WASHINGTON, April 2O.-The transfer of
men from the army to the navy is at length
commenced; four hundred are already COL
lected at Baltimore from the Army of the
Potomac and this depot.
Butler has written very spirited letter
to high functionary here, of which the
concluding paragraph reads as follows:
IF the arrangement proposed is carried
out, it would have the effect of making me
mere recording secretary for the will of
Major General w. f. Smith, who would be
the commander. To this can not submit.
The office of civil mayorof Old Point Com
fort is not the sort of service for which 1
was mustered in. I, therefore, most respect
fully demand either to be relieved altogeth-
er of my position, or have, under the Cen
eral-in-chief, supreme control and direction
of my military movements, having base
within the limits Of my department"
Twenty men, sentenced to death for de-
sertion, had their sentences commuted by
the President to hard labor at the Dry Tor

Late Washington dispatches say that
there is not the least probability of active
operations on the Potomac unless the en-
envy provoke hostilities. Why this is SO
we are unable to see, unless it is a fact,
which we believe it is, that GRANT has
been completely whaled and IS unable to
act on the offensive. IF this he SO we
need not expect any more fighting in
that locality till next summer, az it will
require this fall and winter to draft and
discipline men to fill the murderously
thinned ranks of GRANTS army. An
unrelenting and hea-tiess consumption
may be looked for in less than six weeks
from this time ; and then, it will be, that
we will experience some of the sweets of
Abolition rule, when one million of white
men viii be dragged from their homes
and helpless families to be exposed to the
stormy blasts of mid winter to prepare
for the slaughter next spring. That will
be ABE's lastjoke. Look ont for it.

CONsIsTENCY.

We noticed in the ReUs6urg Herald,
a lying, filthy, eightby-ten Abolition pa
per published in the bastard State OF
West Virginia, an extract from. a speech
of JOHN a. LOGAN, a LINCOLN puppy,
in which he d~enounces the Hon. G.. FL.
PENDLEToN because he is not in favor OF
Saging a war for purpose of subjugatipg
the South. To show what Gen. LOGAN
thought of restoring the Union by war,
we subjoiu the following extract from a
letter be wrote to a friend while he was q
member Of Congress:
"There is DO use of talking about coer-
cion to- make the States come back. They
may be subdued, but never made to stay
in the Union, unless some safe compro-
mise is made by the Republicans. They
talk ofWar ; this would be the everlasting
overthrow of all our institutions, resulting
only in despotism."
Let the Loyal League EDITOR Of Herald
put the above paragraph in his pipe and
Smoke it.

From the Crisis.l
From shcrmau's Army.

We have been handed a letter from q
soldier in Sherman's army, to his wife
From it We purpose using such extracts
as may throw light upon the condition
and morale of this army as viewed by q
private member of it. The letter is dated
at East Point, Ga, Sept. 18th. At that
date the soldier says:
"We are only getting half ~rations now,
and VI had little enough before. Now we
have to fast sometimes two days at a time.
AS for myself I had nothing to eat from
Thursday until this morning (Sunday.)
We draw rations for three days, and if I
were well 1 could. eat it all at one meal
Since we have been down here I have Of
ten thought if I only had what we used
to feed to the dogs 1 could make a good
meal. I have been so hungry that L
have taken the %rations off ths dead Rebs,
and eaten out of their haversacks with a
good relisb-corn bread and fat. We
have done this after nearly every battle;
for sometimes, we are fighting twenty
four hours without eating a bite. The
reason we are short of rations is because
the Rebs, of late, have cut the railroad
in several places. and it delayed our
trains, and again they are feeding ~ on
half ratlons, so they can get . large sup

We have telegraphic news from most
of the States in reference to the election.
The indications are that LlNeoLN is car
rying everything. Ohio gives him shout
5000 majority, Indiana from $4,000 to
8 5000, Michigan about $1,000 aud the
loyal State of Massachusetts, about $4,000.
The ether States go for Lincoln in about
the came proportion. It is probable that
SEYMOUR Is elected Governor of New
York. The die las been cast and the
word has been spoken. The fat Of fate
has sealed forever the doom of free Amer
lea, unless the people demand a restora
tion of their liberties and enforce that
demand, if needs be, By force of arms.
1t IS coming to that issue as rapidly as it
can. We sicken with the thoughts of the
results in the future.

week and congratulated US very highly
for our soldierIy conduct and bravery dur.
ing the campaign. They said the 18th
Corps never was surpassed by any army
in the war, as it had never been whipped

during this campaign, thirteen hard bas-
ties that we had made two of the har-
dest charges against the rebel breastworks,
and drove them from the many hiding
places, of any corps in the United States

great many more that were wounded, and
the balance have their resting place on

fought every step of the way and drove
the "Johnny's" before US. We have q

There are some three hundred of cur
men, and a Brigadjer General, and the
same number of Febs that are all quite
friendly to each other. They are at Rough

if it be so that Lincoln is elected. Green
