TmpOrtant Admission.

Some time since we published what
purported TO be an extract from the Rich
mond Wing, as follows:
slavery has stabbed itself to death.
Il hRs sinned against light-committed
the objectionable sin, and must die"
We stated, at the time, that if the ex-
tract was genuine, il was an admission
Of the highest Importance; but it has
proved = cansFd, and the Wing hsslens
to repudiate It; but in 90 doing makes
another admission Of far more imPor-
tsnce than the one quoted above. 1t
Saws:
So far from believing that slavery
must die, we have long held the opinion
that it is She normal and only humane
relation which labor can sustain toward
cauifal. When this war Is over, we shall
urve that every Yankee who ventures to
prt foot on Southern soil be made . slave
for life. and wear an iron collar IS >
badge Of inferiOrity to the African.
There spoke the soul Of the rebellion.
The war was inaugurated that the oil
garcby should be enabled to reduce all
IabOrers to servitude; to establish sin
gle relation between the rich and the
pOOr-thvt Of master aud slave. Is this
admission no incentive to the poor white
man Of the South to refuse longer to sub
nit to the demand Of The Richmond con-
spirAtOrs

News through Rebel sources.

The object in suppressing army newp,
which would otherwise obtain publicity
through loyal papers, is to prevent it
from reaching the rebels, thereby ena-
bling them to profit by it; therefore,
whenever it is ascertained that they
know all, il is no longer incumbent upon
US to remain silent.
That mighty preparations have been
long in progress, for an important move
ment, from several points, in the direc-
ton of Mobile and Montgomery, has
been known to us for several weeks; but
we have said nothing, hitherto, and only
speak Of the subject now, because we
seein extracts from the rebel press, that
everything is known to the authorities
in Dixie.
Our forces are concentrating in large
numbers, on the North bank of Lake
Poncharirain, and near Pascsgouls, and
the people Of Mobile are fearful that an
attack will be immediately made upon
their city; but we presume their fears
prepOnderste over their judgment; that
the expedition will await cooperation
from other points. Secondly, we learn
from these papers, that = strong expedi-
ton of infantry and artillery is moving
from Vicksburg toward Jackson, but
its destination beyond that place, is
mystery. Will it move directly on
Montgomery, or in the direction Of Mo-
bileY Perhaps that will depend on cir
cumstaDcs; if needed at the latter place,
il viii so there if moi, it viii doubtless
proceed directly 20 the centre Of Ala
bHma, and toward Georgia.
A third expedition is also on foot,
consisting exclusively Of cavalry, mount
ed infantry snd light artillery; and is
to start, or has started, from the vicinity
Of Holly Springs, and viii doubtless
Tor il has sufficient strengih--proceed to
She very hesrl Of the cotton Siates-seize
and hold communication betseenAtlanta,
and the Gulf, and form = junction with
eur forces on the right Of Chattanooga.
II viii be seen that our army has =
large contract on hand; bat it will win,
We have no doubt II the weather is
pleasant, We shall have important news
before The first Of March.

In another column will be found an
important communication from an old
and well-known citizen of Williamson
county, which will be read with interest.
His objection to being placed on par
with returned rebels, is natural, and
should attract the attention of those upon
whom depend the decision of the ques-
tions he proposes. Men in bis position
should not be compelled TO take the
amnesty oath; it is unjust to them.
As 10 whether or not soldiers can vote
at their posts, viii depend upon the &C
ton Of the President, and the Military
Governor, his agent. We do not know
whether the subject has, or has not, been
under discussion; and certainly no de-
cision has been published. Justice,
however, demands that those in the
United States service should have q vote ;
and as they cannot dispense to their re-
spsciive counties, polls should be opened
at regimental headquarters.
Gov. johnson has gone to Washington,
and doubtless will there lay before the
President The true situation 81 things
here, and we have no doubt but the
President will willingly modify his plan
Of reconstruction 80 as to relieve original
Union men from the stigma of being
placed in thesame category with traitors,
who have returned, and accepted the
amnesty, solely to save their property.
We would suggest that a petition be cir
cuIsted among the soldiers, and other
originally loyal citizens, asking immunity
from such degradation. We have no
doubt but Mr.. Lincoln viii consider, and
act favOrably upon a petition coming
from such a source. Our correspondent
can render himself benefactOr, if he
will inaugurste such movement

The rebel CONSUMPTION law is not 80
sweeping, after all, as represented. The
President, members of Congress, the Gov
errors Of States, and members of the
Legislatures, and such persons as either a
STATE or Confederate executive may designate,
are exempt. But these are not all who
are thus relieved Of Military duty. tits
not enough that the leaders can except IS
many friends as they please, from the
rigors of camp life, and the dangers of
the battle field; another class must be
made exempt, to keep up the dignity Of
the oligarchy. Each plantation on
which is employed twenty negroes, is
entitled 10 an exemption in favor Of one
white man; either the owner, or such
man as he may designate, which of course
is the exemption of the former.
A rich mans war, and poor msn's fight.
The wealthy family with twenty ne
grOes to work for il, cannot be bereaved;
while the only support of the wife and
children of the poor man, is snstohed
away. But this is all quite natural; the
war was commenced 10 behalf of the
interests of = class. and Is is fit, that it
be carried on in accordgnce with the
original programme.

viii yOu be so kind as to answer one
question, IS we all know you labor for the
good of the army, viz
Can soldiers, who have been in the
United States army for eighteen months
past, vote for county officers, provided
they get to their respective counties, or
will they bs required to take the amnes-
ty oathT =.
We only ask this, as we do not wish 70
be put on a. par with rebels, who merely
take the oath to save property, and seven
out of ten will vote for = rebel in prefer
ence 10 known Union men. The taking
of the oath does not change the man; lei
him prove his loyalty by his works. He
has proven himself to be 8 rebel, so now
let him prove his loyalty by giving aid
to the Union cause, in voting for Union
men. viii venture the prediction, that
there will be men running for Office who
few months ago did all that within them
lay for the rebel cause.
These rebels have brass enough to do
anything. There are many Of them like
one DR.. W. B., who now has protection
papers for everything he has. On the
18th of August last he was lying out
through conscious guilt-in the bushes,
a cavalry scout passed along, most of
them being his neighbOrs, and having
dismounted men took one of his horses.
In few days after the Doctor went to
Franklin, took the Data, and immediately
wrote to the authorities that certain
Captain had taken his hsrse, he being
loyal man, and always had been. Now
it is well known, and can be proven, that
about sixty days before he took out his
protection papers, he, the said DR.. W. B !,
got up 3 petition and went round the
neighbOrhOOd getting signatures TO assist
in burning Union peoples property in
that vicinity. If the DoctOr does not
like this, will give him my name and
prove more against him if be wants it.
