Col. Thomas .. Allen.

1t will be seen by the following that the
fame of Col. ALLEN, of the Wisconsin
9Th, has reached the hub of the universe"
and that the credit of his origin is claimed
for New England
To the Editors Of the Boston Daily Id
uertaser: You speak of the stormlng OF
Marye's Heights as "a question in which
New England had an interest" 1t is set
tied in way in which New En gland can
not complain. Col. Thos. S. Allen, of the
5th Wisconsin, is thorough New Eng.
lander, except in birthplace. He is son
of Rev. Asa S. Allen, of Black Earth
Wis. , who was himself native of Med
field, Mass. the fifth in the direct de-
scent from the original settler upon the
farm now occupied by his brother, Ellis
Allen.
Col. Allen entered the service early in
the war, from anti-slavery conviction, as
Captain in the Second Wisconsin. He
was promoted to Major for gallantry at
Bull Run, where he gathered the trag-
ments OF tie regiment, and saved its
standard. He received severe wound al
Antietan, and was shortly atterward ap
pointed 20 the command of the Fifth Wis
consin regiment. - Boston Daily Id

Tie President and the Radicals-He
Defines his Views.
Major-General Commanding.

For several months the Germans of the
West have been conducting a vigorous
campaign against the President, Cabinet
and General Chief of the army. The
movement came to a head few weeks
since by the assembling of a Convention
at st. Louis, composed not only of the
Teutonic but other radicals, who emphat.
ically informed MIR. Lincoln that he might
make his peace with them by:
/. Dismissng Secretaries Seward and
Blair from his Cabinet.
2. Driving Gen. Halleck out of Wash
ington.
3. Restoring Gems. Fremont, Butler and
Sigel TO large commands, and
4. Removing all the gradual emancipa-
tionists and Frank Blair men from public
office in Missouri, and appointing radicals
in their places.
JAMES TAUssIa, one of the committee
that waited on the President with these
propositions, reports his replies. Wesub.
join some portions of the report which are
of general interest:
L. The President said that it may be
misfortune tor the nation that he was
elected President. But, having been
elected by the people, he meant to be
PRESIDENT, and TO perform his duty &C.
cordlng to his best understanding, if he
had to die for it. No General will be re-
moved, nor Will any change in the Cabi-
net De MADE. TO suit the views or wishes
or any particular party, faction or set of
men. Gen. Haileck Is not guilty of the
charges made against him, most of which
arise from misrepresentation or Ignorance
OF those prefer them.
2. The President said it was mistake
to suppose that Gems. John O. Fremont
b. f. Butler and +. Sigel, are "systemati.
cally Kept out of command" as stated in
the fourth resolution; that, on the con-
trar. be fully appreciated the merits of
the gentlemen named; that by their own
acton they had placed themselves in the
positions which they occupied; that he
was not only willing, but anxious to place
them again in command as soon as he
could ind spheres of action for them
without doing Injustice to others, but at
present he "had more pegs than boIos 80
put them in."
3. As to the want of unity, the Presi-
Dent without admitting such to be the
case, animated that each member of the
CABINET was responsible mainly for the
manner OF conducting the affairs of his
particular department; that there was nj
Capitalization of responsibility for the
action of the Cabinet anywhere, except il
the President himself.
The President declared his preference
for gradual emancipation, and at the clos
