The campaign which has already been
opened by General Sherman, and in which the
armies operating before Petersburg aud Viii
mington will soon take part, will be the lg1nd-
iag-up campaign Of the rebellion. Ii Is no
secret that great bodies Of troops have been
coming up from the West to take part in it ;
and whether they reinforce for the moment the
army Of Meade, or of Terry, or of Sherman,
it is all the same. The campaign is unit ;
lis combinations are made under the supreme
direction of Lieut.. Gen. Grant and the enc
my 10 be fought and defeated and destroyed
is the army OF Gen. Lee near Richmond
Grants combinations have always been OF
a very great kind, both in the West and i'll
the East and we believe that his final cam
paigu will be the greatest OF the war.
The Richmond papers Of Tuesday last show
that the rebels at Richmond are in terror least
a movement on the James accompany the 9th

by the Richmond Dispatch, expected an at
tack on the north side of the james on Sun
day last and it was thought that for that day
only the mud saved him. Attacks were also
expected elsewhere on the lines, which the
rebels fear are only temporarily postponed.
With armies OF such magnitude as are now
operating against the last rebel army, under
command OF snch as Geas. Grant aud Sherman,

NEWS FROM REBEL SOURCES.

| The Richmond Examiner of the Oath says:
A large series OF blundars, commencing
some sooner, others later, have now produced
a very general, indeed, we might say, an un-
usual belief, among all intelligent observers,
that cur Government, as it is now conducted,
it not equal to the great occasion. That feel
| ing OF confidence so carefully nurtured has
been hopelessly broken; that great element OF
success is gone from US unless in some way
we reform the Administration of oHr Govern
meui
The Examiner says the expedition of the
iron-cIads down the river had been designed to
| break the enemy's pOntoon bridges and thus
destroy his communications and 10 take ad-
vantage of the ascertained fact that he had
Withdrawn most Of his naval force from the
river, probably to Wilmington, leaving but
one iron-clad and some wooden vessels in the
channel above Varina. There was also rea-
son to suppose that the recent freshet had
washed out a portion OF bis line of obstruc-
tions, and thus opened the way to the attack
on his pOntoons. We may say here that the
expedition is understood TO have originated
and to have been planned by General Lee
in view OF the circumstances referred to.
A Charleston correspondent of The Rich
mOnd Dispatch, says that if Sherman succeeds
in getting possession of Branchville, the fall of
Charleston will soon follow.
\ telegram from Wilmington reports the
capture OF the steamer Tallahassee. at New
Inlet, on the 18th.
a large raiding party is moving up Chowan
river, in the direction of Weldon.
President Davis has issued proclamation,
appointing Friday, the 10th day OF March
next, as a day of public fasting, humiliation,
prayer and thanksgiving, and for invoking the
favor and guidance of Almighty God; and
he earnestly invites all soldiers and citizens to
observe the same in a spirit of reverence, pen
itence and prayer.
The Richmend Dispatch now sells for so
cents single copy, and $50 per hundred to

The Wilmington Journal of the 20th, says
their losses at Fort Fisher are over hundred
killed, and four or five hundred wounded, the
whole loss in killed, wounded and prisoners
not less than 5000. OF course, the fall of
Fort Fisher will necessitate the fall of the
other forts on the river below it. Everything
below New Inlet is in the power OF the enc
my, even if it is not already in his possession.
but that does not by any means imply pos ess-
OF the town OF Wilmington; but it does mean
the closing of blockade running at the port of
Wilmington, which is a severe blow.
JEFF. Davis, in a letter to the Virginia
Legislature, says Gen. Lee has repeatedly ex-
pressed his inability TO command the entire
armies of the Conlederacy and remain in the
field with the army of Virginia at the same
time, and asserts his own desire to make Lee
Commander in Chief, whenevr the letter con-
sents TO accept the position.

ON ARMING THE sLAvEs-JEFF. DAVIS DENoUH
GED IN THE REBEL CONGRESS-.

New YoRK, Jan. 3I.-In the rebel House
last Thursday, there was an interesting de-
bate on the bill to put slaves into the army.
During the debate jeff Davis was severely
denounced by the members.
Mr.. Turner, of North Carolina said he
looked upon the bill as a project to arm the
slaves The President had declared in favor
of it. When he gets them in the army as
teamsters and cooks, be can make them drill
or perform any other duty. He would be
willing to surrender the slave for independ-
ence.
The only objection be had to making SOL
diers of slaves was, that they would not eight
on our side; they would prove the enemy's
best allies, in accomplishing our overthrow
and destruction. The country had been too
long and too often deluded and deceived by
Presidential plans, projects and prohecies.-
None of his prophecies had been fulfilled no
one of his projects or plans had proved sue
cessfu. Yet the President proposes new and
dangerous schemes with undated confidence
in his own judgment.
The President had been much ofteper de-
ceived in his Judgment than the Corporal, and
it is time he had learned to distrust his iudg-
ment. He must not look for an unlimited
support, either from Congress or the country,
when he proposes the wild, mad scheme of arm
ing slaves. The world was beginning to learn
that all the abolitionists were not in the
North; and our President had proposed aboi-
tion in way that created suspicion as to his
soundness.
Mr.. Turner said it was time that Congress
should express their opinion upon arming
slaves, and stamp upon it the indelible stigma
of public adherence.
Mr. Leech, of North Carolina, said he was
unaltorably opposed to such a measure. He
believed that the day on which such policy
was adopted would sound the death-knell of
our cause. It would make a St. Domingo of
our land.
Others, from South Carolina and elsewhere
expressed similar views. The question was
not disposed Of

