THE MOVEMENTS NEAR THE CITY.

The surprise of the cnemy's force upon
James Island last Thursday morning was,
in some respects. more important achieve.

believe. Not only were the Yankee gum
boats driven down the stream. but the
Yankee land forces were cleared off. tho
Island. We understand that they crossed
over the causeway Which connects James
Island @Ith Battery Island, ct which latter
place they now are.
The expedition which accomplished this
riadance was organized by order of Brig.
Gen. Ripley, who was at SecesslonviIle at

THE EMANCIPATION PoIIcY.-It is charged
that the Emancipation policy has driven the
North and united the South The men who
assert this, know that they speak falsely The
North is not any more divided than at the
beginning of the rebellion. And as FOR the
South to prove that the Proclamation has moi
united" it against the national cause, the
message of the newly chosen Gov Cannon of
Delaware, the election of emancipation off,
GERS, and an Emancipation T. s. Senator by
the new Legislature of Missouri, aud the ap
pointment as Z. S. Senator from Maryland of
ex Gov. Hicks who declares that peace can.
not be permanently restored to our country
until slavery is expelled from it, bear witness.
The rising Free Labor party in North Caro-
lima, the thoroughly Emancipation attitude of
loyal West Virginia, and the tendency to
Emancipation of the formidable loyal party in
South louisiana, all attest that our Union is
to be restored on the basis of Free.Labor, or
it cannot be restored at ALL
