HENSLEY, President. DAl-BKEAK. I stand alone in the quiet street, And the night is clear and chill, And half the world in its slumber sweet Lies dead and calm at its Ruler's feet, As if to learn His will. No noise, save the fall of the watchman's feet, As he goes his rounds from street to street, Keeping a guard of the souls who sleep, Sleep in this beautilul city. . On beds of down in palace halls, On beds of Btraw 'neath prison walls, On beds and boards, and in filthy stalls, AU in tbis beautilul city. And the great bell tolls from tbe City Hall, And with every stroke there seems to fall A glimmering light from tbe heavens tall Over the beautiful city. And tbe great bell knells for the passing night, And the great bell chimes for the coming light, Tolls and chimes lor night and light. Over the beautiful city. And the purple light falls through the night, And olothes the world in a mantle bright, And the night ascends with a seeming fright. At the grace of the new born day. And the lark singB shrill from the highest trees. And the diamond dew stands on the leaves, And the lark sings joy and the nightbird grieves That the night is passed away. Negro Equality In New Orleans. Mr. Lincoln's party in New Orleans has reached its logical level. At a reoent 'Convention" in that city, called to inaugurate an Abolition State "Government," a negro delegation was admitted to a seat in the Convention, and the proceedings were opened with prayer by a negro preacher! This is just aB it should be, and we feel rejoiced that the party in New Orleans has a streak of honesty about it not to be found elsewhere. The glaring inconsistency of many "Republicans" claiming "impartial freedom" for negroes and then refusing to carry out their principles, is constantly illustrated every day about us. That they have had the courage to be consistent once, is a good Bign, and we trust they will keep on for therein consists the chance of getting a clear, straight" out issue with them. We regret to see, however, that some of the more shuffling, double-faced.Re- publiean papers are already alarmed, and fear that their Few Orleans friends have gone too far, •'for the present". The Daily Times, of this city, is one of these. It bewails its "fast" confreres in Louisiana, and declares that they must beware, or they may create a great reaction in the North—that the people are not yet prepared for this movement, &o. It says not one word against the .principle involved, but on the contrary, intimates it is just wbat we will and must come to, but at present, it fears tbat it is too unpopular to attempt it. Such is the spirit of tbe Era, an Abolition paper published iu New Orleans. It says : " Ifth^ colored men of Louisiana would have the fetters of slavery stricken from their limbs, with no possibility of their being again, riveted by superior force, tbey should, in our opinion, refrain from all attempts to mingle, for the present, in political organizations." "For the' present;" It is therefore acknowledged that tbis is the ultimate objeet intended.— Let Republicans who have denied tbat such was the objeet of their party, explain thia confession, coming as it does from the official organ of Mr. Lincoln's administration in Louisiana. The purport of the above, as well as that which the Daily Tmesi Baid, was tbis: For the present we must not admit "negroeB to our State Conventions, our & Legislators, to Congress, &c. The people are "not yet prepared for it; but after a little, they " will accept it, just as they have the Emancipation Proclamation, negro Boldiers, &a. Then we "will go the whole figure, and with the negroes .'vote down all the Copperheads in creation." The delegates elected at the Convention referred to were intended for representatives in tbe Abolition Convention to be Boon held in Louisville, Ky. We are not aware whether a negro will be sent as a delegate, but if one is seleoted, the Police of Louisville, according to the municipal law of that oity, will probably arrest him and put bim in jail for want of a pass from his master! Then won't there be a time in Abolitiondom 1 And won't 'the government" wax wroth that one of its "free and equal citizens" has been thus rudely insulted, and Kentucky will be ground to powder for dar* ng to insult the god of eur nation's idolatry.— Day Book. " Has cleared Just Two Million Dollars."— Last week we went into a store in Pittsburg to make a small purchase. The proprietor was just going out, and remarked to us that he would like to show us some nice goods, but be waa ivited to see a friend's daughter married. After he went out the gentleman waiting upon us said, "Mr. L- is gone to see Miss. B. married; her father bas cleared just $2,000,000 within the last two years 1" "How ?" we enquired. "By Govern ment contracts," be replied. Tbis is fine. Two millions clear in two short years I The marriage of a daughter and a golden wedding at the close I If this was the onlj view of the subject it would be magnificent. But those two short years have desolated many, many happy homes, made many sorrowing widows, and bereaved many innocent little babes of a kind father and protector.