Victim Or RIoodho~nas,

A distressed looking contraband,
who had worked his way up from Dix
ie to freedom, says the Dayton, (O)
Journal of the Both, was presented at
the Provost Marshals Office, the other
day, as recruit. He was a first-rato
victim of the Southern bloodhound
system. On his body, arms and legs
were the marks of the teeth holds Of
the savage dogs used TO bring in re.
fractory slaves, and "tcach them to be.
have themselves" His Acsh was lit.

Jumps about as large as the ends Of

had been chawed out OF shape, and so
abused by dogs and whips that he was
utterly incapacitated for soldering or
any hard work. Persons who saw the
evidences of the scourgcand the blood
hounds, say it was the most horrible
mutilation they ever witnessed on the
human frame. The. shameful treat.

The P.scs Conference.

Nothing had officially transpired at
last advices from Washington, as to
the result Of the recent 40 called Peace
Conference at Fortress Monroe. 1t is
stated that tho President has in readi-
ness a message on the subject, and is
only waiting call from the Senate to
produce it. We think, however, that
Mr.. Lincoln will, at the proper time,
communicate to the people what he
has 10 FAY on the matter, without
waiting any CAL from Congress. The
general impression is that this Con-
ference had tho. result most thinking
men anticipated, namely, that the Re-
resentatives Of tie Rebellion demand
cd separation and their recognition as
n Government, as a starting point for
ncgotiations-while the President in
sisted upon Onion and submission to
tho National Government by the in.
surgents, as that starting point. Ono
account, however, states that tho Reb
el Commissioners demanded an ar
Hlistice as the csscntisl preliminary
which the President Of course declined
70 concede.
With the certainty that a few dayi
will disclose tho proceedings OF tha
Conference, it is useless to indulge il
speculations regarding thom. 1t is t
DO hoped, however, th It if it shall al
thcntically transpiro that the Rcbol
are madly bent on tho destruction o
the Union, or on self.destruction n

this fact will havo the effect to final,

gantic effort as has not hitherto bccl

COTTON. GoLp.ANp aoops.

Cotton has declined since last Au-
gust and September from one dollar
and eighty.fve cents pound to eighty
cents. The regular and spocu lative
trade shows no confidence in its again
reaching such an inordinate price, or
in any material appreciation, while
tho growing confidence in the triumph
of the Government, and the approach
ing end of the war, furnish possibili'
ties for further heavy decline.
The premium on gold has fallen fifty
or sixty cents on the dollar, with great
fluctuations during the same time
Spectators have found that there is
now as great q chance tor a decline
as for an advance, and although they
may for while struggle against the
downward course, yet their operations
will after awhil, help the declining as
much az the rising tendency.
The mass Of the people have real
lied the effect of the advance in tho
price of cotton on the goods they buy,
and the influence of the rise in the
premium ofgold on every article in
the market. They are not so well ac-
quaintcd with tho effect of fall in
cotton and gold. Yet they will be,
FOR as soon as the declining tenden-
cy becomes established, traders will
have to concede, and they who
longest resist will lose most The timo
for boarding goods has gone by
There are few, we presume, at this time
who will advise the buying of more of
anything than is required for present
consumption, for the purpose Of antici.
pating an advance. The purchases
upon this idea have greatly stimulated
trade for the past two years, and at
this time there are probably larger
household stores than in settled times.
These purchases for boarding are at
an end, and the stores will feed the
consumption, So are purchases ofspcc-
ulators for boarding. These will now
como upon the market, and plenty
will succced tho scarcity which al.
ways sets in when prices are advan-
cling, .. .
Consumers are entitled to the DO
cline. They have paid the advance
in full, and = largo margin continually
iif anticipation of the constant nd.
vance. The decline of one-half in the
price of cotton will mako q material
difference to consumers when it comes
to be realized in their purchases of
manufactured goods. With a reno.
val of tho uncertainty which has hung
over the financial policy Of the Gov.
ernment during Mr.. FEsENDEN's pas.
sive administration of the Treasury,
and with certainty that there shall
be no ful ther issue of Government cur.
rency, Jhore will be a chance for fur
ther decline in gold. 1t is probable
that the traders who promptly meet
the decline, and keep their trade going
by yielding to the sliding scale Of pri-
ces, will come ont best They will
have all the profits of legitimate busi.
ness, and will be best fortified against

ing party last night, having played
several airs before the White House,

thought all would bear him witness
that he had never shrunk from doing
all that he could to eradicate slavery by
issuing an emancipation proclamation,
Applause but that proclamation falls
lar short of what the amendment will
be when fully consummated. A qucs
ton might be raised, whether the pro-
clamation was legally valid, 1t might
be added that it only aided those who
came into our lines, and it was inoper-
utive as to those who did not give them
selves up; or that it would have nc
effect upon the children Of slaves born
hereafter. In fact, it would be urged
that il did not meet the evil, but this

House by Mr.. Rebor, of Pickaway, rc-
quiring legal advertisements to be pub
lishcd in two papers of the proper
county, of opposite politics.
The bill increasing tho compensa'
tion Of township assessors fifty cents
per day, seems likely to pass both
Houses. The compensation bill for
S.atc officers has been variously amend
cd, and it is very uncertain in what
shape it will be adopted, if adopted at
all. An amendment incI easing the pay
ofjudgcs was lost in the House.

while to detail its provisions until
nearer its maturity and final passage.
A bill has passed tho Senate estab.
fishing Bureau of soldiers Claims
