I, Dean REPUBILcAS:-On the Goth ult.
we received orders to take three days ra-
tions and prepare for march. Some al
most went wild with Joy saying that we
were going to get on: Of this "God -forsa-
ken" country, and get into winter qusr-
tiers. but they were sorely disappointed.
for when we started and saw we were going
the wrong way for winter quarters. and
saw mules and horses loaded with rations.
ETC.. starting after us. we knew at once that
we had started on scouting expedition
over the mountains. 1t proved the hard
est marching we had ever performed. : We
struck off through the mountains. over the
roughest roads I ever saw: roads that no
Union force has ever before travelled: some.
times wading rivers. and sometimes climb
ing mountains so steep that it was almost
impossible for the cavalry and pack mules
to get along. On the fourth day of our
march, about 4 p. m. our advanced guard
came on . So lad Of rebels who were gath

they fired on onr men and then took to

Auditor Of Virginia. The next day (Sat.

THE REPUBLICAN.
The Slavery Question.

The following remaks, which we find in
an Eastern exchange. expresses our views
so fully on the subject. that we have con-
cluded to adopt them. and thus save our-
self the trouble Of dressing up the same
ideas in different language.
1t is now pretty generally admitted on
oil sides that the slavery question must be
left to settle itself. While proclamation
from the President emancipating the slaves
of rebels would not be of the least value
until those rebels are brought under mill
tary subjection. the end which would be
aimed at if such proclamation should be
issued will be more summalily and direct
ly reached BY letting slave property take
its chances in this war the same as any
other property. Slaves are not only prop
erty (according to the local law. } but they
are also men. II chattels, they are intel
ligent chattels. and capable of compre-
hending some things about this war. Ii
articles Of merchandise, they have the pow
er Of intelligent locomotion. and have an
irresistible tendency to loeomote oward
any spot where they may be free from
bondage Let now our army obtain .
firm foothold on the soil Of South Caroli-
ma. and no proclamation from President
Lincoln will be needed to cause strong
movement among the waters there. The
presence of an army in Carolina will as
surely extinguish the institution there as it
has in the neighborhood of the Potomac
and Of Fortress Monroe. Slavery cannot
exist amid the clash Of arms. and among
! scenes Of mortal strife II demands quiet.
and can only flourish when it is left entire
| ly to itself. War. and especially q civil
war. is q greater enemy to it than all the
abolition societies in Christendom. This
enemy Of the institution is now abroad in
the land in giant proportions. and has just
invaded the State where the slave power is
the strongest. teaI mf
All that is asked of the Government and
Of the army now is that no special guard
or protection be thrown around the prop
erty Of shareholders. Let it take its chance
with other property in this war. We do
not ask for proclamation Of emancipa-
ton. 1t would not be feasible or proper
All that is asked is that the negro be treat
ell as a man anil not as . slave by our army
officers Neither General Sherman nor
General Mcclellan have any thing to do
with slavery as SUCH, Under their com.
mission they cannot become slave catchers
nor shareholders. 80 es
We feel no doubt that the same wis,
policy will be pursued in South Carolins
which has been pursued in Virginia: an
that the Government and our General,
will comply with Jefferson Davis request

A Day in Camp. I
WAsHlSoros. Oct. 9,


l spent last Sunday in the camp of the
10Th Regiment. at Fort Craig. on the west
side OF the Potomac. opposite this CITY,
AT an earlier hour than usual the stir in the
streets Of tho camp indicated that some
thing unusual was sboat to occur. The
men were dressed in their new uniforms
their guns wore brighter p,lish, and all
their actions displayed an excitement far
different from the usual montony Of camp
life. soon learned that the distinguished
Governor of our State. with some friends.
were expected to visit the camp. At 10
o'clock two or three companies were de-
tailed to welcome the Governor and his
friends.
At III o'clock. a half mile from the
camp, the escort. led by the splendid regi-
mental Band met Governor Morton, Hon.
Caleb d. Smith. Hon. d. Holloway, and
portions of their families, and led the wsy
to the camp. AS the procession thus
formed reached the grounds. the cannon
from Fort Craig gave forth a salute in
honor of the distinguished visitor--.he
Governor. Sometime was spent in hearty
congratulations, when the visitors, accom-
panied by Colonel Meredith, and others
OF his officers, visited the regiment Of the
brigade and the headquarters of Gen. King.
who welcomed the party with true mill.
tary courtesy and respect. After return
ing to camp, sumptuons dinners were
served up in camp style, which seemed
to be highly enjoyed BY ell, including the
ladies'. f
AT 3 o'clock the different companies Of
the regiment were marched to the fort. for
the purpose Of attending divine service
A hymn was sung. accompanied By the
band, and the Chaplain--Rev. Mr.. Dale
made an eloquent and impressive prayer.
lie then gave way and introduced the Gov
ernor. who made brief speech. which
touched the hearts of all who heard it.
Hon. G. b. Smith also eloquently address,
ed the soldiers, reminding them of the re-
sponsibility of their position and the great
cause in which they are engaged. Hon.
ID. p. Holloway also made few brief and
appropriate remarks. which were listened
to with much attention. Another hymn
was sung. the benediction pronounced. and
the audience dismissed.
Before the soldiers left their position.
three cheers were given for Gov. Morton.
three for the Hon. G. b. Smith. three for
the Hon. ID. p. Holloway. three for their
wives. and three for the Stars and Stripes
Then came the parting. and more than one
manly cheek was suffused with tears as the
men grasped the hand of their noble Gov
ernor. shall never forget that day and
its incidents. The deep interest manifes-
ted by the Governor in all the Nom bers of
the regiment. and the gratitude and conf
dence exhibited BY the soldiers. can neverbe

with the cheers and hurras of the crowd.

Mason and Slidell.

The following remarks upon the arrest
Of those arch traitors. Mason and Slidell.
are capital. considering their Democratic
origin: asH
The arrest Of these distinguished rebels
by Capt. Wilkes is the occasion of much
talk in the United States and Canada, and
will undoubtedly furnish weeks topic
for the English press. There is general
feeling Of rejoicing at the capture Of men
who have properly been considered among
the most prominent leaders in the division
and defeat Of the Democratic party and the
armed rebellion against the Government
and the Union.
Some think the seizure Of Nfessrs. Ma
son and Slidell will be just cause of war
on the part Of Great Britain. We do not
think so. The seizure is not parallel to
the seizure by the British of American sea-
men which led to the war of 1912. The
British seized men who were naturalized
American citizens under the plea that they
were still British subjects owing duty to
that Government Capt. Wilkes seized
men who were rebels against our Govern
ment, bat who do not profess to be British
subjects. The case is widely different,
and we think will be SO treated BY the
British Government.
