OUR ARMY CORRESPONDENCE.
81 BRIGADE, 9TH DIVISION,
CoRINTH MISS. july 4th. 1862.

DEAR JoURNAL,-The eighty-sixth ami
versary of American independence was to-day
celebrated by the different troops constituting
the garrison of this place, and notwithstan-
ding the past year has been fraught with
scenes of blood and carnage, it was eviden-
ced by to-day's proceedings that even time
and circumstances dampen not the ardor of
the loyal hearts engaged in the defense of
our country's cause At noon, as the nation
al salute was fired and the boom of the cannon
reverberated over hill and through valley, peal
after peal from the mouths of the enthusiast
tic soldiers made the welkin ring, echoing
back to the ear of the listener, "the Union for
ever"
At Bonneville, spirited engagement took
place on the 1st of this month, between
eight or ten regiments of rebel cavalry and
one brigade of Federal cavalry, resulting in
the complete rout of the rebels. The Cd Iowa,
Col. Hatch, participated in the action. I have
not yet heard any of the particulars. You
will doubtless hear all long before this reach
es you.
Gen. futile, of Iowa, arrived here day be-
fore yesterday, and has been assigned the
command of this brigade.
Col. Hare will now assume command of
his regiment, the 18th Iowa. The Coloners
health is quite poor, and he yet suffers great
pain and inconvenience from the effects of
his wound received in the battle of Shiloh.
1t is extremely doubtful if he ever RECEIVERS
the use of his hand so as to be able to per-
form the duties of his Office.
Lieut.. Geo. R. White, formerly of our COM
pany, arrived here to-day. He is now in the
U. S. Signal Service He leaves US to-mor-
row. He is in good health, and seems to like
his new vocation.
l would also notice the arrival of Hiram
Hanna, Jas. Allen, Isaac Small, B. R. Win
termute and Harvey Rippy. These have been
absent from the company on account of
wounds received in battle. They seem in
good health and express their satisfaction up
on their safe return.

The Abolition Huo and Cry.

AS the time for party organization az
proaches the cries Of the recognized" fac
ton become louder and louder. Every man
who supports the Administration in. its none
too vigorous measures for the crushing of the
rebellion is denounced as a vile Abolitionist,
far more despicable than Che rebels themselves.
The leaders of the opposing party miss no
opportunity to bloviate over the great, unter-
riied Democracy, ant the representative of a
Democratic paper, while making few re-
marks at the celebration in this city, must
needs insult tie day we celebrate by Juggling
in his vain nonsense about his party saving
the Unior..
We rnust confess that it is q little singu-
lar to. us that while every abuse is heaped
uP,n the Republicans, those unf1edged aspi-
r ants for political honors have nothing to
say against the rebels who are now trying to
break up our government. We cannot see
why man who upholds vigorous prosecu-
ton of the war should be stigmatized as a
traitor while the man who is in arms against
his country is passed over in silence. 1t can
not be that these traducers are secessionists
at heart, for the breaking up of the govern
ment would be death blow to every hope
they may have entertained as far as politica
advancement is concerned.
There is only one explanation then lef
which will be at all likely to afford us solu
ton of the riddle. That is the hope of gain
ing the affections Of the South by hypocrit
cal profession of regard and thereby again
securing their party place in the govern
ment. That they will be disappointed in thi
their pet calculation we have every reason t.
believe. The people are not quite so unso
phisticated as to be gulled by loud denun
Citations of the party in power, and the sill.
cry that the Constitution is in danger. They
are aware ofthe fact that what might be un
constitutional at q time when peace and har
mony reigned supreme, would be perfectly lie
gal in time of war. Rights and immunl
ties are granted to person who is law abb
ding and behaves himself that are denied tn
public criminal, and States as individuals los
certain liberties when they set themselves VI
lagainst Established laws.

He further states that he is not opposed to

lin favor of the restoration of the Union as it
was, with this qualification: 1t shall be

shall not only be entitled to have but actually

Any one who reads secession Democratic
paper, or negotiating, pro-slavery sheet of
any kind, is familiar with the expressions
used by them against everything looking
towards the emancipation ofthe negro. Their
constant cry is, .''The North will be flooded
with free negroes" "they will compete with
and starve out the white laborer; "they will
swarm all over the country" and much other
clap-trap of similar character. Facts, how
ever, like the following, endorsed by the
Washington Star, paper that did its utmost
to prevent the passage of the emancipation
act in the District of Columbia, are suffi-
Gent answer to the silly clamor of political
mountebanks who attempt to procure party
success by fostering the prejudice against the
negro:
eff the statistics of the negro population
in the New England States prove anything,
they prove that emancipation banishes from
the State as well the colored free as slave pop
ulation. The statistics of population of Penn
sylvania more conclusively prove this to be
the case. With an area of more than -four
times that of Maryland, the two States Dor
dering on each other, the latter has a free ne
gro population of upwards of $4,000 more
than the former. Facts are stubborn things
and one is worth world of theory AND
what do the figures prove? Why, that the
free States are not only rid of slaves, but in 9
great measure. of free negroes also; while or
the other hand, the slave States are not only
stocked with slaves, but are abundantly sup
piled with free negroes also. The reason i:
obvious The slave States are under mo
nopoly of the masters, who constantly dis
criminate. against white laborers, showing
them out of their employ, and by thus exclu
ding white men the owner of slaves, creates
purposely, negro social system that attaches
odium to. manual labor, which repels the la
boring white man, and attracts the free negr'
to it. Hence you find free negroes bu
sparsely scattered through the northern, Will
they abound in the slave States"

Iowa and the New Call.

As the absence of Gov. Kirkwood's name
from the recommendation to the President
to call for additional troops may occasion
some surprise, it may not be out of place to
state that the Geographic dispatch asking au-
thority to attach his name to the call was sent
to Burlington by mistake, and from there it
was sent in such a roundabout way that it
did not reach the Governor for fonr days-too
late to have his name appear. Gov. Kirkwood
endorses the call, and Iowa will furnish her
quota of the new levy of troops.
The number of regiments that Iowa will
be called upon to furnish, with time, can be
raised without drafting, but if great necessi-
ty exists for their immediate use, we are in
clined to think that drafting will have to be
resorted to. -Ios0a City Republican, 9th
