XharidT K-rttlttS April 16, ltfS3. OfficiaJ Paper of the City. Ibrem float that standard sJuet Where breathes the foe but falls before hs With Freedom's soil beneath our feet, Attd Freedom's banner streaming o'er us I Arming the Negro. government has at last taken hold of this important work to earnest, we heard some time ago that Adj. Gen.

Thorn as made a speech at Cairo, declaring that ho'wa3 authorized bj the government to onzanite negroes into companies and regi meets, and pat them under the command of white officer. He alio made similar declarations at Helena, where the queatioi was proposed to the troops at review, and the proposition supported the men emphasizing their approval with pro longed and enthusiastic cheers. The army is emphatically in favor of the measure, as both necessary and expedient. This being 6o, what can the copperheads do about it In truth, we believe the country is indebted to same copperheads for a favorable decision on this question by the administration. They have made so much objection to the conscription law that, possibly, the government has thought best to look for men elsewhere, and there being no other or better source to seek for a supply of troops, it has been thus induced to invite the negro to take part in the war.

If this theory is correct, it may be said even copperheads are of some use, without designing to bo so, and that they have indireetly aided in causing the Blares to be armed. As a further evidence of the earnestness of the administration in pursuing this policy, we quote the following extract from a private letter to his father from Henry T. Wright, of city, who is now at Lake Providence. The letter is dated April 8th General Thomas reviewed the troops in this vicinity to-day. I was unable to attend on account of business, which I regretted but understood from persons who did attend that it was a Bplendid sight.

The. government has gone to work at last, arming the niggers, and applications for commissions in this branch of the service re coming in thick and fast. While a brigade in McArthurs Division were drawn up on review to-day, a call was made for who were in favor of arming tb, groea to take off their hats," and every hat in the brigade, with one or two exceptions, was instantly doffed. The sentiments of those really interested may thus be seen, sneaktng' copperheads to the contrary not withstanding. Is Janesville really disgra ed by any amount of these reproaches humanity How does the Monitor and its proprietors flourish I have not seen a Janesville paper for nearly two months, and am entirely in the dark about matters and things 'about town.

A. Ooo4 Report from the 34th Rgt- A correspondent of the Milwaukee Sen tinel, writing. from Fort Hallcck, Colum bus, under date of April 10th, gives most encouraging report from the 34th Wisconsin regiment. This is the drafted regiment, and we take pleasure in correcting the statement we havo ourselves published, that a large number of its men had deserted. The statement as to tho political change in the opinions of the regiment is confirmed by the vote of the members-eight companies giving Dixon li!) and Cothren 70 votes In your paper of the 6th, under the cap tion "Special to tho Chicago Journal' from i und the toilowing paragraph Thomas reviewed tho troops a bus yesterday.

Nearly one-half of the Wisconsin, nowm tliut place, deserted." Now, whether the correspond) of the Journal refern to desertions from the 1th. previous to its coming here, or not, I not ttiiow. mere is nothing in the sen tence quoted that conveys tuch a meauing. out me statement being in conjunction with the report of the review oi troops at this post by Gen. Thomas, appear like a semi official announcement of a recent and local jurrence.

Now for the facts. From our ival at Columbus, on the 2d of Febru ary, until tho present time, there not been a single case of desertion. The 3-1 th lurnished its quota or men tor all kinds service renuired of troons stationed here, and the men have perlormtd their willingly and cheerfully. So far, in deed, from there being a spirit of discontent rife in the regiraeut, it is now a common occurrence to hear men express them-aelveB to the eflVct that they are now fully awakened to the needs of the government, the justness of the cause, and their duly as and that tber are desirous ot proving that their patriotism is genuine, en il it is a late crop. The climate here seems to bo fatal to pperheada.

I could relate many inter-ting cases of conversion that have taken nee recently. Men who, two months r.go, uld not speak in terms bitter enough against tho policy of tho government with regard to the negroes, now express themselves wilting not only to 6ght with, but for them. In fact, the indications now are that colored troops will soon be the rage, UtORill URKAD UIOX'S. aha of Ptmtihtd Women IletplOf The Raleigh (N. Standard of March 25th gives an account of a bread riot that had just taken place near that city.

A company of women, most of them soldiera' wiveB, went to the store of William Welsh, at High Point, rolled out several barrels oi Tto Standard remarks on this occurrence Welsh is a great war man, and favorj general ltuproun. ment of supplies by the army." The same paper gives particulars of other riots, and referring to them editorially exclaims: "Bread riots have commenced, and where they wilt end God only know." A letter is copied by the Standard from another North Carolina paper, giving an account of another riotous outbreak of the women at Salisbury, in that state, a place with which some of our soldiers have be come acquainted. The later is dated March 19tb, aud says: There was a mob raised here yesterday, consisting mostly of soldiers' wives, and led on by huncer, I suppose, and hatred against speculators, iney armed tbi selves with hatchets, and congregated at tne aenot tor the purpose ot breauine if necessary, and getting some flour stowed away by some speculator.

At tnis, a large, stalwart woman made at him with a hatch et. He backed, and they rolled out ten b.trrels of flour owned by a man in Charlotte, and had it hauled up. Subsequently, they appropriated several bags of flour belonging to private parties.

Mrs. Bintliff: Dear Madam Supposing it may be gratitying to hear irom your nusoano, i drop you aline.

The rumor started here that there had been skirmishing at Fairfax Court House not true, New Yosk, April 16. Jeff Davis has issued an address to the )ople of the southern confederacy urging them to devote their agricultural labor to the production of food.

