SECOND BOOK OF CHRONICLE3. CHAPTER 1 . 1 AikI it camo to pass in thoe days, when the numbers ot our armies were greatly reduced by disease, sickness aud death, and were not able to btand before our enemies. 2 The Chief Priests and eldars of the great city of Chicago, call-d a solemn assembly, and the people came together us one man on the seventh day of the ninth month. V And when they had appointed officers and scribea, they conversed together and made long prayers, and when the prayers were ended all the people said Amen, s mte it be. 4 And when they ceased to pray, a certain man of the tribe of Moabites roo up and said: Go to, let us draw up a memorial, and send it by the hands ot the Chiet Priests to Father Abraham. 5 And it came to pass, while the scribes were writing the memorial, that speeches were made by several of the wie men, and of the lawyers and the chief of the fathers. G And the memorial was on this wise: "The chief priests and elders and people of Chicago to Father Abraham; and at such a time. 7 Bj it known unto you, O Father Abraham! that God halli made known unto us, that the causa of our disasters, and defeats in battle are on account of our na tlonal bins. C We have suffered our brethien of lhe South to hold the seed of Ham in bondage for three scores and ten years; and now, Father Abraham, utiles you proclaim liberty to the slaws of the South our armies will meet defeat on all occasions Until we ?et free the slaves, sud turn unto tie Lord and -how signs of true repent0 And when the mem-rial was read in the audience of all the people they bowed their heads in token of submission; and they all said in a loud voice, 'Send on the memorial to Abraham.' 1U And when they all ngroed to thvi memorial, they put it into the hands of the chief priests to carry to the chief of iht Provinces even to Father Abraham; ami the names of the priests were Pat ton and Dempster. 11 And it camo to pass on the ninth day of the ninth mouth, even September, ! that JV.ttoa and Denipder too!; their jour ney Eastward, aud as they journeyed, they tamo to the chief city ot the Proviuitr ! .1.. f ! iv. ii to vt aammrio i ou me morning oi j - - o the second day. Pi And after lln-v had rested thetn-selve-J and were lelreshe I, the Honorable uideon, whose surname is Welles, brought them in belbro Abraham; and when they eav him they bowed their h ads and made obeisance. 13 Audit was so, when Father Abraham saw them, he learned the. object of their visit, lo recieved tho.n cour.eoudy. and g;tvo them lull opportunity to perform the responsible duty of their bolemu mission. 14. And when they hail road the memorial of the chief priests and elders ol the people of Chicago in his hearing, he. opened his mouth and said. 15. "1 have thought much on the subject of this memorial for w eeks yes, 1 may say, months, and 1 am approached with the mo-t opposite opinions and advice and that, too, by religious men like jou, who arc equally certain they represent the Divine will. Ki. But I say untc you, if it is probable that God would reveal his will to others, even to the priests of Chicago, on a point so connected with uiy duty, reflecting nion would suppose- He would reveal it directly to me. My desire is to know the will of God in this matter, and if I can learn what it is, 1 will do it. 17. Abraham continued further his parable and said: "What good would a proclamation of emancipation from me do, especially as we aro situated. 1 do not want to set forth a document that the whole world would see to be inoperative, as much so as the Pope 'a Bull against the Comet; would my words free iho blavcs, whou 1 cannot enforce iho Constitution in the rebel States? 18. And it came to pass, niter much talk of this sort, in which Abraham show ed theci very clearly ho had no authority to freo the slaves further than acts of Con gress allowed him; he very politely and courteously dismissed the messengers, and they returned to their homes at Chicago and there they aie to this day. 19. And it camo to pas, that as soon as the messengers from Chicago were clean gone out of the city, Abraham shut himself up and was sad. 20. And while he was shut up tn retire ment, the spirit of Henry whoo surname is Beecher, and the spirit of Wendell whose surname is Phillip?, and sundry

