UNION STATE TICKET.


RSE- JEFF. Davis Adiutant General pub
fishes general order directing the drafting
of every male white mulatto in the
South capable of bearing arms, whether
they have substitutes not.
We have been watching for several days
to see the effect of this order of JEFF. Davis
upon the VOORHEES, organs of this State but
they are mute. The organization of a sin
gle regiment of Blacks by Gen Hunter
threw them into paroxysms of rage, but not
whisper of condemnation do we hear from
them against the rebel leaders. Can the
people not see on which side the Law and
VOORHEES, organs have arrayed themselves2
By brides and promises of freedom, large
numbers Of mulattoes will be persuaded to
enter the rebel army, and, under good Off
GERS, will make dangerous soldiers. The
Conederacy is on its last legs, and the
g. leaders will resort the most desperate
expediens to sustain their sinking fortunes.
Already have Union soldiers been shot
down by negroes in the ranks of the rebel
army, and unless our Government takes
prompt steps to checkmate this last move
of Davi s. may expect chronicle the
loss of many other lives the hands Of
mulatto rebels.
But what Vallandipham, Voorhees,
Co., Tor the sacrifice of Union soldiers,
when their sympathies are with those en-
deavoring to destroy ihe Union?
Our officers, in many portions of the
country, have manifested the obsequious-
m "a ness of slaves in their efforts to molify the
wealthy and rebellious arstocrats of cotton
dom, and yet in no instance has their cring-
ing and fawning been productive in gaining
other than the contempt of those, with
whom they desired TO. ingratate them
selves. We copy the following paragraph
this subject from the Nashville Union.
II is very suggestive:
Our officers in many places have made
themselves particularly active as sLa0e-
eatchers for outrageous rebels; and masters
who should have been kicked out of camp
for their insulting treason, Lave walked off
IN triumph with fugitive which some
half-witted Colonel has restored to him
with bows, apologies and grimaces. No
rebel should be suffered TO retake a
fugitive slave, under any circumstances. II
nlI Inc 1elght OF folly g suher IT, 1t is fur
heads we have never yet known one in
stance where rebel made Union
man by having his fugitive restored, hnL
we do know of several cases here the |
rebel, after regaining his slave, became
more exacting, more insolent aud more de-
hant than ever. Kind Treatment only in
- creases their presumption ~
ae.s Capt. Scott, of the w. h BIZ gave us
an instance showing the folly of attempting
to conciliate the rebels. His boat was Wis
tied by man and woman, the latter acting
as spokesman for the party. She desired to
know if the Captain had any coffee on
board. He informed her that he had a little
for the use of the boat--none to SELL She
then told him she had not tasted any coffee
for six months, and entreated him to let
her have at least pound Anxious like
many others, to eoncEia:e, the Captain di-
rected the steward to bring pound of cof-
fee. Upon inquiry, the woman Informed
him that she paid two dollars pound for
the last coffee she purchased Thinking
mere was an excellent opportunity for con-
vineing these people how much better they
Jared under the I" Stars and Stripes than 4
under the disunion flag of JEFF. Davis, Capt.
Scott informed them that he would CHARGE
them only twenty five cents pound-what
they could buy IL for anywhere in the free
States. I" Ia, how eheap" exclaimed the
afs woman and fumbng in pocket she
drew forth Confederate note with which
