othcers. who get big pay and qusntiIiss Of
ratiOns' but it is seldom We hear from the
poor Privates. Who do the fighting and re-
ceiVe ell the hard fare. Below we give s1-
tracts Of letters from men who are ssTviaR
in the ranks, and wko have faced secession
bayOnets on more than one battlefield With
out finching, that our readers msy see
that the army has ~: become Nh.lly
AbtlItionized.
The following extract is from q lsttsr
written by a brave soldier belonging 10 the
lOOth regiment, to his brother in this
county, dated at Murfreesboro:
You want me to give some expression
! Of what the soldiers thought of OH Abe's
I proclamation. have attempted To- do 20
4 IN let er which ynu have probably receiv-
/ ed ere this, and Lave only this much more
/ 10 say: A. fJr as cur brigade il eoucern-
/ el, /; is regarded as q goOG joke BY alb
hancs, also that It Is as much as cUujd be
! expected from an II man WHO is in his
! sec nd chi.dhUod. IL IL, as far as know
anything Of the feelings 0. the army looked
upop with derisiOn and contempt, and a
stroke u bad policy that wont amount 60 a
! scratch.
You see The heading of this nap,r .
Union forever" With our great uib cialp
at Washington it is different. By tbeiv
deeds. j should think their OILY mott,
! was "Sambo now and forever" 1t will
indeed be happy day for the people Of
| America when fhe rule Of A. Lincoln 10
ended and the Abolition power 10 forever
squelched. | suppose that such persons
Is, and -, and ether negro
"orshiPpers In -, will cell this trail
t"rous talk, but traitorous or not. il is nv
sentiments and the sentiments Of an over
WheImIng majority OF the army. To Ate
Liucoln and the Abolition patty We are
indt u.-d for the present state Of our once
haJ,v country.
Il do nv:: believe there IL any Rspusif.

" with The white race and quar-thnx FIR

Keen sighted man to see what party q sol.
der would prefer. ventrre 10 sssfrt that

SIX months ago"
Another letter from a young soldier OF
the Tooth regiment. speaking of the con.
scriptiOn act, says:
The CONSUMPTION bill which has lately
passed Is another of the beauties Of this
Repull'can Administration. By IL Ola
Abe gains two points. First he gets men.
aud secondly he gets money, two absolute
requisites to carry on the war. / wonder
bow much longer the people Of the North
will ,ubnit to bic nlisrnle. The people
ought to resist this unjust measure, with
force OF arms If necessary"
