1hey are not setVlceable TO infantry. When
in sufficiently close quarters for their use, the
bayonet Is much preferable, and all extra
weight is to be avoided In long marches it
makes great difference to the efficiency Of
the men, and the result often is TINT the small
AIMS arc thrown away. They arc also danger
ous weapons to be constantly In the hands Of
the men. The experience Of all the regiments
N Washington who have been thus armed, is,
believe, unanimous against 1t. It Is great
exEerse to no purpose.
sIl saw our a. friend End Col Col; 1h Burnside at Camp
Mcn. An officer Of the reg gimcnt told me
there vas not q man in it who would not
cheedu1ly lay down his life for him. He Is
tndcfasigable In his efforts to secure the com.
fort and welfare Of the men, and his inter
course with them is of TIC most friendly and
On my way from Washington met gen.
tleman Of great intelligence and high position,
who was formerly very able member OF Con-
grces. He had been to Washington, and
sought an interview with the President al
portsnee ot the organization Of large force, m
He wanted every regiment which offered to be
accepted, even If tho whole should amount to
half a million Of man- He wanted the Gov
er1mcnt to put forth its greatest capacity, aud
to show the world that America was NIGH
T. power. He wanted the South to learn the
hc valuable; There was one suggestion
thrown cut by him which meets my hearty
concurrence. He Thought that a terrible pun
1stment ehou1d be visited upon somebody for
this treason, and that the proper place to visit
It Eas South Carolina. She Uas the pestlent
nest in which the brood Of rattlesuakes had
been hatched- She was the author and mover
n th1s stupendons = scheme OF Wickedness. Let
the retr5butlon 1a!l upon her guilty head. The
State lad been for quarter Of q century q
place for treason and traitors. She has been
taze to the Union, and been Riotting It's de-
who hate republican institutions. There,
where this foul W1ckedness Faa conceived and
brought 1o1th, let the hand OF swift, sure md
terrible Ietnputlon fal heaviest Let Charles
ton he blotted out; let the ground be ploved
oyer ne place where the talse and traitorous
cry once stooa. Let the Whole st1te oe de,
Fastated and punishment so terTible visited
upon It that It shall stand through al history
rs warning to traitors.
Some such punishment Is required to sa!is-
y the sense ofjustice and right ofthe AmeH-
can people. &c Pc SON sonth Calolna has tew friends

Banks is urging tho policy Of organizing d

t1ue policy Of the Government that every one
who has any influence or voice at Washington
should use it at once to give fnrtherance tc
these views. There II, as knoH, opposition
