We give below a brief poem on the brand- ing of soldier wi-.h a hot iron on the back, a custom which was generally adopted a few months ago by the surgeons in Lin coln's hire. The following order wsplains this strange practice: "PKOvoeT MsrshauUcnebal's urnci, ..n; 'rSi.JS - Enrollment , Springfield, lUmo.$. J 'Docroa: In aJ J it ion to my suggestion . to mark all rejected recruits and substitutes, " " j I would suggest thai all accepted recruits. and sobstituies be marked thus: I, in small of back. This will, I think, prevent, to a great extent, the practice ot bourn jumping. "Your Irietid, "J. H. Baxtir, U S V.. m "Chf. Med. Off. Pro. Mar. Gen. Bur." So it seems that this atrocious practice of branding in the back, wiih a hot iron, or with equally painful caustic, all rejected re cruits, had its inspiration in Washington. All who volunteer to enter the army, but who, on account of physical debility are re jected, are, according to this order, to be branded with the letter " 1" in the small of the back. We have little respect lor the man who does not instantly kill the scoun drel who attempts to commit such a i out rage upon bis person. Any man deserving to live would resign his office rather than execute such an infamous command. Aye, brand bim on the brawny back ! A nd brand him as you brand (he slave ! Bland, so the world may call him knave ! Brand, tor he bears a soldier's pack! Bring forth the iron, seething hot. And iliru-t it in the quivering flesh, .

Tbe soldier wants tovote for a man who goes in for the Union as it was and the L'onMituiion as" it is, and who is in lavor of free speech, free press, .and tbe habeas corpus, and who will bring tyrannical men to their jnt due. 1 The leaders of the Southern Conletleracy ! are only wailing for McCleilati's election, when they will ground arms, and come back into the Union at once. Ttie only difficulty now is for a rnaii a! the head ol our goveromeu that will give quarter with out taking lite.

The Rebels have been frequently heard to say, on pur picket line, thai they never would be ruled by Lincoln. , Doctor, if you want to bark at traitors so much, come where traitors live, and we will give you a chance lo show your pat-rioti-m. Don't be always landing behind a body guard of cowards like yourself, try ing to have all peaceable and Isw-abidiug citizens arrested similar to a way a notice in your paper of a late inue announced.

