Shall Slavery Continue !?

Scvcn-cights of the intelligent
adult Inhabitants of the six Eastern
States. whatever their party predilec.
tons, if asked individually to-day
"What action of the Federal Govern
mcnt would best suit your" would
reason and answer thus slavery is
the cause ofthis rebellion. II is cost
ing us more than thirty-five millions a
month to get ready to put it down, and
probably will not cost less while the
war lasts. It has already cost us
more than thousand lives, and may
cost Us ten and perhaps fifty times as
many more. Is it wise to expend all
this treasure aud blood without touch
ing the cause to by-and-by give
slavery another ten or twenty or thir
ty years in which to fomcnt second
and more costly rebellion No!
Ncverl When this matter is settled
let it be settled forever And the
sooner the Federal Government strikes
at the root Of the evil, declares itself
unequivocally in favor Of universal
freedom, the better" Such is the
voice Of New England-the sentiment
for which her Fifty thousand volunteers
will fight, and if need be, die.
And such, if we mistake not, is the
voice of the West. When Fremont
proclaimed freedom to the slave of the
rebel in arms against his Government
who did not hear the laundering AMEN,
whose pealing echo wss scarcely bro
ken from Minnesota to Maine? The
heart of the people asks for universal
libcrty-asks for I higher idea for
which to dare and die than simply sus-
tanning government that indirectly
sustains, tolcrates at least, the most
outrageous system Of unmitigated
wrong ever known to man.
Why then delay the declaration!
Publish it, and God is with us !; good
men are with US the right is with rs.
Publish it, and we believe hundred
thousand additional men would stand
If needed upon the banks of the Poto-
mac and Ohio within sixty days. Pub.
fish it, and we shall be fighting for
something worthy of war.
Why then delay the declarationl

Kentucky.

1t is reported that there was fight
on the 2lst inst, at Camp Wild Cat,
between Zollicoffcr with 1000 troops,
and Col. Garrard, with 1900 Union
men. Zoll;coffcr made three different
attacks and was repulsed each time,
with heavy loss. The Federal loss
was four killed and twenty wounded.
The advance Of Zollicoffer upon the
Union troops at Camp Wild Cat and
his rcpulse, brings these localities in.
to notice. The Covington and Lex.
ington Railroad ends at Nicholasville,.
and from that place to Cumberland
Gap there is a direct turnpike. Sew.
enteen miles beyond Nicholasville is
the celebrated Union camp Dick Rob.
inson, and forty-ive miles beyond is
Camp Wild Cat. The rebel General
Zollicoffcr entered Kentucky at the
Gap, and has been playing back and
forth for some time, having almost a
clear road for seventy miles. When
he approached Col. Garrard, at Camp
Wild Cat, the Col. determined to fight
him, and succeeded in giving him
signal repulse. Gen. Thomas being
at Camp Dick Robinson with 5000
Kentuckians and Tennessee ans, it was
expected that he would promptly fol-
low up Zollicoffer and drive him from
the State.
Later accounts say that Zollicoffer
has reiterated beyond London, and is
supposed to be falling back to Cum
bcrland ford. @
Forty-threc mounted rebels, on the
way to join the rebel army at Pres
tonburg, were captured on the Gath
inst. near Winchester by - Home
Guards. Their horses, arms, &c.,
were all secured.
The Louisville Journal expresses
the confident belief that within four
weeks Tennessee, and not Kentucky,
will be the theatre of the war. It is
believed that the advance Of Fremont
from Scdalia is intended not only to
clean out the rebels in Missouri but,
coming in at Memphis, to aid in per-
forming similar work in Tennessee.
The recent precaution of the Confede-
rates in forbidding the concentration
of cotton and tobacco at Memphis
tends to confirm our impression that
the dispensing Of Prices army is but
a secondary consideration in the COM
prehensivc plans of the great Leader
Of the Army Of the West. The her.
culean efforts to complete the iron
clad gun-boats built at St. Louis and
Mound City Ivy the time Fremont COM
menccd moving are not without sig
nificance in this connection. There
are eleven of these boats, and if we
are not mistaken the first step in Free
mont's progress towards New Orleans
was taken when he set out from JET.

mont and Staff were at Pommcdcterre
river, en- route for Quincy. Hunter
and Mex instry were moving toward
Warsaw. Pope was marching on
Lccsville via Sedalia, and Asboth was
at Warsaw.
The general belief among the OFF,
GERS at Warsaw was, that Price could
not escape. and would he compelled to
fight or surrender. The bridge at
Warsaw is completed, and the troops
crossed on Wednesday of last week.
There was a fight in Carroll county,
north of the Missouri river, at Big
Hurricane Creek, on the 10th inst.

with 220 men, attacked 600 rebels.
They first drew him into an ambus-
cade and inflicted considerable loss.
Morgan afterwards pursued the rebels
all day, killing IA, wounding an un-
known number, and capturing 8 pris-
oners, large amount Of camp equip
age. horses, &c. Morgan's loss was
two MORALLY and fourteen slightly
wounded.
A detachment OF Federal cavalry
broke up rebel camp at Buffalo Mills
ten miles from Cole Camp Creek on
the 23d inst, killing II, wounding a
large number, taking 10 prisoners, .
number of horses and several wagons.
1t is believed that the notorious
Martin Green has deserted Price, and
is now organizing another band Of
outlaws in North Missouri.
A report from Rolla says orders
have been issued from the rebel head
quarters requiring all the Texas troops
to march to Houston, the Arkansas
troops to Little Rock. and the Nilsson
rians to Camp Walker, Ark.
It is reported that Lane and Mont.
gomery have intercepted McCalloch,
or some one assuming that name, in
bis attempt to join Price, and had cut
his whole army to pieces.
