TsoUBLE IN ARRKsTINs FusiTIvH sLAvrs-
Quite an excitement wss raised near the cotuer
Of Seventh street and the Avenue about 10 O'Clock

Messrs. Wise and Hugely, backed by the owners
OF the slaves, attempting 20 arrest some fugitive

yesterday the ofdcers went TO the camp Of the re-

outstanding an order bad been given them by
the Provost Marshal for their delivery, they were
refused admission in the camp. There being no

march, but were resisted by some Of the soldiers
who declared that they could not get them under
any writ. large crowd gathered around, and
soon the excitement became intense, and matters
for awhile wore rather serious aspect the ofcers
having taken hold Of two OF the fugitives who
they held with a frm grasp, and some Of the SOL
one or two persons being knocked down. some
OF the orhcers, however, after seeing the wria.
quelled the excitement, and two Of the fugitives
were taken of by Messrs. King and Hugely and
sent TO jail until the matter be Investigated;
the regime again taking up their march for the
steamboat wharf, some seven or eight other fugi-

EFFECTS OF The BOMBARDMENT.
The Navy Department hsve received chart
showing the position and effect Of every Union
shot and shell that fell within the lines Of Fort
Jackson (the main rebel Minisippi-river defense
below New Orleansl, In the course Of Its recen:
bombardment. As q whole, the drawing resem-
bles the face Of fellow convalescing after &C.
we're attack Of the smallpox. Itshows that all the
scows and small boats near the fort were sunk,
except three small ones; the drawbridge was CON-
pletely destroyed the hot-shot furnaces were de-
sroyed; the cisterns were demolished; all the case
mates and passs ges were filled with water, the
levee having been cut all the platforms for tents
were destroyed by FIRE or shell all the classmates
are cracked from end to end In some places the
roof IL completely broken, and frequently masses
Of brick have been dislodged. -Four guns were
dismounted, IL carriages and traverses were In
jured. The outer walls Of the fort are cracked
from top to bottom, In several places, admitting
daylight freely; 800 shells are computed to have
been thrown in the bitches and overlooked parts
OF the fort ESQ shells exploded in the air, over
the fort 1 ,l13 mortar shells were counted on the
solid ground Of the fort and levees, and 81 round
shot. Seventy five thousand shells were fred
altogether.
Thus II will be perceived that the " practice"
Of the feet on this occasion was perhaps the most
accurate known to history since gunnery began 10

What they Fear.

The Vaccinations of the Richmond pa
pers concerning the probable effect of the
Presidents Emancipation Proclamation
are curiOusly Illustrated by the recent adj
dress Of Governor BRowN of Georgia to
the planters of that State. The Governor
says:
If the enemy should take Savannah it would
be made safe place of refuge for all slaves
who may attempt to leave their masters and
90 to the enemy this winter and the planters
OF this State must lose much larger number
of slaves than are now required to complete all
necessary preparations for her defence.
The Governor goes on to show that the
slaves should be at once employed in
strengthening the defences of the city, and
expresses a hope that " five thousand will
be rendered in ten days. There is no
word of direct reference to the Presidents
Proclamation in this address; yet the Gov
ernor evidently fears the approach of the
first Of January with its contingent pro-
liabilities of stampedes of slaves and untold
troubles to slave owners.

THE operator who transmits our dispatches.
seems to take especial delight in giving full
report of all resolutions savoring Of opposition
to the Administration. The telegram relating
to the action of the Senate is mainly occupied
with Powell's resolution relating to alleged un-
constitutional arrests.-Union, yesterday.
This is matter that STANToNs tele-
graphic censor must attend to at once.
Perhaps the best plan would be to prohibit
the introduction of all such resolutions in
Congress. If this should be deemed mex
pedient, the next best thing would be their
suppression in the Congressional Globe.
We are surprised that such loyal paper as
the Onion should print resolutions of that
character, even if they are found in the
regular proceedings of Congress, as trans
mitted by telegraph. We acquit the Onion,
however, of any desire to give laid and
comfort to the enemies of the Onion.

The Truth Acknowledged at Last.
The New York Times, aradical journal,
in speaking of army movements, says


Gen. Mcclellan and his friends are undoubt-
edy right when they contend that if he had
been reinforced at the battle of Hanover Court
House, by 10000 men from Fredericksburg
who were then within day march of him, he
could have gone triumphantly into Richmond,
and here was the fatal mistake in not thus re-
inforcing him, which the President and the Sc
cretary of War made, being doubtless led into
it by the imbecile General Hitchcock, whom
they took as their private military adviser.
All this is undoubtedly true, in regard
to the reinforcement refused and refused,
too, in the very face of the enemy, when
MoDowELLs force of 10000 had been
marched to Fredericksburg, in pursuance
of the plan of the campaign agreed upon
at Washington, before MCCLELLAN left it
for the campaign. This refusal broke up
the plan, lost us Richmond, made the war
far more formidable than it had been be-
fore, has indefinitely protracted it, has cost
MS all which has followed upon that fatal
interference. This is a fact perfectly no.
toriOus to those who have taken pains and
who have had the means to inform them
selves, and cannot be questioned. Had
MCDOWELL been permitted to advance in
the rear of the confederate troops at York
town, while MCCLELLAN attacked them in
front, they must have capitulated, and
Richmond could have made no defence.
This would have been substantially the
end of the war.

