A RIGHTEoUs DEcIsIoN-A negro woman
belonging to a citizen of Alexandria, early
in the rebellion, was imprisoned by her
master in the city Jail on suspicion of an in
tention to run away, which suspicion was
founded upon the fact that she had, on
several occasions, furnished meals to some of
our soldiers, from her masters table. A
short time ago her mistress applied to the
Provost Court for leave to take her from
Jail, which was granted On the night of
her release her master took her to the garret
of his house, gagged and bound her, and
whipped her furiously, then locked her in.
During the night she escaped by the win
dow, and in the morning made complaint to
Judge Freese. He summoned her master,
who is one of the F. f. VS., aud ordered
him to be confined in Jail. His wife, with
tears in her eyes, applied to General Mont
gomery for relief, and he arrested the order
for Imprisonment. The question was taken
to the War Department. nd Assistant
Secretary Scott, who is as wise as he is able,
in deciding it, said he felt no disposition to
NEEDLE with the action of the Provost Court
in any of its decisions, but especially in this
one, because it seemed in his opinion to be
eminently just and proper Washington

PREGNANT WoRDs.-In his reply to the
address of Count Piper, the Minister Resident
of Sweden and Norway at Washington, the
President said: "Tbis country maintains, and
means to maintain, the rights Of human nature
and the capacity of man for self government"
Words are things in these days. as in all
great crises in history; and we are glad to
hear once more q phrase which was watch
word in our Revolutionary struggle, but
which has been little if at all used since in
public addresses. 1t was for the rights of
human nature" that Franklin, Jefferson,
Washington, Adams, all the patriots of '76,
believed themselves to be struggling. 1t was
the lofty and unselfsh faith that they were
doing and suffering, not for their own petty
welfare, but for the interests of all mankind,
that their cause was the cause of humanity,
and its triumph the triumph of 'the rights Of
the human race" that upheld them in all
their distresses
We, too, are maintaining the rights OF
human nature" against men who despise
labor, hate liberty, and openly rely for sue
cess upon the temptations they can hold out
70 the selfshness of foreign nations. The
cause for which we fight to-day is the cause
| for which our forefathers fought in l776, .the
rights of human nature" York Even

Late personal advices from Louisville are
to the effect that the Abolitionists of that
city are really alarmed. The imposing force
of the Confederates, coupled with the luke
warmness of the fighting material of Ken
lucky in enlisting in the Federal army, has
had the effect to embolden the true men of
the State, and thousands are focking to the
Southern standard. Kentucky will yet, in a
great measure, fight her own battles, and
achieve an Independence of AboIitiondom.
