GREAT SPEECH OF GOVERNOR ANDREW
. JOHNSON, OF TENNESSEE. 7
The Union candidate for the Vico Presidency
made a remarkable speech at the monster meeting
in Ijoganeporfc, Indiana, on tho 4th inst.. These ex
tracts are suggestive of its general power and appli
cation: ■ . • . ■
Where do we stand to-day, and where did the
* Democratic party stand a low years ago 1 X stand
now precisely where if did; and if there is a Demo
: crat here to-day, X have a few words to say to him,
' [Several voices, “ Hore we are.”] I am glad we
are hereto-day. Here stands the Senator of a great
sister State, with whom we differed in years gone
by; but when the question comes up, “Shall the
nation live or die 1” we find that we are standing
- upon the same platform, struggling for the life of
the nation.' -Thant God, there are some men who
can lift themselves above party prejudices and party,
associations; Thank God, there is some patriotism
still left In the country—[cheers]—that when the
. nation is endangered they can come up and stand'
'by the stars and stripes. „
7. " THE BOORISH TAILOR.”
I.holdihmy hands, from which I wish- to read,
an extract or two, for the benefit of some
old Democrats, and young -ones, too, a let
ter written:, by General Jaokson7himsolf, in'his
own handwriting; and, in handling this rello, uiy
mind goeshack to the times of 1832. When it was
written and published I , was a young man, or
boy, at work in my shop, and heard it road. And
this ’memory of being in my shop calls to mind
what was said when Mr, Lincoln was first nomi
nated. He was called -the rail-splitter, and I saw
to-day you were making good use of the idea;
while the Butternut party was being split to pieces,
>' you said tho TJnibn never could be split. When
the recent nominations were made at Baltimore,
- the;tox-y papers of the country said. They have’ a
rail-splitter and a buffoon for the head of the.ticket,
and “upon the tail they have a boorish tailor.” The
idea, at the' bottom of all this opposition is, that the
man who rises rip from the mass of the people, the
man who advocates the doctrine that man is capa
ble of self-government, has virtue and intelligence
to govern himsolf, should be repudiated. I have
nothing to regret that my early.life was spent in the
shop. X never boaßt of it ini my canvasses, but when
it . is brought up as a reproach I have mat it in the
way it should be met, and he wholfights with, such
weapons is not entitled to the respect of anybody.
Yes, the “ boorish tailor V is put upon the tail of
the ticket. What an insult to the aristocracy, who
want reputation without merit and. without'worth!
Yes, lam a tailor, hut x learned long since, that if
a man does not disgrace his profession it never dis
graces him. [Cheers ] 7 Ana I may be permitted to
say that, when I wee a tailor, I made some pretty
dose fits. [Laughter.] My garments used to be
right well proportioned; but I have seen tailors, at
their own expense, too,, make a.man out of very
scant material. , I usedto be considered a very good
tailor, and got my work done according to promise.
[Laughter and cheers.] So much for the “ boorish
tailor.” One of tho fundamental principles of my
Democracy is, and it is republicanism,, too, that men
* should be rewarded according to merit. It 1b worth
that makes the man, and the want of It: the fellow,
7. JACKSON- OK THE CAUSE OR THE REBELLION.
■And now in. reference to the letter of General
Jackson. Xam free to confess that it was not with
mere admiration that I regarded him; it was al
most veneration. I looked upon him as one of the
purest of patriots; and when -I* handle this letter,
written thirty years ago, and associate it with him
who lies slumbering in the tomb, I feel that I am
touching a sacred thing. It is a letter to Rev. A. J.
Crawford, of Georgia,' dated May, 18S3. What
should prevent you and X, and every other man,
who loves his country; from coming forward and
shaking handß over'the letter, and repeating the
same noble sentiment, that “the Union must be
preserved!”
