Slavery in Kentucky.
The industrial system 'of Kentucky
3s disorganized. Slavery, legally esta
blished, is virtually abolished, and the
slave-owners and slaves are beginning to
feel all the evils of the system, with none
of its advantages. The first hold a barren
sceptre; they are responsible to the law
for the good conduct and support of slaves
Whom they are unable to control, and pos
sess valuable plantations they are unalile
to work. The slaves who are able to work
will not stay in 'slavery, and, with little
opposition, emigrate in large numbers to
free States, where they will be paid for
■their labor. This leaves the helpless women
and children, and aged negroes, to be sup
ported by their owners; and in many
cases, from- the inability to provide for
them, Urey are turned away to take care
of themselves—in other words, to beg,
pilfer, or live by petty jobs. Such a con
dition is the natural result of the refu
sal of the influential slaveholders to
part with a system which is no longer
productive of wealth, and simply a general
encumbrance. Its removal must precede
the restoration of the prosperity of Ken
tucky, and we are glad to find that the
leading men and journals of the State un
derstand this necessity. Our Kentucky ex
changes are earnestly advocating a speedy
reform, .and the Louisville Journal , now
entering on a nobler course, has ably shown
how the removal of-this great social evil
may he at least partially effected. The
question immediately before the peo
ple is not the ultimate and complete abo
lition -of slavery, which is inevitable in
a few years; they are forced at once to
decide what they shall do to prevent the
exodus of their laboring classes, and how
they shall prevent an immeSse number of
non-producers from becoming vagrants,
and embarrassing the whole State with
beggary.
The Slate Constitution Of Kentucky
says: “ The General Assembly shall have
no power to pass laws for the emancipation
of slaves without the consent of their owners,
or without paying their owners previous’to
such emancipation a full equivalent in
money for the slaves bo emancipated, and
providing for their removal from the State. ’ ’
Of course compensation is impossible.
Kentucky, thanks to slavery, is not in
a condition to purchase her own slaves
and free them, and,..according to her Con
stitution, slavery cannot be abolished by a
Convention before five years. Nor will
the' amendment to the Constitution of the
United States, prohibiting slavery, certain
to be passed by the nexfCongress if not by.
this, be enforced in time to relieve Ken
tucky from her present troubles. It follows
that the responsibility rests with the slave
holders. 'With their consent, the Legisla
ture has the power to emancipate the slaves
without removing them from the State,
and if they prefer their prejudices to their
interests they will be eager to give it.
Their working slaves are emigrating con
stantly ; the non-workers are a burden or a'
pest; their plantations are idle; their in
comes reduced, and their .only hope is the
abolition of a system dead for profit but
alive for trouble, and the substitution of
of compensated labor. Kentucky,
even if she cannot at once imitate the ac
tion of Maryland, may profit by her ex
ample.
Street Cars and the Bights of Citizens.
The pis- slavery rule which still disgraces
the government of the city railroads cannot
long he maintained in opposition to the
judgment of the public. Wholesale pro
scription of any class of citizens cannot be
tamely endured, and the exclusion of co-
lored people from the cars is a piece of.
unmitigated injustice. This rule makes',
no exceptions. Whatever may be the con
dition of colored men or women, they are
rigorously excluded, solely'because of their
color. The intelligence, education,, and
courtesy of many of our colored citizens
obtain them the ordinary consideration
common in respectable society, but are not
respected in the - rules of the street cars.
Age has no indulgence, lpyalty.no reward,
sex no respect, in these rules; and, far
worse than this, they are enforced in scorn
of justice. While all colored men, wo
men, and children are refused admittance
to the cars, or expelled from the very plat
forms at the pleasure of the conductors, the
worst classes of whites may ride. It is a
common thing in the cars to see the rules
which forbid smoking violated with the
full knowledge of the conductors ; to hear
men swearing and using improper language
in the presence of ladies; to he annoyed
by the disgusting behavior of intoxicated
persons ; to have women of the town take
places by respectable ladies. These annoy
ances are as common in the street cars as
in the streets, and yet the mles which ex
clude all colored persons are justified on
the pretext that they protect the comfort of
passengers.
The rights of colored persons in. city
cars recently received acknowledgment
from .-Judge Pratt, of San Francisco,
whose decision we print in another co
lumn. His answer to • the argument that
railroad companies have a right to manage
their own affairs is excellent. That he ad
mits, hut shows that they have no right to
manage the affairs of the general public,
which is exactly what they attempt to
do by the exclusion of colored people.
"Where will they find the right to make such
distinctions between one citizen and another
on the ground of color? They are constituted
common carriers by the law, and violate it
