The CrIrlenden Compromise.

The tory press is loud in its lamenta-
tions over the failure of Congress to adopt
the Crittenden Compromise, and charge all
the responsibility of its defeat (and of the
consequent appeal to arms which would
have been averted, as they assert, by the
passage of that instrument) upon the Re-
pubhcans and "radicals." ALREADY a
number of the charges against this class
have been shown to be false in spirit and
fact and Governor Andrew johnson of
Tennessee, (whom not even the tory press
can charge with being a radical, dispOses
Of this last one by showing that the COM
promise would have passed the Congress
If it had not been for six Southern Sena-
tors who refused to vote for it. Mr.. john
son himself was in favor of it. We were
not, and are not to this day, for we have
no faith in any farther compromise with
the South, but for the sake of the argu-
ment against those who make the charge
specified above, we accept theirown show
ing that this compromise would have pre-
vented the war, and then arraign them, on
Governor Johnson's testimony, Of defeat
ing this very measure. He said IN a recent
speech at Nashville, that the South really
desired no compromise, although they pre-
tended that they would be satisfied with
this. When it was up for action in the
Senate, Senator Clark offered an amend
ment, which was adopted by two votes,
thus defeating the original compromise. Six
Southern Senators stood there and refused
to record their votes against the amend
ment They wanted no compromise and
would have none, and they did all in their
power to secure the very result that the
tories now charge upon the Republicans.
So much for this charge of the compro-
misers.

The editor of the Vicksburg Wing has
lately arrived at Chicago and furnishes
the Tribune with long and exceedingly
interesting narrative of the condition Of
the South, from which we extract this
statement as to the crippled condition of
the newspapers of the rebel States:
"While the press of the South has been
mainly instrumental in producing and fos-
tering the rebellion, and its conductors
have been unremitting sin season and out
of season in the cause, yet their very
efficiency, and the success attending it,
have been n source of constant dread, and
the policy of the Confederate Government,
as shown by its repeated acts, is to do away
with this great engine of power entirely.
We're every press in the land destroyed to-
dav, the authorities at Richmond would
breathe much more freely. The conscript
act at frst took all within the prescribed
ages. This created such a tremendous up
roar that Congress was compelled to pass
an exemption act. This act exempted
printers actually employed, and thus ena-
bled the press to maintain its sway. A
IlElu GGneOLbu4H = was AANh N9laDAA9AASN1 anu
editors were uncertain in regard to
what was contraband; and whenever writ
ing on general matters, usually submitted
their manuscript to their friends for their
Judgment before publication. Major Gen
eral Van Dorm, after defining martial law
to be "the will of the Commanding Gene
raj" ordered that any editor criticising
the acts Of q commissioned officer should
be fined one thousand dollars and impris-
oned six months. While the patriotism and
loyalty of an editor might be beyond ques-
ton, yet the slightest symptoms of unbelief
in the perfection Of JEFF. & Co. subjected
him at once to the tender mercy of the
Confederate authorities. In addition TO
this the last session Of the rebel Congress
restricted the exemptions to practical prin-
ters, thus emptying the offices of editors,
reporters, clerks, SC, thereby virtually
closing them up at one sweep. On the de-
struction of the press the rebel authorities
will be able to work out their little prob
lem of titled aristocracy much more at
their ease and to their greater satisfac-
ton"

Prospects Of Another Winter Campaign.

quite unexpected way. l think that ifthis

soul will be breathed into this inert mass. a
new captain will lead it to the very gates

The Presidents Proclamation, North and

Correspondence n. Y. Times.l


new ORLEANS, Thursday, Oct p, 1862
q" l met an old planter day or two ago,
who has lost nearly one hundred negroes
by the present rebellion, who saluted me
as follows: "Halloo -, you Northern
Yankees are making a d-n sight more
noise about President Lincolns Proclama-
ton than we Southerners are" The re-
mark is most truthful, and shows in the
most painful light, that the miserable
trucking to the slave oligarchy by certain
presses and persons of the North is chron-
ic, and cannot be cured even by the hor-
rors and sacrifices which have been en-
tailed on the country by the present war.
This sudden uprising Of certain old politi-
cal elements, which thought if not dead,
were at least paralyzed, is indeed disgust
ing, and but for my thorough conviction
that the great mass Of the people are
sound, should almost despair. 1 have
yet to hear one word in the streets against
the Emancipation Proclamation from my
Southern acquaintances. They all say to
me-this is exactly what might have been
expected; and more-so utterly disorgan-
lied have the slaves become, that the in
stitution, under its old order, is forever
destroyed and worthless, no matter what
Mr.. Lincoln or any one else may say on
the subject"

following order:
HEADQUARTERS CHEAT MoUNT'N DIvIs'N |
Clarksburg, Va, Oct. 22, 1862. !
GENERAL ORDERS
"No. %. The General Commanding has
been repeatedly panied to learn that few
bad men in some of the regiments of his
command, are in the habit of abusing
beating, and otherwise maltreating the
negro and mulatto servants and teamsters
in his command. The services Of these
negroes and mulattos are necessary and
cannot be dispensedwith, without taking
soldiers from their legimate duties, which
would be an injury to the service. These
black people are generally quiet and or
derly-they were created black and cannot
help it-they have mostly been made
slaves, and robbed of the proceeds of their
own labor and could not help 1t; and have
left their traitor masters in arms against
our forces, and are desirous Of helping us
all they can; and are, therefore, entitled
to our pity and cOmmiseTation, rather
than abuse and contempt; and none but
traitors or a coward, who would strike
woman and abuse children, would wantonly
maltreat them. 1t is suspectrd that the
rebels have hired these bad men to enlist
in some of our regiments as spies, and for
the purpose of abusing and driving back
the eontrabands, that they (the rebels)
may have the benefit of the services of
their slaves, and they be deferred from
coming into our lines.
1t is therefore ordered, and hereby made
the duty of officer and soldier of this com
mand, to Immediately shoot dOlOH every sol
dier or other person, who may be causelessly
abusing, beating, or otherwise maltreating
any of the negroe or mulatto servants or
drivers in or about this command.

lIorgnn's Division.

General MOrgan's division was to go to
the Kanawha with General Cox, but a cor
respondent of the Commercial writes that
an entrance into East Tennessee cannot be
made from the Kanawha this year, and
therefore this division goes down the Ohio
to join Rosecrans. The writer says:
"The river at Gallipolis had risen three
feet, and was still on the rise. This rise
set all the steamboats, in motion, and has
come just in time to float General Morgan's
division, mostly East Tennesseeans, down
the river to another scene of action. They
are no longer needed in the Kanawha Val
ley and how cheerfully they will turn their
back on that hated country. Hurrah for
ROseerans! Go in, old boy, and make the
seceders smell powder before Christmas !:
and if you wantjust the bulliest little di-
vision in the army for an advance guard,
call on Morgan and his East Tennesseans."

Commonly we have letters from those who

you are all doing, and wish 1t was all over,
and that those who are called to suffer
may have every comfort. have just fin
ished this shirt, and hope you will be
pleased to get it., and laugh well when
YOU find this notice in the inside. l hope
you will soon be well, and able to write, if
you are. 1 shall love to hear how you are
