THE EXPERIENCE OF A CONTRABAND. THE BLESSINGS OF LIBERTY. niS INtERTlEVt WITn LINCOLN OREELST. CHATTEK I. I am an intelligent contraband. I am forever free. Mr. Lincoln ' baa said so. The Tribune has printed it in big type. My master was a planter in lloghole Swamp, Arkansas. He wa a descendant of the Arkansas Traveler. When the Union army arrived, hs became a traveler also. There is no law for the return of fugitive masters. I was left alone. I went into the Union line-, and on New Year's day a General read me Mr. Lincoln's Proclamation, nn 1 told me 1 was a free man. Then he give me some bacon that smelt bad, and set me to work digging trenches. I do not like digging tienehes. I tcld a soldierso. He laugh

ed. I told an officer so. He said : "Go to thed 1." 1 told him I was free and wouldn't. Then he kicked me. The kick was of that character which makes sitting down uncomfortable. I thought that my liberty was not properly respected, so I took to the swamp. A sentinel shot at me as I passed. "What had 1 to do with the countersign ? Am I not a freo man ? CHATTER II. In the tangled swamps, I sat upon a highly picturesque stump, and thought of Phyllis. "O joy I" I cried, in a sort of rapturous reverie ; "Liberty is mine. I will fly to Phyllis, my dark-eyed, love of the slumbrous soul and the raven wool, and bear her far away with mo to isles where the mango apples grow." bo 1 roso and went to the plantation where Phyllis lived. Shij met me with a childish delight. I told her wo were free. 4,0 golly !" she said. At that moment her master appeared. I accosted him in a friendly manner, and informed him of my project concerning the isles above mentioned. "There's where you'll get your mango apple cart upsot," he replied coarsely; 'this yer is (juion territory The procam.ttion don't take no effect here. Now you jest come a-foolin round my niggers agin, an' you'll git thunder."' "Sir," I responded, with dignity, "I am a free man like yourself. Thatprocamation makes me your equal." He called two large muscular slaves ; thewy creatures without nobility of soul They pumped water on me, and drove me brth, weeping alone. CHATTER III. Northward ! Over dieary plains of rosty herb.ige ; through irosty deserts ; among wild copses of laurel and rhododendron that bruised my shins. I trust 1 bear no shame for that. May not a free man's shins bo thetenderest art ? Does a long heel necessarily ac company a tccole brain" i have not tudied ethnology for nothing. It was very cold. My race is not fitted or low temperatures. My clothing was scanty and thin. I felt that I was free ; yet, homehaw, fond meraoiy would per sist in revolting to the warm savannas of the old plantation. The North is cold, laik, forbidding. Yet I toiled on. I had but little food. Nobody would employ me, and nobody wished to give me alms. Nor did I care to obtain woik. Y hy should 1 ? Was I not free ? I worked when a slave where is the merit of liberty, if I must work now? I knew that the North is full of philan thropic souls. Greeley, Mrs. Stowe, Gerrit Smith, Lovejoy there, at least, were my friends. I arrived, at length, in Washington a great city ol intellect and power. I felt that I was one of the sovoreiffn people. who own and support that city. I stood before the Capitol and murmured : "I am free !" A very tall, homely man, with black wickers and honest eves, camedown the tops. 1 caught his hand. He looked at me as if surprised and spoke : "Well; what is it ?" "I am a fiee man. I came from Hoghole Swamp, Arkansas. 1 am hungry and cold." "0 go war!" replied the man. "Don't bother me. I'm sick of the very 6ight of you niggers !" "Sir," I said, "yon insult your equal. I am your peer. The Proclamation " "Confound the Proclamation ! I almost wish 1 had never issued it !" CHATTER IV. A lot of Congressional magnates stood near, chewing tobacco. 1 approached to ask for a chew, and heard one addressed as Mr. Lovejoy. "You are a fiiend at least!" 1 cried with real emotion ; "I was a slave. I am now at liberty !" The gentleman drew down his under eyelid with his little finger. "Do you see auy thing green there?" he asked. $ "Mock me not !"" I exclaimed; "am I not a man and a brotlier?" "Why don't you go to work, you lazy fellow?' asked another Congressman, who

had a smell of cobbler s wax about hurt ; "lined to work dowu atNatick." "Sir," I answered scornfully, "I am free." They laughed vulgarly, and I went

awrwith a heavy heart. celaptkr r, St I farther northward. Colder, more inhopitable. Vague doubts and half regretcrept into my brain. Is this Liberty 1 Ah I poor heart, take courage ! Stil I wis free ; and free to confess that Iliad never suffered so much before. Soie one showed me Mrs. Negrophile's housi A splendid carriage stood before the dor. I rang. A servant came. "Ivish to sec Mrs. Ncgrophile. Tell her a newly-freed slave wishes to see her. , Thi lackey returned very soon. "Y)ur card, please?"

