The Richmond DispHch has the follow
ing editorial comments Gu JEFF. DAVIS
proclamation against BUTLER:
The proclamation against Butler and his
associates comes up to the full measure Of
public expectation. The delberation with
whict the conclusions OF the Executive
have been arrived at, gives additional So
lemnity and dignity to his purpose. The
brute and his minions will discover that it
does not follow because sentences against
an evil work is not executed speedily that
it is forgotten or forgiven.
Those of our own people, tco. who have
been disposed to complain OF the Presi-
dents alleged Indifference to the fate of
Mumford, will see that they have done him
great injustice, and that he has remember
ed it longer, perhaps, than some OF bis
censorS. Iii this, as in other cases, it
would be us well for those Of us who in
habit the wales of private life, and whose
qualifications for conducting the govern
ment of the country have never yet been
discovered by our fellow-citizens, to be
very modest and charitable in orr
structures upon the course Of those whom
we have placed in power, and who from
their official and intellectual elevation are
probably able to acquire wider sweep
of the horizon than those who dwell upon
the plains. We trust that the proclama-
ton against Butler and his officers, should
they fall into our hands, will be carried out
to the very letter. The black flag is the
only answer to the unheard-of crimes of
these enemies of tho human race.

Nobody to Blame, Again.

We have published, as they came to
hand, pretty full reports OF the testimony
taken before the Committee on the Con-
duct of the War, from BURNSIDE and his
generals, and from HAILEoK, and the other
officials at Washington. All agree that
the failure of the Rappahannock campaign
was attributable to the non-arrival of the
pontoons at Falmouth. at the time when
they were wanted, and were expected.
But nobody seems disposed to shoulder
the blame of the failure though
each one insists that somebody was at
fault. And SOMEBODY not being discov-
covered, it amounts, practically, to the old
fact over again, that NoBoDY was to blame
NOBODY has more sins to answer for, since
this war began than was ever laid to the
charge of any known living mortal; and
he will have a tough time OF it in the day
of Judgment, however easily he may slip
through the clutches of law and justice, as
these are administered at Washington.
BURNSIDE told HALIEcK that he wanted
the pontoons at Falmouth, and when he
would want them. The pontoons we're at
Washington; and, as BURNSIDE had his
hands full in reorganizing his army in the
field, and preparing it for marching and
fighting, he supposed HALLECK would at
tend to the trifiing dnty Of forwarding
them. In this, however, it proved he was
mistaken 1t wasn't General-in- Chief
HAILEcK's business. Generals-in-C Chief
don't attend to petty details. Generals
in-Chief are absorbed in heavy ''brain :"
work, on the most comprehensive scale.
And, supplying pontoons isn't brain -
work, of the three star stripe; but rather
suited to q captains capacity, or at most
to colonel'S. Stars have high places,
whence they glitter brilliantly Or shine
serenely, far above the petty soaring
of eagles, and all such; and the dignity
and distance OF stars must be preserved in
the military as well as the celestial line :;
and HALLEcK, therefore, does nothing and
says nothing, but shines and wrinkles in
the most approved General-in- Chief
fashion.
The army is marching against the enemy
at Fredericksburg, and can reach them
only by means of pontoons to cross the
river running between: the new COM
mander in the field, overwhelmed with
weighty and unsought responsibilities.
makes known his wants to the General-in-
Chief: who, approaching their necessity,
vet disn,isses them from his care and
thought, as unsuited to the proprieties of
his place; and the delay follows, and all
the disasters which grow out Of it
We would like to have somebody tell us
what the duties of General-in-Chief are.
If HA1LEcK has any, he manages to shirk
the responsibilities OF them with rare
facility: and 10 show an amount of
''brains' IN inventing excuses for doing
nothing, which might be of service to the
country, if employed in more active
tialI

