as a Communication IN the Naw York Euaaiag
Post:
It IS veg annoying So read ihs supelicia.
Arguments against tbs Tsg in the Express and
papers az like character, which talk. for instance,
about taxation 2f 500, 600, 1000 in two yea5z, or
return volunteers with arms in their hands to
Tavsge the North, like the free companies Of
Italy, etc
Many good plans VIII, no doubt, occur 20 our
legislators in Congress, much better than 7 car
suggest, 10 eeec, tae permanent holding of tie
South IL the Ion gTipe Of the Union, and forcing
Gsr to pay the cost Of the war.
The following plan OccUs 20 me for the cotton
States; At convenient points lay cut tracts from
the forfeited lands, Of 10000 acres each Lay
cat these uGcIs III squares, as nc@g az may BE-,

as uszr as might be. On these the soldiers
could work WHOM Of drii, snd raise crops, With
the cid OF freed negroes or otnarHiss-thess
negroes beng IN ia state Of apprenticeship.
Such troops wOnlj need little pay they could
nearly maintain themselves, They could be
made, by the effect Of military discipline, 10 treat
