Our Prisoners at Richmond
Corporal Bimini, of the New 'York Twenty
regiment, recently released from Moh
amed, is engaged in writing some interesting
adobes of his captivity, for the Rochester Ex
press,. We copy the following paragraphs :
The Surgeon.
The head surgeon of the eatabliahment was Dr.
Peachy, of Richmond. He had a numerous carps•
of assistants, consisting principally of medical stu
dents, who hell gladly availed themselves of the
opportunity to engage at once in an extensive, if
not a suocessful practice. Dr. Peachy himself is
au amiable, kind-hearted gentleman whose eympa-,
eke seemed deeply enlisted in , beikelf of his un-,
fortunate patients, and mannikins in his prefes=
sional attentions.
Sisters of. Charity.
The Sigler* of Charity, of Richmond, had
'leered their aervieet hi'belmitnrthe wounded, and;
mw i poor folloir would gladly • testify to their
kiM and unremitting attention.
Vlsitins and kbpsea
. ,
Hardly - were ,
the trisoneri be stowed, in hospital ,
QUartere , before the Ellice Morally swarmed with .
TiontOwil.; The•greater portion or them were ladies, ,
who • brought us dainties of every description , an&
in 801:00 instances articles of Underclothing; which'
were greatly needed. It is undoubtedly the tact that
the benevolence of many of these ladies was,
- prompted by re - snort - of Iciyeltylci "the Federal gio
vernment, which in no other way 000ld find a prao-1
: bleat expression.
Undoubted Unionism
-Among them was at lead one a lady of the high.:
eat social and political commotion' in Richmond ' ',
whose name (which I would gladly publish)l - ant
induced from prudential Motives to withhold. On
the day of our arrival oho visited the hospital,,,at
teeded by a female Companion and a negro servant,
bearing baskets generously laden with luxuries of
every kind. for peahens' also, Were ()rammed with
plug tobacco and cakes ,of Castile soap; which she
clandestinely distributed among the patients. To
her him:louse:o ingenuity I was indebted 'for the
secret coonveyanOe of the first letter which I was en
abled to write, and also the first, es I was afterward
informed, which left Richmond from the prisoners
- taken at Sall Rua.
The anxiety of this kind- lady to more folly re
lieve the distresses of the wounded prisoners finally
•!ov.ennune her discretion, end her work of benevo
lence was, stopped by a formal investigation. It
was argued by the hospital authorities that the
Confederate wounded were more properly the sub
jests for the,exeraise of Southern benevolence, and
that the extravagant charities bestowed upon the
Yankees"-were - evidence of a- ~ -U nion"- e outi
Mont that should; fekbe tolerated.
The /My in It/ashen as well as others, equally
generous, were gro's'sly assailed by the Richmond
Frees, and were afterwards prohibited from admin
istering to our comfort, and finally were reflised
admission to the hospital. In this ocnneetion, I may
state that several of our lady visitors informed me
that they belonged in the North, but wore coin-
Felled to remain in Rialimond. One lady whose
acquaintance I made in the hospital informed me
that the stars and stripes were concealed in her
house, and she only waited a favorable opportunity
ding them to the breeze !
A Confederate Fraud
It will be remembered that in Norfolk an order
was issued asking all "alien enemies" who desire to
return North to report themselves at a given time
to the Confederate authorities, and they would be
thou sent Under a flag of truce to Fortress Monroe.
ds a result, a large number who had succeeded in
evading suspicion presented themselves at the place
Indicated, where their names were registered. Butt
instead of being sent to Fortress Monroe, they wore
arrested and sent to Biehmond. Here, of course,
they were subjected to a system of espionage esta
blished by King Jeff to promote the safety of his
-Confederate despotism.
Amputation
The amputating room was in the centre of the
building, within easy call of any part pf the hos
pital, and the frightful cries of the unfortunate sub
jects, while undergoing surgical operations, added
a tenfold torture to the pangs of those who were in
waiting. :Upon the averse, as the physicians esti
mated,,but one in ton survived their amputations.
