PROM t0e 1[. LOUIE DemoCIAT, 1ue9dAT.3
Among the secesh prisoners now confined in
the Medical College, there are, as We under
stand, sixteen Slaves, captured IS part Of the
secession force in the western part Of this
State. We beg leaye to call the attention Of
Gen. Ha|leck to the fact, as one properly re-
quiring some action These men must be
deemed to have been " required or permitted
to take up arms against the United States'' By
their masters, and so come within the pur7ieW

TO their freedom. There Is not only the or
dinary: legal presumption in this case against

wholly in the power Of the master, could not

Some one may say they shp11d be 1etafned

clearly untenablc. a slave In the poWet Of q
master is incapable Of consusfttiag tyaaaoH.
Much more is he morally exempt from blame,
since every act Of = slave, In such case must
be deemed to hare been done under dmess,
and so the act Of the mister alone. There is
ne reason, therefore, for OBTAINING these slaves
in prison a day, and every consideration Of
policy, no less than Of just principle, requires
their discharge. There is no reason, legal or
other, why these slavee should not be deemed
loyal, true Union men and fcemen. This, It
will be observed, Is not urging new policy In

We call attention to Gov. Saunders's pro-
clanlation, commanding all bands or compa-
MICS Of men leagucd together for unlawful
Termination to use the power Of the Territory
to enforce the law and preserve order. Par
ticular reference is made in the proclamation
to persons styling themselves Is Jayhawkcrs,''
who have for some time infested the southern
portion Of this Territory, and recently COM
mitted there many law1css acts.
Gov. Saunders will be cordially sustained By
the entire people of Nebraska In this neigh
borhood but one opinion is entertained; that
is, to exert whatever force is required to sup
press such unlawful combinations, regardless
whether organized under color Of pretended
loyalty to the Government, or ayowed rebels.
Armed companies triycrsing the country and
pillaging peaceabfe citizens, whatever mny be
their prctcnces OF loyalty, are resisting the
law, and must be considered enemies Of the
Government.
It is to be hoped the proclamation will be
sufficient for the dispersal Of all 1auless bands
Of armed men, without resort to force Bat
snch persons may be assured the Governor Is
determined, and law abiding people, WHO com
pose vast majority Of the citizens, are in
earnest to maintain Law and order in the Ter
ritory.

TALON was addressed by several enthusiastic
officers Of the Queen, and urged to come for

talion only turned out three patriots ready to
serve ut days notice. The 1st Battalion,
commanded by Sir Allan McSab, was even
moro backward tlan the 9th, though how that
could be, it is not easy to sec. The fact VIC
believe to he that the Canadians, rs people,
arc as little inclined for war as we are They
hare been misrepresented by few shameless

gineered into their present seeming attitude
By the Combined efforts Of secession ennis
