The Black Brigade of Cincinnati.

Our readers are aware that when the
rebels we're threatening Cincinnati the
negroes Of the city were organized into the
Black Brigade Of Cincinnati" under
command of Judge Dickson. They labOred
faithfully in the trenches and fortifca-
tiOns, and on being dismissed from SER
vice presented their commander with a
handsome sword. In his acknowledge
ments Judge Dickson paid the despised
and prosecuted colored men the following
tribute Of honest and honorable praise:
"SoLDIERs OF THE BLACK BRIGADE: You
have finished the work assigned to yon
upon the fortifcations for the defense Of
the city. You are now to be discharged
You have lsbored faithfully. You have
made miles of military roads, miles Of
rife pits, felled hundreds of acres of the
largest and loftiest forest trees, built mag
azines and forts. The hills across yonder
river viii be perpetual monuments Of your
lPbors. You have in no spirit Of bravado,
IN no defiance to established prejudices,
but in submission to it, intimated to me
your willingness to defend with your lives
the fortifcations your hands have built.
Organized companies of men Of your race,
armed and equipped at their own expense,
have rendered their services to act in the
defense Of our city. In obedience to tho
policy of the Government the authorities
have denied you this privilege. In the
department of labor permitted, you have,
however, rendered a willing and cheerful
service. Nor has your zeal been dsmpen-
ed by the cruel treatment you have re-
ceived. The citizens of both sexes have
encouraged you with their smiles and
words of appreciation; the soldiers have
welcomed you as co-laborers in the same
great cause. But portion Of the police,
rufhans in character, early learning that
your offered services were accepted, and
seeking 10 deprive you of the honor Of
voluntary labor, before opportunity was
given you to proceed to the field, rudely
seized you in the streets, in your places Of
business, in your homes, everywhere, hur-
ried you into pens and thence across the
river TO the Notifications, not permitting
you TO make any preparations for camp
life. You have borne this with the accus-
toned patience of your race, and when,
under more favorable auspices, you have
received only the protection due to a COM
mon humanity, you have labored cheer
fully and effectively. Go to your homes
with the consciousness of having performed
your duty, Of deserving, if you do not re-
ceive, the protection of the law, and bear
ing with you the gratitude and respect Of
all honorable men. You have learned TO
suffer and to wait but in your hours of ad-
versity, remember that the same God who
has numbered the hairs of our heads, and
who watches over even the fate Of spar
row, is the God Of your race as well as
mine. The sweat blood which this nation
is now shedding at every pore, is an awful
warning of how fearful thing it is to op-
press the humblest being. Until our cOun-
try shall again need your services, I bid
you farewell"

Negro Colonization.

A Washington dispatch to the Times,
says:
A circular, bearing date October 2, 1862,
has been sent from the State Department
to the Diplomatic Representatives of the
different Governments, on the subject Of
negro colonization. This is done because
many persons Of that race express a de-
sire TO emigrate, and many governments
have manifested a disposition to avail
themselves of the benefits of such emigra-
ton. The circular is intended as a pro-
ject for q convention, and stipulates-hrst,
that the emigrants must be allowed to go
from free choice, if at all, and that agents
must be appointed by the Governments in
viting emigration, to superintend all de-
tails. Among those specified, are a record
of age, sex and condition, and place Of en-
barkation and destination. Good vessels
must be provided with such accommoda-
tions that families need not be separated
on the voyage, and such party of emigrants
shall be allowed a special agent of their
own choice, or that of the United States if
desired. On arriving at the destination,
they shall be provided with comfortable
dwellings and lands, and be owners, and
occupied by them, or furnished sufficient
employment or hire. They shall be pro-
vided with clothing and medicines, and
their children educated in elementary
knowledge-these provisions to continue
for five years. 1t is generally provided
that the children shall not be separated
from parents; that the emigrants and
their posterity shall forever be free; thai
liberty of conscience and right Of property
shall be guaranteed, and all privileges
granted which shall be enjoyed by citizens
Of the country to which they 60. Provi
sion is also made against neglect and suf
fering by reason Of poverty or sickness
No monopoly is intended to be given to an!
country in the matter, but Convention
will be made with whatever nation possess
ing q constitutional Government shal
choose to treat-the proposed limitation Q
such treaty being ten years"

Sketch of Chambersburg.

Chambersburg is a fourishing borough
Of Franklin county, Pennsylvania, of
which county it is also the capital. 1t is
pleasantly situated on the ConecOcheguie
creek, at the junction Of the Cumberland
Valley Railroad with the Franklin rail-
road. It is forty-five miles, in an air line,
southwest of Harrisburg, and one hum
dred and fifty miles west of Philadelphia.
It is connected by good turnpike roads
with Baltimore, pittsburg and Philadel-
phia, and by railroad with Harrisburg,
Philadelphia sc. It is twenty-five miles
from Hagerstown, eleven miles from Green
castle (where there is a military camp)
thirty-four miles from Carlisle, also mill
tary station, and ffty-twO miles from Har-
risburg, all by railroad. 1t is also about
forty miles or less from Hancock by the
turnpike road The dwellings in this
place are mostly built of brick or stone, and
the town exhibits a general appearance Of
neatness, comfort and prosperity 1t
has a fine court house, a bank, a
large academy, a female seminary,
eight churches and five newspaper
offices. Il is surrounded by a highly
cultivated and pOpulOus country, forming
part of the great limestone valley which
extends along the southeast base of the
Blue Mountains. The higher points of the
ridge in Franklin county are estimated at
about fifteen hundred feet above the valley.
It has manufactures of cotton, wool, -four,

General HnIIeck and the Presidents Pro-
clamariOn.


