Do you see yonder line of marching men ?
Ko sleep last night, and .to-day a forced march;
Thirty-five long miles has the distance been;
Ses how brows flush, how their dry lips parch'
-They halt for the night in a field and bivouac, 7
Do yon w onder how they eat their coarse fare ? -
'Pitiless torrents-from the clouds have broke,
• Look, they sleep! Mother, thy son's lying there!
The morrow renews the toil of to-day,
The loads on our backs, and our blistered feet
jMake the third day's march, everything bat play,
r And the fourth night, we have no food to eat
Two days have passed, since-food has touched our lips,
■While alarms, marching, fighting, alternate,
Constant as the needle to the magnet dips, :
These brave and-gallant spirits watch and wait.
The air is thick with groans and sulphurous smoke;
Deep-mouthed cannon vomit death o'erlhe plain;
The sharp, rattling rollies are sadly broke
By the cries of the wounded among the slain.
" Prepare for the charge,” is the stern command,
Do you ask if he now feels a fear 7 Yes,
All brave men fear, such i 6 nature’s demapd; "
Soul conquers—trial proves his the firmest breast.
Off to the left rings the bugle’s loud peal
As the charging squadron “ onward,” shout;
Long lines of dame, fire, and glittering steel
Meet the shock—a rush, the fierce struggle, a rout.
Let’s hurry on, 'tig sickening to dwell
dn these heart-rending horrors—sad, sad theme i
The inanimate pen may shrink to tell #
The dread secrets of Manassas’ dark plain.
The roar of battle "wanes, there is. a lull,
But Otj.the monuments of life’s broken links 1
With pleading moan and prayer, the air is fall,
The crimsoned sun in woeful sorrow sinks !
Oh agony! Keen anguish wrings the heart!
Defeat, unmerited defeat is our parti
But bndings fill the air,
Oh God ! the soul cries out with very pain
At this deep bitterness, and such dark stain,
For Trkacheby was there J
The vict’ry’s ours, and battle stained, the array sleep,
He guards‘this living trust to-night—its vigils keep,
Potomac’s bank marks the limit of his beat;
Her waters sound like voices gliding at his feet,
So quiet and peaceful the scene, and so fair,
He’s almost forgotten, his business is-^war.
Now a soft gleam of light through a rifted cloud,
Drive away the dark shadows—night's sable shroud;
And from the bushes on tbe opposite shore,
A steel gleam -is seen, for an instant—no more.
Are the rebels concealed on tbo other side ?
Behind every and cover, they hide,
And'like loosed demons —Did you hear that? Hark !
Assassins shoot pickets—but he missed his mark.
A quiet Hospital 'mid fresh green trees;
That cool (he warm breath of tbe summer breeze.
Yes, he’s there, laid low by cruel disease
War's chief Attendant, unbending os Fate.
Bat kind hearts, and lips that say '* thou” and 44 thee”
Are there : but still too much of a rarity—
Tbo gentle bands, good “ Sisters of Charity”
By Heaven sent, from every noble State.
“ Can't you come and sit a little while by my bed ?
Thank you, that’s so gratefully cool to my head”
A weak, tremulous voice, faintly said,
“ It seems like home when you’re present and near.”
u Yes, - bravo boy ; I’d gladly make it so ;
Keep up thy courage, the long weeks wane slow.
But tbe crisis ie past, tby cheeks ’gin to glow,
Tbe talisman of Health, Is already here.”
-i4‘—-
In careless attitude, the soldier loiters
About the entrance to neat, cozy quarters.
One narrates very curious hair breadth 'scapes,
Another unwinds the toils of seme “ lore scrapes.”
All add their “ yarn" or lend a listening car,
And bursts of low laughter attest their cheer,
“ Tattoo’’ rings through the camp, and soon the sound
of '“Taps’’
Warns “ Lights put,” and impartially invites to naps.
Take ft peep inside the tent now. friend !
Contentionalities are thrown-to the wind.
Many sound sleepers around ps lay
Which the better study, 'twefe bard to say;
Sed his lips still fresh, with that smile—just flown,
Hush Comrade, he’s dreaming of Homo !

