Tbe Genius of each age records, Heroic, bright, and noble deeds, 'iiid ela.-h of musketry aud swords, 'Mid tramp of foemen and of steeds. O'er battle's horrid scenes of woes, Where flashes high the crimsoned glaive, The heart a laurel wreath bes.tows To the memory of the brave, Tbermoplse and Marathon Shine grand as sunlight on the seas ; Aad vivify those heroes gone Leoniuas, Miltiades. .The glories ot the Grecian States- Rome's prowess on the land and wav?, Awake the chords of praise elate To the memory of the brave. Earopa's heather-vales attest The valor of Caucassian blood ; To brave foul Tyranny's behest Tie knights of Freedom ftoutly stood. Aye, many fought in grand crusade, And many piled tbe hollowed grave ; Let not polluted to>gues upbraid The darling mem'ry of the brave. Upon the blooming Western Land The flash of warry lightning's came ; Dear Vict'ry smiled on Freedom's band, And Tyranny crouched low in shame, Where rest Hie valiant—spirit—free— Oblivion's tide shall never leave ; For heart ensluined will ever be ; The mem'ry of the truly brave, Let nations honor, long ar.d well, The noble hearts that fieeiy bleed ; Each battle-ground—each martyr-cell To consecrate by gallant deed ! 0, green in recollection's maze IF ever y valiant hero's grave ; Posterity its voice will raise. And bless the mem'ry of the brave ! ill is i c 11 it nto ns. [From the Christian Advocate] Providence in Our War. To discern and accept GOD'S wish and de ci_rii in a given event is to half a.sciiieve sue To fail to sec this, or, see ng i', refuse to fo; ward that design, is to take a guarantee for ru ii. To sav that (Jon lias uo design to be (level ipvd in this great ctvil war, is to de nv his interest iu man, which is cicuying his sentient existence. It requires little wisdom to see the moving of ins hand in this war, less to sec tuo design to be ultimately accomplished. Seeing the struggle as inevitably coming as puuisbmeiit follows sin, 1)2 gracisous'.y pr■•pared us for it. it is tiue wo were unprepared, so fur as hu man foresight had made ready Icr success ; bu' a better preparation was at hand made by Providence, divine and direct. The norma! slata of society shows a slight excess of the female over the male sex. But jor the terrible slaughters to which we were to be subjected, and the scoiety might be in i's normal condition for pro-perity at the end of the war. G-n provides a:t act ess of seven hundred thousand males in the Northern States. He opened gold fields' iu abundance; for without gold no war can be waged. Cur rency In* made stable, business thrive, and starvation he kept at bav. We were in a fair way to squander it all on our vanities, sending it abroad. Just previous to the war an un precedented crop of cereals at borne and fail ure of crops abroad made the world our debt ors, and gold flowed back in readiness for tbe struggle to come. The same was repeated a second year, binding the nations to keep the pence when their leaders longed to interfere. Good men recognized the providence, and saw what great blessing for the nation GOD designed to bring from this terrible outbreak of the wrath of man. But the nation would not see it. Politicians denied.if not the right, jot the wish of GOD to interfere in the strug gle, least of all, to so interfere as to bring lib erty to the slave. But bis design was unal terably fixed from the first. Iluiu or freedom for all were the only alternatives .set before th nation. Tt could follow either path at will. It chose a vicillation between the two ; varied fortunes followed ; but ou the whole utter disappointment. The marked successes of die sprn.g of 18G2 caused the nation to forget GOD'S design. Gen. Ilalleck was for getful of it in the West, M'Clelian in the East, and the President revoked Gen. Hunters or der of emancipation in the South. This was too much. Summer followed, the terrible battle summer of 1862, when we were reminded of our refusal to eo operate in GOD'S designs by such a succession of disasters as would have ruined any nation that GOD had tot determined to sustain. That he did sus tain while he punished,who can doubt ? Noth ing but a severe and special storm among the hiiis prevented the junction of Lee with Jack son, the annihilation of Pope, und the capture of Washington before tbe possible arrival of McClellan. A victorious army on the borders of the free states conspired, with a sense of unknown disaster, to make the nation ready to accept GOD'S plan. And so with the first flush of du bious victory came a promise, welcome only TJ necessity, to follow in the path of GOD'S command. Disaster ceased, and confidence justly re torued. But good men feared that no success could come till the promise was redeemed. — fde poor slave no longer prayed for success to northern arms, for the measure of that Recess would be the measure of continued bondage. Meanwhile the North poured out its mighty passes of men. Every pint was reinforced. ioeffHent officers were taken frpra commands THE BRADFORD REPORTER. and pat on trial. Innumerable vessels leaped into the soa from various ports. And so con fidence in the power of man alone was restor ed. Evil-minded, self seeking,party-loving men appeared determined to thwart the design of emancipation. Said one of these leaders, " I tell the President that without we have a change of measures, so help vie God, we will have a change of men Without he responds to the voice which h&a been seot from Ohio and Pennsylvania and Indiana, and from glorious New York ; without he hears and heeds, and acts upon the potential voice of the people thus expressed in thunder tones./Aaf as Wash ington was the first President, Abraham Lin coin is the last." This was responded to by millions, for the state mentioned had wheeled into the line of opposition to the policy of emancipation. Thus they signified their re turn to the road to ruin,and the promised pol icy seemed ready for utter defeat. So dan gerous is it to put off doing right. In this spirit,and with their fancied strength, a uniformly victorious leader led our forces against the foe at Fredericksburg. The fear ful result, so keenly felt by the nation, so bit terly iu the families of fifteen thousand men, was a hint of what would inevitably follow movements founded on the policy which was being dictated to the President. Still the people were not ready for final committal to the policy of justice and right. They determined to snatch victory at a 1 ist moment, and so justify the non-issuing of the proclamation of freedom on the ground that I there was no military necessity. Sunday morning before the old year closed j the assault on Vicksburg began, enough of it- I self to insure defeat. Monday the battle rng jed extremely sore Disastrous repulse follow j ed. Fags of truce were fix d upon till the i enemy had time to strip the wounded and dead Tuesday it was fully seen that the cherished object of the West could not be achieved, and thousands had been thrown away. Wednesday opened with the defeat of Murfreesboro. The | right wing was utterly broken. Ammunition ' trains and rations for the soldiers, defense and ! strength, was swept away from their very rear, and the road to Kentucky and Ohio was well nigh opened. Night comes. A storm is |on the water. The pride of the gles with the waves. The most globus ship in hbtory, and one of the chief sujmorts of j our pride, strikes flag to Him who iioWs tin* j winds in his fist. The last hour of the old I year -ees rebel steamers creeping down upon , our ships a" Galveston ; and before the proc lamation was announced the whole force of men, ships, and armament- is slaughtered, cup tured. blown up or scattered. Was not the nation made ready to accept (ion's piaa ? DM the men pledge to anarchy iv fearful inipreciuturns keep their vows ? Was not their wrath restrained ? Finally (he deed was done, GOD'S plan adopted. The skies so long utterly black over the slave broke into light, and the playing 11 unes wrote freedom in the sight of all.— Prayer for success flooded up to heaven from North and South. That very day, by the in spiration of God and under the protection of his buckler, Rosencrans snatched victory from defeat ; that very day the onset of rebels across the Black water was repulsed ; that very day Col. Sullivan destroyed theconimaud of the long sought Col. Forrest ; that very day Col. Ilaskins defeated the übiquitous Morgan ; that very day Col Phillips drove the rebel Indians across the Arkansas and de stroytd Fort Smith ; that very day Hindmans ar.mv in Arkansas was utterly dispersed. Shall we learn aught ? Shall we take GOD'S path of glory, or ours of shame again? It , will not be claimed that taking his path shall ' save in every instance from defeat , that nil ! possible incapacity and designed treachery shall fie over ruled for our success. We can , not claim that the motive of this last step is entirely acceptable, nor the limitations of the j plan according to his will ; but from bright ' omens of succe-s we believe his grace will be vouchsafed to help us, aud his wisdom to guide to a perfect result. Onto SOLDIERS ON THE COPPERHEADS.