voluntary Emancipation
lFrom The Platte County Sentinel, Sept q
The work of immediate emancipation,
by owners voluntarily setting their slaves
free, is going forward quite extensively
in Platte county. Yesterday, N. j.
Alexander, Esq, residing near Weston,
liberated eight Of his negroes. His wife
had all their clothes washed and put in
order; Mr.. A. furnished them with trans
portation, and funds TO meet incidental
expenses, and provisions to last them
until next spring We fear that these
negroes will never find a homo such as
they had in the family of their late mas
ter and mistress.
Mr. Joseph Pence informs us that be
shall do the same with his slaves as Mr..
Alexander has and that they are only
waiting to hear from Kansas, before TAX
ing up their line of march.
Large numbers of slaves, we learn, have
been liberated 10 this manner in differ
ent parts of the county. A gentleman
informed us that some fifty had been set
free and started for Kansas in one day in
his neighborhood.

Duel Between Confederate Gem

A duel was fought at Bayou Metaire
on Sunday the 9th inst, between the Con-
federate Generals Marmaduke and Marsh
Walker, in which the latter was mortal
ly wounded MarmaduiIe until lately
was the ranking officer Of his, OVENS
and Walkers divisions, stationed at
Brownsville, but commission of Major
General coming on for Walker, he at once
took command by virtue of his rank, and
ordered his troops to fall back upon
Bayou Metaire, where Price was station
ed. On falling back Msrmaduke accu-
sed Walker of cowardice, whereupon
Walker challenged him, and they fought
with pistols at eight PAGES. AT the first
fire Gen. Walker was shot through the
bowels. When our informant left on the
Tuesday following, be was not dead, but
it was thought be could survive but q
short time. The Arkansas troops. with
whom be was q great favorite, are in q
terrible state of excitement, and threaten
to clean out Marmaduke and his Missouri
troops
To which we say, Amen! Can't the
rebels get up few nice little duel par
ties betw cen JEFF Davis and Stephens,
Bragg and Joe Johnston, Harris and Polk?
1t would afford an agreeable variety to
the tremendous Wholesale fights which
ever and anon shake the land.

rho marringe Warner.

In addition to the ordinary demand
for husbands in this State, there will be
an additional crying demand made by
some ten thousand young women, who
lost their sweethearts in the army, TO say
nothing of as many widows, some of
whom may also desire 10 form new mat
rimoniAl alliances. 1t is appalling to re-
feet upon the b avoc which the war has
made upon our people, and the necessary
arrangement of the social relations con-
sequent upon this havoc. Think of ten
thousand young women prevented from
entering into the marriage relation, which
is the basis and source Of we'll ordered
society, in consequence of the remorse
less ravages of war. This frightful de-
fciency of husbands must be made up
by immigration. Among the multitudes
Of settlers who will flock hither after the
war is over will be large number Of
enterprising, adventurous young men,
who will come to seek their fortunes in
cur unsurpassed State, whose charms
will not invite the industrious and thrift
ty in vain. Many of these young men
viii be persons Of high order of tall
ent and intellectual culture, who will
contribute largely to direct the for
tunes of the State The army of the
Cumberland has thousands of gallant
young spirits who will make their
homes in Tennessee hereafter, and who
will iniuse into her institutions the
life, energy and progress which so
splondidly characterize The flourish
ing States Of the Northwest. And thous.
ands will come from the East, and across
the ocean, as our ancestors did of old.
The natural and easy progress of events
will supply the present desrth in the
matrimonial market, and thousands OF
discousolate dsmsels will assume with
delight the names Of adventurous Counts,
Earls and Barons, from Europe; philo-
sophers, professional men, manufacturers
and artisans from the East; merchants
and bankers, from the Middle States, and
thrifty farmers, the hsppiest Of men, from
the Northwest

