JEFFElkSON,S VIEWS.

Under this head the Sacramento Union of the
9th inst, has a labored lying leader, attempting
to show that this great statesman and party
leader, held doctrines akin to those of Lincoln
and his supporters that he was in politics, an
Aboitionist. The attempt to palm upon the
public so great talsehood, atcsts the contempt
in which such papers hold the intelligence of
the people. Mr. Jefferson was born and nurured
in save-holding State Virginia received ser
wants as an inheritance, married a wife having
over II hundred slaves. a sluveow while
he lived, and left slaves as part Of his estate
He was Jealous friend and supporter of the
Constitution and the Union thereby created. -
Ii never occurred to him that the Union could not
exist with States both free and slave combined.
Lncoln's idea of divided house. and Stewards
notion of an "rrepressibe conflict was not in
fashion then. Nurtured among the babarians
of the South. the superlative philosophy of that
"highcr civilization" whose deity is an "anti-
slavery God with an anti-slavcry Bible" and
whose political text is an "anti slavery const
tution,'' teaching Impartial freedom" to" Ameri-
can citizens of African birth" had never reached
his benighted latitude. He is admitted by all
to have been a man of enlarged and active be-
nevolence, but it never carried him to the extent
of supposing that black man could be meta
morphised into white one Mr.. Jefferson was
with many of the trailties of humanity,
but he has long since gone to his grave, and we
submit to the editor OF the Union, if it is be-
coming in him thus to backen the memory of
one of our most revered statesmen and patriots.

REINFoRCEMENTs WANTED IN UTAH-The S. F.
cal, says the following extract from a private
letter written by military officer in Utah Terri
tory. shows the state Of things not e, nerully un-
derstood in this State:
The Indians are congregatng in Spanish Fork
Canon by hundreds, with view of attacking
Camp Douglas, and then, ii successful. of spread
ing themselves along the line of the Overland
Mall route They are being fed and encouraged
by the Moimons. 1t would be impossible to
strike them at present. as the Mcrmons would
notify them OF our approach, and they would
scatter to inaccessible places in the mountains.
The reason of all this is the fact that the Over
land Mail Company are losing money by their
contract, and would be pleased to have it broken.
They are opposed to having reintorcements sent
They act with Brigham Young and the Indians
are under his control. One month ago. General
Wright offered TO send two companies of cavalry
to Schell Creek, on the line Of the road if the
Directors of the line would furnish sufficient feed
TO support the animals until barley could be sent
and Mr. Cook. since deceased, fatty refused to
"lend pound of grain for soldiers use" Troops
sent from Ruby Valley cannot get pound of
-four from the Station keepers when their rations
become short; and the general disposition of the
propre tors Of the overland Mail contract appears
to be, to rid themselves of a bad bargain as soon
possible. Certainly more soldiers are required
in Utah.

THE CoNsCRIPTIoN.-The Washington
correspondent Of the n Y. Journal of Com
merce remarks:
Now that the army is about to be increasl
ed by conscription, thoughtful military men
are discussing the Importance of paying
more attention than has been done heretol
fore, to the physical character of the raw
recruits European experience has proven
that men are in general unable to surmount
military life Under twenty years OF age.
Lads have been proven not to be worth the
premium in bounty paid for them; and of
such, Napoleon said they were only fit to
cucumber the roadside. 1t has always been
found that age, height and weight have
been deemed indispensable requisites, and
the Roman armies, before consrript was
finally approved he undrew, Mt probation Of
four months duration. English experience on
the Spanish Peninsula demonstrated the
fact that $50 men who had seen service for
five years, could accomplish more than 1000
raw recruits. Let any man walk through
our hospitals at this time, and he will find
that the majority of the sick are merely
large boys, and the same is true of the deaths
that occurred in the Washington hospitals.
These and similar facts, connected with the
enormous expense of supporting an army of
punv men, would seem to demand the special
attention of the military authorities.

The Chicago Journal asks the follow
ing questions of the people Of Illinois,
but they may we'll be put to all Ten
nessee lOyAlists.
oEsTIoNs TO BE ANSWERED by LOYAL MEN.
Can a Union man prove his Unionism
better by voting with loyal men, or
with rebels?
Can he prove his Unionism bettar by
associAting politically with those who op-
pose the war for the salvation of the Re-
public, or with those who unflinchinelV
sustain the war measures Ct the Govern
ment to the end?
Can he prove his Unionism better by
voting ticket which only loyal men
will support, or one which all rebels, IL
they should vote here, would support ?
Let Tennessee Union men consider
with whom they would desire to act in
restoring the State Government. No
reasonable person doubts that Governor
Harris, Dick MeCAnn, Forrest, Andrew
Ewing, Sam Anderson and General
Oheatham would be delighted TO see the
State and Federal Government pass into
Che hands Of the pro-slAvsry oOpperhead
conservative faction. The Chattanooga
Rebel first nominated the infamous

would not be glad to slip his vote into

they proper associates for loyal men.
The simple fact that the " Conservative {"

enough to damn il in the estimation Of
