4 dispatch to the Associated Press Of the
same date reads as follows:
ITO the AssoclatedIPress.
'cA1no. Jan. Ga descrtcr from Columbus, who
arrived this norn1nE reports that Ten FlliotF re-
sfgned On Friday. Fifteen thousand troops &c.
In the dispatch TO this paper, the fact
mentioned in the italcised sentence was
struck out by Gen. Grants censor or omit
ted by the negligence Of ourrcportcr..
We agee with the ST. Louis Democrat
that it is not easy to perceive the reason
for receiving deserter with the informa-
ton be brings from the euemy's camp, and
taking the escaping eontrabands' horses,
but shutting them out with whatever
information they might be able to give.
These contrabands'' are entitled to
their freedom, by the act Of Congress passed
last July which provides that slaves en-
p1oyed On rebel Qualifications OF in other
military operations are confscated and
eMancipated These seven blacks are
therefore free men They had done the
Union cause substantial service. They had
unhorsed seven rebel troopers and brought
the animals to our lines They had also
deprived the rebels Of the assistance Of sc1-
en- useful laborers. They came 10 tender
their services to the Union soldiers. Tie
horses they brought were received, and
those Unior-loving blacks we're denied ad-
mittance within the lines. What became
Of thems We're they demanded into
bondage?
We call the attention Of Gen. Hallcck to
this case, and ask him whether the Com
nlandant at Cairo acted in accordance
with order No. 8, as explained and
qualified in his letter to Frank p.
Blair, which was read in Congress? Il the
modified order has been violated in the
above case, it becomes the duty Of Gen
Haleck to reproVe the violators and give
them such p1ain and definite instructions
as will lcaFe them without an excuse in
tile future 10 repeat this heartless and un-
just ACT On the other hand, if order No.
3 operates Us shown in this instance, Gen,
Ha'lcck should promptly rescind it, OF re-
fusing to do so, the President should "mod-
ify'' him as he did Fremont's proclamation
Ne forbear commenting on the malignant
pro-s1a7e7y spirit that is known to actuatt
many Of the officers at Cairo-especia1lJ
those whose blood was corrupted at Wes
Point by the poison Of the oligarchy.

II our account Of the prospective cxpedi-
lion Of Gen. jim Lane to the Southwest, at
the head Of strong column, clothed with
wide discretionary power to make war in
way to hurt the enemy, has been received
with increduGty in any quarter, tha fact
is due to the difficulty Of reconciling the
programme which VIC hare set forth, with
the known policy Of the officers Of the Ad-
1ninistration in other quarters Why sher-
man should fight with boxing gloves, in
South Carolina why Mcclellan should be
permitted to remain in Washing
ton, inactive for more than five
months; why the nonsense Of which
Kentucky has been the theatre, should be
justified, all BY the same authority that
puts Lane IN commission and marks out
for him campaign which is model of
ccmprelensiveness, requiring Napoleonic
celerity Of movement, thorough anti
slavery policy, and an army Of men ami
mated by an idea, for its successful COM
pletion, are indeed matters Of wonderment
that ought to, as they do, chal-
lenge the attention Of our readers.
Surely the rebellion is not more
atrocious and bloody in Arkansas
than in South Carolina; Northern Texas
does not any more deserve the visitation Of
red-hot war than Eastern Virginia; hence
we are forced to believe that new notions
and new policy are having their influence
in the Cabinet, and that this movement Of
Lanes is only forerunner Of earnest and
uncompromisiug efforts against the rebel
lion all along the line, from Fortress Moi
roe to Fort Leayenworth. If our view Of
the case is correct, We may be assured
that Mr. seward's policy, which, we are
sorry to say, has been the controlling
idea Of the Administration, has met check,
and that the attempt to drown out the re-
tellion by showers Of ink, to carry hostile
batteries by confident predictions, and to
make peace in ninety days, by saying that
peace will he made, has come to end We
shall be thankful to know that this is tic
case, and that the shallow Machiavelli who
has essayel to accomplish by diplomacy
and buttered words what must be done by
the bayonet and rifled cannon, has been
euchrcd at last, and that common sense is
about to prevail.
But, whatever the secret history Of this
new endeavor, the people Of the Northwest
may be assured that Lanes expedition, as
We hare foreshadowed it, is to-day, or was
| up TO the latest Of our adviccs by mail from
Washington, the policy Of the Administra'
| ton; and that, unless some change should
be made necessary by the events of the
next thirty days, the conquering and Iber
ating column will set out On its march.

SHALL TWO CHICAGO RAILWAYS
DESTROY EACH 0THER-A CON-
PRANTGE.

The improvement now Of Immediate and |
pressing importance to Chicago is the open
ing Of line Of railway directly west to the
Missouri. With no disposition to disparage |
or ignore the claims Of any other route, it
viii be cur object to show in this article |
what is the real position Of the Galena Air
Line, the Chicago, Iowa and Nebraska, and
the Cedar Rapids and Missouri roads, the
necessity Of s compromise of all conflict
ing interests, and a concentration Of the
energies Of our citizens and Of those inter
ested in the roads named, to complete the
line to the Missouri at the earliest possible
day. A mere glance at the
map will show that the interests
Of the three roads are identical, and that
they should be fun "A one line. to the Mis-
souri, Of the four hundred and ffty-ax
miles, in round numbers, from Chicago to
the Missouri, two hundred and fifty-six are
completed, and combination Of the capi-
tai and the energies Of all the parties in
interest would complete the road, at far
thest, in two years, Instead Of any com
promise being effected between the Galena
and Iowa roads, each party is holding back
and charging the other with disposition
to demand an unfair, and, to themselves,
Eu1nous arrangement. The matter stands
about in this W1se;
The Iowa and Nebraska and Cedar
Rapids roads, having already hundred
and twenty miles Of road completed west
Of the Mississippi. to point more than one
third Of the way across the State, and judg-
ing correctly how essential the road is to
the Ga1ena, suppose they can dictate their
own terms to the Galena company. If
such agreement Is not soon made, the Iowa
roads threaten to form connection with the
Racine and Mississippi road on the north,
now rapidly approaching completion, and
mike such running arrangements as would
secure the building Of the New Albany and
Mendoza road, on the south side ofthe Gale
na at an early day: The directors ofthe Ne
braska road require an arrangement based
On the cost Of the road. while it is paIpsble
to all mcE that the road il not worth any
thing like what it cost. They suppose that
