From Uie Logan Gaxette. A WONDERFUL VISION.

"What I here relate is true. That which I have seen, I have seen and that which I know, I know. Let all the people read what is here writen, and ponder the wonderful things which I have witnessed in a vision. For much of that which 1 have seen in a vision, will be seen in the reality by all, in the fulness of the evil time which is coming and which now is. For a voice hath said, "that which thou scest, write !" My son our Grst born the object of our dearest love and most affectionate care whom we had reared in the ways of virtue, and educated with the view to an honored life, was among the dead at Get tysburg. We brought him home, to that dear hearth bv which he had grown from infancy to young manhoo I ; to the home which ho had left but a few months ago in the glow of health and the enthusiasm of hope. AYe had brought him back, mangled corpse, with a ghastly wound on his fair brow hardly to be recognized now, even by the loving mother who had borne him, and who bewailed him with unceasing lamentation Dead ! And my house was filled with the sad faces of neighbors and friends, who had known and loved our boy, and who came now to condole with us in the hour of overwhelming sorrow. He was buried. And I returned to a home which was saddened forever, to that familiar room, where,, in the "Tears that were past, my boy had so often, horn infancy to manhood, sat on my knee, or by my side. How dark it seemed ! How lolorous. And sleep had fled from me. My eyes, i.aa reiuseti to weep, socmen as n they were sered, and blessed slumber came not All through the dreary hours hours which seemed ages ! of that awful night I waited, and watched, and knew not reosc. That long night wore away at last and a day of fastinir. succeeded : and the dolorous night came again. As I looked out of the window to the North, a great light, neither of the sun. nor moon, nor stars, but brighter and clearer than mid-day, illuminated what seemed a vast plain, upon which the minutest object might be discerned with a clearness which was wonderful. And as 1 looked, I beheld the cominsr of a great host, marching to the sorrowful sound of a muffled drum. As they came nearer, and glided past, I remarked that there was no sound of footsteps where they trod. Then I knew they were spectres, the shadows of the countless dead, fallen in battle. Their garments were soiled and torn. And I observed, with a shudder which thrilled horribly through me, that the death-wound was upon every form, and that each ghastly face was the face of a corpse. Great God ! Here was an arm shot away ; and there a gash on the forehead ; again, an eyeball burst with a shot ; and yet again a temple crushed as by a blow of a gun-barrell. And as the spector-host glided by, I heard ai a. a voice, saying: "Neaiy, indeed, wilt thou be srazins frtv ilarc anil ilot'C tnllcf elapse, marching at this forced march which thou beholdest, ere this vast army of the dead can pass." I turned away in horror, and prayed that I might be spared a spectacle which seemed to freeze th, very blood in my veins. But now I knewa as I had not known before, what a multitude had fallen in battle. "When I looked again, the vision had changed ; and lo ! in place of those grizzly shadows, I beheld a great pool of blood. It was so large that ships might ride on its crimson billows. And congregated, by the hundred thousand, all around the wide circumlerence of its margin, were woman, pallid and tearful, each clad in robes of sombre blackness, and having little children by the hands, who wept incessantly, and gazing into their mothers faces, and called upon those who could make no re.ponce for their blood was in the pool at their feet. And far beyond this horrible pool, my gaze extended to houses made desolate, and families impoverished. I beheld these widows in their strugle for bread. I could see them chilled and shivering and crouching in scant clothing over wretched embers which imparted no waimth, but which were all that they could procure. And I beheld those orphan children, squalid and wretched, xincared for, and uneducated, going down into the haunts of vice, swept into the vortex of crime, for the wants of the father's guidining and restraining hand. And I cried out, in the bitterness of my heart ; "How long, oh Lord, how long ? And what shall we obtain which will repay us for all these horrible sacrifices ?" And the voice answered : "Look to th left of the pool which is before thee, and see what thou beholdest." And I looked, nd beheld a vast grove of tree, which were leafless and dead ; and on the branches of the trees were huddled myriads of unclean birds, lazily flapping their wings, and wiping what seemed to be blood from their beaks. Ami underneath was a multitude of men, crying "Blood ! blood ! more blood I" And the voice said : "These are the shoddy contrctors, and place-holders, and money-getters, and the ungodly among the priesthood. Listen attentively, that thou mayest hear." And 1 heard in loud and demoniac

shrieks: "Prosecute the war! Down with the Peace scoundrels ! No compromise ! No adjustment ! No settlement ! The war must go on ! Down with the Constitution it is a league with hell ! Cursed be the old Union it is a covenant with death 1 Down with Liberty except for negroes I Arm the black man ! fire the torch ! . whet the blade ! Burn cities lepopulate villages waste plantations

take the bread fioni famishing children drive weeping woman from the roofs that shelter them ! Steal books steal pictures steal precious plate God i asleep ! there is no hell, neither is there a judgment I" :

