CoTToN IN GUATEMAI.A.-We referred some
time since (says the Journal of O0mmerce) to
the production OF cotton In Guatemala. A
private letter per the Northern Light brings
advices that there, Ia now in the port of San
Luis, on the Pacific, ninety-fve tons of cotton
ready 10 be shipped, and ffty.eight tons more
on the way to that; port Besides this amount,
fifty or sixty tons are retained for consumption
in the country. The portion to be shipped has
been engaged for an English port by u vessel
to go round Cape Horn. .,.o..
BY the same letter, we learn, that the Presi
dent Of Guatemala is still in earnest about the
emigration scheme to which we have hereto
fore alluded and would heartily welcome
colony Of free blacks to settle on the hscien-
das where cotton can be easily raised in large
quantities.

A MILITARY NECESSITY.

10 an experience of seventy-two years un-
der the present Constitution of the United
States we have had no reasonable outbreak
present one, having Its origin in the institution
Of slavery, which is an alien and discordant
element in the composition Of American 80
cisy.
So far as II Is possible to discern the future,
1t Is from no other quarter that we need appre-
hend, for an indefinite number Of years, any
assault upon the Union.
As the safety Of the national capital is an
object of primary moment, and one which It
has cost us millions of money to assure
during the present war, 1t Is a matter Of the
most obvious military precaution in that re-
gard, to break up every connecting link of
sympathy between this District Of Columbia
aud the only enemy whom We have to appre-
bend.
If this city Of Washington had been as relia-
Albany is the danger of its capture by the
Insurgents would have been vastly reduced.
1t was indeed the enemy within the walls, who
was quite as dangerous as the enemy without
The walls.
As it was slaveholding which created the
sympathes between this District and the South
ern rebels, it is by making it free District,
that we shall detach it from those sympathies,
and make 1t reliably loyal, against the only
form of disloyalty by which we are menaced.
- 1t is thus upon great national considerations,
and as matter Of military prudence, that the
country d mands the immediate and complete
abolition of slavery in the District of Colum
ba.
1t would be no objection to the measure, but
rather an additional argument in its favor, il
every man, woman and child in the District
was opposed to it. This, by proving the peo
pc here to be pro-slavery, would show the
gree'er urgency of curing them of heresy
tending to attract them to the side Of rebellion
But in truth, large majority Of the people
OF this District, including in that majority
many Of the shareholders themselves, are il
favor OF the abolition of slavery here, wei
knowing that it would be the starting point o
progress. which would make Washington th,
great city which its founders hoped and ex
pected il would be

"a south roarolina ProIsss Against
Slavery" o."

Under the above title, Mr.. George P. Put.
nam, Of, New York, has just published, from
the original manuscript, letter of remarkable
interest, addressed by Henry Lsursns, second
President of the Continental Congress, to bis
son, Colonel John Laurena, and dated Charles,
ton, S. c., August l4th, l776. We subjoin the
following extract from Mr.. Lsurens's letter: u

THE IMPRISONED NEGROES.

The Star founders terribly under the expo
sure by Mr. Allen, Of the detective police, OF
the abuses practiced upon negroes In this Dir
of the organ Of the State Department, 1t de-,
cares that Mr.: Aliens report had already been
turned over by that Department to District At
torney Darlington, and that all the abuses com
planned Of would have been rectified without
the aid Of the Senate debate. In the NEXT
breath, It denies that any abuses exist, and
afirms that Mr. Aliens report is tissue oi
lies, and was brought up in the Senate by Mr..
Wilson only for "buncombe" purposes. IL
winds up by pronouncing the whole thing an
invention OF the "Abolitionists,'
The Star has not walked up to the truth, that
the times have changed since plantation ideas
and plantation manners ruled in this city, and i,
talks away in the same old way in which it
supported the Lecompton swindle, and stimu-
lated robbery and murder in Kansas, az the
little organ of Pierce and Buchanan.
The Star says, that the laws under which
the abuses complained Of have occurred, have
c4letcu tuhu CcutuTy. CU
worse. It declsims also upon the necessity o
y law against vagrants. Such laws exist every
where, but no law is law against vagrancy
which recognizes any distinction of color. Va
grarcy is a thing determined by personal co
dition, not by race. The laws complained of
are not laws against vagrants al all, They ar
laws passed in the interest of holders, ant
reckless Of the rights or interests of every BODY
but shareholders. To make escape from SLAYER,
more difficult, these laws subject every color
ed MAJ to arrest, who cannot upon the ipstan
and upon the spot, establish the fact that Be

