To n, Editor Of The ~ y. Tri1vne
SIR: | have j1st been travelling through the
North Western States, and Penney vania and New
York, and have converted pretty freely with their
inhabitants, and have heard but opinion con-
corning Sbermnn's amendment that tho blacks OF
loyal men employed by US should not be set free,
aud il is tina, in this war tho South has proposed
nothing 80 mean. To make men labor for our
libery,o make them imperil life for our advantage
and 10 do II as slavedryers, seems 70 be AL abyss
Of mesnness unreasonable. The idea of this
Government working slaves TO liberate itself is
utterly abhorent TO every idea Of justice and honor
If the nation goes in this way 1t will coon be
iTecoyerably Lost. There came a time when
Pharaoh only let Israel go, but said to bis dec
pissed slaves, Mores and Aaron " Bess me also"
But lie crayed his slaves blessing too late. The
one word which will bring the slave to our side is
Freedom; 10 other can how long Is lis utterance 10
be delayed BUCKEYE.

TO THE PUBLIC.

lhe undersigned, officers Of the 32d Indiana Regl-
ment after long and patient silence are at last i'll
drced in this manner to shake of the gnominy which
has been east not only upon the German population
at large, but regiment especially, and on the
person Of esteemed commander, Col. Aug. VIII
lich. IL is acknowledged that Col Which, in or
gnizng, drilling, and perfecting the 3d Indiana and
9th Ohio. bestowed upon his adopted country un-
doubled military benefits, the fruits of education
which he secured in Europe. With the purest pa
riotism. he devoted himself to the cause OF Freedom,
at the time when ii most needed tie services OF sol
der. Although poor, he has brought, by his energy
and skillfulness, regiment from Indiana into the
field which can, in discipline and frmness, DO COM
pared with any yet in service. 1t cannot be denied
that Which is one Of the abest ccers in the Wes
ern army, and his regiment, which is so much at
tackled to him, feels proud of him.
The time fortho crop Of BrigGdlers" came, and,
among Others, was mentioned the name Of Col. Will
lich The President sent in his nomination to the
Senate for confirmation about the middle Of May;
aud, although The Senate confirmed many nomlna-
tioneyes, and who have not the ability 10 lead
our brave soldiers into battles-stl Col. Willich's
nomination remains uncon!rmed. Col. Willich's
claims for promotion have been purposely neglected,
and men who had, perhaps assistance given them in
order to help political spectators to some high pecu-
mary and responsible position were promoted. These
arc tpcts which cannot be denied. Our eyes open
now, aud political foul dealings cannot throw any
more dust III our faces.
To such fayoritism as has been bestowed upon men
who are worthy able TO occupy their positions
we look upon with tho greatest indignation. and
hereby openly protest against it, We further appeal
to the people to assist us in remedying this evil

piled that it could not be done earlier,
and that that was just tho time. He
thought SLOW then; but the aotilla has
not yet moved. Again : at that time the
whole country was clamorous, for more
cavalry. He said, to small extent, for
scouting and for pursuit, the popular de-
mand was JUST; but he. added that it
would take six months to drill cavalry
regiments to stand the shock Of raging
battle and six months more at least to en-
able them to use their weapons efficiently
while controlling their horses at the same
time. A different policy, however, pre-.
vailed. We have now G0,00v, cavalry,
equipped and mounted at enormous ex-
pense-the horses of those here eat their
heads off in expences every three or four
months $4,000 condemned. ones were
sold here six weeks ago at from IS cents
to 500, but they were not bought by Ere

ing in every honorable way to decrease
the number, even into changing them
into infantry regiments:
