Late arrivals confirm the report of the return of
Sherman's expedition to Vicksburg. His cavalry
penetrated So miles beyond Meridian. About 5000
negroes, all men, followed the army on its return,
women and children not being allowed to accompsn

siderable skirmishing occurred, but it is said that not
more than l 900 rebels were seen at any one place.
The Federal loss in killed, wounded and prisoners is
estimated at 500.
A Union soldier recently escaped from Goldsboro
reports a great riot at Raleigh, occasioned by the
hanging of native Union soldiers. Pnckett's troops
from Kinston passed through Goldsboro to quell the
outbreak in the city, where the stars and stripes was
conspicuously displayed. The press was not allowed
to speak of the matter. The Raleigh Standard was
suppressed soon after this affair.

natl. as we'll IS Washington, ia threatened by it.

All Arkansas Planters Opinion OF
The Negro Question.

4 piahter who came to little Rock,
Ark, to get arms for Union Home
Guards on White river, gave his ideas
of the great question of the day as FOL-
lows.
"The niger business is done up, and
there's no use talking about it. 1t don't
make no odds how good Union man
one may be; he'll lose his niggers. Ever
since the war commenced Old Abe has
been turning the screws down on US
first little turn, and then another; we
don't scarcely feel it, but he keeps turn
ing of his screws, and now its got to be
dogon tight Over thar in Missouri, the
Union men thought they was going tf
come out all right, but the screws have
come down on EN- so snug they had tt

AMOnstrOus Proposition.

Under this heading the Raleigh On
CO. Progress, rebel paper, denounces
in language as hard as cannon balls the
proposition to make JEFF. Davis Dictator
of the Confederacy. 1t shows that the
elements of trouble among the rebels
are widespread and lie deep, but are
coming to the surface gradually. Itsays:
'SThe beauties of secession, but dimly
seen at first, are becoming more and
more vivid as the revolution advances.
and, from present indications, it will not
be long before he who runs may read.
The communications of officers of the
Army of the Tennessee, read in the
House of Representatives on Tues
day, shows that there is an
alarming state of decentralization
and dlsafection in that quarter. If
there IS to be a dictator, Mr.. Foote
wants Gen. Lee. We have as much con-
idence In and respect for Gen. Lee as
any man living, but we tell Mr.. Foote
that the people of North Carolina. who
set out to fight for freedom and liberty,
will not submit to dictator in the per.
son OF any living man while the power is
left to resist"
The Raleigh IN. CO. Standard saws
that the people IN the extreme western
counties of North Carolina have been
deprived of all mail facilities, on the
ground of disloyalty to the Confederate
Government.

From the indianapolis Journal
Negro Troops and Negro Education.

As our Democratic friends of the bred
Scott persuasion have come to the con-
,clusion that negroes " hare rights which
ought to be respected about the time a
draft comes round, they may read with
some patience little news in regard to
the condition and character of the ne
gro troops at Port Hudson, and the feel
ings with which they are regarded by the
white soldiers. A correspondent of the
New York Times at that place, says that
there are no less than nine hundred ap-
plications from white soldiers for ap-
pointments in Col Clarks negro regi-
ment on file in the Colonels office, and
some of the applicants are " old Demo
Gratis, who have "seen eye to eye" and
learned that negro will fight, and that
he ought to fight to achieve his own free
dom instead of leaving all the peril,
suffering and labor to the whites. This
is hopeful indication OF the negroes
themselves he says they are not only will
ing but eager to learn, and in nearly every
regiment of the thirty at Port Hudson
there is school in full operation, with
an extra staff officer with the rank of
Lieutenant as instructor, and the men
are learning fast. In the 7th Regiment
nearly all the men and all the non-com-
missioned officers are reading, and some
are writing; and this, too, after an effort
of only three weeks. The negroes have
been dashed and lacerated, crushed and
ground so long, and deprived of books
and all other means of improvement,
that now, when a book and teacher are
offered, they take to the work with a
right good will 1t is intended by Gen.
Andrews that by Spring every colored
soldier in the corps shall know how to read,
and every non-commissioned officer how
to write. There could be no better means
than this for the elevation of the celored
soldier to be not only better soldier,
but better man. With the education OF
the liberated slaves will come double
assurance that they never can be made
slaves again. If the Government de-
sired to take bond of fate" and bird
the very powers of nature to its aid, it
could do nothing SO directly to that end
as learning every slave that it can lay
hold of to read and write. We believe
We can see more fatal sap" running
under the institution" from these ne
gro school-houses than from their regi-
mental barracks. If we should educate
every negro soldier, the rebellion could
never succeed, even if it established the
independence of the ConfederacJ.

The EVANSVILLE BURGLARY Gin
cinnati Commercial of Saturday. says:
We understand that James Hamilton,
of whose arrest charged with having
stolen articles of jewelry from store in

arrived here yesterday and identified the
articles found on Hamilton's person as
beng his property. Another arrest was
made last night by Detectives Gus. Col
cher and Samuel Raylies, of a man
named W. M. Sommers, who is charged
WI WITH having taken part in this affair.
The detectives arrested Sommers on
george street, near Central Avenue, and
found IN his possession watch and sum
dry articles of jewelry, supposed to have
been stolen from the jewelry store at

ments. he has nothing to do with alb
rorating old State Governments 1hey
were not abrogated at all-they ran
awav Thus all the talk of the Seventh
District Democrats about abroganng
State Governments, usurpation, violating
the Constitution, dishonest followers of
the army, negro equality, and all that, is
mere fudge. -s1
But wha. kind of patriotism is that
which is forever finding fault with the
Government in its efforts to crush the
rebellion. and never has a condemnatory
word for the rebels in their efforts to
overthrow the Government? What do
Democrats mean when they talk about
Compromising the differences between
the North and South?' The rebel au-
tborities assert that no compromise is
worthy moments consideration save
immediate separation between the two
sections. Yet Democrats continue tc
talk about compromise. Are we to con
clude that they favor the only compro
mise acceptable to the rebels? No othe
= conclusion is reasonable. And when W
i see District Conventions backing the pas
sage of such resolutions as we hav

feat of the Government and the trump
