Especial Correspondence Of the Chicago Tribune.1
CAAr Ro1LA, No., jan. 10th. 1862.
Fer sumo time the I'LL absorbing topic Of
thought and conversation, not only at this
point, but III many parts Of Illinois, has been
The trial by the court martial, which las been
in Session here Of late, Of Col Nicholas Greu-
sci Of the Goth Illinois volunteers, upon
charges preferred against him by William
Walhcr, formerly First Lieutenant Of Com
pany I, and I. n. Buck, formerly
Lieutenant and Rcgimcntal Quartcrmaster
The merits and dement's Of this case have
been 60 generally discussed by those inter-
tEted iD the Seth, that it would be useless for
1c to make even brief statement Of the case;
hut ii will be cause Of rejoicing to the
friends Of Col. Grcuscl and lis splendid resi-
mcnt- acknowledged by tbs best judges to
be unsurpassed By any in The seryice--to
know that this yczcd question is at last salts
tactori]y settled, and that thu Colonel has been
triumphantly acquitted, and his character
completely yindicated from I'LL the malicious
attacks Of Ills enemies. This desired result is in
ii great measure due to the testimony Of Col
Brackrlt Of the 9Th Illinois Cavalry, who was
called Us one Of tue witnesses. The long ex-
periencc in the regular army, the thorough
knowledge OF military law and military nsages,
and the clear and explicit statements Of
gentleman Of Col. B. s, higl standing, placed
the matter in 20 clear q light that there could
be but one conclusion in regard to it.

The steamboat John A. Warner, from

FAIR ESTIMATE OF THE NEGRoEs.-
Those who expect any special demonstrations
by the Southern negroes as consequence Of
the Presidents proclamation will probably be
disappointed, Mr.. w. h Hurlburt, the cor
respondent Of the n Y Times. who was so
long detained at the South, says in one Of
his recent letters -
"Of course there are negroes, and not a
few of them, who by their natural good sense
or their accidental advantages Of education,
are enabled To understand enough Of passing
events to make them associate the name Of
the Yankee with their own hopes of liberty.
But the average negro Of the South has un-
questionably mbibed a vague horror and dis
like of the Yankee, horror dnd dislike
which time and experience will no doubt
wear away, but which must be expected to
cooperate with the natural doclity and cat
like local attachments OF the negro race in
making the negroes subseryient to the war
policy Of their masters wherever the armies
of the Union fail actually to fix themselves,
and TO sulercede the old social order by a
new. Even the intelligent among the blacks,
those who comprehend the meaning nf the
freedom they desire ana are willing to do
their part toward securing it, are too intelh-
gent not to recognize the fact that there is a
mass Of negro ignorance and prejudice to be
overcome before the slaves can be made to
put forth their hands to the armies Of the
North"