spirits, came to the outer court of the White House where Abraham boro his sadness. 21. And they called for Father Abraham, who answered from his chamber, and said: here I am. 2 And the spirits questioned him strictly, saying; what men are thee who have jut gone out? From whence are they? and what is their business? 22. And Abraham rehearsed to them tho whole matter, e.xpouuued it to them from first to last. 23. And the Spirits said unto hin O, Abraham! Abraham! You have done very wrong, these men ar all versed in divine tilings, and know" perfectly what you ought to do. Go to, n;w immediately and issue a proclamation, and declare the 6ons of Ham all free. 24. You, Abraham, are tho Chief Magistrate of this great and mighty land, a word from you will free every slave in the universe; only say the word and your voice will bo obeyed. 25. And Father Abraham was sorely perplexed and wist not what to do. 2(. And the Bpirita said unto him, you know, Father Abraham, the fall election drawcth nigh, and unless you do somthing to rouse the Republicans and Abolitionists, your seat is in danger the Chicago platform is about playpd t ut if you dont

free every slave in the land. 27. If you do not obey those priests uf. Chicago, and that speedily, tho Democrats will rise in the power uf their might and all hell will not prevent them from carrying the election; and then Father Abraham. larewell to fat contracts, good saleries. secure offices, and down will go the war. 2S. And it was so, when the pp: i its had said these things, thev deoarled and left Father Abraham and leturned eery one to his tent. 2Ü. And when the spirits were gone Abraham repented for what ho had said to the Chiel priests ot Chicago, and he called his chief scrib.- and sai.l unto him: Go to, make a proclamation, and jut it in w riting, and send it throughout all the provinces 11 swift horses, camels and droxedai ies. ÜU. And the ch'efscribe au-weted and said unto Abraham, shall we proclaim immediate emancipation, or shall we give a space for repentance? And Abraham answered and said, put it off until the fust davofthi first month, even until Januarv five thousand ei.'h; hundred three score a id three. 31. And the chief scribe answered aud said, Father Abraham the plan is good it will give us tims to see how our fiiends arc pleased with it, and if .ve find opposi tion too great, we will have- timo to modify it. 32. Furthermore, tho chief 6cribo 6aid unto Abraham, as soon as we send this writing forth, tho northern Democrats will become enraged, and will speak some hard things against our Chicago platform ii.d ur Republican rinciples. 33. Go to, therefore aud isue another i'locl.-.mati on, and I will put it in writing, let us put a complete gag ou these Democratic dough-faces; let us proclaim, that any person, who shall say a single word ag;tint our administration, or our proclamations, shall be put in Bastilo and fur ther, if any person shall publish a Democratic newspaper or other writing within thirty days, let him bo banished and his property confiscated and by this nicaus we will certainly carry the October elections. 3-1. And Abraham answered ami said, these aro my sentiments exactly, let the thing bo done speedily; aud it was so, and the second proclamation came forth, and was sealed with the great seal of the San lied t in . Chapter h. 1. And it came to pass in process of time, the proclamation of father Abraham was sent to the four corners of the laud, and was read in the rernar.ular tongue by all tho people, and behold there was great diversity of sentiment among the people as to its meaning, some believed it meant one thin;' and some another, and the neonl ' 1 t - were undecided. 2: And when the Governors of tho Provinces beyond the River saw iho writing thy met on the top of an high mountain apart from their respective Provinces at a place called in tho German tongue Altoona. ti. And w hen they camo together on the top of the high mountain ovon on the top of Allegheny, they shut themselves up in an upper chamber to consult as to what they should do to show father Abraham their loyalty. 4. And when they had consulted togetherthe chief epeakoi , even Andrew, of one of tho Extern Provinces, rose up and said: Men and brethren, hearken unto me, go to, kt us draw up a memorial, and Jet us carry it to father Abraham.

5. And it came to pass as soon a they had prepared the memorial, they descended from the top of the mountain, and set their faces towaids the chief city of the

Provinces. 0. And when they arrived at the irale of thc chief city even Washmgtr ii, they en quired of the Porter for fathei Abraham and if the old man was in health. 7. And when they found a place to

lodge in, they washed their feet and combed i for rulers and law makers, their heads, and were refreshed, and the j 2-7. And when the lots were counted, woodman set meat befors them and thev it was found that the Democrats far outdid cat. (numbered the Hamites ea, by many 8. And on the third day they came in thousands, and w hen Father Bascomof the

