A Brief Biography of Gen. ROsecrans

General VIM. Starke Rosecraus, was
born in the county of Delaware, State OF
Ohio, on the sixth of September, l8l7.-
His ancestors on the fathers side were or
iginally from Amsterdam, and on the
mothers they were of the Pennsylvania
Hopkipses. one Of whom signed the Dec
iaration of independence. Az the age Of
cighteeE, on his own direct application to
the Secretary of War, tthe Hon. Joel r.
Poinseu) he was appointed cadet at
West Point in the year 1887. He gradu-
ated among the five, and became breyet
lieutenant of engineers in 1872. His first
military station was Fortress Monroe,
where lie remained one year first assistant
to Col. K. +. DeRusSey. In August, 1913
he married Miss Ann Eliza Hegeman, an
accom- plished and worthy member Of the
old New York family of that name, and.
was ordered to West Point to act as Assts-
tant Professor of Engineering and Natu,.
raj Philosophy.
After remaining four years at the Acau~
emy, he was transferred to Newport.
Rhode Island, and made engineer in chief
Of the Notifications at Fort Adams. Du~
ring his stay there, from 1916 to 1888, he
was charged with surveys OF New Bedford
harbor ana taunton river, Massachusetts,
and plans of Qualifications, which lie exc
cuted 10 the satisfaction Of the War De>
partment. In 1853 he was made oou,
structing engineer at the Navy Yard, at
Washington, d. c. In November, 1856,
he resigned his commission in the army,
and engaged in civil engineering ana ara,
chitecture in the city Of Cincinnati. In
1855 he accepted the uper.ntendency Of
the Camel Coal Company, Of Coal Rl7er.
Kanawha Court House, Virginia, and
and Presidency of the Coal River Naviga"
ton Company, which he retained until
April, 1856, when he removed to Cincin-
natl and engaged in the mannture Of coal
oil and prussiate ofpotash. THIS was h!s
business when he WAS called by Maj. Gen.
Mcclellan to act as chief engineer and AID
de camp, and thence, shortly alter, pro-
noted to q Brigadier Generalship IN the
regular army.
In all these various positions, General
Rosecrans has exhibited the most spot
less integrity. None ever knew him
whose respect aud confidence he did not
command; and the writer of this sketch
could not repress smile whom among
certain papers kImdiy submitted TO his
inspection by the amiable and accom-.
plished Mrs. Roseclaps, he lit upon
letter dated Washington, August IA, 1854.
tes.ifying to Mr.. Rosecrans high abilities,
integrity and energy, and signed "Jefer-
son Dauis."
Socially, the General suits to the re-
tinement of the gentleman, the frank,
free sroken manner so taking with our
Western population. In person he Is =
little above the medium height, rather
thin. and very erect, with no feature so
striking as hls broad forehead and clesr

yellow autumn is certainly the most

the repose Of the country for the hustle

parting from the fields and woods at this
truly glorious period of time, when hill
and valley are robed in their richest ap-
parel, when the forest is ut once sublime

Garkly waving pines, ccdais that rival

The Effect Of the Abolition of Slavery
Upon the North-Henry Clay's Opinion

AT this time when strong effort is be-
ing made by the Abolition politicians Of
the North, TO have this war take the turn
OF emancipation OF the negroes Of the
South, II is interesting to read the opin
ion OF Henry Clay, expressed in letter
written TO Rev. Walton Cotton, of the
effects OF that measure. Read it:

Ex-President Buchanan on the War

At Union meeting at Haysville, Ches.
ter county, Pa, the following letter Of
ex-President was read:
WHEATLAND, near Lancaster, Pa. Sept. %.
Dear Sir have been honored by your
kind invitation rs chairman of the appros
pirate committee, TO attend and address
a Union meeting Of the citizens of Chests
er and Lancaster counties, to be held at
Haysville on the lst of October. This |
should gladly accept, proceeding as 1t
does from a much valued portion of my
old congressional district, but advancing
years and the present state of my health
render it impossible.
You correctly estimate the deep inter-
est which feel, in common with the cit,
liens who will there be assembled, in tho
present condition of our country. This is
indeed serious but our recent military
reyerses, so far from producing despon'
dency in the minds OF a loyal and power
ful people, will only animate them to
more mighty exertions in sustaining war
which has become inevitable, by the as
saut of the Confederate States upon Fort
Sumter.
For this reason we're it possible for me
to address you, waving all other topics, |
should contine myself to solemn and ear-
mes, appeal to my countrymen, and espe-
pecally those without families, to volun-
teer for the war, and join the many thou
sands OF brave and patriotic volunteers
who are already in the field.
This is the moment for action for prompt,
energetic and united action and not for the
discussion of peace propositions. These
we must know, would be rejected by tho
States that have seeded, unless we should
offer to recognize theT independence,
which is entirely out Of the question.
Better eounsels may hereafter prevail,
when these people shall be convinced that
the war is conducted, not for their con-
quest or subjugation, but solely for tho
purpose of bringing them back to their
original position in the Union, without
lnparng in the slightest degree any OF
their constitutional rights. go,
Whilst, therefore, we shall cordially
hail their return under our common ana
glorious flag, and welcome them a. broth
ers, ct, until that happy day shall arrive

dent with all TIE men aud means at the
command of the country, IN vigorous
