ARMY APPOINTMENTS.
The following military appointments were mad
to-day, namely:
ORGANIZATION OF THE REBELS IN
EASTERN VIRGINIA.

BALTIMORE Friday, Nov. ~, 1901.
Gen. DIX received dispatches to-day advising him
that the Reorganization of the Rebel forces was
probably complete throughout the peninsula. The
New-York 9Th Zouaves, the 2lst Indiana, and part
of Nimm's Light Artillery moved on toward East
ville the county seat Of Northampton, on the 2Oth
The 4th Wisconsin and 18th Massachusetts are at
Drummondstown.
Two rebel officers had been arrested, and two iron
cannon had been taken. Capt. Richarlss cavalry
had been dispatched, before the messenger left, to
take possession of six brass cannon known to be
near the Town Of Only on Onancock Inlet, Governor
Wises old residence and had no doubt succeeded in
doing so
Col. Smith, commander Of the Rebel forces, and
como Of his officers, were trying to escape from the
lower extremity Of northampton, but Flag-Oficor
GOdsborough has, Of Gen. Dixs request, put the
whole shore under surveillance, and il lie believed
that they will all be captured If they do not sur
render.
In addition to the force assigned to the service by
Commodore Goldsborough, the revenue steamer Her
eues Lieut.. Coffin, has been placed under Gen..
Dixs orders by the Treasury Department, and Capt.
lie Gowan, with the Reliance and the Tiger is also
watching portions of the coast on the bay side.

Ehan the more laboriOus, and less prontaO'e
farming banda Of tho West. Nor should we
leave out Of the account the large NUMBER OIL
s,noncinated slaves who, as labOrers waiting
tor hire and already on the spot, would add TO
thu nroGt Of the skiIful and industrious cult
vator. II is perfectly safe to assume that i'm
proved cultivation of the soil, the saving and
the ;udicious use of manure, the labOr-saying
machinery that would be brought into use,
wopd so increase the production Of cotton, as
well as of all other agricultural products OF the
South, that the prosperity of the country
would, in very few years, be added to the
amount of millions of dollars.
To inaugurate such system is the mngniii-
cent work which the Government is calea
upon, at this moment, to take in hand. Inc
vast fields of Texas are open to US, on "hien
to begin il. That State produces already ABOUT
one third Of the cotton crop OF this country.
She has within her borders more lana h1led
for the growth of this plant than are now un-
der cultivation for cotton in the whole ohioh'
She has an extensive coast and hne haroors,
and her territory is trayersed with navigable
rivers The writer just referred TO estimates
that farmer in Texas, with family of average
size can with 90 acres, 40 in cotton and 90 IN
grain, make a net profit Of $1,000 year on
his cotton, and support his family on the pro-
duct of the other 40 acres. Should Slavery be
abolished in Texas, its public lands be taken
possession of by the Federal Government, and
opened TO free labor, the safety and expediency
of emancipation would, ere long, be so mani
lest that the whole country would follow the
example Hemmed in on all sides by free Ia.
Dor, the problem would be how to get rid Of
Slavery, not how to preserve and extend 1t.
1t would perish before the march OF ideas and
of free emigration. Texas has but about
1870. 900 slaves and her increased prosperity,
the value of land, the increase in exports,
would soon pay the price of their emancipation.
70 make her Free State. to open her fertile
lands 10 free labOTers, to establish paternal
organization over her liberated slaves, would
be an experiment worthy of great Cover
ment and would be the first and important
step toward the settlement of that great ques-
ton the solution Of which we cannot escape
much longer. Let us forget past prejudices
and predictions, and address ourselves TO the
practical work which events have forced upon
us. In the presence of a great emergency we
need all the wisdom, the forethought, and pru-
dence we can command, and he who endeayOrs
to darken counsel by echOing the senseless cry
l.. i
an enemy TO mankind.

