((El)kago tribune. FRIDAY, MAY 1, m RIGHT AT LAST. The quick, prompt, neccssaiy and emi nently praiseworthy action of Gen. Burn- Side, in suppressing manifestations of trea son in bis important Department, is a suf ficient guaranty that tho war is entering upon a new phase, and that the earnest ness with which it is waged will take cog nizance of blatant and mischievous ene mies at home as well as of armed enemies 5u the field.. The new order of things is not inaugurated a moment too soon. The impunity with which disloyalty has talked and written, has taught it that it may aa safdy act; and the affair in Union county, an our own State, that outbreak in Indiana, the plotting in Kentucky and Missouri, and the bold attempts to foment discord and opposition everywhere, are the first fruits of the teaching. Trea son has gone from words to deeds; and the Government has now Ho option—it must crush or be crushed. Good men, not accustomed to wait the tardy motions of the authorities, began to fear that the resolution to defend itself Would not be formed until too late, that the Government would be wrecked, and that anarchy would ensue. They believed, f}B we and cveiy other man of sense and reading believes, that the authority was Hot lacking; that the Constitutional war rant for action was sufficient, that the mili jaiy power was ample, and that tho neces sity was imminent; but beholding what the traitors cared not to conceal, they tumbled lest the golden moment should fie let slip, and prompt and energetic measures deferred until & resort to them would be nothing but the precursor of blood. Happily they are relieved. Tho just policy has been adopted at last; and jjow if only followed up by a series of energetic blows which will not only alarm but hurt those against whom they are directed, the victory will becomplete; and loyal men and patriots may go on with their work of putting this infamous re bellion down, without the fear that what they do to-day will he undone by treason to-morrow; that their appeals for unity, that their country and freedom maybe saved, will be silenced by the clam or of their neighbors for discord, that re bellion and slavery may triumph; and that the sacrifices—the money, the tears and the blood—that war brings in its train, may go for naught, because a few are disloyal, and the government hesitating and timid. "We arc coming back to the ground from which the Administration ought never to have been driven; and wo be unto our rulers, if, having dared to exercise the power which the Constitution and the un written hut universally acknowledged rules of war repose in their hands, they look back or turn aside in the path upon which they have entered- Their way is now on ward, over every obstacle, except those that the Constitution has set up in their way. Their field is not only in the Border States, but everywhere that treason has made a lodgment, and the subjects of their justice are not only the carriers of rebel mails, the spies jesident among ns who make these mails up, and the recruiting sergeants whose labor it is to swell the rebel ranks, but that whole tribe of scoun drels, who, garnishing their conversation and their deeds with empty professions of loyalty, make treason and its success the objects of their incessant labor. There is hardly a village in Illinois in which sub jects for Burnside may not be found. That he will, while showing a bold front to the enemy before him, have an eye upon the meaner and more cowardly foe that keeps tip the fire in the rear, is a necessity, atten tion to which he cannot forego I THE UNFAILING BUIdE* Ibis no unwarranted use of language when we say that the man who charges that there is any evidence of a design on the part of the Government to abridge the liberties of this people, or to impair the institutions under which we live, is a ma lignant who lacks either the courage or the opportunity to become an assassin of the country that he assumes to defend. Tills Jact is so notorious that it may be set down «s a certainty that he who makes such a Charge is in the daily practice of what he knows is treasonable, or has a record that is blotched all over with disloyalty. The rule never has failed, and until the Govern ment changes its policy and plays the ty rant’s part, it never will fail! 'J TTI.T JJIL4K WAR IN THE NORTH. The mistaken zeal with which a leading faction of the Copperheads in this State and in Indiana are pushing their hostility to the Government, can have but one re sult: It will inaugurate civil war in the North. And when we go over the names Of the most prominent and influential ot the plotters who are earning infamy by their acts; when we see how many of them BTC of Southern birth, living North only to find the bread which the slave Slates de fied them; how many of them are men of broken and desperate fortunes, to whom any change would be for the better, and bow many are nothing hut politicians out Of place, hence out of bread; and when we Sec the malignity, the unscrupulous false hood, and the diabolical hate which they use as weapons of attack, we are not sure that war, which yfrnJl arm friend against friend, neighbor against neighbor, and set father and son to Clutching wildly at each other’s throats, is ®ot just what they intend. Nay, if we take the words of one of them—one of the most malignant and treasonable of them all— Who, at Springfield, just at the opening of Ihe session of the Legislature, exclaimed in B paroxysm of drunken triumph, “The 14 revolution is inaugurated, and nothing ** can stop it, by !” as an index of what his associates mean, we shall have proof positive that they do not intend to stay their hands until the boast made long ago, •* that an attempt to coerce the South with “ an Abolition army from the North, would “cause the streets of Chicago to run red “with blood,” is realized, and until the Whole West, like Kentucky, Missouri and parts of Tennessee, is made the theater of fierce and relentless strife, Men of Illinois! do you ask such a re sult ? Is peace at home, with its blessings Of security, prosperity and perpetual ad vancement, worth nothing ? Arc the pre tended rights of less than four hundred thousand dealers in flesh and blood so dear to you that your farms shall ho turned to waste, your hearth-stones wet with, gore, your houses given to the flames, and the sources of your prosperity, security and happiness dried up, to the end that man gelling may prosper, and