And as I gazed, I cried out : "Merci- dying by the wayside ; and the faces of fill heaven 1 are these men, or are they mothers were wan and bony ; and childdevils ? Am I on earth ? or rather, has ren were crying for bread : and there was

not the evil been removed which hides the 11 n coon f rnm li I .-tc 1 1,1., ,t- ,1 .1 ) .. T ...... . vui.i . 1 1 : i u i v ouiiu . Bin j. nut. looking upon fiends already damned ?" And the voice said: "Listen, yet again, while the ungodly priests are speaking." And I listened, and heard : "A new commandment give I unto you, that ye hate one another. Turn your plow-shares into swords, and your piuning hooks into spears. Thou shalt hate thy neighors. Do not unto other as you would have them do unto you. Accursed be the peace-ma-kers.

And the vorce said : "The phantom . wi,ich thou seest is the SD:rit which tnc idolatry, the blasphemy, tlio fraud, V St. 1 1 1 a , ,,, f . me rapine, ana tne crime which thou hast witnessed. And as I looked, I beheld many familnar laces, though tncy seemed disturbed witn evil passions, such as avarice, hatred, revenge, kc. une wnom i saw was dii m x r si minutive in stature and appearance, but he held a big book under his arm, and on the cover of the book was inscribed, So, 000 per annum. Avarice was his passion, and ho had bartered his spnl for gold. And I beheld an elderly man, with marked feat n res and lineaments, and iron gray hair, and a look which betokeued intellectual power, who with strong speech was goading the frantic multitude to yet greater excesses. He had bartered his soul ot the shrine of Ambition. And j-et another, younger in nppearance, with a beard prematurely vvhite, who had sold himself for naught, and who pursued the grizzly phantom, gasping and clutching t7.l-.c? o at what was at last shadowy and unreal. nd many I beheld, who looked sad, and gave signs of remorse, and who seemed anxious to escape from the damned beings who surrounded them. And the voice said ; "Look now to a 1 . 1 a -a- . the right, and see that which is to be seen." And T lnnkpd. nnd 1r 1 a. rrrpaf nesnni.

"The Union as our fathers . . . made it:" "Blpspd avp. thfi Ppnrp.ma. kers "Compromise agree with thine adversary while thou art in the way with him." I observed that the eyes of the assemblage were turned toward heaven, and on looking up I saw against the sky a bright cross, bearing the inscription which greeted the eyes of the first Christian emperor of Rome : "By this sign shalt thou Conquer." And I thought I beheld the heavens opening, and the spirit descending like a dove. The shades of departed statesman and patriots, ami of murdered martyrs were hovering in the air. There were AYashington, and Yebster, and Clay, and Jackson, and Douglas ; and as they gazed upon the let t their countenances evinced sorrow and indignation. There, too, were the twelve innoceut men slain by the monster McNeil ; and Mumford, who was hanged by Butler the beast, and Bollmeyer, with that sad smile upon his face, which he wore when dying. And I looked again to the left, and 1 saw that as often as any one sought to get out of the infernal circle, its denizens yelled after him with bitter imprecations of "Traitor," "Disloyal," and similar epithets ; or rush after with swords, or drove him back with bayonets. Yet many escaped, with great joy at their deliverance, and met with glad welcome from the rapidly increasing hosts on the light. And from the left they incessantly called and begged for deserters from the right. But few responded, and they only when promised an enormous price. And these crawled on their bellies, through mire and filth, from one assemblage to the other. Afid I noticed that their faces instantly became black, their feet cloven, and their tongues forked and fiery. And the voice said : "AA'hat thou beholdest at the North, is but a counterpart of what I might show thee at the South. There marches a specter host and there curdleth a pool of blood ; and demons are there crying for carnage and for vengeance , and there too, is a great host, like unto that which thou seest on the right begging for Union, for Peace, for com

promise, for Constitution. But look yet again, and thou wilt see the terrible judgments which are in store for a people who

noiate the commands of the Almighty !" And I behold a brazen ffky, and glaring sun, and vegetation parched with drouth, and springs whose fountains had failed, channels rocky and dry. And I saw great multitudes of men, w oman and children hurrying with parched tongues and feeble footsteps to the great lakes and rivers, to appease tho demands of thirst. I looked again, and beheld another curse, for the green fields were smitten with frost it the summer time, and yieldtsu not ine narvest ; ana tne cattle were famine in the land. I A ,1 T I. . t. -1 i . . -r , I xiuu x utMieui yet anotner curse. 1' 01 it grew dark, and I heard the rushin" of heavy wings, and lo ! the angel of the Pestilence passed, crying wo ! wo,! wo ! to the people accursed. And strong men fell down and died on the highways ; and plague spots came upon every cheek and breast, and there was none to minister to the dying, and none to bury the dead ; and the vultures crew fat and usurned tho land.

