Returned Prlaoners.
It is said that the returned Confederate
prisoners, just from the Northern jails,
have been ordered directly to join their
regiments. This will go to show that
our army needs recruiting, and should
be a modest hint to enrolling officers,
let them do their duty. This is no time
for trifling.
The Nashvillo Union states that Gen

the work they will be required to do,
but supposes they will be made to aid
in rebuilding bridges and to construot
fortifications. Gen. Nelson has given
strict orders that no Union raau’s slaves
shall be taken.
Loom Manufactory.
We paid a flying visit to the Hand Loom Man
ufactory of Messrs. Nelson & Cos., first door
north of Dr. DoGraffanreid’s residence on Ogle
thorpe Street, on Saturday. We witnessed
| the operation of one, but without the warps
and filling to show what sort of cloth could be
wove. We never had seen a loom on the pow
er plan for hand use before, and were some
what surprised at its simplicity of construc
tion and the exactness with which it operated.
These looms is as much superior to the old
fashioned country loom as a gold eagle is to a
ten dollar “wild cat” bank note. The loom is
small, compact, portable and handsomely got
; ten up. It can be moved by two women from
: one position*® another. It will occupy not six
square feet of any room, and can be worked
! with as little noise as a sewing machine. In
! these times when dress goods for men and wo
j men are held at such exorbitant rates, we think
it would bo wise policy for our ladies each to
purchase and set to work, one of these looms.
S Spinning wheels can be had by the thousand.
Keels ditto, and cotton cards sufficient, though
| tt high rates, we trust soon to bo much lower.
And it strikes ;us in addition, that our ladies
| *ith a little experience could weave goods of
1 very fine texture on these hand looms, ow
ns to the ease and accuracy with which they
ire operated. Wo would advise our lady read
ersof the city and country to visit this manu
taetory and see them operate for themselves.
Messrs. Nelson & Cos., will doubtless take pleas
ure in attending to such calls, as well as tak,
ii;’ your order for a loom.
Yankee Breast Plate.
We have been shown ouo of the above

ordinary vest. The oue we saw had no
marks of bullets upon it, and the wearer

VOLUME VI.I
War and Its Uses.
War is not without its blessings and
ultimate advantages as well as its hor
rors and privations. It is not by any
means the worst condition to which a
nation may be reduced. It is preferable
to a state of uncertainty, suspension and
vague apprehension. It is preferable to
national dishonor, and is especially pre
ferable to absolute tyranny, or a forced
“Union” with a people we abhor.
Society and political institutions need
severe purging occasionally. The body
politic sometimes becomes grossly bil
lious—the poisonous fluids of radicalism
and agrarianism, no less than jaundiced
usurpation, sometimes prostrates the
whole system—the whole machinery be
comes deranged and spasmodio. War is
but the spasms of a nation throwing
off accumulated corruption. It is alto
gether a natural process—as much so as
a man vomiting the malaria from an over
charged and deranged stomach.
Asa people we had become remarkably
prosperous. Our wealth had far out
stripped our mental development. We
had more worldly substance than we had
the brains to manage judiciously. We
became surfeited and given over to mere
animal enjoyments. We were becoming
pre-eminently selfish and stupid. We
were by no means prepared to eDjoy such
au abuudauco of worldly prosperity.
I‘ublio opiuiou had become bloated and
supercileous. We were rapidly drifting
iuto materialism and national infidelity.
Perhaps for tho last eight years of our
existence in the old government, we had
eclipsed all ancient or modern history in
political corruption. Our political at
mosphere had becomo intolerably humid,
and the fierce lightnings of the war cloud
had becomo necessary to consume the
poisonous vapor. We are just now en
tering the crisis of our political malady.
Wc should bear tho shock with patience,
and look hopefully for the future.
Tho very Devil seems to have entered
in and taken undisputed possession of
that august personage, the “United
States,” years ago. Tho body politic
had regular spasms, of a fearful charac
ter, every four years ; while someone of
its thirty-one members was kept in a j
constant twitching in the interim by the
same unclean spirit. We do not speak
irreverently, but we no where read in the
Book of a “devil”being “cast out” with
out incurring much agonizing pain to the
patient. In some instances, the demo
niac was thrown violently against the
ground, tore his flesh with stones or
sought self-destruction by drowning. In
many instances, his body would lay ap
parently lifeless for days, after tho
“devil’- had departed, so great had been
the exhaustion. Ours is a parallel case.
The operation is a severe one, yet the
demon of radicalism should bo cast out,
though our commerce and industrial re
sources should lie prostrate for years
to come. Let the imps of abolitionism,
of atheism, puritanism, agrarianism,
free soilism, and the thousand other isms
of Yankee land which had been tormen
ting us for years, be exterminated, and
tho land purged of that miserable hum
bug, universal aud indiscriminate suf
.rage.

