The rn tu rc of thc Emancipated Slaves. Revolution never go backward, but ever move onward. The struggle through which these States have just passed may be ended as far as the clash of arms is concerned, but, gays a Southern cetemporary, some of the marked results to flow from.it are not yet perceptible. Tho history of the past will teach us that important changes are to take place in the condition of thia people within ?th* next qoarter of a century-changea, too that are scarcely imagined by any of ua. The rapidity with which the . American colonies were peopled, the .-manner atm* ex tent of the development of the resources of tho country since the revolution that resulted in our independence, are among thc moat astonishing things in history. One of the greatest nationi of the earth, one.of the firet war powers of the wurld, built op in three quarters of a century. Just think of it ! and compare our risc and progress with thc rise and progress of thc older powers of Eu rope. But thc advantages of our climate, soil, and general resource^ enabla us to rob them of theil greatest source of wealth, their brain and muacle. Eror since the Eden America was thrown open to the down-trod den and oppressed of the old eouatrj> a con stant stream of immigrationvhas been flow ing from the old to tho sew world,*which is increasing rather than diminishing ia volume And can we stop _t? As well attempt tc still thc robing billows of the ocean ? This stream of humanity wjll flow on, on, and on, and when Europe sud the North shall have mad? a Now England ot all the territory lying be yond tue Mississippi, and Bottled the new va cant lands to the Rocky Mountains and be yond, the stream will still flow on, and new^ territories will be discovered,annexed, settled, and tba Yankee energy and American civili zation will ?till press forward toward the set ting sun. Wars, rebellions will not stop it, .ucceadiug shock orconvukion the mighty torrent will only increase in strength and power. Thc introduction of African slavery iuto this country by our ancesters, is their sin, not ours. It has caused much suffering to the white race, hui kept many of them in igno rance aud poverty, and retailed the develan u t of the resources bf those States that have nurtured it and kept it alive. Whether it bas benefitted thc black man or not, is an abstract question that we do not care to dis cuss ; but results have shown that, ai a slave or freeman, the African bas been in the white man's way. - Thc red man, the original proprietor of this vast country, gave way before the trcivd of his more provident and enlightened pale faced brother, and following the setting sun, as our civilization advanced, there are now but few traces to uotc the tact that he hrs ever boen here. This country was his by the right of long and undisputed possession, but when the tide of immigration turned West ward from thc Old World, he began to rscedo, and in a remarkably short time, if compared with tho history of nation*, -he disappeared, and tn the forest wilds, where but aa yester day he Jidd undisputed sway, now .the pale face is monarch of all he surveys. . Slavery was introduced into th* New Eng land and other Northern States for gain. Our ancestors cared no more for the black man than we of the South did when we held them as slavos, and we eared but precious little beyond the property that was in them. But why did our Puritan ancestry rid them selves of this moral, social and political evil ? Was it humanity-philanthropy ? Not a bit of it. Thc slave and thc negro was rooted out of Now England and the North just as they will be, within the next-half century, out of all the country E.ist of thc Mississip pi, to make room fur the immense flow of white men from the old world, of which we have spoken. Slavery waa abolished, -and the negro has become extinct in tin Northern States, because the superior rac?-the whites -rushed there i.: .inch numbers as to supply all the wauts ol the country as-to labor io all thc departments of business and commerce. As thia stream of humanity from Europe poured into the Northern Stut*a, slavery aud tho black mau had to give way before it and move down S >uth, ami now that tho prowess ol tho Northman bas crusbfc.l eboVery and opened these Southern St al-s to tbe flood of immigration which is evor moving onward, the thickly popnlaled cities, town* and dis tricts ot" the whole North wiil throw their surplu3 population upon Ui. Thc poor uill come in search of labor,, those ol' small capi tal will come to better their Condition, and the capitalist wiil eOme to invest jjmd within ten or twenty years, two-thirds ol' the .South ern States will chango hands, our population will be doubled or itt bled, white laborers will abound, and the nygroes will move South ward, until within thirty years they will be as scarce here as they, aro in tho Northern Sutes uow.