that a few ruf fians who have nothing to lose, and a handful of politicians who have everything to gain, may have their way, though the country die? We do not believe it; yet to just this consummation arc the Copper heads driving. Can we suppose that they tncon anything else when they threaten re sistance—resistance with arms—to the Con scription Act, to the Tax Law, to the return of deserters, and to the arrest and punishment of domestic traitors? They cannot believe that the Government will recede, or that the majority of the people Will he turned from their purpose. Then why these appeals that come with such frequency, to set Government and people, at defiance? -Why, but to provoke in the North thatdesolation that is overspreading And ruining the South ? We exhort our readers, especially such Of them as arc attached by old association, Or by present misrepresentation, to the falsely called Democratic party, to watch those who have assumed the leadership of that party; to fathom, if possible, their bidden, purposes; to weigh the measures that they have adopted; and to see where paid what is the outcome of their endeav ors. - Few men among ns desire a new civil War, or an the one which is. now raging, into the principal rpgions .of the North. Unquestionably the masses of the people of all parties whatever their views of the origin) or the necessity of the present conflict, loyally hope and would willing ly work for the subjugation of the South But the loyal many, trusting themselves to theguidanco of tho disloyal few, may bo betrayed. In the Democratic party they are betrayed. The leaders are un sound, and treacherous; and despite their pretences of good faith and pure patriotism, their cries for peace arc only the evidences of their mania for more war; and their as sumed horror of blood is nothing but the falsehood which covers their raging thirst for still other streams of blood to flow. They mean to inaugurate the conflict right here in the North. Treason like theirs can have no other purpose. Shall they be grat ified ? Men of the Northwest, it is for you , to answer I COPPERHEADS ON CONSCRIPTS. The Copperheads arc trying to make capital for their party out of the reported seizure and handcuffing of certain Detroit conscripts who resisted the authorities after they were fairly drafted. These hypocritical traitors pretend to have tho prefoundest sympathy with the cowardly conscripts, who claim to be Americans, and are so eager to get all they can out of the Republic, and so unwilling to do any thing for her in return, and think it so hard that they should be called upon to strike a blow, even, for her defence. It is all of a-picce with the villainy of the Cop perhead proceedings, from the first out break of the war, and In accordance with what awhile ago was their open and avow ed hostility to the Conscription Act, which they hate as hard as ever, although the Government has stopped their blowing against it, and choked them off its own throat by the iron grip of the law. Finding that they can no longer tear .the Government with their ferocious teeth, nor oppose the operation of the Conscript Act with impunity, they rub their eyes with onions and weep crocodile tears over the hapless fate of those who are compelled by the draft to leave their homes and go to the war in order that they may save their homes! For if the rebels are victorious over the Union arms there will he no homes left on this continent for loyal men. This is apart of tho picture which the Cqppcr heads don’t care to present to the poor con scripts. All they care,about is to embar rass tbe Government, that the rebels may be victorious, and as for the conscripts and their homes, they may rot together or apart, as the fates may determine, fur any thing they mean or ever intended, to do to prevent the mischiefl In the meanwhile they want votes for their party, and think they can he pretty sure of getting them if they make lachry mose faces, and a show of sympathetic blubbering over the hard lot of the men drafted for the war. But they may carry even this game too far, and find the law which they have so long ridiculed, as im potent, quite strong enough to checkmate and punish them. The resistance which the Detroit con scripts made to the Federal officers was instigated by them, and they have tried to foment a similar rebellion in various other parts of the Union, although they have been compelled to feel their way and crawl clandestinely on their bellies to get their dirty work accomplished. Let them take heed, however ; for the Provost Marshals willsurelybe foul of them before long; and we would advise the next batch of dastards who may be inclined to resist the law at their bidding, to pause awliile, and try to measure the length of “ Old Abe's” arm. If they don’t want to be sent over to the rebels, and have their homes confiscated to the State, they had better tell “Father Abraham” that they’re coming straight along, and mind that they' keep their word. [cctlngr <>r flic Union Men or tlic The Union Leagues throughout the loyal States have called a National Convention of the League, to be held In Cleveland, Ohio, on the 20th of May next. The Convention will consist of delegates from every Congressional district, who will be selected from the most prominent and influential ol the Union men. The object of the convention i* to take mea sures to perfect and harmonize the organiza tion of the League; and to strengthen and aid the Government in suppressing the slavehold ers’ rebellion. The Cleveland leader announces that ifc lias been decided to call a grand gathering of the Union men of the Northwestern States, to be held in that city at the same time with the above convention, for the purpose of de nouncing, in the most emphatic manner, by an imposing demonstration, the charges of the home traitors, that the great Northwest sympathizes in the slightest degree with the rebels in their efforts to dissolve the Union; and also for the purpose of assuring the world of the unalterable determination of the peo ple of tho West that no foreign power shall control great outlet, the Mississippi Elver. Invitations have "been extended to Major Gen. Bntler, Major General Fremont, Daniel 8. Dickinson, Secretary Chase, Postmaster General Blair, Governor Tates, Jndge Trum bull, Governor Morton, B. F. Wade, John A. Bingham, John Van Baren, E. B. Wash burn, John Sherman, Charles Sumner, James M. Ashley, Owen Lovejoy, Henry C.

