Emigration Treaty with Do.
llyfN.

Hon. D. K. Carter, Unttcd Suites Minister
to Bolivia, returned in the Ariel, md is now
in Washington. Hc has partially negotiated
treaty with TINT country, by which 1nany
valuable privileges of colonization will be
afforded to such Inhabitants of the United
States as may choose to use them, in case the
measure shall be consummated.
By the terms Of this proposed treaty, the
Bolivian government gives to emigrants from
The United States possession Of a.flno tract Of
country, lying in the valley Of the upper
Amazon, and cqunl in extent to two or three
Of our western States. Not only will the
colonies receive the fee Of the soil, but also
the privilege Of municipal and local govern
ment, such as arc enjoyed by the several
States Of our Union, subject only to the su-
preme power Of the realm. .. -.
The country is spoken Of in terms Of the
highest praise, both as regards soil, climate
md facilities for commerce. It Is penetrated
by the Madeira and other Amazonlan tributa-
rles, and easily accessible from the Atlantic
coast. The project has not reference alone
to the negroes whom We may desire to de-
port, but is also worthy Of consideration
from the white citizens Of this country. -.

a singular spectacle is now being presented
Missouri and Illinois. Missouri is slave State,
lias always been under slayeholding influence,
and until within very brief period u largt.
majority Of our leading men have been Us
thoroughly devoted to The interests Of the in
stitution as those Of any other Southern State,
yet her legislature to-day is actuatcd with an
enlightened spirit Of political and social free.
dom, aud .nanful1y working to. remove the
burden Of slavery from her soil. Just across
the river Is Illinois, Il State which came into
existence under the ordinance of 1857, dedi-
eating the whole Northwest to freedom, aud
which, under the influences Of free inatitu-
lions, has been developed to greatness
which places her beyona the reach Of pres
cnt rivalry from Missouri; aud yet her leEis-
laturc, II VT ere to judge from the accounts
received, seems 10 be most Of nll anxious,
upon It's assembling, to sisnalize itself by an
lest against the Presidents national edict Of
freedom. This is certainly novel state Of
things, but perhaps not SO unaccountable
from the actual relations Of the two
States, as might at first impression be
supposed Missouri has had expert:
.cnce Of slavery rs 1t is, and most sor-
rowfully has she rcaped It's bitter fruits in the
months. She has had q practical test of it's
operations md bearings, and looking acrbss
the river upon the 1nxuriant and peaceful
fields of her Free State ncighbors, where
there has been no war because no slavery, she
has made up her mind to become herself free
Illinois has had no slavery aud no war. She
has had no experience Of the Immediate intlu-
ence Of the institution which her legislators
seem to hold in such high estimation. With
her, slavery Is thing Of tile imagination, not
Of reality-a thing which is to bc weighed ns
IN element Of political power, and not MS q
practical present agency. If she had had her
soil trnyersed with contcnding armies for
eighteen months, which the Institution had
invited TO the struggle for the mastery, her
views upon the question might be quite diff
fercnt. :: Without invoking upon our ncighbor
any positive evil, ne don't know but that our
charities would admit Of our wishing for ILL.,
rois, tust for sufficient length Of time to
thoroughly find out how it works, that she
might have trial Of the practical operations
Of the institution in rebellion. Then she
might not long continue to be so highly enam-
orcd Of her present pro'slavery Democracy.

: Gen Butler, on Saturday had another pro-
longcd interview with the President at the
White House, at which Secretary Stanton

time, Secretaries Seward and Chase.
: Parties whose; opportunities for knowing

Gen. Buffers visit tothe North wins volun-!
tary, and not commanded By the government.
It is very certain that he feels. to soma extent,
that injustice was done him: BY his suppressed:
ure without notice ;~and In this feeling he
seems to have the entire sympathy of all tue.
thoroughly loyal. 'E
. 1t Is proper, however, to state that the
President expresses every confidence in Gen.
Butler, and entire satisfaction with his course
at New Orleans :'''
Gen. Butler, ut his urgent request, has OBJ
tanned permission to visit his home In Lowell,
Mass. - : j
The important command talked Of In the
papers for Gen. But:2-that Of the Depart;

NOT YET CUT IN TWO.

Wc have no reason to doubt the COM
pletc success Of the raid into East Tennes-
sec, and the interruption Of the direct rebel
line Of communication between Virginia
and the Southwest, by Our troops. The.
accounts IRE too specific and minute to
admit Of any question Us to their general
credibi]ity. They chronicle great aud
gratifying success; but enough has not
been done yet. Communication BY more
cjrcuitous and difficult route is still posi-.
bic; and not until our forces reach At
1anta, where they ought to have been two
months ago, will the two sections Of the
Confederacy be divided. Starting from
Montgomery, there is railroad line, and,
We believe, a tolerably good one, formerly
well supplied with rolling stock, to Charles
ton. Thence to Richmond :hc route is
open aud all the while travelled, and, un-
less cut off far North, is not easily inter
rupted. Hence, in sending troops and
munitions back and forth, longer time will
be consumed and more expense incurred;
but the road is still open-a fact that our
rulers in Washington understand, and that
they viii, of course, act upon, by urging
Rosecrans forward toward the Gull, or by
giving Gen. Foster the means of pushing
9 strong column into the interior, where
he may reach the North and South line
which has served the enemy 80 well.
