fought to the admiration of their conEeni
ing officers, and deserved victory which
they had almost won when the orders of,
Generai Mcdowell compelled them TO leave
the field. The tens of thousands of sol
dlers, whom | saw on Sabbath, while they
had sad and disappointed look, yet not
one with whom~we talked feit or said
word but what indicated courage and hope
of final success. A number in a Wiscon
sin regiment and in other regiments, when
/ telling us of the unexpected result OF Sat
urday night, shed tears and affirmed that
it was all owing to bad generalship. This

army, as it IS Of public sentiment here.

! The following letter from Mr. Wade i:
written in response to an invitation to ad
dress the Union Congressional Convention
of the 23rd inst: Il
Ashtabula O., Aug s, 1862.
The Representatives
of the people no longer forgetting their
dignity sue at the foot of the throne for !.
more energetic policy. 1t does not belon q
to the President to devise policy for the
country; his duties are well performed
when he has caused the laws to be faith
fully executed. No matter when he thinks
II politi, or impolitic he has but one sim
pie duty to perform toward it-that IS, to
see that it is faithfully executed There
fore 1t deyolves upon Congress (under the
Constitution the great representative of
the power and dignity of the people, to
devise policy. They who have the pow
er to declare war, to provide armies and
navies, and to disband them at pleasure,
have also the power, when war is declar-
ed, to determine on what principles it
fully, have the last Congress performed
their duty in this respect Let, therefore,
the young man, who IS anxious to assist

boldly forth to the field; no danger that
he viii have his life worked out in mala-
rious swamps while acclinlated negroes
are on hand ready to perform that labor
Su h steps will no longer be refused
lest such employment of it should be dis
tasteful TO the Southern aristocracy lie
need no longer fear that his noble calling
as a soldier will be degraded to the catch
er of negroes for Southern nabobs, that
they may with greater security devote
themselves to fighting in the field The
property Of these aristocrats now stands
condemned and forfeited to the United
States
These things, now, are put under the
stern guardianship of legislation, and they
are fixed laws of the land, no longer sub
ject to be modified by Generals or Presi-
dent Also, the same class of men are by
the same high power decreed to- be free
Therefore, at length we have policy that
there is no power short of that of Con
gress can turn aside. have no doubt it
will be the pleasure of the President, as
1t VIII be his stern duty, to see that these
laws are executed to the letter. But whe-
ther it is his pleasure or not, there is no
dispensing power under our institutions,
and every magistrate who is charged
with the exaction Of the law must answer
at his peril

SONG OF THE SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND.
Where are you going soldiers,
with banner, gun and ssordp
We're marching South to Canaan
To battle Tor the Lord
What Captain leads your armies
Along the rebel coastss
The Mighty One of Israel
His name is Lord of Hosts,
To Canaan, to Canaan
The Lord has led US forth
To blow before the heather walls
The trImpets of the North.
What flag is this yo1 carry
Along the and shoree
The same our grandsires lifted up
The same fathers bore
In many battles tempest
1t shed the crimson rain
What God has woven in his loom
Let no man rend in ain
Tc Canaan, 10 Canaan
The Lord has led Us forth
To plant upon the rebel towers
The banners of the North
What troop is this that follows
All armed With icks and spadesp
These arc the swarthy bondsmen-
The iron-skn brigadesl
They'll pile up Freedoms breastwork
They'll scoop out rebels graves;
Who then 0ii be their owner
And march then of for slaves?
To Canaan, TO Cauaan
The Lord has lead US forth,
To strike upon the captives chain
The hammers of the North
What song is this you're singing?
The same that Israel sung
When Moses led the mighty choir,
And ariam's t,z1brel rung
To Canaan to Canaan
The priest and rnaidens cried
To Canaan to Canaan
The peoples voice replied
To Canaan to Canaan
The Lord as led us forth
To thunder through its adder den
ihe anth ms of the North!
" iien cannan's hosts are scattered
And ali her alls lie fat
What folio next in order?
The Lord y i'll see to that
Wen brake ;he tyrants ceptre-
Wen build the peoples throne;
when half the world is Freedoms
Then all the worlds our own.
To Canaan, 10 Canaan
The Lord hrs I'D us forth
To sweep TIE rebel threshing floors
whirl ind from the North
