From the HarrisbgTs Patriot and Union.
Judge Advocate Turner a Liar.

Nobody will be much astonished at this ssser
tion, as IL seems to be the vocation of the Ad
ministration and all its subordinates to lie, steal
and In ell respects play false to the people and
the Union. But we shall not generalize fur.
ther at this time, our purpose being solely 20
deal with Mr.. Judge Advocate Turner, whose re.
cent report to Congress on the subject of oatbs
administered to State prisoners, Mr.. D. A, Maho,
ney, (who was confined in the old Capitol bastii
for como months, pronounces "simply and nm.
qualifedly lie." The Dubuque (IoWa) Herald
| (or rather Mr.. Mahoney,) says:
"We notice In the Washington correspond
euce of the New York World, that Judge Ad.
vocate Turner, tool Of the War Department,
makes report in which he alleges that D. A.
Mahoney, John H. Mulkey, d. Steward, ana
Andrew D. Duff made an oath at their own re.
quest, not TO prosecute officers of the govern
ment who had caused their arrest and imprison-
ment. This statement Of the Judge Advocate
is simply and unqusli6edly lie, as can bo
proven not only by the state prisoners referred
to, bat by Superintendent Wood, Of the Old
Capital prison. So far from these prisoners
taking the oath referred to voluntarily, the
alternative was presented 10 them of remaining
in prison for an indefinite period of time or
obligate themselves not to prosecute their per-
secutors, the Judge Advocate and Secretary of
War of course included.
"As this matter is now before Congress, If
shat body desire to- have the facts in the case,
Il will resort TO evidence outside the War De-
partment and beyond its influence. Judge Ad-
vocate Turner is such mean tool Of that De-
partment that all the Secretary or his man
Friday, Watson, would have to do, to influence
him In making statement to suit them would
be to order ii to be done. We, as one Of the
outraged and now belied prisoners of State, de-
mand an investigation. We will produce evi-
dence, If Congress desire or permit 1t, that
Judge Advocate Turner lies In the statement
he makes to Congress, and we will do no
more, if Congress dares to pursue the inves.
tlgation."

In the institutions Of our country that lie exist

almost engulphed It, but animated by the GEN.

, Wilson's Enrolling and Drafting Militia
Bill.

We see by the Washington Globe that Mr..
WILSON, Of Massachusetts,, from the committee
on Military Affairs, on the 3lst ult., reported
back to the Senate his National Guard bill, or
bill for the encouragement Of enlistments, and
for enrolling and drafting the militia, and for
other purposes, with recommendation that II
be passed. Mr.. WILSON gave notice that be
should endeavor to get Il up In few days.
The passage Of this bill will follow naturally
upon the heels Of such measures as the Indem-
nifty and Negro Army bills. Il provides for the
enrolment of all able bodied men between the
ages Of eighteen and forty.fve, and makes
them liable to be drafted. 1t in effect gives
the President sole authority over the militia Of
the several States, and reduces the Governor of
State, as Commander. in Chief of its militia,
to the condition of nobody Mr.. LINCOLN
alone is to be supreme military dictator. The
people need not fAtter themselves that the
Abolition majority In Congress are not pre-
pared to pass such bill as this They are pre-
pared to do anything but defend the Constiiu-
tion and restore the Union.
