In looking over the long lists Of killed
and wounded in battles, let no reader forget
THE CAUSE Of these fearful sacrifices. Thou
sands Of the bravest and truest men in ouI
country lay down their lives in defence 0.
tho government Of their choice-the best
on earth against an accursed revolt
prompted by slavery. The father, whose
son, the hope of bis declining years, is reg
istered in the list Of "killedS--ths wife

hold thus robbed of its solace and stay
let all these bear in mind that all this is
from the satanic instigatiOns ofslayery.
This is no declamation---no fauatical 'iabo-
litiOn" invective; but certain, undeniable
fact Every man should ponder it.-St

Abuses Corrected.

The Secretary Of War has ordered that
hereafter paroles shall not be granted to
Fort Donelsou prisoners. This puts a stop
to the swagger of the uniformed snobs at
Columbus, who, through the mistaken len
ity Of Federal officers, have been permitted
to display their side arms ia the streets,
thrust their treason in tho face of citizens,
and register at the hotels as officers in the
&c. S. A."
The President has also put stop to an.
other piece Of official folly. A commission
appointed by Gen. Halleck visited Chicago
and prepared list Of thousand rebels
who were desirous Of subscribing to an oath
Of allegiance and being dismissed. Presi-
dent Lincoln interferd, and ordered that
henceforth, until further instructed, officers
shall not liberate prisoners under any cir
cumstances,

A RUFFIAN OrF1cER-A letter from
Winchester, Va, March 10th, from the
2'f6une's Army correspondent says: One
incident showing the disposition Of the ne
groes and the treatment visited upon them
by some of our officers, is too scaudalous for
belief A free nogro was being questioned
by an officer iu regard to forage; at length
he. told the officer he was for the Union, and
asked "why don't you give us arms; we'd
love to fight for you" The officer seized a
musket from a soldier and knocked the gen.
erous fellow into the gutter with blow
from the butt. I have this from another
officer who was an eye witness and iuterfer-
ed for the negro.

Tho DIvIdinu Line.

Mr.. Arnold, Of Illinois, yesterday intro
duced into the House Of Representatives I
bill whose purpose is clearly announced il
tho preamble, in these words: "To the enc
that Freedom may be and remain forever
the fundamental law of the land, 10 al
places whatever, so far as Il lies within the
powers and depends upon the action Of The
government Of the United States to make
II So" The bill prohibits slavery forever
in the territories, in the forts, nrsenals, dock
yards, in ships on the high seas, in short
I'm all places whatsoever, where the nation.
al government is supreme, or has exclusive
jurisdiction and power" including, of course,
the District Of Columbia.
Mr.. Arnold's bill will, we trust, speedily
be reported by the Committee on Territor-
les, 10 which il was referred, and brought
to vote. 1t is clear assertion of the
principles on which our government was
founded, and it proposes TO carry out those
principles in a manner entirely constitu-
tional and emineDtly wise. 1t has auoth.
er good quality, in that il defines sharply
the position Of this nation towards the reb-
els. The cornerstone Of the "Southern
CoDfederacy," according to Mr.. Stephens, is
slavery--the cornerstone of our national
government is freedom. There slavery is
the rule, here freedom is the rule.
So carefully does the bill guard the
rights and privileges of the states that in
the third paragraph of section first, slavery
is prohibited in all vessels on the high seas
and on the national highways, beyond the
territory and Jurisdiction of the several
states from which or to aohich the said ves-
sells may be going. There is here no un-
due assumption Of power, trcnching on dis.
puted ground. The moro ardent opponents
of emancipation measures are such confess
edly on the ground that slavery is loca
state institution, with which, where it ex
lists in a state, the national government ba.
no right to interfere.
We hope, therefore, to see gathering
of the true men of all parties in favor ol
this bill. All friends of liberty can here
meet on constitutional ground, and place
the government where the founders OF the
Union meant it to stand, and where it
stood while Washington, Jefferson, Madi-
son and other distinguished Virginians were
at the helm. Moreover, it places us squar-
ly opposite to the enemies of The Union
They rebel to make slavery national; we
fight to preserve the Union as it is, with
freedom national. They strive TO over
throw the constitution because it does not
make slavery universal; we fight to main
tain it, and with it the principles of liberty
for which the fathers fought, and which
they made the cornerstone Of their consti-
tution.-N Y. Post, March %.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. skiII.

