BE AVOIDED. .
If servile Insurrections can bo Molded at all,
as a consequence of a civil war carried on In
th pnsenc of tlaves, It will be by the IrgUls
llon of Congress, by tha proclamation of the
Prt.ldf.nl, and by tho proper conduct In obedl
rnce thereto of onr generals In tha Held. The
negroes who are offered liberty by legal methods,
who are guaranteed In Hi possession by the
supreme national authority, and who are pro
vided (temporarily) with tha means of subsls
tence In military employment and under mili
tary surveillance, will bare no temptation to
recover their freedom by violence and blood
ihed. Servile Insurrection Is presented Instead
of being lncl'ed by tha Prealdent 'a proclama
tion, or by the legislation of which that prods
Hon wat the logical supplement and enlarge
ment. It It became the negroea are patiently
awaiting the advent of our armies and the ap
proach of the first day of January, that they do
not break out Into open revolt. And when
liberation comes, It la the recognition of their
liberty as a legal fact by our general, which
restraint them within aafe bounds.
It la thus quite at much a matter of mercy
to the whites of the South, aa to the blacks,
that the Government should continue Itt pre
sent policy or exercising a temporary control
oyer the liberated negroea, and of providing
temporarily for their orderly maintenance. It
Islnthlaway, that the transition of the race
from alaTery to freedom may be made without
bloodshed, and with an Inconsiderable amount
of disorder. Nothing can prevent this deslra
ble consummation, except the success of such
mad teachings aa those of the Louisville pur-
Mai, thst white men cannot, and will sot, lire
with black men, except aa their owners and
masters. If this horrible and demoniac spirit,
tending dlrrctly to a war of extermination be
tween races, can be kept down, all will go
well.
But, let It never be forgotten, that a with
drawal of the President's proclamation would
be tha signal for an universal negro outbreak at
the South. Such a withdrawal would take
away their last hope of the peaceful acquisition
of liberty, and they would then be thrown
upon the terrible resources of despair. The
madmen, who are vainly urging the Presi
dent to that fatal step, little foresee what the
consequences of their success would be. Hap
pily, they will never know by experience, as
the Prealdent Is Immovably fixed In the course
adopted after the fullest deliberation and the
most careful weighing of the considerations
on every side. The proclamation will stand,
and servile war will thus be prevented, If, In
deed, lta prevention Is not rendered Impossible
by the Insane conduct of the rebels, who will,
assuredly, fall victims to it, If It ocenrs.
Aa an Illustration of what may be done In
organizing the labor of the negroes as they are
liberated, and thereby preserving quiet among
them, we quote the following recent order
from Gen. Grant i

John A. IUwuss,
Assistant Adjutant General.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette,
writing from La Grange, says t
(t Hitherto, the onlv work perfomed l ne
groes, In the Mississippi Valley, lias been that
or loading ana unioaaingsteamDoais, cars, ana
wagons, driving teams, building fortifications,
repairing roads, bridges, and other laborusual
It devolving on the soldiers. This Is tho first
Instance wherein the contrabands are made to
produce anything for the Government. Tho
Melds around La Grange and Grand Junction
are full of cotton that was abandoned by the
owners of the plantations at the time our army
approached. If all this Is properly collected
and sent to market, It will create a revenue of
no inconsiderable importance, lotion-raising
Is remunerative at ten cents per pound. Cot
ton picking will certainly be profitable at fifty
cenia per pouna. it is mgmy necessary inoi
the negroes should be placed somewhere In em
ployment, and the present opportunity has betn
well Improved by General Grant."
The old system of driving from our Hues all
slaves attempting to escape to us, would have
converted all these negroes, now peacefully en
gaged In picking cotton in the vicinity of La
Grange, Into brigands, and probably Into mur
derers.
We may, If wo will, Ignore the fact that
half the population of the Gulf States are ne
gro slaves, but the fact will remain the same.
It Is not a thing which we can get rid of by the
weak method of letting It alone. We must of
fer to these slaves a peaceful and legal freedom,
and assist In orgsnlzlng their first efforts at
free Industry, or we shall have visited npon a
most Interesting and valuable portion of our
country all the nameless horrors of social cha
os. We cannot abdicate the duty of governing
and protecting the region npon the Gulf. Tt'e
roust discharge It firmly, wisely, and without
regard to local frenzies.
Neat Post on Hlavery tu ImUlaua.
The Boston papers arc publishing extracts
from letters from Brig. General Neal Dow, of
Maine, who has been stationed at Forts Jackson
and St. Philip, Mississippi river, upon the con
dltion of slavery In Louisiana.
As to the institution of alovery, General Dow
considers It as virtually overthrown-" already.
"Indeed," says he, "it Is literally so everywhere
within nnr mllltarv lines. The slaves think
themselves free, and will not work for their
masters unless they choose to do so, ond unless
they are paid. Many masters now pay their