—And at tbe end, instead of orange blossoms, a funeral procession and cypress leaves simbolize the inward sorrow ofthe beart. The picture has two sides. Mr. B. "has clared $2,000- 0001'' and wishes the war to go on ; a poor widow has lost her husband, and is thrown upon tbe charity ofthe world. The first looks to Mr. Lincoln for fortune ; the last to Good for bread I —Kittanning (Penn.) Mentor. Saving tbe Union There can be no doubt that the preservation of tbe Union is an object dear to the popular heart. It is something more than ah opinion, it is an in- Btinct. The prospect of a division of our country into detached fragments, jealous Of each other, and warring perhaps against one another, is a picture which no American can contemplate with feelings other than those of deep-seated and positive ad- version. This popular instinot of Union haB been the great power Which the Republican party has wielded to carry out their principles of negro equality. Assuming that they were trying to restore the Union, it followed as a logical consequence that they bad the right to remove whatever obtacles there were in the way of its restoration, This has afforded them the excuse, tothe popular mind, for all tbeir assaults upon the constitution, and all tbeir outrageous attacks upon the Ammerican relation of the races, New there is no getting overoraround this instinct of Union. It must be satisfied, and it ought to be, for bow can these States live so happily as under a well regulated Federal Union, such as that formed by Washington and his compatriots of 1788 ? Persons often wonder why the people acquiesoe in and seem to Btipport all unconstitutional and tyranical acta of Lincoln's Administration, the easy answer to all this is, "the Unoin I the Union 1" That is associated, in the popular mind, as such an on- mixed good, that anything and everything seems of; less value. The Republicans bave a most powerful lever to work with, and they know it. Let a man say "^eaoe," and they tell you that that means disunion, and so it does, allowing tbat a party with their principle is to remain in power. The North as represented by abolitionists, and the South can no more live together than oil and water can unite, What then? Shall we(give up the Union? Nay. How tben can we get it? First, we must deny in toto that Mr, Lincoln or his party has ever made the first effort to save-it- The very last effort made to preserve the Union was made by the Peace Convention in Washington in February, 1861, before Mr. Lincoln's accession to office. Since tben, all tbat has been done has tended to destroy it, and to make its destruction more certain and more sure. Is there a republican iu the land who doea not know tbat tbe Union is to-day farther off than when Mr. Lincoln Bent hia first fleet to Charleston, and set in motion tbe awful train of consequences tbat bave followed ? But beyond all this, the men in power never wished to preserve the Union. We say this deliberately. They never wished to preserve it, and they do not, and are not trying to restore it, and would not restore it if they could. This position we must also take and take boldly, for upon this bang all the law and the prophets. We do no injustice to the Republicans when we say this, for almost any Intelligent Republican will allow it. Indeed tbey never professed to be in favor of the Union. They abused and ridiculed it foryears. 'They derisively declared Democrats "Union savers," and compared them to old women "sitting up with tbe Union, nursing it." It is fair to say that they had no par. ticular objection to a certain kind of Union—ex« actly what kind they have never defined, except that the nogroes should all be free ; but as we know of no Union except that embraced in the terms of the Constitution over which George Washington presided in 1788, there iB no other Union to talk about. That Union they always repudiated, and they have an undoubted right to feel insulted when accused of any intention to restore it! Indeed so plain and bo palpable is tbeir opposition to the Union, tbat Mr Lincoln bas just issued a revolutionary pronunciamento declaring it at an end and fixing one on his own termsl Now, the people want the Union, not Mr. Lin- con's ghastly hodge-podge of contraband camps and white men's graves. Why should not Democrats, then, make an effort to save the Union 1 Yes, save the Union, even yet. Nobody has tried to do it for the past three years. The Union, the great and glorious work of Washington and Madison has actually been abandoned. Let a man, therefore, be selected for a candidate for President, who represents the Union under the Constitution—the White Government formed by Washington—not war or anti-war simply#for when the government is again administered as it has been for seventy years, that moment there will be no war, for there will be no cause for war. Let us, therefore, cease to support any longer a Disunion Party and found a Union Party, a Democratic Union party. Let us no longer be the allies of Disunionists and Abolitionists, now in open revolt against tbe Union of Washington, but rather let us rally to the standard of our fathers, and sweep the enemies of the Union as the whirlwind sweeps the leaves of tbe forest.