Dr. T II. Ornle informs US that he found pub

demned in emphatic terms the measures lately
adopted in the further prosecution of the war,
which is gradually and surely turning into war
for the destruction Of slavery, aud not for the
restoration Of the Union. When the war COM
meneed, ReaTly all parties were enthusiastic in
its support aud rushed into the ranks, looking
solely TO s restoration of the Union. The peo
pie OF the EoTth-all parties-had blind idols-
try Of the Union, except the old dyed-in-the-
wool aboiticnists THESE have been opposed to
the Union for years. because it upheld slavery

Of this unwonted situation OF affairs throughout

Since General Shermsns order opened the
whisky shops, the good order of the city is gone,
and the former good nams which our soldiers
had gained for discipline, politsness and soldier
ly bearing, is fast departing. Formerly, all was
as quiet after night as in any Northern city, but
now, at all hours of the night, we can hear the
shouts and yel.s of drunken soldiers, that, to use
their own expressions, DJn't care continental
for any body" One can 90 up Main street at
almost any hour of the day or night, and meet
staggering soldier that fOr whom the side-walB
is not half wide enough.
They club together and hire hacks, into which
four or FIVE will cram themselves and drive al
furious rate through the principal Streets TO the
very great danger Of every other vehicle on the
road.
Soldiers have q hard time when they are
on a march in such weather as we have here,
and they naturally feel ike having a good time
when they are in camps; but such good time
as they are having hare at the present time is
doing them an injury, aud is tending to I'LL the
hospitals with many that would not be there If
the means of getting drunk were not so easily
obtained.
Some weeks ago it wes thought necessary to
increase the police force OF the city. 1t was,

raise a revenue to pay the police, the whisky
shops were opened and taxed twenty-five dollars
per month each. II there was reason IN the first
two acts, it would seem that to continue the
same course of reasoning, we should have an
other increase of the police force to quel the dis

Public opinion here has undergone aTemarka-

and was quite ready to give up the slavery ques-

North became known, when they turned the sg
gressors, when they showed how barbarOHs was
their mode of warfare, public opinion gradually
veered round and the seizure of Mason and Sli-

The Elephant Becoming troublesome.
The presence Of the darkies at the Nerth is
beginning to arrest the attention and excite the
apprehension Of our Northern brethren. What
to do with the nigger when he gets to the land of
promise, is the perple1ipg question.
The Cairo Gazette Of late date says:
The Isvees yesterday were SO dark with ne
grOeE that pedestrians found it dificult to pere-
grinste without lsnters. We never before saw
Just such lot of darkies in our life Uncle
Toms, Aunt Chloies and Topsys, were sbun-
daut. There were about 100000 900 600 baby
daTkies, and probably thrice that number of
children ranging from two TO five years Three
iouTths of the latter were dilGpidsted shirts of
deep mud color, when We sew them they were
ymnGsticising- standing upon their heads,
etc A number Of the old folks we're sick, and
the whole lot, excepting the little rOlicking
shirt clad sbavers, were certainly very wrelched
specimens Of humanity.
What this eternal raft Of negroes viii fnd to
do here is moro than we can foTetell The gov

either starve or become government paupers.

No one can solve it. If hundreds and hundreds

Butler mud Phelps.

From the Chicago Times
The correspondence between Gen. Butler and
Gen Phelps is by far the most racy OF any that
has occurred during the war. On July 38th
Gen. Phelps wrote 10 Capt. Davis, inclosing re-
questions for arms, clothing, camp and garri-
son equipage, etc. for three regiments Of ne
groes ne proposed raising, and 6ve companies Of
which he then had on hand. In his letter he
discussed the negro question generally, and sug-
gested that cadet graduates be sent to South
Carolina and New Orleans to discipline the At
rican leyies. The letter is decidedly Phelpsy,
and proves how silly an otherwise sensible man
may become under the influence OF negro on the
brain. Capt. Davis, for Gen. Butler, replied to
the letter briefly, and directed Gen. Phelps to
employ his pet five companies in cutting down
trees and forming an abattis between his lines
and the lake, according te plans furnished Lieu
tenant Wetzs., Gen. Batlsr's chief engineer
The negro mania Of General Phelps was reused
into fury by the order, and he informed General
Butler, through Captain Davis, of his entire sb-
sence of qualification to command persons OF
African descent otherwise than as soldiers, and
rendered his resignation, requesting leave of alb
sence till it was accepted. BY this time the mat
ter had become 30 interesting that General Bat
Ter no longer employed an amanuenss, but con-
Quoted the correspondence for himself and by
himself and ne did it in such a manner that the
ply. There is a directness about General Bat
leT's letter that proves its authorship. He ad
viseS General Phelps that ths arms, clothing,
camp and garrison equipage which are at New
Orleans are expressly limited to trite soldiers
He adds: General, ycur resignation will not
be accepted by me; leave of absence viii not be
granted"
This letter Of General Butler finished tie cor
respondenee and General Phelps at the same
time. On the same day, however, General
Butler wrote to the Secretary Of War, inelosing
copy of the correspondence and detailing the
entire affair. The answer Of the secretary, if
any has been made has not been published, and
here the matter rests.
A noticeable feature of this correspondence
is the statement that the arms clothing, etc, at
New Orleans were expressly limited to white
soldiers and for that, ii for no other reason, the
requisitions of General Phelps could not be
filed It would seem from this that the War
Department had an inkling that the abolition
pr0ciyities of General Phelps were about to be
practically exercised, and took pTecaution to
prevent mischief from him No such express
limitation was ever made by the War Depart
ment in this couatry until it was called upon to
arm the slaves that they might help us fog their
masters. That it has been thus called upon,
and has respectfully declined, is shown by Gen.
Buler's letter.