The old hero and patriot thus speaks:
“I have had a laborious task here; butnuiUfica-.
tion- is dead, and Its actors and courtiers will' only
be remembered by the people, to be execrated-for
their wicked designs to sever and destroy the only
good Government on the globe, and that prosperity
* and happiness we enjoy over every other portion of
the world. Haman’s gallows ought to be tho fate of
all such ambitious men who would involve the coun
try in civil war, and all the evils in its train, that
they might reign ahdride on its whirlwinds, and di
rect the storm. The free people of the United States
have spoken -and consigned these- demagogues to
their proper doom. Take care of your nulllfiers you
have'amongst you. Let them meet the Indignant
frowns of every; man who loves his country. Tho
tariff, it is now known, - was a mere pretext; its
burdens were on your coarse woolens; by the law of
- July; 1832, coarse woolens were reduced to five per
cent, for the benefit of the South. Mr. Clay’s bill
takesdt up, and closes it with woolens at 50 percent.,
reduces it gradually down to 22 per cent., and there
it is to remain ; and Mr. Calhoun and all the nulll
fiers agree to the principle. The cash duty and
home valuation will be equal'to fifteen per cent.
! more; after the year 1842, you pay on coarse woolens
36 per cent. If thls is npt protection, I cannot un
derstand.; Therefore, the-tariff was only the pretext, -
and disunion and a Southern Confederacy the real oh-'
ject. The next pretext will be the negro or the slavery
question .’’ > 7 .: 7
- SLAVERY NOT WORTH BAYINO.
I am free to say for myself, that though I was born
and have resided all my life in a slave State, yet I
' have been'disposed to tolerate rather than advocate
andsustaln it. But “the time has come,” and the
question has to ha settled, whether the Government
ca n stand havingan institution In it which can raise
itself above the Government and defy it 1 This la a
great proposition, lying alongside the doctrine of
free government, that no nation can exist long
while an institution exists within it that rises above
tho power of the nation itself. Slavery, under its
arrogant supporters, has for years substantially con
trolled the legislation of this country. The institu
tion has undertaken to control the Government, and
now what Is the Government to do ! Will it yield
to slavery and acknowledge this institution para
mount! Are the thirty millions of free white people
to be controlled by four millions of blacks, and their
three hundred and forty thousand owners! : [Many
voices, “No;” “no.”] Then the questloncomes up,
which shall go down, the institution of slavery or
this Government ? [Voices, “Slavery.”]
EMANCIPATION-OR . WHITE MEN. -
■While on this subject of emancipation, a word
that is often on thelips of our opposers, let me say to
you that in the emancipation of slaves In the South
you emancipate more white men than you do.black
ones. [Cheers.] And while I advocate the policy
as a principle, 1 am now for making a fair and full
experiment; that is, let all be free, and let them
have a fair start and equal .chance m the race of
life. While I am for this,'and while I believe the
time will come when they can enjoy free govern
ment, still lam for “a white man’s government.”
But if we are white men, and men of principle and
humanity,'■fought'we not be disposed to give the
black man a chance 1 [Voices, “ Yes; yes,”]
Take the narrowest view of the matter you can,
without reference to colonization beyond the United
States; if they are to remain there, their labor can
he made more productive to the State and nation by
their lreedomthan under slavery. Thenegrohasbeen
hitched on to the white man, who has kept him in a
kind of -negative position; his labor has been com
- paratively unproductive; he has been without in
centive, and has worked only as he has been driven
to it. ; ' ' ■
KBOSO KQUAiITy.
I know it Is said by the Copperheads, and others
perhaps, yon want negro equality ; but you can’t
expect the negro to be fit to enjoy.freedom'aftar
having been kept, in: slavery,for a hundred years.
Slavery disqualifies him for freedom, they say; and
: then they insist on keeping him in slavery, to dis
qualify him a lew years longer by way of qualify
ing Wmfor.being a freeman. [Laughter and cheera.]
It is all wrong, and now is the time for cutting up
the whole thing, root and branch, and ■ letting the
black people take their chances with all other human
beings, [Cheerß.] ’ -*
COMEEOMISE WITH THE DEVIL.
But we were talking about peace. Don’t everybody
know that there can be no peace as long as rebels
are encouraged'here, and can hold out there ! You
talk about compromise. Would you have right to
compromise with wrong 1 ! f Voices, “ No, never.”]
Would you havo truth to compromise with false
hood! Virtue to compromise with vice ! ‘ Would
you have Deity in heaven, when Beelzebub, his Sa
tanic Majesty, made war with Michael when he re
belled against heaven, would you have had Deity
hold a parley and ask an armistice 1 [Great and
continued cheers.] All yo angels and heavenly
hosts, stand aside! Fall back from' the: throne of
power; we will seek an armistice with his Satanic
Majesty. Oh! infamy too base to- be thought of.
[Cheers, j
SPEECH OP MAJ. GEN.-JOHN A. HOGAN.
At his homo in Carbondalo, Illinois, last week,
this brave Western corps commander made a speech
oft the Presidential question. It will be remembered
that General Bogan was the especial friend, con
fidential adviser, .and “right-hand: man” of 'the
great Senator Douglas. This fact gives force to
his views of the present Democracy: ’
ITHB BEBEL CANDIDATE 808 VICE PRESIDENT.
There Is such a thing,.you know, as a President
dying; If the Union end of this ticket; should' die,
the treason end would take its place. If they should
elect MeOlellah, and his election should surprise
him so much as to kill him—which Is not unlikely
then Pendleton would take his place'and run the
concern accofding to his own Ideas.
They ask me to vote, for George B. McClellan on
such a platform as this'. I say I won’t do It. [ Ap
plause.] They ask me to vote for George H; Pen
dleton, and I say I should not vote for him on that
or any other platform, for Vice President, or any
other office, If the devil were a candidate against
him. Why do I say so! I served with Mm in Con
gress, and I have been forced and compelled to de
nounce him as a traitor, and I have a good right to
do so to-day. I have heard from his lips In the
halls of Congress, before he was ever thought of as a
candidate, words of treason and disloyalty. He has
denouncedthe war from the time it commenced. He
has neverXyoted a solitary dollar, nor" a single
cent in factor of- prosecuting the war, no mat
ter how the money, was to be expended, whether
for food for the soldiers or for anythiDg : else. Not
one dollar has been voted that could be spent In any
way against the rebellion and In favor of the Go
vernment. I defyTiis friends to-day to point me
to one line or one syllable ever written or uttered by
him in favor of restoring the Government by put
ting down the rebellion ; not a word. But if you
will read his speeches you will find that he has
preached secession ;.you will find that he has advo
cated State Elghtßj.and that he believed thepeople
of the South had'aKrlghtto secede, and the Govern
ment had no right to coerce them back into the
Union. This is the doctrine he has advocated, and
upon that record people ask me to vote for him.
Again, I defy any man to show me his letter accept
ing his nomination on the Chicago platform. Where
is it! Why Is It that no man can find It! '
He has never aooepted that nomination except by
simple acquiescence, and by his being put on the’
ticket. Why Is this, T say:! . Because the Chioago
Convention knew when they adopted that platform
that McClellan would write a soft letter—sort of for
war, saying that he know the Convention was for
war, but they forgot to say so. [Daughter.] They
have prevented G eorge H. Pendleton from writing
a letter; and I venture to say that ho never will
write one; Because,' if they wanted a letter from
him—unless they wrote it themselves—he has been
so much in the habit of speaking treason that he
could not write anything else. It would damn him
before the people, and they know. it.
HIS OPINION OP K’CLBLLAN.
Now, as to General McClellan, I have nought
against him personally. As a soldier Irespoothim;
as a gentleman I respect Mm; but upon that plat
form, as a'politician, I have no respect for him.
' rAmilauso 1 If General McClellan had been a ei
■ vWan whin nomtoated-lf he hatbbeen taken from
the walks of private life—l could have excused him.’
I could have said that: 'h* wa,ssimply mistaken, de
cdlved,'perhaps j but having been a soldier, having
fought under the flag of the American Union, ha
ving heard the soul-stirring sounds of battle In the
s' Union cause; there Is no excuse for him—e one what
ever on tho top of God’s earth—except that he is so
craving- and .anxlous for a little power that he is
■ willing to accept If eyea from traitors.

you were treatedby the dictators at Richmond at

Mr. Jefferson Davis which has come before the pub-,
lie is, that‘the-Confederates seceded to get rfd of

My Dear Sir : Your favor of the 22d was duly:

Want of lime is my excuse, however, for not doing
so. I did not go to New-York. Amos Green, of

here and gave me a full detail of all they did.