—A meeting of Ohio officers in Rose.run's army was held on the 12th inst., to take measures to learn the sentiment that exists in the army in regard t<j the prosecution of the war, adop tion of dishonorable compromises, and the in cipient treason which has developed itself in i the North. The utmost unanimity prevailed, and an adress was adopted, of which the fol lowing is an extract : " We have sunk nil party considerations in devoted loyalty to our country, and whatever names unholy traitors may appiy to us we I will, by every means that Providence puts in our hands, sustain the Uuiou.so help us GOD! j The army of the West is in terrible earnest ; earnest to conquor and destroy armed rebels; earnest to meet force with force ; earnest iu its hearty destination of cowardly traitors at home ; earnest in will and power to overcome ail who desire the nations ruin. Ohio's one hundred thousand soldiers ask their fathers, brothers and friends by their firesides and in their peaceful homes to bear and heed this ; appeal, and put an eud to covert treason at ; home, more dangerous now to our national existence than the presence of armed hosts of misguided rebels." A LUXURY.—A traveler was lately boasting of the luxury of arriving at night,after a hard day's journey, to partake of the enjoyment of a well cut ham and the left leg of a goose.— | " pray, sir, what is the peculiar luxury of a left leg ?"' " Sir, to conceive its luxury, you must find that it is the only leg that is left !'" A lot of fellows bauteriug a large and fat companion, remarked that if all flesh was grass, he must be a load of hay. " I suspect I am," said the man, " from the way the asses are nibbling at me." "If you children quarrel so about that doll, I'll break it; there's uo peace where you are." lOh do mamma, " screamed the yoong hope ful; "then we ail shall have a little piece.' PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY AT TOWANDA, BRADFORD COUNTY, PA., BY E. 0. GOODRICH. A Patriotio Letter from the Army of the West. The following letter written by a former resident of Rome township, to hi 3 brother, speaks for itself, and ought to quiet the mur raurers and eornplainers of the policy of the Administration in the conduct of % the present war against treason and rebellion. The writer, as will he perceived, is not an abolitionist ; on the contrary, he is and always has been a democrat of the bluest stripe—nev ertheless he is a patriot, and in favor of end ing the war bj weakening the rebellion by ev ery possible means. While such men as Gen. BUTLER, and oth ers of our patriotic soldiers, tell us that slavery is the cause of the war and ought to be struck down. The copperheads among us, who hiss coutinually and are forever telling us that the war for the suppression of Rebellion is carried on only in the interest of the Abolitionists—to free " niggers," ought to be ashamed to show their heads. CAMP NKAR LA FAYETTE, TENK.,) Feb. 14. 1563. ) DEAR BROTHER : * * * We have beeu encamped at this place one month. Our force here is the loth, 44'.h and 76ih Ill inois, a Company of Cavalry ana a Battery of four guns. It has rained a good share of the time sine? we arrived at this station. We are twenty seven miles from Memphis. Two trains come iu and go out every day and bring the latest news from Vicksburg and Charleston. Our forces here are in very good health and in high hopes that our army of the West will prove itself unconquerable, under the command of Geu. Grant, now before Vicks burg. That battle will tell to us whether we are to stay another year or go home. If we win it the day is our, and the Mississippi is in our possession. If we don't take Vicksburg, and the battle goes agaiust us, the war will qot be ended. r More troops will be called for—the negroes armed and the Abolitionists be made to fight beside the negro and against him, as the South will arm their mu'.attoes and Creoles. If 1 had known that I to free the negroes, so they would spread over the Eastern and Western States, it would have gone against my ideas of right. But such is not the " idea." Our Presdent in freeing them iutenas to weaken the South and take away their help—for most two years the South has been fed by their slaves, who were kept at home, working and raising bread for their Avmv, while their masters were fighting against us. Now, that is " played out," and instead of furnishing the Southern army with provisions, the negroes arc to be armed to the number not exceeding 300,000, and besides this, the President has ordered that every roan through out the Federal States, between the age of e : ghteen and forty five, shall be ready aud