.daily in the enforcement of their, rules.
Judge Pbatt well says that the only justi
fication of the rules the railroad, companies
have adopted would be legislation au
thorizing the exclusion of colored people,
and’ that, until such authority has been
given, the color of a man’s skin is illegal
reason for expelling him from a ear. If
the,colored people of this city are in -ear
nest, and wou'd maintain their self respect,
they must not cease to urge their civil
-rights. Not only justice but law is upon
their side in this dispute, and their cause
will be warmly sustained by allwho despise
prejudice [and the petty, iiM&nßisteiit tyran
ny of these anti-Bepublican rule's. ■
'The First Veteran Army Corps.
By,the beginning of January General
Hancock is likely to have, an army corps
unsurpassed in strength and value. The
War Department ordered that the Ist Ve
teran Army Corps should consist of twenty
thousand men, and that none should be
accepted except those who had served
, honorably not less than two years; limited
enlistments from December 1 to January
1, the term of service to one year, and
offered a bounty of three hundred dollars
to each volunteer, payable when he is mus
tered in. The popularity of such a corps
will be immense; veterans who .would be
reluctant to enlist in new regiments will
eagerly join the rally of their old comrades,
and proudly serve under the gallant and dis
tinguished Hancock. It will be the Old
Guard of the Union army—every man an
accomplished soldier, baptized in bat
tle, knowing his duty and able to do it,
and the whole force self-reliant, experi
enced, and in earnest. General Hancock
will call around him the best fighting ma
terial -of the North, the veterans who,
having already fought so . well for the
Union, want to he in at the death of the
Bebelhon. It is not surprising that the rate
of enlistments in the Old Guard already
promises to fill the ranks by the end of the
month. About six hundred and fifty men
daily will complete the organization.
We are gjptified to learn that Mr. Bout,
B. Cobbon, of this city, has been appointed
an,- aid upon the staff of the Governor of
New Hampshire, with the rank of colonel,
and that'he has had conferred upon him,
by the Governor of Ehode Island, the rank
of lieutenant colonel. From the commence
ment of the war, Mr. Cobbon has devoted
himself zealously to the cause of the soldier.
One of the most active in the organization
pnd management of the Volunteer Refresh-
ment Saloon, he has contributed not a little
towards giving Philadelphia the reputation
she enjoys for generous hospitality to regi
ments in transit. His efficiency as an officer
of the Supervisory Committee, of this city,
for raising colored troops, is well known
by the gentlemen who have been his co
laborers in that cause. But the work to
which Mr. Corson has chiefly put his
hand, and to which he has given night and
day, is the performance of his duty as
military agent for the New England States,
whose office it is to have the care of sick
and wounded soldiers from that section
Who may lie in our various hospitals. The
services rendered by him can only be ap
preciated by the soldiers themselves; the
recognition of them by the above-named
Governors is manifested in the rank con
ferred.
Sherman’s March.
PUKOUI-ATTONS CONCBBNINU HIS BBOENT MOVE
MENTS—PARIKN, BRUNSWICK, SAVANNAH, AKD
BEACBOET.
Admittedly, General Sherman Is nearing the
Georgia ooast, and, perhaps, as we write, is. within
sieging- point of Savannah, from whioh he was lately
reported, upon random testimony, to be bnt six
miles away. At all events, it seems established that
Sherman’s object Is still, as It has ever been, Sa
vannah. We emphasize this fact, because tho Geor
gia press in general, and a Richmond organ of the re
bel oligarchy, appeared lately to believe that ho had
been compelled, In view of th o formidable character
of his reception on tho road towards Savannah,'
to divert his original aim toward Darien or Bruns
wick. On tho contrary, Sherman’s main body has
been marching between theOgeeoheeand Savannah
rivers, taking the ridge of landfianked on both sidos
by the great river marshes. The junction of Mb
forces at Milton settles the question of Ms purpose
on Savannah. The Darien or Brunswick theory
may be explained by supposing that Sherman
threatened the line of eommunioation running to
ward Florida, from Savannah, with the intention of
diverting dr baffling the enemy, and making safe
every road leading to the destined city. The line
we have indicated rnns to Brunswick, fifty miles be
low Savannah, where, if failing in his main object,
the rebels Imagined Sherman could open oommuni*
tion-with the fleet, Darien is a point on theooast
nearer to Savannah, and conneating with the
Brunswiok Railroad by country roads. Sherman
has evidently no need of either of these places, un
less he be defeated {wMch he is not), or encounters
difficulties sufficient to force him to make atardy
siege of Savannah—in which case he would require
seme point of communication on the coast. The
Darien speculation, however,.is no longer of service.
A JUNCTION WITH POSTER,
The junction of Sherman’s forces at Milton ap
pears to have determined his object In the minds of
the Georgians. The Richmond papers, which have
gathered the latest intelligence from the press of
Charleston, Savannah, and Augusta, grant that
our army is fast approacMng the coast, bnt cannot
