AbOIishing Slavery.

A correspondent of the N. Y. Times,
writing from Washington, says that the
refusal of Gen. Butler to deliver up fugi-
tive slaves, marks new era in the histo-
ny of the war, and it is confidently ex-
pected here by intelligent men, that its
effect will be to drive slavery out of Vir-
ginia. Let it once be understood that
no more slaves will be delivered up while
Virginia maintains an attitude of hostility
to the Government, and the SHAREHOLDERS
in a body will make such a stampede for
the Southwest as the agents of the I'M
foreground railroad never started in the
opposite direction. A Virginia slave
holder who resides here, expresses the
opinion that slavery will be speedily
cleaned out from Northern Virginia by
this process, and although he will be
among those who will be forced to move
his slaves South or permit them to 60
North, he is unqualified in the expression
of the opinion THAI it will promote the
welfare of the State.

The Result.

WIN. H. RUSSELL, the celebrated cor
respondent of the London Times, now
travelling in the South, wrote as follows
from Montgomery.
This contest will have but one result,
whether it be reached at the end of five
years or fifty. Let there be no misap-
prehension in Europe on this point, nor
the merits of the issue that is made. The
line which divides the two colnbatants IS
plain one. On the one side stand the
supporters of the Constitutional Govern
ment-those who favor the preservation
of free Neutrality-suspicious. who dread a
military Representatives. who believe
in the noble principles Of Aag'o Saxon
freedom, that have made England what
it is; snd on the other side are those
who prefer military government, found
ed on treachery and conspiracy-those
who would suppress the press, and the
noble results which flow from its freedom
those who regard African slavery as
a Divine institution, to be fostered by
the Government, at the expense of every
other branch of industry in the State
In this contest, l frankly confess that my
sympathies are with the Government of
the United States.

down" upon the Southern mails. After
10 day, no more letters or papers or oth-

opportunity of amusing ourselves over
our Southern exchange papers, reading
the enormous lies of crack Drained editors,
and witnessing in print the effect of the
crazy ebullitions of Southern drunken
ness and desperation-shall be depriv-

The Extra Session.

The following is a synopsis Of the do
ings of the extra session of the Legisla-
turc.
"An net to provide a militry force for
immediate service to aid in protecting and
defending the Union" authorizes the
Governor, immediately to call into the
service of the State three regiments in
addition to the three already called for
by the General Government. 1t fur
Their authorizes him when these three
shall be called into the service of the Uni
ted States, t. call cut two more regiments
and DID them in rediness for any sub
sequent demand that may be made on
the State by the national Government,
and so on, during the war, holding two
regiments in camp ready to be mustered
when needed, into the service Of the
United States.
IAN. act to provide for borrowing
money to repelinvasion, suppress insur-
rection anu defend the State in time OF
war;" appointsthe Governor, Secretary
of Stste, and State Treasurer to negoti-
ate loan upon State bonds, bearing SIX
per cent. interest, of one million of dolla rs,
to be used rs war fund. Sixty per
cent. of this loan is to be negotiated for
specie; the balance may be exchanged for
fully secured bank paper.
These are the leading measures of the
session. Two acts were passed in re-
gard to the maintenance of families of
volunteers, one appropriating from the
war fued five dollars per month to each
family, and the other authorizing coun-
ties, towns andc les and villages to levy
special taxes for the same purpose. An
other act amends the law of last session SO
as to exempt volunteers from civil pro-
cess as soon as accepted hy the State.
Three joint resolutions which have bee I
signed by the Governor were also pissed,
siz. :authorizing the Governor to be ab-
sent from the State during the present
war; recommending the War Depart
merit to form a brigade of Wisconsin
Volunte crs, and appoint Gen. Rufus King
to its command; and the resolution in
regard to the assassination CT Col.
Ellsworth.
The act amen ding the Banking Law
prohibits the Bank Comptroller from re-
ceving, after the 1st of December next, ps
security for circulating bank notes, any
other public stocks than those of the State
of Wisconsin and the United States.

The War.

There is no exciting news from the
seat of war this week. The President
has made another levy of 100000 men
and all the preparations are on so vast
n scale as leaves no doubt as to the final
result.
If the rebels fight at all, it must be
within few days. They have a large
force at Groton junction and Harper's
Ferry, but the Government has deter
mined to occupy these places, and IFS
troops are already in Virginia in large
force. The rebels viii be compelled to
give battle or retire, and the probabilities
are in favor of the latter course. There
is no doubt but that the Government
troops will occupy Richmond at an early
day, and probably Memphis also. Mean
time the blockade is strictly enforced, the
Southern mails are stopped Missouri
and Western Virginia are protected fir, m
the rebels. Ii there is not an immediate
battle in Virginia, it does not look prob
able that any will occur this summer, as
the Government will not probably send
its troops in TO the South, until the warm
season is over.

HuDsoN, june 2.

ED. JouRsAL;-The clock is striking
eight. 1t is a glorious night. Tie shad-
ows are creeping from the valieys-the
chorus Of the frogs comes from the mar.
shes--the whippor-vlls are upon the bill
sending forth their unlucky song-a star
gives an uncertain glimmer through the
dark foliage, and thousand sounds pro-
claim the outgoing of another day. This
misty hour of twilight is poor time to
write. 1t is the time to think instead.
One of the most important local events
of the past week has been another war
meeting, held-well, can't say what it
was held for, probably to allow some Of
our patriotic citizens 20 aid the Govern
nent in this crisis. by the expression of
their "pheelinks." The occasion was
truly great one, presuming my judg-
ment to be correct. A great many
speeches were made by a great many
men, and small boys did valuable service
in-their way. One very striking evil
dence of the great fervor of the meeting,
was, that large numbers became SO patri-
otto This is ironicall that they were obi
ged 10 leave before the meeting broke up.
One of our "cminent citizens" was es-
pecially conspicuous, appropriating to
himself large portion of the evening,
saying his piece over several times, and
uttering great many foolish things to
the evident discomfort of many, your
correspondent not excepted.
Well, the fact is the meeting accom-
plished all which it was intended to, that
is-nothing. And here let me say that
all meetings in reference to the war got
up regardless of any necessity and with
no dearly defined end to be attained, will
prove, rs in the case mentioned, ssstale,
flat and improbable" The proper use
of rhetoric l readily grant to be a very
fine thing. but sensitive and excited peo-
pie in such stirring times as these, should
be spared as far rs possible from its
powerful influences.
The Guards are still in camp here. but
kept or the qui viue by the constant ex-
pectation of being ordered into camp in
the southern part ofthe State.

Remember Ellsworth.

The n. !. Trijune says
The poor wretch by whose murderous
hand Col. Ellsn orth fell probably was
rot aware whose life he had taken. He
saw only a soldier of the United States
who had pulled down the visible sign of
riot and resurrection. and, obedient to the
savage instinct which governs him as we'll
as his masters, lie shot him down when
sure there was no time for defence and
no possibility for escape. The kindly
rains of Heaven fhave washed out the
blood OF the Massachusetts men from the
streets Of Baltimore, though no Massa-
chusetts man who bears n musket in this
war can ever forget those crimson stains.
Do our New Y DIRK Firemen need WISH
bic evidence of the manner of the death
of him who mustered and trained them
and led them out for this war? We are
sure they do not need it, and yet we beg
them to cherish sacredv the rators'
flag that is filed with his blood, md let
the South learn to tremble and grow
pale at the sight OF its crimson folds
when they go to battle with the war-cry
