Bevain Daily Transcript, ts : renee SATURDAY MORNING, DEC. 34, 1864. ‘oer RR TESTS How if WILL Be Done.—Tho Stock+4 ton Independent, in an article ender the eb6V6 beading, argués that slavery fs not yet dewd, but bas all the vitality of a: wounded giant. Our friend says that two. things are yet necessary to kill the institution.— Firet.an amendment to the Federal Constitation forever prohibiting it in all the States ; and sqcond, the Slave States to make the prohibition thoughly effective, must be politically revolutioned. Now witlrall def. erence to the opinions express orsioes that slavery éxrfot dead, we must _ “beg leave to differ with them in opiniun.— Alrgady the cold sweat of dissolutiun’ has pervaded the entire system. “The funeral -‘knell-bas been sounded and the friends ofliberty and Union throughout the land have, shouted hozannas thereat. We agree with _ thé Independent that it has not been dine by the President’s Emancipation Proclamation. That document only hastened the dissolution which tins already begun. How then was itdone? Why, the slave holding aristocrats of the South appealed to the “God of battles” to help them sustain the oppression which they saw vanishing before the onward merch of: civilization, and by their ‘own acts they exposed their favorite insti» tution and ft was struck down, Let these who have watched the progress ‘of the war look back at the history of the slavery question as connected with the strag“gle. Who forced this question upon the Administration? At the beginning of this war the Administration declared that the institution should not be disturbed. But the President might as well have suid the *twaves of the sea should be stayed.” It was continually brought to the top by every ade ditional development of the struggle and “demanded that the Administration should x dispose of itor that the Union cause should ‘ eink, Thus forced, President Lincoln did strike with effect.“ When it became a quese ; tion to be settled at the point of the bayos . net, Senators and Presidents, Conventions and all modes of settlement known ‘to peace became of none effect, and could hot control for revive the institution. It is admitted by all, that so far as slavery can be disposed of by the war, it is abolish« ed—itis dead. Now we view the matter in 4 Vhie light; at the close of this war no ques» tion seltled by it can be again brought up. For instance, property confiscated during the war cannot be reclaimed unless. unjust. ly taken. Nor can slavery, which has been ‘abolished in accordance with the rules: of war, be again revived. The Cunstitation . nd laws which may have been changed by the fortunes of war must accommodate . themselves to the new order of things which . exiats at the end Of the war. So far as the States ‘are coucerned, no feare need be entertained on their account So s00n as the chains that biud the people of the South are brokeh by our armies, they awill all follow in the highway to freedom marked out to thee by Maryland aud Louis. iana. ' It iv true that popular sentiment must be educated to love liberty tu prevent the resurrection of the dead institution, and it is aldo true that lessons tending to this end are being given hy ‘every day of war, the cloud of the latter will acarcely have clear. ed away when we will find the Southern . States young, vigoroua and enthusiastic in the'cause of human freedom, marching in the van of the friends of hberty. Slavery ia dead and it can never again be restirrecteéd unless the American people ure false to every impulse of duty and honor, =” “LEAVE AND Let Live Assocation. — The citizens of Manchester, N. H, held a meeting to establish an asrociation with “live and let live” for its motte, recently. .The high prices of provisions, milk and ‘Tuel, were discussed at length. Milk, it was de~ clared,. should not have advanced more than a cent per quart, whereas it had rised three.cents beyond that figure, and should now be sold at six cents. The meeting agreed that wood was several dollars per cord higher than the increased prices of labor and transportation justified; and it was etated that there never was so much dry Wood prepared for the market as there was now, Committees were appointed to ins qtire into the prices of wilk, fuel, flour and groceries, with a view to their procurement at rates below what are curreut—provided circumstances would allow. Patp tis Ber.—At Silver City, Nevada, on Saturday, a man named Benson paid an, election bet by sawing up a cord of Washoe mahogany. It was sawed in lengths suita« ble ‘for canes and crib boards, and is to be suld at auction fur the benefit of the Sanjtary Faod. by many, ‘. trip, owing to the depth of the mud, and the ral Banks in reference to the reconstruction of Louisiana, gives a yivid picture ‘of the desblation produced bythe war, upon that ite. .He says, “Nov Bthteas suffgred iT losses in population’ thaiLouisiana. orty«two to forty-five thousand able~ bodied men have enlisted in the rebel army, the remnant of which isin other States. As many negcoes accompanied the army, or fled with their’ owners to surrounding States or te Eurepe. Death in every form has been busy. with her people. Of °331,726 slaves in 1860, nearly one-quarter have died or left the State. The mortolity of the black population in the commencement of the struggle, ‘until furnished with employment and coms fortable homes, was frightful. Its doubtful ifany people in any age ever sustained auch losses-trom-such causes, -Ineluding enlistments, death, exile and removal to other States, to the North and to Europe, the. rex duction.of the. white population is nearly equal to the loss among the blacks, Of 708,000 Whites-and blacks in 1860, there are now not more than 451,000 within the State, two-thirds of whom are within the-tines of our army. Almost the entire negro popula~ tion, not only ot Northern Louisiana, but of the surrounding States, and numerous white families, have taken refuge here. The population of New Orleans, from this very cause, is larger now than ever before, while many other parishes, have been nearly depopulated. A gentleman twenty years 4 résident of Lou. isiana writes ine, under date of the 13th inst., that of twelve thoustnd voters, the largest number ever votingin hia parish, -ten full companies had been sent into: the rebel army from that parish, and that every other ablé-bodied man of the parish was either in the Union army, a refugee, or resident with. in the Union lines. ‘I recently traveled through Catahoula,’ he says, ‘and found it alinost depopulated. This will acevunt for the paucity of our vote. Incredible as it may appear,I doubt if any election could have been held in the usual manner it could have givena larger vote’ Other parishes in that part of the Stute have suffered equal losses, The most perfidious revolt, the most causeless war of human histury, hae thus bution. . i “PATRONAGE TO PRINTERS.—It is anid that the day after Gen. Jacksun’s maug~ uration, twenty-four editors of newspapers marched in procession to the President, “to get their pay.”” Poor old man, he was to be pitied. Among them was Noah, of the Advocate, and Hill, of the Patrioz, Nouh ‘ was & inan of ease, and to appexrance well fed, Hill was lean and lnnk—a very Cassius. Noah, & cunning, shrewd fellow, stopped the procession and proposed a different order.— “Here!” said he—" Hill, you are the ugliest of the clan, and of itingry aspect enough; I am. fat and plump. You shall lead-us on; 4s 8000 as the old President sees this picture of starvation he will surrender at once.” Well, it worked to a charm. They entered the palace jn this order ; the President was sent for and entered the room. He started back Good heavens, geptle« men, take all you want” The old hero, though his nerves never forsook him in bats tle, could not stand this, but surrendered at once; and twentysthree of the twenty-four obtained offices, and the twenty-fourth, for belng left out, let out the whole story, PLEASANT.~—The San Francisco Call proves to its own satistuction that In case the rebel pirates get a steamer on this coast the trade vf San Francisco will go to pot. According to that paper neither the Comans che or Wateree are geod enough Morgans to eatch rebel pirates, and as there are no better naval vessuls on this Coust, according te ite logic San Francisco stands ou dan gervas ground. : MvupDv.—'The condition of the roads léady ing into Stockton is reported tobe awful.