Llncolniani,
Something over twelve months since,
tho “Louisville Courier” was suppressed
by an edict of King Abraham, when the
publishers removed to Nashville and kept
up its regular publication until the fall
ot Fort Donelson. The “Louisville Ex
press” was started in the old Courier
office as a sort of neutral newspaper,
with strong Lincoln proclivities. All
things went on harmoniously until the
last lew months, when the Yankee army
began to get whipped at every point, and
when Louisville became panic stricken
by tho invasion of Kentueky by the
“guerillar Morgan.” In anticipation of
an early visit from tho last named indi
vidual, the “Express” began to grow
weak-kneed iu tho Federal cause, and
gave publicity to sorno very unpallatable
statements, relative to the probable evac
uation of Nashville, and the future oc
cupation of Kentucky by tho “Confeder
ates” (it used to call them “rebels”;,
when Lincoln’s military officials in Lou
isville ordered its discontinuance a week
or two sinco.
Religion Gone to the Doge.
The Boston Journal contains a story of
a religious dog which is illustrative of
the maxim so long believed to be true in
this country, that religion had become
“dogmatical” in Yankee land. The dog
is said to be a strict observer of the Sab
bath, and a regular attendant at churoh.
It does uot say whether he is an aboli
tionist, or whether he is a patrou of
spirituulism, but we take it for granted
that he is both, as it is maintained that
be is a consistant Christian according to
the usages of Boston ethics. The dog it
is said, belongs to a Presbyterian family,
but being a dog of his own head, he has
uuited himself with the Methodists. He
starts to church every Sunday morning,
and goes with the family as far as the
church which they attend, and then walks
on, alone, and takes his plaoein the Meth
odist church a little beyond.

