The Land off lie Free and tlic
Home of tho Urate," JPIaj ed
Out.
We arc no longer the land of the free
and the home of the brave. These soul
stirring lays were Bung and believed, from
the time they were composed by the im
mortal Keys, up to the first battle of
Bull's Hun, not only by a brave and gal
lant people throughout the broad expanse
of the United States, but in almost every
part of the civilized world. Now we
will have to adopt in its stead some dirge
for lost liberty, and chant it by a heart
etricken people, wrung by sorrow, steeped
in poverty, and debased by cowardice.
The teachings of history instruct us that
every country that enjoyed liberty, fell
almost in the same manner as ours lias
done, and after long and bloody struggles
were glad to adopt any form of govern
ment that would promise them security.
No foreign war ever did or ever could de
prive a country of its liberty that once
was free. Internal dissensions, the lust of
power and the greed of gain, has always
done, the work, as it has done in ours
what other governments could never do.
Greece once was free, gave laws and
civilization to the world, but dissensions
arose in her midst and freedom, and liber
ty, and law, bid her adieu forever. Home,
too, was free, she was undoubtedly the
land of the free and the home of the
brave. Her eagle towered above every
insignia of tho world. To be a lioman
citizen, was a passport sufficient for every
emergency. The same cause that brought
down Greece brought her down to des
potism, and is about to bring ours down
too.
Poland was once n. free and happy
country, the proud Maygars by their in
ternal feuds lost their liberty, and became
a prey to the liussians who now hold
them in chains under their own heel of
despotism.
Ireland, once a free and happy coun
try, by her internal wars and dissensions
has riveted her chains of slavery so firm
ly, that there is little hopes of her ever
attaining the character of a nation.
Our country was as proud, as brave,
and as free as any of the citizens of these
countries in their palmiest days, not more
than four years since. Are they so now ?
Has history shown us any country which
has degenerated so fast as this? Our
boasted bill of Bights are all gone, free
dom of speech, freedom of the press, ha
beas corpus, trial by jury, a written con
stitution have all been invaded and set at
naught. But it is said this was done
through military necessity. That mili
tary necessity must always exist now.
We never can completely subdue the
South, hence the military necessity must
always exist, and hence under that plea
our liberties are lost and lost forever.
When liberty leaves a country, she is
driven out of it by the people themselves,
and she never was known to revisit the
same country again. Who would have
thought that the American people would
become so d.-generate and tired of their
iberties in such a short time. Can it be,
that this is all done for the negro. If so,
it is pushing philanthropy to a great
length, it is enslaving, and killing, and
mutihtins the multitude of the while
population for the pake of giving freedom
to a small number of negroes. And what
freedom have they got, those that are free.
The freedom that one of your horses would i
"et if he was turned out to the commons,
freedom to starve. The poor negro has
suffered more since his great friends, the
Abolitionists came into power, than he
did in slavery for fifty years before. They
will through time become extinct in the
North under the benign protection of their
friends the Abolitionists, Butler in his
speech in New York, ! expects to play the
same game witli the Southern people that
Cromwell did in Ireland, parcel out the
land to the officers and soldiers of the
Northern armies. Butler is alive to blun
der, he and his brother went at it early,
lest he should have no further chance,
lie would like to have the parceling out
of the lands of tho South in his hands,
always provided, he would be in no per
sonal danger, lie has no idea of a Union,
no idea of a Republic, still the Abolition
party like him as well as they like any
other man of their party. Let us, there
fore, cherish the memory of " the Stnr
Spangled Banner," and "the Land of the
Free and the Home of the Brave" though
they are gone never to return.
Propositions of Peace.
