A short time since our signal corpse were
outside of the outpost pickets on a mountain,
(known as Moant Lookout,) looking into the
enemy's camp and teleg laphing to US the pro-
ceedngs OF our friends-the rebels-when they
were surprised by squad of their Cavalry,
who charged on them, taking one Lieutenant
and three or four privates prisoners-one of
which was private of Co. K, of this regiment;
his name is John Owls. Yesterday he sent to
US for his knapsack and clothes, which we for
warded to him therefore you will perceive,
that even if We are on friendly terms with the
enemy, We are safe only within our own lines.
1t is now the chief subject of conversation in
camp, and the boys generally, are anxious to
know whether the white gloved regiment-as
we are called-will be allowed to take the lead
to Chattanooga, or be ordered back to Athens,
to Join our brigade. Should we be order
ed back, fear there will be trouble in camp,
rs the general impression is felt that we have
been held long enough in the rear, and wan,
something for a change.
! We entertain the idea, that after passing
the winter in the South, and having to wade
4 through mud and snow up to our knees, We
ought to be allowed to win name, if nothing
more, but alas, such is qtite the reverse, for SC
far, we have, instead of being allowed to take
our turn in the advance of the army, held in
check to build bridges, guard secesh property
and chase guerilla parties, still we do as or
dered, and that is doing duty in every
sense of the word. But we gratefully and sin
cerely thank the great 0mnipotent, that the
time has arrived when a more vigorous policy
is to be adopted. The play policy has beer
followed too long already, and has cost US many
} millions of dollars, with the addition of many

in consideration. The tampering with slavery
has laid waste, and deserted many homes, ant
sown broad cast the never pershable seeds o
anguish.
The papers you sent me have all come SAT,
to hand, and assure you myself and the boy
devoured their contents with the greatest o
pleasure, for they were in the first mail tina

perused them.
Our strength at this place is some $4,000 OIL

ourselves sperfectly secure from any attack

The GreRt War Meeting ia Warrington.
An immense meeting Of The people of Wash
lngton, for the encouragement Of The war, was
held on Wednesday last at the Capitol. Presi-
dent Lincoln was there and made a short speech
devoted entirely to showing that there was full
harmony between Gen. Mcclellan and Secreta-
ny Stanton, and that both were earnestly desi
rous OF the most complete success. Mr.. Chit
tenden, the Register of the Treasury, spoke of
the traitors in and around Washington, and of
the necessity of wedding them out Ex-Gov.

said if it had not been for Slavery there would
have been no traitors, and therefore he advo-
Gated absolute emancipation as tie surest hope
of safety. The resolutions advocated war for
the Union until the country be made desert
rather than submit to diSmemberment; they
state that the existing hesitation of the loyal
States arise tIom the apprehension that there
is want of readiness on the part of our mill
tary directors, whether in the Cabinet or in the
field, to employ the full power of the nation to
crush the Rebels; that it is the President g du
ty to assure the people that he is resolved to
prosecute the war on scale limited only by
the resources of the country; that all measures
to be adopted should be such as bear the most
crushingly upon the traitors ;; that the Rebel
leaders should be stripped of their possessions,
| of whatever kind, and be executed or expelled
| from the country; that rs our armies advance
all disloyalsts should be arrested or driven be-
yond the lines, and their property be taken for
the army; that the traitors infesting the Dis
trict Of Columbia should be summarily disposed
of; that the Contscation and Emancipation act
is right and proper, and it is the duty OF the
President, to the utmost of his ability, to give
prompt effect to its provisions, causing tul
notice to be given to parties to be affected; that
he who refuses to support the Administrations
and the country in this crisis is false to his OBJ
legations and, finally, that the persons as
sembled will provide for the families of all I'm
ion soldiers from the District of Columbia
These resolutions are very sharp, for Washing
ton. They mean land say in q roundabout
fashion, that The President must enforce the
Confscation act, not part oft, but the whole
emancipation of slaves as well as conhscation
of corn. The speeches, too, We're to the same
purpose, save that Of the President, who, o.
course, was not expected to say anything of his
purposes or plans. In fact, the proceedings al
together, held as they were under the Presi

MeSSrS. Editors -
1t is often asserted by some who are very
much afraid that the peculiar institution of
the South will be injured, that "you, abolition
lists, are the cause of this war!" Now without
stopping to discuss the causes of the war, will
say that it would be Just as sensible to chat ge
the venerable fathers who signed the Declare
ton of independence and resisted growing
evil as the cause of the revolutionary war 1t
is also asserted that abolitonists or republicans
are in favor of making this war an issue be
tween liberty and slavery, or that we don't
care so much about saving the Constitution or
the Union, as that slavery shall be put down.
have yet to learn that the Republicans are
not as Constitution and Union loving as any
people in this country. They are willing to
make any and every sacrifice to save this I'm
ion, and TO save the whole of it. True, we
may not like slavery quite as well as some
Northern doughiaces who have yielded to
So uthern opinion, and pandered to Southern
favor so long that the South have come to look
upon them as fast friends, ready to do any
thing for them, even to guard their property

rights.
Bat what must be done and what must be
sacrificed to put down this rebellion? Who
does not see that slavery is the pillar, the chief
corner stone of this rebellion; the very thing
upon which it lives, and from which it draws
its vital breath. If we wish to demolish an
edifice in the shortest space of time, would we
mt knock away the foundation and let it fall?
So slavery being the acknowledged foundation
of the Southern Confederacy must be knocked
away. And are we not justified in doing that
to put down this rebellion and end this terri
bic war; And must we not do it soon before
foreign nation, who would likes TO see this ma
ton torn asunder interfere, or before the
South, driven to extremity, shall arm them to
fight against US.
In this theory delays are dangerous, and if
it is not done where will the blame rest.

We presume il Is not likely the State will be

to be done beyond peradventure. We ought not