THE WEEKLY SUN.
Feeling Iu the North Wait.
Some of th 6 miserable “Union” dupes
in Kentucky and Tennessee as well as
those in the north west, are beginning to
get their eyes opened. They have had
a long, deep slumber of it, not however
without an occasional fitful wakening
In a late Democratic Convention, at
which Jno. M. Carlile, of Virginia, and
other bogus Representatives from the
border States were present. Gov. Wick
liflfe, of Indiana made a speech in which
he said he was in favor of the Union,
provided the rights of the South and sla
very were not interfered with ! Before
doing anything more, he would pause to
see what we were fighting for, whether
it was to “restore the Union,” or to free
the negroes and overthrow the Conatitu
tution. If the latter, let not another drop
of blood be shed. He would hang the
leading “rebels” and balance tho rope
with abolitionists. The abolitionists con
trolled every department of the Govern
ment and were worse than the “rebels.”
In a speech of Hon. Wm. A. Richard
son, of 111., before the same Convention
he said.
If the Republican party is retain
ed in power the government is goue
forever. Only in conservative men is
there any safety. He denounced the
President’s emancipation scheme as cal
culated to enslave the white while freeing
the black and insisting that New England
was making all the money, holding all
the contracts, and escaping with fewer
soldiers in the field, and lighter burdens
of taxation than the West. “We are made
tholr hewers of wood and drawers of wa
ter, while they run the nigger exclusive
ly for money.
Recruiting.
It is now getting quite evident that the
Yankee army will not be recruited by
volunteers. Not one twentieth of the
number called for has been made up.
Tho Northern President and Governors
are beginniug to realize the faot, and a
draft will be resorted to. This will bring
into the field a large army—larger than
any we have yet had to oontend with—
and it is time we were making up our
minds to moet the emergencies. Nearly
every town and city in the South has a
surplus of men— able bodied men—who
ought to be in tho field. Congress will,
we have no doubt, extend the limit of the
the Conscription Aot to 45, instead of
35 years. This done, it only remains for
enrolling officers to manifest a little en
ergy and determination. More depends
upon the manner in whioh this law is
enforced for the next thirty days, than
aDy thing else. Whenever an enrolling
officer is found dodging, or shirking his
duty through mere favoritism, let him be
put under arrest just as a field officer
would be, should he attempt to shirk an
important duty. Laws are a mockery
unless they can be enforced, and in the
present instance, public necessity coincides
with, and is in fact paramount to it.
Again we say, let the law be enforced.
An Incident of the War.
Two deserters from the Federal army,
members of the Ist Massachusetts regi
ment, whilst on their way homeward,
recently visited the house of a gentleman
in Calvert county, Maryland, and beg
ged for some food, which he readily gave
them. Whilst they were eating, he re
called to mind the fact, that on a previ
ous occasion, his dwelling had been plun
dered, and many valuable articles, in
cluding his wife’s watch, stolen by the
Yankees ; and he now recognized iu his
guests two of the party who were enga
gaged iu that nefarious transaction. He
mentioned the circumstance, but they
stoutly denied all knowledge of it; they
had never been in that neighborhood be
fore. The gentleman then called his
Irish overseer and asked him if he had
ever seen these individuals, and could
remember any incident connected with
them. Patrick gazed at them for a mo
ment and exclaimed—“ Faith, they are
the same bloody thaves that stole me
unly pair uv shirts.” Two negro men
were quickly sent for, and the hapless
Yankees, having been stripped and tied,
were subject to an indefinite number of
stripes, well laid ou by the willing hands
of the “contrabands.” “Now” said the
gentleman when ho turned them loose,
“go and tell your master, Lincoln, that
two negroes have flogged you from your
head to your heels.”
The Alliance of the Cherokee In
diana with the Confederate Statca.
The following letter from John Ross,
Principal Chief of the Cherokee nation,
is published in tho Northern papers.—
This settles tho question as to the alli
ance of that nation to the Confederates:
Executive Department, I
Park Hill, C. N., July 8, 1862./
To Col. Wm. Weer, U. S. A., Commanding:
Sir: Your communication of yesterday, da
ted from headquarters, Indian Expedition,
camp on Wolfe Creek, under a flag of truce
per Doc. Gilpatrick, has been duly received,
and in reply, I have to state that a treaty of al
liance, under the sanction and authority of the
whole Cherokee people, was entered into on
the 7th of October, 1561, between the Confede
rate States and the Cherokee nation, and pub
lished before the world. And you cannot be
too well informed on the subject to make it
neccessary for me to recapitulate the reasons
and circumstances under which it was done.
Thus the destiny of the people became identi
fied with that ol the Southern Confederacy.—
There is no nation of Indians, I venture to say,
that has ever been more scrupulous in the
faithful observance of their treaty obligations
than the Cherokees.
Allow me to further appeal to the history of
my long public and private life to sustain the
assertion that my policy has ever been to pre
serve peace and good feelings among my peo
ple and the observance of law and order.
The horrors of civil war, with which this
beautiful country is threatened, are greatly to
be deprecated, and I trust that it may be avert
ed by the observance of the strict principles of
civilized and honorable warfare by the army
now invading our country, under your com
mand. I cannot, under the existing circum
stances, entertain the proposition lor an offl
cial interview between us at your camp. I
have, therefore, respectfully to decline to com
ply with your request. I have the honor to be,
sir, vour most obedient servant,
John Ross,
Principal Chief Cherokee Nation.
How Canada Behavest
The New York Express says, a large
number of our countrymen are travelling
in Canada, and under circumstances, we
should suppose, most mortifying to some
of them, from what we see and read.
At Clifton, Niagara Falls, they are re
galed with secession musio, discussions
and combinations intended purposely,
we are assured, as an insult to the Union
travelers. Further on, as at Montreal
and Quebec, the taunts grow louder, and
the combinations more marked. Some
of the travelers, and letters we have
seen, report these jeers and insulting re
marks to be both common and unbeara
bie. t

