This fact bas been at length datentatiously paraded before the coustry by aome of his leading newspaper organs, with many reasons and arguments going to show that this bonefi- coat programme is the very thing demanded by the crisis, and that in thus winning the ap- probation and confidence of the loyal States President Lincoln bas become the choice of their people for the succession. : Thus challenged by this boastful feurish of trumpets, let us briefly examine this wonderful system of reorganization, whereby slavery is to be abolished with the readmission of the rebel- Hous, States, and the millennium of univer. sal emancipation is to dawn upon our Dnion restored. The amnesty proclamation, excluding from its benefits a numerous cata- Ipgue of rebel civil and military offenders which it is needless here to repeat, proposes to granta full pardon to all other persons con- cerned in the rebel States upon the simple con- dition of an oath by every such person to ‘sup- port and defend hereafter the federal constitu- tion and the Union of the States thereunder, and that “I will in like manner abide by and faithfully support all acts of Congress passed during the ‘existing rebellion with reference to AMUSEMENTS TO-MORROW EVENING.

So help me God.” Such is the individual oath which is to be the groundwork of the proposed system of recon- struction. Now we come to the superstructure itself. Thus proceeds the President to develop it. Hear him:—‘And I do further proclaim, declare and make known that whenever, in any of the States of Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Flo- rida, South Carolina and North Carolina, a number of persons not less than one-tenth in number of the votes cast in such States at the Presidential election of the year of our Lord 1860—each having taken the oath aforesaid, and not having since violated it, and being a qualified voter by the election law of the State existing immediately before the so-called act of secession, and excluding all others—shall re- establish a State government, which shall be republican, and in nowise dontravening said oath, such shall be recognized as the trae’ gov- ernment of the State, and the State shall re- ceive thereunder the benefit of the constitu- tional provision which declares that ‘the United States shall guarantee te every State in this Union a republican form of goverament, and shall protect each of them against invasion, and on application of the Legislature, or of the Executive when the Legislature cannot be con- vened, against domestic violence.’ ” Now, let us suppose that under this arrange- ment Arkansas, for instance, is readmitted into the Union. What follows? The State is imme- diately reinvested with all the State rights, powers and reservations which belong to the loyal States. Say that even one-fifth or one third of the voters of the State, under the oath prescribed, have achieved. this rehabilitation, what does it amount to? The authorities and | the people of the State may immediately pro- ceed, through another constitutignal conven- tion, to change their State constitution, and thus slavery may be fully re-established before the end of the year. Wendell Phillips thorough- ly comprehends this thing os a trick of the Presidential juggler. Mr. Lincoln makes sure work of the Presidential vote of any State or he may thus reclaim in season for the ber national election; but beyond that, within the States concerned, this crude and im- perfect system of restoration foreshadows noth- ing better than “confusion worse confounded” than ever before. There will be a rupture in the administration camps on this question. The genuine abolition elements of the party have no faith in these double-dealing theories of President Lincoln. From the day of his revocation of General Fremont’s Missouri emancipation edict they have learned to distrust Old Abe and to watch him, and bave been laboring to supplant him. If they still entertained any reservations in bis favor they were dismissed witb his settle- ment of the late Missouri muddle, and with the reading of this amnesty proclamation, and its pettifogging, flimsy and incoherent plan of recon- struction, Between the Lincoln trimmers and the uncompromising radicals of the republican party we may, theféfore, expect \wo parties and twod residential candidates as the results of the Republican National ConventSon.

