BYowHLow on THE "REBELs. ."-Parson
ErowDIow thus pours out the vials of bis
wrath -. the Knoxville "WhiS' Of the 6th
inst:
The Southern leaders still have the devil in
them, ard presuning upon the leniency of the
President, they are loosing sight Of their real
positions. Louisiana is now proposing to
elect Ex-Governor Allen, now a refugee trai-
tor in Mexico to gubernatorial honors, on the
ground that he is cndeared to the people be-
cause of his services rendered in the cause of
the rebellion. In North Carolina, Georgia
and Alabama, unpardoned rebels are running
for Congress, boasting that they are still un-
pardoned, and do not intend to change. We
are sorry to see this state of things, but it is
Just what we predicted from the start. The
war was closed out two years too soon. The
President will adopt new and different
course towards these rebel States. He will,
in word, withdraw all amnesty, and intro
duce confscation, martial law and military
rule, and finally, all that extreme men have
contended for The mild and benignant poll
cy of the President has been abuSe'l--is not
at all appreciated by rebel leaders but it is
insultingly demanded as their right! These
Southern rebels have their fate in their own
keeping, and they are nursing their wrath to
keep it warm. We feel confident that the
President will not yield any more ground to
them, if, indeed, he does not withdraw from
them what he has conceded.

The Intelligent visitor from New Zealand
who might be sojourning in New York would
suppose from the perusal Of the daily prints
thaG we Americans were not only not satisfied
with the frightful war from which we have
Just emerged, but that we were spelling for
still more tight. Led off by the noisest and
most blatant of the tribe, the Herald, the me-
tropolitan press with singular unanimity seem
bent upon dragging the United States into a
war with France about Mexico, and with
England about the Fenlans and the alabama
s!Eair. A new cause for bloodshed has arisen
in the action ofthe British authorities towards
the officers and crew of the Shenandoah.
There is no mistaking the public feeling
North, as it is reused and foStered by the
New Nork papers. The sentiment against
England verges upon absolute hatred. A war
with that Power or with France, or with both,
would excite the utmost enthusiasm and call
half a million of men to arms in thirty days.
It will require all the good sense and GOODNESS
of the President and Secretary SEWARD to
keep US out of difficulties From conserva-
tive stand point it seems madness, Of course,
to precipitate this country into war, while
the public debt hangs like millstone around
cur necks, and while one-half of the Union
lies exhausted and impoverished by the ef-
fects of the recent conRict.-N. 7. C0r., Of

A HAPPY RE-UN1oN.-A very happy reunion
of the children and inmates of the Orphan House
of Charleston with their numerous friends and
benefactors, took place recently, on the occasion
of re-opening of the Chapel of the Institution for
public worship. The crowded auditory present
very clearly evinced not only the popularity Of
the Pastor who was expected to address them,
but also the unfagging interest which the people
of Charleston feel in the noble institution to
which we arc now alludng. In his very hap
piest and impressive manner the very able and
venerable JOHN BAcHMAN, D. D., conducted the
re-opening and welcoming services. From DR.,
BAcnMAN's address, which was somewhat historic
and exceedingly interesting, we learned that his
first sermon in Charleston was preached in the
Orphan House about ffty-one years ago, and that
he also delivered in the institution its two first
anniversary oratons, now nearly half century
since. OF their ministers then officiating at the
institution in their turn, he alone of them all is
now alive, and of the Board of Commissioners
then acting not one Of them now survive.

New ORLEANS, Nov. 26.-The Matamoras
Ranc6ero, of the 10th, says that the firing on
the steamer Antonio from the North bank, on
Tuesday last, was one of the most dastardly
outrages ever perpetrated on the frontier.
The Antonio having on board detachment
Of French marines and two field pieces, was
finding its way up the river, under a heavy
FIRE from the combined forces of the Liberals,
when she grounded seven miles below the
city, and while engaged with the enemy on
the Mexican frontier, a furious fire at long
range was opened on her from the neutral
bank, which was effective, wounding two
marines, The Liberals on the North bank
were dressed in Federal uniform. The French
commander refused to return the fire from
Texas bank. The same paper says it appears
to be the settled purpose of some men to
bring on a war between the United States
and Mexico, and says that the outlaws on the
American side of the river are in force, and
are enliSting recruits. The Antonio, when
fred upon from the Texas shore, was near
where Cortinas had been camped.

WASHINGTON, November %.