There has been some talk of proposi
tions of eaee, but what gave rise to it
we cannot tell. This talk about peace,
and commissioners being appointed, did
not come from our side of the house, nor
did it come from Fernando Wood, Val
landighnm, or Ixng. The cry is hardly
yet died away that resounded everywhere
before the election, from every Abolition
orator and pulpit, " no compromise with
traitors with arms in their hands." The
arms are not out of their hands yet, and
we hear talk of a compromise. This
talk conies from Horace Grcely, Benja
min F. Butler, and others of that stamp
who wish to further gull the Democratic
party, and keep up the depleted ranks in
the Federal arm'. The devico is very
thin and easily seen through. It was
foreshadowed in Butler's speech at New
York. They may offer the South some
thing like Lincoln's letter addressed to the
Niagara Falls, which would be an
insult to them, and by that means they
would endeavor to exasperate the North
ern Democracy, so as to get them into
the war again. But a person must be
very credulous, indeed, that would expect
a proposition from Lincoln that would be
honorable both to the North and the
South, or any other proposition that would
indicate the statesman. Nay, we must
expect nothing from him but what is to be
given by a political trickster whose self
success drowns every sentiment of states
manship and patriotism. Some Illinois
hui of his, by which he would be enabled
to corner his political opponents. We
trust the Democracy will keep their eyes
open to Lincoln and his peace plans and
his war plans also.
They have had certainly enough of Mr.
Lincoln to know that nothing for the good
of the country will likely come from him.
He lias hitherto been very successful in
enriching himself and his friend by his
plans, but luis made no headway in saving
the country. His first trick in keeping
the fleet hovering around the Charleston
harbor, was so successful that he got the
rebels to fire at Fort Sumter, and by that
means the Northern Democracy was fired
up to such a degree that when he heard
it, he could not keep from exulting about
it. lie exclaimed, "I knew they would
do it." From that day forward the sword
and the purse was put into his hands, and
he has used them to the ruin and desola
tion of the finest country on the face of
tho globe. Could Lincoln change his
policy now, he might if he would, there
have been instances of men in ancient
times, but it was of rare occurrence. In
our opinion there is nothing to hope from
him, he lacks the ability and manliness
to cut loose from those who have him in
their toils. We need expect nothing but
blood, devastation and ruin. The South
made a desert, and the North depopula
ted, and barren, and beggared. Wc can
not help it, we neither brought it on nor
helped to continue it. We will bear our
share of the affliction manfully, however,
and bo gulled by no syren songs of peace
from Abraham and his cohorts.
Tlie War in Georgia.
General Sherman seems to be progress
ing through Georgia, burning, devastating
and making the whole country a desert
as he passed through. It was reported
that our troops captured and burned Ma
con and Milledgeville. They also burned
the private property of Governor Brown.
It is also reported that they were met by
the Georgia militia, and one division of
the Federal army repulsed.
Beauregard issued the following address
to the people ot ueorgia, this wnn
other addresses, show that there will be
pretty hot work there:

Richmond, November 18.
To the People oj Georgia :
You have now the best opportunity
ever yet presented to you to destroy the

An Organized Attempt to Rurn
Down tiie t'ity ot v York.
Whether this was attempted by thieves
for the sake of plunder or by the traitors,
the New York, people arc yet unable to
nidge, the following from the World o
Saturday last:
A most diabolical attempt was last night
made to fire this city at many different
points ranging from the Belmont Hotel,
in Fulton street, as far up as the St. James
Hotel, in Broadway, above its intersection
with the Fifth avenue. At the present
writing happily, no loss of life and no
terious damage to property has crowned
the fiendish hopes of the perpetrators of
these crimes. But the heart sickens at
the thought of the scene of horror which
must certainly, but for the presence of
mind and coolness of a few sensible per
sons, have resulted from the mere alarm
of "fire" given at nine o'clock in the
evening to the crowded audience in the
lecture room of the Museum. At this
point, while the theatrical performances of
the night were going on, a bottle of phos
phorus was emptied in the rear of the
gallery, and at once ignited.
In the various hotels, including the St.
