Commander, Gen. McClernand, has writ
ten the following Letter as an answer to
these false charges:
SPRINGFIELD, H., Sept. IL, 1868.
CoLoNEL:-I learn that you and General
Tuttle are opposing candidates for Govern
or of the State of Iowa. Although always
Democrat, and never a Republican, in
the partisan sense of these terms, and sc
far identified with him rather than you,
cannot avoid regretting your present com
petition with each other, especially, as
through the license of partisan presses, it is
attended with recriminatiOn which must
be distasteful to both of you.
SympathiZing with the Union senti-
ments of both, and sharing in the gratitude
of the country for valuable services rem
dered by both, l cannot forhear while my
pen is in hand, to express my regret and
condemnation of the partisan violence
which has so ungenerously, unjustly and
untruly charged you with want Of efficien-
CIV and courage as an officer and soldier
Gen. Tuttle himself, no doubt, as mag
unanimous rival in politics, but comrade in
arms, regrets and condemns it too. 1t can
do him no good and you no harm; for all
know there is not the slightest foundation
for the charge. None know better than
myself this fact. Leading the advance
upon Port Gibson, and fighting successfully
throughout that battle as the commander
of the End Brigade of the 14th Division, for
the time; bearing a.gallant and valuable part
throughout the battle of Champion Hills;
cooperating with General Lawler, as the
commander of regiment of his brigade,
in the daring and brilliant charge that car
ried the enemy's works at Black River

ground in front of the enemy's works at
Vicksburg, preparatory to the charge
which followed by yourself and your regi-
ment, in the face of a terrible fire, resulting
in partial success, at the cost of a severe

The War must go through before
there can be peace, or the Cop.
DerheadS are Innocent.

A notable instance of the power with
which our Government is sustained in its
present struggle is this: that, while the
plans of our enemy's army have been well
kept from us before hand, the plans of our
army have been constantly known to them
by means Of allies, whom they have sta
toned around Washington-in the Depart
ments, and elsewhere, wherever there are
Copperheads.
There may be exceptions to this, as when
the President expected Gen. Grant to join
Gen. Banks, and he only turned about and
took Vicksburg-perhaps unexpectedly to
the Rebels, as it was to the President.
If our defeat was ever possible, this Cop
perhead agency of the Rebels would have
secured il, by keeping the Rebels posted in
all our military plans-thus rendering any
plans matured by the President entirely
inefficient where the other advantages were
equal on both sides,-and thus therefore
rendering it duty and necessity for the
army to act at utter variance to the plans
of the President, while still he is styled the
Commander-in-Chief, and thus Fastening
the anarchy promised by the Rebel leaders.
To be sure, if that state Of anarchy could
be produced, these agents ortraitors would
glory in their part in the ''breaking-up-
society business.
Notwithstanding the putting forth of all
their little strength to stop it, the Govern

wheel, and 1.-The innocents" cry out as they
roll along, 80, you can't make us out trail

day. acknowledged that if was not able
to make him out traitor he was able to
do it himself.)
Yet, notwithstanding all the DISTINCTIONS
and stumbling blocks that were planned
and have been worked, the Governmene
rolls on, and the war goes through, ana
traitors don't want war no"-tney waliS
peace. But how can we have peace unlil
the war gets through-until we nave the
whole of it? Do we prefer the war IN pieces
"a part at time? No, we are not loho OF
war-we want to be through with 1t all,
and then peace mast come. A hnlshed war
will not be without results, and peace is a
positive result. =.
The producing cause of the war may lie
nowhere short of the Unseen God, but as
the war progresses we catch glimpses of a
fIture which, from the shortness of our
vision we conclude not very Distant
These glmpses afford pictures, which OBJ