A Naval Curiosity.

Some time since the English papers an
nounced that 81 dashing steam yacht
was preparing for sea at a British port, and
insinuated that she "would soon be heard
from in America" She was described as
"a splendid little craft, swift as deer and
trim as hunter There is now at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard a vessel which is sup
posed to be the one alluded to. She is
called the Ouchita, and was captured in
trying to run the blockade. She is beau
tiful model of naval architecture, and will
make a serviceable companion for the d.
minutive man-of-war America, another
swift little craft, which has been seen in
England-at Cowes.

The Governors Proclamation.

The proclamation of the Governor was
based on information received from Col.
MILLER that citizens Of Mankato and it's
vicinity, numbering about two hundred
and fifty, had made an attempt, on Thurs
day, to break through his lines, for the
purpose, as he had reason to belve, of
killing the Indians, who were condemned
by the Military Commission The party
was repulsed by the guard, and no one was
injured. $50 citizens were arrested and
subsequently discharged, under a pa
role of honor not to renew the attempted
procedure which was 50 summarily frus-
trated. Colonel MILLER feared that larger
parties, from St. Peter and other places in
the neighborhood, would oyerpower the
small force under his command, and asked
for reinfOrcements, which, we understand,
have been placed at his disposal. If, as
the Governor alleges, the murderers are
still amenable to our State tribunals, not
withstanding the action OF the General
Government, the people of the State will
cheerfully wait while longer for substan-
tial Justice to be done by its appointed
ministers. Duily Pioneer, Ill.,

The N1inncsOtiansE erOciOuS.

The act of the President. revoking the SEN
tence of death against three hundred Indians in
Minnesota for completely in the recent murders
in that State, has aroused the indignation OF the
Minnesotians, and the newspapers generally
urge upon the people to take the matter in their
own hands, and deal out vengeance upon all
Indians in the State. The language OF the
newspapers is Incorporate and defiant; it could
not be more so if they were published in South
Carolina. Is indiscriminate slaughter OF In
dams one OF the reserved State rights OF loyal
Minnesota ?-Jour1sal Of Commerce..
We diligently peruse our State exchanges
and know that no call has been made for
vengeance upon 0N Indians in the State. :"
The people simply demand the execution
Of the sentence pronounced on those who
were actual participants in murders and
outrages too horrible for description, and
that measures shall be inaugurated as soon
as practicable for the removal of the ba-
lance of the Sioux, and the WinnebagOes
and Ohippewas, beyond the boundaries of
the State. No State is more loyal to law
than Minnesota. We have now about two
thousand Sioux in confinement. The hus-
bands and brothers Of wives and sisters
outraged by score of red devils, and then
murdered and dreadfully mutilated, have
had opportunities of wreaking private VEN
geance upon them for months, and yet
we have not heard of a single instance
where this has been done. The idea of
"taking the matter into their own hands, :"
never was suggested until the mawkish
Indian sympathisers ofthe East, attempted
to shield the condemned murderers from
punishment. If they succeed in their en-
deavors, they must be responsible for the
consequences. Self preservation is ''the
first law of nature" and therefore one of
our reserved rights" which will be exer-
cised, in case the Government is dereict
of duty

West Virginia.

The People Of West Virginia, composed
OF the forty-eight northwestern counties
Of old Virginia, are memoralizing Congress
for promt admission into the Union as
State. They have indicated their intention
to change that section oftheir Constitution
which relates to Slavery 50 that it shall
read as folaws:
The children of slaves born within the limits
of this State after the 4th day of March, 1868,
shall be free, and all the slaves within the said
State who shall, at the time aforesaid, be under
the age of ten years, shall be free when they ar
rive at the age Of twenty-one years, and all
slaves over ten and under twenty-one years
shall be free when they arrive at the age oftwen-
ty-five years, and no slave shall be permitted to
come into the state for permanent residence
therein

What Shall be Done with the In
dams.

People of an organized community can
not overlook any neglect of their vital in
terests. Notwithstanding the tremendous
responsibility which is resting upon the
Administration in the conduct of the great
war now raging between the North and
the South, there are matters of pressing
importance here in Minnesota, the neglect
Of (which will not be excused by those
whose entire interests are involved. The
whole future destiny of our State depends
upon the question "what shall be done
with the Indians" That all emigration
will be stopped unless the policy ofremov-
ing them from our borders is avOwed, is q
fact to clear to need argument. Will the
Administration inaugurate such a policy at
once, or leave it and its execution to those
who have the time and are capable of
graphing with it? The interests of the
State are already suffering beyond ex-
preston because of the inaction of the au-
thorities at Washington. We understand
that Gen. SIB1EY within the last few days
has represented the true state of affairs to
the Government and urged the necessi-
ty of immediate subjecting the condemned
Indians to the penalty of the law, and that
a course be adopted in regard to the 9TH
ers satisfactory to the people Of the State.
Will the Administration act upon the adj
vice Of those who are in positions to give
Judgment on the best solution of our trou-
bles, or adopt the gratuitous suggestions Of
those who know nothing of the condition
of the State, and whose interests lie in an
other direction.
