Vania e9iment reached the battle field on Satur.
day AID commenced the interment Of number
OF dead, which have been uldisturbed since the
battle, except by the thievng hands Of the rebels,
who searched everv pocket, and In many instances
stripped the dead Of their clothing.
The Union officers taken prisoners in the late
battle were detained at Gainesville until Friday
last, when they were all conducted to Richmond,
with tbs exception OF some of the more severely
wounded, who were, by the humanity Of Dr..
Guild, Medical Director Of Gen. Lee allowed to

THE NATURAL FRUITS OF
SECESSION.

TIL, Memphis Union appeal aiiirms that the
Rebel resistance in the Southwest has almost
wholly degenerated into the wholesale robbery
and murder of friend and foe. Throughout
the immense country through which Curtis
Travelled, guerIilias swarmed, devouring and
belouIlng all they light upon. The evils which
these desperadocs are inlicting upon their own
native States are incalculable, and unless they
are soon cxtcrminated, they will have sue
cecdcd in reducing the country To dreary
waste, where the more civilized bear and
panther viii soon resume their abode. Tire

WHAT Is NEEDED, AND WHY

The " y. Times giles the obviously true
construction OF the Confiscation Act when,
after quoting The ninth section, it says;
Thi. f. very sveepn, provision. and set. bsoa,sy
zee al those ave- Of Rebel matters, who may bring them
selves be brought By the men, oi our sres within
the operation Of the law livery slave who shall coIae within
our 1eeyery slave who may be captured by our soldiers
o. ao nay he ogud any lace occupied by our roops-i'
DECLARED 70 NEE 20 proclamation Of the President
i. needed give this law eject. II eIecaeA itself ~
10 dsy the iag OF the and AID every slave belonging 90
Rebel master entitled to the benefit q ia provisions
Jni fast therefore armies move south~sd do they
carry freedom with them Slavery snno eI' IA the wake
Of our soldiers The w frees the slave upon every foot CT
southern ,o wherever that o covered again BY the ag
Of Inc United states"
True as this is, it does not obviate the
necessity for plaia frank, hearty, outspoken
Executive recognition and proclamation of the
fact that snch is The iow IF the land, which all
Military, Naval and Civil officers are required
TO respect and obey. Half our Army officers
are VIGOROUSLY in more or less thorough SYM
patty, if not with the Rebellion overt, at all
events with It's melting cause. They are
anxious that the War shall be 20 delicately
prosecuted that, whatever else may result
from 1t, Slavery shall receive the least possible
harm. These men viii not recognize and obey
the now law unless it is officially promulgated
and brought to their notice in an Executive
Proclamation or War Order Probably not
one in hundred OF them has at this moment
any official knowledge that such an act has
been passed They are not obliged TO obey an
act Of which they have no other knowledge
than may have reached them through the col
umns OF newspaper. Men who have been
much more anxious about hunting back and
making over the fugitive slaves OF Rebels than
taking Rebels prisoners cannot be reasonably
expected TO search newspapers for new and I'M
welcome acts OF Congress
The Rebels are quite aware OF the new act
their slaves generally are not. Pro.Slayery
Army officers may know that it exists; they
do not know that they are under obligation to
obey it to the letter. We ask the President
to make their path of duty so plain that the
waylaring man, though a West Pointer, can
not mistake it. No Rebel will hate us worse
nor oppose us more bitterly because We faith
fully honor and enforce our own laws.

IMPLEMENTS TO PEACE.

1t is noteworthy that no single journal or
other oracle in all JEFF. Days's dominions talks
Of Peace. Nobody who IS anybody in that re-
gion seems to want Peace. They curse the
North for invading their country, and propose
to invade the North at the earliest possible
moment. They wonder why we can't let other
people alone, and denounce British and French
forbearance to intermeddle in our quarrel. But
no emissary comes from Richmond with pro-
posals of peace; nobody in his dominions asks
him to send one. On tie contrary, all the talk
that way is of war, carnage, revenge, and the
humiliation of the detested North.
Now, the leaders Of the Rebellion, though
great criminals, are not fools. They fully com
prehend the advantage they could gain By
seeming anxious for peace Their sympathizers
in the loyal States and their partisans in Eu-
rope would ring the changes on it with I'M
mense effect But they see also that they can
not nOm afford to make peaoo; and they dare
not make oyertures that might possibly (they
fancy be accepted. Hence they are constrained
to avoid even the appearance of seeking peace,
and push on the war with all their power.
: But why could they not make fent Of
wishing peace
Because 10 Do 80 would dissipata illusions

TEE MEDIATION QUESTION IN TEhE
CONGRESS- OF sOyEREfGNs.

Private letters, it is said, have been received
bv members of the Foreign Legations
- WASHINGTON. in which it is assert
ed tNat tho opinion in European d'pio'
matte circles. is that Louis Napoleon
GOES TO the Congress of soyereigns, to be held
at Berlin, with the firm intention OF bringing
obout if nossib,e, settlement of the American
question. He has already been ADVISED oy
several Princes Of Germany, and by Mr'
scbmerling. the Secretary Of State oil Prussia
that Germon manufacturer and merchants
hive memorialized the ZollNereln upon the
lamentabe condition of the manu-. aclurins ui'-
tricts and of trade in general, Playing tha1
action may be taken for the rcssn a''oh .,
peace to this country. Louis Napoleon VIII
probably avail himself Of this fact to inn 'oss
upon the Emperor of Russia and the hIDg Vi
Prussia the necessity of taking in hand 'he
American question, aud not to separate before
coming to an agreement concerning it.
Persons claiming TO be i'll the confidence oil
the Emperor are OF the opinion that ne goes
TO Berlin with a plan already matured, the
obcc. of which is to propose collective me-
diat;on in American affairs by the Emperor OF
Rus,ia. the King Of Prussia and himself. lie
exuec,s that the moral iorce when docu-
meut of that kind signed by the three most
powerful potentates OF Europe VIII exercise
upon the American people will be sufficient 10
bring American difficulties 10 an end. IL Is
said. also. that the offer OF mediation VIII
contain n clause in which France, Russia, ana
prussia will reserve to Themselves the righI oi
recognizing the South should their friendly IN
terpositon in American affairs be rejected 4by
the Government OF the United States.
Such. We are assured, on good authority,
are the adyces received by The representatives
OF European Powers al Washington. IL re-
mains for this Government - decide whether
il will put the war upon such footing as 10
bar all interference by word or deed on the
part OF the Emperors. L. is in Tie President
power "a give such blow to tho rebellion, In
strict accordance with the law, IS shall sug-
ge.t 10 European powers the prudence OF
keeping their hands out OF this contest or, II
they interfere at all, the wisdom OF addressing

GENERAL NEWS.

Another straw. Richard Hyatt got on q Brook
lyn railway car few days ago. He offered a 81
bill to pay his fare. The conductor would not
change it, and put him out, using violence. Hyatt
sued the conductor. The Court decided in lis favsr
and fined the conductor $40. The man Hyatt was
negro. Held by the Court: Conductors have no
right to kick men in the rbs, even though they are
