Wrim urrs , Dzessums to the wisdom
of those called to legislate for the interests of
the State, we cannot refrain from protesting
against the manner with Which the military
bill is being delayed by the offernf absurd and
ridiculous amendment& The idea of
.any
State Proposing to organize a military . foreb ,
and making it exempt from the law or dalls,of
the ,National Government, is supremely
Oulous, and every amendment proposed to
, ssoure Bleb iforee for Peinis'ylvania, is so roubh
' fareichil hnniiliaking and disg,nst
ipg in the 'sight of sensible nn
. earnesi . men.
• /WM military power of the National Govern
- ' Merit is sriprelte over all the States. State
orgaiiize - its_ - militia; but a State cannot
~recruit armies and hold them against,* call
r alba National Government for troops. Hence
the Utter folly of entertaining the ainendnieuts
o .to nullify these plain truths iii
amendments can only be regarded as the
'merest ebidition of partisan rancor—a covert
vt
way of giving expression to treasonswhich se
-4retly railkles at the heart Besides, they de...
ley just legislation, and should therefore
not be entertained at this time: Hence
ever" effort should be made 10 ty4jlie iililitia
bill a speedy passage. -
Tan SECRET VP THE VIOLENCE with which
the'nowntead organs assail the Government
and the people engaged in the effort to put
down the slaveholders' rebellion, is explained
by the fact, that the rebels need the sympathy
of the world, and this course of the copperhead'
organs in the loyal. States is deemed 'the surest
toay to elicit it. The rebel leaders now iusist
that they are not fighting for slavery—that
they care nothing for slavery—that their
struggle is for independence. If they are not
fighting for slavery, why do their organs in
the North so constantly abuse the abolition
'WO' If the rebellion is one for independ
ence, and not for slavery, why is it that the
safety of slavery alone , excites the solicitude
of traitors North and South? These are
questions which such arch-hypocrites as Jeff
Davis and George W. Woodward cannot
plainly answer. But if Davis can deceiv,o the
world with professions of fighting for inde
pendence, and the copperheads in the mean
, tiine.delude the rabble with cries against the
- nigger and the abolitionists, the labor of both
will be performed, even it their Object ,fai4
OFFICERS' ORDNANCE ACCOUNTS.

know, that where it is possible to do so,,
.'. duet Should transact' their oWn l iitisiness with;
the Orditatusis Department, either personally
or AO lettei'; Great care is taken, - to'reply
promptly to all communications, and it is the
intention of the dePartment, while. it holds
every officer to a strict accountability for ord
nance property, ' tck , afford him freely every
. facility kits power necessary to a correct and
speedy adjustment of his accounts. • We , are
ghtd to hear that the Ordnance Bureau has
come to this ,decision of facilitating the set
tlement of officers' ordnance accounts, as
heretufsrellgreati -personal injury has been
done brave anithonetikuen .by the decisions
of the Mei Of • the Ordsaucei Bureau. When
the war waifirst piecipitated, , 11. 3 .13 T o.f, the
volunteer officers were unacquainted with the
nature of, such accounts, many more were
Pined on duty where it was impossible
keep a record, and yet these were all held to
a Add answer, the same as if they were old
officers, familiar with the entire routine of
the service. Such men as these siagered..un
justly. Many still continue to suffer. Hence
we are glad to hear that the head of the Ord;
nonce Bureau has concluded to facilitate the
Settlement of Sccorilitaim.its books. It would
be well if the head of every 4,4iaiiiiient and
bureau connected with the Govetnrnent would
also afford the people like theititie*.

China and Japan open to foreigners, he again
returned to the academy, passed his-final ex.

to the sloop-of-war Brobklyn, under command
of Captain Farragnt, who was directed by

plied for active service, was detached, came
home, and on the 21st of April received or
ders to the frigate Sabine, Commodore Ring

as executive officer, until - October, 1863, the
ship then going out of commission at Boston.
He then applied to the department for service
on an iron clad, and was ordered to the Mon
itor Tecumseh, Commander T. A. M. Craven,
• then nearly:completed. On - the 23d of April,
1864, she Sailed for, and arrived safely at
Hampton Roads, and, after a short stay in
James river, left for Mobile to assist in the re
duction of that place, under the gallant Far
' ragut (for whom,' - personally ' and profession
' ally,' Mr. Kelley has alwdys entertained the
highest'regard and admiration,) and, in lead
ing the fleet past the • forts, the Tecumseh
was blown up by £1 torpedo and totally
stroyed, with nearly all her officers roid crew,
among them the hrave and accomplished en
gineer, John Faron, an ornament to his pro
