s. Infantry, which is stationed at tina
place, is to send to the front and t,
their proper regiments all men fit fo
duty, and that they have, within th'
four weeks terminating at that date
sent forward about twelve tbousan(
men, and that there remained ther'
then over fifteen thousand men, which
number the fredericksburg slaughte
would reSinforce to a vast extent; tina

political power of the South, and tc

The Presidents Emancipation Pro-
clamation is not calculated to make
their job a more easy one. The men
in the Amy, whether privates or Off
GERS, who have no stomach for the war,
now that it has been diverted from its
originally avowed purpose, should at
once be honorably sent home One of
the primo conditions of their enlistment
was, that the war should not be turned
into. an Abolition war, and they, above
all other men, have the unquestionable
right to insist that the terms on which
they enlisted--the contract they enter
ed mto-shall be fulfilled to the very
letter. And that editor who urged
enlistments or that stumper who har-
rangued War Meetings at the instance
of Governors and Military Commit
tees, owes it to the men who were in
weighed into enlisting upon the assur~
ance that the war would not, and could
not, be turned into an Abolition war;
to insist that all the volunteers who
are disinclined to fight in such a war,
shall at once be, honorably relieved
from the service. 1t is ducto the men

do this. If the country's salvation is
dependent upon the Abolition of Sla-
very, it is necessary that the warshould
be prosecuted by those who will bring
to the work willing hearts and willing
hands. The work cannot be trusted
to men who aredriven forward by COM
pulsion. Many men are impressed
with the necessity of displaeing all Off
GERS who do not subscribe to the opin-
ion, that there can be no peace until
slavery shalJ have been abolished. This
will do as far IT goes; but tits equally
important that the privatcswho arenot

also be relieved. If they are not re~
lieved many humiliating defeats may
be set9down toour side before the war
