A SLAVE EkrrRE.--Read the follow
ing bold and shameless avowals of the
Examiner:
The establishment of the Confederacy
is verify distinct reaction against the
course Of the mistaken civilization of the
age. For liberty, equality, fraternity,
VIC have deliberately substituted slavery,
suoordination and government. The So
cisl and political problems which rack
and torture modern society we have un-
dertaken to solve for ourselves, in our
own way, and upon our own principles.
That among equals equality is right !;
among those who are naturally uneq ual
equality is chaos that there arc slave ra-
ces born to serve, master races born to
govern. Such are the fundamental prin-
clpies which We inherit from the ancient
world, which VIC lifted up in the face OF
a perverse generation tha. has forgotten
the wisdom of its fathers; by those prin-
c'ples We live, and in their defense We
have shown ourselves ready to die. Rev.
erently we feel that our confederacy is a
God-aent missionary to the nations, with
great truths to preach. We must speak
them boldly, and whose hath ears to hear
let him hear

THE SrsorNo OF THE BLACK SWAN
The concert of the Black Swan at the
Atheneum last night was success and a
triumph, against the greatest disadvanta-
ges under which candidate for public
favor ever appeared before popular au-
dience. To say nothing Of her race and
her appearance, the detestab bic Hall with
its dirt and dust and gas-rhoking atmos-
phere, and the sound esco ping into space
was too much for any ordinary singer.
Nevertheless the audience was so de
lighted that they induced her to stay an
other night, and an effort will be made to
procure more suitable room. And those
who failed TO get out last night will have
an opportunity tonight, such as they may
never enjoy again.

Jefferson ON 50 Arbitrary Arrexts.

Jefferson ON 50 Arbitrary Arrests"
Some years ago, Gen Wilkinson made
IN arbitrary arrest" Of Aaron Burr, who
was believed 10 be engaged in an unlaw
ful enterprise on the Western rivers. A
few persons were found then to object to
the act. and to stir up agitation sgainst
General Wilkinson and President Jeffer-
son. The latter, in replying TO letter Ct
a friend, used the following language
:" The question you propose--whether
circumstances do not sometimes occur
which make il duty in officers OF trust
to assume authorities beyond the laws
easy OF solution in principle, but some.
times embarrassing in practice. A strict
observance of the written law is doubtless
one Of the high duties of good citizen,
but it Is not the highest. The law Of ne.
cessity, of self representation, of saving our
country when in danger, are all of higher
obligations. To lose our country by a
scrupulous adherence 10 written law,
would be to lose itself with life, liberty.
property, and all those who are enjoying
them with us thus absurdly sacrifice the
end to the means.
In Judging the case, We are bound TO
consider the state Of the information, cor
rect or incorrect, which he Wilkinson J
possessed. He expected Burr and his
baud from above, British fleet from be-
low, and he knew there was formidable
conspiracy within the city, Under these
circumstances was be jus,iiabls--ist In
seizing notorious conspirators On this
there can be but two opinions one of the
guilty aud their accomplices, the other of
all honest men. I'd. In sending them to
the Seat Of Government when the writ
ten law gave them right to trial in the
Territory The danger Of their rescue
of their continuing their machiastions,
the tardiness aud weakness of the law,
apathy of the Judges, active patronage Of
the whole tribe Of lawyers, unknown dis
position of the juries. and hourly expect
alton of the enemy, salvation Of the city
and Of the Union itself, which would have
been convulsed to its center had that con-
spiracy succeeded; oil these constitute d
law Of necessity and self-preservation, and
render the salas popni supreme over the
written law. The officer who is called to
act on this superior ground, does indeed
ri himself on the Justice Of the controll-
ing powers Of the Constitution, and his
station makes it his duty to incur that
risk"

I In spite If our civil war the Free
States of this country, are becoming
more than ever the asylum for the lovers
of free government in all lands. The
Immigrants Of the past two years, are
people OF more wealth aud education
than usual. This would seem 70 indi-
cate that since The slavery rebellion broke
out, our Government has excited che
sympathy Of the European people more
than 1t ever did before: ,S-- -'-4
The immigration at the port of New
York alone for the year up 20 this date
is compared at 10000, while that for
1858 was 76 600, making an increase Of
81 600, or 5000 more than the entire
Of total Of 1852. Between Septem-
Der l and 80, OF the present year, IL 384
emigrants arrived in the city in twenty
one sailing vessels and setenteen steam
ers. Daring the came period Of 1862
84G2 enligrants arrived in forty, ,thrte

Thus it seems. that within the last
eight months, the immigration into the
Free States haS been one hundred and
ten per cent more than it was for twelve
months previous This fact illustrates
the extraordinary growth of the anti
slavery section of the country. The
slave States receive none Of this numerical

PHoNoGRAFHY.--We wish we could inn
press upon the public mind the import
ance sf Photography and the ease with
which a knowledge of it can be acquired
by an intelligent youth or adult. 1t is .
system of short hand which should form
q part of the education of every child /;
and no professional man should pass it
by. It depriyes intellectual labor of half
Of it's burden --ho one can think so rap.
idly that be cannot by it's aid put his
thoughts upon paper; and no one can
speak so fast that the photographic re-
porter cannot catch his words verbatim.
And yet the ience which aceomplishes
such results as these, is almost as easily
learned as the alphabet. The value OF
photography was proven in the Court of
Inquiry called TO investigate the military
conduct Of Gen. Buell.. The testimony
was taken down in photography BY Mr..
Ben. Pittman; and bis estimable lady,
understanding the sciente, transcribed il
in long hand, thus rendering him invalu-
able assistance. The pile of manuscript
which accumulated, during the investi-
cation, was over two feet in height. The
labor would have been immense and very
low without the aid OF Photography
with its aid, il was eompArativeIy light
Mr.. j W. Dolbeaf is one of the best
teachers of PhOnography. We have seen
this proved satisfactorily; and know
whereof We speak. We, therefore, com
mend him 10 the public. He is also pre-
pared to furnish pupils with the neces-
sary photographic books, pens, pa
per, &c. ''-' .5a.
Letno one who wishes to become pro-
foientin this beautiful science, fail tc
avail himself of Mr.. DPS services. iA
