Progress of Free Labor asa the sOuth

M~URFRERsBOEO, Tenn, June 2. 1868.
The following is an extract from a letter
sent, to-day, from Gen. Payne to Gen. Rose
Grams. 1t is creditable to both the head and
heart of Gen. Payne, and the intelligence it
conveys is highly important and graphic.
GALLATIN, Tenn, June My plan for
changing slave to hired labor, is working ad-
mirably. We are hiring black people to their
own masters. We say to the servant that he
is to have eight dollars per month, and is to
be a faithful, good work-hand. We say to
him, in the presence of his former owner, that
if his employer does not pay him at the end
of thesmonth, in good money, then he is to re-
turn to us. We make written contracts, in
which the slave is only known as a hired man.
The Fauvien estate has upon it 168 slaves. 1t
is four miles from here. The trustees and over
seerB came to me to go there and compel the
black people to work. | told them | should
do 80, but should make a change Of plan-the
estate to pay them for their labor. They at
once agreed to it. | went down and told the
black men they should have $500 per month
and the women $500. | would stop the pay
of any lazy or disobedieut servant, and pun
ish them besides. You can form no idea of
the great change in these people. The over
seer is compelled to report to me each week,
and he says there never was anything like it.
The men had never so much work done, nor
done half so well before.
(Signed.) BRIG. GEN. PAYNE.

Our friend O. Fl. HALE Esq, o Paris, hands
us the following letter from his son., Lieut..
Hale, of the 93rd Wis. Regt., now in the ar
my before Vicksburg.
YoUNG's POINT, May 10, 1868.
@ X We are in sight of Vicksburg,
unloading our baggage from the transports,
and every few minutes the smoke can be seen
to rise from the rebel batteries, inside of the
citv. The report OF their cannon can be heard
distinctly. l understand our troops have been
fighting in the rear, three days, and that is
where we expect to go every hour. We land
five miles obove the city, and cut across through
louisiana to Carthage, thence by some means
get in the rear of Vicksburg.
We had a very pleasant time on our way
down, until we got near Greenville, when the
Crescent City was fired into by rebel batter
les on the shore, %wounding nine OF the 3rd
Iowa bows, who were on that boat. The gun
boat that escorted, us came up, land commeced
playing on them and soon drove them back. Our
brigade was landed out the shore, and sent af-
ter them, but could not catch them-cannot
say whether there were any rebels killed or
not. We found two Of their horses dead
We followed about seven miles burnt all the
plantations cam into the village of Green
Vile, burnt that to the ground, II then came
aboard the boats again, and started down the
river. We were not again troubled during
the passage.
The firing at Vicksburg seems to be in
creasing; the big guns are roaring on both
sides, az | write under the shade Of a tree
Vicksburg must fall, though thousands fall
with it."

The War and the President.

From tne new IpIk IHneA'
This wal is to save the nation. 1t is awar
not only for ourselves, but for our children to
the latest generation. 1t involves interests
of almost infinite magnitude. The men in
power at Washington are but dust in the bal
ance when weighed against the destinies at
stake. To whatever side they may shift, it
is nothing in its bearings upon the obligations
of the war. If the President usurps, impeach
him, as the Constitution provides, by the
House of Representatives, and try him by the
Senate. Hyou do not choose to do that, bear
with him for the twenty-one months he will
remain in Office, or seek to change his conduct
by arraying against him the force of public
opinion. Take any of these parts that you
please, if you think the President wrong
if you are a sane man, don't be guilty OF
the madness, if you are a loyal MAJ don't be
guilty of the faithlessness, Of saying that II
this creature of a day does this, or fails to do
that, the rebellion shall have its way and the
nation go down. You might as well say that
if the priest at the altar does not rightly per
form his duties, the Ark Of the Covenant shall
be broken and that if the ministers of the
Church go astray, religion itself shall be alb
iured.

E.oyaIIy in Indiana.

