PHILADELPHIA, Feb. GA special dis
patch to the Evening Telegraph dated Wash
ingtoR, Feb. 6, says the Richmond Whig has
the following:
CHARLESTON, Feb. "A dispatch from
BraxtUn Bridge, dated 7:3O last night, says
the enemy advanced to-day across the Whip
py Swamp, driving our cavalry on our left six
miles from this place They are supposed to
be in heavy force. There is also column of
cavalry on the Augusta road, moving rapidly
from some unknown point.
Wbippy Swamp is about thirty miles north
west of PocotalgO, and about the same dis
tance southwest of BranchviIe
Before reaching the latter place, Sherman's
troops will have to cross several tributaries of
the Combahee, as well as the Edisto.
LATER,-The enemy has possession of Nc
Brides Bridge, and skirmisbing is going on in
the front of Braxton Bridge. The enemy is
certainly moving on Branchville.
A dispatch from Adams Run saws the ene

day about noon, and drove in our pickets.-
They have fred several buildings on the plan
talions, and are retiring This morning three
steamers are of Whites Point, and landing
is threatened. Adams Run is about 20 miles
from Charleston.
n. Y, Feb. 6.-The worlds Port Royal
special says:
The position already gained by Sherman's
army, opens to their advance a greater por-
ton of the rebel territory Dorthward. The
ultimate points arrived at will disappoint spec

lecture that Sherman intends merely to cap
ture Charleston and the leading cities, and re.
turn, are mistaken. The troops have been so
appropriated that the enemy must give battle,
Or retreat into the extreme South, through
that portion of Georgia where our armies
have marched.

EXCHANGE OF PRIseNERs AT CAMP CHASE
Col. w. P. Richardson, Commandant at
Camp Chase, received orders day before yes
terday to make out an exchange list of 5000
prisoners, in detachments of 500 each; but
not to include any who did not desire to be
exchanged. He called out detachment and
read the order to the men, which was received
with cheers. Those who did not wish to be
exchanged were required to step five PAGES to
the 'front.' Six responded and were sent back
to the prison.
The same evening the Colonel received notes
innumerable from the prisoners, begging to be
retained. Yesterday morning they were call
ed out secoRd time, and another vote taken,
which the Colonel assured them would be
final. Those desiring not TO be exchanged,
but to be retained within our lines, were
again ordered TO advance FIVE PAGES, where
upon 26O stepped forward, most Of whom
were prisoners from HOod's army.-[State

Governor BRAMLETT, of Kentucky, is d
modest and liberal minded man. He has sent
q message to the Legislature of that State re-
commendiug the ratification OF the Constitu-
tional amendment, on condition that Congress
appropriates thirty-four millions of dollars to
remunerate them for the loss Of their slaves
This proposition for cool impudence is with
out parallel in the history of events grow
ing out Of the rebellion. It has been admitted
time and again by Bramlett and his followers
that slavery in Kentucky is virtually dead, as
one of the necessary results Of the war-that
the shadow alone remains, while the substance
IL gone-and that the institution has wholly
lost its value in the State and become an un-
desirable incumbrance In Kentucky, as in
other slave States, four-fifths of the slaves are
owned by avowed enemies of the Government,
many of them active participants in the re-
bellion and the conduct of the State in the
early stages of the contest its action being
controlled by those same slave holders) was
far from being such as to make the people OF
the loyal States commiserate with them and
make good their loss now that as a necessary
and inevitable result of their reasonable ac-
tions they find their darling institution in the
last throes Of dissolution. Compensated eman-
eipation was once offered them and Indignant
Iy rejected. 1t is now too late to retrace their
steps. Having voluntarily assumed the risks
Of aiding in the Inauguration of a rebellion
in the interest of slavery, they must abide the
results of the issue-should be thankful that
the penalty is no greater-and may derive re-
eOmpense from the reflection that their loss is
the infinite gain Of the loyal and patriotic nom
Shareholders of the State, who comprise the

LINCOLN ARD. DAVIS c0NTRAsTED.