THE BTBAROE CAVALXEB.
Let me tell your fortune, pretty ladies—very
good fortune to you ma’am, cried a dark-eyed
gypsy, as two ladies turned the corner of a
beautifully sequestered lane, while the last rays
of a gorgeous son were merging into the more
voluptuous tinge of- a summer twilight.
Oh, do let os have our fortunes told—l should
like to know my fortune ! exclaimed the young
er of the ladies, who leant upon the arm of her
companion.
“Nonsense, Annette,” rejoined her friend,
and by,this time they had reached the spot
where the sybil was standing. Her appearance
fully demonstrated her tribe; her face was of
The most swarthy hue, but interesting in the
expression ; her eyes were jet black ; and her
dark which hung disheveled over her
neck and shoulders, were partly concealed by
a small tiat that was tied under the .chin by a
parly colored handkerchief, while her figure, of
no ordinary mould, was encumbered by the
faltered fragments of an old red cloak. The
ladies paused for an instant to contemplate the
object befoce them.
“I oan tell -you,” said she, addressing the
younger lady, what, mayhap, you will not like
to bear. You will love, but you will not be
loved again ; you will sigh, but no sigh will be
returned to you ; you will weep, tears will fall
on your cheek like dew on the summer flower,
that dries but receives fresh moisture.”
Without uttering a word, the ladies now
turned, and hastily pursued their way home
ward. They had wandered, attracted by the
beauty of the evening, farther than they bad
intended. The Baroness D , for so we
must introduce .her to our readers, had -taken
under her protection Annett Da M , who
was an orphan, and the sole remaining branch
of'a noble family. ‘The Baroness D bad
herself been left an orphan at an early age.—
She had afterward married the Barron D ,
who had been dead about two years at the time
onr story commences, leaving her- without
progeny, her only child having died in its in
fancy. She bad inherited her husband’s vast
estates, and was at this time residing in her fa
vorite castle, situated in the most beautiful of
the midland counties of England.
The ladies silently pursued their way until
they reached the extensive avenue that formed
the barrier to the noble domain. Trees of reg
ular but enormbus height were thickly studded
oa either side, and the Baroness frequently
started at the echo of their footsteps, as she
pressed forward with her young companion.—
■The moon had risen and now shone in sikery
brightness, while not a zephyr, fanned the foli
age, nor a whisper broke upou the stillness of
"WHILE THESE SHALL BE A' WRONG UNSIGHTED, ASH HNTIL '‘‘jEiis’S INHUMANITY TO MAH" SHALL CEASE, AGITATION MUST CONTINUE.

the-night. : They had reached about the middle
of the avenue, when they were alarmed by the
sound of horses' hoofs. . Bath started and fear
fully-looked behind, them ; the figure.of a man
on horseback was; distinoly visible; .retreat or
.flight was alike impossible, for in another min
ute a cayalier, in complete armor, and mounted
on a panting charger, stood beside them.;-In
the next moment the knight-sprung from the
saddle-haw, and falling gracefully upon one
knee before the Baroness, exclaimed:
"Fair Indy, deign to take pity on a stranger
knight, who is pursued by his enemies i.even
now," cried he, with increased trepidation, “is
a price set upon my bead; my party have been'
defeated by some of Cromwell's army, and a
number of my followers are slain, Deign then,
kind lady, to grant me pn asylum in your man
sion for the night only; and I pledge' you on
the faith of a true.knigbt to requite your hospi
tality.” j
“Sir Knight," replied the baroness, “your re
quest is granted ; it la enough for me to know
that you are n royalist, and in danger; follow
us then, and I promise you a safe retreat."
The cavalier arose, and was profuse in his
expressions of thankfulness. In silence they
now pursued their way, until they reached the
principal entrance of the castle. The baron
ess rung at the massive portal, and in a few
seconds it, was .opened by an aged domestic.
“Morden, see that yon steed lacks not proper
food; and for you, Sir Knight, I bid you wel
come ; you need not be apprehensive, 1 am mis
tress here, and there is none to thwart mo.”
