a nigger is worth such a price, and such another is too old to learn to pick cotton, and such another will bring so much, when it has grown a little more, I have frequently heard people say, in the street, or the public houses. That a slave woman is commonly esteemed least for her laboring qualities, most for those qualities which give value to a brood-mare, is, also, constantly made apparent. A slaveholder writing to me with regard to my cautious statements on this subject, made in the Daily Times, says: In the States of Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri, as much attention is paid to the breeding and growth of negroes as to that of horses and mules. Further South, we raise them both for use and for market. Planters command their girls and women (married or unmarried) to have children; and I have known a great many negro girls to be sold off, because they did not have children. A breeding woman is worth from one-sixth to one-fourth more than one

The North Carolina Legislature.--It will be remembered that the first Southern papers received here after the capture of Fort Hatteras spoke of the disgraceful behavior of the North Carolina Legislature, and refused to report it. The Daily Times of this morning has information from Raleigh stating that the Legislature was in session when the capture was announced, and that the Union men rose in their places, and cheered and swung their hats, and were so noisy in their rejoicings that all business was for the time suspended. The same feeling, to a considerable extent, pervaded the people of that city. No wonder that the secessionist papers were unwilling to chronicle such behavior.--Albany Journal, Oct. 8.

anent peace and not periodical panic, and to do this gradually and with as little injustice as is possible in so great a social revolution. The radical will not withhold his approbation from a proposal that promises to the eye of faith so much. It may be that some of the Border slave States will gladly avail themselves of the offer of Mr. Lincoln, and if they do, the North will as gladly accept its share of so great an act. Of similar purport is the following language of the New-York Daily Times, an influential Republican journal: In dealing with this vexed subject, we think the President has hit the happy mean, upon which all parties in the North and all loyalists in the South can unite. The radical will wish he had gone further, but will be content with the national expression in favor of freedom. The conservative will see that no rash or ill-advised steps will be taken; while all will admit that Government should be conservative, and not accept every ebullition of pass

e purpose of retaliation, even for so grievous a wrong as that which Lawrence has suffered. I have increased the force upon the border as far as possible, and no effort has been, or will be, spared to punish the invaders of Kansas, and to prevent such acts in the future. The force there has been all the time far larger than in any other portion of my department, except on the advanced line in Arkansas and the Indian Territory. . . . P. S. Since writing the above I have received the Daily Times newspaper, published at Leavenworth, containing an account of the meeting referred to, and Senator Lane's speech, which I have the honor to inclose herewith for your information. In a letter of that same date (August 28), Governor Carney informed me, among other things, that after the fearful disaster at Lawrence and on the return of our troops who had pursued Quantrill and his murderous band, General Ewing and General James H. Lane met at Morristown and spent the night together. The

The horrors of war --The Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Daily Times has the following description of the horrors of war. Are they getting their eyes open ? To read of a battle, with its poetry of heroism, is a very fine thing. All men applaud the bold fellow, and all women throw laurels on the gallant soldier, who is ready to throw down his life for his country's flag. If one sees it, the thing is different. I was at the defeat of our forces yesterday near Centreville, and as I witnessed the hot shot and terrible shell tearing through the air; as I saw the horrible grape and shrapnel doing its too certain work all around; as I saw my friend storming, heroically, masked batteries which the terrible incompetence of their leaders did not allow them to silence, owing to insufficient reinforcements being sent in proper time; when I saw these heroes, at eleven dollars a month losing heads, legs and arms, in thick protrusion around me; when I witnessed the horrible rout

t one time he stands perfectly erect, and almost whisper his words, at another makes a terrific dive at the people, and yells like an Indian. He assumes more shapes, makes a greater variety of gestures, and has more tones to his voice than any other orator in America.] Maj. Prince appeared in a card in one of the daily papers, and denounced General Lane as a malicious liar. What effect this had on Lane we are unable to state. Governor Robinson comes out in a two column card in the Daily Times, and reviews Gen. Lane's speech. He characterizes Lane as a liar, thief, and murderer. We quote from it to show what a pretty quarrel these public functionaries have got into: "When General Lane says that my visit to Leavenworth, on Sunday last, was for the purpose of breaking up his brigade, and making Capt Prince Major General, he, as usual, states what there is not a word of truth in and if Governor Reynolds says so, he simply lies, and no one knows it better than himself.

[from the Hartford (Conn.) Daily Times, April 28.]Mr. Vallandigham. We see that the Republican papers are bitter against this member of Congress from Ohio, because he saw fit, in self-defence, to utter certain words concerning Senator Ben. Wade, of his State, that were apparently more pointed and truthful than polite. Wade is attempting the role of bully-general, and seems to think it his privilege to abuse everybody who does not succumb to his arrogant ways. Some negroes in Ohio, a few years ago, gave him a service of plate for his work as an Abolitionist, and since that time he has assumed rather lofty airs. He declared recently that any man who presumed to stand up for the Constitution, was a traitor. Still more recently, he has introduced into the Senate a bill to prevent the victims of illegal arrests and imprisonments from taking steps to redress their wrongs by arresting the Government officer on whose order the wrong was committed. It takes all suits in cases like t
