men constitute the stragglefs and many oi
the slightly wounded-as they shoot off a
finger and thus disable themselves from ser.
vice. Now we cannot "subjugate" the
South with such material; but such is not
the entire material Of the army Ifit were,
Grant would have been routed "herse. foot
and dragon" and sent back upon the Capt.
tai long before this. @
In Burnside's corps there are 5000 col
ored troops, but Grant has never put them
into battle yet; nor will he, as he has no
confidence in their fighting abilities. Our
army now has 100000 of these colored
troops and "Hessians," SO that really We
have less than half million of effective
force in the field. Should the present sys-
tenn be continued of raising troops in large
bounties and by enlisting negroes it will not
be long before that kind of troops will con:
stitute the preponderance of our army and
thus we will be in condition to be subjus
gated rather than to "subjugate" others l
repeat, unless the PEOPLE of the United
States will demand and enforce an uncondi.
tional conscription, the contest might as we'll
be given up, unless the rebellion is weaker
and Gen. Grant is more successful In the
present campaign than is anticipated.
| think the month Of June will deter
mine the result of this years campaig6.-
My speculatiuns may appear in an entirely
different light by the end of on Nort
month, yet | cannot but believe thae, the
months Of June and July will be the most
eventful of the war. do not profess the
powers of prophecy, but have jotted down
things as they appear to me here at this
time. Yours, Truly,

CONGRESSIONAL WIsDoM.-The Gold
Bill, which was designed to pfs7enS capital
lists from speculating in gold, was repealed
just before the adjournment of Congress
the law having an entirely contrary effect
from what was expected by the majority Of
Congressman. When the bill was passed,
gold went UP instead Of down. Terrified at
what had been done, Congress, with hot
haste repealed the bill and gold went down
Immediately. Now we notice that gold is
up again as high as ever, caused most likely
by the lack of federal success in the field
The inference to be drawn from the action
of Congress in the matter, is that it attrib-
uSed all the mischief to oval street specu-
lators" instead of attributing it to the mill
tary situation. Surely, Horace Greeley was
fight for once #hen he said a majority of
the members of Congress "would be fully
up to their capacity trying twenty dollar
suits in their districts before Justices of
the Peace" That was very liberal esti.

and Notwithstanding the evidences Of rebel
atrocity and barbarity with which the
ground was covered, there were some Of
our army officers on board the Platte Val

disgracefully conspicuous, in bestowlng CT

In relation to the reinforcement or evac-

the troops there stationed were withdrawn
on the 18th of January last, in order to &C
company the Meridian expedition under
Gen Sherman.
Gen, Hurlbut testifies that he never re-
ceived any instructions to vacate the post,
and deeming it important to occupy 1t so
that the rebels should not interrupt the
navigation of the river by planting artil-
lery there, he sent some troops there about
the middle of February, increasing their
number afterwards, until the garrison
amounted to nearly 900 men. He also states
that as soon as he learned that the place
was attacked, he Immediately took meas
ures to send up reinforcements from Men,