li able to be called upon to fight. rsow, it is of no use to talk of peace with the South at this time. If the North was to ask for peace, what would be the result ? It would be to acknowledge ourselves whipped, and sub mit to their own terms. Now, let our forces be uuited—let ns fight for Victory and to win. We will plant our banner firm, and as the Stars and Stripes float proudly over us, we will prove to the wojld that no traitor blood fills our veins and no cowardice our hearts. — If we fall, it is for our country—if we live, DO finger of scorn will point us out as traitors. I am in good health at present, and as long as I am blest with health, the army is my home, Gon mv guide—in Ilim 1 trust. The President is our ruler, and to him we look as to the laws of the land ; and in our rifles we place great confidence as a friend. Your Brother, J. IT. MAYNARD. (Correspondence of the Reporter.) A Voice from the Battle Field. CAMP PITCHER, Near Falmouth. Va., ) February 25th, 1563. J A meeting of the officers of the 51th Regi ment Pennsylvania Volunteers, was convened lor the purpose of appointing a committee to draft resolutions, expressive of the views of the officers and privates of the regiment in re gard to the war and the duty cf all L nion loviug citizens in the great struggle for lib erty. Lieutenant Col. Peter Sides was called to the chair, and Captain JAMES M. DARLING was appointed Secretary. On motion, the chair appcinted the follow ing nr med officers as that committee. Chap lain McAdams, Dr. Lyman and Captain Nel son, to report at the next meeting. Adjourn ed to meet at eleven o'clock, A.M., the follow ing day. FEBRUARY 26, 1563. The meeting convened according to adjourn ment. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. The committee presented the followiog re port, which was uoanimonsly adopted : WHEREAS, The war, which has caused us voluntarily to relinquish the endearments of home, and the comforts and peacefel pursuits " REGARDLESS OF DENUNCIATION FROM ANY QUARTER." of civil life, and to tubmit to the deprivations and hardships incident to active military ser vice, is one which involves interests of tbe most momentous and enduring character ; And whereas, On the result of this contest the ex istence of our Government, the perpetuation of the blessings of civil and religious liberty to the unborn millions of future ages, and the solution of the question : Is the existence of a Republican form of Government possible ? all depend ; And whereas, We have a deter mined, wily and powerful foe4n front to meet on the field of deadly combat, aud also the machinations of a mean,cowardly, cunning and insidious crew iu tbe rear to scoru and resist; therefore, Resolved, That we spnro with contempt and indignation the suggestion of the Northern copperheads, that we must approach armed traitors with propositions of compromise— which they would scornfully reject—as alike incompatible with every attribute of true man hood, and with the dignity and honor of a great and powerful Government Resolved, That tbe only compromise that we can consistently make with traitors is that they lay down their arms aud return to their allegiauce. Resolved, That the only hope of securing this result is to be found in a vigorous and de termined prosecution of the war, whatever may be the required sacrifice of life and treas ure, till the military supremacy of the Gov ernment is fully vindicated. Resolved, That we are still willing to toil and fight and die, if uecessury, for the attain ment of this end. Resolved, That the wide spread opinion in the Northern States that the army of the J'o omac is demoralized and will not fight is false aud slanderous, and we doubt not the malicious fabrication of those Northern trait ors, who would stab us in the dark, but are too cowardly to array themselves under the banner of the insurgents aod to meet us in the shock of battle. Resolved, That loyal men at home should carefully organize themselves to watch tbe stealthy movements of the venomous " copper heads," and aid the Government in bringing ihem to condign punishment,not only for their treacherous behavior at home, but also for their endeavors to make their slander of the army true by poisoning the minds of the sol diers through the influeuce of treasonable letters. Resolved, That, as the President of the United States is the constitutional represent ative of our Government, his administration must and will be sustained by all true patriots, and that those who are denouncing his admin istration, are laboring to the exteut of their power to throw hiderances