There may be some good.natured citi-
zens who hesitate to believe that it is The
purpose of the radicals TO centralize this
government and create a military despot-
ism. Perhaps they dream that when
the war is over the tyrants will giye-back
70 the people their statute Liberties, The
following is but one among thousand
evidences to the contrary; On Tuesday,
Senator Sumner presented q petition in
the Senate, alleging, That the African
material is the best for soldier, and ask
ing that Congress shall establish, after
The close Of The present sOar, a regular ar
my of 100000 men,, composed entirely
of negroes, to be differed, by white men
entirely" 80.
1t must be noted that petitions eman-
ating from peace men have been 'invaria-
bly, rejected by the radical majorities in
Congress, and all resolutions, aiming at
a peaceable settlement of our domestic
quarrel, have been laid upon the table,
But this petition, which proposes to os-
tablsh an immense force of black ianiza-
ries to hold the men of our country in
subsection, in the time of peace, received
the attention of the Senate, and was
referred TO the Committee of Military
Affairs Frcemen of the North, how do
like the prospect, after the close of the
war F-N Y WewS.

LATEST NEWS.
Opening of the Spring Campaign.

The early spring campaign has so far
proved a conspicuous failure. Every move
ment SO far attempted in the grand cam-
paigu of 1864 has been either disapoint-
ment or disaster The ostensible object
of The Florida expedition was TO cnt of
some beef cattle from the rebels, and re-
store the State to the Union; the real OBJ
ject was to get three electoral votes for
Mr.. Lincoln, but it resulted, as we all
know in the bucthery of some fifteen hun
bred poor fellows, and the driving back
of our forces.
General Thomas next attempted TO
capture Dalton; but he was compelled TO
retreat without effccting his object. Gen.
Schofeld was reinforced and ordered TO
drive Longstreet out Of East Tennessee;
but the latter slipped away, and, if we are
to believe the War Department, is now
in Richmond with his army.
But then the country was told, with a
great flourish of trumpets, that General
Sherman had started on an expedition
from Yicksburg which was designed to
ruin the confoderacy. He was to march
east capturing Meridian, Selma and
Montgomery on his route, and finally
flank Atlanta, while Thomas was to come
down on Johnson's front and destroy the
last rebel army in the West. The ad-
ministralion organ in this city, the Times,
promised wonderful things from the Sher-
man expedition. About great strategic
triangles," "water bases" the vast i'm
portance Of Selma to end the war, c,R de
SacS, and the like, which look very wise
on paper, but which the course of events
has shown to be sad nonsense. Yet it
was copied into all the country admins
tration papers, and public expectation was
wrought up to high pitch touching the
military operations in the West. There
was to be great cavalry raid, also, to
destroy all the railroads in Mississippi
and Alabama. But, sad to say, our cav
airy were driven back 10 Memphis after
fight in which they did not distinguish
themselves, while Gen. Sherman, after
reaching Meridian, is on his way back to
Vicksburg without having accomplished
anything he undertook.
Nor is this all. The capture of Rich
mond was also promised. Although
Generals Meade and Halleck opposed the
rash venture, yet "Honest Old Abe
gave his consent, and Gen. Fitzpatrick
started off with 5000 men to capture
Richmond by surprise. All the chances
were against the success Of the venture;
yet the country was humbuggcd by the
administration papers to expect that the
capital of the corfcderacy would be in our
hands this week, our prisoners set free,
jeff. Davis and his cabinet taken prison
ers of war. But what are the facts p
Why, that the raid is failure, and Gen.
Fitzpatrick is within Buffers lines on the
peninsula, after losing a couple hundred
of men and some valuable officers.
So end the first movements of the
spring campaign Of 1854. Dissapoint-
ment and disaster, instead of success and
victory.-M Y. World

WE have the gratifying assurance that
it is seriously contemplated by the d. q
M. Railway Company to make a change
of base in their railway at this point
The engineer recently sent by the Com
pany TO make survey for a line of fence,
to protect against drifting sand, along the
sand hills in the vicinity Of the depot, we
are informed, reports adversely to its ex-
pediency and suggests that the interests
of the Company would be greatly sub
served by changing the terminus of the
road 10 this side of the river, and thinks
that becoming liberality on the part of
our citizens, as respects a right of way
and suitable grounds for the depot build
ing, will be great inducement for the
Company TO give our side of the river
tho full benefit of the terminus. of the
road. We are told by one of the en-
ploycs of the Company that it costs moro
TO keep the first half mile eastward of the
depot clear of the drifting sand, each year,
than the entire expense of keeping the
track in repair thence eastward to Berlin,
a distance of nearly twenty miles. Let
no reasonable liberality be withheld on
the part of our citizens TO ensure to our
village the immense advantages of the ter
minus of the road. t-. s.

We are Informed by Capt Warren
that fine propeller, now being built for
Mr.. Truesdell, of Muskegon, is to DO put
on the line this season between Muskegon
and Chicago, in connection with the pro-
peller OttawG, forming daily commune
cation between these points, touching each
way ut Grand Haven. The immense
prospective operations al Muskegon, du-
ring the coming season, renders large adj
ditional freighting facilities necessary
The numbering operations of the last win
ter, ON the Muskegon River, the most
vigorous perhaps for several years past,
will insure a sufficient supply of logs to
enable all the mills to work briskly during
the season of navigation, and the lumber
shipped from that port will be probably
largely in excess of the shipments of any
other season hitherto, and consequent
increase Of general business and trade.