Amen Extraordinary Statements. .We copy the following extract from the speech of dames A. McMasters, Esq., editor of the New-York Freeman's Jour nal,' delivered at the Democratic mass meeting at Hamilton, Ohio. 10th in stant : Certain correspondence that ha1? lately come out between l'ernando Avood.of New- York, and the President, in which Mr. AYood asserts that he had it from re sponsible and high sonrces in the south e,,n cferaT. th' ,they we,;e trying if li ar ry-ki 1 , 1 lirtf airtti-aA lionL tin J f o l.-n f Lf.it 1 , "Vto . .

I say, then, I charged it in piint, and I here charge it by word of mouth, and am ready to substantiate it by inter cepV mnn'cation irom tne southern coniederacy, mat ;ur.

And therefore I am free to say more. I myself heard before the period that Stephens was reported lo have been turned back and not admitted to an audience with the administration at Washington ; that he was about to come, and was only arranging the terms with Jeff. Davis on which, on the highest patriotic and American grounds, ho was to come to Washington and make propositions that would overwhelm the North with astonishment. His plea was this : Thattiiey had come to the lowest point ; that now or never they must make friends with the North, make up their quarrel, or the American Union was gone forever, for France was at their doors claiming a close alliance, offensive and defensive, with the southern confederacy. Alex. Stephens we know was a gallant, truly patriotic, and Union man, as true an American and as worthy of the name freeman as draws the breath of life on this continent. His plea was : AYe cannot die and leave our names to posterity as the destroyer s of this Union. AYe must smother our passions; we niu&t put down our prejudices ; forget our wrongs and woes ; we must makeup this quarrel, for this American Union must be preserved. And with that high, patriotic idea, over whelming Jeff Davis with the obloquy with which history would stamp his name ... -.ti . t if he resisted, he came with full power to treat at AA'ashington for the cessation of this war, on the ground of a reasonable, sincere, and firm purpose to reconstruct the Union. 3T In Paris the lrdies carry canes; and in London they smoke cigars. This will change the formulas of the exquisites. Adolphus Augustus will say to his innamorata, Maria Louisa Eugenia, "shall I take your stick?" and Henry will say to his Anna, "Will you smoke an Havana?" Singular how these things will work.

$500 KEWARD.

The above reward will be given to any man who will show that any Democrat north of Mason and Dixon's line, bv word or deed, ever advocated a dissolution of the Union, or who ever express ed a desire, wih or thought, favorable to tho dissolution of the Union, under any circumstances, ever likely to take place. Now if the Democratic party is 'disloyal," they are "disloyal" to the Government of the Union, for disloyalty can exist in nothing else, and here is a first rate chance to get paid for the trouble of proving the Democracy, or any member of the party "disloyal," if it can be done. Now, if this cannot be done, and no one claims the reward for the di;covery, then the cry ot disloyalty agaiu.t the Democratic party must be voted a senseless and vile iartizan scheme, unworthy of honorable men. On the contrary we aflim, and no man dare dispute it, that the following Ilepublicans and Republican papers, ifcc, have, in various ways, expressed either directly or under certain contingencies, a desire for the dissolution of the Union, to wit : M. D. Conway. Anson Burlingamc, Mass., F. A. Conway, Z. Chandler, Mich., Horace Greeley, Tha i. Stevens, Pa., Ingersoll, 111., Rev. Dr. Bellows, N. Y., Lovejov, 111., Chicago Tribune, aa a w xX hi. . .

