The OPINION Nafionate of Paris Prince Napoleon's
organ, condemns the idea of emancipation proca-
nation for the negroes in anticipation, and in very 81
terms, while the Dublin Freema,i's Journal Ia
Union paper points out the nutlity OF such measure
tor the negroes themselves.
We give these things for what they may be worth
So many false hopes have been raised-so many base
less speculations founded upon the expected contngen
ces of foreign intervention recognition, etc, that We;
in common with the rest of people, unwilling to
allow minds to rest upon such subject for any
length Of time Yet we must expect to be recognized
sometime and IRE lM be. We must expect this war to
end some time and 1t wHt end If it do not soon end,
there will be domestic revolutions at the North-uter
nal Disturbances complete dsintegratiOn. We kno"
what we suffer- bat our social system and internal or

The Wounded in t6c Late BATTLES.
The Richmond Examiner of the 9th has the fol-
lowing:
The public highway in the Valley of Virginia from
Winchester to Staunton is crowded with suffering,
wounded soldiers poor fellows who were in the fights
of Sunday Monday Tuesday, ard especially in the ter
rible fight of Wednesday of last week. These poor
soldiers wounded in almost every part of their bod
les, in the feet in the legs and others in their
hands, and heads. They left the battlefield to
make their way to some hospital other or to their
homes. Many of them are not able to hire convey
auce, whilst they scarcely able to trudge along the
wearsome end oisome road which stretches out before
them. Many of them, we doubt not frequently suffer
from hunger, almost every farm house by the way
side has been cat out by the numbers who throng
this great highway of travel. 1t is an exceedingly
painful sight to see these poor ragged toworn battle
Scared heroes trudging YEARLY and painfully along,
with the pangs of hunger superadded to their other
Affections.
For the sake of humanity, we hope the following
from the Richmond correspondence of the Charleston
Mercury is exaggerated
Habit has made many railroad conductors here
abouts regard soldiers as hcgs. They care nothing
whatever for Them Thousands have been sent up the
Central road, turned into the woods without food, or
shelter, or guides to make their way to the army in
Maryland But this is not the worst The other
day four cars laden with civilians left
Culpeper, while hundreds of wounded soldiers lay
strewn along the track imporng peousy to be taken
in There they lay with the cold autumn rain pouring
down upon Them and the conductor backed off hastily,
needless Of their cries.
