CLEARFIELD, MARCH 19, 1862.
AND IT3PECULIAE1TIE3.
From the New Yoric Tribune
No one ttbo knows the American people
can fail to be convinced that tht main reason
why eo many of our loyal and patriot!. citi
zens are avers to sanction acy measures for
getting rid of Slavery is that the true charac
ter of tbe institution is very imperfectly un
derstood by those who are personally strangers
to its practice and effect. Could tbe thing it
self be once clearly seen in its naked deformi
ty, there is Dot an honest or even a moderate
ly decent man in the Republic, outside of the
vast pecuniary interests and influence which
sustain Slavery where it exists, who would not
unhesitatingly raise bis voice or give his vote
to hurry it to swilt destruction, as a curse, a
stigma, and a sLatne to Christian civilization.
Ent tbe public mind of tbe Free States has
been so artfully mystified by phrases, and de
nials, and protestations, and all manner of
special pleadings and sophistical cant, that
many well-meaning and not otherwise unin
telligent persons really believe that Slavery, if
not beneficent to the community at large, is
yet, after all, a harmless, easy, picturesque,
and patriarchal dispensation, sanctioned to
some extent by Scripture, and not offensive to
morals or to that common justice which all
admit ought to prevail between man and man.
To such people, the zeal and earnestness and
persistence of the opponents of Slavery are
utterly incomprehensible, because they have
no conception of the long and irresistible array
of facts on the subject which are constantly
present to tbe minds of Anti-Slavery men
who, for the most part, have themselves, at
some period of their lives, passed through
exactly similar states of blindness and misap
prehension, into the clear light of truth, where
the monster is visible in all its odious, dis
gusting, and alarming features.
As a specimen of one of these features, we
ask tbe attention of candid, thoughtful, and
decent men to the following extract from a
letter recently written to tbe Hon. V. D.
Kelley, a member of the House of Represen
tatives from Pennsylvania, by an officer of
Gen. Hooker's Division of the Array of the
Potomac, now stationed inMaryland. Judge
Kelley, who sends ns the extract, vouches in
tbe most emphatic terms for tbe high charac
ter and intelligence of his correspondent.
The date of the -letter is Feb. 26, 1862 :
"Col. M , as he is called, in accordance
with the general custom here of giving every
mm some title, and not, I believe, from any
military rank be may have held (though of
this 1 am not sure), is a man about 4o years
old, of considerable intelligence and wealth,
and, as I am informed, has traveled both in
this and other countries. He is a rather good
looking man, somewhat larger than tbe aver
age size of our people. He lives on what is
called Stump Neck, a peninsula between the
Mattawoman,Ch!camoxin, and Potomac rivers,
directly opposite to Cockpit Point, on the
Virginia side of tbe latter river. Stump Neck
contains something over 1,000 acres of good
land, and is, as a farm, kept in far better con
dition than most of tbe farms about- bore,
though it will not compare with what yon
would call a good farm in Pennsylvania. He
resides about the centre of the farm, in a small
frame house, such as any of our Northern
farmers who were at all in s thriving condition
would be ashamed to live in. By tbe side of
it are two log-houses, in which live his slaves,
as 1 suppose I must call them, according to
tbe laws of Maryland. Ilis barns are better
than bis bouses. This place is entirely away
from any road, and therefore svdom visited
Tbe Colonel is unmarried, but as the divine
declaration, that it is not good for man to be
alone,' holds good in regaid to him, as well as
others, be has tour female slaves who fulbll
the duties of wives to him. Now, the Colonel,
in his patriarchal relation, likes variety, and
so he has them of various huus and shades,
from a negroe np to a light quadroon. By
these women be has bad from twenty-five to
thirty children, but as tbe mothers differ in
complexion, so do the children, only with a
most decided improvement in the lightness of
tbe shading, from mulattoes up to pass-any-where-for-white
the children of the quad
roon woman, wife, or slave, whichever you
choose, having light, flaxen hair, and dark,
hazel eyes. The Colonel is also somewhat
couscientions in his attention to their dress,
the dark-skinned having very coarse clothing,
without such luxuries as shoes or stockings,
while there is a regular gradation to the light
est color they having both shoes and stockings
and very decent clothing. On a visit to the
place some time since, the children were
asked as to their paternity. They all si id
their mothers lived there, pointing to the log
house; but when asked who was their father,
one of tbe darkest boys said, 'Got no father,'
and one of tbe whitest children said, pointing
to tbe frame house. Ue lives there.' The
Colonel is also a good farmer, and knows that
it will not do to keep on hand too Iarg a
stock of cattle, fee, and so he regularly sells
off tbe increase of his farm as soon as it is
ready lor the market horses, mules, cattle,
pigs, and children. These last, however,
are the most profitable, or rather hare been so;
God grant it may be so no longer. Dr. Wood-
hull, formerly the Assistant Surgeon of tho
5tb New-Jersey Volunteers, now Surgeon of
tbe 9th New-Jersey Volunteers., was called
upon to attend the quadroon wife in her last
confinement, and learned many particulars in
regard to them. He was very favorably im
pressed with ber appearance, and considers
her a very intelligent woman. Now, I do not
know that I have in tbe least exaggerated in
this description, but on the contrary, have
softened it very much. It is not an excep
tional case, but a fair specimen of what can
be seen everywhere throughout the Southern
States. It has made almost every man in this
brigade a determined foe to Slavery. That a
man would sell his own children they had
thought was one of the Al edition lies, until
they bad the fact so thrust Into their faces
that it was impossible to doubt it."
Tbe scenes and practices here described are
well known to be common wherever Slavery
exists. Thousands and thousands of 'Stump
"Neck" farmers are scattered throughout the
South, on which coarse, profligate, and raer
cenary masters exercise for their own lust and
profit absolute dominion over human beings
whom they buy as readily as cattle, to an ex
tent limited only by their pecuniary means.
The possessor of a few thousand dollars may
be tbe meanest, the basest, tbe vilest, tbe
most ferocious and cruel of men. There is
nothing in tbe laws, or customs, or opinions
of tbe slave Mates to prevent him from be
coming the master and owner of men, women,
and children, and, if be chooses, secluding
tbem on some "Stump neck," far from any
traveled road and from any neighbors, and sub
jecting tbem without hinderance to ail that
bis corrupt appetites or infernal passions may
prompt. And yet Christian men and refined
and tender women hold np their hands in hor
ror at tbe proposition to deprive these rnf
flans of their dreadful power, and to take their
wretched victims out of tbe individual caprice
and interests, and put tbem under the common
protection of just and beneficent law. For
that, io substance, is all that is meant by
emancipation. It is simply to give to the ne
jrro what properly bolongs to him bis wife,
his children, and bis earnings instead of
leaving him to be used as a beast for tbe pleas
ure, profit and convenience of fellows like Col.

