to u arai mien, in tue course ot a lew weeks,

sde especially private in it- character, established between him and me relations of an unaniiahie and disagreeable nature. Several month ubse pient to thee events, the BCBtleUeil ' Rgflgcd in i using the 4 Irish reg iment," urged my appointment to the command of it upon the Governor of the State. At that lime the Irish element of our population, at all inclined to enter the service, had been mainly absorbed in other military organizations, and the regiment in question was recruited at great labor mi l expense. It was finaliy ordered in the field with but about eight hundred men John 0. Hughe, ol Diyfon. Ohio, a Captain in the Mex lean war, a M ijor in the three months service, a gallant soldier, nti accomplished officer, and an Irishmm bv birth, was pursunlel to accept a C iptaii.cy in this Irish regiment. He wa cm missioned as sip h by OoY. Morton, and being tin iciiiainted in Indiana, succecled. in the lim ited time allowed llfBj. in recruiting huf few men who. on the receipt of marching orders, wore distributed throughout the corps, leaving the regimen' with nine companies only, and Captain Baghe without a command In March, 1 62, while the regiment was still in Kentucky, a vacancy occurred in the Captaincy of company E. and. at the uninimous request of the men. 1 assigned Captain Hughes to the command of that company As MOS as an officer authorized to act In the premises could be found, Captain Hughes was regttl irly mustered into the service of the I'tiiti 1 x: ite., und has drawn pay only

from the ! Cc of th it muster. These are the

however, when the army changed its base. I came within the command of Rrigadier C.eneral Smith, at Tullahoma. In the meantime, the bitter feelings aroused in the regiment, by the advent ot Lieutenant Colonel Mullen, had somewhat subsided, and I had received and put on duty nearly all the officers who accompanied him. One Captain and three Lieutenants were -em with Mullen, for whom theie were no vacant places in the regiment, and 1 could not have rereived them had 1 been even willing and anxious to do so I had determined to persist in my retusal to receive B F. Mullen into the .löth reg iment. if lor no other purpose, at least, to test mv nht to reject him. Iu .y correspondence with this bcjmbj, at Shelby rill , I did not, fordi plomatic reasons, assign the main points on which 1 should justify my action. To General Smith, however, before whom Lieut. Col. Mullen brouuht his claims, I verbally stated my position in the premises in about the following terms: C.eneral Orders No 61, War Department, 186 , pro hibit the mustering ot a volunteer officer into the service of the L'nited States, until such officer shall represent a specified number ot men. or until he shall be ordered into the field with a command Lieut. Col. Mullen and his dozen officers were all musteret! into the service at Indianapolis, while representing less than one tenth the number of men they were required to represent to entitle them to be so mustered. It is true that these ot-fu-erx had been re commissioned for the 3.)th reg iment, then in the field; but, until they joined it,

before Lieut t'ol Mullen left Indianapolis, hav iti4 ler one pi: tut in the hand of hi maater. that he should Levome the commanding officer ol the 3."uh regiment. Accordingly, after my return to Indiana, on a short leave of absence granted for the benefit of my health I received an order fmm the War Department announcing the fact, without explanation or comment, that I was discharged from the service of the I "mied Si i'e. I'rev:. -is to RMB, I had not received the slightest intimation, cor had QtML Rue'.l, nor any of my intermediate commanding officers, that c'iarges were anywhere RBIfli against me. or that my discharge from the service was in contemplation Why was it done? I w it informed by the chief on the stuff ol Gen Halleck, who consulted the record for the reason, that u trat done at thr rruunt of thr Governor nf Indiana, because, as alleged, I would not receive the offi cers he sent tne. liov. Morton knew, when he sent me three officers, for whom there were no vacant places in the Ktfl regiment, that I could not receive them He also knew , some time !e fore my dicharge was effected, that all the offi cers he sent me, for whom there were vacan', places in my regiment, were received and assigned to duty as rtpidly us a consideration of discipline would permit These bei&fj the fact. His Fxrellency procured my removal iijHin a false charge lodged by himself. He may deny this. If so, the records in General Halleck's office at Washington will brand him as a common liar He may attempt to ju-fifv the arbitrary act on the ground that he lias evidence

of my insubordination It may 1 that he j assesses garbled extracts from my correspondence

