Secretary Ro1t.

The letter OF Joseph Holt, the late Posi-
Master General and more recently Buchanan 5
;fIcicn! Secretary of War; is Il noble vindicI-
tion of the North, and is an eloquent and for
c bic Justification of Mr. Lincoln and his Gov
ernment. II shows that the true hearted men
of ihc country, without reference to old party
distinctions, cannot help standing tOgethcr.-
When such men as Gen. Dix Of New York
and Joseph Holt of Kentucky volunteer to
defend the Government anil come to its side
when the best energies Of the nation are pour
ed forth to maintain its position and Yinlitute
insuted honor, why should patriotic men who
glory in these noble examples c1nsOrt with Co
vert traitors, and shape their political acts
as TO weaken tie hands Of Hose who alone
can weld the power of the ration? The let.
ter of Mr.. Holt thus speaks Of the material
of our forces, so much derid,d by the South ::
These volunteers have been denounced by
the press of the South, as "kuavcs and va
grants" "tIie tlregs and oll1courings of the
popuacc,' and who wou 4 rather hch IL hand
kerchief than fight an enemy in manly com
bat; yet we know here that their discipline
and barring are most admirable, aud, pre-
sumo, il may be safely affirmed that larger
amount of social position, culture, fortune and
elevation of character has never been found
in so large an army in any age or country
If they go to the South it will be as friends
and protectors, to relieve the UIao1r sentiment
of the seeded Stutcs fronT the cruel domina-
tion by which it is oppressed and Silenced, TO
unlurl the stars and stripes in the midst of
those who long TO look upon them and to re-
fI,o 10 IL
apsenals from whieir dasIoy;d han Is have torn
it. Their mission. will be one of peace, unless
wicked ard blood thirsty men shall un-heath
the sword across their path
We cannot fUrbear quoting another pas
sage equally significant. The charge that the
Government intends TO subdue the rebel States
is thus disposed Of:
"It is in vain for the revolVtionists to OK
claim that this is "subjugation." 1t is TO,
precisely in the sense in which you and and
al Iasy abiding citizens are s,t1jugatcd. The
people of the South are our brethren, and
while we obey the laws enacted by our joint
authority and keep a compact to- which we
only asls that theg shull bc rec1firrtf 10 DO the
same. We believe that llicir safety Demands
this we know that ours does we impose
no burdens which we ourselves do not bear
we claim no privileges or blessings which our
brethren of the South shall not equally share.
Their country is our country, and oars is
theirs; and that unity both of country and of
government which tie providence OF God and
the compacts of men have created we could
not ourselves, without self immoInton, destroy |
nor ear. we permit it to be destroyed by 9th

The Louisville Journal beautifully saws =
There are times when the lssiIse lies low in the
bosom and beats slow in the veins when the
spirit. sleeps the sleep, apparently, that knows
no waking, in its house of clay, and he win
dow.shuttcrs are closed and the door is hung
with the invisible Grape of melancholy when
we wish the golden sunshine pitchy blackness,
and are very willing to fancy clouds where no
clouds be. There is a state of sickness when
physic may be thrown TO the dogs, for we will
have none of it. What shall make the heart
beat music again, and the pulses dance to it
through all the myriad -throngrd halls in our
house of lifeI What shall make the sun kiss
the Eastern hills ogain for us with all his Old
awaking gladness, and the night overflow with
moonlight, music, love- AMI flowers? h1ve it.
self is the great ,timulant-the most intoxica-
ting Of all and performs all these miracles !;
but it is q miracl. itself, and is not at the drug
store, whatever they say. ] he counterfeit is in
the market, but the winged god is not money
changer, We assure you.
Men have tried many things-but still they
ask for stimulants. The stimnlants we use, but
require the use of more. Men try to drown
the floating dead of their own souls in the wine
cup, but the corpses will rise. We see their
faces in bubbles. The intoxication of drink
sets the world whirliDg again and the pulse
playing widest music, and the thoughts gallop-
ing-but the fast clock runs down sooner; and
the unnatural stimulation only leaves the house
it fills with widest revelry more silent, more
sad, more deserted, more dead.
There is only one stimulant that never fails,
and yet never intoxicates-Duty.-Duty puts H
blue sky over every man--up in bis heart may
be--into which the skylark Happiness always
goes, singing.

Wholesome and PATRIOTIC.

We commend the following, from Forney'
Press, to those carpers among the Democratic
press who are inst now occupying themselves
almost exclusively in abusing the President
and endeavoring TO embarrass the Adminstra-
lion:
perceive that some of the breckenridge pa.
perS, conducted 10y men who are at heart inim-
zeal to the country, and who should bc visited
hy the sternest popular reproblIion, are at
,cn2ting to m lke u point against the Almin-
is'ration by charging that the President has
transcndtd his powers in calling armies into TIE
field, establishing blockades, aud d recting our
generals to suspend the writ of hlbea5 corpus.
These malcontents are the only persons left in
the loyal States who cling to the robbcr for
tunes of jeff Davis and his associates Their
mission is, if possible. to divide the people by
attacking the Government. Nothing will be
left unlJne by them to accomplish this pur-
pose, and they cannot be too closely watched
And whatever may result, the action of Con
gress may be readily anticipated. Not only
will the President be heartily sustained, but
every step he has taken will be enthusiastically
endorsed. do not believe there will be any at
tempt at party movement in either house be-
yond the displacement Of such Srcession;s'
have been permitteI to remain in position
Democrats, who have heretofore antagOnzeI
the republicans, will now be foInl on the side
of the General Govern nent As an instance
of the spirit that animates patriotic men of the
late Democratic organization. it is worth stat
ing that Mr. Perry, the successor OF Mr.. Speak
er Pennington, tlc"tcd last year in the New
ark New Jersey district, who visited Wash
ington few days ago, declared his determna-
tion to support Mr.. Lincoln. ami his Clbin It;
and, at the same time, expressed hope that
nothing would be done to- prevent men like
himself from uniting with men of all other
parties in the same cause AHd. in conversa-
tion, some evenings since, with several mem
0ers Of the Cabinet, was struck with the lib
erality ami earnestress with R.iic! they argued
in favor of the recognition Of well known Dem
ocrats, who were ready to sustain the measures
necessary for the prosecution of the war, and
The punishment of the traitors.

The RnrIl Register has an article from
one Of its correspond nts on the culture Of

GUARD AGAINST VULGAR LANGUAGE.

There is as much connection between the
words and the thoughts as there is between the
thoughts and the actions. The latter are not
only the expressions of the former, but they
have power to react upon the soul, and leave
the stain of their corruption there. A young
man who allows himself to use one vulgar or
proiane word has not only shown that there is
foul spot on his mind, but by the utterancc
of that word be extends that spot and in.
flames it, till by indulgence it viii pollute ami
ruin the whole soul. Be careful of your words,
as well as yonr thoughts. If you can control
the tongue, that no improper words are pro.
nounced by it, and save that from corruption,
you extinguish the FIRE by snaothering it, or
preventing bad thoughts bursting out into
language. Never utter a word anywhere
which you would be ashamed to speak in the
presence of the most refined female, or the most
religious man. Try this practice little
while, and you will soOn have command ofyour
self.
