EUGENE CITY, FIIUA3,Y 21, 1363. ki;ui:i. sciiK.tu: or coui'iionisi;. From the commencement, of the r !' I i in, tin Northern scccs.sionisis have tli.it tlicT w ill In; iittlu t' chits herished the hope out their fivorite hobby, mid compromise with traitors. In nil the Northern States thi riled sympathizers have constantly preached this treasonable doctrine. During tin; politicul canvas in 'rcgon hist spring, the secession candidates, Wit t, Milh r A; Co., went (ill over the State telling the pcoj I, how easy nnJ glorious it woul.l ho to compromise wiih our "Southern brethren." 'lhcy would meet these fanatical fire-enters, who had sworn tu destroy the Constitution unl the (!uvf rnmeiit, and who were desolating the. hind with the rava ges of wur, with the Constitution in one hand and an olive brnueh iu the. other ! and would do many other ridiculous things, to "conciliate- their erring brethren." Of course these nx-n knew that the rebels were in ft fighting humor then, ami would not accept a compromise, if they were allowed a blank paper m which 'o write their own terms, us they had positively declared. Then why have their Nor thern allies wasted so much time in advocating compromise, nt a time when they knew there con'd bo none. The answer is plain : They be lieved that the rebels would finally Iu whipped, completely conquered, and compelled to recog nizo the authority n the Government. Then, after their dear Southern brethren had failed to destroy the Government, they knew the chivalry would be quite willing to c-mpnriii'zc, in a man lier which would leave the Government to pay the debts whiih they had inc erred in their war against it ; secure ihein from confiscation, and all the just penalties of their treason; re'urn to tlnnu all the. slaves which they had scattered and driven away by tin ir own madness; and finally, set the chivalry up high and dry, making their defeat ft complete victory, and throwing the great' r portion of burdens on the Government Hnd the loyal people of the N..rlli. This i a. Thcniitiful idea, wi rihy of the lying, thieving, dough-face secession Democrats of the Ninth. Tlio shrewdest of them have labored ze.iloii .ly to impress the people with the id- a that it would bo a great thing to be able to induce the rebels to compromise, and they had no doubt that they would soon see the eiror of their w ays and "be ready to oomprorni -e. These traitors were sure that the rebels would bo subdued, and b sowing iho seeds of eoiiecs sion, or compromise, as they improperly term their scheme, they hope to snatch from the na tion the fruits of the victory so dearly bought, and give them to the rebels, thus scenting lor them by u master stroke of policy, wli.it thc had failed to gain on the. field of buttle. They dare not openly supp, rt the cause of rebellion in the North, because they would lose their h ii i dice with the people, but by advocating this pernicious humbug they are of greater crv ice to tho rebels than they eouid he. on the field of battle. This is the hope of ihi! reccs-a. im-ls all over the Nor' lint this time, that th-y will be able, ir. Congress, tograi.t all the rebels have been fight ing for, by forcing the Government to compro mise with, them after lhcy have been whipped. Tho English capitalist in the Hast have been buying tip "Ccnfedi rate" set ip, so linn is their belief that this scheme of making the I 'idled States assume tho debts of tin rebellion, wiil yet succeed. Such an event would double the value of '"Confederate" sc rip, and di prci i ate the United Statis Notes in like n i tion. These men nro worse than JilV Davis. Tl.iir hi heme, if carried nut, would be more fatal to the people AhJ tho Government of the I'nitcd Stales, than the success of his scheme of disunion, for it would bo practically recognizing the right oj rebellion, and paying all its di bts besides. a m;tti;k rito.n .uisyot ki.

The enemy advaneid 1:2 miles from Aim treesboro, yester day, wiili one brigade and six pit ccs of artilleiy on a forging expehtilion. They made a viger ous attack on our cavalry, shelling us back .1 short di-tance t i near Forrestvii le. Anderson's brigade ( rtuinitelv arrived, and we repulsed them wiih a loss ul':!0;ki:lcil and wounded, our loss small. Heavy skirmishing is now looked fr. I'liila le! hi i, Feb. 8. The steamer Princess lo'ial tiasadditiou.il pariiculars iu re gird to the Charleston a lair, showing couclu dvely that there is no truth fop the assumption ol the rebels that the blockade o Charleston was ever raised, by the departure of the blockading fleet, only two vessels out of ten having been obliged to leave. It appears, from the statement of all eye witness, that at day light the rebel iron clads were seen coming liom the direction of Stone Inlet toward the fleet, thus attacking the Merco dita first, and one rani struck her near the waters edge, kneeling her over. For some time there was firing of shot, one of which entered one of her boilers ami caused the death of three per mis, when Capt. Stillwagoti lowered boat, after tearing the plug out and allowing the water to enter. The Captain of tho ram asked, "Do you surrender Y' This was repeated three times ; Stillwagou answering at each inquiry; "I am in n sinking condition." The rebels answered, "If yon don't surrender we will blow you out of water; send your boat aboard." Tho boat that had been lowered then conveyed tho officer to the r bel ram, who asked to bo admitted on boatd. This was refused. "We are in sinking condition," was again reputed. Tho rebels re plied, '"You can't sink lower than the rails; wh can't take you on board." The of.ioer then gave his parole as demanded, atlJ retnrud. The rebels were sui cesstu' ly deceived ill re gard to the cond t on of tho Mir -cd ta. She lay in shod water, hence the reply t at she could not sink below the rails. The ram then steamed towards the Keystone State, sent a shot through her wheel house. In the meantime the gunboat Huusatohie engaged the other rebel ram driving her away. At O.J in the morning both rams lelt for Charleston. During the attack on our fleet the Princess lioyal succeeded ill escaping. Shu steamed to Port IJoyal with assistance of tlm Third Iv glueer of Mereedita, having only one of her boilers injured. She can be repaired in a dav. 'Hie Keystone State w as disabled, but was I towed to Port. IJoyal. The rebel statement that j the Federal tl-et had disappeared fiom Charles I ton is untrue, Irom the fiet th t our ves."ls re turned at dark.

The elements of rebellion are almost floating as it were, in the very atmosphere we breath.