The loss of Fort Fishe. and consequent clo-
ings OF the port of Wilmington, is admitted by
the rebels to be the most serious blow they
have yet received-for the reason that it was
their last remaining channel through which
supplies from abroad could be- received in any
appreciabls quantity, and this source being cut
Of they are thrown almost entirely upon their
own limited resoucas for munitions oi war,
clothing, and other sustenace necessary for au
army The enormous extent Of the supplies re-
ceived through that port by means Of block
ade running, may be inferred from the follow
ing official statement, made by JEFF Davis to
the rebel Congress at the commencement of its
present session:
''From the 26th of October to the lst of
December, 1864, the imports consisted of
8,632, 900 pounds of meat I,507,00 pounds,

THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT-WILLI IT BE
RATIFIED BY THE STATES?

The glorious work Of passing through Con-
gress by two-thirl vote, the Constitutional
amendment abolishing slavery, which was
consummated yesterday, does not decide this
important question. The action of Congress
must be ratified by three-fOurths of the States,
before it becomes part of the Constitution of
the United States. The clause in the Consti-
tuition providing for amendments reads as fol-
lows:
Congress, whenever two-thirds of both
houses deem it necessary, must propose amend
ments to the Constitution or on the appli-
cation of the Legislature of two-thirds of the
several States, must call a convention for pro-
posing amendments, which, in either case, are
valid to all intents and purposes, as part of
the Constitution, when ratified by the Legisla-
lures of three-fourths Of the several States, or
by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the
one or the other mode of ratification may be
proposed by Congress provided that no
amendment which may be made prior to the
year one thousand eight hundred and eight,
shall, in any manner, affect the first and fourth
clauses in the ninth section of the first arti-
Gle and that no State, without its consent,
shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the
Senate
Assuming that no States are ont of the Uni
on by reason Of the rebellion, there are thir-
ty-six States to be counted. 1t therefore re-
quires twenty-seven States to ratify the
amendment proposed by Congress in order to
make it part of the Constitution. OF the
thirty-six States the following are certain to
ratify:
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa,
Wisconsin, Missouri, Kansas, Oregon, Ne
vada, California, Michigan, New York, Pen
nsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Rhode
Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut Vermont,
New Hampshire, Maine-22.
This is five less than the required number.
The doubtful States, not in rebellion, are
Kentucky, New Jersey, and Delaware. Then
we have Tennessee, Louisiana and Arkansas.
If Congress shall recognize the reorganization
of these States. they may be added to the
twenty-five States above enumerated, making
twenty-five in all. Then we must have in ad-
ditiOn two OF the three doubtful States, viz:
Kentucky, New Jersey and Delaware. The
present Legislature OF New Jersey may rati-
fy. The Kentucky Legislature is more doubt
ful, but there will be no doubt about the
Legislature to be elected next August. The
Delaware Legislature is Democratic, but it
may follow the example of Democratic Con-
gressmen, and vote for freedom.
1t is seen, however, that the prospect OF OBJ
tanning ratification by three fourths of the
States is not Immediately certain. But ulti-
mately the work will be done.-TC -TCincinnati

SnuTHERH PEACE GEITEMs.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The Richmond Sen
tinel Of Monday last, says: Messrs. Steph-
ems, Hunter and Jas A. Camp6eN left Rich
mond yesterday morning, on their way to
Washington, to confer with President Lincoln
on the subject of putting an end to the war,
if possible The circumstances under which
these gentlemen departed are understood to be
as follows:
Mr. Blair having sought an unofficial and
confidential interview with jeff Davis, de-
parted for Washington with an assurance that
Mr.. Davis would be wiIliog st any time, with
out anv obstacle Of form, TO send agents or
commissioners to Washington to confer about
terms of peace. if informed in advance that
said commissioners would be received.
On MIR. Blair's second visit 10 Richmond,
be brought the consent of Mr. Lincoln TO
receive aud confer with any agents. informally
sent, with a view to the restoration Of peace,
The three gentlemen who left yesterday. were
thereupon selected by President Davis, and
they have gone without formal credentials, and
merely as iuf0rmai agents to see whether it be
possible 10 place a conference for peace on arg
basis which may serve tor attaining so desira-
ble result. It is possible that success may
attend these efforts, out wisd ON and prudence
demand that We indulge in 10 confident ex-
pectations on the subject, and thatwe relax not
one moment energetic preparation for the en-
suing campaign
From the choice made by the President we
may rest assured that no means will be left un-
tried to effect peace, if it be possible to at
tain it; but if the eminent citizens selected for
the purpose shall fail in the attempt one coed
result will certainly have been reached. All
the discordant counsels on this subject will
no longer be in the power of the factious or
timid to persuade the people that peace eau be
reached by any path other than that opened
for Us by stout hearts and stout hands.

