Elements of the Conflict between Freedom and Slavery. The Monthly Religious Magazine for Octo ber, has an able article from its senior Editor, the Bev. Edmund H. Sears, under the above title, from which we make the following ex tracts: After speaking of the protracted struggle in which we have been engaged for eighteen months, and of tbe doubts and discourage ments of many lest we be utterly liroimifrap, he proceeds to say: We anticipate no such termination of the conflict; but it is tbe duty of every citizen to Mk, Why is the conflict drawn out through all this outpouring of blood and treasure, de manding of the loyal States an annual sacri fice of one hundred thousand men, the pride and flower of their population Look at the elements of strength. It is fol ly to underrate the power of an enemy. It is cowardice to exaggerate it, and then tremble before the Imaginations which we have evok ed. The census of I860 gives to the Free States a population of nineteen millious. Add to ibis, the loyal population of tbe Border States, and .we have about three millions more, making 22 millions which represent tiie Union strength ol the country. Against this we have in the Slave States, including the rebel element in the Border States, about six millions of white population, which (airly represent the strength of treason. This, we believe, comes nearest the truth; but make a larger allowance, give to the rebellion another million, and we have for loyalty twenty-one millions, for rebellion seven millions, or three against one. The available military force of a country in cludes about one-tenth of its population. This gives to loyalty 2,100.000 lighting men. It gives to treason 700,000 fighting men. But there is another consideration. Who are these 700,000 men Who are available for the rebel cause They are not the chivalry.” They are an aris tocracy making a very small minority of the white people. The whites” make up three fourths of the white population of the South. They are sand-hillers,” clay-eaters,” igno rant and lazy, and many of them below the ne gro in the range of mental and physical re source. They make up, nevertheless, the mass of the rebel armies. They are kept degraded and brutalized by the slave power without knowing it, ana are wieiuea lor its ends.— Hence the chivalry can mass these men io front of the Federal cannon, and see them slaughter ed as remorselessly as we would send sheep to the shambles. The slaveholders all told only number about three hundred thousand meti. The officers and leaders come from these, but they do not form the majority of the rebel ar my. Moreover, the naval power Is entirely in tbe I hands of the government. It controls, with slight exceptions, all the great water-courses, girdles rebeldom and blockades it. Added to tills, tbe wealth ot the nation is on the side of tbe government, in which lies the sigews of war. But there Is another element of strength which we have not considered. There are four millions of slaves who are watching thelissue of this conflict, on whose account it began and is carried on, wbo are biding tbeir time, and for whom there is to be a new evolution of his tory. They are the mud-sills” on which the bloated and insolent aristocracy is standing for support while stabbing at the vitals of the nation. Hence come tbe rations that feed their armies, and tbe rags that cover them. Knock out the mud-sills from under their fret, aud they would tumble into ruin swifter than Sa tan did, for he was nine days in falling from heaven into hell. Among these four millions of slaves there are four hundred thousand stalwart men.— They would not all make soldiers, but a great many of them would, for the blood of their masters runs through their veins, and goads and stings as it runs. Many of the field slaves are ignorant and brutalized, and have all man homrcrushed out of them. Many of the house slaves rank higher in tbe scale of being than the “poor whites” of the rebel conscription.— They include the Scipios, and Fred Douglass es, who surpass, not the poor whites only, but James M. Mason himself, in moral and intel lectual manhood, which, to be sure, is not pay ing them much of a compliment. Gen. Hun ter says he could recruit fifty thousand good aoldiers from this class, in his department /done. Such are the elements of strength. On one aide twenty-one millions of loyalists, and four millious of bondmeu, who would gladly be their allies; on the other side seven millions In'rebellion. On one side wealth, and all the naval power; on the other side no naval pow er, and all tbe wealth in the hands of an aris tocracy. Why, then, is the conflict dragging Its slow length along? Because on the side of treason there is earnestness, concentration, unity ot purpose. Because on the other side there is no such concentration, but vascillation. half measures. and hair-blows. The rebels mean one thing, and that thing is very well defined. It is to destroy this government, and build a slave des potism on its ruins, under whose black shad ow tbe Northerner shall be reduced to a level with their poor whites and negroes. It is not merely to destroy the Union, but so destroy it that Yankee abolitionists will never trouble them more. It Is to Inaugurate a slave aris tocrocy which shall be the ruling power of the continent,and hold the Free States forever un der its heels, and make them the lackeys of its power. This oue idea possesses the conspira tors