Great armies are organized and sent to
kill the traitors and eonfscate all their
property-except their ringers. The
President is willing to see the traitors an
INITIATED and their property all taken
except their aiggers. However, in late
case where a cargo Of some hundreds of
barrels of whiskey was on its way South,
the President did give orders to let it pass
provided it was Of Cincinnati manufac-
ture. 1t is understood that the Presidents
Motiges were not Of the purest water in
this whiskey transaction, for he must have
known that many good union men must
be shot in the neck by the same cargo of
helrs liquid artillery allowed to pass for
killing the rebels. But we started out TO
speak Of the peculiar gods which have the
Strange popularity of being neither men
nor property: we mean slaves. iheae
may cultivate the lands of rebels, may
raise the feed and make the clothes Of rebel
soldiers-yet they are as sacred as the
gods, for they may net be taken away, or
destroyed or converted into soldiers to
fight against their rebel masters. Ere
mont may Kill the traitor masters found
with arms, may seize their property, but
these gods which caused the war must be
sacred still To lay violent hands on the
gods would be abolition, and to arm them
for the fight ON the side of liberty would
DO encouraging insuneetions-might also
Jet the world into The secret that negroes
are as brave as other people. Keep The
niaqers ont of the school and away from
the hattie field and then accuse them of
ignorance and cowarlice-incapable Of
rising and only fit for slaves! This is
charity, philanthropy According TO the
Constitutions Chief Justice fancy has
it-these black gods have no rights which
white men are bound to respect; we fear
The practice Of our Government is to lie
chat traitors have one right which union
men are bound TO respect-the right most
sacredly and unmolestedly to hold on TO
jheir black gods, from the proceeds Ct
whose labor the traitors are 10 be fed and
clothed, the eonfederacy supported and the
war carried on against us; all this while
we have no rights but to Kill the masters if
we can catch them, and occasionally snatch
away some rebel horses, powder and pro-
visions, But the gods-these eonstitu-
tionally held gods Of rebels may not be
taksn or made free. And if these gods
run away, they may be sent back TO their
worshipperS, or set to work on eur for
tresses-n which latter case strict ac-
count is to be taken Of their time, so that
when the war ends Government must pay
What their services are worth and send
darkeY homo. Only such rebel slaves as
are found fghtiug against the Federal
government may be taken and made free /;
but as they all want TO be free the induce
ment for them to enlist on the rebel side
amounts to pre.,ium. The Government
virtually says to darkey, Sir fight
against the union and you shall be flee :"