—Day Book. African Theology. We think It quite likely that tbe mongrel of "colored" population of thia city partakes mora largely of white or Caucasian blood than it does -of tbe negro ; nevertheless, tbe imitative faculty the most patent and fundamental of the negro na-» ture, Is so Btrong, that even among these mongrel people, it is the dominant quality. The native negro mind is absolutely a blank—a sheet oi black, ii not white, paper, on which if in favorable Dilation to hira, the white man may write as be pleases, not by thrusting the lower creature into the mental processes specific with' the higher race as the besotted lunatics try to do at Hilton Head, &c, but presenting them with models of gocd conduct, that ca.l into action tbe imitative faculty, tbe highest, most,invariable and most endnring of the negro nature. But this dominant quality of the negro may become the instrument ol his per-* version and degradation as well as bis elevatiofl, and we now witness in tbis city a striking iJlustra- tion. A portion of the churches and pastors of tbo North have, witbin tbe past two years, become al' together pagan and devilish in praclifle, whatever may be their orthodoxy in matters of opinion. Cheever, Beecher, Sloane, Tyng and others, have often, it Is said, held war meetings and made recruiting stations of tbeir several ehurehes, anil taught their besotted followers tbat blood nothing but blood, can save the "life of the nation,'' and- restore peace and Union among bretbern. The negro naturally religious, though usually ofthe Enake worshipping order,unless kept straight fcy good example, imitates all the bloody and monstrous features of tbe Cbeever school, and now, since darkeydom is to be mustered into the war, their religion in this eity is becoming as hideous and devilish as that of Dahomy or Beeeberrs. Wesee by the Anglo-Aftiean, tbat all their cbnrehes are regular reoruiting stations, and the pastors, with their deacons or vestrys, bead the recruiting committees. Poor creatures I they liltle know the awful future preparing for tbem. or the devil'9 danee Cheever & Co. are leading tbem into.— Day Book. Total Loss of the Pbidh of ths Ska.—Captain Pierce, owner of the brig Pride of the Sea, which went ashore near Point Conception some time ago has returned to this city, and reports that his vessel is a total wreck. The steam-tug Goliah has also returned, having been unable to do anything toward saving the vessel.—Democratic Press New York, January 27.—The special Washington dispath to the Post says : "It is thought now that Garrett Davis will be censured, 'and not expelled from the Senate. The Senate Ways and Means Committee have agreed to recommend an appropriation of one hundred thousand dollars to defray the expenses of calling out tbe troops of the several border States. The steamship Scotta, for Liverpool to-dsy, carried out five hundred and fifty thousand dollars in specie. A Washington special says: "It is now certain that a serious mutiny bas occurred iu the rebel camp, near Stevensburg, on Saturday. Deserters say a regimant attempted to desert, and a serious affray occurred." Louisville, Jan. 27tb.—The Nashville Union says: "Yesterday we conversed with several well informed parties, two of tbem East Tennessee refugees, and all witnesses, who concur in the statement that every train for Northern Virginia comes loaded with troops from Lee's .army, and tbat legions are added to the force now under Long- street. It is even believed by many that Lee, himself, feeling the necessity for the re-occupation of East Tennessee, will leave bis old command and take charge of the campaign in tbe region of Knoxville. He and Jeff Davis argae if East Tennessee is not re-possessed, Riohmond must be abandoned. If, in reinforcing Longstreet's army, the Capital is lost, it may be regained provided the assault on Grant proves successful and tbere is a chance that Meade may remain inactive, witb but a small force confronting Hill. In tbat event Knoxville may be retaken, and Richmond saved." The Union says: "We speak from a thorough knowledge.of the situation, and know that Foster is sufficiently able to defeat any force the rebels \ can bring against him. ECHO VERSES.

