be WJBO ARE The Copperhead politicians and are very much exercised upon the question of amalgamation. They, eay if the present programme of the -administration carried und the slaves made free, the country will sink into the barbariem of amalgamation that our white women will be obliged' to marry black They openly declare that this is the policy: and the intention of the Bepublican Union party. It is the last argument they can invent against the destruction of their pet peculiar institution." They dare not Btstid up and- say the South, by its act of rebellion, has not forfeited the right of protection under the coiii-titution. They know slavery deserves to die, but resort to this bugaboo in order to frighten: weak men and old women, into a reprieve, the end that slavery may live to lift them again into power Xow in order to show that the democratic, or pro-slavery party the party in favor of amalgamation, and have practiced it since tho foundation of the government, we refer to the United States Censui of 18f)0. It of course unnecee- 8Rry for us to Bay that mulattoes are thi result of-practical amalgamation.

Everybody knows how malattoes are 60 if we can find where the mulattoes (ire, there we shall find tho genuine anml- gflmntioniBts. By the ceneua wo find thai the number of inu'attoes, in relation to population, in the States mentioned below, stood as follows 'Ree FromeiiBde' 'of Oovrl-nmcnt Coitbn-The -Weather. fEditorlal of the WiJCOnBtnl.

So it appears that Virginia had 23,272 more mulattoes than all tin; free Stales together.

Republicans have not been allowed to live in Virginia. It Btnuiln to reason, then, that tliey have not made these mulattoes. They are the offspring of secessionists, Copperheads, democrats. There is no mistake about it. The conclusion is inevitable.

But wn have not made the case lib strong it is susceptible. Had we tbe time, -we could show by tV same immutable, tables, that four-fifths of the mulattoes enumerated in the fren Stuten, li'fi their fond white fathers in the sunny South, when they shook ofl' their fetters and turned freedomward. It was once popular to oppose interference with slavery bccauoe of the. vested rights of the nlaveholder in his property. Now the slaveholders have forfeited nil claim upon the slave by the.

act of sects- nion and rebellion. Kven acknowledge Blaveiy the basis and substratum of the rebellion. Still thov wii-b to save it for political purposes, and do BO by appealing to tho instinctive horror the "Northern peopln have of amalgamation. We have shown that the practical ainalgiims.tioni»ts are the elave- holdCTB themselves. The North never hne and never will piactice it.

Finally, -WP slnll Bee, after slavery it abolished in fuel, as -well as in theory, and every black woman has the disposal of her own peraon, unrestrained by tht lords of the lash," that there will be K'M- aod lees mulattoes In the South. While slavery lasted, both the avarice and pas- BIOU oi the slaveholder worked for amalgamation. A mulatto waa worth more thnn a pure black man hence tbe startling facts in the table we have prepared. Htreafter, if any Coppeiheud moralift preaches opposition to emancipation on the ground of his opposition to a mixture of blood, we trust ths readers of the COUSIN will invite him to read ihis article view. Hence there was no effort at display.

The' horses were generally good and in fair condition. Oats here corn- command S1.50 per bushel, and hay $5( a ton. So that the reader can undertstanc that thonsaads of cavalry in the Depart- mtfnt of the Gulf are expensive institu tion. But Gen. BANKS designs to mouni so many of his infantry as to clear Texai of rebel armies.

Good judges here say that with 15,000 horsemen we can secure tbe country from the Mississippi to th Rio' Grande. The design is to finish th war in this Department before tho 1st July. G'en. LEE has fortunately been selected to command the are ill fact mounted infantry. Gen.

LEE is a young man from lovra; but has made ft most brilliant mark in Grant's campaigns He is justly regarded as one of the bet cavalry officers in the United States. IB a modest, earnest looking man, whom you are attracted by a sort magnetism. Gen. LKB attend Dick Taylov, Magruder, Price, Holmes Marmnduke, The weather is now very fine for campaigning, that it is un fortunate that the cavalry are not ready to move. Their borees need instruction even more than the men.

It requires time to educate a cavalry horse. I noticed yesterday how difficult it was to keep in line.

In MI perceire by the acts of the last Michigan Legislature, that the people of.ee veral cities, counties and towns are authorized to loan their credit to certain railroads. Now we have always advocated the construction of all needfal railroads, in all parti of the countiy, as necessary auxiliary to the Bpeedy and rapid development of its re, sources. But this system of municipal ad has brought discredit and disgrace upon aU moat every city In Wisconsin. If our! Mich igan neighbors have any ready to put Into needful railroads, let' them ipend it they choose, but to berrow money In the manner proposed will surely prove the ruia of the credit of any town or city that goes Into it.

Higher and higher, and wider nnd wider, they with a crackling and noise, till in a few moments all that had been our little world, and whkh had been erected at so much labor and expense, was wrapped in one mighty conflagration. Tho. scarlet flames leaped and danced upon tha pitchy back-ground like gigantic demons exulting over the destruction of the works of mpn. The expansion of the heated air soon caused a rushing wind to sweep over the place, that sounded to our ears like an angry sea lashing a rocky shore.

It wag the grandeFt spectacle I ever witnessed, for tha light materials of which our storehouses, larracks, officers' quarters, and stables were constructed, burned like pine shingles.
