I ; We all desire peace—for to none are
the note Of war plearant music. Even
fo® war-worn hero,, blackened .by the
,ffD«he of battle, when the sound of the
eiath of arms has died away, reposing
upon the field of the victor, sighs for the
returning dawn of peace. He looks back
to hi® own pleasant home, the enjoypients
..of which he has exchanged for the. hard
ships and perid ot the field, and breaths
a prayer to God for the speedy coming of
that boor, when he may again drop the
sword and grasp the plough--when he
nay lay down hi® musket and take up
his hammer—when he may part from his
comrades, though endeared to them by
long months of companionship, and the I
commondangers they have escaped, and |
embrace again the loved ones that cluster
around his own hearth stone. And the
wife and children, the parents, sisters and
brothers of the loved ones. Oh how they
look forward to the time, when the clouds
that now over-spread our national sky
and ever cast their sombre shadow o'er
evisry home, may roll back and the sun
light of peace fail upon them pgain.
Por then with joy upon the mountain
tops, the wife, the mother, the sister
would stand and await the coming of the
sturdy mountaineer. In the valley prapa
.rations would be made to welcome back
soldier .friends to avocations of peace— to
welcome them back from war to hus
bandry. And in the city archways of
lanrel intertwined with beauteous flowers
would span the streets with smiles and
welcomes would greet those returning ones
who passed along. peace would be
hailed wi(h joy and crowned with bless
i,igs, Hut with all this glowing picture be
fore iw, .we are yet led to feel that “ peace”
is not “so sweet, as to be purchased at the
price ofehains and slavery.” Yet there
seem to be those in our mijst who would
pay the price, and secure perhaps for
party ends alone, the coveted boon.-
Their course very much reminds us of j
the youlig man who bought a watch,
second-handed, for twenty-five cents, and
afterwards paid at various times, twenty
dollars for repairs and then had only a
worthless piece of mechanism, while at
first he might have paid twenty-five dol
lars and had a reliable time-keeper.
Ihoee that cry compromise, compromise,
compromise, would buy peace fora song,
tlam shed oceans of blood in its enjoy
.mentK’j and have no peace, but continued
bickerings, arid jealousies and untold mis
eries at last.
„ While if now they give their whole
ft#pnrt Ip the government, if each one
layv his shoulder to the wheel, the indi
cations ,are that soon we may have a
peace which we can depend upon—a peace
wp can prize—a peace of which we
can be proud—a peace that will he a
blessing to us and our posterity forever.
-Who in this houp, then, is willing to
sacrifice the future happiness and glory of
pur country, for a present and only tem
porary lull in the storm of war—who so
t.«lse as ,to.cry peace, |cacc, when there
can as yethe no peace, x
Tint Vartiso of Two Heroes.—A com
ponSeM relate* the following incident of,the battle
stfl(Auhii|: At the close of the bloody battles,
while thousands of the soldiers were lying side by
ride, andjwfote even officers could seek, and
speak to their bleeding and dying friends, the com
mand came to purtnelbe flying confederates.
Miyor General Howard,. in command of the
coipa, hastened to the bedside of
Capt. 6riffitb, of his staff, between whom and the
General a; strong personal attachment existed, to
tSdtafcls laK farewell. He closed the door, and
after a brief interchange of sympathies, the Gen
eral twdtiiis Hew'Testament and read to him the
fourteenth chapter of John. He then knelt in
prayer and commended his wounded friend to his
covenant .keeping God; and rising from his knees,
£jfS»dihim in one long, fond, weeping embrace.
Thus the heroes |«ncd. One went to seek the
rebels against bis Government; the other died in
a few days fat peifect peace, cordially acquiescing
in.Gt*ft will, and firmly relying on the marits of
bis saviour.