The Aemy Rkcbuitisq Itself.— The Cin cinnati Times says that the effective force of the sth Ohio Infantry has been Increased by the return of prisoners, sick and stragglers, until it now numbers 500 men, its strength having been as low at one time as 100. The Commercial hearsfrom otherveterau regiments tbe same sort of good news. Many of them muster more men now than they did a year ago. And the regiments raised last summer have also been rapidly strengthened within the past two or three months, the men be coming used to camp life, healthyand in good spirits. Regiments that last winter had but three or four hundred men fit for service, have now twice that number. These are facts that arc in the highest degree important and gratifying.

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE. fSpoclal Correspondence of the Chicago Tribune.] Washington, April 53,1863. ROMANCE OP WAR. In the recent reconnolssance by Gen. SUne man, at Kclly’p Ford, the advance, led by Lieut. Payne, of the Ist Maine cavalry, was captured. Being anxious to gut the prisoners out of the way of our advancing forces, the rebels hurried them to the rear. ‘While cross ing a deep and rapid stream, swollen by the recent rains, the rebel officer, Lieut. Henry, was swept from his horse. Noneofhla own men seemed to pay any attention to his cries for help. Lieut. Payne leaped from his horse, and by great exertions succeeded in saving the life of his captor. Gen, Lee, hearing of the truly chivalrous act, wrote to Gen. Winder, Provost Marshal at Richmond, and upon Lieut. Payne’s arrival there, ho was at once released without parole, promise or condition of any kind. He arrived here on Saturday, and, strange to tell, ho learned that during his trip to Dixie, Lieut. Henry, whoso life he had saved, had been taken prisoner, and was at the old Capitol prison. COPPERHEADS. The heavy coinage of “nickels” still con tinues, the number last week made at the mint in Philadelphia being 63,000. When tho people who are hoarding them discover that they have no intrinsic value over thirty-seven or forty cents a pound, and that they are a legal tender for amounts less than fifty cents only, they will let the coppers loose in such loads as to make them a nuisance. SPECIAL POST OPTICS AGENT. Victor A. Pepin,Esq., has recently been ap pointed a special agent at large for tho Post Office Department. Mr. Pepin was formerly connected with a banking institution at New Albany, Indiana. NOTICE 70 OFFICERS.

Gen, Tureliin Among the Soldier*. Camp neaii Murfreesboro, Tcnn., J April 25tb, 186 J. J Editors Chicago Tribune: A few days ago Gen. Turchin and staff visit ed the late battle grounds of Stone Blver, and as we reached the spot where the soldiers of the Union battled eo nobly against the rebel hosts, feelings of a character, such as! am un able to describe well nigh choked my utter ance. The battle field of Stone River is to me a sacred, as well as a terrible spot, and while gazing over the broad field, what horrid real ities are brought to mind! Here the sinew of this fair republic met itsarmcdfoes,andmany of our sons, brothers, and sires freely yielded up their lives that this, our Government and its principles, mightbeperpetuated. To-day, where but a few short weeks ago thelifeblood of the hero martyrs dyed the sod, the grass is green and the wild flowers of Sx>ring are in blossom. As far as the eye can reach over this vast battle ground you can see here and there the graves of the hero dead; the killed of each regiment being bur ied, as far as it was found possible, together, near some large tree; a headboard, with the name of ihe deceased upon it, was placed at ea< h gmve, thesideof the tree was then hewed off, and the inscription engraved upon it: “ Here sleep the brave of the regiment.” These grave yards can be found for miles around the battle field. Here upon our right is where the rebel horde forced back onr devoted troop? I Here is where the glo rious stars and stripes seemed trailing in the dust when the God ol nations bidlt nsa. It arose! It stood; it advanced; it was saved. God be praised. Many brave hearts will be stilled in death, but their memory will be ever • green, aud their sacrifices