W. O. B BOWS LOW. 8eptembr,7, 1803. Xfie rosltlon of Cieu. irlcrcdiiti. We have beard the statement made within tho put week, by the adherents of Mr. Julian, that Gen. Moredith was opposed to tha Emancipation Proclamation of the President, and to the) other measures of the administration, and also in favor of Gen. M'CIellan for the next Presidency. Wo have authority for saying that any man who says he has hoard (Jen. Meredith express himself as above reported, states that which is false and without foundation. It is in Vaanin with hn past courso of J ulian to accuse man who has been in tho service of bis coun try on the battle-Hold, ever since the war began, ! of being opposed to tho Government. To tho unconditional Union Voters of Wayne County. In the BroaJaxt of the 12th inst, a aeries of articles appears in favor of Col. Frank A. Hardin, and against Lieut. Sam'l B. Schlagle, which calls for a brief rejoinder. Our only object in noticing, or alluding to the attacks on Lieut. Schlagle, is not to refute them, for they are unworthy of a moment's attention or reflection of any honorable or high-minded man, but we lake the opportuoily they afford us to say one word lo the unconditional Union men of the County. In this canvass for the Clerkship, those who aspired to it were supposed to be all Union men each one had a right to be a candidate, and the ftiends of each, to urge their claims. It was hoped that, in the leal and warmth of the contest no one TOuld forget that courtesy and kindness which was due from one friend of our glorious Union towards the other laboring as we all should be, in trying to put down this infernal rebellion, and standing, as we should be, shoulder to shoulder. This course, we had a right to expect ; but that expectation has proved futile. On the announcement that Lieut. Sohlagle was a candidate for the office, a flood of abuse, misrepresentation of his position, and disparagement of his qualifications, has been poured out on bis devoted head without stint, through the channel above indicated. It is not our purpose, fellow-citizens, to reply In kind-to return measure for measure, in order to reach the slanderers and defame rs of this brave young man, who has been fighting fot his eanntry and facing death in almost every form, whilst they have been cowardly skulking at home out of harm's way, ready to ply their vocation of tradueieg the character of just such men as Samuel B. Schlagle, if perchance they thought ho stood iu the way of the advancement of their political schemes and chicanery. After braving the bullets and bayonets of the rebels 7-beiog crippled for life ws ask, if it is the fitting reward for his services, whea the soldier reaches his home on crutches, to be thus met, " when his friends here thought proper to place him before you for your sofiwrages, by men who profess to be Patriots, -to belong to the great Unios pauTr T Shams f Shame ! ! eternal shame on any Union man who would thus demean himself. A feast like this, it would naturally ho expected, the valient soldier would bo invited to by confirmed "copperheads" Uatore to their country, or, hers ad there s scavenger and pimp, who had been found voting (Hit tie tdUor of the Broadaj) for A traitor Breckenridge ' at tie last Presidential tampaimgn; but from xjbsb who were at heart uncondtiooaliy for the Uiikn few MT-atJ EYEB!

To the Voters of Wayne County. Fsuow-CiTizzsa : It has been ray good fortune to be a citizen of " Old Wayne " near thirty-four years, and daring that time I have established a reputation that you have frequently endorsed by conferring upon me some of the rnost Lonerable and responsible offices in your gift ; for.all -f which I take this, pecasion to return to jou the homage, of a grateful heart. The prefer ments conferred have been the evidences of your continued approbation of my official career. Like others who Lave been successful 1 hare found enemies and bitter opponents. . . ; . . In October, 1859, it was your pleasure io elect me Clerk of He Courts of Wayne County. Io March, 1860, I entered upon the duties of tLe office ; bat when Fort Sumter was bombarded, I felt that no civil office eould restrain me from a duty 1 owed to the "old Flag," the Federal Government and our glorious Union. Keceiving a commission as Colonel of the lOih Indiana, I I roceeded to raise that regiment, and the history of my effort?, the opposition I met wilb, are etUl fresh io the memory of the people of Wayne county. Efforts on the part of professed loyal men were arrayed against roe; but by your supporting arms 1 raided as brave a regiment as ever was marshalled on a contested field, or struggled in freedom's holy cause. The brave boys under my command soon distinguished themselves, Rod won the merit of being among the beet disciplined troops in the t Army of the Potomsc. This prestige won for them a front position in most of our bloody engagements, and while ' grim visaged war " was decimating our ranks, and we were enduring the hardships of camp

I life, my unrelenting enemies were pursuing ineir won at nemo. The office of Clerk which you had so magnanimously conferred upon me, with its honors and emoluments, you could not see I had forfeited by volunteering to defend our glorious Government from the threatened overthrow of the rebellion. You believed that I deserved more rather than less of your favor, and without my knowledge reelected me to the office which my enemies had vacated. This kind act of yours cheered my heart and the heart of every brave man in my command. After tho battles of Gainesville, Bull Run, Chantilla, South Mountain and Antietam, Gens. Hooker and McClellan saw proper to recommend me to our excellent President for promotion. By hiai I was commissioned a Brigadier General. This promotion gave those hungering after the office of Clerk another opportunity to dedare the office vacant, and me unworthy of the place. Thus, you see, as I win the laurels of my country, in tho estimation of my enemies, 1 am unfitted fortbe office of wbicu your goodoess so kindly bestowed upon me. I desire no further conflict over that question. I bow submissively to those who deny me the office, and leave you to rebuke the malignity which has been hounding me ever since I hare been in the service of my country. On the altar of my country I have pledged " my life, my fortune and my sacred honor," and, living or dead, feel confident that the people of Wayne county will sustain me in all that is honorable and praiseworthy. At this time I find you engaged in a heated contest for the office of Clerk. I am charged with having brought out Lieut. Schlagle as a candidate for said ffice, and am " running him to secure the office and its profits to myself." This I mott potitivtfy and unequivocally deny. Lieut. Schlagle came to me and solicited my influence for the office after Mr. Haroiv, Mr. Couuos and Mr. Swaffobd had been announced as candidates. I had determined, in conse quence of indisposition resulting from my late wounds, to take no prominent part in the contest, and thus avoid the excitement and bickerings consequent upon it. I dis suaded Lieut. Scblaglk from appearing as a candidate as it would be to late to make a successful canvass, and in th's I am endorsed by the affidavits of that gentleman as well as that of George W. B&rmks, Esq., both of which I have appended to this paper. I may say in conclusion, fellow ciiisens, that the above named candidates, each pledged themselves not to run for said office if I desired to continue in the position. I thanked them for their kindness and declined the honor. But, since Lieut Schlaglk has been brought forward by so many of the best citizens of the county as their choice for the office to be filled, with a pledge to use their influence in Lis behalf, and having many times gone through the fiery ordeal of battle side by side with thot brave young man, and having received with him the baptism of blood on many hard fought fields, I feel that it is my duty, as it is my highest pleasure, to give him my cordial support for the office to which lie aspires, and which he so richly merits. The brave men of the 19:h regiment have never deserted me, aud while life lasts I will not desert one of them. SOL. MEREDITH. The undersigned, having heard that it has been reported that Gen. Meredith had, on the 5th day of September, 1863, solicited and advised me to become a candidate for nomination to the office of County Clerk, and had also met io caucus with a number of persons on said day, in the City of Richmond, in said County, for the purpose of urging me to beoome a candidate for said office, and "bringing me ont" as such candidate, and, knowing that the same is utterly false, and without foundation in truth, i desire for the purpose of patting at rest such false reports to make public the following affidavit, to-wit: Statt of India.a, Wayne County. J s. Before me, John Fioley, Msyor of the city of Richmond, personally came S. B. Schlagle, and first being duly sworn on oath says, that he has not at any time, or at any place been solicted by Geo oral Meredith to become a candidate for Clerk. And he particularly states that he has never at any place or at any time mot in caucus with Gen. Meredith for the purpose of being brought out" as a candidate for the office of Clesof said County but that on the contrary that on said day having asked the advioe of Gen. Meredith as to the propriety of becoming a candidate for Clerk, I was told by the General, that although ho felt friendly as a father to ma and felt great interest in my success in life, yet as several was too Iste, snd advised against my being ! sv candidate . i T;' qiut tj dnnrinrr candidates were already out be thought t Lieut, SAM'L B.

I am reluctantly driven, injustice to my self and friends, to make a brief reply to the presistent and malignant misiepresenta tions of those wha oppose mv nomination to the Clerkship of this county, concerning the manner in vthich my name was brouglt before the people as a candidate for tht office. The first intimation made to me that i would be a proper person to become a can didate for this office, was on Friday morning, September 4th. I had been disabled by a wound on the field at Gettysburg In ' come home fo avail myself of a mother' care in nursing that wound, and was in the City of Richmond on the morning named, on a visit to my relatives and friends. Up to that moment I never thought of becoming a caudidate for any civil office, and when a gentleman suggested the propriety of allowing my name announced as a candidate for Clerk, it was a thing as much unlooked for on my part as any event of my life. I replied to the suggestion by 6aying that I had heard Gen. MereJith'd name mention cd in connection with the office, and I could not, cf course, become a candidate in ' opposition to him. I met Gen. Meredith iu this city on the afternoon of the next day, and learned of him that he would not bj a candidate for the office. I then stated to the General that my friends had urged me to came out as a caudidate, and asked his opinion as to the propriety of complying with their request. lie stated that he thoughtjl would be unable to present my case fairly before the people; otherwise, he could see no objection to ray becoming a candidate. My friends in this city having drawn up a paper setting forth my case, and more j than one hundred of the citizens of Rich;ruond and the eastern half of the county bavin" subscribed their names to it, pledg ing me their active support and influence for the nomination, I accepted these proposals so generously and with such unanimity tendered me, and I am now before you, soliciting your support. j Desiring no controversy with those who have seen proper to attack my private char- j acter, and traduce my honor as a soldier, I j leave to those whose inclinations qualify , them for the task, whatever gratitication j their malice and disregard of oommon decen J cy and courtesy among gentlemen may be j able to secure. If my merits as a man and a i soldier do not secure lo me tho public favor without requiring me to stab the reputation of my opponent, I shall forever remain where I am, in the private walks of life. If elected to the office, I pledge myself to attend to its duties personally, and de vote my undivided attention to the faithtul and honest discharge of its duties. SAM.L B. SCHLAGLE. 1st Liut, Co.

a t gv-rhelast True (Julian) Republican, contained an editorial and communication, occupying near two columns of that sheet, misrepresenting and attempting to injure the prospects of Lieut. Schlagle, whose friends have seen proper to announce him as a candidate for Clerk of this county. Lieut. S. is a gallant and efficient soldier has been in the war from the commencement of tha rebellion, has suffered and en

dured all the privations incident to the life of a .... ... soldier, nas passed through, with his comrades icksburg, South Mountain, Chancellorsville and Gettysburg. At the latter place, he was se verely wounded and disabled for life. Yet, ia the face of alt these facts; the Julians oppsse h?s election and seek, by misrepresentation and abuse, to injnre a soldier of the Union, wh has done everything in his power to secure the suc cess of our arms, and uphold the institutions of the country; while not a singla one of that illustrious family, have gone to the war or done anything to assist in suppressing the rebellion. They were too good to volunteer "there were plenty of poor boys and loafers to go and set themselves up as targets for rebels to shoot at!"' They are welcome to all the capital they can make out of such conduct Liout. Schlagle, as well as every other individual who goes to this war, and perils his life in defense of the Government, is entitled to, and will receive, the gratitude of the citizens of this county, who will never turn their backs on a faithful soldier and true patriot, to gratify selfish partizans. "Hruso Pasiobs Stromu" aftkr Death. The Louisville Journal says of JohnB. Floyd, the thief; "Floyd is certainly dead. The devil has his dues, but the gallows is cheated. The devil had better take good care of his pitchfork, or Floyd will steal it." Latest War News: The reports from Charlestown, tbat a white flag was diaplayed on Moultrie, and that the Monitors were between Moultrie and Sumter, needs confirmation. That there u a heavy movement going on in Lee's army is satisfactorily ascertained, but what it means is an open question. One opinion is that Lee's whole army is falling back to some point farther South than Richmond ; another, that he is reinforcing Bragg and Beauregard ; and still another, that the movement is a feint to draw Meade away from his present position, when he would flank him and attack. It is also stated that the rebels expect the co-operation of two iron-clad, to arrive from England, with which they propose to force the passage of Potomac. It is quite reasonable to look for some important and desperate movement on the part of the rebels, for they are in a desperate condition and must either fight or give up. They fully appreciate the impor tance of striking for victory at this crisis, in order to revive the rapidly sinking hopos of their people, and we may feel certain that they will embrace the first favorable opportunity to strike. A concentration against Kisecrans, however, seems more probable than a movement against Meade. Fort Wagner. Last evaning sept C, an assault was ordered. Brigadier-General Perry was to command, and with two small regiments in three columns was to make the attack in front and rear. The troops moved forward lor the work, and as they were nearly ready a deserter arrived with the information that the enemy had evacuated the forts.

In addition to the prisoners taken we captured nineteen guns, fourteen of which were in Fort Wagner and the remaining fire in Battery Gregg. The armament of Wagner consisted of two ten-inch columbiads, oue ten-inch mortar, five navy howitzers, mounted on seacoast carriages; three carronades, one rifled gun and two field pieceB. Gregg was armed with three ten-iuch columbiads and two field guns. Nearly all the pieces had been spiked, but in such a manner tbat the spikes can be easily withdrawn from the seats. These eruns are nearly worn cut. nd are now of little use except for short ranges. ; IS3IDE VIEW OF FORT WAOXER. i The scene which presents i;self to the eye r of a visitor at Fort Wagner this morning is i one of utter wreck and ruin. The broken ' parapets, the dismounted guns, the sand piled up before the eotracas of the bombproof, the bolts and fragments of exploded ; shell with which the terreplein is paved, and, f more than all, the heaps of rebel slain, some lying in the san and others half buried in the loose sand, show what a fearful ordeal the garrison passed through.

FOR THJE "RlCHMOSD PALLADIUM.

Dxa Davis Ton have doubtless noticed an article in the Julian Republican" of last week over the signature of -Cnion" in which I feel that I have done great injustice ti Gen. Meredith, Omer. Newman and Lieut. Schlagle, who is a candidate for Clerk. I am convinced by a conversation with Gen. Meredith that he had no part ia bringing Lieut. Schlagle before the public for said office. I have learned from Ooaer Newman that he had notified his uncle that he could not continue as deputy Clerk, and notified the Gen. that he must look oat for another to taks his place. I have mads the acquaintance of the "Soldier boy" Schlagle, and find him to be a noble gentleman with splendid social qualities, good education, aud writes a splendid business band, I think him competent and worthy, and I know the good people of Wayne county will give him a triumphant nominationI am for a vigorous prosecution of the war, and for the next war for Sol Meredith, Sehiaglj, and all other good and brave soldiers. I wrote the article referred to at the suggestion of another, for which 1 ask the soldier's pardon. I will never a .rain crailtv of associating with a wretch who wilt betray me to do a wroncr- i "Usios." New Yoax, Sept. 15.

