COlOred Recruiting.
APhiIadeIphia letter to the Cincinnati
Gazette contains the following of this not
able gentleman
"Trim, neat fgure, Of about medium size,
finely shaped head, eyes hat woman
would cab handsome-so much you can
see. For the rest, the features are masked
behind dark-brown flowing beard and
mustache, 50 luxuriently ample that a Turk
might die Of envy on seeing them. The
finely shaped head and the handsome eyes
and the magnificent beard are worth more
shaE . passing glance for they belong to
one who will be honored in after time,
however little We may bestoW honors upon
him now, as the man who, above all others,
placed the policy Of enlisting negro SOL
diets in this war On practical basis, or
gsnized and systematized the work, and
gave US tangible results.
"An eminent Boston merchant, Of large
means and liberal habits, Mr.. George L.
Stearns already had claims to special con-
sideration for bis services as the organizer
Of the famous Kansas Emigrsnt Aid SOcie-
ties that so fully triumphed over the plot
for a new slave State. One other tide to
consideration he had, concerning which
less has been said. This quiet looking
gentleman is the man ighO furnished old John

Of Virginia at H0Tpsr's FeTTy-sn attack
that has not yet ended, for is not his soul
still marching on?
"Aswe stop TO shake hands with him,
we learn that the negro regiment business
is being brought at last into practical busi-
ness shape; that Pennsylvania is about
undertaking to raise a negro brigade, and
is quite willing TO have it understood that

The city still holds out, so far as we are
informed. A correspondent of the Gin
cinnsti Gazette, writing upon the 18th,
says;
or "Well, the city is closely Invested. It
may fall day, tomorrow, or next week,
but fall it will, as sure as the sun shines
hot in Dixie. There is nothing earthly
more certain than that Vieksburg is ours
with all its contents But when we do get
it, it will be shivered and plowed up with
our artillery. So far as the citizens are
concerned it is a deserted village. Long
since they have forssken their houses and
dug for themselves holes in the sides Of the
hills, and they have taken themselves to
their holes, and there exc out an existence
with no other music than that Of our thun-
dering, crashing shells and shot, dancing
at "smashing = feast of death, amid their
corridors and parlors, at all hours Of the
day and night. The resident negroes here
ali say, "when you all git dat place, you

Davis. They all declare. and so do desert
ers. that Davis is in the city | should re
ioioe 10 be able 70 believe it. There are
rumors that come with.s some show of relia-
bility for their truthfulness, that Pember-
ton has offered 10 surrender if Grant
would permit two men togo out Of the city
There have been propositions offered by
Pembert0n, and Tejentsd by Grant, butjust

Of late quite incorporate. Among other
statements, the following is made by the
Washington correspondent of the Philsdel-
phis Inquirer:
"General Meade has been assigned to
command The army OF the Potomsc in place
Of General Hooker, relieved at his own re-
quest. The quarrel is said to date back to
the battle Of ChancelloTville, after which
Hooker asked for troops to replace those
who would be called away on account Of
their tern. Of service expiring This was
promised then. The troops were designa-
ted, but some interference prevented their
coming to him. 1t is said that the reason
assigned was that North Carolina would
have TO be evacuated, which would look
bad abroad" k

We'll informed correspondence from Hsr.
risburg strengthens like reports from other
sources which we have published, that Lee
seriously contemplates q systematic and
permanent invasion OF the nortbsfn States
Davis expects to lose Yioksburg. To do
so. will lose the whole Southwestern Con-
federacv. To eOunteract the evil Of this
the Southern people and the spectators in
Europe must be encouraged in their de-
signs Of Svuthern Independence, by carry
ing terror into the North. PennsyITa1ia
has q population equal to North and South
GsrOlins, Georgia, Florida and Alabams
combined, and exceeds by more than a mil
lion the combined population Of Louisiana,
Texas and Arkansas, west Of The Missis-
sippi To ravags Pennsylvania would
more than Offset those States, for she is
rich in sll the material that the COnfeder-
acy most needs, while they are barren and
stripped. II they stay in Pennsylvanis
six weeks, they can transport provisions
enough to the South to compensate for the
loss Of fifteen or even twenty-five thousand
men at YiOksburg. ... ...,.u
OF the signs Of such scheme and the
assistance which Lee expects from, the
peace Democrats of the North, the Harris
burg correspondent of the Times writes as
follows:
G The slowness and caution Of his move
ments, the fearlessness of his advance, the
plan be has adopted of striking at all the
railroad communications, and the apparent
concentration on Harrisburg, all lead me
to believe that he is intending to fight the
Summer campaign on Northern soil.
There are various indications which
favor This suppOsition. In the first place
the rebel General probably kaorrs VIII
as We do Of the existence of party in op-
position to the Government, whose pOlit-
cal prejudices viii carry them even to the
verge Of treason He knows as well as
we do that political issue hos been made
on the question of the enrolment law. He
knows as well IS we do that the violent
and unserupulous opposition to the Adj
ministrstion and to the prOsec Ition Of the
HhE, nus mChA1nNA eAG NlAAAS4S0 Va AA4o
people in the Government. IL proof Of
this were needed, it is found in the listless-
ness and apathy Of the people in the insults
offered to the soldiers, calling the New
York troops Seymour birelings," and
hooting them as they pass; in the informs-
ton afforded to the rebels as they pass
through the country by traitors who style
themselves Peace Democrats; and by a
hundred other indications, trivial but sig-
nihcant. This state Of things has been
we'll known TO the Confederate leaders, and
they have calculated on it. Those who
have allowed their passion TO supersede
their patriotism, and who have occupied
themselves with finding fault rather than
with lending their energies to the support
and encouragement Of the Government,
have, perhaps, done more harm than they
are aware Of.

