GEN, HALLEcK's OPINION OF THE p.
charlottesville Washington correspondent
of the New York Tribune makes the following
statement, claiming to be authentic. of General
Halleck's views about the proc .amation
+" We are permitted to st ate, upon the au-
thority of gentlemen hold ing intimate personal
relations with Gen. + 1alleck, precisely what
position he takes If. conversation, with respect
to the principle of the Presidents proclama-
ton. Gen. d. holds that the controlling mill
tary neee sssity that we should deprive the enc
my o. the labor by which his armies are sub
sisted, is clear and unqualified that indeed it
is wholly impossible to subdue the rebellion
while such an army of laborers as the slaves of
the south continue to produce supplies for the
fighting army in the field. Of the three mil
lions and half of slaves, Gen. Halleck com
putes that at least two millions are to-day
practically employed in the work of the rebel
lion, whose effective strength is greatly In
creased by the superior productlveness OF the
southern climate and soil, so greatly that, as is
proved by statistics, the labor of a girl not
more than sixteen years of age in the South,
produces thirty per cent. more than that of a
thorough field hand in the North. Taking
these facts into consideration, Gen. Halleck
SAYS that, in military aspect, he has had nc
doubt on the question since the rebellion as
sumed its present formidable proportions, and
has never wavered from the belief, that If We
would conquer the South, its black labor mus
Il be- taken from with the question what tt
"a do with the negroes whom the war will leave
upon our hands, Gen. Halleck conceives that
8 as general in-chief, he has no right to an opn
: ion, it being matter for the consideration o
n the civil authorities but he regards it as {
!, problem which deserves the most serious study
= of the best minds of the country. While dis
/ cussing this branch of the subject, Gen. Hal
!. leck is accustomed to advert to the fact tina
Gen. Butler is now issuing three rations, anc
will probably soon be called upon, if arrange
ments now contemplated are carried into effect
to issue ten rations to the negroes for every on
. to his soldiers. Is the North, asks the gen
= eral, to feed forever the whole negro popula
y ton, or is the thing sometime to end, and if sc
! when and how? In speaking Of General Nc
Fl Clellan's Order, No, l63, General Halleck oh

The Ninth Regiment.
CHAcAco, DC

OHACAGO, OCt. iSt, IooA.
EDITOR CHICAGO TRIBUNE: | feel it
duty to emphatically contradict statement in
your issue of yesterday, respecting the Ninth
regiment. As | was in command OF the de-
tachment of the Ninth referred to- know the
facts in the case. They never refused to obey
any order of Colonel Tucker, for the simple
reason he never gave them any order, as all the
orders to them were given by myself, or Colo
mel Stannard, our commander, who came to the
ground at the latter stage of the proceedings.
The groaning did not proceed from single
member of the Vermont Ninth but from mem
| bers of other regiments, who were ordered to
their quarters by Colonel Tucker, at my re-
| quest, to prevent their interfering with my
command Colonel Tucker never ordered the
Ninety third Illinois, or any other troops, to
charge upon the Ninth Vermont, and there
| was no such proceeding. The Vermont Ninth
| took their guns at the command of their Col
| onel, Geo. }. Stannard, without any force OF
authority, which IS significant Of the character
of the commander, and Of the men under bis
command. Hoping in this instance, at least
the saying of Jefferson may be ialsi6ed, " thai
a lie will go seven leagues while truth is pull
ing on his boots" / remain, .-o

GEORGE f., TRAIN.--We gave our readers
Brief account, a day or two since, OF the at
tempt of George Francis Train to make HIM
self conspicuous and ridiculous Tin which he
succeeded) in meeting at Faneull Hall,
called by the political friends of Charles Sum
ner, and the consequent arrest of Train. Free
speech is right in principle, but like every
thing else has its properties and courtesies,
one of which is, that in meeting gotten UP
by anti slavery men, a pro slavery individual
unless specially invited, is hardly expected te
take prominent part, and uice versa.
From the police station Mr.. Train issued I
manifesto in which he made the following
statements, which must have been slightly col
ored by his excitement.
siRespecting the law, gave myself up, ant
although in charge of two policemen, the mis-

A MODEL CORRECTION" - The Wash
ington Republican of yesterday has this neat
correction of certain misstatements:
ave clip the following from the Sunday
Morning Chronicle of the 9Th instant:
al S. B. Todd, who has been elected dele
gate in Congress from the new territory of Da-
cotah, is brother of Mrs. Lincoln, and a
graduate of West Point in 1887. He resigned
his position in the army a few. years ago, and
took up residence in Dacotah, from which
territory he was appointed brigadier general
of volunteers on the 10Th Of September, 1861
He has been most of the time, and we, believe
is now, in command in Northern Missouri"
! II would be hard to find more blunders in 9
single paragraph than is contained in this.
l. Mr.. Todd has not been elected delegate
from Dacotah, but was badly beaten by Gov.
ernor Jayne. 3'' ''1a -.
g. He is not brother of Mrs. Lincoln.