EFFECT OF THE HABEAs CORPUS Pro-
CLAMATIoN.-Judge Belts, of the United
States District Court of New York, gave
an important decision in case of habeas
corpus which came off Before him last
week. We have not room for the decision,
but append summary of its main points
from the New York Times:
Judge Belts holds that the effect Of the
proclamation is such as not only to prevent
the issuing of the writ of habeds corpus in
the cases which it specifies, but also to stop
all proceedings in such cases in which the
writ has been already issued, and he &C
cordlngiy leaves the man whose case was
brought before him in the hands of the
military authorities, to be tried by them
for the crime of desertion, with which he
was charged. His argument, in brief, is as
follows: The Government has the right to
defend its national existence, and in order
to do this ii has the right to call for the SER
vices of every man, whether he be under
age or not. And it has the further right to
say, ii it deems it to be necessary, that in
the proceedings which it thus takes to de-
fend itself, it will not havethe military in
! terferea with by the civil courts, but will
have any questions which arise as to the
payment OF this military service by the
citizen, passed upon by the military tribu-
nails, to whom the decision of such cases
belongs. This is effected by suspending
the writ of habeas corpus in such cases as
the President has the power thus to sus-
pend it; if not from his position as the
head of the Government, then by virtue of
the act Of Congress. This power he has
seen fit to exercise, and the civil courts &C
cOrdingly must take no further action in
such cases. .-
The Judge also makes two points which
seem to US exceedingly important, and yet
we are very apt to overlook them, The
first is that, in our form of Government,
| this action of the Government is our ac-
| ton. We have said that we would COM
NIT these powers to the Executive of the
| nation, to be exercised in his discretion
| His action then, in all fairness, is our ac-
ton, unless we adopt the secession view
| that we will abide by the compact which
we made in adopting this form of Gov
eminent only as long and as far as it pleases
us. fG'
ters are not robbed of any right of trial. by
this suspension of the writ. Military Of
lenses should be tried before military tri-
bunals. If these men are not lawfully en-
! listed, they are not deserters and cannot
| be punished as such. And these questions
| are all to be brought up and passed upon
| by the very same men, who might be called
upon to sit as jurymen, were the criminals
! to be tried before the civil tribunals
Our army is composed of no separate class,
having separate interest and feelings from
those of the body of the people. Every Of
| ticer expects to come home and dwell
among the people. Injustice and cruelty
are sure to be remembered against him.
And every thing calls upon him to give
| to such cases as come before him, fair
trial. But, doubtless, that is the last thing
which most of these deserters and of those
who sympathiZe with them desire. s-8

COPPERHEAD ILLUSTRATIONS OF FREE
How IT Is DONE IN DR.. OLDs' COMMONS.
we learn that on last Friday evening q
Butternut meeting, addressed by DR.. Odds,
was held at New Salem. 1t was attended,
as usual, by all the rowdies and DULLES of
the surrounding country. After the meet
ing boy, only about seventeen years Of
age, brother to C. M. l.. Wiseman, of this
city, was attacked by about forty rowdies,
led by two or three Indian Creek DULLES,
and most outrageously beaten. The only
offense of the boy was wearing soldiers
cap. They first knocked the cap Off and
then knocked the boy down, stamped his
front teeth out, and were only prevented
from killing him by the noble conduct of
DIR. 4ontz, who got the boy out of the
hands of the wild beasts and assisted him
to his office. DIR. Yontz SAYS he would
have been killed in ten minutes.
After the attack on young Wiseman, the
rowdies saw upon the opposite side Of the
street a returned soldier, who had been in
Libby Prison, and had lately arrived at
home, sick and emaciated. They rushed
towards the soldier, shouting, "There's
another of the blue breeches,' and would
| have beaten him to death had he not lodged
them and made his escape by running.
The only offense of these boys was that
one OF them wore a soldiers cap, and the
| other was soldier. What are the feelings
OF soldier, after having suffered in the
field and in the prisons of the enemy, to
return home and receive suchA welcome.

READMIssIoN AND REORGANIZATION OF

ceased to be, to elect Legislature and a

upon the discharge of all her old duties
and the enjoyment ofall her old privileges
