Patriotic Sentiments by a Lutheran
Clergyman.
The Baltimore Lutheran Observer has a cor
respondent in tliis city—generally believed to
be the Kev. E. TV. llittkr, of St. Matthew’s
Church. Troni his last letter we extract tile
following patriotic views on the all-absorbing
question of tiie day:
THE PRESENT ASPECT OF THE WAR.
It scarcely admits of argument that the en
tire temper and spirit of the Northern mind,
and the unanimous wishes of all its reflecting
men, ever since our existence as a nation,
Lave been on the side of peace. This was
clearly seen in the war of 1812. The mother
country had committed many and severe ag
gressions upon Northern men ami property.
These aggressions they suffered with a degree
of patient endurance which, to those unac
quainted with their real character, appeared
to proximate so closely to pusillanimity that
they were often taunted with a willingness to
sell their birthright of freedom for a bale of
merchandise. But into the characteristic
sluggishness of the Northern mind there
was gradually infused a new leaven. For
bearance at length ceased to he a virtue j and
from an apparent dcath-like torpor the indig
nation of the cold-blooded Northmen rose to
the highest pitch—flu- exceeding in intensity
the war-fever of the South. These aroused
impulses were soon communicated to the Go
vernment, and were followed by an immediate
and successful appeal to arms.
Tlic same generous aversion to war has cha
racterized the people of the North from that
day to the present. They have preferred the
pursuits of peaceful and honest industry. With
almost unbroken unanimity, they have rested
in the conviction that their mission was best
fulfilled by promoting the arts and sciences,
commerce and agriculture, the education of
youth, erecting churches and school-houses,
and by the diffusion of a sound morality and a
pure and unadulterated Christianity. One con
sequence of these preferences for peace has
been the almost total abandonment of the mi
litia system, the disbanding of volunteer corps,
and the neglect of even those ordinary means
of defence common to the most peaceful and
secure communities. The present rebellion,
lienee, found most of the Northern States com
paratively unprepared. Pennsylvania was
wholly so. Her State Arsenal had become a
mere receptacle of dust and cobwebs. The
few muskets stored in it were not only rusty,
but unadapted to percussion caps, and scarcely
one in fifty would have brought down a spar
row or a squirrel. All this while, the South,
having rebellion steadily in view, under the
instigation of reckless and ambitious leaders,
was as industrious in the augmentation of her
military resources, and in the development of a
martial spirit, as the North was careless and
indifferent. And to these causes, too, more
than to any other, must be ascribed whatever
temporary successes have attended the rebel
lion.
But, let it not for a moment be supposed
that these pacific sentiments of the North will
ever influence the return of the sword to the
scabbard, until the integrity and stability of
the nation shall have been fully vindicated.
That sword was unsheathed in deep sorrow,
not in anger, and in the sheerest self-defence.
Upon its success depends not only the glory
and future safety of tlio American Union, but
Its very existence, as one of the “ powers” of
the earth. To tliis complexion it lias come at
last, that cither this Union and this Govern
ment must he preserved, by the force of arms,
or they must be suffered ignominiously to fail.
Either the stars and the stripes must float o ver
our valleys and from our liill-tops, or the trai
tor-emblem of Secession. Which shall it be ?
On this continent two empires cannot co-exist.
There is here no right hand for Abraham to
take, and no left for Lot. Either the one or
the other must succumb. Events are impe
rial. Men do not command, but obey them.
Such being the issue forced upon the North,
by the inexorable logic of history, she must
prosecute this defensive war, and continue to
prosecute it, until one or the other section is
overcome. Suppose, by party divisions, the
arm of the Government be palsied, and its
measures of defence be suffered to drag hea
vily, and then terminate ingloriously, what has
the country to expect from the triumph of
Southern arms ? What else than the destruc
tion of its nationality ? What else tjian the over
throw of free representative government, not
only here, but throughout the world ? What
else tlian the total obliteration of free speech,
and a free press, aiul free suffrage, and the erec
tion on their ruins of a monarchy, in w hich the
rebel leaders shall figure as dukes, and earls, and
emperors, and the laboring classes, white and
black, shall never he allowed to rise above the
level of “ hewers of wood and drawers of wa
ter?” This is the real purpose of tlufrebellion,
at all times only half disguised, and often
boldly avowed. The pretence that this rebel
lion is to assert the sacred right of self-govern
ment is a monstrous falsehood. Not a solitary
wrong, real or imaginary, has the South ever
complained of for -which she would not have
received the amplest redress in the Union. She
has sustained no wrong from Government, none
from the Executive, none from Congress, none
from the Judiciary, and none from the People.
Hence, the attempt to overthrow the fairest
and best Government ever devised by the wis
dom and valor of man is as gross a piece of
diabolism as this world has ever beheld. The
North demands ofthe-Soutli nothing but what
is just and equitable, and tliis she is as willing
to concede. But she will never suffer traitors
and demagogues to destroy the Republic whilst
she has a dollar to spend or a life to spare. If
the North were doing what the South is now
attempting, she ought to send her armies
hither, into every city, town, and hamlet, and
chastise us into decency, and we believe she
would. Will she, then, when we are seeking
to prevent her from doing what slie would
never have suffered us to do, presume to affirm
that right and justice and truth are not on our
Bide ? Whatever, under their temporary in
fatuation, her people may now think or say, we
predict there is a “ good time ” coming, when
they will confess their mistake in sorrow, cover
themselves with sackcloth, and wish that the
gigantic misdeeds of the year 1861 could ho
forever expunged from their annals.
And now, viewing this rebellion, first in the
motives and methods of its inauguration, and
next at the efl’eets of Federal defeat, or an
ignominious peace, shall the North recede ?
Shall she withdraw her armies and acknow
ledge the independence of the Confederate
States? Impossible! As surely as there is a
God in heaven, the path of present duty con
ducts only through the field of war, no matter
how bloody and how sanguinary. For the
salvation of the Republic, just now, there is
no other way, none other to re-establish
even with the South relations of “ peace, com
merce, and honest friendship”—none other,
to prevent the sun of freedom from sinking
forever in the night and gloom of despotism.
Either the rebels must be defeated or the coun
try given up. This is the issue, which the
North has been forced to accept. Holier mis
sion has never devolved on any people in the
revolving tide of time! Will the North prove
equal to its august responsibilities? We be
lieve she will. To its fulfilment, millions of
hands and hearts will bind themselves by
holy covenant vows, that bach in liis proper
department, by his personal services, his time,
his counsels, his prayers, his money, and if
necessary, his life, will exert himself to tlie
utmost to bring to naught the designs of the
rebellious. If the conspirators laydown their
arms, disband their armies, go home and suf
fer the Government to proceed, seeking to
change it only by legal and peaceable means,
the war will bo over, and from millions of
voices will ascriptions of grateful praise ascend
to heaven. But if Jefferson Davis and his fol
lowers elect otherwise—if they insist on the
dismemberment of the Republic, and the sur
render of the old flag, and the recognition of
a rival Confederacy—then, truly, is the con
flict £c irrepressible.” Then will the North,
assisted by every loyalist at the South, to the
bitter end, exert every available energy, at
every point, and in every way, (not positively
forbidden by the usages of war,) to harass,
and cripple, and defeat the insurgents. As
long _as they continue in their rebellion,
we will assail them, in season and out of sea
son, not for their destruction, nor even for
their subjugation, hut in self-defence, for the
sake of our noble and glorious Government,
and for the sake of having a country at all.
And about it all, too, whilst our hearts shall
bleed over the dire necessity, we will have no
compunctions of conscience, but will feel that
ire are doing God service, and subserv
ing his holy and righteous will.
But, say some, these things are easier said
than done. True enough—but the North will
do them—and if the doing protracts the war
eighty years, she has the means, and the will
cannot be wanting. There may he fluctuations
in the war-spirit, and it may not always be at
fever heat, but there will always be enthusiasm
enough to invigorate both Government and
people—and arms, and munitions of war, and
brave and gallant spirits enough to keep the
drums beating, and the banners flying. The
North is rich, and her resources are inexhausti
ble. The substance of her people, as yet un
touched by taxation, can easily defray all that
the effort will cost. She has everything to
hope for, if united with energy, everything to
fear, ir disordered and wavering. The stake
is The Country ! Who will not contend for
it? It is a pearl of great price, dearly pur
chased by the best blood that ever flowed in
human veins. Shall it be cast to the dogs by
party jealousies, or shall it be handed down
unimpaired to unborn generations ? Who can
hesitate for an answer ?

Great Endurance after beino Wor mt>k r>.
Dr. Shipman, of Syracuso, has written a letter to a
medical journal of New York, in which he refers
to the fact, observed by himself and other surgeons,
that the wounds received b t y our troops in the Itite
battle of Hull Hun were, in a remarkably largo
number of instances, unnccpmpiuiicd by the sovcrc
results which are ordinarily produced by similar
causes. lie states that “an equal number of
wounds of the same character in civil life, under
the care of faithful nurses and skilful surgeons,
and with all the appliances of civilization and lux
ury, could scarcely have done as well.’' The ah.
soncc or disregard of physical pain was also striking
—the faculties seeming entirely absorbed in the
mental and moral causes in operation. Ho men
tions two instances of wounded men walking thirty
miles on foot, and without much suffering—ono
having had a musket ball pass through ono thigh
and nearly through tlio other, and wounding the
scrotum, and in the other a hull had gone through
the calves of both legs. Another reached Fort
Ellsworth on Tuesday night after the battle, a Minie
ball haring passed through both checks, fracturing
the lower jaw on each side, and cutting the tonguo
nearly off, and he having eaten nothing since Sa
turday. Ilis wound was dressed, and ho was sont
on to Washington.

HAIR RESTORATIVE,
The only preparation
THAT HAS
STOOD THE TEST OP YEARS*
AND GROWS MORE AND MOAE POPULAR EVERY DAY,
And testimonials, new, anil almost without number,
might be given, from ladies anil gentlemen in all grades
of society, whose united testimony none could resist,
that Prof. Wood’s Ilair Restorative will restore the bald
and gray, and preserve the hair of the youth to old age,
in all its youthful beauty!
Rattle Creek, Mich., Dec. 21, 1858.
Prof. Wood: Thee wilt pleuse accept a line to in
form thee that the hair on my head all fell oft’ over
twenty years ago, caused by a complicated chronic dis
ease, attended with an eruption on the head. A con
tinual course of suffering through life having reduced
me to a state of dependence, I have not been ablo to
obtain stuff for eaps, neither have I been ablo to do
them up, In consequence of which my head has suffered
extremely from cold. This induced mo to pay Briggs &
Ilodges almost the last cent I had on earth for a two
dollar bottle of thy Hair Restorative about the first of
August last. I have faithfully followed tho directions,
and the bald spot is now covered with hair, thick, and
black, though short; it is also coming in all over my
head. Feeling confident that another large bottle would
restore it entirely and permanently, I feel anxious to
persevere in its use, and being destitute ot means to pur
chase any more, I would ask thee if thee wouldst not ho
willing to send me an order on tliine agents for a bottle,
and receive to thyself the Scripture declaration— u Tho
reward is to those that are laud to the widow and tho
fatherless.”
Thy friend, SUSANNAH KIRBY.
Licosirn, Noble Co., Indiana, Feb. 5,1850.
Prof. O. J. Wood : Dear Sir: In the latter part or tho
year 1852, while attending tile State and National Law
School of the State of New York, my liair, from a cause
unknown to me, commenced fulling off very rapidly, bo
that in the short apace of six months, the whole upper
part of my sealp was almost entirely bereft of its cover
ing, and inncli of tho remaining portion upon the side
and hack part of my head shortly after became gray; se
tluit you will not he surprised when I tell you that, upon
my return to the State of Indiana, my more casual ac
quaintances were not so much at a loss to discover tho
cause of the cliango in my appearance, as my more inti
mate acquaintances were to recognize me at all.
I at once made application to the most skilful physi
cians in the country, but, receiving no assurance from
them that my hair conid again bo restored, I was forced
to become reconciled to my fate, until, fortunntcly, in
the latter part of the year 1857, your Restorative was
recommended to mo by a druggist, as being the most

like effect. Very respectfully yours,

rpHE WEEKLY PRESS.
THE WEEKLY PRESS
Has been established on a sccuro and permanent fonnda
tTon • bnt It is, in reality, a marvellous example of the
degree of favor which a rightly-conducted
LITERARY, POLITICAL, AND NEWS JOURNAL
Can receive at the hands of a liberal and enlightened
Public. Our most grateful thanks are tendered for the
patronage already bestowed upon us, and we shall spare
no efforts which may servo to render tho paper even more
attractive, useful, and popular in the future.
The general features of the Paper, in addition to its
POLITICAL AND NEWS DEPARTMENTS,
Win be POETRY, SKETCHES, BIOGRAPHY, and OH
ginal and .Selected TALES, chosen for their lessons of
Life, illustrations of History, depicture of Manners, and
general merit, and adapted, in their variety, to the taste
of both sexes and ail ages.
OUR NEWS COLUMNS
Will continue to bo subjoct to unremitting care and atten
tion, and all diligence bo employed to make this paper ft
compendium of all the principal events of interest whioh

THE LITERARY CHARACTER
Of THE WEEKLY PRESS, now universally acknow
ledged to be of an elevated stamp, shall not only maintain
its present High Standing, but shall be enhanced by Im
portant and valuable contributions from able Writers.
Deeming Purity of Morals the great safeguard of private
happiness and public prosperity, ure shall carefully ex
clude from our columns everything which may reasonably
be objected to on the score of improper tondency. The
fields of pnre Literature afford sufficient material to
make an
ACCEPTABLE FAMILY NEWSPAPER,
Containing all the elements of excellence,
objectionable line; and tho proprietor of THE WEEKLY
PRESS may justly claim that no head of a family need
hesitate to let its columns go under the notice of any
member of his Household.
THE POLITICAL COURSE
Of THE WEEKLY PRESS need not be enlarged upon
here. Indepeudent, steady, and fearless, it has battled
unwaveringly aud zealously in defence of THE RIGHTO

Unfair and Tyrannical Legislation; ever declaringand ad
hering to the doctrine that POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY
constitutes the fundamental basis of our free institutional
and that the intelligence and patriotism of our Citizens
will always be preservative o & wise, just, and salutary
Government. These are the principles to which THH
WEEKLY PRESS has been committed, and to these It
will adhere.
