It w-os a beautiful evening Jn the. dawn of summer. forms were.sitting in close prox imity to eife another by the window df a,twelve thnusftbd dollar bouse—heavily mortgaged—in the upper part of this city. TltChand of one rested Joveingly on that ,of the other, and-the arm of one described a. semi-circle round the other's waist. It is, hartjly. necessary “to say that they were lover’s, and that this was as far as the young man could goin geometry. There was no light in the room, but there was no oc casion fot any, with her taper.waist and spark ling eyes and his flaming words. This is a sample of their small talk. “Dearest Anna toll, oh tell me what I can do to make myself more worthy of yonr love. Bid me undertake' any mission you please, and I will obey. Aye, even though it be—to cut ray hair short—sacrifice my moustache —wear large boots, or work for my living—speak, any thing you may command me.” “O George! calm yourself. Do not speak in this terrible strain ; you 1 make me shudder. —No, George, I love you for yourself alone.” —Then placing her hand gently upon -his brow, she murmured, “soft, my love, speak soft, my own, and tell hie do you love me as much as ever, and will l ever be the same to you as I am now 7” “Hear me swear?” cried the ardent youth, dropping Upon his knees fur the first time ip his life, but suddenly rising with a troubled expression of countenance,.as something.put him in mind of the tightness of his neither apparel. “0 Anna, there is not a coat adorns any tai lor's window on Broadway, that has so high a ) lace in my affections as yourself!! You are to mpwhat slander and gossip are to young church members, or'funerals to manied women—my life, my ambition, my hope, my all! A few days more and we shall be united forever. I can scarcely realize my happiness.” The fair one blushed and nestled closer to the vest pattern of the happy youth. So we leave thetA. It was a dark and gloomy night, two days before the time appointed for tluinuptial cere monies of the young pair. George bent his way, full of joy, hope and and supper, to the mansion of his beloved. He rang the bell and was ushered into the parlor. Anna was not there and after waiting a few moments, he re solved to decend the stairs to the dining-room, ostensibly to seek for her, but most probably with visions? of spoons dancing through his ever-teeming brain. With sthaltby steps he approached the door and suddenly opened it, when there burst upon his astonished gaze a sight which froze the blood within his veins. Upon the dining room table lay many dishes and other articles of crockery. Before it, with dishevelled hair and fuckcd-up gown stood Anna, a huge carving knife in her hand, which she was in the act of plunging—into a pan of hot water. 'She had been caught in the act of doing housework! With one loud shriek she fell to the floor, while her distracted and bewildered lover rushed from the house. It is heedless to add that the engagement along with several brittle cups, was '■broken on the spot. Thus' were two fund and doting hears irrevocably separated !

A meeting was held the other day by these old party hocks, whose reputations are ns battered and soiled as an old and addresses sent forth to the United States.' This formidable pronunciation, after circulating five or six weeks, got just four teen signatures. ' n i Unavoidable we presume, on pub lic business, .prevented the names of Sowell Cobb, Jefferson, Davis, Jesse D. Bright, Hum phrey Marshall, Ouetavus A. Henry, Wigfall, and Neiie Brown, from adding their lustre to this newly-rising-galaxy of patriots. So much for the authorship of. this address. And now let us see what are its provisions. The,first proposition is conceived in the very spirit of selfish intolerenpe ns far removed from patriot ism and genuine Democratic feeling its anything that can be imagined. “The present (administration was chosen by a party, and in pll its civil ,acte and appoint ments has recognized, and still does, its fealty and'oblifiatiomi tn that party. There must and will be an opposite m.” Vallandighanil and his crowd want to con tinue in Office, and got Ibeir old friends back again, and for thia purpose “there must be op position” to the present Administration. We thought that, as the nation was struggling with a mighty rebellion, it was the duty of all citi zens, without seek nr party, to fly to the suppoit of tbs officers who had been put incommand of the laboring ship!of State, in order torescu her passengers and stjve her precious cargos, “No,” say the fourteen, “the first thing is to settle the question as to what kind of a flag thoship must carry. And next, we must have the officers.— Nobody has confidence in us. We. were turned out of office for bad conduct, but tbe ship shall i perish unless we arc restored.” But the tells a monstrous falsehood when it says thatiin “all its civil acts and ap pointments, the Administration has recognized its fealty and obligations to party,” It is an | impudent glaring lie. Whom did President Lincoln offer to (appoint Secretary of War? Joseph Holt, a Sohthern Democrat, who is in deed worthy of thle name of Democrat. Whom did ho appoint Secretary of war? Hon. E. M. Stanton, another Uife-long Democrat. Whom did he nominate ay Major. General of the U. S, armies ? George' B. McClellan, another firm, unwavering Democrat. What are General Du mont, General Buell, and General Ilalleck ? Democrats, nominated by President Lincoln, and .confirmed by a Senate, overwhelmingly Republican. The ,of the address to make out the fantest shadow of a pretext for the plot wera compleUgd tn insert a falsehood. Had we space, we mould enumerate hundreds of other appointments—Andrew Johnson, as Governor of Tennessee, for example—who have ever been warm political enemies to the Presi dent. , But let us forbear. - The next proposition ,U a most significant one, .showing clearly that this address of the fourteen is to tickle}the ears of Southern trai tors. “To begin the great work of restoration, the ballot-box is to kill Abolition. The bitter wa ters of Secession flowed first, and are fed still , from the unclean, fountain of Abolitionism.— That fountain mustlbe dried up. _ “In this great wilrk, we cordially invito the co-operation 6f all men of every party who are opposed to-the’ fell spirit of Abolitionism; and who, in sincerity, dffrire the Constitution as it is, ond.the Union as it was. i Let the dead paat bury its dead. Rally, lovers of the Union, the Constitution, and of Liberty, .to the standard of the Democratic party, already in the field', and confident of victory. That party is the -natural and presistoat enemy of-Abolition." • Look at,this attentively. What is the .first duty of the people? j To .put Sown the rebell ion, and restore the supremacy of the Federal laws in the revolted States/ That is what we bid thought.-- That is what the loyal men of -Tennessee, .and Kentucky, and Missouri, .and -Virginia and Maryland eay—Jpljnson, an( j Campbell, and .Prentice, and John M. Botts, and .Gamble, and others. 'Not one word does this address say about putting down and crush 4 ing out the Southern conspiracy. It utters no rebuke against the-rabe.ls. It deprecates, nei ther bridge burning, our wire cutting,,nor guer rilla marauding, nor destroying railroad care, ] kvuv L~»>t utm. vwv v~--nx ~< —i rvw > Mtff-J nor. any Confederate outrages. It .is os dumb as the grave on-ithe horrors now sweeping over devoted East Tennessee, the' home 'of martyrs and patriots. , It condemns not’ the barbarity .of the rebel Government towards oor gallant ■ prisoners. It has no condemnation of the in famous conscription not norwittfering invective to pour out like molten lava on the heads of the rebels, who are burning cotton and sugar crops, and desolating the South. Then it speaks no cheering words of congratulation fiir our gallant and heroic soldiers, who have loft their farms, and shops, and pleasant firesides, to save the Government, and keep etep.ta the sublime music of the Union under the flag of the Re public. '.lt does not.even.hint what every intel ligent man knows to be the fact, that theprime and moving cause, the fountain head and source bf this rebellion, is a determination on the part of Southern officeholders' and corrupt aristo crats to destroy free government and build up a monarchy or.ariatooraoy.on the ruins of Dem ocratic institutions. . • , The man whorls ignorant of this, is'ignorant I of the speeches, addresses, resolutions and ■ newspapers of tHe Cotton Stales for the last , twenty years. He is ignorant of the celebra ted speech of “Hon. L.- ! W. Spratt, one of the i leading men of South Carolina, who declared that ‘'Slavery cannot share a Govcrni/icui with the Democracy!” “Slavery having achieved ; one victory to escape'Democracy at the North, must achieve Another io escape it at the South !” Ho must bo ignorant of the declaration of Vice President Stephens, as reported by the Sanan nah Republican, that “Slavery” —not Democ racy, mark ycov or the right of man to rule himself—hut, "slavery is the chief corner-stone of our Government. The ideas of the framers of the old Federal Constitution were funda mentally wrong,” In these declarations of the rebellion, which we are obliged to cut short for want of spacer—for they could bo extended in definitely—we find the true cause of ih'is hell ish rebellion. It was enmity to free Govern ment. It was a determination on the part of an aristocratic clique, not to submit to the peo ple, and be controlled by'an “ignorant majori ty,” as we heard John Orßrecfcinridge say, at Hopkinsville, Kentucky, in the summer of 1861, As a further proof of this, the Democratic par ty was hopelessly split at Baltimore, a year be fore Lincoln came into power, and split by the very men who issue this address. It is also to be remarked that on the advent of Mr. Lincoln to the Presidency, the House of Representa tives, Senate, and Supreme Court, were in the hands of the Democratic party. Why, then, aid the cotton wing fly off and set up, a new Confederacy ?-The Northern Douglas Democ racy would not bo controlled by Urn insolent Buchanan Democracy, and so a disruption took place. But this address of the inglorious four teen goe.s on to glorify the Buchanan-Ootton Democracy in this grandiloquent manner: “It is the only party capable of carrying on a war; it is the only party which has ever con ducted a war to a successful issue, the Only party which.has done it without abuse of pow er, without molestation to the rights of any class of citizens, and with due regard to econo my. All ibis has been done; "all this, if need be, it is able tn be-done again. If success, then, in a military point of view be required, the Democratic party qlone Can command it.” It then;proceeds to say that its restoration (that is, of and company,) to power is demanded .by the following consideration : ‘‘Economy and honesty fn the public expen- , ditu'res, now at the rate of four millions of dol lars iv day; ’demand it.l’ , Sucb'qeonomy, for instance, ns that of Bu- , ohanan’s Secretary of War John B. Floyd, that, ; paragon cf virtue, and such honesty as that of , Isbnm G. Harris. ; “The rapid accumulation of an enormous and permanent public debt, demand it—a pub lic debt already-one thousand millions of dol lars, and equal at the present rate in three years, to England’s debt of a century and a half in growth.” It is a dreadful thing to go in debt, isn’t it, tn save the nation 7 The war should be carried on fur little or nothing. In fact, it would have been better, as Buchanan thought, to have no war at a)!. . Just let our Southern friends alone. The “thousand million” story, is a big lie. “Reducing wages, low prices, depression of trade, decay of business, scarcity of work, and impeding ruin on every side, demand it.” Every body knows that the "reduced wages” etc., are all the fault of Lincoln. The loss of fat salaries by the Southern friends, also “de mands it,” but the fourteen are quite too mod est to say eo. We bare our own opinion as to the rebel ori gin of this damnable attempt. The Southern rebel-leaders are atthebottmn of it. Nothing is more, certain than this to our minds. The chiefs of the rebellion see that their work is about to prove a disastrous failure, and so they send word to'this effect tb their Northern allies: "Give us two or three tree States to vote for our men, and we will bring back the Cotton States in solid phalanx, and bold the offices to gether as before.” This is certainly the pro gramme. Will the p'oplo see it performed ? " Fellow citizens, all you who love your conn try, by whatever name you have been known in the past,.let us frown down all such misera bly selfish plots of partisans os this which we have been reviewing, and, casting asidlall old party lies, unite together on the broad platform of the Union.

Ltd us all be true’ Dfiion men, true democrats, true re? publicans - not in a. partizan, but in a national sense. .We close this article with a quotation .from the last letter written by the hold, patriot ic, and lamented Douglas.

FEOM: TEE BUCK-TAILS.. . .. House Landio, Va.,l ■ June 10, 1862. ‘ J Fbiesk Agitator.— Woare now on board the Steamer; South 'America, on the Paonmn key River, near the White House, on our way to join the general army before Richmond, It will no doubt surprise -the readers of the Agitator, to learn that McCall’s division is nil longer in .Gen. McDowell's Corps, but has been transferred to McClellan's ‘command. Such, however, is the fact, and so short was the time between foe order to be ready to leave, and the order to march, that I was obliged to leave an unfinished 1 letter, to your readers, and strike my tent, sling my knapsack,'and s tart for'the wharf. Last Sunday noon, wo received orders to be ready to move at a moment’s notice, ami - about 4 o’clock in the afternoon, word came to march to the boat, which was then eleven miles below Fredericksburg. The night was a lovely one, and I never saw our men in better Spirits/ ' for they were all anxious to be to bo in-thi great battle of'Richmond, which will no doubt, decide tbisjrebellion. '. ■ ; Our walk of eleven miles’Hbat night, by tha lightof the moon, was through arioh forming country. >V e slept from midnight till daylight,- ~ on the bank of the'riverain the grass. The pioneers were busy all Bight i fixing a wharf, and at daylight, we ware ready to embark. We - left the landing -at 9 o’clock, and anchored about sunset for 1 the night, paving sailed 90 miles, down one of the finest rivers I ever saw.- This beautiful river winds its way tbrongh a good farming country! or one that might be grand, if it !was settled by the working Yan kee nation. There are a few jgrand location* situated on the banks of the river, and suround ed with a splendid shade; they are also surrounded with something which spoils the beauty, and casts a gloom over the whole plan tion, and that is a village of little huts, where tha chained spns and daughters of Ham are dragging out a life of ignorance - and misery; i We met with no wolcon«i cheers from the white class of people, but it was astonishing to see the swarms of (slaves'which congregated along, the banks- at every plantation] to wave their hands, and try [to express their feelings of joyi at the sight of [Union soldiers, jin many cases, there would frqm,7s to 100 women, children, and old men, cbme down ,in a company, many" them tottering with age, and waive their canep; shout and dance with joy, -until we were out of sight. Every plantation is a ijttle-world byi itself, where a family can live a retired life, and, work, and execute their own laws,-school their own children, and thrash their .own slaves,, without being protested by-their neighbors, for the most of them are so far separated from each other that if aman should visit iis next neigh bor, he would wlant a haversack and three days’ rations, or starve on the way. ! The day was a beautiful one, and a finer trip no one could ask for. Our boat is large, and. and not half as badly packed as many, others • on the river. This morning, we started at day - light amid a dreadful storm, ;and sailed down, the bay and up York River, tb Wept Point, their up the Paumunky to this place. We halted for the night, because our pjlot waa imacquaintod with tbe course. ’ The bay was rough for one unaccustomed to the sea/ and/many of the boys “heaved up Jonah." - [■ ,■ j There are-many interesting ifoms I would like to'mention, but time will not [permit : Yorktown, this celebrated town, which bas - so long been noted in history 4-the -one where.' Washington and Gornwallas fought, and the c one where McClellan ami Davis: fought, igfohe i of the .most insignificant-places, that ever bada name. Yorktown and Gloucester, both would not mak&a'small northern village. York River is very strait, but not Beat as bice as the Rap. - pahannook, WeSt.Point is not a village,but it reminds me of a-few white washed! Irish huts, - along some public works. The without any exceptions, the crbokedest river I ever saw, and as a comical soldier expressed himself on the way up, “It was a shame to have so fine a river, laid-oot in so bad a shape, and the man that plowed the first furrow was drunk, and if it had taken place nt [the present time, he would be court marshcled.” The banks of this river are very low and marshy,; and for miles the forest is and looks ns though no foot had ever pressed: its soil.— there is not one fine residence on this river, not from Yorktown here, and there is abta village one half os large as Tioga, from Fredericksburg to the White House, a distance of (200 miles,. along broad rivers where ocean steamers pan navigate rivers which ought.tol be dotted with, towns and cities, and would in' any lother por tion of,America. ■-] '. | ‘ We have passed since yesterday morning,- over 1000 ships, steamers, and transports, all.' told, and many of them-are in this river loaded with provisions, forage,and government stores.,. We ate now twenty-five miles ifrom Richmond,: I understand we take the oars;in the morning and run up to the] main army.whkhJs fo«t,be ing augmented. ' i | My time is up, and I must close. This will. barve to let you know where the sons of old' Tioga are, and on what tattle field (wo are. to ; fight for tbs land of our birth and; flag that waves above os. ; Got, ;Cbocij,ett.
