cd in the history of guilty man, is tinctured
with profound sentiment for the impotent
rage which discloses as far as regards the
acts tf this government in such criminals
as may attempt its execution I copfine
myself to informing you that shall, unless
your wisdom yoa deem some other course
more expedient deliver to the State authori,
ties all commissioned officers of the United
States that may hereafter be captured by
our forces in any of the States embodied in
the proclamation, that they be dealt with in
accordance with the laws of those States
provided for the punishment of CT iminals en-
gagged in exciting servile instruction. In
its political aspect this measure possesses
great significance, and to it in this light I
would invite your attention. IF affords to
our people the complete and browning proof
of the nature Of the designs Of the party
which elevated to power the present occu
pant Of the Presidential chair at Washington
and which sought to conceal it's purpose BY
the perfidious use of the most solemn and
repeated pledges.
Speaking Of the financial affairs of the
Confederacy he says: 1t is true that at the
close of the war our debt will be large, but
twill be due to our own people and Meth .r
the interest nor the capital will be exported
to distant countries, impoverlshiny ours for
their benefit. The summary Of military sue
ceses he ascribes to Congress which enacted
the Consumption laws and organized the
army, and to the spirit of unity, endurance
and devotion of the people.
While congratulating the Confaderacy on
the friendly relations with Indian tribes, be
deprecates the hostility of q portion of the
OherokeeS. -ta +t
Referring to the reports of the Secretary OF
the Navy, he speaks Of the progress made
since the last session of Congress, but with
holds the details from publication at present.
In conclusion he says: The energies OF
awhole nation have accomplished marvels
and our trials have been converted into
blesSin IS, and then winds up with prayer
tor the restoration of peace. ut' -sn

Mr.. Editor. my last letter to the Couric,

Ing marches have been accomplished, a hard
aud decisive battle has been fought before
the modern CITY OF Corinth. In all these
the "old Secon'l" has participated, coming

out, crowned with victory and success, az
did many other regiments, representing the
States Of Ohio, Illinois. Iowa, Wisconsin
and Missouri

been the case, All SUCH mast be the case in

farther aid in the suppression Of this rebel,

should be relieved of activ. field service, and
repair to comfortable winter quarters, at least
during the winters campaign, to recruit both
in health and in numbers. But if our ser.
vices are required, here or elsewhere, we
are willing to obey our just commando
Victory awaits our onward In ,rch; delay