He says that tho' soldiers are on half rations of meat, there plenty of it in the confederacy, but that ifficulty exists in its transportation which now about to be remedied, The address contains the following paragraph To oppose the invading forces composed of levies which have already exceeded 1,300,000 men, we had no resources but the unconquerable valor of a people determined to be free, and were bo destitute of military supplies that tens of thousands of our citizens were reluctantly rofused admission into the service, from our inability to furnish arms, while tcr many months continuance some of our strongholds owed their safety chiefly to a careful concealment of the fact that we were without a supply of powder on. lour devotion and patri otism have triumphed over all these obsta cles, and called into exiateuce munitions of war, ciotning ana sustenance, which have enabled our soldiers to illustrate their valor numerous battle fields ana to inflict ushing defeata on successive armies, each of which our arrogant foe fondly imagined aui aud our preaeut condition ia well cal-ulated to inspire full confidence in the tri- mph of our arms.

Seven of our gunboats Bbelled the rebels, compelling them to abandon them and tneir signal tower on tne burg railroad.

Another skirmish afternoon ensued, On the morning of the 14th the rebel artillery opened trom tne direction ot Horn- ertown. Our forts responded and the mv changed position. The firing lasted hour when the rebels fell back a mile, but again advanced and the firing on both sides wa3 renewed and did not cease till ten o'clock. None of our side were killed or seriously wounded. We drove the enemy to the woods.

It is announced on high authority that the enrollment and conscription will be enforced. i Svi4B has bew tUt the i I never supposed I could endure, I have reached this place, over which the stars and stripes wave, thank God. We were cap. tured Wednesday morning, March 25tb.

The long roll beat just as I was going to breakfast, and A was the first one in the tent to understand its meaning. I shouted, 14 We are attacked," and sprang for my gnn and equipments, being the first one in the ranks from our squad. The various companies were detached and deployed as skirmishers. Pretty soon we saw rebel cavalry riding and stretching over the hills on all sides. Cur wagons loaded with our knapsacks started for Nashville, but were driven back.

The battle opened on the right of our company. It was sharply contested for about fifteen minutes. The bul lets whistled about my ears like bail. Soon a cannon ball whizzed by up the road from Nashville then we knew all was lost, for what was the use of 350 infantry contending against a large cavalry force and a battery The white flag was run up and we surrendered. Then commenced a scene of pillage by the rebels, who were 3,000 strong under Gens.

Forrest and Armstrong. They started us off on a bock road, and marched us three days and nights, giving us a piece of hoe cake two inches square, and about the same quantity of meat each day. I stole ears of corn from the horses, and ate the corn raw. I never was as weak from starvation in my life. We forded rivers up to our arm-pits in water.

They stripped us of our overcoats and blankets, and we had to stamp all night to keep from freezing to death. Oh I what did they not do that was inhuman Finally, we reached their railroad, at Tullahoma, and were sent in freight cars to Richmond, where we stayed igbt in prison. Ihen we were paroled and sent to City Point, and got aboard one our boats and was brought here. PROCTOR D. SCOFIELD.

Annapolis, April 10, 18G2. Thank God we are once more on our own soil. We arrived here about 10 o'clock, all safe and sound. I dou't kuow how long we shall stay. I will relate our adventures when I get home, which I hope will bo I hav'nt time or paper to write par ticnlars.

The rebels took everything from and we havn't money to buy more. We will probably remain here a few days, and then be sent to Madison, which be almost as good as home. I have the elephant," and if I ever have the good luck to be called back into the field again, I will never lay down ray arms again till the rebels are all wiped from the face of earth, if it takes twenty years. I will write again as soon as I can get a piece of paper, and let yon know about answering. ALBERT ALDEN.

Annapolis, March 12. When we arrived here we were covered with dirt, but we have got Dew clothes throughout, have had a good wash, and have Vhvown our old ciotbtnrfr'awKyr almost starved us. We sold every thing we conld to get something to eat. I sold needles for fifty cents a dozen, and paid a dollar for a turnover," a dollar for a five cent loaf of bread, five dollars for a ilfty cent knife, a dollar and fifty cents for a meal of bacon, corn-broad and coffee. The rebels are almost starved out.

That is the reason why they cannot keep our prisoners. We expect to leave here for imp Chase, Ohio. Tell Mr. Burgess that Gage is well, in the Libby prison, Richmond. The Captain and Keetey are there too, but the privates are here.

I have learnt a great deal the past three weeks. I have found out that the rebels can't hold out much longer. R. W. KING.

AjtSAFOLis, April 11. Dear Wife a silence of two weeks or over, I am seated to write to you again. I feel that it is through the providence of God that I am ppared. I do not know as 1 can give you a description of what I have passed through since I warf taken prisoner, but I have seen the hardest time that I ever did, and am thankful that I am out of the rebels' clutches so soon. We were in their hands 16 days, and the first three days we did not get as much to est as we ought to have had for one day, and they marched us day and night but it is past now, and I am alive and well, with the exception of a bad cold.

I had everything taken from me but my dress coat, pants, shirt and boots. The rebels took everything we had, even to our overcoats and blankets, and some of the boys lost their boots. The rebels cocked their guns and told the boys to take tbeir boois off. OnB man belonging to the 19th Michigan regiment waB unable to keep up with the rest, and the devils shot him. We were hurried through to Richmond, and kept in prison one day and night.

We were then paroled and started for our lines, and a bappi-er set of men you never saw. It is reported that paroled prisoners are Bent to their respective states until they ire exchanged, and not knowing bow long we shall stay here yon had better not write until you hear from me again. The weather here is about like April weather in Wisconsin, pretty cold to sleep on the ground without overcoats and blankets, after marching through rivers and creeks. As I am writing under great disadvantages I will leave the rest to tell you when I get home. I will write as soon as I find out where we are going.