teU whether Sherman will be able to make a junc
tion with Foster near Grahamviiles, and, with Beau
fort as a base of operations, more on Savannah, or
lay direct siege to tho city. Should he try the latter
experiment he is threatened with an accumulated
opposition of which he has not yet dreamed, in the
former case he will move to out Savannah off from
all communication northward, preparatory to taking
it. Sherman,-it is understood, has the combined
skill of Generalissimos Bragg and Beauregard,
Lieutenant Generals Hardee and Dick Taylor, Ma
jor Generals Wads'Hampton, Wheeler, and Gusta
vos Smith, and Brigadiers Wayne, PMIHps, and
Cobb to oppose Mm. An army proportionate to tMs
array of generals would be formidable. The great
battle expected has perhaps already taken place.
‘-'Let him do what he-will,” says the Rich
mond Examiner, “he will certainly ieel that
never was general In a more critical situation.”
With all this, it seems to be admitted that Sherman
has passed the point or crisis marked out for him,'
and that his army Is la splendid condition, “admira
bly clothed and appointed, each man having eighty
rounds of ammunition,”, and “tho wagons contain
ing fixed material without stint,” and “rations for
forty days.”
SHBBMAH WAITBD 808 BY THE TIBET—BEAUFORT
OB SAVAHHAH 1
“ General Sherman is at last approaching the
coast, whither he has been travelling twenty-three
days,” says the Richmond Examiner of Deoembor T.
For five days, up to Friday week, (says the Rich
mond Dispatch,) Sherman’S average marching has
been only five miles per day—a delay most danger
ous to him. He has wasted too much time to think
now; about obliquing to his right and marching for
Brunswick, on the Georgia coast, and must of ne
cessity strike for Savannah or Beaufort, South Oa
rolina, the nearest point. He was expected by the
Jlcct at Savannah as early as Sunday, the 26th, and all
that night the Federal shipping was throwing up
signal rockets for his information. He had not got
ten further, if as far, as Milieu on tha second day of
the month—last Friday*- Ail the ferries on the Sa
vannah are guarded. •
HIS HUMESES AM» OEOOEAPHIOAL POSIT! ON.
The Georgia papers inform us that there is much
straggling from Sherman’s army, whioh is estimated
at 30,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry. The situation
thus far placcß him between the Ogechee and Savannah
rivers, in the neighborhood of Mitten, the junction of
the road from Augusta with the road from Savannah
to Macon. Milieu is seventy-nine miles from Sa
vannah and fifty-throe from Augusta. Sherman’s
situation is a very difficult one for a forward move,
ment in any direction, -"He seems father to have
thrown himself out of the road to any point south of
Savannah. "But if he march on that attempt
to cross,tile Savannah river and strike for Beaufort, he
will encounter difficulties which we can scarcely sup
pose he would voluntarily confront" His road will
Tie through marshes, and easy or obstruction. The
Savannah river is ours, and the ferries are guarded.
Whether he will attempt to break through these
obstacles or encounter others scarcely less formi
dable, it may be farther South, this week will pro - '
bably determine.
IHOIDBNTS OP THE MAECH—OH TO SAVAHHAH.
in Sherman’s route from Milledgeville (so we
gather from the Chronicle and Sentinel of Augusta),
Ms army destroyed, as far as possible, all mills,
oilbs, and gin-houses, cotton screws, cotton imple
ments, etc., and carried off all stoch, provisions,
and negroes.
At EatonvJHeover one hundred horses, which had
given ont, were killed. The road along was-! 1 strewn
with dead negro women and children”,—a statement
calculated to frighten the slaves. At Montlcollo a
man by the name of Smith was hong. A large,
quantity of ungathered corn was spared, but “there
it not a horse or cos in the country round.” Thearmy
was under strict dlsoipline, and when privates were,
found.depredating on private property they were
severely punished by order of Sherman. Stragglers
committed depredations with impunity, but Gon.
Slocum gave orders to the citizens along the route
to shoot them down without .mercy, and sometimes
the plunderers were whipped. Great astonishment
was expressed at the richness of the country. The
town of Forsyth was reported demolished bythe
right wing of the Federal army, under Howard,
which crossed the Ocmulgee between Adams’ Ferry
and Macon. Rebel soldiers captured were Invari
ably treated as prisoners of war.
It may be conjectured from these items that the
Georgians do;not entertain the worst opinion of
Sherman, and that he las conducted his march
with excellent system and order.
But another story Is published In a later number
of one of the Georgia papers, in which It Is stated,
upon no puthority whatever, that the Yankee sol
diers have used dreadful and nameless violence to
ward many women. Equally o’redlble with this is
the statement that the negroes are “desperately
afraid of their liberators.”
The campaign In Georgia ,1s not without its hu
mors. A droll story Is related in the Richmond
pipers, at the expense of General Anderson, of the
3d Brigade Georgia Militia, who was wounded at
Grlßwoldsvllle. His brigade suffered heavy loss;
and while he behaved gallantly, It is charged that
he acted rashly in attempting to storm breastworks
over an open field, with a morass Intervening, with
out reasonable prospect of success!

