sharp Criticism upon General

In his late speech at Lowell, Massachu-

severe attack upon General Grant and his
predecessors in the command Of the Army
of the Potomac. He 80
Il understand that there are those who
were among my old friends in politics, but
who, unfortunately, have lately got upon
the other side, who sneer at me as the Hero
of Big Bethel and Fort Fisher. accept
! the title. They DO he honor overmuch;-
What was Big Bethel? 1t was skirmish
lin which twenty-five men were killed and
wounded. But Big Bethel was not Bull
Run; Big Bethel was not Fair Oaks; Big
Bethel was not Seven Pines ; Big Bethel
was not the Chickahominy. Big Bethel
was a failure, but it was no disaster. No
West Point General commanded there.
: claim credit for this, that when we Of the
volunteer army of the United States make
y failures We do not make disasters. Stop a
{ moment and compare the battles l have
5 named, with Big Bethel. Why, at these
J there were more men slaughtered and homes
{ made desolate than there were leaves on
e the trees in the forest around Big Bethel
? not to be numbered. But l am the hero Of
Fort Fisher, too. Well, Fort Fisher was not
Fredericksburg; Fort Fisher was not Chan
cellorsville Fort Fisher was not the Viii
derness; Fort tlsher was not COal f1arpOr.
A volunteer General commanded at Fort
Fisher at each attack one was without re-
suit, but no disaster the last was sue
cess all honor to General Terry and his
brave volunteer soldiers. Again, it is
charged upon US that we did not make so
big a hole in the Dutch Gap Canal as We
ought to have made 1t may be that we
did not-although Dutch Gap Canal was a
success--make so great hole there as was
made BIZ the explosion of the mine at Pc
tersburg last summer; but thank God, nei-
ther did we fill uselessly that hole up with
American dead until it ran blood. Re-
newed applause | am, therefore, con-
? tent, nay, claim to be the hero of the com.
paratively bloodless attacks on Big Bethel
and the wholly bloodless failure of Fort
Fisher; and do not claim to be the hero Of
Fredericksburg, of charlottesville, of the
Chickahominy, of Fair Oaks, of the Wilder
ness, of Coal Harbor, nor Of that charnel
house of useless dead in the mine before
Petersburg. | am prepared to take the
issue; and hereafter, fellow-citizens, when
you bear me to that little inclosure on the
other side of the river, which l hope for as
my last resting place, | pray you put over
; me for my epitaph: Here lies the General
who saved the lives of his soldiers at Big
Bethel and Fort Fisher, and who never
commanded the Army of the Potomac L

Fidelity.

Desert not your friend in danger and dis
tress. Too many there are in the world
whose attachment to those they call friends
is confined to the day of prosperity. As
long as that continues, they are, or appear
to be, affectionate and cordial But as soon
as their friend is under cloud, they begin
to withdraw and separate their interests
from his. In friendship of this sort, the
heart has assuredly never had much con-
cern. For the great test of true friendship
is constancy in the hour of danger-adher-
ence in the season of distress. When your
friend is eliminated, then is the time open
ly and boldly to defend his cause When
his situation is changed, or mistortunes are
fast gathering around him, then is the time
of affording prompt, jealous aid. When
sickness or infirmity occasions him to be
neglected by others, that is the opportunity
which every real friend will seize of redoub-
ling all the affectionate attention which love
suggests These are the important duties,
the sacred claims of friendship religion and
virtue enforce on every worthy mind. To
show yourself warm in this manner in the
cause of your friend, commands esteem even
in those who have personal interests in op'
posing him. This honorable zeal of friend
ship has, in every age attracted the venera
ton of mankind, 1t has consecrated to the
latest posterity the names of those who have
given up their fortunes and have exposed
their lives in behalf of their friends whom
! they loved while .ignomiuy and disgrace
have ever been the portion Of those VIII,
would desert their friends in the hour o
/ distress.