MOUNT H1rNA, IND, May II, 1863.
Editors Of the Telegraph AS we can only
arrive at correct conclusions by comparing
notes-by comparing the state o feeling and
public sentiment in different portions of the
country sit down to give you a brief sketch
Of public opinion of this county as regards the
course pursued by the Government to crush
the rebellion. You are we'll aware, | doubt
not, that Indiana is infested with some of the
most disgraceful men that ever lived and l
am sorry to say that our own county is ours
ed with some of those infamous tories.
Since the issuing of Gen. Hascalrs late or
der, they have cooled down considerably; they
have become alarmed-their traitorous
tongues are beginning to cleve to the roof of
their mouths. Gen. Darlington weakened
their spinal columns to a great extent. They
exulted greatly over the conduct of Burnside
in calling Darlington from Indianapolis, and
placing Hascall in his place. They expected
this gentleman would show them more lenity
than Darlington did, but they were sadly dis
a ppointed. His recent order cuts in on them
from all directions, and l hope most devoutly,
that he will purge Indiana of every traitor
that lives within its borders. My doctrin is
powder and lead for the ri~ngleaders, and a
trip beyond our lines for their poor cowardly
dupes. Any man or woman who has no more
sense than to follow such men as Hendricks,
Voorhees,, & Co., in their efforts to destroy the
best cove rnment in the world, are not tit to
live among loyal people, and am proud to
think the day has arrived when they must
keep their Internal mouths shut, or else take
a trip down south, where Gen. Rosecrans will
have the honor of introducing them to their
respected friend, jeff. Davis, whom they love
so well.
Messrs Editors, you may rest assured that
this county is blessed with enough of true
Union men to hang every traitor within its
limits. Huntington County is well represent
ed in the army. JAMES Il. SLACK, Col. OF the
Attn Ind. Regt, is from this county. He IS
a full blooded Jackson Democrat, | wish all
the Democrats in the North were as loyal as
he is. If they were there would be none
to send beyond our lines. The citizens OF this
county, with the exception OF a few rebel
sympathizers) are in for putting down this re-
bellion, let it cost what it may.
Yours truly,

CAMP NEAR Brooks STATION VA.
May 23d, 1852.
EDITORS TELEGRAPH.-I promised to give
YOU the particulars of our late battle near
Charlottesville, but have neglected to do SO
till now, when l should be able to give you
the full particulars Of our loss; | suppose it is
better late than never. About 4 o'clock p. NJ.
On the LIST day of May, we were ordered to
the front in line of battle. The skirmishers
had been kept pretty busy for some time, but
our battery soon put an end to their fringfor
that day. We laid on our arms all night ex-
pecting an attack early in the morning, but
we were disappointed, SO we laid there till
noon of the2d of May, when there was an order
to change position. We were ordered
back to where we camped the night
from the woods; after which about forty cav
airy men were sent in to see if every thing
was all right. They went as far as our Skin
mishers, and then came back and reported all
right, and not fifteen minutes after, we were
attacked by Jackson's whole force. We stood
however, and gave them a warm reception,
and he'd we received the assistance of only
Que battery, we could have held them in check
until we received sufficient assistance todrive
them back. But no, we had not even a
breastwork to protect us, and thus our brig
ade stood, without finching an inch, for at
least twenty minutes, when our Brigadier
General, KersonCrski, who did not leave our
Regiment from the commencement, gave us
the order to retreat, at which our whole regi
meut, made about face, and commenced re-
treating slowly, but kept on firing in our re-
treat. By this time the regiments on the left
of us, of the first division, came down on a
double quick, and all mixed up, which took
our boys along, as a matter of course; when
the panic commenced in earnest. Had we
received the assistance which ought to have
been sent us, instead of letting them lay on
their backs, and their arms stacked, till we
were obliged to retreat, we mighthave record
ed a victory instead of a retreat.
The whole loss of our regiment, at that
battle was, eight officers and 1872 enlisted men

CORRECT DooTRINE.-udge Leavitt, in his
decision refusing to release the infamous Val
landigham on the writ of Habeas Corpus,
made the following unanswerable point:
'1s not the Court imperatively bound to re-
gard the present state of the country, and in
the light which it throws upon the subject, to
decide upon the expediency of interfering with
the exercise of the military power as invoked
in the pending application? The Court can
not shut its eyes to the grave fact that war
exists, involving the most imminent public
danger and threatening the subversion and
destruction of the Constitution itself. In my
judgment, when the life of the Republic. is
imperilled, he mistakes his duty and obliga-
ton as a patriot, who is hot willing to con-
cede to the Constitution such a capacity of
adoption to circumstances as may be necessa-
ry to meet a great emergency, and save the
nation from hopeless ruin. Self-preservation
is a paramount law, which a nation, as well
as an individual, may find it necessary to in
woke"