Consequently, when one of our number was removed
to the 'amputating table," we felt that we looked
upon him for the last time. These operations fre
quently lasted from one to two hours, the patient
being under the influence of chloroform and whisky.
Frequently the subjaet survived several days, but
in great suffering.
Mr. Merrill, after relating several oases of sur
gery, of a very distressing nature, thus describes
one of a different sort
A Bogus Sufferer
A young man was borne into the hospital who re
resented that he had saves ballots in his body.
Bill suffering had excited much sympathy at Ma
nassas, and ho bad to be carried to the cars on a
litter. His groans drew tears from even the Con
federate guards, and every one who approached
-him expressed the opinion that it was the most
shocking ease that had been found. He was han
dled with exceeding carefulness and placed upon a
cot, not, however, without extorting the most ter
rible groans. Dr. Peachy approached him and in
quired as to the nature of his wounds. "Seven
bullets," was the reopens°. " But aro they ?"
continued the Doctor. "One of them went in my
ear, and I feel it in my head," was the reply.
"]tut you ean't find it, and there's no use of
trying."
As to the locality of the other wounds, he pro
fessed ignorance, with the exception of one, which
be said had shattered his foot. The foot was exa
mined, and the heel of it was found to be slightly
contused. Finally, he confessed that this was the
extent of his injuries. He had feared that unless
dreadfully wounded he would be roughly treated,
if not put to death, and bad accordingly determined
to resort to Yankee tricks. It was high! y . BllOOOBB.

by no other title among his prison associates to this
day.
General Lane at Chicago.
'General Jim Lane arrived at Chicago, Wednes
day night, euld had a cordial 'reception. Ills wife
was with him. The ,General made a speech, on
the baloney of the Tremont House, in the - coarse
of which he observed :
It, is no time for talking now, but for action. We
Dave consumed eight months in inactivity, have
'waded:three hundred millions of dollars, and Pier--
Iced twenty-five thousand lives, and turned this
country.npside down in our insane endeavors to
pit down this infernal rebellion and save slavery.
tell yon it can't be done, and the Government has
come to that conclusion. Let me tell you, confi
dentially, that, on Monday last, they opened a new.
set of books, and mane to the oonolusion, if the
Union can't be saved and slavery noted, than down
goes slavery. The rebels have either got to submit,
to dieor to run away. I tell you the time has ,
come when play must step. The rebels must sub.
Mt or be sent down forthwith to the hell already
yawning to receive them.
The desirable consummation was effected by a
compromise The radical men agreed that the
conservative men should carry en the war accord
hog to their notions for eight months, provided they
were allowed the next eight. The time is up for
the conservatives, end they now hand the war
and its conduct over to the radicals, and every
conservative man should now extend the same en
couragement and support which we gave to them
in the prosecution of their method.
There arc in the South 610,000 strong and loyal
male slaves who have fed and clothed the rebel
army, and have as good as fought upon their side.
Government now proposes that, these loyal slaves
shall now feed and clothe our army, and fight upon
our side. •
The other day while I was talking with the Pr&
sident, Old Abe said to me, "Lane, how many
black - men do you want to have to take care of your
army?" I told him, as my army would number
84,000, I proposed to have thirty-four thousand
contrabands In addition to my teamsters and wagon
masters. I consider every one of my soldiers en
gaged in this glorious Ornsade of Freedom a knight
errant, and entitled to his squire to prepare his food,
black' his boots,. - ; load his gun, and take off his
drudgery. Vanity and pride are the necessary ad
juncts of the soldier, and I do not propose to lower
him by menial offices, nor compel him to perform
the duties of a slave. So, while I shall elevate the
slave by giving him his freedom and making a man
of him; I shell also elevate the soldier and leave
bhp nowork to do but fighting.
