respecting the war, but refuse to give any infor-
nation respecting the strength Of Gen. Johnston s

the South will continue to fight to the last; that
their reverses have not disheartened them. They

Not honest enough to acknowledge the corn
and admit that the soldiers ar, either al.
most all Union Republicans, or else that they
almost to man repudate Mahony democ.
racy, it parades the most silly reasons for
the extraordinary Reputation of the soldiers.
They were advised BY officers to vote MS they
pleased and not to electioneer;. there were
plenty of republican tickets but nary demo-
cratic, and so on. This was truly reprehen.
slble conduct on the part of the officers. and
the commissioners were scalv set for not
going to the expense and trouble, of getting
democratic ti.kets printed, taking them down
to Dixie, and peddling them out among the
regiments. Too mean to 90 to the EXPENSE
OF printing tickets and sending them either
bv the Commissioners, by mail or by ex-
press, all of which modes of conveyance were
open to:then, they raise hue and cry about
the commissioners, as high minded and hon.
orable set OF men, SO far MS we know them
as can be found in the country, and as inca
pable of a dishonorabe act. No. The sol
diers voted just as they pleased, and it
pleased them to vote with their friends ut

cation of rebel property, and the emancipa-