HTATKsTnlOIITB HKVrVRD.
IOne of the most Impudent things of recent
imes, Is the charge of a police Judge, In Mem
his, to t grand Jury, to the effect that all the
laws of the seceded and defunct State of Ten
nessee against free negroes, are stilt In
fall force, andl that these laws are protected
gainst national Interference by the Consti
tution of the Untied State. These seced
ed rebels talk1' about the Constitution of the
United States at If they had an Interest in It,
or right under It. If they will ask their mili
tary governor, Andy Johnson, be will tell them
mat tney nave no rignt .jit, nut me rignt to oe
hanged.
This charge of the Memphis police Judge at-
iracica toe attention Ol ueucrai ouerroaa, auu
by his direction, the following order wss Im
mediately Issued!
"Provost Marshal's Orricx,
MEMrnis, Nov. 11, 18ftl.
"The Judge of the criminal court having
charged the grand Jury on certain points where
a conflict of authority might arise, all persons
will take notice that any attempt to execute
State laws at variance with the orders of the
President and military commanders, will be
construed as a contempt of the authority of tha
United States, and will be summarily punished.
The status of the negro Is Involved In the war
now existing, and will, In Its progress, be
clearly determined.
"In the meantime, runawar slaves must be
treated as free, and people encouraged to give
them employment aa tnch. So far at the court
confine! itself to punishing murder, arson,
burglary, and crimes mat a Inn, the provost
iruara is reauirea to co-operate.
" II. V. AWTHOKT,
"Provost Marshal of Memphis."
The Bouthwist. The correspondent at La
Grange of the Cincinnati Gaettte writes, No
vember 15 1
" I have authority for stating that General
Halleck has given Gen. Grant full power to
conduct the campaign In the Mississippi Val
ley according to his own discretion, with the
assurance of all the aid that may be required
from Washington."
This Intelligence, which Is confirmed by the
large reinforcements already sent to General
Grant, will be most gratifying to the country.
While It Is seen that Gen. Grant occupies the
most Important position In the field, the public
are watching his movements with aa much con
fidence as Interest. The greatness of his
achievements and the uniformity of hit suc
cess Justify this general feeling of hopefulness.
The right man In the right place, sustained by
the Administration here, will not fall to crnsh
the rebellion.
Northern Travel Boston axn New Tore.
There Is no route upon which travellers are no
admirably served asthst between New York
and Boston, by the way of Long Island Sound
to New London, and thence by rail to Boston.
The Sound portion of the route Is performed by
two magnificent boats, built last year, and
bearing the appropriate names of the " City of
New York " and " City of Boston." The steam
navigation of the Sound has always been of the
first class, but these boats surpass all their pre
decessors lu that service. By this route, trav
ellers for Boston always reach that city In sea
son for ttie first morning trains for the North
and East. Travellers from Boston, Intending
to come South from New York, are sure to make
the Southern connection, as the boats make
their first landing ut Jersey City for that pur
pose.
Tur Rr5.rOADE BROCOHAM.-Lord Brougham,
in a recent letter to Lord Radnor, expresses a
strong hope that the Federal Government will
abstain from exciting a servile Insurrection,
the only aggravation whereof the deplorable
contest Is copable." " Such a calamity," he
says, " is more to be dreaded by the friends of
the negroes than by those of their masters, for
the chief sufferings would bo theirs." When
Lord Brougham was plain Mr. Brougham, he
was a Liberal, and opposed to slavery. Indeed,
he wrote a book against the whole system fifty
years ago, which Is one of the best of his
literary performances. It was Mr. Brougham
whodmounccd "the guilty fantasy that man
can own property In man." The English aris
tocracy bought him over with a peerage, as they
always try to do, and generally succeed In
doing, with men of talents who rise on the
popular side.
EST" Notwithstanding that no notice what
ever Is taken, by the Commissioner of the In
ternal Revenue, of communications reaching
that office from assistant assessors and others
holding office under the direct tax and excise
law, asking information In regard to business
operations, still the receipt of them continues
unabated. It Is time that all these parties
should know that It is not the business of the
Internal Revenue Department, here, to answer
answer questions propounded by subordinate
officers relative to the workings of the law,
The Immediate superior, In the district of the
assistant or subordinate, Is the proper party to
apply to, as haa been before stated, and not the
Commissioner or the Internal Rrvrnur.
StwtESDEB or Harper's Ferrt. The -
telligmcer, of Saturday, haa two columns and a
half In review or the report of the commission
upon the surrender of Harper'a Ferry. It had
already reviewed that report once before. But
it has neter jet published the report Itself,
although It Is not a voluminous document, and
Is of great interest. It dares not trust its
readers to examine the report for themselves,
but turns up extracts and disjointed passages.
Is that the way to treat great public questions I
(ST The Baltimore American or Saturday
devotes a column to the vain purpose or per
suading the Government to give up tho expedi
tion against Texas, and to order General Banks
to co-operate In the capture of Richmond.
Richmond is or little importance 10 tno reu-

