JUDGE RANNEY.

Judge RANNEY is The only Democratic
Judge in the Supreme Court Of the uni
ted States. There is talk of his resign.
ing, which if done. will make the whole
Court black as the ace of spades. It is
to be hoped that the Judge viii hold out
and register a Democratic dissenting opin-
ion to some of the niger decisions OF
that August tribunal, and show future
generations that the iniquity of the Abo-
lition party is unequalod in the history
of the civilized world. a niger Cour.
is worse than a pestilenoe or plague.

LIBERALITY EXHIBITED.

LINCOLN, in his Message, ~solicits the
aid and authority. of Congress in furnish
ing a gunboat for Liberia, at a moderate
expense to the Government of the Uni
ted States. He thinks that such an arti-
Gle in Liberian hands would be more eff.
fective than whole squadron, if in Amer
lean hands. What a reflection on the
military and marine abilities of our citi-
zens, coming as it does from the Com
mander-in- Chief of all our armies 1t
is well TO be liberal, but charity should
commence at home. There are thousands
of poor women and children in our coun-
try suffering for want of clothing and
food, while their supporters are playing
high private for n mere ~pittance, or have
died or been killed in this Abolition, mig
ger war. Our national debt is about two
thousand millions of dollars already, and
the people are taxed on every thing they
eat, wear, look at or possess, to support a
lousy, thieying Administration yet it is
suggested By high authority that we do
nate a ganboat to Niger Liberia. If
the people had a say in the donating,
they could materially improve the dona-
ton by sending old ABE along as a deck
hand OF said gunboat. Being a boatman
by profession, he would certainly be eff
fective in the Liberian service. Hayti is
not considered further than to acknowl-
edge that We are on the most agreeable
terms with her, which will give s~atisfac-
ton to all the niger nations on earth
How are you, gupboat?

full position Of thsrebellion, By closing with
a characteristic dissertation on the in
humanity Of arming the negroes II
is source Of bitter grief to the reoel
slave lords, that their negroes are armed.
It's mock lamentations are 50 ridiculous
that we quote several sentences from the
long wall
But whatever value may be attached to
this arming Of blacks as an operation Of
war, no easuistry can redeem it from the
imputstion Of inhumsnity; when it ex-
tends to Southern slaves no sophistry can
prove il admissible into civilized and hon
orable warfare. 1t is cruel for the poor
slave, torn from his home, his field and his
family, leaving them behind him, victims
Of sure starvation; he cannot endure the
fatigue, nor bear the burdens Of war
which holds out to him no prospect OF
hope. 1t is inhUmsn, for it must necesss-
rily bring with it a warfare full Of fear
ful horrors.
The rebels may we'll be alarmed st th'
thought that the negro may seek re
venge long delayed. Officers of negr'
troops tell us that when their men ar
alone they vow fearful vengeance sgains
their former cruel OppressOrs. As the ide
Of liberty dswns upon their minds an
they become fully conscious Of what the,
have endured, they will prove "nO elemen
Of weakness to the rebels. They may we
shudder at what swaits them at the hand
of their former slaves.

Honry CLAW in Kew OrIenn..


In one Of the most beautiful streets Of
New Orleans stands colossal statue Of
Clay. The monument has been q sort Of
rsllying point Of secessionists, even since
the Federal occupation, to compare notes
and talk Of rebel successes and Union dis
asters. From the New Orleans Era we
learn that Mayor Hoyt, our former fellow
citizen in St. Louis, has given orders to
have inscribed upon the pedestal Of the
statue the following words from one Of the
speeches of Clay;
f1f could be instrumental in ersdics-
ting this deepest stain, slavery, from the
character Of our country, would not eX-
change the prOui satisfaction which 1
should enjoy for the honor Of all Ethe
triumphs ever decreed to the most success
full conqueror."
The monument might be chiselled sll
over with like passages from Clay, express
sing not only his disapprovsl Of slavery,
but his sbhorrenoe Of the policy Of making
the interests Of the institution the war cry
for the destruction Of the Union. Fore
seeing thats contingency like the present
might occur, he most emPhstioslly declared
where, in such sn event, his influence
would be given, and thathe cruld never be
found fighting under any secession BAN

The Rebel war Report.

