That a proper regard for the considerations of Justice Humanity and Freedom as well as a dueappreciation of manly loyalty heroicdevotion and a nobio exhibition ofunyielding courage in camp and field

Collins Secretary JLetter irom Louisiana Head Quarters 5th U S C Inftyi Goodrich Landing La Sept 14 1861 Dear News I will give you some observations from these Head Quarters of cottonoperations Cotton Prospects This valley is as rich as the valley of the Nile hut while the inhabitants of the latter worshiped ihe white bull the inhabitants of this valley have deified a plant which grows front five to six feet high and somewhatresembles a thrifty stalk of buckwheat but covered with a flower white or red rooomWinrr n cmoll bHnbnnlr Tid4 Uuuuw0 h wuu uvjij J is King Cotton the god of this strange land Since the original devotees have fled before the hoards of Northern vandals the government has taken his honor the King nnder mtlitary protection and our forces have been protecting new volaries of this god of mammon But the King does not seem to flourish under the new dynasty Two weeks ago the cotton crop was most promising Thousands and tens of thousands would soon be snugly stored away by tho risky and unscrupulous speculator Fortunes were on the eve of being made and more whiskey was drunk You might see most every day some planter arriving from Ticksburg or Memphis with a red face and sun burnt nose carpet sack in ono hand box of cigars under the other arm follo wed by a darkey with a demijohn of whiskey on his head That sir is a government Lessoo A few days since oue of these planters was offered160Q00 for his qrop of 1000 acres but the crop gave fair promise of yielding him 300000 dollars hut in one week no one would have taken his crop and paid his expenses The army worm had done its work aod a few days changed the whole aspect Thousands of dollars worth of cotton was destroy ed and the planter wore anindescribable look of blue ami red Raids and Retaliation 1 A few days since 700 rebel Cavalry made a raid upon an adjoining planta tion run by Spraguo Co 11 1 They burned the mansion in sight killed a sick man in his bed captured and shot two others in a barbarous manner and carried off horses mules c anddisappeared This exasperated our forces and our colored Cavalry put after them chased them back of Bayou Macon some thirty or forty miles burned two towns to the ground and shot two men nd brought iu pleutv of sheep and cat tie This ia what we call wholesome retaliation and I have no hesitancy in saying grace over the beef or mutton Monarcha A Flag of truce came iu a few days since and tho officers in charge frankly avowed that they were figliting against a republican government They were in favor of a Monarchy that they had rather fight for Jeff Davjs as King than President Thai this i as ageneral understanding among their leaders That the South was essentiallyaristocratic that the mass of their army was an ignorant rabble the supple tools of their leaders incapable of selfgovernment c That they were notfighting for Slavery in itself hut as a basis of their aristocracy c 1 1 There is frankness that puts to shame the dirteating copperhead I have more respect for a rebel than u traitor Amid the din of drums tho echoing bugle and tire constant round of drill and duty tho Sabbath is not forgotten By an arrangement with tho chaplain of tho GGtk we hold our services together at 2 P M every Sabbath when the weather and the exegencies of theservice do not prevent Wo have for our church Gods first temples and it would remind you of tho old

ripened wheat to the rustling breeze Their hvmns are the old standards Alas and did my Saviour blocd When I can read my title clear c After service I generally givo thonudience a synopsis of tho events of the week which elicits much attention and interest and try to point onf t u oi God in their deliverance and intranspiring events G N Carkutiieks Ken Wade on tlie Wade amiDavis 4aostioti The following is an extract from tho Speech of Mr Wado at Meadville week before last But I see stuck up all over town and even nailed on this very platform a certain document put forth by MrDavis and myself I am told that it was posted by Democrats Well I am glad to see it Thank God that theyHlbelieve part of tho truth Laughter Theyve made me their own witness now and it ia an old principle of law that they cannot dispute my testimony Cheers and laughter If they believe what I said about Lincoln let them be lieve what I am about to say of Mc Clollan Isnt that fair 1 1 shall notdeceive you in either case thats not my vocation I never suppress the truth because it may injure me to tell it I hope the Democrats will keep on spread ing that document among the people its all right Their course is manly It is much more honorable than some cowardly sneaks of my own party who are slandering me behind my back That course was cowardly that of the Democrats is manly I wilt give them credit for all they deserve for God knows 1 can afford it Laughter I belie7e that the American people are not likoowls