The Officers Of Nine Months Regiments

Gov. Holbrook, acting with promptitude
and from conviction Of duty, has appointed
most Of the field and staff offers Of the nine
month militia regiments. For some time the
question has been raised in private circles here
whether this course was legal and proper and
communication in the Times of the llth inst ,
called attention to the proceeding and CUES
ton its legality. The question having Just
been brought to the attention OF Gov. Hol
brook, alter taking advice from eminent legal
conference.-the has determined to retrace his
course.
We suppose, then, that all appointments
made In those regiments are void. Inc officers
will now be appointed in accordance with the
provisions of the State Constitution which de-
clare that the several companies of militia shall
as often as vacancies happen elect, their Captain
" and other officers, and the Captains and sub
" alterns shall nominate and recommend the
" field officers of their respective regiments,
" who shall appoint their staff officers. BUR-

Gen. Reno.

The whole loyal country will grieve to Learn
of the death OF this brave and Efficient officer
He was Pennsylvania by birth, and was onl,
thirty-seven years old. He was entered at Yves
Point in 1912, and was graduated seventh in hi
class in 1916. He was brevetted Second Lieu
tenant of Ordnance, and went to Mexico, par
| ticipating in every engagement from Vera Cruz
to the City of Mexico. For his gallantry a
Cerro Gordo he was brevetted First Lieutenant

wounded, and was brevetted Captain Septem
Der 18th, 1847, In both these engagements he
commanded battery.
| After the peace with Mexico, for six months
he was Assistant Professor of Mathematics at
West Point, and for the next year and half was
Secretary to the Artillery Board, during which
time he was engaged in testing heavy ordnance
and compiling tactics for heavy artillery. For
time he was on the Coast Survey, and was
afterwards employed in Typographical duty at
the West, and for u year was engaged in building
the military road from the Big Sioux river to St,
Paul, Minnesota Territory. From 1854 to 1857
he was stationed at the Frankfort Arsenal
He then went to Utah as chief ordnance Off
Ger of the expedition under Gen. Johnston, and
stayed there till 1859, when he returned and
was stationed at Mount Vernon Arsenal in Al

Der, 1861.
His first service Of Importance in the present
war was in the North Carolina campaign, where
he commanded the second division under Gen

He showed himself to be vigilant skilled
and able commander. So satisfactory was his
career that in returning to the Department of
Virginia with his forces, he was made Maj. Gen.
of Volunteers. His death was worthy of his
life, and both were worthy of the country which
will always be his debtor.

Strong Words for Emancipation from
Missouri.

Judge Wells Ct Jefferson. Missouri, writes
concerning emancipation:
eff slavery be not abolished by the people of
Missouri, and the war continues and yet leaves
slavery, it will probably be abolished by militia
ry authority as a military necessity, and with
out compensation. But whilst we are lighting
for slave territory what is to become OF the peO-
pie of Missouri? Already has slavery in this
state cost the people of Missouri and the gov
eminent of the United States u hundred fold the
value of all the slaves we possess, and is yet
likely to cost another hundred fold, besides
death in nearly every family, and distress in
conceivable. Is there no remedy, no hope?
Can the people do nothing? Can or will the
convention do nothing? Must Missouri, as
slave territory, continue to be fought for like
carcass, by panther and bear! This cannot
be- But if this state of things continues think
l can see other calamities IN the future, too
dreadful to contemplate"
Col. Thomas q, Gautt, of the same state,
writes from St. Louis;
" The question of emancipation has become so
practical and so vital in Missouri its consid-
Grafton has been so directly forced upon US,
that all objections to It's discussion founded on
the desire to avoid agitation, are in my Judg-
ment set at rest. We must consider Two
must determine what we will DO in respect to
it. From this necessity see no escape. The
condition OF things i'll Missouri is most critical.
what was unprecedented by some of US more
than eighteen months ago has come to pass.
The men who claimed 20 be the especial cnan-
pions OF negro slavery were then warned that
In their senSeIess attempt to obtain it some
new and most unnecessary guarantees they
were guilty not only OF the wickelness Of seek
ing to subyert the nation but Of the folly of
destroying the best support of the system they
protested to protect. The people of Missouri at
this day must, believe. make their choice Ell
ther to abandon slavery or to take the most ex.
treme risk OF disorders that viii involve all ILL
terests IN the state III one common ruin. "

Aiming the Slaves,

The Toronto Globe, one of the most widely
circulated liberal journals of Canada thus
speaks of the policy of emancipation and arm
ing the blacks:
We look upon the events of the last few
days as certain to cause prolongation of the
war for some months The South will have
increased courage to resist; the North will
need greater number of men, who can not be
drilled In day nor month. Thousands of
lives must be sacrificed, because the Washing
ton authorities did not appreciate the situation
1t is the old mistake of civilians directing
military operations at distance. Can it be
wondered, as the prospect of the end of the
rebellion becomes more remote, as it becomes
clearer that more and still more Northern men
will perish ere the great fight against slavery
can be successfully concluded, that the Amer
lean people turn with greater liking to a

We have received the following communlca-

Mr.. EDITOR In justice to Mr.. A. D. Met
calf will you please give the following state
ment of facts, as handed to me by person who
was present, an Insertion in your paper.
About nine o'clock on the evening of the 18th
inst, at Montpelier as Mr. Metcalf, Grand
Juror from Mortified, was returning from an
evening session of that body and about to enter
his Hotel, he was accosted by one of large
company of soldiers, " hen the following CONVEX
saton took place
Soldier" We understand you are Seces-
sionlst.'
Metcay-" Do you, indeed was not aware
of that. clam to be a Union man IN euerv
sense of the word.'
Soldier Are you willing to cheer the Stars
and Stripes )"
Mesealf- am, ION all proper occasions, and
should be pleased to cheer worthy sentiment
now
No one volunteering to offer sentiment, Mr..
Metcalf proposed one, which was as follows ::
The Constitution of the United States and
Union forever" Whereupon three rousng
cheers were given with a will Also three cheers
were given for Mr.. Metcalf when the crowd dis.
persed in the best of humor.
What could have been the occasion of thus
accosting Mr.. Mecalf we-are unable to see, un-
less it should have been that some evil-disposed
person should have informed some of the soldiers
that Mr.. Metcalf was a secessionist for the pur-
pose of getting him into difficulty with them. If
such was the fact they made most signal fail
ure. They were mistaken ln their subject for
in the first place he always was and still is a
Union man, and never breathed disunion SEN
timent in his life, but has contributed to help
the soldiers in his own town probably more, &C
cording to his means, than any other man.
1t certainly must be embarrassing for man
to be confronted in a public place and be
charged with disloyalty and secessionism by a
crowd of soldiers, and strangers at that. But
we are informed that the most cordial feelings
existed between the soldier boys and Mr.. Met
calf, and many of them stepped forward and
shook hands with him and made his acquain-
lance, and, as | have no doubt, found him, as he
is, gentleman and man who will never repu-
date his taxes to support them, or vote to with
bold supplies from them while fighting the bat
ties of their country for the :" Constitution and
Union. A CITIZEN OF NoRTHFIELD