The Senator Meets with an Accident.—As the steamer Senator, bound South, was swinging out from ber berth at Broadway wharf yesterday afternoon, a little after 4 o'clock, she met with an accident tbat temporarily disabled ber. It occurred in this way : Sbe had backed ont some distance and had got fairly past Broadway wharf, and was endeavoring to get turned round witb her bow toward the Golden Gate, when tbrongh tbe awk* waidneBB of some one, she run plump against the outer edge of tbe detached section of Vallejo- street wharf, tore hall her starbard wheel-house off, and got one of the piles ot the wharf run entirely through the same wheel-houBe. We happened to be on Broadway wharf at tbe time the accident occurred, so we got in a boat and went to tbe vessel. It was an ugly looking wonnd she received ; but it was repaired to-day, and the ves* sel resumed her journey.—Democratic Press. From Chatanoga, the Union learns the completion of tbe railroad. Tbe State of theriver and the weather will render a campaign feasible in a very brief period. The difficulty between General Fremont and Samuel Hallet threatens to delay the work on the Pacific Railroad. From Cbattanoga, the Union learns the completion of tbe railroad. The state ofthe river and the weather will render a campaign in a very brief period. Parton, ("Fanny Fern's" husband,) biographer of General Jackson, Horace Greeley, et al, has lately visited Lowell to collect materials for a life of General Butler, which he will put to press as soon as posihle.—Exchange. Three features in Butler's biography will, be read with interest; How ho managed to indorse all of "old Buchanan's rascality," as Ben's freinds have it, and kept all the Butler tribe in Massachusetts supplied with positions under Democrtic administrations; what the consideration was for Butler's voting so often for Jeff. Davis in the Charleston Convention; and, lastly, the people are curious to know what Ben's cotton speculations at SNew Orleans netted him. A truthfully written life of General Butler would be a rich thing.—Grass Valley National. CM CO CM co o co CM CO CM CM CO CM ID CM CO CM 0} CM — o CM a> CO r»_ i^. CO CD in ■* co io_ CM

I stand alone in the quiet street, And the night is clear and chill, And half the world in its slumber sweet Lies dead and calm at its Ruler's feet, As if to learn His will. No noise, save the fall of the watchman's feet, As he goes his rounds from street to street, Keeping a guard of the souls who sleep, Sleep in this beautilul city. . On beds of down in palace halls, On beds of Btraw 'neath prison walls, On beds and boards, and in filthy stalls, AU in tbis beautilul city. And the great bell tolls from tbe City Hall, And with every stroke there seems to fall A glimmering light from tbe heavens tall Over the beautiful city. And tbe great bell knells for the passing night, And the great bell chimes for the coming light, Tolls and chimes lor night and light. Over the beautiful city. And the purple light falls through the night, And olothes the world in a mantle bright, And the night ascends with a seeming fright. At the grace of the new born day. And the lark singB shrill from the highest trees. And the diamond dew stands on the leaves, And the lark sings joy and the nightbird grieves That the night is passed away. Negro Equality In New Orleans. Mr. Lincoln's party in New Orleans has reached its logical level. At a reoent 'Convention" in that city, called to inaugurate an Abolition State "Government," a negro delegation was admitted to a seat in the Convention, and the proceedings were opened with prayer by a negro preacher! This is just aB it should be, and we feel rejoiced that the party in New Orleans has a streak of honesty about it not to be found elsewhere. The glaring inconsistency of many "Republicans" claiming "impartial freedom" for negroes and then refusing to carry out their principles, is constantly illustrated every day about us. That they have had the courage to be consistent once, is a good Bign, and we trust they will keep on for therein consists the chance of getting a clear, straight" out issue with them. We regret to see, however, that some of the more shuffling, double-faced.Re- publiean papers are already alarmed, and fear that their Few Orleans friends have gone too far, •'for the present". The Daily Times, of this city, is one of these. It bewails its "fast" confreres in Louisiana, and declares that they must beware, or they may