The Emancipation Proclamation Fail
ure.

The Emancipation policy If the FEEDER
al Executive has now had trial of eighty
ty out Of ninety Gays which were held
sufficient to make it effectnal. Its results
have been precisely nothing towards the
suppression of the rebellion; it has not
freed single negro who was free before,
Or who could not have achieved liberty
without it by escaping into free territory;
the universal instruction which was pre-
dicted in the rebellious States compelling
the Confederate armies to retire before
the Federal troops, and protect their own
homes has not taken place, nor is there
evidence of single rising, or any extern
sive desertinn Of slaves accustomed by it.
No doubt it is this utter failure which has
compelled the abolition organs to moder-
ate their tone, and TO declare that 'lhe
great act of freedom on which the Presi-
dent invoked 'rhe considerate judgment
of mankind, and the favour of Almighty
God,' was only practical joke, not inten-
ded to put, an end to slavery, or t., change
the condition OF any bondman who renal
ned within the jurisdiction of slave State.
Mankind with few exceptions estimated
the proclamation, and the honesty of the
Federal Executive, at its true value, and
to judge from the disasters which have
accompanied Federal operations since the
beginning of the year, God has not been
cheated of His favor either.

We are not surprised to find our radi-

their illusions to the terrible insurrection
which has broken out against the Russian
sway in Poland, The events which are
now for the time being "blotting a whole
country out of the map of Europe as COM
pletely as if the sea had covered it, are
terrible commentary upon the madness
of attempting to govern millions of men

How to Escape the Draft.

The Abolitionjsts, inspired by the bold
and the bad inf lences which have en-
gulphedthe land in civilfw war, are now
busily engaged in forming secret associa,
tons throughout the country, which they
term "Union Leagues, the avowed OBJ
ject of which is the organization of the
loyal public sentiment to put down all op-
position to whatever measures the Presi-
dent may see fit to adopt in the prosecu-
ton Of the civil war against the South
The Administration newspapers. TEEN
with arguments addressed to their parti-
sans in favor of the encouragement of
these secret oath. bound associations, and
their appeals are principally addressed to
the passions and prejudices of the commu-
nifty. The New York Times of the Goth
in an article on this subject, says that
"Union men must at once organize, the
Union Leagues must be multiplied until
they reach every city, village aud hamlet
between California and Maine. Latent
loyalty must be brought out" &C., &c
"The Republic expects every one of her
sons to do his whole duty. The same e.
prst du corps, the same generous ardor,
the same intolerance, completely with the
rebels, which prevail and rule the army,
ought also to dominate outside the army
Ii the bavery and military spirit Of the
Abolition home guards were not so well
known, this new expedient of Union
Leagues might be regarded as trick to
escape the operations of the proposed con-
scription. But as the leading Abolition
lists have engaged SO CALAMITY in the war
of words, for the past two years, no
suspicion can be cast upon their valor or
courage. Still, it may be regarded as ne
cessary that the members of the Union
Leagues should be retained at home, in
order to regulate the loyalty of the wo-
men and keep the spirit in the North up
to the war standard If they should be
suffered to join the army, the spy aud
mob system might become weakened, to
the great detriment Of the Administration
and the loyalty Of the people, There can
be no doubt that the Union Leagues may
be made powerful auxiliary in produ-
cling the exemption of their members from
actual service in the army; but the threats
of their newspapers, that they will prove
formidable power in opposition to free
speech, are unworthy of notice. The man
must be IL poltroou and coward, who
will join secret oath-bound conclave un-
known to the laws, for the purpose of in
fringing upon the rights and liberties of
the people under any pretext whatever !;
and the law-abiding citizens need have no
fear of the action Of such conspirators
however numerous they may become
Let them dare to assume powers which
belong to the executive and judicial au-.
thorities of this State, or set themselves
up in contempt of those authorities,
and they may find that their leagues are
merest ropes of sand, which will fail to
protect them from the punishment which
is sure to follow such violations of the
constitutional rights of the people,

How it Was Done.

The ram Queen Of the West went up
Red River to capture sundry steam boats
reported as lying up there, and was her
self captured. On his way back to Vicks-
burg, Col. Ellet fell in with the Hdiano-
Ia, and relating his mishap, she went to re-
capture the lam, and was herself captur-
ed, the Queen of the Vest, under rebel
management assisting in ramming her in
to surrender Such experiments are
Improbable. Sending boy into hole
to assist another out, when both must stay
there, is only aggravating the difficulty
The Confederates ire poor, but we arc not
called upon to build them rams and iron
clads. The h,dianola was one of the
strongest and largest of our gun boats in
the Mississippi feet, and, with the Queea
and Webb, will prove a'serious obstacle to
our contemplated operations below Vicks-
burg, if we cannot send down other iron
clads for her recapture.1 Two iron
clads at least will now be required to cope
with the rebel fleet below, perhaps three.
1t cit is not SO easy to pay something as
it is nothing, but easier to pay largo
sum than to pay larger one, and easier to
pay any sum when we are able than it is be-
fore we are able,' then it is not SO easy to
capture a small feet as it is not to capture
any, but it is easier to capture small
feet than tits larger one, and it is
easier to capture "a large fleet when we
are able than it is before we ire able
ergo, we want three iron-clads below
Vicksburg. We trust we have made the
matter plain ~ Chicago Times. 7 i3 cav