in the way of a vigorous and successful prosecution of the war, and deserve the unmitigated scorn of patriots and the hemp that is dug to trait ors. Resolved, That slavery is one of the chief pillars of sirentii to the rebellion ; that its es sential antagonism to freedom renders its ex istence! incompatible with the restoration of the Union and its continued maintenance, and that the President's emancipation prociaroa tion is not only humane aud wise, hut an ab solute military necessity in order to the speedy suppression of tbe rebellion aud the restoration of enduring peace. Resolved, That we heartily approve the pol irv of organizing all the able bodied men of African descent into regiments, brigades and divisions for active military operations ; for as we have to risk our lives for the mainte nance cf our liberties, it is but just that they should be required to incur the same hazards in order to secure theirs ; and as they have heretofore been used for the promotion of the rebeliion, it i 3 but right that lliey should be used hereafter for its suppression. Resolved, That while we do not fight for anv man, or set of men, but will cheerfully follow the leadership of any general whom the President as Commander-in Chief of the Arrnv may, in his wisdom, see fit to appoint over us, we take pleasure in declaring our con fidence in the ability and skill of our present brave and gallant commander, Major-General Hooker. Resolved, That Governor A. G. Curtin de serves the thanks of ail true patriots for the skill, energy and patriotism which he has dis played in raising, arming and equipping the troops of our State,and especially of all Penn sylvania soldiers, for the profound iaterest which he has manifested in their welfare gen erally since they have been brought into the field, and particularly iu his efforts to have the sick and wounded of their numbers re moved to hospitals in our own State, and as far as practicable to their own homes, till fit for dirty. Resolved, That these proceeding, signed by the Chairman and Secretary, be published in the Harrisburg Telegraph, Philadelphia In quirer, Forney's Press, Towanda REPORTER, and in all the loyal papers of the different counties in which the regiment has been raised. It was resolved that Col. Sides, our Chair man, should call the regiment together, and that the chairman of the committee on reso lutions should read this paper to the non com missioned officers and privates and ask them to take the paper under consideration. The regiment was accordingly assembled Sergeant Green was called to the chair. The preamble and resolutions were read and unan imously and enthusiastically adopted, followed by three cheers for the resolutions and three more for General Hooker, the Army and Na vy. LIEUT.-COL.

State Superintendent of Common Softools [The following communication, and favorable editorial notice, in reference to the Common School Superinten dency, we clip from the Harrisburg Daily Telegraph, of of the 3d ins. As we have heretofore lecommended Prof. COBURH to the appointing power, it is useless to say that we cheerfnlly endorse the article. From a life-long ex perience as a teacher and School officer, Mr. C. is peculi arly adapted to the position ; and bis sterling worth and indomitable energy, together with his unquestioned abil ity, will secure to the educational cause a good and reli able officer.— ED.] We publish to-day, a very able communica tion in reference to the appointment of a suc cessor iu the Superintendent of the Common- School Department. On this subject, we have declared that we have no particular personal preference. All that we, and all that the friends of tbe administration ask for, is a change, by which the whole Department may be purged of some of the useless material with which it is now burdened, and reorganized on a plan of economy in more perfect harmony both with its own success aod the necessity of the Commonwealth. Tbe communication to which we refer, suggests Charles R. Coburn, of Bradford coun ty, as a gentleman eminently qualified to suc ceed the present Superintendent of Common Schools. The reputation of Mr. C. as a teach er and a superintendent in connection with the cominoQ schools of bis locality, is of the most enviable character. In fact, be is represented to be a practical, thorough aud accomplished teacher, one who has made the calling a pro fession. and dignified it by the zeal and suc cess with which he has devoted himself to the pursuit. If Mr. Coburn is appointed, we have every assurance of his fitness for the position. Added to this, he is a