OF the people. As an army neither its rank and
file, nor its officers, have any civil functions what
ever. 1t is only the instrument employed for the
time being to carry out the will, and execute the
purpose of the government Its highest function
Is TO obey the orders Of its superorS, who, in our
government are the people, acting not through
Generals, but through the President and Con-
gress. Yet we hear that there are men in the
army, who would not assist in executing gener-
al emancipation law, if such one should be
passed by Congress, and we know newspapers
that have counseled some Of the Generals to in
Sst, before they allowed their armies to advance
That he"policy" Of the government should be es-
taoIlshed to please them. It is quite certain that
such spirit Of characterization, or despotc die
tatlon, as this would indicate, if prevalent in the
army would be at once dangerous to our liber-
ties. We are glad to know that it is not general,
and that our soldiers have no purpose, however
much they may be urged to do SO, to turn their
arms against the life Of the nation.
Yet We should all be admonished b these
symptoms Of the danger to free Institutions in a
long war and an immense military establishment
and the people and the army, in order to steer en-
trely clear Of these dangers should be often re
Tered to the fundamental principles upon which
our government rests. The power ], lodged with
the people, and by the constitution and laws Of
the land the civil officers are the first and high
est IN the Republic. They may err, the Presi.
dent and Congress may make mistakes, and grave
ones but the remedy is not for he army forcibIy,
or by intimidation or threats to attempt to set
them right That is department in which the
military has no business, except as voters, or
takers, or writers, any more than civilian would
have right, Of bis own mere notion, to give them
orders on the field of battle Then let us keep in
mind that our civil rulers are the only ones we
have, and that our military chieftains are their SER
wants, as we'll as ours. Let the army be kept at
It's proper business, which i, fighting traitors and
executing the laws il carrying the fla again over
the insurgent States. Let US not try to ut our
Generals above our President, or above Congress,
nor look to them for policy for the war What
we ask, and what we expect in them is skill in
war, and let US not be misled by any camor into
asking or expecting anything else Of them
We, perhaps, have got war of several years
on our hands, and it is only by keeping these OBJ
Sious distinctions between the civil power, and the
military arm Of the Government, continually in
mind, that We shall be certain to escape the evils
that may otherws come from such an immense
army as we shall have 10 the field until treason is
suppressed.

waiting for response. They are not skiing them
in anger, but rather in amazement and sorrow.
They have given without stint, and they will yet
give as readily, if not as cheerfully as before, but
they want to know why it is that their lives, their
blood, and their treasure are demanded without
limit, and the material interests OF the South, and
Slavery, which is the strength Of treason, are so
carefully and persstently spared
1t does indeed seem strange that the lessons of
the last eighteen months, which have taught the
people so much, have apparently taught the Gov
eminent so little. The Administration has debated
the matter of emancipation with the Border States
has discussed it in official papers, has limited at
possibilities concerning ii in diplomatic correspon-
dence, has written Of it in letters to newspaper
editors, and yet in action is apparently to-day just
where it at the start, except SO far as its con
duct has been modified by the enactments of the
last session of Congress. And yet whatever may
have been our opinions at the outset it is now
known that slavery has been not only the cause Of
the rebellion, but that four millions Of slaves have
been the chief ally and support of treason thus
far in the war Without this aid beon would
long ago have been starved. With it, it has been
able to put in the Geld nearly all the able bodied
whites in the Gulf States without in any degree
deranging the agricultural and industrial pursuits
OF the South Through this advantage it has made
such formidable resistance to Fedora authority,
that it has called FORTH and is now ealing FORTH the
most wonderful sacrifices ever vet volunteered by
any people, for its suppression. Yet the end is not
reached and 10 prophet can tell how far in the
future lies the goal. When shall we have need,
if not now to strike at this support Of treason
such blows as will most assuredly be more fatal
to rebellion than ary that we have dealt the mon
ster ? We shall thus have the assurance that we
are right, absolutely, in the light Of eternal justice,
and right in the spirit and letter Of the famous
Declaration by which we announced our own free
dom. And we shall have also the soace of feel
ing that the property rights Of three hundred
thousand traitors are not held in more esteem, or
outweigh in the balance the blood of a million VI
northern freemen, or the treasure and the afec-
tons of twenty millions Of the loyal children Of
the Republic

