AN ARKANSAS PLANTERS S OPINION ON
THE Niger QUEsTIoN.-A planter who
came to Little Rock, Ark, to get arms
for Union home guards on White river,
gave his ideas of the great question of
the day as follows faa. \
" The nigger business is done up, and
there's no use talking about it, 1t don't
make no odds how good Union man
one may be, he'll lose his niggers Ev-
er since the war commenced Old Abe
has been turning the screws down on us
first little turn, and then another !;
we don't scursiy feel it, but he keeps a
turning of his screws, and now its got
to be dogon tight. over thar in Mis-
souri,, the Union men thought they was
going to come out all right, but the
screws have come down on EN- so snug
they had to do something and they
done it, but twant no use; down come
the screw again, and you see where they
are. That keeping in Scofield was for
nothing but to take another turn on the
screw. Now, there's old Kanetuck she
feels as if she was on top of the heap,
and she's been braggin what she's
done but you wait spell, and you'll
see the biggest kind of screw turn down
on her, and if she don't walk the chalk,
she'll have her insides squeezed out.
There's no use o talking; the things all
fixed and l wouldn't give dime for
the best niger you can find"

sB Secretary Chase will soon have
ready for issue thirty-fiye or forty mil
lions of five per cent. interest bearing
notes. With these and the proceeds of
the popular loan, (5-20) the Treasury
can meet all existing demands upon it,
and shove on the war.

The AMNESTY PRocLAMATIoN.-By re-
cent adyices from New Orleans, it ap-
pears that mass meeting of all the 10y
al people in the state of Louisiana was
called for the 8th of January. The OBJ
ject is to take into consideration the
formation of a free State government
1t is said that nearly enough are en-
rolled to enable the State to return to
the Union under the Presidents procla-
nation.
A letter from Natchez says that per-
sons recently from the interior South
are of the opinion that the Presidents
offer of free pardon will have an excel
lent effect as soon as it becomes known.
Prominent Mississippians say the plan
for reconstruction will be gladly ac-
cepted by the people of that State as
soon as sufficient portion of the terri
tory is in our hands to allow tenth part
of the voting population an opportunity
to express themselves.

The CosT OF WAR AT THE SourH.-A
Richmond paper estimates that there are
three millions of bales of cotton now in
the States over which jeff. Davis holds
sway, and within his military lines
The New York Herald notes the fact, and
then goes on to show what the losses Of
the cotton States have been by the re-
bellion, in this article. From variety
OF statistics it makes the aggregate loss
es 100000 bales, which at fifteen cents
per pound, amounts to $500,000,0 900 -
This, in addition to three millions of
bales now on hand, which, at present
would bring s60O,00O,00o but which
cannot be marketed while we maintain
our blockade. This is but single item.
Add to it the consumption aud destrue-
ton of private property and public
works-the arrangement of business
the loss 0. life and the fearful volume Of
"oreavement which has accumulated
force with every added day, and we have
an aggregate large enough to appal the
stoutest hearts.

SHORT AND SwEET.-The Lewiston
(Me.) Journal is accountable for the
following happy Incident 1fs %
"a gentleman of that city on Christi
mas day came from Augusta to Lewiston
in a single sleigh, in company with
an officer of the 10Th Maine from that
city. On the way, the gentleman, in
sportive mood, said he would stop and
introduce him to farmers buxom daugh-
ter of his acquaintance, saying that she
would make fine match The gentleman
accordingly stopped, introduced the Of
ficer, and then went out into the kitch
EN- with the old folks, leaving the officer
and the young lady i'm the parlor-it
being the first time they had ever met. I
In short time both of the gentlemen
left the house and drove to LEWISTON
The next day the officer concluded he
would go to one of the towns between
Augusta and Lewiston to recruit. He
went, but took Clergyman with him,
drove to the house visited the day be-
fore, was married to his new found love,
and went on his way rejoicing

THE CREDITs.-We published yesterday
the substance of an order recently issued
in regard to the credits to towns for
enlistments and re-enlistments. We call
attention to the matter again to say that
II wonld seem a matter of Importance

IMMEDIATE EMANCIPATION IN MARY
LAND.-The proceedings of the Union
State Central Committee at late meet
ing in Baltimore, are published in
pamphlet From these published pro-
ceedings it appears that the committee
urge immediate emancipation, on the
iolloWlIS SFOunuS!
l. Slavery has always been an incubus
upon the State
2. The rebellion has practically abol-
ished the institution within the State.
3. The negro labor of the State, under
a new system, is necessary to its indus
trial interests until other labor shall take
its place,
4. As the negroes are leaving the State
to escape the chances of slavery, they
can only be retained by immediate eman-
cipation. ......... .... .... .
5. The interests of Maryland are iden-
tilted with those of the Northern and
Northwestern States, and not with the
cotton States and slave labor.
Accordingly the committee resolve
that the time has arrived when it has
become the inevitable duty of the Gen
eral Assembly to make immediate pro-
vision for the substitution of free labor
for slave labor, and to adopt measures
which shall enable the people to effect
an early, lawful and complete extingush-
ment of slavery in Maryland"
This committee represents the party
which carried the last election in Mary
land, by large majority.
Governor Bradford in his message
delivered few days ago to the Maryland
Legislature says in reference to the
question of emancipation
"I believe to day, as | have done for
years, that if we had long ago provided
for the gradual emancipation of the
slaves of the State, we should now be
as regards all the national elements of
public prosperity, in advance of our
present position The products of our
State and its natural resources, are not
such as are adapted or can De uere!@,Gs ,ra.@,,ea
by slave labor | am satisfied that the
people of the State, in their moments of
calm and deliberate reflection, long since
came TO the same conclusion. 1t be-
comes us, therefore, to whom the whole
question rightfully belongs, to take i'm
mediate measures for it removal"
Will the copperheads leave my Mary
land" out in the cold 2

In Maryland the Union majority on the home

misfortune.
Indiana continues to pile up Union gains, look

From Minnesota We get but few returns. The
State is all right in the Electoral College and in

The contest in Missouri has been very interest

what the people needed to wake them up to p
Union victory. We shall gain three Congress
men, and lose one in 81. Louis by foolish diyi-
sion Of our strength. We cannot yet arrive at
the popular majority.
Our gains of Congressman in the next House

gain six members Of Congress.