EAVOLve in the crowd-." What are you going to
do with the niggers?") .
'The General singled out the owner of the yoke,
and pointing his long . finger at him, replied :
my friend ; you are J lust the man have been look
ing for. I will tell you what lam going to do with
them. lem going to plant them on the soil of the

vernment extend a proteationtothem, as it does to
the Elndians, • and send superintendents and go
vernors among them, and pay them wages for their

black and white labor.": He believed, wliethor the
rebels liked the idea or not, that the blacks at no
distant day would have posseMion of that Gulf
country, to Which they were acclimated and physi
cally conditioned.

[Correspondence of The Frees.]
Citalr PIERFONT, Ve,, Tan. 23,1832
The exciting contest that has agitated our regi
ment for several weeks terminated yesterday in
the election of Captain Hugh N. McNeil, of Gem+
pony D, to Ell the vacancy occasioned by the resig
nation of Colonel Charles J. Biddle. His only op
ponent was Lieutenant Colonel Thomas L. Kano,
who received two hundred and. eighty.fiye votes
out of a Poll of 'seven hundred and ninety-three;
the balance were all cast for Captain McNeil.
Colonel McNeil is a native of Auburn, New
York, quite a young man, by profession a lawyer,
,and was for several years connected with one of the
public departments at Washington. At the break
ing out of - the rebellion, he was engaged as cashier
of a bank at Warren, Pennsylvania, but his patri
otism could not brook the insult offered to our Hag
at Port Sumpter. He-resigned his position, joined
a company then being 'formed by Captain (now
Major) Stone, and entered vigorously into the study
of his new vocation. - He was elected first lieu
tenant, and, with the company, floated down the'
Alleghenyin open boats to Pittsburg, where orders
were received to proceed at once to Harrisburg,
and join Kane's Regimeint of Rides. Captain Stone
having been selected-te fill the post of major, Lieu
tenant McNeil was at one() chosen captain, without
opposition: He leas.with the regiment during its
short but important career-in Western Virginia,
under General McClellan, and distinguished him
self at Dranesville by his tool and intrepid oonduot.
Col. Kano havingbeen assigned to the command
of the troops on our .right, upon that occasion, in

led the battalion in the 'charge -upon the enemy's
battery. The esteem in which ho is hold by the
members of the regimonti and their appreciation of
- his gallantry and ability, is strikingly shown by the
heavy majority he received yesterday. Notwith.
standing the amount of influence, outside the regi
ment, that was brought to bear against him, nearly
two-thirds of the ballots were oast in his favor.
Under the command of our gtillant young leader,

may be required of us in the coming campaign. lie

GAUP KELLY, NOME BRAM:III MIDGE, Md.,
January 20,1902.
On the 10th instant, while at Hauoock, we II:l
-eaved orders to march to Cumberland, Md., and
report to Gen. Kelly. Wo left at eight o'clock at
night—as usual without rations, from a deficient
commissary department. The regiments that wore
ordered up .to Cumberland—i. e., the Thirty-ninth
Illinois, the Eighty fourth and One Hundred and
Tenth Penm—were ordered tc , supply themselves
with two days' cooked rations. On the presenta
tion of the order to the brigade or post commissary,
the answer was, nary a ration on hand." Tho
mon started off, however, without a murmur, on a
march of forty miles over the mountains, to the re
lief of their brethren near Cumberland. We arrived
there about three P. M. of Saturday, having
marched all night. When we arrived at Cumber.
land we found all things comparatively safe, and
extensive arrangements on hand for an advance
into Dixie. The Pennsylvania regiments have boon
brigaded as follows: The Eighty-fourth, Colonel
Murray, to the First Brigade, Colonel Kimball,
Fourteenth Indiana Volunteers commanding; the
One Hundred and Tenth, Col. Lewis, to the Third
Brigade, Col. Tyler commanding Brigadier General
Lander's division. There is a full supply of com
missary stores at Cumberland, and of the very best
quality. The army of the upper Potomac, is fatly
organized, under the leadership of the gallant
Lander, and you may soon hear of some more of his
brilliant exploits. His name is a tower of strength
and a dread to the Secesh.
