The Letter of Col. Baird.

We publish this morning an interesting letter from Col. BAIRD, of the 85th reji&ont. The letter of Capt. DUFHCY explainsin what manner it reached us. The trials of the 85th have been bard indeed, but we trust it wiU ahnMiifcfc bo exchanged soon, aad tbe-officers thus relieved from a confinement of so merciless a character. The letter will be read with much interest.

THE report of the capture of Charleston, as announced in our dispatches yesterday, created much excitement in Our city. In less than one hour after the news was received, the whole city, almost, was decorated with flags. The excitement continued through the day, with but little abatement. At tho time we write, however, the report lacks confirmation. We trust it may prove true, as we are disposed to think, it will.

A CORRESPONDENT writes from Yicksburg

t| that flour is so scarce among the rebels there that tbey call it the dust of heaven. Yes, it ::f must be more precious than gold dust. MAI'I BOMET told his followers thatihe soil of the S seventh ""hgffvetr Wits made of the finest $ wheaten flour, and we have no doubt tlratthe lauk and lantern jawed rebeld, as they gnaw their saltless and lardlesscbirn dodgers,dream that the plains of the free North are strewn with the^neBt-wheaten-flottr, and that its mightyrrvera flowwlth'tiiilk and hobejtt^ "Sweetileldtbeyond Ohio'*flood' e$'oip

Stand,dressed In living green, „, ,3 So to the J£ws old Canaan stood, While Jordon rolled between."

THE election here yesterday waacomdupted quietly, and the result has not disappoints^ us,- The average majority fqr^thet Union ticket is about Seven /fuftdr^df-yetes/p-rChie 19 a gain -aincoi.be Fall.alwtion of nearly five hundred voles.

Tho News Sheet attributed..our defeat at the Fall election to the course pursued by the "EXPBESS," in battling against the leadrders of the party, We suppose it will attribute the defeat and utter repudiation of its part now, to thesame cause. The action, however, of the late Legislature, the resistance to tho laws by the Democrats (so called) under tho organization of the Knights of the Circle, and the known treasonable machinations of the leaders of that party, have aroused our citizen- to a proper discharge of duty, and the result is, as aunounced.

Wo have not yet learned the result of the vote in the different townships.

THE 1Seios Sheet in referring to the arrest of several citizens of Sullivan and Clay counties last week, by Capt. CONOVEH and nine soldiers of the 71st Regiment, uses the following language: "Capt. CONOVER had no difficulty in making tho arrests as soon as it was known that he was acting under the authority of tho Courts."

Well, we rather think the arrests would have been made, even had Capt. CONOVER been acting under military, instead of civil authority. The tories of Indiana have by no moans backed down tho military power of the Government. It was not done at Marshall, nor in Rush county, nor in Noble county Ohio. The Government is fully propared to make arrests in the- manner il chooses, and the cowardly tories dare not strike its powor. Had thero been any "difliculty" in making the arrosts, wo presume it would have beou ovorcome. Tho Knights of the Goldou Circlo, will be compelled to submit to military or civil arrests whether they make any "difficulty" or not. It is all the same with the Government.

Wu notice in tho News Sheet of yesterday card from Mr OTKY, in reply to an articlo of ours, in which wo commented upon his disbursement of tho Relief fund. We treated the matter as one of public interest, and referred to him as acting in a public capacity. With his character as a man, or with his private transactions we have nothing to do, as they cannot concern the public, and it ia the duty of tho Prossto treat of mattors of public intorost alone. But Mr. OTEY seeks to draw attention from the subject of the disbursement, of the Relief fund, to us personally, and in so doing uses the following Iangiiage: •'If tho critter means that I am issolated from such society as his, then he is correct, and 1 trust I shall ever remain issolated from all, who board with widow ladies, and loavo their board bills unpaid."

