STARTLING NEWS FROM SOUTH

We have, from the special correspondent Of
the New York Tribune at Port Royal, the start.
ling announcement that force Of s, 900 negroes,
led by whites and supported by regular troops,
was, on the 10Th inst, ready to enter one of
the most densely populated districts of the De
partment of the South, in order to summon Its
emancipated blacks to arms. Communication
have been established with the negroes, and
they wait only for the appearance of the lIberat-
ing force to spring to arms and rally under the
National fag. Sudden and irresistible as an
avalanche, this blow will fall where preparation
and defence are alike impossible. The Repu5-
lie is at length about to strike at the heart Of
the rebellion, and the proclamation of freedom,
hated and derided by every enemy to the ma
lion, shall be heard in trumpet tones on the
plantations of Carolina, and echoed on the
battlefield by the cannon's opening roar.
South Carolina deserves no better treatment

A Force Or Five Thousand Black

Especial correspondence Of the N. Y. Tribune.l
HnToN HEAD, Feb. 10, 1858.
For some weeks preparations for foray upon
an extensive scale, into some fthe most thlckly
populated districts Of one Of the three States
comprised in the Department of the South, have
been in progress with the greatest possible Sc
cresy. Few persons within our lines are aware
Of the project even at this time, when orders
TO begin the movement are about being given.
The plan is to surprise the rebels, not with the
phantom, but the reality of servile Insured
tion, by the sudden appearance, in arms, in the
region selected, of body of no less than 1000
negroes, properly led by whites and supported
by regular troops.
Communication has been opened and kept
up for some time by trustworthy contrabands
with the bondmen of the chosen field OF opera.

will appear, and are ready to rise in thousands
and swell it to a wave so mighty that it will
sweep both rebellion and slavery out of exist.

volcano is about bursting, whose lava will
burn and flow and destroy despite " Conserva-
tism" and peace resolutions" The exact
direction of the expedition the Northern pub
lie is most likely to learn first through South

Mrs. Lander, who Is now with true womanly
devotion engaged in preparing the hospitals
of the department for the reception of the vic
tins Of the impending campaign, desires the
assistance of a limited number of well quail

the senate Tar on Banks-The New
Conference Committee Report that the
House withdraw Its opposition TO It,
The House refuses, and a New Com
mittee is appointed.
In the House session last night Mr.. Wash
burne, from the committee of conference on the
disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the bill
to provide ways and means for the support Of
the Government, made a report recommending
that the House recede from Its disagreement
Mr.. r. Conkling made a point of order, that
the bill must first receive its consideration in
Committee of the Whole. The Speaker over
ruled the point of order. Mr.. Washburne moved
the previous question; which was decided in
the negative-yeas 4s, nays So. Mr.. Dawes
said the object Of the Senate's amendment was
to place the Government of the United States
in hostile array against the banking interests.
Mr.. Washburne remarked that when the
representatives of the people come here and
ask that the banks may bear their just
proportion, It is said the Government is placing
itself in hostile array against the banks.
Mr.. COlfaE said he voted for the bank bill after
great deliberation. II was because the SeCre-
Iary of the Treasury declared such a measure
was necessary for the strength of the Govern
ment. We make every branch of business in
the country pay a tax, the promissory note of
every citizen is taxed, and why not make the
banks bear their proportion of the burden
Mr.. Thomas, during his remarks, said it is the
representatives Of the people who control the
revenue. 1t is only by gradual usurpation OF
power that the Government undertook to con-
troll the revenue of the country. It is not the
intention by this tax to add to the revenue OF
the Governments 1t is the object and purpose
10 restrain the circulation of the local instltu-
lions for the purpose of giving force and effect
to the bank bill passsd by Congress. The Ques-
was then taken: Shall the House recede from
its disagreement to the Senate's bank tax
amendment And the question was decided in
the negative by a vote of yeas 63 to nays rs.
Mr.. Dawes moved for another committee OF
conference, which was agreed to.
