Forney's Comment.
Forney's comment on the Report of the Com
mittee on the Conduct of the War is unique.
It concludes thus:
"The report ought to be read by every clue,
and cannot fail to command the attention which
RS fairness, its unanswerable facts, and the well
known abzlity and INTEGRITY of its authors de
serve that it should receive."
As an old friend of ours would exclaim, with.
both hands raised above his head, "Gracious
Heaven !" " The ' , fatness" of the report-:-
mark' that ! Its "unanswerable facts"—pticlt a
pin there ! " The well krown ability and IN
TEGRITY" of Hen. Wade, Zachviah Chandler,
and John Covode—ture down the leaf and
pause for breath ! What man save Forney,
the mendacious wretch wbo charges Democrats
with "living upon thepubliecalamities"—who
but the miserable parasite that clings to the
administration for bread and writes for the
privilege of plunder, could havo written a
_sentence so replete with falsehood and unmer
ited encomium? There are many base men in
the world-many " base and ' unscrupulous
wretches, many corthorants and birds of vile
propensities in. the adminstration ranks—but
Forney is the dirtiest, buzzard, thy most die
: ado bi ed of them all.

The 176th Regiment
(In the Telegraph of April let, is published
wbat purports to be resolutions adopted by the
176th regiment Pennsylvania draftsd
a men.
These resolution, whatever may have been
the intention of ,those who prepared at adop t . ,
ted them, are publiabed for[the purpo Of iv*
peaebing the patriotism and fidelity to pfincti•
pie and duty of the Democracy of the North.
,This being the case it is well enough to scruti
nise the political anticedents of the officers
who, we presume, , lvere • about the only mem
bers of the regiment interested in getting them
up. Taking Col. Lechler's word for it that the
"regiment is 4eaidlidly Demoeratio," we may
bepermitted to doobt whether the men. were
.particulirly consulted, on the subject, or• had
any idea of the use that was to be made of the
reriolations, Oven if they were carelessly read
to them. , We don't believe that any Democrat,
whether in the dress of , a private citizen or a
prirate soldier, woulddeliberately indorse the
4 ` Indemnity Act " or the suspension, in Stites
Where the adtainistration of justice was unob
structed, of the privilege of the, writ of habeas
corpus. This, whatever Col. Lechler and the
resolutions may say to the contrary, we don't
believe.
The Colonel tells us that there are but
"seven Republicans out of the thlrty-six. offi
cers whose names are attached to the p,roceed
ings," and in the preamble to the resolutions
it is stated that the reginient is composed of
"citizens of Lehigh and Monroe counties." The
Colonel does not, inform us what his own poli
tical sentiments are, but we 'strongly suspect
he is a very black Republican, or a very fishy :
Democrat: We have, hoVever, some reliable .
information in regard to several of the " offi
cers whose names are attached to the troceed
ings,"'and on the bit furnished us, Which is of
Monroe county men exclusively, we rind one
Abolitionist, One Wide-Awake, five Republi 7 .
- cans, one Democrat; one Of uncertain politics,'
and one unreliable Democrat—that is; a fishy,
fellow, of whom you,can .never say preeisely
where he, is to be found. We suspect, there
fore, that Col. Lechler was mistaken in saying
that only seven lof the thirty-siX offieers Who
signed the resolution's were Republicans, for
it would be remarkable if not a single Repub
lican,., or, 'which is r worse, a fishy Deinoeriat,
could not be found among the twenty-sii of
cars Of whoa we have no account. We'look
upon political proceedings from camp, fur
nished by -commissioned 'officers, as very much.