Rebellion Ended without Blood
shed.
shed,

The President has issued his Proclama-
ton, granting freedom to the four or five
millions of slaves in the seeded States.
We conclude that this act ends the REBEL
ion. BY the ma &c OF the Presidents pen,
the Army OF the Union has, in something
less than the twinkling OF an eye, been
increased from tllree-Quarters OF million
to five millions and a half, at least. This
marvellous multiplication of force ought to
awe the rebel INTO instant submission. and
we have no doubt it will. They could
hold their OWN with us pretty evenly,
while the opposition forces were about
equal but ii is against all conceptions of
human endurance, that they can stand up
with the odds against them of six to one.
1t is a mathematician demonstration that
they can't. We may, therefore, confident
~ announce, as we hereby do, and with
the highest satisfaction, that the rebellion
is ended, and that the great proclamation
did it.
For, no man will be heretical enough to
disbelieve in the instant and pervading eff
ficacy of the Presidential edict To doubt,
in the innermOst recesseS of the mind, that
the proclamation of freedom TO the slaves
OF the South actually makes them tree, is
covert disloyalty, at the least and the
audible utterance of such 4 doubt is open
treason, and that without remedy. We
call upon the Provost Marshal of this State
to keep his eyes and ears open for the de-
lection and apprehension of all who ques
ton the bearing and effect of the eman
clifton decree. We demand Of him
that he shall require his subordinate
spies to keep their eyes and ears
open, also for the same purpose.
Much depends on the alertness, and
the vigor of those holding like posi-
tons, for the ultimate result. More, in
deed, than we have now time to explain.
This much, however, we will say, that he
owes it to the President, and the glorious
cause of human freedom, to chuck any
man into Fort Warren or Fort Lafayette,
who dares to assert that there has been
solitary niger in bonds on this North
American continent, since New Years
day.
We are glad that the rebellion is def
nitely closed out. And, since it has been
accomplished so easily, it is a pity that the
decisive step had not before been taken
Without going very far back, it is sad to
think that this proclamation had not been
issued before BURNSIDE moved his masses
against the heights of Fredericksburg.
Ten thousand might have been saved
there, had the President been fortnight
earlier, But the proclamation has comeas
it has, and we must accept it thankfully as
it is. If we could not have the rebellion
ended by the middle of December, we are
glad enough that the President gave it a
quietus on the first of January.

The Banks Expedition

The BANKS expedition arrived al New
Orleans on the 14th instant, and on the
18th General BANKS superseded General
BUTLER, taking command of the Depart
ment of the Gulf, General IIuTIER to re-
port Immediately at Washington. The
change took the New Orleans people by
surprise, but is readily acquiesced in.
General BANKS has an ample force, and
action is the word, The opening Of the
Mississippi may be looked for at once, and
quick and heavy blows will be expected at
the vital points OF the rebellion in the
Southwest A portion of his fleet took
possession Of Baton Rouge on the 18th,
the rebels having peaceably retired. We
print in another place General Butter

What is to be Done with fi.e African
Regiments.

the T,'ib"nc, upon the organization OF
which the President has determined. will

Mississippi after it shall have been opened
by our fleets and armies The immense
black population resident on the great river
will, when freed and armed, be amply
sufficient to protect peaceful commerce
from mOlestation. Other African regi.
ments will be employed to garrison the
forts below New Orleans and on the coast
which are exposed to the diseases of /;
Southern cline. Others still will doubt
less be used to enforce the proclamation OF
freedom for the benefit of their BRETHREN
1t is sl,rmised that Gen. Phelps will have

ton OF General Cameron's plan of year
ago.

1t is understood that the President, in
his action upon the bill now in his hands
for the admission Of West Virginia as a
separate State, will be guided mainly by
the question Of the constitutionaiity of the
measure, as indicated by the Attorney
General. Mr.. BATES has already given
his opinion in the case. 1t was written in
reply to question of member of the
West Virginia Convention, in session at
Wheeling, year and half ago. He puts
the case clearly and forcibly, and is
opposed to The creation Of ,aeec Slate, at
this period Of time. 1t is probable, under
these circumstances, that the President
will veto the bill.

The Importance OF One Mile.

Bv constructing Il canal about three
fourths of a mile in length, from Big Stone
Lake to Lake Traverse, steamboats, from st.
Paul could navigate both the Minnesota
river and the Red river of the North to
Lake Winnipeg, ii distance Of seven hun
bred miles! The country traversed by
these rivers is surprisingly fertile, and ca
pable of sustaining Il dense population.
Lake Winnipeg is larger than Lake Onta-
rio, and receives the Saskatchewan river
from the west. The Saskatchewan riv-
or is manageable to q point Edmonton
House, near the Rocky Mountains, seven
hundred miles west of Lake Winnipeg,
and only one hundred and fifty miles east
of the celebrated gold diggings on Frazer
river, in British Columbia.
The digging Of that one mile OF canal
would. therefore. enable a steamboat at
New Orleans to pass into Lake Winnipeg,
and from thence to Edmonton House,
some 5000 miles! A bill has been intro
duced into the Senate by Senator RICE,
which makes provision for the building of
the canal.
Probably in the world there cannot be
found spot across which the digging Of
so short canal would effect result so
prodigious. And, what is almost equally
IL IL
lakes is so low, and SO level, that, it is said
the water flows in times of freshets from
one to the other.
fit be true that q canal so short, and
so feasible can be dug, we hope the work
will be promptly executed. For it would
open to commerce country ofvast extent,
and of present as well as of great future
value.

The year 1859 was the first in which
Minnesota produced cereals of any kind for
expectation. From the foregoing exhibit
of the shipments Of the chief grain port i'll
the State, during the past four years, the
rapid increase in the production may be
inferred. Winonanow stands, we believe,
at the head OF the grain receiving and ship
ping ports on the Upper Mississippi, and
second only to the cities OF Milwaukee,
Chicago, and Toledo, on the Lakeside
Publican.
