loyalty and Heroism of Colored AmerE
To the Editor of The Press:
Sib: The negro ha* never bad an equal chance
with the white man in this country, having been
generally denied the common rights of humanity.
Though he has been an inhabitant almost at long as'
the white man, and hae done much for its welfare,
yet he has not been treated so well as the foreigner,
even in the free States. There is much truth anjjli
force in what a highly-respected colored clcrgymaV
of New York said a few years ainoe: “We are na
tives ol this country; we ask only to be treated as
wellas foreigners. Not a few of our fathers suffered
and bled to purchase its independence; we only ask
to betreated as well as those who fought against it.
We have toiled to cultivate it, and to raise It to its
present prosperous condition; we only ask to share
equal privileges with those who come from distant
lands to enjoy the fruits of our labor.”
Notwithstanding the treatment that the colored
man has received in this country, yet he has dis
played *a high degree of loyalty and bravery.
Treason and cowardice can by no means be charged
on colored Americans, though they have had so
little, comparatively, to call out the opposite quali
ties. Glancing at the'facta that the history of the
past can furnish on this Bubject, who can doubt for a
moment that the millions of colored men in this
country can render most effective servioe towards
suppressing the existing rebellion with the opportu
nity afforded them, and the powerful motive of
freedom unequivocally presented before them.
- The first martyr to liberty la the Revolution was
a colored man by the name of Crispus Attacks. ,He :
was the first man shot: b’ytho British soldiers in the <
Boston m assacre of Marc h 5 th, 1770, which ooourred
on. King (notr st-ato) ctrrDt. - —~ _
There were several colored soldiers at the battle
of Bunker Hill, among whom wag one by the name
of Salem. Particular allusion is made to him by
Swett, in bis “ Sketches” ol that battle. He says :
“ Major Pitcairn Caused the first effusion ‘or blood
at Lexington. . In that battle his horse was shot
under him, while he was separated from, hia troops.
With presence of mind, he feigned himself slain.
His pistols were taken from big holsters, and he was
left for dead, when he seized the opportunity and
escaped. He appeared at Busker Hill, and,” gaye
the historian, “among those who mounted the
works was the gallant Major Pitcairn, who exult
inglycried out, ‘The dayis ours!’ when a black
soldier named Salem shot him through, and he fell.
His agonized son received him in his arms, and ten*,
derly bore him to the boats. A contribution was
made in the army for the colored soldier, and he
was presented to Washington as having performed
this feat.”
In tie Revolution there was a colored company
called the “Backs of America » that rendered moat
valuable Bervice. At the clo«e of that struggle
John Hancock presented them with an appropriate
banner, bearing hia initials, aa an expression of hi(
appreciation of their patriotism and bravery. The
“ Bucks,” commanded by Col. Middleton,’wore in
vited to a collation in a neighboring town, and, while
on their way, were requested to halt in front of the
Hancock mansion, on Beacon street, where the Go
vernor and Iris son united in presenting the banner.
At the commencement of the War of the Revolu
tion, Rhode Island had quite a number ofßlaves,
but she knew bow to make good use of them. A
regiment of them was formed, and no braver, men
went intobattle than they were. They were not,
however, permitted to become soldiers until they
were first emancipated, and their freedom pledged to
them forever. In the gallant defence of Red Bank
that regiment bore a most honorable part. In that
struggle four hundred men met and repulsed, after a
terrible slaughter, fifteen hundred Hessian troops,
headed by Count Donop.
~ The capability of the blacks to render valuable
services as soldiers, was acknowledged at the Revo
lutionary period at the South, as well as at the
North. In 1779 a convention of delegates from South
Carolina and the special envoy from Georgia sug
gested “that a force might be raised in thesaid State
from among the negroes, which would not only be
formidable to the enemy, from their numbers, and
the discipline of which they would readily; admit,
but would also lessen the dangers from revolts and
desertions by detaching the most vigorous and en
terprising of the negroes.”
In the begriming the Georgia delegates gave to
John Adams, as recorded in bis diary at the time,
“ a melancholy account of the States of Georgia
and South Carolina.' They said if one thousand
regular troops should land in Georgia, their com
mander be provided with arms and clothes enough,,
and proclaim freedom to all the negroes who would
join his camp, twenty thousand negroes would join
it from the two Provinces in a fortnight. The ne
groes having a wonderful art of conveying intelli
gence among themselves, it will runseveral hundred
miles in a week or fortnight.”
The fact that colored Americans rendered im
portant service in that contest, scyeraUeading men
North and South have acknowledged, who could
not be accused of special anti-slavery tendencies.
Charles Pinckney, of South Carolina, in his speech
on the Missouri question, and'in defence of the
slave representation of the South, said : " They
(the Biuret) then were, as they still are, aa valuable
a part of our population to the Union as any other
equal number of the inhabitants. They were in
numerous instances the pioneers, and in all the
laborers of your armies, To their hands were
owing the greater part of the fortifications raised
for the protection of our country. Fort Moultrie
gave, at an early period of the inexperience and un
tried valor of our citizens, Immortality to American
arms, and in the Northern States numerous bodies
of them were enrolled and fought, side by side with
the whites, the battles of the Revolution.”
Mr. Martindale, a member of Congress from New
York, in a speech delivered in 1828, spoke in high
terms of what colored men had done, and said:
“Slaves, or negroes who had been slaves, were en
listed as soldieisin the war ol the Revolution ; and
I myself saw a battalion of them, as fine martial,
looking men- as I ever saw attached to the Northern
army, in the last war, on its maroh from Platts
burg to Saokett’s Harbor.”
The loyal and heroic acts of colored men In the
last war with Ragland are familiar to some minds,
but ought to be more generally known. They re
flected honor on themselves; both on the land and
in the navy.
Captain Perry, writing to Commodore Chauaoy,
the senior officer, said: “The men that came by
Mr. Champlin ajg a motley set—blacks, soldiers, and
-boys. I am, however, pleased to see anything in the
shape of a man, 1 1 In the letter written by Commo
dore Chaunoy in reply, this passage is found:' “I
have nearly fifty blacks' on board this ship , and many of
them are among my best men."
The bravery of colored soldiers at the battle of
New Orleans did not suffer in the least degree in
comparison with that of their white companions in
arms. The testimony of Hob. Robert C. Wiuthrop -
to this is of great weight, especially when it is ro
membered that his coarse has never exoited the
suspicion, that he was particularly tinctured with.
Abolltionißm. In alspeeoh in Congress, in iB6O, on
the " imprisonment of colored seamen,” he declared:
“I believe that I shall be borne outin saylngthat,
no regiments did better service at New Orleans,
than did the black regiments, which were organized
under the direction of General Jackson himself,
after a most glorious appeal to the patriotism and
honor of the people of color of that region; and
which; after they came out of the war, received the
thanks of General Jackson,'in & proclamation which
has been thought worthy of being inscribed on the
pages of history.”
The truly wise derive lessons from the history of
the past, as well as from the living present, to guide
them in their course of action. Do not these lessons
teach us that we should avaii ourselves of the ser
vices of 4,000,004 of colored Americans in the South
to preserve our national existence J We trust that
more and more efficient steps will be taken to bring
this about. This should be done, not as a matter of
mere military necessity, but as a matter of right,-
and then we shall not only seoure them on our side,
but God himself. A good beginning has been made
in this direction, but we should reffiember that it is
only a beginning. The rebels dread the movement
that has been commenced in this direction. They
know, and the worst Copperheads must now ac
knowledge, that the negroes will fight when they
have a proper opportunity.

BRIGADIER GENERA!. A. P. HOWE. TAKEN BV
Survri SB.— A few days ago the officers of the 3d
Division, 6th Corps, Army of the Potomao, sur
prised their chief, Brigadier General A, P. Howe, by
sending to his tent a splendid sword, sash, and belt,
enclosed in a tasteful rosewood case, A correspond
ent of the New York Tribune, describing the affair,
says that the General, alter receiving the testimo
nial and the battering note accompanying it, invited
the officers of his division to meet him at his tent,
at 4 P. M., on the same day, which they did, and we
infer bad a very pleasant time of it. The corres
pondent continues:
“Thaveneither time nor space to give a proper
description of this really magnificent gilt. It claims
especial notice for the chaste style of workmanship
which has been bestowed upon it. The olaborate
and beautiful was here made to shine with taste and
delicacy, reflecting great credit upon the originators
and upon its manufacturers, Messrs. George W. Si
mons & Brother, oi Philadelphia. The neat filagree
ornaments which adorn the saabbard are made of
fine; solid gold, surrounded by chased arid appropri
ate scroll-work. On the scabbard the. letters U. S.
and a star are. formed of diamonds, which glisten
in Oriental splendor. ; The hilt end handle of
the sword are studded with circles of pure pearls
and emeralds. The sword, sash, and belt were
eoual in beauty and Holiness, and the whole was
enolosed in a rich rosewood box. The recipient is
brave, popular, and efficient—has the entire confi
dence of officers and men, and though a stranger to
your correspondent, I am safe in saying he is a ri
sing and promising officer, and at the time of his
promotion held the position of major in the 4th Re
gular Artillery. His past record iu the battle-fields
of Virginia is an index of what we may expeot in
the future.”
The Expeot ox our Courtesies to the Rus
sians.—We have seen a private letter from a high
source in St. Petersburg, whioh says that the recep
tion extended to the Russian naval officers in vhia

honored, he found that officer completely overflow

Rebel Account of the Battle of Chatta
nooga. ,
AN INTERESTING NARRATIVE.
CCorrespoaderoe of the Richmond Dispatch.}
Abu? of Tennessee.
Ghioxamauga, Nov. 25— Midnight.
The Confederates have sustained to-day the most
ignominiouß defeat of the whole war—a defeat for
which there if hut little excuse or palliation. For
the first time during our struggle for national inde
pendence our defeat is chargeable to the troops
themselves, and not to the plunders or incompe
tency of their leaders. It is difficult to realize how
a defeat so complete cenld have oocurred on ground
eo favorable, notwithstanding the great disparity in
the forces of the two hostile armies. The ground
was more in our favor than it was at Fredericks
burg, where Gen. Longetreet is said to have esti
mated that Lee’s army was equal to 300.000 men.
And yet we gained the battle of Frederioksburg, and
lost that of Missionary Ridge.
But let ub take up the painful narrative at thebe
ginning, and see how this greatmisfortune, if not
this grievous disgrace, has befallen the Confederate
arms. ,
lookout Mountain was evacuated last night, it
being no longer important to us after the loss of
Lookout or Will’s Valley, and no longer tenable
against such an overwhelming force, as General
Grant hod concentrated around Chattanooga. Gen.
Bragg abandoned also the whole of Chattanooga,
Valley, and the trenches and breastworks running
along the foot of Missionary Ridge and across the
valley to the base of Lookout, and moved his.troopa
up to the top of the ridge. It was found necessa
ry to extend his right well up toward the Chicka
mauga, nearits mouth, in consequence of the heavy
forces which the enemy had thrown up the river in
that direction. The Tennessee and. Missionary
Bidge approach nearer to each other &b one goes
up, orrather down the valley, the width of which at
some poihtß does not exceed one fourth of a mile.
Across this valley, now alznoßt an open plain, vary
ing from a fourth of a mile to two miles in width,
the Federals advanced to the assault, their ranks ex
posed to sn artilery fire from the ridge while fa the
plain, and to the infantry fire when they attempted
the ascent of the hill or mountain.
The only objection that can be urged against our
line was its length and weakness, the latter being
the result of the former, and the former the result or
circumstances beyond our control, it being necessary
for.ua to guard the passes in the ridge, and to con
form to the length of the line presented* by the ene
my. The ridge varies in height from four to six hun«-
dredfeet, and is crossed by several roads leading out
enemy, was steep and rugged, and in some places
almost bore, the timber having - been cut away for
firewood. Our pickets occupied the breastworks be
low, while the infantry and artillery were distributed ,
along the crest of the ridge from MeFarlan’s Gap
almost to the mouth of the Chiokamauga, adtotauce
of six miles or more. In addition to the natural,
strength of the position, we had thrown up breast
works along the ridge wherever the ascent is easy.
The Federal axrny was marshalled under Grant,
Thomas, Hooker, and Sherman, and did not number
• less than 85,000 weteran troops. The Confederate
army, under Bragg, Hardee, and Breckinridge, did
not number half so many, Longstreet’s Virginia
divisions, and other, troopi, had been seat to East
Tennessee. Had these Deen present, with their
steady leader at the head of them, we should have
won a viotory quite as complete aa our defeat has,
been. As it was, we ought to hare won the day,
and should have done bo if out men had done as
-well as usual;-: Possibly a .mistake..was? committed
when Longstreet was Bent away, arid possibly it
would have been better not to have accepted battle
to*day, but to have retired last night. Gen; Bragg
thought, however, that there was not time, after the
loss of Lookout, to get his army safely overthe
Chickamauga fast night, and that it would be better,
occupying so strong a position, to fight it out. But
what could he expect from a battle where the odds
were co much against him? Not only did Grant
have three to one in numbers, but the geographical
configuration of the ground, in manceuvring an army,
was as favorable as he could desire. Nature had
provided an ample protection forhtoflankaand rear,
and rendered his front almost impregnable. He
possessed the additional advantage'of being able to
matccuvre his army upon theehord of a semi-circle,
while Bragg could move only upon the arc.
But let us proceed with the battle, the strangest,
most singular and unsatisfactory conflict in which
cur anna have been engaged.
Grant deployed Mb immense masses in two heavy
lines of battle, and.sometimes in three, supported by
large reserve farces. The spectacle was magnificent
as viewed from the crest of Missionary Bidge. He
advanced first against our right wing, about ten
o’clock, where he encountered that superb soldier,
Lieutenant General Hardee, who commanded on the
right, while Major General Breckinridge commanded
on the left. Hardee’s command embraced Cleburne’s,
Walker’s (commanded by General Gist, General
Walker beiDg absent), Cheatham’s and Stevenson’s
divisions. Breckinridge’s embraced his old division,
commanded by Brigadier General Lewis Stewart’s,
part of Buckner’s and Hindman’s, commanded by
Patton Anderson. The enemy’s'first assault upon
Hardee was repulsed with great slaughter, as was his -
second, though made with double lines, supported
with heavy reserves. The wave of battle, like the
Wave of the sea when it dashes against a rook-bound
coast, beat and hissed, and struggled in vain; for the
brave men who guarded our right were resolved
never to yield one fbot to the hated invaders. The
oddß against which they contended were fearful; for
while the enemy advanced in two and even three
massive lines, theii own army consisted of only one
long and weak line, without supports.
Yet they not only repulsed every attack, but cap
tured seven flags, about three ghundred prisoners,
and remained masters of the ground until night,
.when they were ordered to retire, carrying off all
their guns, losing no prisoners, and but a small per
centage of killed and wounded. The whole com
mand behaved well, and especially that model
soldier, Major General Cleburne, a true son of the
Emerald Isle, and his heroic division. General Har
.dee saved the army from a disastrous rout, and add
ed fresh laurels to his brow. . . ;
The attack on the left wing was not made until
about noon. Here, as on the right, the enemy was
repulsed; but he was obstinate, and fought with
great axdor and confidence, returning to the charge
again and again in the handsomest style, until one
of our brigades, near the centre, said to be Bey
colds’, gave way, and the-Federal flag was planted
on Missionary Bidge. The enemy was not slow in
availing himself of the great advantages of his new
position. In a few minutes he turned upon our
flanks and poured into them a terrible enfilading fire,
which soon threw the Confederates on his right and
left into confusion. TJnder this confusion the gap in
our lines grew wider, and wider, and wider, and the
wider it grew the faster the muitudinous foe ruflhed
Into the yawning chasm. The confusion extended
until it finally assumed the form of a panic. Seeing
the enemy in possession of a portion of the heights,
the men hastily concluded that the day was gone,-
and that they had best save themselves.
Just at this time the alarm waß increased by an
artillery battery, which rushed down the hill to the
river for a fresh supply of ammunition; the men,
however, supposed they were flying from the field,
and that all was lost. Nearly the whole left wing
eventually became involved and gave way, a por
tion of it retiring under orders, hut the greater
part in unmitigated rout. ~
Gen. Bragg did all he could to rally the fugitives
and reform the broken line. He exposed himself in
the most unguarded manner, and at one time it
looked as if he certainly would be killed. Hia staff
officers’were also conspicuous in their efforts to re
store our line. They and their chief were the last
to leave the ridge.
The day was lost. Hardee still maintained his
ground; but no success of the right wing could re
store the left to its original position. All men—
even the bravest—are subject to error And confusion;
but to-day come of the Confederates did not fight
with their accustomed courage. Possibly the con
• trast between the heavy masses of the Federals, as
they rolled across the valley and up the mountain ’
ridge, and their own long and attenuated line, was
not of a character to encourage them.
. Our casualties are small—very small—too small,
indeed, to he recorded along with so complete and
humiliating a defeat. jlncluded among our losses are
some of our best guns—perhaps as many as thirty or
forty. The infantry supports in some instances fled
so precipitately that there was no time left to re
move the guns. There were but few roads down the
mountain by which they could retreat, and this oc-‘
casioned further loss. All the artillery behaved well.
The men in Cobb’s Battery stood their ground after
their supports hod fled, and though they lost their
guns, they fought them to the last; and, when they
could use them no longer, on account of the steep
ness Of the descent, they hurled hand grenades at
the foe as he crawled up the mountain beneath the
muzzles of thoguns.
The enemy’s loss must haye exceeded ours ten to
one. Our dead and some of-the wounded were left
on the field. ‘
But it is late and bitter cold, and I must close.
We cross the Ghiokam&usa to-night, and then pro
ceed to Dalton. I write under the greatest possible
disadvantages. SALLUST,

ADDRESS OF GEN. LEE,
[From the Richmond Dispatch. 3
Meade tons recroeaed the Rappahannock, but, as
everything written by Gen. Lee is of interest to hiß
countrymen, we give his address to his army when a
battle with Meade was expected:
Headquarters Army of'Northern Verg-inia,
November 2S, iBC3.
General Orders, No. 102.— The enemy i» again
advancing upon our capital, and the country ones
more leohs to this army for its protection. Under
the blessings of God, your valor has repelled every
previous attempt, arid, invoking the continuance of
His favor* we cheerfully commit to Him the issue of
the coming contest.
A cruel enemy seeks to reduce our fathers and our
mothers, our wives and our children to abject slave
ry y to strip them of their property and dri7e them
from their homes. Upon you these helpless ones
rely to avert these terrible calamities, and to secure
to them the blessings of liberty and safety. Your
past history gives them the assurance that, their
trust will not be in vain. Let every man remember
that all he holds dear depends upon the faithful dis
charge of his duty, acd resolve to fight,.and, if need
be, to die, in defence of a cause so sacred and worthy
the name won by this army on so many bloody fields.
- R.E.LEE, General.
GENERAL HARDER.
It has been the fortune or this .general always
to whip his share of the fight, no matter what may
be the general results of the day. At Shiloh he drove
the enemy to the Tennessee river, an& would have
run them in but for an unluoky order>froai the com
mander-in-chief to retire. At Murfreesborough, in
command of our left wing, he fought one of his most
terrifio battles and won as brilliant'&.viotory as there
isonrecord. ’ • *
Unfortunately, the centre and right did not do so
. well. And now again, in the .CMckamauga valley,
he triumphs over the foe and captures seven stand
of colors when all the rest of the army is flying m
confusion from the field. /
GENERAL iIEApEi
[From the Richmond Examiner, December 4 3
The object of the Federal general in these move
ments is popularly supposed, to be the preventing
Lee from sending reinforcements to the armies in
Georgia and Tennessee. A study of Meade’s manage
ment since his assumption of command might lead
to a different conclusion, To preventga transfer of
troops is a collateral object j.but while accomplish-
is not the man to be content with the second
fiddle. His fi?3t aim is to destroy the army of North
ern Virginia and. to take Richmond. The menace
by which he holds the Confederate force on guard
has a reality behind it. If it is weakened, or placed
in a falße position under the suppositionthatthe atti
tude of thftenemy is a feint, a fatal disaster-will im
mediately follow. Falling Waters, Bristow Station,
and Kellv’s Ford abundantly prove that & is very
unsafe to'act on the belief that the present general
of the Ttokee army will not advance in, earnest if
an opportunity is. granted. The affair,
wherein two brigades were separated,from the rest
of the army by a river, apparently because it ww
believed to the last that the manoeuvre of the enemy
in their neighborhood was a pretence, is a perfect
illustration of this view. It*appeata that Meade
has studied General Lee’s taotle&,aa closely as the
latter officer did those of Modellan, and acta upon,
the knowledge he haß gained. But bo distinguished l
• a master of military chess as General Lee has pro
bably more than one gambit, and his antagonist may
have to learn a new - game K at considerable cost,
when he least anticipates it.

beautiful allusion to the career of General Bragg?
ending with the assurance that with union and hop*
mony, Tennessee would next, spring ; be restored.
Both generals, were vociferously cheered, and the
greatest enthusiasm prevailed.
1 Generals Breckinridge and Hardee were also sere*
naded and made appropriate speeches;
'A corps of fifteen thousand Federal troops passed
through Cleveland yesterday on their way tfr
Benton.
The report of the Savannah Republican of the de
sertion of Colonel Hollonqutot, of General Brags’*

Nothing official from General Longstreet, •
GENERAL •BEAG G AND HIS SUCCESSOR.
General Bragg has undoubtedly been relieved of
,the direction of the army now in North Georgia,
and GeneralHardee is in command, whether ten«
porarily or permanently is yet to be seen.
General Bragg has, of late, labored under difficul
ties which, independent of all military skill or saga
city, would have weighed .down almost any com
mander. He has not had the cordial confidence of
his officers and his army, and without these the bat
tle Is half lost before it commences. The cause of
this Btate of feeling towards him is not easy to ac
count for in all its extent/ His alleged harshness a*
a disciplinarian had its effect on the army. The
hostility of the newspapers by his ’rigor
towards their correspondents had much to do.witk
his unpopularity. Kis want of success, hiß incom
plete victories,, and his many retreats, naturally
chagrined his subordinate officers, and made them
reluctant to follow his fortunes, while they were
further alienated by frequent misunderstandings
from whatever cause,
And yet there are good judges who see In General
Bragg the qualities of a gifted commander.
If he has made retreats, it baB]?not been'without
brave and bloody fightß. He has not feared or hesi
tated to stake hfa reputation and his fame on the
gage of battle. Ifghis constrained retreats have lost
usterritory, they have yielded, no more than has
sometimes been sacrificed to a mysterious strategy.
From Shiloh, won his* honors, down to
Chickaffiauga, he has had no bed of roses. If un
successful, he has, at least, not been idle. And when
we consider: the untoward circumstances against
..Which he has had to contend, we oannot but think*
even after making due allowance for his faults and
infirmities,.that he has been more .sinned against
than sinning, and that, if he had been, better sup
ported, he would have accomplished more/ 3
But whatever the reason—whether through real
incompetency,-or through the.suspicion of it. and
that TfnwPfy>T)‘ l ~°j vmfTT t r s TrJ ' " ,I |J ' l > ci,enured—tfrfr
fltae onjrsgg’s usefulness as a commander is over.
Shaken and crippled before, the unsuccessful battle
of Chickamauga has left so farther room fer ques
tion. Bragg himself saw it, and immediately asked
to be relieved.
GENERAL KOEOAN.
[From the Richmond Enquirer, Dec. 5 1
The escape of our gallant raider, Morgan, together
with his staffs and their safe arrival on neutral
ground, will delight every Confederate in the land*
The base and cowardly outrages inflicted on/that
distinguished officer, in the Ohio penitentiary,
ought to be remembered and avenged. The Fetors,
burg Express makes a practical suggestion, which
would strictly and equitably meet the case:
“ Should a kind, just Providence so will it that
Burnside should fall into our hands, we trust that &
cell in some State prison, with a shaved head, coarse
fare, prison garb, &o.» will be instantly awarded him,
u it was by his order that General Morgan was
subjected to the outrages which he has endured. la
this instance we are for the lex lalionis in its strictest
sense. An eye for aneye, and a tooth for a tooth,
is imperatively demanded, and it is the only mode;
by which we can compel the Yankees to conduct
the war in accordance with the usages of civilized,
nations.” . -
A- Rebel View of Edward’Bverett J s Get-«
tysburg Oration#
[From the Richmond Dispatch, November 555 ]
Edward Everett’s oration at Gettysburg is what
might have been expected of that unreal, meta
phorical, moonlight orator. It matters little to him
what the facts are, so he has full scope for -toner,
imagination, and rhetoric. He is always at home
when dealing with dead men, and never so happy as
on funeral occasions. He delights to water the
flowers of bis faneywiththe blood of the brave; and
his imagination runs riot when it can strike its
roots into the mould of sepulchres. Hervey’s ” Me
ditations among the Tombs” seem to be the model
of his funeral eloauence. u A dainty plaot is the
ivy green, creeping over dead men’s graves, I
ween,” . Everett would be glad to have a Gettys
burg every month, if he could be selected to recite
what others have done. His ambition does not
consist in performing virtuous actions himself, but
reporting them. , When he can sing his elegiac and
sentimental commonplaee over the dull, cold ear ot
death, he is quite enraptured* Much as he admirer
his dead heroes, he admires muoh more Ms descrip
tion. of their achievements, and would infinitely
rather describe others than he himself among the
described.
Edward Everett began life a Unitarian preacher,
and to still a Unitarian, rejecting the Scripture doc
trine of human depravity, which never had a better
illustration than his own character. Laying aside
preaching, he took to politics, joining the Whig
PAity, while his brother joined the Democratic, the
better to play into each other’s hands. There never
was any more reality in ;the man’s politics than
bis religion. The man himself to guttering and
hollow as a soap-bubble. He to as cold as a frog.
There is nothing genial or generous about him; no
sympathy with any earthly thing except Edward
Everett. It would be idle to deny him a respectable
degree of scholarship, a fine fancy, and a gUb tongue.
He can work out by lamplight a brilliant oration,
and he can deliver it, after a thousand ptfvate re
hearsals, in'a style to bring down the house. But
there are few county-court lawyers, who, In the
close hug of unpremeditated debate, could not; lift
the oratorical dandy out of hto hoots, and break
every bone in Mb body. And as to war itself, when
heroes have such a strong* hold upon hto imagina
tion, he would much " rather be at Gettysburg now
than then. He may use very fine figures at a'Gettys
buig. oration, but what a figure he would have cut in
front of Pickett’s division! Any old woman with a
broomstick would be more than a match for thls ea
lcglst of the brave in the field of arms. -
He expresses in his Gettysburg oration the confi
dent belief that every Southern State; South Caro
lina included, would vote now, and at any period of
the have voted, if: allowed a fair expres
sion of public opinion, lor the-Union. That is Mr#
Edward Everett’s belief; > "Well, inay belieire
anything. We believe Edward Everett a great Hat#
He may not think bo. 'We confess it to a matter of
opinion. But, when he makes Buch an assertion, *
liar or a fool hemdfet be, and we do not think him,
a fool. That, also, we confess, to a matter of opinion#
At any rate, there are many strange beliefs in the
world. The Chinese believe every man has sixsouls*
Most people would believe Edward Everett, at least,
had not one. Not five years ago he was painting
the most terrific pictures of the results of Black Re
publican success; now-he is the blackestof the Black
Republicans. His soul, if he ever had one, has been
' disposed of to Abraham Lincoln, who repays him by
lettiDg him play off rhetorical fireworks at Gettys
burg, which are very brilliant, no doubt, but not
Quite equal to the pyrotechnics which will celebrate
Edward Everett’s demise in that region where hypo
crites wail and gnash their teeth. •
"We will not argue the question with Mr. Edward
Everett whether the people of the South, if left to
themselves, would vote for the old Union. Suppose
he induces his master Abraham to try the (experi
ment. Weasknomore. Letbim call off hto blood
hounds from every Southern State, disband his mili
tary and permit us to do the same, and then, without
a bayonet from Mason and Dixon’s line to the Gulf,
let the people of the Southern States vote for or
egainst the Union! Let him begin the experiment
with even the border States of Maryland and Mis
souri ! 'Will he do it 1 He would sooner cut off his
right hand. Abraham Lincoln understands, if Mr#
Edward Everett does not, that the Union is a dead
cock in the pit, and that he has killed it with his
own hands.- No matter what the original merits of
the quarrel, the Yankee mode of conducting this
war has made the union of Are and water a more
practicable achievement than the reunion of the
Northern and Southern States. The question of
Bubjugation is one question; the question'd vo
luntary reunion no question at aIL If a vote could
be taken in the Southern States whether we should
reunite with the bloody murderers of our sons and
brothers, or with the Emperor of France or Austria,
or the Queen of England, there would be one uni
versal shout of acclamation for Europe. There is
no nation on the earth which to so heartily detested
and execrated in the Confederacy as the butcher na
tion of the North. 'Voluntary reunion with them t
A union with hyenas, v&mpyres, and thugs is about;
as probable and practicable.
The Youngest Soldier in the Army of thb
Cumberland—He Bbcbtves from Gen, Boas*
CRANS THB BADGE OF THE BOLL OF HONOR,— -
Bast eveniDg at the Caledonian supper Gen. Bom»
crass exhibited the photograph of a boy who,'ho
said, was the youngest soldier in the Army of the
Cumberland, His name is Johnny Clem, twelve
years of age, a member of Company C, 22d Michigan ,
Infantry. His home is at Newark, Ohio, He first
attracted the attention of Gen. Boseorans during the
review at Nashville, where he waa acting as marker
for hia regiment. His extreme youth (he is quite
small for his age) and intelligent appearance mte* •
rested the General, and, calling him to him, he
questioned him as to his name, age, regiment, &c.
Gen. Bosecrans spoke encouragingly to the young
soldier, and told him to come and see him whenever -
he came where he was. r
He saw no more of :the hoy until Saturday last,
when he went to his place of residence—the Burnet •
House—and found Johnny Clem sitting on his sofa,
waiting 1o see him. Johnny had experienced some -
of the vicissitudes of war since last they met. He. ■
bad been captured by "Wheelers cavalry near Bridge*
port. His captors took him to Wheeler, who sa
luted him with —
“What are you doing here, you d—d little Yankee
scoundrel P* _
Said JohDny Clem, stoutly, ‘‘General Wheeler,
lam no more a d—d scoundrel than you are, sir.
Johnny said that the rebels stole about ail that he
had, including his pocket-book, which .contained s
only twenty-five cent,. “ But J woUto t have eared,
for the rest,” he added, “if they hadn’t stolen my
hat, which had three bullet-holes it received at •
°He k w?B a fllaiJy paroled and sent North. On Satui>
day he waa on hie way from Camp Chase to hie regi
ment. having been exchanged. General Rosecrans
observed that the young soldier had chevron! on hi!
arm, and ashed the meaning of it. He laid he was .
promoted to a corporal for shooting a rebel colonel,
atCUckamaugs. The colonel was mounted, and.;
stopped Johnny at some point on the field, crying,
“Stop, you little Yankee devil !”■ Johnny halted,
bringing Wb Austrian rifle to an “order,” thus ,
throwing the colonel off his guard, cocked his piece,
{which he could easily do, being so Short,) and, sud- .
denly bringing it to his shoulder, fired, the colonel,
falling dead with the bullet through his breast.
The little fellow told his story simply and mo
destly, and the General ’determined to honor Us
bravery. He gave tin the badge of the “roll.of
honor,” which Mrs. Saunders, wife of the host of
the Burnet House, sewed on Johnny’s cosh His
eyes glistened with , pride as he looked upon the
badge, and little Johnny seemed suddenly to have
grown an Inch or two taller, he stood so erect. He .
left Us photograph with Gen. Rosecrana who ex
hibits it with pride. We may again hear from,