The 84th is encamped in company with several
regiments at this crossing of the river, six miles
distant from Cumberland. The General's quarters
is at Patterson's creek, three miles below, in Vir
ginia. Troops aro as plenty as gnats in midsum
mer in this neck of timber The 110th is encamped
about a mile south of Cumberland, at the con
fluence of Mill's creek and the Potomao. I under
stand the Colonel has been confined to his room for
some days with a severe attack of quinsy; he is
now much better, sad I hope will be able to take
the field at an early day. 'Wherever they go
the Keystone boys carry with them the good wishes
of the people, for their good conduct and soldierly
bearing. We are now on the qui vive ; something's

last. You will hear of us all very soon; till then

INTERESTING LETTER FROM THE lION. A. S. RIVEN
The Elmira (N. Y.) Press publishes tho following
letter, written to one of his constituents by the
Hon. A. S. Diven :
WASHINGTON, January 12, 1862.
DEAR SIR lam in receipt of yours of the 9th.
I am not astonished at your anxiety about the ad
vance of our army. I am quite satisfied, as you
are, that whatever risk may attend it, (and, de
pend upon it, it is very great,) it has become,
not a military, bat a political necessity. As a
mere military operation, it is of very doubtful
expediency. Moving so largo a force of un
disciplined troops against an enemy entrenched
must be attended with great risks. There is no
doubt the rebel generals are anxiously waiting and
hoping for the experiment on our part. There is
all the difference in the world between advancing
a great army on en entronohed enemy, and the same
army resisting an attack. In the one ease the
generals have leisure to place their men and give
them their instructions when all is cool and their
ordorc are comprehended. In the other, men must
be moved amid the excitement of battle, and one
mistake disarranges the whole order of battle, if it
does not lead to a general panic. This difficulty
increases just as the army increases in size. With
a regiment, a battalion, or even is division, you
can no overlook and change plans, marsh and
countermarch, as circumstances may arise, but
in a grand army, without experienced officers
and disciplined troops, confusion would bo in
evitable. There is no doubt of our success if
the enemy were to attack us, or if they wore to
come out of their entrenchments and moot ns on
equal footing. But when wo come to attack them, a
email accident may throw us into confusion and rout.
The enemy have tried to provoke this attack. The
blockade of the river is meant for nothing elan, and
is so well understood by military men. Notwith
standing all this, we must fight ; there aro times
when we must incur ono risk to escape another.
A man will risk his life on a very frail ladder to
escape from a burning chamber. And now, such is
the state of feeling, in Congress and out of it, that
our fate must be decided by the cast of a die.
It ought. not to be so, but is eo. Patience
and confidence, long suffering and sacrifice, would
render our success certain. But our people lack
those elements, and the Government, must incur the
risk of a battle, or break down financially for lack
of support from the people. I think the Govern
ment comprehends this, and as soon as possible
will gratify the publics demand for a great battle.
It will bo a system of battles, commencing, I think,
In the West, with Cairo for a base; on the East,
from Fortress Monroe, or perhaps Burnside's Ex
pedition from Roanoke ; and the grand battles on
the Potomac. This is conjecture. But the interse
tion to fight is not conjecture with me. I know.
Now, about our Lieut. General—l am sorry there
should be wanting confidence in him. He has
brought an army that, six months ago, was nothing
but an armed democracy, to a state of discipline, that, ,
so far as more field manoeuvres are concerned, is
certainly a creditable army. He himself has con
fidence in it. He has performed wonders in pre
paring equipments and putting his army in condi
tion for what he knows is inevitable—an attack
upon the enemy's defences. Ile is gathering from
all parts of the country all 'the regulars, and con
centrating them here, for a duty that none but
veterans can perform, and the more I study his
plans the - -slore I believe in him. If he loses the
battle he is about to fight, I shall not change my
opinion of him. I have not time, but will try and
find time soon, if facts are not made public, to
satisfy you that be is in no sense to blame for the
Ball's Bluff disaster.
