comrades in arms have so far forgotten
their honor, their oaths and their eoun-
Try as to shamefnlly desert US, and
skulkingly make their way to their

not look an honest man in the face. Dis
grace and ignominy (if they escape the
penalty Of the law will not only follow
them to their dishonored graves, but will
stamp their names and lineage with in
fanny to the latest generation. The
scorn and contempt of every true man
will ever follow those base men who, for
getful of their oaths, have, like cowardly
spaniels, deserted their comrades in arms
in the face of the foe, and their country
i'll the hour of its greatest peril. Every
true-hearted mother or father, brother,

his cheek, that all who look upon

EE We again publish and call atten-
tion to the following passage of a letter
from Erastus Brooks, one of the editors
of the New York Express, written at
Washington on the 10th of February:
All wars must have an end. and this
scourge on our nation with the rest. But
the rebels are not ready for peace, or to
close the war, except upon their own
terms They would not even make peace
by surrendering to them the free naviga-
ton of the Mississippi, with the indepen-
dence of the cotton States They desire
the territory of the Federal Capital, all
of Maryland, all the territory of the Old
Diminion, all Kentucky, Tennessee al d
Missouri, and all the forts and arsenals
on the Southern coast. They would not
only dwarf the old Union, but destroy it.

How Gen. Mcclellan Disobeyed
Gen. Scott. .s : --
WASHINGTON. Feb. Is.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IS.
Readers will scarcely have forgotten
that significant remark in one of Thad
Stevens late speeches, that he only lost
faith in Mcclellan when he learned that
officer had persistently disobeyed and
treated with contempt the orders of
Lieutenant General Scott
The statement was a new one, and its
basis was not known. People who re-
membered the rose-colored sketches of
McClellan's parting with Scott, when the
old veteran retired from the service, or
the more rose-colored stories about
SCOTS solicitude at West Point for the
pnrsonal safety of the gallant young
commander" during the Peninsular bat
ties, were at a loss to reconcile Mr.. Ste
ven's declaration with the stories of the
more than paternal affection for McClel-
Ian which certain newspapers had con-
stantlv attributed to Gen. Scott
Before this can get into print trust
that overwhelming documentary evidence
viii have been given to the telegraph,
that as early as October, 1861, General
Nc Cleltan Systematically and insoLently
sighted Gen. Scott personally, and dis
Obeyed his most pOSitire orderSf Yet
more!-That an the fall Of that same
gear matters had gone to such pitch
that Gen. Scott suggested the court-mar-
tiaiing Of Nc Cleltan. for diSobedience of
orders!
These facts have been known for q
long tine, but ha e never hitherto been
put in a shape that would silence the
contradiction of the swarms of liars who
throng the approaches to every McClel-
Ian newspapers in the land. L remem-
Der very WELL in the winter of 1S6I-62,
the repeated declarations of this sort,
made by General Lander, while lying on
the bed from which, as it afterward
proved, he was never to rise The same
facts have also been mentioned by others,
of their own personal knowledge, but the
documentary evidence has always been
wanting; and Lieut. Gen. Scott himself
would OF course never supply it.
In few days. at farthest, however, it
is trusted that it will now be laid before
the country in an official form; and there
will no longer be left possibility to
doubt that Gen. Mcclellan, almost from
the very date Of his entrance on service
at Washington, Systematically disobeyed
the orders of Lieut.. Gen. Scott, and from
that progressed into an equally system
attic disobedience of the orders of the
President himself
With that light before them, the coun-
try will no longer lack facts for under
standing how the disgraced and disfran-
chise Fitz John Porter was chief favor
ite Of the young Napoleon" or how
treachery to the flag came to taint the
higher officers of the army so deeply as
to produce Burnside's defeat and retira-
cy Nor will the facts be wanting for
that further estimate ofGen. McClellan's
claims to consideration as a military
nl0n-whose conduct is asserted to have
been constantly marked by the most
scrupulous regard for military law and
propriety, and whose constant misfor-
tune has been to have been compelled
TO change his "plans, at the direction of
superiors whose orders he never pre-
sumed to question.

Such surrender would not only be pu-
sillanimous and cowardly, but SO dis
grace us before the civilized world, that
every foreign power would rightfully spit
upon US. Better at once become the
hewers of wood and drawers of water
for the Southern Confederacy than enter
upon such disgraceful negotiations. Life
would have no charms, honor no home,
peace no permanency, Government no
solid basis, in a country thus debased by
its leaders

CAIRO, August 1.-Two Maine regi-
ments, nine months men, arrived yester-
day. en- route to Bangor.
Provost Marshal Phillips completed the
enrolment in the Thirteenth District.
This State is prepared to make draft as
soon as directed. He enrolled about 49,
600 persons. At first on account of large
numbers of deserters, the Provost Mar
shall was obliged to place the town of Ma
rion, the residence of congressman Allen
and King, Copperheads, of Southern ILL
nois, under martial law. Pickets were
stationed around town, and orders issued
forbidding persons leaving or entering the
place without passes. Allen attempted to
pass the guards and was brought before
Phillips, when he demanded if Congress-
man was obliged to obey orders of City
Provost Marshal. He was told all were
subject to enrolment, and no one could
receive pass without taking the oath of
allegiance to the United States govern
ment which he refused to do on the ground
that it would compromise him with his
constituents and force him to violate GER
tain pledges he had made. He therefore
remains voluntary prisoner within the