FtxAKCtAL. Some New York bankers have
been here for tome days, endeavoring to Induce
Secretary Chase to rslse all monlca needed by
the Government In future by loans, and not to
mako any further Issue of demsnd notes.
ItERtciriL V. Jonssos. This gentlemen
has been elected Confederate States Senstor
from Georgia,
Stokewall Jackson. The whereabouts of
this man seems to be very much a matter of
doubt and speculation. Sometimes we are In
formed tharhe Is at Harper's Ferry and about
making a raid Into Maryland and then that
he Is retreating to Gordonsvllle and tho Star
of Saturday aayt that he la marching on Wash
ington with the Intention of taking the fortifi
cations at Arlington and turning their guns on
the city.
Evaccatid. Holly Springs has been cvsc
uted by the rebels. The Confederate generals
did not consider their position there tenable, It
It laid. They are going Into winter quarters
at Abbyivllle, presuming that onr forces will
not attack them there. Many of the rebel tot
dlert are without blankets, and otherwise very
deficient In clothing.
A New Sihator. The Governor of New
Jersey haa appointed Richard Field a Senator
of the United States, to fill the vacancy occa
sioned by the death of John R. Thompson.
The latest newt from Port Royal stales that
the yellow fever has entirely disappeared.
Railroad Accident. Tbe accident on the
Boston and Maine raiiroaa proves to nave oeen
a very terlont disaster. Tbe Boston papers
have pretty fnll accounts of It. It Is ascertain
ed that seven persons at least w ere either killed
or drowned.
There are aald to be many rebels In arms at
Leesbnrg and Martlnsbnrg.
The recent rains have greatly raised the Po
tomac. This, If nothing else, will put a stop
to raids Into Maryland and Pennsylvania,
Mobile. There is said to be a great deal or
excitement In Mobile for rear the city will be
attacked by our forces. There are not many
rebel troops there. Mobile should be captnred
aa soon as possible. It Is an Important point

Death or General Pattersov. Brig. Gen.
Frank Patterson was found dead In his tent,
near Fairfax Court House, at au early hour
Saturday morning. He was a son of Major
General Robert Patterson, of Philadelphia. He
was In command of tho New Jersey brigade.
The Florida Expedition. Hon. Ell Thayer
is now In Washington making tho necessary
arrangements to carry out his plan of restoring
the Bute of Florida to the Union. Wo have no
doubt of the success of this enterprise, If It be
carried out upon the plan suggested by Mr.
Thayer. It Is both Just and feasible.
GrsERAL McDowell. It Is understood that
tho court of Inquiry 'Into tho conduct of
this general commences to-day. Wo believe
all the preliminaries are adjusted) aud ir nil tho

The Brinsmade Case. The case or tho Im
prisonment of this lady Is producing something
or a sensstlon In New York, In Washington,
and, In fine, throughout the country. It this
lady's statements are reliable, some offlclsls do
not appear In this transaction to the best ad
vantage. We await the full tlmotimtnt of this
case with some Interest.
Aqcia Creek. The railroad between Aquta
Creek and Fredericksburg Is said to be In good
running order, with the exception of the bridges,
and these will be put In thorough order In a few
days.
General Hooker. This general has not yet
been able to ride on horseback, but moves with
the army In an ambulance. When there Is
another battle, If God spares his life, there will
be a good report or him, notwithstanding his
Inability to mount his horse.
Fredekicesburo. The rebels have, It It as
certained, within a few days removed a large
quantity or stores from Fredericksburg towsrds
Richmond. The work has been done by means
or teams.
07 Commissioner Bontwell, or the Internal
Revenue department, has addressed a letter to
each or his assessors, suggesting that when the
annual assessment for September, and the re
turns thereor or the assistants, are complete,
they will consider whether tho services or a
portion or their assistants cannot be dispensed
with, at least, until May, 16C3, retaining those
best qualified ror the duties consequent upon
the business relating to manufactures.
If auy assessor find auch a reduction of his
assistants impracticable, he Is required to com