J Portlaso. Spt. 15. We have additional returns from thirty-six towns, which give Cory 1,031 majority against 416 last vear. So far, 226 towns give Cory 43,934; Brad bury 33,877, being a majority of 15,057. The towns to be heard from will considera bly increase this majority, rull returns from York county give 300 Union majority;! rrankiin county gives about 00 majority for the Union; Oxford about 1,200. and Ken nebeck, it is thought, 3,500. The vote is very close io Lincoln county. The Proof Filiogj Up. A few days since a correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette stated that he had been) assured, by leading citizens of Georgia and , Alabama, that Vailandigham, during his ' stay among them, had nrged them to hold . Vicksburg as long as possible " because his j election depended on the success of tha Confederates there." The Copperhead press denied it, though their motive to lie was so strong that nobody doubted they did lie, . and the denial watherefore a mere waste of mendacity. But a weak contradiction ' has been promptly met by crushing refuta-1 tion. The Chicago Tribune has ready for ' the inspection of any Copperhead who dares' to deny its authenticity, a letter written by' a rebel Provost Marshal attached to Bragg's ; army, and a man evidently of unusual in-; telligence, in which the same fact is clearly i : .it..v.i . . i ipu. buu uuihibi aaauijr Btnitru. x uv latter wui written to friends in Western Tennessee' and captured in the possession of a mail; carrier, who is now or was recently in custody at Columbus, Ky. The writer heard Vhllundigham make the statement in his presence, that his election depended upon rebel success at Vicksburg. Indianapolis Journal. Another .Tlarlyr Ooue. Our readers will recollect George P. Kane, "Marshal Kane" of Baltimore. He was one of the early victims of the "arbi 'rary arrests, J . rhose taking up and iocarIQl.LWil ,u A vi . hiatal ticetcu C&IIUU9I "j ,. 1 1 as much excitement and troubla imon? ihe , . .,i 1:k...... .ri llicuua Vi uc.auum iiuuiiy nun liecuoui of speech," as the arrest of Vailandigham. His arbitrary arrest was denounced all over the country by the very papers and men who now denounce the arrest of Vallaudigham, in precisely the same way. lie was arrested for the same cause opposing the Government in time of war and giving aid d comfor, or encouragement to its enemies,-! !and we presume there are few, of whatever i , . . , . . . . -,, . character or party, but wnac will aree tbat hj waj noQe he feg9 ., and nomora so j thaQ VllDdiham. They were friends; they looked upon the war iu the same light as unconstitutional, wrong, and an invasion of the rights of the South. They looked upon the Government or Administration in the same light, and both resolved to do what they could to oppose it and aid the rebellion. This man Kane was let out of Fort Lafayette some months ago, but he did not be. have himself any better. So the Government bad him arrested for treason, under the civil law. But he was iu Judge Taney's bailiwick, and when brought before tnat eminent Jurist, was released on bail. Where is he now ? A M ajor-Geseral ta the Rebel Army ! Of course this case was badly managed ; but no more so than an hundred others equally as guilty as he. The Constitutionality of the Conscription Act Judicially Affirmed. A case was brought before Judge Cadwallader in the District Court of the United ' States for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, raising the question whether the provision in the Conscription Law, tbat thede cision of the Military Board udou claims duly made for exemption under the law,' shall be final, precludes ju iical inq liry, i into lua rigu. ui cxeuipiiou, aiter tne -Unitary Board has decided against the claim. The question of the constitutionality of the act was also raised. Judge Cadwallader decided that the provision of the law makes the decision final in military proceeding: it is not subject to ret - . a 1 a .a . w . - vision oy nigner authority, libs the findings of Courts Martial; bat that it cannot make the decision final so as to preclude judicial inquiry into the right. The Judge pronounces the Consscription Act constitutional. The constitutional au thority of Coagress to past the act is deriv ed from the grant of power to raise armies, which is desunct from the power conferred as to the malitia of the several States. The act may specify the time when the drafted men shall be subject to military ru! and from that time penalties may be imposed ana eniorcea oy courts martial. 'Ihe limitations of the law conform the constitutional provisions against the military power becoming supreme; and such limitations as the Conscription Act has provided 'would have prevented the compulsory requirement of though it bad included svery able bodied, 'rinhabitant. - : 1

