To THE CoLoRED MES OF Omo--I lave been
in Washington for the last twenty-five days
trying to learn if colored troops were to be used
and ifso. to apply for authority to raise one or
more regiments. Being encouraged by Sena-
tors Sherman, Sumner, Pomeroy, Lane Secre-
tary Chase, and others, i fled an application
but could not get definite answer. Butthrough
the kindness and influence ofJudge Spaulding.
am permitted to say that the Secretary of War
said that within thirty days camp win be es-
tablished at Harper's Ferry. for the reception OF
colored troops, where they will be organised and
drilled by competent persons, nor did he have
any objection to its being made known. am
advised by high authority To 60 through the
State and get the names of the members of the
colored companies now organized who are will
ing to enlist, and assist in organizing others
May not hope TO have the hearty co-operation
of all true lovers of freedom2 / think it need
but to be mentioned to cause every patriotic
heart to beat with hope. Coiored men of Ohio,
sow or never is the time to give the e TO the fell
imprecations of your enemies, exhibit your 10y
asty to the government, and prove to the world
that you can make 6rGVe and efficient soldiers. i
believe you will prove yourselves equal to the

what ofThIs1

The New York Evening Post, after sta.
ting the signs of decay in the rebellion
ranks at Richmond and the South generally,
such as the great depreciation Of the Con
federate curreney--the inability to purchase
supplies, compelling the army to seize four
at the mills, fixing their own price, and
paying in promises 1.-The manifest resistance
Of the people to farther seryice--the peces-
sisy Of employing Indians and bloodhounds
to hunt down Union men who fee from
transcription farther necessity ofcnroll-
ing the erepspts as home-guard to hold
the people in sutjection, and the severity
of the military authorities in the punish
ment Of desertion, now largely on the iu-
crease, adds the following curious and
significant piece OF information, which We
beg our readers TO make a note Of: 2.
awe are told that letters have recently
been addressed TO leading Democrats 10 tho
North, by persons in Richmond, begging
them not to oppose the prosecution Of the
war; that tho overthrow Of Davis and his
clan is now the only hope Of free govern
ment in the South itself; that as yet little
can be done openly at the South in the
way ofresisting his predomiuance ;and that
the loyal legious Of the Northwest must
make their way to the very presence Of the
despot, overthrowing his armies as they ad-
vance, in order to libeTate the people. We
have seen mono Of these letters, nor do We
know that they had any effect 10 detern1i-
ming the recent course Of many leading
Democrats, but we think there Is nothing
improbable in the statement"