before fataher Abraham and bowed their heads and made obeisance, and Abraham received them courteously, and made them a tea st. j ax u vt (ivil v a n, ?i v t v ' ' they spread the memoria! before Abraham, j and read it aloud in his hearing. And the u nUn iwrHonorflmom- ' read in er was in this wie: 10. Most venerable father Abraham, we the loyal Governors from beyond the river, having met in secret conclave on the top of Allegheny mountain, and consulted together how we mav strengthen your hands, and preserve the Chicago platform. 11. We do now, hither Abraham, con gratulate you on your late proclamations, first in freein" the sons of Ham from bondage, and second, in putting a gag on tha Democrats, and we now implore you on our bended knees to enforce these proclamations to the very letter, 12. You know, father Abraham, the Democrats are outspoken and learned w ithal, and can make long speeches to while away the hearts of the people as Ab-olom once did, and unless we can put their lea-1 dart into Fort Warrer, they will carry the! 1 October election, and therefore you see our craft is in danger. 13. We repeat again to you on our lov -

alty and that of our peoplr-, and we im- Richmond, peradventuro wo may yet 10p'orc you to devise some plan whereby we.trteve our character, and with this saying

can get rid of Yallandigham, Cox, Yoorhees and their confederates, t.en untill after iho election. 11. If vou can do this, we will easilv j beat the Butter nuts, and save our platform 1 arid wlun the election is over you ca:i turn J them 1j..o as vo r have done all the other state prisoners w ithout tcllmg tliem why, or for what, and they will not dare ask a:.y question. 1" Veil r. ;;y rest assured, father A bra ham, if we let tl iese Copperheads get the j second Tuesday of Oc - I J , mm I i n t il Ii I l . . x-k . v i . I I -I.Kv tober you may as well pack up aud nuke , Jr . tracks for llhuois, and go at rail splitting ' 1 again. 1(5. And it, canu to pass, when they finished reaJing the memorial, that Abia. ham's counte; a.ico fell, and he sat in astonishment until the sun went down; and wh n ho came to himself he dismissed the Governors, and returned every man to his Province. 17. And it camo to p?.ss after these things, that tho people of the Northern Provinces beyond tho liver, met together in their respective inheritance on the second Tuesday of tho ninth month; and they cast lots who should be their rulers and law makers in time to come. 18. And it was so, when the lots were told by the Scribes and Pharisee, lo, and behold! the Democrats had tho majority, and the Chicago Platform was repudiated, and also father Abraham's Proclamation. 10 And when tho Democrats of Oberliu found they had clocted their men, they raised a large sum of money even thne talents of silver and they bought a pair of Butternut Breeches and sent them by tiustv messengers to the Editors of the Cleveland Herald. 20. And when tho Editor saw them, he said, with tears in his eyes, my friends, I am greatly obliged to you for your kind present; but I cannot wear them, I have put on sackcloth and ahes; and I shall go softly the remainder of my days. 21. And it camo to pass, when tho llamils of Oberliu and their colored brethren found they were defeated, they cast dusl on their heads, and said cue to another, this will never do, we cannot stand this. Go to, let us send for Jodiua, whose Kiirname is Giddings, he is a cunning man, and peradventuro he may find some hole in this election whereby we n ay save our beloved platform. 22. Now it was so, that Joshua was in a distant country attending to the sons of Ham, as Ambassador from Father Abraham, and withal ho was old and stricken in years. 23. And when tho messengers from Obeilio came to him and told him thev were defeated ho lifted up his voice and wept core. And ho called for the Magicians, Astrologers and Soothsay ers, and he inquired of them what would become of the so.13 of Ham. 21. And they answered and said with oho voieo: 'Tho decries of God shall stand, a servant of ssrvants shall ho hi unto his brethren.

