The Question of Emancipation

While politicians wrangle and statesmen
dispute the common sense policy of our
common sense President, says Occasion
al in the Press, gradual emancipation,
with compensation to loyal Shareholders, is
steadily winning its way. Wallach's Ev-
ening Star has commenced the discussion
In support of the Presidents proposition
IN arguments of exhaustive ability; and
the National Intelligepcer takes up the
subject with characteristic dignity and can
dor The point of the Stars argument is
the removal of slavery from the Border to
'She cotton States, and the occupation OF all
the domain thus purified by the brawry
slnews, energy, and capital, of the Anglo
American, or white race The Intelligen.
Ger adopts the same theory, and clinches
ITS opinions by quoting from the oldest and
best leaders of the Virginia school. 1t is
2 fact that cannot be successfully contested,
that opposition to slavery originated in
Virginia. Mr.. Jefferson always regarded
1t with dislike and apprehension, and his
contemporaries were deeply imbuedwith his
own sincere philosophy. The great mind
of Mr. Madison, the tranquil and lucid
Judgment of Mr.. Monroe, inclined them
strongly to the Jeffersonian theory, and in
.the convention which assembled at Rich
mond, In October in 1929, for the purpose
OF remodelliag the Constitution of the
State, both these venerable men. Monroe
and Madison, together with Chief Justice
Marshall, took part in the discussions, and
advocated nearly the same remedy now rec
commended by President Lincoln to the
people of the south The Intelligencer
quotes from the remarks of James Monroe
In that convention, some most significant
opinions. He speaks of slavery as a great
evil; and one Of his arguments is to show
that the legislation of Virginia had been
consistently directed against the spread of
the institution.

Swarms of Contrabands."

The Chambersburg Times says: During
the last few days the roads leading from the
Virginia line to this place have been black
! with " coatrabands," /" making their way North.
Numbers of them, too have passed through
on the railroad They are of all ages. coors
and sizes-from the gray-haired slave, who
has passed bis days of usefulness to his mas
ter, to the infant In arms-from the ebcny
hued to the light olive brown-and are of
various degrees of intelligence, mary tf them
quick and knowing, others dull, lazy and
stupid. Some of them have passed through
but many are still quartered among the ne
groes of the town-some of the houses being
crowded almost to sutfocatlon."
There is something strange in these
hegiras, SO strange as to have led many per-
sons to believe that an overruling Provi-
dence has set his seal of condemnation on
the stakeholder and the barbarous code of
laws to which the system had given rise.
Whether this is SO, Time alone can deter
mine yet ever since the commencement of
this infamous rebellion, it is fact that
whether our army advance or retreat, the
chains fall from the bondsman by thou
sands As an instance of this, it may be
noted that what was called a disaster to our
arms-namely the mastery retreat Of Gen.
Banks, alike creditable to him and his
ommand-resulted in the stampede of not
less than 4 or 5000 slaves! Again, when all
other means of Interrogation failed respect
ing the movements and designs Of the en-
emy, this despised aud down trodden race,
risking life and all they held dear, suffered
hardships of every description in making
their way into our lines, and though in
many cases received and treated like dogs
by some brutal officers, gave information
which in many instances led to important
results. Has the time indeed come when
the memorable words of Ihomas Jefferson,
that she trembled for his country when he
remembered that God was just, and that his
justice will not sleep forever" will be as
self evident as his declaration that {" all
men are created equal? Z"

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.

The Homestead Bill, which has received
the signature of the President, provides
that,
All the lands owned by the Government
are open to settlement under it in quanti-
ties not exceeding 160 acres to each person.
Any person who is citizen of the United
States, or has declared intention to become
such, who is q years old, or tie head of
family, or has served in the military or ma
val service of the country during this re-
belllon, can make the entry on payment of
ten dollars, and the fees of the Register
and Receiver of the Land Office. That is
all the settler has to pay at any time The
act takes effect the LIST of January next,
and requires residence and cultivation of
five years to perfect the title ANY person
can enter, under this act, land on which
he has presumption clain.
In the United States Senate, on Friday
the tax bill was taken up, and debate en-
sued on motion to reconsider the vote, by
which a tax of 50 was laid upon persons
claimed as slaves. The vote was finally
reconsidered, and the tax rejected. The
vote was then taken on the tax bill entire,
and passed-yeas thirty seven, nays one
Mr.. Powell, of Kentucky, being the only
dissentient. The bill goes back to the
House with numerous amendments.

There is no longer any doubt but that

LATEST NEWS.

Dispatches from Gen. Halleck's head
quarters, thirty miles south of Corinth and
near Grapd Junction, report Beauregard's s
army to be only one day ahead, and still
retreating by forced marches southwardly
He has lost twenty thousand men by de-
sertion since leaving Corinth, and it is be-
lieved, that by the time he reaches Coum-

to make stand, he will have lost one half
Of his army. The whole country was full
of armed soldiers returning toward Ten

ken by Gen. Pope who first asked to be
exchanged now desire to take the oath of
allegiance. As the rebels retreat they de.
