in favor Of employing contrabands to
do Our fighting in this rebellion. Not

squeanIIshness of having white men

cause we can employ them otherwise to

Sitting in his edtorial-room, The
editor of the Gazette can see no impro-
prtefy in placing the negro side by side
with the white soldier on the field Of
battle, but if they can be elsewhere
employed, he thinks perhaps it would
be better MOTTO place them in the ranks.

is rich in mctass-iron, copper, and gold, havc
been readily obtained. It abounds with cattle
and poultry, and It's watcrs with excellent fish
Including oysters Of superior favor and size.
Large regions Of it are highly fertile and ST.

Which that vigorous republic is rapidly extend

The Sins of England. .

The outsivinss in tho London Tines, and
other British Journals, that VIC Of the North,
III our stone fleets, ETC., are conducting war
against civilization, etc, provoke many q re-
tort. The Ford says:
The dungeons Of the Tower; tle ilcshless
and grinnipg skulls, which, Of old, formed the
appropriate ornaments Of Temple Bar; the
bloody assizcs Of Je1rics; the rayagcs Of
Clayerhouse; the massacre Of DroShcda and
Glencoe; the Indian tomahawk aud the scalp
ing knife employed in our war OF the Reyolu-
tIon; the victims Of the old jersey prison
ship; the Hindoo rebels, whose living bodies
were rss1nnled into mortlrs and Tired into the
air-all bear witness to the nlurderous revenge
with which England visits rebellion against
hcr authority. And this is the England which
exhorts us to forgive our rebels and acknowl
edge the new Dahomey in our Southern States
in The interest Of humanity and cotton.
