bama. In country thus thinly peopled, and
on the forsaken plantations OF the traitors,
thousands - and, if necessary, hundreds OF
thousands-of contrabands could be settled at
slight expense for transportation. The steam-
ers already on the Southern Coast could carry
them BY tens of thousands to their destination
by short voyages from any of the rebel ports.
The climate of Florida is peculiarly adapted to
the negro, beyond any other part of the con-
tinen!, and the soil, though much of it is light
and sandy, is abundantly productive of all that
the slaves have been accustomed to require as
the necessares of life. Cattle and swine are
raised in immense numbers, and so cheaply
that the average price of cattle is less than
So per head. Fish and turtle are found in
the greatest prOfuson, and tho banana, the
arrow.roOt, the cassava, and other semi
tropical productions, can be cultivated in all
the southern part of the peninsula. There is,
in short, no part Of the United States so
suitable for the negro as Florida In climate
and soil, and certainly there Is no part 80 well
situated for the purpose Of drawing of the
black race from the rest of the country and
concentrating it in territory by itself, out
of the way of the whites. For time the
Territory might DO governed by martial law

the South would warrant Congress 10 devlsIng

EARLY OFFENSIVE ACTIoN.-The Washing
ton correspondent of the New York World
says;
But now wish to ask your attention to
two opinions, freely expressed by thoughtful
people, which have most serious bearing on
the probabilities of the fall compaign.
!. 1t is believed by many that the rebels,
aware of their own limited means of retreat
before the onset of an army so thoroughly
equipped as our own, are sending daily one
or two regiments 10 Richmond, and west
ward, and are merely keeping up a feint in
front to delay our progress. That, If attacked,
they will renew the Bull Run method of de-
Tense and whip us if they can; but that they
hope we will not attack them.
2. Men of high standing, thoroughly
familiar with the country between Washing
ton and Richmond, say that if our army does
not go forward at once it can not go forward
at all. If the rains and frost set in at the
usual time, the clayey mud between Fairfax
and the Rappshannock will be utterly i'm
passable for wagons and artillery-Will pre-
sent barrier more formidable than noun
tain ranges. This condition lasts through
the winter; the soil Of the region being SUI
gene7is, and the climate that one of half-rigor
so opposed to military movements. The
rebels may be counting on all this. They
know every inch and quality of their own
ground, and will avail themselves of its ad-
Vsntages in the most adroit manner.
These ideas support the theory that our Of
fensive will and must be vigorously pushed
at once.

INDIAN AFFAIRS IN NEW MEXICO AND ARR
zoNA.-The Indian Agent for New Mexico
has Just arrived at Washington, direct from
that Territory. Previous to his departure
all the principal men of the Navajo Indians
came to Santa Fe and made treaty of peace
with the Government, with the exception of
those of Arizona, where small force of
Texans have possession, through the treach-
cry of Colonel Loring. The National force
therein, under Colonel Canby, who COM
mands that Military Department, is from
twelve to fifteen hundred, while the citizens
have raised three full regiments. Mr.. Stock
reports the people as loyal to a man. The
object of the rebels is represented as being to
seizns the Government stores rather than to
endeavor to conquer the country. There
were no disturbances on the plains, and when
Mr.. Stock was passing over them the Indians
were in the best possible humor, from the
fact of their receiving presents and annuities

THE GRAND LODGE OF MAsoNs OF OHIO ON
THE REBELLIoN.-The following resolutions
were unanimously adopted at the annual
session of the Grand Lodge just closed at
Columbus;
l. ResolVed: That this Grand Lodge OF
Free and Accepted Masons regards the doc
trine of secession as advocated by q contrary
class of American politicians as a monstroIs
absurdity. If facquiesced in, the Constitution
of the United States would become felo de Sc.
2. ResolVed' That in this present un-
natural contest, the institution of Free Ma
sonry has no attribute that can take side with
rebellion.
3. ResoIUed; That it is the duty Of every
worthy Mason, in this hour of peril, to stand
by the General Government even at the ex.
pense of fortune and life; that the blessings
of constitutional liberty and union, as handed
down to us by our fathers, may be enjoyed
by us in our day and generation, and bC
transmitted unimpaired to our pOsterity tor

Hn,t,-rhe Lesson 1t Tenche..

Y Hayti presents fair example of the effects
of a servile insurrection promoted by the
action of a Government contrary to the will
ofthe master class; and if its history fur
nishes any reasons in favor of repetition of
the process, they ought to be known. The
French colony, which was the western half
of the island, was, from l776 to 1889, in the
hight of its prosperity. sits productions p
says the Encyclopedia Americana-"were i'm
mense and valuable, and its commerce in the
most fourishing state. In 1871 an insur-
Iection broke out in the French colony. In
two months upward of two thousand whites
persisted, and large districts of fertile planta-
tions were devastated" In 1872, the eman-
cipation of the slaves was proclaimed; and
June 81, 1898, negro chief, Macays, entered
Cape Francois at the head of three thousand
slaves, and began an indiserimlnste slaugh-
ter"
After the deportation OF Toussaint
L'Ouverture who conquered and united the
whole island, Dessalines, a black chief of the
insurrection, became the Governor for life.
He assumed the purple and the title of
Jacques, Emperor of Hsyti. "His tyranny
rendered him universally detested, and he
was slain by military conspiracy October,
1906" Christophe, his second in command,
and Petion, another chief then commenced
struggle which was long and fierce. Spain
repossessed herself of the east part of the
island during the strife, and the west was
divided between Christophe and Petion
with some minor provinces holden by others
Christophe made himself an Emperor under
the title of Henry I. "He was an aYariciouE
and cruel despot, and perished in a military
revolution in October, 1920" Petion was
a good magistrate, and continued in Office
until his death.
In 1921, Boyer became master of the whole
island, and was an amiable, but weak chief
magistrate, until lS42, when a revolution
broke out against his power and compelled
him TO fee; and soon afterward the inhabit-
ants of the East rose against the Haytiens

selves into an independent State, under the
style of the Dominican Republic. The pre-

