THE NEWS.
From the promise of the debate in Con
gress yesterday, the new State of West
Virginia will he one of the sisterhood, and
thus end a local (jUarrel in that State, of
many years duration. The Old Dominion
as shortly to he no more.
The news from our armies in the field is
more stirring this morning. From the
Rappahannock, nothing hut continued
Trailing, yet something underlies the -vcni
ing quiet. -It will shortly anrear that
Ranks has landed.
Emm Arkansas we hare news of a
Splendid little viVoay, hy Gen. Herron
over the butternuts, in which I.T3CK) rebels
bit the dust. Fayetteville, near which the
action occurred, is in 'Washington county,
in the northwestern part of the Stated
about forty miles south of the old field of
Rea Ridge. We have as yet no details of
particulars of losses to our own regiments.
In Gen. Grant's command, Col. Dickey’s
fith Illinois Cayaliy hare had a skirmish
With the rebels, near Oxford, Miss., with a
list of casualties, as elsewhere reported.
The news hy the Arabia is unimportant.
Hing is the victor over Mace in the great
jirize fight. The Atlantic Telegraph Com
3>any exhibit fresh signs of vitality. The
relief for the Lancashire weavers is increas
ing handsomely, and the share of Ameri
cans in the movement should touch the
heart of John Hull with some compunc
tions of shame.
Kentucky mllitaiy negro hunting is
about at an end, if the fktc of Col. Henry
Tjc of anj-eflecliveness as a warning, lie
Stands dismissed tbe Federal service for
liis infamous order in defiance of tlie pre-
Tious orders from the "War Department
and the President touching the rendition
of fugitive blacks. Let us hope that other
licr.ds arc to fall. The President means to
liurt the rebels and does not mean that
Kentucky bogus loyalty shall stand in his
Kay.
PRECEPT .IAS PRACTICE.
Don’t abuse our generals!” is the ciy
Whenever a Republican paper ventures to
aoubt the infallibility of any. pair of shoul
der straps. See how the critics live to
Their own rule. The secession organ of
this city, yesterday morning abused Gen.
Panics like a pickpocket—its fire in rear
as the General starts South; abused Gen,
Hamilton of Terms, who goes with him;
abused Undock, the general-in-chief, as
incompetent abused Gen. Pope as a liar;
abused thePresldent asPo; ie’s endorser: and
abased Gen. Bulk-r, at Kew Orleans, as a
hated tyrant. The objects of its commend
ation were the late Mr. McClellan and his
Satellite, Yhz John Porter, now under trial
by a court martial, for betraying big trust
and insuring the defeat of
army! “ Don t abuse our generals!"’

