Letter from Washington.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ia, 1864


Mr. EDITOR The National Capital
is again crowded with Legislators, Of.
flee holders, and Office seekers. with a
goodly number of curious lookers-on
to see how the great men Of the ma
ton conduct themselves both in pub.
lie and in private matters.
The prominent subject Of interest
for the past few days has been the
War Department order in regard to
the organization Of q new volunteer
army corps, under the supervision Of
Major General Hancock, who is to be
it's commander. The corps IS to con.
sist Of not less than twenty thousand
infantry; the enlisted men to be able
bodied, and those who have served
honorably two years. and are there.
fore not subject TO the draft. Any
U. s. District Provost Marshal is au-
thorized to decide the qualifications
for admission to the corps. and If ap-
proved. will furnish the veteran trans.
mission to Washington. where he will
be regularly mustered for not less
than one year. aud will be paid spe.
cial bounty Of three hundred dollars
from the substitute fund upon being
mustered into the service. This spe.
cial inducement must be understood
as in addition to the regular bounty
Of one, two, and three hundred dollars
paid for one, two. and three years en-.
listments respectively. Also, it is al
lowed for any recruit to receive such
local bounties as may be paid at the
districts where their families are dom
iciled, to which district they will be
credited. The corps will have o spe'
cial badge to designate it. or peculiar
uniform.
The promise that each recruit who
preserves his arms to the end of his
term may retain them az his own, up
ON being honorably discharged from
service. IL feature which gives grea
inducemcnt for good men TO encour
age this movement who would appre
ciatc this liberal offer Of the Govern,
mcnt, and always thereafter carefully
preserve them as relics earned in |
fearful contest for Liberty and Union
The fact is that General Hancock

commander is not 10 be made by news

have but too often observed, depend
upon some Of their more intelligent
neighbors to do their thinking; and
entertain no intention further than to
follow cut the plans their neighbors
thus form. Aud thence arises the
great diversity aud absurdity Of views,

and most useful questions of civil

The profoundcst ignorance pervades

How often have we been astounded
on observing the utter ignorance of
some men upon some of the common.

such ones indeed that should thorough
ly be understood by all Such an un-
derstaDding being essential to the right
and successful issue, and to the prac-
tical benefits Of the community. Take
for example the chimerical notion of
the constitutionality Of slavery. No
doubt but that millions of honest men
within the last thirty years have real
ly believed that the constitution Of
our General Government contained
provisions for the protection and main.
tenancc Of that institution. Whereas,
had they read that instrument atten-
lively and critically they would have
seen not vestige Of any such thing
about it. Again how few are there Of
the masses who have ever learned that
that same constitution contains o d.
rect and express prohibition Of slav-
cry Nothing can be more express
than the assertion that mo man shall
vc urprTseu oI IiIe, hberty or properly
without due process of law except for
crime" and yet how little is it under
stood.
Ii has also been believed by mill.
ions and by a large majority of the
American people. that the consttu-
tion enjoined the recapture Of fugitive
slaves. But il they had read that in.
strument impartially they would have
found no such provision in it, but to
the reverse. .-