Coal OIL FOR PAINT.-An important dis
covery is announced. 1t consists in thu sub
stitution of oil for turpentine, in the pre-
paration of paint. Experiments have proved,
it is said that coal-oil is equal, if not superb
or, to turpentine for this purpose. Pigments
ground and mixed with it are found to dry
as well, and without the slightest injury to
color; white mixed with it retains all its
as "hatting," it not only works easier and
smoother than turpentine, but gives a su-
perior flush, owing to its greater density and
ductility. The present scarcity and high
price of turpentine renders this discovery, if
further experiment sustains it, important in
the highest degree.

ANOTHER ARRIVAL FROM THE SoUTH.-Mr.
William F. Springer, well-known builder
of this city, returned from Charlotte, N. c.,
on Monday night, after an absence of several
months, portion Of which time he spent in
prison in Charlotte. Mr.. Springer went
South before the secession Of North Caro-
lima, to build house for Elk Governor More
head. Before he could complete the contract
the workmen he had taken with him were
either driven away or pressed into the rebel
service, and he was finally arrested on the
charge Of being Union man and thrown
into prison. When it was concluded to lib
crate him, his head was partly shaved and he
was required to leave at once, which he was
not slow in doing. He came home by the
way of Tennessee, after numerous detentions
and escapes from violence, the cars having
been searched for Northern men at various
stations. Mr.. Springer represents the people
in Charlotte to be in an almost starving con-
dition. Provisions of all kinds are high, and
money scarce. The Southern soldiers that
be saw on his way home were many of them
in rags, and some of them had worn the soleS
off their boots and tied the uppers under theiI

Thursday night, October II, 1861. !
A rumor prevails here that Ben McCulloch
and Sterling Price had a violent quarrel on
Monday, near 0sceola and that many of the
rebels taking sides with their chiefs, some
twenty were killed and and thirty or forty
wounded. This is doubtless sensation
cdndTd.
A report is current that foraging party
of three hundred rebels were recently at
tackled by about ninety Home Guards and
completely routed.
Some man who pretends to have come
from Versailles, says that General Sigels
command was attacked last night and cut off
by about ten thousand rebels, forty miles west
of that point. This statement is ridiculously
absurd, and the party giving the information
is supposed to be a rebel disguised with
liquor.
A scout arrived from Cedar County recon
firms the intelligence of the sending of rifed
cannon up White River, for General Price.
He says the guns have already been landed
at Forsyth.
The number of sick soldiers has greatly
increased here within day or two, owing to
a change in the weather. There are now
over four hundred on the sick list at this
point

The Madison Courier understands that DR..
VIM. A. Bowles, of Orange County, Indiana,
who obtained an infamous notoriety by at
tempting to destroy the reputation of his
own regiment in the Mexican War, is now
busily engaged in endeavoring to diSsuade
young men from volunteering in the service
of their country. Several who had already
volunteered in bis neighborhood were in
duced to leave the ranks through his repre-
sentations. Language is not strong enough
to denounce such conduct on the part of a
citizen of loyal State, and he deserves as
much to be restrained of his liberty as any
other traitor.

sKkrcn or JAMEs N. MASON.

James M. Mason is a native of Virginia,
and was born near Washington, November B,
1893 He graduated in 1918 at the University
of Pennsylvania, and soon after commenced
the study of the law at William and Mary's
College. He was admitted to practice in 1920,
after short probation in the office OF Benl.
Watkins Leigh, at Richmond. In 1926 his
political career commenced with his election
to the House of Delegates. Declining re-
election to this position he was chosen q
member OF the House of Representatives
from the district composed of Frederick and
Shenandoah Counties, and in lS47 was
elected by the Virginia Legislature to the
United States Senate-a position to which
he had been successively elected every term
since, and was to hold until next year. On
the breaking out of the present difficulties he
took prominent part in their development,
and was chosen to the Confederate Congress
from the Eighth District of Virginia. During
his term of office in the United States Senate
he was Chairman of the Committee on For
eign Affairs, and was thoroughly posted on
all matters connected with our foreign rela-
tions.
SKETCH OF JOHN sLIDELL.
John Slidell is a native of New York State,
where he was born about the year 1893.
Going to New Orleans ITO seek his fortune"
he was enabled with the education which he
had previously received to rise rapidly in
hislegal studies, and was admitted soon after.
His first public position was that of United
States District Attorney at New Orleans, to
which position he was appointed by Presi-
dent (General) Jackson. He was elected fire.
quently to the State Legislature, and while a
member Of Congress was appointed Minister
Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extraordinary to
Mexico, as last means of averting the war
which was just then on the point of breaking
out with that country. His mission, it is
almost needless to state, was fruitless. SEN
ator Slidell was an ardent partisan Of the
Americanization project for the absorption
Of the Spanish, Mexican and Indian races by
the Anglo. Saxon, and partially for this reason
was appointed by President Pierce United
States Minister to Central America. He SUBJ
sequently succeeded Soule in the Senate,
when the latter was appointed Minister to
Madrid, and held that position when Louis.
lana seeded. He was offered the Minister
ship to Paris by Buchanan, but declined, un-
doubtedly because he had plenty, to attend
to at home. He is now member of the
rebel Congress from Louisiana.
