says this is an admirable document. Indicative OF
military genius, great forecast, apd abounding in
maxims which show that the writer has studied
the best works in his profession. It's a criticism
worthy of Napier's celebrated work on the war
of the Peninsula from 1907 to 1914. Five im-
portant points are clearly established: lst, the
rapid movement from Nashville to succor and TO
save Grant at Shiloh; I'd. the mastery vigor
with which he moved TO keep pace with Bragg's
invasion Of Kentucky; Sd, the prudence which
defeated Bragg's design in connection with the
attack OH Munfordsville, 4th, the rescue of Louis
vile aud the battle of Perryvile where want OF
concert on the part of division commanders alone
saved Bragg's force from total capture, and 9th,
the adroitness and caution which forced Bragg q
Superior army out OF Kentucky; which 1t was de
signed to permanently occupy. Such General

How Democrats are Converted.

Major William L. Cole, editor of the Irish
American, and late Paymaster in the United
States Army, published All account of the efforts
of the Administration agents to manufacture
party capital out of his Paymaster's appointment,
which throws considerable light on the surprising
conversion of many notable Democratic officers
and Generals in the Radical programme. Ii
seems that last winter Major Cole, after his ap-
pointment, met with once jealous Democrat,
but now extreme Republican, who is also Clerk
of the Senate, in Washington, when the follow
ing conversation. as related by Major Cole, en-
sued:

The Enrolment I'm Iudiana.


H.a... ArDiAeArOLicp ouuc
Over 1000 troops are in Sullivan and Greene
counties, enforcing the enrolment and arresting
deserters. M .f ..f r,s..f fa.-. ~. ~
We find this dispatch in the New York Tri-
bune. and we presume It was published in all the
other leading Eastern journals of the day succeed
ing its date. From the tenor of this telegram
one would be led to suppose that there was ex-
traordinary resistance to the enrolment in Sulli
van and Greene counties to require a thousand
soldiers to protect the officers when engaged in
that duty and in arresting deserters. What
would be the astonishment of the leaders of these
newspapers if they should be told-which they
will not be--that resistance to the draft what
ever has occurred in these counties! fl.
Our readers will remember that some days ago
we had information through special telegrams
from Indianapolis, that there we're thousand
men assembled in Monroe county to resist the en-
rollment- Upon seeing this we at once request
ed a friend at Bloomington to send US full par
ticulars of these extraordinary demonstrations OF
the Monroe Copperh sads. He sent us the facts
which were published, showing that all the foun-
dation for this story was that three men had got
possession of An enrolling officers papers and re-
fused to deliver them up, and that these and
about dozen other noisy men had been arsested
A few days subsequent to this another Indi
annapolis especial" stated that affairs in Monroe
hundred men were in arms to resist the enroll
ment, &c. Thinking there must certainly be
something in this, we put ourselves in communi-
cation with Republican gentleman in Monroe
county, with request for the particulars, who
replied that "there was not one word of truth in
the story"
So far as Sullivan county is concerned, it is
true that an enrolling officer worthy citizen
was foully murdered by some cowardy assassin.
But it is believed to have been done by per-
sonal enemy. and not because of the duty in
which the unfortunate man engaged. No
resistance to the enrolment had taken place in
Sullivan previous to the murder nor has any
taken place since. that we have heard. of. The
same may be said of Greene If thousand sol
diers we're sent to these counties it is not because
they were necessary TO enforce the enrolment,
but because. as We suppose, it was necessary to
give employment to the troops.
The sending abroad of such dispatches as the
above is act of injustice to the State. which
can not be too severely condemned. Resistance
to the enrolment is an offense punishable under
the law which makes the enrolment necessary,
and in the very few instances in which resistance
was offered squad of soldiers was all that was
necessary to make the necessary arrests. Why a
whole regiment sent to Monroe county, aud
afterward to Sullivan and Greene, where no re
sstance was offered. we hope the military author
tiles will be able to satisfactorily EXPLAIN n ew

the great advantage of riding back from Fred

am tempted to lift the veil, and reveal portions
of his conversation, IL is because feel that all
who speak the English language should be ad-

citation of one who does honor to our race The
General bewaed the comparative impunity with

In answer to my remark that, judging from the
wholesale capture OF arms and accoutTements, at
least one quarter of Hookers army must be i'm

SIR: l have authority to make the following
proposition on behalf of the leading anti-slavery
men of America, who have sent me TO this

If the States calling themselves 1.-The Confed

pate the negro slaves in those States, such eman-
cipation to be guaranteed by liberal European
commission, the emancipation TO be iiat gurated
at once, and such time be allowed for its COM
pletion as the commission shall adjudge TO be
necessary and just and such emancipation once
made to be irrevocabIe-then the Abolitionists
and anti slavery leaders of the Northern States
shall Immediately oppose the prosecution of the
war on the part of the United States Govern
ment and, since they hold the balance of power,
will certainly cause the war to cease by the i'm
mediate withdrawal of every kind OF support
from il.
| know that the ultimate decision upon so
grave proposition may require some time; but
meanwhile / beg to be informed at your early
convenience, whether you will lend your inau-
ence in !avor of a restoration of peace and the
independence of the South upon the simple basis
of the emancipation of the slaves.
Any guarantee Of nv own responsibility and
my right to make this offer shall be forthcoming.

Gen. meade--Hfs Birth Place, ac.
Three of the morning journals have rushed to
the conclusion-two of them with Sarcasm, that
because Gen. Meade was born in Spain, he cannot
compete with President Lincoln, or any other
ambitious General, for the Presidency; and, there
fore, that he (Meade) will have fair play. both in
court aud camp. These morning journalists have
but half examined the Constitution and the adju-
dcations, in like cases thereon:
"No person Isays the Constitution) except a
natural born citizen. or citizen Of the United
States at the time of the adoption of this Consti-
tuition, shall De eligible to the Office Of Presi-
dent"
The father of Gen. Meade was an American
born citizen of the United States, temporarily
resident In Spain, where the new General was
born. The law contemplates such birth as
within the United States, and relieves the pei son
thus born, from the disqualification of the Con-
sttution. Otherwise, every son OF a minister or
a consul, OF of merchant or shipmaster, ETC.,
thus born abroad, would be subject to this, and
other like disqualfcations Of the Constitution. =
