ea The country was warned by the
tory sheets that, ifthc president issued
his proclamation freeing the slaves Of
the rebels that ha.f the officers of the
army would resign, and half the so.,;
iers stack their arms and march bone.
Well, the president has issued his proc
samation, but the designations don't
come in. Not one officer has refused
to serve, and there.is no dissatisfaction
among the soldiers. On the contrary,
rank and file OF the army aie well pleas
ed with the step taken BY the president
and will cordially sustain and assist him
in its enforcement. Gen. Mcclellan
who has always Seen pso- slavery, gives
his adhesion 10 the proclamation as do
ali the division commanders ofthe army
with the exception, perhaps OF Porter
and Franklin and few others of that
quasi loyal stripe. The army has be-
come "abohtionlzed." Contact with the
rebels for eis hteen months has convinc-
ed the soldiers that 10 save the Uni II
slavery must be WHIPPED out; that it is
q military necessity to deprive the reb-
els Of the labor of four millions ef bond
men who supply them with their rations
and do all the hard drudgery for them.
