against every means 70 raise soldiers TO put down
the Rebellion, and against the payment Of the

" What contrast to him in all respects does
the gallant Schenck present. Schenck is man
of ability, craftsmanship, courage and patriot

Vallandigbam, on the contrary, is notorious

and cowardice. He devotes himself to the igno-

traitors. in arms against the Nation, which the
safety Of his infinitely worse than worthless life
will permit. He spavns falsehood and venom
against the noble and the patriotic, and praises
