tr.OTTXYILLE, TLURSDAV, JAN. 28,1801.
Struggling, as our country is, bravely
ejainst the rebellion ; constantly narrow
ing its boundary, hemmiag it in on oae
eide, by what has been termed by our
'beef eating" friends in the "fcj isle"
of England, a "paper blockade," and on
the ether by th bayonets of determiatd
freemen, the question of a final settle
meat, and how that is to be affected to
the best advantage end the eternal ex
tinclin of eJarary, coitim up with a force
hitherto unexpected. So eager has been
tha public tnmd upon the vital point of
asserting the supremacy of the Constitu
tion over ever f oat of Union territory,
that, should the rebellion cease to-morrow,
our government would be nearly in as
bad a predicament as the boy that taught
an elephant, and after he got ti "didn't
know what to do with it."
The most sanguine, upon the matter of
slavery, think that the President's Pro
clamation has settled that entirely, and
that slavery does not exist within that
territory in rebellion at the time specified
in it. And such was our opinion, but
late advices from the South show that
such is not the view taken by the ioyal
men of Louisiana. The following is from
the St. Louis Democrat's special corres
pondent from Washington :
Gen. Bank's had issued a proclamation
for a State election for Governor, &.c.,,
for Louisiana, on the 22d of February.
He declares that so much of the consti
tution and laws of the State as relate to
slavery, being inconsistent with the pres
ent state cf affairs and plainly inapplica
ble to any class of persons now existing
within its limits, are inoperative and void.
The General also appoints a Conven
tion for the revision ot the Constitution,
to be held on the first Monday in May
next. Arrangements will be made for
an early election of members of Congress.
This we see styled by a "prominent
leader in the free State movement in
Louisiana," a "military dictation," and
Banks, for carrying out the orders of the
President, is called "another Schefield."
The following is what we nllude to:
Washington, Jan. 21. The same
steamer which brought the account of tho
. great meeting in New Orleans, in favor
of holding a State Convention to do
away with slavery, brought the following
' letter to leading Administration Congress-
men from one of the most prominent
leaders in the free State movement in
Louisiana, and a native of Louisiana. Of
its statements I know nothing, beyond
the fact that the writer is a man of un
doubted character, veracity and position.
' I have no right to print his name, but it
is the duty of those officially interested,
to inquire into the facts. Special Dis
patch Mo. Dein.
, '. New Orleans, Jan. 9. Dear Sir: Pres
ident Lincoln has started a Missouri case
' in Louisiana, and has made Banks our
master; and Banks is another Schofield,
enly worse than him. Our mass-meeting
last night was a complete success, but its
object will be defeated by. Banks, who,
under the orders direct from the Presi
. dent, declares his purpose to order an
election for a convention, thus playing
into the hands of Coleman, Ruddle and
Field, and their crew. The Union men
ihe true Union men are thunder
struck by the course of the President in
this matter. We were not inforraedof
the President's orders to Banks until the
hour of the meeting last night, and the
meeting was not informed at all. Gen.
Shepley, who is generally liked, and who
has done all he could to promote the Free
. State cause, and to organize a Free State
. government, will resign, and the election
. ordered by Banks will be purely a mili
tary dictation, and will be so regarded. I
know cot the secret spring of all these
acts of the President and General Banks.
The President has probably been de
ceived by interested and base men. His
true friends and the friends of his meas
ures are much grieved by the course he
has authorized. It is certain that Gen.
Banks has the unshaken confidence of
Mr. Lincoln. Here he is regarded as
another Schofield, without the talent
of that officer. Is it not pes ible to get
the President to countermand his orders
lo Banks immediately, and let the people
manage matters as they have begun to
do?
From this it would appear that the
question has two sides, and that the peo
ple wish to settle question which the
President thinks already settled. If the
carrying out of bjs preclamation is look
ed npoa-by-tLe-i'iree State" leaders in the
South as a "military dictation," it will
make the final settlement a great deal
more difficult.
Our cpinicn is that the country in re-
. bellioa should be, as enough was acquired
from time to time, held by government
the tame as any unoccupied territory, and
set in working order under an organic
law, and then when the people in such
territory desire admission into the Union,
admit them only with a free State Con
stitution. . '
. The Secretary cf War has ordered the
. discontinuance cf the two dellars to cr
for the acceptance of recruits for volun
teer regiments. ...
The next Democratic National Con
vention will be held at Cincinnati.
The following Preamble and Joint
Resolutions .were passed unanimously in
both Houses of the Legislature en the
20ih. They were introduced by Hon.
T. M. Marquett, of Cass county, and are
but a just tribute to the heroic bravery cf
the gallant soldiers who have gone for
ward from Nebraska, to battle for Con
stitutional liberty, at the call of their
country:
Whereas. A wicked and uncalled for
rebellion now devastates a large portion
of our beloved land, threatening its very
existence. And
Wherea?, Our brave men have at
their country's call gone to fight her
battles and preserve the institutions of
cur Fathers; therefore be it
Resolved, By the Council and Houe
of Representatives cf the Territory of
Nebraska, that the thanks f the people
of this Territory. are due and are hereby
tendered, through their Legislative as
sembly, to the brave men who have gone
from our Territory to battle for -the pre
servation of our country. That we look
with pride and satisfaction upon the re
cord cur soldiers have made m:e the war
of the rebellion was inaugurated, and
that their unsurpassed bravery oa every
battle-field from Fort Donelscn, where
the blocd of the Nebraska First mingled
with the crimson tide of the bnve of
other States who rsc.cra.ted with their
lives the first victory of the war, down
to the heroic defence of Cape Giradeau,
where the sons of our Territory, almost
unaidfd, achieved one of the most bril
liant aud decisive victories that will adorn
the onaals of the present struggle, n
record which commands the cdmiration
of the world, and places us under a dbt
of gratitude to thote brave men which
we never can repay.
Resolved, That cur warm and earnest
sympathies are extended to the friends
and relatives of the gallant dead cf our
Territory who gave up their lives that
their country might live.
Resolved, That the Governor of the
Territory be requested to transmit a copy
of these Resolutions to General John M.
Thayer, and also a copy to Colonel Rob't
R. Livingston, to be by him communica
ted to the officers and soldiers under his
command ; and also a copy to Lieut Col.
M. T. Patrick to be communicated to the
officers and soldiers under his command.
This is a just tribute, but we are sorry
to notice that the gallant deeds and noble
bearing: of the Nebraska Second have
not won them a place in the remembrance,
of the people's representatives. Their
record is too plainly written on the scalps
of the treacherous savages who tLrcatpn
ed our frontier, and in history, to need
repetition on our part. Though their
service was to persue a savage enemy
over an uninhabited country, a thousand
miles from civilization, and succor in
case of defeat impossible ; and though
their connection with the rebellion is not
so conspicuous as that of the First Ne
braska ; yet, the hardships and privations
endured, and the fortitude and bravery
exhibited in defending the frontier, we
knowiedgment from Nebraska's Legisla
tor's. Legislative-