' On tho 10th inst,, the President delivered to sotne regiments of blacks, juat prior to their mustering out an address, a synopsis' .whereof has already been given, but of which the following is a full report: MY FRIEKDS-My object in presenting my self before you on this occasion is simply to thank you, members of one of the colored regiments winch ha* been in the se"rvice of the-couutry to sustain and carry ita banner and its laws triumphantly in every part of this broad land. I repeat that I appear Before you on the present occasion, merely to tender you thanks for tbc compliment you haye paid me on your-return home to again be associa led with your friends and your relations and those you hold most sacred and dear. I re peat I havo but little to say. It being unu sual in this Government and in most of."the other governments to have colored troops en gaged in their service, you have gone fofth, as events have shown, and served with pa tience and euduranco iu the cause of your country. This is your country as .well as anybody else's country. (Cheer?) This is the country in which you expect to live and in which you should expect to do something by your oxauvplo in civil life, aa you. bavo done in the field. This country is founded upon, the principles, of equality, and at the same - time the Btandard by which persons are to be estimated ia according to their merit and their worth jard you have observed no doubt that for him who does his duty faithfully and honestly there is always a just public judg ment that will appreciate and measure eut to him his proper reward. You have been engaged in the effort to sustain your country in the past. "Bat the futuro is tpore important to you than the pe riod in which you have just been engaged. One great question has be*n settled in this Government, and that is the question of sla very. The institution of slavery made war against the United States, and the United' States has li fte ? its strong arms in vindication of the Government and of free government, and in lifting that arm and appealing to the God ef Battles it has been decided that the institution of slu?ery must go down. (Cheers.) This has been ?one ; and the Goddess of L b arty,, in boaring witness over many of our battle ? fields since the struggle commenced, has made her loftiest flight, and proclaimed that true liberty has been established upon a more permanent and enduring basis than heretofore. (Applause.) But this is not all ; and as you have paid me the compliment to call upon m?, I shall take the privilege of saying one or two words as I am before you. I repeat ' that. it is not all, _Now_when the sword is returned .to its scabbard ; when your arms aro reversed and the olive branch of peace is extended, as I remarked before, resentment aud revenge should subside. Then what is to follow ? You do understand, no doubt, and if you do not, you cannot under stand too soon, that simple liberty does not mean the privilege of going into tho battle field or iuto tho service of the co'untry as a soldier; Liberty is uot a mere idea, a mere vagary. It is an idea or it is a reality j and when you como to examine thi* question of liberty you will be mistaken in a mere idea for th&reali ty. It does not consist in idleness. Liberty does not consist \a b?iug worthless. Liberty does not consist in doing all things as wc please; and there can be no liberty without law. In a government of freedom and of ' liberty there rnuBt-be law, and there must be obedienceand submission to tho law withoin . regard to color. (Cheers.) Liberty, (and maj' I not call you my countrymen ?), liberty con sists in the glorious privileges of work ; of pursuing the ordinary avocations of peaco with industry and with economy; and that being done, all those who haye been indus trious and economical are permitted to ap propriate and enjoy the products of their own labor. (Cheers.) This U one of the great blessings of freedom ; and heuce we-might ask the question, and answer it- by stating that liberty means freedom-to work and en joy the producta of your own labor. You will soon be, mustered out of the ranks, lt is for you to e*,tcbli?h. the great fact that you are lit and qualified to be free. Hence free dom is-not a mete idea, but is something that exists in fact. Freedom ia not ?imply the privilege to live in idleness ; liberty does uot mean simply to resort to the low saloons and other places of disreputable character: Free dom and liberty do uot mean that the people ought to live in licentiousness ; but liberty means simply to be industrious, to be virtu , otis, to be upright iu all our dealings and re lations with men ; and to those now before me, members ol' the first regiment bf colored volunteers from the District of Columbia and the Capital of tile. United ??tates, I have to say that a great deal depends npou yourselves* You must give evidence that you are compe tent for the rig Lt.