The South had no more unblushing
apOlOgist, or more skillful eOncoctOr of
figures than Mr.J. F. DeBOw, Of census
and review notOritty. But even he has
been compelled,-by the logic Of events,
to desert the cause of King Cotton. In

nouncsd his belief in the fsllscy of the
cotton theory on which the South rebel
led, and said that slave labor, however,
il might have been, is not now profitable.
Inreturn for this JEFF. Davis has imprison-
ed Mr.. DeBow and suppressed his Review.
When such = man as DeBOw AbAndons
tho cause Of the South, its case must
be desperate indeed. But why don't

One of the noticeable acknowledge
ments of the late Richmond papers is the
increased effectiveness of the blockade.
The possession of the whole length of the
Mississippi River, and of the mouth Of
the Rio Grande, cuts off the eastern d.
vision of rebeldOm from all resources de-
rived from blockade running in Texas.
Phe port of Mobile is closely guarded.
Fort Pulaski end some war vessels seal
up Savannah. Gilmore has stopped the
mouth of Charleston. Since he took
Morris Island and established his batter
les on it, the blockade trade has been
dried up. The last port of the rebels
which was useful to them was Whining
ton, n. O., and that is now watched by
such fleet of fast vessels thst it is con-
sidered sealed up. The rebel journalists
acknowledge these things, and plainly
say no more dependence can be placed
upon the reception of cargOes from
Europe.

Public Meeting at MemPhIs--Ims
mediate Emancipation.
STEAMER GLENDALE, MISSISSIPPI R1vER,l
January 20, 1884. {
Mr. Editor 1t is with feelings of much
pleasure that I have the Opportunity of
addressing these few lines to you. On
Saturday, January 18th, 1 had the graft
icatiOn of attending a meeting in Mem
phis, called and attended by gentle
men of wealth and talent representing
this portion of West Tennessee. The
meeting was preliminary one, prepare
tory to taking steps towards calling
convention or mass meeting of the people
of this State, on the I'D of February, to
devise means whereby for the reconstruc-
ton of the State. They would have
acted sooner, but were waiting to hear
from MiddIs Tennessee; and l think no
doubt can now arise as to the soundness
and loyalty of this portion of the State
and if matters are not pushed along more
rapidly in East and Middle Tennessee
that West Tennessee will take off the
palm and lead, as they have set their
hearts and hands at work in the good
cause. They have their Union leagues
and strong bands, which WELD no small
power, I assure you. The gentlemen
present were many of them large slave
holders and when the Hon. ]. NJ. Tom
eny offered the resolution to test the
views Of the gentlemen present, there
was not dissenting voice, but a unani-
nous concurring of all present.
Mr.. Bingham, editor of the Memphis
Bulletin, advocated the resolution in an
earnest manner; and now his paper
comes out and out for emancipation. I
have no doubt shortly you will hear from
them, and see that they are in earnest in
this matter.
The resolution offered is IS follows:
ResogUsa, That it is the opinion of this
meeting that immediate emancipation is
the duty as well as the true policy and
interest of this State in its reorganiza-
ton.
Do you not think this sounds all 0. K,
and that no more doubt can exist in re-
lation to this portion of the State, on the
subject of unconditional Unionism.
1 have the honor to remain,
Very respectfully, r.

At a recent reception Speech to the

Gen. Burnside said:
I, like you comrades, have come home
TO see my friends, and have been order

number of fifty thousand men. This
propose to try to do, and. like you, pro-

pose as you can be, and hope that I may
be able to continue in the same resolution
until this rebellion is crushed.
Gen. Burnside's North CarOlins, and

brilliant achievements of the war; and
we are glad to know that he is to be

Gen. Granger has issued an order re-
curing occupants of houses in Nashville
TO have their pavements cleaned every
dsy before o'clock, A NJ, and at stated
periods, yet to be fixed, the streets in
front of their premises, the accumulated
Debris of the latter to be piled up for re-
mOval in government carts. This meas
ure is adopted IS a sanitary regulation.
If rigidly enforced its beneficial effects
will soon be seen and felt. Neverthe-
less, il is imposing upon individuals the
duties of the city authorities. The
citizens pay heavy taxes to sustain the
city government, and salaried officers are
retained for the purpose of enforcing the
city ordinances, which provide amply for
keeping the streets in good condition.
A member Of the City Council recently
called our attention to this subject, and
asserted that il was not from any lack of
funds that the streets were not cleaned
and kept clean-tbat there was money
enough on hand. Within the past few
days the city authorities have taken the
matter in hand; we hope they viii pro-
coed vigorously, and thus relieve citizens
of burthens which properly belong to
others. IN the mean time, let every
citizen interested in the matter, lend them
a helping hand. 1t is difficult for them
to procure laborers in sufficient numbers
to make much speed; but after the point
of cleanliness is once attained, it will
be easy to keep up to it.

PONG Plunfor the Union.

The pretended letter of the Pope to
JEFF. Davis is doubtless a forgery
Among the documents printed in the d.

Congress is one dated Rome, April 4
1868. in which Minister BlatchfOrd says
TO Mr.. Seward;
His Holiness, IS well as the Cardinal Sec
rotary of State, are decided friends of the
Union, and ardently desire that its in
tegrity may be preserved. The latter
was strong in the expression OF bis hopes
that the North would speedily subdue
the rebellion"

Some time since we referred to the
evident wrongs involved IN Withholding
from the enlisting slaves family The
freedom extended 10 him. The subject
we stated, had received the attention Of
Senator Brown, whose best efforts to pro-
cure an early remedy could be relied
upon. We are gratified TO find that on
the 10th the Senate Military Committee
reported in the sbill to promote enlist
mente," provision which gives freedom
not only to every colOred soldier, but to
his naotisr, tgife, and children. This jusi
provision will doubtless pass both Houses
and become q law-to the unspeakble re-
lief Of hundreds FOR the haTassed fami-
lies Of colored soldiers.
Let the friends Of these families make
especial note Of the valuable fact, that the
rights thus made legal may not be fitch ed

hunters who are still permitted to pollute
the State.
Had we been disposed 10 acquIesce in
the so-cslIed Emancipation Ordinance Al
the time of its adoption, we certainly
should be for spOnging both il and
slavery from the State now. Public
onin;ou. even then far in advance OF the
fossil pro-slaYery Convention, has since
made prOdigious strides, leaving that
ordinance ridiculously remote IN The
rear.
The national military policy, taFdily
and distantly following that opinion, Is
itself largely superseding the ordinances
by enlisting and freeing the slaves.-St
