resources of loyal border states against us.
In Kentucky, for example, add such fuel to
the smouldering rebel fires there that they
shall consume in day whatever of loyal
sentiment remains in the heart of that great
and powerful state.
Gentlemen about us are riding hobby too
hard just now; risking too much upon the
peradventure that slaves might in vast num-
bers, and soon enough, be gathered by procla-
nation within the federal lines. If they
should be all might be well; if they should
not, what would the government have to meet
the case? Certainly this is a question OF
prudence.
What then is to be done? Have the pro-
clamation by all means issued if possible, and
as soon as possible; let the president be
urged, conjured to issue it, but let there be
at the same time, to meet the crisis, a million
of men; then may the day of freedom dawn
for the bondman, the national honor be vindi-
Gated, and the government re-established A
levy of men then and the proclamation are
what the nation wants and no1C.
And let us all, fellow citizens, who can,
even in these hot days and nights of August,
think and write, speak and work, with coats
off and sleeves up, for the accomplishment
and the most speedy accomplishment of these
obiects-for the salvation of the country
which is at stake. OBSERVER.

Mr.. Editor At the meeting at Mechanics
Hall, Friday night last, strong resolutions, and
very good, were offered and were backed by
strong and some very strong and good
speeches; but neither the resolutions (consid-
cred together) nor the speeches went far
enough. They advocated mainly an emanci-
patton proclamation by president Lincoln.
Well, go for it, heart, soul and body. and
believe that now to effect it there is A glorious
opportunity, such as will probably never he
again; that for it the tide is inst nj the aood
high tide, as it is high time that if the on
portunity be seized upon, and yiqhtlv it NAV
result in incalculable gain and good to
the nation, move the hearts and excite tbe
admiration Of the world, and cause exulting
thanks to ascend to the Maker and Redeemer
of men, And believe, contrary to the opin-
ions of some whom | respect, that a procla-
nation of emancipation might ere long be
greatly effective, if with it the order were to
go forth that it should be- by all the naval and
military forces, proclaimed on all the gulf and
Atlantic coasts of the rebel states, and at ev.
cry interior post and station of those states
commanded by federal troops-wherever, in
or around such states, it might reach the ear
of a slave.
But let not gentlemen deceive themselves
with the idea that this is going to be done
If not authorized and sustained by more than

BORDER STATE DISLoYALTY.-Som of the
halt-loyalists who have represented border
state constituencies in the present congress
are roughly handled by those they have de-
ceived. John S, Carlisle, the Virginia senator
who recently figured at the convention of the
Bright democracy Of Indiana, and who signed
the majority reply of the border state con-
gressmen to President Lincoln, is thus spoken
of by the Wheeling (Va.) Intelligencer =
Who would ever have supposed fifteen
months ago that John S. Carlisle would to-day
be joined hand in hand with the secessionists
IN the work Of destroying the confidence of
the people in the government. Who ever
expected then to see him meeting in secret
night caucus with c. l.. Yallandioham. d.
W. Voorhees,, and other such disloyalists. 1t
was predicted hundred times to us that such
would be the upshot of his course by those
who protested to know the man intimately
In sorrow and disappointment we now ac-
knowledge our delusion. He has cruelty de-
ceived us all. In this dark hour of our
nations trial he is not with us. = We
call upon our exchanges, and upon the oIal
people Of the loyal states everywhere, to note
the tact that John S. Carlisle, in the language
"a oSh"'Ol W MY, llllSTepTeSeltS three
fourths Of his constituents" of them in
fact that are loyal; also to note the fact that
in public meetings the loyal people are repu-
dating him; that the county mass meeting in
this city on Saturday last passed resolution
commencing senator Wiley, but said not
word about John S. Carlisle.
The Union men of Taylor county, Virgin
ia, at meeting to encourage enlistments, on
the 22d ult., expressed their hostility to Mr.
Carlisle's conduct as follows, and requested
him to resign:
Resolved, that the course in congress of
our senator, John S. Carlisle, in voting with
| secessionists and secession sympathizers, in
| all or large number of his votes, and also
in opposing and voting against the admission
Of the new state, has neither met our wishes
nor reflected our sentiments, and we hereby
request him to resign position which he has
shown himself unworthy to fill.

Observation-Disclosures nIilitin.


1t Is stated unoficially that the president
mas authorized general system of drafting in
some OF the middle and western states. We
hope 1t is true. If the authority were extend
ed to ALL the loyal governors with a liberal
discretion, it would be still better. and we
have no doubt would be gratefully accepted
by the public generally. In the New England
states and some others the recruiting Is, to be
sure, making healthy progress. The requisi-
ton will be flled-in time. There is no
want of right feeling on the subject The
voluntary system is of necessity slow, and the
fact, which it is folly to question, reflects no
discredit on any particular individuals or
classes in the community.
But the government cannot well afford to
wait. Its wants are instantaneous. Sound
craftsmanship would require that the means
should be adapted to the exigency. There is,
oi course, merit in all the systems of recruit
ing which have been tried since the war no.

BRIG. GEN. TURcHN.-It will be remem-
bered that Col. Turchin of Tennessee, who
fell under Gen. Buells displeasure as it now
appears without just cause, was promoted to a
rigadier-generalship of volunteers before the
adjournment of congress. 1t is stated that as
soon as Col. Turchin was arrested, his wife.
who had shared the fortunes of her husband
from the commencement, quietly started for
Washington. She was joined on the way by
a delegation of influential friends, whose SYM
pathies she had enlisted in mis- behalf and
whose influence secured the early confrma-
ton of the presidents appointment. The fol-
lowing dispatch from Mrs. Turchin. was the
first news received in Gen. BuelTs department
of the colonePs promotion =
WASHINGTON, d. c., July %.
Brig General Turchin, how is your health?

This, Of course released Col. Turchin from
the charges preferred against him, and the
dispatch created an amusing sensation among
the members of the court martial as it was
passed round among them.