purpose of making an independent nomination, but on
the receipt of my despatch of Tuesday night, which
was not received by General Singleton until Wed

■ And, upon the rescinding of the resolution, the Metro

SFIEIT OF THE PRESS.
Geo. JWilliam Curtis, the distinguished author,
nominated for Congress in one of the New York dis
tricts, made the following happy opening to one of
his recent speeches:
'■ There is one major general in the service of the
United States who does not believe In an immediate
cessation of hostilities. There is one general who
did not give the rebels a day to escape up the She
nandoah Valley—a general who Is never late—one
of the early birds that catches all the worms. [Ap
plause.] There Is another major general In the
service of the United States whose words of heroic
loyalty rang like a bugle eall 'through the ranks of
rebellion and secession: “If any,man hauls down.
, the American fiagshoothim bn the spot !” [Cheers.]
My friends," there is another major general in the
service of the United States,- and he says: “If any
man hauls down the American flag,:let us all go at
once Into convention;'and exhaust all the resources
of statesmanship known to the civilized world’ in
order to contrive some means "by which we can coax
him to haul it up again.”.. , h...--';;' 1 --,-.-,
The McClelianiteß of Missouri have proved
their identity with the rebels now advancing under
Price and others by nominating a State ticket, the
principal candidates upon which sustained all the
most treasonable measures of the Secession legisla
ture that -met at the outbreak of the rebellion.
Among their acts of treason, they voted to put all
the railroads into the hands of that arch rebel,
Claiborne Jackson, who burned the Osage bridge
to prevent Captan Lyon from seizing their seces
■ sion plotters at. .Tefforson City. TheJJlissouri Se
cessionists were foiled In their purpose of taking
the State out of the Union, owing to the vigilance
and energy of the United States authorities. But
it is a little singular one of the foremost men en
gaged In this disloyal scheme should be nominated
for Governor, just when the traitors have again in.
vaded the State in large force. .
The evidence adduced in the Dodd trial at In
dianapolis shows that two-thirds of Yallandigham’s
order were armed; that the number enrolled in the
lodges of Illinois was 40,000, in Missouri 40,000, in
St. Louis alone 20,000; (it was already in testimony
that Indiana, haa from 40,000 to 60,000 enrolled;)
that Ohio was to be invaded at three points by John
Morgan or Wheeler -. that Indiana. was to be In
vaded by Long-street, and Missouri by Price and
Marmaduke: that the invading rebels, with Yal
landigham’s Sons' of: Liberty, Were, 1 In all these
States, “to shake hands and; be friends that the
Invasion of Missouri was posted in the order for
Oetohsr, and that it was understood in the lodges
that Price’s (now progressing) would stay in Mis
souri at least until after the election. Yallandig-:
ham’6?chief staff officer seems to have been one
Captain Hines, formerly of John Morgan’s staff,
to whom was committed-the duty of releasing the
prisoners on Johnson’s Island.
The Chicago Tribune has a word of good advice
to our Irish fellow-citizens. Whatever an Irish
man has which ho would not have had If he had re
mained in Ireland, or if ho had migrated to the
Southern States, and worked among the poor white
trash in competition with slaves—in whatever de
gree his home is more comfortable, his children
better educated, or his future prospect brightened,
he is indebted for it all to those ideas and institu.
tions of Northern freedom of which Abraham Lin.
coin is the political representative. Let every Irish
man,'therefore, read the letter of Daniel O’Connell
on the duty of Irishmen to support emancipation In
America; let him reflect on the interest old Ireland
has in the preservation of the Union, and let him
vote for Lincoln and- liberty, and repudiate that
faction .of undemocratic traitors which' is sup
ported by every aristocrat and enemy of Ireland:
in Great Britain. - S j

his magnetic speeches- in; Sandusky last week, to a

“I know-old Abe, and I ten you there is not at
this hour a more patriotic or truer man living than
that man Abraham Lincoln. Some say he Is an
imbecile, but ha not only held his own in-his debates
with Douglas, whose power is admitted, and whom.
