article which appeared last week in

"By common consent It is now adj
mitted that slavery was the FIRST great
cause of the rebellion. Even the ul.
ira pro.slavery men of the North
yielded before this stern fact when
they saw that the Southern conspi-
rators themselves admitted it, But
there is another truth infinitely more
significant. The Federal Govern

If il was race between such men as
Wendell Phillips and Lloyd Garrison

Benjamin and Robert Toombs on the

ing so, why should we not strike
hands and make peace at once on the
basis of the restoration of the Union?

the author of the war, and both as
cordially agree that slavery must be
abolished. Lut us, then, have peace

Al order from the War Depart

sand men, to be commanded by Gen.
Hancock, all the officers and privates
OF which are to be veterans not liable

There is report that Sherman S
forces had surrounded Millen, Ca,
whittier the Union prisoners had been
removed from other more exposed
points, and had liberated about two
thirds of all who had boen sent to
Georgia, the other third having been
removed to other places. We trust
the glad event has occurred, though
further confirmation would he agreea-
bic. Millen lies in Burke county, Ga.
on the line of the Central Railroad,
ut which point the Augusta &c Waynes.
boro Railroad diverges, Is miles
south of Augusta and Ill miles east
of Macon. The captured Ex- Gen-
eral Roger Pryor was apparently quite
communicative on his arrival at
Washington and mentioned rumor
that Sherman had released the prison
crs as above stated, though he said it
needed confirmation. He also admit
ted that Macon and Milledgeville had
been captured, and expressed the
opinion that the Richmond papers
would give little mole news from
Sherman for the reason that they did
not want to supply Northern people
with Information respecting his move
ments.
Sorghum molasses is selling in
Yorkvillc, South Carolina, at three
dollars per gallon. In Charlotte,
North Carolina, it is selling for ten
dollars per gallon. In Richmond, it
is selling at thirty dollars per gallon.
The poor of the city are already
suffering great distress from lack of
fuel, and the prospect for the Winter
is most dreary. We are glad to learn
that, tomorrow, collection will be
taken up in all the churches to pur-
chase fuel for the poor.
Judge Wright; Of Georgia, former

POOR PAY.

The soldier in the rebel army gets
rather trifling pay for the hard work
he is compelled to perform. 1t takes
about thirty dollars Of their currency
to buy one dollar in gold. A private
would therefore receive, at thirteen
dollars a month, the value of thirty
nine cents, and for years service,
four dollars and sixty eight cents,
just about enought TO buy pound OF
beef or a quart of beans, in Rich-
mond. Can they stand this arrange
ment four years longer2 Rather
doubtful.

"Abolition," the bowling term Will
which democrats have frightened theil
children to bed, and with submission
for quarter of a century! Wha,
is the use of being afraid OF it now
when rebels propose to go into the
measure to achieve Independence -
They will abolish slavery rather than
yield. To dissolve the Union they
will consent to abolition. Cannot
all Northern men, rs the negro is to
go free by one or the other parties To
the strife, be rcconciled to his free.
dom in restored government, rath.
er than to his freedom dismembered
Union? Cannot Northern Democrats
go abolition for their country when
when slavites, their former political
yoke fellows go for it to destroy the
government. Will they still hang to
slavery, to benefit their party, when
assured that the shareholders care
more for independence, which now
means escape from the halter, than
they do for either the copperhead
fraternity, now badly "out in the
wet" or their slaves either. They
are nearing the last gasp with their
slave confederacy. Will you prolong
their gasping, still blindly striking
for what you have undone yourselves,
politically, in trying to win for them,
or will you let them go on with their
dying as fast as possible, that II new
and better superstructure may rise
upon the old solid foundation of
Union and Liberty?
Candid Democrats, you can damn
your selves deeper, you cannot beat
back the tide Aowing strong and deep
or freedom TO all men.
