''Stealing Cotton and Niggers."
Trimble denies using the language on the

permission to refer to Mr.. Benjamin Laid, of
the firm Of B. Ladd & Co., Packers, of this

of whom were on the same train and heard

Grafton as war measure. 1t is condemn
ed by my competitor and by the Mahony
organization which he represents. He re.
fuses to distinguish between the liberation of
slaves as means of striking fatal blow at
the rebellion, dssipating their armies in the
fed, and saving lives of loyal men and on
the other hand, prosecuting the war for the
purpose of liberating the sla YES. Nobody
IN the United States, within my knowledge,
asks that the war be carried on for that
purpose. But an immense number, without
distinction Of party. are urging that the war
be ended by one mighty blow which shall,
in their opinion, do more to suppress the re-
bellion than our army itself has vet accomp-
lished and shall compel the shareholders
who constitute tho life and soul of the rebel.
lion to return to their plantations and look
after the interests of agriculture and peace,
instead of war. That such power exists in
time Of war is no new doctrine. Jno Quin-
cy Adams, cotemporaneous with the Con-
stitutiofi itself, and instructed by the fra.
mers OF the Constitution, repeatedly asserted
it on the floor Of Congress. In 1886, 1S41,
and 1912, he asserted it there. and cha leng
ed reply. He used this language on the
% Of May, 1885,:
From the instant that your slaveholding
States become the theatre of war, civil, SER
vile, or foreign, from that instant the war
po,eers Of Congress extend to interference
with the institution Of slavery in every way
in which it can be interfered with, from a
claim of indemnity for slaves taken or des-
troyed, to the cession Of the State burdcned
with slavery to foreign power.
In April, 1912. he re-affirmed the doctrine
in speech in which he said:
:" is war power. say it is war
power; and when your country is actually
in Dar, whether it be war Of invasion, or a
soar Of insurrection Congress has power to
carry on the war, and must carry it on &C
cording to the laws Of war and by the laws
ofwar, invaded country has all its laws AMI

The CONDITION OF ENGLAND.-The London
Morning Herald of July IL contains the follow
ing picture of the present condition of England.
We are actually spending more than our in
come we have used up every extraordinary
resource, additional windfall we have reduced
our balances at the national bankers we have
increased our debts in time of peace in one
word, we are drifting into n state of chronic
deficit We are in financial straits we are en-
during a cruel pressure of taxation, made unnec-
csssarily painful by n profigate fnancier, whose
policy it has been to subordinate the public in
terests to the creed of 4 clique and the convent
ence of n cabinet. And all this while our reven-
ne has lost its much bOasted recuperative power.
Receipts are waning, trade is falling off, the
country suffers from deep and wide spread COM
mercial distress. If, under such circumstances,
so extravagant expenditure is still to go on in
conjunction with a rotten and ruinous policy,
much more than the reputation of Il minister al
ready self discredited, much more than the sta
bility of a government already lettering, will be
jeopardized."

SUGGESTIONS To PHoToGRAPHERs.-A radical
defect in nearly all likenesses taken by the new
method now in use, arises from the fact that the
sitter, being in a novel situation, unconsciously
assumes q constrained and unnatural expression
of countenance, and having no means of correct
ing this, it is of course repeated in the picture.
Hence, so few are entirely satisfied with their
photographs. The improvement we suggest, is
designed to obyiate this defect, by attaching to
the camera an ordinary plane mirror, 50 adjusted
that the sitter, instead of staring into blank space
with Il feeling of what a ridiculous part he is
playing, shall look upon his own reflection in this
glass during the entire operation. lie will thus
be enabled at once to assume and retain his ordi-
nary expression of countenance, or take any other
that best pleases himself. The picture will be
an exact reproduction of the image in the mirror,
and cannot fail of being perfect in every respect.

Large Armies.

The following facts, culled from the fields of
ancient story, may be of some interest at the pre-
sent time:
The city of Thebes had a hundred gates, and
could send out ut each gate 10000 fighting men
and 200 chariots-in all 900 900 men and , 900

armed chariOts- l49l Is. &.
Hamilcar-went from Carthage and landed near
Palermo. lie had a fleet of 1000 ships and

l5O, 900 were slain.
\ Roman feet. lei by ReguIus against Garth

Carthagenian fleet numbered $50 vessels, with
$50 900 men.
At the battle of Gamma, there were of the
Romans, including allies, 10000 foot and 5000
horse of the Carthagenians 40, 900 foot and
10, 900 horse. OF these, 10000 were slain in all,
and 1000 taken prisoners more than half slain.
Hannibal, during his campaign in Italy and
Spain, plundered 400 towns and destroyed 30O,-
600 men.
Minus, the Assyrian king, about 1900 years
II. c., led against the Bactrians his army, con-
srsting Of LOO, 600 foot, 200 900 horse, and

Italy, a little befo.-e Hannibal's time, was able
To send into the field pearly 900 900 men.
Semiramis employed 1000, 900 men in build
ing the mighty Babylon, She took 1000 o
Indians prisoners 1T che Indus, and sunk 1000

When Xerxes arrived at Thermopyle, his land
and sea forces amounted to 2,54l, 610, exclusive

tarch, and Isocrates.

AIMING THE BAcKs.-The policy of declaring
general emancipation of the slaves OF reoels and
Of employing them in the Union armies 70 aid IN
crushing the rebellion, is fast gaining friends in
Congress and the country. Its adoption has long
been looked upon as only a question OF time,
should the war last and 1t would perhaps have
been decided upon before this except for the radi-
cal fanatics who ceaselessly vltuperate everybody
who did not believe the time had come when 1t
was wise or necessary to employ that element of
power. There are few thoughtful men who have
ever taken ground against employing the negroes
except upon arguments of temporary expediency.
When the time for using the blacks shall have
forced itself upon the country, few loyal men will
be found to oppose 1t and that time seems to be
RAPIDLY approaching if the rebellion shall long
continue to maintain formidable proportions.
An interesting debate on this subject occurred in
the United States Senate. Senators Grlmes
of Iowa. Sherman Of Ohio, Fessenden OF Maine,
Rice of Mimi, and Wilson of Mas spoke
strongly in favor of arming the slaves Senators
Salisbury Of Delaware and Carlisle Of Va. OPP
posed it Senator Collamer argued that the laws
confined the militia to white men Senator Davis
of KY. opposed employing negroes a: soldiers,
but would use them rs laborers and Senator
King of New York proposed to receive into the
service persons of African descent, - for the pur-
pose of constructing intrenchments or other camp
service or labor for which they are fitted The
question was treated entirely in its practical bear
ings, and with a view to legislation for filing up
the new requisition of troops called for by the
President. The speakers were very serious, and
their views were evidently greatly affected by the
recent rebel doings on the Peninsula. There
was strong opposition to what was alled the
80 white-kid-glOved - Z" r~ose-water" mode of con-
Quoting the war and Mr.. Sherman argued that
we So could not fight against savages unless we
became part savage ourselves, - and that" rather
than that the Union should be destroyed, he
would organize a great army of black men and
desolate every Southern State" Other speakers
were not behind this in strength of expression or
in determination to adopt any and every means
to put down the rebellion.