Tbe news of these late arrests is making tad many who would have went into balile with a firm heart' and steady hand to help crush out this wicked Rebel lion, but who now will falter to think men are so lawless at home as to arrest ai d take away iho-e whom we left behind to care for our aged mothers, and dear sisters and wives. Yoa deprive ihem ot the liberty of keeping the great wheel of Industry in mo" lion, 'which is the only thing our Govern ment has to support it in times likd the present.' We hope, Doctor, you will soon see your folly, support Constitutional Liber ty, and live up to the rules ot free speech, free press, and a free people, which you pretend to advocae. Then we wiil have less tyranny and mere vfciory. Truly, &c , a 6oldie. Death of Chief Justice Taney. From the Age, Oct. 14- Roger B Taney, Chief Jusi.ce of the United States, died at his residence in Washington, on the 12ih in'sl., in the 63d year of h-9 age, and thirtieth of the tenure of his high office. Well may the nation mourn at the bereavement. A great and good man has gone from us, and gone loo, when we most needed the influence of such men j.apd we repeal, in every State of the ancient Union in the council chambers, anJ camps of the North and South, there will be Pennine sorrow ami urnriT AvnM 6i0n of reipect for his memory. ; Twen.y-nine years ago Mr. Taney was elevated , to the Chief Jusrice-hip as the successor of John "Marshall, who bnd held the office for mow thrn thirty years. Chief Justice Taney has survived every member ,he 0i,h of office jo seven Presidents. His has been a long career of usefulness and I honor; and now, in this agony ot our Fed j era! system one feels, in recording his death that another link is brokeoand, as it were, one more rivet lorn out of the great ma chine of Government, and that, too, when il most needed the close cohesion which such influence gave. There was, so long as this great constitutional jurist lived, a con fidence, a sort of repose, a faith that there was still some anchorage, which sustained the most despondent. ' I; is all gone now. While the horrors of vio'eni deaths'are around us, and in the very crisis of the fiercest civil strife the modern world has ever seen, amid the clangor of arms and the hideouH shout of triumph, the quiet, peaceful death of this old man, close to the edge of ba'tle, is and will be felt to be most impressive. Y Chief Justice Taney died, as he lived, a brave, undaunted, truly "Loyal" man ; for fit was the Law he ' was faithful in Ami then, too, let every lover of his country re member with gratitude, in this moment of national sorrow, what may be described as Chief Juslice Taney's last prominent public aci-his assertion in the .ease of the Mary land kibetis corpus, of the right of the Judi ciary to give a hearing to a prisoner held by military authority. It wss a protest' - for tb d(jzrr of allowed i: to be nothing ele of tbe real Chief Magistrate of the Nation, against the worst, because the initiate violation of the CoiiMiiution. Let ns honor him for his wholecareer.'. Let us Especially honor him J for the closing act of it. Sincerely anxious to miii"le no word of onkindness with these words of .praise, it is still impossible for ns to be silent as to the future. Although the function of Federal Chief Justice, under existing circumstauces, and, with the nec essary decadence of judicial independence which war and its roitch'evous influences involve, will be far less important and dig nified iban it has bean, still as a mere mat ter of picturesque interest, we may be ex cused tor some,solicilude as to ibe succ&ss or of Jay, and Rulledge, and Ellsworth, and Marshal and Taney. Who will be ap pointed by Mr. Lincoln, is a question on the lips ot every thoughtlui man. Il is beyond the scope of our conjectures, ex cept in lhs, lhat be it who it may, pure ju dicial independence will hardly be required as a qualification. Tbe Administration has too many unadjudicated political questions to permit it to be independent itsell ; and we look forward to one more disui.l spec tacle in our. day cf ugly visions of the Federal Jndiciary tottering to the grave, which threatens to swallow up all thai once was dear to us. Shall the Xcgrocs be Armed? From The Richmond Enquirer, Oct. 18. The proposition to extend the Conscript l, ai fir.ii formallv advanced bv The finuoirer in the issue of the 6th int. Since that lime we have received many assu- rar.ee of its popular favor, and none what- ever of opposition to it. We learn that the pUnters of the extreme Southern States fa vor the proposition, and some have signi fied their readiness to free five, ten or fif teen ol their slaves if ihey will enter the army. The near approach of 'jhe time when the Congress meets again, requires that expression to be &iven to the senti ments ol the country upon Ibis important measure. We therefore earnestly invite it discussion, and open our columns to oppo nents as well as to friends of thepropo silion. i ., .. . , .- , . . The result of the late'elections is pi ill in doubt, and whether Lincoln or McClellan will be elected, il is yet impossible to de termine, bui there is. no uncertainty as to ibe qoestioo of carrying on the war. Whether LincoIncr McClellan be the nexi PresiJent, the voice, and the almost unani mous voice, of that people is for a vigorous prosecution of the war. The du'y of pre piriiig for lhat issue wtll be before the ap proaching session of the Confede ra'e Con greW; that bod v will have before it, for. coiisideratioii the, ways and means, as well of, men a- of money, lor carrying ou ihe war on our part. The war cry of the enemy, :po parley with rebellion in the field; no compromise with traitors in the readjustment," fully in form the people that, in plain vernacular, the whiles of these States are to be subju gated to slavery and their slaves to be re duced to the condition of Yankee free ne groe. This is the view of the people among ocr enemies, and this will be the result of the war, whether ended by Lincoln or Mc Clellan, if the people of lhee Sla es permit themselves to be conquered. The conKcription of negroes should be accompanied with freedom, and the privil ege of remaining in the States ; ttris is no part of Abolitionism, il is the exercise by the ma-ter of the. unquestionable riht of manumission; it is remunerating those who defend our caute with ihe-privilege of free dom. "Nor shouTd this important subject be prejudiced with questions about nutting negroes ou ao equality with our friends, brothers and fathers Many of the soldiers in their childhood were fondled and nursed by iai'hful negro nurses, and yet no ques tion of equality was ever raised. Mtny a man bas manumitted slaves without ever being subjected to the suspicion of being an Abolitionist. i - -) The issues involved in this war are too exalted in iheir importance and character for us lo permit them to be compromised by being degraded to a question of proper ty. The liberty and freedom of ourselves and of our children, the nationality of our country, the right of etjoying any kind of. property, the houses over our beads, and the very graves of our children ai.d friends, are involved in the struggle. Failure makes slaves ot all, while and black; robs all cf property, real and personal ; divides our land among our conquerors, who will plow up the very graves of our dead as fertilized ground lor making money. We have in our midst a hall million of fighting material which is property shall we us that pro perty for a common: cause 1 Justice and sound policy demand lhat we make free men of those who fight for freedom. We conscript ibe master, and we impress his Jorses, cattle, wheat, and every other pro perty except slaves. This very exception is an imputation (bat this war is for slavery and not lor freedom: ;By conscripting the negroes we show to the world the earnest ness tha is in our people ; we prove to our enemies that af'the moment of our sup posed exhaustion, in the fifth year of the war, we shall meet them with, larger armies than we have before raised ; and we-explode the false accusation that we are fight ing (or slavery, or a slaveholder's Confed eracy, : - ' ' r .'--There are those wbo doubt whether sound DOlicv would trnsl-nerrrftt with arms.