I considered the abiost intellect in theUr.it ad States
Senate, hut got a little the better of him. He has
been deliberate and slow, hut when he puts his foot;
down It Is with the' determination and certainty
with which our generals take their steps, and
like them, when he takes a city, he never gives
it up. This firm old man is noble and kind-heart
ed; ho Is a; child of the people. Go to him with a
story of ,woo, and. he; will weep like achild. This
man, so; condemned,; works more hours than any
other President that-ever occupied the chair. His
solicitude for the public welfare is never-ceasing. I
differed from him; at first mys el f, but at last felt
and believed that he was right, and snail vote for
this brave; true, patriotic, kind-hearted man. All
his faults and mistakes you have seen. AII his vlr
i tues you never oan know. His ;patience In labor Is
wonderful. He works far harder than any man In
Erie county. At the head of this great nation, look
;at It; he has all the bills to sign passed by Congress.
Ho one can be appointed to any office without his
approval; no one can be punished without the judg
ment receives his signature, and no one pardoned
•without his hand. Tills man, always right, always
just, we propose now to re-elect to the Presidency.
To swap off such a man as this, my country men; for
MWCiellan, idle, incompetent, and unwilling, would,
in aiy opinion, ho a devilish poor trade.”

THE CONFEDERACY IN ADVERSITY—TWO-THIRDS
OF THE REBEL ARMY AT HOME—MOST OF THEM
ABSENT WITHOUT LEAVE—RICHMOND'S SAFETY
DEPENDENT ENTIRELY ON EARLY—APPEAL FOR
REINFORCEMENTS."
The following speech, made by Jef
ferson Davis at Macon, Qa., Sept. 23, .1864, is er
tractedTrom the columns of the Daily Macon Tele‘s
graph and Confederate of Sept. 24:
A ™ Gentlemen, Friends and Fellow-
Ifc would have gladdened my heart to
, SX 0 ,-, n prospeiity instead of adversity.
But toends are drawn together in adversity. The
1 a, T^°JS s l' l wil ? f °nght through tho first revo
to “Tself if I should for
get tHe t State In her day of neril Whaf thmiiyh
misfortunohas befallen our arms from Decato to
-Jonesboro, our cause is not lost. Sherman cannot
keep up his longline of communication and retreat.
Sooner or later he must; and when thatday comes,
the fate that befel the army of the French Empire
in Its retreat from .'Moscow will bs reacted. Our
cavalry and our people will harass and destroy his
army as did 4he- Cossacks that of Napoleon: and
the Yankaa .General" like him, will escape with
only a body guard. How be the most
speedily effected? By the absenters of Hood’s army
returning to their posts j and will'they not? Can
they see the-banished exiles; can they hear the
wail of their suffering -countrywomen and children
and. not eome ? By. what influences they are made
to stay away it is not necessary to speak. If there
is one who will: stay away .at this hour, he is un
worthy o f the name of Georgian. To the women
no appeal is necessary. They are like the. Spartan
- mothers of old. I know of one who has lost all her
sons, except one, of eight years. She wrote that
she wanted me to reserve a place for him in the
ranks. The venerable General Polk, to whom I
read the letter, knew that woman well, and said,
it was characteristic of her; hut I will not
weary you by-turning aside.to relate the various inci
dents of giving up tho last son to the cause of our
country, known to me. Wherever we go wc find the
hearts and hands of our noble women enlisted. They
are seen wherever, the eye may fall or the step
turn. They have-one duty to perform—to buoy
up the hearts of bur people. I know the deep dis
grace felt by Georgia at our army falling back from
Dalton to the interior of the State. But I was
not of those , who considered Atlanta lost when
onr army crossed the Chattahooehle. I- resolved
that it should not, and I then put a man in com
mand who I knew would strike a manlyblowfor the
city, and many a Yankee’s blood was made to nou
rish the soil before the prize was won. It does not
become us to revert to disaster. Let the dead bury
the dead. .: Let us, with one army, and one effort,
endeavor to crush-Sherman. lam going to the ar
my to confer with our generals. Tho end must be
the defeat of our enemy. It baa bean; said that I
abandoned Georgia to her face. Shame upon suck,
falsehood. Where could the author have been wheat
Walker, when Polk, and when Gen. Stephen D.
