The EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION
The following comments upon the Presidents
emancipation proclamation by border State
journal, the Baltimore Clipper, ought, says
the Boston Journal, to shame the pro-slavery
sheets in that vicinity which are assslllng the
President in the most bitter and vim dic,lve
spirit for having dared to interfere with sla-
very, which is to them more precious than
the national life, or the best blood of New
England, that is being poured out like water
10 uphold that life
I" We know that the plea will be urged
that it is unconstitutional to interfere with
slavery in the States, but this plea is met by
the fact that the rebels have repudiated that
Constitution, and under the laws and usages
Of war have not only forfeited their property
by committing the crime Of treason in bear
ing arms against their country, but also their
lives they, therefore, have no claims, furth-
or than what humanity presents for so large
body of misguided human beings. Again,
they are striving by every means at their COM
nand to destroy the property, Of every de-
scription, of the loyal men Of the Union
wherever it may be found. The bridges, the
crops, and other property of the people o
Maryland bear testimony to the fact thai
they had no hesitation in carrying out theil
vindictiveness to the utmost of their ability
But there is something so peculiarly sacred
in the eyes of the oligarchs and their friends
in slave property ,thatlall other material inter
ssts dwindle into utter insgnifcance in com
harrison with it. We freely confess that willis
We have no scrupes as to the right of holdin,
slave property, and have had no swmpath
with the abolitonsts in their course in regar'
to it, still we have ever been prepared t
meet that or any other question and decid
upon its merits in connection with its bear
ings upon the perpetuity of the Union. w
fully endorsed the sentiments Of MIR. Lincol
in his reply to Horace Greeley, and tn
views he therein presented appeared to met
the appreciation of the loyal men OF the who
nation. And whilst as a matter OF policy "
would have preferred that the whole subjet
of slavery should have been kept out of Ii
arena at this time, still we acknowledge tn;
the preser, alton of our Union is the predon
mating desire o! the wishes of every loyal CT
izef, and ,chateuer stands in the toay of !
3 accomplishment must go By The board. III
8, President has determined that the necessiti
Of the country require the course he has pu
sued, and although we may not be able
see the imperativeness OF the step he has
& ken, still we do not permit ourselves to pla
four opinion in opposition to his decision, su
posing that be has sufficient grounds to il
Del him to action in the premises"

GEMS. NELSON AND DAVIS.

The public were shocked yesterday morn
ing by the intelligence Of the shooting Of Gen.
Nelson by Gen. Davis. The particulars were
given in our telegraphic columns, so far as
they have transpired at the time Of our wri-
ting. We take the following from sketches
Of the parties concerned in the Tribune:
GEN. WILLIAM NELSON.
Gen. Nelson, Of whose untimely death we
have news by telegraph, commanded divis-
ion under Gen. Buell.. He was a native of
Mason County, Ky. he was educated in
the Navy, and had arrived at the rank of
Lieutenant, when, in the Spring of 1861, he
was detailed to command the fleet of Ohio
River gunboats. He was subsequently ap-
pointed to succeed Gen. Anderson in Ken
lucky, with view to his strengthening the
loyal sentiment in that State. This was ow-
ing to bis extensive acquaintance with the
people there. In April, 1861, he went there
and began the formation of camp, and the
recruiting Of troops, at point between Gar
rardsville and Danville, since known as
{" Camp Dick Robinson" Owing to the
subsequent appointment of George H. Thorn
as to that POST, Gen. Nelson was ordered to
form camp at Washington, Mason County
/ KY, for the enlistment of troops.
| Gen. Nelson was about 40 years OF age,
of powerful physique, and good presence
| His address, however, was extremely uncouth
and profane, so much so that he was said to
be the most profane and obscene officer in
the United States Army. To his men he
was ungenerous and rough. In this manner
his efficiency was greatly marred, and his
influence much circumscribed. His brother,
Thsmas H. Nelson of Indiana, is our present
| Minister to Chill.
He entered the Navy as a citizen of Ken
lucky, January 20, 1910. In 1855 he was
promoted to a heutenancy, after passing
though tho rvsuiaI dos.es- -f---.r- t. thls
| latter capacity he served at sea about two
and half years. His total sea service
amounted to about twelve years and six
months He was on shc!rse an, I'D other duty
| for nearly nve years, and had been unem-
| ployed for about the same time. His total
service under the flag of the United States
was over % years. His last sea service was
on board the sloop st. Louis, in the HONE
| Squadron. On his return home, he was ap-
4 pointed to ordnance duty at the Washington
Navy Yard, from which post he vas sent tc
Kentucky, as already stated, on special duty
for the War Department. His commission
as BrgadieI General dated from Septembe,
16, 1861. eauas. taa
Recently he was assigned to the command
of the troops in Kentucky, superseding Gen
Lew Wallace, and under his administration
| we have had succession of disoracefll de
feats till the rebels over ran the state, ant
we're only stopped by Wallace from captur-
ing Cincinnati. More recently the defens
of Louisville has engaged Nelson, and it
charged in one of the morning papers in thi
city that .'the course of that officer has SAVIOR
ed very much of the heartless, intemperat
alarmist, or of a windy, clustering Furioso.
We believe he was promoted to the ran
Of Major General for distinguished service

be with their brothers blood, they seek again

soul should feel it a privilege to be able in
