For what Purpose is this Warl

We have never seen clearer or more
beautiful answer to the above question
than is given by the President in his late
message. The character and scope of our
system lave never been more admirably
stated nor given in language more easily
comprehended by the masses of the peo-
pie than is done ir this short paragraph.
Let it be printed in gold. and engraven
on the hearts of every lover of his eoun-
try.
"This is essentially peoples contest
on the side of the Union. tits strug-
gle for maintaining in the world that
form and substance Of Government, whose
leading object is to elevate the condition
of men, to lift artificial weights from all
shoulders. to clear the paths of laudable
pursuits, and to afford all an unfettered
start and fnir chance in the race of life.

lures from necessity. This is the leading

Honor to Whom it is Due.

It must have been apparent 20 every
candid reader of tho reports of the
movements of our armies thus far in this
campaign, that our foreign born citizens
have acted a noble part. Yet we fail to
see in our exchanges such recognition
of their valuable services rs they deserve.
When the call to arms was made, our
citizens Of German and Irish birth were
foremost in enrolling their names as de-
tenders of those institutions for which
too many to "the manor born" had
been wont vauntingly TO proclaim their
devotion, but were found slow TO back
their words BY deeds, when the day Of
trial came. A very large proportion of
our volunteer army is composed of rep
resentatives of these two nations, and
from what we have heard of their fight
ing. it would be no more than fair to
call them the back bone Of the army
They are among the first to enter the
battle, and the last to leave it hardy
and fearless, they are indispensablo--a
credit and pattern to the army.
Nor are the merits of these, our adop-
ted citizens, in the army. confined merely
to their bravery and powers of endu-
rance. Some Of the very best Of our
officers are of these nationalities-we
would that there were more of them
There are Germans and men of other
European nations, by scores-o!d and
tried military men-who would serve
with skill, and honor to our flag as Off
GERS, were they appointed to these posi-
tons; and one great mistake is that
their claims have not been recognized
This we think will appear before many
months shall have passed away.
Our National liberty is best apprecia-
ted by those who have flown to our
shores from monarchIal governments
They know the evils against which our
Democratic form of government protects
the people, and hence their willingness
and eagerness to fight that our flee in
situations may remain to us intact. They
are to gaeater extent than is generally
supposed, the salt which has preserved
the nation. IF we had now and then,
since the days of the revolution, felt the
iron hand of despotism clutching al our
national vitals, it would not now be said
that "the love of many has grown cold.'
The time has come when he who would
teach Native Americanism" should be
treated with as much contempt as
REBEL Green Bay advocate.

Cutting up the Black Horses.

1.-The New York Zouaves received the
first charge of the famous Black Horse
Guard, about which Gov. Wise has SO
often spoken. 1t was splendid corps
OF cavalry, all the horses of which were
coal black. They CAM upon the Zouave
regiment at galIop, and were received
~ the brave firemen upon their poised
bsvonets, followed instantly by volley,
from which they broke and fed, though
sereral of the Zouaves were cut down in
the assault. They quickly returned with
their forces doabled-perhaps 900 or
7oO-and again they dashed with fear
full yells upon the excited Zouaves. This
time they bore an American flag, and n
part Of the Zouaves supposed for an H.
slant that they were friends, whom they
had originally mistaken. The flag was
quickly thrown down, however. the hor
ses dashed upon the regiment, the ruse
was discovered, and the slaughter COM
menced. No quarter, no batting, no
fiinching now, marked the rapid aud
death-dealing blows of our men, as they
closed in upon the foe, in their madness
and desperation. Our brave fellows fell,
the ranks filled up, the sabers, bowie
knives and bayonets glistened in the sun
light horse after horse went down, pla-
toon after platoon disappeared-the rat
tie of musketry, the screams of the
rebels, the shout OF Remember Els
worth y from the lungs of the Zouaves,
and the yells of the wounded and crush
ed belligerents filed tue air. and terri
bic carnage succeeded. The gallant Zou-
ayes fought to the death, and were sadly
cut up; but of those hundreds of Black
Horse Guards, not many left that bloody

Rifled Cannon.

