GENERAL POPE'S PEAS.
A gentleman lately in Washington re
ports to ns what he heard Gen. Pope say, a
few days ago, in regard to one of the ques
tions now before the public. “I want to
11 kill ’em; they have got to be killed, and
“it is not for me to care what the color of
the man is who will help me to put an
t: end to them, so bring on your niggers;
“if they will fight, they ahull have a
“ chance 1” Sensible Pope, you propose to
Jnake war, and yon will win 1
EAST ThINNKSSIt^,
People hereway have ceased to wonder
Why it is that an effort at heart is not made
to relieve the loyal men of East Tennessee
fcy sending a Federal army among them;
end have settled down into the belief that
the advantages which might have been
gained by prompt action, must be sacri
ficed, and all that country lost, to be re
gained only after a long and bloody strug
gle. We who knew what the matter is
gave up lons ago; and when our readers
know that Floyd’s old friend, Don Carlos
Buell, is the nigger in that fence, they will
give np also. But why is that man contin
ued in his command?
TEE PRESIDENT DEFENDED.
The covert allegation in a late number
Of the Kew York Times, that the President
has thus far conducted the war, in opposi
tion to the advice of his Generals, and that
the disasters of the Virginia campaign
Trere due to his intermeddling, is so wholly
false that we wonder how the editor of
that journal, who ought to have been bet
ter informed, could have permitted the
charge to have place in its columns. The
truth is, and we should say so to Mr. Lin*
coin if he were here, the crowning fault of
his Administration, has been his deference
to the opinions of his military advisers.
Ec found himself at the head of the Gov
ernment—the Commander-In-Chief of the
Army and Navy—when this war broke
out. He naturally looked to the officers
Subordinate to himself for instruction and
advice in matters purely military. These
men, most of whom were graduates of
West Point, had no sympathy with him or
his views. They were mainly partizansot
the South. Forming a distinct class in our
nationality, separated from the body of the
people by their dependence on the Govern
ment, the life-long tenure of their offices,
and the nature of their employment, they
were an Aristocracy in the heart of a |
Democracy, and as such were the silent j
admirers if not the quiet supporters of the i
cause of the South- The President
Was thrown into their hands. With
his characteristic modesty and his unwill
ingness to indulge in self-assertion, he per
mitted them to manage affairs in their own
way, generously attributing, when he dif
fered with them, the disagreement to his
ignorance and their superior learning. HU
language has always been this: “I do not
“ pretend to know much about military
‘‘matters; the country knows that I am
* not a soldier, that I am only a lawyer. If
“ I should set up my will in opposition to
“what they recommend, and misfortune
“ should follow, I should not have forgiv
** ness for my assurance. So they must be
“ permitted to go ahead. There can be
c ‘ no two plans adopted. And as they
“ are or ought to be, experts in military mat
“ters, I must not interfere with their plans.”
This, we say, has been the language that
he has always held; and as much as we
may deprecate its effect in turning over the
army and the country to the tender mer
cies of the men who arc too favorably
affected to our enemies, we can but ad
mire the modesty and patriotism, which,
in this crisis, subordinates self to consider
ations affecting the public weak We have
an instance to show how this disposition
of the President has worked; When the
Peninsular campaign was proposed, Mr.
Lincoln was opposed to it 'His plan was
for our army to go ahead in unbroken
force on the line of the enemy’s retreat,
and to hasten to Richmond with such speed
as it might be able to command. This
Wes the obvious dictate of good policy and
common sense. But the famous strategy
of which we have heard so much,
was shaken in his face; the deci
sion of a Conncil-pf-War was held
up before him, and though he all the
while protested that the movement did
not command the approbation of his judg
ment, he finally consented that it might be
made. The result the country knows.
Once more: When Ins patience was ex
hausted by the long delay of Gen. Mc-
Clellan before Manassas, he ordered a for
ward movement, not only once but three
several limes. That was Lincoln, and the
expression of his military notions. But
Strategy came once more into play; once
excuse after another was alleged, and at
last the command, Forward March! was
recalled, and Richmond is not taken yet
We state these things not to assail others,
hut to vindicate the President, who is nomi
nally responsible for the mishaps that have
occurred. He, we believe, is in favor of
action, of earnestness, of celerity. Were
he to trust to his own sound judgment
aid cease to be governed by the advice of
men who have thus guided only to betray,
victory would perch on our banners.
And we trust that the day is not far off in
which he will vindicate himself and be
come in reality what he is officially, the
Commander-in-Ciiief of our forces on land
and at sea. Bat as long as he yields to
** strategy” which proves to be only folly,
as long as he waits preparation that has no
results, and as long as he trusts men who
do not know' whether they want to fight
or not, just so long may we look for repe
titions of what has already occurred.
LITTLE BY LITTLE.
