Negroes in Uniform:

Col. Brodhead, of the First Michigan
Cavalry, seems to have imbibed the idea
that this is white mans war. So we
infer from an order which he issued the
other day, in the words following:
The commanding officer is surprised and
mortified to learn that negroes the servants of
officers, have dared to parade this camp in the
uniform of soldiers.
The honorable distinction which the soldier
uniform confers, and Of which every true soldier
is justly proud, cannot, and in this command
shall not, be so dishonOred and degraded.
The negro hereafter found wearing the uni.
form of the soldiers of this regiment will be
stripped at once, and, if within the encamp.
ment, summarily elected.
A good idea. There is growing popular
impression that the abolition attempt to
magnify and exalt negroes at the cost of the
peace and prosperity and happiness of thirty
odd millions of white people, has been
tolerated long enough. Col. Brodhead acts
upon this impression when be draws the lire
beyond which, within the province of his
command, negroes must not step.

st. Louis dispatches say that Major
General JOHN CHARLES FREMONT has taken
the field, leaving in command at st. Louis
Brigadier General CURTIS. We are glad
that FREMONT has gone out from behind the
wall he is building around st. Louis. IF
be captures PRICE and bis command the
country will doubtless think we'll of him. If
he. fails and PRICE captures him, the couns
try will doubtless console itself by the
reflection that it might have lost better
man. We are also glad that Gen. CURTIS
is left in command at ST. Louis. He is
FREMoNT's superior in every respect. He
is Republican and the Representative in
Congress now and since 1856 from the first
district of Iowa. Born in New York, he
entered West Point in 1927 and the army
four years afterwards as Second Lieutenant
in the 9TH Infantry. He subsequently re>
signed and became Chief Engineer of the
Muskingum Improvement, and from 1889
to l847 was Adjutant General of Ohio.
On the breaking out of the Mexican war
he raised and took command of the Second
Regiment of Ohio volunteers, and when
their term expired was attached to Gen.
WOoL's staff. When it became necessary
to appoint a civil and military Governor
for Saltillo in l847 he was selected for the
post and filled it admirably. After the
war he was engaged as Chief Engineer of
the Des Moines River Improvement. On
the adjournment of the late extra session
of Congress he rendered his services to the
government and was appointed Brigadier
General. His labors have since been in
the Western Department.

Col yyilIich's German Regiment.

From the indianapolis Journal OF Monday.
DEPARTURE OF 'I'R0oPs.-On Saturday
evening, about 6 o'clock, C0iouel WiIich's
German Regiment, handsomely uniformed
and equipped, marched down from their
camp TO the Madison depot, and embarked
for that place, where we presume they will
remain only so long as there may BE- APP
prehensi0ns of trouble in the portion OF
Kentucky adjoining. As few knew OF
their time Of departure there were rot so
many out to see them off as usually witness
the departure OF our Regiments, out those
who did see them saw the finest military
display that has yet been exhibited II this
city. The regiment was nearly full, over
900 in 1.-THE rest viii Join in Madison, We
were told-and as the long line marched up
Illinois and down Washington street, at
quick step, and with the regular swaying
motion of old soldiers, it could be seen at q
glance that they had been learning their
business to some purpose. There were no
struggling lines, no broken sections, but all
was solid, compact, and as accurate as dis
cipline could make them. Colonel King, OF
the Regular Army, remarked that if he had
not known who they were he would have
taken them for q regiment of regulars, and
ne added that such body OF men were
worth three undiscipined regiments for SER
vice. 1t is beyond all QUESTION the finest
regiment that has left our State, and We
doubt if any State has sent out a body OF VOL
unteers their equals in ali respects. A large
portion of them are old soldiers, and all are
picked men, held to the most rigid disci-
pline, drilled with unremitting attention, and
taught by one Of the most thorough trained
soldiers in the Union As they passed the
Bgtes House, the ladies on the balcony
waved their handkerchief, aud The men 10
response waved their hats, every company,
as they arrived opposite the balcony, lifting
their hats and waving them until they
passed. But there was no shouting, very
little talking, no fuss or parade. Col.
Which marched on foot, as did all the field
officers. On Delaware street, they were
halted in three divisions, to facilitate their
getting on the cars, and the divisions were
marched up, put aboard, and got Of more
rapidly and quietly than we ever saw it done
before. There was no disorder nor running
back and forth. Every man knew his place,
and when the order came, they moved, aud
not before. We predict that this regiment
will make its mark if it has halt a chance.
The arms are Enfield rifles for over 400, and
Springfield rifles ior the rest, most spIen-
did armament and II the best OF hands.

