A CORRECTIO

The Courier of last week, says that
the Union party is making the way
plain Tor Amalgamation, and cites as
proof that we intend to become al
vocates of that idea, the successive
steps the country has taken in the
anti slavery direction. The Couriey
is wrong in charging slavery
progress upon the Wing, Republican
or Union parties. BY examining its
files from lS4S to 1852, it will find
that Mt that time it was farther into
the Inire of Abolitionism than the Re.
publican party of 1860. 1t will find
that the Democratic party of Ohio
resolved and resolved that "Slave
ry was an unmitigatcd evil, and that
it was in for mitigating, and finally
eradicating it," AS late as 1860 it
will find the Northern Democra
splitting off from the South Oh a slave
ny issue.
The Union party is now anti slave
ry, and why? Because slavery us.
saulted the Government, and the
Government can only be maintained
by destroying it. The Democracy
are ro'slaverv, and why? Because
they are willing to eat any amount
of dirt to atone foi the rebellion at
Charleston, and to again secure the
position they lost, as undcrstrappers
to their Souther owners.
With this record it i'll becomes them
to howl Abolitionism.

Bureau Of Immigration,

Mr.. Sherman has presented bill

couragement of immigration is mat
ter well worthy of the systematic at
tcntion of the Government. Hither-
to immigration has been suffered to
take care of itself. But if the plan
proposed by Mr. Shcrman's bill be-
comes law, its details will be of the

grafton of a better class of people,

prise, and therefore better adapted to

try.
We trust that the bill, rs submit

The bill appoints a Commissioner

NEWS.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-It is known
here that Gen. Sherman was back at
Vicksburg in time to start on new
expedition on the oath, as it was con-
templated he should. He will, howev-
er soon be heard from again in active
operations.
1t is not believed here in military
circles that Admiral Farragut inten.
ded to accomplish anything more at
Mobile than to make q demonstration
to draw the attention of the rebels
from other points of operation.
WASHINGTON, March At is as

destruction ofthe telegraph and track
of the Virginia Central railroad, was
announced in Richmond by Gen. Lee
Immediately after the occurrence, ov
er the telegraph lines between Rich
mond, Lynchburg and Gordonsville.
This seems highly probable, from
the fact that the expedition passed
through Lees pickets and beyond

by formidable force of mounted in

The Republican of this evening

communications of Gen Lee with

the Virginia Central Railroads at va

and mills on the James river. He
burned much other property belong
ing to the rebels, inficting Il severe
blow on the rebellion. He was met
by the enemy outside the defenses at

VIII the Free Negro Take Care of Him

Self.
The pro-slavery world have uni
vcrsally insisted that the negro is IN
capable of selfgovernment, or even
self support, and ms proof of the cor
rectnoss of this assertion, they cite
the results of the emancipation of the
negroes OF the British West Indies.
There has probably been more whole
sale, bare-faced lying done on this
subject by American pro slavery wri-
tcrs than on any other subject on
which they have used their pens -
They have invariably compared the
products of the Islands the gear be-
fire, with the products gear ate,
emancipation, and on exhibiting a
defcicncy,they triumphantly exclaim,
"The negro cannot and will not work,
save under compulsion. They do
not ask their hearers to take into ac-
count the fact that time was necessa.
ry to transform the slave into free
man; that the negro found himself
free, but with nothing to make his
freedom available; that the social con
dition OF the Island was changed, and
that time was essential TO rcorganize.
Look at the final result.
TIE true merits of the question will
appear by the following statistics of
tho British West India Islands, at
the moment Immediately preceding
emancipation and fourteen years after
emancipation. We must here call at
tention to the fact that the population
OF the islands was rapidly declining
previ0ns TO emancipation.

gPess have Famed, signed and pub
llshed an address in which are som,
things deserving rpecial notice. Thi

They fight for independence, but if
they fail in that then say "lt is better

they, for there Is a Government based
on what they call "the proper rela-

"MISCGNEGENATION

they are "Miscegcnationists," which
is the same thing. A remarkable