The Sphere of the Military Arm of the Gov
eminent

1t is hardly strange, in the magnitude and ab-
sorbng interest of the war for suppressing treA
son, and in the novelty Of raising, supporting,
and sending out against the enemy an immense
army from every rank, occupation aud party in
the country, that there should be on all sides
disposition to have an opinion upon, and to inter
fere with, the management Of the war and the
conduct of the government. Our government is
democratic, and the people, whether in the army
or out of it, do not seem disposed to yield their
privilege Of critcising whatever in public affairs
they dislike, and praising whatever peaSes them.
We are satisfied that this freedom of opinion and
Of speech is even more necessary now to the pres
ervation Of our liberties than it has been at any
former period of our history. But it must be
kept iu its proper limits, and use only the means
which it may Iegitimately employ to reach its
ends.
A standing army has always been regarded as
a dangerous enemy to the liberties of the people.
1t has proved itself often tyrant, or the agent
of some tyIant, for the simple reason that it is
powerful and is tempted to show its strength.
Ambitious and popular men have sometimes
turned armies that were raised to defend the lib
critics of their country, into instruments to subvert
those liberties, partly because the armies needed
employment, partly because they were discon-
tented, and partly because they liked strong
government, which was to be upheld by their own
bayonets
1t is hardly possible, however to suppose that
any lapse of time would convert our army of in-
telligent American reemen into any such allies of
despotism. let.there is just now some discus.
sons in the newspapers ooo,sioned by an appre-
henson, not so much that such result is possible,
as that there are designing men who would be
glad to use our army, or create an army that
might be used, for that purpose. 1t is but a
little while since proposition to raise an army of
$4,000 men for Gen. Fremont was severely CON
demned by the newspapers which were never sus-
pected of having any Partially for Fremont, as
an enterprise fraught with great danger to the
Government At the same time quite another
class Of papers have seen with some alarm, evil
denceS that there were men in the country who
called themselves loyal, and who claimed, to have
some knowledge of our soldiers, who were sub
stantiaIy advocating a course OF procedure on the
part Of some OF our Generals which would prac.
tlcally put the military above the civil power and
leave the nation at the mercy of the chieitain that
CHANGED for the moment to be the most popular.
We can hardly believe that there is, at present,
any real danger to occasion these apprehensions.
At the same time the people,-and by the people
We mean the army, as well as those at home,-
cannot be too watohful, nor guard too carefully
against the first inroads OF those who would EN-.
ploy the dmy out of its Legitimate sphere The
army is not the government, nor any part OF il,
kept as !, is numerical, and actually portion

The Vernon Ninth and the Surrender Of
HRrper's Ferry.

From long litter in the New York Times,
giving full history Of the Harpers Ferry affair,
we learn that the Vermont Ninth were first en-.
gagged in the fight on Sunday, being then de-
ployed as skrmisher. About dusk Of that day
the enemy in 'front.' opened musketry FIRE on our
left, which was replied % by the 32nd Ohio, 9th
Vermont and ld Maryland. 1t continued some
time, when our iorces were obliged to contract
their lines, the rebels having turned our left flank
The men slept On Their arms. During the night
the l25th New York fell back to a ravne running
at right angles with our line of defence, and the
9Th Vermont changed position, so as to support
Rigby's Battery Under cover of the night the
enemy planted new batteries in every direction.
10 the morning the rebels opened on our posi-.
tons, which was replied to by our batteries until
Their ammunition gave out A council OF war
was then called and it was decided to surrender.
The terms Of surrender were that the officers
were to be allowed TO 90 out with their side arms
and private ehty, the rank and file with every
thing save arm, md equipments
4 mpmw q Misrepresentation ran along the
lcholc hne lrhm became kaooa that zee had sur.
rendered Capt McGrth burst into tears, ex-
claiming, e" Boy we have got no country now.
Other officers exhibited corresponding degree Of
grief, while the soldiers were decidedly demon.
stratiye in their manifestations OF rage.
The nuubero our troops thus surrendered
was 1853, Of which the Vermont Ninth fur
nishcd 500. Some 90 pieces of artillery and a
million dollars worth of commssary and other
stores also fell into the hands of the rebels. The
correspondent say these stores were hurried off
as soon as possible, the enemy probably fearing
an attack from our forces near by.
The rebels paroed our men rapidly, by calling
on the commandig officer oil each regiment or
battalion for his muster rolls, checking the men
present, nscrlblne he parole on the margin of
the sheet, and q ps 'hrcagh 'he confederate
lines" on the bacA Of it, Thus it didn't take long
to parole the whole number. All concur in say
Ing that the rebe, treated them very kindly

have escaped it thus far in the war. and We
hope, we shall continue to Judge impartially,
and condemn, it, need be- iearlessly, all act,
that do not commend themselves to our con-
science and our devotion to the best interests
of the whole race. Ia this way we may not
only rescue our beloved institutions from the
assault of treason, bat we shall also preserve
our liberties without which our government
will be worthless.
