Irresisiibility.


NEW YORK, Feb 24.-Tbe Herald
Army OF the Potomac correspondent
writing on the 22d, says: Last night
two hundred men left for their homes
from one brigade. Hoke's Division, OF
Longstrects' corps. is the only large body
of troops which have been sent South
from Lees army. They estimate the
strength of the rebel army around Pc.
tersburg at 30.0y2.
The news of ShermanS successes III
South Carolina became generally known
throughout the rebel army to-day and
caused feeling Of universal depression
to prevail there The privates make no
secret of their intention to desert, and
Lee has placed heavy guard in his rear
to prevent them going back 10 their
homes They confirm the statement
made few nights since that the siege
guns have heen removed from Peters
burg and carried to some pOiut in the
rear of that city
Rebel officers openly express THEN
opinion that nothing can stop Sherman's
advance. and hence priyates desert by
scores Two hundred more deserters
have Just been brought in They belong
to Mahone's division, and have brought
their arms along. Major Brown, Provost
Marshal, Sd division, has of late been up
nearly the whole night receiving desert
ers and forwarding them TO the corps

New Military Programme.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 24.-The Bulle-
tins special Cincinnati dispatch says adj
vices from below indicate grand prepara-
tions for three fold movement te Ala
bama andlMissisippi-Thomas, from the
North, with strong force ol infantry
from Vicksburg via Jackson, aud cavalry
from Pensacola.
1t is apprehended that if Lee is com.
PEELED to relinquish Richmond, he will
fall back on Lynchburg and there make
his way through the mountains to East
Tennessee or Kentucky
Efforts are making to repair the Nir'
ginia and Tennessee railroad to Bristol
1t was rumored in Knoxville last week
that division of Lees army had al.
ready appeared in East Tennessee.
The expedition near Murray, from
knoxville, is to defeat the movement and
by again destroying the railroad, render
the transfer of Lees army west of the
mountains impossible.

Board of Trade Celebration.

DETROIT, Feb. 24-The Board of Trade
celebration held here last evening, was
great success. Nearly all the principal
cities, both in the North aud Canada,
were represented. Addresses We're deliv-
cred by Right Rev. Bishop McCloskey
and the representatives of delegations
present, including Chicago, Milwaukee,
Cleveland, Buffalo, Albany, Toronto and
London. Gen. Walbridge, in responding
for the New York Produce Exchange,
said he believed the time had come when
the British should revoke the recognition
of the rebels as belligerents in our exist
ing rebellion, for the Constitutional Gov
ernment of the United States had never
directly or indirectly eountenanced any
of the many attempts that have been
made since our existence, OH
the part of British colonies to resist the
present authority, although the storm of
rebellion had at various times ragged from
Canada to India. This sentiment was
vociferously applauded.

Political Prisoners.

Adispatch from Washington February
2lst SAYS: The Secretary of War to-day
transmitted to the Senate communica-
ton concerning the political prisoners
at various prisons in the North. He says
he directed the Judge Advocate, General
Holt, to commence proceedings. After
the passage OF the act of March, 1868, az
rests had been generally made by military
commanders and Provost Marshals with
out intervention 10y the President or Sec
retary Of War Cases of gucrillas clear.
ly treatablc by court martials were not
generally included in the trials. Com
missioners had previously been appoint
ed to examine into the cases Of State
political prisoners. These commissioners
Were to discharge minor offenders, not
prisoners ofwar, and report for orexchange
all prisoners of war, and for trial all who
had violated the laws of war.
The Secretary also stated that frequent
examinations of military prisons had
also been ordered from time to time
He seconds at length the facts of the
cases OF many arrests, and expresses a
belief that the rebellion is rapidly de
clining and causes for arrest will soon
cease to exist He further states that the
President has ordered the discharge of
all political or State prisoners who take
aparole not to give aid to the enemy, eX-
cepting spies and others whose release is

tion in which he declares the struggle

prayerfully entreats the people to rise,

New YORK, Feb. 2i.-The Herald's
Turks Island correspondent gives few
additional items of interest regarding
the Spanish dominion war. The decision
of the government of Spain to with
draw all its troops from St. Domingo
was not yet known in the Island. Wv
ing to the failure to receive reinforce
ments, the Spaniards in the town OF La
mana had been obliged to evacuate that
place and establish themselves on the
island of Levantado, in the bay. They
subjected the natives within their lues
to great hardship and oppression, but
still the spirit of the latter was unbro-
ken and they continued determined to
ultimately gain their independence

From the Richmond Dispatch Feb. .

Iuh tine Richmond DlSpdtCh teb. -.
We must light the negro with the ne
gro, whatever We could have done had
the enemy forborne to employ him. This
necessity is. of course, disagreeable, as
is proved by the evident reluctance with
which we have entered upon the discus
sion Therefore, whatever the differ
ences Of opinion hitherto Oh this subject,
all parties are now willing to leave the
solution to the sound, practical judg-
ment of General Lee He is known to
be earnestly III its favor. aud We want no
other Endorsement Ue hesitate not TO
sag that the time kdS come WheE negroes
sLoaid be employed Il, soldiers, aud should
he offered their freedom, fuI that pur-
pose, upon entering the service. We are
fully satisfied of their availability as
soldiers Of their courage aud efficiency
under a proper system OF discipline
such system as General Lee, at once
firm and humane, would inaugurate Ii
i, better 10 libeIate two hundred thou
sand negroes, aud TO put them into the
army, than to run the risk of losing all
We would rather sacrifice them all and
make emancipation universal, than haz-
ard the independence Of the Confederate
States If we fail we lose everything,
property of every kinj aud our own in
dependence. Let Congress give heed to
the coupsels Of General Lee In pursu-
ance of the universal public sentiment,
il has called him TO the chief command
Of the armies Of the Confederate States
But of what avail will be that action if
Congress does not clothe him with the
means which he deems necessary to sue