MANUFACTURING POLITICAL CAPI
TAL IN THE A RMY.'
MESSRS. EDITORS :—For some time past the
Abolition papers have been publishing resolu-'
tions denouncing northern Democrats and stig r
matizing every one who does not sing mans
of praise to his Imperial Highness the Aboli
tion President, and endorse all'his ultra mea
sures without hesitation .or mental, reserve
tion--which resolutions purport being passed
with great unanimity by certain Pennsylvania
regiments. The folloling extract from a sol
dier's letter, published in , the Hollidaysburg
Stendard, will give your readers some insight
into the manner" in which this kind of- public
sentiment is manufactured. He says!
, 4 A piece of political trickery of this ; kind
was practiced on our regiment ,a few days ago.
Some of the Republican editors at,home wrote
to some of their political friends in the regi
ment asking them to get up a set of resolutions
,denouncing the Copperheads" -of the North';
denouncing peace propositions; branding
with infamy the .Democratic State Senators
whq refused to give the legislative ball to Jehn
son and Wright; extolling the ,Governor of
,Pennsylvania, and endorsing the measures of
the -President's emancipation and conscription
acts. The resolutions were. dratted; and en
dortied in the following manner: The regiMent
was convened before the Colonel's marquee.
The meeting was organized by calling a ram
pant Abolitionist to the chair. The Colonel,
by request of the chairman, stated to the regi
ment the object of the meeting, after which
the resolutions,were read. Immediately after
the reading some one proposed that the reso
lotions be endorsed by the regiment : just as
.they stood. A vote was then taken, and I
Suppose every Republican in the, regiment voted
fox them. There was no negative vote offered,
consequently we who could not conscientiously.
endorse the resolutions, as they stood, were
compelled to lookers on in Venice.' I
suppose the resolutions will be forwarded to
the different Republican county papers for
publication as unanimously endorsed by our
regiment. Bat the truth is, if a,negative vote
had been taken,we would have sent up as loud
a nay,as the endorsers did a yea." ,
Resolutions of this kind have lately been
published as emanating from the 84th regi
ment. These - who know that the original field,
staff and line officers, with one : or• two excep
tions, were uncompromising Democrats, to say
nothing of the fact that four-ftfihs of the pi-
Tates belonged to the same political family,
would naturally be surprised; but the fact
must be remembered that at this-time there is
not a single one of the original field officers in
,the regiment,' and only two line officers—lieu
tenants. Some were slain in battle, •others
wounded,. and many compelled to resigh from
ill-health. The resolutions purporting to' be
passed by the regiment are the production of
the new officers, ivho are lookipg forward to
promotion, and do not empress the sentiments
of the brave Democrats of the 84th. This we.
have direct from one who has partiolpated in
all the battles in which that excellmitregiment
has been engaged. BLAIR tOURTY.

between the pickets on shore. The rebels were
greatly strengthening their works. They have.
received and Mounted more heavy guns, and
are well supplied with ! ammunition., It is the
opinion of well informed officers that our gun
boats will not succeed in taking the fort. The
country along the Tallahatchie is, occupied' by
two regiments of rebel cavalry and swarms
with guerillas. The first reconnoissance of
Haine's Bluff by gunboats was made by Admi

The Evening Poet learie th it on :the 4th in
stant Gen. Foster was at%Little Washington,
N. p., with a bkigade. regitnent ofNorth
Carolina and some other troopi were virtually ,
surrounded by the rebels; ivho have 'ereCted
batteries on Tar River, between Newbein and
`Little Washingtqn, which thei naval force of
wooden' gunboats are unable to pass.
It„ is understood that a battle has taken
place betweeu Gen. Fester and the rebels, but •
nothing definite is . known of the fight, which
was evidently conducted by the rebels from
their batteries. Gen. Foster's•means of defense
are deemed ample, he having a fort and len.
trencbmente, with sufficient ammunition and
provisions.., '
Large reinforcements are in• transports below
the batteries, unable to reach General Foster
for want of some naval force competent to take
them. It is reported that GenerV. Foster sent
to Fortress Monroe some time since for naval
reinforcements. It was expected that troops
would be sent to him from Suffolk.
A Washington dispatch says that letters
have been received from officers attached to the
