The Difference.

We know of no incident more
strikingly illustrative of the differ
ence between the truly brave men
who fought during the late civil war,
and the speculators who stayed at
home during the same time, than
the interchange of dispatches be-
tween General Forrest and other
officers of the late Confederate army
and the United States officers present
at the Cleveland Convention. The
declaration of General Forrest, that
they were willing to leave their rights
as citizens of the United States to the
soldiers of the Union, produced a
profound sensation in the Conven-
ton, and elected fitting reply, with
three cheers for General Forrest and
his brother officers.
These are courtesies between brave
men, which, by contrast, render
darker and more execrable the mise
rable efforts of those who would, if
in their power, plunge the country
into another civil war. These brave
men know enough of war, with its
attendant horrors, and they do not
wish to renew a strife that, it is to be
hoped, has ended forever The men
who fought for the preservation Of
the Union are as willing to trust the
honor and sincerity of the Southern
people as the latter are to trust the
determination Of their rights to the
Union soldiers. These latter know
the gallantry and high bearing of the
defeated Confederates, and they know
that they have neither the disposi-
ton or the means to renew the con-
fict; besides, they know them to be
honorable men, and that the terms
of their parole would never be vio-
lated, if they had both.
What contrast between these and
the destructives, who, after peace has
been won, would still force strife on
both sections. They know nothing
of war, save in the accumulation of
greenbacks for shoddy contracts by
which the Government was robbed Of
millions, and they have become utter
ly Indifferent to the sufferiugs conse-
Quent on war, or the sacrifice of life
it must result in. Avaricious, fana-
teal, mean and base, regardless of
good faith or principle, and only
anxious to perpetuate their own
power, the piebald radical party
would destroy the Government, ex-
punge the Constitution, and drench
the land in blood again, for the base
purpose of perpetuating their power
as party. Such is the difference
between the true soldier and the
sneaking fanatic, who never shoul-
dered gun or fired shot in defence
of that Union he wishes to keep dis
severed.

the only material we have.
REDUCING THEIR NUMBER Wash
ington specials declare that the Sec
retary Of War is reducing the number
of volunteer officers remaining in the
service as rapidly as the exigencies of
the army will permit Within the
present month. a large number have
been returned to their rank in the
regular army, or have found their
Way to civil occupations.
Instead of promulgating the mus
ter-out orders, each officer is now
mustered out by virtue of an extract
from War Department special order,
having reference to himself only. BY
this method, the fact is known to
none but the department and the
officer concerned. Most of the volun-
teer officers that have been retained
are on duty in the Freedmen's Bu-
rean. Many of them have been ho-
norably discharged since the first of
September, and number of others,
it is expected, will be mustered out
by the first Of October.
All the officers acting in the capa-
city # Assistant Commissioners Of
the F'rcedmen's Bureau are to be
mustered out Of their volunteer rank;
each Of them, however, will be re-
tanned III the regular service, either
by virtue of commissions now in their
possession, or 10y appointments re-
Gently made. with the exception Of
Maj. Gen. r. H. Scott, Assistant
Commissioner of South Carolina, and
Maj. Gen. Tilson, Assistant Commits
sloner Of Georgia, who hold no other
than volunteer commissions; but the
musterout of these officers has been
suspended until the 1st of December
next, to allow them time to properly
arrange the affairs of the sea islands,
which have hitherto been in a rather
unsettled condition.
The GRAND LODGE OF ODD Eel
Lowr. The only business Of public
nature transacted on Thursday, by
the Grand Lodge, in session in Bal
timore, was the report of the legisla-
tive committee, which concludes
with resolution asking the appoint
ment of Il special committee of five,
to whom shall bc referred the subject,
with instructions to report law pro-
hlbltinS explosions for non-payment
of dues, and regulate tEe suspension
of members for the same cause, and
report the same to the Grand Lodge
at its next annual communication.
The resolution was laid over, lat
was, on Friday, again taken up and
adopted. \ preamble and resolution
were offered and adopted, auvloriz-
ing the Grand Sire to appoint day
to be observed by the members of
the order and their families as day
Of thanksgiving to Almighty God for
having saved the order from destrnc-
ton during the recent war, and for
the prosperity attending it during
the past year After the installation
of the newly elected officers, the
Grand Lodge adjourned, to meet in
the city of New York, on the 81 of
September, 1867.

CoTToN.-At special meeting of
the Cotton Planters Convention of
Georgia, in Macon, on the 9th, Mr..
Ben. G. Iancey, of Athens, made a
speech on ''the deplorable condition
of the country, owing to the fact
that labor and capital are being with
drawn from the agricultural interest
to an alarming extent. to be unprofit-
ably invested in our cites He also
alluded to the great fatality among
the negroes, and advocated the en-
couragement of immigration, and
recommended that the Legislature
appoint agents to visit Europe for
that purpose. The Convention re-
commended to the cotton growers
throughout the South the use of the
iron hoops, in consideration of their
greater economy, facility and Sc
curity."

Sal'-and with being an infdel; he
was denounced, also, as II traitor in

proclaimed an usurper, II tyrant and

debauchee, and charged with stealing
and living with another mans wife

which he accomplished his purposes:

O people chosen ! are ye not
Iiksvise the chosen of the Lord,
To do His will and speak His word?
From the loud thunderstorm of war
Not MAI alone hath called ye forth,
Blu. He, the God of all the earthi
The torch of vengeance in your hands
He ouenehes unto Him belongs
The solemn recompense Of wrongs.
Enough Of blood the land has.seen,
And no. by cell or gallows stair
Shall ye the way Of God prepare.
Say to the pardon-seekers Keep
your manhood bend no suppliant knees
Nor palter with unworthy pleas,
Above YOUR voices sounds the wail
OF starving men we shut In vain
Our ewes TO Pillows CHASTITY stain.
What words can drown that bitter cry 2
What tears wash out that stain OF death
What eaths confirm your broken failh'
From you alone the guaranty
OF Union, freedom, peace, we claim
We urge NO conqueror's terms OF sname'
Alas no ~yictor's pride is ours
Who bend above our triumphs won
Like David DER his rebel son.
Be men, not beggars. Cancel all
By one brave, generous action trust
Your better instincts, and be justl
Keep all POUR forfeit lives and lands,
pnt give the common law redress
To labor's utter nakedness'
Revive the old heroic will
Be in the right as brave and strong
As We have proved yourselves in wrong
Defeat shall then be victory,
Your loss the wealth of full amends,
And hate be love and foes be friends
Then buried be the dreadful past,
Its common slain be mourned, and let
Its memories soften to forget.
Then shall the Unions mother heart
Her lost and wandering ones recall,
Forgiving and restoring all
And Freedom break her marble franc
Abov. the Capitolian dome,
Stretch hands and bid ye welcome hom'
