Monsieur de Mcnsnier, author Of the article en-
titled Etats Jnis, in the Encyclopedia Methodique
before lis publication submitted it to Mr. Jeller
son for correction.
Among the miscellaneous papers left by Mr..
Jefferson, is one containing the corrections made
by him.
Present events will give interest to the follow.
ing extract from that paper:
NJ. de Mensner, where be mentions that the
slave law has been passed 10 Virginia, without the
clause Of emancipation, IS pleased to mention that
neither Mr.. Wythe nor Mr. Jefferson was present
to make the proposition they had meditated from
which people, who do not give themselves the
trouble to reflect or inquire, might conclude has-
ly that their absence was the cause why the prop
osition was not made; ard, Of course that there
we're not IN the Assembly persons Of virtue and
Jir1aHess enough to propose the clause for emanci.
patton. This supposition would not be true.
There we're persons there who wanted neither tie
virtue to PROPOSE nor talents to enforce the prop
ston, had they seen that the disposition Of the
Legislature was ripe for it. These worthy char
acters would feel themselves woundfd degraded
and discouraged by this idea Mr. Jefferson
would, therefore, be obliged to NJ. de Mensnier,
the two Commissioners, who had concerted the
amendatory clause Tor the gradual emancipation
of slaves Mr.. Wythe could not 10 present, he
being member Of the Judiciary department, anu
Mr.. Jefferson was aO snl on the legation to
Efatce But there were not wanting in that As
sembly men Of virtue enough to propose, and tai.
4nts to yindiclte this clause But they saw that
the moment for doing it with success was not ar
rived and that an unsuccessful effort, as too often
happens, would only rivet sti closer the chains o.
bondage, and felard the moment Of delivery to
ihi- oppressed description Of men. What stu.
pendous what an incomprehensbe machine is
man! 6hl can endure toll, famine, stripes, i'm
prisonment, and death itself IN yndicaion Of BIZ
own liberty, and the mex moment be deaf to all
those motives whose power supported him through
his trial, and inhct on bis fellow men bondage
one hour Of which is iraughl with more miset!
than ages Of that which he rose il rebellion to op
pose. Bul We must await with patience the work
ings Of an overriding Providence, and hope thai
that is preparing the deliveranee Of those our suf
fefing brethren When the measure Of theii
tear, shall be full, when their groans shall have
involved heaven itself in darkness, doubtless
God of Justice will awaken to their distress, anC

From the Thirteenth Vermont.

WOLF Rus SHOALS Va, March 18th, 1868.
Nix. EDITOR The 18th still remains in its
old camp, performing its old dutes and but little
has taken place since last wrote The weather
during March, for the most part, has been quite
winierish as any month though when we
have hadan occasional fair day, It has been warmer
and more sprng-ke. We have been reinforced
here By the l4th regiment and the balance Of the
brigade have gone to Union MdIs. Col, Blunt
now commands the brigade, and his headquarters
and that Of the brigade band are at Union ILLS
The band paid US a visit last week, and during the
few days ii stayed here we heard more ron it than
ever before. The band, to a certain extent, has
been monopolized by the General at Fairfax
Court House. 1t has improved wonderfully since
we last heard it phy and is now, really, a first
rate band.
The capture Of Gen. Stoughton ciused some
excnment and good deal Of talk here. lie
has been thoroughly, and heartily, and | nigh!
say almost universally blamed and abused. No
iusinuation has been too mean to fling at him
| 10 lot share in the prevailing sentiment against
him. or honor the motives OF those that abuse
him. Gen. Stoughton laid himself open TO CEN
sure, in being so far away from his troops, but
this is not uncommon. Gen. Slocum made his
headquarters at the Court House, while his troops
were anywhere from the Station to Dumfrees.
Stoughton might have been taken IN The lcry he
lrGS taken, even while his whole brigade was en-
camped about the Court House, though no one
at that time, ever talked OF his being imprudent
in being so far away from his men. The fact is,
Capt. Mosby did bold, shrevd thing, and Gen.
Stoughton was the unlucky victim, and why
should we kick him, now he is down Why
take the occasion Of his misfortune, to abuse and
injure the character and reputation Of brave and
tried soldier ? Our pickets have never been mo-
lested here, though the cavalry picAets below, on
our left, have been taken. We have been on the
alert two or three times, either from the presence
or the report OF the presence Of the enemys cav
airy in front, and the regiment has been called
out, or portion Of it sent to strengthen the pick
cts, Other than this, all has been quiet along the
OCcaquan.
The health Of the regiment has not been as
good for the past three or four weeks, though the
sick list is gradually decreasing. Measles and
jaundice have been the prevailing diseases, and
Co. "B (Wailsfed) thus far, the greatest suf.
ierers.
The plymasler is daily expected With four
months pay, and this is all at present from the
THIRrERNTH.
