THIS weeks Guernsey (Ohio) Jkferson-
ian contains the Opinion of Hon&J JOHN
W.OKHY, Judge in the Eighth Judicial
District, concerning the Invaidity of the
Statute of Ohio which authorizes soldiers
to vote" The Judge argues the question
at considerable length and with distin-
gui.hsd learning and ability, and, after .
careful analysis of the law, the Constitu
tional provision, and the principles involv-
cd, is fully of the opinion that the statute
is constitutional and that the soldiers vote
is valid. This able and just opinion will
be read with deep degree of interest by
the citizens Of Ohio at home and by the Ohio
soldiery, for Judge OKEY is pretty general
ly recognized as about as sound Demo
crat as can be found His Opinions, De-
cisions, and Jury Charges, are universally
characterized by an earnest desire to pre-
serve the purity of the judiciary, by a
"strict and undertaking adherence to the
letter and spirit Of the written and I'M
writtea law of the land" and an entire alb
ssnce of anything of psrtizan nature. The
law upon which he passes his opinion, was,
however, originated and supported in the
Legislature by Democrats, was endorsed oy

veution, and applauded by thu Democratic
orators and press of Ohio; yet, singularly
enough, their opponents havA largely at

on National Affairs.

At Danville, Ky, on Thanksgiving day,
the Rev. DR.. X. J. Breckenridge, preached
q sermon, of which We find brief sketch
in the Cincinnati Gazette. His text was lst
Corn. XIV, 57--"But thanks be to God,
which giveth us the victory, through uur
Lord Jesus Christ" The Doctor treated
hi. subject under the following divisions !:
l. That the government Of the United
States against which this rebellion is waged
has not in any department Of it, in any
manner or at any time, from its origin IL
the present day, done any act which could
possibly justify, before God or man. the sin,
crime, and madness OF its attempted over
throw.
Somebody is to be held responsible to
God and man, for oil the blood, murder, ra-
pine, cruelty, and desolation which now per
wade the land for this rebellion is sin, and
the duty Of sustaining this government is a
religious Guty. made so by the clearest
teaching, all through the word of God. .
2. That, when this rebellion occurred,
the people Of the loyal states rose up as one
man " put it down; and, though evil men
instiyated by the devil, have tried to divide
and distract the loyal people and did for
tiGss so far succeed as to humble US, yet we
are now ~ recent events show, thoroughly
united, and more determined to put down
the rsbeliop than ever. .sFs
3. That God had so completely frustra
ted all the calculations OF the leaders of the
rebellion, on which their hopes Of success
had been built.
That God had restrained the great
powers Of the world, 90 as to prevent their
iptsrfsrencs in our quarrel.

tbs DAY Of drafting in West Virginia 10
fat approaching, and as yet there has been
no general effort toward securing tho 70.
quired number Of volunteers. Already
nearly one-half the allotted time has past.
cd away, and, as far as the appearance on
the surface 10 concerned, recruiting goes on
exceedingly slowly. Here and there some
local effort is being made, and, we suppose,
some success secured but generally,
throughout the State, there 10 no general
cooperative movement to ELL up the quota
of the different localities. We can assure
those who are in the lucky class, that pre-
cieus time is being lost, We doubt if there
is . township or ward in the State where,
three weeks ago, local bounty OF forty or
fifty dollars, with general and spirited ct
fort to secure the men, would not have
raised the requierd number. Much more
effort and much more labor will now DO
needed to attain the same result. The pre-
sent imperative duty is, for all hands to 90
to work msnfully and zealously and secure
the volunteers. When it is settled, as it ID,
that the men will be secured by draft, if not
BY volunteering, the necessity becomes
doubly apparent. There are hardships.
sscridcss and losses and crosses in volun
tesring, but with . general sffor to make
them Is light as possible, they are far less
than will result from the draft. Those who
do not 60, can and must smeothe the way
Cor those who do. They can give of their
substance, give of their money and means,
90 that those who volunteer may 60 forward
without being borne down by fears for the
comfort of those they leave behind. But
one month now remains in which to secure
volunteers. Whatever is done, must be
done quickly. Five dollars now, will do
more than ten will one month hence. Let
the work commence at once.

slavery Hes'slsts sne Growth %
Mr. Bright, 10 tho recent debate in The
House Of Commpns. on recognition Of the
COnfederates, presented the following
estimate TO show how Slavery restricted
the supply Of cotton, by combining its
production TO the large capitalists The
Mississippi Senator, 70 whom lac refer
red, is understood TO be Mr.. Walker;
If 3 platter in the Southern States
wanted TO grow 1000 bales of cotton a
year, he would require about 1000 ne
groes. Taking them at $500 or 2l00
each, which is not more than half the
price of a first class hand, tie cost of
the 200 would be 100000. To grow
1000 bales Of cotton a year you require
not only 70 get hold Of an estate, ma
chinery, tools, and other things necessa-
~ to carry on the cotton-gc % wing bust
ness, but you must lind a capital Of
100000 to buy the actual laborers,
by whom the plantation is TO be worked,
and, therefore, as every gentleman will
see at once, this great trade, to a large
extent, was shut up ia the hands of men
who were required TO be richer than
would be necessary ii slavery did not
exist. Thus the plantation business, to
a large extent, became q monopoly, and
therefore, even in that direction the pro-
duction of cetton was constantly limited
and controlled. I was speaking to a
gentleman the other day from Missis-
sippi. / believe no mar in America or
in England is more acquainted with the
facts of this case. He has been for
many years a Senator in the State of
Mississippi. He told me that every one
of these facts was true, and he said, al
have no doubt whatever that in ten yeas
after freedom in the South, or after free
dom in conjunction with the North, the
production of cotton would be doubled,
and cotton would be forwarded to the
of the world at q much less
price than We have had it for many years
past
This is a very important considera-
ton for our Tennessee cotton growers.
There is not a shadow Of doubt that
with free labor they can produce more
cotton, of a much better quality than
they do at present, with slave labor.
This is not mere theory. A large cotton
planter from Arkansas is now in this
city. Some time ago all his slaves ran
off, and he was compelled to hire laborers
to attend to his crop. He aays that it
is by far the best crop he has ever
raised, and that it has been much less
trouble and expense than any previous
one. Let our planters all mike a trial
Of this. Honesty is H BEST PoLIcY.

The Confederacy IL now paying seven

value Of slaves in Maryland

- 1870
A recent sale Of negroes near Lock-
Vile, Md, illustrates the comparative
worthlessness of slave property in that
State. Seven likely, young, full grown
negroes brought, in all, one hun
dred and twenty-six dollars, an average
of only eighteen dollars a-head.
We have ~oonversed recently with sew
ernl large Shareholders from Southern
Kentucky. They say that the decline
in the price of slaves is from thirty to
fifty per cent, the average decline being
nearer the latter figure. The price Of a
slave depends almost wholly on his per-
sonal situation and feelings. A steady
slave who has a wife on or near bis
owners farm, is considered valuable in
his neigbborhood. But slaves brought
from a distance, or young men and wo-
men who have no domestic ties to bind
them, or slaves who have ever manifest
cd a disposition TO run Off will not bring
any price at all. They are considered
as intangible as the wind. A man would
as soon think Of investing his money in
a contingent interest in q flock of wild
pigeons, or a school Of herring swimming
in midocean, as to in vest it in such fuga-
cious children Of Ham. Thus Kentucky
is fast being practically Abolitionised."