The Negro Question in the south

The Richmond Enquirer thus notices the
last phase of the negro question IN the
South. 1t says
THE question Of slave soldiers has work
ed its way to public consideration in spite
of Cabinet caution and legislative resolves
at it being discussed in all its details and its
difficulties admitted There is one signifi-
cant fact connected with these discussions.
There is a universal consent. that II slaves
or slavery can be so used to insure the inde-
pendence of the State Of Virginia, any sac
rifice of interest or prejudice will be made
to insure that object, so paramount to all
others. 1t is by no means certain that
the employment of slaves as coldiers is in
dispensable to the safety of the country.
There yet remain many resources which
should be first dedicated TO that purpose
before resorting to a measure subject 10 un-
doubted objections. 1t is also certain that
any ultra measures at gradual or general
emancipation need not be resorted to-
There is no proposition from European
powers to guarantee our independence up
on the condition of emancipation. Thert
are no assurances that those powers would
make such guarantee.

The Charms of Peace.

The Washington special, of the 30th ult.
to the Cincinnati Gazette says:
ga letter from the Army of the Potomac
dated the lst ult., says that for five hours
after the truce was declared along our lines
in front of the 9th Corps, thousands of oul
boys threw down their armsand engaged il
ball playing with the rebel soldiers, The
utmost good feeling prevailed, and during
the time the probabilities of peace were fully
discussed by the officers and men from botl
sides The rebel soldiers told our boys tina
they were promised peace within the mex
thirty days, and that they hoped the rebel
lion was at an end.
What a general jubilee there would b
could peace be declared The whole lant
would rejoice. Every body would then en-
gage in ball playing.

The Desire for Peace.

When the dispatch announcing that the
President and Mr. Seward had returned
from Fortress Monroe, and that the former
had said that peace was merelya question of
days, was read on Change, yesterday, i'll
this city, the outburst of applause that fol
lowed shows what fast hold the desire for
peace is taking on the popular heart.
Wearied Of blood appalled, at the noun
tain of debt and load Of taxes upon US, dis.
tressed and harassed by conscriptions, an
noyed by the fluctuations of trade and the
uncertainties of the future every body nearly
is looking for relief to an early termination Of
the war. The general desire is for peace
The heart yearneth for it !; and every move
ment looking in that direction made by those
in authority, is watched with the most
anxious solicitude, and encouraged by sin
cere prayers for success. s.--Cm. Enquirer.

From the Seneca AdvertiserJ
Governor BrOugh and the Hun
dred Day Men.

We give below letter from Provost Mar
shall General Fry TO Hon. Warren y. Noble
Governor Brotgh has frequently denied that
the calling out Of those hundred DAY men
was voluntary on his part, but it appears
that he rendered their services, unsolicited
and expressly stipulated that they should
not be credited on the draft Brouph. for
the purpose Of achieving for himself a little
notoriety, deliberately dragged from theii
homes thrty-six thousand citizens Of Ohio
in the busiest season Of the year, and exposed
them to the peril Of battle and the danger
Of the camp. Hundreds Of men died and il
thousands the seeds of disease were laic
which will drag them down to early graves
by the act of this Falstaffian blusterer anc
arrant demagogue. And he expressly stip
ulated that the services they should render
should not be credited on the draft Why
this anxiety to get these men into the field
Some people think that the one n,ilh9n dok
lar opproprtdtion passed by the last Legis-
lature to repel invasion had something to
do with this tender the hundred daymen
No hostile foot had invaded Ohio and no
foe was expected, but that million dollars in
the Treasury could not be touched There
was meal in the tub, and the watching cat:
knew it. The Guards were called out
contracts for supplies, &c, for cannon, fol
equipments, were made in hurry, and foul
hundred thousand dollars was expended up
on the order of Governor Brough, who, al
the while, was kicking up ID Of fus
about the ''villaiuous copperheads. So il

given to give somebody some "fat takes.
