This was the legitimate exercise of
pro-consular power. Later he became
satisfied that with success must termin-
ate slavery in some form. 1t was suff-
Gent by which it must cease as pollti-
cal power, and as social fact. The
events OF the war showed there could be
no lasting peace while slavery exists on
this continent Therefore all other con-
siderations apart, and solely with a view
to suppress the rebellion, he was in favor
of the Immediate abolition of slavery.
Abolition should be effected so as to
deprive the enemy of his great means of
resistance. Wherever Fthe flag of the
country waves, let it float over free men,
and let loyalty to it be an answer to all
questions, and all the passport that is re-
quired.
1t was sometimes urged that liberty to
the slaves woald be an injustice to the
loyalists of the south How could war
be carried on without requiring sacrifices.
Undoubtedly those who proved to be 10y
al would be paid for their losses.
The unionists of the north had made
sacrifices in giving their lives and those
they held most dear to them. Such loss
es could never be repaired. SO he be-
heved the unionists of the south would
be ready to make sacrifices. 1t was his
belief however that there were not so
many unionists at the south as had been
supposed, and the numbers were decreas
ing.
! The dangers of their positions and the
uncertainty of the success of the Gov
eminent had produced this unanimity-
In the whole valley of Virginia there was
not Union man, and he was certain
not Union woman with them.
1t was now only question as to the
manner of separation. The northern
people did not realize how long the south
ern people have been preparing for dis
union. They were united and determin-
ed in their rebellion, and to meet them
successfully, every advantage must be
employed. a-fGa9s sDaoT

Manassas, Bull Run and Centreville 1t
is said the rebels have captured two out of
four New Jersey regiments stationed at
Centreville
Gen. Hooker's brigade is reported to
have checked the advance of the rebels
at Centreville and driven them back to

cupies the left bank of the 0ccoquan riv-
err A large force is marching to meet
them and to assist in opening a way to
Gen. Pope and Gen. Burnsides. If the
movement is successful, it will doubtless
place the rebel army in worse position
than that in which the main body Of our
troops is now in, as they can, if neces-
sary, fall back to Fredericksburg and
reach Washington by river. On the
other hand, if jackson is cut off his army
may be cut off and destroyed. The
