Gov. SEYMOUR CALLS THEM UP TO

shows which way the wind begins to
blow in the Empire State:
When the order for the draft was
issued from the'War Department, ii

assumed to authorize every petty Of
fccr in the country to make arrests
on suspicion and imprison victims
The abuses to follow were apparent,
and in many localities have been re-
allied. We are pleased TO notice
that beginning has been made IN
the work of calling to &c uut stch
officers as improperly used the pow

selves clothed. Tie Albany cores

error has received some thirteen dis

Charles Kennedy, the Sheriff OF
Chauiauque County, for arbitrary ar
rests. Some of them charge that
men have been arrested ss soon as
they landed in the county from boats
plying upon the lakes, spd forced ID
enlist in the army others that he had
arrested his personal enemies without
cause and compelled them to enter
the army. These charges. are all en-
dorsed by some Of the most respon-

Er5A Memphis correspondent OF
the n. York Herald says:
the most startling reports daily
reach US Of outrages'by our soldiers
all along tie line Of the Memphis and
Charlestou Railroad. The Seventh
Kansas regiment of cavalry are par
ticularly mentioned as the perpetra-
tors of outrages for which their Off
GERS ought to be dismissed from the
service. Fences are pulled down and
burned, hogs, cattle, and fowls killed
bcrses and mules stolen, houses burned
and pillage and rapine are their com.
mon, every day pursuits. Even la
dies have had their clothes On thell
persons thrown over their heads, on
the pre.ext. that they had money
on their persons which they would
not give up. Such desolation as has
followed in their tracks in West Ten
nessee can never be adequately shad
owed forth in words. 1t has to bf
seen to be appreciated. Officer:
who fail to command their men arf
guilty, and should be made to sui

Disclosures about the Feeling In the

! The New l OrK "EeraiO, VI Salui

a letter which appears in tie Ne"
York "Times," written from the army
lof the Potomac. The "Hsral2 says:
One of our Abolition organs OF the

newspapers heretofore suppressed by
the Government amount 10 .nothIng

temporary. 1t tells the world and
the rebel army in front of ours a;
Fredericksburg that the "Administra-
| ;ion looks with distrust on the army OF
the Potomac and that that army
'looks with distrust on the Admins
tration )" that Gen. Halltck has de-
nouncld this army as "disafected
and dangerous, and that, in fact,
"the army Of the Potomac has
ceased to exist that "the animosity
I in Washington towards the army is
amply repaid by the bitterness OF
! the army towards the Cabinet :
| that Gen. Burnside had been ordered
to move glinst the enemy last Thurs
day week, and that the order was
countermanded With the discovery
that some of bis Generals had no
confidence 10 him; that the army
| is demoralized and in dangerous
| position, and that the Cabinet Is de-
bali1g whether to break it up, to ap-
point a new commander, or TO try
another advance under It's present
! Organization and leader, and so on TO
the end Of the chapter.

gather all the information that he
possibly could, calculated to detiiOral-
ize our army, to strengthen the ene'
my and weaken the Government, be
would have returned abundantly salts
fed with copy of the aforesaid letter.
In the simple fact that The Amy OF
the Potomac has remained stationary
| since the battle Of Fredericksburg,
there is evidence Of something wrong;
and from the numerous idle rumors
and bits OF fact, and ingenious exug
gerations aaoat in w ashingtOn, 1T Is
easy TO understand how the disclo-
sures of the letter in question were
woven together. But, whether false
or true, if such efforts among our
prolessedly Administration Journals
10 hold up to-the contempt OF other
nations and to the advantage OF the
enemy, our army yand our Government
can be quietly permitted at Washing
ton, it may. as well be proclaimed at
once that the loyal States are open to
the establishment Of newspapers d.
rrctIy in the service and pay OF