will bo recorded in history. It is now the opinion of some of our best generals, (Gen. Turchin among the num ber,) that had our line of battle been as short on the first day of the battle as it was on the last, the enemy would have been sooner de ■ feated. , . , Gen. Turchin things the ground occuplci by ibe ctjcmy admirable, they having formed their line of battle mid dense thickets of cedar, nnd having erected numerous Held works on com lauding positions, while our meu had to, in some instances, light in the open field. The Gei.cral also remarked that "when General McCook was driven back on the right by the enemy, that could they have taken advantage of their success, properly, they would, id his opinion, have bad the nin'y of the uumberlaud at their mercy. Our right being driven back in confusion by overwhelming numbers exposed the right iiunkof the centre, which was, at the same time, bui-y in the front. Had the rebel Gen* mils seized the opportunity, ceased their pur suing McCook, hurled their forces upou the . rigid fiank of the centre before McCook could re-orgnnizc, and made a desperate effort in front, the army of the Cumberland must have been defeated and mined. The blunder or inability of the enemy in I not taking advantage of their partial success, the genius of the commanding General, and ' the indomitable perseverance of our troops under difficulties, saved ns from destruction. Our visit to the battle-field will not soon be , forgotten by us. tipon the morning and afternoon of April 23d there was held a grand review of Gen. Ncgley’s division. Major Generals Rosccrans, Thomas, Rossean, and BrigadiersTurchin and Garfield were present. The review passed off admirably, and the condition in which the commanding General found the meu pleased him very much. Gen. Neeley has reasons to he proud of his division. It was ever among the bravest at Stono River, and it is freely acknowledged by all military men to be one of the best drilled and best disciplined divisions in the Department of the Cumberland. In his division is the gallant 39th Illinois and 18th Ohio, who were in the famous Bth brigade, led by Col. Turchin through a portion of Alabama. On the re view, Gen. Rosecrans complimented the 19th very highly, and did them tho honor of using their banner for tho review colors. The precision of their movements was generally remarked by military men. The ammunition train was under the com mand of Capt. Jag. R. Hayden, of Chicago, ordnance officer on Gen Neglev s staff Chicago has reason to be proud of hersous! Gen. Turchin has been assigned to a com mand of cavalry. In tho absence of Major General T. a. Stanley, Gen. Turchin assumes the responsibilities of Chief of Cavalry, De partment of the Cumberland. It is not understood whether this command is to be permanent or not. The army is glad that Gen. Turchin has been placed in command of cavalry, because his blows can now be quick and unexpected by the enemy. It Is currently reported that the forces sent on an expedition to McMinnville have been successful, they having captured tho place, destroyed two trains ol cars, and taken 'considerable army stores. Whether this is only a rumor I cannot sav. The army has received the news of the election of a great portion of the Copperhead ticket in Chicago. It has struck a chill to our hearts. While we are enduring the trials and privations ol a soldier’s life, risking our all for this Government, unarmed traitors at | home arc aiding the enemy by whom we suf ! ftr, in their nefarious schemes.

April 31th, 1863. Editors Chicago Tribnae: I see by your paper of the 4th instwhat purports to be a map (which, by the way, U a Tcry correct one) and history of what is termed by your correspondent, “ The Steele’s B.iyou Expedition,” which, however, was in an expedition to “Rolling Fork,” under the general superintendence, as well as per sonal inspection, of that brave, efficient and far seeing General, W.

But In that history I see no proper mention made of the part the 113 th Illinois Volunteers and the 13th United States Infantry took in tills expedition; and while Ido not propose to write the history of the same, or detract from any officer, whether it is Lieut.

