Dor, on the 2lst day of April, 1865. The
schooner had one hundred and seventy bales
of cotton Oh beard. The Chaos is represent
ed by her late captain as being one Of the
staunchest built, and ftetest schooners

as she lies at post 28.

FREE TRADE WITH THE SOUTH.-The over
throw Of the rebellion is now q fixed fact,
and, as the Washington Chronicle says, the
dag cannot be distant when unrestricted
trade with the South viii begin. So soon
as the rebel armies shall have capitulated,
or been Overthrown, there will no longer
exist reason for restrictions upon trade
The system Of permits viii be abandoned
and every citizen viii be left free to 20 into
the South with his merchandise. The block
ade'win be raised, the railroads will be re-
paired, and thrift and enterprise viii take
the place of desolating war. The effect viii
be an immense increase in the demand for
the national currency. The population
which it will supply with medium Of ex-
change viii be augmented by several mil
lions, an active trade in cotton will spring
up, and the effect VIII be gradual decline
in gold, until resumption Of specie pay
ments will become practicable.
We deem il a matter of the utmost i'm
portance that the freedom of trade should
be established at the earliest day possible
which may be consistent with the idea of
Withholding supplies from the enemy. There
are interested parties who viii make great
outcry at these suggestions, because they
are armed with trade permits, by which
they expect to make fortunes out of the i'm
mediate pressing wants of the Southern
people. OF course, they viii see the strong
est military necessity for excluding COM
petition until the last farthing is extracted
from the Southern people Nothing but
necessity can justify the system of permits.
and, when that ceases, they should be aban-
doned. There can be no healthy trade with
the South while they are continued. They
serve to withhold from the misguided people
Of the South one of the best arguments in
favor Of a return to loyalty, and they at the
same tine obstruct the regular current of
trade, which is 10 essential to the prosperity
Of the loyal States.

SECRETARY SEwARD.-The New York Tri.

SECRETARY SEwARD.-Thc New York Tri
bune says Of Secretary Seward
The World, some days since, put forth the
untmely and maladroit suggestion that
Governor Stewards Withdrawal from the
Cabinet would facilitate and hasten the re-
turn OF the seeded States to the Union.
Apart from its irritating tendency in view of
the recent murderous attacks, we cannot be-
lieve this to be true. Governor Seward has
said and done nothing since he entered the
Cabinet to render himself specially obnox-
ious to the rebels, and his leaning toward
a generous policy Of forbearance and for
giveness, to any extent consistent with the
national integrity and honor is known in
all wellinformed circles. The revolted
South has certainly nothing to gain by Gov
ernor Stewards retirement from the Cabinet,
and it is now neither in position nor in the
MOOD to desire change whereby ii must
lose i'll reality in order 10 gam a petty sem
blance of triumph. We trust Governor Se-
ward, before retiring, may be able to inform
the Powers of Europe that the Union ia re-
stored and our country at peace.

THE NEW YORK HERALD HEARS FROM AN
AN OLD CORRESPONDENT.

The New York Herald OF the Sd instant,
thus notices the mistakes committed by an
eX-correspondent Of that paper:
MALLORY, TIE REBEL SECRETARY OF THE
NAvY.-This distinguished indi vidual whose
occupation, like Othello's. has been gone fo1
some time, surrendered himself to Captain
Gibson, United States Navy, at Pensacola,
on the goth of April. We publish % sketch
of his career in another column. Fifteen
or eighteen years ago this Mallory was the
shipping news correspondent of the Herald
| at Key West. We paid him-we forget how
much but 1t was more than he ever re-
ceived from the Southern Confederacy'
for his services in the Cabinet, for we paid
him in good gold and the COnfederacy gave
him worthless shinplasters
Mallory left off writing us letters for
awhile and then began again. Shortly after
the reOpening of his correspondence we
discovered that he had been elected United
States Senator from Florida This was
about 1851. Upon hearing this fact we
Informed him that, in our opinion, his posi-
tlOn as Senator was incompatible with his
position on the Herald as an intelligent
and independent correspondent, and that
unless he resigned his Senatorship, we
should be obliged to dismiss him and employ
somebody else at Key West. The truth is, we
have tried several congressman and Sena-
tors, and find that they make very poor
journalists. They are never capable enough
nor Independent enough for the require
ments Of this paper.
The protection of the Herald being
thus Withdrawn from him, Mallory
went to the bad. Congress gave him a
place on the Naval Committee in con-
sideration of the naval knowledge he
had acquired as our correspondent, and
when the rebellion broke out jeff Davis
made him Secretary of the rebel navy.
His office has been almost Il sinecure;
but the pay has not been any larger
than the work. Now that he has surren-
dered himself, he win probably haveto stand
his trial for treason. When he is convicted
we hope that President Johnson will let
him off as lightly as possible; for, after all,
he is a gOOd-natured, innocent sort of per
son, whose original sin was his ignorance of
the fact that it is better to be a Herald cor
respondent than a Senator. This was the
source of al his woes. However, we can
not take MIN back 10 our employ. No man
who has betrayed his country can ever be
connected with this journal.

CHARGE OF THE BLACK REGIsTTT AT
PORT HUDSON.
81 GEORGE Il. BOXER.

Dark as the clouds of even,
Ranked in the western heaven
Waiting the breath that lifts
All the dread mass, and drifts
Tempest and falling brand
Over ruined land
So still and orderly,
Arm to arm, knee to knee
Waiting the great event.
Stands the black regiment.
Down the long dusky line
Teeth gleam and eyeballs shine;
And the bright bayonet.
Bristling and firmly set.
Flashed with a purpose grand.
Long ere the sharp command
OF the fierce rolling drum
Told them their time had come,
Told them what work was sent
For the black regiment.
~ Now" the fiag-sergcant cried,
q Though death and hell betide,
Let the whole nation see
If we are fit to be
Free in this land; or bound
Down, like the whining hound
Bound with red stripes pain
In our old chains again 7"
Oh! what q shout there went
From the black regiment
"Charge!n Trump and drum awoke;
Onward the bondmen broke;
Bayonet and saber-stroke
Vainly opposed their rush,
Through the wild battles crush.
With but one thought aHush
Driving their lords like chat,
In the ms mouths they laugk
Or, at -.4e slippery brands,
Leaping with open hands,
Down they tear man and horse,
Down in their awful course;
Trampling with bloody heel
Over the crashing steel,
All their eyes forward bent,
Rushed the black regiment
" Freedom !" their battle-cry-
= Freedom or leave to die"
Ah! and they meant the word;
Not as with us 'tis heard,
Not as mere party shout;
They gave their spirits out;
Trusted the end to God,
And on the CORY sod
Rolled in triumphant blood;
Glad TO strike one free blow,
Whether for veal or woe;
Glad to breathe one free breath,
Though on the lips of death.
Praying i'll vain
That they might fall again,
So they could once more see
That burst to liberty!
This was what a. Freedom" lent
TO the black regiment
Hundreds on hundreds fell;
But they are resting well.
ScOuTges and shackles strong
Never shall do them wrong
Oh, TO the living few,
Soldiers, be just and true!
Hail them as comrades tried;
Fight with them side by side;
Never, in field or tent.
Scorn the black regiment.

The Erening Post. having contessedly ex-
hausted its breath in attacks on the private let
ter last July of Horace Greeley to President
Lincoln, lately given to the public through
Washington message to an English journal, we
have deemed it but generous to await its re-
covery before rejoining. Beside, every discern
ing reader must have seen that those attacks
are really aimed at the President, who, upon
the receipt of that letter. sent the writer 10
Niagara Falls on the business which 1t inaugu-
rated. and whom The Post il now seeking to
bully into breaking up the negotiations at
City Point without result. Every word OF The
Posts diatribe COZ dennis the Presidents visit
to Hampton Roads last January, and condemns
his Niagara manifesto and his Hampton Roads
instructions to Gov. Seward, and condemns
also their participation in the conferences now
presumptively proceeding. For if the Rebel
chiefs are TO bc treated inexorably as felons, 1t
is prcposterous to parley with them as was done
at Hampton Roads. Negotiation is incompatl-
bic with execution.
But-in default of home supply OF wind

Let me ask Mr. Greeley one question: ibid not your

sideratons.
Now the "goOd" Of succi1ct, magnani-
nous proffer of terms to the insurgents is to be
sought in adisintegration OF the strong conglom-
crate made up of these diverse classes, OF whom
part are welded to the Rebellion by ties which
do not bind the residue, and could be weaned
from it by inducements which IL, Others would
disregard. 1t is quite true that some OF 1.-THE
Rebels will fight as long as they cam but 1t
is equally true that others have already had
fighting enough. as our long liss Of deSerters
from their ranks conclusiyely attest. And there
are good many more where these came from;
and still more whom liberal proferS would dc
tach from their present adhesion to the Conied,
eracy. Hence we ardently trust that shouid
the President fail in negotiating with the Rebel
chiefs, he will try the experiment of makingover-
lures directly to the insurgent States and their
People. We foei great confidence that such
oyerturos would achieve decided, even though
primarily partial, success.