Nicholas, the Metropolitan, the Lafarge,
and other large and crowded houses, beds
were found saturated with phosphorus,
and the fire in all these cases seems to
have been set by persons acting in con
cert, and of course under one definite and
devilish inspiration.
Who those persons were or what their
aims, it were premature now to inquire.
The matter demands and must receive im
mediate and most searching examination
at the hands of our municipal and police
authorities.
The completeness of our fire organiza
tion, and the spirit of its members, by
which this atrocious attempt was last
night foiled, are fortunately equal to our
full protection in the future ; and the vigi
lance and activity which the occasion de
mands of our city government are demand
ed not so much in the interest of the gene
ral security, concerning whicli there need
be no undue excitement or alarm, as in
behalf of the ends of justice, which
should bo promptly, adequately, and de
cisively dealt out to these stealthy and
murderous assailants of the public peace.
A Catholic Ilanquet.
Charles O'Connor, Esq., gave at Del-
momco s, New i ork, a splendid, recep
tion to to Archbishop M'Closkey. It was
greeted by the presence of many official
characters from abroad, as well as officers
of the army and navy, and civilians of
our own country, making a cheering and
delightful spectacle. The host, in a grace
ful speech, in giving the toast of the even
ing, presented the Archbishop as "Our
guide in the faith and a bright example of
its benign and elevating influence." This
distinguished character replied in a feeling
and eloquent strain entirely personal and
social. lie was .followed bv James II.
Brady, Esq., and Judge Daly, who call
ed up Dr. Bedford. After referring to
eminent Americans who were Catholics.
Dr. Bedford thu3 referred to our coun
try :
" I have mentioned the name of Charles
Carroll, of Carrollton. What American
heart does not throb with emotion at the
sound of this venerated name ? He, as
you well know, was one of the signers of
the glorious Declaration of Independence
which made us a great and free people,
and winch enabled our forefathers to
transmit to their children a precious in
heritance; but how sadly have we trifled
with that legacy, the integrity of which
we should have parted with only with
our heart's blood. I am sure vou will
pardon me if I give utterance on this fes
tivc occasion to the sentiments which at
this moment press upon my mind. This
fair land of ours, this land of hope, may
I not say this land of promise, has been
more than crimsoned with a brother's
blood. We are now engaged in worse
than fratricidal war brother against
brother, father against son, husband
against wife! Is there no hand in this
nation tr pour the balm of Gilead into the
wounds of our afflicted and bleeding
country ? No voice which, in terms of
kindness will say to our erring brethren,
Brothers, in a moment of phrenzy you
have struck at the heart of your mother,
but she, true the instincts of a devoted
partnt asks you to repent and return once
again to her embraces ? Language like
this it seems to me, would accomplish
much. It would not only bring back the
sober thoughts of our Southern brethren,
but it would kindle anew the reminiscen
ces of our early history their love for
the old Hag and its associations the re
collection of our early struggle, and the
glories which followed it the contempla
tion of the beauties of this great republic
before rude hands were raised for its de
struction all these things would burst
upon them a a dream ; they would soon
sec the delusion and wild impulse under
which they had acted, and thus gladly
return to the old homestead. May the
sacred ashes which repose on the banks
of the Potomac, under the venerated
shades of .Mount Vernon, remind us, both
North and South, of our duty, and so
impress us with the lofty patriotism of the
Father of his Country, as to make us re
solve that not one solitary stone of the
arch which gives support to the national
fabric shall be loosened from its founda
tions, an.l not one star dimmed, nor one
stripe rent from that glorious old flag
whicli lias never yet pone down in dis
honor in any equal contest with a foreign
foe."
Another Classical Joke uy Mi:.
Lincoln. "How do you New York
Democratic chaps take my election?"
asked Mr. Lincoln, a few days ago, of a
prominent New York M'Clellanite, with
whom the Executive is pleased to be on
good personal terms. " Oh, pretty well,
on the whole," was the reply. " Some
of our boys complain, however, that you
carried the State by your postmasters
steaming the envelopes that contained
M'Clellan and Seymour votes, thus loosen
ing the gum, opening the envelopes, and
substituting Lincoln and Fenton for M'
Clellan and Seymour ballots." "11a,
ha," laughed the President, leaning for
ward and grasping his ankles tightly : "so
they say, do they, that I came the 4 'uin
game on them' to be elected! Well,
there's one comfort about it old fellow ;
and this you may tell them from me ; thai
if I tried to cheat which they also did
by gum! I Wa3 successful, and they

DIED.
To-day we followed to the grave among
the largest concourse of people ever assem
bled at an interment, in this town, Mrs.
Ellen Noon, widow of the late Hon.
Philip Noon, deceased, who after a short
illness of one week, died on Monday last,
at 11 o'clock, in tho G7th year of her age.
The deceased was born in Huntingdon
county, in the year i . was uapuzeu
and indoctrinated in faith and morals, and
married by the renowned 'Gallitzin. She
leaves a void hard to be filled in our com
munity. As it has been said of- woman,
the was last at the cross and first at the
tomb, so it might be said with truth of
Mrs. Noon, she would be last found lin
gering around the couches of misery and
suffering, and first in all matters of chari
ty. In all the ennobling traits that adorn
the lady and the christian she was pre
eminent. Peace to her ashes.
Dr. S. Belford, Dentist, will visit
Chest Springs, on Monday the oth day of
November, where he will remain at the
M'Kinzie house for one week, and operate
on the teeth of those who give him a call.
It will be a fine opportunity for those wlio
require his services. The Doctor is an
adept at his business, and a gentleman at
that.
Tlie War.
We have no news of General Sherman's
progress, either through Northern or
Southern channels, later than that printed
yesterday morning. There now seem to
be great doubts of the reported capture of
Milledgeville, though it has been ('vacua
ted by the Confederates. The detailed
accounts of Howard's progress towards
Augusta, show that he w;b checked be
fore he was within forty miles of the
town. Atlanta has been entered by a de
tachment of Southern troops. It was en
tirely abaiidoued by the Federal army,
and two-thirds had been burned. Gen.
Thomas, in Tennessee, has retreated to
Franklin, ten miles south of Nashville.
The Confederates follow him closely.
They have cut the communication be
tween Na-lisille and Chattanooga, and ex
cepting the few garrisoned posts near
Chattanooga, now hold all the country
south of Nashville.
From East Tennessee, detailed South
ern accounts of the late movements have
been received, but they give no new infor
mation. General Gillem, with the rem
nant of the Federal army, is at Knoxvillc,
recruiting his command. A f 'i ce of Con
federates is at Stravvlfc-rry Plains, -ixteen
miles cast of Knoxvilh-, watching Gi'dcn.
There will not be any movements in that
quarter for some time. Breckinridge,
with the main Confederate army, when
last heard from, was just south of Cum
berland Gap. General Burbridge, with
the Federal troops from Kentuckv, had
rear he 1 Cumberland Gap, and it was too
stronglv garrisoned to be attacked bv
Breckinridge, with any
piv.v.cet ot sue-
The Federal rcconnoisance? which have '
been sent south from Winchester, i:i the !
Shenandoah Valley, have fom.d F-.rly's
outpost, at Strasburg, much stronger than i
was su; p.-sed. No attempt will b- made i
to attack it. Sheridan's army is still '
around Winchester. Mos-eby has just '
attacked another part' of Fed. ral cavalry ;
at Cabletown, north of Winchester.
Moseby lost one man killed and five !
wounded. Twenty of the Federal caval
rymen escaped; thirty were killed and
wounded, and thirty -one captured.
It is reported through Southern chan
nels that numerous Federal vessels have
been seen on the Georgia coast, below the
Savannah Biver. They are thought to
be a fleet sent to aid Sherman.
A Charleston newspaper states that last
week a two hundred pounder Parrot t gun
burst in Battery Wagner. This batery is
the one that continually shells Charleston.
