Until the extreme radicala conceived the idea of crushing out slavery, and re ducing the conquered Southern ,States to • mere colonial dependencies, they were - dila:mini:tuts. They desired nolovermen tal connection with slaveholders, regard ing such a union as being no better than a Covenant with death. And now, after 4ighteen months of carnage and death, they boldly proclaim an intention, which until recently they denied, that hostilities must be prosecuted for purposes of emancipa tion, no matter what else is or is not ef fected by them. The conservative - men of the nation charged these designs upon the Abolitionists—that theyWOuld convert the: War into an effeirt.to dastraylthe - ,Knion, not to save it. Have not these charges • been verified? Who iloW;ax-capt,the con talk of the 'real:3o364l6ff the ;Union with the rights of the States unim paired? The whole effort of the radicab3 is,to force emancipation, at all, hazards ; and the next step in their programme will be the putting of arms in the negroes' hands, to effect, by servile insurrection, what the slow progress of the war has failed to accomplish. Their calculation of the efficacy of congressional enactments of confiscation and the-like -having proved contemptible failures, they exhibit all the fury and rashness of baffled gamesters ; and,instead of learning wisdom from expe- Mence, they only grow more desperate .in their demands for more impracticable Measures. Their last session of 'Congress legislation prostrated all. Union feeling in the Southern States, although Mr. Lincoln declared in his inaugural that there was a Majority in every one of them, except South Carolina, who preferred the old government to the Southern Confederacy. These Union majorities Abolificinism de stroyed by its fanatical legislation. The Southern conscription forced thousands of Union men into the Southern army, and Mir Congress, as if determined' that they should stay there, passed a law, and the President announced it by proclamation, that all the property of men in arms against the goverinnent n truld confis cated, who did not lay down their arms in "Sixty days." This edict 'was about as sensible as if Jeff Davis had issued a similar ode, demanding our drafted soldiers to lay diiwn their arms in a given time. The Union men of the South, who were forced into the rebel ranks, can not . lay down their arms if they would. They are conscripts, forced to fight against the government of their choice, and our acts of confiscation against such men only haye the effect of driving them - into the' rebel ranks. And 'this was thelniention of our extreme enactments. Had the radical majority in Congress. desired the speedy suppression of the rebellion, and the i consequent speedy restoration of the Union, they would have pursued a very different course from what they did. In stead of destroying the Union men of the South, they would have passed laws-and Mae speedies encouraging their tS resist theirebels. Had such a course been pur sued, the 80,000 majority given:by Vir ginia, in the spring of 1861, in 'favor of the'old Union, would have been preserved and; sixmonths after would not have seen the4mople almost a unit against-a Union of Whose perpetuation she was, until then, thetgreatest champion. But, as we coin menced by saying, these radical Abolition isb&ish no connection with the Southern States unless their institutions are remod eled to snit them. They now proclaim this. Their sole interest in the war, now, is for the changing of the condition of the font millions of . tdaves, and they : care not whit untold arise* , may be inflietiod upon them, so that it is,accompliahad.,_ But the reaction which is going On ammig thel people will doubtlei produce some change in the action of our inlers., - This falls elections will emancipate the Presi dent from the "pressure" which.* corn-. pelted, him to adopt measures Which his judgment condemned.

It is said that Mr. Seward resisted to the last the issuing of the late emancipa tion proclamation—and well he might, if he remembered the letter written by him to., Mr. Dayton, our Minister at Paris, dated April 22d, 1861, of which the follow ing is an extract. What will foreign gov• ereinents now think of our government's promises? Said Mr. Seward: " The condition of slavery in the several States will remain just the same, whether it (the revolution) succeed or fail. There is not even a pretext for the complaint• that the disaffected States are to be con quered by the United States if the revolu tion fail; for the rights of the States, and the condition of every buman being in them, will remain subject to exactly the samelaws and forms of administration, whether the revolution Shall succeed or whether it shall fail. In one case, the States would ibe federally connected with the new Confederacy; in the other, they would, as now, be members of the United States; but their constitutions and laws. customs, habits, and institutions, in either case, will remain the same. "It is _hardly necessary to add to this incontestible statement the further fact that the new President, as well as the citizens, through whose suffrages he has come into the AdniinistratiOn, have always repudi ated all designs whatever, and wherever imputed to him and them, of disturbing the system of slavery as it is existing un der the Constitution and laws. The case, however, would not be fully presented if .1 were to omit to say that any such effort on his part would be unconstitutional, and all his actions in that direction woidd be prevented by the judicial authority, even though they were assented to by Congress and the people." The Proclamation. The New, York World, discussing this document says : "But suppose slavery abolished. We do not exactly see how ,it is to be done until we have MA - broken down the military wall between us and it by the rebel armies, .when emancipation would not be a war measure—would not be the means but the consequence of victory. But never mind; a flight of the imagination is easy, and we will suppose slavery abolished. We will suppose the emancipationists to reach the negroes as Romeo did his sweet Juliet : 'With love's light wing3.did I o'erperch these wells For rebel hoyonets cannot hold love out." But without puzzling over the method, let us suppose it done, and the negroes all emancipated on the first ofJanuary. What then ? These four millions of freemen would either stay in the South or fly to the North. If they staid they would still contribute to the supporlpf the war, so long as the reb• els held military occupation of the coun try. The masters being compelled to la bor for their .own appport, the sum total of Southern, industry would be increased, unless the first use the negroes made of their freedom should be (a subject on 'tibia we express no opinion) to turn idlers and vagabonds: They would be compel led, like the reluctant white Unionists at the South, to support the Government de facto. But suppose the negroes flee to the North. In that case, they leave behind them the cereals and other crops which their industry has just ripened, and diminish by four millions the number of mouths to consume them. It is impossi ble for the war to continue more than an , other year, on its present scale, without Alining the country. The crops raised in the South next year will not go to feed rebel armies, for, by the time they ripen, the South will, in all human probability, havq: no armies tp feed. If the negroes `erhigrete to the North, (we do not inquire howthey are to get here,) the impossibil ity"of their finding employment will make them a public, burden which it will cost as much to support (being four times as nu meroas) as it does to support the soldiers of :the Union itimyt • - - Any reasoning on this subject which does not contemplate the ending of the war within a year from the first of next Janu ary-Is" beside the purpose. Before 'that eine, if the war continues, foreign powers will have thrown their weight into;the scale, ; and th,e,-;Union will be gone forever. It is-ridiculotiito bluiter, tui . ortitllr of re sisting theworld- in,virms, ~the,same brenth in which we despair ofconquering the South unless we can make allies a - - - their slaves. If knocking this prop from under the rebellfon is to save the Union at all, it must save it within the year. But unless the laws of nature and the seasons are changed, and seedtime is next year to com e in winter, it is demonstrable that the erop just harvested is the ,only„ope, which the negroes'Cin, for a yetitte'Vegii.# 1 contribute to the subsistence of the rebel! armies: is Certain, therefore,.that their emancipation cat be of no value as a war measgtei except;by alining them and ex citing-theiP to _,_ eutt heir - masters' throats— iisnmse.vrei'MUMnie, of .thei: elitaticipg tiontiteat present (we know not with *hat sincerity) disclaim, bat wbich is the' only viewthilv.,h4Olk - f enlalitnpation eau, mithout obvious absurdity, 4ie -regarded as a wa r measure.

It is now officially ascertained that there is no territory in any part of the American continent'that can be obtained for the purpose of a negro colony; and this, after the poor deluded blacks had been assured by Mr. Lincoln and other leading Abolitionists that desirable land for a colony for them had already been secured. The administration, by seeking to banish the uegroes from Amer ica, virtually denounces them as unfit members of the community, and undesira ble as inhabitants. It is no wonder, there fore. that the governments of all the coun tries in which tthas been proposed to set tle them positively refuse to receive any such class of persons. The upshot of the matter will be that the negro will have to remain in the Uni ted States, and proclamations will have to be issued abrogating, repealing, and de claring null and void all State laws, those of Ilhnois particularly, which forbid the settlement of negroes in those States. This stale of things will continue as long as the Republican adminiatration contin ues in power. Washington Hospitals—The Wid I ow Douglas. It is a sad and painful thing to go through these military hospitals; but the oftener one goes the stronger becomes the melancholy desire to renew the visit. Many scenes here transpire of a heart rending character, and some of them sur passing the wildest dream of romance or most incredulous tale of fiction. In some hospitals the nurses are dressed in gar ments of close-fitting dark grey, and wear white hoods, which partially conceal their calm, earnest features. Night and day, and day and night s they walk noiselessly from bed to bed, ministering to the wants of humanity. What errands of - mercy, and huw appropriate the name "Sisters o Mercy!".. In another building, and equal ly patient toil and assiduity to the care of the sick and wounded, may be seen the lovely daughters and mothers of New Eng land and the North, and the great West, and of the Border States, giving words of comfort and love to her betrothed; or fa ther, or brother, neither forgetting the stranger whose kin are on the banks of the Shannon, the Seine, the Vistula, the Rhine, or the Perth. Amid all that throng of noble womeni whose presence everywhere mitigates the horrors of war, there is seen one whose coming is • the signal of unusual emotion among the many patients. She is young and faultlessly. beautiful.- She dresses plainly and in deep mourning, which prob ably adds to the marble whiteness other calm and expressive features. She never seems to smile, yet each sick niiin's eye brightens as he hears the tones of her voice. Human sorrow holds the bond of infections sympathy, and hers is a sorrow so enduring that• its great seal shall be broken only when earthly things dissolve iu the ethereal of the spirit life. She has a word for every one, and has nearly fin ished her daily round, when she stops by the bed of a youth by the aide of one of the church windows, which look out upon a grapy turf. shaded by thick shrubbery.— Her hand is' on his temple. He is a fair haired, blue-eyed boy. He looks up into her eyes with a bewildered gaze, and there passes between his lips in a broken whis per the word "Mother." The fever has left him, and as she wipes the death damp from his brow s she feels her own sorrows grow lighter as she moistens the lips of that dying stringer. Worthy is she to be christened as an American woman— worthy to bear the name of the, great Douglas. • He said : "Let me tell you a bit of persor al expe rience; it will explain to you why I stand here to-day in the civilian's garb when `my soul thirsteth for the fray.'

As Counter Man turned about to lay the money he had won on a table, Gent caught up one of the lit tle cards with a number ten upon it, and bent over one corner a little and laid it down. "I'll bet a hundred dollars," said he, "that I can guess the number on that card." "Agreed!" 'says the other, and he produced the money. Gent hesitated ; hadn't got a hundred; thought he wouldn't do it. All the while the card lay before him with 'its turned corner. Rev. Mr. Longshanks here stepped up. "I can tell you the number on that card." "I'll bet you a hundred dollars, - says Counter Man. "Oh, I never bet money," was the re ply. "Well," says the other, "you tip: pear to have a pretty gold chain hanging from your fob; I shouldn't wonder, if you had a seventy-five dollar watch at the oth er end. Put up your watch and chain against my hundred." The little card still lay there. Rev. Mr. Longshanks eyed it closely, saw the corner turned down, and pulled out his watch and depos ited it on the counter by the roll of bills. The card was turned, and a number five appeared. 'lt was Longshanks' turu to be excited. "You are a gambler, sir," said he, addressing the villian behind the counter. "Give me back my watch, or I will publish the facts and expose you."— "Look ,here," said the cool rascal whom he addressed, "my name is Chappell,. of Detroit; your name is Rev. Mr. Long shanks of —; you can publish the facts if you think you make any thing out of it. Gambling is my business, and I am used to being exposed. You had better keep quiet or I'll expose :you." The exhibition of secession money was over. The honest burgher of our good town executed a dissolving view out of the room, followed by Longshanks, with a tremendous flea in his ear. He summoned the Captain of the boat to his counsel, and urged him to secure restitution. The Captain declared that he didn't know that there were any gamblers or gambling on his boat, (think of a lake or river captain not knowing Charpell !) didn't see as he could do anything, but would try and ne gotiate. He returned with the rascals' ultimatam—seventy-five dollars in cash would restore the watch—nothing short. The money was painfully extracted from Rev. Mr. Longshanks' wallet, and the watch restored. He was soon after pushing inquiries among the passengers to ascertain it any of them were going to stay in East Saginaw over Sunday, where he had intended to preach. His adventure had been noised throughout the boat r and he was naturally doubtful about the effect of his preaching under the circumstances. He assured some privately that he had no intention of taking the gambler's money—he merely meant to show him that he was mistaken. Of course. A Tough Case. Among those whom the war fever has severely attacked within a few weeks past, is William Wirt Sikes, the writer.
