THE WATCHERS.
NJ JOHN G. WHITTIER.

From the New York Independent
Beside a stricken field | stood;
On the torn turf, on grass and wood,
Hung heavily the dew of blood.
Still in the fresh mounds lay the slain,
But all the air was quick with pain
And gusty sighs and fearful rain.
Two angels, each with dropping head
And folded win. 5 and noiseless tread.
Watched by that valley of the dead.
The one, with forehead sanity bland
And lips Of blessing not command.
Leaned, weeping, on her olive wand.
The Others brows were Scared and knit
His restless eyes were watch-fres liz,
His hands for battle gauntlets fit.
GLOW long, knew voice of Peace,
els there no respite l--uo released
When shall the hopeless quarrel cease?
"Oh Lord, how long.-One human sou
Is more than any parchment scroll
Or any flag the winds unroll.
What price was Ellswogtl's, young ant
brave?
How weigh the gift that Lyon gave7
Or count the cost of Winthrop's grave2
"Oh brother, ii thine eve can see
Tell how and when the end shall be,
What hope remains for thee or me-"
Then Freedom sternly said: 81 shun
No strife nor pang beneath the sun

"The moor Of Marston felt my tread.
Through JERSEY SHOWS the march led,

"But now. through weary day and night,
watch a vague and aimless fight,
For leave to strike one blow Alright.
ION either side my foe they own;
One guards thro' love his ghastly throne,
And one thro' fear To reverence grown.

Where with folded wings of PRAYER
May follow, weaponless and bare"
TOO late" the stern, sad voice replied /;
"Too late" its mournful echo sighed
In low lament the answer died.
A rustling "a of wings in flight.
An upward CLEAN of lessening white,
SO passed the vision, sound and sight.
But round me, like silver bell,
Hung down the listening sky to tell
OF holy help, a sweet voice fell.
"Still hope and trust" it sang "the rod
Must fall, the wine-press must be trod,
But all is possible with God"

GEN. Lane At SPRINGFIELD.
ANOTHER SPEECH ON TIE
NEGRO QUESTION.
He Defines His Position, and thai
of the Kansas Brigade. on the
War and slavery.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. Nov. s.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. Nov. s.
EDIroRs Mo. DEMocRAT:
About nine O'Clock Thursday
evening, the Twenty fourth In
diana Regiment, under the com.
mand of Lieutenant Col. Gar
vim, appeared at the headquarters
of Genera! Lane, ,a1d the regimen
tai band discoursed the best mar
tial and other music. Most of
the Kansas Brigade gathered
around the Indiana regiment,
and joined with them in calls for
Lane--General Lanel jim Lane,
the Liberator! On these names
and titles the changes were rung
for few minutes, when the Gen
eral appeared in plain citizens
dress, in front or his quarters. =
Again the welkin resounded
with cheers and huzzas, as the
sound of some two thousand
or more voices was borne off on
the breeze. The General re-
sponded as follows:
GENrLEMEN AND FELLOW
SOLDIERS: The reception OF this
compliment was as far from my
expectations as from my deserts.
am aware these demonstrations
are not intended so much for me
as for the Kansas brigade; yet |
should be the first to appreciate
and acknowledge any honors
which may come from the noble
State of Indiana. Can | forget
Indiana? Never Cheers "lf |
forget thee let my right hand for
get her cunning" 1t was the
place OF my birth, and is the
place ofmy mothers grave. In
diana has given me legislative,
executive, military and congress
ional honors. She has nursed
me as fond mother brings up her
child; and let my heart grow cold,
and my tongue cleave to the roof
of my mouth, when | cease to be
grateful, or fail to speak we'll of
my henefactors. Loud cheers
But the home OF my adoption and
tolls and strife is Kansas. She
was a prairie waste when first |
set foot or her soil, but through
desperate odds she has fought her
way up into the sisterhood of
States, and already her little army
has become famous thoughout
the nation for It's bravery and pa
triotism. For Kansas | have
wrestled as wrestles the mother
when she brings forth her first
born into the world. Thunder
ing Cheers. Indiana, as a part
of the past, is ensh;ned in my
heart. Kansas, as my home,
and as the living pre- sent, absorb
my thoughts and sways my des-
tiny. Once | obeyed the voice
of Indiana, and honored her; now
| 90 at the bidding of Kansas,
and love her. Loud cheering.
But gentlemen, am proud and
happy to see the two sisters of our
glorious Union striking hands
with each other on the soil OF
rebellious Missouri, determined
tha. our united blows shall crush |
this most csuseless and wicked
rebellion, ard preserve the Ma
tional heritage left us by our ia
theirs.
Gentlemen: | shall not conceal
the fact in one respect l differ
from some of my compeers IN
command as to the mode OF war
fare which is best calculated to
bring this wre:ched contest to a
speedy, durable and honorable
close. The point of difference

Success IN BUsrNEss.--The
grand secret of success in business
in business is to stick TO one
thing. Who ever knew any body
to do this for ten years without
accomplishing his ends? Con
tinual dropping wears away the
rock ; the highest obstacles be-
come as cob-web barriers before
a never tagging energy.
"Go out in Spring, when the
sun is yet far distant, and you can
scarcely feel the influence of his
beams, scattered as they are over
the wide face of creation; but
collect those beams in focus,
and they kindle up a flame in an
instant. So the man that squan-
ders his talents and his strength
on many things will fail to make
an impression with either; but let
him draw them to a polnt--let
him strike at single object--and
it will yield before him.

