Mr. Stewards Letter and Emancipa-

On the whole Mr.. Stewards letter to Earl Rus
sell was good diplomatic document for the time
il was written; and although subsequent reverSeS
to our arms, brought about by the flnatical and
corrupt leaders, somewhat impair the force OF the
main argument, it is nevertheless highly credta-
bic to the Secretary OF State. But there is a
weak spot in il, and it would have been better for
the interests of the republic if it had not seen the
light. The foresbadowing of universal emanci-
patton may do very well to influence foreign gov
ernments, or to hold out as bugbear to frighten
the rebels; but none knows better than Mr.. Sew
ard himself that practically this "stone in the
sleeve" is of no avail. The rebels are now made
too familiar with it to be alarmed, just the
birds in the fields become accustomed to the scare
crow and no longer lear it, If ever they dreaded
it they do not now, having had already experience
OF about the worst we can do in that way, thanks
to the foolish policy of the last Congress.
1t is idle for Mr. Seward or anybody else to hold
out threats of what we will do in a certain con
tingency. Let the contingency be first realized,
and then it will be time enough to consider what
we will do thereafter. FOR our own part we hold
that if succeed in establishing the authority of
the Federal Government over the rebellOus States
it will not then be necessary to resort TO emanci
patton; and, even if the Constitute permitted
Us to ADOPT such measure it would be the die
tate of extreme folly. But to announce before
hand that we will do this thing IN the event OF our
is still absurd; for it is only holding
out premium to a continued resistance, and like
hosting a black flag, to make the South fight
with desperation. The effect upon the border
slave States now in the Union would be disastrous
in the extreme Instead of having Delaware.
Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri as friends, we
would soon have TO count them foes, and thus
the difficulties Of ultimate success would be mul
tiplied.
Mr.. Seward is too able man not to see that the
threat of universal emancipation is only brutum
fuIlen to the Southern Confederacy. and that no
thing will suffice to bring it to reason but hard
knocks. The rebels regard negro emancipation
as little the whisting of a northwester. and the
only important effect would have on them would
be the new argument it would furnish their jour
mails and demagogues to in6ame the passions of
the Southern peopeagainst =" Lincolns govern
ment." 1t would be adding fuel to the fire al
ready kinded while, in a military point of view,
it would utterly fail. and render no assistance to
our arms.-N. Y. Herald

Released.

We learn that the four gentlemen of this
ty who were arrested by military authorty--an
account of which We published last week-have
been released. They returned to their homes on
Saturday morning last. We learn they we're
taken to st. Louis, at which place Col. Richard
son and Senator Browning demanded in behalf
of the accused, an investigation into the charges
on which they were arrested. This was at first
refused by the military commander, but he at
length acceded TO the request. On this examina-
ton not man nor thief appeared to sustain the
accusations, ano they were consequently dis
charged We understand that some twenty OF
thirty men had united in making the charges
against Mr.. Graves and the others, but not one
of them had the courage to come face 10 face
with those whose regulations, and perhaps lives.
they attempted to destroy. These fellows were
very valiant and very positive that Graves and
the others had committed some very heinous
crime: they can have these gentlemen arrested
and conveyed hundreds of miles from home and
immured in a military prison, no doubt believing
that their completely in the matter would never
be known. And had il not been for the part
taken by Richardson and Browning, their nefar
ious schemes would probably have been success
full. These fellows are all Republicans, and no
doubt talk hugely about their patriotism and
their honesty, and how all bad men in the COM
munity ought to be punished. and no doubt some
of them thank God that they are not other
men are Their names are all known, however,
and it NAV be some of them will vet gain more
notoriety than they bargained for Hacomb

Brig. Gen. r. " JOHNSON thus closes the re
port Of his late attack upon the rebel MORGAN
cavalry at Gallatin:
regret to report that the conduct of the Off
GERS and men, as a general thing, was shameful
in the lowest degree, and the greater portion of
those who escaped will remember that they did so
BY shsmeiuily abandoning their General on the
battlefield, while, if they had remained like true
and brave men, the result of this conflict would
have been quite different.

action TO mention the names of those whose con-
duct was meritonous in the highest degree. Ny

prisoner early in theaction. Capt. Star, with his

The EXCHANGE or PRIsosKRs-lt has been
ascertained that we have in our possession very
large excess of prisoners over the number OF our
own men in the hands of the rebels. This ap-
plies TO both officers and enlisted men. In pur-
suance Of the agreement for general exchange,
Gen. Thomas has forwarded to the South about
fourteen thousand rebel prisoners, officers and
privates. This will leave large balance TO our
credit in the exchange account

friend of ours, who had taken pride for several
years in cultivating full crop of hair on the
face, was called away from home on business
some time since. While absent, an inexperienced
barber spoiled his whiskers in trimming them.
which so chagrined him that he directed the
barber to make clean job of it by shaving whis-
kers and mustache both of. The barber obeyed,
aud our friends face was as smooth and as deli
cate as when in his teens. He returned home in
the night. Next morning his little girl did not
recognize him on waking up. Looking over her
mother, and seeing as she supposed stranger in
the bed, she remarked in her childish simplicity,
