SPEcULArNo IN soLDrERs' PA9. 1.New meth.
DDS of speculating on the necessities of voiun-
teers, are daily invented BY sharp middlemen.
One Of these has just come TO light II seems
that while the pay-rolls of the 36sh Regiment
N. Y.V.were in course Of preparation and
were delayed by one cause and another, q man
offered TO pay the regiment their dues In ad.
vance, deduoting is per cent. commission The
men. who were hard DIP, and many Of whom had
families almost at the point ofstarvation, hAyt
ing received nothing from the Union rDefenae
Committee, jumped at the chance Of getting
ready money at any sacrifice. The Colonel
considered 10 per cent an exorbitant rate, and
finally persuaded the noneylender to come
down to 10, on which terms the poor fellows
were accommodated. The officers, greatly to
their credit, have agreed to repay per cents of
the deduction out Of their own pockets, and the
Colonel, with unexampled generosity, has prom.
ised to pay the remaining per cent. as his por,i
tion, so that the soldiers will lose nothing by
the operation. 80 f-lg Ju.5aegOs gArF
There Is said to be good deal of this, shay
ing at Washington, and 20 TO so per cent. are
mentioned as not uncommon charges, Why,
will not some association of respectable capital,

Of war in Virginia by no less than four captains,
two lieutenants and four privates--ten in ALA
greater number, we believe, than went from all
the other newspaper establishments in the city.
Not one of them voted for Lincoln, OF has, any
sympathy with. the political principles of the
Administration. All, we believe, we're for a.
Compromise Of our troubles. Wemention this
fact to show that, while we are stigmatized by
lying partisans as having sympathy With .seces-
sionists, about one fourth OK our establishment Is
now absent fighting forthe Stars and Stripes In
Virginia. While We have no respect Tor pUiiti.
clans who, by opposing compromise, brought
about this war, we have every regard for the
brave soldiers who, having no agency in It, flew
to the standard Of their, country to protect Il
from disgrace and humiliation, and to save the
capital Of the nation from capture, For their
success and prosperity We feel q, deep interest,
and trust that tley will al, return ere long to
their happy homes, covered with, ,honor and
loaded with the praise Of grateful country. 6 II