Aud wheu Joshua heard the answer cf those tUc men, he took his bed, j turned his face to tho wall, and wept sore, i And when the meengers from Oberliu I saw his affliction an 1 distress, they returned to their homes, and there ll;ev are to I t'lis day. j 2o And it also camo to pass in (hose) days that the people of Indiana, and also Pennsylvania, held meetings and cast lots Kush-1 ght' heard the result, he cried out 1 ke Athali.i, of old, Treason! Treason! 28 And moreover he 6a;d, no wonder j we are defeated, the Union men have allj t "one to t ho war. but tu r:bf;:i v t raitors. 7 J 7 the DeraorratSj staid at home to vote, and heuce we are knocked, our platform is gone, we thought the devils were dead, but alas, they rise up around us like, the locale of Egypt. 21). And when the news of these elections reached father Abraham, and when he found hisplatfoim gone, and his proclamation repudiated, his knees smote together.and there was no more strength in him, ai.d his spouse said unto him, 1 am weary of my life, let me, I pray thee, leave this city, I fear it is doomed to destruction, and he said unto her, go and 6he depar ted towards the Fast country. 30. And Abraham aid unto his councilors, we are undone, we may thank Greeley and Beecher and Phillips and tho cursed Abolitionists, for these Democratic; victoiies; if wo do not now push this war with more vigor, and punish the rascally contractors and swindlers, we may as well pack up and make for Illinois. II. And his couneelors all said with a loud voice, our time for making money out ; of this war is about orer, let us onward to they adjourned until a mote convenient Season. Special Tispatch to The Chicago Tinier. Cincinnati, Nov. 3. j c , i i u r. . ! On Saturday last an abolitionist i ,, , . , brown, a hatter in Davton. mpt named Dayton, met on the j strc.ets 1olImi.vcrf S(nior eJitor anJ (.ÜI)rk.tur of ,hy D;ylon anJ lur R trivjuj aeliberatoiy drew a revol - ver r.nd shot him dead.

The inquest Was held cn Saturday night, and I have a cony of the testimony taken before the Coroner, relative to the murder of Mr. Bollmeyer, tho able and fearless democratic editor of the Dayton Empire. The witnesses to the occurrence are nearly all leading abolitionist?, including Mr. Coppy, abolition State Senator from Dayton. His testimony and all the rest, shows it to have been a deliberate and willful murder, without the slightest provocation. It required all the efforts of the Mayor and Sheriff to save the jail from being mobbed and prevent the crowd from taking Brown out and hanging him. Brown is a vindictive abolitionist, and undoubtedly drew his inspiration of hate against Mr. Bollmeyer from abolition papers like the Detroit and Chicago Tribunes. A terrible feeling pervades the democracy of Dayton and Montgomery county against certain leading abolitionists who have expressed their juy at the murder of Mr. Bollmeyer. The democrats of Dayton are determined to put a stop to these nefarious proceedings, and it will require the strongest jails to hold fciieh men from popular violence. Mr. Yallandigham was not in the city at the lime of the occurrences, but is on a visit to his mother, at New LLbon, Ohio. Tho abolition papers aro trying to prove that politics had nothing to do with the murder. Mr. Bollmeyer ranked high among the democratic journalists of the State, and his cowardly murder creates a geling all through Ohio. The. testimony wa so strong against Brown, that his friends, after a few witnesses weru examiuod, waived an cwamina tion, and turned the case over to the Grand Jury. A guard of United States Regulars are now standing guard at lhe jail. There is much angry feeling, but, as leading democrats have charge of tin city and count', no further outbreak is apprehends!. jCiTA very happy comment on tho annihilation of time and space by locomotive means of travel, was made by a little girl who had ridden fifty miles in a raili oad train, then took a coach to her uncle's house, some five miles further, and was Asked on her arrival if she tamo by the cars. We came a liltlo way in the cars, and then all tho re6t of tho way in a carriage.' Wk do not lo-c our children w hen they die; bu' tho living ones mo often lost.

rrom my own observations; siaimg, uii, j and the -entrc by the 30lh lud.ana; to that I was in the thickest of it, f.om the.tlie right ol the 33J Ohio ws the 17th commencement until daikne.-s brought it ' brigade, I ut their Lattery (Loomis") had to a close: this was occasioned (my being left them, and they had to light without in tho fight,) by tho absence of the other; it. The enemy appeared fiom the CeeU nou-cominissioiicd staff officer whose duty ( bottom in three bodies, viz: 2 brigades on it is to bear lin kages to and from a batte j our light against the 17ih bri-ade; -1 ry upon the Held of battle. j brigades ou cur Jell against the 20th

Upon the moruing of the 8th ult., when , about six miles from Perryville, cur ear 1 a long intervals, next came an order to make; j ?.s good time as possible, f r the rear j were rrreotea w nn tue re port oi cannon at j gu.irds ot the two armies were skirmish-1 , Jag. It needed no second order to spur up our tired and worn out soldiers, for the j thought that they were at la-t to meet the

lue they Had Dsen loilowmg lor so manyp'rur s unie me mianiry were weary eeks was enough. j keeping up a murderous fire upon them.