The Democratic Candid ate for Regis
ter of Deeds.

In remarks made at the time of the nomi-
nation of Mr.. LOUIS DEsMEULEs, we are
satisfied that we did him injustice. With-
out personal acquaintance with him, we
wrote of his qualifications upon the estimate
of other parties, and unjustly to his preju>
dice. We have since taken pains to INFORM
ourself as to his business and other quail
ties, and find that he is thoroughly compe.
tent to the position for which he is nomi-
mated. In the contest going on for local
offices, we have neither personal nor partisan
interests to advance and have only desire
to treat all candidates fairly according to
their merits. We are satisfied that Mr..
DEsMEULEs possesses all the qualifications
needed for the proper discharge of the duties
of Register; and being so satisfied, it is
especially incumbent on US to say so, by
reason of our former disparagement. Mr..
DEsMEULEs has had two years experience as
Clerk in the Registers Office, and has had,
besides, large experience as Conveyancer
and Real Estate Agent. We have no
question as to bis full capacity.

to maintain or restore it by force or by
persuasion, these are think perceived more
distinctly and felt more deeply, by those
who always entertained them ;--gaining
qany neHconyests to their side; and stamp,
Il with Reproduction opinions and platforms
now seen to be not only fatal to but regard
less of--the restoration, Or the blessings, Of
the Federal Union. There is to be no
peace to our country, and no country even,
until these opinions are supplanted by
wiser estimate of thu nature and objects Of
a civil league,--or State confederacy. Till
it is understood and conceded, that treaties
between States are neither church platform:
nor the bylaws OF moral reform assoca-
tions, nor the means by which opinion is to
be propagated or conformity enforced =.
+. The army is becoming to a great
extent school of subordinati0n, in which
the very backwardness of the pupils attests
the importance of the discipline, and the
good that is to come of it.
D. The great problem Of reconciling
and blending distinct nation&lities into a
harmonious mass, is receiving a solution
in the war. In the heroic bravery aud pa
triotic devotion of the Rosecrantses, the
Seigels, the Lyons, and the Muligans, and
their devoted regiments, the names of Irish
and French and German and native Ameri-
can blend and mingle for admiration, like the
dazzling colors in some grand display Of
curiousy contrived fireworks; and the heart
embraces all of them as countrymen.
G. The martial qualities and resources
of cur country have astonshed outside OBJ
servers, as they have proved themselves to
be ample Tor mutual destruction and exter-
minaton. God grant that the fact may sug-
gest TO both parties the wisdom OF geserviDg
them Tor foreign foes and thus recall aud
impress the maXim," United we Stand !"

Visit to James Buch anan.

All interest in the person of our late
resident seems to have been obiterated in
eminds of the people, and his crimes alone
membered. A New Jersey editor has
Visited him, and writes back to his paper, as
follows:

Capt. n. j. L. DANA, OF this city received
his commission from the Governor on the
I'd, as Colonel of the First Regiment of
Minnesota Volunteers, and left this city
the next morning to join his regiment on
the Potomac. Those who are acquainted
with the record of his military lite, will
acknowledge his eminent fitness for the
position assigned him by the Governor, but
for the benefit of those who have not that
knowledge, we shall briefly recapitulate its
principal events.

men. He entered the ilitary Academy at
West Point in l838-graduated in 1872

biographical Engineers, Infantry or Dra-
goons." Eecting the infantry, he joined
his regiment in Louisiana in September
1912, and served with it there for three
years prior to the Mexican War. 1t may
not be improper to state here, that, as we
are informed, he is intimately acquainted
with the Gulf Coast from the mouth of the
Sabine to Pensacola Harbor and from
Arkansas Bay to Vera Cruz.

with the second detachment sent to sup

signed, having served four years as Cadet,
five years as Lieutenant, and eight years
as Captain-in all seventeen years.
When the seventy>fve thousand volun-
teers for three months service were called
for by the President, he was rendered the
command of the First Regiment from this
State by the Governor, but at that time he
could not leave his important private bust
ness to enter the service for so brief PEI
riod, but subsequent events having shown
that the war was to be of longer contnu>
ance than at first anticipated, he made i'm
mediate arrangements for closing up his af-
fairs, which he accomplished at no iucon
siderable sacrifice, and rendered his military
services to the country
