On the arrival Of our advance ct Au-
gusta, news was rapidly spread. and the
citizens generously went 20 work to pro-
vide food. The call being so sudden
and the number SO large, it was some
time before all could be supplied, bnt it
was finally done, and the boys prepared
for sleep. The Court House was filed,
many went to hotels and private houses,
and some who were fortunate enough to
preserve their blankets, made a COM
Portable bed on the grass in the Court
yard. In the morning We were again
supplied with food, and cast about for
means to reach Cincinnati, about forty
five miles below. A coal barge was dis
covered and pressed into service, with
which we arrived at Cincinnati about
the middle of the afternoon, marched TO
the barracks on Fifth St. and on Tues
day went TO Camp Dennison-
oCR FIELD OFFICERS
During the engagement, Gen. Hobson
and staff, Col. Asper, 1t. Col. Harmon,
and Major Fowler, had all displayed
great GOODNESS and bravery. Although
from the nature of the engagement,
there was really no opportunity for a
commander to distinguish himself, they
were all under heavy IRE. and did all
that was possible to do. The portly
frame of Col. Aspsr was 8 mark for
many a rebel sharpshooter. The 6s-
zette saYs'
without describing all the move
ments, it is sufficient to say that Gen.
Hobson, and the officers of the regiment
handled their small force so adroitly,
and the men themselves, all unused to
such scenes as they were, many of them
were boys, behaved so ooolly and brsvely,
that they kept 1000 10 1900 of Morgan's
men at bay until sitter II o'clock, in.
| fioting severe punishment upon them
very frequently; and when at last they
found themselves almost entirely sur
rounded, and the enemy sen in a flag
| of truce, Gen. Hobson replied that he
would surrender conditionally. Previou.
to this, however, when prospects seemed
dark, and he told the boys he would
surrender if they said 50, tears were OBJ
served to course his cheeks, and he
wished for a few Of his own hardy men
or that Breckenridge would come up tc
his relief. The condition he required
was, that opportunity should be giyeI
him to effect an immediate exchange Of
himself and men for similar rebel pris
oners now in our possession, which wa
granted. The boys, therefore, laid dowr
their arms, and were marched off east o
town near those Of the l6Sth.-
Officers wers permitted 70 retain thei
side-arms.
Gen. Hobson, himself, was consigned
to two officers, and sent to Falmouth
there 10 remain with them until the suc
cess of his project was ascertained from
the War Department. The presence o
those rebel officers We found last evening
to be very obnoxious TO the good citizens
of that town. Now that tbs other pris
oners have been paroled, from sheer ina
bility to hold them. after Sundays hght
it is a nice question, what is TO be done
with Gen. Hobson, and if his guard pa
rol him, what will become of the guard2'
Our field officers were also with Gen
Hobson. I presume q wrong infsreneI
was drawn from the dispatch of Col. As
per 10 Warren. At that time the regi
ment had probably been paroled, anc

Declaration of Sec
rotary Chase.

a
The War to be Continued IF Il Costs a Thou.
sand Dollars to Buy a Breakfast.
The Cincinnati Gazette of yesterday had a
dispatch from Columbus, giving a sketch of
the late speech of Salmon P. Chase, Secrets-
ry of the Treasury at that place. The most
noticeable part in his speech was this declara-
ton. He said {; "Times has changed sadly
during the interval of his absence, but he
hoped and believed that the darkest days were
past. He said at the ou;breaking of the war
that the rebellion must be PIT down, if in do
ing it we had to come to the old Revolution
airy standard Of a thousand dollars for a break
fast. Laughter, and cries of well, guess we
can. stand it.'"1 How will the people like
this intimatien from the Secretary, that we
may possibly go on in the Lincoln policy I'M
til our currency is so worthless hat it will re-
quire a thousand dollars to buy a breakfast
Although the Secretary takes care to express
his belief that such a state of things will not
come to pass, yet he has some purpose in thus
preparing the public minds for the most over
whelming calamity to the country. A thou
sand dollars for a breakfast Mr.. Chase,
speaking for the administration, is resolved to
preserve in the ruinous policy it has embarked
in, if it brings entire ruin and desolation upon
the whole people. That ruin and destruction
will not come if we advise the administration
to alter its course and give up its negro eman-
cipation theories. Mr.. Chase's suggestion
will be no idle remark if that advise is not
given at the polls, aud the people may prepare
to see it established, extraEagant as it appar-
emily is.-Enquirer.

What greater evil can he name What ma
ton that has persisted did not first lose its lib
erty by war, and then hasten to its end under
the dominion of those passions which war in

would have been no secession if there had
been no war. Virginia offered to restore the

sThe Pay or Uolored soldiers.

The Republican journals are just now very
generally employed in urging upon their rep
resentatiscs in Congress the justice of making
the pap of colored soldiers equal to that of the
white soldiers Not only do they demand for
them the same pay for the future, but insist
that the government is bound to make up ar.
rears for the past, and put them, in this re-
spest on a footing of perfect equality from
the date Of their enlistment. The more con-
s~eryatiye and cautious Republican leaders in
Congress demur to this extreme demand, both
on the plea of economy aud of justice ; but it
looks as though they win yet be compelled to
yield to the party pressure.
Wish regard to this claim CT equal pay, it
should be born in mind:
4s-That in no part of the country is the Ia
Dor of the negro paid: on an average, as well
as that of the white man. Whether from
lack Of capacity, industry. or opportunity, it
is undeniabie that the white man or woman
viii command better wages at the same bust
ness than the black man or woman. Hence
to pay the negro soldiers as much as the white
soldiers is to do less than Justice to the one or
msre than Justice to the other.
2. The white soldiers have SO far done all
the fighting, and for obvious reasons will be
compelled to bear the brunt of the battles to
the end of the rebellion. The negroes will do
fort and guard duty and hence, no matter
what ~apttudes they may develop, they viii
not earn as much by real hard military work
rs the whites.
IA e not -aS eagk1a1 1I.k - Iokk1o re Al
blacks should be employed in battle) they
will be as efficient as the whites. IF they
will make as coed soldiers as men of the
Anelo-Saxon race, thea all history is at fault.
Until they prove their equal valor and eff
cheney in q great battle, they have no claim
IN Justice to equal pay.
4. The bulk CT the negroes who are in the
rsaks as soldiers are freed slaves-paupers-
and therefore any pay would be an improve
ment on their former condition. Not so with
theghite soldiers they are skilled farmers OF
mechanics, and from their education, leaving
the question of race out of view altogether,
bring more Intelligence to their duties than
the negroes.
IS. IF freedom il such a boon to the color
edrace as is claimed, and their employment
asssldiers is to. settle their status as freemen
that should be considered as a part of their
compensation. This great struggle is, it is
urged, to enfranchise a down trodden race
ought not that race be expected to mako
some sacrifices for themselves7
6.sThe Government of Great Britain en-
ploys sepoys in India as we dc negroes in
this country; but they do not pay them as
highswagss Is they do the English white sol
diers.
While the people of the North are quite
willing that negros freed by our armies should
remain free, they at the same time look with
u~ndisguised disgust at the efforts of the radi-
calls to bring about an equality of race on this
continent7a consummation alike r%epugnant te
instinct and to reason.-M. r World.

blame of his ridiculous attempt to set loose
the Federal prisoners in Richmand upon his
subordinates. The way Ben. is going on, it
will not be long before no respectable officer
will consent to serve under him. 1t is hardly
to be supposed that any one who respects HIM
self will do so now, for he is regarded as an
outlaw, MT only by the South, but by the civ
ilized worldly all, except the most demoral-
il I'd portion of the northern Abolition. sts.
