Inc J"ttg'hc'r Of this morning shows lis
c"ppcry rrociivities in liz leading article, hy
singular malguity and Misrepresentation of
the late opinion Of Judge Underwood, of the
LIS. District Court, coniiscatiug the fee simple
OF rebels In arms against the Government.
The ht@HigcncCr, or rather the author of the
article In question, who is perhaps the paid
counsel of the rebels, states that the Judge
admits there is no found alton for his opinion.
without changing the except" of the Consti.
tuition into "unlcss." The Judge docs no such
thing but simply indicates that the use of the
| word except" in meaning very common at
the date of the Constitution, adds force to the
construction Of the Constitution, which for
other and as he deems sufficient reasons he has
given to the clause in question.
Again, the Hdc!iigcnccr considers the fact
that the EVcna,y Post advises amendment of
the legislation Of the last Congress OIL the sub.
Ject severe censure of the judge. But it will
be found that this very opinion Judge Under.
wood urges the same amendment to remove all
doubt or ambiguity.
We are surprised at the sensitivencss and
Misrepresentation of the paper. 1t wnces as
ifthc tcrrors of punishment were declared and
dccrccd against its own friends.

LOUISIANA STATE ELECTION.

Preparations for the State election in Lou
isiana are going actively forward. The New
Orleans Era says,
"The friends Of the FREQ state movement are
coming forward very actively to register theil
names as voters under the call of the Cover
nor. They not only go forward themselves
but urge their friends to do go. Meetings are
held and discussions had almost nightly,
by means of which the people are moving.
AL this work is done quietly but publicly,
and already between three thousand and -four
thousand have put down their names as voters.
Every day adds to the number, and II is proba-
BILE that by the middle of January there will be
eight thousand to nine thousand names regis
tered, or the maximum Of the legal vote of tho
city when most populous.
Under the old system of registry theru were
some fourteen thousand names entered during
period of seven or eight years; yet we do not
recollcct but one election under that law at
whicr more than ten thousand votes were
poled.''
Referring 10 the Presidents late proclama-
ton, the Era says:
"Undcr this Proclamation an election can
be called when number of qualified voters arc
registered equal TO onc.tenth of the vote in
1860 The vote of Louisiana In 1860 was about
$4,000; SO that when $500 are registered we
shall be entitled to an election. This certainly
must inspire every free State mau with hope
and joy.
II assures us a victory; II promises the speedy
restoration of our State under q new constitu.
ton, or at any rate with the old constitution
stripped of the hideous institution of slavery"

letter from Hilton Head says that authcn.
tic news has reached that place of the dcstruc-
ton of Georgetown, South Carolina:
When the intelligence of Bragg's discom-
litnre reached the place, panic seized on the
inhabitants, and II was resolved to fire the
town. aud all the merchandise 1t contained.
Georgetown was depot for naval stores. such
as turpentine, pitch, tar, rOsln, etc. These
highly combustiblc materials added greatly to
the iierceness of the coniagration. On Satur.
day night last, December 9th, the incendary
Tires were lighted, and the greater part Of the
town was consumed. Georgetown was a sta
ton for blockade runners. Among the prop
erIy destroyed were two hundred bales of cot
ton, in one parcel, about to be shipped on ac-
count OF the Confederate Government to Mas
sau, to be there con, urtud into the sinews of
war. It was place of some antiquity. 1t
was built during the reign of George the
frst of the lianoverian line of succession to the
throne of Great Britain. As the first landing

WENDELL PHILLIPS ought to be the huntlest
antislavery man in this country. In all the
history of human progreas there never has been
more signal illustration that fanaticism is
the worst of all counsellors than his case at
iOrds. BY his own confession, made on
public platform in this city, he was, for twenty
years before this rebellion, au out-and-out dis
unionist. That Is to say. he was laboring for
the same end for which JEFF. Davis was con-
spring. -NsT York Times.
We regret to see a statement like the above
in the New York Times. 1t is not true that
Wendell Phillips and jeff. Davis have been la
boring for years to accomplish the same end.
The editor of the Times knows that they have
been lahoring to accomplish Mc "cry re,erSe OF
what he says-Phillips to overthrow the slave
power in this country; Davis 10 strengthen
and perpetuate it. Both advocated the same
msU,S--a dissolution of the Union: Phillips,
peaceably; Davis, forcibly; Phillips, because he
cunscicntiously believed it to be disgraceiul
aud sinful to live under the same govern.
m"nt with the holders of four millions OF
slaves, and also because he believed the South
could not live in peace with slavery when sepa
rat, d from the North. Davis, because he fore.
saw that the North would assert her constitu-
tional power in Congress to prohibit slavery
from going into the Territories or from being
introduced into new States, and that slavery
would be strangled If confined TO the original
slave rtates, and a dissolution would enable
the southern States TO reopen the slave trade,
extend slavery into some of the proSpectrely
acquired Territories; and perhaps into Mexico.
This was about the position Of the two mon.
The present situation of affairs shows which of
the two was nearest right.