create a great reaction in the North—that the people are not yet prepared for this movement, &o. It says not one word against the .principle involved, but on the contrary, intimates it is just wbat we will and must come to, but at present, it fears tbat it is too unpopular to attempt it. Such is the spirit of tbe Era, an Abolition paper published iu New Orleans. It says : " Ifth^ colored men of Louisiana would have the fetters of slavery stricken from their limbs, with no possibility of their being again, riveted by superior force, tbey should, in our opinion, refrain from all attempts to mingle, for the present, in political organizations." "For the' present;" It is therefore acknowledged that tbis is the ultimate objeet intended.— Let Republicans who have denied tbat such was the objeet of their party, explain thia confession, coming as it does from the official organ of Mr. Lincoln's administration in Louisiana. The purport of the above, as well as that which the Daily Tmesi Baid, was tbis: For the present we must not admit "negroeB to our State Conventions, our & Legislators, to Congress, &c. The people are "not yet prepared for it; but after a little, they " will accept it, just as they have the Emancipation Proclamation, negro Boldiers, &a. Then we "will go the whole figure, and with the negroes .'vote down all the Copperheads in creation." The delegates elected at the Convention referred to were intended for representatives in tbe Abolition Convention to be Boon held in Louisville, Ky. We are not aware whether a negro will be sent as a delegate, but if one is seleoted, the Police of Louisville, according to the municipal law of that oity, will probably arrest him and put bim in jail for want of a pass from his master! Then won't there be a time in Abolitiondom 1 And won't 'the government" wax wroth that one of its "free and equal citizens" has been thus rudely insulted, and Kentucky will be ground to powder for dar* ng to insult the god of eur nation's idolatry.— Day Book. " Has cleared Just Two Million Dollars."— Last week we went into a store in Pittsburg to make a small purchase. The proprietor was just going out, and remarked to us that he would like to show us some nice goods, but be waa ivited to see a friend's daughter married. After he went out the gentleman waiting upon us said, "Mr. L- is gone to see Miss. B. married; her father bas cleared just $2,000,000 within the last two years 1" "How ?" we enquired. "By Govern ment contracts," be replied. Tbis is fine. Two millions clear in two short years I The marriage of a daughter and a golden wedding at the close I If this was the onlj view of the subject it would be magnificent. But those two short years have desolated many, many happy homes, made many sorrowing widows, and bereaved many innocent little babes of a kind father and protector.—And at tbe end, instead of orange blossoms, a funeral procession and cypress leaves simbolize the inward sorrow ofthe beart. The picture has two sides. Mr. B. "has clared $2,000- 0001'' and wishes the war to go on ; a poor widow has lost her husband, and is thrown upon tbe charity ofthe world. The first looks to Mr. Lincoln for fortune ; the last to Good for bread I —Kittanning (Penn.) Mentor. Saving tbe Union There can be no doubt that the preservation of tbe Union is an object dear to the popular heart. It is something more than ah opinion, it is an in- Btinct. The prospect of a division of our country into detached fragments, jealous Of each other, and warring perhaps against one another, is a picture which no American can contemplate with feelings other than those of deep-seated and positive ad- version. This popular instinot of Union haB been the great power Which the Republican party has wielded to carry out their principles of negro equality. Assuming that they were trying to restore the Union, it followed as a logical consequence that they bad the right to remove whatever obtacles there were in the way of its restoration, This has afforded them the excuse, tothe popular mind, for all tbeir assaults upon the constitution, and all tbeir outrageous attacks upon the Ammerican relation of the races, New there is no getting overoraround this instinct of Union. It must be satisfied, and it ought to be, for bow can these States live so happily as under a well regulated Federal Union, such as that formed by Washington and his compatriots of 1788 ? Persons often wonder why the people acquiesoe in and seem