on the subject of the proclamation, but if any
thing was wanting to make it so, it is now
found in this manifesto of wholesale butchery.
The threat, while it eXcites ridicule for its I'M
potency, at the same time gives additional
nerve to every arm that fights, and strength
ems the resolve of every man that this despot-
ic, bloody and causeless rebellion, with us
leaders, shall perish. If the traitors want to
increase the number of abolihOnists in this
army, let them continue to rave, and threaten
and execute. 1t will not take long to mako
not only this army, but every other, an army
that will leave nothing but utter subjugation
in its path, the Only thing that will perma-
nently subdue the rebellion. They will leave
neither traitors nor traitorous things.
While this army deplores the lack ofleader-
ship which has been its misfortune-while ,
many dSapprove the policy of the admnistra-
ton because they honestly do not believe in
it, let me tell you that these craven hearted
spoil-seekers at the north, who are bruiting
terms of dishonorable peace, meet with
denunciation from the fighting men of this
army more fierce than even the traitors whose
bullets are aimed az their hearts. The con-
tempt for an open enemy who means what he
says, Is far less than that entertained for those
demagOgues whose cries for peace, no matter
how dishonorable, are only intended as the
stepping stone to place and power Let James
Brooks, Fernando Wood, and Horatio Sey-
mour come down here, shoulder their mus
kets, and try picket duty tor week or two
such duty as we had on that murderous line
before Fair Oaks-and pledge my word that
their respect for the constitutional rights Of
traitors will be materially diminished, even if
they do not become open abolitonsts. Proc
lamaton or no proclamation, slavery is inev-
itably doomed and this army is Il practical
emancipation and abolition power, no matter
what the policy of the administration may be.
Whenever we touch foot of soil, it becomes
substantially free; and as the entire subjuga-
ton of the rebel states is the only alterna-
tive left, our conjoint armies will, in the end,
touch every foot of southern soil, and make it
free.

Stnte Military nInttorn.

dispatch from Boston states that statistics
at the adjutant generals office show that Mas
sachusetts has contributed for the war $685.
pa three years men, which, with the three
and nine months volunteers, and the $4,000
men furnished to the navy, makes nearly
100000 volunteers from this state If this
is true, we do not quite understand what has
been meant lately by the representations from
that office that our quota was not full Ac-
cording to the governors message, the num-
Der of three months men was 1886; and the
figures at the adjutant generals office
have made our whole quota, exclusive
OF three months men, first about $4,000, then
about 1000, and, finally, about $4,000 men.
1t would be improper to criticse these fig
ures on the strength of Geographic dispatch.
Therefore we shall not attempt to understand
them until we get the adjutant generals re-
port.
The same dispatch states that an order was
introduced in the house yesterday, and refer
red to the committee on military affairs, for
an enrolment of every able bodied white
citizen of the commonwealth between the
ages of Is and 40, and for their proper or
ganization, equipment and drill; and also for