I had been a little indisposed for several days, and was riding in our ambulance at the rear of the Brigade, the hospital steward riding my horse, at the time the order came. I immediately took him and went iorwaid; I caught the Battery in the course of a few minutes, and lemained with it durinir the lest of the da v. When the head of Gen. Kosseau's column had arrived within about three miles of Perrysville, and about one half a mile from Chaplin Creek, it w as halted and a survey vey of the ground taken. At this time there was to the light of us. ab ut a mile, a section of two mm 5 from one id the bat leyK.3 ja Gilbert's corps, shelling lh. wo,,.js ;n e .front, but ''without i.btam - j ,,,,, an .nswer f:0Rl tie enemy in a:i form. The ground before us was a saccession of small hills and ravines rnnuini: nearly paiallel vriih the creek; this ground i wie m,tle rn-f nr,e v,nd nr.d m nf'ud.l -. After crossirg the creek; which lay here in the shane of a ha f circle, b'iidsn? in towards us both on the iii;ht and left, the ground rose to quite an eminence aboe the Surrounding countrv. in some places very abruptly a id in others with a gradual 1 slop This range of hills kept the course of tho creek and was crowned with woods in which the enemy had his artillery postj ed, as we afterwards found out. From the n,.m..a il, n.a appearrnce of the ground Gen. R oseau male up his mind that the enemy was lying in tlio v.oDds across the creek, and immediately commenced forming his line of battle. The 17th Brigade being in the advance that day, he posted it on the ex tremo right. Our Brigads, the 0th, came next, consisting of the 10th Wisconsin, 38th Indiana, 2d, 33d rnd Codi Ohio Reg. imentand ShnouGons Sib Ir.d. Battery. Then on the left of us was posted the 23th Brigado consisting of five regiments and o o o two batteries. You seo by this arrangement that our Brigade vas in tho center of the lire of battle, for Jacksoiis Division of two brigades and Ten ill with one brigade were placed, some lime afterward, on our left wing; while this arrangement was going on, one section of Loomis' Battery was ordered down on what was calculated to be, and was afterwards made, the front line of battle, to see if he could bring out the enemy's fire and show us his position, but he very wisely held his peace, and after Loomis had fired away for twenty minutes without getting an answer a regiment of Kentucky Cavalry was ordered to make a reconnoisance toward tho i reek and. immediately afterwards tho other part cf Loomi-es llattery and outs were ordered to the front. The Cav; In proved to be the right bait, for no sooner had they got within good easy range then the enemy opened two Batteries upon them which sent them scampering back. We soon got into position and an artillery fight of two and a half hours ensued, in which wo lost in our Battery 1 man killed, 3 wounded and 3 hor-es; about this time tho encmv commenced moving a large force of infantry and artillery toward our left wilh the evident intention of turning our left wing. Jackson Division and Terrills Brigade had now come up and wero juickly formed on our left, to prevent this movement; and at the same time our infantry was brought forward to support the batteries, j The action had become general along the whole line. (3 o'clojk P.M.) The enemy's infantry now appeared, advancing towards us down the blope of the ridge in va6t numbers, the artillery keeping up tho fire over their heads. Loomis battery, of which you see so many accounts in the papers, now fell buck half a mile and ceased firing; this left the right very mnch unprotected, and, in my opinion, was the worst blunder committed on tho field that day. Tho infantry of tho enemy hail gained the bed of the creek, which waa nearly dry, and was protected from our fire. I sliouM have stated that there had

Ill' forces wcie not witnin range; but all wo could do for them with our bntleiiV-, was done. The enemy kow apj eared üü: of the creek bottom, ai d the woik of uu'1" a,,u ulsl,ucl,u" w;'iltULruinla,'T becoming engaged. Uur batu-ry va3 ported on the right by the 331 Ohio, 01. the left by the lO;h Wi.e.n.in, brigade, and a part of Jackson's foices; . a::d 2 Lugades against our own, (the 0;h.) la ... n- ma ;o u.i-ir apuarai.cj " over the top of the hü, we commenced giving thorn cancer, and I cr.:i bear wit"ess tl. at it made temble havoc amon ' their ranks.

Their fire upon us was telling tenibW, but still not a nia:r tlinched. The enemy, at about .75 or 8( yards distaut. had to come over a tise ot ground that brought them, as we were, in plain view. Here was where they suffered ti e greatest loss.
