The New Philadelphia Advocate says
"On last Monday night Alexander Fack-
Ter, son of Sheriff Fackler, went into the
prison for the purpose of locking cells,
having locked the grated door behind
bim,i When he advanced a few steps
from the door, Bair, one of the prisoners
lately incarcerated for the Uhrichsville
robbery, seized hin and placed his hands
over his mouth and eyes, while Leggitt,
his partner, attempted to tie him with
some pieces of a sheet which they had
torn for that purpose. Being an active
young man, Fackler broke. from them,
runa and threw the keys through the grated
door into the hall. The timely arrival of
j. P. Grin and MI. Goodwin with the
prisoner Burnett prevented any further
attempts to escape.

unity I'm -BenevoIence.

We learn from good authority that the
American Union Commission and the
American Freedmen's Aid Commission
have agreed to unite in one organization,
under the name of the Freedmen's and
Union Commission. Bishop Simpson is
the president of the united Commission,
DR.. Thompson of New York, Mr.. Garri-
son of Boston, and Colonel Hammond of
Chicago, are its Vice-Presidents, and the
Executive Committee is made up, in
equal numbers, from the executive de-
partments of the two Commissions. I'm
til the details Of the new organization are
perfected, money and supplies may be
sent as heretofore, to any of the officers of
the two Commissions.
This union, we understand, was the re-
suit of much careful preliminary negQ-
%tiation, and of a full, and free conference
Of the members and branches Of both
Commissions in joint assembly. The pub
lie will greet it with universal approval.
Each of the two Commissions had already
done much to secure unity of benevolent
action for the South. The Freedmen's
Commission had united in itself nearly
all the societies for the benefit of the
freedmen which had sprung up during
the war; and the Union Commission had
combined in one, various organizations
Southern people. Thus there were two
national organizations, covering in some
respects, the same field, and looking
toward the same results. The Freedmen's
Commission was limited by its name and
constitution to the work of educating and
eleyating the freed people of color. The
Union Commission, regarding the name
freedman as q reminder of slavery and a
badge Of caste, and considering how large
ly the future of the black man at the
South must depend upon the good will of
his white neighbors-especially after the
withdrawal of the Freedmen's Bureau
proposed to educate the masses in the
South, without regard to race OF color;
and in this work to cooperate, as far as
practicable, with the people of the South.
Both Commissions, however, covered ter
ritorially the same ground in the South,
and appealed largely to the same %constit-
uency at the North and hence their man
ayers felt the Importance of reducing the
expense of collecting and distributing
agencies, by some concert of action. m
L The Freednen's and Union Commission
is constituted for the purpose of aiding in
the relief and education of the people of
the South, without distinction of color. It
will cooperate with the Freedmen's Bu-
reau and with the Southern people; Civ
ing no less thought and care to the freed
men than would an association for their
exclusive benefit, yet providing impair
tally for the relief and education of all
classes and all persons, according to their
need. The Commission will also arrange
for the appropriation of any funds which
may be specially designated, according to
the wishes of the donors. The public will
unanimously approve Of these principles
of action, and of this unity of organiza-
ton. The Freedmen's and Union Commits
sion Eilh receive a cordial support in its
great work of national benefcence. '-Al

Letter from Gen. sehenek.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
Washington; D. G.. Dec. 20, 1856.

WhsHlnRsOHJ ~ LIEU. 40 lcoo.
DEAR SIR: In reply to your letter of
the 22d inst, / havet say that my atten-
ton has been for some time called to the
fact that certain mereenary and evil dis
posed persons are engaged in the purchase
of soldiers discharges and am prepared,
when the subject comes up for further
legislation, to propose, and insist upon,
such enactments of law as will head off.
the rsscals. A soldiers honorable dis
charge is a sacred document, which ought
to be precious to him and his children. If
he parts with il, he must also, of course,
lose all its possible future advantages to
him or them as evidence of claim for
bounty, pension or bounty land; for moth
ing of that kind can properly be paid
or given to any body but the soldier him
self, or his legal Representatives. AS to
the Spectator who may get possession of
such papers, / would not only have it pro-
vided by law that he shall receive nothing
of whatever may be awarded to u brave
defenders themselves, but it should be
made a penal offense to deal in discharges
or final papers with a view to secure the
benefits of them to any body but the par
ties to whom they have been issued; and
if any one should falsely personate the
discharged soldier, the punishment for his
SO doing, / would make, at least ~eonlne-
ment in the penitentiary. 1t is an in
famous brokerage, and imposition on the
necessities of those who have fought for
US, which must be defeated Of its expect
ed profits, whoever may be engaged in the
business. I am, dear sin, yer respectfnIly
and truly yours, RoBT. @. SCHENeK.

