What are we fighting for'

1t is well to keep clearly in mind the
object for which the loyal forces are in
the field. The federal government is de-
fed, its forts, its arsenals, and other pub
lie property have been stolen, and an arm
cd body threatens its capital. We de-
mand that this armed body. lay down
their arms and dispense peaceably to their
homes; that our captured forts be surren-
dered, and the federal property, stolen, re-
turned; and that the laws be respected,
and the constitution recognized as the
supreme authority of the land. Any
thing beyond this, is not demanded; any
thing less than this, is not desired and
will not be accepted. We war simply
and solely for complete restoration of the
authority of the government over the en-
tire country. We seek to infringe upon
no right of any citizen, but rather to sus-
tain every right which our laws and con-
stitution maintained at the breaking out
of the rebellion. No side questions sho'd
be allowed TO come in to distract us from
pursuing this object steadily to the end.
Let us not get too greatly excited
Many good people most earnestly desire
that this may be made war Of emanci-
patton. Pause awhile. We are fighting
for the establishment of the laws. We
have a very powerful support in the heart
Of secessiondom itself. Kentucky is with
us by the voice Of three. fourths of her
popular voice. Forty counties of Virgin
ia, embracing population Of nearly three
hundred thousand, are with us, and the
men of that section are fighting the
Union battles side by side with our troops
Tennessee also has large and intrepid
Union population. Missouri, the loss of
which would take from us vast western
territory, is ours by the voice Of her peo-

hEFAULT having been made in the condi

Hermanus Koning and Hendrick Koning, to
Engel DE Young, bearing date the sixteenth
day of September, in the year eighteen hundred
and ffty-eight, and recorded on the 25th day
of December, A. ID. 1860, in book or liber T. of
Mortgages, on page 4Oi, in the Registers Office
of Ottawa County, State of Michigan, part of
which said mortgage, being payment of 5000,
due the first day of January, A. ID. 1861, having
been by said Engel De Young assigned to me,
Jacob Cats, which said assignment was duly re-
corded in the Registers Office of Ottawa Coun-
ty, State of Michigan, on the 10th day Of July,
A. ID. 1861, in book or liber Of mortgages, on
page 1858, and no suit or proceeding at law hav-
ing been instituted to recover the debt secured
by the said mortgage, or any part thereof, and
there being claimed as due and unpaid on said

pie, and her troops are in The field with
ours. North Carolina has a large body
Of sound Union people, while there are no
uncomfortable numbers in all the other
secession States, who but await favor
able opportunity to take bold stand for
the stars and stripes. In this loyal pop
ulation is the hope, and we believe the
main hope, of the restoration of the gov
ernment. Were all the southern States
united rs one man against us, it would
be almost an impossibility to save the
Union. But they are divided, and that
is our gain. Can we afford to drive these
loyal people from us? Not at all. There
fore it is useless to urge, or to expect, that
this will be war for the abolition of
slavery. The slavery question is not an
issue in the contest. 1t may come in in
cidentally, but in no case will the nstitu-
ton be mclested by the order of the fed
eral government. Thus far it has not
been meddled with, and SO we believe il
will be to the end. The feelings of
Mr.. Lincoln on this matter are, thus
expressed by Hon. Caleb B., Smith,
Secretary of the Interior, in speech at
Providence, r. l., few days ago: a.
II have known the President long and
well. 1t has been my fortune to be Sc
lected as one of his constitutional adyi-
sers. l have Ind the honor of being con-
nected with this administration since its
commencement and l tell you tonight
that you cannot find in South Carolina
man more anxious, religiously and scru-
pulously, to observe all the features of the
constitution relating to slavery than Abra.
ham Lincoln. Had tho people of the
south been willing to wait and sec wheth-
er he would regard that oath which, in
the presence of the assembled nation, he
had taken, they would have found that
no administration ever organized in this
country would have more conscientiously
regarded and protected the rights of the
south than this administration would have
done. / know that speak the senti.
ments of the President and his advisers
of those who have controlled his ad.
ministration. "-Hampshire, Mass, Ga
Eette Rep.).

UNION VICTORY IN NORTH
-....... CAROLINA.

WASHINGTON, Sept. l.
Commodore Stringham and Gen. But
Ter have achieved greater success than
has hitherto been gained in the war.
The following are the particulars of the
engagement: The feet arrived off Hat
teras on Wednesday. Two forts have
been erected by the rebels, commanding
the mouth Of the inlet which commands
the entrance TO Albemarle and Pamlico
sounds which thus affords connection with
Virginia and the sea. The forts replied
10 our incessant fire but without much
damage. After three hours cannonading
the flag on Fort Clark was hauled down
and the rebels retreated to the other fort.
Our land forces soon occupied the aban-
doned fort, hosting the stars and stripes.
At IL 80 our shells were beginning to
play on the magazine, when the rebels
hoisted white flag. Gen. Butler refus-
cd acceding to any terms except uncon-
ditional surrender, which was at last ac-
copied.
By this victory, $50 prisoners, thirty
cannon, one thousand stand of arms, a
vessel loaded with provisions, another load
ed with cotton, and two United States
life boats fell into our hands.
A number of distinguished leaders of
the rebels were taken prisoners.
The capture places the whole coast of
North Carolina under our control.

LAMONT. An

... t..a LAMONT, Aug. %, 1861.
FRIEND BARNS; In accordance with
your request, l will devote few mo-
ments to hasty sketch of the Picnic
Party, which took place here to-day, as
hitherto contemplated, for short time,
by the teachers and pupils of two of the
Sabbath Schools of Grand Rapids, under
the Methodist Charge, and those of tho
Methodist and Congregational Churches
of our village.
AT about IL o'clock the favorite steam
er, Daniel Ball, with a company of near
ly three hundred, as bright, wide-awake
little inteligencies as you often meet with,
with teachers and friends, brought up at
the wharf of Messrs. LUTHER u HINs-
DELE, where the two schools of Lamont
were drawn up in order of reception, with
band of music fife and drum awaiting
the landing of their welcome visitors and
ready to give them warm greeting and
conduct them "a the step of Yankee Doc
die and Hail Columbia to a grove, where
the honors of the day and occasion were
to be suitably observed.
The grove selected for the occasion was
one of the loveliest in all natures wide
domain, on the premises of JEREMIAH o.
HEDGES, Esq, in the midst of which is a
spring of as cool and pure water as ever
welled forth from the bosom of mother
earth { dare say you know the location
and have drank of its water).
Arrived at the spot, song of greeting
was admirably sung by the members of
the Grand Rapids schools, after which
preparations were made for the collation.,
which consisted of an abundance of the
good things that are made TO minister to
the necessities and appetite Of poor, frail
mortals. Our city visitors were invited
to make use Of the tables whereon to
spread their repast, which had boen con-
structed for the entire company, but be-
ing found insufficient therefor the Lamont
ers divided off into groups, as seemed
most pleasing and agreeable, to partake in
picnic style of the good cheer provided
for the occasion. AS cast my eve over
the ample grounds thickly dotted with
the merry little companies enjoying them
selves, seemingly to the highest possible
degree, / thought of our soldier-friends,
far away on the tented field, engaged in
groups, as we were, perhaps at that very
hour, in partaking Of their MONDAY meal,
but doubtless with far less pleasing asso-
Citations, thoughts and emotions than
those which we enjoyed. " '

spreading branches Of most beautiful