original engravings of new. inventions and dis
coveries, all of which are prepared expressly for

during the previous week ; thus giving a correct
history of the progress of inventions in this coun
try. We are also receiving every wees, the best
scientific journals of Great Britain, France and

1VEW-YOKK TRIHUN E NEW VOLUME
ll On the seventh of September, 1861, THE
NEW-YORK WEEKLY TRIBUNEcommenced the
twenty-first year of its existence; the THE DAI
LY TRIBUNE being some months older and THE
SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE somewhat younger.
For more than twenty years, this journal has la
bored in what its conductors have felt to be the
cause of Humanity. Justice and Freedom, endeav
oring to meliorate the condition of the oppressed
and unfortunate, to honor aud encourage useful
exertion in whatever sphere, and, to promote by
all means the moral, intellectual and material ad
vancement of our country. It has aimed to be
right rather than popular, and to espouse and
commend to-day the truth that others may not be
willing to accept till to-morrow. In pursuing
this course, mistakes have doubtless been made
and faults committed ; but, having in all things
incited our readers to think and judge for them
selves rather than adopt blindly our own or oth
ers' conclusions, we believe we may fairly claim
for this journal the credit of having qualified its
readers to detect and expose even its own errors.
To develop the minds of the young by the mes
general, thorough and practical Education. and to
encourage and stimulate Productive Industry,
through free grants of Public Lands to actual sot
tiers and cultivators, as also through the protec
tion of immature or peculiarly exposed branches
from too powerful foreign competition, are among
the aims to which this journal has adhered
through good and evil report, and which it stead
fastly commends to American patriotism and
philanthropy.
As to tbe Civil War now devastating our coun
try, we hold it to have originated in a Rebellion
more wanton, wicked, inexcusable, then was ev
er before known a Rebellion in the interest of
the few against tbe many a Rebellion designed
to raise higher the walls of caste and tighten tbe
chains of oppression. Having done all we could
without a surrender of vital principle to avoid
this War and witnessed the forbearance, meek
ness, and long-suffering with which the Federal
Government sought to avert its horrors, we hold
it our clear duty, with that of every other citizen
to stand by the nation and its fairly chosen ru
lers, and to second with all our energies their ef
forts to uphold the Union, the Constitution, and
the supremacy of the laws. And, though the Re
bellion has become, through usurpation, deception,
terroism, and spoliation, fearfully strong, we be
lieve the American Republic far stronger, and
that tho unanimous, earnest efforts of loyal hoarts
and hands will insure its overthrow. But on all
questions affecting the objects, the scope, and du
ration of this most extraordinary eontest, we de
fer to those whom the American People have
clothed with authority, holding unity of purpose
and of action indispensable in so grave an emer
gency In a crisis liko tho present, our columns must
be largely engrossed with the current history of
the War for the Union, and with elucidations of
its more striking incidents. We shall not, how
ever, remit that attention to Literature, to For
eign Affairs, to Agricultural Progress, to Crops,
Markets, Ac. which has already, we trust, won for
THE TRIBUNE an honorable position among its
cotemporaries. Our main object is and shall be
to produce a comprehensive newspaper, from
which a careful reader may glean a vivid and
faithful history of the times, not merely in the do
main of Action but in that of Opinion also. As
our facilities for acquiring information increase
with years, we trust that an improvement in the
contents of our journal is perceptible, and thai,
in the variety and futuess of intelligence afford
ed, we may still hope to 4 make each day a critio
on the last.1' In this hope, we solicit a continu
anoe of the generous measure of patronage hith
erto accorded to our journal.
