The war department, in answer to an in
curry from the Governor, teiegraphs that the
department will receive volunteers for old reg

war department embodying this permission
says it is designed to receive volunteers 10

after they are filled will be credited to
the State as SO much on the draft and if
enough volunteer to fill up the old regiments,
that might perhaps dispense with the draft.
To fill up the old regiments TO their full max
imum number will require at least "a, 900. If
this number should volunteer In the State be-
fore the draft is made, there would be no draft.

Defendant was not charged with any military

Gen. SHERMAS gave the following reply
"If the above be true, that the prisoner is not

THE REVOLUTIONARY PATRIOTS.

THE REVOLUTIONARY PATRIOTS.
Some infatuated and shallow-brained men
have insisted that there is parallel between
the instruction of the South and their des-
perate efforts to overthrow the Federal Union
and the glorious work of our fathers during
the American Revolution. We have always
failed TO see any such parallel, but whenever
we have turned our mind to the comparison,
we have perceived most striking contrast.
The British Constitution said, No Taxa
ton without Representation" The Thirteen
Colonies stood upon that Constitution. They
asked for no change. They protested as good
loyal citizens again and again that it was good
enough for them without the alteration Of
single line. BURKE and PITT, and Fox, and
the leading statesmen OF England, believed
that the tory faction, prominent in Psrlia-
ment, was wrong in seeking to regolutionize
the government by manifest violation Of the
Constitution, and their names azd influence
and sheerirg words encouraged WASHINGTON,
ami ADAMS, and HAMILTON and JEFFERSON,
and jar, and many thousand Other heroes
of kindred mould TO pledge their lives,
their fortunes and their sacred honors, in sup
port of the Declaration Of Independence"
Our fathers we're many of them men of
faith and prayer. They were men of honesty,
and they had the fear of God before them.
They loved their country most wisely and well.
BENEDICT ARNOLD was the only exception, and
his name is linksd with infamy. His courage
and daring at the battle of Saratoga, his bril-
liant exploits in Canada are nothing, and
amount to nothing so long as he flls traitors
grave. Through contest of varying fortunes
protracted more than seven years, by holy
baptism of blood, Jehovah brought us and
crowned US in the beautiful language Of
poetry:
The child Of the skies and the queen Of the world.
The verdict Of poetry has been confirmed
by the voice of history.
Where then is the analogy, or where the par.
allelf Was 6en. GEO. WAsHINaroE, the father
of his country, ever guilty of perjury After
he had taken the oath to sustain the Constitu.
ton of the United States, was he so lost to al
moral obligations as to violate the solemnities
of that oath and TO trample the Constitution
and the flag of his country under his feet
Did HAMILTON, or JEFFERSON, or ADAMS, OF
JAY, or any of that noble generation of pa
triots, thus far initiate the treason Of BRNE
DICT ARNoLD1 Public rumor charged tt,
crime upon AARON BURR, and all the eulo
gums of the admirers of his intellect hav'
been insufficient to whiten his memory.
JEFF. DAVIS, and MASON, and SLIDELL, anl
YANoEY, and YULEE, and LETcHHR, anC
STEVENS, and other traitors, whose hearts ar
full of cruelty and murder, commenced theil
career by perjury. They had solemnly sworr
TO sustain the Constitution OF the United
States, and before high heaven they stand con
victed as perjured men. Is there any parable
