~We publish in this number an
article from the Richmond Wing which
about disposes Of the military reputa.
tion Of General Mcclellan, if he ever
had any. This taken in connection
with Gen. Hooker's testimony before
the committee on the conduct of the
war-lesves not a shred OF character
for courage or loyalty left this most un-
fortunate General.
The article from the Wing is Bit
ter and scathing beyond anything ever
appearing in that vindictive sheet, and
were it not fully corroborated by the
testimony Of our own officers, we
should be inclined to look upon it as
the insane rawlings Of a mad-man.-
Alasl for General Mcclellan. His
bitterest enemy can pursue him no
farther. Henceforth he will be only a
subject OF seorn and contempt. The
blood Of thousands of our brave troops
Slaughtered on the cahominy. and
in the swamps around Richmond, will
in history rest upon his head. Who
will take up the defense? Where is
Sunset Cox? He demolished Gurley
by his sarcasm and ridicule, when
Gurley was simply stating facts. Can
be demolish the Richmond Wing so
easily? Let him try his hand. He is
a ct champion for the late Napoleon.

re- A copperhead from Raccoon
township being offered small sum ol
money in Gallipolis, one day last week,
objected to ''greenbacks." on the
ground that they were not constitutional.
"Congress had no constitutional su.
thority for making such money" They
could not make any money but "gold
or silver" He was willing, however,
to take State Bank of Ohio, but did moi
want any money that was not c ON.
s-t-i-t.u-t-i.o-n-a.l. On inquiry, Il
turned out that he had never seen OF
read the constitution, nor heard it read
and indeed was barely able to write
bis name. Yet he knew perfectly vel
"that greenbacks were not constitution.
al" Like the man, who being asked
to play the fiddle, said che had never
seen one. but he was perfectly sure he
could play" SO our butternut friend
was fully qualified TO decide constitu.
tiOnal question, although copy of that
much abused instrument had never
been in his hands. We cite this case
merely as specimen brick" of the
copperhead Democracy of this age, that
like barnacles. cling to the bottom Of
the old Democratic hulk, long after the
pilots have deserted, and left it to drift

mond, say that the present session Of the
Confederate Congress will be stormy
one. The question of reconstruction
will be fearlessly presented to the South
ern people by the conservative members
from North Carolina. A great many
members are said to be secretly in favor
Of the policy advocated by the conserva-
ives.
Gen. Garfield, of Ohio, will probably
be Chairman Of the House Military Com
mit;ee.
The situation before Charleston is un
changed.
Advices from Texas say the health of
our troops is excellent, and that they are
ready and eager 10 push into the inter
ior.
The enlistment of veteran volunteers
is progressing favorably.
The Gozette's Knoxville correspondent
says, our total loss during the late siege
is 1000. The rebel loss will reach 5,
600. auiaa
The rebel authorities refuse TO receive
any more provisions for our soldiers at
Richmond, stating as reason, that an
imputaion had been thrown on their
honor by the press and Government au.
thorllies, that they were not delivering
in good faith The goods forwarded the
prisoners etc., etc.
The Herald's Washington despatch
mentions the rumor that rebel com
missioner was en- route for Washington
to propose terms Of peace.
The Chronicle also publishes rumor
to the effect, that Alex H. Stevens and
FIVE others had come down to Fort Mon
roe, on flag Of truce boat, with propo,
sails for peace. They asked to be receiv-
ed in their official capacity as Commits
sions of the Southern Con(ederacy, but
this was refused We place but little
faith in the whole story.
A bill will soon be introduced in Con
gress TO muster 40 or SO idle Major and
Brigadier Generals, with their useless
stats, out Of the service. This will be
righteous movement. Send the whole
batch to Coventry, they won't be missed
any.

I Friends of the dead, friends Of the
prisoners, friends of the wounded, let
not the sad intelligence coming from the
battle field, cause your head to hang
down, or for you to faller one moment
in your purpose of giving up your
friends, to save your country. twill be
a pleasant recollection, to know that in
this, the day of thy country's need, that
you had a son, father, brother, or friend,
brave and patriotic enough to die, or be
a prisoner for her sake. Captain Lee
was left at Bridgeport, % miles back on
our march hi,her, quite unwell, have
not heard from him since.
Notwithstanding our division suffered
so severely in this engagement, and
were compelled to leave the field in
possession OF the enemy, yet I am happy
to have it tn say that they were COM
PEELED finally, by the timely approach
from the other side, Of portion of
Thomas army, TO flee, suffering much
more in men and supplies than we did.
it is estimated that in the several en-
gagements lately, we have taken about
$4,000 prisoners, besides heavy loss on
their side in killed and wounded. The
hope Of soon making Chattanooga per-
manent base of operations, is cheering.
That is going to facilitate Grants move
ments in the heart Of the coufederacy,
and strike mighty blow to the life of
the rebellion. Already his mastery
genious and powers, has been felt in
putting down the Rebellion, and soon
Bragg. like Pemberton of Vicksburg
noteriety, will be compelled to cry, 81
yield, yield, can hold out no more"
Yes this old hymn, will soon be given
out by old Bragg, and no doubt by that
time Jefferson and all his followers will
be only too glad to join in singing it.
But let the time be long or short, the
result Of the late elections show the
spirit of noble people, determined to
prosecute the war to the bitter end,
though only TO vindcrte their country IS
honor, to magnify and gloryfy her laws,
and re,establish the glorious, original,
and time hoDored stripes and stars, all
over her fair domain. This is a consul
nation devoully to be wished. For this
we work, for this we fight, for this we
pray. And God who has always bless.
ed the right, will most assuredly crown
US with perpetual peace and happiness.