Ever since the war began the “ conserv
atives” have been hanging back and
holding others back. Every recommenda
tion to greater activity was characterized
as “finding fault with the Ad
ministration ” —“ quarrding with the gov
ernment.” Eveiy effort to treat rebels as
they deserve to be treated; was branded as
a provocation to “ merciless and relentless
savagery,” Every shot sent bowling along
after the pro-slavery generals who
are making a kind of rose-water
war upon barbarians who do not know
what mercy is, was accounted an
“ abolition method of fighting the battles
of the sccesh.” Every article which urged
the policy of subsisting our armies on the
enexy, was said to be u a spike lor nailing
up the door of reconciliation between the
waning sections.” Every word uttered in
defense of the plan of employing in our
■ army aU men who are willing to fight, re
gardless of their color or political status,
was hooted down as “incendiary and bar
barous.” And so, for a whole year, in
Congress, on the stump, m local legisla
tures, in the public press and 4n private
aides,. the efforts of the Thorough men,
Were met with ridicule, objurgation and
abuse. Now all is changed. The organs
of opinion that have been indoctrinating
the public in the rose-water method, the
orators who have been howling in repro
bation cf aid from the slaves, and the grog
bruisers who Lave made themselves hoarse
in swearing at the “ abolitionists,” have,
almost without exception, come over to
the radical side; and now not to favor the
most active and energetic measures, not
- to condemn Order No. 8, and all
such tomfoolery, not to be willing
to accept aid from, whomsoever will give
it, is an almost certain sign of disloyaly.
"Even the New York Herald claims credit
-for a large influence in the change, and by
and-by the semi-secession organ of Chica-
£O, mindful of the loyal masses that indig
nantly howled tbeir threats and anathemas
5 into the ears of its editor when hesuper-
fire-on-the-rear squad inDc
•- troit, will be willing to make affidavit that
It has been the most radical of the radicals
ever since the war began 1 And so we
progress toward a full realization of the
wtrk that is before us. Sa by bard labor
and infinite pain, the scales are knocked off
eyes that bare heretofore been half-blind;
and so we all come to a full comprehen
sion of the truth that to clear patriotic
seuse Las been discenible at the bottom of
ibis matter all the while—Victory and
Emancipation—God’s reward and God’s
labor—must go forward, hand in hand.
That is the lesson which the year taa
taught.
COL. J. S WILCOX.
v Some days ago we published a letter
from a Democratic Colonel of central Illi
nois, respecting the manner in which the
war was conducted in Tennessee. To day
w<
•e insert a letter irom another Democratic
officer, Colonel J. S. 'Wilcox, of the 52d
Illinois Volunteers. He too repudiates the
rose-water and order Ho. 3 policy, and
now advocates sterner measures; he wants
the slaves to be employed; rebel property
to he confiscated; the soldiers to forage on
the enemy, and to conquer the country as
the army advances.
He makes one observation that must at
tract attention. The President has called
for more troops; the army can be rein
forced fifteen to twenty per cent by a very
simple process. He states that sixty to
seventy of his regiment are detailed on ex
tra duty in driving teams, loading and un
loading wagons, cooking and performing
camp drudgery which negroes should be
set to doing. By employing blacks these
seventy soldiers could resume their mus
kets and take their places in the ranks. Add
to these, nearly as many more who are
guarding rebel property and driving back
to their rebel masters runaway loyal slaves;
and the fighting strength of the regiments
would be increased fully one-fourth. But
it is necessary first to abrogate Order Ko.
3, and set aside sentimental tenderness for
slaveholding cut-throats.
CoL Wilcox calls Southern chivalry a
“ stupenduous humbug,” and pronounces
the chivalry whom he has se6n, to be a
sneaking pack of treacherous ingrates, who,
partaking of your hospitality, would plunge
the assassin’s dagger into your heart. We
commend his letter to all Democrats.
Rebel Loss at Richmond*
Some ol our officers who were taken prison
ers at the battles before Richmond, and were
Afterwards exchanged, state that the rebels
marveled exceedingly at not finding more of
onr dead on the fields of battle, and persuaded
themselves into the belief that we hnriedtbem
| during tbe engagements. It was positively
i asserted by one that we had buried in a single
| trench, near Malvern Hill, no less than 861 of
I onr dead. A national officer, who was standing
I by, replied to the ridiculous statement of the
I rebel by calling bis attention to tbe fact of onr
| commanders belngmen of common sense, and
that as such they would not be likely to de
sert the wounded, leaving them in tbe hands
of the enemy, for the sake of removing tbe
killed.
It is well known that all onr killed and
most of the severely wounded were left on tbe
I field of battle. Some of tbe enemy exhibited
considerable disappointment at not finding
onr loss greater than It was, and even de
clared in tbe presence of Uoion soldiers—
prisoners—that tbe rebel loss in killed alone
was four to onr one.
Congressional Nominations*
A Union convention was held at Kokoma,in
the lltb congressional district of Indian on tbe
24'h, and Hon. John F. G. Shanks, tbe present
representative, nominated for re-election. In
tbe 7th district Daniel Webster Yoorhes, tbe
present secesh representative,was re-nominat
ed by acclamation, by tbe secesb Democracy.
II the people of that district allow this infa
mous traitor to represent them, we greatly
, mistake the extent of thair loyalty.
The Democrats of the Muscatine district,
lowa, have nominated Hon. Edward H. Thayer
of Muscatine, for Congress. No chance for
him.
New York*
The Republican State and tbe Legislative
Union Committees of New York, met at Al
bany on the 23d, and agreed upon a call for a
State Convention at Syracuse on tbe 24th of
September, for the nominations of candidates
for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and other
State officers. The call is addressed hot only
to Republicans, but to Democrats, and to all
other men who are in favor of putting down
tbe rebellion.
