City It has prominence which is not enjoyed
by any other town in Nevada Territory We

high character it has abroad. There is no
better index to the prosperity of a city than
its local newspapers We have observed that

duced in size, and upon examination we find it
pretty barren of advertisements. Judging from
the columns OF the Age there are only thirty
two business men in the place, including mer-
chants, attorneys, saloon keepers, and all other
classes. Upon comparing the papers publish

the Union, this step, however, having become
necessary, is taken and the Administration

How long it may be thought advisable to con
tinue such o semi-terrtoral Government in
Tennessee, it Is impossible now to predict with
any degree Of accuracy may be xix weeks
and it may DO six months. But whether for a
onqer or a shorter time, the principle Of the
act is precisely the same And the course Of
the Government in this instance as in the re-
c)gntion Of Western Virginia as State, and IN
the treatment Of Gamble as the real Governor
Of Missouri instead of the fugitive jackson, re
ceyes the cordial approval Of loyal men every

welcomed than n the State which it immedl-

Mcclellan are just now clarifying their chieftan
on account of the bloodless victory at Manassas
They ought to have that consolation. 1t has
AIKEN their General six months to compel this
evacuation. Balls Bluff has happened in the
meantime And beside that record Of death
will these admirers Of strategy give US the num-
Der of those who have died along the Potomac
since last October? Before Gen Mcclellan is
praised for the humanity that has spared life in
suffering the rebels to escape from Manassas, let
the dreary and moumtul procession Of the dead,
who have laid their armor down in camp, pass,
and let them bear witness There are more
graves along the Potomac OF soldiers who have
died waiting for the onset, than all who have
been killed in every engagement since the war

SLAVERY IN the DIsrRIcr oy CoLuMnA The
Committees of the two Houses OF Congress have
agreed upon a bill for the abolition Of slavery
IN the District Of Columbia Since the Presi-
dents message, and the very general favor with
which It has been received Congress ought, At
least, 10 treat the almost universal sentiment OF
the loyal States as in favor of inaugurating alb
clifton wherever the Government has power
and we think nobody, except the most ultra
friends Of slavery, will deny the right and power
OF Congress to abolish slavery IN Government
territory. Therefore let us have speedy ac,lou
where The Government has power, and show that
the talk Of membersoC Congress about omanei-
phi "a aud abolition means something and eau
be made practical.

it in Congress, and they will soon oppose it ev-
crywhere. They say the President means we'll,
but he is mistaken in surprising that the thing
is practicable or desirable Slavery has been
for so long time their main stay, their only
stock in trade, they are not willing to give il
up. And they do just now praise Presi lent
Lincoln so much as they did. 1t may I've safely
predicted that they will be quiet on that subject
for II while. At present they find abundant en-
pigment in pralsing Gen Mcclellan, who has
been relieved of the command Of the army, and
has at last found out that the rebels have es.
capped from Manassas.
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1862-03-18

The rebels now say that Manassas was never
intended as defence Of Richmond, but as the
base Of operations mcnacng Washington, the
Upper Potomac, and Maryland Now, as oar