with the earnestness and the madness of demoiilsm. What is the Idea which the government op poses to this Merely, thus far, to restore the Union as it was. It is not an idea which can hold the popular mind, and sway it as the In spiration of God. Nobody wants tbe Union as It was, but the Rip Van Winkles who have hardly waked up from a sleep of twenty years. The rebels not only do not want it, but spurn it with mockery, and laugh u« to scorn for trying to restore It. The Union at it was in cluded an element which was urging us to ru in, and had brought u sto the very brink. Tbe suspicion that some compromise will be patched up, leaving slavery still a power In tlie Republic, to work its accursed plots anew, and so all our blood lie poured out for naught, is a damper upon all enthusiasm. The Union as it was. with negro-hunting, Kansas murders and conflagrations, lyncli laws to cancel debts, bludgeons and pistols tlie rule of de bate, is not worth fighting for, or praying for and all the blood which, has been spilled on tlie soil of slavery, as if to purge and hallow It, cries to heaven against such a consumma tion. “But it would lie unconstitutional to put an end to slavery.” We do not debate that mat ter. Enough that Congress says it would not be, and the President says it, over his sign manual and with*his oath upon him. Tlie slaves of all rebels are declared confiscated, and that would sweep the insurgent States tol erably clean. Tlie Presideut any day can kin dle a back Are which would cause not only Richmond, but all tlie Border States, to be evacuated of traitors a good deal quicker than our volunteers would do it. The Union as it should be, with slavery as a political power sunk too deep even for the resurrection of tlie last day to find it, and the rebellious aristocra cy who have plotted treason for tlie last thir ty years sunk with it,—this were an object worth fighting for; and possessing the hearts of twenty millions of freemen, and three mill ions of bondmen longing for theboon of liber ty, and concentrating the illimitable resources of tlie loval States.—who doubts that they might end this war before another new year, and open a new epoch for the country ami the human race? As we write, the proclamation comes to hand. Practically it only evinces the President’s pur pose to execute in good faith the Confiscation Act. But it shows the gradual progress and ripening in tlie public sentiment, and, if the policy it foreshadows is faithfully followed up, will place the sympathies of the colored race on the side of the Union. But neither the i resident nor me people is yet prepared lo use the tremendous power which the slave-system places in his hands. And yet, until he does use it, we do not see any prospect of bringing this war to a speedy termination. But the log ic of events lias swept us already where nobody ever intended It should, and is still sweeping us on. God be praised, he is shaping our ends, rough hew them as we will. M^jor General Burnside. Rev. Augustus Woodbury of Provide .ce, the Chaplain of the First Rhode Island Regi ment of three months' volunteers, thus speaks, iu his recent book, “A Narrative of the Cam paign of the Rhode Island First," of Colouel Burnside, who commanded the regiment. “I need not speak of the religious character of our iioble and beloved commander. Rarely did he seek his rest at night without engaging In acts of devotion. ‘It was his custom at home,’ he said, in his simple way, and he de sired me to continue it with him. In our pri vate conversations, he would speak with all tlie trustfulness of a child of his unwavering conviction that he and all bis interests were in the care of a Divine Lore. Whatever might betide, God's mercy was sure. It seemed to me that a Chaplain was hardly needed in our regiment. For its Colonel’s daily life, so pure, so generous, so houorable, so brave, so thor oughly Christian, was more eloquent In its full rounded completeness, and more w inning and persuasive than any sermon I have ever beard from mortal lips. The spirit of his eharacter breathed through the camp and. almost imper ceptibly to ourselves, raised every man of us to a loftier plane of life and action. For courage without rashness, for prudence without fear, for a quick sense of honor which scorned all baseness, for a high-minded gener osity which frowned upon ail petty jealousy and mean intrigue, for selfflevotfon to the in terest* of the State and country, which repos ed iu him their confidence, and for self-sacri fice for this great cause of Liberty and Union, Col. Burnside was and is distinguished more than any man I have ever known. He sought from this service no personal glory, no mere military distinction, which has such charms for weaker men. He desired no pomp, no parade, no flattery, no preferment. lie simply wished to do his duty to the men under hit command; to the parents, sisters, wives, and friends who had entrusted these precious lives to Ids keep ing; to the State which had recognized his abilities and had sent him forth; to the coun try which needed his counsels and his arm; to God who has so richly endowed him with every quality that marks a man. How well he did his duty is well known, aud history will record. Those were Ills public characteristics. To myself, who had the privilege of his con nnence, ms irtennsntp. anu ms private inter course, his lile was a daily wonder and a daily admiration. Every thought and every act was for the welfare of his regiment. By day and night his vigilance secured the comfort of Ids command. He marched on foot that he might measure the endurance of Ids men by his own. He lightened every hardship by sharing it with them. He diminished every danger by care for tlieir safety. In every encampRlent his own quarters were the last to be selected and the last to be prepared. It was his regiment first., himself last. Is it any wonder that wa should love him with a surpassing devotion? Let other and greener laurels encircle his brow, and let him wear even a loftier title than that which he now bears with equal modesty and faithftdness; he will be honored by us, to whom he was like a parent in his unselfish love, as our brave, simple-hearted, manly Col onel. Old Fashioned Specclation.