4 great many people seem to appreheud
that emancipation IN the South would be
immediately followed by q tremendous H.
flux Of negroes into the Northern States.
There never was wilder delusion. Even
though we had not the example Of eman-
cipation in the West Indies to prove the
contrary, it would he perfectly easy to
allon, not only thut tue blacks would re-
main where they are, unless forcibly ex-
rc,!cd, but that the co1ored population OF
the North would at once begin to how
southwark. When the act Of emancipation
was declared N Jamaica the negroes al
assembled in the churches and fell upon
their knees, soGhlng and PRAYING and sing
ing psalms cf gratitude to God They re-
maiued with one accord pouring forth their
souls in lhanhnlness to the Almighty, un-
til 1l,c morning light, when they all re-
tr,..3 to The plantations and went to work
with Light hearts for honest wages. How
msny Of tAem ever emiegrated to England
in consequence Of emancipation?
70 assert that the blacks Of thc South
would 1ush nor5hward if set at liberty, is
simply to assct that they would leave
homes 70 which they are more or less at

Nothing later has been heard from Gen.
Lyon, at Springfield No anxiety is felt,
however, beyond the common interest to
know The particulars Of an expected bastle
for the result may be safely Left to the
wisdom and skill Of a leader Of such tried
capaci,y Is him who commands the Fede-
raj army. Mccul!och is sadly destitute Of
forage, and, what is quite as bad, of the
zsxs;go Of victory. A shining bait is offer
ed at Springfield, and it is quite probable
he may indulge ina nlbble. We viii leave
him to Gen. Lyon and dismiss our fears.
II the Southeast, the position Of affairs
has evidently undergone change. Gen.
Pillow, for some cause or other, is recall