Buell’s Command*
Gen. William J. Elliott returned to Indian
apolis* on the 24th, from Stevenson, Ala.,
where a large part of Buell’s army are now
stationed. The army is in a quiescent state,
our pickets looking from one side of the river
at those of tbe enemy on tbe other side. Gen.
Elliott informs tbe Indianapolis Journal that
tbe Murfreesboro affair is as bad as repre
sented, and that nobody defends the conduct
of Gen. T. T. Crittenden, of Indiana, or that
of Col. Lester of tbe 3d Minnesota. Gen. E.
brings with him nearly SIO,OOO sent by sol
diers to their families.
An Eosllib Captain Fond Flilte.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald , writes that an affair of honor
was inaugurated and completed in that city
after the following manner: There is a Cap
tain Mackenzie, of Her Brittanic Majesty’s
royal army, stopping at Willard’s, in Wash
ington. While at the supper table he dogmat
ically asserted the superiority of the English
over American anus. Captain Whittemore, of
the United States Volunteers, who was pre
sent, expressed his preference for to Spring
field over the Enfield rifle. The English cap
tain called him a fool, and instantly had a cup
of tea thrown inhls face byCapt. Whittemore.
The result was a challenge from Capt. Mac
kenzie, which was accepted by Capt. Whitto
more, after haring resigned Ms commission.
After the acceptance, it is said, the English
captain desired to back out, but was informed
that he must either fight or take a public
horsewhipping. The meeting was arranged
in the vicinity of the Arlington House, but
through the instrumentality of the Briton’s
friends, the police were at band, and succeeded
in arresting Capt. Mackenzie. His opponent
escaped from the field as the driver of a pie
wagon standing near at hand, and has not yet
been arrested.
The explosion of Hazard’s powder
mill, at Hazardvillc, Connecticut, a few days
since, was a horrid affair. Eight men aud one
woman was killed. Only the bodies of two
could be found. The others were blown ta
pieces, and the only fragments found were
heads, fingers and portions of limbs, all of
wMch filled only an ordinary water-poll, and
were found in all directions and at great dis
tances from the explosion.
There Is scarcely a vestige left of the build
ings destroyed. So severe was the concus
sion that dwelling houses within two miles
were unroofed, windows broken, trees up
rooted, horses, cattle and people prostrated,
etc. The explosion was distinctly heard In
Northampton and West Brookfield, a distance
of over twenty-five miles. In Springfield
houses were jarred as if by an earthquake.
tsf'The Indianapolis Seiitind announces
that Messrs. Crittenden and Wickllffe of Ken
tucky have consented to address a convention
of the Bright Democracy of that city. This
Bright party in Indiana has been ignored by
the K. G. C’b. These Border State politicians
are about played out, and it is quite time that
their suggestions concerning the management
of the war should be disregarded.
Axbant Bbidge.— The U. 8. Circuit Court
has dismissed the bill aud dissolved the in
junction in the suit against the Albany bridge
company—Justice Nelson delivering the
opinion. There is now, says theAryu*, no
legal obstacle to the construction of the
bridge.
Sam Houston again Dead. —The Boston
Jbst says: “ A gentleman who arrived, hi this
city on Saturday, from Texas, states that Gen.
Sam Houston is positively dead, and that be
fore he died he requested the old flag to be
brought, that he might die as he had lived
under the stars and stripes.”
|g* Gov. a Tod has notified the people o
Ohio that if the State’s quota of troops is
not raised in forty days, drafting will be re
sorted to.
fSf Isaac Curran, a well known and deter
mined Democrat of Springfield, has been ap
pointed consul to the Grand Duchy of Baden,
to reside at Carlsrue.
EgT Bchnjler county has seven companies
in process of formation for thenew levy. This
looks like work.
Pr The patriots ot Rockford are raising
three companies for the new levy of 300,000
men.
pT They have war meetings every after
noon on Boston Common.
A Card from the Officers of Col« Wil
llch’s Regiment.
The undersigned, officers ef the 33d Indiana
regiment, after a long and patient silence, see
themselves at last induced to step before the
public forum, to shake off the long endurance
of ignominy ■which has no* been committed
on the German population at large only, but
on our regiment especially, and on the person
of our esteemed commander, Col. Aug. Wil
llch. It is acknowledged and appreciated,
that Col 'WUlicb, in organizing, drillicg and
peiit-ctjcg of the 32d Indiana, and 9th Ohio,
has dedicated his adopted country the military
gumptious, which he has acquired in Europe.
With the greatest enthusiasm and patriotism
he devoted himself to this country, in the
time when it was needed. Although poor as
he was, through his energy and skillfnlness,
has been very fortunate in bringing a regiment
from Indiana Into the field, which can, in dis
cipline and firmness, be compared with any
ore yet in service. It cannot he denied that
■WilUch is one of the ablest officers in the
western army, and his regiment, which is so
much attached to him, feels proud of him.
The time for the “crop of brigadier came,
and amongst them was mentioned the name
of Co!. 'WilUch.- The president sent in his
nomination to the Senate for confirmation,
about the middle of May, but days, weeks,
months huve elapsed, and the Senate has con
firmed among the nominations—yes, has con
tinued men who have not fn the least ability
to lead out brave soldiers into battles. Col.
