September eth, 1869, in camp ] miles
South of Jacinto, Miss, is another link in
the chain of evidence by which the fact
is established that the proclamation of the
President is very popular with our army.
Sergeant Orm, for q long time resident
of Fort Madison, but recently resident
of Franklin, Lee county, is by the people
of this county well known for his in
telligenee, and for uaeonpromising de-
yotion to the Democratic party-although
not an office seeker-being known as one
who never scratched his ticket in his life.
TIP to the time he entered the army he
was one of the most partizan Democrats
in the State of Iowa, not excelled in zeal,
even BY your correspondent MONROE, +"
whose letter he 30 strongly con6rma.
Here is the extract:
"Old Abe's proclamation is hailed Is
harbinger of peace in the army. His
proclamation is one Of the greatest ever
issued by man and if the rebellious
States wish to save their slaves they can
come in, if they want to lose them, lei

the Presidents Proclamation.
Well they may, for 1t is the hardes,
blow that has been struck at the rebellion
since the war commenced. 1t deprives
them of their main dependence for food
for their armies in the field and their fam
lilies at home. 1t sweeps away their en-
tire laboring population, the productive
force by which alone they are enabled to
sustain themselves at home and support
an army in the field.
1t will demoralize and diminish their

in the place of their slaves but to furnish
protection to their own households against
the slaves.

SAM mEDAnY AND HIS CRISIS.

weeks since, on Boston Common said:
Wherever, throughout the South q
Union man ventures to avow himself, the
common Jail, the scourge, sometimes the
halter, is his fate. ! know the press At
the South affects to deny the truth of Par
son Brownlow's statements. ! own, l
could not myself ut first believe that such
atrocities could have been practiced by
men protesting to be Christians, nay, by
persons in the highest civil and military
stations"
Why this mawkish disbelief" Was
it mere flourish of oratory to capture men,
or was the idea that such things were too
horribly improbable to be true? And
why not true? Are the government au-
shorities SO much better than ours that
such conduct staggered the belief of SO

The double and twisted traitor of the
Crisis asks whether the Government au-
thorities South are so much better than
our own that Edward Everett should hes
itate to believe that they inflict the pun
ishment of the common jail, the scourge
and the haltor upon men for the mere ex-
preston of al opinion on the question Of
Union or disunion. This amounts to an

Our contemporary is very bitter in his
abuse of Capt. Reid. So long as Capt.
Reid wrote for the Consultation and found
no fault with the Mahonyites. our cotem-
porary had nothing but commentator Of
his private and pnblic character. Now
all is turned to blaekness, gail and worm
wood and simply because Capt. Reds ex-
perience in the war has led him to regard
confscation and emancipation as effective
war measures and to approve them as
such, preferring the preservation Of the
Union to the preservation Of slavery.
Our contemporary dared not abuse Gen
futile for the oppression Of similar SEN
siments, and SO he basely charged that we
had published forged letter from him.
