We have heard the Union shout, We have weighed the matter very well "And mean to fight it out; In victory's happy glow, In the gJocm of utter rout, Wc have pledged ourselves "Come weal or woe, By heaven ! we fight it out." Tis now too late to question What brought the war about : 'Tis a thing of pride and passion, And wc mean to fight it out Let the "big wigs" use the pen, Let them caucus, let them ppout, We are half a million weapened men And mean to fight it out Our dead, our loved, arc crying, From man a stormed redoubt, In the swamps and trenches lying "Oh, comrades, fight it out! 'Twas our comfort as wc fell To hear your gathering shout, Rolling back the rebels' weaker yell God speed you, fight it out !' The negro free or slave Wc care no pin about, But for the flag our fathers gave Wc mean to fight it out ! And while that banner braye One rebel rag shall flout, With volleying arm, and flashing glaive By heaven, we fight it out ! Oh, we've beard the rebel yell, We have heard the Union shout, Wc have weighed the matter very well And mean to fight it out ; In the flush of perfect triumph, And the gloom of utter rout, We have sworn on many a bloody field "We mean to fight it out!"

" Well,'' rcplied the boarder, "I found a hair in the butter this morning, but it did not prove you had a woman in it." The two men looked at each other for about ten seconds, when each smiled and went his way, no doubt pondering on the peculiarities of circumstantial evidence. OCT The Rev. Robert J. Breckinridge, last week, beautifully defined a Kentucky Copperhead to be a man that "had a double grainod love for the nigger and a double grained hatred of the Government a man who hates the Government because he loves nc;ro slaves better than his own soul." The Kentucky 'critlur' is surprisingly like the Pennsylvania. 03" Two boys were reading the McClel lan placard : What's C. B. for I What's his name!" said one. "Gun Boat McClellan," was the reply.

JOHK" WENTWORTH 023" VALLAND IGHAM. On Saturday night, preceeding the Democratic National Convention, says correspondent to the N. Yi Tribune, Val iant! lghain made a set speeeh to a crowd of 10,000 persons, from the North steps ot the Chicago Court-House. lhc har- rangue was soaked in gall and wormwood against the Administration, and was fierce in invective against the further prosecu tion of the war. The crowd was composed ot Irish and Butternuts chiefly, with sprinkling of Republicans drawn thither by curiosity, to hear what the "martyr would have to say. He was vociferously applauded at the end of every sentence. A knot of clacquers about the steps and stand would give the sigual for cheering, and the rabble would then strike in. A mong the listeners at the outskirks of the meeting was "Long John" Wentworth, who towered up a head and shoulders a bovc the .crowd. For some time past "Jolm" has not been, in very good stand ing in the Republican party, but has been bowmjr somewhat toward the Fremont mnvnmnnr nnn line tnnn otrm and has been savinjr. that if the Democratic Convention would nomi nate candidates on a war platform, he did not know but he might be tempted to sup port them. Then, when Vallandigham had finished his two hours' declamation against the Government and the continuance of the war, in which ho denounced the doctrine of "coercion" and contended for the "sov ereignty of the States" and the right of secession, some one iu the crowd called out "Long John" "Long John." Hun dreds of others joined in the call for Long John to speak. Iu obedience to the "call" John made his way to the stand and was introduced to the crowd by Dr. Wicker sham, chairman of the meeting. The Copperheads generally expected that John was going to deliver a 'Democratic' speech and give in his adhesion to the opposition Vallandigham iu his speech had declared that one-third of the Republicans had gone over to ins party! and it was sup-, nosed bv manv that Wentworth was one of the "third" nunciation ?" Below I send you a verbatim report of At this point of his remarks, the Cop his remarks.