Mr. OTKV in the above extract means to leave the impression that we have boarded with widow ladies and refused to pay the board bill. To make tho nahttor brief wo will say to Mr. OTEY that ho who makes that charge against us is a slanderer, and a deliberate liar. And further, that we shall uot be prevented from discussing public matters, by any reference to private transactions, nor shall we rol'er to such transactions again ingthis way.

IN MEMORUM.—Agaiu the Groat Worthy Chief, who rules above, has spoken, and another of our little band.has been called from the field of strife below, to God's Temple ol repose above.

Sister

Jane Stults is no more!

IS. B. AI lkn, Es'i. After the preliminary proceedings of the Convontion woro arranged Gen. HARROW and the Hon. H. P. H. RROMWKI.L appeared upon tho stand, and woro greeted with tho most enthusiastic applause. The President., on rising to introduce these distinguished gentlomen to tho people, mado one of the best addrosses to which v.e havo ever listened Ho wrought up the feelings of the peoplo to the highest pitch by his magic elo quence, and tho whole crowd regretted that he ceased so soon At the close of liis re marks, he introduced the Hon H. P. II. BROMWKLL, of Illinois. This gentleman spoke for an, hour and a half, with that powor, learning, and eloquonco which over charnclerizos his public speeches, ami which have^laced his name among those of tho best orators of the country.

We publish, this morning, I lie greater part of his (speech, and ask for it a careful read ing. It is both classical and eloquent, and ranks-with the best speeches of tho day.

At the close of Mr. BROMWKLL'S speech Qen. HARROW was introduced, and addressed tho immense crowd present for the space ol an hour and a half, with an effect and power which it is impossible to describe. It woul furnish us the greatest pleasure, as it would our [loaders, to publish the whole speech, but it was not reportod, and we cannot do tho General the slightest justice by attempt ing to write out the points of his speech.His burning words ol eloquence touched the hearts «f his hearers and will not be oft .iced or forgotten. Perhaps a more effective speech was nevet delivered in.Tcrrc Haute. The best wishes and praydrs of the loyal people of this vicinity will follow Gen. HARROW through his whole life

After the speaking was concluded, the following resolutions were introduced, and unanimously adopted, when tho Convention adjourned. The result was most gratifying to the people, and cannot fail to have a beneficial elfect

I know no party so long as party men support the Government of the United States I know no friends but the fri«nds of the Republic 1 know no enemies but the enemies of the Republic—wherever they are, wherever they be. If they be In arms against us we know them if they hide under the sanctity of our peaceful homes and'domestic quiet, they are no less daugerous, and will come te righteous retribntion. A tory now Is infinitely worse than a tory In 1778, and his children will inherit an infamy unmeasured in the history of past struggles for freedom and the deliverance of man. Tbia war will ge on it will prosper it will vindicate our true destiny. Fear notl Despair not! The nation# of the earth heave under the same impulse that gives us impetus In this struggle.

That the loyal people of Indiana are determined to maintain their allegiance to the National Government at all hazards that they will never submit to the withdrawal of the State fof JIudiana from the Union, nor to the formation of a Northwestern Confederacy that experience has shown that peaceable disintegration of any portion of the Union is impossible, and we adjure the people of our loyal State to rebulre, in such terras as will need no repetition, all men who strive to sow discord between the different States, or who speak of a re construction of the Government by leaving any State or sec tion out of tho Union. b.

That the miscreants in our midst who attempt to create dissatisfaction in "the ranks"4f our gallant soldiers, and induce them "to desert the colors made glorious -by their valor on repeated .battle-fields, are, meaner traitors than the armed rebels of the 3outh that they are entitled to, and will receive the scorn of all honorablomen that they are more dangorous enemies to the soldier than the armed hosts in his front, inasmuch as the latter strike only at the life of the soldier, while the former seek the destruction of his honor and self-respect, which to the true soldier are dearer than life. 10. That we pledge ourselves, collective ly and individually, to look to and provide for the comfort and support of the wife and family of tho soldier who is absent in the field battling lor the restoration of the Government.