Siace tho horribly loss of life in the
earthquake at Mendoza, nothing has ap
proached in mourcfulness the spectacle
presented to-day by the magci.icent tap
ltal'of Chile. By the conflagration cf
the Jesuit church on the evening of the
8.1 inst, more than two thousand victims
wejft suddenly hurried into eternity, by
the u -t feariul of ali possible deaths,
thitt of fire. -
ft has been the custom for the past five
yeirs to ctlebrate the "mouth of Mary''
wuk great zeal and pomp, in the Church
ol the Compania or Jesuit Church, situ
ated at the ccrn?r cf the street of that L'
osine and Bandera street, and fronting
theplazaela of Compania. The curate
hvng organized a religious association,
known as ths "Daughters of Mary," has
htld ungual seivi;5 during said month;
-.viuiiig up upon the 8th with a grau-i
illumbation of the church and sermon in
the evening, at which ali ths members
were tarnestly entreated, to be present.
Tins year, determined to outshiae all
former exhibitions, he made arrange
ments; tu adorn'the church with garlands
of flowers, colossal statues, and with an
unprt:edented number of lights.
Th church was filled with the derout
all dc.j, and towards nightfall a contiau
ous sffecui of human beings, almost ex
clusively wemen, poured into the church
until very avenue was densely packed,
and the steps f the church and far out
into tie plaza were filled with a hu-hd
and Jneehnsr crowd.
Tie deors were all then closed, save
the ijain entrance, for the double purpose
of pitventing the confusion occasioned by
late torners'nnd cf making the vcice cf
the ireacher more distinctly heard. At
a lit le before seven, the assistants b
gan lighting-,. up the church and were
just taishing the grand ahar, the rest of j Saint Lawrence River via Lalco Clnm

