The Abolitionists are constantly
warning the Democracy against the
vengeance that awaits them on the re-
!. turn of the troops from the field
They cite US the resolutions that have
boep adopted by the army as the feel
ing of the sol 1iers against the Demo
crats at home. How these army ex>
pressions are gotten up We have al
ready repeatedly shown. We have
now before US private letter, written
by member of the brigade whose res
olutions were published in the Com
mercial March, ID. 1t is addressed to
his brother, of this city. He says of
those resolutions:
"Considered as an expression of the
sentiment of the rank and file of this
brigade, tits bog US. 1t was gotten up
as q force put, and was so engineered
as to have the m en- understand if they
did not indorsc them they would do
worse. Now On instance: The reso~
Iutions were read on dress parade by
the Adjutant, and the men were re-
quired to vote. A Serg cant of CONS
pany B refused to vote and for that
crime (?) was reduced to the ranks |!
It is no use talk longer of LIBERTY,
for that thing is played out
That is the way expressions of the
army against Democrats are obtained.
The resolutions are those Of officers,
not Of the men, who, if they could
have their way, would express entries
" different views. Indeed, the Abo>
litionists themselves are much more in
danger of the vengeance of the rank
and file whom they return, than are the
Democracy, judging from the follow
ing extract from the Gin. Times Vicks-
burg correspondence. The writer, Mr..
Junius Brown says:
GA day or two ago most disgrace
ful riet occurred among a portion OF
the soldiers of General Logan's divis-
ison at Providence, the generating
cause being an inofensive negro, whom
the military rufians determined to
beat to death, because nature had con-
victed him of being an African. AT
first, two or three fellows began to
strike the contraband, merely because
they could, and in few minutes hum
dreds, if not thousands, of the soldiers
we're howling after, and would have
killed him, had not Captain Vogleson,
of the Commissary Department, inter-
fered and rescued the poor devil at the
point of the pistol.
"The mob, which at this time had
grown most turbulant and savage, turn
ed upon Vogleson, denouncing him as
an sAbolitionist,' 'nigger's brother,
a 'nigger thief, and indulgedin every
indccency of language and every
eoarseness of vituperation.
''The Captain stood firm, and he
preserved his GOODNESS, telling the en-
ragged soldiers that he would shoot the
first man who laid hands upon him, and
holding his revolver before him, finger
on the trigger. They pressed round
hin like wild beasts; they jeered; they
shook their fil,y fists in his face; they
taunted and brutally insulted him
every thing but strike.
"That they feared to do; though had
any one dared to offer the first blow,
they would have sacrificed him in their
fury. They would have torn limb
from limb the man who had feeling and
courage to step between an unfortu-
nate and innocent pariah and brutal
and cowarely mob.
"Vogleson saw his danger; that the
crowd were gradually surrounding him;
that he must soon be fclled by blow
behind, be trampled, crushed, rent and
murdered foully by hundreds of bestial
poltroons, who dared to call themselves
soldiers. He preserved his coolness
Z and his pistol, and slowly retreated to
the City of Madison. He gained the
stage-plank, walked to the bow of the
boat and ascended into the cabin.
"Guards were on the bow and on
the staging; but in moment the crowd
rushed lik torrent upon the trans
port after the Captain, and would have
followed him up but for the fixed bay
oncts that met their cleaning eyes on
tho stairways. They swore, yelled,
roared with disappointment, and, in
their bafiled rage, endeavored to stim-
ulate eachother to new violence, cry
ing, bring out the Abolitionst. Kill
the son of o - Hang the nigger's s
brother?' 81 sss a
aThe guard was strengthened. The
!, mob was given ten minutes to dispense.
IF they did not at the expiration of
that time they would be fred upon. -
They ieered at them, and hooted and
derided. But like all mobs they were
cowardly, and before half the period
had passed, they had sneakcd of, and
stood In knots and groups, no longer
menacing, no longer furious, no longer
formidable. @
"But for this decided course, the in
surgent soldiers would have murdered
the brave Vogleson, and allwho sought
