AMERICAN VESSELS FIRED UPON BY A
PORTUGUESE FORT.

The United States frigates Niagara and Sacra !
mento have for some time been engaged in chasing
the rebel ram Stonewall. The latter has at length
succ eeded in escaping from the port OF Ferrol. ON
March 9th her arrival in Lisbon, the capital oil
Portugal, is announced. The Portuguese authori-
ties ordered her so leave the harbOr. The Nigga
"a and Sacramento arrived Immediately after, and
were ordered by the Portuguese Government NOT
TO sail before tho expiration of tWenty-fodr hOurs
after the departure OF the StOnewsll. The com
manders Of the frigates charged by the Portu \
iguese with having disrt garded this order, and
while attempting to sail before the proper time,
were fred upon by the Portuguese fort. The com
amanders Of our steamers are, Oh the Other hand,
ne ported to have bad no intention to sail, but
merely to have shifted their anchorage. Diplo-
matte notes, il is further reported, have alreadS
been exchanged in regard u this matter. TIE
rebel organ Of London, The IRder, volunteers the
further announcement that the great Powers would
protect Portugal if the United States should at
tempt to impose upon her.
! 1t would be useless to oSer any comment upon
this Attain until the facts have been estabshe d =
If the statements of the commanders of our steam
aers are correct, our Government will know how to
yindicate the honor of the national flag. At all
events, the relations of the foreign Governments
to Rebel vessels are now on the point of undergo
ling revision, which will make the renewal of such
events imposSble.-NeO York Tribune.
4 WASHINGTON, April Is 1t is believ ed that no
official information has yet been receive in regard
TO the firing by the Lisbon forts the United States
vessels Niagara and Sacramento. This event may
be regarde a fresh illustration of the compli-
tcation almost inevitable in OF the CONT
of the policy OF fore ign Powers in regard to ouI
tships of war, against which the proclamation OF
yesterday so emphatcally protests. There is rea-
son to anticipate that the effect of that poclama-
tion will be to our vessels hereafter to the
enjoyment of customary rights and hospitalites il
tforeigu ports, and in the meantime this occurrence
d nsl- til
8 part of our Government the facts when ascer
*tained shall be found to demand.

Assassination of President
LincoluI

The heaviest blow which has ever fallen upon the
4 people of the South has descended Abraham
Lincoln, the President of the United States, has
4 been assassinatedl The decease Of the Chief
Magistrate Of the nation at any period, is event
{ (which profoundly affects the public mind, but the
time manner, and circumstances of President Lin
I coins death render it the most momentous, the
most appalling, the most deporable calamity which
has befallen the people of the United States.
The thoughtless and the vicious may affect to
derive satisfaction from the sudden and tragic
close Of the Presidents career but every reflect.
ing person will deplore the awful event. Just as
everything was happily conspiring to a restoration
of tranquility, under the bengnant and magnani-
nous policy of Mr.. Lincoln, comes this terrible
bow. God grant that it may not rekindle excite
ment or infame passion again.
That state OF war, almost fratricidal, should
give rise to bitter feelings and bloody deeds in the
field was to be expected, but that the assassn's
knife and bullet should follow the great and best
loved of the nation in their daily walks and reach
them when surrounded by their friends, is an afro
city which will shock and appals every honorable
man and woman in the land.
The secresy with which the assassin or assass ins
pursued their victim indicates that there were butt
few accomplices in this inhuman crime. The abb
'horrence with which it is regarded on all sides
WILL Il is hoped, deter insane and malignant mem
from the emulation of the infamy which attaches
to this internal deed.
We cannot pursue the subject further. Wei
contemplate too deeply and painfully the terrible
aspects of this calamity to comment upon i'll
further.
TIE acts, as we hav, oi;illly as certained them,
are subjoned The President visited Ford's Thea
ire Friday night, and about thirty minutes past ten
o'clock, whilst leaving the Theatre, was wounded
lin the head by pistol shot ared by John Wilkes
Booth. He died at twenty-five minutes past seven
yesterday morning.
Mr.. Seward was also wounded in his own house.
He is in fair way to recover.
The people OF Petersburg had this affct-
ing news yesterday before it was made
public here. Judge W. t. JOynes, Roger A.
Pryor, John Lyon, and other prominent citizens,
united in a call Cor public meeting to express, II
words could do So their grief for so sad an event
their adherence Of the deed, and their sympathy
for the bereavsd. We know that the citizens of
Richmond will take similar action.