Wasihxqtov, April 37,1863. ’ Advance copies ot the three volumes of tho report and evidence taken before the Com mittee on the Conduct of tho War, have just been famished to the various correspondents of the Press. These volumes make In the aggregate, 1,933 Urge octavo pages. QTho first volume, bound, will be delivered to the House to-day, and the remaining vol- nmes in a short time. , Over fifteen working days have elapsed since tho copy was famished to the Superin tendent of tbe Public Printing. This added to the immense current work executed for all the Departments, meantime, will give some idea of the facility with which work is per- formed In the Government Printing Office. The third volume embraces testimony taken upon tho following subjects: Hatteras Inlet Expedition, Port Royal Expedition, Burnside Expedition, Fort Donelson, etc., Capture of New Orleans, Invasion of New Mexico, Acco mac Expedition, Battle of Winchester, March 23d, 1863, Monitor and Mcrrimac, Protecting Rebel Property, Rebel Barbarities, Wonnded from Front Royal, Va.; Convalescent Camp, Alexandria, Ta.; Trade in Military Districts, Communicating Countersigns, Returning Slaves, etc. Capt. Williams, Brigade Commissary in Gen. Blonkeris division, said, In answer to the question as regards sobriety, &c; “I think there must be in that division not less than 15, and probably a» many as 25 estab lishments ■where they sell liquor, lager beer especially; and they all have whisky that they sell privately at the same stands. Bat lager beer is the principal article they deal lu; that they deal out in great abundance. It is all over the division. 1 do not think there is a tent in the division bat what has more or less of it. All the sutlers keep it, and all the stands are crowded all the while. I think it safe to say that yon can go there any day in the week and find, on an average, 500 men in that division who you would say were unfit for duty-drunk enough to put the whole division to 'flight on the field of battle. 1 know of no remedy in the world that yon can devise, except to cut off liquor from offi cers and all; or to break up the division, separate the brigades, and put them in other divisions with good commanders. If you were to separate them and put them la other divisions with good commanders— good sober officers—l think they would make rood soldiers. The soldiers are all Germans. ;' do not think there are one hundred Ameri- cans in the whole division.” The above are two of the most remarkable cases of excessive drinking, but it would bo unfair to Judge, by them, the morals of the army. Since the testimony was taken, more than a year ago, the liquor supplies have to a very considerable extent been abridged. It appears by the testimony of Major Gen. Benjamin F. Butler, (Feb. 2,1803,) that eleven days before Major Gen. N. P. Banks left New York, it was known in New Orleans that the former was to be superseded by him', and a bet of “one hundred to ten dollars” was made in a “ Secesli Club Boom ” that within twenty days Gen, Butler would be relieved by Gen. Banks. Gen. Wcitzel’s scouts brought in the same news from the Tcche, and a ‘‘drunken broker,” whom Gen. Bailor had put on Ship Island for “ three months,” and who had served otil his time there, came to Geo. Ship ley, as early as that day, and boasted of the fact of “Gen. Butler being superseded by Gen. Banks.” Question by the Committee to Gen. Butler —Have you any means of knowing the cause of your removal? A. —I have no knowledge; I have asked everybody I have seen in Washington what I was removed for, and nobody has been able to tell me. Lieut. Col. Frank S. [Fiskc, of the 2d New Hampshire regiment, testified that he was in formed bv a staff officer, about the Bth of February, 18G2, that the enemy had cried out i he countersign across the Pofomac River be fore our pickets hud received it. The coun tersign was “Chippeway.” This was the ray when the Pensecola was expected down. The supposed reason given for it was that It might have been taken from the telegraph wire. “ The information was telegraphed down to our division ‘ that the Pensacola would come down that night.’ What the rebels cried out was, ‘The Pensacolaiscomiugdownto-night, isn't she? D—n her Iwe arc ready for her! We have got your countersign—Chippeway.’ ” The witness said he had no o her theory by which to explain how the enemy obtained the countersign. During the examination as to the engage ment between the Monitor aud the Mcrrimac, Capt. G. V. Fox, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, having been asked the question: Did it ever occur to the Navy or War De partments before the Merritnac was prepared, to bee whether it was not well enough to take Norfolk, shipping and all ? ✓ A.—The matter of taking Norfolk nas been talked over a great deal. The movement of Gen. Butler to take Newport News was in ref erence to the ultimate possession of Norfolk. The President, at that time, was very much in favor of it, and it was believed that it could have been done then without any difficulty. I think there is a memorandum here from Gen. Butler, dated some time In the latter part of May, when he was down there, setting forth the feasibility of capturing Norfolk. Q. —How came that to fall through ? A.—Thatl could not say; the matter was presented to Lieutenant General Scott; I can give yonmy impression about it. Q. —Do so, if yon please? A. —Mvimpression is that the panic in re gard to Washington, that occurred after the battle of Bull Run, blocked this enterprise, a a it seemed to block every other enterprise that was proposed elsewhere. Gen. Butler had at one time got as high as 11,000 men down there, and they were still sending troops to him until this ‘panic 1 here, when they were all taken from him except some 4,000 or 6,0G0 men. Q.—The ghost of Bull Run was in the way. A.—Yes, Sir, and it also put off Dupont’s expedition for two or three months. Wc could get no soldier* after that for any of our expeditions.