When Abraham Lincoln took the chair oi
the Presidency of the United States, be prom
ised in his fat-boat lingo to "run the machine
as be found it." Whether he has strictly
kept his promise, those may doubt who choose
to consider the subject. 1t is enough for us
to know, that whether "running his machine
in the pathway of his predecessors, or not, be
has run it with stern, infexible purpose, a
bold steady hand, vigilant, active eye, a
sleepless energy, a fanatic spirit, and an eye
single to his end, conquest emancipation. =
He has called around him in counsel, the
ablest and most earnest men of his country
Where he has lacked individual ability, learn
ing, experience or craftsmanship, be has sought
it, and has found it in the able men about him.
whose assistance he uDhesitatingly accept,
whose powers he applies to the advancement
of the cause be has undertaken. In the Cab
met and iu the field he has consistently and
fearlessly pressed on the search for men who
could advance his cause, and has as unhesitat-
ingly cut off all those who clogged it with
weakness, timidity, imbecility or failure
Force, energy, brains, earnestness, he has col.
lected around him in every department.
Abroad and at home, he has exercised alike
the same ceaseless energy and circumspeetion
We turn our eyes to Richmond, and the
contrast is appalling, sickening to the heart.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. ga large FIRE COM
menced this morning In the coal oil works on
Ninth and Federal streets. About so dwell
ings have been consumed, occupying two
squares on both side Of Ninth street, besides
few on Federal and Wharton streets. Fif-
teen lives are reported lost. The street were,
at the time, flooded with snow, water and oil.
The oil ran along the streets in full blaze, set
ting fire to the lower portions Of dwellings,
and preventing the escape of the inmates
Four children are said to have persisted in one
house.
LATER.
PHIEADELPH1A, Feb. 8.-The fire here this
morning originated in Blackburn & Cos.
sheds for storing refined oil 10 bond. 1000
barrels have been destroyed. 1t was insured
mostly in New York. 40 buildings, mostly
three stories, are burned. The oil that esea-
ped from the burning barrels passed over into
Ninth street With lake of fire, and ignitiug
the houses both sides Of Ninth street for two
squares, and carrying devastation into Wash
ingtOn, Ellsworth and Federal streets, both
above and below Ninth street.
Fully five squares Of houses, bad they been
placed in a row, were on fire at once.
Inc scene was one 10 make the stouLeSC
heart quail. Men, women and children were
literally roasted alive in the streets. Capt.
Josh. b. Hale, who occupied a dwelling in
the vicininty, with his wife, FIVE daughters and
two sons, met with a gad misfortune. They
all succeeded in getting into the street from
the house, just as they left their beds, but,
mournful to relate, found themselves in riv-
er of fire. The family became scattered.
Mrs. Hale had her youngest child, beau
tiful little girl, in her arms, and was eudeav-
oring to save her. She fell, when hrself, her
little child, and another daughter about Is
year of age, were burned to death in the
street, and their bodies we're so horribly mu-
tilated that they can only be identified by the
peculiar circumstances surrounding them
Capt. Hale and two sons escaped, but three
daughters are missing. Six bodies in all
have thus far been recovered.
Three of them have been recognized as be-
longing to the Hale family. Another of these
bodies is supposed to be that Of james Glib
son. There is also the body of boy, not yet
recognized, and that of fireman. It is
thought that several other persons have per-
ished, and that there are bodies still under the
ruins.

The latest adviees from Sherman come
through the rebel papers. On Sunday last be
was said to be within niue miles of Branch
vile, the most important railroad point in
South Carolina, and it is admitted be will be
able to take it. Important news frem that
region may soon be looked for.
A movement on the part Of q portion of
Grants army commenced last Sunday, the
details of which, as far as received, will be
found in another column. The latest advices
received from that point represent the news
as favorable. The design of the movement
seems to be to reach the lines of rebel COM
munication between their capital and the
south.
Latest advices from New Orleans warrant
the belief that formidable demonstration
against Mobile is anticipated, of which it is
said Gen. Terry will have command
The late peace movement, as was anticipa-
ted, has proved failure. The President and
Secretary of State met the rebel commission
ers at Fortress Monroe. The rebels would
listen to no terms that did not contemplate the
recognition of their independence, and as that
was out Of the question of course the confer
ence amounted to nothing.

REruRMIns REAsnM.

The Louisville Journal was one of the bitter
est opponents to the reelection Of President
Lincoln. Here are some good words from q
recent number of that paper
"We are now convinced that the bitter
partisan elimination of Mr.. Lincoln's admin
istration throughout this struggle was always
extravagant and has brought no good to the
country. For the sake of united action, we
would counsel against enbittered partisan Op-
position, which must weaken our friends and
our enemies. Mr.. Lincoln will preside over
the re-established Union, if the nation will
braYely sustain this conflict. Party names
are nothing in an hour like this. Let the
flag, as a rallying point, be planted upon the
ruins Of party let the arms Of the Govern
ment be upheld by united, determined peo-
pie, and the nation ere long will achieve an
enduring triumph over rebellion"

SLAVERY IN CUBA.-It is strictly true that
by abOlising slavery in the United States we
strike fatal blow at the institution every
where. Already slave-ridden Cuba is prePaF-
ing to throw of the chains of human bond
age, and petition to the Queen of Spain for
the gradual abolistion of slavery has been
signed by more than hundred planters and
presented to the Governor General to be for
warded to the Queen. The Governor Gener-
al remarked that he would wait the result Of
the Presidential election in the United States
before sending the petition, as the election
would in his judgment decide the future Of
slavery in the United States. The obvious
implication is that Cuba must follow the
course OF the United States in this matter.

