vented il possible. Bat il liberty does not
descend from the tranquil nights Of power,
il will aiise in blood, amidst the confusion
Of families. And what difference between
the two~appariions. The one has the face
Of an angel, radiant with immortal life the
ether the front of demon, shaking from
lis horrid hair pesllence aud war All
this was seen by the emperor OF Russia,
when on the 2lst of September 1898, he
called upon his people TO unite with him in
emancipation, "which," he nobly declared,
sought to begin from ADORE to the end that
Il may not come from belotv:;' and now this
very year twenty millions of Russian Serts
have peacefully passed out of the house OF
bondage. Cheered by this great example,
let us not forget that Il begun from ADORE.
There is another practicable advantage
where the action proceeds from the gov
eminent. The interests of loyal citizens
can be protected. Compensation may re-
lieve the hardships Of individual cases nor
can | object. Never should any question
of money be allowed to interfere with hui
man freedom. Better an empty treasury
than single slave. "A bridge OF gold would
be cheap, if demanded by the retrea'ing
fiend.
Fellow-citzens Il have spoken frankly
for such has always been my habit. And
never was there greater need of irankness.
Let patriots understand each other and
they cannot widely differ. All will unite
in sustaining the government, and IN driving
back the rebels. But this cannot be done
by any halfway measures, or 10y any luke
warm conduct. Do not hearken 10 the
voice of slavery, no matter what its tones
Of persuasion. Believe me, its friendship
is more deadly than its enmity. If you are
wise, prudent, economical, conservative,
practical, you will quick and hard-strike
too where the blow will be most felt--strike
at the main-spring Of the rebellion. Strike
in the name Of the Union, which only IN
this way can be restored--in the name OF
peace, which is vain without the Unicn, and
in the name of liberty also, sure TO bring
both peace AN union in her glorious train.

ca The state of the country during the
week has been about in statu quo, with per-
haps shade better look in Missouri. Col.
Sturgis advanced on Lexington, and the
rebels fed He arrived in season, howev-
err, TO give them one or two shells as a part
ing salute. Fremont is in pursuit of Price,
and we also have a pleasing rumor which
we trust will be confirmed, that government
are about to send 10000 troops west 25,-
900 to Kentucky and $4,000 to Missouri.
There is no doubt the rebels are becoming
alarmed at the probability Of an attack on
the seaboard, and the widest rumors are
prevailing at New Orleans and other places.
Mcclellan has wisely requested the press to
refrain from comment on any naval expe-
di,ioa. In Western Virginia, we have had
more success, and that part of Virgins is
now considered safe from the rebels.

OCTOBER ELEcTroNs.--State elections
occurred in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Minnesota and Iowa on Tuesday. Last
year there was great interest felt in these
elections, as they, in great measure, de-
cided the presidential election then pending
and many sat up all night to get returns
Now very little interest was felt, and oui
of the States named, many scarcely knew
that such an election was to take place, SC
changed have our affairs become, from the
ballot-box TO the cartridge-box. The few
returns received show large majorities foI
ahe Union and the thorough support of the
Government. In Ohio, David Todd is elect
ed governor. lie was formerly democrat
but was supported by all the friends of th,
government without regard to party.

True DEMocRAcY-We have always
claimed, since the war began, that Dickn-
son, Holt, johnson, &c, represent the true
democracy. Other kinds are spurious
Here is bit from a recent private letter
from Mr.. Holt. He says Ozark as are
the clouds upon our sky, and long and anx.
iously as we have watched for the light to
penetrate them, my faith in the ultimate Fri.
umph Of the government remains unshak.

cent and glorious institutions would survive

tional troops, who were taken prisoners at
Bull Run, were sent by the rebels from
Richmond TO Fort Monroe on Monday
They were rel, ased for the reason that the
rebels couldn't f ed them. This seems to
indicate scarcity of provisions among the

KANSAS FULL or FIGuT.-Afier the
iall of Lexington, Gen. Sturgis made a
requistion upon Major Gen. Stone of the
Kansas militia, to call out the militia Of the
eastern counties Of Kansas. The people
responded heartily, and poured into wyau-
dotte in large numbers. They were imme-
diately sworn into the federal service for
thirty days, and now compose part OF
Sturgis' command at Kansas City. The
I'd Kansas regiment is also at Kansas CITY
under Major Cloud. Nine regiments, mos
of which are full and the rest rapidly fill
ing mp, have beer furnished for the war
Every man in Kansas Is now well drillc,
and ready for fight if occasion requires.
