THOMPSON, THE ENGLISH ABOLITION
IsT.--The Englishman, George Thomp.
son, came to this country many years ago
and organized societies throughout New
England. the pretended object of which
was to labor for the abolition of slavery
but whose real purpose was to bring about
a civil war and a dissolution of the Tn.
ion.
The same English emissary is now ii
this country, and is making speeches il
the eastern cities in favor of extending
to the negroes (now that they are free, )
all the social and political rights enjoyed
by white men. Instead of being kicked
out Of the country, as he should be, fol-
impertinent intermeddling in our domes-
tie affairs, this man Thompson is every
where greeted by the Black Republican
party as the greatest man of the age

In the course of the discussion on the
Report Of the Committee on the Board of
Domestic Missions, ,in the Old School
Pres byterian General Assembly at Pitts
Aurgh, Rev. G. w Adams, Of the Pres
bytery of Connecticut, made vigorous
and pertinent speech, reminding the As

been made for missionary effort and mis-
sionary labor in New England. He said
that in the Providence of God he had
been called to labor in that field; but he
would have thanked Him if He had call
ed him elsewhere! Yet, as he was there,
he wanted the Assembly to send other la
borers; for there wastno part of the coun-

All the isms and scbisms, that are fatal

Horrors of Emanc,pat1on.

We were conversing few dSys since
with gentleman direct from Richmond,
in relation to- the condition of the freed
men in that locality, and the details al
most curdle the blood with horror. He
stated that the planters who have returned
to their farms are without means, and are
only able to cultivate garden spot and
hardly sufficient ability to provide for
themselves while their little crops are
making The negroes which have here
tcfore been supported on these planta
tions, being now free, are unable to OBJ
tain any employment insthe country, and
are focking by the tens of thousands to
the city There is nothing for them to
do there, and strong picket force has
been placed around ii to Keep them out.
The country for miles about, highways,
and along the water-courses swarm with
them, sick, unclothed and starving, pick
ing up a scanty subsistence on herbs, and
hundreds of them actually dying along
the roads for want of food. They have
never known what it IS to manage for
themselves; are shiftless, and have no
prospect for relief, except in death. And
this is tie banquet of liberty to which the
Abolitionists have invited them free
dom to starve and give their bodies to
the carrion- bird. The blood of these
poor deluded people will cry out from
the ground against their deeeivers. .-Cha

is rapidly extending; cotton is arriving
from the back country; new stores are be-

PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONSPIRACY TRIAL.
WAsHINGToN, May 29-To- day the
counsel for Mrs. Surratt asked to have
Henry Won Steinicker recalled. They
wished to show that Won Steinicker had
been attached to Blenker's staff, but sub
lsequently, while under sentence of death
for desertion, escaped to the rebel service,
and was employed as draughtsman for
Gen. j. E. B. Stuart. They wanted to
show that there was no such secret meet
ing as Won Steinicker had described in
the camp of the I'd Virginia regiment, at
which Booth was alleged to be present,
and the assassination Of President Lin
coin discussed.
Gen. Wallace, member Of the Court,
said the application, which was made in
writing, contained bitter aspersion on q
witness, in his absence, and was inham-
matory in its character. 1t was discred-
liable to the parties concerned and toe
offensive to the Court to be placed on the
record
Mr.. Campbell disclaimed any intention
on the part of counsel, to reflect upon the
Court, The only object was to impeacl
the testimony of witness.
/ The Court voted not to put the paper
on record; but were perfectly willing, a:
was expressed the other day, that the
counsel for the accused should call wit
nesses to impeach Won Steinicker's testi
mony.
] Mr.. Aiken said they had Gen. Edward
johnson, late of the rebel service, ant
members of his staff, to prove that NJ
such meeting as Won Steinicker repre-
sented took place in the camp of the q
Virginia regiment, at which Booth wa
said to be present, having for its objec
the assassination Of President Lincoln.
Witnesses were examined Sby the de
fense to impeach those who testified
against DIR. Mudd.

PARTICULARS OF THE LAST BATTLE OF
t3 THE REBELLION.