They were now ushered by several domestics
through suitvof. rooms, until they came to one
brilliantly illuminated, and furnished in a-style
of magnificence suited to the time; the walls
were of oak, richly! carved; and the ceiling
which formed a cupola, was of the same mate
rial. Upon a marble pedestal, stood an ala
baster chandelier, in which were numerous
lights, that gave a brilliancy to the whole apart
ment. The Baroness politely motioned her
guest to a seat, and ordered the supper pres
ently to be ready. When the dotaestics bad
quitted the apportment, she arose, and taking
a small silver lamp from a table near her, she re
quested the cavalier to follow her.
“Sir Knight,” continued she, “while the do
mestics are preparing! our repast, I will show
you where you may conceal yourself, and
where, even should your pursuers demand an
entrance, they cannot discover you,”
Then turning to ber’young friend, ejie said,
in a teno of assumed: gaiety. '‘Annette, my
love, take your lyre, it will while away the time
till onr return saying this, she quitted the
room, followed by the strange cavalier.
They proceeded through a long suite of rooms
which terminated in a', winding gallery ; here
they paused to ujpook a door, which discovered
a narrow stair-case; having ascended several
steps,, they found themselves in a spacious apart
ment arras. It was perfectly square. The bar
oness advanced to one;, side of the room, and
lifting the banging, gently touched an unseen
spring; instantly one of the pannele disap
peared, and displayed a room of more spacious
dimensions than the former.
"Hero, then. Sir Knight," exclaimed the Bar
eness,'“you may find a safe retreat; I will my
self teach you the virtue of the spring, that in
case of a surprise, you may, without difficulty,
find your way to this apartment.”
Having satisfied herself that her guest was
acquainted with the method of opening the
panel, the Baroness hastened to return te the
saloon, fearful that Annette might be uneasy at
her absence.
The dulcet notes of the lyre, reached the
apartment. Annette expressed her joy at their
return ; and at the request of the cavalier, sung
a ballad with exquisite pathos and harmony.
Sapper was 'now spread; the Baroness cour
teously invited her guest to partake of the rich
.viands that were set before him. The repast
being ended, they entered into an interesting
discussion upon the probable result of the fatal
wars that had harrassed every part of that
kingdom. The discourse had lasted about an
hour, when the hearts of all present seemed to
stand still, as a loud knocking was beard at the
portal.
“Fly, Sir Knight,” cried the Baroness, hasti
ly putting a lamp into his hand ; “your pursu
ers are here—but fear nothing—remember the
■secret spring !” The cavalier pressed the hand
from which he took the lamp, and hastily quit
the appartment.
The kno ( king was now renewed with re
doubled violence; and the domestics were or
dered to give parley. It was, indeed, some of
Cromwell's party, who were in quest of their
unfortunate victim. They loudly demanded ad
mittance which the Baroness, anxious to pro
long for a while, desired her servonts
to refuse. Soon, however, they accompanied
their knocking A'ith threats, apd the porter was
desired to suffer them to enter. A party of
soldiers now rushed into the hail. They soon
found their way to the saloon, were the Baron
ess and Annette were seated in trembling agi
tation. The foremost of the party, who seemed
the chief in command, now spoke—
“We believe you to bo the Baroness D ,
and as such take you , .to be an adherent of
Charles Stuart; we, therefore, command you,
in the name of the commonwealth, instantly to
deliver up him you have concealed within these,
walls. This is our general’s pleasure.”
“Yon are correct in the conclusion you have
formed of me,” rejoined the Baroness ; “but
be whom you seek is not here ; but go," she;
continued, “you have free access to every part,
of my mansion.”
No sooner bad the Baroness ceased speaking,
than the soldiers quitted the room to commence
their search,.
About an hoar elapsed, daring which time
tbs two ladies sat in a trembling state of anxi
ety and apprehension. At length a heary
tread announced the return of the' beseigers.—-
Their voices Were raised as if in deep alterca
tion ; as they approached the saloon, it annk
into audible murmurs, accompanied by mut
tered threats and imprecations. The leader of
the band re-entered the apartment, and eaid,
'“we find tfaat we have, been mistaken, lady ;
bat beware that you do not harbor any traitor,
for you. would'sorely repent your rashness.”
The man then quitted the room, and oom-
Fkiend Agitator. —Again I find myself seat
ed to relate to your readers a few of the inci
dents that have transpired daring the past
week. On Saturday morning, the 27th ult., we
received orders to march with tho regiment at
1 o’clock p. m. The orders were obeyed with
some reluctance, for we bad-just finished our
labor with the pick add spade,’ and did not wish
to change our position, unless they would, take
us to some place where we could use some oth
er weapons, and try our strength in a different
system of warfare. After a long and ■ weary
march, we halted near Fort Pennsylvania, soon
all were busy erecting their tents,, and before
.S o’cloek, all,was nicely arranged for sleep. —
Theuest day (Sunday) passed off well. There
was preaching in camp by our Chaplain,, and
mandifig the soldiers to follow: him, the. portal
pile#; more closed upon the unwelcome visitants.
jThe;Baioneas having-assured herself that peace
waslreskored, hastened, to that part of the castle
where she had secured the unfortunate stran
ger. dTs she; trod along the . epadious apart
ments,'she often paused to listen, and in imag-
i nation,' she (bought she coold hear the dread
ful imprecations .that had escaped the soldiers ;
but all was still, and she reached the door of
the captive knight.
Great was the cavalier’s joy at beholding her,
and profusely did be pour forth his expressions
of thankfulness to his deliverer. They contin
ued to converse upon what had passed for some
time after they bad reached the saloon. The
Baroness posted two of her domestics in the
great hall for the night, in case, of a second
alarm '; and her guest entreated permission to
watch with them, biit this his kind hostess would
not consent to. They now separated for the
night - j .
The next morning when they met at the
breakfast table, they recapitulated the events
of the preoeeding night, and a general thanks
giving wes offered to that Power which 1 had
protected them- If the Baroness ahd her
yoong friend bad been charmed with the ele
gant deportment of the young cavalier on the
previous evening, they were now not less de
lighted at the graceful polish of his manners,
and the refined intelligence that pervaded his
conversation. “When breakfast was over he
prepared to depart; but tbe Baroness so warm
ly urged tbe necessity of his remaining until
bis pursuers had quitted the precincts of the 1
castle, and so strongly animadverted upon the
probability that some secret emissary might be
lying in wait for him, that he consented to re
main for af few days.
The time passed uninterruptedly in agreea
ble and interesting discourse, which was occa
sionally varied by the sweet tones of the lyre,
to which Annette sung in strain of touching
melody, and at the request of the stranger
would frequently repeat her lay. It was on
the fifth day of the knight’s sojourn at the
castle. The Baroness, Annette, and the cava
lier were all seated in the saloon, watching the
shades of evening closing around them.
“To-morrow, iay kind friends, I must de
part,” exclaimed, the knight; “by dawn of day
my-steed must be in readiness," and, contin
ued he, addressing the Baroness, at tbe same
time unclasping from his kneck a gold chain of
exquisite workmanship “let ms present you
with this, and remember that you may claim
everything at my bands, for my debt to you
cannot easily bs repaid.” Saying this, he im
printed a kiss on the hand that was extended
toward him.
On the following morning, at dawn of day,
Morden was in the court yard, holding the bri
dle rein of the noble charger. In an instant
the knight had vaulted in his saddle ; the old
porter presented the stirrup-cup, then gave the
parting beneditfion. The knight gave one
glance at the window, where stood the Baron
ess and Annette, who bad both risen at an ear
ly hour in compliment to their goest; thrice be
saluted the fate inmates—in another minute
the horse and bia ridef bad disappeared.
It was on the 20fh of Slay, 1661, that Ibe
Baroness afad her friend were seated at an open
window in the spacious library ; . the castle
clock had, tolled the honr of noon—then aocus-,
turned dinner hour fur all persons of quality.
“We must begin onr journey to-morrow,
dear Annette,’/ exclaimed the Baroness, “for I
would behold our Monarch's triumphal entry
to the throne of hie ancestors; and who knows,”
continued she, as she gazed anxiously upon her
young friend’s pallid countenance—" who
knows but what we may see him who once
sought shelter within these walls ; such an
event would, I know, give my dear friend plea
sure."
Annette spoke not; but a pale blush over
spread her fine features ; still she remained si
lent. The remainder of the day was spent in
making preparations for their departure.
On the following morning, the two friends at
tended by a train of domestics, set out fur the
metropolis; and at the expiration of a week,
during which nothing particular happened, ar-,
rived at the entrance of the vast city. It was
on the very day that the populace were assemb
ling to welcome their sovereign.
Triumphal arches, decorated with flower and
interspersed with oak-boughs, were raised across
the road, and at intervals through every street..
The windows in all the' houses were adorned
with garlands, or hung with costly drapery;
the bells of the neighboring churches were send
ing forth a joyous peal, while drums and trum
pets resounded from every quarter. An im
mense multitude, bath in carriage and on foot,
thronged every aveirae.
The Baroness commanded her coachman to
drive up one side, as a deafening shdut rent the
air, intimating the monarch’s approach. An
other shont—and another ascended from the
people; all eyes were turned to one individual.
Mounted on d milk-white charger, his head un
covered, and repeatedly bowing to the multi
tude, sat —Charles II!
Baroness’s attention was suddenly called
to her young friend. She, too, looked that way,
but the'sight had been too much, for her—An
nette de Montmorency bad fainted. She had
seen the face before; it was the stranger Knight
—it was Charles Stcart.
From Capt. Phillips’ Company.
Frederick City, Oct. 4, 1862.
all appeared to respect , the day, as far as cir
cumstances would admit.
At the beating of tattoo, all was qaiet again,
but we were not allowed to remain so only for
a short time, for at eleven o’clock, orders came
to strike tents, pack knapsacks, cook three
days’ rations', and be ready to march at three
o’clock to Washington and take the-cars for
Frederick City. The order focook rations, was
soon countermanded by the Quarter Master,
that there were no provisions in camp. He was
immdiately sent off to Washington to have two
days’ rations of hard bread ready upon our
arrival tfaare. At the appointed hour, we took
up our line of march. All passed off pleasant
ly enough, until we arrived in the city, and
there for three long weary, miles, we had- to
march through! tbe streets, the dust at times
completely enveloping us ; and-to make it more
unpleasant, w« had to march in sections, and
keep in as good order as possible. At 8 o’clock
we arrived at the depot; the cars were not
ready, for us, and for five long‘hours we had to
wait in the dusty street and eat our hard crack
ers,'which was all we had for our breakfast.
' At one o’clock the welcome order came for
all to get aboard the cars, and in a short time
we were moving on towards our place of desti
nation. Our ride was far mure pleasant than
I had anticipated. From the Relay House tb
the Washington Junction, was the most beauti
ful scenery my eyes ever beheld. The moun
tains upon either side were covered with 1 a
dense forest. * The rough and towering rocks,
the beautiful murmuring river rushing along
over the wheels of factories and flouring mills,
all appeared conscious of their power to please
and benefit man. ’Tie while gazing upon so
much* beauty, the w-enry soldier forgets his
pain, and he can thank his Creator for giving
him those noble powers which toaoh all to ad l
mire the beautiful and good.
We arrived at this place at 2 o’clock a. m.,
and threw ourselves upon the ground, and
slept until morning, with naught to cover us but
our over-coats, and the broad canopy of heaven.
At 10 pj’clockwe were marched back a few rods "
into an open field where we still remain en
camped. We have neither .Cents or blankets, |
all were left behind ; and when we shall get
them I cannot tell, buf it does seem that; Uncle'
Sam might do a little better by us than be has
for the past week. You at home may think it
quite romantic to sleep upon the cold ground
through a cold rain, but 1 for oue can say that
it is not quite so pleasant as one could wish.—
Night and day the cars,are in motion, regiment
after regiment keep coming in. There is now
fifty thousand men,encamped around the city;
they are now leaving for Harper’s Ferry and
Sharpsburg as fast as possible, we shall follow
as soon as we get new guns, which we must
have before we go into a’fight, and if a person
can judge anything by the movements of troops,
I think that we shall see one soon. The pres
ent month, no doubt, will he ao eventful one
in the history of the war, and with the largo
army which we now have in the field, we must
certainly march on to victory. ’ Mazzkpa. |
A Babbit In a Battle.
AS INCIDENT OS THE BATTLF.-FU.D OF MALVSBS HILL.
A full -grown rabbit had hid himself away in
the ■ copse of a fence, which separated two
fields near the centre, aindrinost Exposed portion
of the battle ground.' Babbits are wont te
spend the day almost motionless, and in seem
ing dreary meditation. This .one could hare
but little thought—if rabbits think when chous
ing its place of retreat at early dawn, that
there would be an unwonted and ruthless dis
turbance.
Daring all the preparations made around its
lair throughout the forenoon it neverless re
mained quiet. Eatlyr however in the afternoon,
when the rage of battle had fairly begun, and
shot and shell were falling thick and fust in all
directions, a shell chanced to burst so near Mr.
Rabbit’s biding place, that he evidently con
sidered it, unsafe to tarry longer. So, fright
ened almost to death, out he sprang into the
open field, and ran hither and thither, with the
vain hope of finding a Baft retreat, Whioheier
way it ran, cannons were thundering out their
smoke and tire, regiments of men were advan
cing or changing position, horses were gallop
ing here and tlrcre, shells bursting ami solid
shot tearing up the ground. Sometimes it
would squat down, and lie perfectly still, when
some new and 4 sudden danger would again start
it into motion. Once more it would stop and
an high ns possible on its hindlegs,
and look all round for some place of possible
retreat.
At length; that part of the field seemed open
which lay in the direction opposite from where
the battle raged more fiercely. Thither it ac
cordingly -ran with all its remaining speed.
Unobserved by it,-however, a regiment was in
that direction, held in reserve, and like Wel
lington’s at Waterloo, wore lying flat on the
ground, in order to escape the flying bullets.
Ere the rabbit seemed aware, it had jumped'
into the midst of these men. It could go no.
further, hirt presently nestled down beside a”;
soldier, aird tried to hide itself under his arm.
As the man spread the skirt of his coat over'
the trembling fugitirtj, iu order to insure it all
the protection in wsj power to bestow, he qo
doubt feelingly remembered how much he him
self heeded'some higher protection, 1 under the
shadow of whose arm might be hidden his own
defenseless head from the fast multiplying mis
siles of death scattered in all directions:
It yras not long, however, before the regi
ment was ordered up and forward. . From the
protection and safety granted, the timid crea
ture ead evidently acquired confidence hi man
—ae the boys are wont to say, 1 “had been
tamed.’’ As the regiment moved forward to
the.front of the battle, it bopped along, tame,
seemingly, as a: kitten, close at the feet of the
soldier who had given it the needed protection.
Wherever theregimqnt went, during'nil the
remaining part of that bloody day and terrible
■battle, the rabbit kept -close beside its new
friend. When night came on, and the rage of
battle had ceased, it . finally, unmolested and
quietly, hopped away, in order to find some
one nl its old and iamiliar haunts,

Address of the Loyal Governors to the Prea
ident of the United States.
They fully sustain Sis Policy. Unqualified
Indorsement of the Emancipation Proclama
tion. A Hundred Thousand Reserves Pro
posed.
After nearly one year and a half spenf'ln
contest with an armed and gigantic Rebellion
against the National Government of the'United
States, the duty and purpose of the loyal is tales
and people continue, and must always remain,
; as they were at its origin namely, to restore
and perpetuate the authority ef this Govern
ment, and the life of the nation, no matter
what consequences are involved in our fidelity.
Nevertheless, this work of restoring the Re
public,’ preserving the institutions of derate
cratiq liberty, and justifying the hepes
toils of our fathers, shall pot fail to be,per
formed, and we pledge without hesitation to
the President of the United States the most
loyal and cordial support, hereafter, as hereto
fore, in the exercise of the functions qf,‘bis
great office. We recognize in hitn the Chief
Executive Magistrate of the Nation, the Coin
mander-in-Cbief of the Army and Navy '
United States, their responsible and constitu
tional head, whose rightful authority ■ and ‘
power, as well as the constitutional powers of
Congress, must be vigorously and religiously
guarded and preserved as the condition on
which our form of government and -the consti
tutional rights and liberties of the people them
selves can be saved from the wreck of anarchy, _
or from the gulf of despotism. In
to the laws which may have been or whicirmay
be duly enacted, and to the lawful orders of
the President, in our own
spheres in the National Government, we mean
to continue in the most vigorous exercise of all
our lawful and proper powers, contending
against treason, rebellion, and the public ene
mies, and, whether in public life or in the pri
vate station, supporting the arms of the Union
until its cause shall conquer—until final victory
shall perch upon its standard, or the Rebel foe
shall yield a dutiful, rightful, and uncondition
al submission.
Impressed the conviction that'an army
of reserve ought, until the war shall end, to
be constantly kept on foot, to be raised, armed,
equipped and trained at home, and ready-for
emergencies, we respectfully ask the President
to coll for such a force of volunteers for one
year’s service, of not less than one hundred
thousand in the aggregate, the quota of each
State to. be raised after it shall have filled its
quotas of the requisitions already made for
volunteers and for militia. We believe thgt
this would bo a measure of military prudence,
while it would greatly promote the military edu
cation of the people.
IVe hail with heartfelt gratitude and encour
aged hope the proclamation of the President
issued on the 22d inst., declaring emancipated
from their bondage all persons held to service
or labor as slaves in the Rebel States whose
Rebellion shall last until the first day of Jan
uary ensuing. The right of any persons to
retain authority to compel any portion of the
subjects of the National Government to rebel
against it, or to maintain its enemies, implies,
in those who are allowed the possession of such
'authority, the,right fo rebel themselves ; and,
therefore, the right to establish martial law or ,
military government in a State or Territory, in
rebellion implies the right and the duty of the ■-
Government to liberate the minds of all men
living therein by appropriate proclamations,
and assurances of protection, in order that all
whu are capable, intellectually and morally, of
loyalty and obedience, may not be forced into
treason, as the willing tools of rebellious trai
tors. To have continued indefinitely the.most
efficient cause, support, and stay of the rebel
lion, would have been, in our judgment, unjust
to the loyal people whose treasure and lives
are made a willing sacrifice on the altar of pa
triotism, would have discriminated against the
wife who is compelled to surrender her hus
band, against the parent who surrenders his
child to the hardships of the camp and perils
of battle and in favor of Rebel masters thus
permitted to retain their slaves. It wouldbayo
been a .final 'decision alike against humanity,
justice, the rights and dignity of the Govern
ment, and against a .sound and wise national
policy. The decision of the President to strike
at the root of the Rebellion.willlend new vigor
to,the efforts, and new, life and hope to the
hearts o.f the people. Cordially tendering to
the President our respectful assurance of per
sonal and official confidence, we trust and be
lieve that the policy now inaugurated will be
crowned with success, will give speedy and tri
umphal victories over our enemies, and secure
to this nation and this people the blessing and
favor of Almighty God. W.e believe that the
blood of the heroes who have already fallen,
and those who may yet give up their lives to
the country, will not have been shed in vain.
The splendid valor of our soldiers, their pa- ■
tient, endurance, their manly patriotism, and
their devotion to duty, demand from us and
from all their countrymen the homage of the
sincerest gratitude, and the pledge of our con
stant re-enforcement and support. A just're
gard fur these baave men, whom we have ■Con
tributed to place in Ihe field, and for the im
’ portance of the duties which may lawfully per
tain to us hereafter, has called u« into friendly
conference. 1
And now, presenting to our National Chief
Magistrate this conclusion of our deliberations,
we derate ourselves to our country’s service,
end we will surround the President with our
constant support, trusting that the fidelity and
zeal of the loyal States and people will aiway's
assure him that he will be constantly main
tained in pursuing with vigor this war for the
preservation of the national life and the hopes
of humanity.
