Uncle Sam and Family,

Yankee Freedom is lad
And Union is his sister;
Uncle Sam he is their dad
And he'll give secesh toister,
For they said Mrs. Sam she died

But you, Secesh, indeed have lied,
And now he's going to birch you.
Yankee and sister, too,
Are bound on retribution
For our mother they said they knew
Died of broken Constitution.
But Yankee Freedom will now show
Secesh to have been mistaken;
Though of necessity he's their foe
Until again they right awaken.
Then secesh the tune will find

SOLDIERS Is THE PENIT Is about
time that some OF the abuses Of our brave volun-
Isers were stopped A few days since we men
toned the fact that nearly Hundred Of the m
were confntd In tie District Penitentiary for triv
ial offences.
One man WIS sentenced to the Penitentiary
- walking en- the grass, another for taking
sh.Ft another for TAX ng pound or two OF meat,
q half dozen because they refused TO march upon

son bo.h fighting 10 sustain government which
lurns round ana treat them thus; and when Sena-
,6Y Harris went TO Adjutant General Thomas
oHce to see about this matter, he could get no
satisfaction.
wcuId II not be well II some of the "irrs gx-
iariGisg Of this regular officer were looked after
We repubIIsh ths above from a recent number
Of tie " aShing;on Republican, In order to explain
that II does great Injustice not only to Adiutant
General Thomas, bat to the courts martial Of the
service who sentenced the prisoners In question
TO the EenitentIsry Of this District.
Dat Of an army Of about 10 COO men, II seems
that there were only ninety who had committed
crimes cons guins them to such punishment-in
ne ,5ly evc,y instance crimes punishable with
d-a.h under the military law, and with death
or similar conf nement uEier the civil law Of the
land In nearly all these ninety cases the SEN
te1ce Of confinement in the District penitentiary
was but conmutation OF the death punishment
We are no, little amused at the Republican,
story about the agency Of Senator Harris In the
cas- In connection with which II lugs In thai
Rentleman'S name. We know positively tina
Adjuian: General Thomas had called the atten.
ton OF the President and Secretary OF War to tn,
inegeIIty OF sentencing the oacer In question, OF
any other, to that particular punishment; had OBJ.
tanned their sanction to his view Of the case, and
had actually directed the order dis9pprovinS so

These facts show how little ground there 10 for
