NEGRO ELooUENcE. E.-There is in negro
oratory frequently a felicity Of express
sion which conveys a great deal Of meaL-
ing in few words. At 4 meeting Of coll
ored people in Sandusky recently, a sa-
BILE orator was holding forth on the duty
of the negro race TO take up arms in sup
port of the Government which had issued
the Proclamation of Emancipation.
Said he: "Those who can't 6ght-the
old men, the women, and the children
must stay down in de valley dey are
safe. But we will 60 up into dc noun
tain TO sacrifice" Another dark-skinned
orator, whilst speaking at Clyde al a
similar meeting, said: "We know what
the price Of liberty is---it is blood.
Blood is the price of liberty. A black
man has got as much blood as a white
man, and we must pay the price. -

striction as the law imposes. Mr.. Laird had
an opportunity Of removing this impression,
but he had not turned it to account. The
parable of the fox and hounds is not sugges-
tive of a merchant standing on his rights. but
with no design ofstretchng them by evasion.
1t suggests rather the idea of an adventurous
risk, In which the liabilities to capture is we'll
known, but cleverly calculated and encounter
ed according to the chances of the sport. But
as such sport, whatever it may be to specua-
tors, may be something very different to the
nation. those who are charged with the nation
alinterests would be without excuse if they
didnot interfere to the very best of their pow
er. We do not pretend to forecast the deci-
sion of a court in the matter of the two Iron
clads but, ifno more can be said for them
than Mr.. Laird has now said for the Alabama,
we are sure the public will approve the ac-
tion of the Government in OBTAINING them for
further inquiry.

The President is vastly delighted thai

give thanks for what he esteems 90 great an
accomplishment.


"Why don't the Government take pos
session Of East Tennessee and give relief

ton asked hundreds Of times for two
years. The newspapers called ftantically
upon the government to push column
into thnt region; and thought it indicated
a want Of military perception and energy
that it did not Perhaps it did But so
far as the President is concerned, the cen
sure Of not seeing the point, and Of not
cndeavoring to secure ii, must not apply to
him. He saw it at the outset and got q
law through Congress for q railroad through
Kentucky to Cumberland Gap, with this
very end in view. But such was the hor-
ror Of the country Of government under
takings which involved large outlays for
such purposes, gathered from our expert
ences ofthe rotten venality and stealings in
the days Of Pierce aud Buchanan, that the
plan was clamo1ed down. But to reach
East Tennessee has never been lost
sight Of We have been more than two
years at 1t; and the reason why we have
not got it sooner, is that with the instru-
mcntalities We were using We could not.
It was what Buell., with his half earnest
heart and coppery brain was trying after.
He got once to Chattanooga, 80 that he
threw shells into the town across the river.
But Bragg was enough for such as Buell.,
and lie look his flank, and pushed him
squire back into Louisville. Rosecrans
then took hold, and Bragg found him an
other sort Of article. He worked him along
backwards, and in year got linn over the
Tennessee. Many thought he might have
done it sooner. Some say the government
was impatient, and TINT his slowness led
10 lis removal But this is certain, that if
Rosecrans is cautious, and will not move
until he is fully ready, he Aeld what he got,
and East Tennessee is ours. Chickamauga
gained it; Chattanooga secures it. We
don't think the rebels Will ever get it again.
We may well be thankful.

runaway from his owner and seek refuge within the
Union lines and howl of indignation is raised over
the refusal to surrender him to his disloval MASTER

This state Of feeling tends to the encouragement of
the enemies OF the United States-to the embarrass
ment OF the Government and to the prolongation Of
the contest.


In this view the President considers it cheaper.
safer and more expeditions to buy out the interest of

bringing quasi neutral territory into active support
