The Last Card Wilt be Trump !?
Editor

The secessionist on the other side of the
line, and the sympathisers with secession
on this side Of the line, are doing. their very
best to create and extend division in the
North. The hope of rebellion is fixed On
this; can strong public feeling be created
and extended in the states which have
: hitherto sustained the Administration, not
so much in favor Of the instruction, that
would be too glaring, but against the Adj
ministration and its management OF the
war, that would be the very thing. Divide
the people divide public sentiment; let
the people in the North get discouraged
get distrustful-get sick Of the war; let
them be brought to the point where they
will cry stop, and be willing to have peace
Fl on any terms, and then secession has gained
it's end, and rebcllionwill triumph Knights
Of the Golden Circle are perambulating the
country on this business, and knights OF
the I. G.B., that is, Inflated Gass Bag, are
perambulating the country on this business
also, and Knights of very small proportions,
who do not travel the country much, are
engaged in the same trade, A few days
ago we heard two of these Knights Of very
small proportions trying to initiate some one
that did not appear to be much Of Knight
Of any kind, unless it be Knight Of indus
try and sustain the best interest Of the
country, into the doctrine Of disgust for The
Administration How they scowled; what
pictures they did draw Of the imbccility Of
the man Lincoln, and Of the thieving officers
at Washington, and the dastardncss Of army
contractors, and the weak headedncss and
weaker heartcdncss Of the leaders Of the
war, and the accommodating Of taxes and the
crushing of the people, and the ruin Of the
country if these things should much longer
continue. The knight of industry however,
did not seem very easy to be converted, and
finally he said: 'The rebels begun it,
slash them slash them! ! have got few
bushels Of wheat yet, I'll give it all to have
them well slashed'

We, The undersigned, officers Of I'd
Wis, Vol. Cavalry, take pleasure in
saying that we have been acquainted
with Col. Thomas Stephens since the or
ganization Of the Regiment, and have
found him to be an officer and a gentle
man Of worth and merit Having no
ticed in the correspondence Of one styl-
ing himself "Brick' in the "Chudgo
Time" and "lMl,caukee Ae,cs," and al
so in the "Lo crosse Democrat" over
the signature M NJ. p" insinuations
against the honesty, integrity and abili-
ty of Col Stephens, we feel it but due
him as a matter of right and justice to
so worthy an officer, that we should take
this method Of publicly refuting said
charges, aud stating that such insinua-
tons are void of all truth.
1t is proper for US to add that the au-
thor of these communications, NJ M
Pomeroy, was ordered out Of this regi-
ment by Col. Stephens for what he, as
well as ourselves, regarded as a proper
cause. Hence his INSCRIPTIONS hostili-

hand to hand conflict and the carnage
was perfectly frightful, the rebels IN
many instances litteraly throwing them
selves upon the muzzels of our guns.

THE BASES OF OPERATIONS The
opposing forces are arranged as fol
lows:
l. General Lee confronts Major
General Hooker on the Rappahannock
and defends the approaches to Rich
mond
2. General Beauregard commands
the defences Of Charleston against Maj
or General Hunter.
3. Lieutenant General Bragg de
tends the approaches to East Tennessee
against Major General Rosecrans army
f. Lieutenant General Pcmberton is
charged with the defenscs Of the Missis
sippi River at Vicksburg, against The
attack Of Major General Grant.
These four are bases from which
large armies operate, and upon which
decisive results are likely to be obtain
ed.
There are other minor ones, where
smaller armies operate, but they will
partake more Of the nature Of predatory
raids than regular campaigns. In this
category might be placed
J. Lieutenant General D. II. Hills
and Major General Fosters respective
commands in North Carolina.
2 Brigadicr General Les and Ma
ior General Banks forces near Baton
Rouge and Port Hsd8on and
3. Lieutenant General Sterling
Prices and Major General Curtis forces
in Arkansas.

Col Thos Stephens
I'd Wis. Cav, Memphis, Tenn.
Dear SIR Your letter Of 18th inst.
have just been received, wherein you
state that some unfriendly person has
written to the Chicago Times, accusing
you of grave offences, such as plumber
in private property, and sending home
articles of value thus obtained. / need
not say to you that | give no credences
to any such accusation. During theen-
tire period of your stay at Helena your
regiment composed part of my com
mand' and during that time your whole
course was such as become an officer
So far as / know, you always by precept
and example discountenanced everything
like pillage or plumber among the men
Of your command. ] have never heard
it allcdged that you were yourself gull
ty Of any act Of that kind. Had it
been true [ should no doubt have heard
Of it. | do not believe that you have
appropriated private property in this
country to your own private use to the
value of a penny.
It strikes me that you are entirely
too sensitive. If you expect to go
through this war without meeting with
misrepresentation and abuse from any
where, you are mistaken I would not
advise you to take any notice of what
may be said to your prejudice, but con-
tinue to do your whole duty, and your
reputation will take care Of itself.
Very truly Yours.
