COL. AsBoTH.
When writing the paragraph touching Col.
AsbOtbs departure from Warrington which
called forth bis card in to-days TRIBUNE, we
were not unaware that be had received from the
| Governor of Indiana an appointment as Brlga-
ier-Genera and that he was attached to Gen.
| Flpmobt's staff. But We did not feel at liberty
| 10 mention the fact at that time. We spoke 0f
his disappointment so far as bis Efforts 10 OBTAIN
commission from The General Government were
| concerned.
WHAT TIE FLAG OF TRUCE BROUGHT.
Tie N. J.. Day Book and The Riehmond En-
amirer are the frrt Journals which inform tie
public as TO the real purport of the dispatches
which the Rebel Lieut.-Co Taylor delivered
under a flag Of truce. We understand, nDd we
see no reason for coDcealDg it any longer, that (a'
these sheets intimSts) tie flag covered long
argument ON the subject Of privateerlng and
threat Of retaliation in case tho pirates OF the
Savannah or Of any other vessel were hung.
| Toward the end of the document there was some
sllu,on TO proposed exchange Of prisoners, but
lis burden was piracy.
For what rea,on dispatch Of this character
| has been so ,edulOUsy kept frnm the country Is
incx plcabe to US; but this is lot the only secret
which gets to tho enemy long before il reaches
tho ears Of loyal citizens.

fellow -conspirators in the Senate. "Dreds. not
