Patent Democracy and Rebel Slavery
The patent democratic newspapers OF this
and adjoining States are certainly the most
anomalous things ever seen in print For
years they have been contending that by
the constitution slaves are as much pro-
perty as horses, mules or cows; and yet
now, when a Senator or member OF the
House of Representatives proposes an act
Of Congress confscaJing this property (in
til hga2s of rebels oaH) thousand objec-
ti9ns spring up. One wants an assurance
about every ether week that this war is not
waged for the purpose Of ex.erminating
slavery another thinks it monstrous that
the general government should interfere
with slavery in any way a third sees the
" "nigger in the 9oodpile" in all that trans
pires; a fourth laments that they should
be set free fifth already sees the entire
north overrun with contrabrands-bu not
a single one suggests any plausible plan
for their future. 4 leading principle in
war Is to do as much harm to your enemy
as possible, with the least sacrifice Of life
and means on your part If this can best
be done through slavery, it appears to US
it must be a poor patriotism that would
hesitate to strike rebels with it. It is
their most valuable property, and unlike
lands, which may be regenerated, once gone
is lost altogether. The acts referred to
simply propose to iberate the slaves Of
rebels, and in case loyal men should also
suffer through it, to compensate them for
their losses. The United States Govern
ment cannot descend so low as to become
an auctioneer for selling the slaves of reb-
els; but by liberating and colonizing them
as recommended by the President
at once performs christian act and strikes
a severe blow at the foundation of this
wicked and causeless rebellion.

Wednesday, Oct 90 1901.
The Home Guards Of Southwest Missouri begin
70 disprove the allegations OF ineiicency which have
been brought against them. On Friday just before The
fight mere, Maj Frank j. White, who had been sepa-
rated from his command, was captured by the Rebels
and after its concLnson IL of tem started with him
on their way to Prices camp. They stopped for the
night at house II miles south Of Springfield, where
the farmer boldly avowed TO them that he was a
Union man. During the evening Maj. White en-.
deayored to find opportunity to exchange private
word with him, but was too closely watched. AT
last the farmers sOnsn intelligent lad OF lOyeafs-
in accordance with whispered hint from the Mayor
made loud noise just outside the house. The
Rebels, supposiog they were attacked, ran to the
door, and, during their momentary absence, Mai.
White hastily said 10 the farmer: 80 am prisoner
being taken to Prices camp Send word to Spring
field at once, and my men viii come and rescue me.
The Rebels did not hear this, and in due time they
ali went 10 bed in room with their prisoner, except
one man, whom they placed on guard outside But
the farmer placed his boy upon horse ana sent hin
away without observation; the little fellow rode
straight to Springfield and gave the alarm, and at 8

Soon after daylight Major White returned in triumph
to Springfield with his late capors transformed into

ample eisure to reflect upon the mutabe fortunes OF

Important Expedition in Search OF JeG,
Thompson.

From Oar Special Correspondent.
CosxxRoK, No. 10 mile. shove Cairo), Nov Z, 1861.
Unexpectedly, 70 me- part Of the oth the llth, the
18th. and 29th, ILL., regiments, under command Of Col.
Ogesby, left Cairo shodly after midnight on an ex-
petition into Missouri after JEFF Thompson, who is
reported at or neer Bloomfield. In addition to the
force mentioned we have two companies Of cavalry,
and two guns, a G-pounder and l2pound howitzer.
Tho object in taking so small force ia that Jeii.
may not be frightened, and that be may be induced
TO meet u.s. and, as all Of our force is effective you
Inay expect good account. The officers of the lsth,
Col. Lawler say that the men are Of such temper
as to be ndifposed TO take prisoners, but, as they
have never been in action, il remains to be seen
what they will do. But it may be said that they are
excellently well disciplined and that they are in
clned to fight among themselves is notoriousi and 1t
4 to be said too, that the whole force ID well dis
ciplined.
Bloomfield il about 80 miles from this point and as
the route viii lead through wild and disaiected
region and never very accessible in times Of peace,
il may be some time before l can send you an ac-
count Of our progress; but should an action take
place. shall advise you of il at the earliest moment.
This is a very important movement, for If We sue
cecd we shall clear out southeast Missouri and estab
lish q new base for operations upon Columbus and
Memphis.
Thompson is supposed to have 1000 Or 5000 men,
indiaercntly armed and supplied and the crcum-
stances of the case are such that he will only consent
to NEE. an inferior force. That force must use the
bayonet.
