You have called us, and we're coming, by Rich mond's bloody tide To lay us down for freedom's sake, our brother's bones beside; Or from foul treason's savage grasp to wrench the murderous blade.

IVJEISSICUEIII-11. N-E". SPEECH OF REV. A. COOKMAN. The following eloquent speech of the able divine, Rev. Alfred Bookman, was delivered at the war meeting in Lancaster, on Saturday last - FELLOW CITIZENS: This is to me a some what unexpected call, but I should feel my self recreant to every great principle of pat riotism and of truth if 1 refused or even hes itated in this, my native county, for it may not be known to many of you that I first o pened-my-eyes upon -God's world within the lift.s of old Lancaster; it gave me a being, and it gave me one of the best of wives, so 'that I feel under immense obligations to it._ [Cheers.] I say that I should feel myself re creantto.every principle of truth and right, if I hesitated to: seize this opportunity to say, in the lan,, , mage of old John Adams, "Sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish, I give my heart and hand" to these Union measures. It is my living sentiment; liber ty and the Union now, liberty and the Union forever. [Great applause] . • It is nseiess for any"' us to disguise the fact 7 --the stern and startling fact—that this .Union; which is so unutterably . dear-to our heartkiptr at the prnsent , in., imminent Thousands, yea,,,landredt; of thousands of our fellow-citizens; or cuedand armed, are intent, upon the overthrow•-of this, I dare to say, the very best Government that yonder sun- ever looked dowii - tiptin; a Goverment which ought to be. jußt as dear to them as to ourselves; , a GOiernment, „with which our own hopes and the-hopealifour children and childien's children are intithately bound u to the very latest : siineration; "' ..a Governmen closely connected; as we thielt, - : with the "canselpf*y!",.tbrenhouAthe world. for if our;eilkirimeriti 61 -- ”self-i6Veitincine - should - ';‘?”,•*gti4 l lT 3 .3 w3.,s l re satisfied that it.tuust lianAjik:freedom .Ibn the '• . - 4 1 **$ ient4 -I •Siftji ?or one;,'hund':ied .413i4iiiiaiaat which *tar a&we J 7 :;, ; ?vv . kne'ot . „ % ho.Tay.s 4ight, hands: of - • „ 1 - or ... . ti!:. ... . . . .., - • ~ .. .. •,,-:....'•,;;•.•• ~...' „ ....- '' -- 4 . : , •.,• i: , ::::.: 1 •: -. - -.. . : ,.......• - •;Z ! , 1....‘;',•, ,... ..••••• . .•,- .

Thousands and hundreds of thousands of - our fellow cit. izensovith_wrae_thtui_Vantlaklike violence are rushing forward to' destroy ther.super structure of that Government. Now the practical, inquiry occurs, vrtirt is to be done? The answer, •it appears to me, is an •easy ow. My fellow citizens, what would you do if te l . .ight at 12 o'clock you were to fitid an as amain in your bed chamber, fully resolved up on your life? I make no question but that you would spring from your slumbers and grapple with him, and not even hesitate to put him to death in order to save your own life. 'Parent, what would you do if a rebel lion Were to arise in your domestic circler-- Weald not you Stretch forward the hand of authority and quickly quell it? Citizens of Lancaster, what would you'do if an infamous niob should rise up in these streets to destroy valuable property and imperil precious life? I make no doubt that you•would take down the muskets and rifles, still remaining among you, and with the point of the bayonet or with too use of ammunition drive back and put down such a mob. And you would do right. Self-protection would demand such a course. And in this case it is a stern• duty. As Luther remarked on one occasion; 'May God help us, we cannot do otherwise." That glagj!) l l92v"anu4t Iloat i :Aualifuterpmeut must be mat ed. . [Cheers.] Our ITitiii3 Mat, be preserved and perpetuated in all itt puri ty and integ rity. - [Cheers.] Millions may be spent, ndreds of thousands of lives may be sacrificed, a whole generation may be blot ted out, and still we insist thatr it is of the very first consequence that our nationality be vindicated. ["Good," and cheers.] Now I apprehend that it bi with this great prin ciple in view we arc assembled • and associa ted this afternoon. A remark of Col. For ney's brought to my mind a circumstance which transpired many years ago. It is said that in a military engagement which occur red somewhere near the boundary line which .43 • .. 1 1. l2 Lad Scotland a •ouno• chieftain fell just at the moment w en, at the head of his troop, he was furiously and successfully charging the foe. His comrades in arms, seeing him fall, were immediately seized with coristernation, and began to re tire in confusion Witnessing this, his soul immediately filled with sorrow, and,although he was feeble, he managed with some effort to raise himself upon his elbow, and while the life-blood was fast gushing from the gap ing wound, while eternity - was opening be fore him, he seized his sword and waving it over his head, shouted at the top of his voice, "My boys, lam not dead l lam not dead, but I am looking to see that every man does his duty." [Cheers ] So Tam here this af ternoon to say that our Union is not dead.— She has been wounded, foully and fearfully wounded; and, observe, too, in the house of' her friends. Still she is not dead. Hear it you daughters and sons of Lancaster, she is not dead—never dead; but sword in hail, she is looking to see that every citizen does his duty. [Great 'applause.] She, is look ing to ascertain whether, in this time of ex igency, we will rally ti) the rescue- ' wheth er in this, the darkest hour of the Republic, we will come up united to the help of free dom and the help of God. For, remember, this is the cause of truth ; this is the cause of justice; this is the ,cause of freedom; this is the cause of Union; this is the cause of' God. [Cheers.] I insist that God is al ways on the side oftruth and justice and freedom. Will you not then, will not . you, will not all these young men and citizens, esteem it at mice an obligation, and a privi lege, and a joy to consecrate their energies, their substance, their time, their lives and their all upon the altar of our country's cause? [Cheers.] Allusion has been made to the patriot daughters of Lancaster. God bless them ! I see them in these windows and assembled in the vicinity rf this stand. God bless them ; Fathers, wives, daughters, sisters collected here, we have sonic faint idea of the sacrifice you are called upon to make, and of the sufferings which you, in the prov idence of God, must still. undergo, Still, I trust that a majority of you have the spirit j of that mother in • Philadelphia, who said, the other day, "What arc sous worth with out a country ?" [Cheers.] I trust you have the spirit of a friend and former parish loner of mine in the borough of Harrisburg, who has sent six stalwart-sons,to the scene of strife. Just before they - left home and their mothers presence they assembled in a photographic gallery anti had their pictures taken, the eldest son standing in the midst of his other brothers, and grasping the flag of the stars and stripes, and that picture left With the mother, is an evidence of 'undying affection.: I think, too, in-'this connection of a. mother in the State of New York, whose son, the other day, proceeded, to the seat-of '.war. He was connected with the Sheppard Rifles, Colonal Pereira commanding: It so occured that the young man's position' was 'at, the end of the platoon, near the curbstone and theWiother anxious 'to be With him as long as' he remainedia.New-York,-took her 'place at side. As 'theliegirnent ' moved 'along Fourteenth street; and &own Broad 'way, that heroic old 'Aniericau Mother Walk :6d with her 'bey,' keeping'Step To relieve him while she COnld,:idie took'his mn-ket froUrhishand, and shick ifovei her old shoulder, and so she marched•with him, 'side by - side, carrying his miiSket ;' and' the boy was' so unich-movedwith •her devotion that the ears literally iXlii dOw . his. ebeeks.

[Applause.] As the last speaker remarked, it is :a glentny hour in out Country's history; but I , appre .hend, my fellowe itiomrthat - ifrok - over the events of the last fifteen months tve still find reason for thankfulness. Is it nothing that effemaney, Nyhich was beginning to curse our citizency, has met so powerful and sufficient' an antidote? Is it' nothing that that spirit of insubordination 'which has been so painfully rife in our 'happy land, and which is, pethaps, one of the very causes of our present troubles, is receiving so effectu al a cheek ? Is it nothing thift our patriot isth, which seemed almost cold, is to-day burning with a brilliant flame? That that sentiment which had almost died out has be come a principal passion in the nation's heart! I take it upon myself to say that there have' been more acts of moral heroism in this land, within the last fifteen months, than in all our history previously. [Cheers.] And is this nothing? Is 'it - nothing 'that success from time to time has crowned our arms ? Is it nothing that Nashville is ours ? Is it nothing that Memphis is ours? and New Or leans is ours, and Norfolk - 1s ours, and Win chester is ours and the Shenandoah Valley is ours, and that Richmond is, we trust 'and issoon'& 'be ours? [Cheers.] Is 'it ing thaElhat flag which we all loire so '.the way, I am just hero re- Minded 'of e ti.se t of a, rebel 'prisoner who saidlit'Ufriend o ; "that when they came within sight of the old flag th - er. -wear.° very likely to feel weak in the knees.— [Laughter and applause.] • I say is it 'noth ing that that grand -old flag; on the last fourth of July, floated in every one of .the' thirty-four States ? [Cheers.] Is all that nothing? [Great applause.] Some of you, perhaps, have heard of a very remarkable iron egg, said to be still preserved in the city of Dresden. There is a legend connected with this egg, which runs somewhat to this effect: On a certain occasion, a prince sent the iron egg to -his he-rove' : • • • :• . looked at it, and becoming entirely disgusted with so rude a present, she flung it in gust upon the ground. As it struck the. earth, a secret spring was touchdd, and lo I a silver yolk rolled forth from the egg. As she gathered up the yolk, she touched anoth er secret spring, and lo! a 'ruby crown ap peared. She touched a secret spring in the ruby crown, and lo ! her eyes were blessed with the sight of' a magnificent marriage dia mond ring. So let me remind you that this nation from the halid of God's Providence seemed te• have received an iron egg—an egg all crusted with tears and clotted with Woo& but lo! with the dismatitling of Sumpter ) a• secret spring was touched, and a silver yolk appeared, which, like a shield of patriotism, spread all over the Northern States of this great and glorious Union: A secret spring in the silver yolk of patriotism was touched, and instead of one golden chicken we have a brood. McClellan, (cheers.]-11alleck, Banks, Burnside; Hunter Foote, Farragut, Grant, Buell, and many others whom I might and perhaps ought Co name. [Cheers.]— Now those golden chickens are each one bringi.ng - forth a ruby croft of victory.— Mc C lellau, Yorktown; Mika, Corinth; Banks, Winchester; Burnside, Roanoke and Newborn; Grant, Forts Henry and Donelson; Buell, Shiloh; Foote, Island No. 10; and Far ragut—not a very pretty name, b certainly a very pretty deed—has given us Ne Or leans. Hach one has contributed his ruby to make up a great crown of victory, and when the secret spring in that crown shall be touched the ring of the Union will appear still unbroken, and rendered mere beautiful . and valuable than ever before by the addi tion of the sparkling diamond of universal - [Trethendous applause.] " e;ott,l iK vinishing from the day ; Le ! the right is about to conquer— Clear the w iy 1" Men of thought, men oractiou, clear the .Way !

The . Dying Scadier. , OR, PEACE IN DEATH. A ,ious_soldier mortal! wounded - in one of the great battles 6* the entnsu a war, was carried ,by two or three attached cot*. rades to the rear of the scene j ot action.— They laid him . unner a tree; unwilling to leave him in such a condition of agony and peril, lingered beside him to see if there was no other act of kindness which they could do. His speech seemed affected; so that he was unable to answer intelligibly to their inqui ries, but he made them understand by signs that he would not wish them to stay with him to the neglect of their post of duty in the battle; Reluctantly they -left him and returned. A little after an officer who had been ha-tily summoned from a distance to join the action, rode past. He pulled up on ' seeing a.fellow countrymen alone and bleed ing to death, and asked if there was nothing he could do for him. The soldier murmur ed something in the negative, and motioned to him also to.go forward. "My poor fellow," said the officer kindly, "If you -are so far gone as to be beyond the reach of help your self, perhapsl could do something for your friends at home; is there no message I could carry flq you to your wife and children ?" At the mention of his flintily a flash of c ,, useiousuess seemed to return to the dying ing man. He said distinctly : "Yes; knap sack—book." The officer dismounted and opened the knapsack beside him. Ile searched for a book in it, and soon thew out a Bible. The soldier continued : "Bead John xtv. 27." The hand which held it was little accus tomed to turn 'over the sacred pages, and slowly, and not without difficulty, the verse was found and read. A radiant and heaven ly smile lighted up the poor :man's features she listened. "There? There !" he ex claimed in thrilling and triumphant tones, "is all I want. I have peace. I am going home; my Saviour is waiting to receive me." The officer gazed on him a moment in speechless astonishment, and then_ remem bering that he ought to have been at his post before new; threw the Bible into the knapsack, sprang into the saddle and was gone. Within.an hour afterward this same officer was curried by his men on a rude' litter, out of the field of battle. lie too, was mortally wounded, and had not spoken until they ap proached tho.tvec where the lifeless remains of the soldier were now stretched on the field. The spot too vividly recalled the 'cir cumstances which had taken place there so short a time before., Passing his hand over his forehead, he was heard to say, in tones of heartfelt anguish : "I haVe no Bible, I have no peace,, there is no Saviour waiting to re ceive me Both of tlitsenn - En •. re, • ersposeil: to the power of the ;'wordill to their Mortal • life fell victims to irk e mir of the prom ise, in the hour of his death, exper ienced the will" of deliverance—his soul .was redeemed from the power of the sword. ,Soyiugs of the Kiny: • : , ; : - ' .-*••••• AAVIFP'§ PRAYEEL..- . -If there, is anything :that; come,4, nearer to the im . ploratiMi of Roth .4 ‘ ,4p,opki,,,than subknued" we havp not seen it.

Would it not please you to pick - tip strings of pearls, drops of gold, diamonds and pre cious stones as you pass along the street?— It would make you feel happy for a month to come. Such happiness you can give to others. How, do you ask? By dropping sweet words, kind 'remarks and pleasant smiles as you pass along. These are' true pearls and precious stones, which can never be lost; of which none can deprive you.— Speak to that orphan child; see the pearls drop from her cheeks. Take the hand of the friendless boy, bright diamonds flash in his eyes. Smile on the sad and dejected, a joy suffuses , his cheek more brilliant than the most precious stones.
