Capt. Thos. F, Meagher and Russell's
Bull Run Letter.

Six Captains and twenty-three Lieuten-
ants of the New York Sixty Ninth, who
were present at the battle OF Bull Run,
have published reply to the contemptu-
Gus illusions to Capt. MEAeHER, contain

Times. They say:
eve, the undersigned, officers of the
Sixty Ninth, present at the battle Of Bull

phatically to state that no officer or SOL

intrepidity, than he did all through the
labors and teTrors of that battle.

How much Slaves are Worth in War.

The Montgomery (Alabama) advertiser
rejoices over the immense service of the
slaves to the rebels, as follows;
"The total white population of the ele-
ven States now comprising the Contedera-
cy is between five and six millions, and,
therefore, to ell up The ranks of the pro-
posed army about ten per cent. of the
entire white population will be required.
In any other country than our own such
a draft could not be met but the South
ern States can furnish that number of men
and still Tot leave the material interests of
the country IN suffering condition.
Those who are incapacitated for bearing
arms can oversee tbs plantations, and the
negroes can 90 on undisturbed in their
usual labors. In the North the case is
different; the men who join the army of
subjugation are the laborers, the producers
and the factory operatives. Nearly every
man from that section, especially those
from the rural districts, leaves some branch
of industry to suffer during his absence.
"The institution of slavery in the South
alone enables her to place in the field a
force so much larger in proportion to her
white population than the North, or i'm
deed than any country which is dependent
entirely on free labor. The institution is
tower of strength to the South, particu-
larly in the present crisis, and our enemies
Will be likely to find that the "moral can
GER" about which their orators are so fond
of pratng, is really one of the most effect
i've weapons employed against them by
the South. Whatever number Of men
may be needed for this war, we are conf
dent our people stand ready to furnish
We are all enlisted for the war, and there
must be no holding back until the indie
pendence of the Sou.b is fully acknowl-
edged.

Vacancy in the Senate.

There cannot be doubt that there is
vacancy in this Senate District, compo-
sed of Manitowoc and Calumet counties,
by the acceptance BY Senator SWEET, OF
the position Of Major in the army. To
sustain this view we copy the following
section in the State Constitution. Section
13 of Article 4, says:
mo person being a member of con-
gress, or holding any military or civil of
fee under the United States, shall be eligi-
bic to seat in the legislature and if any
person shall, after his election as mem
Der Of the Legislature, lie elected to Con
gress, or be appointed to any office, civil
or military, under the government Of The
United States, his acceptance thereof shall
vacate his seat"
Mr. SWEET cannot be called Senator
under any circumstances now, and our
District will be unrepresented in the State
Board of Equalization which is now as
sembled in Madison. 1t is very unac
countabe Why the State Authorities have
not given US notice of an election to fill the
vacancy. VII they do it in time for The
general election We will thank the
Madison Journal for Information.

FRIDAY MORNING, SEPT. 6, 1851.
Two Ways of Showing Patriotism.

-
The Philadelphia Presbyterian thus
truthfully describes two classes Of men who
claim TO be true patriots. and the article
is as applicable to Manitowoc as to any
other place. History will show which
class is the more worthy of the name
There are two classes Of persons among
US at present who claim to be true patriots,
aud warmly attached to the Constitution
and the Union, but they show their regard
for the country in very different ways.
The first class are Influenced by reason
and religion; they have deliberately made
M their minds that our government is
good one, and that it is our solemn duty
70 do all in our power to perpetua,e and
transmit it unimpaired to coming genera
tons. This class Of persons are cool,
deliberate and firm, Blu. kind they do not
make any violent and denunciatory speech
es, nor write many infammatory articles
for the press But they are either in the
army themselves, or their sons are there,
and their property, time and influence are
at the disposal or the government. They
are greatly grieved at the present state of
affairs, and bear their country, their ,chole
couatry, on their hearts to the mercy
seat, daily and hourly
The Presbyterian doubtless includes in
the above class the Democratic and con-
serva,ive Republican portion of the coun>
try, and the following must be the Adolf
ton faction, such as the Manitowoc Tri>
June and its Nettle Hill followers. Let
Va get the Presbyterian's opinion of them :
The second class are very Jealous,
noisy, clustering and tumultuous. On all
occasions they are ready to make bitter
and denuncia:ory speeches, write inham-
matory articles for the press, or preach
warlks sermons They denounce the
President, the Cabinet, and all who do not
agree with them, as tardy in their move
ments vacilating and tlmid in their poll
cy; they seek to establish their own pa
.rio,ism By denying the loyalty of others.
Pretty much all they do for their country
is done with the tongue, or with the pen
But they are very far from being the best
friends to the country, on whom she can
RELY with the greatest confidence in this
the time Of her danger"

Prince Napoleon in Milwaukee.