thoroughly loyal man— and with loyalty and fitness combined, his ap pointment could not fail to be popular. EDITOR TELEGRAPH : Sir : —As it seems to be couceded that there is to be a change in the head of the school department, I desire to call the attention of the appointing power and all who are interested in the welfare of our com mon schools, to the merits of Professor C. R. Coburn, of Bradford county, for that position. Mr. Coburn has been connected with schools and educational enterprises, as teacher andsu perintendent, all- his lifetime ; and he has showu himself competent and efficient in ev ery department of science with which he has b-'en conmcted. As an evidence of his ability and energy, I need only say, that be took the siiperintendency of the common schools of Bradford county, at a time when the affairs of the system were in utter contusion, and the of fice of superintendent very unpopular with the people, so unpopular that in many districts it was entirely disregarded and condemned. Out of this chaos he immediately organized order; I ar.d, from being " everywhere spoken against,'! the office of superintendent soon came to be j everywhere regarded with favor, and all the rules and recommendations of the depart- ; rnent fire now acquiesced iu, and obeyed with cheerfulness. It is believed that the same ! spirit of harmony, order and emulation which j he has infused into the affairs cf his local dis trict, would pervade the system in every part of the State, if he could be promoted to tbe head of the department. It would 6eem to be proper and very judi cious to confer the appointment upon some one of the county superintendents. Having been-j connected with the school system in a position : of such importance and responsibility, shonld ! tell strongly in favor of. any applioaut. But: when I say, as I suppose I may, without dis-: paraging or offending anybody, that Prof. Co- j burn is among the very first of the county su j periritendents of the State ; and his brother : superintendents have indorsed his high quali fications upon various occasions, by calling him to preside over their conventions, I think 1 present a case that ought to have controlling influence with the Governor when becomes to decide upon the appoiDtee. The qualifications of Prof. Cobnrn being ad rnitted to be equal to those of any otherap plicaut, then his location should entitle him to the appointment. The northern section of the State has received uo importaut appointment, from this Administration. And now, when we offer an unexceptional man, pre-eminently qualified for the office of Common School Su-1 perintendent, we hove a right to expect that our claims will not he disregarded. February 26, 1863. D. L. The Protest Against Mediation- The following are the proposed concurrent joint resolutions reported by Senator Sumner from the Committee on Foreign Relations, to whom was referred the message of the Presi dent of the United States, communicating, in answer to the resolution of tbe Senate, the correspondence on the subject of mediation, ar bitration, or other measures looking to a ter mination of the present rebellion : Whereas, It appears from the diplomatic correspondence submitted to Congress, that a proposition, friendly in form, looking to paci fication through foreign mediation, has been made to the United States by the Emperor of the French, and promptly declined by the Pre sident ; aud whereas, the idea of mediation or intervention in some shape may be regarded by foreign Governments as practicable, and such Governments, through this misunder standing, may be led to proceedings tending to embarass the friendly relations which now exist between them and the Uuited States ; and whereas, in order to remove for the future all chaDCe of misunderstanding on this subject and to secure for the United States the full enjoyment of that freedom from foreign inter ference, which is one of the highest rights of independent States, it seems tit that Congress shonld declare its convictions thereon : Therefore, Resolved, The House of Repre sentatives concurring, that while in times past the United States have sought and accepted tha friendly mediation or arbitration of foreign Powers by the pacific adjustment of interna tional qnestions where the United States were the party of the one part, and some other sov ereign Power the party of tbe other part, aod while they are not disposed to mieeoattrne tbe VOL. XXIII. —NO. 4:1. natural and humane desire of foreign Powers to aid in arresting domestic troubles, wbieh, widening in their influence, have afflicted oth