The news from Kentucky tells of disaster toa small portion of the Union troops at Scottsville, in which a small part of the Forty-eighth Ken- tucky, numbering about ene hundred and fifty men, were compelled to surrender to the rebels, five hundred strong, under Colonel Hamilton. The rebel officer, contrary to an agreement with Cap- tain Gillam, the commander of the Union troops, destroyed the court house with, all the public doc- uments, and robbed several stores inthe town. Official despatches from General Foster yester- day report pretty fully and satisfactorily the pro- | ceedings of the rebel cavalry whose operations in the vicinity of Knoxville we noted yesterday. | Onur cavalry, under General Sturges, met them et | Fair Gardens, ten miles east of Senerville, and drove them back, after a fight which lasted from daylight until four o’clock in the afternoon, taking two of their rifled guns and one hundred prisoners. The enemy left sixty-five killed and wounded on the field after the charge of General McCook's division. An attack of the enemy, eix hundred strong, was made on Athens, Ala., on the 25th instant. We had only about one hundred mén there, but, according to the report, tke Union troops drove back the enemy after a fight of two hours, with the loss of twenty men. The rebels were also driven from Tanne) Hill fa Alabama by General Palmer. A company of their cavalry was captured, and thirty-two of tireir men wore killed and wounded. The news from the Potomac Army is entirely uu- important. A few guerilla raids of very little con- sequence are the only incidente which break the moaotony of the situation. We publish some very interesting newe to-day from New Orleans and the Gulf up to the 26th inst. Admiral Parragat bad arrived at New Orleans. Desertions from the enemy at Mobile were very large, many of them joining our fleet while lying of that port. Two of the Henatp cor- respondents, we are glad to say, are about to return from the hands of the Philistines. Mr. Gatchell has been exchanged and is now iv New Orleans. Mr. Finley Anderson, after o tedious captivity of nearly a year, will, it is said, be also released when the cartel for the exchange of pri- ‘oners in Texas, where Mr. Anderson wow is, can be arranged. ‘The rebel news relative to affairs at Charleston fe to the 26th instant.

MISCELLANEOUS WEWS. We are in possession of very important news from Mexico. Andther revolution had broken out in the city of Matamoros, resulting in thie over- throw of the existing authorities and the establish- ment of Cortinas in the supreme, though doubtless temporary power. Governor Ruiz and bis princi- pal officers had been compelled to fice for protec: tion to the federal camps, and there they were, at fast accounts, in a state of safety. The deaths of both Cardenas and Lopes are reported, as well ag another hegira of the hunted Juarez, The detailed eccount of our correspondent is highly interesting. A stay of proceedings was granted inthe case of Joho B. Holmes yesterday, by Judge Leonard, of the Coart of Oyer and Terminer, and the case wil) Bow come up for argument before the Supreme Ooart, general term. Thero will be no Hamburg steamship from Ham burg and Southampton of January 26, in conse- quence of the ice in the river Elbe. The first Peoamer due from those porte is the Hammonia, silence of the New York Tribune in regard to the claims of Honest Old Abe is ominous of impending thief. What, then, are we to do to aveid the excite- scrub race? Let the friends of General Grant— and “their same is legion”—pusb forward his claims upon the country, aad let them cause it to be understood, as in the case of old Zach. Taylor, that he will be run and actively sup- ported as a Presidential candidate; and, should the Republican Convention fail to perceive its true policy, the Democratic Convention, in the name of General Grant, will have the power to achieve the greatest political victory and the most glorious political revolution in the history of the United States. pootion would be one of the most monstrous anomalios of the age: Civilization itself, it agent of man's progress marches og La triumph to tho farthest limita of the earth’s ompire. of railroad communication between their pria- In all largely populated, thriving and im- portant communities, as well in Eurepe es in America, a perfect cordoa of railway commu- nications has long been considered a prime noceasity.

