Slavery CoMxIrrfNs SUICIDE. - The
proposition Of JEFF. Davis, TO give freedom TO
the slaves on condition that they will fight
for the rebels, 10 one Of the most notable
events Of the rebellion. First, Il IL COM
plete Justification Of the emancipation policy
Of President Lincoln, because IL hls confess
sion that slaves may be used no, only as lab
orers, to produce food and build forts for the
rebels, but as soldiers TO fight for them
Next, IL disposes of tho pro-'lAvery argu"
ments that slavery is a divine irstitution, and
blessed thing for the slavea Rebellion
thinks of Tying in the face 4 Providence,
aud multiplying the curse Of Ham; yea, II is
ready to repudiate all that it las ever uttered
concerning the blissful state \ men and wo-
men in bends, and proclaim Liberty as the
exceeding great reward. with fighting for
unto death Th-t. too, is full and perfect
Justification of abollionisn, the logic Of it
being that Liberty is woth having, even
though it can be got at the point Of the bay
onet only. We commend this matter to the
thoughtful consideration 4 the copperheads.
They may see that even Jsa. Davis thinks free
negroes may be good fo something on their
aide. Why not on the 'ight aide AS well }
By the way, we observe that two Of the Rich
mond newspapers conrue Jeff. as we do ;
bat, as we do not, they protest sgains, his
project, II" says ne Wing, the slave
must fight, he should fsht for the blessings
he enjoys as a slave, and not for the miseries
tina, would attend bin II freed" And the
Examiner says " THIS is an absurditY for
we hold that the negr as slave Is in a bet
ter condition than in state Of freedom
Emancipation, thereto. is a punishment, not
reward" True it's that such have been
the teachings Of th siavocrats ; but JEFF.
Davis knows that al that was false, and be
evidently believes IAt the slaves know it
quite as we'll as he oes.

GEN. BURNSIDE
With 10000 men, gone to meet
Sherman.
New YORK, Nov. 80.

NEW YORK, Nov. 80.
Gen. Burnside was taken from Fortress
Monroe with 10000 men to NEE Gen. Sher-
man.
The Herald's Army of the Potomac cor
res pondent If the 28th, says /: More firing
than usual was INDUCED in to-day. In the
evening the rebels fred from the advanced
point of their new line, just beyond the IA
nous Bermuda Hundred town. Our gum
boats replied and the affair was terminated.
On the morning Of the 2sIh the firing was
quite brisk, musketry participating, but no
btttle ensued.
Rebel deserters report that the rebel Gen.
Ewells corps mas gone South. Throughout
all the 26sh the rebel firing on Dutch Gap
canal was uncommonly heavy ana p resistant.
We received no damage. For an hour in the
afternoon they delivered severe fire upon
Fort Brady. No damage was done her. By
the steamer Fort Morgan we have late ad-
vices from the Cult. Five of our gunboats
lay in Mobile Bay, only three miles from the
city. The rebels have important works a
little below tho city at Dog River Bar.
The Times Washington dispatch says
Hoods movement in Tennessee seems to re-
East Tennessee. The line on which he is
moving would indicate an attempt to turn
Nashville on the east and make his way to
Join Breckenridge 1t is believed he will
men assay to capture Knoxville, which will
give him railway communication with Lynch
burg and Richmond.
The successful issue OF Sherman's move
will have severed communication between the
two main rebel armies, and Hoods present
campaign seems to be directed towards secur-
ing such communication by the line meAtion-
ed. Hoods army in this case would be in a
position to Join Lee should this move be-
come advisable.
Among the significant articles in the rebel
news papers, lie one in the Richmond Wing
of the 10Th. urging the little real importance
to the coniederacy OF Richmond. This il
evidently put forth to check the shock which
its fall will produce. Wood is 500 per cord
in Richmond and many families are without
fuel.
A letter from Morgapzia, La, dated noon
18th. says : The report that this garrison
was captured by the rebel Gen. Buckner, Il
a wicked and malicious falsehood. No at
tack has been made on that place. Nothing
would please this garrison better than an as
tack by the rebels. Our officers aud mel
are in excellent health.
The New York Herald says at the cap tur
4 New Greek Station at Piedmont by Ia
ebels, immense quantities Of public store

lLLIsoIs.--One T the most gratifying re-
cults Of the late elction, is the complete tri-

man. We observe that Gov. Yates is gem
ealy indicated, both in illinois and out Of
l., as the man most likely to succeed Rich
a,dson la the Senate. 1t will be gratifyi ing

subject We have seen. Mr.. Barrett has per-
formed his tack well, the President is emf

November proves, and this interesting vol

the confidence and homage OF the nation. Il,

IL is we'll established fact that no pre-

Cough Bals1m. Although not known in the
Western States until the fall Of 1868, over
10000 bottles Of IL were sold and used by
the people; it's immense popularity being the
result Of its undoubted merit. The propri-
etors, Messrs. c. @. CLARK & Co.. Of New

of the Eastern Drug Houses, have offered to
any man who would produce an article that
would cure any Lung and Throat affections
as quick as Goes Cough Bslsam. reward OF

the offer has been made public over two years.
The bottle compares favorably in size with
any OF the e5 cent preparations, and its
strength is second to none. making It not only
the best, but the cheapest remedy in the
world. We have the united testimony Of