and and can bear the light I am unlike many party politicians of our party who come out only to laud their candidate and dont dare to criti cise his acts If our liberties are lost such sycophants will be responsible for it But if auy man takes a positionopposed to my ideas of right I meet him openly Let us sec how this document came to be issued The President vetoed an act which Congress had passed He had a perfect constitutional right to do so But ho went further and issued a proclamation appealing to the people in support of his position In doing so he cast an imputation on Mr Davis and myself who were in a measureinstrumental in preparing the bill He put forward his side of the question and whoever doos that I shall meet him Bo he President King or Peasant I shall put forth my side too Applause I am ashamed to say my party upbraided me because I was unwilling to admit that our President was infallible and could do no wrong I for one am not afraid to place thetruth before thopeople What would you think of a judge on the bench who should rule out part oi tue evidence lest tlie truth should mislead tho jury If I opposed the President I did so because I thought him wrong and I or rather Mr Davis and I was frank enough to set it forth J have little to say for myself hut I cannot suffer Mr Davis to ho attacked If free principles aro dear to you Mr Davis has more merit than any man I know of He has done more to lid Maryland of slavery than all the rest of tho men in it infinitely mora than all those pitiful croakers who assail him He has stood like a rock for the truth and won a noble victory and hisenemies shall not traduce so glorious a champion of Union and liberty without a protest from me I will not boast for myself though one infinitely greater than I boasted a little but doesnt it show that Mr Davis could elevate himself above the miserable trammels of party when ho announced what he deemod a truth and what is and soon will be the truth Politicians object that we hurt the party But our cause dont constrain us to cover up the truth Applause I think my position was right and that of the President wrong and so believing I will declare it though ihe heavens fall and no earthly dignity or station shall stand between me and the truth I have announced tho fact about Mr Lincoln now I will announco somo few facts about McClollan and when I have done chooso ye between thorn Iiom tlie ISCtli ICest Camp Chase Columbus 0 Sept 20 1961 J Ed News

we will only be trueto ourselves All wc want now to insure an early restoration of the Union is a determined unity of sentiment North Says Major General Hooker This Union must be preserved and there is no way of preserving it but by the power of our arms by fighting fhc conspiracy to death This rebellion is tottering while I speak ic is going down and will soon tumble into ruin Says Major General Meade Dismissing as now useless to discuss all questions us Lo the origin of this war we have daily and hourly evidence that it exists and that it can only beterminated by hard lighting and bydetermined cfibrls to overcome the armed enemies ol the Government Says Major General Burnsido Would it not be cowardly for us to say that this rebellion cannot be crushed and the authority of the Government sustained There is in my mind no question of it There can be no such thing as laying down of arms orcessation of hostlitics until the entireauthorof the Government is acknowledged by every citizen of our country Sys Major General Logan The greatest victory of the rebels greater than titty Mauasses and their only one that can givo them a particle of hope will be to defeat the war party at the incoming campaign Says Major General Dix My desire is to do all in my power to sustain the Government in its efforts to put down the rebellion an object to be effected iu my judgment by a steady and unswerving prosecution of the war Says tho old veteran Major General Wood Nothing for aught that I candiscover will save the Union and itsGovernment but the successes of Grant Sherman Farragut and Sheridan Astotmsiine IKsoiosiires Mr Emile Bourlier a gentleman lately in the secret service of the War Department makes the followingstatements through tho Philadelphia North American The letter was originally addressed to the National Union Club of Philadelphia in response to a note of inquiry on the subject To ihe embers of lite KUlowd Unwnj Chili rhUaddJua Gentlemen I aut iu possession of your note in which you ask me ifl remember having made certainassertions at the rooms of tho NationalUnion Club in January last on my return from the rebel lines in regard to Gen Geo B McClellan and Clement L Vallaudigham and desiring to know if I would reiterate said statement I recollect perfectly well having made certain statomenfs in regard to the two persons named aud in presence of several members of tho Club In response to your inquiry if I would repeat said statement I willanswer you by saying First That while tbe battle before Richmond Virginia in 1862 was still progressing andimmediately after McClellan had