American politics was not to put the
best man at the head, and then the head
arrange the rest of the members, but
the members first becomes well organ
lied as a political machinery, and then
selects some thing for head around
which they can rally and carry out their
plans through it.
Observations made by Juan several
times since HARRIsoN's election has
gone to convince him that this notion
of his is about right, HARRISON was
not the smartest man, but he was. the
most available-the likliest to take with
the masses. He had had long military
career-had fought the British-fought
the Indians, and had always been con
siGered an honorable and true man, and
though now becoming old, he was de-
serving of respect for past services, and
what higher mark of respect could the
people bestow upon any man than to
make him President of a great and pro
gressive nation, and besides the name
of HARRISON would be as a spell among
the people who had little sympathy with
the political policy in which the Wings
believe, but as matter Of still further
policy, the name of JuoN TYLER had to
be associated with that Of HARRISON so
as to make the chances the stronger
and so "Tippa-canoe and Tyler too" be-
came ballard and a byword in the ma
ton. The results of the election OF
HARRISON on the manufacturing inter
csts of the country, were as we have
already stated. Any how as far as Juan
could Judge, for employment for manu-
featuring operatives became abundant,
and immigrants from otherlands came in
to the country by hundreds and readily
found something to do. It might be
unfortunate, but HARRISON did not live
long to occupy the presidential chair,
and JOIN TYLER happened to be kncad-
ablc-very plant in the hands Of the
cottonocracy of the South, which, to a
considerable extent, prevented the pro
grammc of the Whig party being car
ried into execution.

Published by request from the Advent Heraldl
American Slavery-The Prophecy.

You tell of a bright land far over the sea.
But ah can YOU call it the land Of the free?
Where the image of God for a handful of gold,
Like n beast of the field, in the market is sold
Where the child from the mothers fond bosom is torn
Where the father is chaned leaving orphans forlorn
Where the maiden is barered like merchandise ware,
Then doomed to the lash, and the groan Of despair.
Woe! Woe to thee, fair land over the main
For the canker of DEATH dark slaverys stain,
Shall gnaw to thy vitas, while every sigh
From the victims who writhe, mounts for Justice
high,
And he the great Lord of the universe wide,
Shall smc thee earth in thy strength and thy pride
For vengeance must fall, for foul cruelties done
On the beings redeemed by his own beloved Son.
The sound of the war drum shall thrill thee at night
As thy SONS and thy brothers are borne to the fight;
The slave and the cotton shall stab thee with pain,
And the North and the South be divided in twain;
And brother ganst brother shall strike in the fight,
And battles be fought in the dead of the night
And the white maid and widow in sorrow shall mourn,
And the flags of thy freedom in tatters be torn.
The North in her might like wlrirlwind shall rise,
And the notes of the cannon be borne to the skies
And though the warm blood of her heroes be shed,
The light of her freedom shall never be dead;
The stars and the stripes excelsior shall be,
Proud Liberty banner by land and by sea;
And the Union, though spurncd by the Shareholders $
Scorn,
Shall be guarded by Mortimer for ages unborn.

BATTLES OF THE REBELLION.- The
New York Sunday Times publishes a
table, showing the number Of battles
fought, from that of Fort Sumter, April
u and 13, 1861, to that of Cedar Noun
TAIN Va, Aug. 8, 1862, between the
Union and rebel forces The Times
says it is prepared by a reliable gentle
man Of that city, who has given an i'm
mense amount Of time, labor, and patient
research to the subject. 1t gives the
commanding officers on both sides; the
killed, wounded, missing, and prisoners,
on both sides, as well as the result on
of each battle. In nearly every instance
official reports of Union losses have been
procured, and it is believed to be nearly
correct. According to this list two hun
dred and three engagements, minor and
greater, have occurred between the dates
stated above. The total killed and
wounded on the Union side is 1885,
and the total number of missing and
prisoners q 500 the actual loss on the
Union side in killed and wounded, and
by disease, is stated in round numbers
to be $500, aside from the number of
prisoners and missing. The rebel losses
in killed and wounded cannot as mat
ter of course, be correctly given, but it
is estimated that they are, at least, as
heavy as our own. This being so, the
losses in killed and wounded, and dis
ease on both sides, would be ILL., $50.

EL1THAYER's S COLONIZATION SCHEME.

