THE ADJUTANT GENERAL AND THE NEGRO
REGIMENTS

Our readers have seen it announced in great many
places and great many ways that Adutant General
Thomas has again proceeded tour to the South
west to organize more neg 0 regiments" During his
former tour the errand he visited many posts and
made many speeches to different regiments but if may
trust the accounts of the Chicago Times and
of the Boston Commonwealth he did not succeed en-
listing many hundreds of negroes he represented
to have enrolled thousands Skeleton regiments"
formed but they not filled for want of material to
fill them. The Cincinnati Commercial, Administration
paper comments follows the reiterated announce
ment that Adutant General Thomas "is geing West to
organize more negro regiments"

Responsibility OF Northern Democratic
Leaders,

Northern politicians who courted favor
with Southern men, Northern aspirants tc
the Presidency who wanted Southern votes
carefully concealed from the South the true
state of public feeling in the Northern
States, and thus the South was led into the
erroneous belief that the North would never
attempt TO coerce them, should they con.
clude to raise the standard Of disunioD. To
this extent the Democratic leaders in the
North from pure selfshuesS, have been aid.
ers aud abettors Of the iebeliou, though |
am willing to believe that some of them did
net know then what they were doing. JEFF.
Davis was evidently one Of those deluded
men who W as thus made 10 believe that the
North would never fight, aud he must now
hate and Gespise hose Northern Democrats
whem he accuses of deception aud lying
For he said, when speaking Of the means

"Whcre will you go for volunteers TO en-
gage in this + falernal s;rifcY Is it you, or
you, who will enlist in such wal? or who
is it? In what State, or county, or town,
or neigbborhood, will you go for recruit?
You must raise foreign army; you must
have Swiss guard, when you attempt with
sword and bayonet TO enforce your laws on
the citizens Of the United States. The
free born soldiers Of our country would dis
dain the task, for they have grown from the
cradle with the conviction that this is q
confederacy Of brethren, which rests for its
authority on the consent and for its sup.
port upon the union ana harmony and good
will of its members. This UDion can never

We arc begiuningto take pity on the band
of official fugitives at the Sontb who, like.
the FIRST born Cain, after he had raised bis
hand against the life OF bis brother, have
become wanderers on the face of the earth.
IL is remarkable that from JEFF Davis down
TO Gen. Sanders, there is scarcely zone of
them who has home to go to, or the
means of getting there if he had. Davis own
home is near Vicksburg, where a small
army of Unionists is encamped Judah p.
Benjamin would find an i'll reception in New
Orleans, just as Mallory would in Florida !;
while Reagan can't get 10 Texas, and Mem
minger does not want 10 get to Charleston.
Slidell and Mason, the rebel ambassadors
abroad, should they be recalled by their
government, as it threatens, would find no
roof of their own TO shelter their heads,
Mason's house being in purt Of Virginia
where loyal troops congregate, and Slidel's
having been copfScated some months ago.
AT The same time, many of the lesser lights
of rebeldom, such as the governors OF the
States of Louisiana, Missouri and Arkansas,
driven away from their capitals, are herdng
together like frightened deer in some
covert of Texas. Y. o. Moore, Thomas G.
Reynolds, and Harris Flanagan, who by a
pleasant fiction dub themselves Governors
respectively of these States, were at the
last reports the guests of Gov. Lubbock,
whose own trunks were packed ready for
flight, and waiting only for the tap Of one
Of Banks drums TO be off in jlffy.
