Despatch from General Bragg—Order
of Lee—General Rood Recovering.
[From the Richmond Enquirer, Sept 23.]
ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS OP THE RATTLE .CIS
The news of the late victory over Rosecrans by
General Bragg begins to come in slowly: The Chat
tanooga Rebel of the 22d - says that the battle of
Chickamauga has proven the most extensive and
desperate struggle of the Western campaign, and it
is not yet over. The fatality .among the field officers is
unprecedented. - - Every train, and almost every de-
apatch - from the front, has brought the announce-
ment of the fall of another and still another promi
nent
'officer, indicating the desperate nature of the
conflict, the splendid and impetuous charges of our I
own troops,
and the stubborn and desperate resist.
ance of the foe. Already a major,general and seve
ral
brigadier generals are numbered among the noble
dead of our aide. It is impossible to get any accu
rate account of the enemy's losses, but the Held
was literally strewn with their dead, and dodbt
less the mortality among their officers has been
equal, if not greater than ours, .notwithstanding
the enemy have trained, sharpshooters for the ex
press purpose of picking off our commanders. -
- The latest advices from Chattanooga state that the
enemy occupied the place in force, and that another
fight-was - hourly expected. -The Federate were cer
tainly in possession of the' place at one o'clock on
Wednesday.
Mr. Rushton, agent of the. East Tennessee and
Georgia Railroad, endeavored to . reach Chatta
nooga with an engine, for the purpose of ascertain
ing the condition of the track-via Cleveland. The
report made of this reconnoissance, at Dalton,
Wednesday evening, was, that on reaching a point
within five miles of Chattanooga they met Pegrare's
cavalry, about one o'clock yesterday, who ordered -
the . party back to Dalton, and informed them the
Federals were still in the . town. Pegram had re
ceived orders to fall back to Chickamauga. When
.the engine passed Cleveland, on its return, Bird's . v
brigade of Federal,cavalry were reported within '-
six miles of the [town. Our forces stationed there
being small in numbers, were obliged to leave. • •
It is evident we must have another struggle be
fore Rosecrans is driven across the river.
The two hostile forces were larger in number than
any °them that have heretofore met in the West.
The battle was fought in °Moose county, about
seven or eight miles west of Ringgold, and between
Pea Vine creek and Ohickamauga, opening in a
series of sharp skirmishes Friday evening, and re
suming the following day in a continuous and inces
sant battle from seven o'clock A. M., briskly all
along our lines, until five o'clock P. M. Our right
was in the direction of Ringgold, under Longstreet,
Hill in the centre, and Polk and Buckner on the
left.
On Friday, the 18th, at twelve M., the artillery
opened on the extreme left, and Patton Anderson's
division was engaged with the enemy in a series of
skirmishes, under a hill on the left, until evening.
The next day, Saturday, the 19th, the fighting com
menced along the whole line about seven in the
morning, and lasted until far into the night. It was
one incessant roar of artillery and rattle of small
arms all day long—no cessation. At five P. ➢I.
there was a temporary lull, the firing ceased, and it
was believed the day's work was over without any
decisive results to either side, and a heavy list of
casualties on bath. In a short time after five Gen.
Polk again ordered an advance to drivethe enemy
from a strong position he had taken, and it was in
this charge that Preston Smith was killed. Tur
ner's battery fought splendidly. The artillery fire
from that battery is said to have excelled anything
of the sort ever before witnessed in its terrible ef
fect upon the enemy. The battery was publicly
complimented by General Cheatham. Immediately
after the action the General and his staff rode up
and expressed the thanks of the whole division for
the valuable services they had rendered.
On Sunday the first guns opened at 9 o'clock in
the morning. It was intended to begin the fight at
daylight, but, through some mistake of the courier,
the bider was not received that early. The fighting
was not so incessant as on Saturday, but quite as
desperate at times, and the enemy was driven from
every strong position. We have not learned the re
sult of yesterday's fighting, but we are assured by
friends from the front that everything is favorable
to our arms. The confidence and spirit and enthu
siasm of the troops are unbounded, and every one
seems to feel sure of a victory. '
The Atlanta Appeal of the 24th says: Everything
now indicates an early battle on the Tennessee, and
the shock may take place at any hour. "We are
confronting the enemy two miles from Chatta
nooga," this morning, is the word from above and,
as we know our troops are eagerly panting for an
other opportunity terpunish their foe, and-think our
commanders appreciate the importance of no longer
delaying, we look for another battle at once.
Roseerans has certainly been concentrating his
forces since Sunday, and that he has been able to
gather as much physical force as he lost may be true.
Burnside'a disposable force May have joined him,
and his garrison left - lower down and north of the
river may have been hurried to his support. And it
will be remembered that the letter of our correspon
dent, "Kingston," published yesterday (who writes
advisedly), informs us that five brigades - of infantry,
one of cavalry and several batteries of artillery left
Huntsville, AM., on the 13th inst. If this force had
not come in time to participate in the late battle
they will have had time to make the march ere this.
It is the impression of our officers that they were
engaged before, but the Federal officers captured say
not. It may be so.

