symptoms of uueasiuess, if not rebellion,

ence with which the President and War
Department have SO long treated him.
He has written q letter to Gen. Schenck,
Chairman of the Military Committee ol
the House Of Representatives, of which the
New York Herald says:
"It may be regarded, we suppose, as a
very significant document, coming from an
independent candidate for the Presidency
1t is anything but friendly in its tone to
wards the administration. Indeed it is ,
severe rebuke for harsh treatment at their
hands, which the general complains of as
unjust and offensive-irst, in retiring him
from active service against his will for the
space of sixteen months next,i reducing
him TO serve under General Pope, which
he pronounces" an unmerted insult - and
fnally,in in giving an important command
which was expressly arranged for him by
the Secretary of War and approved by the
President during the las, session of Con.

gri'vously offended at these slghts,aud he

The Soldiers Paw.

Hon John L. Dawson, Democrat, has
recently made very able speech in Con.
gress upon the subject of the pay of the
soldiers. He takes the ground that the
soldier should receive his pay in GOLD.
This is right. A number of the officers Of
The government, ministers to foreign coun
tries; receive their pay in gold. They
receive large salaries and the most part
live in splendid ease, The common sold.
Ter who has to bear the greatest hardship
and expose bis life to the vicissitudes oi
battle, receives but pitanCe for his pay
per month and that in deprecated paper
money Let there be equality in these
matters. If foreign ministers, those fel-
lows who live in ease and luxury are paid
in gold, SO let the soldier have his mouth =
pittanoe in the same coin so long as the
war lasts
Let all be placed on an equal footing.
Mr.. Dawson deserve credit for his able
speech and the position he has taken.

The Object.

Fred Douglass, (tbe negro, y in & recent
speech declared that "ibo man who did
not see the object of this was was either
blind or very ignorant" The object of
the war; he continued, "was TO free all
slaves and to educate those slaves at the
expense of the Government, and give each
of them enc hundred acres of good land
Then give them the right of suffrage, and
make them eligible Of Office, aud place
them on an equal equality with all other
men," when these things are accom-
plished,' said Fred, "and all rebels killed
or banished, the war may possibly end
but not one hour before.

Gen. Fitzpatrick who struck for Rich

safely into the lines of Gen. Buffers De-
partment, after having destroyed much
railroad and other property of the rebels
and penetrated 10 the suburbs and other
Notifications Of Richmond. He had no
regular battle, but some skirmi,hing
with the enemy, and reports his loss at
about one hundred and fifty. Among the
missing officers are Coils. Dablgren, Cook

to be prisoners.
At length we have some definite intelIl-
gence from Gen. Sherman. % the lth

INDICTMENT OF ANDREWS FOR TREA-
SOMA letter to the Philadelphia Iaquir-
or, dated New York, Feb. 27, says:
"The Grand Jury in the United States
Circuit Court, before Judge Shipman have
indicted the notorious John A. Andrews
for treason, levying war against the Uni
ted States, resisting the draft, and setting
on foot rebellion against the United States.
Andrews will now at last be brought from
Fort Lafayette, and arraigned for trial on
Monday next"
Andrews, it will be remembered, was
one OF Lpcoln's office. .holders--sn Office
in the Custom House. He was an officer
of the New York "Loyal League" and
was very "loyal," and in favor of sending
all copperheads to prison. Like all well
booked up Abolitionists, he was opposed
TO peace on any terms, and in favor of the
war going op, and hence he conceived thai
the best way 90 prolong the war, was tc
furnish the rebels with powder, arms and
clothing. He was but doing what many
Others in his party bave done in another
way. The Administration itself has aided
the rebels in different but quite as eff
fective manner. Andrews, doubtless
will be convicted, and then Lincoln vii
quickly pardon him. Mark if this is no
the end of the matter.

A Curious Coincidence.

At the Presidential election Of 1860
fourteen thousand three hundred and
forty seven votes were cast in the State
of Florida. According to Mr.. LINCOLN q

iour converts to abolition would suffice to
bring the State back to the Union but
while he has failed to get that number as
yet, and may therefore lose the electoral
of that State, the killed aaa wounded in
the last expedition just about amount TO

hundred. 1t will be singular if, when
the accounts are corrected, the number
should be exactly fourteen hundred and