COMMODORE CRAVEN’S CONGRATULATIONS.
Commodore craven, of the United States ship
Niagara, In a letter to tho Navy Department, dated
at Antwerp, Not. 22, says: “On receiving the an
nouncement of the re-election of President Lin
coln we Immediately dressed our vessel with the
natlenartlag at her mast-heads. We considered
this to he the greatest and most Important contest
of the war, and moet glorious in Its results, I have
again dressed Bhlp to-day, and at noon fired a sa
lute of twenty-one guns. It Is, I believe, the first
time since our national existence that such a de
monstration was made by any of our ships, of war,
but the occasion seemed so momentous and all glo
rious to me that i cannot resist the Impulse to
, thus manifest my joy.”

this meaning along the Vaughn road towards Hatch

i'erday. The force consisted- of detachments from
several regiments of cavalry under Colonel Ktr
win, of the 13Ul Pennsylvania, and three, brigades
of the Ist Divlson of the 2d Corps, under General
Miles.
The videttes of the enemy were driven across the
run, when a sharp fire was opened on the advance
from a line of breastworks on.the opposite side.
Afterspme skirmishing to discover the strength of
the enemy, a charge was made across the run, and
the works were carried by assault, but not rill the
rebels had made good their retreat up the south
side. Our men took position in the captured en
trenchments, while skirmishers were thrown out on
both flanks. ■ ,
Soon, after a report came that the enemywere
moving up and across tho run, half a mile west of
the road our troops were on, evincing an intention
to attack on the right flank. Gen. Miles at once
disposed Ms command to receive them If they should
attempt it. He also went back for reinforcements,
which were- given him at once; but the enemy did
not make their appearance during the afternoon,'
and it fs believed they fell baok to a stronger post-,

The impression Is that they had no large force in
the vicinity, otherwise they would have made a
more'stubbom resistance to our advancer Our loss
in the charge was 17 men wounded, and among
them Lieut. Word, of the 3d Pennsylvania Cavalry.
The loss of the enemy is not known. If they had

