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.

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 Ironsides arrived the next
d iv to rc'ntiu'eo the blockalots.
