any of those seeded States, nor in
the General Government to institute
slavery. Third, that to reduce those
emancipatcd slaves again to slavery
would only be making slaves Of free.
men.
The first endorsement, or rather cor
robOration of these positions that
came to my notice was an extract in
the Chicago Tribune, copied from the
N. Y. Evening Post, and introduced
under the caption of A new View"
This was followed by some others !;
and last of all the President fully en-
dorses the doctrine, and issues his in.
structions to some of the leading mil
itary men, based upon the same plat
form.
That the "view" is correct, and
such as no man can controvert, ev-
cry sober, honest man, will attest
But that unprinciplcd and interested
men will resist its force, and raise a
smoke to obscure its truth, and to
perpetuate slavery entire, unframed,
in the territory of the seeded States,
whenever the rebellion shall have
been crushed, is most formidable
truth. which we are to prepare to
meet with all the wisdom, skill and en-
ergy we can command. 1t must be
met in order that the measures for the
perpetual freedom of the emancipated
millions may succeed.
The present war, it may well be
said, is truly "the tug of war" But
when the insurrection is subdued, and
the political elements are gathered,
and arranged, to dispose of the great
and absorbing question, whether the
newly constructed States shall contin-
ne as slave States, or become wholly
free, and what shall he done with the
negroes, then will come the "tug"
of all "the tugs Of war" Then the
conflicting clements intcrspersed
throughout all of the free communi-
ties will be arrayed face to face-one
party contending to the teeth for the
perpctuation of slavery in the once
slave States, and the other for their
entire freedom. Then, an entirely new
issue will be raised-not the extern
sion of slavery" or non-interven-
tion," or popular sovereignty,"-but
of restitution or non-yestitution Of slave
ry. The question virtually will be
Shall the Congress of the United States
re-admit the seeded States with their
slavery ........
The whole question will poise upon
this pivot: whether their authority foi
holding men as slaves is such as to
force the obligation upon Congress to
indorsc it? Surely, no such inference
or obligation can be drawn from what
are generally understood as the com
promises of the Constitution )" and
had there been no precedent Of ma
ture to bind Congress to what may be
urged as a kindred procedure, there
would be no difficulty for the anti
slavery element of the Government
to brush aside all such claims and pre-
tentious demands. as the lion shakes
off the dew that falls upon his name. y
In view of this great approaching
struggle. the people appear to be
asleep, for very few, it would seem,
have taken any thought upon the sub.
ject. 1t is high time that the masses
were astir, and the legions preparing
to meet the emergency.
AS ever, yours,

"LO. the Poor Indian "

There are now encampcd on the
bank of the Cedar river, near this
town, several families Of the Winnie
bago tribe of Indians, numbering in
all some thirty or forty persons. They
are peaccable and NORTHUMBERLAND in
deed appear very friendly towards the
white settlers here, from whom they
receive many favors. They are all
under the fatlierly care of their chief,
Waupinicon, or "Capt. JIM" as he is
famiilarly called by the whites. His
squaw, son, daughter and papooses
paid visit to our sanctum ON Mon
day, and appeared to take wonder
full interest in the great art prescrv-
alive of all arts" --.
Capt Jim's son, youth of some
fifteen years, has discarded the blan-
ket and moccason, and adopted the
garb of the whites. He attended
school the past winter in the northern
part of this county. On Tuesday we
received a call from Capt. Jim him
self. He informed us that his tribe
were now very poor. On account OF
the war the Government has paid
them no money the past year. lie
said he had thirty acres in crops
oats, corn, potatoes, &c, last year, al
their Reservation in Minnesota, and
that after stacking his hay and grain
in the fall, the prairie fire came and
destroyed the whole! He therefore
had nothing on which to feed his
ponies through the winter, and has
been dependent upon the charity o
the whites.
Charles City is built upon the sit,
Of former Winnebago village. Il
was here that these red men hunted
and fished, and it is here that til,
bones Of their ancestors lie buried
Hence the cause of their frequent Wis
its to our town. They mark with pr
culiar interest, all the changes tina
take place, and and all the improve
ments made by us their successors.
On Tuesday, just before night, the
dressed up their ponies and then
selves in Indian gear and trapping'
and rode into the village, cutting a
manner of antics. In the evenin
they gave an exhibition at the Ston
Hall to a crowded audience, wher
they rehearsed their songs and dance.
and had various performances illus
trativc Of the Indian character. No
the least interesting pant Of the per
Torrance, to some of the ladies al
least, were the little papooscs. all OF
whom, that were large enough, took
part in the dances.

Norfolk papers obtained at Fortress
Monroe contain extracts from the Sa-

it appears that Fort Pulaski has final
ly surrendered. The Republican says
it learns with deep regret that, after
a gallant defence against guns most
ly superior, Fort Pulaski surrendered
at 2 r. N. Of the 18th inst. Corporal
Law, Of the Pulaski Guards, who did
not leave Fort Thunderbolt until after
the flag was hauled down, brings. the
intelligence of the event. The sur
render was unconditional. Seven large
breaches were made in the south wall
by the Federal battery of eight Par
rott guns, at Kings Landing. All
the barbctte guns on that side were
3ismountcd, and also three of the
casematc guns, leaving but one gun
bearing on that point. A clear breach
was made in the magazine. The balls
used were conical. and propelled with
such force that they went clear
through the walls at nearly every fire.
