Negro Citizenship.

While the Administration has compelled
white people 10 submit to arbitrary arrests,
and passed indemnifying acts. releasing the
authorities from all responsibility therefor, they
are declaring citizenship for the negro. Attor-
ney General Bates has given his opinion that
free native negroes are citizens. This is in
direc; conflict with all the practices OF the
Government, and in utter subversion of the
Dred Scott decis;on-even Of that part of the
Dred Scott decision which was admitted BY
all to be IN the case. The question of citizen
ship was the real question in the case. aud it
was decided that negroes were not citizens.

LETTER FROM THE FLAT HEAD CoUSTRY.-
We take the following letter from the Dalles
Mountaineer
JocKo, W. T., Dec. ), 1862.
GENTLEMEN - According TO promise, l
write you concerning the upper country. On
my arrival here l agreed to winter with Mr..
Hutchins. at the Flathead Agency. but think
that | should have done better had | gone to
the Beaver Head mines There has been a
great many people in here from the mines for
provisions, etc, and they uniformly give glow
ing accounts of their richness. They state
that there is about six hundred miners in the
Beaver Head District, and three hundred
claims are already opened. Additions are
constantly being made to the mining popula-
ton. The prospect now is that the upper
country will see lively times next summer. All
the accounts agree that the mines yield from
S. to 5000 to the man-the average is from
$50 TO $40 using rockers. Outside the Bea-
yer Head District, there is 4 great many places
where good diggiDgs are known to exist. but
the miners. apprehending Indian violence, are
afraid to scatter. This, you will bear in mind,
is the country Of the Bannocks and Snakes,
and prudent men are careful about placing
themselves at the mercy Of these savages.
shall endeavor TO secure q claim before the
spring rush. These mines are Of ready access
for Salt Lake, and We may look for an infux
of Mormons with the early spring.

"PRoGREss OF THE SPIRIT OF FREEDOM. -
In an article under this head, the Pittsburg
Gazette, q raving abolition Journal, begins as
follows
The prayers of the Chaplaius Of both houses
of Congress at the opening of the session were
for Freedom-not Peace, but Freedom.
The article appropriately ends thus;
And so the Spirit las is sung of the soul Of
John Brown " is marching on"
Certainly the zealotry of these people is
nothing short of demoniacal. 1t is as blood
thirsty as it is insane Louisville Journal.
THE EXTENT OF THE SIGEL DISAsrER.-The
fact is beginning TO leak out, despite the efforts
of the authorities to keep it from publicity,
that Sigel has met with serious disaster,
covered up in the telegraphic dispatches as a
movement to protect Washington. The truth
seems to be that he became painfully anxious
as to the whereabouts of Jackson, and made
a wonderfully rapid march on the Federal
Capital. The Albany Argus says:
The retreat of Sigel was more humiliating
than disastrous for in his flight he left be,
hind him stores to the value of million of
dollars"
In corroboration Of this the New York
Times correspondent writing from Fairfax
Court House says:
The scare and consequent destruction of
property in the recent retrograde movement Of
this corps was much more extensive than
had at first supposed. The Division, Stein
wehr's which was at Thoroughiare Gap, re-
ceived orders at ) o'clock on Monday Of last
week, while most Of the troops were receiving
instructions as to the mysteries of battalion
movements, to march within half an hour
There was no time allowed to make arrange
ments for the removal of surplus property of
any kind, and as a consequence, twenty thou
sand musket cartridges, and a quantity of
knapSacks. provisions and other materials of
war were destroyed. There was no necessity
whatever for this indecent haste. notwithstand-
ing the generally accredited report that the
terrible jackson was close at hand"
The Cincinnati Enquirer, in addition to the
above, remarks
1--WE were pnt in possession of a letter from
Alexandria, Va, which states that, besides
the immense stores left behind or destroyed,
Sgels Division lost on the old battle field
near Bull Run, over six hundred killed, and,
of the wounded, twelve hundred had been
brought into Georgetown and Alexandria. 4
gentleman recently from Washington assured
Us that the statement of the correspondent to
which We refer is correct, be himself having
seen large numbers of the wounded when
they were brought into Alexandria. It is
strange, if these reports are true, that they
have not appeared in some authentic official

4 LIBERAL ROAD BUILDER Dalles
(Oregon) Mountaineer says there is a story

Superintendent announced that the appropria-
ton was exhausted This is about equal to

every other decision and law and the Constitu-
ton. where it seems necessary 10 give Repub-
lican policy its perfect work. If one decision
of the Court NAV be thus overturned, may not
every one, and the rights Of suitors become the
prey of political necessities, and the law Of the
land as uncertain in its application as the ca
prices OF the meanest depot? This last
act of the Administration does not surprise
those who have foreseen the inevitable ,enden-
cies OF the Republican organization. 1t will.
however, open the eyes of thousands 10 their
party who have denied an inclination to negro
equality, and have held that negroes are not
citizens. They will see now that, while the
commonest Justice has been refused to thou
sands of white men. a deliberate attempt is
made to shower privileges upon the blacks.
Union Feeling.
The Southern press generally repudiate the
idea of return to the Union. The unbounded
satisfaction with which the Republican press
hurl this fact at the Democratic conservative
element, whom they term conspirers, indicates
that the Republicans, also, repudiate the idea
of restoring the Union. The Democratic sen
timent, that has swept over the loyal States at
the last elections, does not propose to compro-
mise with men who will not compromise. They
simply propose to break the military power of
such men, and by so doing restore the Union
The Republicans are waging the war for the
imposition of terms they have no right TO
make. Their theory is that they can compel
the South to accept degrading terms The
Democratic theory is that they cannot, and
should not if they could They think men who
refuse TO compromise, will much sooner accept
the old Union, than submit to the dictation of
terms that would degrade them.
The War Committee,
Whenever the Congressional Committee ap-
pear upon the scene, some fresh disaster is sure
to follow. They have now gone to Fredericks-
burg. What new calamity is in store for the
country? What crime or blunder is now TO
be perpetrated? Let treason rejoice, and the
rebels put on bold front. Their best friends
have gone to c0arol Burnside, and are now
plotting mischief in the ranks of the Govern
ment troops. Another victory for the rebels
is certain to follow the visit Of Chandler and
Wade to the Federal army God save the
country.
