GEN. MANSFIELD on CONTRA
BANDS.

Brig. Gen. j. X. S. Mansfield Of the rcgu-
lar army, has written a letter to the commits
sion sent to Fort Monroe to inquire into the
condition of the refugee negroes, giving his
views on the negro question. lie divides the
~eontrabands into four classes Wequote
J.. Those abandoned by their rebel owners, and
compelled to ask for work and support.
.. Those who have run away from their owners,
the rebels, to obtain their freedom from control.
). Those who have been put at work BY their
rebel owners on the Notifications, &c, TO resist the
Government, and have made their escape.
4. Free negroes who seek work for a support.
The question now arises as TO these HegrOes. i
the United States bound 10 hold them as slaves,
and deprive them Of their right to 60 where they
please , II is clear that they are not prisoners Of
war, for they have never been found in arms, and
have made their escape to avoid taking part
against the United States, or have been abandon
ed 10 the United States, as rebels have abandoned
lands, houses, cattle &c. and are human beings
cast on the world with nothing but their hands 70
obtain a livelihood. some Of them having worked
on abel for;ifsaiions, &C, are released (under the
18th section o; the act OF Congress Of tue 9Th Of
August, 1861, 70 eonfscate property from further
service 10 their mastcrs-and in such cases what
is their position Why, simply that Of any per-
son in the country released By law from The pay
reut Of an Obligation free person.
All these negroes, With the exception Of the
fourth class, arc or have been claimed as property
BY the very rebels who have taken up arms against
the L.. States, and are lawful plumber, If property.
But they are not property, but persons held 10 la
Dor under the Constitution in certain States, and
no where else: and are not bound or held 20 labor
for the United States, and consequently they are
not slaves 70 the United States. Il Is clear the
condition Of slaves with them was co-existcnt with
the obligation Of the Confederate slave states %
the Constitution and Laws Of the United States,
against which they are in open armed rebellion.
Now what are these negroes Are they not
freemen by this state OF rebellion ? By the act Of
secession. the Confederate States have voluntarily
broken the Constitution and Laws Of the Union,
and have taken up arms against that Constitution
and those Laws, the United States are thereby alb
solved from the enforcement Of the fugitive slave
law, even II - absurd a claim were put forth. II
this statement be true, they are entitled a. labor
ers to all the wages they can earn, aud 70 60 where
they please; and | would that all their
earnings be paid to them while in the United states
employ, and that all officers and others who employ
them in this department be required to pay them
a just compensation. and that they be allowed TO
improve their condition, if opportunity should
admit.

THE sELECTMEN's REPORT.

The Report of the Selectmen Of the Town Of
Burlington for the year ending Feb. l. 1862,
is printed and in process of distribution to
those who seek for it. II Is an interesting
document to the voters of the Town.
Last year the reports of the Jail Account,
and the Auditors report, for the year ending
the last day of January 1851, were not rem
dered in time for publication, and the Town
ordered their publication in the Selectmen's
Report for this year. They appear in this
report, directly preceding the corresponding
reports of the past year. We hope the voters
will look through those reports carefully, and
notice how large an expense is brought upon
them by inforioation. Almost the whole Of
it, of course, comes from the lagitious viola
ton of the law against the sale of intoxica-
ting drinks by persons who care more for the
chanc toe make a little money. than they
d. for the good of individuals, the comfort Of
families, and the peace and order Of Society.
The Town Agency for the sale Of liquors,
according to the report, has paid a net profit
to the Town Treasury Of 1872, though the
amount of liquor sold has been less than for
merly, and, the SeIectmen say sold at a less
profit on the cost.
The expense for the Poor Of the Town has
been considerably less than in the year pre-
vious.
The report Of the Town Superintendent Of
Schools gives u particular and interesting
statement concerning every School District
in Town. We are GLAD to see a general i'm
proyement recorded. What exceptions there
are, We hope viii rapidly disappear.
The subject of Highways and the expendi-
lures thereon, as treated Of ia tue report, is
likely 10 draw attention. The Stlectmen
evidently find considerable to diapproye in
the management OF last year and they are
not alone in their opinions. There is a great
room for improvement in this branch Of our
Town affairs.
The Selectmen give the voters the com
Portable piece of information that by the de-
cision Of Court, the Town is saddled with
about $4,000, by reason Of the faulty action
of Mr., Taylor the Constable of former years
and the failure Of his bondsmen. This item
is not brought into their estimates for the
year 1862. They estimate that a tax OF 40
cents on the dollar of the Grand List, with
- T. 80
meet all demands against the town, except
the $4,000 above mentioned.
Every year adds to the proof that the publ
cation in detailo of the Town accounts, reports,
&C., for the use of the voters before March
meeting, is of great utility. We notice that
the practice of SO doing Is on the increase ia
the State. If every Town would adopt it,
the benefit would be incalculable.

THE OPENING OF THE MISSISSIPPI.