'I lave no card. 1 am cold and hunST . . Th( lackey went and came again. "8le doesn't see that kind." he said. I shuiuered. and went to the office of the Trtfiae. I found two young men there with lieir feet on the deks. "H.llo !" said one, "here's a friend of Old G'Celey 1 Thpeak up, brudeer ! yah, vah !' "Ytungman," I said, "I am a friend of all nu." "Hi keeps the place next door," said the otier. "I (orae to. you in the name ot humanity." "Lok here." said the first, "I don't want iny blowed nonsense round hore. Clear o:it before I put you out." "Is Mr. Greeley in ?" "Xot for you. Ljave this !" lie raised a paper weight thrcatengly. I departed. A Democratic compositor gave me sixpence that night, and 1 had something to eat, for the first time iu two days. CHAPTER VI. ( Northward still. I found Gerritt Smith at length. A large, white haired man, with a restless, vacant eye. "My friend," t,aid he, "ethnologistic sidcrul influences are antagonistic in their magnetism. The arbitrary enunciation of a dogmatic allocution is uot productive of habillary conditions." "I am cold and hungry," I said. "Certainly. Isothermal relations can not be ignored with impunity.. Whistle pipt s and thunder ! How's your mother : John iirown s body ham; a danirling in the grave 1 Take 'em away ! Take 'em off!" His eyes grew very wild, and he pawed the airT-igfcrously. I was afraid; and went away sorrowing. "0 Liberie, Liberie !" I cried, "combicrr deo crimes some couiruis sous ton nom !" A gang of laborers went to work upou a railroad near by. I went to them. "What wages do you get ?" "Seventy-live cents a day, in railroad serif". " "What do you do with it?" "It passes at the store." "What store?" "Railroad store. Divil a place else." "What does it cost you to live?" "All we get, jest ; ban-in' enough for a drink, Sathnrday nights. I reflected these were free men. They worked harder than I did w;hen a slave, and for a bare living worse food, worse clothes, and more beastliness on Saturday night for I had never been allowed to kill myself with bad whisky. "And, if you are sick, or get old " "Och, then, we goto the devil !" I thought of my father, - who had food and raiment for five years of his dotage, without a stroke of work. "But your families are not separated from you ? "No sich good luck. I haven't seen the ould 'ooman for two year, but she keeps diugin' me for money all the time!" 1 was satisfied. I begged a few coppers, and set my face stcruly Southward. O, Liberty. Louisville Journal on the Message The Louisville Journal has an article on the President'g Message from which we take the following paragraphs. Speakin? of the AUmiuistra.ion plan lor "re- - - c . construction" Prentice says : In short, the plan is that a revolting State 6hall be permitted to return to its relations as a member of the Union whenever the State adopts emancipation, and not before. Such is the plan, expressed in plain English. This is certainly reconstruction, with a vengeance that will find an exulting echo in every radical breast iu the land. It is, to employ the President's own figure, building up from the ground. It is not merely constructing them anew according to the will of the National Executive not according to the will id the peoplo of the States. The Piesidcnt requires the .people of the Jevolting States to trample their own Constitutions into the dust as a condition of their recognition as loyal States oft'n Union. In a word, ho requires them to commit a second act of revolution as an attonement for the commission of the first. The telegraph announced several days ago that the plan the President was about to present in his message would be alto gether original. We know not if the plan ot the message does not in some measure redeem the promise of the telegraph ; but certainly the only essential difference between this plan and the plan developed by Mr. Sumner in the Atlantic Monthly is that the latter proposes to do iurouii voagress wait cue lormer pro. . I L , I . . I C

