EmnncIpa,ion br Holland.

The Dutch government have recently taken
decisive action in relation to the slaves in its
West India colonies. This action has been
very deliberate, as becomes the character of that
government and the people it represents. It has
been also consderate. These marks of deiber-
alton and cOnsideTsteness characterize the course
hitherto Of all European nations, whose people
are mainly of the old Germanic stock, in respect
to negro slavery within their limits. The plan
finally agreed upon by the Dutch legislative
assembly is based on four fundamental princi-
ples l. Immediate liberation 3 Superintend-
ence limited to ten years 3 Naturalization of
300 forms for every slave; 4. immigration of
free lsbOrers at the expense of the State.
The liberation is fixed for July Isl, 1868.
After that date, the slaves will be held to labor
but they will be free to choose their masters, and
in no case, will days work last longer than
eight hours.
Such an arrangement shows forethought and
wisdom, such as, we are sorry to say, the Con-
gress of the United States cannot be credited
with. The eonfscation act, to the extent of its
authority, is a decree of almost universal eman-
cipation, not only without compensation, which
should have been expressly guaranteed by the
act to loyal masters, bat "a matter Of more i'm
pOrtance,) without any provisions regulating
the status of the negro, when freed from his
present condition of domestic slavery. They
manage these things differently and better among
the most Of the European nations. The Ameri-
can government ought to show itself at least
equal to the European in the wisdom of its poll
cy Domestic slavery is not worse than univer-
sal and uneon ditional emancipation Missouri

For the past two weeks an epidemic has bro
ken out among the horses and is carrying them
oil at a fearful rate, cavalry companies losing
sometimes as many as ten day. In most OF
the cases the illness is Of but short duration.
One hour they appear sound and hearty as ever
and the next houI be dead or dying.
The disease is pronounced, BY those who are
"posted" in matters Of this character appertain-
ing to the horse as lung fever, aud thus far has
baflled the most slilful farmers among us in
their endeavOrs TO arrest It's progress,
There are those ameng US, professed Union
men, and who have always resided here, who
tel us that it has heretofore been the habit Of
Nirginians, who when buying and bringing here
Northern horses, to use them but little daring
the FIRST summer, letting them remain as quiet
as possible until acclima.icn. Another source
Of annoyance to these same animals, is the great
number of flies, their immense size and capacity
to stiag.
During the night as well as day arc these use
iul animals literally covered with them. So
wild and crazy do they become from this an
noyance, and their inability to rid themselves Of
them, that they break the strongest halter that
may be put on them. Then away they 90, first
for the river and then for the woods which is
generally the last that is seen of them. We at
present arc one Of the victims, our Bucephaus
having skedaddled in accordance with the above
fact, while careful search has failed to discover
Lis whereabouts.
Fly nets are useless, as no attention is paid to
them by these pests, while, in their endeavors to
rid themselves Of the same, blanket will be
shook off es fast as put on no matter how sight
it may be fastened. This moment numbers Of
! horses and mules are running about perfectly
wild from this very cause, an attempt to catch
! them being both futile and dangerous. irgiaia

THE PEACH CHOP--DRIED FRUIT
FOR THE ARlEK.

