Hie January numher of Blackwood, in its letter from Poland, gives a most interesting and instructive twenty-four i hours is Volhy- nia. which is one of the provinces of that ill fated country now engaged In a spasmodic effort to throw off the yoke of Russian domination.' Tbe landed proprietary of the province are Poles; the peasantry being, in chief part, Puthenian. who have no svmpethy with the noMibr tnovsioeat against .Bnasia. and who, JthowgJb hy no ntraAS attached to the empire Of tbe Ctar. hare been" ess!? bribed or in duced by a prospect of plunder to side with the Emperor. These peasaaia have in many instances resisted every temptation, sod remained faithful to their masters. The Russian goveratuenf. by ..' way of aiding to put down the rebellion, seems ' to have resorted to s decree of confiscation of property of rebels not unlike ia ita provision tbe set of , on r federal Congress. Ia both cases tbe property of tbe revolted section ha been called upon for pecuniary contribution to aid in resto ring the authority of the general government, and, in -event of failure to respond (of which failure both the United States sad Bussis bsd from theaeceeaitie of the esse, foreknowledge) : then prompt sale of th property at auction to slaves or peasant, a the ease may be.

These sales ere expressly arranged for tn benefit of the peasantry; one of my friemla for instance, who ia a Calic-iaa, an well a Volhyuian, proprietor, w called upon to pay to the Rnerian gwvern-ment a sum equal to XX.OUO lor the eupprss-ion ot lb rebetlioav As he has earefully ab stained from taking part ia the movement. ins amount of lax in iireii waaramnentry onerous; ' but lest be should not be in a condition to procure that vunr staboct notice, be whs on,y allowed three day to raise it: and as lie was not a re hi enl m yothynsa it was manifestly impossible tor him to make tbe neces sary arrangement.

Let tbe North stick to iu representative roan, and not chaage front in the hour of battle. There is matter for reflection (savs the Chil licothe Advertiser.) in the forreoine. We have here the assurance that the leaders of the relellion desire the defeat of the Demo- cratic party, liecaiue they are fearful if the party ahould.be auccessul there might be ere ated a Union party in Rebeldom that would prove potential in the highest degree, We have also the testimony adducedthat if 'Hhe wbie an conciliatory measures wbjch the Northern Democracy profoss to alvocste had been pursued" tbe ft be! lion would bav been peacealdy smothered in its cradle." AlKMt this there can be no doubt. And there ia another thing equally certain, that If the Democratic party shall be reinstated iu power, by a clear majority, not by a plurality, in the face of the seemingly overwhelming opposition that shall be brought to bear against it. it will tie accepted by a large class of tbe people ia the South j it U safe to aay, by a large majority of tbe people in the South; as an attestation that AbolitionLnn baa been Over' thrown and will no longer be able to afflict the bod? politic Until auch a result is schieved, no permanent peace no restored Union will take place. The Abolition ora ctes no longer give uncertain responses. SJlavery is the cause of the- Kebel Hon' ear they, M and, therefore, before the arm of the North are rrounded tb cause must be extir pated." The whole Abolition gospel is, con sequently, proclaimed without abridgement : sad if with this.openf? avowed - purpose the South can not be mad lo resume ita place in th Union as free States bv mid-auuMHer, tbe certainty la that no future time can it be in duced to do so. .

In the House Of Representatives, If r. Cox, of Ohio, in discussing the proposition to amend the enrollment bill by exempting ministers of the gospel, said : ' I am opposed to exempting minister of the gospel from their share of the dutv of puttinr down this rebellion. It is a general belief among large part of the people of this country, both North and South, that the most pes tiferous class, ot human beioge those who have fomented secession at the South and disunion in the North have been the clergymen. And they are still fomenting bate, ill wilLand onkindneas among the people. And now, gentlemen come here, and say that their profession forbid them to encourage in the shedding of blood, and that therefore they should be exempt from military service. Sir, I canuot rec ognise that as any argument for such exemp tion. 1 sin opposed to tut clasa legislation. I eannot recognix any difference between min-ifitere of the gospel and men belonging to any ther profession. Atler all it is nothing but a Lupines, ajid in tbe matter of allegiance every man, whatever may be his business, owes hi allegiance to his country. My colleague I Sir. Spauldlngl thinks I am mistaken when 1 nay that rebellion has been foineitted by ministers of the gospel, ffouth and North. My colleague said iu ; Itw speech the other dav that he bad shaken bands with rebels oa Johnson's Island, and that be would rather shake hands with such rebels than wilh.aome men on this side of the Uoue.

I Laurbter.'l More than that, air, my colleagne was engaged again in Ohio in tryiog to break down the laws , of the United States, and I can prove from pa pers in my desk to be a seditionisl and a revo lutionist. He is a conspirator against the Federal Government. .
