" When wo get more than we want, General," re-

Ij'.jv. Iiobins'on, who lives near that town, had anterraw with Col. Utley on Ihe subject. Tbe Colo-

n negroes, the slaves of notorious rebels, came.. o their camp and wore employed ns servants.

Application was made to (.Jen, Ucrdon Granger, who— ' -i order (o Col. Atkins not (o let any person,

obtained an order sending the regiment away from

Col. Alkins man-bed through tho lown with fined

That we do not believe Mr. Sewnrd to be the man

(he fountain and original of all our calamities. But

we do not eco how be, or even Mr. Blair, can help

only be by means of (he black allies who are only

wailing our invitation lo place themselves by our

side. Tbo dcaiu-blow must be dealt to the rebellion

« sanguine temperament. We bavo tried

Blylo of taclics for more llian eighteen months, and

they Lava failed against the rapid evolul

deinonstralions of our astute and agile enemy. Tho

enemy Is stroager than he ever was in every particu-

Great indeed are (ho changes which have occurredin two nhoit years- I find on revisiting thes.e localities

with which I bavo hitherlo beenme familiar in tho

including ninny noble-hen Mod young men, some of

whom hnvo already fallen with tho two hundred andfifty thousand slain—victims of disease nnd bs'tle.

lifted to Ilia feet ngnin by a comrade bo was shot

costly one. if Hie bleed of ueii lyr.i " bo tho seed of Iho

But (do not believe Ibnt Iho President has yet goneso far as lo offer a place in Iho Cabinet to any one. Hi

of destroying the institution of tliierv. They got no

comfort from the President. The only thing he said,

rhat was right, and if the Union could he saved with-

ut Ihe Proclamation ho would forego it. But ho
