It should be borne in mind that we have
now no commercial class in this country;
that the banks have Z limited capital OF
about $50, 900 900, and, beyond this sun,
haKeano power 70 purchase GoVerument
honda. The great mass sof our citizens,
then, Of every class, must combine and
take Government securities, and nothing

the public debt must infallibly 20 ahroads
There is no single, class Of our Own citizens
yho have the power to purchase and hold

From New York.

NEw YoRK, Feb. 27.-The Times says
%The Steamship Fulton from Port Royal on
Wednesday last, arrived here at a late hour last
night, bringing information Of sad reverse to
our expedition under Seymour in Florida. e
We are unablr to give the details, because after
the Fulton had put into the bay, she was board~
ed by the Provost Marshal aud Quartermaster,
with orders from Gen. Gilmore to deprive pass
engers of all private letters in their possession.
To passenger by the Fulton we are indebted
for the following main facts of the battle: "On
the afternoon of the Doth, our troops under Sey-
nour met the enemy, $4,000 strong, ID miles be-
yond jacksonville, and 8 miles beyond Sander
son on the Jacksonville and TALLAHASSEE Rail-
road. The battle was desperately fought DUR
ing 3 hours, and at sunset our forces were over
powered by superior numbers, and retired TO
SandersOn, taking With them the greater part OF
their wounded. The 7th Connecticut, 7th New
Hampshire 10th Massachusetts, 18th and I50th
New York, and 9Th U. S. Regulars were engag-
dead on the field. Col. Read Hungarian off,
Ger, was mortally wounded. All the officers OF
Hamilton s battery were wounded. Capt. Ham,
ilton was wounded in the arm, and 1t. Mirick,
wounded in the foot, are at Gilmore's Headquar-
ters at Hilton Head. Col. Guy Henry of the
10th Massachusetts had three horses shot under
him but escaped unhurt.
The Cosmopolitan arrived at Beaufort on
Monday evening with 140 wounded. Colonel
Read was among them, who was living when
the Fulton left, on Wednesday.
The loss of the enemy is not known. The en-
emy captured four guns. 1t is supposed that
the troops were from Bragg army. Gen, Har-
dee himself was on the field, having come to
Florida on visit to his family and also to form
second marriage.
Our loss is variously estimated at from 500
to 1900 Seventy eight rebel prisoners were
brought by the Fulton.

Copperbeads Losing their Fangs.

The House vote upon the Conscription bill
is a sieuificsnt one. twill be remembered that
this bill is much more stringent than that of
1863. 1t does away with the classifcations and
reduces the causes for exemption. 1t enrols ev-
ery black man in the United States, free or slave
with the national militia and thereby makes him
q subject of the government, citizen, man.
THE United States uniform cOnfers upon him
the badge of manhood and he proves his title by
his rnusket. A United States Soldier is not,
cannot be a chattel. The instant he dons ar
NOR. he secures liberty, and from that time rises
from his debased position of slave to the exalted
one of a freeman. He is henceforth 10 stand up
on the same footing with the white soldier-a
free man fighting for the integrity Of his coun-
try. mn
eighty Copperhead votes in the House. The Of
fetal record shows but twenty-three votes re-
corded against it. Fifty-seven, therefore, dOdg-
ed-did not dare to vote against it. In our H.
ipois Copperhead delegation, only two had cour-
age enough to face the music-seven skulked
aWay. The two Aliens Robinson, Stuart,
Knsnp. Eden and Harris lodged, and only Nor
rison and Ross recorded their votes in the neg
alive. The deduction is apparent and eloquent
ly shows the change in public opinion. 1t
amounts virtually TO this: that three-fOurths of
the Copperheads in Congress, or, in other words
three-fourths of the Democratic party dare not
saw that the negro shall not cease to be chat
tel and become free man. Although this is a
dav of miraculous changes and conversions, We
had hardly looked for this. The tough logic OF
war is rapidly upsetting the fine spun theories
of the eopperheads, and we should not be sur
prised at any minute to hear Fernando Wood or
any other copperhead rise from his seat and ad-
yocate the vigorous prosecution OF the war, any
more than we were surprised, the other day, to
hear that Brooks had announced the death of
Slavery. They are dying confessions, however,
and before long they viii find out that the death
of Slavery has involved the death ofcopperhead-

