States are concerned. there never has been
an occasion when the great body Of the
community stood BY and allowed any such
outrage as that--never. Instead Of giving
real grievances 70 stand upon, it Is BY this
invention Of history; it is by this assertion
Of things as facts whict are not facts; it

regari 10 the ms tuition Of slavery in the
Southern States, that all this vsst cloud
Of passion aud Misrepresentation i, raised

Now. sir, do not believe that ninety
nine hundredths Of the men who voted
for Mr. Lincoln thought anything about
tie subject Of slavery 10 the States, or had
any policy on the subject. They were
opp sd to the introduction Of slavery in
to the Territories, They were 10 favor of
a general division of the Offices and the.
plunder. Many Of them wanted protec-
ton 10 iron. and | do not know what ALL:

thorough hatred of the Democratic party.

VOLUNTEER CHORUS.

CoMI, sing to the praise Of the good old days
OF our brave grandsires before us,
Who bore 10 the wars our flag OF stars,
With good old rousing chorus
Through thick and thin, mid the battles din,
King Georges rage defying,
They marched to The field, and would not yield,
But kept the old flag flying
ChoTas-Ihen here's three cheers for the volunteers!
With traitors no commitment
For the flag Of the brave shall ever wave,
For Liberty and Union
To the sound Of the drum, they come, come come,
From every hill and Valley
Like the waves Of The sea- for the Land Of the Free,
With hearts Of fire they rally
On on to the fight, thro' the day. thro the night
There II soon be stormy weather.
By the girls we love we II heroes prove,
And stand or fall together
Chorus.
Here's the Green Mountain men from the wood and
glen,
And the Jersey Blue, with his rife true,
And the boys of stout Rhode Isandl
The Empire State who cannot wait,
Crowds on from her furthest regions,
And the mighty West, from her teemiug breast,
Pours down her conqnerng legions
Chorus.
Wei hang JEFF Davis on n tree,
Upon his own plantation
And his reward give Boauregard,
And charge IL to the Nation!
And we bring from the wars the stripes and star,
When all our tolls over,
With a song 10 the praise Of the good old days,
And live and die in cloverl

DESPERATION OF THE REBELS.

John W. FOrney writes to The Philadelphia Pres,
as follows:
"Msny Of our bestinformed observers begin TO think
that there will be serious resistance 10 our troops n
Virginia and that the policy Of retreat will be main.
tanned by tie Disunoniss far more agreeable than
crushing and Dglorious defeat This Is not my opln-
ion. The conspirators must light, That DAVIS, Ste

and doubefaced logic of Hunters the brag OF that m'

parent uorance-to find the evidence Of this assertion.
But these bold bad men are already suspected by their
dupes They have always been distrusted by great
party in the South. And, debt, despair, and utter
gloom begin to settle upon the Secession cause those
who were forced INTO this cause VIII demand that
Davis and HE Directory shall do something or go
10 the wall. Bear In mind that the idea Of a d.
vided North and united South has been dispelled.
IL has been rerersed. We have no Andrew Johnson
- the Free States, no Emerson Etheride, no Frank
Blair, no Sherrard Clemens no George ID. Prentice,
TO divide our solid column, because these men, when
they speak and in the South speak and act against
foul and fostering wrong, and because the creed OF
the people Of the loyal States is that OF honor graft
tude and liberty. But in the seeded States all Is dis
trust and doubt. The o her Slave States are more
than divided because those who there oppose Seces-
sion will do il alike with the ballot ana the cartridge
box. Hence, bold forward movement Is demanded

You see that Davis has as last reached Richmond.