fallen back from before that city in company with a friendan officer in tho rebel service wllpwas prevented fromjoining his command in the fight iuquestion on account pf a wound received at the battle of Seven Tines and being provided with a special permit from tho War Department at Richmond Ivisited the fortifications around Richmond aud advanced to a distance of about two miles north of the city where we met Col Gayle of tho 12th Alabama rebel regiment who was a particular friend of the officer in whose company I was also Lieut Col Pickens of the same rijimnt itb lm T bn 1 llio ad un tago of a personal acquaintance The Colonel was superintending tiredisinterment of a number of cases of U S rifles which lay buried in the ground and in rows tho soil heaped over them as if they were graves Four of the cases of rifles were already unlmried when I reached the spot and I had the to me unpleasant satisfaction ofhandling some of those guns which hadalready been taken out of trio cases I heard Col Gayle say the interment of those guns ivas known at the WarDepartment Rebel even before McClellan s retreat from before that city On the inquiry of my friend and Dr Kelley of the rebel army from Col Gayle it is thought it had been intended that said guns should fall into the hand of the Confederates the Colonelanswered in the affirmative andconcluded by saying Macs all right Not more than a hundred yardsdistant from this spot Lieut Col Pickens pointed out to me a number ofambulances two hundred and ten in num ber and said ho had assisted at their capture aud Uut wlvon captured the horses belonging to said ambulances were hilched some to trocs and some to the roar of tho ambulances As I was then in tho employ of the United States it was my business to gather as much information in regard to military matters as possible and on my inquiry of Col Pickens if he thought theseambulances had been intended to be in the same bargain as the rifles he said I dont see what else they should have been intended for for they were just where 0u see them aud the horses hitched at you 6eo them while the fight was going on right here Presently some whiskey was handed round and wc all drank a toast toLittle Mac About the month of April the same year as I was going from Richmond to Mobile in company with Lieut Wiltz and Dr Knoed of Missouri and Dr Fontleroy of Virginia the two latter gentlemen being of rebel General Prices stall we met with Brig Gen Walson of Alabama Gou Watson said in my presence that then or atauy time after the war he could givesatisfactory proof that George B McClellan of the Federal army at the outbreak of the Rebellion and during thopreliminary arrangements for the organization of the Confederate army had offered his services to the ConfederateGovernment but that as the ConfederateGovernment had resolved to give rank in preference to officers formerly in the United Slates service according to seniority of rank thc could not give to McClellan what ho desired as other of ficers ranked him in seniority and that McClellan having been offomled at this then offered his services lo the United States In December 1862 I had occasion to call on Gov Shorter ol Alabama who was then sojourning at the Uunts ville llolel Huntsville Alabama Gov Shorter introduced me to Gen Watson who was present The Gen erahrecoguized me immediately And as tho Governor resumed a conversation with another person in tbe room I while in conversation with the General had occasion to refer to our triptoMobile and I purposely brought about the conversation in reference to GenMcClellan and General Watson reiterated the statement he had previously made in regard to Gen McClellan This is an astounding revelation The integrity of Mr Bourlier isvouched for by eminent men in Philadelphia and his statement is corroborated by numerous circumstances that go far to fortify the accuracy of the statement The same statement concludes with the following note in regard toVallaudigham and this too is corroborated bv numerous circumstances heretofore known iu relation to Vallandighams course of conduct while in Dixie Mr Bourlier says lr rcgird to Clement L Vallandig ham the Ohio traitor I will say that during his sojourn at Richmond he was repeatedly closeted with Jeff Davis James A Seddon the Rebel Secretary of War and Judah P Benjamin the Robel Secretary ol State During my visit to Richmond at that epoch 1 learned Irom reliable sources rebel officials that this Ohio traiior had pledged ins word to tlie reoe authorities that if the Democraticparty at the North succeeded in electing their caudidalo at the next Presidential oloolion ho would use all his influence tb obtain peace on the basis of arecognition of tho Confederate States as a separate and independent government Moreover during my stay atRichmond having called on Mr Benjamin the Secretary of State with a view to obtain an interview on business of a private character 1 I was told by anofficial iu attendance at the Department of State who pf course believed me to bo a loyal confederate that it wasuncertain
