" I
am going to Quit Drinking Runi."
MR. EDITOR :—I hear so much about
quitting drinking rum, in this place,
and yet perceive no change. Now be
candid, Mr. Rum-sucker, and do tell
me if you are ! Well, that is good
news; but when are you going to quit?
"0, to-morrow, I guess !" To-mor
row, you guess ! Why don't you quit
to-day; now—this minute; and resolve
by the help of Heaven, never to touch,
taste or handle another drop of intoxi
cating liquor while you live ? This
talking about what you arc going to
do, amounts to nothing! Going to (1),
and, doing. are two things. So with
your guessing that you shall quit to
morrow ; you may guess that you
shall accomplish a thousand things,
not one of which xvill ever be accoin
(fklicdSuch t is - er •t,
. gabble! —
There is nothing in it worth heatken
ing to. Now, my friend, you may not
live to see to-morrow; for, how often
are we reminded that "in the midst of
life we are in death." - If you really
desire to quit your intemperance, you
must firstresolve and then act, and act
with decision, too. No man ever re
formed yet upon the " going to do"
principle; no man ever reformed by
guessing that, he should quit drinking;
no man ever reformed by waiting for
to morrows, or a more convenient sea
son. There is no time for reforming
like the present; there is no season
more convenient—no day like this day.
Procrastination is exceedingly dan
gerous. The more you delay, the
more difficult will it be to commence
reformation. Quit now! Don't stop
even to become sober—but sign the
pledge, sober off afterwards, and then
bend all your energies to continue in
sobriety. Many a man has signed the
pledge when he was drunk as an owl,
and kept it inviolate. The main point
is to have decision. Only decide that
you will renounce your intemperance,
and the thing is done. There is noth
ing easier than becoming temperate—
and it is a most melancholy reflection
that there are so many drunkards, who,
by a trifling effort, might become use
ft,l and worthy citizens, and not nui
sances, in the community.

" flow lion! it is to hide tlin spark's of natural'
Each man's disposition differs from
all others almost as greatly as do the
treatures of the 'lice. No two disposi
tions can be found exactly similar in
ev er y particular, so that one could not
be distinguibLed from the other.—
' Each person has his 001 peculiar turn
of mind, which cannot possibly be con
cealed. The sparks of nature ' will
flash forth, even though dissemblance
be doubly keen. A man may for a
time hide from public gaze his true
character, but ere long the radiation
of the active furnace within will grad
ually appear on the surface, and very
soon the whole truth will be displayed.
When men suddenly change their sta
tion in life, they often try to change
also their disposition. The man of
morose and haughty temper, if called
upon to occupy a station where calm
ness and moderation arc required, will
I most generally make a vigorous effort
to alter his natural disposition so as to
suit his new position ; but the effort in
almost every case, proves utterly fruit
less. He finds, to hisgreat disappoint
ment, that character when once firmly
established by habitual practice, can
not easily be changed, and certainly
not by one sudden and vigorous effort.
What it has required years to build
up, demands a proportional length of
time to pull down or even to change.