So much of the report of the rebel Sec
retary Of War as that officer thinks it ad
visable to publish, has been supplied to s
journal in this city, and appeared in its
columns on Friday. What the omitted
portions may be We cannot say; but the
report in its present shape is not a docu-
ment Of very great interest. After q brief
reference to the campaign Of 1S63-con-
cerning which Mr. Seldom seems to have
thought the less said the better-he con-
siders the condition and strength of the
rebel army, and the reforms in its orgsni-
zstiOn which are necessary, touches on the
question Of exchange Of prisoners, gives q
history Of the supply during the year Of
arms, munitions, qusrtermsster and COM
misssry's stores, to the army, treats at
length upon railways and the trsnsporta-
ton necessities of the rebellion, describes
the ventures Of this Department in run
ming the blockade, passes to the Trans
Mississippi Department gives paragraph
to the Indians, and concludes his essay
with the customary remarks on the ss-
credpess and sure success Of the rebellion.

The Tribune's correspondent with the
army in Louisiana, furnishes thefollOwing
description Of the battlefield after the
fight;
On Sunday morning at dsybresG l took
occasion to visit the scene Of Saturday
bloody conflict, and more CHASTITY spec.
taele have not witnessed. Over the nelc
and upon the Shreveport road were scat
tered desd horses, broken muskets, and
cartridge boxes stained with blood, while
all around, as far SIS the eye could reach,
were mingled the inanimste forms Of pa
triot and traitor side by side. Here were
a great many rebels badly wounded, una.
BILE to move, dying for want Of water and
not drop within two miles, and no one TO
get it for them
Their eroans and piteous appeals for
Hyater, water, water" were hesrtrending,
and sent shudder to the most stony heart.
Such horrid expressions as dWelt upon
each desthlike countensnee can neither be
described or imagined Here was brave
| loyal sergeant, his trusty rife grasped In
his hand, while each eyeball glsred from
| its glazed socket with fierce excitement.
The dead were everywhere, and in every
possible position which could render the
scene more appalling.
saw one sweet face, thst Of young
patriot, and upon his icy features there
fingered heavenly smile, speaking Of
calmness and resignation. The youth was
probably not more than 19, With full blue
eye beaming even in death with meekuess.
The morning wind lifted his auburn locks
from of his marble face, exposing to view
noble forehead, which was bsthed with
the heavy dew Of Saturday night. 1 dis
mounted for moment hoping to find some
trace of the hero's name, but the chivalry
had stripped his body Of every article OF
value. The fatal ball had pierced his
heart.
Not twenty feet from this dresry picture
lay PROSTATE the mutiisted body Of an old
man, apparently forty five years Of age.
His cap lay by the side Of his head in 8
pool of blood, while his long, flowing gray
beard was dyed with his blood. A she'll
had featfully lacersted his right leg, while
his belt vas pierced in two places, both
balls entering the abdominal region. In

bells amerged so boldly, was deep DITCH

The New York Tribune Of the 9th inst.
says:
We have the highest authority for the
following statement in connection with
the story thst Mrs. NJ Todd White (s sis
ter of Mrs EncOln) was permitted by the
President TO carry contrsbsnd goods
south: Mrs. White went south with only
the ordinary pass which the President
gives to those persons whom he permits to
go. The Presidents pass did not permit
Mrs. White to take with her anything but
the ordinary baggage, nor did she attempt
10 take anything more. The Presidents
pass did not exempt her baggage from the
usual inspection and her baggage did IN
dergo the usual inspection. General But
Ter found no oontrsband goods or letters
in her baggage. She did not insult or de-
fy General Butler; nor WAS there any
thing in her words or actions to lead him
to suspect that che was either rebel spy
or emissary, or that she Was violating any
Of the rules under which persons are sent
through the lines. As the Copperhesd pa
pers throughout the country are quoting
the Tribune as authority in this matter,
and using that authority 10 sustain ssser-
tions never made through our columns, we
hope they will give this statement speedy
and wide publication.
