THE SLAVE INTEREST.

JUdicious rules should be established for the
protection and removal of al least the male slaves
from those portions Of the State that are surTen-
dered TO the enemy The labor of slaves is
needed for many purposes connected with the
operations and movements of the army, and they
could be employed advsntageOusly aud profitably
both TO the master and the government If the
male slaves were Withdrawn with the amy, the
enemy would have 10 labor with which to cult
vate the land, OF which they could apply to any
other practical use And besides, if the males
were Withdrawn, the females and the children
would most probably remain, as the labor OF
these latter would not compensate the enemy for
their maintenance
The loss to the citizens Of Virginia IN tbs item
Of slave property alone. far exceeds the loss from
the destruction of cotton, any other species Of
property, during the war Counties IN Virginia
have been oveuuD, containing an aggregate slave
population of 60,72c, by the late census and
which, at moderate valuation is roTsh, il
round numbers, S45. 600 coo Such a loss should
not be permitted to fall upon a people, if il csu
~ any proper means be prevented
If, therefore, our officers, when thers Is Issson
tc believe that they viii be compelled to abandon
position, would notify the owners Of slaves to
remove them, OF report them al camp Tor the per
tormance Of such service as may be assigned to
them, most severe loss in this particular proper
ty would be avoided
