GREAT HAUL OF CoNTRABANDs.-It ap-
pears that among the captures made by
the late successful expedition of General
WEIrzEL, from New Orleans down the
Bayou La Fourchc, were 400 wagon loads
OF negroes-or say 1000 contrabands.
allowing ten to each wagon The rebels
had been gathering them up to carry
them farther into the interior, or perhaps
to Texas, or perhaps with the intention
of slipping them over to Cuba. Gen.
WEITzEL wrote to Gen. BUTLER for in
structions what he was TO do with them.
In response, Gen. BUTLER has issued his
instructions, that they be turned over as
free laborers to the loyal Union planters
of the neighborhood.

The Missouri Republican on Slavery

The ST. Louis Republican has for many
years been by far the ablest and most
Jealous pro. slavery journal in the South
West. 1t was regarded by the slave
holders of Missouri as their great cham
pion in every hour of trial; and when
ever the slavery question was canvassed,
it defended the patriarchal institution
with wonderful ability and earnestness.
During the canvass which has just ter
minated in Missouri, in which the Free.
soil ticket gained a signal victory, the
Republican was still the unyielding de-
fender of slavery, and was unsparing in
it's assaults on what it termed the Rad
ical party" Since the election, it has
been forced to the conclusion that it is
useless for the unnatural, absurd, unjus-
tifiable and ruinous system of African
slavery to attempt TO stem the tide of
opposition which beats upon it, on all
sides, and in its issue of the oath inst, it
makes this declaration; .u.
Prudence dictates, and a mise salesman
ship toiH meet the question, that the Legisla-
ture should take such action as will bring
the whole subject before the people for
their decision.
The institution Of slavery is doomed in Ms
souri,. OF all classes of property, it is
the most susceptible TO popular out
breaks and prejudices, and, though it
breaks up relation between master and
slave which has existed for many gener-
atoms, and in doing which the slave will
be the q eatest sufferer, 10 is right to pre-
pare for g. We hope, therefore, that the
Conservative and Democratic portions Of the
Legislature ,oiH go 10 Jefferson CITY, pre-
pared to agree upon some plan ,ohioh looks 30
the gradual emancipation Of all The slaves in
this State. We shall neper haze peace until
his is DONE
This recommendation of emancipation,
from one of the leading pro- slavery
journals of the South, will doubtless as
tonish the Missouri Shareholders, as
much as the result of the late election.
What such newspapers as the Indiana
State Sentinel, Ohio Statesman, and New
York Herald, which are declaring that
that election was fraudulent, and no in
de1 of the sentiment of Missouri will
say TO this statement of the Republican,
we do not know, nor is it matter OF
much Importance. 1t is not likely that
the Stockholders viii follow the advice
of their old organ, aud accept a reason
able compensation for their slaves. They
will resist until it will be impossible for
them to obtain any compensation what
ever; so true is it that whom the gods
wish to destroy they first make mad.

ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS.

After session of something more than
seven months the second session of the
shirty-seventh Congress adjourned on
Thursday the 17th instant. At the sess-
ion Just closed, Congress has done re-
markable amount of work-has perfected
more good measures-has made an ad.
vancement in those subjects pertaining to
the peoples welfare which challenges the
industry and watchfulness of a long line
Of i,s. predecessors. 1t has legislated for
the whole country, the West has received
large share of attention. Surrounded
by questions and duties continually arris.
ing relative to the war, it would be natu-
raj to suppose that its proceedings would
not inso great measure refer to the civil
affairs of the country; hampered by the
traitors, who still remained, the agents of
the accursed rebellion, it would seem that
its action would often be turbulent and un-
dignified; but not so. 1t was not only ex.
empt from those disgraceful scenes which
have so abounded heretofore, but tended
jeaIously and carefully the interests of
civil life and the progressive and impor-
tant questions affecting the whole country.
Among the many beneficial and impor-
tant measures we here mention few:
The Free Homestead Act.
The Pacific Railroad and telegraph line.
The act abolishing slavery in the Dis.
srict of Columbia.
The Prohibition of Slavery in all the
Territories of the Union.
The act confscating and emancipating
the slaves of rebels.
The actto regulate trade and intercourse
with the Indian tribes, and preserve peace
on the Frontiers.
70 establish branch mint at Denver
City, Colorado Territory. The Tax Bill,
Agricultural and Mechanical College Bill.
Che revision of the Supreme Court Judicial
Districts. aa
We hope that it may be succeeded By
many more as efficient ones.

This is the sort of stuff we sec in print

The Monroe Doctrine.

As this famous political doctrine. about
which so much has been said of late years,
may yet have to be applied in the case Of
the French Intervention in Mexico. our
readers will be glad to have their memo.
ries refreshed with its precise statement.
The statement of the so-called doctrine oc-
cnrs in the message of President Monroe
to Congress in December, 1923, and is as
follows:
"The American continents, by the free
and independent condition which they have
assumed and maintain. are henceforth not
to be considered as subjects for future COL
oDization by any European power and,
while existing rights should be respected,
the safety and interest of the United
States require them to announce that no
future colony or dominion, shall, with their
consent, be planted or established on any
part Of the North American continent"
With regard to this doctrine, Mr.. Sew
ard, in speech delivered in The Senate on
January 26, 1853, said explicitly:
I am willing to declare myself oppos.
ed-radically opposed-opposed at all
times, now. henceforth and forever-op-
posed, at the risk of all hazards and con-
sequences, to any design of any State or
States on this continent"
President Lincoln is not on record in
any of his speeches or writings either for
or against the maintenance of this doc
trine.

says of Gen. Sigel:
He is man of mark, and his counte.

ton. When asked if he was family man,
he laughed and said, "Oh, yes, my family
is very large; have thousands of chill
dren.' He said much about the war,
which, perhaps, it is not prudent for me to
transcribe. At any rate, l have not his
authority for SO doing. He made some
sport of our trunks, and said if We ladies
went with him, be should only allow US
three dresses-one black, one niddIing
color, and one white. He talks English
fuen,ly, but has slight German accent,
which only makes it pleasanter to listen
to him. He never carried books with him.
he remarked, as he always found some
new work to read wherever he went
Sometimes it was a production of Theo.
dore Parkers, or on spirituaism, or a new
novel; and added that he wished he could
make books. We thought it was better
for US at present that he could command
armies.
