Reduction Of the Army.

The reduction Of our military forces is
going on with a rapidity that would cause
some uneasiIess were not all the signs of
the times so favorable In the Army of
the Potomac, the Provisional Corps, which
was formed by the consolidation of the old
troops, had only a short-lived existence,
from the 2Sth of June to the 1th Of July
That army, therefore, recently so powerful
and destined ever to be so memorial no
longer exists. A week or ten days may be
consumed in the mastering out Gen.
Auger's troops, emplycd in defense of the
works about Washington, are also being
reduced to a mere garrison force. The
cavalry in Virginia is to be materially re-
duced at the discretion of Gen Terry. Slo-
GUMS Army of Georgia is to be cut down
to less than 10000, and Logan's Army of
the Tennessee is to be reduced to few
divisions. As organizations the two great
Western armies will substantially disap-
pear within week But little more than
one hundred thousand men will soon be
left in arms throughout the country nearly
three-tOurths of whom will be under the
command of Gen. Sheridan in the South
west. The agents of the Quartermastcrs
Department, during the last week, sold
over 10000 mules and horses, and $500
ambulances and army wagons, besides a
vast amount of harness and other material
We may add, also, that Secretary Welles is
reducing the Navy with corresponding
vigor and will ultimately bring it down
from 5000 men to 1000 or $4,000

A Gross INJUSTICE REMovED-The Secre-
tary of War has ordered that "to secure
equal justice and the same personal liberty
to the freedmen as to other citizens and in
habitants, all orders issued by post, dis
trict, or other commanders, adopting any
system of passes for, or subjecting them
to any restraints or punishments not impos-
ed on other classes, are declared void
Neither whites nor blacks will be re-
strained from seeking employment else
where, when they cannot obtain it at
just compensation at their homes, and
when not bound by voluntary agreements
nor will they be hindered from travelling
from place to place on proper and legiti-
mate business"

hSF The village of Bainbridoe Chanan

b9- The village of cambridge, Chenan-
go County, was the scene ofq quite a stirring
little history on the afternoon of July H.
The dam of the large mill-pond up among
the hills broke away, and the water in two
large currents, one along the bed of the
stream, and another over the fields, rushed
toward the village sweeping off in it's
course house, shop, sheds, carriages,
furniture, fences; piling up lumber of ali
sorts against the bridge and residences
Mr.. Packard's losses in wagons and livery
are more than thousand dollars. Mr.. Van
Zandt lost his house and furniture. Mr..
Pettis and Mr.. Phinney suffered consider.
bly,. Beams, logs, broken furniture and
boards were left in the midst of lawns and
ornamental grounds; several gardens were
cleared out, and admired velvet grass was
enriched with unwelcome mud as by the
oVerfioWlng OF the Nile, but bereft of all
its verdant beauty. Fortunately no person
was injured.

A LIVING DEATH-Describing the Dry
Iortugas, to which place it is understood
the government has sent Mudd, Spanpler
Arnold and OLaughlin, contemporary
says, in view of the magnitude of their
crime, that more suitable place of punish
ment for these conspirators could not have
been selected. The solemn roll of the
waves of the Gulf; the silent and even
ghostly air, or rather want of air, on these
lifeless coral reefs the absence of every
living thing save the albatross and the
shark "the blue above and the blue be-
low" in one unvarying monotony, save the
infrequent visits of the hurricane, which
only adds terror to desolation-all these
may family picture the far seaward home
OF those to whom the law and the testimony
have denied the boon of death.

COME TO GRIEF.

A few weeks since, says the Washington
Chronicle, nearly every Copperhead journ-
al in the country was busily engaged in
extolling President johnson as Democrat,
who was to unite the discordant fragments
of that organization, and with it play havoc
on the terrible radicals" who were deter
mined to rush the country into the jaws of
ruin. The infatuated Chairman of the
National Democratic Executive Committee, ("
one Mason, even went so far as to eulogize
the President as the divinely-appointed
agent of providence who should bring
about this political millennium, whereof Ma
son and his compeers would be, Of course,
high priests But Gov. Brownlow, of Ten
nessee, has been making arbitrary arrests"
again, and, is fully determined that both
Copperheads and rebels shall obey, if not
respect, the laws of the State. Worse
than that, President Johnson has endorsed
these arrests, and has directed that the
whole military force be used, if necessary,
to enforce order and obedience to the laws
in the approaching State elections. What
a0W Mason say now? How will he bear
this rude destruction of his beautiful castle
in the air AS for the Copperhead journ-
ais, they will howl, singly and in concert,
most loudly and dismally for week to
come, over this new evidence Of the despot-
ic usurpation which has destroyed free
speech Loyal men everywhere however,
will thank God and take courage

the reign of the rebellion, he was a daily
visitor at Libby Prison, where he encour

Ha> GEN. CAMERON, says the Lewistown
Gazette, was one of the few men who saw
clearly at the commencement of the war
the right course to pursue to crush rebell-
ion. Had his views at the time been en-
tertained and acted upon-the raising of a
million of men, and freeing and arming of
the slaves-the contest would have been
over much sooner. To Gen Cameron, as
much as to any other statesman now living,
we are indebted for the final issue of the
Shareholders rebellion. He has been al
ways true to his country, and to the great
interests of the Keystone State, and the
people of that State will never forget his
services.

sa- An exciting controversy is now pen

b9- THE Supreme Court of Wisconsin
has decided that the law of Congress re-
qulring stamps on legal process, in the be-
ginning or other stage of "a suit, is uncon-
stltutlonal, and therefore void, and that
the stamps on legal papers are not neces-
sary. The ground of the decision is that
the imposition of tax upon any proceed
mgs IN State Court is an invasion of the
right of State to regulate proceedings in
Its own Court that if Congress can tax
these proceedings at ALL it can lay a tax
that will practically amount to prohibition,
and thus legislate the State Courts out of
existence.

the result of a simple difference of opinion
1t may be stated that the eccentric poet