New York, May 28.-The Herald's
corressondent gives full particulars Of the
fight at Bacchier, Texas, the last battle of
the rebellion. The national forces under
Col. Barrett, started out for foraging pur-
poses and to surprise rebel camp at
Palmetto rancho, and was, in the COM
mencement Of its movements, very sue
cessful, capturing the camp and making
other valuable seizures. Colonel Bar
rett's troops kept advancing on, driving
portions of the enemy before them, till
finally they found themselves confronted
by about 5000 rebels and were obliged
to retreat. 1t appears that Col. Barrett
had none killed in the fighting and only
five wounded; but on his return to Bra
zos seventy of his men were missing
Many of these, however, afterwards made
their escape from the enemy and return
ed to camp. The rebel loss is unknown.
Great excitement was caused at Browns
vile by the movements of Col Barrett's S
foraging expedition.

sherman, IIaIIeck and stanton.

1t is very evident that there is avery nice
quarrel on hand, in which Gen. Sherman
figures prominently against the firm of
Halleck & Stanton. The public will
await the details with considerable impa-
tience. SO tar as we can learn. Gen. Sher-
man feels aggrieved, and, without doubt,
with considerable cause. He has always
had the sympathies of the people without
seeming to ask it, while Halleck and
Stanton have been universally considered
as drawbacks to a cause which would have
fourished far better if they had not been
in any way connected with it. In regard
to the former, the public cannot forget his
famous march on COrinth, or his slOthful-
ness when acting with Mcclellan, and it
is only to be wondered that he has been re-
tanned in service at all, when more efficient
men have been permitted modestly to re-
tire. That he fully understands the theory
of military ma ters no one will deny; but
there his efficiency ends. The warmest
friend and strongest defender, 1t is said, he
ever had in military circles, was General
Sherman; but it seems he did not value the
friendship as he ought, and forfeited it for
the smiles of the War Department. OF Sec
retary, Stanton, we might, in nervous, ex-
cited condition, expect almost anything.
His industry has been his strongest recon-
mendation for his retention in his place, al
though there is. but little doubt that he has
often meddled in army movements when
his talents could have been better displayed
in managing first-class law suit. Every
man to his calling. iH lleln
In regard to the settlement of the diff
Guilty evidently existing between these par
ties referred to, it is apparent that General
Sherman is on his mettle, and means just
what he saws. That is his style of doing
business, and those who come In contact
with him as real enemies or disguised
friends, must toe the mark, and show a rea-
son for the faith within them. To fully un-
derstand sCump," it is necessary to be ewith
him, and those who have enjoyed that priv
ilege, even if only for short period, will
not come away with any mistaken notions
as to the caliber of the Cincinnati

All Truth.

The following editorial, which we repro
duce from The Louisville Democrat, contains
nothing but the truth:
We should Judge from the tone of part
of the Northern press that the war was not
half over. They feel now more ferocious
than ever. We are at loss to see what they
want with a Union with country they
hate, and with people that all deserve TO
be hanged. Some of these organs have al
ways been disunionists, and some have Just
now To show an unusual patriotism to avoid
suspicion, they having rather doubtful an
tecedents. In short, the stay-at-home pat
riots take pleasure in feeling mad, and feel
ing so long time. There is no profit in it,
however; indeed, it is expensive. Party
animosities cost us this war with all its suf-
ferings and losses. There is no telling what
it may yet cost. The brightest days have
been suddenly overcast with clouds, and
the clearest sunshine has been followed by
storms.
1t might as well be recollected that our
Government has task before 1t now which
physical force can't accomplish. One-half
of the Union can't be pinned to the other
with the bayonet. We must have the CO.
operation of States and people in harmony
with the Federal Government, or we shall
have, not the best, but the worst Govern
ment on earth. The status of a whole race
of people, numbering three or four mil
lions, is to be changed. What change is to
be made does not appear. One system of
labor is to be broken up, and we have now
quack schemes and tinkerings which only
prove that their authors don't know what
they are about. Most unpromising symp-
toms. Mere hate and revenge and asinine
theories are substituted for wisdom and COM
mon sense, We are shown flattering visions
of prosperity amongst a people with ami
mosities to be made chronic by cherished
hate and revenge, and not soothed by JUS
tice and liberality. Where is the prosperity
to come from amongst discontented and
disaffected people? What products profit
able in the South are to be expected when
one system OF labor is broken up and un-
tried experiments are put In their place,
with people, too, utterly hostile to these
experiments? hf.'i-2df o
"Let not he that putteth on his armor
boast himself as he that putteth it off, There
is too much to do just now, and of mag
nitude that would have appalled, our fathers,
who would have appreciated it at its real
size, TO allow any time for boasting. We
have destroyed rebellion; physical power
and resources could do that; but to restore
country is another matter that force will
not accomplish. a' r4f
