Action OF the Board Of Trade.

The Injustice to which Gen Turchln has
been made victim, aud the tndignitfes which
have been heaped upon him byEebe1 witnesses
before federal court curious spec
tacle-- have naturally crested In this commn-
nifty. an almost unanimous and freely out
spoken sentiment, that the lAfo investigation
In which be was tbs party defendant. Waa-so
use mild term-an outrage. den- ToEcntn,
prior to the outbreak, stood without reproach-
He was man genial In intercourse, popular
In eociety, generous In his views. and large
hearted In his actions. In his speciality Of en- |
cheering, he had few equals. Along military |
experience in the Russian service, and an un- |
usual familiarity with field operations and the |
construction Of batteries, coupled with the |
unanimous will Of this community, placed
him at the head Of the Nineteenth Illinois
Regiment, then-as now-fami1ia.ly known
by the appellation Of sour boys" They left
for the wars bearing with them our wtshesa and
God speeds. A more thoroughly drilled and
ser7iceab1e regiment, under moro thorough
tactician and discfp1inariao, never entered
upon the service.
And now what have been the fortunes OF
this commander and of our boys? The former,
the victim Of a ourt~martil after repeated
tndignities from pro.s1ayery general, who
has only been seryiceable to home traitors In
the south; our boys, who never In any action
from colonel to private showed the white fea-
ther, disgraced and sent to the rear, discovered
and doing the work properly belonging to the
| blacks. Why7 For the reason that Don C4r-
los Buell. is determined to kin this regiment, as
one Of his own Kentucky Captains states,
These things, as We said before, have cre-
ated strong feelings In this community. They
cannot and will not appreciate the fact that
general should suffer because he believes In
carrying on this war vigorously and eneEget-
cal1y; in employing every means Providence
places IN his power, and wag1ng the strife
against rebels with all his zeal aud strength,
instead Of sympathiziug with them. This il
the head and front Of Gen. Turchin's offend
! ing, This Is the reason our boys were dis
j. eraced and sent to the rear by Don Carlo:
