Tie times Upon which We are fallen win put
every man to the test The rnaterial Of which
he Is made will be made manifest Hhe isa
self-worshipper, acrayen, sneak OF traitor, it
viii now appear One wiser than we are has
said That he who estimates friends, property, or
oveniife. above the supreme righteousness can
not be a follower of His, SO our country says
to all her children If you esteem money, lands
or houses above me you are not worthy Of me;
if YOU place party before me you are not wor-
tby Of me; If you value sons brothers or fathers
laore than me you are not worthy Of me; you
esteem life itself too great price TO pay for me
YOU are not worthy Of me. He who has money
to give and refuses to give It. or gives grudging-
". is made manifest by the test of these times.
His soul is mean, selfish, narrow and grovelling.
He who has an arm to aid in the great work OF
his country's redemption and withholds it, whe-
ther it be his own or that of son or brother, or
friend, has not yet learned what the birthright
OF an American citizen is worth, and what the
great duty which God and his country now lays
upon his soul Werepeat, these times will show
of what sort every man is There is and viii
be no inistaking the true patriot. He gives his
money, his children, himself to the great work
of saving his country. He does it not grudg-
ingly but with free heart. He is of that class
whom the Lord loveth,-aa cheerful giver. y
The sneak is equally nanifest. He is for his
country o yess-but, ,-but--. Sneak is
written all over his face-it snuffles in his nose
You hear It in his voice--and when the sub
,scription to the county fund, or the enrolment
list comes near him then you know he is sneak.
The traitor is as manifest as the sneak, He is
the man who calls this a "Black Republican
var,p--who foams at the mouth like mad-dog
when he hears of the "uigger, who wants to
compromise with rebels,-who would buy them
off at the expense not of his soul for he hasnone,
but of all that has been deemed sacred among
men, He would blot out the Declaration, ahol-
ish the fourth Of July, and accept jeff Davis
Consultation, to appcase the rebels Let tn
test work. 1t will make every mans characte
to be known and read Of all men.

We hear once more rumors of treasonabie So
cieties in some of the free States. In Pennsyi-
vania and New Jersey they speak OF a Legion
of Liberty which is probably only asecession
rose BY another name. In this State, such men
as Valiandigham and Edison B. olds are pub
hcly declaring against the war; calling Mr. Lin-
coin traitor, tyfant perjarer, and great many
other hard names In Indiana the Knights OF
the Golden Circle have suffered an awkward ex-
posure at the hands of grand jury at indians

SECRETARY OF WAR
L. G. TURNER, Judge Advocate.
From CoIumbus-TO The People of Ohio.


Columbus, Aug. T. 1862.
In reply to the many inquiries, have to state
that the rules and regulations to govern drafting
have not yet been received from the War De-
partment; that as soon received, they shall be
published; that until received, | am unable to
say for what length Of time volunteers will be
received for new regiments; that the new regi-
ments heretofore called for are now nearly filed
up, but that recruiting for the old regiments in
the field progresses slowly. / am unable to ac-
count for this. The position of a recruit in an
old regiment is far more desirable than in new
regiment and also far more important to the
Government. The recruit joins a body of drill-
ed men, who have had and recovered from all
diseases incident to camp life, and are thus able
to receive and care for new brother soldier
The several military committees should act as
recruiting officers for the old regiments and for
ward all recruits to this department, where they
will be permitted to select for themselves the
regiment TO which they prefer to be attached.

lowing facts relative to the capture Of our
brave Philadelphia General. During the
battle he had been wounded slightly, nv
informant thinks in the arm, but the iniu-
ry was not sufficiently severe or painful
to oause him 70 leave the field.
Soon after, accompanied by an Aid, he
rode into piece Of woods for the purpose
Of ordering body Of our troops he believed
10 be there to fall back, when party of
rebels suddenly advanced and ordered him
70 halt. At the same instant one Of the
vandals seized his horse by the rein, and
before the General could draw his pistol or
sword, he was prisoner. The Aid es-
capped, but not without having volley dis
charged after him. Fortunately, none Of
the balls struck him.
George Archibald Mccall was Major
General of Pennsylvania troops, and Briga-
dier General Of U. s. Volunteers, with a
Major Generals command. He graduated
at the United States Military Academy in
1922, and entering the army as Second
Lieutenant Of Infantry, advanced by sue
cessive steps till he was breVeted Lieuten-
ant Colonel for gallantry at Resaca de Ia
Palma. He afterwards served as Adjutant
General to Gen. Taylor, and resigned in
1858. He devoted himself to agricultural
pursuits till the breaking out Of the war,
when he entered the army again. In De-
eember last he won a brilliant victory at
Drainsville, and was afterwards under
Mcdowell His force had scarcely landed
on the Peninsula when the recent battles