Nor can the real quality of this fixed
nature be concealed for a moment from
those who may have occasion to scri.. ,
tinize it. Not only is it difficult, but
impossible to hide " sparks of na
ture " for any great length of time.—
One word, or even a glance of the eye
may reveal all the excited t•orkings
of the heart and the deep emotions of
the breast. Hypocrisy in its many
colored robe, may succeed for a time,
and laugh in secret over its many and
gross deceptions; but the penetrating
eye of some close observe': will soon
discover the imposition, and reveal the
true nature, whose. "sparks could not
be hidden." It is ot, however, only
in a public point of view that this as
sertion holds true,—for we find the_
same tendency between private indi
viduals. Each one's true nature or
disposition will involuntarily reveal it
self' to the other, and often more clear
ly than could be desired. This fact is
especially observable when two per
sons first begin to form an attachment
fir each other. Uncontrollable admi
ration may at first, prevent all obser
vation of natural qualities which
would be fiend disagreeable, and the
two remain for some time satisfied and
pleased with each other's character;
but soon this first ardor cools down,
and a basis for a more solid attach
ment is begun, while at the same time
judgment resumes her scat, and then,
alas! very often for the first time, be
holds the true but repulsive nature of
the once adored and apparently at
tractive object of attainment. Each
is astonished to find in the other quali
ties and " sparks of nature" altogeth- I
er repugnant to his own, and perceives
in a moment that he has been sadly
disappointed in his inconsiderate
choice. This, perhaps, will account
for the sudden manner in which at
tachments are ate broken off be
tween young friends who, at the first
ebulition of their feelings, seemed en
tirely wrapt up in each other's exist
ence. Blind regard very soon wears
off, and with scrutinizing judgment
they begin to examine each other's
real character, and after this examin
ation, one or the other finds that he
has either been attached merely by ex
ternal appearances, or else has mista
ken hypocritical softness of manners
for amiability of disposition, and in
consequence of this discovery, the at - 1
iachment is suddenly broken off,—
Nothing, moreover, can prevent this
disclosure ; for the " sparks of nature,"
as was said before, willflash forth even
through the thick veil of cautious re
serve which the false friend will attar
assume in order to conceal his true
character.

Union Feeling in Georgia and Alabama
MURFREESBORO, March 15.—A. refu

the beginning of the year, declares
there are thousands in that section of
the country, who are praying for the
success of the Union arms.
All through the northern portion of
his State and Alabama, he reports ter

holders who would gladly give up
their last negro if they could be re

-PERSEVERE.-
Treatment of Disloyal Persons,
Official Despytch from General Halleck
to General Roseerans—Policy to be
Pursued by Our Generals The
Rights and Duties of son-combat
ants.
March 15.—The fol
lowing letter, dated, Headquarters of
the Army, Washington,, D. C., March
5,1863, has been addressed by Major-
General llallcolc to Major General
Roseerans, commanding at Murfrees
boro, Tennessee :
c rE rcat.tr. :—I have just received ?kin
joy Geneva: J. J. Reynold's letter of
February lvwh, with your endorse
ment of FelSruary iQth. The sugges
tion of General Reynolds Gen9T l
Thomas, in regard to the more
treatment of ail disloyal persons
in the lines of your army, are approv
ed. No additional instructions from
these headquarters are deemed neces
sary. You have already been urged
to procure your subsistence, forage,
and means of transportation, so far as
is possible, in the country occupied.—
This you had the right to do without
any instructions. As the commanding
general in 'the field, you have the
power to enforce all the laws and usa
ges of war, however rigid and severe
these may be, unless there be some act
of Congress, regulation, order or in
structions forbidding or resisting such
entbrcemont. As the, general rule,
you must be the judge where it is best
to rigidly apply these laws, and where
a more lenient course is of greater ad
vantage to our .cause. Distinctions,
however, should always be made in
regard to the character of the people
in the district of country which is mil
itarily occupied or passed over. The
people of the country in which you are
'
likely to operate may be divided into
three classes:
First, The truly loyal, who neither
aid nor assist the rebels except under
compulsion, but who favor or assist
the Union forces. Where it can pos
sibly be avoided, this class of persons
should not be subjected to military re
quisitions, but should receive the pro
tection of our arms. It may, howev
er, sometimes be necessary to take
their properly, either Mr our own use
or to prevent its falling into the hands
of the enemy. They will be paid, at
the time, the value of such property,
or, if that be impracticable, they will
het carter be fully indemnified. Re
ceipts should be given for all proper
ty so taken without being paid for.