Xlic Bctoroin? ••Two Years Men.” [From the Now York Times, Monday.] Two of the regiments of New York two vear volunteers were mustered out of General Hooker’s army on Thursday last, and one of them (the Bth New York, or Ist German Ri fles,) will probably arrive in this city tfr-day. Other of these regiments will continue to ar rive every few days, until the 17th of June,’ when the last of them will be mustered out of the service. As is generally known, the first thirty-eight regiments from this State volun teered for two years; one of these—the 11th, or Ist Fire Zouaves—was mustered out of tho service nearly a year ago; of the remaining thirty seven, eighteen belong to this city. Some people are afraid that the return of these regiments will so weaken Hooker's army as to make speedy operations impossi ble* This is not so. We do not suppose that m the whole of the returning thirty-seven New York regiments, there arc now more than between ten and twelve thousand men— and even these will not all bo taken from Hooker’s army; and as an official report, pub lished by authority the other day, magnani mously informed the rebels andns that Rook er had a strength of 159,328 men, it will be seen that the loss of the two years’ regiments ought not to furnish an excuse for inaction. Beside the two-year men of this State, there are also some regiments with tho same term from Pennsylvania, but their number is small. gentleman who recently escaped from East Tennessee says that the rebels are so enraged at the loyal citizens, that they fre quently shoot them down while cutting wood or plowing. Tho approach of rebel cavalry is the signal for a general flight to the woods. The Union men -hide by hundreds In caves, thickets and ravines.— Nashville Union, . Good Catch.—The Toledo Blade x of Sat urday. Bays: “ Blxly tons of catfish were taken from lines in the river near this city, yesterday. The catch of Thursday and. Fri day amounted to otcc 100 tons.** SPEECH OF GEBRIT SMTH. Standby the Gorcrnment, Hon. Gcrrt Smith recently delivered a speech before a large audience la Albany on the necessity of standing by the Government, and helping it to put down the rebellion. We mp find space for only the following extracts, but they will repay perusal. He makes some strong points: tub pbesidest’s pboclamatiow justified. «• I pass to the wrong which those abolition ists commit, who conSemu the President for not proclaiming freedom to all the slaves, and also to the wrong which those Democrats commit, who condemn him for proclaiming it to any. Now, the truth on the one band is, that the President has no right to abolish sla very, except as Commander-in Chief, and no right even in that capacity to abelian it any further or faster than the military necessities of the country for. The truth on the other hand Isfthat ho has the right to abolish any and all slavery, the abolition of which is called for by such necessities. In Ws “J?. 11 criticised, much condemned and much ridi culed letter to Horace Greomy. the Prealdciit laid down the true doctrine In this case. If it would help ns in the war to call .o our eide ihe slaves of South Carolina, then the Fresl dent should call them. If it would not help ns to call those of North ehould not call. In nothing of a J this has he aught to do with the morality of slavery. I grant that If the slaves will not come, it is useless to call them; and lam aware that it is very frequently and confidently asserted that their love of their masters and mistresses Is to great to permit them to came. If, how ever, they will come, then by all means they should be called—and this too, even if they should, as it is said they would, prove too lazy to work where there are no whips to work under; and even if they should, as it is said they would, prove too cowardly to fight. For where they are their toil sustains the re bellion. I claim not to know whether the slaves will come to our standard—or whether, if 'hey should come, they will either work or figh*. Bnt I do claim that, inasmuch as there is a chance, be it however small, that they will come, and a chance, be it however small, that they will work, and a chance, be it however small That they will fight, the President’s Pro clamation of Freedom is justified. For what if it shall turn out that the slaves are able to 'tear themselves away from their dear masters and mistresses I TVhat an immense advantage : to our cause iwill that be; and even though they shall prove unable or unwilling to ren der us any service after coming to us ? And what if it shall turn out that they are willing to work on our side, and to work as faithfully as did that handful of escaped and deserted slaves, who, instead ot being, as was all along alleged, a charge upon the National Treasury, put into it, over and above wages and expen ses, between five and six hundred thousand dollars—then will this immense advantage be doubled. And then, a still greater advantage to our cause, if they shall be willing to fight for it, and our officers and soldiers tu.il! be so earnestly patriotic as to let them fight for It. For I know not why, if they shall be willing to fight for us, they shall not fight with as signal bravery and effectiveness as did the ne groes In both of our wars with Great Britain, Whether our officers and soldiers will be so ! much in earnest to put dowu the rebellion as to let the despised negroes help put it down, i remains to be seen. If entirely in earnest, • they should welcome the aid not only of the , negroes and Indians, but of even the devil r himself. I repeat that I know not whether the slaves will come to us, or whether, if they do, they will work or fight. They are called the most patient and forgiving of all the races. They will certainly prove that they are, if they can forget that monstrous and meanest crime of Idling the thousands, who toiled on the Vickfliurg cut off, fall again into the hands of the vindictive slaveholders; and if they can also forget the innumerable instances in which slaves coming to our lines, some with very valuable news of the designs and movements of the enemy, and all with hearts and hands to help us, have with Satanic malignity been returned to the fate from which they had fled; and if, in a word, they cau forget our persist ent ridicule, loathing and murderous hate of a people who have done not one wrong in re turn for the mountains of wrong under which we have buried them. It is true that even such a people may at last be goaded tore* vengeful and bloody insurrections. Not, how ever, if they can bare a way of escape from their oppressors. The President’s Proclama tion is the safety-valve. One of my chief rea sons for welcoming it was that it would prob ably prevent servile insurrections. I'spokc of the blacks cumins to our side. Let me not be misunderstood. "The abolition of slavery will not send the Southern blacKs to the North, bnt it will scud the Northern blacks to the South. A genial climate, and, still