by the blockading fleet. She waa taken

COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, AUGUST 10, ISti-2.
Our Cause In Euglaml.
The recent debates in the English Par
liament, relative to the affairs in this
country, should teach us the value of
self reliance and the folly of looking
abroad for succor. It is astonishing how
easily we fell into the fatal delusion, at
the beginning of this war, that England
would, in some way, become our ally;
that France would cheer us on to victory,
and that our cotton, not our arms, would
achieve our independence. We doubt se
riously whether the history of the world,
from the middle ages down to the presb
ent time, can produce a parallel case of
stupidity. We seemed to have beoome
entirely oblivious of English politics;
many speeches of our leading men, de
livered during the last days of the Buch
anan dynasty, really appear more like
the effusions of some Utopian dreamer,
or a revision of Eastern legend, than the
councils of practioal men or mature
statesmeu. We seemed to have forgotteu
that, although the institution of slavery
was planted on this continent by English
patronage, it was with her that Aboli
tionism had its origin, and that she had
spent millions upon millions of treasure
in fruitless efforts at emancipation in the
West Indies. We say fruitless efforts,
because she has never realized, nor never
will realize, her ultimate object. She
abolished “slavery” iu the popular sense
by liberating those held to perpetual
bondage, and, in lieu of that, introduced
what she is pleased to term tho “Cooly
System,” which in everything except the
name is a system of slavery more cruel,
more abject, more averse to the instincts
of humanity, and more discordant with
tho teachings of Christianity, than any
other system which has had an existence
since the days of the Phariohs. Y'et in
ail this, as in everything else done by
that government, there was a policy deep
laid and well conducted, the workings of
which we are now beginning to see.—
Having failed to conquer three millions
of people by the sword, she has hoped
to find it a less Herculean task to over
come thirty millions by a subtile policy.
But in this she will likewise fail The
Southern people have decreed, as well as
England, that the North and South shall
never be united; but are beginning to un
derstand the motives which prompt all
those high-flown eulogies upon Southern
valor and Southern patriotism, when she
refuses to recognize us as a member of
the great family of nations after admit
ting that we have established “eternal
separation” from tho North. We are be
ginning to see what the commonest com
prehension ought to have recognized
months ago, that we are already looked
upon as a rival power—that she wishes
to disenthrall herself from the meshes of
our commerce—that our staplo produc
tion will eclipse her West India enter
prise unless we are greatly weakened by
a long, devastating war for independence.
The popular opinion in this country,
until very recently, has been that this war
is greatly detrimental to the commerce
of England, and so it has been in many
particulars. But it is an injury that is
not without its ultimate advantages.
Whilst we aro fighting, she is encourag
ing the cultivation of ootton—she has no
rival so long as the contest continues
and she hopes that the war may so de
range our institutions as will require
years for us to regain our ancient pres
tige as producers. Iu other words, she
wants slavery abolished iu the South as
the most effectual means of destroying
our cotton monopoly. In proof of this,
we need only refer to the tone of the En
glish press two years ago, as well as to
many able speeches in the British Par
liament delivered many years previous.
A brief extract from a leading English
journal will serve to explain the pro
gramme of her abolition leaders. Speak
ing of slavery in this ooantry and the ef
forts made by the fanatics of tho North
to abolish it, the London Times says:
11 We have the greatest interest in the decay
of this mighty evil. The reputation of
this country for wisdom is at stake, for
the negroes of the West India Colonies
were emancipated not only on the ground
of humanity, but in the calculation that
free labor teas more productive than that of
slaves. These Islands still lie at the
threshold of the American Republic, and
if the stars and stripes shall ever float
over the walls of Mexioo and Havana,
the British Antilles will be exposed to
all the influences of a pro-slavery propa
ganda. How important then it is for ns
that before these great territorial acces
sions, which seem inevitable, actually
take place, the system of slavery shall have
been modified /”
The influential journal from whioh the
above extract is taken, is aliked distin
guished for its ability and remarkable
versatility. It does not represent the
opinions of one man, nor of a political
party, nor a class. It never “makes war
for au idea.” Its chief ambition is to
present itself always to the world as a
reflection —a daguerreotype of public
opinion It claims to represent public
opinion among the ruling classes, and its
unexampled prosperity and public pa
tronage shows how well founded is its
assumption.
It is time we were fully aware of our
true position before the ruling classes in
Europe. A little pleasant delusion may
very well become a people differently sit
uated, but at present we are in no condi
tion to eDjoy such pleasant vagueries.
Watermelons have been declared “con
traband” articles of trade by Gen. Bragg
and Governor Brown. The former has
prohibited their sale to his soldiers, be
cause six penny speculators had been de
tected in selling some green and sickly
specimens to his men, causing, as he al
leged, sickness in camps. Gov. Brown,
it is said, has prohibited their transpor
tation over the State Road. This cuts
our dealers off from foreign markets, and
as the country is full of melons they
will now decrease in price. The Gover
nor, it seems, does not intend to be out
done in patriotic enterprises!