For the Express

Union aud Butternut Contrast.MH. EOITOR: So great was the contrast between the Union meeting of Saturday, and the Butternut gathering that welcomed W. Voorhees, that I cannot refrain from sending you a few lines in roferenco to it. A most noticeable foaturo of the Union meeting was its superiority in numbers, and greatly moro respectability in appearance and character. There was no buffoon loading through the streets an idiot with a butternut hung to his breast, and.no indications that whisky was tho prevailiug spirit of ho crowd. It was a collection of peoplo who my taxes who have an interest in their country's welfare, havo determined to stand by l.hcir country and its flag, and cheerfully pay llicir share for tho cause. 11 was not a collection of people who pay but littlo tax most of them none at all, aud who continually grumble about taxes, seek every way to avoid paying them, and vot.o for tho man who humbugs them into tho belief that if they elect him, he will reduce, their taxes.

Tho Union mooting of Saturday assembled under tho folds of the Star Spangled Banner, and at onco evinced itself a collection of loyal peoplo dovoted to that Bannor, tho Government and tho cause of tho Union. The Voorhoes crowd assembled under tho same Banner to heap up abuso against the Government, to show their hostility t» every act intended to put. down tho rebellion, to express not a word of patriotic sympathy for the Government, to villify the President of the United States, and say not a word against Jeff. Davis and the rebellion.

At the Union mooting it was apparent'that there is war in the land, that our flag is in danger, that armed conspirators are lighting to destroy our country, to blot out our nationality, to humble us as a nation, At the Voorhees meeting tho inference was that it was a meeting to redress wroni inflicted by tho Government, that, tho Government is oppressing tho people, dial, the "right.*" ol tho people are imposed upon, thai, tyranny and despotism are laying iron hands upon the people and that there is nothing so dam liable in all the world as our Government.— To arouse the people to a souse of terrible danger, the purse and tho sword in the hands ol ihe President were dehited upon to exaggeration, forcing tho conclusion in tho loyal mind that whatever the purse mi^ht bo doing, the sword was not doing its duty in permitting .such characters to pollute the air with their traitorous calumniaiions.

At the ITn.on mooting the important condition of the country was discussed with the dignity, candor and patriotism its impottance demands. All men who love their country were enjoined to stand bv the Government and give it support, in putting down the rebolliotii At the Voorhees meeting there was not a spark ol patriotic tire: they gave no encouragement to tho Government in this tremendous crisis the drift of their speeches was to discourage the people from rendering the Govornmeut support they paid no ti ibute to tho old flag, nor invoked tho citizens of a connnou country to rally to ils protection they gave no warning that a terrible war is raging because traitors are determined to destroy otp- Government and our contry.— Sueh expressions as "the last vestige of liberty," "enslaving tho people,"- "to die as freemen rather than live aa'.slaves,'' "the point of the bayonet," were iudnlged in to turn the hearts of the people from the Goveminent and its holy cause and the declaration that the time might come, and perhaps we were at that tune now, when the people would take power into their own hauds, was a direct invitation to bloodshed.

Such Mr. Editor, is the contrast of Union aud Butternut meeting, with the guarantee that when the people went home from the Union meeting they did not hurrah for Jeff. Davis aud oblige themseives to deny it by telling a lie, UNION

What is tho right of revolutiouY It is tho right to overthrow tyranny by force. But these conspirators have plead it for thd overthrow of liberty itself, Hud lor the destruction of that, to secure which the right of revolu-. tion can exist at all.

Tho right to abato"a nuissance "by" fared also exists but what would yon think of liw nets, who in tho name of such a right, enteis the dwellings of his neighbors, aud plunders them of furniture, and ends by firing tho houses aud consigning life, and property to a midnight conflagration. If there bo no nuisance, therecan be no right to molest auy thing of anothers.

