comprising the late Arkansas Post prison
ers have been consolidated, Capt. c. gave
us a detailed account of the outrages heaped
upon them during their imprisonment, and
on the route to Camp Chase, and returning

very hour of their exchange, it was not sat
isfactorily known that they would be re
leased. as their was good deal of eonten-

liberties granted him than the other officers
and was treated with Eaach less barshnes

GENERAL PEMRERTON.

/, bos heen supposed by many that the brave deen-
der of Vick was after the war commenced IN the
employ of the Lincoln Government, and commanded
the Massachusetts troops who were attacked by the
citizens of Baltimore when they reached that place
We have heard it asserted by military men, that such
was the fact; and when few days since II was sup
posed Gen Pcmberton arrested the circumstance
of his having been in command of the Lincoln troops
nj the beginning of the war, brought up against
him The following account OF Cen T. Is supstantaiy
the same as that given us by distinguishes oAcef,
who was in our place q month or two since.
The Richmond Enquirer, in answer to u comnunica,
ton written for that paper, rejecting upon General
Pemberton in severe terms says: General PemDerton
came to Richmond within eight days after she passea
the ordinance of secession, and was commissioned
Colonel on the 18th of April lS6lIhe state seeded
on the 18th WI write from the record 1t is not true
that 'bs same John c. Pemberton was IN the service
Of Abraham Lincoln [any more than was Generals Lee
Johnston Cooper Longstreet, &cs and 1t IS not true
that he commanded a regiment of the United States
Government sat the battle of Manassas"
"He resigned his commission in the United States
service Immediately on arriving at Washington, and
promptly repaired Virginia; he surrendered the ex-
pectation of large fortune from his friends in Penn
sylyania and gave all for the State whose daughter
he had taken to wife, and whore. he had lived and
voted for years before the State seeded he has faith
fully and most ably discharged every duty entrusted
10 him and is now closely beleaguered in Vicksburg
but promptly and nobly and manfuly fighting for his
countrys cause. Let US strengthen his army by our
encouragement let not impair the confidence of his
soldiers by unjust suspicious and false nueudoes upon
his loyalty.
ayicksburg may fall as fell Genoa, but Masscna
lost neither the confidence Of his government nor res
pect Of his countryman.

preference for these gentlemen, the editor
s0ys:
1.-The gentlemen whose names We this day
place at our mast head combine all the ele-
mcnts necessary to render them acceptable
and efticicntin the official position they seek.
Any one who will read Mr.. Murrah's Cir
cular with care, must conclude that he is
man not only of talent, but of great moral
merit. Gen. Chambers late card, if moth
ing else, sufficiently shows him as unworthy
the position he seeks. We regard him as
egotistical, visionary, and contentious; in
fact, as entirely unsuitcd to the times in
which we live. lie is only u big tempest

The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1863-06-05
Array of tEse Potomac.

On the 9TH of May, Immediately after
the defeat of HOOKER, Secretary STANTON
telegraphed to the Governors of States,
and commanders Of military departments,
that there chad been no serious disaster
to the organization and efficiency of the
army" and also that the Army of the
Potomac will speedily resume offensive
operations" We placed no reliance on
the truth of these statements, and SUISSE
quent events have proved their utter falsi-
ty. We knew then, as we know now, that
HoOKER's defeat was terrible disaster,
and that offensive operations would not be
resumed for a month; but we were not
prepared to believe, what is now openly
promulgated, that the Army of the Poto-
mac is not to be a fighting army, but an
army of observation, operating along the
border-by its existence defending Wash
ington, and by it's position threatening the
rebel capital. It is stated that high Off
GERS, civil and military, hold these opin-
ions, and are not backward in expressing
them; and proof that such sentiments
exist is found in the fact that furloughS are
granted with the greatest prodigality to
both privates and officers. Further proof,
almost conclusive, is found in the rumors
that are sent almost daily from Washing
ton, apparently emanating from the subtle
and cratic STANTON, that Gen. LEE con-
templates an invasion of Maryland and
Pennsylvania, or a desperate attempt to
capture Washington.
