WHAT SLAVERY MEANs.-The editor of the
Grass Valley Union, who spent great portion
of his life in the South tells the readers of that
journal what slavery means:
1t means that men, to minister to their lusts
and avarice, breed slaves, white-skinned, tender
women slaves, the children OF their own loins.
abuse and sell them as cattle in the pen, in towns
and cities where the spires of supposed to be
Christian Churches pierce the blue vault of Heav-
en- to call down God vengeance such acts, MS
lightning rods on their points attract the electri
city. Do the women and men raised in glorious
New England, who never slave as slave
IN their lives, understand the Nervousness of that
monstrous institution which they support by
their approval? Are they aware that it was
common before the rebellion put stop to it, as
it was to a notice of cattle sale, to sec add
yertisements in all the Southern papers, of girls
white girls-educated and beautiful,-to be
sold on the block to the highest bidder for cash
as n slave, thing for the lechcrous to and
abuse, and then sell to another. The offspring
of such girls. with Il faint of colorcd blood
in their veins, are sold and used and abused for
endless generations. as long as there wrctches
to swear that the faint of the slave runs in their
veins.
Is it any wonder that the upholders of such
an abominahle system have introduced pro-
slavery Bible? The book that Christ is preached
fl ON can never be reconciled to such wickedness
Is it any wonder, that with a just God ruling in
Heaven, that our nation is purged with fire and
sword, because of the peoples sins in loving,
in tolerating such system? Do women, who
talk harshly of the miserable negro, conceive
the license that must prevail in society when
outraged colored girl, though whittier than her
master, can obtain no redress by law?
The columns of public newspaper admit not
the description of scenes we have been eye-wit-
ness to i'll the :. Sunny SOUTH where, had we
raised our voice against Them should have
been tarred ana feathered, or perhaps hung as
an abolitonst. Is an institution such as this re-
conclabe with Christianity, with decency, or
with safety to the peace of the country? In the
words of Cowper-
would not have a slave To till my ground,
To carry to fan " lille sleep

THEIR IIoPE GoSE.-Writns from Richmond.
October 9th, when Sherman was at Atlanta, the
correspondent of the London Times said the on
ly hope of Lee was that sherman and his army
would be crushed out in Georgia. "If, con-
tinues the correspondent, Sherman is able to
extricate himself from his present critical posi-
ton, by either beating or outwtting Hood, there
will be reason for apprehension about Richmond
during the coming winter. the like of which has
never existed before sherman has not only
extricated himself, but he controls Georgia
Hoods army has been destroyed every hope
and calculation of the rebels have failed and
there is now doubtless much apprehension and
wailing and crashing Of teeth in Richmond,
q the like of which has never existed before. -

subjects there shall be property, and all its local

SUPPORT OF PARTY JOURNALs.-The Amador

proof of appreciation than has yet been bestow-

class is the success of the Union cause so largely

And, while the course of apublc journal is sub
eced to the severest scrutiny during the progress
of n campaign, and every dehection-whether
right or wrong-from the path marked out by
the public mind, is sure to call down upon it the
heaviest censures of partisans, the conductors
of those journals rarely reap any of the fruits
of victory, however hardly won. The people

\ RAFT IN MID-OcEAN.-A correspondent Of
the n. Y. Erening Post, from = on board H. B
NJ. Steamer Smordfsh, inside Sandy Hook, Nov
H. pens the following singular narrative:
O This vessel cast anchor here two hours since
after a passage of twenty days from the Cape o.
Good Hope. On Friday morning, the 9th inst.
latitude 800 north longitude Geo west. the look
out on the fOretop deserted a strange looking OBJ
ject on the lee bow, which nearing, proved
to be raft, with number of people it.
SO singular circumstance threw the ship into
great excitement. The Captain ordered a boat
launched Immediately, supposing the people to
have escaped from n foundercd vessel, andso.
course desired to be picked up. BY this time
we were within hailing distance, and the steamer
nearly stationary. A jury-mast was rugged on
the raft, and they ran up flag and cheered lus-
tlly. Our Captain never swears in English, but
he is addicted to a sort of Persian oath. 81 BY
the great OK, he cried - what does this mean p
There were about twenty-five men on the raft,
and they were in very jolly humor. Seeing the
boat lowered, one of the party shouted, send
us some whisky. We don't want to be picked
up The Captain couldn stand that. - Where
are You going, and where you from ~ he
shouted. None of your business; send us
some whisky, and we'll give you dispatch to
take into port The raft was now close under
the lee of the ship, a rope thrown out to it,
which they held on to while a barrel of whisky
was slung of. As soon as they got it SAFE they
let 60 the rope, to which they had tied their
dispatch. On opening it there appeared list of
passengers, which the clerk read aloud. The
first name was James Guthrie. q BY thunder, y
cried the Captain, that's the Chicago plat
form = cheer and yell went up from the
raft as the sail was spread again to the wind
The clerk went on reading the names. The list
follows James Guthrie, George H.
Pendleton, Horatio Seymour, Fernando Wood.
c. L. Fallandigham S. s Cox, and nineteen
others.
When last seen the raft was making south
east, apparently on a Decline for the coast of
Africa.

RAFFLEs AT FAIRs.-Thc morals of
goodlv New York have been taking an air
ing lately, says New York correspond
ent: "Quite teapot tempest has been
raised here, of late, touching the matter of
allowing ratties to form portion of the
machinery OF the mammoth Fair, which is
shortly to take place for the benefit of the
Sanitary Commission. a number of Rev
erend danes have walked up to the enor-
nifty of doing evil that good may come,
and have published card in which they
protest against the rattle, thus: i. We
protest againstit because it is, in our con-
viction, contrary to the law OF God. =.
We protest against it because it is abSo-
lutcly contrary to the law Of the State,

Christian States condemns, as immoral, all
resort to the lot, or chance, for disposinS
of articles not otherwise considered Salea-
blc.' Commenting on this, the Herald, i'll
a scathing article, says that the protesters
show their ignorance of the word of God

hibited;' also, that the law Of the State
cannot be construed rs to reach the present
instance. Likewise, that the character Of
the ladies engaged in getting up the Fair

would exclude from the benefits of Chris
tan burial all who refuse to fall down and
worship it: Can each Of them bear the
test of scrutiny as to gold speculationS.
real estate spcculations, stock jobbing, and
city railroad speculations: Is there a
reputable church in the city that has not
gambled in real estate operations, and
profited by selling its valuable downtown
property, and purchasing some less valu-
able lots up town: Where was the
property of that Brick Church" the
name of whose pastor heads this list, only
n few wears ago: The man who should
assert that the sale of this property was
not n stupendous land-jobbing rattle, or
gambling operation. in which more than
one sanctimonious- visaged moralizer of
the present hour was personally interested,
would manifest as much ignorance Of
local fact as these clergymen have of divine
law"
