Reserves, by tlie claim on tlic part of the authorities at Wash ington to their service ft r two or thite months after the expiration i f their term < ! enlistment and service—three years. It will be recollected that this noble body of men was litst organized under the State authorities; and after two or tiiree months initiatory service and preparation, were turn ed over to the United States. From which time they have been in active unremitting service—-shared in almost every battle, and everywhere have exhibited such bravery, fortitude and perseverance, thai they have not only acquired the proud distinction of being the " bravest of the brave," but have had their ranks decimated over and over again.

ABOLITION PROGRESS, — Within A few days J ast the Senate of ihc United States ha I passed a bill allowing aJ! ncgr es to vote who have resided in the city of Washington one ! ytar.

These recent acts of the United 1 States ought to help to open the eyes of the i people.

Greeley Turning * Coperhead." A few days ago Greeley made a speech in Brooklyn, in which he uttered the following sentiment, as reported in the Tribune : He bad great sympatiy for a large clas> of people known a® " poor whites" at the South. lie believed this great class of people the war was calculated tocliiiate. Mr. Greeley illustrated this point fully, and continued by saying that a country like the South could only be conquered through the good will of a pirt of her people, and there was a class of people entirely on our side. Mark it 1 " A country like the South can only be c-mqnered thr .ugh t?ie pood will of j a part of her people." This is what tire cmi : servalive portion of the people have sa d from the beginning. After a bloody' and cxhantting war of three years, this moat ' obvious truth just dawns upon Greeley's) mind. If the sentiment is correct, then it was j the part of wisdom and true statesmanship ! to conciliate the "good will of a part," oft ' '.ho Southern people, and a party not utterly bereft of reason and really desirous of rest or- t ing the Union, would have adopted some measures adapted to that end. But ho.v j unlike this is the policy actual's* used ? At the beginning of the war, - the friends of the ! Union in the South were numbered by tbons ands. instead of binding l! e?e friends to uc by judicious treatment, every step taken by ; the administration has tended to estrange ! and irritate them, and to consolidate public i opinion in the Seceded States against the old Union, and in favor of Southern inde pendence If the country is to b2 caved, must we not 1 speedily have a change o( policy ? When shall " This Cruel War he Ovor.'' . This is a question often asked with an in ( terest that betokens an earnest desire for peace. lint who can answer it ? " Jim Lane," the Senator from Kansas, declares i " that he liked the way this war was being j carried on now ; so far as lie was concerned, ; he was willing to make this war a perma nent institution." It is added that this sen timent was received by his audience with cheprs. With this Senator agree the hungry horde of army contractors : the myriads of office holders who ewa'm in every village and hamlet, fattening at the public crib; lite politician who uses the war to further his own selfish aspirations; and the band of fa natics who are ready to sacrifice all the in terests most dear to society, in the pursuit of their own impracticable schemes. All these cta-ses advocate a war of subjugation and extermination, and violently shut the door against the returu of the rebellious States. It is safe to say that the war will not end so long as such men can control our National 0 .uncilß E,P. &Il£r Wholesale Miscegenation—the freed black have been called " the children of the Government."— Constitutional Union.
