informed him he might for she future drive his
own coach. IIs then bade him good bye aud

Cases are reported where these wenches have
attempted to smack the jaws Of their mistresses,
and il is nos an uncommon thing for them to
dress IL thez misHesses' clothes pat on their

The correspondent of the Chicago Tinass un-
dertakes to account for the presence Of the d.
vided Federal armies in Virginia, and his exPla-
nation is not very creditable to the pluck Of
Lincoln BE says;
The secret of the whole matter really is, how
ever, that some Emid souls here believe the bug
bear stories about toe designs of the rebels
against Washington and have persuaded Mr..
Lincoln that the capital is really in danger. Aud
hence, no mater what becomes of Mcclellan s
army, Pope and his force muss be kept as a
shisld between US here and the rebels at Cor

Lincoln Censured.

In commenting upon the course of Lincoln, a
letter in the Chicago Times has the following:
By bis obstinate refusal to dismiss Mr. Stan
ton, when the whole nation demands 1t; by re-
iaining him in ofiiee, Mr.. Lincoln indoTses his
conduct and jussiies bis action in refusing to re-
iafoTce Mcclellan during the peninsula cam
3aign. Ia point Of fact, when the history of the
var comes to De written, it viii be seen that Mr.
Lincoln was far rom blameless 10 the matter
Perfectly well aware Of his ignorance of all mil
itary knowledge, he had yet assumed the entire
direction eff the war himself On the 18Th of
J June, Mcclellan, who was then only ive miles
from Richmond, telegraphed TO the President that
his LET wing was strong enough to make the
haal assault On the rebel capital but that he had
his line of communications, and begged that
troops for tilat service be sent at once Em-
bsTked at Washington or Baltimore they couid
have reached him by way of Fortress Monroe ia
two days The President replied that he would
send McDowelFs s troops to him o0er land (But
he never sent them either by land or water
Mcclellan telegrapbed back that, coming BY that
route, Mcdowell could noS reach him in time to
becf any use; that he (1dcCle,lsa) was ready to
attack Richmond a00, and would do so if troops
could be sent by water in time to guard his rear.
To this the President never replied. A week
afterwards, however, be wross to Mcclellan that
ne had just heard from an Intelligent contTabsnd
that 10000 rebel troops had been sent away
from Richmond to reinforce Jackson, and that
this was equivalent to sending ham reinforce
ments to that amount Do heannals of history
furnish an instance of stuyidity equal to that.
That is the way MIR. Lincoln conducted the cam
p2ign.

Fufnre Federal Operations in

Correspondence Of the Chicago Times
CAIRO, August 9. I am inclined
to think that your ususlly well informed core
spondent at Memphis is mistaken regarding the
odor in which Msior-Gen. Curtis is held. I
happen to know positively that he came to
Cairo Of his own volihon, accompanied by Com
m0dore Davis, TO consult with the authorities at
Washington regarding future operations IN the
eLbTems Southwest Gen. Curtis has been Op-
Grating under q general plan furnished him BY
Gen. Halleek long before tho latter left the
Western department. Gen. Curtis now thinks
that this plan isnot good one, and proposes
another, better adapted, in his opinion, to the
present condition Of affairs. In the operation of
either plan, the cooperation OF the gunboGts
will be necessary. The gunbcat feet is not in
q condition Just now to enter on vigorous and
protTactsd campaign. These gunbOass are mere
furnaces, in which men are bas ed to death in
any climate, more particularly so in the extreme
South. There is not one 10 the feet that to-day
has half an effective crew, and several of them
are go reduced Is to have scarcely men enough
to work the boats. The Tyler came up here the
other day with ten effective men on board. The
Cafondelet came in in the same condition. And
it is utterly impossible to get recruits fast as
they are needed. Hence the movement that is
now making in Washington looking to drafting
for the navy
Lam free to confess that our western flofilla
has lost much Of its prestige acquired under the
able command of Admiral Foote. At the same
tims Commodore Davis is not to be blamed ex-
clusively. Without men to work bis ships, he
cannot accomplish what could be readily done
with fall crews, This is the great secret Of the
withdrawal from Yicksburg. And yet viii net
stand as the apologist for that movement
merely stats the facts as I know them.
Commodore Davis is now opposed to putting
his feet into active offensive service again until
his crews shall be recruited, and shall have a
little opportunity to cool of and rest. Bat am
oaablsd to say of both these commands that
they viii soon be heard from again. The OBJ
| iects of the visn of both Tho general and the
commodore to Cairo have been accomplished.
Cen Haiesk has sustained Gen. Curtis N bis
views and that ofiicer will be permitted to pros
scata the campaign he suggested, in which be
wil be assisted BY the AOtilla. Some Of the de-
tails of tie plan are yet to be perfected, which
detains Gen Curtis heTe for few days longer.

CONS from the Lo uisville De mocrat.

The telegraph says Intervention Is
imminent. That has been the case
for over a year. We will believe il
when we see it,
The telegraph still says Lincoln
will carry out his proclamation. If
so, we hope he has been provided
with two chips.
The telegraph reports that the
President says that he would die
rather than rocede from his procla-
nation. Not aword OF truth in it.
The President doesn't prefer dying
on slight occasions, and is not in
the habit of expressing such pre-
ference. He will carry out his pro-
clamation, the radicals say; but he
will not be put to the trouble. The
people have carried it out and nave
thrown it inte the sewer of the past
among other disgusting rubbish.

AN IMpUDENT CoNTRABAND.-A

following anecdote;
On our onward marcn we came
across some "darkeys" working in
field. An officer asked q likely look
ing chattel if he would go with us.
The darkey with cunning leer re-
piled, "Well, I guess not, maSsa,
jist now; wait till yer come back!
You'll be back this way in q day
or two, and then I'll think about it.
You've been this way before, and
you came back, and l guess you'll
come back now." And with chuc-
kle the intelligent contraband re-
sumed his work.

But Little Abolition Sentiment in the
Army.


A Falmouth (va.) correspondent
of the Boston Z" Herald" writing
under date of the 22d, says:
There Is but little Abolition SEN
timent in the army. The Tribune
has been offered for sale in 1t, but
finds 80 few customers that the
newsmen have concluded to drop
it. One of the newsmen says that
q boy in his employ was driven
out of camp by the Colonel of a
regiment for trying to sell the Tri-
bune. A New Hampshire boy,
while imputing the war to the agi,

he knew of several Republicans in
the ranks Of the regiment iu which

A captain of one of the Maine

was talked to about joining the CO..

the captain told him that he was a

cd Tally if he would go with him,
and help fight the rebels. Tally af-

tality ofthe Democrats, they woSld
forever vote for that party on their
return to the Granite State.
1t appears to be quite unpopular
to express any other views than
those held by the Democracy of
the nation, and there seems to be
an increasing confidence in that as
the only party that can carry the
Government successfully through
peace or war.