more, masses of their race will attract them thither.' They, who seek to make the white laborer of the North jealous of aboli tion, do so cither very ignorantly or very dis ingenuously. And there is still another complaint which I have to make. It is the injustice and insult to the President of which they are guilty, who charge him with turning the war into an abo lition war. He solemnly declares that his sole end is to put down the rebellion; and that whatever he does wlh slavery la done but incidentally and but to that sole end. What if the President, having taken it into his head that one of the most effective things which could be done toward prostrating the rebellion is to free the cotton from the tena cious grasp of the Confederate Government, should be multiplying endeavors to that end 7 Would it bo lair to charge him with pervert ing'he war into a war to free the cottou ? I deliberately affirm that it would be quite as fair as to chaigu him with perverting it into a war to free the slave. Let ns all be just to the President. To be unjust to him is not only to wrong him, but to wrong and per haps ruin the country. Democrats I there are some who accuse you of opposing the Presi dent’s Proclamation because you would per vert the war Into a war for slavery. Are yon not indignant at theaccusatlon ? Surely, you should be. For nothing in all the history of man could be more revolting than such a per version of a just war, and such a betrayal of a righteous cause. Great Is the wickedness of a slaveholding people who make war for slavery. But the wanton and unmitigated wickedness of a non-slareholding people, who would join them, would be infinitely greater. 1 must bring my speech io a close. Do you wonder that!, so old and radical an Aboli tionist, have expressed in it no concern about slavery ? I could not express what I did not feel. Since the bombarding of Sumter, I have felt no concern about slavery—for I could not doubt that it was the effectual bombarding of slavery. As the war has advanced, I have been increasingly confident that the people would never consent to re-establish the cause of all this blood and horror and desolation. As I have seen the plowshare of war pass through slavery, I have felt more and more that the time for the abomination to pass away had come. And now have wc signs that the very earthquakes of warwill soon be rend ing this mountain of oppression, and tossing its parts hither and thither beyond all possi bility of restoration. Moreover, civilization is everywhere casting off slavciy; and there is reason to hope that even the South will become so far civilized by this war as no longer to desire slavery. It is indeed sad to have to number war amongst the civilizing agents. Nevertheless, so it is, that whilst the nations are on their present low plane—a plane in the case of some of them not above the barbarism of slavcholdlng —it is hardly extravagant to say of them that, “ without shedding ot blood there is no ” civ ilization. War ia emphatically the worst of all remedies. But the nations are still too low and barbarous to try only the better ones. __ Tea, the slave Is soon to go free. Heaven's time for setting him free is at hand; and Earth and Hell cannot prevail against Heaven. He goes free by tbo shedding of blood. Bat it is the blood of bis comtnon w opprcßsors North and South, instead of his own. Wondrous manifestations of the Divine hand! Won drous retributions of the Divine justice! A CORSTITmORAL WAB. The present is no time to talk, and get np Issues and multiply divisions, about the Con stitution, the Union, and the country. One person may wish to have the Constitution altered, and another may not. For one Ido not. and never did, wish any alteration in It. No Democratic stickler for the Constitution os i r . is, be he living or dead, has over spoken or written as much as I have for the Constitu tion as it is. Two years ago the Democratic party, and no small portion of the Republican party, were ready for pro-slavery changes of the Constitution. I opposed them; but I did not ask for anti-slavery changes. I was entirely content with the Constitution just as the Fathers gave it to us. Again, whilst one person may wish the Union modified, another like myself, may bo satisfied with its present terms. And again, whilst one person may wish to have the country no larger, another may go as far as I did in Congress, and wish to have it include Cuba and all Mexico. Oh no, the present is no time to agitate, or even to mention, these questions. There Is time now for nothing else than for all of ns to band ouredves together, and to determine in the depths of our souls, that the rebellion shall go down, even thoughConstitntionandUnion and country go down with it. In this connection I would rebuke the fre quent question, whether we mean to subju gate the Southern Slates. Until therebellion is subdued, we mean to do nothing but subdue it. After that will be soon enough to decide what to do after that. To decide it now would be but to embarrass us, and to get up another issue on which to divide ns. For the present we arc to see to it that the South do not sub jugate ns. This clamor for carrying on the war in only a constitutional way should cease—for it springs neither from good sense nor from an enlightened and enlarged patriotism, and it is fraught with peril, if not indeed with rain, to onr cause. It is not true that we arc bound to carry on the war Constitutionally, at all hazards. I know that the rebels, who have kicked aside the Constitution, say that wc arc. This was the burden of Breckinridge's speeches in the Senate just before ho left It to join the rebel army. I admit that I see no necessity for violating the Constitution in carrying on the war. But if I did, I would not hesitate to have it violat ed. I totally deny that this nation or any oth er nation is to regard itself as tied up to a pa per in the prosecution of the war. Never be fore was there a nation 'so insane as to main tain for one moment the idea that in a life and death struggle it was bound, at whatever risk, to take those steps, and those only, which I had been marked out for it in a time of peace and safety. What the salvation of the nation calls for is to be done, whether the Constitu tion does or doeshot provide lor it. The per son who gays otherwise would be like to evince more concern to save the hat than the bead of the drowning man. “All that a man hath will he give for his life; ” —and all that & nation hath, Constitution included, should she be willing to give for her life. The conn try is more than the Constitution. X **id that I see no necessity for violating I the Constitution In carrying on war. That paper withholds no needed power. It pro vides that Congress may declae war and enact all laws “neceesary aud prop St*' to give effect to the declaration. Congress Is, of course, lie sole judge as to what laws are “necessary ;■! “r ” Snrclv hen* i* power **U"UCh.