THE SOUTHERN ME&BEEs 70 Be REJECTED.-
Those who have thought that Mr.. ColhX
spoke in consstcnce with. the views of the
President will be satisfied from the telegram
hence to the New York Tines, to the effect
that upon an interview between these person
sess on Saturday last, they differed, though 1t
S rot likely in an ill.tempered way.
A few additional members Of Congress ar
rived here to-day, including Senator, Trum-
bull of Illinois No delay from tactlous
movement in the organization Of the House Is
anticipated. Instead Of extraordinary excl
ting and turbulent times which have been
uredicted, the present indications are in the
opDosae direction 1t is considered that
s6Sre IS nothing in the political aspect which
cannot be reconciled, both to the satisfaction
Of the President and of Congress. The pros
Beet, therefore, is that the House will be Or
ssnixed on Monday, and the Presidents mes
sage and the accompanying reports OF the
Departments be communicated to Congress
On Tuesday.
Mr. Colfax for Speaker and Mr.. Mcpherson
for Clerk, seem to have the entire field to
themselves thus far for eelection.
. No one here, so far as can be ascertalned,
believes that any of the members elect from
the insurrectionary States, with the excep-
ton, perhaps, CT those from Tennessee and
Arkansas, will be permitted to take part in
the organization Of the House.

Bill ARP AsPIREs TO BE A SENAToR.-OuI
citizens, says the Rome Courier, will be graf
lied to know that the author of the popular
papers over the signature of "Bill Arp" is a
candidate for the State Senate, from this Dis.
trict. Every body, including the ladies, Of
course, will vote for ''Bill," and we hope he
will be elected by acclamatiou.
The Intelligencer is of opinion that if the
inimitable ''Blll' be elected, he will attract
more attention at Milledgeyille than ''any
other man"
For ourselves, we wish Mr.. Arp, so-e0lled,
all possible success, and from his late article
on the Estate of the Country" we are led to
believe that he will do much toward recon-
strucEti7a the State.
In answer to many and pressing inquiries in
regard to Bill Arp, the Petersburg Index states
that he is Mr.. Charles H. Smith, Of Rome, Geor
gia. He is prominent man in his section, and
Is candidate for the Georgia Gate Senate, with
every prospect Of election.

We see many evidences in the Northern
press that our late enemies no longer cherish
in their hearts bitterness towards US, but,
on the contrary, evince commendable dispo-
sition to cultivate amicable relationships. II
becomes US to meet that spirit cordially and
consign the dead past to oblivion. We clip
from leader, in the New York Times, this
paragraph:
There are great many Southerners in
this city trying to make arrangements for a
resumption of business. AS general thing,
their conduct is manly, frank and sensible
calculated to win the confidence and respect
Of every generous and justcommunity. Nine
in every ten of them have been utterly ruined
by the rebellion. Most of them cast their
fortunes into the struggle for cause which
they believed to be right, but which they see
and acknowledge to have been fatally and
finally defeated. They have lost position, in
fiuence, property, children, friends-every'
thing which makes life desirable. Under such
circumstances, weak men sink down into ab'
ject despair, or drag out the rest Of their lives
in the safe obscurity of foreign lands. The
defeated Southerners meet their calamity in a
more manly style. They show in their de-
feat, as they did in their struggle-courage,
desperate tenacity Of purpose, and that high
spirited readiness to meet all the responsible
ties of their conduct, which never fails tc
command the respect OF the world.

The South Carolina Railroad, which all our
citizens are anxiously concerned about, is ma
king, We understand, steady progress towards
completion. It is thought that the Augusta
branch will be completed to Midway, twelve
miles beyond Branchvllle, about the first of
the coming month !; and if no unusual obsta-
Gle present itself, the entire line will Ee open
to Augusta on the first of February next, or
perhaps sooner. The Savannah Railroad Com
pany have contracted for the rebuilding of
their bridges across the Edisto, Ashepoo and
Congaree Bivers, and this work will be pushed
forward rapidly to completion. With energy,
it may be expected that the entire railroad
system of the State, which, few months
since, was in a most dilapidated condition,
will be in working Charleston Ne1Cs.

FROM CUBA-The principle item of Cuba
news, of interest, brought by the steamship

on the island of another cargo Of slaves from
Africa-an event of kind formerly very COM

of negroes composing the cargo is variously
estimated all the way from 100 to 300. The
landing was effected on the Northwestern

informs the Nescs that he has made an arrange
ment at the North for the cultivation of 1000
acres of cotton land by fifty Swedish laborers.
He says that this plan is being largely adopted
in Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi and Arkan,
sas. He also says that Northern capitalists are
readily advancing capital for the purpose of plant
ing on shares; that societies are formed that fur
nish labor for commission, and that the effect
has already been to advance lands that four
months ago could have been easily bought for
$50, to $50 an acre.
