Three important measures are now before the Federal Congress, the passage of which will of course occur, at they have been caucusaed upon by the Abolition leaders, that will invest Lincoln with a power more to be feared by those who may acknowledge his Government than that of an absolute monarch. These are, first, the bill giving him power to sun peod the writ of fiubcas corpus, wuich will give him full control of tho persons of all within his dominions ; second, the militia bill, which proposes to place under his control the whole militia force of the couutry and tho sword entirely under his Jbands ; and third, the finaucial scheme, which will give him the purse. We have .no doubt of the passage of all three pro positions before the final adjournment of the venal Congress now in session, whoso laga I existence closes on the 4th inst.? I They are the means by which the more nominal party expect to continue their power after they retire. With these grants Abolition legislation will be no longer nrffceasary, and conservative legis ilptipn will be a?nullity. Any act of the In it.a nf Ik.

The army, the nary, and the treasury, will be under the absolute and unlimi'ed control of Lincoln; he will have absolute power to force into hi* armies every man whom he pleases, and incarcerate in his basliles every one who presumes to differ with him, and freedom of speech and of the press can be restrained at pletsure, with at much facility aa can freedom of the person. Iii? people will then learn how much of their own liberty has been lost by their blindly aiding h.icp to secure that of the negro, and that, too, when it ia too late.?South Carolinian.

After a pretty thorough inspection of the ground in the rear of our line*, from Sloue'a river 10 the extreme left, I ride to tIto front, where the dead lie thick among the cedars, in the proportion of fire Van kees to one Southron. Here the sight* to sicken the bravest hearts, sad lesson* for human passion and oppression. Here is a foot, shot oft at the ankle, a fine model for a sculptor.

The SituationThere are rumors from the front to the effect that Kosencranz has been massing large reinforcements, just through from Iventucky, in the counties of Sumner and Wilson. If this he true, his intention is to advance, when the r.>ads permit, not j directly upon our forces ?t Shelbtvilfp, but upon Tul'ahoma by way of Manchester arid McMinnvillo. The troops sta tinned at Nashville will probably make a feint upon Shelbyville, but no absolute assault is expected from that side of the enemy's line, The entire strength of the army of tiie ; If l enemy,in ra urueesooro, it estimated at 60,000. On reliable reports from the Northern portion of the State, represent the reinforcements to consist of three di visions, each not less thi\n 10,000 strong. Thft division of Jeff. U. Davis, with John slot's cavalry, ttsiioned in Williamson County, are put down at 12,000.

Since writing our brief uotice two weeks : ago, of the fall of the Post, wherein we i expressed our conviction that the enemy would still never get control of this river, he has made no attempt whatever to do so. There has been binco his success at j tho Post, plenty of water fur hint to try | it, at least a portion of the way, and yet, ! when he has ascended White river with his gunboats and transports as high up as Des Aic, with the avowed purpose ol inarching upon this place actoas the country, lie has not thought propor to attempt the ascent of the Arkansas river. Perhaps lie 1ms some idea of the difiicul vi?-? niiuuuiug men mi enterprise. 1 lie navigation cf the river itself, with its nnr row channel, rapid current anJ thousands of snags, would aluno present many dan gers and difficulties, but lined an its banks have been, since the fall of the l'ost, by b?n. Walker's whole army, ho will have a sheet of fire to pass through that will neither bo safe or comfortable. No one (bought the 1'ost of Arkansas an impregnable place ; and but few deemed it any fortification whatever, to the river. It has served its purpose. The stout resistance there offered by three or four thousand btave men, to the force of t!ia enemy numbering about 30,000, *e conipatred by their gunboats, bat taught them a lesson thai they will not soon for get. They will be more wary in oncoun taring our whole army, composed ? of the nnniK mri <it ?ln(l I .,?> tiaiotfnl o Post* Our reliance is now, ns it has al wave been, upon the stout hearts and strong anna of our troops, placed in such position that they cannot be overpowered ill detail. They now occupy that position, at.d wo are confident that the ens uiy can never take the Arkansas river. By dint of luck nod desperate courage, if they poaaess it, they may get a few gunboats past our troops, hi they did at Vicksburg Inst summer, but that wdl avail thenl nothing. It will on'.y *ulj*ct them to the possibility of capture, whicli w ill not only be possible, but highly probable. We live on an uncertain river. It may be navigable for the largest sized boats one day, and in three days more down to low wafer innrk. We have every confidence in our Gen ends. General Walker, \\ho has cha-ge of the defences of the liver ladow l'me Bin!)', is known to be skillful, brave and energetic. The enemy that passes him will do it in a cripped condition. General Holmes we. nil know. Ilis heart is in the cause, and it is with us hero in Ar kansas. lie is a pure uiau and a patriot and will have no effort untried to drive an invrtding enemy from our soil. Our Governor has called for troops to serve in emergencies. We hope and we believe the call will be promptly answer ed. The people of Arkansas, notwithstanding the absence of so large n number of tliein ou the other side ot the Mis sistippi river, still possess both the until bers and ihe courage to oppose a success mi resistance to any Abolition f?>rce that C'.n he rent against lis. We have no feats of the re- jit. The liberation and salvatun of Arkansas, we regard a* cer tain. The fall of*the insignificant place like the I'ost may aflbrd grounds of com plaint to untrue men, but will only nerve the hrare to renewed and stouter efforts. There iuhj he a few in our midst who labor assiduously to impair the confidence of the soldiers in their officer*, and the confidence of the people iri both soldiers and officers, hut their numbers are small and their influence still smaller. They are not patriots, and do not wish our cause well. Let them go Open wide to the right and to the left, and let lh?m pass down to the inlsrnv t).e;r conduct merits.
