CaIlInr ourthe rTLIItin.

The Richmond Esazainer refers IN the following
terms to the Proclamation of the Governor of Vir-
ginia, calling out the militia Of that State:
We are on the eve of strange events. The militia
have been called out by proclamation-a thing never
done save when the Commonwealth is in great and
eminent danger. All men not in volunteer COM
panies, between the ages of Is and 10, the cOun
ties of Goochland Hanover HenricO and the city of
Richmond, are ordered to report themselves in
Richmond
Such spectacle as they will present has not been
witnessed since the days of the Revolution Men
of many nations, armed with every variety of wea-
pom, will be marched and mustered under the ban
ner with the new deyice-the Stars and Bars. Gen,
tlemen from Hanover, hitherto engaged in the pre-
duetiOn Of Watermelons and sweet potatoes, will
jostle in the same cohort with the fiery boys from
Darby Town, who have grown to mans estate cry
ing charcoal side by side, beneath the banner,
the tObseco planter and the commission merchant
viii chew their respective quids-one and all pre-
pared to do or die for their country.
But stranger sights than even this viii be wit
messed on our streets. Spry old bachelors and
widewers, who TIL now have gloried in whiskers
and moustaehe darker than the ravens wing, will
certainly fOrswear "Cristadorsn and grow foxy.
Glittering front teeth that have long excited our
envy will be found missing from their sockets; men
will grow bald in q night aud wigs and tOupees
will be bought no more; partial blindness will strike
many who hitherto have been lynXeyed and men,
whose main effort it has been through life 20 hide
some deformity, will sport conspicuously their
physical defects. Club-feet and misshapen limbs
will make their appearance where we least expect
them; crutches and walking sticks will be bound
upward in the msrketfOr rheumatism will sorely af
fct the land; and in general, the rapid current of
events in the next three days will have added at
least five years to the age Of many young looking
"head of family"
But TESTING aside, it seems evident to US that
while some little good may be effected by the OBJ
servance of the requirements of this proclamation
great and serious evils WILL st the time, inev
tably result. Whereas many idle, dissOlute and
vicious vagabonds will be put into honest employ
ment, the whole business of both town and country
will be stopped by the withdrawal from their ordi
nary pursuits Of all the able-bodied active and use
full men, asa
If, then, the terms of the proclamation are to be
strictly enforced, we nothing in the future for
the community bat unusual disorder, confusion and
disastrous loss.

A Card from Gov, Uampbens

EDrroRs OF THE UNION AND AMERICAN Permit
me to correct an erroneous statement in your paper
to-day in relation to myself Under the head of
'Army Appointments for Tennessee" 1t is stated A.:
ARMY APPOINTMENTS TOR TENNESSEE "A special
dispatch to the Memphis appeal, dated Richmond,
July H. says Gen. G. J. Pillow, S. r. ANDERSON,
and DANIEL s. DONALDSON, have been appointed
Brigadier Generals of the Provisional Forces in the
service of the Confederate States. similar ap-
pointment was rendered Governor CAMPBELL, who
declined
No such appointment has been rendered to and
declined by me in the service of the Confederate
States. w. B. CAMPBELL.
THE statement in our paper was from Richmond
correspondent of the Memphis Appeal 1t seems
that he was in error. We nevertheless feel assured
that if Gov CAMPBELL wishes to go into the
of the Confederate States, and will SO state, that
position of Brgadier General will be rendered him.
We speak from a knowledge of the Presidents re-
Gently expressed views in relation to Gov. CAMP
BELLS. @
The fact that Gov. CAMPBELL declined a high
commission from Gov HARRIs, may have induced
the President to withhold the tender OF one to him.

Condition Of LincoIn,s soldiers.

The work of subjugsting the South does not
prove so pleasant thing as many of those who
hastily enlisted in LlSeOLN's army, expected to find
it. Complaints are made that thousands of the
troops are half fed, half clothed, and dying daily
BY sickness in large numbers. The following is en
extract of a letter from member of the Garibaldi
Guards, stationed at Washington, to Mr.. Gnos of
New York. The letter is published in the Courier
dss Eats Uais. The writer says
Nearly all our men are badly clothed The in
sects have begun their havoc and they very in
furious to the health. The waIt of straw the
cold damp air st night and the tropical heat during
the day, all combined bring on sickness, such as
fever, rheumatism and soreness of the eyes. Be-
sides, our suffer greatly on account of the bad
quality Of their clothing and shoes. Their uni
forms are nearly all gone the cloth is rotten and
faded. We have not received anything since our
departure from New York, and my belief is that
we will not, go we are compelled to have recourse
to some brotherly assistance. Our men stand in
the greatest need of clothing, such shirts socks
anything you can seRd US will be some help, as
we have nothing to expect here. Go and see cur
friends, all who pretend to be so, and try your
best to procure aid for the French Garibaldians.o
correspondent in one of the Ohio regiments
writes to the Cincinnati Times from Vienna as fol-
lows aa.t>
GOur fare consists Of the following: Breakfast,
hard crackers and unwholesome Coffee dinner,
bean-soup, the latest of fat pork and pilot bread
supper, repetition Of breakfast This is the diet
upon which we are to do double duty, such as
scouting, picketing, &C., and are expected to be
ready at any and all times to meet the enemy. The
latter we can bear-the former requires more sub
stantisl food have heard of mock turtle soup,
but never before did l see mock-bean soup, for on
my honor, in the cup of soup that fell to me, not
one single solitary bean could be found.

are, even now, OVERLOOKING The City Infirmary

An characterization will be the result if it is not
soon remedied. 1t hiss been suggested that the

Tennessee, chivalrous Tennessee, can never oc-
cupy such position 1t is the position Of the para
site and the coward, and viii never be admitted.
If we have in any way mistaken the position of
Judge CATION, we hope that either he or some of
his friends will explain it, We would be happy
to see some other construction put upon
his course, if it legitimately can be DONE We have
waited patiently for an explanation, of the dis
patches received some time since from St. Louis,
but none has been given. But no man, how
ever high, ought to reside in Tennessee and hold
courts Of the United States for the trial of treason
on the ground of taking up arms to resist this I'M
holy war. If he be citizen of the United States
and judicial officer under its Government, he
should reside in the dominions of the despot,
tyrant and usurper, and not claim protection from
our Government. This much Is clear What
would be done with an Ohio or Massachusetts,
Judge who should make occasional visits to the
Confederate States to try persons charged with
offences against its Government? He would not
be tolerated for one moment in such course. 1t
would be regarded as an insult to the self respect
the independent existence and the. safety Of the
State in which he lived. .4!s' asa
The people of the South are more tolerant than
their enemy, but they cannot patiently and continu
ously bear such contempt of their solemn resolves
mics would require the m to submit to. They must
and will assert their authority whenever their own
honor, self-respect and demands it.
