sage will suffice to silence all objections Of
every sort to the use Of our slaves in the
public defense, if that Or subjugation be
the alternative, Even, the New York
Herald, in its comments on this part of the
Message, condemns " Mr. Lincoln for the
impolicy of pressing N into Q situation
which leaves nothing to bs hoped from his
royal clemency, and which ws.that the
partial Or even the complete sacrifice Of
our social institationsp would be . wise
economy, if essential to the achievement
of our independence, # such should DO

to thank Mr.. Lincoln onca again. iss We

- From ,hs Bishnoad Dhp.ssh, De To-
, The Quincy Dispatch Of the 18th says
the Yankees have been attempting to blow
I'D trains of cars on the Florida Railroad
with torpedoes. On Tuesday last a tor
pedo, containing sixty-eigdt pounds Of
powder, WAS taken up BY our men, between
Baldwin and Gainesville, some fifteen miles
from Baldwin. Two trains had passed over
the torpedo without exploding it. U It was
buried in the centre of the track, and was
to be fred by means of lock and cap at.
tached to musket barrel, and laid under
one of the rails, and connecting With the
torpedo by gutta perchs tube. A piece
of iron happened to be left between the
hammer OF the lock and the cap, which
prevented the explosion when the cars
passed over. .'-u,a,..' ..s,- .,rg au.t
THE UBIQUITOUS BEAuREeARp. -
From the Charleston Mercury, Dec. 10. @-
The whereabouts of this distinguished
officer has of late been mystery. -Four
days ago he was certainly in Macon, Geor-
gia. ~. '~
ANOTHER AAID on POLLARD, Ala.
The Montgomery appeal says that no
little excitement was created In that city
on the 18th ult. by the circulation Of re-
port that large force of Yankees had
landed at Pensacola, and were marching on
Pollard. The figures named as to the
strength Of the party ranged from FIVE to
twenty thousand. Notwithstanding mill
itary movements indicated that the author
tiles were exercised about something Of
Importance, the rumor was regarded a.
principally sensational. A Riding party
may be out, probably nothing more. y
n REVIEW OF wxRRrNs OPERATIONS.
From the Richmond Wing, Dec. 10. y
Our telegraph column contained this
morning, in . condensed form, the latest
news received here with reference to the
Yankee raid on the south side. By way of
review we will state that on Tuesday night
. heavy column of Yankees, composed Of
infantry, artillery and cavalry, left our front
and moved out on the Jerusalem plank
road. They were reported on Wednesday
morning ct Proctors, some twenty miles
distant. and still in motion. This column
Is said to embrace two corps of infantry,
with quantum sutIca Of artillery, but .
small force of cavalry. i
A good many knowing people are exer
cised as to the destination of the raid. If
they have no more cavalry than reported
they will, Of course, soon get to the end of
their journey. On the other hand, ve are
inclined to believe they are better equipped
than reported, and We will soon hear OF the
destruction Of bridges, 30, in the direction
of Weldon. This, we arc frank to admit,
will give us some Inconvenience, but will
not retrieve in the least tho paipahle and
irretrisvable failure which Grant hss made
in his son to Richmond and Petersburg y
Winter, from present appearances, does
seem inclined to wait longer for Uiyssea.