. “It Is reported In reliable military circles that inform

crossed the Ogeob.ee canal, and appeared in therear
of Savannah at two points on Thursday.. It Is re
ported that one portion of the forge dashed into and

SENDING TROOPB TO GEORGIA.
Washington, Deo. 10.—It Is reported direct from
General Giant’B army, that on Wednesday the re
bels had Information that Sherman’s advance was
within six miles of Savannah. At this point he had
'halted, and was awaiting the arrival of certain por
tions of his command which had been sent in dif
ferent directions for the purpose of misleading the'
enemy. Deserters who gave this Information also
state that there Is great dissatisfaction in the rebel
ranks, heoause; correct Information of Sherman’s
movements is withheld from, them. Especially Is
this so among the Georgia troops. They also report
that many of our prisoners have escaped from their
confinement, and joined Sherman. It was also evi
dent from the conversation of these deserters, that
Lee had detached troops from Ms army and sent
them to Georgia towwjsist in arresting Sherman’s
advance. It Is not too great an Inference to draw
ftom the above facts, that ere tMs Sherman has
thundered at the gates of Savannah,.and most pro
bably with success. ■

Foster’s advance, together with bis sending up
signals, indicates that he expected to meet Sher

point to be gained by the capture of Grahamjville
was to cut off reinforcements from Augusta.-to Sa

Fobbebt’b. “ Othello,”—Thisevening and to
morrow evening Mr. Forrest win perform one: of his
most impressive characters. What was thought of
It on Um stage of Kean, Kemble, and Garrick map
be judged by the following:
[From tie London Globe, Oct. 25, 1845. ]
“Accordingly, last night Mr. Forrest selected as
his second character the fiery Othello, the Moor,
‘ who loved not wisely but too well. 1 There was
nobly daring in this flight-go soon, too.
after he whose voice sail dwells upon all ears tad
passed away from among us.; to essay any character
before anEnglteh audience in which Edmund Koan
was remembered, was Itself no slight ambition, no
tMing indication of that self-confidence which,
when necessary, true genius can manifest; but to
make that attempt in Othello was, indeed, great da
rlpg. And nobly, we feel proud to say, did the per
formance bear out the promise. ■
“ There were, it is passages like Kean, be
cause the acting of Kean therein was Nature’s self,
and It gave proof of a courageous as well as a dls
crimlßatlsgmind,that his successor did not over
step Nature because Kean kad.gone before him, or
abandon the course she pointed out, with the igno
ble aim of pleasing thodb little-minded critics, who,
unable to appreciate genius, or recognise Its truest
instincts, catch at the minor points of criticism, of
which alone their shallow minds are capable: and
because two men of gifted minds adopt the same
reading of the part, and similarly embody it into
acHon, cry out * Imitation’—this is the cant of
criticism at whlob our English Rabelais so pronerlv
** F6rreßt for
.“The third act was. a splendid presentment
throughout: be had evidentlystudledthe charac
ter with the judgment oFa scholar, 1 and a ripe and
•good one’—each, shadeof the jealous character of
the easy Moor, from the first faint guessings at bis
temptbr’s meaning to the full convlotion or his
wife's dishonesty, were brought out with the touch
of the master.hand, and embodied with a skill
equalling that of any actor we have seen, and far.
very far superior to the manner in which any other
.of our living performers oould attempt It. This
third act alone would have placed Mr. Forrest In
the foremost rank of his profession, had he never
done anything else; and so his kindling audience
seemed to feel, as much In thedeep watching silence
of. their attention, as in the tremendous plaudits
which hailed what on the stage aro teohlcally called
4 the points 1 ho made.
' “In the two Succeeding actshe was equally great
in the passages which called forth the burning
passions of Sis fiery soul But we shall nofcat
present particularize; where sJ.I was soodit would. be
difficult, and we have already nearly run through
Ihe dictionary of panegyrio. We shall, howevw,
make It a point to see the Character again; for. in
accordance with aburst of applause suoh as seldom
follows the fall of the curtain, Mr. Cooper an
nounced ‘ Othello ’ for repetition on Wednesday
and Friday.” 1
Tins Classical Soibebs op Wolpsobh Arm
Thomas.—The first classical concert of Messrs.
Wolfsohn anifThomas took place on Saturday even
ing laSt at the Foyer or the Academy orMnslc.
Messrs. Wolfsohn and Thomas were assisted by
I Messrs. Kammerer and Ahrend, and the concert
1 was certainly one of the most successful of the sea- !
son. The programme of the evening contained a
duo for piano and violin by Schubert, which was
rendered most exquisitely by Messrs. Wolßohn and
Thomas. Mr. Wolfsohn also played his Transcrip
tion de Concert, or airs ftom Gounod’s Faust, and a
collection of six beautiful little pieces called “Al
bum Leaves,” composed by hlmaelf. Mr. Thomas
played 'Vieuxtempß’ Concersluck appassionato, one of
the most difficult compositions ever written for the
violin, and we may safely pronounce him the great
est violin-player in America, especially in classi
cal music. The evening’s entertainments con
cluded with R, Schumann’s quartette for string
instruments,- (op. 47,) in which ail the performers
took part, and which was rendered with unsurpass
able precision and brilliancy.

