tration was the concession Of her con-
stitutional rights as declared by the
Supreme Court in the bred Scott de-
oision, the abolitionists being inter-
prefers of that decision. They gave il
the same Interpretation as did the party
which supported Breckenridge. They
were the allies of tho Breckenridge
party in the election. The South
would have been content with less than
her constitutional rights as thus de-
clared, for she only asked that the de-
cision (thus interpreted) should be
made applicable to part of our terri
tory. She offered to accept this as a
settlement of the slavery question, and
remain in the Union. Douglas, Crit
tenden, the democratic party, and con-
sentative men of all parties, wanted
to make such settlement but aboli-
tionists at that time thought il was adj
visable to have ga little blood letting"
If the Supreme Court is the rightful
and lawful interpreter Of the constitu-
ton, the Tribune, by its own construc-
ton of the decision of the court, is
convicted of willful, deliberate false
hood, in saying that the South was
not content with its constitutional
rights. Its charges of "quackery and
impudent assumption" are nailed to
itself, and carry with them even a
more shameful conviction Chicago

MOBILE.

The Mobile Tribune of the 9th con-
tains particulars of the engagement
in Mobile Bay on the 9Th inst. After
a good deal of declamatory language
the writer concludes as follows:
"This is tho sad but truthful histo-
ry Of the invasion Of Mobile Bay
Asto its consequences / am not able
to Judge but they very slightly alter
the state of things previously existing.
If Mobile was secure against water
attack, it was not on account of Nor
gan, Gaines and Powell, but on ac-
count of shallow waters of the upper
bay. That Same obstacle stillrcmains.
And if she was open to land attack
by way of Pascagoula and Bayou la
Petrie she cannot now be worse off,
because tho enemy can land at Dog
River. That river is, therefore, as be-
fore, the real outer line of our defens-
cs, and on its banks must be fought
tho battle for the possession of Mo-
bile.
''True, we lose command Of the bay,
but this is a matter of private incon-
venience, and not of military impor-
tance, as we drew no supplies from the
bay shores except frewood and lum-
Der, which may as easily be procured
up the river; and by efiectually clos
ing up every possible avenue into the
Apalacllee, Tenan and Spanish rivers
we may laugh at their vairkciIorts.
"The real loss is the destruction or
capture of our feet, and above all, in
the capture of Admiral Buchanan,
Capt. Johnson and their heroic crews.
That feet, although small as il was,

Where docs he Stand?

In 1862 at the Republican Con-
gressional Convention for tho Sixth
District Hon. John +. briggs was
nominated for Representative to Con-
gress-Mr. ID. w. G. Gage, for the
Committee on Resolutions reported
the following, which was unanimous
ly and enthusiastically adopted.
Resolred, Our Constitution, our
Union and our government, they can
and shall be maintained. To than
end we pledge our lives, our fortunes
and our sacred honor"
Dues Mr.. briggs still stand upon
this platform or has he abannoned it
He supports Mr.. Lincoln and supports
all his acts of usurpation. He can
not support both, he must abandon
his platform or abandon Mr. Lincoln.
Mr.. Wa 10 and Mr.. Winter Davis and
hosts more of his own party say that
Mr.. Lincoln does not support nor pre-
serve the Constitution, that he is
guilty of gross acts of usurpation.
Mr.. Lincoln says, and Mr.. briggs
sustains him in it, that tho Union
shall not be maintained unless slavery
is abandoned. This condition is not
il the above platform. Perhaps Mr..
briggs regarded his obligations to
this platform as Hudibras regarded
an oath.

THE CAPTURE OF GEN. SToNEMAN.--
The Macon (Georgfa) Confederate gives
the following particulars Of what il
terms Gan unlucky Yankee affair."" the
defeat and capture of General Stone
man.
The General had sustained a heavy
loss in the engagement, and as soon
as he saw the preparations making to
charge him again, he dispatched a
white flag, proposing an unconditional
surrender Of his whole force. The
flag was received by Col. Crews, who
then confronted him with one hun
dred and eighty two men.
GAS soon as Stoneman saw the
one hundred and eighty two men to
whom he had surrendered, he SAT
down and took a regular cry. He
handed his sword to>Col Crews, and
his staff directly Invested themselves
Of their arms.
six hundred Yankees at once
threw down their arms, but the re-
mainder seeing by this time the cow
ardice Of their General in giving uI
to such small force, broke through
the woods pell-mell, helter-skelter,
making off to the left. General liver
son ordered pursuit, and it is firmly
believed that nearly the whole party
will be be taken with but few excep-
tons.
1--WE captured full one thousand
horses and many stand of arms, two
brass throo inch rifle cannon and cas-.
sions, several colors and guidons.-
Stoneman had only two cannon. He
gives as reason that no was out Of
ammunition, but that is only. hi:
story. The Alabama Brigade was
sent i'll pursuit of the enemy"
The Macon papers of the fourth
state that the captured Stoneman
raiders continued to arrive there as
prisoners. A large number of officers
captured at Newman had also ar.
rived.

The Seven-Thirty Government Loai

The Secretary of the Treasury has made an
appeal 20 the people for loan Of two hundred
millions of dollars. This appeal although re-
sponded 10 promptly in some sections has been re-
ceived with different feeling in some others
This. il seems TO us is grave mistake, The gov
eminent Is in debt, and IL must have money to
pay the soldiers in the field, the sailors ON the
ocean, and to meet the current daily expenses in
Cured. Congress has made the appropriations.
Ii will never do for the people who own the
government TO say that individually they will
not pay the debts contracted by their representa-
tves assembled ut Washington. This is repudi-
alton, and regulation is disgrace the world over.
II tho people think that the money which has
been appropriated has been squandered reck-
lessly. If they believe the war might have been
avoided with the exercise Of ordidary wisdom, or
conducted with more energy and more success,
they have the remedy in their own hands, and
that remedy is to change their representatives In
Congress and select n new President The rem
ely is not repudsation or TO even falter in the
prompt payment of the debt already contracted.
Every individual in the State has personal in
interest in the discharge Of every obligation con-
tracied, and to sustain the credit of tho govern
ment above even q suspicion The payment Of
our debts is a question quite outside Of the ordi-
nary political discussions.
We are living under n system Of written laws.
We are nation Of freemen, each one of which
has direct interest in the government, and If it
fails the failure will more or less reflect upon the
wisdom and patriotism of each and every one Of
the community. We may differ widely us to the
best policy to pursue to accomplish certain end
which all ardently desire, but when that policy
has been decided upon. and ALLEGATIONS contract
ed, II Is the imperative duty of every one to sus-
tain tho government, SO as 10 enable II to meet
promptly all of its liabilities, The ruin of the
government financially, is the prostration Of
every individual in it. If the government bonds
will net sell, what are State and city, and coun-
try or individual obligations worth , What Sc
rurity is of any value if we have no government
to reinforce obligations.
| II these views correct there is no one thing
more important at this time than TO sustain the
credit of the government. This can be done with
case if the people will but invest small part Of
their surplus in government securities.