Columbus, Ky. was evacuated by the
rebels on Saturday. 1t was a military ne
cessity for them 50 to do. for the Federal
forces were not far in their rear on both sides,
and q very few days would have shown them
completely surrounded. Aud in the same
way they will be driven out of every position
they hold ON the Mississippi as far down as
Memphis.
1t Is stated that there are five fortified places
held by the rebels between Columbus and
Memphis. Three, those at Hickman, at
New Madrid and at the State Line, they will
evaeuate Immediately, or be at once sur
rounded, for the centre Of their line at Nash
VILE is broken by our troops, and their left
flank cannot sustain itself alone. They
must fall back or be driven back.
The first available stand is Fort Randolph,
about GO miles above Memphis. This is ON the
bluffs, which are 100 feet above the river, and
command a view Of the Mississippi river for six
mikes each way. If this position should be
abandoned-and the facility with which the
rbels leave their strougholds elsewhere, at
the approach Of our forces, renders the sup
position not absurd-no strong defence could
be made at Memphis, and below Memphis we
have no knowledge Of any fertilization of
consequence The river is then clear to New
OrleSns aad Com Foote'S punbOats can
descend that river as they assembled the Ten
nessoe. Their mail clad prows will soon open
the Great River again to the Flag of the
United States.

The COUNCIL OF CENsoRs.-The Brattle-
boro PhGmr thinks it very presuming for
Editions of Newspapers TO assume the author
ity to cali a State Convention, or singly or
collectively to nominate a ticket for Council
of Censors. 1t thinks the proper way is for
the respective State Committees of the politi-
cal parties to unite in a call for a nominal.
ing convention, and it's adde
"If the people of Vermont do not care to elect
Council of Censors it is their privilege to re-
frain from doing so. But it will be we'll to bear
in mind that a Council riH, in all human proba-
bility, be elected, as a plurality of votes elects,
and half a dozen votes, if no more are cast, will
constitute as valid an election as forty thousand
votes could effect even if they were ali agreed
In this view of the case it does seem to us that
some Importance should be attached to this cleo
ton, and as much by those who object TO any
constitutional revision and amendment as by those
who are in favor of both. If no action whatever
is had in the way of nominating a suitable ticket
it may and is not unlikely to happen that a body
Of mel will be elected who viii occasion the State
more expense than is sought TO be saved by those
who are opposed to the calling off Constitution
al Convention on economical considerations.
The experiences Of 1857 are sufficiently OBJ vi
Gus and palpable to preclude any desire for their
repetition.
The Montpelier Freeman withdraws its
call for a Mass Convention at Montpelier on
the 9th, and adopts that OF the Rutland
Herald for one at Burlington on the 18th,
and Walton's Journal concurs with it. The
Burlington lines als3 takes up with the
Rutland Herald's call. No doubt Burling-
ton is dc suitable a place Tor such a Conven-
tion a any one IN the State, ana tie 18th Of
March Is a better day for the purpose than
tie Gu would BE-, because 1t is more distant,
and te notice, such as it is, can be more
widrly Anown. No doubt if the several State
Committees of the political parties would
unite in a call it would be deemed more au-
thoritatise BY many than any one now made;
but we do not learn that there is any proba-
bility of their doing SO. One thing is GER
tain, riz. that q Council of Censors of some
.ort will be elected. For the information of

Mr.. j. B. Wheeler offered the following
preamble and resolution /:

pioounpio nuu iuoAutiou
Whereas, One hundred years from the date Of
the Charter of tho Town of Burlington, will
have expired on the It'll day of June, A D.,
1868, therefore,
RESOLVED, That the Selcctmen this day elected,
together with John N. Pomeroy, f.. M. Van
Sicklen and Louis Follett, Esqrsy be appointed
q Committee to propose q plan tor Centennial
celebration OF the inhabitants Of this town, to be
unlimited to the voters Of the town In Town
Meeting assembled at the March Meeting OF 1868
The resolution was adopted, and John b.
Wheeler was added to the Committee.
MIR. Sawyer offered the following preamble
and resolution :
Whn cas-, The Statute expressly provides that
towns may ~stipulste and agree with their first
constable, as TO the rate Of compensation Tor
collecting their taxes, and may require that the
compensation. when too high, may be reduced
to a reasonable rate, therefore,
Resolved, That the first constable be required
to collect the taxes, State, county and tosn, OF
the town Of Burlington, for the ensuing year, at
the rate of two per cent on the monies collected;
and that the Selectment be directed to collect OF
the first constable, and put into the Treasury OF
the town, the five per cent of the State and county
taxes not subject to abatement.
The resolution was dismissed, and the meet
ing was adjourned.
The meeting was about as full as usual,
and though there was some disagreement on
two or three points, everything proceeded
with courtesy and good humor.
As to what was done, nothing calls Tor
special remark except the decision to dis
continue the election Of Street Commissioners
and to return to the old practice of having
| the highway business Of the town done
under the direction of highway surveyors
elected for the several highway districts.
We are not aware that the subject of such a
change OF policy had been under discus
sion among the voters generally. The pro
position for it, by Mr.. Carolus Noyes, was
certainly unexpected by many, and the en-
tire discussion in the meeting was briet com
pared with the Importance of the subject, and
was mainly occupied with presenting super
fetal and temporary reasOns-Or those OF
a very limited local bearing. In the minds Of
many a dissatisfaction with the Gdmmistrd
lon of the Street Commissioner department
of late was the chief influencing cause of th'
decision which was made-a cause which il
no manner touched the real merito of thu
question. The change to the old system
many of the best judges on the subject be.
lieve, will prove to be a costly and IN thu
end an unsatisfactory experiment.
