ADoLlTIosIsTs What will the cops
harp on, now that the rebels have turned
abolitiopist., by Offering freedom and
fifty acres of land to their slaves who
will fight for them. Abolitionists are
getting plenty, now days. We com
mend this subject 10 those who ars to
address the copperheads at the court
house next Saturday, They used to be
down on all aboli,iopis.s. How is it
now.

- The rebels have concluded to srrn
their able.bodied slaves, and give them
their freedom and so acres Of land. This
alone shows tho desperate straits in
which the rebels find themselves. As
the Day Book denounces President Lin.
coin As "wurring against the Almighty"
in freeing the blacks, we shall expect it
to give JEFF. Davis fits for doing the
Same thing. No, We shall not expect it.
We forgot that President Lincoln freed
them to put down rebellion, while JEFF.
Davis frees them to help on rebellion.

Of our country will have been determined.
If President Lincoln is reelected the

belion will succeed and We shall have
two governments in our old borders or
else We shall all be brought under the
JEFF. Davis government, in accordance
with the advice Of Gov. Seymour Of New
York. We have no fears of the result,
except from our own neglect. If all
those who are favorable to tho re election
Of Abraham Lincoln will but vote, all
will be we'll. We believe the cause Of
the government is gaining daily. In fact
We know it. It is true that the Courier
says that people are changing to Nc.

but judging from what We know Of the

for their followers, but also that it is
better to tell big lie than small ono.
As examples We would refer to the state.
ments ofthe Courier and other papers Of
that class in reference to the late cleo
lions. In speaking Of Pennsylvania the
Courier says: ''The cid Keystone State
" has covered herself and tho ns.ioa oil
with glory and honor. Pennsylvania,
"which always votes for the successful
candidate for President, has not only
gone democratic in the election just
" held, but her vote indicates a majority
ain November for Mcclellan of not less
ethan 10000" When It is known that
Pennsylvania gave but 166 majority for
the cops on the home vote, and thst tho
Union majority of tho soldiers vote al
ready foots up between twelve and tbir-
teen thousand, and not al 10, and that
the soldiers in Sheridsn's army did not
get to vote, it will be seen thst the story
of the Courier is q whopper, aud yet
most of its readers will swallow it all
-Four years ago one Of them stuck to it,
for more than a week after tho election,
that Mr.. Lincoln was not elected The
Senate Of Pennsylvania will stand 10
Union to IA Democrats. Tho House will
stand 60 Union to 40 Democratic, and
We have gained several members of Con-

says: "Thousands Of Mcclellan men

stories of the same kind, such a. that
Michigan, Wisconsin and

THE WAR DEPARTMENT.

. EroW ne FffHtss
Rumors continue to reach us from Washing
ton of actual or impending Cabinet changes.
One Of the latest asserts that Secretary Stanton
has resigned, and that his resignation has bcen
| or will be, accepted. Upon what ground, or for
what reason, this alleged action is takcn we arc
not aware. Possibly something may have hap
pened 10 make II necessary, at least expedient.
But lacking knowledge of any such cause, VIC
venture TO hope that the rumor is without foun-
dation. We may be entirely mistaken Ia our
estimate OF the practical working force aud vigor
Of the Prdsident's Cabinet, but in our Judgment,
that body cannot afford just now to lose the
ability, industry, and indomilable energy which
MIR. Stanton brings to the administration of the
War Department.
1t is not easy to form just idea of the pro.
digious amount Of labor which the conduct of
the affairs OF the Depar mcnt involves. Even in

it very likely that some changes in the Clbinet

MOBILE.

IRON Mf IFiiURs.
Rebel despatcbes from Mobile, August s,
announce the evacuation of Fort Powell
and the surrender of Fort Gaines The former
is FORE mounting twelve guns on Little Dau-
phine island, commanding Grants Pass; tho lat
ter a powerful casemated work opposite Fort
Morgan, with about sixty guns Of all calibres.
Powell was blown up on Friday last. and Gaines
surrendered on Monday. There remained only
Fort Morgan, with the capture Of which Admiral
FarrOgut will have complete possession Of the
entrance 70 Mobile Bav, aud NAV thcnccforth
operate at his leisure upon the CITY.
There is nothing in the despatch 10 show why
Fort Gaines surrendered but much gtscouide
about humiliaing circumstances &C. The fort is
said 20 have been proyisiourd for six months,
and there seem 10 be suspicious of treachery on
the eide of the Rebels. Bat their previous tolc
gram was 10 the effect that bOmbardment of
Gaines was going on, and unless protected like
Morgan 10y exterior earthworks, the masonry
may easily have been knocked 70 pieces by the
heavy armament Of Farragut's fleet.
Puaski, n far stronger fortihCatOn, reckoucd
second in impregnahility on the Atlantic coast,
was forced TO capitulate IN eighteen hours OF ac-
tuHi hrc from very inadequate batteries the
heaviest guns In GimOres works being two 10
inch Coumbads. The rest were riHed 42-
Founders and 30.pounders, using James and Par
rott prujCctiles respectively, and there were in
fact but eleven guns that effected the preaching
kof the pan coupe, and compelled the surrender
OF The fort. Il need be no matter Of surprise,
therefore, if Admiral Parmgut, With feet
mounting numerous heavy guns has in three
days brought Gaines 20 terms, and the Rebel flag
TO the dust.
HNo hint is given Of the effect of this surrender
upon Fort Morgan, which lies right opposite Fort
Gaines on the east shore of the channel within
easy range, but il clearly must hasten materially
the reduction of that formidable work. Present
news is so good that VIC can we'll afford to wait
for further intelligence, that the successes
which Admiral FarTagut has already achieved
are brilliant and solid, and that the ndomitabe
old hero is pushing his good fortune with rapidity
and resolution.

ashamed Of their French beds, as they were
ASHAMED TO exhibit cottage piinos, ouc-horse

subalterns, and miscellaneous bachelors. And
then some inventor Ia pertdious Albion devised
spring mattresses; and, though his Countrymeu
