stay With their masters, and even fight for
them, rather than come to us. Gen. Sherman
appears to bc putting 1t in execution quite
thoroughly. The order Of this officer e1c1u-
ding newspaper correspondents from the Fed
cra1 lines is regarded the last refuge Of an IN
competent pro-slayery general, who has no
heart In the war, and no head capable Of lend
ing and directing an army. Naturally enough
Sherman and Dupont disgaree. The Inter is
q bold, prompt, energetic officer, who believes
with MacaulaJ TINT II langsSd war can do moth
ing which negotiation OF orsubmission could not
do bctter.' Hence he Is for hitting right and
left, and following up victories without giving
the enemy time to recover. If the supreme
command had been in Com. Dupont's hands,
Savannah would have been in our possession
long ago.

Whenever you see paper snceringly apply
the term "Aboltionist, ~ 'ultraist = s.fanatlc,'
to loyal and earnest Union men or papers, you
may safely set it down as apro-slayeF sheet,
and one that loves s1aTery more than the
Union. Whenever il speaks Of itself as con
servatiye,' it is another sure sign that its ale-
glance isstransferred to the s1aTe-master.
"Conser7ative," IN the sense in which these
prints employ the word, means to conserve
and protect the practice Of slavery. Those
who are conservative for the Union, are called
"Ultraists'' or ttAbolitionists' by such papers.
L city paper, which has professed to be Repub-
lican for several years, exhibits all the symp-
toms described shove, and is becoming more
and more pro-slayery every day. It already
eats more sceesh dirt on an average, than the
Chicago Iiznss, and that is not little,

In the House Of Representatives on Friday,
the Goth inst, Alr. Arnold Of Illinois offered
the following joint resolution
7sesolzed BY The Senate and House OF Representa-
tres That the thanks Of Congress be presented to
and soldiers under bis command. who brave!y
stood BY him against greatly superior force in his
heroic defence Of Lexington, Missouri.
inois voluntecrH-thc Irish Brigadc-in testimony
OF their gallantry that occasion, authorized
to beaE npon their colofs the word = Lexington. ~
1?esGtred, That the Secretary OF War be request
ed to communicate these resolutions to Colonel
Mulligan and his officers and soldiers.
Mr. ARNOLD-Mr. Speaker, Congress will
hut give expression to the popular feeling Of
the country in passing the resolutions which
have been read. It is universally felt tlat the
defence Of Lexington was one Of the most
gallant acts Of the war. The young soldier
who conducted that defence is u constituent,
friend, and formerly law student with ME,
and therefore it is peculiarly grateful to my
feelings to be the medium oil presenting these
resolutions.
For many days surrounded by an i'm
mcusclY superior force, the ga1lant volunteers,
fresh from civil life, under Col. Muuigan
maintained the defence, and never yielded un-
til their ammunition Was expended and they
had been without water for many weary
hours.
The Irish Brigade las been recruited Iaainly
at Chicago, and tic names of Montgomery
and Shields, borne by companies Of tile brig
ade, lost no credit in the dashing CHARGES, and
| patient and persistent dcfenses Of these brave
men.
This war, brief as it has been, has furnished
| 1uany examples, Of our Irish and German clti-
zcns VI ing with Americans in their zeal aud
| patriotism in maintaining the honor Of our
| Flag.
When the history Of the campaign in Mis-
| souri, shall be written, the names Of Lyon, 81
| gel and Mulligan will be forever associated.
| I hope the resolutions will bo unanimously
adopted.

break away from her grasp, size will fird
her bitterest enemy in the people she has
now 60 abused and msu1tcd, and with whom
she would wage desolating war. Nations
are punished in this life for their crimes,
and the ray Of vengeance for England will
not always ta1ry When she reaches out
her right arm to save s1ayeE-a barbarism
hateful alike to Col and nlan-she will
merit no mercy from mankind if the
strength Of that arm be broken
forever. The hundred millions of men
who are to people these States long
before the history Of the impending war
can be fairly written, will avenge with ter
nblc retribution the wrongs their fathers
will receive If she espouses the causa Of
this wicked rebellion.