MK. DAVIS’ PIiAIf,
Garrett Davis of Kentucky is one of the
precious crctf of patriots who believe in
the Constitution us a fetter for freemen,
ami a shelter for nigger drivers. They
howl for “ Constitution as it was” when
ever they see any tendency to harm the
rel *ls, but they freely plot to alter the Con
stitution to serve the ends of the traitors.
Thus the Peace Congress was ready to
jnake any concession, and introduce any
enormity into the Constitution in behalf of
the rebels. The passion has again seized
them. The Kentucky Senator's list
Scheme is one which shall a farther re
move the choice of the President from the
Bee will of the people. It isan attempt to
inaugurate the rule of the minority, now
that majorities begin to tell against the
Slave power.
Mr. Da-vis offeree! a joint resolution, pro
j»oslng certain umcmlinenGs to tlie Consti
tution, to alter the mode of electing Presi
dent and Vice-President; that the Presi
dent and Vice-President he elected in the
following manner ;
Each State mar, within thirty days next before
the time appointed for tin* election of President, in
nay modcadoptedbyrhe State. nominate to Cou
cicssonc candidate: ami on the first Monday of
•Pcbrttary nest before the expiration of each Presi
dential term, the two Houses of Congnss shall
meet together as a convention in the hall of the
House of Bcprcbentatives. and a n xbe candidates
nominated by the States within the preceding thir
ty days, not cscrcamg one from each State, whose
moimnation shall have been authenticated toCon-
f trees, shall be before said convention a« candidates
Or the Presiucncy; and thereupon said convention
»hall proceed, under the supervision of
the presiding officers of the two Houses
to vote-, by open balloLfor anypersons amone aaid
candidates for Congress: and when any one shall
Jiave received a nmnher of votes equal to fa major
ity of] all the members elected and appointed to
lioth houses of Congress, he shall be declared, by
the President of the Senate, to be elected Presi
dent of the United States.
In all cases where balloting shall have continued
5n this mode through five days, and no election
Shall have been effected, on the sixth day it *b«i|
2>e resumed, and. idler each ballot, the officers pre
siding shall drop th c can di date who has recei vedthc
smallest number of votes, or two or more candidates
who have received an equal number of votes and less
than all the others; and the balloting shall be so
continued among the remaining can didates un
til one shall receive the majority aforesaid,
and thereupon the President of the Senate
Ehall announce him be elected President of
the United States. The convention shallthen
proceed in the same manner, from among the
remaining candidates, to elect a Vice Presi
dent of the United States. Whenever it may
occur, m the voting for President or Vice
President, that all the candidates bnt two have
t>ecn dropped, balloting between them may, if
necessary to make rs, election, continue two
days longer, and, if then no candidate
Lave received the required number of votes
the officers presiding over the convention
ehall report the state of facts to the Snnr<>niP
’ Court of the United States, and it shall pro
nounce which of the two candidates shall fill
the office. The resolution ordered to be

they killed them (the whites,) her relations

some 1,200 lodges in the vicinity in addition

Among the Indians was found a Miss Price

herself, were held as prisoners. These were
all the captives that she knew of; although

the timbres for ponies, hut refused to Bell
them for anything else, and as Mr. Guinea's
parly had no pomes, they were compelled to
leave them. The captives were very anxious
to be released, and Miss Price prayed the

Preparation of ilio Slaveholder!? for

[Correspondence* of the Xevr York Tribune.]
Alton, EL, Nov. 3 ISC2.
The slaveholders of Arkansas and Tcmies
>cc are making a wise preparation for the
omancipaijun of ilit-ir slaves under the Presi
aml * Proclamation. Before leaving ilelona
a few wt <-ks ago. I learned the Cicl thal many
of iho slave holders of that region had already
entered into a contract witlTtheir slaves to
remain on the plantations, v.tchr iragts. They
have come to the conclusion 1 hat the negroes
arc suite ns necessary to them as they are to
the negroes. As laborers they are essential
to the South, and no class will be more op
posed to their colonization In a foreign conn*

Ihe hatred of the negro at the South is far
k-ns prevalent lhau in the Northern States
familiar association -with them their m-vs

strong-atlaciunents between them and the su

t«-geiLcr, Idaek nurses have carried the while
children in then-arms, andkissed and frolicked
with them during their tender years, so that
tue prejudice against the complexion of the
negroes at the South scarcely exists. With
i i;ejsontheni people it is simply a prejudice
against their becoming fire. They want the
slave’s labor without paying for it; they want

