The Northern Democrats are still welded
TO their old idol. They still hold fast to
the delusion that Southern slavery some
how is to come back to them some fine day,
and restore to them the spOils and plunder
as the national political balance of power.
But this new idea Of the complete and per
manent removal Of this stumbling block Of
slavery by constitutional amendment is
rapidly working its way through all the
channels Of public opinion; SO thst we
anticipate that before the close Of the
present session Of Congress msjority Of
tvo-thirds will be found even in the
House In favor Of the scheme. Forty.six
members were absent or failed 70 vote on
the question on Monday, and they, we
guess, are mostly men who are now
sstride the fence. Their voices added to
the affirmative vote given will make up
the required two-thirds' vote to pass the
! amendment; and it will not be long before
these fence men will learn on which side
to come down. Let the friends Of the

PROM NKWBERN.

NEWBERs, February "a.
Major General Peck since his return has been
busily engaged in making q rigid examination
of all the Notifications of the Department. He
has received reliable information Of the enemy's
intentions to make another effort to dispossess
US Of our possessions in East Tennessee with the
assistance of three rebel iron-elads, plated ten
inches thick, land which are nearly ready to
move simultaneously down the Neuse, Roanoke
and Tar rivers. General Peck is taking meas
ures to impede the progress of these iron
elsds, which purpose moving conjointly with
land forces against the three most important
points on these three rivers NeWbern, Plym-
outh and Washington.
1t appears to be the impression both within
and outside our lines that Virginia Is to be evac-
uAted and the battle-ground to be transferred to
North Carolina. Hence the desire OF the enemy
to make formidable and desperate effort to OBJ
tain possession Of this productive portion Of the
State and its extensive water communications
before reinfOTcements can arrive for US.

ton that North CsTolinA would be lost to the
Confederacy unless this achievement Is realized

pledge the further cooperation Of this State
with the Confederaoy.
The presence Of En additional number OF for
midable gunboats and q small increase to our
present land force, which General Peck Is anx-
ious to obtain, will make the enemy's efforts
/ frultless, and turn the existing conditional CO.
operation mentioned in our favor.