—The fol lowing story of old-fashioned speculation in cotton is taken from that entertaining book, “The Old Merchants of New Fork City.” It is told of Nathaniel Prime, one of the old merchants: “Hubert Kermit once started a line of‘saint’ sldps. He owned the ship St. George,' and he persuaded Stephen Whitney and old Nat Prime to become owners iu a new ship, called the. ‘St. Andrew.' The line never succeeded, although the latter once made a very short passage in the year 1834, and brought the in telligence of an advance in the price of cotton in Liverpool. She come in late one Christmas eve. Old Mr. Prime lived at that time at the corner of Broadway and Market-field street, (now Battery Place.) Mr. Whitney lived only a few steps distant, on the corner of State street and Bowling Green row. These old heads and tVo or three younger ones had the exclusive news, and they intended to make the most of it. It was certain not to be made public uulil the day after Christmas. Letters of credit were prepared in the front paalor of No. 1 Broadway, for one million of dollars. Walter Barrett was selected to leave next morning for New Orleans, by the way of Wheel ing, hoping to outstrip the great southern mail, leaving two days ahead, carrying these credits in favor of Thomas Barrett and John Hagan, of New Orleans, both eminent mer chants in those days. The letters ordered cot ton to lie bonglit so long as there was a bale in first hands In New Orleans. Mr. Barrett, the bearer of credits and orders, was told to spare no expense in order to beat the mail. It was now eleven o’clock Christmas eve. No one had thought about money lor the expense of the messenger to New Orleans. Banks were all snort—brokers too. Mr. Prune seized a blank check and went up to the City Hotel, “Mr. Willard, for what amount can you cash iny check to-night?” “How much do you wish, Mr. Prime?" “One thousand dollars." Mr. Willard hud tue money and guve it to Mr. Prime. It was in the pocket of Mr. Wal ter Barrett the next morning, when lie embark ed at six o'clock in the boat lor Aindoy, com manded then by the since famous Captain Al exander Schultz. The messenger, by bribing stage drivers, paying Mississippi boatmen *50 or *75 not to stop and receive freight, reached New Orleans in eleven days. It was daylight when he got into the old City Hotel in New Orleans, kept then by Mr. Bishop. Two hours later, John Hagan and Thomas Barrett had the letters of credit and orders to purchase cotton. The southern mail did not arrive for three days. Before night over 50,000 bales of cotton had been purchased, at 11 to 12 cents, or about $60 per bale. The cotton was sold at 17 and 1ft cent*, when cotton went up a few days after. Borne was sent to Liverpool. The profit was on some lots over S30 per bale, nnd was divided up among the New Orleans houses of Barrett A Co., and John Hagan A Co., and the New York operators. The messenger had the prof its of 2oo bales awarded him, and his,expenses paid. m- Gen McClellan, being called upon by the soldiers at Warren ton for a speech, said: “I wish you to stand by Burnside as you have by me, and all will be well.” It is a pity that some of this self-sacrificing patriotism cannot penetrate the skulls or hearts of the noisy self elected friends of the General. MISCELLANEOUS. TODD’S LUX SOLIS H A. I DYE! THE market has boon floode d for years with differ ent articles called Hair Dyes, which have never satisfied the expectations of purchasers. The nk Pi.ce ultra has been reached at last in TODD’S HAIR DYE, and the article has given entire satis faction to every person who has used it. It contains no injurious ingredients, and gives the hair a beauti ful rich brown or black color. Directions for using —which are very simple—accompany each bottle. One superiority of Todd’s Lux Solis Hair Dye over all others is, you do not have to cleanse the hair or wash it before or after using the dye, and there is but one kind to be used, and that can be put on the%me as oil and water, without any trouble, unliko all oth er dyes that have two or three different kinds to be applied ever}’ time used. This dye is peculiarly adapted for coloring ladies’ hair, because you do not have to wash out the dye after putting it on. Unlike aIlotherdyes.it will color long hair, which other dyes cannot do. Give this new’ article a trial, as we know you will use uo other after once using this. |y For sale only at TODD’S HAIR-DRESSING ROOMS, No* 74 Middle, corner of Exchange Street* septlfltf THB BEST ^ijgaSgH^COFFINS jESB My and— CASKETS, To be found iu this city, of every description, finish ed and trimmed In the ISTeatest Style, ARK AT C.