Now, about what the Government shall do rela
tive to the negro question.
Yon say, first, confiscate the slaves of rebels.
Now are you going to confiscate negroes or any
thing else? We must first establish courts where
trials can he bad if we confiscate by the authority
of law. Our Constitution is wonderfully speoifie in
saying that no man shall be deprived of property
without due process of law. All that we capture
by our army may be said to be tro phies of war,
so all that fall i nto our hands in our mili
tary operations. We have a clause in our Con
stitution for , disposing of prizes and captures
by land and sea; but our right to dispose of
them grows out of their capture. All the way in
'which we can dispose of rebel property, then, con
sists in its capture and appropriation by the usage,
'of war, until we shall re-establish civil authoritys
when we can try men for treason,, and confiscate
'their estates, We might as well, if at war with
:England, talk of confiscating her cotton-mills be
fore we had possession of theisland, as to confiscate
the property of rebels before they aro conquered.
' 2. Yon say, prohibit military offiaers returning
'runaway slaves. Now, if by this you mean .that
'our military officers shall not become slave-
Azatchers or executors of the fugitive•slave law, I
'am with you. But if you mean that sue army, in
Kentucky, for instance, shall be employed to de
prive loyal mon of their slaves, I am ,not with
you. Wo hive a largo army in Kentucky, and
,we kayo in Kentucky most loyal supporters of
the Government who are slavoowners. A very
argo majority of the' people of this State
ire loyal as you or I. Now, suppose our
army encamps among the pffintations of Kentucky,
'would you use the camp as a means of depriving
;the master of every slave you could get in it If
you let slaves in the camps, and don't let their
masters in to take them nut by virtue of tho laws of
Kentucky, then it must be plain that you use your
army to overthrow the laws of Kentuoky, and to
deprive Kentuckians of their slaves, however loyal
They may be. That. certainly, is not what our
army has been created for.
3. You say, do something at once to carry out
the President's plan of colonization. Amen, with
my , whole heart, Make prise and capture of just
as many of the enemy's slaves as we can, and colo
nize them; or dispoie of them in any way consistent
with humanity, That is my whole slave policy. I
don't think this demands that we should purchase
a province or suppott a colony.
Hayti will take and provide for every negro we
can send her. It is better for us, better for the
negro, to send him where he will be governed by
rulers of hie own race.
I have made Chia a long letter. But lam always
gratified to communicate with constituents, and
em by no means so conceited but that I holm to
profit by their advice,
Yours truly,
LEGISLATIVE INVESTIGATIONS-POLITICAL non•
DIES OF OLD POLITICIANS-PROSPEOT OF A LONG
SESSION -LEGITIMATE LEGISLATION NOT YET
COMMENCED.
[Correspondence of The Press.]
flannisnunn, January 25, 1802.
The nation is involved in a consuming war—a
FM for the exiatenoo of the brightest nationality
in history. The patriotism of the people Is appeal
ed to by the Government to give its wealth, its
confidence, its strong arms, to drive treason back to
defeat and death; and the response has bewildered
the world by its promptness and exhaustless extent.
Six hundred thousand loyal sons are in the tented
field, to maintain the national flag and honor. They
ask only that their Governments shall second them
at home; that the mousing politician shall for a
timoforget his waya; and that loyal authorities shall
be sustained by all loyal men, hand'in hand, and
heart to heart.
Pennsylvania stands that among the loyal States
in her contribution .to this war. Her authorities
have surpassed all others in the extent, the per
fection, and in the economy of her preparations.