Willlch’s niftims for promotion have been pur
posely neglected, and men who had, perhaps,
assistance given to help political speculators
to some high, pecuniary and responsible po
sitions, were promoted. These are facts,
which cannot be denied. Our eyes are open
now, and political foul-dealings can’t throw
any more dust in onr faces.
To such favoritism as he has been bestowed
upon men, who are not worthy and able to oc
cupy their positions, we look at with our
greatest indignation, and hereby openly pro
test against; we further appeal to the people
to arrest it and assist us to remedy this evil.
For urging these few words to the public,
earnestly we remain with esteem, your hum
ble servants,

Retributive Justice*
Lawk Ridge, El, July 21,1862.
Editors Chicago Tribune:
The usual quiet and monotony of the town
of Chillicothe' and vicinity was somewhat dis
turbed by tbe report that wnclvE war had
broken out in our midst. Humors, at last,
settled into facts, which are about as follows:
Our county judge, who has always been a
noted gallant, went to a pic nic on Friday last,
with his own wife and the wife ot J. P. After
the departure of the party, Esquire
went home and found there a short note of
invitation from the amorous judge—of four
pages in length—to his wife. He asked her to
go with him—for he loved her! yes, he loved
her—had always loved her—without her he
could notlive! with her he could not die, &c.,
&c. So much had he written that Esquire
concluded that here was a plain case of tres
pass. For though the law made it obligatory
on the judge to hold court, in a certain man
ner, yet, ii did not give mm the luxury of
courting other men’s wives. Esquire, there
fore, thought he would “ raise Cam” about it,
eo he went and procured a good heavy one—
sent a messenger for the fickle one, and wait
ed patiently forjudge . Judge returned
home, retired to his parlor, reclined on his
sola, rested from his labors, reflected on the
pleasures of life, and was about frffdy to dream
of dear F., when in walked EscMre , who,
without any unnecessary ceraioay, began
plying the new cane about the head and ears
of the worthy county dignitary with all the
vigor and celerity that anger and jealousy
could infuse into the rod of administrative
justice. Judge stood the fire but a moment
before he began a hasty retreat, his rear guard
suffering severely from the repeated assaults
of the enraged Esquire. Judge performed va
rious maneuvers to rid himself of his adversa
ry, but did not succeed till a neighbor Inter
fered and prevented the J. P. from finishing
the good work he had so thoronghlybegaa.
The J, P. went home; the judge went to bed.
PrCEtntly Esquire came bach with another
J. P. to take such testimony, confession, or
complaints ss the sore judge might see fit to
make. Under the fear of receiving more pun
ishment the Judge simply stated, under oath,
that nothing criminal had ever taken place;
that he had only courted, and corresponded
with Esquire’s wife for three or four years
back, and that he deserved all he had got,
and that he thought that the matter hod
better he dropped—so it was dropped.; Tae
parties all belong to tbe church, and have
been leading citizens in the . place. Perhaps
thefearofcorporial punishment and the re
straining influence of puolic opinion,, if not
higher motives, will reform the erring ones in
this affair and be a warning to others so dis
posed. The guilty ones are each the parents
of two children, and] by their misdemeanors
have plunged their respective families Into
great distress.
The 17x11011 Army at Cumberland Gap,
[From the N. T. Times, 83d.]
Probably the few people who ever knew the
fact, have quite forgotten it, that we have a
very large column of National troops inEast
Tennessee —at Cumberland Gap. When, in
the early part of this year, the rebels evacu
ated Bowling Green, and the varions divis
ions of onr troops in Kentucky followed them
southward, this column was left in south
eastern Kentucky, for the purpose of captur
ing the rebel stronghold at Cumberland
Gap—which had been regarded as proba
bly the most formidable and valua
ble strategic position In the South—and
afterward penetrating into East Tennes
see. The column remained, doing various
work, with in the hilly and
desolate regions in Eastern Kentucky during
the whole of the spring, and till well on In the
present summer. At the beginning of last
month it was still on the northern side of the
Cumberland Mountains. At length, on the
18th of June, Gen. Morgan, its commander,
and a very able and gallant officer, obtained
possession of the long coveted Cumberland
Gap, by one of the most difficult and scien
tific operations of the war, bat which, on ac
count of the more immediately important
news we were at that time receiving from
Virginia, was almost entirely overlooked by
the press. He, for a time, so maneuvered
his troops that the enemy at the Gap could
get no clue whatever to his purposes;
and when, finally, having made a terrible
inarch of a hundred miles, over mountains
heretofore considered impassable, he fell
upon their rear, they fled In confusion, and
the Southern Thermopylae, which a thousand
men might have successfully defended, fell
into his hapds. It was universally sup
posed by those who bad followed up Gen.
Morgan’s movements, and nnderstoood the
military and political situation in that section
of country, that he would at once pash on to
Knoxville, the capture of which would have
been equivalent to the possession of nearly
the whole of East Tennessee. The retention
of the Gap was of vast importance to the reb
els, as the means of keeping ua ont of East
Tennessee; but the position once in our hands
it was of value only as the gateway to fhrther
conquests. Gen. Morgan, however, with his
whole force, still remains at Cumberland Gap
—a force which, though the rebels over
estimate it when they state it to be 20,000
strong, is yet of very considerable numbers,
and Is amply able, with a little of the assist
ance near at hand, to take military possession
of all ot East Tennessee. He remains there
in obedience to orders. .
