Independence and EmaneSpation.
The first Of January is to the colered
race of the United States what the Fourth
of July is 70 the white rass-the birth
day of Liberty and Independence. The
day was celebrated with great glee by the
eolored people in many portions of the
country. And in future time the lst of
January and the 4th of July will be mem
orable and glorious days of rejoicing TO
the lovers Of liberty in all lands, dividing
the year as they will into two equal parts
by these great jubilees of freedom and
independence.
Who can doubt that the colored people
of the United States, now numbering .
million more than our fathers in the Rev
olution, have as good cause for celehra-
ting the anniversary of emancipation by
virtue of the Proclamation of President
Lincoln, as we have to celebrate the an
niversary Of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence ?

AT Macon, last Tuesday, John B. Ha-
bersham d Co., sold l9l negroes at an
average price of $4,000. OF these sev-
enty -four sold in families of two to six
persons. and man and a woman sold
separately, brought an aggregate of
Sl63. $3.50. The high prices OF negroes
and the readiness of people to inves. in
them. seems to indicate that our people
have little fear Of Abe Lincoln's threats
of our subjugation, the universal emanci-
patton of negroes, and the general con-
fscation of the property of rebels

In country where barrel of -four
costs $50, aud pound Of meat $500 in
current funds, 1900 shouldn't seem very
high for man, although it is rather
more per pound than beef or pork, but a
good beef would be worth more down Ia
Dixie than negro.

The news Of General Grants victory
hss leached Rnglaad. and il made hi
subject Of various comment in the London
journals. The Morning Star calls the
battle "the Waterloo Of the South" and
adds A'*fA tsss 49, tissE =
'It Is very doubtful whether the dis.
comfitted forces Of thst unlucky and un-
popular eomnanler Bragg, eas be ipdsced
to make another stand. An officer who
does not know what to do With victory
when, by chance, he has won it-who
loses by inaction those days and weeks
which his adversary employs in gaining
strength-who is obliged to renounce q
most advantageous position, and yet is
unable to retire from il without incurring
total defeat--an officer whose whole career
seems to have been one rather Of terror
to his own soldiers than to the enemy-is
not the man to retrieve so terrible q dis
aster as that just sustained
The Times styles General Grant ssthe
most active and successful commander
whom the Federals possess, whose pres
ence has turned the fortunes Of the cam
paign," but comforts its secessionist
friends with some explanation Of the cause
Of Bragg's defeat
"If the Southern army has suffered by
the continuance in command of IA ineffi-
cient General. the Confederate govern
meut will have supported its nominee at
very great cost. The Southern soldiers
are described as demoraIized and possess
ed by perfect panic, and. though this
may be only the exaggerated style cur
rent in the country, it may well be con.
ceived that retreat under discredited
General after disastrous battle 10 not
likely to have been conducted with the
good order which allows defeats to be
remedied. But, whatever may be said
of the Confederate commander, or what
ever explanation may be given of the de-
tails OF this battle, We think the true
explanation Of the campaign is 10 be
found in the weakness of the Southern
army. This has been the fatal iisadvan-
tage Of the Confederates all through the
war. and they probably suffer from it now
more than ever"
The Times. however, remarks in addi.
ton to these explanations
ave have little doubt that the main
cause Of the retreat of General Bragg
from the point where lie had done 80
much, and was expected to do more, has
been the belief that a, present he is not
in condition to oppose the powerful
levies which have been placed under the
command of General Grant,
The Morning Herald, the bitter enemy
of our Government, is "not without hope
that the disaster to Bragg may not prove
irretrievable," but adds:
"Friendly ss We are to the Confederate
cause. We are still prepared to look tile
very worst in the face, and that worst
something far beyond anything tha. has
yet befallea."
The Examiner, which has besn strong.
ly secessionist, says that the defeat oi
Bragg is not decisive, but nearer to the
decisive than any reverse of the fortune
OF war that has yet occurred.