More men have been furnished, and equalled by
but few and surpassed by none in their equipments
and appointments, by Pennsylvania than by any
other State ; and her record, taken all in all, plants
her pre-eminent in comparison with our sister States
of the North. With over one hundred thousand
mon organized and in service, our credit is fully
sustained ; our treasury has met all the wants of our
vast army, and is prepared to-day to inert the
interest and to pay the quota of our State of the
national tax, without increasing the burdens of
the people so much as a farthing! Lot the peo
ple look to Governor Ourtin's record—to the fruits
of his herculean labors—and they will, with the
accord of every loyal heart, do justioo to his un- '
tiring energy and unfaltering fidelity.
But the people will soon inquire—How does the
Legislature second the patriotic efforts of the
Executive?, Do they strengthen his }Janda and
sustain his masterly policy? or, aro miserable
politicians weaving their slimy shreds to cripple
authority, while the nation is bleeding at every
•pore? Our Legislature has now been in session
three weeks—nearly half the period in which, in
times like these, 'when there is a single, over
shadowing duty to perform, it should employ in
the whole session. The Senate meets from day to
day, and in an hour adjourns for want of business.
It has literally nothing to do. Tho labors of the
Legislature must devolve upon the House. It must
originate the great measures of revenue and appro
priations, and the Senate must await its notion.
And what has the House done? Nearly two weeks
have been consumed in a mania for investigations
—in proposing and discussing inquiries as to the
action of the last Legislature, and the expenditures
of the Executive. Without any direct charge of
fraud against the Executive, any heads of depart
ments, or agents of the State, and without a single
tangible accusation of venality, tho House talks
from day to day, and to what end?
At first the Reuss and the country believed the
effort an honest ono, to reform abuses, to noun in
creased economy, and to erect a higher standard of
legislative purity. It was suspicious, it is true,
that an old canal commissioner, with earnest yearn
ings for the gubernatorial chair, should become the
especial champion of virtue, but the House honestly
recorded the movement until the olovon foot became
manifest ; and now the whole, investigation move
ments are likely to die in the venal embrace of the
political tricksters who originated them. The loyal
and successful admiristration of Governor Curtin
cannot bo attacked manfully, or it would be blas
phemed bitterly and fought boldly; but political
success is held to justify soybeans, and "impeach
ment" is whispered and investigation on general
grounds is proposed, hoping that the party in power
a year ego may bo directly or remotely sustained
by the operations of the lobby, and that thereby a
disloyal Breckinridgo Legislature may be brought
here a year hence, nud select an opponent of the
national Administration to the United States Senate
n place of Judge Wilmot. This is the aim, and the
only aim, of the movements which have kept the
House eta stand-still for two weeks.
WARWICK
Has the Governor done anything worthy of hn
peaehment? If so, or if there is any reasonable
evidence of it, lot Mr. Hopkins present the facts to
the House, and demand the Inquiry. It would then
be proper and necessary, if it consumed a session;
but in the absence of any tangible declaration oven,
much less of proof, is the House to spend a winter
in inquiries, at an enormous east, upon the vague
assumption of Mr. Hopkins that something might
be brought to light? What does he propose to
establish? This is a pertinent question, and one
that be should answer to the House. Ho should
assume the responsibility, without skulking behind
the common-scandal of the political and lobby blank
mailers who infest Harrisburg, so that, if the in
quiry fails, the people may know who is playing
the potty trickster in the hour of national peril.
Has any member of the House been corrupted ? If
ED, he should declare the fact, and give the autho
rity for it, and then demand the inquiry. If ho
shall then establish it, lot the offender bo voted out
of his seat; and if he fail, lot the calumniator of the
House go out disgraced. Has the lobby boon cor
rupt? If so, the Legislature has higher and holier
duties to perform than to inquire after them. Let
the Court of Quarter Sessions be invited to the task,
and justice will not fail to bo administered. Have
army contrasts been allotted corruptly? Jacob
Fry, Jr., Caleb P. Cope, C. F. Abbot, Mr. Hay
wood, and Mr. Rogers have inquired into them
patiently, and they say that no frauds wore
committed of which any of the heads of depart
ments were cognizant. Must the report of such
mon have the endorsement of a legislative inquiry
to commend it to the conildenee of the people?
