THEY WERE - ALWA747§ DIS
UNIONtaTg.
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

• .VIOLATION OP A PLEDGE.
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 • - -

not contemplate the ending of the war

eine, if the war continues, foreign powers
will have thrown their weight into;the
scale, ; and th,e,-;Union will be gone forever.

A Washington cogespondent of, the

marks :
Every well informed perscin was aware
long ago of the utter absurdity still imprac
ticability of. the negro:. projects of Mr.
Lincoln; and' events' are taking plice.eVery
day which will open , the eyes-even of the
negro-worshippers to the visionary foun
dation of their treed. 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. •

wise:
At this juncture a new character was
discovered by the party, looking on very
interested—a clergyman. For the sake
of designation, we =willcall- him Ric% Mr.
Longshanks, of —. 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. In a
recent speech, Mr. Sikes made known the
manner in which he has "come to grief"
in the volunteer way. There's a shrewd
lesson for some people in his experience.

Cste.o, Oct. 19.—The steamers Dickey
and Continental were fired into, near Is
land No. 21, last Wednesday, by a rebel
battery of 12-pounders, which the rebels
had planted on the shore. The Dickey
was struck three times. No one was htirt.
The Continental was struck twice, once
just above the water line. The gunboat
Pittsburgh came up from Forte Pillow and
shelled the woods in several .suspicions
places, but the rebels did not reply.
A Federal force stationed on the Ten
nessee shore, opposite Island No,, 10, at.
tacked four hundred rebels, under Faulk
ner. Owing to the darkness, the rebels
fired into each other, throwing themselves
into confusion and causing them to retire,
followed by oar cavalry. Eight rebels
were killed and ten wounded.
We captured thirty horses and several
muskets. Faulkner, their captain, and
twelve privates were taken prisoners and
brought to Columbus, Kentucky, last night.
Chir loss was three killed and two wound : .