Something Needing Explanation.
A New Y'ork paper contains the follow
ing significant statement:
The British sohooner Mary Harris,
from Nassau, N. P., entered at this port
this week, bringing as part cargo 74
bales cotton, 100 barrels spirits turpen*
tine, and the British schooner Blanche,
from same port, 209 bales cotton. It
would appear, from the peculiar cargos
continually arriving here from that port,
that the regular liners between that port
and Charleston still continue to make
their trips regularly.”

Richmond, Aug. 11.—Northern dates
to the 7th have been received. An im
mense war meeting was held in Wash
ington last Wednesday. Old Abe was
present and made a speech. He referred
to the quarrel between McClellan and
the Secretary of War, and said the dis
pute waßnot so serious as was supposed,
and arose simply from the question of
how many men McClellan had. Many
supposed the Secretary of War had not
reinforcod him to tho extent he might
have done. This wa3 not so. The Sec
retary of War had never withheld any
one thing in his power to give, and was
not to blame for not giving when he Lad
none to give. la conclusion, he referred
to McClellan in complimentary terms,
and said he believed him to be a brave
and able man; and took upon himself
what had been charged upon the Secre
tary of War—the withholding of men
from him.
Speeches were also made by General
Shields, lion. Robt. J. Walker, Senator
Ilarland, Ex Governor Boutwell, of Mas
sachusetts, General Shipley, Military
Governor of Louisiana, aud a number of

The London Herald’s Paris correspon
dent says, an article iu the Constitutional,
advocating the recognition of tho South,
has created great sensation. It is looked
upon as confirming the report of Lord
Palmerston having declined to join
France in tendering mediation between
the belligerents, and that the step has
been taken jointly by France and Russia.
The Paris correspondent of the Indepcu
dente Beige says tho Emperor of Russia
has proposed to make a personal appeal
to President Lincoln, in order to induce
him to accept, on principle, tho negotia
tion of compromise between the North
and South.
Richmond, Aug. 13.—New York pa
pers of the 9th contain letters from Port
Royal, expressing great apprehensions
of an attack upon tho fleet at Hilton
Head by the rebel ram Georgia. The
correspondent of the Times says many of
the most intelligent army officers at Hil
ton Head agree in regarding as hazard
ous in the extreme, their positions at
that point and Beaufort, should the Yan
kee Navy once lose its present absolute
supremacy over the waters of those Is
lands. Great, preparations are making
to resist tho expected attack. At last
accounts the excitement had somewhat
abated, throe contrabands having report
ed that the Floating Battery is a com
plete failure.
Augusta, Aug. 13.—The Savannah
News of this morning says the steamer
Gen. Lee returned from Fort Pulaski on
Monday night last. She was detained
at tho Fort on the ground that the Fed
erals thought that she was going to re

letter from Cameron to the Missouri Re
publican, Bays Northern Missouri is lite
rally full of organized bands of rebels,
and that the citizens are flocking to these
bands by hundreds daily, and they will
soon have the whole country in their
hands. He says all is dark and obscure,
and every move of the Federal govern
ment makes matters still worse. With
out a military Governor, he adds, we
will be completely overwhelmed by the
rebels in two months. Porter has raised
over 2,000 men, and they are hourly in
creasing as he moves from place to place.
The London Times anticipates a gene
ral uprising in the Border States since
McClellan’s defeat, and says the Yankees
are daily receiving the conviction that
the Confederates can never bo subjuga
ted. The Times attacks the New York
press for echoing the mendacious bulle
tins of the government and McClellan’s
address.
A special dispatch to the Advertiser,
dated Jackson, 12th, says the Federal
troops have taken possession of Bayou
Sara.
Breckinridge has issued a congratula
tory address to his army. He claims to
have gained a complete victory by land
at Baton Rouge, the most essential fruits
of which, however, were lost by the fail
ure of the Arkansas to co operate. All
accounts agree in saying that the Yan
kees were beaten into the river. Our
wounded are doing well. Federal pris- -
oners continue to arrive here.

A Savannah paper of Tuesday, says,
several heavy guns were heard yesterday,
the sounds coming from the direction of
Fort Pulaski, and a rocket was seen to j
go up on the Carolina side of the river
about 8 o’clock last night. Perhaps the
pirates have been stirred up by this hot
weather.

