son Co., Iowa:
The crop pays we'll; average. ahont

yielded fifteen and twenty bushels to-
the acre. The yield Of straw is FROM

Anybody, Good LordI

The rebels are in great straits. Some
times a slave who is about to be sold, is
allowed to hunt up master, and it is
considered very high privilege. And
it is said that the greatest annoyance
generous hearted man at the South has
to endure, is the imporsunate begging
of these slaves that he would buy them.
The South is just now in the condi-
ton of one of these slaves. She wants
to find master! A sprig of English
royalty has been her ambition. But
becoming desperate, the RicL Lmond Ec-
an,iner prays most pitiously for either
an English, French or Russian Prince
to become the master of the land OF
chivalry, rather than suffer it again to
be restored to the Unionl
Alas! we fear the prayer will not be
granted And that secessia will hardly
find, even among the younger sons OF
the bankrupt and rotten nobility OF the
old world, scamp SO desperate as to
take them into his service. We rather
"guess" they will not find master!

Ingratitude.

The rebels Of Kentucky have held a
convention and established provisional
Government. All the proprieties re-
quired that they should have made
Magoffn their Governor. But in the
baseness of their ingratitude they passed
him by, Notwithstanding all the services
he has rendered them.
We extend, says the Louisville DEM
ocrat, the hand of sympathy to our
genial Governor. He has been most
basely betrayed by secessionists. After
inclining to their views, and being
cuddled up by them, it was shocking for
them to desert him; but to appoint
another Governor at Russellville, was
putting salt on the raw wound.
"His suit they d right to reject,
But why did they kick him down stairs?'

The Way it Works.

The telegraphic dispatch from Cairo,
on the I'd inst, contains the following
items:
"Three negroes from below, presented
themselves to the picket guard at Bird S
Point about noon to-day, and were taken
before Col. Oglesby, commanding Bird s
Point, aoho ordered them sent bach
through the lines, aeith orders not to return
again. His (Col. Oglesby's) action,
in this matter was based upon general
order No. 3. issued by Major General
Halleck.
The report that Jeff. Thompson has
four hundred negroes loorkiag Oh .fortif
cations at Nep Madrid is contirmed.-
Thompson has one thousand men under
his command. a number of the largest
caliber guns are being mounted at Fort
Holt and other points here.
Now that may be very conservative, !"
| but judged from it's necessary effects, it
looks to US more like the faulty of ia
naticism, if nothing worse, than the ju-
dicious management of loyal com
mander.
Here is the rebel, Gen. Jeff. Thomp-
son, impressing the negroes to build
misunderstanding then 400 of them
at work. 1t is known that they are
forced to work for the rebels against
their will; and notwithstanding they hav e
been driven into the service IF the en-
emy, by our policy, ever since
Fremont was superseded, yet still
they come to our camps. Here
we have the treatment they receive at
the hands Of one of our Generals. And
what must be the effect. Why, we
change them from friends into mortal
enemies? We make it their interest to
carry information to the rebels, and
leave them no alternative but to build
the fsrtifcations from which our brave
volunteers are slaughtered by the thou
sand? as
We confess our patience becomes ex-
hausted at the repetition Of this insane
anegroph obia.' G.n that nan be loyal
at heart who will deliberately sacrifice
the lives Of whole columns of white
volunteers, and put in jeopardy the
very country in whose service he pro-
fesses to be, to crafty the paltry preju-
dice against negroes, imbibed in the
petty contests of partisan politics.

Progress---The world MOVES.