Letter from President Lincoln.
—to a directly opposite
belief. The strength of the H.-h-llion is its mili
tary, its aimy. That army dominates all the
country and all the people widiin i s range. Anv
otter of tet ms made by any man or men within
that range, in opposition to that army, is simply
nothing for the present, iieeause such man or
men hare no power whatever to enforce their side
of a compromise, if one were made with them.—
To illustrate—suppose a refugee from the South
and the jieace men of the North get together in
convention and frame and proclaim a compro
mise embracing a restoration of the Union, in
what way can that compromise lie used to keep
Gen. Lee’s ai my out of Pennsylvania? General
Meade's army can keep Lee’s army out of Penn
sylvania, and I think enn nl.imatelv drive it out
of existence ; hut no |iaper compromise to which
the controllers of General L_“e s annv are not
agreed can at all affect that army, In' an effort
to such compromise we would waste the time,
which the enemy would improve to our disadvan
tage, and that would lie all.
A compromise, to lie effective, must be made
either with those who control the Keitel army, or
with-the people, first liberated from the domina
tion of that army by the success of on. armv.
Now allow me to insure you that no word or in
timation from the Keitel arm;, or from anv of the
men controlling it, in relation to any peace com
promise, Ims ever come to my knowledge nr telicf.
All charges and intimations to the contrary are
deceptive and groundless, and I promise you’ that
if any such propositions shall hereafter come, it
shall not tie rejected and kept secret front von. I
freely acknowledge myself to bo the servant of the
people, according to the bond of service, the United
States Constitution, and . that as such I am re
sponsible to them.
But, to he plain, you are dissatisfied with me
about the negro. Quite likely there is a differ
ence of opinion itetween yon and myself upon that
subject. I certainly wish that all men could he
free, while you, I suppose, do not. Vet I have
nei.lter adopted nor proposed any measure which
is not consistent wi h even your views, provided
yitn are for the Union. I suggested compemated
emancipation, to which yon replied that von
wished nut to be taxed to liny negroes. Bill I
1 had not asked you to be laxetl to buy negroes, except
j in such a way as to save yon front greater taxa—
( :ion to save the Union exclusively hv the other
I means. Yon dislike the Emancipation Procla
| mm ion. and pet Imps yon want to have it retracted.
Yon say it is nmiinsiiimion.tl. I think differently.
I think ti nt the Constitution invests its Com
mander-iti-Chief with the law of war in time of
war. The most that can be said, if so much, i-,
that slavery is property.
I- thei*e. Ims there ever been any question that
by Ihe law of war tbc pio|«rty both of enemies
ami f tends may tie taken when needed, and is it not
needed whenever, taken, it helps us or hurts tht
■ enemy? Armies the world ever destroy cn, mils’
pro|ierlv when they cannot use it, and’ even de
stroy their own to keep it fiom the enemy. Civ
ilized belligerents do all in their power to help
themselves or Inin the enemy, except a few things
regarded as ha barons nr cruel Among the ex
ceptions arc the massacre of vanquish'd foes and
non-combatants, male an I female. But the proc
lamation, as law, is valid nr is not valid. If it is
not valid it needs no retraction. If it is valid jt
cannot iia retracted any more than the dead can
la l brought to lit.*. Some of yon profess to think
that its retraction would o|»*ratc favorable for the
Union, Why better after the rcliaction than be
fore the issue ?
There was more limn a year and a half for
trial to suppress the K.tellioti before the procla
mation was issued ; the last tine hundred days of
which passed under an explicit notice that it was
coining unless averted by those in revolt returning
to their allegiance. The war was certainly pro
gressed as favoiably for us since the issue of the
proclamation us before. I know as fully as one
can know the opinions of others, that some of the
commanders of our armies in the field who have
given ns our most ini|ortsm victories, believe the
emancipation poll*;; and the aitl of colored troops
ciinstitutes the heaviest blows yet dealt to the Ite
licllion; anil at least one of those important suc
cesses could not have Itcen achieved when it was,
hut for the aid of black soldiers. Among the
commanders holding these views are some wlm
have never had any affinity with what is called
Atelitinnism, or with the ’Republican party poli
tics, hnt who hold them purely as military opin
ions. I submit their opinions as I icing entitled
to some weight against the objections often urged
that emancipation arid the arming of the blacks
are unwise as military measures, and were not
adopted as such in gin’s) faith. You sav that von
wilf not fight to free negroes. Some of’them seem
to be willing to fight for you; hut no matter
fight you, then, exclusively, to save the Union.
I issued tite proclamation on purpose to aid von
in saving the Union. Whenever yon shall have
conquered all resistance to the Uiiion, if I shall
urge you to continue fighting, it will lie an apt
time tor you to declare that you will not fight to
free negroes. I thought that in your struggle fo*
the Union, to whatever extent the negroes should
cease helping the enemy, to that extent it weak
ened the enemy in his resistance to von. Do vou

Yours truly,
East Tennessee is. Oars
The news of the oecupu. ion of Knoxville, East
Tennesse, comes to u» in sueh unq.iestionablo
shape, that we have no room for douh . We are
the more cha-incd at this d**cistveyel hloodiess re
sult, lieeause it has happened eimirarv to our and
everylmdy s expectations. The rebel press, and
evety requirement ot milita v njeessi v, led all to
believe that the great military trunk road bitween
Virginia and the Southwest, and the important
strategic region of East Tennessee, would have
been held to the last extremity. Toe life of the
rebellion depended ttjsiri it. As we remarked the
other day, we would consider tue occupation of
Knoxville, by Burnside, without a terrible strug
gle, the liest possible proof of the weakness and
total collapse ot the rebellion. So we mast now
regard it, and mir great wonder is what conceiva
ble plan of defence the relicls may have devised
which can- excuse the fatal lethargy which seems
to parnlize toeir * (forts, and to keep their armies
crouching in fear for the next blow to be dealt
litem. Can it lie that those armies are so weakened
by wholesale desertions that they cannot moke a
stand, or so demoralized and, panic-stricken that
they will not make a stand ?
Gen. Burnside's march was a severe one, and it
required greater courage and more power of en
durance to accomplish it, than to fight and win
a battle m the field. Mil the 2!) h the artnv was
in the barren region with only six day’s rations
for the men, and hut one due's forage for horses
and moles. Jr was then la-iieved that serious op
position wouhl he made by the rebels to their onward
movement; but there, as elsewhere, of late, the
enemy has displayed his running qualities,' and
succeeded in mating good his escape. What the
evacuation of Knoxville, and the surrender, with
out a s niggle, or even the sign of resistance, of the
Tennessee an I Virginia railroad—,t line of incal
ettlahle im)a>rtuiicc to the rebels, mean, it is hard,
in the absence of details ol the latest movements,
to say. Any tfoops which Lee may have detached
and sent forward cannot now get beyond Knox
ville, nor, if they have already' pnsseti Knoxville
and gone to Chattanooga, can they get back to
the Rapidan, except by the roundabout wav of
Charleston and Richmond.
It is related that before Burnside entered
Knoxville, Minty s brigade from Rosecrans* annv
joined him. This is important as indicating that
Rosecrans and Burnside are in close communion,
and effectively co-operating together for the more
complete defeat of the enemv. Jl jsocrans has
been closing in on Chattanooga from all sides
hut chiefly South of the Tennessee, and was ex
pected to have reached it on the Silt. Burnside
has doubtless by this time advanced southward
below Loudon, and will he either in position to
prevent a rebel flank movement northward around
Roseerai.’s lines, or todireetly aid ill the assault on
Uiattamiogu. That willdegiciid tqion the iiosition
ot Bragg’s and Johnston’s army, which at la“t ac
counts was centered at Chattanooga. We have
no doubt hut that the rebel leadcis will soon tin
f .1. their strategy ; but we think On. Rosecrans
will prove a maUt for them. Whether he can
setve all connection .between Chatmmajga and
Rome and Atlanta. Ga.. remains to lie seen but
we doubt not he will attempt it. We ought to
hear some decisive news 10-day or 10-monow.
Where will the rebels tight, and with what force,
are now the questions.
Charleston and Sevastopol.
Hie operations licfme Cimrleston, conducted l>v

There is nothing like an investment, as the Fed

I regard to the ordnance used by the Allies in the
; Siege of the Russian stronghold’ It was the tmex
i nmpled probation of guns of large calibre which
I cs|iectally tits'ingttished the artillery operations of
i the siege of Sevastopol fnmi anv oilier of the kind

I nmre than two thoasaml pieces of heavy oniiunw
( besides the hundreds of field pieces With which

I , K ’“ " l 0 ren ' h army presented itself before the
| place consisted of six y pieces, followed by other
I trams amounting to two hundred and fifty pieces
I The armament most efficient in rendering the
I wotks untenable was a tram of mortars, of which
: the r reach alone had one hundred and twenty 13-
I inch, one hundred and twenty 10-inch, and about
I one hundred 8-tnch. Add to these the English
I siege trim of more than nine hundred pieces, eon
j stating m large part of 68 and 32-jtounders guns
and some tdea may he formed of the storm of shoi
and shell poured upon the works during the three
cays bombardment preceeding the last assault
Next to the mortars,’ the most effective part of t'he
battering train of the Allies consisted of the heavy
guns drawn from the tieets. Of these, the French
butteries had eight 00-)«ttnders, three hundred and I
tlreiy-eigh, 30-poundcrs, (corresponding to ottr I
3. ~) and seventy-one 8-meh bomb cannon of 72
cwt. About two-tlu ds of the ordnance used in
the siege was considered unserviceable at its ter
mination. The French siege guns fired one mil
lion ami a qiumer rounds of all kinds. The per
manent fortifications constructed at Sevastopol he
/ bo * i, '. n ; n K “f war were aU directed to

The Path or Peace. —Gen. Meade, in the
course of his very admirable speech at the sword
presentation on Saturday, said : - I have to re
quest of von, gentlemen, who are in civil life, that,
when yon return home, you will spare no effort* to
make the people understand that all we want are
men to fill up our ranks. Send these to us. Give
us tite numbers and the war will soon he con
cluded. 1 think the retiels are now satisfied that
their straggle is only a matter of lime, as we have
the force on our sale, and that as soon as they see
that w are bringing out that force in earnest thev
will yield.”
The Attack os Mobile.— lt is announced in
I* 1 - 0 lb-leans correspondence of the Chicago

made by three corps, nnider command ot Generals

A?iTCH PHKSKJrrATioN.— On Monday erenir
August 31st, the employees of the !'• R. R. i r
foundry in this place, and other personal fHcil
of C. B. MvCrea, late foreman of the ftarmii
assembled together for the purpose of ptegenii:
\ to that gentleman a beautiful gold cbronotnoi
American lever watch, which was purchased
them for that purpose. It was selected by >1
Henry Van Tries, of Hollidaysburg, who pi
noimced it to be a most excellent tim«»pie<
Engraved upon it is the following
■'Presented to Chas. R. McCrea by the Employe
of the Altoona Iron Foundry, and his pei
friends, in token of our regard.” Aftcrlhe Chai
man, Ja». Mundew, had fluted the ohject of tl
meeting, B. F. Custer, Esq., on behalf of rJ
donors, presented the watch to Mr. McCrea, i
fhe following appropriate remarks:
Fellow Employees—Ours is a world of chang.
.usd the tnitta. ions of time bring many snrprisii
and most Unexpected t urns in the wheel of fijrtum
One of the numerous inexplicable freaks of- tl
proverbially fickle goddess into whose especial ear
the material destiny of man has been given, ha
caused us to assemble here.
On such occasions our emotions are of a two
fold character. We feel pain at the approach!n
separrtionv and gratification in the o)>portniiit
presented of giving expression to our sentiment
of friendship and; esteem. Fleasing as the latte
buy may bel it is, in the present instance, almos
made a task by the reflection that a few days anus
witness the disruption of that daily intercoms
which, during a long course of years has langb
us to know and respect one whose many excetleu
qualities have endeared him to all who have cn
joyed a familiar acquaintance. Some of us havi
' ‘wen intimate with him since his first adveu
among ns, and can testify to the sincerity of hi
friendship and the generosity of his disposition
whilst all can evidence his integrity and morn
worth. In him the C6tn|>any loses one wlum
-vrvices have been invaluable. The founder .>
:he first foundty, the construction of which he su
icrintended, he bus been identified with its inter
'sis here from the beginning, and lues ht
iiseharged his trust. His experience and judg
ment have enabled him to conduct the affairs o
uis department so prudently and cconomieallv in
o convince all that he was eminently qualified for
:he position he now vacates, alter filling it, with
bonor to himselt and profit to the corpoialion, for
eleven years. During jhut time, none among tin
large number of those employed in the Altoona
iron foundry have found cause to complain oi
handiness or injustice from their foreman, bm
many hnvo expressed their gratitude for such an
■if sympathy and kindness as exhibited the good
ucss of his heart. There is no stain upon tin
is-ord of Charles U. .McCrea, and it is therefor
proper that we, appreciating Ids, high character
-hall cany out the design of giving him a snhstan
isl testimonial of our regard, for which purpo
se have now met.
Mr. McCrea— To me has been delegate)' the
■ery agreeable duty of presenting ic you this test i
:nonial—the inscription u|ion which will tell it>
history. 1 will not multiply words, but simply
say: Take this gift, as a free will offering from
■>ld friends, who know—and knowing, esteem and
I'.ve. you. Wear it for their sakes, and as the
wars it notes pass rapidly away, let each dav re
*ew in you pleasant remembrances of those afotrnd
;"u. They feel that such a monitor will not be
necessary to remind you of “Auld Lang Syne."
!, nt desire you to keep it as a memento of an ac
quaintance which they hope is but temporarily
Jistorbeji. Should it be renewed, old friends will,
on your return, welcome you with open hearts—
out should wc never meet again th- benisons of
-nch and all will follow yon in your journeying.-
through '‘ life, and ■ even beyond the gates of the.
“ Valley of the Shadow of Death."
To which Mr. responded as follows:
Gontlkmen.— As yon all know I am more a
man of action thah of words and can do mure in
die foundry than on the platform. I feel myself
utterly incompetept to do justice to the eloquent
remarks accompanying this beautiful gift. X shall
sear it constantly and proudly, and never forget
*he generosity of the friends around me. As has
just been said, I have been connected with-this
foundry for eleven years, and during that time 1
have always endeavored, to the best of my ability,
10 do equal and exact justice, bb;h to the work
men and the company. lam now about to leave
you—not from any desire for change, hut because
u is mv dnty, in common with all men, to benefit
myself and fumilv, peci niarily, wh. never I ran,
and I may say that I believe the change I am
shoo making will result much to my advantage.
To ho workmen who nave been so long associated
"th me I wish to say that I desire them to render
'o my successor the ever reedy and able service
they have given /tie and which has contributed so
largely to the prosperity of the foundry, and fur
ther, I earnestly desire each and all to place firm
kith in the justice of the Pennsylvania Railroad
-Pmpany, for I doj not believe, as has been asserted,
that the longer a man is in its employ the less he
11 respected. 1 also wish to moke a public denial
of the charge that I have endeavored to persuade
any of the workmen to go with me to Philadelphia,
a nd if there he ativ here whom I have approached
on this subject I wish him to proclaim the fact
now. r -
* •*» do oratoij and feel that I fall far abort of
waking such a response as this bjamiful gift aiid
derapnaration deserve. I would
??J*v *»)' taore.imt teel myself unable to give ut
‘Wance to the many ideas which pass through my
?**“• For this I elegant testimonial 1 lender my
“Cwrtfelt and sincere thanks, and whenever I look
r„ir * reiterate the wish, that .prosperity max
follow y„n and yours forever.