FROM THE POTOMAC ARMY

NEx KoRk, Feb 29.-The Times says: "We
have information ofa formidable offensive move
ment by large force from the Army of the Po-
sonlac, which was initiated on SATURDAY. night
and may possibly be heard from to-day The
demonstration is very bold one, but it is in
brave hands and will be supported by asp0wer-
frl force"
TRIBUNE's SPECIAL. y
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-A portion of the Ar
my of the Potomac moved yesterday aud was in
successful advance to-day.
Washington, March 1.-Our forces are beyond
Culpepper, and the cavalry across the Rapidan.
News from the front this moFning indicates a
I battle this morning near Stanardsville between
Custar' cavalry and rebel infantry.
Fitzpatrick cavalry force has been heard from.
The report is favorable. Lees communications
no longer remain unbroken. Itwas reported to
day at GulpePper that Hampton's rebel legion
had been badly whipped by Fitzpatrick, with a
loss of several hundred prisoners, Hampton
himself among the number.
Gen. Fitzpatrick, with large force OF cavalry
and mounted infantry, started three days since
for Richmond, in the hope of capturing that ci-
ty by coup de main, or compel Lee to leave
his entrenchInents at Mine Run and march to
its defense. The rapid retreat of Longstreet on
Richmond is explained by this movement 1t
is rumored that Fitzpatrick will have the coop
Grafton of large force advancing up the PEN
iRsula. The latest reports placed Fitzpatrick 25
miles from Richmond. s
Washington March 2.-Gen. Custars cavalry
had sharp fight on Monday near CharlOtts-
vile, where he charged body of Stuart's cav
afro, driving them considerable distance. Our
forces burned the enemy's tents six caissons
and two barges, and returned to camp to-day
with only 40 men wounded slightly. They
captured and brought in about so prisoners, and
large number of negroes, and some 300 horses
besides destroying large quantity of ofvaluable
stores

Daring Rebel Plot to Escape From the State
Peniteutiary.

The following account by special dispatch to
the Cincinnati Gazette will be read with inter-
est:
A few days since Basil Duke who has been
at Camp Chase on parole for the past two or
three weeks, expressed desire to be taken back
to the Penitentiary. He urged this with SO
much persistency to lead Governor Brough
and Gen. Heintzelman to suspect that he had
some other object in view, than simply return
to his old quarters in the prison. Precautionary
measures were Immediately adopted, and the
Governor very soon had the satisfaction of know
ing that his plans were successful. They un-
masked deep laid scheme, on the part of the
rebel prisoners, to attempt an escape. The reb-
els plan was briefly to overpower the guard
when they were in the hall, as they have been
permitted TO be, and force their way through at
whatever cost They had armed themselves
with knives, which they had stolen from the ta-
bles from time to time, and sharpened for the
work These knives have stout blades, four or
five inches long, thick backs and heavy wood
handles and when ground down to sharp point
and edge as these were, make ugly and formid-
able weapons. They had provided themselves
with files one of which was ground down so as
to serve as screw driver, and one of the men
had nearly complicated wooden key, which
could be used, if necessary; but their plans were
for short and blood work.
Yesterday was the day set apart for the at
tempt, but to the surprise of the prisoners they
were not permitted their usual freedom. at
breakfast they were taken to and fromtheir cells
with double guard. In the afternoon they
were taken out singly and searched in the pres
ence of the Warden and Governor.
How they came in possession of their knives
is not disclosed, nor how Governor Brough dis
covered them.
Hereafter they are TO be watched closer than
ever.

Gen. PIP. RnckIand.

An anonymous correspondent of the Cleye-
land Leader, writing from Memphis, Tenn,
charges Gen. r. P. Buckland, with having de-
hvered up to DIR. Wheaton, rank secession
list and who had furnished a substitute TO the
rebel army, two fugitive slave children. The
writer says that the affair had created great ex-
citement there, and that a statement would be
sent to the authorities at Washington, and that
cit would be no marvel if Gen. Buckland should
soon retire to private life as reward for the do
ings of this present week.
We have reason to believe that this story Of
the Leaders correspondent, ifnot an entire fab
rication, is at least highly cOlored and one-sided
We know Gen. Buckland to be an ardent and
conscientious anti-slsvery man; that he heartily
apnroves of the Presidents Emancipation Pro-
clarnation. and that be is entirely opposed to
returning fugitive slaves to their masters, whe-
ther loyal or dislOyal. Adjutant A. P. john
son and Quartermaster H. w. Buckland both
of the I'D o. V. l., have arrived here from
Memphis, which place they left on the SSd Of
February, and who had been at Gen. Buck
lands Headquarters every day for some weeks
previous, state that they never heard word OF
the affair, and that they discredit the statement
The I'D Regiment also left there on the 2Sd,
where they had remained for three days, and we
have failed to fnda single man who had heard
anything of the matter We shall therefore
wait for further evidence before we place any
reliance in so improbable story.
