The Impossibility of subiugation.

Three years Of war, and the logic of events,
as certainly demonstrate the impossibility of
subiugating the South as they do that a re union
of all the States cannot be compelled at the
point of the bayonet. That portion of the peo-
pie of Missouri and Kentucky who three years
ago were hostile to the war and the Government,
as administered by Mr.. Lincoln, are more thor
oughly disaffected now than then. Two years
ago the Federal armies oyerran the western sec
tons Kentucky and Tennessee, vet only a few
weeks since the partisan Forrest marched at his
pleasure through the sam region, and he was
strengthened by the accession Of thousands to
his ranks. The Federals have surrendered all
that they had wrested from the Confederates
in Florida. They overran both Arkansas and
Mississippi. and to-day they hold insecurity only
Little Rock in the one State and Vicksburg and
Natchez in the other. The most fertile portions
of Louisiana also became their prize, and so
firmly was the new order of things believed
to be established that The government and laws of
that sovereign State were swept away by an cleo
ton which was a mOckery and a farce. Having
created a hybrid government, the like of which
was never heard before, and will never be again,
VicerOy Banks proceeded on his Red river expe
dition, to steal negroes and cotton, ard to expel
the rebels from its borders but notwithstanding
these powerful incentives but curious combina
tons of patriotism and plumber, the expedition
was Improbable and disastrous. The Confed-
crates burnt their cotton, and Banks, instead OF
driving Dick Taylor OUT of the State. or captur
ing him. was caught himself. He is now en-
deavoring, with but little hope, to save the frag-
ment of his army. Practically. with the excep-
ton of New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana
is in the hands of the Confederates. The Fed
erals have lost likewise nearly all they acquired
two years since in North Carolina.
Richmond is now the objective point, to which
the armies under Lieut. Gen. Grant are c6nverg
ing. 1t may be successfully defended; or the
Confederates may abandon it when il is no longer
tenable. Other than the moral triumph which
thereby would be insured to the Federal arms,
the Confederates will really have lost nothing,
They will have abandoned that part of Virginia
which three years Of war has exhausted, and
made almost a waste and a desert. A new line
/ Of defense will be chosen south of the James
river, and in the interior of Virginia, and the
war will unfortunately go on.
Richmond has no Strategic Importance, and
without an army is captured with IL, a victory
would prove barren and ~fruitless. And these
acquisitions once made, they can no more be Sc
curely held than those which have been won and
lost in the West and South. The war has been
an abortion and failure heretofore. and will be
none the less so hereafter. Shall it terminate.
or is IL to- be recorded on the pages OF history

brethren in the South2-[N Y. News.

rhe Freedom of the Press.

Mr.. MADISON expressed the following senti-
ment in reference to the freedom of the press,
which, in view Of the recent outrages committed
by the Federal Administration in suppressing
two newspapers for a hoax perpetrated by its
own political friends, is eminenily worthy of
consideration. He said:
''Unconstitutiohal power over the press ought
more than any other to produce universal alarm
because it is leveled against that right of
freely examining public characters and
measures, and of free communication among the
people thereon, which has ever been Justly
deemed the only ~effectual guardian of every other
right"
Will there be any liberty to the people left if
the right of freely examining public characters
and measures is denied to the pressH There is
no more healthy restraint upon public officials
than the criticisms of the press. 1t is a power
felt and respected, and only knaves would desire
to restrict il.

The Personal Alteration Between
Voorhees, and Chandler.

The special Washington dispatches to the Gin
cinnati Enquirer of the Goth inst, give the fol-
lowing particulars in reference to the alteration
between Mr.. VOORHEES, and Senator CHANDLER:
A personal difficulty occurred last evening at
the dinner-table Of the National Hotel, between
Mr.. Voorhees, and Senator Chandler. Whilst
sitting at the table, Chandler. talking about
Democrats, made use Of abusive language, and
addressed his remarks 10 Voorhees,. Some words
passed between them, and Voorhees, struck Chan
dler in the face. They clenched, and we're
parted. Mr.. Hannegan, a friend of Voorhees,,
remarked that Chandler should not have talked
as he did, whereupon the latter struck Hannegan.

the Senator.

A Hit ON Butler.

The New York Evening Post, which has been
an admirer of BUTLER. and which is one of
the most radical of the abolition journals, now
says;
The readers of newspapers at this distance
from the seat of war are much puzzled to under
stand what is taking place on the James River
uuder General Butler. The extraordinary adj
illustrative ability which that gentleman dis
played in New Orleans, caused great expecta-
tons to be entertained Of his success in a military
command. 1t is doubtful whether these expect
atoms have been fulfilled. Private advices vary
strangely from the published accounts. IS
The meaning of this Is, that BUTLER has been
lying in his official dispatches. claiming successes
be has never gained.

THE SITUATION.
From the Richmond Examiner, May ls.l
The battle near Drury's bluff was imperfectly
appreciated in Richmond till yesterday. 1t was,
during the time il lasted, one of the most terrific
combats that has been known. Confederate
valor never had n more splendid illustration.
The nerve of Smith or Buffers large army was
concentrated on the hills behind large forti6cs-
tons, which they had strengthened with all the
appliances of unlimited labor and inexhaustiole
ingenuity. A world in rms would not have
moved Beluregard from such a place. The vast
army of Grant has been lately broken on some
hasty b~reastworks thrown up in "a night by Lees
troops with their b~ayonets and tin pans. But a
small force of brave Southern men moved on
those forts. not in a drunken rush, but with the
steady Spartan step of true discipline andi nhex-
idle resolution, and went through the blaze of
ten thousand guns straight to the mark. Al
though completely successful, they suffered a
considerable loss in killed and wounded. ITO
make an omelette, one must break some eggs"
IS the proverb of French armies. But we are
inclined to think that the number is exaggerated;
for there is this evident cause of exaggeration,
that the brigade which bore the bruut OF the bat
tie contained a great proportion of young men
from this city. Many houses here contain
wounded brothers and sons, and hence the pop
pular Imagination in Richmond increases the to-
tai loss beyond reality.
Yesterday a grand field day, under the eye of
Beauregard Felix was anticipated. But at
daybreak the whole show Of the enemy had van
ished. Butler had stolen off in the night to the
shelter of his gunboats. He is scarcely to be
blamed. The contest was unequal. Butler
against Beauregard. A buzzard to fight a grey
falcon!
Infantry are now landing in considerable mum
bers on the other side of the river. They are be-
lieved' with a good show of reason, 10 be But
ler's men. He is not safe until he puts the river
between himself and Beauregard, and he knows
il But as the truth will be known this morning,
we refrain from further superstition.
All is still quiet along the lines Of Spottsyl-
vania. Grant has gone clean away from the
scene of the late slaughter. leaving his dead and
dying on the field, with FIVE thousand stand of
arms, many c~aissons, gun-carriages, etc. The
guns we're conveyed away to make a vain trophy.
But il will not counteract the effect Of his re-
treat. Ii is impossible TO cave over the crown of
victory now. Lee remains on the field. maste
Of the field. 1t is possible that Grants army
will stop Il while IN Fredericksburg to plaster its
hurts. Grant has already received two reinforce
ments. one Of thirty and the other Of forty thou
sand. he has lost them, and must have more
before be can come up to the new lines whichr
await him where he will find them.