THE FRUITS OF THE VICTORY
The fruits of the victory at Chickamauga ate
officially stated as follows :
,Seven thousand prisoners.
Forty pieces of artillery.
Fifteen thousand stand of small arms.
Thirty stand of colors.
And the enemy has been driven back to his fortifl
cations on the river.
DESCRIPTION OF THE EATTLE-FIELD.
A correspondent of the Atlanta lnlelligencer thus
describes the battlefield of Chickamauga :
The battle. field extended about ten miles, and the
carnage was the most frightful yet witnessed, far ex
ceeding Chanoellorville, Gettysburg, Murfreesboro,
or Shiloh. The constant, and terrific roar of artil
lery never was exceeded. The fighting of our men
on Sunday evening, in carrying the enemy's en
trenchments, was magnificent, grand. and terrible.
They faced the whirlwind of lead and iron with the
steadiness and composure of- a summer's rain.
Then came charge after charge, the frightful gaps in
our lines being immediately closed up, and, with the
yell of demons, our battle cry arose above the roar
and crash of musketry and artillery, while the terror
stricken fce fell back aghast as our braves mounted
and carried their entienchments," line after line,
over the dead carcasses of the Abolition foe, who fell
in heaps in the pits they had but dug for themselves.
The battle•fleid that night by moonlight—the glit
tering beams shining on the ghastly faces of the
dead, distorted in expression from the wounds of
their torn and mangled bodiei, with heaps of the
wounded and dying, with scattered arms strewn
everywhere, with broken artillery carriages and
caissons, dead horses, and all that makes up the
debris of a bloody contested field—was terrible and
appalling.
GENERAL GREGG, Olif TEXAS
The Huntsville Confederate states that this gallant
officer was shot in the neck during the first day's
engagement at Chickamauga, the ball passing out
of the lower part of his face, inflicting a very se
rious wound, but not regarded fatal. He was brought
to this place , by this morning's train, and is at the
house of a friend in this vicinity. We have not had
an opportunity to converse with him ;'but, from
those who did, we learn that he estimates our force
in Saturday's fight ate thirty thousand, and states
that they drove the enemy, who were also in heavy
force, a mile and a half, and he understood that Ole
hurne's division had flanked the enemy's right
wing and got in their rear, which, if true, would
cut off their retreat to Chattanooga. He fell early
in action. While advancing with his brigade, Gan.
Cheatham sent him word to be cautious, and not
mistake his men, who were also advancing for the
enemy. He rode forward to reconnoitre, and had
wheeled his horse to return, when a platoon of the
enemy fired on him, wounding him as before stated.
lie fell from his horse insensible, and consciousness
was just returning as the enemy had stripped him
of his sword and spurs. ' They, probably, had not
time to get his watch or other valuables, before
our troops advanced, when he was taken to the rear.
DESPATCH PROM GENERAL BRAGG
NEAR CHATTANOOGA, Sept. 24, 1863.
The report from General Hood last night was
favorable. Our prisoners will reach 7,000, of whom
2,000 are wounded. We have 25 stands of colors and
guidons, 36 pieces of artillery, and have already col
lected over 15,000 small arms over and above those
left on the field by our killed and wounded. More
are being found. BRAXTON BRAGG.

ATLANTA, Sept. 26.—Our lines extend around
Chattanooga, within striking distance of the enemy.
Our forces are well up to the front. Full supplies
of commissary and hospital stores are close at hand.
On Wednesday night our cavalry occupied Coop

Chattanooga. That night General Wheeler made a
reconnoissance towards Lookout mountain, found
an infantry force of the enemy and drove them away.
The mountain is now held by General Longstreet.
The enemy's operations are plainly visible from
Lookout.
Rosecrans has two lines of defence on the road to
Chattanooga, six hundred yards apart. He has one
pontoon bridge across the river, which is crowded
with wagons, .and the impression is, that he brings
them over as they are needed.
General Longstreet commands the river and rail

THE SIEGE OF CHARLESTON.
Telegrams from Charleston. and Richmond
Papers
The Charleston Courier of the 24th says that the
Yankees made their appearance at Batteries Gregg
and - Wagner in large force on Wednesday morning,
and appeared to be—working with considerable
energy. They seemed to pay no attention to the
fire irora our batteries, but kept on digging and
hauling sand and timber to various positions around
Gregg and Wagner. Some six or seven wagons and
teams were engaged at this work all day Wednesday.
The enemy also yesterday unmasked several guns
mounted on Gregg and Wagner, cutting away the
embrasures, &c., and seemingly getting ready for
action.
A few shots were fired by the enemy in the after
noon from Gadberry Hill at Battery Simkins.
About five o'clock the enemy's battery on Black
Island opened onßattery Haab ell, on James Island.
Battery Haskell replied with vigor.
A schooner from the northward came in heavily
laden, and anchored abreast of Gregg's Hill, and
commenced discharging.
The Ironsides,. monitors, and others are at their
old anchorage, and remain quiet.
A salute was fired la all our batteries and Forts.

mirably. The shells are thrown with accuracy, and
fall with accuracy, in the middle of the enemy's
batteries, at nearly every fire.
There was again considerable motion in the fleet
to-day. It is supposed that Admiral Farragut was
visiting each vessel.
- CHARLESTON, Sept. 27, 1863.
The enemy is evidently . attemptingto make him
self impregnable on Morris Island. Besides enlarg
ing and strengthening Batteries Gregg and Wagner,
he has erected palisades around hie works to guard
against any eiforeon our part to take the island by
assault.
The enemy has teams of mules constantly trans
porting supplies, &c., from South Island to Cum

Operations . Against the Guerillas
Captain Means, of the Independent Rangers, with
his command left aarnpneer Leesburg, last week,
and skirmished toward Strasburg and Winchester,
and returned by way of Millwood and Berryville.
„As they were'crossing the Blue Ridge at Snicker's