the House Of Lords, Lord Brougham de-
plored the continuance Of the War, but
said it was impossible for England to in
terfere at present. Palmerston also said
that at this time any interference in Amer
ican affairs would only aggraYate matters.
In this he was right. We are capable of
taking care of our own affairs, and out
siders who may desire to interfere viii do
well to calmly ask themselves what they
will accomplish thereby, We have too
large an army to trihe with, and our prep
arations for an iron-olad navy will give
Us in three months time navy far too
powerful to be tampered with with i'm
punity. Our coast will be defended by
heet Of Monitors that will send destruction
) % the wooden walls Of England, and con-
BternatiOn to those who live in them. In
any event, several months would be con-
sumed in negotiations and diplomatic cor
respondenee before war would be declared,
and in the meantime we could, by putting
forth all the latent energy Of the Ameri-
can people, raise such naval defense as
would astonish those who are accustomed
70 che slow processes Of the Admiralty.-
The statement made in another column of
what is being done in iron-clads is ex-
tremely suggestive, not only to us who feel
an ownership in this formidable array, but
to those who would rouse our wrath. We
do not doubt the truth of Palmerston's re-
mark that both England and France would
be delighted to take mediatory steps when
a fitting opportunity arose, but we are not
disposed to crafty that delight We by
means say that there is no danger, but if |
that danger shall eulminate in specific ac-
tiOn, then this people will rouse themselves
to meet it with the power which they have
as yet only partially put forth for the sup
preston Of domestic rebellion.
That the public feeling in England is not
entirely with the South, is evidenced by
the proceedings of meeting of operatives
called with the design of urging mediation
upon the Government, but at which the
public sentiment was so strong for the
Union, that instead of urging mediation
for the sake Of the South, the rebels were
eounseled to submit to the Administration

Armlng the Blacks.

AHUllMM AuN AaElaNAMa
Il will be seen that a bill has been in
trOduoed into Congress authorizing the
President to call for reinforcements for tho
army 'sithout regard 70 color, caste Or nation-
ally. We heartily hope this bill, or one
hiailar, viii pass. The cry against arm
ing the blacks is worn out. Il never had
any significance or sense to rooomInend it,
and year Of war-Of bitter, relentless,
interruptions and barbarous war on the
part Of the rebels, has deprived it Of every
particle Of force which it ever possessed.
The rebels use negroes both to work and
fight A part Of them are forced into the
hsld, and part stay at home to do the
labor Of those who 60 into the army. At
Yorktown blacks were pressed forward to
load the guns from which our sharpshOot-
ers picked of every gunner who showed
himself and everywhere they have been
used to construct their forts and do all the
menial work. There is no earthly reason
Why we should not let these negroes do
gladly what they are there forced to do
fight and work. Wherever our armies
have penetrated into a slave country, they
have found the negroes willing and eager
" -''-.-'--.ud- hqht. They make good SOL
diers. Their ideas Of time -a..a en-
periOr as q race to the whites while their
naturallOve for anything imposing rem
dsEs them exceedingly ambitious to become
good and accomplished soldiers. And
what is Of vastly more Importance than
all else, they alone of the southerners are
our friends. They are "faithfal among the
faithless found If we will but let them
consider us friends and let them be friends
to US, there viii be no cause for complaint
Of their want Of energy and capacity
Think what would have been the feelings
Of our jaded and exhausted and blood
stained and battle-scarred soldiers Of the
Potomac if, after they had been driven
back step by step by outnumbering hosts
Of the enemy, and when there was no pros
peot before them but total annihilation as
an army and death as individuals, word
had reached them that Burnside or Hunter
had reached the James river with fifty
thousand trained and drilled negroes, well
armed and ready to plunge into the battle
while the veterans of six days fighting
retired to refresh themselves Would there
have been many then who would have said
aught against using black regiments?
1t is not q measure without precedent to
arm and use the blacks. Gen. Jackson
employed black troops at New Orleans,
and after the battle eomplimented them in
the highest terms upon their bravery and
efficiency. Here is the testimony of one
Of our greatest generals and one of the
leaders ofDemocraey, attesting to the value
Of negro regiments. So far as color is con-
eerned the negroes are certainly no more
Objectionable than the Tureos Of the French
army OF the sepoys of the English In
short the cry against granting to blacks a
chance to fight Is the sheerest humbug, and
It is time it had lost its power.
