Emancipation.
TFros the Catholic Telegraph ]


Thousands and hundreds of thousands of
slaves have been emancipated by the march
Of our armies or their abandonment BY
their masters, but We do not hear that white
labor has suffered anything in consequence.
On the contrary wherever we direct our at
tentloR, we discover greater demand for
the labor OF the white man than we ever
knew before. This condition of things will
continue, and as the slave mart disappears
a constant improvement in the position of
the white labsrer will be universally recog-
nized.
We regret that there 50 many attached to
the slave system, that they can throw OBJ
stacles in the way of emancipation. All
the arguments We have heard CT for ths
preservation Of slavery are not only selfish,
but hostile to the white men, uhs has TO
earn his bread by hi. hands In the border
States, particularly, when slavery has helped
to make the people poor, there is an attach
ment to the institution which j. not found
in States further South, where there is
more wealth and more genuine indepen-
dence. To exclude the poor white man as-
pears to be the height ef craftsmanship in
those States, on the ridiculous ground that
the labor of the negro is necessity; but
every one knows that such is net the reason.

rather than come down little from these

not dishonorable, and poverty no disgrace.
This is the true spirit Of slavery at present.

sion Of slavery? The bold stand taken by
those who had military command in Mary
land aided by patriotic citizens, who had
wit enough to see that tho white lsborer
must conquer. have emancipated that State
from its thraldom.

GEN. RosEcRANs.-G n. CARTE d
member from Ohio, made very spirited
and effective speech in the House oil
Wednesday in defense and praise of hi
late commander. He said -
"The thanks of Congress have become
q cheap thing. The time was when th'
thanks of Congress were bestowed only
for great deeds, and then in the most sol
emn manner. But thanks are now giyer
not only to chiefs, but to subordinates
and no one inquired whether in thanking
one man somebody else was not robbed
He bad been SO willing to thank any
man, that he had not seen fit to interpose
any objection. Now, however, when il
came SO close to hs own history, he
could not permit such resolution to 60
through without protest. He appealed
to the House not to do an injustice by
singing out a subordinate in battle (Gen.
Thomas) and give to him the thanks of
Congress, without saying word about
the principal, not only in the battle of
Chcamauga, but in a series OF important
campaigns. Some one had said that
Congress bad already voted thanks TO
Gen. Rosecrans, but that was last year,
for bis conduct at Murfreesboro. He
was ready TO meet with denial any man
who might say that General Rosecrans
was not entitled to thanks for his con-
1uct at Chicamauga. 1t had been the
custom of the press to treat the battle as
a defeat. If that was a defeat we might

continued to suffer such defeats the rebel

The State, by her prompt and en-
ergetic action, aided by the re-en
listment of her patriotic soldiers in
the field, has gained a credit of two
thousand and twenty-five men over
all calls made to the present time.
This will be increased by the re-
enlistment of the troops from this
State in the Department Of the Gulf
tho Muster In Rolls of which
have not yet been received the
number, probably, Of five hundred
men.
But, as the construction given byI
the Provost Marshal General to the
recent call Of the President for
100000 volunteers yields no men to
the Government, and shows, that the
purpose of the call was only to i
equalize States, another call may ]
soon be expected, and probably for e
100000 men.
This is stated distinctly by the ii
Provost Marshal General, in his tel Sc
egram of February 18th, recently al
published in q circular from this ii
Office, in which he says,-'Another W
call may, however, be made at any u
moment, and it would be exceeding {
ly unwise in any locality to cease its
efforts to raise volunteers, especially y
while government bounties last = =
and again, in his telegram of Feb
ruary 18th, published in the same
Circular in which he says,-'All u
towns should raise men to meet an
additional call, which may be made !,
at any moment
If the State of Vermont shall !,
complete the raising of the Seven. c
teenth Regiment, for which about 9
four hundred men are now required, Il
and which will add, when completed. b
not less than eight hundred and o
thirty men to its surplus, the surplus
of the State will thereby be made to
equal her quota under another call .
for 100000 men, and, when such .
call is made, no additional men will Il
be required, and the State will be f
exempt from draft for probably "
another year. Il
The additional number of men a
required to accomplish this result is h
so small, and the advantages to be
thereby gained are so important, :;
that it is to be hoped, that the first .,
of March will find that regiment N
filled, and the State in a position,
where its quota under another call T
will be fully answered by its surplus oil
thus obtained. d,
