ranking General Gilmore, Is still his second
in command. The spirit with which he has

entities him to the respect and admiration OF
the country. Caring nothing for himself, he
has worked diligently day and night, for the
success Of our cause. The same may be said
one1ous duties as chief Of Gen. Gilmore's

THE QUEENS PROCLAMATION OF
1891.

1851
Charles Sumner, in his Late address at
the Cooper Institute, New York, said that
the Queens Proclamation Of May, 1861;
declaring neutrality" between "the two
1g.1al parties of North and 6outh''-that
is to say, between Legitimate Government
and subjects in rebellion against twas
an insult to the United States, and q
"moral absurdity', which no European
Power, not afflicted with insanity, could
possibly hare offered to great and
friendly nation; Mr. Sumner is quite
right in his estimate Of the meaning and
value Of this Proclamation. It was the
most stupid and blundering insult which
history has ever recorded. One would
have thought that so far from declaring
herself neutral in this rebellion, she would
hare thrown'at once all the weight Of her
influence and authority upon the side Of
the Federal Government. We had right
to expect this from her, not only because
such an expression Of good. will and
hearty support would have been in accord

political high priest: The reception that

markable exhibition of the enthusiastic de-
votion Of people who have suffered to those
who have heentrne to their cause.
The East TeDnesseeans were so glad to see
our soldiers that they cooked every thing
they had ard gave 1t too them freely, not ask
1ng pay, and apparently not thinking Of It.
Women stood By the road side with pat1s Of
water, and displayed Union flags. The Won

from. Knoxville was radiant with flags. A.
point on the road, from Kingston to Knox
vile, sixty women and girls stood BY the
road side waving Union flags md shouting
"Hurlah for the Union." Old Indies rushed
cut Of their houses and wanted to see Gen.
Burnside and shake hands with hin, and cried.
"Welccme, welcome, Gen Burnside, well
come to East Tennessee ~
Near Kingston our boys had carried off a
well-rope 60 that water could not be drawn,
Gen. Burnside ordered the Quarternaster to
give the woman cf the house, rope He
gave her one twenty-five feet long. Che said
her well was only twenty feet, deep and would

Tho soldiers had taken all her corn, but she
did not care for that. The General assured
her her corn should be paid for, and asked
how much she had. She said there were four
acres in the lot. He asked how much 1t
yielded to the acre. She said, II wall tended
it would yield sixty bushels, but she had been
obliged to tend it herself, and thought there
WAS only thirty bushels to- the acre, aud
would only take pay ut that rate. Those IN
cidents Of the simple honesty Of the people,
viii illustrate their character, and the feeling
with which they looked upon the triumphant
march Of our troops. They care little about
the "policy Of the Administration" All they
want is that the rebels shal1 be whipped aud
the Union restored. They have no fears after
that. They associate, as well they may, lib
erty, Justice and peace with the Union; and
they know they have hsd oppression. anarchy
and b1oodshed In the Southern Confederacy.
It is q common expression among them, "We
were born under the old flag and the Constf-
tuition. They are good enough for US. aud
We intend to die under them" About Knox

places of rebel stores, and were Jealous In SO

The rights Of conscience are reverenced |
quite as much in Illinois as in Rhode !
leland, or any other State Of the Union.
But when subject sets himself up against
the laws Of his country, and claims ex-
euption from all obedience to them be-
Cause they happen to clash with his pecu-
liar views, we, as good citizens, must de-
fend the laws, no matter at what cost to
the individual Society is great compact
for the mutual protection and security Of
all its members; and no one Of them has
any just right to demand that its require
ments, imposed equally upon all, shall be
suspended in his favor. In those coun-
tries where State religions prevail, and
where the legally authorized Priesthood
demands that there shn1l be q national
uniformity Of belief in matters Of religion,
there may be, and as We think, there are,
reasonable grounds for the rebellion, both
Of the intellect and Of the conscience,
against clear usurpatlon Of the inhe-
rent rights Of man. But in this country,
where every man is his Own priest, and
msy choose his own religion, and exercise
its functions without let OF hindrance from
the civil authorities, there can be no in
tringement upon the conscience, and no
ground, therefore, Of opposition to the
laws, inasmuch Us they leave the conscience
absolutely free, and profess to hare no
other command over the citizen except
that which is given in the civil constitu-
ton of the society to which he belongs.
Hence, no person, whatever may be his
sect, Or party in religion, can claim, TN.
der any pretensions, to be free from tho
exacsions Of the civil power. If this we're
80, there would be an end, at once, to all
society, and civil government would be a |
farce and amockery. Our Quaker friends,
IN various parts of the Union, do not, how
ever, see the matter in this hight, and in
aist that the Conscript law shall not affect
them, nor compel them to military service
on behalf Of the United States Govern
ment which protects them, and under
whose bcne6ccnt wings they have 80 long
cpjo5ed peacc, plenty, and happiness
because, forsooth! they have crotchet in
their heads that war is an evil thing, and
an ohense TO the Almighty. We are not
going to argue the Question with them,
because, even were we to convince them,
it would be "against their WILL" and as
the poet, who was very wise in such mat
4e1s, says, "they would be" therefore, +" of
the asame opinion still" We may say,
however, that there are many worse things
than war, as these good Quakers would
soon find out, if the Federal Government
would be guided by them, and recall their
troops against the rebels.
Neither Quakers, nor Shakers, nor any
body else in all Yankeedom, can be free Of
the draft, without manifest injustice
being done to the rest Of the copmunity.
i A Quaker can no more t1ee himself from
his duties and responsibilities as citizen
4aan any other person; and what is more,
hepught not to be able to shuttle in this
manner his own personal obligations upon
the SHOULDERS Of another. IT,, as bir Sam
uel Ro,nmoly said of certain dfsafected
persons IN England, II they don't like the
country, why, -- them, let them leave