The Florida has been run into at
Fortress Monroe by a Federal transport.
The Florida was sunk. No particulars
of the affair are reported.
The Confederates are said to be pre
paring for an attack on Newbern. The
Federal garrison of the town is now but
four thousand men.

was burglariously entered by some un

of the Court House, and court bein" in
session the robbers doubtless exjx-cted to
capture a large amount of money. The
safe was powerfully charged with" po wder
and blown open, but was found to
contain but a few dollars. The treasurer,
Mr. Black, informs us that he never leaves
any amount of money in the safe over
night, from the fact that he has always
considered it unsafe. No papers were
taken and the loss is not more than fifteen
to twenty dollars in money and the de
struction of an unsafe safe.

How did M'Clellan receive tho news of his
defeat ? With resignation.
lVasIiingtoii'N Opinion or 1'aper
Money.
The following letter written by General
Washington more than seventy years ago,
on the paper or bank currency question,
will be read just now" with more than or
dinary interest. It should be read, studied
and reflected on by every man and boy ia
the land :
, r Mr. Vkknon, Feb. 27, 17S7.
Dkak Sue: Your favor of the oKth
i, i ri.
un. came uuiy iu uiou. au give an
opinion on an issue ot so much impor
tance as that which lias warmly agitated
the two branches of your legislature, and
which iiom the appeal-that is made, is
likely to create, a dangerous divion, is
rather a delicate matter ; but as this di
versity of opinion is on a subject which
has, I believe, occupied the minds of mot
men, and as my sentiments thereon have
been fully and decidedly expressed long
lefore the assembly of Maryland or this
State was convened, I do not scruple to
declare that if I had a voice in your legis
lature, it would have been given decidedly
against a paper emission, Uon the general
principle of its utility as a representative
and the necessitj- of it as a medium. To
assign reasons for this opinion would be
as unnecessary as tedious ; the ground
has been so often trod that a place hardly
remains untouched ; in a word the ne
cessity arising from a want of specie is
represented as greater than it really is.
I contend that it is by the substance, riui
the shadow of a thing that we are to be
benefitted. The wisdom of man, in r:iy
humble opinion, cannot, at this time, de
ise a plan by which the credit of p!cr
money would be long, supported ; conse
quently, depreciation keeps pace with
quantity of emission and articles for
which it is so exchanged rise in a greater
ratio than the sinking value of the in air v.
Wherein, then is the farmer, the planter,
an 1 the artisan benefitted? The debtor
may be, because as I have observed, I it
gives the shadow in lieu of the stiV
stance, and in proportion to his gain tit"
creditor or body politic sutli r. Wheth r
it le a legal tender or not, it will as has
been observed very truly, leave no o-L.r
alternative it nmt be that or nothing.
An evil equally great is the door it im
mediately opens for speculation, by whicli
the lea.-t designing and perhaps mo-t val
uable part oi the community are pvev.-d
upon by the more knowing and craft v
speculators. But coutrarj' to my inten
tion ani dcchir.'ition, I am offering rea
sons in support ot my opinion reason-,
too, which of all others, are least pk-a.-;ng
to tlie advocates for paper money. I
shall therefore, o.i'y observe general
ly, that so many people have suffered
by former cmissi. n, that, like a burnt
child who dreads the fire, no person will
touch it who can possibly avoid it : the
natural consequence of which will l-.
that the pp.vie which remains uiiexporttd
will be in.-tan:ly locked up.

pity that the first accidental collision did
not do the business, for two such accidents
occurring to the same vessel, under cir
cumstances so suggestive, are likely t
give our country a reputation for tricki
ness. The pretense of accident is two trans
parent to deceive anybody ; but it is pos
sible the government had no complicity
in the transaction. Some bold comman
der, relying on the popular feeling to bear

that he would be doing a good sen ice by
simplifying the discussiou as to whether
the Florida should be returned. 27.u
