HARRISBURG, PA
THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 22, 1864.
An Illustration of the Working of Re
publican Institutions.
We have been almost four years in finding
the right men for the right places in the army.
When the war was precipitated, and Mr. Lin
coln saw that only a resort to arms could
vindicate the outraged honor of the Govern
ment, the nation insisted that only the gradn
ates of West Point were fit to lead armilis and
direct battle. In the frensy of treason, the
South seduced the ablest officers of the regu
lar army to espouse its cause. The Govern.
ment scarcely knew wboni, at that hour, to
trust. Its dependance was alone on the people
of the free and loyal States—the intelligent
mechanics and laboring men of the country.
Of these there was one who abandoned a pros
perous business, in this city; who, at the very
first growl for war, unbuttoned his shoemak
er's apron, oast aside his tools, promising
never again to return to his bench until the
rebellion Was put down and the authority of
the Government established in the States
where it had been repudiated. This man be
came, as it were, Pennsylvania's first scout:
Going out with • the "three months' men," he
amused himself by raiding, - alone, along the
Potomac, where, with unerring rifle, he be
came a terror to the rebels who infested the
upper banks of that river. On his return at
the expiration of his first enlistment, Gov.
Curtin at once recognized the noble deserts of
hisiallant scout. He was placed at the head
of a reginient, and from that day to this hour,
no soldier in the armies of the Republic 1141
conducted himself with more devotion to the
cause than he of whom we write. He partici
pated in many of the battles of the Army of the
Potomac—he it was who covered the master
ly retreat of. Banks through the Shenandoah
Valley, bringing up the rear almost alone,.
with an iron will and undaunted courage
equal to those which characterized the valor of
the immortal Ney as he covered one of the
• disastrous retreats of the French army under
Napoleon. From the East our hero was de
tached for duty in the South-west, leaving a
brigade here, to assume command ,of a • bri
gade there. We will not follow him through
his battles with Grant and Sherman; Thomas'
and Hooker. He was with them all, daring
all that the bravest dared—plucking victory
from the jaws of death--planting his flag over
fallen enemies, and striking the last blow at
routed armies, until to-day, Major General
Thomas bears high ad noble testimony to
the brilliant and incalculable services of Brig.
Gen. Joseph F. Knipe. We sometimes feel
diffident in referring to such men; lest . our
regard for them lead us into extravagance
while expatiating on their merits. But theie
are the men who truly illustrate the sublime
Working of Republican institutions: Four
years ago, a sign on Market street;
bore the inscription, "JOSEPH F. KNIFE, Boot
and Shoe Maker." To-day, in the archives
of the nation; is contained an official
paper, in which, to the name of the shoemaker,
is added the proud title of Brigadier General,
with noble acknowledgments of his valor and
his trust, his virtue and his daring. During the
Mexican War, General 'Knipe served as a
private, participating in the defence of Fokt
Brown, opposite Matamoras, and afterwards
taking part in almost allthe battles up' to the
conquest of the`city of Mexico.; When his term
of enlistment •expired, he returned
business. He will do so again when the re!
hellion is ended, and in this still further inns',
trate the influence of Republican institntiou&
It is on such men the -Republic rests its tamp,
its tatfety and its•prosperity. All honor, - then,
to the heroes of the work-bench, as well as
the heroes of the war!.
Th• Tres.inkent of Our Prisoners.
The brutality and fiendishness with which
our prisoners have been treated by those rep
resenting the traitors' cause, has at length
attracted the attention of Congreshl Resolu:
tions have been offorded in the 'Senate and
Howe, instructing the. respective Committees
of Military Affairs to inquire into the tratkof
the statements concerning this treatment .of
Federal soldiers when prisoners in the hinds of,
the rebels. The object sought to be .:aeconi
plished. by this movement in Congress, is the,
introduction and passage of, a' law ; providing
for retaliatory measure% and thus, if possible,
prevent a repetition of the ;gross outrages
on hunianity which have characterized the
Southern, leaders in the, conduct of the rebel
lion. While the traitors who tall into our
hands are.treated with manly leniency, and
while all prisoners of war are impartially
dealt by as men and soldiers by the Federal
authorities, it seems to us that the traitors
have taxed their ingenuity to devise new sys
tems of tortures for Federal soldiers, treating
them, when prisoners in their hands,, with the
iltmost severity and brutality.
.When ex
changed, our brave brothers are returned to
us . idiots and skelet one, toarouse'onr most
poignant grief and excite our indignation,. as
they linger for a few hoursafter their return to
Perish in agony. The loyal people of the
country have longdemanded that Congress
should devise meashies for the arrest of these
evils. Reason and appeals to the humanity
of the South have failed to put a stop to the
wrong, and now stein justice demands thatre
taliAtion be resorted to as a. dernier m eans
of protecting our troops.