In tho Convention of Virginia; now
sitting IN Wheeling, Mr.. Ilagan, oi
Boone County, on the second inst, of.
fered the following: s
WHEREAS Negro Slavery is the orig
inal foundation OF our national troubles
and cause Of the terrible rebellion, in
our midst, that is seeking to overthrow
our Government; aud whereas slavery
is incompatible with the word of God
detrimental to the interests of free
people, as well as wrong to slaves them
selves: therefore
Resolve.l, That this Convention in
squire into the expediency of making the
proposed new State Free State, and a
provision besinserted for the gradual
emancipation of all slaves within the
proposed boundaries of the new State,
to be submitted to the people Of the
same for their approval or rejection.
Referred to the Committee on Funda-
mental and General Provisions.
That is a move in the right direction.
Let the Convention carry into effect the
spirit of the above, and ''Kanawha," ("
or Western Virginia, will become one
of the brightest stars in our constella-
ton. There are, we believe, but about
eight thousand slaves in all the
territory proposed to be included in the
new State. 1t would be the most unfor-
tunate calamity which could befall the
people, not only of that State, but of the
Union, to have slavery continued therein,
With this principle slavery incor-
porated in their Constitution and laws,
no matter what the number of slave
holders there might be, perpetual dis
cord will be inauguaratcd. 1t were in
6nitely better for the people that they
pay, even FIVE times the value Of the
slaves, than to curse their posterity
with the pestilential institution.
= Out of the nearly half million of
citizens in the proposed new State. less
than one thousand are Shareholders
Yet such is the nature of the institution,
that, if tolerated at all, the one thousand
shareholders must, and will, control the
half million of on-slaveholders. To
maintain the system, no matter how few
the number, requires system of legis-
lation utterly autagcnistic to the in
terests of free labor and free Institutions

CAMP STANLEY, KY, Dec. 12.
The sth Brigade of the Department
of.the Ohio, Col Turchin commanding !,
of which the Righteepth Ohio is part,
left HlizabethtoWn.. for Nolin last Mon
day, where it arrived in the. evening,
passing the company grounds of great
many Regiments that had gone ahead,
their camp fires still burning.
[ have read of the warm reception
the Kentucky ladies have given the Fed
eral troops, and was looking out for
some grand strations-cheers.
bouquets, or, perhaps, good dinner
but along the whole route did not hear
one cheer, see one bouquet-not even
a waving handkerchief or smiling
face. l heard no little urchins hurrah
ing for the ''Union the star -spaugled
banner waved only when we passed
camp of soldiers--and the cred, white
and blue" was to be seen only in the
faces of The ladies, the blue predomina-
ting to such an extent that the white and
red were scarcely discernible. Mrs.
Dlnah, with her seventeen children, of
all compilations, was on hand, looking
as sour as crabapplss, for they 'dassent"
smile on US Nigger-worshipers, Woody
heads and Abolitionists.
Taking the weather and all into con-
sideration, [ consider our reception
rather cool. 1t is saddening to see such
state of affairs among the ladies, either
white or black, but I don't think the
general health was effected any more
thereby than by the cold The gentle
men, both white and of color, were not
to be seen. The whites, probably. being

it is clear case that I am not the son

To see our men practicing firing in

Talking Right Out.

The Wheeling Infeliigencer is one of
the very best papers published. 1t has
become most thoroughly imbued with
the-great truth that slavery is not only
crime in the individual practicing it,
but is an intolerable incubus upon the
State which permits it, The Iatelligen-
Ger is an earnest advocate for the divis-
ion of the State, and with ga honest in
dependence, it places its advocacy upon
the broad and statesman-kke policy Of
universal freedom. In the bounds of
the, proposed new State there are but
few slaves, and the Mtezliycncer advocates
their emancipation.
81 There is now an effort being made to
attach what is called the valley of Vir-
giaia, to the proposed new State. But
this '.yalley" has many slaves, and for
that reason the Intelttgeneer protests. 1t
says:
"For our part, We can say that we
hope TO escape the amlctlon OF DelnS
united with the Valley-notwithstand-
ing the many loyal people that are there,

The Union men of New Orleans have
hit upon capital me- thod of conveying
intelligence to the fleet at the mouth of
the river. They enclose their communi-

into the river, which carries them to our
fleet. Good! We will bet ninepence