We call attention to his situation atpresent,
because, being forbidden to move from Cum
berland Gap, Gen. Morgan’s command is
placed in imminent danger by the maneuvres
of the guerrilla Morgan. AU
the supplies of our troops at the Gap are
drawn through Eastern : Kentucky upon
ox-teams, over a hundred of bills,
rocks, and rats, such as cannot be
found [on the continent outside
of that region. Yesterday it was announced
by telegraph that the guerrilla chiefs had
attacked one of these supply trains, destroy
ed the wagons, and, we suppose, consumed
the victuals. It is in Ills power with a small
force to cut off entirely the snppliee; and, as
he seems to be now retiring in a southerly di
rection, there Is nothing more likely than
that this is really the work he has set ont to
do. We have bad so many military surprises
of late months that it is well to be warned
wherever there Is the least danger; and il, by
Gen. Buell’s moving a force forward to and
reducing Chattanooga, he were able to form a
junction at or near Knoxville with Gen. Mor
gan, not only would the latter be put ont of
peril, but East Tennessee, so long neglected,
would be restored to the protection of the
stars and stripes. If there is any one thing
the nation desires, next te the captnre of Rich
mond, it is the liberation of East Tennessee.
If there Is any one thing which would inflict
a severer blow than another upon the
almost' broken fortunes of the rebels
in the Southwest, and In the lor South,
and aid in stopping at once the ravages ot
guerrillas, it would be the occupation of the.
points indicated—Chattanooga and Knoxville.
The other and Innumerable advantages of ob
taining East Tennessee are now' every day
more apparent, as each movement of the reb
els, whether in the East or West, makes it
more imperative. Gen. Morgan is now in a
position of difficulty and danger: but proper
ly supported, he has the skill, the valor and
the men to posh forward and capture Knox
ville, as soon as.he is ordered.

Camp Montgomery, near Corinth, >
July 15th, 1888. )
Friend Raymond Nothing of interest
transpires in this branch of the great Union
army. To-day is a copy of yesterday, and to
morrow will probably be & facsimile of to
day:
There seems to be a lull in the bloody strife
of war, since the terrible battles before Rich
mond, yet in the seeming calm, both parties
are but pausing to regain breath and gird their
loins for fiercer strife.■ Circumstances con
stantly changing the relative positions of men
and things, frequently requires that the policy
of men and governments should be correspon
dingly -changed; and 1 believe the time has
come now, (perhaps it came long ago,) when
the policy of our government toward these
damnable rebels should be materially changed.
While the strife was going on in the border
States, where there were undoubtedly quite a
number of really loyal men, it was well enough
to guard and re-construct their railways, and
to protect persons and property; but now we
stand upon the Northern Ime of a State whose
inhabitants, in their miserable, arrogant,
vicious ignorance, are dll rebels. Here I think
the policy should change. If they saw fit to
destroy their railroads, I would not interfere,
but on the contrary, if not thoroughly done,
I would finish the work. If they wished to
burn their cotton, I would use their corn and
bacon for my army, leaving them
entirely destitute;— Instead of feeding
these wretched women and children who
use the food we give them, in carrying to
their husbands and fithers in the rebel army
intelligence of our strength and position,
gathered while reaching their bands to receive
our .bounty,-! would tell them to look for food
and shelter to" those same husbands and
fathers. I tell you these men chuckle with
derisive laughter, to think they can leave their
families and property safely in our hands, and
have us feed the one and guard the other. 1
have done with that policy which, by placing
guards over every farm-house, village and city,
and along the lines of every railway, has so
weaken ed the fighting front of our army that in
every encounter these accursed rebels hive nu
merically a superior force,compelling our brave
boys to fight against odds. Such slaughter as
we suffered before Richmond, makes the heart
sick. 1 say let these guards be withdrawn.
If the rebel property may, by any possibility,
be liable to become useful to the rebels in
prolonging this unholy strife, bum it, destroy
It. Let our men jom their comrades with
the main army, and in battles let ns have a
force equal, at least, if not superior to that
of the enemy, and then if widows and orphans
must weep the loss of husbands and fathers
slain in battle, let them be widows and or-
pbans of dead rebels. If homes must be
made desolate, let the hearthstones of rebels
be cold. We pass over their country and
leave it producing more food for rebel sup*
poit than when we came. I would leave it a
blackened waste I We have men enough in
this army to doit. Suppose we should march
to the gulf, carrying ruin and desolation
wherever we went; when the tale was told to
Georgia, that the Union army had really de
vested the State of Mississippi, and was upon
their border to utterly uproot and destroy
everything upon which rebellion could exist,
how long would they be iu returning to obedi
ence to the law? I tell you not long. They,
io their braiisbUnoraoce, cannot comprehend
ihe meaning of the term magnanimity. Our
mildness they believe to be the result of cow
ardice. Ton dare not treat us otherwise, say
they.
We have too long supported and pampered
them ■with our right hand while we warded off
their blows and softly admonished with oar
left- I believe in giving it to them with both
hands and foot, tooth and naiL We need a
larger army, andlhear a call for more troops
has been issued by the president. Now I
think and know, that this army can be in*
creased from fifteen to twenty per cent very
easily, cost nothing, but be a saving to gov
ernment. Take my regiment for instance; we
have about 45D men for duly, of these over
sixty are constantly employed on extra and
daily dnty, in driving teams, loading and un
loaning wagons, cooking, etc. Plenty of
negroes offer their services (and in these capa
cities would do good service) for the extra
duty, pay these teamsters, etc., draw from
government.