Correspondence Of the New York Tribune.l
We are permitted to state, upon the au-
thority Of gentlemen holding intimate per-
sonal relations with General Halleck, pre-
cisely what position he takes in cOnversa-
tion, with respect to the principles of the
Presidents Proclamation. General Hal
leck holds that the controlling military ne
cessity that we should deprive the enemy
of the labor by which his armies are sub
sisted, is clear and unqualified; that in
deed it is wholly impossible to subdue the
rebellion while such an army Of labOrers
as the slaves of the South continue to pro-
duce supplies for the fighting army in the
field. OF the three millions and half of
slaves, General Halleck computes that at
least two millions are to-day practically
employed in the work of rebellion, whose
effective strength is greatly increased by
the superior productiveness of the South
ern soil and climate, so greatly that, as is
proved by statistics, the labor Of girl not
more than sixteen years of age in the
South, produces thirty per cent. more than
that of a thorough field hand in the North.
Taking these facts into consideration, Gen
eral Halleck says that, in a military aspect,
he has had no doubt on the question since
the rebellion assumed its present formida-
Bile proportions, and has never wavered
from the belief that if we would conquer
the South, its black labor must be taken
from it. With the question what to do
with the negroes whom the war will leave
upon our hands, General Halleck conceives
that, as General-in- Chief, he has no right
to an opinion, it being a matter for the
consideration of the civil authorities; but
he regards it as problem which deserves
the most serious study of the best minds in
the country. While discussing this branch
of the subject, General Halleck is accus-
toned to advert to the fact that General
Butler is now issuing three rations, and
will, probably, soon be called upon, if ar
rangements now contemplated are carried
into effect, to issue ten rations 10 the ne
groes for every one of his soldiers. Is the
North, asks the General, to feed forever,
the whole negro population, or is the thing
sometime to end, and if so, when and how
In speaking of General MeClellan's Order
No. 169, General Halleck observed that it
is Of course the duty of soldier to obey
his superiors in all things not physically
impossible for him to do.

THE CORINTH BATTLE.

CAIRO, oct. IL.
The Grenada Appeal, of the 8th, makes
the result of the Corinth battle even more
disastrous to the rebels than is stated by
our own papers. 1t is stated that the at
tack was opposed by all but one General,
meaning probably Van Dorm, against
whom there is great indignation mani
tested.
Hon. T. A. Nelson, of Tennessee, who
has hitherto remained neutral, has publish
ed an address cOndemning Lincoln's Eman-
cipation Proclamation.
The expedition sent from Memphis on
Sunday last TO Wolf River, q few miles
beyond Germantown, returned on Tuesday,
having surprised rebel camp, killed four,
including the Captain, wounded fourteen,
and captured fifty, with a number Of horses
and arms.

The New Tax Law.

The following are among the latest de-
cisions of the tax law Each particular
article Of manufacture is taxed for its
value, though materials in its production
have already been taxed in another form.
Telegrams.-Messages transmitted by
telegraph and railroad companies over
their own wires, on their own business,
for which they receive no pay, are not tax
able.
Legal Documents-Every paper is equal
ly valid issued before January 1st, 1868,
without stamp as with it. If the unstsmped
instrument should be needed as evidence
in court, the party using would be sub
jected to an expense Of $500.
Congress viii probably give relief to
this particular.
The decision refers TO the 95th section
of the revenue law. Penalties will not be
enforced under this law until the stamps
are issued.

- We have from Washington rumors Of
important changes in the Cabinet and Ar
my. Il is said that the rebel raid to Cham
bersburg has excited the authorities at
Washington, and that it may be the i'm
mediate cause Of the changes referred to.
It is said that General Banks may succeed
Secretary Stanton, that General Mcclellan
will come to the West and that Fighting
Joe Hooker" will succeed him. No officer
of the army has better reputation for
bravery and ability, as we'll as for an ac-
tive, restless energy, than Hooker, and we
doubt if an officer could be found who has
more the confidence Of the army.

GREAT INCREASE OF THE ARMY.-0ur
army during the last two or three months
has grown enormously in numbers. Pro-
baby more than three-foHrths Of the troops
ordered under the last two calls Of the
President arc now ready for the field.
There is nearly quarter of million SOL
diers on the Potomac. General Mcclellan
has attested that the new troops fight like
veterans. They are full of enthusiasm,
health and pluck. We are now in a far
stronger condition for attack than wehave
ever been before We are stronger than
we will be in the ensuing spring-eEen if
the conscription is enforced-should our
army winter in activity; for the wastage
of an inactive winter is appalling.-Nsu
