DESERVED COMPLIMENT TO A GALLANT
OFFICER.-"Occasional the well known
Washington correspondent of FoRNEY s Phil
idelphia Press, in speaking of military af-
fairs in the West, says:
General Scott with a full knowledge of
the necessities of this portion of his mill
tary empire, intrusted it TO the experienced
care of that young but gallant and we'll
trained soldier, a native of Philadel phia,
General George Mcclellan, appointed Ma
jOr-General of the forces of Ohio by Gov
ernor Dennison. At the head of the great
military District composed of Pennsylvania
and the whole valley of the Mississippi, he
will be able to fulfill not only the expecta-
lions of his friends, but the demands ofthose
who look to him for counsel and support.
He knows the capacities and the resources
of the Western people. For some years the
executive head of the great Illinois Central
Railroad, which extends from Dunleith,
Iowa, and Chicago, Illinois, to Cairo, and
more latteTly President ofthe Ohio a2d Miss
issippi Railroad, he adds to the knowledge
he acquired in battle and his foreign
travels and his extensive reading a perfect
acquaintance of the topography of the West
| and Southwest"
No military appointment could have been
made more popular than that of General
| Mcclellan, and we are confident that, if oc-
casion offers, he will win the greatest lau-
! rels of the service.

A New FEATURE.-Fugitive slaves are
constantly arriving at Fortress Monroe,
asking to be taken in and given something
to do. Gen. Butler, it seems, received some
of them and set them to work on the forti-
fications. Upon one occasion three fugtives
were brought IN, when the following oc-
Cured:
Maj Carey, with flag Of truce, demand
ed their rendition under the Fugitive Slave
Law Gen. Butler informed him that,
under the circumstances, he considered them
contraband of war, and had set them to
work inside of the fortress. Col. Mallory,
the owner, was politely informed that as
soon as he took the oath of allegiance to the
United States, his property would be re-
turned to him.
If the fugitive slaves are regarded as con-
traband of war-and certainly the enemy
would have hard work to make any forti-
fcations without them-will the Govern
ment con6scate them? If confscated to
the use of the Government, are they any
longer slaves Another question natural
~ arises If they are considered by the
Government as contraband of war, is not
that a recognition of them solely as proper
ty? An individual could hardly be called
contraband of war under any circumstances
Maj. Gen Butler will please be careful, and
not get the Government into false position
with his contrabaEd articles.

CAMP WALLACE, May %.

CAMP WALLACE, May %.
We ace in a quandary at the camp not
knowing whether to be provoked or pleased.
We are highly delighted with our new
tents and have had fine opportunity to-
day of approaching our rubber blankets,
with which the regiment has been supplied,
but we are not only indignant, but feel in
suited at our treatment in regard to guns.
Colonel Wallace sent a commissioner to
Washington and paid his expenses to see
that this regiment was supplied with the
best of arms, who was successful in getting
al order for Mimic rifles. The order was
filled by the government and the rifles ar
rived few days since at indianapolis di-
| rected to this commissioner expressly for
our regiment. Instead of being sent here
| they justly belonged they were opened at In
| dianapolis by those having no authority,
and two other regiments have been supplied
with these rifles, while old fint-lock guns,
! altered over, have been sent to US. Our Col.
left this morning for Indianapolis, to look
after some matters of Importance connected
with the regiment, and will probably sue
coed in getting the guns, sent by the Gov
eminent, for US.
The news that six more regiments of In
diana troops were to be received by the
Government was quite gratifying to the
boys, and | think that at least 500 out of the
| TO in the regiment, will re-enlist at the
end of the three months service.
There were but one or two boats stopped
to-day, and they were not detained. The
Captain Of the Autocrat, which was stopped
Tuesday night, put on % considerable many
airs " at first, and tried to bluff off the off.

however that he had encountered an officer
who was not to be scared, and who (while
Mr.. Autocrat was talking large) proceeded
to travel over the craft, to see what she
had aboard. Coming ugon some SALT ht
ordered Mr.. Autocrat to put that ashore
quickly. Mr.. Autoerat opened his eyes
was anxious to see the Colonel, and afte
that was very mild, and gently subsidized,

what a Brave Man Thought of JEFF
Davis.


happened to be in constant communica-
ton with Col. A. R. McClung, of Mississippi,
in 1849 and 80, and had almost daily con-
versatons with him in relation to promi-
nent Mississippians. As a matter of course
jeff. Davis was frequently named, and for
him McClung entertained the most supreme
contempt. He said that jeff. was not a man
of true courage-that he wished to be re-
garded as a duelist but, in giving chal-
lenge, would always cast about for a non
combatant, and would exercise enough pru-
dence to keep out of accepting one from an
antagonist over whom he had not great
advantage. McClung said, on one occasion {:
{" am very sorry | ever fought duel.
1t is not a pleasant business and yet
would like to fight one more, with one man,
and that man is Jefferson DaDiS, because
think the United States will be better with
out him. He will not fight me; he is too
big a coward. In fact, he is not now, never
was, and never will be, brave man, in the
true sense of the word He is a dangerous
and wiley politician, loaded down with
vanity and self conceit, wishing only for
his own aggrandizement and he cares not
at what expense or how many desolate
households. He thinks of himself, and
himself only, and l should not be surprised
to find him, one of these days, taking such
a step in public as will place his neck in a
halter for be is bad man and a scoundrel.
and l have frequently denounced him as
such before the people of Mississippi and
the dirty paltrOon and artful villain never
had the courage to resent it,"
These conversations occurred on board
the ship, B. Gardner, master, and were re-
lated to numerous persons by DR. Olmstead,
on his passage from New York 10 Valpa-
raise. Mr.. McClung was on his way to b.
livia, as Charge d Afairs from the United
States.