tention of joining the main body of the rebel army.
THE STITES IN REBELLION.
Extracts from the Message of the Governor
of South Carolina
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
COLII3II3IA, September 21, 1263.
Gentlemen of the Senate and Rouse of Representatives:
The day of your annual meeting is so near at hand
that I should not have convoked you again in extra
session, but Tor what I deem a pressing, emergency,
admitting of no delay. The progress of the war for
the last few months has not been favorable to our
arms. The brilliant repulse of the enemy's iron•clad
fleet on the 7th of Aprillast, in Charleston harbor,
hae been succeeded by the fall of Vicksburg anti Port
Hudson, our retirement from Pennsylvania, Mary
land, and Tennessee, and also by our evacuation of
Morris Island, but not without a stubborn resistance
by the brave garrisons of Wagner and Gregg, under
a fire from naval and land batteries, such as no works
have ever before withstood. Fort Sumpter still
ho'da out with an infantry garrison, which has re
cently achieved a brilliant success. Her noble ruins
afford the best proofs of the indomitable courage of
the officers and men of the let South Carolina Artille
ry. Our malignant foe is now erecting on Morris Is
land powerful batteries of Parrott guns, and repairing
his damaged fleet, preparatory to another and more
determined attack upon our harbor outposts, whilst
his land forces are being increased, with the hope,
possibly, of carrying Charleston in a combined at
tack by land and sea. The call of the President for
five thousand troops for six months' service within
the State, beginning the tat of August last, has been
promptly respondea to, with the exception of live
companies now in process of organization. This
requisition, and the enforcement of the conscription
act to forty-five, embracing almost the entire popula
tion between the ages of forty and fifty, so impairs
the efficiency of our military organization that I
bud it impracticable to obtain readily a force ade
quate to such emergencies as a, em likely now soon to
be upon us. To meet there emergencies I have en
deavored, under your late act and the set of 1811, to
raise a volunteer force of one mounted regiment, two
companies of cavalry, and one battery of artillery, for
service wherever in the State they may be needed.
This force has not been so promptly raised as the
occasion requires; and I have therefore felt it my,
duty to again convene your bodies, and to recom
mend to you that you devise such a plan as in your
Wisdom may seem expedient for furnishing, for im
mediate service, a military force of at least two re
- of infantry, one of which should be mounted,
and a proportionate force of cavalry and artillery.
Also,,that the law be so amended as to place in some
military organization for the defence of the State
every able-bodied citizen between the ages of six
teen and sixty not in the Confederate service or
otherwise legally exempted. Theimmetliate danger
to be apprehended arises from raiding parties of the
enemy, who dash • suddenly into the State from
Tennessee, through upper Georgia or the passes of
the mountains of North and South Carolina. .
I invite your attention to the operation of the
System of imprealment adopted by the Confede-
rate Government. lam informed that in some sec
tions where the people have little more than is ab
solutely necessary for their own use, it is apprehend
ed that destitution will be brought about by its un
equal operation. Coming, as you do, from every
section of the State, you are doubtless better in
formed upon this subject than myself, and better
prepared to adopt a judicious policy than I am now
to suggest it.- I have called the attention of the
Confederate Government to the subject, and sug
gested to them the probability that the collection of
the tax in kind, which operates more equally on 411,
Would obviate the necessity for the inspretsment of
provisions.
The system adopted by furnishing labor for the
coast defences has failed to accomplish its purpose.
Large numbers have availed themselves of the pro.'
Visions of the law, and paid one dollar and fifty
cents instead of furnishing the labor ; and others,
with the hope of impunity, have neither furnished
the labor nor paid the fine. With the money, col•
lected by the agent he has been unable to hire any
labor. I recommend an amendment of the acts on
this subject, so as to abolish the fine, an\l so as
to authorize the Governor, through the Com•
MiesiOnerS of Roads (who in the main are
true to their trusts), to impresa the labor
requisite to enable him to respond to the calls of
the commanding general, giving credit for all
labor previously furnished, and that the time of
service be extended to two Months. The free ne
groes should be included. I doubt not that there
has been cause for the complaint heretofore Made
as to the treatment and detention of the negroes ;
but it believed that, through the instrumentality
of theenergetic State agent (whose report is herewith
transmitted) many of the evils have been remedied.

ExpOUTION OP XELLOOG, THE IVESTERN SPY.
[From the Richmond Enquirer. Sept. 26.7
At 11 o'clock yesterday forenoon a detail of one
hundred men, under Captain' Potts, from the City
Battalion marched from Castle Thunder with
Spencer Kellogg, the recently-condemned spy, in
custody. The cortege moved up Main street in the
following order:-Drum corps on the right, followed
by two companies of military ; hack containing the
condemned man, his spiritual adviser, Dr. Burrows,
and Detective Capehait and 'another officer. The
hack was'closely guarded by mounted men, followed
by two companies of infantry. The cavalcade
leached the scene of execution about half past 12
o'clock, where, as usual, a vast crowd of peorde, of
both sexes and all ages, were congregated. After a
Yews momenta spent in preliminary arrangements, the
prisoner was escorted, under guard, from the hack to
the gallows. - While seated in the hack, awaiting the
perfection of the arrangements for his execution, he
conversed gaily, with the utmost noncludance, with
Dr. Burrows, frequently smiling at some remark
made either by himself or the minister. Arriving
under the gallows, Captain Alexander read the
'charges preferred against the accused and the sen
tence of the court martial—" that he be hanged by
the neck until dead." A short but impressive prayer
was then offered by the minister, at the conclusion
of which the condemned man, unaccompanied,
mounted the scaffold. In a few moments Detective
Capehart followed, and commenced to adjust the
rope over the neck of the criminal, in which he
assisted, all the while talking with the officer.. Oa
taking offi his hat to admit the noose over his head,
be threw it one side, and, falling off the scaffold, it
struck a gentleman beneath, when the prisoner
turned quickly, and, bowing, said : . "Excuse me
sir." After gettir ' e• the rope on his neck arranged
to his satiafactiort,Detective Capehart ecuntnenced
to pinion the arms of the condemned, to which he
submitted composedly, simply remarking: "Ain't
this hard, Captain'?" His ankles were then tied to
gether, and Ins hat given to him, which he held in his
hand behind him. Capehart then shook hands and
left him. A negro next came on the Beath:lid with a
ladder, and proceeded to fasten the rope to the up
per beam, the prisoner meanwhile regarding him
with the greatest composure. The rope being fas
tened, the negro was in the act of coming down,
when the prisoner, looking up at the rope, remark
ed: "This won't break my neck 'Tion't more than
a foot fall. Doctor, I wish you would come up and
arrange this thing. I don't want to have a botch
job of it !" The rope was then rearranged to his
satisfaction, and the cloth cap placed over his head.
The condemned man then bowed his head, and en
gaged a few seconds in prayer, at the conclusion of
which he raised himself, and, standing perfectly
erect, pronounced, in a clear voice, "All ready !"
Al five minutes to one o'clock the drop fell, and the
condemned man was launched into eternity. He
struggled violently fbr about a second, the rope
swaying to and ho like the pendulum of a clock.
He was left hanging thirty minutes, when he was
cut down, and pronounced dead" by the attendant
physician, his neck having been:broken in the fall.
The body was then placed in a coffin, and sent to the
burial ground.
Kellogg was a man of rather prepossessing ap
pearance, about five feet eight or nine inches high,
with sparkling light-blue eyes, sandy hair and beard,
and a slight moustache. His skin, from long con
finement (some fifteen months), had become as
fair as a female's. He wore, at the time of his
execution, a dark-blue coat and brass buttons,
light.blue pants, a blue eheck shirt, and black
wool hat. He was apparently about thirtplive
years of age.
The wretch had previously confessed his guilt,
the substance of which confession was that he had
hired himself in the Confederate Engineer Corps
at Island No. 10, for the purpose of gaining infor
mation for the benefit of the Federal Government,
and though at last detected he died with the con
viction that he bad furnished more valuable in
formation, in the character of a spy, to that Go
vernment, than any other ten men in the United
States service.

