The Rebels have their troubles with
Generals just the same as loyal people
Bragg has been removed aud Longstreet
takes his place. If Bragg's late battle
was such victory for the Confederates,
why is he removed? And Echo answers,
Because his boasted victory was disas-
trous defeat.
We have New Orleans dates to the
the 9th, with further particulars Of the af-
fair at Galveston. The expedition from
New Orleans up the Mississippi had not
started, nor was it known when it would
be off. The Rebels were encroaching up
on the Union lines IN the neighborhood
of Denaldsonville, but no danger was ap-
pretended therefrom. Admiral Farragut
had sent the Brooklyn, the Sciota, and
half dozen of his best ships to recap
ture the Harriet Lane at all hazards,
and, if possible, to destroy the Rebel gun
boats in Bayou Buffalo. Of this expsdi-
tion nothing has been heard in New
Orleans up to the Sth inst. Gen. Banks
has been in command month, but moth
ing of his plans had transpired. 1t was
known, however, that he was not idle
Most of his troops had gone to Baton
Rouge. The disaster at Ficksburg was
already known at New Orleans.
Jeff. Davis's Message to his Congress
is printed in the Richmond papers. It's
keynote is the entire independence of
the so called Confederacy, and upon that
stipulation only can there be any attempt
at peace. He has no idea of armistice or
arrangement on any other basis.
The bill authorizing the issue of one
hundred millions in legal-tender notes has
been signed, and is now law. The
notes are particularly for the payment of
the army.

BOsToN. Jan. l3.-Gen. Butler had
a great and most enthusiastic reception
to day. The route Of the procession was
lined with multitudes of people, and Fan
euil Hall was overfowing. He spoke
with great feeling and emotion. He aD-
nounced his readiness to 90 wherever
his duty called him. Ia his judgment
we had exhausted Cancellation, and there
should be no peace till the rebels were
content to receive it as part of the Union,
His plan for paying the war debt was the
introduction Of free labor at the South,
whereby labor would become honorable,
and by which more abundant crops OF
cotton could be raised with profit, at less
cost than by slave labor. Cotton co1ld
be raised with profit at less than ten cents
per pound, Put a len per cent tax per
pound for it. We are now paying fifty
to sixty cents a pound upon cotton, and
we have an internal revenue from this
source alone enough to pay the interest
on a war debt twice as large as that we
now have. Besides, England ana France,
who have done so much to prolong this
war, would thus be obliged to pay large
proportion Of the debt.

Only about 200 of the Anderson Troop
took part in the Mnrfreesboro fight, the
main portion, about 500, having mutt
MED, and would not 60 under fire. This
troop was principally recl uited at Phlad
The gallant 200 lost two good officers,
Majs. RoSengarten and Ward, and sever
al men.
Parson Brownlow writes The "East
Tenneseeans are perfectly delighted with
the idea of going under Rosecrans, and
of his leading them into East Tennessee
And as they approach that country, ad.
wise all secessionists who have not made
their peace with God to leave for parts
uknown."
The Richmond Examiner mournfully
Acknowledges the utter defeat Of the Reb-
els at Murfreesboro, aud says that East
Tennessee is laid open to Rosecrans, aud,
should he enter it, 100000 men would
be required to drive him out.

"WHAT BECOMES OF ALL THE
CHANGE|-This question, so often asked
and so seldom satisfactorily answered the
Lancaster Erpress now settles beyond
cavil, at least to the amount Of $50 600
Recently Abram Hershey, au old bache-
lor residing in West uempfeld township,
in that county, departed this life, but,
like other accumulatorS Of that the love of
which is the root Of all evil, had to leave
his worldly wealth behind. The heirs Of
the deceased, in oyerhauling his effects
discovered, slowed away in match boxes,
night caps, old stockings, and all sorts Of
queer repositories, over fifty thousand
dollars in gold and silver. They depos-
tied it in the Lancaster County Bank,
the transfer employing several carriages,
The entire pile amounted TO $4,000 in
gold and over $4,000 in silver. This
has of course, been the accumulation Of
years. When the deceased got a bank
note, he. lost no time in going to the bank
to demand its equivalent in specie, which
he carefully slowed away. He was no
doubt afraid to trust the banks during
life, but, alas the vanity Of human pre-
caution, the banks became the custodi-
ars of it at last! 1t would be interesting
to know how many more thousands are
hid away in the country in like manner,
aud that too by people who "have no
change" when you offer them a note in
payment.