The Hon. Henry May, Of Balti'

acquainted with the feelings and pur-
poses Of the rebels than any other
man in the House, is reported 10 the
Globe to have said in his speech yes

antasonism between the sections
where slavery is and is not allowed,

MIR. May went on to say that The
only alternatives presented to the

Ition," and he administered rebuke
to Mr.. ValIandis cham for laying SO
much stress upon arguments Tor re-
union found in physical geography,
when all hopes Tor 1t were lorolauen u
by reasons Inherent in the mature
OF man." :.
The New York Times on the same
subject, says:
Some Republicans are SO much
outraged at Henry Mays speech on
Monday, (Which be was permitted to
print after delivering only a part of
! it,) that they talk OF bringing in a
resolution for his expulsion. He said
that the rebellion stood before the
world justified of God and man, and
that the war could only end in one
of two ways-suhjugation or separa'
tion-as restoration with slavery was
now forever impossible.
The Republicans also foollshly
consented to let Wicklil1e print a
speech which he did not deliver
and now it is feared that he will ex-
pose equally bold treason when it
appears.

/ A New York paper, taking up
subject that is receiving general at,
l,en,ion in the North--the propriety
of leaving New England "ous in the
coldf--says: 7ua5
The area OF the New England
States, leaving out Maine, is 33,S73
square miles, that of New York is
1900. All the northern and east
..rn portion of Maine is wild, mouR-
famous, and inhospitabie region. in-
capable Of settlement, so that the to-
ia! arabic surlace Of New England
does not exceed the cultivable area Of
| New York. Now, We wish to Put the
question we put it merely for Illus
itation what objection is there TO
oblilerTting all the internal bounda-
rles which distinguish the several
New England States on the map,
and consolidating them all into a single
State? What right bear in mind
that we only ask the question Tor the
sake of illuslratiop] bsve three mil
lions of population residing in New
England, 10 twelve Senators in Con-
eress, when nearly four millions,
residing in New York, are entitled to
only two? The immense prepund-
ersDce Of Of political POWER, out OF all
reasonable proportion to its area and
population, is held only by the tenure
of the State rights which that section
is madIy attempting to undermine
and overthrow. The stability ofthis
dispropoltionate and enormous power
rests wholly on the sacredaess OF the
old State boundaries, which New
England influence is attempting to
shake IF and sweep away, and which
ithas already succeeded in destroying
in Virginia. 1t is a favorite saw OF
the radicals that revolutions never go
Backward - and if this work Of de-
molishing State rights and obIitera-
ting old State boundaries is to pro-
ceed, it is one of the jikeliest things
in the world that this faDatical and
destructive device should return TO
plague the inventors. II they are
going to roll up the Constitution as
a piece of obsolete "sbeepskln" this
is MIR. Beecher's tasteful and very
reverent epirhet], and return to first
principles, why may not New York
insist that New England shall take
dose Of its own medicine? If the
principle of human equality is to be
vigorously carried out iu-the spirit of
Ia doctrine, without regald 10 race or
color, why not also without regard to
the invisible mathematical line s
which form State boundaries? Why
is not New Yorker as good as a
Yankee? New England has one
Senator in Congress to every 26l,-
600 inhabitants, while New York has
only one to 100000, m king the
political value Of New EnglaEder
very nearly seven and a half times as
great as that Of New Yorker.

AUGUSTA, Dec. 10, 1868.
Tothe Editor Of the Press:
One travelling on the Kennebec & Portland
Railroad to its eastern terminus, must come
TO the conclusion that for decent sized viii
lage the city OF Augusta is enjoying mon
strous monopoly. Under the order of the
Governor, the 10Th and Both Veteran Reg-
ments, together with the new Cavalry reg-
ment and the new Battery, arc all obliged to
rendezvous at Augusta. The two Veteran
regiments have nearly all been raised in the
western part Of the State, and nine out OF ten
of their number could, so far as travel or COM
fort is concerned, be better accommodated at
Portland than Augusta.
Notwithstanding this, with their friends
and all who are doing business with them,
they are compelled TO travel over the slower
road" back and forth, at an extra expense
which, If computed and averaged, would
amount 10 an enormous sum.
For reasons known probably TO the manag-
ers, the Railroad Company the first of Decem-
Der raised their rates OF fare fifty cents from
Yarmouth Junction to Augusta, going up from
Si.io to sl.@. Under this favorable arrange
ment for the people Of Augusta, the Road Is
pocketing Its tens OF thousands out OF the cot.
