The effect Of the rebellion in this
country has been not only the establish
ment of universal freedom as q funda-
mental law of the land, but also to
stimulate movements toward emancipa-
ton wherever in the civilized world the
institution Of slavery is recognized. In
other words, the loyal people Of the
Omitted States have been fighting the
great battle of freedom for all man
kind.
A very stringent bill has been recently
introduced into the Spanish Cortes for
the suppression of the slave trade The
penalties provided for fitting out slave
ships, or introducing negroes as slaves
into Cuba or Porto Rico, are very heavy,
such as twelve to twenty years inpris-
0nment and fine of thousand dollars
for every negro landed in those islands.
Captains and other officers of vessels
who resist Spanish vessels of war while
enforcing the law against the trade, are
punishable with death, and the severest
punishments are provided for the own
ers Of slave ships and all who aid in
the transfer of negroes from Africa to
the islands mentioned. The bill is not
only intended for the destruction of the
slave trade, but as first measure for
the abolition of slavery itself in the span
ish West India islands. Measures have
been set on foot, as our readers know, for
the abolition of slavery In the Brazilian
empire, and Spain and Brazil are the
emily important countries which sustain
the institution. Sooner or later the
forces ct work in both will have effected
for them happy issue out of legalized
bondage. In Russia the emancipation
Of the serfs from their legal disabilities
is being carried vigorously forward.
The government is freeing the Polish
peasantry, also, from their serf, like con
dition, and furnishing them with title
deeps to their allotments OF lands. The
good work of establishing human
freedom is going on every where, and
this country's example is not lost.

TROUBLE IN SOUTH CAROLINA. The
dispatches Monday referred TO the ex-
istenCe Of a band of desperadoes in
South Carolina whose object is to harass
the freedmen and plumber the people.
By the following extract from a letter
to the New York Post, dated Columbia,
S. c., April 2, it appears that the hostil-
ity Of the discontinued "chivalry" is not
confined to the negroes, but finds vent la
shooting Union soldiers. The writer
Whose trustworthiness is vouched for
by the POST says:
I'm Edgefield and the adjacent villa
ges, two United States soldiers have
been killed and several have been
wounded lately by persons who rule
those districts by force of their rutiian-
ism. The rebel Gen. Gesry, who left
Lees army with few followers before
the, surrender, and who says he has never
surrendered, was arrested last week for
completely in the atrocities against our
troops. He demanded to be treated as
prisoner of war. His friends arrived
in this city soon after he did, and SOL
ders in disguise ascertained that these
friends not only intended to liberate
their general, but that they were to as.
sassinate Gen. Ames. The latter, how
ever, had his house guarded, and took
proper precautions, so that no violence
has occurred in this connection, al
though firing on blue uniforms is almost
q nightly occurrence. Geery goes to
Charleston to-day under guard. The
other persons arrested with him do not
go yet; and some are out on parole.
They all talk very pretty Unionism. No
one in blue uniform is safe, however,
when travelling where these gentlemen
live.
At Orange6urg an officer lately distri
buted clothing TO cOlored people and
maimei soldiers who mad lost their
limbs IN the Southern army. Strange
as it may seem, the white citizens threat
ened violence to the person and prop.
erty OF this officer for his attempt to
benefit the community. His plan was to
give all persons recovering from small
pox new suit of clothes, obtained
through the Bureau for Refugees and
Freedmen, and TO destroy ali inf cted
Clothing. Then he helped old and help
less persons; but, unfortunately for his
comfort, he gave out some red caps.
which were so conspicuous on colored
heads that they excited the ire of white
citizens"