uarashIp ana PrIvatIon

A gentkrian who has recently returned
from visit 70 Warren county, lhecoun-
ty seat OF which is MoMinnville, and be-
fore the rebellion one Of the wealthiest
and most prosperous portions Of Middle
Tennessee, states that The people have
been stripped Of everything during the
progress Of the civil war, except their
lands and houses Their horses, mules,
cattle and negroes arc gone, aud most Of
their crops have been plundered. Many
white women, once in cot Portable cir
oumstances, are working out of doors
and men who three years ago wanted
nothing, are now forced to shell few
ears of corn and carry it on their backs
to mill, in order to get 3 little meal Men
and women who two years ago talked
treason and did all in their power to
promote the rebellion, in order to secure
their slaves, are now forced to bring their
own wood and water and cook their
own meals, while their negroes, enamel =
pated by the rebellion, are enlisted in the
Federal army, never again to lie remain
ded to slavery.
At the beginning of the war, General
Pillow boasted that he had 500 negroes
on his beautiful plantation near Column
bis, in Msury county, region notorious
for its malignant treason and persecution
of all loyal men. We are told that all
his adult slaves, male and female, have
run away, leaving some forty small negro
children for Mrs. Pillow to support. The
General has got his rights abundantly
after having succeeded in running many
of his neighbors. We might enumerate
many more similar cases, beginning in
this city Wealth and luxury bred this
wicked rebellion, and perhaps few years
of rough penance, fasting and want, may
open the eyes of the people to the enor-
nifty of treason. The prodigal son die
not return to his fathers house until his
goods were all spent, and be had to fgh
with the swine to get few of the husk
which they were eating.

We are informed that President Davis
was heard to exclsim in circle of
friends at the Capitol, that he would
snatch Tennessee from the clutches of
the Abolitionists, if il took the united
armies of the South to accomplish il.
From the signs of the times, it begins TO
look very much as If that obstinate man
meant what he said. We begin TO be-
lieve now, that we shall be driving our
quill in the capital Of Tennessee be.

Bragg is surrounded by agalaxy of high.

ring his whole military career. Polk,

perhaps command corps, Cheatham,

Then Gordon Granger reaching Che
Geld when all was trepidation, usbed

the limit Of this hasty article, but whose
souls seemed to rise equal to the awful
RESPONSIBILITIES Of the critical occasion.
The rebel leaders, too, foughtlike mad
men, as their heavy loss Of General off,
GERS indicates, They felt that success
would be the greAtest achievement Of the
war, while defeat would be the next thing
TO irretrieysble ruin, if not ruin in very
deed.
The object Of the rebel leaders, the
capture of Chattanooga and the annihi-
lation of the sole obstacle which kept
them from the capital of Tennessee, failed
utterly. If they were not themselves
defeated, they had made too close
an approach to defeat TO allow of any ex-
ultalion on their part, They have lost
an abundance of their material of war
men, Generals, guns and ammunition
which they were least able to spare
The United States can better afford t.
lose three men than the rebel States e
lose one; and they can better afford e
lose ten guns than the rebels TO lose one
So ceases the struggle for Chattanooga
for time We say, for time, only
because the rebels cannot afford 10 Civ,
up a position Of such commanding i'm
portaDce. If il be not recovered tn
! Confederaey will be lost. The mail
, communication between Virginia and tn
cotton States is broken off by the FEEDER
| al occupation of Chattanooga, and Ess
{ Tennessee and the only remaining com
) munication is liable to be destroyed a
, any moment Therefore, we anticipate
another struggle for the re.capture o
Chattanooga at an early day. Every
available soldier and militia conscrip
, will be hurried there 10 swell the rebe
army. There will be but two rebel arm

! Bragg on our front. We do not heliev
J they will give up Richmond with
out desperate effort to hold it, for th
, moral effect of its loss would be yer,
I great. Richmond must be held and Chat

p be the rebel programme, and if concen
+ tration and desperation will enable ther
n to effect their purposes, they will do i
They will reinforce TO the utmost of thei
q power How much Probably 1000
n men, $4,000 if they can rake them to
gether. They will renew the fight wit
not less than 10000 troops, and posi-
bly, many more. To regain Chattanooga
/ they can afford to strip Mobile, Charles
4 ton and other places for time.
y Is the Government alive to the vast i'm
n portAnce of making the position of OF

Il us see that the historian shall have re;

Tennessee is the Holy Land of the
rebel COnfederAcy her fertile fields
tseming with prOdigiOus harvests; her
various and exhaustless mines of coal,
copper, iron, and marble; and more than
all, her vigorous and hardy population,
all make her invaluable to the rebels.
But JEFF Davis shrivelled claws will not
be able to snatch Tennessee from the
giant, grasp of Uncle Sam. A tom tit
might as well try to snatch a sheep from
the talons of an eagle.
