GurIey,s ConfiscatIO BIlI.

Mr.. Gurley's ConHscation and Colonization
Bill, of which he gave notice yesterday, will
provide for the freedom Of all slaves belonging
to persons in rebellion against the Government,
their employment during the war in way best
calculated to bring it to q successful termina-
ton, their apprenticeship at its close to loyal
masters, say for half o dozen years, and their
final colonization to some tropical country Sc
lected meanwhile by Commissioners, with the
appreciation of Congress. The wages Of the
freed slaves are to be reserved for their use,
and to assist in dsfraying the expenses Incl.
dent to their removal to and comfortable loca-

THE EMANCIPATION PoLICY.-The Louisville
Democrat thus comments upon the effect Of
adopting an emancipation policy:
We speak it plainly; the scheme for general
emancipation or armiug the blacks will lose
everv slave State to the Union. 1t would take
a standing army of 200, 900 men to retain
Kentucky in the Union, and then the soldiers
would be compelled to aid in exterminating the
black race. If they are emancipated, there is
but one thing to be done with them: they must
be wiped out-utterIy obliterated. 1t must be
q merciless, savage extermiuation of the whole
aSh6e. There will be no question of humanity,
or justice, or mercy. II will be natures first
law-self. defense. The two races, as has been
simply shown by the whole history of the world
from the days Of the Egyptian to our own
times, can not exist in the same country, un-
less the black race is in slavery. 1t is no
question for theory, argument, or discussion.
1t is direct law of God, final and conclusive.
The President himself, Kentuckian, knows
al appreciates the condition of affairs, and
will act for the best, and il ought to be the
duty ofthe State Legislature to aid him by ex
pressioDs of condemnation of the Cameron
policy.

Cincinnati horticultural Society

The Horticultural Society met this morn
ing ct the usual hour and place, VIM. Orange,
Vice President, in the Chair.
On motion 1t was resolved that Messrs.
Geo. Graham, John A. Warder, VIM. E.
Mears, D. Pearson and E. P Oranch be
appointed a committee to attend the meet
ing of the Sta.e Board of Agriculture to be
held at Columbus on the first Wednesday 10
January next and to urge upon that body
the propriety of this Society being recog-
nized as coordinate branch of sad Board,
and 10 urge such other measures as may be
deemed important to the interests of agricul-
tuIe. Also, that the railroad expenses OF
the Comm be betrayed by the Society.
Mr.. William Stoms, in advocating the reso-
luton, remarked that it would bring into
the funds of the Society from $3.50 to 5000
per annum, and would entitle the Society to
one delegate with vote for the officers Of
the State Board.

DR.. Warder remarked that he had received
a second communication from Mr.. Com
stock, and that from the limited trial he had
given, the remedy proposed sulphur at the
root of peach trees for grubs-he was led to
believe it perfectly effectual. From four to
FIVE ounces per tree would be a sufficient
quantity.
A coupe of specimens of 'grspes," manu-
featured at Mr.. Ashcrsft's fOundery, were
laid on The table by Mr.. Pearson, and though
not reported on officially by the fruit com
mittee, it was agreed that they were of the
"a little more, Captain Bragg" kind, one
inch in diameter, literally worthless as atable
vsriety; of no. use in this locslity-excel-
lent food for lebels, but deleteFious TO North
ern digestion; would flourish best in the
climate Of Bowling Green, and recommended
that they be sent there as soon as possible.

PENSACOLA AND Fort PIOKENs.-The Wash

could lot get within two miles of Fort McRae

planted for miles on the road to Pensacola
Nor could the latter attack Fert Piokens or

WASHINGTON FULL TO OVERLOOKING. The
Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun says:
Never before, in the history of Washington,
have the hotels and boarding houses been SO
crowded. They are literally packed TO over
flowing, and it is now very difficult to procure
either rooms or lodgings, except at ex'ravagaut
prices Quite a number of new stores and
warehouses are being built in various parts of
the city, which are engaged to tenants almost
as soon as the founds ions are laid. Large
premiums are being offered for places hereto
fore leased, in which to transact business.

DEATH IN BATrLE.-In Richter's Selma the
hero thus speaks of the idea of death in the
presence of baltic. He is fighting 10 behalf of
the Greeks, and is with the army at the siege
of Napoli di Romania:
"Btlieve me, nowhere does one think more
rarely Of death than in camp among the dying.
Man is here fame, not ashes. We see the
flag waving above the course of battle, but
look not at the graves which it runs through,
nor at those who prepare the graves; and the
thTob of dying, even single throb, appears
ony as one more, the last motion against the
enemy. No stiAed anguish as of a close cham
her oppresses the feelings, but strength and
he good cause uplifs them. In The midst of
the kingdom Of ideas and deeds, which no.
where stand so near each other as in battle, the
outer life is easily given up; and if a single
child Of Greece or a trembling old man stands
10 ask for your saving hand, you are willing
10 go forth like lion against the barbarian
horde, aud the fash of the powder seems to be
the silver fash Of life"

C1PITULATION OF THE AUGUSTA, G1
 1RSEN1L.

The Chronicle of the 26th, after noticing a grand militaray parade the day previous, thus refers to the equalization of the Augusta arse nal:
 Governor went up to the arsenal about 9 A. NJ. and had long conference with Cap tain Elizey. We get the terms of surrender and other details from an intelligent military friend, who is posted. Captain E., 1t IS un- derstood, wished to make 1t condition of the equalization that they should take their arms with them when they left their post; but to this Gov B. would not consent, as he said they had brought none with them; and could take none away It was finally agreed that they should make full surrender of the ar senal and all the arms and munitions of wal it contained. Captain Elizey then, about F A, fired national salute of B guns, low. cred the stars and stripes from the flagstaff and formally gave up the position. The in dependent flag of the republic of Georgia was then hoisted in is stead, and the affair was over. Captain Elizey and his men are allow ed suitable time for retiring, carrying the necessary baggage
 We understand that detachment of ten men was detailed from the Ogethorpes, to take charge of the arsenal. They will, of course, be relieved by guards from the other volunteer companies of the city-the same system being adopted, probably as in guard ing the powder magazine
 We learn, also, that the Washington Artil- lery went up to the arsenal in the afternoon, and fired a salute The statement is probably correct, as we heard firing in that direction.
 By the taking of the arsenal, Georgia se- cures the possession of fine battery of two 12-pound howitzers, two cannon, and some 22,OOO muskets and rifles, many of them of the best kind. There are also large stores of powder, cannon balls, grape, etc.
