that an adjustment of -the credits tine

sixteen thousand: volunteers to fill

Such scenes like the above are
transpiring almost daily in. the north

if dmnoerats arm themselves,LL,defend
themselves, and retaliate, as they had
the courage to do at Charleston, Coles

went:to a hole( where there were on

and then burnt the house. An Indi

DIE
SOLDIER'S VOTIN(L—AS it is quite
certain that our State. Constitution
will be amended so es to - allow sol
diers to vote; we would commend• to
the' attention of the Legislature the
subjoined capital suggestions of the
New York Tribune. , If they be
adopted, the most weighty objections
against the amendment would be re
moved ; lionAos GREELEY should
certainly be a good authority with an
Abolition Legislature
* * * Each soldier,
by the plan we prefer, incloses his ballot
in a sealed envelope, transmits that en
velope,• duly authenticated, to his 'most
trusted friend, and instructs that friend to
open the envelope in the presence of the.
Inspectors of election, take out the ballots
and cast them in the absent voter's be
half. We shonld like to see the wives of
soldiers in each Election District walk 'in
procession to the polls
• and cast - the votes
transmitted to them by their respective
husbands. If any one does not know
that they might do so amid universal de ;
Prence and respect, unassailed by even a
coarse word, his thought grossly slanders
the legal voters of our State.
If this is disallowed—and we see not
why it should be—then let each soldier
seal and transmit his ballot to the Inspec
tors of Election in his district, and let it
be opened by them in public, on the ,day
of election, and the vote polled like Others,
after the right of the voter has' hap estab
lished by proof- Why should t be ob
jectionable?
We wish the vote of every elector
polled but no others.- And how can it be
established in Virginia or Tennessee that
