A al aot Of justice to the publisher and
editors Of the LEADER the following ex-
plsnation is sneessEsry:
On Saturday morning q notice Of the
Old Soldiers Advocate appeared in the 10
cal column Of the LEkDER, ss follows - -
TEE CID SoLD1EH's ADvooATE.-The sec
end number ofthe sixth volume Of this valu-
able paper now lies before US. 1t is edited
bv Col. G. F. Lewis, gentleman ot tWen-
~ years experience in the Land Warrant
and Pension business, who has had
charge Of the Old Soldiers Aovocste
since its start, and has increased 1t
from a email and unimportant sheet to Its
nreeeut position and influence. Il now
contains more information on the subject
Of military laws than is to be found IN any
other iournei. Colonel Lewis is an earnest
rsformer, with ooErsge and disinterestea, ,
ness enough 10 attack corruption ana

motto Of mis- paper, Fear God, aud noin-
fhe a Soldiers Advocate is published
monthly ct fifty cents year.
This article was written and handed IN
to the Counting Room by Mr. Lewis, the
uublisbsr Of the Advocate, and after being
modified, was inserted without the knoWI'

wording Of the notice makes the Leader
indirectly endorse that attack.

| Loyal AiRbamiaus.
There is q loyal white cavalry regiment
Of Alabamians. There men have sll suf-
fyred great deal and are entitled to great
crsditf for brssking away from all disloyal
associations.
The regiment was raised in Corinth,
Mississippi, its organization was complet-
ed in September last. The first company
was raised in January, 1862, by Captain
Burdick, and was composed entirely Of the
refugees then in the federal lines and
around COrinth. Immediately after the
completion of the first company second
was started, increasing thus until the en-
tire twelve were filed. The regiments
numbers more than twelve hundred men,
having for duty, st present, about nine
hundred out of the twelve.
A correspondent of the Evening Post
describes the manner in which it was re.
cruited, as follows;
"The manner Of recruiting was singular
snd venturesome. Men, acquainted with
country, were cent from the camps TO the
Union counties in Alabama, travelling at
night and through the woods to avoid OBJ
ssrvatiOn; in that way penetrating a dis
tance Of from one hundred and fifty to two
hundred miles. They would then hide
themselves in the caves in the mountains.
and by stratsgem manage to communi-
este with Union men. After having got
together forty or fifty men, willing to run
risk Of attempting 10 gain the federal lines,
they would start cautiously, travel by night
and through woods, steHuously avoiding
the public roads till out Of reach Of danger.
Under every trial this mode succeeded sd-
mirably, Corinth being reached safely in
each instance. This was carried on so sue.
oessfully for sometime that Governor
Shorter, Of Alabama, offered ten thousand
dollars reward for the body Of any federal
recruiting officer taken in that State.
"The numeFous caves in Winston county,
in the vicinity Of Charles eagles resi-
denoe, made his house a favorits rsndez-
Tous for our recruiting parties. He re-
ceived al who came to him cordially, fed
and aided them oil in his power. For two
years previous to his murder this poor fel.
low hsd been oohged to sleep in some OF
these caves for safety But to continue:
as specimen Of the suc9ess Of recruiting
at that time, l will mention one instance
worthy of notice.
In September Colonel Spencer selected
Lieutensnt Wamel as the most suitable
Psrson for this purpose, directing him to
raiss q company in Walker county, Ala
bsms. He travelled, with a detail Of pick
ed mea, & distance of some two hundred
aud some odd milea They walked the en-
tire defiance, got togst5sF sls hundred
and ten men, returning TO camp in fftePn
days from the time Of starting, bringing
With them twelve prisoners and valuable
rebel mail. The success Of Wamels expe-
3ision gave him the capacity Of the newly
recruited company, and his brothsr-oficers
unite in declaring that brager or better
man is not in the service"
This regimenthas already captured over
zine hundred prisoners. Il has proved
brave and venturesone regiment.
1t is now proposed TO raise a brigade
from loyal Alsbamians.

The COnscription Blu.


But few days remain before the draft
Of the tenth Of Msrch will be enforced.-
Those who are looking forward to delay,
might as well resign all hope CT shst sort,
and go to work vigorously to raise their
full quota.
The bill passed on Friday last is intend
ed to I'LL up the army. A certifcats Of
having paid $500, will not secure an indi-
vidusl for three years against all farther
calls. The only chance for such exempt
ion, is to get substitute not liable to draft
for at least three years. If liable sooner,
the principal becomes subject in filing fu-
ture quotas. These are themost important
features Of the bill, although there are
others Of subordinate interest.
In the superintendent Of the quotas Of
different localities, account is to be taken
as far as practicable of the number Of men
they have previously furnished to the ser
vice, and localities are to be credited with
those who have entered the naval service
Enrolment Boards are to revise their
schedules, with the visW Of adding al
names that have been omitted, as well as
sll persons who shall arrive ct the sge Of
twenty previous TO the draft and al slienl
who shall declare their intention to become
citizens.
Members of religious bodies, who car
swear they are opposed to the .besriag o
arms, sad who are prohibited from so do
ing by the articles and rules Of faith o
their denomination, are, when drafted, t.
be assigned to hospitals or the care of tn
freedmen. The following are exempt;
Such as are rejected as physically o
mentally unfit for the service; also, per
sons actually in the military or naval ser
vice Of the United States at the time Of tn
draft, and all persons who have served il
the military or naval service two year
during the present war and bsen honOTa
bly, discharged therefron. The two class
ss are consolidated, and the bill also oen
tsins the section for enrolling all the able
bodied males OF African descent, So, upol

