CAMP NEAR MANCHESTER, TENN.,l
August, 1868.
Mr.. Mercs,-Will you permit con-
slant reader of "the Uilioh," and SOL
der who has been in DE field ever since
the lamented Gen. Nelson first entered
the State of Kentucky with command,
to occupy brief space in your columns
with suggestions on the most important
subject before the country at this time
that of recruiting and equipping new
troops The most important, because
our success or failure in the prosecution
of this war is wrapped up in it. Let us
relax our efforts, give the enemy time to
recruit, drill and equip another 100000
men, and wo are safe in predicting the
loss of the good results that should fol-
low the successful campaigning Of the
past ten months. Then, we will have to
withdraw our lines again, and eight
hard, and, God alone knows how long,
to regain them. We. want men more
men and we want them now! We
must not be gulled by the clap-trap about
the rebellion being exhausted We must
not suffer ourselves to be, deceived and
led into supinensss by the hurrahing
and wild joy excited by the complete
success Of the Originally 'castor-
expedition, by the success of Meade
over Lee, and of Shackelford "or any
other man" over Morgan. These should
be only ".he beginning of the end - We
want our thinned ranks filled up, and
then-the command, forward % This
is the time to be alarmed. Success az
brilliant as we have had, may lead to
apathy. God forbid that we should re-
lapse into such a state. Oh, that our
rulers may prove TO be the men for the
oeeAsiOnl Oh, that loyal men every
where may be awake 10 the necessity of
bringing ont the fighting strength of the
NAtioni Oh, that two hundred thousand
patriots Of the loyal States were ready
to-day TO spring 70 arms and step into
ranks We could use item all, and be-
cause we could use them we need them.
Noi0 is the time to prepare the blow that
will crush the rebellion. We have not
day 60 waste Time is what the rebels
arc praying loudly for. Let them pray
in vain, while we strike, strike, strike,
with all the power Of the ayenging
giant Yours, for victory,

The Commission appointed to investi-

out of cotton speculations in the West
aud Southwest have made a report.
which is now in the.hands Of the sacre-
tary of War. 2.
We understand that the report impli-
oates ono Of the Major Generals Of the
army and other officers of rank, all of
whom have made large sums of money by
the operations. From the known hatred
OF the Secretary to such transactions, it
is safe to say that sure and speedy JUS
tice will be meted out to the offenders.

The third question, provision for the
Southern War Debt is one on which we
have not bestowed sufficient reflection TO
have q very definite opinion, although il
is obviously one of the things 10 be con
sidered in the dissolution Of the Con-
federaoy. II is a matter which concerns
the South more than il concerns us. If
distributed, and assumed by the several
rebel States, it will make the pressure
of State taxation so heavy as 10 seri-
ously impair their ability 10 pay their
proportion of Federal taxes. Whether
tae exchange Of Confederate scrip at its nlayLet
value, for U.qitea States bonds would not, by
its tendency TO produce good feelings,
save an equivalent expense in maintain
ing troops in the South, is q question on
which IL is premature TO hazard any
opinion. GOO

SIR: In your speech published in the
Cincinnati Gazette of the 18th inst. you
make the statement that in your opinion
one regiment of good Democrats could
put TO flight all the colored troops that
have been enlisted by the President OF
the United States. In order to test your
sincerity, / make to you this proposition,
presuming you to be one of the good
Democrats referred to: My mother was
an African woman, my father iolite man,
one Of the .frd families Of the South
am, therefore, of that class of persons TO
whom you refer, so far as lineage is con-
cerned furthermore, am less in stature
and of less weight than yourself, being
somewhat older. | propose, therefore, in
order to test the question of prowess, to
fight you, in any manner aud with any
weapons, and at any time which will
suit your convenience, in order to set at
rest and finally dispose of this much
agitated question.

Maj. Gen. Rosecrans having authori-
zed the employment of contrabands as
officers servants, and directed that they
be paid by the Quartermasters, General
Meigs, Quartermaster- General, has raised
the question as TO the propriety or legal
ity Of such payment. Dr. Brodhead,
Second Controller Of the Treasury, has
decided that il is not legal TO pay for
such service out Of the appropriation for
the Qusrtermaster's Department., but that
the funds must come from the appropria-
ton for payment of the army.
So says the dispatch Of the Associated
Press II is not impertinent TO remark
in this connection thatit is currently re-
ported that the contrAbands impressed
months ago to work on the forts at this
place, have never received one dollar for
thsir labor. This applies not only to
slaves, but to free negroes Men who
have large families dependent on them

THE Washington Republican and other
newspapers edited by friends Of General
Hooker have taken advantage of the publ
catou of General Halleck's official report
to claim that the battle Of Gettysburg was
in point of fact won by Hooker, that is,
that General Meade merely carried out the
plans Of his predecessor. This is clearly
absurd. When Hooker gave up the command
it was not known by either general when
or where the battle would be fought 1t
was finally brought on almost accidentiy.-
General Meade was pressing in the direction
of Carlisle Pa. to form junction with the
militia under General Couch, while General
Lee was aiming for bo til Baltimore and
Washington. The rival armies came into
collisionat Gettysburg, where neither wish

Whereas, The President in his message
delivered to this House on the 9th inst,
and in his recommer dation to the people to
assemble at their. places of worship to give
thanks to God for recent victories, claims
that the Union cause has gained important
and substantial advantage, and '
Whereas, In view of these triumpbs, it
is no longer beneath our dignity nor dam
gerohs' to cur safety to evince generous
magnanimity becoming great and power
full people by offering to the insurgents an
opportunity to return to the Union without
imposing upon them degrading or destruct-
i've conditions; therefore, II Z
Resolred, That the President be request
ed to appoint three Commissioners who shall
be empowered to open negotiations with
the authorities at Richmond, to the end
that this bloody, destructive, and lnhuman
war shall cease, and the Union be restored
upon terms OF equity, fraternity and equal

SIN accordance with our law, and the
general orders of the department, the "a
tions of the prisoners are precisely the same,
in quantity and in quality, as those served
out to our own gallant soldiers in the field,
and which have been found sufficient to
support them in their arduous campaigns,
while it is not pretended by the enemy that
they treat prisoners by the same generous
rule. By An indulgence perhaps unpecre-
dented, We have even allowed the prisoners
in our hands TO be supplied BY their friends
at home with comforts not enjoyed BY the
men who captured them in battle. -
