a most important order will soon be issued from
headquarters, informing the Governors Of the
several free States, that no more regiments, bat.
teries, or independent companies must be raised,
or received ny them, except upon requisition of
the War Department, The regiments now
forming will re completed. unless 1t shall be
deemed more advantageous to the service. to AZ
sign men already raised to incomplete organlza-
tions actually in the field. General superinten-
dents of the yoluntce recruiting service will be
appointed in all the States, and recruiting in
each State will be directed upon the system
pursued in the regular army.

Honor to Whom Honor is Due"

Mr.. EDITOR Exact Justice demands that
certain reliable facts should be known. Some
weeks since Quartermaster Gen. George f. Da-
Wis, officially applied to the War Department at
Washington, for tents and clothing for the End
and 3rd regiments of Vermont volunteers, and
was assured, as he reported, that they would be
furnished at once, excepting the coats and pants,
which would be furnished in two weeks. Gov
ernment, however, repeatedly refused or neg
lected to furnish them even upon "proper re-
QUESTIONS - but subsequently did, furnish cloth
ing for those regiments, with the exception of
wool shirts and drawers and this is the way it
occurred Maj. Gen. VIM. +. Smith, command
ing the division of which the Vermont volun-
teers are components, being confined to his
quarters by illness, Maj. Gen. Mcclellan made
him complimentary VISIT inquiring for his
health. 1t being we'll known to Gen. Smith at
the time, that the Department had not yet fur
nished, and did not intend to furnish the re-
quired articles, he made direct and personal
appeal to Gen. Mcclellan for them, and finally
| AiiuoSSo ~ was oOluCWH dG lIIcS-
ular and out of the usual routine to do so-to
make an order for the immediate issuing of the
clothing; and they were issued. The tents,
however, were not included in the order, as
Government would furnish none but SO" tents,
AS they are called "a very undesirable articl
which would not meet the requirements of the
men.
1t should not be understood that l mean to
intimate that Gen. Davis reported differently
from what he believed, or was assured, for he
undoubtedly made an application and got such
a response. But it sometimes happens, I pre-
sumo, that under the hurry and press of bust
ness in the Departments, applicants are can
swered negligently, know not what, he should
or he should not, &c." as Shakespeare says
and that the of-hand statement or promise of
an official in these days is not always I" fact
accomplished" and should not be too implicitly
relied upon. That the recent issuing of cloth
ing by Government to the 2nd and Ord Vermont
regiments is due solely to the personal influence
and solicitations of Gen. Smith, is true, and
cannot be successfully controverted, is beyond a
doubt. JUSTICE

The Irrepressible Conflict.

MIR. Seward never said truer word than
Wien he declared that there was an irrepressi-
BILE conflict between Slavery and Freedom on
this Continent. The two different forms Of la
bor cannot exist, with equal right, in peace I'M
der the same Government. While Slavery had
its own way, and domineered over free labor
and controlled the Government, it was quiet
and apparently peacefully disposed. But as
soon as free labor, through the ballot box, as
serted its right to be heard and respected in
up arms in resistance. Notwithstanding this,
however, the Government has apparently made
continual efforts since the war commenced to
| separate Slavery from the rebellion and to give
the institution a special immunity from the
evils which treason was bringing upon the dis
loyal States. That this course has not been at
all in harmony with the feelings, wishes and
opinions of the great majority Of loyal men has
been very apparent But there has been no
way Of remedying the evil, and so it has been
borne with such patience as the public has been
able to exhibit, in the confident expectation
that Congress would seize upon the earliest mo-
ment to give expression to the general conviction
that Slavery had been thus far much too ten
derby landed. And this faith in Congress, as
appears by it's first days proceedings,is not des-
tined to disappointment. The question, What
STALL be done with Slavery in this war? appears
at the very outset. The resolutions introduced
by Mr.. Elliott, Mr.. Campbell and Mr.. Stevens,
are significant Of the course which Congress will
pursue on this question. And we hope action
will not be long delayed, as it is important that
the Government should have some policy upon
the subject, and not continue, as it has hitherto
acted, to act upon the varying fancies Or Ca
prices Of Major and Brigadier Generals.
