Letter From Col. Forner.

WAsmscros. May 22--Howcrer the
fate of Richmond is decided whether By
battle or evacuation, every transaction and
experience Of the past few months, has
shown that it is utterly impossible to crush
the rebellion by half way measures. The
conservative policy which has been &C.
cepted By some of the Republicans. and
which has shown itself in successful re-
stance to oil legislation that seemed to be
severe and thorough, is now proved 10 bo
the unsafe policy. The rebels themselves
mistake our moderation for cowardice, and
answer every new concession by new blows
Having conscientiously believed that the
best way to treat the rebellion was to ex.
hibit to them the magnanimity of the Gov
ernment. simultaneous with its power.
am now convinced that the only way TO
check the leaders is to prove that Repub-
lie which has been so ready to bear and
forbear, can also strike with terrible force
and effect. Every recent item from the
rebel army exposes the fact that there is .
deep hatred among the ruling classes of
the South against the Government and its
loyal supporters. which cannot be concilia.
ted Insults TO our soldiers from their
women are followed by violations Of flags
Of truce. outrages upon our dead. and 9TH
er nameless and shameless atrocities. The
following produced by these unnatural
and savage proceedings, is no less bitter
among the loyal men South than it is
among the people Of the free States. In
deed, the former are, possible, more anx-
ious for strong and searching con6sca-
ton bill than the latter The Union mas
ses of the free States cannot understand
why they should be called upon to such
great losses of blood and treasure, while
their enemies are permitted to 60 on in
their career of crime; their property IN
touched and, as yet, safe from the effect OF
stringent legislation.
The Union men Of the South, who have
been hunted and slaughtered, all their per-
sonal goods taken from them, and their
homes made desolate, are also unable to
understand why their enemies are not
promptly punished. This is a qestion
that transcends the issue OF Slavery. and
is felt by thousands who have differed on
that issue. When those who are forced TO
fight in the rebel army realize that the
Federal Congress is in earnest, and that
their oppressors and chiefs are to be pun
ished with inexorable certainty, they will
save themselves by refusing to follow such
leaders. 1t is to be hoped that our friends
in both Houses of the National Legisla-
ture will no longer be divided. but will
come together at once, and crafty the peo-
pie who are expecting decided and COM
! prehensive action at their hands. Patriots.
like Holt, of Kentucky, Polk, johnson
and Brownlow of Tennessee urgently de-
mand thau the most decisive meas
ures against the rebels should be a
dopted. The servants of the people should
lake heed of these emphatic and significant
warnings.

HavOnet Charges.

The New York Post. in brief disserta-
tion on the use of the bayonet in battle.
says that after the battle of Waterloo the
Surgeon General of the British forces
could find in all the hospitals to which the
wounded of all the nations engaged. En-
glish, Prussian and French, had been ia
ken, but sepen men who had received their
hurts from the bayonet. 1t then adds
some very interesting statements in regard
to the opinions of military men Of the
bayonet:
In practice. military writers confess
that bayonets are very rarely actually
crossed. A charge usually takes one Of
three turns: either the charging party. By
its firmness and impetuosity, throws the
opposing force into panic, and it breaks
ranks and flies without awaiting a thrust
of the bayonet; OF by firmness and q well
delivered volley at short distance, the side
which is attacked drives off the other, or,
in the fewest cases, both sides behave well.
and then, in the words of one Of our most
experienced generals. "the best sergeant
decides the fate of the charge, because
only the sergeant and one or two men at
the end Of the line which first comes in
contact with the enemy's line are really en-
gagged during the few deceive moments.
and thus the conduct, individual bravery
and strength of perhaps half o dozen men.
who alone cross bayonets with the enemy,
gain the victory for the side to which they
belong.
The mere appearance of an impetuous
and determined bayonet charge is generally
counted upon as decisive by commanders.
The troops charged upon are almost sure
to seek shelter from the dreadful sight, IS
the rebels did at Williamsburg. at Pea
Ridge, ct Fort Donelson. and at the gal
liant little affair Of South Mills, near
Elizabeth City. which is less known than
it deserves to be. "What do yen sup
pose we keep our bayonets bright for. but
to scare the enemy?" q distinguished Cen
eral said to one who was inquiring into
the nature of bayonet charge; and q Mar
shal Of France wrote: 'It is not the num-
Der of killed, but the number of frightened.
that decides the issue of battle"
Do whole regiments. then, never cross
bayonets, il will be asked? 1t would be
rash to say never; but II may be safely as
serted that military histories record few
such affairs. Jomini says distinctly that
he saw bayonet fight but once in all his
military experience; and it is related by
one of the historians Of Nopoleon's wars.
that when the French were once charging
the Prussians with the bsyonet, when the
latter would not, OF could not, retreat.
there eusued . spectacle unexpected By the
officers on either side. The French and
Prussian soldiers. when they got within
striking distance. apparently by mutual
consent. clubbed their muslets. and fought
desperately with their arms thus revers-
ed. .;.s

with our armies. and we can afford to gar

Mobile. and other necessary strategic
points, during the summer months, leav-

med in this narrow circle, will have stung
itself to death.

m The troubles Of Mexico seem to have no
end. Gen. Almonte is in armed revolt
against the Government. and Gen. Mar
quez has joined him. Their revolt is ap-
parently upheld by the French Comman-
der. They hold Orizaba, Cordova. and
other places. zaragoga, commanding the
Govefnmen} forces, had fought MARQUEE
before his junction with Almonte. and de-
feated him. 1t is reported, however, that
the revolutionists have q strong party in
the city Of Mexico, and the whole French
force was expected there on the 18th inst.
In Vera Cruz the French manage every
thing as they choose, and have deputedth
administration Of the city government to
Almonte:s adherents. The Governor of
the city, Manuel Serrano. claims to have
been appointed s'by his Excellency, the
Provisional President of the Republic, .
Gen. Don Juan N. Almonte. Mr.. Cor

ernment to lend Juarcz S11, ,000. 900 to

Black Regiments.

Letters from the army report that two
negro regiments are in the rebel army at
or near Richmond. and are used for cut
ting down and disposing Of Union strsg-
glers. Of course the vallandigham DEM
ocrats and the CONSERVATIVES" see moth
ing wrong in training the black man to
cut of our troops, but let the proposition
be made for negro regiment in the
Union service. and they start back in hor-
ror at the idea. Slaves may build forts
and carry muskets for "our Southern breth-
rcn," but they must not be allowed in the
Union army. They may shoot down our
soldiers under the fear of their masters
lash. but don't let them handle gun in
the Union cause. They may escape
through incredible hardships to give i'm
portant information to onr Generals. but
don't let them; be harbored in our lines
In short. they, may be the most faithful al
lies that the Union army can find. or de-

ed, that in accordance with orders from
from Gen. Loan, the Union men of Holt
County, on Wednesday night. proceeded
to disarm all Secessionists. Those who
refused to bring forth their arms. upon de-
mand, were hustled of to jail /: and il
is said that the Jail was about full. We
are told that to-day all servicesble hos.
ses are to be taken from traitors. We
sincerely hope this is true. It is . nee
essary move, for the traitors all over the

was pursued in al the Counties. But we
are inclined to think that hanging and
shooting must be the only alternative. at
last.
