THE RIGHT STEP.

We learn on good authority that Gen.
Nelson has ordered FIVE hundred negroes,
belonging to rebel masters to be sent to
him, for the purpose of putting them to
work for the benefit of the army. We
are not informed as to the work theyiwill
be required to do, but suppose they will
be made to aid in rebuilding the bridges
destroyed by tho rebels and to construct
Notifications. 1t might be a good plan
to fortify Murfreesboro.' General Nell
son has done exactly right in this case,
and we hope his example will be exten-
siyely followed by our officers. whydon't
our authorities here find work for few
hundred They might be usef1Ily en-
ployed, for ourselves. while at the same
time they were kept from aiding the Com
federate Government. We hope themat-
ter will be attended to promptly. Gen.
Nelson, has given strict orders, We learn.
that no loyal mans slaves shall be taken,
and the same rule would of course be OBJ
served here. This is the policy. Weakfn

AN ARMIsrICE. as
The chief business of the people of the
State of Michigan during the next thirty
days, must be recruiting. Theranks ofthe
army must be filled. Actual solid fight
ing is the only path to peace, Thepeople
see this, but they must actupon it promp-
tly, Eand in such cases as to finish the
struggle between now and the frst;of
January next.-This can be done. The
power of the North assures us of TINT
The only question is whether that power
will be used efficiently. In a word, will
the men take the field ? All other ques-
tions are subordinate to this. Abolition,
confiscation, taxation-all political ques-
tions are of no Importance until that
question is answered by an uprising of
the North, which will crush the rebellion
beyond all hopo of resurrection. The
danger of the country is too urgent to
0pmit of any division upon mere politics
today. That can and ought to be post
poned until the fall elections, and, above
all, until the last man is enrolled, whose
services are needed by the country.

How not to do it !

The Washington correspondent of the Nashville

fairs are managed in the Federal capito
The way the Government gets its work done,
is curious. As an illustration, you and your fam
lily meet in convention of the whole, and adopt a
resolution authorizing the construction of hen
coop in your back yard. You at once appoint
me superintendent of the work, putting thou
sand or two Of dollars in bank for me to check on
| get you to appoint my brother-in-law chief en-
gineer. appoint two of rny brothers assistant
| superintendents, and my brother-in-law appoints
two of his brothers assistant engineers-al at
your expense We buy us each a fast horse and
buggy, and ride around town, drink hot cocktails,
and play billiards, until the bank deposit gives
out, when we make out printed report of seven
ty-throe pages, furnishing you complete topo-
graphical survey of your back yard, and vast
amount of statistical information with regard to
the number of hens you are likely to have for the
next forty years. We wind up the report with
the announcement that the site of the hen-coop
has been selected, and call for another appro-
priation to prosecute the work, which we assure
you will be done with "vigor' You place an
other thousand or two in bank, and we employ
two hundred hands at three dollars day to trans
port seventy-fye cents worth of lumber (which
cost you under our management about ten times
that many dollars) to the place of operations,
which requires about three months In the mean
time we drive around and 60 on vigorously with
the liquor and the billiards. We then come up
with another report, and demand for another
appropriation. With this we get the walls of the
structure up, and with one or two more appro-
priations, and great many more cocktails and
billiards, we get the thing covered in, and st the
end of twelve MONTHS which we very appropriate
ly style our fiscal year." we put you in formal
possession of ten thousand dollar hen-coop, that
any negro carpenter would have been glad to
knock up some Saturday afternoon, for suit of

Though much heavy work has been done on
the road from Fort Benton to Walla Walla, yet
the road could be still farther improved by erect
ing additional bridges, cutting the road broad
through the Bitter Root range, and diminishing
the grades, particularly from Deer Lodge to Fort
Benton, should receive additional work. We do
not disparage what has been done, for the amount
and character of the work surpassed what we were
prepared to find, but we desire candidly to state
that so important line from the States to the
Pacific should be rendered first class road, and
which in time will enable persons with their fam
lilies to make the trip from the Missouri to Walla
Walla in thirty days easily and comfortably.
AS the road is in close proximity to the Eng
ish border and one which in peace or war could
be advantageously used by the English Govern
ment to connect the Canadas with its North Pa
cihc possessions, it becomes matter of national
necessity that our own Government should look
timely to its further improvement, and secure for
it every aid which its geographical location and
future importance so Justly warrants. The mill
tary complexities that are not unlikely to arise
with the English Government during our present
or future troubles would all seem to enjoiu upon
our Government the duty of bestowing early and
especial attention to this new route across the
country. We desire, therefore, to say to our
friends in the Atlantic States and elsewhere, that
if they wish to make trip for pleasure, health,
or found new homes on the waters of the Pacific,
to take passage on the steamers that leave anna
ally for Fort Benton, and there procure their out
fit to travel overland thence to Walla Walla, at
which point they again take steamers for Oregon,
California, or any point along the coast, and they
will enjoy recreation such as a sojourn at Sara
toga, Niagara or the usual points resorted to in
the east but rarely afforded