els TO their knees as have the esca-
ping of few hundred slaves. by
following the back track Of the
army. [Cheers Gentlemen, my
logic teaches that We cannot de-
fend and make war upon tho
same foe at the same time, and
if it is the purpose of the Govern
ment to crush the rebels, and pre-.
veat their slaves from stamped
ing, two armies should be cent
in tie field. An advance force
might be called the treason crush
ing army, and should be armed
with offensive weapons. The
other should be called the Sla.
very restoring army, and should
move about ten miles in the rear.
1t should be clad in q desfensiye
armor OF triple steel, for such is
the meanness of spirit which is
bred in the hearts ofmen by slave
breeding, slave trading and slave
holding, that the masters would
creep into every place of ambush
and fire upon those who were
gathering up and returning their
fugitive human property. 1t
would be illegitimate for the Sla-
very restoring army to return the
fire, as they might harm some of
the pets and darlings fo: whom
they are SO generously acting.
Therefore give them the defen-
sive arms, but no offensive weap-
ons. Such an arrangement, new
ell as it might seem, must be had
if Slavery is to be preserved in
the rear of an army, which moves
with force sufficient to crush
this huge rebellion. In my opin-
ion the second army should be as
numerous as the first. Preserv-
ing Slavery will cost the Govern
ment ten times as much as crush
ing the rebellion. Voices
That's so:"
The policy inaugurated by the
Kansas Brigade, which have the
honor to command, was not
adopted in a moment, but is the
result Of much experience. In a
speech recently made in the City
OF Leavenworth, my feelings of
indignation became wrought up
to such a pitch, that was betray-
ed into the use of language, which
was justly condemned by the re-
llgous sentiment of the country,
and which in cooler moments
meets my earnest disapproval.-
But whether excited or calm,
whether my language be rough
or smooth, principle and duty re.
quire that our policy be rigidly
adhered to until condemned by
the Government; and if it should
be condemned, if the Government
demand of the Brigade obeisance
to the behests Of Slavery, ! shall
consider the question of with
drawing from the field.
Since the rebels failed to ma
tionalize Slavery, their battle cry
is Down with the Union" Let
Slavery lift up its crest in the air,

Jim Lane is compelled to add q
note to such an internal chorus, he
breaks his sword and quits the
field. [Thundering applause
Let us be bold-inscribe "free-

and appear just what we are, the

tain as if written in the book OF
fate, that this point must be reach
ed before the war is over. Take

The pext day he took his fam.
lily to the Federal camp, sough,
out Col. Gibson's regiment, and
to his great JOY found in it a com
pany (Capt. Keller's,) from the
county that his master was in
Capt. K, and his company made
the necessary arrangements and
sent the family to their owner, at
Bucyrus.
Capt. Keller furnished him
with arms and provisions, and
John returned alone, to work out
his own vengeance in his own
way. He hung around the rebel
camp, night and day, and watched
lynxeyed. their out goingS and in
comings. Every day he had op-
portunlties Of shooting rebel sol
diers, but he had his game, and
would touch nothing less. FL
nally he shot one, picking him
off as he sat at the camp fire.
Another and another were killed,
till five of the ten slept their last.
Then two of them scouting in
company, were met, and both
killed, one shot, and the other in a
desperate hand to hand encounter.
The remaining three stricken with
fear, kept close in camp, but to
no purpose. One was stabbed in
his tent, another struck down
while on guard, and the last was
shot in daylight, almost in the
middle of the camp. Terrible
the crime and terribly was it
avenged.
John is now with Col. Glib
sons regiment, employed as
scout, and a more valuable man is
not in the service. His family
are being we'll provided for here.

Of itself. If it can survive th'
shock of war, let it live, but i
between an upperand neither mill

not for me to gather up the dus
again. | do not propose to make
war upon Slavery, but upon reb
els, and in the meantime to lei
slaves and Slavery take care oI
themselves. An oligarchy more
cruel and proscriptive than ever
scourged and cursed a nation, an
cient or modern, has brought on
this war for Slavery, and if we
are required to protect, defend, OF
in any way help Slavery, then
we are required to cooperate
with the enemy, to help him, to
defend him, and to work the
same end. Can We place our
selves thus in alliance with our
deadly and barbarous foes, and
at the same time conquer them,
subdue them, chrush them?
When lesser contradictions are
reconciled, we will think of har-
monizlng this.
War at best, is a terrible ca
lamity to nation. In all the
country through which we have
passed, the mails are stopped,
schools are suspended, churches
are turned into hospitals for the
sick and wounded, and general
decentralization prevails. Pro-
tect the war one year and desola-
ton, moral and material alone
would mark the track of armies.
Justice, humanity and mercy re-
quire that the conflict should ter
inmate as soon as possible, and
with the least practical shedding
of blood:
Astounding as may appear to
you gentlemen from Indiana, yet
it is a fact we have repeatedly
demonstrated, that a heavier blow
is dealt out to the realm of Sc
cessia in the abduction or free
dom of slave than the killing
of soldier in arms. Yes, and
| may put the truth in a stronger
light still. Abduot from the
same family slave, and kill in
9rms a son, and the loss the slave
will be regarded as the greater
misfortune-the calamity for
which there is no healing balm.
| could bring up more than
thousand witnesses whose o5ser-
vation and experience qualify
them to speak OF the truthful can
dor of my remark. Ii then by
allowing the slave to fall into the
wake of the army and find the
priceless boon of freedom, we
avoid bloodshed, save property
from destruction, and strike death
dealing blows upon TIE head and
front of this rebellion, does not
every consideration that is good
and just require that this policy
be adopted? This war is for Sla
very-let us make il the mighty
engine for Slavery's destruction,
and the rebels will soon cry
enough. They will see that like
Saturn in the fable, they are eat
ing up their own children, and
will consent TO cut short their re-
past. Every guarantee that is
given to Slavery by the Govern
ment strengthens the rebels in
their course.
The Kansas brigade has met
the enemy in battle and routed
him in every conflict. We
have destroyed Osceola, a sort