‘H.2OU
1 have conversed with several slaveholders
on this subject, and after brushing away the
cobweb? of prejudice that surround the sub
jeet. and gettlngat the root of the matter,
they confess that this is the course likely to
be taken, and that thev arc bigimilugto make
preparation for it.
On the steamer from Memphis to Cairo I
icamcd from a Mr. Aiken, a cotton planter
from Tennessee, that the President's proba
tion is expected to go into effect on the first
of January, and that be and several of hi<
neighbors had already bad a talk with their
•naves, and agreed witli them that they are to
remain as hired servant? and receive wa r es.
Mr. Aiken said to me: “Sif, wc are attach
ed to our slaves. Some of them have watched
over us in our infancy; some of them have
proved their fidelity to us under trying cir
cumstances: as a whole,thev are nccessr.rvto
lisas laborers; they arc acquainted with‘the
cultivation of cotton, our staple crop, aud we
prefer them to any new set of laborers that
ivr are likely to get.**
l*e continued: “Wc have talked the matter
with our slaves, and said to them, ‘ on the Ist
--1* January we expect you will all receive
your freedom by the proclamation of the
President, but we want yon should not leave
us. Jn the meantime, let no one run away.
Slay at home, and continue at your work, aiid
we will do justly by you. You skill have fair
wages, and by remaining together you will be
better off and far happier.* ’ T
Mr. Aiken said that his slaves had taken his
advice, and not one of them could be enticed
away from him. He gave an interesting ac
count of the fidelity of one of his negro men
who had assisted him, with pistol in hand to
defend a wagon load of cotton they were tak
ing to Memphis, from three cotton-burners
whom they met on the way. “ That
said he, “was brought up with me from’a
boy, and I would trust him to go to St Louis
or Chicago with uncounted gold, aud he
would return safely to me.” ° *
Opposite Helena, on the Mississippi side of
the nver, there was a large plantation belong
ing to the estate of a deceased Col. Trotter
On the arrival of the Union army, the slave**
fifty in Dumber, wore captured by a
party and brought to Helena. There thev rc
mamed till a few weeks ago. when the widow
of Col. Trotter came all the way from Colum
bia, Middle Tennessee, aud persuaded the
most of them to return with her, promising
them that they should have their freedom the
first of next January, under the President's
proclamation, and pleading with them tliat
?he wished them to live with her at Columbia
as hired servants, and that the old slave fiuni
iliee should not be broken. The women and
children ail went with her, and most of the
men. Only a few remained behind.
Such are the methods by which the great
problem of emancipation will be solved
throughout the South. Nature and Provi
dence are wiser than thepoliticians. Thcself
mterest of mankind, and the interests of the
human heart are more to be relied on than the
political economists of the time. The email

Washington correspondence, with many cir

a story to the effect that commissioners had
arrived in Washington from the rebel States

compromise, We feel au -horized to say that
the statement, of this correspondent is utterly

come within the lines, instead of visiting the

General Herron’s forces cn route to rein

Crawford Prairie ten miles south of Fayette
ville, Arkansas, and won a decisive victory
oyer them. The enemy wore 24,000 strong,
divided in four divisions under Generals Par
sons, Marmadnke, Frost, and Rains, all under
Gen. Hindman, and embraced the flower of
the trans-Mississippi army well supported by
eighteen pieces of artillery. The enemy flank
; cd Blunt's position at Cave Hill and made
a sudden dash on Herron to prevent him uni

of the 04th and S7th Illinois. 19th and 20th
lowa. 2Gih Indiana, 20ih Wisconsin, and n
battalion or two of in all from G,500
to 7,000 men and twenty-four pieces of artil
lery. The battle raged from 10 o'clock in the
forenoon till dark and was desperately fought
throughout. Our artillery drove the enemy
from two strong positions, and kept their
overwhelming numbers at bay.
The 20th Wisconsin captured a rebel bat
leryof four heavy guns, but were forced to
abandon them undcra murderous fire. The
llttb lowa also took the same battery and
fought most desperately, but were also oblig
ed to yield it.
Almost every regiment distinguished itself
About 4 o’clock Gen. Blunt arrived from Cave
Hill with 5,000 men, and a strong force of ar
tillery and attacked the enemy in the rear. ;
The rebels made desperate efforts to capture
his batteries, but were repulsed with terrible
slaughter. We held the whole field at dark,
and before 9 o’clock that night the entire
rebel force were in full retreat over Boston
mountains. Our loss in killed and wounded is
000; that of the rebels 1,500, by their own ad
mission. Several of the enemy’s field officers
were killed, smiong them Col. Stein, com
mending a brigade, formerly a brigadier of
the Missouri Stale guard. Only a few prison
ers were taken. We captured four caissons
tilled with ammunition. Lieutenant Colonel
McFavlan, of the 19} blown.was the only field
officer killed on our side. Major Hubbard,

on the right bank of Horse Creek, having by
a circuitous route avoided the rebel
ilk-huts. The rebels were resting in fancied
security cooking dinner, when Cant. Parke

wind they rushed upon the foe. The startled
i chds -plunged promiscuously into the creek
and climbed a steep bluff on the opposite
hank, leaving behind them eighty-seven
horses, arms, blankets and a large quantity of
mninniiilion ami camp equipage. Several of
the rebels were killed and wounded. Four
were made prisoners. The depth of the creek,
steepness of the bluffs and thickness of the
brush prevented pursuit by cavalry. Only
one or two of Capt. Parke's command were

