marked out for himself There exists no 10y
al government in any Rebel State while ex-
clusively under the domination of Rebel
authorities Our armies enter State. What
shall the President do? Leave the inhabi-
tants thereof ungoverned, or institute some
method of government designed to restore as
soon as possible the powers of State to the
loyal people thereof? Manifestly the latter.
This he has done in every case so far as pos
sible. He cannot be bound down to any one
plan, especially when that plan embraces
grave Constitutional objections. He must
hold himself open to adapt himself to the
ever-varying circumstances of time. This he
has done, and the people will approve his
course, no matter What soreheads may say.
Messrs. Wade and Davis close with a re-
sumo of the details of the bill, and compa-
rison of it with one of the plans pursued by
the President But inasmuch as the Presi-
dent has expressed his approval of them in
the main, there is no use in discussing them.
The result of the Manifesto is simply to
make still more clear the wisdom of the Pres
ident's course.

ARMY OF THE PoToNAc,
Aug. 4, l864.|
Having just witnessed the departure for
City Point of some of the wounded of the
4th Division, (colored), of Burnside's Corps,
am moved to write you a word.
do not think that the failure of Both July
can be justly charged to the colored troops
They advanced in fine style as is admitted by
all /; but it was inevitable that the subsequent
delays and their losses during this period of
inactiOn, should blunt the fine edge of SOL
dier's enthusiasm. About two divisions of
troops, white and colored, were crowded into
the narrow area of the exploded fort, proba
bly, about a quarter of an acre in extent,
rendering it impossible for officers to keep
their men separate from those of other COM
mands A staff officer told me that in going
TO the rear for orders, he did not touch the
ground; he went over the men, as he could
not penetrate the mass. The ground over
which they were ordered to charge to Semi
nary Hill, was open and favorable for the
movement, but in addition to the fire from
the front, for which they cared but little, both
tanks were exposed, rendering the destruc-
tion of any force certain. OF the few who
ventured to make the attempt, scarcely any
returned.
One Of the colored regiments, which went
into action with not more than six hundred
and fifty men, lost four hundred; and of its
eighteen line officers, sixteen were shot, The
officers appear to have literally led their men.
An eye-witnes said to me that one of the no.
blest sights he ever beheld, was the lament
ed Lieut.. Col Bross, bearing the cOlors of
his regiment. The fire was most fatal on ac-
count of the short range.
The accounts respecting the treatment of
colored prisoners by the rebels are various
and conflicting One of our officers, who
was in their hands while, reports that of
thirty-six captured, twelve were policing the
grounds of a Gen. johnson. This though not
cruel is contrary to usage.
Though disappointed, we do not distrust
Divine Providence, or permit a disloyal
doubt. MILES.

A Gang of CounterfeIters Broken IN.

Col G. L. Beker has returned to Washing
ton from the West bringing with him and
lodging in the Old Capitol Prison sixteen per-
sons whom he arrested for manufacturing and
circulating counterfeit notes of the denomina-
ton of $50, $50, 500 and 90 cents. He also
brought with him the plates, eleven presses,
paper, inks, dies, &C., for forging 20 cent me-
tallic pieces, the latter to be circulated in
Mexico and other foreign countries. The
mandatory near Indianapolis was the most
extensive. An entire family of six or seven
persons were engaged in the printing and
trimming of the notes, which are all good inn
itations of the genuine notes. Branches ex-
listed in Saint Louis, COvington and Nauvoo,
ILL.,, which are now suppressed Their prin-
cipals and employees are in prison.
While travelling with the prisoners, when
between Altoona and Harrisburg, one of the
guilty parties, although his legs we're fastened
with irons, made his escape from car while
in motion and was killed by the fall
1t is said a very large quantity of spurious
paper has been secured, much of that manu-
featured has found its way into the hands of
the soldiers in the west Agents for its sale
and circulation had been established in va
rious localities. The precise extent of the
fraud is not yet known, but it is believed
millions are in circulation. This is by far the
most important arrest of forgers and capture
of instruments which has ever taken place
in the United States or any other country.
