow Of the last two days
had the effect of creating a strong sympathy for
the poor soldiers among our people, and it ap-
peared that everybody was bewsiling the sad
condition of our troops, except themselves, and
it is a singular fact that the most pleasant, cheer
full and happy men on our streets yesterday,
were these sam soldiers, who endure TIE sever
ity of the elements with the same GOODNESS as
they would charge the Yankee lines.

domestic hearth. he has waged bis war Of BY
ranny against ministers Of the gospel and help
less women with the same vindiciveness and
apparently with more internal delight han he
has punished secular and masculine rebels. A
vain boaster, a corrupt official, a robber, a levy
eT Of black mail, an oppressor, a har, q lnur-
deTer, a traducer and prosecutor of women, and
consequently e cOaoard. Where has the human
being lived who has SO richly clustered around
his infamous name such an array of the blast
ing epithets of crime With millions of i'll
gotten gains in his pocket, wrung from a people
who lay helpless and pslpitating victims at the
foot Of his power, and reeking with all the
crimes known to humanity, he returns to the
North to meet the ovations of shameless
mobs and the cohgratulatory resolutions and
thanks of the Congress of his country. What
a people And yet there are idiots at the
North, who call themselves Conservatives and
Democrats, > who talk about a restoration of
the Union on " constitutional principles /" As
if the people of the South, Witnesses Of and
sufferers by the davilish spirit in which this war
has been carried on, could ever consent to live
under the same government and recognize as
brothers and fellow-citizens a race capable, not
of producing a BUTLER alone, but a Congress to
endorse and eulogize him. Let these eonserva-
tives and Democrats look to their own houses,
save their own lives and liberties, if they
can, from the f~anaticsl and political monsters
they have set to rule over them. As for us Of
the South, we have forever cut loose from the
blasting eOntagion Of Yankee associations and
fellowship. They have written their characters
as our deadly enemies in letters Of blood flowing
from the hearts Of our bravest and best. The
" damned spot viii not out" They have
left the monuments of their hatred in blsel;ened
fields Of desolatiOn. They are also the nionu-
ments Of our eternal political separation.

We, in common with our readers, have erred In the
superstition that the price of cotton here would be gov
erled by its value in foreign ports It is now diseerned
that our great staple is Influenced by local
ses. The extreme difficulty and danger Of shipping cot.
ton at this season. o. The year, over 2 bar that continues
almost impossible to navigation for weeks together, ne
cessarily depreeiates its value in this market. Out Of
the 5000 bales imported here from the interior, almost
one-third rema'ns u%nshipped in the hands Ofbuyers Tt
is estimated that 5000 bales ace in this vlciGitv, await
ing a favorable period for transportation TO the shipping
in the Gulf. Parties purchasing cotton to-day cannot
reasonably expect to place it on shipboard before the
beginning OF spring. Another leason assigned fort
two millions Of dollars for cottOr has depleted the long
purses Of our capitalists. For this cause b1yers have be
come diminished in number, and thus control the market
The reduced price Of cotton is also Attributable to the
fact that one continued stream is pouring into our city.

JACKSON MISS.
SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY II.
0PPREssTeN or THIS ENRMK I'm
TENN

Through a private letter to Major R. B.
HURT, received yesterday, we learn that the
Fedsrals in Jackson, Tenn, are expressing the
citizens of that place with \ heavier hand than
heretofore. Among other outrages committed
by them, Gen. SULLIVAN had ordered all the
bacon in the place to be seized, except two
weeks supply to each family. This is resOrted
to as q war measure, and as the surest means Of
forcing the people to subsection and ending the
rebellion. Unable to conquer s piece by sub
DUNG our armies, they have adopted the
cowsrdly and fendish policy of starving our
n-on-combstants, m aud children. It is in
this way, we presume, they hope to build up q
reunion or reconstruetion party in Tennessee.

DR.. Hardgrove, near Monterey, in Rankin
county, was entirely destroyed by FIRE one day
last week, together with everything it contained,
including seven hundred dollars in money. A
servant woman is suspieioned of having set it
on fire. The residence of the editor of the Re
publican was also fred on Monday morning last,
but fortunately the fire was extinguished before
it had made much Roadway. Two negro girls
were arrested on suspicion, when they scknowl-
edged having committed tbs act, and were COM
mitted to jail.

RAILROAD ENTERPRIsE.- The Knoxville
Register states that the enterprising officers of
the East Tennessee and Georgia railroad, got an
engine and four cars across the bed of the Hols-
ton river, at the burnt bridge at Union, SO that
the freight and passengers csn now be trans
ported between the two destroyed bridges, and
adds ain fact, transportation OYER the whole
line'i is going on again with but little Interrupt
ton, thanks to the energy of its offcers-one of
whom wishes to notify Yankee m~arauders, that
they left their work incomplete when they failed
to knock the bottom oat of the Holston. Such
a feat as running a train of cars across the bed
of a river through the water, has not, we be-
lieve, ever before, been accomplished.

-TRLEGRAPIHIC REPORTS.

1t SEEM that the press Of the South is at the
mercy of the telegraph companies, or at least a
portion Of them. The general agent of the as
socisted press has been notified by DR.. NORRIS,
president of the Southern Telegraphic compa
MES, that 'n consequence of the greatly IN
creased amount Of press matter now being
sent over the lines Of these companies, by
reason of two rival associations, to the delay of
other important matter, the number Of words to
be rsesi0ed daily, by each journal, Cat the weekly
rates,) viii be limited to f0e hundred, and any
excess above FIVE hundred words viii be
charged for at half the regular rates, and the
tolls collected daily from the agent or publisher
receiving such excess What we want is the
latest intelligence of interest, all of It. The
opinions of reporters can and should be dis
pensed with-give Us the facts, and our readers
can form opinions for themselves. 1t is to be
hoped that DR.. MolRRIs will withdraw his re-
strictiOns upon press dispatches.
We made an effort the other day to obtain the
Presidents message by telegraph, for the benefit
Of our readers. Dr.. MoRRIs's lines at frst pro-
posed to transmit Il to Mobile for the moderate
sum OF one thousand dollars, if possible, but
subsequently declined doing 50. From this in
stance the reader can form o estimate of the
expense incurred by the press in obtaining the
latest news.
While on the subject, we viii take occasion
to express our obligations to the officers and
operators on the lines in Mississippi, especially
in this city. We can rely upon their prompt
ness at all times-a quality we have frequently
missed elsewhere.
