A special dispatch to the New York Herald
says
It is limited that portion of the extra ap.
preparation OF thirty millions, which passed the
Senate yesterday, is covertly designed to de-
fray the expenses OF uniforming and armine
negroes to fight on the Union side during the
fever season down South. It is said we shall
have under this appropriation a margin of fit
teen millions for red breeches and frelocks
for the Greeiy Brigade.

Destroyamg Cotto,s.'
vii. jour.

The opinion is entertained by few persons tlat
the policy of burning cotton is all wrong, but this
view of the subject must exelude the fact that the
Yankee Government regards cotton as contraband
OF war, and has, from the beginning, seized and aP
p7oprated to their own use, every bale they could
lay their paws upon, whether belonging to individ
uals or to the Confederacy. So that, in point of
fact the destruction of all property held and treat
ed by the enemy as contraband, rather than let it
fall into their hands, far from being patriotic
act, ought to be bounden duty. We had just as
we'll give to the enemy much money to be used
for the prosecution of the war against u.s. We had
just as well furnish him powder and ammunition,
or meat and bread to feed his army while engaged
in cutting the throats of our people. IF the enemy
would buy our cotton and give us in exchange such
articles as necessities require, then it would be-
folly burn it. Or if he would raise his blockade
and allow to pass to foreign market with our
cargoss, then it would be unnecessary and unwise'
to destroy it.
But when we consider that one of the objects of
this unkoly war against the South is to get cotton
as means of over subiusation it certainly cannot
be considered wise TO destroy it, and with it
all the other products OF southern soil likely to fall
into the enemys hands. Sal. Watchnsdn.

r,on or the burden Of taxation 10 pay The price
of The slaves TO their masters. We cannat
conceive of anything better calculated; to put
TO the blush pro slavery spirit. So far from
,b,re beinp any disposition TO steal negroes,
20 rob their masters, thc North offers to pay
,ut OF the earnings OF the country, from the
National Treasury, their full share Of this bur-
den. And this is at time when hat Treas
ury is depleted by an enormously expensive
war caused entirely 10y the overbearing arro-
ganCe OF slavery. II might have been sup
posed that the North spending hundreds OF
millions IN such war, sacrificing the very
flower OF It's sons, and enduring all manner of
suffering and prirations in this abominable
civil war, would without much scruple lay tie
strong hand on the cause OF all these troubles,
and make short work with slavery. It isa
wonderful proof of its moderation, and
wonderful evidence on which side the right is,
that, while there is nothing hut insolence in
the South, the North, Mr the midst of such eX-
treme proyocation purSues so calm a. course.
The offer of compensation for the slaves, under
such circumstances and in the heart of such
war, is truly wonderful. We hope that
there will be no delay by the House in passing
the bill. The country expects it, No tax
will he SO cheerfuly paid as that which buys
the 1000 negroes of the District, and pro-
claims that the Naifonar Government is no
longer responsible for slavery. 1t is needed.
too, to put Us right with foreign nations. We
tell them that the States have the eoRare Of
slavery, and they ask why slaves clink their
chains under the walls of the Capitol. The
measure is wise, moderate, right, and we hope
Congress will no longer hesitate.

GENERAL FasMoNr,s DEPARTMENT

1t will be seen by reference to- any map Of
the United States that the Department recent
~ assigned TO General Fremont is very i'm
portant part Of the territory to be reposses ssed
by the Federal forces. 1t includes all the re-
gion between the meridian line drawa through
Knoxville, Tennessee, and the hines bounding
the operations of the Army OF the Potomac.
IL may, in general terms, he said TO be
field of Operations two hundveds rsiles vide
ard four hundred miles long. 1t extends frem
the northern part of Virginia to the southern
line of Tennessee and North Carolina. and
abuts on the northern part of Alabama and
Georgia, and on the western extremity Of
South Carolina. This is the Switzerland OF
the Southern States, and the people OF that
mountain region have. apparently, all the love
OF the Swiss for freedom and theil s.Bit of
resistance TO oppression. Western Virginia
promptly and boldly refused to accept of the
destiny prepared for II by the Wises, the Ty-
lers, the Letchers and the Floyds at Rich
mond and the people enabled, from
their coItiguty 10 OHIO and Pennsy ivania, to
make good their resistance to the Secession
oiigarchy. An advrnce will no doubt soon
rally all the loyal elements in Eastern Tennes-
see and Western North Carolina. The loyal
men oi those regions, backed by the Federal
forces and equipped with the Federal arms,
will be able to laugh at the vain etf)rts of the
dcspots of the lowlands.
The railroad from Richmond TO Knoxville
lies partly within the Department of the Noun.

toward that important line of communc ,tion.
General Garfield recently routed large Rebel
force at Pond Gap, on the border between
Lelcher county, Kentucky. and Wise county,
Tennessee. This point is ahont fifty miles
from PIketou, the scene of his former victory
over the ponderons Humphrey Marshall, and
is not more than fifty miles from Abingdon,
in Washington county, Virginia, station on
the railroad ono hundred and twenty miles
east of Knoxville. 1t would be gratifying TO
hear of onward moreMen: of the forces in
the Department OF General Fremont The
occupation of Nashville and the department
of General Buell. have already had a powerful
effect on the young men of Tennessee, making
the WAT, on the part of the rebels distasteful
TO them. The occupation Of Knoxville, the
rising OF the mountain men. the fiery words of
Browiio low, and The proclamation OF Andrew
Johnson, Will be likely to complete what Buoll
has so we'll begua.
