flffifAs I before aid, wo aro in a state
of civil war, and an emergcuey is upon us
which requires the operations of soma
power that moves more quickly than the
civil.
Thero never was a war carried on suc
cessfully without the exercises of that
power, annuities on Vallandigham.
Tho as-crtion in the first paragraph is
untrue, at least it is so far as concerns lo
calities where couits are open and tho av
enues to justice unobilrueted ; whore tho
laws define crime and fix the punishment:
and whore any protenso of Constitutional
and civil rights is allowed. No man of
sense can claim that in yallaiidigham'i
case there was any necessity of a mid
night raid, which should 'quickly' prevent
tho consummation of any Act. He was ar
rested, not for what he was about to do,
but for a speech already made, and for
words spoken only, Uurnsides' fpecial
pleading in no Way touches the case. It
would seem that he reasons no better than
bo fights, when left to his own head.
As to the second paragraph it is abso
lutely untrue. Witness tho UevolutioEa-
ry war, the war of 1812, the Mexican
war all successful, without "the exeicise
of that power." Burnsides had better
read history a little while.

Col. Lkvi Ii. Tate,
Dear 6'iV : A communication from this
place canio under my observation to-day,
which was saiif to bo the Prorccdiims and
Resolutions of the 178th Rcgt. Pa, M.,at
a meeting held on the battle-field, on the
Cth of May, 1803. They were the reso
lutions passed by a portion of the 178th,
but the majority of the regiment would
conic far short from endorsing tho whole
proceedings of the meeting, especially the
hifct resolution.
Th? Ilcv. Hunt, our beloved and worthy
Chaplain, who is spoken so highly of has
not got the representation of the majority
of the regiment. Tho Iter. Hunt is an
old man that has at one time been some
thing of an orator, but he is now bigoted
in his opinion, and does not hesitate to
luijiusc uio i.iuiuai mnuu:ii upiulOIlS upon

We belong to no .Uuion-Leaguo or Gol

the abolition views of this .administration.
'I believe that three-fourths of our regi
ment arc Democrats, and I am crthin
that more than that numbor wish the much
beloved Father Hunt was at homo in his
parlor, or ''preaching to traitors ai; hoaie,"
as ho says ; at any rate we wish wc were
rid of him, and wu have no respect far
him except his age, wo make duo allow
ance for tiiat, But consider it au imposi
tion iu placing him here. Wc arc not
traitors, or wc would have deserted. We
have had abundant opportunities, for we
have bceu doing pickei duty in sight of
the enemy's line: The most of the reso
lutions passed at the meeting we could
endorse. But we do not despise the Peace
Party called Copperheads, any more than
wc do the agitators who endorse the Pro
clamalion that condemns and makes all
a of , UI . .

his loyalty and he can recover pay for his
negroes. Now, I cannot prove my loyally
to the satisfaction of tho present powers,

tionist would say, "there is one traitor
less "
The regiment was not all represented
at the meeting. There were but few pros
cr.i. This is a true statement and could
bo endorsed by at least tpo-thirds of tho
regiment This is from a soldier of tho

My Dear Su: Thero is not tho least
sign of a movement iu this army. Tho
thirteen days rations wc had on hand have
dwindled down to three, which is good
evidence of our intention to preserve a
"masterly inactivity." Many regimeu's
have gtuc home perhaps fifty in tho
nggregato and I mu nut aware ot any
troops arriving to take their place,
A vast improvement has taken place in
tho artillery branch of the service. A
reserve of 35 batteries has been formed
under command of (Jon. Tylor, and they
have been brigaded and divisioned tho
same as the infantry and cavalry. Sovacrl
butteries havo been left with each corps to
operate with them dircotly, while tho Bo

Tho capital of New York, which is usu

j ancient, city ol honest Dutch extraction and
sound Democratic faith, last night wont off
into a genuine "sensation" of the most
modern metropolitan fashion. The occa

Eiiiiply staling the tact liberate all the
latent heat of the popular sympathy and
g0od will. Some veterans of the Army of
the Potomac were tho first
to rccomuzo
th(ir old eotirnnndur, then calling upnn
the Governor at his office, aud they fairly
besieged the executive chambers with
shouts for "Little Mac." The General
was finally compelled to show himself at
the window, where he shook hands with
thu eager and cscited soldiers, who pres
sed up to him with cheers and loud bles
sings, and ghddcDod heir hearts with a
few of thoso simple and soldier like words
which no man is sura to Gnd or so frank
to speak as ho. From the Governor's
ofiico tho crowd, increasing as it went,
followed the General to the house of .Mr.
1 ('orn'"S. wll'oh also they carried by storm
that the object of this amicable onslaught
! was left to himself, '1 ho respite, however
was brief. The city authorities and tho
fire compauies combined for a decisive
and organized campaign, and deputations
waited upon the General, a few hours be
1 fore his intended departure with the assu
raueo that it would be iu vain for him to
attempt to leave Albany till he had seen
the people face to face, and civcu them '
, , ,,
room and verge enough to express all
that they lelt lor the soldier and the mail
whom "Loyal ICagUCrs" delight to honor
with their fanatical abuse. The General
was reluctantly compelled to surrender at!
discretion. Tho boat in which ho was tc
leave at B o ciock was detained by her J
ownr. who fimlly compromised by con-
' fonientin" to lot tho General eo at 10 P

one to niovo the coldest or most prejudiced

hcait. This extemporaneous homage, tho
work of two or three hours, was a tribute'
far more eloquent than weeks of elaborate
preparation could have made it to tho hold
which General McClollan has acquired,
upon tho affections and thi respect of his
fellow countrymen It was interesting to ,
see how little ofa political color the wholo
.lnmniitr.-,linn worn. Hero inn Micro
sporadic shouts wore heard lor '"the next

of the popular voice was hearty and con-
tiuous clamor for the "General of the

Genciul McClollan has scon as much of (
ins countrymen in a stat? ol enthusiasm as
most people, but I venture to say that this
.1 impromptu reception at Albany will lincer
in his memory as one of the most moving
I because one of the n:o.t genuine and spon
taneous incidents of his public career.
The petty malignity of many ''Commit