The Chicago Tribune on Gen. Garfeldl
The Chicago Tribune, in long editorial
on our Ohio Congressman, after proving
from history that the experience of SOL
dier's life is one Of the best schools for the
Statesman, says;
But Gen. Garfield in the speech On con-
fiscation he lately made in Congress, said
a few words on the subject, which ere 50
simple, clear, and straight to the point,
that they revive hops. He brings forward
Z maxim which covers the Whoie--cese, and
makes solution Of the problem easy, and
We doubt If the Iron Duke ever stated a
grander one; we ara cure he never spoke
one so full of popular sympathy and trust.

people desire to do do thing which ought

means of doing it." This great people de-

shall no longer be subject to the dictstion
Of slave holders; that rebels and traitors
shall neither make its laws nor shape its
course, and that there may be peace, solid

that slavery ought TO be destroyed, and
they will find the means Of doing it. Ii
is vain that any efforts are made to bind
their hands with fine spun metaphysical
argument, or entsnglo their feet In the
msEhes Of legal logic and fiction The
people feel that there is but one only way
in which reconstruction ought TO tske

The cslumination OF warfare In ancient
davs was reached, when the legions of the
uroud conoueror had kewei their way to
the capital OK an empire, and thundered
At the cstes. Our armies are about en-
ieriug upon a grand campaign which
PROMISES to penetrate the very core Of the
1sbslliOn. Grant, Thomas, shermsn'
Meade, Butler and Banks, are push
ing forward their steady veterans
and already threaten to drive rebellion
within the limits Of single State.
Sherman, with large army, is reported
slre.dv to have left Jackson behind him.
His forces are to be pushed forward either
"a take Mobile or Montgomery, or come
down nightly upon the tanks Of General
Johnston. General Thomas can operate
on the line between Dalton and Atslanta
II sherman, by his expedition, does not
sooner get possession Of Mississippi, and
oompel q retirement on the part Of the
rebels from their position on the CoOsa.
General Grant has Longstreet slSo to
shsvsise, and this, We may feel assured,
will be done. Too much Importance can
not be attached to the possession Of East
Tennessee and Northern Georgia. 1t is
fair to oonclude, therefore, that the Gov
ernment has its eyes open, and will BY no
mans lsava General Sohofeld unsupport-
cd in Knoxville.
While this is going forward Gen. Banks
oan play very efficient part. His move
ment will probably result in the capture
Of Mobile. With tse army of Banks in
Mobile and Sherman in Meridian, his first
objective point, we get possession Of the
Mobile and Ohio Railroad, together with
the Tombiebee and Alabama rivers. With
these two srmies on the southwest, and
Grant on the north, the rebel forces IN AIa-
bana and Gssrei are placed 5etsossH thsHP-
Per and aethsr nsiH stones Of I0aT, and the
rebel hordes may be ground to powder in
the terrific crushing and grinding which
such 8 disposition Of our fOr0es must
necessarily compel.
sach a bold, audacicus and original
combination SIS this must no. only put the
rebels on the alert in new quarter, and
require new movements Of troops on their
part to thwart it, buE finally drive the reb-
el vagabonds that are left into the narrow
limits Of South Carolina. II this should
be the closing act in the great tragedy Of
cur bloody rebellion, there would be no
better boards upon which to present it to
the civilized world, than South Carolina.
Here treason was frat fomented. Here it
nrst flung off all restraints and committed
the suicidal act. If the last laundering at
the gates is TO be done here, it will only be
. righteous IetributiOn visited upon
fssrfaIly guilty people.

The Str, nrsh rhs Rebels:

In rec Mt deb lie in the rebel Congrese,
Mr. Smith Of North Carolina, said the Con.
feisreey has at this time 100000 on its
muster rolls, though probably not more
than one Aa!fdre actually in tbs field. Mr..
HOlcombe, Of Virginia, followed and said
they bad 100000 in the field. Which
is right? The following frsm the
Richmond Whig will sustain MIR.

They probably will have 100000 men,
after enforcing their merciless conscrip-
tion. This of course will be q mighty army;
and, well handled, are capable Of dealing
gigantic blews. Beyond that number,
however, they cannot go. The military
basis is exhausted. If our own armies are
properly strengthened and managed, there
can be no doubt Of the ultimate result
