THE NEWS.
The news from Vicksburg is not Of
marked interest, and adds little to the H.
tell,gence previously received. It is sui:
fciently indicative, however, Of an ap-
preaching crisis not now long to be defer
red.
Rosccrans' Army Of the Cumberland is
in motion. We accompany the brief dis
patch elsewhere, authoritatively announc~
ing the fact, with compilation Of highly
Interesting facts, relative to the make up
md morale Of this splendid army:
Ohio is preparing promptly to meet and
beat back the threatened invasion Of her
soil. The Southern cousins Of Vallandig-
l,am will have hot time of it, il they do
not hasten and finish up their promised
-Fisit before Ohio gets fully 1oused i
4 Fortress Monroe dispatch brings in
telligence OF the recent loss Of the United
States gunboat Sumter By collision at
sea, off Cape Henry. The Sumter was q
fourth rate screw steamer Of about GOO tons.
She carried FIVE guns and was recently put
in commission, utter extensive repairs at
The Brooklyn Navy Yard.
One Of our city mediums declnre that
Stonewan Jackson has, since his death,
been converted into q staunch Anti-SlaYe-
rs man BY the late Rev. DR.. Lyman Beech
ct. This is rather too late transforma-
ton to be Of service, and yet we would not
object to the immediate conversion Of Lee
and other rebel leaders, in tue same uay.
In another part Of this issue we give
4he recently published ca]l for a Loyal
State Convention at Nashville, to take
measures for the formal restoration of Ten
nessce to the Union.
The rebel 1irates are still busy with the
fishermen on the New England coast, and
fresh acts Of outrage and wanton destruc-
zion are reported. Thesidppers and crews
who sec their property and shares thus Bac-
1iflced, Will treasure up wrath against the
day Of vengeance on the traitors, whose
time Of punishment will surely come.
Emancipation in Missouri stands post
poncd for the present, by a vote Of her
State Convention. Theleaven isworling,
and the pro-6layery men who resist the ad-
vance in public sentiment in that State, will
SielG to the course Of inevitable events,
and On less favorable terms forthemselves,
what they refuse to the dictates Of Reason
and Humanity. Missouri is sure to be q
Free State. 1tis her destiny.
True to their instincts, the coWardly and
Rcacherous Northern tools Of the Slave
Power have no more sympathy for the
duwnuodden white victims of the accursed
system Of Human Chattelism, than they
have for the oppressed blacks themselves.
The men in Illinois who advocate the in
famous Black Laws, are, when brought to
a test, in fayo- Of White law OF the same
bearing, and st1ingency, if We are to judge
from the hard-hearted conduct Of the peo:
pie and municipal officers Of CenhMia, as
set down on the second page Of to-day's
paper. Well may 1llinoisans blush at the
spectacle. The wc1l-fed and prosperous
people Of peaceful loyal State barring
their doors against helpless women
and children, fugitiyes Of their own
color, fleeing stripped and penniless from
The red track Of war. But that the inno-
cent must suffer with the guilty, it would
be deserved ret1lbutiEe justice, were
dorce OF rebels to pour through Centralia,
and make that nelghborhood wilderness,
that these selfish Copperheads might see in
its full enormity' their cruel and uafeelingg
conduct toward the hapless exiles they
would spu1n from their midst such is