[From the Richmond Dispatch. ]
The New York World of Saturday last takes the
Tribune to task for denouncing the Union as it was.
It seems that Greeley has been pouring contempt
and odium on attempts to re-establish the Union on
its old basis—that is, upon the efforts of the World
and the War Democrats. G-reeley, "likens such at
tempts to the madness which would wish, in France,
for the reestablishment of all that the revolution
has swept away—a return to absolutism, feudalism,
and all their monstrous abuses and intolerable usur
pations."
The it comments upon this quotation from-
Greeley are of no value, since it is evident that a
Democrat who can advocate war for the restoration
of a federation of independent States cannot be re
garded as a reasonable being. A. Constitution which
inhibits war cannot be restored by war—that is self
evident ; for war is, of all things, the most violative
of the Constitution, and includes and justifies all
other violations, even the monstrous despotism now
established by Lincoln. War necessarily destroys a
Constitution such as the United States once pos
sessed, and it is the merest folly to talk of re
storing the Union by war of any sort—as much so as
to talk of maintaining the Constitution by habitual
violation of its very spirit, its every letter and prin
ciple.
PROMOTED
Brigadier General Rowell Cobb has been promoted
to a major generalship by President Davis, and as
signed to the command of the Georgia State forces
now being organized in the vicinity of Atlanta,
ATTOIMICT GENERAL WATTS
. Certain ignorant or designing persons having at-
tempted to get up an impression in Alabama that
Attorney General Watts, the Governor elect of that
State, might be induced to favor a plan of "recon
struction," he has written to a friend who addressed
him a note on the subject, that he is " surprised and
mortified that anybody in the South should so in
terpret the Alabama election ;" that he "will not
forfeit hie self•respect by arguing" such a question ;
that the man "who is now deliberately or otherwise
in favor of 'reconstruction' with the States under
Lincoln's dominion, is a traitor in his heart to the
State of his residence and to the Confederate States,
and deserves a traitor's doom." "If I had the
power." says Colonel Watts, "I would build up a
wall of fire between Yankeedom and the Confederate
States, there to burn for ages as a monument of the
folly, wickedness, and vandalism of the puritanic
race ! No, air ! rather than reunite with such a peo
ple, I would see the Confederate States desolated
with fire and sword." It is to be hoped this will
satisfy all doubters.

[From the Enquirer, 29th nit.
The sudden appearance of the Russian fleet, con

that which extends similar kind attention to the

place. This holy alliance has kindred sympathies
and principles—Alexander II and Abraham I.

The great object of Gen. Gilmore, in aiming at
the destruction or capture of Fort Sumpter, was
evidently to remove that obstacle to the passage
of the vessels of war into the inner harbor of Charles
ton, and no on to the city. lie has done about all he
can do agairat Sumpter. He has pretty much ruined
it, but the Confederate flag still floats over its ruins,
and the attempts of the iron-clads to run past and
enter the inner harbor have not been successful.
Sumpter, from her ruins, still poured a 11 re on
them, and our other forts and batteries joined in the
conflict. As nothing but iron-clads could in any
case venture to make the attempt to run past, of
course no.transports could carry up troops with the
'view of elfeeting a landing and attempting the oc
cupation of Charleston. The iron -clads, oncewithin
our range, might hammer away at the city ; but at
the same time they would land themselves under the
concentrated fire of batteries hammering away at
them. They could not afford to devote themselves
long to the work of destruction. They would have
to escape or fight for their own salvation.
The real danger to be apprehended from the pre
sence of a Yankee fleet in the inner harbor, would
be that it would cut off' communication between the
batteries and the city, which is the base of opera
tions and the centre of supplies. But again, the
monitors, which can only carry a limited supply of
coal, provisions, and munitions of war, would be
cut off from their base of operations, since none of
the wooden vessels could dare to run the gauntlet
for the purpose of bringing these things to them.
The monitors would also have to . encounter three
Confederate iron-clads, armed with heavy Brooke
guns of great penetrative power. These iron-clads,
unlikethe unfortunate Fingal, would not be apt to.get
aground, as they have steamed around every square
yard of the harbor, andknow it all.-It is not known
that the armor f the Fingal was not penetrated,
but the sustaining woodwork was not strong enough
to sustain the impact of the immense four-hundred
and•thirty-pound projectiles thrown at her while
she was aground. The iron clads in Charleston har
bor are muck stronger, and, as already remarked,
not likely to get aground. It is true they ate slow,
but so are the monitors, and, even if the latter were
twice as fast as our boats, their fear of torpedoes,
obstructions, and all sorts of things, would prevent
them from deriving any advantage from their supe
rior speed.

MEXICO.
The Mexican Army still Able to Resist the
French— The hew Contmander-ln-Chief,
General Diaz—international Relations.
[Correspondence of the New York Times. ]
QUERETARO, (1 1 ,1exico,) Tuesday, Aug. 11, 1862
It is a great mistake to suppose that the Mexi
cans are not able and do not intend to offer any effec
tual resistance to the French.
Aa I have stated, the Juarez Government at San
Luis Potosi is actively engaged in organizing its
forces, with the full determination of lighting the
French now and forever.
General Diaz has been appointed commander-in
chief. Diaz is a young, enterprising, daring man,
of superior military attainments. He performed
prodigies of valor at the siege of _Puebla, and evinced
military skill of a high order. The Mexican Liberals
are looking to this young general with great hope.
He has now at his headquarters in San Luis a force of
8,000 men, w hich is being thoroughly organized, arm
ed, and equipped, General Doblado, or the State of
Guanajuato has a force of 10,000 men well armed,
clothed, andpaid. He resigned his position as Go
vernor of the State of Guanajuato a few days since,
in order to devote himself entirely to military af
fairs. His headquarters are at the city of Leon.
This State, Queretaro, is also organizing a very re
spectable force, also Aojaco, and, in fact, all the
States of the republic appear to be doing their best
in the raising of forces to contend with the invader.
Gen. Negrete is Governor of the States of Puebla
and Tlaseala, and commander•in.chief of the forces
of those States. He has already an army Which is
giving great trouble to the French. A few days ago
the Mexican traitor Oronoz left the city of Mexico
to attack him, but his Mexican forces went over to
the patriots. Oronoz was obliged to retreat to the
city, of Mexico. He has since been imprisoned by
Forey. From all I see and hear, I believe the
Juarez Government will soon have a well equipped
and efficient army, ready to take the field against the
Freifell, Of WOO t() 49,400 Mell. Then there will he
guerilla bands innumerable.
I think these facts indicate that the struggle be ,
twern the French and Mexicans is by no means
ended. It is true, the Mexicans are greatly impo
verished. They need large supplies of arms and
other war material with which to carry on the
struggle, nowao unequal in the matter of supplies.
The interests of the French invasion and of the
Southern Confederacy, for the time being, are here
looked upon as identical. Every victory the North
regardea by every Mexican patriot as a staggering
gains over the South causes rejoicing here, for It is
tdow to the French invasion as well as to the
Southern rebellion ; and the masses of the Mexican
people ate beginning to believe that at no distant
day the loyal United States will take an active part
in siding them to come off successful from the des
pirate struggle they are now maintaining against
the European foe.
Senor Romero, who recently represented the
Pdexican Government at Washington, has been ap
pointed a colonel in the Mexican army, and he is
now a member of Gen. Diaz's staff: "'A short time
befoie I left San Luis, the Juarez Government had
appeinted Senor %arca as minister to the United
Stater, and he was expected to leave for his post in
Washington about this time.
DESERTION cir IVlOumr, BY THE OITIiENS.—A
letttr from an officer of the blockading fleet in the
Gulf says : "The people are leaving Mobilb in
droves; not by ones and twos, but by.the dozen. A
few days ago thirteen seamen deserted from the
Selma rebel steamer. From Mobile Bay thirtyfive
women and children came over, and about one hun
dred men, all within one week, and all agree that
Mobile can be easily taken. We shall soon be
about that. There is famine in'Mobile, and the
women have rebelled against the authorities. They
were Meowing, and wanted bread, and they took it
where they could find it."
UNION DEMONST.RATION AT NEW YORK.—Wed
needs}, evening the loyal men of New York ratified
the nomination made by the Union State Convention,
held at Syracuse on the 20 of September. The great
Hall of the Cooper Institute was crowded to its ut
most capacity. That the thousands who could not
gain admittance into the hall might not be disap
pointed, three platforms were erected without, in
Astor' place, around which were gathered earnest
listeners to the words of patriotism and loyalty.
Among the speakers were Vice President Hamlin,
Senator Morgan, General Cochrane, Admiral Far
ragut, the Hon. J. B. Washhurne, and others.
TESTIMONIAL TO GENERAL W. F. SMITIL—The
ladies of Carlisle have raised a large sum of money
for the purpose of presenting a suitable testimonial
to General William F. Smith, for his gallantry in
defending that place against the rebel attack on the
Ist of July last. The gifts are a - beautifully chased
solid silver pitcher, with an appropriate inscription,
and an exquisitely pstated photograph ot himself.

ADDRESS OF HON. P. C. SHANNON

[Specially Reported for The Press.)
This is " court week" in Clearfield county—an oc
casion which gathers together at the county seat a
large class of people—constables, witnesses, suers
and sued, and delinquents generally. Four times a
Sear this reunion of the somewhat influential peo
ple of the county takes place, and the occasions are
always embraced by hundreds of politicians and
others, to visit Clearfield town and become posted
as to county affairs. Clearfield county, be it known,
is one of the Gibraltars of Democracy; it is the
home of Bigler, and the shline of many of the most
devout followers of that renowned statesman.
Generally speaking, its population is steeped in
profound ignorance, and take their teachings from
political demagogues, andibelieve, without reserva
tion or reflection, the worst slanders upon their
political opponents. Newspapers reach this be
nighted place only through the intelligence and en
teeprise of the best class of its people, who, we are
glad to assure our readers, are now ranged upon the
side of their country. There is no slander too infa
mous, no doctrine too base, which, if enunciated by
the. Democratic leaders, will not find willing and
eager followers among the benighted devotees of
that party in Clearfield. The town itself is by na
ture one of the most charming villas of our great
State. Its inhabitants number nearly eight hun
dred.
Unlike the rest of the county, the town itself is
progressive. Several elegant residences strike the
eye on entrance to the spot, and command our ad
miration on closer view. The town is delightfully
laid out in a deep valley formed by the Allegheny
range. The hilltops are covered with thick forest,
in which grows almost every variety of timber use
ful to the builder or engineer. The West Branch
of the Susquehanna nova peacefully by its northern
limit, and is laden the greater part of the year by
rafts of valuable lumber, which are drifted to the
junction of the North Branch, about forty miles be
low, and sent onward down that great river. The
lumbermen generally are an intelligent class of peo
ple, and many of them showed their devotion to
country by enlisting under its flag. The degenerate
remainder are principally moulded by the politicians
and used for their sole benefit. Being a long.esta
blished Democratic county, prejudice and bigotry
have attained a fast hold upon the minds of the peo
ple. Gradually they are being uprooted, and light
is dawning upon Clearfield county. Gentlemen of
intelligence and wealth are settling there, and in
fusing a regard for true Democratic principles. No
better evidence of the advancement in this respect
is needed than the assurance of a greatly•increased
Union vote in the coming election. The politicians
are becoming understood, and the honest, thinking
people are asserting their sway. -
On Tuesday night last the Union people held a
soul stirring meeting in the town of Clearfield, and
the Copperheads held one too. Theirs was opposite
the Court Home, and the chairman, in organizing
their meeting, announced that it was in "accord
ance with time-honored usage for the Democracy to
counsel together during court week," and the De
mocracy began their council. They were permitted
to proceed without molestation, or even an audience,
so far as the Union people of the town were con
cerned. Luminous sophisms were indulged in, and
occasionally there was a cheer and a "hurrah for
Woodward." .Tames Buchanan, Jr., Miles, of
Philadelphia ; George Northorp, of Philadelphia;
Wm. E. Wallace, a Senator from Clearfield, and a
youth of about eighteen summers, constituted the
list of orators. Two or three squares further on,
the Union-men Of Clearfield held a mass meeting,
the like of which, we are assured, has never before
been held in thisicounty. Composed of the intelli
gence and wealth of the community, the meeting
demeaned themselves in a manner which did them
infinite credit, and showed an appreciation of the
eloquent orator of the occasion. It was, however,
enthusiastic, and the hearty cheers with which the
sentiments of Judge Shannon were greeted attracted
the envy and attention of the Copperhead meeting
lower down in the town. Every device short of an
open collision was resorted to that the meeting
might be dissolved. On the outskirts of the crowd
boys would yell out, "Hurrah for Woodward," and
make other riotous demonstrations.
The. platform was gaily aet off with American
flags, and the seats opposite were filled, and stand
ing room could hardly be obtained in the highway.
Mr. James E. Stewart presided, and Dlr. H. Bucher
Swope introduced Hon. P. U. Shannon in very com
plimentary terms.
Atter the applause with which he was greeted had
subsided, Judge Shannon proceeded to speak as fol.
lows:
SPEECH OF JUDGE SHANNON
FELLOW-COUNTRYMEN: I have come hither for the pur
pose of addressing you upan the momentous i 2,81188 of
the day. I have to-day. for the first time, placed my
feet upon the soil of Clearfield county. I have travelled
by your lofty mountain sides thAugh year glens and
valleys; I have seen a county that. a few brief years
ago, was vvrapt in solitude and wilderness, developing
itself with a power and energy, perhaps, unsurpassed in
the ant all of civilization. I have heard- the snort of
the iron horse upon your highest cliffs. I have seen
conveyed to the marts of - wealth the treasures of your
mountains; and as I saw all - these things for the first
time, I asked myself the question, can it be possible that
a people thus blessed, thus prosperous, thus happy. thus
intelligent—can a people like this be untrue to the tradi
tions of our fathers, forgetful of the glorious and teeming
associations of the past, and While the' Life of the nation
is trembling in the scale. that so happy a people should
refuse to support men who are pledged to sustain their
country against all its enemies—that, for a moment, any
man who desires to see the institutions of hie country
perpetuated, should refuse a sanction to Andrew G. Cur
tin? [Applause.]
I beg you to be with me as I attempt to address this
vast assemblage upon the questions which now (meting
so much of the attention of every Pennsylvanian. I
have come recently from the shore of Lake Erie. where
twenty thousand freemen assembled to welcome the
arrival of Governor Curtin to the Lake City; I have
witnessed 30,050 men assembled in council at Pittsbarg,
presided over by `a :.Democrat like myself, which gave
the heartiest assurance to the people of Pennsylvania,ate
yet true to the principles of the olden time. I have
spoken at Altoona, Mauch Chunk, Easton, Bethlehem,
Norristown, West Chester. Philade.phia, and numerous
other places. and the demonstrations at each of them in
favor tf the TJnion, filled'me with pride and confidence.
allow me to premise on this occasion, that it was the
limpet.° of Colonel Forney to accompany me here to
day. Before 1 lett Lancaster, I received from him a tele
gram bidding me tottell the good people of Clearfield, in
his name, that it was wholly impossible for him to
fulfill his engagement, believing that he could bitter aid
the cause by remaining at home •in charge of his news-
Paper—an opinion in which all his friends coincide. As
a journalist. Colonel Forney has sew equals in the coun
try, and in that capacity lie will render valuable aid to
the good work, engages, as he is. with herculean la
bors in favor of the patriot and against the traitor.
[Applause.] Now to the subject before us. Let me
appeal to your heart and judgment, You ask for
Peace, YOU followers of Woodward. Let me ask
how do you propose to attain Name the condi
tion. Sets down the programme. We members of the
Union party of Pennsylvania love white-winged-Peace
as mach as you love her. Our memories go back to the
days when peace stood upon every mountain, and held
her revels in every valley We do not love war for the
take of war; but hog avoid it? What proposition has
ever coins from Jeff Davis, luokingtowards peace? Any
thing from his Cabinet? Ilas any discussion taken place
in the rebel Congress even upon the propriety of bottling
out the olive-branch? What rebel editor has askeMor
peace. except on the basis of separation? Everywhere
uVer.the South there is one united voice, that peace shall
come only by acknowledging their accursed- Confede
racy, and consenting to the destruction of the Constitu
tion and Union of our fathers. lln the name of tne ancient
Democracy. that Democracy of Jefferson and Jackson, I
hurl defiance in the teeth of the rebel miecreante, and
their cowardly assistants of the North, and assure them
that this contest, begun for the purpose of restoring the
Union, will bircontinned for the same purpose, and that
there can be no peace except in submission.
I lave great respect for the honest masses of the De
mocratic party. but. I have nothing but supreme con
tempt for their miserable leaders. [Applause.] I never
voted any other [tan the Democratic ticket until the
time when Southern Democrats dared to fire upon the
flag or our country at +Sumpter. In common with liberal
men of all parties. I was always willing to give to the
people of the South their just rights under the Constitu
tion so long as they were willing to light the battles of
the Onion peacefully inside the Union. Believing
Douglas to be not only the regular nominee of the party,
but the truest exponent of its principles, I labored and
voted for that great statesman, To-day he sleeps in his
calm and honored grave, where the winds of a Northern
lake sing a requiem to his memory. Where is John C.
Breckinridge ? Among the enemies of his country, with
a dagger uplifted against the life of the nation. [Ap
plause ]-I prefer to continne in the faith of the la
mented Douglas than to follow Breckinridge in his trea
sonable efforts against the Government.
.13nt, yon say, why this carnage; why these blood
stained fields , : why these wounded and cripples? Can
not something be done to appease the angry waters; can
riot oil be thrown upon the troubled surface, that peace
and prosperity may once more assert their sway ? Just
as ter as love of country, devotion to true Democracy,
love of the Constitution and the Union will allow me—
just so far and no farther. The rebels tell you there is
but one way to settle this war, and that is by our sub
mitting to them, by acknowledging the right of secession,
and by allowing the Government of Jefferson and Jack
son to crumble into duet. What is the response from
every lOyal heart. [Cries of ''never!'] Never on
God's earth—never'

in the city of Washington without a treasury, without
an army or navy, and almost without friends. Floyd
had dispereed the armies into far. distant parts. and Ton
coy had ordered our gallant tars so far away from the
capital that when the great rebellion [culminated Mr.
Lincoln felt himself almost wholly defenceless. Spies in
the Sexectitive chamber, :pies in every. department
of the Government service, the corridors of the
White 'louse echoing to the tread of informer'

and secret traitors, and all around doubt, despond,
envy. and theproepect of national disaster. In this dark
crisis Pennsylvania, under her gallant Curtin, came
bravely to the rescue, sending forward, as the first of
loyal States, her quota. to tits ealvation of the capital.
[Applause. ]
As the exigencies of the war grew greater and stronger.

poseible, the greatest alacrity. I have it from my relatives
and friends, who have enlisted under the banner of the
Republic, that after the bloodiest battles of the Potomac
army, the first official from civil life, to reach the scene
of conflict, was the Governor of this State Re has been
seen kneeling by the bedside of the dying and wounded
soldiers, like a good Samaritan, absorbed with anxiety
and solicitation for their comfort; Everywhere, and at
every time, he has been the soldier's friend. Nom, how
is he to be rewarded? Do the Woodwarditee say, ' Well
done thou good and faithful servant?" On the contrary,
there is no term too vile in the vocabulary to be applied
to him.
1 am sorry to be obliged to say it, that a few, calling
themselves Republicans. dare to fire envenomed arrows
at the head of Curtin. For two Years in the Penrisvf
-. ania Legislature, never having voted for him. I can
bear assail/Any to his high character, and can with some
authority, therefore, pronounce those aspersions untrue.
This is no time for party politics. This is a time for
every man who prices the precious heritage of our fa
thers, who loves this land of civil and religions liberty,
to range himself on the side of his country, determined
to uphold it against all its enemies, foreign or domestic.

triumph of the Southern rebels, charge that this war
was begun by the Abolitionists; that it is continued for

As a Democrat, I say here what all thinking men are
convinced of, that Ibis war was commenced by Southern
Democrats. and is now carried on by them in conjunc
tion with their Northern sympathizers. [applause.]
Read the papers of the South, and yonwill become more
than ever convinced that the rebels prolong, this war,not

their own exertions, but, that they may profit by the as

Judge Shannon then nrcceeded to discuss the measures
of the Adir iaietrationth at have occasioned the clanoretta
comments of the sympathizers. With regard to the
emancipation proclamation, he gave these as his reasons
for lilting it: First. Because Jeff Davis does not like it.
[Laughter.] Ile liked it also because every belted rebel
hates it: and lastly, because it was in the interest of
Christianity and civilization. there were any fault
about it, it was because it did not come a great deal
sooner.
Thespeakerp further touched upon the subject of
the freedom of speech:and whilst upon this part of
his discourse, the unruljAlelegation from the Demo
cratic meeting became ;go boisterous as to almost
drown the voice of-the orator. They hurrahed, and
yelled, and groaned. They rang a huge bell, uttered
shameful blasphemies, and pelted missiles on the
stage, none of which, however, had the effect they
were designed to have. Mr. Swope, interrupting,
administered a merited rebuke to the rowdies upon
the outside, regretting, at the same time, the dis
grace which they had brought on the - fair fame of
Clearfield. The sheriff of the county, a conscien
tious Democrat, came to the rescue, and succeeded
in drawing away his friends .to their own meeting,
where they could indulge as much they pleased is
their boasted liberty of speech.
Judge Shannon continued undaunted, and held
his audience in fixed attention until the close, To
the credit of his auditors, they maintained through
out the strictest order, though, had the cowardly
men calling themselves Democrats avowed them
selves, they would have had much reason to fear
"the wrath of patient men."
It was universally admitted that the Union meet
ing exceeded in size its opponent down the street,
and it certainly was conducted in a manner which
reflected credit upon the cause in which the re
spectable people of Clearfield are embarked.
After the close of the meeting we attended that of
the Democracy, and felt another evidence of the de
generacy of that once great party that in the olden
time reckoned in its ranks some of the beat men of
that county.
These are the men who complain that they have
not an unlicensed freedom of speech, and to show
to what length they permitted their own unbridled
tongues to length
the Government, while not a word
in behalf of the Union is permitted to be spoken in
their hearing, let us instance a passage or two of
Mr. George Northrop's, who was addressing the
Democrats after the Union meeting adjourned. He
said that it Governor Curtin should be again elected,
his hearers might rest assured there would be no
more elections in Pennsylvania. He further held
that if it should come to a question whether the
Government or Constitution should go down, that
the Constitution should be maintained at all
hazards. The Constitution might be trampled
upon, but the freemen of Pennsylvania would
register an. oath in heaven that they should de
fend it, in spite of power and Administration_
Abraham:Lincoln was compared to the King of
Dahomey. The Republicans were charged with
desiring a Union of broken legs and arms rather
than of united hearts. The' Democratic party was
said to be a sleeping babe and unless it soon woke
up it would be strangled to death by those who
fear its young strength. Mr. Northrop produced
the figures to show how the war was coating Penn
sylvania one-half of all her real estate, and if it
continued six months longer our State would be
forever bankrupt. The Republican party flaunted
the stars and stripes, when they ought to have the
skull and crossbones of a pirate ensign, This is
the kind of trash called free speech which the Demo
crate of Clearfield applauded to the echo. Had Mr.
Northrop indulged in a strain of genuine patriotism,
which his friends allege him incompetent to do, ha
might have been hooted from the stage.
It is gratifying, however, to announce to our
friends that there has lately been a great revul
sion in sentiment among the more intelligent people
of Clearfield, anti on election day the county will
redeem itself gloriously, and show that we have still
cause for thankfulness • that the Union cause Is
triumphant even in the dens of its enemies.
Mr. Finnie, of the Central Committee, Mr. Gra
ham, Mr. Swope, and other intelligent citizens of
Clearfield, who arranged the meeting, have mush
cause to feel gratified upon their success. It was
not thought that there were so many in the county,
who had determined to throw off their old allegiance,
and work heartily for the election of our popular
Chief Magistrate.
Whilst waiting for the down train at Tyrone, on
the following evening, an imprcniptulneeting of the
Union people of that town was heild near the
depot, and eloquently addressed by Judge Shannon.
The enthusiasm for Gov. Curtin is everywhere
showing it:self, and justifies the anticipations of the
sanguine friends of the Union cause in Pennsyl
vania.

On Wednesday evening there was an immense
gathering of the people at Holmeaburg, in the
Twentythird ward. At least three thousand were
in attendance, and there was unbounded enthusiasm.

ordained. - lie approves of I..ecession, and,like his friend
Buchanan. knows of no way by which a State may be
coerced. Virtually he is a Secessionist. To vote for such
a man is, in effect, to vote for the rebellion. [Applause. ]
The intolerance and insolence of the Southern Demo
cracy have gradually, but effectually, alienated the
people of the North. A few years since. Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, and Connecticut were Democratic.
but the taunts and insults of the fire-eaters produced
their fruit,, and now they are strongly Republican or
Union. [Cheers and great applause.] I think Pennsyl
vania gave 25,000 to .30,000 for General Jackson. Ohio
was once largely Democratic,so were Illinois and Mold
gan, but education and free thought have done their
work.
Yet; for years before the rebellion broke out. nearly
the whalapovernment was in the hands of Southerners
or their warm friends Buchanan, Cobb. Floyd,.Thomp
son. Black, Toncey., were all in the Southern uatereet.
No Northern man could obtain office, position, contract.
or recognition, until he declared fir the South. Occa
sionally., an, honest Northern politician would rebel:
then the hounds of the party were let loose, and the par
ts lash would he applied until the attempt was made to
degrade hint before the country- Governors Waiter and
Reeder, and Judge Kelley, and my kind friend Col. For
ney are examples in point. A hundred instances might
be given of the dishonesty of the leaders. but the indig
nities and ingratitude shown. to the lamented. Donates
are the most recent and most shameless. They feared
his power, his honesty, his independence, and they
hounded him into an early grave. [Applause.. ]
The muscrupuloueness of the leaders of the Democratic
party can st arcely be measured: let leant:flee, that they
have stopped at nothing, not even the murder of those
who stood in their way. I shall not hesitate to proclaim
what others may have thought, but have hesitated to
utter. net us bear in mind that this wicked rebellion
was begun more than .thirty yeara since, and that mea
sures, originally undertaken in fear and trembling, were
afterwards boldly and openly advocated. There are
those who believe that General Harrison fell a victim to
the conspirators. but Tyler lived because he aided their
views. James K. Polk fully sympathized with the trai
tors, consequently he escaped unharmed. General
Taylor was :tied a year, when he came to a sudden
death. Millard Fillmore. the meanest, the most willing.
and the most despicable tool the South has ever known.
was suffered to live in all his servility and slime. From
'SS to '57, Franklin Pierce gave all his sober moments to
his exacting Southern masters. To this hour he is loud
in his commendation of Jeff Davis and the other i• fel
lows of infinite jest," who absorbed all the evidences of
his manhood. Of course, he was suffered to live, be
cause, like Fillmore, no more willing tool could be found
to do the work of the South. Before and after his nomi
nation and election, the Southern leaders distrusted
James Buchanan. They knew he had always been a
trimmer; they knew that _andrew Jackson despised.
him; they knew -that he was cold-blooded, selfish,
cowardly, and it was resolved to put him out
of the way, especially as Breckinridge was wholly
theireal Yen' all remember the wholesale poisoning
at the National Hotel? Many theories were started
at the time to account for this monstrous piece of
iniquity, but no one who weighs all the attending cir
cumstances can hesitate to endorse my belief that this
was but one of the enormities in the great drama of
Southern rebellion. Buchanan, it is true, escaped with
his lire, but his health was impaired. while his intellect
suffered greatly, and his heart, always cold, was turned
to stone. He fell an easy prey to the conspirators; in
fact, the thief, Floyd kthe charlatan. Cobb; and the poor
tool. Thompson, carried him, in turn, in their breeches
pockets. This unworthy son of Pennsylvania, who dis
honored his old age by betraying Democratic principles,
who shamed his manhood by many acts of ingratitude
to the constant friends of life, who had not the moral
courage to declare for his country when traitors threat
ened its dissolution—this poor old man, the contempt and.
jeer of his cour try, the shunned of his neighborhood.
the pity of the good, the scorn of the patriotic—this poor
old uan lives a warningi and a terror to all public men
in thefuture. [Langhter. ]
Now, .I. distinctly and solemnly charge upon the Dreckin
ridge wing of the Democratic party the crime of planning
the murder of President Lincoln on his way from Havre
de-Grace, Maryland. and Baltimore, before his inaugu
ration; and it was well understood that if he escaped
death at this time then be was to be shot down in the
streets of Washington. But for the precaution of Gen_
Scott Washington city would have been the scene of a
terrible crime, involving. perhaps, a thousand EPOS,
incluoing that . of the President. Now,
what Democrat
in the free and enlightened North will longer consent to
be Identified with these Southern cowards and murde
rers. calling themselves Democrats? lam to-daya bet
ter Democrat than ever before. I hold fast to the old doc
trines and traditions which made the Democratic party a.
great, resuectable, controlling power. But I am not a
Breckinridge Democrat; a Copperhead; a contriver of
murder; a rebel, and a traitor. As a good Democrat,
shall vote against -Woodward, and for Curtin who Will
do all in his power to sustain the GOTerii,Merke and keep
the old fag Ideal
The Democratic Party of the North owes to the Demo
cratic party of the South nothing but contempt and.
hatred. For sixty years, the Southerners used us to ad
vance all their political schemes. When they thought
they could do without us, they slammed the door in our
faces and left us out in the cold, to shift for ourselves.
The worst tyrants and most heartless, cold-blooded a risto
erns in the world are the Southern and Northern leaders
of the Democratic party. I cannot follow these men. I
diet rubt them. They are ambitious and selfish, and their
opposition to the Government and the war springs front
the meanest of motives. They would, from selfish con
siderations, preserve the Democratic party, as a means
of rising again to place and power, rather than eavestheir court: ry. This is not Democratic doctrine. "Our

To the Editor of The Press:
SIR : Last evening we had a large and enthusiastic
Curtin and Agnew meeting in this place. Able and
patriotic speeches were made by Colonel Fisher, of
the Pennsylvania Reserves ; Colonel Ryerson, of
the 10th New Jersey, and D. B. Green, Esq., chair
man of the Union County Committee. Colonel
Fisher spoke effectively, and gave many cogent
reasons why Judge Woodward should not be elected
Governor, and why Governor Curtin should be re
elected by a large majority. Colonel Ryerson,
whose regiment is on duty here in the county—it
bring necessary in the Copperhead districts that - act
armed force should be stationed here to insure the
security of life and property during the enrolment
and draft—stated distinctly that he was a War De
mocrat so long as there was an armed rebel in the
land or a Union gun to bring him to subjection. He
belonged to the school of such Democrats as An.
drew Jackson, Andrew Johnson, Joseph Holt,a.
J. Walker, General Butler,Burnside, Dix, Grant,
Logan, and many others, an despised the course of
Seymour, Wood, Vallandigham, Woodward, Reed,
Biddle, Ingersoll, and Hughes. The speakers spoke
favorably of Judge Woodward as a citizen, but
they proved conclusively that his record as a public;
man at this time was against him ; that he was a
man of doubtful loyalty; that he was ruts.
ring upon and endorsed a platform that approved
of the course of Vallandigham, and that the last
bid of the Judge:was a sort of eleventh-hour repent
ance that will nOt be received by the people, The