No one can doubt that il the Northern
States had eli been provided with a com
pleiely organized militia, this present in
vasiOn by Lee would never have taken
plaee. Had the State Governments two
years ago taken hold Of the matter snd
been sustained by the people in organic
ing, oficering, arming and drilling the
militia in every county and township,
rebel horses would not now be Watered in
the susquehanna. Or, if the general
Government, needless of the senseless
elamor against q "stsnding army" "a
clsmor only in place in times Of peaceful
safety, had called for a rsseTUs force of three
hundred thousand men, to be equipped and
drilled subject to call, then this invasion
might have been prevented, and our army
ranks might be full to the maximum.
But We looked at the war as sfsr off, and
were too busy with our merchandise to
spend time in preparation. Sufficient
unto the day is the evil thereof" was our
motto, and we ignored the fact that ranks
will be thinned, and that regiment will
not number as many men year hence as
IL does to-day. Hence euoh Erssh neees-
sity for troops has been met By temporary
expedients. Men have been called for
three months, for six months, or for the
emergency" Weplsce no blame upon the
authorities. They, like all the rest of US,
under-estimaied the work in hand, and
eaeh fresh accession was looked upon as the
force that was to end the war. We have
learned better now; let Us show that
wisdom has come with experience.
The failures Of the past need not be
commented upon. Our duties lie with the
future. More men are wanted new, and
more will be wanted when this six months
has passed away. 1t is better that they
be avsilsble for immediate service, than
utterly raw recruits. The only way to
make them sOis by taking hold Of The work
in time. The draft should be enforced
at once, and every attempt at resistance
put down summarily The militia Of
every Northern State should be put in
working order at once. A company Of
men should be drilling in every ward and
township; a regiment in every city and
county. The country has not yet been
drained Of material. There are plenty
Of loafers about the corners and the
saloons. There are, also, men who are
not loafers nor useless to society, who are
ready to give up their business and their
comfort, when they feel that by doing SO,
the country will be saved. All Of this
strength should be made subject to call,
and should be ready TO do some service
under the call
The opposition point TO the invasion by
the rebels as proof that they are smarter
than we. In one respect it is true. They
have placed all needful power in the
hands Of the Executive, and when that
Executive had said leave your business
and your homes and join Lees army in ten
days" they have done it. Let US learn
useful and precautionary lesson from
our enemies.

Pemserton Trying TO Escape from ViclEs-
burg.

PemsertOn Trying TO EscuPe from Ficks-
burg.
Rev. Mr.. Van Meter, Of New York, who
left Vicksburg on the 24tb, reports that
On the 22d escaped Union prisoners from
Vicksburg told General Grant that Penn
berton was constructing small bOsts, sew
ersl hundred of which were finished. One
Of the escaped prisoners heard an othcer
say that oars for six hundred boats would
be ready by Sunday night. As if to more
fully confirm what appeared to be already
. certainty, large bodies Of Kirby Smith s
rebel cavalry we're seen hOxsring shout
ACROSS the river, in front Of Vicksburg.
It appeared, then, that PembertOn was in
tending to escape across the river in small
boats, where he would be Joined and pro-
teeted by the rebel cavalry. Genersl
Grant instantly blocked the game. He or
dered Mowers brigade, supported by Tay-
lOr's Chicago Battery and the 10th Illinois
Cavalry, to move from Ysung's Point and
occupy the neck of land in front of the
doomed city. This movement was execu-
ted on Tuesday week. At the same time
the gunboats abeve and below were order
ed to close in nearer and remain there 90
that escape by this method became an i'm
possibility.
