Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1862-09-25

From all parts Of the country we hear
but one opinion among loyal men of the
late proclamation of President Lincoln,
and that one of unallOyed pleasure, and
expressed in tones of joy and gratuls-
ton. Ii cuts the Gordon knot-severs it
at blow, and this takes from the South
its greatest ally and gives to the North the
high moral prestige Of a Republic without
slavery.
In casting of and eradicating the foul
plague spot which has made the American
Union bye-word and areproach to other
nations, for we claimed to be the freest
people upon earth while we held millions
of human beings in slavery, President
Lincoln has made himself a name that will
live in history among the greatest and the
best of his or Of any other generation.
Our victorious armies now feel that they
are fighting the great battle of freedom
against slaTery-that their hands are no
longer to be tied and otherwise hampered,
by the protection Of al Institution accursed
both by God and man, and every nerve
will be now strained no laggard, doubling,
hesitating step will be taken. But on
ward, in serted hosts, they will move, con-
fdent that the promise made will be car
ried out, and the rebel hOrdes and rebel
followers alike lose that menial support
which has made them rich, proud, arrogant,
and traitors to their country.
The South must now be peOpled by free
labor, for we hold that the issue of this
proclamation has struck the death blow to
southern treason, and it will when sub
dued be made to blossom as the rose by
the " genius of universal emancipation"
All glory then to the President of the peo-
ple's choice for his frmness in the right
for the stalwart blow be has struck for
Freedom, and for the peace and future
tranquility Of the Union.

THE INDIAN DIFF1oULTrEs.

Colonel SIbIey's Correspondence with Hole
tn-the-Day and other Chelsea DisPOsi-
tOn TO Make Peace.
The st. Paul Pioneer and Democrat Of
the 18th instant, contains a letter from
Little Grow, Chief of the Sioux, to Colo
mel Sibley, in which he says he wants to
know In what way he can make peace for
his people. He also says that the white
prisoners in his possession are as we'll
treated as his own people.
Letters from the Sioux Chiefs Wabsshaw
and Taopi, are Of friendly character,
and denounce Little Crow as the cause of
all the difficulties.
It is evident thst the Sioux are much di-
Vided and quarreling among themselves.
Col. Sibley requested Crow to give up
his prisoners, and tells WabashaW and Ia
opi that he will meet them and their
friends in open day, and adds: Il am
powerful enough to crush all those who
attempt to oppose my march, and to pun
ish those who have washed their hands in
innocent blood"
The Pioneer Of the 18th instant, says
that the Chippewa Embassy have return
ed, and that they successfully settled all
questions Of dispute, and left the Indians
in more cordial and friendly state of
mind than has existed in many years.
Nearly all the Chiefs were present and
signed q treaty of perpetual friendship, at
Crow Wing on the 18th instant, whereup-
on the whole band prepared to leave for
their homes, all satisfied, and Hole-in-the-
Day promises to disperse his men.

11srh regiment O.V.

This model regiment is yet at Camp
Chase, under the efficient supervision of
the gallant Colonel Wilcox of Columbus.
All officers and men are up at Eve, and have
eight hours drill each day. No officer or
man can pass out of camp without writ
ten pass from the Colonel, so that the off,
GERS are not seen, as is frequently the case,
lOunging about the streets and public hou-
ses Of the city, but all at work drilling
their men. This is as it should be, but
regret to say not practiced everywhere as
strictly as it should be. The Colonel and
Lieutenant Colonel both attend squad and
company drill every day. At five in the
morning, the Colonel drills the commits
stoned officers, and the Lieutenant Colonel
nOn-eOmnissiOned officers, and from seven
to ten in the evOning, the Colonel has an
officers school at his quarters.
The sanitary condition Of the regiment,
under the thorough supervision Of Sur
geons Black, Harlow and Upton is good.
Camp is thoroughly cleansed every morn
ing, tents and blankets aired, perfect quiet
and order prevail throughout the lines on
Sunday, and as yet divine service is held

worthy clergyman volunteering to WELD

Department Of the Gulf:
My DEAR SIR IL have in this institu-
tion several children born in the prison Of
female conviets, between the ages of one
and ten years. By the laws Of the State
of Louisiana these children are State
property, and the custom has been to sell
them into slavery at the age of ten years,
and appropriate the proceeds to the pur-
poses of State expenditure. In view Of the
evacuation Of the city, and possibly the
abandonment Of this institution, it has be-
come q serious matter what shall be done
with these children. Knowing your SEN
timents too well to believe that you will
order these prisoners, who have never yet
been beyond the confines Of the peniten-
tiary, sent into slavery, and not caring to
take responsibility which you would 50
willingly assume, 1 ask to be directed with
regard to these children Of incarcerated
parents.
Very respectfully, your Obedient ser
want, MOSES BATES,

not their fault.
You are therefore to take such care Of

some claim; bnt l do not see how the State
should have any. am very respectfully