to Btipport all unconstitutional and tyranical acta of Lincoln's Administration, the easy answer to all this is, "the Unoin I the Union 1" That is associated, in the popular mind, as such an on- mixed good, that anything and everything seems of; less value. The Republicans bave a most powerful lever to work with, and they know it. Let a man say "^eaoe," and they tell you that that means disunion, and so it does, allowing tbat a party with their principle is to remain in power. The North as represented by abolitionists, and the South can no more live together than oil and water can unite, What then? Shall we(give up the Union? Nay. How tben can we get it? First, we must deny in toto that Mr, Lincoln or his party has ever made the first effort to save-it- The very last effort made to preserve the Union was made by the Peace Convention in Washington in February, 1861, before Mr. Lincoln's accession to office. Since tben, all tbat has been done has tended to destroy it, and to make its destruction more certain and more sure. Is there a republican iu the land who doea not know tbat tbe Union is to-day farther off than when Mr. Lincoln Bent hia first fleet to Charleston, and set in motion tbe awful train of consequences tbat bave followed ? But beyond all this, the men in power never wished to preserve the Union. We say this deliberately. They never wished to preserve it, and they do not, and are not trying to restore it, and would not restore it if they could. This position we must also take and take boldly, for upon this bang all the law and the prophets. We do no injustice to the Republicans when we say this, for almost any Intelligent Republican will allow it. Indeed tbey never professed to be in favor of the Union. They abused and ridiculed it foryears. 'They derisively declared Democrats "Union savers," and compared them to old women "sitting up with tbe Union, nursing it." It is fair to say that they had no par. ticular objection to a certain kind of Union—ex« actly what kind they have never defined, except that the nogroes should all be free ; but as we know of no Union except that embraced in the terms of the Constitution over which George Washington presided in 1788, there iB no other Union to talk about. That Union they always repudiated, and they have an undoubted right to feel insulted when accused of any intention to restore it! Indeed so plain and bo palpable is tbeir opposition to the Union, tbat Mr Lincoln bas just issued a revolutionary pronunciamento declaring it at an end and fixing one on his own termsl Now, the people want the Union, not Mr. Lin- con's ghastly hodge-podge of contraband camps and white men's graves. Why should not Democrats, then, make an effort to save the Union 1 Yes, save the Union, even yet. Nobody has tried to do it for the past three years. The Union, the great and glorious work of Washington and Madison has actually been abandoned. Let a man, therefore, be selected for a candidate for President, who represents the Union under the Constitution—the White Government formed by Washington—not war or anti-war simply#for when the government is again administered as it has been for seventy years, that moment there will be no war, for there will be no cause for war. Let us, therefore, cease to support any longer a Disunion Party and found a Union Party, a Democratic Union party. Let us no longer be the allies of Disunionists and Abolitionists, now in open revolt against tbe Union of Washington, but rather let us rally to the standard of our fathers, and sweep the enemies of the Union as the whirlwind sweeps the leaves of tbe forest.—Day Book. African Theology. We think It quite likely that tbe mongrel of "colored" population of thia city partakes mora largely of white or Caucasian blood than it does -of tbe negro ; nevertheless, tbe imitative faculty the most patent and fundamental of the negro na-» ture, Is so Btrong, that even among these mongrel people, it is the dominant quality. The native negro mind is absolutely a blank—a sheet oi black, ii not white, paper, on which if in favorable Dilation to hira, the white man may write as be pleases, not by thrusting the lower creature into the mental processes specific with' the higher race as the besotted lunatics try to do at Hilton Head, &c, but presenting them with models of gocd conduct, that ca.l into action tbe imitative faculty, tbe highest, most,invariable and most endnring of the negro nature. But this dominant