And yet, as far ag practical truth and fairness are concerned, there is nothing ta those pretensions except fraud and deceit. In Europe we aoe an exactly opposite view of the picture. There tho ruling powers virtually atart by vitiating all popular rights and priviloges, affecting to treat the people aa if thoy could not oxigs without the aupervision of competent masters. But this is only a theo- retical rule. Whilo impressing the masses with this idea tho administrators of public works and of goverameat carry out practical thoughts which realiy greatly benefit the peoplo. Ia Franco we do not hear the constant ory of “the public good;” but when we look around us we see indubitable proofs that that is truly tho first thiag considered. This is simply the difter- ence between practice and proaching. Without the @ormer the Latter is rarely of any avail; and we think it is high time that we in New York should have some practical things done and a good deal less talk about it. Let us glance fora moment at our railtoad system. Asa whole there is much that is good in it; but dissected and divided, as these cor- porations should be, we acarcely kaow which abuse first requires correction. Leaving other railroads out of the question for the present, we will take the case of that between New York and Philadelphia—the two largest cities of the Union—one of thom having all the North- ero and the other ali the Southern cities in their rear. Not far from Philadelphia stands the national capital itself, with a vigorous and ungcrupulous foe in the fieid that has more than once threatened its safety. Railway com- munication on such a line as this isof the first importance. Yet, though this road has beca established for ne&rly thirty years, there is at the present moment bunt a single track between the two cities first named. How it is that accidents do not more frequently occur we canscarcely understand. But the truth is that it is imminently dangerous to travel on any such railroad line for the reasons we have assigned. At several points on the road there are certainly what are called “cut-offs,” or short branches of track®running for a short way, intended merely to keep one line of cars out of the way of the other when the arrival of one or the other is expected. A double line of rails, commonly known a3 a double track, would remedy the evil at once. Ifa train from New York was on its way to Philadelphia, and an accident should occur to the cars from the latter city to the former, the result would naturally be the detention of both trains, and the consequent annoyance, if not serious loss, of the passengers who are compell- ed to travel on the road. Within the past few weeks there have been several accidents brought to our attention, which, but for the dis- graceful management of the line, could never have occurred. We well remember that a few years ago the through trip from New York to Philade)phia—a distance of not much over nine- ty miles—used to be accomplished in three hours. Business was not then pouring in upon the company witb such rapidity as it now does. They could therefore at that time afford to consider the interests and claims of the public, and do something to facilitate their convenience in travelling, Now, from the vast increase of business, and the constant influx of paesen- gers and transportation on the road, stoppages are made so frequently, at every petty place on the route that, instead of a through trip lasting. three hours, it is more likely to be extended to five or six. Thus, instead of the success of the company or of the owners of the line tending to increase public facilities and the convenience of the people, the public are actually made to suffer for their generosity in patronizing the road, while the managers of the line still cry out, “pro bono publico.” Another advantage to be secured by this and most of our other railway ‘corporations will be found in the establishment of regular telegraphic lines from station to station, so that the departure of'a train from one point may be promptly announced to the point next ahead. In France and in England these ar- rangements are perfect, and it therefore results that accidents from eollisions are not so fre- quent there. This is a decided advantage in favor of Europe. Our plan in this+ country hitherto has been to send important informa- tion of accidents on the route by men on horse- back; but this isa system open to grave ob- jections—one, in fact, only worthy of the days of the old atyle of stage coaches, Every sta- tiop along a line shoujd be in constant soned- tion ag communication by ieans of the tele- Btaph, The advantage may be secured # very slight expense, and there is no reason why it should not he. With the adoption of these {deas, especially that concerning the laying down of @ double track on the road, the New York and Philadelphia line’ would s00n become a most valuable one, and even far more profitable than it is at present, It would also be necessary to lay down some decisive and unchangeable time table, so that travellers might not travel in the dark, but know what they were to expect; and thus the company, in- stead of losing every day in popular favor, would soon regain the esteem and admiration of the public, double thetr profits and be- come more usofal thea they have ever been before, ss (in other valleys among “the ‘Virgials | Warnings of Danger from Hast Temnes- aad ore Our. despatohes of the lest day er two from East Tennessee abow that the rebels are unusually active im that quarter, and evidently intend te recapture Knoxville, it thoy oan, without toss of time.

