So far a. have conversed with the officers. they
express their perfect willingness 70 fight under
any General whom IL shall please the Govern
ment 10 place Over them They say they have
h come here 70 fight fOf The Government. and not
for Sigel. and they have very clear IDEAS on the
subject, and are by no means backward in ex-
pressing them | believe this whole trouble
about Sigel originates and i kept up bs two or
three of the Northern Governors the end and
aim OF whose existence seems 10 be TO retard the
prosecution Of the war by every means in their
power. IN order that by no possibility can IL be
brought any where near termination by next
year. Ii they succeed in this, then Of course the
emancipation proclamation takes effect
In fact. the interference of these Governors
with army matters has reached 70 such an extent
as to be almost incredible. One would think. 70
see the airs which they assume here. that they
constituted the head of the army, and that Gen.
halleck and the War Department were only the
servants employed To execute their will They
demanded the power 20 assign the troops raised
IN their respective States 10 the command OF
whstever Generals they may please select They
claim the power to have certain Generals whom
they lame displaced, and other Generals of their
nomination placed in their stead. Above all,
they assume the sovereign power Of regulating
the movements of the troops raised in their re-
spective States, or Of forbdding their mo, ement
at all. All these things are done in furtberance
OF the one grand idel OF delaying the termination
the war. How long the President may be dis
posed TO wink at conduct which, while il is
reasonable as that of Gov. Letcher, still advances
the great cause OF emancipation, have no means
OF knowing. But do know that the frown on
the brow of the grim old soldier who sits in the
office OF the General in Chief grows blacker and
blacker every day. and that he will not endure
such conduct mach longer He, for one i de
termined that the war shall not anguish as long
as there are troops 90 be had TO carry it on. He
Is not man much given 10 proclamations But
IN these days OF martial law he will find some
way to reach those who are throwing obsta
cles in the way of the successful prosecution
of the war, even if they do sit in Governors
chairs
In speaking of Sige. / meant also to speak of
Garbaldl always connect the two men, and
in truth they have much in common They both
have weak spots. and the heads ofboth have been
turned by hattery. The old talk of offering
Garibaldi high command in the army is again
revived This time, however. it is not proposed
to make him GeneFalissimo. | repeat now how
ever. what | said then, il was gravely proposed
to make Garibald the successor of Winfield
Scott Garibaldi is a humbug and now an ex
ploded Ole. DE has never exhibited any one of
the qualities required in 4 great General beyond
mere bravery. What pass over so many OF our
own brave Generals and Colonies, to confer a
high command or Garibaldil Truly though IL
would be but fit counterpart TO that other piece
of supreme folly, the calling on the blacks to
save the Republic. Help US. Sambol for with
out your aid the secesh are proving too mighty
for us!' Such is the import of Mr. Lincoln
emancipation proclamation With negroes for
soldiers, however. and Garibald for a leader. who
could doubt the resultg Has it indeed, though,
come to this, that the great American Republic
can not be restored without the aid of negro
soldiers and foreign Ge1eralsf And il not. what
do we want with eth ar one or the otherl Y.
