THI DVTT OF WHIOIf HEX.
Siuco the election we fear there is a
collapse nod want of effort among the
Union men of the county. While the
enemy is busy selecting his officers,
brigading his forces, and drilling hit
troops, tho Union men must not lie
idle in camp and be unprepared for the
battlo. Tho most important Presiden
tial contest in the history of the nation
will take place during the coming Sum
mer and Fall, and there is a -weighty
responsibility resting upon the Union
men of the country. The groat busi
ness of prosecuting tho war uuti! tho
rebellion is suppressed tnust be kept
constantly iu viiw, and no Union man
must he turned aside by tho cry of
Abolition or by complaints against the
Administration. We must remain unit
ed upon the simple issue of suppos
ing tho rebellion and restoring the
Union, and if Slavery falls by tho war,
or by the voluntary act of the South
ern people, let it fall. No good Union
man will regret it, but on the contraiy
will rejoice a t it.
It is tho duty of Union men to or
ganize bj townships and school dis
tricts and to keep alive their organi
zations. Let them form companies and
associations and meet often for' drill
und discipline in political warfare.
Every bush which holds a Butternut
must bo attacked. At the last election
the majority of tho opposition in the
utility was reduced from 1809 to GS8,
and tho majority in the city to 18.
Theso may be overcome by thorough
organization and a vigorous fight. Tho
Vullandigluim movement and tho Val-
landigham leaders are in bad odor with
the people, many of whom acknowledge
that they have been deceived. 1 ho

From the Nwhville Union.
Th Voice of Henrjr Clay.
" On which side would Henry Clay
be, were he alive to-day?" asked a
Tcnuessco Whig, tho other day a.
Tennessee Whig, who, after following
for years, tho standard of Henry Clay,
strayed away in 18C1 into the treason
able folds ot secession and disunion.
Could he, really, have felt a doubt?
Could he believe, for a moment, that
Henry Clay would be on any other
side than that of his country for tho
Union and against any and all its
foes? His own treachery nnd cowar
dice, not his knowledge of tho history
of tae great western statesman and ora
tor, must have suggested tho interrog
atory. Were Henry Clay alive to-day,
ho would bo found exerting his great
talents and influence to rebuke trea
son and traitors everywhere, and keep
tho pcoplo of tho loyal States up to the
true standard of liiith in Kepublican
institutions, and to their duty to them
selves, to posterity, and to the human
race to push on tho war, until, as Gov.
Johnson has said, "treason is made odi
ous and traitors aro punished. Jcar
the close of his career, on tho 17th of
May, 1851, Mr. Clay wrote a letter to
Tlios. J. Stevenson, Ksq., in which his
viewsof the duty of the people of tho
United States were (iistmcm' ex
pressed. The following is an extract
trom that letter :
" You ask what is to bo done if South
Carolina secedes ? 1 answer unhesita
tingly that the Constitution and laws
of tho United States viust continue to he

if any one State may secede every
State may secede; and how long in
such a state of things could wo keep
together? Suppose Kentucky wero to

Act in full. 'It repeals tho ?M)Q
clause, and compels every man draft
ed to furnish a substitute or go in per
son. It also puts the first and second
classes into one, thus including all be
tween the ages of 20 and 45 in the first
draft. Agents and attorneys for mak
ing out and causing to bo executed any
papers in support of a claim for ex
emption, or for any service rendered
ia tho claimant, are allowed a fee not
excoeding fivo dollars, and Surgeons

that if tho amculmcnts cannot be got

Had tho Union men of Tennessee in
1801, acted upon tho counsel of Mr.
Clay, given in this letter, instead of
deceiving themselves with tho paltry
catch-word of " no coercion," they
might have saved their Stato tho su
premo folly of embarking in a revolt
against tho Federal Government, and
themselves, their wives, children and
friends the Bufferings which have been
visited upon them. Lot them not try
to hide their cowardice, by attempt
ing to creato a doubt, as to what, in
times like these, would bo tho position
of Clay or Jackson, or ar.y of the great
Union statesmen who lived anil mod,

pronounced it so.
As to tho situation of affairs in
Grant's department, tho Gencral-in-
chiel says it has been alleged that
iirant positively uisoDeycu tho in
structions of his superiors. It is hard-
necessary to remark that Grant
nover disobeyed an order moreover,
ho has never complained that tho Gov
ernment did not furnish him all tho
means and assistance in its power to
facilitate the execution of any plan. ho
saw fit to adopt.
Iho General fiiic'resls that, as tho
rebel army lives upon tho country
through which it passes, the Eedcral
irmy do uio samo, as it facilitates ra
pidity of movement. Our command
ers in rebel States hardly ever find sup
plies, and in border States it is difficult
to distinguish between friends and
enomies. ,
Iii regard to sutlers, he says tho en-
tiro abolition of tho system would rid
tho army of tho incumbrance of sut
ler s wagons on tho inarch, and tho
nuisance of sutlers' stalls and booths
in camp.
It would improvo tho discipline and
cfiiriency of troops in many ways, and
particularly by removing from camps
tho evils of drunkenness. It is not
difficult to sutlers to act the part of
spies, informers, smugglers, and con
traband traders.
The General thinks a court-martial-too
cumbrous a proceeding for a battlo
field, and suggests some moro speedy
mode of punishment. Ho suggests
'.hat the Inspector General's Depart
ment bo merged into tho Adjutant
General's Department. Ho recom
mends tcveral reformations in relation
to the organization of regiments, brig
ades and corps. Ho claims that the
cartel for tho exchange of prisoners
has been violated in relation to colored
soldiers.

A soldier presents a trophy found in

battlo of Chickumauga a dead dog,
well stuffed, having a brass collar. on,
with the inscription, "Jefferson Davis',

from the Latin word Jlnsis, which sig
nifies sword, showing that the cur was
0110 of Davis's dogs of war. . It is sup-,
posed to havo been loft by him on his,

It seems to have died a natural death.
It is a cross of tho blood-hound, aud