RADICAL BESOimOAS BY MR. COraVAY,
WESTERN MEDICAL EXAMINERS
[Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribane.]
Washington, December 9,15C3-S p. in.
Mhj. Gen. Wool is in town relieved from
duty in Baltimore by the arrival of Maj. Gen.
Schenck.and is ready for an assignment to any
more active service which the government
may have for him. Sehenck entered upon his
new duties this morning.
Lieut Col. Mnssey of Cincinnati, of the
Board of Army Medical Inspectors, starts the
last of this week for Newbern and Hilton
Head, on a medical inspection tour.
McClellan Is in town to give his evidence in
the Porter and McDowell No special
attention is paid to him.
The statement that the original manuscript
of Washington’s will had been stolen from
Fairfax Court House and sold to a museumin
Great Britain, is authoritatively contradicted
in a statement from a citizen of Fairfax, pub
lished here in the morning papers.
A series of very .radical resolutions will be
introdneed to-morrow by Conway of Kansas,
setting forth that the restoration of the Union
as it was is a calamity to he most earnestly
avoided; that the rebel States have so far ef
fected a revolution as to have lost their char
acter as States of the Union; that the war
should be prosecuted toeffeetthe subjugation
of their territory, and that the territory should
then be governed as the Northwestern Terri
tory was under the ordinance of 17i7;
that there is great reason to doubt
whether the rebellion can he suppressed un
til another President Is elected, and that,
therefore, unless a few months should bring
complete triumph to our arms, hostilities
ought to cease. The resolutions will have a
few but earnest supporters, and will not fail
to produce a sensation.

