The Taking Of Fort Pillow.

The Taking Of Fort Pillow.
The following is an extract from private
letter from gentleman in Cincinnati to a friend
in this city. l. gives rational and probably
a very correct account of the affair:
CNcINNAT1, April 1s.-The storming of Fort
Pillow was serious affair. ] conversed with
an ninteligent Irishman.who came up on the steam
Ct that brought many of our wounded men to Cal
ro. He tells me that our officers placed their
negro soldiers in front of the whites They i'm
mediatelY ran away, and the whites surrender
cd as soon as the Rebels entered the fort: calling
on the negroes TO CO the same, bnt they not un-
dars:anding matters, and being afraid of falling
into tie hands OF tie Rebels, ran away with
their arms and occasionally fred on the pars;l-
ers. But all who surrendered, whether white
or black, were protected as soon as the nsl4es Of
tie assault was over. = fe ~ negro women and
children were killed in the fort, and some of .he
negroes were pursued down to the edge OF the
river and killed, before the Rebel o.ieers could
control their n.cn. The demoralizatio ioa of the
white and terror Of the blact soldiers was ex-
cessiye Tie negroes do not know enough 70

The Next President,

Brownson, the Yankee Abolit;onist, in an ar
tcle of his ''Reyiew" under the above heading
gives his opinion of Honest Old Abe" as fol-
lows: ale tLincolnj has not the mental quail
ties, the education, the habits the manners, the
personal presence and dignity, the knowledge of
history, philosophy, literature, civilization, men
and things, or of the human heart itself, that
we demand in the Chief Magistrate of great
people OF his nomination, N 1860, we said
in the language of Daniel Webster: 1T is a
nomination eminently unfit to be made" There
is scarcely county in any of the States in the
Union, which could not furnish hundred men.
any one Of whom would be less unfit TO be Pres
ideni than he who was inaugurated March 4th,
1851. Honest Old Abe reminds one OF Mr.
Clay's address to a former Senator of Massa-
chuseits, Honest john Davis, Canny John
Davis" The nickname is always bestowed IN
irony, the hvery-stable-Gaan called one Of his
horses Sp7y, because he could not be made 10
60 more than a couple Of miles on hour"
tbs is ''tLe unkindest cut of al!," the most
terribly damning testimony of Lincoln's unfit
ness for the Presidency, coming as it does from
his professed friend-the rankest specimen of
A Abolitionism. He may well say ''Save me from
my friends LEO.

calm sad elevated, bat vigorous presentation
of the facts which explain our connection with
the pending war-as frank but manly deela-
ration Of our desire for peace and cur readiness
to conclude it-Rs a valiant, but unboastful de-
clArstion of our ability to maintain the war, if
the enemy shall prove unwilling for psace-snd

to die rather than be conquered, and Of our
humble reliance On The continued favor Of
Heaven--this manifesto Of Congress caunot be

respect for the opinions of mankind, and ae-
knOwledging responsibility to the sentiment
Of humanity ard justice, and an obligation to
pay due regard to the peace Of the world and
