A.CcUNTEanLAsr.

Tbs Legislature Of Virginia has me-
President Lincoln proposition for eman
cipation in the border States, BY resolu
tons that emancipation is not only Nm
constitutional, but that the people are moi
competent, by any majority however
large, to make Constitution under which
slaves can be emancipated. These reso.
| buttons assert that slaves can only be
emancipated at the individual option OF
their respective owners.
These traitor slave breeders assert il as
fundamental principle that Southern
society and Sou.hern civilization is found
ed in slavery, and the emancipation Of
the slaves imports the destruction Of civ
iliaation and Southern society. The Leg
islature ask their Confederate brethren of
the seeding States to endorse these res
olutions, and they no doubt will endorse
them in hot haste. We presume an eff.
fort will also be made to adopt similar
resolutions in the Border Slave States,
but We should not be surprised if the
'siens of the tines should open out on
them in an edict Of emancipation before
they get their resolutions through.

Our dependence is on the poor men Of
the South. The Union and the Govern

whose tyranny over the poor whites, n
unrestrained BY the general Government,
would be not less terrible than that which
they already exercise over their slaves.

10 this city, and Council Bluffs thus placed

Of tho Associated Preas. For these dis.

partly in consequence OF the Office having
been opened in this city without q bonus
from our cisizens-and partly from some
gher good and satisfactory reason we
suppose.
Well, the cost Of these dispatches, and
tho expense Of publishing Daily paper,
will fall mainly upon the people Of this
city. With them rests the whole matter
II they desire to pcruse all the telegraphic
news Of the day, in paper published in

On Monday y It, Mr. BrsKE viii call upon
tho people Of this city, for legitimate aid in
this matter, in the shape Of subscriptions
and advertisements.
10 consequence Of the high price No have

new Of the fact that, at the best, we cannot
hope for large subscription list, in such a
'earsely settled country as Western Iowa,
We have concluded on tho terms Of our

TERROR OF THE PROCLAMATION
A certain County Judge within the
limits of this State not long since had
occasion to consider an application for a
habcas corpus for child, by parent,
VINO ailedged it to be wrongtully de-
tanned and deprived of his liberty, by
one -, The Judge being lover o.
law and order, and wishing to comfy
with the Proclamation, went T. the
Hon. District Attorney for advice IN
the premises, stating that ne feared
that he might be in contsnpt to the
President if he disregarded his procla-
nation by entertaining writ which
had bceh duly suspended by him. The
District Attorney told him thc judge)
that he was safe i'll proceeding in the
preu Uses, wkereupon the writ was is
sued by the Hon. ('l Judge, not, how
ever, without considerable II isgivings in
his own mind as to his power, but de
pending entirely upon his legal adviser,
on which, of course, he viii base his
defense, If arrested by military power.
1t still remains in doubt whether the
authorities will arrest the Judge and
District Attorney for such proceedings.
1t is to be hoped, il they should be ar.
rested, that ,he Government will deal
summary with them, and allow nc
trial 10 this State, but hasten them ofl

A MATERIAL FACT. The Cincinnati
Enquirer says the abolltionists in the
Ohio Legislature defeated the bill Civ.
ing the soldiers the privilege of voting
this fall in their different camps, the
democratic members all voting for it, the
aboltonists against it.
No such vote would have been given
by the abolitionists if they had not
been convinced that a majority of the
Ohio volunteers were democratic. This
statement of the Enquirer seals one
fountain OF political capital that aboi-
tionism has been using, and nails ono
enormous falsehood.
In doing this, it proves the magnitude
of the change in public sentiment In
that State. Ohio has given scathlng
rebnke to fanaticism.

ArEMALE Charlottesville police de-

ArEMALE OPERAroR-The police de-
tcotives of New York have arrested an
eccentric woman who for the past five or
six years has been indulging in rather
novel mode of making living. Her
name is Ellen Wagner, with dozen or
more aliases. She appears about twenty
years old, is brilliant pianist, talks well,
and can act lady's part to charm. She
resides at fashionable boarding houses,
uses her own table-silvcr, and is rather ex-
elusive and retired than otherwise. She
pretneds to be the wife of an officer in
the Union army.
Ellen peruses every day the morning
papers, looking for advertisements for do
mestics. selecting suitable one, she as
sumes an humble garb and goes to secure
the place. When she succeeds, by her
attention and oblging disposition she
wins upon her lady employers, till she
learns where their silver and jewclry are
kept, and then some night, with the aid
of accompiccs outside, the silver, valua-
blcs, and prepossessing maid servant
would Simultaneously disappear.
This feat accomplished, Ellen would
return to her boarding house and recu-
perate with week or two of fashionable
life, talking frequently about her husband
at the war;" The police have been for
over year on the track Of this very
clever young lady, whose career as a
swindler is, for the present at least, at
an end.