quality of the negro may become the instrument ol his per-* version and degradation as well as bis elevatiofl, and we now witness in tbis city a striking iJlustra- tion. A portion of the churches and pastors of tbo North have, witbin tbe past two years, become al' together pagan and devilish in praclifle, whatever may be their orthodoxy in matters of opinion. Cheever, Beecher, Sloane, Tyng and others, have often, it Is said, held war meetings and made recruiting stations of tbeir several ehurehes, anil taught their besotted followers tbat blood nothing but blood, can save the "life of the nation,'' and- restore peace and Union among bretbern. The negro naturally religious, though usually ofthe Enake worshipping order,unless kept straight fcy good example, imitates all the bloody and monstrous features of tbe Cbeever school, and now, since darkeydom is to be mustered into the war, their religion in this eity is becoming as hideous and devilish as that of Dahomy or Beeeberrs. Wesee by the Anglo-Aftiean, tbat all their cbnrehes are regular reoruiting stations, and the pastors, with their deacons or vestrys, bead the recruiting committees. Poor creatures I they liltle know the awful future preparing for tbem. or the devil'9 danee Cheever & Co. are leading tbem into.— Day Book. Total Loss of the Pbidh of ths Ska.—Captain Pierce, owner of the brig Pride of the Sea, which went ashore near Point Conception some time ago has returned to this city, and reports that his vessel is a total wreck. The steam-tug Goliah has also returned, having been unable to do anything toward saving the vessel.—Democratic Press New York, January 27.—The special Washington dispath to the Post says : "It is thought now that Garrett Davis will be censured, 'and not expelled from the Senate. The Senate Ways and Means Committee have agreed to recommend an appropriation of one hundred thousand dollars to defray the expenses of calling out tbe troops of the several border States. The steamship Scotta, for Liverpool to-dsy, carried out five hundred and fifty thousand dollars in specie. A Washington special says: "It is now certain that a serious mutiny bas occurred iu the rebel camp, near Stevensburg, on Saturday. Deserters say a regimant attempted to desert, and a serious affray occurred." Louisville, Jan. 27tb.—The Nashville Union says: "Yesterday we conversed with several well informed parties, two of tbem East Tennessee refugees, and all witnesses, who concur in the statement that every train for Northern Virginia comes loaded with troops from Lee's .army, and tbat legions are added to the force now under Long- street. It is even believed by many that Lee, himself, feeling the necessity for the re-occupation of East Tennessee, will leave bis old command and take charge of the campaign in tbe region of Knoxville. He and Jeff Davis argae if East Tennessee is not re-possessed, Riohmond must be abandoned. If, in reinforcing Longstreet's army, the Capital is lost, it may be regained provided the assault on Grant proves successful and tbere is a chance that Meade may remain inactive, witb but a small force confronting Hill. In tbat event Knoxville may be retaken, and Richmond saved." The Union says: "We speak from a thorough knowledge.of the situation, and know that Foster is sufficiently able to defeat any force the rebels \ can bring against him. ECHO VERSES.

The Senator Meets with an Accident.—As the steamer Senator, bound South, was swinging out from ber berth at Broadway wharf yesterday afternoon, a little after 4 o'clock, she met with an accident tbat temporarily disabled ber. It occurred in this way : Sbe had backed ont some distance and had got fairly past Broadway wharf, and was endeavoring to get turned round witb her bow toward the Golden Gate, when tbrongh tbe awk* waidneBB of some one, she run plump against the outer edge of tbe detached section of Vallejo- street wharf, tore hall her starbard wheel-house off, and got one of the piles ot the wharf run entirely through the same wheel-houBe. We happened to be on Broadway wharf at tbe time the accident occurred, so we got in a boat and went to tbe vessel. It was an ugly looking wonnd she received ; but it was repaired to-day, and the ves* sel resumed her journey.—Democratic Press. From Chatanoga, the Union learns the completion of tbe railroad.

Davis in the Charleston Convention; and, lastly, the people are curious to know what Ben's cotton speculations at SNew Orleans netted him.