hell-begotten crime as the will of the Fa
Their. Such men have not learned the
alphabet of justice,tor the first principles
of the moral law, if they believe that God
lis opposed TO freedom and in favor with
slavery and the Shareholders rebellion.
What are the facts /? just so long as we
Rugged the " institution" just so long
were our arms in measure defeated,
our horizon dark, and the future doubt
ful-just so fast as we haze been willing
to let 60 of the monster, and proclaim
freedom as heavens legacy to man, we
have prosperej, our sky has Frightened,
and our armies have been successful,
and no faster. Justice will triumph,
though it crush in its triumph all the
gods OF the so called Confederate govern
ment, and the Iam's Of the Amer lean
government. We are Of the same clay,
travelling the same way, with common
destiny. Slavery has had its day, and
the shareholders rebellion is the black
mans title deed of freedom. The bub-
bles of secession at the north may cry
"Abolitionists, Abolitionists," they are
the men, they are the cause of the war,
and SO they are indirectly, but to the
praise of these good men be it said, they
winked not at sin, or liugled the ear o.
pleasure, or caressed the heart Of FANCY
but with uncovered bosoms they stem
med the popular tide, denounced slavery
advocated righteousness, and the ligh
by them created, exposed the wicked
ness Of the wicked, and converts were
multiplied to the cause Of freedom. The
South have gone to work TO put out thi,
light, expecting help from the North
and agonizipg aid from abroad. Thu.
far they have failed. and as they hav,
poured on water, God has poured on OF
and the fire burns brighter and brighter
the light shines more brilliantly than ev
er. Arrest the progress Of civilization
they cannot, the nation will come fortl
from this grave Of blood. this field o
butchery, this helstorm of human pas
sion, wearing the pure white robe of in
nocence of freedom, it will rise high
and still higher in intelligence, in virtue
in righteous law and righteous govern
ment, until the anthem of freedom shall
be sung from every hill top, and ever,
valley, from every house and every ham
let in Americas broad land, until TIT
electric wires of Africa's redemption
shall whisper from pole to pole the gor
ious fact, 1.-The Lord God Omnipoten
reigneth." The integrity Of the nation
like the immutable rock, will stand for
ever, amid the surges of human passion
and the crumbling of human hopes
The magazine OF pent up human passion
will destroy the destroyer. Hope on
hope ever. The badges Of RUNE,
government are not to be worn by us i
faith 'ul to the government of our father
and the genius of American liberty
freedom.

most of our victories, we have suffered
more or less in killed, wounded, and
prisoners, the following which we find
to be the result Of the battle fought on
the 25th Of Nov. on Missionary Ridge,
near Chickamauga Station, on the At
lanta and Chattanooga railroad, in which
the first. second and third brigades of
our division participated, the latter be :

the 25th of November we drew clothing,
except Company A, which was .hen en-

n destitute condition, and the warm
blankets and long oyercoats came Just 10

when the regiment left Little Rock. On
the 28th November they drew their pay

Tie Goth of November. Thanksgiving
day, was generally observed An order
was issued from Headquarters 10th
Army Corps, requiring that that day
should be kept sacred-that the troops
should. on that day, perform no unnec.
essary labor, and that divine service
should be held wherever consistent with
the interests of the service. Merchants
closed their stores, printers were not to
be found in their offices, and business
men all seemed to unite in thanksgiving
TO Him who guides the beacon nation
through the troubled sea OF rebellion.
Quite number of our men who are,
and have been for some time, unfit for
military duty, because of i'll health, are
obtaining furloughs to visit their homes
in Iowa. Our Surgeon, DIR. j. E. San

weeks been unfit to perform the duties
of one in his position, secured leave OF
absence on the 9th OF November, to
visit his home in Iowa. Several of the
