TAKE NOTICE. EVERYBODY /!
R@ The bill for the emarcipation Of

RG- The bill for the emancipation of
the slaves in the District of Columbia had
hardly obtained the signature Of the Presi-
dent, before two other measures of vital
Importance passed the United States
Senate. One of these is the ratification of
a new treaty with Great Britain for the
suppression of the African slave trade, and
the other Mr.. Summers bill establishing
diplomatic relations with the Republics OF
Liberia and Hayti. Both of these measures
ought to have been passed long ago, but the
pro-slavery faction who had control of the
Government resisted them with such viru-
lence as always to insure their defeat. By
this conduct of our law makers the trade of
Hayti-one of the most productive of the
West India Islands, and whose commerce is
more valuable than that efMexico--was being
lost to US, and monopolized by other nations
who were not so squeamish on the question
of color.
Liberia, too, is steadily growing in con-
sequence, and it is of no little importance
that her trade be secured to this Govern
meut whittier it naturally tends, most o.
the residents of that little Republic having
been colonized from this country. The
manufacturing establishments Of N sI,s
gram and meat growers of the West and
Northwest viii pocket many dollar that
would otherwise have been lost to them.
The recognition of these Republics neces-
sarily involves recognition Of their EN-
bassadors at Washington and their Consuls
at our principal seaports. What spasms
must afiict the chivalry of Charleston,
Savannah, Mobile, and New OrIeaus, at the
bare thought Although many of the
wealthy merchants in those cities trust large
financial interests of their own with ne
groes, they will be Mortified at the idea of
recognizing negro as agent even of a
negro Republic.
But it is thought white man will be Sc
lected by Hayti to represent its interests at
Washington, and we presume Liberia will
follow the example, and thus relieve any
anxiety of our Southern friends on this
score.

Under the impression that the federal hat
terry had been silenced, the gunboats drew
near the shore, apparently for the purpose

riAemen permitted them to come within
point blank range, when all at once the
sharp crack of 200 rifles was heard, and

EGThe editor of the Indianapolis Jour-

in letter to his paper that we do not re-
member to have seen anywhere else. We

with great effect on the rebel column adj
vancing to reinforce Beauregard, Sherman
seemed entirely absorbed in watching the
splendid practice. A rebel charge drove
back his own Division a short distance
while he was thus engaged. Some one
called his attention to his men" General
Sherman, your Division is falling back
Turning lstlessly about, he brought his
glass to bear upon the retreating line
and said, with the air of man who
thought it a fact worth noticing, but none
of his bushes to do anything about it, $50

however, and regained their ground. as
The Morton Battery, of our State, Cap
tain Baer, met with unusual bad fortune on
Sunday. The Captain was killed, and Eve
of the guns taken. Enough, or nearly
enough, pieces were taken to replace them,
but the men didn't consider that q compen-
sation. They insist warmly that they were
blindly ordered by General Shermrn right
into rebel battery, where they had no
chance to resist So close did they go to
the rebel line, before they discovered their
error that they were hailed with, +" Don't
run; it's no use. We've got you'll" and the
Captain of the rebel battery ordered his men