Lee was sent to .her assistance. Miserable man.
The man who uttered this was a scoundrel. Ha
was not a man to save our country. If I knew that
a general, did not possess the right qualities to com
mand, wouldl not bewrongif hewere not removed?
Why, when our army-was falling hack from North
ern Georgia, I even heard that I had sent Bragg
with pontoons to cross it to Cuba. .But we must be
charitable: The man who can speculate ought to
be made to take np his,musket. When the : war is
over and our independence won—and we wilt
establish onr independence who will "be our
aristocracy ? I hope the limping soldier. To'the
young ladies I would say that, when choosing be
tween an empty." sleeve and the man who had re
mained at homo and grown rich, always take the
empty sleave. Let the old men remain a-t boms
and make bread, Bat should they know of~&nr
young man keeping away -from the service, who
cannot be made to go any other way, let them write
to/the -Executive. I read all letters sent me from
the people, hut have not the time to reply to them.
You have not many men between eighteen" and
forty-five left.-' The hoys—God bless the boys—are.
asxapidjy asthey become old enough, going- to the
field. The city of Macon is filled with stores, sick
and wounded. ; It must not be abandoned when
threatened, but when the enemy come, instead of
calling upon Hood’s arrnyj* defence, the old men
mnst fight, and when the Ynomy is driven beyond
Chattanooga, they, too, can join in.the general re
joicing. Your prisoners are kept as a sort of Yan
kee capital. I have heard that one of their
generals said that their exchange would de
feat Sherman. I have tried every means, con
ceded everything, to effect an exchange, but to
no purpose. Batter, 'the beast, with whom no
commissioner of exchange wonld held inter
course, had published in the newspapers that If
-we would consent to the exchange of negroes, ail
difficulties might be removed. This is reported as
an effort of his to get himself whitewashed by hold
ing intercourse with gentlemen. If an exchange
could be effected, I don’t know but that I might Se
induced to recognize Butler. But in thefuture eve
ry effort will be given, as far as possible, to effect
• the end. We want our soldiers in the field,-and- we
want the sick and wounded to return home; It is
not proper for me to speak of the number of men in
the field; but this I will say, that two-thirds of our
men are absent, some sick, some wounded, but
most of them absent’ without leave. The man
who repents and goes back to .bis commander vo
luntarily, appeals strongly to Executive clemen
cy. But suppose he stays away until: the war
is over, ana his ’ comrades return -home: and
? when every man’s history will he told, where will
’ he shield himself? It is upon these reflections that-
I rely to make men return to their duty, hut after
conferring with onr generals at headquarters, if
there be any othqr remedy it shall be applied.
I love my friends, and I forgive my enemies: I
have been asked to send reinforcements from
■Virginia to Georgia.. In Virginia the disparity
in numbers is just, as great as it Is in-Georgia.
Then I have -been asked why the army sent to the
Shenandoah Valley was not sent here. It was be
cause an army of-the enemy had penetrated that
valley to the very gates of Lynchburg, and General
Early was sent to drive them back. This* he
not only successfully did, but, crossing- the Poto
mac, came well nigh capturing Washington itself,
-and forced Grant to send two corps "of his army
to protect it. This the enemy denominated- ft
raid. If so, Sherman’s march into Georgia is a
raid. "What would prevent them now, if Early was
'Withdrawn, from taking Lynchburg and putting a
complete cordon of men around Richmond ? I coun
selled with that great and grave soldier, Gen. Lee,
upon all these points. My mind roamed over-the
wnole field. "With this we can succeed. If one-half
the men now absent without leave will return to
duty we can defeat the enemy. With that hope I
am going to the front, I.may not realize this hope,
but I know there are men there who have looked
death In the face too often to despond now. Let no
one despond. Let no one distrust, and remember
that, if genius Is the beau ideal, hope is the reality.
The Charleston Memory gives vent to the follow
ing expression of mingled , incredulity and disgust
in regard to the piteous howling of the «Chief
Magistrate:”- .
