very Sensible.


We copy the following sensible remarks from
the Louisville Joarnal Why any rational man
desires to have our army worn out and broken
down by a herd Of vagahond negroes hanging
on its rear, is more than we can imagine. Our
soldiers have trouble and labor enough to pro-
vide for their own subsistence, without being
ladened with them: =
Many perso ns seem to think that the question
&c to the treatment of slaves and slavery BY our
armies as they penetrate the Southern Confed-
etacy presents great difficulty. To our minds
it presents none whatever. WeFegard the poll
cy TO be pursued perfectly obvious. We don't
see how, with intelligent patriots, there can be
any doubt about 1t.
Surely the proper course fer our armies is to
have nothing to do with slaves or slavery. The
policy Of Gen. Halleck's proclamation Is tho
wise policy. Itis the true one. Let no slaves
be reduced by our armies at all. Let them be
excluded from our lines. Let our military have
nothing to do with them. Let slaves and own
ers of slaves take care of their own relations.
Certainly this is right and expedient If We
send an army Of ten thousand men into the
Southern Confederacy, with provisions for their
support, what good reason is there, what good
reason can there be, for our allowing ten thous-
and or FIVE thousand slaves to come in and share
the provisions7 why should they be quartered
on usl Are we to own them7 Assuredly not.
Are we TO employ them ss servants and pay
them7 Surely not Oar gallant soldiers un-
derstand that they are to take care Of them
selves. They are not In want of nigger ser
wants.
These are our views, and they have been thus
far praotically sanctioned by the Government.

LJ- If Congress would promptly adjourn, and
send the bowling gang Of Abolitionists home,
the conservative men Of the country could run

and Secession elements are alike offensiye 20

cause Of the Union. .-LoNisviNe Dem,

The Arabs Gift.

A poor Arab was travelling in the desert
wien he met with a spring OF clear, spark
ling water. Accustomed as he was to brack-
ish wells, to his simple mind it appeared that
such water as this was worthy OF monarch ;
and filing his leathern bottle from the spring,
he determined to 60 and present it to the Ca
liph himself.
The poor man travelled u considerable dis.
tance before he reached the presence of his
sovereign, and laid his humble offering at his
feet The caliph did not despisc the little
gift brought to him with so much trouble. He
ordered some Of the water to be poured into a
cup, drank it, and thanking the Arab with a
smile, ordered him to be presented with re-
ward
The courtiers around pressed forward, eager
to taste of the wonderful water, but to the
surprise of all, the caliph forbade them to
touch single drop.
After the poor Arab had quilted the roya
presence, with light and joyful heart, the
callph turned. to his courtiers, and thus ex
planned the motives of his conduct {:
During The travels Of the Arab, said he
the water in this leathcrn bottle had become
impure and distasteful. But it was an offer
ing of love- and as such l received it will
pleasure. But | well knew that had sui
fered another to partake Of it, he would no
have concealed his disgust, and therefore
forbade you to touch the draught, lest tn
heart OF the poor man should have bee
wounded
All that sinners can present to their Kin!
is like The water brought by the Arab, thoug
like him we may fancy it worthy the accept
ance OF cur Lord. But he will not reject, h
will not despise the little offering of love an
faith for he hath promised that even Gu
of cold water given in the name of dlsclp
shall in no wise lose its reward.

A Warning.

While congregation were sitting one sIo,
rious Sabbath in their pleasant church, and
listening to prayers, and hymns, and sermon
all radiant with Christ, in house close by
the church, there was weeping, and wallns
and woe. A widowed mother, and tatherless
sisters, mou,ned over the dead body OF an on
" son and brother. Yesterday, this young
man, made in the image Of God, this rational
human being had reduced himself belo" the
level Of beastjness by intoxlcation. lhIs
morning he was Iound-dead
He had staggered away to sleep OFT MS IN,

from its prostration, his powers in their iu!l
activity, his perceptions clear and been but
it was beyond the limits OF hope or pardon
it was on the other side Of probation-it was
in eternity ;.
Gooe f ON his woe cups, reeling into the
presence of his Judge! Is 1T not warning
to the youug--to young men, to all those who o
inger even in tho precincts OF temptation
Let them give heed to such lesson ; lot
them ponder the path OF their feet' Let
them follow the counsel of the wise man.

The only true way to gain permanent

have upfurled the black banner of treason SO
grave and terrible lesson that for centuries

cious example. And those among us who are
ever ready to cavil, to condemn, to criticise,
and to weaken the Government for the sake
of indirectly beneftting the secession cause,
are, in reality, the foes Of peace, as they are
tho foes Of the country, because peace can On