By employing the negroes, these sixty or
seventy men could resume the musket. I as
sure you, I am most heartily sick of the sen
timental tenderness we have shown these
miserable wretches. A truly noble, intelli
gent man can respect another without fearing
him, but these people are not of that stamp,
they have been taught differently from their
infancy. They have with the lash beat respect
for themselves into the outward action of the
slave, and with the grinding heel of
aristocratic despotism, the rich have
forced the poor into like manifestations
of esteem. The heart catches ■Some
thing of the feeling-manifested • 'Outwardly,
and they respect that which they fear. When'-
wc have visited them with terrible punish
ment, tney wni rear ana respect and otxjy tne
law, and not until then will they be so. Ton
have no adequate conception of the ignorant,
brutish stupidity of these rebeh. They are
slaves. Southern Chivalry! Great Heaverft
what a stupendous humbug. The chivalry of
the sneaking, cold blooded ingrate, who par
taking of his hospitality, would plunge the
assassin's dagger into the heart of Ins host.
I am getting malicious toward these wretches,
whose devilish work is making so many hith
erto happy homes sad and desolate, who are
inadly striving to tear down the fairest fabric
of republican government the wisdom of man
ever devised, who are profaning everything
sacred and holy,who are destroying everything
noble, generous and good, who are trampling
upon every principle of rectitude and honor,
that Ido not often speak or write of them. I
would not willingly he vindictive or malicious,
but tbeir hands are red with the blood of
innocent men. They drew the sword, by the
sword (or rope) 1 would have them perish.
FROM BUELL’S DEPARTMENT,
Sick Soldiers—A Remarkable Scene,
(Correspondence Cincinnati Gazette.)
Cabp Tayxob, Hunts vtixe, Aba., July 15.
Between a thousand, and fifteen hundred
sick soldiers have been left here by the differ
ent divisions of Buell’s army, and arc now in
the various Huntsville hospitals. I am con
vinced that they meet with the greatest kind
ness and attention, alter being once pnt under
the care of Dr. Marks and bis assistants; but
I am not so sure that they do not occasionally
suffer on account of sufficient provision not
being made for them before they arrive. It is
too late to prepare a hospital for the reception
of some hundreds of sick men after they are
put off the cars. All that should be attended
to beforehand; and the worn and wearied sol
dier, exhausted in the service of his country,
pale and emaciated from disease, or flashed
and homing with active fever, should la all
cases be able to bless the wise foresight
which, upon'his arrival at a central point like
Huntsville, has in readiness for him well ven
tilated apartments, clean beds, soothing
medicines and kind nurses—all the appliances
that may tend to check the ravages of disease,
restore strength to his body, and comfort and
encourage his mind. * * * *
A few nights since I was standing in front
of the Huntsville Hotel, and listening to the
busy talk of the various groups, civil and
military, which were collected there. It waa
about ten o’clock, when, on looking round,
I saw advancing up the street from the direc
tion of the depot a considerable body of men,
who moved slowly, weariedly, weakly, irreg
ularly. “ Who are those V * I inquired of an
officer standing by. “O, those are some sick
men belonging to Gen. ’s division,” he
carelessly repaed; “they have just arrived
upon the cars.” Ah! I might nave known
they were sick; the American soldier never
staggers along with that heavy, hesitating gait
when he is well, no matter how bard have
been his toils or what distance he has traveled.
The men, at least 200 in number, struggled
painfully on until they reached a comer of the
public square nearly opposite the hotcL
There a halt was called, and those poor, sick
soldiers were fain to rest their weary limbs
upon the flinty pavement, or stretch them
selves foil length in the very middle of the
dusty street; which latter quite a number of
them actually did. And there they lay, sigh
ing, panting, some of them unable to repress
an occasional groan! It was a sad spectacle,
that company of sick American soldiers lying
tiiere in the street, at that "hour of the nfgbt,
in the rich and aristocratic city ot Huntavnle,
I turned and went into the hotel.- When I
esme out, an hour later, and mounted my
horse, in order to ride to camp, those men
were still lying in the same place. I did not
linger. Probably an extended inquiry would
not have enabled me to fix the blame upon
the proper person or persons; and I could
only go away, feeling certain that “some one
had blnndereo.”
TVlxere Is General Buell ?
[From the Nashville Union, SSth.]
- The exact whereabouts of Gen. Buell is a
matter of some doubt at present He was to
have taken Chatenooga some weeks ago; hut
probably missed the road to that important
point, and has consequently not come up to
the expectations of some sanguine, and per
haps, unreasonable Mends. Probably the
moral effect of his policy, as seen in the pre
sent condition of the localities through which
be has passed, has encouraged him bo, that he
has discarded the cumon and taken up moral
enasion. We can only pray most devoutly
for the success of this policy, and hope that
administeriog the oath may settle this cruel
war without further bloodshed. In the mean
time we would suggest to General Buell that
a few evil-minded persons failing to be modi
fied by his humane course, may take it Into
their heads to hum some railroad bridges, and
cut of his communication from his supplies
Such things have teen done. A few meddle
some persons might put him to some trouble
by stopping his supplies, and might force Mm.
to retreat {nglurioUsly from the enemy, with
out accomplishing all that was expected from
so fine an army. The Baltimore American
speaks of his “ well known tardiness,” bat
we are so utterly ignorant of all that pertains
to military affairs that we know not whether
this may*, be considered'.complimentary or
hot; If the former, Gen. Buell may consider
himself the most popular officer In the army,
as this opinion of him is generally entertained.
