three grand divisions. Letthe first
go armed and equipped, as the laws
Of the army require, with small
arms and artillery. Let them be
the largest division, and lei them do
the killing. Let the second diuision
be armed aOith pine torches and spiir-
iits of tuapentine, and let them do the
burning. Let the third and last
division be armed with surveyors
compasses and chains, and will sur.
vey out the land and settle it. We
will first sell it out, to pay the ex-
penses Of the war with the pro-
ceeds, and then settle it with men
who will honor this glorious banner.

General Butler, the warrior Of
the Radicals, accepts the torch-and-
turpentine gospel. In his speech
at Gloucester, Massachusetts, he,
too, contended for the forfeiture Of
"the property, the rights, and the
lives" of the Southern people.
Forney, the journalist of the
torch-and- -turpentine party, pub

The Speech of General Wool.

,tl The strong and vigorous speech
Of the veteran General Wool, de-
livered at the Soldiers and Sailors
Convention, at Cleveland, publish
ed by us yesterday, will fall upon
the public mind like the blast of a
trumpet. The contemporary of Cen
eral Scott, the hero of three wars,
far in the decline Of life, with no
possible object in view of a per-
,sonallor selfish character, the war
nings he gives to his countrymen
cannot but be needed and respect
ed by them. We accordingly pub
lish the following extra,t from the
address: ,a.rGWo'.s a'-. woa3 tgr.
"Another civil war is foreshad-
owed unless the freedmen are plac-
ed on an equality with their previ-
Gus masters. If this cannot be ac-
complished, Radical partisans, with
O raging thirst for blood and plum
der, are again ready to invade the
Southern States and lay waste the
country not already desolated, with
the sword in one ahand and the
torch in the other. These revenge
full partisansl would leave their
country a bowling wilderness for
the want of more victims to graft
fly an unsparing cruelty. If they
should succeed in infieting on the
country another war,dit would be
more terrible oithan the one from
which we have just emerged. 1t

length and breadth iofIthe United
States and only close with the
overthrow of1the best government
ever devised, and the finest country
on the face of the globe. IF such

publican Empire, the cause must

A Gratifying Incident.

~ One of the most gratifying in
cidents of the Soldiers and Sailors
Convention, at Cleveland, was the
reception Of the dispatch from the
late Confederate soldiers to the
effect that they were willing to
leave their rights to the determine
ton of the soldiers of the Union.
Brave men are always manly and
generous, and the cofdialfeeling Of
respect ana condolences which pre-
vail among the "Boysih Blue" for
their old enemies Of the Confeder-
ate Gray, is reciprocated by the
latter. 1t is not those who fight
on the battlefield that are averse
to a final and peaceful settlement
of our difficulties; but it is the
politicians, who staid at home and
coined gain out of the blood of the
soldier, and who desire to- repeat
the role they15then played over
again, that are now the obstacles
in the path ofreunion. The Wades,
the Stevenses,the Summers and the
Phillipses are too cowardly or too
mercenary to fight, but from a safe
distance they would like to incite
Others to the slaughter-pen. But
the soldiers do not intend to be The
cat's-paw of these miserable dis
turbers Of the public peace. They
are for union and peace.-[En-

WHAT COL. MOORE DID SAY.


There has been great deal said about
Col. Moore's remarks at Portsmouth, O.,
In reference to our soldiers. We copy
the following extracts from the Jackson
Times, Of the the lsth inst. which cleans
The matter up satisfactorily. iu0 10
. tnhis speechat the marketIhouse he said
Il was charged that the rebel soldiers were
amurderers,n because they killed some of
our men In battle, and If this were so, up
on thc same principle, our men who killed
the rebel soldiers in battle could be called
murderers also; shut that. according 70 the
laos of t0ds, and the tight in ohich such acts
toere regarded By the Tao of nations, neither
could DC called murders" Now, If any
body wants to 'swear," let them do it. and
If they can not swear hard. enough, let
them call upon their great leader, "Parson"
BRowNLoW and let him also curse. Your
cause is desperate, gentlemen, and s~ear-
ing can't save you.

The Last Congress Vote Them

The editor Of the New York
Times, a Republican member of
the present Congress, and who is as
conversant with its business and
the reasons for its acts as Thad.
Stevens himself, thus refers to the
increase of the salaries of Congress
men: 'a.''f -.. . ...., %.
"a good deal of surprise has
been expressed that Congress did
not postpone the vote increasing
the pay OF its members until the
next session. The reason begins
to be apparent. The extra $4,000
was needed to secure their re-elec-
.tion. Each member has that sum
eStrG, to be devoted to this specif-
ic purpose. The Radical members
are thus put in possession of a
grand corruption fund, amounting
to something over $500, 900, taken
directly out Of the. public Treasu-
ry, and distributed among the mem.
bers- nearly, every one Of whom j

1t was proclaimed before the sess'

sustained by the reelection of its
present members. 1t is now clear
that this increase of pay was one
of the practical measures by which
this result is to be brought about

suffer-the resident business men and the new
corners. Sooner or later some must so to the

who came with the war, made money during
the war, and fitted with their money at its
close. They, Of course, made it pay; but such
