SOLDIERS or THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC:
Your achievements of the past ten DAYS
have illustrated the yalor aud endurance
OF the American soldier. Attacked by su-
perior forces, and without hope of reinforce
ments, you have succeeded in changing
your base OF operations by flank move
ment, always regarded as the most hazard-
Gus of military dxpedients. You have
saved all your material, all your trains,
and all your guns except few lost in bat.
tie, taking in return guns and colors from
the enemy,
Upon your march you have been assailed
day after day with desperate fury. by men
of the same race and nation, skillfully
massed and led
Under every disadvantage of nu tDber
and necessarily of position also, you have,
in every conflict, beaten back your foes
with enormous slaughter.
Your conduct ranks you among the eel
cbrated armies of history.
No one will now question that each of
you may always with pride say" belong
to the Army OF the Potomac
You have reached this new base COM
pleted in organization unimpaired in spirit
The enemy may at any time attack
you. We are prepared to meet them. 1
have personally established your lines.
Let thin come, and we will convert their
repulse into final defeat
Your government is strengthening you
with the resources of great people
On this, our nation 'sbirthdap, we declare
to our foes, who are rebels against the best
interests Of mankind, that this army shall
enter the capital of the so called Csnfeder-
acy. That our National Constitution
shall prevail, and that the Uniot, which
can alone insure internal peace and exter-
nal security to each State, must and shalt

Major-GeneraI POPE.

Maj. Gen. Pope, who has been appointed
to the command of the Army of Virginia,
is upward of forty years of age. He was
born in Kentucky, but emigrated to Illinois
before attaining his majority, and is now
citizen of that State. He enterd the West
Point Military Academy in 1888, as a
cadet from Illinois, and graduated with
distinction in 1912.
He was soon after appointed brevet
second lieutenant of Typographical Engin.
eers in the United States service and at
the commencement of the war with Mexico
accompanied the army in that capacity.
At the battle of Monterey, he distinguished
himself, and for his gallant conduct on
that occasion was breyetted a first lieutenant
the commission bearing date Sept ember
%, 1916. For meritorious service at the
battle of Buena Vista, he was brevetted a
captain, his commission dating from the
23d of February, 1917. In July, Ie4s,
he became full Captain in the Topo-
graphical Engineering corps, aud soon af
forwards was placed in command of the
Expedition sent out by the United States
government to ascertain the practicability
of boreiDg artesian wells in the Staked
Plain lying between Texas and New Mex
leo. Not succeeding in the undertaking,
Captain Pope returned to Illinois. He
supported Mr.. Lincoln for the Presidency,
and III February, 1861, at the request of
the newly elected President, he accompau-
led him on his journey to Washington.
Being known to Mr. Lincoln as an able
and loyal officer, he was successfully pro

was appointed Brigadier General, and
assigned to the department of Missouri.
In March last he was promoted to a Ma

manded a division of Gen. Halleck army
before Corinth. Thus he has risen step
by step to one of the most important posi-
tiOns in the Union army.

Northern Treason.

An antl-slavery organization has been
formed in the City of New York, at the
head of which is the ediIor-in chief of
the EUeaatg Post, William Cullen Bry-
ant, the poet, which announces as one of
its fundamental principles the dogma that
'.no Stute HosO an tie ze6elfioa shall be
again recognized as member of The
Union except on condition Of snldncipa-
hOn" What treason is this The as
soeation is called the Emancipation
League and addresses have been deliv-
cred before it at the Cooper Institute by
Senator Jim Lane, of Kansas, and Owen
Lovejoy, the fantical NJ G. from Illiuois.
1t Is intended, if possible, to engraft this
treasonable principle upon the platform
of the Republican party, and convert the
war at once into en- anti-slayery crusade.
1t Is as rank treason as secession itself,
and is based upon the absured doctrine Of
the Southern demogagues, that State
can take itself out Of The Union, and thas
those States in which the reblion now
prevails are really out. The Newburypors
Herald, Republican journal, thus dispos-
es Of the fallaey upon which the "Eman-
cipation League" has established its creed:
No States has gone ont of the Union.
and we are not attmepting to bring one
into the Union. We only aim to suppress
instruction in certain States of the Union,
that the laws may be executed and the 10y
al people hold control 1.-THE States could
take themselves out of the Union, this would
be foreign war, war OF invasion and to
be justified on no good grounds; but not
being out, We can make no conditions for
their return There is the Constitution
they must obey that, aud we can impose
upon them nothing different or beyond
that. Dir Bryant,s League accepts the

Here Is another account of the last words

again called on to volunteer in her
defense, that the blood of her sons, who
have already fallen, may no. have been
shed in vain, and that we may hand down
to our posterity the blessings of Union,
an civil and political liberty, which we
derived from our fathers.
The number of men now required, and
the regulations for enlistments will be made
known forthwith in general orders. Mean
