SKULKERS.

1t is rumored that proposition is to
be submitted 10 Congress authorizing
and requesting the President to call for
another large bevy of troops. We trust
the rumor is a mistaken one. Why not
much rather submit proposition compell-
ing skulking officers and privates to be al
their posts under the penalty of an ex-
change of worlds. 1t is an alarming evil
of our army that thousands of its officers
are absent, some under the farcical plea Of
recruiting-bah!
Others of i'll health, booming suddenly
we'll rs soon rs their cheeks are famed by
the breath of their native air-others Of
wounds, the slightest possible scratches
Spoken with no disparagement to those
truly suf1ering). Even at the late battle
of Fredicksburg hundreds of the shout
der-strapped gentry, nominally connected
with the army Of tho Potomac, were
passing their time in inglorious ease at
Washington, reveling amid the gay and
festive scenes Of the Capital.
Should Congress pass an act that no
officer shall be absent from his command,
without the most cogent reasons, it wo'd
work a mighty revolution for the better
in our army, if The officers are such men
as they should be, and j: not, let them at
once be relieved of duty and more de-
serving ones, if they can be found, placed
in their positions.
There is another prevailing practice con-
nected with our soldiery that begins to
assume serious proportions, requiring at
tention at once; and that is, disposition
of officers and privates to place them
selves during an engagement in such
position rs to fall into the hands Of the
enemy, willing prisoners Of war, that they
may be paroled, return home, or be re-
lievod of duty. AS disastrous and hui
initiating rs such a course may be, it is
a fact satisfactorily demonstrated that
there is no lack Of men in the service
that seemingly care not a fig for the
country, and are ready and willing to
adopt any and every scheme 10 rid them
selves of camp life.
1t is reported We have men in our
county, now at home, who are said TO DO

DEMAND FOR THE RESTORATION OF
Mcclellan FROM NEW QuARTER.-
The Washington Republican, one of the
organs of the administration, and hitber.
to an unbeliever in and bitter traducer of
Mcclellan, is out in favor of that Gene
rails restoration TO command. Here is
what it says in prominent article in
Tuesday evenings issue: u
"The city is full of rumors about
changes in the command of the Army of
the Potomac. We do not believe them.
If any change is made by the President,
it will be one that will satisfy the public
judgment and the public heart. We are
satisfied that the sound judgment Of the
people Of the United States, Of all par
ties, comedies soiM the hearty and en-
Musiastic call Of the army of tie Poto-
mac 10 be led to Victory by Gen. Nc
Clellan. Other expedients may be pos
sibly resorted to, but, in the light of to-
day, no wise statesman ought TO doubt"

FROM LANSING.
LANSING, january 10, 1868.


FRIEND BARNS
DEAR SIR: Matters at this point are
rather quiet since the election of Mr..
Chandler. The most exciting topic Of
conversation, among members of the Log
islature, is relative to the resolutions re-
ported by the Committee on Federal Re-
lations, and now proposed to be put thro'
under the leadership of the Chairman Of
that Committee. As they have already
been published in The Detroit Advetiser
and Tribune / do not quote them. 1t
seems to me truly unfortunate that this
committee did not see the propriety of
drafting resolutions more truly expressive
of the real sense of the country upon the
all absorbing questions now before IT,
Yet you may expect TO see them passed
by strict party vote, as reported, with
perhaps "slight variations"
There is one project, however, being
agitated here which I thought it might be
we'll to advise you Of. I allude to the
proposed change in the Ninth Judicial
Circuit by detaching the County of ALE
gan and attaching the same to the Fifth.
The proposition might, under some cir
cumstances, become reasonable ONE
Yet can not see how it can well be &C
>complished without going into general
revision of all the districts. AS you, Of
Ottawa County, are as much interested
in this proposed change as any one, felt
it incumbent upon me to advise you, in
order that all ip your vicinity or elsewhere
might have timely notice.
am reliably informed that Allegan
will strongly approve that or any other
measure, tho result Of which will place
her at the tail" of district composed
of older organized counties, and that the
people of the Fifth will be equally dis
satisfed-as it is said, and believe with
truth, that Judge Graves has already
more business in his present Circuit than
he can well attend to.
However, this scheme may be well and
advisable, and if so l should not feel JUS
tilted in opposing it. Yet, if no good
reasons can be given land as yet have
heard of none,) for the proposed change,
let il be resisted in such manner rs will
secure its defeat.
Yours Trnly,

confirms the capture of that post.
The attack was made or Friday even
ing by the gunboats, the land force de-
barking two miles below and marching to
the rear of the Notifications. The main
fort, which is represented as very strong,
surrendered on Sunday. The officers of
