THE FREED NEGROES AND THE PLANTA-
TIoNs.-It is reported that Adjutant Gen
eral THOMAS has fifty one thousand negro
women and children under his care in the
Southwest. They will be placed on abandon
ed charlottesville women under wages, the
children too, but at the lghtest work-the
lessees Of the plantations being bound to the
justest care of both. He is leasing the sugar
and cotton estates in Mississippi and louisa
ma rapidly, and not for stipulated rent, but
for a royalty on the produce-S4 a bale for
cotton of four hundred pounds, one cent
pound for sugar, and five cents bushel for
corn and potatoes. This rent goes into the
National Treasury. The farms pay besides,
the direct revenue tax. Gen. THOMAS report
is said to justify his method of leasing the
plantations as he found them, with their GIN
houses, boiling-house, engines, tools, mules
and all, as one of necessity. There was no
time to subdivide them, nor to erect new
dwellings for subdivided tenancy.
The General will return to his work almost
Immediately, going to GRANTS army, where
he expects to organize ten regiments of ne
groes Thence to New Orleans; thence to
Texas; thence to Pensacola, organizing and
arming the slaves everywhere, and examining
rigidIv the white officers who apply to COM
mand them.

The Southern Wisconsin RailrGad---Letter
from Hon. J. q. R0untree---St0sk Books
TO be 0pened at Piatteyille.

from E5n. j. Il. kGunfree---SfGck Books
to be Opened at Piatteyille. ~
Hon. J. II. RoUNTREE writes that the late
Railroad survey made from Platteyille down
the valley of the Rountres branch to its june
ton with the little Platte, and then down the
valley of that river TO its mouth, then down
the bank of the Mississippi river to point
opposite. dubuque, has demonstrated the fact
thar the route is a remarkably favorable one.
He continues as follows:
The route from Platteville to Calamine on
the Mineral Point Railroad, was surveyed and
plated and estimated about three years ago,
by a competent engineer, and his report on
that route was most favorable making this
whole line from Calamine via PIatteyille to
opposite the city of Dubuque very direct, fol-
lowing from Calamine west of the valley of
the Boner Branch to its head, say two miles
south of the Platte mounds, then and there
crossing the summit, the dividing ridge be-
tween the waters of the Platte and the Peca-
tonica. At low place in the ridge entering
one of the valleys Of the Rountree branch
near its head, and following the valley of that
branch, which is one of the branches of the
Platte to PlatteviIle, and continuing across
Dunleith.
That portion of the railroad line between
Monroe, the present terminus of the South
ern Branch of the Milwaukee and Prairie du
Chen Railroad and the Mineral Point Rail-
road in the valley of the Pecatonica, am in
formed has been surveyed ana found practi-
cable.
One of the most prominent advantages
that this railroad route presents, is its easy
grade, cheapness of construction, and the
unsurpassed fertility of country through
which it passes From the point where the
line running west from Monroe enters the
valley of the Pecatonica River to where the
line strikes the Mississippi River, it does not
cross valley at all, and only crosses one
ridge, which is less than one mile wide and a
comparative light cut, on only portion of
that, then follows the valley of the Platte
about "a miles, occupying all that distance to
overcome the descent from the high lands to
the Father of Waters, making the grade re-
markably easy, and the country over which
it passed, we'll adapted to the construction Of
Railroad
Books for the subscription of stock in the
road were to be opened at Platteville on Sat-
urday last.

Bad Policy.

1t is stated that the southern part of Indi-
ana is so overrun with thieves, burglars, and
vagabonds of all descriptions that the people
seriously contemplate organizing vigilance
committees after the manner of California, to
suppress evils which the ordinary civil au-
thorities seem incompetent to grapple with.
This deplorable condition of things is at
tributed to the release, upon taking an oath
of allegiance, of large numbers of rebel pris-
oners The soldiers of fortune, the men
without home or principle, in the rebel army
and those who are regardless of the obliga-
ton of an oath are of course the first to take
advantage of such an opportunity.
There are doubtless many men in the rebel
service who have been forced in contrary to
their inclination. These, if they could be
discovered, might be released with safety.
But it is impossible to discriminate. And as
a general rule it is unwise to trust the oath
or the pledge of man found fighting against
his country AS we'll release the inmates of the
penitentiary upon obtaining their promise
to lead better life. They only laugh at the
simplicity which confdes in them.

But he won the race.
Spite OF his many successes,
Men love- him the same
My one pale ray of good fortune
Met scofing and blame;
When we erred, they gave him pity,
But me-only shame.
Ny home was still in the shadow,
His lay in the sun.
l long'd in vain; what he ask'd for
1t straightway was done.
Once l staked all my hearts treasures;
We play 'd-and he won.
Yes and just now have seen him,
Cold, smiling, and best,
Laid in his coffin. God help me
While he is at rest,
l am cursed still to live even
Death loved him the best.

came to the rescue of the Chesapeake pirates.
They were British subjects. So, at least, the
Providence Journal authoritatively states.