--We notice that on the reading of the resolu
tion.s referred to, in , the Senate and House,
Mr. Johnson, of, Maryland, in the former,
and Mr.. Cox, of Ohio, in the latter body, of
fered objecticuis. It must be remembered
that these two_mbn are regarded as the agents
of the SOutheill..o o aecleracy, and. that there
f or e theirobjections will be accepted as valid
reasons- ' :for the vigorous prosecution of the
means pxciVided for in tlor-resolutions; for the
prom - ton of our . prisoners:., ,
The Secret Draft.
We alluded, some days since, to what is
regarded as a serious defect in the consciep
don law; namely, the public character of the
proceedings_ of thp draft. This publicity, to
many men, is a real temptation to desert, or
to fail to report,: which they regard,
mistakenly,. as being %.rio deser . tion. The
deficiency, to a, large degree ; attending all
the drafts made - for troops during the war,
may -be directly traced to this cause. Men
with no ties to hold -them to the community
in which they are enrolled, with no interests
to compel their presence in the distriCts in
which they are conscriptel, do not long hesi
tate when they discover they have been
drafted, to absCond. Good and . truei men are
thus made to run a double -chance of conscrip
tion. We notice that in Washington city, the
secret draft has been resorted to with great
success. The wheel is turned in a private
room in presence of the enrolling board. Those
drafted in the morning of a certain day are
not merely,notified of the fact, but they and
summoned to the office in the afternoon of
the same day, when they are at once sworn
into the service. After such a muster, the
conscript is ollbyded the necessary time to ap
ply for exemption or. furnish a substitute.
While he is thus engaged, he is a sworn sol
diei, whose failure to report will be regarded
as desertion and punished accordingly.
There is no good reason why the same sys
tem should not he introduced into all the
conscription boards of the country. Its prac
ticability and utility are apparent on its face.
It will prevent skulfers and cowards from
escaping their just duty; to the GoVernment,
and protect the tine and honorable men of
the country front being imposed upon. Pro
vost Marshal General Fry should at once
order a secret draft. But, even admitting
that the seeret draft would be more successful
in filling up the armies than -the present sys
tem of conscription, our own notion is that
le 'volunteering system, with proper encour-
agement, would in the end ,be
.the cheapest
and the most 'successful. With this convic
tion fairly established. we believe that the
first care Of . the present session of Congress
should be to arrange the details for a regular,
well-ordered and continuous system of re
cruiting; by which . the army shall kept
constantly replenished. Ordinary forecast
requires this, for, from various causes the
waste of an army is incessant; and if its re-,
enforcement, does ..not keep pace with this,
.important military, operations are brought to
a stand-still until the army can be sufficiently
recruited, and golden opportunities are thus
lost. And more than this,'even with employ
ment of liberal bounties and a number of
agents, the expense would not be near as great
to the people; as the enormous paymente to
avoid the draft, when each 149.1ity is a rival
to its-neighbor town, and trying to outbid it.
ENOCH .ARDEN.--Tennyson's thrilling poem
of Enoch Arden, is being daily illustrated
at least in incident if not with practice, by
the vicissitudes and fortunes of the war for
the suppression of .t,he plaveholders' rebel
lion. Here is thelast case we notice in our
emulu:.e. , .• A. man from Alton ennbtmi
the Union army in 1862, and was reported
killed at the battle of Antietam. His wife
brought home his supposed body and had it
interred. A year elapsed and she re-married,
and in due course a child was born, the fruit
of the second marriage. A few days ago the
first husband returned home alive and well,
having•bithitaken prisoner at Antietam in
stead tof killed. He was detained by the
rebels until the last exchange at. Savannah.
Of course all the parties are in a queer fix,
and "don't know what to .do about it.".
Tux Moamous T ' AX-PAIERS:r.-It • appears
that Utah, claiming 100,000 inhalAtituts, paid
into the United States Treasuty the paltry
sum of $6,3.4 while Nebraska, with only
35,000 inhabitants, and no mineral resources,
paid double that sum, her aggregate being
$12,338. Oregon,• with only 52,000 inhabi
tantsin 1860, and probably.7s,ooo now, paid.
in 1863 the handatme sum of $61;304 Ofin
ternal revenue. - After having heard so , tench
about the mineral wealth of Utah,. and the
wonderful industry and prosperity of its pgo
pie, we must infer from the above. that the
latter are not such good tax-payers as they
ought to be.
