Missouri (Missouri, United States) (search for this): article 13
s ample time to prepare such troops for effective service. Prolonged inactivity will finally discourage his zeal. The prospect of action must be ever present as an incentive. Inaction is the bane of the volunteer. These opinions I express with confidence, for I have had a large personal experience in the management of volunteer soldiers. The training of two distinct regiments during the Mexican war, with subsequent labors in Kansas, and the campaigns of the last spring and summer in Missouri, have given me a practical knowledge on this subject entitled to consideration. The regiments that fought and won the battle of Buena Vista were not as well provided as the Army of the Potomac, and not better drilled. Sir, I have witnessed the drill of that Army, and I am satisfied that it has reached the maximum of discipline attainable by volunteers, and that every day of inaction now tends to its demoralization. While, also, as regards discipline, we are as fully prepared for action a

ham Lincoln himself. In my opinion, the obtaining possession of those slaves by the Government would be more effective in crushing out the rebellion than the seizure, if it could be made, of every ounce of ammunition they possess. As the fear of losing their slaves is now the incentive to war, so would then the desire for their recovery be the inducement for peace.--March your armies into the heart of their Confederacy — win one victory — oppose kindness to cruelty, and as the peasantry of France rallied to the standard of Napoleon on his return from Elba, so will the slaves, with one impulse, flock to ours. The General who commands that army will be received with the same acclaim as was Bonaparte; they will hail him as their liberator and friend, and by their very numbers will secure safety to his army. No trouble, then, in obtaining information of the enemy's operations. Interested in our success — grateful as they will be faithful — every movement will instantly be reported, e

is impossible not to believe that they are by this time complete in arms, equipment, means of transportation, and every other physical appliance of service. Why, then, do they tarry? If Napoleon, with sixty thousand undisciplined recruits, scaling the frozen fastnesses of the Alps, and avoiding their hostile fortifications, could, in five weeks, reach the plains of Lombardy, pierce the Austrian lines, and annihilate the army of Melas, a hundred and twenty thousand strong, on the field of Marengo, thereby emancipating the whole of Italy, shall it be said that we cannot surmount the hills of Virginia and Kentucky, in spite of their defences, and, penetrating to the heart of the rebellion, strike in detail their armies — inferior to our own in numbers, arms, equipment, discipline and all that constitutes the true soldier, and stretched along a line of over two thousand miles in extent — destroying the heterogeneous hosts as we go, or scattering them in consternation, and restore to th

Wage this war for the purpose of crushing out rebellion, and let such as emanation from hell as the institution of slavery take care of itself. If it perishes, let it perish; and when we announce to the world that this institution has perished, Freedom will smile, and God will be pleased. We will take the words of a certain military order: "All loyal persons, without reference to color, sect, age, or size, who seek protection within our lines, must be treated kindly." With that for our motto, we believe that the institution will not survive the war, and that peace will be made permanent for our children, by the removal of the cause of the war. Mr. McDougal, (Opp.) of Cal., opposed the resolution, and protested against bringing a subjects not calculated to further the great interests of the country. Mr. Grimes, (Rep.) of Iowa, moved to lay the resolution on the table. The motion was agreed to.

t — destroying the heterogeneous hosts as we go, or scattering them in consternation, and restore to the rule of the republic those fair regions now cursed by a usurpation more intolerable than that of the Austrian, and which holds in bonds of terror even those wretched men who are committed to its support? Mr. President, to doubt our ability is disgraceful. Let it not be said that the snows of winter are upon us. If Washington could march his barefooted soldiers over the frozen roads of New Jersey, their footsteps marked with blood, and in the middle of winter cross the Delaware, filled with floating ice, can we not, at the same season, move our well clad legions towards the mild valleys of the South, to re-establish that freedom which their sufferings secured? Will you wait till spring, when the roads, if ever, will become impassable? or till our troops shall have been decimated by the diseases of summer? No. Clear this war of the doubts that surround its purpose; give to the vo

ch is necessary, so long as it is understood that this war is without a purpose. It is that of which we complain, that it is without a purpose, so that the minister of one of the first Governments on earth is obliged to declare "that it is for dominion on the one hand and power on the other. " Is there a Senator here but knows that if we had written upon our banners "Freedom," to-day we would have had a victory gained, and that instead of being threatened, with the armies and navies of Great Britain we should have the sympathy of that entire people? Wage this war for the purpose of crushing out rebellion, and let such as emanation from hell as the institution of slavery take care of itself. If it perishes, let it perish; and when we announce to the world that this institution has perished, Freedom will smile, and God will be pleased.

Mr. Lane said:--Mr. President, I do ning the Mexican war, with subsequent labors in Kansas, and the campaigns of the last spring and summs conquer — as at Dry Wood, where four hundred Kansas troops checked and drove back ten thousand rebare. Recently, at Spring river, eight hundred Kansas troops encountered six thousand rebels, covere country, after the speech of the Senator from Kansas, will be convinced that the President of the Uake is that he did not select the Senator from Kansas as that commander. It is very easy for brave military sense, according to the Senator from Kansas, is at least good common sense, that is, that the loyal men of the South.

giments from the North, in the excellence of their drill, far exceeded those from the States now in rebellion. Our opponents are formidable only when their individuality can be shown while fighting under cover — as at Manassas, Springfield, and Ball's Bluff. Operating in mass, on the open field, we can always conquer — as at Dry Wood, where four hundred Kansas troops checked and drove back ten thousand rebels; and of these facts the Confederates themselves are fully aware. Recently, at Spring river, eight hundred Kansas troops encountered six thousand rebels, covered by that stream and six miles of timber. This handful of heroic men offered a fight on the open prairie, which was declined by the enemy — either because they expected us to repeat the folly of attacking them in their timber stronghold, or feared a defeat without its protection. It will require on our part rapidity of movement and boldness of strategy to force them into a battle on the open field. So much for ineffici<
