VIRTUE BEW AR0Fn.


The timely bcncyolence OF the North in
taking care Of the people Of Kansas during
the recent famine, is already rewarded
The sturdy pioneers Of that new State, en-
abled, by the aid that was extended to
them, to remain in their homes during the
season'of distress, are now mastering to
the number Of five thousand in support Of
the cause to which the North is devoted
Two regiments are slready in the field, and
three more are organizing; and nowhere
in all the free States are there better SOL
diers OF more loyal men than those Of Kan
sas prove themselves 10 be. Instructed by
the Wickedness Of the afissourians in the
use Of arms and the dangers Of the field,
Injured by lives Of hardship and exposure
to the labors Of the camp and the battle,
fred by inextinguishable hatred of that
pro-slayery lawlessness which once op~
pressed them, and still hangs like
shadow over the eastern border Of their
State, they are longing for the opportu-
nifty to defend the cause for which they
have suffered, and to pay back with inter
est few Of the grievous wrongs that they
have endured. Had the North turned a
deaf ear to their cry Of distress, last win
ter, when it canae up from the West, these
men who arc now doing loyal service,
would have been driven out by hunger,
and the strong force which now threatens
the 6ecessionists Of Missouri, from Kansas,
would have been wanting, and au the
Platte country now oyerawcd mainly by
Kansas men, would have become the hot-bed
Of treason, and the gathering place Of vio-
lcnce and war.
But there is another purpose that the
brave boys OF KANSAS have admirably served.
The Indians Of the great Reservation abut-
ing on the south line Of Kansas and the
Western boundary Of Arkansas, are deep
~ .Iiectcd with Secession. They have
among them few thousand slaves, and
a1e just enough civilized to initiate tile
Eayagcs Of whi,er hue who are endeavor-
ing to stir them up to rebellion. They are
in state Of chronic discomfort; and but
for the barrier Which Kansas presents,
would certainly preeipitate themselves into
tie fight, and commit, among the Union
men Oh tie frontier, the butcheries that
have MADE Indian warfare the type Of all
that Is horrible. But the wholesome re-
traintss five thousand muskets and large
population, Of whom even the women will
do detds Of daring, have crushed their
favsge instincts: and though the agents Of
the South are among them, travelling from
house TO house, and pouring into their jeal-
Gus ears Ill that can arouse hate and stimu-
late revenge, it is not believed OF the from
tier that The red scalpcrs" will take part
in the fray. The old fable is amended.
The North sowed bacon-hams, barrels Of
flour, woolen stockings flannel petticoats,
and cases OF boots, instead of dragons
teeth, and armed men have sprung up.
Verify, virtue is rewarded -

n nCoNrRABAND OF WAR;,

, "CONTRABANO OF WAH.H
Itmny well be doubted whether the poy-
ernment ofthe United States can declare fu.
gitiye slaves *'contraband Of war" without
admitting that they are actually property
property under the Constitution. We ap-
prehend that no one is prepared to show
that they are property under the Constitu-
ton, when that instrument uniformly men-
tions them as "persons." In one Of the
three clauses Of the constitution where
reference is made to them, the language
employed is "thrce-fifths Of all other per-
so1s;'" in the second, the language is "the
migration OF importation Of such persons;;"
in the third the words used are "persons
held to service orlabor." Unless We place
ourselves on the shareholders platform
and affirm that they are property and not
persons, they cannot be logically held as
contraband Of war, for nothing is coutra-
band Of var which is not property. Gun
powder, horses, cattle, bacon and quinine
may be contraband Of war, but human
beings cannot be. ....s.
What, then, should be done with the
fugacious chattels in Viginias Treat them
us human beings, Of course Let them
alone, if they want to be let alone. En-
ploy them, if they want to be employed,
and anything can be found for them to do.
Don't give them up, on any terms. 'What
then" asks some one; "would you violate
the very Constitution which you assume
to be defeueing?" Without arguing any
thing from the maxim inter arma silent
legs, it is sufficient to say that the Constitu-
ton provides only for the surrender Of
slaves escaping from one State to another.
30 far as Gen. Buffers contrabaud articles
are concerned, there is absolutely nothing
in the fugitive elayc law applicable to
lien. They are free to all intents and
purposes. They are not contraband Of
war, but they are contraband Of slavery.
The question, whether it is a greater
crime to give man his freedom than it
is to overthrow the Constitution, break
the Union in flinders and destry the fabric
Of republican liberty which our fathers
reared, is exercising good many minds
just now. We say, distinctly, it is not. We
say so without claiming that the idea is at
all novel, radical or stunning. The crime
Of which JEFF. Davis and his fellow slave
drivers are guilty, is one at which civii-
zation and Christianity stand aghast.
They have staked everything upon their
internal hazard-let them not complain If
they lose the very institution, condemned
of man and accursed Of Heaven, for the
petpetuity Of which they drew the sword
against their country.

The Result or the B1ockade,

The world VIII soon know whether the
North Is more dependant on the South than
the eouth on the North One thing ut least
Is already demonstrated: The North, at the
call of patriotism, hesitates not to renounce
the Southern market, It hesltates not to
erect barrier Of bayonets against the entrance
Of tho corn Of Illinois, and the stnotlonsn, Of
Connecticut, and the produce and mauufac-
tqres Of every other free State, into Alabama,
