Feeling i'm the Army.

An intelligent member of the 35th Iowa,
who is placed in position to know whereof
he speaks, writes as follows concerning the
feeling in the army. Would it not be we'll
for tories to take warning?
feel more than ever like doing my whole
duty to my country. take pride in doing
my duty as soldier should, and can endure,
without murmuring, all that may be required
of me. No man can know, unless put to the
test, of what he is made; nor can he tell
what may be accomplished. Any one can
enjoy and appreciate the benefits of good
Government while all is peace and prosperity,
but that man who can quietly remain at home,
without good cause, and condemn and en-
deavor by precept to weaken the Govern
ment, when overtaken by adversely, is not fit
to livei No free thinking loyal people should
permit such men to pollute any community
by their vile presence.

TIE AFRICAN REGIMENTS. - Some of the
African regiments, upon the organization Of
which the President has determined, will be
employed to guard the banks Of the Missis-
sippi after it shall have been opened by our
fleets and armies The immense black pop
ulation resident on the great river will, when
freed and armed, be amply sufficient to pro-
tect peaceful commerce from molestation.-
Other African regiments will be employed to
garrison the forts below New Orleans and on
the coast which are exposed to the diseases
of Southern climate. Others will doubtless
be used to enforce the proclamation of free
dom for the benefit of their brethren. 1t is
surmised that Gen. Phelps will have an
African command.
This is the realization of Gen. Cameron's
plan of ayear ago, the unpopula,ity of which
at the time indirectly led to his withdrawal
from the Cabinet.

WThe Courier, to sustain its charge
that President Lincoln has ''trampled upon

IS Au0 OVu'sc', w SuSUsiu us charge
that President Lincoln has "trampled upon
one of the sacred provisions of the Constitu-
ton" in signing the bill for the admission of
Western Virginia, says the Constitution pro-
vides that mo new State shall be formed or
erected within the jurisdiction of any other
State" Had the editor not designed to
deceive his readers he would have given the
entire section 6, Art. w. from which he
quotes, which is as follows:
''New States may be admitted by the Con-
gress into this Union, but no new State shall
be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction
Of any other State, nor any State be formed
by the junction Of two more States, or parts
of States, ,clthowt the consent of the Legis.
latures Of the States concerned, as tceN as of
tho Congress"
Of course the consent of the only legal
Legislature Of Virginia as we'll as of Congress
was given to this measure Perhaps, howev-
er, the Courier thinks its friends in the rebel
Legislature Of Virginia should have been con-
suited about it. They and their allies at the
North are the only persons who have
found fault with the measure or been able to
detect anything unconstitutional in it.

Unexceptionable; !;

So much of Gov. Seymour's message as
contains the following language: "This
spirit of disloyalty must be put down. 1t is
inconsistent with all social order and social
security; with, the safety Of persons and
property. When the flood-gates of war were
opened, the Administration could not grasp
its dimensions, nor control its swoop. The
Government was borne along by the current,
and struggled as it best could with the
resistless tide. Few seemed able to compre-
hend its military and financial problems
Hence we are not to sit in harsh judgment t
upon errors in conduct or policy"
Will our loyal friend down the Avenue be
governed accordingly, inasmuch as the author
is his present political god? a

JACKSON AND MARTIAL LAVA single fact
will overthrow the four or five columns which
have lately appeared in the Journal in refer
ence to General Jackson's declaring martial
law at New Orleans When the old hero
spoke the city of New Orleans was threatened
with an attack from the flower of the British
army, and he declared martial-law only over
the territory where actual war continued
Lincoln has declared martial-law over all the
States-loyal as well as rebel-Courier.
You are, as usual, very much mistaken,
Judge your "single fact'' will do no such
thing; for one or two weighty reasons:
1st. There was no "actual war;" in the
sense of active hostilities, at New Orleans at
the precise time when General jackson
declared martial law. 1t was precautionary
measure in anticipation of the mischief that
might be attempted on the part Of those citi-
zens who were not in sympathy with the
national cause. t
I'd. II was exercised over loyal territory.
Sd. This being the case, it was in all
respects an exact parallel to the action Of
President tLincoln-the means beng the same,
the object the same, and the field of operation
the same-with this advantage in favor of the
President that in him is vested the authority
of commander-in-chief, while jackson was
acting under the limited authority of SUBJ
ordinate command.
- Now, when it is remembered that the
means employed by "old Hickory" for the
preservation of New Orleans were justified
and cordially endorsed by Democratic Con-
gress of that day, and adopted as cardinal
principle Of the Democratic party, does it not
betray the most loathsome degeneracy that
the organ of that party, in our day, while
protesting to do homage to the "sublime
principles of Old Hickory" cannot treat Of
the application of the same principles for the
preservation and safety Of the Union in terms
of the most ordinary decency, forbearance or
respect? If such q measure was necessary
in the presence of a foreign foe, how much
more necessary in guarding against the trea-
sonable Vaccinations of a domestic foe,
whose aiders and abetters are so largely dis
tributed and so intimately associated through
cut the loyal States. aaf

Consistency


Isa jewel, even among tories. We have a
distinct recollection of sundry speeches made
by E. H. Thayer, which were applauded with
much SPIRIT, declaring himself in favor of the
Constitution as it is, and the Union as it
was. We have also an idea, that in our
school days (halcyon hoursD we were led to
believe, that the old Federal Union contained
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hamp-
shire, Vermont and Connecticut ut,-that is to
say, the States last named were supposed
to belong to the Union as il ,oas. Were we
in error, then, when we understood Mr.. Thay
er to say, he was in favor of the Union with
those Puritanical States right where our
fathers put them? Why is it, then, that to.
day the said Mr.. Thayer is advocating a
separation of the West from New England
We reply, that the Union-C Constitution cry
was bid for votes from soldiers in the field.
Having been kicked out of camp by them, he
bares his heart so dark with treason, and we
are enabled to see the Kissing serpent in all
its horrid deformity. Was it worse for the
Charleston Mercury to advocate the Sc
cession of South Carolina from the Union
than for the Courier to advocate the seces-
sion of Iowa from New England? Or can
separation of the West from the East be ef-
fected without dissolution of the Union? Is
E. H. Thayer less guilty traitor than Alex.
Stephens, VIM. Yancy, jeff. Davis, or Geo.
N. Stephens? What should be his reward?
