The WEEKLY PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT

We have no doubt as to the course thew
ought to take. Asa separate organization,
they amount to nothing, because their
votes can work 10 practical result They
will simply be third minority party
practically neuter-gendered organization,
because lacking power to make their prin-
ciples effective by success. Their duty
leads them in the same direction with the
Union party. All the men in the country
who believe in the fundamental doctrine of
putting down the rebellion at once and by
force, ought to express that belief through
a single organization. 1t would add in
conce:vably to the strength of the Fed
eral cause-it would lie worth almost a
duplication of our armies in the field-if
all the loyal men of the North could be
brought into one solid mass, speaking to-
gether the same patriotic voice, Joining
together their myriad hands in a pledge
of devotion to their country, without res
esvation or qualification
All this can be done, if our charity is as
broad as our patriotism, Or if either quality
be worth its name. The traitorous Cop
perheads can be kept within the limits of
party made up of themselves alone
while the remaining four-ffths of the
people of the North can coalesce and work
tremendously together, without, on any
hand, surrendering any vital principle, but,
ON the contrary, in entire accord upon the
most vital of all principles while this re-
bellion lasts-that of crushing it into the
earth, never to rise again.

YIRe Emperor OF Erance.

Tie Paris correspondent Of the New
York Herald writes as follows of the per-
sonal appearance of Napoleon III, at a late
balloon ascension:
An hour before the final ascent the Emperor
drove on to the ground, but alighted at the en-
trance 10 the reserved seats, and walked into
the open space where the balloon was leaning
upon the arms of two gentlemen. He wore an
Ordinary-loOking brown Overcoat and the inev-
table yellow kids with which he always covers
his hands. / was within five feet of him as he
passed, and kept as near rs prOpriety and q
detachment Of the Guarde de Paris, which i'm.
mediately gathered about him, would permit
me, during the hour that he remained on the
ground. 1t seemed to me that great change
for the worse had come over him within the
last year. His head which always carries to-
ward the right side, seemed to incline more than
ever toward the shoulder, and his face, always
that of q care-wOrn man, seemed to bear more
than ever before the marks OF physical pain,
as well as great mental anxiety. The Emperor
is q very ungracefll man on foot. His body is
long, but his legs very short, and i'll walking
he has q siding crab-like motion. His difii-

Gov. Bramiette's Call for Volunteers.

Gov. BRAMLErTE, of Kentucky, has is
sued a proclamation calling for volunteers
to fill up the quota assigned to that State
under the Presidents last call. Gov.
BRAMLETTE says:
This call must be met, either by volunteers
or by draft, at an early day. *
It's better for you, and for the service. that
you enlist in the old regiments 1t secures Won
from much of the dangers Of camp and field.
and greatly Increases your efficiency as a sol
der. These regiments are now historic They
are ennobed by deeds of brave suffering and
lofty heroism. Their banners bear inScrip-
tons of living memories. By volunteering
you will become sharer in those living men,
cries and historic glorics. If you would
preserve the honorable name of your country,
volunteer III you would not humliate your
companions in arms, volunteer. If you would
save your home and State from desolation and
your country from ruin, volunteer. If YOU
would not shame the memory of your fathers,
volunteer Remember that Kentucky has
never waited for draft. Kentucky patriotism
is not constrained, but is the voluntary hom-
age OF loyalty to the government of our
fathers. 1t is the inner voice OF love to our free
institutions, which voluntarily responds to the
call for defence of the priceless heritage
Frame no excuses; the call admits of none.
Kentucky will meet her allotment. It is noble
to meet it voluntarily. Look to the honor of
your respective counties. for equality will be
enforced

Truth FOrcibly stated.

On Saturday last, General SIoKLEs was
serenaded at the Brevoort House, in New
York, and, in response to the popular call,
made brief but spirited speech In the
conclusion Of his remarks, he stated, in
most forcible and eloquent language,
great and imperishable truth, which some
men at the present day are unwilling to
see, but which in the day that is coming
they will acknowledge with many deep
and bitter regrets. We commend the
subioined extract from General SIoKLHs'
speech to the candid and serious consid-
GRAFTON of all men who, under the mis-
guidance OF political demagogues, have
suffered themselves to be placed in an at
titude of hostility to this war:
Although Withdrawn myself from political
life-and this determination has been strength
ened by the habits and inclination of nv pro-
feSson-without a wish or an object to serve
through popular favor, may be permitted, as
citizen. to offer word of admonition; might
say a leaf from the experience of a retired
campaigner in the field Of politics. When
lilcu aTe tOlclitcu Ill pOntlcd conventions who
differ in nothing from the enemy except as
force differs from intrigue; when offices of
great trust are distributed as mere plumber
among those who do not affect to conceal their
disagreement upon the paramount questions of
the day, the time has come to prove to those
who dare do such things for votes, that more
votes are lost than gained by such shameful
sacrifices OF patriotism to party. This war will
annihilate any leader Or party, or institution
that stands i'll its way. Not only to-day, but
in future years, must it be the test of all re-

General Sherman Views.

Major General SHERMAN, Gen. GRANTS
successor in the Department of the Ten
nessee, has issued q series Of general Or
ders from bis headquarters at Iuka, Miss,
which bear the stamp of sagacious COM
mander as well as true soldier. He as
signs Major General BLAZE to the COM
mand of the 18th and portions of the 18th
Army Corps, now in the field. He directs
all officers in command of Corps and fixed
military posts to assume the very highest
powers allowed by the laws of war and of
Congress in the repression of disorder and
the maintenance Of peace and order. He
says:
Citizens who fail to support the Government
nave no right to ask iavOrs and protection. but
If they actively assist us in vindicatinp tho ma.
tlonal authority, all commanders will assist
them and their families i'll every possible way.
Officers need not NEEDLE with matters of trade
and commerce. which, by law deyolye on Of
fcers of the Treasury department, but wber-
ever they discover goods contraband of war
being conveyed toward the public enemy. thew
will seize all goods tainted BY such transaction
IT,
ter, but care must be taken to make full record
and report of such case.
4th 1t is represented that officers, provost
marshals and others in the military service are
engaged in business on their own account and
that they charge fees for permits, passes, etc.
All this is breach of honor and law. Every
gallant officer in military service owes every
hour OF his time and every thought of his mind
to his government-and # he MAKES one cent
pf0t beyond ms pay IS corrupt d'ad CRIMINAL All
officers and soldiers in this department are
hereby commanded to engage in no business
whatever, save their sworn duty to their gov
eminent
Ii all officers in the military service of
the government would conduct themselves
in the spirit Of these orders, there would
be good deal more victory, and consid-
erably less stealing in the name of lib
erty."