- that the Government has guaranteed to yora. - Henceforth - each and all of you must be measured according to your merit. If one mao is more meritorius than the other they cunnot be equals ; and he ia the most exalted that is the most meritorious, without regard to color. And the idea of huviug a law passed in the morning that will make a white .mau a black man before night, and a black man a white.man before day, is ubsuid. That is not the standard. It ia your-own conduit i it is your own merit ; it id the development ot your, own talents and of jour own intellectuality and moral quali ties. Let thia, then, be your course. Adopt a system of morality, abstain from ali licen tiousness. There is a great problem before us, and I may as well allude to it here in this connec tion ; and that ?a, whether this race can be incorporated and mixed wita the people of th o United- States, to be made - a harmonious and permanent ingredient! in the population. This is a greatjjroblcm not yet settled; but we aro in the right line to dp so. Slavery raised ita head against the Government, and the jGovernmant raised its strong arm and strack it to the ground. So that part of the problem is settled ; the institution of slavery is overthrown. ' Bat another part remaips to bc solved; and that is, can four millions of pe?mle, raised as they havo been with all the. prejudices of the whites, can they take their places in .the. community and bo made to werk harmoniously and f OagruouBly in our fj?tprn? ;Th?s.is a problem to be considered. Are the digestive powers of the American Government sufficient to receive this element ru a new shape and digest it and make it work healthfully upon the system that has incorporated .it? This i3.the question to bo determined. Let us make the experiment; and make it in good faith. If'thar cannot be done there is another problem that is before us. If we have to be come a separate and distinct people (although I trust that the system can be made' to work harmoniously and that the great problem will be settled without going auy further) if. it .should be so that the two races .cannot agree abd.-live in peace and prosperity, and the', laws of providence require that they should be. separated-in that event, looking to the far distant future and trusting that it may never/ceme-if it should come, Provi dence that works mysteriously, but unerring ly and certainly, will point out the way and the mode and the manner by which these 1 people are to bo separated, and they are to ? be taken to their land' of inheritance and j promise ; for such a one iii before them: , He ii CG we arc making the experiment. Hence , let me impress upon you the importance of . controlling'your'passions, developing your in iel I eat and of applying your physical pow ers to tho industrial interests of tho country ; . and that ia the true process by which this . question can be settled. . Be patient, perse- j vering and fobearing, and you wil?helpio | solve the problem. i Go to your homes and lead practical, pros- i perous and.happy lives, in peace with all men. ; Give utterance to no word that would cause dissensions; but do that which will be cred- ' i table to yourselves and to your country. To : the officers who have led and so nobly com; ; manded you .in the field, I also return my thanks for tho compliment you have conferred ? upou me. -;-er-*-1- i ATTEMPTED ESCAPE or Da. MODD.-The prisoners at the Tortugas are allowed the liberty bf ts?r; island except on the day of a vessel's departure. At night they are expect- , ed to sleep within the'fort. The night previ ous to the return of the T. A. Scott, Dr. , Mudd, one of tho Lincoln conspirators, slept outsido the fort, in ? shed, and the next morning he quietly walked on board the steamer, disappeared into the lowest deck and sent a Arc man for Quartermaster Kelly. This was the.last that was seen of him. Soon after bc was missed at the fort, and an officer and pquad waa sent down to search the vessel. On the very bottom of the vesBcl lay a platform resting on two cross beams; the officer thrust his rword under one.side, and the colored aoldier inserted a bayonet under the other. The roar of paiq that immediate* ly rose told that both sword and bayonet had reached their mark ; the platform was raised and Dr. Mudd arose and returned to his status of a captive prisoner. Be was immediately taken, tb the fort and the thumb, scrows ap plied to him, and under thc pressure of pain, he acknowledged that Kelly, with whom he had. formed an acquaintance within a few days, had agreed to help him to escape on ? tho promise of receiving Mudda gold watch. Kelly was theroupou marched to tho fort, a drum-bead court martial held, and he was sentenced to six'years imprisonment and hard labor in the Tortugas. Thc vessel then aailed ' without Mudd or Kelly, and thc papers were forwarded to Washington for confirmation. .-. THE REUNION OF TUE METHODIST EPISCO PAL CflDKcn, NoKTfl AND SOUTH.-A corres pondent of the Philadelphia Lcdy?r states that Rev. Dr. Newman, of tho Northern Methodist Episcopal Church, has bad an in terview with President Johnson " with refer ence to securing, if possible, one of the Mnth o J ist churches of New Orleans,, for the us<; of those who have attended upon his. preaching during the past two years in that city." T?e Doctor is represented as urging upon the President the argument that *' it is no mor? than right that ono bf the three Methodist Episcopal churches of that cit} should bo set apart for," and " that the edifice should be known'as the property , of, the Northern Church." . Dot to this Mr. Johnson decided ly objected. He considered ?-he churches the rightful property of the trustees, and if1 the Methodists of the North were anxious for our church al the South/ "the beat way for thom was to come together." 8???