Hr. Calhoun once spoke ot a , V masterly inac
tivity,” and we believe th&hlithat is masterly
in Gen. Buell lies in Of-inactivity.

THE FEDERAL SOLDIERS TO THEIR FAM

[Prom the Delta, 16th.)
It is gratifying to see the remembrance in
which our soldiers in this division bear their
families at home. As a result of the recent
payment of the troops, the Adams Express
Company, through their efficient agent, A. S.
Blake, Esq., have sent to the North $330,000
lu small packages. This is in addition to the
large amounts carried home by Major White
hall, the allotment agent of the State of Maine,
and by private hand. Who shall say that the
Union soldier is improvident and forgetful of
those dependant on him ?

[From the Picayune, 13th.)
We have bad a week of fine summer days,

wound up with a most delightful thunder
storm, daring which the rain fell in grateful
torrents, and quite revived and refreshed the

who felt Us benign influences. The city has
been as quiet as occurring ar

[From the Picayune, July 13th.)
B. Holz, a New York merchant, Instituted
suit for the recovery of $5,000, alleged to ha
dne him by Leamnont, Blache & Co., of tins
city. Defendants are auctioneers, and were
in the habit of receiving and gelling goods con
signed to them. The last shipment pf goods
thns sold for plaintiff was just at the time
when hostilities were opening between the
North and South. For the first proceeds of
the ealea certificate of deposit in favor of Holz
for $B5l, was obtained from the Louisiana
State Bank and was placed in the post office
to be sent to New York. It was there how
ever eeized and sequestered by the confederate
authorities, together with the balance due
Holz. The facts were admitted, and the court
decided that defendants must pay plaintiff all
the amount with the exception of the $351,
and for that plaintiff must look to the bank,
wbicb paid it out without his authorization or
consent.
A CURIOUS SLATE CASE.
[From the Picayune, 16th.]
A colored woman named Flowers, Institu
ted suit for the recovery of her freedom, or
such relief as the court might consider herself
entitled to. She averred that about thirteen
years ago she was purchased by a free man of
color named Flowers, who married her, and to
whom she had horn two children; that
after the birth of her second child her husband
died, when a man named Williams, who be
came the administrator of her hufaband’s es
tate, sold her to one Bridget Murphy—that
Bridget agreed to free her for SI,IOO, and af
ter she had paid $990 of this amount her mis
tress died, and she was again sold for SI,OOO
as belonging to Mrs. Murphy’s succession.
Her next purchaser was Mr. Boswell, and she
agreed to purchase herself from him also, but
after she had paid S6OO on account she was
again sold, and since that time she has had
several owners. There being no formal
opposition to the petition the court de
cided that petitioner had purchased
from Mrs. Murphy all her interest in
her except that which was covered by the
S2OO of the purchase money which was unpaid
at the time ot Mrs. Murphy’s death, and that
the succession of Bridget Murphy could con
vey no greater interest. It was further held
that Boswell had no right to exact from peti
tioner more than S2OO, and that in taking S6OO
he became indebted to berin the snm oC$400;
that petitioner was entitled to her freedom, as
she had paid more than the amount originally
agreed upon, and was entitled to receive from
some person the sum which she had overpaid.
The Court further remarked that the marriage
of petititiouer with her owner would probably
have been sufficient to have entitled her to her
freedom, but as ebe bad not claimed it on that
ground he would grant it on the facts set
forth in her petition.

“CONCILIATING REBELS.”
An Expression from Buell’s Army.
[From the Cincinnati Gazette.}
The fallowing extract from a private letter,
to a gentleman of this city, shows the re
straint placed upon the “rosewaterpolicy”
oi conducting the war, by intelligent soldiers
in the .field. The course of Gen. Buell, as
mentioned in this letter, in guarding the
property of secessionists, while his own sol
diers are suffering, demands the attention of
the war department. His supercedure by such
an earnest wan Democrat as Gen. Low Wal
lace, would prove just the kind of conserva
tive action the people delight in, and be
equivalent to strengthening that army with
an entire division of men:
Ok toe Mabch, between Htjxt=vtlx.e and 1
Chattanooga, Ala., July 6,1862. f
Each reverse we have had so far has only
made us the more determined and earnest,
and it seems to me that what we especially
need just now is earnestness in the conduct
of ibis war. We need the rose water policy
stopped something besides administering
oaths is needed. The hemp should take the
place of the bible in this business. Our rail
road trains are fired into, and the men' who do
it are sworn and turned loose, to do it over
again. The soldiers are getting very tired of
an this. We have stood as guards over rebel
property long enough.
Gen. Buell has endeavored to make his
corps a mere police for the better protection
of rebels.
His general orders on this matter bear
heavily on his own men- Will you believe it?
He has forbidden his troops, when on the
march, to enter “under any pretense what
ever. any enclosure whatever.” So a poor
soldier can’t go into a house to buy a string
of onions bnt he subjects himself to arrest
and punishment by the provost-guard. Gen.
