Nm EDffoa:-Yfti u not generally known that
almost ali the officers belonging to the regular
army were, previous 20 the breaking oat of the
ltebeliiop. Breckinridgc Democrats Of the most
ultra pro-slavvIy stripe. Among the officers
who serve as Brigadier Generals Of Volunteers
in the army Of the Potomac, one only Of the old
regulars Is Suspected Of being Republican. I
I, have in vain tried 10 find tlut thereis Doug
( las Democrat among them Almost all the
, Generals Of Divisions are West Point officers
who rank as Colohels IN the regular army, but
who are now raised to The rank of Brgadiers
commanding divisions. This was done for the
better organisation Of our army here. But lam
proud to say the plan has not suceeeded 50 wen
as might have been expected, because our eOl'sn-
tecr Brigaders hare done, ~Acrsbsp fFsy hare had
}, ehdtce j,st as rel as those appoipsted from the
regular servicc And am further proud to say
} that our volunteer Brigadigrs to'am man are anx-
ious TO fight, put down the rebellion, close up
} the war aud 60 home to their business. But
those who are soldiers by profession do not ex-
J hibita large amount Of combativeuess towards
rebellion, nor any particular anxiety to restore
J peace TO the coantry. War u there trade
; There may be some exceptions, but the rule Is
very general.
One thing IS certain, by being placed 10 the
, most prominent commands, these West Pointers
) have the power TO keep back the action of any
and of all volunteers. 1t matters not how soon
or how cheaply they can or could capture
large force of the enemy, such action must be
t submitted to the decision of West Pointer be-
: fore a volunteer can move man or stir horse
The manner in which Lander and Kelly were
I snubbed in Virginia is a fair specimen Of the
r treatnlentto which volunteer Generals are La
a ble With them there is no matter worthy Of
consideration unless it enianatcs from West
t Pointer. West Pointers maRaged the battle Of
: Bull Run. Since that time they have managed
the army on the Potomac, and during all that
time have not been guilty of even military
) assault and battery on the rebel army Of Man
assas At least it,would trouble jeff Davis to
d make out a case against them on such charge.
7 II is no secret among certain circles that Gen.
< Mcclellan was, until about year ago, strong
S sympathiser with the South, and did not fail to
n openly express sympathy with the South in
The trongs they endured from tie Northl The fact
8 is he was, and without doubt is yet Breckin-
: ridge Democrat. So are all his relatives and
= intimate friends. If this were not SO, the New
t, York Herald would not have taken him SO pat
8, lronizingly under its care. Neither would Cob
le right, Breckinridge operator for the associa
N ted press, have taken to him so kindly and done
'e up so many little jobs of putting him, if he had

f. Notwithstanding the above facts are all pos

n been trying to make political capital out Of the
l. supposed Douglas Democracy of the General =
In this they were as near the truth as when they
r tried to prove the antagotism of Mr. Wade ,to
e, the Administration. Other Ohio papers hav,
le lately given very satisfactory evidence of al
y unusual growth of morality, II not piety, amonl
h. their editors and correspondents. Such ais
