Change of Sentlment1 In the Army.
There is abundant evidence Of radical
change of sentiment on the war, Its causes and
conduct, a1noug those who compose the army.
It has already been stated that Bsigsdier Gen
John A Logan confesses to q radical change
Of sentiment. The Quincy Whig learns that
Colonel Baue, Of the 50th Illinois, and Cap
tain Mccall. Of Colonel Cars cavalry, both
lifelong Democrats and opponents to ' aboN-
tion,n but after seeing slavery in its home, and
learning from scars, wounds and insults the
animus Of secession, candldty confess to a
change Of sentiment. It does not mean to say
that they are either Republicans or Abolition
ists, but i. understands that they think the
much regard for the feelings Of traitors and OF
care for their slaves, and they arefoE such q
change as will speedily end il, even if it cost
the abolition of every Woolly head in the land.
In tact, they don't care straw what becomes
Of slavery, OF how much the feelings Of trai'
tors are "ir1itated,'' il thereby the rebellion i
speedily brought to a close and the authoritie:
OF the Union restored.
These views, the Whig says, are also ayowee
by Major bays, Of the 18th Illinois, well
Known as leading Douglas politician Of Pist
a,untY. He acknowledges that his experience:
| in War hare changed his views, and he thinks
now that there can be no peace In this coun
Try while slavery continues to receive nationa
protection. He wishes his old Democratic
friends to know this, and not to couple thel
zeal for the Union with any conditions for th'

1,0Co,0co bales for 1he year, ard for this

acknowledgement Of the Times, the sales Of
cotton amounted to 153,S7O bales, Of which

of the impossibility of landing troops on

with officers about him of intelligence and
nautical experience, ought to have said,
plumply that if Vodges was not TO land
except in the case of an attack upon
Fort Pickens, he might as well have re-
manned at Fortress Monroe, as the pro-
hibition placed the fort, so far as he was
concerned, at the mercy or as the event

General, and the acting Secretary of War"
(A1r. Holt
After this statement how shall we ac-
count for the explicit declaration of Gen.
Scott that, " accidentally hearing early IN
March that under this posthumous order
(that of Mr.. Floyd of the 22d December)
the shipment of these guns had com
menced, l communicated the fact to Sec
retary Holt, (acting for Secretary Came
ron, just in time to defeat the robbery %
And this Is the same Secretary Holt
who had countermanded {" the postum
nous order" IN the previous December.
And, strange to say, these guns, but for
the alleged interposi:ion of General Scott,
were about TO be sent so late as March
from the loyal States into those over which
Jefferson Davis had then for some time
presided
Had General Scott reflected, for mo-
ment, he could rot have fallen into this
blunder. 1t is quite manifest he was
without a printed document and nv
Chis) official papers,
| 3 The Government had on hand in
/ the year 1859 about 500, 900 old muskois,
which had been condemned E.as unsuiia-
/ ble for public SERVICE" under he act Of
Sd of March. 1925. They were OF such
a character that although Offered both n
public and private sale for y 81 each,
purchasers could not be obtained al that
rate, except for = comparative small
number.
On the 30th of November, 1889, Sec
!,
whole number TlO5, ,OOOl TO b. sent from
the Springfield armory, where they had
accumulated, to five Southern arsenals.
''in proportion TO their respective mean:
of storage This order was carried iniC
effect by the Ordnance Bureau in tine
usual course of administration ard with
out reference TO the President.
| 1t is but justice 10 say that from tht
testimony before the Committee there i
no reason to suspect that Secretary Fioy,
issued this order from any sinister motive
Its date was months before Mr.. Lincoln
nomination for the Presidency, and nearly
wear before his election, ard whilst TN
Secretary was still an avowcd opponent 0
secession. Indeed. tie testimony Of Col
Craig and Capt. Alaynadier. of the Ord
nance, before the Committee is wholly in
consistent with any evil intention on his part
And vet these =. condemned muskcts,
with 4 few thousand ancient rifles of :
calibre then no longer used, are trans
formed by Gen. Scott into ll5, ,00i
ert,u nauskcts and ri;fies, 'r1h all ther IN
pLenteHts and ammunition This Is tn
first time / have heard-certainly then
was nothing Of the kind before the com
mittee-that ammunition was sent will
these condemned and inferior arms Il
their places OF stOra@e-just rs thong
they had been intended not for sale bu
for immediate use IN the field
The truth Is, that it Is impossible 1
steal arms and transport them from on
depository to another without the knowl
edge and active participation of the off
GERS of the Ordnance Bureau, both {
; Washington and at these repositories.
1t may be observed that Col. Crais
the head of the Bureau, at this perioC
was rs correct an officer, and rs loyal an
as honest a man as exists in the countr,