We make no comments upon this speech, but wa
cannot refrain from expressing our profound regret
that such a speech should have’ been said to have”
been delivered by the Chief Magistrate of the Con
federate States, for we cannot make up our minds
that he delivered it. We hope speedily to be able ta
deny its authenticity.
General STooJter’s Order ou Assuming
Command - of the Northern Depart
ment. ■ ■■■■*.- '---' r
Tho following order Iras been Issued by General
Hooker in assuming command of this Department:
“ Headquastees Northern Depaetment, '
• CoiTjitEirs, October 1, 1864.
“ Gekebae Op.webs, No. Tl.— ln conformity with'
special orders 263, dated 'War -Department, Sep
tember ' 28th, 1864, the undersigned assumes com
mand of the Northern Department, embracing the
States of Michigan, Ohio, Indiana,- and Illinois.
Cincinnati being the most convenient and central
pointfor the despatch of business, the department
headquarters will he removed to that city' on
the 6th instant. To promote uniformity in or
ganizing, the department is subdivided into
four districts, each State forming one district. The'
.headquarters of the district in Michigan will be
at Detroit, and that of Ohio at Columbus. Officers
of suitable rank will be assigned to these commands
as soon as practicable. Until such assignments are
made, the official duties ofthe district will be trans
acted as heretofore.' The districts of Indiana and.
Illinois will remain under their present command
ers. The Commanding General requires' energy,
earnestness, and fidelity in the performance of duty
on the part of every officer and soldier in the de
partment. The trust and responsibility reposed in
each and all will be carefully and fully extended.
No one will consider theday as ended until the du
ties it brings have been discharged. Commanders
of districts will uniformly hold their troops
in readiness for service as regards - Instruc
tions, ammunition, "and clothing, either ia
or out of the department, at an hour’s notice.
The utmost diligence and vigor are enjoined oh; the
part of officers upon whom the drafting now in pro
gress has devolved, and also upon the officers en
gaged in forwarding the men to the field. The im
mediate reinforcement of our armies Is a necessity
to the full realization of. the hopes and expectations
of the nation. Officers entrusted with the, safe
keeping of the prisoners in the department will ex
ercise unceasing vigilance in the performance of
their duties. Tficseiaving the department, of pub
liCtprdperty in charge will look well to its protec
tion. ' :; ■ ’ ' Joseph Hooker,4

Ann Three of the Lakh Erie Pirates.—Oar
readers will.recollect the recent attack on a gang of
laborers on the Ohio and Mislssippi Railroad; with
tho design of robbing the paymaster’s car, and the
plundering of several; depots and stores, along.the ,
line of the above named road In Southern Indiana.
Satisfied that there was an organized gangof'despe
radoes St work, the directors of the Ohio and Mis
sissippi Railroad entrusted tho task of ferreting out
the villains to the well known Jesse Worley, of this
city, who executed, his mission with much success,
as the* sequel will show. On Friday last, assist
ed by Officer W. S. Henkle, of Sullivan, Sulli
van county, Indiana, he arrested, In the vici
nity of- the last named place, sixteen of the
band who attacked, the: train. One of them was
.killed in attempting to escape the hands of the law,
while the others were safely lodged In jali. iThey
are all residents of the neighborhood of Sullivan,
with the exception of their leader, one Captain.
Yandyke, formerly connected with John Morgan.
Ho is also in custody. Large amounts of-stolen
goods have been found in their possession, and
of their guilt there is no .doubt, as . each ds
desirous of turning State’s evidence against' his
accomnllees. The capture of these freebooters
led to* even more important arrests. While ;in
Sullivan on Saturday, Mr. Worley observed,three
suspicious characters, whom he at once had arrestad
and searched. From.papers found on their persons
it appeared that they were officers in the rebel af my
—a Captain Clay Wilson, of Tennessee, and two
lieutenants, named Murray and Damon. - The pa
pers also showed that they were connected with the
late piratical demonstration on lake Erie, and that
they were plotting the destruction of Government
arsenals bud other public buildings. Among their
effects were recipes for making Greek fire, and a.
quantity of the chemicals which euter into its com
position. They were lodged in jail, and the authori
ties at Indianapolis notified of the facts. — Cincinnati