IF any arguments were now needed to CONVINCED
the people Of the South that the effort to destroy
the Union was an act of folly rather than of wis
DOM such arguments would be found In the ute
overthrow of the false philosophy on which tb,
disuulon leaders based their movement. The insti-
tuition Of slavery is only one of the many public
interests which were involved In the questions at
Issue; but as 1t Is one Of paramount Importance
we will briefly show how little the dlsupionists IN
ierstood its true position, and how unfounaed havS
been their hopes concerning It.
The great and patriotic men of the South, In the
days of Washington and Jefferson, saw the radica
syls of slavery, and sought to avert them by insu
gurating system CT gradual emancipation, anc
from that day forward the wsest and most Thought
fol of our Southern cltzens-men holding broae
auds and working them with their own slaves
have felt and known that the sentiment OF the civil
ICED world was against the institution and that tho
only hope Of retaining 1t was by retaining the pre-
lection which the Federal system afforded 1t in H.
States Uhsre IL ezisted
But favorite dream Of the disuni mist was thu
establishment of an independent slaveholding Ne
public. The apostles of the Secession creed taught
that dissolution of the Union would confirm and
permanently establish slavery in the South tina
the institution, instead of being weakened and de
stroyed, would be INDICATED In tie eyes oil tn
world as Divine appointment of labor, intends'
TO endure as long as man inhabited the earth.
The immediate object with which the Northern
peops entered upcn che war was not the destructio
eof slavery Their design was to preserve the Union
10 uph I'D the just authority Of the Nation to de
end the right of people to protect them'eiVe
gfrom Iuiu and 6isoreapEaticn by the scts 'f thos
~ho had no substantial cause Of complaint agAlnt
heir GoTernment.

RICHMOND WING, MONDAY MORNING, APRIL II, 1855

In the early months Of the war, Southern lead
ers claimed that slavery was an element of military
strength to the South that the slsves ud wo X
he farms raise corn, wheat and bacon, EhIls IL al
mite men fought IN the armies Fer scme tin,
this deusion continued. But In proportion as til
advance Of the Uaited States armies occurred. htI
inevitable result, foreseen by the wisest Of SJubl
,rn statesmen, followed. The solution cf the q1e;
do1 OF slavery las been purely the result OF H.,
laws of war. When the South invited var s. Z,
abandoned slavery. To suppose that irva1i-g q
iss would fail to weaken thoir adveTaares by CO.
log to their aid such Of the male population Of The
invaded country as would join them, was delu
ion which Only madness could have cte.issed.
The Southern slave owners hava discovered by
he revelations of the war that however faithful ap
personally attached to them their negroes may have
been. they desire freedom. They must now admit
hat slavery has received Its death blow. The las
md most fa'al wound was inflicted by the SOutl
osrgelf When slaves were invited to volunteer fJi
military service, the tacit admission was made Il a.
hey were persons privileged to enter into the mill
AIRY elements Of the struggle BETWEEN the Eortl
md tho South, and that Therefore, tie mllitar
measures and policy which freed them were legt
nate results Of the state Of war.
The charge which has thus been Effected Is 0
nomentous import. To change the status of tn
hole laboring class OF a country as Wids as I'd
southern States lisa work which canno' go on With !
,ut extensive embarrassment and dlsocstlon. T.
substitute for tn, involuntary serV tude fCrrerly
prevailing the voluntary servItude In which COZ
tracts are made, wages are alovel, time il compu
ed and all the relations Of ths free labor systrn
are recognized, will require time and patience But
the work has been commenced, and tie wise amonf
our people will soon be satisfied that their condition
will not be the worse for the change. The emar.
pated negroes will also learn thatif they will ea|
hsy must work, and that industry and good tenn
per are their best policy.

SMILE COMBAT.

The correspondent Of the New York Times says
One of the most singular and lamentable events
Of the war, carrying one back to the days of the
chivalric knights, when each foenan challenged his
adversary to and-to-hand conflict, with the attend.
ant hosts spectators, occurred on Friday last,
the left Of the line, during q sKirmish between a
portion of the Twenty fourth corps and brigade of
Rebel cavalry. Gen. Reed Chief of Staff to Gen.
Ord, being up at the front, suddenly recognized an
|old acquaintance in the person of Gen. ST. Clair
|Deering commanding brigade of South Carolins
cavalry. Whether they had been in former times
|frienes or foes cannot say but they met now ~
foes, and, in full view Of the opposing forces pre-.
sent, they held tournament Of death, fighting with
pistols. until, almost simultaneously, Reed fell
dead, and Deering mortaly wounded.
