"Mr Speaker, the men Of this era Of whom
the poet will sing in the highest strains, the
men whom the orator will most eulogizs, the

We should judge that white soldiers are
getting to be very poor fighters by the aide Of
negroes According to the dispatches, u was
the negro troops who did the bold lighting and

Military Commissions.

We learn by the Cincinnati press that
the CoLEs' county criminals are soon to
be tried by military conam'ssio". and
that the officers composing it have already
been selected Our readers will remember
the exaggerated stories about a rebellion
in ILLINOIS, which finally turned out to be
q difficulty between soldiers and citizens
We say nothing now as to who was in
the right OF who in the wrong in that un-
fortunate affair, desiring to call public at
tention to the fact that the most sacred
right of freemen is about to be again vio-
lated under the auspices Of this miserable
administration. The apathy OF tho Amer
lean people and of the press upon this
subject amaEes us. The holding of mil
itary commission or any other illegal tn
bunal in the British Dominions would
create the most extraordinary and danger
Gus excitement Even two hundred years
ago, it assisted in overthrowing a mon
archy. But in free America, with writ
ten constitution, it does not excite even {
comment Into what a depth of apathy
we have fallen
There is no more authority to try th,
Coles county criminals by military com
mission than there is for Mr., LINcoLB t
put a crown on his head, and declare him
self emperor of AMERICA. The courts 0
Illinois are open. Impartial juries can b.
had and proper punishment inflicted,
any is deserved. The very legislation 0
the last abolition congress made provision
for the handing over Of all political pris
oners to the civil authorities. Yet in de
fance even of their own laws are they nov
about to try men by military commits