er countries, especially in view of the circum stance, deeply regretted by the American peo ple, that the blow aimed by therebellonatths uation's life ba9 fallen heavily upon tbe labor ing population of Europe, yet notwithstanding these thing:, Congress cannot hesitate to re gard every proposition of foreign interference in the present contest as so far unreasonable and inadmissible, that its only erplanation will be found in a misunderstanding of tbe true state of tbe question, and of the real character of tbe war in which the Republic is engaged. Resolved, That the United States are now struggling with an unprovoked and wicked re bellion which is seeking the destruction of the Republic, that it may build up a new Power, whose corner-9tone, according to the confes sion of its chiefs, shall b$ slavery. That for the suppression of this rebellion and thus to save the Republic and*to prevent the establish ment of such a power, the National Govern ment is now employing armies and fleets iu full faith that through these efforts all the pur poses of tbe conspirators and rebels will be crushed ; that while thus engaged in this straggle on which so much depends, any pro position from a fo.eign Power, whatever form it may take, haviDg for its object tbe arrest of these efforts, is just in proportion to its influ ence an encouragement to tbs rebellion aud to its declared principles, and on this account fa calculated to prolong and embitter the conflict, to cause increased expenditures of blood and treasure, and to postpone the much desired day of peace. That with these convictions, aud not doubting that every such proposition although made with good intent, is injurious to the uational interests, CoDgress will b obliged to look npon any farther attempts ia the same direction as an unfriendly act, which it earnestly deprecate, to the end that nothing may occur abroad fo strengthen rebellion or to weaken those relations of good will with foreign Powers, which the United Statea ara happy to cultivate. Resolved, That the rebellion from its begin ning, and far back even ia the conspiracy which preceded its outbreak, was encouraged by the hope of support from foreign Powers ; that its chiefs frequently boasted that tho people of Europe were so far dependent upon regular supplies of the great Southern staple, that sooner or later their Governments would be constrained to take sides with the rebellion in some effective form, even to tbe extent of forcible intervention if the milder form did not prevail ; that tbe rebellion is now sustained by this hope, which every proposition of for eign interference awakens auew, and that, without this life giving support, it mast soon yield to the just and paternal authority of the National Government. That considering these things, which are aggravated by the mo tives of the resistance thus encouraged, the United States regret that foreign Powers have not frankly told the chiefs of the rebellion that the work in which they are engaged is heartfu!, and that a uew Government, such as they seek to found, with slavery as its acknowl edged corner-stone, and with no other declared object of seperate existence, is so far shocking to civilization and the moral sense of mankind that it must not expect welcomeor recognition in tbe commonwealth of nations. Resolved, That the United States, confident in the justice of their cause, which is the cause also of good government and human rights ev erywhere among men; anxious for the speedy restoration of peace, which shall secure tran quility at home aud remove all occasions of complaint abroad, and waiting with well as sured trust the fiuai suppression of the rebel lion, through which all these things, rescued from present danger, will be secured forever, and the Republic, one aud indivisible, tri umphant over its enemies, will continue to stand an example to mankind, hereby an nounce as their unalterable purpose that the war will be vigorously prosecuted according to the humane principles of Christian Statea, until the rebellion shall be suppressed, and they reverently invoke upon their cause the blessings of Almighty Gon. Resolved, That the President be requested to trausmit a copy of these resolutions through the Secretary of State to the Ministers of the United Slates in foreign countries, that the declaration and protest herein set forth may be communicated by them to the Governments to which they are accredited. A DISTRESSING AFFAIR. —We are pained to record the death of Mrs. Blue, wife of ex- Sheriff Blue, of Liberty township, this county, ou Tuesday last by drowning.