poses to do through the Executive. Mr. Sumner would have Congress govern the revolting States until they are willing to adopt emancipation ; Mr. Lincoln would have the Executive govern them until the same period. We leave our readers to determine which of the two parties is the less arbitrary and unconstitutional, if indeed degrees of comparison may be allowed to pertain to to absolute a pitch of lawlessness. For onr own part, we think the difference quite unessential. And so do Mr. Sumner and his friends, if we may credit the dispatches from Washington. "It does not indorse Sumner's views on reconstruction," say the dispatches, referring to the message, "yet the friends of the latter claim that it substantially includes and embodies them." In ur opinion, there is no room for doubt on til's point. Unquestionably the two plans are substantially one. If our readers would contract with this plan in all its forms the simple plan of the CoiiMitution, let them tuin to the inaugural addrvss of Governor Ilramlette. "No reconstruction," savs the Governor, in that noble paper, "is necessary. The Government is complete not broken not destroyed ; but, by the blessings of God, shall endure forever. A revolted State has nothing, therefore, to do but to cease resistance to law and duty, anil return to its fealty, organize under its Constitution, as it was before, and would he now but for the revolt, and thus place itself in harmony wit ti the Federal Government. Thus, all that was Mipeuded by revolt will be restored to action. But will not the dominant powers requite terms other than these ? Will they not require the revolted States, as condition precedent to a restoration of their relations, to adopt either immediate or gradual emancipation ? These are grave questions, and suggestive of a dangerous and wicked experiment. We trnst to plighted word and constitutional faith as guaranty against such an isne. Nothing but disregard of honor and the principles of humanity can force snch an isne, and we will not invite an evil by battling it into being." Little did our Chief Magistrate dream when he expressed this generous trcst, that, ere the sands of the year; already waning should run out, this issue would- be forced deliberately by the President. Yet such is the tact. The fact should awaken the loyal people of the Union. It must now be apparent to the trne friends of the Government, everywhere that they have nothing to expect frcm the party in power or from any member of it. The last ground of hope, or rather the last shadow of ground, have vanished. The rugged issue is before us. There is, under Providence, but one dependence for the Conservative Unionists of the Republic, which is thorough co-operation, on the basis of single minded devotion to the country, for the overthow and expulsion of the party in power at the ballot box. This is indeed the sole dependence of the Republic itself . and we rejoice to believe, that, if wisdom and patriotism shall rule the conservatives' counsels, this dependence will not' fail. Never surely in the world's history were wisdom and patriotism invoked by considerations more glorious or more momentous.

Corrttpontltnc of the Lorton Journal. Gen. Scott on the War. New Y'ork, Jan. 12, ISC4. Gen. Scott kept open house on New Year's. He has broken up house keep ing and has rooms at DelinonicoV In the elegant mansion of Moses H. Grinnell, corner Fifth avenue and Fourteenth street, with several spacious dwelling houses added to it, Delmonico ha his uptown establishment. In a huit of parlors on the lower floor, furnished in a style suited to his rank. Gen. Scott has hi head quarters. His rooms are ftich as military gentlemen of position and fur tune would desire. Thvy are ornamented with busts, statues, maps'paintings and implements of war. I had an interview with him a short time since, of about an hour's duration. He did not regard the future prospect a very bright. Indeed, he said he did not ee one bright spot in our national hori zon. One thing he thought very remark able- no war ot any magnitude hid ever been prosecuted any wheie before this one without throwing to the surface men ol marked military genius and ma iked pub lic virtue, liut this war has been iiuittnl of no such results so far. Those who had inspired a momentary confidence, had uinnppoiuieu me iiuuiic expectation. i: . i it. 1 1; have had some splended hghting, but with no marked results. Our generals eem to have no ability, to reap the fruits of well fought battles. To right the enemy. to gain a decisive victory, and then let him escape with his men, gnns and bag gage, is simply to make the war endless. He considered the President' amnesty i . . . proclamation as impracticable, in conse quence of the large number of persons ex empted from hope of pardon. They would be made desperate and fight to the last. If the large number exempted from pardon were in the hands of the President te-day, and nnder lock and key, so that he could, if he would, march them out to death, ho could not execute that large numler. Humanity and civilizafiou would revolt at it. In the judgment of Gen. Scott, it would be cott, it would be better to offer pardon to tho great mass of the rebels a n .

Gen. Scott supposed that lonnth and Richmond would, both be taWn, and taken at once. -lie not only expected it but had never seen, any explanation or reason why it was not done. Confident of that result he sent the President a plan for the settlement of tlie dlfSrulty. North and South." A basis lor the reconstruction of the Union was senjn. It was ma Jo the aubje-t of otre or mote cal inet meetings, and Gen. Scott is confident that when the war is over, th4plan will form substantially the basis of a final settlement. " J Of Gen. McCIellan'a military career Gen. Scott declines to speak first, because he recommended him (or the position of Comrnandr-in hief, and borate a court martial is to be called anl as h msy be one of the judges, ho does not wih to prejndce the case. I could not understand whether Gen. McCtellan deuced the court martial, or whether it wat le ordered by the government. He wa clearly disappointed that Richmond was not taken, but whether it was the fault of Gen. McClellan, Gen. McDowell, or the interference of the Government, Gen.Scott declined to give an opiuion. Of Generals Burnside, Uovker and other commanders of that stamp, he regarded them as loyal men, brave lUfM. good division commanders, but wholly incompetent to plan or execute a militaiy campaign. Of General Grant he exprcsed himself as surprised an-l delighte I. He said ho knew General Grant in the war with Mexico, where he was a lieutenant, and hsl no opportunity to distinguish himself. So tar General Grant had proved himself the hero qf tho war fighting great battles with consummate skill and securing tho results. And .o far he seemed to- be the only General that knew how to do it. While he does not think this war will boa seven year's war, yet neither this year nor the next, in his opinion, will see its end. Much hard fighting is to le dono before the rebellion will cease. Great and grave questions of anxiety and trouble will arise and run on. and vex the nation beyond the lifetime of this generation. WEATHEE TABLE FOR 1864.
