GEN. HOOKER LEAVING HIS OFFICERS.

In the afternoon Gen. Hooker took leave Of his
officers who appeared in full dress upon the occs-
sion. They were drawn up in line. He passed
them, shaking hands with each, and aborDg
hard to stihe his emotion in vain. The tears
rolled down his cheeks. His officers in turn were
deeply affected. He made but few remarks, say
ing that he had hoped to lead them to victory,
but the powers above him had OF erwise ordered
and for time he was to be exiled to Baltimore.
He hoped they might meet under happier aus
pieces.
He spoke in high terms of Gen. Meade. He
believed him to be true soldier and an efficient
officer. He believed they would defeat the enc
my under his lead. He said that the army had
already been the gamer by the change-for what
he had asked for had been granted to his success
or. He had examined Maryland nights yester-
day and was confirmed in his convictions that the
strength of the place had been overestlmateG.
The nights did not command single ford. He
believed 1t correct policy to concentrate men,
to abandon unimportant positions and use the
troops against the enemy, and he was glad to know
that his successor could those troops if IN his
judgment they were needed.
While writing the above have the comments
of six oficers-captans and ieutenants-all
strangers to me. we are sitting Ia parlor'
myself writing, they talking. Here are their
opinions:
" Well think it is too bad to have him re-
moved just now, remarked captain.
Il wonder if we shall have Mcclellan back y
queried lieutenant.
We'll, gentlemen, you may say what you
please, but the Army of the Potomac was never
so we'll fed and clothed as it has been since Jo-
seph took command" fourth remarked.
THAT is So" several replied.
The officers and soldiers frequently speak of
Gen. Hooker simply by his Christian name, imi-
tating the Quakers. After momentary silence,
one who is putting his pipe takes up the strain

Negroes not Barbarians.
BY J. P. BISHOP.


Who are our negro slaves They are men
and women who, during all their lives, have
enjoy the blessings Of what we are assured
by the highest authority in our land, is one
of the most bencfcent Institutions on earth
namely, American slavery. Their ancestors;
were indeed barbarans so were ours. They
were not born in a land of heathenism, of
barbarism they were not educated by low
and degraded parents. On the other hand
each one of them was born on American soil,
and, what is more, whatever might nave been
the color or standing Of his mother or his
father was born into the hands, into the pow
er, completely in all respects within the con-
troll, of sore chivalric white gentleman of
our own race and blood, by whom he has been
reared as this white gentleman, not as some
negro, thought fit to direct. Moreover, many
of them bear the best and purest white.gentle-
men blood Of the country in their veins and
these were born of just the mothers whom, in
preference to all others, the White-gentlemen
fathers selected.
This last is an immense point in favor of
the negroes. A peer of England, after fixing
his eye upon maiden, and feeling in his soul
that unless she becomes the mother Of his
children, the lordly race will run low, may be
rebufed by those cold, terrible words, / do
not love- and so the progeny suffer. But not
so with the American peer of the lash. In
our more blissful South, the d" course Of true
love-" when it follows an ebon maiden, can
never thus be turned back. There the proge-
ny does not suffer.
And though the slave child may not have
white father according to blood, he has al
ways one, as already intlmated, according to
law. BY the laws of all the States, where
slavery exists, there is no slave father, there
is no slave mother but the law of this most
bonefcent institution, out of tender regard to
the interest Of the children, places them in all
respects under the control, under the educa-
tiou under the tender and considerate care
of white gentlemen and their white wives.
Moreover, the white gentlemen into whose
hands the slave babies fall, arc not the poor
white trash of the slave States they arc
the wealthy, the refined, the first gentlemen
of the States.
Such are the slaves such is their educa-
ton under the benefcent institution. There
can be no baser Islander than to call them bar
barians. Born in Christian land, falling at
birth into the hands of Christian gentlemen,
reared up by them under the fostering care of
one of the most bene6cent institutions on earth,
call them barbarians Say it would be an
outrage in civilized warfare to set them in
battle against the white trash or even the
lordly peers of the lash, of the South No
if they are Of the first order of society there,
they are of the second else slavery is not,
in truth. the bene6cent institution we are as
sured it Thoughts for the Times.

Gen. Hooker.

We give below some extracts from the Boston
Journal correspondent, relative to Gen. Hooker
and the reasons why he left the army. The writer
says:
"Gen. Hooker, at consultation in Washing.
ton last Wednesday, laid before the Department
and the Cabinet his plan of operations. He be-
lieved that Lee was intending seriously an extern
sive invasion of the North To meet him he de-
sired that all the available troops should be placed
at his disposal. He believed Washington to be
in no especial danger from an attack on the 'front.'
and asked for large portion of Heintzleman's
troops. His request was complied with by the
President, and men in the Quartermaster's De-
partment were detailed for guard duty. On
Thursday he joined the army and commenced the
movement which has placed the army in position
to fall upon Lee with tremendous force.
Gen. Hooker does not believe Harpers Ferry
to be Of any especial accc unit now that Lee has
advanced into Pennsylvania. He asked that the
troops there might be placed at his disposal in
case Of emergency. Gen. Halleck takes differ
ent view. He appears to consider Harper's Fer.
ry as of great value to protect Washington, and
was unwilling that there should be possibility Of
its evacuation. The request was refused by Gen
fialleck. Gen. Hookers instructions ordered
him not only to cover Washington and Baltimore
but Harpers Ferry in his movements. He in.
formed the department that if his request could
not be complied with he desired to be relieved
from the command of the army. The matter was
laid before the President, and Gen. Hookers de-
sire was granted.
| have heard other reasons about town, and
among officers, assigned for the change of com
manders-that Hooker had allowed Lee to out
general him that Hooker's rashness would en-
danger Washington but l believe the above
statement to be substantially incorrect. 1t wa
simply whether Gen. Hooker or General Hallecl
should fight the battle. After Longstreet ant
Ewell had left Fredericksburg, Hooker was abou
to cross the Rappahannock and attack A. P. Hill
8 believing that he could annhilate him, and thel
be in front of Washington before LongStreet AM
Ewell could make their roundabout march thrc
= the Shenandoah but Gen. Halleck nterfered
: and be was not permitted to make the attack.
The change of commanders is in no sense pa
litica interference, but one purely military. Th
i issue was between Halleck and Hooker. ur
ders,and that Gen. Heintzeman did not approx

What means must we make use of in

we must have. in addition, free press

ere long the return of all those men who
really love their country to the ranks of

a Democratic Legislature in Indiana.
How soon we may hope to gain such a
victory, we do not propose to discuss at
this time. We hope it will not be long.
In the meantime, let us be true and firm
true to the Constitution, cheerfully obe-
