The Wade and Davis Prutest.


One week having elapsed since the Man
ifest of Senator Wade and Henry Winter
Davis, there has been an opportunity for
almost every man to form his opinions of
the intrinsic merits of the document, or of
the proprety of such a document at the
present time.
In the first place it is very evident, what
ever object its authors had in view, that the
Copperheads have been in twitter of sat
isfaction, and have exulted in it as an evil
dence of distraction in the Union party so
strong that the opportunity Of victory was
now afforded them. 1t is asserted that they
intend publishing the Protest as cam
paign document. II is certainly to be re-
garded as very good weapon in their
hands, unless Union men are ready to
waive petulant criticism and unite upon the
man who alone can give victory to the I'm
ion cause.
Among Unionists there is a decided feel
ing of opposition to the creation Of distrac-
tons in their midst, that make no black
hairs white nor white ones black. Irrits-
ting and chatting criticism, unless it can ac-
complish what is desired only serves to ag-
gravate the evil to be cured.
With an almost universal unaninity
among the 10y al Press in the country, there
has been marked hostility to the multiple
cation and perpetuation of feuds and differ

al doctrine that tho Legislative is tire power
to settle the question Of reconstruction, and
While we may entertain our own private
views as to Mr., Lincoln policy and execu-
tive character we do not, therefore, feel
authorized in transferring the interests of a
great cause over to an enemy in whose
hands that cause must materially ysuffer.
The first duty of every loyal man is to
sustain the Government in crushing the re-
Dellion and establishing Liberty and Union
throughout our whole domain. If mani
fests and protests and chickering's and quer-
ulous complaining are calculated to advance
the cause we love, well and good but II
olherwise-if inglorious defeat and betrayal
of a great cause are to be the consequences,
We cannot understand how it is consistent
with the duty of loyal men and that Of
keeping the Government in Loyal turltf=, TO
infame the prGudices and passions of the
deople and thus lose the very cause to be
gained.

POSITION Of General sherrnan's Army.

Louisville Journal, August 10.
The general position of our army before
Atlanta, and the location of many of the
Kentucky regiments sastsep at5et'hfnlt interest 10 our
iaIl 10 9e and from the graphioIetters Of cor
respondents and the already written history
If the war, we think we have arrived at q
pretty correct idea of both. First as 10 the
position of the army. A few days since it
stretched with its ght near the Western
and Macon Railroad, and curved around
the city, and across the Atlanta Railroad
between the city and the Chattahootchee
River, to near the railroad leading to Deca-
tur, on the east OF the place The line is
thus in shape Of crescent on the three
sides of Atlanta, and its average distance
from the city is two and II half miles. Gen.
Howard, with theSS SSlamented McPheIsonjs
command, holds the extreme right near the
Macon road. Next In the curve comes the
Fourteenth Corps, under General Palmer,
which, at the railroad leading from the
Chattahootchee River 10 Atlanta, connects
with the Twentieth Corps, now comman-
ded by Gen. Williams; the left Of the
Twentieth joins the right of the Fourth
Corps, now under Gen. Stanley, which
agarI connects with Schof5lds Twenty
tnIrd Corps, forming the extreme left. The
rebels iront us in extended lines, occupy
ing the interior arc of the very strongest
imaginable works. The belt of bellieerent
ground between the two mighty armies
Is very narrow tbickly wooded and hilly.
Over and along this narrow belt the hos
tie forces charge and surge as the wave
Of battle rolls to and Iro continuously
5kirmisding is going on all the time, so
heavily that day after day there is al
most one uninterrupted roar of battle
Hundreds of cannon are all the time
laundering, and iron missiles Of every
shape and size are sent screaming, hurl-
ing and bursting across this narrow tor
rid zone of war, until the very air seethes
with the battle storm. By day there is'
cesseie-s diapason of artillery, while az
night the scene is lighted up with The
glare Of burning buildings the barefdl
nght of whicR Is thrown back upon the
hills and forest Our shells and shot fre

About Recruiting Negroes.

-rl Immediately upon the call for 5O0,0O5
men, and the passage of Bill by Congress
allowing recruiting in the rebel states,
there was a general anxiety manifested
everywhere to fll np quotas by the liberal
use of money amongst the negroes of the
disloyal districts. Agents from all parts of
thecountry are at work in the South already.
but SO far as we are able to learn, very
few recruits are being obtained for this
part Of the country. In the first place the
agents from the Eastern states have gone
to the South prepared to offer much high
er bounty than is being offered here in the
West. In addition to this, recruiting
agents receive but little encouragement
among the soldiers and government ofici-
ais in the rebellious regions. The reason
of this is, not that the soldiers do not wish
the army filed up. but that they are desi-
rOus Of having it filed up by draft from
the people, Down in Nashville they say,
ave want you lazy, money-making men
Of the North to take your share Of the heat
and burthen of the war, as we have done.
We don't want you to come down here and
buy men to take your place Recruit from
your own midst, or stand draft"
I Is undoubtedly true that too much re-
lance is being placed upon recruiting in |
the South, and that sufficient is not done
here in cur own midst. If the people will
go to work among themselves, they will be
able to fI their quotas more rapidly than
by relying on the agencies in the South.
Let men once realize that by volunteering
they can get large bounties, and be absent
from home no longer than if they are
drafted.
The coming draft is certain to take
large number, possibly one in four Of the
able bodied men. A large proportion of
those liable to be drafted are morally GER
tain to be called out. Instead Of waiting
for the event, there are tens Of thousands
who if they volunteer in time, will leave a
large bounty behind for those dependent
upon them, whereas, if drafted, they leave /
little or nothing. i
Substitutes after the draft, will command .
from 1000 to 1900 dollars.
None but the very rich can hope to se-
cure them. -aaT ei
Let these facts be understood generally, g
and there are few places that cannot fill 9
their quotas by volunteering from their :
own midst. i
Do not place your dependence on recruit
ing agencies in the South.

somebody's DARLING.

Into ward Of the Ehite-washed halls,
Where the cad and dying iAy
Wounded by bryOnets, shells and balls,
Somebody's Darli1 is borne one day
Somebody's Darlings soang and SO brave
Wearing yet on his pales sweet face
Soon TO be hid by The du-t or the grave,
The lingering light Of his boyhood's grace
Matted and damp are the curls Of gold,
Kissing the snow Of the fair young brow
Pale are the lips Of delicate mould
Somebody's Darling IS dying now.
Back nom his beautiful blue-Yeined brow,
Brush all the wandering waves Of gold;
o. oss his hands on his bosom now
Somebody's Darling Is still and cold
Kiss him once for somebody's sake,
Murmur prayer both soft and low
One bri ht curl from its fair mates take
They were SOMEBODY pride, you know
Somebody's hand hath rested there
Was II a mothers, soft and white
And have the lips ofa sister fair
Been baptized in the waves ofHghtz
God knows best he has somebody's love;
Somebody's heart enshrined him there;
Somebody waited his name above, -0 a
Night and morn, on the wings of prayer,
Somebody wept when he marched away,
Locking so handsome, brave and grand
Somebody's kiss on his forehead lay,
Somebody clung 10 his parting hand.
Somebody's waiting and watching for him
Ycsrn ng to hold him again TO her heart;
And there be lies with his blue eyes dim,
And the smiling, child like lips apart
Tenderly bury the fair younS dead,
Pausiug to drop on hi- grave tear;
