Colonization Of the Contraband9.
- fFrnn fhe N = T1hupa7


The easiest, THE most humane, the most poll
TIC disposition of the contrabands, would be
to place them in Florida under the permanent
protection Of the United States. Our forces
can easily take possession Of Florida, which
Is the weakest, and, from it's remote and pen
lnsular situation, the most defense1ess Of the
slave States. By occupying the excellent bar-
bar Of Fenandina at the northeastern extremi-
t. of the State, We should have an impreguab1e
and convenient base Of operations for driving
out the rebels, and for Introducing the Gberat-
Cd negroes from the Atlantic coast: On the
and Tampa offer cqnal facilities for the fugi-
tives from Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,
and Texas, *1o will sooner or later seek the
protection OF our military and naval forces.
All these places should be occupied and held
BY adequate garrisons until the end Of the
war.
Florida, as punishment for rebellion, might
be reduced from its rank as State, and re-
stored to its original condition Of 4 Territory,
By repeating the act Of Congress which made
it State. Tint act being repealed, the coun-
States, fairly purchased by them from Spain,
and having no claim to independence. What
ever may be the result of the present war, the
United States, even if compelled to acknouI-
edge the independence Of the rest Of the rebel
States, should hold on to Florida for political
and stlategetical reasons; Its position at the
entrance Of the Gulf Of Mexico, and its fine
harbo1s, especially Key West and Pensacola,
make it's possession of infinite value to Us as q
maritime and commercial nation It's import
ance haa always been felt By our wisest states
men, and its value would be iinmeasu1ably
enhanced by the establishment Of the South
ern Confedcracy as rival On our southern
border. To weaken that risa1 if nc fail in sub

On between Captain Griffin, Of Grifin's bat

the battle Of Bull Run. The capture of Grif-

on the i'll fatcd day, and Capt. Griffin has al
why's boldly proclaimed that the loss Of his
guns was the result Of IN unmi1itazy order Of
Maj, Barry, who, as reward for his b1under,
has since been made Brigadier. The severe
nature Of Capt. Grifhn's charges, and the sup

Especial Correspondence Of the Chicago Tribune.1
ST. LOUIS. Dec. q 1851.
The recent General Order (No. 49, impos-
ing more stringent regulations upon the op-
erations Of sccessioniEts, continues to attract
attention and eToke discussion among tinaid
Unionists and sccessionists. It's vigorous tone
suits the outrand-out Union men TO the letter,
and since the day Of Fremont'a famous procla-
nation, no event has put the friends Of the
Government in such good spirits as this iden-
tical Order No. Is. The justice Of retaliatins
the outrages Of rebels in Missouri upon the
Union men Of the Southwest By quartering
crs here, is admitted By every one. Unfortu-
natcly the execution Of this part Of the order
has been turned over to the Sanitary Comnis-
sion-a very benevolent, and in their sphere
very energetic body Of mon; but at the same
time, while acknowledging their usefulness,
it must be said they lack backbone sufficient
to carry out the spirit Of Gen. Halleck's inten-
tions. Two Of this Committee will be recog-
nized rs equal to the emergency, butthe three
others would submit to almost auyth1ng be-
fore resorting to such an;extzeme measure Is
seizing secessionlsts house and furniture to
nake.-a Union refugee comfortable. The
house belonging to Trnsten Polk WAS taken

The enat tment Of fhe-bill 80 ably SUD
ported By Senate Trumbul1, would, though
it might offend the tendcr-foo1ed Enionists
Of the Border States. give unalloyed salts
faction to nine out Of every ten men Of the
North. And what is hardly less, it would
50 Simplify the duties Of the commanders
Of our armies that without wilful wicked
ness and disobedience, they could not go
wrong. Half Of these-more than that
proportion in the regular army-believc, or
act as if they believed, that the quickest
way to squelch treason is to cherish its
cause and strengthen its right hand. AL
such imagine that Heaven lies way OF
South somewhere, and that when they die
they will 60 in that direction, and Of course,
will need when they gel there, il for no
other rurpoac, to have somebody around
whom they can swear at for fun and kick
when they are out Of humor, As we un-
derstand the temper Of a majority Of the
officers Of the regular service, they are not
to lie trusted with discretionary power in
this matter Of slavery. Too many Of them
arc yet in doubt whether they love slavery
or the onion most; and no one thus be-
logged, has, go far as We know, permitted
any act Of his to give the former any cause
Of apprehension. With few honorable
exceptions, they all need Il law behind
them to insure their action whenever the
institution" is to be acted upon: and Sena-
tor Trunbull's hin is not whit TOO strin-
gent. As soon as the gentlemen in lace
learn that the nation is in earnest, those Of
them who do not resign, will, their pay and
commissions being at stake, suddenly learn
that Freedom Is not so bad a thing after all.

