A PROTEST.

70 n. Ek!or Of N. WAg;
Through your valuable paper, allow me to call tue a.
tcnon of the officers Of the army who contemplate re-
signing their commission to paragraph No H. General
Order No a. issued from ihe Adjuant Generals Office
who places al officers who reSign or may be dropped
from the rolls and those who csshiered by courts
martial back in the ranks privaes. 1t is, indeed
very strange that such order should have been ied
by any QUO protesting to know what is best for the
vice. How many officers would after having been forced
into the ranks in their former command make good sol
ders? Not one in thousand. Their pride and ambi-
ton would be destroyed. They would be laughed and
jeeEsd at By all those who disHksd them, whom thew
once commanded thereby cause eternal depression to
those, Who If allowed 70 go to some other command
woad make good soldiers. There are many heightened
gentlemen who resign from feelings of resentment that
they are not respected by their superior officer as they
should be- and to place these back in ranks where
the officer whom they wished shun would have double
power to spit his vengeance upon him, is shame and
disgrace which people should tolerate. If this law
is enforced let no more be said about Lincoln tyranny
Federal despotism for We will have much at home
as We can manage at some to spare. JUSTICE

CINCINNATI, Oct. S.-This merning two
finely dressed individuals, stopping at the
Burnett House, were arrested by the milf
itary authorities, by means of intercepted
letters, on charge of being here to burn
steamers. They stated to the Government
detective who inveigled them into the trap,
that detail from Lees army, consisting
of eighteen to st. Louis, ten to Louisville,
and eight TO Cincinnati, were sent north
to set fire and burn all the steamboats, on
the rivers. Their disclosures are impor-

here and elsewhere.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. S.-Gen. Schofield. after
consulting with steamboat owners, has is
sued an order as will prevent the recur-
renee Of steamboat fires. A military pa
troll is TO be stationed, day and night, upon
the levee, and four watchmen are to be on
board all the time-one on the upper deck,
one on the cabin deck, one on the lower
deck, and one in the hold. All skiffs and
small boats are taken possession Of by the
military, and will not be used, except by
special permit. Insurance companies had
previously put up their insurance rates to
25 per cent, the policy to cover only two
thirds of the value. r..-,...