The numerous detachments of rebels, infantry end cavalry, which a short time ago were ops- rating fn the ‘Ghenandoak valley end tion to the protection ef the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad: and Herper’s Forry,. they have probably pushed on to a junction with Long: atreot. By these-and other reinforcements. it may be that Longatreet’s oolumn of twenty thousand men when sent out by Bragg has been enlarged into a powerful army of fifty thou- gand men, Why not? Wo may safely asaume that Joff. Davia is pretty well posted touching the present situa- tion of things and the advantages whioh invite him to immediate action in Enat Teunesses. He knows, at alf evonts, that without East Tennessee his confederacy is gone, and that all hopes of recovering this important ground may be dismissed if the task shall bo delayed till tho return of spring. The wintry obstacles of rains and snows, and miry reads and swollen streams, may be overcome by Longastreet’s half clad and half starved soldiers, with the proapect before them of plentiful supplies of provisions and clothing with the strprise and capture of Knoxville. Nor have we any reason to doubt that this daring enter- prise isthe main object of all. these predatory operations of the enemy in Virginia, East Ten- nessee and Northern Alabama. Desperate cases call for desperate measures, and thus it is possible that a greater concentration of the enemy may be impending over General Foster than that which stopped the advance of Bose- crans into Georgia. From Washington and from Tennessee we have no Jack of reports ot the demoralization of the rebel armios and the desertions of their soldiers. We would admonish the administra- tion, however, that we have paid somewhat too dearly for its credulity heretofore in regard to such reports to justify any want of vigilance or preparation at this crisis, in view of a sudden assault by the enemy, East or West. Let us have no more sleeping or slumbering over onr -grent successes, under the pleasing delusion that the rebellion is ended; for we apprehend that the hardest fighting of the war is before us, and that the enemy will open the ball. Tue CeLeararron ov Saaxspere’s Birtapay.— The three hundredth anniversary of Shak- spere’s: birthday is to be celebrated in Apri! next at his birthplace. Only a short time ago there was so much indifference to Shakspere at this same town of Avon that they were about to pull down the house in which he was born, and clear it away as 60 much rubbish, and that illustrious gentleman, the Count Joanaes, then in England, proposed to buy it and send it across the Atlantic. Now all England is about to indulge in a Shaksperian revival, have a grand Shaksperian spree at Avon, and build & monument. What needs my Shakspere for his honored bone: ? Not carved brass nor monumental stones. And yet England does well to make the most of Shakspere. He is the one Englishman that all mankind, without respect to nationality, can admire and love. Four years ago the hundredth anniversary of Burns’ birthday was celebrated over the whole world, though, of course, prinei- pally by Burns’ countrymen, since the author of Tam O'Shanter is, through ani through, na- tional poet. But in a world-wide celebration of Shakspere’s birthday an idea of nationality would hardly occur except to the Chinese. He isas much the poet of the human race as Homer. He sympathized with all conditions, and apeaks for “all death’s kinds of men.” He is as grandly simple, though not so sombre, as Dante. He has more chivalry than Boyardo and Tasso together. Hehas more brilliancy than all the French poets, all of whom, except Beranger, were ambitious only to shine, and polished themselves away. He is more acute than Mo- liere, and faller of “divine unreality” than all the Germans. For the birthday celebration of such a man men from every nation in the world might be grouped together and feel at ease. Shakspere is probably nowhere else played or read to the same extent that he is in this country. His works are a household volume. He is the common favorite of all our people, from A. Lincoln to the urchins that “thunder at playhouse and fight for bitten apples.” He has more phrases that patly fit our American ideas than any American writer, from Philip Frenau to Whittier. We hope, therefore, that the tercentenary celebration will be properly taken up here. ‘ We ate so many separate nations that we have @ difficulty about great men. Pennsylva- nia will believe in no one but the great non- combatant, William Penn; Massachusetts goes for Franklin, and Vermont will never admire any one but Ethan Allen; Virginie will build | monuments to Thomas Jefferson, Tennessee to | Andrew Jackson, and South Carolina to John Q, Oalhoun; and, though we have bought Washington’s homestead, it would be very diff- it to get the country to unite in admira- of any other one American—unless it be General Grant; but we can oll unite in our admiration of Shakepere, and we ought to de Sronerary Werit9 aNd His Boat Ract.—Sed- retary Welles, throagh his deputy, Mr. Fox, appeals to the public to raise the necessary funds for the boat race he is bo anxious to undertake. The owner of the steamer against which the Secretary wants to ran the Eutaw domands twelve thousand dollars down, and three hundred dollars @ day for every day’s detention after a certain period. Not a cent of this money ought to be subscribed by the public, and if Secretary Welles dares to divert the speed of eur naval vessels is toque thers against the rebol privateors. This ho hasdone, and all his vessels have been beaten.
