GEN. COOPER'S LATE ORDER

MR. EDITOR: In common with our people at large
an much gratifed to perceive that our highest
military authorities have at length enforced the act
OF congress enjoinng that subordinate positions in
the Commissary and Quartermaster,s departments
shopld be filled by disabled soldiers, and sending
Tue present occupants into the field for active
service. This will add to the effective service of
the army many hundred able bodied young men,
"hlst no interest of the country will suffer any
serious inconvenience.
but why do not the authorities proceed step
iurther Why is it necessary that our Railroad
employees. contractors, baggage masters, depot
agents, and the employees of the Express Company
It's agents. clerks, messengers. Il know not all
'neir titles or distinctive marks)-why should they
ai' or nearly all, be of the class, robust men
OF the martial ages! If at such time of danger
they are found willing to eyade the duty they owe
their country ought the officers of the companies in
whose employment they have sought shelter from
mat duty, to encourage and aid them in such derelc
tlen? True, their services may be obtained at very
low rates, lower by much than the services of COM
petent non-conscripts-it is said that of them
do not receive salaries that will defay the expenses
OF their board. But the profits of these enter
prises meagre that they forced to the neces-
the lowest possible rates, the requisite number of
agents to carry their operations; for disguise the
matter as we may the simple, naked, honest truth is
that to deprive the army at such crisis this of
one man tit for its duties is to rob the country.
Mingling with our people of various Sorts hear
on all sides loud complaints on this score and am
constrained to admit that they are just. The most
serious dsatection towards our Government have
manifested arises from this source. 1t is time
that steps should be taken to arrest the complaints
and dsatection by removing the occasion for them.

'RE-UNIoN." Under this caption, the Richmond
Enquirerchas an editorial which closes follows.
The language reflects the sentiments Of every
Southerner who loves his section and has thespirt
to assert his preference and maintain that pride
which glows in the warm blood of every honest ana
Independent heart among us:
what, shall rey3ing thraldom again be
The patched up idol of enlightened days!
Shall we, who struck the lion down, shall we
Pay homage to the Wolf?
Never If not nationality, then war--war with
victories Or with revervses; but reunion with
the United States never! The dead would rise from
their graves in both nations to protest against union
unrighteous. against peace purchased by such al
unnecessary and shameful sacrifice of valuable lives.
The antagonism that has resulted in this warts as
old as the colonies; vt has grown with their growth
and strengthened with their strength. The wonder
lection. 1t has asserted its existence and by the
violence with which it has ragged, attested its viru-
lence and determination. The effort to again sub
trade and commerce will never be successful; it will
result in future wars, in greater bloodshed, and
more wide spread ruin.
But this national antagonism, this popular antpa-
thy, while fortidding reunion. is by means mimi
cal to peace. Reunion among those who nave
fought the battles of this war is impossible.
The slaughtered chief, the mortal jar.
The havoc Of this cruel war
Shall never, never be forgot.
Peace between the United States and the Con-
federate States must be the result of the but
re union never
