In addition, no less than sixteen hundred steam

MUsKETs VS.. RIFLEs-We have been strnct
at the very general desire among our volunteer
troops to be armed with rifles The desire is M
tura to those who used to them; but we are
inclined to think that the number Of rifles in an
army should not be SO great. The muskets with
the long, firm bayonet is the weapon most needed
in this war next to artillery. What the artillery
cannot do the bayonet must and we should mostly
prefer the old bayonet to the improved sabre
Dex'erous hands with good bayonet could I'M
ship every rife sabre in twinkling But mus
kets with single ball cartridge do but little ex-
ecuton; the cartridge for mu>ket when drawing
to a close encounter should be made of powder and
Is buck shot. If that fails to do the work then
comes the death encounter with the bayonet. The
test We think will show then that the old bayonet
is the Observation-Disclosures Standard

A CONSERVATIVE PROPOsAL.-An arti-
Gle in De Bows Review for January, which
is exciting some attention, declares the neces-
sity of slavery to be absolute Independence Of
northern interterence-either in the Union
or out of it. To this end as the only expe
dent for preserving the Union, it demands
constitutional prohibition of legislation direct
ly affecting slavery, by Congress, without the
assent of majority of Senators from both
sections. This is an anomalous, but not per-
haps altogether absurd proposal 1t is fair
to both sides, prohibiting in effect, all leeisla-
ton on the subject, except by agreement be-
tween the two parties. Neither can thus ty-
ranize over the other Teither slaverv nor
anti-slave~y IAN raaa. ~ther aggressioas or
eair. flrtner al,~areo 10y legislation. Il
practically removes L. subject from the
sphere of Federal legislation, and leaves the
status quo ofthe Constitution to be mtlntaln-
ed as the Supreme Court may define it. The
proposal deserves a candid examination. -
