GrN, SriGEL has asked TO be relieved OF
his command, and assigned the following
reasons for his course.
lst. Because he was placed under com
mand OF a Junior officer without the kuoNl-
edge Of the President, although the Prcsi-
dent alone has power to place Junior over
q senior.
I'd. Because his command has gradually
been reduced, first by removal from 1t of two
divisions, CoN's and Cooks, aud then Of two
brigadcs, Piatt's and Milroy's,
3d. Because none OF the regiments raised
expressly for Him except one have been as
signed TO him, nor have others been giyon
him Ia their places.
4th. Because OF grossly abusive manner
III which liaIlcck has treated him personally
and officially.
9th. Because his little command has been
placed IN an exceedingly exposed position
and ordered 10 perform tasks that arc i'm
possible for 1t, and require larger command
9th. because lac cannot procure horses n,
equppage for his artillery and cavalry. and
hence those arms Of the service are compar,
alive useless to him.
7th, Because all his requests aud roauisi
tions are neglected or refused ON account q
which his troops are discouraged, and CON
paratiyely Inefficient, aud many have not bee
paid for six months.
SIh. Because he cannot expect fair trent

MARTIN WELKER is decidedly lucky man.
If it is better to be born lucky than rich, as
the old adage goes, few men get so great q
start in the world as did Mr.. WELREn. As a
statesman he is rcckoncd somewhat inferior
TO WEBSTER, NANCY or BEaToS, and rs an or
ator he snot generally considered the equal OF
CLAY, DouGLAs or PuGn; but as lucky Office
hunter he commands heavy premium. He
was elected Common Pleas Judge by divis.
ion in the democratic party From the bench
he Jumped into the Lieutenant G Governors
chair. Then, after filling some lesser posi-
tions, he succeeded in inducing Governor DEN
NisoN to create the Office of Judge Advocate
for the State of Ohio, at a salary OF 50. 800
year. for his especial and exclusive benefit.
The only necessity cXi tir y for Judge Advo-
cate was to make fat position for Mr.. VEL.
EEn. He lie held the Office many months
without ever doing a thing but draw his pay.
and finally the Governor got ashamed of il
and abolished the Office, and LETT Mr.. WELKEp
out in the cold. His next, the present posi-
ton, is that of Assistant Adjutant Genera
which he is now comfortably enjoying at 9
huge salary. The duties Of this Office are tC
.uperintend the draft. lie fixes the quota fol
each township, and in short regulates ant
governs the whole matter of drafting. Ii
/ Pennsylvania and other States men wore al
lowed to volunteer for nine months, and on
year, while none but three year voluntce
would be accepted in this State. The resul
| is that while other states are exempt, or vcr,
nearly so, Ohio is compelled to draft som,
/ 20 900 men. Whether the nine months mel
were refused and the draft forced upon th,
State for the purpose Of making the office
Assistant Adjutant General ga good thing
is a question which pertains to tho luck of
lucky man.
Nj. WELKER now aspires to seat in Con
grcss, and lie will secure it if he gets vote
enough. GEoRGE Bliss, one among tn,
puest and most talented men in the State i
the white mans candidate against Mr.. VEL
KER and all men who think more Of the I'm
ion than they do Of the negroes will vote for
Judge BLISS. Mr.. WELKER's luck is his m 81
prominent qualification for Congress anC
his chief reliance in securing an election
This, however may fail should the peopl
be against him at the ballot-box. Let's de
feat him and SEQ what tho "littlo sneak
will be after next.

The Prcsidente Emancipation procla-
nation of the 22d Of September, 1862,
announces
That on this LIST day Of January, A. ID.
lS03, all persons held as slaves within
any State, or any designated part of any
State, the people whereof shall then be
in rebellion against the United States.
shall DO TnENcEFoRwAnD AND FOREVER
FREE" HrIr. ..f... fE...f.
The Presidents announces, in the same
proclamation, that he will, on first day
of January next, by proclamation, desig-
nate what States will then be in rebel
lion against the United States, and con-
scqucntly in what States or sections of
States the slaves will then become roREv-
ER FREE. -
The rule by which the President will
be guided in determining the area of re-
telion and OF consequent negro freedom,
he proclaims to be this /: If "any State,
or the peaple thereof, SHALL" on the first
day of January next. "be in good faith
represented in the Congress of the United
ted States by members chosen thereto at
elections wherein majority Of the quail
flied voters Of such State shall have par
ticipated," this fact "shal in the absence
Of strong countervailing testimony, be
deemed conclusive evidence that sttch
State and the people thereof have not
been in rebellion against the United
States"
The conditions are
Il The election OF members of the Fed
eraal Congress in good faith. What is
meant by the faith here spoken of, unless
it be the true Abolition faith? 1t would
seem if that be wanted, the State and tho
people are to be deemed in rebellion and
their negroes, if they have any, forever
free.
.. A majority of the qualified voters
must have participate in such election
If majority of the voters stand away
from the election, or die not vote accor-
ding to the true political faith, as laid
; down in the recognized Abolitan stand
ards, then all the peoplo-the voters and
) the -voters-those voting right and
those voting wrong-arc to be deeemd
rebels and their negroes forever free as
aforesaid.
., Iha two foregoing conditions may
be fulfilled, and yet third be wanting,
which is that there shall be no "countcr-
vailng tie stimony" against the loyalty Of
the people in any State or par: of State
where Congressional elections are held
If the President reserves to himself tho
exclusive right to judge of the sufficency
of such "countcrvailng testimony"
things may work smoother, if not better;
but ii he share. it with his present Cabi-
net or the pressure men outside; we
would not give fig for the Governmental
| recognition Of the loyalty of the peoplein
any State or district that is not thorough
Abolitionized
Let all the people hear!' According to
I President LINcoLY's proclamation of the
> 22d of September. 1862, all the white
people, loyal and di;loyal, in each State,
and part Of State, where all or any of
the above conditions are wanting, are to
be held, by the Government of the United
States, rebels and traitors, and for that
reason, their slaves of African descent will,
per force Of proclamation, be FOREVER
FREE ,Stotcsm0n.