The following extract is from an able aiticle io the Missouri Democrat of August 20th: " In the settlement of this question, the first and chief consideration the one mot dlffiult for amicable solution!, what course shall be Ssjtod with regard to slavery. And aytais" point it is all important that we should? ha s -a correct understanding of the statvt which that institution will hold when the Union is actively reinstated. "The Radices wish to make the destruction oi slavery ia the rebel States a condition of their return to tho Union," say the Conservatives. This is not so, for the best of all reasons, via: that slavery does not now exist ia the rebel States. On the 1st of January, 1363, slavery in every one of the Slates, and parts of States, then in tebellion against the Federal Government, died. The proclamation of President Lincoln, the Commander iu Chiefof the army ond oaty of the United States, was iu death warrant. It perished at the hands of the war power. Legally it can have no existence in these States, as members o Hie Federal Union, until re-established. The question then is not whether in the revolting States, upon their resumption of power as mem. bers of the Union, with the consent of the loyal members, slavery shall be destroyed. It is whether it shall be established the same as upon soil which had been previously free. The question is not whether four millions of slaves shall be made freemen, but whether four millions of freemen shall be made slaves. The States in question, in legal contampla'.ion, are now free from slavery shall they remain so, or shall they by our action (for as we have shown, the loyal States must settle the question.) be surrendered to slavery ? Shall the procla-mation-which is the na'ion'a pledge, through its proper representative, to four millions of men and women four millions of men and women who have been loyal to the Union in the midst of treason be carried out in good faith or repudiated Such are the real, solemn questions which will be presented to the American people, and which they n.ust decide so soon as the rebellion is over. In all human probability they will be called upon to decide iu the next Presidential election. Upon the issue we have presented we de- j I sire to be understood as Iioldiug no equivoId f cal position. We are for freedom. We are t so for many reasons. Our hostility to sla- . verya nosuiny wmcn alter tne events ot i .... ii e. . i Itie last tUirtV months, needs no eXDlanation, IS One reason. Our regard for the faith Of the Nation, which Stands pledged . A, e , . , . r, to the f reedmen Of the rebel States by the moot Rfilomn of f,immrl arwl linriAr alnVli most solemn OI Compacts, aim under WUICII at Port Hudson, at Fort W agl.er, at Milltk;. r , ., ,1 j t..k-- , r 1 t IU S Jieild, aocf elsewhere, the men COl - Or nave lumishea the Consideration IU their blood poured out as the price of liberty, is another reason. Another reason, and one of no light weight in our estimation, is our desire to see peace restored with the Union. This ttill never be, if slavery is recognised as an existing institution in the returning States. At ouce, iu that case, will arise a thousand embarrassing questions, which will render the establishment of order an impossibility. Hundreds of thousands of negroes, who will in that case be recognised as slaves, all having legal masters, will be found living and acting as free men and women. .come of them will wear the uniform of Federal soldiers, and bear the scars of battles they bad fought for the Union which would consign them to bandage. An indiscriminate slave hunt would follow, leading to scenes of violence and confusion, surpassing anything Pandemonium ever saw. Peace in the Union, we are persuaded, is attainable only upon a basis of unconditional freedom." The Why of It. "The negro emancipation policy, at which we have so long hooted, is the most potent lever of our overthrow. It steals upon us almost unawares, and ere we oan do any,1 : .1 1.,.; .....J e. wlc iu""vua uenucU) leuiuics without servants, camps without necessary attendants, women and children in want and misery. Letter of a Mississippi Rebel. That is the reason the Copperheads oppose emancipation so strenuously. It hurts the rebellion, and whatever makes it writhe lakes them groan. Whenever a battle or measure wrenches i's limbs or weakens its wind, the Copperheads grunt and moan in sympathy. They declare that emancipation is a failure, that it only excites the rebels to sterner resistance, and blocks the way to a reunion most completely, but while pretending that it is nothing, they fight it al! the time, and with every argument, sarcasm and lie they ean find or make. Do men fight what they don't fear ? Do they fight a dead antagonist ? Do they keep on fighting with increasing ranoor, and multiplying lies, on a dead antagonist? Not much. Why then do the Copperheads kedp on extending their works, against it?. Every day a new lis is mounted on the "Nigger Equality" battery, and felibk shells of the greatest bulk and most intolerable nastiness thrown out of it; every day the ''competition with-white labor" mine is run further and further; every day the short-range but noisy smooth-bore argument "It will prevent a reconstruction of the Union" is fired with more energy. And yet if we are to believe the sole ma declaration of the besieging force, there is no fort or enemy before them, no walls to un der mine, no garrison to suffocate. They are firing, digging, mining and fighting, just for "fun." If the Emancipation is a failure, why don't they let it alone, and fight something that is cot? If it is not a failure, but is doing the rebellion all the mischief the above letter says it is, why don't they admit it, and make an intelligible reason for a hostility which cow appears to be as silly as it is useless? But we need not wait for anj anwer that will never come. Tke Copperheads oppose emancipation because it is not a failure, because it is dangerous and damaging to tbe rebellion. The rebellion is their anxiety, and, as long as it is safe they are not going to worry themselves about weapons that don't touch it. They would be only too gld, if enamcipation were useless, to keep loyal men in the delusion that it was effective, because as long as the delusion lasted tbe useless weapon would be employed, and more dangerous ones might ha overlooked.

XyThe feeling of our soldiers toward those who are plotting the surrender of tWa nation to tha rebels, is well illustrated by aa anecdote related by the Valparaiso RebmUic. The Rev. Mr. Lagan, of that town, found in the ear, the other day, a soldier who had lost a leg at Gettysburg. Mr. Logans aid to him: "Well, sir, they have let yon out of the service, I see. - "No. sir, replied tho wounded man, "I ain't out yet. i enlisted to fight to the end of the war, and I am going to do it." "Well." said Mr. Logan, "what can you do new ? "Fight Copperheads," he said. "Bat what caa yon do in your condition ? Sir," said the bold soldier, straightening up, and his eyas flashing, "they must keep out of the way of my crutch.'
