We clip the following extract from a letter
in the Dixon RspuNican and 1t!tgFuph, from
Lieutenant In the 10th Illinois regiment, dated
Moscow. Tenn, Jan. 20: :
eve found at Holly Springs the lo3sh lii
nois regiment under gua1d and disarmca
Some Of these men tiled to desert, others
forged paroles, and at last 4 minority Of the
regiment stacked arms and gave three cheers
for jeff. Davis. Some Of the men claim that
1t Is the tioings Of the officers, bnt none OF
them have much to say, and we would think
If ANYTHING would make men mum the drum
ming and hooting they lave had from the 9th
or regiments RonId have this effect. Some of
the regiments could scarcely be restrained
from pitching in, as they said, and shooting the
cowaflly trsitors.'
"We bate cowardly Williams and traitors,
who arc afraid that the rebels will be hurt or
deprived OF their porerty, when found in the
army, as much as those who are still at our
homes, and would rather, shoot them than
Southern traitors. We are surprised that men
should be allowed to put forth such resolu,
tiens as thosc4atcly passed in Springfield, and
if the black hearted cowatds who put them
fos:h think they have friends In the army, the7
arc sadly deceived Dark and disrlritin5 q;
the future looks, wc.Ire stu ready to fight
traitors, and when those in the South are put
down, We want chance at those destablc ant
cowardiy ones intEc North ::

SECESSION OF 1E484IyOIs.

The new movement on foot Of separating
the West from the East brings up the qaes-
ton rs to what will be gained If the scheme
succcedss Those who arc plotting IN that
matter cannot hope to produce better posi-
tion for Illinois than she occupied before the
rebellion, crcn If tho plot Of secession suc-
cccds without opposition or tho shedding Of
blood. Indeed, they cannot hope for 1t to be
Laf so good, becaus2 We will then be cut OF
from The East, which is d Large consumer Of
our products. We would also be cut OF from
from East to West, on which foreign rs well
as domestic goods arc now brought to u=.
We would be left with the Mississippi as the
only outlet for all our grim, and the only way
to bring goods to us from Europe. Thus VIC
would bc placed back IN the condition VIC
occupied before railroad reached us from
the East. Goods could not be imported
over tho railroads, because the Govern
ment tariff OF tho Eastern States would be

present pricc, Then NC must look To the
fact That our products could never sell
here at a rricc sufficient to give any en-

Gen. Buffers Policy.


AS few men hare esinccd q higher patriot
ism or greater efficiency during the war SO
few men have been subj jected to greater mis-
representation and abuse than Gen. Butler.
He initiated a line Of policy in regard TO slaves
freed from or abandoned by their masters,
which, If acted upon and adhered to, would
have solved the question of Slavery In connec-
tion With this war so effectively and so Justly
as to Eayc shut the mouths even of clare hold
ing rebels themselves. Hc received all who
came to him, and rendered them useful to the
army and Government, in hospitals, trenches
and forts; recognizing their loyalty, protect
ing their persons and encouraging their nspl-
Iations for higher life.
This process Of emancipation wonld have
proved as effective IS it was simple. It was q
policy precludinE objection, inasmrch rs,
without ostcntation or violence, 1t employed
all who came within our lines as those wero
employed who remained with their masters.
The policy he initiated at Fortress Monroe,
Gen. Butler carried with him to New Orleans.
There, those rho sought protection OF our
flag were employed as soldiers as well as Ia
borers, for there they had been similarly GIN.
ployed by tho rebel authorities. And they
have proved as effective with the n,uskct as
with the mattock.
If all Generals had been as easacious
thoughtful md cpczgetic rs this special Object
Of pro-slaycry hate, no other policy than that
which be initiated would have been needed tc
solve This perplexfuE problem. But all wcEs

memorable conflict with the British Admiral
l.tarEon, when the Bon Homne Richard en-
gagged the British frigate SeEapis yard arm to
yard arm. There we're many of these sea
fights ut close quarters In those dlys; but the
vessels thut took part III them were all sailing
ehips, rs steam had not yet been available as
IN agent OF var, In the fight with the Scr
apis Paul Jones' ship engaged her for two
hours in regular yard arm to gard arm
struggle.
Since steam war vessels have gradually be-
gun to dlsplace sailing sllIps there has never
been running gard arm to yard arm engage
ment until the recent unequal contest be
tween the Hatteras and the Alabama This is
the FIRST record Of i battle ut close quarters
between two steam vessels. The actlbu was
brief one, and the enemy frinmphed by his
superior size, strength and weight Of arma-
ment- But fae gallant little Hatteras died
game, and showed her pluck to tho last. For
twenty minutes she sustained and returned
the raking FIRE of her huge antagonist, aud at
last went down, under the gallant Blake, with
her guns still speaking and the old flag dying
from the. peak. Had the two vessels been
more equally matched the result Of this first
steam yard arm fight would doubtless have
been very different.