many of whom regard it as crime for sn

GENERAL HALLEoK.-The Chicago Tribune
notices the fact, that at the very moment that
the rebel General Thompson is employing
four hundred slaves to erect Notifications at
New Madrid, the colonel commanding the na-
tional forces at Birds Point, higher up the
Mississippi river, is every day compelled by
The orders Of General Halleck 10 drive of the

PROMOTED.

Lieutenant Psrnell, OF the New York Mount
ed Rifles, has been promoted to eaptaincy in
that regiment, for gallant conduct in the late
skirmish near Annandale, between squadron
of the rebel cavalry, and the plckes Of General
Blenker's Division. II will be remembered
that Lieutenant Parnell, with only thirty seven
men, went to the assistance Of the pickets, and
drove back the rebels, who were $50 strong,
killing several Of them, and making two prls-
oners

The SET oP THE TiDE.-It Is no small evil
dence of the set of the tide, that the New York
journal OF Commerce, notorious for its opposi.
ton to " abolition," gives in It's adhesion to the
policy OF conAscating the slaves of rebels. 1t
says: '..
ION this ground, whatever differences of
opinion there may be among us as TO the ab-
stract questions connected with slavery, the
North can be united. The slave property of
rebels is unquestionably the subject Of confs
cation ~ much as their horses or their cotton.
No one desires confscated slaves to be ret urned
to slavery. The Government should make
provision for that; and If, in the end, 1t shall
be that every slave In the rebellious States has
acquired freedom In this manner, no reasona.
HE man, North or South, can object to the
effects Of the administration Of constitutional
law.
" This Is the course of law and order. 1t Is
| the course provided In the Constitution, and
pursuing It, the Government will carry the
terrors OF the law with them into the heart OF
the rebellion"
The New York Evening Post favols he offer
to the rebels, of term of (say) thirty days to
lay down their arms, nfer which, If they con.
,inue contlmacous, all their property tiaclud
ding slaves) shall be forfeited.

A MoNEY-MAKING OMNIBUS ROUTE.-While the
two established omnibus routes in Washington
are exc edingly well patrouized, there is another
on which there are no omnibuses, where much
money could be made. The large resident
population on and near Fourteenth street. be-
tween the Avenue and Columbian College,
would we'll support an omnibus line in ordi-
nary times, and there are at present many thou
sands in camp, near the College, who, with
their friends and the strangers visiting them,
would make line exceedingly remunerative,
II established at once. The charges for hack
hire are more exorbitsnt than ever the hack
men claiming that the law does not limit their
prices, when out an hour or more. D.,
The proposed route is not a matter of in
terest merely to the residents Of this city, but
also 10 the many strangers here. The distance
from Columbian College TO the Capitol is abou,
two miller, and fare Of eight OF ten cent
would be cheerfully paid.
We despair Of ever seeing Washington hack
men brought to their senses under the present
city regulations and we know how gladly
cheaper transportation would be welcomed
This is a subject worthy the immediate atten
ton of the owners Of unremunerative omnibus
lines in other cities. ...

MAIL ARRANGEMENTS. - In our advertising
columns will be found a schedule of the arri
val and departure of the mails to aud from our
City Post Office, but we are inclined To the,
belief that little reliance Is to be placed In it
so far as the arrivals are concerned, from the
fact that the trains due at this place, for the
last three mouths, have scarcely ever arrived
at schedule time or even within an hour of it.
This is caused, doubtless, by the immense
amount of Government freight, and the large
number Of troops being conveyed over the
roads between here and New York. The Post
Office Department has done all in Its power to
remedy the evil, but 30 far without any avail