4 distressed looking contraband, who had
worked his way from Dixie to Freedom, says
the Dayton, (O) Journal of the Both, was pre-
sented at the Provost Marshal's Office, the other
day, as a recruit. He was frst-rate victim
of the Soulher bloodhound system. On his
body, arms and legs, were the marks Of the

Of the scourge and the bloodhounds, say it was

condition little above an idiot. Of course
the poor fellow was not taken into the serv-

GuRN.HusKS FOR PAPER-lHF0RMATIOH FOR THE
FARMERS,

New YoRK, Jan. 81 1.-The editors of the
country who have control OF the new patent
process for making printing paper from corn
husks, being overwhelmed with letters of in
quiry from farmers and others, give notice that
their immediate wish is to elicit information.
They desire TO receive proposals from every
State, county and town in the United States,
for supplying dry and sound husks, as the same
may be stripped from the corn. The leaves OF
the corn are also desirable. The husks and
leaves may be cut up, if more convenient aud
should be delivered at railroad stations, well
packed in bales or bags. The editors wish to
receive proposals stating the quantiety that
will be contracted for and the price per pound
for one, two, or more years. Address, with
full particulars, D. H. Craig, General Agent
of the Associated Press, New York City.

1HE MEWs.

We have nothing important from the field oi
military operations. Shermans army is in
motion, but up to date of last edviees he had
not come into collision with the opposing reb-
el forces. His advance had reached Salka-
hatchie on the 23d, which is about so miles
from Charleston 1t is said the rebels will
make stand and risk battle at AshepoO
bridge, fifteen miles from the city.
No movements have been made in front OF
Richmond or Petersburg since the recent rebel
naval expedition against our supply depots at
City Point and Bermuda Hundred, which
proved q disastrous failure. 1t is certain that
this movement, from which they anticipated
great results, is the one at which they had
been hinting for some time previons, which
was to astonish the world. They evidently
contemplated following it, in case it succeeded,
with an aggressive land movement on the
north side Of the james.
There are reports of movements looking to
the evacuation of Charleston, Mobile, Will
mington, and even Richmond; but nothing
authentic is known on the subject
The rebel papers speak of a Union tOrce OF
5000 advancing up the ChOwan river toward
Weldon. and express serious spprehensiOns
as to the result.
The rebel Congress is discussing the question
of arming the slaves. The measure meets with
determined opposition; many prominent MEM
bers denounce the project in unmeasured terms
and predict the most terrible consequences
should it be adopted.
Peace rumors still prevail, and it now seems
pretty definitely settled that three rebel COM
missiOners recently left Richmond for Wash
ington, and they are probably there by this
time. If they come to insist upon the recog-
milton Of their independence as a condition
precedent, it ia not at all likely peace viii re-
suit from their labors.

FREEDOM TRIUMPHANT.-The proposed
amendment Of the Constitution abolishing sla-
very, which passed the Senate by the requi-
site thirds majority at the last session, but
failed in the House, passed that body also
Tuesday morning, by the decisive vote of 1l9
ayes to Sc nays, and the measure now goes to
the State Legislatures for their decision. All
the Union members present voted for the
measure, together with the following Demo
Gratis: Bailey and Cofroth, of Pennsylvania;
Baldwin, of Michigan; Hutchins, o Ohio;
Odell, Steele, Herrick, Ganson and Radford,
of New York; English, Of Connecticut; Gra-
ham, of Kentucky; and King, of Missouri
Among the nays were Bliss, Cox, Fink,
Johnson, Long, Morris, Noble, O'Neal, Pen
dleton and White, Of this State-all except
Fink repudiated by their constituents at the
last election LeBlond and Mckinney, the
remaining two Democratic members, were
absent. The announcement of the result
produced intense excitement among the i'm
mense crowd of spectators in the galleries.
The scene is thus described by the special cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Gazette:
The largest audience of the session packed
the galleries and lobbies, crowded the repor-
ters' gallery with ladies, aud overhowed into
all the vacant spaces. On the floor appeals
were made, as usual, from the Democrat side,
TO have the vote postponed, and there were
implied threats of fillibustering unless it was;
but Mr.. Ashley refused to make any further
delay, and the Democrats wisely resolved to
submit. The final announcement of the vote
was the signal for a wbirlwind of applause,
wholly unprecedented in Congress, and the
galleries led of, giving cheer after cheer. The
members on the floor then joined, shouting,
throwing up their hats and elappiDg their
hands, while the ladies in the galleries waved
their haudkerchiefs, and the very pages on the
floor joined in the demonstration of delight
The Democrats had been very fierce in their
demands for order when there had been some
applause over the affirmative votes of some of
their own number, and had very imperiously
demanded the enforcement Of the rules, but
the storm Of applause that now swept through
the chamber was too much to resist. They
sat silent and solemn in their seats amid all
the rejoicing.