But the way to Stand by them is to staud by the government they serve. To desert the Government is to dpsf-tt them. Our soldiers bld ns standbj the Government.

The en lightened friends of freedom and righteous* nt*s the earth over bid ns stand by the Gov ment And, loud above all, comes down the voices of Heaven: “Stand by the Govern ment. Stand by the Government.” A Fight near Strashnrg, [From the Wheeling Intelligencer, 2SUt] Col. Alexander, -who arrived in the city yes terd»y from Winchester, informs us that a considerable fight took place about two miles this side of Stmsbnrg, on Wednesday last. Major M’Gcc, of the 8d Virginia cavalry, with portions of Rowand’s, Utt’s and White’s cav alry companies, encountered a force of three or four hundred rebels, at the place indicated. Major M’Gce’a squadron was the advance of a more formidable force out upon a reconnoia sance, and be therefore made a dash upon the rebels, and after a very brief and brilliant fight drove them from their position without the assistance of the main force. One man of Bowand’s company was hilled and anotherwas wounded. The man who was killed was James Cashman of this city. The wounded man was J. Green of Lewis county. The rebel loss was five killed and nine wounded, besides twenty-five prisoners and forty horses. Among the prisoners taken was Charley Tiers, of West Liberty, in this coun ty, formerly a member of theShrirer Grays. Another Shooting: at Anna* [From the Springfield Journal, 23th,] Another ehooting affair Is reported to hare occurred at Anna, in Union county* on Mon* day of last week. A man named Nash was availed by one Neeley, who accused the for mer of giving information to the fiflicers who recently visited that place for the purpose of making arrests, threatening his life. Nash acted on the defensive, shooting his assailant twice. Both charges entered his breast, pro ducing severe wounds, but at latest accounts they had not proved fatal. The Carbondale Times learns that Nash bad left town, with forty or fifty citizens in pursuit, who threat ened to bang him if caught. He was a Union man, of course, while His assailant was a se cession sympathizer. A body of lowa sol diers, under command of Major Newbold, are now stationed there, which will doubtless have the effect of producing quiet and order. The Situation. [From the St. Louis Republican, 29th.] Gen. S. Price was at Little Rock, Ark., only some ten days ago, at the head of 8,000 dis heartened and hroken-down troops. lie made a speech to them, promising to conduct them into Missouri, but it Is said to have fallen upon indifferent believeiß, and It is added Lib force was being diminished rather than increased alter this effort. The lailure of Matmaduke and Burbridgc in the foray upon the Southeastern part of the State, where they expected to capture Commissary’s stores, clothing, horses, &c., enough to supply the whole army under Price, must operate to de stroy all hope of a successful raid into Mis souri by u Old Pap,” and will go far to pre serve the peace In every part of the State- All that is wanting now is to keep a sharp look out on the border, and this, we are confident, ■will be done. Barntm's Docs.—The threat showman has congregated a mass meeting of dogs at the Mu>eum, and seems to have ransacked the antipodes for unique specimens of the canine fraternity. Such a collection of curious curs is uncqualed. The mastiffs, terriers, pointers, poodles, setters and hounds, arc on exhibition at all hours, without extra charge, and are well worth seeing. In order to accommodate the rush of visitors, Mr. Barnum has been obliged to construct an additional entrance to the second saloon. — X. Y. Timts, 2SfA.
