A Serious Charge.

General Rosecrans, in recent dinner.
table speech, made the following statement:
"Previous to the battle OF Chickamauga,
he telegraphed to General IIalleck to know
whether any portion Of the rebel army Of
Virginia had been sent southwark, and Gen.
Halleck replied that no troops OF Lees army
had been sent in that direction, except q
few regiments to Charleston. Cries OF
Shame! Shame!' from the officers In oon-
sequence OF this false information, the Army
of the Cumberland encountered superior
numbefs; for Lopgstreet, from Lees army,
was there with over twenty thousand men.
and the whole force of the enemy was sg
least ninetysthree thousand, whils tho
Union force was not more than fifty five
Thousand" .t....
That was pretty serious charge for an
officer OF the rank oi Gen. Rosecrsns to
make against the General in,Chie!. The
disaster of Chickamauga is here placed to
the credit Of Gen. Hslleck, ostensibly bu,
in fact, to that of the Secretary Of War, Mr..
Stanton. The General in"Chief and the
Secretary Of War attribute our defeat, as
that place, to ths "blundering incompeten-
cy" of Gen. Rosecrans; and for that retired
him to a post department. One thing is
certain, whether from incompetency at Wash
ington, or on the part oil the Generals in the
field. we met with very sad reverse at
Chickamauga. a'- aA .H. -

A Free Fight for Frem mt.

The German Republicans have gone
into the Fremont movement with a
will. They have become so thoroughly
in earnest that it is plain nothing can
ever induce them to vote for Lincoln.
Indeed, their whole movement is more
of protest against him than an advo-
cacy of any other candidate. The
spirit of the Germans can be Judged
by the following extract from a speech
made by one Casper Butz at radical
meeting in Chicago:
"He said he did not think there was
single man present at the meeting
who would stand up and say that A.
braham Lincoln should be reelected
President of the United States. He
had told the people of this country
that the best policy for the country
was nopolicy at all, [Laughter.1 So
far as he [Mr. Butz was personally
concerned, he did not want any such
man for Presidentof the United States.
Cheers. Hethought Abraham Lin>
coin was the weakest and worst man
that ever filled the presidential chair.
Great cheering. He had no merits
worthy of emulation, and had no
more sense than child. Loud laugh
ter and applause ] He considered
him perfect imbecile. Renewed APP
plause. a
"He had come from the little town
of Springfield, and had acted as if he
had never seen any other place. He
had tried to direct the generals in the
field. but in this he had slgnally failed.
The generals who were far distant
from Washington always won their
battles, while those who were near the
capital always lost them. Loud
cheers. If a general once came un-
der the blighting influence of Lincoln,
he was sure to lose everything. He
was decidedly opposed to the nomina-
ton of Lincoln at the Baltimore Con-
vention, and in the event of Lincoln
being reoelected, he would dread the
consequences. Cameron would be sure
to be taken back into the cabinet, and
this country would become the re-
proach of every country in the world.
He wished to see Fremont nominated
and elected, and he felared himself in
favor of voting for iany one except
Lincoln and Vallandigham. Loud
cheers. He thought they should do
all in their power to secure the nomina-
tion for next President of John G.
Fremont, and resumed shis seat amid
great applause.
The reading of this speech will not
make "Honest Old Abe good-natur-
ed, but there is good deal of the
same kind of talk going on in native
Republican circles.

1t has been stated that Col. VOL.
ford, of Kentucky, after being dis
missed from the service for his Lexing-
ton speech, has been reinstated. But
as the fact of his dismissal is being
constantly reiterated, and nothing
further said about his reinstatement,
we conclude that he still stands dis.
missed. The Knoxville correspondent
of the N. Y. Tribune says of him: "No
man has shown more steady devotion
to the Union cause, or has exceeded
him in self>denial and gallantry in the
field. He has been seriously wounds
ed six times and had sixteen horses
shot under him in BATTLE" Yet this
gallant officer, for presuming to speak
the truth, as he regarded it, in a pub
lie address-to denounce to the Ad-
ministration for its broken pledges and
its monstrous usnrpations, was dishon>
orably dismissed from the army; and
the determination of those in author>
ity seems to be that he shall remain in
disgrace. But such disgrace will be
to him in the eyes of his countrymen
hereafter, laurel wreath = [States~