[Special Dispatch tothe Chicago Tribune.]
The Senate devoted the whole of to-day to
the subject of arbitrary arrests. The debate
developed a decided feeling on the part of
prominent Republicans against the mode in
which the power of arresting has often been
exercised. Messrs. Trumbull and Sherman
both expressed this sentiment.
The following is a synopsis of Mr. Sher
man’s speech, which gives a luir idea of what
is destined to be of so much political impor
tance this session. Mr. Sherman said JUc
feared that .he Senate, in its hatred of traitors,
was about to commit au injustice. This was
a resolution of inquiry. The Senators from
Delaware desire to ascertain why two of their
constituents are detained in military prison.
They assert-that these citizens are lova], and
arc denied boil and hearing 0 f the accusation
at a 1 rial.
They wish to ash the Secretary of War the
cause of this detention. Shall we refuse this
inquiry? H is the Constitutional duty of the
President to give Congress information of the
slate of the country. We call for this daily.
We and those wc represent have a right to
know all the acts of the Executive, that affect
any of our people. It is in this way only, that
the people can know the action of the Execu
tive and the reasons for it. Shall we, the
friends of the President, refuse this informa
tion upon a question of affecting the right of
personal liberty? If the facts justify the ar
rests the facts can do no harm. If they do
not wc should not veil them with sccrcsy.
These arrests have deeply affected public
minds. In his opinion, the President had a
right to make the arrests. The Constitution
provides that the writ of habeas corpus mav
be suspended in eases of rebellion or inva
sion.
Gentlemen differ as to whether this is a leg
islative or executive power. He believed it
was a legislative power, and stated at some
length his reason. This dispute was no longer
materiel. The President exorcised the power
and Congress had by legislation sanctioned his
acts. Both Congress and President agree in
suspending the writ, and the President must
determine the particular cases. It is a dan
gerous and alarming power. Every free peo
ple is jealous of it.
Public safety endangered by rebellion or
invasion alone justifies it. Every case of its
exercise should be so clear that* evciy loyal
man would feel that the man should be ar
rested. He believed that when the ficts of
these arrests were known nearly all would be
justified. Those who defend the President
should know the facts. He justified the
Maryland arrests as demanded by the clear
est necessity. The other cases and some of
those in Ohio were not demanded by public
safety. They were traitors and lunatics whose
arrest had injured the administration and
made political martyrs of dema
gogues. The chief complaint was
that those men were arrested for treasonable
practices, and yet were discharged without
trial or punishment. Jfproperty arrested, the y
were not property discharged. No effort had
been made to punish them by the Courts.
The subject was ofsuchvital interest that Con
gress should at once regulate these arrests,
and prescribe some mode of trial and punish
ment. "While preserving the Republic they
must maintain personal liberty. They could
not afford to make trifling arrests without a
prompt trial. Sympathy would be expected
for the accused, and thus the people would be
divided and embittered, when the united
strength of all the loyal people was needed
against the enemy. If they dealt frankly, he
did not fear but that the President would be
sustained in making such arrests and impris
onments as were really demanded by public
safety.
A meeting of the Indiana delegation was
held to-night to consider what steps should
be taken, if any, to urge the claim of Indiana
to the snccessorship to Smith in the Interior
Department.
The House debated the admission of West
ern Virginia to-day from 12 to 5 o'clock. Con
way ofKansas led off in a compactlogical argu
ment from an ultra radical standpoint against
such admission. Schuyler Colfiis made one
of his happiest efforts in response, covering
the whole ground in the briefest possible
space, and delighting the Western Virginia
leaders, who declared it by far the best pre
sentation of their case yet given to the public.
Mr. Crittenden opposed the admission
warmly, and Horace Maynard more warmly
favored it The question will be decided to
morrow, and even leading opponents ac
knowledge that West Virginia wißJbe admitted
by a handsome majority.
Campbell of tbe 'Wheeling InicUigencer , and
other Western Virginia loyalists, are here urg

ries, the Slate Government now in operation
at Wheeling, is the Government of the whole
State of Virginia. When the new State is ad
mitted, the old Government of course belongs
only to the eastern part of the State. The
President has been promised, therefore, thsit

December B—lo a. m. j
Owing to the greatly diminished length,
breadth and width of camp fires night before
last, the impression is prevalent that the ene
my has fallen back to a new position, some
distance to the rear of their former line.
The immense volumes of smoke seen last
evening on the opposite side, above the hills
overlooking Fredericksburg, and which
seemed to extend for miles in a western and
northwestern direction, demonstrated that
the presumed retrograde movement, if made
at all. was made only to brlngthem under bet
ter shelter.
The apparent fact of the continuedprcsence
of the great body of the rebel army in front
of our right grand division can be but grati
fying to Burnside, for reasons that will be de