them Only these insisted On imposing upon their
ing secrets Of the Government which should have

It is q pity to spoil 60 well told a lie as the
aboye. In the first place, the full unabridged
Report Of the Secretary Of War was published
in the Baltimore San Of Wednesday morning,
December 9TH, and more than three thousand
copies Of it Eere circulated in Washington be-
fore 9 a. H., Of that day. Is the Sun d i" shame
less abolition shcet:' On the contrary, it,
like the Chicago Times, is RS pro-slavery and
secession as it dare be.
But the best Of the joke is, that the Times
itself published the Report, Including the ex-
Plunged parts, on the same morning that it ap-
peared in this paper. 1t thus "insisted Oh i'm
posing upon its readers document that was
not real,'' and but for its "knavish refusal to
suppress tho expunged parts'' the secrets Of
the Government would "ha7e remained un-
coyered'' to many Of its readers. The Times
fights like the clown armed with hail-who
cracked his own pate instead Of hitting his foe.
Finally, it is sufficient answer to The scuryy
remarks OF the Chicago edition Of the Detroit
Fize Press, that re we're not even aware that
any part Of the Report had been "expunged"
when it appeared in the columns Of the TR1-
BuSE, and We were not requested by the Post
master General or any other man, to return

The wounded bird f1utters, and We are
glad to sec it. Officers like Gen. Smith of
Paducah, and we wish he were the only
one Of lis class now in the field, start out
with a sublime indifference as to public
opinion. They are not to be moved by
what stirs other mortals popularity is
nothing to them, they have no favors to
ask. And this is really excellent, when it
means strict adherence to the right it is
noble when it is in defiance Of popular
clanaor for the wrong. But when an officer
plants himself upon wrong standpoint,
takes up policy at variance with the pop
ular sense Of right and justice, and then
from his position claims immunity from
criticism, detics ccnsure, and scorns the
people, it is quite another matter. And
Gen. Smith has come to discover he has
cuticle, if we can judge from the 1abored
efforts put forth in lis defence.
The facts in his case are simply these:
To start with, it is with him 4 greater
crime to hate slavery than to scheme for
the ruin Of the Government He can in
his conversations with known sympathizcra
with the rebellion, find with them COM
mon topic Of censyre in the Frecdonl-loy-
ing sentiment Of the country, He has ever
ha1shcr word for an Abolitionist than for
rebel AS consequence, he has no heart
in the war, No orders are given BY him
that lie can escape that ma ; give oHense to
the rebels, He aims at winning position
among Kentucky sympathizers and coop
orators with treason wherein he NAV he
rcchoncd by them as man fur above the
purposes Of war, quite above the greasy,
dirty Yankee troops he leads, who would
be all the worse for the section in which
| they are quartcred, were it not for "that
dear man, General Smith"
Look at the evidence, which is conclu-
siyc on every point. Rebels, outspoken in
hostility to the Onion, are protected; seces-
sion flags are protected !; rebel property is
protected. or passed on its way through the
lines. Nothing is done to harm the rebels,
and aslittle as possible to disturb the pleasant
tca-party relations which it is the command
er's pride and pleasure to hold with open
plotters against the Government. What
is the consequence, but that disgust and
distrust Of their commander pc1vades bis
entire force? It comes to us from every
source. Our Cincinnati and st. Louis ex,
changes are full Of it, and the omens are
tee1ning and abundant that the Cnior
cause cannot prosper in Kentucky with
such leaders. When is there to be s
change? Is this war? Are VIC to have

Gen. Hal1cck himself Tor at least his friends
for him) profess to be ashamed Of the negro
Order No. 8, and have laid the blame upon
some "higher authority at Washington.
The Washington correspondent Of the New
York Times, however, denies it on behalf Of
anybody in that city, saying:
1t is understood that Gen. Halleck, in the issue
Of hiR o1ders respecting fugitive slaves, followed
Ms own Judgment, and not any SPECIFIC tnstr1c-

are lst to their own discretion as to the manner
question. 4 Is evident that such is the case with
the INSTRUCTIONS to Generals Dix, Sherman and
HallcCk.' Tho call made upon the Secretary Of
Var for the orders Of Halieek will probably dis
close this fact.
We hope it may disclose it, 80 far at least as
Halleck's order is concerned, and that the rc-
sponsibilty may rest where it belongs, either
in Washington or st. Louis.
