An or,ier wall be issued Oh Monday, from
the AdjutanJ Generals Office, assigning the

the President to the different towns of the
State 1t will require little more than one
third per cent, of the first class enrolment tc

sufficiently so as to meet the call by volun,

Detachments from several regiments have

A letter from Acting Adjutant Carl JUS
sen, Of the 23d regiment, gives list of casu-
allies in the regiment in the recent light near
Opelousas. The rebel cavalry attacked us
while being paid OF, and some of the troops
stampeded. The 23d resisted as long as pos
sible, and out of 22S engaged, had six killed,
thirty-four wounded, and eighty-six taken
prisoners. Colonel Guppey was slightly
wounded and a prisoner. Private letters blame
Gen. Franklin for the disposition which left

GEN. schurx 40 Leslie Combs.

The following letter from Gen. Carl S chur
to Leslie Combs of Kentucky, appears in the
Louisville Journal. 1t is fair challenge:
CAMP NEAR CHATTANOOGA, Nov. 6, 1868.
10 The Editors cftAe Louisville Journal:
In your paper of Nov 3D., l see letter
signed by Mr.. Leslie Combs, in which the fol-
lowing allusion is made to me- 'Our children
have fought in every battlefield, and never,
once fled as Colonel Schurz and his gang of
observation-disclosures did at Chancellorsville."
am not in the habit of replying to calumny
and abuse springing from the impure inspira-
ton OF a party spirit, but Gen. Leslie Combs
being man of note deem it proper to avail
myself OF this opportunity to stop SANDER
which political enemies seem bent upon sus-
tanning by frequent repetition.
wish, therefore, to say, that i'll asserting
that Carl Sehurz fled at Chancelorville, I"
Mr.. Leslie Combs lies. l choose the word
! 'EieS"-although with extreme reluctance
meaning for, if Mr.. Leslie Combs has inquir-
| ed into the facts he must know that he is
saving what is false; and, if he has made no
such inquiry, then he gives with unpardona-
BILE levity the sanction of his name to state
WHICH IllOSG W lllell
reputation, and which he does not know to be
true. wish to add that in saying Mr..
Leslie Combs ies," hold myself respons ible
for what | say.
This may seem equivalent to challenge
and 80 it is. But do not, however, mean tc
| fight duel with Mr.. Leslie Combs. Being g
good pistol shot, might perhaps easily Kill
him, which | should not like to do; or if he
equally skilIful, he might kill me-and
should be sorry to die on so triding an ocoa
sion or we might not hurt each other, anC
then it would be farce. Besides, | am op
posed to dueling on principle.
But | challenge Mr.. Leslie Combs to a diff
ferent kind of contest, which will be prefer
able to a common duel as a test of persona
courage. I invite him to the hospitality o
my headquarters in the camp of the Army o
the Cumberland. l will share with him my
tent my Blankets my meals; but invite
him also to accompany me personally in thu
next battle, and not to leave me single mo
ment There Mr.. Leslie Combs may deter
mine whether he will have the heart TO repea
that calumny, or whether it would not be bet
ter for him, and more honorable, to retrac
it.
[ trust sirs, you will give this letter the SAM
publicity which you accorded to that of Mr.
Leslie Combs.
Yours respectfully,
i. CARL SCHURz.

SOLDIER ARE YOU HUNGRY ?'-About
eighteen months ago a regiment passed
through Baltimore,ets route to Washington,
and having occasion to halt for awhile in one
of the streets, one Of the soldiers was approach
ed by little fellow who inquired of him,
Soldier, are you hungry" He replying in
the affirmative, the little fellow invited him
to his house near by, and set before him a
bountiful repast. A few weeks since the reg
iment returned through Baltimore en- route for
home, their term of enlistment having expir-
ed, and the soldier who for meritorious srevice
in the field had risen to the rank of cap
tain not forgetful of the kindness of his little
friend, sought him out and presented him with
handsome Photographic album, containing
the photographs Of all the most prominent
generals in the Union Army. Inscribed up
on the back of the album, in beautiful gilt let
tiers were the words, Soldier, are you hungry =

The Canadian Rebel scheme

BURLINGTON, Vt Nov. 22-Considerable
excitement was caused yesterday at Rouse
Point and St. Adams by reports that a body
of secessionists i'll Montreal had planned tc
eize Fort Montgomery, destroy the draw
sbridge at Rouses Point and plumber Platts-
burg and Burlington. Information of such a
plot reached Governor Smith and Collector
Clapp, of this port, on Friday. They com
municated with the officer in charge of Fort
Montgomery who soon had its guns ready to
give the renegades a warm reception. This
scheme was probably connected with the John
sons Island project.

AS You Were.

From Harper's Weekly.
| The gentleman who calls mad rioters and
assassins his friends lately said in public
speech that in spite of the Vice-President we
will have the Union-as-it-was. His friends
responded with tremendous applause" But
in one or two little points, perhaps, the Union
will not be so muchas-it-was in the palmy
days of Buchanan as i'll those of Washing
| ton
For instance, in the Union as-it-was ten
years ago Mr.. Horatio Seymour of New York ,
could go into Carolina or Georgia and say
what he pleased of public affairs, and Mr. =.
William II. Seward, of New York, his equa
fellow citizen, could not. In the Union-as it :
will be- and as-it-was when it was made, Mr.
Horatio Seymour viii have no privilege which
| Mr.. Seward has not.
! Then in the Union as-it-was two years ago
chattel slavery existed in several of the States.
But in the Union as-it-was-meant-to- there
will be no chattel slavery i'll those States.
Again, in the Union-as-it-was when Mr..
Seymour was for the first time Governor Of
New York, and gave Miss Murray, Victoria's
| lady Of honor, those charming views of the
delights of slavery which she reproducedin her
book, it was enough to secure great reputa-
ton as national statesman that man
should become the nimble lackey of SLAYER v.
! In the Union-as-i ll-be the test of nation =
atty will be devotion to liberty and equal,
rights and not to the interests of an aristocrat
! ic party.
The Union-as-it-was in the days of Wash
ington according TO Mr.. Alexander II. Ste =
Phens, was made by men who believed thai
slavery was dying out. The Union as-it-wat !
in the days of Buchanan, Toucey, Cobb,
Floyd, and Thompson, was differed by men
who were resolved that slavery should live
and grow. That is the Union which our wor-.
thy Governor says he means to have. The
Union as-it-was- made is that for which Vice
President Hamlin pronounces. Do wise me
think that the country will follow Vallandig
ham, Seymour, and Fernando Wood, or Wash
ington, Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln?
