HR- EDToR !: 1 was good deal surp rised ut
some Of the statements contained In an article
In the Republican Of this morslng, the caption
and nrst, second, sad fourth paragraphs Of
which are quoted above for 1 thought that
the conductors Of the Washington press, at
least, were acquainted with the action Of John
@. Rives In behalf Of the families Of members
Of the First Regiment d. q. volunteers. But
you seem to be wholly unaware Of IL; please
allow me TO tell you, very briefly, something
Of this one magnificent exception TO the indif-
ference, or worse, which you have 80 generally
charged upon this community as respects It's
treatment Of such Of Its members as have taken
up arms-on the Union side.
In October last, Mr.. Rives proposed, through
Colonel TAFT, to pay out Of bis own purse, to
the wife Of each soldier Of that regiment need
Ing such aid, the sum Of ten dollars month,
and to each Of her children one dollar o
month, while, In the cass Of single man, who
had o mother or grand mother dependent up
on lin, the bounty was extended to her, az II
also was 10 the motherless children of soldiers,
in larger sums than to children having parents
The payment Of this "relief money" (as II
was generally called by the recipients) was
commenced 10 November, 1861, and continued
until Nay, 1862, inclusive, involving an average
monthly disbursement Of upwards Of one thou.
sand dollars
Nor did Mr.. Rives restrict his bounty 10 the
families Of those only who were residents Of
this District-though one of the primary oh.
jects was to encourage enlistmsnts among
them; but when II was suggested to him-toward
the end Of Winter-that men from Pennsylva-
mia, and from other places, had attached them
selves 10 this regiment, and that the crcum.
stances Of some OF them seemed To entitle them
10 the same consideration which be had shown
to men volunteering among US, he consented,
with that ready generosity which Ia almost
Synonymous with bis name, to place them on
bis payroll.
Knowing all the circumstances attending his
action In this matter, have taken advantage Of
Mr. Rives's absence from the city to state o fe,o
Of them to you, and thus to correct, II may be,
an essential misstatement Of your article.

DRIVE THEN OUT.

It must be distinctly understood that nobody
will be permitted TO live within the territorial
limits Of the United States except those who
will give the proper evidences Of loyalty to the
Government Those who will not take the
oath Of allegiance must be hanged, imprisoned,
or exiled. We cannot allow hostile persons to
remain In our very midst, Matching treason,
giving information to the public enemy, and
distracting our councils by their disoordant
sentiments. This rule ought TO be inaexible as
to all males Who have reached the military age.
Gen. Pope Ia SO applying 1t within the limits
Of bis imoortant department 1t is rule which
will leave no enemies behind, a. we advance
into rebeidom.
In most cases, the families Of men In the
rebel service ought to he compelled to 60 with.
in the Confederate lines. OF course, this is to
be done with great consideration as to time
and circumstances, because It affects women
and children; but nevertheless II must be done.
These families Of rebels, remaining among us
while the husband and father Is fighting against
us, are nothing more or less than 60 many hos
tile outposts, videttes and spies, quartered In
our very midst. They are points from which
reasonable sentiments are circulated, and with
In the shelter of which reasonable schemes are
constantly hatched.
Why should the family, the wife and daugh.
ters, Of that doubly. .forsworn traitor. Charles
J. Faulkner, be permitted to occupy his house
and estate.at Martinsburg, and there. under
the shelter Of the laws and power Of the United
States, exert all their faculties to circulate Sc
ditlous views, and to obtain and send down to
Richmond every scrap Of information likely to
be useful to the rebel cause?
A large number of houses 10 this city are
occupied to day by the families of men holding
Conspicuous positions, civil and military, In
the rebel service. Many Of these houses are
boarding houses, and largely patronizsd, we
are sorry to say, by officers in our own army
Every word dropped 10 the hearing of these
families, which II can benefit the rebels To
know, Is at once communicated to them by that
species of underground telegraph, which Is
never interrupted, and never gets out of order.
In thousand ways these families do great and
incessaDt mischief to the Union cause. 1t Is
their influence, to which Is to be attributed the
extent to which what is called the social -
tone Of Washington, is favorable 10 secession.
They give treasonsble aspect to fashionable
life here, and vitiate public sentiment in all
possible ways.
Drive them ont the men without ceremony,
and the women and children little more ten
derly. But drive them all out
Instead Of the silly scheme Of dsporting the
harmless and inoaensive negro, whose labor We
need, lst US enter upon the sensible and essen-
tial wsrk Of forcing every rebel into exile who
will not submit to the laws. The United
States have territory Of three million Of
square miles, bu. even that is not large enough
to tolerate the presence Of q single traitor.
