Gov. w1okliae,g Position---A Correction

Gov. Wicklife's Position---A CORRECTION
In our notice of the position of Governor
Wickliffe. in the Bulletin Of the 9th, we
stated it as we then understood it to be-
that he believed the Union could be restored
by military coercion, from which we dis
sented. A correspondent has addressed us
a very civil note, in which he says he thinks
we do not fully comprehend Gov. Wick
liffe's position in reference to the measures
which now press themselves upon the ooun-
try, and, along with his note, sent US num-
Der of speeches and the letter of acceptance
by Gov. Wickliffe. From these documents
our correspondent deduces the following as
the views of Gov. Wickliffe: That he was
never of opinion that coercion or war by the
| United States would restore the Union; but
that when the War was inaugurated by the
South and the Capitol threatened, it was the
duty of the United States to resist it; and
that though he never believed that war of
1 itself could restore the Union, yet it was
necessary to meet the armed power of the
South, and then employ the usual means oil
negotiation for the constitutional restoration
of the Union.
Upon an examination of the docume nts
submitted to us, we are satisfied that oul
correspondents statement of the position oil
Gov. W. is substantially true, and we very
cheerfully make the correction, for nothing
could be further from our purpose than tc
misstate the position of any gentleman OF
any side of any question.
Gov. Wickliffe's position then is, in effect
as follows: That as long as the rebels are
in arms against the constitutional authority
of the Federal government, they are to be
resisted with arms, until they consent to ne
gotiate for the restoration of the q nion; that
the war should be conducted by constitu-
tioral measures alone for constitutional OBJ
jects alone and adequate supplies of men and
money granted therefor; but that no more
men or money should be granted for the
prosecution of war, perverted from its
original and legitimate object, to a war fol
unconstitutional objects, such as abolition o.
slavery, confscation; suspension of ha6ea!
corpus, destruction of private rights, person
al liberty, and all spirit of fraternity, &c
&C., &C., which he charges the Federal ad :
minstration with now pursuing.

The New Negro System in louisiana
How iS Works.

The very intelligent correspondent ofthe
Cincinnati COMMERCIAL writing from Vicks-
burg, June 5th, says:
st will be remem bered that among other
things done by Gen. Thomas during his re-
cent visit to this departm ent, was the leasing
of a number of plantations rebel property
along the Mississippi River, to men from the
North. The Government agrees to furnish
contrabands. and the lessees is to share the
products of the soil with Uncle Sam. The
system appears to work badly, and will ulti-
mately end, as usual in the United States
getting the worst of the bargain. The
lessees are a scary set of fellows, and have
so little confidence in the legality of thoir
tenure to the lands, that they are continually
raising hue and cry about guerrillas hover
ing about them, and are continually appeal
ing to the military authorities for protec-
ton. Acquiesceuce to their petitions would
involve the transfer of Grants Army to
Louisiana, and the Notification of all tn cir
cotton-telds The "leesee" policy is vision
airy. 1t looked well last winter, but looks
badly now. 1t will cost twice as much as
the net proceeds of the farms to maintain 10
their vicinity as sufficient force to hold the
guerrillas at bay.
'The negroes furnished to the lessees bv
the Government are badly treated, Judging
from their attempts to run away and return
to their original masters They came into
our lines supposing they were henceforth to
be free men. Instead of this, MANY of them
are subjected to harder taskm asters than
they ran away from; the only difference in
their favor being that they get little nav
now; which they never received before

dence, reg uesting him to appear at desig-
mated rendezvous for duty. Any person
failing to report for duty after notice is lett,

WASHINGTON, q. c., July 9, 1868. }
Circular No. Al.
INSTRUCTIONS RELATIVE TO MAKING THE
DRAFT.
I. Provost Marshals will cause the name
Of each person of the first class enrolled to
be written on a card as soon as the enroll
ment lists are completed. These cards must
be uniform in size, shape and color.
II. The cards are then to be assorted by
subdistricts, verified by comparison with
the enrolment lists. and placed in an en-
velope marked with the number Of the sub
district and the number of cards contained
in it and sealed.
III. After all the sub districts have been
thus prepared, all the envelopes will be put
in one, and sealed up, and put away until
the day OF the draft.
". On the day of the draft the Board of
Enrolment will open the envelope in pres
ence of any who choose to attend, and take
the envelope containing the cards of the first
sub-district These cards will be counted
as they are placed in the box, and must
agree with the number on the envelope
The box should be about one foot wide, one
foot deep and one and half long, with a lid
securely fastened on, and hole in the lid
large enough to admit a mans hand.
V. This being done, the Commissioner
will announce that the draft for the first
sub-district of such district of such State,
for so many men, will com euce.
VI. The Provost Marshal, or some trusty
person selected by him, will then be blind
folded, and draw from the box single card, ,
which he will hand to the Commissioner,
who will read aloud the name on it. The
Clerk will Immediately enter this name on
list previously prepared, opposite No. L.
Thus the draft will continue until the re-
quired number of names are drawn, when
the cards remaining in the box will be taken
out and counted, so as to verify the whole
number originally put in.
VII Great care must be taken to enter
names on the roll exactly in the order in
which they are drawn.
VIII. The remaining sub. districts will be
proceeded with in like manner.
TX. As soon as practicable, persons draft
ed will be notified. JAS. B. FRY,