Thero can bo no right of rovolntion under a humane and wise Government." Such a right would be a contradictionjof itself, il would bo but another and more polite name for licence of unending depredation, and vio lation of law.

If the right of revolt exists as standing right, it denies all law and authority, now, and forever, and remits society to the condition of brigandage and barbarism, and stamps as a lie every utterance Of statesmen and law-givers—every charter, constitution and code—arraigns the founders'Of All govern-' meats as tottfonsors, and siVbmeirges law, order, government, liberty and peace, in oue gulf of chaotic njln.

allege thcy tiavc suffered provocation from various smirecs—such 'provocations afl are incidental to all human societies And will you, therefore, encourage them to the work of war, ruin, devastation and demoralization ol a peaceful and prosperous country, that they may gratify the basbr passions Which good government is intended to restrain, and glut infernal revenge on. the fortunes and liyes of unoffending .people

At a time when the great, republic of the earth is struggling against a causeless rebellion, when overy energy of the government is put in requisition to maintain constitutional liborty when the/rebel government is praying every friend of anarchy, at home, and every, despot abroad, to assist in tho foul work it has lytfguh' 'When "the ertemies of constitutional liberty in "the old world (Who have prophesied our .failure aro mocking at pup calamity when the rebel power has invoked and enlisted on its suit, the greed of gam in those who can furnish engines and missels of death from abroad when our old tlag which has been borne in glory around tho world is pressod upon a thousand fields when the means of tho nation .ire being exhausted in t.lio glgantid War-when t.ho coinpatriots of Kossuth and Canibaldi, aud the champions of freedom e.vcry where, aro looking with straining eyes across the deep, and waiting with trembling hearts the fearful issue of the strife whero do you 'soo these' mon who assume to teach the multitude the knowledge of constitutions and laws

That .which would be uppermost in his thoughts would be foremost on his lips—his soul would be busy With the great thoughts^ the heroes of his land and his voice -would ring with the sublime emotions caught from their deathless words.

It is in vain for any man to pretend fhathe is fired by patriotism, who nforr finds it to the iuterest of.his cause to dwell upon, the ruin threatening his country, or the guilt of the disargauizers who are working its destruction. He must have some' petty and sinister object to gain, by the efforts he makes to detract thu public attention with fictitious issues of his own creating

If this city were on fire and the flames wrapping already oj^r half its dwellings, and the incendiaries .wont set the fire were still runuing through its streets, some with blaz ing fagots and some with dark lanterns, set ting ntiw fire3 at every corner,—the city officers, «tid the firemen, and -the good citizens flocking to the rescue—what would you think of men who would mount a horse block to declaim about the powers ol the fire companies to fix ladders Or open gates"? What wtMld-you think of a man who should get jostled or thrown over by an engine care lessly used, who would raise a company to run howling through the streets^ calling ou tlie people "to leave the fire aud redress his grievance in ,getting his boots soiled in the excitement?

Now, in.what mauncr have some of our liiicians busied themselves during this war?

The GoVeriimentfs fighting fire—the Administration and all loyal men rush to. the rescue—thy agents of the rebellion are busy in every State—the contest grows more tremendous eV0ry h6ur.—yet look through the throng and you see: a class of men who. work as hard^asjiny.. but. only to, annoy, gainsay distract*. Kvery speech they uttor is coppied With "apnlause through all the ranks Of the rebellion. Why Because tbey never utter a word which, the rebellion would hesitate to utter jor Ueelf. They never do an act the rebellion Would not do under the same ciccn instances

The Congress of the United .States went on, from time, to time, devising and putting in force laws for the suppressionof the rebelHob, and providing for the raising of men and money. -Where did you then find these ehampiousiof free,government Were they devising and bringing forward any of those laws which passed, of any other lawi, looking to the puttibg'down •of the enemies of the Republic V. Nny, varily,tbut with one voiee were they found harping and quibbling at each and every provision of the laws brought forward, ftnd by evet-y species of fallacy and unfairness, striving to make every jlaw proposed or passed odious.in the eyes.of the multitude.