Of ADVERTISING, it was resolved also to ad-
vance. The attendance was large and respec

The rebel Congress is discussing the policy
of an export duty on cotton and tobacco
This seems like q waste of time inasmuch as
the Rebel Government has not single open
port cut of which cotton and tobacco can be
exported. Porter and Terry put an embar-
go on the last place out of which they could
run their cargoes. The discussion is probably
to keep up the dignity Of the COnfederacy as
sovereign power.
EASTERN TRooPs AND FT. FIsHER.-It ap-
pears that the bulk of the force which assault
ted and captured Ft Fisher was composed of
Eastern troops. Those who have been 10 the
habit of disparaging the fighting qualities Of
the soldiers from that region will have to back
off from that ground. Better fighting than
theirs on that occasion has never been done
since was war invented.
J. A. Packard, of Galena, ILL.,, raised one
hundred and sixty-fve bales of cotton near
Vicksburg, Miss, last year. 1t has been giun-
ed, baled and sent to New York. 1t is worth
$500, and the profit is $4,000.
1t is stated that the falling off in the num-
Der of hogs packed this season, as compared
with last, in the entire West, will be 100000
head, and that there is also large deficiency
in the number shipped East.
In the rebel Senate on the I'd, Mr.. Brown,
of Mississippi, presented joint resolution OF

ing on the occasion of the contest between the
Alabama and the Kearsarge. The resolution
was passed.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 7.-Henry S. Foote, of
the rebel Congress, reached here this morning,
from Washington, in charge OF Major F. o.
Newhall, and shortly after left for the North.
Il is supposed on his way to Fort Warren.

Competent judges at Washington estimate
that at least $25,000,O00 of internal revenue
was lost to the Government during the last

CoRN SUGAR.-In copying the article yes.
terday, relating to corn Sugar, from the Chi
csgo Tribune, it should have been stated by
US that the article proposed to be manufactur-
ed at Chicago, is not the article discovered
and patented by DR.. GoessliDg, referred to in
our article few weeks ago. The Chicago ar
ticle is admitted to be Starch Sugar, and to
be greatly inferior to Cane Sugar. in point OF
sweetness, &C., while that manufactured by
DR.. Goessling, is claimed to possess all the
qualities of the best Cane Sugar and Syrup,
and is pronounced by the most experinced Su-
gar manufacturers in the country, to be fully
equal to the best offered in the market

A remarkable accident occurred on the
Pennsylvania Central Railroad near Johnstown
on Saturday night. As the train which left
Pittsburg at 4: 35 in the afternoon, was pass
ing curve oVerhung by rock, the sleeping
car, which was the third from the rear of the
train, raa off the track, broke the coupling
which fastened it to the car ahead and swung
around until it lay directly across the track,
with one end up against the overhanging rock
The rock fell down, crushing the sleeping car
and the one next behind it, iDjuring, in most
cases slightly, about fifteen of the inmates but
killing none. The front cars ran nearly mile
before they could be stopped, but were then
backed to the scene of disaster, and the pass
engers rescued from the wreck. The last car
was entirely uniDjured.

The failure Of the late peace movement
win have good effect in satisfying all of the
fact that no peace is possible from negotia-
tion that does not carry with it the triumph
Of the rebellion By a dissolution Of the Union
and the establishment Of second and inde--
pendent government out of portions of it.
To proposition of this kind there is not
loyal man in the country would for moment
listen-and hence to succeed in maintaining
the integrity Of the Union there remains no
other alternative than to fight it out. 1t is
understood that this view of the matter is ta-
ken by all parties in Congress, and that the
necessary means will soon be adopted for pros
ecuting the war on scale and with vigor
that must result in a speedy and decisive set
tlement of the controversy in the only way
possible. The resolution introduced in the
House by Fernando Wood, in favor Of main
tanning the integrity of the Union at all haz-
ards aud at any cost, has been adopted by an
overwhelming majority; and that prominent
leader Of the late peace party avowed in his
place his determination to offer all the aid in
his power to the Administration in its efforts
to conquer by the force of arms what he is
now satisfied cannot be secured in any other
way.

The Congressional amendment abolishing
slavery was unanimously ratified by both
branches of the West Virginia Legislature on
Friday. On the 1st the same Legislature
passed an act declaring, first, that all persons
held to labor or service in the State are free;
second, that there shall hereafter be neither
slavery nor involuntary servitude in the State,
except in the punishment Of crime whereof the
party shall have been duly convicted. This
act is supplementary to that formerly PASSED,
providing that all slave children born after
July 1864, are free.