What notion the House will take on those proposi
tions now, is uncertain. But they aro being better
understood, and it is not improbable that, unless
they are prat in a more manly form, so as to attach
a just responsibility to those who are demanding
them, they will be postponed or voted down. The
Republicans and Union Democrats are beginning to
comprehend that It is a well-matured scheme to
reorganize the broken fragments of a disloyal par
ty, and they will hold the loaders to the strictest
accountability, both in the Legislature and before
the people. SOJOURNER.
Letter from a Maryland Union Man
[Correepondonce or Tho Preto.]
The year closed will, to the reader of history, at
some future day, present a singular page. Events
of startling significance transpired, and problems of
the most momentous character presented them
selves for solution, involving, as far as can be seen
now, the very existence of the Republic. Our
boasted principles, so happily at work for soma
fourscore years, are now to be anew tested and
tried to their very utmost, and the result of this
trial is earnestly watched by all the civilized
nations of the globe. The question after all is, is
man capable of governing himself? Can a Repub
lic, based upon the common consent of the people,
bo maintained? The present contest then 1113, as
often said in The Press, one of life or death.
Even citizens south of Mason and Dixon's lino can
see and understand this. They understand, too,
that the idea of State sovereignty standing superior
to the Union is a heresy of the vilest order, and de
mends the gibbet or the stake. It requires no
special shrewdness to see where such a mischievous
theory would finally land the reasoner. It would
make the State superior to the Union; the county
independent of the State ; the individual indepen
dent of the county, and the last result would bo
sheer individualism, which even the barbarous
and uncivilized tribes do not claim. There must
be a controlling power, if not residing in the Em
peror or King, must bo in the Constitution as
adopted by our forefathers. From this controlling
principle the Secessionists ask to bo freed, and to
accomplish it have plunged themselves and their
States, innocent, contented citizens, women and
children, in horrors untold, from which, alas! for
them, the prospect is extremely gloomy of being
ever freed.
It is amusing and withal heart-sickening to read
of the pitiful appeals and arguments they make to
bolster up their miserable cause. As for example
the wonderful document, the message to the
Senate and House of Delegates, of John Letoher,
Governor of tbo poor, bleeding, suffering "Old
Dominion." What an array of " grievances"
against President Lincoln ! How patriotio the Go
vernor is ! How grievously borne down is poor
Virginia under this monstrous weight of the Presi
dent ! Poor Virginia ! Poor Confederacy ! It:re
minds ono of the ungovernable child in the family,
who, when nursed and raised, and is able to do for
Itself, turns and "files a bill of grievances" against
the parental roof, and wishes to bo "lot alone."
The question resolves itself simply into this, can, or
rather has the Government the will and the power
to maintain itself, crush out rebellion, and uphold
the Constitution and the laws? Hit can, if it suc
ceeds in solving this problem of life or death, the
world will see its strength and it will challenge re
opcct. If it is puny and cannot maintain itself; if
it must be at the mercy of every self-constituted
revolutionist, lot the people know it, and,for the
sake of our own happiness, let us have something
that we may reasonably and safely trust. This is
the problem, and no sensible mind will say that it
is not a solemn one.
In the solution of this knotty difficulty, every
thing in its way should be made to yield. What
are our miserable parties—what the pet theories—
what the political hobbies of politicians—on which
many attempt (many succeed) to ride into °Moo,
in comparison to our Union? The country first al
ways; then secondary matters Every lover of the
Union, of his own and the happiness of unborn
generations, must rise superior to the spirit of fa
natical. party, and must be a patriot—be willing, to
pledge anew "his life, his fortune, and his sacred
boner," in maintaining it—an end devoutly to be
wished.
