looked rather serious to think how nicely
they had lxcn sohl, but being once tlie re
they ileterniined to sec the show out ;
1 from all that could be learned, it promised
! to be a comic atlair. . The resolutions in
due time were read. Several field officers
spoke in favor of them, they could not do
otlierwise, as they were the autliors ; they
discussed their merits and seemed quite
proud of so able a production, and one
that wn destined to spread terror among
the charging columns of the opposing
jiarty in the army as well as at home.
They luul it all their own way for some
time. Finally a motion was made to
strike out the 1th resolution and insert a
more conservative one in its stead. This,
however, wa soon voted down, which
greatly elated the unterrified ; they took
J fresh courage, the meeting was a success,
the Iowa brigade were all right on the
nigger, and they thought could push down
almost anything, no matter how' woolly.
TJiev then introduced another resolution,
one which did not appear with the orig
inal, but which I. have no doubt was
written at the same time, and by the
same parties, but which they were afraid
to introduce until they had an expression
of those present. The resolution referred
to urged tlie War lKiiartment in strong
terms to arm and equip all the negroes
able to bear arms, and have them sent into
the field immediately, and march side by,
side with their deliverers, carrying death
ami destruction into the enemies' country,
slaving those who dared to oppose by act
or in sentiment. Tlie resolution was
warmly debated by several ; one said it ex
pressed his feelings and sentiments, and he
honed he would soon see it carried into
' k fe,r '
'pints.'

Not because they were traitors; far from
j it, for there is not a regiment in this bri-
gage- that has been in as many engage
i ments, done luirder lighting, marched
i further, lost more hien in action, and not
one in this eons that sustains a higher
reputation to-day than the IGlh leva;

lut, sir, the reason tlicy rejudiatcd them
was tins : I Iiev are oiosiil to making
this war a crusade against slavery ; con
serjueiitly they could not swallow tlie
emancipation resolutions ; ami one otlicr
reason tliere was tliej- know they are not
employed to help to sustain a party whicl
is rapidly gonig to decay . Ami I must
say, in justice to Col. Chambers, of the
ICtli that he would not participate in the
discussions at the meeting, or have any
thing to do with it whatever.
Tlie 16th now goes by the mime of the
Copperhead IJegiment. Hut, sir, they
can endure tlie persecution, knowing their
deliverance is near at hand. Correspon
dents and others may write anil say there
is a good feeling existing in the army, but
they are mistaken, , and only write this
because they are paid for it. You go
among the men and you will find them in
groups, talking over our prospects of sub
duing the South ; you will find them
hopeless. They denounce the administra
tion ; the proclamation is repudiated by
them, a great many of whom were for
merly warm supporters of the party in
power ; and, sir, instead of this bitter
feeling against the administration dimin
ishing in Ihe army," it is increasing.
There is no use disguising the f:ict, the
soldiers are becoming disgusted with this
war as now conducted. Their . spirits
have been kept up from time to time by
promising that the war would end in
sixty or ninety days. This ruse lias
played out. They arc now determined to
be heard, and to have their lights rind

Au Oasle In the Desert.
The Katon'(Ohio) llegister, ' a ' republi
can paper, has the following just and
sensible remarks upon the recent mob
proceedings at Itichmond, Indiana, and
Columbus, Ohio:
Tlie office of the Jeffersonian at Ifich
mond was cleaned out by some two
hundred paroled soldiers, who were de
tained by a misumlerstanding with the
railroad company, and obliged to wait
over on tlieir way home, r lndui? a
copy of the .IctTersoniiui, containing senti
ments whicli were distasteful to litem,
they proceeded immediately to take the
law in their hands, by destroying the
office. In connection with tlie mobbing
of Medary's Crisis and following so liard
upon that outrage, it compels a question.
and involves a rinciple demanding our
serious attention. Wliat the pecuniary
damage niay have been is a small matter.
The moral degeneration implied in an
attack of tliat kind is a cause of alarm.
What may have been the o flense of Meda-
ry or the Jetfcrsouian is not to the point.
Americans have long enjoyed the eigh
teenth century to very little purpose, if tlie
light and progress luive not taught them
that at any time, under any circumstan
ces, with whatever provocation, or for
whatever crime, mob law is an insane
resort. It is never right. . "
It is untntiiilif. Two hundred excited
soldiers to attack an unarmed :uid unpro
tectiil man.
It is dmhoitt. The wanton uVstruc-
tion of liard-carmil property is in it.
It is Hi'jrrfit. o I Iydra -headed, lrre
ponsiblc mob, half crazy with rum, is a
proper judge in any matter.
It is f'uhft'. If anv man imagines that
proceedings of such a kind foster loyal
sentiment, or, in any wise as.-ist tlu; gov
ernment we ln-g 1 ii in to dismiss the idea.