They stood before the gov&rnmedt as Satan, the accuser, stood in days of old, chargihg that the loyal men would not support the war if it became burdensome, and that as soon as it touched any thing they had, they would ctrrse the Union to its face. WhtiU over Congress, President, or |Calinet might do, theso men stood at tluir right hand to resist, 'i'lio public grew so accustomed to this,' that it ceascd to exject them to do else than wrestle and smite against every measuro of tlie Administration let it bo what it might.

Did thoy bring forward any measures for raising men or money or in any way strengthening tlio hand ef the Government against the rebellion, which should be free, from the objections they urged against the measures of the administration?

No, they could devise none that would be acceptablo.to their Southern Brethren. No, they stood ono and alt, challenging the good sense and patriotism of the country to a con test with their own Wickddness and folly.

When Congress would, adjourn those of them who had seats in that body would hasten to thoir several districts with all the lessons of artifice arid malicethey had gathered during the session, to make and rouso the mass and the rabble, after the manner of the secession leaders of Virginia and South Car olina, to hatred of their own flovernmont and contempt for its acts.

With their pockots filled with money from the public treasury, they could afford to spend their timo in going from place to place rallying reinforcements for the crusade against law and liborty of wh'ch: Jefferson wis was the aunointpd ieader.

Some with high soaring rhetoric stand up for the occasion, seek to intoxicate the Vain And credulous and assumiug to be tho peculiar |£sseea and proprietors .of the Eagle of Freedom, they niouut that aston ished bird aud career through the firmmnent of letters in the sight of the people, at a rate not seen since tho time A- istophaues set out, for Olympus on a dung beetln. Both extreme* of literature are invaded at once. Tho mob and the Cockney alike are iti eel stacy, and the looker on is puzzled to telWhetber it be a ^riot or a thow which is intended Law, logic and language escape in a crippled condition, and the scene goes on gathering {wondfeTS and anomalies at every moment.

It was lately said by a member of Congress, bonstingly^ that not one Democratic measure hid been'. Introduced into the last Congress, consequently' nothing he could s.uiction.' He.surely forgot one thing, which he fouud agreeable, whether it was Dcmocjtttic oi not, that was that ho and bis fellow ciiartpiotts of the rights of the people had voted additional mileage to themselves, besides three thousand dollars a year, and miloago already in their pockets, for their valuable services in the last House.

Thus they havo prought down the quarrel which they have made with the government to this hour, making every act of the government whioh would tend to lujure the rebels a subject of biftfer resistance showing at every woi-d that they could not help regarding it as something tohieh hurt them —as something which it would be oxpected they would oppose.

They sawrto rights of tho people of the loyal sSuteel but( thoee alleged to be outraged by, the Administration. N» one invading the rights of the loyal people bat the.

But who are their southern brethomV— What man in the Soudi .except be be in the rebellion desires them to act as they have vloao? Are not their Southern breth$m the men whom hands are red with the blood of loyal mea? Yes, they cannot conceal that it isfoi! the-Southern rebels they aro COQteadiag. For when have they ev«r paused to depict to you tho wrongs of the loyal men of the Sooth, who have: been the victims of the despotism set tip by the conspirators? Have.they grown eloqnent in describing the plundered estates or the desolated. hearthstones of your, fallow-freemen ef the South who sufti&iod all for loyalty to the Hog wliich these men abandon in the day of calumity? No they liave not told yon of tliesa. But I will tell you. •We to have Souther* hrtlkrt*, aod who are they? Tirty are tha men who have beeu driven from their homm, whoae hoqses have beea Jurats whose children ^have been feuHMd outto snflfer iitarratkuij and death, wboa*brothers have, been shot, h\ng, or bimtaddowa by blood hounds aod east bleeding and dying iutu tho jails awi deds of Southern Ueapotiwi.

