rha RamWebb.

This rebel craft which has gone the
way of the Merrimsc and other rebel
crafts, was formerly used in New York as
a towboat and as an ice breaker IN the
winter, for which purpose she was spe-
cially constructed, being of great strength
and fitted with powerfulengines. Anew
years before the war she was purchased
by some of the New Orleans merchants
for the purpose of towing The heavily
laden ships to and from the city. She
was noted for her power and speed
when the rebellion broke out she was
still at New Orleans, and was, of course,
seized by the rebel authorities, and con-
yerted into ram and gunboat. In the
latter part of May, 1861, she seized three
vessels loaded with oil and made prizes
of them; but after the establishment Of
q blockade by Union squadron at the
mouth of the Mississippi her little pri-
watering inclinations were effectuaiiy
stopped, and we hear little of her again
until she attacked, with her consort, the
ram Queen of the West, the iron.clad
Indianola, in the Mississippi, and, after a
desperate struggle, in which she rammed
her several times, compelled her to sur
render. On the passage of the Yicksburg
batteries by our fleet the Webbretreated
to the Red river, which she assembled far
above Alexandria, where she remained
until after the failure of Banks expedi-
ton up that river, when she came down
and prepared to run the blockade with a
load of cotton, or perhaps as privateer.
information of this fact reaching Admi-
raj Lees ears, he dispatched q feet OF
iron-clads and gunboats to the mouth OF
the Red river. to prevent her escape
Among them were the monitor Manhat-
tan and the iron-clad Lafayette,-the lat
ter a vessel of some speed. Unde. cover
of darkness, however, the Webb eluded
the blockaders.

One of the important lessons 10 aSr d 5ne
Violence.


One of the important lessons for Inc
nation to learn from the SAD ana dlS-
graceful deed which we are now mourn
inu. is that by some error we have per-
n;ited the gro with within our limits OF q
class of people whose final argument " phys'-
coI force Such q class Is dangerous TO
snv state, but in peculiar manner and
in special degree dangerouslto q Iree
state. because its direct tendency ls 10
make free government impossible.
No republic, no free government, can hve
there the spirit ofrebellion Is active ana
has the slightest encouragement no
.aatter wnder WRat pretense-from honora-
Bile citizens.
The above extract from the New YORK
Evening Poet, leading Republican jour-
nal, ia full of wisdom. 1t is q truth ap-
nareut to the most casual observer that
the excitements of the last four years
have developed, to dangerop s degree
adisrespect for law and disposition to
override it's forms. Many persons seem
to forget that there is any law prescrib-
ing the duty of citizens and providing
for the punishment of offenders. There
has been and still is disposition in the
minds of some turbulent individuals to
constitute themselves the judges of their
neighbours guilt and the executors OF
their own DEGREES 1t has manifested
itself in hundreds Of instances all over
the country. Nothing is or can be more
directly in violation of the spirit of our
government, or more dangerous to the
perpetuity of our liberty, than this spirit
of lswlessnees which so many. men en-
courage and so few dare to oppose.
We are well aware that the feelings
and opinions of individuals and commu
mites may be lacerated and insulted by
the conduct of others, but We know that
for every possible wrong there Is provid
ed legal remedy to be obtained in le'
gal way. Mob law strikes at the very
root of civil society, and is identical with
rebellion itself. He is really rebel
against the government, who takes il
upon himself to say, in violation of law
what punishment shall be inflicted upon
the guiltiest of his fellow men. And he is
also q rebel, who, by spssking or writing
incites others to acts of violence or seeks
to palliate aud excuse their crime. The
L4p /, eur sorere'gn, we Must obey it our
selves. sud those who dgobey must be
punished as the law directs.