It is presumed Stonewall Jackson, with his

The resolution offered by Mr. SAULSBURY
relative to the arbitrary arrest of citizen- of
Delaware was taken up.
Mr. HALE said the Senator from Delaware
(Bayard) yesterday referred to a proper divis
ion « if power as being the hope of a free g.. v
ernment, and he (Hale) was not willing to see
the Senate interfere with other departmem?
If any citizen of Delaware had been agrieved*
the courts were still open. He believed the
writ of halt ns roipxs was not dead yet. He
acknowledged that this was an embarraWu<>-
question. _ 0
Mr. BAYARD said there wa* no such divis*
ion of government power. The judiciary wa?
nhr.ivs tile weakest. Tile President has
scried tlu right to suspend the writ of
ixo'pKs. and he thought it proper for the Sen
ate to inquire into the matter.
Mr. WILSON, of Mass, said, doubtless ev
erybody regretted the necessity of making
these arrests in this country. The- President
regretted it as much as anvbodv. He did not
think any loyal man could charge the Presi
dent with wantonly violating the right of eiti
zens. Fora longtime two leading traitor?
sat here, but no arrests were made. When
they were commenced they were nece?sarv
and the first arrest was for selling gun caps to
the enemy. He, for ouc, thanked the Presi
dent for making these arrests. It was a pow
erful means of preserving the Government
and he hoped the President and his advisors
would not shrink from arresting auv man
who shows any probable cause of behv In
league wit lithe rebels. There was never a
rebellion where as much consideration had
been shown, and so much liumanilY for trai
lerl.
Mr. SALLSBURY did not doubt but there
were arrests made which were justifiable; but
these men were citizens of Delaware, who?c
.loyalty had never been, questioned.
Tlu- resolution to lay on the fable was di?a
--°/ 3 y° as to 40 bovs.
Mr. BAYARD spoke at some length, savmo
the power to suspend the writ of 7/*»dra«' <-or
pus was not an executive act. If this was ad
mitted, and the legi?lative power had uo
right to inquire, tlien the President
imprison men to torture them, or do*a?
lie pleased with them.
Mr. SHERMAN favored the adoption of all
•Lose resolutions of inquire which were off-r
--ed in good faith. He,believed the right to
suspend the writ of habeas corpus was purely
a legislative power and It could
only he done by Congress, but
since the legislation of the last Congress
the President has had the powergivento him
He thought many of these arrests were great
mistakes, and every arrest ought to be report
ed to Congress, and the reasons for it. If this
power was unlimited, the Government would
become oppressive. The people have been
exasperated at the manner of thesa arrert*
and discharges, and it was due to the country
and justice that no man should be arrested for
light cause, and that the cause and charges
should he properly explained, and Congress
had a perfect right to call for all information
that they may go before the people, and be
able to explain and defend these arrests.
Mr. said that as he could not
see any practical benefit to be attained in
passing these resolutions, he was inclined to
vote against them. He thought these arrests
had been unfortunate and impolitic. Judges
and courts and commentators have held that
the writ of habeas corpus was a legislative
power. It is not from any sympathy with
unitors that there is great feeling upon thi*
point, but because it is feared this is an exer
cise of an unnecessary and arbitrary power
and he would sav to his friend Wilson who
gloried in these arrests, that there was very
great danger in them. There was a bill now
here from'the House relative to This very sub
ject, and he was in favor of acting upon that
as a practical measure.
Mr. POWELL said the President had no
right to make these arrest, or to susneud the
writ of habeas corpus. and doing so was usur
pation. He contended the people had decid
ed That these arrests should cease. Tho
recent elections showed this. %
Mr. WILSON claimed that no such question
was settled by the elections. The only thin"-
thing settled was the Republican party coulS
not raise men enough to send to the field to
whip southern traitors, and still have men
enough at.homc to vote down Northern Dem
crats, tbat*s all that was settled.
The discussion continued at length, pend
ing the question.
The Senate adjourned.
HOUSE.
Mr. CONWAY said he did not regard the
proposition as now presented, as having re
ceived the assent required by the Constitu
tion, Virginia was not a lawful State. He be
lieved it was the intention of the President to
encourage State organizations in all the seced
ed States, but placing the assumption of the
State !u the hands of a few individuals ap
pointed by the President, was flagrant and un
constitutional. The scheme was revolution
ami ought to be exposed t«» the reproba
tion of every loyal citizen. It would be an ut
ter perversion of our system. It would in ef
fect, concentrate all the power of the Govern
ment into the hands of the Executive.
Mr. BROWN, of Virginia, replied. aromin«»
the erection of the State of ‘Western Viren nil
was perfectly legal and Constitutional. That
portion of the Constitution in regard to
the addition of erection of new States had
been complied -with, and in this connection he
quoted as similar the preamble and act admit
ting Kentucky, which was formed from part
of Virginia. Precedents he insisted support

than half the connties of Virginia were not

Mr. BLAIR, ofYa., asked were not all the

Mr. BROWN—AII were expressly invited.
Mr. MALLORY—Although they were unit

they could not send Representatives to tt e

If they were disloyal they could have no voice