Correspondents who have travelled from
Williamsport TO Winchester, Virginia
thirty-two miles speak in strong terms o
the withering curse of Secession. A few
months ago it was one of the first sections
of the State-now the mansions and houses
lie smouldering in ruins by the torch Of
Rebel incendiaries. The property of the
Union citizens has been given to tho flames,
and the owners have been compelled to
fee for their lives. AT Martinsburg an inn
mense amount ofrailroad property had been
destroyed, and at Winchester the railroad
cars, DC, had been collected for the flames,
but the panic got the start of the torch
A Winchester letter of the 18th says:
We bad not been in Winchester two
hours before Yankeedom was in its Gle.
ment and glory. Some half dozen of Mas.
sachusetts soldiers DOTTED their knapsacks.
and soon oil cans, files and hammers were
in requisitioD. The old Potomac and Vir-
ginia engines were hauled out and placed
in as good running order as possible under
the circumstances. In less tine shan il
took "stone-walI jackson" to evacuate ff.
teen miles Of the Strasburg pike, whiz /!
went the whistle of the Potomac, and off
she went with company of the Massachu-
sets Thirteenth on an experimental trip to
Harpers Ferry, amid the cheers Of the ioy-
Gus multitude. They reached to within
six miles of the Ferry, where they found
two bridges TO be repaired. This will be
accomplished by Monday, when VIC shall
once more have uninterrupted communica,
tion by rail with Baltimore.
The Union sentiment here among the
residents grows stronger every day. The
more they see of our soldiers and officers,
and learn from them the object of our mis-.
sion here, they become more inclined to
cluster around the old Union which gave
them peace and plenty, instead of clinging
to Confederacy which has brought war
and almost starvation. Ipredict from nv
observation while here, and what learn
from converse with the people, that this
great valley is lost to the Southern Confed-
eTacy forever.

The Norfolk Day Book has the following
paragraph in regard to Confederate navy
preparations:
Congress has appropriated for the use Of
the navy department $4,275,ooo. Thi,
sum does not include 100000 moro o
which have been specially appropriated fol
floating defeuscs in the Mississippi river, and
for the MeTimac. Of the former sum, S2,-
100000 are for the purpose of equipment
and repair of vessels, for ordnance and ord
nance stores, and for. the purchase and
building of steamers and gunboats for coast
defeDses of the Confederate States. For
this latter object 100000 of the $2,eoo,-
900 arc appropriated.

Senator Lane, of Indiana, has Just ro-
ceiyed letters from his brother who is with
the federal forces at Savannah, Tennessee.
He gives very cheering account of the
people in that section Of the country. He
says that there is more decided Union feel
ing in that part Of Tennessee and the north
ern portions of Alabama, than in a large
part of Kentucky. Men enough had come
in from Alabama to our headquarters at
Savannah to form regiment, and an Ala
bama Union regiment had been formed
II will be remembered that throughout the
entire section of country there are very few
shareholders, and the people have no mo-
tive to war against the federal government.
Troops were hocking in from Alabama,
Tennessee, Georgia and Mississippi, with
the prospect that brigade might soon be
formed Of troops from the Gulf and cotton
states to fight against the rebellion. Other
advices Of still later date confirm these
statements. The mountainous regions are
almost invariably loyal, as tho slaveholding
are certainly disloyal.

TO the Editor Of The " \. IrtbHae
SIR Much speculation has been INDUCED as to
what this gentleman will do in his relations with the
Government growing out Of his action as agent for
the purchase of vessels, but | have seen nothing
said as 20 what be might hare DONE
Being distinguished in commercial circles for bis
wealth, and in the church for his piety, he might
have become no less distinguished in bis couttry for
his patriotism. Wher. invited to the service OF his
country, having earned lis wealth under her foster
ing care and protection, he might have offered his
services for nothing. lie might have reasoned that
his wealth and retirement from business aiiorde i
him abundant leisure for the service; that no con-
alteration could ndnce him to accept one penny
therefor. lie might have afforded even to offer ten
thousand dollars for the privilege OF doing 1t Tor
nothing. and then lie might, with 10 diStrust, have
boosted of large savings to his country. In short
lie might have earned title TO the purest of patriot
ism with but little sacrifice OF time or property But
lie did not, and the opportunity is gone.