Now, all these arc leading Republi cans, and the lit might be almost indefi nitely extended. AYe will not dodge behind a mero empty charge, without proof, that these men and presses are "disloyal" to the Government of the Union we have their blistering record, as writ ten bv themselves, belore us. AYe have given that record to the public, and our Republican cotemporaries know we can do it again. Hence, they will not call on t:s for the proof, but being guiity ones being "disloyal" themselves they seek to escape the indignation of tho people by crying copperhead and disloyalty against the Democracy just as the thief attempts to escape detection by crying "stop thief." Now, then, if it be true (and we dare any man to the test) that no man in the Democratic party can be found who lias ever expressed a desire, in any form, for a dissolution of this Union, and all the above named Republicans have expressed "disloyal" sentiments, is it not true that the Democratic party is the "loyal," and the Abolition the "disloyal" party? We challenge anv man to a full scrutiny of O a - these facts. Afadtson ( 117.) Patriot. SGT There is a great demand for white servants to do housework in Nash ville, notwithstanding the number of colored persons who are at present in that city and neighborhood. This proves that the abolition of slavery is the very best thing that could happen for white laborers. Catholic Telegraph. Tho Catholic Telegraph, since it became a political organ, has aid some very foolish things. AVhy are white servants in demand to do honsewoik in Nashville ? Before the war, there were plenty of negro servants for such purposes in that place, and there are still more now, because nrgTocs, male and female, have been flocking into Nashville from all parts of Tennessee. If white servant girls are in demand at Nashville, .. i , i i i . it is only and simply because the negres es, being now "free," vill not xcork. They, or their fathers, or husbands, or paramours, on one pretext or another. draw Government rations, and therefore j they do not feel tho necessity of working' for their bread. But there is no need of white houe servants going to Nashville to take the places in tho kitchens vacated by the negresses. Tncy can find plenty of situations at the North, in a climate more congenial to them than the South. It has.

indeed, come to a pretty pass, when white girls are told that abolition is a great boon to them, because it opens to them the Southern kitchens heretofore occupied by negroes who are now too lazy to work. Tr The Paris correspondent of the Providence Jonrnul closes his letter as follows : AYhat an admirable thing is a strong Government, so that it be just and benevolent. -AYe in America are not governed half enough. There is a fault at the very beginning. Children are too much allowed to "have their head" and grow up a a -f

m utter disregard ot paternal control, which leads to contempt of all authority, if not to the destruction of the -pirit of reverence itself. Rave a much as we may about despotism, this order which reigns in r ranee is most admirable. In Paris everything moves like clock work. Municipal government here seems to be practiced as a fine art. And witneM its effect upon the population. Of the hun dreds of elegant seats put up all over the city for the repose of the people I have not seen one disfigured by a penknife From one end of the town to the other, everywhere the choice-t flowers are blooming, with only a barrier a foot high around the beds, and yet not a single Mower or plant is ever touched. Pans rod. In the most polite and obliging manner all your inquiries are answered, and every reasonable assistance is rendered if you get into a Ktrait. If an Englishman tdiotild tumble' into a gutter in returning from an evening party, he would le lifted as by the gentle hand of the good Samaritan, and placed upon hi . own beast. In all the vast movement of this immense and most complicated municipal machine, there i as little friction as it seems possible to have, and nowhere perhaps is the whirl ai d jar less wearing upon hensilivc nerves. The reader will naturally infer that it would require a long feat on off.evcre training to break Ameiicans of the habit of defacing public t-eats or plucking flowers that were within their reach. The hit as to the early training of children is worthy of attention. General Heaghcr. .The New York Metropolitan Record closes an article on tho recent letttr of General .Meagher against Mr. A'allaudigham, as follows: It ill becomes a man like Gen. Meagher who is himself an exile from his native land, to employ his pen against another exile, an honorable, high-minded citizen of the Republic. The Iiish exile had the benefit of trial by jury, although it was a mock trial, while the great Oliioan wan refused even that boon by the satrap of an American desp.t. A'allandigham has been the consistent advocate and champi on of popular rights, and hi persecution is altri Lituable to that fact, while Gen. Meagher can find no better political com panionship than among the men who have drivon the patriot into exile. After this exhibition of his opposition to tho cause of popular freedom, we think that Can, Meagher may return in safety to his native country. He has managed, by a lexterous use of his pen, to get on the side of tyranny at last, and and the British Government has gainel another con vert to its principles. A Contrast. D. S. Slaughter, a dis charged solder, was put off the Crawfordsville road, night before last. He belonged to company F, 4Gth Indiana regiment, and had a pass, but it was eith er stolen from him, or he lot it while in Indianapolis. He had his discharge papers with him, showing that he had not received any pay since Leing in the nervice and owes the Government nothing for clothing, ifce. lie had been in the service since November, 1.G1. Secretary Chase, we understand, although having his pockets full ofjgreenbaeks an 1 disohargel papeis, jassed free and without question on the load he took back to Washington. There is assuredly frome slight difference between being a Cabinet ofiu-er and a candidate for the Presidency, and being a private soldier.
