that we are waging a Niger war, and

not fighting for their country, but for
the pay they got, an that the resolu.

were cotton up by politicians, and do
not represent the sentiments of the com.
mon soldiers. am soldier, and feel
the insult, | brand those statements as
falsehoods, and the originator of them,
whoever he may be, as liar. We are
fighting for our country. If slavery
stands in the way, if il or our country
must perish, perish slavery. Ii the
rebel army stands in the way, we will
annihiate it. II Northern Copperheads
stand in the way, we will wipe them out.
We know that slavery caused the war,
and that the South are fighting to de-
stroy our country that slavery may live
We know that Slavery is their rock of
strength, hence we rejoice at every blow
that tends TO weaken it, knowing that
when that goes down the rebellion goes
with it, and our country is saved.
George G. Jordan persisted in the cause.
Let me ask The editor of the Civilian.

is fell upon The field with wound from
which he never recovered. Was he
fgnting against his country? Was lie
fighting for pay alone :? Men may make
sweeping assertions. but these questions
come home. and the Editor Of The Civil
ian dare not thus sligmaiiZe the memo
ries of those noble men. There is more
soul in the cast off cloths of one such
man, than in creation crammed with
such miserable specimens of humanity
as the writer. AS for The statement
that The resolutions sustaining the Ad
minislration, and condemning Northern
Copperheadism, do not express the SEN
timents OF the common soldier, let the
men who preach the doctrine so hippant-
~. pay those soldiers visit and preach
1t to them, and you would soon find
them like a certain class spoken of, of
old, praying for the rocks and mountains
TO fall on them and hide them. The
truth is, they do endorse those resolu.
lions. The tread of the Union army is
onward, and it will never quail or ialtel

Gen. Fremont Endorsed.

EF The Committee upon the con,
duet of the war, in their report, very
fully endorse the course Of Gen. FIRE.
MONT as commander Of the Western De-
partment. They say that his admins
tration was eminenly characterized by
earnestness, ability and loyalty. In the
erection Of the Qualifications about ST.
Louis lie blu, carried on what Gen. LYON
deemed necessary, and in respect to re-
iniorcing points threatened by the
enemy. the committee believe he acted
with energy and promptness. The fail
ure to render assistance 10 MULLIGAN
arose from causes over which Gen. FIRE
MONT had no control. He perceived the
advantage to result from gunboats for
Western rivers, and the brilliant victori
es Of the West bear enduring testimony
to the correctness Of his Judgment. The
committee also thinks that Fremont s
emancipation proclamation, at that early
day, was the most efficient means of
crushing the rebellion, in proof of which
il is only necessary to state that his sue
cessor, when transferred TO another de
partment, issued proclamation embody
ing the same principle, and the President,
as Commander-in- Chief, has applied the
same principle 10 the rebelIious States
rs a whole. Thus, after months of de
traction and misrepresentation, Gen.
Fremont finds himself sustained and his
Judgment vindicated And yet, through
the hostility of Gen. HALLEcK, and the
West Point Influence, lie is kept in in
glorious idleness, while demonstrated
incompetency is still honored with com
mand.
