SIR:-There should be perfect un-

following statement:
On the Goth OF September I left

mand of 4 column designed to move in
four separate bodies through this state
southwark.
1t was understood by the Senate.
and expected by the country. that a
satisfactory arrangement would be
made with Maj. Gen. Hunter. Such
was my conviction.

ing to arrange matters with him; to
resign nv seat in the Senate TO Won

to notify the President of the accept

general, which was not to issue until

OF slavery with free territory, and thus

HIS BUMP OF CoNsERvATlsM FLAT

HIS BUMP OF CoNsERvATls ISM FLAT
TENED oUT.-The Chicago Tribune
tells a story of Democratic Captain
who went to Missouri with his compa-
Notwithstanding he had serious con-
scientious scruples about engaging in
this war. The rebels drew the spikes
from the rails of road over which the
Captain and his company were being
conveyed. When the train reached
this point, the rails were displaced, and
every car went over the embaishment,
wounding a large number Of the boys
Among those hurt was the Captain
above alluded to. He was thrown up
on his head and remained insensible for
whole day. After he had regaincd
consciousness, the chaplain of the reg
iment, sitting by his side, asked him
how he felt Said he: "You know
how uncompromising Democrat I
have always been. l confess I had a
long and painful struggle with my con
science before getting my own consent
to take part in this war. But said
he. at the same time rubbing gently
his bruised head, "mv experience since

JEFF DAVIS ISAUGURAL.-The in
augural message Of jeff Davis as pres
idcnt of the southern confederacv has
been published. 1t is a compound of
falsehood, fear, gasconade and hypo-
critical professions of humility and re.
lance on Divine aid. One of its bra
zen statements is, the seeded States
"have neither asked nor received IS
sistance from any quarter" This state
ment, in the face of the perseverinc
applications fer the interference of for
eign nations to raise the blockade of
the ports Of the seeded States, is
enough to stamp the character of the
whole document. The following is the
closing performance:
"With confidence in the wisdom and
virtue Of those who will share with me
the responsibility, and aid me in the
conduct of public affairs; securely re-
lying on the patriotism and courage of
the people, of which the present var
has furnished SO many examples,
deeply feel the weight of the resaon-
slbilltles l now, with unaffected diff.
dence. am about to assume; and fully
realizing the inadequacy Of human
power TO guide and sustain, my hooe
Is reverentIy fixed on Him whose favor
j. ever vouchsafed to ire cause which
is Just. With humble gratitude and
alteration, acknowledging the Provi
dence whichs has so yisibIy protected
she contederacy during IT'S brief but
eventful career to Thee, O God ! I
trustingly commit. myself, and prayer
fully invoke Thy blessing on my coun-
1y and its cause"

THE DooN OF THE REBEL LEApER'

The Doom OF TIE REBEL LEADERS.
Colonel Richardson, Of the Military
Committee of the House, is preparing
a proposition for the punishment of the
doubledyed traitors who have added
perjury to treason. 1t will require the
confinement and refusal to exchange
all prisoners who may be taken or ar
rested as our armies advance, that had
taken the oath of duty and service to
the United States. This will include
Senators, Representatives Of the Army
and Navy, and indeed, all who have
been the recipients of the bounty of
the nation, whether in fame or profit
This measure will secure the proper
punishment of the rebel leaders, while
it draws broad distinction between
aVem and their infatuated followers.

GRAND RAPIDS, March -, '62.

MIR. EDIToR:-1 notice in your last is
sue that you have called the attention Of
the citizens Of the county to our Union
School, and the Importance Of visiting
it and cooperating with the teachers
in all proper methods for the advance
ment and training Of our youth and
children. Your informant probably on
~ gave you the number in the first de-
partment, as we then had nearly one
hundred and forty in attendance. Our
present attendance in both departments
is one hundred and torty-four. The
average attendance is one hundred and
thirty. We sincerely, cordially and
earnestly invite the parents of the
youth and children, and all others who
take any interest in schools, to come
and see us. The latch string is always
out, and we shall never consider you
intruders.
You speak of my proposition for the
purpose of getting bell. If, howev-
er, the bell can be obtained by other
means, to be preferred, my proposition
is still good, and the funds will be us
ed in purchasing apparatus for illu>tra-
ting the sciences, much need OF which
is now felt, as we have now only forty
dollars worth, and need two hundre d
at least.
My proposition is this : to give TWEEN
~ lessons at three dollars each, and
devote the whole to the school as
above. Yours, &c,
NJ. W. MARTIN.

The result of the New Hampshire
election in ll9 towns, gives Berry

1t is believed that Gov. Berry's major

Republican majority in the House will
be from so to IS: The Republicans
have also probably elected ten out OF

From Gen. Pope,s Command.

WASHINGTON, Aug. IA letter from Vir-
ginia says that Gen. Hatchs cavalry brigade
belonging to Gen. Pope's command is actively
scouting the whole country from the enemy
lines to Little Washington, but is not meeting
with any large force. He, however, is max
ing it too hot for spies and guerrillas, many of
whom are frequently captured and consigned
to the charge of the provost marshal.
A letter from Gen. SiegePs command, da-
ted at Sperryville, July 2lst, says their sup
plies are now received from Warenton, the
road to Winchester and Front Royal being
closed by guerrillas. Sometimes the supplies
are short, but the quartermasters are blamed
for that. The divisions of the corps had re-
Gently been reviewed, and the German regi-
ments appeared to be better drilled than the
American. Since Blenker has been dismissed
there has been little reason to complain of
pundering by the German regiments. The
recent order of Gen. Pope, directing that the
army shall subsist as far as possible on the
country through which it moves, was received
with favor.
PHILADELPHIA, August IA special dis
patch from Washington says that the CORES
pondent of the Inquirer preached here to-
night from Warrenton bringing the intelli-
gence that Major General Pope's army had

GUERRILLAs IN LoUIsIANA.-For some
time back the land pirates in the service of
Van Dorm have been amusing themselves by
taking Union men from their plantations up
the river, and without trial or form of law,
hanging them or spiriting them away from
their homes and families. Gen. Butler, on
Sunday night, sent detachment of the 26th
Massachusetts to the place where these out
laws have been carrying on their bloody
work, some miles up the river, with instruc-
tions to arrest such persons as were known
to sympathize with Van Dorn's murderers
The troops acted discreetly. They made
diligent inquiry, and came off with eight pris-
oners-one of them a Mr.. Burbanks, the
brother-in-law of John Slidell and Gen.
Beauregard. These men are now in custody
in town. Notice is, or has been sent to Van
Dorm, that the persons who hanged the Union
men must be given up; that two United
States soldiers captured by the guerrillas
must be given up; that all guerrilla warfare
must stop-else these, and other planters OF
Louisiana, who encourage the guerrilla mode
of war, will be hanged in retaliation.-New
