GOOD NEWS FROM yICKsBURG.

A special dispatch, dated Cairo February
7th, says that the steamer Adelaide has ar
rived from Vicksburg, with the important in
formation that the United States ram Queen
of the West ran the blockade on Monday
morning at daylight. One hundred heavy
siege guns were opened on her, and as she
steamed past, rebel steamer also opened fire
on the Queen of the West. The latter replied
and crippled the rebel steamer. The Queen
was under fire three quarters of an hour, ap-
parently unhurt. This bold and successful
exploit is worthy of praise. We look for
more exciting news from Vicksburg, ere long.

THE TIDE TURNING

sc. W. Lee, General Commanding" is in
trouble. Il seems that this officer is in COM
mand of Department in the South, with his
headquarters at Dahlonega, and that among
other things his duty is to suppress insurrec
tions, ssand generally to restore tranquility to
this part OF the eountry.'' 1t seems that a
number of deserters, tories, and conscripts are
now in Georgia and North Carolina, resisting
the laws OF the Confederacy. These insurrec-
tionary movements seem to have more than
usual meaning, and to have been more than
usually momentous, for Lee offers full am
nesty to these who surrender, while those who
persist will be tranquilzed by the musket
''lt will be a fruitless attempt" he says, ssto
war against the Government and must result
in the most disastrous defeat to all who may
be so deluded as to attempt it.'' In this good
work he is assisted by ssJoseph E.. Brown,
Governor of Georgia. In Alabama, We have
another appeal from the Governor, who is
| afraid that the enforcement of the conscript
act will lead to popular comm otion. Gala
| bama,'' he says, ssmust be true to herself. and
do her duty in the emergency" He regrets
to find many patriots lingering about their
homes, and he calls upon them not to let their
| brothers bear the burden of an unequal con-
test. and he inplores the people to give aid to
the conscription officers ..in arresting and
coercing those who yield to no gentler MEANS .
In North Carolina there is a grievous COM
plant from Governor Vance, commanding the
stragglers to return to their colors. These
declarations appearing at the same time indi-
cate great changes in the South. The tide is
| turning, and men who have ridden upon If
seem likely to drift into infamy. Perhaps the
proclamations of Lee, Shorter, and Vance are
the answers of the Cotton States to the Presi-
dents proclamation. They show distrust and
| decentralization in the South, and seem to in
dicate counter revolution of formidable
character. Now, when the South is reeling
and tottering, let strike the blow it so
sincerely breads, and the rebellion will be at an
eud.-Press

A PTIFUL SlGHT.-Gne of the most pitiful
and humilitating sights that has yet come
within the range of our vision. was that of a
drunken army Chaplain, on February 3rd, who
came reeling out of Strawberry alley into
Third Street. He was filthy and furious.
Oaths leaped from his lips with the seeming
huency with which whiskey must have run
down his throat. He was only disgrace to
himself. Neither religion, valor, patriotism
or purity suffer by the action of such men,
because they are brutes that only need deve;
oping, and the sooner they are known and ex-
terminated the better for the cause of religion
and of freedom.-Harrisburg Telegraph.

The certificates of indie ebtedness, recently
stolen from the office of the United States
Treasurer, have been recovered. They were
in sums of 5000 each, and amounted to two

thief found it useless to offer them.
On the 4th, passenger train on the STEM

cars were more or less injured. One car was
smashed, and another burned up.

The NashvMe onion truly remarks: .sFhere
can be no true Democracy while treason keeps
its armies in the field, except Dar Democracy.
The office hunters who, at time like this.
preach peace, peace, in the North NAV be
Democrats in name, but. in reality they are
tories and traitors, who would be in arms a.
galnst their Government were they living in
the so-called confederacy.'' 1t is said of a
celebrated parsonage, that he cannot, with all
his skill and cunning, conceal his cloven foot ;
and so it is with our peace Democrats. They
tried long and hard to palm themselves off as
loyal men, bnt that "secesh'' foot would stick
out; and now all men understand that to say
man is peace Democrat is the same as To
say that he is a follower of JEFF. Davis.

THE DEMOCRATIC LEADERS.

Below we give several extracts From speech
es made be fore a Democratic" Club in Phil
adelphia, which plainly show the objects OF
the leaders of that party in Pennsy lyania.
Mr.. Peter Mccall, at a meeting held on jan
uary 29th, two days after the arrest of Boi-
leau, in the course of some remarks said
e'The lawless course of the Administration
! will provoke lawlessness on the part OF the
/ people. II they could not be protected I'M
| der and by the law, it was natural that they
should seek redress outside of the law"
! Mr.. John Bulitt, another speaker on the
same occasion, said:
| "The Administration is trampling upon the
| rights and privileges which have been ac-
| quired by the blood and struggles of two cen
| turies. d. There is point beyond which
human endurance could not be expected to
extend. =. The fire that has long been
| smothered beneath wet blanket has well
nigh dried its covering and is liable to break
| forth in a blaze at any moment. sGire us lib
srty, or giue as DEATH may, long, be seen
in white letters on red flags"
| At a meeting of the same Club, held on
Tuesday evening, February 3D., Reverend
Chauncey C. Burr, made use of the following
| language:
s'Abraham Lincoln is greater traitor than
| j. ferson Davis. What has JEFF Davis done
He has merely infringed upon our Territorial
jurisdiction. He has not struck at the Consti-
tuition. Carry the pluck which you have dis
played this evening with you into the street,
In all these extracts we have direct appeal
to resist the authority of the National Govern
ment, should the opportunity present itself.
That is just the doctrine that the Rebels in
the South have been proclaming. They as
sert that their rights were trampled upon
that they were not protected by the laws
that they were forced to seek redress outside
of the law,-and hence, their armed resistance
to the authority of the Government. Both
the Rebels of the South and their sympathl-
seIs in the North, urge the same p lea in ex-
tenuation of their hostility to the legally con-
stituted authorities, and both have proclaimed
the same watchward, ''Gipe us liberty, or gire
US Ideath'!
1t is high time that honest Democrats
shonld understand the true position of their
leaders, who are always thus ready to offer
palliating excuses tor the Rebels. The ReU-
| erend leader above quoted says that ssJeff Da-
Wis has not struck at the Constitution but
| has ''merely infringed upon our territorial
jurisdiction. How very mild !-ssmerely in
finged." But, forsooth, should the war de-
partment order the arrest Of one of these SYM
pathisers for uttering language ''tendng to the
support and encouragement of the rebe llion
against the Government" and immediately it
is denounced as gross violation Of the Consti-
| tHtiOn, and Abraham Lincoln proclaimed as
ssa greater traitor than left Davis ,,-and vet
/ these men profess to be the true friends of
the Union, whilst they are engaged in dis
seminating dissentions and disoyal senti-
ments. Loyal Democrats can you any longer
| doubt their real object
