MIDNIGHT THOUGHTS.
BY J. F. II.


The Autumn winds are signing.
The Autumn roses dying,
And these precious hours are flying
Too swiftly, far away!
And then must come leave-taking,
And griefthe strong soul shaking
Fond love, from its depths awaking;
LIfe's but parting day.
Even while thou art softly sleeping,
My wakeful eyes are weeping,
And my spirit her vigil keeping
Ipray thee, dream of me!
/ muse on thy dear caressing,
And with love past all expressing
l ask for heavenly blessing
To come and o'ershadow thee!
The midnight stars are shining,
And Hope her wreath is twining,
And the cloud, with its silver lining"
Through this solemn gloom l see!
Sweet Hope on my soul is pouring,
And her wings, like the eagle, soa ring,
The help divine imploring
That | may be worthy thee!
The morrow may bring our parting:
A tear with the thought is starting,
And Pang to my soul is darting,
That thus our fate must be-
But, by this deep hGart-ycarning,
BY faith in my bosom burning,
BY my trust to thy truth still turning,
Keep thou thy taih in me!

been known in tho worlds annals.
1t is an unprecedented thing to find treason spring
lug from excess Of patriotism. But even virtues
when they take the form of fanaticism, are danger

form. His excessive zeal led him to an enterprise

While one Union army is now illustrating its

another army is rapidly being created in front of
Washington. The new evics still continue to pour

is now being drilled and disciplined They could

Jackson is described as a man of very peculiar
temper and habits. He dresses in the commoncst
manner, wearing no badge that can indicate dis
rank lie lives entirely in the field, sharing the
halt-ratons Of his men, and disdaining the cfcni-
nate luxury OF house-roof and good bed At one of

THE INDIAN WAR,


Gov. Ramsay, of Minnesota, in hi, message to the
Legislature on the 9th inst, estimates the number
killed IN course Of the Indian atrocities to five hun
dred. All the wealth of the districts over which the
spoilcr has swept has been wantony sacrificed, and
thirty thousand people have been involved in the
consequences. To cover this loss the Governor
suggests that the United States Government be pe
utloned to appropriate the anuites due the MINES
ota Indians, amounting to 32,1O0O00, or the benefit
of the losers.
Gen. Pope tclcgraphs from the West that the
indian troubles in Minnesota are more formidable
than he anticipated lie asks for authority to have
Two regiments OF volunteers mounted, to pursue the
Indian war parties The eleven thousand men sur.
rendered at lIarpcr's Ferry, by Col. Mics and Gen.
White, are to be sent to Wost to be used agains, the
Indians. They can at once bo made useful. and
they could not serve against the rebels for some
tiuIo to come.

DisGrneeful PROCEEDINGS In Crawford COun-
tT---Resistance 20 the Draff---TreasOn
Rampant.
Z By the Bucyrus Journal we learn that
that village was the scene of disgraceful
proceedings on Monday last, the day upon
which the drafting commissioners notified
the drafted men to report previous to going
into camp. For several days previous
there had been rumors that in some of the
northern townships of the county an or
ganization was forming to resist the draft.
About ten o'clock on Monday, large pOr-
tion Of the drafted men from Holmes and
Chatfeld marched into the Square and gave
three cheers for q" the Constitution as it is
and the Union as it was" then "three
cheers that we won't fight to free the mig
GER and then three cheers for a huge
bowie knife that was shown by one of the
party. The men nearly all had knives or
revolvers, and several of them rifles. The
Journal is informed that all these men had
guns with them until within a mile Of the
town, where they drew up in line of battle,
loaded their pieces with all the coolness of
veterans, and would come no further until
q reliable Democrat rode out, told them
there was no danger, induced them to stack
their arms and marched them into town.
Throughout the day threats to shoot,
q murder" and "butcher" any one who
attempted to force them to leave their
homes were freely made. One Of the
ring-leaders, who carried q rifle and
swore there was double charge in it,
made speech in which he advised all to
stay at home and resist the HAbOlishiners
tyranny; that he was not going, ETC., etc,
and was hugely cheered Cheers were also
proposed for jeff Davis and freely given.
"a rope to hang Lincoln and knife to
butcher every AbOlishiner" was frequently
huzzahed. A man who had said he favor
ed the Presidents recent proclamation was
set on by the crowd, retreated up street,
and was finally taken in charge by Depu-
ty Provost Marshal David Foster, and taken
to the Office of VIM. Reid, the crowd still
following.
In short, treason and disloyalty were
rampant, and the county was thoroughly
disgraced. Toward evening the crowd
gradually dispersed, and the most of the
men subsequently, reported themselves for
duty.

General Mcclellan and the PrOelAmaiiOn'
The New York Tribune editorially says
of McClellan's Order upon the proclama-
tion;
"General Mcclellan in this order ex-
presses no other than a soldiers opinion of
the Presidents Proclamation Of Freedom.
To have done otherwise would have been
held to justify the very license he was con-
strained to rebuke. But we happen to
known that the Generals personal con-
viction and deliberate judgment fully sus-
tain and approve the Proclamation, re-
garding it as a wise, just and necessary
measure of National defense against dead
ly and formidable treason. Whatever ad
verse sympathies and prepossessions Cen
eral Mcclellan may at an earlier day have
cherished have been dissipated by the stern
experience of the last year. He gives to
that Proclamation and the policy it inau-
gurates not merely the ready support Of
his soldiers arm but the full approval of
his understanding and the benedictiOn of
his patriot heart In fact, we believe,
though we have no authority for stating,
that the proclamation was not issued until
after General Mcclellan had signifed to
the President that the time for it, in his
judgment, had fully come. General Nc
Clellan has faithfully, formore than ayear
soughtto save the Union without destroying
Slavery. Not succeeding in that expert
ment, he was now ready to give as loyal
and hearty a support to an effort to save
the Union and let Slavery 60 to the wall.
And that effort will now be made"
Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1862-10-11

We had yesterday morning reports of an
attack Of Bragg, with his whole force, npon
Gen. McCoOk's corps on Wednesday, at
Perryville, near Danville, KY. The battle
continued on Thursday, when Gen. ROs-
seau's corps, formerly Mitchells, came up
and reinforced McCook. Further than this
we know no definite report at this writing,
but dispatches passed on the wires yester-
day to the effect that Buelrs entire army
had engaged the rebels and severely
whipped them. We trust that our mid
night dispatches win give us the particu-
lars.