with Lieutenant Colonel Mullen, or statements from a wandering vagabond seeking tin office he was unfit to hold, or from menials willing to purchase position at the price ot ierjiiry ; but he can not prove, to the satisfaction of a OOOrt of lustice or a court martial, that the charge made bv him against me af Washington is not as false as his own heart is black as villainous as his nature is cowardly and infamous. If this i. nut so. and Governor Morton simply desired that justice be done, whv did he not cause charges to he MMtfcd with Oeneral Iluell, or with some other Oeneral in the field, and have me discharged the service on the verdict of a court martial ? Whv did he go secretly to General Halleck, while I was yet ill of fever, and without the knowledge of myself or friends, demand, in the name of the Governor of Indiana, that I be discharge : w ithout B trial or hearing'.' These questions are easily answered. He knew lint if any opportunity was fhrOB me to defend myself, even at Washington City, the seat of usurpation and tyranny, he would fail iu hi cowardly designs. He desired me out of the service, because he was unable to purchase my friendship or poison my political principles. Having performed my du'.ies well, and to the satisfaction of my commanders in the field, he could effect his object in one way only, and that way, though secret and villainous, as the reader has seen, was adopted Lei him enjoy his triumph as he may, but, while gloating over it, remember that "Time at la arts all thitiir. even, And if w-.. d.i Put watch the h..nr, Th re BCver el was human power That could evade, if un'oririvrn, Th.- patient seimh and vimTiI lnn Of lutn whi tica.tircs up a wTQaaT.1

With money wrung from the hard earnings of the people, his Excellency, by seeming charities, may seek to w in the hearts of tho-e who.-e friends he has driven bv llBMBlldl to useless slaughter; by the division of the spoils of office with the cormorant recipients of his mime axtired patronage, he may hede himself round with wealth and power; hut no walls that he may erect, no citadel he may build, will shield him from the inevitable grasp f the heavy hand of retributive justice. A few words w ill now explain the true cause of the discharge of Capt. John G. Hughes. In pursuance of the or let of Gov. Morton, my succeesor declined lo recognize Capt Hughes as an officer of the 35th regiment, and placed another offi cer in command of Capt H s company. In consequence of this, the rolls ent to the War Office must have shown that two Captains claimed par for service in the same company at the same time. It is fair to BBMIBM that the State Executive who had power to secure the discharge of the Colonel of a regiment, -.n a false charge, could also procure the discharge of a Captain on ground equally fallacious. When it is remem hered that the discharge of Capt. Hughes took ef. lect from the date of his muster, which, leaving the record of his successor clear, relieved the Gov ernor of an official exo-ure of the consequences of his ignorant interference, the assumption that he procured this discharge is both natural and probable. Be this as it may. it is certain that the reason assigned for the discharge of Captain Hughes to wit: that his muster into the service was a fal.ir muster, is as untrue as it is disgraceful to the murce from which it emanates. On the contrary. I eincereiy believe that it can be established to the satisfaction of any fair military commission that Col. Mullen and some of his offi cers drew pay, not only for several weeks in which they were not even on duty, in the United States service, but that they are now on duty and do draw pay under a rauter which it essentially false and illegal. Thit is, of course, a matter of no consequence to me, a I was prevented, by my removal, from having these officers re mustered and the dates of their legitimate muster properly adjusted on the roll of the regiment. I there fore leave this subject to the consideration of tho-e whom it may concern. And now, in closing this first and last defense of my conduct as an officer of the army. I have a few word- u say to the editor of the Journal, to whose malicious assaults the reader is indebted for this letter. "Conceived," as he wax, "in tin and brought forth in iniquity," it ia but natural that the emanations of bis brain should be at illi get. mate as the offspring of bis body. He ia a fit person to edit the organ of the hybrid party his paper represents a party which has no parallel in history for the wickedness of its designs or the terrible ccn sequences of its acts. Incubated by the pestilence of Abolition fanaticism, and hatched in the quagmires of Know Nothing infamy . it sprung into power shrieking for freedom freedom to act. freedom to think and freedom to apeak and has been the first party in this country to forcibly apply the gag to the freedom of speech, and trample in the dust those God-givtn rights which the patriot of the Revolution guaranteed, through the Constitution, to the white men of these United States. The disposition already manifested by the party in power to fasten a despotism upon thit country, by the destruction of the billot box. may yet compel the people, natu rallv forbearing and tolerant, to rite in their might and leach our modern Neroee and Caliguiaa that they can ot be enslaved that the de

He

should learn widsom from the te-ssone of the past, and warn his masters that they are sowing 'he wind to reap only the whirlwind that, unless they change their policy, they may live to see their party and themselves go down, in a sea of

blood, to a dishonored grave, greeted only by the widows' tigh, the orphans' sob, the peopies' curse. Let us hope that tbe F.ditor of the Journal may become regenerate, in hi latter lays, and use the intellect inherited, through an irregu". ir proces, for the diffusion of truth instead of falsehood; and that the party in power may stop in its mad career, before the irtetrievablestepit taken which may fasten upon the entire country a reign of bloodshed and terror. .1 C W uxu.