ELI THAYER's COLONIZATION SCHEME.
Hon. Eli Thaycr's scheme for coloni-
cation, by armed men in southern states,
which meets with much favor by the
President, Secretary of War and other
Secretaries, has been discussed several
times in cabinet circles and will prob
ably soon receive formal official sanction.
The project contemplates an expedition
of 10000 colonists, enlisted for six
months, and supplied with transportation,
subsistence, arms, and a General pro
vided by the Government, whose bust
ness it shall be to hold, occupy and pos
sess the public lands of Florida and
other lands, belonging to rebels, and
seized under the law of the last session
of congress for non-payment of the di-
rect tax. Thayer promises, if allowed
to carry out his plan, to bring Florida
into the Union as a free state by the
first of February next. Texas and Vir-
ginia are already talked of as states to
be subjected to the same rule.

THE REBEL LOSS.

I am informed by men who have
traversed the field, that the rebel loss in
killed is not less than loco. This is
not guess work, for over eight hundred
still lie unburied Their wounded are
in our hands, and are over two thousand
in number. Their loss of officers is
proportionatc One Brigadier and sew
eral field officers are known to have
been killed. Quite spirited fight was
had over the body of the Brigadier,
which was recognized by the three stars
and wreath of fbullion The rebels tried
to take it from the field, but were pre-
vented by our artillery. The efforts Of
our men were equally vain. The rebels
at last gained it, however, but not with
out great slaughter.

OUR LOSS.

The exact extent of our loss [ cannot
tell. but think it will not exceed my
first estimate. Quite number Of our
men on the left are still unburied Brig
Gen. jackson, division commander, was
killed on the field. Brig. Gen. Terrill
was wounded, and died yesterday of his
wounds. He was last winter chief of
artillery of Gen. Buell's army, and was
promoted after the battle of Shiloh
Brig. Gen. Webster was badly wounded
Beside the above named officers We had
quite a number of field officers killed and
wounded. than the proportion

THE NIGHT OF TIE BATTLE.

tt was calm, moonlight night that
succeeded the ebay Of blood = A solemn
stiffness reigned over the field. Small
dark bodies fitted hithcr and thither, en-
gagged in the removal ofthe wounded and
the burial of the dead. Our army lay
upon its arms and awaited the morning,
which it was prophecied would break
over the fercest battle of the war. On
the right the rebels performed the last
sad Office to many of their comrads-
Lou1sianians, Alabamians, and Mississ-
ippians. On the left and in the center
they were not as particular, and many
of their dead-some eight hundred-lie
unburied, and there await some kindly
hand to remove them from the face OF
the earth.

War Notes From Kentucky.
THE BATTLE.

The exact location of the creek on
whose banks the late terrific battle was
fought, may not be traced in the "war
maps" cxtant, and [ will therefore give
you its exact locality. 1t is in Boyle
county, one mile from Perryville, and
three miles from Maxeille, two small
towns in the Northwestern part of the
county. 1t is some ten miles west of
DanyilIe, the shire town, and nine miles
south-by-west of Harrodsburg, the shire
town of Mercer county. The country
for miles around is very broken, being
no less than a succession Of hills. The
creek is now dry, and is fed by these
hills among which it worms, turning
and branching toward all points of the
compass. The hills on its east are very
high and irregular, while those to the
west are lower and more even and wave
like. Deep ravines and low valleys in
tersect them. The ravine through which
the creek flows has steep, broken sides,
and is wooded, but taken as a whole the
hills and ravins of the battle field pros
per are under cultivation, or are clear of
timber The rebels main position was
on the hills east Of the creek, and in a
strip of timber which girts them, with
now and then a break from the ex-
treme right to the extreme left. From
the foot of these hills the ground slowly
ascends as you advance, and, save two
strips of timber of few acres each, is
open. Do not think it level, for it rolls
like rolling prairie. A strip Of tim
ber, somewhat like that in which the
rebels were posted, runs along a rise to
the west of these open fields, and in
them were posted our army, and over
that open field was fought the battle
Our army gained its position early in
the day, and for artillery duelling the
Generals could not have chosen better
one. The rebels main position was a
splendid one They had their artillery
we'll posted, and handled their infantry
superbly. The creek bottom and the
roads in their rear facilitated the move
ments of their troops, and the ravines
concealed their columns, many of which
advanced to within close rifle distance
before they appeared in view, sbut with
one exception (the capture Of battery
the advantage Of ground gave them no
decided success. A defeat with such
decided advantage makes our victory
more brilliant,
