ONE OFFICER LOYAL TO FREEDOM
Colonel Halbert E. Paine, of the Fourth
Michigan volunteers, now at Baton
Rouge, was arrested by order of General
Williams for disobedience of orders. The
General had commanded all negroes to
be turned out of our lines. Col. Paine
wrote him a note, stating that by act of
Congress any officer aiding in returning
a fugitive slave would be cashiered. and
that this excluding of negroes from our
lines was virtually restoring them, as
their claimants were ready to seize them
on the instant. He therefore could not
obey the order, and must abide the con-
sequences.

CArRo, July s.-The steamer Sunshine, which
arrived to day, brings news from Vicksturg to

was continued, and the town was deserted ex-

The news from White River, Arkansas, Is not

No relief has reached Gen. Sturgis. The whole
country bordering on the White river Ia report
ed to be In arms, except those persons who
have fed from the operations Of the conscrip-

manner. Our boats are frequently fred on
from the shore.
The Little Rock Gas tie Of the 28,h ultimo,
says the Fsderals have evacuated Indian Bay,
st. Charles, and the whole lower part Of White
river, and gone In the direction Of Memphis.

Hon. Mr.. Diven On the Use Of Negroes 4,
Oar Army.
Mr. Dlven, Of New York, who has heretoior'
acted with the border State men, took th'
House by surprise on Monday last, by defend
log the policy Of making use Of the southerr
negroes against the rebels. His remarks yer,
SO pertinent and 90 sensible, that We cheerful
ly give place 10 them. As quoted from tht
Globe, he said:
groes In the Southern States should be employ.

United States. know II to be the fsot that
this Government 10 10 day supporting over ten
thousand black men Mt the expense Of It's Treas.
ury. Those black men ara rendering no equiv.
alent for that support. Their masters have
left them upon their estates In the South, and
whero our armies have been successful ard
have occupied these bstatss, they have come
70 our camps for support. and we have taken
them under our protection and are afording
them sustenance and protection. say that We
ought 10 make them render an equivalent. ]
say that We ought to muster them into our ser.
vice, and employ them in our trenches and In
30 that they may help to maintain the con.
quests thatwe have made"
~ say that 1t 10 the duty Of the Government
to employ them. because unless they are or.
ganized and Drought into state OF systematic
discipline, very soon they will become disUr
dsrly, and band themselves together, and no
one can foresse what outrages they will perpe.
trate upon the country which Is left to them.
For that reason they should be organized and
disciplined. There is this further reason: that
the season Is approaching when white men
cannot exist In these torrid latitudes, and they
sioud be trained to defend and protect the po.
sitiOns that we have taken. under tho guidance
Of army ofioers, and under the rules and dis.
cipine Of war;"
In accordance with these views, Mr.. Diven
prepared q bill, which provided that black
men should be thus employed. They are 10
receive the pay Of common soldiers, and por.
tion Of that pay to be taken for the support Of
the women and children, who have been
brought into camp, and who are dependent
upon them for support. All this Is very well,
but the bill further provides, that when the
war Is over, and we have no further use for
these men, no matter how valiant they may
have been, or how much they may have accom-.
plished, they shall bs transported to some for.
sign colony-a most inhumau and hesrtless
proposition.

STATED,

srArnD.
Mr.. Chandler, the chairman OF the Committee
on the Conduct Of the War, stated in the Senate,
on Monday, that the Army OF the Potomsc,
commanded by Gen. Mcclellan, amounted 10
230.O 900 men when Manassas was evacuated
Also, that the Secretary OF War was opposed TO-,
aud resisted until overrulel, the policy Of ad-
vancing upon Richmond BY way Of York river
and the Peninsula.
That policy was an eminently absurd one, AZ
we showed the other day, although II might
have resulted lees disastrous,y Il II had been
managed with more vigor. 1t Ia believed here
that the President did not incline 10 this policy,
but acquiesced in II reluctantly, and out Of def.
erence to the military chiefs
Senator Chandler maintains that direct ad
vance upon Richmond would have resulted In
Its capture In two weeks, and with little tight
ing or loss.
After the evacuation Of Manassas, Gen. Nc
Clellan's command was reduced.
The troops which he took down to the Pc.
ninsula, added to those already there, together
with the reinforcemeuts sent him afterwards
and prior to the late battles In front Of Rich.
moud, amount TO (at least) one hundred and
sixty thousand men.
Those who eau satisfy themselves what effec
tive force Gen. Mcclellan bad 10 the recent
battles near Richmond, can determine, by an
easy process Of subtraction, how many Of bis
men were struck down by the diseases Of the
terrible swamps Of the Peninsula, and are now
either dead or langushing In hospitals.
As to the Michigan regiments in the PENN
sula, numbering at the outset seven thousand
meu, Senator Chandler says they have half dis
appeared from effective service, and are either
dead or sick.
Whether that is an extraordinary proportion,
our readers must judge for themselves, by
enquiry a. 10 their own respective States.
This is not very pleasant subject TO dwell
upon, but Nr. Feessnden laid down great
principle Of American politics in bis speech 10
the Senate yesterday, when he ssid that The
,o0y to deal toih the american people Is 10 tel
them he Truth, and never to dist,ust either their
Intelligence or their patriotism.