| TIE PEACH CHOP---DRIED FRUIT
FOR THE ARMK.
EDITORS APPEAL: An abundant peach crop
is loading down our orchards, vastly more than
we can consume, or, with the comparative scar
city of labor at the present time, can hope to
| preserve N the ordinary laborious manner. With
another winters campaign before US, it is of the
utmost importance that we should save al that
can contribute not only to the sustenance, but
to the comfort Of the soldier. And who that has
ever experienced the grateful relief afforded to
/ the tired and woTn-out wsyfarer, or those Ian
| gushing in the hospitals, by the cooling Juice
even of dried fruit, can fail 10 apprehend the
duty incumbent upon those remaining at home
20 preserve, if possible for the soldiers use, the
sUperGbundsnce Of their peach crop
But to peel and store all this fruit IS out of the
question. Few seem to know that peaches
dried 1rhOie, Just as they come from tie tree,
are sweeter and more grateful to the taste than
when previously peeled and sliced 1t is OBJ
jected that the obnoxious furz is thus left on
them; but the very brief and simple process Of
thorough washing before cooking, almost com
| pleiely Obviates that inconvenience at the
writer's old home, after few comparative tri-
ais, the policy of drying peaches whole has been
exclusively adopted for fifteen years, by the
unanimous consent Of large family, not one OF
whom would touch peaches dried in slices, so
long as they could obtain the Other kind.
Naturally, the fruit with akin on requires more
time for drying than the sliced would but not
more so than The delicious prunes, raisins and
2pricots, which we import and pay SO high for
It Is essential for rood success, that the first
two or three days should be Of warm sunshine
but that in this climate, is a condition generally
very easily fulfilled. The fruit should be spread
on surface gently sloping southward not on
boards, but rather solid plank, which becomes
much hotter. But simple and most eiicacioUs
arrangement, which is adopted altogether where
raisins are made on the Mediterranean coast, Is
bed Of gravel or pebbles, about six inches
thick, which themselves rest on a bed of dry
sand. From these beds, without any further
manipulation, the rsisns are transferred to the
packing boxes in which we receive them.
With arrangements as simple as these, we can
save an abundance Of a most important article
of diet for ourselves and our army.
I 1t is well to finish of the drying in a bake
oven, with the waste heat after baking. But
| this is not at all necessary. Is the fruit pro-
crosses in drying, it is showed closer together,
room being thus made for fresh addition, SO
that dry peaches come of one end Of the drying
slope every two or three days, while fresh ones
ere being put on at the other. Should a rain
come up, the 1rh0ie peaches are easily raked to-
gether and put unGer shelter. At night it is
well to do the same, but covering them over
with sheets or blankets also answer. a week OF
ten days will, IN good weather, finish the pro-
cess H.

THE FIGHT AT MALVERN HILL.
Additional particulars have reached us from
the scene Of the spirited contest at Malvern Hill,
on Monday evening, which inform US Of the loss
OF that position, after a gallant resistance
against superior force of the enemy. The
hill was defended by portions Of several regi-
ments, infantry, cavalry and artillery, and was
| assaulted in the forenoon by = heavy force from
the enemy, resulting in disastrous repuse.
lu the afternoon three complete divisions of the
enemy moved against the hill it was defended
until many Of the men had become exhausted
and much Of the ammunition expended, and
then our gallant troops slowly retired to Say
ages station. The enemy captured few of our
men and one empty csisscn. OF the Caskie
Rangers, two were killed and thirteen missing.
We have heard of 10 other casualties.
The two killed alluded to were Privates Jacob
Kali and VIM. K. Blunt, who were surprised
when on picket after the retreat, and while sta
toned on Tuesday morning in White 0Jk
Swamp.
A BRILLIANT CAVALRY DASH IN CAROLINA.
On yesterday, one hundred of Stuart's cav

Caroline county, and drove them back upon

/ taking some fifteen or twenty prisoners, pOr-
ton OF whom arrived in the city last evening.

JAPANESE PAPER.-In paper the manufactu-
rers Of Japan have undoubtedly attained an ex-
cellence and skill of which we in Europe know
nothing. Here are paper waterproof coats,
paper feathers, paper psrasols, and paper pocket
handkerchiefs Some of the paper feathers are
as strong apparently as any hi los that ever left
tan yard. There is a large collection Of the
different kinds of paper used for paper hangings,
for writing, printing and for wrapping up par
GELS, and, in fact, the different qualities and
kinds of paper seem infinitely more numerous
than in our own and in their combinations are
efficiently applied 10 such purposes as are not
thought of here-LOndOH Times.

The MOVEMENTS Of THE EEEMY. From
all we could learn yesterday, our opinion is;
that the enemy have not advanced in force from
the south bank Of James river The cavalry
which pushed out few miles from the protec-
ton of the gunbOats Sunday, retired the same
afternoon, and were not seen at all Yesterday.
We think it very probable that the landing on
the south bank at least for the present, is only
TO prevent a recurrence Of such hot fire in the
rear, as greeted McClellsn's fleet and camp Oh
Friday morning last. He will doubtless fortify
himself on the south bank, occasionally sally
out and steal prOyender and provisions, and SO
continue TO conduct himself until the movement
of grand forward march on both sides begins,
with PorteTs mortar feet and all the gunboats Of
the Yankee navy, moving up the stream at the
same time. At present this seems TO be the
programme. The recent "cOnfab" in Washing
ton, between some ten or fifteen msjoT-genersls
among whom was Burnside and also COmmo-
dore Porter, would seem to indicate some such
movement as tic one here indicated.
1t will be seen by an extract from the New
York World that Porter mortar feet has arrived
at Fortress Monroe.-P PeiersJsrg ETpress.