thousands cf lamps, mast of them cf par-
afine oil. when from .a transparent eras-
r.pr.r. at the foot of the statue of the Vir
"in. burst forth a jet of tiame. The at
tendant endeavored to extinguish it with
his pencho, but the inflanuble liquid pen
etrated the fabric and only increased the
danger. In a moment the flames darted
up the garlands ef artificial flowers to
the roof, the immense cupola caught fire
and the lamps suspended from the roof
by strings dropped and explsded among
the densely packed mass of women kneel
ing beneath. Darting along the wooden
ceiling, already heated to the dryness of
tinder, the flames ran like hissing ser
pants the whole length of the church and
relied down in huge billows upon the
compact crowd that had instinctively
sought the main entrance. During the
first few moments of surprise and terror
shrieks of sorrow for th destruction of
their beloved church resounded '"through
the aihles of the building; but when
rushinn to the various outlets, all were
found closed, save one, and that one im
passable, loud screams of horror burst
from the .despairing multitude. For a
few moments the heart-piercing cries ef
perishing women were increasing: then
gradually grew fainter and faiiiter, and
soon an awful silence reigned within
that horrible furnace, broken only by the
angry roar of the flames, or the crashing
of falling tower3.

ordinary precautions against fire, or even
alarm, has been fearfully atoned. Of
the 3,000 persons within th pile, but
five or six hundred escaped, and most of
them wounded, scorched and baked.
The rest became wedged together, and
panting with heat, terror and pressure,
lost the ability to help themselves or se
cond the etfort3 of those who risked
their lives to save them. It was only by
almost superhuman effjrt3 that some few
were dragged from the tightly packed
mass of human beings at the tardily
opened cutlets; and of those few, a great
majority only lived a few hours.
The scena without the church was
heart-rending. The streets were filled
with the dead and dying, and hundreds
rushed frantically to ard fro, calling up
on the names of loved onf s; some knelt
in the streets to pray, some were carried
off by their friends, raving in their grief
while some distracted at the thought of
wife er child perishing, rushed franti
cally into the church and were seen no
.nore. Hundreds were taken to the
hospitals and to the neighboring houses.
All the physicians of the city were upou
the sp.'t, ministering to the injured. At
midnight the flunes, spent fur w?.nt of
material to feed upon, had lowered, and
by morning had entirely ceased. The
spectacle, by the glaring light of day,
was indescribably horrible. Tw thou

New York, Jan. 24. A Port Huason
Utter ef the 15th says:
The rebels are" concentraticj near
this strong held, and Baten Rouge, and
becoming quite 'enterprising. They
push their pickets close to our lines.
The rebel Gen. Adams has several
brigades distributed at WoodviHe.
Clinton Jackson and Gen. UUman,
took quite a number of prisoners to-day.
Most of them profes3 themselves sick cf
the war, and are glad to be taken. They
declare that they never heard cf the
President's Amnesty Proclamation.
The statement published in Northern
papers-some time since, of the capture
and imprisonment at Richmond of Gen.
Ulman, is entirely untrue. -
Gen. St. George Cooke, commanding
at Baton Ruuge, and Gen. Ulhnan have
sent out large detachments to try and cut
off some '.wo thousand rebels who are
making a stand about 15 miles east
Harrisburg, Ta., Jan. 23. Judge

full bench. Only two Judges desenting.
Baltimore, Jan. 23. The Richmond
Whig, .15th- sayo, Southern papers say
the apprehensive attack on Savannah is
a part of the enemy's programme on the
coast during the winter. This inferred
from certain movements at Heaiton
Head, which seems to indicate the con
centration of their forces for that pur
pose. Another reason for belief tha t it
would constitute base operations against
Charleston.
Baltimore, Jan. 23. In the Maryland
Legislature the House delegates yester
day passed a series of resolution endors