Could the rt the Indian wl among the hills and valleys of East' Tennessee, and glut his savage ferocity by tomahawking and scalping the families of'the sturdy mountaineers, who stood for their country, and yet the Northern dastards shut this from their minds while they howled to you about the rights of their Southern Bretbern?

Think of it Americans. The Southern

eir schemo to subjugate East Tennessee by the'aid of savage Indians who are kept there to garrison that couutry and hunt down the Web who are wanted to fill the ranks of D*vLV armies.

Were not your brothers both tomahawked and scalped at Pea Ridge by savages in tho pay of Jefferson Davis? Did the red allies of these men's Southern brethren dance, waving the bloody scalps of your brother" in their horrid orgies? Is it with theso savaes tliat you aro called upon to lock hauds as ionthern brethren, while the inmates of ten thousand homes are still wandering in exile and distress, to escape the bloody hands of the organized assassins who claim fellowship with these northern expounders of ConStitu tional rights?

It is because these horrid atrocities ot the rebels are st 11 going on that the voice of our army continues to rise in thunder tones a&afnat Southern sympathizers here.

Our men have seen these things with their own eyes. They have camped and scouted through great portions of the South, and on every march they find the plundered homes of their Southern brethren they meet the iu giiives from the prowling banditti—from the blood hound pack hissed on by plantation oligarchs,—from the foul jails where this day thousauds of such brothers of orirs lie waiting the shameful death of the gibbet at the hands of the rebel despotism.

Our army in the field see aud hear these things, and this is why all our soldiers uo matter what were their political opinions, look with astonishment and horror at the insane attempts to hold tho hand ,of the Oov ernment which supports them in driving back rebellion.

More than this, they have seen the weak ness and demoralization of the South.— They see that the strength of the rebellion is failing with every day. They know that victory must, crown their arms'if tbey aro .only supported as they should bo by their fellow-citizens at home.

When you think of tho public voice of Indiana and Illinois, remember the three huudred regiments of our men who aro in the field from these two States. They are now scattered over a thousand fields. Wo do not feel thoir presence: but let the war go as it may, they,or most of them, will return.— You will see the oolumns of your returning volunteers who went out from among you in small numbers at a time so that you scarce ly misled them, coming ick in unending lines. Yonr streets will be thronged with the multitudes whose loyal hearts are not to be touched by the foul virus of secession or slavery, who come to swell the ranks of the loyal people. Their tattered bauners will blaze along your thoroughfares to the music of their „drums and the shouts of their battalions. Brothers and brothers, fathers and sons will clasp hands the overflowing tears of ten thousand hearts will mingle in that day of meeting.

Shall they come back iu triumph with tlie bonor of their country sustained and their own claims to heroism vindicated Shall they bear a flag whose stars shall shine over every foot'of American territory as they have shone since they were lifted to shiue with tne unsetting orbs of the North, by our fathers in the day of their glory Or shall they come back with muffled drums and trailing banuers.tojshrink from sight amid a compter ed and abject peoplo, to tell you that the bones of your elder patriots, your Washing tori, DoKalb ,and Marion, yonr Jefferson, Jackson, and .all the hosts who have laid down in bloody graves in this struggle, must lie on foreign ground. That they could not save them because of your uuwortliiness

No I You will not suffer it so to be. It will not be heard that the epitaph of this na tion was written before the eyes of some who witnessed its birth. The loyal people will not suffer it. Tho brave hearts and strong arms of this freo nation will be found equal to the trust imposed upon thero, at this hour. The God of Washington will go before our hosts. The Waters aro for us, for thoy overwhelmed Pharioh and his slave driving hosts. The Earth is for us, for she opened her mouth and swallowed up Xorah and his rebellious crew. The Heavens aro for us, for the stars which fought against Sisera are on our banners.