Interview Between Generalsseott and

From the New Orleans True Delta, December a.
The distinguished Commander Of the
Division of the Gulf Major General Phil.
Sheridan, accompanied by General For
syth, Chief of staff, and several other men,
bers of his staff; yesterday paid a formal
visit to Lieutenant General Scott at the
st. Charles Hotel. A very pleasant and
social hour was spent with the old soldier,
who conVersed with the greatest freedom
of men and things of the past recalling
incidents familiar to General Sheridan,
which showed how clear and vigorous
is his memory. Ina mention of the late
war General Scott spoke in high terms of
the Confederate Generals Lee, Johnston
and Longstreet, and regretted the differ
ences in opinion which had separated
them. After a quite agreeable visit
General Sheridan and party left.
Later in the day, we learn, Governor
Wells called upon General Scott.

Gen. Schenek on Dealers i'm Soldiers
Discharge Papers.

We publish to-day a letter from Gen.
Robert G. Schenck to Adjutant General
B. R. Cowen, of this State, on the subject
of brokerage in soldiers discharge papers,
to which we invite especial attention.
There Is a great need of reform in this
matter, and we are glad Gen. Schenck
has taken the matter in hand. Men
who go about cheating discharged soldiers
out of the evidence of their service, with
the hope of beneftting their own pockets,
oughtnot only to fail t. reap any reward for
their infamous r~ascslity, but richly merit
a term in the p~enitentiary. Gen. Schenck's
avowed purpose to introduce a bill pre-.
scribing such penalty will meet thehesrty
appreciation of all honest men, and es-
peciaIly of soldiers. No wonder Gen.
Sehenck's election to the United States
Senate is advocated by all the military
men of the State, for he has proved him
self at all times a faithful guardian of the
soldiers interests.

According to this reasoning, then, the
abolition of slavery in these two states
will, within ten years, add three hundred
millions of dollars to the wealth of the
states, to make up for five millions which
it takes away. How foolishly blind to

The ABOLITION OF slavery.

Whether judged by the boldness and
foresight necessary to originate it, or by
the magnitude of its results, the Procla-
nation of Emancipation is greater by far
than the Constitutional Amendment, and
will fill by far the greater place in the
memory and gratitude of mankind. The
former was an act of humane, daring and
almost prophetic craftsmanship, anticipa-
ting popular sentiment, meeting with OPP
position North and South, and yet grand
ly fulfilling itself in the death of the re-
bellion and the triumph of liberty; the
latter but ratified the decree which Fate
had announced and which the people had
acquiesced in. The first struck the shackles,
at a blow, from the limbs of three mil
lions eight hundred thousand slaves: the
second, in its actual workings, liberated
less than one hundred thousand. The
Amendment was indeed the logical and
almost inevitable sequence of the Procla-
nation. And yet as a fitting and final
close of the great ~anti-slavery era of our
political history, and as a record, placed
in the Magma Charta of human liberty, of
the detestation in which the American
people hold human slavery, the Constitu-
tional Amendment will ever fill a prom
inent placein history.
The only states in which slavery had
legal existence atthetime of the ratification
of this Amendment were Delaware and
Kentucky. In every other state the "pe-
culiar institution" had been abolished,
either by the Proclamation or by the vol
untary action of the state legislatures.
According to the census of 1860 there
were in these states the following number
of slaves:
g. 225, 4s3
-.-.. LBS
Iotal..''..''' '..-..---.".... ...-. ........----.-22T ,2Sl
During the war, the number of these
slaves has been greatly decreased, especial
ly in Kentucky, by conffscation, by eman-
cipation, by the running away of those
slaves who followed the army or took
advantage of its presence to escape, and
by the moving South of secessionists who
took their slaves with them, so that less
than one hundred thousand were actually
liberated. The value of slaves was also
greatly reduced, and a year ago they
would hardly bring an average, good and
bad, of $40 per head. But supposing each
slave emancipated to have been worth $50,
and the total number set free to have been
one hundred thousand, the total loss in
these two states from the emancipation of
the slaves is only five millions of dollars.
But the value of the real estate in these
two states, as every reader of the LEADER
needs not be told, will be doubled within
ten years, by the emancipation of the
and the consequent ingress of Free
Labor. In 1860, according to the census,
the value of the real estate in these two
