The Very Document that They
Wanted.

The Richmond Enquirer, in alluding t.
the charge Of the New York Tribune that
LINcoLN's Amnesty Proclamation was not
published 10 the South, says: a.
"As to the suppression of president Lin,
coins Proclamation Of Amnesty it is ut
terly false. The Enquirer published it in
fali-so did every daily papar. 1t was the
very kind of proclamation we wanted Mr.:
Lincoln to make. 1t was the full and CON-
plete confirmation of all We had charged
upon Lincoln; it demonstrated, by comics
sion, that we were correct when we told the
people of the Confederate States that the
subjugation of their liberties was to be eff
fected by their degradation to level With
their slaves. 1t SHOCKED the sensibilitles

the outrage Of mothers, wives and sisters,

the only terms of amnesty offered,
ITO have suppressed this proclamation
would have been an act of stupendous folly.
The Tribune understands political ca pital 10
party slang. THIS proclamation supplied
chat capital; it could not be denied it

palpable; its objects too plain to need ex,

The Chattanooga Gazette states, that,
between the point of Lookout Mountain
and Bridgeport, down the Valley of the
Tennessee, lies twenty five miles of dead
mules, in one continuous string-the head
of the first carcass lying on the quarter
deck" of the one beyond him, and so on,
throughout the entire distance. The Ca

Unconditional Union is now the cry q
one tribe of Disunionists. They are not lof
the old Union with its conditions and safe
guards. They want an unconditional Union;
one in which the Federal Government can
do as it pleases, unrestralnsd by these re-
served rights of States or individuals. These
are unconditional Unionists. They are now
and .lways have been The enemies Of the
Union as our, fathers made it, and as all
loyal men are bound to support it. There
is one other condition which these uncon,
diuonal Unionists are partial to. In TACT,
it is indispensable to; their support. 1t
must be a Union they can rule. A Union
ruled by Copperheads they abhor. II they
thought upon . suppression of the rebellion
the Democrats should get power, these UNI
conditionals would deprscate above al
things the suppression of the rebellion.

THE Chicago Commercial (Abo-, Of
Saturday last, had the following local
item:
"a number Of Ingenious Greeks were
assembled near the corner Of Wabash aven
Ne and Harrison street, yesterday, where
they were fixing gas pipe, when one OF
their number, having espied cOlored man
sweeping the snow off the pavement near by
exclaimed, BE jahurs; if the bloody nagurs
keep cummin up from the South, III have
to 60 back To ould Ireland 1t would be u
good thing if he and.all his tribe were
to 60"
The Tribune would, no doubt, like to have
all foreign born citizens displaced by the
black g; and, if he could have his own way,
would change all straight hair to the woolly
kinks.

ander the impression Of supposing that
they can receive his bounty in gross, with
out deduction of his arrears or pay account,
it should be stated that the Second Comp
troller has decided in q late case, that the
law OF July, 1861, and July, '62, on the
subjects of bounty, &C., and pay, &c, are
construed as were former laws on the same
subject, and that in all cases the arrears due
the government on account O. pay, DC,
must be deducted from the bounty.

The Prospect.

I
There i q buoysncy after all in the Con-
'fedsrste atmosphere. The air grows Light
s. and clearer around US, and men begin To-
feel with full assurance that our Confederi
,acy is going right through. None 80 iffa-
sticnal now as to speak Of any probable
.scompromise "-that sacrameptal word IN
the old Federal politics, which We could wish
TO have expunged forever from the Confed-
crate vocabulary. We can oil see and ap.'
preciats what ia TO- be our dreary,fate IN
one event, our noble recompense in the 9th
er: and that between these two there is
nothing. This intimate conviction, and the
open public pledge given BY Congress, that
all Of us shall submit to equal sacrifices in
the sustainment of the common cause, make
any nation of white men, Of the right breed
and blood, truly invincible. State is now
surer of State, and each man surer of every
other man than they were three months
ago. Therefore, in spite OF maladministra
ton, or perverseness, or imbecility, there is
a healthier confidence that the people will
bring all right in the end. We are to have
a splendid army in the field the coming
spring, and, one way or another will be fed.
That is enough. With that nothing can
fatally hurt us. We can bear even Genera
al Bragg, for he is not to command any
army in action, and he will scarcely order
Lee to fall back, or Johnston's troops to
evactuate Charleston, or Polk or Maury to
raise the white flag on the forts of Mobile.
One can even concede that, in his present
dignity, be may be very useful than other
wise; and, at any rate, this Confederate
people is going to carry this war through,
and the whole government along with it.
On the march for independence and victory,
inspired by such fiery passion aud strong
hope, we have force to make light of every
weight; no incubus or Old Man Of the Sea
shall weigh feather. By Heavens bless
ing, we shall carry them all on our shout
ders; will pull through the very quartermas-
tiers, and even, if that be possible, the
commissaries themselves.
