N. York, (per thousand strong,)

Senator Henderson, of Missouri, lately
said that in his opinion the number of
slaves in Missouri had been reduced from
a hundred and fifteen thousand TO Fifty
thousand since the war began. The
Frederick Examiner, Of Maryland saws
that slaves have recently been sold in
that State for about one-sixth of the
price they would have commanded before
the outbreak of the rebellion. we have
no figures TO guide us in judging Of the
diminuGon in the numbers and the de-
probation in the value Of the slaves in
Kentucky and Tennessee. But many
must have rua away, and the value Of
those who remain must have declined.
The Frederick Examiner declares the
fate Of slavery is sealed in Maryland. It
is scarcely probable that the institution
would ever regain its former strength in
the border States even if the war should
cease at once Tho same causes which
have weakened il there must also weaken
il in the more Southern states as tho
war moves on towards the Gulf Each
succeeding day shows more and moro
conclusively that it was a suicidal blow
which slavery struck when il opened the
rebellion

THE REBEL GUEBoATs ON THE MIS-
sIssIPPI.-A correspondent writing from
Commodore Foote'S Aotilla says that in
addition TO the six new gunboats men
toned in a late letter. there are three
others at Memphis, two of them formerly
coasting vessels They have four or five
guns each, and are partially clad with
iron, but would offer little resistance to
the Union ilotilla. The rebels have a
floating battery also, covered with iron a
quarter of an inch thick, with .slanting
sides, and mounting six large guns. This
implement of war is not formidable, and
could easily be sunk, The Manassas
ram is usually regarded as a failure in
the South. 1t has but one gun. nine
inch Dahlgrcen, and when fred it often
draws blood from the eyes and ears of
the crew by tho conclusion of the at

The insidious and sly remark in the
following paragraph from the Gazette of
January %, 1862, about the deceased
being Union man." will strike the
reader as having strange meaning in
the connection where il is employed:
HouCDE.-We learn that an alterca-
ton occurred yesterday in Neeley's
Bend in this county, between DR.. Banks
and man named Kascoe or Bashaw, in
which the latter was shot with doubled
barrelled shot gun, and instantly killed.
The deceased t0as regarded as a Union man,
and it is supposed that the quarrel grew
out of political differences. According
to the information we have upon the
subject it was clearly case Of justiiia-
bic homicide.
Does that mean that if man was one
of those whom the Gazette stigmatizes
as white-livered scoundreIs," detest-
able traitors" a man TO be marked by
Vigilance Committees and Knights OF
the Golden Circle, putting him out of the
way with a short shrift and long
rope was not much after oil ? But we
have clearly proven what a blessed time
the Union men enjoyed here under t1c
reign of rebeism.

Interesting questions Of inquiry in the

GENERAL burnside IN PRAYEa.-The
victories Of Roanoke aud Newben, to-
gether with the other numerous and vet
important successes Of General Burnside,
are now the theme Of grateful mention ia
every patriot home. In a recent sermon,
Bishop Clark, Of Rhode Island, made the
following personal allusion: "While he
was planning his magnificent expedition,
1t was my fortune to occupy the same
room with him in Washington, and ]
shall never forget how every morning,
we used to kneel down together aud
pray for the blessing Of God upon his
solemn work, That blessing insures his

him, the God Of Battles is his refuge"

What mas become of the magnificent
and generous School Fund provided by
this State for the education of her chill
dren ? A fund Of some 100000 was
donated and made inviozaJle by the
Constitution, which reads as follows in
Article XI, section 10, latter clause, as
follows:
"And the fund called the Common
School Fund, and all the lands and pro-
ceeds thereof, dividends, stocks and
other property of every description what
ever, heretofore appropriated by the
General Assembly of this State for the
use Of Cop,mon Schools, and all such as
shall hereafter be appropriated shall
remain perpetual find, the principal of
which shall never be diminished by
Legislative appropriation, and the inter-
est shall be inUiolajty appropriated to the
support of Common Schools throughout
the State, and for the equal benefit of
ali the people thereof; and no taO shall
be made authorizing said fund, or any
part thereof to be diverted to any other
use than the support and encouragement
of common schools"
Did King HARRIS and his Legislature
plumber this noble treasure which the
wise benevoience of the Commonwealth
had provided for training up the poor
children, and fitting them for useful and
honorable lives TO plumber such a
fund is TO rob charity herself.

Two full regiments were captured by the

MIsrAKES.-1he Butte RECORD is mistaken
when it says that we want another bridge
across the Feather Marysvlle Appeal.
The steamboat passed around your bridge,
and you asked authority from the Legislature
TO extend it, so that boats could not again pass
around it. What is that but blocking up the
river? In the same article, from which the
above extract is taken, the Appeal admits they
wanted authority TO block up the river, as fol-
lows:
1t was simply proposed by Senator Parks
bill to allow a certain portion of the tolls on
the bridge to be used to repair the damage
done by the floods, and provide against their
recurrence.
The bridge was damaged so that boats ran
up. Boats could not get up before the dam
age to the bridge. They propose to repair
damage, and provide against their recurrence,
but not TO block up the riverl Or perhaps it
is the recurrence of floods that they meant the
Legislature to prevent. The Legislature hav-
ing already accomplished so much for Marys-
vile, her expectations of its power appear to
be unlimited.
2. S.-Don't owners of toll bridges usually
do what they please with their receipts, with
out asking the Legislature?

pervisors are the heaviest sufferers by the Re
port. They refer to the old Board, for the
last two years. The Supervisor who handled
the County Pump catches ducking of parti-

diers under Gen. McClernand, at Fort Donel-

US as if the Express man has been sold by
