AS Pomberton and Grant drew near
each other, both, though involuntary,
paused, perhaps waiting each the first
word from the other This slight elm
barrassmentlwas brought to close by
Montgomery, who stepped forward and
formally introduced the two Chieftains
They shook hands, Pemberton being
apparently little discnccrted by the
complacency of his opponent These
men meeting thus after long siege,
in which they had been pittcd against
each other, had been lieutenants to
gether in the same commands in many
hard fought battles in Mexico Hence
they We're personally known to each
other. Seldom do such meetings occur
outside the pale Of romance. Pember-
tens first remark was that he had
been present when different fortresses
surrendered to the Federal arms in
tho war with Mexico. En- allthcse the
enemy were granted terms and condi-
tions. He thought his army as well
entitled to these favors as Il foreign
foe. Grant listened, and then pro.
posed a private conversation Of few
moments. 1t struck Pemberton forc.

the previous year. He advises that the laws of
the State be revised and codified recommends
improvements at the State Prison, and that the
Eastern Boundary Survey shall be completed
without unnecessary delay, and hopes the ques-
tion of taxing the mines by the General Govern
ment will never be revived. There is in the
Common School Fund seven per cent. bonds of
the State to the amount of S26S, 800 against
S79,0 900 at the commencement of his term.

Directors feel confident of completing the first

INDIAN MATTERs-We hear that movement
has been projected by citizens of the western
and southern border of this county, having for
its end the speedy and certain determination of
the hostile Indians in this and Humboldt coun-
ties. No one probably feels a greater interest in
seeing these savage pests extermnated than we,
yet we believe the manner proposed not an ad-
visabe one at present. 1t is this Citizens pro-
pose to raise or pledge themselves for a certain
amount of money-say 81 900 or So 900 Then
an independent company is to be raised, its
members to fight Indians in their own way,
wherever they find them, they to receive ceI-
tain bounty for each scalp taken. This is the
mode proposed, as we understand it. If such be
the real intention of citizens of this or humboldt
county, we hope they will take no further steps
in the matter tpresent, for the following reason
with the plans of Col Whipple for the prosecu-
they will prove successful when everything is in
readiness But the time is not yet 1t is too
early in the season to fight Indians successfully.
When the winter SHOWS have driven them from
their mountain strongholds they will be at our
mercy. Recruiting for the Battalion is going on
briskly, and when the time comes to 90 at the
work in earnest all hands will be called into re-
quisition, even if Forts and Posts have to be
deprived of their garrisons. We believe the
present Indian campaign will be successfully
ended before the first of next July We hope
the border settlers will be patient yet a little
longer

had been many conflicts on land and sea, with
varying results. The rebellion had been pre- ssed
back into reduced limits yet the tone of public
feeling at home and abroad, was not satisfactory
With other signs, the popular election then just
passed indicated uneasiness among ourselves,
while amid much that was cold and menacing,
the kindest words coming from Europe uttered
in accents Of pity that we were too blind to sur
render.
EMANCIPATION.
The policy of emancipation and employing
black soldiers gave to the future new aspect,
about which, hope and fear and doubt contended
in uncertain conflict. According to our polit-
ical system, as a matter of civil administration,
the General Government had no lawful power to
effect Emancipation in any State, and for long
time it had been hoped that the rebellion could
be suppressed without resorting to it as a militia
ry measure. 1t was all the while deemed posi-
bic that the necessity for it might come, and that
if it should, the crisis of the contest would then
be presented. 1t came, was portended, it was
followed by dark and doubtful days. Eleven
months have passed. We are permitted to take
another review. The rebel borders are pressed
still further back, and by the complete opening
of the Mississippi river, the country dominated
over by the rebellion is divided into two distinct
parts with no practical communication between
them. Tennessee and Arkansas have been so sub
stantially cleared of the insurgents and their
control and influence that the citizens of each
and the owners of slaves and those who were
advocates Of slavery at the beginning OF the re-
bellion, now declare openly for emancipation
in their respective States. Of those States not
included in the Emancipation Proclamation were
Maryland and Missouri, neither of which years
ago, would tolerate any restraint upon the eX-
tenton of slavery into the new Territories. The
only dispute is as to the best mode OF re-
moving it within their own limits.
100, 900 BLACKS IN THE sERvICE-50, 900 IN ARMS.
OF those who were slaves at the beginning of
the rebellion fully one hundred thousand are now
in the United States military service, about one
half of which number actually bear arms in the
ranks thus giving the double advantage of taking
so much labor from the insurgents cause and
supplying the place which otherwise be filled
with so many white men. SO far as tested is
difficult to say that they not as good soldiers
as anv. No servile insurrection or tendency to
violence and cruelty has marked the measures OF
emancipation and armng the blacks. These
measures have been discussed in foreign cOun-
tries and cotemporaneously with such discus
sion the tone of public sentiment there is much
improved. At home the same measures have
been fully discussed, supported, criticized and
denounced, and the annual elections following
are highly Encouraging to those whose duty it
is to bear the country through this great trial.
We have the reckoning. This crisis which
threatened to divide the friends Of the Union is
past.
