A Speech from Gen. Fremont.

Gen. Fremont presided at a meeting in Coop
or Institute, n. Y, Monday evening of last
week, to welcome to the city George Thompson,
OF England, celebrated for his autislavery
views and teachings Gen Premont's speech,
introducing MIR, Thompson, was evidently pre-.
pared with much care, aud as furnishing some
light upon his views of men and management
in high places, We give it entire Gen. fre-
mont said

that you are IN temper oi mind which promises
a yer cordial welcome to our guest OF the eve

interval of years, be cannot b. expected immc-
diately to realize the change which has been
worked in the country, and impressions from
very different scenes which he witnessed here,
cannot be facet from his memory. When he
was last here, the country was at p ace, and
men do no, readily hazard rs blessings. The
people were unwilling to enter upon The discus
sion OF n question which threatened 20 disturb
great interests They were not willing To iulct
upon themselves Jr the southern people the pen
atios which attend great reform. Then dis
cussions upon slavery were held to involve dis
union, aud it required the direct and aagrant

against it. lie has yet 10 realize the change.

d" Old Abe"

BY " Old Abe is no. meant President Lin
coln but the Chippewa Eagle that has been
carried by the Eighth Regiment since it entered
the war in 1861
We have seen from time to time many inter
esting items in regard to this " Bird, and we
have taken pains to obtain from Recruiting Off
GERS for that regiment some information as to
bis habits.
Old Abe is an intelligent bird, and under
stands himself. When at liberty to 70 where
he peases the Suffers Tent is bis iayorlte place
OF resort. II any live chickens are TO be found
he is sure to pounce on one, seizng II Nth one
claw, aud hObhling of on the other with the aid
Of his wings Old Abe, We are sorry to say, Is
quite a thief. There is ono fayoiite dog in the
Regiment with which the Eagle keeps on good
terms. They will both eat together at the be-
ginning Of the meal, but towards the cIuse as
provisions get scarce, the Eagle will pitch into
the dog and drive him of II horse comes
within reach, Mr. Eagle is sure to EXHIBIT his
superiority over the quadrupedal creation by
hopping on to the nag and inser ting his talons
10 no very complimentary manner.
Old Abe manlests his appreciation Of 0ratO.
ry IN very unique way.
When distinguished officer comes along and
addresses the troops, he joins with the soldier
10 their cheers. His method Of cheering Is to
spread his pniOns TO their utmost extent, and
then jump up and down on his perch. This
mode OF applause adopted by the Eagle is said
to be very Inspiring to the orator
When the regiment is engaged in battle, Old
Abe manliests the hercest delight At such a
time he will always be found in his appropriate
place at the head OF Co. ID. To be seen in all
his glory he should be seen when the Regiment
is enveloped in the smoke OF battle. Then the
Eagle with spread pinlons jumps up and down
On his perch. utterlng such wild and fearful
screams as an Eagle alone can utter, The hefc.r,
wilder and louder the storm OF battle the tercer,
wilder and louder the sermon Of the Eagle.
Twice Old Abe has been hit by secession bul
lets, one shot carried away third part OF hls
tail feathers. lie Is universal fayorite aud
has been carried with the regiment through sew
en- States. Thousands flock TO sec HIM, and he
is fast becoming famous.
When the war is over with. this Eagle should
be kept at the expense of the State, at the cap
ital in Madison, and the heroic Warrior who
bore him safely through, should bo pensioned by
the State and be retained as the keeper OF the
Eagle To this we are sure all the people OF the
state will agree. What a grand history he will
haye--what "a grand Eagle he will be a hundred
years hence. Pilgrims would come in vast mul-
titudes from all parts OF the world to see tins
war for Independence. Yes Let the Eagle be
come State Institution after the war is over.
Ills name is already recorded in history.

The quotas Of the several lowrs in this State.
under the call for 100000 volunteers, as recently
pHbbhed, were computed by the Provost Mar
shals in accordance with instructions from ths
Provost Marshal General, which did not allow
them to consider the surplus credits to which
towns were entitled previous to the call for S00,-
900 volunteers, made Oct. II, 1868, and those
credits were not included in their computations
Upon Application and proper representation 10
the Provost Marshal General. an order has been
obtained allowing those credits; aud a new com.
putalion OF quotas has been made, in which each
town has been allowed for all credits to which il
is entitled, as shown by the records in this office,
thus varying, essentially, the quotas from these
recently Published.
The quotas, as thus corrected, will be published
by the Provost Marshal in due season, and will
