The rebels seem TO be getting a good
deal more than they bargained for, in
setting out Ia Don Quixote in search Of
their rights" Witness the following
paragraph from the Chattanooga Rebel.
What is said in the following para
graph by the Richmond Examiner, is TO a
great extent applicable to number Of
places besides the Confederate capital.
Whether this cheap way of excepting up
appearances" increases the chances of
the success of our cause, we have heard
many express doubts, yet such things
are, and free men, who foot the bill, toll
crate them:
The guard has becom a nuisance in
Richmond. An automaton musket hold
er ornaments the entrance of every Gov,
eminent department, and before a civil
ian in plain clothes can pass into the
presence of the august official, he is put
through catechism by the musket as to
his business, with whom he desires an
interview, wonders if ats all right" and
takes down the bayonet, like a fence.rail
barring the passage, saying "Pass in"
as though something very grave was in
Volved in the transaction. At the cross
streets you meet them; you feel some
thing tip your nose and IL is a bayOnet;
at the Office door of the conscript and en-
rolling officer the first thing you greet is
a bayOnet stuck in the hands Of the au-
tomaton musket holder. Every officer Of
the Government, however small he be, IL
he open an office, must have his automa-
ton. Now, all this is humbug, and all
sensible people would like to see it abol-
ished. There is no danger of these peo-
pie, civilians or soldiers either, if adj
mitted without the bayonet ordeal and
catechism, of plunging a stiletto into
the precious person of the ofiiciAl, or
bearing away Government property,
though both are guarded with as much
care as the Sultan Of Turkey or the Ty-
coon of Japan guard their treasures.
But then have not these Southern lead
err always assured us that the genius Of
the chiyalry is decidedly military, and
that the South would like "strong mill

The Louisville Democrat of this NOR

after IL O'clock several guns were heard
somewhere in the vicinity of the city
The alarm was Immediately rung and
the streets swarmed with excited and
curious citizens, all inquiring the cause OF
the firing and the alarms. II appears
that the guns were fred in Jacksonville
and the bells rung there before any alarm
was given here. The cause of The firing
is matter of conjecture-supposed to
be in consequence of the arrival of troops
from indianapolis. 1t was foolish idea
if that was the cause. The military au-
thorities could give no other solution
than the above.
2. Sat 2 A. M. we learned that the
firing was done in consequence of the
arrival of troops at Jacksonville and
New Albany.
A special dispatch to the Democrat

GoV. Andre1O johnson:
have the pleasure to tell you that the
Secretary of War telegrAphs they have
official information of the surrender of
Vicksburg TO Gen, Grant, on the fourth
of July.
Lees army was beaten in battle on the
lst I'd, and Sd Of July.
On the I'd Of July, Bragg left this, his
best stronghold in Middle Tennessee, and
on the 4th the rear of his infantry was
over the Cumberland Mountains.
We may thank God, and congratulate
ourselves, that the ides of July were
suspicious for freedom and for our own
army, that we have accomplished great
work without blOodshed, and were pre-
vented only by the unprecedented rains
from giving the coup de grace to Bragg's
army. w. s. RosEoRASs,

A paragraph in yesterdays UNION,
embodying \ statement respecting Gov.
Aiken of South Carolina, made by Prof.
Mccoy in his address on the 4th inst,
gave the number of his slaves at thirteen
thousand : We suppose that that state
ment was either slip Of the tongue or
of tho pen, and that the actual number
is thirteen hundred; at least this number
agrees with our recollection of a de-
scription of Gov. Aiken's estate which
we read several years ago. This cor
rection does not detrAet in the least from
the noble self-ssoriilcing patriotism Of
the South CarOlinian,
Whose soul is like a star and dwells apart"
in his fallen aAd degraded state since
the sainted spirit of James Pettigrew
fled TO heaven.

Facts ConcernIns Coutraband..


The following facts have been ELECTED
by the Emancipation League Of Boston =
Captain E. W. Hooper, aid-de-camp to
General saxtOn, writes from Beaufort, S.
c., under date Of January 9th, that the
number Of contrabsnds in the Department
Of the South is estimated at about eighteen
thousand. OF these, twelve Thousand are
in South Carolina, and six thousand at
Key West Fernandina and other points in
Florida. At Fortress Monroe and the
neighbOring camps there are some thou
sands Of contrabands, but as that military
department covers several counties of
Virginia, no accurate return Of the mum
bsF can be given. At Old Point Comfort
there are about nine hundred men, women
snd children; at Camp Hamilton and
Hampton there are seventeen hundred and
forty, of whom five hundred and two are
men. 0. Brown reports from Craney Is
land champion Roads, that there are st
that depot thirteen hundred and eighty
one negroes, Of whom only two hundred
are men. Chaplain Sawyer reports that
the number at Helena, Arkansas, is four
thousand, of whom eighteen hundred are
men. D. B. Nichols, Superintendent Of
the COntraband Department, reports that
three thousand three hundred and eighty
one contrabsnds have passed through that
camp within the last six months. Five
hundred remain.

..r,oosipa the North with Negroes.y

'sEIoOdins the North with Negroes"
Emancipate the slaves, and they will
oTerrun the North" has been one of the
party cries Of the Opposition. Its falsity
has been again and again asserted upon the
strength of powerful arguments; but still
the charge is repeated into the ear Of
laborers and farmers. The census shows
facts that indicate directly the contrary.
It shows that in those Northern States
where the negro has had the most freedom
and the most open competition with the
white labOrer, the negro population has
actually decreased, while in Southern
States the number Of free blacks has in
creased. In the thirty years preceding
1860, the free colored population of Mary
land increased sIOO4. In North Carolina,
during the same period, there was an in
crease Of nearly seventy per cent. of free
blacks, and only about twenty-seven per
cent. Of slaves.
In proof Of the other proposition, the
population Of New England, the region
most thoroughly asbOitiOnized," and
where "radicalism has had its fullest
sway, there was a decrease Of over two
thousand cOlOred persons, while the whole
population had increased in the same
time, by nearly million and a quarter.
Surely, if any where, the negro would
eOngregate in the region which afforded
him the largest liberty and the most social
equality, if other considerations were not
stronger, or if he was actuated-by q love
for the North per sc. But it is not SO. BE
prefers a warm climate, and when he is
free the North has no attractions for him.
BE only looks with longing eye to the
North star when in it he secs the land
which grants him liberty and redemption
from bondage. Emancipste him from that
where he is, and he will stay where the
warm sun and not the cold frost viii
strike his dusky skin.

In few weeks the term Of service Of

Those States that accepted volunteers for
nine months as we'll as those who filed
their quotas by drafting, should promptly
and energetically take steps to renew those
quotas, lift should be found necessary
We hope that these nine months men may
see the close Of the war, but, our hopes
have been so often dashed that prophecies
are vain. Some provision must therefore
be made to meet the emergency that may
arise. The people of Rochester, New York,
are doing this in very creditable way
A movement has been instituted for the
purpose of forming an organization of min

in place of those term will expire in May,
