The Dispatch proves plainly, what everybody knows
well, q at the Yankees the greatest OF all kdnsp
pes. Lkauise, that the negro traiheking in which
they axe low engaged is Of the most Infamous chsrac-
tar and that in comparison with it, the slave trade
was mild and humane. The Dispatch Gays that II Is
not defending the African slave ua1e; put if not, why
notY Was not Las Casas benetaosor 20 the human
rare, especially the negro part of it, ard Wlberorce
pest and curse? Our contemporary, We think, is mis-
taken in sayng that the resolution TO recruit for New
York County Sin the rebel States" was adopted by the
New York Board of Supervisors. The Times of the
10th says that it was rejected. The following shows

unfair dealing By the theories on which they are con-
duesng the present war. Says the ERq~iTsr

The Sentinel shows By the history of the present
campaign trat Grant has no Pretensions to military
s2iHy. Every movement has been fOsd every assault
has bsen repealed every scheme has been defeated:
Ths dsastrous retreat of Hunter from Lynchburg
