have virtually subjugsted the State Of
Mississippi. We have destroyed the enc
my's lines Of transportation and commu-
nicstion in this State. We have destroyed
all public buildings, railroad stations, and
everything likely to be Of any use to the
rebs. You meyer saw such lot Of nigs in

The Montgomery Mail Is ont for "hght-
ing the Devil with fire." and calls upon
the South to invsde the North, and carry
psnic and dismAy everywhere. 1t an
nounces the new programme in the fol-
lowing language:
EARLY in the coming spring, with our
Trans Mississippi army, We must invade
Missouri. and with. General Lees army we
mustinvade Ohio, and with General Johns
toms army move through Tennessee and
Kentucky into Indisna and Illinois; with
out this, If We remain at home and attempt
to defend thousand points against 3
thousand attacks from an enemy command
ing our sesbosrd and nsvigsble rivers,
with ample means for transferring their
armies where they choose, and with every
part Of our territory ssssilsble to cavalry
raids, our agriculture win be ruined, and
our manufactures will be destroyed.
All this could be done, it says, by 8
Cesar, Hannibal, Washington or Ma
poleon."
The Mail proceeds Oshow how Frederick
the Great withstood Austria, France, Rus
sis, sazony and Sweden combined. NnpO-
leon fought sIl Europe for fifteen years BY
invading the country Of his enemies; Cor
te1 conquered Mexico with less than 1000
men. Therefore, says the Mails
| Let us fuvsde them with our whole force.
Missouri Kentucky, Maryland, and the
q Copperhesds" viii swell our ranks. We
want food, raiment and gold. Let as go
snd take what we need. The army will
receive the order, "forwsrd to the North, I"
with q shout. There let them stay until
our ruthless invsders cry far peace. Bet
ter die there with srms in our hands, than
starve here or expire in chains. The best
protection We can give those we leave be-
hind will be to get the helpless Of the North
as hostages in our power.
This invasion will accomplish Eve pur-
poses, says the Nail.
/. It will free the whole South from the
presence Of the Federal army. The militia,
garrisons and our troops not in condi-
ton to march, can protect our homes
against the smAl force they may send tc
hsrrass us.
2. It will supply Us with all the horses,
equipments, clothing and articles Of every
kind needed by our soldiers.
8. The retslistory inAiotion Of the hor-
rors Of war viii mske the North desire
peace, and make foreign nations see that
we have the power to annoy our enemy,
and dispose them to recognize us.
T. It will double our army instead Of de-
pleting it.
8. It will end the war in our favor In
one year.

A New CampaIgn m Lou,sIann.

Intelligence may soon be expected Of
very active movements in Western Louisi-
ana. Admiral Porter's feet Of gunboats,
and about thirty transports, with troops on
bosrd, we're last reported at the mouth of
Red river. Generel Banks Was to take the
field on the 10th instant, and it is supposed
that operations would thel commence. It
is presumed that the joint naval and land
force would ascend the Red river. and
probably will make Alexsndris, which is
near the centre Of Western Louisiana. its
base Of operations. The combined force IL
larger than that which went over that psrt
Of the State last summer, and which had
TO be diverted from its original purpose for
the sake Of operating against Port Hud-
son. The Mississippi being now clear,
Bsnks can devote himself TO the interior,
and with joint movement Of our forces
in Arkansas, he may suscesd in driving all
the rebel troops into Texas, and pursuing
them thither, with the aid Of Franklin in
the Teche country, and Dana on the Texas
coaet, be may arrive at decisive results,
and destroy or disperse sll the rebel forces
west Of the Mississippi.

The Man that Harnessed the Lightning.
S. T. B. Morse, operating through the
Hsociety for the Diffusion Of Political
Knowledge" has issued to the world, an
argument "on the ethical position Of
slavery in the social system" In reply
to the question: "Whst is the social sys-
tenn which God has ordained" answers 1t
thus:
Il consists Of four distinct, clearly de-
fined, but co operative relations, thus laid
down in the New Testament:
Ffst-Civil Government, in which the
relation Of Ruler and Ruled is ordained.
SseoRd.-The Matrimonial, in which the
relation Of Husband and Wife is ordained.
9hFd-The Parental, in which the re-
lstion of Parent and Child is ordained.
FoEyth.-The SerVile, in which the re-
lation of Master and Slave is ordained.
Now, here we have drawn out by the pen
of inspiration, q perfect Social System
the Divine Plan adapted to man as fallen
being, in his disciplinary state, that il to
say, to man as he is.
Mr.. Morse had better migrate to Rich.
mOnd where his views on the normal rela-
lion between capital and labor, will bG
more highly appreciated. They have roOm
down there for all such theorists on the
question Of slsVery.

The ResrorntIan of ArEnn.ns

Arkansas has given a larger vote for
the Union than even Louisiana, and is al
so ahead Of her in the adoption Of Free
State Constitution. Though the latest re
duced Confederate State, it is yet the
first Of any to reconstitute itself on
Free State basis. It has been admirably
prompt both in deciding and executing.
Undoubtedly the chief cause Of this su-
perior promptitude over Louisiana and
Tennessee is the fact that the slave popu-
lstion Of the State has been at no time
more than one-third ss large. On account
Of the comparative newness Of the coun-
try, the large Shareholders were compare
lively very few, and the great majority Of
the people had no slaves st all Il was
only by the most Hillainous ohicsnery that
the Secession Convention was elected
which professed to take Arkansas out Of
the Union. Slavery did not supply tbs
s5he 6f the others. It is not ct all strange
that when brought back by force, shs SO
much mora readily accepts the result, and
sdspts her social system to the new order
Of things.
There has been some apprehension that
disagreement which has existed to some
extent between the Military Commander,
General Steele, and some Of the leading
citizens, respecting the best plan Of re-
storstion, would delay, if not absolutely
frustrste, the movement. But the large
ness Of the vote given, and the decisive
ness Of the majority, evince that these dis
sensions we're brought happily to an end
and tSe path now seems te be perfectly
clear to the early and complete fulfllment
Of the will Of the people just expressed.
The Legislature will meet next month to
elect Senators to Congress; the election
has already taken place for Represens-
tives to the House. The whole machinery
Of the State Government will soon be in
operation throughout sl parts Of the State
which have been reclaimed from rebel CON
troll, now amounting to nesriy four .fifths |
The rebel authorities are net blind to the |
fact that Arkansas is about to pass forev- |
er from their grasp, and have again put |
General Price in the supreme command Of |
the department, in order to make one last |
desperate effort for its recovery. We have |
no belief, however, that the demonstration |
will be pushed to any great length. 1t is
too pslpsbly impraoticsble for even rebel |
to entertain seriously for any
long period. Price, who has 80 often |
failed before in his operations upon that |
region, will find himself after such de-
zSiopment Of Union feeling, baflsd worse
han ever.-Rev York Times.
