Con6scation Of Gen. Taylor's Plantation

Walton's Daily Montpelier Journal con-
tains letter from a soldier of the Yer
mont Eighth, dated Camp Allemands,
Aug, 10Th, in which he states that on the
previous Thursday the property of Gen.
Richard Taylor, son of old General Tay
lor, (by whom it was bequeathed to him, }
was confscated, the son being now in the
rebel army. The slaves one hundred and
fifty in number, were all declared emanSi-
pated, while the plantation was plundered
by the Union soldiers. According to the
writer:
eft is one of the most splendid planta.
tions that | ever saw. There are on it
700 acres of sugar cane, which must rot
upon the ground if the government does
not harvest it. | wish you could have
seen the soldiers plumber this plantation.
After the stock was driven off, the boys
began by ordering the slaves to bring out
everything there was to eat and drink
They brought out hundreds of bottles of
wine, eggs, preserved figs, and peaches,
turkeys, chickens, and honey, in any
quantity. .ee aa5 .gsl g,e

Effect of Abolition.

If the Presidents proclamation abolish
ishing slavery shall be carried into practi-
cal operation, it will food the North with
lazy, worthless negroes, whose labor will
come in direct competition with our free
white labor; or as Mr.. Train would say,
it will place the negro in the .cornfeld by
the side Of white men. As our armies
advance and the negroes are freed, they
naturally will come North. They will not
stay South amid war and revolution, and
where they are likely to be retaken by the
changes of the fortunes of war. The eff
feet of this is already being felt in the
Southern part of our State, and it will
soon work its way further north. The
Harrisburg Union says:
SwARMING Us.-For couple of weeks
past it has been SO dark with contrabands
around the depot that pedestrians find it
difficult to peregrinate without lanterns
What this eternal raft of negroes will find
to do here is more than we can foretell.--
The darkies of this city are already becom-
ing jealous of this class because of their
cheap labor. Some of them threaten dire
vengeance on the contrabands, and very
laconically ask why they did not stay
with their masters. Our white citizens
also look upon the swelling multitudes of
negroes among them with a just. sense of
alarm. They abhor the idea to greater
extent than the darkies do. What shall
we do with them ? is a question that sug-
gests itself to every mind. but no one can
solve it. If hundreds and hundreds were
not yet to be poured in upon us, the num-
Der here could soon be distributed through
out the country and furnished employ
ment by farmers and gardeners. But look
ing upon this as the entrepot for hundreds
who may escape from the South, as sort
Of, rendezvous for them until they can SEQ
opportunities to do better elsewhere, we
canot dispel from our mind the fear that
not only this new population will suffer,
but that their presence here will SO effect
the laboring class of white men that the
pinch of want will become general. We
sincerely hope that time will prove these
fears to be groundless, but it is hoping al
most against hope.-Luzerne Union.

Means estimated the public debt would
amount to by the time the assessment and
collection of the tax could be made.
> If we are wrong, we trust some Repub-

set us right, and show why a tax of $780,
100000 was levied to pay the interest for
