The Dssposai Of Human OOnfrnhands."
The Secretary of waE, in ordering that all
escaped slaves within the Federal military
lines be sot to work and paid as day laborers,
shows that Mr.. Cameron fully understands
the nature of the present struggle. The
Government confscates munitions Of war
provisions, clothing and other supplies inter
oeptsd on the way to the rebels, and there is
no good reason why the rebels should be
allowed the labor Of those who construct
Their notifications, act as teamsters, and, in
many cases, as soldiers in tie ranks. tits a
proper case for the exercise Of military au-
thority, and has no connection whatever With
the constitutional questions in regard to the
institution OF slavery. The negro population
ofthe rebel States are being made to do effect
i've service against the Government and it is
a "military necessity that those brought
into the field be so disposed of when they fall
into our possession, as to secure the Govern
ment against repetition oftheir hostile acis'
The masked batteries, rife pits, and 9TH

Aoyed our troops in Western Virgins al
Bull Run, and elsewhere, were constructed
almost exclusively by negroes, the Southern
soldiers being poorly htted for such service
Take from the enemy the chattel wing o
their army, and it is safe to say that masked
batteries and earth Notifications will be less
efficient in the future. Considering thes'
facts, the least the Government can do, con
sistent with its own interests and safety, i
to deprive the rebellion Of the benefits &C

in the service Of fils armies, and to make sucl

How the Adrnnes !. o be Made.

Not being military" we have never
thought it worth while to offer advice to
those in charge of the army, but it has been
a nstter of wonder to US that our forces,
when the grand advance was begun, should
have been led directly up to the favorite bat
tie field of the enemy-where they were en-
trenched with masked batteries on chosen
grOund-instead of proceeding by some
other route. Lookout" the well.posted
correspondent of the Baltimore Clipper,
writes as follows as to what will probably
be the plan of the next advance movement:
"Notwithstandit some opinions to the
contrary, there is 30 doubt that Eastern Vir.
ginia will be the great battle field on which
the fate of the contest will be settled. It is
a wide field, and cannot be covered with
masked batteries.' It is full of common
roads, and offers excellent avenues for the
passage of armies. The weakness for fol-
lowing up troops on railroads was about
cured at Bull Run, and with pieces of ertil-
lery counting by hundreds, preceded by
plentiful squadrons of light cavalry, the ar
mics Of tho Union will march securely for
ward without danger Of an ambuscade.'

Explanatory Letter from Governor Denni-
sOa.

A01s
Gov. Dennison has addressed the following
letter to the Cincinnati Gazette, in response
to complaints on the part of some OF the
Cincinnati volunteers. The letter, however
possesses q general interest for the reason
that complaints of similar nature have en-
anated from companies in other portions o.
the State. We have always believed the
dissatisfaction of the troops arose from ar
imperfect understanding of the circumstan.
oas and the action of the Governor, and We
BOW submit the letter for the consideration
of those honest and weI-meaning, bat We
believe, deceived soldiers who have deemed
themselves aggrieved:
STATE OF OHIO, EXECUTIVE DEPT,
COLUMBUS, August 3, 1861.
Eos. GAZETTE: find in the reported speech
of Rev. Maxwell P Gaddis, on the occasion
of the return of the companies Of the Second
Ohio Regiment to Cincinnati, the following
paragraph:
again would l return our thanks to the
Committee OF Seventeen. The United States
Government has treated Us well, but not so
with the leading Government officials of the
State; and had it not been for the exertions
of sach men as the committee is composed of,
zext Sabbath would still have found us in
camp, instead of the homes of those we
love"
While ithas not been my habit to notice
misrepresentation of my official conduct, |
feel that in the present instance, it is due,
both to the volunteers and 70 myself, that the
mistakes ofthis paragraph should be corrected
at least in so far as it attributes to me a want
of proper effort TO hasten the return OF the vol
urteers to their homes. The facts are simply
these: Finding that the four Cincinnati
companies could not receive their pay from
the United States Paymasters for several
days after their arrival here, I cheerfully ac-
cepted the suggestion of Col. McCook that
with all the companies Of different regiments
returning here they should be sent home to
be there mustered out of service SO soQqle Qqle.ss sss
frTequested Paymasters Mcdowell and Taylor
t. mako payment at such places of rendezvous
as might be selected by this Department, in
dicatiRg Cincinnati for the Hamilton county
companies, to which they promptly acceded.
A telegram was Immediately prepared un-
der my directions, to Quartermaster Dicker-
son, Cincinnati, requesting him to provide
transportation, directing that cars should be
in readiness here on Friday morning to take
The soldiers to Cincinnati Just after the
preparation of that dispatch ION Wednesday, J
Mr.. West and Mr-- called at my Office
and showed me a telegram from the CON-
mittee in Cincinnati, stating that arrange
ments had been made for taking the Gin
einnad companies home on Friduy morning.
| not only expressed my consent to that ar
rangement but commended it, saying to the
gentlemen representing the Cincinnati COM
mittee, that it would be better for the soldiers,
because, as l supposed, the railroad would
make no charge for transportation, or if it
did, the committee would pay it and therefore
the amount of their fare would be saved to
the soldiers. Respectfully,
WIN. DEKNIsoN,

The prisoners were quickly liberated and
will be taken to Fort Lesvenworth. The
troops returned this afternoon and are on
their way up the river. Col. Thayer states
he saw nothing like rebellion at Independ-

"The politicians ar their Old Game.'

"The Politicians at their Old Came"
A correspondent in Geneva, Ashtabula
county, sends US lengthy article under the
above title, devoted to an advocacy of Union
candidates for State offices at the approach
ing election. We have not space for the
article in full, but extract the following par
agraphs:
"At present, whatever may be said to the
contrary, there are hut two parties in The
country, that the people recognize-the one
for the Union and the Constitution; the other
opposed to the Union and the Constitution,
and would destroy both and substitute an
archy in their stead. In this State we do not
suppose there are any bold enough to openly
declare themselves secessionists and djsuniOn-
lists, but there are those who would, md we
fear will, give aid and comfort TO treason by
laboring to resuscitate party strife, discussing
party questions, and putting in nomination
party candidates. All such may as well
understand at once that the people regard
the least t'isff sign Of discord among Union
men will be hailed by the disunionists and
traitors with exultation, and will inspire them
with fresh courage and prompt them to re-
newed exertion. And he, whoever he may be,
who for the sake Office, would endaneer the IN
animity that should exist amongst all Union
men till treason is 6Iss.med and disunion
crushed, would be an avoWed traitor were be
a citizen Of South Carolina.
Let rs bar in mind
that all party lines and party distinctions
were obliterated by the first gun fred on
Sumter; and that every ono is an enemy
who shall attempt to revive them till treason
is crushed out-till the Stars ana Stripes
shall wave over every State, and the Cousti-
tuition be acknowledged as the supreme law
over every part of our broad domain"

plants about the amount charged them for
clothing furnished them by the State. The
facts are that no charge was made for the
clothing first issued to them, and for that
subsequently supplied on requistion OF their
Colonel, such a sum was charged as he
decided to be equitable: The following is q
statement ofthe number of articles furnish
ed and the prices they cost this State:

The number of men in Col Barnetts COM
mand and the amount paid them was as fol-
lows:
Privates 102, non-eommissioned officers
20, total l22; total amount paid 50, ,694. Sc
average $50 %.
Some Of the above had served but for
few days consequently it makes the average
less for those who served during the whole
