Caroiina. Here are the Important words:

Coz W provide 10 them for the loss Of

these words have not the positive form Of procla-
nation; but, anHlyZe them, and you viii find them
sull Of meaning. First, martial law is hereby de-
elred; for the powers committed TO the discretion
Of the general are derived from that law and no.
from the late ConiscatiOD Act Of Congress Sec
ondly, Fugitive slaves are not to be surrendered
Thirdly, al conng within the camp to be treat
ID Ne freemen. Fourthiy, they may be employed 10
such service they may be fitted for. Filthy, In
squads, companies or otherwise, with the single lin
ltsiion that tn IL not mean general arulng OF
them for military service" And sixthly, compen-
saiion, through Congress is promised to loyal mas
tefs; saying nothing Of rebel masters. All this is
little short Of Proclamation Of Emancipation-not
unlike that OF old Caius Mslids, when be Landed on
she coast Of Etruria, ana, according to Pldtarch,

Slavery is the inveterate eulpritthe ,ranscendent

that every surrender Ct slave by your soldiers back
10 bondage is III Offering OF human saciifce-wbose
shame is TOO great for any amy TO bear. That men
shoaj still hesitate TO strike at slavery is only an
other illustration OF human weaksess. The English
Republicans, in their bloody contest with the Crown,
beeitated for long time fire upon the King; but
under the valiant lead of Cronw ELL surrounded by

@here under the fag OF the Uuon, in It's triumphant
narcb,-Freedom il subs itued for Slavery, this
outrageous Rebellion will be the fret instance In
history where God has tunnel the wikedDess of men
into blessing; nor will tie example of Sampson
stand alone when be gathered honey out Of the
carcass Of the dead and rotten lion.
Pardon me if sIeak only in hints, and do not
stop 60 argue explain. Not now, in the close OF
