they should be to those who are recovering from

on this score There are hundreds of disabled SOL

they are, but an expense to the government, who
might be of benefit to their families if allowed to
turn home. We respectfully appeal to those whose
duty it is to attend to such business to be as lber

the good of the service as well as of the soldier
would be consulted by granting more furloughs.

Negro Soldiers.

The most persistent and magnificent lying of
this whole war has been in connection with the
conduct of the negro troops at Port Hudson. 1t
was the first occasion in which the negro troops
were engaged in the field, and the aboIitionists
seem to have had their romances all ready to cir
culate as soon as the fight was over. Even Gen.
Banks lent his name to add to the public delu-
sion. We have already given the official figures
Of the killed and wounded on that occasion,
which showed very extraordinary fighting; but
the following extract from a letter written by the
Colonel of the SD Nj ssachusetts volunteers set
ties the matter:
The reports of the fighting of negro soldiers
at Port Hudson on the 9th of May, which had
gained currency throughout the ~country-repre-
senting chem as having charged over the enemy's
paraPets, leaped over their siege guns, bayOneted
tie gunners, thrown away their own guns and
seized the foe with their hands, tearing their flesh
with their teeth, and finally retreating, leaving 600
OF their number, out Of eight hundred. dead in the
renehes-were gross exaggerations. And l re
pestit here, they were gross exaggeratiOns, and
every officer and private in the department who
understands the facts at all knows that they we're
gross exaggeratiOns. | furthermore said in the
presence of gentlemen at Cairo, when speaking
OF the comparative merits of white soldiers and
black. that ! was of the opinion that there was
no race of men existing which made better sol
diers than the genuine Anglo Saxon; that the
Anglo Saxon. | was satisfied, made a better sol
der than the African. | still adhere to that opin-
ion; but | do not wish to be understood by this
a. opposing the use Of negro soldiers. Far from
il. lam decidedly in favor, and have been since
the commencement OF the war, of employing ne.
g-Oes (and as many of them as possible) to the
best poss BILE advantage to the cause, as fast as
they can be induce 10 come within our lines.
But whether they can be made Of better service
70 Us as soldiers or as labOrers-with guns in
their hands instead of spades and curry combs"
is a question; but, at the same time, / recognize
il as being a question for the Government to de
termine. and hot for me. That negro soldiers
rendered most signal service in the trenches be
fore Port Hudson, no one acquainted with the
fact will deny; but that they there fought like
devils. performing wonders, either with the bay
onet or with their "teeth," is what | have no
reason TO believe.

We publish this morning Mr.. Comptroller Nc
CuLLocH's explanations and comments in regard
to the National currency act. This remarkable
production is worthy of perusal. 1t exhibits
most clearly the determination of the present ad
ministrntion to break down all State banking in
stitutions and build up an overshadowing political
money power in their stead. We firmly believe
that this grand paper currency bubble is bound to
burst, causing wide spread ruin. but it is a part
of the scheme inaugurated by the leaders of the
Republican party to concentrate power in the
Federal GOVERNMENT for the purpose of maintain
ing political supremacy and therefore none the
less reprehensible.

ssThe MILK m the COcOanuf.

The number of influences which the officers of
of a government with an immense army under its
control. can bring 20 bear upon the virtue of men,
is multitudinous. The present abolition pro-
gramme is to subjugate the southern half of the
Union. blot out all the State governments, con-
iscate the property and distribute the spoils
among the followers of the party in power. The
scheme is ms splendid and illusory AS il is fatal
and cnrrupt. Yet there are thousands affected
by mercenary motives, who are daily asSeptieg to
this plan Of revolution and plumber and are ready
to take part in the attempt to carry it out. We
have men of this class in our own midst-a fact
which sufficiently accounts for the new and ex-
traordinary view of ''loyalty" which ha, sud-
denly enlightened the minds of some of our citi-
zens whose patriotism is not equal to their intel
ligence.
To speak more plainly: We are creditably
informed that "A commission has been appointed
by the War Department to confscate and distrib-
ute Southern plantations and other Southern
real estate among the leading ~"'loyal" men of
the North. and that quite a respectable number
of the residents Of this State have had cotton
plantations assigned them upon leases for a nom
inal consideration. We state a fact generally
which will not be denied IN Milwaukee. and
which will throw some light upon the political
movements of the enemies of the Democracy.

A contemporary remarks that If this nation Is
ever restored to unity and glory Cand we firmly
believe il viii be), that restoration will be accom-
plished only by the united efforts of good, brave.
conservative men in the management of our
public affairs. men who will have the confidence
of the whole country. who viii rise above the
petty motives which control politicians, and who
will repeat to the people the counsels of the
Father ofthe country, in something of bis spirit.
Il viii then be seen that reason has something of
the same virtue that force is now supposed to
have. and that a rebellion is much more easily,
cheaply and permanently suppressed by measures
which unite force with reason and Cancellation for
the ignorant. the weak, the misled, and perhaps
even for the leaders themselves, than by the
mere exhibition and use of the force of a great
government. Stern Justice herself becomes more
effective. more powerful. more sublime in aspect
and even in terrors, when accompanied by the
tender and graceful form Of Mercy.

Announcer ConscriptIon Coming.

The consumption will not furnish under the
cIll just answered over a few thousand men,, and
most of these will run away on the first opportu-
nifty after reaching the army. 1t is now reported
from Washington that the President is preparing
an order for another draft, and that his proclama-
ton suspeDding the writ of habeas corpus has
special reference to the manner in which the new
conscriptiou is to be enforced. The one Just
through with has furnised money but not men,
and the Administrator in violation of the law
refuses to appropriate that money to the hiring
of men. By the ruling of the War
Office, every man who has paid $500 exemp-
ton is liable under every draft ordered just as
if be had never been drafted! We presume this
Is in further illustration of the benefits which the
poor man is to derive from the $500 clause
THAD. STEVENS and other leading legislators who
participated in the enactment of the CONSUMPTION
law say the payment OF $500 was designed to ex-
empt q man the same as if be furnished a substi-
tute. WHITING, HoLT. STANTON & Co. rule the
reverse. Under the new conscriptiOn the thous-
ands who have paid exemption would Of course
deny further liability and appeal to the courts for
protection. The suspension of the writ of habeas
corpus cuts them off entirely from this privilege,
or Father this right.
A significant fact in connection with this new
dispensatiOn is stated authoritatively by the New
York Express. Fort Lafayette is temporarily
closed, the prisoners having been all sent to Fort
Warren, Boston. Piles of brick and mortar sur
round the former work, and masons and car
penters are hard at work charging its prison
accommodations, &c. Perhaps in all these things
We are getting a foretaste of Gen. DIxs threat
when he said in his letter to Governor SEYMOUR
that the Federal force be was gathering in New
York would enable him "tO carry out such de-
eisi1e measures as shall leGue their impress upon
the mind Of the country for years to come"
