of Hon. j. NJ. Howard, in the Senate, on the
enrolment OF slaves in the army. Mr. Howard
force oflocal law; that the general Government.
for its defence, NAV call on all the abe bodied
men in the country; that the slave so mustered
into the service becomes necessarily free that
he should be put on the same footing as TO pay,
bounties and privileges, as the white soldier,
who fights by bis side; and that the bounty
which is paid belongs to the freed soldier, and
not to the former master. We think the reader
after an examination Of the article, win agree that
these propositions are correct, and are veil sus-
tanned.

A ork Of this character, written by Greeley,
cannot fail TO have merits OF a high character
The author is already eminent before the publ,
as a statistical writer Of the first class; he ba-

From a survey OF the whole horizon, both ir
its civil and military aspects it seems to US thai
We are now entering upon what may be regarded
as the beginning of the end. That is we are
entering upon course of action, which, if con
tinued, will lead speedily aud surely to victory,
peace, and union.
We see this, in the FIRST place, in the first
elections Of the year. In the State OF New
York, elections have been held in All towns,
villages and cities. this month and last. OF
these, 275 have given Union msjorities, against
136 that have gone Democratic" The Union
lists have gained AZ towns, and the Copperhead.
four. Utica, the home of Gov. Seymour, is Tn.
ion this year, but gave 400 Democratic majority
last year. The Copperheads have lost heavily
in nearly all the towns they yet retain.
The COpperheads were watching with anxiety
the result OF the election in New Hampshire, as
a test of the existing state of popular feeling
A favorable beginning there would have been to
them prestige of victory for the whole cam
psign. But the Union men have elected their
Governor BY about 500 majority, have about
rs majority in joint ballot, and have elected four
of FIVE Councillors, and carried nine of the twelve
Senate Districts. This, surely, is favorable
beginning for the Union cause.
In the Southwest. Arkansas and Louisiana
have already organized as free States, and will
soon send their delegates to Washington to claim
"those vacant chairs" The Constitutional Con.
ven,ion of Western Virginia have adopted an
article abolishing slavery Immediately. There
was but one dissenting vote.
But there has been another political success
which may, perhaps, be regarded as more en-
cOuraging than even these that we have named
We refer to the letter of Mr.. Chase, declining to
be candidate for the Presidency.
In previous letter, dated Jan. Is, to J. C.
Hall. Mr.. Chase had given consent for the use
of bis name, reserving the privilege of with
drawing ii, if his friends in Ohio should prefer
another, and In that letter he writes:
"lf know my own heart, desire nothing
90 much as the suppression of the rebellion
and the reestablishment OF union, order. and
prosperity on safe and sure foundations and

These were noble words, and we're followed
mp by corresponding action. Observing that the
use OF bis name would produce division among
loyal men, Mr. Chase wrote another letter 10 the
same man, as follows:

For the Republican
Rail- Road from 81. Pauls TO Lake SUI
perfor.
WASHINGTON, March IL, 1864.

WASHINGTON, March II, 1864.
Mr. EDITOR; II take pleasure in informing
you that on yesterday bill passed the Senate,
appropriating alternate sections of land, for the
construction of Rail Road from St. Pauls to
superior City, at the western extremity of Lake
Superior. Ii will undoubtedly be concurred in
by the House of Representatives This is a
measure of great importance, not only to Mime
sofa and the immense grain growing region in
the northwest, whose channel Of trade will thus
be in great degree down Lake Superior, BY
Port Huron and Detroit to Buffalo, but to Mich
gan also, as opening for her new avenue Of
commerce and industry. Our mining interest
will feel the good effects Of it in the admission of
supplies from the region wing to the west Of the
Lake and the Mississippi, and the facility thus
afforded for extending the mineral trade to ST
Louis, and towns further down the river, with
out resorting TO the more circuitous route thro'
Chicago. 1t is indeed an important measure.
Very truly yours,
J. VI. HOWARD.
