THE PROTECTION OF FOREIGNERS.

We have received the subjoined communication,
In respect to ''Our Condition with Foreigners
and their Exemption from Military Duty" from
ore OF our most Intelligent and respectable Ger
man citizens. As it affords information upon
subject with which comparatively few are couver-
SAINT, it merits the attention of the reader IL is
as follows:
''There thousands of foreigners who have
received exemptions from military duty, and still
remain with Us as neutral residents let US ex.
anime and see fthey have right to transact busi-
ness, buy up our markets, and look olacidy ON the
privations of the poor, and the hardships of our
soldiers without any other responsibility than that
which is purely individual and means the respon.
slblllty of accumulating money
Let us consider, for instance, the position Of the
Germans, as their number exceeds all others in
this country. There are three classes namcy
first, the Runaways; second, those who leave Ger
many OF their own free will; third the Paupers
The first class are exiles, who can never return
again, unless, of course, at the expense of their
liberty. Even should the notorious Carl Shurtz
or Frederick Hecker, dare to go home again, they
wou Id never after the rising of another sun
All these, in particular, who arrived here in 1913
have, in political way, in Germany, (as well as
America doue great mischief. They are chiefly
men of good educaion and thus been enabled to
take advantage Of the ig norant through the med
ium Of their speeches. 1t will be remembered that
Carl Shurtz, before the presidential election, in
1862 promised Lincoln 10000 German votes in
the West aud North, if he would make him Con
sui to Sardinia The bargain was agreed to, and
its fu!flment is we'll known. If men Of the same
class in the South are exiles from their native
land, and still discain any citizenship here, hore
then is their home, and what right has German
Consul to give them his protection? When Ger
man emigrant wishes permission to leave his
country of his own free will, he is compelled to
90 before court to request passport aud if he
obtains it, he loses his citizenship by pass aud
dsmiSson paper. His nane is then erased from
the roll OF citizenship, and he has nothing to
10 with his ia thcr land. Is he, then, entitled to
the protection OF u German Consul
The Il ird class, or the Paupers, Germany is al,
ways glad to ses rid of and frequently ere is
money collected by charity to get thc,n off, and
should they dare to return, in the same shuItion,
they never would be recognized again as Ge'h,ln
citizens.
would ask for information as to tho authority
of Bremen Consul to give protection to Ger
man citizen. Bremen is free city, and has
control beyond her own limits She is herself
under the protection of the Kings of Germany
There now great many Bremen merchants
scattered over the country, who act Consuls Of
Bremen, and it would be we'll Tor our yorerneut

Subsequently, in reply to General Patter-

east side of the Chickahominy, and threaten
McClellan's right wing. What rebels are
on the south side of James river is not
known, but it is feared that on one size or
the other they will erect batteries COM
handing the navigation below our position.
The very latest from McClellan-is by tel
egraph, dated at his headquarters Saturday
evening. All was quiet. The army was in
good spirits.

New York, May THE Tribune says
we have from our special correspondent de-
tails of Tuesdays battle, not heretofore re-
ported at length. The fight was very severe
and extended all along the line. We lost
many officers and men, but drove the rebels
back. II was chiefly an artillery fight, but
our men ma te several splendid and success
full charges. The enemy were desperate,
being purposely made mad with drink and
staggered up TO our guns, only to be cut
down by hundreds.
In the fight of Tuesday, Morell's division
suffered most. The I2th New York, a part
of Buuerfeld's brig de, was nearly anaihi-
lated. The 44th New York, s3l Pennsyl-
vanis, and 18th Michigan, also suffered Sc
verely- Buuerselds brigade brought OF
three stands of rebel coIors.
Among the prominent officers of Morell's
brigade who have given their lives to their
country, are :. Col. Black, of the 63d Penn
sylvauia; Col Woodbury., 4th Michigan !;
Col. Cas-, oh Massachusetts; Lieut.-Col
Swiizer, 62d Pennsylvania. Most of these
were killed on Tuesday.
Gen. Porter's corps was engaged, and did

Rockers, or the Sighting division, went to
the Peninsula ll,00o strong. Now they
number less than 5, 900 effective men,
Tho severest sufferers in the division
were the Massachusetts LIST, 18th and 10th.
Of the latter regiment about 80 were re-
ported killed or seriously wounded, among
whom were Colonel P. T. Wyman, shot
through the heart; Lieut.. Col. Meicham,
wounded; Adjt. Waldo Merrien, wound
ed. Sickles' Brigade won new laurels,
coming in as the reserve just at the right
moment They drove the rebels back with
great slaughter. The Irish brigade of Gen.
Meagher was also prominent in this action
Also the Mozart regiment.
The result of Tuesdays fight was dis
tinctly in our favor. The rebels were de-
feated in every action, and the rebel Off
GERS taken prisoners admit the loss of at
least 10000 men during the day. Our ar
tillery was successfully brought to bear
nearly all day, while the rebels did very
little execution with theirs. Our loss was
very small when compared with that of the
rebels The lighting was of desperate
character. As fast as the rebels were cut
down, other fresh troops were marched for
ward to fill their places. They appeared to
disregard the lives of their men. = s.
The troops are in fine spirits, and more
anxious to fight than ever. $50.

REoRGANIzING We are glad to see the
military spirit revived in our midst. The
transactions of the last few days across the
river, the series of great battles fought on
the Peninsula, and the possibility of foreign
intervention in our affairs, are producing
healthy action on the patriotic and vigor-
Gus young men of the Pocket district, and
a regular reorganization of our military
companies is taking place
The Evansville Rifles, Capt French, were
out last night in strong force, fully armed
and equipped. They are well drilled, and
made very formidable appearance.
If the guerrillas had any designs upon
our city, they have put it off too long. Our
guns are loaded now.
