The Cincinnati Gazette, in expressing
an opinion that the Corinth army has gone
TO oreinforoe the army at Richmond prepar-
atOry to an attempted invasion Of the
North, pertinenfly says:
"And Whenetwe come to thinklOf it,
What other policy could be so shrewd on
their part. They-haFe nothing TO fear
from our occupation of fhe South. They
know that Wliereyer there is q dashing reb-
el in the South there is bevy Of Yankees
vieine with each other which shall guard
most carefully him. his wife, his fence rails
and his chattels. Beauregard knows that
Butler is furnishing civalrOus and distin-
ruished protection to Madame BeauFegard
II New Orleans The rebels know that We
are engaged in. the South, several hundred
thousand strong guarding any weak
points they may have. g., Slavery and
lack Of food Why, then, leaving their
families ahdsr snch pleasant auspices,
should they not take a summer excursion
foS cooler climate, burning a few North
ern cities in their route2 None at all"

Rmaueipatfen Of Slaves in the Dutch Colo
urTw q #.Nfl MES t# ..H
rHBy our last arrivals we have learned the
fnai action of the Dutch Government in re-
spect to the abolition Of slavery in its colo
MES. No further inlP0riAtion Of slaves is
to be allowed a. Java and the neighbOring
islands. Those already there are being
nearly freed under progressive emaacipa-
ton. In,the West Indies, similar steps
have been taken. A Surniam paper says
flsat an lthea slaves IN the Dutch ! 7eriean
possessions are to befree on the i # July,
1858. on the following eondi6 s. lst
Anindemnity 70 be paid to the oprietofs
Of each slave, man, woman or c I'D, of three
hundred Fuilders, or about one hundred
and twenty dollars, United States money +;
I'd. The slaves are to be subjected TO sys-
TEN Of lapprentieeship on the plantations
for three years, and receive for their labor
certain amount Of wages, One-half Of
whichis TO be paid to the Government.
The Dutch possessions in America are
Guiana. ST. Eustatius, Curacao, st. Martin
and Saba Guiana contains a population
Of fifteen thousand souls, and thirty-seven
thousand five hundred blacks. ST. Eusta-
this. a leeward island, has i've thousand
whites and twenty thousand blacks, and
has been insfhe tindisturbed possession Of
tie Dutch since 1914. rv.ur..t ~
Ofthe number Of slaves in the other col
opies, We have no account. tits well known
however, that Curocoa once carried on 0
very extensive slave trade from the port Of
st. Barbara.
Z Thus steadily does the work Of emanci
patton proceed throughout the world, TO b
followed up, beyond all question, in som'
philanihropic and satisfactory form, by
sililaF movement in this country. {
