Prosel.Yting the Army.

The Federal Administration has been busily
engaged for several months, in making syste-
matte effort to obtain from the Army quasi
endorsement of its negro measures and the per-
version of the war from its original object-the
restoration of the Union--to that Of the aboli-
ton of slavery. Sc far as some of the officers
are concerned, by promises of preferment and
promotion, it has been successful in making con-
versions These jealous officers, Immediately
after their initiation into the new faith, were
employed by their master in disgraceful and
most unsoldierly attempts to palm off upon the
privates, resolutions endorsing the fraud upon
the Army which every one knows was perpe.
trated by the substitution Of Abolition for "U-
nion," the primary object of the war In near.
~ every instance the vote upon these resolutions,
would be taken in an er parte manner, the off.
tho negative side Of the question at all. Let
ters have been received in our own town, writ
ten tg soldiers in the Army of the Rappahan-
mock, testifying to this fact. Sometimes, too,
when the privates could not be trusted with a.
ny sort of q vote upon the resolutions, the off,
GERS would assemble together and adopt them
and, then, send them forth as the expression of
the sentiments of their commands. But with
all this shoulder-strap legerdemain, but few reg
iments have yet been reported as having given
in their adhesion to the programme of the ne
gro-lovers. AT least nine-tenths of the Army
arc still firm, land, we doubt not, will remain
so) in their attachment to the Union and the
Constitution. They can neither be coaxed, nor
driven, csjoled nor cheated into the support of
doctrines which their very love for the Union
teaches them to abhor, and which, they were as
cured, when they enlisted, would not be lugged
into the war, in any shape.
We give below letter just receyd from the
Army of the Mississippi, written by a soldier
who was formerly a resident of this county,
which is only one of the many which are pour

which will 60 to show how the soldiers of the

A Model Union League" Letter.

The following letter was lately received by q
discharged soldier now residing in this county,
who once was Republican" but who seeing
that the party to which he belonged was bccom.
ing Abolitionized, like true man and patri-
OF. as he is dissolved his associations with that
party and joined the ranks of the only true
Union party, the old and tried Democracy
This letter is anonymous, and, our soldier friend
Bedford county. 1t is an attempt, in very bad
English, to intimidate and overawe, with the
design of driving the person addressed into the
foul embraces of Abolitionism. But, this true
soldier of the Union, desires US to say for him
to this anonymous Jacobin, that he is unmoved
by any such cowardly threats, and that as to the
temptation held out to him to join the Union
League, he would reverently initiate that great
example of resistance to the seductions of evil,
manifested by our Saviour when the Arch-fend
took him up upon the mountain and showed him
the goodly heritage he would give him if he
would fall down and worship him. To this lit
erary 6lac&snaks, our tempted soldier would say
in the most emphatic and indignant manner,
"Get thee behind me, Satan!"-Wo publish the

The MAYoRALrY CoNTEsr.-The politicians
are now twisting and turning over the caudi-
dates for county officers to be elected in No
vember; but it makes but little or no difference
~ TO what they do il they will only keep in
view the great question OF more vigorous
prosecution of the war and stand firm in favor
Of that issue. The question Of Mayor at the
December election is, however, one Of great
importance. Among the candidates we no.
tice, in the first place, the name Of James B.
Nicholson. We do not remember of having
heard of him before. He may be very good
Commissioner for Charities and Correction; but
we want in these times men Of positive charac-
ter for Mayor. 1t is no time to try experiments
with new and unknown men. 10 the next
place we have John Anderson, whose name is
mentioned in connection with this Office. An
derson is . very good man, successful tobac.
conist, and knows how 10 make money; but he
ID not q man Of nerve, OF bold and positive
character necessary for the chief magistrate of .
city like New York in these days Of revolution
and riot, and is therefore unfit for the position
at present. c. Godfrey Gunther 10 urged by
another interest. He, too, lacks the requisite
talent for the position. He 10 successful
dealer in f,irs and an excellent citizen; but be
has shown no quality that proves him to be
he man for that position in these revolutionary
times.
The other and most prominent candidate
among the democracy is the present City In
spector, Boole. His coupc since be took charge
Of the Inspectors ONCE is proof positive that
he possesses executive abilities Of the most
decided and marked nature, and the very
qualities needed at this time In a Mayor Of
this important city. With him It will not be
trying doubtful experiment with an unknown
man; for our citizens will be assured beforehand
that there can be No doubt but that In him we
shall have a man who knows bis duty, and has
the nerve to discharge that duty, let what will
come
As to the republicans, we presume that they
have already had enough Of Mayor Opdyke
and his shaky condition when nerve and bold
ness are required; and we see no other name
mentioned that has any chance for success with
bold and fearless man like Boole running
against him. Whatever the democracy may do,
II hey ast wisely they viii ooatrol Tho elsstios.