And, when once it is understood thai freedom and a home in the South are tbe privileges offer ed by the Confederate authorities, while the enemy extend ihe beggarly hospitalities of Yankee philanthropy, not only will de sertion from our ranks be unfrequent, but the drafted negroes of the Yankee armies will exchange services. This subject addresses itself to the con sideration of our people, at this particular time, with great force. The prospect of four more years of war before our people; the enemy will not even "parley" with ns without nnconditional surrender, the fruits of which would be confiscation of all pro perty, ihe deportation of whole com muni ties, the degradation of the people, and the domination and tyranny of Yankee masters. There can be r.o construcion which doe not embrace a surrender first, which will nol permit confiscation aherward, winch does not ensure enslaving the white, with out freeing the blacks. If there are any weak-kneed people who imajine tdey can save their properly by reconstruction, let Ihem study the shibboleth of all parties in the United States -"nn parley with rebel lion in the field; no compromise with sla very in ihe adjustment." Unconditional surrender is first demand ed, before even a parley. We are to lay down our arms and submit to the kindness of ihe Butlers, Grants. Shermans, and Sher idans; to the late of New Orleans, tte con dition of the Valley, the misery, of Atlanta, and, after all lhat degradation; to give up a'l our slaves in the adjustment, if there are any reasons against extending the conscrip tion to slaves, we should like to have them staed, but we are decidedly of opinion . 1 .l .... u - l :ll - . .1. that the. whole country will aree to the proposition, and lhat at nn early day the next Congress will be called upon to pro vide for ii by law. The Louisville Journal, a uaDer which .. has, unaccountably, eupported Lincoln's Administration up to a recent dae, na9 been lrihlened from that support by the brutality ot Federal rule in Kentucky.

The whole ol Gen. Paine's official career in trie District of Wes'ern Kentucky, was marked by the coarsest bru tality, calculated to exasperate the people and send recruits to the Rebel army. He would order ci'tzens' to hi headquarers, and, Without provocation. would abuse ihem, applying tbe most offensive terms to ihem, sucn as d d Rebels, d d scoundrefs. &c. "The people, of Paducah were driven from their homes without any just cause, and their houes turned over to nesrro fam ilies lor occupation. General Prince, com manding at Smithfield, sta es that lorty-two of the citizens of P.ifucah passed down the river on boats, under orders of banishment, beyond Ihe Federal lines, by order of G-n.