This gentleman must have passed Manu-
towoc on Friday, on the propeller May
flower, although be did not see fit to stop
here and give us sigh. at his distinguish
ed vissge He arrived in Milwaukee the
same evening, and lef. for St. Paul next
day. The Wisconsin gives the following
account Of his arrival:
"There were three or four French gen
tlemen with him, besides the agent and
servants. They came in plain, democratic
style, and seem TO have deported them
selves thus, while here. The Prince on
debarking from the boat, starred off on
foot for the Newhall. instead of taking a
carriage, as some poor devil of an Ameri-
can would do, and the first man he met
ne inquired the way to the Ne&hall On
reaching the hotel, instead of making a
grand entree at the front door, and rush
ing up to the Office and overpowering the
landlord and clerks with his style, and
the magnitude Of his importance as lie en-
ters upon the books "IIonorabie, High
tunc;ionary, Distinguished Mr.. Smith, of
Slabcity," &c. as the same poor devil of an
American would again be sure to do
the Prince walked around to the side en-
trance Of the hotel, and entered the saloon
and billiard apartment. Here he strolled
around little, looking at what was taxi
ing place, but we believe he did not step
up and take drink, and in this respect
also, he differed from the poor devil Of an
American"

others passed the following resolutions:
Resolved, That we will rot longer toll
crate the voice of treason, whether it
comes from those who sympathize with

upon subjugation to the death of an entire
South, and emancipation of all slaves held
by traitors or loyal citizens; apd who
openly advocate the turning of a war be-
gun to sustain the Government, into q
crusade against slavery.
Resolved, That we as loyal. law abiding,
and law upholding citizens, will cheer
fully sustain The President in his efforts to
maintain the dignity of the Constitution,
and to enforce obedience to the laws, and
will as cheerfullv give home aid to the
Government by furnishing in a summary
manner, those who are traitors to the I'm
ion, and who seek by their abolition senti-
ments, to plunge our unhappy country into
yet deeper strife.-Denlocrat.

Public Sentiment at the North.

Last week we published an extract from
letter of Hon. Geo b. SMITH, Of Madi-
son, written in New York 10 q friend in
this State, wherein he said he could see
in that city "among all classe. a growing
opposition to the war-a sort of sympa-
thy and siding with the South-a DISPOSE
ton to charge the whole difficulty upon
the Administration at Washington, and
the Republican party generally" and that
'this feeling was not confined solely to
Democrats by any means" The Milwau-
kee Sentinel and other papers have taken
objections to Mr.. Smiths views, and de-
MED that such sentiments were entertain
ed in New York or any other portion of
tie North, but Gov. RANDALL himself
comes up and sustains Mr. S., and reiter-
ates the sentiments of bis letter. In max
ing q speech to the 1st Regiment after its
return from Virginia, he said in emphatic
language:
Il say, as Geo. B. Smith said in his
published letter, that there is a growing
disposition at the East to force our people
into an ignominious settlement of our
troubles. | said it while | was Eas., and
you will find that the responsibility of this
war is finally to rest mainly on the people
of the great Valley of the Mississippi,
where our interests are not materially
effected By commerce."

A NATIONAL ARMY.-It is stated that
the recent order of the War Department,
ordering 10 Washington all the regiments
now organized in the Northern STAGES, and
all parts of regiments, even unarmed and
without uniforms, is but one step in the
new order Of things that has been inaugu-
rated since the adjournment of Congress.
That step will result in the formation of a
National army. The men, as they arrive,
will be formed into companies and regis
ments irrespective of the States from
which they come. They will be armed
and uniformed alike: the uniform being
the army regulation dress of blue CLOTH
A new nomenclature will be adopted, dis
carding the names of States, and referring
only to the position which the respective
regiment will occupy in the grand army
Of the United States.

navy Departments. They intimated quite
plainly that unless this were done they
should not risk their capital any further
Many leading Republican papers are clam-
orously calling for the same. 1t was be-
lieved however that the President would
not accede to the request at present. We
suspect he will be compelled to by the
force of public opinion at no distant day.