RICHMOND, Va, July q, 1868. Z
To answer numerous inquiries and to cor
rect errors not uncommon, the following no.
tice is published to all concerned.
l. Under the recent call of the President,
extending the cOnscript age, all substitutions
have ceased to be valid if the substitute be less
than forty five years old, and is not otherwise
exempt by law.
2 Membership (unless as an officer duly ac-
cepted by the War Department. Of official Or
CARNATIONS for home defence or special SER
vice, confers no claim to exemption from Con-
federate service; neither does service in the
militia, unless in case of officers actually in
commission who have duly qualified.
3. Hereafter any one furnishing substi-
tute will become liable in his own person,
whenever the services of the substitute are lost
to the government from any cause other than
the casualties of war.
4. Applications for exemption on any
ground whatever must first be addressed to the
local enrolling officer, who, if he has not pow
er to act or is in doubt will refer them to
higher authority, with report of the facts. All
such addressed direc: to higher authority will
necessarily and invariably be referred back for
local examination and report; and the appli-
cants will thus have uselessly lost time and
prolonged suspense.
Appeals against adverse decisions by local
officers will be forwarded by them for hearing
Whed any possible ground of appeal is set
forth.
D. Commandments of cOnScriptS will give this
notice extensive circulation in the local press
of their respective States.

Interesting Particulars Of the Great
Fire.

New YORK, August S.-Advices from
Havana to July 25th, state that everybody
is talking about the great fire. Sixteen
large stores were entirely destroyed. The
fire began on the 22d, and is still burning,
although now confined to the ruins. With
considerable exertion the railroad depot
Of the Guanevacoa railroad was saved, on
the preservation of which depended the
fate of 80 more stores.
The fire is supposed to have commencde
in some cotton, 672 bales of which were
destroyed belonging to secessionists and
Englishmen. Large quantities of goods.
intended to be run through the blockade,
were also consumed.
There were also burnt large lots of har-
ness. horse shoes, gin, saltpetre, nitre,
percussion caps, sulphur, &C., &c. There
was also consumed $500 boxes of sugar.
Total loss, $l,118, 1853, but this is decided
ly underestimate.
The general government proposed to
batter down the stores by broadsides from
trigate, hoping thus to put oct the fire
by means of the tumbling rubbish. This
showered upon it might thus save por-
ton of the contents, but General Dulce
would not permit it.

HOW SAVANNAH IS DEFENDED.

Nsw York, August 3-The Port Royal
Free South says that Savannah is stripped
of troops, several regiments having been
sent to the relief of Vicksburg before our
Charleston demonstration. Since then
three regiments Of infantry and Col. An
dersons artillery, numbering twenty four
brass 12-pounders, have been sent by way
of Augusta to Charleston, leaving nothing
to defend the city but 5000 cavalry, 500
infantry, and a battery of artillery. All
the extensive batteries and fortifcations
are for this reason only picketed, and not
garrisoned. The people of the city, being
left with batteries and guns, bnt with NO
troops to make them available, have be-
come greatly alarmed lest we should cap
ture it,
During the last two weeks they have
been sending their valuables into the inte-
rior of the State, daily expecting to see q
Yankee cheese-box in sight, fanked by
land force.
Gen. Mercer, who is in command, has re-
peatedly telegraphed to Gov. Brown for
troops, and has invariably received the re-
ply that there were no troops to send, and
the inhabitants must protect themselves.

10 the Editor Of the Pioneer:
When last wrote, we were still in camp
at Lake Traverse. From that camp train
of wagons, escorted by detachments of in
fantry and mounted rangers, was dis
patched to Fort Abercrombie for quarter
master and commissa-y stores ordered to
that point to be used on the expedition.
The remainder of the command resumed
the march for Devils Lake, and reached
this point without encountering any seri-
Gus difficulty. By careful examination
OF the country by the scouts in advance OF
the train, fair supply of grass has been
obtained for the animals Water is album
dant along the line of march, but in some
cases We have been obliged to use lake
water of very unpalatable quality.
We were five days marching from Lake
Traverse to this place. The weather was
very warm, the country parched by the
long-continued drouth, and the most bril-
liant display of locusts in Egypt was mis-
cradle failure, when compared with the

The Siege of Charleston.

The Boston Transcript has the following
information concerning the rebel works on
Norris Island, derived from Col. J. II.
JACKSON, of the Third New Hampshire,
who has arrived home:
Fort Wagner is large and very strong
work. In its eapacious omb-proOf apart
ments it can shelter thousands of men. It
was reinforced just before the Federal as
sault on the 18th. In that attack por-
ton OF the Union troops made their way
to the walls of the fort, but could not scale
the enemy's defences, and were there sub
ject to the most destructive fire, without
a chance of retaliating upon their foes.
The guns from Fort Sumter command
much OF Morris Island, the shell from the
fort passing over the Federal batteries, and
nearly to the rear of our position. The
rebels may yet discover that the possession
of Wagner is not necessary preliminary
to the reduction of Sumter. Certain bat.
teries on Morris Island, where rifled guns
Of four miles range have been mounted
will soon, if they have not already. open
fire with similar results in regard to Sum-
ter, that were produced at Fort Pulaski.
A battery of these effective cannon. bear
ing upon Fort Sumter, is not more than q
mile and a halt from this stronghold.
When Fort Sumter is rendered power
less for mischief, Battery Bee, on Cum
mings Point, will be speedily captured,
and Fort Wagner falls as matter of course.
Notwithstanding the repulse of the 18th,
the prospect OF the ultimate reduction of
the batteries protecting Charleston harbor
Is, therefore. good, and it is so considered
oy all the officers engaged in the present
movement against the cradle of secession.