In the prosecution of this high end, the Adminis.
tration has a critical and withal a delicate work to
perform. Wo only see the difficulty now of making
our system of government work harmoniously,
These era special times, and the machinery of State
is specially taxed. Every one, it seems, claims to
advise the President, the Cabinet, the General-in-
Chief—if we are to judge from our newspapers.
Bence their delicate task. The question is : Has
the country confidence in these men? The Cabi•
A. S. Dui-Et(

January 18,1882
not, in its late difficulty with England, showed it•
self equal to any emergency. Can we confide in
our leader of the Federal forces? His work in
'Western Virginia, and the herculean labor per
formed while in command.of the army of the Po.
tomes, challenge it. And now, why not, in the
name of our common country, let him and his ad
visers alone? Why does he not move? Why the
delay ? are questions eagerly asked. Simply, in
one word, as reply, because he is not ready. But
then, it is said, this delay will ruin the country.
To all of which the patriotic heart responds—''We
give men and money, and though it should require
everything we possess to uphold and vindicate the
Constitution, let it be," as even slaveholders say,
"The last man, the last dollar, and the last slave,
before we yield the Union."
'What is needed now is, do not press nor urge
what the best military minds adjudge imprudent.
When ready there will be a grand advance, and
let our patriotism endeavor, in patience, "to pos
sess itself "
In this delicate question, there is another one
affecting many Union men south of Mason and.
Dixon's line, and that is, the question of emaneipa-'
tion. Here is a volcano which, by being agitated,.
may swallow up all our hopes. Make that a point,
in this unfortunare_contest; let the people under•
stand that that is one objoot of the war, and thou
sands now ardent for the protection of the Union
will veer round and forsake the Administration,
and thousands mere deliver up their muskets and
go home.- Make it a point, and our hope of a glo
rious Union vanishes, the hope of a restoration be
forever wiped out, and our mind at least will be
prepared for woes upon our unhappy country un
numbered, and judgments terrible in the extreme,
to which Jewish history furnishes no
Then her glory is gone. If that question must be,
solved, (and would that the cause had never been'
known on' these shored,) it , mustoome from itself—
time must do the work. Let, than, the policy or.
the Government be kepbsteadily before the people,
, the country, the world—no interference with State,
laws that conform to the Constitution—no subjuga-,
tion, but ant , a preservation—the enforcement of,
the time-honored Constitution and our wholesome :
laws, and then the wind will bo taken out of the
,sails of the C S. A., and the ship be loft high and:
dry, their soldiers return home, States return to
their allegiance, and the leaders handed over to
.their just deserts. D.
GENERAL NEWS,
THE SIIMPTEN NOT AT t3Anrz•—The Montreal
Advertiser, which is thoroughly in the interest of
the rebels, and has manifested an accurate know
ledge of their affairs, makes tivi following statement
concerning the rebel privateer at Cadiz :
llThe Confederate privateer, or rather public
armed ship, which has been playing the mirth of .
with American ships off Cadiz, is not the Sumpter,
which is yet on her old beat ; but one of the now
vessels for which the Nashville took officers to
Europe. Her name, and that of her consorts, will
be known soon enough ; in the meantime there will
be weeping and wailing among the underwriters of
Federal war risks."
A MEETING of captains and ship owners has
boon hold in Liverpool, for the purpose of en
dorsing and encouraging the Government scheme of
granting commissions to merchant captains and
officers in the Royal Naval Reserve.

The repugnance of meet patients to COD-LIVER
OIL, and the Inability of many to take it at all, has in.
duced various forms of disguise for its administration

thorn answer in special cases, but more often the vehicle
neutralizes the usual effect of the Oil, proving quite as
unpalatable and of less therapeutic value. The repng
nonce, nausea, &c., to invalids, induced by disgust of the
Oil, is entirely obviated by the use of our CAPSULES.
