SEND THE NEGROES TO THE INTERIOR
People residing the seacoast who own slaves
and likely to be invaded by the Yankees, should
send their negroes to the interior to be distributed
among the farmers whose sons are gone to defend
the country. This in degree would supply
help to make the crops, that otherwise must prove
short. The negroes would be we'll fed, clothed,
and something in the way Of wages paid for them.
by this arrangement the negroes would become
producers instead of idle consumers, and perhaps
saved to their owners. Five hundred or more of
them could find good homes in Iredel aud ada
cent counties, and they should be sent up inrrne-
diately, before the crops are. pitched. -. States

Mcclellan and the War..The True
Objecs which should Govern.

Ia his general order of the 9th of September.
Gen. MoCLELLAS thus defines the duty of the
army. He says;
The General commanding takes this occasion
TO remind the officers and soldiers of the army
that we are engaged in supporting the Consffu-
fssa and iars Of the Unifed States. and in sup
pressing rebellion against their authority; that
are not engaged In war of rapine, repenge or
subJugafioR, that this - bot contest against pop
ulstion, but against armed forces and political or
ganx itious; that il Is a struggle carried within
the United States. and should be conducted by US
upon the highest principles known to Christian
civilization.
These are brave and noble words, to which
every patriot will respond. They are sentiments
which have inspired. and will inspire. the soldiers
Of the republic. and they are the words which
have given McCLELLAS's army the late brilliant
victories in Maryland. Unlike the vain glorious
military orders Of PoPE. these words Of sLrTLE
Mac" will marshal his hosts to victory and give
the country lasting and an honorable peace.
This will displease the Abolition traitors who wish
for war of "rapine. revenge and subiugaton.'
but the America. people will hail then as har-
bingers of success To our arms. and Heaven will
smile upon the gallant men who battle for the
restoration of such Union.

LfscoLS as foreshadowed in bis proclamation is
un~ise. The domestic and serial institutions Of
the Southern States are based upon It's present
system Of industry. They not be Destroyed
without vast injury TO. IL not the total destruction
OF the material interests OF that section Of the
country. The sudden emancipation Of slavery,
if ii could be accomplished. as proposed by Mr.
LINCOLN, would be disastrous not only TO the
whites, but equally so 60 the blacks. The South
ern States. IN such an event. instead of being a
source of wealth to the balance Of the Union.
would become a burden to the latter. and for
long years to come sore weight and crushing
tax upon the industry Of the North.
Mr.. LINCOLN proposes 10 compensate the loyal
men of the South for their losses under his eman-
cipation scheme. What tight has b, TO make
such pledge. or what probability that it will
be respected Do the people of Indiana feel
inclined to be taxed to pay for the slaves of even
the loyal men of the South? The Presidents
colonization scheme il also visionary and imprac-
ticable. II carried out, it will be another weight
added TO the industry of the North. Labor is
the source of wealth But Mr.. LINCOLN proposes
TO send out Of the country the labor which has
been productive. and which would be in the fu-
ture under the system which has controlled IT,
The negroes can not be colonzed even in part,
only at an immense cost to the public treasury
Do the people desire to be taxed for such pur-
pose?
The proclamation of Mr.. LINCOLN is blunder,
and so great blunder under the present coDdi
ton of public affairs is iraught with evil We
cannot imagine what pressure has driven the
President into the step lie has taken We are
charitable enough to believe it was not the i'm
pulses of his own unbiased judgment. We have
heard it stated, coming from high authority.
that in sixty days we should have either an gno-
minious peace. acknowledging the Southern
COnfederacy. or else a dictator. What means
the assembling of Governors at Altoona, Pa?
Has Mr.. LINCOLN anticipated one Of the objects
which they had in view? If the President issued
the proclamation under such a constraint he has
committed a gross error. A refusal to comply
with such a demand, no matter from what source
it came would have enshrined him in the hearts
of the people.
But the die is cast The issue of abolition is
now fairly made up. The people of Indiana
must decide at the ballot box whether they are
for or against it.