Already wo see the presage of triumph.— Look to Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, Arizona, Now Mcxico, tlio Indian nations, even to Toxas, and what do you behold. There is no rebel army iu any of these. A few mouths ago they wero counted as battle grounds.

Already you seo tho Rebellion has brought its own punishmentupon itself. Its govirn--ment, instituted by force and fraud, now, iu its extremity, is forced to seize, plunder and destroy the properly of its own people. Its rivers boar no coimnorcc,—its ports aro sealed—its districts, not ravaged by contending forces, are devastated by the agents of tho robel armies, Their govornment, like a caged monster, devours its owu members, Tho mechanic is idle, the merchant bankrupt, the fanner, in teai, docs not sow, not knowing .who may r?np. Tho Federal armies surrouud tlioiu as a cordon of tire. Their doom is approaching, and with it the doom of all who have hid part or lot iu their causo. The Same was prophesied of the mystic Babylon aud of all who shared in her awful commerce.

Go on, then, mistaken opposers of tho Govorumeht, and unite your fate to theirs, if you choose so to do. I will not argue long with you. You are not of the host that stand by Liberty in tho day of her trial, but thoso who follow, mocking, to her scaffold. Go on Got. up, if you can, a new party iu placo of the one you hive assisted to destroy. Go on If the party you are wishing to organize is of such a bloodsucking character that, to sustain it, you must pierce tho veins of your country, go on. You may build it on fine-spun technicalities and deem it safe from condemnation, but be assumed it will be so nigh like treason, the world will never be brought to seo the difference. You will find, though you may head a party, it will after all be uolhing new, but one old as Cain, aud wide spread as original sin. The same which followed Jeraboam and stoned Stephen. You may escape the punishment due to disguised treason for the present You may divide the calamities that would justly punish tho undisguised malefactor. But stilt whore will be your shield from the lash of contempt.

Aro tbore any who are counting the cost Of this war, and clamoring because of a paltry tax. Are they thinking of the pittaupe, it may draw—from their pocke/i to sustain tlie honor of the nation Lafayotte crossed the ocean to save? .jLook at the thirteen hundred thousand who have left theij homep to bear their breasts to tho missiles of neath-lookat those now lying fulflow in their festering wounds, some even without a shroud or dMpnlcher on the spot where their heart's blood baptized the land which you eneumber. Look at the million of homes, whence the loved ones have gone forth leaving the anxious hearts and brimming eyes that shall throb and watch peihaps in vain for the returning footsteps of a brother or a son! Think of the cost in treasure, blood and pain, caused by the work of traitors, and then tarn and look in upon your own soul oounting .the vile pennies you may possibly be deprived off Why should you wish your honor or your country saved, or even heaven to be -ecured? What is there in honor or country that could bo a loss to you, or in damuation that hurt your feelings.

Don't let your money fall in the hand of a volunteer. It would gnaw his heart to know that he had purchased a crust with that which bad caused your soul a grudge. Ah my friends it is such men who cry peace, peace.

With whom do tbty want peace? With plotters against tha Government in time of peace—with plunderers only differing from the bands of Murrell in their greater numbers, and in being tolerated iu some portion of the country. With men who deny the possibility of permanent peace by denying the possibility of permanent government. With men who have already overthrown peaceful government lp eleven States, and lave, as the presenee of these peace men testifies, made seme progress in our own.

I am for peace and have always been the loyal people are peace. And we aro at peace with all loyal men, and their peace and ours we will malntain by tho sword against all assaults.

Soon, I believe, we will see the day of eac« and of onr country's honor—but it will ie the peace which comes of utftmph when the pretMal Chief Magistrate will, in his turn, retire from his seat, and give back to you a country restored—a na{lo% (f-

decmedand sitting on the seat of power, tlTo Quean of Nations. Such will be tho result, the loyal people will it, Heaven decrees it ind Abraham Lincoln, with the help of God, ill accomplish it.
