The DEATH or SLAvKRY-The New
York News having assailed Mr.. Brooks
for saying in Congress that slavery was
dead, the Washington correspondent of
the New York Express (probably in this
case Mr. Brooks himself says:
.'If Mr.. Ben. Wood, in view of his per-
sonal attacks upon Mr.. Brooks in his
newspaper, will come back to Congress
and attend to business, he will find that
there are but ten Democratic members
of the House who do not in principle and
substance agree with what Mr. Brooks
said, viz that as FACT, be it right or
wrong, and as a FACT to be recognized
and accepted, as mnch as daylight OF
darkness. the slavery institution is dead

VINO Was IT ?--In passing certain
postoffice, less than a thousand miles
from here, the other day, little urchin
was yelling out at the top of his voice:
= Ere's your paper! ere's your paper!
All bout the battle!' -
An officer of the pompous character
happening to be near, bought copy, at
the same time scanning it over in search
of the battle. Not finding it he turned
to the boy in an angry tone:
Here, You little cussl can't see any
thing about the battle .
Youngster looked at him moment and
cody replied:

ever will till you return to your regiment.
Shoulder straps vamoosed mid shouts
of laughter from the bystanders.

and that upon sober second thought. they would
return beneath the folds Of the flag which was
the symbol Of our common glory. Beyond the
punishment of some of the more prominent and
fagitous criminals who melted the rebellion, no
| other thought entered the mind or the heart of
the loyal people of the country, than to welcome
back those who were regarded as erring breth-
rem, TO the protection of that government which
had blessed them so greatly, which they had en-
Joyed so long, and to the possession of their
ancient rights These expectations have been
disappointed, and the progress of the war. while
its objects have not been changed, has developed
the necessity of a change of nstrumentalities, by
which IT is to be prosecuted to successful con-
cluson
Measures which in the beginning would have
been rejected, and from which alarge proportion
OF the loyal people of the country would have
shrunk, have at length become inevitable The
national necessities have demanded that all the
national resources should be marshaled for the
CONNECT. The decimated ranks of the army de-
manded resh recruits; men were needed to work
on forti1catIons; laborers were required to cul-
tivate abandoned plantations; the traitor enemy
had THESE men; and just SO far as we could
strengthen ourselves by winning them to our
sac, IN that proportion we should weaken our
foe. Hence the emancipation proclamation of
the president, and the cognate legislation of
Congress Apeople involved in such war, who
should fail to avail themselves of such a resource

That in addition to these for us vast accessions
OF strength, and corresponding depletion of the
rebels, there comes the other fact that ace
whose inheritance, for centuries has been igno-
mlny and oppression, to whom Gods word has
been sealed book, hedged in by penal enact
ments, who are denied all means of enlighten-
ment, and all recompense for their toll; among
whom marital obligations are not permitted;
whose affections are treated with the same ten
derness as that accorded the lowing herds; for
whom there has been no refuge but in the grave,
where the servant is free from the MASTER

should be summoned to the rights of common

satisfaction and thanksgiving in the bosoms of

The Governors Message.

We lay before our readers this morning the
first message of Gov. CoSY, which we have
no doubt will receive that careful reading
to which its intrinsic merits entitle it. Gov.
Cony has had long experience in the affairs Of
the State, in connection with the Land Office
and the Treasury, and no man is better pre-.
pared than he to suggest measures for the
public good. His long and successful man
agement ofone Of the oldest and most reputa-
Bile Of our Banking institutions, had made him
perfectly familiar with questions of finance
and of financial economy, SO that his views
npon the financial condition, prospects and
wants of the times will have great weight
with the people. We commend the Message
to the readers careful and candid criticism,
feeling confident it will be regarded as one of
the abiest and best dgested or our state pa
pers. On single point We take exceptions !;
the proposition for practical revival of that
relic of barbarism-capital punishment-unber
our civil code. On this more at another time.

EVENING PAPERS.
From Chattanooga.


New YORK, Jan. Z.
The Worlds Chattanooga correspondence
OF the 10Th ult, states that the supply train of
Generals Ward and Sheridan, while en- route
Ior knoxville, was attacked by the rebel Gen.
Wheeler's cavalry, 1900 strong, early on the
morning of the 10Th and before assistance
could reach Col. Siebert, in command of the
advance, the small guard was driven back and
the train fell into the hands of the enemy
Before they could profit by their victory, how
ever, Col Long, in command Of the expedition,
sent 100 men across the river, when counter
charge was made, and notwithstanding the
Overwhelming numbers against them, they OBJ
tanned possession OF the wagons again and
drove the enemy some distance away.
Unable to proceed further without more
support Col. Siebert halted his men In line of
battle, the rebels wheeling at the same time as
If for another charge, but remained idle. The
suspense continued but for moment, when
the whole brigade of Col. Long, numbering
say twelve hundred men, arrived at the scene
OF action, and after wheeling into line made a
sabre charge upon the enemy, which they
were unable to withstand even for a moment.
but instantly broke in confusion, each man APP
parently endeavoring to take care of himself
The main body fed toward Dalton, but up
on every road and along footpaths were squads
flying pell nell toward place OF safety. In
the pursuit 123 of the rebels fell into our hands
and no less than47 we're either killed or wound
ed Our loss is variously reported: some say
but one, and others half a dozen were wound
ed and none killed. One man was missing,
perhaps taken prisoner. The rebels did not
even injure wagon, mule or a set of har-
nesses. Their triumph was but momentary,
so that they could not have done mischief If
they would.
The pursuit continued for Ave miles on the
Dalton road, where 1t was abandoned, but
scouts are out getting up stragglers, who are
constantly arriving at Charleston, and i be-
lieve the number of prisoners will yet be
swelled to two hundred.

McCloskey pronounced the funeral discourse.
One hundred Catholic clcrgymen were present

covered to be on fire. The house was occu-