Gust. Roskouans Sufrrskdbd.—The rumor
which has been circulating in the city for several
days regarding the removal of General Rosßorans
from the Department of the Missouri isoonßrmed
as a faot by telegraphic announcement from Wash
ington Olty. He is superseded by Major General
Dodge, of lowa. General Rosoorans goes 'to Oin
cinnati, to report from there to Washington by
letter. To General Roseoranß it Is dun to say that
he will leave many friends among as. Few men
possess a happier faculty of winning the confidence
’and personal regard of those with whom ho Is
brought in contact. In matters of official labor, 16
is probable the Genoral’B habits and tastes better
adapt him to tho active duties of the field than snob
as ho has chiefly been called upon to perform In his
late position; Nevertheless, his course as com
mander of this department has’generally met the
approval of the loyal men of Missouri.—A7. Louis

Snwnto Machines pok Christmas Pbbsbhts.
—As sewing machines will undoubtedly form a pro
minent feature In the purchase of gifts for the
coming holidays, we would urge upon our readers
the propriety of selecting the best Jainlly machines.
At the head of the list stands the “ Grover a Baker”
Instrument, sold at 730 Chestnut street. These cele
brated machine*, as well as the work executed upon
them, have taken the highest premium wherever
they have been exhibited taoompeUtl«iwlth otiiers,
without a angle exception. For the following rea
sons, among'others, we would advise all purchasers,
of sewing machines to give the “ Grover & Baker”
the preference over all others :
- i. It makes Hie only seam formed by a sawing ma
chine In which eaoh stitch is Independently looked,
and without dependence upon the other stitches for
strength. *
2. It makes the imly seam that will admit of the
thread being cut at every fourth stitch without in
jury to the seam in wear.
3, It to fasten the ends of seams
made by this machine. This Is done by the machine
Itself, without the use of the hand needle.
4, The Cirover & Baker ‘stitch Is the only one
formed from two ordinary: spools, and without wlnd
ingfrom the spool into a shuttle from three to five
times for the nhder thread. • ,
~ -r— •*—»»* i
3. A seam thus formed is more elastic than any
other made by a sewing machine, and is consequent
ly very valuable in all goods that are to be washed
and stretched under the iron.
0. The machine is adapted to -all varieties of fa
tales, sewing each equally well, and requiring no
adjustment for any kind of sewing other than the
adaptation of needles and thread.
7. It is moroeasUj kept in order than any other
machine, and neddnot be taken apart to be oiled.
S. The machine sews common spool cotton, silk
and linen thread with equal facility., ,
9. The machine Is so simple that an Intelligent
child of ten years can readily learn to operate and
keep It In order.
10. Byreasoh of its simplicity of construction and
ease of management it is best adapted to all the
.wants of the family.
Buy the “ FtOKUNOB.”—This is the advice of
everybody who has now lie “ Florence ll In use, to
their friends In want of sewing machines. It Is,
without doubt, the most perfect Instrument for all
kinds of family sewing yet given to the publie, and
the fact that it is warranted to give perfect satisfac
tion .very naturally secures for it the largest sale.
The rooms of the agent, No. esa Chestnut street,
are dally thronged with customers. :
