7vyE PRESIDENT Az GENERAL.
OF all the men in and about Washing
ton. ABRAHAM LINCOLN is the best fitted
to take command of the army in the yicin-
it5 Of that city; because he has d nicer
more comprehensive aud accurate idea OF
the difficulties to be overcome and the
yaluc Of the material ut his disposal, than
any one Of his advisers, civil or military.
Ills correspondence with Mcclellan, not
long since printed, shows, that, had his
ideas prevailed, the Peninsular campaign,
which cost d multitude Of men, never
would have been undertaken; that, after
the battle Of Malvern Hills, Richmond
vould hare fallen; and that, after Antic-
tam, the rebel army would have been cut
to pieces and destroyed, and the WAT vir-
tually ended. And now, with . staff well
up in the detnils Of the military art, each
Of whom would be willing to do his duty
for his country, forgetting for while the
icalousics and animosities Of the profession,
he would, in Hooker's place, do what no
other General has ever accomplished. We
say this with the more confidence because
we know that he is thoroughly acquainted
with the topography Of Eastern Virginia
every path, road, defle, mountain, stream
and wood is accurately fixed in his mind,
as we'll as the military relation and the
raluc Of one to the others; md because
whenever his notions of what should or
should not be, have been departed from
our armies have, just to the extent OF the
departure, been oyertaken with dis
aster. Our only apprehension would be,
that, just at the moment Of victory, his
kindness Of heart would impel him to call
halt lest the enemy should get hurt;
but this risk must be assumed; and in
spite Of it, we propose that OLD ABE
takes the rcins into his own hands; and
being in himself President, General-in-
Chief, and Secretary Of War, lead our
armies to victory. We sincerely believe
that he can do it. II he does not, who

Most encouraging letters have been re-
ceiycd from Hon. William Wall, late Rep
rcsentatiye in Congress from Brooklyn,
New York, strongly favoring the project
Of our Canal Convention, and saving that
Brooklyn will be YER fully represented in
that Convention; also from lion. 4. II.
Rice, Representative in Congress from
Boston, promising as full delegations from
the Board Of Trade, Corn Exchange and
other like associations; also from Hon.
Washington Hunt Of New York, speaking
strongly in favor Of the Convention and
its objects afeny other like assurances
have likewise been received.
In the way Of delegates, nearly every
town in the Northwest will be represented
by chosen men. Rockford has just an
pointed some titty delegates; Ogle county
has appointed sixty delegates, Sc.
In fact, it may be reasonably anticipated
that this will be the greatest convention
ever held IN the United States certainly

General 1EglftcrfieId.

Tho New York Herald has 1aborcd since the
fight at Charlottesville, to impair the cont
dence Of the army Of the Potomac in its lead
er, and to SOW Iisscnsions among its Geue-
rails. To accomplish this, it filings charges
against officers whose skill and bravery have
been tested in dozen fiery ordeals. Take,
for instance, the case Of Major General Butter
field, whom the Nera|d falsely charges with
sta, ing out Of the late fight from motives OF
his own. The truth Of the matter is, that he
remained at Headquarters under the written
orders Of General Hooker. During the fight
on Sunday, our correspondent SOW q dispatch
from General Butterileld to General Hooker,
begging to be permitted to leave the post
assigned him, that he might move to the
front and share the fortunes and fate Of the
army on the actual field Of conflict. General
Butfertield's record At Hanover Court House,
Gainrs' Mill, Malvern, Groycton and Fredc-
sicksburg, should have protected him from
such an assault It Is surely time that this
s't fire in the rear'' upon brave men In the
field, should be frowned down By public
opinion.

Female Decentralization In the
South.

