The Twenty Negro Clause.


The rebel conscnption law is not so
sweeping, after all, as represented. The
President, members of Congress, the Gov
ernors of States, and members of the Leg
islatures, and such persons as either State
or confederate erec1aive may designate, are
exempt But these are not all who are
thus relieved of military duty. 1t is not
enough that the leaders can except as
many friends as they please, from the n
gors of camp life, and the dangers Of the
battlefield; another class must be the
oigarchy. Each plantation on which is
employed twenty negroes, is entitled to an
exemption in favor of one white man; Ell
ther the owners or such man as he may
designate, which of course is the exemp-
ton of the former
A rich mans war, and poor mans fight.
The wealthy family with twenty negroes
to work for it, cannot be. bereaved; while
the only support of the wife and children

this is all quite natural; the war was COM
meneed in behalf of the interests of a
class, and it is fit that it be carried ON in
accordance with the original programme.

People who are In danger of getting
Idaho on the brain would do well to pom
der the following from the St Louis Dem
ocrat:
Idaho is the fascinating charm now
tempting thousands from valuable pursuits
to distant and proftless adventure. The
ultimate results viii comprise the rapid
growth and development of that territory
to be won, however, by The sacrifices of
generation of pioneers. For centuries,
the sdcrG auri tanes has been among the
most potent of agencies for the discovery
and settlement of new lands, and evident
ly its work is not yet done, Even the re-
cent experiences Of California and Colora-
do cannot deter hundreds from becoming
the victims, emphatieally the victiuas of a
new "gold fever" Migration to wild
districts and the reducing of them to cul-
ture are blessing to the race, and when
wisely undertaken are most creditable to
the emigrant and pioneer. But the null
titudes who flock to far-of realms for gold
are only made the unwilling and suffering
instruments in work much better prose-
euted with less of sacrifice and distress
The most of them leave positions of deci-
ded usefulness and happiness to become
the drudges and stepping-stones of others.
In gold-producing countries labor soon be-
comes meanly cheap, relentlessly ruled
and crushed by capital
Experience has perfectly demonstrated
that the chances of amassing wealth at
old b,,1fIro, 10 not s,,-,,ose +br,-o - -
chanics and laborers remaining at home;
and that the masses of the adyenturers
reap chiefly disappointment having IN
frequent instances sacrificed fair prospects,
and in many competency, at their busi-
ness In the States.
As to Idaho, the gold regions are much
less extensive than were those opened to
the California emigrant and, except at
and near the few settlements, the country
is in possession of hostile Indians, who
are especially inimieal to whites prospect
ing for gold. The hostility is cherished
also against agricultural settlers, who are
thus limited, on pain of mourning immi-
nent risk, to the districts already occupied.
Gold mining is the severest of manual
labor, unhealthy, uncertain in its results,
and accompanied by the burden Of pay
ing fabulous prices for the merest necsssa-
ries of life.
The miners need few merchants or me-
chanies, less professional men, no office
seekers, muscle rather than refinement,
and endurance rather than education.-
Society at the mines in primitive and dis
organized, aud infested with villains and
rufians of the toughest description.
These and other considerations, embra-
cling the costs and periis of travel, the
rose-eolored exaggerations IN the interest
of spectators, &c., should receive the
careful attention of all who are looking
with longing eye upon the enchantingly
distant treasures of the latest discovered,
Ell Dorado. We are not of the eroaking
tribe, ever ready to find "a lion in the
way" These difficulties, and greater,
should not deter persons of metal to meet
them, and viii not We suggest them for
the benefit only of those who are liable to
delusion and consequent disappointment
