~ The sympathixss with the rebellion tell
us, in. one breath, that the negroes viii not
work,-that they are indolent worthless, and
utterly unable. take care Of themselves, and,
If freed, would be constant burdens on the
public! This view of the case, We suppose, il
intended to influence the tax payers.
In the next breath these astute gentlemen
affirm, With equal vehemence, that the freed
negroes would overrun the country, and so re.
duce the wages of laboring men that they would
be unable to obtain decent livelihood! This
view 10 intended. to influence those who earn
their living by honest and honorable toll.
One of these assertions must be false
Wouldn't it be wise In these gentlemen to make
up their minds which of them is likely to prove
most advantageous to. their cause, and then
stick to ii? If you believe they are industrious,
cay so. If they are. in your opinion, idle and
indisposed to earn their living, say that. But,
in heavens name don't try to make US believe
they are both Such inconsistent assertions are
not more attractive than credible.

gentleman engaged in the same work, in which
be remarks: "Dont say that We must resort 70
drafting. We have not tie time to drat." Ifmen
will volunteer with any sort Of promp.itude, the
new levy, it is thought, can be raised much
quicker In that way than BY drafting. There
are many delays in the latter mode which donot
appertain to volunteering. And if volunteering
is the speedest mode Of raising troops It is con.
sequently the best; for expedition is nov, more
than at any other period in the history Of the
war, necessity Of the military situation

RecYulIlnE.


The business Of recruiting for the new Regi.
ment to be raised in this District is progressing,
although not in the ratio that it should do The
harvest time has come and farmers, with al the
assistance they can procure, are bnsily engaged
in harvesting, so that there Is much delay occs.
stoned to recruiting in the country. But We
conceive that there is another cause for the de.
lay in enlisting men, which has remedy, and
it is to be hoped that it will be applied immedi.
ately. The Adjutant General in granting com.
missions to raise recruits, has, in our opinion,
made mistake, and great one, in giving re.
cruiting commissions to 90 many different indi.
viduals in the same county. It not only binders
recruiting but occasions dissatisfaction among
recruits themselves; for if they enlist with one
officer, whom they prefer for commander, there
is no certainty of his success in raising full
company, and therefore the recruit is liable 70
be placed under some other officer not as &C.
ceptabls to him. The proper way would be to
give only the requisite number of commissions
to officer the quota to be raised in each county.
If more are given, recruiting Is retarded and the
cause injured.
Our own companies that have volunteered
theirdervices should bs filed first. To them
belongs the preference, and We hope to SEQ
them filed within two weeks from the present
writing. ae

CONFISCATlNG SLAVES,

The Detroit Free Press says this cues.
ton should be left to the States, not be.
cause of any feeling which may be exhi-
bited in those States adverse to slavery,
but because the States hare the Constitu
tiondl porer to abolish slavsry If they
choose to do so, and Congress possesses no
such poTer. 1t is question belonging to
the States, and there it should remain. In
the exigencies Of war, wherever our arm.
les may march, slavery like every other
institution of the country, must suffer
that cannot be helped but the general
emancipation Of the slaves would be one
Of the greatest evils which could possibly
bs brought upon the country North as we'll
as South. Make them free and nineteen
twentieths of them at least, would prove
only Migrants or criminals, who must be
allowed to suffer or be supported at the
public expense. Are we prepared to in
crease the burthens Of the people to this
extent, when the annual expenditures of
the Government are already at the rate of
five hundred million of dollars? Besides,
along the whole line of the army opera.
tons in Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri,
rh'te Union refugees are coming to our
lines, escaping with their lives, leaving
behind their homesteads, and all other of
their property. They became destitute
because Of their loyalty to the Govern
ment. The accounts Of their suffering
and destitute condition is heart sickening,
and yet no Abolition voice is raised asking
that they may be received into the lines
OF our army, and supported out of the
Treasury. A Southern exchange, a true
Union paper, pertinently asks, why not
feed these white people first a. the expense
OF the Government, and if we have any.
thing TO spare, devote it to the negroes?
Abolitionists would answer, "they are not
black, and must therefore take care of
themselves"

SPECULATION IN Guns The gross knav
cry to which the government is exposed
is shown in one of the transactions ferret
ed out by the Congressional Investigating
Committee. A lot Of Halls carbines be-
longing to the Government we're con.
demned and sold, early last spring. for a
mere nominal price. Soon after AIexan-
der Cummings, Of New York, bought 100
OF these same condemned weapons for The
government at SIS each. In June they
were second time condemned and sold
for $3.50 each to Mr.. Eastman, who
laid out SIPS on each gun in repairs, and
sold them to Simon Stevens for $l2 So
Mr.. Stevens sold them to Gen. Fremont
for $22 each. The total cost of these
guns to the government is about $45 each,
and they are as worthless now rs they
we're a: first The government had better
destroy them off hand that they may not
constitute stock in trade for other frauds.