WASHINGTON, July 19.-There is nothip
definitely known about Lees army. He is
making his way to Culpspper and Gordons-
vile with all possible speed.
The Navy Department. has received a
communication from Rear Admiral Porter.
dated 9Th inst, in which he states, that
having received information from various
sources, on the 21st ult, that the rebel Gen
eral Price was moving from Arkansas to-
ward the Mississippi. be made the proper
dispositions to meet the rebels at such points
as he knew to be assailable, sending a force
to Helena. The Bragg. Tyler and Hastings
were the vessels detailed. The object of
the expedition was to prevent the rebels
from their design of moving on some point
on the river. cutting off our transports, and
to relieve Vicksburg.
They attacked the outposts of our troops
on the 4th inst. with their whole force, and,
as the works were slight, succeeded in get.
ting possession of small fort of four LIGHT
guns. The troops behaved most nobly in
the engagement, and at the writing of the
account in Admiral Porter's report. Price
was retreating toward Alexandra.

GWe clip the following from the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, in regard to Col. Timber
lake of the Indiana Home Guards, who was
stationed opposite to Brandensburg to pre-
vent the crossing of Morgan's forces:
''Colonel Timberlake, their commander,
though brave man, did not comprehend
his duty; instead Of disabling the boats,
which wonld have detained the rebels on
the Kentucky bank until the arrival of Gen.
Hobson's force, which had been in pursuit,
ordered bis men to save them, and thus gave
them the means of transportation.
'tAmong the fantastic tricks which he cut
in the sight of high Heaven and John Nor
gan, was that of mounting a stump and
hallaoing across the river, at the top of his
voice, the following speech: in the name
of the State of Indiana, command you to
surrender; bring over the John B. McCombs,
and let off the steam on the Alice Dean
The reply was lacouic. but expressive: oh,
hi! old man, come over and take drink"

@We are told the War Department two
or three weeks ago issued an order for the
enrolment of free negroes in Kentucky as
citizens within the purview of the conscrp-
ton act. The illegality, offeusiveness, and
temerity of this order, as we learn, immedi-
ately led to an earnest remoDstrauce on the
part of our State authorities, seconded
warmly by General Burnside and by GEN
eral Boyle. In answer to his remonstrance,
the President, we understand, signi6ed that
the enrolment of the free negroes in Ken
lucky was not intended as necessarily pre-
iiminary to the drafting and armipg of them
but might be preliminary to their employ
ment as simple laborers. In other words +,
the President declared that he had not yet
made up his mind to do more than enroll
the negroes. For reasons obvious to all
Kentuckians at least, this declaration was
not deemed satisfactory, and the remon-
STRANGE has been renewed by our State au-
thorities in more explicit and more urgent
terms. We have the utmost confidence
that the remonstrance thus renewed will
prevail. 1t must prevail.
If the order were clearly legal it would be
most rash and improper to attempt to en-
force it; but it is clearly illegal. Free ne
groes are not citizens of the United States,
anu tue IGesluenG can una In hentucRy no
respectable authority that will affirm the
contrary. On this point Governor Robin
SOD, the chief magistrate of the State, and
Judge Ballard, the chief judicial officer of
the nation in the State, are completely
unit. And with them herein all classes Of
the Common wealth thoroughly agree. In
the universal estimation of Kentuckians the
order is wholly illegal as we'll as offensive
in the extreme. We cannot presume that
the President will adhere to the ord er with
out presuming that he is devoid of the first
instincts of prudence no less than of justice.
The President, whatever his infrmity of
judgment or of will, is not thus weak and
headlong. We do not harbor doubt that
he will speedily rescind the order. So con-
fdeut indeed are we in this respect that but
for the notice of the order by some of our
contemporaries in the State we should per-
haps have felt it our duty under all the cir
cumstances to leave the matter in the hands
of the State authorities without comment
for the present at any rate. Certain it is
that the matter could not be in ADLER or
more faithful hands.
In the mean time, we are assured that the
order is practically suspended. This is as
it should be.-Lou Journal.
