e Parson Brown1ow placed the ques.
tion Of the constitutiona1ity Of the Procla-
nation in tie true Light. Hc said: "Thc
rebels make their negroes an element Of
strength in this rebellion. They have
them by hundreds Of thousands at home
raising bread and meat while all the white
men are conscripted and out fighting
against the government. If Lincoln lid

in his power, which strengthens them and
enables them to carry on the war, lie roua

FORWARD MOVEMENT,

Now that the New York Herald and
National InteAigcncer have become clamor-
GUS for a forward movement Of Gen. Mc.
Clcllan's army, it may not be altogether
presumptuous for us to say that the nation
al life depends upon vigorous campaign
against the rebel army, which is now evi-
dent1y reHeating from Winchester. The
fruits Of the battle Of Antietam have been
lost, but there is still time to put in IN
overwhelming blow before the mud puts
its mortgage on the soil Of Virginia. Il

4 CASE OF DIsrIPLINE.

4 CASE OF D1SC1EAANEA
One Of the charges Of Hida!go Buep
against Gen Turchin was, that he had de-
stroyed the discipline Of the 8.h brigade.
One of the regiments Of that brigade-the
24th nlinois-the Hccker Jaegers-Tas in
the fight at Perryville. Ordered to charge
bayoncts, they rushed upon the serried col
umns Of the enemy so closely that the use
of the bayonet was impossible. In that
crisis they dubbed their muskets, and IN
stcad Of stabbing went to knocking ont
brains This was just the trick that Gen.
Tu1cbin had taught them in numberless
lessons, and they performed 1t so we'll that
the enemy fled. If the "discipline" Of
some more Of our regiments could be
destroyed" the country would hive fewer
results like that result at Per1yvil1e to
mortify its pride and lessen its confidence
in the a1lick triumph Of our arms,

We would not be over anxious to set before

port Of that battle lately published In the
TRIBUNE does us injustice, aud We think We

which so far as it applies to US, Is quite un-
true.
When by the rush Of artillery retreatfng in
wild disorder, the regiment was so badly b1o-
ken up, this company at least was reformed
Immediately BY Its own officers without other
assistance, and as circumstances admitted no
delny, was marched at once to the support Of
the regiment which was stationed Immediate

The other day, this very question was
submitted to the La Sale county regiment,
then IN Kentucky, and 846 men voted to
sustain and endorse the proclamation,
while but barely 16 voted against 1t. The
army has no doubts about the expedicncy
and constitutionality Of confiscation Of
rebel property, slaves included. And in
this opinion the great bulk Of the citizens

END0KSEMErT r OF IHE PKOCLA-
NATION,

In the States Of Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Indiana, only two-thirds Of the citizens
took part in tile recent elections. One
third being absent in the army were
deprived Of. their sufffages, More than
three hundred thousand voters we're dis
franchised. How they would hare voted
is not hard to guess, It is entirely within
the bounds Of truth to say that ESQ, 600 Of
them would have supported the Repubi~
can Union ticket The vote OF the soldiers
Of Iowa indicate how the army stands
on the great questions. When the tory
prints claim that the citizens Of those
States have condemned the proclamation:
they state what is false. Before that asser.
tion can be made good the soldiers must be
permitted to record their views at the polls.
Tic population Of Iowa is an exact coun-
tcpart Of that Of Ohio. The former sus-
tains the proclamation by a majority Of
fifteen thousand in population Of less than
one-third that Of the latter. If the soliiers
Of Ohio had enjoyed the same privilege Of
their brethren in Iowa, the Buckeye State
would have rolled up full fifty thousand
me1o11ty for the Union ticket. We're the
single Issue, disconnected from party tick
cts, presented next Tuesday to the people
OF the loyal States, soldiers as we'll as citi-
zers, whether or not the Proclamation
ahau be reversed and the old policy r..
stored, 1t il morally certain that for every

The Granada Appea-good rebel au-
thority-has read John Van Buren's late
speech in New York; and though the cdi-
tor Of that organ Of seccsh opinion is high
II complimentary to the apostate who
made it, he spits on the proposals that the
*'son Of lis dad" vcntured to put forth
Says the appeal: The plap proposed by
"Mr. Van Buren is impracticab1e. We
"can treat with the North only for uncon-
ditional separation. It is useless to en-

and semi~treasona5le harangucs, now daily
made il! the free States, have in stimulating
the hopes and quickening the exertious oi
tie enemies Of the Republic, they will
not only disappoint any expectations which
may have been raised in rebel circles, buI