R&se The Cincinnati Gaze

g@@ The Cincinnati Gazette
takes Secretary Chase severely to
task for his management of the nation
al finances, and adds very justly:
"But the imposition of obligations
upon him should not attract attention
from duties which devolve upon Con,
gress, and which have been so infa-
mously neglected. Instead of levying
proper excise taxes, the lawmakers
have, by most unwarrantable delay,
defeated the prime objects of their
Legislation, and laid themselves open
to the imputation that bribery has
caused their procrastination. Instead
of revising the whole revenue system
aud securely providing for the public
credit, they are wasting their time. in
political cabals and presidential fill,
clustering. In nothing can they have

have well and faithfully done their du-

bled in Washington that the perma~

be greatly increased; yet they heed
lessly omit to make sure the basis of
credit that must be had to enable the

a&as% The negro equality doctrines

B@~ The negro equality doctrines
are fast becoming cardinal feature Of
the Administration programme. The
Philadelphia North American, lead
ing Republican paper, says:
"None but the baser sort of people
would wish the colored race to live
among us either as slaves or degraded
freemen; for degraded they must be if
entirely deprived of those political
privileges which constitute the es-
sence Of citizenship. When once they
show themselves worthy of these, the
strong reaction in their favor, which is
already distinctly observable, will
doubtless receive an additional impe-
tus; and then may we expect to see
such measure of justice and compen-
sation as shall atone for the wrongs
which have hereteforefbeen inflicted. I"
1t needs no prophet to foretell what
all this leads to.

The Washington correspondent ofthe New

each OF equal strength, from different points
to the great converging Richmond -
These armies are to bs under the respective
commands Of General Meade (probably Ma.
jor Gen. w. F. Smith) and Major General
Burneide (nominally under Major General
Butler,) the whole under the personal direc.
ton OF Lieutenant General Grant. One ar

road, and, or thereabouts; the other will
move up the Peninsula. Burnside's army,

to colossal dimensions, and this, when al.

Interference. with Rights OF the
Press.

The New York New Nation, the
Fremont organ, is doing good SER
vice by telling some tales out of
school. In it's last number it says:
"But what is to be thought of an
Administration that is afraid of its
friends, of the presses that helped to
put it in power? 1t argues something
rotten in Denmark. The raid of the
Administration against the press of
the country was not intended so much
for the disloyal journals as the loyal
or Republican ones; but the latter saw
its purpose and got out of the way
1t was deliberately contemplated at
one time to pounce down upon cer-
tain Republican journals, and to
thrust into the National forts two or
three ofthe principal Republican pub
licists of the country, if not more, and
the execution of this design was only
delayed in waiting for public opinion
to harden sufficiently to make it safe
for the Administration to enter upon
SO hazardous an experiment. Public
opinion, however, did not rise to that
pitch of induration to justify the moves
ment, and the scheme was, Fortunate
ly for its projectors, abandoned. In
deed, public opinion by degrees rescu-
ed the Republican press from the dan
gers of Administrative intolerance, and
that press is beginning to reassert its
right ofspeech with decided success.
1t was not until the said papers
found themselves in danger that they
defended the inalienable right of free
press and free speech. The papsss

sM The quarrel about General

sF The quarrel about General
Blair's liquor bill in Congress is be>
coming very interesting. 1t will be
remembered that some time ago Blair
made bitter attack upon Chase and
the corruption of his agents on the
Mississippi. The retort of these peo-
pie was the production of orders said
to have been made by Blair for imense
quantities of liquors to smuggle through
the lines to the rebels. Blair declares
and it seems has succeeded in proving,
that these orders are deliberate for
geries. This puts Chase and his asso-
ciates in bad box. If these people do
not scruple to issue forged papers to
ruin mans character, what faith
can be put in the genuineness of the
greenback currency they are issuing?

The Coles County Affirm ".

The detailed account Of the recent lamsnt-
able aff,ir in Coles County, furnished by OUT
special reporter, and printed elsewhere in
this sheet, exhibits Abolitionisu in two of
its most marked charac ter istcs, viz: msliR>
nant brutality when the power is its own to
iDfict injury, and the most ahjsct cowsrdics
when i, is in danger Of punishment for ITS
atrocities. In Coles County it has for months
made the returned soldiers the instruments
OF every sort OF partisan insults and outrage
upon Democrats, and the. instant it was
threatened with retalistory measures, it dug
holes in the ground fJr its own security
Such is Abolitionism in Coles County, snd
as it is there, SO it is every whers.
Deplorable az the event OF Charleston ID, it
may have its salutary uses. 1t may teach
Aboltionism that there is q limit to it's atfo,
cities. and admonish the superior military
authorities that soldiers, stimulated by Alb.
olition malevolence and rum, must not be
turned loose upon quiet, peaceful, and unet-
lending people. 1t may awaken those who
most need to be awakened to the condition
OF things which is growing up under tbs,
reign Of lawless violence in the land, and
bring all parties to realizing sense OF tho
great fact that there is no safety but in the
law. II these sbsl! be its uses, lame Mt able

The Military Power Above the
Civil i'm Ohio

The Grand Jury of Fairfield county,
Ohio, has indicted some soldiers for
riot and manslaughter committed in
Lancaster. Being indicted for a civil
ofense, it is, of course, necessary and
proper that the soldiers should be de-
livered up to the civil authorities for
trial. If we had q Governor of Ohio,
and not q mere agent of the Federal
Administration, it would be done; but,
as it is, we have no such hopes. Read
the following:

taken an official oath to do so. Despite
