4 CASE FOR BROWNING,


III. Browning voted against the confsca-
ticn hill. He has legal and as he thinks con-
stituti0na1 sc1uplcs against ell such bills.
Now the common law is older than the
constitution, and no principle is better
settled either by statute or common Law.
tEan that stream, whether naEigable or
not, shall not be turned out Of the course
which nature has formed for 1t, to the in
Jury OF those who reside on its banks or
own lands by or through which it runs.
In view Of this well established
principle Of law, we commend to the ear
nest attention Of Mr.. Browning the conduct
Of Gen. Butler in the matter Of cutting of
Eicksburg from the navigable waters of
tbs Mississippi True the people Of that
city are pestilent set Of traitors; true
that they have erected batteries in or near
their town that hitherto have defed our
gunboats and armies. But they have rights
upder the common law older than the
constitution itself Under it Butler
has no right to dig "cut Off
and make an inland town Of Vicks5urg.
Poor traitors! Browning ought to protect
them And besides, Butler has confscated
5000 contrabands who are digging this
canal, thus depriving their masters Of their
valuable services in raising cotton and corn
for the rebels. Such use of the inevitable
Niger is an outrage, well worthy the cmi-
nent constitutional abilities Of 11r. Brown
ire To turn the venerable "Father o1
Waters " out Of his course by the niggers
Of rebels is too horrible violation oI
common and constitutional 1aw to go nnrc
bukcd and uDpunished.

MORE ENERGY. MORE WORK.


The growing determination Of the peo-
pie of the North to put down this rebellion
AID unite under one government the dis
severed portions OF this country, at any
cost OF life and money, is hint to the
Administration to put more energy, zeal
ard activity into its policy, and to SO con-
duct tile war that its loyal friends Of the
North may hereafter have no doubt about
its Intentions If the rebels will not sub
nit upon entreaty, they must be suajuga-
ted. II, when conquered, they will not
remain at peace and return to their allie
glance. tl".y must be exterminated.
Tic policy Of cancellation has been tried,
ond, to use familiar phrase, has been
e'Played out." Now let us do the next thing
strike to kill Wherever our armies 20,
let them carry tho disagrcca5le chances of
war along with them. Let them live of
The enemy by forced contributions. Let
them accept the services OF all men
who will do augllt for the Cnion cause !;
and If, when they advance, they leave nei-
1her slave nor rebel behind, the work
will be soon done. The beginning cannot
be delayed. The aspect Of the foreign
powers is threatening. The financial con.
dition Of the Republic is not the soundest.
The want of men is pressing. The attitude
Of the enemies Of the government right
hc1l in the streets is not only trcasonable
but defiant, and the new policy
must be inaugurated at once or all is lost,
The "remorselcss revolutionary struggle ''
unauguratcd by the South, is upon us, aud
either the loyalists or the rebels must be
driven to the wall The question now is
Ole IF existence, and it must be decided
fer or against US. There is no coupro
mise. There can be no peace until the
battle is fought out The administration
is TO decide who shall conquer.

@ The trainers Of the Federal consi-
tuition firmly believed that slavery would
cease to exist within an ordinary lifetime,
Unless VIC keep this fact in view, certain
portions Of that instrument seem inexp1i-
cable. Seven Of the original States hon
est]y carried ont the intention Of the
trainers" one did SO partially; one hest
tated, faltered, and blackslid four shame
fully persisted in their sinfnlness. The past
record Of the seven righteous States is hon
orable-their position to-day is glorious
The State partially redeemed is atoning
for the past by good works. The back
slider is on the stool Of repentance. But
the four reprobates are stepped in iniquity,
stained with innocent blood, covered with
infamy, and must be wholly regenerated
before they can be saved God has set the
seal Of his eternal condemnation on
sla7ery; and every people guilty Of the
sin will be scourged

BLACK SOLDIERS.


Col Arthur Kinzic, Of Gen. Hunters
staff, has lately been III this city, on o fur
Tough, for the benefit Of his health, impaired
by arduous service in South Carolina. In
q conversation with him few days ago,
he stated to d gentleman connected with
Ills paper, that the black regiment organ
lied By the General, in all that relates to
tie preparatory duties Of tho soldier, has
already made more progress than could be
expected from an equal number Of white
volunteers. The initiative qualities Of the
negro are Of essential service to him in
tie rudiments Of warljke education, and,
Col Kinzie thinks, that in q battle the long
habit Of obedience to his superior will
compensate in the slave for any lack Of na-
tive courage with which he may be
charged. Oh. Kinzie has had large
share in tie organization Of the regi-
ment, and is well acquainted with
its component parts, and though
lie will not say that it bids tsir to rival a
regiment Of whites, his experience has al,
ready taught him that for many kinds Of
service 1t will be unsurpassed. For scouts
for pickets, for guides, or for skirmishers
sambo and Quashee are the equals Of any
body; and though they might recoil FROM
bayonct charge, they are tar too valuable
to be handed over to the enemy. This tcs
timony on q point now much debated i:
the more conclusive, inasmucK as the Col
onel, when he left here, was strongly ad
verse 10 the employment Of blacks for an5
purpose whatever il affairs which pertain
to The war. The change which he ha
met We have clrouiclcd in his opinions

This traitor has again run his head out. he
has written letter to his co-laborer in ini-

in which he claims to bea Union man. OF cor5e
everybody knows he lies. He tries to excuse
his previous trai,orous letter to "his noble
and beloved friend JEFF Davis, president" &c,
by saying that it was letter Of friendship
simply. He thinks it adds to his importance,

Of Jtf's., and he spreads himself on that fact.

Il has been the confident belief Of all
tllc people Of the North that slavery, as an
institution, dcn1oralized and weakened any
nation. This belief las also become
political axiom, or fundamental princi-
pie, not to be disputed, in all the modern
philosophy Of the growth and economy Of
States, as taught by the most learned and
profound of European writer's or thinkers.
On the other side, the statesmen and
authors, who have sprung up in our slave
Statcs, have boldly asserted and stoutly
ni;intained that no form Of social organl-
za1ion secured such progress, power and
stability 70 nation as that in which the
corner stone Of the political edifce Was
slavery. The Southern leaders have
always contcnded that their peculiar insti-
tu,ion made ulcm the most powerful peo-
pie, considering numbers, on the face
Of the globe; and that slavery, in
SO arranging the condition Of labor that
the free male population we're ever ready
and able to lake up arms, and ut the same
time inspire each other with lofdness of
bearing aud a dauntless bravery never
known to the menial and under1ing hordes,
the mud-sills and white slaves Of free
State, rendered them irresistible in war.
This notion has been secuted by the North
rs the offspring Of the grosscst ignorance
and prejudice; and the men who held it
have been either pitied for their want oi
Judgment and for deplorable stupidity, or de.
uounced for the utter selfshness and in.
pious cruelty Of their reasonings. The pro
e1css Of events is bringing the question te
the only decision which can be thorough
and fnal-that Of war; and in this con
flict, as it has hitherto been carried Oh
looking with clear sight and fair judgmen
at the present position Of the two contend
ing hosts, must it not be said that thE
power which relies upon slavery is not 81
essentially weak and mean as some hav,
hitherto supposed. Must We not admit
also, that the army which is sent BY freedom
to the field and which takes whatever it ha
Of strength or courage from free insdtu
tions, is not 50 Instantly triumphant an
a1ways 30 irresas'ihly overwhelming whel
natched against the power Of slavery, a

The man in the city Of Chicago who
is most blatant and abusive in his talk of