The SITUATION IN MIDDLE TENNEs-

The SITUATION IN MIDDLE TENNEs-
sEE.-The latest advices from Middle
Tennessee indicate just another strug-
gle between the armies of Gems Ros-
encrans and Bragg will be neces-
sary to clear that part of the country
of the Rebel forces. If the Rebel Gen
eral proposes to make good his assurances,
and ventures upon another trial Of arms
before surrendering the State to our
troops, at his present position in the vi
cinlty of Tullahoma, another battle is
likely to take place within two days
march of the lighting ground before Muir
freesbore. Gen. Rosencrans seems to
appreciate the necessity of the destruction
of the hostile armies as vital condition
Of the suppression Of the Rebellion, bet
ter than any mother commander, and hence
We are inclined to think that should the
enemy again accept battle, the nearer it
is to his base of operations the more well
come it will be to him. It is true the
section held by the enemy abounds with
positions most advantageous for warfare.
But, as General Rosencrans has been re-
enforced by at least 20, 600 men, relieved
from guard duty along the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad, by the opening of a
new and secure line of communications
via the Cumberland River, and re-sup-
piled with artillery, more than sufficient
to make up for the losses sustained, we
have no fears as to the result of the
renewal Of the strife.

The New York Herald in one Of its ii
rados against law, liberty and order, init
mates that New York and New Jersey
are about to assume dictatorial power In
the control of the national government
This is equal to the HeralPs suggestion
to make Mcclellan military dictator. 1t
is fact not generally known to the pub
lie, but still lncontrovertible, that the ed.
itorial columns of the New York Herald
are controlled entirely by uunaturalized
Englshmen. This accounts for the bi:-
ter fulminations which are so persistently
put forth in the columns of the Herald,
to embarrass the operations of the war to
crush the rebellion. Englishmen, with
few exceptions, hate the Union, and by
the labors Of this class the New York
Herald has become one of the most dan
gerous enemies with which loyal men
have to contend in this struggle.

ENAN CIPATI0N IN MIssOURI.-Con-
gress moves onward intrepidly in the
great work Of consolidating and defending
the nationality and freedom of the repub-
lie, Which it began SO vigorously at the
opening Of the session. Already, since
it resumed work this winter, 1t has ad-
mitted West Virginia as State, and the
House has passed finally the bill TO extend
the requisite financial aid to enab le Mis-
souri, to get rid Of slavery forever. This
is one of the most important acts ever
passed by Congress, and will have the
effect to settle the question, as regards
Missouri, past all doubts-the Governor
and Legislature cf that State being em-
phatically in favor Of emancipation
Immediately. We entertain no doubt
that this act will be promptly passed by
the Senate and be signed by the President.
Missouri is now fully embarked on the
great experiment Of emancipation. Her
fortunes henceforth are no more identified
with the south, but with those of the free
north, with whose institutions and pros
perity she becomes blended. This meas
ure is in the interest of nationality, and
we trust that similar bills may soon be
passed to enable West Virginia and all
the other border slave states to get rid Of
the burthen ofslavery. Let Us show the
world that we are determined to be one
nation forever, and to consolidate our
nationality against all future dangers.

A New south side view.

1t is cheering to discover even glim-
mer of the light of sound sense shining
out from the darkness Of the slave region.
Ex. Governor Hicks who has recently
been appointed as U. S. Senator in place
of Mr.. Pearce, deceased, is reported to
have recently expressed the opinion, very
decidedly, that there can be no peace
where there is slavery. The Cambridge
htclljgencer, published at the place where
Gen. Hicks resides, reports his opinions
as recently expressed. We extract the
following from the able article in the In
teliigencer:
1t must be clear to any ordinary intel
ligence that, whatever may have been the
aspirations of the leaders Of the Rebellion
for position and power, they never could
have plunged the people of the South
into this diabolical Rebellion but for the
Institution of Slavery. 1t is true that
Slavery may have been the mere protect,
but It was a sure and successful prete1t.
1t secured the Inauguration of the
present Rebellion. And not only so,
but it is now the greatest
strength of the Rebellion. BY the labor
of the slaves, the Rebels are enabled to
fight. The masters can fight all their
lives long, if their slaves furnish them
with food. When the slaves cease to do
this, the masters must cease to fight. a
blow, then, at the labor Of the Rebels,
will be blow at the heart of the Rebel,
ion. With this view of the case, no true
Unionist would arrest the arm that would
strike the death blow to Slavery. It's
death will be the death of the Rebellion
and the death of the Rebellion will
be the life of the nation. Thousands
of our best citizens have died ia the ef-
fort to suppress the Rebellion. There
must be an end to this slaughter We
spare the lives of our brethren. We
must strike the Rebels at their strong
point. Slavery is their strength, Then
let slavery fall In this way, we shall
save the lives of thousands Of our breth-
rem in he field.
"The events of each day induce US to
believe that Slavery must fall with the
Rebellion; or, We should rather have
said, the Rebellion must fall with Sla-
very. 1t becomes more and more appar-
ent that Slavery must be destroyed, to
save the Union, and secure peace to the
nation In this view, we are happy to
be sustained by SO distinguished a patriot
as ex-Gov Hicks. Only a few days since
he remarked within our hearing, that,
{ We can neger hare a stable Gouernment
and peaceful! Union, as long as Sla-
yery c.cists IN the country.' Such is the
intelligent view of that enlightened
statesman. And it cannot be questioned
that current events sustain his opinion