The officers of the Government are
busly engaged at various IN ltary posts
at the North in converting old smooth
bore cannon into rifed ordnance. Six
heavy guns arrived from the Springfield
Armory on Monday morning by tie
New-Haven boat, having been subjected
to the rifling process, and converted into
exceedingly formidable weapons. At
Governors Island there is the requisite
machinery for rifing cannon, and the
wolkmcn there engaged turn out an
average Of about six a week.

ney here was one perfect ovation
beginning with Milwaukee and ending
only ut our destination. The boys had
been paid off in gold and silver at Madi-
son, and seemed to have more money
than they knew what to do with. Over
1927, 900 were paid to our Regiment,
and as consequence the boys had a jol-
ly time, buying everything hey wanted
along the road. A splcnd id dinner was
served us at Milwaukee and fine supper
in Chicago. We proceeded from Chica-
go tho same evening by the Fort Wayne
Road and arrived in Pittsburgh Tuesday
morning at daylight, going Immediately
from thence by the Pennsy lvania Road
to this place. In Chicago we marc he'd
through the principal streets, and COM
pany B. was cheered an d complimcnted
on all sides for its soldierly bearing and
correct marching. AT Munroeville, In
diana, it was presented with Flag, the
boys singing the Star-Spangled Banner
and Dixie for the donors. 1t was anu
sing all along the route to witness the
demonstrations at every house. The
men, women and children would run out
with table cloths, aprons, sheets, and ev-
cry thing that could be snatched up at
the moment, and wave until the cars
were out of sight. No company enjoy
ed it more than the Prescott Guards
The scenery in the Allegheny Mountains
is grand to those who have never seen

saw General-late Major Anderson and

health. His daughter came by the side

while nine cheers were given with a will
by the soldiers for her. The tents were
pitched this morning, and what was

changed to beautiful white city, whore
we will abide until tomorrow, when we
shall again take up the line of march for
Harper's Ferry. The 5th Wis. is here,

@REMARKs ON BEEF CATrLK.-The opening
day was considered the hardest one Of the
year for drovers prices were very low, fair
and good stock selling at at 6269Sc.i prime
s1z@S9<c.; a few at &C.; extra 91<c. and pre-
MUM 91<(9l01<c, the latter price for pair
I Of fine Steers weighing at home 5000 lbs,
sold at $3(02 80 to a Brooklyn butcher.
There were a good many fancy stocks in
the wards and such could not be sold at
any thing like their real value. Fifteen to
twenty head of extra heavy and fne will
likely be left over for next market. Dro-
vers could not sell them even at 91z@92<c.
to-day.
The average of all sales was about I, ,74O at
TIC. The season Of Lent has materially
affected the consumption, particularly the
lower grades. Quite number of the stock
were detained at Albany. A few of those
delayed last week were in market aud sold
at loss to the drover of over $5@7 per
head.
SnEEr AND LAMBs.-The Sheep and Lamb
market is lower. We quote live at 41E@
SIC; dressed sucking hides tend fat, 9@iOc.;
very fine, over 91Sc. The average of all
sales this week was about $4 80 per head
sales by Hart & West, of 1,24l head, for
S5s3l 40; average, $4 70. By r. H. Hume,
1886 head, for $5,S5l IL; average, S4 55. By
Thomas @. Larken, 754 head, for $3,46O 90;
average, 81 A.
VEAL CALVES AND Mich Cows.-The mar
ket for Calves is quiet; sales at AZ to 7c.;
supply ample for demand.
Mich Cows are dull. We quote at $3.50
co. as TO quality. Very few over $45; sales
generally at $4,000 The stock is mainly of
common to middling.
SwNB.-The market is slow, and prices
continue TO favor the buyer. We quote live
at 514@524c. fer corn fed, and distlllery-fed
at 45S@5c. Dressed Hogs are dull at 624@
7c. few fancy city-slaughtered at 75@
nc. The arrivals are not so liberal.
