SOLDIER.
Gen. Wilcox, who was captured, incarcera;ed,
and released by the Rebels with Gen. Corcoran, met
with hearty welcome at Detroit on "Wednesday

have room only for the following extracts:
Cen W. said that large numbers Of Southern
reople-men, women, and childrer-ior no other
crime than supposed loyalty 10 the country AID
Constitution of thclr fathers, were lpcdrcelated III

they mad been. Tie masses OF tie people South
would gladly recognize and return 70 the lDion, bul
90 closely are they held bondage and terror that
10 demonstrations OF their loyalty can lie made
They are thoroughly onslaved, through fear, to jeff
Davis, Robert IOonbs, Howell Cobb, aad otners,
men whom they now and always have thoroughly
hated aud desplsed.
Said Gen. Wilcox, tie South is fighting for the
most absolute desIOtlsm on tie face Oh the earth

FREEDOM Of thought through the secret ballot Is En-
tirely and always Will he, denied. They hate Tree