Second, These who take no active
part nAhe war_bul belong to the Elnss
known in military law as non-combat
war like that now
waged, this class is supposed to sym
pathize with the rebellion rather than
with the Government. There can he
no such thing as neutrality in a rebel
lion. This term is' applicable only to
foreign Po iv CM Such persons, so long
as they commit no hostile act, and
confine themselves to their private av
ocations, are not to he molested by
military forces; nor is their property
to be seized, except as a military ne
cessity. They are, however, suhiect
to fbrced loans and military requisi
tions, and their houses to be let for
soldiers' quarters, and to appropriation
for other temporary military uses.—
Subject to these impositions, the non
combatant inhabitants of a district of
country militarily occupied by one of
the belligerents, are entitled to the
military protection of the occupying
forces; but while entitled to such pro
tection, they incur very serious obli
gations—obligations differing in some
degree from those of civil allegiance—
tuft equally binding. For example,
those who rise in arms against the oc
cupying army '
or against the author
ity established by the same, are reb
els or military traitors, and incur the
penalty of death. They are not enti
tled to be considered as prisoners-of
war when captured ; . their property is
subject to military seizure and milita
ry confiscation. Military_ treason of
this kind is broadly distinguished from
the treason defined in the constitution
al and statuary laws and made pun
ishable by the civil courts. Military
treason, is a military offence, punisha
ble by the common laws of war.—
Again persons belonging to such oc.
cupied territory, and within the mili
tary lines of the occupying forces, can
give no information to the enemy of
the occupying force without proper
authority. To do so, the party not on
ly forfeits all claim to protection, but
subjects himself or herself to be pun
ished either as a spy or a military
traitor, accordlo a ; to the character of
the particular offence. Our treat
ment of such offences and such offend
ers has hitherto been altogether too
lenTent. A more strict enforcement
of the laws of war in this respect is
recommended. Such offenders should
be made to understand the penalties
they incur; and to know that those
penalties will be rigidly enforced.
Third, Those who are openly and
avowedly hostile to the occupying ar
my, but who do not bear arms against
such forces. In other words, while
claiming to be non-combatants, they
repudiate the obligations lucidly or
impliedly incurred by the other inhab
itants of the occupied territory.—
Such persons not only incur all the
obligations imposed upon the other
non-combatant inhabitants of the same
territory, and are liable to the same
punishments fol.. offences committed,
but they may be treated as prisoners
of war, and be subjected to the rigors
of confinement or expulsion, as non
combatant enemies. lam of opinion
that such persons should not, as a gen
eral rule, be permitted to go at large
within our lines. To force'r-those ca
pable of bearing arms to go within the
lines of' the enemy adds to his effec
tive force. To place them in confine
ment will require guards for their safe

keeping, and this necessarily diminish
es our effective forces in the field.—
You must determine in each particu
lar case which course will be most ad
vantageous. We have suffered very
severely from this class, and it is time
that the laws of war should be more
rigorously enfbrced against them. A
broad line of distinction must be drawn
between the friends and enemies-4e
tween the loyal and disloyal.
The foregoing remarks have refer
ence only to militarystatutes and mil
itary offences under the laws of war.
They are not applicable to civil offen•
ces under the constitution and gener
al laws of the land. The laws and
usages of civilized war must be your
guide in the treatment of all classes of
persons of the country in which your

Speech of Benj. H. Brewster,
At the Great Philadelphia Demonstra
Lion at Musical Fund Hall on WO
nesday Evening, 11 - arch llth.
31r. Chairman and Fellow-citizens of
Philadelphia: Nothing but a convic
tion that I had a serious duty to per
form could have brought me here this
night. From my experience of politi
cal organizations, and my distrust of
the use to which public meetings are
generally applied, I would rather not
be responsible for the purposes of the
one or the ends of the other. The or
ganization that convened this large as
sembly, and the aim you have in view,
are not open to such reflections. For
some time past I have believed that
just such an association wits needed,
and that just Ruch a gathering was in
dispensable to rouse the public to a
consciousness of the danger into which
traitors and the abettors of treason
were hurrying the destinies of our be
loved country. [Applause.] Most
gladly, then, I have conic here to meet
you, and consult with you about the
means best suited to frustrate these
evil designs. Many such meetings
muss, be held, awn he mind and heart of
the public made to fuel the peril of its
position. [Applause.]
• Last fall, on my return from Europe, I
I was amazed and shocked to see how
daringly the advocates and apologists I
fur traitors and their base deeds were
snatching at the reins of authority,'
with the _avowed purpose of surrender- I
in,c' the honor of their country, and the
rights of the human ,race, to traitors
and the enemy of mankind. Oh, gen
tlemen. you cannot well feel the sting
of this rebellion until you have seen,
as I have seen, and heard, as I have
heard, the exultAions of our rivals and 1
natural foes who live across the water.
Here you may be excited by the out- •
rages of you know of, by the sufferings
of Out army, by the re , istaace to the
law, by the avowed hatred of North-
ern Mel) and Northern institutions that
is constantly proclaimed by the rebels
and their leaders. But then your feel
the greatest wrong of all is, that from I
this rebellion oar free institutions have
been scoffed at as a failure, and we are
now derided as a race of vulgar plebe
ians, rushing in a downward course of I
ruin through anarchy to despotism.
how this uhholy strife has palsied
the heart of triuitio r , , , , , hoping millions
who have looked with joy at the bright
rays of our glory as it came streaming
across the stormy Atlantic, guiding
them as a star to happier homes?—
[Applause.] Oh ! what a fearful crime
has this been against the dignity of
mankind! How basely have these men
testified in favor of despotism and
against the holy cause of human ,
rights ! [Applause.] A few days
since, when reading the admirable let=
tors of Mr. Dayton, our Minister to
France, I saw, with a, sense of pain
that was increased by the recollection
that he was describing all that I had I
suffered when he alluded to the de- I
spon.leney expressed and felt by all
loyal men in Europe, far away from
home, heard of the disasters of our
arms, and felt and heard the sneers of
all Europe banded against us and our
cause, hounded on by the false reports
and cowardly exaltations of fugitive
traitors who had fled their homes to
find a refuge abroad from the doom
of the treason they encouraged and,
upheld.
No one who had ever felt the sharp
sorrow of such reproaches can help but
resent the lawless combinations of
Northern men to stimulate traitors in
the field by hopes of divided councils
at the North. For my part, I care
not with whom I act, or where I am
found, so that I act with those who
will sustain the law and stand by those
who were lawfully chosen to adminis
ter it, and so that I am found with
those who will, as Northern men, born
on Northern soil, bred and cherished
by a Northern community, spurn those
who spurn them, and spit on those
who betray their birthright and de
ntine their fbllows, whilst they live
under the protection df a Government
that guards too well their worthless
bodies and protects their property
that should be confiscated for sympa
thy with treason. [Long-continued
applause.]
At first, when the Republicans en
tered the gates of. office, with the ex
ultant shouts of a triumphing party,
when some of its zealots, in their wild
excitement, proclaimed opinions that
were opposed to the constitutional com
promises, men attached to the Demo
cratic party might masonably hesitate
to act with them, and dread-to give
countenance to covenant ,breakers.
[Applause.] Their old party obliga-
TERMS, $1,50 a year in advance.
tions might well restrain them from
acknowledging the supremacy of new
officers, who were supposed to repre
sent men with whom and measures
with which they had been in open con
flict for years. [Applause.]
They might hesitate, and bravely
hesitate, to fbllow in the crowd of an
excited and indignant Northern public,
hoping that, by their refusal to act,
they could still maintain a party alle
giance and a party action, that would
show a good purpose, to deter rash ac
tion by their old allies and associates
in the South. [Applause.] But when
thilt day had gone by; when they had
followed southern men to the edge of
the law, for the sake of the law; when
they saw that the wrath of the north
ern public was not a partisan rage, but
was the just sentiment of outraged
men ; then to hesitate was mean; to
oppose and organize opposition ; to tra
duce officials acting in good faith un
der trying circumstances, and to
preach of peace, peace, when there Was
no peace, was treason dud tinmahlY
surrender ofthe noblest'principles that
ever then bravely by, • and in
which were centered the hopes of the
human race. [Applause.] -
I am a Northern man—bone of my
bone—flesh of my flesh, I am for them,
and I wort!'! he a daStard and a
. dog
if I consorted IstltChbse who def:cm6
and revile them. I come of a race of
mon who proudly boast a pedigree
that has been honored by historical as
sociation with every struggle in Eng
land for the cause of popular liberty.
[Cries of " That's so."] Ancestors'of
mine were conspicuous in the uprising
of the Bollards, and followed the im
mortal Wickliffe in his struggle for the
right of private judgment and the lib
erty of conscience; and when Charles
expiated his falsehood and treachery
upon the block, my kinsmen sat in the
Parliament of England, descendants
of Franklin's, vindicating coffin the
freedom they bad inherited as a spe
cial property.
Years before that, driven by relig
ious persecution and political tyranny
across the dark and stormy Atlantic,
came that band of pilgrims fromwhose
head and leader I proudly trace my
lineage. [Cheers.] The first act of
that band of sages, heroes and saints
was, by solemn league and covenant
to bind them and theirs to obey the
law. True to my blood, I have kept
their covenant. When slavery was
the law, I stood by the law. (Cheers.)
And when treason absorbed that law,
I stood up and now stand up to-night
for that higher law, the law of self
preservation, the law of obedience to
constituted anthority, the law of
ally to the Constitution, and love for
ny,,,lneland its ple. (Cheers.)
"Breathes there a nutrililisoulsa dead
That never to himself hash said,
This is my own, my native land?"
1 am a Yankee of Yankees, and I
glory in it; and the man who reviles
them reviles the best blood and the
best men that have made illustrious
the history of his country and the
cause of popular liberty. [Deafening
cheers.] I would have the country as
it was if I could have it so ; but since
rebellion has reared its horrid front,
and struck down the law that shelter
ed us all and sheltered it, I am for
striking slavery dead, as it is the pre
text of this great wrong. [Loud and
long continued applause.] There is
not a principle of the Government that
I would not deliver over to instant
death if it were the - cause of such foul
treason as tbis principle ofinvoluntary
servitude has been. [Applause.] Who
have these rebels wronged ? Their
country ? Yes. Human rights ?
Yes. Northern men? Yes. But of
all others, their wrong to Northern
Democrats was the meanest and foul
est. With a majority in both branch
es of Congress they left; and their ex
cuse was, they could not trust North
ern Democrats.
If they cannot trust us, why shall
we trust them, and why shall we en
courage them, red handed and in arms
against the State itself? From the
day that_this government was formed,
they have, with but ono exception,
ruled and controled the official power
of our nation, and that exception was
the Administration of the elder Adams.
With that exception they have direct
ly controlled and guided the policy of
the Government. The very" changes
that have from time to time taken
place have been the result of their own
changes of opinion, legislated by their
own majorities, and executed by offi
cials who represented their wishes;
and yet with all this, when, for the
first time for a fullitalf century, they
lost the patronage of the Government,
and still had full sway over the legis
lative branches with which they could
check, control, and hinder the Execu
tive, they abandoned their trust, and
basely struck a blow at the liberties
of their country, abandoned their po
litical allies, and made the principles
of republican democracy a scandal and
reproach. [Aaplause.]
Are these the men we shall act with
or have pity for, or excuse, or justify ?
[Cries or No, never ! never !] Never !
I would prosecute this war to reduce
rebellion and punish traitors, and I
never, never will consent to. see our
great Republic and its vast territory
to establish a second rate and hostile
power, that, by treaties with our ene
mies abroad, shall control the naviga
tion of the Gulf of Mexico, close up the
mouth of the Missis . sippi, and shut us
out from intercourse with 'our Pacific
front, where we are now just about to
compete in triumphant rivalry with
England for the commerce of the In
dies, the source of all her wealth and
all her modern power, as it has 'Seen
the treasury of wealth to all nations
that have enjoyed its commerce. [Ap
plause.]
