report to Citizens Meeting, touching his du-
ties in connection with the: wounded men Of
Company !, 18Th Regiment, at the late dIsas-

speaks Of the noble conduct OF Msda1fs Tur-

This report would be incorrect were to
omit the names Of Colonel TQrchiu and his
heroic wife: to the Colonel, for bis care aud

wounded men apeak Of the heroic conduct OF
the brave M1s. Turchin when the accident oc
curred-when the dead, dying aud mutilated,
laid in one macs Of rutn-When the bra7est
heart was appalled,, and al was aismay, this
brave woman was in the water rescuing
the mangled and the wounded from WaterY

misfort1nes bring forth heroic women, Whose

We are sure that the ladies Of Galena WILL
sgree with the TRIBUNE, when nc say that

re,ting-place the cold form Of beloved mill

adjust the pail over the remains Of q dis''n
.u;shed statesman, and bear them sadly away
to the narrow house appointed for all tne1
living.
We have been all our lives political oppo-l
pent of Senator Douglas. We have often mad
a. we honestly thought, occasion to condemn
severely his public acts; but We can see that IN
one thing, at least, We mistook him what
ever NAV have been his shortcomings, the noble
patr;otism he has shown in supporting the gov
eminent so heartily and earnestly in this hour
of our country's peril, has given US very dli-
fereut view Of his character as man from the
one we had previously held.
We recollect, with feeling OF gratefulness
which we can hardly find words to express, thai
after the fall of Fort Sumpter, Senator Douglas
was one Of the first men to take the Presiden
by the hand and assure hin that, 80 lar as ~
was concerned, all his energses should be de
voted to sustaining the government and intes
rity Of his country, without reference TO pas
differences, or party considerations-a piedg
which he has fully and honorably redeemed
When Douglas did that noble act, he sprang
q single step to lofty height in the estimation
of the whole American people; and to-day, a
we gather around his bier, We find &c many an
sincere mourners from the ranks OF his polltlcs
opponents as from those Of his friends.
We have not space for extended remarks
present but must close with the following brit
bat comprehensive sketch of his life from tn
Y. Tribune:
..The loss of Stephen A. Douglas at this cris
must be regarded as national calamity. VII
whatever faults of characterize would rath'
say Of education-Mr. Douglas was always an

prompt, intrepid, selfassured-he was the be

years of age, the Offices successfully OF State

A Correction.

10 our last issue We stated that We did no
consider the slavery question 1.-THE cause, bu
the pret.xt of rebellion" Lest our meaning
should be misunderstood, We wish to say tina
We referred to the political phase OF that ques
The chief cause Of complaint on tho part o.
secession leaders, and the protested reason FOL
their attempt to break away from the Union
Was this: that the Republican party was benz
upon the overthrow of the institution Of slavery
in the States where it exists and that the success
Of this party in electing their candidate for the
Presidency Of the United States, was therefore
sufficient cause for them to form separate Con.
fedsracy, even though it cost an ocean of blood
We believe this to have been merely shabby
psetext under which the secession leaders found
it convenient to cloak long settled and deep
laid plot to overthrow this government. Blu,
slavery itself is manifestly the root from which
has sprung the upasl Of secession. We need nc
other evidence of this fact than the speech Of
A. II. Stephens. Of Georgia, Vice President OF
the Southern Contheiveracy, made soon att his
appointment to that position by the Montgomery
Convention.
In the speech referred 70, ne declares that the
chist cause of the rebellion lies in the basis upon
which our government is founded, and that the
people Of the slave States, by their social neces
sites - veil as political convictions, (plainly
growing out Of the former) are driven to the
position that all men are created unequal" and
that the Almighty never designed they should
ssand upon basis of equality, but portion
were designed far masters and the rest for slaves
They have therefore inauguratei revolution in
order to Overturn false theories, and establish q
better system Of government than that which
our fathers framed. We do not recall his pre-
eise words, but this Was the substance of his
argument. No intelligent man can entertain any
other opinion than that We should be at peace
among ourselves at the present time, were ID
not for the institution Of human slavery.
