The Cuaaers and the War.
1t is generally understood that IN EN- be,


1t is generally understood that members
OF the Society of Friends are non-combat-
ants, and decline to become soldiers or to
use violent means of seli-defeRse There
are some venerable "Joes" respecting the
mode OF accommodating the non resistant
theory to the tercest exi.encies OF actual
conflict: one, of Ii Quaker y no was on Il
~essel attacked by an enemy, and, the lea
der OF the latter being about to board the
snip by means OF "a rope hanging over her
side, the nOn-com Blatant addressed him
thus: Friend, thee wants that rope p
thee sail have it T. and thereupon cut
the rope, and the bloodthirsty assailant
sank into the waters
1t would seem, however. that notwith-
standing the test monies Of the body, in
this present war for national preservation
Friends are very much like other people.
The complaints accordingly, that they
claim exemption from military duty are
best disposed OF by facts. There are. not
Il few young men in the 18th regiment in
this city whose names are on record AS
members OF the Society, but who have
cen ready rs any of their fellows for TO
shoulder their DIusket when called To du-
ty We may take Pennsylvania, however,
as the sample par eUce{feRce, OF what they
nave done, because It was founded l,v a
Quaker, and Is more identified with Qua
kers than any other State. Chester coun-
t. OF that State, whose people are chiefly
Friends, has supplied almost her full quo

the state, almost all the Quakers, as well
as other classes able to shoulder Il mus
ket, went in.o the ranks, and scarcely any
remained behind except the infrm In
some companies, over three fourths were
Friends or Quakers. One in particular,

Shall Friends or Enemies Lead.

Public sentimen. has been greatly mod
fled by the Presidents Proclamation, the
great mass of the people conceeing the
principal TO be correct, and most of them
reoretting the postpenement OF the appli-
cation OF the principle till the beginning
OF next year The great trouble has been,
and still is, that we have too many officers
in the army in sympathy with Slavery, or
like Key on Haiieck's staff, who declares
that we must not defeat the rebels so as
to humiliate them and prevent a reconciiia-
ton And the war has been carried on
on our side hitherto, as though we did not
wish to defeat the rebels overwhelmingly,
but preferred to keep the strife as evenly
balanced possible in order to bring a
bout a compromise. If the President
were to dismiss all he eiicers who sympa-
thize with Key he would accomplish a
great revolt ton as he has by his procll In
alton. Nor do we see how this proclaim
alton is to be carried out and the war en-
ded, with so many pro slavery generals in
command. The President is under as
much obligation to put those III command
To execute the provisions of his proclama-
tiou w 10 believe in It's principles. as he
was to issue the proclamation itself No
one can read the correspondence of Gen.
Phelps with Gen. Butler at New Orleans,
and his farewell address to his troops,
without feeling unless he is a pro sla-
very man-that Gen. Phelps was as truly
n martyr 10 Slavery as any Of its victims
on the slave plantations OF the South
And then anti-siavery generals that have
not resigned have been relieved Of their
command aal laid on the shelf, or assign
Ell to unIppOrtant fields. Why are not
Fremont, Cassius VI. Clay, Hunter, and
JAS. IL Lane assigned TO commands
They are ali fighting men of conceded abil-
ity, but they believe in striking at the
heart of the rebellion and in using the
slaves in this warfare, in all practicable
ways
We shall never succeed on the present
plan. The friends of the new policy
must be put forward to execete it, and
will surely strangle the proclamation TO
death
For ourselves, though we should re-
joice to be able to chronicle the end of the
rebellion to morrow, we do not expect to
see the rebellion crushed out till Fremont
and those like him are at the head of our
armies. The government should have
IN tgnaninity enough. after having adopt
ed his policy to call on him to execute it.
What a thrill Of enthusiastic JOY would
sweep through all loyal hearts if Fremont
We're tomorrow called to take the place
OF iialieck We know there must be Il
change OF policy, or the policy viii never
be carried out. When that Is done the
war Tor the Union viii begin IN earnest,
and the beginning OF the end OF secession
viii nave come. Let not the people settle
down INTO the belief that the proclamation
alone Is to do the work. The spirit CT the
proclamation must Undue our officers ard
soldiers and people, and then the bless
ings Of Almighty Gud will second our eff
iorts and lead US on 10 victory.-DaiLy

THE Louisville Journal which has here
tofore been a warm supporter of Buell.,
in late article has the following:
"But unquestionahly General Buell., for
some reason, has failed to redeem promi-
ses coniid ntly made in his behalf by his
friends. The country expected him, at
the head of his mighty army, not to let
Bragg out of kentucky. There is unde
niably a very extended impression that
energy has been wanting in the pursuit
Mnrmurs are loud and deep But We
should not be hasty in condemnation
II must be aware, that 4 retreating army
il it has a little the start, possesses great
advantages over one in pursuit, for in its
progress it can sieze upon All means OF
subsistence, and break up travelling fac;l-
;ties, and, besides it can dash recklessiy
ahead, not having to guard, as an army
in It's rear must do against the perpetual
danger Of running into am5uScA4es The
ngtion demands an explanation of what
must he called Buel.'s Cailnre, and we hope
ana truss n satisfactory answer can be
given