More “Skedadllng ‘
A Knoxville correspondent writing to
• the Enquirer under date of August 15th,
repeats the old story of “skcdadling”
by Borne of our East Tennessee Cav
alry. The infantry regiments in that
section have always proved true; not a
single instance has ever occurred that
would reflect the least dishonor upon
them ; on the contrary, they have always
demeaned themselves with great credit.
But the cavalry, to say the least, have
uniformly been exceedingly unfortunate.
Os course, we make all honorable excep
tions ; there are a few companies, offi
cered by sober minded and efficient men,
whioh have made their mark on one or
two occasions. But this is the excep
tion, not the rule. The most of them
manage to lounge around dirty little vil
lages, drink whiskey, steal chickens,
keep good citizens in constant apprehen
sion, and when driven out to meet the
enemy, invariably manage to get up a
stampede. East Tennessee is a country
admirably adapted to the cavalry service,
and a few regiments of well selected ma
terial, aud officered by energetic men,
who would enforce discipline, might do us
more real service in that division than
all tho artillery in the Confederate States,
were it all crowded into that mountain
district.
Col. Crawford's Regimen!.
This rogimeut, wo learn by a recent
letter in the Times, has been fully organ
ised, and is still at Camp Randolph in
this State. Adjt. J. P. S. Winder has as
sumed the duties of his offico and is giv
ing entire satisfaction. Harry DcLau*
nay, of this city, has received the ap
pointment of Sergt. Major of the regi
ment, and Rev. J. 11. Hinton, of Rome,
has been appointed Chaplain. The wri
ter says :
The last act of the formation of
the regiment was the organization of
the 10th company. This was accom
plished on the 2Gth ultimo, much to
the gratification of all concerned. The
company ranks as company K, 3d Regi
ment Georgia Cavalry, Col. M. J. Craw

Self Respect.
It is gratifying to observe that our
people are growing less anxious every
day about foreign recognition and inter
vention. We have had enough specula
tion upon the chances of “intervention,”
in all conscience. It is getting time the
subject should be allowed to rest. Un
less we are willing to win our cause by
any sacrifices, however great, or by a
tedious war, however loDg and devasta
ting, wo are wholly unworthy of the po
sition to which we aspire, and would only
disgrace it, were it in our posecssion.
We are fightingjfor independence, for the
right to exist as a member of tho great
family of nations. To enjoy such apo
sition, we must keep clear of all entang
ling alliances, and be independent in
facl, as well as in name. Otherwise, our
titles will not be worn with honor. We
shall appear before the world very much
in tho same sight as a pcnnyless Baronet
appears in European society—an object
of pity and derision.

Mr. Batc3 (of the firm of Earing Broth

bankers in London, are Americans by
birth, but seem to have become aliens
and enemies of this country by educa- >
tion. They have both accumulated large 1
fortunes from their dealings with this
country, and now, in the time of our !
trial, they denounce our Government, j
applaud the Confederates, discredit our
stocks, send them here for sale, and at- j
tempt to drain our market of specie.— j
Mr. Thurlow Weed asserts that Mr. Pea
body is a ioyal man; but Mr. Weed was |
fresh from Peabody’s dinner table when ‘
he made that assertion, and facts are

Death of Gen. Sam. Houston.
Sam. Houston, Ex-Gov. of Texas, has

of Gen. Houston. On the 24th inst., Mr.
Clark spoke at a war meeting in Boston
Common. Mr. Clark said he had been
surprised since coming North to hear that
it had been reported and believed that
Gov. Houston had given his adherence to
secession. As his son in law, and the
one who bad closed his eyes in death, he

To the Editors of the Enquirer :
Richmond, August 2, 1802.
Gentlemen: Having been frequently
called upon by persons wishing to employ
substitutes for the army, and my opin
ion asked as to whether the Captain of
companies or the Colonels of regiments
possessed the power to reject all substi
tutes, and not wishing to give opinions
upon subjects with which I am not famil
iar, I submitted the question to the Sec
retary of War, and received from him the
following, whioh, he having consented
thereto, I desire you to publish. It gives
the general rule on the subject:
R. L. Montaque.
“One substitute per month is allowed
in each company. The substitute must
not be liable to conscription, and must
be physically and morally fit to be a sol
dier. In deciding the question of fitness
the Colonel has the right to overrule the
Captain, but in such case, if he rejects
the substitute, should report his reasons
to the Department, in order that tbeir
sufficiency may be determined. He
should confine himself to objections to
the substitute, and not, as some do, state
objections to the policy of substitution.”
Geo W. Randolph,
Secretary of War.
