THE SOLDIER'S BRAXD.
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, .
Be cure the mark be plain and fresh,
His blouse shall hide tbe accursed spot!
Go, torge and heat your lettered steel,
Apply it io the chosen par.;
You scar m-re deep, npon his heart,
Tbe hate which men for tyrants teel !
Now. is your day, and now's your hour,
The day of carnage, torture, sin -But
therw's a something Mill , within
Which scorns and mocks jour waning
power. ' ' ' ' '

EDirra or Thc Star Lear Sir: Having a

service lor the period of one year.
We are now encamped about five miles
from the James R:ver, in O d Virginia, and
on the line between Richmond and Peters

' half a mile apart in ' places. This t rings
the two picket lines so close together that
they frequently change paper, e c.
'We have , pretty comfortable quarters
here at p'eseni, but how long we wiil be
permitted to enjoy them is a matter un
known to us. ,
As regards political matters in. tbe com-
pany, a large majority are Democrats.
a large majority are uemocrats. I

Noi only onr company but a great many
of the companies in the regiment will give

! 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

well those two things peace on honorable
terms, or, struggle on through four more
years ot ofieriu up their noble sous on the
altar of Aboliuoniom. 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

You mast lake a different route to scare up

matters.. 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.

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. We
on that su nJ di9cip,;ne makea
j valuable solo.of Ru8Sail perf8, and no
! negroes in these j., &re BO jgnorarit ami
brutal as those serf. -. rar,;ca vi.h
the Lonteueracy and the i
. between
living among us, with all their --ong oca
attachments, and going among "werB
who are now openly buying and seii.
them to recruiting officers, our slaves will
find no difficulty in choosing. . 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.

official career in trie District of Wes'ern
Kentucky, was marked by the coarsest bru

and send recruits to the Rebel army. He