All the returned Federal prisoners from the
South, speak Of the fearful decentralization Of
the women in the Confederate States. They
seem to hayc discarded entirely the natural
dclicacy Of the sex, and to assume the charac.
ter Of drabs and tishwomen. a case in point
has Just been developed in New Orleans. On
the 9th inst, n young lady named Bell, who
belongs to the uppcr-tcn, and moves in the
most fashionable sccesh society, was arrested
for grnssly insulting Federal soldiers in the
streets Of that city. In passing to seutry,
she came to full stop, and, looking him
square in the face, exclaimed in high voice,
"you s'ink," and adding other insulting re-
marks. She then moved of to church where
flags were suspended over the sidewalks on
both sides Of the street. Looking up, she
cursed the bunting nudibly, and, gathering up
her petticoats, walked out into the roadway
and went by. An officer, who had been watch.
ing her proceedings, soon afterward ARRESTED
her. She abused him in the yilest terms on
the way to the lookup, using expressions that
would have disgraced d1ab.

guns for troops in the field; and We arc
sorry to be compelled to say that in IS
philantlropic and humanitarian aspects it
was never considered. But more than half
the opposition to the Government and the
war is today the effect Of what the Cop
pcrheads have taught, and Of the belief in
duecd by their teaching that the freedom
and the equality of the negro arc
the sole object for which the Administra-
ton and the armies contend. And such is
the industry and the skill Of those who
have spread this idea, that in whole
counties Of Illinois, aud We doubt not Of
Indiana as well, the man who should dare
to proclaim that emancipation was an Incl
dent OF hostilities, seized upon by the Gov
eminent as the means of shortening the
contest and saving human life, aud that it
has neyer had and does not now, SO far IS
the Government is concerned, have the re-
motest reference to the theories Of Garri-
son or the practices Of the Southern ANAL
gnmationists, would be hootcd at as an
Abolitionist, for whom hanging would be
q proper fate. It is due to the good cause
that this error should, in so far as the loyal
men Of the land can aid in that work, be
corrected; and that the thousands and tens
ct thousands of men who hare, perhaps
with good Intentions, been led into the
quagmirc to which Copperheadism tends,
be set right. The war is not for the
Negro, either as freeman or slaye.
According to the theory upon which the
proclamation was issued-a theory that is
still the basis Of Governmental acl;on-the
slave is property according to the local
law-a help and a source Of strength to
the enemy, and as such the proper object
of seizure and impressment into the place
in which he can.serve good cause
best. The men who deprccate ana1gamn-

sw1rpLE TRAPS ron SOLDIERS.

SN1NU1E TRAPS FOR SOLDIERS
There are some men such rascals in the
grain Of them, that they can't help it, and
picking and stealing, and swindling, are
as natural to them as the eating Of dinners
when they can get them. There never was
q country, nor q time, that was free from
these rapscallions, and until DR.. Cummings
millennium arrive, and is in full blast, nc
suppose there never will be.
But that is no reason why We should
sit still, and allow them to spin their
webs, and weave their nets, like so many
yillainous black spiders, in which to catch
the unwary honest, the unwise citizen, or
tie poor soldier with Government Green
backs in his pocket, every one Of which he
has won at the cannon's mouth, risking lis
life for lis country. If they were made
10 swindlc, so were all good folks made to
tllwart, al law to punish them; and it will
60 hard with them, but they shall get the
dues Of their miscreancy.
The latest and biggest attempt which We
have heard Of in this swindling direction,
has its origin in the highly moral and vir-
tuous city Of St. Louis; aud if We may
judge by the tall advertising ofthc scheme,
running through several columns Of news
paper longitudes, the bully Sharp
crs must have found their game
unusually taking aud profitable. They
call FOR no less than fifty thousand human
geese-in the shape Of "ladics, young men,
and Eoldicrs'-to come unto them that
they may be plucked of their feathers, and
they announce that they will not only do
this without money and without price, but
will pay the geese any sum from five to
twenty dollars a day for the privilege Of
doing it. In plain terms it is u big icwelry
scheme devised to swlndle all who are
capable Of being swindled, but particular
II retiring soldiers Of the two years and
the nine months class; and the swind1crs
appeal to them with most pathetic unction,
"send one dollar and stamps and you shall
hare by return Of post, beautiful piece Of
jevelry which you can sell any where
amongst country pumpkins, for three OF
four times the amount. Send q dozen
stamps, and you shall have book Of ines
timable value, which will tell you how t.
do a profitable trade, with little or nj
capital, and one Of the svindlcrs Of tht
jewelry firm in St. Louis will gladly s.
your halves" This, and great dea1. NOR,
Of the same sort, and with the same objec
in view, namely to suck the money from tn
| pockets of those who will let them.
There are SO many impudent schemes Q

employed people, that it is right they SHOULD
be put upon their guard, and anything hail