TIE G0yERNMENT AMONG THE PILOT BoATs.-
We understand the officers Of the Government have
purchased the New-York and Sandy Hook Pilot
Boat No. IL, and are examining, with the same
view, several others.
For dispatch mail boats there no such vessels
in the world, either for speed or safety. There are
number Of them, recently built which could be
obtained for this purpose. They have been built in
the most substantial manner as indeed the nature Of
their business demands that they shoud be- and fitted
up in the most comfortable, and, in Instances
luxurious manner. Shouldtbe Government establish
mail line TO and from the various boekading fleets
and other stations coast, with these boats,
degree of regularity would be insured not to be OBJ

pays for the hire of steamer for ten days, to Say
nothing of tie expense Of fuel.

MANCHESTER MORALITY.

Selfshness is great breeder of sOphistry, al
every one knows, both from his own intellec-
tual experience and from bis observation of his
fellows; precisely as the faith of some is q
mere conceted impression that because God is
good, he will give them new great-coats as
soon az the Old ones are out. 1t is 10
secret, We think, that ia the Manchester uni
yersity, cotton is sharper lOsic-chOpper and
shrewder schOolman than was ever Thomas
AquiDas, or Abelard. In the Art of Hair
Splitting, the old Jesuits were once thought to
be unapprOachable; but compared with a thor
Oughbred Manchester man, Father Gaspar Hur-
tadO was mere cobbler. Thus, TIE MdnchcS-
ter GrardiaR newspaper in single article as
sumes two positions, viz:
l. However wrong Slavery may be, the
Northern States have no right to compel the
Rebel States TO give it up.
II. But Slavery, being confessedly wrong,
the Northern States are not entitled to any
sympathy, because they announce no intention
of compelling its abolition.
That is to say, we are very wicked for not do
ing what it would be very wicked to do! We
have had nothing more subtle than this since
the publication of Doctor Lords celebrated
Queries.
The man who finds that he cannot make
money without Standardization is certainly to
be commserated. A duel between Cash and
Conscience is one of the most lamentable
spectacles in this gloomy world; because so
often we find Cash keeping the lists not
against Conscience only, but all corners, in
GLIDING Sense, Truth, Humanity, and Ciyiliza-
ton. Manchester undoubtedly 6nds the horns
Of the dilemma formidable. So did Liverpool,
when its slaye-trading merchants mobbed Mr..
WHEREFORE. The difficulty is to make u
Manchester man comprehend that this world
was not made altogether to spin cotton in.
He thinks il was; just as the Liverpool trader
supposed that the ocean was created only that
negroes might be carried from Africa to
Jamaica, and sugar and rum from Jamaica to
the Liverpool docks. When the Manchester
man wanted to foster Spinning at the expense
of the Colonial and Agricultural Interests, he
detained, with wet eyes and a long face
against inhumanity to negroes, and subscribed
bis money to send Mr. George Thompson as
missionary of Emancipation to America Now
bis own turn for selfabnegaton has come; and

1t is more than idle for those who desire the
defeat of Fernando Wood to cast their votes
for Gunther. By no possibility can the latter
be elected. Everybody knows that Tammany
Hall is not strong enough to carry its man.
Votes given to Gunther therefore, only help to
elect Wood. The only candidate who can beat
him is Opdyke; and we are happy to know
that the great mass of rejecting citizens are
taking this view of the contest.

was in doubt as TO which was the stronger
opponent of Wood-whether Opdyke or Have
never. This doubt engendered confusion and
division. and Fernando slipped in through the
gap. But no such doubt exists in the present
contest All rejecting men know that Opdyke,
backed by four influential parties, is stronger,
vastly stronger, than Gunther. Consequently,

Wood will 60 for 0pdyke.

Mr.. Opdyke now has the nomination of fonT
important parties-tle Republican, the Peoples,
the German League, and the Tax-Payers'
This makes him a stronger candidate by far
than Mr.. Ginther. If therefore. those Tam
many Democrats who profess to intensely de.
sire tho defeat Of Wood will only vote for OPP
dyke, they can be gratifed. Now is their
time to strike blow that will forever over
throw the Wood dynasty.
