tioly, to the fact that my State 1s not Border

hostile arms Of the rebellion. The fact Is .

FROM CURTIS COLUMN.

Major Wallis, Of Col. Brackets Illinois
cavalry, has just returned from Helena,
Arkansas, the point now occupied by Gen.
Curtis and his eight thousand troops. We
lesrn from him that it is the opinion Of the
army that the niggers in Arkansas are as a
class superior TO the poor whites whom they
CHANGED to meet. He has had to1erab1o
opportunity to form an accurate judgment
In the premises, inasmuch as when the
force reached Helena, almost any number
Of slaves between 1000 and 5000 were
marching in the rear. These Gen. Curtis
used in any way dictated by the demands
Of the situation. They proved Invaluable
in hunting up and bringing in food, acting
as scouts and guides, and in clearing the
reads Of rebel barricades erected every
where along the route. Our Weste. n boys
were very thankful for their aid, and to it
they attribute no iuconsiderable share Of
The Major further says that the prejudices
| which might have existed in the army
against the employment Of men Of color in
any way that they can be made useful, have
entirely disappeared; and that soldiers who
| we're the most rantankerous Of Democrats
when they started from home have become
practical AboGHonlsts, to whom the work
Of liberation is now positive delight. The
j; meanness, treachery and maligniy Of the
rebels, manifested in every way in which
these qualities can be exercised, have
wrou.ht this wonderful conversion. O.
the health Of the men the Major speaks f.
vorably. The work imposed upon then
has been unavoidably hard; but the heayi
est nnd most disagreeablo duties Of th
camp were cheerfll1y assumed by tn
: blacks, who now expect their free paper
: for what they have done. The sick wer
tenderly cared for by these same sable Sa
: n,aritans. As they were hauled along il
; the rear in ambulances, wagons and carr
ages, their condition was greatly mitigate
l by the attentions which the now fecmc
were able to bcstow. More than one bray
| fellow owes his life to their good offices.
t We propose to have Curtis arrested. Il
I has violated Order No. 3, repeatedly, vi
e fully and contumaciously. Before Gel
: Halleck goes out of the department, Il
= him make an example Of 8 man who III
g done something by negro assistance, ell
b the pernicious policy will become so COZ
r tsgious that some West Pointer will cate
e it, and some rebel get hurt in his tcndere
e part before stop can be put to it.

that Dr.. David Prince, Of that Gig, who was
brigade surgeon in the army Of the Poto-

mond. An unfinished letter written by him
and sent BY some other person, which was re-
ceived b5 his family some days ago, left little
doubt on the subject But the Richmond
Dispatch, received at Baltimore on the 12:h,
mentions his name among the prisoners, and
a1so states that be was wounded. Much anx

Hon. Schuyler Co1fax, Of Indiana. said IN
late apeecb IN Washington that be seemed to
see star of promise in the horizon, ne"
policy in the conduct OF the war daWntug.
The voice Of the pebble had spoken in the
senste that day, and. he believed that tue
president would heed it He believed that
Ine war would hcncefor~ard be conducted on
-Tar principles, and that to7al soldiers who
had 1tft happy homes to expose themselves
and to forfeit their lives In the serTice of Their
country, would no longer be detailed to
gua1d the property Of rebels who were doub1y
traitors.
To which we respond, God grant it. The
adoption Of such policy will sage = vast
s1nount OF money and muldtudes Of lives.
We are wagiDg war With treacherous, relent-
less, fmplacah1e enemy, and why do we not
realize the fact? Why do men Of talents and
patriotism speak and write BY the hour about
the constitutional rights Of rebels, and ths
duty of protecting rebel property Toe

PRISONERS RRALEAsRD.-Ou correspondent
at Huntsville, Alabama, with Gen. Mitchelrs
Division, writes on the Goth of May, that sew
en- hundred and fifty Of our men taken pris-
oners at the battle of Shiloh, have been parol-
ed and arrived at that point. The rebel poll
cy just now seems t, be favorable te the ex-
change of prisoners. They probbaly do not
wish to be burdened with the care of our troops
who have fallen into their hands and hence
are emptying their prisons. 1t certainly would
be good policy on our part to release at least
as many psoners as are returned of our men.
There are nearley twenty thousand rebels now
held as prisoners. and their support is a con
side able item in the cost Of the war.-Cin.

The time has been since the break ing ou
Of this rebellion that We should have beer
grati6ed to witness the consolidation of al
parties into one overwhelming war and anti,
slavery OF Iganization. We would still be
pleased ifsuch result could be accomplished
The friends Of this measure have long since
given it up. however. as the diseased and nearly
worn out Democracy, stimulated by the trea.
sonable addresses of Vallsndigham is again
preparing with an energy worthy Of better
of better cause, to embark in one more
fierce struggle fc' the protection and pres.
ervation of slavery. -....
To meet. then. this enemy of free labor
and we may say the enemy of this government
the Republican State Central Committee has
called on tho members of the Republican
party, and all those who can endorse its prin-
ciples, TO meet at the county seat of their re.
spective counties, organize and send delegates
to State Convention, to be held at Des.
moines on tho Esd day of Ju'y next for the
purpose of nominating candidates for State
Offices That this call will be promptly re.
sponded to there is Nd doubt, and although
the nation is struggling in the throes of civil
war, the coming election promises to be as
hotly contested IS those of years gone by.
In view of this fact it behooves US to take
hold of the matter in earnest, and perfect ar
rangements that, when accomplished, w'll
prove the total defeat and utter tt' - H.
political enemy. Since the organization Of
our forces we have ousted from the control of
the nation . party, under whose fostering
care slavery has ancreased and extended until
IN its strength it attempted to tear down the
noble structure Of our Government and build
upon its ruins pro-slavery oligarchy. We
have effsctually blotted out the foul stain upon
the District of Columbia for all time to come,
and disseminated our doctrines In localities
where, year ago, Republican would have
been mobbed, go thoroughly thet voluntary
emancipation is an established certainty. We
have furnished homo on the fertile prairies
of the West to every man who chooses to
accept it, and we have administered tho laws
and conducted every department of the Gov
,ernment in such a manner that even the
crowned heads Of Europe, who predicted the
speedy destruct: or of the Republic, are forced
to view US with respect.
Notwithstanding all this has been accom-
,plished, much yet remains to be done. and
while we are fighting the avowed enemies of
our Government upon the field with sword
and bayonet, we must throttle its secret ene-
nmies here among US at the ballot box. That
we will overcor them both all in due time
we are morally certain. Let US be up, then,
and doing.
