In one respect at least, the present
war, as conducted by the Federal Gov
eminent, is in striking contrast to all
other wars recorded in history. Deser-
ton has, in the armies Of all other ma
tons, been regarded as the most infa-
nous, as well as one of the most danger
Gus crimes Of which a soldier could BIS
guilty, and as such has been punished
with death. For q soldier TO abandon
his flag either on the field Of battle, or
in camp, is a violation of the oathwhich
he has given to his Government In the
actof desertion he not only breaks his
oath, but he shows contempt for the
lofty feeling Of patriotism, which should
even animate the hearts Of all honorable
men. Yet what adequate punishment
has been inflicted in our armies, during
the pending war, on soldiers who have
been guilty Of the infamous crime Of do.
sertion2 Men have skulked of home,
leaving their comrades to contend with
traitors in time Of imminent danger and
no notice, seemingly, has ever been taken
Of their treaeherOus conduct. We have

just at present the rebel newspapers
and Generals have very little to say
about shooting or hanging Federal pris-
oners. Hanging is not only game which
two can play at but as We now have a
large excess Of prisoners il would be
decidedly unhealthy for the rebels to com.

they should be fools enough to hang any
Of their prisoners, they will rue it in
bitterness Of heart.

the Uuiied States are laid down. Look
at East Tennessee, and see it's relations

South.
From an early stage ia this war we
have looked at East Tennessee as the
seat Of power; where an army Of one or
two hundred thousand men ought 10 be
placed, entrenehed, and furnished with a
protected line Of communication with
the North, through which, for the present,
supplies could be seat Such an army
there could do more toward holding the
rebellion in check, and suppressing it,

its energies and when its Generals should at
