the Colonel of the rrgimeut, wbo begged

that 1 would leave the matter in his bands,

ami he would see thsl Mi" men were taught

the duty of soldiers. When I sfierward got up to Louiavills I wss ahown a long article from the Uhicsgo Times, written by

a Captain nf the OOtR Illinois, who waa no' on the ground at the time of their inaub

ordinate mieconduct, but who saw fit to

write a very insubordinate article in reference to what he heard I had aaid, and in which he terribly distorted the lac's. He was, ol course, dishonorably disuiusid Irom 'he service."

This is worthy of a little consideration

1. AU hough it is not probable thst in

this regiment then were twenty men wh

had voted for Mr. Lincoln, they all heartily

cheered for the President of the United

States, the Chief Msgistratc of the nation

2. When called upon to cheer for the

negro policy of the Administration, they

Lieutenant Colonel to know tbe reason of

considerably 'mortified" the Lieutenant Col.

at which we are not greatly aatonii-hed.

opposed to the "negro policy of the Government" to step forward, at the ssmf time remarking thst the regiment "hsd seen

4. A captain of the regiment wrote an account of what occurred to a Chicago paper, for which "he was of course dishonorably dismissed the aervice." If be represented the facta any woree than General Thomas himself repreaente them, possibly be deserved his fate.

And yet. while we find an official emia-

aary of tbe Cabinet making auch statements

as theae. we ere constantly told of the un

animity of the eoldler in favor of ' the negro

boaated unanimity. 'Instant aeixure" and

WHEKE LAW r.kl DERFOTIRM BEGIRA. Another object of the C institution I

tske to be such as is common to all written

Constitutions of free Governments; that is, to fix limits to delegated authority, or, in other worda, to impose constitutional rea

trainta on political power. Some, who esteem themselvta Republicans, teems to hink no other security for public liberty necessary, than a provision for a populsr

choice of rulcra. If political power be

delegated power, they entertain little fear of

ita being abuacd. The people'a servants and favorites, they think, may be aefely trusted. Our fathers, certainly, were not of

thiaschoo). They sought to make assurance

doubly sure, by providing, in the first plsce,

for the election of political agents by the people themselves, at ahart intervals; and, in the next place, by prescribing constitutional restraints on all branches of thia delegated authority. It is not among the cir

cumstances of the timea, most ominous for duct

It has afforded me great pleaaure to learn

that the general conduct and character of

the army haa been temperate and indulgent, and that your Attention to thej quiet end

comfort of the Weelern inhabitant haa been

well received by them. Still it may be

proper, conatently and alrongly.to impreaa upon the army that they are mere agente of civil power: that they have no more euthoritv than other citixene; that offenaea

against the laws are to be examined, not

by a military officer, but by a magiatrate, that they are not exempt from arreate and

ndictmenta for a violation of law; that

officers ouebt to be careful not to give or

dere which may lead.their agente into in-

fractions of law; that no compuleion te useo . ...A ,k inhabitants in the traffic carry

I believe the article is aimed for a burleaque on our neighborhood and especi Ally on the Court and Jury referred to. He Heems to think that Ireland ia the plsce to give traitor Justice but I beg to differ

with him, lor the Jury esse referred to is

the first one on our criminal docket nnd

"Loysliy" and Co. have been running at

large all the time without molestation and

would occasionaly belch out their treason so far aa to hurrah for Jeff Davis. 1 admit one assertion that Ireland is a Loyal

Neighborhood, and If 'Loyalty" and Co. waa aent South or could have the oppor

tunity of atrsightening the kinks out of a

small hemp rope which a great many aa

good men will soon have to do we would have a perfect Loyal community. As ap

A Decisior as to the Bourtt A de

cieion baa been lately made ae to the pay

ment of bounty to a peraon serving two vears. Ae It may be of intereat to many

of our aoldiera, we give Ihe following rela

tive to it:

Elias Brown, of the Twenty thlrd Ohio,

claimed thst he wae entitled to and ahould

receive the $100 bounty, under the aet of Congreas, approved July 22, 1861, having

eerved for the period of two years undeT one

enlistment. The Faymeeter dechnee paying tbe bounty, and haa indoreed bis rea

sons as follows:

"First. That there ia no entry on his

final statement that be is entitled to it.

Second. He baa not aerved lwo yeara

in one enlietroeot since tbe passsge of the

set of Congress creating the bounty."

The following is Auditor French's dect-

aion relative to Ihe matten

"Hespectfully returned. "If the incloaed 'copy' or the final statea . a I '

mcnt is corroborstcd by tnc min i -ais-

charce' that he waa in service two yesra

from May 22, 18G1 he is, under a late de

cision of the Secretary of War, entitled to the bounty, although tbe fact may not be

atatcd in hia 'final statement.' Major Sher

man, wbo paid him on hia discharge, will aleo pay him the 100 bounty, if satisfied, as above stated, that ha was in service two

years from May 22,1861.

"B. B. FRENCH, Auditor. ' frrin the New York Tribune of the 22d

of July, in speaking of the flrat negro rrg. iment in Kansas, called the' Piret Kansas

Colored Uegiment," it is said that "to-day

it ia the beat disciplined and most perfectly drilled regiment in the American army."

That ia putting it on pretty steep, and

exalting Sambo pretty high. We had been

led to auppoae that our veteran white regimen's in the eervice of the country had become eomewhat proficient in drill and duty ; but here a regiment of ncgroee wbo