Bucli, personally, ordered under arrest a lieu
tenant ol the Cth Indiana, who was going to a
house to buy a few vegetables! "
The transportation allowed our army is so
small—and I must think the staff officers so
ignorant or negligent of their duty—that the
commissaries, who are generally relied upon
to furnish officers with provisions, do not
carry such, things .and in such quantities as
we need, and we must forage or buy of the
secesh. If we do the former we are arrested;
if the latter, cheated. It does seem strange
to me that the generals who are so careful of
rebel property, should allow the secesh to sell
their ** garden sass” at such exorbitant prices.
I have seen a Union guard “ gardln ” a secesh
garden, the proprietor of which was selling
onions to our men at the rate of one dollar
per dozen. My blood boiled at this a little,
as nearly as I can remember.’
Confiscation is an indispensable adjunct to
onr arms. Why will onr Congressmen waste
time, breath audmoney In tolkingabont it and
hesitating whether to punish the pockets of
traitors ? If we would conquer iu tiffs war,
we must value the Union as everything and
slavery as nothing. We must abandon the in
stitution to Its fate.
These views of the policy that should mark
the war, I believe you will approve. They
certainly are the views of a large part of the
army, in & few weeks, I think, they will be
the views of all the army, for our fighting
men are growing very radical.
One of “ Old Abe’s” Stories*
Orpheus C. Kerr, writing from. Washington
to the New York ffcefcty, perpetrates the fol
lowing: •
Hatters and things here are still In a strate
gic condition, and nought has disturbed onr
monotony for a week, save a story they tell
about the honest Old Ahe. It seems that two
of the conservative Border State chaps, who
arc here for the express purpose of protesting
against everything whatsoever, had a discus
sion about the Honest Abe. and one chap bet
the other chap five dollars that he couhiii’t,
by any possible-means,- speak to the president,
without hearing a small anecdote.
“Hone!” says the other chap, gleefully,
“ PH lake that bet.’*
That very same night, at about twelve
o’clock, he tore frantically up to the White
House, and commenced thundering at the
door, like King Richard at the gates of Asca
lon. The Honest Abe stuck his night-capped
head out of the window, and says he*:
“Is that yon, Mr. Sewurd?” • \
“No, sir!” says the Border Slate chap,
glaring up through the darkness. 1“ Fm a
messenger from the army. Another great
strategic movement haa taken Place, and our
whole army has been taken prisoners by the
Southern Confederacy. In fact” says the
conservative chap, frantically, “ the backbone
of the rebellion is broken Again.”
“Hem!”-says the honest Abe, shaking
a mnsqneto from his nightcap, 1 this strategy
reminds me of a little story. There was a
man, out in lowa, sat down to play a game of
checkers with another man, inducing his
friends around him to lend mm the ‘chango
necessary for stakes. -He played and he played
and he lost the first , game, - Then "ho played
much more cautiously, andloat the next game.
Bis friends commenced to grumble; but says
he, 'Don’t you worry yourselves, boys, and
I’ll show you a cute move, pretty soon. So
he played and be played, and _ he
lost the third game. Don’t be impatient,
boys,* says he; ‘you’ll sec that great
move pretty soon, I tell jom”-Tben he played
with great care, taking along, time to consider
every move, and. by way of change,' lost the
fourth game. Close attention to what he was
about, and much minute calculation, also' en
abled blm to lose the fifth game. By tMs
time, his friends bad lent him all their change,,
and began to think it was time for that great
move of tale.to.come oft. “Have you any more
change?” says he. “Why* no,” eayathey.
'‘Then,” says be, with great spirit, “ the time
for that move I was telling you about, has
come at last.” As he commenced to rise from
bis chair, instead of continuing to pUy, his
cltantd-onl friends bethought themselves to
atk Mm what that famous move was?
14 Why,” says he, pleasantly, 44 It’s to move
off for a little more change.”
At the conclusion of this quaint tale, my
hoy, the Border State chap, fled groaning to
his quarters at Willard’s, stuck a five dollar
treasury note under the pillow of the other
Border State chap, and immediately took the
morning train for the West.

BEEF CATTLE.
The receipts during the last week have been
very literal—taking into account the - excessive
heat of the weather—showing an increa-e, as
compared with last week of lu2 head. The mar
ket during the pa-t week has been a “hard” one
fvr drovers in consequence of the sudden and un
locked for break in the New York market on
Tuesday last. Tbe dealers throughout the coun
try rushed their stock Into market thinking there
would be a good sale this week, but the news of a
fall of #c In New York, with a prospect of a far
ther decline, came upon them like a thunderbolt
and in consequence wc have to report this week’s *
’ market one of the dullest of the season. Shippers
are very cautious in operating, confining their
operations principally to stock of good quality,
and at reduced prices, which as a general thing,
holders are very unwilling to take. Government
contractors in the middle ot the week were pur
chasing rather freely, causing considerable activi
ty in medium grades.
To-dat— The receipts amount 2,553 head, of
which 3,000 were received at the Pittsburgh yards,
25S at the Michigan, Southern yards and 230 at
Sherman’s yards. The market to-day has been
very Inactive—there being no inquiry either by
Government contractors or shippers—and closed
doll, (a great many remaining over in the yards
unsold,) at a decline of about #c per Q>-
The (dosing prices are as follows:
