MW W»B V B. aH « WEDNESDAY, DEO EMBER 28, Abolition lamentations. ~ The>Vpion League of Philadelphia, a highly vespectable society of shoddy ■ ■ contractors and gouty aria octats, has ‘ become alaftned at the Indifference of tfo people; regarding the further pros ecution of hostilities against the South. 'ln acircnlar, issued by these well-fed : and corpulent parasites, whose aim is .the prolongation of hostilities,, in the hopeof adding to their already fabulous ! i 'wtoith, thece occui* this singular (for , them to utter) adinisaion; they say: “All firing Interest In thethe war is obadsn- XDi all sense of personal responatbiUty ia lost; dollars take the place of patriotlam, anil paper credit* ate substitute;! for men. Thiß spirit is ... rapidly extending. It must be checked -If we wgaid overcome the fiery energy of the South, wielded into ajotfmpaet maaa, and wielded by . tho atrongarm of military despotism.” i This language,- spoken or written dur ing the late Presidential contest, by a Democrat, would have been denounced as‘-copperbead treason”by every “Loy • al Leaguer” in the land; that it is now altered by the very embodiment of loy ally .only-proves ibtrti even contractors, under the Administration, are forced to acknowledge the lamentable condition to which their infamous policy has re duced the nation; and how, let ns ask, conld it he -otherwise than it is? The -- Administration has- been lying most outrageously to the people, until now they place no more faith initsannounce • merits, thaa they wonld in Dicers’ oaths. And it has compelled onr Generals in the field to lie, also, in order to corobo . .rate its falsifications. . : : About thefirst of September the War •Department published a telegram phr 'jjjtirting to be from General Grant, an . bouncing that "one hundred thousand’ - more men were all that he required to capture Richmond and give the fiaal - blow to'the rebellion. This was echoed by every Abolition paper and sponter in the country. Jnst before the election Solicitor Whiting, of the War Depart ment. announced as one “having au thority” to do so, that there were “men _ .enough in the army ” and that, conse quently, no new draft Woald be made. Did he hot, in this instauce, lie delib erately far the purpose of continuiug an Administration With which he was and isconnected? If not we mnst since tbenhavc met with great disaster, in stead of victories in the field, for three hundred thousand more are called for -to keep our armies strong enough to contend against “the fiery energy of the Bouth." The troth is that the Ad ministration succeeded in lying Itself into a re-election; its —entire power and patronage it nsed for that purpose; and now, that it has there is no further ne ceßeityfor reiterating the same false hood; and hence the prompt and sweep ing- . order -|,for another conscription, isitany wonder, -therefore, under such circumstances, that the Philadelphia League i Should find much apathy among th£;people, regarding the war? They cannot forget the deliberate falsehoods ; ttf which we have alluded. They were told that no njore drafts would be re quired, and that the re-election of Lin coln would cause the rebellion to crum ble-“to plSces.' Bince then the rebel "Hood has been overwhelmed and crush- in.Tenqpssee, his atmy being utterly routed and destreyed;3herman's march, tbrmfgh Georgia, has been but a grand: frolic for him and his army; Lee’s for cea in Virginia, according to the oft re peated asanrancea of the War Depart ment, is wasting away like leaves in Vfiqjiy .weather; and yet, three hundred thousand mpre are required to fight those miserably beaten, thumped and scattered rebels, who, three months since, were according to Abolition au thority, preparing to lay down their arms and sue to .be forgiven.

Before (lie Soul hern lenders took up arms against the government, they used to tftlk &bout forming a confederacy, by vrliicji?few England would be lift “out in the cold." How little did they know ef the fdture in store for her. How, in., slead , fit- being either cold or wet, New •England u, iike'tbe Irishman’s jacket, ‘ 'both warm and dry. ’ ’ When Ponnaylyania was first invaded by rebel legions, dnr Governor applied to the yfashington government for as. mstenfietdbeat back the invaders; but none could be spared, and this, too, after oar state hadfumished two hun dred thousand men at the call of the PresMdnt. i Sincd then other invasions of onr Southern border have taken place, but they produced no 'uneasiness what ever in Washington. After crying for and implering assistence, the National Administration, at length, gave onr permission to raise £orce*fdi?tate defense, after onr “pbil gations” to the general government shall have Mite discharged. But see how securely the people of New England are Bltuated, compared to these inhabiting our Southern coun ties. A few deaerate and starving marauders from CSwTada make a descent upon a little tour-||| a (St. rAJr bans), and kill oulgiiMi and'|^the|pa-; tional Administrippi i loftiest pitch of in|®dal|||i.“ ia A paMffibn 1 system is at on|||in||gurated by'our Secretary of igsueklati| order to shoob'down, pursue and capture every one suspected; while a bill appro priating the snug sum of ten. million is at onceintfod uced in Congress to render the coast of New England utterly im pregnable. It-will be seen- from these facts that the modest section of our country, known as New England, ,-with a population less than that of New York, has in the legislation of the conn: try a voice potential, and that she is, by no means, likely to be “left out in the cold” hereafter. The Battle of Nashvil'e, The Phila. North American and Ga zette in its article of Monday last, while complimenting the efficiency of MaJ. Gen. Wilson and his cavalry, does in justice to the artillery It says that the artillery force of the Tennessee Army was as new; collectively, as the caval ry —Bnt the iact is, almost all the Regu lar Batteries retired to Nashville, before the advance to Atlanta—where they have bsen drilling and reerniting ever since Snch men, sa. Capt. Best, Lieut’s Euh lenberg and Kinzey can scarcely be considered new, by any one acquainted with the campaigns of the present war. Colored Wedding in High Life. From the New Haven Register, Dec. 14- A correspondent in Old Saybrook sends ns an account of a grand colored wedding, that came off, within a day or two, in the Episcopal. church in that town. The style and eclat of the occa sion eclipsed all former affairs of the kind which ever occurred in Old Mid dlesex county. The number of distin guished. guests iu attendance added brilliancy to the occasion. The bride was a dress maker of Hartford, well known among the aristocracy. The groom was employed in one of the first hotels in Hartford. The bridesmaid was a dignified colored lady of Washington, D. C., and the groomsman a fine look ing colored gentleman from New York city. • At- half paßt 7 in the evening, Grace church was splendidly illuminated and thronged with an expectant.assem blage. The grace and elegance of the bride attracted universal attention and admiration. The ceremony was per 'formed by the rector (white,) in the impressive form of the Episcopal ser vice, after which a reception was held at the residence of the groom’s parents. The bouse was filled with invited gnests, the elite of the town, in full dress. Among the number was Mr. Alien, Repnblican Senator from the'loth district, accompanied by his lady; Mr. and Mrs. Harl;the Rector and lady;Rev Mr. Salmon McCall, congregational minister of the town; and the Tread ways Eirtlands, Clarks, Bolls,and many others who congratulated the young couple upon the happy prospects in store for them. There were also many distinguished colored guests from the large cities. At the refreshment table the glitter of glass and silver was most dazzling, and the snowy damask conld not have been surpassed in purity. Seoloped oysters, chicken salad, and snowy biscuit, with various kinds of cake, hlanc manges from various moulds, and wines of choice vintages, loaded the table. The chief waiter from one of the hotels in Hartford, in white gloves, dispensed the refreshments with remarkable ease. The bride and groom remained standing in the reception-rooifi for congratulations. The dress of the bride was white tarle ton, with a broad fluted trimming, high neck and lqng sleeves; 5 a vail and wreath of purest white, and the bride and bridesmaid each held a beautiful bo quet, culled from Senator Allen’s green house. Gubreilla Operations.— On Friday a party of rebel guerrillas taking advantage of the ice, attempted a crossing above Muddy Branch. Our pickets, however, discovered them and drove them back. Major Andrews, of the First New Hampshire Cavalry, in command at that point, is making every effort at protection and to prevent guer t ilia raids, now that the ice offers a safe pas9age-way. For two or three nights past signals have been made from the woods on this side of the river, back of Muddy Branch, and the signals were answered from the Virginia shore. White has a large force, and his head quarters are in the neighborhood of Snicker’s Gap, whence he sallies over to the Maryland side whenever his friends on this side signal him that it is safe to do so. Some farmers in the neighborhood of Rockville, who came to market on Sat urday morning, heard, before leaving home, that White had attempted anoth er crossing last night. These incur sions are made, by small squads, whose object is-plunder. Horses are of spec ial attraction to these thieves.— T Ya»h. Rep. , A Second “Swedish Nightingale,” who has beenJong in training, and who, according to enthusiastic friends, was to equal Jenny Lind, if not surpass her, has just made her appearance at Paris in the Traviata. The new diva Mdlle. Nisson, is handsome, fair, with golden hair, and very expressive blue eyes. She has neither the volume nor the pow er of voice which have made Jenny Lind bo famous; nor has she the bril liance, archness and passion which are possessed in so high a degree by be witching little Patti. But she has great pathos, and a curiouß, dreamy grace and sweetness that bid fair to make her as great a favorite in her own very differ ent way. Beginning to Reflect 'We find in the Richmond Whig, of Friday last, the following, amung the proceedings,of their “House of Heprt sentatives” of the day previous: The speaker laid before the House the joint resolution defining (he position of the Confederate- States, declaring that they are determined to prosecute the ex isting war until their independence is acknowledged. Referred to the Commit tee of Foreign Relation. This is significant. Hitherto it . has been the practice to adopt such resolu tions promptly, without dissent. What ridiculous atories come Paris I They tell us of a Russian there who wears the remains of his wife in a ring on his finger. After she died he had her body reduced by dissolvents, com pressed into a h|rrd paste like jet, and set in a souvenir.

WEDNESDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 28,1864 BATTLE OF PITTSBURGH LANDING. V indication of _G«neral GrAtt—Letter. William T. Bhsr * HEjkBqCARTEBS, MILITARY DIVISION OF TBaYMISSISBEPFI. -ProfKljKNßi ßoEpee, Philadelphia:— § June number of the Waited Statei -Service Magazine I find a 'brief sketch of Lieutenant General U. »Grant,.in which I .see you are likely perpetnatfcanierror, which General ’Grant may not defim of sufficient im portance to correct. To General Buell’s noble, able and gallant conduct you at tribute the (act that the disaster of April ft, at Pittsburg Landing, was-retrieved, and made the victory of the following day. As General Taylor is 3aid in his later days to have doubted whether he was at the battle of. Bueno Vista at all, on account of the many things having transpired there, according to the his torians, which he did-not see, so I begin to doubt whetlfSr I was at the b.ittle of Pittsburg Landing of modern descrip tion. But I was at the battles of April 6 and 7, 1862. General Grant visited my division in person about ten A. M., when the battle raged fiercest. I was then on the right. After some general conversation, he remarked that I was doing right in stubbornly opposing the progress of the enemy, and, in answer to my inquiry as to cartridges, told me he had anticipated their want, and given orders accordingly; he then said his presence was more needed over at the left. About two P. M. of the 6th, the enemy materially slackened his attack on me, and about four P. M. I deliberately made a new line be* hind McArthur’s drill field, placing bat teries on chosen ground, repelled easily a cavalry attack, and watched the cau tious approach of the enemy's infantry that never dislodged me there. I selec ted that line in advance of a bridge across snake creek, by which we had ail day been expecting the approachnf Lew Wallace's division Crump’s Landing- About five P. M., before the sun set. General grant came again to me,, and after hearing my report of matters, ex plained to me the situation of affairs On the left, which were not as favotable; still the enemy had failed to reach the landing of the boats. We agreed that the tjnemy had expended the faro-re of his attack, and we estimated our loss, and approximated our then strength,_ in cluding Lew. Wallace’s fresh division, expected each minute. He then ordered me to get all things ready, and at day light the next day to assqme the offen-* stve. That was before General Buell “had arrived, but he was known to he near at hand. * General - Buell’s troops t ok no essential part in the first day’s fight, and Grant’s army, though collec ted together hastily, green as militia, some regiimmts arriving without car tridges evm, and nearly all hearing the dread sound of battle for the first time, hr.d successfully withstood and repelled the first day’s terrific onset of a superi or cUemv well commanded and well handled,' I know I had orders from Gen eral Grant to assume the offensive be fore 1 knew General Btu-li was on the west side of the Tennessee. 1 think General Buell, Colonel Fry and others of General Buell’s staff, lode up to where 1 was about sunset, a’.o..t the time General Grant was leaving me. General Buell asked me many questions, and got of me a small map, which I had made for my own use, and told me that by daylight he could have eighteen thou sand fresh men, which 1 knev/ would settle the matter. I undei3tood Grant’s lorces were to advance ru the right of the Corinth road and Buell's on the left, aud accordingly at daylight I advanced tuy division by the flank, the resistance being trivial, up to the very spot where the day before the battle had been most severe and then waited till near noon for Buell’s trio pa-to get up a bieast, when the en tire line advanced and recovered all the ground we had%ver held. 1 know that, with the exception of one or two severe struggles, the fighting of April 7 waß easy as compared with that of April 6. I never was disposed, nor am I now, to question anything done by Genera) Buell and his army, and know that ap proaching our field of battle from the rear, he encountered that sickening crowd of laggards and fugitives that ex cited his contempt and that of his army, who never gave full credit to those In the front line, who did fight hard, and who had, at four p. m., checked the ene my, and were preparing the next-day, to assume the offensive. 1 remember the fact the better from General Grant’s anecdote of his Donelson battle, which he told mi then for the first time—that at a certain period of the battle, he saw that either side was ready to give way if the other showed a bold front, and he determined to do that very thing, to ad vance on the enemy, when, as he prog nosticated, the enemy surrendered. At four p. in., of April 6, he thoughtthe ap pearances the same, and he judged, with Lew. Wallace’s fresh division and such of our startled troops as had recovered their equilibrium, he would be justified in dropping the defensive and assuming offensive in the morning. And, I re peat, I received shell before I knew General Buell’s troops were at the river. I admit that I was glad Buell was there, because I knew his troops were older than oars and better systematized and drilled, and his arrival made that cer tain. which before was unceitain. I have heard this question much discussed and must say that the officer’s of Buell’s army dwelt too much on the stampede of some of our raw troops, and gave us too little credit for the tact that for one whole dayweakened as wc were by the absence of Buell’s army, long ex pected, of Lew. Wallace’s division, only four miles off, and of the fugitives from our ranks, wo had beaten off our assail ants for the time. At the same time our army of the Tennessee have indulg ed in severe criticism at the slow ap proach of that army which knew the danger that threatened ns from tte con centrated armies of Johnston, Beaure fard and Bragg that lay at Corinth, na war like this, where opportunities for personal prowess are as plenty as blackberries, to those who seek' them at the front, all such criminations should be frowned down, and were it not for the military character of your journal I would not venture to offer a cor rection to a very popular error. 1 will also avail myself of this occa sion to correct another very common miatake in attributing to Genera! Grant the selection of that battle field. It was chosen by that veteran soldier, Major General Charles F. Smith, who ordered my division to disembark there, and strike for the Charleston Railroad. This order was subsequently modified by his ordering Hurlburl’s division to disem bark there, and mine higher up the Ten nessee to the month of Yellow creek, to strike the railroad at Burnsville. But floods prevented our reachins the rail road, when General Smith ordered me in persou also to disembark at Pittsburg Landing, and take a post well out, so as to make p'enty of room, with Snake and Lick creeks the flanks of a camp for the grand army of invasion. It was General Smith who selected that field of battle, and it was well chos en. Ou any other .we purely would have been overwhelmed as b6th Lick and Snake creeks forced the enemy to con fine his movements to a direct front at tack, which new trdops are better qual ified to resist than where flanks are ex fised to a real or chimerical danger ven the divisions of that army were arranged in that damp by Gmn. Smith's order, my division forming, as it were the outlying picket, whilst McClernand’s sitet Prentiss' were the real line of bat- tle, with W. 11. L. Wallace in support of the right wing, - and Llulburt of the left; LewtWallace’aE division de tached. ’-All these iubordinate disposi aitlonsrwere made by the order of Gem Smith, before General Grant him to tbeycommand of all the forces up the Tennessee—headquarters, Savan nah. If there were any error in patting that army on the west aide of the Ten nessee, exposed to the superior force of the enemy also assembling at Corinth, the mistake was not General Grant’s—■ bat there was no mistake. It wasi nec-’ essary that a combat,-fierce and bitter, to test the manhood of the two armies, should come off, and that Was as good a place as any. It was not then a ques tion of military skill and strategy, but of courage and pluck, and I am convinc ed that every life lost that day to us was necessary; for otherwise at Corinth, at Memphis, at Vicksburg, we would have found harder resistance, had we not Shown our enemies that, rude and untutored as we then were, we could fight as well as they. Excuse so long a letter, which is very unusual from me, but of course my life is liable to cease at any moment, and I happen to be a witness to certain truths which are now beginning to pass out of memory, and form what is called his tory. 1 also take great pleasure in adding that nearly all the new troops that at Shiloh drew from me official censure, have more than redeemed their good name; among them that very regiment which first broke, the Fifty-third Ohio, Colonel Appen. Under another leader, Colonel Jones, it has shared every cam paign and expedition of mine since, is with me now, and can march and biv ouac and fight as well as the best regi ment in this or any army. Its reputa tion now'is equal to that of any from the State of Ohio. I am, with respect, yours, truly, W. T. Shkrmah, Major General. James M.
