Hang the AbsIitionists.

The motives which govern two elias IS
of proffesed Unionists arc very dissimilar.
Senator Wicliktfe, Of Kentucky and South
ern semi Union Members Of Congress, de-
clare, that Senator Sumner and those like
him, who maintain that Slavery is barb
arous and despotic subsection Of one man
to to the will Of another, ought to be
hung. And the Sou. hern pro-slayery
Union meeting, at the Cooper Institute in
New York, took substantially the same
ground. We heard two respectfully dres-
sed loafers, sitting on the steps Of the Mer-
chants Bank on the 4th Of July, discussing
the war and arguing that the Aboitionists
ought to be hung, just as much as the seces-
sionists. Proof Of the power Of prejudice
or ignorance. For the Abolitionists are
unit in favor Of the Union and the Govern
ment, and have given their undivided sup
port to the putting down Of this rebellion.
Whenever, therefore, you hear men talk Of
hanging the Abolitionists, you may know
they are pro-slayery, and their sympathies
are with rebels. They dare not openly take
the side Of the rebels, and so they do
the next thing-denounce the enemies Of
the rebels the Abolitionists.
Near all the Volunteer soldiers in the
army are Abolitionists. These pro-slayery
hangmen, therefore, will have plenty of
work to do to finish up the job, We sup
pose the triumph the rebellion would
suit those Union doughfacss just as we'll,
for in that case the Abolitioists would
be sure to be hung. But the victors
would make hewers Of wood and drawers
Of water Of most of these protested Onion
men who want the Abolitionlsts hung.
For the South dsspises this class hundred
fold more than they do the Abolitionists,
and ok upon them as little better than
their slaves. For they know Abolitionists
are right, unless the Declaration Of hide
pendenee is lie. ARd they know, two,
that Northern men who justify and defend
Slavery are either hypocrites or fools
or knaves-Daay LIZ.

On taking charge of the department Of

address.
Washington, July IA.
To the Offers and. Soldiers of tie Army
Of Virginia:
BY special assignment Of the Presi-
dent, | have assumed command Of this
army. | have speat two weeks in learning
your whereabouts, your condition and
your wants; in preparing you for active
operations, and in placing you in positions
from which you can act promptly. And
for the purpose | have come to you from
the West, where we have always seen the
backs of our enemies from an army
where success has been to seek the ad-
versary, and to beat him when found /;
whose policy has peen to attack and not
to defend, and in but one instance has the
enemy been able to place our western army
in defensive attitude. | presume | hare
been called hers to pursue the same sys-
tens, and to lead you against the enemy.
1t is my purpose to do so, and that speedi-
". am sure you long for an opportunity
to win the distinction you are capable OF
achieving; that opportunity shall endeayOr
to give YOU.
Meantime desire TO you to dismiss from
your minds certain phrases, which am
sorry to find much in in vogue amongst you.
| hear constantly Of taking stong posi-
lions and hoIaing them; lines Of retreat,
and Of basis Of supplies. Let us discard
such IDEAS. The strongest position sol
der should desire to occupy is one from
which be can most readily advance against
the enemy. Let US study the probabls
line Of retreat Of our opponents, and leave
our own to take care Of itself. Let us
lock before US and not behind. Success
and glory are in advance; disaster and
shame Turk in the rear. Let ua act on this
understanding and it is safe to predict that
your banners will be inscribed with many a
glorious deed, and that your names may be
dear to your countrymen forever

AFTER ALL.

Apples are ripe in tho orchard,
The work Of the reaper is done.
And the golden woodlands redden
In the blood Of the dying sun.
At the cottage door the grandslre
Sits pale IN the easy chair,
While tho gentle wind of twilight
Ilays with b Is silver hair.
A woman is kneeling beside him,
A fair young head is prest,
In the first wild passion OF sorrow,
Against his aged breast.
And far from the distance
The tailoring echoes come
OF til flying blast Of trumpet
And the rattling roll Of drum.
And the grandsire speaks in a Whisper
EIneend no man can see:
But we give him to his country,
And we give our prayers to Thee"
Tho violets star the meadows,
The rose buds fringe the door,
And over the grassy orchard
The pink white blossoms pour.
But the grandsre's chair Is empty,
The cottage is dark and still;--
There's namelss grave in the battle field
And new one under tho hills.
And pale, te arless won an
BY the cold hearth sits alone,
And the old clock in the corner
Ticks on with steadY drone.
