Appropriate use of Rebel Lands.

The ''broad acres" of Gen. Robt. Z. Lee, the
Lieut.. General In the Rebel service with his
family mansion, are situated on the Virginia
side of the Potomac, in the vicinity Of Wash
ington. He is Gghting for the perpetual en-
slavement Of the black man, aud in view of
this fact, says the Washington Republican of
a lata date, happy thought occurred to the
Secretary of War, which it gives us pleasure
to record. nn
First. He ordered Col. GREENE to organ
ize the Freedmen's Village, for the protection
Of the black man and his family, upon the Ar
lington estate, belonging to the rebel General
Lee. That village is success.
Second. He has himself recently selected
site. upon the same estate, for a national GEM
etery, for the burial Of loyal soldiers who die
in Virginia from wounds inflicted by Lees Or

Gen. MEiGs has been directed to supervise
the laying out ofthe grounds.

We are now Regiment OF mounted Caval-

They are old cavalry horses, which makes it
lar easier for us. Wednesday we went on an
excursion towards Petersburg. riding about
twenty-five miles; rather hard jaunt for the
first one. We thought We were going TO have
some fun with the rebs, but on arriving near
where the battle was then going on, we turn
ed around and came back to our old camp
ground.
The next day, Thursday, we went out to
the Richmond and Petersburg Railroad, and
assisted the Infantry in tearing up the track.
The enemy evacuated their works in our front
night before last---which are rather shammy-
but took possession OF them again last night.
To-day there Is q battle going on at or near
Petersburg, but you will know the result as
soon as myself. Although am ia the midst

much concerning them as you do. Our only

The Worlds dispatch says our forces now
permanently hold the Petersburg IL Weldon
railroad south. This was accomplished by
the 9th corps driving Hills corps back several
miles. OLher important movements are in
progress. sEF
The Worlds dispatch says of Wednesdays
fight The whole OF Pierce's brigade and
part of aaother were captured.
The Times dispatch OF the oath says 1t has
been learned this morning that Longstreets
and Hills corps are moving towards Weldon.
Beauregards main army now covers Peters
burg, while Lees forces are moving to our
right.
A rebel doctor says our Smelling of Peters
burg is very disastrous. The rebels are march
ing and counter-marching to guard against
our attacks.
The Tribune's army dispatch, dated Satur-
day, says the rebels attacked Badly Smiths
position on Friday. Some 400 rebels were al
lowed to rush into our rifle pits when a de-
structive fire was opened on them, and they
soon surrendered. Only l65 were unhurt, the
remainder being killed or mortally wounded.
At o'clock yesterday morning the rebels
charged upon the 1st division of the 18th
corps, anu were defeated with great loss. Our
batteries opened at good range on the charg-
ing parties. About 400 OF the charging party
deserted and came into our lines during the
action.

mands, left White House yesterday.

The De,oocratic Parity and Slavery.

4AO 004ihoS1oeiS ! al " oAA1 S~~'SAy
A correspondent has called our attention 10
the fact that when the vote was taken In the
House of Representatives ON the resolution
preliminary to a change of the Constitution,
abolishing aud forever inhibiiing slavery
every Democrat, with the exception Of three
voted against the proposed amendment, "lhu,
tsting the position that the Democratic party
as a party, is in favor of the perpetuation o
slavery" Our correspondent adds:
Four years since every Democratic membe,
in Congress voted in fdror Of the same
amendment that noto the Democratic delega
ton have voted against and defeated. ~
This is mistake. The Democratic party
has seen the time that ii occupied anti-slavery
ground. 1t did so in this State when, in
1919, in the largest delegate convention tina,
up to that time had ever assembled in the
State, it passed an unmistakable anti-slavery
and non-extension of slavery resolution-a
resolution in favor Of Congressional proven
ton of the spread of slavery-with only one
dissenting vote, the solitary vote Of Mr.. Bon
Bradbury, OF Eastport. But never within
four years, or double that time, has the Demo.
cratic party occupied position that, by any
possibility could be construed into one OF
hostility to slavery. opposition to its extension,
or even lack Of sympathy for itas an element
of political power.
Four years ago-in is60-when Mr.. Blu
chauan was get in Office, resolution passed
by the necessary two-ihirds vote, providing
for an amendment OF the Constitution in Iaror
Of slarery. That proposed amendment was
designed to secure the eternal perpetuation
of slavery In the states against any possible
adverse interference ON the part of the federal
government, and to give such a new "guaran-
tee" to slavery every Democrat voted. Even
Mr.. Lincoln expressed his willingness, In
order to satisfy the South. to put such a
provision into the fundamental law, as peace
measure-to prevent the hostile attitude which
the South was then assuming. The last day
OF the session OF the Legislature OF 1861, Mr..
Bradbury, Of Eastport, offered resolution to
approve that prepared amendment, and he
and Mr.. Gould, or Thomsston, advocated Its
adoption, but It was indefinitely postponed by
an overwhelming vote, five Democrats only
ia the house degrading themselves by voting
for it.
